Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 274: Why is that?

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Why is that?

Su Lu hadn’t quite caught on yet and replied, "Huh?"

What about the WALL-E robot?

But Zhao Xiaole’s eyes lit up quickly; he had clearly seen WALL-E and exclaimed, "WALL-E robot!"

Su Lu then also realized what Cheng Youran was referring to with the WALL-E robot.

She couldn’t help but laugh, "Still using memes, I see your mood must be alright."

Cheng Youran curled his lip and gave her a sidelong glance, without any intention of arguing with her.

What Su Lu hadn’t expected was, "It seems like Qiao Li knows your new boss?"

"There’s nothing surprising about that; we all graduated from the same school. Su Zhe and Qiao Li are my seniors," said Cheng Youran, "The guy with the surname Lei is even one year ahead of them."

Su Lu raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Can’t tell at all, he looks so young."

Young and good-looking.

She shouldn’t have mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Cheng Youran grew angry again, "Exactly! So what did I say wrong? He looks the way he does; if I say he’s a pretty boy, it’s not wrong, is it? Besides, I didn’t even know he was listening behind us. Just because of that, he’s been targeting me for so long; it’s sickening!"

Su Lu felt that it was better not to bring up these issues, to save Cheng Youran from not getting over his agitation.

When they drove back home, Zhao Xiaole had already fallen asleep, snugly nestled in his car seat, and remained asleep as Su Lu carried him inside. She placed him on the bed and the little guy turned over and continued sleeping.

Su Lu stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door, then made a cup of hot cocoa to hand to Cheng Youran, "Here, drink something sweet; it’s good for your mood."

After a few sips, Cheng Youran sighed comfortably, "Ah..." Then he frowned slightly, realizing something, "Where did the cocoa come from?"

Su Lu nodded toward the kitchen, "It was in the cupboard, I..."

She trailed off.

Cheng Youran’s complexion, which eased a bit with the sweet drink, quickly turned gloomy again, and through gritted teeth he asked, "Su Xiaolu, you haven’t come back for more than five and close to six years..."

Su Lu looked awkward, "Ah, uh... I thought you had bought it."

"I’ve never stayed here! Why would I buy cocoa and leave it here!" Cheng Youran squeezed out a sentence.

In fact, Su Lu hadn’t expected it either. She had just whipped up two packets without thinking—it smelled good, and how was she supposed to know it had been left there from her past?

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Youran said, "Forget it, it’s not dirty..." He hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly grew nervous, "You didn’t make any for Xiaole, did you?"

"No, the little guy is quite happy. Do you think he’s like you? Needing sweets to lift his spirits?" Su Lu reached out to take his cup, "Maybe... better not to drink it?"

But Cheng Youran wouldn’t let go, holding the cup, "It’s already drunk, might as well finish it."

Su Lu silently thought about whether there was any medicine for diarrhea in the medicine box, then suddenly realized—if the cocoa was expired, then the diarrhea medicine probably...

"What did you do this morning?" Cheng Youran asked, pulling off the hair tie from her head, letting down the ponytail that had always been neatly tied, her hair cascading down her back and removing the sharpness from her demeanor, softening her outline with a gentle edge.

Her clear, bright eyes stared straight at Su Lu, "You wouldn’t abandon Zhao Xiaole to attend to private or public matters that urgently. So, what did you do?"

In fact, Cheng Youran had considered one possibility.

But she wasn’t sure, so she watched Su Lu intently.

After a long silence, Su Lu softly said, "I went to the detention center."

"You went to see..." Cheng Youran hadn’t finished her sentence when her eyes suddenly widened, "What did you do there?!"

Su Lu thought about it and decided to tell her.

As she explained, the surprise in Cheng Youran’s widening eyes grew and grew.

With each word said, it became more astonishing.

By the end, Cheng Youran had completely forgotten why she was feeling down earlier; who had the mind for that? Su Lu’s predicament was clearly more pressing.

"So you’re saying... you mean he..." Cheng Youran couldn’t even bring herself to utter the words "went to jail."

Although Cheng Youran held many grievances against Bo Jingshen due to Su Lu’s issues, she had met Bo Jingshen and knew just how outstanding he was.

It was the typical case of someone who learns everything quickly and does everything right.

How could this have happened?

Cheng Youran pursed her lips and asked seriously, "But why? There’s no reason."

Cheng Youran thought about when Bo Jingshen was hurt, "Even if someone had to go to jail, he was the victim at that time; others should have been the ones to go. Why him?"

Su Lu shook her head, "I don’t know. I... I just don’t know."

To be honest, she was too confused. Ever since she knew about Bo Jingshen’s situation, she had been in chaos.

So it wasn’t just that she didn’t know why. She hadn’t even thought deeply about it. Now that Cheng Youran had asked, Su Lu finally seriously considered the question: why indeed.

Cheng Youran’s brows were furrowed, looking at Su Lu with a worried expression, "Lu, you..."

"Hm?"

"Tell me the truth. Are you..."

It was as if Su Lu guessed what Cheng Youran was going to ask, so even without Cheng Youran finishing, Su Lu shook her head, "No."

"Then why did you go?"

"..." Su Lu was silent. Indeed, why did she go? Even she didn’t know why.

She couldn’t find an answer, only feeling as if she should go see for herself, or else something seemed off. She couldn’t describe how it was off, or why, just that it was.

Cheng Youran said, "If it were someone else, it might be out of hatred, to feel satisfied seeing the other person in a bad state and so on. But definitely not you; you’re not that kind of person. So you..."

Su Lu remained silent.

Cheng Youran furrowed his brows and asked, "Did you... feel pity?"

Su Lu was silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking her head, "I didn’t."

Cheng Youran asked again, "Then why didn’t you agree to Qiao Li?"

"That seems... to have no necessary causal relationship?" Su Lu blinked, "It’s not because I still have any nostalgia or infatuation, so I didn’t agree to Qiao Li. My not agreeing to Qiao Li doesn’t prove that I’m soft-hearted or still infatuated."

"Otherwise, why wouldn’t you agree to Qiao Li? He treats you so well, regards Zhao Xiaole as his own, gets along well with all of your family members, your brothers, your mother, your friend, me; everyone has nothing but praise for him. Zhao Xiaole also really likes him. What hesitation do you have that you wouldn’t even give him a chance to try?"
