After Transmigrating into a Scum Gong, the Rich Young Master Got Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Li Xiao naturally didn’t know what was on Lu Zhaoyi’s mind. He held his bowl and chopsticks, and because Lu Zhaoyi was still worried about him, Lu Zhaoyi himself hadn’t even touched his food, but kept watching Li Xiao.

Li Xiao knew Lu Zhaoyi was watching him, so he naturally ate his meal honestly.

Lu Xiaofeng said, “Young Master Li’s medicated meal is ready. I’ve already discussed his condition with Dr. Yue Senke, so President Lu, please rest assured.”

“Thank you,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’ll have to trouble you all to keep a close eye on his health.”

“Yes, President Lu.”

The two of them quietly left, leaving the dining room space to Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao.

“President Lu, please don’t watch me anymore,” Li Xiao said. “The food won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

Lu Zhaoyi whispered, “It’s not as good as what you cook anyway.”

He knew Li Xiao had seen it and noticed Li Xiao secretly smiling, and he couldn’t help but feel a little smug inside.

He silently tagged himself: #LuZhaoyiHeartthrob.

But jokes aside, he did start eating. After all, he wasn’t going to be ridiculous and trouble his own stomach and body. Complimenting Li Xiao was one thing, but he still needed to eat.

However, Lu Zhaoyi had always known Li Xiao would sneak glances at him, and today he found himself secretly studying Li Xiao too. With that, their eyes met.

Li Xiao quickly lowered his head. Lu Zhaoyi’s expression remained unchanged, but inside he was secretly laughing: How can he be so cute.

Today, Lu Zhaoyi didn’t have to worry about the bowls and chopsticks, and he seemed much more relaxed. He genuinely didn’t want to wash dishes again; being embarrassed in front of Li Xiao was truly awkward.

After dinner, he and Li Xiao moved into the living room. Lu Zhaoyi casually put on a movie, but both of their minds weren’t really on it.

“Li Xiao, is there anywhere you’d like to go? I’m rarely home, and I don’t really have anything to do anyway.” Lu Zhaoyi thought for a moment and added, “It’s a limited-time offer.”

“Anywhere is fine?” Li Xiao asked, blinking his foxy eyes.

“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Tell me where you want to go.”

Li Xiao opened his mouth and said, “The City Amusement Park.”

Lu Zhaoyi could hardly believe his ears: “Say that again.”

Li Xiao seemed to know that his eyes would show all his vulnerability when he looked down. He said, “President Lu, if it’s not possible, that’s fine, it doesn’t matter. You are…”

Before he could finish, Lu Zhaoyi interrupted, “I didn’t say no, I was just a little surprised.”

“When I was little, no one in my family really cared about my opinion, President Lu. Although I’m a local, no one has actually taken me to play there before. Since you said anywhere is fine, I spoke up,” Li Xiao explained and then smiled. “Thank you, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi thought: Actually, it’s not just you who wants to go; I want to go too, but I’m a CEO, so I’m too embarrassed to say it. It’s really great that you suggested it.

Since he had already spoken and made a commitment, Lu Zhaoyi suggested to Li Xiao, “How about we take our luggage and go play for three days? I haven’t been there either.”

Hearing this, Li Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected Lu Zhaoyi to suggest a two or three-day trip: “Is that really okay?”

Lu Zhaoyi nodded slightly: “Mm.”

This was a complete surprise for Li Xiao: “Thank you, President Lu.”

“So happy, huh?” Lu Zhaoyi smiled at him. “Hurry up and pack some luggage; we won’t buy things there.”

“Okay,” Li Xiao asked him, “Can I help you pack your luggage?”

“I’d be delighted,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I’ll go say hello to Chu Sixian, and then I’ll be right back with you.”

“Alright.”

Lu Zhaoyi went inside to join Li Xiao and brought him a glass of watermelon juice: “It’s hot, I brought you a glass.”

Li Xiao took the watermelon juice and asked Lu Zhaoyi, “Have you had yours?”

“No, no rush. I’ll pour my own later,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You drink first.”

Li Xiao nodded, took a sip of the watermelon juice, and then said, “Thank you, President Lu.”

Seeing that his suitcase was still open, Lu Zhaoyi asked, “Do you need help?”

Li Xiao shook his head: “You don’t know how to.”

“Hey,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You found out! You’re something else, you’re already starting to tease me now.”

Li Xiao smiled, “I didn’t realize President Lu was so easy to talk to before.”

“This is good,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “We don’t need to be so cautious between us.”

Lu Zhaoyi actually didn’t know what kind of relationship he and Li Xiao had now, but he still reminded Li Xiao not to be so careful.

“I’ll try my best,” Li Xiao replied.

Lu Zhaoyi was genuinely annoyed by his “poor little thing” persona. Li Xiao was capable of standing on equal ground with him, not like this. Lu Zhaoyi disliked self-deprecation and he disliked Li Xiao being this way.

“Li Xiao,” Lu Zhaoyi called his name, but ultimately didn’t say anything meaningful.

Lu Zhaoyi asked him, “Is there anything else you need to put in?”

Seeing Li Xiao shake his head, he leaned over and zipped up the suitcase.

“President Lu, aren’t you going to check it?” Li Xiao said. “It would be bad if I forgot something.”

“If you forgot something, we’ll buy it,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I won’t blame you.”

“Huh?”

Lu Zhaoyi didn’t know what he was surprised about. He said, “I asked you to do everything. Since you helped me do it, I should thank you no matter what, and of course, I won’t blame you.”

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Lu Zhaoyi took the initiative to pick up the suitcase. He held out his other hand and asked Li Xiao, “Want to hold hands?”

Li Xiao walked up to him and actively took his hand.

Lu Zhaoyi, you’re just too thoughtful.

“Wait,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “I almost forgot the most important thing.”

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Aunt Jiang, could you please bring me the medicine box? Thank you.”

Jiang Luo heard this and handed over the item. Lu Zhaoyi took it and, as expected, saw Li Xiao pull a long face.

“Li Xiao, your health is important; that’s the most crucial thing,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “We can manage your diet at home, but when we go out to play, we can only rely on medicine. We can’t have Aunt Jiang and Uncle Lu follow us around.”

Lu Zhaoyi felt that his words should be completely correct, and Li Xiao indeed responded to him: “I understand, President Lu.”

On an impulse, Lu Zhaoyi said, “So good.”

Li Xiao looked at him and blinked. Lu Zhaoyi pretended he hadn’t said anything, casually holding his hand and walking out.

Just as they reached the elevator, Li Xiao actively reached out and pressed the button. They didn’t wait long before the elevator door opened.

“Let’s go in,” Lu Zhaoyi said, pulling him inside.

Liang Xing was already waiting for them downstairs. He helped Lu Zhaoyi put the luggage away before going back to drive.

Lu Zhaoyi said, “Call me before you need to come back. You can take these two days off.”

“Understood, President Lu.” Liang Xing didn’t usually have much work, but he was always happy to have unexpected time off. After arriving at the hotel, Liang Xing’s wishes for Lu Zhaoyi and Li Xiao to have a good time sounded a few degrees more sincere.

“We’ll go check in first,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “This hotel seems to be mine too.”

Li Xiao gave him an affirmative answer: “It is yours.”

“How do you know?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “Did you do research on this too?”

Li Xiao nodded a little shyly, and Lu Zhaoyi also nodded.

Lu Xiao probably calculated this to see if his own worth could match that of the scum gong. Thinking this way, Li Xiao must have a somewhat photographic memory since he couldn’t be reviewing these things every day, yet he knew at a glance.

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi walked through the main entrance, the people at the front desk simultaneously stood up and bowed: “Welcome, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi acknowledged them and then said directly, “We’ll be staying in the Presidential Suite on the top floor.”

“Very good.”

One of them handed them the room card. Li Xiao took it and thanked them.

Li Xiao swiped open the room door. Lu Zhaoyi walked in and said, “This is much bigger than Xizhou.”

Li Xiao: “Mm.”

“Are you comfortable living in Xizhou?” Lu Zhaoyi said. “If you find it too small, we can go live in the manor in the suburbs.”

Li Xiao shook his head: “It’s too far from Yuehe, it would be inconvenient for you to go to work.”

“Right, I almost forgot,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “You are thoughtful.”

Lu Zhaoyi realized that Li Xiao’s family probably lived in that area. If they went there, they might be discovered by the Li family, but even though he realized this, he didn’t point it out.

Lu Zhaoyi asked him, “Shall we have some dessert before we go out to play?”

Li Xiao’s voice clearly showed his happiness: “Sounds great.”

Seeing him so happy, Lu Zhaoyi couldn’t help but feel sad for him. Li Xiao was so easy to please and so considerate of others, how could the scum gong have treated him that way?

Just thinking about it made Lu Zhaoyi angry and feel it was unfair.

While the two were eating dessert, the private butler came over and introduced them to the worthwhile places to visit in the City Amusement Park. Lu Zhaoyi listened very perfunctorily. After all, they had two days, so they would find fun rides even if they had to rely on luck.

In contrast, Li Xiao was very serious. He was like this with everything; as long as something could be done well by spending time on it, Li Xiao didn’t mind taking the time.

Lu Zhaoyi, however, felt that this was only one reason; having him by his side was another.

No one wants an unpleasant experience when they’re with the person they like.

Lu Zhaoyi didn’t know if this thought of his was wrong because in the original novel, although Li Xiao had slept with the original host (the scum gong) by this point, the description of their feelings was completely glossed over.

Lu Zhaoyi felt that this lousy author totally missed the point of writing a novel. What decent person reads a novel just to see the smut? It wasn’t erotica she was writing! Li Xiao’s emotional change was also very important!

Not writing it now meant he had to guess everything himself. Although looking at Li Xiao wasn’t bad, it still took time.

After the butler finished speaking, he left. Lu Zhaoyi leaned over to look at the paper Li Xiao had just written on and silently memorized the names.

Anything Li Xiao specifically noted must be something he was interested in.

The things he was most interested in, they had to go to today!

“We’ll play until the evening and come back just in time to see the night view of the river,” Lu Zhaoyi said. “That’s pretty much the only use for a floor-to-ceiling window.”

Li Xiao smiled sweetly: “Okay.”

For some reason, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly thought of the scene in the original novel where Li Xiao went to pick up the drunk original host (the scum gong), and that night, he pinned Li Xiao against the floor-to-ceiling window and did it several times.

That jerk really got horny anywhere. Wasn’t the floor-to-ceiling window cold? What was Li Xiao’s health condition? Just thinking about it made Lu Zhaoyi angry enough.

“President Lu, what’s wrong?” Li Xiao asked him when he saw him still standing still. “Are you unhappy?”

“I’m not.” At least not because of you.

Lu Zhaoyi walked to his side, reached out to take his hand, and smiled: “Let’s go.”

“Oh, okay,” Li Xiao said. “I hope President Lu enjoys playing.”

Lu Zhaoyi said casually, “Being with you, I always want to go.”

His original intention was, You are the protagonist shou, I must respect your wishes. But the words fell into Li Xiao’s ears with a different meaning. He smiled, “Thank you, President Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyi never liked to cause others to lose face, so he naturally made no explanation. Since Li Xiao was happy, he wouldn’t do anything to spoil it.
