Love So Sweet

Chapter 248



Uncle Qi Ming Wei and his wife who were supposed to be in Capital City were surprisingly presented. At the side, her Uncle Feng An Yu and his wife were seated together with Uncle Su Ming Yuan.

They were all her father’s friends who often accompany him to play basketball in his high school.

Except for Uncle Lin Xiao Feng, it seemed that everyone else was present.

Zhang Li Xue was aware that her uncles were watching Bai Qi. She wanted to hide her boyfriend away, but the group of men’s gaze was making her anxious.

They were the people who had watched her grow up. Among her father’s friends, there were only a few of them who had daughters. Therefore, her uncles cared and spoiled her a little too much.

“Li Xue, you are here,” Zhang Yu Ying came out of the kitchen with Su Ming Yuan’s wife beside her. She walked over to her niece and flashed a smile at both Zhang Li Xue and Bai Qi. “Li Xue, I’m sorry.” Zhang Yu Ying held her niece’s hands tightly. “They heard that you would be coming with Bai Qi and insisted to stay.”

Zhang Yu Ying shot a look at her husband, the culprit who had accidentally mentioned Bai Qi’s visit to their place tonight.

“Aunt, I know. Uncle Qi Zheng had already explained to me about this.”

.....

Even though she was unhappy with this ambush, there was nothing that she could say about it. Zhang Li Xue knew that the reason everyone was gathered was that they were worried about her.

Since everyone was already here, she might as well go with the flow.

Zhang Yu Ying shot an apologetic look at Bai Qi. Then, she led them forward and let Zhang Li Xue introduce her boyfriend to everyone.

Her aunties had a friendly look on their faces. Meanwhile, most of her uncles continued to have cold looks on their faces as they said their hellos to Bai Qi.

Of course, the scariest person around was no other than her Uncle Qi Ming Wei. The man was born and raised in a military family.

Zhang Li Xue was mostly afraid that her Uncle Qi Ming Wei would scare Bai Qi the most.

It seemed that what she was afraid of had come true.

“Qi Ming Wei, let’s not scare the boy,” Wei Jun Hao spoke. He was still feeling guilty after he had accidentally spoken about Bai Qi’s visit earlier.

Qi Ming Wei leaned over and flashed a smile that did not reach his eyes. “Bai Qi, are you scared of us?”

“No.” Bai Qi inhaled deeply. Although he thought that Qi Ming Wei was scary, he would not admit to it. He was here to give a good impression to his girlfriend’s uncles. He was not going to show his weakness now.

Bai Qi seemed to remember that Zhang Li Xue had once mentioned that this uncle was in the military. The Qi family had power and influence in the country.

Qi Ming Wei looked at Wei Jun Hao and smiled. “You see? He’s not scared.”

The corner of Wei Jun Hao’s lips began to twitch.

“We are all here to look at the person that Li Xue is dating,” Qi Ming Wei spoke. “There’s no need to be afraid of us.”

“You are right,” Feng An Yu agreed. He turned to Bai Qi and spoke. “We are only here to have a little chat with you. Don’t be afraid.”

Zhang Li Xue listened to her uncle’s words and suppressed the urge to cry.

Introducing Bai Qi to her uncles was already this scary. She could not imagine what will happen if she introduced her boyfriend to her father.

Would her father make it difficult for Bai Qi as well?

Zhang Yu Ying watched her guests and heaved a long breath. “Alright. Let’s go and have our dinner first. Otherwise, the food would get cold.” She shot a look at the men’s wives, hoping that they would coax their husbands.

Fortunately, no one seemed to object.

Zhang Yu Ying and Wei Jun Hao led everyone into the dining room and the food was quickly served.

While everyone was enjoying the meal, Zhang Li Xue stretched her hand and held Bai Qi’s hand under the table.

She could only hope that her uncles were not going to scare her boyfriend away.

Fortunately, everyone knew how to behave and did not cause any trouble at the dining table.

Zhang Li Xue saw that her uncles did not scare her boyfriend with their interrogation and finally breathed in relief. Gradually, she began to lower her guard.

However, she soon realized that she had fallen into their trap.

After the meal ended, Zhang Li Xue went into the kitchen to help her aunt with cutting some fruits. When she stepped out into the dining area again, Zhang Li Xue realized that Bai Qi and her uncles had disappeared.

Zhang Li Xue put down the plate of fruits on the table before turning around to look for them. However, before she could leave, her Aunt Yun Shu had already stopped her.

“Auntie Yun.” Zhang Li Xue looked at her anxiously. “Where are they?”

“Alright. Don’t panic.” Yun Shu tried to make Zhang Li Xue calm down. “They took Bai Qi out to talk to him. Don’t worry. Your Uncle Qi Zheng and Uncle Wei are with Bai Qi. They would not let the others go overboard.”

“Li Xue, come over and sit down.” Yang Ran, who was married to her Uncle Qi Ming Wei spoke. She flashed a smile and spoke. “I already warned your uncle not to go overboard. If something happened to Bai Qi, then, you can come and complain to me. I’ll punish your uncle for you.”

“Your Aunt Yang Ran is right,” Zhang Yu Ying spoke. “Li Xue, you have to believe in Bai Qi a little bit. Just consider this as a preparation before you introduce him to your father. If he could survive your uncle’s interrogation, surely Bai Qi could survive your father’s as well. Just have a little faith in him.”

Zhang Li Xue frowned as she stared at the door leading to the garden outside. She knew that her aunties were right, but she still could not help but worry...
