Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 399: Chapter 399

Hearing this, Su Zhe laughed, "Oh? You have a pretty clear understanding of where you stand, don’t you?"

Su Lu was at a loss but figured they couldn’t really exercise properly within the neighborhood anyway...

"You go ahead and run. I’m not running anymore. I just had a hard time avoiding dog poop several times on the way. Honestly, if you didn’t live here, I really wouldn’t want to stay in this area. Out of all the properties I have, this one has the worst environment and facilities," Su Zhe said, slightly frowning and pinching his nose.

Su Lu didn’t insist on completing her exercise in the neighborhood either, as she also found it quite a feat to dodge dog poop all along her run.

So, after some thought, she left with him.

She also wanted to see Shen Xun, intending to visit her own brother.

As the two went upstairs, Su Lu walked in front, smoothly inputting the password to Su Zhe’s door lock and opening it.

She was taking out slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into while Su Zhe had already walked in barefoot from the foyer.

The bedroom door opened, and a tall figure emerged. Shirtless and revealing a beautifully sculpted body, he walked up to Su Zhe. His eyes were groggy, and without noticing the signal from Su Zhe, he straightforwardly wrapped his arms around him.

His head buried in the crook of his shoulder, he mumbled in a low voice filled with endearment, "Zhe, why are you up so early and not sleeping... Without you beside me, I couldn’t sleep well either."

Su Zhe’s expression... cracked.

"Thud."

Su Lu’s expression cracked too, the slippers falling to the floor from her hands.

Shen Xun, upon hearing the noise, suddenly snapped to alertness, lifting his eyes towards the foyer. The moment his gaze met Su Lu’s, his pupils constricted, a nervous look in his eyes.

"Qianqian ah... I..." Shen Xun pressed his lips together, his brow furrowed as if he couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.

Su Lu hadn’t anticipated that her two brothers, right under her nose, for so many years, were so blatantly gay!

Su Lu wasn’t angry; she just felt... like she might have been a bit blind. How did she not notice?

Ah right, actually, she had noticed some signs, hadn’t she? But she had ignored them, always thinking they just got along well and could talk about anything. She had never thought beyond that, because, after all, how common could that be? It was already not easy for her to come across Jiang Li.

Even Ying Xi didn’t seem gay, at most led onto this winding path by Jiang Li.

How could she have imagined... her two brothers! Both of them!

"You... You two..." Su Lu pointed at him and then at Su Zhe, "You two..."

Shen Xun cared the most about his little sister, so for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

He didn’t feel great inside. He didn’t always want to keep it a secret, but he had always been a bit afraid. If Su Lu found out about it and showed a different look in her eyes, like contempt or disdain...

That would hurt much more than receiving such looks from strangers. noveldrama

For instance, the shock and disbelief on Su Lu’s face right now were already making Shen Xun feel quite uncomfortable.

Su Zhe glanced sideways, quietly observing Shen Xun’s current expression.

He withdrew his gaze, his eyes gradually becoming indifferent and calm, he said to Su Lu in a steady voice, "Don’t worry, we just occasionally help each other out, it won’t affect his future."

What... does that mean?

Su Lu’s eyes grew wide with disbelief. It was even more unbelievable than learning that her two older brothers had already been together—it wasn’t exactly that the two brothers had been together, they had just hooked up. Did that mean they were... fuck... buddies?

Shen Xun’s eyes suddenly widened, pupils constricting as he turned to glance sideways at Su Zhe in shock.

Su Zhe didn’t look at him, just calmly eyed Su Lu, hooking up a smile without any fluctuations, and reached out to touch her head. "Be good, don’t tell Aunt Zhao. We wouldn’t want her to worry."

Su Lu blinked and nodded with some difficulty. "I won’t tell, but..."

She hadn’t finished speaking when Su Zhe interrupted her. "Let’s not talk about this. Didn’t you say you missed him? There’s also the matter with Yida, you should talk to him about that too. I’ll go get you a glass of water."

With that, Su Zhe went off to the kitchen.

Su Lu was still somewhat in a daze, watching Su Zhe enter the kitchen before turning to Shen Xun, who still stood rigid in place.

"Brother, you..." Su Lu wanted to ask, Are you okay?

After all, the expression on Shen Xun’s face couldn’t be considered "okay."

However, before she could finish, Shen Xun’s expression had returned to normal, and he smiled at Su Lu, "What’s this about Yida?"

"Uh, it’s nothing, just..." Su Lu always felt Shen Xun’s current emotional state was far from okay. It didn’t seem right to give him a headache with her own issues.

Meanwhile, after Su Zhe walked into the kitchen, he didn’t go straight to the water purifier to get a glass of water, but instead, leaned against the wall as if suddenly out of strength, heaving a light, long sigh.

By the time Su Zhe came out with a cup of water, Su Lu had already finished talking to Shen Xun.

Shen Xun had also put on his shirt and looked normal, not the slightest bit off.

And Su Zhe, with his hair wet, as if he had just washed his head or face.

He placed the cup in front of Su Lu.

"Thanks, Brother," Su Lu said softly.

Regardless, although...

Seeing the two brothers together in the same frame still involuntarily reminded her of the scene where Shen Xun buried his head in Su Zhe’s shoulder, causing her to be somewhat distracted.

"I don’t even know what to say to you," Shen Xun said as he flicked Su Lu’s forehead. "Your own life is a mess, and yet you have the energy to meddle in other people’s business?"

"Uh, wherever there is injustice..."

She didn’t even finish the saying "A hero lent a hand."

Shen Xun cut in, "...a roar? Then after you have roared, why on earth did you bring the person back to your own home? Song Boyuan is crazy, can endure a lot, and is definitely a tough character. After so many years of lying low, I’ll tell you, I think he’s even more enduring and ruthless than Jing Su. His stepmother, how domineering was she in the past? Now she’s locked up in the Psychiatric Hospital, neither human nor ghost, blinded in one eye, the other nearly half blind, and one ear completely deaf."

At this point, Su Lu couldn’t help but shudder.

"And let’s not even mention his two half-brothers, who now might be sent to some Third World country to dig coal," Shen Xun added.

Of course, he didn’t mean literally digging coal, but for the sons of Beijing’s elite families, being dispatched to those small countries to expand markets was essentially the same as exile.

"And all of this happened within just a few short years; he managed to reduce his stepmother and brothers to this state. Song Boyuan is searching all over the world for Jing Qiao, and here you are, bringing her right back."
