Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 357

Ying Xi was purely in love with someone.

When he met Jiang Li, he was just a boy who knew nothing but gaming, an eSports superstar who was young and skilled, originally possessing a future that was unlimitedly splendid and bright.

But he was forcibly involved in Jiang Li’s world, without any chance to refuse.

Without any choice, he could only accept that this person would sporadically appear in his life.

Before that, Ying Xi had never liked anyone else.

And after that, he probably wouldn’t fall for anyone else either.

He wasn’t even gay, to begin with; he didn’t like men, but it seemed he couldn’t bring himself to like women anymore either. He simply, purely liked this one person.

Yet this person had brought him profound pain.

Just thinking about it made Su Lu feel sorry for Ying Xi.

"So, what about Ah Li...?" Su Lu couldn’t help but ask.

"He seems to be planning to find a way, but right now there really isn’t any way to think of," Bo Jingshen said.

Su Lu understood; indeed, what could he think of? If it hadn’t been for Ying Heng coming between them, then everything would be negotiable. But Ying Heng had placed a gap between the two that seemed as wide as a lightyear.

And what’s most important was that Ying Heng was no longer there.

"If you’re worried, let’s go have a meal with Jiang Li tomorrow," Bo Jingshen said. "Let you see for yourself how miserable he is."

Su Lu couldn’t help but glance at Bo Jingshen, "All the good luck in the world seems to be taken by you."

"Ah, forget I said anything." Su Lu quickly added, mainly because she suddenly remembered that Bo Jingshen might not be aware of the recent popular sayings.

Bo Jingshen noticed her concern and chuckled softly, "I understand."

He asked, "So, do you want to go?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Lu nodded, "Yes."

"Alright, then I’ll set it up," Bo Jingshen said.

"How come your brother... Jing Su suddenly came to Feng City?" Su Lu looked at him.

Bo Jingshen uttered a sound, obviously not able to say it was because he and Jiang Li got drunk, which made Jiang Su come over in a huff.

So he simply said, "Oh, the person he loves is getting married to someone else, so he came over to clear his mind."

Su Lu: "...Oh."

She didn’t ask for details.

She refrained from asking because, well, she did have some knowledge of it. She heard it from Shen Xun.

"After thinking about it, this bunch of people are all a complete mess. A complete mess," Bo Jingshen said, with a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.

Su Lu didn’t understand at first what he meant by "this bunch of people" being a mess. Then Bo Jingshen’s next sentence made it clear to her.

"So, it’s okay if you don’t forgive me right away; anyway, they are all a mess. As long as you forgive me before they sort out their issues, that’s already good enough," he said.

Su Lu understood what he meant: both Jing Su and Jiang Li were a mess when it came to matters of the heart.

So, with them taking the lower rung, he wouldn’t feel too bad; as long as Su Lu forgave him before they cleared up their messy feelings, that would do.

"It’s not that there aren’t any good examples," Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment and realized Su Zhe was single, Shen Xun was single, and that Zhao Tong acted like a fool, naturally having no girl interested in him.

With each and every one a bachelor, how could there be a good example? Who could set the example? Cheng Youran? She’s practically an old maid!

Seeing him raise his eyebrows, Su Lu knew he didn’t believe her and laughed, "I’m telling you, you really shouldn’t be so doubtful; there truly is a role model, and you’d be convinced once I mention who."

"Oh? Then tell me," Bo Jingshen said, all ears.

Su Lu looked into Bo Jingshen’s eyes, seriously asking, "Don’t know if you still remember..."

"Hmm?"

"I had an ex-husband?"

"..."

"His name was Gu Xin?"

"..."

"He had a wife named Chen Yaxi? Not long after he and I got divorced, Chen Yaxi got pregnant, and now the child can ’hold soy sauce’ just like Zhao Xiaole."

"..." Bo Jingshen frowned, "I almost forgot such a person existed." He really wanted to ask, was he still not dead?! After all, no matter what Gu Xin was like, no matter how much time had passed, the prefix ’Su Lu’s ex-husband’ was always a thorn in Bo Jingshen’s heart that he couldn’t smooth over.

But he felt that saying such a thing at this moment wasn’t quite appropriate. It would make Su Xiaolu think he was unfriendly.

So Bo Jingshen’s words were on the tip of his tongue, but he took a twist, and what came out was, "How is he... doing lately? Have you been in touch with him these past years?"

"We haven’t been in touch much, but we’ve always been in touch. He’s fine. For the Gu Family’s development in the past few years, you would know better than I do as you’re in Feng City," Su Lu said very fairly.

But Bo Jingshen responded quite... emotionally.

To Su Lu mentioning the Gu Family’s development in the past few years, Bo Jingshen replied,

"Hmm, it’s just so-so."

"..."

Of course, when compared to Boss’s development in the country over the past few years, the Gu Family certainly couldn’t match.

But they were better than some and had developed quite well.

"Anyway, Chen Yaxi stopped modeling later and started live streaming and selling goods online instead, which she’s quite good at, no less profitable than when she was a model."

"She gave birth to what?"

Su Lu felt something was off when Bo Jingshen said this; he definitely still held hostility toward Gu Xin and his wife.

Otherwise, the proper question would be if they had a son or a daughter.

What did he mean by ’gave birth to what’? Of course, it’s a person; what else could she give birth to?

Su Lu gave him a look, "A daughter. She looks like Chen Yaxi, really pretty, like a doll."

Bo Jingshen didn’t believe it, "Prettier than Zhao Xiaole?"

"How can you compare little boys and little girls? Each has their own charm," Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen shook his head, "I don’t believe it."

Su Lu laughed in spite of herself and took out her phone, "Alright, alright, I’ll find a picture for you."

She found Chen Yaxi’s WeChat, opened the Moments, and clicked on the picture of her daughter, handing the phone to Bo Jingshen, "Look, isn’t she cute?"

Bo Jingshen glanced at it and laughed, "She’s okay, not even close to my son."

"..."

"Not to mention who my son was born to. You’re prettier than Chen Yaxi, so obviously the daughter she had can’t compare to the son you had." Bo Jingshen’s smile grew wider, "I won’t even bring up the fact that I’m better looking than Gu Xin."

Su Lu finally saw the teasing in his smile, realizing that he was joking.

Su Lu furrowed her brows, "You’ve been joking with me all this time?"

Bo Jingshen reached out and pinched her cheek, "I’m complimenting you."

"You’re clearly complimenting yourself!" Su Lu glared at him, then saw his face suddenly come closer.

Her pupils contracted, yet she didn’t move.
