Chapter 358: Come Home with Me

Tang Xi submitted two sets of clothes she had designed and Chu Ling was finally satisfied with them. Li Manyan and Jin Han each submitted one set. Tang Xi also gave Chu Ling several jewelry design drawings and the latter liked them very much. Tang Xi felt it was an honor to be recognized by Chu Ling. She smiled and said, “If President Chu thinks these jewelry designs are okay, I’ll ask the factory to produce them, so that they can go with the clothes we have designed.”

Chu Ling stood up, looked at Qiao Liang and said, “We haven’t contacted any factories but the Qiao’s International Group has business in the fashion industry. So can you spare a factory for us?”

Qiao Liang handed Chu Ling a slip of paper, saying, “This is our factory in France. You can directly contact them. It’s one of the best garment factories.”

...

On the way back home, Chen Ziyan slept pretty soundly. Tang Xi and Xiao Jing went straight to the villa and Qiao Liang sent them back. After arriving home, Tang Xi felt she had forgotten something. When Qiao Liang said goodnight to her, she suddenly thought that she had planned to go to see Aunt Qiao, but she had totally forgotten about it, because the Xiao Family people moved to the old house today!

“How could I forget about it!” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and said guiltily, “I promised her last night to see her today. Oh, she must be disappointed.” She patted her head. “Alas, what on earth was on my mind... How can I forget about it!”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and took a look at Little Six. The latter secretly sighed and went to carry Chen Ziyan out of the car. Tang Xi said to him, “Can you take her to my room? Jing, can you take Little Six to my room?” Then she looked at Qiao Liang anxiously. “What shall I do?”

Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi. He then reached out to rub at Tang Xi’s hair and said gently, “Come home with me.”

Tang Xi blinked and asked in puzzlement, “What?”

“Come to my home with me.” Qiao Liang’s voice was low and hoarse. “Then you can apologize to my mother yourself.”

“Are you kidding?” Tang Xi laughed and said, “Go home and sleep.” But then she remembered Qiao Liang couldn’t fall asleep without her company. She pursed her lips, and looked at Qiao Liang, saying, “Or you can stay over tonight. My daddy and mommy aren’t home...”

“Hi, Rourou, I’m back!” Xiao Sa suddenly appeared on a scooter. When he saw Qiao Liang, he raised his eyebrows at him, greeting Qiao Liang, “Hello, President Qiao.”

Qiao Liang hummed in response. After some time, Little Six came out of the villa. Qiao Liang opened the car door and replied to Xiao Sa, “Hello. I have to go. Bye.” Then he got into the car. Little Six said goodbye to Tang Xi and drove the car away.

After they left, Tang Xi looked at Xiao Sa’s scooter and blinked, asking, “Sa, am I having an illusion? Can you ride a scooter?”

Xiao Sa shrugged, looked at his scooter and said in satisfaction, “Yan sent me to my company, so I didn’t drive my car. When the work was done, it was really late. My assistant was a girl and her home was far away from the company, so I had someone send her home, and I rode her scooter home instead.” He patted the small scooter that didn’t quite go with his tall figure, saying, “I find it feels good riding a scooter home.”

“Yes, it’s environmentally friendly and convenient. Now many commuters take scooters for commuting.” Tang Xi smiled and said, “Don’t forget to charge the scooter. Otherwise, your assistant can’t use it tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Xiao Sa rode the scooter into the garage to charge it. When he came out of the garage, he saw Xiao Jing and Tang Xi were chatting and drinking coffee in the living room. He looked at the two of them, asking, “Did Rourou’s meeting go well today?”

Xiao Jing nodded as he said, “Sure. Rourou is a career woman now. You really should see how confident and professional she was in the meeting. She was simply a queen!”

“Yeah.” Tang Xi stood up and spread her arms, laughing. “Come on, worship me, my people.”

“Oh, shut up.” Xiao Jing lying on the sofa gently kicked Tang Xi and said, “But seriously, I think you’ve changed a lot after you came back from the capital. Can you really forget your past and just be Xiao Rou?”

Tang Xi paused. Thinking of her grandpa and the Empire Group, she hesitated and then said, “I am Xiao Rou, right? No one can change this fact. So don’t ask me this question anymore, Jing. I think I can be Xiao Rou, and at the same time Tang Xi.”

Xiao Sa sighed and said, “I know what had happened to you. Don’t hesitate to tell me if you need any help. I’m always by your side.” Seeing that Tang Xi seemed to be moved by his words, he blinked and continued, “But don’t be moved to tears. Do remember to design some nice clothes for me. Make me the most handsome man at my company!”

Tang Xi laughed. “Sure.”

“Well...” Xiao Jing, still lying on the sofa, looked at Tang Xi and asked Tang Xi, “I heard you met Yao in the capital, right? Had he told you where he had been? He said he was abroad. Then why did he show up at the state banquet? Mom and dad are worried about him. What did he say to you when you met him?”

Tang Xi thought of what Xiao Yao said to her that day, and pursed her lips, saying, “Yao seemed to be in Country M and then came back to China. He appeared in the state banquet, because he was in charge of the security of the state banquet. I don’t know where he went after that.”

Xiao Jing frowned and said, “Although we’re not very intimate with Yao and he is always cold, I don’t want him to do such a dangerous job. Although he is already a lieutenant colonel, he must have paid a lot for that title. He puts his life at risk by doing this job.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and didn’t speak.

Xiao Sa said, “Don’t be so worried. Yao survived the last time he was in such great danger...”

Xiao Jing glared at him. “Don’t you know how he managed to survive? Rourou saved him at the risk of her life! If it weren’t for Rourou, he would have died!”

“Alright, it’s late. It’s time to go to sleep so I’m going to go upstairs to bed now. I have to get up early for my class tomorrow morning.” Tang Xi hurriedly stood up and escaped from the battlefield. Once the two brothers started to quarrel, they wouldn’t stop so easily!
