Love So Sweet

Chapter 229

229 Are You Two Together?

Zhang Li Xue stared back at her Uncle Qi Zheng, unable to say a word. She didn’t know just how to explain why she was in Bai Qi’s office.

She could not lie and tell him that she was feeling unwell. It would only lead her to another problem.

Zhang Li Xue stood up slowly. “Uncle Qi Zheng...” Her mind whirled to think of a way to explain her situation.

She had never thought that her Uncle Qi Zheng would suddenly show up at the hospital. Usually, he would not come over to the hospital on the weekend. Zhang Li Xue had not seen his car parked outside the building when she arrived.

Seeing that the girl did not answer him for a long time gave him a strange feeling. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Zheng heard a voice coming from behind him.

“Doctor Qi?”

Qi Zheng turned around and saw Bai Qi. The young man had a surprised look on his expression as well.

“Doctor Qi.” Bai Qi cleared his throat. “Why are you here?”

A thought came to his mind. Qi Zheng seemed to recall Bai Qi’s dating rumor. It was said that his girlfriend would often come to the hospital to see him.

.....

His gaze alternated between the two.

Qi Zheng’s expression grew heavier as he finally guessed what was going on.

He turned to Bai Qi and lifted the paper bag in his hand. “The other day, you told me you wanted to borrow a few books.”

Bai Qi cleared his throat. He took the paper bag from Qi Zheng and spoke, “Thank you, Doctor Qi.”

Qi Zheng nodded. He looked in the direction where Bai Qi had come from. “Who else is on duty today?”

Bai Qi reported a few names.

“Good. Tell them that you would be away for a few minutes. You come with me.” Qi Zheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Li Xue. “Li Xue, you too. Come with me.”

“Uncle Qi Zheng...”

“Explain later. Come with me first.”

Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath. She exchanged a glance with Bai Qi before she stood up and went after her Uncle Qi Zheng.

Her heart was chaotic.

Although she had prepared herself that her uncle would soon find out that she was dating Bai Qi, Zhang Li Xue did not expect that it would be this soon.

The two of them followed Qi Zheng back to his office.

On their way, a few nurses saw the three of them together and started to whisper, wondering what was going on. Doctor Qi’s face did not look too good.

Bai Qi entered the room after his girlfriend before he closed the door behind him.

Qi Zheng turned around and stared at the two people in front of him. Seeing Bai Qi’s calm expression made him a little frustrated.

“You two...” Qi Zheng pointed his finger at them. “Are you two together?”

“Yes.” Bai Qi did not hesitate to answer.

The corner of Qi Zheng’s lips twitched. He did not expect that the boy would be able to answer him coolly.

“Uncle Qi Zheng, I’m dating Bai Qi,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. She reached for Bai Qi’s hand and held him tightly as if to let him know that he could let her handle this matter.

Qi Zheng heaved a sigh. He looked at Bai Qi again and spoke, “A while ago, I heard some rumor that your girlfriend often visits you at work. Don’t tell me that this girlfriend is my niece?”

“Uncle Qi Zheng, the person in that rumor should be me,” Zhang Li Xue spoke before Bai Qi could say anything. She met Qi Zheng’s gaze before she looked away again.

“You...” Qi Zheng heaved a sigh. The thought that Zhang Li Xue would often come to the hospital to look for Bai Qi made him uncomfortable. Judging from the rumor he heard, it seemed that Zhang Li Xue had come to see Bai Qi almost every day.

In the past, Qi Zheng did not care much about this rumor. Since it was Bai Qi’s private matter, Qi Zheng decided not to interfere. He thought that it would be a good thing for his student to find someone he liked. But, it was a different story since the person he was in a relationship with was no other than his niece.

Qi Zheng turned to look at Zhang Li Xue again. The girl was looking at him with her puppy dog eyes, making him speechless. In the end, Qi Zheng could only let out a heavy sigh.

He did not want to stop them from seeing each other.

In the beginning, Qi Zheng had also thought of setting them up together. However, after knowing that Bai Qi was raising his little sister, Qi Zheng changed his thought.

He just did not want Zhang Li Xue to suffer.

“Don’t look at me like I’m the bad person here,” Qi Zheng spoke. “It’s not that I want to stop you from seeing each other.” There was a complicated look on his face. He looked at Bai Qi and spoke, “Li Xue is a relative that I have watched growing up. I don’t want her to suffer.”

Zhang Li Xue’s gaze softened, knowing how much her Uncle Qi Zheng cared about her.

“Doctor Qi, I know that you are worried,” Bai Qi spoke with a resolute look in his eyes. “I like Li Xue very much. I can promise you that I won’t let her suffer or do anything that would hurt her. ”

Qi Zheng heaved another sigh. It seemed that he was having a headache.

“Did anyone else know about this?” Qi Zheng asked.

“My mom knows,” Zhang Li Xue said.

Qi Zheng was surprised to know that Li Qin Yao knew about this matter.

“But Uncle Qi Zheng, I hope that you won’t tell my father about this. I don’t want to let him know this early,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I want to let him know myself.”

Qi Zheng could already guess what will his friend do once he heard the news that his daughter was dating someone.

If Zhang Yu Han knew that he was keeping this secret, that man would definitely beat him up. However, as he looked at Zhang Li Xue’s pleading eyes, Qi Zheng knew that he could not betray her.

It was making him frustrated.

This was not something that he had expected to find out when he came to deliver some books to Bai Qi.
