Love So Sweet

Chapter 421



She blinked her eyes a few times, hoping that the young man in front of him would only be her imagination, however, Zhang Yi Hai continued to stand around.

Her gaze shifted to the man’s mother. Then, back at him again.

Now that both Zhang Yi Hai and his mother were together, what was going to happen to her? Would his mother know about their relationship?

Her heartbeat accelerated. Fang Su Jin could not figure out the reason why Zhang Yi Hai would appear at the exhibition center at this time.

Didn’t he have classes to attend? Shouldn’t he be at his campus? Why did he come to look for her this early?

Her gaze then shifted between Zhang Yi Hai and his mother again. Suddenly, Fang Su Jin could feel her body grow colder.

Fang Su Jin looked at Zhang Yi Hai anxiously.

She wondered if Zhang Yi Hai already knew that his mother was going to be in the Capital City, but did not tell her about it.

.....

“Mom, why are you here?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. His brow furrowed. “You didn’t tell me that you’re coming to Capital City.”

Li Qin Yao laughed. “This was unplanned. Your dad had to come over for a meeting. I was here to accompany him. Since he was at the hotel, I decided to come over and look at Su Jin’s exhibition.”

Fang Su Jin was watching their exchange from the side. Hearing their conversation, she finally heaved a breath of relief.

It seemed that Zhang Yi Hai too was unaware that his mother would drop by her exhibition.

“Mom, if I did not run into you here, are you planning to keep your visit to Capital City a secret? You did not forget that you have a son studying here, right?”

“What are you saying? Of course, I did not do this on purpose. Your father and I planned to look for you after he finished his meeting. Anyway, we thought that you should be busy with your study at this time,” Li Qin Yao said. A few seconds later, she then noticed that there was something strange with this situation. “That’s right. Yi Hai, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in class?”

Zhang Yi Hai coughed. “My class was canceled. I was meeting a friend earlier to discuss some business. Coincidentally, it was somewhere near here.”

Fortunately, he was someone who often wore his poker face. It was not difficult for him to hide a certain thought from showing on his face.

“So, it was a coincidence.” Li Qin Yao smiled.

Unfortunately for Zhang Yi Hai, he was facing his mother.

As the saying goes, a mother knows her children the best.

Li Qin Yao looked at her son and thought that her little boy was hiding something from her. However, she was still unaware of what it was.

Zhang Yi Hai was quick to notice that his mother was looking at him strangely. His mind came up with something to divert her attention away. “Mom, since you are here, should we go and have a meal together?” Zhang Yi Hai said.

Just like that, Zhang Yi Hai managed to steer his mother’s attention away.

“It’s alright.” Li Qin Yao shifted her gaze to Fang Su Jin who was beside her. “I was planning to have lunch with Su Jin.”

Zhang Yi Hai followed his mother’s gaze and spoke, “Then, Sister Fang, should we go on lunch together? It will be my treat.”

Fang Su Jin suppressed the urge to laugh when she heard that Zhang Yi Hai had gone back to call her ‘Sister Fang’. It seemed that this young man was able to adapt quickly to the situation.

Li Qin Yao was about to tell her son that he did not need to accompany her since Fang Su Jin had agreed to come with her. However, she then changed her mind when she heard that her son would pay for the meal.

“Su Jin, what do you think?” Li Qin Yao spoke. “Should we go together?

Fang Su Jin looked back helplessly. She did not want to join this lunch with both mother and son around. Fang Su Jin was afraid that she might make a mistake and let her secret out.

“It’s not easy for Yi Hai to treat us to lunch,” Li Qin Yao continued when she saw that Fang Su Jin had remained quiet. “You don’t have to worry. Yi Hai has his own money. Recently, he was working with his friends to start up a company. I heard that the business is going well.”

Fang Su Jin shifted her gaze to Zhang Yi Hai. However, it did not seem as if Zhang Yi Hai was going to help her out of this situation. In fact, it seemed as if he was looking forward to having a meal together.

The mother and son were looking at her with expectant gazes, Fang Su Jin had no other choice but to agree. “Then... I’ll go with you.”

A bright smile appeared on her face when Li Qin Yao heard Fang Su Jin’s answer. “Then, let’s go together. Since Yi Hai is buying us lunch, we should choose an expensive restaurant.”

Zhang Yi Hai heaved a sigh. “Mom....”

“What’s wrong, are you going to change your mind, now?”

He quickly shook his head. “Of course, not. Mom, you can choose whichever restaurant you like.”

Li Qin Yao was satisfied with her son’s answer. She took out the car key from her bag and handed it over to her son. “Yi Hai, you’re driving.”

Zhang Yi Hai stared at the key in his hand and heaved another sigh.

It was not easy for him to have a girlfriend. He only wanted to spend his time with his girlfriend before it was time for her to head back to Y City. But it seemed that there would always be someone trying to prevent him from being alone with Fang Su Jin.

The other day, it was Fang Su Jin’s cousin and mentor. Today, it was his mother.

Zhang Yi Hai was beginning to worry about who was going to show up next.

Dating is really hard.

Zhang Yi Hai began to wonder just how did his sister keep her relationship from everyone in the beginning.
