Love So Sweet

“Mmm... It will be the company’s anniversary soon. Everyone is busy preparing for it,” Zhang Li Xue said. She flashed him a smile and continued. “When the time comes, you have to come to the celebration banquet.”

Bai Qi pondered over her words.

He knew that the company’s anniversary banquet would be attended by many of their business partners and friends. There will be a lot of people from the upper society as well.

In the past, he had attended such events with his parents. But after his family went bankrupt, he was no longer invited to such events.

He was now a doctor with no impressive background or supporters. Dating Zhang Li Xue and having her family’s approval was already a blessing for him.

However, Bai Qi was worried about whether it would be suitable for him to attend such events. There will be a lot of rich and powerful people around. He did not want to embarrass his girlfriend or her family.

He might have some money now, but his status could not compare to those who attended the Zhang Group’s banquet.

A faint smile curled on his lips. Bai Qi did not let his worry show on his face.

.....

Fortunately, they arrived at her car and Zhang Li Xue did not notice anything.

“Are you hungry?” Bai Qi asked as he slid into the driver’s seat. “Should we go shop first, or do you want to eat?”

“Let’s just go and shop first,” Zhang Li Xue said. “And then, we can go and eat something to celebrate.”

Bai Qi stretched his hand to touch the tip of her nose. “Alright.” He then placed his hands on the steering wheel and drove away from the hotel building.

After driving for a while, they finally reached the car dealership.

Zhang Li Xue unbuckled the seatbelt and looked at her boyfriend. “Have you decided which one you wanted to buy?”

“I have a few models in mind. But, I still want to look at them first,” Bai Qi said. He went over to the passenger’s side and helped his girlfriend with the door. “Of course, the most important thing is that I wanted your opinion as well.”

Zhang Li Xue giggled. “As long as you and Xi Xi like it, then, I don’t have much opinion.”

Bai Qi held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “In the future, I will be using this car to pick up my girlfriend from work. Of course, your opinion matters.”

The smile on her face widened. Doctor Bai’s words made her heart feel as if they were soaked in honey.

Holding hands, the two of them walked into the car dealership together.

A salesman quickly greeted them and asked for their preferences.

Zhang Li Xue sat by Bai Qi’s side as the salesman introduced them to a few models. As they were looking around, Zhang Li Xue was quick to notice that Bai Qi was attracted to an SUV model.

The salesman followed the couple around and finally spoke again, “Mister, you have good taste. This model is also quite popular as well. Its safety feature is among the best.”

Zhang Li Xue peeked into the SUV to look around. Then, she looked at Bai Qi and spoke, “This model is quite good. I think it’s very kid’s friendly.”

“Madam, you are right,” the salesman chirped in. “This model is very suitable if you have a baby or a child. It is very suitable for family.”

The salesman’s words made her pause. Why does it feel as if there was something strange with the salesman’s words?

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Qi and saw the hint of a smile on his face.

Her cheek turned slightly red and Zhang Li Xue looked away shyly.

She was only thinking of Xi Xi, but the salesman would misunderstand her words and think that they were a couple shopping for a car for their family.

Of course, seeing the couple together and hearing that they were looking for a car that would be kid’s friendly would make the salesman think that they were a couple wanting to start a family.

Zhang Li Xue decided not to speak again and only responded when Bai Qi spoke to her.

After a long hesitation, Bai Qi finally decided to choose the SUV and signed a few documents with the salesman.

As they came out of the building again, Bai Qi heaved a long sigh as he thought about the amount of money that he had spent to buy that SUV. He made a mental note to start saving his money after this.

He took a deep breath and finally looked at his girlfriend again with a smile. “Should we go somewhere and celebrate now? Where do you want to go?”

Zhang Li Xue pondered over his words before answering. “Let’s go and have dinner at the apartment.” A tinkle of laughter escaped her when she saw him raising his brow at her. “I suddenly crave to eat your chicken wings.”

Bai Qi laughed. “Does my cooking taste really good?”

“Un. Other than my great-grandpa’s chicken wings, yours tasted the best,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “I thought about it. In this life, you can only make chicken wings for me.”

“Then, what about Xi Xi?”

Her lips pursed into a thin line. “Then, you can only make chicken wings for me and Xi Xi. You can’t make them for another woman.”

Bai Qi leaned over to kiss her cheek. He looked at her again and joked, “My girlfriend is too domineering.”

Zhang Li Xue raised her head higher and her lips turned into a playful smile. She stretched her hand to grab the front of his shirt. “That’s right. Doctor Bai, you are only allowed to pamper me.”

Bai Qi laughed. He cupped her cheeks with his hands, thinking that his little fairy was too adorable. “Then, I’ll listen to you. Li Xue, I will only pamper you. It will always be you.”
