Love So Sweet

344 Head Back to Y City

Li Qin Yao glanced at her husband. Seeing the stiff look on her face let her know that this man was unhappy again. However, Zhang Yu Han needed to get used to watching some scenes.

Sooner or later, their daughter will be married. It can’t be that he was planning to pull that unhappy face when he saw the couple together, right?

“We arrived some time ago,” Li Qin Yao said. “I accompanied your dad to visit the others.”

“How are they?” Zhang Li Xue did not forget that a few of them were also in the building when the earthquake happen. She was discussing some matters with the manager and the architect about the hotel planning. Later, she was separated from them as they had already moved to the next place.

“Your dad’s assistant dislocated his arms,” Li Qin Yao said. “The project manager’s situation was a little serious. He lost a lot of blood and was still unconscious. We heard that he was injured from protecting the others.”

Zhang Li Xue recalled some images again and shivered. She also prayed that the others will be alright.

“Your Uncle Qi Zheng will help to find an expert to look at their condition,” Zhang Yu Han said. “You don’t have to worry about it.” He walked over to his daughter and caressed her cheek with his thumb. “Li Xue, how are you feeling?”

“A little painful all around my body. I think the painkillers had worn off.”

“Should we call the doctor?” Zhang Yu Han frowned.

.....

“Daddy, there’s already a doctor over here.” Zhang Li Xue laughed as she looked at Bai Qi. She looked at her father again and spoke, “Daddy, it’s fine. I can still tolerate this amount of pain. Moreover, too many painkillers aren’t good for the body.”

Zhang Yu Han was distressed. He did not want to see his daughter in pain. He was also worried about her health.

Zhang Li Xue’s gaze softened when she saw her father’s worried look.

She could still remember seeing her dad crying his eyes out in the ambulance. It was the first time that Zhang Li Xue had seen something like that and she was still shocked.

However, Zhang Li Xue also understood how much her father loved and doted on her. She could not imagine just how her father was feeling when he had to watch the building collapse in front of him.

She had made him worried and Zhang Li Xue was feeling guilty about it.

Suddenly, Zhang Li Xue thought that her handsome father looked a little older.

Her chest was heavy and her eyes were a little sore.

Zhang Li Xue held her father’s hand and sobbed. “Daddy, sorry for making you worry.”

Her words were too sudden. Zhang Yu Han felt as if something was stuck in his throat.

Yesterday, he had already cried his heart out without bothering about the people who might see it. But now, he told himself that he absolutely cannot cry in front of his daughter again.

“You fool. It was an accident. You don’t have to apologize for it.” Zhang Yu Han could not help but lean over and hugged his daughter tightly.

This was his little princess. He would always worry about her and protect her all his life.

“It’s good as long as you are safe.” He really didn’t know what he would do if he lost his daughter.

Bai Qi saw that the family was having their moments together and decided that he should give them some time together.

“Bai Qi.” Li Qin Yao called his name before he could sneak out of the room. “Come on. I bought some breakfast. Let’s eat together, alright?” She walked over to the table and placed the food they bought earlier. “I don’t know what you like. Therefore, we bought a little bit of everything.”

In just a few seconds, there was a lot of food spread on the table.

Bai Qi looked at everything on the table and thought that there was really a lot of food.

“Then, I should go and wash up first.” Bai Qi pointed to the bathroom.

“Un.” Li Qin Yao nodded. “You go ahead.”

Bai Qi picked up the backpack he brought with him and went into the bathroom. He planned to take a quick shower. After last night, his body was a little sticky.

He wondered how could Zhang Li Xue stick up too close to him all night. Each time that he tried to move, the girl will soon stick close to him again. Perhaps, she would only feel secure when she had someone close to her.

His lips curled into a faint smile as he thought of how they had spent their time together. He liked the feeling of waking up and seeing the face of someone he liked.

Bai Qi thought of the surprise that he wanted to prepare for Zhang Li Xue. Because of what happened, he did not manage to plan it properly.

It seemed that he will have to postpone his proposal and find another chance. He still has to consider Zhang Li Xue’s injury.

After a quick shower, Bai Qi came out again in a fresh change of clothes. He saw the family of three together and felt as if he shouldn’t interrupt them. However, Li Qin Yao saw her and called him to have breakfast together.

Bai Qi sat down and started to eat the dumpling soup in front of him.

Once in a while, Bai Qi would steal a glance at Zhang Li Xue to check whether she would be feeling uncomfortable.

“That’s right. We already spoke to the doctor,” Li Qin Yao said. She looked at her daughter and continued, “Later, the doctor will come and give you a check-up. If there’s nothing wrong, then, we’ll take you back to Y City. You can recuperate at home.”

“Alright.” Zhang Li Xue was relieved. She wanted to stay at a place that she was familiar with. Recuperating at home would make her feel safer.

“Bai Qi, you come over with us as well,” Li Qin Yao spoke. “Everyone is planning to head back to Y City this evening.”
