Chapter 65: Chapter 65 After Fleeing, The Disabled Boss Stops Pretending 27
Su Zhiruan spoke halfway but fell silent before the expectant eyes of Lu Peijin, then she shook her head.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Peijin looked at her, asking in confusion. He was very smart and quickly guessed why she had suddenly gone quiet. Sitting beside her, the perfect pretense he had wanted to maintain began to falter, and he was filled with desolation. After a long time, he spoke, “So… you’ve decided to leave anyway?”
“It was you, President Lu, who found me and proposed this contractual relationship. After giving birth to the Lu Family’s child, I certainly wouldn’t go against the contract. I’ll leave Jinghua and not entangle with you and the child anymore.” Su Zhiruan could feel his burning gaze, which at that moment seemed to be one of betrayal, of being deceived.
Indeed, she found it somewhat incredible. The man who had been cold and unfeeling, who seemed to merge with the night while sitting in a wheelchair, was now showing a tender side, displaying emotions, and even willing to do things for her that he might never have imagined in his life.
But she didn’t dare to gamble.
If it were another woman, she might not think too much about it. He was now completely accommodating and extremely doting. Why not stay, especially with the three children she had carried for ten months, who were chubby and adorable as little dolls?
...
Even someone with a heart of stone would give it a thought.
But Su Zhiruan knew well that Lu Peijin was a man in power, the head of Lu Group, the dream of countless maidens from prominent families and delicate beauties. The contract he had proposed showed that he held no expectations for family and marriage; he was even pessimistic at heart.
Even though he now revealed a softer side, Su Zhiruan only wanted to fulfill the contract, then take the money and flee far away with her grandmother.
Her character was gentle, soft, and considerate, with an abundance of charisma. Few people would conflict with her, but in reality, only those who had spent time with her knew she was a very resolute person with clear boundaries.

Gentle yet firm, content yet striving for better. This was the best summary of her.
Nowadays, aside from her education, she had no family background or job. Considering the huge gap between her and Lu Peijin, even if she agreed to stay, their relationship would be criticized. She didn’t like this, nor did she want it.
“If possible, I would like to name our daughter.” Su Zhiruan wasn’t worried about her three children living poorly in the Lu Family. The two sons would naturally be named following the Lu family naming tradition. Since she was going to leave, she still wished to leave something for her daughter.
“Of course, it’s not just our daughter. Think of some names for the two sons as well,” said Lu Peijin, sitting beside her, speaking softly. His tone was somewhat distracted, but his gaze never left Su Zhiruan.
“How about Mingzhu? Lu Mingzhu.” A pearl and a treasure, a darling cherished in the palm.
Su Zhiruan had thought about this when she was pregnant. If she had a soft and cuddly little girl, she wanted to leave her with a nickname.
“That’s a lovely name,” agreed Lu Peijin.
Just then, the door was knocked twice, and Lu Peijin stood up to open it. Outside was a nurse, followed by the old Master Lu, looking curious.
Ever since Master Lu and Lu Peijin had argued at the Lu Family home, their relationship had become even more strained.
But when Su Zhiruan gave birth, and the two met in the hospital, the atmosphere seemed somewhat more relaxed.
“How is the girl doing now?” Master Lu signaled the people behind him to bring in the gifts, all of which were expensive. They were carried in continuously, dazzling the onlookers.
“Thank you, Senior, I’m feeling much better now,” answered Su Zhiruan politely.
“Have you seen the children, the three little ones together, how adorable!” Grandpa Lu had already visited the children before coming over. Now old, he had obtained both money and power in his lifetime, and no longer sought to stir things up; all he wanted was to dote on his grandchildren.
“You truly are a great hero of our Lu Family, Su girl! To give birth to three children all at once!” Grandpa Lu was extremely excited, then turned to look at Lu Peijin and said to the two of them, “I didn’t hear about you guys having a wedding; that was quite impolite. Pick a good day to hold a wedding ceremony, get your marriage certificate, and I, an old man, will have no other desires in this lifetime than to see you, the young couple, along with these three children, contented and fulfilled.”
The old man sighed continuously. Lu Peijin did not speak but quietly shifted his gaze to Su Zhiruan.
Seeing her calm demeanor, just smiling and being a listener without saying much.
His heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Indeed!
It had been a contractual relationship from the beginning, and what she may have always kept in her heart was probably that very contract.
Even though he had begun to develop feelings.
Lu Peijin did not say anything further, just silently walked to the window, looking out at the scenery, but it was unclear whether he was actually watching the scenery or lost in thought.
Grandpa Lu continued to fantasize about a lovely future life, while Su Zhiruan occasionally smiled and nodded in agreement, including the young nurse and the two aunts in the room, all were praising how extremely fortunate she was.
In her first pregnancy, she successfully gave birth to triplets for the Lu Family: the eldest grandson, the second grandson, and the eldest granddaughter, all born by her. During the birth, Lu Peijin was so anxious, and now even Grandpa Lu himself came to visit, and he announced that he wanted to arrange their wedding venue.
Even the two aunts of such age couldn’t help being heart-struck, moved by the beautiful and fortunate future life ahead.
“You two hurry up and register your marriage, and then I, as an old man, will be able to enjoy my grandchildren and leave the company to Lu Peijin, the young man, which I trust wholly,” Grandpa Lu said, tapping the floor with his walking stick, his face all beaming with a kind smile.
Su Zhiruan smiled and shifted the topic, “Uncle Lu, how about you name the two grandsons? For the daughter, I’m thinking of naming her Mingzhu.”
“Mingzhu, that’s perfect! Our little pearl!” Indeed, Su Zhiruan’s change of topic was effective; Grandpa Lu immediately put all his thoughts into this, “According to the family tree, it’s now the turn for the character ‘Qing’.”
“How about Qinghe and Qingyuan?” Grandpa Lu pondered for a moment, then suggested these two names.
“Lu Qinghe, Lu Qingyuan, good names,” Su Zhiruan felt they were very nice, and Lu Peijin had no objections.
Thus, the names of the three little ones were settled.
Later, the nurse brought the three children to Su Zhiruan’s ward. This was the first time she had seen them outside of the delivery room.
The three freshly washed squishy babies, with fingers curled, all of them tiny and wrinkled, looked like little monkeys.
Perhaps it was a connection of blood and natural instincts, Su Zhiruan felt warmth in her heart upon seeing them. She gently touched the nearest Little Qinghe, the little one didn’t open his eyes, but his fingers moved.
