He looked up only to see Tang Xi come out in a sexy hollowed-out black gauze nightgown and Qiao Liang could even smell the fragrance of Chanel No.5 that she often used. He smiled helplessly in his heart and looked casually at her, leaning against the bed. His eyes were full of admiration but he remained expressionless.
Tang Xi looked down at her nightgown when she saw Qiao Liang look unaffected. He didn’t even bat an eyelid seeing her dressed like this?! What’s the problem with him? Thinking of this, Tang Xi made up her mind, dragged her nightgown down to make the neckline deeper and slowly crawled over him as she said, “I’m going to sleep. Let me…”
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi who purposely slowly crawled over his body, smiled and looked lovingly at her. “But I don’t think you look like you’re going to sleep.”
When Tang Xi heard his words, her eyes lit up, and she reclined on the bed, looked at him with her most seductive look and smiled coquettishly. “Am I beautiful?”
“Yes.” Qiao Liang nodded. Tang Xi was very pleased to hear that, but at the next second, she heard Qiao Liang say, “But this nightgown doesn’t fit your figure.”
Tang Xi frowned and asked unhappily, “Why?”
Qiao Liang looked her up and down and said hesitantly, “Your figure is as flat as a primary student’s.”
Tang Xi got angry. She jumped up from the bed and glared at Qiao Liang. “As flat as a primary student’s?! So now you’re laughing at my figure?! You look uninterested because you don’t like my figure, right? You, just like every other man, only like hot chicks, right?! So you went to the beach frequently when you went to Long Beach not to search for me, but to hook up with those bikini beauties, right?!”
Qiao Liang looked at her with a big affectionate smile on his face, and then he pulled her down to lie beside him without saying anything. Tang Xi curled her lips and pushed him away. “Go away. I don’t want you to stay by my side.”
“But I,” Qiao Liang took her hand and kept kissing it as he whispered, “I want to stay by your side, because I can’t do without you. I have no interest in any other woman. No matter how many temptations are out there, they mean nothing to me and I won’t be affected by them.”
Although Tang Xi still looked unhappy, she was actually very happy to hear these words. She pushed Qiao Liang and coldly said, “I don’t know if you’re telling the truth or not. You just laughed at my figure!”
“If I didn’t say that, I was afraid I couldn’t control myself…” With that, he suddenly jumped up and walked to the bathroom as he said, “I shouldn’t have let you…”
Tang Xi looked at his back, and smiled. A gleam of love flickered across her eyes. She then got up, went to the cloakroom and changed. It was really cold in that silk nightgown… Tang Xi shuddered. “It’s so damned cold…”
When Qiao Liang came out of the bathroom, Tang Xi had fallen asleep. Qiao Liang crept over, pulled back the quilt and lay beside her. Tang Xi smiled and hugged his waist as if feeling his presence and then fell asleep again. Qiao Liang looked down at Tang Xi’s sleeping face, and his eyes sparkled with affection. He kissed her gently on the forehead and turned off the light…
When Tang Xi woke up the next morning, Qiao Liang was not in the room. Tang Xi knew he must have left, so she didn’t call him, but went to the cloakroom, changed and went downstairs to have breakfast. When she was having breakfast, a servant said her lawyer had arrived. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, put the milk on the table and stood up before she walked towards the golf course outside. She ordered the servant, “Bring the lawyer to the golf course I’ll be waiting for him there.”
The lawyer followed the servant all the way to the golf course and looked at the huge Empire Garden in amazement. Although he had visited here many times, he couldn’t help but exclaim every time he came here. The Tang Family was so rich and had such amazing rights and privileges in the capital, but the only offspring of this family gave all the properties to a stranger! He really wondered what Ms. Tang was thinking of…
Tang Xi looked back at the lawyer when she heard footsteps. She looked indifferent yet graceful as ever. “Do you have the documents prepared?”
The lawyer nodded, took a document out of his briefcase and passed it to Tang Xi. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses as he said, “Yes, please have a look, Miss Tang. If you think the document is okay, it can be notarized and then this will take effect.”
Tang Xi took the will over, browsed it and nodded. “Okay. Let’s go notarize it this afternoon.”
The lawyer looked at Tang Xi hesitantly, “I’m afraid we can’t do it this afternoon, Miss Tang. The notary office is off today. It can’t be notarized until tomorrow at the earliest.”
Tang Xi frowned. She had to go to school tomorrow, and deal with her work, so she wasn’t available tomorrow. Then she could do that on Friday at the earliest..but on Friday…
She thought about it and nodded. “If it can’t be notarized today, let’s make it Friday. I have to go out tomorrow, so I don’t have time tomorrow. Let’s meet at the gate of the notary office on Friday morning.”
After the lawyer left, Tang Xi was about to go out, when a servant reported that Qin Benyuan had come to visit her. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Let him in.”
Although Qin Xinying and Tang Xi were friends for years, she wasn’t very familiar with Qin Benyuan, so this was the first time for him to come here. As soon as he stepped into the Empire Garden, he was stunned by the luxury of the Empire Garden, and then his eyes had a greedy gleam…
But Qin Benyuan soon covered his emotions up. Even if he wanted to make everything here his own, he knew he couldn’t reveal his real thoughts in front of so many people. He put on a smile and followed the servant to the golf course. As soon as he saw Tang Xi, he gave a fawning smile and trotted over, “Xixi, your home is really big. It took me half an hour from the gate to here, even though I took a shuttle bus midway.”
Tang Xi smiled, and took a look at the servant. The latter nodded and left. Tang Xi pointed to the white chair beside the round table. “Please take a seat, President Qin.”
Qin Benyuan smiled, hurriedly said okay and sat down on the chair. “I didn’t expect that the Empire Garden would be so big. Look, there is an amusement park, a sea world and…”
Tang Xi looked with a faint smile at Qin Benyuan who kept rambling and she didn’t interrupt him. When Qin Benyuan was finally too embarrassed to continue speaking under her stare, Tang Xi took a look at the servant who was waiting aside holding a tray, and the latter immediately came over with the tray and put two cups of coffee in front of Tang Xi and Qin Benyuan.”
