I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 174 – Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future (3)

After leaving the study, Ye Zhen supported Mrs. Lu as they walked to her room. After comforting the anxious Mrs. Lu, she returned to her own room.

She wasn’t worried about Lu Beichuan. Lin Zhan hadn’t fully matured yet into power, and Lu Shaoyan wasn’t a person of proper conduct. Old Master Lu was a very astute person and would naturally know the right choice to make. It wouldn’t be worth it to him to cause discord between himself and Lu Beichuan over this issue.

Shortly after Ye Zhen returned to her room, a servant knocked on the door and delivered the many gifts she had received during the celebration. They were all very expensive gifts.

Ye Zhen immediately saw the pair of watches that Lu Shaoyan had given to her and Lu Beichuan.

She asked the servant to fetch a pair of sharp pliers. Once she got the tool, she violently pried open the back of the expensive watch without hesitation. In addition to the elaborate and complicated watch cogs, Ye Zhen found something else: a cleverly crafted GPS tracker.

Sure enough, the novel description of Lu Shaoyan was on target. He was a scoundrel that harbored ill-intentions and had been ambitiously scheming for many years. If Lin Zhan didn’t have the protagonist halo protecting him, Lu Shaoyan might have gotten rid of Lin Zhan too after using him to get rid of Lu Beichuan

Lu Shaoyan put on the facade of someone that fooled around all day. He hid his shrewdness very well and was more skilled than he appeared. This type of person was much more difficult to deal with than Lin Zhan.

At the very least, if Lin Zhan opposed someone, he would do it openly and forthrightly. In contrast, Lu Shaoyan was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. At any moment, he could jump out to bite you while you were caught off-guard.

The only thing that Ye Zhen didn’t understand was, why were Lin Zhan and Lu Shaoyan working together now?

The door was pushed open, and Lu Beichuan walked into the room. While taking off his jacket and tossing it onto the couch, he pulled at his tie to loosen it. His expression didn’t look good.

“How did your talk go with grandpa?”

Lu Beichuan looked over at her. He saw the broken expensive watch on the desk, but he didn’t ask a single question. “Grandpa is still going forward with letting Lin Zhan recognize his ancestors, but he’s also agreed that he won’t allow Lin Zhan to enter Lu Corporation.”

“That’s the best of both worlds.”

“Yeah.” Lu Beichuan’s eyes flashed slightly. Apropos of nothing, he asked, “If one day, I...”

“Don’t worry. If one day you die, I’ll enjoy and squander the huge inheritance you leave me. I’ll raise Zhouzhou by myself.” Ye Zhen was very emotionally moved. She raised her head to look at Lu Beichuan. Full of genuine raw emotion, she said, “I’ll miss you.”

For lack of a better option, Lu Beichuan could only smile and didn’t say the real question that he wanted to ask.

With a gaze of infinite tenderness, he said to Ye Zhen, “Then I have to work hard now in order to leave behind a bigger inheritance for you to squander in the future.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu. I’m very touched.”

Her loving expression was truly exaggerated, but a few words from Ye Zhen was enough to completely dissipate the little bit of unhappiness Lu Beichuan felt when he left the study. His eyes were filled with smiles, and his heart was filled with tender love for her. It was as if his tiredness would melt away just from hearing Ye Zhen’s voice.

Looking at Ye Zhen’s moving lips, Lu Beichuan couldn’t resist trying to kiss her.

With sharp eyes and agile hands, Ye Zhen evaded him and covered her mouth. Unromantic, she asked, “What are you doing? We’re not in public and you want to take advantage of me?”

Lu Beichuan ended up kissing the air. He chuckled. “Alright, I won’t take advantage of you. You must be tired from today. You should go to sleep early.”

“Ah, wait!” Ye Zhen remembered that she had important information to share with him.
