Love So Sweet

234 Generous Owner

In the vehicle, Bai Qi told Zhang Li Xue about the investment he made while he was in S Country. Although he saw that this project had potential, he did not expect that he would get a lot in return.

Seeing how happy he was made her happy as well.

“So this was why you are looking for a new apartment,” Zhang Li Xue said.

Bai Qi nodded. Now that he had some money, he could afford to stay in a new and safer place with his sister.

Zhang Li Xue thought of her apartment.

Initially, she had planned to tell Bai Qi about this place. But after meeting Mu Zhen Yu that day, and later, her Uncle Qi Zheng caught her in Bai Qi’s office, Zhang Li Xue had forgotten all about it.

She looked at the time and thought that it would not be too late to look at the place. “Bai Qi, do you still have time?”

“What do you want to do?”

“There’s a place I want to take you to.”

.....

“Alright.” Bai Qi naturally would not reject her.

Zhang Li Xue turned the car and headed to the west side of the city.

As they alighted from the vehicle, Bai Qi shot an inquiring look at his girlfriend. This was a newly developed area and he was puzzled when she brought him here. However, Zhang Li Xue was not planning to tell him anything.

Bai Qi had no choice but to follow her around.

The two took the elevator to head up. Once she arrived at her unit, Zhang Li Xue put on her passcode number and entered it.

The light was switched on the minute they stepped into the place.

Zhang Li Xue walked towards the ceiling-to-floor window where they could see the night view of the city. Then, she turned to Bai Qi and smiled. “What do you think of this place?”

Bai Qi raised a brow, waiting for her to explain.

“This place is a little bit farther than the other apartments we found, but the amenities and surrounding is quite good, isn’t it?” Zhang Li Xue walked over to his side and hold his hand. “Come on. Let me take you around.”

Zhang Li Xue took him around the house. From the master bedroom to the kitchen. The way she spoke was almost similar to the way the property agents would speak as they were trying to sell the property.

Bai Qi stayed silent as he continued to listen to her.

He had to admit that this place would be suitable for him and Xi Xi to live in. The place was close to her school and the security seemed a little more reliable than the apartments that he had visited previously.

Moreover, according to Zhang Li Xue, the owner was prepared to furnish the house with essential furniture and appliances. He did not have to worry about anything. All he will have to do is pack his bag and move in.

After going through the place, they finally returned to the living room again.

“You don’t have to worry about the rent,” Zhang Li Xue said. “It’s definitely within your budget. If you think that this place is suitable, you can bring Xi Xi to look at this place and see if she likes it.”

Looking at his girlfriend’s anticipated look made him a little helpless.

Bai Qi sneaked his arms around Zhang Li Xue’s waist, pulling her closer to him. The light from the city night view illuminated the girl’s face, making her appear very soft.

“A new apartment like this is within my budget?” A teasing smile curled on his lips. “How is that possible?”

His penetrating gaze suddenly made her feel a little anxious. Zhang Li Xue quickly lowered her gaze and spoke, “Well, the owner is pretty generous.”

Bai Qi lowered his head so that he would meet her gaze. “And, who is the generous owner? Why do I feel that I should know this person?”

Zhang Li Xue thought that this was the time for her to tell him the truth. “Well, this apartment is mine. Since no one is staying here, I thought you and Xi Xi could stay here. At least, there would be someone to look after this place.”

His gaze turned softer as he looked at her. A few seconds later, Zhang Li Xue was in his embrace.

It wasn’t as if he did not understand her intention.

A fully furnished house within his budget. It has everything that he wanted, except that it was slightly farther from the hospital as compared to the apartment where he was living now.

Zhang Li Xue understood that he was worried about his finances and was willing to help lighten up his burden. Even though he might have another source of income now, Bai Qi had learned that he will need to save.

No one could predict the future and he did not want Xi Xi to go through what he had once gone through.

“Zhang Li Xue...” His breath was tickling her ear. “Why are you so nice to me?”

Zhang Li Xue was stunned when she heard this question. Then, a few seconds later, she burst into laughter.

It seemed that it has not been too long ago that she had heard this question.

Her lips turned up into a smile. Zhang Li Xue wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed him to gaze into her eyes. “Why are you asking me this question? Of course, it’s because I like you.”

Bai Qi chuckled.

The two of them were reminded of what happened at the hospital’s parking lot not too long ago. However, this time, a certain someone will no longer try to escape him after giving him a shocking confession.

Bai Qi’s heart felt hot as if it was burning. He thought that he had loved her a lot. However, each day, Zhang Li Xue would give him a new reason to love her.

He loved her so much that he did not know how to explain what he felt with words.

Then, Bai Qi leaned over and captured Zhang Li Xue’s lips in a gentle kiss. His lips were softly massaging against hers. Her response encouraged him to hold her tighter and kiss her a little fiercer.

His throat bobbed as her scent filled his nose.

Sensing that Zhang Li Xue had turned breathless, Bai Qi quickly pulled away. His forehead rested against hers as they both took time to calm down.

When he opened his eyes again, Bai Qi found that he was lost in her eyes.

“Bai Qi.” Her voice was a whisper.

“Hmm?”

“I love you.”
