Loving You Too Much - Chapter 396

Zhang Li Xue was three years old the first time her parents took her on a vacation overseas and visited the beach.

At this time, the little girl was staring at her father who was in the middle of the swimming pool. Beckoning at her. The little princess turned her gaze towards the water and jumped in before she started to swim towards her father.

Once she reached towards her father, Zhang Li Xue lifted her head from the water and clung to his arm. “Daddy, how was it?” She wiped the water off her face.

“Very good,” Zhang Yu Han nodded. “Like a dolphin.”

The girl scowled as she looked at her father. “No. Mummy said I swim like a mermaid.”

Zhang Yu Han heaved a sigh. Who cares whether it was a dolphin or a mermaid? The point was, she was a good swimmer, alright?

Although that was what on his mind, Zhang Yu Han could only speak helplessly, “Alright. You swim like a mermaid.”

Hearing her father complimented that she could swim like her favorite princess, her lips tilted up into a smile.

“Let’s get out and see what your mummy is doing?”

“Daddy, you help me.” She tightened her grip on her father’s arm and turned her body heavy as a log. “I’m too tired to move.”

Zhang Yu Han patted at her daughter’s head and swum out of the pool. It was a rare occasion that her daughter would act coquettishly towards him. Of course, he was not going to say anything.

The little girl was someone who would prefer her mother. It was only when her mother was not around that she would act spoiled towards him. It seemed that the little girl’s survival skill was quite high.

“Li Xue, walk slowly. Don’t run,” Zhang Yu Han warned as they had taken a quick shower at the side of the pool. He watched her daughter grabbed a towel and walked into the villa with her short feet.

When he walked inside, his daughter had already found her mother in the kitchen and bragging at how well she had swum just now. Li Qin Yao praised her daughter’s skill before she instructed her to dry herself and changed into a new cloth before she can have her snack.

It was only when his daughter had disappeared into the room that Zhang Yu Han walked over to his wife. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her closer until her back touched his ċhėst, and tilted her head sideways to kiss her lips.

“Stop that,” Li Qin Yao giggled as they were apart. “You need to get change too. Don’t give a bad influence on your daughter.”

“Hmm…” He bent down to kiss her lips again instead of releasing her. Since their daughter was not around, of course, he had to take this chance to be intimate with his wife. Or else, the little girl would conquer his wife most of the time and he did not want to compete with the little girl lest his wife would think of her as petty.

The two of them were supposed to be on a trip just the two of them to celebrate their anniversary. But the little princess had pleaded to him to bring her along.

Since Zhang Li Xue had pleaded to him, and not to his wife, of course, he was unable to refuse her. It was not every day that their daughter would come over to him and ask for things.

However, from the beginning of their trip, Zhang Li Xue had occupied most of his wife’s time and he was forced to stay on the side.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He had asked the little girl to swim around with him and hope that the little girl would be too tired to pester her mother later. Only then will he be able to enjoy their alone time. Thinking about what he was going to do once their daughter fell asleep, Zhang Yu Han was suddenly excited.

The kiss lasted long enough and Zhang Yu Han finally released his wife, knowing that their daughter would come out of the room soon.

Li Qin Yao bit at her lips and looked at her husband with a hint of a smile on her face. She walked over to the table and picked up a bowl of cut watermelon. She took a piece and shoved it into Zhang Yu Han’s mouth.

“How is it? Sweet?”

His lips turned into a smile and there was a sparkle in his eyes. “Your lips are sweeter.”

Li Qin Yao slapped at his arms softly, but then, he pulled her hand and descend another kiss on her lips.

“Un. Very sweet.” Seeing the dazed look on his wife’s face, the smile on his face went wide.

Li Qin Yao glanced at the door, expecting their daughter to come out soon. Then, she walked around the table and poured a glass of water for him.

Suddenly, the phone on the table started to ring. Li Qin Yao stared at the caller ID and frowned when she saw her sister-in-law’s name. Thinking that Zhang Yu Ying had an urgent matter to make an international call, Li Qin Yao quickly answered the call.

“Sister-in-law!” Zhang Yu Ying’s cheery voice could be heard on the other line.

“Yu Ying, what’s wrong?”

“Sister-in-law, guess what? Wei Jun Hao asked me to marry him.”

She raised a brow upon hearing the news. “He had been asking you to marry him on the first month the two of you started to date.”

“No! This time it’s different. He proposed me with roses, a ring, and everything. It was a very grand proposal and I said yes. Sister-in-law, I’m getting married!”

Li Qin Yao for a few seconds before he raised her head to look at her husband who was munching on the watermelon. At this time, Zhang Li Xue had returned to the kitchen. She watched as Zhang Yu Han placed a small bowl of watermelon for his daughter before the small girl run to the living area to watch TV while eating her snacks.

“Yu Ying said she’s getting married,” Li Qin Yao said as soon as the phone call ended. She leaned towards the table and continued to watch her husband.

“Hmm…”

Looking at his reaction, Li Qin Yao knew that Zhang Yu Han was aware that his friend was planning to propose. “Didn’t you say that you won’t let Wei Jun Hao propose unless he beat you at a one-on-one match?”

“Well, I let him win last week,” he smiled. “Mom called and nagged to stop bullying her future son-in-law. I suspected that Wei Jun Hao had asked for my mom’s help.”

Li Qin Yao laughed. “When did you have a one-on-one match? Why didn’t you call and let me watch?”

“I cannot let Li Xue watch the game. The little girl liked me because I’m good at basketball. If she watches Wei Jun Hao defeating me, then what will happen if she stops liking me as well? No. I won’t take the chance and ruin my reputation in front of my daughter.”
