Chapter 6: How Was It?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

However, the current him was more mature and reserved, deep and stern.

Bo Jingshen remained silent, only giving Gu Xin a cold glance before standing by the side.

Jiang Li waved his hand and said, “Ah, it’s nothing. You’re welcome. Besides, when we first met at Yunding, Brother Shen made you drink three glasses, and we all felt a bit guilty about it. That’s why Brother Shen stepped in to help you yesterday, and I took care of the public opinion as well.”

Gu Xin seemed surprised and asked, “Was that person yesterday Mr. Bo?”

Su Lu nodded and replied in a formal tone, “Thank you, Mr. Bo, and Young Master Jiang. However, I’ll be going on a business trip to Hai City soon, so I won’t be able to treat you to a drink after I’m discharged.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Li was taken aback. “You’re also going to Hai City?”

Bo Jingshen, who had been silently standing by, suddenly looked at her.

Su Lu blinked and said officially, “Yes, I’m going to inspect a project. By the way, is Young Master Jiang also going to Hai City?”

Jiang Li responded, “I don’t like to fuss around.” He pointed at Bo Jingshen and continued, “Bo Jingshen is going to Hai City to attend a conference.”

Gu Xin seemed to understand and asked, “Is it the technology exhibition in the Huaxia region?”

“Yes, that’s the one,” Jiang Li nodded.

Then he turned to Su Lu and said, “Could I trouble you to take care of Brother Shen during that time? He has been abroad for a few years and may not be familiar with certain things. His team is still overseas, so if you could look after him, Miss Su, I won’t send anyone with him.”

Su Lu didn’t want to agree, but considering that they had helped her, it was difficult for her to refuse. She could only reluctantly agree.

They didn’t stay for long, and Gu Xin escorted them out when he left.

The ward quieted down. Su Lu got up and went to the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, she was shocked by the tall figure standing against the wall near the door.

“You… I thought you had left,” Su Lu looked at him in shock.

Bo Jingshen smirked and said, “I saw your husband leave, so I thought about it and decided to come back.”

He leaned against the wall, trapping her between his arms. He looked down at her with a gaze that carried a sense of pressure.

Bo Jingshen chuckled. “How was it? Is it exciting?”

Su Lu frowned. He hadn’t seen this man for a few years. Why was he so unpredictable?

She was trapped between his arms and could not get out. “Please make way.”

The cold cedar fragrance on his body seemed to permeate through every pore, and Su Lu’s ears could not help but turn red.

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly, devoid of the deep resentment from their first meeting at Yunding.

Su Lu thought that perhaps that kind of revenge could bring him some relief.

“You just promised Second Young Master Jiang,” Bo Jingshen lowered his head, his lips close to her ear, his voice low and captivating. “So… how do you plan to take care of me?”

Su Lu took a deep breath, composed herself, and recalled Xu Ning’s usual job responsibilities.

Taking a professional approach, she said, “I will help you arrange the flight tickets, hotel accommodations, and local transportation. If you have any banquets or meals that need reservations, please let me know in advance.”

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow and stared at her with his deep gaze.

After a moment, he lightly tapped her neck with his finger and said, “Su Lu, I’m a little curious.”

“What about?” Su Lu asked.

Bo Jingshen’s smile was ambiguous. “As long as Gu Xin isn’t blind, he can see the marks on your neck that I left. Is he really that easy-going? Or are you both just doing what you want and turning a blind eye to the cuckoldry?”

“This is my private matter.” Su Lu raised her hand and tugged at the collar of her hospital gown, seizing the opportunity to slip out from under his arm.

“If you have nothing else to do, please leave. I need to rest.” Su Lu gestured towards the door, signaling for him to go. “I’ll send you the information for the flight tickets and hotel reservation.”

Bo Jingshen seemed unaffected, disregarding her request. He pulled out a chair and sat down, clearly indicating that he had no intention of leaving.

He lowered his eyes and scrolled with his phone and asked in a calm tone, “What’s good to eat in Feng City?”

“Salted Crispy Chicken, Braised Eel, and Partridge Congee,” Su Lu replied.

Bo Jingshen’s gaze flickered upon hearing this, and he silently tapped a few times on his phone screen.

Su Lu lay back on the hospital bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Even though five years had passed, there were still unresolved conflicts and past grievances. Back at Yunding, he had done things to her…

But subconsciously, Su Lu couldn’t help but let her guard down when he came to her.

Just like five years ago, it seemed that as long as he was by her side, she could subconsciously find peace and relaxation.

Su Lu was sound asleep when a low and magnetic voice woke her up. “Wake up, Su Lu.”

“No, I’m tired,” Su Lu murmured sleepily, not fully awake. Her voice carried a soft, affectionate tone, sounding extremely tender.

However, she quickly snapped out of it, and her whole body tensed up.

Su Lu opened her eyes and saw the deep gaze and half-smile of the man by her bedside.

“Su Lu, who do you think I am?”

“Gu Xin?”

Bo Jingshen’s voice was somewhat cold.

The corners of Su Lu’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile. Who did she think he was? She treated him as the Bo Jingshen from five years ago who was still obedient to her.

“You’re still here?” Su Lu replied with a question instead of an answer.

Bo Jingshen turned his head to the side and said, “Get up and eat.”

The cozy hospital room was a well-equipped single suite. On the nearby dining table, there were several thermal bags with the logos of renowned restaurants.

Su Lu didn’t have much of an appetite, but inexplicably, she got up and sat down at the dining table with Bo Jingshen.

A wave of palpitations washed over Su Lu. How long had it been since they sat together and had a proper meal?

They took out the food boxes from the thermal bags one by one.

Salted Crispy Chicken, Braised Eel, and Partridges Congee.

They were the three dishes Su Lu mentioned earlier.

After a while, Bo Jingshen frowned and said, “It doesn’t taste as good as when you make it.”

Su Lu was taken aback, gently biting her lip. She had cooked Feng City’s specialty dishes for him once or twice, but she didn’t expect him to remember.

Bo Jingshen said, “I never knew these were Feng City dishes.”

He didn’t know that she was from Feng City.

Back then, in order to stay away from the Su family, Su Lu had deliberately chosen a university in Hai City, which was far away from Feng City.

Due to her lack of attachment to the Su family, she rarely mentioned Feng City either.

Su Lu pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

Should she apologize? She couldn’t bring herself to apologize for what happened between them that night at Yunding.

Should she explain? Time had long passed, and the damage had long since become a scar that could not be removed.

Thus, they quietly finished their meal. Bo Jingshen didn’t stay for long, as if he had only stayed here for a meal.

After he left, Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief but felt inexplicably lost.

She dialed Xu Ning’s number. “Help me book a flight ticket and a hotel room to Hai City. I’ve sent you the name on WeChat.”

Xu Ning asked if she wanted to book the same flight and hotel as her.

Su Lu remained silent for a few seconds. “No, there’s no need. Book a different flight and a different hotel.”
