Chapter 387: Chapter 387

"I’m Bo Jingshen." As soon as the call connected, he coldly announced himself and spoke straight to the point without waiting for the other person to respond.

"Has anyone visited him recently?"

"Not sure? If you’re not sure, then go check!"

"How do I know? I’m being followed! Aside from Jing Ce, who else would do such a thing?"

After ending the call, Bo Jingshen’s eyes were already bloodshot with rage. He could not contain his anger and furiously threw his phone toward the windshield!

The force was so great that the windshield cracked like a spiderweb.

He gasped for breath, leaned over the steering wheel, and took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

It was unclear how much time had passed; the windshield was shattered, but the phone was surprisingly robust. After bouncing to the passenger seat, the screen was cracked but it was still on.

After a while, it began to vibrate tirelessly.

Bo Jingshen didn’t get up, maintaining his position leaning on the steering wheel, but turned his face toward the passenger side and saw a WeChat message on the cracked screen.

Bo Jingshen paused for a moment and, before the screen automatically locked, opened the WeChat message.

Seeing the content on the screen, Bo Jingshen’s expression softened slightly.

His previously furious mood seemed to be soothed.

What he had just received was nothing but a sentence from Su Lu.

deer: Zhao Xiaole wants to eat cake and cookies. I’ll buy the ingredients tomorrow and bake some, but he can’t eat too much. Shall I bring some over to you? [giggle]

Bo Jingshen didn’t reach for his phone but lightly tapped the screen with his finger, replying with a single word.

Bambi: Okay.

On the other end, Su Lu’s eyes curved into a smile as she saw his reply. Then she opened another chat box and sent another message.

deer: Okay, what do you want to eat?

Cheng Youran quickly replied: Is it for real? You’re making it yourself? Then I’d like cranberry cookies and red velvet cake.

Cheng Youran certainly didn’t know that he had just been prioritized over friendship; if Bo Jingshen had replied that he didn’t want sweets, Su Lu probably would not have agreed to bake herself.

Su Lu didn’t have much to do that afternoon, so she took Zhao Xiaole with her to the supermarket to buy baking ingredients.

She also planned to enroll Zhao Xiaole in a summer happy class, not that he was there to learn anything specific. These happy classes were typically just places where teachers supervised kids playing. They met four days a week during daytime, providing Su Lu some time to do other things.

Otherwise, every day would just be about taking care of the child, leaving no time for anything else.

For lunch, Su Lu casually made a couple of dishes and Zhao Xiaole quickly had his meal, and after a nap, they prepared to head to the supermarket. This supermarket was part of a chain, and also had branches in Beijing.

Zhao Xiaole loved going there, mainly because of the many sampling stations inside. Zhao Tong had taken him once, and ever since, Zhao Xiaole had been hooked and dragged Su Lu there a few times. The supermarket was well-stocked, and although Su Lu didn’t spoil him completely without principles,

if it wasn’t a big issue, she wouldn’t refuse.

Thus, she would go shopping there every now and then, taking Zhao Xiaole with her—it was their bonding time.

Zhao Xiaole was thrilled and even pulled out his favorite baseball cap, wearing it backwards, paired with denim overalls and a blue-sleeved white T-shirt, looking quite the trendy tot.

"But, Mom, isn’t this Ah Shen’s car?" Zhao Xiaole asked.

Su Lu nodded, "Yeah, didn’t you think his car looks cool?"

"Hehe," Zhao Xiaole giggled, indeed thinking that Bo Jingshen’s car was very cool.

Any guy seeing it would think the car looks cool, the sturdy-looking SUV with its deep color and heavy feeling, like a little tank driving on the road.

Zhao Xiaole thought for a moment and asked Su Lu seriously, "Su Xiaolu, have you really started dating Ah Shen?"

Su Lu really wanted to say that children shouldn’t meddle in adult matters, but her approach to educating Zhao Xiaole had never been like that.

The child was seriously asking a question, not an unreasonable one at that, so after thinking it over, she answered, "Probably, it’s not yet official, I guess."

"Why is that?" Zhao Xiaole’s face showed genuine confusion, a child’s innocent and pure, of course, not understanding why, and he curiously asked, "But you’ve kissed him, right?"

"Um...kissing has nothing to do with it." Su Lu thought for a moment, feeling it somewhat irresponsible to instill this in a child, she pressed her lips together and then said, "You and Jin Xiaokui have kissed too, but that doesn’t mean you are dating, right?"

Zhao Xiaole pouted, "But I’m still a child. And so many other kids have kissed too. Don’t try to trick me."

Su Lu burst into laughter, "Anyway, it’s just... Ah Shen and I aren’t there yet."

"Oh." Zhao Xiaole had no intention of pressuring Su Lu, he was purely curious.

Moreover, the child was sensible; he had never really pressured Su Lu, rarely using emotional blackmail to force her to do anything.

It’s quite miraculous, this little child, not even knowing what emotional blackmail means, but he had never used it against Su Lu.

He hoped his mom would be happy, so he would never demand her to do anything just for him.

"Ah Shen is quite pitiable," Zhao Xiaole said, "He really likes you."

Zhao Xiaole covered his mouth with his hand and mysteriously whispered, "I’ll secretly tell you—"

Su Lu played along and elongated her voice, "Tell—me—what—"

Zhao Xiaole giggled, "When Ah Shen looks at you, his eyes light up! Like laser eyes, haha."

Su Lu coughed lightly, if it were Cheng You Ran who said this, Su Lu wouldn’t mind, but hearing it from her son, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

While mother and son casually chatted, the car had already arrived at the superstore, Su Lu found a parking spot, struggled several times, and finally parked the large tank-like vehicle.

Then at the entrance, she grabbed a shopping cart with a child seat featuring cartoons and headed inside the superstore.

First, they went to the food area, which was Zhao Xiaole’s main goal for this trip, with various tasting booths offering freshly made foods.

Freshly grilled sausages, freshly boiled small wontons, and such...

Seeing that it was a child, and not only that but a handsome child with a pretty mother beside him looking a tad embarrassed, everyone couldn’t help but give them a little extra.

By the end of the round, Zhao Xiaole was full.

Although Su Lu didn’t find it embarrassing, she was somewhat uneasy and decided to wear a mask next time.

Thinking this, she looked at the shopping list on her phone, grabbed a pack of cake mix, and placed it in the shopping cart’s basket.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice spoke softly beside her, "This brand of cake mix is quite good."
