Chapter 394: Chapter 394
After ending the call with Zhao Ying, Su Lu looked towards Jing Qiao, “Alright, no need to worry, you can stay with .”
Jing Qiao replied ekly, “Thank you, sister-in-law, I really appreciate it, even though I’m causing you so much trouble.”
Her politeness was unmistakable.
However, instead of dwelling on her politeness, Su Lu was more tangled up about how she addressed her, “Could you… not call sister-in-law?”
Jing Qiao smiled and did not say anything, instead, she glanced at Bo Jingshen.
Seeing Bo Jingshen’s expression, Jing Qiao’s smile deepened, and she turned to Su Lu, “I can’t do that, you are my brother’s lover, other titles would not be accurate.”
Originally, Su Lu had felt slightly embarrassed due to the title alone, but now, the whole sentence made her blush.
“Mom!” Zhao Xiaole ran in excitedly, looking very happy with rosy cheeks.
“Hm? What did you play? You look so happy,” Su Lu asked.
Zhao Xiaole pounced onto her legs, then lifted a beaming smile, “There are so many robots!”
Speaking, he lifted his little hand with a white, soft, sticky little figure in it, which looked like a sweet rice dumpling, “This one! This one, this one!”
Su Lu looked at the white figure in his hand, “Hm, what about it?”
“This one has the sa na as , it’s also called Xiao Le!” Zhao Xiaole exclaid joyfully, then pinched the little figure’s hand.
Upon seeing the white sweet rice dumpling-like figure, what should be called the head area, suddenly lit up with a pair of blue horizontal lines, which were probably ant to signify eyes?
The blue horizontal lines then gradually curved up, forming two blue arches.
The figure, which had initially appeared to be a soft and floppy sweet rice dumpling, promptly flipped over in the palm of Zhao Xiaole and stood up.
Su Lu’s attention was also captivated; to be honest, this was cuter than the robots available on the market.
Especially the flexible and pliant texture it had when it stood up.
In the palm of Zhao Xiaole, facing him, the figure put one hand on its chest and bowed in a very polite gesture as a sweet voice rang out, “Hello, I am your intelligent little butler Bo Xiaole. May I inquire if there’s anything I can do to serve my master?”
Su Lu couldn’t help but turn to look at Bo Jingshen, “This is so novel? It feels better than those on the market; no wonder Zhao Xiaole can’t take his eyes off it.”
Bo Jingshen chuckled lowly, “It’s a new product from the developnt departnt; I was involved in the design. This is just a prototype model; it needs more ti to be perfected before hitting the market. We’re far from that stage. When the actual samples are made, they will be made one to one in size with the human body, intended to be fully anthropomorphic, but getting approval in the country might not be so straightforward.”
No matter how large Boss’s business spread in China now and how broad its business scope was, at the end of the day, its foundation was in technology. Hence, there had been consistent investnt in this area and continuous developnt.
There had been significant outcos over the years, especially in the smart ho segnt, outperforming most product lines on the market.
So the latest prototype model that Zhao Xiaole was holding, which is also smart ho-related, was sort of like a central control robot but encompassed interaction and anthropomorphization, and it had very many modules added, such as simulated emotions. Therefore, it was more than just for controlling smart ho appliances.
Su Lu mulled over the little robot’s na a bit; Bo Xiaole? Was it supposed to an Bo Xiaole?
She couldn’t help but glance at Bo Jingshen, “Did you pick this na?”
Bo Jingshen nodded, “Yes, I nad it.”
Su Lu couldn’t help but sigh softly inside, saying nothing at the mont.
In the evening, Su Lu took Zhao Xiaole to have dinner together with Bo Jingshen and the siblings Jing Qiao.
It must be said, Su Lu was really satisfied with her suggestion to let Jing Qiao stay with her, because… she was truly outstanding.
From all aspects, really.
First off, she was a natural at childcare.
Su Lu even suspected she’d undergone specialized training or sothing because, whether it was soothing a child or playing with them, she had a knack for it.
She captured Zhao Xiaole’s affection with the fastest speed.
Auntie had quickly beco one of his favorite won.
Consequently, Su Lu’s life beca a breeze; she didn’t even need to look after the child herself. Any mother could relate to the feeling—children on vacation ant mythical creatures returning to their cages—it was simply fantastic.
But with soone helping, whether the creature was caged beca entirely irrelevant.
Zhao Xiaole was already a relatively easy child to take care of. In the past, al tis for Su Lu were always like going into battle.
But now with Jing Qiao present, Su Lu could eat a al at her own leisurely pace.
When they had almost finished eating, Jing Qiao took Zhao Xiaole to wash their hands and, incidentally, to look at the fish in the restaurant’s scenic pond.
Bo Jingshen poured a cup of tea for Su Lu, “So, about Jing Qiao’s matter, you’re the one who’s going to be bothered?”
Su Lu glanced sideways at him, “Knowing that you’re troubling , shouldn’t you be offering tea with both hands at least?”
Her eyebrows arched, her tone teasing.
Bo Jingshen gave a low chuckle and presented the cup with both hands.
“Ah Shen.”
Su Lu suddenly called him.
This address made Bo Jingshen’s heart skip a beat, “Hmm?”
“Do you, perhaps… want Xiao Le to take your surna?”
Bo Jingshen was silent for two seconds before shaking his head, “I don’t have that fixation. Don’t overthink it. The robot’s na, it’s because the R&D departnt thought the two characters ‘Xiao Le’ were too simple, sowhat monotonous or lacking in recognition, so they planned a three-character na and added one.”
Su Lu really didn’t mind the issue of whom the child shared a surna with.
She wouldn’t be like others who felt, “I gave birth to this child, I nearly lost my life, why can’t he take my surna…?” and so on.
To Su Lu’s view, the more one obsessed over surnas, the more it indicated a concession to patriarchy. Otherwise, why worry about which surna to use? The more one fixated on the surna issue, the more it seed they believed only sharing their surna could validate their status…
The saying “the more you lack sothing, the more you flaunt it” was exactly the point—Su Lu could not have cared less.
Moreover, her identity card still bore the two characters “Su Lu.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to change it; it’s just that in modern society, changing one’s na is too much of a hassle—it’s just not worth the trouble.
Therefore, without waiting for Bo Jingshen to continue his explanation, Su Lu said, “It doesn’t matter. If you want Xiao Le to take your surna in the future, I won’t mind.”
Bo Jingshen: “…”
What could he say? He was at a loss for words; he just wanted to hold her tightly.
He sighed softly, “Won’t you feel wronged at all?”
Su Xiaolu smiled and looked up at him, “If I felt wronged and dwelled on such matters, then I wouldn’t have kept Xiao Le to begin with. I’ve never been one to fuss over such trivialities.”
