Chapter 1099: Chapter 1096: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (57)

Bai Lu finally caught her breath and gave him another big eye roll.

"Young Master Yan, please bless me with a peaceful breakfast."

Yan Xu picked up a dumpling for her, undeterred by her eye roll and reminded her,

"Doctor Bai, you still haven’t answered my question."

Bai Lu sighed helplessly, "Young Master, what makes you think that way?"

Yan Xu pointed to his head, "On my intuition..."

Bai Lu glared at him disdainfully, "Yan Xu, your great wisdom and intuition are supposed to be used against enemies, not against weak and innocent commoners like me."

Yan Xu withdrew his piercing gaze and picked up his chopsticks to dip a dumpling in vinegar before putting it into his mouth.

"With my extraordinary insight, the more evasive and vague the answers, the more problematic it becomes."

Bai Lu smiled, raising both hands to show her surrender, "Young Master Yan, I admit he did confess his feelings to me, but I’ve clearly rejected him. Now, we’re just purely colleagues."

Yan Xu glanced at her, "Not purely before?"

Bai Lu chuckled, leaned forward on the table, and lifted her eyelids to look at him.

"Comrade Yan Xu, are you jealous?"

Yan Xu glanced at her coolly, "No, I just think he’s not suitable for you, just reminding you as a friend."

The Bai Lu of the past hated it when others poked their noses into her life or actions.

It was only at this moment that she realized this dislike was actually person-dependent.

Facing Yan Xu’s friendly reminder, she didn’t feel annoyed or fed up at all.

She leaned forward to sit upright, smiling warmly at Yan Xu, thanking him.

"I also think he’s not suitable for me, so I made it clear to him early on. However, it doesn’t mean we should avoid each other just because we’re not suitable as lovers, right?"

Yan Xu nodded, and the topic about Lu Qingxu was thus concluded.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Lu went back to her bedroom to catch up on sleep while Yan Xu went about his daily routine of rehabilitation therapy methodically.

When Bai Lu woke up, it wasn’t lunchtime yet; she went out for a walk but didn’t see Yan Xu, knocked on his room door with no response, so she casually asked someone, "Where is the young master?"

"The young master is in the gym for his rehabilitation. It should be ending soon."

Bai Lu went to the gym to find him and saw Yan Xu lying on the floor as the coach massaged his back for relaxation.

Hearing the noise, Yan Xu and the coach both turned their heads.

Sweaty-faced, Yan Xu smiled at her, "Awake?"

Bai Lu hummed a confirmation, took off her slippers, and stepped barefoot onto the treadmill.

"Want the coach to teach you some fitness exercises?"

Bai Lu declined Yan Xu’s kind offer and set the treadmill to a slow pace of six kilometers.

"Don’t mind me; just here to stretch my limbs."

The coach, surnamed Qi, smiled and glanced at Bai Lu, "Young Master Yan, Doctor Bai’s figure is quite standard already, no need for deliberate toning."

Bai Lu smirked triumphantly at Yan Xu, "Heard that? I’ve got the perfect figure!"

"Coach Qiqi, you don’t know, this girl snacks like a beast! She even drinks wine, and I guess when no one’s watching, she must indulge in plenty of junk food and late nights, and she’s a doctor too..."

At this moment, Yan Xu was like a child. Perhaps the coach, who seemed to be in his thirties, gave off a bit of a big brother vibe.

Bai Lu stuck out her tongue at him, "I just love it when people dislike me and can’t do anything about it!"

Thus, the gym became a battleground of banter between the two. After Yan Xu finished his rehabilitation and Bai Lu sweat lightly walking a few kilometers on the treadmill, they returned to the main house, each took a shower in their rooms, and then came out to have lunch.

"I have to go back to the Public Hospital later, I won’t be back for dinner tonight."

Yan Xu paused while serving himself some food, "Aren’t you supposed to be off today? Has your master asked you to perform surgery again?"

Bai Lu shook her head, "No, there’s some progress in the research project, I need to go back and have a meeting with my team to discuss."

Yan Xu shook his head, "At this rate, when do you ever find time to rest?"

Bai Lu clicked her fingers loudly, "Didn’t I sleep all morning today? Plus, I ran with Young Master Yan for half an hour. It’s been quite a fulfilling rest day."

Yan Xu knew this was Bai Lu’s private business, and he had no right to meddle, "Okay then, but don’t forget you promised Grandpa to keep a good eye on me. Don’t stay out all day."

Bai Lu rested her chin in her hands and smiled mischievously at him, "Young Master Yan, you look like a wife abandoned at home and fallen from favor..."

Yan Xu glared at her.

After getting familiar, Bai Lu understood that the once taciturn and cold Yan Xu was just his public persona.

With acquaintances, he could be quite talkative and tolerant towards friends.

It took a long time for Bai Lu to truly understand that this talkative and tolerant Yan Xu was a limited edition, reserved exclusively for those he deemed extremely important.

"Alright, what do you want to eat? I’ll bring it from work after I finish. Be good and stay home, no messing around!"

Bai Lu’s joke earned her an eye roll from Yan Xu.

...

Director Luo’s research topic was a field unexplored both domestically and abroad. thus, even though Bai Lu and her team spent considerable time reviewing a vast amount of domestic and international medical cases and data, progress was slow.

At that moment, Bai Lu displayed the little bit of seemingly useful data gathered by everyone onto the large screen.

Her beautiful face held a calm and wisdom that belied her age, "I suspect that we started off in the wrong direction. Take a look at this set of data..."

Yan Xu, standing silently at the half-open door of the conference room, couldn’t understand Bai Lu’s scholarly speech. He just knew that Bai Lu, standing at the podium explaining to about a dozen group members, looked incredibly cool!

This kind of coolness was different from what he was used to seeing year-round—those holding guns pointed at desperate criminals—but it still made his heart race and his eyes unable to look away.

Initially, when he was still hazy and overheard nurses discussing the impressive deeds of the young and beautiful Doctor Bai, he was mostly disdainful, assuming they were just exaggerating a common person who was slightly better than others.

But having interacted more, and personally seeing her confidently addressing her much older team members, answering each of their doubts with ease, this Bai Lu, standing among a crowd, shone like a dazzling beacon.

Yan Xu didn’t know how long he had stood by the door. When he came to his senses, he slipped out quietly.

Originally, he hadn’t come to the hospital for Bai Lu.

Bai Lu had taken a phone call as she left the house, saying that his comrade had been injured, so he brought some fruits to visit the man. Afterward, he unintentionally passed by the conference room and couldn’t help but peek inside. Once he did, his feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move away.
