Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 402: Chapter 402

"It was just this moment of misjudgment, or rather, my sister’s moment of misjudgment."

"This scoundrel, who once vomited blood after being beaten by me, had the audacity to show up in front of me like this."

Shen Xun stared coldly at Bo Jingshen.

But Bo Jingshen seemed not to feel uncomfortable at all.

He didn’t seem to think anything was amiss and seemed completely oblivious to Shen Xun’s icy, knife-like gaze.

Actually, Bo Jingshen hadn’t expected to run into Shen Xun here; he came to accompany his wife and child and to check on his sister-in-law’s condition.

Who knew he would bump straight into his brother-in-law? noveldrama

Back then, Shen Xun had beaten him till he vomited blood, although at that time it was because he already had a stomach bleed. But, it must be said, it was still a vivid memory.

However, Bo Jingshen really didn’t hold a grudge, because Shen Xun had done it for Su Lu.

Anyone who was good to Su Lu was essentially on the same path as him, no matter how much resentment they held towards him, Bo Jingshen didn’t mind.

"You really don’t see yourself as an outsider, do you?" Shen Xun held Zhao Xiaole and looked coldly at Bo Jingshen, speaking icily.

Bo Jingshen was taken aback and involuntarily put down the fork he was holding.

On the fork was a bite of the mini sandwich Jing Qiao had made.

Because he had rushed over here from the company after a busy morning, wanting to see Su Lu and the child, he hadn’t eaten lunch in his hurry, and he didn’t usually have the habit of breakfast.

So he was actually quite hungry, and in addition to his bad stomach, he was in dire need of food.

He looked at Shen Xun, paused for a moment, and then said softly, "Big brother, the past was my fault. I admit it, and I will never hurt her again."

Shen Xun’s brows knitted together, "Who’s your big brother? Who are you calling that? Jing Su is your big brother, don’t claim relatives recklessly."

"I won’t do wrong again in the future," Bo Jingshen wasn’t upset by Shen Xun’s unfriendly attitude, and simply took it all.

He kept his posture extremely low, also not feeling at all that it was embarrassing or shameful.

His wife and child were the most important; what did that bit of pride matter? Bo Jingshen didn’t care at all.

"You’d better not, because if I could beat you till you vomited blood once, I can make it happen every time," said Shen Xun coldly, not forgetting to cover Zhao Xiaole’s ears as he spoke.

Just as Su Lu came out of the kitchen, she heard her big brother fiercely threatening Bo Jingshen.

She felt a mix of helplessness and warmth.

Su Lu set a steaming bowl of noodles in front of Bo Jingshen, seeing that he hadn’t finished the few mini sandwiches he had for lining his stomach, "Why aren’t you eating? Didn’t you say you didn’t eat in the morning and at noon, aren’t you hungry?"

Bo Jingshen remained silent, only glancing at Shen Xun.

Su Lu sighed softly, looking at her elder brother, "Brother, let him finish eating first. His stomach is like a tattered bag."

Shen Xun was startled and while feeling that his sister was beginning to side with others, he frowned suspiciously at Bo Jingshen, who now looked normal, quietly eating his noodles.

But suddenly, Shen Xun felt that this kid... seemed pretty calculated? Acting all meek and submissive in front of him and pitifully wretched in front of Su Lu.

Literally a scheming dog!

Shen Xun’s brows furrowed tightly, glaring at Bo Jingshen.

Bo Jingshen lowered his head even more.

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhao Xiaole tugged gently at Shen Xun’s cloth, "Uncle, can you please not be mean to my dad?"

Shen Xun: "... I didn’t yell at your dad."

He had already confirmed it—Bo Jingshen was indeed a scheming jerk!

In the afternoon, Shen Xun went to pick up Yida and his group.

The team was actually not large, just five people.

But these five, they looked different from ordinary bodyguard teams.

It was clear they had undergone formal militarized training and had kept up their training rigorously. They were all about the same size as Shen Xun, tall and straight, with muscles ready to spring into action.

And they all had an upright and manly vibe.

Their speech and laughter were very sonorous.

"Leave it to us and you can rest easy," Yida said, standing at the forefront, dragging a suitcase with one hand and patting Shen Xun’s shoulder with the other, "To speak the truth, having been employed by Aunt Zhao but not having worked much, I do feel quite embarrassed."

Actually, they had been doing some work, always helping the company with things, but it wasn’t really the job Zhao Ying had hired them for.

Now they could finally be useful; they did not feel any hardship about having traveled all the way to Feng City.

Su Lu had already reserved a spot and was leading them out to eat.

She had become familiar with them over the years.

Jing Qiao, however, was quiet and serene. She probably wasn’t comfortable in a crowd, so she seemed a bit uneasy, but even when uneasy, she didn’t show it much on her face—it just made her seem even quieter than usual.

She was already a quiet person by nature, and now she was so quiet that her presence felt almost inconspicuous.

Yida and the others got along very well with Shen Xun, and they chatted merrily.

So, as they neared the restaurant, Yida leaned closer to Shen Xun, lowering his voice, "Who’s that guy behind us? Is he the heartbreaker who hurt Su Lu back then?"

Shen Xun replied, "Oh, yeah, that’s him."

"Do you want me to take care of him? Don’t worry, we’re ruthless, and he definitely won’t be getting off easy," Yida offered.

Shen Xun chuckled softly, "I’d like that, but I can’t stand against Su Lu’s protectiveness."

Yida clicked his tongue, "She’s guarding him like that? How is your sister so easy to bully? She remembers the good but forgets the bad..."

Yida paused, then sighed softly, "That Qiao guy really is pitiful."

They had met Qiao Li and were very aware of his feelings for Su Lu.

Shen Xun shrugged slightly, seeming to agree with Yida.

Yida thought for a moment, "Right, I knew something was off today. It only clicked when you mentioned that Qiao guy. Where’s Young Master Su? You two are usually as inseparable as conjoined twins; how come I didn’t see him today?"

Shen Xun’s expression stiffened imperceptibly, for a very brief moment—

Something a straightforward guy like Yida wouldn’t notice.

Su Lu felt that if she hadn’t witnessed it herself, she certainly wouldn’t have noticed her brother’s brief rigidity either. Having seen it though, she did notice the brief stiffness in Shen Xun’s expression and the fact that Su Zhe was nowhere to be seen.

Su Lu reasonably guessed there might be some conflict between the two.

Could it be because of... what she had witnessed? If so, that would truly be... unfortunate.

Shen Xun’s expression had already returned to normal, and his speech betrayed no hints, "Oh, he’s busy with some stuff so he couldn’t make it."

Yida, of course, thought nothing more of it and nodded in response, "Alright then, we’re not staying here just a day or two. We’ll all go out to eat another day."
