Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

26: Chapter 26 Starlight 26: Chapter 26 Starlight Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio A sudden female voice broke the atmosphere between them.

The voice was both surprised and delighted.

“Jingshen, is that you?”

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jingshen, “How long have you been abroad?

It’s surprising that someone still recognizes you upon your return.”

Jingshen remained noncommittal and took a sip of his sake.

Su Lu, with a spoon in her mouth, took small bites of the peeled white crab meat, and looked up at the owner of the voice.

It was a young and beautiful woman, well-maintained, exquisitely dressed, looking to be in her twenties.

Her well-done eye makeup was shining with surprise and delight.

She quickened her steps in high heels.

“Am I seeing this right?

It really is you!” She came up and very comfortably sat directly at their table.

Su Lu paused for a moment and licked the sauce off her lips.

Jiang Li also raised his eyebrow.

Clearly, this kind of uninvited behavior, sitting down without the owner’s permission, was completely against the etiquette the two of them had been taught.

However, they said nothing.

To be precise, this uninvited guest almost sat directly next to Jingshen.

If it weren’t for the spacious restaurant sofa, she seemed like she would have sat on his lap.

She said familiarly, “Do you remember me?

I’m Jiang Minhui.

Are you back for the class reunion this time?

You haven’t attended one for five years.

Everyone would be so happy to know you’re back.”

Jiang Li watched this scene with great interest, silently lighting a candle for this Miss Jiang.

After all, she was from the same family.

Jingshen remained silent from beginning to end, allowing Jiang Minhui to go on excitedly.

Jiang Minhui also noticed Jingshen’s indifferent attitude, and it was a bit awkward not getting any response.

Jiang Minhui hesitated a little and softly said, “Uh…

Do you not remember me?

We were in the same major and class.

I didn’t expect to see you here.

I didn’t even know where you’d been lately, but I heard you are doing quite well?”

At this point, even Su Lu couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed for her.

Because it was…

too fake.

Jiang Li, being the open and straightforward type, didn’t need to accommodate anyone and frankly spoke his mind when he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Girl, that’s a lie.

With Jingshen’s accomplishments, his name would surely be on your school’s Top Ten Outstanding Alumni list.”

Jiang Li straightforwardly pointed out.

Jiang Minhui’s face turned red and then white, stuttering a bit, “I…

I just heard about it and don’t really know much.”

“Alright then, let’s say you don’t know much.” Jiang Li gave her a look, also noticing Jingshen raising his hand to signal the waiter.

Jiang Li pouted and continued, “I don’t know how you found out President Bo was dining here, but this place is members-only.

Personally, I suggest you leave before things get out of hand.”

Just then, the waiter came over, “Hello, may I help you with something?”

Jiang Li sighed lightly to himself.

Jingshen’s voice was calm and indifferent, or you could say it was nearly cold.

“I don’t know this person, but you let her in without permission, seriously disturbing my and my friends’ meal.

I have doubts about your service quality.

Please have your manager come over.”

His tone was measured and cold with a businesslike indifference.

The waiter’s face changed immediately and apologized repeatedly.

“Sorry, sir, it was our oversight.”

The waiter quickly pressed the intercom switch on his collar, saying a few words quietly.

Soon, two security guards in hotel uniforms walked over from the entrance.

The manager also hurried over.

The manager said seriously, “Miss, our restaurant is members-only.

You have seriously affected our customers’ dining experience.

Please come with us and point out which waiter let you in without a reservation.”

Jiang Minhui’s face turned white instantly!

She quickly stood up, looking a bit shaky.

Of course, she had no reservation nor membership.

Such a high-end restaurant was out of Jiang Minhui’s budget, but her best friend worked here as a supervisor and recognized Jingshen from university, immediately informing her.

Jiang Minhui had been shopping nearby, so she rushed over.

It was impossible for her not to have heard of Jingshen, especially with the High-tech District’s recent tech exhibition publicizing his speech as a highlight.

Moreover, it was rumored that Boss would return to develop domestically.

If she could build a connection, maybe she could secure a position?

However, Jiang Minhui didn’t expect the former campus cold prince…

Sorry, he was still an ice prince.

A complete brick wall, impervious to any advances!

From start to finish, Jingshen didn’t utter a single word to her.

The manager then courteously and gently spoke to Jingshen, “Sir, we will investigate and deal with the negligent employee.

Today’s meal will be complimentary.

We hope you won’t be angry.”

Jiang Minhui, with a pale face, prepared to leave with the waiter but softly said to Jingshen before leaving, “Jingshen, you haven’t attended the class reunion in five years.

Old Zou misses you a lot.

His health hasn’t been good these past two years.”

After saying this, Jiang Minhui followed the waiter out.

At the entrance stood a woman in a supervisor’s uniform, looking anxious and nervous—clearly the one who had let her in without authorization.

Jingshen remained unmoved, not even giving a glance.

But Su Lu knew, after all that chattering, Jingshen might not have heard a syllable from Jiang Minhui.

But her last words, he definitely heard them.

Because Su Lu clearly saw his hand on the table, with those long fingers slightly tightening.

Old Zou was Jingshen’s university mentor, who had given him much guidance and direction.

Five years ago, he wasn’t the mature and handsome man he was now.

Back then, he was handsome but with a touch of youthful innocence.

The setting wasn’t this high-end members-only hotel with four-figure dishes, but a wind-leaking roadside stall, eating greasy skewers with her.

But his eyes were full of dreams and confidence for the future.

“Su Xiaolu, Su Lulu, Old Zou said my ideas are great today.

He said I will definitely succeed!

Do you believe me?”

Back then, Su Lu always firmly believed in him.

This excellent boy would definitely succeed.

“Of course I believe you.”

“Darling, give me ten years!

No, five years!

In five years, I’ll make sure you live the best life, and become the happiest woman in the world.”

“Alright.

I promise you, it’s a deal.”

She gave a heavy promise, still remembering his eyes shining with stars.

Then she broke the promise, witnessing the stars fall in his eyes.

Since then, there was only darkness.
