Love So Sweet

493 Li Xue... I’m Sorry

When the doorbell rang, the couple turned to look at each other.

Zhang Li Xue looked at Bai Qi questioningly before the man patted her on the head and kissed her on top of her head.

Bai Qi turned to his sister and let her accompany Zhang Li Xue for breakfast while he go and open the door.

The little girl sat down beside her sister-in-law and was excited that she could have the chance to be around her while her brother was away. However, a few seconds later, Bai Xi Xi sensed that there was something strange.

It seemed that her brother had prepared a lot of food for their breakfast. She wondered if the three of them might be able to finish everything.

Just then, Bai Xi Xi heard familiar footsteps. She turned around and saw that her brother had returned. However, it seemed that her brother was not alone. There were two familiar faces behind her brother as well.

The moment they appeared, Bai Xi Xi noticed that her sister’s movement turned rigid.

She peeked at Zhang Li Xue and saw that the smile on her face had faded. Then, the little girl was starting to worry that her sister-in-law would be upset again.

“I invited them to have breakfast with us,” Bai Qi said.

.....

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Fang Su Jin and saw that her friend was staring at her anxiously. She lowered her gaze to look at the food on the table and spoke, “Since you have prepared a lot of food, then let’s just eat together.”

Fang Su Jin heaved in relief, knowing that she could stay. She then moved quickly to sit down beside Bai Xi Xi before Zhang Li Xue could change her mind.

Initially, Fang Su Jin wanted to sit down beside her friend. But she quickly realized that the spot belonged to Bai Qi.

Sitting down beside Bai Xi Xi was quite good too. At least, she could still look at her friend’s face.

Zhang Yi Hai was watching this situation for a while. He looked at his sister and saw that her mood had improved. Then, he sat down between his girlfriend and Bai Qi.

The five of them sat down at the round table. Bai Qi acted like the host and invited the guests to eat.

Zhang Li Xue looked at the dishes on the table again and finally understood why Bai Qi has prepared a lot of food for them. And this man still said that he wanted to cook because he was worried that she might not have any appetite.

She glanced at her husband and looked away again when she saw his smile.

Zhang Li Xue did not know what sort of plan Bai Qi had made. However, she was grateful that he had invited both her brother and friend to this meal.

After a good night’s sleep, her mood improved and she was a lot calmer.

Zhang Li Xue wanted to talk to Fang Su Jin again and ask her why she did not tell her anything.

However, Zhan Li Xue did not know just how should she take the initiative to speak to her friend.

It seemed that after they had both grown up, the two of them had never gotten in any fight. It was the first time that they had not spoken to each other and Zhang Li Xue was at loss for what she should do to reconcile.

Fortunately, Bai Qi was helping her to take the initiative.

The five of them ate their breakfast in silence.

Bai Xi Xi could not help but think that the atmosphere was really strange. Everyone was sitting together but no one seemed to want to speak a word.

Her gaze shifted to her brother, the only ‘normal’ person in her eyes. At this time, her brother continued to feed her sister-in-law her breakfast and reminded her not to be picky with food.

At her side, Bai Xi Xi noticed that Sister Su Jin was stealing a few glances at her sister-in-law. It seemed that she wanted to say something but did not dare to make a sound.

She wondered just what was going on between the adults.

“Xi Xi, eat your breakfast quickly.”

Her brother’s voice snapped her out of her trance. She looked up and saw that her brother was smiling at her.

“When you’re done, I will take you to play at the hotel’s swimming pool, alright?”

The little girl’s eyes lit up. Thinking that she would have time to play in the swimming pool made her excited.

Fang Su Jin raised her gaze to look at Bai Qi. Bai Qi was taking his little sister to the swimming pool, but Zhang Li Xue would stay in her room, right?

After all, with her leg injury, Bai Qi would not allow her to get close to water.

Fang Su Jin pursed her lips into a thin line. She wondered if Bai Qi was making an opportunity for her to speak to Zhang Li Xue later. As the thought came to her mind, Fang Su Jin could not help but steal a few more glances at her friend.

This time, she would take the chance to properly explain everything to Zhang Li Xue. Fang Su Jin decided that before her friend accept her apology, she would not leave the room.

After breakfast, Bai Xi Xi went back to her room to get a change. When she came out again, she realized that her sister-in-law would not be going to the swimming pool as well.

“Brother Bai Qi?” Bai Xi Xi looked at her brother inquiringly.

Bai Qi crouched beside his sister and whispered. “Xi Xi, let’s go out and let Sister Su Jin and your sister talk for a while, alright?”

The little girl thought about the strange atmosphere during breakfast again and nodded.

She turned around and followed her brother out to leave the room.

Initially, Zhang Yi Hai wanted to stay as well and coax his sister. However, Bai Qi told him that it was better for him to let the two best friend talk without anyone else around.

Although he was still worried, Zhang Yi Hai decided to listen to Bai Qi’s advice.

The room turned quiet again after the three people had left.

Fang Su Jin looked at her friend who was still sitting in her wheelchair and approached her slowly. Noticing that Zhang Li Xue had not raised her head to look at her made her sad.

However, Fang Su Jin knew that this was her fault.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Su Jin inhaled a deep breath and spoke, “Li Xue... I’m sorry.”
