Love So Sweet

269 I Still Don’t Approve

On the other side, Bai Qi was surrounded by Zhang Li Xue’s little brothers.

Everyone was curious to see just what kind of person their Sister Li Xue has been dating. After Zhang Li Xue left his side, Bai Qi spent a long time answering their questions about a lot of things.

Zhang Yi Hai stayed close to them to watch as everyone was trying to put pressure on Bai Qi.

Now that he had met everyone, Bai Qi began to understand why her uncles and aunts protect her very much.

Other than his girlfriend, Qi Yue was the only girl in the group. Because of this, the two girls were pampered by their aunts and uncles very much.

Bai Qi continued to listen to the boys warning him not to bully their Sister Li Xue too much. After a while, he raised his head and turned to look at his girlfriend.

Their gazes met for a few seconds before Zhang Li Xue turned.

After a brief hesitation, Bai Qi stood up and excused himself. He walked over to where his girlfriend and her father were seated and smiled.

Zhang Li Xue looked at him shyly as he approached.

.....

Noticing that his daughter was behaving a little strangely, Zhang Yu Han finally raised his head and followed his daughter’s gaze.

His expression changed when he saw Bai Qi approaching.

However, a while later, the look on his face gradually faded. Zhang Yu Han recalled that he had made a promise to his daughter that he will try to get to know Bai Qi well.

“Uncle,” Bai Qi greeted him politely.

“Just have a seat.” Zhang Yu Han flashed a stiff smile as his gaze met with Bai Qi. His eyes narrowed as he watched the young man sit down beside his daughter. Bai Qi leaned over to Zhang Li Xue and whispered something that made her smile.

What should he do? He really wanted to push this young man away from his daughter.

However, he had promised his daughter that he will try. He had promised his wife that he would play nice.

Zhang Yu Han cleared his throat and the couple raised their head to look at him.

This situation made him feel awkward. He did not know just how he should try to get along with this person.

“Have you tried the food? I hope the food is to your liking.”

Zhang Yu Han began to regret saying those words after they left his lips.

Why would he suddenly mention the food?

“The foods were very delicious,” Bai Qi answered. “Uncle, thank you for inviting me.”

His lips turned into a weak smile.

If it was not for his wife’s persuasion, Zhang Yu Han would never think of inviting Bai Qi to join their barbecue party in the backyard.

“It’s good that you are enjoying them.” Zhang Yu Han glanced at his daughter before lowering his gaze. He could only hope that time would pass quickly so he could escape this awkward situation.

Bai Qi leaned over to Zhang Li Xue again and whispered a few words to her.

There was a hesitant look in her eyes. But seeing the look on Bai Qi’s face, Zhang Li Xue finally heaved a sigh.

“Daddy, I’m going over to look at the food.” Zhang Li Xue spoke as she stood up. Her lips curled into a smile when she saw that her father was looking at her. “Do you want anything else? I can go and grab it for you.”

“It’s fine. I’m not really hungry,” Zhang Yu Han said. With Bai Qi around, Zhang Yu Han no longer had much of an appetite.

“Then, I’ll go and take some fruits for you,” Zhang Li Xue spoke before she turned away.

Zhang Yu Hai watched as his daughter left. A while later, he finally realized that he was alone with Bai Qi. The expression on his face stiffened again.

Could it be that his daughter had deliberately stepped away so that he could have a conversation with Bai Qi?

Zhang Yu Han thought that the possibility was very high.

He continued to fiddle with the glass in his hand while arranging the words he wanted to say to him in his mind.

“Uncle, you can say what you wanted to say.”

Zhang Yu Han chuckled when he heard Bai Qi’s words. He had to admire Bai Qi’s courage to deliver himself to him like this.

He met Bai Qi’s gaze and spoke, “I’m sure that you already know that you are the first man that my daughter has introduced as her boyfriend.”

Bai Qi nodded but did not say anything else.

“In the past, everyone around Li Xue had worked hard to drive away some flies around her.” Zhang Yu Han chuckled. “However, you still managed to go past our guards and get close to her.”

“I can see that Li Xue is loved and protected by everyone around her,” Bai Qi said.

In fact, Bai Qi was very glad that his little fairy has been well protected by her family. Otherwise, how could he meet her again and be given the chance to date her?

“Let me just be honest with you,” Zhang Yu Han said. “I still don’t approve of you dating my daughter. In your line of work, your patients will always be your priority. There will be days when you cannot be by Li Xue’s side when she needs you.”

Bai Qi swallowed as he tried to hide the disappointed look in his eyes. He wanted to say that he will always be by Li Xue’s side, but he did not want to make an empty promise.

“However, my daughter seems to like you very much,” Zhang Yu Han continued. “For my daughter’s sake, I will give you a chance.”

His eyes lit up when he heard those words.

“For now, I will keep my eyes on you,” Zhang Yu Han said. “You should know that Li Xue has a big family. If you dare to hurt my daughter, we won’t let you go. Making you unable to stay in this country is very easy.”

Bai Qi sat up straight. “Uncle, I promise that I won’t do anything that will hurt Li Xue.”

Zhang Yu Han sneered. “Actions talk louder than words. I won’t believe in your promise. But you should show that you really mean what you say.”
