Tang Xi glared at Qiao Liang."Nice try. My parents are both at home. Do you wanna die?"
Qiao Liang shrugged and turned to walk towards his car, saying, "Go back to rest. I'm going to the office. Go to bed and don't stay up late, okay?"
Tang Xi grew angry."Qiao Liang, stop!"
Qiao Liang immediately stopped his steps. Turning back to Tang Xi, whose eyes had turned red, he began to feel regretful again. He quickly went back, wiped Tang Xi's tears and frowned."Why are you crying again? I was wrong, okay?"
"Qiao Liang, are you just trying to make me feel guilty?" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and hit him on the shoulder with her fist."You just want to see me being worried for you, don't you? Then go to your company! Go to your company! I don't care about you! I don't care about you anymore. I don't care who Xiao Rou is. I'm going to kill myself! Satisfied? Anyway, there are so many people who want me to..."
"Enough!" Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi coldly. Tang Xi paused, looked in surprise at the grumpy and angry Qiao Liang and sniffled. Regretting being too harsh to her, Qiao Liang softened his voice and said uneasily, "You know I don't mean that. I won't go to my office, alright?"
Tang Xi glared at Tang Liang and turned to walk into the courtyard. Reluctant to let her leave, Qiao Liang grabbed Tang Xi's hand and whispered, "Don't go."
Tang Xi looked back at Qiao Liang, shook off his hand and said, "Come in."
Qiao Liang grabbed Tang Xi and pointed to her room."Are you inviting me to come upstairs with you?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want to sleep in the car since couldn't fall asleep in there? Just sleep in my room, then both you and I can sleep, " Tang Xi replied.
Qiao Liang gave a secret smile. His heart jumped and he stepped forward and looked at Tang Xi."Aren't you afraid your parents will see me?"
Hearing his question, Tang Xi blushed. She looked back angrily at him and asked, "You coming in or not?!"
"Sure!" Qiao Liang answered without hesitation.
Tang Xi curled her lips and turned around, a smile flashing across her lips so fast that Qiao Liang didn't see it. Qiao Liang held Tang Xi's hand and walked in with her.
Quietly, they went upstairs and entered Tang Xi's room. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi's princess-style room and asked, "Was it decorated by you?"
Tang Xi glared at him. Qiao Liang shrugged, took off his coat and shoes and lay onto Tang Xi's pink princess bed. Tang Xi also took off her shoes and jumped onto the bed. Seeing Qiao Liang wearing a hoodie, she approached Qiao Liang, who dragged her into his arms. Tang Xi smiled shyly, leaned against his chest and whispered, "Wearing a hoodie, you look exactly how you looked in high school, so handsome."
Sleeping with the beauty in his arms, Qiao Liang was secretly excited. He gave a satisfied smile as he looked down at Tang Xi and whispered, "You mean I'm not handsome now?"
Tang Xi smiled and didn't answer his question. Today, she had been tense all day. Having faced people like Tao Yan, she was already physically and mentally exhausted. Lying in bed, she fell asleep soon. Qiao Liang gazed down at the sleeping Tang Xi with a smile and held her even more tightly.
When Tang Xi woke up the next morning, Qiao Liang had already left. She looked around, the corners of her mouth lifted, and turned over to continue sleeping. A few minutes later, Yang Jingxian pushed open the door of her room and told her to get up and eat breakfast. Tang Xi took a look at the time and yawned before saying good morning to Yang Jingxian. Yang Jingxian said, "Your father went jogging. Your foot is wounded, so don't work out for the time being."
Tang Xi nodded at her words and then asked with a smile, "Mom, you just don't want to do yoga with me early in the morning, right?"
Yang Jingxian gave Tang Xi an angry stare before going over to gently touch her nose, saying lovingly, "You naughty girl, get up and have breakfast. Sa just called me and said that he's going to get off the highway and should be in downtown in an hour. Are you going to see your mommy before you see Lin Jiao?"
Yang Jingxian felt a bit sour when she said "mommy", but she soon felt relieved. In fact, this day would have come sooner or later and she had been prepared for it. Only, Rourou was such a good child that she couldn't bear letting her go.
Knowing what Yang Jingxian was thinking, Tang Xi stood up and walked to Yang Jingxian, hugging her. She said softly, "Don't worry, Mom. Even though I acknowledge them, you're still my parent and this is my home. I'll love you forever."
Yang Jingxian was so moved that she held Tang Xi in her arms and nodded hard."Okay. Wash up and go downstairs to have breakfast. I made soup. I'll go to the hospital with you later."
Tang Xi smiled and thanked Yang Jingxian, kissed her on the face and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.
...
When Tang Xi and Yang Jingxian arrived at the hospital, Xiao Yan still hadn't left. Having stayed up all night, he looked slightly tired and his chin was covered with stubble, but as a handsome man, the stubble only made him look all the more attractive. Tang Xi stepped forward and said, "It's our turn now. You can go back and take a rest."
Xiao Yan nodded and greeted Yang Jingxian, who nodded and also told him to go back to rest. She then asked, "Did your mother wake up last night?"
Xiao Yan shook his head."Not yet, but the doctor checked her this morning and said she would probably wake up today."
Yang Jingxian nodded with a smile and Xiao Yan left. Not long afterward, Xiao Hongyi arrived in a hurry. The moment he saw Tang Xi, he walked over quickly and asked, "Rourou, I heard that you found Lin Jiao. Is it true?"
"Yes, I came to see Mommy. If she's okay, I'll go talk to Lin Jiao, " Tang Xi replied with a nod and then asked after a pause, "Was Lin Jiao missing for a period of time twenty-three years ago?"
Xiao Hongyi thought back for a while before giving a nod."Yes, she was missing for more than a year and none of us saw her during that time. But she appeared two months after your mother gave birth to you and came to live at our home for a period of time."
Upon hearing what Xiao Hongyi said, Tang Xi felt more suspicious. Seeing that Tang Xi looked pale, Xiao Hongyi asked with a low voice, "What happened?"
Tang Xi shook her head."Nothing. Let's go in and see Mommy."
In her opinion, it was better to investigate everything clearly and then tell Lin Ru. If she told Xiao Hongyi about this matter now, he would definitely tell Lin Ru and then she might not be able to accept the cruel truth.
When they pushed the door open and entered the room, Lin Ru happened to wake up.
