Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 91: Wanting to Please You

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Wanting to Please You

Su Lu sometimes hated that her hearing was too good.

That’s why she had suffered so much pain and trouble from childhood onward.

If she hadn’t heard the conversation between Su Yukan and the head of the orphanage in her childhood, where Su Yukan said as long as she was adopted and could help cure Su Zhe’s illness, he wouldn’t mind adopting Su Yi too.

Even though there was a very nice family who had shown a clear tendency to adopt her.

But she had heard the conversation between Su Yukan and the headmaster, so she couldn’t pretend to be unaware, couldn’t be that selfish.

Even though she could clearly sense that Su Yukan didn’t have any love in his heart, he was definitely not a good father.

But she couldn’t so easily abandon her brother.

It would have been better if she hadn’t heard it.

Or if she hadn’t heard after growing up when Su Yukan talked with someone saying she was just a pawn, raised well to be sold for a different value someday.

Perhaps she might have lived unconsciously like Su Jiao, feeling maybe that the life arranged by Su Yukan was good.

She wouldn’t have chosen to go to Hai City for university, wouldn’t have met Bo Jingshen, wouldn’t have been happy, but also wouldn’t have been in pain.

If she hadn’t heard back then that Su Yukan wanted someone to deal with Bo Jingshen, to create a ’small warning, big lesson’ type of accident, to make her obey.

She wouldn’t have compromised, she might have been killed by Su Yukan then, or maybe she would have eloped with Bo Jingshen or lived in hiding, becoming a pair of star-crossed lovers?

Her life wouldn’t have turned out this way, and she wouldn’t have separated from Bo Jingshen for five years, wouldn’t have regrets, nor would she be in pain as she was now.

If she hadn’t just heard what Tang Cheng said, if she hadn’t caught that phrase ’Are you afraid I’ll speak out about your matters? Or that I’ll talk about your fiancée’s matters, causing you trouble?’

She wouldn’t be in such pain as she was now.

It seemed like it didn’t make sense, yet it seemed all could be explained.

Otherwise, why would Bo Jingshen be so averse to Tang Cheng? Why would he even find speaking a sentence repulsive?

Otherwise, why when she casually brought up their relationship earlier by mentioning bedfellows, he had no objections...

"Miss Su, are you alright?"

Ji Fulian saw Su Lu’s complexion growing worse and felt worried.

Su Lu shook her head, walked to the parking lot outside, and Ji Fulian pressed the car key, lighting up the headlights of a mirror-blue sports car.

"I see you look unwell; get in the car, I’ll take you back," Ji Fulian said.

Su Lu nodded and followed him toward the parking spot, but before they reached the car, she couldn’t hold it back anymore, rushed to a nearby trash can, and vomited her guts out.

"Are you okay?" Ji Fulian hurried to the car to grab a bottle of unopened mineral water and some tissues, stood beside Su Lu, and handed them to her.

"Not... a problem," Su Lu’s voice was hoarse, her eyes red, as she took the water and tissues from Ji Fulian’s hands, "Thank you."

Ji Fulian watched her with a deeply concerned look, "Miss Su, do you perhaps... feel carsick?"

Su Lu seized the excuse without having to think of another reason, immediately nodding, "Yes." She paused, adding, "But don’t worry, normally I don’t get carsick, it was just a bit... too intense just now."

"I get it, nobody’s used to it the first time. The first time I rode in a racer’s car, I threw up even worse, felt like I was pregnant," Ji Fuling said with a laugh as she touched her nose.

Su Lu, hearing this, was taken aback.

After a moment of bewilderment, she managed a faint smile, "Yeah, not quite used to it."

"Don’t worry, I won’t recklessly drive on city roads, it’s very steady. Come on, get in, I’ll take you home," Ji Fuling made a gesture of invitation.

Su Lu got into the passenger seat, and Ji Fuling started the car. Although he said he would drive steadily, when he started the car, this modified and naturally high-end sports car roared to life, still a heart-pounding experience.

However, once Su Lu gave Ji Fuling the address, the cobalt blue sports car drove away smoothly, without any of the roaring speed that one would expect from its engine noise.

Throughout the ride, Su Lu initially didn’t feel like talking, but Ji Fuling would occasionally make a comment.

Su Lu responded somewhat absentmindedly.

Ji Fuling chuckled lightly, "Miss Su, don’t mind me bothering you, but if you’re feeling carsick, having someone talk to distract you can help a bit."

"Mm," Su Lu nodded, "Thank you."

Ji Fuling glanced at her and winked, "Of course, it’s not without reason that I’m trying to win your favor."

"Ah?" Su Lu was confused, she turned to look at him, feeling like she had missed something, but couldn’t recall what it was.

Ji Fuling laughed, "You don’t know what business I’m in, do you? You wouldn’t think I rely solely on this car shop, would you?"

His reminder suddenly triggered Su Lu’s memory, "Ah, right."

She hadn’t realized it initially.

But considering Ji Fuling’s name, it was evident—they were in the medicinal herb business, as many from their family generation used names related to medicinal herbs, like his cousins Ji Chuanbai, Ji Cebai, and Ji Jingmo.

Ji Fuling laughed, "Our family business deals in medicinal herbs, and I heard your brother is back, so... it’s normal for me to want to curry favor with you."

That was indeed quite normal. Su Zhe was in the medical business, which included pharmaceutical research and production.

If they could establish a connection, Ji Fuling’s family might have a shot at securing the supply contracts in Su Zhe’s business ventures.

For Ji Fuling, a typically frivolous young master who indulged in dining and racing, securing such a deal would be a great outcome.

"I..." Su Lu touched her nose helplessly, "I don’t have much say in my brother’s business."

"No worries, just showing my face in front of you might do the trick. Who knows? Even if I don’t land a deal with Su Zhe, I don’t lose anything. But if it works out, I hit the jackpot," Ji Fuling spoke very frankly.

Su Lu smiled faintly.

During their conversation, the car had reached the downtown area.

It had to be said, although Ji Fuling drove steadily, he was not slow at all and quickly reached downtown.

Moreover, he didn’t need Su Lu to guide him; he confidently drove towards her address.

Speaking of coincidences.

When Ji Fuling’s car smoothly stopped at the entrance of the apartment complex, Su Lu got out and immediately ran into Su Zhe who was holding a big bag of groceries, dressed in casual clothes, and even wearing flip-flops.

Holding the bag, he looked at Su Lu coming out of the car and frowned, "Who is this..."
