Chapter 1048: Chapter 1045: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Side Story (6)

If anyone else had said those words, they definitely would have resulted in Bai Lu slamming the door and leaving.

But this person was Yan Xu, and furthermore, Bai Lu had spent a whole day and night preparing herself mentally, so her mood was still relatively calm.

"Young Master Yan, thank you for your concern. However, if I don’t come to see you, I won’t be able to rest well."

Everything Bai Lu said was the truth. From the moment his name appeared in the email, her calm and smooth life had been like a bomb thrown into it.

Not only was her tranquility destroyed, but it also blasted her life into disarray.

Fortunately, Bai Lu wasn’t someone who would indulge in pain and sadness. One of the main reasons she had gained a modest reputation in the medical circle was because she wasn’t one to adhere to conventions and had the courage to break rules.

Perhaps because she had experienced more ups and downs in her childhood than others, compared to children raised in mostly happy families, her ability to accept and adapt to changes was much stronger, and she was quicker to react.

Yesterday, when she learned that Yan Xu alone didn’t remember her, she was genuinely heartbroken.

But soon after, she came to terms with it.

If he truly didn’t remember her, then she would just make herself more present in front of him until he recognized her again.

Yan Xu watched her thoughtfully, probably also understanding that Bai Lu wasn’t so easily persuaded. He simply adjusted the half-reclined bed to lie flat, uttered an indifferent "whatever you want," pulled over the blanket, and slowly closed his eyes.

Bai Lu, seemingly unconcerned about being left out, sat down on the sofa in the main hall, ordered takeout using the takeout app on her mobile phone, and quietly began to analyze medical cases on her laptop.

Takeout is usually delivered to the front desk, where a nurse helps to bring it inside.

Bai Lu, not daring to let the nurse come in and disturb Yan Xu, partially opened the door to receive the takeout, whispered a thank you, and carried the takeout back to the small main hall near the balcony.

Bai Lu took out the takeout gingerly, but the hospital room was so quiet that the rustling sound of the plastic bags seemed particularly harsh.

Yan Xu, who had been lying in bed and seemingly asleep, finally couldn’t help but speak up.

"Doctor Bai, are you treating this place like your home?"

Seeing that he finally spoke, a sly smile appeared on Bai Lu’s face.

"Am I not just afraid that you’ll get bored? I’m here to keep you company," she said.

She bent her head to take out the food from the bag one by one, placing it on the coffee table. Lying flat, Yan Xu couldn’t see the expression on her face, but he could vaguely imagine her smirking to herself.

"I don’t need that!" Yan Xu said irritably, frowning.

Bai Lu turned her face to look at him, and this time, he truly saw her smile, which was brighter than the sunshine.

Yan Xu was momentarily stunned, as if something searing had caught his eye, and he turned his face away to avoid her gaze.

"But Aunt Ying Zi asked me to keep you company, and I don’t want to be someone who breaks her promises."

Zhu Qianying and some internationally renowned master had jointly organized a design exhibition abroad. Yan Han, this #spoilt#wife fanatic, of course, cast aside his work and his family, accompanying his wife without hesitation.

Due to confidentiality reasons, when the news of Yan Xu’s injury finally reached Zhu Qianying and Yan Han, Yan Xu was already out of danger. The exhibition was a joint one, and Zhu Qianying couldn’t possibly shift all the responsibility onto her partner. Knowing that Bai Lu was also there, she specifically asked Bai Lu to help look after Yan Xu for a couple of days until she and Yan Han could return.

Yan Xu had just talked to his Mommy on the phone tonight, and she mentioned that she was tied up with the exhibition and couldn’t leave, so she would be back in a few days. However, she didn’t mention Bai Lu. He didn’t know what this little doctor was talking about and whether it was true or false.

Lying in bed, Yan Xu said nothing for a while, but he couldn’t help but speak at last, "Doctor Bai, I won’t tattle to my mom, so please go."

How could Bai Lu be so easily dismissed with just a few words?

She took out her mobile phone and sent a video invitation to Zhu Qianying.

"Ying Zi Auntie, I’m in Yan Xu’s hospital room right now. Do you want to talk to him?"

After Yan Xu was transferred to a general ward, most of the tubes on his body had been removed. Except for looking a bit thin, he seemed all right.

Yan Xu had previously not wanted his Mommy to worry, merely stating that he was still on a mission and it was inconvenient to video call.

Seeing Bai Lu connect the video call without even asking him, he secretly added another grudge against her.

"Mommy, I’ve mostly recovered; you and Daddy don’t need to worry."

Facing the camera, Yan Xu forced a bright smile.

Caught off guard by Yan Xu’s sunny and handsome smile, Bai Lu’s hand shook and the mobile phone fell onto the bed.

The smile on Yan Xu’s face disappeared instantly, and he glared at her fiercely, impatiently gesturing with his lips for her to "pick it up quickly?"

Bai Lu smiled apologetically at him, forcibly suppressing the disappointment in her heart.

This stinky Yan Xu, smiling like a flower at his Mommy, but towards her, as cold and hard as an arctic iceberg!

Bai Lu lifted the phone back into position while mouthing back at him, "Momma’s boy!" After that, she stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.

Of course, Yan Xu wasn’t a momma’s boy, but his affection for his Mommy ran deeper than for anyone else.

Just like her relationship with her own mommy. No matter how close she was to Daddy or her little brother, when it came to Mommy, those two had to step aside.

Before the camera, Yan Xu naturally couldn’t glare back at her and immediately reverted to being the big boy who would playfully soften and beg for mercy in front of Mommy.

Bai Lu felt both envious and relieved.

Thank goodness, he had simply forgotten her. Otherwise, how heartbroken would his family, including himself, be?

After speaking with Zhu Qianying for a while, Zhu Qianying asked him to turn the camera back to Bai Lu.

"Xiao Lizi, please take care of baby boy for now. Your Uncle Yan and I will be back in a few days. Then we’ll see if we can bring him home to stay for a while."

Bai Lu ah-ed, but immediately realized her blunder and quickly said, "His recovery has been going well. Let Director Luo give him another thorough examination. If there’s no big issue, it’s indeed better for him to recuperate at home."

Although, that would mean she couldn’t see him every day.

But after all, she wasn’t anyone to Yan Xu and had no right to stop his discharge from the hospital.

"Then I’ll have his uncle sort it out. What’s your schedule the day after tomorrow? Shall we all have a meal together?"

Bai Lu had just taken a few days off and returned to City B. These days she was especially busy.

However, no matter how busy she was, she definitely had to join them for this meal.

"I’m free anytime. What flight are you and Uncle Yan taking back? Around what time will you arrive? I’ll go make the reservation!"

The light on Zhu Qianying’s side suddenly brightened, and Bai Lu noticed that her eyes were red.

It seemed she couldn’t help tearing up at the sight of Yan Xu.

Feeling a bit unwilling to cause her grief, she made a silent decision.

"Auntie Ying Zi, I’m actually on annual leave these days. Yan Xu is in my care, so you don’t need to worry."
