"Do you think I wouldn't know if the child is mine?" Lu Linghong was very disappointed in his sister.
“You’ve become quite close to Su Enen, and your personality is starting to resemble hers.” Lu Linghong looked at Madam Lu. “Mom, didn’t I tell you to keep Beibei away from Su Enen?”
“Beibei hasn’t been playing with Enen lately either…” Mrs. Lu explained to her daughter.
Fearing that her daughter and future daughter-in-law might create a bad impression, Mrs. Lu quickly pulled her daughter upstairs, but...
"I've never heard you mention dating anyone before, big brother," Lu Beibei said. "And..."
"What else? Go upstairs and change your clothes!!" Lu Linghong adopted an elder brother's tone, as if he would lose his temper if Lu Beibei said anything unpleasant.
Su Ziqing felt that this was not a good idea. She had never intended for the Lu family to be upset because of her.
If she really liked Lu Linghong and got pregnant with his child, that would be a different story, but things are completely different now.
Lu Beibei was targeting her, but Su Ziqing actually thought Lu Beibei's rational questioning was correct.
This marriage... we still need to think about it more carefully.
Su Ziqing said gently, "It's getting late, I'll head back now." They were supposed to discuss the wedding details, but thankfully they hadn't yet.
Seeing Su Ziqing's expression, Lu Linghong knew she was about to back down. "Ziqing..."
Although Su Ziqing was pretending to be well-behaved here, she didn't want to change her mind. She politely said goodbye to the Lu family and then looked at Lu Linghong, "Send me home first?"
Lu Linghong had no choice but to nod and glare at Lu Beibei, who had ruined everything.
Her brother's wedding was ruined!
So what if he's happy to be a father?
Once in the car, Lu Linghong apologized very seriously, "My sister has always been spoiled since she was little, and she's been close to Su Enen. I guess she's been led astray by her."
Su Ziqing just smiled faintly, "Su Enen will definitely not say anything good about me, but your sister is also a rational person."
"Ziqing!"
"Senior brother, it seems that our marriage is still not feasible." It's unreliable.
Putting aside Lu Beibei, just considering the attitude of the two elders of the Lu family, she couldn't bear to deceive them. How heartbroken she would be if they found out later that the child in her belly had nothing to do with the Lu family.
"Ziqing?" Why is it not feasible again? Lu Linghong's heart sank, but he continued to persuade, "I'll take care of my sister..."
"Senior brother, how can you bear to lie to your parents? They... are so looking forward to it." Lying like this will hurt your conscience.
Lu Linghong grabbed her hand and said seriously, "I will explain it to my parents later. Besides, didn't we say we would keep this secret for life?"
He will not let Gong Chengjue know that the child is his, nor will he let the child know that his biological father is Gong Chengjue.
There will be no interaction between them and the Gong family.
Su Ziqing shook her head. "Your sister obviously doesn't like me." She's not money; not everyone likes her.
"She was just influenced by Su Enen..."
"Alright, senior brother, let's discuss this again later." She was tired now.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Lu Linghong felt emotionally he should agree to her pausing, but rationally he couldn't. "What do you plan to do with the child?"
Su Ziqing's head is also hurting a lot right now.
She was so regretful for getting involved with Gong Chengjue. If he were an ordinary man, so what if she was pregnant? Could he compete with her for the child? They wouldn't even have a chance to meet!
Now……
She only hoped that Gong Chengjue wouldn't suspect anything, and probably wouldn't. Even if he did investigate, the child would only be one month old, and they had been broken up for more than two months.
"Can we talk about it later? My head is a little throbbing." Su Ziqing looked at Lu Linghong pleadingly, hoping he wouldn't pressure her now.
Lu Linghong couldn't bear to see her sad, so he earnestly suggested, "Ziqing, there's no better person than me, and I'll love the baby very much, treating him like my own. If you mind, we can just have this one child..."
After saying this, Lu Linghong realized he had acted impulsively. His feelings, which he had kept well hidden, were now completely exposed.
Su Ziqing stared at him blankly, "Senior brother..."
Is this his only child? Is he stupid? This child isn't his.
Wait, does my senior brother... like her?
"Are you crazy?" She still felt that friendship was more suitable for them than romantic love.
Lu Linghong wanted to speak, but then he heard Su Ziqing say, "If we could click, would we have waited until now? Okay, I know you care about me, but we both need to be rational, okay?"
Some things are better left unsaid; if you do, the relationship might be over.
Lu Linghong raised his hand and patted her head. "I'm a staunch advocate of being single. I'll do my own thing from now on, and your identity can help me out for a while."
"Dream on." Su Ziqing slapped his hand away. "I'm so sleepy. I'll just take a nap in your car. Wake me up when we get there."
Soft music was played in the car, and Su Ziqing's mind calmed down. She muttered, "Who invented marriage anyway? It's so annoying."
Lu Linghong escorted Su Ziqing home—basically, he took her all the way home—but neither of them expected that there would be another person there when they arrived at Su Ziqing's house…
"Gong Chengjue?" Lu Linghong narrowed his eyes. "How did you get here?" Then he looked at Su Ziqing, as if asking how Gong Chengjue was able to get in.
Gong Chengjue lived here before. As for the door code, Su Ziqing never changed it. She's someone who doesn't even use her phone after breaking up and doesn't send WeChat messages anymore. Why would she come to the door?
Besides, she's busy and spends most of her time in City A, so she wouldn't bother changing her password. Therefore, it's not surprising that Gong Chengjue was able to get in.
Gong Chengjue remained silent, habitually ignoring Lu Linghong.
He only had eyes for Su Ziqing at that moment. They had actually met that morning, and it had only been about twelve hours since they parted. But it felt like a very long time since they had last seen each other.
"Hey, Gong Chengjue, you've trespassed on a private residence. We can call the police to arrest you!" Lu Linghong immediately shielded Su Ziqing behind him, not letting Gong Chengjue even glance at her.
"Whatever, report it," Gong Chengjue said indifferently.
Seeing Gong Chengjue's attitude, Lu Linghong was furious. "Mr. Gong is as self-centered as ever. Well, your Gong family is a noble clan, and no one can usually touch you."
"Lu Linghong." Gong Chengjue had no mood to chat with Lu Linghong. The thought of Su Ziqing being pregnant, and that the child might have been conceived because she was drunk and Lu Linghong had... made him want to kill Lu Linghong.
That bastard, how dare he touch his Ziqing!
"Get lost." He just wanted to ask Su Ziqing what was going on.
"You're the one who should get lost." Su Ziqing said coldly, put down her bag, calmly changed into slippers, and walked past Lu Linghong toward the sofa in the living room.
