Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Tang Xi, “…” She was not even close to her own level? This sounded weird.

Xiao Sa and He Wanzhou were still arguing, and Qiao Liang couldn’t bear it anymore. He threw the documents to the sofa and said coldly, “Rourou won’t be meeting Tang Xi, at least not in our presence, so don’t worry about it. Have a look at the acquisition plan.”

“I’ve read it. It doesn’t have any problem. Our He Xing Group also wanted to set up the second headquarters in the capital. It will be a good start for us to acquire the Qin’s Group, but I think we should be careful of the Qin’s Consortium behind the Qin’s Group. This consortium is not that simple. Do we have to solve it currently?” He Wanzhou became serious when he began to talk about business with Qiao Liang. He read the documents about the Qin’s Consortium and then looked at Qiao Liang. “The owner of such a big consortium can’t be a nobody.”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “I’ve had Little Five investigate who is the owner of the Qin’s Consortium. I think they will get the result soon. We don’t have to confront the Qin’s Consortium. We can decide what to do after we find out who its owner is.”

Tang Xi nodded. “I agree.”

Although she wanted to wipe the Qin’s Group out of the business circle, it didn’t mean she was willing to weaken herself in the battle. She must destroy the Qin’s Group with the condition that the Empire Group and the Xiao’s Group wouldn’t suffer great losses, as well as He Wanzhou and Qiao Liang’s companies.

Since Qiao Liang had said there was a strong power behind the Qin’s Consortium, she wouldn’t act rashly.

On the way home, Xiao Yao got rid of those people who had been following them and sent Tang Xi to a hotel. In the hotel, Qiao Liang had his men prepare her a suit and a skin mask. Tang Xi slept in the hotel that night.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door. Tang Xi got up sleepily and saw from the peephole that it was Qiao Liang. She opened the door, took a look at the energetic Qiao Liang and turned to walk back in to the centre of the room. She then lay on the sofa on her stomach and asked him with her eyes closed, “Why did you come here at such a time?”

“I thought you must be nervous, so I came to see you.” Qiao Liang sat beside her and threw his black coat over to the sofa. “But you don’t seem to worry at all.”

Tang Xi yawned, looked at him and smiled. “It’s a piece of cake for me. Besides, what happened today is much better than I thought. I’ve called my mom. My grandpa lives in the Xiao Family’s mansion tonight. He gets along well with my… mother who doesn’t blame him at all. Everything is perfect.”

What confused Tang Xi now was whether she should call Lin Ru ‘Mom’ or ‘Aunt’.

She’d better just call her ‘Mom’. After all, she was Xiao Rou now.

And Tang Xi would disappear from the world in the end.

Thinking of this, Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and asked, “Ah Liang, now I can accompany Grandpa with the identity of Xiao Rou. Shall I abandon the identity of Tang Xi and just be Xiao Rou?”

After all, she was Xiao Rou. She might be able to disguise as Tang Xi, but she couldn’t truly become Tang Xi anymore.

Hearing this, Qiao Liang frowned and gazed at Tang Xi. “Do you want to be Xiao Rou?”

Tang Xi smiled. “What’s bad about being Xiao Rou? Except for Grandpa, you and my brothers, I’m just Xiao Rou in others’ eyes. Just as He Wanzhou said, Xiao Rou is not even close to the level of Tang Xi.”

Qiao Liang frowned and looked deeply at her. “Then when will Xiao Rou take me to see her parents?”

Tang Xi who was sleepy was immediately awakened by his words. She looked at Qiao Liang in disbelief. “Are you kidding me?”

“No.” Qiao Liang gently stroked her hair and gazed at her. “I don’t want to be your secret lover anymore. Please tell people I’m your boyfriend.”

Tang Xi smiled. “Okay. But you know, Xiao Rou will enter the entertainment circle sooner or later. If her fans know that you’re her boyfriend, will they tear you into pieces?”

Seeing her smug look, Qiao Liang couldn’t help laughing. “I bet in others’ eyes, you’re lucky to be my girlfriend.”

“But do you think so?” Tang Xi stared at Qiao Liang with wide-open eyes, deciding that she would drive him out if he dared to say yes.

Qiao Liang wisely shook his head. “Of course not. It’s a blessing for me to have you as my girlfriend. Thank you for picking me as your boyfriend.”

Tang Xi sat up, stroked his head and laughed out loud. “Good boy. Now go take a shower. I will allow you to sleep beside me tonight.”

Since she came back, Qiao Liang’s insomnia had almost been healed. He could fall asleep even without her company, but he would still be woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night, so Tang Xi would accompany him to sleep from time to time.

Sure, the two of them just slept and didn’t do anything else in bed.

Tang Xi couldn’t help admiring herself that she didn’t do anything with such a handsome man sleeping beside her… But she had no choice. She was still too weak to have s#x!

Realizing what she was thinking, Tang Xi tapped her own head. “Tang Xi, what are you thinking of?!”

Tang Xi walked into the room and lay down. Soon Qiao Liang came in. He was speaking on the phone and looked a bit upset. Tang Xi asked him after he hung up. “What happened?”

“Something happened to our branch office in North America. Lu Li has gone there to solve the problem.” Qiao Liang said and looked a bit worried. He looked at Tang Xi and said with a frown, “If the problem can’t be solved tomorrow, I may have to go to North America myself.”

Tang Xi nodded and asked, “Long Xiao is one of the most powerful companies in the world. Who dares mess around with you?”

“Someone set a trap for us.” Qiao Liang walked to the bed, sat beside Tang Xi and said, “The more successful Long Xiao Organization is, the more jealous some people grow. Besides… no matter how powerful you are, there is always someone more powerful. This time, our enemy is the Mexican gangs. They colluded with the anti-terrorism force to set a trap for us and many of our agents have been caught by them.”
