Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Empty Nesters Now?

Moreover, Su Lu herself didn’t realize that throughout the entire day, the incessant flow of messages had continued; photos, voice messages, and text messages.

At first, she was indeed somewhat irritated, but later on, without even being aware of it, she had a mind to wait for her phone to ring, seemingly with a faint sense of anticipation, unbeknownst to her.

So when the phone rang again, Su Lu picked it up quickly, only to be startled to see it wasn’t a message from Bambi but a call from Qiao Li.

As she answered Qiao Li’s call, Su Lu felt a tinge of guilt.

Su Lu spoke softly, "Brother Qiao."

Qiao Li’s voice sounded somewhat weary but still carried a gentle smile, "Yeah, Lulu, how is Xiaole? Is he okay?"

"He’s much better; don’t worry." Su Lu asked, "How about you? You sound tired. Is work not going well?"

Qiao Li sighed deeply on the other end, "Yeah, work... it’s not going smoothly. I’ve been tripped up by someone and I’m stuck here, unable to return to Feng City."

Su Lu was taken aback for a moment and after a while said, "I see..."

"Yeah," Qiao Li continued, "Let’s not talk about that. But, Lulu, you mentioned before that you wanted me to take Xiaole to Three Gardens with you. Can you wait for me?"

"I will try to finish up work as soon as possible and hurry back, to go to Three Gardens with you and Xiaole. I have even made the plans already," said Qiao Li.

Su Lu fell silent for a few seconds, her mind involuntarily flashing back to the photo of Bo Jingshen with Zhao Xiaole, their resemblance so striking, and Xiaole looking so happy.

But Su Lu only paused for a few seconds before nodding, "Alright, I understand. Then we’ll wait for you to come back to take Xiaole to Three Gardens. But you have to hurry up; the little guy isn’t always the most patient."

Qiao Li seemed much relieved to hear this and laughed, "Okay, I’ll make an effort to come back as soon as possible."
