“Su Lu.” Bo Jingshen spat out two words, but his tone didn’t change much.

However, Jiang Su fell silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before speaking in a leisurely manner, “Oh, Su Lu.”

He spoke a little slower and did not deliberately drag out the syllables. However, his speed of speech was always just right. When he slowed down a little, it always sounded a little meaningful.

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly, “Hmm.”

He was already prepared to be teased by Jiang Su, but Bo Jingshen was surprised when Jiang Su did not tease him. He only chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to contact Su Lu later.”

Just when Bo Jingshen thought that Jiang Su wouldn’t say anything more, another message came through.

“In theory, this is your private matter, and I shouldn’t say much about it. But considering our friendship over the years, I’ll give you a word of caution.”

“Hmm?” Bo Jingshen expressed his confusion.

Jiang Su continued, “Su Yukang isn’t the issue here. He’s just a scumbag. The real problem in the Su family is Su Yukang’s eldest son, Su Zhe. Although he hasn’t developed in Feng City, he’s a smart, composed, and cunning individual. He’s no ordinary character, so you might want to be a bit cautious.”

Bo Jingshen asked, still puzzled, “Me? Be cautious of what he might do?”

Jiang Su responded, “Su Zhe is an extremely indifferent person, especially cold. Although I’m not a good person, at least I still have a few friends in the circle whom I can engage with. But Su Zhe doesn’t have any. It’s as if he’s not interested or concerned about anything.”

Bo Jingshen replied, “So?”

Jiang Su explained, “For someone so cold, he’s an undeniable sister complex.”

Bo Jingshen was speechless.

For a moment, he did not know what to say.

Jiang Su chuckled softly, “To be precise, he’s not solely a sister complex. Su Yukang has two daughters, but Su Zhe only treats Su Lu differently. He probably wouldn’t even blink if the other sister died in front of him. Maybe it’s because she’s a stepsister? In any case, when Su Lu was arranged to marry into the Gu family, Su Zhe severed all ties with Su Yukang and left the Su family.”

Bo Jingshen… had never expected such a complicated situation.

“Anyway, I’m just reminding you. Be careful.”

“Got it.” Bo Jingshen responded.

The two of them didn’t exchange any more voice messages, but Bo Jingshen appeared distracted while looking at the documents on his tablet, resulting in decreased efficiency.

After a while, Jiang Li sent a voice message to Bo Jingshen.

Her excitement was palpable as if he was about to kneel before Bo Jingshen.

“Brother Shen! My brother said he will invest in me! You’re truly amazing! Whatever project you’re willing to invest in, my brother will surely be willing to invest as well.”

Bo Jingshen had initially been too lazy to reply, but he remembered the contents of Xu Ning’s phone call.

He sent a message back to Jiang Li, “Since you’re so grateful and don’t know what to say, why don’t you help me with something?”

Jiang Li immediately expressed his willingness to do anything.

Bo Jingshen didn’t immediately tell him what to do. He simply said, “Just wait. I’ll tell you what to do when I need you to do something.”

Then, he no longer had the intention to continue reading the documents.

The woman next to him was sleeping so soundly that he couldn’t help but want to lie down with her.

It sapped his motivation to work.

Bo Jingshen casually placed the tablet on the bedside table and lay down. He reached out with his long arm, pulling the fragrant and soft petite body next to him into his embrace. He closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Su Lu slept deeply. When she opened her eyes, she felt as though it was already dark outside.

“Oh my god, how long did I sleep…” she whispered to herself.

Before she could finish speaking, a deep male voice came from behind her.

“Not long, just eight hours. From eight in the morning to four in the afternoon. If you didn’t know, you’d think you had jet lag.”

Only then did Su Lu realize that she wasn’t leaning against a pillow but against a man!

Then Su Lu remembered that Bo Jingshen had gone into the bathroom to take a shower before she fell asleep.

She had been a little nervous at the time, but what happened? She ended up sleeping for eight hours. Unbelievable.

“Why… Why are you still here?” Su Lu bit her lip and asked.

“Then where should I go? I’ve already checked out,” Bo Jingshen replied, paying no attention to whether her body was stiff or not.

He had no intention of letting her go. From the moment Su Lu woke up, she felt the warm restraints on her waist. It was from his arms.

“Let me go, I’m getting up,” Su Lu said.

Not only did Bo Jingshen show no signs of letting her go, but he even tightened his embrace a little, as if he were holding a pillow. He nuzzled his chin against her shoulder. “Since it’s already this late, why don’t we lie here for a while longer and get up to have dinner?”

Su Lu’s heart had a small feeling like soap bubbles rising.

Her body, which had been a little stiff, gradually relaxed.

The lazy feeling gradually dissipated.

This feeling of rising like soap bubbles were called laziness. It was commonly seen among workaholics during statutory holidays.

It was usually expressed as “I’ll just lie down a little longer and then get up.”

The previously tense, uncomfortable, and even somewhat embarrassed emotions gradually gave way to a sense of abandonment and relaxation.

“Never mind, why bother being tense, stiff, uncomfortable, or embarrassed?” Su Lu thought to herself. “Su Lu, you’ve already dared to agree to be someone’s bed partner! What more do you want…” Su Lu thought.

With such self-abandonment in mind, Su Lu’s initial discomfort gradually dissipated. And because she was facing away from Bo Jingshen, there was no eye contact, so it wasn’t too awkward.

Su Lu’s tone became more relaxed as she spoke.

“What are we having for dinner?”

“Should I have some king crabs delivered again? Don’t you love eating these delicacies? It’s better to eat them now, as tomorrow you’ll have to undergo scar treatment and won’t be able to eat them anymore.”

Su Lu had almost forgotten about the scar treatment… Speaking of which, she wasn’t exactly a meticulous woman if she didn’t even care about her face.

But he always remembered. From booking the specialist to arranging the meeting and treatment, he didn’t forget a thing.

A small bubble rose in Su Lu’s heart, and her voice became softer. “I don’t love eating these delicacies…”

With the current scene and the current state of the two of them, coupled with these whispered words, it resembled the intimate murmurs between lovers.

Bo Jingshen clicked his tongue. “Remember those days when there were fried crabs on skewers for only two yuan each at street stalls? I saw you eating them so eagerly, almost chewing the skewer itself.”

Su Lu was speechless.

To be honest, which girl didn’t love to eat crispy, fried crabs? They were fried to perfection, coated with spicy oil, crunchy with every bite, and had the unique aroma of crabs. Who wouldn’t love them?
