Pampered By All In Different Planes

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 10

“You can pick any room on the second floor,” Lu Peijin stood up and casually pointed her in the direction, but after he finished speaking, watching Su Zhiruan’s figure, he suddenly felt something was off and called out to her, “Never mind, wait a moment.”

Su Zhiruan stopped in her tracks, unsure what he was about to do, and asked, “Mr. Lu?”

Lu Peijin, with his long legs, took three steps in two and climbed the stairs, standing three steps below her yet able to look her in the eye. He added slowly, “It seems there’s no need to pick, my master bedroom is just on your right.”

Su Zhiruan: “…Mr. Lu, you wouldn’t want me overhearing you dealing with documents or anything private.”

Her words were light, but Lu Peijin slightly curved his lips, although it was just for a moment, Su Zhiruan still caught it—this man was exceptionally handsome, and his smile was even more stunning.

“Then pick a room yourself, the entire second floor is available.” Lu Peijin walked a few more steps, reaching the top of the stairs before her, and casually pushed open the doors on both sides, “These two are not bad, just close to the staircase.”

Su Zhiruan didn’t go any further down, instead choosing the smaller room on the left that had sunlight.

“Have you had dinner yet?” Lu Peijin watched her start to settle in, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed as he asked.

Su Zhiruan shook her head, her gaze clear as she looked at him, “No, consider it dieting,”

“Whether the body is fat or thin, health is the most beautiful,” Lu Peijin stood up and said to her but the next second, his gaze slowly fell on her, “You should still eat more.”

Su Zhiruan: “…”

Even though Lu Peijin was a stern, ruthless man in public, known for his decisive actions, perhaps only she knew that in private, he was just an unrestrained, energetic ordinary man.

Thinking about the previous exhausting nights, she involuntarily took a step back.

Lu Peijin’s gaze grew increasingly intense, and it’s unclear what he was thinking about, but those usually cold, indifferent eyes today held a hint of interest.

Seeing Su Zhiruan step back, he slowly moved forward a step, commenting on the room, “This room is a bit small, but the layout and lighting are quite nice, I could have someone bring you some green plants.”

“No, there’s no need, Mr. Lu.” Su Zhiruan’s smile was somewhat stiff.

During the whole conversation, Lu Peijin was looking at her—not the so-called room!

“Miss Su, haven’t you eaten dinner yet?” Lu Peijin stepped closer and said, “Neither have I.”

“Shall we go have some dinner?” Su Zhiruan stepped back but found that behind her was the large bed at the very center of the room, and her steps were blocked, her knees bending, directly sitting on the edge of the bed.

At that moment, Lu Peijin stopped teasing her, directly knelt by the bed, his knees beside her, and with a firm arm, Su Zhiruan’s eyes suddenly widened—

The two tumbled together onto the soft bed.

What followed was a tumultuous upheaval.

The light gray floor tiles were covered by clothes, blocking the porcelain white moonlight, and also obstructing her gasping breaths.

As the tree shadows swayed, the moonlight suddenly reappeared.

Clearly, the quality of this bed was somewhat lacking compared to a hotel, mainly manifested by its squeaking noise along the way. @@novelbin@@

Of course, that might also have been caused by the excessively vigorous shaking.

“…Eating, of course, we should eat…” Lu Peijin looked at the girl with her hair scattered and covering her face, while he moved, he reached out and brushed her hair aside, “But before eating, I’d much rather devour someone first…”

The girl looked somewhat speechless, her eyes red-rimmed as she glared at him, only seeing his extremely close, outstandingly handsome face.

Being able to be distracted in such a moment, it seemed she was the only one. Lu Peijin, dissatisfied, moved vigorously once more.

Thus, the moonlight was once again obscured, and dark clouds loomed, a precursor to the storm that was about to erupt.

Su Zhiruan soon lost the mindset to overthink. As for whether she was hungry—that came as a surprise, turning into the topic that started it all!

It proved that as long as Lu Peijin wanted something, he could concoct a thousand reasons on the spot.

When the clouds dispersed and the first light appeared, Lu Peijin held her and then asked, “What do you plan to do afterward?”

“What afterward?” Su Zhiruan lay still, not quite catching what he said.

“After having the child… what do you plan to do?” Lu Peijin didn’t know why he asked this question; he had believed for 27 years that he would remain solitary, not tied down by anyone.

Wanting a child was merely to appease the Lu Family; he himself wasn’t particularly invested.

But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to ask her what she would do.

A girl who had such a past with him, lived dependently with her grandmother, and he had ordered never to entangle with the Lu Family again or return to Jinghua,

What would she do?

When Lu Peijin thought of this question, he was startled by himself.

But he quickly found a reason for himself; it was just a question to see her plans, after all, it wouldn’t matter to him later, they’d each go their separate ways.

Su Zhiruan had already thought about this question; she had nothing to hide. After all, the son of this world, “Small World,” merely wanted a child, and she was merely fulfilling her mission, without any emotional involvement. Therefore, there was no harm in telling him.

“Maybe I’ll take my grandmother traveling. The world through my eyes has a bustling, prosperous spring, a continuously rainy autumn in ancient villages and cities, a southern city full of blooming magnolias, and towns eternal in spring—I want to take my grandmother to see these places.” That was truly what Su Zhiruan thought.

She had a smile on her face when she spoke these words.

That smile was so dazzling that Lu Peijin even found it hard to look at her.

Her future should be brilliant and beautiful.

Yet, why did he feel a sharp pain in his heart when her world, her future, included no one but her and her grandmother?

It was strange.

This was not his style.

But inexplicably, he felt a sense of blockage in his heart.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke up, “If… would you consider staying in Jinghua?”

“Stay here?” Su Zhiruan turned her head, curiously looking at him, “Didn’t the contract say that I must leave here after having the child?”

“If… you want to see the child or if you want to develop a career here—your academic credentials mean that staying in Jinghua could offer you better opportunities,” Lu Peijin said after another pause.

He didn’t even know what he was saying himself.

He just thought so and said it.

But why would he say that?

Initially, he worried that Su Zhiruan would cling to the child and try to ascend socially, becoming a Phoenix.

But now, he realized she had no such intentions; she even wanted to leave Jinghua quickly.

Leave him.
