Love So Sweet

555 You Don’t Trust Yi Hai?

Fang Su Jin came out of the kitchen only to find that Zhang Yi Hai was not in the living room. She swept her gaze around the room and frowned when she could not see anyone. Then, she realized that her father was not around as well.

Fang Su Jin tried to remain calm and hoped that she would spot both her boyfriend and her father soon. However, as seconds passed by, Fang Su Jin started to panic when she could not find them both around.

She raised her head and looked at her father’s study on the second floor and frowned upon noticing that the door was tightly closed.

Her instinct was telling her that her father and Zhang Yi Hai were inside the room.

But this was only making her worry.

Fang Su Jin recalled the way her father has been looking at Zhang Yi Hai earlier. Her father did not seem too happy with him. Fang Su Jin was mostly worried that her father was going to say something that would make Zhang Yi Hai upset.

What if her father rejected Zhang Yi Hai? She already liked him so much. Then, what was she supposed to do?

As the thought came to her mind, Fang Su Jin began to pace around the hall. She thought about going to her father’s study, but worry that her action would only make her father angry and dislike Zhang Yi Hai more.

“Su Jin, what are you doing, pacing around back and forth? I’m getting dizzy just by watching you,” Mother Fang spoke as she carried out a tray of snacks into the living room.

.....

She looked around and finally notice that Zhang Yi Hai was not around. “Hmm? Where is Yi Hai?”

“Mom.” Fang Su Jin went to her mother’s side and held her arms. “I think dad took Yi Hai away into his study.”

Mother Fang raised her head to look at her husband’s study. She thought about her husband’s attitude throughout dinner and finally heaved a sigh.

“Just let them be.” Mother Fang said. “They will come out soon.”

Fang Su Jin was not at ease even after hearing her mother’s words. “Mom, what if Dad does something to Yi Hai?”

Mother Fang looked at her daughter, amused. “What do you think he would do? The most your dad could do is scold him a little bit.”

“Mom...” Fang Su Jin was anxious again. She could not bear to let Zhang Yi Hai suffer even for a little bit. And her father... why was he so unreasonable?

“Alright.. don’t be anxious,” Mother Fang chuckled. “The two of them were only talking.” She looked at her daughter and sighed. “If he could not convince your dad to let the two of you be together, how is he worthy to date my daughter? Are you saying that you don’t trust Yi Hai?”

Fang Su Jin thought about her mother’s words and pursed her lips.

Zhang Yi Hai was good at charming people. Of course, she trusted that her boyfriend would be able to win her father over.

However, this did not mean that she was not worried.

Her father might always seem like someone who was easy to get along with. However, Fang Su Jin knew well that sometimes, talking to her father would be difficult.

Mother Fang saw that her daughter was still anxious and decided to let her be. Anyway, her husband was not going to let Zhang Yi Hai stay in his study forever.

After a moment that felt like a lifetime, Fang Su Jin finally heard some movement from upstairs. She looked up again and watched as Zhang Yi Hai came out of her father’s study.

Fang Su Jin observed his expression for a while and finally heaved in relief when she could not detect anything strange from Zhang Yi Hai.

Then, her father came out. His expression was the same as always. The two of them walked down the stairs without saying a word, but Fang Su Jin could sense that the atmosphere between them had changed.

Fang Su Jin wanted to go over and ask, but her steps halted as she saw the way her father was looking at her.

“Yi Hai, come over. Auntie had prepared some snacks for you,” Mother Fang Spoke.

Zhang Yi Hai glanced at the pot of tea and thought about the one that he had drank in Father Fang’s study a while ago.

His stomach was a little bloated with too many drinks, but it seemed that he will have to drink more tea after this.

Mother Fang served Zhang Yi Hai the cookies that she had baked earlier. Seeing that the young man had sampled a few of them made her smile brightly. She continued to chat with Zhang Yi Hai without bringing up his conversation with her husband in his office.

Seeing that he had stayed long enough, Zhang Yi Hai finally made an excuse to leave.

Mother Fang did not forget to pack some of the cookies she made for him to take back home.

After exchanging a few words with the parents, Fang Su Jin walked Zhang Yi Hai to his car.

Father Fang was about to go along with them, to keep his eyes on his daughter. However, his wife had already pulled him to the kitchen, stopping him from peeking.

Fang Su Jin had to turn her head a few times, wanting to check if her father would appear soon. Because of that, she accidentally bumped into Zhang Yi Hai’s back.

The pain made her eyes and nose redden.

“What are you doing?” Zhang Yi Hai chuckled as she looked at his absentminded girlfriend. “Pay attention to where you are walking.” His heart was hurting upon seeing her misty eyes. Zhang Yi Hai leaned over to kiss the top of her nose. “Does it still hurt?”

Fang Su Jin shook her head .”It’s okay.” She then peeked at the door again, causing Zhang Yi Hai to chuckle. “Don’t laugh.”

The smile on his face stayed.

“What did my dad talk to you about?” She narrowed her eyes and continued, “He did not ask you to leave me, right?”

“Of course, not. Even if he asked me to leave, I will stay. How can I bear to leave you?”

Her cheek turned red upon hearing his words.

“Don’t worry. Your dad won’t stop us from dating unless of course if I bullied you.”

Fang Su Jin looked at him skeptically. However, no matter how much she inquire about what they talked about, Zhang Yi Hai would not say a word.0

“You don’t have to think about this,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “But Su Jin, you have to be prepared.”

Fang Su Jin frowned, wondering what she should be preparing for.

“This weekend, you already agreed to meet my parents.”

His words made her heartbeat run fast.
