Love So Sweet

Chapter 43: Our Next Teammate

The little girl did not hesitate to leave her hiding spot to drag Bai Qi into the house.

At this time, she could only think of her little brother. Zhang Li Xue wanted to introduce Bai Qi to her little brother and show him just how adorable her little brother is.

Zhang Yu Ying happened to witness the scene where her niece was holding hands with Bai Qi as she pulled him inside the house.

A sigh escaped her. Zhang Yu Ying scanned the room to locate her brother and was finally at ease when she saw that her brother was surrounded by their business partners. Zhang Yu Ying moved her body so that she would block her brother’s line of gaze.

Her brother, Zhang Yu Han loved his daughter dearly and often blocked boys around his daughter.

Zhang Yu Ying had lost count of just how many boys her brother had driven away before they could get close to his daughter.

That boy, Mu Zhen Yu might be an exception. The only reason her brother was unable to drive away that boy was because his wife was a good friend of that boy’s mother.



.....

Fortunately, her brother did not see his daughter running around the house with another boy. Otherwise, Bai Qi would definitely get himself into danger.

Zhang Yu Ying watched as her niece went over to the crib and chuckled.

“I already help you this much. Li Xue, Li Xue, in the future, you better be very nice to your auntie,” Zhang Yu Ying mumbled to herself.

“Why are you talking to yourself?”

Zhang Yu Ying jolted in surprise. She turned around and saw that her husband, Wei Jun Hao was standing behind her.

The man followed her line of gaze and saw that the little girl was beside the crib with a little boy. His eyes narrowed. Wei Jun Hao could not help but feel as if he had seen this boy before.

“Don’t mention this to my brother,” Zhang Yu Ying said.

“Li Xue’s friend?” Wei Jun Hao raised a brow.
“Uh-huh.”

Wei Jun Hao continued to watch the children for a while. Then, he turned to his wife with a lopsided smile on his face. “If Yu Han knows you’ve been keeping this secret from him, he would be angry.”

“This is why you should help me to keep this secret.” Zhang Yu Ying stared at her husband with puppy dog eyes.

The man had been chasing his wife for years before she agreed to date him and finally marry him. Wei Jun Hao was weak against his wife’s pleading look.

“We’ll pretend that we don’t know anything,” Wei Jun Hao said with a sigh. “But, why are you helping this boy? Is it worth the trouble?”

“I just thought that Li Xue should be allowed to have more friends.”

Wei Jun Hao clicked his tongue. “You just wanted to watch the fun.” He held his wife’s hand and spoke, “Let’s not speak about this. Now that your brother is well and your sister-in-law has given birth, we should continue our honeymoon. It’s been delayed for months.”

The couple was on their honeymoon when they suddenly received news that Zhang Yu Han had an accident and was in a coma for days.

They decided to return to be with the family.

Because Zhang Yu Han needed a long break to recuperate, Zhang Yu Ying decided to postpone her honeymoon so that she could handle the company’s business.

Zhang Yu Ying thought about his suggestion and finally nodded. “Alright. But, I want to wait until Li Xue’s test. Since I am her tutor, I should stay around and help her prepare for the test.”

“Alright.” Wei Jun Hao’s smile widened. “After Li Xue’s test, we will leave for our delayed honeymoon.”

Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of this trip. Because of her brother’s accident, Zhang Yu Ying has been staying at his house to help around. She was busy with a lot of things and did not get much time to be alone with her husband.

Thinking of their upcoming honeymoon made her a little excited.

Meanwhile, Zhang Li Xue was busy showing her friend her little brother. Seeing that her brother was sleeping soundly after drinking some milk made her sigh.

She wanted to poke his chubby cheek, but she was worried that it would disturb his sleep. Her mother had warned her not to disturb his sleep many times before.

According to her mother, babies need a lot of sleep. Otherwise, he would not be able to grow up quickly.

Zhang Li Xue had already aimed to make her brother join her basketball team when he grow up. She needed him to grow up tall and fast. This was the reason she had restrained herself from disturbing the sleeping baby.

“What do you think?” Zhang Li Xue looked at Bai Qi with an expectant look in her eyes. “Don’t you think that my brother is cute?”

Bai Qi turned to the little fairy and lowered his gaze. The tip of his ears turned red. “Un.” He nodded. “He’s cute.” Bai Qi stole another glance at the girl beside him.

No matter what, he still thought that Zhang Li Xue is cuter. Her smile could put him in a good mood. He liked the way her hair would bounce each time she moved around.

However, he did not dare to say these words out loud.

“Brother Bai Qi, I have decided,” Zhang Li Xue smiled. The glint in her eyes made her look adorable. “When my little brother grows up, I will teach him to play basketball. Then, he can join our team. He will be our next teammate. When the time comes, you have to look after him.”

Bai Qi turned to look at the sleeping baby again. He actually wanted to practice basketball with just Li Xue. He wanted the sport to be something that was just for the two of them.

However, if their next team member was her brother, then he would not mind it.

A shadow loomed over them as they continued to look at the baby. They both turned around at the same time and saw an elderly lady standing behind them.

“Grandma!” Bai Qi called.

Grandma Bai looked glanced at her grandson before she turned to Zhang Li Xue with a smile. “Are you Zhang Li Xue? Hello, I am Bai Qi’s grandmother.”

Her eyes lit up. “Hello, grandmother.” Zhang Li Xue greeted the older woman politely. This was the first time she saw Bai Qi’s grandmother. Zhang Li Xue thought that the woman seemed very nice.

“I’m sorry. But Bai Qi and I needed to leave now.” Grandma Bai shot an apologetic smile.

“It’s alright, Grandmother.” Zhang Li Xue turned to Bai Qi and smiled. “Brother Bai Qi, I will see you again at school, alright?

The little girl watched as her friend left the place. Just as she turned around again, Mu Zhen Yu had suddenly appeared beside her.

“Xiao Li Xue, I have been looking for you everywhere,” Mu Zhen Yu spoke. “I didn’t think that you would be hiding inside.”

He came a little later and did not see that the little girl has been with Bai Qi.

Zhang Li Xue bit her lips. There was a hint of guilt on her face. “Brother Zhen Yu, sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Mu Zhen Yu heaved a sigh. He was not willing to be angry with this girl. “Do you want to continue playing?”
