Chapter 312: Went Back to the Capital

Qiao Liang was stunned and froze. Tang Xi continued, “If you say that to me again, I’ll leave here and throw myself into a river. Anyway, I’ve died once. I don’t mind dying again.”

“What did you say?” Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes angrily and stared at Tang Xi. His aura turned aggressive as if what Tang Xi just said had touched his sore spot.

Tang Xi looked at him, sneered and coldly said, “Don’t pretend to care about me. Do you look like you care about me? Qiao Liang, you don’t care about me at all!”

“Tang Xi!” Qiao Liang growled and jumped up to grab her arm whilst grinding his teeth together. He furiously glared at her furiously. “I don’t care about you? If I don’t, how could I go nuts? If I don’t...” Before he finished, Tang Xi suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Liang stared at the face so close to his. It had been quite a while before Tang Xi finished the kiss and whispered, “Since you do care about me so desperately, why did you refuse me staying beside you when you were sad and most vulnerable?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and the latter took one of his hands and whispered to him with a sweet smile, “Since you can’t fall asleep unless I’m with you, why did you ask me to leave? You should tell me, and then I wouldn’t leave you until you fall asleep. You fool, since you were in pain, why didn’t you tell me?”

Qiao Liang froze and stared at her blankly. “You...”

“Yes, I, how can I leave Qiao Liang since I love him so much?” Tang Xi smiled at him and her eyes were so affectionate. “Unless I die, I won’t leave you, understand?”

“Xixi...” Qiao Liang took her hand. He didn’t want her to worry about him.

“Shush...” Tang Xi put her finger on Qiao Liang’s thin lips, stopping him from continuing. “I know you don’t want me to go back to the capital alone, but I’m not going to go there alone. Let’s go there together without letting people find your presence, okay? With me beside you, you can have a good sleep on the aircraft, okay?”

...

In the private aircraft, Tang Xi called Tang Zhenhua and then nodded at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang signaled the captain to have the plane take off, then took Tang Xi’s hand and kept looking at her. Tang Xi smiled at him and he sighed, and led her into a room.

When they came back, Tang Xi had resumed her original look. When Tang Xi looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes had a sad gleam. She touched her own face, looked at Qiao Liang who was standing behind her in the mirror, and said gently, “Now I feel that my own face is so unfamiliar to me.”

Qiao Liang paused, hugged her shoulders and said in a low voice, “If you don’t like to see your original face, then don’t...”

“No.” Tang Xi looked up at herself in the mirror and said resolutely, “Although I’m still not strong enough to take revenge on those people with the identity of Xiao Rou, I can go back and scare them with the identity of Tang Xi. I will let them know that my grandfather is not alone, and to their disappointment, I’m still living in this world.”

As for the matters between her and Qin Xinying, she would solve them with the identity of Tang Xi. She’d like to see how she would quibble in front of her.

...

Three hours later, Tang Xi arrived at the airport of the capital and made a phone call to her home. Then she and Qiao Liang got in the car and went directly to the Venus Hotel where she often stayed before.

On the way, Qiao Liang handed her the identity documents that he had early prepared. “Aren’t you going to live with me in my villa?”

Tang Xi shook her head and took the identity documents from Qiao Liang as she looked at the buildings outside and said firmly, “My uncles and aunts are probably busy plotting something. Can you have Little Six fabricate my arrival record from Long Beach to the capital for me? Then I will leave a check-in record here. It’s time for me to give them a surprise.”

Since they dared to cooperate with others to spy on grandpa, she could also give them a good surprise. She wondered what their expressions would be when they received this surprise tomorrow.

Qiao Liang kissed Tang Xi on her forehead. Tang Xi looked apologetically at Qiao Liang and whispered, “You only slept on the plane for a while and you may not be able to sleep tonight. Is it okay for you?”

Qiao Liang reached out to rub at her hair. “It’s alright. You can accompany me to sleep tomorrow night.”

Tang Xi nodded. “I’ll go to the Empire Garden tomorrow. You too can go there. Tomorrow I...”

“I don’t want to be driven out by your grandpa.” Qiao Liang opened the car door her and said gently, “I have a meeting tonight and I’ll have Little Six deal with your arrival record. Since there is an arrival record in China, there must be a departure record in Country M. This is not easy to do. I’ll deal with these matters tonight. Don’t worry about me. Have a good rest and show your best face tomorrow.”

...

A doorman came up and opened the car door for her. Tang Xi took a deep look at Qiao Liang and stuck a leg, with a black high-heeled shoe on her foot, out of the car. The moment she got out of the car, the doorman stared at her in shock with wide, open eyes. Tang Xi wore a simple white dew shoulder blouse, light blue ultra short jeans, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. She had her regular slightly-curled haircut, with the latest black Chanel handbag. Although she was in the simplest outfit, she looked stunningly beautiful.

Tang Xi was very satisfied with the reaction of the doorman. The staff of the Venus International Hotel were very familiar with her, including the doormen. She believed her greedy uncles and aunts would try to make people believe that she had had an accident and could never come back safe and sound, let alone show up like this, although she had sent an email to her family and employees. The rumors about her must have been widely spread in every corner of the capital.

But those were all her guesses. Now watching the doorman’s reaction, she was sure she had guessed right.

Ignoring the strange look of the doorman, Tang Xi kept wearing that proud and indifferent aura after getting out the car. She just told the doorman to take her luggage to her room, and went straight to the hotel lobby

Although it was already evening, there were still many people in the hotel lobby. The lobby manager, waiters and waitresses and even the guests were stunned the moment they saw Tang Xi.

Then some people began to whisper and gossip about her. Seeing this, Tang Xi gave a smile, looked back at the lobby manager who was looking blankly at her, and raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you recognize me? What about my room?”
