Love So Sweet

199 Too Dangerous

On the weekend, Zhang Li Xue woke up earlier as she had already planned to spend her day with Bai Qi. As she walked into the living room, her mother raised her head and gave her a look over.

Zhang Li Xue thought that the way her mother was looking at her was a little strange and it was making her a little comfortable.

“Mommy...” Zhang Li Xue looked at her mother uneasily. “Why are you looking at me like that?” She tugged at her shirt, wondering if she had worn it upside down.

“Li Xue, you’ve been going out a lot this recently,” Li Qin Yao said. “Tell me, are you seeing someone?”

Her eyes widened in surprise. Zhang Li Xue had not expected that her mother had guessed it right.

She looked around and was finally at ease when she saw that her father was not around.

That was too dangerous!

If her father heard his mother’s words, there was a huge chance that she might not leave the house. The thought of being interrogated by her father was making her anxious.

She had only dated Bai Qi for a few days. She did not want to scare him just yet.

.....

“Mommy, what makes you think that I’m seeing someone?” Zhang Li Xue batted her eyes innocently.

Li Qin Yao glanced at her daughter’s dress-up and make-up.

This little girl has been sticking closely by her side forever. It was not hard for her to notice that her daughter has been acting a little strangely.

It was not as if she had never fallen in love before. Looking at her daughter’s face, Li Qin Yao was sure that her daughter was in love.

However, seeing that the girl did not want to say a word, Li Qin Yao decided not to push her until she was ready.

Knowing her daughter, it shouldn’t take her too long before she would spill everything to her.

“Alright. I’m only asking.” Li Qin Yao patted her daughter’s arm and laughed softly. “Why do you look so anxious?”

Zhang Li Xue heaved in relief.

However, a few seconds later, she started to feel a bit guilty. She always told her mother everything. Keeping the secret from her mother that she was dating someone was quite hard.

Zhang Li Xue was feeling conflicted about it. She was too shy to tell her mother about Bai Qi.

Zhang Li Xue watched as her mother turned around and started to busy herself with a few documents on the table. After pondering about it for a while, Zhang Li Xue hugged her mother’s arms and laid her head on her mother’s shoulder.

Li Qin Yao laughed upon seeing how her daughter was acting coquettishly with her. “What is it?”

“Mommy, you have guessed it right,” Zhang Li Xue spoke in a low tone.

“What am I right about?” Li Qin Yao decided to pretend that she did not understand anything.

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips into a thin line. She buried her face in her mother’s shoulder and whispered, “Don’t tell Daddy yet, but I am seeing someone.”

Once she had said those words, Zhang Li Xue had the urge to bury herself in the ground. She was too embarrassed to tell her mother about this.

Her eyes lit up. But Li Qin Yao had to force herself to hide her excitement. Before she could interrogate her daughter to daughter about this boy, Zhang Li Xue had spoken again.

“But Mommy, I can’t tell you anything about him yet. It’s too early,” Zhang Li Xue said. “When the time comes, I’ll introduce you to him, alright?”

Li Qin Yao let out a helpless sigh. “Is he good to you?”

Zhang Li Xue thought of the way Bai Qi had treated her and smiled shyly. “Un. He’s really good.”

Seeing the smile on her face made Li Qin Yao curious about that person. After all, previously, Zhang Li Xue had told her that she only thought of Mu Zhen Yu as an older brother. “Is he someone I know?”

“Mommy...”

“Alright. Alright. I won’t ask.” Li Qin Yao laughed. “Are you going out to see him now?”

“Un...” Zhang Li Xue tugged at her fingers, feeling slightly anxious. Then, she leaned over to hug her mother’s arms again. “Mommy, you just need to trust me. The person who caught my eyes shouldn’t be a bad person.”

“Mmm... I know that my daughter’s sight shouldn’t be too bad,” Li Qin Yao teased. Seeing her daughter’s reddened face made her laugh again. “Alright. Just don’t take too long to introduce him to me. I promise that I won’t be too hard on him. You just need to remember that I will always have your back.”

The mother and daughter talked briefly before Zhang Li Xue was finally let off.

Now that she had told her mother this big secret, Zhang Li Xue was feeling quite good about it. Her steps became lighter and the smile on her face was brighter.

According to plan, Zhang Li Xue drove over to Bai Qi’s apartment.

She pressed the doorbell and Bai Xi Xi appeared at the door.

“Pretty Sister! You’re here.”

The little girl hugged Zhang Li Xue tightly as soon as she saw her.

At the back, Bai Qi could only watch his little sister helplessly. He wanted to be the one who opened the door for his girlfriend. Unexpectedly, his little sister was faster.

Who knew that she could run fast with her short legs?

“Bai Xi Xi, good morning!” Zhang Li Xue smiled. “Are you ready to go out and practice?”

Bai Xi Xi nodded. Then, a few seconds later, she shook her head. “Almost. I just need to go and change my clothes. Then, I’ll be ready.”

Zhang Li Xue patted the girl’s head. “Then, you should go ahead and change your clothes.”

“Pretty Sister, you should come in first,” Bai Xi Xi pulled her hand and lead her inside. “I already took out your slippers.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at the flowery patterned slippers before changing into them. When she looked up again, Bai Xi Xi had already run off to her room and the brother was standing in front of her.

Seeing the smile on Bai Qi’s face made her heart race.

“Good morning.”

“Uh-huh.” Bai Qi leaned over and kissed her on the lips. “Good morning.”

Bai Qi’s attack was too sudden, leaving her speechless.

It took her a while to remember that Bai Xi Xi should be around as well. She looked around and finally breathe in relief upon finding that there was no one else around.

When she looked at Bai Qi again, there was a hint of playfulness in his smile.

Zhang Li Xue couldn’t help but thought that Doctor Bai has gone bad now that they are dating.
