Chapter 1087: Chapter 1084: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (45)

Bai Xiangdong and Yan Yuan were thoroughly hitting it off, leaving the two young ones out to dry.

The adult Yan Xu generally gave Bai Lu the impression of being reserved and not fond of talking. Thus, Bai Lu didn’t go out of her way to find topics of conversation and just quietly ate her meal, occasionally chiming in when the elders dragged her into their discussions.

She had bought a painting that Yan Yuan quite liked, saying he would hang it in the study room. Later, when he heard that Bai Lu had purchased a jade pendant for Yan Xu, he asked Yan Xu to show it to him.

Yan Xu handed him the jade pendant, and he examined it carefully for a while, "Indeed, it’s fine jade!"

When returning the jade pendant to Yan Xu, he casually asked, "Do you want to have someone set it with a clasp to make it into a pendant?"

Before Yan Xu could respond, Bai Lu said, "Grandpa, his job is special; maybe it’s better not to?"

Yan Yuan nodded, "Right, then baby boy, just take good care of it yourself."

Yan Xu took back the jade pendant and put it away without saying anything.

After dinner, they agreed to meet at the antique market gate at ten o’clock the next morning and then each drove home.

"Is baby boy feeling unwell?"

On the way back, Bai Xiangdong suddenly asked.

Bai Lu was quite surprised, "I don’t think so? His complexion looked good, and he had a decent appetite."

"Then why didn’t he talk much all evening?"

"He doesn’t really like talking now; as you grow up, you naturally talk less."

But Bai Xiangdong shook his head, "No, this morning, he was quite talkative when he joined me for breakfast, he had a lot to say."

Bai Lu laughed, "Grandpa, you are an elder, of course, he can’t be too quiet. Even if he has to pretend, he’d act more enthusiastic. With me, as we are peers, there’s no need to pretend."

Bai Xiangdong was half convinced, but Bai Lu added, "Think about what his job is, Grandpa. Even if he was once more wild and noisy, having been in the special forces for so many years, his personality has long since become reserved and calm."

Finally, Bai Xiangdong was persuaded by Bai Lu, "Still, I prefer him when he was young, sweet-mouthed and understanding."

Bai Lu laughed even more joyfully, "Grandpa, he’s still sweet and understanding with you... Now he is an adult, he can’t be like Yen Yen with a youthful temperament."

Bai Xiangdong sighed, "If it were up to me, I’d never let Yen Yen take on such a dangerous job."

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and besides, he might pursue a career in politics in the future, right? With all his achievements, he’s guaranteed a rapid promotion."

These were all someone else’s issues. Bai Lu didn’t want to discuss them any further and after a few more words, she shifted the conversation to other topics.

When they got back to the apartment, Bai Lu urged Bai Xiangdong to take an early shower and go to bed, while she herself, after taking a bath, worked overtime in the study room until nearly midnight before going back to her bedroom to sleep.

They had agreed to meet at the antique market gate at ten o’clock, yet unbeknownst to her, Yan Xu had arrived at eight o’clock, ringing the doorbell with breakfast in hand.

Bai Lu had slept quite well the previous night and, hearing the doorbell, she walked out to the living room, sleepy-eyed.

Seeing Yan Xu and behind him, Uncle Wen carrying bags big and small, Bai Lu was momentarily stunned.

"Didn’t we agree to meet at the antique market at ten?"

Yan Xu had already changed his shoes and walked in from the entrance hall.

"The manager from Mingxuan sent over some snacks, and since there was still time, I thought I’d bring them over to have breakfast with grandpa."

Bai Lu’s attention was immediately drawn to the bags of food Uncle Wen was carrying.

She sniffed, "It smells great!"

Sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, Bai Xiangdong laughed teasingly, "They say to trap a man you must first trap his stomach, but for you, anyone wanting to take you away just needs to bring over some good food."

Bai Lu began laughing, "No one knows me better than my grandpa!"

Bai Lu asked Yan Xu and Uncle Wen to sit first, while she went back to the bedroom to freshen up.

By the time Bai Lu returned from freshening up, Uncle Wen had made the tea under Yan Xu’s guidance.

Bai Lu sat down, took a sip of tea to open up her taste buds, then picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

"Grandpa, having you here really makes me happy!"

Bai Xiangdong patted her head, "It’s because baby boy is here that you can feel so happy."

Bai Lu looked at Yan Xu with a smile, "He’s so considerate because of you, Grandpa, so I’m just basking in your light."

Yan Xu glanced at her and placed a custard bun in her bowl.

Bai Xiangdong pointed at her and said to Yan Xu, "You heartless girl, why are you feeding her so much?"

"Grandpa, I have to drive later. If I don’t eat enough, I won’t have the strength."

"I’m letting you drive, not pull the car..."

Yan Xu then picked up another shrimp dumpling for Bai Lu, "This is a new and improved recipe from my mother-in-law. See if it tastes better?"

Ever since Mingxuan Hotel changed hands to Zhu Qianying, business has been booming. Over the span of a decade, even though branches were all over big and small cities, reservations were still hard to come by.

Therefore, even though Bai Lu loved Mingxuan’s snacks and food, she didn’t have that much time to queue up and wait for a spot.

Bai Lu ate, her cheeks bulging, "Yan Xu, you and Xiao Xiao are so lucky, whenever you want to eat Mingxuan’s snacks, you can have them anytime."

Yan Xu didn’t say anything, got up and walked to the living room. In a little while, he came back holding a business card and handed it to Bai Lu.

"This Mr. Tan is the manager at Capital City’s Mingxuan. Whatever you want to eat, just call him anytime, and he’ll deliver it to you."

Bai Lu’s eyes widened as she accepted the business card, mumbling thanks, but she felt that she definitely wouldn’t make the call, after all, she wasn’t a member of the Zhu Family. How could she dare to take advantage of the Zhu Family’s privileges?

Yan Xu seemed to have read her thoughts, picked up the phone, and started WeChat to send a message to the manager.

"I’ve already spoken to Manager Tan; just ask him if you need anything. Otherwise, he might think you’re looking down on him."

Bai Lu could only nod again and carefully put away the business card.

Somewhere along the line, Bai Xiangdong had gone silent, watching with a smile as his precious granddaughter and Yan Xu interacted.

When it was time to leave, Yan Xu said, "Uncle Wen is driving the business car today. Otherwise, Bai Lu wouldn’t need to drive. It’s more comfortable for Grandpa if he sits, and I can keep Grandpa company and chat."

Thus, the three of them got into Yan Xu’s car together.

"The co-pilot has a better view, I’ll sit co-pilot!"

Bai Xiangdong also tactfully left the back completely free for the young couple.

However, he didn’t think too much about it; it was simply because Yan Xu and Bai Lu seemed to have had a great chat during breakfast. He thought, young people should indeed have enough space.

Bai Lu was rendered speechless by Grandpa’s series of smooth actions. Seeing him deftly open the door to the co-pilot seat, she couldn’t even stop him.

Yan Xu had already opened the back seat door, signaling Bai Lu to get in, and she didn’t want to seem too fussy, so she bent over and climbed in.

The car drove out of the parking lot, and Bai Xiangdong in the co-pilot seat started chatting with Uncle Wen about children.

Bai Lu and Yan Xu sat in the back seat. If they didn’t talk, it would be somewhat awkward.

So, Bai Lu made small talk.

"Do you want to buy anything?"

Yan Xu seemed to have no specific purpose, "Just strolling around, learning some things from Grandpa. If I see something suitable, I’ll buy it."
