Love So Sweet

Bai Qi laughed as he looked at his girlfriend.

The girl took a few steps away from him to speak to her aunt. However, Bai Qi quickly hugged her from behind and placed his chin on her shoulder. He really liked hugging his girlfriend like this.

He did not know what kind of shampoo his girlfriend was using, but he liked the smell of her hair.

“Li Xue? What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer?” Zhang Yu Ying spoke as soon as she heard her niece’s voice.

Zhang Li Xue shot another look at Bai Qi. “No. It was too noisy. I didn’t hear the phone.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu Ying was finally at ease. “So, that was why. I was worried that something might happen to you.”

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips into a thin line as someone was nudging his nose on her neck, making her feel a little ticklish. She hit his hand a few times to warn him to stop messing around.

Fortunately, there were not a lot of people around this beach area. Otherwise, Zhang Li Xue would surely be embarrassed by people watching them.

.....

“Where are you?” Zhang Yu Ying asked.

“Mmm... I showed Bai Qi the seafood restaurant you and my uncle went to yesterday. And today, Bai Qi took me to the beach to have dinner later.”

“Hey, that boy is quite attentive.” Zhang Yu Ying heaved a sigh. She was just happy that her niece had met someone who was willing to spoil her.

Zhang Li Xue lowered her head shyly.

Fortunately, she was holding her phone on the other side and Bai Qi was unable to listen to her aunt’s words.

“Aunt, why are you looking for me?”

Zhang Yu Ying finally recalled that she was looking for her niece for an important matter. “That’s right. I almost forgot. Your uncle’s friend called a few minutes ago. He said that the documents has been processed. Tomorrow, Bai Qi can go back and look at the documents.”

The smile on her face gradually faded and her expression turned serious. “Aunt, have you looked at it?”

“I haven’t. It’s a bit late to meet your uncle’s friend today. He told us to meet him tomorrow,” Zhang Yu Ying said. “Li Xue, you help me to relay this message to Bai Qi, alright?”

The aunt and niece spoke briefly before they ended the call.

Zhang Li Xue held her phone tightly and pursed her lips as she thought about her conversation with her aunt.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Qi took a step back. Then, he made Zhang Li Xue turn and stared at her.

Although he was not listening to Zhang Li Xue’s conversation with her aunt, he could still detect the change of tone in his girlfriend’s tone.

Zhang Li Xue stared at the man in front of her deeply. “My aunt told me that the documents they submitted yesterday have been processed. Tomorrow, we can go to the lawyer’s office again and look at some documents.”

It did not take Bai Qi a long time to figure out what was his girlfriend talking about. “So fast?”

Yesterday, the lawyer told him that it would take them two working days for the documents to be processed. Therefore, Bai Qi did not expect that he will be able to figure out what happened to his father by tomorrow.

“Un... That lawyer had a few friends in the department,” Zhang Li Xue said. “They helped him to process the documents faster.”

Bai Qi pursed his lips as he thought of Wei Jun Hao’s friend he met yesterday.

Seeing that his boyfriend was spacing out, Zhang Li Xue wrapped her arms around his waist. “What are you thinking about?”

Bai Qi lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “I’m thinking of how fortunate I am to have you as my girlfriend.”

Zhang Li Xue’s face turned redder. She hit his chest playfully and laughed. “Why are you saying this all of the sudden? Don’t joke around.”

Bai Qi chuckled. “It’s true.” He touched the tip of her nose. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t know that something was wrong with my father’s case years ago. The whole process would be a lot harder without your uncle’s help.”

Zhang Li Xue stared at her boyfriend intently, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.

“I am thinking...” Bai Qi trailed off. “That back then, I did not look into my father’s problem and know nothing about it. It was good to find out what happened back then sooner.”

“Are you worried?” Zhang Li Xue placed her hands on his arms and rubbed them softly.

Bai Qi thought about her question and decided to tell her the truth. “I am,” he admitted. “I’m a little afraid that everything was just as how the news had reported years ago. I’m afraid that I will be disappointed with what we will find out tomorrow.”

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhang Li Xue hugged him a little tightly. “Whatever it is, Xi Xi and I will always be with you, supporting you.”

Bai Qi smiled.

The most important thing was to have his little fairy by his side. He thought that he would be a little braver with her around.

Finding out what really happened to his father back then would help him to understand his father’s situation. As his father’s son, of course, Bai Qi hoped to preserve his father’s image in his heart.

He was worried about meeting the lawyer tomorrow. Therefore, he was really grateful for Zhang Li Xue’s support.

“Alright. Let’s not think about this now.” Zhang Li Xue stood on tiptoe and pecked his lips. “We will think of it after you see that lawyer again tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Bai Qi naturally did not have any rejection. How can he not understand his girlfriend’s good intentions and let him worry less?
