Hongshi Mountain is in a beautiful place in suburban A which is a two-hour drive from the city center. Tang Xi and the Xiao brothers left the house at 7:10 a.m. Xiao Sa looked at Vacheron Constantin's watch on his wrist and said, "We should be able to get there around 9:30 if we drive faster. Once you arrive you may need to try on clothes. The shooting will start at around 10. Rourou, do you have a problem with that?”

Tang Xi followed him out of the door and replied with a smile, "No. I used to serve as an endorser of Empire Group, but I only did a few test shots and it worked fine.”

Realizing that he did not mind mentioning his past in front of them at all, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa felt surprised yet to move on. He is willing to tell them about his past, which shows that he considers them a trusted family in his heart.

Xiao Jing asked, "How much money did Empire Group pay for endorsement?”

Tang Xi smiled slylyly and looked at Xiao Jing. "Empire Group is mine. Do you think I need an attestation fee?”

"Sister, are you showing off your wealth to me?" Xiao Jing joked with Tang Xi as they walked out of the courtyard, after which she opened the car door for Tang Xi.

Tang Xi smiled and winked at Xiao Jing as she said, "Don't be sad, brother. I'm poorer than you now.”

Xiao Sa laughed and told him that after the advertisement was shot today, he would become rich again. Tang Xi turned around to get into the car. Xiao Jing served as their driver. Xiao Sa opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Xiao Jing was about to start the car when the back door opened and she turned around, only to see Qiao Liang. He widened his eyes in astonishment and asked, "When did you come here? No, what are you doing here?”

Tang Xi also looked at Qiao Liang who was sitting beside her in surprise and exclaimed, "When did you come here?”

Qiao Liang sat down and looked at Xiao Jing as he gestured for her to drive, after which he nodded at Xiao Sa to say hello before turning to Tang Xi and asking, "Didn't you ask me to accompany you to Hongshi Mountain and watch you shoot a TV commercial?" A glimmer of doubt flickered in his eyes, but it was clear that he was in a good mood. "Have you forgotten?”

Stared at by her, Tang Xi shook her head blankly as she replied, "No, I think you'll be driving there yourself, and.... and it's inappropriate for you to go with us, right?”

Xiao Jing nodded in agreement as she drove. "Yes!" It's really inappropriate for you, President of the International Group Qiao, a famous figure in China, to accompany a girl to shoot a TV commercial. Wouldn't it ruin your cool image if this news spread?

Qiao Liang looked at Xiao Jing to keep her quiet, before leaning back in his chair and rubbing between his eyebrows. He said in a hoarse voice, "I worked overtime until 3:30 last night, and then I lost sleep. I'm too sleepy to drive.”

Xiao Jing looked at him with her eyes wide open and complained in her heart. Gu Yun will be willing to drive for you! All your men will be willing to push for you! Is it necessary for you to come here early in the morning to share a car with us? You can get up late and ask them to send you there! Or, if you wake up at 10, you could have been sent by your personal helicopter!

However, Tang Xi did not think like this. He immediately felt worried after hearing Qiao Liang mention that He was suffering from insomnia, so he looked at him with a frown and asked in a low voice, "Have you had breakfast? You don't have to accompany me. Back to sleep.”

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa nodded loudly at his words. The latter said, "Yes, Qiao Liang, you didn't sleep well last night. You don't have to go with us. We'll protect Rourou. You don't have to worry about him.”

Listening to Tang Xi's words of concern, Qiao Liang ignored the implications in Xiao Sa's words. She rubbed Tang Xi's hair lovingly and said flatly, "I can't sleep in bed, so I might as well come and see you filming a TV commercial.”

With this thought in mind, Tang Xi grabbed her hand and whispered, "Stay on my shoulder and sleep well.”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked very sad. Brother! How could you be fooled by him so easily? He just wants your sympathy! Can't you realize that? The two brothers exchanged bitter looks but dared not say anything and could only burn with jealousy…

Qiao Liang smiled but did not lean on Tang Xi's shoulder to sleep. He instead asked gently, "Are you bringing food because you didn't have breakfast this morning?”

Tang Xi frowned and started fumbling her bag, after which she took out two pieces of bread and a box of milk that she wanted to eat on the way and handed them to her, saying, "Your stomach is not good. Why didn't you eat something before you came here?”

Qiao Liang took over the bread, biting it and sipping milk before looking at him and replying, "I'm Afraid you've gone.”

Tang Xi blinked and almost cried. Maybe Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa didn't understand it, but he did. Staring at him, his voice hoarse as he said, "I will not leave you. Ah Liang, I swear I won't leave you. Whenever you want to see me, I'll be there. You know?”

Qiao Liang stopped as he looked at her and smiled. "I know.”

I didn't know that you really wouldn't leave me until I saw you.

The two bachelors sitting in front felt as if they were shot in the heart by their sweet words. Xiao Jing gritted her teeth and looked at Qiao Liang, saying, "I remember that your insomnia is not so serious. Would you like to see a psychiatrist?”

Qiao Liang slowly turned his gaze to Xiao Jing and asked the question calmly, even though his voice was cold. "Do you think I'm crazy?”

Xiao Jing frowned. "You know I didn't mean that. Many psychiatrists can cure insomnia. You can try. You can't sleep well, so maybe..."

Feeling that the/it air around Qiao Liang was gradually gaining weight, Tang Xi hurriedly interrupted their conversation. "Qiao Liang doesn't need to see a psychologist. He was too worried about me to fall asleep. I will accompany him for a while this afternoon and help him sleep well.”

"What?!" Xiao Sa shouted. "You will accompany Qiao Liang to sleep?”

Qiao Liang slowly ate his bread without batting an eyelid and looked at Xiao Sa, asking, "Is there a problem with that?”

"Of course there is!" Xiao Sa growled. "You ate my sister's bread and even asked her to sleep with you? Do you have my permission to do it?”

Tang Xi was speechless. "Sa ..." In fact, he has got my permission…
