Chapter 609: Dodder Rich Girl (16)
"No, Zhu Ximo has never let me down. You misunderstood, Dad." Lu Shichu quickly explained, "I just don't want to get married. And, Dad, if I don't get married, then the child I give birth to will only belong to our Lu family, right? When the time comes, let the child inherit our family, and there is no need to worry about the property being embezzled by the son-in-law. How great is that."
"But if you don't get married, won't the child be illegitimate?" Father Lu couldn't understand her thoughts.
"In a family like ours, what does an illegitimate child matter? And he will be the only child in our Lu family. Who can look down on him?" Lu Shichu said as a matter of course.
"But don't you have a good relationship with Zhu Ximo? Why don't you want to marry him?" Father Lu was really confused.
Lu Shichu smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, I have a good relationship with him now, but who knows how long this relationship can last? One year, two years, five years or ten years? I might get tired of him someday and fall in love with someone else. If we get married, it will be much more troublesome for us to balance our respective interests. But if we don't get married, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"
When Father Lu heard her words, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground. He had no idea that his obedient baby daughter would have such thoughts. He was so shocked that he opened and closed his mouth several times but couldn't say a word. Finally, he found his voice: "My dear daughter, how come Dad doesn't know that you are quite a scumbag?"
After saying this, his eyes were somewhat complicated. When did his good daughter become like this? Why did she suddenly become a scumbag? But it was good to have such thoughts. After all, it was better to scum others than to be scumbed by others.
So his daughter's father, Lu Shichu, quickly accepted Lu Shichu's statement, thinking that she didn't want to get married, firstly to avoid her son-in-law coveting Lu's family property, and secondly to make it easier to get rid of Zhu Ximo if she got tired of the old one in the future.
Although he felt that doing so was a bit unfair to Zhu Ximo, he would certainly stand on the side of his daughter compared to an outsider, Father Lu thought righteously.
After the pregnancy was exposed, Lu Shichu had no worries anymore. Her father hired a nutritionist for her and started looking for a confinement nanny and babysitter early on. He was more proactive than Lu Shichu's biological mother.
"My dear daughter, isn't your belly a little too big, abnormally so?" Dad Lu had recently been catching up on a lot of pregnancy knowledge, and finally realized that Lu Shichu's belly shouldn't be this big when she was five months pregnant.
Lu Shichu looked at him blankly: "I'm pregnant with twins, Dad, didn't I tell you?"
Father Lu's face darkened: "No! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing? Do I have to wait until you give birth before I know you are pregnant with two?"
"Dad, don't be angry. Do you love me less just because you have a grandson?" Lu Shichu said coquettishly.
When Mr. Lu heard this, he apologized immediately. His anger had long since disappeared. "No, no, Dad was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you so loudly. Twins are good. We have a small Lu family, so more children means more fun."
Lu Shichu smiled: "I think so too. When there are two children in the family, they will call you grandpa. No, since you have the same last name as us, Lu, then you are grandpa!"
Father Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I am their grandfather."
So Mr. Lu became more proactive. After get off work every day, he would happily prepare clothes and socks for the children in advance, and even various toys and enlightenment books. In the end, the baby products at home were more complete than those in a maternity and baby store.
Lu Shichu was happy that he didn't have to prepare these things himself, since his father Lu was happy to do it anyway.
Just as the father and daughter were happily waiting for the birth of the twins, Zhu Ximo, who had been forgotten by them, finally came back from abroad. An accident had occurred during his work abroad and it took another month to finish.
Over the past few months, he and Lu Shichu had less and less contact. In the first month, Lu Shichu would patiently call him every day to chat, but then he gradually lost his patience and often hung up on him in the last month. Zhu Ximo was anxious and wanted to fly back to China to find Lu Shichu immediately, but he had to work and could not be willful, so he had to endure it.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhu Ximo neither went home nor went to the company, but came to Lu's house to find Lu Shichu. He suspected that if he didn't come to find her, this relationship would soon end, but he didn't want it to end.
Because he had been to the Lu family before, Zhu Ximo's car easily entered the Lu family's villa complex.
Zhu Ximo was very excited at the thought of seeing his girlfriend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but he was also a little nervous. After all, he hadn't been back for so long, what if his girlfriend fell in love with someone else?
He entered the Lu family's house smoothly, and Lu Shichu happened to be playing with his mobile phone in the living room.
"Chu Chu! I'm back." Zhu Ximo greeted Lu Shichu with a gift in his hand, "I brought you a gift, see if you like it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw her belly, which looked huge even when she was sitting.
He looked at her big belly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your belly?"
"You're having a child." When Lu Shichu saw it was him, he chuckled and said.
Zhu Ximo's mind went blank instantly and he couldn't understand what she meant at all.
It took a while for my brain cells to continue working. I realized what she meant. I was suddenly surprised and happy: "You are pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?"
The gift in his hand fell to the ground, but he was no longer aware of it. He felt as if he was standing on misty white clouds, which was very unreal. The huge surprise made him at a loss.
He walked to Lu Shichu absentmindedly, reached out his hand and touched her belly, and asked Lu Shichu excitedly and curiously: "Is this... my child?"
"Of course it's yours, but if you don't want it, then my Lu family will just raise it." Lu Shichu said calmly.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Of course I want a child." Zhu Ximo finally regained some of his sanity. After his smart brain started working, he realized that something was wrong. "Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?"
Lu Shichu's eyes wandered for a moment, and he said, "You are so busy at work, there is no need to tell you and make you worry."
"How can this be a worry? How can work be more important than children? If I knew you were pregnant, I would definitely come back the first time and would never let you endure the hardship of pregnancy alone." Zhu Ximo said disapprovingly.
"Let's get the marriage certificate before the baby is born," Zhu Ximo suggested again.
"No, I don't plan to marry you." Lu Shichu quickly refused.
Zhu Ximo didn't expect her to refuse, and asked in astonishment: "Why? We even have a child, and our relationship is pretty good, why don't we get married?"
