Qiao Liang sighed. Alright, he would tell her about Long Xiao later. She might not be able to accept it if he told her now. When the time was right, he would take her to Country M, and she would see it with her own eyes.
After they got in the car, Tang Xi suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, No!”
Qiao Liang looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
Tang Xi scratched her head awkwardly. “I asked Li Manyan and Jin Han who came to take the interview today to go to see our office with me. They didn’t take lunch, so I asked them to take lunch first, and Jin Han asked me to send the address to his cellphone.” She frowned anxiously. “But I left their resumes in your office…”
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi speechlessly. Tang Xi pouted innocently. “I wouldn’t forget them if you didn’t do those things to me… You knew…”
“What?”
Tang Xi pouted. “You knew I couldn’t resist your charm! If I still remembered to take the resumes when I was lured by you, then I’m not the Tang Xi who loves you.”
Listening to her sudden confession, Qiao Liang suddenly fell silent. He gazed at Tang Xi’s creamy, soft cheeks and pink lips, and his eyes sparkled. He reached out his hand, pulled Tang Xi into his arm and did exactly what he wanted to do in the office. Tang Xi stared at him who was so close to her and he suddenly opened her lips with his tongue…
Qiao Liang didn’t let go of Tang Xi until she was out of breath. She was blushing, whilst Qiao Liang looked normal except the tumultuous eyes. Tang Xi shoved the car door open, jumped out and slammed the door behind her. Suddenly, she opened the car door again, put her hat and mask back on and said to Qiao Liang, “I’m going to get the resumes!”
Qiao Liang handed her the elevator card. “Card.”
Tang Xi grabbed it and turned to run away, without looking at Qiao Liang. Looking at her receding figure, Qiao Liang smiled. How could she be so cute?
Although Tang Xi wore a hat and a mask, she still felt others could see she was shy. She rushed into the elevator, pressed the button, lowered her head and waited for the door to close. However, at the very moment the door was about to close, somebody stopped the closing door and walked in.
Tang Xi looked up in astonishment. When she saw the person, she frowned. The smile on her face disappeared and her face sank. Even her red ears became normal. Tang Xi said coldly as the elevator was rising, “If my memory serves me right, Miss Qin is not allowed to take this elevator. Why did you come in?”
Listening to Tang Xi’s sarcastic remarks, Qin Xinying smiled coldly and said, “Miss Xiao, can you understand human beings’ language? Your mother is completely bedridden, and you’re still so leisurely as to come to Qiao Liang’s company to tempt him? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
Tang Xi squinted and sneered at Qin Xinying. “Miss Qin, if I were you, I won’t have the time to care about this. Shouldn’t you worry about your design drawings? Miss Qin, even if you don’t tell others, you may not be able to keep your little secret to yourself. If people know that Qin Xinying, the so-called genius designer doesn’t even know how to make a design drawing, what will they say?”
Qin Xinying’s face instantly turned icy and her voice became stiff. A vicious gleam flickered across her eyes and she said coldly, “Who told you this! Who?!”
“Tang Xi.” Tang Xi smiled and looked at Qin Xinying. “You said Tang Xi framed up my mother, so I asked Ah Liang to take me to see her, but she said she didn’t even care. Qiao Liang broke up with her five years ago, and she didn’t care about him at all. She told me you were very insidious and never minded defaming others for your interest, and even… your design drawings were actually made by her. She didn’t see you because she was so disappointed with you… so she had her design drawings hidden up in case you would steal them.”
“That’s impossible!” Qin Xinying ground her teeth together, stared at Tang Xi and shouted coldly, “It’s impossible for Tang Xi to say that! And I…”
“And what?” As the elevator reached Level 63, Tang Xi stepped out. She looked back at Qin Xinying who still stood in the elevator and smiled. “Qin Xinying, let me give you some advice. No matter what you do, leave some leeway to others. Otherwise, nobody will save you when you’re in trouble. Look at yourself… what do you look like?”
“I don’t need you to tell me this!”
“Good. We’ll see. Let’s wait and see who will win the battle in the end.”
The smile on Tang Xi’s face disappeared. She went to her office, took the resumes, put them into her bag and walked out. However, she opened the elevator only to see Qin Xinying was still in it. She raised her eyebrows and pressed the Level 1 button.
At this point, Qin Xinying suddenly pressed on towards her and asked coldly, “Where is she?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. She knew Qin Xinying was asking about her whereabouts. She said in her heart “I’m right in front of you! ” But she simply stated, “Aren’t you her best friend? Don’t you know where she is? Why did you ask me?”
“Tell me where she is!” No wonder Qiao Liang was still calm knowing Tang Xi was dead! He would definitely cry his heart out if he was sure Tang Xi died, and then she would have a chance to approach him. But nothing went as she planned. Qiao Liang wasn’t sad for Tang Xi’s death, but fell for this woman! What’s worse, Tang Xi was still alive! And she hid the important design drawings!
Damn it! Tang Xi! Why did you do this to me?! Since you agreed to give me fame and wealth, how can you hide your design drawings!
Why were you so mean to me?!
“I’m asking you where Tang Xi is!” Damn it! No wonder she couldn’t find those design drawings! It turned out that Tang Xi played a trick behind her back. She took all her design drawings away without being discovered!
Tang Xi looked at the ferocious looking Qin Xinying and coldly smiled. She pushed Qin Xinying away and said icily, “Find her yourself.”
