Chapter 286 - Recognize Yourself

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Qin Xinying stared hatefully at Tang Xi and screamed, “You’re not in a position to mention Tang Xi in front of me! He forgets Tang Xi so soon just because of you! Neither of you deserve to mention her!”

“That’s enough!” Qiao Liang cast a cold glance at Qin Xinying and said darkly, “You’d better learn to shut up and behave yourself if you still want to stay in the Qiao’s International Group!”

Tang Xi could tell Qiao Liang was really angry. She tugged on Qiao Liang’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “My feet hurt…”

Qiao Liang took a look at her helplessly, and bent down to carry her. Qin Xinying almost went mad when she saw how Qiao Liang doted on this woman called Xiao Rou so much. He should be hers! Even if he wasn’t hers, he should belong to Tang Xi, but never to this country bumpkin! She did all those things not just to create a chance for Qiao Liang and this village girl who came from nowhere!

“Qiao Liang!” Qin Xinying rushed up to stand in the way of Qiao Liang. “You… I know where Tang Xi is. Let’s go find Tang Xi. This woman isn’t suitable for you, not suitable for you at all. You deserve a noble woman like Tang Xi instead of this village girl.”

Qiao Liang glanced coldly at Qin Xinying. She really had a good tongue. If the one he was holding was not Xixi, she might have successfully sowed discord between them!

Upon hearing Qin Xinying’s words, Tang Xi didn’t know if she should cry or smile. Shall she thank Qin Xinying for mentioning her as a “noble woman” or hate her for calling her a “village girl who is not suitable for Qiao Liang at all”.

“Qin Xinying, don’t poke your nose into my affairs!” Qiao Liang snapped. When Tang Xi heard this, she smiled and put her arms around Qiao Liang’s neck as if claiming her ownership to him. She then gave a provocative smile at Qin Xinying and put her head against Qiao Liang’s chest without looking at Qin Xinying aha. Qiao Liang made sure no one could see Tang Xi’s face and walked out carrying her.

Qin Xinying stared at them and almost went mad! Why? Why did Qiao Liang treat this woman so nicely?! Why could this village girl own Qiao Liang’s heart?!

When Tang Xi was carried out of the design department by Qiao Liang, she buried her head into Qiao Liang’s arms and burst into fits of laughter. Qiao Liang walked into the elevator and looked down at the little woman in his arms when he felt her moving about, then he raised his eyebrows and he asked, “Do you think it’s funny?”

Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang with sparkling eyes and tittered. “Ah Liang, I suddenly find that I am suitable to be an actress and the roles where the characters look as pure as a white lotus flower but are instead actually b*tchy will be very suitable for me. What do you think?” Before Qiao Liang replied, she said smugly, “I think my performance was very successful just now, right? And you also showed up just at the right time…”

Qiao Liang looked at her helplessly and frowned. “Your feet don’t hurt now?”

Tang Xi looked down at her feet and pursed her lips. “Too weak. This body is too weak. It seems that I gotta exercise this body well. Otherwise I think it’s dangerous for me to stay beside you with this body.”

Although she had 008, but she had to bear the backlash every time she used 008. For example, she almost died after saving Yao last time. So she had to build up her body so as not to be devoured by the backlash, and then she could use 008’s skills more freely.

Thinking of this, Tang Xi scowled. It seemed that she had to get rid of Qin Xinying as soon as possible so she wouldn’t ruin her plans!

Qiao Liang carried Tang Xi to his office, asked his assistant to bring him an ice bag and began to cold compress her feet as he said, “You don’t have to study anything. I’ll send people to protect you.”

Although Tang Xi knew Qiao Liang didn’t want her to work too hard, she still wanted to depend on herself.

Besides, 008 had said once she collected enough scores, she could avenge herself, so in order to bring those people to justice, she had to build up her body.

Tang Xi shook her head. “No, I know there are many great agents in Long Xiao but as the future wife of their master, if I’m not strong enough they won’t accept me! Therefore, I think I have to strengthen my body.”

Qiao Liang massaged her feet, cast a helpless glance at her and looked down at her swollen feet. “Mom said you were not happy today. What’s wrong with you?”

Tang Xi fell silent, took a look at Qiao Liang and pursed her lips. “Did you call me because of this?”

Qiao Liang looked at her. “Is there anything bothering you?”

“Nothing.” Tang Xi smiled. “It’s just that my company just started operation and I’m a bit worried. Although the four million Yuan is easy money, I don’t want to waste money.”

Qiao Liang didn’t know what to say when he heard this reason. He rubbed Tang Xi’s hair and raised his eyebrows. “Silly girl, did you forget you were the princess of the Empire Group? Why are you so different?”

Tang Xi froze and it had been quite a while before she exhaled and laughed. “Yes, I did forget I used to be the princess of the Empire Group.”

She had been timid and hesitant for such a long time… because she didn’t take herself as Xiao Rou or Tang Xi, but someone between the two. That was why she hated herself so much…

Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang and asked, “Do you hope I’m Tang Xi or Xiao Rou?”

Qiao Liang frowned and thought for a while before he answered, “You are who you are. I like you no matter who you are.”

Tang Xi smiled. “Yes, I’m Tang Xi, and I’m Xiao Rou too. I can be Tang Xi or Xiao Rou. Why did I let this trouble me?”

She could also live a wonderful life with the identity of Xiao Rou.

Tang Xi smiled, put an arm around his neck and kissed him. “Thank you.”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and Tang Xi smiled. “I have always wanted to live a free life. If I become crazier and crazier from now on, don’t try to stop me but cheer me on, alright?”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “So you bribed me with this kiss?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, that’s my bribe.”

Qiao Liang smiled and put away the ice bag. “Okay, go into the room and take a rest. I have a meeting so let’s go for dinner after the meeting.”
