Love So Sweet

194 Discuss an Exhibition

Zhang Li Xue, who had only come back from her date with her handsome doctor was feeling giddy. Each time that she recalled the sweet moments with Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue thought that she wanted to share her feelings with someone.

However, there were not a lot of people who know about her relationship with Bai Qi.

The only person who knew something was no other than her best friend, Fang Su Jin.

Zhang Li Xue thought that the moment she told Fang Su Jin about their relationship, her friend would be surprised. However, Fang Su Jin’s reaction was not what she had imagined.

“Su Jin, are you not surprised?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

“No. I just thought that it will take a while before the two of you get together,” Fang Su Jin said. “As an outsider, I could see some things clearer than you. Doctor Bai likes you and it was too obvious.”

Zhang Li Xue let out a silly laugh.

“I was just surprised that it was you who would be the one who confessed.” Fang Su Jin could not help but admire this friend. “Zhang Li Xue, you’re too good.”

If Zhang Li Xue was in front of her, Fang Su Jin would give her two thumbs up.

.....

“I wasn’t planning to say a word to him so soon. Things just happened that way,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Fortunately, he did not reject me.”

Zhang Li Xue did not want to imagine the possibility of Bai Qi rejecting her. She would be too sad and too embarrassed to see him again.

“That’s right. Su Jin... when do you realize that Bai Qi might like me?”

Fang Su Jin thought of it for a few seconds. “I’m not going to tell you.” She then laughed mischievously.

The number of times she had encountered Bai Qi could be counted with one hand. It shouldn’t be that difficult for Zhang Li Xue to figure out, right?

The two friends chatted for a bit. Mostly, it was Zhang Li Xue who was giving her friend some updates about the beginning of her love life.

It was after a while that Zhang Li Xue could hear the sound of the doorbell on the other line. Fang Su Jin continued to chat with her friends while walking to the door. Then, a speaking voice was heard in the background.

Zhang Li Xue waited for Fang Su Jin to return to the phone. “Su Jin, are you busy?”

“It’s alright,” Fang Su Jin spoke. “My mentor reminded me that my meeting with the agent should be in the afternoon.”

Fang Su Jin was supposed to head to Capital City next week for her exhibition. However, a few days ago, her mentor called to say that an agent was interested in her paintings and wanted to discuss an exhibition in F Country. Because of that, Fang Su Jin had to head over to Capital City earlier than planned.

After exchanging a few more words, the two finally ended their call.

Fang Su Jin did not forget to remind her friend of what will happen if her family find out that she was in a relationship.

Then, Fang Su Jin prepared to go out and meet the agent.

After checking herself in the mirror one more time, Fang Su Jin left her hotel room to meet her mentor in the hotel’s lobby.

The two of them took a cab, heading to a cafe where they were supposed to meet the agent.

When they reached the cafe, the agent had already arrived. The agent was a young man in his early thirties. When he saw Fang Su Jin, he could not help to give her a look over before introducing himself as Mika.

The man’s gaze was making Fang Su Jin slightly uncomfortable. However, with her mentor around, she decided not to say anything

Mika expressed his admiration for Fang Su Jin’s painting style and tried to convince her to let him be the person who would manage her activity in F Country. Mika was confident that Fang Su Jin’s vibrant paintings would be well accepted in F Country.

After a discussion over lunch, Fang Su Jin could only promise that she would think about that offer before giving him an answer. She was tempted by the offer and her mentor also agreed that the opportunity would be good for her.

However, Exhibitions in F Country would mean that she will have to frequently travel to the country. There are a lot of things for her to consider before she could agree.

For starters, Fang Su Jin planned to ask her parents’ opinion.

“Su Jin, are you heading back to the hotel?” her mentor asked as they left the restaurant. “Let me send you back first.”

“Teacher Jiang, there’s no need. Didn’t you say that you are going to shop around for your daughter?” Fang Su Jin smiled. “You go ahead first. I wanted to walk around the city for a while.”

Teacher Jiang hesitated. After all, Fang Su Jin’s parents had specially instructed him to look after this girl well.

“I’m not a child.” Fang Su Jin heaved a helpless sigh. “Besides, this isn’t the first time that I visited Capital City. I know my way around here.”

Teacher Jiang thought of her words for a bit and nodded. “Very well. Then, if anything happens, you have to remember to call me. Just text me when you reached the hotel.”

The two of them parted their ways. After watching her mentor get into the taxi, Fang Su Jin turned around. She seemed to have seen an ice cream shop at the end of the street before and wanted to go over to buy it.

Just then, a black car stopped by the roadside just next to Fang Su Jin who was walking on the pedestrian walk. The sudden stop made her heart jolt.

Fang Su Jin eyed the car angrily while muttering a few cursing words.

The door was pushed open and Mika stepped out with a bright smile on his face. “Miss Fang, are you heading back to the hotel? Let me send you over.”

“It’s alright. I just wanted to take a walk for a while. I won’t trouble you.”

“Then, why don’t I accompany you for a walk?”

Fang Su Jin averted her gaze when she saw the flirtatious smile on the man’s face. “You don’t need to.” Her eyes stopped at the black car behind him. “This is a no parking zone. Be careful or the authorities will show up and tow your car away.”

Mika watched as Fang Su Jin walked away and the corner of his lips tilted up. He glanced at his rented car before deciding to follow the girl.

Her brow furrowed when she could still hear his footsteps behind her.

Previously, she have heard that the people from F Country could be very flirtatious. However, she did not know that they would be troublesome.
