"You left work early and packed lunch. Want to eat together?" His expression didn't seem to change, but his tone was clearly happy.
Su Ziqing had no idea what he was so happy about...
Is it satisfying to be associated with her and smear her after being reported on?
He inexplicably became the child's father, and it's not even certain that he is...
It has to be said that Su Enen was really ruthless this time. If she were still just a young lady of the Su family and not the head of the Su family, the Su family would be spitting at her to death.
But now, no one is above her anymore, and she doesn't need to care about anyone's opinion of her.
Moral blackmail is out of the question.
But not caring doesn't mean she's happy to be bullied like this by Su Enen. Thinking that Su Enen must be crying and begging for a doctor right now, Su Ziqing felt a little better.
"Okay." She wanted to eat something.
Su Ziqing was home alone. Her secretary had been sent to the branch office to pick up some things. Seeing this, Lu Linghong was a little unhappy that she didn't take him seriously. "How can you be alone?"
What's wrong with her being alone? She's not a baby...
"What if you suddenly faint again?" Lu Linghong felt this wouldn't do and seriously instructed her, "No, you have to promise me that you will never be alone with anyone again."
Su Ziqing went back to the kitchen to get chopsticks and brought out two bowls. "Hmm."
He thought she would argue back, but she agreed so readily that Lu Linghong had nothing to say.
He considerately placed some delicious and easily digestible food into Su Ziqing's bowl first, saying, "Try this."
Su Ziqing looked at him and teased, "You look more like a father than the child's father."
"The child will be mine from now on," Lu Linghong said with a smile.
Su Ziqing: "..." Does he really want to use this name?
This must have a significant impact on him in the future, right? Even if he gets divorced, he'll still have to be listed as a second marriage, and he has a child from his first marriage...
"Senior brother, do you want to reconsider this matter?" Su Ziqing felt that this was no small matter, well, no small matter for him.
He is different from her. She is all alone now, with no one to rely on, and no one she needs to care about.
He is the heir of the Lu family. Although he is the sole heir and doesn't have to compete for favor, shouldn't he at least care about his parents' thoughts?
Lu Linghong calmly ate the food in front of him. What he usually thought was pretty good tasted even more delicious now.
He looked at her calmly, feigning nonchalance. "What are you considering? Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?"
Su Ziqing thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head, "A little bit."
He reached out and touched her hair. "Why should I, a grown man, suffer any loss? Besides, do you have a better solution?"
Su Ziqing had been thinking about it all the way, but couldn't come up with a better solution.
"Su Enen is really not just annoying, she's incredibly annoying!" It's all her fault.
Lu Linghong was actually quite grateful to Su Enen for being such a troublemaker, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
“Since you’re sure you’ve thought this through, let’s discuss the details.” Su Ziqing looked at Lu Linghong earnestly.
"Say it, I'll do whatever you say." He can be a professional at being a henpecked husband!
Su Ziqing brought up her thoughts first, "Our marriage... two years, what do you think?"
"This is bad." Lu Linghong looked at her without saying a word.
“At that time, the baby was only about one year old and wouldn’t recognize people very well. We divorced because of incompatibility and marital breakdown. Besides, the short marriage period wouldn’t delay you from finding a real bride.”
"..." Lu Linghong finally hummed in agreement, "Okay."
So he's just sending someone along, right?
“We need to have our premarital property notarized.” Su Ziqing looked at him. “I don’t want to take advantage of your family.” Although she was wealthy, the Su family was still no match for the Lu family.
Not to mention that Lu Linghong is the sole heir.
Public assets should be public, and private assets should be private; it would be better to have clearer definitions of assets.
“I don’t mind,” he said casually. “Besides, I don’t have as much personal property as you.”
"Then just take it as me minding," Su Ziqing said with a smile, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Lu Linghong hummed in agreement. "Continue."
"The child... will take my surname, Su." After ending her relationship with Lu Linghong, she will no longer have any thoughts of marriage.
Lu Linghong listened indifferently. To be honest, Su Ziqing had thought of all the details very thoroughly, but she overlooked one problem...
"What's wrong?" he asked, implying that what she said was wrong.
"You're making me marry into your family; my family would kill me." He chuckled.
Su Ziqing paused for a moment, then smiled. "Yes, all the conditions are in my and the child's best interest. You're really at a disadvantage, so senior brother, you should think about it again."
"The child can take your surname, but we need to lie to the two elders and say that the second child will take my surname."
A second child... Su Ziqing had never even considered this possibility.
She didn't think much of it and just hummed in agreement, "But wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?" To be honest, lying like this puts a bit of pressure on her.
But the truth is that deception is the only way to go...
"Also, getting married isn't just about getting a marriage certificate; there has to be a wedding ceremony." She had just said she didn't want a wedding ceremony.
Good heavens, what is she thinking?
Su Ziqing looked at him and said, "The wedding is too complicated, and it's also..." too high-profile.
“If we get a marriage certificate but don’t have a wedding, people will think that our Lu family looks down on you, making you get married because you’re pregnant, but not giving you a wedding,” he said.
"We don't need to care too much about what others say, we..."
"Then what do you think Gong Chengjue will think? Can you hide it from him?" Lu Linghong interrupted Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing remained silent.
"To make something out of something real, everything has to be real, understand, Ziqing?" Lu Linghong said very seriously.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. "So what did you say to your family?"
"They...should be so happy to see you and the baby in your belly." It would be perfect if the child were his.
Su Ziqing blinked, "How could this be..."
"Why not?"
"Compared to your family, ours is nothing but a mud pit, and I'm no innocent little rabbit either. Besides, I... I have a simian crease..."
The Lu family probably wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like that, right?
“No matter who you are, as long as I approve of you, they will accept you.” Lu Linghong’s words dispelled Su Ziqing’s concerns.
Hearing this, Su Ziqing sighed softly, "If only... we had been together first." She wasn't against marriage, and he wasn't a staunch advocate of remaining single.
Lu Linghong is really, really likable.
However, if you miss the initial spark, all that's left is to be a brother.
Lu Linghong gave a slight twitch of his lips. "We can just be together from now on."
"Yes, you're right." Two years.
