Love So Sweet

Chapter 368

368 Family Dinner

After picking up his little sister, Bai Qi drove back to Zhang’s residence.

When they arrived, Bai Qi helped Zhang Li Xue out of the vehicle before he pushed her wheelchair to the house. When they entered the house, Zhang Li Xue’s maternal grandmother, Liu Hui Lan came over to greet them.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw the couple. “Li Xue, Bai Qi, you’re here.” Then, her gaze fell on the little girl beside them. “Little Xi Xi, you’re here as well.”

“Grandma Liu, hello.” Bai Xi Xi greeted her politely. The little girl still remembered that she was supposed to help her brother win her Pretty Sister’s family over.

Liu Hui Lan waved for them to come into the house quickly. She called the auntie to help prepare some snacks for their guests.

“Li Xue, didn’t you go out with your brother?” Liu Hui Lan asked. “Why hasn’t he returned yet?”

“Yi Hai hasn’t returned?” Zhang Li Xue then recalled that she did not see the vehicle outside when they arrived. “We were separated after lunch. He should make a stop somewhere.”

Soon, Li Qin Yao walked into the living area. Seeing that her daughter had returned, Li Qin Yao was in a good mood. Instantly, her gaze fell on the ring on her daughter’s finger.

Li Qin Yao wanted to take a look. But, she still remembered that Zhang Li Xue’s grandparents were still unaware of what happened. She did not want to let them know the secret just yet.

.....

They were planning to make the announcement when everyone was gathered during dinner later.

“Aunt, hello.” Bai Xi Xi stood up straight and greeted her.

“Xi Xi, you’re here as well.” Li Qin Yao smiled. “I made the cookies that you liked from the last time. Later, you can take them home and have them with your brother, alright?”

Bai Xi Xi’s eyes lit up.

A while ago, she has been spending a few days at Zhang’s residence and Li Qin Yao was the one who looked after her. During that time, Bai Xi Xi sampled a few baked goods that Li Qin Yao had made and thought that everything tasted good.

Bai Xi Xi thought about the cookies again and she was suddenly in a good mood. “Auntie, thank you.”

Li Qin Yao laughed. After saying a few words, she turned to her daughter and spoke, “Li Xue, come with me for a while.”

Zhang Li Xue glanced at Bai Qi. Then, the man pushed her wheelchair over.

“Bai Qi, take a seat first. I have something to talk to my daughter about.”

Bai Qi smiled. “I understand.” He could already guess what will the mother and daughter talk about.

While Zhang Li Xue and her mother were away, Bai Qi accompanied his sister and Liu Hui Lan for a chat.

Li Qin Yao pulled her daughter into the room and quickly looked at the ring on her daughter’s finger.

Zhang Li Xue’s face turned red when she noticed her mother’s enthusiasm. “Mommy...”

“This ring looks beautiful.” Li Qin Yao patted her daughter’s hand. “Bai Qi really has good taste.”

Zhang Li Xue smiled foolishly as she listened to his mother.

“Look at you.” Li Qin Yao pinched her daughter’s face. “See how happy you look now.”

“Mommy...” Zhang Li Xue continued to act coquettishly with her mother. “Stop teasing me.”

Li Qin Yao thought that the shy look on her daughter’s face was quite adorable. She wanted to tease her daughter a little bit more but in the end, she could only hold back.

The mother and daughter stayed in the room for a while to chat. Mostly, Li Qin Yao was digging for information from her daughter regarding Bai Qi’s proposal.

Hearing that Fang Su Jin had recorded the proposal made her smile.

Li Qin Yao was planning to ask for a copy from Fang Su Jin later.

“Mommy, my grandparents still don’t know about it?”

Li Qin Yao nodded. “I only mentioned this to your father. We’ll announce the news to them during dinner.”

Once Li Qin Yao was satisfied with her daughter’s answers, she finally let her go.

As they came out of the room again, Li Qin Yao found that Bai Qi was chatting with Zhang Li Xue’s grandfather amiably. A faint sigh escaped her as she saw this scene. Fortunately, Bai Qi was able to get along with everyone in the family well.

After a while, Zhang Yi Hai finally returned to the residence.

As it was approaching dinner, Li Qin Yao finally made an arrangement for them to head over to the restaurant that she had booked earlier.

Zhang Yu Han was still busy with work after the accident and will be heading to the restaurant on his own.

Seeing that everyone else was an elder, Li Qin Yao had arranged for them to head over to the restaurant in two cars. Zhang Yi Hai and Bai Qi will both drive everyone.

After twenty minutes on the road, the family finally arrived at the restaurant. Bai Qi helped Zhang Li Xue with her wheelchair while Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yi Hai were helping the elders to the restaurant.

The server greeted them at the door before leading them to the private room.

When they walked in, Zhang Yu Ying and her family had just arrived.

Seeing her family, Zhang Yu Ying quickly greeted everyone along with her husband and the triplets.

Zhang Yu Ying swept her gaze around the room and noticed that her brother was not around. She turned to Li Qin Yao and spoke, “Sister-in-law, is my brother not coming?”

“Yu Han was still busy with his work,” Li Qin Yao said. “But, I already spoke to him on our way here. He should be arriving soon.”

After the accident in H City, Zhang Yu Han has been busy with work and legal matters.

In a few days, Zhang Yi Hai and the triplets would be heading back to their campus. Meanwhile, Zhang Li Xue’s paternal grandparents will be heading back to C Country. It was not easy for everyone to gather around. Now that Zhang Li Xue was safe from that accident, they should get together for a family dinner.
