After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Lu Zhaoyi awkwardly said: “I…”

Li Xiao blinked: “If there really is one, would you want it?”

Lu Zhaoyi pulled him into an embrace: “I can’t risk hurting your body. I’ve finally gotten you to this state.”

Li Xiao nodded: “I understand, Lu Zhaoyi.”

The meaning was that although Lu Zhaoyi wasn’t prepared, if a new life truly came to be, he wouldn’t reject the child’s birth, but everything had to prioritize Li Xiao’s health.

Lu Zhaoyi placed a kiss on his head, then said to him: “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiaoxiao, where do you want to go today?”

Li Xiao said: “I just want to stay with you. As for where we go, anywhere is fine. I’ll listen to you.”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and ruffled his hair: “Little fox.”

Li Xiao’s face was slightly red: “It’s still because our CEO Lu is too good at it.”

“Good at what?” Lu Zhaoyi asked. “Especially good at pleasing you?”

“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “Especially, exceptionally good.”

…

Later, Li Xiao confirmed the final design drawings for the engagement banquet with him again. Li Xiao had drawn several styles. He showed all of them to Lu Zhaoyi, who always praised him, and this time was no different.

“Xiaoxiao is truly a godsend,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Too amazing.”

Li Xiao said: “My being skilled just saves money for CEO Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “That’s right. I wanted to give our Xiaoxiao something better, but unfortunately, Xiaoxiao is already the best, and there’s really no one else who can replace him.”

“You are the one who knows how to compliment,” Li Xiao smiled. “Whatever you say, I believe.”

“You can definitely believe it,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Our Xiaoxiao is simply the best.”

“You always say that. Do you really think so, or are you just saying it to make me happy?” Li Xiao asked him.

“To make you happy.”

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi said that, he saw Li Xiao’s unfriendly gaze. Lu Zhaoyi chuckled: “How can my darling be so cute? The truth makes you this happy.”

Li Xiao straddled Lu Zhaoyi’s lap: “Let’s do something that makes us even happier.”

“Huh?”

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi asked, Li Xiao kissed him. His kiss was passionate, but the eyes looking at Lu Zhaoyi were full of tenderness.

Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, I love you.”

“Me too,” Li Xiao said. “Lu Zhaoyi, never betray me, eternal loyalty—I give all these promises to you.”

“I am the same,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, even if more people appear around us later, it won’t damage our relationship in the slightest.”

“You’ve already been trying your best,” Li Xiao said. “I know it all.”

“Knowing it doesn’t stop my darling from getting jealous,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I still need to say more to reassure you.”

“So, which version of the design drawing did you choose?” Li Xiao asked. “I’m genuinely undecided.”

Lu Zhaoyi looked at him, then casually pulled out one of the sketches: “How about this one?”

“That works,” Li Xiao nodded, then got up. “Since we’ve decided, let’s go out and have some fun, CEO Lu.”

“Okay,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Since it’s settled, let’s go out and relax.”

…

The South seemed to only have two seasons: summer and winter. There was hardly any transition from scorching heat to bitter cold. Li Xiao’s scarf was thick. Lu Zhaoyi, usually too lazy to wear a scarf, only loosely draped one around his neck today just to look more coordinated with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao couldn’t help but smile when he saw him. Lu Zhaoyi said: “What’s wrong?”

Li Xiao shook his head and didn’t say clearly, only saying to him: “You’re the cute one, after all.”

“Who is complimented as ‘cute’ all the time at 23?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, don’t you consider using a different word to praise me?”

“I won’t consider it,” Li Xiao shook his head, a smile on his face. “I think it fits.”

“As long as you think it fits,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “What my wife says goes.”

There weren’t many people in the park. Winter always had a touch of desolation, yet the flowers in the park were still blooming vigorously.

Lu Zhaoyi said: “The beauty of the four seasons is not even half as good as Xiaoxiao.”

Li Xiao smiled and asked: “What brought about this sudden sentiment?”

Lu Zhaoyi led him to sit on a long bench in the pavilion: “Xiaoxiao, I never liked going out to see the scenery. I used to think it was boring. Looking back, it was just because I didn’t have anyone with me. With you, I always find it interesting.”

Li Xiao placed his other hand on Lu Zhaoyi’s: “I will always accompany you from now on.”

“Good.” Lu Zhaoyi met his gaze, his eyes full of affection. “I trust Xiaoxiao’s promise.”

…

After submitting the design drafts, Li Xiao had been closely following up. For a one-of-a-kind garment in the world, he wanted the result to be the best and most aligned with their vision.

He would show Lu Zhaoyi the draft every time he made a revision. Lu Zhaoyi saw how much effort he was putting in, often noticing fatigue on his brow, and kept asking if he wanted to stop and rest, as the outfit didn’t need to be rushed.

Li Xiao, however, refused the concern. He said to Lu Zhaoyi: “Lu Zhaoyi, I just want to give us the best. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I am genuinely eager to present the best result.”

Seeing his persistence, Lu Zhaoyi stopped persuading him, but spent more time accompanying Li Xiao. With many things happening near the end of the year, he was constantly with Li Xiao.

They each did their own work, and their relaxing activities almost all became kissing each other, or massaging shoulders and pounding backs.

The small things in life piled up into tender love, making the bond between the two grow even stronger.

…

When the annual company meeting arrived, Li Xiao attended with Lu Zhaoyi. Both of them looked unapproachable, but when they looked at each other, their eyes were filled with tenderness.

This proved that their gentleness was specific. Their demeanor when facing each other was always different from how they treated others. The only difference was that everyone wanted to be them. They were a couple, a relationship recognized and protected by law, so their display of affection was completely normal.

After the annual meeting, Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao began their vacation. It was truly a vacation for Lu Zhaoyi, who completely relaxed.

Li Xiao, however, hadn’t changed much and continued drawing as usual. Lu Zhaoyi smiled: “Xiaoxiao, why have you been so busy lately?”

“I need money,” Li Xiao said. “Earn a little more so you don’t have to be so busy.”

“You’re already doing great,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, don’t push yourself so hard.”

“I know,” Li Xiao said. “It’s better for me not to be idle. When I’m idle, I always can’t help but overthink things.”

Lu Zhaoyi hugged him, then placed a kiss on his forehead: “Xiaoxiao, I know you’re worried about the engagement banquet.”

Li Xiao said: “It’s happening soon. I truly have a sense of unreality.”

“I feel the same way,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, since we already have the certificate, the engagement banquet is just a formality, just something for everyone to see.”

Li Xiao said: “We’re probably the only ones who got the marriage certificate so long ago and only now are having the engagement banquet.”

“That’s simple,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, if you’re in a hurry, we can combine the two events.”

“No need for that,” Li Xiao said. “Let’s take it slowly. Didn’t you want to collect an extra round of gift money?”

Neither of them lacked the money, so Li Xiao was naturally joking. They just wanted everyone in their circle to know how good their relationship was.

They had changed rings a few times, but ever since Li Xiao presented the first pair, they never took them off. They wore matching couple rings everywhere they went.

They wished the whole world knew.

…

This year’s winter was truly cold. Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao began a life holed up in their apartment. Lu Zhaoyi said to Li Xiao: “Xizhou is still too small, a bit inconvenient.”

Li Xiao knew what he meant, so he asked him: “Shall we move now?”

“Xiaoxiao knows me best,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I do have that intention.”

The pen in Li Xiao’s hand didn’t stop. He smiled: “Your saying it proves that’s what you’re thinking. I will naturally obey you completely.”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, stop drawing. Let me kiss you.”

“Mm.” Li Xiao had been spending too much time in front of screens recently. Lu Zhaoyi knew he took his work seriously, but he also used various methods to help Li Xiao relax.

He himself was the type to get tired of things if he did them for too long, so he naturally applied that perception to Li Xiao as well.

Working is never as fun as slacking off.

Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, let me exploit you a little.”

Li Xiao smiled: “CEO Lu usually claims to be a working man. Now you’re showing the face of a capitalist?”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “It’s only because our Xiaoxiao is willing to let me exploit him that I say this.”

Li Xiao’s face was slightly red: “Do you still like the flavors lately?”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “If you like it, I like it.”

Seeing Lu Zhaoyi’s expression, Li Xiao was genuinely embarrassed. He said: “Just pretend I never asked.”

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “No, I want to experience it with you again. I don’t quite remember.”

“I haven’t finished the draft…”

Li Xiao didn’t finish the rest of his sentence. Lu Zhaoyi pressed him down and kissed him.

Li Xiao reminded him: “We are going to see Mom and Dad tomorrow.”

“I know,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Then I’ll restrain myself and make sure they don’t notice.”
