Chapter 106 Even without a name or title, it's fine.
Lu Congyue already had an uncontrollable urge to get close to Zhuang Qingxiang, and after having tasted her, he found it even harder to control himself.
Now that they're kissing, all he can think about is marrying her and sleeping with her.
Morality was frantically pulling at his reason, and he felt a sense of self-abandonment.
If she really doesn't want to take responsibility, then so be it, he'll accept it!
I'll accept it even if they don't give me a formal title!
The moment this idea popped into my head, my reason crumbled like a burst dam.
In the midst of their struggle, Zhuang Qingxiang sensed something was wrong and frantically clung to him. Lu Congyue stared at her intently, as if he wanted to devour her, his voice low yet tender: "I want you, is that alright?"
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head in a panic, sensing something was about to happen: "I don't know... Lu Congyue, I'm scared..."
Large beads of sweat dripped down Lu Congyue's face, his blood vessels felt like they were about to burst.
He didn't know what she was afraid of. She had been married before and even had children. How could she seem more stupid than him?
"I don't know either, Xiang, teach me..."
He tried to coax and entice her, but to no avail.
Zhuang Qingxiang's clumsiness is driving people crazy.
Just then, the sound of a child crying came from inside the house. The noise wasn't loud, but Zhuang Qingxiang immediately snapped out of her daze and went back inside to check on the child.
Lu Congyue hugged her tightly, breathing heavily, feeling utterly defeated: "I've already given up on any status with you, are you trying to drive me to my death by dumping me now?"
Zhuang Qingxiang blushed deeply: "No, the children will all wake up if they start crying."
"Wait." Lu Congyue reluctantly put the person on the bed, the creaking sound making him even more awake.
Zhuang Qingxiang struggled even more fiercely: "No, it won't work."
"Okay."
"Lu Congyue..." Zhuang Qingxiang scratched him anxiously, "Yueyue will be woken up."
Five- or six-year-old children will run out to look for someone if they are woken up.
I can't even imagine what that scene would look like.
Zhuang Qingxiang was really anxious, so Lu Congyue could only swallow his anger and let her go. He also had to help her tidy up her clothes before sending her into the house.
The one crying is Xiao Chenglin; he probably had his leg pinched during the day and is feeling uneasy at night.
Zhuang Qingxiang quickly picked up the child and tried to soothe him, so as not to wake the other two children.
Looking up, I saw Lu Congyue leaning against the door frame, his clothes disheveled.
Zhuang Qingxiang's face flushed, and she avoided his gaze, whispering, "Go to sleep."
"I can't sleep," Lu Congyue said sullenly.
"Then I'm going to sleep with the child. Please close the door."
Lu Congyue raised an eyebrow: "Zhuang Qingxiang, you're... turning your back on me? I finally made up my mind to follow you without any official status, and now you're... going back on your word?"
Zhuang Qingxiang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop talking."
"Nonsense?" Lu Congyue took a step forward indignantly. "Zhuang Qingxiang, what do you mean? Let me tell you, even if we don't get a marriage certificate, you still have to give me an explanation. You can't go to anyone else, you can only come to me, understand?"
Zhuang Qingxiang had a headache; how did this topic get so far off track?
"When did I ever contact anyone else?"
"What do you mean, no? Jiang Weihai is still thinking about you! And that foreigner... he might be thinking about you too. You... you're still thinking about Yueyue's dad... you should at least give me a place..."
Lu Congyue felt increasingly wronged as he spoke.
He has kept himself pure for so many years, how did he end up falling into her hands?
Not only are they not given official recognition, but there are also so many competitors.
Lu Congyue's aggrieved look made Zhuang Qingxiang both annoyed and amused.
At your age, what are you doing?
"What nonsense are you spouting? What do I have to do with them? Stop messing around and go to sleep."
"Then tell me first, what am I to you?"
Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip, her face flushed, and said, "I only care about you, okay?"
Lu Congyue was appeased by those words and obediently went back to sleep.
I swear I'll never have another baby; three kids are already a real nuisance.
Yes, and this bed needs to be replaced.
When they woke up the next day, the two of them looked at each other and felt a sweet warmth in their hearts. Zhuang Qingxiang's usually fair face was even more rosy, which made Lu Congyue feel even more uncomfortable.
There's nothing I can do in front of the children, so I can only sneak a couple of bites in the kitchen.
"I'll change that bed tonight."
Before leaving for work, Lu Congyue whispered something in Zhuang Qingxiang's ear, making Zhuang Qingxiang's ears turn red.
Little Qian Yue saw this and couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Lu, what are you whispering to Mom? Yueyue wants to hear too!"
Zhuang Qingxiang blushed instantly and glared at Lu Congyue, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, go to work now."
Lu Congyue's heart raced as he watched, wishing he could take leave from work and stay home with her.
Zhuang Qingxiang felt his gaze and her heart skipped a beat as she looked away, quickly lowering her head and going inside to hide.
"Uncle Lu, what exactly did you say to my mother?" Little Qian Yue asked persistently.
Lu Congyue took the little girl's hand and walked out, saying casually, "Tell your mother what you want to eat tonight. What does Yueyue want to eat tonight? Think about it carefully. If you can figure it out when you get to kindergarten, Uncle Lu will grant your wish, okay?"
The voices gradually faded away, and Zhuang Qingxiang, with her face burning hot, took a while to calm down.
She had to help out at the cafeteria at noon, so she made the most of her time to continue embroidering the white cat.
Just as I was busy, Kong Yazhen arrived.
She knocked on the courtyard gate and walked straight in before Zhuang Qingxiang could speak, even giving Zhuang Qingxiang a generous greeting.
"Comrade Zhuang, are you busy?"
When Zhuang Qingxiang saw her, she was reminded of the bruises on her son's legs, and her expression turned sour. She said expressionlessly, "Comrade Kong, Director Lu is not at home. If you need anything, please go to the factory office to find him."
Kong Yazhen smiled and said, "I know, I came to see you."
As she spoke, she walked up to Zhuang Qingxiang, glanced at what she was holding, and asked with some surprise, "You embroidered this?"
"What do you want from me?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked bluntly, not intending to invite her in for tea; she didn't deserve it.
"What do you think?" Kong Yazhen smiled dismissively, not bothering to find a stool to sit down, but standing in front of Zhuang Qingxiang, looking down at her, "Tell me, what will it take for you to leave Cong Yue?"
Zhuang Qingxiang frowned.
"Your surname is Zhuang, but there's no need to pretend." Kong Yazhen scoffed. "A rural widow like you, using the opportunity of working as a nanny to seduce Brother Cong Yue, isn't it all for his factory manager status and money? Let me tell you the truth, there's absolutely no way you want to marry him, so I advise you to be sensible, take some money and leave. Tell me how much you want, and I'll give it to you."
Zhuang Qingxiang frowned even more, biting her lip and said, "You should go and talk to Director Lu. I have nothing to say to you."
"You're still pretending?!" Kong Yazhen's voice suddenly rose. "Greed is insatiable, Zhuang Qingxiang, I advise you to wake up!"
As she spoke, she took out an envelope and waved it around. "Here's two hundred yuan. Take this two hundred yuan and go home. Don't bother Brother Congyue anymore."
Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at the envelope and then lowered her eyes.
Two hundred yuan was a huge sum of money to her, and she was really tempted.
Compared to a fleeting, doomed romance, two hundred yuan is definitely more important.
But when she thought of Lu Congyue, who had been wronged and refused any recognition last night, she felt that two hundred yuan wasn't that important.
