Chapter 1124: Chapter 1116 (Grand Finale) Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy Extra_6

Because these are two crucial matters in ensuring a child’s personal safety.

"Mommy, everything is fine here. You and Daddy don’t need to worry about me. The situation here is already under control for now."

Bai Lu ended the video chat hastily after less than a minute.

Because at that moment, the Assistant returned with everyone’s lunch—a big plate of potatoes and steamed buns, along with a large dish of pickles.

And even with such simple meals, Bai Lu still enjoyed her food immensely.

The Assistant and other Staff members couldn’t help but feel envious seeing her savoring the meal with great relish.

And each time like this, Bai Lu would express her thanks to her Mommy.

"Let me tell you, the food my Mommy makes is way worse than this. So just be content with what you have," she’d say.

The colleagues accompanying her were mostly male doctors in their thirties and forties. At first, no one knew about Bai Lu’s prominent background. But once the word got out, everyone marveled at how humble and adaptable she was—a rich young lady from an affluent family able to sleep in such rough conditions and yet eat such coarse food.

Now, hearing her tease them like this, one of them joked back.

"Dr. Bai, the key point is, with your family’s wealth, your Mommy doesn’t really need to cook, right?"

Bai Lu never boasted about her background, never mentioned being the Zong Family’s Miss, and certainly didn’t talk about the tough years she spent abroad with her Mommy.

"Who said that? My Daddy often pesters my Mommy to cook, and I always tell my brother that it must be true love that Daddy has for Mommy. However, his way of expressing love is a bit special, showing his love by eating the worst dishes my Mommy makes."

Bai Lu continued to relish her pickles and steamed buns, while exploiting her parents’ anecdotes for a light-hearted jab at the current meal.

Besides the packed schedule of treating patients, Bai Lu unexpectedly received a confession.

Among the group was a 28- or 29-year-old doctoral returnee who could be considered a young talent. After working with Bai Lu in the epidemic area for six or seven days, he straightforwardly expressed his affection and desire to date her,

"Dr. Bai, I feel we have similar interests and are quite compatible in many ways. So, how about we try dating?"

Since he was so direct, Bai Lu naturally didn’t play coy and shook her head with a smile,

"Dr. Zhu, sorry, I have a boyfriend already."

The talented young man looked utterly astonished as if the idea of being rejected had never crossed his mind,

"You have a boyfriend? Then how could he rest easy letting you suffer in such a damn place like this?"

Upon hearing his words, Bai Lu lost any desire to converse further.

Normally, when they sat together, they mostly discussed professional matters and had not noticed such differing worldviews between them,

As the saying goes, a conversation not to one’s taste is a waste of words. Bai Lu felt she was not on the same wavelength as him, so she just smiled back, choosing not to respond.

The talented young man thought perhaps Bai Lu was having trouble in her love life, so he added, "If it were me, I would put my girlfriend’s physical safety first, no matter what. I definitely wouldn’t let her go to such a dangerous place."

Bai Lu immediately found him annoying. Could he not understand what she was saying, or was he just oblivious to her expressions?

"So by your logic, if I agreed to be with you, would I have to hurry up, pack my bags, and go home?"

The talented young man actually nodded seriously,

Bai Lu almost choked with irritation and felt relieved that she wasn’t colleagues or friends with this man, otherwise, they’d be arguing every time they met.

She shook her head with a smile, unable to resist teasing him,

"That’s a shame. Being your girlfriend sounds too noble for me, I couldn’t possibly live up to that!"

The young man might have been skilled in his profession, but other aspects, like emotional intelligence or observation skills, seemed average at best. Bai Lu’s words and tone should have been a clear indicaiton, but he, quite earnestly, looked at Bai Lu and asked, "Then would you consider breaking up with your boyfriend and being with me?"

Be with you in my dreams!

Bai Lu screamed inwardly but her face bore a genuinely warm smile,

After all, encountering such a unique individual was rare,

And with so few entertainment options here, with the signal being hit or miss, having a fool to tease and ease one’s stress wasn’t a bad thing.

"Sorry, my boyfriend is a military man, straightforward and impulsive. I wouldn’t dare provoke him!"

While saying this, Bai Lu found herself increasingly missing Yan Xu.
