Qin Xinyings face stiffened. Qiao Liang was going to walk past her holding Tang Xis hand, when she suddenly shouted, Xixi called me!
A triumphant glimmer flashed through Qin Xinyings eyes when she saw Qiao Liang stop, and she continued, I received a phone call from Xixi. Dont you want to know about her situation? Dont you want to know where Xixi is now?
Qiao Liang held Tang Xis hand more tightly, and the latter looked at him from the side only to find a complicated look on his face. Tang Xi patted his hand to give him strength. Qiao Liang turned to cast a deep look at Qin Xinying and said word by word, I broke up with her years ago. What does her whereabouts have to do with me? I hope Miss Qin doesnt think you can get special treatment because youre a friend of my ex-girlfriend. If youve come here to work, please work well. But if youve come here to get close to me, you can get out of Qiaos International Group now.
Qin Xinying turned ghastly pale in response, looked at Qiao Liang with hatred and said fiercely, Youre lying. You went to the Pacific Ocean for Tang Xi, but now you dont dare admit it to this womans face. Arent you afraid of breaking Xixis heart?!
It was office hours, so there werent many people on the first-floor lobby; Qin Xinying didnt attract the attention of many people despite shouting loudly. Tang Xi looked at Qin Xinying and frowned. Suddenly, a memory deep in her mind gradually became clear. She remembered how Qin Xinying had shown her some pictures, in which Qiao Liang appeared intimate towards other girls, and told Tang Xi that she had to keep an eye on him, or else he would be stolen by someone else one day.
Due to her pride, she didnt want to ask Qiao Liang whether he had fallen for someone else. When she stayed with Qiao Liang, she would notice his eyes and find that he always looked happy when he was with her, so she believed he loved her until he abruptly asked for a break up.
It turned out that she hadnt wanted to keep him with her because of Qin Xinyings words; she had wanted to retain her dignity in this love triangle. However, there had been no third person between her and Qiao Liang, but a person playing a monodrama, yet she believed her performance and was deceived by her.
Tang Xi suddenly smiled. Looking at Qiao Liang, she asked him cutely, Who is that Tang Xi she mentioned? Is she as beautiful as me? As cute as me?
Qiao Liang couldnt help smiling when he saw the mischievous smile over Tang Xis lips. He touched her head and said, You are the cutest and the most beautiful girl Ive ever seen.
Tang Xi looked quite satisfied at his answer. She took his hand and looked up at him, saying, Then who do you love most?
You, Qiao Liang answered, gazing at Tang Xi with affectionate and gentle eyes. I only loved you from the very beginning.
Qiao Liang didnt say Xiao Rou or Tang Xi, but you, and this you was referring to Tang Xionly Tang Xi.
Tang Xi was so touched by Qiao Liang that her eyes turned red, while Qin Xinying trembled with anger. Why had she guarded against Tang Xi for so many years, but in the end let a woman she had never heard of grab the opportunity to gain his love? So what she had done to Tang Xi was all in vain? The one Qiao Liang really loved was this woman?
Seeing the fierce look on Qin Xinyings face, Qiao Liang said to her with a warning tone, Miss Qin, I hope you wont say something improper in front of my girlfriend anymore. Otherwise, I will have you disappear from City Ano, from China! Your work can either be popular, or turned into unwanted scrap. With that said, he walked away holding Tang Xis hand.
Qin Xinying felt deep anger, but she was frightened by what Qiao Liang had just said. She had dared to treat Qiao Liang as she had because she believed that Qiao Liang would want to get Tang Xis information from her, but now she was not sure.
Qiao Liang had hardly talked to her when he was together with Tang Xi. If she kept provoking the woman he cared about, he would do what he said!
Thinking of this, she clenched her hands hard. Staring at the receding figures of Qiao Liang and Tang Xi, she said word by word, Qiao Liang, one day youll find that Im the one who loves you most, and that Im the one who suits you best.
Qiao Liang led Tang Xi out of Qiaos International Group and into his car to go to the riverside for afternoon tea. Tang Xi looked at him from the side and poked his hand, asking, Hey, are you going to put Qin Xinying in your company?
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and replied with a question. You dont like it? His voice was cold, but there was a subtle smile over his lips.
Tang Xi nodded. No, I dont like it. Ah Liang, I want to work things out myself, and I dont want you meddling in my affairs. Ill find out who caused the plane crash, and what Qin Xinyings role in it was. I dont want anyone to meddle in this. She looked straight at Qiao Liang and finished word by word, Including you.
Qiao Liang stopped the car at a traffic light intersection and looked deeply at Tang Xi. After a while, he said, Okay, but you have to promise me something.
Tang Xi asked, What is it?
As long as Qiao Liang didnt interfere in her revenge plan, she would say yes to anything.
No matter what youre going to do, you have to let me know in advance, and you cant put yourself in danger. Never let me hear you get hurt, or die. Qiao Liangs heart was still fluttering with fear when he said the word die. If she wasnt so lucky as to be reincarnated in Xiao Rous body, he would still be missing her, holding her finger! With this in mind, Qiao Liang looked more resolute. Promise me.
Tang Xi nodded, her eyes red and her eyes firm. She replied, I promise you that Ill keep myself safe from now on. Whatever I do, Ill tell you in advance.
The car behind was honking as Qiao Liang started the car and headed for the riverside for afternoon tea.
It was September and the weather was getting cold, but it was still very hot at 3 or 4 PM. The two of them walked in the park by the river, being caressed by the breeze. Tang Xi held Qiao Liangs arm as she enjoyed the scenery on the river and murmured, I suddenly find that the scenery of City A is so beautiful.
Yes, Ive also just realized that the scenery of the riverside park is so beautiful. Qiao Liang slowed down while holding her hand, and Tang Xi smiled in satisfaction. Even last night, she hadnt imagined that she would be able to walk in a park hand in hand with Qiao Liang and have afternoon tea together.
