543 Test Her Mother’s Reaction
With two months left before the wedding, Zhang Li Xue was busy planning her wedding.
Now that Zhang Yi Hai had returned to Y City, Li Qin Yao asked her son to drive his sister around to settle her wedding.
Of course, Zhang Yi Hai would take this opportunity to go on a date with his girlfriend.
Seeing the couple together made Zhang Li Xue a little jealous. It was good to see that her best friend and her little brother were happy. However, the two of them continued to flirt around her, acting as if she did not exist.
It was a weekend morning. Zhang Li Xue walked out of her room and saw her mother in the living room, staring at the television with a dazed look in her eyes.
Zhang Li Xue walked over to her mother and touched her shoulder. “Mommy, what are you doing?”
Li Qin Yao came back to her senses and smiled upon seeing her daughter. It was then that she realized that the television was turned on, but she was no longer watching it.
“Mommy, what are you thinking about?” Zhang Li Xue asked when her mother did not answer.
“Nothing much. It’s just that your brother was asking about the house that your Uncle Mu Bai had given to you guys earlier.”
.....
“The one that Bai Qi and I were living in now?”
“Mmm...” Li Qin Yao nodded. “Last time, your uncle gave you one each an apartment. Your brother’s apartment was a few blocks away. I just thought that it was strange when he started to ask about it.”
Zhang Li Xue frowned as she thought about the apartment. A thought came to her mind and she had to lower her face to hide her smile.
As someone who had the experience to sneak around to date her husband, Zhang Li Xue probably understood what her brother was trying to do.
“Mommy, isn’t it good that Yi Hai is looking at the apartment? It wouldn’t be good to leave the apartment empty.” Zhang Li Xue looked at her mother and suddenly thought of something. A faint smile appeared on her lips. Zhang Li Xue sat beside her mother and hugged her arms tightly. “Mommy, could it be you are worried that my brother is going to move out?”
Li Qin Yao halted. She looked at her daughter and sighed. “The two of you are all grown up now. Sooner or later, you are going to leave me and your dad alone,”
When she and Zhang Yu Han moved to this large house, they planned to let their child run around the house.
These days, Zhang Li Xue, Bai Qi, and Bai Xi Xi were living with them because of Li Xue’s injury.
Once her injury was healed, her daughter would definitely move out with her husband.
Later, if Zhang Yi Hai found someone and get married, he would probably move out as well.
Thinking about this made her feel a bit lonely.
Her mother’s words made her a little teary-eyed. Zhang Li Xue leaned her head on her mother’s shoulder and spoke, “What are you saying? Mommy, I will accompany you for a long, long time until you and daddy get bored of me..”
Li Qin Yao smiled as she looked at her daughter. “What are you talking about? How can we get bored of you?”
Her daughter was always mischievous. Li Qin Yao thought that it was always lively with Zhang Li Xue around.
“Maybe I need to plan ahead,” Li Qin Yao said. “When the two of you got married, I will ask your dad to bring me on a trip around the world. By that time, you should be able to look after the company, right?”
Zhang Li Xue sighed. “It’s still too early for that. There is still a lot for me to learn from my dad.”
These days, Zhang Li Xue was working under her father to learn more about hotel management. It was definitely not easy to be a big boss with a lot of staff. Moreover, their hotel chain also had a few branches in other countries.
“But Mommy, you probably did not have to worry too much,” Zhang Li Xue said. “My brother probably isn’t thinking about moving out so soon.”
Of course, Zhang Li Xue knew that her brother was only looking for a place to date her girlfriend and stay away from others’ eyes.
“Oh?” Li Qin Yao looked at her daughter with a teasing smile. “Li Xue, could it be that you know something? Your brother... could it be that he’s seeing someone?”
Zhang Li Xua giggled.
Even if she did know something, she would not be able to tell her mother anything. After all, this was Zhang Yi Hai’s secret that she was trying to hide.
“Mommy, Yi Hai had just returned to Y City. He probably wants to find a place for his company. Perhaps he’s going to turn the apartment into his office.”
Li Qin Yao thought about her daughter’s words and thought that it does make sense.
It would not be comfortable for her son to do his job at the house. After all, he will need a bigger space for his computer.
Zhang Li Xue observed her mother’s face and spoke, “Mommy, how would you feel if Yi Hai already have a girlfriend?” Zhang Li Xue coughed upon seeing the inquiring look on her mother’s face. “I’m just asking. Mommy, you don’t have to be so serious.”
“Your brother is already an adult. It’s fine if he already sees someone.”
Zhang Li Xue thought that this was a good time to test her mother’s reaction. “Then, you wouldn’t be surprised if he suddenly bring home a girlfriend?”
“Of course, not. As long as your brother liked that girl, I would not mind it. Anyway, the person who will accompany him until he gets old is that girl. But, it’s better if he introduced his girlfriend to me sooner.” Li Qin Yao gave her daughter a side look. “Unlike someone who chose to hide that she’s dating.”
Zhang Li Xue was aware that her mother was talking about her. “Mommy, what are you talking about? The last time anyone wanted to get close to me, my brother and father would always chase everyone away. I’m just afraid that they are going to chase Bai Qi away as well.”
Li Qin Yao laughed. “Then, are you planning to get back to your brother?”
Zhang Li Xue imagined chasing away Fang Su Jin and laughed. Of course, she did not have the heart to do it. She liked Fang Su Jin and thought that it was fine if her brother dated her best friend.
“Of course, not. I believe that my brother will have good taste.”
