Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Qiao Liang silently stared at Lin Yuan who was trying to defend himself. Seeing him being like this, Lin Yuan really regretted what he had done. He folded his hands and apologized to Qiao Liang. “Master, my bad. But I just wanted that woman to divert your attention at that time. If I had known that she is a b*tch, I would have thrown her into the Pacific Ocean! I will absolutely not let that woman get close to you!”

Qiao Liang still remained silent. Lu Li looked at the two of them and felt the atmosphere was not right, so he said, “Ah Yuan was in the wrong, but he didn’t do this out of ill intentions. Don’t take it to heart.”

Qiao Liang took a look at Lu Li and then at Lin Yuan who was still looking at him imploringly. Then he said coldly, “Never do it again.”

“I swear I won’t do it again!” Lin Yuan immediately held up his hand and pledged. “If I break my word, I will jump from a height of 30,000 feet without a parachute!

Qiao Liang snorted and hung up.

At the moment of hanging up the video call, Qiao Liang heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was a bit scared at first. He was afraid that his good buddy really did something against him. He thought a lot when he made the call. If Lin Yuan did betray him, what would he do?

Although he didn’t say anything when he listened to Lin Yuan’s explanation, he was actually relieved. Fortunately, Lin Yuan did it for his good. Fortunately, Lin Yuan didn’t do anything worse.

Qiao Liang stood up only to see Tang Xi standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows and walked toward her. “Why don’t you sleep?”

“I got up to drink some water and came to see you by the way, but you were on a video call, so I didn’t disturb you.” Tang Xi leaned against his chest, “May I accompany you tonight?”

Qiao Liang nodded. Tang Zhenhua arranged a room for him so that they wouldn’t sleep together, but… this certainly wouldn’t stop them from staying together!

The two were lying in bed. Qiao Liang hugged Tang Xi and the latter turned over and put her arm around his waist. “What happened?”

“I’ve found out who revealed my whereabouts to Qin Xinying. I just confirmed it.” Qiao Liang whispered. And before Tang Xi asked who this person was, he said, “It is Lin Yuan.”

Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang in surprise. He put her head against his chest and said hoarsely, “However, he did this for my own good. At first, he wanted to help me get you back, and then when I was in the Pacific… he just didn’t want me to be too sad, so he tried to divert my attention. ”

Tang Xi reached out and hugged him. “Fortunately, he didn’t betray you.”

Fortunately, it was Lin Yuan. Fortunately, Lin Yuan did it for his good, and fortunately… his organization members didn’t betray him.

Qiao Liang grunted in agreement, Then he held Tang Xi in his arms, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The two slept until dawn. The first feeling she had when she opened her eyes was that her hand ached… She had lay on her side last night, so her injured hand was pressed under her body. Now it hurt so much that she burst into tears. Qiao Liang opened his eyes only to see Tang Xi in tears. He immediately sat up, helped Tang Xi up and asked with care, “Can you move your hand?”

Tang Xi’s eyes were red. She shook her head aggrievedly. “It hurts.”

Qiao Liang sighed. He could imagine how much Tang Xi’s hand hurt. He rolled up the sleeves of Tang Xi’s pajamas and checked the wounds that had turned red. He frowned. “The wound has to be re-sterilized and redressed. Let me help you wash your face first.”

Tang Xi watched Qiao Liang go into the bathroom and then take a wet towel to wash her face and wipe her hand. She smiled sweetly, reached out and stroked his cheek, whispering, “Ah Liang, you’ve turned me on.”

“Huh?”

Tang Xi was amused by his stunned look. She said, “I feel that my heart has been stolen by you.”

“That’s because you already own my heart.” Qiao Liang took her hand stroking his cheek and wiped it clean with the towel. Then he kissed her on her forehead. “Aren’t you going to your company? Get up. Let me help you change clothes.”

Tang Xi immediately blushed. “I can do it myself!” She didn’t need any help when she changed. She could fasten the buttons with a single hand…

Qiao Liang took a glance at Tang Xi and laughed. “Are you shy?”

“Yes!” Tang Xi said and was about to run to her room when Qiao Liang grabbed her uninjured hand. “Let me re-dress your wound.”

Tang Xi stopped and sat down on the sofa, and Qiao Liang took the medical kit to re-dress her wound.

Just when he finished re-dressing her wound, the door was knocked on. Tang Xi said, “Wait a minute.” and Tang Zhong’s voice rang outside. “Miss, bad news.”

…

Tang Xi changed and went downstairs. The living room was full of the Tang family people who looked angry. Tang Zhenhua sat on the side and looked casually at these people, and Qiao Liang and Tang Zhenhua were standing beside him.

“Uncle, why didn’t you tell us you are sick earlier? Coronary heart disease! It is not an ordinary disease! It’s hard to cure. If you had told us about your disease earlier, we could have been prepared, so that we won’t be caught off guard. Just before we came here, the stock price of the Empire Group has been plummeting. If the stock price continues to drop, it may hit limit down! “The one who spoke was Tang Haoren, Tang Hao’s father.

“I retired because I was sick.” Tang Zhenhua said indifferently. “The board members knew it.”

“You just told us that you retired because you were aged and didn’t have enough energy to cope with the work!” Tang Mingren frowned and complained. “You didn’t say you had coronary heart disease that can kill you at any time. You shouldn’t…”

“Yeah, now the company’s share price has dropped so much. Who is responsible for this?!” Tang Yaoren also nodded. “Uncle, shouldn’t you be responsible for this…”

“Haha.” Tang Xi suddenly sneered and these people all looked at her. Tang Xi coldly looked at them, walked towards Tang Zhenhua with a straight face and sat down beside him. “Responsible? Do you mean we should be responsible for you? This company belongs to Grandpa and me. We aren’t even worried. What are you worrying about?”

“How can you speak to us like this?!” Tang Jieren had been full of hatred towards Tang Xi since she dismissed Tang Hao. Hearing Tang Xi’s remarks, he immediately rebutted angrily, “We’re your uncles!”
