"Uh..." People always get better, right?

Lu Linghong looked at her, his eyes deep, "What do you think?"

Su Ziqing felt that she was quite shocked. She felt that she couldn't accept his ideas for a while, but she also felt that his suggestion was very... suitable?

"Let's eat something first, I'm really hungry." Without rushing to answer his question, Su Ziqing felt she needed a little time to think it over.

Lu Linghong didn't press her. He just hummed in agreement and introduced her to the delicious food at the restaurant he had brought her to.

Hearing that the chef needed to be booked in advance, Su Ziqing was a little surprised, "Isn't he already off work?"

Look how spoiled these rich people are! They even want their own chefs!

“I live nearby, and everything is already prepared.” Lu Linghong didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. To be honest, he could give her anything that Gong Chengjue could give her.

But... she can give it to herself just as well.

While waiting for their food, Su Ziqing couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, is your family pressuring you to get married?"

"Yes, we pressure them every year." They've tried every method imaginable.

Su Ziqing gave her a look that said, "I knew it," and said, "Then you..."

"I'm not interested."

"Aren't you afraid your family will tell you that of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring?" The Lu family, they must care a lot about their children, right?

In particular, the Lu family did not have as many members as Gong Chengjue.

Lu Linghong looked at her and said, "So, you can think carefully about my suggestion."

"Oh, I'll think about it."

"It will also help me get married while my family is pressuring me to." Lu Linghong took a sip of tea, pretending to be calm. "That's a good thing for me too."

Hmm, that sounds good.

……………………

Su Ziqing woke up from a nightmare; her child was crying and asking her why she didn't want her...

Su Ziqing woke up with tears in her eyes.

She knew she could never make the decision not to have children, otherwise she would spend the rest of her life in self-blame.

She touched her belly and said, "Baby, Mommy was wrong~" You can't even have thoughts you shouldn't have!

Su Ziqing washed up and left her room. Breakfast had already been prepared at the hotel, and her secretary was about to go and call her.

Upon seeing Su Ziqing, the secretary turned off her phone and looked at Su Ziqing, saying, "Ms. Su, please have breakfast first."

Su Ziqing glanced at her secretary's expression. "What's wrong? Is there something you need to report?"

What happened to the company, or something else?

The secretary shook her head. "It's nothing important, Miss Su. Please have breakfast first."

She was afraid that if she said it, Miss Su would completely lose her appetite for breakfast.

Su Ziqing sat down. She usually eats light meals in the morning. After eating a spoonful of porridge, she put down the spoon and said, "Go on."

Is there anything else she can't bear?

The secretary hesitated.

"Speak," Su Ziqing said, her voice slightly cold.

"It's...it's a rumor circulating online, saying...saying you're pregnant..." The secretary was already trying to smooth things over, but she realized she couldn't.

It was as if someone had given special consideration to them.

Moreover, this kind of news isn't serious financial news; it's just placed in the entertainment section.

"...Clang." Su Ziqing hadn't even taken her second bite of porridge when she put the spoon down, making a clinking sound.

Her face darkened. "What did you say?"

How did others find out that she was pregnant?

That Gong Chengjue, isn't he...?

Thinking of this, she immediately asked her secretary to bring her phone, "Let me see."

"Miss Su, I'll take care of this right now." The secretary felt that Su Ziqing, who was pregnant, shouldn't look at it, otherwise she might get angry.

The media outlets even made baseless accusations, implying that Su Ziqing had a chaotic private life and was now pregnant, but the father was unknown.

Then, ironically, it was written that with her wealth, the child's father had certainly profited, and of course he wouldn't mind sharing her with someone else in the process...

In short, his words were extremely chauvinistic, almost explicitly stating that Su Ziqing's personal integrity was questionable.

"Give it to me." Su Ziqing had no patience to waste any more time talking nonsense with her secretary.

The secretary obediently handed her the phone, then became even more worried when she saw that Su Ziqing's face showed no anger.

Is Miss Su so angry that she can't even speak?

Su Ziqing looked at it again. It didn't mention Gong Chengjue at all, and didn't even make any connection to Gong Chengjue. Instead, it described her chaotic private life and her lovers...

She put down her phone. "Public relations, I guess." The whole report was based on hearsay; anyone who didn't know better would think she was in the entertainment industry.

However, she had absolutely no interest in this kind of black and red.

"Ms. Su, this news article seems to be a malicious smear campaign against you. Furthermore, the so-called photos show signs of being photoshopped..."

Su Ziqing gave a light "hmm," and said, "Don't worry about it, just take the PR team down."

"Aren't you going to clarify this?" The secretary felt that these people had malicious intentions, as this concerned Miss Su's reputation.

Su Ziqing shook her head, "It's not important." She was just worried that others would think the child in her belly was Gong Chengjue's, which would be troublesome.

The fact that she doesn't have such associations now is a good thing for her.

Thinking about the kind of person who would do such a thing, she searched her mind for a moment and suddenly Su Enen popped into her head.

It really does sound like Su Enen's doing, and she does have the background to do this, in the entertainment gossip section rather than the financial section.

Looks like she hasn't learned her lesson yet. Didn't the slap in the face last time hurt her enough?

As a parent, how could Chief Su not teach his daughter to be more low-key?

She picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Feng Xixuan with a smiley face, "Senior, when are you coming back to City A?"

She used the word "return" instead of "come," indicating that she didn't treat Feng Xixuan as a guest at all, but rather made Feng Xixuan treat City A as his other home.

WeChat replied quickly, "Sometimes later, is something wrong?"

"No, I just missed you." I wanted you to help me slap someone else in the face.

She's Su Ziqing without any principles now, she won't force herself! If her senior brother can handle it, she won't get involved herself.

"Oh," Feng Xixuan replied with just one word, and then stopped replying to WeChat messages.

Su Ziqing put down her phone and said calmly, "Let her jump around a bit more first." Next time, she'll make sure she can't jump around at all.

"Miss Su, do you know who did it?" The secretary was somewhat alarmed. If that were the case, was Miss Su not planning to get involved? What if things were allowed to escalate...?

Su Ziqing called Lu Linghong, "Senior brother, where are you?"

"Just got back to the capital." Lu Linghong had a meeting to attend in the morning, so he rushed back to the capital early.

Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. "Are you sure your suggestion won't cause you any trouble?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
