Love So Sweet

283 Thinking about Marriage

Dinner with Zhang’s family was harmonious.

It was not easy for them to gather around.

Li Qin Yao continued to urge everyone to eat more. Her attention was on the young Bai Xi Xi. It seemed that it has been a while since there was a young child around the house and Li Qin Yao was worried that the little girl would be uncomfortable.

As the host, she tried her best to make the little girl feel more welcome.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu Han had played a match against Bai Qi earlier and was quite pleased with his skill. While they were eating their dinner, the two men continued to talk about some techniques and skills.

The Zhang couple were preoccupied and because of this, none of them noticed that their daughter sat there quietly.

Zhang Li Xue ate her meal quietly. Once in a while, she would glance at Bai Qi before she would lower her gaze again.

Her thoughts were filled with his question earlier. But the more she thought about it, the more that her face would turn red.

She did not pay attention to what she was eating. Everything she ate tasted almost the same. They were very sweet.

.....

Zhang Li Xue began to think of her relationship with Bai Qi again.

The two of them haven’t got together for too long. Was it appropriate to start thinking about marriage now?

But... she also wanted to be with him all the time. Waiting for him to get home from work. Then, spending their time together without thinking of going back home. Watching his handsome face before going to sleep and seeing his face again the first time she woke up in the morning.

However, she was also aware that marriage isn’t simply about getting together.

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Qi again and decided that she will have to talk to a few people that she trusted.

After dinner, Zhang Li Xue accompanied Bai Xi Xi for a short walk in the garden before letting the little girl sit to watch the television.

Her father was in the study with Bai Qi.

Seeing her father’s attitude towards Bai Qi during their meal, Zhang Li Xue knew that she could stop worrying about the two of them.

Then, she went to the kitchen and found her mother arranging some cutleries in the cupboard. She walked over and started to help her mother a bit.

Zhang Li Xue swept her gaze around the room. Seeing that the auntie was far away, she then turned to her mother cautiously. “Mommy.”

“Hmm?” Li Qin Yao glanced at her daughter. “I thought you were taking Xi Xi to walk around the garden.”

“Xi Xi seemed tired,” Zhang Li Xue said. “I let her watch the television. Dad is still with Bai Qi in his study.”

Li Qin Yao nodded. After a while, she began to notice the look on her daughter’s face. “What is it? Li Xue, you have something to say?”

Zhang Li Xue bit her lips as she hesitated. “I was just thinking...” She looked at her mother anxiously. “Back then, what made you say yes to my dad’s proposal?”

Her movement halted. Li Qin Yao stared at her daughter as a thought came to her mind. She recovered quickly and called the auntie to help her arrange the kitchen before pulling her daughter to another side.

“Mommy?” Zhang Li Xue was a little puzzled by her mother’s sudden act. “What’s wrong?”

She had asked a question. Why did her mother suddenly drag her away?

Li Qin Yao looked at her daughter again with her eyes lit up. “Li Xue, don’t tell me that Bai Qi had proposed to you?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Li Xue had never thought that her mother would be able to guess what was going on in her heart.

“Mommy...” She suddenly did not know how to face her mother. Seeing that her mother was still waiting for her reply, she then decided to explain. “He hasn’t proposed. But he did mention it and wanted to know my opinion about it.”

Li Qin Yao nodded. “That’s true. Bai Qi already met your family. It made sense if he started to think about marriage.”

“Mmm... I like him. It’s just that... I haven’t thought about marriage yet.”

Li Qin Yao looked at her daughter again.

She could still remember giving birth to this girl. Her daughter would cry whenever she was not around. The sticky little girl is all grown up and was already thinking of marriage.

Her lips curled into a faint smile. “When your dad proposed to me... he did not give me a long time to think about it. He proposed and I thought that this man is quite reliable and cared about me a lot. So, I agreed. Who would have thought that the next day, he would gather your grandmother and great-grandfather together and announce that we will be getting married? A few days later, we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got our certificate.”

Her father just dragged her mother to get their certificate?

Zhang Li Xue was speechless. She did not think that her father would be that domineering.

“I didn’t know your father for a long time before we decided to get together,” Li Qin Yao continued. “But I like how he was always caring towards me. I saw that he would always try to protect me. He made me feel safe.”

Zhang Li Xue thought about it again. She also thought that Bai Qi would make her feel safe. She can feel that he loved her a lot.

“Li Xue, I think Bai Qi is a good person,” Li Qin Yao said. Her lips curled into a smile. “You are already big enough to decide whether you wanted to get married. You are my daughter. I trust you. You just have to know that whatever decision you make, I will always be there to support you.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at her mother cautiously. “Even if I make a wrong decision?”

Li Qin Yao chuckled. “We are all human. There is nothing wrong with making a wrong decision. But, if that happened, your family will always be there to help you to make things right.”

Her heart warmed. Listening to her mother’s words made her feel like crying.
