Love So Sweet

Chapter 491 - 491 Not Angry

491 Not Angry

Bai Xi Xi ate her meal quietly. Once in a while, she would glance at the closed door with an inquiring gaze. Then, she would eat her dinner quietly again.

The little girl was worried about her sister-in-law. However, when she recalled how her sister seemed to be in a bad mood, Bai Xi Xi decided not to ask too much.

She thought about what happened at the exhibition center again and wondered what happened. Did her sister-in-law have a fight with Sister Su Jin? But why?

Didn’t they come to the exhibition to give Sister Su Jin some support? Then, why did they leave before looking around at Sister Su Jin’s paintings?

Bai Xi Xi found out that she could not understand just what the adults were thinking.

“Is the food delicious?”

The voice made her look up. Bai Xi Xi looked at her brother and nodded. “It’s good.”

A faint smile curled on his lips. Bai Qi stretched his hand to pat his little sister on the head. “Then, you have to eat a little bit more.”

Bai Xi Xi took another bite of her food before she looked at her brother again. After a brief hesitation, she put down her cutlery and spoke, “Brother Bai Qi, is my sister alright?”

.....

Bai Qi looked at his little sister and knew that she was worried about his wife as well. “Your sister is alright. She just needed some time to think.”

Her brow furrowed. Even with her brother’s assurance, Bai Xi Xi was not at ease. “Then, Brother Bai Qi, you have to remember to look after my sister.” She lowered her gaze and spoke, “Sister did not even have her dinner yet.”

Bai Xi Xi was worried that her sister-in-law would be hungry later.

A helpless sigh escaped him. Bai Qi knew just how much his little sister loved Zhang Li Xue.

“Un. You don’t have to worry. I will remind your sister to eat later,” Bai Qi said. “I already put aside some food for her.”

It was then that Bai Xi Xi felt more at ease.

After eating her dinner, Bai Xi Xi went back to her room to rest. Today, her brother and sister-in-law had taken her to a lot of interesting places. She had walked for a long time and was tired.

Bai Qi watched as his sister went into her room before he cleaned up the dining table a little bit. Then, he turned around and headed to his room.

When he entered the room, his wife was still sitting in her wheelchair while looking out the window. She seemed distracted, but Bai Qi could guess what was going on in her mind.

Bai Qi watched his wife from a distance for a while before he walked over to her side. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her body.

His movement startled her a little bit. But once Zhang Li Xue smell the familiar scent on Bai Qi’s body, she began to relax.

“What are you thinking about?” Bai Qi asked.

Seeing that his wife did not answer, Bai Qi pulled away before he walked around her wheelchair. He crouched in front of her just so he could look at her face properly.

A faint sigh escaped him when he noticed that Zhang Li Xue seemed to be suppressing her tears.

He stood up again before carrying Zhang Li Xue into his arms. Then, he walked toward their bed and sat down with his wife still in his arms. Bai Qi was careful not to hurt her injured leg. He hugged her tightly and asked, “Are you angry? You don’t like that Fang Su Jin and your brother are dating? ”

Zhang Li Xue sniffled as she leaned her head on Bai Qi’s chest. “Who said that I’m angry that they are dating?”

Once upon a time, she had joked with Fang Su Jin and asked her to call her sister-in-law. How can she be angry to learn that the two of them were dating?

“Then, why are you upset?” Bai Qi’s voice was soft and coaxing.

“I’m not angry that the two of them are together. I’m just upset that Su Jin chose to keep this matter a secret from me.” Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips. “I always shared with her my secret. When I first got into a relationship with you, I told Su Jin about it and asked her to keep this secret from my family. But now that she was dating my brother, she did not think to let me know about it. How can I not be upset? Aren’t we friends? Why didn’t she tell me anything?”

Zhang Li Xue could not help thinking if Fang Su Jin did not tell her anything because she did not trust her enough.

She was not angry. She was just... sad.

Bai Qi was listening to his wife venting her feelings quietly. He thought about it for a while and spoke, “Perhaps she was just shy. After all, the person she was dating is your younger brother.”

Zhang Li Xue pulled away and looked at her husband with a frown.

Even though Bai Qi’s words made sense, Fang Su Jin’s actions still made her unhappy.

Bai Qi chuckled upon meeting his wife’s gaze. He spent a long time coaxing his wife not to be upset for a long time. Bai Qi had to use his little sister’s name to persuade his wife to eat her dinner a little bit.

He was finally at ease upon seeing that his wife was in a better mood.

Bai Qi spent a long time coaxing his wife to sleep. Seeing that the person in his arms had fallen asleep, Bai Qi tucked her into bed and kissed the top of her head.

Then, he came out of the room again. Bai Qi looked at his phone and saw the text message from his brother-in-law.

“Brother Bai Qi, how is my sister?”

He let out a sigh as he replied to Zhang Yi Hai about his sister’s condition.

“Brother Bai Qi, can you help to coax my sister?”

Bai Qi pondered over his request for a bit. “What do you want me to do?”

“If it is convenient, should we meet for a bit?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. “I’m at the hotel lobby.”

Bai Qi stared at his brother-in-law’s text for a while before he walk out, leaving the suite.
