Just then, the door of Qiao Liang's office was suddenly pushed open and a hearty female voice rang out. "What did you say again?"
As if seeing his savior, Xiao Jing rushed over, hugged Tang Xi and complained, "Rourou, you're finally here. You don't know how scary this man is. He hasn't slept for more than ten days. I coaxed him to sleep because I was afraid he would suddenly die, but now he wants to hit me. Why is it so hard to be a good man in the past two years?!"
Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang only to find that his eyes were dark circles. He didn't sleep well at all. She felt sorry for him. She looked at Qiao Liang who was standing there gazing at her deeply without saying a word, and said to Xiao Jing, "Jing, you can leave now. I'll take care of him."
Xiao Jing grunted and whispered to Tang Xi, "Don't do anything too outrageous. Just let him sleep peacefully."
Tang Xi laughed in her heart. Qiao Liang was the most difficult person to coax. Maybe she had to seduce him with her honey to make him go to sleep.
But she still nodded and said, "You can leave now."
Seeing that his sister had promised him, Xiao Jing went to work with a peace of mind. As long as his boss didn't die, he could become a high-class man. If his sister successfully coaxed that man to sleep today, he would take her to fulfill her promise and choose her favorite limited-edition sports car!
After Xiao Jing went out, Tang Xi took a step towards Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang looked at her and frowned. Tang Xi took another step forward and Qiao Liang subconsciously took a step back. Tang Xi took another step forward and Qiao Liang retreated again and again until Qiao Liang leaned against his desk and couldn't move any further.
Tang Xi smiled, put her arms around Qiao Liang's neck and asked in a low voice, "Do you think you're dreaming?"
Qiao Liang's eyes turned red. He looked deeply at Tang Xi who was standing in front of him and grunted, saying hoarsely, "It's not real."
Tang Xi felt a lump in her throat. Thinking of what she had seen in Long Beach, she took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Qiao Liang's mouth. "Is it real now?"
Soft lips landed on the corner of his own lips. It was warm, not cold.
Qiao Liang held Tang Xi's head and kissed her hard, but Tang Xi dodged his kiss. He stared at Tang Xi with bloodshot eyes. Tang Xi smiled, hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Go to sleep. You can kiss me when you wake up."
Qiao Liang frowned. "I can't sleep."
"Are you afraid of nightmares?" She knew that Qiao Liang was suffering from insomnia, but she didn't expect that he hadn't fallen asleep at all. If he kept struggling like this, he would collapse sooner or later.
Outside the door, Xiao Jing looked at the mask and cap thrown on the ground and the corner of his eyes twitched. How could this girl just throw her weapons on the ground? She was so unhygienic!
Xiao Jing reluctantly picked up his hat and walked to his office.
But before he entered the office, he was stopped by someone. The little secretary looked at Xiao Jing with a gossipy look in her eyes. "President Xiao, President Xiao, who is the girl who just went in wearing a mask and cap?!"
This was big news! President Xiao, who had never been attracted to women, actually had a female customer, and after she went in, President Xiao was driven out! It seemed that there was a chance this time!
Xiao Jing snorted at the secretary's gossipy look. "You think too much. She's just a super hypnotist."
"Why does President Xiao hire a hypnotist?" The secretary continued to ask.
Xiao Jing took a deep look at the secretary and sneered. "How can you be President Qiao's secretary? Don't you know that President Qiao wants to develop his medical business? Don't you know how popular hypnosis is nowadays? " As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Let me tell you, President Qiao is going to learn hypnotism. After he learns it, I'm afraid that there will be no secrets in your secretary's office that can be hidden from him." He opened the door to his office and shut the little secretary outside.
The secretary was stunned. Was President Qiao going to develop into an all-rounder?
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang who was sitting on the sofa and refused to go to sleep, and sighed. "Is it because of that finger?"
Qiao Liang paused. "How do you know?"
Tang Xi took Qiao Liang's hand and walked into the lounge. Qiao Liang's office was exactly the same as hers. She found it as soon as she came in. She felt warm and bitter in her heart. He had done so much for her, but she didn't know it before.
"Ah Liang, you know I was in a coma for more than a week." Tang Xi pulled Qiao Liang to sit on the bed and let him lie on her lap. She gently massaged his head and said in a low voice, "Do you know where I was this week?"
Qiao Liang looked up at her. She smiled and waved her hand to make him close his eyes. She said softly, "I went to the Pacific Ocean this week and saw how you collapsed. Then I went to Long Beach and saw how you lost yourself and wanted to commit suicide." The movements of her hands gradually became lighter. "Do you know how heartbroken I was when I saw you walking towards the beach? I hurriedly went over to hold you back. I don't know why, but I really held you back. That's what it means to be sincere."
"Was it really you?" Qiao Liang opened his eyes and looked at Tang Xi. He turned over and sat up and gazed deeply at her. "Was it really you? I was held by someone at the beach and I saw that person was you. Wasn't that an illusion? "
Tang Xi nodded and her eyes turned red. "It was me. You weren't an illusion. I was really by your side, but do you know how sad I was when I saw you hurt yourself again and again? Do you know how much I hated myself at that time? I hated myself for not being by your side when you needed me most. So Ah Liang, I'll be by your side from now on. You must take care of yourself, okay? "
Qiao Liang held Tang Xi in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "But I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, you'll be gone. I've dreamed of you. I dreamed that you were by my side and we were very happy in the dream, but when I opened my eyes, I heard someone tell me that they've found your finger. I can't accept that. Xixi, I'm afraid."
Tang Xi couldn't imagine how helpless Qiao Liang sounded when he said "Xixi, I'm afraid" in such a weak and humble tone.
"I'll be with you all the time. I promise I'll be the first person you see when you open your eyes. I'll always be by your side and never leave you. Sleep well, okay?" Tang Xi gently patted Qiao Liang's back. "I'll be with you in your dreams or when you wake up. Sleep well."
