Chapter 1089: Chapter 1086: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (47)

Yan Xu thought for a moment, looked around, then pointed at Bai Xiangdong, who was seriously haggling with someone in the distance, and said to Bai Lu, "You go see what Grandfather wants to buy, and I’ll be right back."

Bai Lu thought he suddenly had some urgent matter and quickly pushed his shoulder, "Go ahead, Grandfather and I will wait for you inside. If you have an emergency, you can leave first, and Grandfather and I will take a taxi back later."

Yan Xu didn’t explain and nodded in agreement with her suggestion.

Bai Lu jogged back to Bai Xiangdong’s side, "Grandfather, what do you want to buy?"

Bai Xiangdong turned to look at her, stood up straight, and asked with a smile, "What were you and baby boy whispering about over there?"

Bai Lu thought he was just preoccupied with the little trinkets he was interested in, not realizing that he had been secretly observing her and Yan Xu the whole time.

"I was speaking ill of you with baby boy!"

Bai Xiangdong chuckled and, seeing his granddaughter didn’t want to say more, didn’t press further. He patted her shoulder to bring her closer to the stall. "What do you think about this landscape painting screen? It should look quite nice in my study, right?"

Bai Lu didn’t care whether it was nice or not. After all, they weren’t short on money at home. If he liked it, then they should just buy it.

Besides, if one day he no longer liked it, they could just put the screen in his antique shop and sell it.

"It is very nice. Have you negotiated a good price yet, Grandfather?"

Bai Lu took out her mobile phone, ready to make a transfer and pay.

"Not yet, it feels like a hassle to bring home," he said.

Bai Lu said, "It’s not a hassle!"

Having said that, she negotiated with the boss, "Boss, we’re from out of town. We’d like to buy this screen, can you help us express it home, okay?"

The boss was also straightforward, "Of course, it’s possible. This gentleman is an expert, and I’ve learned a lot from him. Let’s do this, I’ll give you a straight fifty percent discount, including postage."

Bai Lu, not knowing the going rate, tilted her head seeking Bai Xiangdong’s opinion.

"Okay, deal!"

Bai Lu scanned a code to pay, asked the boss for a receipt, and left their home address with the boss.

After buying the screen, Bai Lu suddenly remembered that the apartment was lacking something.

"Grandfather, I want to buy a few vases. Would you help me take a look?"

Bai Xiangdong was somewhat surprised, "Why do you want to buy vases? As decorations?"

Bai Lu said confidently, "Of course, to put flowers in! Who said I’m using them for decoration?"

Bai Xiangdong said "Oh," and then looked at her thoughtfully for a while, "Alright, let’s go to that shop on the left up ahead. They have nice vases. I’ll take you there."

Following Bai Xiangdong, Bai Lu entered the shop and gave a quick look around, "Should I buy vases with collectible value or just some cheap ones?"

Bai Lu really didn’t mind either way, "As long as they’re nice, cheap or expensive is fine by me."

Bai Xiangdong nudged her shoulder, "Then you have a look yourself first. Whatever you like, I’ll help you haggle the price down."

With the shop assistant’s company, Bai Lu toured around the shop, picking out seven or eight vases, big and small.

"Grandfather, I’ve chosen."

Having been idly chatting with the boss, Bai Xiangdong came over to see and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Little girl, why do you need so many? Wouldn’t one or two be enough?"

Bai Xiangdong had a typical male perspective. Even though he knew which vases were valuable and which weren’t, he didn’t understand that for girls, vases are like flowers’ clothes—always using the same one is like wearing the same outfit every day.

"Grandfather, I like all of these. I’ll use them in rotation."

Bai Xiangdong teased her with a laugh, "You talk as if you have flowers to put in them every day. From what I can see, you’re so busy that even if you buy these vases, you probably won’t use them even once."

Bai Lu didn’t argue with him anymore. She let him touch her head with a face full of indulgent amusement, and then he graciously haggled on her behalf.

Bai Lu made the payment and wrote the apartment address on a piece of paper, handing it to the boss.

"Boss, can you help me deliver this to the address this afternoon?"

Bai Xiangdong uttered a sound of surprise, "Why not have it delivered straight to the car? Baby boy’s car is very spacious."

"He just had an urgent matter to attend to and had to step away for a bit. I’m not sure if he’ll be back later, so let the boss deliver it."

Bai Xiangdong grew even more puzzled, "Baby boy has something urgent? Is it very important?"

"I’m not sure; it’s his business, not something we can just ask about, right?"

"That’s true. Alright then, we grandfather and grandson will continue our stroll. Grandfather will treat you to something delicious tonight!"

Others might be somewhat convinced when they hear promises of delicious food.

But when Grandfather talks about delicious food, there’s basically nothing to look forward to.

However, she didn’t want to dampen the old man’s spirits, so she nodded happily and said, "Alright! Don’t you back out."

Not long after the grandfather and granddaughter duo left the shop selling vases, the phone rang.

Bai Lu thought it was the hospital calling, but when she checked, it was Yan Xu.

"Bai Lu, where are you and Grandfather? I’ll come to meet you!"

Bai Lu was surprised, "You’re back already? Is everything taken care of?"

"Yeah, everything is settled. As for the outcome, we’ll see in a bit."

Bai Lu vaguely heard Yan Xu laughing, but she felt it was probably her imagination.

"We’re at the entrance of a tea house called Autumn Leaves, just two or three hundred meters to the left of where my grandfather was standing at the stand. Come now, we’re waiting for you."

"Okay, go and have a cup of tea and rest for a while, I’ll find you in the shop."

This tea house called Autumn Leaves was precisely the shop where Bai Lu had bought the jade pendant yesterday.

"Grandfather, let’s go in for a cup of tea and rest while we wait for Yan Xu."

"Has baby boy come back so soon?"

Bai Xiangdong felt that if he hadn’t been played by his granddaughter, then she must have been played by that boy, Yan Xu.

"Mmm, he said that he has finished his business. Perhaps it was something that could be handled over the phone."

Bai Lu didn’t think too deeply about it and, linking arms with Bai Xiangdong, entered the shop. They had intended to find a conspicuous spot or one by the window, but the business was too good and only a four-seater table hidden in the corner was left.

The grandfather and granddaughter ordered tea and some snacks, enjoying the tea brewed by the tea master while waiting for Yan Xu.

After drinking two cups in a row, Bai Xiangdong couldn’t help but exclaim, "The tea here is really good, but alas, it’s too far away."

Bai Lu didn’t know much about tea and didn’t understand much about tea tasting, but even so, she could still taste that today’s tea was indeed both mellow and fragrant.

"There’s a tea set in the apartment. Buy some tea leaves later, and you can brew it yourself."

Hearing their conversation, the tea master quickly stood up and left. Soon after, he returned with a tray carrying several cans of different varieties of tea leaves.

Bai Lu caught a glimpse of the tea master’s shadow but didn’t pay much attention, continuing to chat with Bai Xiangdong about some trivial matters at home.

Suddenly, a big bunch of yellow roses appeared in front of her, and then, a familiar voice floated down into her ears from above.

"Miss Bai Lu, I beg you to be magnanimous, will you forgive me?"

Bai Lu abruptly looked up, staring in surprise at Yan Xu, who was smiling like a fox.

"You said you had something to do, but in reality, you went to buy flowers?"

Yan Xu was still smiling brilliantly, "Miss Bai Lu, that’s not the point. The point is, will you forgive me?"
