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

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: There’s No One Quite Like Mom in the World

Listening to her mother’s words, Su Lu couldn’t help but rub her nose and gave a small smile, "I miss you."

Zhao Ying laughed on the other end, "Is that so?"

"Really, Xiao Le misses you too. He keeps babbling about grandma all day long—you know, he’s become a bit of a chatterbox lately." Su Lu smiled helplessly, "I never dreamed he’d turn into such a talker when he was slower learning to speak than other kids his age."

Zhao Ying: "Xiao Le has it tough too, you get anxious when he speaks slowly, and complain when he talks too much."

"I’m not complaining!" Su Lu dragged out her words, "That’s not the point."

"The point is you miss me?" asked Zhao Ying.

"Yeah, and I also miss your braised pork," said Su Lu.

Zhao Ying thought it over and then said, "Okay, I’ll come over after I finish up some things."

Su Lu was curious, "Has the company been busy lately?"

Zhao Ying’s business had grown large, but in recent years, she had gradually handed it over to Shen Xun. Shen Xun, though naturally talented in business, had never been interested, devoting all his energy to searching for his sister.

But now that his sister had been found, and since he had retired from the search team due to an injury, even though he could have returned to Feng City for further convalescence, he wasn’t foolish. Having finally found his sister, who also had a child now,

he wouldn’t leave even if someone tried to push him out. How could he possibly leave voluntarily? He quickly returned to Beijing to help Ms. Zhao with the business.

Zhao Ying said, "No, what’s there to be busy about in the company? Manager Shen is quite capable. With him there, I actually have quite a lot of free time."

"Then you mentioned you were busy," Su Lu curled up on the bed, hugged the soft blanket, settled into the coziest position, and enjoyed talking on the phone with her mom. She quite liked this setup, something she had never dared to dream of in her previous twenty-plus years.
