Love So Sweet

157 Keep This Secret from My Brother

Zhang Yu Ying did not expect that the moment she showed up at Qi Zheng’s office, she would have the chance to see that little boy again.

“That was your student?”

“Uh-huh.” Qi Zheng nodded absentmindedly. He browsed through his phone, wanting to contact someone to stop Director Xiao from bullying his student. Because he was too busy looking at his phone, Qi Zheng had not noticed the look in Zhang Yu Ying’s eyes.

“I didn’t expect that he would be very good-looking.” Zhang Yu Ying mused. The corner of her lips turned up. Zhang Yu Ying already gave her approval of Bai Qi’s look.

The last time she saw him, he was still a short and chubby boy. But now, he had grown handsome and tall.

But... why does it feel as if she had seen his face before?

Qi Zheng was about to dial a number when he heard Zhang Yu Ying’s comment.

He raised his head to look at the woman in front of him and saw that she was staring at the door. It was not hard to guess that Zhang Yu Ying was talking about his student.

“Yu Ying, don’t think about it,” Qi Zheng spoke. “You might be considered my little sister, but don’t forget that Wei Jun Hao is my good brother. I won’t let you break his heart.”

.....

Qi Zheng remembered how hard it was for Wei Jun Hao to chase after Zhang Yu Ying. Back then, Zhang Yu Ying was such a slow poke that she had not noticed how Wei Jun Hao was chasing her.

After years of courting her, Zhang Yu Ying finally agreed to date Wei Jun Hao and later, marry him.

Zhang Yu Ying rolled her eyes when she heard Qi Zheng’s words. “I’m not interested in a younger man. Brother Qi Zheng, stop thinking too much.”

His eyes narrowed. “Weren’t you complimenting my student’s good look just now?”

Zhang Yu Ying refused to answer. She took a seat and looked at the man in front of her. “Brother Qi Zheng, I have a request.”

“What is it?”

“Help me to keep an eye on that boy.”

Qi Zheng’s movement halted again. He stared at the woman in front of him for a few seconds longer. “And you said you weren’t interested? Zhang Yu Ying...” There was a hint of warning in his tone.

Zhang Yu Ying heaved a sigh. She began to think that Qi Zheng might have some problem with his head. “Let me tell you a secret. But, you have to promise to keep this secret from my brother.”

Qi Zheng eyed Zhang Yu Ying cautiously. His instinct told him that this secret had something to do with his student. Thinking of the secret that he was supposed to keep from Zhang Yu Han made him scared.

“Brother Qi Zheng, do you remember the Bai family?” Zhang Yu Ying asked.

Her question threw him off guard. “The Bai family?”

“Un.” Zhang Yu Ying nodded. “I supposed, the family was our family’s friend. I remember the Old Master Bai and his wife often attended our family’s events when Grandpa was still alive. Unfortunately, the Bai family moved away to S Country twenty years ago.”

Qi Zheng had a hard time processing this conversation.

He had thought that Zhang Yu Ying was going to talk about his student. But why did she suddenly mention the Bai family?

It took him a while to notice the clues.

Bai family? Bai Qi? S Country?

If he was not mistaken, Bai Qi had told him that he had lived in S Country before he moved to the northern part... Was Bai Qi a member of that Bai family?

Speaking of the Bai family... Qi Zheng had one interesting memory about them.

It was during Zhang Yu Ying and Wei Jun Hao’s wedding.

At that time, the young Zhang Li Xue was assigned as the flower girl. She was dressed prettily with flowers in her head. However, a naughty boy had pulled the flower crown on her hair, making the little girl cry.

Qi Zheng remembered this scene well because Zhang Yu Han began to monitor the boys around his daughter after this incident.

If he was not mistaken, the boy was also from the Bai family.

Then... that person who had bullied their little Li Xue was his student?

This realization made him stunned.

“Brother Qi Zheng?” Zhang Yu Ying waved her hand in front of him when the man did not react.

“Huh?” Qi Zheng snapped out of his trance. “I supposed I remember them.”

Zhang Yu Ying’s eyes lit up. She leaned over, wanting to tell Qi Zheng an exciting gossip. “Do you know that your student is from that family?”

Qi Zheng had already guessed it before Zhang Yu Ying could tell him.

“What’s more... Your student and our Li Xue were childhood friends,” Zhang Yu Ying announced. “When they were in kindergarten, Zhang Li Xue had recruited that boy into her basketball team. The two of them used to practice a lot together.”

“They were childhood friends?” Qi Zheng was shocked upon hearing this news.

“Uh-huh.” Zhang Yu Ying nodded again. Then, she began to tell Qi Zheng about what Zhang Li Xue had told her yesterday.

Zhang Yu Ying thought that Bai Qi was too pitiful. Thinking of her grandfather’s relationship with the Bai family, Zhang Yu Ying decided to help Bai Qi and look after him.

Qi Zheng was silent for a long time.

He knew that Zhang Li Xue had met Bai Qi a few times, but that girl had never told him that she was an acquaintance with Bai Qi.

“It has been a long time, but the two of them finally met again,” Zhang Yu Ying spoke. “Brother Qi Zheng, don’t you think that Bai Qi is too pitiful? Help me to look after him, alright?”

Qi Zheng did not know how he should feel about this. He looked at Zhang Yu Ying again and recalled his conversation with Bai Qi earlier.

“You don’t have to worry about this. Bai Qi is my student. Of course, I will look after him,” Qi Zheng spoke. “However, since you have mentioned this, why don’t you help me a little bit?”

Zhang Yu Ying raised a brow.

Then, her expression gradually turned uglier when Qi Zheng told her how Bai Qi was bullied by one of the directors in the hospital.
