Love So Sweet

Chapter 605 - 605 Another Unexpected Guest

605 Another Unexpected Guest

On that day, Zhang Yi Hai was not the only one who came to visit Zhang Li Xue at her office. In the evening, Zhang Li Xue received another unexpected guest.

After looking at a few documents, Zhang Li Xue began to forget the time again. Many of the staff had already clocked off from work, but Zhang Li Xue sat in her office and continued to look at her documents.

The knock on her door snapped her to her senses.

Zhang Li Xue merely glanced at the door and told the person to come in. Then, she continued to look at her documents as the person pushed the door and walked in.

There was a part of that document that caught her interest. Because of that, Zhang Li Xue did not look up to look at the person.

However, she quickly noticed that the person had not said a word for a long time.

Her brow furrowed. Then, Zhang Li Xue began to raise her head.

When she saw who it was, the frown on her face quickly disappeared. Her eyes lit up and the corner of her lips raised.

The person who came to her office this time was Bai Qi.

.....

Seeing the man’s smiling face, Zhang Li Xue finally stood up and walked over to his side. “Why are you here?” She glanced at her wristwatch and thought that it was still too early for Bai Qi to get off work.

Wait. Her hubby was supposed to work the night shift today. Otherwise, she would look at the time and head back home earlier.

“Another colleague wanted to change his schedule with me,” Bai Qi said. “I decided to get off a little early and come to pick you up from work. Fortunately, you are still here.”

Just as he finished saying those words, Zhang Li Xue arrived by his side and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head rested on his chest as she listened to his heartbeat.

It was a rare chance for Bai Qi to visit her at her office. Therefore, Zhang Li Xue was especially excited to see him coming.

Bai Qi chuckled. He stroked his wife’s head a few times before lowering his head to kiss the top of her head. Seeing how happy she was upon seeing him made him smile.

“I thought that we could have dinner outside before going back,” Bai Qi said. “But if you are busy—”

“It’s alright,” Zhang Li Xue answered before Bai Qi could finish his sentence. “It’s already time to clock off from work. I can continue to look at the documents tomorrow.”

A faint sigh escaped him. I don’t mind waiting for you for a while.” His eyes were gentle as he looked at his wife. Bai Qi would always remember how Zhang Li Xue would wait for him in his office whenever he was busy at work.

His wife would not mind spending her time at his office and waiting for hours. Of course, Bai Qi would not mind waiting for her today.

Without letting Bai Qi say another word, Zhang Li Xue quickly turned around to tidy up her desk.

Then, less than five minutes later, Zhang Li Xue went to Bai Qi’s side with her purse in hand. “I’m ready. Let’s go. Where are you taking me?”

Bai Qi laughed at her expression. Of course, he was happy that his wife was looking forward to going out with him. “Let’s have dinner first. Then, we can stay at the apartment tonight.” He lowered his head to kiss her lips. Something that he had looked forward to the moment he saw her earlier. “I already talked to Mom about this.”

Zhang Li Xue did not have any objection. She held Bai Qi’s hand and the two of them left the office together. She decided to leave her vehicle at the hotel and took Bai Qi’s car instead.

Once they were in the car, the couple began to chat about their days. Zhang Li Xue listened to Bai Qi telling her about his recent paperwork with full concentration. Although she did not understand much about it, Zhang Li Xue would always like listening to Bai Qi talk. Then, Zhang Li Xue would tell him about the project she was in charge of.

Once she had finished saying a few things, Bai Qi glanced at his wife again and asked, “You have been quite busy these past few days. Did you remember to eat your meal?”

Zhang Li Xue batted her eyes, flashing him an innocent look. “Of course, I did.”

“Really?” Bai Qi raised a brow. “What did you eat today?”

Bai Qi had previously heard from his in-laws that his wife had this habit where she would forget to eat her meal whenever she was busy. Because of that, she had a stomach problem.

“My mom send me some sandwiches for lunch,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I ate them while looking at the documents.”

His wife was looking at him with a pair of adorable eyes. Seeing this, Bai Qi knew that he would not have the heart to scold her even if she skipped her meal.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law understood her daughter well and decided to send some food to her instead. Otherwise, his wife would skip her meal again.

“How was it? Delicious?”

Zhang Li Xue thought about the sandwiches that her mother had made for her. “Of course, it’s delicious.” She had always liked whatever it is that her mother prepared for her. Then, a few seconds later, Zhang Li Xue recalled the taste of the egg sandwiches and her brow furrowed. “But I think that the taste is a little strange.”

“How strange?” Bai Qi frowned.

Zhang Li Xue snapped out of her thought when she heard Bai Qi’s question.

Earlier, she had thought that the egg sandwiches smelled a little bad. However, if she said this to Bai Qi, the man would start to worry about the food she ate. Zhang Li Xue decided that it was best not to say anything about this to him.

Anyway, she had already eaten her sandwiches and did not experience any stomach ache. The food that her mother sent to her should be fine, right?

“Mmm... Maybe Mommy added some new ingredients,” Zhang Li Xue came up with an excuse. “I did not notice what it was. I’ll ask Mommy when we get home.”
