Love So Sweet

104 Her Parents were Flirting

“Sister, are you ready to go?” Zhang Yi Hai peeked into the living room and saw that his sister was still lazing around. The way she was sitting at this moment looked nothing like a graceful young miss.

Zhang Li Xue raised her head to look at her brother. Seeing that he was all set up, she then stood up and walked over with heavy steps.

“What’s wrong with you?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. His brow furrowed.

These past few days, Zhang Yi Hai had noticed that his sister has been acting a little too strange.

She was listless and often sigh after staring at the wall.

It was her best friend, Fang Su Jin who broke up. However, his sister was acting as if she had a heartbreak.

If he did not know that his sister never dated anyone, Zhang Yi Hai would think that his sister had broken up with her boyfriend.

“Nothing. I’m just a little bit tired after a long week at work.” Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh.

There was no way that she could tell her brother what was on her mind.

.....

Even she did not fully understand what was going on.

After she had left Doctor Bai’s apartment last weekend, Zhang Li Xue could feel her heart turn heavier. She came back to work feeling unhappy and she became moody.

It was not easy for her to meet someone she could get along with comfortably like Doctor Bai. She had thought that they were friends. But Doctor Bai seemed uncomfortable being friends with her because her father was the president of Zhang Group Worldwide.

“Alright. Let’s go. I’m ready.” Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath and forced that thought away from her mind.

Perhaps, going on this vacation with her brothers and Fang Su Jin was just what she needed. Maybe it will help her to forget about her last meeting with Doctor Bai.

“Where’s Mommy and Daddy? Let’s go and meet them first before we leave,” Zhang Li Xue said.

“They should be in the backyard,” Zhang Yi Hai said.

Zhang Li Xu turned and headed to the backyard. As they approached, the siblings could hear the sound of a basketball bouncing on the floor, followed by their parents’ laughter.

From a young age, Zhang Li Xue has been watching them play around. Their match was never serious. Although they were already in their middle age, both of them still liked to play basketball occasionally.

As she arrived at the backyard, Zhang Li Xue caught her father hugging their mother in his attempt to block her from advancing. When she was a little girl, Zhang Li Xue would often think that her father was trying to cheat.

When she grew up, Zhang Li Xue understood that her parents were flirting.

As she watched her parents on the basketball court, Zhang Li Xue suddenly recalled that Doctor Bai had promised to have another match with her.

However, it looks like they won’t be having any basketball matches anymore.

Her heart ached as the thought came to her mind.

In the middle of the basketball court, Li Qin Yao was trying her best to get past her husband. Seeing that he was determined to block her, Li Qin Yao decided to play some dirty tricks.

She stood on tiptoed and pecked on her husband’s cheek. Then, with one swift move, she turned and shot the ball into the hoop and scored.

“Why are they doing this?” Zhang Li Xue sighed at the side. “It’s early in the morning and they were already scattering dog food. This couple did not even spare their own children.”

Perhaps after watching their parents’ relationship, the sibling’s requirements towards their other half had turned strict as well. They both wanted to have a good relationship just like their parents.

Zhang Yi Hai chuckled. Although his sister sounded as if she was complaining, both of them loved watching their parents’ good relationship. They were always loving.

“It’s good that their relationship maintained this way.” Zhang Yi Hai’s lips turned up slightly as he watched his parents fooling around in the middle of the court.

Sensing that some people were watching them, Li Qin Yao finally escaped from her husband’s embrace. Her cheek turned slightly red upon noticing that their children were watching their interaction.

Li Qin Yao cleared her throat and spoke, “Li Xue, Yi Hai, are you both leaving now?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “We still need to pick up Su Jin after this. The triplets will meet us on the way.”

“Are you driving?” Li Qin Yao turned to her son.

“Uh-huh.”

“Be careful,” Li Qin Yao reminded him. “Tell me when you arrive.”

They were already adults but their parents continued to worry about them.

After promising their parents that they will take care of each other, the siblings finally leave the house. As her brother was behind the wheel, Zhang Li Xue began to text her friend that they were on the way to pick her up.

After five minutes of driving, the siblings finally arrived at the Fang’s residence.

Zhang Li Xue pressed the doorbell and entered the house to meet with Fang Su Jin’s parents while her brother was waiting in the car.

A few minutes later, Zhang Li Xue came out of the house while helping Fang Su Jin to carry some of her luggage.

Seeing the girls walking over, Zhang Yi Hai alighted from the car and opened the cargo space. He glanced at Fang Su Jin and saw that the girl’s eyes were not as swollen as he had expected.

Zhang Yi Hai concluded that Fang Su Jin should have gotten over her breakup with her boyfriend.

“Give me that.” Zhang Yi Hai stretched his hand, wanting to take the luggage from the girl.

Fang Su Jin hesitated for a while before she handed over her luggage. Just as she had thought, Zhang Li Xue’s brother was too scary.

The man always had a cold look on his face. It made her wonder if Zhang Yi Hai had some kind of grudge against her.

She could not imagine how she will survive the car ride to the hotel.

Fang Su Jin could only pray that everything will go on smoothly. If it was not because Zhang Li Xue’s pitiful face, she really did not want to go on this vacation. Instead of relaxing, she had to constantly be on alert against this man.
