Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Chapter 462

Su Lu was somewhat perplexed, as it wasn’t even her birthday today.

Moreover, hearing the address "sister-in-law" always unavoidably made her think of Jing Qiao.

It turned out to indeed be related to Jing Qiao.

Bo Jingshen whispered to her, "This guy has designs on Jing Qiao."

Without any hesitation, Ke Chengjun nodded, "Yes, Xiao Qiao would definitely need to call you sister-in-law, so I should follow suit."

Su Lu was flabbergasted as she looked at the man in front of her with his peach blossom eyes, red lips, white teeth, and handsome features.

She felt somewhat terrified.

Is this guy insanely bold?!

Do you even know who Jing Qiao belongs to that you dare have designs on her?

Su Lu’s mind then immediately recalled the nearly one-point-nine-meter tall man with long legs, his eyes cold as he sat there. Even just playing with building blocks, his whole demeanor seemed to emit a dark, low atmospheric pressure.

Ke Chengjun made no effort to conceal it and chuckled, "I have seen Xiao Qiao dance; she is stunning."

Looking at his beautiful, curved peach blossom eyes, Su Lu couldn’t help saying, "Watch out for your eyes."

Be careful lest some young man surnamed Song might just claw them out in one swipe.

Su Lu shivered and quickly accepted Ke Chengjun’s gift before shrinking next to Bo Jingshen, whispering into his ear, "To still have such audacity..."

They dared to hide Jing Qiao away because after all, Jing Qiao was their sister.

Even if Song Boyuan was mad, he would somewhat consider their status and restrain himself.

But Su Lu felt that Song Boyuan would likely not hold back on anyone else, especially not someone with designs on his woman.

"Foolhardy people are always in abundance," Bo Jingshen sighed softly.

Afterward, Bo Jingshen casually chatted while having a few drinks with them.

The atmosphere was still pretty good. A few more people arrived later. They weren’t as familiar as Xu Yong, Mi Yang, and Ke Chengjun, who came earlier, but luckily, all being new elites of Feng City, they still found common topics, so the atmosphere wasn’t spoilt.

Thanks to the publicity from the trio Mi Yang, Xu Yong, and Ke Chengjun, the later arrivals were aware of Bo Jingshen’s successful proposal and recognized that this was the Xiaolu previously displayed on Yunding’s exterior wall.

They all came over to offer their toasts and congratulations.

At first, Bo Jingshen took a few sips, but later, fearing he might drink too much and upset Su Lu, he simply refused to drink anymore.

Fortunately, everyone was not the sort to incessantly urge others to drink, so the scene remained quite harmonious.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, Su Lu’s lips maintained a smile.

Then, in such an atmosphere, she turned her gaze towards Jiang Li sitting to one side.

Jiang Li was sitting in a corner, holding a glass of wine that he barely touched, probably thinking there was no fun in drinking without getting drunk. He sat there quietly, yet seemed to be withdrawn from the world.

It was... how should it be described? Quite lonely.

Finally, Su Lu couldn’t help but lean into Bo Jingshen’s ear and said, "Looks like... he won’t be coming, huh?"

Bo Jingshen knew what she was asking and shook his head, "Don’t know, can’t say."

Su Lu thought for a moment, "Then why don’t you ask a couple of friends to have a drink with Ah Li? He looks pretty bored."

Bo Jingshen thought about it and agreed, "Yeah, that works."

Then Su Lu watched as her fiancé, like deploying troops, pointed to two of them, "Tianye, Xue Yan."

"Hmm?"

"Eh?"

"Go and have a few drinks with Jiang Er. He’s recently claimed he can handle a thousand drinks without getting drunk and is pretty bold. You guys go and deflate his ego a bit," Bo Jingshen said.

Su Lu thought, who talks like that? After all, these are two young bosses, right? Not your bartenders, yet you’re ordering them around to drink in such a commanding tone?

I didn’t expect...

Jiang Li, when named by Bo Jingshen, also just asked, "Oh, is this an order from the birthday boy?"

"Yes."

"Alright then," Sun Tianye nodded and picked up his glass.

"Understood," Xue Yan stood up with his glass.

Jiang Li was completely baffled as he was made dizzy with drink.

"Hey, no..." Jiang Li helplessly said.

Sun Tianye with righteousness declared, "Bottoms up!"

Xue Yan urged, "Hurry up, don’t nurse it!"

Helplessly, Jiang Li finished the last bit left in his cup and placed his hand over the cup to prevent them from filling it up again, then asked, "What’s going on? Who have I offended?"

Never had they thought to out Bo Jingshen yet.

They simply said, "No offense, just heard your tolerance got better recently; we’re just bored. Come on, drink."

Being made to drink together, the sense of disconnection Jiang Li had with the world gradually disappeared.

Bo Jingshen sighed softly.

Su Lu also sighed inwardly and, after thinking, asked, "What if he gets drunk later?"

"No problem, we’ll just get Jiang Su," Bo Jingshen wasn’t bothered.

After all, today was not only his birthday but also the day he successfully proposed. Although he was somewhat worried about his best friend’s current state, overall, he was very happy.

He wasn’t going anywhere, didn’t feel like competing in drinking, and even conversing would require others to initiate.

Anyway, he wasn’t going anywhere; being by Su Lu’s side was exactly where he wanted to be.

Su Lu helplessly said, "I’m fine, I’m not bored, it’s okay for you to talk to them for a while."

Bo Jingshen replied, "I’m not avoiding them because I’m worried about you being bored."

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the pendant hanging on his neck, utterly compelled to touch the pendant, much like one would be compelled to touch a pimple on their face.

Bo Jingshen smiled, "I just want to be with you; I just want to stay by your side, that’s why I’m not idly chatting with them; it’s not nutritious."

Su Lu held his hand, and Bo Jingshen, looking at the sparkling diamond on her ring finger, felt especially peaceful.

Su Lu said, "Sometimes I find it hard to believe you’re already over thirty, how can you be so... childish?"

As Su Lu said this, her eyes were full of tender smiles.

Bo Jingshen responded, "Isn’t that good? I’d like to be childish in front of you. I could never be a child in front of my mom. Pamper me..."

His voice was low, the last syllable drawn out, clearly coquettish.

Hearing this, Su Lu felt a mix of tenderness and heartache.

Yes, it was his birthday.

They say the mother suffers when the child is born, so logically, a child’s birthday should be a tough day for the mother.

But Bo Jingshen and his mother seemed to rarely have moments of warmth, and Su Lu had almost never heard him mention his mother.

It was only after their recent reunion that she learned some things about his mother.

Although the situation was inappropriate, perhaps because she was also a mother, she could empathize somewhat with his mother.

Su Lu softly asked, "Did you... contact your mother today?"

With his eyes downcast, although Su Lu couldn’t see whether his gaze had darkened, she instantly regretted asking, wishing she hadn’t.

Bo Jingshen shook his head, "No, she doesn’t know I am out."
