Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 224 Tension

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Tension

When Zhao Ying came out of Bo Jingshen’s hospital room, she actually felt rather bitter inside.

She had always been a decent parent, not just because she felt guilty about Su Lu. Zhao Ying was also very kind to her son, Shen Xun, providing him with respect, understanding, acceptance, and support.

These were things she, as a mother, would always give. She believed these were more influential than money and material possessions, which is why Shen Xun had joined the search and rescue team. Despite the several dangerous incidents that made her anxious, and even though after her daughter was stolen, Shen Xun became her only child, she still wouldn’t restrict him because of that.

She was still willing to support Shen Xun in doing what he wanted to do.

Do what you want to do, live the life you want to live, so when you look back later, you’ll have no regrets.

This is how Zhao Ying had always raised her children.

So naturally, it was even less probable that she would fuss over her children’s love lives. As long as they weren’t villains, she generally had no objections.

She had no particular demands of Shen Xun, no matter if he would marry in the future, have children, have a partner, or prefer men or women. Zhao Ying had no opinions on any of it.

She considered herself to be a much better parent than the crazies from the Jing Family, but today she’d done just this— secretly applied pressure on matters of her child’s heart.

She had turned into the very thing she despised.

Zhao Ying felt really unsettled, lifting her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, she let out a light sigh, "Sigh..."

Then, when she looked up, she saw the caregiver hired to look after Bo Jingshen approaching. The caregiver recognized her, came up with a friendly smile, and greeted her in English that was fluent, albeit heavily accented.

Zhao Ying nodded and instructed, "Take good care of him."

Then she pulled some banknotes from her pocket and handed them to the caregiver.

All of this was unknown to Su Lu. She sat in the hotel room, her mind drifting.

She gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the scenery, her eyes wandering afar.

Su Zhe approached from behind, carrying two cups, and handed one to her, filled with honey lemon tea.

"What are you looking at?"

"Just looking around," Su Lu took a sip from the cup.

Su Zhe let out a slight sigh, "Nervous?"

He hit the nail on the head.

Su Lu didn’t hide it and nodded, "A little."

"It’s not your first time meeting, what’s there to be nervous about?" Su Zhe tried to reassure her, but felt his words were weak; how could she not be nervous? Even if it wasn’t the first meeting, everything was obviously different now. The identity and perspective had changed.

Even if she wasn’t nervous, there would still be awkwardness.

"I’ll try not to be nervous..." Su Lu took a few more sips of the warm lemon tea, trying to calm her own emotions.

Despite feeling that she had long been composed after so many years of enduring the targeted difficulties and troubles caused by Su Yukan, Zhu Xinyan, and Su Jiao in their turns, she still couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought of facing what was to come.

Because after all... it was her mother.

Even though they had never met, the word "mother" always made her heart soften whenever it was mentioned.

Su Lu’s nervousness did not abate, to the point that she couldn’t go to see Bo Jingshen in the hospital today. Besides today, she had visited Bo Jingshen in the hospital every day, and she didn’t stop even with Su Zhe’s arrival.

But today’s emotions truly were unsuitable for a visit.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Bo Jingshen.

"I can’t make it today because of some things, I’ll come over tomorrow morning. You rest well, make sure to eat properly, and don’t be picky just because the hospital food isn’t tasty."

After sending the message, a reply came in just a moment.

"Okay~ I got it."

The tilde seemed to linger with resignation.

Su Lu raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes curved a bit, and her fingers began typing on the screen again, "Feeling any better?"

"Much better," came the quick reply from the other end.

But Su Lu knew he was just saying that. She was aware that his wound showed signs of infection.

Still, he would unhesitatingly tell her he was "much better" every time she asked how he was doing.

"Still have a fever?"

"Gone."

Bo Jingshen had a slight fever due to the infection, which was quite worrying.

Before Su Lu could reply, another message popped up from him, "I’m fine, you just focus on your things, don’t worry about me."

Su Lu was about to send another message when she saw Su Zhe walking in from the entryway.

She immediately put down her phone and sat up straight. Despite having mentally prepared herself earlier, she couldn’t help feeling nervous at this moment.

She stared unblinkingly at the approaching Su Zhe and mouthed to him, "Has the person arrived?"

Su Zhe nodded and, without using gestures or deliberately lowering his voice, said normally, "The person has arrived, but considering your feelings, she decided to let you get used to the idea first..."

"Get used to the..." Su Lu’s words cut off abruptly, her mouth still slightly open, her expression unabashedly shocked.

Su Zhe stepped aside to reveal the person behind him.

A handsome man with a tall and straight stature stood there uncomfortably, eyes downcast, not daring to look at her, just standing there, as if he didn’t know what to do with his hands and feet.

Su Lu looked at him.

Actually, Su Zhe was quite annoyed with Shen Xun. It wasn’t that Shen had any faults, but when one’s identity is no longer unique, there’s naturally some imbalance in the heart.

Su Zhe used to be the only brother Su Lu had, but now he wasn’t the only one anymore, and just thinking about it made him irate.

Yet now, he still had to mediate between them.

"Lulu, this is Shen Xun," Su Zhe said.

Su Lu nodded at Shen Xun, "Uh, hello."

"You... hello." Shen Xun stuttered, not knowing he could be so nervous.

Suddenly, he regretted taking on this task, coming here on behalf of his mother...

In fact, it should have been Zhao Ying coming, but she was not as prepared as Su Zhe had said. She was simply too nervous herself.

And Shen Xun, having volunteered confidently, of course, Zhao Ying had no intention to stop him.

Only when he saw Su Lu did Shen Xun realize his nervousness belatedly, and now he somewhat regretted his eagerness to volunteer.

Now here he was, not even sure what to do with his hands or feet.

"Uh, you... I..." Shen was completely flustered, not knowing what to say, stammering without completing a sentence.

Su Lu was silent for a moment, listening to his stuttering, feeling somewhat helpless.

She already knew about her past, thus she was aware of Shen Xun’s guilt, and she understood his nervousness at this moment.
