Chapter 1117: Chapter 1114: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (75)

The Hello Kitty cotton candy was crafted so realistically and vividly that Bai Lu held it in her hand, looking delightedly from left to right.

Normally, Yan Xu found people who needed to pose for a photo whenever they ate an ice pop quite bothersome; however, at that moment, he couldn’t help but take out his mobile phone and took several photos of Bai Lu from different angles as she looked at the cotton candy with childlike innocence.

Soon, his barely active Friends Circle suddenly featured a few new photos.

Against the backdrop of the brilliantly lit Republic-era street, the girl’s smiling face bloomed like a flower as she eyed the whimsically shaped cotton candy in her hand. Her expression and features were like a little fairy who had secretly descended from heaven to steal a prized artifact from the mortal world.

The only caption he added was a few simple numbers.

"Silly Dr. Bai!"

The moment he posted it to his Friends Circle, a string of responses exploded forth.

His pack of rascal friends were the first to take sides.

Foolish Ning, "Is she yours?!"

Brother Qiu, "Is she yours?!"

Second Dog Deng, "Is she yours?!"

Little Princess, "Brother, you’re playing favorites! I want Hello Kitty cotton candy too!"

Queen, "Hehe, should I start preparing a big red envelope now?"

Damn Old Dad, "Wife, I’ll have mother pick an auspicious date!"

...

At that moment, Bai Lu was contentedly licking her cotton candy while slowly strolling down the ancient street with Yan Xu, who, after updating his Friends Circle, stuffed his mobile phone into his pocket and didn’t care at all about the stir his impulsive post had caused among his friends and family.

Miles away in L City, Zhu Qianying had already connected over video with Bai Shao from City B.

The best of friends were chatting away enthusiastically.

"Xiao Shao, you see I was right! I told you our haughty Young Master has always had Xiao Lizi on his mind., and you said I was thinking too much. So, how about it, you lost the bet, right?"

Bai Shao and Zong Zhe had only recently returned from an international trip and had been busy sorting out their piled-up affairs. They knew only that their precious daughter was attending some seminar but had not heard from her that she was going with Yan Xu.

"Is baby boy going with Xiao Lizi to the seminar? How come Xiao Lizi never mentioned it?"

As the mother of a daughter, Bai Shao naturally faced different emotions than Zhu Qianying.

Although baby boy no doubt was a terrific young man, part of her was uneasy at the thought that he might be the one to take away the daughter she had raised for over twenty years.

Moreover, she hadn’t heard any related progress from her precious daughter, and since she and Yan Xu weren’t friends, it was only after seeing a screenshot from a friend that she knew the two kids were together shopping.

Seeing her friend’s exuberant expression now made it somewhat difficult for Bai Shao to accept.

Zhu Qianying was still basking in the joy of possibly becoming in-laws with her friend and didn’t notice her friend’s detachment.

"It probably wasn’t a joint trip; maybe, baby boy went to visit her?"

Bai Shao responded with an "Oh," then quickly changed the subject, "How has baby boy been feeling lately?"

Bai Shao, still in an adjustment period, preferred not to respond to her friend’s hopes and discussions, and promptly diverted the topic.

It was only then that Zhu Qianying realized her friend’s aloofness.

"Tsk, Xiao Shao, do you not like my baby boy?"

As they were longtime friends, Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao always spoke frankly to each other.

Bai Shao didn’t hide her feelings. "Ying Zi, it has nothing to do with liking or not liking the baby boy. Just think, if Xiaolu secretly went out to play with my son Xiao Yen behind our backs as adults, how would you feel?"

Zhu Qianying "uhh"ed, then seriously imagined the scenario, and ultimately, she had to admit,

"It seems like I’d feel a bit uncomfortable, as if someone had stolen my precious daughter."

Bai Shao laughed, "Right? That’s exactly how I feel. It doesn’t matter who the date is with, it’s purely as a mommy, that psychological attachment is hard to let go!"

Zhu Qianying also smiled, "Alright, you should think of it this way, at least, if Xiao Lizi really ended up with the baby boy, she wouldn’t have a wicked mother-in-law!"

The two friends started their video call with worrisome minds but ended up laughing joyously. However, whether the moms were happy or worried, it didn’t affect the young couple strolling on Ancient Street.

They walked side by side along the riverbank and then crossed to the other side via an ancient stone bridge.

The stores on the side where they had just bought cotton candy were relatively simple, with less grandeur than this side, mostly consisting of small stalls selling snacks and trinkets.

The shops on this side, however, had a much grander and more orderly appearance. Inside, most were filled with various antique art pieces. Bai Lu and Yan Xu, enthusiastic, browsed from one store to the next along the street, even finding a few items they liked.

After leaving a hand-painted fan store, Bai Lu and Yan Xu faced a travel agency leader waving a small flag leading a large group of tourists. Without thinking, Yan Xu quickly pulled Bai Lu to his side, letting her walk on the inside of the street, and naturally draped his arm around her shoulder as they walked forward.

Initially, Bai Lu didn’t feel much, as when she went out with Zong Xiaoyen, that rascal also protected her with the same guardian posture.

Not until some middle-aged women in the approaching tourist group pointed at them and loudly gossiped, "Yo, look at that couple, the guy is handsome and the girl is pretty, a perfect match!"

"Big sister, they must be filming a movie, right? Where else do you find such a perfectly matched couple?"

Bai Lu, too, had a gossipy heart and thought there really was someone filming. So she looked around but didn’t see any suspicious couple.

Yan Xu knew early on that they were the gossiped-about couple. Seeing Bai Lu looking around foolishly, he couldn’t help but smirk. He moved his hand from her shoulder to her face, turned her toward those women, then chuckled, "Silly, the aunts are talking about us!"

When Bai Lu met the starry-eyed gazes of the women and heard Yan Xu’s explanation, her face instantly flushed red.

"No..."

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Yan Xu say to the group of women, "Aunties, we are not filming a movie!"

Before Bai Lu could react, "smack," she felt a warm sensation on her face; her already blushing face immediately became as red as boiling water, visibly emitting layers of heat.

The women laughed heartily, some even clapping and egging them on, "Yo-ho, young man, give her another kiss!"

The cheers made Bai Lu’s scalp go numb, and she turned as red as a cooked shrimp. Both embarrassed and annoyed, she glared fiercely at Yan Xu, pried his hand off her, and took his wrist to quickly escape from the fully active gossiping women.

Finally distancing themselves from the women, the crowd around them thinned significantly, and Bai Lu stopped, let go of Yan Xu’s hand, and looked up at him indignantly.

"Yan Xu, what are you doing?"

Yan Xu raised an eyebrow, his face suddenly drew close, and he planted another kiss on her lips.

"Just this!"
