Chapter 42: Chapter 42 After Fleeing, the Disabled Tycoon Stops Pretending 4
At the time, that’s what he said, but he did indeed harbor such thoughts.
He didn’t have children, and even felt that having a family was a burden. However, in order to silence the gossip and secure his inheritance from the Lu Group, he thought having a child to shut everyone up wasn’t a bad idea.
He sent people to find Su Zhiruan and, at that time, she was at her wit’s end, so she agreed. When Lu Peijin looked over the contract, he felt he was taking advantage of her vulnerability, but by then, there was no other way.
Su Zhiruan sat next to him, her toes curling slightly. Her calves were white and slender, the skirt was not long. She bowed her head, her ears and cheeks flushed red, her wet hair hanging down her back, resting on her shoulders. Yet she felt her temperature rising bit by bit.
Lu Peijin watched her lower her head with a reddened face, his Adam’s apple bobbling, and in a husky voice, he asked, “How old are you this year?”
“22,” Su Zhiruan, although not understanding why he would suddenly ask such a question, obediently answered. After speaking out, she remembered that Lu Peijin might be concerned she was underage, so she added, “I’m already of age, and I’ve brought my ID card.”
He had never seen someone bring their ID card at a time .
“No need to find it, I believe you.”
Lu Peijin held down her hand, pressing her onto the sofa in one smooth motion, and with one hand, he picked up the stem glass from the coffee table and tilted his head back to down a drink, displaying his sharp jawline, his prominent nose, his impeccable features.
“Since you’re here, let’s get started.”
The man, tall with long legs, half-knelt on the sofa, his knees sinking into it, his upper body leaning towards her, pinching her chin, his gaze deep as he examined her.
It was as if he was a wolf gazing at perfect prey!
He continued his movements, his well-defined large hand pressing down on her crossed hands, while the other hand leisurely unfastened the buttons of her skirt.
“Lu… Mr. Lu…” Su Zhiruan’s breathing quickened, she could feel her heartbeat speeding up.
His presence was simply too sharp, the innate edge of a superior revealed in full at this moment.
He was born an emblem of aristocracy, blending into the darkness, his expression unreadable, only his coolness perceivable.
Even doing this, he remained cool.
Su Zhiruan felt like a boiled shrimp, entirely crimson, curled up, unable to bear the weight, unable to stand the disturbance.
It was like a clear and cool spring, the babbling of a brook.
In the night, the sound of water gradually started, as if someone had turned on the shower.
“Mr. Lu… maybe… maybe we should go to the bed… ah…”
Lu Peijin turned a deaf ear, only focusing on what he was doing.
After one entire night, Su Zhiruan had only one thought—truly worthy of being a son of Heavenly Dao!
Whether it was Shen Qi from the last world or Lu Peijin from this one, in this respect, they were both extremely formidable.
The two, for an entire night.
Lu Peijin’s shower sounds filled the bathroom as Su Zhiruan fell into a deep sleep, only dimly aware that he was still around.
When she woke up the next day,
she finally understood what it meant to be run over by a truck!
The power of a child of Heavenly Dao was not to be underestimated!
Looking at the disheveled room, warmth rose on her face once again.
“Awake?” Lu Peijin entered, and saw her blankly wrapped in the duvet; he nodded, “There’s breakfast outside. You can leave after you eat.”
“Mr. Lu, about next time… Sometimes I might be busy, so if you have a set schedule that would be best…” Although a bit embarrassed, Su Zhiruan was indeed considering this issue. Their contract was mainly about having a child, but she couldn’t just be at his beck and call.
“Every day?” Lu Peijin had not considered this question. He looked at Su Zhiruan, “I have plenty of time. You can come over according to your schedule. As long as you’re not busy, just come over!”
“Ah?” Su Zhiruan’s eyes widened.
Come over whenever she was free…
“After the child is born, you take your grandmother and leave Jinghua,” Lu Peijin spoke as things came to his mind, “I won’t develop feelings for you, and I hope you will do the same. I don’t want to see you staying in Jinghua and clinging afterward.”
“Once the child is born, take the money and leave. We won’t have any relationship,” Lu Peijin said as he adjusted the collar of her clothes.
“I understand, Mr. Lu, rest assured,” Su Zhiruan agreed. The Childbirth System she was bound to only required her to give birth to the child of a being from another plane. After all, Lu Peijin just wanted to have a child with her, and she would happily take the money, which she couldn’t earn in a lifetime, to provide for her grandmother without forming any attachment. This arrangement suited her just fine.
“Don’t worry, I understand our relationship. I definitely won’t cling to you or the Lu Family. As long as you continue to have people save my grandmother, that’s enough,” Su Zhiruan was quite satisfied with this arrangement—she would complete her system’s mission, the child of the other plane would have its heir, and her grandmother would receive treatment and get better.
Lu Peijin nodded in satisfaction, and then settled back into his wheelchair, “Do you have plans for today?”
“I plan to visit my grandmother today,” Su Zhiruan said after taking a few bites, sharing her plans with Lu Peijin.
“Your grandmother, I’ve always had experts treating her, and her condition has improved greatly. It’s fine for you to visit,” Lu Peijin said as he opened the door. The secretary was standing just outside, waiting to push the wheelchair, “Let’s go.”
“Mr. Lu! But Miss Su…” The secretary noticed that he was leaving Su Zhiruan alone in the presidential suite.
From the clothing and the state of the room, it seemed that yesterday was the day they had consummated the relationship. The secretary sighed inwardly, still unsure why Lu Peijin would suddenly choose the poor Su Zhiruan.
After all, with his identity as heir of the Lu Family and CEO of the Lu Group, not to mention his breathtakingly cold and noble appearance, even if he announced he was disabled, numerous noble daughters would flock to him.
“She’ll leave on her own later,” Lu Peijin said as he stepped into the elevator, holding a tablet and looking at documents, “Head to the company first.”
“Yes, Mr. Lu!” The secretary pressed the elevator button and rode it down to the underground parking garage.
Su Zhiruan tidied up a bit, mainly the sofa, where yesterday’s antics had taken place. Anyone with eyes could tell what had happened.
By nine in the morning, she returned to her newly rented apartment and changed into clean clothes, a light-colored sweatshirt and light blue jeans.
She was still young, and with this outfit, she looked just like a college student. With a small backpack and the things she bought for her grandmother yesterday in hand, she headed to the hospital.
Lu Peijin had said he would have someone treat her grandmother, choosing the best private hospitals where the most top-notch doctors from the whole country, even the world, were gathered.
She took the elevator up.
