After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 55

Chapter 55

“No,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, you can’t.”

Li Xiao said: “I miss you.”

Lu Zhaoyi sighed. He wanted to hold Li Xiao but hesitated. Ever since he learned about Li Xiao’s pregnancy, Lu Zhaoyi had been somewhat cautious, and even though Li Xiao was now genuinely three months pregnant, he hadn’t relaxed.

He constantly felt that both he and Li Xiao were too young, and everything between them had happened too quickly.

Things like marriage, and a child.

These were matters that, for others, required slow deliberation, but for them, they were easily completed.

Lu Zhaoyi sat on the sofa, pulling Li Xiao into his lap.

“Xiaoxiao, just relax,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’ve got everything covered.”

“Okay,” Li Xiao said. “I’ll believe whatever you tell me.”

…

Now, even when kissing Li Xiao, Lu Zhaoyi was always restrained. Li Xiao’s complexion was always pale. Even though nutritionists, housekeepers, and nannies were all arranged, the hardship of pregnancy still had to be borne by Li Xiao himself.

Lu Zhaoyi watched this with deep heartache and regretted that he couldn’t do anything but try his best to provide Li Xiao with the best living conditions.

But Li Xiao didn’t lack material conditions; all he wanted was Lu Zhaoyi’s love.

Li Xiao said he wanted to finish his drawings early so he wouldn’t be unable to do anything once the baby arrived. In reality, he didn’t rest. He continued to draw seriously, and in his spare time, he would cuddle with Lu Zhaoyi to watch videos.

As many people say, it’s easy to have various small emotional needs during pregnancy.

Even though Li Xiao tried to restrain himself, he always missed Lu Zhaoyi intensely. He would look at reports and contracts with Lu Zhaoyi. Since Lu Zhaoyi already didn’t frequent the company much, he went even less now.

Lu Zhaoyi naturally knew that Li Xiao was more reliant on him because of the baby, but there were some boundaries Lu Zhaoyi wouldn’t cross.

Even when Li Xiao repeatedly hinted that being careful would be okay, Lu Zhaoyi was unwilling to take it to the final step with him.

Li Xiao’s tears always broke his heart. If he could, he didn’t want his Xiaoxiao to suffer such pain. Whenever he remembered that Li Xiao was in this state because of him, a sense of self-reproach would surface in Lu Zhaoyi.

The longer the child was present, the longer the time they hadn’t gone all the way. But Lu Zhaoyi didn’t mind.

He and Li Xiao had a lifetime together; he wouldn’t rush things because of these dozen or so months. He had the patience to wait and was willing to take care of and cherish Li Xiao.

In the past, Li Xiao had always given more to him, but now it was his turn to return the favor.

…

As the months progressed, Li Xiao started showing more. Eventually, they moved in with Yi Xinyun and Li Junning. With one more person to care for Li Xiao, Lu Zhaoyi felt a degree more at ease.

Li Xiao always reported good news and kept bad news to himself, but how could Lu Zhaoyi miss his reactions when they ate and lived together? Li Xiao was his beloved, carrying his child. Even if Li Xiao didn’t say it, Lu Zhaoyi knew the hardship.

Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao hadn’t attended any social gatherings since the engagement banquet. At first, everyone didn’t realize what was happening, but when they did, they understood.

The young couple was quite good at hiding things, but on second thought, it wasn’t really hiding; they just hadn’t announced it. Given Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao’s status, just being in a relationship was already shocking. Having a child now was no big deal.

What they held was indeed an engagement banquet, but the point was, who didn’t know they already had a marriage certificate? Having a child wasn’t a case of having one before marriage.

When they finally held their wedding, Li Xiao looked quite well, and Lu Zhaoyi’s happiness was written all over his face.

By then, the baby was already two months old.

They were a perfectly matched couple. The birth of the child was a big event in their circle. People originally thought the two would attend their wedding with the baby, but they had no such intention.

The wedding vows were solemn and formal, but the meaning within them had been spoken countless times between the two in private.

Even after having shared the most intimate experiences, both of them still shed tears at the wedding. Every event that ranks among life’s major milestones is worth commemorating, let alone a wedding.

Lu Zhaoyi sighed that he would only ever love Li Xiao. Li Xiao told him: “I know you’ve refused too many temptations.”

They understood many things without needing to say them aloud. The world had countless temptations, but Lu Zhaoyi’s love was only for him. He had given this promise before and had certainly kept it.

Lu Zhaoyi tightly held his hand: “Xiaoxiao, the only person I’ll ever stop to look at is you.”

“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “I know everything, Hubby.”

That “Hubby” made Lu Zhaoyi’s mind wander. Li Xiao said: “Lu Zhaoyi, I miss you. I want you.”

“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It is our wedding night, after all.”

Li Xiao asked him: “How come you don’t look anxious at all?”

Lu Zhaoyi said: “I waited a whole year, so I’m certainly not anxious about just this moment. Xiaoxiao, it’s our wedding night! The ancients talked about the four great joys in life.”

“Rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a strange land,” Li Xiao said the first half, and Lu Zhaoyi smiled and continued, “The night of the bridal chamber, and having one’s name on the golden roll.”

Li Xiao said: “I…”

“You don’t need to prepare anything, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I prepared this time.”

Li Xiao closed his eyes, then kissed him. This was the first time they had let themselves go in so long. Lu Zhaoyi accepted Li Xiao’s主动 (voluntary) kiss.

This night should have been ordinary for them, yet it was also different. After all, this was a real wedding, and the heart’s flutter from the day could still be felt.

Of course, Yi Xinyun and Li Junning were taking care of the baby tonight.

Li Xiao said: “Hubby, we can be a little unrestrained tonight.”

“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi picked him up. After entering the room, Lu Zhaoyi placed him on the bed, then kissed him on the face.

“Go take a bath, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Together.”

“Okay.” Li Xiao hugged his neck tightly. Lu Zhaoyi chuckled, “I’ll carry you in just like this.”

Li Xiao buried his face in his arms: “Mm.”

The temperature inside the entire house was high, and both of them were deeply aroused. After all, it had been almost a year since they had such close contact.

“Lu Zhaoyi,” Li Xiao said. “I miss you so much.”

“I miss you too,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, I like you so much.”

Li Xiao said: “Why did you say what I was going to say?”

“That’s what I wanted to say too,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Just because you said it doesn’t mean I can’t, right? Xiaoxiao has so many rules.”

Li Xiao turned his head away: “I do not.”

“If my wife says no, then it’s no,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “My wife calls the shots on everything.”

Li Xiao’s eyes were hazy: “What if I told you to stay inside?”

With their child already two months old, Lu Zhaoyi naturally understood what he meant. He immediately shook his head: “No.”

“You just said I call the shots, so why is it ‘no’ now?” Li Xiao laughed at him. CEO Lu is breaking his promise.

Lu Zhaoyi candidly nodded: “I am.”

He said seriously to Li Xiao: “We have Mingze, that’s enough. Xiaoxiao, I don’t want to see you suffer.”

Li Xiao said: “But Mingze was also conceived by accident. We were very careful every time, yet he still came to us.”

“That proves he’s our destined son,” Lu Zhaoyi said.

Li Xiao smiled: “That’s true. Lu Zhaoyi, we’ll only have Mingze, okay?”

“Whatever my wife says,” Lu Zhaoyi said.

Li Xiao asked him: “Does CEO Lu’s ‘whatever my wife says’ mean you’ll listen if it’s what you want, but if you’re not satisfied, then you won’t have a wife anymore?”

“I didn’t mean that at all,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, you’re misrepresenting me.”

Li Xiao said: “You know yourself whether I’m misrepresenting you or not.”

Lu Zhaoyi blinked: “Know? Know what? Know that Xiaoxiao is my wife?”

“I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Lu Zhaoyi did stop the flirtatious talk. He carried Li Xiao into the bedroom, and their intertwined bodies affirmed that the feelings between them hadn’t changed at all.

When Li Xiao was incoherent, Lu Zhaoyi coaxed him into calling him “Hubby” a few saccharine times. Even after all this time, Lu Zhaoyi admitted he had no resistance to that title.

The “night of the bridal chamber” was certainly not wasted.

…

The next day, both woke up late. Li Xiao could barely lift his hands. Lu Zhaoyi looked at him, then at himself, and acquired a new definition for “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Normally, he and Li Xiao would retain some sense of reason, but last night, it was completely gone. All reason, caution, and restraint were thrown to the wind.

“Xiaoxiao, we were too crazy,” Lu Zhaoyi commented.

Li Xiao nodded: “Mm, we were.”

Lu Zhaoyi got up, poured a glass of water, and brought it to him, then said: “The milk is outside. Xiaoxiao, we’ll drink it together at breakfast.”

Li Xiao nodded: “Together.”

He answered quickly, but when he tried to get up, he couldn’t help but gasp. Lu Zhaoyi naturally heard it and apologized: “Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

Li Xiao shook his head: “I liked it very much, Lu Zhaoyi. Just do what you want to do. Don’t be hesitant, and don’t be afraid of anything. You are my husband.”

Hearing him say so much at once, Lu Zhaoyi immediately grew anxious: “Xiaoxiao, thank you, but don’t talk anymore. Drink some water.”

Li Xiao nodded, took the cup from his hand, and after seeing him take just a small sip and put it down, Lu Zhaoyi’s eyes showed some worry. Li Xiao said: “You don’t need to be this nervous.”

“Of course I’m nervous,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You are my only wife.”

Li Xiao added simultaneously: “We already drank a lot of other water last night.”
