After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 48
Chapter 48
“Will they… see it tomorrow?” Li Xiao asked, feeling a bit embarrassed after answering.
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “Xiaoxiao, you already put on a scarf a long time ago. You can’t possibly take it off just so others can see the strawberries, can you?”
Li Xiao blinked: “I guess I could.”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled and ruffled his hair: “So cute.”
Li Xiao leaned on his shoulder: “Your strawberries haven’t been finished yet.”
Lu Zhaoyi nodded: “My wife’s neck still has some, too.”
Li Xiao immediately buried his face in Lu Zhaoyi’s embrace. Lu Zhaoyi chuckled: “Xiaoxiao, how are you suddenly getting shy?”
“How can you be like this…” Li Xiao said to him. “All you do is bully me.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “How can playful intimacy with your boyfriend be called bullying?”
…
The next morning, Lu Zhaoyi woke up with Li Xiao. Lu Zhaoyi looked at Li Xiao’s neck with a knowing glance and said, “Go wash up.”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “Together.”
Li Xiao intentionally exposed the red marks on his neck for Lu Zhaoyi to see. Lu Zhaoyi said: “I know I planted them.”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “CEO Lu must take responsibility for me.”
“Naturally, I will take responsibility,” Lu Zhaoyi added. “We already slept together.”
Li Xiao looked at him, then tried to kiss him. Lu Zhaoyi sensed his intention and smiled: “Babe, if you’re this passionate again, it won’t just be your neck you need to cover up later.”
Li Xiao’s cheeks were flushed, and in the end, he only placed a kiss on Lu Zhaoyi’s face.
Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “Being this obedient today doesn’t quite seem like you.”
Li Xiao’s cheeks were flushed: “What are you talking about?”
Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “Let’s go out for breakfast first.”
“Okay,” Li Xiao joked. “In this regard, you don’t act your age.”
“Oh?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I love eating breakfast too much. It’s the others who don’t understand.”
Li Xiao was about to answer when he heard Lu Zhaoyi’s tone full of pride: “But they also don’t have a wife as good as mine.”
Li Xiao blinked: “Mm.”
Despite joking about it yesterday, Li Xiao still honestly wore his scarf today. He knew his own physical condition. There was no need to get sick because of this, which would then cause Lu Zhaoyi to worry.
Anyway, the company had air conditioning, so there would still be ways to let others see if he wanted to.
The temperature in the car was not low. Li Xiao opened a few windows to let the air in. Lu Zhaoyi asked if he was cold.
Li Xiao shook his head: “I’m a little hot.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “It does seem a bit warm.”
But he didn’t lower the temperature. The outside temperature had been dropping. Opening a window for ventilation was fine, but if the temperature was set any lower, it probably wouldn’t be very comfortable.
Lu Zhaoyi disliked winter and didn’t want to make Li Xiao or himself uncomfortable.
After getting out of the car, Lu Zhaoyi even helped fasten Li Xiao’s scarf more tightly. Li Xiao smiled: “Why are you nervous?”
“I’m not nervous,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m afraid you’ll get cold.”
“Let’s go eat first, and then we’ll go to the company together,” Lu Zhaoyi said.
“Okay.”
Since they were eating at a restaurant instead of getting takeout for Yuehe, both of them felt the warmth of the shop as they entered. Lu Zhaoyi saw Li Xiao open his coat but not remove his scarf.
He was already pale, and now, dressed thickly, he looked even smaller.
After ordering, Lu Zhaoyi rested his chin on his hand and looked at Li Xiao.
“What is it?” Li Xiao asked him. “Why are you looking at me?”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Just looking at something beautiful.”
Li Xiao pointed to himself, and Lu Zhaoyi nodded.
“Be confident, it’s you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “An absolute beauty.”
“Your creation is more beautiful.”
Li Xiao’s hand touched his scarf, making Lu Zhaoyi immediately realize what he was talking about.
“You are so skilled,” Lu Zhaoyi affirmed.
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “I’m naturally skilled. Otherwise, how would I win the heart of Young CEO Lu?”
Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “Is that how you use that phrase?”
“Yes,” Li Xiao said. “I want to use it that way.”
After finishing breakfast, both of their expressions returned to normal. Lu Zhaoyi looked like someone heading into the company to face his colleagues, and Li Xiao was the epitome of a pampered young master.
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, you’re holding back too much.”
“The feeling is mutual,” Li Xiao said. “Didn’t CEO Lu want everyone to see us like this?”
“I did not, you’re making that up,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m already like this inherently.”
Li Xiao didn’t call him out and held his hand as they walked into the company together.
Lu Zhaoyi usually didn’t like using the exclusive elevator, but now he led Li Xiao straight into it, simply because he didn’t want the employees to gossip every time they saw them.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xiao noticed Lu Zhaoyi’s gaze and asked.
Lu Zhaoyi looked at him and said: “Xiaoxiao, we’re alone. You can take off the scarf.”
Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately reached up to take it off. Lu Zhaoyi watched him, then lifted the scarf to shield both their faces. They kissed under the scarf.
The elevator door opened, but neither of them paid attention. After all, no one else would use this elevator. It wasn’t until the door had been closed for a long time that they finally separated.
“The door is closed,” Li Xiao said.
Lu Zhaoyi suggested: “Then should we kiss a little longer?”
Li Xiao blushed and opened the elevator door. He even quickened his pace for a few steps, but Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t in a hurry. Realizing Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t caught up, Li Xiao stopped to wait for him.
“I knew it,” Lu Zhaoyi smiled. “Xiaoxiao wouldn’t leave without me.”
Li Xiao simply reached out to take his hand. As they passed the floor-to-ceiling window, Li Xiao’s eyes suddenly changed.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhaoyi asked him.
Li Xiao looked at him and said: “People outside can’t see inside.”
“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Yuehe wasn’t built this high for nothing.”
Li Xiao said: “Lu Zhaoyi, let’s do it here.”
Lu Zhaoyi looked at him, then looked at the floor-to-ceiling window, and heartlessly said: “It’s cold.”
Li Xiao glanced at him. Lu Zhaoyi said: “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Li Xiao followed behind him. After entering the office, neither of them wore their outer coats anymore.
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, stop looking. It’s not suitable for anything inappropriate to happen this early in the morning.”
“Oh…” Li Xiao said. “But yesterday, we didn’t…”
“Hmm?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, have you finished your design draft?”
Despite not expecting Lu Zhaoyi to ask this, Li Xiao still answered his question: “Yes, I’m done.”
“I see,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao is so amazing.”
“I was planning to show you today,” Li Xiao said. “I thought I could give you a surprise, but I didn’t expect you to bring it up first.”
Lu Zhaoyi cleared his throat: “Actually, I just wanted to change the subject.”
Li Xiao smiled: “Babe, I know.”
“You spoil me too much, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Babe, are you trying to help me look over today’s contracts too?”
Li Xiao said: “That’s what a working man does, making his partner do the work.”
Lu Zhaoyi felt justified: “Mm, isn’t that right?”
“Okay,” Li Xiao said. “Yuehe has a lot going on recently, but fortunately, you don’t have too many things that require your personal presence.”
“Yuehe is all about appearances,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Besides, I have Xiaoxiao.”
“A little too arrogant, Young CEO Lu,” Li Xiao said with a smile. “Do people usually talk about you?”
“Talk about what?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Being spoiled and arrogant, or having a wonderful lover?”
“Hahaha,” Li Xiao said. “I meant to say you are especially wild.”
“I think so too,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “But it doesn’t matter, since you like me.”
“That’s true,” Li Xiao said. “No matter what, I still like you.”
Lu Zhaoyi had only meant it as a joke, but Li Xiao said seriously: “Lu Zhaoyi, I originally wanted to use certain things to keep you, but you were the one who actively proposed getting the marriage certificate with me. You can never let go of me for this lifetime.”
“It was only ever you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, what are you saying?”
Li Xiao suddenly started crying. He cried silently, not making a sound.
Lu Zhaoyi walked over and sat down next to him, then pulled him into his arms. However, Li Xiao wasn’t satisfied with just this; his tears didn’t stop falling.
Lu Zhaoyi panicked, carefully recalling anything that might have caused Li Xiao’s state today. After a moment of thought, he realized it might be because of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He turned Li Xiao over and pressed him onto the couch, then placed a kiss on Li Xiao’s forehead. He started kissing there and continued to leave hickeys on Li Xiao’s pale neck.
Li Xiao submitted to all his movements, and soon, both of them felt their desire for each other surging.
In the beginning, Lu Zhaoyi kept reminding himself that this was the office, not an appropriate place, and that he absolutely couldn’t lose control.
But the person under him was Li Xiao, the person he loved, the person who loved him with the utmost sincerity. Lu Zhaoyi could still be rational when speaking, but now, he truly couldn’t manage it.
Li Xiao was no better off than him. He was already feeling a little wronged, hinting and outright asking Lu Zhaoyi, but Lu Zhaoyi hadn’t agreed to it.
Even knowing that this wasn’t a sign of Lu Zhaoyi disliking him, Li Xiao still felt hurt.
He wanted Lu Zhaoyi.
Not just to see him every day, not just the cautious first time. He wanted Lu Zhaoyi, both emotionally and physically.
No one could refuse their lover. This wasn’t something Lu Zhaoyi had to suggest first for him to think about; in Li Xiao’s eyes, it was a perfectly normal thing.
Li Xiao asked him: “If you mind the floor-to-ceiling window, should we go inside?”
Lu Zhaoyi sealed his question with a kiss. When they separated, Li Xiao spoke breathlessly: “There are things inside…”
“Xiaoxiao?” Lu Zhaoyi asked him. “What are you talking about?”
Li Xiao said, his eyes red: “I don’t want to hold back. I want you.”
He added: “I brought the things last time I came. You didn’t use them, so I added some new ones…”
