Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Chapter 384

Chen Yaxi’s words, Su Lu could very much empathize with them.

She had felt the same way before, even if it seemed like her heart was empty, but just looking at her son made it gradually overflow with fulfillment.

It was as if, even without Bo Jingshen in her life, although slightly regrettable, having her son seemed to already be enough for happiness.

"So later I just couldn’t be bothered to care whether they acknowledged it or not," Chen Yaxi shrugged nonchalantly, "As long as Gu Xin didn’t shirk responsibility, that was fine by me."

Speaking of this, Chen Yaxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Maybe people tend to be masochistic, huh? As soon as I stopped caring about what they thought, they started coming to me."

"Oh?" Su Lu chuckled softly.

Chen Yaxi thought for a moment and said, "It probably had something to do with the fact that I didn’t let Xiao Mo take Gu Xin’s surname at first; he took mine. His name was originally Chen Yimo. To be honest, my parents were thrilled. They felt that whether Gu Xin was in the picture didn’t matter anymore."

"It sounds like..." Su Lu felt that saying this might be a bit unfair to Gu Xin, but it did seem to be the case, so she added, "...Gu Xin is like a sperm donor?"

Chen Yaxi burst into laughter.

Gu Xin, who had just returned from playing with the child, froze completely upon hearing this.

Bo Jingshen stood beside him, looking rather schadenfreude.

But Su Lu hadn’t noticed their return, so her next words came out immediately, "Not to mention, if you put it that way, Bo Jingshen also resembles a sperm donor."

She paused and then emphasized, "Even more so. At least your Gu Xin has been with you and the child these past years."

Bo Jingshen deflated like a balloon, suddenly downcast.

It was Gu Xin’s turn to revel in schadenfreude.

In fact, neither of them was better than the other, and it was unclear why they were taking such delight in each other’s troubles.

"Mommy!" The child couldn’t understand what the adults were saying, but he had just finished playing and was quite excited, even the usually shy Gu Yimo was louder.

Only then did Su Lu fall silent and turned around to see the sulky Bo Jingshen, knowing that he must have heard her recent words, and she couldn’t help but want to laugh.

But Bo Jingshen had nothing to feel wronged about, what Su Lu had said was true, it just made Bo Jingshen more sympathetic.

He became even more considerate towards Su Lu, so when they were playing together in the swimming pool on the suite terrace that night, Chen Yaxi whispered with a laugh, "I notice you’re quite cunning, huh?"

Su Lu raised an eyebrow, "Oh? How am I cunning?"

"Hey, did you say those things during the day on purpose for Bo Jingshen to hear?" Chen Yaxi suggested, "I saw that he was practically ready to kneel and wait on you afterward."

Su Lu chuckled, "I’m not that mean, it was just a coincidence."

As Su Lu spoke, she arched her eyebrow lightly. Whether others believed it or not, Chen Yaxi certainly didn’t.

Chen Yaxi sighed, "Gu Xin and I never thought that you would get entangled with Bo Jingshen again. Although unexpected, it wasn’t incredibly surprising to see you two back together. It’s like..."

It’s like things were supposed to be this way.

As if these two people, after all their twists and turns, were bound to come back together again.

"Karmic ties, I guess," Su Lu shrugged, "I wasn’t planning on being together with him so soon, I’ll drag it out a bit longer."

Chen Yaxi snickered and winked at her, "A little push and pull, some flirting adds fun, ’proving we’re still young.’ Not to brag, but my charm is still quite strong."

Su Lu raised an eyebrow, "Who would disagree? A woman is like a blooming flower at thirty."

Neither she nor Chen Yaxi lacked admirers.

"Exactly," Chen Yaxi smiled and swam forward, just as Gu Xin swam back to her. Seeing her smiling, he asked, "What are you laughing about with Xiaolu?"

"Talking about how we’ve still got our charm," Chen Yaxi said.

Gu Xin’s eyes twitched, and his expression turned somewhat tense, "What now? Did someone else come to bother you again?"

Just from hearing these words, it was clear this wasn’t the first time.

The swimming pool was not very big to begin with. It was a part of the suite’s terrace, which is why Bo Jingshen could also vaguely hear the conversation over here and immediately became somewhat alert.

Then he heard Gu Xin look towards Su Lu, saying, "And you too, right? I remember a couple of years ago, there was a young and promising artist who publicly pursued you?"

Su Lu waved her hands and said, "Don’t talk about me; the two of you discuss your own thing."

Gu Xin took Chen Yaxi aside to have a good chat.

Bo Jingshen felt bitter inside, wanting to have a proper chat with Su Lu but worried about the two children, could only stay by the side of Gu Yimo and Zhao Xiaole, with Gu Yimo wearing Zhao Xiaole’s little duck swim ring and Zhao Xiaole pushing the duck ring.

Zhao Xiaole, seeing the troubled look on Bo Jingshen’s face, couldn’t help but say, "Ah Shen, why don’t you go and keep Su Xiaolu company?"

"No, I can’t relax about you guys..." Bo Jingshen said.

Zhao Xiaole said, "I started swimming when I was just a few months old, and I won a freestyle swimming competition among children."

Bo Jingshen thought about it and still shook his head, "No."

"Then how about we sit by the shore? That should be alright, right?" Zhao Xiaole was very considerate.

Bo Jingshen finally agreed.

The two children went to play with water at the edge of the pool, and it was then that Bo Jingshen swam over to Su Lu’s side.

Gu Yimo turned to ask Zhao Xiaole, "Big brother Xiaole, why do you call him Ah Shen instead of Daddy?"

Zhao Xiaole laughed and said, "Because I’m a big kid now, and sometimes it feels closer to call someone by their name, right? My mom also sometimes tells me to call her ’son,’ and at other times ’Zhao Xiaole.’"

Gu Yimo thought there was some sense to this, and nodded thoughtfully.

That night, after Gu Xin had blow-dried Gu Yimo’s hair and applied the lotion, Gu Yimo said in a babyish voice, "Gu Xin, thank you."

Gu Xin was completely stunned, in a blink, after being a dad for five years, he had become Gu Xin.

But that was something to be said later.

At this moment, Bo Jingshen had swum up beside Su Lu.

"Who publicly pursued you?" His voice was low.

Su Lu was originally at the edge of the Boundaryless Pool, peering down below, which was actually quite frightening, considering the height.

But after getting used to it, one would feel the view was vast and expansive.

Hearing Bo Jingshen’s voice, she turned around.

A blush swept across her cheeks, to be fair, Bo Jingshen was in very good shape, with clearly defined muscles.

Although Gu Xin was also in good shape and hadn’t neglected exercising, his physique was clearly not as sculpted as Bo Jingshen’s.

And...

Su Lu’s gaze would always involuntarily drift to the large tattoo on his back shoulder.

Every time she saw it, she would still feel a jolt at heart.

At this moment, she was somewhat distracted, and absentmindedly said, "Hmm? What public pursuit?"

Then she heard Bo Jingshen urgently say, "Don’t brush me off, I just heard everything!"

Not that he was angry, but truly speaking, this tone of voice was probably somewhat childish.
