Chapter 224



The couple was holding hands as they were on the street. They went to see a movie and took a walk in the park.

It was a rare chance for them to have a date like this.

The two of them went to see the property agent take a look at a few properties.

After going to look at the third apartment, the agent finally left the couple to discuss their choices.

Zhang Li Xue sneaked her arms around Bai Qi’s waist and looked him in the eyes. “What do you think? Which one did you like best?” She swept her gaze around the place and spoke, “I think, this place is quite good. The security is better. At least, Xi Xi would be safer when you are not around.”

Seeing that Bai Qi was not answering her, Zhang Li Xue turned to look at the man again. Their gazes met and heat crept on her face.

The way Bai Qi was looking at her was making her shy.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

.....

Bai Qi did not answer. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly and kissed the top of her head. “Li Xue, thank you.”

Zhang Li Xue stared back at him in puzzlement. “What are you thanking me for?”

Bai Qi continued to stare at her for a long time. There was a glint of gentleness in his eyes.

How can he not notice that Zhang Li Xue had considered a lot of things before she suggested the places for him and his sister to live in?

The apartments she chose were within an acceptable distance of the hospital as well as Bai Xi Xi’s new school. The security was among the best and the neighborhood seemed friendly. He would not have to worry much to leave his sister while he was working the night shift.

He had not told her yet about the investment that he had made with He Rong. Therefore, the apartments that Zhang Li Xue had chosen were quite affordable with his income.

Bai Qi almost could not believe that the rent for the apartment would be within his budget.

“As compared to the other apartments, this one seemed to be more convenient for Xi Xi,” Bai Qi said. “However, I wondered if there’s any problem with the place. The rent is a bit cheap for the location, don’t you think?”

Zhang Li Xue smiled. “I told you that my mother used to be in the property business. She still had a few friends in this field. The agency had promised to help and get a good deal.”

The smile on his lips remained. Bai Qi could not help thinking that it was very fortunate for him to meet with Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi did not make an immediate decision regarding the apartments. He still wanted to go back and discuss this matter with his little sister. After all, it would be the place where the two of them going to live.

As Zhang Li Xue was not driving her car, Bai Qi took this chance to send her back home in a taxi.

Once they arrived, the two of them sat in the car for a while.

The couple exchanged a few words and a quick kiss before Zhang Li Xue finally alighted.

She did not dare to stay in the car for a long time as she was worried that her father might notice the car parked outside and see her boyfriend.

Moreover, the driver was still around. Although she liked Bai Qi very much, she would be too shy to do anything too intimate in front of others.

Bai Qi watched as his girlfriend’s silhouette disappeared into the house before he finally asked the driver to drive away.

As Zhang Li Xue entered the house, she ran into her mother in the living room.

Looking in the direction where her mother had emerged, Zhang Li Xue had a feeling that her mother has been looking out the window when the taxi pulled over in front of the house.

“Mommy.” Zhang Li Xue’s cheek turned pink as she wondered if her mother would see anything she shouldn’t.

Looking at the face as if she had done something guilty made Li Qin Yao smile.

She was also young once. Li Qin Yao also understood the feeling of unwilling to part from her lover. It was not hard for her to understand the reason the taxi was parked outside longer than it should have.

“Did Bai Qi send you home?” Li Qin Yao asked.

“Mommy...” Zhang Li Xue swept her gaze around the area, worried that her father would suddenly emerge. If her father heard the name, he would definitely ask about Bai Qi.

“Don’t worry. Your father isn’t at home yet,” Li Qin Yao said. “He went out to meet your Uncle Ming Wei to discuss a few things. He’s going to be a bit late today.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved a breath of relief. A while later, she started to worry again.

Uncle Qi Ming Wei was in the military.

Although her father was mostly involved in the hotel industry, Zhang Li Xue was aware that her father would sometimes her Uncle Qi Ming Wei with his business.

Her uncle usually dealt with dangerous business. Zhang Li Xue often worried that her father would be involved in such matters.

“Did you and Bai Qi go to look at the apartments?”

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Bai Qi said, he’s going to go back and discuss with his sister before he could make his decision.”

“Actually, if he wasn’t interested in any of those apartments, there is another place that he can consider,” Li Qin Yao said. A smile curled on her lips. “The building is new and the amenities around were quite good. It was just that... the place is slightly farther from the hospital.”

“Mommy, you know another place?” Zhang Li Xue asked. “I could suggest the place to him and let him consider.”

“Li Xue, don’t you remember that your Uncle Mu Bai gave you and your brother an apartment on the west side of the city?” Li Qin Yao said.
