Love So Sweet

However, he quickly thought that this cup of tea was not enough. Perhaps, he will need a stronger drink. However, if he returned home with alcoholic drinks scent on him, his wife would definitely ask.

Then, how was he supposed to explain why he was drinking?

His throat felt a little dry. Zhang Yu Han reached for the teapot, wanting to pour himself some tea, however, Bai Qi was quick and made his move first.

Zhang Yu Han watched as the young man poured him another cup of tea. Then, he reached for the cup and drank his tea.

This time, he felt a little better.

However, looking at the young man in front of him really made him unhappy.

He already knew the reason Bai Qi had come to look for him. But hearing him say those words out loud made him uncomfortable.

Then, he moved quickly and poured another cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

.....

The silence between them lasted for a long time.

Bai Qi sat up straight as he waited for the man to say anything, but Zhang Yu Han continued to drink his tea. His expression was dark and scary.

He wondered if Zhang Li Xue’s father was going to ask for a basketball match to let him marry her.

As time passed by, Bai Qi was beginning to think that this man was going to reject his request. His hands were clenched tightly.

Bai Qi was beginning to feel disheartened.

Actually, he could always propose to his girlfriend first and faced her parents later.

However, after spending time with the family for a while, Bai Qi began to understand that Zhang Li Xue was someone who her parents loved a lot.

Her father especially doted on her like a princess. This was why, before he would propose to her, Bai Qi would like to meet her father and ask for his blessings.

The waiter knocked on the door and entered with the dishes they ordered.

Bai Qi looked away temporarily and drank his tea only to realize that the tea has already turned cold.

As the waiter walked away, Bai Qi felt the awkward silence return.

The food in front of him looked appetizing, but he no longer have the appetite to eat. With the question left unanswered, he might have to suffer from indigestion.

Zhang Yu Han finally realized that the teacup was already empty.

His gaze fell on Bai Qi’s anxious expression again.

All of the sudden, he seemed to recall the words that his wife had said to him previously.

He was very lucky that he had never faced his father-in-law before. When he married his wife, his father-in-law had already passed away. However, he had always heard a lot of stories about that man. Zhang Yu Han knew that his father-in-law doted on Li Qin Yao a lot.

If his father-in-law was still alive, perhaps it would be difficult for him to marry his wife.

A deep sigh escaped him.

He heard from Qi Zheng earlier that Bai Qi has been spending in the operation theatre for hours today. He looked tired, but he still showed up to meet him.

His heart softened a little bit. Zhang Yu Han leaned over and spoke, “Alright. Let’s eat first. We can talk about it again afterward.”

Anyway, Zhang Yu Han thought that he could use this chance to think of what he wanted to say to Bai Qi while he eat.

Bai Qi hesitated. Seeing that the man had reached for his chopsticks and began to eat, Bai Qi quickly followed and ate his food.

His movement was slow. Once in a while, Bai Qi would glance at the man, hoping that he would give a reaction. However, Zhang Yu Han continued to eat slowly.

Just as he was about to finish his meal, Zhang Yu Han cleared his throat, snapping him out of his trance.

Seeing that the elder man had put down his chopsticks, Bai Qi followed suit and sat up straight.

“Bai Qi,” Zhang Yu Han leaned on his chair and smiled. “Are you worthy of my daughter?”

His heart sank upon hearing this question.

Bai Qi began to think that Zhang Yu Han was asking this question to reject him.

But, when he met the elder man’s gaze again, Bai Qi realized that it was not his intention to reject him. This man was testing him.

Bai Qi loved Zhang Li Xue. However, with his background current situation, Bai Qi did not have too much confidence that he could be the best for her.

However, if he did not think that he was worthy of Zhang Li Xue, then, what was he doing here? If he did not think that he was worthy of his little fairy, then, meeting her father right now was a waste of time, wasn’t it?

It seemed that Zhang Yu Han had also noticed Bai Qi’s insecurities. This was probably why he had asked such a question.

Bai Qi took a deep breath and spoke, “I am worthy.” The look on his face turned serious.

He might not be a perfect person, but he will work hard to be a perfect man for his little fairy.

Zhang Yu Han let out a laugh.

Seeing this, Bai Qi began to doubt whether he had given the right answer. Staying alone with his little fairy’s father was quite scary. He could not guess what was going on in that man’s mind.

Zhang Yu Han pursed his lips into a thin line. His brow furrowed as he thought of Bai Qi’s request again.

No matter how much he did not like this young man for wanting to take away his little cabbage, Zhang Yu Han knew that his daughter liked this man. He was someone who would work hard to give his daughter everything. Just imagining his daughter’s disappointed face made his heart ache.

“You should know that I don’t care about how much money you can make and give Li Xue. My daughter has me and her family to take care of her. Even if she did not get married her whole life, her family will be able to support her.” Zhang Yu Han looked at Bai Qi in the eyes. “The thing I cared about the most is whether you are willing to work hard to love her. That you can promise never to make her disappointed in you.”

His throat bobbed. Facing Zhang Yu Han right now, Bai Qi could see how much this man loved and cared for his daughter.

Thinking of how much his little fairy was loved by her family made his heart warm. “I love Li Xue. Uncle, you can rest assured that I will work hard for her and promise to never let her feel disappointed in me.”

“Then, whether you can marry my daughter or not will depend on her answer. If Li Xue did not agree, then, you can forget about this.”

Bai Qi looked at the man in shock.

His words... does it mean that he was willing to give his permission?
