Love So Sweet

297 Listen to Your Doctor

Zhang Li Xue continued to stay by her father’s side throughout the party with Bai Qi staying close to her. Seeing the tall man beside Zhang Li Xue, the elders stopped trying to introduce their son to the girl.

A few of the business partners went to Zhang Yu Han and asked about this young man’s relationship with Zhang Li Xue. However, Zhang Yu Han did not answer and merely flashed them a smile.

In Zhang Yu Han’s opinion, it was still too early for him to introduce Bai Qi. However, Li Qin Yao did not mind telling a few of them that this young man was their daughter’s boyfriend.

After introducing his daughter around, Zhang Yu Han finally let her go.

“Are you tired?” Bai Qi asked. He held her arm and walked her to a quiet corner.

“It’s not that bad.” Zhang Li Xue flashed him a smile. She looked at the high heels on her feet and pouted.

It has been a while since she had to wear high heels and stand around for a long period. Her legs were a little sore.

Bai Qi helped her to sit down and called the server to bring a glass of water for his girlfriend. His brow furrowed. Bai Qi recalled that his girlfriend has been busy following her father around the hall to meet their business partners. He did not remember if he had seen her eating anything.

“Are you hungry?” Bai Qi asked. “Should I go and grab you something from the buffet?”

.....

Zhang Li Xue shook her head. “It’s alright. I’m not really hungry.”

The frown on his face deepened. “That’s not good. Li Xue, I noticed that you haven’t eaten anything. Skipping your meal isn’t good.”

Bai Qi could still remember that this girl was hospitalized once for appendicitis. Later, he heard that her father had initially thought that she was having a gastric problem because of her habit to skip her meal.

“You need to listen to your doctor,” Bai Qi continued.

Zhang Li Xue was touched to see the concern on Bai Qi’s face. “Then, alright. I should grab something light.”

Bai Qi smiled. He stretched his hand and touched her head lightly. “Good girl.” He wanted to ruffle her soft hair but was worried that he might ruin her hair again. He then stood up straight. “Wait here. I’ll go and grab you something to eat.”

Without waiting for her to reply, Bai Qi left to the banquet table to look at the food. He took a plate and picked up a few foods that would be easy for Zhang Li Xue to eat.

In just a short time, the plate in his hand was filled with food.

Bai Qi looked at the variety of food and smiled in satisfaction.

“I’m sorry, young man, do you mind helping me?”

Noticing that someone was standing beside him, Bai Qi turned and saw that a young woman was smiling at him. His brow furrowed, but he did not speak.

The young woman smiled shyly at him. “My hands are full.” She gestured at the small purse in her hand. “Can you help carry my plate?”

Bai Qi assessed the woman in front of him. Seeing that she seemed to be in a good health, he then took a step back. “I’m sorry. But my girlfriend is waiting for me.”

The smile on the woman’s face stiffened as she watched the tall man walk away. She could only heave a long sigh. She saw a good-looking man and thought that she should take her chance. Who would have thought that this person already has a girlfriend?

Meanwhile, Zhang Li Xue was surprised to see that her boyfriend had returned so soon. “So fast?”

A gentle smile curled on his lips. “I’m afraid that you would be hungry.”

Zhang Li Xue’s gaze fell on the food on the plate. Suddenly, her stomach let out a low rumble. She was indeed a little hungry. Zhang Li Xue planned to have a feast after this ceremony ended, but now that she saw the food in front of her, she could no longer hold back.

She stretched her hand and was about to grab the mini lobster rolls. However, before she could take it, Bai Qi had already grabbed her hand.

Zhang Li Xue shot him a puzzled look. Then, she watched as his boyfriend took out a pack of wet tissue and helped her to wipe her fingers. His movement was gentle and the look on his face was a little serious.

Once he was done, Bai Qi flashed her a smile. “Okay. You can eat now.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. She took the rolls and took a small bite. “Do you always carry that packet with you?” She seemed to recall that Bai Qi would take out a packet of wet tissue when they had a meal outside.

Bai Qi nodded. “Mm... It’s a habit.” He watched as his girlfriend took another bite at the lobster rolls and left a smudge of sauce on the corner of her lips.

Before he could say something about it, Zhang Li Xue had already licked the sauce away.

The glimpse of her pink tongue brushing against her red lips turned his eyes a little darker.

Bai Qi quickly looked away, worried that his mind would come up with a lot of interesting images.

His gaze then fell on her legs. After giving it a thought, he then spoke again, “Li Xue, take off your shoes and put your legs on my lap. I’ll give you a rub.”

“Ah?” Zhang Li Xue was a bit surprised by his words.

“Isn’t your legs hurting?” Bai Qi asked. “I saw that you were massaging your calf earlier.”

Zhang Li Xue waved her hands. “It’s alright. It doesn’t hurt that much.” Her gaze swept around the area. “Besides, there are many people around.”

Bai Qi quickly understood that his girlfriend was afraid that someone might see them. His lips curled into a faint smile. “It will be alright. No one will see us sitting here.” He patted his thigh. “Come on. I promise that you will feel better.”

Zhang Li Xue hesitated. But in the end, she was a little tempted by his offer. Seeing that the people around were not paying any attention to them, Zhang Li Xue then took off her shoes and let her boyfriend give her a massage.

This scene reminded her of the time she ran into Bai Qi at Mo Qing Huan’s wedding. On that day, he had also given her legs a massage.

“Does it feel good? I didn’t pinch you too hard, right?”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “It’s alright.” Seeing that the man had diligently pinched her legs, Zhang Li Xue took a piece of small pastry on her plate and leaned over. “Bai Qi.”

The man looked up with an unsuspected look. Suddenly, a pastry was shoved into his mouth.

“You haven’t eaten anything as well,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Since you are giving me a massage, I should help to feed you.”

Bai Qi laughed when he heard her words.
