Love So Sweet

“Did you just come back?” Father Fang gave his daughter a lookover. Then, he peeked at the person behind her and the light in his lips lit up. “Hey, isn’t that Li Xue’s little brother?”

Fang Su Jin had a bad feeling when her father started to talk to Zhang Yi Hai.

Yesterday, Zhang Yi Hai also drove her back to her home.

When she arrived, her father was in the living room. Apparently, her father heard the sound of the vehicle outside and has been spying to see who it was.

As she stepped into the house, her father then asked her about the person who sent her back.

When she told her father that it was Zhang Yi Hai, her father has been especially upset that she did not invite him in.

Fang Su Jin then recalled how her father seemed to have a good chat with Zhang Yi Hai each time he came to her house with his sister.

Her father liked to talk about economics and such and he seemed to be enjoying talking to Zhang Yi Hai.

.....

Zhang Yi Hai nodded, “Hello, uncle.”

“You’re dropping Su Jin off?” The smile on Father Fang’s face went wide. “Thank you.”

“It’s no problem,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “Sister Fang has been helping my sister a lot.”

“That’s right. I heard from my daughter about your sister’s accident. We still haven’t had time to visit her,” Father Fang said. “How is she?”

“My sister is recovering well. Thank you for asking.”

Father Fang looked at the young man in the driver’s seat. “Why don’t you come in for a while? Coincidentally, Su Jin’s mom was baking some cake.”

Fang Su Jin’s face turned slightly pale upon hearing her father’s words. She should have known that her father was going to lure Zhang Yi Hai to accompany him to talk.

“Dad!” She tugged at her father’s sleeve. “Yi Hai is busy with other matters. Don’t disturb him.” Then, Fang Su Jin turned to Zhang Yi Hai and blinked, hoping that the man would understand her meaning.

Zhang Yi Hai smiled when he saw the anxious look on Fang Su Jin’s face. He could understand what Fang Su Jin was trying to say, but he pretended that he did not understand anything.

“Just ten minutes,” Father Fang continued to urge. “Have a cup of tea first before you go back.”

“This...” Zhang Yi Hai pretended to consider this matter. After a while, he nodded. “Then, I hope I would not be a disturbance.”

“Of course, not.” Father Fang laughed happily. He waved his hand and spoke, “Yi Hai, come in, come in.” He turned to his daughter and spoke. “I should go and tell your mother to prepare some snacks.”

Fang Su Jin watched as her father left and entered the house.

Then, Zhang Yi Hai turned off the ignition and alighted from the vehicle. He walked over to Fang Su Jin’s side and saw the unhappy look on her face.

“Sister Fang, what’s wrong?” Zhang Yi Hai asked.

“You could have rejected my father’s invitation,” Fang Su Jin said.

She had given him some hint to reject her father’s invitation but this man did not seem to understand it.

Zhang Yi Hai smiled when he saw the frustrated look on Fang Su Jin’s face. The pout on her face was a little adorable.

“But I can’t reject your father’s invitation after he had urged me to stay,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “I don’t want to be rude.”

Fang Su Jin pursed her lips. She still thought that Zhang Yi Hai could have left earlier but his words sounded reasonable.

It was her father who had urged him to have a cup of tea before he could go back.

“Sister Fang, could it be that you don’t like me staying over?”

Zhang Yi Hai’s question startled her.

Fang Su Jin raised her head and waved her hand. “It’s not like that. But Zhang Yi Hai, aren’t you busy with your sister’s preparation?”

“My sister is only going to get a marriage certificate tomorrow. It’s not as if she’s going to hold a wedding,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “There’s not anything to prepare.”

Fang Su Jin thought that his words made sense.

Zhang Li Xue only needed the groom and her household registration. Then, she could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a certificate.

The two of them walked into the house together.

As soon as Zhang Yi Hai entered the house, Father Fang quickly led him to the living area and drove his daughter away.

Fang Su Jin watched this scene and narrowed her eyes.

She was usually the apple of her father’s eye. But now that her father found someone he could talk to, he had conveniently discarded her away.

With aggrieved feeling, Fang Su Jin went to the kitchen to complain to her mother. As she arrived, her mother was busy packing up some cakes that she had baked earlier.

The scent of the cakes was too appetizing.

Fang Su Jin washed her hand and happily picked up the cakes. However, the moment she touched the cake, her mother slapped her hand away.

“What are you doing? This is for our guest.”

Fang Su Jin stared at her mother in frustration. “Mom, I wanted to taste a bit too.”

Her mother loves to bake and was quite good at it. The cakes she made were delicious.

“If you want a taste, go ahead and pick one from the counter.” Mother Fang pointed at the container on the kitchen counter.

Fang Su Jin walked over happily and stopped herself. The cakes her mother gave her were the slightly burned edge. Meanwhile, Zhang Yi Hai got to eat the moist center.

This was not fair.

Was she still the daughter of the Fang family or did Zhang Yi Hai become their son?

Although she was dissatisfied, Fang Su Jin still took a piece of the cake and ate them.

Forget it. Even the edge tasted good.

After snatching a few pieces, she then headed to her room and slumped her body on the mattress. Fang Su Jin stared at the ceiling, thinking of everything that happened today between her and Zhang Yi Hai.

It seemed... that she will be meeting him again tomorrow.

Fang Su Jin then recalled that she had told Zhang Yi Hai about the exhibition. Then, she covered her head with both hands in frustration.

Why did she invite him to come?
