Chapter 1051: Chapter 1048: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Side Story (9)

Bai Lu stopped, turned around, and looked at him, "Does it taste bad?"

Yan Xu disdainfully handed the bowl back to the caregiver, "Absolutely atrocious, it must be for pigs!"

Bai Lu leaned against the door, arms crossed, watching him, "It should taste bad! Hasn’t Young Master Yan said that he doesn’t need my care, nor does he want my extra attention? Since my care and attention bother and annoy you, please enjoy this swine food, because without those troubles and annoyances, this is all you get to enjoy."

Having spoken with a sense of schadenfreude, Bai Lu turned and left.

She had spent the morning looking at data in Director Luo’s office. At noon, since Director Luo had a rare two hours for a nap, she suggested treating her master to a meal at a private restaurant nearby.

Director Luo readily agreed, and the master-disciple duo walked for about ten minutes, finding the restaurant in an alley behind the hospital.

When ordering, Bai Lu chose two meat dishes, two vegetables, and a soup as per Director Luo’s preferences. The waitress left, and Director Luo asked her curiously, "Aren’t you ordering takeout for Young Master Yan together?"

"Master, this meal is for my initiation ceremony, what does he have to do with it?"

Director Luo teased her, "Really don’t care anymore? Not afraid of starving him?"

Bai Lu nodded, "Really don’t care! Besides, he doesn’t really need me to care. You know who his great-grandfather and grandpa are, Master. What does such an Eldest Young Master have to worry about in terms of food and drink?"

Bai Lu was already clear about these things.

Her eagerness to take on the responsibility for caring for Yan Xu yesterday was purely because she felt that her connection with Yan Xu was no less significant than that between Yan Xu and his relatives from the Yan Family.

But Yan Xu’s words made her realize that she had been too presumptuous.

Director Luo took the tea she handed him and took a sip.

"So, you’ve decided to give up?"

Bai Lu was startled for a moment, and after a while, she said, "Not exactly, just maybe I need to change the method."

Now, Bai Lu’s mindset was a bit like when she was a child; the more she saw baby boy pouting and sulking, the more she wanted to tease him.

Director Luo had a look of ’I knew it’ on his face, "Little girl, curiosity is fine, but be cautious and always keep your wits about you, understand?"

Director Luo had an only son who had immigrated abroad a few years ago, leaving him and his wife living in the Domestic.

Although Bai Lu had only formally called him master in these few days, in reality, from when she started her internship at the Branch Hospital, he had taught her many practical skills hands-on. He had always admired and liked this young lady.

To say he viewed her as half a daughter wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Over the years, he had watched her reject wave after wave of admirers, even thinking she was a single-minded ascetic devoted solely to medical research.

It was only with the appearance of this Young Master from the Yan Family that he realized, this girl wasn’t an ascetic; she just hadn’t encountered the right person, preferring to be picky rather than to settle.

However, that Young Master Yan seemed to have been unfriendly, even malicious towards his own little disciple from the start.

He even doubted whether the young master had really lost that memory.

Of course, these doubts stemmed from his own biases. Rationally analyzing it, there was indeed a possibility that Young Master Yan had amnesia.

Bai Lu had grown up with hardly any elders or mentors worrying about her.

Seeing Director Luo looking as if he was advising a wayward young woman, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Master, Young Master Yan is not a flood or a savage beast; there’s no need for caution signs warning me to keep away from danger."

Director Luo, not being skilled at the emotional approach, finished his advice and naturally shifted the conversation to professional matters.

The master-disciple duo didn’t bring up Yan Xu again. After their meal, they walked back to the Hospital, with Director Luo returning to work and Bai Lu heading straight to the Parking Lot to take her car and enjoy an early comfortable holiday at home.

Three days after agreeing to care for Yan Xu, Bai Lu conducted her routine morning rounds. However, today she couldn’t be bothered to bring breakfast for Yan Xu.

She was determined not to go out of her way to buy breakfast for him anymore. The random breakfasts bought on the side of the road would never please the Young Master Yan.

Yan Xu behaved a bit better today, at least he hadn’t left the bed to wander around on his own.

Bai Lu nodded at him and, after routinely asking about his food intake and sleep quality, recorded a series of numbers measured by the nurse on a form, then lifted her head to remind Yan Xu.

"Your Daddy and Mommy are coming this afternoon, don’t you dare tattle on me!"

Yan Xu glanced at her, "Don’t worry, I am not that heartless, although, you’re really not that great!"

Bai Lu was almost used to his infuriating temper. Having said what she had to, she left.

Zhu Qianying and her husband arrived at the Public Hospital after four in the afternoon. Bai Lu received the message and went to the main entrance to greet them.

"Aunt Ying Zi, Uncle Yan, hello!"

"Xiao Lizi, you’ve gotten prettier since we last met!"

Zhu Qianying hugged Bai Lu and kissed her on the forehead.

"Aunt Ying Zi, it’s you who are beautiful. At most, I am just a little girl."

At just over forty, Zhu Qianying’s face showed no signs of aging; if you said she was in her twenties, absolutely nobody would doubt it.

Yet, compared to those women in their twenties, she possessed a charm and composure that only years can bring. Her demeanor was energetic, yet her eyes and expression exuded the allure of a knowledgeable woman.

In Bai Lu’s eyes, she and her own Mommy were always tied for the number one goddess in her heart.

"Tsk, Xiao Lizi, your mouth is still as sweet as ever."

After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Lu briefly updated the elders about Yan Xu’s current condition.

Although she seemed to be neglecting Yan Xu in the past few days, she knew his physical condition inside and out, without missing a beat.

"You’ve worked hard these days. Once baby boy is discharged, he should properly thank you!"

"Aunt Ying Zi, you’re too kind. Baby boy is like my younger brother. Taking care of one’s own brother, what’s there to talk about repayment?"

Bai Lu said this as she pushed open the hospital room door, and then, received a roll of the eyes from Yan Xu.

Obviously, the bad-tempered guy had heard everything she said before entering.

"Aunt Ying Zi, why don’t you and Uncle Yan keep baby boy company? I still have some work unfinished on my end. I’ll join you guys for dinner later."

As she mentioned she still had work, Zhu Qianying didn’t insist on keeping her, "Well...alright, come find us after you finish."

Bai Lu didn’t actually have much work, but she used it as an excuse to leave, giving the family some space to be together.

Inside, she knew that no matter how good her relationship with the Yan Family was, she was always an outsider.

"Little Disciple, the Yan Family seems to be planning to discharge Young Master Yan from the hospital in a couple of days. What are you planning to do?"

Bai Lu didn’t have any other plans for the moment, or rather, she hadn’t yet thought of a better way to help awaken Yan Xu’s memory.

"Just go with the flow..."

After all, she always believed that one day, Yan Xu would remember everything.
