Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Will Not Stop

Seeing Zhao Ying again, there was little difference from their meeting a few years ago.

This middle-aged woman was still the same, time seemed gentle on her, in this regard, Su Lu resembled her.

However, at that time, Bo Jingshen had thought this strong woman from Beijing exuded shrewdness.

But now, perhaps because Zhao Xiaole was present, Bo Jingshen felt that her eyes were filled with tender affection.

"Grandma!" Zhao Xiaole called her.

Zhao Ying smiled and picked him up, "What tasty treats have you brought me?"

"Pumpkin cakes! I also brought a big fish, for you and Su Xiaolu to eat together," Zhao Xiaole said as he peeked into the crayfish shop, "Where’s Su Xiaolu? I miss her!"

"She’s inside the shop, you don’t need to go in. Stay with Grandma and take a walk around, and later go back with Grandma," Zhao Ying said. "After all, crayfish isn’t suitable for little kids."

Zhao Xiaole thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright then... But who will stay with Su Xiaolu?" He looked up at Bo Jingshen, "Dad, will you stay with her?"

Bo Jingshen remained silent, simply standing still.

Zhao Ying looked at him.

Having not seen him for a few years, Zhao Ying could see that time had settled more depth and steadiness onto Bo Jingshen. Years ago, his sharpness was quite evident, not overtly aggressive, but definitely pronounced.

Now, he seemed much more steady. It wasn’t that he had lost his sharpness but that he buried it deeper.

Zhao Ying nodded, "Yes, your dad will stay."

Only then did Bo Jingshen’s gaze sharply turn to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying nodded at him, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see..." Bo Jingshen really didn’t know what to call her, paused for a moment, and then addressed her, "Ms. Zhao."

Next to them was a convenience store. Zhao Ying, carrying Zhao Xiaole, headed there, and Bo Jingshen, understanding the cue, followed.

Zhao Ying let Zhao Xiaole in to pick his favorite ice cream while she started talking to Bo Jingshen at the doorway.

"Su Lu is inside, she has been drinking."

"Drinking?" Bo Jingshen frowned, "Her health isn’t good, she shouldn’t be drinking, right?"

"Before you showed up, she hadn’t drunk for almost six years," Zhao Ying said, then suddenly looked into Bo Jingshen’s eyes, "But the moment you appeared, everything fell apart."

"If you need me to apologize," Bo Jingshen also looked at her, "I can apologize."

"No need for apologies," Zhao Ying sighed softly, "Others might not know, but I do. I’m fully aware of your difficulties back then."

Bo Jingshen fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "What does it matter. She won’t forgive me, she said it. No matter what my reasons were, she won’t forgive."

"Then will you give up?" Zhao Ying asked.

Bo Jingshen shook his head, he even smirked a little.

That smile flickered in Zhao Ying’s vision. Through that smile, she saw a different Bo Jingshen, not even the Bo Jingshen from over five years ago. Through that smile, she saw an even older version of him, the one Su Lu would rather die than part from.

Dazzling.

Captivating.

"No," Bo Jingshen said without hesitation, "If I give up, then what have I become, what have these years become? It would mean I endured all for nothing."

Zhao Ying remained silent, just quietly watching him.

Bo Jingshen hesitated, then asked, "Will you... stop me?"

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and asked, "Is Jing Ce paralyzed?"

"Yes."

"Did you do it?"

"I thought about it. I hated him enough to want to kill him myself, but no, not me. If I did that, what would I have become?" Bo Jingshen replied, "He would do anything to achieve his goals, even handle kin without hesitation. That’s him. If I did the same to him, fundamentally, wouldn’t I be no different?"

Zhao Ying nodded and continued to ask, "So, was it Jing Qiao?"

Bo Jingshen looked at her somewhat surprised but quickly realized, given Zhao Ying’s capabilities, it wasn’t strange she could find out so much.

Bo Jingshen didn’t plan on lying to her, so he simply said, "To be exact, not entirely."

Zhao Ying: "Your mother?"

Bo Jingshen nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Ying sighed softly, "I understand."

Bo Jingshen knew Zhao Ying asked these questions to decide her answers after getting his responses, so Bo Jingshen waited breathlessly.

"I won’t stop you. In fact, if Su Lu herself is willing to be entangled by you to the end, I can’t stop anything. I owe her all my life, so I will do everything to compensate her, simply put, I can’t stop any of her decisions, I will only try my best to protect her."

Zhao Ying looked into Bo Jingshen’s eyes, "However, if my grandson’s father has not done anything criminal, it naturally matters to me."

Bo Jingshen nodded, "I understand."

"So, all in all... over five years ago, asking you to stay far away from Su Lu was one of the most presumptuous things I have done. I thought I was doing what was best for her, I hoped she would be safe."

"The fact is, she was indeed safe, but she also, from that point on, never truly had a happy day. I can’t say I was wrong, but obviously, I wasn’t completely right either. So..."

Zhao Ying sighed, "So I won’t stop you, so I won’t speak on this matter, and I will find a suitable opportunity to tell her about our conversation back then. Essentially..."

Zhao Ying suddenly fell silent.

Bo Jingshen couldn’t wait for Zhao Ying’s voice and involuntarily looked at her, "Essentially?"

Zhao Ying took a deep breath, "If you’re not planning to give up, then don’t give up. If you can soften Su Lu’s heart, if you can make her forgive you, if you can change her mind, then put in a bit more effort, try a little harder, and show your best."

"If you can make my daughter happy, then strive to keep her happy. If you are the only one who can truly make her happy, then please, make her happy, I’m begging you." Zhao Ying’s eyes reddened.

That left Bo Jingshen somewhat at a loss, "Are you... okay?"

Zhao Ying blinked quickly, the moisture in her eyes rapidly dissipated.

She gave a light cough, "It’s nothing, nothing."

She took a long breath out, "I just really... don’t want to see my daughter’s tears anymore. So... if you can make her happy, please do. I no longer want to see her cry."
