Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Good News? Bad News?

The delivery boy rode his electric scooter like the wind, sweeping into the residential complex. He hurriedly entered the building’s elevator and went upstairs, ringing the doorbell.

The door quickly opened, and a fair hand reached out, taking the paper bag from the delivery boy.

"Give it here, thank you."

"Sure, please take it. And if you’re satisfied with my service, don’t forget to leave a five-star rating!"

"Will do, thanks for your hard work. Take care."

The door closed.

Su Lu grasped the paper bag in her hand and walked into the master bathroom.

Seated on the porcelain-white toilet, she held the paper box she had just taken out of the bag and stared blankly.

A pregnancy test pen.

She had finally realized what had slipped her mind before.

Her period was late.

The reason she had a sudden sense of unease and vaguely recalled the matter was at the parking lot entrance when she vomited uncontrollably. Ji Fulian had said he understood, that it’s hard for anyone the first time, and when he first drove a race car, he threw up even worse than she did, as if he were pregnant.

And now, Su Lu sat on the toilet, staring blankly at the box in her hand.

She had even bought two boxes, as if, no matter the result, two would somehow feel more accurate.

Su Lu took a deep breath, opened a box, and followed the instructions.

The process was not complicated, in fact, it was quite simple. noveldrama

But Su Lu’s emotions were somewhat complex as she intently watched the display area of the pregnancy test.

She saw one red line appear.

And then a second red line, two shades lighter than the first, also emerged.

Su Lu blinked rapidly, her lips tightly pursed.

She glanced at the instructions, then back at the display area of the pregnancy test.

She stared fixedly for several seconds.

Then she quickly fumbled to open the other box and repeated the process just like before.

Su Lu stared intently at this pregnancy test’s display area.

Her fingers gripped the pregnancy test tightly, whitening at the tips, as if clutching her last lifeline.

Moments later, she leaned back as if she had lost all strength, her arms falling to her sides, the pregnancy test in her hand showing the same results as the first one.

Two red lines, one dark and one light.

"How could it be... like this," muttered Su Lu.

Her nose felt a bit sour. Why did it have to be now, why did she have to find out at this time?

Just on the day she found out Bo Jingshen had a fiancée, she was alone, staring at those two lines.

What might have been good news seemed instantly to turn into a joke.

Su Lu couldn’t sleep at all that night, staring at her phone, her emotions complex.

Should she tell Bo Jingshen about this, or, to be more precise, should she tell him right away?

Su Lu wasn’t sure.

So, she silently thought that if... if Bo Jingshen took the initiative to call her, or even just sent her a message, then she would tell him.

Holding her phone, she searched for some terms.

For instance: Early pregnancy signs.

"Early pregnancy can involve vomiting, abdominal pain due to the implantation of the fertilized egg, fatigue, sleepiness, and so on..." Su Lu murmured softly.

Her heart, which had been devoid of any real feeling, suddenly seemed to gain a sense of reality towards this matter.

She stretched out her hand and gently touched her lower abdomen, feeling it was magical and inconceivable.

"So, there’s actually a little life inside here?"

Su Lu blinked, the corners of her mouth involuntarily, faintly curling up.

It was a miraculous sensation.

From childhood, she owned nothing; her home wasn’t hers, neither were her parents, her brother, nor her sister. Originally, she had a brother, but as time went by, he seemed to no longer be hers either.

She had thought Bo Jingshen was hers, but eventually, even Bo Jingshen stopped being hers. Marrying Gu Xin, Gu Xin was never really hers.

There was nothing that belonged to Su Lu; Su Lu had long been accustomed to this.

But now, there seemed to be a certain definitive feeling.

If there was a little life inside, it was hers, her child, her continuation.

A marvelous feeling.

It made her involuntarily start to think about planning for the future.

Su Lu even checked her savings and then thought about her income, wondering whether she could afford the future of this tiny life inside her on her own.

Her mood was complex, and she wasn’t sleepy at all, not the least bit tired. Yet, because she saw that sleepiness was part of the early pregnancy reaction, and plenty of rest would help the baby develop well,

She could momentarily put down all those entangled emotions. She stopped waiting for that call which she didn’t know when would come, and quickly fell deep into sleep.

Her phone lay by her pillow, its screen never lighting up with an incoming call throughout the night.

Bo Jingshen didn’t call, not even a single message came, so even if she truly stayed awake all night waiting, it was in vain.

Yunding’s sky bar.

Bo Jingshen was slumped over the bar, already out to the world.

Jiang Li sat on the stool beside him, frowning slightly, carelessly eating the boiled peanuts from the dish, with amber liquor, enshrining icy crystals, in the embossed crystal glass.

Jiang Li took a sip from his glass without easing his frown.

Ji Fulian sat next to him, one arm resting on the bar, bending over as she propped her head on her arm, her face turned towards Jiang Li, "Ah Li, don’t worry, I’ll help you take him home later. It’s not like he’s too heavy to lift."

Jiang Li’s frown remained, "It’s not about whether we can lift him or not, it’s just that..."

He turned his head and stared at Jing Ruo, who sat at the other end of the bar, silently drinking his liquor. Although his actions bore no other implications, the details seemed to easily suggest to Jiang Li a sense of ’guilt’.

So, it wasn’t about whether they could lift Bo Jingshen, but rather, why Bo Jingshen had drunk so much? What, exactly, was the reason?

Jiang Li decided to take his glass and join Jing Ruo.

Jing Ruo continued drinking, pretending not to see him.

"Just tell me, what’s gotten into Bo Jingshen to drink like this? Even if he’s drowning his sorrows in alcohol, what sorrows does he have?"

Jiang Li really couldn’t figure it out; the man had a successful career, was good-looking, with a seemingly limitless future prospects in-country. If it was about love... he had brought Su Lu out for fun not long before, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

So what exactly was it?

"What did Tang Cheng say to him?" When Jing Ruo didn’t answer, Jiang Li asked another question.

Jing Ruo finished the liquor in his glass with a gulp, then with a bang set down the glass, and finally said, "Don’t ask me, I really don’t know anything."
