"Ah Liang, don't talk to me like this." Tang Xi said, tears flowing from her eyes.

Qiao Liang's cold heart suddenly jolted with his tears. She grabbed Tang Xi by the shoulder and asked angrily, "Who are you? How do you know Xixi's email address and password?! Why are you pretending to be him and sending emails on his behalf?”

Tang Xi smiled bitterly. “I think you will always recognize me no matter what I become,” whispered, staring at Qiao Liang who suddenly froze. "Ah Liang, I'm Xixi."

As if struck by lightning all of a sudden, Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi deeply and said coldly, "Don't make me ask you a third time!"

“I don't know why!” Tang Xi shouted, biting her lips as she looked at the man who did not believe her. He continued, “The plane suddenly snapped so hard that I fell into the sea before I had time to react. I saw myself smashed to pieces and when I woke up, I had become Xiao Rou.”

"Are you really Xixi?" It seemed like Qiao Liang believed him.

Tang Xi stopped. He thought it would be difficult to convince Qiao Liang.

Tang Xi jumped forward to hug Qiao Liang and her tears wetted her clothes. He nodded loudly, saying, “Yes, yes, yes, I am Xixi. After I woke up, it didn't take long to accept the fact that I had become Xiao Rou because I was still alive. At least I can try to get back to Grandpa. At least the person who wanted to kill me failed.”

“Then why didn't you tell me about this when I met you at the sanatorium?” Qiao Liang's voice was low and hoarse. She remembers she looked strange when she saw her in the sanatorium the other day, but she didn't notice; she just went to the side to call and then saw her talking to her mother before coming.

Then he heard her say, 'Aunt Qiao, your son is really handsome.'

“Of course it's because I was still mad at you back then.” Tang Xi let go of Qiao Liang's hand and smiled sadly. “You didn't come to me after all these years. Of course I'm angry. Besides, I suddenly became Rourou back then. If I were to rush to your face and tell you that I am Tang Xi, you would probably lock me up in a mental institution."

Qiao Liang looked at the girl who told his story with a light tone and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes. Tang Xi sat on the ground and looked at Qiao Liang, saying, "Just when Jing told me what happened to you in the past years, I found out how much you suffered, Jing said, how you tried to contact me."

"Nobody told you that I wanted to see you?" Qiao Liang asked with a frown. "Qin Xinying didn't tell you about me going to your house to see you and sending you a lot of emails?"

Tang Xi's heart sank. Suddenly, countless images flashed through his mind. He shook his head and smiled before replying, “Xinying loves you, but we are not aware of it. How could he possibly tell me about those things?”

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes. As he expected—that woman had played them both!

Tang Xi extended her hand to Qiao Liang, who came to her, grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He then said in a low voice, "So you called me when you know what I'm doing to you, but you don't dare to talk, so you sent me an email?"

Tang Xi nodded. “I'm afraid you can't accept this unimaginable story. When you asked me just now, I was still afraid you wouldn't trust me, that you might even push me down from this place."

"If you hadn't told me that you were Xixi, I might have really pushed you down from here." Qiao Liang hugged Tang Xi so tightly as if she would disappear if she let go. "Whoever you are now, it's enough that you're still alive."

"You already knew that I was Tang Xi before I told you, didn't you?" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang, who was not someone who would easily believe in others, especially when it came to matters concerning him.

While Tang Xi was dumbfounded, Qiao Liang added, “I checked Xiao Rou's past, including when she was at Hengshan Middle School. His academic performance was not very good, and he was very insecure. However, Xiao Rou who attended City A Secondary School was like a different person. His academic performance is good and he is confident and brave.”

He did not know the old Xiao Rou, but he was very familiar with the new one.

Tang Xi hugged Qiao Liang tightly. "Thank you, thank you for loving me so much."

…

At this point in time, the seven people in the personal space became impatient. It had been almost an hour since the two of them left! Xiao Yao stood up and opened the door to exit, when Little Five immediately came to stop him. He said with a laugh, “Master Xiao, can you wait a moment? Our young master will return your sister soon. Please help me and don't bother them, okay?”

Xiao Yao glanced at Little Five coldly and said in a cold voice, "Side away."

Instead of retreating, Little Five looked at Xiao Jing pleading. "Master Xiao Jing, please talk to Young Master Yao. You know the temperament of our young master. He would be angry if he did not achieve his goal. We will suffer then!”

He Wanzhou walked over and said angrily to Little Five, “We know your young master is weird—we are almost used to his strange temperament after so many years—but Rourou is just a little girl. Your young master never had a soft heart for a fair relationship. What if he hurts Rourou?”

Little Five smiled and said, “Master He, you misunderstood about our young master. He knows how to treat a woman.”

Ning Yan raised his eyebrows as he asked, “Didn't your young master go to build a factory in the Pacific Ocean? Why did he suddenly rush back? Was it because she heard the Xiao Family daughter was very beautiful, so she came back to chase after her?"

His words immediately irritated the Xiao brothers. Seeing that he had managed to sow discord between them, Ning Yan smiled triumphantly and no longer spoke.

He Wanyi also frowned. He didn't think Rourou could withstand Qiao Liang's 'torture', although he didn't look very angry when he went out.

But as a fickle person, he might not be polite to Rourou…

The crowd was worried, as Tang Xi and Qiao Liang came side by side. Although they did not speak, the others could see a smile on Qiao Liang's face, while Tang Xi also looked pleased.

Seeing the crowd looking at him, Qiao Liang came and gestured for Little Five to leave. After Little Five left, she said, “Just now, I have something to ask Xiao Rou. Sorry I'm a little rude. I'll pay the bill tonight."

"What's so important to make our Mr Qiao come alone?" Ning Yan asked with a smile. "And rush at it."

Qiao Liang turned to look at Tang Xi and said with a smile, "I just asked Xiao Rou if she wants to be my girlfriend." He spoke in such a calm tone of voice as if he said the weather was good today.
