Chapter 1091: Chapter 1088: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (49)

Lunchtime was simply determined by where the car parked; White Egret realized it only after they stopped at the Mingxuan Restaurant parking lot.

"Wow, following Young Master Yan Xu, there’s definitely good food!"

Seeing her excitement, Yan Xu couldn’t help but smile, "Mother-in-law has been working on dozens of new dishes recently. Only ten new products have been launched here this month. Shall we try them?"

Saliva almost drooled from White Egret’s mouth as she responded, "Yan Xu, if I get fat, you’ll have to cover my dieting fees."

Bai Xiangdong couldn’t help but interject, "Baby Boy, you don’t need to worry about her; she’s always had a good appetite and I’ve never seen her gain even an ounce of weight."

White Egret immediately pulled a pitiful face, "Grandpa, that’s because it’s tough being a doctor, both mentally and physically."

No one contested her words.

Bai Xiangdong even massaged her head affectionately because of her statement, "When you first wanted to study medicine, I was the first to object. I said, why would a girl choose something so tough? Not to mention the hard work, just look at how severe the doctor-patient relations are nowadays. If there’s really a conflict, a girl like you will only end up at a disadvantage."

"Grandpa, the doctor-patient relations at Jun District Hospital have always been good, so don’t worry."

The hostess led the few of them into a reserved private room, and Yan Xu pulled out chairs for Bai Xiangdong and White Egret. Once both were seated, he spoke up for White Egret.

"Grandpa, I can vouch for that; Jun District Hospital may be tiring but it has good benefits, and the doctor-patient relations have always been harmonious. So, don’t worry. Besides, with me and Grandpa here, anything that comes up is just a phone call away."

Since Yan Xu had forgotten his memories relating to White Egret, he didn’t remember whether or not he was aware of her being in Jun District Hospital prior to this.

But knowing or not actually made no difference.

That was because his last mission was exceptionally long, nearly two years without returning home, and his only contact with home was limited to brief and infrequent safe-check calls once every week or fortnight.

However, from his understanding of his mom, he was sure she must have asked Grandpa to look after White Egret at some point before this.

Bai Xiangdong sighed, White Egret topped up everyone’s tea and joked with Yan Xu with a smile.

"My grandpa treasures me the most. Unless he keeps me in his pocket and watches over me all the time, he can’t be at ease."

Yan Xu nodded in understanding, then handed the menu to the grandfather-granddaughter duo.

"The ten new items have all been prepared by our kitchen. Take a look and see if there’s anything else you’d like to order, just let me know."

Their table, including Uncle Wen, was no more than four people.

"No need, finishing ten dishes will be impressive enough."

Despite being a pampered young lady, White Egret had always been practical without any extravagant or wasteful habits.

The waitress quickly brought out the dishes; the table was filled with ten dishes and a soup.

White Egret kept praising the food as she ate, and Yan Xu simply asked the waitress to call the dining manager over, directly introducing him to White Egret.

"Manager Du, this is my good friend, Doctor White. If she comes over to eat in the future, please take care of her,"

Manager Du naturally exchanged a few courteous words with them and then tactfully exited.

After lunch, Yan Xu and Uncle Wen first dropped White Egret and Bai Xiangdong back at the apartment, then drove him back to the Yan family’s house.

White Egret returned home clutching a big bunch of yellow roses, unsure where to place it.

Bai Xiangdong teased her with a laugh, "What could be missing, a vase maybe?"

Realization dawned on White Egret, and she quickly called the store manager to ask him to deliver a vase as soon as possible.

Soon, the vase arrived. White Egret found a suitable one, inserted the flowers, and placed it on the living room coffee table.

"Who knew Baby Boy could be so romantic,"

Today, Bai Xiangdong was exceptionally lively. White Egret had urged him a few times to go take a nap, but he stubbornly sat on the sofa, watching his granddaughter fussing with that bouquet of flowers.

"Grandpa, I was the one who asked for it, it wasn’t his idea of being romantic!"

Of course, Bai Lu said his apology lacked sincerity, but that was just a joke.

Besides, she didn’t expect him to use flowers to express his apology.

If we consider the typical male thinking, he might have opted to buy some expensive gift as an apology.

Many men have this misconception that the more expensive the gift, the deeper the sincerity it expresses.

However, that’s not necessarily the case.

A gift that hits the right spot, even if it’s just a hot roasted sweet potato bought from the roadside, can be more appealing to a girl than an expensive gift.

And these flowers from Yan Xu, I must say, hit the spot perfectly with Bai Lu.

"Hmm, the rose looks really pretty in this vase!"

She even felt that when she was buying these vases, her subconscious must have guessed that Yan Xu would send flowers.

Bai Lu took several photos from every angle with her mobile phone and casually opened Friends Circle.

She picked four different photos, each from a different angle, and posted, "New vase, pretty isn’t it?"

Zong Xiaoyan almost instantly liked and commented, "My dear sister, is the vase really the highlight? But, curious, why yellow roses?"

Even the little girl who was said to be in deep learning managed to score the second spot in hot comments, "Who upset my beautiful sister? Thinks just sending a bunch of yellow roses will smooth things over? Better pass through my little X-ray vision first!"

Bai Lu was really impressed, these kids, why do they focus on the flowers instead of the vase?

It seems, there really is a generation gap between kids and socialites like her, thinking in different channels.

Bai Lu refreshed the page, this time, it was her own mom, "My baby girl finally got flowers, but curious, why yellow roses?"

On refreshing again, it was Zhu Qianying, "The flowers are pretty, curious though, does the young man who sent the flowers understand the language of flowers? Why yellow roses?"

Bai Lu saw both moms and Zong Xiaoyan airing the same views and, unbelievably, none of them got the focal point right, feeling quite helpless, she was about to make a collective reply to these onlookers, reminding them that the focus should be on the vase, not the flowers.

However, before she could reply, the young man criticized by her own mom for not knowing the language of flowers chimed in proactively.

"Accidentally made Dr. Bai upset, so, sent yellow roses. PS: The vase is super pretty!"

After Yan Xu’s comment, Bai Lu knew she didn’t need to explain any further, because the more she would try, the messier it would get.

Indeed, after she refreshed again, she saw the comments from several onlookers lined up neatly.

Yen Yen: "Oh... So this is the truth!"

Little Princess: "Oh... So this is the truth!"

Mommy: "Oh... So this is the truth!"

Aunt Ying Zi: "Oh... So this is the truth!"

But actually, what this group of onlookers considered the truth was far from it.

Bai Lu, utterly unable to defend herself, definitely couldn’t say that Yan Xu’s apology wasn’t what they thought, but because he had simply forgotten her!

And the most infuriating part was actually Yan Xu himself.

If he hadn’t chimed in, the onlookers would have just stirred things up briefly and then dispersed, but his appearance completely spiraled things out of control.

He probably didn’t realize how calling her "Dr. Bai, Dr. Bai" could seem really ambiguous!
