Chapter 1098: Chapter 1095: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (56)

Bai Lu finished the snacks and was preparing a cup of warm milk to drink before going to sleep.

But sometimes, man’s plans are no match for those made by heaven.

The office had no hot water, and as she held the cup and opened the door, she was startled by Lu Qingxu, who was lingering outside.

Bai Lu instinctively took two steps back, and upon realizing it was Lu Qingxu, she exhaled deeply.

"Senior brother, you’re trying to scare me to death!"

Lu Qingxu, carrying a bag in his hand, extended it toward her, "I heard you just had surgery, are you hungry? I bought some dumplings outside, shall we eat together?"

Bai Lu had eaten quite a few snacks and was actually quite full, but Lu Qingxu had bought dumplings from the northern dumpling house across the street, which she loved to eat. Even though she wasn’t hungry, the fragrance immediately evoked her cravings, and she swallowed her saliva secretly.

"Then... I’ll just have a few, thank you, senior brother."

By the time she had prepared her milk and returned to the office, Lu Qingxu had already laid out two boxes of dumplings with different fillings and had poured vinegar and chili sauce onto the box lids, waiting for her return to eat together.

"Are you on duty tonight, senior brother?"

Ever since she had officially rejected Lu Qingxu, they hadn’t met for a while.

For one, both were busy and Bai Lu had taken a few days off to accompany Bai Xiangdong. Secondly, both were deliberately avoiding each other.

"Yeah, I came to find you a few times but you weren’t here."

Bai Lu felt a bit guilty, "Sorry, my grandfather had a minor car accident, and I took some days off to accompany him."

As for deliberately avoiding each other, it was to avoid mutual awkwardness.

Lu Qingxu nodded with a concerned look and inquired, "I heard about it, is grandfather feeling better now?"

Bai Lu picked up a dumpling, dipped it in chili sauce and vinegar, chewed it a few times in her mouth, and sighed contentedly.

"He’s fine now, happy and back in City B."

Lu Qingxu made a sound of agreement, ate a few dumplings consecutively, and then lifted his head to look at Bai Lu. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.

"Junior sister, can we still be friends?"

Bai Lu was surprised for a moment, then showed a sincere smile, "Senior brother, of course we are friends."

Lu Qingxu looked at her seriously for a few moments, confirmed she wasn’t lying, and then let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Ah, these past few days have been agonizing, I thought you were going to blacklist me."

Bai Lu was still eating dumplings, her cheeks puffed and lips pursed, she looked at him with a smile.

"How could that be? Even if I blacklisted someone else, I would never blacklist you, senior brother!"

Lu Qingxu’s demeanor relaxed a lot, as he continued eating dumplings and teased her with a tilted head, "Who’s that someone else? The Young Master of the Yan family?"

Bai Lu hesitated once more, then pretended to be angry and kept a straight face, "Senior brother, how can you be like this? It seems being too kind doesn’t pay off; maybe I should let you stay in the blacklist to cool off..."

Lu Qingxu laughed and apologized, "Don’t, junior sister, isn’t it enough that I know I was wrong?"

After they cleared the air, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Bai Lu, without realizing it, ate too much.

After Lu Qingxu left, she took some digestion medicine from the medicine box, lied on the bed and slowly rubbed her stomach, and eventually fell asleep while doing so.

The next day, she returned to the Yan family residence nearly at nine o’clock, and the Butler hurried forward to take the large bunch of hydrangeas she was holding.

"Doctor Bai, are these for your room?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "Just put them in the living room," she said, looking around, "Where’s Yan Xu? Hasn’t he gotten up yet?"

The Butler turned to request Aunt Lan to find a vase to arrange the flowers, and then replied to her, "The Young Master and Ning Young Master have gone for training, said they’d be back at nine thirty."

Regarding Yan Xu gradually resuming training, although Bai Lu wasn’t entirely in agreement, she understood she couldn’t stop him.

"Did the Family Doctor go with them?"

Bai Lu wasn’t the host here, but to Yan Xu, she was both a friend and his doctor; hence, she invariably inquired about anything concerning his health and recovery.

The butler nodded with a smile, "He went there together, and the young master did everything Doctor Bai instructed. Don’t worry."

Only then did Bai Lu feel relieved and picked up her bag to return to her room.

"Doctor Bai hasn’t had breakfast yet?"

Bai Lu checked the time, "I’ll wait for Yan Xu to come back and eat together..."

After taking a bath, Bai Lu picked up a book and snuggled up in bed to read.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when there was a knock on the door, "Bai Lu, it’s time for breakfast!"

It was Yan Xu’s voice.

"Coming..."

Bai Lu set the book aside on the bed and swiftly got out of bed.

Yan Xu stood outside the door, wearing a gray sportswear, his fresh aura mingled with a hint of chill.

Bai Lu raised an eyebrow, "Did you walk back?"

Yan Xu made a sound of acknowledgment, "It’s not far, just a few minutes walk."

Following him to the dining room, Bai Lu said, "I have a noon shift tomorrow, can you take me on a walk in the morning to see it?"

Yan Xu replied, "Sure, I’ll wake you up tomorrow."

Aunt Lan brought a plate of fried dumplings and a plate of boiled dumplings. Bai Lu gobbled one after the other and then, because they were too hot, she puffed out air with her mouth open before continuing to devour several dumplings. Then she sighed, "Still, the dumplings made by your chef are a bit tastier."

Yan Xu quickly caught the essential part of her statement, "Did you eat dumplings this morning?"

Yan Xu, being such a clever person, knew that the happiness brought by gourmet food in someone like Bai Lu’s heart wouldn’t last too long.

Bai Lu didn’t think much about it and corrected his timing, "Not this morning, it was last night."

Yan Xu looked at her, "You went out for dumplings after surgery so late last night?"

Bai Lu added some hot sauce to her bowl, "I didn’t go out. My senior fellow bought them for me to eat."

Yan Xu paused for a moment, "Your senior? That Lu Qingxu?"

Bai Lu made a sound of acknowledgment, "Yes, him. You still remember him?"

Yan Xu glanced at her bowl and kindly reminded her, "Don’t eat too spicy, you’ve just stayed up late last night, it’s easy to get inflamed."

"It’s fine, I slept pretty well last night."

After saying this, she continued to ask him, "You still remember my senior?"

Instead of directly answering her question, Yan Xu asked her, "Are you close with him?"

Bai Lu didn’t deny it, "Quite close, he has always taken good care of me since way back, and happens to be in the same hospital, so naturally, we are closer."

Yan Xu played with the dumplings in his bowl with his chopsticks for a while before finally raising his head to stare at Bai Lu.

"Is he pursuing you?"

Bai Lu was drinking soymilk and suddenly choked. After coughing for a while, she finally stopped.

Her face turned red as she took the tissue Yan Xu handed her and pursed her lips, casting a sidelong glance at him, "Are you trying to choke me?"

Yan Xu also took a big sip of soymilk and said lightly, "Can’t I ask that?"

Bai Lu really wanted to thump him, but unfortunately, her arms weren’t that long.

"You can ask, but could you pick a better setting to ask? I almost choked to death!"

Yan Xu put down his cup, his dark, glossy eyes fixing steadily on her.

"Does this kind of question need a suitable setting? It’s not a confession..."
