Chapter 218 - Lazy CEO


"..."


Xiu Mei turned speechless as soon as she saw herself in the mirror.


She totally looked like a person who did something unspeakable last night. Traces of love bites all over her body. Was that just her or her lips are slightly swelling?


And her eyes. My gosh, her eyes.


It was slightly swelling probably because she cried last night….ugh, why did she have to remember that again ah?!


And Lu Chen's gaze on her this morning. His possessiveness and desire that he showed her left her tongue-tied as she fell deeper under his spell.


She lightly slapped her cheek to make herself return to reality before her thoughts go to the gutter and went over to start the shower to distract herself.


Well, what's done is done.


It's not like she can turn back the time. Just let the rice be cooked!


….wait. Cooked?


Xiu Mei paused and pondered about something.


...Fudge!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh my gosh. Lu Chen… he…. I think he didn't use any protection last night!?


She felt an incoming pain as she couldn't remember properly if they were using protection last night. Gosh, she wasn't really prepared to have a baby!! Come on, she recently became a mother to a seven-year-old child and she couldn't imagine having to mother an infant so soon.


That would be crazy!


Xiu Mei bit her lips as she noted to buy a morning-after pill in her mind.


She didn't spend that much time in the shower. Noticing he was already dressed and seems to be working on something on his laptop, she quickly fled from her room feeling too shy to face him at the moment.


"Madame, are you alright? You look like you're sick." The butler told her when he saw her coming down the stairs.


She opened her mouth, thinking that finally, she could now respond to him normally.


".....?" Xiu Mei was at a loss for a split second before nodding her head and making an 'okay' gesture with her hand.


After that, the butler told her that Lu Qiang was already waiting for her at the breakfast table.


While walking, she pondered about her selective mutism again.


Since she couldn't make a sound a second ago, does this mean that she is only able to speak again around Lu Chen?


Her happiness that shot up a few minutes ago quickly dropped. She almost thought that she had already recovered… but it seems like it's still way too early for her to be happy.


"Mom, you overslept today." Her son told her as soon as she sat with him at the table. She could only smile as a response while patting his hair since she forgot to bring her tablet from upstairs.


She lowered her head to start eating when he called her again.


"Mom."


"?"


'I love seeing you smile, Mom.' He signed in the air with his hands.


She was stunned for a second before chuckling. Her dampened mood quickly went away seeing his son's actions, no, more like gestures. He actually fulfilled his promise to her. That he would learn sign language so he could easily communicate with each other.


"Did I do it correctly, Mom?" He asked seeking affirmation from her.


Xiu Mei praised him and responded to him in sign language, 'You did great. I'm so proud of you, my son.'


A smile bloomed on his son's face as he jumped off his seat to go over to her side. And then he kissed her on the cheek before hugging her. The two of them were like that for a few seconds when a different voice interrupted them.


"What is happening here?" Lu Chen appeared in the dining room and sat on his seat casually as if he was never gone the whole day yesterday.


Lu Qiang peeled away his hands from her mother and threw a smug look at his father. Lu Chen raised his brow but didn't open his mouth to ask his son.


"Mom says I did great when I showed her my sign language skills." Lu Qiang proudly said while returning to his seat.


"Oh?" Lu Chen glanced at Xiu Mei. She nodded. "And then?"


Lu Qiang smiled in triumph as he declared, "That means that I'm better than you, Dad."


He was so proud of his achievement that he looked so cute as he acted smug in front of his father. Xiu Mei even saw some of the maids nearby couldn't stop themselves from laughing.


"Commendable," Lu Chen started. There was a faint curl on his lips when he said that but Xiu Mei noticed when her husband's eyes narrowed.


She immediately realized that this guy was not going to say something good to his son in his next sentence.


"But you know what, I don't need to learn anymore since you're Mom—"


She didn't need to think twice and kicked his leg under the table cutting off his words. He turned in her direction so she quickly threw him a warning look to make him stop from continuing his sentence any further.


Gosh, she didn't he was this childish ah!


To think he would even compete with a child, much less to his son!


"Since Mom is what?" Lu Qiang asked in confusion watching his parents looking at each other weirdly.


Xiu Mei kicked her husband again to remind him as she threw him another warning look as if to say that if he still dared to speak nonsense words to Lu Qiang then she would really beat him up.


Lu Chen obediently listened to his wife. She already got annoyed by him back in the room, and he was too much in a good mood to ruin it by angering his wife so he changed his tune.


"Since Mom could just continue using her tablet to communicate with us." He replied as he started eating his breakfast.


"....Dad, you're just lazy aren't you?" Lu Qiang criticized as he showed a disappointed look.


Xiu Mei was momentarily stunned as her head shot up to look at the two guys before covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing and spitting out her food.


Oh my!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!


To think there would be a day when the workaholic CEO, who never uses his paid vacation leaves, would be called lazy by his son!!!
