Chapter 54 The child belonging to him and her.
Zhou Jinbai was frightened by her words. His eyes, which had been calm, suddenly widened when he heard her say that she was pregnant.
He stopped what he was doing and asked again in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Su Li pushed him out. "I'm pregnant. I said I'm pregnant. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Zhou Jinbai quickly pulled himself away, quickly lowered Su Li's legs from the stove, and rubbed the spot where he had just penetrated her. He was surprised and confused, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He quickly lifted the person off the stove. "Does it hurt? Blame me for being impulsive."
Su Li shook her head. It didn't hurt, but he suddenly entered her and then came out again, and she felt empty.
He straightened his pants, fastened his belt, told her to stop working, picked her up and walked out of the kitchen.
Su Li was about to serve him some rice when Zhou Jinbai hugged her and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He reached out and touched her flat belly, unable to hide the joy in his eyes. "I'm going to be a father, right? It turns out that biological children are the best choice. I haven't been this happy in a long time."
Su Li deliberately angered him, "Put me down, I don't plan to give birth to the baby."
When Zhou Jinbai heard this, he paused his hand that was gently kneading her belly and asked, "Why?"
Su Li looked at his slightly darkened eyes and said, "Giving birth to the baby will affect my career. If I start to take care of the baby, all my announcements will have to be postponed. And if I suddenly fade out of everyone's sight, they will definitely guess that something is wrong with me."
Zhou Jinbai frowned slightly. "In your heart, career is so important? More important than the happiness of our family of three? Are you short of that little money?"
Su Li didn't say anything, just staring into his eyes. Zhou Jinbai tilted his head and kissed her lips, then flatteringly asked her, "Give birth to the baby, okay? You don't know how happy I was when you told me you were pregnant. My heart almost stopped for a second. I really thought I was going to die. This proves that our fate is more than just this."
Su Li met his kiss and exchanged a sweet deep kiss with him. After their lips and tongues entangled for a long time, she slowly left his thin lips.
The tip of her right index finger gently stroked his lower lip. Looking down at his trembling lips, Su Li deliberately asked, "What kind of identity would I have if I gave birth to this child? If I gave birth to this child, the sky would fall."
Zhou Jinbai hugged her tightly, looking up at her pretty face. "Don't give up. I'll take care of everything. You don't need to worry about anything, okay? I'll go to your house and propose marriage. We'll get the marriage certificate and prepare to become parents."
When Su Li heard his low voice saying these words, her heart was moved. For a moment she was impulsive. Even though she had experienced betrayal in marriage, she could still be easily coaxed by Zhou Jinbai.
She didn't say anything. Zhou Jinbai kept kissing her flatteringly, "Wife, give birth to this child. This child is hard-earned. The one you give birth to will definitely be as cute as you."
After a moment of silence, Su Li asked him, "What if my parents don't agree? I'll definitely get scolded."
Zhou Jinbai stroked the corners of her eyes with his big hand and said, "It's okay. Let them scold me. I'll go to your house to be scolded. You can even beat me up."
Su Li looked at his worthless appearance and was really curious, "Do you like children that much?"
Zhou Jinbai shook his head. "Not really, because this child is the bond between you and me. Once he appears, the possibility of us being together increases. And since you gave birth to me, it's enough to prove that you have me in your heart."
Su Li was uneasy at his sticky eyes and looked away. "Who has you in their heart? You are just guessing."
Zhou Jinbai lowered his head and buried his face in her collarbone. "I'm used to you saying one thing and thinking another. Actually, you're pretty happy about the arrival of this little darling, right? Otherwise, you would have been causing trouble for me a long time ago."
Su Li snorted, "You sound like you know me very well?"
Zhou Jinbai lowered his eyes to look at her flat belly, feeling a bit restless. "My seed has sprouted in you, Litchi. It's magical, like a dream."
Su Li was indeed a little happy in her heart, but she was also really worried, as if she couldn't explain it to anyone.
Especially with his parents, if Zhou Jinbai really went to propose marriage, he would probably be humiliated again.
She really didn't dare let him go.
Su Li asked quietly, "What if my parents don't agree and don't let us be together?"
Zhou Jinbai said, "They will agree. If they don't agree, I will keep trying until they agree. I can't let my wife and children suffer."
Su Li turned around and hugged him, "Then wait a little longer. I'll make some preparations and do some ideological work for them first."
Su Li was reluctant to let Zhou Jinbai be scolded, but it seemed that he could not escape the scolding.
She asked Zhou Jinbai to eat first, but Zhou Jinbai told her to sit still and not move. "I'll do it myself, you take a rest, don't tire my precious wife out."
Su Li wanted to laugh, "Don't be too ridiculous, there's nothing tiring about this."
Zhou Jinbai stood up and went to the kitchen to get food. "It seems that you can't live here alone. I'll ask Butler Jiang to pick two trustworthy aunts from the Zhou residence to accompany you."
Su Li looked at his tall back and felt inexplicably pity in her heart. She stood up and accompanied him to the restaurant for dinner.
After Zhou Jinbai brought the food to the restaurant, he saw that she had barely touched the dishes she had cooked, so he pulled her over to feed her.
She didn't want to eat anymore. "I've already eaten."
Zhou Jinbai asked, "Didn't you eat because I didn't come back?"
Su Lizhen had already eaten, and only had a small bowl of rice. She was still worried about the diet after pregnancy.
Zhou Jinbai picked up some food and fed it to her. She had already brushed her teeth but refused to eat. "Just eat it."
Seeing that she really didn't want to eat, Zhou Jinbai didn't insist. He ate while saying, "I'll prepare gifts and go to your house to propose marriage in the next two days. I won't let you go, Litchi. Happiness must be fought for. If I don't fight for it, I'll be sorry that you've been with me for the past two years."
Su Li was a little touched and looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
In fact, she was the one who was retreating, but she was reluctant to part with him like that.
She had never met anyone who could tolerate her temper more than Zhou Jinbai. Even her parents would not bother to pay attention to her after being mad at her like this a few times.
But Zhou Jinbai has never really been angry. Is it true that older people get, the more stable their emotions are?
He is fifteen years older than her, and it seems that these fifteen years are a way for him to practice how to tolerate her.
After dinner, Zhou Jinbai washed the dishes and took a shower. Then he hugged her, comforted her, and said a lot of nice things.
It can be seen that he is really looking forward to this child. Men really like their own children.
He leaned against the headboard, Su Li sat on his lap. He held her slender fingers in one hand and said earnestly, "I've lived half my life, and I really don't feel that life is so hopeful. I used to have a very low desire to survive. I felt that life was really meaningless. It seemed that I had no use other than making money."
Su Li retorted, "Everyone wants to be rich, but you're not happy now that you have money."
Zhou Jinbai admitted, "When I was broke, I really thought money was the most important thing, and I was obsessed with making money. But later, when I had both money and fame and fortune, I felt like there was nothing in life that was particularly worth being happy about. My daily routine was just go to work, go home, go to work, go home."
Su Li didn't say anything. Zhou Jinbai whispered softly in her ear, "I've never had a relationship with a woman before. I'm used to seeing everyone's attitude towards relationships, and I think relationships are just that. After I became rich, the bosses around me all had wives at home, but they also had mistresses outside. Some even had more than one or two lovers. I think they're so boring."
Su Li was stunned. "Is it that exaggerated?"
Zhou Jinbai nodded. "Yes, even though I have a decent relationship with them, I actually despise their behavior from the bottom of my heart. Take Hou Jiangyong, for example. Isn't he rich? He has five-star hotel chains all over the country, but he also has mistresses all over the country, more than two."
Su Li, “…”
Zhou Jinbai said, "What do you think he's going on this business trip for? He's applied for over a dozen flight routes for his private jet, and helipads have been built in all major cities. They say it's for business trips, but in reality, it's to make it easier for him to see his lover."
Su Li asked, "His wife doesn't know?"
Zhou Jinbai smiled and replied, "What's the point of knowing? Just turn a blind eye. As they get older, their attitude towards marriage may change. Perhaps they've been together for too long and the passion they once had is long gone. And most men are the same, no matter who they date."
Su Li looked at his eyebrows and said, "What about you? Will you be like this in the future?"
Zhou Jinbai swore, "You are the only one in my life, I will sleep with you, no one else is worthy of sleeping with me."
Su Li chuckled, "You're quite narcissistic."
Zhou Jinbai said, "Narcissism is good. It means I love myself and won't cheat on my wife."
Who knows if he will, anyway, it’s the man who said it.
Su Li didn't say anything, but at the moment she liked Zhou Jinbai very much. Being with him was not so tiring. She often felt an inexplicable sense of security and relaxation when he was around.
When we first started dating, I would feel nervous because he was around and I felt restricted in everything I did. But now I’m used to it and feel that I can be my true self in front of him.
Su Li lay in his arms, playing with the thin straps on his nightgown. "It's okay, actually. If you do that again in the future, I'll take the child and leave by myself, leaving the father behind and keeping the child, so I don't have to worry."
Zhou Jinbai said, "No, that won't work. From now on, you two must take me with you wherever you go. You know I've been homeless since I was a child. From now on, where you and your child are, that will be my home."
He finally realized what was happening, his heart beating uncontrollably. "You promised to give birth to the baby? Thank you, honey. You're so kind. If my little Litchi can give me a little Litchi, I'll have nothing to ask for in this life."
Su Li felt him hold her tighter and smiled inexplicably, "If my parents don't agree, will you still insist?"
Zhou Jinbai held her and rocked her, "We have to get them to agree, no matter what the cost. In my heart, you are the most important."
Su Li looked up at him and said, "Uncle Zhou, you are so good at coaxing women, don't have illegitimate children running around in the future."
Zhou Jinbai was helpless. "How can there be an illegitimate child? I can't even take care of you. Is there any woman who makes me lose my composure more than you? You are so beautiful, so good at acting like a spoiled child, and you are especially good at biting people in bed. You hold my life in your hands, and you are still not at ease."
Su Li was worried, "You won't cheat on me while I'm pregnant, right?"
Zhou Jinbai placed her hand on his boxer briefs and let her feel it. "If you're worried, just castrate it. You won't need it in the future anyway."
Su Li pinched him and said, "Of course I don't need it. I need it."
Zhou Jinbai laughed out loud, "Use it, it's for you to use, it's yours exclusively."
Su Li was coaxed into happiness by him and began to hum a song in his arms.
Zhou Jinbai kissed her cheek and said, "If you are happy, I am happy too. I like seeing you happy. We will be parents in the future."
Su Li lay in his arms. After a while of happiness, she felt sleepy. She rested her head in his arms and slept peacefully.
Zhou Jinbai's heart rate had not slowed down yet, and he felt dazed as if he was dreaming.
What a wonderful thing it is that the woman he loves is pregnant with his child.
After being with Su Li for two years without any progress, he began to worry about this relationship, but then he got such a surprise.
Now even if Su Li wants to escape, she has to face reality.
After she fell asleep, he slowly placed her on the pillow, covered her with a blanket, and stared at her face for a long time.
According to the time calculation, she must have gotten pregnant that time at her house, because even though they had sex after that, he never inserted it.
Just that one time, in her house, he couldn't help but go in, just that one time.
He looked at Su Li for a long time, and the more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed. She had truly been cute since she was a child.
Every time he was with her, he really had no rationality at all.
Her good figure and pretty face are what every man dreams of.
As a man older than her, sometimes I really feel that he has made a fortune by having a girl like this become his woman.
She will soon become his wife, and he will soon have a happy home with her and their little baby.
Su Li was pregnant and didn't want to go out to attend the announcements, so she asked Zhou Jinbai to talk to Zhang Qingchi.
Zhou Jinbai seldom went to Zhang Qingchi's company. Although he held shares, he never asked about it. If Zhang Qingchi was willing to give him dividends, he would take them. If Zhang Qingchi was not willing to give him dividends, he would not take them.
For Su Li, I went to Zhang Qingchi's company. Zhang Qingchi asked him what Su Li was doing recently and why she hadn't come to work even though the promotion of Jingzhihua was finished.
Zhou Jinbai's eyes were cold and calm as he said something that made Zhang Qingchi collapse, "Take care of the baby."
Zhang Qingchi was stunned for a moment before reacting, his eyes widening instantly. He looked around and saw that the reception room was empty. He lowered his voice and asked Zhou Jinbai, "Are you crazy, or is she? Pregnant at this critical moment? Her career is just starting to pick up, and I want to strike while the iron is hot and make her more popular. Besides, you've been involved in a lot of scandals lately. Who is that woman?"
Zhou Jinbai asked, "What woman?"
Zhang Qingchi looked at his styled hair and then at his different state. "Just like the woman you dated at the mall."
Zhou Jinbai laughed, "What do you think?"
Zhang Qingchi asked softly, "Su Li?"
Zhou Jinbai asked in return, "Besides her, who else can I hold in my arms?"
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Zhang Qingchi gave him a thumbs-up. "You two are really bold. You really think no one knows you two. But what should we do now? How did she get pregnant?"
Zhou Jinbai looked at him coldly, "Are you doubting my ability?"
Zhang Qingchi, "..." His face was filled with worry, and he felt a little uncomfortable. "How could the sponsor and Canary do such a thing? They don't think about the consequences at all. Look at other big men who have mistresses, they all avoid getting pregnant."
Zhou Jinbai calmly lit a cigarette and said, "You also said that they are keeping a mistress. I am not keeping a mistress. I am in love with my wife. So naturally I want to have a child with her, a child that belongs to her and me."
Zhang Qingchi was furious. "You've ruined my cash cow. I've secured her several high-end brand endorsements and was even looking for the best scripts for her this year. Huang Sijing even wanted her to play the female lead in a movie, and now this has happened."
Zhou Jinbai didn't care. "Just give up. I can support my own wife."
Zhang Qingchi tutted his words, "It's true that Chairman Zhou doesn't lack money, but I do!"
Zhou Jinbai murmured, "Just wait till you get enough. Let Zhou Jinbai's wife help you make money personally. You're so arrogant."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Zhou Jinbai thought for a moment, "Doesn't she have another drama that hasn't aired yet?"
Zhang Qingchi said, "It's probably around the National Day holiday. If things don't go smoothly, it might be next year."
Zhou Jinbai nodded, "It's not that bad, it's only a year. After she gives birth to the baby, the fever won't go down, don't worry."
Zhang Qingchi was speechless. "Yeah, if it's revealed that she gave birth out of wedlock, her newly accumulated popularity will be gone."
Zhou Jinbai asked back, "Who told you you're unmarried? I'm going to get married in the next two days."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Okay, okay, it seems Zhou Jinbai is serious this time.
He was a little curious, "You married her, how are you going to explain it to your son? You and your son married the same woman? Explosive."
Zhou Jinbai spoke calmly, "He is him, I am me. He has never loved me, but I love him dearly. So what does it matter? It just makes him realize that what he doesn't cherish is what his father dreams of."
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Zhou Jinbai, "Teach him a lesson, lest he think he is the center of the universe."
Zhang Qingchi clapped his hands. "Good, well done! You're the real deal. You're amazing, Old Zhou. Lin Youqin is heartbroken. She keeps asking me if you and that girl have broken up. I told her the scandal was all over the Metropolis Evening News, so why would we break up?"
Zhou Jinbai said, "I can't break up with her. I'll haunt her forever."
Zhang Qingchi scoffed, "Love-sickness really knows no age limit. Where are her parents?"
Zhou Jinbai sighed, "I was just about to go to her house to get scolded."
Zhang Qingchi supported him morally, "Then keep going. I hope you can marry the person you want. Having a child in your old age is not easy for you. I remember you used to scoff at marriage."
He used to scoff at marriage because he hadn't met the person he wanted to marry.
He is now looking forward to marriage because the person he wants to spend his life with has appeared.
Although most of my life has passed, my romance will last until death.
He loves Su Li and wants to be with her forever.
Zhou Jinbai agreed, "I've been coaxing her for almost two years, and finally I succeeded. The feeling of having a wife is different from not having one. I used to feel that life was hopeless and boring, but now I feel that life is so hopeful. I have the energy to do anything, and my mood is so good."
Zhang Qingchi replied, "Of course. A harmonious and warm home can comfort you from the hard work of traveling. There are people to talk to when you go home, and people to ask about your well-being when you are away. That is definitely better than being alone."
Zhou Jinbai agreed with this, sighed, stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhang Qingchi asked, "Why don't you sit for a while? You rarely come to my place, and when you do, you always leave in a hurry."
Zhou Jinbai shook his head. "No, I have to go and take the scolding for my wife. I have to be polite when I get beaten. I don't know if the storm will be very fierce."
