Chapter 1092: Chapter 1089: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (50)

Fortunately, both Bai Shao Zong Xiaoyan and Zhu Qianying were people who understood restraint. Though they joked around in the Friends Circle, none of them actually called to verify anything.

Moreover, even though Bai Lu was on vacation, she still tried to carve out time every day to organize the materials for her project.

So, not long after she posted that status in the Friends Circle, she went back to her study to work on her own things until Bai Xiangdong knocked on the door of the study. She then extricated herself from piles of documents and looked at the time, realizing it was almost six o’clock.

"Grandpa, the door isn’t locked, come in," she said.

Bai Lu saved the organized data, set the computer to sleep mode, and stood up to stretch languidly.

Bai Xiangdong, who came in through the door, took a close look at her and asked seriously, "You didn’t take a nap again, did you?"

Bai Lu, not wanting him to worry, pointed to the sofa, "I took a quick nap on the sofa..."

Bai Xiangdong obviously didn’t believe her words, "You’re lying again, look at those dark circles."

Bai Lu pushed him gently toward the living room outside, laughing hee-hee as she made a promise.

"I’ll go to bed at ten tonight and return to you a refreshed and baby-faced precious granddaughter, okay?"

Bai Xiangdong sighed, "Other girls your age, when they have time, they get all dolled up for dates and shopping sprees. Look at you, always either at the hospital or flipping through mountains of data. It breaks our hearts to see you like this."

Bai Lu led him into the living room, still speaking in a soothing voice, "Grandpa, just like some old people enjoy keeping birds and practicing Tai Chi, and you like traveling and antiques, I’m the same. Other girls might like pretty dresses and hustle and bustle, but I like the operation table and the quiet search for breakthroughs amid piles of data. It’s just a matter of different interests, nothing serious."

Bai Xiangdong of course understood all this, but still, he couldn’t help but feel melancholic.

"Speaking of which, you might not know, but when I first found out about your existence without having seen you yet, I actually resented you. Because of you, how much suffering my precious daughter had to endure. But when I saw you, at first glance, just like when I first saw your mom, I was so moved I just wanted to cry, with a voice in my heart saying, ’What a beautiful little baby.’ So, even though I understand that you’re happy and joyful now, sometimes I can’t help but think that you could have chosen the easy path of an ordinary wealthy girl, enjoying the protected love and happiness of growing up under your parents’ wings, but you chose the most difficult path instead."

Indeed, with the Zong Family’s background, Bai Lu had a golden, radiant path laid out before her.

But she had chosen a thorny path that she had to brave through on her own.

"But then, I definitely wouldn’t be as happy as I am now."

For Bai Lu, everything at present was in its best state.

"But at this rate, it must be hard to even find a boyfriend, right?"

After all was said and done, this was what Bai Xiangdong was actually worried about.

Bai Lu giggled, "Grandpa, you really don’t have to worry about that. Your precious granddaughter has plenty of suitors. It’s just that my standards are really high, and ordinary people simply don’t catch my eye."

Bai Xiangdong’s expression brightened a bit, still half doubtful, "Are there really people chasing after you?"

Bai Lu nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiangdong asked, "Is one of those people baby boy?"

Bai Lu didn’t expect him to bring Yan Xu into it and quickly shook her head, "Of course not, baby boy and I are just friends. Those who are chasing after me are colleagues from the hospital, and there are also senior students from school."

In her heart, Yan Xu always occupied an extremely important and special place, but it was certainly different from what Bai Xiangdong imagined.

Bai Xiangdong was visibly disappointed, pointing to the flowers on the coffee table, "He’s already sending you flowers, I thought..."

Bai Xiangdong, an old man, was quite slow on matters of the heart. Before Yan Xu sent Bai Lu the flowers, he had never suspected anything between Yan Xu and Bai Lu.

"It’s really not like that, look at how we get along, do we seem like boyfriend and girlfriend?"

After giving it some thought, Bai Xiangdong said, "You don’t seem like it; you’re actually more like siblings."

Bai Lu was both irritated and amused. "Shouldn’t it be an older sister and younger brother? I’m clearly older than him!"

"It’s different, just like Yen Yen around you, even after a few more years, will still have a childlike air, but baby boy around you has that brotherly ’I’ve got your back’ strong presence. Haven’t you noticed it yourself?"

That was something Bai Lu really hadn’t noticed.

"Grandpa, shouldn’t we order takeout by now? Or would you like to go out and see what good food there is?"

Bai Lu didn’t want to explore Yan Xu’s thoughts and stance any further and diverted the conversation subconsciously.

Bai Xiangdong glanced outside the window where the sun had just set, painting half the sky red.

"The sunset is quite beautiful, let’s go for a walk."

The grandfather and grandson changed their clothes and went downstairs, strolling leisurely out of the community. They wandered around until the sky turned completely dark, and the street lights came on one by one before they casually picked a restaurant, stir-fried a few dishes, and then ambled back.

"Have you used up all your vacation days?"

On the shady path back in the community, Bai Xiangdong suddenly asked Bai Lu.

Bai Lu calculated seriously, "I still have three days left, Grandpa, where would you like to go? I’ll go with you."

But Bai Xiangdong waved his hand, "No, no, Xiao Bao’s Grandpa said he wanted to visit City B, and I’ve made plans with him to go back to City B tomorrow."

Bai Lu was quite surprised. "When did you guys arrange this? How come I didn’t know?"

"We arranged it this afternoon. Yan Ge said he hasn’t been to City B in several years, so I asked if he was free. If so, we could go there to hang out for a few days. Then, we set it up."

Bai Lu was quite impressed with her grandfather’s efficiency.

"Alright then, what flight are you preparing to take? I’ll help you book the tickets."

Bai Xiangdong again waved his hand, "No need, Yan Ge has a private jet!"

Bai Lu thought about it and agreed; for someone like Yan Yuan, riding a regular flight really wasn’t appropriate.

And so, the next morning, Uncle Wen drove over to pick up Bai Lu and Bai Xiangdong.

When Yan Yuan met the grandfather and grandson, the first thing he did was entrust Bai Lu, "Xiao Lizi, I might be away for quite some time this trip. If it’s convenient for you, could you stay over and help look after baby boy?"

Bai Lu thought that, with Yan Xu’s strong personality, he would be the first to express opposition.

After all, he was already recovering well in all aspects. Daily life was completely unobstructed, and besides, the Yan Family had a butler, drivers, nannies, and a crowd of doctors. If it came to looking after someone, it really wasn’t her turn.

However, when Bai Lu looked at him for help, the guy acted as if he hadn’t heard Yan Yuan’s words at all and was busy instructing several bodyguards to load their elders’ luggage onto the plane.

Bai Lu had no choice but to say, "Grandpa, I’ll try my best, but I work long hours, and many times I’m at the hospital all day. To say that I can look after him..."

Yan Yuan casually waved his hand, indicating it didn’t matter, "No problem, there are other people at home taking care of him. It’s just for you to come over and check on him when you have time. Otherwise, no one else can handle him."
