Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!-Chapter 72 - Resenting Iron for Not Turning into Steel

Su Zhe took the wafer candy from his mouth, the food coloring tinting his lips shades of not quite blue or green, creating a rather comical sight as he spoke.

Su Lu almost couldn’t suppress the grin tugging at her lips.

Su Zhe pointed at a plastic bag on the table, “I was originally bringing you breakfast.”

Originally?

Su Zhe nodded toward the wall in front, “Now, it is more like afternoon tea.”

A clock on the wall indeed pointed the time at 1:35 in the afternoon.

Yes, it definitely was afternoon tea.

Su Lu felt somewhat ashamed and couldn’t help but scratch her head.

Su Zhe put the candy back in his mouth and picked up the medicine box on the coffee table, “Feeling alright, how come you have a fever?”

Su Lu almost blurted out that she was scared into a feverish reaction.

But she caught herself just in time.

Otherwise, Su Zhe would definitely ask what had scared her.

And that would naturally lead to the events of last night, then to the realization that all the troubles were caused by Gu Xin, and that she, Su Lu, was just an innocent victim…

That would really spell trouble for Gu Xin.

Since Su Zhe was already quite upset with him,

being good comrades, Su Lu felt she shouldn’t set up Gu Xin and quickly held back.

“Just a random fever…” she said, frowning and hissing as she pressed her hand onto her stomach.

Su Zhe quickly got up from the couch, “What’s wrong?

Where does it hurt?”

“My stomach.

It’s nothing.” Su Lu calculated the days, realizing her period was nearly due.

It wasn’t something to elaborate on to Su Zhe, but he was intuitive enough to guess from her mentioning a stomachache and reluctance to elaborate.

“Go freshen up, I’ll make you some brown sugar water,” Su Zhe said while gently ruffling her somewhat messy hair.

Su Lu smiled, wrapping herself in the blanket as she rose from the couch, “Thanks, bro.

I’ve sweated quite a bit, I need a shower, just give me a moment.”

“Go ahead.”

Su Zhe walked into the kitchen, rummaged through the refrigerator, and found some brown sugar and ginger.

He chopped and smashed them on the cutting board, then boiled water in a pot, adding the ginger to simmer and the brown sugar to dissolve.

When Su Lu finished washing up and came out, a small pot of old ginger brown sugar water was steaming at just the right temperature to drink.

She comfortably sipped a few mouthfuls, and the pain in her stomach seemed to be relieved, or even if it wasn’t, the placebo effect made her feel much better.

Su Zhe heated up breakfast in the microwave and brought it over to her.

Only then did Su Lu realize how hungry she was, her stomach sticking to her back; she didn’t bother with pleasantries and started eating heartily.

Su Zhe sat opposite her, still with a lollipop in his mouth, watching her eat.

Suddenly he asked, “Did Gu Xin’s family come to bother you yesterday?”

Su Lu almost choked, her eyes wide as she looked at Su Zhe, “Where did you hear that?”

“In the morning when you were still asleep, Xu Ning called, and I answered.

She mentioned it off-handedly,” Su Zhe said.

Su Lu thought to herself, Little Ningzi really can’t keep her mouth shut!

Swallowing the dumpling in her mouth, Su Lu said, “It’s not like they came to cause trouble.

His mom came to check on me and casually invited me to a meal.”

“Going to Gu Family for a meal?” Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, and with a crack, he bit off a piece of his lollipop.

“You’ve completed all the procedures, how shameless can they be?

What are they trying to do?”

“It’s not like we’re enemies or anything.

Having a meal is no big deal,” Su Lu quickly said, “Don’t be angry.”

Su Zhe frowned, and Su Lu recognized that look in his eyes.

She sighed, “You and You Ran not dating is truly a loss.

You two sometimes have the same look in your eyes!”

Hearing Su Lu suddenly mention Cheng Youran made Su Zhe’s frown deepen, “Why bring her up all of a sudden?

How do her eyes look anything like mine?”

“That look you gave me just now, it’s exactly the same, a capitalized ‘frustrated like iron not becoming steel,'” Su Lu said.

Hearing this, Su Zhe didn’t refute but chuckled, “So you know you’re frustrating like iron not becoming steel.”

“Anyway, I’m really fine.

Brother, you just…” Su Lu hadn’t finished her sentence when Su Zhe interrupted her, “Letting Gu Xin off is impossible.

I’ve wanted to deal with him for a long time, you don’t know how long this ‘long time’ has been.”

Su Lu thought, how could she not know?

It was since she initially married Gu Xin, and later when Gu Xin and Chen Yaxi got together.

Before that, Su Zhe thought Gu Xin was quite alright, at least not as bad as Su Yukan randomly fixing her up with an unworthy person.

Gu Xin was quite a good match in all aspects.

But then he got together with Chen Yaxi, even though he knew there was no love between him and Su Lu, Su Zhe was still quite upset.

Seeing Su Lu seemed to still want to plead, Su Zhe pinched a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Let’s not talk about Gu Xin,” Su Zhe said.

Su Lu obediently nodded with the dumpling in her mouth, but she immediately regretted it when Su Zhe’s next sentence came out.

Su Zhe said, “Then let’s talk about this morning, just at dawn, when I came over to bring you breakfast after my morning run, and saw Bo Jingshen looking exhausted stepping out of your apartment building.

What was that about…”

“Uh…” Su Lu’s blinking sped up considerably.

She pursed her lips, whispering, “Brother, how about…

let’s continue talking about Gu Xin?

You just said how you plan to deal with him?

I’ll tell you, he’s going back to Feng City soon.”

Su Zhe looked at Su Lu with a half-smile.

Su Lu avoided his gaze.

Su Zhe reached over and pinched her nose, “Lulu, now you know why your brother always looks at you with frustrated eyes, right?”

Su Lu sighed and nodded, “I know.”

“Why?” Su Zhe gently prodded.

Su Lu looked dejected, “I’m not competent, I’m just not made of steel.”
