Love So Sweet

As they were about to leave the restaurant, Bai Qi went to the counter and took a bouquet of roses from one of the waiters. He walked over to his girlfriend and flashed her a pitiful look on his face.

Zhang Li Xue stared at the bouquet in shock. “Is this for me?”

“Un.” Bai Qi nodded. “Li Xue, I’m sorry.”

A while ago, he texted He Rong and asked how he should coax his angry girlfriend. His friend suggested he start by giving her some flowers or any sweet gift.

If that does not work, he has to prepare to kneel on a durian while begging for her forgiveness. Just the thought of it made him anxious, but Bai Qi was willing to do it for his girlfriend.

Bai Qi recalled that he had never given his girlfriend any flowers before. The two of them had dated for a while and he had not surprised her with a gift.

He bought some flowers online and asked to be delivered to the restaurant.

Bai Qi waited for his girlfriend’s reaction anxiously.

.....

Seeing a sweet smile curled on her lips as she took the flower from him made him feel more at ease.

“Thank you.” Zhang Li Xue sniffed the flowers and her cheek turned pink.

At the side, Zhang Yi Hai clicked his tongue as he was watching this scene.

His sister was no longer angry, but a certain someone was showing off by giving his sister a bouquet. He could also make his sister happy by giving her some flowers...

Zhang Yi Hai was regretting that he had not thought of this idea first.

Afterward, the three of them returned to the car and Zhang Li Xue did not forget to send her boyfriend back to his apartment first.

On their way back to their house, Zhang Yi Hai could not help but look at his sister a few times. Seeing his sister smiling sheepishly at the flowers made him a bit unhappy.

As the car stopped at the red lights, Zhang Li Xue finally heaved a long sigh and turned to her brother. “Alright. What is it that you wanted to say?”

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips. After a brief hesitation, he finally spoke, “Sister, do you really like this man?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “I like him. Yi Hai, I don’t know what you think of Bai Qi. But for me, he is simply the best. Being with him makes me very happy.”

“His condition did not seem very good, right?” Zhang Yi Hai recalled the apartment building where Bai Qi was living in.

“I did not date him because of his condition,” Zhang Li Xue said. “If it’s about money, then I have them on my own. I don’t need him to spend his money on me. Bai Qi’s condition might not seem that good, but he’s working really hard to improve his situation.”

“I’m just worried that you might get tricked by some bad person.”

Zhang Li Xue sighed. She knew that her brother was only worried about her.

Because of their family’s wealth and status, there has been a few people who wanted to get close to them. Zhang Yi Hai was probably worried that Bai Qi was taking advantage of her.

“You can trust that Bai Qi had a good personality and morals. Otherwise, Uncle Qi Zheng would never take him as his student, right?”

Zhang Yi Hai had to admit that what his sister said was the truth.

“Then, did Uncle Qi Zheng know about this?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded slowly. “Un. He knows about it.”

“No way.” Zhang Yi Hai looked at his sister in shock. He had thought that his sister would surely keep her relationship underground. He would never think that their Uncle Qi Zheng already know about this.

Of course, Zhang Yi Hai was still unaware that her uncles and aunts already know about this relationship and had taken their turn to interrogate Bai Qi during their basketball match.

The red lights turned to green, and the vehicle behind them blow the horn. Zhang Yi Hai continued to drive before turning to his sister again.

“Uncle Qi Zheng accidentally found out about it when I was visiting the hospital,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Yi Hai, you are my brother. I hope that you can give me your support and blessing on this matter. I dated Bai Qi because I like him. If this was a mistake, then, I’m willing to make this mistake and learn from it.”

Zhang Yi Hai did not say anything for a while. This was the first time that his sister had said something like this. Zhang Yi Hai knew that his sister was really serious about Bai Qi.

It’s not that he did not want his sister to be happy... But he may need a while to process this matter.

“Then, what about our dad? Does he know?”

“He... doesn’t know about it yet.” Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath and spoke, “I’m planning to tell him about this soon. Yi Hai, how do you think he’s going to react?”

“He definitely not going to like it,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Brother Bai will have to suffer.”

“I’m planning to introduce Bai Qi to dad after great-grandpa’s death anniversary,” Zhang Li Xue said. “With our grandparents around, dad would not dare to bully my boyfriend that much, right?”

Zhang Yi Hai thought that this plan was quite good.

While he and his father had often driven away men from getting too close to his sister, his grandparents were mostly worried that his sister was still single.

If their grandparents knew that his sister was dating someone, they would definitely support her. Then, their father would be unable to say anything about it.

After a few minutes, the car finally pulled over in front of their house.

Zhang Li Xue turned to her brother and spoke, “Yi Hai, I hope that you can help me to keep this secret for a while. When the time comes, I wanted to tell our father myself.”

Zhang Yi Hai pondered for a while before nodding. “Un. I know.”
