Chapter 233
233 It was Too Early
Mo Qing Huan looked at the two people in front of her alternately. Then, her gaze fell on their intertwining hands.
Their conversation in Zhang Li Xue’s room appeared in her mind. Then, Mo Qing Huan began to understand everything.
“You... The two of you are together?”
Zhang Li Xue laughed. “Didn’t I tell you that I will introduce my boyfriend to you? Huan Huan, I think you have met him before. This is Bai Qi.”
Mo Qing Huan stared at her friend in shock.
Meanwhile, He Rong was calmer. He looked at the two people in front of him and invited them to sit down.
While Mo Qing Huan was still processing her thoughts, the waiter walked in to deliver their dishes.
Mo Qing Huan’s gaze fell on the plates of chicken wings and recalled that Bai Qi had added this dish. It did not take her too long to guess that he had ordered this dish for Li Xue.
“How did the two of you get together?” He Rong asked. He seemed to recall something and continued, “It can’t be that you both hit it off after meeting at our wedding.”
.....
He still remembered that Bai Qi had helped Zhang Li Xue after she sprained her ankle.
Bai Qi exchanged a glance with his girlfriend. “Actually, this is a long story.”
“It’s alright. We have all night to listen to your story.”
Bai Qi told the couple how they met during their childhood and were separated when his family moved to S Country.
Both Mo Qing Huan and He Rong had not expected that the two of them had met a long time ago.
Bai Qi had thought that he would never see Zhang Li Xue again. Who knows that he would meet her again in Y City?
After the story ended, Mo Qing Huan dragged her friend to another side with a lot of questions. Zhang Li Xue had no other choice but to answer her question one by one.
At the end of it, Mo Qing Huan still thought that this story was a little unbelievable. The basketball-crazy Zhang Li Xue actually had a fan since she was very young!
Mo Qing Huan took a sip from her drink and remembered another thing. Suddenly, her lips curled up into a teasing smile. “That’s right. Li Xue, I remember that you caught my bouquet. Does it mean that it won’t be a long time for you to tie the knot?”
Zhang Li Xue’s face flushed. She glanced at Bai Qi and was glad to see that he was still in a deep discussion with He Rong.
“Don’t talk nonsense. It hasn’t been a long time since we both started dating. It’s too early to think about that.”
Mo Qing Huan laughed. It was a rare chance for her to tease her friend and she was not going to stop anytime soon.
“Why not?” Mo Qing Huan leaned over and wriggled her brows. “Didn’t your parents also get married not too long after they started to date?”
Her face turned into a deeper shade of red. Zhang Li Xue had never thought about marriage yet. At this time, she just wanted to date Bai Qi a little longer.
“It’s not going to be easy.” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh. “My dad won’t make it easier.”
“That’s true.” Mo Qing Huan nodded.
She then recalled that Zhang Li Xue had once said that the person she date should be good enough at basketball to defeat her father in a match.
“How are Bai Qi’s skills in basketball?”
“He’s very good.” Zhang Li Xue shot a puzzled look.
“As long as he can defeat your dad in a match, it should be alright.”
Zhang Li Xue pondered about this for a while. She did not think that things would be this easy.
A few seconds later, she came to realize something else.
Why was she thinking about obtaining her father’s permission to get married? It was too early to think about this, right?
“Otherwise, you can also think about eloping.” Mo Qing Huan flashed her a teasing smile.
Zhang Li Xue thought Mo Qing Huan had turned bad after marrying He Rong.
...
The couples parted after a long dinner.
Zhang Li Xue watched as her friends left their vehicles and turned to look at the tall man beside her.
While she was chatting with Mo Qing Huan earlier, she had overheard Bai Qi’s discussion with He Rong. Although she did not understand much about it, she overheard them talking about some investment.
Looking at Bai Qi’s expression at this time, it seemed that he was in a good mood.
Zhang Li Xue reached for his hand and gave them a gentle squeeze. “What did you and He Rong talk about? You seemed to be in a very good mood.”
The smile on his face widened, making his eyes turn crescent. Bai Qi leaned over and kissed her lips for a few times before he finally let go.
Being kissed in front of the restaurant made her embarrassed. Her gaze swept around her surroundings, wondering if someone had seen them.
Zhang Li Xue quickly shot her boyfriend a warning look.
“Let’s talk in the car,” Bai Qi said. “I have some good news.”
Seeing that someone was in a good mood, Zhang Li Xue decided not to get angry for a long time.
Holding hands, they walked together to her vehicle and left the area.
...
Meanwhile, a figure walked out of the restaurant just as the couple had left.
Mu Zhen Yu stood at the entrance while looking in the direction where the couple had left with a deep frown on his face.
Although he did not get a clear look at the couple’s faces, Mu Zhen Yu was confident that the girl was Zhang Li Xue.
Last time, she told him that she was dating someone. Deep in his heart, he had hoped that Zhang Li Xue was lying to him. However, he did not expect that he would run into her here.
He had even witnessed them kissing.
The thought made him feel really bad and his heart was aching.
But... who was that guy beside her?
“President Mu? Are you alright?”
The voice snapped him out of his trance.
Mu Zhen Yu turned around and saw that Ye Qing was standing beside him with a smile on her face.
“I’m fine. I just thought that I saw someone familiar.” Mu Zhen Yu smiled.
Ye Qing turned to look in the direction where he had looked earlier. However, she could not see anything. Then, she looked at Mu Zhen Yu again and flashed him a smile. “President Mu, it’s getting late. Do you mind giving me a lift?”
Mu Zhen Yu hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he agreed.
