Tang Xi told them about the ability he had suddenly acquired. Listening to it, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were stunned. Xiao Yao suddenly looked at Tang Xi and his voice was extremely hoarse as he asked, "You mean you're Tang Xi?"

Tang Xi froze. He suddenly looked at Xiao Yao, who looked hideous under the street lights as if he had just been rescued from the water, but he admitted it — he had to tell Xiao Yao about this cruel fact — so he nodded and replied, “Ya, brother. I'm actually Tang Xi. I'm sorry for lying to you all this time.”

Hearing him call him 'brother', Xiao Yao could barely contain his heartfelt pain. He froze and looked at Tang Xi. Yes, even if she was Tang Xi, she was now Xiao Rou who was her sister. He could only be his brother in his life. His heart ached, but soon he told himself that fortunately, he was still alive even though he had to live as Xiao Rou.

Xiao Jing's arc reflexes were relatively long and thus it took a while before she pointed at Tang Xi in surprise and exclaimed, “So, so, you have so many special abilities not because you are smart or genius, but because you are Tang Xi!”

Tang Xi replied as she shrugged, "Jing, even though I'm Tang Xi, I'm still a genius," then while grinning, she finished, "I'm smarter than you. You can't deny this.”

Blech. Xiao Jing almost vomited blood. What kind of sister does she have? And why would he have such a sister?

The corner of Xiao Sa's eyes twitched. He stared blankly at Tang Xi, then at Qiao Liang, and finally at his two brothers, asking, "So, what are you going to do now?"

Xiao Sa finally knew why Tang Xi could speak French fluently in the French restaurant and why she was confident of being accepted into University A within a year. As far as he knew, Tang Xi was the pride of the entire Imperial Group. He had received an MBA from Harvard University when he graduated from Capital University, and he was proficient in a dozen different languages…

Qiao Liang asked coldly, "Do you want Xixi to come home with me now?"

Even though she wanted to stay with him so badly, she knew that Tang Xi would not agree. He got along well with the people of the Xiao Family, and he knew that he liked his family very much. But if they exiled her because of her identity as Tang Xi, she would…

"Of course not!" The Xiao brothers exclaimed with one voice. Xiao Jing glared at Qiao Liang as she said honestly, “Rourou is our sister. Why should she come back with you?”

Tang Xi smiled. From this, he could feel a change in Xiao Yao's mind. He truly appreciated that Xiao Yao did not say anything unacceptable at this moment, and was even more grateful that they still deeply believed him even after knowing the truth.

They sat by the river for another two hours, after which they were almost conscious. Qiao Liang looked at his watch and sent it back. Xiao Jing laughed along the way, saying, “Oh, Qiao Liang, I never expected that one day would come when you should call me Third Brother. This is really karma!”

Xiao Jing had been complacent ever since she learned of Tang Xi's true identity. He wanted to laugh out loud thinking that Qiao Liang should get their approval to marry Tang Xi.

Qiao Liang scowled and glared at Tang Xi, who shrugged in response, looking very innocent. He asked, "Do you want me dead?" He thought he might have to choose between death and rebirth in Xiao Rou's body.

Qiao Liang was silent. If he had to choose between licking Xiao Jing or Tang Xi dying, he would definitely choose the former. He looked at Xiao Jing from the rearview mirror, gritted his teeth and warned, “Be careful! You just wait and see.”

He sat down between Xiao Yao and Xiao Jing. When Qiao Liang saw his satisfied smile from the rearview mirror, he snorted, suddenly stepping on the gas and turning the steering wheel. Xiao Yao immediately grasped the handle of the stairs, as well as Xiao Sa. Tang Xi also grabbed hold and looked at Qiao Liang with a dark look. Caught off guard and not having a handle to hold because he was sitting in the middle, Xiao Jing suddenly fell on top of Xiao Sa. As Qiao Liang turned the wheel again, he was thrown back at Xiao Yao. He broke into a curse. Qiao Liang sneered and turned the steering wheel even harder. After countless turns, Qiao Liang suddenly braked and Xiao Jing, staring forward with wide eyes, jolted from the middle seat forward violently and nearly crashed into the car console.

Xiao Jing was about to curse Qiao Liang when she suddenly felt nauseous. He opened the door in such a hurry that he could not even wait for Xiao Yao to step aside; he jumped over him and got off the car, rushed to the side of the road and started vomiting under the tree.

Qiao Liang opened the door to get out of the car, leaning on the hood, looked at Xiao Jing who was vomiting sadly and sneered, "Satisfied?"

Xiao Jing hugged the tree she had thrown as she looked up and angrily pointed towards Qiao Liang, saying, "Qiao Liang, you know, you won't marry my sister!"

Qiao Liang shrugged indifferently and replied, "That's not up to you."

They drank until midnight, stayed in the central park for two hours and frolicked on the street, so by the time Qiao Liang sent them home, it was the same, it was six in the morning and the sky was already clear. Xiao Hongli was jogging in the park when he saw them back, after which he stopped and scolded them with a frown, “Xiao Sa, Xiao Jing, and, don't you two know your brother and sister just got out of the hospital and need a good rest? How can you get it out and play all night!”

Qiao Liang got down from the car and greeted Xiao Hongli. When the latter saw Qiao Liang, he stopped and then walked up to him with a smile on his face, saying, “Oh, Qiao Liang, why are you here? I heard you were abroad recently.”

Qiao Liang also smiled and greeted him. “I received a call from Xiao Jing, and she said they couldn't drive because they were drunk, so I stopped by to pick them up.”

Xiao Jing glared at Qiao Liang, wondering how he could be so mischievous! He spoke through his hat! Then he glanced at Tang Xi, who had been deceiving them for months, and pursed his lips, thinking they were really a suitable match, both of them were good at making up lies.

Tang Xi greeted Xiao Hongli with a yawn then said, “I'll go upstairs to sleep. Don't bother me.”

As she passed by Xiao Hongli, she stroked Tang Xi's head and said lovingly, “Come back and rest well. Tomorrow's school."

Tang Xi smiled sweetly at Xiao Hongli without looking back at Qiao Liang. Unwilling to part from him, Qiao Liang watched him rise to the top. How could this girl leave without saying goodbye to him?

Xiao Jing snorted triumphantly, saying, "I will also sleep on top."

Xiao Yao said to Qiao Liang, “Thank you, President Qiao. See you soon."

Xiao Sa also waved at Qiao Liang.
