Chapter 408
Chapter 408: Chapter 408
Because no matter how you looked at it, Bo Jingshen seemed as well as ever. Despite having been force-fed for so long and then throwing up, now it was the middle of the night.
Yet he was still full of vigor. This state... he simply couldn’t be any better.
Hearing this, Bo Jingshen lightly coughed, "It’s so late; you should rest now. Don’t stay up, especially since you’re a light sleeper. You’ll feel uncomfortable later."
"Mhm." Jing Qiao obediently nodded her head and rubbed her eyes, "Then I’ll go to sleep first. Elder brother, sister-in-law, you should rest early too."
Jing Qiao walked toward the guest bedroom.
After she entered the guest bedroom and closed the door, Su Lu finally asked Bo Jingshen, "What’s wrong with Jing Qiao?"
"When she was locked up before, she was given a lot of drugs, and those psychotropic medications usually have significant side effects," explained Bo Jingshen.
Indeed, the use of psychotropic medications could affect even a man’s functions in certain aspects!
"Her health was also damaged, low blood pressure, bradycardia, palpitations. If she doesn’t rest well, those symptoms will worsen," Bo Jingshen continued.
"Poor girl," sighed Su Lu as she entered the bedroom where a small bundle lay on the big bed.
Zhao Xiaole, wrapped in his blanket, was sleeping soundly, the dim yellow glow of the night light on the bedside table shining on him.
Looking at him, Su Lu felt very settled in her heart.
Earlier, by Bo Jingshen’s side, despite being so tired that she felt she could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes, it felt like something was missing. Now it seemed like the missing piece had been filled.
Su Lu walked over, kissed her son’s small face, changed into comfortable pajamas, and then prepared to go to bed, planning to cuddle with her son and sleep.
Bo Jingshen stood by the bed, watching Su Lu.
With one arm around her son, Su Lu looked up at him and said softly, "What are you looking at? The sofa is outside, make do with it. Don’t be shy."
Bo Jingshen gave her a deep look and then turned to leave.
Su Lu stared at the bedroom door, somewhat surprised. Was he really being that obedient? Did he really go to sleep on the sofa?
Just as she was thinking this, Bo Jingshen returned in a rush, lay down beside her, and shamelessly whined, "I’ll just make do here."
Su Lu didn’t speak or reject him, but the corners of her mouth bent into a contented smile.
She was too tired. Holding her son, her heart felt complete, and in no time, she fell into a deep sleep.
Bo Jingshen listened to two calm breathing sounds, his son’s and his wife’s.
This was more relaxing for him than any lullaby. He turned to wrap his arm around Su Lu’s waist, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to check if his son’s blanket was well placed, and then continued to hold Su Lu’s waist and fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, it was due to a pair of small hands causing a ruckus, tugging his face side to side.
Bo Jingshen didn’t even need to open his eyes to guess who it was, so he laughed without looking, "Which little rascal is pinching my face, huh?"
Zhao Xiaole chuckled gleefully and exclaimed brightly, "Daddy!"
Bo Jingshen scooped him up in his arms, "You’re up to no good."
"It’s really my daddy!" Zhao Xiaole giggled.
"Could it be anyone else?" Bo Jingshen teased him with his stubbly chin.
Zhao Xiaole squirmed and dodged, "I just couldn’t quite believe it! That’s why I was pulling your face to make sure."
Bo Jingshen felt helpless. Shouldn’t one pinch oneself to check if they’re dreaming by feeling the pain, not by pinching someone else to see if they’re hurt?
"Are you sure now?" Bo Jingshen asked.
"Confirmed! It’s my dad!" Zhao Xiaole said, then looked up and kissed Bo Jingshen’s face, "Ah Shen, why are you sleeping here? When did you arrive? Where did you go last night?"
Every child comes with a hundred thousand whys. Some dads might get impatient with this, but Bo Jingshen never did. He missed out on his child’s past five years and felt extreme regret and also felt especially sorry for Zhao Xiaole.
So no matter what Zhao Xiaole talked to him about, be it meaningful or just trivial chatter, Bo Jingshen was always patient and willing to listen.
"Can’t I sleep here? I really want to sleep with you and Su Xiaolu, can Xiao Le bring me along?" Bo Jingshen said with a smiling face.
Zhao Xiaole thought his dad sounded quite pitiful, so after thinking for a bit, he nodded and said, "Then you can sleep with me from now on."
Bo Jingshen asked, "What if Su Xiaolu doesn’t agree?"
Zhao Xiaole shrugged, "Then I’ll talk to her, I’ll speak some good words for you."
Bo Jingshen held back a laugh, "Well, I really should thank my son then."
Zhao Xiaole said, "But I think Su Xiaolu won’t disagree."
"Hm?" Bo Jingshen asked, "Why do you say that?"
Then Zhao Xiaole lowered his voice, speaking in a secretive and airy tone, "I’ll tell you..."
Bo Jingshen also cooperated by whispering in a drawn-out voice, "You tell me..."
"Su Xiaolu is baking a cake and cookies for you!" Zhao Xiaole said.
Bo Jingshen was taken aback, "For me?"
Although he remembered Su Lu saying she would bake cookies and a cake, and he knew she happened to run into Jing Qiao while buying baking ingredients, he thought he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the cake and cookies anytime soon.
Unexpectedly.
"Yeah, so I think Su Xiaolu must still like you very much, so I think she won’t disagree," Zhao Xiaole said seriously.
Alright, that made sense, a very well-argued point.
Bo Jingshen felt proud to be his father; he hugged his son and they played around on the bed.
After the father and son had their fill of fun, Bo Jingshen thought for a while and then asked, "Xiao Le, do you think it’s a good idea for daddy to take you to live in a bigger house? One with a kids’ room and a swimming pool?" noveldrama
Zhao Xiaole, of course, was willing and whispered, "We have a kids’ room at home."
He was referring to the home he shared with Su Lu in Beijing.
"But we don’t have one here, do we? What about daddy getting you a home with a kids’ room and a swimming pool here?" Bo Jingshen asked.
Zhao Xiaole was of course willing, but after thinking for a bit, he asked, "What about Su Xiaolu?"
"She will, of course, live with us," Bo Jingshen said.
Zhao Xiaole thought for a moment, "And my aunt?"
"If she is willing, of course, she can join us," Bo Jingshen said.
Zhao Xiaole was happy, "Hehe, then that’s great."
"But Su Xiaolu might not necessarily be willing," Bo Jingshen said again.
Zhao Xiaole nodded and repeated the words he had said before, "Then I’ll talk to her, I’ll speak some good words for you."
Just then, Su Lu walked in from the doorway, "Awake?"
Su Lu asked in confusion, "What are you two whispering about all mysteriously?"
Bo Jingshen simply pulled her onto the bed, and the family of three snuggled together on the bed. Bo Jingshen sniffed the sweet baking scent on her, "You smell so nice."
