Chapter 1074: Chapter 1071: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (32)

Bai Lu was somewhat surprised, "Who said he and I were childhood sweethearts?"

Lu Qingxu’s eyes reignited with a bright light, and he couldn’t help asking with a little excitement, "Not? Was that the young master of the Yan Family talking nonsense?"

Bai Lu became even more astonished, "The young master said that himself?"

It was then that Lu Qingxu started to feel somewhat embarrassed.

"That day when you came back for surgery, I was conducting an examination on him. I had heard from many people at the Public Hospital that he was aloof and hard to approach, and I was afraid of an awkward silence, so I chatted with him about you during the examination. He said that he had known you since you were kids, and he seemed quite serious about it, I thought it was true!"

The corners of Bai Lu’s lips lifted slightly, "Indeed, it’s true, I’ve known him since we were four or five years old..."

As for the rest, Lu Qingxu didn’t need to know, and there was no need for her to explain.

Lu Qingxu made an ’ah’ sound, and his look became gloomy again.

"So, it is true..."

Bai Lu nodded once more, "It’s true, my mother and his mother are best friends, and our two families are aristocratic families."

It wasn’t that Bai Lu wanted to show off or anything, in fact, ever since she came back from studying abroad and started working at the Branch Hospital, she had never brought up her family background on her own.

And for Lu Qingxu, he actually only found out by chance after working for a while that she was the Miss of the Zong Family, a prominent household in City B.

At this moment, Bai Lu brought up her connection with the Yan Family so deliberately, simply to give Lu Qingxu the illusion that there was something between her and that young master of the Yan Family.

The noodles and milk tea were served at this time, and Lu Qingxu ate his food in silence.

Bai Lu felt a pang of guilt but tried hard to control herself, to avoid saying anything that could lead to a turnaround and end up causing him to sink deeper.

From the time they were students until now, they had known each other for six or seven years, but this dinner turned out to be the most silent meal they’ve ever shared.

When Lu Qingxu escorted Bai Lu back to the hospital to get her car, he remained silent until Bai Lu started the car and was about to leave, then he tapped on the car window.

Bai Lu rolled down the window and, with his hand on the roof of the car, he bent over and looked at her, "Junior Sister, do I have no chance at all?"

Bai Lu didn’t know what to say and could only respond in a soft voice, "Senior Brother, I’m sorry!"

Lu Qingxu was a very nice guy, but Bai Lu just did not feel anything for him. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been zero progress in the six or seven years they knew each other.

Disappointment filled Lu Qingxu’s eyes, and obviously, he had been misled by Bai Lu into misunderstanding her relationship with Yan Xu.

Bai Lu had no intention of clarifying the misunderstanding, which, to him, must have seemed like a beautiful mistake.

Lu Qingxu slowly straightened up and waved his hand towards her, a look of dejection on his face.

...

When Bai Lu saw Yan Xu again, it was at the Public Hospital.

Yan Xu was accompanied by the Yan Family’s driver for a routine examination at the hospital, while Bai Lu was there for a meeting about her research topic

The meeting lasted from two-thirty in the afternoon until five-thirty, after which someone suggested having dinner together in the evening, and several of the doctors involved in the research expressed their interest.

As Director Luo’s favored student, Bai Lu was entrusted with a mountain of tasks by Director Luo. Furthermore, she had surgery scheduled at the Branch Hospital for several consecutive days, so when everyone looked to her for a response, she waved her hands in refusal.

"I applied for leave today, and tomorrow I have a surgery that will last for more than ten hours. Director Luo also wants me to submit this data by Friday, so I really don’t have the time. I’ll treat everyone next time!"

It was evident to everyone that Bai Lu was busy.

Despite not yet being twenty-three years old and having not worked at the Branch Hospital for very long, she had already had a number of people requesting her specifically for surgeries because of her connections.

So when she talked about taking a leave, everyone was understanding.

While the others stayed in the conference room to discuss the location for the evening meal, Bai Lu, holding a pile of data, left them behind.

Director Luo had told her after the meeting that she should come to his office later.

She hugged a large pile of data and stood outside the office door, shouting inside, "Master, I’m coming in!"

"Come in..."

The door opened from the inside, and Bai Lu walked in.

It was only after she had placed the stack of data on his desk that she realized there was someone else in the office.

"Young Master Yan? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Yan Xu here, Bai Lu was quite surprised.

Sitting on the sofa, Yan Xu glanced at the pile of data on the desk that resembled a small mountain, "Came back for a check-up..."

Bai Lu then remembered that it had been half a month since she left the Yan Family to return to the branch hospital to work.

The last contact she had with Yan Xu was a few WeChat messages they exchanged when his parents left.

Behind the office desk, Director Luo handed the just-signed examination results to the Yan Family’s driver, "The examination results this time are much better than the last. Go back and continue the rehabilitation and recovery plan as before."

The driver took the report and returned to Yan Xu’s side.

At that moment, Bai Lu noticed that there was no wheelchair next to Yan Xu.

"Yan Xu, can you walk now?"

Yan Xu stood up, "Yes, but I can’t walk too far or too fast."

Bai Lu went over to take a serious look at him and, seeing that he looked quite well and seemed to have gained some weight, began to tease him with a smile.

"The meals at Grandpa’s house must be pretty good. You’ve gained quite a bit of weight in half a month."

Yan Xu nodded, "The food is quite good."

Bai Lu looked enviously at him and then, feeling a bit disheartened, sighed and glared at him, "Fine, I was just being polite, and now you’re showing off. Can’t you be a bit kinder to someone who eats takeout every day?"

Yan Xu looked at her and after a while, said, "Then come home with me for dinner, you’re off work anyway."

Before Bai Lu could agree, he had already turned his head and instructed the driver, "Call home and say Bai Lu is coming over for dinner."

The driver quickly picked up the phone and dialed out, while Bai Lu was stunned for a moment before she could react.

"Hey, Yan Xu, I haven’t agreed to go back with you for dinner."

It’s not that Bai Lu was being pretentious; she just had a bunch of things waiting for her to do.

Yan Xu glanced at her, "You’ll have to eat dinner anyway."

Then he turned to Director Luo and pointing to the papers on the desk, he asked.

"Director Luo, does she need to finish all this work tonight?"

Director Luo stood up, smiled, took the data back in front of him with a wave of his hand, and said to Bai Lu, "Xiao Bai, take the night off. I’ll have someone send these data to the branch hospital tomorrow. Have a good dinner tonight without worries."

Bai Lu looked incredulously at Director Luo who was turning to leave, "Master, just now in the meeting you said..."

Director Luo came over, put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her towards the door, "Go on, work is important but not as important as people. Young Master Yan can’t stand for long, you two should hurry along so as not to tire him out. I can’t afford it if something happens."

Bai Lu was pushed out of the office, and Yan Xu, accompanied by the driver, slowly made his way out as well.

"Leave your car here, and the driver will bring you back tomorrow to pick it up."

Yan Xu made the decision for her, and Bai Lu, feeling astonished, took a deep look at him, and in the end, said nothing and followed them to the parking lot.
