Chapter 1958: Why Are You Watching My Family's Business?

Before, when Gao Zhe was always keeping an eye on her, staying up late was fine, but he’d stay up with her. He had his own things to do too. No matter whose place they were at, the study was shared, one computer desk each, and every time it would absolutely never go past eleven. She’d be coaxed and tricked into bed by Gao Zhe.

During this stretch of time, with no one watching over her, she’d occasionally stay up until two or three in the morning.

“I asked yesterday when I went to the hospital. As long as I don’t feel unwell myself, it’s no big deal.”

“You really think you’re so reasonable!”

Gao Zhe’s face was still dark. He’d just scolded her, then suddenly realized he had to coax this ancestor back. He hurriedly changed his tone before she could react: “If you feel even a little uncomfortable, you have to tell me right away. No matter whether I’m with you or not, I will always pick up your calls. And stop staying up late from now on. If there’s work you really can’t finish, just push it to me.”

“No way.”

Lu Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow at his reflection in the mirror. “My work is my work. Don’t you have your own? You’re so young, why are you staring at my family’s business?”

This mouth of hers, seriously!

Lu’s and Gao’s had always been deeply intertwined in cooperation. Even though they were two companies, it was fine to treat them as one. Employees and senior management on both sides all accepted this. Anyway, the older generation would retire sooner or later, and after that, when the two of them moved up, whoever developed better would be good for both families.

The parents on both sides had never said anything like “handing the business over to whom,” but it was tacitly understood. Gao Zhe often helped handle Lu’s affairs. When they worked together, confidential documents were just laid out on the desk for him to read freely.

The words that slipped out of Lu Zhenzhen’s mouth were more or less a bit ungrateful.

“Why would I be eyeing those? Whether it’s your family’s or mine, in the future it’s all going to be yours,” Gao Zhe tried his best to stay calm. He’d used up all the patience of this lifetime on coaxing her. “Right now all you need to do is eat well and rest well. The beast of burden work is my job. I won’t let you or that little pea in your belly suffer.”

Lu Zhenzhen was amused. “You’re the little pea. Who are you insulting?”

She picked up some water and cream, about to follow the steps to apply them on her face. Gao Zhe raised his hand and snatched them away, staring at the instructions on the bottle, his gaze sharp like he was cracking a case. “Are these things safe? Can you still use them?”

“What’s with the big fuss? I’ve been using them all along and nothing happened.”

Lu Zhenzhen reached out to take them back, but Gao Zhe didn’t give them to her. “Don’t use them for now. Let me look into it first and buy you some products that are safe for pregnancy. Just bear with it for a couple of days. You’re this beautiful; your looks aren’t going to collapse that fast.”

Lu Zhenzhen was coaxed into blooming with delight. “Fine, then I won’t use them. Hurry up and buy them.”

Gao Zhe went to find a storage box and put all her stuff into it, then locked it away in the highest cabinet in the walk-in closet.

Lu Zhenzhen closed the bathroom door. After she finished in there and came out, Gao Zhe had also changed his clothes.

He only took a car key, then drove and took Lu Zhenzhen to Aunt Zhan’s private kitchen restaurant.

On the way, he tentatively asked, “Zhenzhen, about you being pregnant, should we tell Mom and Dad?”

The “Mom and Dad” he mentioned referred to both sets of parents, unlike Lu Zhenzhen, who was still calling them Uncle and Aunt up to now.

During the time they’d broken up, the elders at home had no idea. They’d kept it from them, and they also didn’t know that the two had moved out and were living separately. Previously, after she slept with Gao Zhe once, the next morning she happened to get a call from her mom asking her to bring Gao Zhe home for a meal.

She hadn’t put the call on speaker then, but he heard everything and didn’t say a word. He just waited for her orders, then followed her back to the Lu Family for lunch, carrying gifts in his hands and naturally calling her parents Mom and Dad.
