Su Lu was actually just asking casually, a question thrown out without much thought.
When Song Boyuan heard this, he couldn’t help but glance in their direction.
Jing Qiao glanced at the screen filled with various bouquets and her first impression was... they were quite attractive.
She felt that the arrangent of these bouquets could even rival those of the flower shops in the market.
So, Jing Qiao thought for a mont, then extended her finger, tapping on the screen and chose a bouquet.
"This one," she said.
After Su Lu had chosen the flowers, she picked out a fruit basket, showing no intention of saving money for Song Boyuan. In truth, Song Boyuan didn’t need Su Lu to save money for him anyway; with Su Lu assisting, he was willing to spend any amount.
Soon, the items were all delivered.
First to arrive were the bouquet and the fruit basket.
Su Lu looked at the bouquet she had ordered and, quite satisfied, packed away the one intended for Bo Jingshen, while the other was directly placed in a vase on the cabinet in the sickroom, arranged one by one.
Then she carried the vase to the coffee table in the living room to display.
As for Jing Qiao’s bouquet, she tossed it to Jing Qiao, also casually providing her with a vase.
It was only now that Jing Qiao saw clearly; she had only glanced at the small image on the screen and hadn’t clicked to view the larger one, so she hadn’t seen the details. Receiving the actual bouquet, she discovered that the main flower was indeed a rose.
She arranged the bouquet in the vase properly, and was just about to take the vase out.
Song Boyuan stopped her, "Qiaoqiao, just leave it here."
He pointed at the bedside table.
Jing Qiao: "..."
She didn’t speak, nor did she refuse, simply placing the vase on the bedside table.
Su Lu couldn’t help feeling that she was sowhat superfluous here.
So she picked up her own food, placed it on the coffee table in the living room, sat on the sofa to eat, and bitterly took a photo to send to Bo Jingshen, feigning pitifulness.
deer: [image]
deer: Lonely boxed al.
Bambi: Why aren’t you eating with ? Where did you go to eat?
deer: Guess?
deer: Wasn’t it because you were busy with sothing? So, if I ca to find you for a al, what would we eat?
At the other end, Bo Jingshen glanced at the business set al box in front of him.
Bambi: Uh, a boxed al, I guess.
deer: That’s it, though mine might be more upscale than yours.
To be fair, Bo Jingshen could see from the photo that Su Lu’s boxed al was indeed very upscale.
Upscale, but... hmm?
Bo Jingshen took a closer look and furrowed his brows.
He imdiately dialed her number.
"What’s up?" Su Lu talked on the phone while eating.
Bo Jingshen asked, "What’s going on? Why does the logo watermark on your al box say the na of a hospital?"
"Huh?" Su Lu then noticed just how upscale the al box was—it had a watermark?
"Uh..." Su Lu bit the tip of her chopsticks.
Bo Jingshen frowned and said, "Su Lu, what are you doing at the hospital? Didn’t you tell you were busy with the gallery?"
Bo Jingshen’s tone sounded... so grievously aggrieved... it was as if he had caught a cheater in the act.
Su Lu couldn’t help but laugh, "Yes, yes, I’ve co to et my lover secretly."
Bo Jingshen managed to suppress his laughter on the other end, "How could you do this to , who loves you wholeheartedly? How will you face our child..."
Su Lu almost choked and said seriously, "Enough already, I almost choked. Hey, why does this sound so familiar? It’s killing ."
"It should sound familiar. It’s similar to the lines from the TV drama we watched last night," Bo Jingshen said. "Now you know it’s suffocating? When I watched the drama with you last night, I said that line was too much, and you told I wasn’t trendy enough to appreciate the fast-paced and lodramatic TV dramas of today."
Su Lu: "..."
It seems that sothing like this did happen.
Who would have thought that he would rember the lines that suffocated him then and use them to seek his revenge now?
Su Lu chuckled and said, "Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore."
"Mm," Bo Jingshen humd, then heard Su Lu say obediently on the other end, "Xiao Qiao called , that’s why I ca."
Su Lu simply explained the situation to him.
After listening, Bo Jingshen fell silent for a few seconds and then sounded sowhat displeased, "Really, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to step on her."
Su Lu knew that the "her" Bo Jingshen ntioned was Jing Qiao. Although he didn’t say it, he did care for his little sister to so degree.
"Don’t worry, Bo Yuan is protecting her," Su Lu said.
Bo Jingshen huffed lightly upon hearing this, "He’s quite a piece of work, too. Is that his idea of protection? Protecting so much he lands himself in the hospital? What if one day he protects himself out of existence? No wonder Jing Qiao is upset with that kind of behavior."
Su Lu thought for a mont and said, "Although I think you make sense, I used Xiao Song’s money for a al and even bought you a gift, so I should still side with him a bit."
Bo Jingshen chuckled softly on the other end, "Alright, when it’s almost over, co find . They don’t need you to look after them."
"Mhm, I’ll co find you after I finish this al." Su Lu said and then after contemplating, added, "Oh, right."
"What?"
"I’ve t Song Jining." Su Lu whispered conspiratorially.
Despite her whispering secretively, Bo Jingshen on the other end fell silent for two seconds, then his voice was a bit dry, "Ah, is that so."
Su Lu, sharp and astute as ever, imdiately realized sothing was off upon hearing Bo Jingshen’s tone.
Surely, Jing Su wasn’t... No, Jing Su was definitely right beside him.
Su Lu’s face stiffened at that mont, thinking to herself, how could this Mr. Bo be so tactless?
Why turn on the speakerphone during a private call?
In reality, Bo Jingshen had indeed found himself in a sowhat difficult position at the other end. He was eating a business al provided by Jing Su’s secretary while holding a pair of chopsticks in one hand and reviewing a docunt in the other to save ti, so when he called Su Lu, he hit the speakerphone button as soon as he dialed out.
This led to the currently awkward situation.
In fact, he was sitting on a couch in a large office.
And Jing Su was seated in the boss chair behind the desk.
Bo Jingshen wasn’t quite sure if Jing Su had heard the voice of Su Lu from the telephone, which wasn’t very loud and had been deliberately lowered because of the secretive nature of her statent.
So Bo Jingshen looked over, cautiously observing Jing Su’s facial expression. He didn’t notice anything significant and felt slightly relieved but didn’t plan to continue the conversation on that topic.
Su Lu also understood, so she took the initiative to say, "Alright, I’ll continue eating then. We’ll talk on WeChat."
"Okay," Bo Jingshen nodded.
The call ended.
At the mont it ended, Bo Jingshen saw Jing Su, who was sitting behind the desk, looking over at him.
"What is Su Lu doing at Song Jining’s hospital?"
Turns out, out of all the content discussed in the call, Jing Su hadn’t paid attention to any of it except for crystal clear hearing of the three words "Song Jining."
