Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 449

Chapter 449: Chapter 449

Su Lu also felt that Bo Jingshen’s words made a lot of sense. Without mentioning other aspects, even in the case of a blind date or a loveless arranged marriage, especially in the ambiguous situation between Shen Xun and Su Zhe—

the women were too innocent. It wasn’t fair to them.

"Then I should talk to Shen Xun," Su Lu thought for a moment but felt it wasn’t enough. She looked at Bo Jingshen, "Or... should I take a trip back to Beijing?"

Bo Jingshen was taken aback, the first emotion in his eyes being reluctance. He opened his mouth but for a long while couldn’t speak.

Su Lu said, "I’ll just go for a quick visit. My son will stay in Feng City for the summer holiday. I’ll be back soon."

Bo Jingshen murmured softly, "Can’t we clarify things over the phone? Why bother making a special trip..."

It wasn’t unreasonable for Su Lu to take a trip back to Beijing, so Bo Jingshen knew his own protest was illogical, thus he spoke in a low volume.

Su Lu, pained for him, smiled and caressed his face, "The main thing is, there’s nothing fun to do there..."

Su Lu pursed her lips. She originally thought it unnecessary to mention this, but after a moment’s thought, she decided there was no need to hide it from Bo Jingshen and simply told him, "It happens to be Old Sir Shen’s birthday. He’s getting on in years; I really should visit him. Because I had Zhao Xiaole out of wedlock, my mother and brother certainly took no issue, but old folks like him are quite conservative and hence have always had a big problem with me. They don’t think much of me. So, there’s no appeal. I’ll go for a visit and come back quickly."

Su Lu smiled, "I’ve left your son with you, are you still worried I might run away?"

Bo Jingshen frowned deeply, "Look down on you? What right does he have to do that?"

His expression was unmistakably angry as he took out his phone to check his schedule, "I’ll go with you."

Su Lu’s eyes widened in astonishment, "Are you crazy?"

"I see I’m not that busy with work lately..." Bo Jingshen said, and truth be told, even if he were busy, he would make the time to accompany her back. What sort of situation was the Shen family old man in to look down on Su Lu and Zhao Xiaole?

In Bo Jingshen’s heart, the matter was quite simple.

It was perfectly fine for Su Lu’s family members to look down on him, Bo Jingshen—no problem at all. But to look down on her and their child was absolutely unacceptable.

Su Lu said he was crazy, not because he would pause his work to accompany her back to Beijing, but because...

"You act like boarding a plane is akin to dying! Stop joking." Su Lu still vividly remembered how panicked she felt when she heard he had once been in a plane crash and could have died if not for sheer luck.

Of course, she also remembered how deathly pale he looked every time he had to fly.

But at this moment, Bo Jingshen hadn’t even thought about his fear of flying. It was only after Su Lu mentioned it that Bo Jingshen paused and then said, "It’s just over two hours. It won’t be a problem."

Still, Su Lu couldn’t bear it. The thought of Bo Jingshen being as white as a sheet for over two hours made her uneasy. She couldn’t stand watching him suffer like that even when they weren’t on good terms before, let alone now.

That evening, Cheng Yan received a message from Bo Jingshen.

Cheng Yan had finally finished his work and returned home. While eating dinner and reviewing a couple of documents, he finally took a bath to relax. Upon emerging, he saw a message from Bo Jingshen.

Cheng Yan was astonished and immediately called back, "Book a high-speed rail ticket?"

"Yeah," Bo Jingshen replied matter-of-factly.

Then Cheng Yan exploded over the phone, startling Bo Jingshen. The latter, washing dishes with the speakerphone on, found Su Lu beside him, drying the dishes with a towel.

So when Cheng Yan began to roar... Su Lu heard it too and was caught off guard.

Cheng Yan: "I’ve been nearly worked to death! I haven’t even had the chance to look closely at the project materials you sent back yesterday! And now you’re running off to Beijing? You could at least let that slide, but for something as trivial as booking a ticket, can’t you go straight to the secretarial office!"

Su Lu shuddered with fright.

Bo Jingshen was also startled, nearly dropping the plate in his hand, "I did it out of habit... you know, I’m used to discussing things with you."

"Please make a habit of changing that!" Cheng Yan said, finally regaining some composure, taking a deep breath before continuing, "Since you’re going to Beijing, why not take a look at the project materials you sent over yesterday and do some research? Then go check it out in Beijing."

People like Cheng Yan, who rarely lose their temper, always seem particularly serious when they do, commanding a sense of dread no one can ignore.

Of course, Bo Jingshen agreed, as Su Lu had the same kind of temperament, and Bo Jingshen was well-accustomed to her tempers through muscle memory.

Su Lu knew Cheng Yan was not having it easy either, and whispered an apology, "I’m sorry, Assistant Cheng, please don’t be angry, we’ll handle it ourselves."

The main thing was she didn’t even know Bo Jingshen had messaged Cheng Yan to book the tickets, otherwise, she would have definitely stopped it.

Hearing Su Lu’s voice, Cheng Yan managed to calm down, returning to his usual steady and calm tone, "It’s okay, I’ll have the secretarial office take care of it."

Su Lu then exchanged a few more courteous words with Cheng Yan before they ended the call.

After hanging up, Su Lu looked helplessly at Bo Jingshen, "High-speed rail? I said I could go alone..."

"No," Bo Jingshen stared at her, "I’m going with you."

He would always stand up for her, no matter who bullied her. If anyone looked down on her, he would be there to defend her.

Moreover, Bo Jingshen felt this trip to Beijing wasn’t just about investigating the project that Zhao Xiaole had wrangled from his uncle yesterday or simply defending Su Lu’s honor.

Bo Jingshen had another, more important matter on his mind.

He couldn’t continue like this with Su Lu without any formal ties. Whether Su Lu cared about formalities or not, he didn’t know, but Bo Jingshen cared a great deal.

How long had he been looking forward to this?

To put it in the exaggerated terms of the internet, from the first day he was with Su Lu, he had already figured out what words to inscribe on their shared tombstone.

So before asking for any such commitment, he had to make a proper visit.

Not to go into the old customs of matchmaking, but at least to visit Ms. Zhao to talk about the matter properly, at least to let Su Lu’s mother know how serious he was about it.

But for now, Bo Jingshen had no intention of letting Su Lu know.

Surprises, regardless of the time or how many years pass, were always something he was willing to give her.

Thus the return time was decided, and the tickets were booked.

The next day, when the topic came up, Song Boyuan asked with a casual glance, "Is Xiao Le going with you?"

Originally, if Bo Jingshen were not going along, Su Lu had planned to leave her son in Feng City for Bo Jingshen to take care of for a while, but since Bo Jingshen was also going, of course, the son would have to come along.

"Of course," Bo Jingshen nodded.

Song Boyuan didn’t hesitate for even a second, "Oh, then we’ll go back with you."
