Chapter 49: Chapter 49 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 11

Su Zhiruan decisively shook her head, her eyes sincere and her tone firm, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lu, when the time comes, I definitely won’t cling to you or the Lu Family. You can be assured of that.”

“…After the child is born, you’ll never be able to see them again. Won’t you be unable to let go?” Lu Peijin’s words took a turn in his mouth, and even he didn’t know what he really wanted to ask, whether she would miss the child or someone else.

“But there’s no child yet.” It was only at this moment that Su Zhiruan felt curious, noting that today Lu Peijin seemed a bit unlike his usual self, appearing to be probing. She didn’t see any harm in continuing the subject, so she answered, “If the child would only suffer with me, then I’d rather they receive a good education with the Lu Family. The Lu Family can offer them much more than I can.”

“You’re very smart.”

Lu Peijin complimented her, but for some reason, Su Zhiruan didn’t find his current expression very pleasant.

She pondered for a moment, feeling a sense of familiarity.

When she looked at him again, she suddenly recalled Shen Qi’s demeanor in the previous world, especially Lu Peijin’s current expression, which was strikingly similar, identical in fact.

Upon closer reflection, in the previous world, when Shen Qi showed this expression, it usually meant he felt she didn’t love him anymore, and then his eyes would cloud with confusion and grievance, waiting for her to coddle him…

Looking again at Lu Peijin, Su Zhiruan found that he seemed to be wearing that expression indeed, yet she immediately shook her head, dismissing the thought.

It’s hardly possible, right…

They were currently in a contractual relationship, the kind without true feelings. She must have seen it wrong.

But today, Lu Peijin had been bringing up the child repeatedly. Could it be that he felt things were moving too slowly and wanted to hasten the process of having a child?

Conveniently, that was exactly what she desired too—to bear a child for Lu Peijin as soon as possible so that she could take care of her grandmother and take her to enjoy the scenery and relax.

Since they wanted a child…

She couldn’t let him take the initiative every time; she had to do her part as well.

Thinking this, she mentally cheered herself on, then reached out to wrap her arms around the man and moved in slowly, whispering softly, “Mr. Lu, if we’re going to have a child, then we can’t slow down our pace…”

Her fingertips were delicate, yet there were some calluses at the base of her fingers from long periods of part-time work to earn money for her grandmother’s medicine— a mix of soft and itching sensations.

Although Lu Peijin was no longer a green youth, before the age of 27, he had never tasted this kind of flavor. It took him only a moment to become rigid again, just as Su Zhiruan had anticipated.

His voice was hoarse as he warned, “You’re courting death.”

She leaned in closer with a smile and said, “How to die, how to live… teach me, Mr. Lu…” Her hand gradually moved downward.

A battle was about to erupt.

The room began to heat up again.

During the process, as Su Zhiruan watched the shaking ceiling, she suddenly agreed with what Lu Peijin had said earlier—she really was courting death.

Throughout the ordeal, aside from being proactive for three minutes at the beginning, she spent the following fifty-seven minutes shedding tears of regret on her pillow.

Actually, taking things step by step can be quite nice sometimes.

She hadn’t expected to comprehend such a life lesson in this kind of situation.

…

The two of them carried on recklessly, perhaps Su Zhiruan’s initiative today giving Lu Peijin an extra boost, and they kept at it until one-thirty in the morning.

“You didn’t have dinner yesterday; you must be hungry by now. How about going downstairs to eat something?” Lu Peijin asked her softly.

By this time, Su Zhiruan had long since fallen asleep, unable to hear anything.

She could vaguely sense someone calling her, but she was completely drained by that point, unable even to lift a finger.

Lu Peijin cleaned her up a bit, originally wanting to cook some porridge, but seeing her so exhausted, he dismissed the idea, turned off the light, covered her with a blanket, set the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, and then left the room.

The next morning, Su Zhiruan woke up to the sunlight slightly dazzling her eyes.

They had made love in front of the floor-to-ceiling window the day before, and they hadn’t drawn the curtains.

She got dressed, walked downstairs, and circled around but didn’t find Lu Peijin anywhere in the vast villa. There were no other people, and the air was filled with a warm, grassy fragrance, creating an atmosphere that made one long for a return to slumber.

She didn’t continue to wander aimlessly, spotting a rocking chair by the door, she lay down on it with her phone in hand.

Having been through too much the day before, she decided to take a day off to rest, and while at it, to calculate her finances in preparation to quit her hotel job.

After the birth of the child, Lu Peijin would give her twenty million, plus the one million he had given her earlier.

She had spent thirty thousand, to rent a place for half a year, daily expenses, and to buy things for her grandmother. The rest of the money was untouched on the card, which she had no plans to use further and wouldn’t take with her when she left.

Having worked as a waitress at the hotel for nearly two months, she had earned sixty thousand. As a high-end waitress selected after many rounds, and given that the Lu Family’s hotel was the best in Jinghua, the job was strenuous and exhausting but paid a salary beyond the reach of most people.

She could take five million out of the twenty million to buy a nice sunlit apartment in a small city for her and her grandmother, as well as a car, and to open a small bookstore. Even if she stopped working and was to live off her savings alone, she would not run out of money.

As for the hotel job, she planned to submit her resignation after getting up in the afternoon.

If she worked during the day and then was spent by Lu Peijin at night, even an iron person could not withstand such pressure!

Quitting the hotel job sooner rather than later, fulfilling the contract as soon as possible, completing the system tasks, she would then be able to gain her freedom sooner.

Soon, she wrote a resignation letter, ready to print it out in the afternoon and resign from the hotel.

Lu Peijin didn’t return by noon and only sent her a message on WeChat.

[There is some food in the fridge, or you can ask the maid to cook.]

Su Zhiruan replied, [No need, I’ll just grab something simple.]

Lu Peijin replied, [I’m actually at the restaurant, I’ll have some food sent over to you, eat and then get some more sleep.]

[Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu.]

Twenty minutes later.

The doorbell outside the villa rang, and Su Zhiruan, putting on a coat, walked to the door.

Outside stood a young man holding an oversized box, who greeted her politely as she appeared, “Hello miss, this is the food Mr. Lu ordered for you, enjoy your meal!”

“Alright, bring it in,” Su Zhiruan allowed him to set it down in the entryway, casting curious glances at it.

“Enjoy your meal!” the young man repeated with enthusiasm, bowing before departing.

Su Zhiruan moved the large box to the dining table. The meal boxes were exquisitely packaged, bearing a logo she recognized from a pricey and difficult-to-book private kitchen—a place the average person couldn’t even enter without a ticket.

The dishes inside were also beautifully packaged, and they tasted excellent; she ate quite a lot.

After cleaning up the trash, she took a nap and then prepared to go to the hotel to hand in her resignation.
