Chapter 113 Will she get pregnant?
As dawn broke, Zhuang Qingxiang was too tired to get up, but Xiao Qianyue woke up, and she had to get up to make breakfast.
Unexpectedly, during breakfast, Xiao Qianyue suddenly looked at Lu Congyue and asked, "Uncle Lu, did I see you in the house?"
The two guilty adults froze instantly.
However, adults are quick to fool children.
"Yes, Uncle went inside to get something, and Yueyue woke up just then."
Xiao Qianyue suddenly realized, "No wonder I remembered Uncle Lu was by the cabinet. I thought I was dreaming..."
The child was thus fooled. Zhuang Qingxiang finished her breakfast without tasting it, feeling as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at her, making her face burn.
After dinner, Lu Congyue eagerly took Xiao Qianyue to kindergarten.
Zhuang Qingxiang had just finished tidying up and was planning to embroider a few stitches while the two babies weren't crying when Lu Congyue returned.
As soon as I got back, I closed the courtyard gate.
Zhuang Qingxiang stared at him in shock.
Lu Congyue touched his nose: "I'm on duty tomorrow because it's the weekend, so I'm taking today off to spend more time at home with... the kids."
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded: "Then you go inside and keep the child company. I need to finish my work today."
If I work a little harder, I can finish embroidering it today and then give it to Mr. Ross.
Lu Congyue strode into the house. Zhuang Qingxiang listened for a moment and heard him playing with the child, so she focused on continuing her work.
A few minutes later, she heard Lu Congyue call her in to see what was wrong with the child.
Zhuang Qingxiang's heart tightened, and she dropped the embroidery hoop in her hand and hurried into the house.
As a result, nothing happened to the child, but Lu Congyue hugged her.
"I'm back now, and you still have the mind to embroider?" he complained.
Zhuang Qingxiang was speechless: "The item is for Mr. Ross. If he's satisfied, wouldn't that be helping you?"
"I already said who cares if he's satisfied or not..." Lu Congyue's lips pressed against her neck, kissing her while protesting, "I told you but you wouldn't listen, you insisted on doing that troublesome and hard-to-see thing, you've never embroidered it for me before."
"Lu Congyue, stop fooling around, you're over thirty..." Zhuang Qingxiang pushed his head helplessly, but couldn't budge it at all, and instead he pushed her towards the bed.
"You...stop fooling around..."
Lu Congyue looked up from his busy schedule: "You know I'm over thirty. You should be secretly happy that you got what you wanted last night."
Zhuang Qingxiang covered her eyes.
He is now a far cry from the Director Lu she knew when they first met; he's practically a scoundrel who turns the tables on everyone else.
Men who only start having sex in their thirties are like wolves; their mature bodies go limp the moment he touches them, like they have no bones, letting him tug and pull them around as he pleases.
Both of them were enjoying themselves and didn't want to leave each other. They lingered together for most of the day. Zhuang Qingxiang shed tears and her voice became hoarse. She couldn't do anything, not even breastfeeding. Lu Congyue was the one who made the baby formula.
Zhuang Qingxiang looked down at the teeth marks on her body and the mess in the room, glaring at Lu Congyue through gritted teeth.
Lu Congyue said honestly, "I was wrong, I'll clean up, you rest."
After tidying up, he got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), hugged Zhuang Qingxiang, and planned to take a nap.
Even then, his hands weren't still idle, caressing Zhuang Qingxiang's soft belly, and he suddenly chuckled softly: "What if she has another baby?"
Zhuang Qingxiang, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up with a start, her voice trembling: "What did you say? No!"
She had been so busy with Lu Congyue these past two days that she had completely forgotten about it.
No, I absolutely cannot get pregnant and have children!
Lu Congyue couldn't bear to see her so scared, so he pulled her into his arms and said, "What are you afraid of? If you get pregnant, just have the baby. It's not like I can't afford to raise it."
"Don't talk nonsense! What's the point of giving birth to it..." Zhuang Qingxiang's eyes reddened with fear. "Why didn't you remind me of this sooner? What are we going to do now?"
"Didn't I say that if you get pregnant, you'll have the baby? If you're willing, then get a marriage certificate with me and give me and the child a legitimate status. If you're not willing... then let him be an illegitimate child, and I'll continue to be your man who can't be seen in the light of day." Lu Congyue became more and more frustrated and aggrieved as he spoke.
How did Lu Congyue end up like this?
Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't bear to hear any of this.
She had only one thought: she absolutely did not want to get pregnant or have children.
She already has two children to raise.
No, that's not right, it's that they can't have children together!
Zhuang Qingxiang was so frightened by Lu Congyue's words that she was terrified that she was really pregnant with Lu Congyue's child.
Out of fear, she wouldn't allow Lu Congyue to touch her again.
When Lu Congyue saw how much she disliked him, his good mood instantly turned into a gloomy one.
But then someone still walked right into the line of fire.
Hearing the knocking on the courtyard gate, Lu Congyue roared angrily, "Who is it?"
"Congyue, it's me, Aunt Guan." Guan Jing's voice rang out from outside.
Lu Congyue frowned deeply, his tone extremely harsh: "I'm off today, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Congyue, your father is sick and hospitalized. We need to go back together tomorrow. Please open the door first, and we can discuss it," Guan Jing said patiently.
"I don't have time, you can go back by yourself," Lu Congyue said irritably.
There was silence outside the door for a few seconds, then the sounds of other people could be heard.
"Director Lu, why don't you open the door and have a proper discussion with... Comrade Guan? We're all family, why make things so tense?"
Lu Congyue's face darkened, and he quickly opened the courtyard gate.
Outside, besides Guan Jing, there were also two colleagues from the office and the union.
Lu Congyue knew that this was someone Guan Jing had specially invited.
Lu Congyue's gaze swept over the people in the factory, and he raised an eyebrow: "I didn't know that our factory's employees started taking orders from an outsider."
The two people in the office and the union looked embarrassed.
Guan Jing quickly said softly, "I asked these two comrades to come with me, so please don't take your anger out on them."
"Heh... You need someone to accompany you when you come to see me?" Lu Congyue said with a half-smile.
The union representative quickly said, "Director Lu, Comrade Guan said that due to some misunderstandings at home, his relationship with you has become a bit strained, and he asked us to come and act as peacemakers..."
Lu Congyue's eyes narrowed: "My family matters are none of the factory people's business!"
A blunt remark made the union members blush with embarrassment.
Guan Jing then said, "Alright, alright, let's not involve the other comrades in our family matters. Thank you both for coming with me. My son has a bit of a temper, please don't mind him. Go back now, I'll talk to him about the rest."
The two men couldn't wait to leave; if they didn't, Director Lu's gaze could kill them.
As soon as the others left, Guan Jing's gentle and serene demeanor vanished, replaced by a frown as she demanded, "Why are you keeping the front door closed in broad daylight?"
As she spoke, she craned her neck to peer inside, "Is the nanny in there too? What are you two doing?"
Lu Congyue scoffed, "It's none of your business."
Guan Jing's expression changed slightly. She took a deep breath and scolded in a low voice, "Lu Congyue, can't you use your brain? If you want to get married, you can find anyone you want. Why are you getting entangled with a rural widow?!"
