Chapter 422
Zhang Yi Hai raised his head to look at the building. His mother really did not hold back on choosing the expensive restaurant. Fortunately, he was not without money.
As his mother walked into the restaurant and talked to the server about their table, Zhang Yi Hai glanced at Fang Su Jin and sneaked over next to her. While no one else was watching, Zhang Yi Hai stretched his hand and held Fang Su Jin’s hand.
His action surprised her.
Fang Su Jin turned and stared at Zhang Yi Hai in horror. She wanted to pull her hand away, but at the same time, she was afraid of attracting his mother’s attention.
This crazy person!
Just what was he trying to do? Was he not afraid that they might be caught?
Her heart was thumping hard against her ribcage.
Just as his mother turned around to look at them, Zhang Yi Hai finally retracted his hand.
.....
“What are you two standing there for?” Li Qin Yao asked as she looked at them both alternately. Her gaze then shifted to her son. “Yi Hai, let’s go. Our room is on the second floor.”
“Oh.” Zhang Yi Hai walked to his mother casually. Then, he turned to Fang Su Jin and tilted his head. “Sister Fang, aren’t you coming?”
Fang Su Jin clenched his teeth tightly. She had the urge to bite a certain someone.
“Su Jin?”
The fierce look on her face quickly disappeared when Li Qin Yao turned to look at her. Fang Su Jin put on a smile and joined the mother and son.
A server greeted them as they walked into the private room.
Fang Su Jin sat down beside Zhang Yi Hai’s mother and looked at the menu with a serious look on her face. She thought that by sitting farther away from Zhang Yi Hai, the man would not have the chance to tease her again.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yi Hai would steal a few glances at her?
Fang Su Jin thought that she might die from anxiety.
The waiter left after taking their order.
Li Qin Yao turned to Fang Su Jin and the two of them began to talk about Fang Su Jin’s exhibition, while Zhang Yi Hai was listening.
Their topic somehow shifted to Zhang Li Xue and her upcoming wedding.
Since Zhang Li Xue’s injury was recovering, they thought they should plan a wedding banquet for Zhang Li Xue and Bai Qi. It took months to plan a wedding. Therefore, Li Qin Yao was planning to start early.
Zhang Yi Hai drank his water as he listened to their conversation.
In just a few months, his sister will have a wedding. It seemed that her relationship with Bai Qi was going smoothly.
Meanwhile, he was not allowed to tell anyone that he had a girlfriend. The thought of waiting until he graduated made him a little depressed.
The ringing from his mother’s phone snapped him out of his trance.
Zhang Yi Hai watched as his mother’s face lit up upon seeing the name on the caller ID. “Is it Dad?”
Li Qin Yao shook her head. “No. It’s your Auntie Han.” She stood up and smiled at Fang Su Jin. “Excuse me for a while. I need to pick up the phone.”
Fang Su Jin nodded. She watched as Li Qin Yao left the private room and closed the door. Just as she shifted her gaze, Fang Su Jin saw that Zhang Yi Hai had shifted his seat beside her.
“What are you doing?” Fang Su Jin blinked. She shifted her gaze to the door anxiously. “What if someone sees us?”
“Su Jin, are you still angry?” Zhang Yi Hai asked. “I’m sorry. I won’t do anything that you did not like anymore. Can you not be angry?”
Zhang Yi Hai came to the exhibition center to coax his girlfriend. However, with his mother’s appearance, it was too inconvenient. He brought her a gift, but could not give it to her right now. He wanted to say the right thing, but he did not think that he was good with words. The only thing he could do was apologize.
Fang Su Jin thought that the look on Zhang Yi Hai’s face at this time was adorable. The usually fierce man looked a little pitiful when he was apologizing. However, this was not the time for her to admire the look on his face.
“I’m not angry,” Fang Su Jin spoke helplessly.
“Really?”
“Why would I be angry?”
“Yesterday... Weren’t you angry because I-”
“Shut up. Don’t say that word again.” Fang Su Jin interjected as she lowered her head. She would be too embarrassed if Zhang Yi Hai mentioned that kiss and his mother would show up. “I’m not angry. I’m just... embarrassed. Can you not talk about it anymore?”
Zhang Yi Hai was stunned.
It was now that he realized what happened. Now that he thought about what happened yesterday again, he realized that Fang Su Jin was angry at him after he mentioned kissing her again.
How can he forget? His sister might be a shameless person, but his girlfriend was such a shy one.
Zhang Yi Hai watched his girlfriend and smiled helplessly.
Seeing the smile on Zhang Yi Hai’s face almost made her want to pinch him. “Why did you come to the exhibition center so early? Did your class really got canceled?”
Zhang Yi Hai had an innocent look on his face. “Su Jin, I am a good student. I won’t lie about this. When I know that my class was canceled, I came over to coax you. I called you, but you did not pick up the phone.”
Fang Su Jin took out her phone and saw that there were indeed a few missed calls and text messages from him. “Sorry, I didn’t notice. I was panicking when your mother suddenly showed up.”
“I did not expect that she would show up and find you either.”
Fang Su Jin glanced at the door again. “You better go and return to your place before your mother shows up.”
Just as she finished saying those words, the door was pushed open and LI Qin Yao walked into the room with a smile on her face. Her steps halted when she saw that her son was now sitting beside Fang Su Jin.
“Yi Hai, why are you in my seat?”
“No. I was talking to Sister Fang about something.” Zhang Yi Hai coughed.
Li Qin Yao waved her hand when she saw that her son was about to stand up to change seats again. “Forget it. Just sit there. Your Aunt Han and Xiao Jun are going to come over in a while. Mom has something to talk to her after this.” The thought of meeting her friend made her unable to see the strange atmosphere in the room.
Zhang Yi Hai sat down again. He lowered his head to hide the smile on his face.
