Chapter 1115: Chapter 1112: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (73)

Considering that Bai Lu had a meeting to attend in the afternoon, Yan Xu suggested that they eat at the hotel’s Chinese restaurant.

Bai Lu had no objections, so the two went to the hotel’s Chinese restaurant and ordered some light food. After eating, they went back to Bai Lu’s room to grab her luggage and transferred it to the Suite that Yan Xu had booked.

Bai Lu casually placed her luggage down and took a walk around the Suite.

"Tsk, tsk, Young Master Yan, you really are extravagant. This Suite must cost a pretty penny, huh?"

Bai Lu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass that offered a view of half the city, wrapping her arms around herself and teasingly twisting her head to mock him.

Yan Xu pulled her luggage into her room, strode over to her side with his long legs, and looked out into the distance.

"Money is something you cannot take with you in life or in death. If it can be used to purchase moments of joy, then it’s worth it."

Bai Lu laughed and looked at him sideways, "By that logic, Young Master Yan could afford a very long duration of joy, couldn’t he?"

Yan Xu took his eyes off the view and shook his head seriously, "Not really. There are many things that money can’t buy, especially the joy and satisfaction within one’s heart, which are even harder to buy with money."

Bai Lu stretched lazily towards the sunny blue sky outside, "Indeed, money can’t necessarily buy inner joy and satisfaction, but right now, I am really happy."

Yan Xu nodded, "As long as you’re satisfied. Go take a nap, you have a Seminar to attend in the afternoon."

Bai Lu obediently went back to the Bedroom and found that the Bedroom was, surprisingly, furnished with pink bedspreads and quilts. She couldn’t help but wonder.

She opened the door, poked her head out, and asked Yan Xu, who was reading in the Living room.

"Why does the style of this Bedroom resemble so much the style of the room that Aunt Ying Zi helped me decorate?"

Yan Xu didn’t even lift his head, "I took a photo of your Bedroom and had the hotel manager arrange it accordingly!"

Tsk!

It’s good to be rich!

Bai Lu, while grumbling, felt grateful.

Young Master Yan really knew how to spend money lavishly, all just to give her moments of joy and satisfaction.

"Young Master Yan, thank you! I’m going to sleep now!"

Yan Xu lifted his head and glanced at her indifferently, "Go ahead, I’ll sleep in ten minutes too. Remember to set an alarm."

Bai Lu arrived punctually at the Auditorium where the class was held. The group of older predecessors who had ignored her before now either avoided her or actively came up to exchange pleasantries.

Bai Lu responded politely one by one, found her usual seat as she had done the previous days, spread out her Data, and listened intently to the lecture.

During the break, Bai Lu was taking notes with her head down, ignoring the strange stares and surreptitious whispering around her.

Bai Lu was a person who lived with great clarity. On the surface, it seemed as if she didn’t care about anything, but she was neither naive nor foolish.

On the contrary, she was smart and very understanding of human nature.

She could see the malice in others and the insidiousness in their actions; however, she still believed that goodness prevailed over evil in this world, and she didn’t want to become someone with deep schemes and cunning ways.

At five o’clock, the Seminar ended, and Bai Lu shouldered her backpack and walked out gracefully.

From a distance, she saw Yan Xu wearing a black casual suit, standing out among a group of fifty to sixty-year-old scholar predecessors like a crane among chickens.

Seeing Bai Lu walking out of the crowd, he approached her with long strides and naturally caught her wrist.

"I’ve checked, and there’s a French restaurant nearby with high reviews. Shall we try it tonight?"

Bai Lu looked at him in surprise and then glanced down at his hand.

Yan Xu’s gaze followed hers to his own hand holding her wrist.

"There are many people around, holding hands ensures we won’t get lost!"

Young Master Yan Han spoke with such confidence and righteousness that if Bai Lu were a bit sillier, she might have believed him.

Unfortunately, Bai Lu wasn’t silly.

However, her ability to pretend to be silly wasn’t bad at all.

She stared at his hand for a moment, then lifted her head and gave him a smile, drawing out a long "oh."

Yan Xu led her all the way until they reached the elevator before he released her hand.

In the elevator, aside from the two of them, there surprisingly wasn’t anyone else.

Yan Xu slipped his hand back into the pockets of his casual trousers and asked seemingly offhandedly, "Did anyone give you a hard time this afternoon?"

Actually, he could roughly guess what Bai Lu might have encountered.

"I suppose many people already know who I am, so no one dared to bother me."

Bai Lu had always just wanted to be herself, but she also knew that the identity of the Zong Family’s Miss, on many occasions, acted as a protective shield for her.

This protective armor, she didn’t like to use, nor did she use it often.

But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t use it.

Just as Yan Han earned so much money only wanting his wife and child to happily be themselves, didn’t her father painstakingly maintain the position of the Zong Family’s head, also just to create a secure armor for her, her mommy, and her siblings that would keep them unharmed by the outside world?

"That’s good too! You, stop being foolish in the future!"

To her, Yan Xu had a look of disappointment, as if he were frustrated with her inability to meet his expectations.

Eager to prevent any further lecturing from Young Master Yan, Bai Lu hurriedly nodded her head in agreement.

Who knew that Yan Xu wouldn’t be deceived by her pretense of being good, continuing to speak.

"Let me tell you, some people see our status as an original sin. So, as long as we don’t use it to do evil deeds, it doesn’t hurt to show it off a bit."

Bai Lu nodded obediently, "I understand, Young Master Yan!"

Once Yan Xu was sure she had taken his words to heart, he finally stopped talking.

It wasn’t until they were in the online taxi they had booked that Bai Lu remembered to show concern for his whereabouts that afternoon.

"Were you sleeping the whole time I was in the meeting?"

Yan Xu gave her a look, "How is that possible? The hotel has a gym, where I did two hours of rehabilitation training."

Yan Xu was a person with strong self-discipline. Even without anyone supervising or controlling him, he would make sure to complete everything he had to do.

Such people often achieve great things.

Bai Lu gave him a thumbs up, which Yan Xu simply ignored, "Do you want to go for a walk after dinner?"

Nowadays, as the infrastructure of major cities becomes more similar, traveling from one city to another feels like traveling from the east side of a city to the west, lacking a sense of mystery or attraction.

Therefore, she lacked enthusiasm, "Is there anything special around here?"

But Yan Xu had done some homework, "I’ve heard there’s an Ancient Street around here where many period dramas are filmed. Do you want to go there?"

Bai Lu looked at him, "Do you want to go? If you want to go, I’ll accompany you..."

Yan Xu was not fond of shopping himself, but he would occasionally accompany the Queen and Little Princess of his family for a stroll, generally knowing what kind of things might catch a girl’s attention.

"If you’re not tired after dinner, let’s take a walk. It’s not far from the hotel, just half an hour. If we still have energy, we might catch a musical. The theatre is right opposite the hotel."
