Love So Sweet

83 A Gift

Under her family’s care, Zhang Li Xue was able to recuperate well at home. These days, her main job was to rest and eat on time.

Ever since she had scared her father with her gastric problem, her parents would ensure that she would eat on time. Her mother would sit by her side, watching her eat.

Zhang Li Xue thought that she was starting to gain some weight. Too much resting was making her lazy. She was starting to miss practicing basketball. But because she had surgery a while ago, Zhang Li Xue could only watch as her brother and the triplets practiced their games.

A deep sigh escaped her. Why does it seem that she would often get herself injured these days?

“Li Xue, are you feeling alright?” Li Mu Bai, her mother’s elder cousin, asked as he walked into the room.

“Uncle Mu Bai, I’m feeling alright,” Zhang Li Xue spoke.

After her surgery, her close family and friends would come over to visit her. Although it was tiring, it was a good feeling to know that there were a lot of people who cared for her.

“According to my Daddy, I can go back to work next week.”

“Mmm...” Li Mu Bai gave the girl a look over. “You look like you’re healthy enough. It seemed that you are recovering well at home.”

.....

Zhang Li Xue pinched a spot on her waist. “Uncle Mu Bai, do you think that I have gained some weight as well?”
Li Mu Bai chuckled. “That’s not what I meant. Your cheek is rosier. You look healthier.”

Zhang Li Xue pinched her cheek, wondering if she had gotten plumper. A deep sigh escapes her. It seemed that once she had recovered, she will have to exercise a lot to keep in shape.

Forget it. She was not going to think about her weight at this time.

“Uncle Mu Bai, I heard from my mommy that you had acquired the land on the east side of the city,” Zhang Li Xue quickly changed the subject to distract her thoughts from her weight. “Is it going well?

His lips curled into a smile. “This is the reason that I come over to look for you as well,” Li Mu Bai spoke. “Li Xue, I have something to discuss with you and your brother.”

Noticing the seriousness in her uncle’s voice, Zhang Li Xue quickly sat up. “What’s the matter? Should we wait for my brother to come back and talk to him?”

“No. It’s fine. I will talk to him separately.” Li Mu Bai sat down and took out a few documents in his bag. “This is for you.”

Zhang Li Xue took the papers and read the contents. Her brow furrowed as she ad the documents. “Uncle Mu Bai, this is the property on the east side?”

“Uh-huh.”

Her gaze moved to look at the name on the paper. “This is... for me?”

The smile on his face widened. “Uh-huh. I was going to give it to your mother. But she suggested giving it to you siblings. Once the development is completed, the house will be yours. It would take at least another half a year before the construction will be completed.” Li Mu Bai tapped his finger on his chin. Then, his lips turned into a teasing smile. “Let’s just say that this house would be an early gift for your marriage.”

Zhang Li Xue was glad that she was not drinking some water. Otherwise, she would definitely spew them upon hearing her uncle’s words.

“Uncle Mu Bai, don’t tease me.” Zhang Li Xue’s cheek turned redder.

What marriage? At this time, it was hard for her to date anyone with her bodyguards keeping their eyes on her. Zhang Li Xue even suspected that once she had found someone she like, she will have to have an underground relationship and hide from her family.

Li Mu Bai laughed when he saw the look on the girl’s face. “Your brother will also get one.”

Zhang Li Xue looked at the documents again. The more she look at it, the more she was in disbelief. She had looked at the development plan in the east part of the city. She knew well that the property over there was expensive.

“Isn’t this too much?” Zhang Li Xue was still uncertain.

“Your mother is also a shareholder of the company. It’s not too much for each of you to get a property,” Li Mu Bai said.

At this time, her mother walked into the room and sat next to her. “Li Xue, you can take the papers and sign them. Your father and I had already checked the documents. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Mommy, are you sure it’s alright to give it to me?”

Li Qin Yao chuckled. “What’s wrong with giving my children my property? Your father and I already have enough. Anyway, in the future, everything will belong to you and your brother.” A faint smile crossed her lips. “This is also good. When you need a place to clear your mind, you can always stay in this place.”

Her lips curled into a teasing smile. She inched closer and whispered, “Mommy, you just want me and Yu Hai to stay away from home so you can be alone with my Daddy, right?”

Li Qin Yao narrowed her eyes at her daughter. She couldn’t help herself from wanting to pinch her on the cheek.

After looking at the documents for a while, Zhang Li Xue finally signed the documents.

Li Mu Bai stayed at the house for dinner. Zhang Li Xue watched as her uncle teased her brother with the house for his wedding and laughed happily.

However, that brother of hers did not show any reaction. After listening to her mother’s words, the boy signed the documents without saying anything much. It made her wonder just how would her brother going to treat her girlfriend once he found someone he liked. Perhaps, his girlfriend would have to suffer with his stiff look.

After her uncle had returned, Zhang Li Xue went upstairs into her room. She checked her phone and saw that there were a few text messages from her friends.

Now that she had recovered and could continue living a normal life for a few days, Zhang Li Xue had suddenly thought of someone. She still owed someone a meal, didn’t she?
