Love So Sweet

268 For His Daughter

Zhang Yu Han sat alone as he tried to compose his thought after hearing his daughter’s dating news.

After that young man appeared, Zhang Yu Han could see that his wife and his parents were protecting that man as well as his daughter. His friends were telling him that it was alright for Li Xue to have a boyfriend.

However, other than Qi Zheng, none of them had a daughter. Qi Zheng’s daughter was still in school. Therefore, none of them could relate to his feelings.

This made Zhang Yu Han frustrated but had no way to vent his feelings.

Zhang Yu Han was itching to take another drink, but when he recalled that his wife did not like the smell that much, he could only restrain himself.

A long, heavy sigh escaped him.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over him.

Zhang Yu Han looked up and saw that his daughter was standing in front of him with a plate of barbecued food in her hand.

“Daddy, you haven’t eaten that much.” Zhang LI Xue sat down. “You always nagged me when I skipped my meals and now, you’re doing almost the same. I brought you some food, you have to eat them, alright?”

.....

His gaze fell on the chicken wings on the plate. Then, a faint smile curled on his lips. “Alright.”

He wiped his hand with a wipe and began to nibble on the food. Then, he swept his gaze around the place and saw that the boys were sitting around Bai Qi. With his son and the triplets around, Zhang Yu Han was more at ease.

When he looked at his daughter again, Zhang Yu Han saw that the girl was watching him cautiously. It seemed like she had something to say to him, but was too scared to say them out loud.

Zhang Yu Han heaved a long sigh. He put down the plate on his lap and spoke, “Alright. What is it that you’re going to tell me?”

“Daddy.” Zhang Li Xue hesitated. She waited for her father to look at her and spoke, “You... don’t like Bai Qi?”

Zhang Yu Han pursed his lips. “Why do you think that way?”

“Well, you certainly did not look too happy when I introduced him.” She lowered her gaze to hide the hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Zhang Yu Han stared at his daughter’s face for a long time. He could see that the girl was upset that he did not give her the warm welcome that she had expected.

“It’s not that I don’t like him,” Zhang Yu Han spoke. “But Li Xue, this is the first time you have brought home someone and introduced him as your boyfriend. To tell you the truth, I still did not know how I feel about this. You have to give me time to process this information.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh. Hearing that it was not because his father did not like Bai Qi made her feel more at ease.

The girl stared at his father for a long time before she spoke again, “Daddy, I like him very much. This is also the first time that I have liked someone this much.”

Zhang Yu Han could not explain the stifling feeling in his heart when he heard her confession.

“And you’re my daddy,” Zhang Li Xue continued. “A very important person to me. Of course, I hope that you will give your approval and blessings.”

Without her parents’ approval and blessings, she would not be happy. They were the people who had raised her. Of course, their opinion would matter to her.

Zhang Yu Han’s feelings were rather complicated.

But he realized that his daughter valued his opinion very much.

Just look at how anxious she was while she was introducing that man to him. Zhang Yu Han could see that his daughter was really afraid that he would reject that man before even trying to get to know him.

After a long time, Zhang Yu Han finally let out a sigh. “Well, since you like him, then, I will try to get to know him first.”

Seeing how fast her lips bloomed into a smile made him laugh.

Zhang Li Xue rushed over to sit beside her father. She wrapped her arms around his body and leaned on his shoulder. “Daddy, thank you.”

Was she that happy to hear that he was willing to give that man a chance?

Zhang Yu Han decided to put aside his feeling for his daughter.

“That young man... he’s the doctor who was looking after you when you were admitted for appendicitis?”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded enthusiastically.

“So, that was why he seemed a little familiar,” Zhang Yu Han said. “He is also the person who helped you when you sprained your ankle at Huan Huan’s wedding, right?”

“Un. Daddy, you remembered him.” There was a hint of laughter in her voice.

Zhang Li Xue was elated. In her opinion, her father’s opinion towards Bai Qi shouldn’t be too bad. Otherwise, he would not remember Bai Qi that well.

“Well, Bai Qi is a doctor.” Zhang Li Xue decided to talk a bit about her boyfriend and let her father have a good impression of him. “He’s also Uncle Qi Zheng’s student.”

Zhang Yu Han narrowed his eyes. “Qi Zheng’s student?”

Unfortunately, Zhang Li Xue failed to notice the dangerous glint in her father’s eyes. The girl continued to tell her father about how she met Bai Qi again at the hospital.

Qi Zheng’s student?

He had almost forgotten that Qi Zheng had introduced Bai Qi as his student when Zhang Li Xue was admitted to the hospital.

Was that how they developed their feelings?

Zhang Yu Han narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he will have a long talk with Qi Zheng after this.

Meanwhile, Qi Zheng who was busy roasting some marshmallows for his daughter suddenly felt cold air blowing on his neck. He stood up straight and looked around.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Qi Yue asked.

Qi Zheng shook his head and flashed a smile. “Nothing.” When his daughter looked away, Qi Zheng touched his neck and mumbled, “Maybe it’s just my imagination.”
