Tang Xi saw Xiao Sa leave angrily, then she winked at Qiao Liang mischievously and asked, "Do you think Sa will try to embarrass you when you come to our house to propose to me?”

Qiao Liang was happy to hear Tang Xi talk to him about marriage in an explicit way. He reached out to take Tang Xi's hand and whispered, "It's okay. I could invest in his gaming company, or I could kidnap him and not release him until your family approves our marriage.”

Tang Xi blinked and looked at Qiao Liang. "Why do I feel you suddenly become so unreliable?”

"Then my future wife, please leave kind words in the ears of my future sister-in-law to me," Qiao Liang said with a smile.

Tang Xi glanced at him with a frown. "Then Kiss me.”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi, his eyes darkened, and his voice was a little hoarse as he asked, "Why are you so enthusiastic today?”

"A kiss or not?" Tang Xi replied with a wink. "If you don't kiss me today, you won't have another chance tomorrow.”

Qiao Liang leaned forward and kissed Tang Xi on the lips. Tang Xi wrapped her arms around her neck to prevent Qiao Liang from leaving. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi deeply and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't fully recovered yet.”

As Tang Xi felt Qiao Liang's body temperature clearly rise, a triumphant smile flashed across her eyes and she let go of Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang looked at his victorious expression, narrowed his eyes and bowed to continue this kiss. Tang Xi stared blankly at Qiao Liang and she slightly let go. "Your waist won't hurt when I kiss you.”

Tang Xi's face turned red. Even though he and Qiao Liang were very close before and had almost done everything a lover would do, they had not gotten to the last step. In fact, he and Qiao Liang were a little conservative and wanted to leave these fond memories to the wedding night, but then the accident happened…

Tang Xi involuntarily hugged Qiao Liang's neck in response to her kiss…

Just as they were kissing, a shy voice suddenly came from the doorway. "Well, I didn't see anything. Please go. I'll come later..."

Tang Xi pushed Qiao Liang to the side and the latter tripped, almost falling down. He looks a little embarrassed. Qiao Liang swore that this was the first time in his life that he felt so ashamed…

The policeman, who had just spoken, stood shyly in the doorway looking at the two of them. Tang Xi really wanted to pull the blanket over herself. How could he forget this was a hospital, a public place?! He could not help Fondling With Qiao Liang once he saw his face!

Oh, how embarrassing!

Qiao Liang steadied his body and continued his relaxed demeanor. As her kiss with Tang Xi was cut off, her aura turned icy cold. He glanced at the policeman and narrowed his eyes. His voice was so cold that the policeman felt as if he was in hell. Qiao Liang asked, "What's up?”

Still standing in the doorway, the policeman hesitantly pulled out a cell phone, swallowed and said, "Head Lan asked me to deliver Miss Xiao this phone..."

How awful! This man was even scarier than the furious Chief Lan.

Why don't you close the door while kissing! I can't be blamed!

This is really embarrassing!

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi, who grinned nodding to Qiao Liang before turning to the police. "Thank you, sir," he said. "Please say hello to Chief Lan for me, thank you.”

Qiao Liang walked over and picked up the phone. The policeman turned around and fled as if he had been granted amnesty by the time Qiao Liang picked up the phone. This guy is really scary. How could such a handsome man be so scary?! Gods!

Watching the police leave, Qiao Liang closed the door, locked it and then put the phone on the nightstand. He asked, "Is this Xiao Jinning's phone?”

Tang Xi nodded, picked up the phone and looked at the screen. There were five or six missed calls. He wanted to undo the screen lock, but it was the iPhone and only Xiao Jinning's fingerprint could unlock the screen. Unable to check Xiao Jinning's call records, Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang, asking for his help. Qiao Liang reached out his hand to pick up the phone and casually tapped on the screen before handing it back to Tang Xi, who received it only to find the screen had been opened by him. He raised his eyebrows. "Ah Liang, you are always the best.”

Qiao Liang watched as Tang Xi opened Xiao Jinning's address book and discovered that there really was someone named Qin Xinying inside. Tang Xi hesitated before tapping on the stored phone number and then she smiled sadly, saying, "This is really Xinying's phone number. I never expected one day we would be enemies.”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi Yang Sadly and asked with a frown, "Why do you trust him so much?”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and replied, "What do you mean?”

"Have you never thought about why the accident happened to you?”

Tang Xi was silent. Qiao Liang's words reminded him and brought out things he didn't want to think about. Of course, he doubted Qin Xinying, but he did not want to believe her before he had proof. However, what Xinying did spoke for herself.

"Of course I've thought about it. Xinying is my only friend and knows everything about me, but I've trusted her since I was a child. How could I consider him an enemy in an instant?" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and sighed. "I'm sorry, I can't..."

"Yes, you can," said Qiao Liang, looking deeply at Tang Xi. "You'll be able to do it.”

Tang Xi raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Qiao Liang, Yang Continued, "Enemies in the dark will never be more threatening than enemies out in the open, because those who only dare to hide in the darkness are all cowards, so you need not fear that coward.”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang. He reached out and rubbed his hair, saying, "You're not even afraid of dying." He then sighed and finished, "What else can scare you?”

Right at this moment, Xiao Jinning's phone rang again. Tang Xi glanced at the caller ID and discovered that it was Qin Xinying. He stopped before picking up the phone. Yes, now she was not Tang Xi, not Qin Xinying's good friend. Why can't he fight it?

When the call connected, Qin Xinying's impatient voice sounded immediately. "Miss Yao, it seems like you don't want to cooperate with me. If you really don't, you can just tell me!”

After a pause, he continued, "Or Miss Yao, are you afraid of the insignificant Xiao Rou because you lost your fame?”
