Chapter 2005: Dad, Let's Talk

The servant brought it into the kitchen, quickly cut it into pieces, and served it up.

Mother Lu first gave a piece to Gao Zhe, then took another one to give to her daughter, only to see her husband, sitting on the other side, also hand a piece over to their daughter.

Lu Zhenzhen habitually raised her right hand and took the piece from her mother, but then bent her head to bite off the tip of the watermelon that her father offered, laughing gleefully like a little child.

Mr. Lu naturally ate the rest of what she left.

At most, Lu Zhenzhen could only eat two and a half pieces. She stuffed the last half piece to Gao Zhe, “I don’t want to leave tonight, I want to sleep at home.”

Gao Zhe nodded, “Alright, it’s up to you.”

“Then I’ll go upstairs to shower now, I can still smell that bit of alcohol from this noon…”

“You drank at such a time!”

Mother Lu almost jumped up, but the innate elegance made her press both hands on her legs, forcing herself to sit back down, only glancing reproachfully at her daughter, “You’re already pregnant, still this reckless? It’s not even three months yet, how could you drink!”

Lu Zhenzhen felt guilty, holding up one finger, “Just one glass, a tiny bit…”

“Not even a drop!”

Mother Lu slapped her finger down, turning to instruct Gao Zhe, “Xiao Zhe, watch over her more, she has always been mischievous since young, can’t tell the importance of things. If she throws a tantrum and doesn’t listen to you, just tell me, I’ll deal with her!”

Gao Zhe dared not, he couldn’t bear to, “Got it, I’ll listen to you.”

Mother Lu knew he was just placating her. This kid was all about integrity, yet he met such an unreliable girl. She also knew how pampered her daughter was, making her quite unruly. Each time Gao Zhe would verbally agree, but wouldn’t dare really manage her, yet he sweet-talked both of them so they couldn’t say a word against him.

Lu Zhenzhen still needed some control.

“I’ll go up with you, have a good talk with you.”

Lu Zhenzhen shrank back into the sofa, “No need, Mom, I know I was wrong, yet you still won’t let me off!”

“No need? If I don’t manage you now, you’ll turn the world upside down.”

Mother Lu helped her up, half dragging, half supporting her upstairs, “I’ll talk to you properly about things to pay attention to in early pregnancy.”

“No need to say, Gao Zhe knows it all…”

“Don’t rely on Xiao Zhe for everything. Unless you move back, your dad and I can watch over you.”

“I’ll listen! You can say as much as you want, I’ll make sure to listen well!”

Their voices drifted further away, yet Lu Zhenzhen’s playful and cheekily dodging voice still reached Gao Zhe’s ears. He chuckled, ate the half piece of watermelon, and threw it in the trash bin.

Mr. Lu handed him another piece.

Gao Zhe looked up, his gaze briefly tracing over Mr. Lu’s face.

He took the watermelon but didn’t eat it, instead, he leaned over and placed it back in the fruit bowl.

“Dad, let’s have a chat.”

Mr. Lu was momentarily stunned, then slightly smiled, “What do you want to talk about? About Zhenzhen? Now that she’s just pregnant, there are many things you need to pay attention to. When your aunt was pregnant with Zhenzhen, I read a lot of books and…”

“About you,” Gao Zhe suddenly interrupted.

Mr. Lu didn’t finish his sentence, suddenly interrupted, naturally felt a bit of displeasure, but when Gao Zhe’s gaze swept over, even sitting, he inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

The smile at the corner of his mouth seemed unconvincing, forced, becoming more like a straight line.

Clumsily, he asked, “About me? What’s up with me?”

“Zhenzhen has been pampered since childhood, you and mom protected her, never let her suffer when she was little, lost her for three years, when she was found, I never let her feel aggrieved, always spoiled her till now. You and mom can rest assured leaving her to me.”
