Chapter 193: Yan Beicheng, I’m Begging You Not To Scare Me, Okay?

She had shared her plans with Xu Guodong and Dai Huimin last night and both of them have now passed the restaurant’s operations fully over to her. Xu Guodong was happy being the chef because he did not need to worry about anything else. On the other hand, Dai Huimin knew her capabilities, so she took charge of service.

When Xu Jiaojiao shared her thoughts, they did not object. All they did was listen and nod while insisting that they would let her handle everything. Xu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded at their reaction.

Soon after, Dai Huimin finished cleaning the tables and the floor. She pounded her shoulders and back while walking toward the kitchen. Xu Jiaojiao watched her and felt a little sad as she decided to do everything possible to help the restaurant make money. She did not want Dai Huimin to handle cleaning anymore and just wanted Dai Huimin to serve the dishes when there were too many people.

At that moment, Dai Huimin’s phone rang. Dai Huimin’s phone did not ring often as not many people would think about calling her.

When she saw the name of the screen, she got so excited she nearly jumped for joy, but at the same time, she was worried that something might have happened to her.

Xu Jiaojiao curiously approached her as she saw Dai Huimin’s worried expression. “Mum, who’s calling you? What’s wrong?”

Dai Huimin quickly regained her composure and picked up the call. “Lin… Lin Chu!”

Xu Jiaojiao stopped what she was doing as well. Lin Chu did not know how to start the conversation, so she simply bit her lip and said, “I… I just wanted to share with all of you that I’m pregnant. I feel that I should let you know about this.”

“Is that true? I… I never thought that you’d be willing to share this news with me. Thank you, thank you so much. This is good news, really great news,” Dai Huimin’s tears began streaming down her face.

Lin Chu did not expect Dai Huimin to react so emotionally and she did not know how to continue the conversation after she heard Dai Huimin crying. Her head began to buzz as she forced herself to continue, “Yes, um, I went for a check-up last night and apparently it’s been a little more than a month.”

“How… How are you feeling right now? Do you have a strong appetite?” Dai Huimin cried as she asked.

Lin Chu glanced at Yan Beicheng and realized he had been staring at her all this while. There was a glint in his eye and a big smile on his face.

Lin Chu instantly knew that no matter how terrible she felt in the future, it was all going to be okay. She reached out to hold Yan Beicheng’s hand and Yan Beicheng immediately sat down next to her.

His long arms wrapped around her waist as Lin Chu leaned into his arms, resting her head on his shoulder.

They did not exchange any words but still felt a strong connection. All they needed to do was exchange a glance and they knew what the other was thinking.

“My appetite has been alright. I actually started reacting to food yesterday. I used to love oily, fried food but I couldn’t hold them down. The cold noodles you made me suited my appetite much more. It’s sour, spicy and tasty. When I didn’t have much of an appetite last night, I kept thinking about that taste from that afternoon, so I had a bowl of cold noodles, but without with less spiciness,” Lin Chu said in an attempt to make Dai Huimin feel better.

“Right, right. You can’t have spicy food while pregnant,” Dai Huimin nodded continuously as she brought Xu Jiaojiao into the kitchen with her.

“Just let me know if you’d ever like to have it. I’ll get your uncle to make you some. It’s not that much trouble to make the noodles so don’t worry about troubling us. Unless, your family is also making it for you, if so…”

“I’ll come when I’d like to have some more. But if I suddenly crave it in the middle of the night, please don’t let me trouble you,” Lin Chu said.

Dai Huimin’s face immediately brightened. “No, of course not! You can come and see me anytime, even if it’s in the middle of the night!”

At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao took the phone from her. “Lin Chu… Big sister, congratulations.”

Lin Chu gently caressed her tummy. It could be because she was pregnant, but she felt much more forgiving than before.

She no longer wanted to hold on to what had happened in the past, all she wanted was to forgive and forget, and get along with everyone.

Lin Chu replied gently, “Thank you. It’s not too convenient for me right now as I’m newly pregnant, but once I stabilize, I’ll come to visit the restaurant. We can have a meal together then.”

“Great. I’ll let my parents know. They will be so happy.”

Lin Chu felt a deep sense of relief after hanging up. It was a like huge rock had been lifted off her shoulders.

“Feeling better?” Yan Beicheng pinched her nose.

Lin Chu gave a slightly embarrassed smile. “To be honest, I was worried they would do something that would cause you trouble when they first appeared. Now that I know they are good people, I’m really glad that they are by my side.”

Lin Chu suddenly looked up. “It’s impossible not to tell anyone about this. Chu Zhaoyang and the others know about my pregnancy but Moyan and Yuntong are like my sisters. We’re more than just ordinary friends, so shouldn’t I let them know too?”

“You tell those close to you, but not any random person. Yuntong and you work in the same company, so if you let her know, she can take care of you when you are in the office, which would be nice. She can help you out in case there are any emergencies,” Yan Beicheng said as he tidied her hair.

Lin Chu happily logged into WeChat with Yan Beicheng’s approval and sent a message in the group chat that contained the three of them.

Lin Chu thought to call either one of them since Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan lived together, but she could not decide who to call, so she informed them via the chat group instead.

She did not know what the two of them were doing but they were obviously hanging out together. They opened the message at the same time and went crazy over it together.

Zheng Yuntong, “Wow! That’s such a surprise! Congratulations! Congratulations to you both!”

Xu Moyan, “You guys are really fast!”

Lin Chu heard Yan Beicheng mumbling by the side, “I’m not that fast at all.”

Lin Chu, “…”

Wasn’t he misunderstanding the message?

Xu Moyan, “Oh right. Lin Chu, I’ve done what you instructed me to do.”

Zheng Yuntong simultaneously sent out a Weibo link.

Zheng Yuntong, “I’ve gotten people to contact the marketing account and advertise it on Weibo.”

Yan Beicheng read it and raised an eyebrow, “What’s going on here?”

Lin Chu slapped her head. “I totally forgot about this. Please don’t think that I’m purposely hiding it from you.”

Lin Chu had genuinely forgotten about it, but as she watched Yan Beicheng raise his eyebrow and focus his gaze on her, she felt a little guilty.

She was afraid that Yan Beicheng would go berserk over what Lu Zhenghand had done, so she tried to calm him down by gently caressing his chest. “I promised you that I won’t hide anything from you, including what had happened here. It was my birthday yesterday and I didn’t want to spoil it with this story. I wanted to tell you about it today, but I was too preoccupied with the news of my pregnancy that I forgot about everything else. You have to promise me first that you’re going to stay calm after I tell you about this as I don’t want you to scare the two elders and Ningbai. I’ve already had my revenge for this, and I won’t stop you if you want to take your own revenge to vent your anger, but for now, you need to stay calm.”

Yan Beicheng was just asking a casual question as he did not think it was anything serious, but when Lin Chu said these words, he sat up in attention.

He became tense. “What happened?”

Lin Chu told him about what Lu Zhenghang had given to her yesterday. She watched as Yan Beicheng’s body went rigid and his face became red. The next moment, he looked about ready to rush out and fight Lu Zhenghang to the death.

Lin Chu quickly grabbed on tight to his hands that were resting on his legs.

Yan Beicheng’s hands were already balled up tightly into fists such that Lin Chu felt like she was holding onto a rock. She was nervous and anxious but tried her best to relax him. She gently caressed his tightly clenched fingers along with the back of his hands.

“I knew you would get really angry, which was why I didn’t dare tell you about this immediately. Beicheng, I’m not going to stop you from retaliating against him as he disgusts me. You can do anything you want to him, but you can’t let that kind of person have so much control over your anger – it’s not worth it. I was really angry about it yesterday too and it took me the whole afternoon to calm myself down. When I thought about that Lu Zhenghang’s face, I told myself, ‘why is that person worth me getting angry over?’ He’s not worth anything! He’s not worth me getting mad and not worth you getting all worked up.

“Yan Beicheng, I’m begging you not to scare me, okay? The entire Lu family is comprised of disgusting people. They had… They had already… They had already caused your father’s death, I don’t you to be affected by their antics. They have no right, and are not worth it! You can do anything you want, you can even cut him into pieces to release your anger, but just don’t let the anger consume you,” Lin Chu said.

Yan Beicheng’s hands finally relaxed a little as Lin Chu finally gave a sigh of relief. She was suddenly hauled up onto his lap.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Beicheng was holding her tightly in his arms.

She could feel the tension in his body. He was trembling with anger.

Yan Beicheng would never have such a big reaction when facing other situations, but when it came to the Lu family, he would easily lose control.

Lin Chu did not know what else to do and could only hug him back tight. She continuously rubbed his back gently, caressing him from top to bottom in an attempt to get him to relax.

“I’m so disgusted at the thought of what he had sent to you,” Yan Beicheng said as he tried to repress his anger.

Lin Chu shook her head. “I was initially disgusted too, but I felt that even if I was disgusted with him, or even hate him, I can’t keep thinking about him. It would be like we were obsessed with him. How is he worthy of having a place in our hearts? Oh, right. I haven’t told you what I did to take care of him.”

Lin Chu patted Yan Beicheng’s back. She felt him relax and she smiled in relief.

Lin Chu was still in Yan Beicheng’s arms when she took out her phone. Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan were taking turns calling out to her in their chatgroup.

Zheng Yuntong, “Lin Chu, where are you?”

Xu Moyan, “Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?”

Lin Chu quickly replied, “I’m here. I was just telling Beicheng about what happened.”

Yan Beicheng was reading the conversation between the three of them whilst Lin Chu made no attempt to hide it from him.

Xu Moyan, “He still doesn’t know about it?”

Lin Chu, “Yeah, it was my birthday yesterday, remember? I didn’t want to dampen the mood with this.”

Zheng Yuntong, “That’s right. Not worth it for a bastard like him.”

Lin Chu told them she wanted to see the fruits of their labor and clicked on the link Zheng Yuntong had shared.

It was a link to a Taobao site, and the name was simple yet rude, ‘Xing X Film and Television Company’s President Lu Presents The Real-Life Model Of His Thing, Made For Both Men And Women, Real As Can Be!’

The slogan wrote, ‘Would you like to feel the rush of our country’s N generation second rate rich kid? Would you like to find out how thick and strong a tall, rich, handsome man’s penis is? Have you always wanted to know what it felt like to have a one-night stand with President Lu?

“Here’s your chance!

“Our shop is here to satisfy you! It’s a countrywide exclusive and we only have one in stock. Once sold, it’s gone for good! It’s a real-life one to one ratio high-quality model with exquisite attention to detail. You can even see the veins on it.

“Is President Lu that impressive? Just use this and you’ll find out!”

There were detailed pictures posted below the advertisement. Lin Chu and the other girls were not really looking to sell it off. What they wanted was to spread the news far and wide for everyone to see.

It did not bother them if no one bought it. The important thing was that everyone knew that it belonged to Lu Zhenghang. They did not disclose his full name, but it was pretty clear who the owner was by the mention Xing X Company and President Lu.

The advertisement was full of loopholes. Even if Lu Zhenghang wanted to bring them to court, he could not exactly admit that the advertisement was talking about him. Even if he tried to get it taken down, he would not be able to produce any evidence to prove that it was his.

Besides, how exactly would he try to prove that this was a one to one scale object? He would need to measure it, but was he going to get some expert to do that?

Regardless of if Lu Zhenghang reacted to it, he was going to be embarrassed but have no way out.

When the advertisement was posted, it did not matter if anyone was going to buy it. What mattered was that Lu Zhenghang would be hung out to dry as his most private ‘thing’ was exposed to the public. Anyone would have the opportunity to scrutinize it.

Xu Moyan had even taken great care to post a detailed picture of it.

Even though Lin Chu was disgusted by those pictures, the thought of Lu Zhenghang being irked by this cheered her up slightly.

The worse thing about it was that Xu Moyan did not put a price on it. Instead, she auctioned it off to the highest bidder.

Surprisingly, the bids kept getting higher. It looked like many could afford to pay. This was going to be Lin Chu’s compensation for the emotional damage Lu Zhenghang had caused her.

“Stop looking at it. It will hurt your eyes,” Yan Beicheng reached over and closed the webpage on her phone.

Lin Chu should be looking at Yan Beicheng’s crown jewels and not Lu Zhenghang’s. Even if Lu Zhenghang had given her a fake one, it was still made according to Lu Zhenghang’s real measurements. Yan Beicheng felt that it was just like looking at Lu Zhenghang himself. How could he allow Lin Chu to continue staring at that thing?

“If you’d like to look, then look at mine instead. You can take your time to admire it in great detail. Besides, mine is bigger anyway,” Yan Beicheng hugged Lin Chu and guided her hand down to his groin. He was hinting at her to measure if properly.

Lin Chu was dumbfounded. She had not expected him to be jealous of this. She lowered her head as her ears burned red, making her look like a bunny rabbit. It was throbbing under her hands as she teased, “Who would even want his?”

Yan Beicheng’s lips could feel the heat emanating from her ears. He used his lips to touch her ears as he slowly and carefully kissed them.

He mumbled, “Quickly forget about that thing, it’s too ugly. You’re only allowed to think of mine.”

Lin Chu also thought looking at those pictures was quite an unsettling, especially when she knew that it was made according to Lu Zhenghang’s measurements. It was the same feeling as looking at Lu Zhenghang, which was so disgusting she wanted to retch.

She hugged Yan Beicheng’s waist tight. “I’ve only ever wanted to look at yours.”

Yan Beicheng may have already known this but her words still cheered him up greatly. He lowered his head and pulled her collar open, then sucked hard on her neck, leaving behind a hickey.

Lin Chu burned from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. However, she pulled her hands free from his grip. She was not about to measure his penis right now.

When she picked up her phone, Yan Beicheng covered the screen with his hands. She heard his moody voice, which now sounded much like a child complaining, “I thought you’ve had enough of it?”

“I’m not going to continue looking at it. Yuntong sent two links to me. The first was the link to the shop, the second is for Weibo. Now, I want to see how it was advertised on Weibo. Since Lu Zhenghang liked showing it off so much, we’ll just let everyone have a good look,” Lin Chu pulled his hands away.

Yan Beicheng did not stop her. He enthusiastically stuck close to Lin Chu’s face as they started reading it together.

Zheng Yuntong had gotten in touch with several marketing accounts to properly promote the item and it was now the hottest searched item online. She also got some keyboard warriors to make sarcastic comments and attack Lu Zhenghang.

Keyboard warrior 1, “Rich people do play a different game. I didn’t expect that they would be able to make a real-life one-to-one ratio of this.”

Keyboard warrior 2, “President Lu is pretty confident of his size. I can tell that he hasn’t been to a public bath before. How could he be so brave to display it when he hasn’t compared it before?”

Keyboard warrior 3, “It’s not even real and there’s no monetary gain from this. Who would buy such a little bird? This should be purchased to be enjoyed but it’s obvious that there’s nothing much to be enjoyed here.”

Keyboard warrior 4, “Poor President Lu, so overconfident.”

Keyboard warrior 5, “I heard that Xing X Company is recently looking at investing in a Hong Kong porn film. I think President Lu can be the actor for the film since he is so ‘big’.”

It was inevitable that Lu Zhenghang found out about this, especially since it had blown up online. He was so angry that he smashed his phone to smithereens.

He knew that Lin Chu had received it yesterday. He had even called the delivery company personally to verify that the receiver was the one who had signed for the package.

However, he had not expected Lin Chu to retaliate this way.

After his rage had subsided, Lu Zhenghang’s scheming lips curved upward. After sharing a few confrontations with her, he was aware that Lin Chu was a smart woman. She had brains and was quite feisty.

He liked that she was beautiful but had a mean streak in her. She was not going to be a boring opponent.

The more Lin Chu was repulsed by him and the closer her relationship grew with Yan Beicheng, the more fun it became for him. In the future, when Lin Chu belonged to him, it would cause Yan Beicheng more pain.

The very thought of it made the sneer on Lu Zhenghang’s face grow wider. His anger also subsided a little.

He could not stand to see Yan Beicheng have a good life. He wanted to take everything away from him and wanted Yan Beicheng to hate him, to be disgusted by him. He wanted to see Yan Beicheng in pain so that Yan Beicheng would end up like his father, without a happy ending!

Lu Zhenghang picked up his phone and clicked on the auction site.

He had to admit, if he was Yan Beicheng, he would pick Lin Chu as well, and not Lu Weining.

Looks and personality aside, Lu Weining had already when it came to intelligence.

“President,” his assistant knocked on his door from outside.

Lu Zhenghang annoyedly grunted for his assistant to come in. He had nothing to hide now anyway as the whole company was probably aware of his situation.

Lu Zhenghang narrowed his eyes and said to his assistant, “No matter how much it costs, bid and take that thing down for me.”

He might have posted it to Lin Chu, but it did not mean that he allowed just anybody to buy it. Who knew what those people might do with it. Antics aside, he did not have the habit of exposing himself to others.

Meanwhile, after Lin Chu finished telling Yan Beicheng about the whole story, he anticipated Lu Zhenghang’s next move. He immediately called Zuo Qiu, “You don’t need to check the ID of the others since there could be more than one. If there is one ID that is especially determined to bid on it, all you need to do is to raise the price. You don’t need to worry about how high it goes as I’m sure it will get higher at the very end. This would most likely be Lu Zhenghang’s people.”

“Master Yan, do you want me to push the price to the highest possible bar and get him to buy it back at a high price?” Zuo Qiu asked.

“That’s the idea. All you need to do is to hang on until the very last second. If you are the last bidder and the other party doesn’t continue bidding, it’s okay to purchase it. Don’t feel pressured about the situation. Just make really high bids. If you can make it painful for him to part with then money, that would be even better,” Yan Beicheng said as his fingers idly played with Lin Chu’s hair.

This task would be much easier with Yan Beicheng’s guarantee. If it did not matter if the other party won it in the end, then Zuo Qiu had no qualms about bidding a high price.

When he hung up, Lin Chu continued asking, “Is it really okay? We’re the ones selling it and then we’re buying it back at a high price. Even though we can afford it, why would we want to spend so much money to buy that disgusting thing back? It’s such a terrible thing to own. Why would we want it?”

Yan Beicheng could not help laughing. His index finger poked her lightly on the nose and he pushed it upward such that her nose was squeezed against the bridge. One could clearly see her nostrils stretched out wide in front of her, making her look like a pig.
