Love So Sweet

329 Out Shopping

A few days before she headed over to H City, Zhang Li Xue invited Fang Su Jin out and the two of them went out shopping together.

It was said that the temperature in H City was slightly colder around this time and Zhang Li Xue needed a new jacket. The two friends walked around the mall for a bit. Once they were tired, they stopped by a cafe for a quick rest.

After the waiter walked away with their order, Zhang Li Xue took out her phone and exchanged a few texts with her boyfriend.

Fang Su Jin saw the smile on her friend’s face and heaved a sigh. She was really envious of this pair of lovers.

“Alright. Zhang Li Xue, I’m going to be jealous if you don’t pay attention to me.”

Hearing her friend’s words, Zhang Li Xue raised her head and laughed. She sent a few texts to Bai Qi again before putting down her phone on the side.

Fang Su Jin clicked her tongue. “I thought that I wouldn’t get stuffed with dog food now that Doctor Bai is not around. Who would have thought that you would still show off your good relationship?”

“You’re talking nonsense.” Zhang Li Xue recalled Bai Qi’s strange behavior recently and leaned over. “Fang Su Jin.”

“What?”

.....

“Bai Qi is hiding something from me.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhang Li Xue told her friend about Bai Qi’s recent meeting with someone and how he has been quite secretive about it.

Once she finished, Fang Su Jin shot her friend a displeased look. “Look. You are just shoving more dog food at me.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “I’m not. Su Jin, help me to analyze what is going on.”

“Didn’t he tell you that he’s planning a surprise?” Fang Su Jin tried to think of the possibility. “It can’t be your birthday. That is still months away.”

“I am more interested to know about the person that Bai Qi met,” Zhang Li Xue said.

The two of them came out with all sorts of ideas. The more they tried to guess, the more ridiculous their ideas came out to be. However, none of them managed to guess what was Bai Qi up to.

Their conversation about this surprise finally stopped once the waiter served their food and drinks to their table.

Zhang Li Xue ate her cake before looking at her friend again. “That’s right. Su Jin, that guy... Lin Fang had stopped bothering you right?”

After the last time, Fang Su Jin had argued with Lin Fang at the hotel, that guy showed up in front of Fang Su Jin again a few times. Fortunately, Fang Su Jin was never alone when she ran into this annoying person.

One time, Lin Fang was looking for Fang Su Jin while she was with her mentor.

Her mentor saw Lin Fang’s outrageous behavior and called the cops.

Initially, Fang Su Jin did not want to make her parents worry about what happened. But as the cops were involved, the Fang family and the Lin family were alarmed by this incident.

Mother Fang finally learned what her daughter had faced after she decided to stop going out with Lin Fang. In the end, a fight broke out between the two families.

Mother Fang was especially feeling guilty.

If she did not force her daughter onto this blind date, her daughter would not be suffering so much. Fortunately, her daughter had stubbornly fought her regarding this blind date.

Mother Fang could not imagine what will happen to her daughter if the relationship with Lin Fang continued.

In the end, Mother Fang was reprimanded by her husband and the couple agreed that they won’t force this daughter to get married. Anyway, they had enough money to raise her. It does not matter if Fang Su Jin chose to stay single all her life. As long as she was happy, they would be happy as well.

“Fortunately, he had stopped bothering me.” Fang Su Jin had an ugly look on her face when she recalled what she had gone through after meeting that lunatic. “I heard that Mrs. Lin had already set him up with another blind date and their relationship seemed to be quite good.”

Knowing Lin Fang’s obedience to his mother, Fang Su Jin could already imagine how that girl’s life would be if she continued to stay with someone like Lin Fang.

However, this was not her problem. These days, she was happily staying at home with her paintings and dramas. Her mother had stopped nagging at her as well.

The two of them spent their time together for a while longer before they decided to leave.

Zhang Li Xue sent back her friend to her place before she drove over to Bai Qi’s apartment.

When she arrived, Zhang Li Xue pressed the doorbell and was greeted by Bai Xi Xi.

The little girl saw her favorite sister and instantly became happy.

Zhang Li Xue handed a shopping bag to the little girl. “Xi Xi, come. I bought a gift for you.”

Bai Xi Xi looked at her shyly. “Pretty Sister, thank you.” She peeked into the bag and saw a set of cute hair clips. Her pretty sister liked giving her accessories and Bai Xi Xi’s collection has grown a lot. These days, she could go to school with a different hairclip on her hair.

“Your brother isn’t back yet?” Zhang Li Xue asked when she saw that the house was empty.

“He should come back soon.”

Zhang Li Xue leaned over and patted the girl on her hair. “You have been staying home alone?” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh. If she had known, she would bring Bai Xi Xi along to shop.

“It’s alright. I managed to finish my homework.” Bai Xi Xi flashed her a sweet smile. She did not mind staying home alone. Recently, her brother bought her a lot of books and Bai Xi Xi enjoyed reading them.

“Have you eaten?” Zhang Li Xue stood up straight and looked at the kitchen. “Your brother should come home soon. Should we go and make something before he comes back?”

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up. “Sure.”
