Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: I Will Protect You

"Uh..." Ji Fulian did not react immediately, probably because he had not expected Su Zhe from Feng City to look like this.

He blinked in a daze before he realized and hastily said, "Brother Su, oh no, Mr. Su, hello, I’m Ji Fulian..."

Ji Fulian’s name was unique, and Su Zhe remembered it upon hearing it.

"Oh." The displeasure on Su Zhe’s face faded slightly, but he remained indifferent, "From the Ji Family, eh. How do you know Lulu?"

Su Zhe stared at Ji Fulian, his eyes full of inquiry. It was as if he were worried that Ji Fulian had approached Su Lu for business reasons since the Ji Family had been wanting to discuss cooperation with him for a while.

Under that gaze, Ji Fulian’s scalp tingled, feeling even more nervous than when scolded by his elders at home.

He hurriedly waved his hands, instinctively using an explanatory tone, "Don’t get me wrong, Miss Su was brought to my racetrack by a friend, and that’s how we met."

Su Zhe’s expression remained the same as he glanced at Su Lu, "Oh, went to play with racing cars too."

Su Lu felt her scalp tighten under her brother’s gaze, "Just... went to have a casual look."

Ji Fulian continued, "Miss Su felt a bit unwell, and I happened to be free, so I brought her back."

Su Zhe: "Oh, felt unwell too."

Ji Fulian nodded, "Yes, Miss Su got a bit carsick."

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow at Su Lu, "Went out to have fun racing and ended up making yourself carsick."

Su Lu whispered, "Brother, I..."

Su Zhe raised a hand to make a zipping motion across his mouth, signaling her to be silent, and Su Lu obediently closed her mouth.

Su Zhe then turned to Ji Fulian, showing a faint and polite smile, "Thank you, Young Master Ji, for bringing my sister home. It’s getting late today, but if you have time later, we can have a chat to see if there’s an opportunity for cooperation."

Ji Fulian’s eyes lit up. He was indeed lucky today; coming to drop off Miss Su was the right decision.

Ji Fulian: "Certainly, I will!"

Su Zhe then asked another question, "By the way, I have another question I’m curious about."

Ji Fulian: "Please, ask away, Mr. Su. I’ll tell you everything I know."

Su Zhe nodded slightly, "Who was it... that took my sister to the racetrack today?"

Ji Fulian didn’t think too much about it, but subconsciously felt like he needed to protect Jiang Li, so while Su Lu and her companions had gone to the racetrack as a trio,

Ji Fulian opened his mouth, the words took a detour, and he left out Jiang Li’s name, leaving only, "Miss Su came with President Bo, the one who just returned to the country to develop the domestic market. Planning to set up a technology park in Feng City, that President Bo. You’ve heard of him, haven’t you, Mr. Su?"

Where did Su Lu know, besides Jiang Li that pig of a teammate, this Ji Fulian was also a genuine pig of a teammate!

She was well aware of her brother’s opinion of Bo Jingshen, and Ji Fulian’s words were like lighting a fuse.

However, Su Zhe was someone whose emotions were rarely outwardly expressed, and upon hearing this, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh, President Bo, of course, I’ve heard of him. I see, well then, thank you, Young Master Ji, for the information. It’s getting late; I won’t invite you up for tea. Take care."

Ji Fulian nodded, said farewell to Su Lu, happily got into his car, and left.

Su Lu stood there, feeling somewhat awkward for the moment.

"...Brother." She called out to Su Zhe softly.

Su Zhe didn’t blame her either. He rarely blamed her throughout her life, not even when she had followed Su Yukan’s wishes, and gotten herself trapped in an arranged marriage with the Gu Family.

At that time, Su Zhe had never seriously blamed her either. All his anger was vented on his biological father.

Now, of course, Su Zhe wouldn’t blame her. He simply said, "Let’s go, I just bought some food."

He lifted the bag in his hand, which was heavily filled with various foods and ingredients.

Su Lu followed him to his apartment, and while changing shoes, she asked, "I thought you didn’t eat late-night snacks?"

As she spoke, she took the shopping bag from his hand to organize it in the kitchen.

Su Zhe said, "Overseas, I didn’t want to go out at night and also lacked good things to eat."

This wasn’t a problem at home. There were things to eat no matter how late it was, and they were tasty too. Despite appearing detached from worldly desires, Su Zhe was actually quite grounded in this aspect.

So when Su Lu opened the shopping bag, she found not only a bag of foil-wrapped skewers but also several pounds of red, spicy crawfish in a sealed bag.

Su Lu: "..." noveldrama

She silently took out all the food and placed it on the kitchen counter. Su Zhe came over, opened the fridge nearby, took out a bottle of chilled beer, and placed it on the counter. Hooking a bar stool with the tip of his foot, he sat down.

He opened a can of chilled beer, took a couple of sips, then leisurely slipped on disposable gloves, contentedly peeling shrimp and munching skewers.

This left Su Lu unsure whether he had been angry earlier.

Speaking of it, Su Zhe’s unchanging demeanor could sometimes indeed be a bit annoying.

"Brother," called Su Lu, holding a pair of disposable gloves, aiming to start a conversation.

But Su Zhe simply placed two peeled shrimp in front of her, "Have some, it’s quite tasty."

"Oh... okay." Su Lu obediently ate them.

They were really tasty.

So her attention was diverted, and she too put on gloves and began peeling shrimp.

While eating, Su Zhe said, "Come back with me tomorrow."

"Oh." Su Lu responded, and only after replying did she suddenly realize, "Huh?"

"Come back with me tomorrow," Su Zhe repeated, his movements pausing as he looked up at her, "You didn’t forget, did you? I said I was going to drive them away."

Of course, Su Lu hadn’t forgotten; she simply hadn’t thought about it during this time.

"Is Su Jiao back?" Su Lu only remembered the last time she had met with that family was when Su Jiao pushed her into the sea in Hai City. Without a word, Bo Jingshen called the police and had Su Jiao arrested.

After that, because Su Zhe had returned, Su Yukan’s several attempts to pressure her were fruitless, and Su Zhe even turned the threat back on him, things had quieted down.

So Su Lu hadn’t paid any attention. To be honest, she didn’t even know if Su Jiao had returned to Feng City or not. She couldn’t deny, these peaceful days were indeed delightful.

"She returned a while ago," Su Zhe said, giving Su Lu a glance, "Did you think just that incident could keep her stranded in Hai City forever?"

Su Lu smiled, "No, I didn’t think that. But I’ve felt it’s been quite peaceful lately. It’s really nice."

Su Zhe’s gaze softened a bit when he looked at her, reflecting a mix of frustration and helplessness. But remembering how the Su Family treated her, his voice became a lot gentler.

"It will continue to be peaceful and nice. Don’t worry, your brother will protect you. I didn’t manage it years ago, that was my incapacity. From now on, it won’t happen again."
