Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!-Chapter 68 - Already Known

I’m not free tonight, busy here,” Cheng You Ran said, and Su Lu could hear the sound of emergency calls coming from her end.

Cheng You Ran didn’t say much else, hurriedly hung up the phone.

“Better to rely on oneself than others.” Su Lu took out a calming bath bomb from the cupboard, filled the tub with hot water, and took a bath.

Sure enough, right after the bath, she felt drowsy.

Too lazy to drain the water, she climbed straight into bed, feeling like there wasn’t much of a problem.

But in the middle of the night, the problem arrived.

Nightmares, endless nightmares, either being chased or beaten, it felt like there was no peace at all, sleeping was exhausting.

Convulsions, cold sweat, struggling to wake from the dreams, and the clock showed it was just two in the morning.

She felt hot all over, and her temperature was 39.5 degrees.

She rummaged through her medicine cabinet, which had stomach and wound medicines, but not a single fever or pain reducer.

Su Lu ordered medicine delivery through her phone, then wrapped herself in a blanket with a cup of hot water, nesting on the sofa under the warm light of the living room floor lamp, waiting for the delivery to arrive.

About twenty minutes passed, and the intercom buzzer at the building’s entrance rang.

Wrapped in a blanket, Su Lu went over, picked up the receiver, and the delivery man’s face appeared on the intercom video wearing a blue safety helmet, “Hello, I’m here with your medicine!”

But Su Lu’s focus wasn’t on his face, because she saw the man standing behind him smoking, revealing half of his profile.

Because he was turned to the side, the outline of half of his face was visible, and even though the intercom video’s resolution was very poor,

that faultless perfect contour was still striking enough to catch the eye.

“Hello?” the delivery man, not getting a response, asked again.

“Ah, oh, wait a second, I… I’m coming down to get it,” Su Lu said softly.

The delivery man, happy not to go upstairs, immediately responded, “Alright then, I appreciate it.”

Su Lu hastily shuffled downstairs in her slippers; the elevator arrived quickly even at this late hour.

Perhaps it was the fever that made her impatience flare because during that brief time, she kept staring at the numbers jumping atop the elevator, barely able to wait.

Inside the elevator, as it descended, that same feeling of restlessness prevailed as she watched the floor numbers tick down.

Until the ding of the elevator door opening.

The coolness and slight mustiness of the first floor entrance hall, which rarely saw sunlight, rushed into her nostrils.

Su Lu hurried out and opened the door to the building.

“Hey, hello, Miss Su, right?

This is the medicine you ordered,” the delivery man handed over a paper bag.

Su Lu took it, absent-mindedly staring past the delivery guy.

But the man she had seen smoking behind her in the security video was gone, as if…

the sight in the video had been nothing more than a hallucination born from her fever.

“Thank you,” Su Lu said to the delivery guy, pausing for a moment, she couldn’t resist asking, “Did you just see—”

“Hm?

See what?” The delivery guy waited for her to continue.

Su Lu paused, then shook her head lightly, “It’s nothing, never mind.

Thanks.”

“Alright then, have a good rest, goodbye,” the delivery guy said as he finally turned to leave.

Su Lu didn’t immediately close the door to her unit.

She leaned against the glass door, looking outside for a moment, but she didn’t see the man from the security video.

She lowered her eyes, pursing her lips to close the glass door.

Just as the glass door was about to shut, a figure darted forward, a slender hand reaching out to stop the door.

Given her past experience of having her car window smashed and being threatened, Su Lu should have felt fear in this sudden situation, should have been scared.

After all, even under normal conditions, a person appearing out of nowhere would startle anyone.

But strangely, she wasn’t frightened at all.

Su Lu just paused, suddenly looking up to meet Bo Jingshen’s deep-set eyes.

The man in front of her, dressed in casual attire, even wearing a pair of clogs on his feet, was exactly the same as the one she had seen on the video upstairs.

It wasn’t a fever-induced illusion.

He had appeared just as suddenly again.

Just staring at her like that, his hand gently touched her face.

It seemed that he found the temperature of her skin unsatisfactory, as his thick brows furrowed tightly.

Su Lu was feverish, her ears buzzing, but she could still vaguely hear him mutter softly, “I knew it.”

Su Lu was confused, not catching on.

What did he know?

Bo Jingshen took the bag of medicine from her hand, his other hand holding her wrist, leading her through the building’s door.

Su Lu stared at the bandage wrapped around his hand, unable to look away.

The elevator door opened, and Bo Jingshen led her inside.

Her gaze was still fixed on his bandaged hand, her mind dull as if lagging behind.

So it wasn’t until Bo Jingshen pinched her chin to lift her head that Su Lu finally came to her senses and pressed the button for her floor.

Bo Jingshen nonchalantly pocketed his bandaged hand in his trouser pocket.

With a ding, the elevator reached the floor.

Approaching the door, Su Lu’s mind was still sluggish, but basic instincts kicked in, and she pushed open the sliding cover of the digital lock.

On the keypad illuminated by blue light, she pressed the six digits; the blue light turned green, the cover slid shut, and the door opened.

Everything was normal, just as it always was when she came home; not a single step was missed despite her foggy brain.

Except, she missed one detail—the six-digit code for her door lock was someone’s birthday.

And right now, that person was standing beside her, holding her wrist, watching clearly as she entered his birthday on the door’s digital keypad.
