Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 275: For Her

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: For Her

Cheng Youran said, "As long as you can convince your own heart, that’s enough. Su Xiaolu, in this world, it’s easy to deceive others, but it’s hardest to deceive your own heart."

Su Lu couldn’t find the words for a moment, she fell silent for a few seconds, her gaze firmed up a bit, then slowly shook her head, "I’m not being soft-hearted."

Cheng Youran had no intention of pressing her further, so he nodded, "Yeah, as long as you’re clear in your own heart, that’s what matters."

The two were silent for a while.

Cheng Youran finished his cocoa in the cup, finding it tasted good, and asked her, "Hey, where did you get the cocoa just now? I’m going to make another cup."

Su Lu frowned and said, "Isn’t that bad? Don’t drink anymore, it’s expired. How about I order you a milk tea?"

Cheng Youran waved his hand, "No worries, a little dirt never killed anyone, it tastes perfectly normal. Order something tasty to comfort me."

Su Lu nodded, while looking on her phone to decide which takeout would be best to order.

While discussing with Cheng Youran, she said, "Since you’re not planning on working anymore, why don’t you find a day to come with me and take Zhao Xiaole to the amusement park? He came to Feng City just for that."

"I’d rather not," Cheng Youran waved his hand dismissively, "I want to properly rest when I’m off. I’ve been so busy lately I barely had time to touch the ground, and I’m not even hiding the fact that I feel like I’m close to working myself to death! Let Su Zhe accompany you, or Zhao Tong, oh, or Qiao Li, ask Qiao Li to go with you."

Su Lu was originally going to insist, but seeing Cheng Youran’s thinner face and sharper chin, she eventually gave up the idea of pressing any further.

She nodded, "Alright then."

Cheng Youran made himself another cocoa, taking up his cup to drink, "Oh right, one day isn’t enough for playing there. Don’t underestimate Feng City’s leisure points, which have only popped up in recent years, but the scale is massive – one day is not enough. It needs at least three days: one for the amusement park, one for the water park, and one for Ocean Park. That’s the bare minimum, and it’s still just a cursory experience. If you want to enjoy it well, it’s best to stay in the hotel inside the park and play for a week. There are weekly family package tickets online, you should check them out."

"Oh, let me check." Su Lu opened the ticket booking app on her phone.

After a while, she said, "Ocean Hotel? Xiaolu Hotel?"

"Yeah, Ocean Hotel is the one where, ah, the best rooms have transparent walls, which face the Ocean Park’s aquarium. You can see all kinds of fish while lying in bed. I have a fear of deep water, so I can’t stay in those rooms. If Zhao Xiaole likes it, you can try it with him."

"What about Xiaolu Hotel?" Su Lu was somewhat resigned. After all, she was often called Su Xiaolu herself.

"The best rooms there have a view of a giraffe enclosure outside the window, and in the morning you can see giraffes poking their heads in," said Cheng Youran.

Su Lu blinked, "That sounds quite interesting."

"Hmm," Cheng Youran thought for a moment then said, "Interesting or not, well anyway... did you know giraffes have tongues that are this long..."

Cheng Youran gesturing with her hands, showed an exaggerated length, "And they’re black too. To be honest, I think... never mind."

Su Lu looked at her with a laugh and a helplessness, "You really know how to throw cold water on things!"

"Can’t help it, I’m old, no more childlike wonder. You’re going to tell me you didn’t have the same thought as me when you heard it?" Cheng Youran eyed her, "That’s why I said, if Zhao Xiaole likes it, you can try it with him."

Su Lu nodded, "Alright, I’ll ask him later."

Cheng Youran squinted his eyes, feeling sleepy, and said quietly, "Hey, the best rooms in these two hotels, ones where you can see either fish or giraffes, they’re family suites. They’re generally for parents bringing children, because otherwise, for just adults, most would share my earlier sentiment and wouldn’t want to waste money on such rooms."

Su Lu blinked her eyes, "Hmm? So what?"

"So, a family suite. It’s a big one, with a living room and two bedrooms, one of which is specially designed as a themed children’s room. The other is the master bedroom, which means... you either call Su Zhe, or Zhao Tong, or... Qiao Li, to go with you. It’s going to be exhausting for a woman to take a child to such a large park by herself; you won’t be able to handle it on your own. Anyway, since the family suite tickets are so expensive, don’t waste them."

"I... I’ll consider it," said Su Lu.

Cheng Youran raised his eyebrows when he heard this. If she were to call Su Zhe or Zhao Tong, there would naturally be no need to consider, what’s there to think about asking the child’s uncle along? Since she said she would consider, Cheng Youran knew for sure she was referring to Qiao Li.

Cheng Youran placed his empty cup on the coffee table and slumped down onto the couch, "Alright, I’m going to take a nap."

Not long after, Su Zhe’s call came through, letting her know Cheng Youran was there and that he and Qiao Li had gone to buy takeout from a restaurant.

That was convenient, as Su Lu was too lazy to order delivery herself.

When Su Zhe and Qiao Li arrived bearing bags of food, Zhao Xiaole had just woken up with a hungry belly, wondering what Su Lu had planned for eating.

Cheng Youran didn’t seem to have an appetite, probably truly exhausted. Despite having slept for a bit, his complexion hadn’t improved, but instead looked even worse.

He waved his hand, saying he wouldn’t eat and asked them to start without him; he’d go to the bedroom to sleep a while longer.

Su Lu took out a cleaned microwaveable meal container and filled it with some food just for him.

Then she sat down to eat with Su Zhe and Qiao Li.

Su Lu was somewhat unsure how to face Su Zhe because through Qiao Li, she learned that Su Zhe had asked him to visit the detention center, which is why he went.

Meaning, Su Zhe knew about it all along.

And also knew she had been to the detention center.

Of course, Su Lu didn’t quite know how to face Su Zhe.

But Su Zhe seemed to sense her discomfiture and, as he always had no intention of troubling her or embarrassing her in any way.

He simply cared for his sister.

Therefore, Su Zhe just glanced at her, noticing her somewhat helpless demeanor, then looked down and said softly, "I’m not exactly clear on the specifics, but if you want to know, I can look into it."

He was talking about Bo Jingshen’s situation.

Su Lu pursed her lips and said nothing. Her heart wasn’t exactly at ease. She knew Su Zhe was doing all this for her. He hadn’t told her because he feared it would upset her. After all, she had moved far, far away, hoping, to some extent, to distance herself from that person’s news.

And now, his willingness to investigate and ask around was because he saw she had visited the detention center and thought she might want to know.

Qiao Li on the side was very quiet. He peeled the prawns, removed the veins, and took out all the bones from the fish, placing them into Zhao Xiaole’s bowl.

Zhao Xiaole ate joyously, smiling sweetly at Qiao Li. The profound and mysterious things his uncle said to his mother, without beginning or end, were beyond his understanding.

Moreover, whenever the adults had serious matters to discuss, Zhao Xiaole was always sensible enough not to interrupt.
