My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 12

“Boss, are you really not going back? This is already the seventh time your mother has asked you to return. If you keep refusing, what if she shows up at the company…”

Lu Wang shot him a glance. “If my mother enjoys coming here, she might as well work here. It’d be even better if she came every day.”

That way, he could go on dates with his little beauty every day without interruption.

Qiao Wen’s mouth twitched at the remark.

He truly had no idea how to persuade him further.

With the boss’s temperament, almost no one could sway him and no one dared.

So, what was he supposed to say to the madam?

Qiao Wen felt like crying but had no tears.

It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fiiine!

How could it possibly be fine?!

Just as Qiao Wen was about to try persuading him again, he didn’t expect the boss to set down his phone on his own.

“Fine, take me back tonight. Anything else?”

Lu Wang thought that avoiding his parents entirely wasn’t sustainable. He might as well go back and see what they wanted to say this time.

Qiao Wen was completely dumbfounded.

Huh???

The boss agreed just like that?

“N-no, nothing else, Boss! I’ll go inform the madam right away.”

After speaking, Qiao Wen hurried out, as if afraid that Lu Wang might call him back and change his mind at any moment.

Lu Wang couldn’t be bothered with him.

He took out his phone and sent a voice message to his little beauty.

[Hey, little beauty, did you miss me today?]

In the evening, Qiao Wen drove Lu Wang back to the Lu family villa.

As soon as Lu Wang stepped inside, he saw his mother waiting at the entrance. The moment she spotted him, her joy was unmistakable.

Truth be told, Lu Wang didn’t have any conflicts with his parents. It was just that he had been sent to a war-torn country when he was younger, which meant he hadn’t had the chance to grow up by their side.

Most boys are closer to their parents during childhood, often relying on them more. But as they grow into adulthood, they gradually become independent and learn to handle things on their own.

By the time Lu Wang returned, he was already a self-sufficient adult.

He didn’t express longing the way his mother did.

Although he had been sent to a foreign country full of strangers with unfamiliar customs at a very young age, Lu Wang held no resentment over it.

That country was more like a tribal society, but it had its own traditions. It wasn’t an exceptionally chaotic place, though internal conflicts were frequent, and people were accustomed to resolving issues through force.

So why were the Lu couple willing to send their son to such a dangerous place? Even if they wanted to toughen him up, that seemed excessive.

There was a reason.

When Lu Wang’s father was young, he had helped the leader of that country, even saving his life. The people there were deeply grateful to Old Man Lu.

They had repeatedly invited him to live among them, showing immense warmth and hospitality.

But Old Man Lu had his own career to pursue.

Later, because Lu Wang was physically weak as a child, they made a tough decision and sent him there.

After all, young Lu Wang wouldn’t be in any real danger there; no matter what, the leader would protect him.

That was how Lu Wang ended up in that war-torn nation.

“You’re back, son. I thought you wouldn’t come home again today.”

When Mother Lu said this, she felt a bit heartbroken. Sometimes, she didn’t dare to criticize Lu Wang too harshly. After all, her son hadn’t been by her side when he was young, and she was afraid that if she spoke too sternly, it might create a rift between them.

“Old Lu, come over here quickly.”

Father Lu usually appeared stern, but he deeply cherished his only child. Back when young Lu Wang’s health was so poor, Father Lu never once considered having a second child with his wife.

“Dad, Mom.”

Lu Wang began to explain, “I’ve been quite busy with work recently and didn’t have time to come back.”

Father Lu looked at Lu Wang kindly and, speaking in the way men often do, asked with concern, “Have you encountered any tricky issues at work lately?”

Father Lu also admired his son. Although Lu Wang had spent his early years living in a war-torn country, he quickly adapted after returning home. Whatever Father Lu taught him, he seemed to remember almost instantly.

And even though he wasn’t exactly… refined, Father Lu knew his son was sharp-minded.

Hearing this, Lu Wang frowned slightly. “No tricky issues, just those old fossils spouting nonsense all day.”

He couldn’t help but add a sarcastic remark, “Old…” Catching himself in front of his parents, he swallowed the rest of the word “farts.”

“I really feel like tossing their heads into the toilet and flushing them down the drain.”

Father and Mother Lu were taken aback for a moment but soon burst into laughter at their son’s words.

Since their son had returned from that country, not only had his physical strength improved, but his personality had also become quite straightforward. Though his words might sound harsh, in Nancheng, few dared to demand respect from Lu Wang.

So even when a few elderly shareholders came to complain to Father Lu, he didn’t take it seriously. Since the company had been handed over to Lu Wang, as his father, he trusted him completely.

“As long as there’s nothing major, that’s good. Your father knows you’ve always done well at work.”

Lu Wang didn’t say much. In fact, he was even a little surprised that his parents hadn’t brought up the topic of him settling down and getting married today.

But Lu Wang’s relief came a bit too soon.

During the meal, Mother Lu began probing indirectly.

“Son, I heard you’ve taken a liking to a girl recently?”

Mother Lu had tried her best to phrase the question delicately.

Yet Lu Wang immediately grew wary. How did his mother know about this?

Qiao Wen.

It must have been him who told her.

Still, Lu Wang hadn’t planned on hiding it.

“Yeah,” he nodded.

The moment he confirmed it, Mother Lu couldn’t contain her excitement.

“Son, what’s she like? Which family’s daughter is she? Why haven’t you brought her home for us to meet?”

Mother Lu was most anxious about Lu Wang’s marriage prospects. Although there was no immediate rush, if they waited until it became urgent, it might be too late!

Lu Wang had no intention of letting his mother frighten his “little beauty.”

“She’s not from some wealthy family. I’m marrying a wife, not a whole clan.”

After saying this, Lu Wang looked at his mother. “Mom, please don’t interfere in this matter. I don’t want to scare her off.”

Mother Lu hadn’t actually insisted on him marrying a wealthy heiress; the words had just slipped out.

“I’m not some evil mother-in-law. I just want to know what kind of girl she is.”

Mother Lu felt a bit wronged by Lu Wang’s words. She hadn’t meant anything by it.

This child… really is protective of his future wife.

Just like his father.

Although she didn’t know who the girl her son liked was, Lu’s mother breathed a huge sigh of relief upon confirming that he was indeed interested in a girl.

It didn’t even matter whether she came from a wealthy family or not.

As long as he liked a girl, that was enough!

There had been a period when Lu’s mother even worried that, having lived abroad for so long, her son might have developed feelings for…

What if he had fallen for a man?

She often lay awake at night fretting over this, and Lu’s father would try to reassure her, telling her not to overthink it.

Now, she could finally set her mind at ease.

Lu Wang also felt that he might have been a bit too harsh with his words earlier. He cleared his throat and said, “Anyway, she’s a really good girl. I’ll bring her home to meet you both someday, but not just yet.”

Hearing this, Lu’s mother was puzzled. “Why not now? Does her family not approve?”

She found it hard to believe. Even if her son could be a bit… blunt at times, with the Lu family’s status, what kind of family would possibly refuse?

Lu Wang looked slightly uncomfortable. “Her family doesn’t object. It’s just that she’s a bit shy. When the time is right, I’ll bring her to meet you.”

Lu Wang finished his meal quickly. Because of the conversation at the dinner table, Lu’s mother didn’t bring up the topic of arranged meetings again.

She asked him to stay the night, and Lu Wang didn’t refuse. He went upstairs early, eager to check if “Little Beauty” had replied to his messages.

After her son went upstairs, Lu’s mother excitedly patted her husband’s leg. “Old Lu, our son has a girl he likes! I wonder what she’s like. I can’t wait to see her, even a photo would do. Should we have someone look into her? Our son doesn’t have much experience with relationships, and I’m worried he might get taken advantage of.”

“Alright, if he doesn’t want us to meet her yet, we won’t. But we should at least know her background.”
