Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 192: Why Pretend to Be a Gentleman?

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Why Pretend to Be a Gentleman?

Xiao Caizi said self-righteously, "What that means is, for a scumbag like you, of course there shouldn’t be any hesitation to rush in!"

Bo Jingshen frowned. "How am I..."

"I know, deep down you’re not a scumbag, but your actions make others think you are. You’ve already been branded as one, and now you want to talk about being a gentleman, talking about principles. If she moves on with someone else, can you only play the gentleman and talk to her?"

Xiao Caizi nearly sang out that last sentence in a tragic tune.

It was then Bo Jingshen realized Xiao Caizi didn’t behave or even resemble a lady of high society; she was straightforward to a fault.

The gentle and graceful facade on first meeting was all a sham.

However, it was precisely Xiao Caizi’s brutally direct taunts that awakened Bo Jingshen like a sledgehammer.

Having already been labeled a scumbag, why bother playing a gentleman in front of her at this point?

When Jiang Li went to check in, Su Lu and Su Yi had already completed their check-in and gone upstairs.

After Jiang Li finished checking in, he glared at Bo Jingshen, staring at the open palm Bo Jingshen had extended to him.

"I really... have poor taste in friends!" Despite saying that, Jiang Li still placed his room card into Bo Jingshen’s hand.

"Thanks," said Bo Jingshen.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth, "Honestly, even if you plan to stay in my room, how come I can’t stay in it myself? We’ve been friends for so many years; we even lived together when times were tough! What’s wrong with staying together in one room now!"

"Stop shouting," Bo Jingshen said. "What’s the point of you rooming with me? Rather than staying with me, you might as well stay with your ’little brother.’"

That effectively shut Jiang Li up.

He blinked, feeling there was some truth to it, but still muttered softly, "It’s just that I was worried about disturbing his rest! You think he’s here to play like us? He’s here for serious training."

"Yes, yes, so shouldn’t you take even better care of him? Young people don’t know better, pushing their bodies too hard with training late into the night, what if they ruin their health?" Bo Jingshen replied.

Jiang Li felt more convinced by Bo Jingshen’s logic, but still felt annoyed, so he muttered, "Have you no shame? You’re exactly that reckless young man who ruined his health! You really have the nerve to say that."

Bo Jingshen slightly curled his lips, "Exactly because I am a living example right here, it’s even more important to take it seriously, isn’t it?"

Jiang Li waved it off, "Alright, alright, you better hurry up to your room and settle in. I’ll wait here for Ying Xi and others, and then come to your room to find you."

"What do you need me for?"

"Hospital! Hospital! I’m taking you to the hospital!"

"No," Bo Jingshen frowned in rejection, he had enough of the hospital recently as if he hadn’t been forced to stay there due to illness, perhaps he would have clung to Su Lu like the ’scumbag’ he was accused of being.

"You’re **** bleeding! You don’t have a say in this!" Jiang Li retorted angrily, not giving Bo Jingshen a chance to respond, he continued, "Otherwise, I’ll go talk to Su Lu!"

Bo Jingshen: "...Jiang Su is considered a gentleman of integrity, how come when you guys came out of the same womb, you ended up like an old rogue."

He couldn’t be bothered to argue further and walked toward the elevator.

Jiang Li waited in the lobby for a while until Ying Xi and the teammates arrived. The young men in the Fierce Eagle Team’s red and white uniforms entered the lobby, chatting and laughing.

"Why aren’t you going back to your room first?" Ying Xi saw Jiang Li still waiting in the lobby, raised his eyebrows slightly, and conjured a barely perceptible smile, "Waiting for me?"

"Um." Jiang Li hung his head dispiritedly and nodded honestly.

Ying Xi suppressed a smile and cleared his throat softly, "Ahem. Waiting for me to do what..."

Jiang Li whispered, "Xiao Xi..."

"Hm?" Ying Xi made a questioning noise and casually took the Ice Pulse passed to him by a teammate, twisting off the cap to drink.

"Can I stay with you?" Jiang Li asked.

"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough..." Ying Xi choked and coughed violently.

Jiang Li frantically patted his back, "Hey, are you okay? If you don’t want to, forget it. I’ll think of something else. It could work with one of your other teammates too, no need to choke up like this."

Ying Xi frowned at him, his narrow phoenix eyes reddening around the edges from the intense coughing, "Who are you planning to bunk with?"

"Just..." Jiang Li glanced at Ying Xi’s teammates, not really sure who was better to mention; truthfully, he hadn’t even remembered all their names.

Ying Xi didn’t intend to wait for his answer, saying instead, "They all have single beds in their rooms; only mine is a suite."

Jiang Li blinked and smiled, "So you’re agreeing? That’s great, that’s great then. You should check in quickly, I need to get settled and then take Brother Shen to the hospital."

Su Lu also had a single bed in his room, a large floor-to-ceiling window that was very bright. The view outside was quite nice, the bed was a raised tatami style, the furniture all natural wood, and the lights covered with white lampshades giving off a warm hue sort of a Japanese vibe.

Su Lu was quite satisfied.

Su Yi carried her luggage to send her back to her room, "Then rest well, I’m heading to my room now. Call me if you need anything."

"Mhmm, you rest well too." Su Lu nodded.

Su Yi thought for a bit then awkwardly said, "Then, let’s have dinner together later."

Su Lu thought for a moment and shook her head with a smile, "No thanks, you go eat with Ying Xi and his teammates. You young people have more to talk about. I don’t want to interfere, and I need to eat light meals for a while. I’m afraid it won’t suit your taste."

Su Yi frowned, "What do you mean ’you young people,’ as if you are much older."

Su Lu responded, "Alright then, you internet-addicted youths have more topics to chat about, I can’t join in, so I won’t mingle with you."

Su Yi opened his mouth but really had no comeback; he could only scratch his head with frustration, revealing a somewhat annoyed expression before turning and leaving her room.

Su Lu had just dragged her luggage to the closet to settle in, then she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window admiring the view outside.

Taking several photos of the view from the window with her phone, she prepared to send them to Cheng Youran and Su Zhe to put their minds at ease.

Before she could even adjust the photo’s filter style, the doorbell rang.

Su Lu thought it might be some room service, or Jiang Li, or Su Yi needing something, so she responded and walked to the door without thinking to peek through the peephole, just opened the door.

Standing outside the door was neither the room service, nor Jiang Li, nor Su Yi.

"Bo Jingshen."
