After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Lu Zhaoyi heard that surprisingly suggestive remark and felt a little embarrassed, so he said: “Xiaoxiao…”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “Let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s go see your son.”
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “My son?”
“Mm,” Li Xiao affirmed. “Your son.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Is Xiaoxiao trying to draw a line between us?”
“No,” Li Xiao said. “I just thought the image of being a 24-year-old divorced father with a child was quite amusing.”
“That won’t do,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “No divorce. As for the child, I can always deny him.”
Li Xiao laughed: “Why does that sound increasingly wrong?”
Lu Zhaoyi ruffled his hair: “You started it.”
Li Xiao told him: “Mom and Dad took him to play. We don’t have to worry about him.”
Lu Zhaoyi blinked: “Really?”
“Really,” Li Xiao said. “They said they knew it was our honeymoon and we’d want to make some beautiful memories, so they specifically took Lu Mingze to keep him from disturbing us.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “That’s wonderful.”
Li Xiao said: “You clearly like him a lot. Why do you always say things like that to deceive yourself?”
Lu Zhaoyi pulled him into his arms: “Xiaoxiao, even now, when I think back to two months ago, I still feel heartbroken.”
Li Xiao smiled: “I know, Lu Zhaoyi. You’re holding me too tight.”
“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I know.”
Li Xiao laughed: “Since you know, why don’t you let go?”
Lu Zhaoyi shook his head: “No.”
Lu Zhaoyi rested his head on his shoulder. After a long moment, Lu Zhaoyi finally let go of him. Li Xiao smiled: “What is it?”
“Nothing,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I just really like you.”
Li Xiao squeezed his hand: “Lu Zhaoyi, I know everything. Lu Mingze is two months old already. You don’t need to worry about the past.”
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m lucky to have you.”
Li Xiao smiled: “I feel the same way.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, shall we spend a few days having some time just for the two of us?”
“Okay,” Li Xiao lowered his head, thinking about something. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had this chance.”
“I know,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It’s really tough on us.”
Li Xiao ruthlessly exposed him: “We’re not even the ones raising the child.”
Lu Zhaoyi coughed to cover his embarrassment: “Didn’t we spend time with him? It’s not like we left him with the nanny all the time.”
Li Xiao smiled and nodded: “My husband is right.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Just now you were talking about being a divorced father with a child, and now you’re calling me ‘Hubby.’ Xiaoxiao, you’re changing a bit too fast.”
Li Xiao said: “I don’t think so.”
“Then it’s not fast,” Lu Zhaoyi said casually. “Either way, you’re my wife.”
“Mm.” Li Xiao intentionally pulled down his collar a little, exposing the ambiguous marks on his body. Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, why are you…”
“A kiss.” As he spoke, Li Xiao placed a kiss on his cheek.
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Happy honeymoon, my Xiaoxiao.”
Li Xiao nodded and added: “Every day I’m with you is a happy one.”
“I know,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao likes me very much.”
“I like you very much,” Li Xiao nodded honestly. “You’ve always known that, and the answer would be the same if you asked a million times.”
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Zhaoyi told him.
…
There were many places they could go, but they had no specific destination and were too lazy to follow popular tourist routes. Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao told the driver to drive wherever, preferably to less-known spots.
Along the way, they did go to a few places. The advantage of having fewer people was that they could kiss freely, without any fear or avoidance. They wouldn’t be disturbed by worldly scrutiny.
Lu Zhaoyi laughed: “Xiaoxiao, we’re acting like we’re blaspheming the gods.”
Li Xiao said seriously: “If there truly are gods, then they should bless us with lasting happiness and joy for a lifetime.”
“That’s true,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Since I choose to believe in him, he has to bless us.”
“That’s a powerful statement from CEO Lu,” Li Xiao laughed. “But I feel the same way.”
“That’s why Xiaoxiao has always been my perfect match,” Lu Zhaoyi stated confidently. “We are the same kind of person.”
“Correct,” Li Xiao said. “We are a match made in heaven.”
…
Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi’s wedding was grand, dominating trending topics for several days. Some netizens even compiled a timeline of the two on Weibo.
Netizens even calculated that the baby was likely conceived shortly after Lu Zhaoyi showed off their marriage certificate.
Seeing this blog post, Lu Zhaoyi asked in surprise: “How did they calculate that so accurately?”
Li Xiao laughed: “You showed off the marriage certificate, and someone probably leaked the son’s birthday. Through deduction, they could figure it out.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “That’s true.”
Li Xiao laughed. Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt a bit put out: “Xiaoxiao, are you making fun of me?”
Li Xiao shook his head: “I feel very reassured.”
“Really?”
“Really,” Li Xiao wasn’t humoring him. He said very seriously: “Lu Zhaoyi, as I’ve said many times, I see everything you do.”
“It’s worth having to deal with so many people,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’m practically a modern-day emotional guru.”
Li Xiao smiled: “Lu Zhaoyi, you did it.”
“What?” Lu Zhaoyi didn’t immediately catch what he was referring to.
Li Xiao told him: “You only love me.”
“Of course,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Xiaoxiao, didn’t you believe me before?”
Li Xiao shook his head: “It’s not that I didn’t believe you; I was just still worried…”
“I understand,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “With so many messy people appearing around me, I’d be worried if you weren’t concerned.”
Li Xiao nodded: “It’s good that you really did it.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “I’ve plucked the bright moon from the sky. How could anything else catch my eye?”
Li Xiao laughed: “Lu Zhaoyi, you’re being so dramatic!”
“I’m not being dramatic,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You are the most precious.”
“Mm,” Li Xiao said. “You are the most precious.”
…
Netizens not only calculated that Lu Mingze was conceived not long after they got their certificate, but some even guessed they were having a wedding.
Lu Zhaoyi asked: “I didn’t tell anyone about the wedding, did I?”
“No,” Li Xiao said. “Don’t worry.”
“I have nothing to worry about anyway,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “The whole world knows we’re married.”
Li Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded in affirmation, “The whole world indeed.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “I put in a lot of effort.”
“I know,” Li Xiao asked. “Did you discuss it in a meeting?”
Lu Zhaoyi looked at him, his eyes clearly saying: How did you know?
Li Xiao smiled: “Your secretary told me.”
“Why are all of them siding with you?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “It looks like there’s no place for me at Yuehe anymore.”
“There’s room for you on my body,” Li Xiao said.
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Xiaoxiao, you…”
Li Xiao said directly: “Shall we?”
“Mm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Wife.”
Li Xiao leaned in and kissed him: “Lu Zhaoyi, I want you.”
The rest of the words were replaced by kisses. They had been restrained for too long, yet their bodies were still perfectly matched. Even though they had enjoyed themselves fully last night, this little bit of temptation made them desperately miss each other.
…
They played and enjoyed themselves for several days. With Lu Mingze, they were determined not to have another child.
Lu Zhaoyi stated: “Having Lu Mingze was already unexpected. I absolutely refuse to have another one!”
“That’s good,” Li Xiao smiled. “It saves me the trouble of restraining myself.”
“And me,” Lu Zhaoyi affirmed. “It’s better without a child.”
Li Xiao laughed: “Are you starting again?”
“Mh-hmm,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Mission ‘Abandon Son’ completion: 100%.”
Over these few days, the marks of affection on Li Xiao and Lu Zhaoyi had hardly faded.
At first, they were a little embarrassed, but now they didn’t hide them at all.
Anyway, the whole world knew their business, so there was no need to conceal anything when meeting friends and business partners.
However, some people still asked about Lu Mingze. While Lu Zhaoyi might joke in front of Li Xiao about not liking Lu Mingze, in front of others, he went to great lengths to talk about Li Xiao’s hardship and praise Lu Mingze’s cuteness.
Li Xiao had already guessed he would act this way and kept a faint smile on his face.
After returning, Lu Zhaoyi asked him: “Was I too dramatic?”
Li Xiao shook his head: “No, that’s a very normal reaction.”
“Really?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Praising Lu Mingze is truly difficult for me, his father.”
Li Xiao laughed: “Darling, do you want him to speak eight languages at three and directly inherit Yuehe?”
Lu Zhaoyi pondered for a moment: “I wouldn’t even believe a child like that in a novel.”
“That’s definitely too exaggerated,” Li Xiao said. Then he saw Lu Zhaoyi resting his chin in his hand, deep in thought.
“What are you thinking about?” Li Xiao asked him.
Lu Zhaoyi said: “At seven, is it possible?”
“Pfft.” Li Xiao was certain: “Impossible.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “We’re both so smart. It’s not impossible for Lu Mingze to be smart, is it?”
“Smart is one thing,” Li Xiao said. “But we’re not immortals.”
Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt a little wronged: “This world started as a novel, so why can’t Lu Mingze be like the children in other novels?”
Li Xiao said: “The sons in other novels bear the responsibility of maintaining their parents’ relationship. We don’t need that.”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “He needs to be a little smarter to compete for my affection.”
Li Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore; he burst out laughing: “Lu Zhaoyi, now that I’m helping you with Yuehe, if Lu Mingze also helps you with Yuehe, what will your job be?”
Lu Zhaoyi’s expression didn’t change: “Being the wife.”
Li Xiao: “How could you…”
Lu Zhaoyi said: “Not bad, right? I learned it from my wife.”
“Which wife of yours taught you?”
“I only have one wife,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “He taught well.”
“Who is your wife?”
“Li Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi said.
