Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 227 Reunion

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Reunion

As their eyes met, a strange corner of his heart began to soften gradually.

"I..." Su Lu couldn’t help but stand up.

Zhao Ying had been walking hesitantly; upon seeing her get up, she hurried forward a few steps, "You can sit down, you need to sit and lie down and rest more; after all, your condition is still unstable..."

During the time in the hospital when Zhao Ying looked after Su Lu, doctors often said the same thing.

Actually, Zhao Ying remembered every word the doctors had said during that time.

"Please sit down." Su Zhe saw they both seemed somewhat at a loss, so he proactively took on the role of host.

At this point, any further resistance was useless; though a tiny corner of his heart still clung to the selfish thought that it would be better if they had never appeared—that way Suzhe would forever have only Su Lu as his sister, without any real brothers or a real mother.

She would always be closest to him, Su Zhe.

But reason and the softer corners of his heart made Su Zhe genuinely happy to see more people care for Su Lu.

"Ah." Zhao Ying responded, hesitated for a moment, but then went to sit next to Su Lu.

"Then I’ll ask them to serve the food," Su Zhe said, reaching to press a bell and summon the waiter.

The dishes were quickly served one after another.

Shen Xun said, "See if it suits your taste, if not, we can change it; you need to eat well."

"It’s to my taste, all foods that I like, thoughtful indeed," Su Lu said, smiling at Shen Xun.

Shen Xun’s gaze stalled, and he appeared dazed, his expression suddenly becoming uneasy—not the unpleasant kind, but clearly... similar to a kind of surprised delight.

In fact, Su Lu had never blamed him, but he could not help his inner guilt, even if she said she did not blame him, Shen Xun probably could not let it go.

"The dishes were chosen by Mom; she remembered what you liked when we were at the hospital," Shen Xun said.

Su Lu turned to look at Zhao Ying, their eyes meeting—not by coincidence, but because Zhao Ying had been watching her the whole time.

"Thank you," Su Lu smiled at her.

Zhao Ying nodded repeatedly, "Ah, don’t mention it, just good to see you enjoy the food, eat more."

With that, she picked the bones out of the fish meat carefully and placed the fish onto Su Lu’s plate.

Through the meal, if one were to speak of discomfort, the atmosphere had always been somewhat uncomfortable.

But as for feeling pain, there was none at all; despite the discomfort, Su Lu always felt a reassurance.

After the meal, Shen Xun and Zhao Ying accompanied Su Lu back to her room.

Su Zhe, quite perceptive, did not follow them, "You go sit in Lulu’s room and talk for a while; I won’t go, I have a video conference later."

Shen Xun stared intently at Su Zhe, his gaze serious and focused, "Okay, really... thank you so much."

Su Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly but remained silent.

In the room, Su Lu fiddled with the teaware to make them tea, the teaware she’d brought felt familiar in her hands, and in no time, she pushed two cups of tea towards them.

Holding the small cup between her fingertips, Zhao Ying felt the scalding temperature, and for a long while, she didn’t want to drink.

"Did you bring everything?" Zhao Ying turned to ask Shen Xun.

Shen Xun drank his tea then nodded, "Brought everything, I’ll go get it now."

He looked at Su Lu, "Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go get something." Then he got up and left.

Su Lu was puzzled, "Something?"

"Yes," Zhao Ying nodded repeatedly, "I... have been to the orphanage."

Upon hearing this, Su Lu gently nodded, "Yes, I know." She looked at Zhao Ying, "I don’t know if it’s a premonition, but anyway, I had called Dean Li. She didn’t tell me about your visit to the orphanage, but I guessed as much."

"I found out that after... you left me, you had gone through a really tough time, probably because it was too tough that you forgot what happened before," Zhao Ying’s voice was choked with emotion. Despite being a strong and resilient woman, she always found herself easily tearful when talking about her younger daughter.

Su Lu pursed her lips and nodded slightly, "Yes, I... don’t remember."

Zhao Ying quickly said, "Don’t worry! I’m not trying to make you remember those bad things. I just... I want you to know that you were also happy as a child."

Su Lu smiled, "Okay. Are they photos from my childhood?"

"Yes, you used to love taking photos when you were little. Whenever it was you aimed at, your big eyes would stare round and straight at the camera. Back then, people said you had a good sense for the camera, and that you might even become an actress when you grew up." Zhao Ying laughed, finding joy in talking about her daughter’s childhood.

However, in previous years, she would start crying while laughing.

Now, there was no need to cry. Her daughter was right in front of her.

It wasn’t long before Shen Xun brought the items, still catching his breath from evidently running.

"Why are you panting?" Zhao Ying glanced at him.

The difference in treatment between son and daughter was quite apparent.

Shen Xun: "Huff... Qianqian’s and Lulu’s room is not on the same floor. The elevator took forever, so I ran down to fetch it and ran back up."

Zhao Ying said, "Panting after running just a little—this is it? And you’re the Captain of the search and rescue team?"

Shen Xun was somewhat helpless. He was used to joking with Ms. Zhao on normal days, but...

"Mom, in front of Qianqian... Lulu, be a bit more considerate and save me some face."

Su Lu heard the effort in his changing how he addressed her, and said, "Just call me by the name you guys use, no need to bother changing how you address me. Before, did I used to be called Shen Qianqian?"

"Yes," Zhao Ying nodded, then turned to Shen Xun and nodded her head toward him. "He came up with the name for you. That year on his birthday, when asked what gift he wanted, he said he hoped his little sister would be named Qianqian."

Su Lu smiled at Shen Xun, "Then just call me Qianqian." She then reached out, "May I see the photos?"

Shen Xun passed her the bag in his hands, filled with several hefty photo albums.

Seeing the substantial weight, Su Lu realized that Zhao Ying’s statement about her loving to take photos was true—she really did enjoy photography.

It was also clear that from a young age she really was a beloved princess. Just because she liked taking photos, so many were taken of her.

Almost...

Su Lu opened the album and stared at the dates meticulously noted. After carefully flipping through several pages, it became apparent.

Almost every day had photos, every single day.

It seemed as if... by slowly going through this pile of albums, she could almost trace back to that particular day, having an idea of what might have been done.

She had never felt this cherished before.

From childhood to adulthood.

This was different from Su Zhe’s kindness; this was another feeling—not the pitiful adopted daughter of the Su Family.

But rather, someone’s little girl, treasured dearly and held close to the heart.
