Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Chapter 448

Su Lu couldn’t bear the thought of making him sleep on the sofa.

But since she was no longer sleepy herself, she let him stay with their son while she prepared to do some painting in the studio.

Bo Jingshen had originally wanted to tease her a bit, but seeing Su Lu’s state, he refrained from doing so.

When Su Lu had been painting for over half an hour, Bo Jingshen came in carrying a tray, immediately filling the room with a strong sweet scent.

Su Lu was taken aback and turned to look at him.

"How come..."

"I can see you’re in a bad mood, and when you’re feeling down, some sweets can help. I’ve made you a chocolate fondue," Bo Jingshen said.

He placed the tray he was holding on the table. It contained a small tea stove, on top of which sat a white porcelain basin with chocolate bubbling away inside, and on several small plates next to it were arrayed various types of food.

There were fresh fruits, as well as cheese sticks and cookies.

A veritable calorie bomb, such a sin to have as a late-night snack.

"A calorie bomb," Su Lu couldn’t help saying, silently swallowing her saliva.

Bo Jingshen said helplessly, "You’re so thin and you’re still worried about your figure? My only concern is that I can’t fatten you up. Come on."

Su Lu, drooling, put down her paintbrush and obediently went over. She sat cross-legged on the soft cushion in front of the small coffee table, and Bo Jingshen impaled a piece of honeydew melon, drenched it in chocolate sauce, and brought it to her mouth.

The already very sweet honeydew melon combined with the chocolate sauce...

Su Lu thought it would be cloyingly sweet, but it wasn’t. Bo Jingshen hadn’t used ready-made chocolate sauce but had melted dark chocolate and milk chocolate together in some appropriate ratio.

It was the perfect flavor, with the creaminess of milk, the refreshing sweetness of honeydew, all mixed with the rich bitterness of dark chocolate, perfectly blended together.

"It’s strangely delicious. I didn’t expect you to make sweets..." Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen was quite honest and replied, "I can’t. Jing Qiao taught me."

While he was speaking, he took out his phone from his pocket. The call on the phone had not yet ended, and Bo Jingshen spoke to the person on the other end, "My sister-in-law says it’s delicious, thanks."

"You’re welcome. Brother, if you want to learn to make anything else, just ask me anytime," Jing Qiao’s gentle voice came through.

Su Lu leaned in and said, "Thank you, Qiao’er!"

"Sister-in-law, good night," Jing Qiao said with a laugh.

After ending the call with Jing Qiao, Bo Jingshen continued to feed her several pieces, including cookies, cheese sticks, and fruit.

Perhaps sweets really do work, for after she finished, Su Lu’s mood had indeed improved slightly.

Bo Jingshen, seeing her more relaxed expression, finally said, "Alright, can you tell me now what happened? Why did everything seem off after you took that phone call?"

Su Lu really didn’t want to say anything; she felt that although this wasn’t exactly a family scandal, it was still a private matter concerning her brothers.

But there was no one else to tell. Her mother? It wasn’t right to tell her. Zhao Tong? Zhao Tong was just a fool, and talking to him would not help her feel better—in fact, she might end up needing to comfort Zhao Tong instead!

So she was left to bottle it up inside herself.

After thinking it over, Su Lu said, "I can tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else, okay?"

Bo Jingshen was startled for a moment before he suddenly realized why Su Lu had burst out laughing earlier that day when he had mysteriously told her that he thought Song Boyuan was up to something.

Maybe it was because he had seemed rather childish at that time?

Because right now, Su Lu was acting very childish as well, telling him, "I’ve told you this, but you can’t tell anyone else, okay?" What kind of elementary school proclamation was that...

Bo Jingshen held back his amusement and nodded, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell anyone."

However, it wasn’t long before Bo Jingshen couldn’t find the humor anymore.

Listening to Su Lu tell him what was going on, all Bo Jingshen could think was — holy shit.

"So, that’s the situation now. That’s why I’m worried. What do you think?" Su Lu looked at him.

He said, "Holy shit."

Su Lu: "..." She glared at him with wide eyes, "I shouldn’t have bothered telling you all this!"

"Don’t be angry, I’m just a bit shocked. Are you saying I shouldn’t be surprised by this?" Bo Jingshen took her hand.

Bo Jingshen calmed down after a while. Even though he was still quite astonished, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen such things before, nor was he prejudiced. It was just that his eldest and second uncles being together was a bit sensational.

Now that he had gotten over the initial shock, it was okay.

After all... they weren’t blood brothers. If they liked each other, there wasn’t really a problem.

He even knew someone who had developed feelings for a pair of blood brothers — now that was truly a disaster.

"So what do you think I should do now?" Su Lu asked him.

As for that, Bo Jingshen was quite clear-headed, "What do you mean, what should you do? It’s none of your business. You don’t need to do anything."

"Huh?"

"They’re both your brothers. On the issue of their romance, it’s inappropriate for you to side with anyone. So you don’t need to do anything. You only need to care for your sibling relationship with them, not their relationship with each other," Bo Jingshen said.

In the end, matters of the heart are one’s own business.

Bo Jingshen brought a cheese stick to her lips and continued, "In this respect, you’re not as clever as Ms. Zhao."

Su Lu was startled, "My mom doesn’t know about this, does she?"

"Are you sure?" Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow at her.

Su Lu: "...Not sure."

"That’s why I say Ms. Zhao is clever. A wise person is just like that. She knows the things she should know, and she also knows the things she shouldn’t know, but she will pretend as if she doesn’t know."

Whenever Bo Jingshen spoke of Zhao Ying, he did so with gratitude and admiration, "She doesn’t interfere with her children’s romantic life, or rather, she doesn’t interfere unless it’s a critical moment. She had made her views known in our affair only at critical moments, which usually occurred when you were deeply hurt. She cared so much that she couldn’t help but act. For instance, when she thought I would be dangerous for you, or that the hurt I caused you was too much, or later on, when she felt you couldn’t let go after being reunited with me and it left you too distressed."

Su Lu blinked while looking at Bo Jingshen, finding him irresistibly charming when he analyzed things so methodically and coherently.

She propped her chin with her hands and gazed at him like a lovestruck fan.

Bo Jingshen, feeling his heart warm under her earnest gaze, couldn’t help but smile and gently flicked her nose, "So, it’s the same with the situation regarding Shen Xun. If it’s something that makes Shen Xun happy, she can pretend not to know for a while. I think the reason she called you is that she feels Shen Xun is currently doing something utterly irrational, something that might hurt himself and possibly the innocent woman involved."

Propping her chin, Su Lu said, "You analyze my mom’s psychology so thoroughly."

Bo Jingshen leaned in and kissed her, "Do I? Then you help me ask her if I’m worthy enough to be her son-in-law."
