  Tang Xi gave a faint smile and had a naughty gleam in her eyes. She gently patted Qiao Liang and said, “What are you talking about? I’m going to prepare for the acupuncture treatment.” Then she stood up but Qiao Liang quickly dragged her back down and asked with a smile. “What do you need to prepare for the acupuncture treatment?”


  “I need to be mentally prepared, okay?” Tang Xi glanced at Qiao Liang, and ran towards the bathroom. Qiao Liang who was sitting on the sofa looked at her back and shook his head with a smile. Qiao Yuxin looked at him and complained. “I never see you smile at me like this.”


  Qiao Liang was smiling and the sense of depression he had after hearing Tang Xi’s words had dissipated. He leaned back, looked at the direction of the bathroom and said, “That’s because you’re my mom whilst she is my girlfriend.”


  It took Qiao Yuxin two seconds to figure out what he meant. His son was showing off his girlfriend to her! She wanted to refute, but when she remembered it had been the first time she saw Qiao Liang so happy compared to the last five years, she didn’t have the heart to blame him, so she smiled and shook her head. “It’s just because I’m your mom that I tolerate you.”


  Qiao Liang shrugged. At this time, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, stood up and walked out to pick up the phone.

  When Tang Xi walked out of the bathroom, Qiao Liang was still on the phone. Tang Xi gave Qiao Yuxin a questioning look when she didn’t see Qiao Liang, and Qiao Yuxin said with a smile, “He is out answering a phone call.” Tang Xi smiled and began to perform acupuncture for Qiao Yuxin.

  After sticking the needles into Qiao Yuxin’s body, Tang Xi sat on the side and began to watch TV. Qiao Yuxin took a look at Tang Xi who was watching TV attentively and raised her eyebrows. “Aren’t you going to have a look outside?”


  Tang Xi looked at Qiao Yuxin in surprise. She then smiled and said, “Maybe he is is talking about business, so I think I’d better not disturb him.”


  “Rourou, you’re really a good girl.” Qiao Yuxin patted her hand. “I’m glad you are so considerate towards Ah Liang.”


  Qiao Liang came in half an hour later. Tang Xi was taking the needles out of Qiao Yuxin’s body. When she heard Qiao Liang come in, she raised her head and smiled at him. Qiao Liang asked, “Have you finished the acupuncture?”


  Tang Xi nodded. “It will be finished in ten minutes.”
……

  In the car, Qiao Liang massaged Tang Xi’s hand and said gently, “Thank you.”


  Tang Xi smiled and leaned against his shoulder; she looked up at Qiao Liang’s side profile and grunted lazily. “You’re welcome, but you gotta reward me in return.”


  Qiao Liang smiled and kissed her on the forehead. “My men have found Chu Ling and sent him off on a plane. He will be in City A tomorrow.”


  Tang Xi’s eyes lit up and she sat up. “Really? Then I can concentrate on my studies and ask Chu Ling to help me manage my company!”


  Qiao Liang smiled. “Yes, and I want to introduce two friends of mine to you, childhood friends.”


  “Childhood friends?” Tang Xi asked. She had thought she had met or heard of all of his childhood friends. Were there still somore that she had no idea about?

  Qiao Liang smiled as if he had guessed what she was thinking. “I came to know them in Country M. They were sent abroad when they were little, just like me. We came to know each other and found similarities in our situations. We are friends in adversity, you could say that we are bosom friends.”


  Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Will you tell them my secret?”


  Qiao Liang smiled. “Ning Yan and the others don’t know my relationship with Tang Xi, but they know.”


  Tang Xi nodded. “I see.” So the two of them were the real friends of Qiao Liang.

  Xiao Jing and the others had almost been completely drunk when Tang Xi and Qiao Liang reached the ‘Romantic Night’, so they shouted at them that Qiao Liang had to drink three toasts as an apology because they came too late. Qiao Liang was in a good mood, so he didn’t refuse and drank up the three toasts. They didn’t ask Tang Xi to drink, and she ran to He Wanyi and sat beside her as soon as she entered the room. Ning Yan smiled when he saw Tang Xi and He Wanyi were chatting happily. “Hey, Qiao Liang, your girlfriend forgot you as soon as she saw our big star. Be careful not to let our big star steal your girlfriend from you.”


  Although Qiao Liang knew Tang Xi was talking about the cooperation issue with He Wanyi, he was kinda unhappy when he saw Tang Xi stick to He Wanyi as soon as she entered the room. He leaned back and took a look at Tang Xi, saying with a smile. “She has business to talk with Wanyi.”


  Tang Xi immediately nodded. “Yes, I’m going to invite Sister Wanyi to be my company’s endorser. We’re talking about our cooperation. Director Ning, don’t say that. Sister Wanyi and I are both straight!”


  Ning Yan was about to refute her when he noticed she said she was going to invite He Wanyi to be her company’s endorser, so he immediately asked, “Your company? What kind of company? And you even need an endorser?”


  Before Tang Xi answered, He Wanzhou who was sitting on the side broke into the conversation with great interest. “Little Rourou, I remember you just came back from the countryside several months ago, right? And you’re already about to start a company? Will your grandpa give you the money for it? You’re moving too fast! The business circle is not so easy to survive. You can tell it just from looking at my case……”


  Tang Xi knew what he was thinking. They thought it was strange or even incredible for her to start a company now. In any case, Xiao Rou was just a country girl growing up in the mountains. In their opinion, she was only an ignorant little girl, and hadn’t reached their level. However, she was actually Tang Xi. She didn’t have much time to waste waiting around, so she must be quick, even at the cost of lying to others.

  Qiao Liang frowned when he heard He Wanzhou’s words, and Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa also scowled. Xiao Sa said, “What are you talking about? Rourou won’t even waste a single penny.”


  Xiao Jing immediately nodded. “Yes, Rourou is talented in design, so she’ll open a jewelry and garment design company. And she didn’t ask us for money but used her endorsement fee as the start-up capital.”


  Ning Yan tried to ease the atmosphere. As soon as Xiao Jing finished speaking, Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi and said, “The TV commercial you shot is really popular. It’s great to keep going this direction. Why don’t you choose to enter the entertainment circle instead?”


  Tang Xi smiled and answered, “In fact, every circle has its rules. I chose design as my career not because it’s easy, but because I like designing. I just like it.”
