Tang Xi and Qiao Liang hadn't walked far when Qiao Liang suddenly picked her up. She subconsciously put her arms around Qiao Liang's neck and stared blankly at him. Qiao Liang glanced down at her and then at her bleeding soles. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, "You'd better behave yourself."
Tang Xi stayed obediently in his arms and chuckled. "I dare not be naughty when I'm with you."
Qiao Liang looked down and glared at her. If she had behaved herself, she wouldn't have ended up like this!
Qiao Liang said, "Tang Xi, I'll only say this one last time. Don't get hurt, or I don't know what crazy things I'll do!" He held Tang Xi who was wet all over and didn't care whether his clothes were wet or not. He said coldly, "If you want to get revenge and find out who set you up, I can help you, but you can't get hurt. Do you hear me?"
Tang Xi's hands around Qiao Liang's neck paused. She frowned and looked up at Qiao Liang with a cold smile. She stared at Qiao Liang and said unyieldingly, "Qiao Liang, we're together because I love you, but I want to solve my own problems by myself. You can't do that for me. If you can't, I'll leave you!"
Qiao Liang suddenly stopped and the air around him suddenly became cold. The two of them seemed to be surrounded by a storm. Qiao Liang glared at Tang Xi and said coldly, "Say it again!"
Tang Xi raised her chin and looked at Qiao Liang with a cold and resolute look, as if the person she was facing was not the man she loved but her business enemy. She said coldly, "I said, if you want to keep me in a cage like a canary, I'll find a way to escape from you, even if I have to die!"
Qiao Liang was completely enraged by the word 'die'. His anger swept over him like a storm. He stood there holding Tang Xi in his arms, sneered and looked down at Tang Xi. "I must be crazy to …"
The rest of his words were stuck in his throat by Tang Xi's kiss. Qiao Liang's anger instantly dissipated and was replaced by surprise and shock. Tang Xi still put her arms around his neck, but the look on her face was not as cold as before. Instead, it was replaced by a gentle smile. She said, "Ah Liang, I also want to stand at the top of the pyramid and look down at the world with you, instead of standing at the bottom of the pyramid and looking up at you. Do you understand?"
Qiao Liang's heart suddenly pounded. "Just because of this?"
Tang Xi nodded. "Yes, you know my former identity. It's totally different from my current identity. In the past, even if I just lay at home, the world's moguls would bow to me, but now it's different. I'm a person who even dares to bully a small assistant. If I keep hiding behind you, I'll become a good-for-nothing, won't I?"
Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi and didn't speak anymore. He carried Tang Xi to the lounge, put her on the sofa and went to find clothes for her to change into. When Tang Xi came out of the dressing room, Qiao Liang had found a first-aid kit and was dressing the wound on the sole of her foot.
Tang Xi couldn't help but smile when she thought of how Qiao Liang didn't throw her to the ground even though he was so angry just now. She touched his face and said with a gentle smile, "Ah Liang, I know you're very busy. You don't have to follow me every day. I'm an adult. I won't get lost …"
"I'll get lost." With that, Qiao Liang lowered his head to treat her wound.
Tang Xi was stunned by his words. He would get lost … did he mean he had lost her once, so he wouldn't lose her again this time?
Tang Xi's heart instantly turned sour …
Just then, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. Tang Xi looked up only to see Ning Yan, He Wanning and the Xiao brothers come in. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, while Qiao Liang was still treating Tang Xi's wound as if there was no one else around. Xiao Jing took a look at Tang Xi and the latter nodded with a smile. Then he said, "I've found out that Xiao Jinning bribed a male assistant of Ning Yan's company to frame the model who snatched her advertising contract. She didn't expect the model to be you."
"It's her?" Tang Xi was a bit surprised. She hadn't seen Xiao Jinning for a long time. She hadn't even met Xiao Jinning when the fake and real Xiao Jinning's daughter were found. She didn't expect that it was Xiao Jinning who was injured again.
Ning Yan clenched his fists, coughed awkwardly and looked at Tang Xi apologetically. "It's my fault. If I had been prepared, this wouldn't have happened. I've fired that assistant. As for Xiao Jinning, I'll sue her after I get the confession and transfer records from the assistant."
Tang Xi nodded with a smile. "Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Ning Yan waved his hand. "It happened because of me. I should deal with it." Looking at Tang Xi's wound which had been bandaged by Qiao Liang, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But I still have a suggestion for you. Xiao Jinning is a scourge. You'd better get rid of her as soon as possible."
Tang Xi nodded and was about to speak, when Yang Jingxian called her. Tang Xi picked up the call. She didn't know what Yang Jingxian said, but she scowled and jumped to her feet. "I see. I'll be right there."
Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked at her at the same time. "What's wrong?"
Tang Xi scowled and said seriously, "Aunt was injured. She was pushed downstairs by her mother."
"What?!" Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were stunned. "Pushed downstairs?!"
Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi, frowned and said seriously, "I'll take you there." He bent down, picked up Tang Xi and walked out.
Tang Xi looked at her cell phone. There were many missed calls, all from Yang Jingxian. This must have happened a long time ago.
Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa didn't stay any longer. They told He Wanning to call him if he needed anything and left.
Ning Yan looked at their hurried backs and shook his head. "I didn't expect this family to be so messy." He smacked his lips and said, "I didn't expect Qiao Liang would get involved in such a messy family."
He had thought Qiao Liang would always be the kind of man who wouldn't mess with a woman, but from the moment Xiao Rou fell into the water, he knew that Qiao Liang had fallen into the hands of a little girl.
After Qiao Liang carried Tang Xi down the mountain, they got in the car and Xiao Sa drove to the hospital.
Xiao Sa was racing along the way, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the hospital. Tang Xi suddenly thought of something and stopped.
