Chapter 1060: Chapter 1057: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (18)

Bai Lu received a call from Bai Shao while she was dreaming about chasing and frolicking with baby boy in the Yan Family garden. As she answered the call and half-dreamily heard Bai Shao’s voice, she softly called out, "Mommy!"

"Baby, are you taking a nap?"

"Mmmm..."

Bai Lu sat up and ruffled her hair, "When are you and Daddy coming back?"

"What’s the rush? You and Yen Yen aren’t exactly weaned. Your father and I plan to come back in the middle of next month. If you need anything, just ask your older cousin or Aunt Ying Zi."

Bai Lu got out of bed, uncovering the blankets, "Mommy, isn’t your anniversary trip with Daddy a bit too long this time..."

While Bai Lu was certainly happy that her parents were affectionate, she hadn’t seen them for two or three months and genuinely missed them.

"Didn’t we miss out last year? So we need to make up for that this year. Ah...right, after Yen Yen finishes his competition, he will have a few days off. Your father and I are going to take him out for a few days, so don’t get jealous."

Bai Lu pouted, "Jealous? Yeah, right!"

"Hahaha, next year your father and I will only take you and not Yen Yen, okay?"

Bai Lu had cashed in on such empty promises more than once.

When she was little, she didn’t understand and often played third wheel to her parents. As she grew older, she began consciously creating opportunities for her parents to be alone.

"No need, if I want to have fun, hanging out with friends is fine!"

"Tsk, it’s not satisfying to be disliked by one’s own daughter. Give my regards to baby boy and ask him what kind of present he wants."

Bai Lu thought about Yan Xu’s always stern face towards her, "Whatever, with him, unless you and Daddy bring back the latest stealth fighter for him, I’m afraid there might not be any present that could catch his eye."

The mother and daughter chatted for half an hour before hanging up. Bai Lu had completely lost the urge to sleep, so she simply washed her face, grabbed a book, and stepped out onto the balcony, sitting on the wooden ledge against the pillar to read.

She read until the sun set and the sky grew dark.

Bai Lu stood up, leaning against the pillar, and patted the dust off her pants before she went back to her room to tidy up a bit, then walked out to the living room.

The butler was busy getting dinner ready, and when he saw her, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Doctor Bai, Lady Ying called to say that they won’t be back for dinner and that the wontons will be made for you all to eat tomorrow."

Bai Lu felt a twinge of disappointment, thinking that the delicious wontons she had anticipated would now have to wait until tomorrow.

Nevertheless, she was more concerned about the prospect of having to sit across from Yan Xu and get through a dinner than she was about missing out on the gourmet food.

Of course, she wasn’t worried that Yan Xu would say anything nasty or do anything excessive. Rather, she feared she wouldn’t be able to resist teasing him to tears!

Thinking back to the series of angry emojis Yan Xu had sent before her nap, clearly indicating his escalating rage, expecting him to cool off after a nap was out of the question.

Even she was somewhat puzzled by her own behavior; normally, she hated provoking people, but when it came to the boy Yan Xu, she couldn’t help but push his buttons, itching to tease him even more because he was so untouchable.

So, it was perfectly understandable for Yan Xu to dislike her.

Putting herself in his shoes, if he kept teasing her like this, she’d blow up within minutes.

However, she just couldn’t resist. Could someone please tell her what she should do?

Yan Xu was wheeled into the dining room by the servants, and Bai Lu, who was ladling soup, smiled at him, "Did you sleep well?"

Yan Xu glanced at her, his face clearly saying "You have the nerve to ask?"

Bai Lu smiled even more radiantly, her body leaning slightly as she carefully poured the soup in front of Yan Xu.

"You look good, your eyes are bright too, seems you had a good sleep."

Yan Xu lowered his eyes and took a sip of the soup, "Bai Lu, do you always flirt like this?"

Bai Lu raised her hand, "I swear to heaven, I, Bai Lu, have only flirted with Yan Xu, what other seductresses could catch my eye?"

Yan Xu lightly fluttered his eyelids, "So you’re saying, I should thank Doctor Bai for esteeming me?"

Bai Lu felt the itch to tease, but they were separated by a table and too far apart for her to pinch his face with ease.

"No need to thank me, just don’t pick on me so much usually..."

Bai Lu wasn’t usually so thick-skinned, but whenever she was with Yan Xu, she became like a completely different person.

Or perhaps, this was her true self, but she normally had to maintain a dignified and gentlewomanly facade in front of others.

Yan Xu was somewhat speechless, but unusually, he didn’t retort and quietly finished his soup, then had the servant serve him a bowl of rice.

Bai Lu also served herself half a bowl of rice and conveniently pushed the few dishes Yan Xu could eat in front of him.

Yan Xu ate with no hurry, and Bai Lu couldn’t help but become curious, "Yan Xu, I thought you would eat quickly."

Yan Xu narrowed his eyes at her, and Bai Lu quickly admitted her fault, "Sorry, I’m just curious, I don’t mean to stereotype you or military people."

Yan Xu chewed and swallowed his food slowly before speaking indifferently, "The speed of eating is determined by the environment. I’m not in a hurry now, there’s no need to eat so fast."

Yan Xu rarely spoke at length to Bai Lu, and although his tone remained faint and slightly impatient, there was definitely no dislike or similar sentiment.

Bai Lu nodded in agreement, "Right, like me, sometimes I’m standing at the operation table for over ten hours, and just after I finish, if I’m informed there’s another emergency surgery soon, I’d wish I could just open a hatch on my stomach and pour the food directly in."

In some sense, Bai Lu and Yan Xu’s professions were quite similar.

Both were fighting on the brink of life and death, but one held a scalpel while the other a gun.

Yan Xu’s gaze lingered a bit longer on her face, "Why did you become a doctor?"

Bai Lu was startled for a moment. If she remembered correctly, this was probably the first time he had taken the initiative to inquire about her life since they reconnected.

"Is it not convenient to talk about it?"

When she seemed lost in thought, Yan Xu thought she didn’t want to answer.

Bai Lu snapped back to reality, "There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Actually, my decision to study medicine was made very hastily. At the time, several good schools expressed their interest in admitting me, and I almost thoughtlessly chose to study medicine. Back then, aside from my Daddy who was absolutely supportive, other people were not very encouraging, but I went abroad without much care. Later, I thought about it and figured that maybe because both my grandfather and my Daddy had once been seriously ill, subconsciously, I believed that if I learned medicine, I could spare my family some suffering."

Yan Xu quietly watched her, and after a long while, he said, "That wasn’t easy..."

Bai Lu smiled, "It’s been okay. I still really like my profession. To be honest, what you do is even more challenging, right?"

Although she also fought on the line of life and death, she was only in control of others’ lives; under normal circumstances, her own life was not under threat.

But Yan Xu was different!
