Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant! by White Moon Lake

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Encounter

After hearing Dean Li’s words, Su Lu was silent for a long time.

So long that Dean Li couldn’t help but ask, "Su Lu, are you okay?"

Su Lu took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I’ve never asked because... I can’t remember. I can’t remember what happened before I came to the orphanage, and I don’t remember why I can’t remember."

It was a bit of a mouthful to say, but that was indeed the case.

Su Lu couldn’t remember why she couldn’t remember, but her memory before arriving at Sunshine Orphanage was a blank slate.

The only memory she had was that Xiao Yi was her younger brother. Moreover, perhaps even this memory was only retained thanks to the occasional reminders from the deans and nursery staff at the orphanage.

"But, there should be records for admission, right?" Su Lu asked. "Dean, you should know how I ended up here."

"Ah," Dean Li sighed softly, "Yes, I know. However, I’ve always felt that it might be better not to know, and this was also the advice given by the psychologist at the time. So, if you hadn’t asked, I indeed had no plans to bring it up voluntarily."

"Now... can you tell me?" Su Lu asked.

Dean Li was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking softly and smoothly, "After the police rescued you, they brought you to our orphanage."

"Rescued? From... where?" Su Lu, for so many years, was finally trying to touch the truth of her origins.

Before this, she had wondered why she ended up in the orphanage; she always thought that she and Xiao Yi were simply abandoned.

Although it didn’t make sense however she thought about it—both she and Xiao Yi were healthy, with keen ears and sharp eyes.

Moreover, it could be understood if she, being a girl, was abandoned, but Xiao Yi was a boy. Even with a preference for boys over girls, it shouldn’t extend to abandoning a boy too.
