Love So Sweet

502 I Might Get a Heart Attack

Just as Zhang Yi Hai ended his phone call with his sister, Bai Xi Xi came out of the restroom and tilted her head to look at him. “Bother, I’m done.”

The young man looked at the little girl beside him and thought about the group of people who would be waiting for them. After giving it a thought, Zhang Yi Hai crouched beside Bai Xi Xi to get to her level and stared at her for a long time.

“Brother? What’s wrong?” She observed Zhang Yi Hai’s expression and thought that it was a little strange. “Is there something you wanted to say to me?”

Zhang Yi Hai pursed her lips as he tried to think of what he should say to the little girl. “Xi Xi, can you help me and sister Si Jin?”

Bai Xi Xi nodded without hesitation.

He lowered his gaze, wondering if it would be appropriate to explain some things to the little girl. “Do you know about me and Sister Su Jin?”

Bai Xi Xi nodded again. “Un. You are dating, right? My sister told me this yesterday.”

Zhang Yi Hai heaved in relief, knowing that he did not have to explain a certain matter to the little girl. “Well then, can you help m and Sister Su Jin to keep this secret from the aunt and uncle outside?”

“You mean Sister Su Jin’s parents?”

.....

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Un.”

“Why?”

Zhang Yi Hai was in trouble explaining certain things. “Um... It’s not the right time to let them know that we are dating. Sister Su Jin and I are planning to tell them this surprise them in the future.”

“Alright then.” Bai Xi Xi heard that they wanted to make it a surprise and decided to help them. “Brother Yi Hai, I won’t tell them. I will help you to keep this surprise.”

He stretched his hand to touch the little girl’s head. “Good Xi Xi. Then, brother will buy you some ice cream on our way back.” This should be enough to bribe Xi Xi, right?

Once this matter was resolved, Zhang Yi Hai returned to the hall again with Bai Xi Xi by his side.

When he arrived, the Fang couple was having a conversation with Teacher Jiang. He met Fang Su Jin’s gaze and blinked, telling her that everything will be alright.

Fang Su Jin was still a little doubtful that she was going to survive this day with her parents by her side. After all, on this trip to F Country, the secret that she wanted to keep with Zhang Yi Hai has become known to several people.

Teacher Jiang and even Zhang Li Xue found out about her dating Zhang Yi Hai.

Fang Su Jin shifted her gaze to her mentor and heaved a sigh.

Fortunately, she had reminded her mentor earlier to keep this secret from her parents. This time, Teacher Jiang was playing along with her, and Fang Su Jin was grateful for it.

Father Fang was still talking to Teacher Jiang to hear about the public response towards her daughter’s paintings when he saw Zhang Yi Hai returning with the little girl.

He waved his hand and spoke, “Yi Hai, come over.”

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at the little girl beside him before he walked over to Father Fang. “Uncle.”

“We were making plans to have lunch together to congratulate Su Jin for her successful exhibition,” Father Fang spoke. The look on his face showed just how proud he was of his daughter. “Moreover, I heard that she received a collaboration offer with a company. Yi Hai, why don’t you come over and join us as well?”

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at his girlfriend, who was staring at him anxiously.

“This... Uncle, maybe I shouldn’t be disturbing your family reunion. After all, it was not easy for you to come to F Country for Sister Fang.”

Fang Su Jin listened to his words and heaved a breath of relief. She was afraid that Zhang Yi Hai would join them for this meal. Knowing herself, Fang Su Jin was not confident that she would be able to be calm in front of her parents with Zhang Yi Hai around.

“What family reunion? Zhang Yi Hai, you and your sister often come to my house. Your parents and I have known each other for a long time. We already considered you as our family.”

Fang Su Jin stared at her father in disbelief.

Then, she recalled the good treatment that Zhang Yi Hai would receive each time the young man visited her house.

Indeed. Her parents had already considered Zhang Yi Hai as their family. Their treatment of him was better! Her father would spend a long time, chatting with Zhang Yi Hai about a lot of things.

“Everyone is here together. Let’s just have a meal together. It will be my treat.” Father Fang spoke. “That’s right. You have to ask your sister and her husband to come together as well.”

“Then, I will have to check this matter with my sister first.”

Father Fang smiled in satisfaction.

Just in time, the manager of the exhibition center came out to see Teacher Jiang. Teacher Jiang took this opportunity to introduce the Fang couple to the manager and the manager invited them for a tour around the exhibition center.

The hall turned quiet again with the Fang couple leaving to enter the next hall.

Fang Su Jin walked over to her boyfriend and looked at him anxiously. She opened her mouth to speak, but Zhang Yi Hai beat her into it.

“Are you anxious?”

Fang Su Jin pouted. “Of course, I’m anxious. You don’t know how scary it is, to think that my parents would know about us. I haven’t prepared myself to let them know about this.” She heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Why is everyone coming to this exhibition, wanting to surprise me? Zhang Yi Hai, if receive another surprise, I might get a heart attack.”

Zhang Yi Hai looked at his adorable girlfriend with a pampering gaze. “Su Jin, it will be alright.” He flashed her an assuring smile. “I already talked to my sister. She will arrive soon and had agreed to help us keep this secret from your parents.”
