122: Chapter 122 Boyfriend’s Matters 122: Chapter 122 Boyfriend’s Matters Su Lu heard Qiao Li’s words… and thought about what Su Zhe had ntioned earlier.
She had assud it was about finding Qiao Li as her male companion for the opening banquet if Gu Xin brought Chen Yaxi.
So she casually asked, “About the male companion?”
But Qiao Li just smiled, shook his head, and looking into her clear, beautiful eyes, he couldn’t resist and reached out to gently ruffle Su Lu’s hair, “About a boyfriend.”
“Boy…” Su Lu opened her mouth, speechless, and hung her head, biting her lip in silence for a mont, “Brother Qiao, I’ve been married before.”
“Of course, I know.
What era are we in?
People don’t care about these things so much,” said Qiao Li.
Su Lu wanted to say sothing else.
But it seed that Qiao Li could tell that Su Lu wasn’t ready to accept or even consider starting sothing new.
Not wanting her to say sothing she might regret or to make her feel embarrassed, he quickly added, “I don’t an to insist on anything.
You don’t have to be nervous or troubled.
Su Zhe just ntioned it in passing; you can just listen and let it go.
No pressure.”
Su Lu bit her lip in silence for a mont and then nodded, “Sorry, then… I should get going.”
The elevator doors opened behind her, and she turned and walked in.
Qiao Li watched her from outside the elevator, smiling at her tenderly.
Only when the elevator doors had closed, and he watched the floor numbers reach Su Lu’s level, did Qiao Li feel at ease to leave.
He left the apartnt building, walked to the parking spot, settled in the back seat of his car, and opened the mobile app to call a rideshare driver.
While waiting for the rideshare to arrive, he dialed Su Zhe’s number.
It rang a few tis before Su Zhe picked up, “Did you get her ho?”
“Yep.”
“Looking at the ti, looks like Lulu didn’t invite you up for a cup of tea,” Su Zhe’s voice sounded indifferent, tinged with languor.
“Yeah,” Qiao Li sighed.
Su Zhe didn’t spare him any pity and rebuked him bluntly, “Useless.”
“Ah,” Qiao Li responded resignedly, “And I can’t even argue with that.”
“In my eyes, my sister is a treasure,” Su Zhe would be protective even if soone just glanced at Su Lu, feeling as if they were stealing her away.
He felt anyone wanting to be with her was gaining a huge advantage.
That didn’t exclude even a good friend like Qiao Li.
“So that’s why she looks down on ,” Qiao Li said with self-deprecating resignation.
Su Zhe didn’t intend to comfort him; he seed to agree with Qiao Li’s self-defeatist attitude and even twisted the knife further, “Oh, then I might as well introduce you to Su Jiao soday.”
“I’ve never seen anyone make friends like you do; I really chose poorly,” Qiao Li said.
Su Zhe chuckled lowly, paused for a few seconds, his voice becoming more earnest, “Anyway, man up, will you?”
“I will,” Qiao Li glanced at an incoming call, “All right, that’s enough.
My rideshare is here.
I’m off.”
Su Zhe hung up even more quickly than him.
Soon, a rideshare driver wearing a uniform and helt ca their way, riding a foldable electric scooter.
He folded the scooter, placed it in the trunk of Qiao Li’s car, and then drove off.
Not far away, under a tree in a parking spot, there was a luxury car parked.
The car was very quiet.
Quiet to the point of being almost solemn.
A mont later, the silence was broken.
“So, do we…
leave now?”
The person in the driver’s seat, holding the steering wheel, asked with so trepidation, looking at the person in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Even though the lighting was poor, one could almost sense, just by feeling, the extrely bad mood of the person in the back seat.
Not getting a reply from the back after a long wait, the person in the driver’s seat had no choice but to stiffen up and ask again, “You’re not planning…
to stay here overnight, are you?
She’s already gone ho; she probably won’t co down again.”
Still no response.
The driver, resigned, could only call out, “Brother, say sothing.”
Only then did she hear the slightly heavy breathing of the man in the back seat, as if he was holding back so emotion that was about to burst forth.
“I think I never should have listened to you,” Bo Jingshen’s voice was deep, sounding sowhat somber.
Jing Ruo said helplessly, “Are you sure?”
As Jing Ruo spoke, she glanced in the rear-view mirror; a black business car was parked at the entrance of the residential area behind them, it had been there since they drove by.
Bo Jingshen had of course noticed this, so now that he caught Jing Ruo’s look, he sighed lightly, knowing her suggestion was the right one.
Jing Ce, that old fox, covered his tracks so well that who knows what he might do.
And he, Bo Jingshen, simply couldn’t afford to gamble or lose when it ca to Su Lu, when it ca to this woman.
So, he could only follow Jing Ruo’s advice and keep an absolute distance from Su Lu for the ti being.
Simply coming to stake out her house to see her was already an exception.
Jing Ruo driving him here was kind of providing cover for him; even with that, it wasn’t hard to notice the ‘tail’ following them.
Seeing Su Lu laughing and talking with Qiao Li as they walked from that building back to the one she lived in, Bo Jingshen almost crushed his teeth, holding back the impulse to rush out of the car.
Luckily, Qiao Li did not go up with her, but only saw her into the elevator before leaving.
Jing Ruo offered consolation, “That seems to be her company’s new assistant.
Don’t be too sensitive.”
As Jing Ruo tried to persuade him, she only hoped Bo Jingshen could calm down more, lest Jing Ce really find a loophole to exploit.
But no sooner had the words fallen than she heard Bo Jingshen squeeze out through clenched teeth, “He even touched her head!”
Bo Jingshen sneered, “Would Cheng Yan dare to touch my head?
Would Zhuang Cainan dare?
Unless they don’t want their jobs anymore!”
Jing Ruo, feeling helpless, suddenly turned around and patted Bo Jingshen on the head, “I dare, I just did it.
Are you satisfied now?”
Bo Jingshen glared at her with a frown, “But you’re my little sister.
That’s different.”
Jing Ruo thought to herself, how can this man, usually so rational and seemingly omnipotent, suddenly turn into a petty child?
Most importantly, she couldn’t just let this petty child be.
Otherwise, this petty child would definitely do sothing irrational.
After all, what rationality can you expect from a petty child?
Jing Ruo took a deep breath and managed a strained smile, “Are you saying you don’t allow others to be her little brother?
Didn’t you say she already had one?
Then having another one isn’t strange.”
Bo Jingshen wanted to say she was full of crap.
But Jing Ruo was quicker, “What?
Don’t tell you don’t believe it.
Don’t think I’m just talking nonsense.
Why couldn’t it be possible?
Look at , didn’t I beco your little sister out of the blue?”
Continuing, Jing Ruo added, “And you got another little sister in Jing Qiao, right?
And a little brother in Jing Su, right?
This is only because Jing Ce has only acknowledged a few of us so far; who knows how many seeds he has scattered out there.
If he acknowledges all of them, we’ll have no shortage of little brothers and sisters.
Why can’t others have a little brother?”
Good job, Jing Ruo!
Such eloquence, such logic, simply perfect.
Internally, Jing Ruo gave herself a big thumbs up.
