Chapter 14 Manta Rose is Gu Xianyue's husband, and she's pregnant...
The heat on Xia Weiwei's face wouldn't subside.
As she looked at the millet porridge, images of the Lu family came to mind.
Help! They must have heard what she said, otherwise Lu Yanzhou wouldn't have turned the camera around.
It's all Lu Yanzhou's fault. He forced me to develop the habit of looking at his abs every morning for eight days. I can't even enjoy my food without seeing them.
Xia Weiwei exhaled and inhaled, her toes curling up, and finally went to the bathroom to wash her face, where the heat finally dissipated.
She sat back down, and Lu Yanzhou called her on video. She hung up without thinking.
She could almost picture Lu Yanzhou mocking her for being cowardly when her phone rang.
[L: Aren't you going to watch it anymore?]
Still watching.
Xia Weiwei didn't reply. Her phone chimed again. After finishing the porridge in her mouth, she opened her phone again and saw a photo of a man shirtless, wearing a floral apron.
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Xia Weiwei's breathing quickened; she only dared to glance at it briefly before turning off her phone.
The phone screen lit up again with a ding-dong sound.
Xia Weiwei didn't dare to open it, but she kept thinking about what Lu Yanzhou had sent this time.
She would wait three more seconds, and if Lu Yanzhou sent another message, she would see what he would say.
one……
two……
Ding-dong.
Before the three-minute mark arrived, the phone screen lit up.
It was sent by him; she didn't insist on seeing it.
Xia Weiwei opened her phone, read the message, and her face darkened.
[Mom: Are you pregnant?]
[Mom: You come home right now, or I'm coming to the film set to find you!]
Xia Weiwei frowned. How could Li Xue go to her house?
Since few people visit her home, Xiaoya keeps her pregnancy test report at home.
Since Li Xue visited her house to apologize and coax her last time, she had forgotten that Li Xue would come.
Xia Weiwei was still thinking about how to handle it when Li Xue called her via video call, which she answered.
"Aci, who is that person? Do you know what you're doing? Go home right now!"
Xia Weiwei had never seen Li Xue look so worried. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and she looked like a balloon about to burst.
"Mom, this was an accident. I have a show to do today. I'll tell you the details another time."
She knew she couldn't hide it for long; once her belly got bigger, she wouldn't be able to come out and film.
But I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"No way, if you dare go to the film set today, I'll come find you there."
Li Xue's eyes hardened, as if she wanted to reach through the screen and grab her.
Li Xue is a person who acts recklessly, and she actually managed to find it.
"Okay, I'll come find you."
Xia Weiwei asked the crew for another day off, and the director readily agreed without asking any questions.
Xia Weiwei asked for leave at 8:30 and got home at 1:00 PM. Li Xue kept urging her to arrive, but she kept using traffic as an excuse to delay.
Xiaoya escorted Xia Weiwei to her doorstep. As soon as the door opened, a fruit knife flew out from inside.
Xiaoya's heart leaped into her chest, her mind went blank, and Xia Weiwei pulled her away.
This is...this is...!
Xiaoya was rambling incoherently when Li Xue rushed out and grabbed Xia Weiwei's arms tightly.
"Aci, tell your mother, were you forced by that bastard?"
"Don't worry, we won't have this child. Don't be afraid, Mom will take you to the hospital to abort it first. It won't be an obstacle on your path to stardom."
Li Xue pulled Xia Weiwei's hand and tried to walk out, but Xia Weiwei shook her hand off forcefully, stepped back, and walked towards the living room.
Li Xue turned around and looked at him with a cold expression.
"Mom, I want to give birth to her."
Xia Weiwei spoke calmly, while Li Xue's facial muscles trembled.
"How can an unmarried woman like you have a child?"
"We got our marriage certificate."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Xue didn't believe it at all and said she should see the marriage certificate.
Who would carry a marriage certificate with them? Lu Yanzhou would.
Xia Weiwei said she didn't bring it, but Li Xue didn't believe her at all. She sneered and insisted on taking her to the hospital.
"Why? My mother was able to give birth to me, so why couldn't I give birth to her?"
Are they afraid of hindering her career?
Is she just a money-making machine in Li Xue's eyes?
Xia Weiwei shoved Li Xue, taking several steps back herself.
"You know how your mother married your father, how she had a child out of wedlock, and how many scornful looks she received in the Gu family. Do you want to suffer those scornful looks too?!"
“Aci, you can follow the traditional process, fall in love, get married, have children, and give birth to your baby, instead of getting pregnant out of wedlock.”
“Aci, your mother really can’t bear to see you follow in my footsteps.”
Xia Weiwei's breath hitched; her mother actually thought that way.
The mother was worried that she would get hurt.
Li Xue's voice choked with emotion. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, took a few steps forward, and took Xia Weiwei's hand.
"Don't be afraid, Mom will be with you throughout the entire miscarriage process."
“Mom, he’s not that kind of person. He said he would protect me and the baby. Besides, we’ve already registered our marriage.”
Seeing that she couldn't reason with Xia Weiwei no matter what she did, Li Xue frowned and took two steps back, giving her a snobbish look as she was sized up.
"Are you trying to use the baby to climb the social ladder?"
"No!"
Xia Weiwei retorted sharply.
Li Xue wouldn't listen to a word.
"No?"
"Does not having you mean I have to have a child?"
"You two have been married for a while now, right? If not, and the other party doesn't even mention meeting the parents, what kind of protection is that?"
“I have no intention of meeting your parents, and none of you care about me anyway.”
Xia Weiwei lowered her voice for the second half of her sentence, but Li Xue was too angry to hear it. All Li Xue could think about was that she had no intention of meeting the parents. Getting a marriage certificate without meeting the parents? Was it a marriage of convenience?
Li Xue stepped forward, grabbed Xia Weiwei, and dragged her toward the door.
Xia Weiwei refused, gripping the sofa tightly. Xiaoya panicked but still stood protectively in front of Xia Weiwei.
"Get out of my way! I'm disciplining my daughter, what right do you have to speak up!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
Li Xue exerted all her strength, and Xiaoya's cheeks swelled up rapidly.
"Mom, what are you doing!" Xia Weiwei stepped forward and shielded Xiaoya behind her.
Seeing that Xiaoya's eyes were already brimming with tears, she couldn't help but scold again, "Mom!"
"Aci, I never thought you would have such impure thoughts and want to go astray. I've laid out the old path right in front of you, why do you still want to go? Are you going to the hospital or not!" Li Xue was also driven to desperation, and raised her hand high again.
Xia Weiwei looked up at the hand, her eyes filled with determination.
"I'm not going!"
"good."
Li Xue slapped him, the crisp sound echoing in the room.
Strange, she didn't feel any pain.
Xia Weiwei slowly opened her eyes and unexpectedly saw Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou's left cheek was more swollen than Xiaoya's.
Lu Yanzhou shielded her from it.
"Auntie, oh no, Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Lu Yanzhou squeezed in, standing between the two of them.
"Who are you?"
"He is Gu Xianyue's husband, the father of the baby in her belly."
Who is Gu Xianyue?
Li Xue was caught off guard and didn't react immediately. When she finally did, she met Xia Weiwei's eyes and saw the girl's resentful gaze.
It had been fifteen or twenty years since I last heard the name Gu Xianyue.
Li Xue flipped through the document herself and asked, "How can you prove that you are Aci's husband?"
Lu Yanzhou took out a red booklet from his pocket and showed it to Li Xue.
Li Xue glanced at the person in the photo, then at the person in front of her, looking at him several times before confirming that it was indeed him.
Seeing that she trusted him, Lu Yanzhou put away the marriage certificate.
“Mom, we’ve been busy with work. I’ve wanted to visit you and Dad for a long time, and my family was saying this morning that they were coming to visit you.”
"Don't worry, we will hold a grand engagement party and wedding, and we will never do anything that is not presentable."
"Besides, you're overthinking it. We got our marriage certificate first, and then we found out about the baby. I didn't marry A-Yue because of the baby in her belly; I genuinely wanted to marry A-Yue."
As Lu Yanzhou spoke, he squeezed his large hand into her fingers, holding her hand tightly.
The man looked at her with deep affection, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Xia Weiwei slowly nodded: "I also want to marry him." She paused for two seconds, then added, "I like him very much, Mom."
The man stood firm, his grip on her hand tightening even more.
The tightness made Xia Weiwei feel pain, and she looked at Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou, puzzled, raised an eyebrow, as if asking what was wrong.
Xia Weiwei waved her hand. He noticed that the girl's hand had turned red from his grip, so he immediately loosened his grip a little, but didn't let go.
"I'm sorry, Mom, you must be embarrassed. She rarely says she likes me, so I was just too excited to hear it."
The man scratched his head with his other hand.
It's a real shame that Lu Yanzhou doesn't go into acting; he's such a good actor.
Now, not only is Mom about to believe it, but she, the person directly involved, is almost convinced.
"What should I call you?" Li Xue asked.
Just as Lu Yanzhou was about to say his full name, Xia Weiwei interrupted, "You can just call him Xiaozhou."
Li Xue ignored Xia Weiwei's words and instead looked at Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou nodded, and Li Xue then called him "Xiao Zhou".
Li Xue then asked Lu Yanzhou how many people were in his family, what jobs his family members did, what he himself did, whether he owned a house in Beijing, where the house was located, what kind of car he owned, and how the bride price would be given.
“I am my parents’ only child. My family is in the investment and finance business, but currently we are focusing on human skills. When I came back from Hong Kong, I told my family that I would serve as a director in the Beijing branch during A-Yue’s pregnancy.”
Lu Yanzhou had gone home to take care of this matter.
Lu Yanzhou is actually an only child?
Xia Weiwei was slightly suspicious.
Then she realized that Lu Yanzhou would be staying in the capital from now on.
Xia Weiwei's lips curved slightly, without her even realizing it.
"I own a villa in Hai Tiandi, Beijing. As for cars, I'm quite fond of them and own nearly a hundred. In terms of brands, I have Rolls-Royces, Cullinans, Bentleys, and Land Rovers. As for the bride price..."
“I am willing to give my entire fortune to A-Yue, and A-Yue does not need to bring a dowry.”
Lu Yanzhou's gaze was fixed solely on her figure.
She felt a surge of heat in her chest and lowered her head.
"Verbally?" Li Xue pressed.
"We can sign a contract."
Li Xue nodded and told him to prepare the contract.
"Mom, actually, we signed a contract before we got our marriage certificate. All the issues you're worried about have been discussed and resolved in the contract. There's no need to sign another contract. I'll show you our prenuptial agreement another day."
Li Xue was skeptical, but Xia Weiwei said, "I've seen men scheme and plot. How could they not plan for their own escape? Don't worry."
Xia Weiwei smiled and met Li Xue's gaze. Li Xue understood what Xia Weiwei meant by the man's scheming and plotting.
Gu Yousheng schemed and plotted to obtain his current fortune.
Li Xuexin was relieved.
Li Xue looked at Lu Yanzhou again. The young man was upright and tall, wearing a white shirt and black pants. He looked refined and spoke politely. He seemed like an honest person.
"Xiao Zhou, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the housekeeper come over and cook."
"No need, I'll do it tonight."
Li Xue beamed with joy when she heard that Lu Yanzhou could cook for himself.
He is young and promising. As a company director, he can also cook. It's rare to find a man who is both elegant and domestic.
Li Xue was extremely satisfied, but how could she let Lu Yanzhou cook dinner tonight? After much persuasion, the two decided to have the housekeeper come instead.
Xia Weiwei took Xiaoya to get an ice pack on her face. She intended to give Xiaoya three days off, but Xiaoya disagreed. She said if she left, there would be no one to take care of her.
Lu Yanzhou gave her a bank card containing 50,000 yuan.
"Thank you for protecting A-Yue. This is your reward."
Xiaoya looked at Xia Weiwei, who nodded, and Xiaoya happily accepted it.
"You don't need to take care of Weiwei tonight, I'll take good care of her. You can rest assured and get some rest."
Xiaoya didn't agree immediately. It was only after Xia Weiwei told her to go back and rest well and that she would come to pick her up the next day that Xiaoya finally agreed.
Lu Yanzhou doesn't have any dietary restrictions. If there's anything he particularly avoids, it's probably garlic. He hates the smell of garlic and even more so the pungent taste of garlic lingering in his nasal cavity.
Li Xue asked him why there was no garlic in any of the dishes at dinner. Lu Yanzhou smiled and noticed the fish on the table.
"Mom, Yue doesn't eat fish, you're wrong."
Xia Weiwei saw the fish as if it were nothing special, but her expression paused when she heard Lu Yanzhou's voice.
He actually knew she didn't like fish.
"Aci doesn't like to eat fish. Mom always thought Aci liked to eat fish. Next time, Mom won't make it."
Xia Weiwei gave a perfunctory smile. She had heard Li Xue say this countless times before, and she was tired of hearing it.
"By the way, Xiaozhou, don't call her Ayue anymore. Everyone in the family likes to call her Aci."
Xia Weiwei remained expressionless, numbly taking the spoon to scoop out the porridge.
The porridge was placed a bit far away, so I had to stand up.
Just as she was about to stand up, the bowl in her hand was taken away.
The man was tall and had long arms, so he didn't need to get up to serve the porridge and place it in front of her.
"Do you like the nickname 'Aci'?" The man looked directly at him.
“I…” Xia Weiwei parted her lips slightly, catching a glimpse of Li Xue’s displeased gaze.
“Ah Yue, say what you want to say. With me here, no one will dare to go against your wishes.”
Even if that person is her biological mother, it's still not okay.
Xia Weiwei glanced at Li Xue again. Li Xue smiled, but her smile contained a hint of threat.
Since Lu Yanzhou said that, she also wanted to know if Lu Yanzhou could protect her.
"I like it when people call me A-Yue."
As soon as Xia Weiwei spoke, Li Xue shouted sternly, "Aci!"
She doesn't like the nickname "Aci"!
Lu Yanzhou's smile held a hint of unyielding authority: "Mom, you heard it, she likes people to call her A-Yue,"
"From now on, Mom, you'll be called A-Yue, not A-Ci anymore."
Li Xue disagreed and glared at him, while Lu Yanzhou gave a soft "Hmm?".
The man sat upright, exuding an air of authority without anger.
Li Xue wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Yanzhou's expression, she didn't dare to speak.
The fish was removed, and there was no food on the table that Xia Weiwei was interested in. She touched the plate with her chopsticks and then put them back.
"What would you like to eat?" Lu Yanzhou pulled up a chair and leaned closer to ask her.
Xia Weiwei shook her head, and Lu Yanzhou understood and stood up.
He understood something. Xia Weiwei's gaze followed Lu Yanzhou as he entered the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Yanzhou served up celery stir-fried with pork.
"Try it."
It was all green, and she didn't want to eat it.
But Li Xue was there; she was to act out a scene of her and Lu Yanzhou being a loving newlywed couple.
"I love my husband's cooking the most." Xia Weiwei said in a sweet, coquettish tone, which made Li Xue tremble.
But that's normal.
The celery is so smooth that it separates easily without needing to bite, and it also has a satisfying meaty texture.
It's delicious!
Xia Weiwei's eyes lit up, and Lu Yanzhou moved the dishes closer to her.
"Mom, A-Yue loves my cooking. Don't worry, I will take good care of A-Yue. A-Yue and the baby in her belly will be fine."
Li Xue was so satisfied that the smile on her face wouldn't fade.
Lu Yanzhou sat back down in his chair, his imposing aura gone, and Li Xue resumed her parental demeanor.
"Although you two are legally married and the child is legitimate, he hasn't met your parents yet, Xiaozhou. When will you...?"
"Cough cough..." Xia Weiwei choked and coughed incessantly, forcing Li Xue to stop talking. Lu Yanzhou poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
After Xia Weiwei finished her drink, she didn't cough. Li Xue wanted to ask about the meeting between their parents, but Xia Weiwei said she was finished eating and wanted to rest. Lu Yanzhou stopped her and said there was dessert after the meal, and Li Xue was ignored again.
"What dessert?" Xia Weiwei wondered. Just then, the doorbell rang. As Lu Yanzhou went to open the door, Li Xue pulled Xia Weiwei back.
"Ah Yue, you need to tell your father about your marriage. I think Xiao Zhou is a decent and reliable person, and he should be a rich young master. Your father will be overjoyed to know that you have married such a noble young man."
Xia Weiwei glanced at Li Xue's beaming smile, a deeper meaning appearing in her eyes: "Mom, don't you think the name Xiaozhou sounds familiar?"
Li Xue was puzzled for a moment, then asked, "Really?"
She knew that her mother didn't care about anything, including her own affairs, and that she didn't even know Lu Yanzhou.
Xia Weiwei shook her head and said no.
"I've already spoken to your dad, and after that, I can meet with him again."
"It's been a long time since we last met."
When are you going to meet my dad?
Gu Yousheng can't even take care of that family, how could he have time to meet with Li Xue?
Li Xue almost blurted out that it was the day after her birthday, but she managed to swallow her words back, showing a rare moment of rationality.
"No, I've been thinking about him too much. Mom hasn't seen your dad in a long time. Can you help Mom?"
Li Xue pleaded, but Xia Weiwei felt a chill in her heart. She knew that her mother's apology and attempts to coax her last time were just a fleeting moment.
In Li Xue's mind, she was still a tool to get her husband's attention.
Now that both sets of parents are gradually finding out, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer. I wonder what Gu Qianyue's expression will be when she finds out that her husband is Lu Yanzhou.
She nodded, telling Li Xue to tell her when she had a moment that Lu Yanzhou had brought back a cake.
She immediately noticed the letter M on the cake, and Li Xue noticed it too.
"Didn't his business go bankrupt?" Li Xue asked.
Lu Yanzhou nodded. It had indeed gone bankrupt, but…
"If A-Yue wants to eat, the business will never go out of business." The man's tone was incredibly arrogant, as if he could get her the moon if she wanted it.
A four-inch cake with a small red fish shaped into cream on top.
It looks beautiful, and it's sweet but not cloying.
“When I was little, Ah Yue loved this cake the most. I couldn’t buy it several times, but I didn’t expect it to be available again now.” Li Xue sighed, and Lu Yanzhou’s questioning voice fell beside her.
Why couldn't you buy it?
Li Xue let out a soft "uh." At the time, Uncle Shanke Cake Chain was considered an expensive brand, and she spent all the little money she had on clothes and makeup, so she didn't have any extra money to buy expensive cakes for herself.
Besides, the weather is so hot in June, she's not going to queue up.
Children grow up naturally, and they won't lack food along the way.
"Mom, were you mean to A-Yue when she was little?" Lu Yanzhou bluntly pointed out, and Li Xue was filled with embarrassment, her face twitching uncontrollably.
"But Mom, from now on, with me around, whatever Yue wants to eat, whatever she wants to buy, Yue must be able to eat or buy it."
"Mom, did you understand?" Lu Yanzhou smiled. Li Xue's mouth was covered, so she couldn't speak and could only nod.
The scene was somewhat eerie; Li Xue didn't look like a mother-in-law, but rather like Lu Yanzhou's subordinate.
As Xia Weiwei ate her cake, she wondered why she was so fond of Uncle Shan Ke.
She had never celebrated her birthday before she turned thirteen. When she turned fourteen, Gu Yousheng suddenly had a kind heart and bought her Uncle Shan Ke's birthday cake.
Delicious!
She had never tasted such delicate cream before, and finally understood the happiness on Gu Qianyue's face when she ate Uncle Shan Ke's cake.
She happily went to take a second bite, but Gu Qianyue came back and pushed her cake to the ground, crying and shouting why she could eat it, while only she could eat Uncle Shan Ke's cake.
Gu Yousheng, feeling a headache coming on, tried to coax Gu Qianyue, and even scolded her for not finishing her food earlier, saying she didn't deserve to eat good food.
Looking back now, she really just wanted to receive the same treatment as Gu Qianyue.
Gu Qianyue was celebrating her birthday and invited her classmates to her home for a birthday party. She could only hide in the attic, where she never saw the light of day.
The following year, she worked hard to save money to buy Uncle Shan Ke's cake.
Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat rolled down her face as she stared intently at the cakes in the shop window.
"Hello, I would like a limited edition birthday cake."
"Sorry, we're sold out today." The shop assistant smiled sheepishly.
Her expectant face fell, and she slowly walked out of the cake shop. It was Uncle Shan Ke who called her back.
"I have some leftovers here, young lady, do you mind? It's free."
She vowed then that she would turn fifteen earlier and buy everything.
However, on his fifteenth birthday, Uncle Shanke passed away due to illness, and the cake shop went out of business.
"A-Yue?" Lu Yanzhou called her name. She snapped out of her daze, her eyes flashing with pain.
"Ah Yue, with me here, you can eat cake whenever you want from now on."
"With me here, you no longer need to envy anyone."
Xia Weiwei's heart was instantly gripped by Lu Yanzhou; it seemed to be beating only for him.
No, she's suffocating, she can't breathe.
Xia Weiwei looked away and softly hummed in agreement.
When Li Xue returned home that night, Xia Weiwei still felt a little strange after seeing Li Xue off. Last time, Li Xue came to her house to coax her, so why did she come this time? Turning around, she saw a man who had taken off his shirt taking off his pants, revealing the edge of his underwear with CK logo.
Xia Weiwei: "..."
"What are you doing? Put your clothes on!" Xia Weiwei shouted.
"Xia Weiwei, you're really funny. I didn't show you this morning and you called me. Now that I'm showing you, you won't look at it."
"Why is my wife so difficult to please?"
The man spoke slowly, his hand resting on his trouser leg, looking helpless.
“If you find it difficult to please, you don’t have to,” Xia Weiwei retorted.
"Don't you know?" the man asked as he walked over.
Xia Weiwei looked over and was just a millimeter away from bumping heads with Lu Yanzhou.
The air tightened slightly.
The man's eyes were bright, looking straight into her heart.
"Know what?" Xia Weiwei murmured.
"I love tackling tough challenges."
Lu Yanzhou reached out and lifted the ends of her hair that were hanging over her shoulder.
"I love the spinal cord inside the bones even more; I suck the marrow and eat the flesh, leaving not a single bit."
Lu Yanzhou's eyes were filled with the vast ocean, the seawater surging towards her, and her heart gradually deviated from its predetermined course.
"I'm going to wash up." Xia Weiwei took two steps back, creating some distance, and walked towards the bathroom.
She could feel Lu Yanzhou's gaze even before she went into the bathroom.
Her apartment is a two-bedroom unit, one of which is her bedroom and the other is her converted studio.
I expect to sleep with Lu Yanzhou again tonight.
She looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed, as if she had just done *that*.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the ends of his hair that hung down in front of him.
Was he flirting with her just now?
No, how can she blush like that while he remains so calm?
After Xia Weiwei finished washing up, she opened the door, and Lu Yanzhou was already there.
"I washed it pretty quickly today, it only took twenty minutes."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
He's a bit eccentric; he likes to guard the bathroom door.
wrong……
"Are you worried I might have an accident in the bathroom, that's why you started timing me?"
The girl's eyes were full of teasing, but Lu Yanzhou glanced at her and looked away.
"You're the one who kept me from going to the bathroom."
Lu Yanzhou grabbed her shoulders with both hands and moved her over like he was moving a flowerpot.
By the time Xia Weiwei's legs touched the ground, the man had already entered the bathroom.
What? You're just relying on your strength, aren't you?
Xia Weiwei stomped her foot angrily and went into the bedroom.
Lu Yanzhou looked around the washroom and, finding no men's supplies, smiled contentedly. He then turned and instructed Zhang Quan to bring his supplies up.
Lu Yanzhou landed in Hong Kong at noon and went to the film set to look for her, but couldn't find her. He learned from Liang Yun that she had gone home.
After washing up, Lu Yanzhou's dark black bathrobe was neatly tied. He thought for a moment, then untied all the ties, smiled confidently, and walked into the bedroom. His eyes widened suddenly.
The girl, wearing a red deep-V halter nightgown, stood by the bed, raising her legs one after the other. Her black lace panties were hooked up by her fingers and precisely placed into the fixed pocket of the dress. Her long, fair, and delicate legs were raised high as she stepped onto the bed, her private area vaguely visible.
She pulled the blanket over, only covering one leg, her fingers playing with her long hair, the ends falling onto her cleavage. Because it was too long, it couldn't completely cover her cleavage, and she wore a soft smile.
"You've arrived."
Before her voice even reached him, the scent of apples emanating from her filled his nostrils.
He grunted in agreement and strode onto the bed.
"Then I'll turn off the lights?" Xia Weiwei turned her head and slightly lifted the blanket.
The man's arm slammed between the two of them, and he gave a soft "hmm" as his nose brushed against the girl's hair.
The thin blanket covering him was practically nonexistent, and he could clearly feel the girl's breasts, which were full, masculine, and large.
"Xia Weiwei, you..."
"Sorry, the switch is with you. I have to go past you to turn off the light."
Lu Yanzhou opened his eyes, saw the girl's innocent face, and could only close them again.
"fine."
"It's so kind of you."
The girl praised him, and after she lay down, her long legs under the covers landed on his lap.
"Lu Yanzhou, you haven't told me your story yet."
Lu Yanzhou: "..."
He took a deep breath and exhaled, "I won't talk today."
"Baby, Daddy's tired of us," the girl said to her belly, sounding aggrieved.
Lu Yanzhou had no choice but to turn his head and open his eyes, where he saw a snow-white and delicate peach.
"Oh no, my tank top strap has come off! You're not allowed to look!"
Xia Weiwei quickly covered his eyes with her small hands and pulled her suspenders with her right hand.
Lu Yanzhou's breathing became heavier.
"All done." The girl finished tidying up and "kindly" informed him before letting go of his hand. Lu Yanzhou saw the girl's pitiful expression.
"Today we're going to talk about the Ugly Duckling. It's summer, and the mother duck... Everyone calls it the Ugly Duckling."
"Lu Yanzhou, who are you calling ugly?" the girl said discontentedly.
Lu Yanzhou ignored her and continued talking. The girl got angry, turned over, spread her legs, and sat on his abs.
The lines of her abdominal muscles were clearly visible beneath her skin.
She brought her face closer: "Am I pretty?"
The man's breathing was heavy, his eyes practically devouring her, but perhaps because of the darkness, the girl didn't see him; her innocent face remained unchanged.
"Tell me quickly, am I pretty?"
"Good, look." The man uttered each word slowly, his dark eyes blazing with fire. He couldn't help but reach for her lower back, but the girl deftly rolled over.
"Good to know, let's change the story."
Lu Yanzhou paused for a few seconds, then began to talk about Snow White.
As he listened to one story after another, Lu Yanzhou's throat grew dry. Looking again, he saw the girl fast asleep.
Finally, I managed to lull this little devil to sleep.
He lay down, and this time he didn't have to move the girl himself. She rolled into his arms on her own, and he could smell her apple scent and feel her soft, delicate touch against his skin.
He opened his eyes, lowered his head, and saw the fragrant peaches.
I'm completely unable to sleep.
The sound of running water from the bathroom could be heard, and a weak voice, like that of a kitten, could be heard from the doorway.
"Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou."
Lu Yanzhou never wished he had such good hearing.
He didn't respond, and the girl banged on the bathroom door louder.
"Lu Yanzhou! Lu Yanzhou!" she called out loudly.
I really want to bring her in and get it done!
I don't know what's going on with him, yet I'm still flirting with him!
"What are you doing!" he said rudely, followed by the girl's reply—
"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet, come out quickly!"
"Now?" Lu Yanzhou felt the rush of blood rushing back through his body. Was Xia Weiwei deliberately playing with him?
"Hurry up, Lu Yanzhou, I can't hold it in any longer!"
The girl's voice clearly became more anxious.
Lu Yanzhou looked over and saw the girl's blurry figure spinning in circles.
She was also embarrassed. She didn't want to go to the toilet in front of Lu Yanzhou. She had always thought that she lived alone and that the bathroom didn't have a wet and dry separation.
After a long silence, I listened again and—
