Chapter 1061: Chapter 1058: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (19)

Regarding the reasons behind Yan Xu joining the Jun Camp, Bai Lu had heard quite a lot from the elders.

But as to why Yan Xu, despite having earned numerous merits—enough to serve as a solid foundation for a political career—still chose to stay in the Jun Camp, no one had really spoken of it.

Moreover, from the conversation that Yan Yuan entrusted to Bai Lu, it was clear that the Yan Family’s elders did not support his choice, nor did they quite understand it.

Leaving aside the Yan Family’s ranking among the top in the nation, considering Yan Xu’s status as one of the only two heirs to the Yanhuang Group, the Tong Family, and the Mingxuan Group, it was baffling why he would forsake a life of luxury and choose the dangerous life amidst bullets and gunfire on the front lines.

Yan Xu did not answer Bai Lu’s question, and obviously, he was not willing to bare his heart to her.

Bai Lu knew she had overstepped with her question and tactfully changed the subject.

"By the way, I heard that lil’ Xiao has grown taller again, he must be over one meter seventy now, right?"

Yan Xu hummed in agreement, "Yes, quite tall..."

Bai Lu, being a tactful person, sensed that she had hit a nerve with her previous topic and had displeased Yan Xu. After finishing the meal and conducting a routine check on Yan Xu, she let the nanny take care of him while she herself returned to the guest room to be alone.

Days like this passed for three days until the fourth day, which was a Friday. Bai Lu went to the supermarket early in the morning with Zhu Qianying to buy ingredients, preparing to make a rich dinner to welcome the arrival of the little girl.

While shopping, Bai Lu got a call from the Dean of the Branch Hospital, "Xiao Bai, there’s a patient here in critical condition, and we need you!"

Without a second thought, Bai Lu explained the situation to Zhu Qianying and hurriedly left to catch a car.

Zhu Qianying returned to the Yan Family home with the driver; Yan Xu was sitting in the courtyard, accompanying his Grandpa in a game of chess.

Seeing her come back alone, he didn’t say much. Instead, Zhu Qianying explained the situation first, "Xiao Lizi took a call and went back to the hospital. The Public Hospital will arrange another doctor to come for your routine check-up."

Yan Xu responded with an "Oh," and after Zhu Qianying put away the groceries and brewed him a cup of health tea, he said, "Mommy, if Director Luo can’t make it, get a male doctor instead."

Zhu Qianying pinched his cheek, "What, can’t accept any female doctor besides Xiao Lizi?"

"Mommy, why does that sound so odd?"

Zhu Qianying patted his head, "Don’t play dumb with me!"

However, she wasn’t one of those old-fashioned parents who would force their son into a match just because they liked or admired a certain girl.

"Forget it, I’m going to make a cake."

Yan Xu shouted after her retreating back, "I want cream puffs!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t turn around, "No, you can’t eat those for now."

Yan Xu made a couple of disappointed noises, but he was very clear in his heart that when it came to his health, his Mommy would never relent.

"My boy, the Leaders have relaxed their stance this time. What do you say about transferring back to the Capital City for some rest and recuperation? There are several nice positions available lately. You could take this relatively free time to consider them carefully," Grandpa proposed.

Since that day when Yan Yuan had probed Bai Lu for information, he had abandoned the plan of having Bai Lu cooperate to persuade the young master.

He refused to believe that he couldn’t persuade his grand-nephew, who had grown up under his watchful eye.

"Grandpa, there’s no rush on this matter. Let’s wait until my body is better and the hospital releases the report, then I’ll decide, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan knew he was just stalling and said in a deeper, more heartfelt tone, "These positions are all desirable, and with your impressive track record, it would be perfect to support your uncle."

Yan Xu didn’t immediately say no, but he also refused to give Yan Yuan any more hope.

"Grandpa, this matter isn’t just up to me, let’s wait until both my grandfather and grandmother are here, and then we can discuss it properly, okay?"

Once he brought up his grandparents, Yan Yuan knew the chances were slim.

"This is your own matter, and there’s no need to necessarily listen to your grandparents."

Yan Xu nodded obediently, "I know, and I know Grandpa is looking out for my best interests. But I’m not yet twenty-three years old, and I don’t want to put unnecessary restrictions on myself too early."

Yan Xu was clever, and his abilities were outstanding in all areas. The military team had always been trying by all means to keep him, but Yan Yuan hoped more that he would come back to the Capital City to support the great enterprise of the Yan Family.

But Yan Xu had not given any absolute answers to either side.

Yan Yuan, afraid of saying too much and causing annoyance, stopped there.

Yan Xu then played a few more games with him. Around dinner time, the doctor sent by the hospital arrived and called to say he couldn’t find the place, asking for someone to come out and meet him.

The driver went out and brought the doctor in, who introduced himself, "Mr. Yan, hello, my name is Lu Qingxu, the doctor assigned by the hospital to check on Mr. Yan."

Lu Qingxu was tall and thin, with delicate and graceful facial features, the epitome of a scholarly demeanor.

Yan Xu hadn’t seen him during his time at the public hospital, but he didn’t ask any questions, and after greeting him, he had a servant push him back to the bedroom.

Lu Qingxu quickly completed a full set of examinations on Yan Xu, took notes, and while packing up, he said, "Bai Lu is a pretty good doctor, isn’t she?"

Yan Xu originally had no particular like or dislike for him, but upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and look at him carefully.

Seeing that Yan Xu did not respond, Lu Qingxu explained with a smile, "She’s my junior, very attentive and absolutely competent in medicine."

Yan Xu frowned slightly, feeling that his use of "my" seemed to be declaring some kind of possession.

"Is that so? The Bai Lu I know is probably not the same person you know!"

Yan Xu’s words puzzled Lu Qingxu, who looked at Yan Xu with confusion, "Not the same person?"

Yan Xu said, "Our families are old friends, we’ve played and grown up together since we were young, so the person I know is not Dr. Bai, but Bai Lu."

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Qingxu’s face, and after a moment of astonishment, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Yan, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were acquainted."

Yan Xu was noncommittal, "Those who are familiar know about this."

The implication was clear: this senior brother was hardly an acquaintance of Bai Lu’s.

Lu Qingxu clearly understood the implication, and growing even more embarrassed, he turned to put the medicine box back in the storage cabinet before coming back to say goodbye to Yan Xu.

"Mr. Yan, I’ll be going now. I don’t know how long Bai Lu’s surgery will take. If it’s too late, I’ll come over tonight to check on you."

Yan Xu thought to himself, why is this guy so annoying?

"There’s no need, Bai Lu lives here, and no matter how late she finishes the surgery, she will come back."

Lu Qingxu looked at Yan Xu with a half-believing expression, but in the end, he didn’t have any ground to question further, nodded, and turned to leave.
