Love So Sweet

223 Do You Really Like Him?

Li Qin Yao did not say a lot of things to the couple. After all, the two of them had only started dating.

Throughout their meal, Li Qin Yao continued to observe Bai Qi and was satisfied with the way he had treated her daughter.

In her eyes, she could see the pampering look in Bai Qi’s eyes whenever he looked at her daughter.

Looking at the silly smile on her daughter’s face gave her a sense of relief. As long as the couple liked each other and as long as Bai Qi had good character and morale, she would agree to this relationship.

The naughty pranks he pulled off when he was young or his current finances were something that she did not look at.

However, Li Qin Yao was also worried for the couple. With Bai Qi’s profession as a doctor, it would mean that there were times that he would not be able to be by her daughter’s side. Moreover, he still has a little sister that he has to raise by himself.

In Li Qin Yao’s opinion, Bai Qi’s status was almost like a single father with young children.

As the meal was nearing its end, Bai Qi left the room to take a call.

Li Qin Yao drank some water calmly before turning to her daughter. A helpless sigh escaped her as she saw the worried look on her daughter’s face.

.....

“Mommy, what do you think about Bai Qi?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

She liked Bai Qi and wanted to hear her mother’s approval.

In the future, it would be difficult to convince her father that she was dating Bai Qi. However, if her mother approved of this relationship, convincing her father would not be that difficult, right?

“Do you really like him?”

Her mother’s sudden question made her cheek turn redder. Zhang Li Xue was still very shy. However, she still nodded and spoke, “Mommy, I really like him.”

“Dating someone in his profession isn’t going to be easy, you know?”

“I know. In the beginning, he had also warned me that his priorities will be on his patients,” Zhang Li Xue said. “But I told him that I would still want to see just how far this relationship can go. He’s really good to me. Even though he was busy, I know that Bai Qi would always make time for me.”

Whenever he was taking a break, Bai Qi did not forget to find her. The two of them would talk a lot on the phone, or exchange text messages.

When he was about to get busy with some emergencies, he would often alert her, just so that she would not be anticipating his text or call.

Zhang Li Xue was already satisfied with his current performance.

“He still has a little sister that he has to look after,” Li Qin Yao reminded her. “You didn’t mind it?”

“Un. I don’t mind it.” Zhang Li Xue said. “I met her a few times. Xi Xi is such a sweet girl. She was a pitiful girl, to grow up without her parents. However, she was very sensible and mature at her age.”

Li Qin Yao could see that her daughter really liked Bai Qi. She drank some water to compose her thoughts. “Bai Qi seemed like a good person.”

Zhang Li Xue’s eyes lit up when she heard her mother’s words.

“As long as you know what you are doing, Mommy would not have any objection to it,” Li Qin Yao said. “The two of you are still dating. Then, use this time to get to know him well. However, you still have to know to protect yourself, understand?”

Zhang Li Xue held her mother’s hand and buried her face in her arm. “Mommy, I know.”

A faint smile curled on her lips. Li Qin Yao raised her hand and patted her daughter on her head. The daughter who would always stick to her since she was born finally had a boyfriend. It was still unbelievable for her.

“I won’t tell your dad about this matter,” Li Qin Yao said. “However, once you are ready, you still have to tell him yourself, you know?”

Zhang Li Xue raised her head and looked at her mother with worry.

She knew her father well and had seen how he drove away a few boys who wanted to pursue her. Since she was not interested in them, Zhang Li Xue naturally did not mind.

But, Bai Qi was someone that she liked. Therefore, she is worried that her father would do something to drive him away.

Li Qin Yao saw the look on her daughter’s face and laughed. “What are you afraid of? Your father would not eat a person. Don’t worry. Whatever it is that your father wants to do, I will make sure that he would not go overboard.”

Li Qin Yao did not have a problem if her husband wanted to test Bai Qi a little bit. Then, they could also see the boy’s sincerity towards their daughter.

Bai Qi paid for their meal. Then, he accompanied his girlfriend and sent Li Qin Yao to her car. After exchanging a few more words, the two of them watched as the elder woman drove away.

Once the car was no longer within their sight, Zhang Li Xue felt a warm arm sneaking around her waist. She looked up and saw that Bai Qi was looking at her. As their gazes met, Bai Qi lowered his head and pecked on her lips.

“Did your mother say anything?”

Bai Qi knew that when he stepped out of the room to take the call from the hospital, the mother and daughter would definitely have a brief talk about him.

Li Qin Yao did not say too much and Bai Qi was still worried about her opinion of him.

He liked his little fairy for a long time. He would be disheartened if Zhang Li Xue’s mother did not approve of their relationship.

A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. “She said, she will continue to watch your performance.”

Bai Qi raised a brow when he heard her words, and Zhang Li Xue began to laugh.

“Therefore, Doctor Bai, you have to treat me really well, you know?”
