Strike Back, Proud Goddess! - Chapter 135

As expected, the journalists chased after their car, but they had left the road section of the school.

The car sped away as Qiao Liang stepped hard on the accelerator.

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang with a sweet smile on her face and asked, “Why are you here?” It felt like they had returned to the time when they had just fallen in love.

Although they had taken the same major, they had chosen a different optional course.

Every time they were in different classes, she would leave her class in advance and wait for him outside his classroom.

When he saw her, he would sneak out from the classroom and run to the dining hall holding her hand.

Qiao Liang took Tang Xi’s hand and spoke in a low voice.

“I’ve finished my work.

” He didn’t want to tell her that he woke up this morning and thought everything up until now was a dream, which was why he had come over to confirm whether he had really been dreaming or not.

Tang Xi gazed at Qiao Liang’s profile.

He really had a perfect face, almost flawless.

Only, he was too thin, with a sharp chin and a lean body.

Recalling how he looked in the past, Tang Xi felt her heart ache.

She asked, “You haven’t eaten well in years, right?” He used to eat plenty when he was with her, almost all the things she didn’t eat, but now he didn’t want to have anything at all.

Did he have a stomach problem? Hearing her talk about food, Qiao Liang paused, and then smiled while holding her hand as he asked, “What do you want to eat? Let’s go eat it.

” Tang Xi felt slightly sad, but she still raised her face and smiled at Qiao Liang.

“Of course Australian lobster and hairy crab! Yes, and the must-eat shrimp in scallion sauce.

” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi only to find she looked sad.

Despite her trying to look happy in front of him, he knew she was actually not happy at all, but he didn’t want to tell her what he had been through—he couldn’t.

He couldn’t make his beloved girl feel guilty, and he didn’t have the heart to make her worry about his health, even though her care about him would make him happy.

Knowing that Tang Xi was going back home this afternoon, Qiao Liang took Tang Xi to a seafood buffet a few streets away from her school.

Qiao Liang wore a mask and hat, and so did Tang Xi.

However, Tang Xi was wearing a school uniform, while Qiao Liang was in a suit, so it looked… well, looked a bit strange for them to be together.

Besides, it was 5 or 6 PM, and there were many people at the buffet, so they drew a great deal of attention… Someone recognized that Tang Xi’s school uniform was that of the First High School of City A and pointed their finger at her, remarking, “Today’s high school students really don’t behave themselves.

Look, she’s going out with a man at such a young age and came out for a date in school uniform…” .

.

.

Some people even recorded videos with their cell phones and were about to post them online.

Tang Xi frowned and said to Qiao Liang, “Let’s find another place.

” She couldn’t activate 008 now, so she wasn’t capable of deleting the videos uploaded on the net by those people within a short time.

She decided not to show up in such places with Qiao Liang.

Although she was already an adult, if those people uploaded the videos online, it would definitely impact her school negatively.

Qiao Liang frowned and his face turned cold.

He raised his eyes to look at those people.

Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, his cold gaze frightened them.

Many of these people deleted the videos in their cell phones and some even made way for them.

Seeing Qiao Liang get angry.

Tang Xi hurriedly tugged on his hand and in an intimate and loud voice, said, “Brother, haven’t Mom and Dad arrived yet? Didn’t they say they would be here at 5:30?” Continue_reading on MYB0X N0V EL.

COM As soon as Qiao Liang heard her soft voice, his aggressive aura immediately disappeared.

He looked at Tang Xi, who was winking at him, then pursed his lips, took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll call them.

” Hearing their conversation, the other people realized that they had misunderstood them; it turned out that they were a brother and a sister.

No wonder they looked so intimate.

They shouldn’t have been so rude to them.

Someone even came up to apologize to them.

Tang Xi responded with a smile and said it didn’t matter.

“As my brother is handsome and I’m beautiful, when I go out with my brother without my school uniform, people often mistake us for a couple.

” Qiao Liang turned his eyes to Tang Xi with a frown as he spoke into his phone.

“You’re not coming? Then we’re going back… Okay, explain to Sister yourself.

Okay, I got it.

Bye.

” He hung up the phone, put it into his pocket and looked at Tang Xi, saying, “Mom and Dad are going to travel on business, so they can’t celebrate your birthday with you.

” Tang Xi blinked, looked at Qiao Liang and soon afterwards realized what he meant, so she replied disappointedly, “Mom and Dad promised they would celebrate my birthday with me.

” Although Tang Xi was wearing a mask and a hat, her exposed eyes were so dark and bright that they gave the impression of being able to speak.

Seeing her disappointed yet beautiful eyes, the crowd all felt sad for her.

Someone came up to comfort her and then proposed to celebrate her birthday for her.

Tang Xi smiled and thanked him.

Qiao Liang took a look at the crowd before leading Tang Xi into the private room he had asked his secretary to book.

On the other side of things, in the vice president office of Qiao’s International Group, Xiao Jing was gazing dumbfounded at his cellphone.

Could anybody tell him what happened? What was Qiao Liang talking about? Don’t come? Come where? And he said they were going back? With whom? Back to the company? Explain to Sister yourself? Anybody tell him when Qiao Liang had gotten a sister?! Sister… No! Oh, my gosh! Xiao Jing suddenly stood up, took out his phone and dialed out a number.

Damn, Qiao Liang had sneaked out of the company to hit on his sister while he was not paying attention! Unforgivable! This was simply unforgivable! In the private room, Qiao Liang took a look at his phone’s caller display, turned it to mute and then asked Tang Xi, “Still the classic mix?” “Raw octopus…” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang with glowing eyes.

Qiao Liang smiled while his phone continued to vibrate.

He picked it up and Tang Xi happened to see the caller ID.

She couldn’t help asking, “Did you just call Jing?” Qiao Liang winked at her before answering the phone.

“Hmm?” “Qiao Liang, are you with Rourou right now?” Xiao Jing’s angry voice came from the phone.

Qiao Liang sat down and poured water from a kettle to clean Tang Xi’s cutlery.

“No,” he replied calmly.

Xiao Jing’s voice sounded a bit hesitant as he asked, “Who are you with then?” Qiao Liang handed Tang Xi the cleaned chopsticks, knife and fork, then answered, “I’m with Xixi.

”
