My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 59

In the middle of the night, Xu Xiaoguai was both exhausted and hungry. Just when she thought she could finally rest properly, her stomach started growling again.

She shot a somewhat resentful look at Lu Wang.

It felt like she had just moved to a new place to do hard labor.

How did Lu Wang always have so much energy?

She was the one who had been stuck inside all day, while he was the one who had been working.

Hearing the little beauty in his arms was hungry, Lu Wang pinched the soft flesh on her body. “Should we get up and go out to eat, or have someone deliver food here?”

Puffing out her cheeks, she said, “I’m hungry. Either way is fine.”

“Just hurry up.”

Lu Wang couldn’t help but chuckle at her adorable expression.

“Alright, let’s go downstairs. There’s a restaurant not far from here. I’ll call them now to get things ready. Can you get dressed, baby?”

Xu Xiaoguai nodded.

Lu Wang kissed her forehead. “I won’t bother you tomorrow. You can sleep until noon. It’s not like you have classes anyway. Be good.”

The next day.

When Xu Xiaoguai opened her eyes, Lu Wang was already gone from her side.

She rubbed her eyes and checked the time, it was already 11 a.m.

She had actually slept for that long.

Biting her lower lip, Xu Xiaoguai was about to get up when she noticed some bruises still visible on her knees.

It was all Lu Wang’s fault.

He had been so rough with her yesterday.

Rubbing her slightly bloated stomach, she felt a strange sense of emptiness without Lu Wang around after waking up.

Hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone and sent Lu Wang an adorable sticker, a little bunny spinning in a circle with four words above it:

[I’m awake now]

After sending it, she couldn’t help but smile, then placed her phone aside and neatly folded the blankets.

It was a habit she had developed over many years, she never let her room get too messy.

At that moment, Lu Wang didn’t have time to check his phone.

He still remembered how the little beauty’s eyes had swollen from crying yesterday.

The little beauty was only allowed to cry beneath him, no one else was permitted to make her shed tears.

Lu Wang knew that the little beauty was a very filial girl. If he directly targeted her family, she might struggle to accept it and even blame herself.

But he could handle it in other ways.

The Xu household was in chaos.

The Xu couple had been preparing breakfast ingredients to sell the next day. Since everything was made by hand, they had to start a day in advance, and they still needed to wake up early the following morning.

The entire family relied on the breakfast shop for their livelihood.

Just as Mrs. Xu was about to knead the dough, she noticed some small bugs in the flour bag. She turned to Mr. Xu and said, “The weather’s getting hotter, and the flour is starting to attract bugs. We’ve been sifting it out these past couple of days, but we can’t keep doing this forever. What if a customer gets sick and demands compensation? Maybe we should buy a refrigerator so our ingredients won’t spoil.”

Mr. Xu was chopping meat. With no air conditioning in the house, he wiped the sweat from his brow and continued chopping without washing his hands.

“We’re barely surviving in this heat. Where would we get the extra money for a refrigerator?”

He sounded impatient. “The people who eat here are all laborers. Their stomachs aren’t that delicate. Even if someone complains, they won’t trace it back to us.”

Mother Xu still felt uneasy. “What if something goes wrong? We’re not just running this for a few years. We’re getting older, and our son will need to buy a house someday. Shouldn’t we keep it open longer?”

Father Xu paused, placing the knife on the minced meat. “Don’t we have a daughter too? If a daughter-in-law requires a bride price, a daughter can also bring one. She doesn’t live at home now, so what? She has money for part-time work to pay for school, but not to give to the family? We raised her all these years… it wasn’t for nothing.”

“Of course, I understand that logic, but she doesn’t have a job yet. Where would she get the money? We’ll have to ask for it later. If we ask now, she definitely won’t have it.”

Mother Xu continued, “Let’s just buy a cheaper freezer. Having bugs in the flour is no good.”

“I don’t have the money. You’re the one holding the funds. If you want to buy it, go ahead.”

Mother Xu acknowledged with a sound.

Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.

The breakfast shop and their home were connected, so after selling breakfast each day, they would close the shop’s door.

Father Xu wiped his hands on his clothes and walked toward the door. “Who is it?”

“Quality Inspection Bureau. Open up!”

Father Xu, not well-educated, didn’t immediately grasp what was said. Without clarifying, he opened the door directly.

The person outside flashed his credentials.

“Quality Inspection Bureau. You run a breakfast shop here, right?”

Father Xu vaguely sensed something was off. He didn’t respond, and Mother Xu came out from inside.

“What’s going on?”

Father Xu cleared his throat. “They said they’re from the Quality Inspection Bureau.”

Mother Xu’s expression shifted. Their setup was essentially a small workshop. Although they had a permit, no one usually came to inspect.

“Is this your shop? We’re going to conduct an inspection.”

Father Xu knew full well that their breakfast shop had no claim to hygiene. Even the flour had bugs in it. If this were discovered, would they be able to keep the shop open?

There was no need to think twice, they definitely wouldn’t be able to continue.

“We’ve been running this shop for years without any issues,” Father Xu said, blocking the doorway, unwilling to let them in.

The Quality Inspection Bureau staff were all business. Hearing this, their expressions turned cold.

“We’re conducting inspections according to regulations. If you obstruct us, you won’t be opening tomorrow. Can’t you even guarantee basic hygiene?”

Mother Xu quickly pulled Father Xu aside. “Sir, we’re not refusing the inspection. We were just tidying up, planning to cook a meal at home.”

She was rapidly thinking of how to smooth things over. The flour and meat were still out, and the kitchen wasn’t particularly clean either.

They had been too busy lately to tidy up.

When the weather wasn’t hot, she usually had the energy to clean up.

But in hot weather, laziness inevitably set in.

The Quality Inspection Bureau staff weren’t going to listen to their excuses.

After all, today, they were here to cause trouble.

Normally, they might let things slide, but today, Mr. Lu from the Lu Corporation had given the order, so they had to show some respect.

Regardless of what they saw today, this shop was going to be shut down.

They knew ordinary breakfast shops weren’t exactly spotless, but they hadn’t expected it to be this dirty.

The chopping board for the meat had turned green, with stubborn grime stuck to it, the kind that wouldn’t come clean even with washing.

The knife was tossed on a filthy stool, and not a single thing in the entire kitchen would pass inspection.

They walked over to the bag of flour. At first, they hadn’t paid it much attention, but then they noticed the sieve nearby.

The sieve was still coated with white flour.

The staff found it odd and walked over to take a look.

Xu’s mother felt her heart leap into her throat.

If it were just unclean, that would be one thing.

But if someone saw the flour was infested with bugs, wouldn’t they be fined?

Instinctively, she tried to stop them. “Sir, this is something we were planning to throw away. It’s just some old flour from our home.”
