My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 56

“Girls shouldn’t eat so much. No one will want to marry you if you eat like that. I’m only saying this for your own good. You’re not like your brother who’s still growing.”

After hearing her mother say this, Xu Xiaoguai naturally didn’t dare to eat much anymore. Over time, she had grown accustomed to this portion size.

Today, having eaten half a bowl of rice along with a full bowl of soup, Xu Xiaoguai already felt quite full.

Moreover, since being with Lu Wang, her meals had actually improved quite a bit compared to before.

Seeing that his little beauty in his arms was truly full, Lu Wang didn’t force her to eat more.

Xu Xiaoguai had already taken a bath before bed, with Lu Wang’s help. Now curled up under the covers, she wasn’t sure what to do.

However, Lu Wang didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

The room suddenly fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

To be precise, it was only Xu Xiaoguai who felt awkward.

Lu Wang set the tableware aside, washed his hands, and then returned to Xu Xiaoguai’s side.

“Do you want to sleep a bit more?”

Xu Xiaoguai shook her head; she couldn’t sleep now. “Where are my clothes?”

Her beautiful eyes scanned the room, and Lu Wang got up to fetch a new set of clothes for her from the walk-in closet nearby. Lately, Xu Xiaoguai had been wearing her own clothes to school, knowing that the ones Lu Wang bought were too expensive and she didn’t want to show off.

She also hadn’t thrown away her old phone. When going home, she definitely couldn’t use the new phone Lu Wang had bought for her. Even if her parents didn’t notice, her brother would surely spot it right away.

If that happened, her family would definitely question her, and Xu Xiaoguai wouldn’t know how to respond, so it was better not to let them see it.

Xu Xiaoguai still felt too shy to change clothes in front of Lu Wang, so she asked him to turn around. Then, she quickly slipped into her clothes.

After getting dressed, she slowly got out of bed. When Lu Wang turned back, he bent down slightly, cupped her face in his hands, and complimented her, calling her beautiful.

The man made a phone call, asking the housekeeper to come clean the apartment in the afternoon.

Originally, Lu Wang had planned to spend the entire afternoon with his little beauty, staying in with her all weekend without going out.

But something urgent came up at the company that required his personal attention, so Lu Wang decided to take Xu Xiaoguai along with him to avoid leaving her bored at home alone.

Afraid of disturbing his work and knowing she’d be alone there without knowing anyone, Xu Xiaoguai said she preferred to stay at the apartment. The man didn’t insist on her coming with him.

It was just as well since she still wasn’t walking very comfortably. It was better for her to rest and regain her energy at home.

That way, she’d have more stamina in the evening.

If it weren’t for the company emergency, Lu Wang would have definitely stayed in bed cuddling with his little beauty.

After all, Lu Wang was a man who had just tasted intimacy.

During this phase, he had no sense of restraint.

After he left, Xu Xiaoguai curled up on the sofa alone, scrolling through her phone.

She opened WeChat and saw messages from Qi Yu, along with a muted conversation thread.

Xu Xi had sent her over ten more messages.

The girl frowned, her finger hovering over the message thread but hesitating to open it.

She knew it couldn’t be anything good.

Xu Xi never called her “sister” under normal circumstances, he only did so when he wanted to ask her for money.

Even though she had already said she had no money,

Xu Xiaoguai still clicked open the messages. After receiving so many texts, she wanted to see what Xu Xi had to say.

[Xu Xiaoguai, don’t Mom and Dad give you 200 yuan every month?]

[Transfer this month’s 200 yuan to me. You live at school, so you don’t have any expenses anyway. If I don’t have money, my girlfriend will break up with me.]

[Did you see my messages? Hurry up and transfer the money.]

[Don’t you have weekends off? You don’t even help Mom and Dad sell breakfast.]

[I’ve already talked to Mom and Dad. Since you have a part-time job, the 200 yuan they give you every month will be mine from now on.]

Xu Xiaoguai felt a surge of anger as she read these messages. She and Xu Xi were both their parents’ children, yet Xu Xi received a generous monthly allowance while she only got 200 yuan, and now even that was being taken away.

She didn’t transfer the money and instead replied to him.

[Mom and Dad haven’t mentioned this to me. You already get plenty of money every month. Why do you have to fight me for this 200 yuan?]

It wasn’t that Xu Xiaoguai desperately needed the 200 yuan, but if things were as Xu Xi said, did that mean her parents would no longer care for her at all?

Was she even still their daughter?

[If you don’t believe me, ask Mom and Dad. It’s not like I’m making this up.]

[Hurry up, transfer me 200 yuan.]

Xu Xi replied almost instantly, he was always this quick when he wanted money.

Xu Xiaoguai took out her phone and hesitated, thinking about calling her mom. But before she could dial, her mom’s call came through.

She answered the call.

“Hello, Mom.”

Xu Xiaoguai’s voice was soft and obedient, giving off the impression of someone easy to push around.

“Are you at school? Your dad and I heard from Xiao Xi that you’ve been doing part-time work. Is that true?”

Xu Xiaoguai instinctively tightened her grip on the phone. It was her brother again.

What good could Xu Xi possibly have said?

“Yes… Mom. If I didn’t work part-time, I wouldn’t have money for food.”

She bit her lower lip, not wanting to hear harsh words from her mother.

But she could already guess what was coming.

Xu Xiaoguai wasn’t stupid. With only 200 yuan a month, it was clear they didn’t want to support her.

Two hundred yuan wasn’t even enough for meals, and her parents must have known she was barely getting by with her part-time jobs.

And now, were they going to take even that 200 yuan away?

Were they unwilling to give her even a little bit of love and care?

“Your brother will be starting college soon. You know our family isn’t well-off. It was already a struggle to put you through school.”

Xu Xiaoguai’s voice caught in her throat. But she had paid for her own tuition by working…

Why was it never a struggle when it came to her brother, but with her, they always emphasized how difficult it was?

“Once your brother finishes college, he’ll be at the age to get married. Your dad and I need to save up to buy him an apartment. Our family only has the income from the breakfast shop. You can’t help much, but at least don’t cause trouble for the family. Since you’re already working part-time, we won’t be giving you an allowance anymore. You should understand how much it costs to raise two children all these years.”

“You’re a girl, even with a college degree, it’s not guaranteed you’ll find a decent job. Before, your parents didn’t allow you to date, but if you want to now, go ahead. It’d be best if you got married right after graduation. We’ve raised you all these years, so the bride price should come to us, it’ll help cover your brother’s future wedding house…”
