Love So Sweet

It seemed that other than the new year, it was rare for the family to gather around like this.

The adults were chatting happily while discussing what they should order.

Bai Xi Xi sat beside her brother and her Pretty Sister’s maternal grandmother, Xu Yilan. Grandma Xu was very kind to her, making her comfortable in the room.

This was the first time that she had dinner with a large number of people. Bai Xi Xi was feeling a little overwhelmed. The little girl was thinking that if her brother got married to her Pretty Sister, then, her family members would be more than just her brother.

The thought made Bai Xi Xi happy.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. A server pushed the door open and stepped aside.

Zhang Yu Han walked into the room in his business attire. The moment he stepped in, the room turned quiet for a few seconds.

Li Qin Yao stood up and walked over to her husband. “You’re here.”

.....

The man smiled at his wife. “Am I late?”

“No.” Li Qin Yao laughed. “We just ordered some food.”

The couple walked to the table. As they came closer, Zhang Yu Han’s gaze fell on his daughter. Then, his gaze shifted to Bai Qi. Zhang Yu Han recalled the news that his wife had told him earlier that day and nodded to the young man.

Bai Qi was feeling slightly anxious when he saw his future father-in-law walk into the room, but seeing him nod finally put his heart at ease.

Zhang Li Xue turned to Bai Qi and chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you still worried?” When her father entered the room, Zhang Li Xue could feel Bai Qi’s hand tightening around hers.

“Of course,” Bai Qi whispered back. “Li Xue, your father’s eyes are a little scary.”

“Really?” Zhang Li Xue laughed. “But, I got my father’s eyes. Do you think I look a little scary as well?”

Bai Qi stared into her eyes and thought that the girl’s eyes really resembled her father’s. Whenever she was frowning especially, the two looked very similar.

“Of course, not, ” Bai Qi said. “Even though your eyes resemble your father, you still look like a little fairy to me.”

Zhang Li Xue had a sheepish smile on her face She especially like it when Bai Qi called her his little fairy.

Soon, the server walked into the room again and started to serve the food.

The family ate happily while chatting about this and that.

It was the first time that Bai Qi and his little sister joined the Zhang family’s meal. But, as everyone already knew each other, no one felt left out.

Seeing that it was time for dessert, Zhang Yu Han cleared his throat. His lips tilted up to a smile as everyone had their attention on him.

“Everyone, thank you for coming over to this dinner,” Zhang Yu Han began. “It has been a long time since we are all gathered like this. I especially wanted to thank everyone for your help when Li Xue was in that accident.”

“Brother, what are you saying?” Zhang Yu Ying spoke. “We are family. Of course, we would come whenever one of us is in trouble.”

“Your sister is right,” Zhang Xi spoke. “We don’t need a fancy dinner like this for you to thank us. We’re family.”

Zhang Yu Han smiled. He had guessed that everyone had thought that this dinner was held to thank them for helping him during that crisis.

“Actually, there is another reason why we are all gathered here,” Zhang Yu Han continued. He saw that everyone was looking at him inquiringly and turned to his daughter. “Li Xue seemed to have something to announce.”

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze shifted to Zhang Li Xue, making her anxious.

“Sister, what is it?” Wei Zi Ming, the eldest of the triplets asked.

Zhang Li Xue swept her gaze around shyly. Taking a deep breath, she then made the announcement. “Earlier today...” She glanced at the man beside her and felt his hand gripping hers tightly. “Bai Qi proposed to me.”

Gasps filled the room.

Then, Zhang Li Xue raised her hand and showed the ring on her finger. “I already said yes.”

There was a brief silence in the room before everyone congratulated the couple.

Zhang Yu Ying stood up and walked over to her niece to check on the ring on her finger. She has been watching and shipping the couple from a young age. Of course, Zhang Yu Ying was happy that the two of them got together.

“Yu Han, I didn’t expect you to agree easily,” Wei Jun Hao spoke. “I thought that you were going to make things difficult for Bai Qi.”

Wei Jun Hao could still remember just how difficult it was to marry his wife. Back then, Zhang Yu Han had given him all sorts of conditions before he could agree to let him marry Zhang Yu Ying.

Of course, Zhang Yu Han had his reason when he was making things hard for Wei Jun Hao.

One is his sister and the other one is his best friend. He did not want Wei Jun Hao to be half-hearted about dating or marrying his sister.

“Then, today’s dinner could be considered as their engagement celebration,” Lui Hui Lan spoke. “This is great.” Everyone was present and Zhang Li Xue was already wearing the ring.

At the side, Zhang Xi was watching the lively atmosphere with a smile on his face. Seeing his son had already accepted Bai Qi made him think of another thing.

“Then, Bai Qi,” Zhang Xi spoke. “When are you two planning to get married?”

Suddenly, the room turned quiet again and all eyes were on Bai Qi and Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi glanced at Zhang Li Xue and spoke, “Grandfather, let’s talk about this again when Li Xue’s injury has fully recovered.”

Zhang Xi looked at his granddaughter and agreed that a wedding should be held once she had fully recovered. Every woman wanted to look the prettiest during her wedding. Zhang Xi knew that his granddaughter was the same.

“Since everyone is here, why don’t we discuss the kids’ wedding first,” Zhang Xi said. “After all...” He glanced at his wife. “Your mother and I are going back to C Country after this.”
