After Tang Xi and Qiao Liang walked for a while, he was suddenly taken in by Qiao Liang. He involuntarily hugged her neck and looked at her. Qiao Liang looked down at him, then at his bloody feet, and his eyes were filled with fury. "You better behave yourself.”

Tang Xi tamely stayed in her arms and chuckled. "I never dared not to behave around you.”

Qiao Liang glared at him again. If he behaves alone, he won't get hurt!

Qiao Liang warned, "Tang Xi, let me tell you one last time. Don't get hurt, or I don't know what crazy thing I'm gonna do!" She hugged the soaked Tang Xi, no matter if her clothes would get wet, and continued in a deep voice, "If you want to take revenge and find out who killed you, you will have to kill you, I Can Help You, But You can't get yourself hurt. Understand?”

Tang Xi paused for a moment to raise an eyebrow before looking at Qiao Liang and then she smiled, but her eyes were ice-cold. He looked at Qiao Liang as, in a harsh tone, he said, "Qiao Liang, we are together because I love you, but I wish I could finish my own things. You can't make a decision for me. If you cannot do this, I'll leave you!”

Qiao Liang suddenly stopped walking and the air around him became cold as if surrounded by a storm. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi angrily and uttered seriously, "Say that again!”

Tang Xi raised her chin to shoot a cold and stern look at Qiao Liang, as if the man she was facing was not her loved one but an enemy in business. He said coldly, "I said, If you want to look after me like a canary in a cage, I will do everything I can to get away from you, even at the expense of my life!”

His words truly angered Qiao Liang and his emotions erupted like a storm. She stood there holding Tang Xi as she looked at Tang Xi with a sneer. "I must be crazy for..."

Her words were forced into her throat by Tang Xi's sudden kiss. His anger soon dissipated and was replaced by surprise and shock. Tang Xi was still hugging her neck, but the expression on her face was no longer as hard and cold as a moment ago. Wearing a gentle smile, he said, "Ah Liang, I also want to stand at the top of the pyramid, look down at the common herd with you, rather than stand below and stare at you. Can you understand?”

Qiao Liang felt his heart jolt sharply. "Just because of this?”

Tang Xi nodded. "Yes. You know my previous identity is completely different from my current identity. In the past, all the big shots in the world would have bowed to me even if I was just lying at home, but now it's completely different. I've become someone even a little assistant would dare to bully. If I just hid behind you, wouldn't I be trash?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi, but in the end did not say anything. She brought Tang Xi to the lounge and placed her on the sofa, after which she went to look for clothes for him. After Tang Xi came out of the changing room, she found the first aid box and started dressing the wound on her leg.

Thinking about how Qiao Liang did not throw him to the ground but still hugged him tightly despite his previous angry moments, Tang Xi could not help but smile. He reached out to touch her face with a sweet smile. "Ah Liang, I know you're very busy. You don't have to stay by my side every day. I'm an adult and I won't get lost..."

"Yes, you will." With that said, Qiao Liang lowered his head to continue dressing his wounds.

Tang Xi was dumbfounded at her words... Did he mean that he had already lost her once, so he would not lose her again?

Tang Xi suddenly felt sad…

"Here we go?" Tang Xi was a little surprised. He had not seen Xiao Jinning for a long time. Even when the matter of the real and fake princess was revealed, she had yet to meet him. To his surprise, Xiao Jinning was once again the person behind this incident.

Ning Yan covered his mouth with a fist and coughed awkwardly before sending an apologetic look at Tang Xi. "this is my fault. If I were more alert, this would not happen. Assistant fired. As for Xiao Jinning, I will sue him after getting the acknowledgement and money transfer note from the assistant.”

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. "OK, sorry to bother you.”

Ning Yan waved his hand. "It's my fault, so I have to handle it."Looking at the wound that Qiao Liang had wrapped up, he raised an eyebrow. "But I want to tell you that Xiao Jinning is a curse and you should get rid of her as soon as possible.”

Tang Xi nodded and was about to speak when Yang Jingxian called out to her. Tang Xi answered the phone. Hearing the words that Jingxian had on the phone, she pouted and jumped up. "I understand. I'll be there soon.”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing stared at him at the same time. "What's up?”

Tang Xi frowned and replied solemnly, "Auntie is hurt. Her mother pushed her down the stairs.”

"What!" Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were shocked. "Push him down the stairs?!”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi with a frown, saying, "I'll send you there." Then she leaned over to pick up Tang Xi and went out.

Tang Xi checked her phone only to find many missed calls from Yang Jingxian. The accident should have happened a long time ago.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa wanted to leave as well. They told Him to call them if there was a problem and then leave.

Seeing them leave in a hurry, Ning Yan tutted and shook his head. "I didn't expect the Xiao family to become so messy." He clicked his tongue and said, "What surprised me more was that Qiao Liang was willing to get involved in such a messy family.”

He thought Qiao Liang would always be the type of man who was not interested in women, but ever since Xiao Rou fell into the water, he knew that Qiao Liang had fallen in love with this little girl who had stolen his heart.

After Qiao Liang brought Tang Xi down the mountain, they boarded a car and Xiao Sa went straight to the hospital.

It did not take long for them to reach the hospital, as Xiao Sa raced along the way. As soon as they entered the hospital, something suddenly happened to Tang Xi and she stopped her steps.
