  Tang Xi hurriedly went into the bathroom and changed. Then she took off the skin mask and became Xiao Rou. She looked at Qiao Liang and asked with a frown, “How will we get out of here?”


  Now the journalists were still waiting outside. If they came out rashly, they would definitely doubt them.

  Qiao Liang smiled, pointed at the ventilation opening on the ceiling and said, “Little Five and Little Six are already waiting for us at the stairs. Let’s get out by going through here.”


  Tang Xi looked at the ventilation opening that was diameter of thirty centimeters. The corner of her eyes twitched and she gave Qiao Liang a questioning look before asking him, “Are you sure we can get out from here?”


  Qiao Liang smiled and put a chair under the ventilation opening. He then opened it and jumped up before nimbly climbing in. Then he reached out towards Tang Xi who no longer had any hesitation. She stood on the chair and gave her hand to Qiao Liang, the latter held her hand and pulled her up. Then he took a look at Tang Xi and said gently, “Just follow me.”


  Tang Xi closely followed Qiao Liang and felt a little tired. Seeing how Qiao Liang didn’t look tired at all, Tang Xi realized how weak she was once again. She pursed her lips and swore in her heart that she would become stronger one day.

  Twenty minutes later, the two of them finally crawled out of the ventilation opening. Little Five and Little Six had been waiting at the exit. Seeing the ventilation opening slightly shaking, they hurriedly came up to help them out.

  Qiao Liang jumped out of the ventilation opening and reached out towards Tang Xi who hesitated. It was so high that once she jumped down, Qiao Liang would probably be injured if he tried to catch her, so she shook her head at Qiao Liang. “Let me jump myself.”


  Qiao Liang urged, “Hurry up. It’ll be troublesome if people find us.”


  Little Five who was standing at the side curled his lips when he heard this. Young Master, you’re just acting. It’s Long Xiao’s hospital. You didn’t have to come out from the ventilation opening at all! You did this just to show your masculinity to Miss Tang, right? You already had your men surround the ward. No outsider could have even approached this ward!

  However, Little Five certainly wouldn’t say these words out loud. He smiled at Tang Xi and said, “Miss Xiao, Young Master is right. Take it easy. It’s safe to jump down. Young Master will catch you.”


  Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang who nodded at her. She jumped down and Qiao Liang caught her. Tang Xi looked at him in surprise. She jumped from such a height and Qiao Liang must have had to bear a great impact force when caught her. How could he catch her without being injured?

  Seeing Tang Xi’s look, Little Six explained to her with a smile, “Miss Tang, Young Master’s arms can take the force of four hundred kilograms, so you don’t have to worry about him.”


  Tang Xi turned her eyes to Qiao Liang in surprise who rubbed at her hair and led her to walk towards the next floor as he said, “I’ve been working out since I was still a child. Catching you is as easy as pie to me.”


  Tang Xi gazed at Qiao Liang. It seemed that she didn’t know Qiao Liang well enough. Why did he work out since he was still a child? He must have taken great pains to gain such strength. From what she knew of Aunt Qiao, she wouldn’t make her son experience so many tribulations……

  Looking into Tang Xi’s eyes, Qiao Liang smiled. “I’ll explain it to you in the future.”


  Tang Xi nodded. “The longer I stay with you, the more I find that I didn’t know you well enough.”


  “That’s because you didn’t have the chance, but now it’s different. You have plenty of time to get to know me.” Qiao Liang said and hugged Tang Xi tightly.

  Seeing the two of them starting to play lovey dovey again, Little Five and Little Six exchanged a glance silently. They shouldn’t have taken this task. They should have given this job to others……

  When Tang Xi and Qiao Liang arrived at the restaurant, it was 11am and the others had all arrived. Seeing them come in, He Wanzhou jested, “Oh, you two always come so late. We’ve been waiting for you for almost an hour.”


  Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t the lunch starting at 11 am?” She asked in doubt. Did Qiao Liang get the time wrong?

  He Wanzhou paused and nodded. “Yes, it will start at 11 am.”


  Tang Xi nodded with a smile. “Then we aren’t late. We arrived exactly on time.”


  He Wanyi signaled Tang Xi to sit beside her and said to her with a smile, “My brother was messing with you. We just arrived and haven’t ordered any of the dishes yet. Feel free to order the dishes you like.”


  Tang Xi nodded with a smile. He Wanzhou looked at her and said, “Rourou, didn’t you say you would invite that Tang Xi to be your endorser? How is your plan going? Has she agreed?”


  Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Brother He seems to care about our company very much.”


  He Wanning shrugged and Ning Yan jested, “He doesn’t care about your company, but the heiress to the Empire Group. He was so excited when he saw that girl yesterday and even called me to talk about this.”


  “She is a charming young lady indeed.” He Wanzhou didn’t cover up that he had a crush on Tang Xi and didn’t notice the cold gleam in Qiao Liang’s eyes when the latter heard his words. He Wanzhou continued, “Besides, Tang Xi has already broken up with Qiao Liang. Every man has a chance now. I didn’t know in the past that we studied at the same university. Now I feel we are somewhat closer.”


  Then he said in fascination, “I suddenly have an impulse to get married.”


  “.……” Tang Xi who was drinking water was stunned by his words. He Wanzhou noticed her look and gave her a fawning smile, saying, “Rourou, you must persuade Tang Xi to be your company’s endorser. My future counts on you.”


  “.……”


  Seeing that Tang Xi was completely stupefied, He Wanzhou narrowed his eyes, asking, “Rourou, why are you giving me that look?”


  “What makes you think she will accept your wooing?” Qiao Liang who remained silent suddenly snorted and said coldly.

  He Wanzhou’s face darkened when he heard Qiao Liang’s words. He asked angrily, “What do you mean? Do you mean I don’t deserve her? Do you still love her?”


  Ning Yan tugged on He Wanning’s arm. Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and within his gaze was a chilly gleam. He Wanning stared at Qiao Liang and yelled, “What? I can’t chase her even though you two broke up so long ago? Who do you think you are?”
