Chapter 62: Chapter 62 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 24
“It’s fine, I didn’t even notice myself this month, not a single reaction, don’t worry.” Su Zhiruan touched her own belly, still feeling amazed that a little angel had moved in. The months were too few to show a specific embryo, but just thinking of a soft and mushy child calmed her heart extraordinarily.
She didn’t even realize she was pregnant, which must all be thanks to the System Newbie Gift Package.
“Let’s head back first, I’ve hired a caretaker for you.” Lu Peijin was driving, he made sure Su Zhiruan was seated properly, today his driving speed was much reduced, and a lot steadier as well.
Back home, Su Zhiruan saw the two caretakers that had been hired.
Upon seeing Lu Peijin standing and helping Su Zhiruan out of the car, the two caretakers exchanged a stunned look.
This Mr. Lu — wasn’t he supposed to be in a wheelchair?!
Both bowed simultaneously, shouting in unison, and bowed again.
“Hello,” Su Zhiruan responded.
“Miss Su can come with us, we will analyze and decide the most suitable dietary and daily habits for you based on your diet and lifestyle.”
Lu Peijin watched reluctantly as they left.
After Su Zhiruan and the two caretakers went to discuss these issues, Lu Peijin opened the message from his secretary that he had glanced at earlier.
It was an email, not many words, but the content was shocking.
Old Master Lu himself had ordered, for Lu Ming and his illegitimate older brother, Lu Yan, to get out of the company, to leave Jinghua, never to return.
After reading the email, Lu Peijin did not feel schadenfreude, but was instead filled with dread.
Lu Yan was a man who smiled on the outside but stabbed you in the back, a very sinister person. Even he had to take some effort to dispose of him, whereas Lu Ming was purely an unintelligent bastard.
A part of the reason Lu Peijin feigned disability was to lower the guard of these illegitimate children, making it easier to deal a fatal blow directly.
Today, Lu Ming had kidnapped Su Zhiruan and brought her in front of Old Master Lu.
If Lu Yan had been the one to do this, it’s likely that his woman, and child, would have ended up in the Netherworld.
Thinking back on it, Lu Peijin felt a chill.
But what surprised him was, he hadn’t even made a move, and Old Master Lu had already decided to drive Lu Yan and Lu Ming out of Lu Group and the Lu Family, never to let them return to Jinghua.
Those old slick operators at Lu Group might disregard others’ words, but when Old Master Lu issued an order, nobody was unwilling to push the boat along and grant him this favor.
Just now, Lu Peijin had been tender with Su Zhiruan for a while, and that was enough time for Lu Yan and Lu Ming to have scurried away disgracefully.
He had long wanted to deal with these two men and had already prepared the means to strike in secret.
Yet, to his surprise, just as Su Zhiruan found out she was pregnant, Old Master Lu immediately announced to drive those two men out.
Afterwards, he would be the sole heir to Lu Group, the only one holding power.
She and the child, it seemed, could bring him good luck.
Thinking this, Lu Peijin’s gaze unconsciously shifted towards Su Zhiruan over yonder.
Her personality was pleasant, always smiling and very polite to everyone. It seemed that anyone who had met her, who had spent time with her, felt she was a good person.
Lu Peijin’s eyes and brows gradually softened.
Possibly, even he himself did not realize, now, at this very moment, his eyes looking at Su Zhiruan were filled with love.
Su Zhiruan and the two caretakers confirmed her daily schedule.
She had the System Newbie Gift Package, so her pregnancy was basically free from major suffering; she could also continue studying for her postgraduate entrance exam. During the day, the aunties would prepare things like fruit and snacks, and all three meals were prepared according to nutritional standards.
Quickly, five months passed.
After several prenatal check-ups, Su Zhiruan received yet another astonishing piece of news.
This time, she was expecting triplets!
A month ago, it was too early to tell, but as the babies in her belly grew bigger, a reexamination at her check-up revealed she was carrying triplets.
It wasn’t just Su Zhiruan who was surprised!
Lu Peijin, who accompanied her, was completely stunned.
He had not expected that she would be having three children at once!!
Such good fortune had never before occurred in the Lu Family.
Lu Peijin was over the moon with excitement.
He even wanted to have his secretary hire two more aunties on the spot to take care of her, but Su Zhiruan stopped him.
During this time, the two aunties who had been hired, as well as Su Zhiruan, witnessed all the changes in Lu Peijin.
“Mr. Lu, two aunties are already enough, the children are well-behaved, and the aunties are taking good care of them,” Su Zhiruan teased him, “A few days ago the aunties were shocked. They had thought that Lu Peijin, the president of Lu Group, was a strict, meticulous, cold, and indifferent person. Who would have thought he’d be like a child?”
“Were they short on things to be shocked about?” Lu Peijin caressed her belly, touching the children, then added, “A few days ago when I bought things for you, the eyes of the two aunties lit up. From the moment I showed up not in a wheelchair, I could tell they were itching to spread the gossip.”
Su Zhiruan had no complaints about the two aunties.
Lately, the two aunties didn’t know what kind of novel they were reading, but they started calling them “sir” and “madam” in every other sentence.
Their daily duty was to be astonished, much like bystanders in a novel.
Beyond that, the two aunties were highly empathetic; they chatted happily with her and cooked delicious meals.
Su Zhiruan watched her belly grow day by day, enjoying delicious food, and occasionally received gifts from Lu Peijin, making her life incredibly comfortable.
As for her grandmother, she hadn’t revealed the news to her yet and had reduced the number of times she went out. Her grandmother didn’t know about the pregnancy and thought she was on a business trip abroad.
Lately, Lu Peijin had taken to buying her all sorts of clothing and jewelry.
It was said that one day, he had someone privately book an entire season’s collection of clothing and jewelry. Outsiders speculated that Lu Peijin had found someone he liked, splurging for that person’s sake.
And in the end, all those things ended up in Su Zhiruan’s dressing room.
She sometimes felt helpless, patting her belly, indicating that she really couldn’t wear these now, but Lu Peijin wouldn’t listen and only thought about buying more for her every day.
This slightly troubled Su Zhiruan, but having such surprises each day was also nice.
As the months went by, spring turned to autumn, and she moved into her seventh month of pregnancy.
She was rather slim, so the triplets in her belly didn’t look very big; to the unknowing observer, it appeared as if she was carrying twins.
During this time, Lu Peijin, who was usually cold and ruthless, known to outsiders as a workaholic, a veritable work machine, even started leaving the office early sometimes, just to come home and see her sooner.
This unusual behavior sparked a lot of speculation and curiosity among people.
The private hospital had already prepared a private room, just waiting for her to give birth.
That day, the doorbell suddenly rang; Lu Peijin was feeding grapes to Su Zhiruan and went out to check upon hearing the sound.
Su Zhiruan grew curious and looked up as well.
Then, her gaze met with a familiar person—
