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

Chapter 510: Chapter 510 Bo Jingshen: "..." Why does it feel like he's cursing? When Bo Yuan saw Bo Jingshen's expression, he could only repeat himself, "Your father, Jing Ce." Bo Yuan explained, "The Nursing Department is in the back." Bo Jingshen understood the meaning of his words, and to be honest, it was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, years ago, after Jing Ce was injured by Zhou Xiaochu and Bo Jingshen took the blfor his mother, he hadn't seen Jing Ce again.

He had only learned about Jing Ce's subsequent condition through the words of Jing Su and Jing Ruo, knowing that he was recuperating in a nursing home, with his condition fluctuating between good and bad.

At first, it was a long period of coma, then intermittent awakeness, and later he could finally stay awake. However, due to the extended coma and the brain damage caused by the bleeding, his mobility was greatly affected.

Progress through difficult rehabilitation sessions could only enable him to stand with the help of a walker for a while, because he was no longer young, and neither his recovery speed nor his bodily functions were that easy anymore.

So more often, he was bedridden for long periods. It was better to have an extended stay in a nursing hwith well-equipped facilities than to move back home.

Bo Jingshen knew that Jing Ce was later being taken care of in a nursing home, but he had no idea that it was actually in Taiheng Nursing Department.

Jing Su occasionally cto visit, but to be honest, he really had no feelings for Jing Ce.

If it weren't for the unavoidable ties of blood, Jing Su probably wouldn't want to come.

"I didn't expect him to be staying here," Bo Jingshen said.

Jing Qiao beside him also appeared somewhat surprised, clearly unaware of this as well.

Bo Yuan said, "He has been transferred here for a while now. Your eldest uncle probably didn't want his news to affect your moods, so he didn't tell you." Jing Qiao felt a bit emotional; though their eldest brother was usually very serious, he was actually very gentle with them, his younger brothers and sisters.

Even just now, all he mentioned was to check out the back, without bringing up anything about Jing Ce.

He must have thought that Jing Qiao already had it tough enough and there was no need to disturb her with news about Jing Ce.

And Bo Jingshen had just successfully proposed to Su Lu with great difficulty; after ten years of twists and turns, he was finally about to get his wish ctrue, so there was no need to spoil his mood with news about Jing Ce.

Xiao Cai Zi left Bo Yuan's ward and headed to Song Jining's office. In fact, there was nothing important to do, so she just discussed the Mid-Autumn Festival menu with the restaurant staff.

Standing at the window listlessly listening to the restaurant manager reporting the preliminary set menu for the festival.

"...That's the C set menu. The price is a bit higher, but due to the inclusion of premium drinks and having Australian lobster and king crab, the cost-performance rais still reasonable. President Xiao, what do you think?" Xiao Cai Zi, while counting the people passing by the window below, said absent-mindedly, "Change the king crab to hairy crab, the kind that's over a pound each, that's more seasonal. Choose a good-quality rice wine, and then lower the price." "Okay," the manager noted down her instructions and asked, "Is there anything else President Xiao would like to adjust?" But he didn't wait for Xiao Cai Zi's voice.

She didn't speak; her gaze firmly fixed on the scene below.

Her finger, originally resting on the window glass, followed a person passing by, counting each one.

At the moment, her finger was firmly pressed against the glass, her fingertip turning slightly white.

From her angle, she could perfectly see the man in the black shirt standing upright under the tree, a cigarette perched between his lips, his head bowed to light it.

He smoked silently, his entire figure appearing very thin.

Xiao Cai Zi's fingers were clenched tightly, and her lips were pressed firmly together.

It wasn't until she heard the restaurant manager's voice on the other end of the phone that her thoughts returned, "President Xiao? President Xiao, are you still listening?" "I'm listening," Xiao Cai Zi said, "There's nothing else. Just give each set meal an auspicious name, rather than just calling them Set A or Set B-it lacks a festive atmosphere. I can't think of anything else right now, I'll add more if something comes up." "Okay." After the call ended, the man under the tree had also finished smoking a cigarette.

She had thought he would leave, but he didn't. He just stood there for a while, then lit another cigarette-with the frequency he was smoking... it was indeed somewhat exaggerated.

She remembered that he used to have a pack of cigarettes that he barely touched even when they becdamp with humidity.

Xiao Cai Zi didn't want to watch anymore. She turned around and took a few deep breaths.

Whatever her emotions were, she tried her best to suppress them, picked up her phone, opened a short-videothat was a good time-killer, and began scrolling through. Tdid indeed pass quickly this way.

She didn't know how much thad passed; when she looked out the window again, the slim and tall figure was no longer there.

Song Ji Ning walked in, "I'm sorry, have you been waiting long?" "It's fine," Xiao Cai Zi smiled at him, "Are you done with your work?"

"More or less," sighed Song Ji Ning, shaking his head helplessly. During his visits to the elder's wards, he had faced a barrage of criticisms-as if they were just short of poking at his spine. There was no helping it; such were these relatives, wielding their seniority to lord over others. They had even dared to pester Song Boyuan and the others before.

And Song Ji Ning was no different.

Xiao Cai Zi quite understood his helplessness and smiled encouragingly, "Just bear with it." "There's not much else I can do," Song Ji Ning glanced at his watch and said, "Xiaozi, wait forto change clothes, then I'll go with you to the restaurant for a tasting." "Sounds good," Xiao Cai Zi had just nodded when the office door was knocked on. A nurse walked in, "Dr. Song..." In an instant, Song Ji Ning frowned.

The nurse said, "There's an emergency surgery that requires your presence." Because Taiheng Hospital didn't have an emergency department, there rarely were moments of utter chaos, and instances of emergency surgery were infrequent.

But infrequency didn't mean it never happened; there were unavoidable circumstances, suck as a patient's condition suddenly deteriorating even after a surgery had been scheduled, necessitating immediate surgery. And now, clearly, one of those instances had occurred.

Song Ji Ning looked at Xiao Cai Zi, "Xiaozi, I'm sorry..." Xiao Cai Zi knew that her plan to join Song Ji Ning for a tasting at her restaurant today was probably not going to happen.

She wasn't angry, and for sreason, she didn't feel there was anything to be angry about, "It's fine, your work is important. Go ahead."

Ever since she had agreed to this i was arranged marriage, Xiao Cai Zi was fully aware of the nature of Song Ji Ning's job, which was bound to have many such unexpected situations that required her understanding. Her gentle demeanor made Song Ji Ning feel somewhat ashamed, "I'm sorry, let's do the tasting tomorrow, okay?" Perhaps it was also because she had no expectations that Xiao Cai Zi always understood very well.
