Xiao Jing: “... Fu * to u! Does that make a difference? Does it make any difference ?!”

Tang Xi could not help but laugh when she heard Xiao Jing's growl. Qiao Liang was just teasing him.

However, Qiao Liang did not feel guilty at all. She glanced at Tang Xi, intimately touching the tip of her nose and then replied Xiao Jing, "There's a difference." If Xiao Rou was not Tang Xi, she would not even have seen Xiao Rou, no matter how beautiful she was.

Tang Xi held her chin in one hand, while the other hand was held by Qiao Liang. With a satisfied smile on his face, he said, “Stop. I hungry. I have to go home after eating.”

Upon hearing that he was going home after eating, Qiao Liang frowned. Tang Xi was going to explain to him why when his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, showed his phone to Qiao Liang and then answered the phone. "Mother."

Hearing Tang Xi's voice, Yang Jingxian sounded relieved as she asked, "Rourou, where are you now? Why don't I see you at the school gate?”

Tang Xi curled her lips as she winked at Qiao Liang, grabbed his school bag and walked towards the outside. “I took a taxi and forgot to tell you. Please go home, Ms.”

Qiao Liang hung up the phone with Xiao Jing dejectedly, took the hat and mask on the table to put it on, and then followed Tang Xi out to send her back. Seeing her displeased face, Tang Xi could not help but say, "I didn't know that you would come to pick me up, and I also didn't know that Mom would go to do the same."

Listening to Tang Xi's explanation, Qiao Liang still put on a long face and continued driving with a frown. Tang Xi looked at him and could not help but remember how he was when he was in Long Beach. He reached out to hold her hand and then said gently, “Don't get angry, okay? I really didn't know my mom went to pick me up.”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and he did not wave his hand, but he still looked angry as if saying: I am in a bad mood. Don't mess with me.

Tang Xi sighed and asked gently, "Then what do you want me to do?"

“After you return, find an excuse to sneak out and have dinner with me,” replied Qiao Liang as he glanced at her. "You promised me."

Tang Xi was afraid that she could not do as she asked, but as she looked into her eyes, she could not help but nod and say, "OK, then don't get angry."

Qiao Liang smiled silently, looked at Tang Xi from the side and raised an eyebrow. "Thank you?"

“Yes, trust me!” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang with a smile, only to find that his face had changed so quickly that he almost thought he had just acted. It is unfortunate that he did not become an actor.

Qiao Liang clutched Tang Xi's hand as he pulled over the car at the intersection of the traffic lights, looked at her and said in a low voice, “If you don't become Xiao Rou, I will never let you leave me. So Xixi, please understand me, okay?”

When she heard the news of his death, she thought that if she saw him again, she would never let him leave her. He did not steal it from the Xiao Family because he tried his best to control himself while constantly warning himself that if he did that, it would hurt him, she said, so he didn't impulsively lock her up around him.

By the time his soul became weak, he had returned to where he had died and seen how sad he was, and then he saw how desperate he was in Long Beach, so how could he not understand it? Even he felt that he should be by his side the entire time, but he could not do that now because he was not only Tang Xi; he was also Xiao Rou. He must assume responsibility for both identities.

Besides, he has 008. He can avenge her with the help of 008, so he must return to the capital and let those who killed him get his due. Only after that could he stay with her without any burden.

When the green light flashed, Qiao Liang turned on his car and sent Tang Xi back to the Xiao Family villa. Tang Xi looked at the villa before kissing Qiao Liang's cheek and said gently, “Wait a minute. Remember to bite, okay?”

Qiao Liang helped her untie her seatbelt and Tang Xi came down to walk to the Xiao Family villa.

As soon as Tang Xi entered the villa, she met Xiao Yao at the entrance. His eyes were a little sad as he looked at Qiao Liang's car parked outside. A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tang Xi's face, but she immediately hid it. He came and greeted Xiao Yao with a smile. "Yao, why are you standing at the door?"

Xiao Yao withdrew his gaze and blinked to hide the dimness in his eyes, then rubbed Tang Xi's hair and said gently, "Grandfather called us this afternoon and asked us to visit the Yang Family. I went to pick you up but haven't come back yet, even though it's been almost an hour. I was a bit worried, so I went out to see it.”

Tang Xi's heart sank when she heard that the entire family was going to the Yang Family. He blinked and looked at Xiao Yao, asking, "Grandfather's house?"

Xiao Yao nodded and said emotionlessly, “When we were still in the hospital, Uncle asked us to visit Grandpa after we got out of the hospital. It's been two days since we left the hospital, and Grandpa called us and said it was Friday and he wanted to invite us to visit his house.”

Tang Xi gaped. He had just promised Qiao Liang to have dinner with him, but now he had to go to Grandpa's house. What should he do?!

From what he knew about her, he would definitely be angry. Once he gets angry, he won't eat, and then his health ... Tang Xi thought it was okay if she missed a meal?

But maybe he hasn't eaten all day.

Tang Xi looked at Xiao Yao, who was smiling and returned to her room. “It's been more than two months since you came home, and Grandpa and Uncle wanted to see you, so Mom agreed. We're all going to Yang Family for dinner tonight.”

Tang Xi was about to ask if she could stay home, but she swallowed those words back at Xiao Yao's explanation and nodded with a smile. "All right I understand. I'll go upstairs to get ready. It will be my first time visiting Grandpa's house, so I have to make a perfect impression on her.”

Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and saw Tang Xi rising upstairs before glancing sideways through the floor-to-ceiling window. He could see a black car parked outside the villa. A faint light flashed in his eyes. 'You want to go out with him, don't you? He can't help but hate himself. Xiao Yao, when did you become so despicable?'

After Tang Xi went upstairs, she called Qiao Liang, apologized to him and promised that she would never do this again. Qiao Liang coldly snorted in response and hung up the phone.

Tang Xi looked at the phone and then at the car that just left, feeling guilty ...
