Love So Sweet

492 Will You Help Us?

When Bai Qi arrived in the hotel lobby, Zhang Yi Hai stood up quietly and greeted, “Brother-in-law.” He touched the tip of his nose and felt embarrassed as he recalled what happened earlier that day.

Bai Qi nodded to greet the younger man. He stretched his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder. “Let’s talk in the lounge?”

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. He watched as Bai Qi turned around and headed to the hotel’s lounge on the fifth floor.

After getting to know Zhang Li Xue for a while, Bai Qi already learned that the family did not drink alcohol that much because of her mother’s family. Therefore, the two men sat in the hotel’s lounge and ordered some lemonade.

On the stage, a woman in a black, glittery dress was singing jazz.

Their drinks arrived and the two men stared at the drinks without saying anything.

After a long hesitation, Zhang Yi Hai turned to Bai Qi and spoke, “How is my sister?”

“Before I headed out, your sister has already fallen asleep.”

“My sister... is she still angry?”

.....

Bai Qi recalled his wife’s words earlier and smiled. “Your sister said, she is not angry. She only needed some time to calm down. She will be alright after a while.”

Of course, Zhang Yi Hai did not believe Bai Qi’s words. He had seen his sister’s reaction earlier. As someone who grew up with his sister, how can he not know whether his sister was angry or not?

“Then, how is Fang Su Jin?”

Zhang Yi Hai paused when he recalled his girlfriend. When he left the hotel room earlier, Fang Su Jin was not in a good mood.

At this time, Zhang Yi Hai was afraid that if he did not resolve this matter sooner and let his sister and his girlfriend reconcile, perhaps he might have to return to Capital City as a single man.

Zhang Yi Hai was aware that Fang Su Jin and his sister has been friends for years. His sister was an important person to Fang Su Jin.

Now that she had made his sister upset, Fang Su Jin would feel guilty all her life.

Bai Qi sighed when Zhang Yi Hai did not answer his question. He could already guess that Fang Su Jin’s situation was almost the same as his wife’s.

“How long have you been dating?” Bai Qi asked after a long silence between them.

“It hasn’t been too long. We have been together for almost two months.” Zhang Yi Hai took a sip from his lemonade. “Brother-in-law, it’s not that We want to keep this secret for a long time. But you know that I am still studying. Su Jin was afraid that our relationship might disturb my study. Therefore, we didn’t want to tell anyone about it first.”

“Are you saying that you planned to tell everyone after you graduate?”

“We planned to tell my sister after I complete my study.”

“That’s a few months left.”

“Brother-in-law, you know that I am a few years younger than Su Jin,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “In the beginning, our age differences made her hesitate to date me. “Su Jin... She was afraid of what others would say about us. She was especially worried about what the elders would say when they heard about our relationship. Therefore, the two of us have been careful.”

Bai Qi thought that he could understand Zhang Yi Hai’s worry a little bit.

In the beginning, he did not dare to pursue his wife because of their difference in status. In the end, Zhang Li Xue was the person who initiate most things in their relationship.

He then realized that the Zhang family was easy to get along with.

“Your family would not mind this, you know.”

“I know this.” He was not worried about what his family was going to say, but Fang Su Jin was not at ease. Zhang Yi Hai did not want to say anything because he needed to respect Fang Su Jin’s opinion as well.

Since she wanted him to wait, then he will wait.

Zhang Yi Hai licked his lips before he looked at Bai Qi again. “Brother-in-law, will you help us?”

“Of course.” Bai Qi nodded. He would not say no if the couple wanted to reconcile with his wife.

Anyway, Bai Qi was could not let his wife and Fang Su Jin continue to not speak to each other for a long time. In the end, the person who would feel terrible about it would be his wife.

Bai Qi did not want to see his wife in a bad mood for too long.

If Zhang Li Xue did not care for Fang Su Jin, she would not feel hurt to learn that her best friend was keeping such a secret from her.

“How about this,” Bai Qi spoke again. “If the two of you are not busy, then you should come over to our room for breakfast.”

Zhang Yi Hai hesitated. “What if my sister became unhappy when she see us?”

“She won’t.” Bai Qi flashed a smile. “You don’t have to worry. I will talk to her.”

...

When Zhang Li Xue woke up in the morning, she found that her husband was no longer in bed. Instead, Bai Xi Xi was sitting beside her while reading a book.

Noticing her movement, Bai Xi Xi looked up. Their gazes met and the little girl smiled brightly. “Sister, you’re awake.”

“Mmm... Xi Xi, good morning.”

The little girl had a sheepish smile on her face. “Good morning.”

“Why are you here? Where is your brother?”

“My brother wanted me to wait for you to wake up,” Bai Xi Xi said. “He’s in the kitchen, preparing some breakfast.”

Zhang Li Xue pushed her body up to sit. “Why is he cooking? We could call the room service and order some food.”

Bai Xi Xi pursed her lips as she pondered over this question. “I don’t know.” She slid down from the bed and walked over to the door. “Sister, since you’re awake, I will call my brother now.”

Without waiting for her reply, Bai Xi Xi had already flown from the room.

A few seconds later, Bai Qi appeared at the door. He walked over to his wife and kissed her on her forehead. “Good morning.”

“Xi Xi said you’re making breakfast?”

“Mmm... I was worried that you might not have an appetite,” Bai Qi said. He looked at his wife and was relieved to see that she was in a better mood after a long sleep. “Didn’t you say that you liked the food I cooked for you the most?”

A warm feeling filled her heart, knowing that her husband was worried about her.

“Come on.” Bai Qi leaned over to carry his wife. “Let’s go and wash up first. Then, we can have our breakfast together.”

Zhang Li Xue stayed obediently in her husband’s embrace as he helped her to wash up and changed her clothes. The two of them came out a few minutes later.

The doorbell rang just as Bai Qi was carrying his wife to the dining area.
