Chapter 1111: Chapter 1108: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (69)

Bai Lu had just sat down in the waiting lounge after passing through security when she received a message from Yan Xu.

"Remember to turn on your phone and report back when you arrive safely!"

Bai Lu grinned and responded to him, "Young Master, as you command!"

It’s funny, but this Young Master Yan really exudes the traits of an old mother.

Especially since just before she entered security, he had held her back and nagged her with a stream of cautions—like not to wander alone in foreign places, not to stay alone with individuals of the opposite sex, and not to get too close to those who actively seek to cozy up—all of which made the scene feel strangely familiar to her.

Yet at the moment, she couldn’t remember where she had seen such a scene before.

Actually, the reason the scene felt familiar to her was:

Every time Mommy needed to travel alone or go out on her own, her daddy would behave similarly, always with a laundry list of precautions. Bai Lu and her brother would often complain, suspecting their dad might think their mom was simple-minded?

But when such a scenario occurred with herself, Bai Lu wasn’t the least bit impatient; in fact, she nodded along smilingly the entire time.

Yan Xu quickly replied, "Has there been no delay for your flight? There seems to be a typhoon in D City; I wonder if it will affect the flight."

Bai Lu glanced at the LED screen, "It probably won’t..."

The two of them continued chatting on WeChat until the plane was about to take off, at which point Bai Lu turned off her phone.

Arriving in D City before eleven, Bai Lu turned on her phone as soon as she got off the plane and messaged Yan Xu among the crowd to let him know she was safe.

At this time, Yan Xu was supposed to be doing his rehabilitation exercises, but Bai Lu almost immediately received a reply from him, "Is the hotel far? If it’s too far, find something to eat at the airport first to fill your stomach."

Bai Lu, not very familiar with D City, responded, "Don’t worry about me; the organizers have people in charge of reception, and they should arrange accommodation and food."

"Well, you brought some snacks anyway, if it really doesn’t work out, just cope with some snacks."

Bai Lu sent back an OK gesture, and after that, Yan Xu didn’t say anything further.

Clearly, he had gone back to continue his rehabilitation exercises.

Bai Lu, dragging her luggage, exited the gate and saw a sign bearing the name of the hospital in the distance. She approached to confirm that the person was indeed the hotel’s reception staff.

"Miss Bai, it will take about an hour and a half from the airport to the hotel. Can we have lunch at the hotel after that?"

Bai Lu had no problem with that; after all, she had a large pack of delicious snacks with her.

On the bus, she generously shared the snacks with several doctors, receiving heaps of praise and likes.

"These are too delicious, Miss Bai, what bakery did you buy these from, and can they be purchased online?"

For the first time, Bai Lu quite proudly said, "No, they were not bought from outside; they were made by a chef at home."

Then, unsurprisingly, she garnered a big wave of envy and jealousy.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Bai Lu placed her luggage in her room and then went up to the buffet restaurant for lunch.

The buffet restaurant offered a wide variety of food, and Bai Lu felt like having Japanese today, so she grabbed some sashimi and sushi.

After finding a seat, she took a photo and sent it to Yan Xu, "I’m about to start eating!"

Yan Xu sent a voice message after a while, "Why are you eating Japanese food? Eating something warm is better for the stomach."

Bai Lu had gradually gotten used to Yan Xu occasionally turning into an old mother hen, so she obediently replied, "No, I’m just eating a little bit, I’ll go grab some hot food in a moment."

Actually, it was this remark from Yan Xu that reminded Bai Lu of a business trip where she had eaten some raw and cold food and suffered acute gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea for several days on an intravenous drip.

Remembering that episode, Bai Lu’s appetite for the Japanese dish in front of her plummeted.

After finishing the sashimi and sushi, she grabbed some grilled meat, vegetables, and pasta and even took a photo to send to Yan Xu.

Yan Xu sent just one word in reply, "Good!"

After Bai Lu finished eating, she returned to her room to take a bath and had a nap. Then, as scheduled, she went to the designated conference hall to check in and freely interacted at the event.

Dinner was still arranged at the top of the hotel; as Bai Lu had initially guessed, the youngest other doctor and scholar at her table were nearly fifty, and one of them had just become a grandfather a few months ago.

If they talked about academic matters, Bai Lu was somewhat interested and could chime in a few words, but when it came to grandchildren, as a single woman who didn’t even have a boyfriend, how could she partake in conversations about kids?

The wait for the food to be served felt especially long, and Bai Lu couldn’t help but complain to Yan Xu on WeChat.

"The elders at the table, the youngest one is older than my dad, they’re talking about their grandchildren, I’m so bored..."

Yan Xu didn’t say anything and just sent a picture of four dishes and a soup, just looking at it made Bai Lu salivate.

"Young Master Yan, I’m going to block you!"

Finally, Yan Xu replied, "If it’s really not working out, call for takeout when you get back to your room. Remember, choose places with an actual, reputable store, those trendy spots are better avoided if you can."

The two of them texted back and forth until the food arrived at the hotel, and then Bai Lu finally put down her phone and concentrated on filling her stomach.

While eating, she suddenly remembered something.

Apparently, Yan Xu rarely used his phone while eating and even normally, she seldom saw him using his phone; most of the time, he seemed to be doing serious work.

Really, had she been a bad influence on him?

Bai Lu silently did some self-reflection and then decided that from now on, she should learn to control herself and not message Yan Xu unnecessarily.

That guy might seem cold and aloof to those who don’t know him well, but actually, he was a very gentlemanly man. Any message she sent, he would surely reply.

Just then, a doctor looking to be in his sixties at her table called out to her, "Doctor Bai, I heard that the director of Jun District General Hospital took on a disciple, is that true? With his temper, could he really handle having a disciple?"

Bai Lu was somewhat upset because she was extremely protective of those she considered her own.

"My master has a very good temper, Professor Zhao, are you sure you’re not misunderstanding him?"

Professor Zhao hurriedly waved his hands, "I’m not saying he has a bad temper, it’s just that his standards are too high and too strict, not everyone can endure it. Can a young lady like you handle it?"

"You see, I’m doing just fine, aren’t I? Our field is a special one, high standards are the norm; otherwise, how would we achieve breakthroughs and new results?"

Because of what Professor Zhao said, Bai Lu felt quite stifled during the meal, but as a junior, she couldn’t really do anything about him.

Several times, she naturally reached out for her phone wanting to send a complaint to Yan Xu, but remembering the resolution she had just made, she deleted the contents she had typed, put the phone back in her purse, and forced herself to quietly eat her meal.
