Love So Sweet

Chapter 459

459 Too Coincidental

The couple sat together in the living room for a long time.

Zhang Li Xue would be asking some questions while Bai Qi would answer each of them patiently.

After chatting for a while, Bai Qi began to notice that his wife was getting tired. Seeing that his little fairy was lying in his arms like a lazy cat, Bai Qi carried her back to their room.

In fact, this was not the first time that they did this.

Whenever Bai Qi was not on duty the next day, he would take Zhang Li Xue on a short trip or the two of them would head back to this apartment to spend their time alone.

Bai Qi thought that he was quite fortunate to have very supportive and understanding parents-in-law. His mother-in-law would willingly volunteer to look after his little sister while he took his wife away to enjoy their alone time together.

The moment Bai Qi put her on the mattress, Zhang Li Xue quickly moved to get into a comfortable position. She grabbed the pillow and thought that it was comfortable to fall asleep just like this.

However, before she would fall into dreamland, Zhang Li Xue began to realize that something was strange. The temperature was a little cold.

Zhang Li Xue opened her eyes again only to find that her husband was trying to undress her.

.....

Their gazes met and the atmosphere around them turned silent.

“What are you doing?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

Bai Qi laughed. He could already imagine that his wife was already calling him a hooligan.

“I’m helping you to take a bath,” Bai Qi explained. “You just come back from the hospital. It’s better to take a quick bath before you go to sleep.”

Zhang Li Xue held the front of her shirt tightly. Her cheek was a little red. “I can do it myself.”

Bai Qi leaned over until their nose were an inch apart. Then, a teasing smile curled on his lips. “What are you shy about? We already did this a lot of times before.”

The redness on her cheek spread to her neck.

Zhang Li Xue thought that Bai Qi’s words could really make one misunderstood.

In fact, because of her injured legs, Bai Qi would often help her to take a bath whenever he was around. There were a lot of things that she could do by herself, but her husband was determined to spoil her.

Zhang Li Xue wanted to hide while Bai Qi was determined to help his wife take a bath.

The two of them played around for a bit and the room was filled with Zhang Li Xue’s laughter. In the end, Zhang Li Xue had no choice but to give up and let Bai Qi carry her into the bathroom.

Zhang Li Xue leaned on the bathtub while having one of her legs hanging out. Meanwhile, Bai Qi was patiently massaging her shoulder and neck.

His touch was so comfortable that it almost made her fall asleep. However, Zhang Li Xue fought against her sleepiness to accompany Bai Qi a bit longer.

“What do you want to do tomorrow?”

Zhang Li Xue opened her eyes again to stare at the handsome man in front of her.

She understood that Bai Qi wanted to know if she wanted to go out and have a date. But, when she saw the hint of tiredness in his face, her heart started to ache again.

“Let’s just stay at home.” She watched as Bai Qi raised a brow and leaned over to act coquettishly with him. “Recently, the work at the company has been tiring. Let’s just stay at home and laze around.”

“Alright.” Bai Qi nodded. Naturally, he did not have any objection to her request.

“I haven’t tasted your cooking for a while,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I liked that tofu dishes you cooked for me the other day.”

Bai Qi laughed. “Then, I’ll call someone to deliver some ingredients tomorrow.” He stretched his hand to play with her hair. “My little fairy, is there anything else you would like to request?”

Zhang Li Xue shook her head. Then a sheepish smile curled on her lips. “Hubby, I’ll eat whatever you make for me.”

The couple continued to laze around for a while. While they were chatting about this and that, Zhang Li Xue suddenly recalled her brother’s conversation with her mother earlier.

Zhang Li Xue told her husband about Zhang Yi Hai’s plan to visit F Country next month, which was coincidentally around the same time as Fang Su Jin’s exhibition.

After he heard his wife’s words, Bai Qi was quiet for a long time.

His brow furrowed slightly as he seemed to be in deep thought.

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be spacing out, Zhang Li Xue then splashed some water on his face. “What are you thinking about?”

Bai Qi shook his head. “No. I just thought that it was too coincidental for Yi Hai and your friend to visit F Country around the same time.”

Zhang Li Xue chuckled. “That’s what I thought too. That’s why I already instructed my brother to go and visit Su Jin’s exhibition in my stead. Su Jin would be surprised.”

Bai Qi recalled the day he asked for Zhang Yi Hai’s help so that he could propose to Zhang Li Xue. At that time, Zhang Yi Hai had asked Fang Su Jin to help him to bring Zhang Li Xue to that park.

Now that he thought about it, Bai Qi realized that he seemed to notice that Zhang Yi Hai and Fang Su Jin were always together. Or could it be that he was thinking too much?

“How is Yi Hai’s relationship with your friend? Are they close?”

Zhang Li Xue paused upon hearing his question. “My brother and Su Jin?” Then, she started to laugh. “Su Jin is always afraid of Yi Hai. You see, my brother always had a serious look on his face. I think Su Jin started to grow afraid of my brother after she once saw my brother chasing away the boys around me.”

Bai Qi’s thoughts were distracted. He looked at his wife with his eyes narrowed. “It seemed that you are quite popular during school, huh? My wife, why don’t you tell me more about this?”

Zhang Li Xue quickly noticed the change in his tone. She looked up to meet Bai Qi’s gaze and blinked innocently.
