After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

He didn't even notice until he walked up to Lu Peichuan's side.

Rong Zheng heard him mention the project handover date and knew he was working, so she didn't disturb him. Only after he hung up did she speak, "Pei Chuan."

Lu Peichuan turned his head at the sound, saw Rong Zheng, his eyes widened suddenly, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. "Zhengzheng."

Rong Zheng squatted down to pick up her phone.

Lu Peichuan looked towards the private room and saw that the door was closed; his eyes instantly returned to calm.

Rong Zheng handed the phone to Lu Peichuan, "Luckily there was a carpet, otherwise the phone would have broken."

"I was so surprised to see you like this." Lu Peichuan put his phone back in his pocket, took Rong Zheng's hand, and asked, "How did you find your way here?"

A hint of resentment surfaced in Rong Zheng's eyes. "If you won't come to see me, I have no choice but to come to you."

"You...aren't angry anymore?"

"Yes, you have your difficulties too, and I should try to see things from your perspective."

A smile appeared in Lu Peichuan's eyes as he hugged Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng looked around and, seeing that no one was around, gently placed her hand on Lu Peichuan's waist. She could hear that Lu Peichuan's heart was beating fast and strong.

bang bang bang...

The two embraced quietly, and the unpleasantness of the past few days gradually dissipated in the embrace.

A moment later, Lu Peichuan released Rong Zheng. "Let's go, I'll go back with you to celebrate our daughter's one-month birthday."

"I thought you'd forgotten."

"How could that be? I was planning to go there tonight."

"real?"

Lu Peichuan smiled and said, "Really? You haven't been replying to my messages. Shouldn't I use our daughter's one-month celebration as an excuse to back down?"

Remembering something, he added, "I bought Tangtang an education fund worth five million. The bank is reviewing it for risk control. I'll give it to you once it's approved."

The pent-up frustration that had been weighing on Rong Zheng's heart for the past few days vanished instantly, replaced by a smile. She slightly raised her chin and pointed to the private room behind Lu Peichuan, "Aren't you going in to say hello before you leave?"

"No need." Lu Peichuan took Rong Zheng's hand and walked towards the elevator.

The two had only taken two steps when they heard the sound of a door opening behind them. The next instant, a familiar voice rang out, "Pei Chuan, where are you going?"

Rong Zheng turned around and saw Su Qingya standing at the door of the private room. All the smiles on her face froze instantly. The next moment, she turned her gaze to Lu Peichuan.

Su Qingya seemed to only then notice Rong Zheng, and asked in surprise, "Rong Zheng, what brings you here?"

"Zhengzheng, let me explain..."

Rong Zheng didn't want to hear a single word. She shook off Lu Peichuan's hand and strode towards the elevator.

She felt like a joke, having come all the way to find Lu Peichuan, only to find him with Su Qingya.

It wasn't until this moment that she understood why Xue Bai hadn't told her where Lu Peichuan was.

Lu Peichuan caught up with her in a few steps and grabbed Rong Zheng. "It's not what you think. Don't be angry. Can you let me explain first?"

"Rong Zheng, today is my son's 60th day..."

Lu Peichuan turned his head and coldly interrupted Su Qingya, "Shut up!"

Su Qingya clenched her fists at her sides, but her face showed a wronged expression. "I just didn't want Rong Zheng to misunderstand, so I told her that everyone was celebrating for my son, not just the two of us."

Lu Peichuan's cold eyes widened for a moment, then his expression softened slightly. "Go inside. I'll handle my affairs."

Su Qingya looked at Rong Zheng and said, "Pei Chuan has been in a bad mood these past few days. He's been drinking with my brother every day after get off work. My relationship with him is completely innocent. I hope you won't make him sad because of me."

After saying that, she glanced at Lu Peichuan with red eyes, then turned and went into the private room.

Rong Zheng was slightly taken aback.

Did she really misunderstand Lu Peichuan?

As Lu Peichuan watched Su Qingya walk away, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He looked at Rong Zheng and said, "This gathering is organized by Yi Chen. I can't refuse to give him face. If you don't believe me, I can take you in now and say hello to my friends while I'm at it."

When Rong Zheng first started dating Lu Peichuan, Lu Peichuan was very happy and invited his friends to introduce her to him.

She was preparing for the internal doctoral entrance exam at the time, so she arrived a little late.

She arrived at the door of the private room, ready to push it open and go in, when she heard Lu Peichuan's group of friends talking.

"Although Rong Zheng is the school beauty and a top student pursuing a combined bachelor's and doctoral degree, her family background is ordinary, and she is really not good enough for you. There will be no future for you two."

"Young Master Lu is definitely just playing around with her. How could a woman like that possibly enter the Lu family?"

"I actually don't really like Rong Zheng. She takes advantage of her good looks and grades, acting all high and mighty, but in the end, she still fell for Young Master Lu."

The contempt and disdain in his words turned Rong Zheng's face pale as she stood outside the door. She was about to turn around and leave when Lu Peichuan's angry voice came from inside the private room.

"Zhengzheng is my girlfriend. If you continue to speak so recklessly, we brothers are no longer friends."

For Lu Peichuan's sake, she stood at the door for a moment, and after her mood calmed down, she pushed the door open and went in as if nothing had happened.

Later, when Lu Peichuan wanted to take her to meet those friends again, she said she didn't have much to say to them and it was quite awkward, so she didn't want to go.

Even after they got married, she never participated in his gatherings with his friends.

Gradually, Lu Peichuan's friends in that circle, regardless of gender, came to think that she was aloof and not good at socializing.

So when she inevitably bumped into someone at a banquet, people would point fingers at her, saying things like she was a hypocrite, a pheasant turned phoenix, and a woman from a poor family who dared to act high and mighty in front of them.

Rong Zheng disdained to associate with such a person.

"I'm not going. Tangtang is still waiting for me at the postpartum care center. I'm going back."

Lu Peichuan frowned slightly. "You still don't believe me?"

"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have come to you."

"So you're not angry with me anymore?"

"Um."

Lu Peichuan's brows instantly relaxed, and he leaned down to kiss Rong Zheng on the cheek.

Rong Zheng blushed with embarrassment, "Don't do this, we're outside."

A smile appeared in Lu Peichuan's eyes. "Then let's go back and kiss."

"You're being indecent." Rong Zheng glared at Lu Peichuan, then turned and walked towards the elevator with a flushed face.

Lu Peichuan caught up with her in a few steps, took Rong Zheng's hand, and they entered the elevator together.

The two arrived at the postpartum care center. Rong Zheng pushed open the door to the room, which had been decorated with ribbons, balloons, dolls, and fairy lights. There was also a sign on the window that read, "Happy 100th Month, Baby!"

Luo Qinghe was standing on a chair decorating the chandelier in the room with little stars and moons. When she saw the two of them come in, she first greeted them as President Lu, and then looked at Rong Zheng, who had a surprised expression, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "It looks beautiful. Why didn't you tell me you were making all this?"

Luo Qinghe jumped off the chair. "I'm celebrating our daughter's one-month birthday. What am I talking to you about?"

Rong Zheng's eyebrows curved into a smile, and a warm feeling seemed to flow through her heart.

Lu Peichuan entered the room, took his daughter from the nanny, and kissed her on her rosy cheek. "Did Tangtang miss her dad?"

When Luo Qinghe saw Lu Peichuan arrive, not wanting to disturb his rare time with Rong Zheng, she cut the cake, offered her blessings and a gift, and then left.

Before leaving, he leaned close to Rong Zheng's ear and whispered, "Take it easy, you can't sleep together yet."

Rong Zheng's face instantly turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Qinghe left with a smile.

Afterwards, Xu Ma and the nanny took the baby to swim and get a massage, leaving only Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan in the room.

Lu Peichuan put his arm around Rong Zheng's waist, his eyes fixed on her intently. "Zhengzheng, you look beautiful today."

Rong Zheng's heart raced, her cheeks flushed, and when she saw Lu Peichuan slowly approaching her, she knew he was going to kiss her, and her eyelids trembled slightly with nervousness.

Just as his lips were about to touch, his phone rang.
