Chapter 1046: Chapter 1043: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Side Story (4)

"Little sister, would you like to buy some flowers?"

The boss lady, an elegant lady in her fifties, had been seen by Bai Lu sunbathing on a bench in the community park, cradling her puppy.

The white Pomeranian had a ring of violet flowers on its head, and at that time, Bai Lu thought that the little dog seemed to live a much more refined life than her, a single girl.

Since living alone, Bai Lu had never bought flowers. But today, she was breaking her own rule for that kid Yan Xu.

"Yes, I’m going to visit someone in the hospital. What flowers should I bring?"

Bai Lu was extremely accomplished in her professional field yet quite clueless about other matters.

After all, one’s energy is limited; focusing too much on one aspect often results in neglecting others.

Perhaps it was because of this that, at nearly twenty-three, she had yet to experience the taste of romance.

So, when the boss lady asked her with a smile, "Is it for your boyfriend?" her face turned red instantly.

"Of course not, just a regular friend..."

Bai Lu denied with a flushed face, thinking to herself how people nowadays could so easily nudge someone towards romantic implications just because of a bouquet of flowers.

After clarifying, the boss lady swiftly wrapped up a bouquet of carnations for her. As Bai Lu walked out with the bouquet, the boss lady followed her out and picked a rose from a large bucket at the door, handing it to her.

"The roses are beautiful today. I’m giving you one to wish you a wonderful mood today."

Bai Lu seemed to have been seen through, accepting the rose with embarrassment and thanking her with a flushed face.

After parking the car in the hospital parking lot, Bai Lu held the bouquet of carnations and hesitated before leaving the rose given by the boss lady in the car.

Misunderstandings from others were fine, but she didn’t want Yan Xu to get the wrong idea.

Carrying the bouquet, Bai Lu found herself constantly teased by doctors and nurses everywhere she went. Being young and with a thin skin, she ended up blushing and attracting attention through half the hospital.

She inwardly cursed Eldest Young Master Yan Xu’s pretense; though he had been moved to a regular hospital room, he insisted on staying in the most secluded and highest-standard VIP ward on the top floor.

Bai Lu stood outside the hospital room for a while, waiting for her cheeks to cool down, before pushing the door open.

The nurse was measuring Yan Xu’s blood pressure as he sat by the bed. Hearing the door, they both looked up.

"Doctor Bai, good morning!"

The nurse greeted Bai Lu, while Yan Xu simply nodded slowly at her, then dropped his gaze back to the book in his hands.

Bai Lu, without overthinking it, placed the flowers on the coffee table in the small living room, arranged them, and turned around just as the nurse finished taking the blood pressure and temperature, quietly reminding Yan Xu to drink more water and fruits, then saying goodbye to Bai Lu before leaving.

Bai Lu walked over and casually sat on the edge of the bed.

Yan Xu’s gaze shifted from the book, sweeping indifferently across her face.

"I hear you’re not actually a doctor here?"

If someone else had asked, Bai Lu would have found it quite abrupt.

But since it was Yan Xu, Bai Lu didn’t mind, and she nodded honestly in response.

"Mhm, I usually work at the branch hospital, but sometimes I come here to learn from Director Luo."

Yan Xu hummed in acknowledgment, then lowered his head to continue flipping through his book.

Bai Lu, looking for conversation, boldly appraised him.

"Director Luo said you’ve been recovering well. I didn’t quite believe it, but now it seems true. It looks like you have a strong constitution."

Yan Xu still appeared very thin with sharp and deep facial contours, but he looked somewhat spirited and his complexion was rosier than a few days ago.

As a child, baby boy was strikingly handsome with his delicate facial features and lively personality, making him an irresistible cutie whom everyone wanted to pinch and squeeze.

Now, Yan Xu still had striking features, but his aura had drastically changed from the past.

Today, everything from his facial contours to his demeanor was sharp and stern, radiating an aura that screamed ’keep away’ to strangers.

Perhaps because Bai Lu’s gaze was too direct, Yan Xu turned a page in his book and then looked up, meeting her evaluation with a cold stare.

"Doctor Bai, may I ask suddenly, is this how you treat all your patients?"

His tone was not very friendly, and Bai Lu was taken aback, only then noticing the peculiarity.

Firstly, it was Yan Xu’s extremely unfamiliar manner of addressing her, and secondly, it was his rigid speech and his very apparent defensive attitude.

Bai Lu looked at him, "Yan Xu, you are not my patient!"

If he were just a patient, she would dutifully follow up on his recovery, but she certainly wouldn’t come early in the morning with flowers to visit.

Yan Xu glanced at her sideways, silently waiting for her to continue.

Bai Lu felt a bit uncomfortable inside, but remembering baby boy’s playful nature from childhood, she guessed that he might be teasing her on purpose.

Thinking this, she leaned forward, supporting herself on the edge of the bed, and moved closer to Yan Xu.

"Baby boy, I am your sister Xiaolu!"

Bai Lu’s statement had a bit of a mischievous element to it.

After all, even as a child, baby boy never willingly called her sister, even though it was an ironclad fact that she was a few months older than him.

Yan Xu leaned back instinctively, creating some distance between them, his stern face filled with confusion and undisguised annoyance.

"Xiaolu? Sister?"

Bai Lu stared at him with a grin, "Hey, stop pretending! Hurry up and call me sister!"

Yan Xu frowned, "Doctor Bai, did we know each other before?"

Those who knew him as baby boy were very close to him, but he couldn’t recall having known someone who was a doctor and not much older than him?

The smile slowly faded from Bai Lu’s face, "Yan Xu, you really don’t remember?"

Yan Xu shook his head, "Sorry, you might have mistaken me for someone else?"

Yan Xu always had an excellent memory, could read incredibly fast, and it was unlikely he would forget such a significant person. The only possibilities were that she either mistook him for someone else, or she was using their past acquaintance as a pretext to get close to him.

Bai Lu examined him closely for a few seconds, "Your name is Yan Xu, your dad is Yan Han, your mom is Zhu Qianying, your sister is Xiaoxiao, you were born abroad and stayed there until you were five before moving back to the country, your grandmother was a chief who used to run a private restaurant, your mom is a Jewelry Designer, and she cooks very deliciously..."

As Bai Lu listed details about his family one by one, the wariness on Yan Xu’s face grew increasingly intense.

"Who exactly are you?"

Bai Lu’s eyebrows tightened little by little, a dreadful possibility emerging in her mind, yet she still clung to hope.

"Then do you remember Aunt Spoon?"

Yan Xu nodded, "Aunt Bai Shao, Uncle Zong’s wife, of course I remember. Then you are..."

Bai Lu clung to the last thread of hope, "I am the daughter of your Aunt Bai Shao, so you remember everyone else, just not me?"

Yan Xu looked at her, silent.

At that moment, Bai Lu’s eyes filled with tears!

"Stinky Yan Xu, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Over the years, we’ve missed each other’s meetings by mere coincidence, so, you are intentionally trying to annoy me and tease me, aren’t you?"
