Chapter 427: Need to Work Harder

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. The latter was concentrated on driving and didn’t speak. Qiao Liang was about to ask what she meant when she suddenly asked, “Oh yes, how are things with Lu Li?”

She hadn’t heard how things were going over there since yesterday. Was Long Xiao really so powerful as to take over all the businesses of the Kloss family? If so, she had to work harder. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be worthy of Qiao Liang!

When she was still the heiress of the Empire Group, she didn’t have this problem, but now she was just an ugly duckling that returned to her rich family. Although this little duckling had been gaining successes along the way, it was still hard for her to stand side by side with Qiao Liang!

“They have finished their task.” Qiao Liang smiled and his eyes had a cold gleam. They molested and kidnapped his girlfriend, but he just took their companies. He was too merciful to them! “Without Kloss Yves, the Kloss family is nothing. We don’t have to worry about them.”

Tang Xi nodded. “But how about the Ciffa Gang?” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and frowned. “The Ciffa Gang is a powerful gang. Will they just walk away and pretend nothing has happened?”

Qiao Liang glanced at Tang Xi and turned up the corners of his mouth. Then he rubbed at Tang Xi’s hair and said with a smile, “Long Xiao is powerful too. We won’t leave them any chance to fight back.”

Tang Xi shrugged and said with a smile, “Okay.”

The two of them went back to the hotel and had some food before they went to sleep.

Tang Xi was exhausted. Qiao Liang was also tired although he was much stronger than her. After washing herself up, Tang Xi went to bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Qiao Liang dealt with the affairs of the Qiao’s International Group and Long Xiao and then went to sleep too.

The next morning, Tang Xi was awakened by Ning Yan’s call. When she woke up, Qiao Liang had already left. She took a look at the caller ID, groaned and picked up the call. “Dear Director Ning, it’s immoral to wake people up so early in the morning! I was exhausted yesterday. Can’t you let me sleep for a little bit longer?”

She was so tired these days that she had even given up doing yoga in the morning just to sleep a bit longer, but Ning Yan disturbed her sweet dream with the call! That was really annoying!

Ning Yan didn’t feel guilty at all. He said, “Come on, I stayed up overnight! Get up!”

Tang Xi covered herself with the quilt and grunted. “I’m not as energetic as you. You know, after leaving the sanatorium, I was hospitalized more than once. I’m not even as strong as ordinary people, let alone you. I can’t compare with you!”

Hearing Tang Xi’s words, Ning Yan paused and then said, “Don’t you want to see the posters that we shot yesterday? And the promotion clip has also been finished. Come have a look.”

Tang Xi snapped up from the bed and her eyes lit up. “They’ve been finished?”

Hearing her excited voice, Ning Yan snorted arrogantly, “You can continue to sleep.”

You’ve already written me up! How can I continue to sleep?

Of course she wouldn’t say this. She laughed fawningly. “Director Ning, you know work is always the most important thing to me. Let’s meet in a cafe in ten minutes.”

“Just come to my room.” Ning Yan said unhappily. “If you think it’s inconvenient, bring your boyfriend with you. I don’t want to have to bother with washing my face and changing.”

Ning Yan took a look at himself in the mirror. Since he stayed up overnight, his stubble had come out and he had two big dark circles. Most importantly, now he didn’t look handsome at all! He would never show up in public with this face, even though he was not in China!

He must keep up a good image anytime, anywhere.

The corner of her eyes twitched when Tang Xi heard Ning Yan’s words. “Alright, I know you don’t want to go out. Qiao Liang is not around. I’ll go to your room alone.”

“Wait a minute. You can’t come here alone. You must bring someone with you.” Ning Yan was very vigilant.

Tang Xi took a breath and said, “Do you forget Sister Wanyi? She also starred in the video. Call her to your room too!”

Besides, this was in Paris. Who would take pictures of him with a candid camera? Although you are the most famous director in China, no one will be so stupid as to hide outside your room to take pictures of you!

Ning Yan paused, grunted in response and hung up the call.

Tang Xi slowly got up and wash up. Then she changed and went towards Ning Yan’s room.

Outside Ning Yan’s room, she met He Wanyi who wore exquisite makeup. Tang Xi greeted her with a smile. He Wanyi walked up to her only to find Tang Xi looked gaunt, so she asked, “You didn’t sleep well last night?”

“No, I’m just too tired these days, so I look a bit languid.” Tang Xi said and rang the doorbell. “How about you, Sister Wanyi?”

“Well, I slept very well.” Just then, Ning Yan opened the door. Tang Xi blinked in surprise when she saw that he was even gaunter than her. “Director Ning, did you really stay up overnight?”

“Of course. Do you think I lied to you?” Ning Yan took an unhappy glance at Tang Xi and turned into his room.

Tang Xi shrugged and followed him in, so did He Wanyi. Tang Xi said, “Oh, you are really devoted to your work. I can’t believe you didn’t sleep the whole night to finish the work. I won’t push you. You don’t have to work so hard.”

No one found that at the moment they walked into the room, someone secretly took photos of them.

“Oh, shut up. Save it.” Ning Yan glared at Tang Xi, lay on the sofa and pointed at his laptop with his eyes closed. “Take a look. I’ll take a nap.”

He Wanyi looked at Ning Yan and frowned. “Let me order you a breakfast.”

Ning Yan shook his head. “I’ll have it after taking a nap.”

“Order me one too. I haven’t had breakfast.” Tang Xi said as she viewed the photos in the laptop.

He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi who never forgot food and smiled helplessly. “Okay, I’ll also order one for you.”

He Wanyi ordered breakfast and came to view the photos with Tang Xi.
