Chapter 45: Chapter 45 After Fleeing, the Disabled Tycoon Stops Pretending 7
The reflections of two overlapping figures on the sofa were cast on the floor-to-ceiling window.
Perhaps it was because the air conditioning was set too high, or perhaps because Lu Peijin was pressing down too hard, Su Zhiruan could distinctly feel the rising heat steaming up.
Outside the bright and spacious floor-to-ceiling window, neon lights shone on the bustling traffic, while inside the 28th-floor hotel room, flowers trembled chaotically amidst the storm.
The battlefield gradually shifted, starting from the sofa and eventually moving to the bedroom.
The sound slowly diminished, becoming softer.
By the time Lu Peijin finished his bath and came out, he saw that she had fallen asleep, exhausted.
Su Zhiruan didn’t know why he had suddenly gone mad. The original host had never had a boyfriend, and it was only last night that she did it for the first time.
As a child of another dimension, her physical constitution naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people, but her current body was just that of an average young girl. After such activities, she would feel utterly exhausted, too tired to even lift a finger.
It was her first time last night, and yet today he was so ruthless, going five or six times in one night. She wept softly while internally complaining about Lu Peijin, who seemed to have too much energy with no outlet.
“Asleep?” Lu Peijin walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and approached Su Zhiruan to check on her, finding that she was indeed asleep.
He also knew that he had been too angry today, but he didn’t even understand why.
Lu Peijin let out a deep sigh, lifted her from the bed, and prepared to help her wash up as well.
But at that moment, he saw the girl’s eyelids flutter slightly, and then slowly open.
“Did I wake you?” Lu Peijin didn’t stop his movements. After lifting her up, he walked straight to the bathroom. The bathtub had just been cleaned by him, and he had filled it with warm water, “If you’re awake, take a bath first, and then go back to sleep.”
“Mr. Lu doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today,” Su Zhiruan propped herself on the edge of the bathtub, tilting her head to ask.
Lu Peijin: “Not at all.”
“Is it because you saw me with another man at the mall today?” Su Zhiruan felt it was unlikely, but asking in such a way usually prompted the other person to reveal the truth.
But Lu Peijin was an exception. He showed no expression and just gave her a glance that seemed to suggest she was out of her mind to even consider that possibility.
Su Zhiruan also found a way to save face, continuing with her previous statement with a smile, “Just joking. I know that we have a contractual relationship. I also met that senior for the first time today; he’s the son of Sister Zhang who works with me as a hotel attendant. She wanted to set us up; today was our first meeting.”
“That’s your private life; it has nothing to do with me,” Lu Peijin took the remote control for the air conditioner from outside the bathroom, raised the temperature a bit, and opened a small gap in the window. The room had been completely sealed off during their intense activity, airtight, and combined with the heat from the bathroom water, the entire room was warm and cozy. Su Zhiruan heard him continue, “But during the contract period, I still hope you will abide by the terms and refrain from being involved with other men, and it’s best to limit conversation and meetings with them as well.”
“Understood, Mr. Lu,” Su Zhiruan obediently answered, with a rough guess in her heart. The woman with a refined aura that Lu Peijin was with today might be his girlfriend or fiancée, “Was Mr. Lu out shopping with his girlfriend today?”
“Girlfriend?” Lu Peijin frowned and thought for a moment, “No, you don’t need to worry about that, nor do you need to know. Just fulfill the contract.”
His tone was still cold.
Originally, Su Zhiruan felt relieved that he was not in the mood to continue today and was grateful she could get a good night’s sleep. However, much to her surprise, she had just stepped out of the bathtub and donned a bathrobe when the man leaning against the door suddenly caught her arm. She lost her balance and toppled forward, and Lu Peijin, forgetting to react in time, was pulled down with her.
Almost in an instant, she immediately felt the changes in the body of the son of this plane beneath her.
She stiffened suddenly.
It seemed she wouldn’t need to eat breakfast tomorrow morning either!
Soon, another storm broke out.
In the end, only the flowers, after being battered by the wind and rain, silently slept in the soil.
Su Zhiruan got up with a sore back and waist, Lu Peijin had left at some unknown time, and breakfast was on the table, covered with a thermal lid.
She glanced at the time; it was still early, and she had an hour before work, plenty of time to eat something before leaving.
After a simple breakfast, she tidied the bed and changed into her waitress outfit, ready to go to work.
However, the moment Su Zhiruan opened the door, she found someone standing at the doorway.
It was none other than the girl who had been with Lu Peijin at the mall yesterday during the day!
When Gu Baicha saw that it was her coming out of the door, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
“You! You’re actually in Ajing’s room?!” Gu Baicha immediately became displeased, and as she stepped forward to slap Su Zhiruan, the latter dodged, and Gu’s face grew darker. Even her voice became much harsher, “Well, well! What a vixen! I caught you at last. I thought there was something off about you yesterday, Gu Baicha, and even then you claimed to be a waitress at Ajing’s hotel! I hadn’t realized this was your plan! Today I’m not going to let you off, you vixen!!”
After she spoke, she tried to move forward to grab Su Zhiruan’s hair and beat her.
“Miss Gu, if I were you, I would choose to calm down first in this kind of situation,” Su Zhiruan said with a deep sigh, looking at this young girl, her heart filled with a deep sigh. The son of this plane was indeed the favorite of the Heavenly Dao, and it was no wonder that he was surrounded by so many admirers. If this had been ancient times, her harem would probably have been bursting at the seams. She and Lu Peijin had no other relationship beyond the contract to have a child, and certainly, that contract couldn’t be divulged, so she had no choice but to say something else to deceive the somewhat naive young mistress before her.
Su Zhiruan sighed deeply and gradually, a look of desolation appeared on her face, “My family is poor, my parents died when I was young, and aside from my grandmother, I have no other relatives. After graduating from university, my grandmother fell seriously ill and is currently being treated in the hospital. I came here to work as a waitress. If I had any thoughts of climbing up the tree to become a Phoenix, do you think that my family status could catch the eye of the Lu Family?”
Gu Baicha, who had initially wanted to grab her hair and fight, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She hadn’t expected that in the face of such a situation, this woman would start talking about her family background.
And it seemed… quite pitiful, actually…
“I have no family background or relatives to take care of me; my only thought is to earn some money to cure my grandmother and then move to a small town to live with her. I never aspired to marry into a wealthy family; I just want to live a simple and quiet life.”
That was indeed Su Zhiruan’s genuine wish.
In her previous world, although she never said it, Shen Qi, who loved her so dearly, had long seen through her heart’s desires, which was why he gave his position to their child and went with her to travel and enjoy the world.
