Chapter 1053: Chapter 1050: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (11)

Yan Xu was a critically ill patient, and the doctor’s orders were for him to rest quietly; naturally, he could not join them for a meal out.

"Let the caregiver whip up something simple for you to fill your stomach for now, and later, your Daddy and I will bring back some delicious takeaway for you," Mommy Zhu Qianying soothed her son, stroking his short, bristly hair.

Bai Lu stifled a giggle on the side, and Yan Xu stole a glare at her, but he softly replied to his Mommy, "You and Daddy take your time eating. I’ll ask the caregiver to buy some snacks. You’ve been flying for over ten hours and must be exhausted. Go back and rest early."

Zhu Qianying said, "We’ll stay with you tonight, and after a full-body checkup tomorrow, we’ll all leave the hospital and go home together."

Bai Lu was not sure which home Zhu Qianying was referring to.

"Aunt Ying Zi, are you going back to L City tomorrow?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head, "No, we’ll stay at the old mansion for a while, at least until the baby boy is a bit better before we go back to L City."

Yan Xu’s return home for recuperation would certainly not just involve rest; presumably, an entire medical team would be on standby to care for him at all times.

After all, even without considering the daunting background of the Yan Family, Yan Xu himself would most definitely receive super VIP service as a special individual.

"Oh... then is Director Luo in charge of the follow-up consultation?"

Director Luo’s status at the public hospital was not something just anyone could mobilize, and generally, his schedule was quite full. It seemed rather unrealistic for him to take charge of Yan Xu’s medical care.

However, if the Yan Family or Yan Xu’s superiors insisted on having Director Luo in charge, it was likely that he would not be able to refuse.

Zhu Qianying looked at her in surprise, "Eh? Xiao Lizi, don’t you know yet?"

Bai Lu was clueless, "Know what?"

Zhu Qianying smiled and pointed at Yan Xu, "You two are very close, aren’t you? Everyone knows Yan Xu has always been averse to strangers freely entering his personal life, and besides, you were involved in his surgery. Director Luo is your mentor; there’s no one more suitable than you!"

Bai Lu glanced at Yan Xu, honestly, it didn’t bother her.

But she was quite afraid that Young Master Yan might misunderstand her as trying to get close to him in various ways, "Aunt Ying Zi, I’m not a doctor at the public hospital. I’m also quite busy with my work at the branch hospital, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to take on the responsibility."

Zhu Qianying, clasping her arm, walked away, "Don’t worry, your Uncle Yan has already arranged everything with the deans. You just follow your leaders’ instructions when the time comes."

When they reached the door, Zhu Qianying turned back to Yan Xu and said, "Behave and stay put; we won’t take too long."

Yan Xu waved his hand to hurry her off.

Bai Lu chose the same private restaurant, but considering that the elders were tired from their journey, she decided to drive there.

Because Zhu Qianying liked elegant places, Bai Lu purposely reserved the quaint Little Biewan, where many unique trinkets were displayed. Zhu Qianying walked in and passionately began examining the items in the display cabinets.

Bai Lu personally brewed tea and poured some for Yan Han and Zhu Qianying.

While sipping tea, Yan Han pointed at the entranced Zhu Qianying and said to Bai Lu, "Xiao Lizi, looks like your Aunt Ying Zi might not need to eat later."

Bai Lu said with a laugh, "Isn’t it because Uncle Yan spoils her so?"

Most women in their forties are worn down by family and children, losing their sense of self, not to mention neglecting their own preferences, or even failing to take proper care of themselves.

But Zhu Qianying, even past forty, still chased after the things she liked all around the world as she did when she was young, and most of the time, Yan Han would find time to accompany her.

This kind of unrestrained life, Bai Lu had always envied immensely.

"Xiao Lizi, don’t be fooled by your Uncle Yan, it’s not that he indulges me, clearly he himself wants to wander around too."

As Bai Lu chatted with the two elders over tea, there was not the slightest hint of constraint.

The stewed soup was quickly brought out, and after Bai Lu served the soup, Zhu Qianying finally agreed to sit down at the table to drink it.

"Xiao Lizi, why aren’t you and baby boy as clingy as you were when you were little?"

Clearly, Yan Xu hadn’t told her that he had completely forgotten her.

"Aunt Ying Zi, we’re both almost twenty-three, adults, we can’t hang on to each other like brats anymore, can we?"

Zhu Qianying took a sip of her soup, "What’s the issue with that, you two are childhood sweethearts, close as siblings, what’s wrong with being clingy?"

Zhu Qianying glanced at Bai Lu, "Or is it that after so many years of not seeing each other, you’ve become estranged?"

Bai Lu had no choice but to go along with the flow, "Of course, we’ve both grown up, and we haven’t seen each other for over a decade, and now we work in completely different fields, the only topics we probably have to talk about are you and the younger brothers and sisters."

Zhu Qianying put down her bowl and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of boiled lamb for Bai Lu.

"That’s also true, actually, you’re still okay, even though you became a doctor, you’ve always had a bright and lively temperament. But baby boy, ever since he entered the Jun Camp, his temperament has become ever more reserved, aside from showing his true self with family, he’s the silent and cool type when facing others."

Bai Lu hadn’t expected to hear such candid complaints from Yan Xu’s own mother, and though she thoroughly agreed in her heart, she still tried to come up with some compliments to smooth things over.

"Actually, I think it’s better for guys to be a bit cool, as long as they’re warm to the people they care about, you know, most central air-conditioning type guys are scumbags, cool guys are more devoted and more enduring."

Zhu Qianying was quite amused by her quip, "Originally, I was worried his temperament might be somewhat annoying, but seeing how much you appreciate him, I’m completely reassured!"

Bai Lu, who had been happily tearing into her boiled lamb, forgot to continue pulling the meat when she heard Zhu Qianying say that.

"Aunt Ying Zi, have you maybe misunderstood something?"

Zhu Qianying chuckled and patted her shoulder, denying her suspicions outright.

"Not at all, I’m just happy for baby boy, and to have you, a friend who knows how to appreciate him."

Bai Lu felt a bit guilty, as normally, good friends have a mutual connection.

But when it came to her and Yan Xu, it was only one-way from her to him; Yan Xu, with her, was probably worse than a stranger.

Because, from the things he said a couple of days ago, it wasn’t hard to tell that Yan Xu was on guard against her, and also believed that her proactive care was an ulterior motive.

Bai Lu dared not to reveal any of these thoughts lurking in her heart to Zhu Qianying.

"Aunt Ying Zi, where do you live?"

Zhu Qianying mentioned an address, and Bai Lu showed a troubled face, "That’s quite far from where I live, if there’s traffic, I’m afraid it could take two to three hours to get there."

Zhu Qianying uttered a sound of surprise, "Well, then come and live with us, we have plenty of guest rooms! And besides, you’re already familiar with Grandpa and the others, they’re all family."

Bai Lu did indeed know Yan Xu’s grandpa’s relatives, but to say they were close, that would be a stretch.
