Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Disappointment in Someone’s Failure to Meet Expectations

Zhao Xiaole had absolutely no objections, he was actually quite attached to his mom, but he also understood that his mom had her own things to do.

So, if his mom said something like this to him, he usually wouldn’t refuse. Even if he really didn’t want Su Lu to go and wished Su Lu would stay with him, he wouldn’t make a scene or act spoilt. He typically just acted extra well-behaved and coquettishly with Su Lu.

Like right now, Zhao Xiaole had no objections.

He only said one sentence, "Mom, then you have to promise me that you’ll definitely take me to Ocean Park’s water park and amusement park, okay?"

Su Lu knew that Zhao Xiaole’s trip to Feng City was specifically for these three places, so she immediately nodded her head, "Of course."

"Okay, mom can be at ease, I will play nicely with godmom today," Zhao Xiaole said smilingly as he bit into his sandwich.

After mother and son had finished breakfast, it wasn’t long before Cheng You Ran arrived.

In a bit of a hurry.

"Hey, so I’ll take Zhao Xiaole to the hospital then? You don’t have any objections, do you?" Cheng You Ran asked her.

Su Lu was startled for a moment, "Why would I have any objections?"

"Ah, I mean... just that it’s a hospital after all, and I was worried that you might feel it’s not very sanitary, you know, with germs and such. People usually think that way, right?" Cheng You Ran blinked.

Cheng You Ran hadn’t thought that way before because Zhao Xiaole and Su Lu hadn’t been in Feng City. The only opportunities for them to spend time together were usually when Cheng You Ran had vacations to visit the mother and son in Beijing, so this situation had never come up before.

But now, things were different, and she was afraid Su Lu might have concerns.

Su Lu started laughing, "What’s not good about it? Both his life and mine were saved in a hospital. Besides, he’s a big boy now, his immunity is much stronger, it’s fine. Just make sure he washes his hands before eating. It can’t be that sensitive. If we go by what you’re saying, what will you do when you have kids in the future? Are you going to just stop working?"

Cheng You Ran chuckled, "I knew you’d be the most understanding."

Su Lu handed over the child’s things to her, "Here, this bag has his stuff in it: his own little water bottle, cup, cutlery, and lunch box; and wet wipes, tissue, and a handkerchief are all here. There’s also a change of clothes. If he gets sweaty or dirties his clothes, just change him."

Su Lu instructed her bit by bit, "Oh, right, there’s also divided portions of milk powder here, remember to mix it for him to drink."

Then Su Lu picked out another cartoon backpack, "This has his own little snacks and toys inside, hawthorn sticks, cheese sticks, and stuff like that. Don’t let him eat too much."

Cheng You Ran took the two bags, hung them where they should be hung, and then picked up Zhao Xiaole, "Alright! Then we’re off. Good boy, say bye to mommy."

Zhao Xiaole smiled at Su Lu with a giddy grin, waving his little hand, "Bye mom. Can I eat instant noodles tonight?"

"Then would this month’s quota for junk food be used up?" Su Lu asked.

Su Lu never completely forbade her child from eating snacks or junk food, after all, the world is filled with various kinds of food that aren’t very healthy, yet are very tempting. Prohibiting them would only make his stomach too delicate.

It was better to let him gradually get used to these foods.

Thus, Zhao Xiaole had the opportunity to eat junk food four times a month; he usually controlled it very well, just once a week, and he was really good about it.

As for snacks, it was just five pieces each day, no matter what snacks you want to eat, just five pieces a day.

At this moment, the snacks packed in his bag were exactly that: two hawthorn sticks and three cheese sticks.

Zhao Xiaole obediently nodded his head.

Cheng Youran greatly admired Su Lu for this, as no one had experienced motherhood before, and it was her first time, but Cheng Youran felt that Su Xiaolu was better than other first-time mothers.

After Cheng Youran left with Zhao Xiaole,

the room suddenly quieted down, and Su Lu felt somewhat at a loss for a moment.

She stood there, dazed, not knowing what to do for a moment. It might have been a few minutes before she gradually regained her composure.

Quietly, she walked to the dining table, gathered the dishes and cups, and washed them clean in the kitchen sink.

Then she wiped the table and made herself a cup of coffee.

Afterward, she sat on the sofa, slowly sipping her coffee, her gaze wandering off, occasionally glancing at a certain spot on the sofa.

Once, a drunken man had lain there.

After finishing her coffee, Su Lu finally collected herself.

She went back to her room to tidy up, then walked to the entrance to grab her car keys. Before leaving, Su Lu saw an old cap on the coat rack, possibly left there at some point by Cheng Youran.

Su Lu took it down, put it on her head, casually tied her soft, long hair at the back, opened and closed the door, and stepped into the elevator.

As a black SUV drove from its parking space towards the exit of the complex, a languid figure stood behind the glass of a neighboring building’s floor-to-ceiling window.

He wore an old T-shirt, the collar slightly stretched and hanging loosely, looking very comfortable at a glance, and baggy jeans that hung loosely around the waist, held up just at the hips, the legs a bit long, stepped on underfoot.

His hair stood up messily in tufts, and his whole appearance exuded a casual air.

He held a white porcelain cup, steam wafting from the hot coffee within, as he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking out.

Watching the black car drive out of the complex.

He sighed softly, "Ah."

From the Bluetooth earphones in his ears, a deep male voice came through, "What are you sighing about?"

"Hm? Nothing. Your sister really lets me down, tsk." The "tsk" at the end of his sentence carried a sense of disappointment.

The voice on the other end laughed, "You talk as if my sister isn’t your sister."

"Tsk," Su Zhe sighed again, "Sometimes I really don’t know whether to feel pity for her or be angry at her."

"What’s wrong with her?" Shen Xun asked on the other end, "Actually, I’ve been a bit worried since she came to Feng City this time. I always felt it wasn’t quite right."

"Yeah, your concerns have probably come true with this silly girl." Su Zhe frowned, "Forget it, let’s leave her be. If anything happens, we’ll protect her. When you weren’t around before, I would risk my life to protect her. Now that you’re here too, can’t we protect her?"

"Fair point," Shen Xun laughed.

Su Lu had no idea that her brother had witnessed her actions.

After she drove out of the complex, she followed the navigation’s directions onto the road.

"Turn left at the end of the road ahead, then in five hundred meters merge onto the ramp. You are 29.5 kilometers away from Feng City First Detention Center."

Su Lu glanced briefly at her phone screen and pressed the accelerator, turning the steering wheel at the end of the road.
