《Shocking Marriage: Wife is Back》


 C1

    Qiao Xuan vaguely felt that someone was walking in front of her. She opened her eyes solemnly and saw a girl covering her with a blanket.


    Isn''t she the maid of Sheng Family Villa, Little Qin?


    She looked around. This room was very familiar, the entire layout was lotus color, and there was even a large fish tank on the wall opposite. This was Sheng Hua''s bedroom.


    However, why would she be here? After marrying Sheng Hua, they would be living in the Xilin Villa. Furthermore, even if she did not die, she should still be in the hospital, right?


    "Miss Qiao... Uh, Young Madam, "Little Qin suddenly realized something and quickly changed his words, smiling as he said," You''re awake. Eldest Young Master had someone boil some traditional Chinese medicine for you. You should get up and drink. "


    Qiao Xuan was initially confused, but after hearing Xiao Qin''s words, she suddenly became clear-headed, and fiercely grabbed onto the hand Little Qin was holding onto the medicine bowl: "What did you just say?" This scene, why did it feel like it had happened before?


    She was very strong and it was so sudden that Xiao Qin panicked. He accidentally threw his medicine bowl onto the ground and immediately became pale from fright, "Young madam, I said the wrong thing, don''t be angry, you''re still sick, tomorrow is the engagement party, you better not be angry anymore, Eldest Young Master will chase me away!"


    Engagement? Sick?


    Qiao Xuan''s mind buzzed. She clearly remembered what was going on, she was hit by a car and sent flying. That kind of impact, it was impossible for her to lie here unharmed.


    What engagement party? Wasn''t that a year ago?


    Qiao Xuan looked around, that''s right, this bedroom had already been renovated after they got married, why would it still be the same as before they got married?


    Qiao Xuan thought of a certain possibility, and her heart thumped intensely. She looked at Little Qin, and her throat felt a little tight, as she asked in a hoarse voice: "What number is it today?"


    "March 13th, ah. Tomorrow is White Valentine''s Day, the day the young master specially chose." Little Qin thought that Qiao Xuan had gotten confused and hurriedly explained it to her.


    Qiao Xuan swallowed his saliva mechanically and asked again: "March 13th, 2016?"


    Little Qin looked at Qiao Xuan''s pale face and nodded with certainty.


    Could it be ¡­


    Qiao Xuan tightly gripped her blanket with her fingers. She really didn''t know how to describe her current feelings, she actually didn''t die, and was even reborn!


    The shock was just too intense, Qiao Xuan''s dazed head was almost going to explode from the shock.


    She slowly accepted the truth. Furthermore, since the heavens had given her another chance, she must find out who caused her family to be ruined in her previous life, and in the end, she herself had also suffered a tragic death.


    There was a commotion at the door, causing Qiao Xuan to turn her head. Seeing a golden hair running over with a wagging tail, licking the medicinal juice that was scattered on the ground, she was dazed for a moment.


    This dog seems to belong to the third young master of Sheng Family, Sheng Liang, right?


    "Aiyo, Commander, quickly get out of here. This is medicine, you can''t drink it!" What she was most afraid of was that the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground would scratch the dog. They had all seen it before, and Third Young Master usually didn''t make a sound, but if anyone hurt his precious commander, then it would be terrifying for them to lose their temper.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the dog, then looked at the door, she knew that Sheng Liang doted on the dog called Commander the most, and since the Commander was here, it meant that Sheng Liang was definitely within three metres of the dog.


    However, according to the rules of the Sheng Family, Sheng Liang, who had already moved out to live alone, should not have appeared here without the permission of Elder Sheng. Yet, he actually came back the day before her engagement with Sheng Hua?

 C2

    Qiao Xuan frowned, he suddenly smelt a scent of flowers in the air, and immediately asked Xiao Qin: "Why is there a scent of flowers in the room?"


    What she remembered was that Sheng Hua was allergic to pollen, so whether it was Sheng Family or the villa''s Xilin, he never raised flowers.


    Xiao Qin sniffed twice and his expression immediately changed, "I didn''t see any flowers while I was cleaning."


    Qiao Xuan was still in doubt when the commander suddenly shouted twice and then jumped towards Xiao Qin. Little Qin was unable to dodge in time and was thrown onto the ground, immediately screaming in fear.


    "Commander, come back!" A low, deep, and magnetic voice rang out from the doorway.


    The commander seemed unwilling, but he still jumped off Qin Guan and ran to the door with his tail wagging.


    Qiao Xuan unconsciously lifted his head and saw Sheng Liang standing there expressionlessly. His black pants, black shirt, black hair, and even his eyes were filled with an unfathomable darkness. Even during the daytime, his figure seemed to be submerged in shadows.


    However, his face was terrifyingly pale. It was as if he had not seen the sun for years, and there was not a single trace of blood on his face.


    He squatted down, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his commander''s mouth. He looked at the black stains on the handkerchief, and when he looked at Little Qin, his voice was cold to the extreme. "What did you feed it?"


    Xiao Qin just recovered from the shock of being pushed down by the commander, seeing Sheng Liang''s cold eyes, he immediately lowered his head, and his body also started to tremble, "I ¡­ None... It belonged to the Young Madam ¡­ "Medicine..."


    Sheng Liang glanced at Qiao Xuan who was sitting on the bed. When he glanced at her face, his gaze was actually one of disdain ¡­ Indifference.


    He stood up, threw his handkerchief on the ground, turned around and walked out. The commander followed him in a frenzy, standing up on two legs and continuously grabbing at his clothes.


    Sheng Liang didn''t stop, he only continued to walk with his hands in his pockets, but Qiao Xuan felt that his back was a little stiff, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.


    Although he was Sheng Hua''s little brother, they were not the same mother. Furthermore, from what the servant girl said, his mother was only a crazy woman who lived on the streets for a long time. As for how she gave birth to him, it was unknown.


    However, the reason why Qiao Xuan took such an interest in him was because she suddenly thought of the day in her previous life when she drank that bowl of medicine. After that, she had a strange feeling.


    Sheng Hua...


    Unknowingly, Qiao Xuan''s heart jumped, she nervously asked: "Where''s the First Young Master?"


    "Eldest Young Master ¡­" Little Qin lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that Qiao Xuan would feel sad, "It seems like there''s a meeting at the company."


    Qiao Xuan sighed to himself. Sure enough, Sheng Hua did not come back at all.


    She sneered, but it was not because she felt disappointed because Sheng Hua was busy with work before the engagement ceremony. Because in her previous life, ever since Sheng Hua caused her to lose that child, their relationship had become very subtle.


    Only, she had always thought that the child was Sheng Hua''s. But now, it seemed that it might be ¡­ No.


    If he did not flip the medicine bowl just now, and everything was still as it was in his previous life, then, the person who came in should be Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan immediately understood that the reason the commander threw Little Qin down earlier was because he licked the medicinal juice on the floor and the smell in the room was because the people did not want Sheng Hua to come in.


    He really was meticulous.


    The question now was, who had placed something else in her medicine, and what was the purpose of it? Was it Sheng Liang?


    Qiao Xuan thought back to Sheng Liang''s extremely cold expression just now. That man, had always been very low-profile, and even if he appeared at a family banquet, he wouldn''t say a single word, making it easy for others to ignore his existence.

 C3

    Qiao Xuan felt a splitting headache, she thought of the day one year ago when she fell down with a fever because of rushing a report every day, but right now, her body was powerless to prove this point.


    But now, there was something more important to do. She immediately got off the bed, but her body was still soft. Just as her feet touched the ground, she almost fell. Luckily, Little Qin was there to support her.


    "Young madam, if there''s anything you need, just tell me." Xiao Qin supported Qiao Xuan as they stood there, talking enthusiastically.


    Qiao Xuan glanced at Little Qin, this girl looked to be only twenty years old, and was indeed very meticulous. However, during her previous life, she did not pay too much attention to her, probably because, she had only lived in Sheng Family for a few days before Little Qin resigned and returned to her old home.


    Looking at the date, it seemed to be after she and Sheng Hua had gotten engaged. Qiao Xuan''s heart palpitated, could it be that it was because Little Qin saw that the person who entered the room was Sheng Liang, and was hence being chased away by Sheng Hua?


    Qiao Xuan started to understand a little why Sheng Hua didn''t want that child anymore. It was because he already knew that the child wasn''t his, but why did he have to keep it to himself?


    Could his own death have something to do with him?


    Qiao Xuan''s heart secretly sank. If it really was like that, then wouldn''t she be sharing a bed with someone who wants to kill her every night in her previous life?


    Just a moment ago, she had wanted to find Sheng Family Old Man to cancel the engagement, but now, she was even more certain of this.


    Qiao Xuan changed into a new set of clothes and walked out lightly. Just as he walked past the corridor, he saw someone hugging his shoulder and leaning on the wall, seeing her walk over, he laughed wickedly and said: "You guys are so fast, looks like my third brother is not good enough."


    Qiao Xuan frowned, looking at this man with a monstrous face and a smile like a fox ¡ª ¡ª Sheng Family Fourth Young Master, Sheng Qian!


    "What are you talking about!" Qiao Xuan glared at Sheng Qian angrily, his words obviously carrying some other meaning.


    Sheng Qian wore a pink shirt with a few buttons on the top open to reveal his sturdy chest. On his neck was a silver cross, and in the middle of the cross was a star blue gem.


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan who had already walked in front of him.


    Even though in Qiao Xuan''s eyes, Sheng Qian was just a standard playboy, who had been free all day, she still panicked a little when he suddenly got close to her and quickly took a few steps back.


    Qiao Xuan''s back was pressed against the wall and he had nowhere to retreat to, yet at this time, Sheng Qian stretched out his long arm and locked her into a small confined space. Qiao Xuan''s entire person was enveloped in his shadow, her eyelashes slightly trembled, and her voice became quiet and hoarse: "Fourth Young Master, what are you doing?"


    Sheng Qian was very tall. On this point, it could be said that he had inherited Old Man Sheng''s good blood, other than the second young master of Sheng Family, who he had never seen before, all three of them were over 185. Sheng Qian was the tallest, probably related to her mother who was born in a model.


    He lowered his head to look at Qiao Xuan''s panicking eyes, those slender phoenix eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Miss Qiao, should I call you sister-in-law, or third sister-in-law?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled. Even if she was even more unconscious, she had still reacted at this moment. Her lips moved: "You drugged her?"

 C4

    Sheng Qian smiled, his eyes becoming even more bewitching, and his voice becoming as sweet as red wine. "That''s right, I was the one who put it in.


    Qiao Xuan roared in his heart, this guy did such a thing and he still had a complacent look on his face!


    She knew that although Sheng Qian didn''t know how to learn, Old Master Sheng still cared about him the most. Even if she were to tell Old Master Sheng about this, no one could do anything to him.


    Moreover, from the looks of it, he was intentionally using this matter to incite conflict between Sheng Hua and himself, and she happened to be the cannon fodder.


    Qiao Xuan calmed his heart down, and smiled: "I really have let Fourth Young Master down. That bowl of medicine spilled, I did not drink it."


    A hint of astonishment flashed through Sheng Qian''s eyes, but he quickly recovered his signature evil smile. Withdrawing his hand, he narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at Qiao Xuan: "This isn''t a good game anymore."


    His voice was very soft, to the point that it sounded like he was mumbling to himself, but seeing the look in his eyes, Qiao Xuan felt a chill all over his body.


    His eyes were clearly full of smiles, but it made Qiao Xuan''s scalp tingle. She received a dangerous signal in her head and quickly ran back.


    Sheng Qian still had that demonic smile on her face, with one hand, she grabbed Qiao Xuan, without caring about how she struggled, she grabbed her wrist, and walked to the other side of the corridor.


    Qiao Xuan tried to break his hand, but no matter what she did, she couldn''t. She also tried to ask the maid to help her, but when they saw Sheng Qian, they immediately lowered their heads and greeted him. Then, they quickly ran away.


    "Just what do you want!?" Qiao Xuan really didn''t know how she offended this Young Master, to actually mess with her!


    Sheng Qian pulled her along, his footsteps still unhurried as he said with a smile: "I''m a person who loves to watch shows the most. My pants are already halfway down, how can I bear not to continue watching?"


    Qiao Xuan was startled, could it be that he wanted to ¡­


    Seeing that Sheng Liang''s room was right in front of her, she started to struggle even more, and without caring about anything, she bit hard at the back of his hand. "Sheng Qian, let go of me!"


    He lowered his head and looked at the two rows of teeth marks on the back of his hand, which had traces of blood seeping out. He laughed softly, and even though it was just a snort, he still had a kind of enchantment that could charm all living things, and whispered into Qiao Xuan''s ears: "Look at you, I can''t bear to part with you."


    He was leaning so close, and the manly aura fiercely entered Qiao Xuan''s nose and mouth. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she immediately retreated, maintaining a distance between them and said: "Fourth Young Master, please take care of yourself!"


    "Alright," Sheng Qian said with a wronged expression when he saw how much she loathed him. "It seems like you still care for my third brother.


    In that short period of time when he was still stunned, Qiao Xuan only felt Sheng Qian pull forcefully and push fiercely. With a loud bang, she regained her senses, and she was inside the room.


    Qiao Xuan knew clearly in her heart that this room was Sheng Liang''s. Before she came here, she had just seen him.


    However, she quickly realized that the reason why she felt cold all over was because the temperature in the room was too low. It was as if she was in an icehouse.


    Moreover, the light in the room seemed to be too dim. When she turned around, she saw that all the windows were covered by dark brown curtains, and there was no light in the room, just like at night, she couldn''t see anything.


    Qiao Xuan thought that Sheng Liang was probably not in the room. Just as she was about to open the door and go out, she heard a few dogs bark, followed by the sound of metal hitting the ground, causing her to panic. She walked in the direction the sound came from, and opened the door, only to see Sheng Liang''s arm covered in blood, his face pale as she stood in front of the wash basin.

 C5

    Qiao Xuan didn''t even know how to describe the scene in front of her. She saw Sheng Liang standing barefoot on the bathroom floor, water flowing non-stop.


    His shirt was mostly wet, and his hands were on the sink, shaking violently as if he couldn''t control them.


    What shocked Qiao Xuan the most was Sheng Liang''s current expression. Although she could only see his profile, the hair that hung down from both sides covered his face.


    However, Qiao Xuan could still see the fear and helplessness in his eyes when he looked in the mirror. It was as if he was a person on the verge of death making his final struggle.


    Sheng Liang''s cold and handsome face was originally pale white, but now it was even whiter than paper.


    Despair, shock, this was the only word Qiao Xuan could use to describe it.


    She stood rooted to the spot, unsure of how to react. Her gaze fell onto the blood-stained fruit knife on the ground. That must have been the source of the sound she heard when the metal hit the ground.


    The commander bit on the bottom of Sheng Liang''s pants lightly and let go of him occasionally, as if trying to console him. After seeing Qiao Xuan enter, the commander ran over and squatted in front of Qiao Xuan, but turned his head towards him. He sobbed, as if asking for his help from Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan recovered from her shock, looked around, and quickly pulled a clean towel from her side before walking over and pressing it onto Sheng Liang''s still bleeding wound. Then, she saw that his left arm was actually covered densely in wounds, new and old.


    "Did you hurt yourself?" Such a wound was clearly self-mutilation, and just now, he was the only person in the room.


    It was also just as Qiao Xuan had finished speaking, that Sheng Liang''s eyes suddenly turned cold, and pushed Qiao Xuan away, pressing her down on the sink with all his might. With both hands on her neck, he coldly asked: "Who let you in, what did you see, what did you see ¡­"


    The latter sentence, he kept repeating, cold as a machine, without any emotion.


    From the moment he entered the door, Qiao Xuan had already noticed his abnormality. Qiao Xuan''s first reaction was that Sheng Liang was drug addicts.


    But it seemed that his actions weren''t like the symptoms of a drug addiction. She tried to break his cold hand, trying to calm him down: "I didn''t see anything. Let me go first."


    Sheng Liang was panting heavily, his chest was heaving up and down intensely, his hands were also shaking extremely hard. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he pushed Qiao Xuan down to the ground, "Get out!"


    Qiao Xuan watched his tall and big back, but currently, he seemed so helpless and lonely. His black shirt was a bit messy, and against his pale white face, his entire person seemed like a skeleton.


    She slowly stood up from the ground and walked to Sheng Liang''s side. She held his hand that was always in the water and said in a soft voice: "I''ll help you bandage it."


    However, the moment her hand touched Sheng Liang''s body, as if he reacted, he immediately pushed Qiao Xuan away. Qiao Xuan was already light-headed, and after being pushed so hard, his body accidentally fell backwards, and the back of his head smashed heavily into the wall.


    Qiao Xuan only felt her mind turning blank, as if she didn''t know anything. Her body also powerlessly slid down, and just as she was about to slide to the ground, a pair of ice-cold hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.


    She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Sheng Liang was kissing her!

 C6

    He was too shocked to the point that Qiao Xuan even forgot to breathe.


    The next second, she heard a voice say, "Sure enough, Third Bro knows how to play. The bathroom must taste really good."


    Qiao Xuan looked over Sheng Liang''s shoulder and saw Sheng Qian leaning on the door with a mischievous smile on his face. Was this guy here to watch the show?


    Sheng Liang looked indifferently at Qiao Xuan, who was about to collapse from the pain in his arms, and let go of her. He carefully supported her and turned to look at Sheng Qian, and spoke with a fawning tone: "Don''t tell Big Bro about this."


    Qiao Xuan unconsciously frowned. He suddenly kissed her just now because he heard the sound of Sheng Qian''s footsteps. What was he doing now that he told Sheng Qian to keep it a secret?


    Furthermore, Qiao Xuan realized that, without him knowing, Sheng Liang had already taken down the sleeves of his shirt and covered his wounds.


    Did he do all this because he didn''t want others to know about his self-mutilation?


    "I''m afraid it''s already too late." Sheng Qian said with a smile. He glanced outside, and then dodged to the side.


    He saw another tall figure walk in, a well-tailored suit, shiny black leather shoes, hair neatly combed back, gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle face. It was her husband from his previous life.


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers trembled a little. She didn''t know if she had ever loved this man before. When she had married him, one reason was because he had helped her family with all of his effort.


    But when he married, he never felt cold or hot, never treated her like his wife. Even when she was five months pregnant, he had drunk and pushed her down, causing her to miscarry.


    Thinking about that child, a trace of pain still flashed across Qiao Xuan''s heart. Luckily she was reincarnated to this day and didn''t start anything, so she definitely wouldn''t let this tragedy happen again.


    Sheng Hua looked at her and continued to smile faintly, just as he always had. "Qiao Qiao, why are you in Third Brother''s room?"


    Qiao Xuan glanced at Sheng Liang who was standing in front of her. If she were to tell him the truth, then she should be able to end the marriage with Sheng Hua as she wished.


    But she was afraid that Sheng Liang would not cooperate with her.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was hesitating, a pale white slender hand reached out and wrapped around her shoulders. She said in a deep voice, "Big brother, Qiao Qiao and I love each other wholeheartedly. Please help big brother."


    Even though his voice was so calm that not a ripple could be heard, it still caused Qiao Xuan to be shocked. She could not believe that those words came from Sheng Liang''s mouth.


    Sheng Qian happily whistled, looking as if he did not want the world to become chaotic, and laughed while saying to Sheng Hua: "Big brother, I heard that during tomorrow''s engagement ceremony, Dad had invited some political figures. Isn''t it too late to cancel it now?"


    The light in his eyes flickered behind Sheng Hua''s glasses, but his face still did not show any expression. He only looked at Qiao Xuan and asked in a shallow voice: "Is what Third Brother said true?"


    Several people''s gazes all landed on Qiao Xuan. She lowered her head, and slightly moved her fingers.


    If she blindly went to find Grandpa Sheng to end the engagement, it would be impossible for her to succeed. But now, although she did not know what Sheng Liang''s goal was, it just so happened that it fit her wishes. With him here, at least Old Man Sheng would not be so ruthless.


    Moreover, Sheng Liang''s secret was still in her hands. She had the chips to cooperate with him.

 C7

    Although she thought this in her heart, Qiao Xuan was still so cautious that she did not make a sound. Even though she had been a CFO for Golden Age''s Tian An Group for almost three years, she still had no experience with the open and covert struggles in the Wealthy Class.


    The most important thing was, she was simply not sure how much weight Sheng Liang held in the old man''s heart.


    "Big brother, don''t make things difficult for her. I was the one who took the initiative in this matter." Sheng Liang''s body leaned forward, blocking Qiao Xuan behind him.


    Sheng Liang''s body was thin, but not weak. When he stood in front of Qiao Xuan to block her, Qiao Xuan''s entire body seemed to be enveloped within, giving him a sense of security.


    "I can''t believe it, third brother is still a sentimental man." Sheng Hua still had not reacted, but it was Sheng Qian who had smiled, and a fox-like crafty light shone in his devilish eyes.


    Sheng Hua looked at Sheng Liang, not revealing any expression of joy or anger, his voice was also light and shallow: "What do you plan to do?"


    In truth, Qiao Xuan also wanted to ask this question, so she listened attentively.


    "If Big Brother is willing to agree, we can just change our name at the engagement ceremony tomorrow." Sheng Liang spoke calmly, completely ignoring Sheng Hua''s current state of mind.


    Sheng Hua didn''t speak for a long time, but everyone could feel a suffocating pressure surging between the two of them.


    "Young masters, the old master has returned and wants you to go to the study room." A maid stood in the doorway and said timidly.


    Sheng Qian laughed and said: "Dad really came back at the right time, I can help you guys come up with some ideas."


    As he said that, he walked towards the door with his hands in his pockets. When he passed by Qiao Xuan, he smiled meaningfully.


    Qiao Xuan had always thought that Sheng Qian was a young master who did not learn anything. However, everything that had happened today made her feel that she had underestimated him.


    As expected, these three young masters of Sheng Family were not easy to deal with.


    The three of them went to the old man''s study. As the person in question, Qiao Xuan had originally wanted to go with them, but when they walked out of the door, it was Sheng Liang who stopped her, telling her to wait below.


    As Qiao Xuan watched Sheng Liang''s leaving figure, it was hard to say what she felt in her heart. The two people who had not interacted in her previous life, on the very first day that she woke up, had suddenly undergone such an earth-shattering change. No matter how calm she was, it was impossible to remain calm.


    However, she was completely unable to see through this man.


    Qiao Xuan waited downstairs for a long time before he saw Sheng Liang coming down from the top floor. Without waiting for her to ask anything, Sheng Liang had already dragged her away.


    Just as they reached the profound entrance, they heard Sheng Hua say from the back: "Third Brother, do you really not want to think about it? For a woman, are you really going to make it this far?"


    Sheng Liang''s footsteps stopped, but he did not reply. However, Qiao Xuan still sensed it, and the ice-cold hand that Sheng Liang was pulling her on clearly trembled for a moment.


    "That''s right. Third brother, you''re making big brother lose a lot of face by doing this. Tomorrow, everyone in the Sang City will know that his fiancee was taken away by his own little brother. How will he continue to be like this in the future?" Sheng Qian used a scolding tone, but his face was full of schadenfreude.


    Qiao Xuan frowned. This Fourth Young Master Sheng really didn''t mind just watching the show, or it could be said that he had done it on purpose. He had first schemed for her to be in the same room as Sheng Liang, and now he was obviously provoking a conflict between Sheng Liang and Sheng Hua.


    From the looks of it, Sheng Qian who looked cynical on the surface was determined to obtain the inheritance of the company.


    This Sheng Family''s water is really deep.

 C8

    Sheng Qian''s words were rather ear-piercing to Qiao Xuan. She really didn''t know if Sheng Hua would directly turn against him.


    However, it seemed that she was overthinking it and Sheng Hua didn''t mind.


    That was true. Now that she thought about it, to treat her like that in her previous life, she clearly didn''t have any true feelings for her.


    "I don''t care how you announce it to the outside world, but this woman," Sheng Liang held my hand and raised it into the air. "I will take her with me, she will be mine from now on."


    Sheng Qian leaned on the banister as he watched Sheng Liang pull Qiao Xuan away with an unfathomable look in his eyes.


    Sheng Liang only let go of her hand after they got in the car. Without looking at Qiao Xuan, she said lightly: "You can go back now, say that I forced you."


    Qiao Xuan turned her head to look at Sheng Liang. She had never seen someone with such an indifferent gaze, without even a hint of spirit. It was as if the entire world had nothing to do with him.


    "How can you be so sure that I will cooperate with you?" Qiao Xuan had only just realized it. At that time, she had only thought about her own idea, but she had forgotten what on earth made Sheng Liang think that she would betray her own fiance?


    "You will know in the future." Sheng Liang was obviously not a person who liked to explain. He only repeated his question, "Have you decided to come with me?


    Qiao Xuan did not answer, but asked back, "We are only working for benefits, right?"


    Although she wasn''t sure what Sheng Liang''s goal was, she wasn''t so stupid as to believe that Sheng Liang had fallen for her.


    "Otherwise?" Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan, a hint of ridicule in the corner of his mouth.


    Qiao Xuan knew, even if it was as the rumors said, Sheng Liang did not have any status in the family, he was not the type of person who would casually pull a woman.


    This was also good too, since she didn''t need to get engaged to Sheng Hua and she wouldn''t have to leave the Sheng Family entirely behind either. With Sheng Liang''s identity, it would be convenient for her to find out what kind of person Sheng Hua was, and whether or not his death in her previous life was caused by him.


    But unexpectedly, on the second day of news, it reported that Sheng Liang had taken his sister-in-law from the company and was removed from her position in the company.


    "Where''s Sheng Liang?" Qiao Xuan asked the maid that was passing by.


    The maid looked up and said, "He should still be sleeping in his room. I didn''t see him come out. It''s really strange. Mister used to get up early."


    Qiao Xuan did not listen to the servant''s mutterings anymore and went straight up the stairs. He knocked on Sheng Liang''s room door a few times, but he did not hear a response, just as he was about to think of a way to open the door, he heard a few dogs barking.


    Qiao Xuan thought about what she saw in the Sheng Family yesterday, and her heart inexplicably tensed up. Seeing the commander run towards the bed, she immediately followed.


    Although he was already mentally prepared, seeing the scene in front of him, Qiao Xuan was still stunned.


    Sheng Liang curled up under the blanket like a shrimp, his whole body spasming uncontrollably. His wet hair covered his eyes, but it couldn''t stop his pale white face.


    It was only when Sheng Liang reached out to grab the broken blade on the side that Qiao Xuan finally regained his senses. He immediately ran over and pressed down on his hand: "Sheng Liang!"


    When Sheng Liang heard her voice, he was stunned for a moment before pushing her away, "Get out!"


    Qiao Xuan stood at the side, looked at his painful appearance, and asked in a shallow voice: "Are you ¡­ Is he taking drugs? "

 C9

    Just as Qiao Xuan''s words fell, she didn''t even have time to react to what had happened. Her body had already been captured, and Sheng Liang''s arm was tightly wrapped around her neck.


    "If you don''t want to die, then pretend you didn''t see anything." Sheng Liang threatened hoarsely in his ear.


    Qiao Xuan was not too afraid, she knew that it was worth it, if not, Sheng Liang would not have taken the risk of being expelled and brought her home.


    "I said what I wanted to say yesterday." Qiao Xuan''s voice was light and shallow, "Rest assured, before we have achieved our goals, I will not do anything that would harm our common interests."


    The blade shifted away from Qiao Xuan''s neck, and his hand also slid down. The oppressive feeling behind him disappeared, and when Qiao Xuan turned around, he saw Sheng Liang''s body sway for a bit, falling onto the bed. She asked in good intentions: "What can I help you with?"


    "Close the door on your way out." Sheng Liang fell back onto the bed and tightly wrapped himself with the blanket.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, but did not say anything in the end.


    The people in the company weren''t very familiar with this third young master of the Sheng Family either. He rarely appeared in public, and he didn''t have any friends either.


    She used to think that Sheng Liang was unsociable, or that it was because of his birth that he felt inferior. However, after these two days of being in contact with her, she understood that he was just being low-key, that he did not have any friends, and that he did not trust anyone.


    It was only then that Qiao Xuan realised that it was only his plan to snatch her from Sheng Hua''s hands, causing her to lose her position in the management position of the company.


    Ever since he appeared in the Sheng Family Villa, everything was already within his control. All of this was to hide the fact that he was using drugs, he must not want to reveal his weakness to his opponent.


    The only thing he miscalculated was that she saw something that he shouldn''t have seen, or perhaps ¡­ Even this point was already within his plans, how could someone like Sheng Liang be able to easily let others see through his secrets?


    Qiao Xuan rejoiced secretly, luckily he was not his enemy, otherwise it would be too terrifying.


    Going downstairs, Qiao Xuan''s phone suddenly rang. She saw that the name on the screen was Sheng Hua.


    Even though he had already accepted the fact that he had been reborn, Qiao Xuan still had a strange feeling when she saw his name. After all, they had once been husband and wife for a year.


    Sheng Hua invited her out to meet him, his tone was very sincere.


    Speaking of which, before she was pregnant, Sheng Hua had been as gentle and refined to her as he was to everyone else. If not for the fact that he had personally seen his emotionless face afterwards, Qiao Xuan would never dare to believe that Sheng Hua was actually such a person.


    Qiao Xuan still went forward to see what he had to say since he was so careless yesterday.


    In a Western restaurant, when Sheng Hua saw Qiao Xuan enter, he immediately stood up and helped her pull a chair over. Then, he called for a waiter and asked him what he wanted to eat.


    "Just a cup of coffee, please." Qiao Xuan did not even look at it, and closed the menu.


    Sheng Hua took it and said lightly: "Stop drinking your coffee, your stomach is not good."

 C10

    After Sheng Hua finished speaking, he turned towards the waiter and ordered a cup of hot cocoa for her and a few dishes that Qiao Xuan liked to eat.


    Qiao Xuan had never known, that Sheng Hua had such an understanding of her preferences. In the past, when they lived together, he had never been so attentive.


    This was completely different from what she imagined when she first came. She had thought that Sheng Hua would angrily ask her when he had become involved with Sheng Liang behind his back.


    But the calmer he was, the more Qiao Xuan felt that this man was fake.


    "Just say it, no need to be like this." From the moment she decided to break off the engagement with Sheng Hua, Qiao Xuan had already mentally prepared herself for her revenge, so she hoped that he would be more straightforward.


    Sheng Hua looked at her in astonishment. "Qiao Qiao, are you angry because you were sick yesterday and I wasn''t with you?"


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she did not expect that even now, Sheng Hua was still harboring such thoughts, did he really think that she was only following him to vent her anger?


    Did he take her for a pretentious woman?


    "No." Qiao Xuan only said two words, and didn''t say anymore words to explain.


    Seeing her reaction, Sheng Hua finally revealed a trace of impatience. He leaned back, crossed his legs, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What did Ol ''Three give you? How did you help him?"


    "Since he''s been removed from his post, what other benefits can he give me? Besides, I don''t think I can help him in any way." Sheng Hua''s current appearance was probably the real him. He couldn''t help but feel disgust in his heart.


    "You should be clear about what abilities you have," Sheng Hua chuckled. "Qiao Qiao, I think it''s necessary for me to remind you that I arranged for Qiao Nan to go abroad and also your parents, who are back home, to wait for news of our marriage."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled, his fingers immediately clenched: "What exactly do you want?"


    Her brother Qiao Nan had indeed been arranged by Sheng Hua to go abroad to study. At that time, they had already confirmed their relationship, so she let him handle it with ease. Now that he mentioned it, it was obvious that it was a threat.


    Sheng Hua stood up, tidied up his clothes, and said slowly: "Ol ''Three knows what I want, and it would be best if that thing appeared on my desk tomorrow. Otherwise, you might not be able to see your beloved brother anymore."


    Hearing his last sentence, Qiao Xuan''s mind buzzed, and his face lost all color: "Don''t hurt my brother!"


    Sheng Hua left her a look that depends on your performance, and then walked out.


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, then remembered to call Qiao Nan, but he could not get through.


    Since Sheng Hua had already said that, then it wouldn''t just be to scare her.


    But she really did not know what Sheng Hua was talking about, and now, she could only ask Sheng Liang.


    When Qiao Xuan returned to Sheng Liang''s home, she saw that he had already went downstairs and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper.


    Before she could say anything, Sheng Liang asked first, "Where did you go?"


    He did not raise his head to look at her, and his tone of voice was similar to how it normally was. Qiao Xuan slowly walked over, and also did not conceal anything. "Sheng Hua is looking for me."


    Just as he expected, Sheng Liang did not seem surprised at all. He only made an "oh" and continued to read the newspaper.


    However, Qiao Xuan couldn''t be this calm. She was still worried about Qiao Nan''s safety as she stood in front of him and said softly, "Since we''re cooperating, can you help me out?"


    "Sheng Hua asked you to find me?" Sheng Liang still did not raise his head, and directly replied, "I''m sorry, I can''t help you with that."

 C11

    "I still haven''t said ¡­" She still hadn''t said what kind of help she wanted him to help her, yet he just rejected her offer like that. Qiao Xuan was a little anxious.


    "I know what Sheng Hua wants, but I can''t tell you," Sheng Liang said as he finally raised his head to look at her. "However, I can guarantee the safety of your family."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, Sheng Liang... He knew everything.


    "Are you sure?" Of course it would be good if he could do this, she also didn''t want to be restricted by Sheng Hua because of this.


    "However, the condition is that you temporarily cannot meet them. I will arrange for them to be in a safe place. When I let you meet them, I will decide." Sheng Liang still spoke with a tone as calm as water.


    Qiao Xuan said skeptically: "If you are like this, what difference is there between you and Sheng Hua?" Her family had simply fallen from one kidnapper to another.


    "You can understand it that way, but you have to think about it clearly. At least they are safe in my hands." Sheng Liang folded the newspaper, put it aside and stood up to walk upstairs, "Before tonight, they will give you a call."


    Qiao Xuan saw that he had already reached the stairs, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Tomorrow, when Sheng Hua asks me, what should I say?"


    "You tell him I don''t know what he''s talking about." Sheng Liang''s footsteps did not stop and her voice was also light and shallow.


    In that case, Sheng Hua would probably get angry from embarrassment, but if she could ensure the safety of her family tonight, she wouldn''t have to worry about anything.


    "That''s right, when you go to the company tomorrow, ask the old man for a month''s leave, just say that we are going on a trip to Europe." Sheng Liang suddenly turned and said to Qiao Xuan. There was no room for discussion.


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say something, but when she looked again, Sheng Liang had already entered the room.


    But now, she could only listen to his arrangements. She had to make sure her family was safe before making her decision. She couldn''t let the tragedy of her past life happen again.


    After Sheng Liang changed his clothes, he left the room. When he left, he told her not to go anywhere, because he believed that he was going to arrange matters for her family.


    In the evening, Qiao Nan called. He said that he was very safe with his parents, so Qiao Xuan did not need to worry.


    Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, then asked Qiao Nan in a low voice: "Where are you guys now, and how many people are watching over you?"


    Qiao Nan was startled, then laughed: "What do you mean watch it, Sis, you think we were kidnapped?"


    This time, it was Qiao Xuan''s turn to be stunned. "Could it be ¡­ Didn''t you all get controlled by Sheng Liang''s men?


    "We should be under his protection, right? He told me not to go out so I wouldn''t get targeted." After Qiao Nan finished speaking, his tone turned serious, "But, Sis, what happened? Shouldn''t you be betrothed to Sheng Hua? Why are you with Sheng Liang now?"


    Qiao Xuan was still digesting Qiao Nan''s words before, and replied absentmindedly: "I''ll tell you about this matter in the future, be careful you and your parents, if you have anything else remember to call me, don''t trust others."


    After hearing Qiao Nan''s guarantee again and again, Qiao Xuan hung up the phone, his mind in a mess.


    In the morning, she thought that Sheng Liang was just like Sheng Hua, using her family as hostages to threaten her. Now, it seems like she misunderstood him.


    Qiao Xuan had originally wanted to apologize to him when he returned, but Sheng Liang had not come back even until nine in the evening.

 C12

    "Miss Qiao, don''t wait any longer. Teacher might not come back, he has been spending the night outside often." The maid Qing Qing said to Qiao Xuan.


    "I know, thank you." Qiao Xuan wanted to ask if Sheng Liang had a lover outside, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.


    She was just a partner with him. There was no need for her to interfere in his private life.


    Sheng Liang had returned the next morning. He still wore a black shirt and black pants, and a black windbreaker was on the outside. Although the temperature was a little low early in the morning, it was still in sweltering summer.


    Qiao Xuan thought back to the day at Sheng Family, where Sheng Liang''s room, which was as cold as an ice cellar, was used by him to reduce his own pain. Last night, he probably went to a similar place, which was why he was dressed like this.


    Sheng Liang acted as if he did not see Qiao Xuan and headed straight upstairs, occasionally coughing a few times while using his hands to cover his lips.


    Seeing that, Qiao Xuan immediately followed: "Have you caught a cold?" He couldn''t have been cold all night, could he?


    Sheng Liang''s face was still as pale as ever, the look in her eyes was still as indifferent as usual: Miss Qiao, this is not a problem that you should be concerned about, after eating breakfast, remember to go the company to request for leave, I have already booked the plane ticket for this afternoon, you do not need to pack anything, I will get someone to prepare it for you, do you have any other problems?


    Qiao Xuan was a very independent and decisive person in the past, but in front of Sheng Liang, she felt that she was completely unable to unleash her powers.


    She shook her head. "No."


    Sheng Liang did not say anything else and walked up the stairs.


    After Qiao Xuan finished his breakfast, he told her that the driver was already waiting for her outside. He then added, "Mister said that if Miss Qiao is used to driving his own car, you can pick any car in the garage."


    Qiao Xuan never asked for a ride, it was just a transportation device anyways, she would be happy if someone drove her.


    However, the moment she stepped into the company, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely. As she walked past them, there was a flurry of discussion behind her.


    The people who dealt with numbers all day seemed to not be very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, especially a workaholic like Qiao Xuan. In the past, besides work, she didn''t really care about other things.


    Thus, when she found out that she had been reborn and showed good will to Sheng Liang without any warning, she readily agreed to it. She didn''t even consider how other people would view her.


    Even though everyone in the company was pointing fingers at her, she didn''t care at all. She knew what she wanted very well.


    After exiting the elevator, she looked up and saw Sheng Hua. She did not hide and walked towards him: "I asked Sheng Liang, he said he doesn''t know what you want."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was not the least bit nervous, Sheng Hua was even more sure that she knew that her family was safe, but the person who took them all away, Sheng Hua had no way to prove that it was Sheng Liang.


    If Sheng Liang had any sort of ulterior motives, he would definitely go look for Sheng Liang. But not only did Sheng Liang not make any movements, he even went and found a woman to share the Spring Festival Gala with.


    Sheng Hua started to doubt himself. Could it be that he was really being too paranoid?


    Sheng Hua laughed, moving closer to Qiao Xuan, pretending to be close to her: "Qiao Qiao, are you really planning to be with him? Don''t be tricked by him, he is not as simple as he looks on the surface. He has actually been drug addicts the entire time, if you follow him, you will definitely be implicated."

 C13

    As if he said that out of goodwill, Qiao Xuan laughed coldly to himself in his heart. He merely used these words to probe her.


    The reason why Sheng Liang kept using such an extreme method to hide the use of drugs was because he did not want others to know that Sheng Hua wanted to get information from her. How could she not let him do as he pleased?


    Sheng Hua looked straight at Qiao Xuan behind his glasses, as if he was trying to find out if her words were true or false. After a long while, he finally said, "Qiao Qiao, if you regret it, you can come back anytime. We can still be like before."


    Like before, then he caused an abortion and caused the destruction of his family?


    The current her was no longer the simple Qiao Xuan who was at his mercy.


    Qiao Xuan did not immediately reject, and only said: "I will consider it."


    She was too clear that the reason Sheng Hua had still come to fight for it was because she had what he wanted in her hands. It was just that she still didn''t know what it was.


    Qiao Xuan walked past Sheng Hua and headed to Sheng Haotian''s office. Without saying anything unnecessary, he directly told him about requesting for leave.


    "To Europe?" Sheng Haotian sneered, "That brat made such a big deal out of this, leaving behind such a mess and thinking of leaving?"


    "Didn''t the chairman dismiss him?" Hearing that, Sheng Haotian didn''t wish for Sheng Liang to leave.


    "That''s not a must-have option." Sheng Haotian was slightly angered, but he did not express it in front of Qiao Xuan, "Miss Qiao, I still hope that you can get engaged to Sheng Hua. As for Sheng Liang, he is not worthy of you."


    Qiao Xuan had never heard his father speak of his son like this. Even though she was the company''s chief financial officer, in the end, she was still just a worker. How could she be compared with the young masters of Wealthy Class?


    Some rumours said that back then, Sheng Haotian had been plotted against by someone. After getting drunk and entering the wrong room, he slept with Sheng Liang''s crazy mother, and the person who plotted against him afterwards even reported this matter to the media.


    Public opinion had not been suppressed for a very long time, to the point that he was forced to accept Sheng Liang, the illegitimate child, as his Sheng Family and give him the title of Third Young Master. But from the beginning to the end, he had never looked at him directly.


    Qiao Xuan was not a person who liked to pay attention to the private lives of others. She had never thought that these flowery news were true, but looking at Sheng Haotian''s reaction, it was highly likely that those rumors were true.


    "The chairman is praising me too much. Moreover, no one is unsuited to be a good person when it comes to matters of the heart." Qiao Xuan slightly bent his body towards Sheng Haotian and said lightly, "I will arrange the follow-up work well before I leave. Chairman, please take care."


    Sheng Haotian watched as Qiao Xuan closed the door and left. He threw the folder in his hands on the table with a "pa" sound: "Ungrateful!"


    When Qiao Xuan returned home, she saw a lady''s luggage at the entrance. For a moment, she thought that Sheng Liang had prepared it for her, but from the looks of it, it shouldn''t be new.


    While she was still in a daze, she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a woman coming down the stairs.


    Women were very beautiful. They were the type that appeared to be very intelligent and had a very good temperament.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan standing there in a daze, the woman walked towards her and smiled sweetly: "Miss Qiao right? Hello, my name is Luo Keke, I''m Sheng Liang''s friend."

 C14

    Qiao Xuan looked at Luo Keke, and immediately understood what was going on with the trunk of the Profound Entrance, so she blurted out a question: "Does Miss Luo want to go to Europe with me?"


    Qiao Xuan''s directness caused Luo Keke to be unwittingly stunned for a moment. She reacted and then suddenly laughed: "That''s right, I''m Sheng Liang''s private doctor, as long as he leaves the Sang City, I will accompany him."


    Private... Doctor.


    Qiao Xuan seemed to understand where he stayed every night. Only after thinking about it in this way did she realize that she was meddling in other people''s private affairs. She laughed mockingly at herself.


    "I need to go to the washroom. I''ll have to trouble Miss Qiao to look after Sheng Liang for me." Luo Keke pointed to the stairs and smiled to Qiao Xuan.


    "What happened to Sheng Liang?" Qiao Xuan realized that her tone was a little nervous, and hurriedly changed the topic, "If he''s sick, will today''s trip be cancelled?"


    Luo Keke shook his head: "Probably not, when Sheng Liang has decided on something, it will not change temporarily. Or, you can advise him to board the plane with a high fever, it is indeed not a wise choice."


    Luo Keke turned around and left. Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but went upstairs and knocked on Sheng Liang''s door in the end, and upon hearing his response, she pushed open the door and entered. She saw him lying on the bed with his back facing her, wrapped in a thick blanket.


    "Keke, can you pour me a glass of water?" Sheng Liang coughed twice, and said with a hoarse voice.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he thought that it was Luo Keke who came in, so he did not explain and went over to pour a cup of water.


    "Thank you." When Sheng Liang reached out to catch it, he saw that the one standing in front of him was Qiao Xuan, "Why is it you?"


    "Miss Luo said you have a fever. I just came up to take a look. Are you sure you want to leave this afternoon?"


    "I''m fine. I won''t delay the plane." After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he saw that Qiao Xuan was still standing there without moving, he raised his head and looked at her, "What else do you have for me?"


    These few days, Sheng Liang had already gotten used to her official attitude. They were originally in a cooperative relationship and did not have any other feelings for each other.


    However, she still wanted to tell him something: "Regarding my family, I misunderstood you. I apologize and thank you for having people protect them."


    "You''re welcome, this can be considered my sincerity towards Miss Qiao. I hope that you can use it in the future when you use it, without holding back." Sheng Liang drank a few mouthfuls of water, then placed the cup to the side, not looking at Qiao Xuan anymore, "If there''s nothing else, you can leave now."


    Qiao Xuan had never been ordered to leave before, but it was obvious that she would become a commoner here. However, it didn''t matter, she did not have that much self-esteem.


    Sheng Liang came down to eat lunch with them, but from the looks of it, his appetite was not good, he only drank a little porridge.


    After dinner, someone brought their luggage over. Qiao Xuan opened his own box and saw that all of the daily necessities were in stock, including underwear.


    "Anything else you need?" Seeing Qiao Xuan in a daze, Sheng Liang asked indifferently.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "No."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned because other than her parents, there had never been anyone else who had prepared everything for her like this. Although he knew that this had nothing to do with their relationship, this feeling was very subtle.

 C15

    On the way to the airport, Sheng Liang fell asleep in the car. Qiao Xuan quietly reminded the driver to turn off the cold air and then covered his body with Sheng Liang''s windbreaker.


    Luo Keke, who was sitting in front saw Qiao Xuan''s actions from the rearview mirror, and unconsciously smiled and said: "Miss Qiao is really a considerate girlfriend."


    Knowing that his actions had caused Luo Keke to misunderstand, Qiao Xuan immediately retracted his hand. "I just do not want his illness to worsen, or affect my journey."


    Hearing her words, Luo Keke did not refute, and only laughed.


    "Doctor Luo, you talk too much." It was unknown when Sheng Liang had woken up, but he extended his hand to take away the wind jacket on his body. Qiao Xuan turned his head and looked over. Although it was just a side profile, it was still perfect, but his expression was too indifferent, making people not dare to approach him. The car stopped outside the airport, and the driver opened the car door for them before going to grab the luggage. Just as Qiao Xuan was about to walk in, someone suddenly wrapped their arms around her waist, causing her to tremble in fear. Just as she wanted to turn around and look, Sheng Liang''s other hand had already grabbed her chin and lightly kissed the corner of her lips: "Ignore them."


    His heartbeat suddenly sped up, and his breathing started to become messy. Even though he knew that Sheng Liang was only showing it to others, Qiao Xuan''s face still burned uncontrollably.


    However, Sheng Liang acted as if nothing had happened and continued to carry her into the airport hall.


    Qiao Xuan understood that she should not have thought about this, but just now, in that instant, she was filled with anticipation, even though she did not know what she was looking forward to.


    It was a feeling she had never experienced before. She was flustered, as if she was about to jump out.


    This feeling continued until they boarded the plane. Sheng Liang let go of her and walked over to his seat to read a financial magazine.


    His expression was still as indifferent as before, just like how Qiao Xuan had expected him to be, but in his heart, he was still a little disappointed.


    Her seat was behind Sheng Liang, and she was right next to him. Luo Keke lightly touched her arm, and said softly: "Don''t blame him, when the day comes when you truly understand him, you will understand why he is doing this."


    Since Luo Keke had said this, it made Qiao Xuan understand that she had mistaken Luo Keke as Sheng Liang''s lover previously. However, it was also impossible for her and Sheng Liang to be together.


    In this life, she wouldn''t bet her feelings on anyone else.


    Their first stop was Paris from the International Airport in Sang City. Qiao Xuan had come to this place many times before for work, but he had always been in a hurry and never got to enjoy the scenery here.


    And this time, being with Sheng Liang, she did not think that he would really accompany her everywhere, it was just a cover.


    Qiao Xuan''s guess was quickly confirmed. On the second day after they arrived in Paris, Qiao Xuan slept at a hotel, and after the time difference was over, Qiao Xuan opened the door and went out. He saw a young man who was currently knocking on the door of Sheng Liang''s room.


    Just then, Sheng Liang opened the door and saw that the young man''s line of sight was right in front of him. He said in a low voice, "Don''t mind her, come in."


    Qiao Xuan stood in place for a good while, not because he was afraid of the man''s cold gaze, but because the moment he turned his head, Qiao Xuan felt that she seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

 C16

    However, this question did not haunt her for long. After all, she had seen too many people, and this person was clearly not on the same track as her own life.


    Qiao Xuan turned around and returned to her room, planning to change into a new set of clothes and go out for a walk. Unexpectedly, the moment she went in, before she could even close the door, a tall figure suddenly flashed in.


    "Shh, don''t scream." As the man pressed Qiao Xuan against the wall, he slammed the door shut with his long legs.


    Qiao Xuan recognized his voice, and when he saw that devilish face, he couldn''t help but frown.


    Sheng Qian, why is he here?


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not struggle anymore, Sheng Qian released her and smiled: "Don''t look at me like that, I will take it as an invitation."


    The expression in his eyes was very dubious, as if a woman would understand the meaning behind his words. It was a pity, that Qiao Xuan had never been one to get away with romance.


    "Are you following us?" Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been such a coincidence. As soon as their front legs arrived, so did his back feet.


    Sheng Qian completely ignored the doubt in Qiao Xuan''s eyes, he leaned over and leaned in front of Qiao Xuan and said: "It''s you, not you guys."


    From that day at Sheng Family, Qiao Xuan had experienced how this fourth young master was good at speaking, he truly desired for the world to be free. Now that he had followed them to Paris, it was obvious that he was also here for Sheng Liang.


    Even though they had already hidden themselves carefully, Sheng Hua and the others still did not give up. Sheng Liang''s situation at home could be easily imagined.


    Qiao Xuan blocked him without leaving a trace, and said lightly: "If Sheng Hua told you to come, go back and tell him, I really don''t have the thing he wanted."


    However, Qiao Xuan could see that Sheng Qian was arrogant. He and Sheng Hua were not born from the same mother, and they had never been in the same camp. He definitely did not want others to think that he was the same as Sheng Hua, so Qiao Xuan said it deliberately.


    However, although Sheng Qian was a silkpants, he was not a simple-minded person. He laughed wickedly and said, "I don''t like women who play small tricks in front of me. It''s very boring. However, I am very interested in what you have to say. Hand it over to me, and I can guarantee that you will see the results you desire. "


    "I said, I didn''t." It seemed that Sheng Qian knew about it too, but what exactly was it that made them so concerned about it, yet she did not know about it herself?


    Sheng Qian smiled playfully, raised his hand and pointed to his head: "It''s with you, but remember, when you find out, don''t tell anyone, especially my third brother."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart froze. He still had more questions, but Sheng Qian had already opened the door and left.


    However, Sheng Qian''s last words, had been echoing in his mind the entire time. Even though she and Sheng Liang had a mutual interest relationship from the beginning, after reaching their goal, they would each take what they needed.


    However, she knew nothing about Sheng Liang, who was her trump card.


    The reason why Sheng Liang brought her to France in such a hurry was not to hide from others, but to prevent her from taking the thing in her hands away from Sheng Hua, right?


    She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not notice that someone was already standing in front of her. She suddenly raised her head and saw Sheng Liang and was shocked.


    "Who''s looking for you?" Sheng Liang''s tone was still indifferent, as if she was casually asking and didn''t care about the answer.


    "No one, it''s a waiter." Qiao Xuan turned his head away guiltily and ruffled the hair by his ear.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head to look at her, then turned around to look at the direction of the corridor''s end. After a long while, he said: "Go and change.

 C17

    When they went downstairs, Qiao Xuan was a little absent-minded, and was almost knocked by the man who was walking towards them. Fortunately, Sheng Liang had pulled her away in time.


    "What did Little Four tell you?" Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan to the wall and slowly tidied up his wrinkled clothes.


    Qiao Xuan was a little shocked at first, but quickly understood. Indeed, nothing could be hidden from Sheng Liang: "You should know."


    These were the words spoken by Primal Chaos, but Sheng Liang did not investigate them too deeply. He only reminded Qiao Xuan, "Miss Qiao, do not forget about our relationship."


    Of course, she remembered that her partner was Sheng Liang.


    "Have you recovered from your illness? Why haven''t you seen Miss Luo?" As he sat in the dining hall, Qiao Xuan realized that he hadn''t seen Luo Keke the entire morning.


    "She''s my doctor, not my servant." When Sheng Liang finished speaking, she saw that Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant, so she added on, "She is going to Verona, and coincidentally is travelling along the same route as us."


    It was rare that Sheng Liang explained it to her so much, but Qiao Xuan still did not understand. "What kind of place is Verona?"


    Sheng Liang saw that she was at a loss and actually laughed: "Go and check on the internet when you have time, Miss workaholic."


    Qiao Xuan did not notice his words because she was completely captivated by his faint smile. She had thought that Sheng Liang would only have a cold face, but it turns out that he also knew how to laugh, and very nicely as well.


    Sensing Qiao Xuan''s gaze, the smile on Sheng Liang''s face gradually faded, and he covered himself as he picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip.


    Although he knew that Sheng Liang''s goal in coming to Paris was not simple, if he did not say it, Qiao Xuan would pretend that he did not know, and would not dare to have any expectations for him.


    But to her surprise, after eating breakfast, Sheng Liang actually invited her out for a walk. This made Qiao Xuan feel very surprised, and also a little ¡­ Being flattered.


    The sky was a little overcast, and soon it began to drizzle. There were people on the streets holding up umbrellas that were colorful like flowers blooming in the blink of an eye. Such a scene, coupled with the romantic atmosphere, made the scene even more charming.


    When he came out, Qiao Xuan was only wearing a silk floral dress that got colder the moment it rained. She unconsciously rubbed her arms, and in the next second, a suit coat was draped over her body.


    Qiao Xuan raised her head to look at Sheng Liang. His face was still pale, and his illness had not completely recovered either. She wanted to quickly take it off and return it to him.


    Sheng Liang pressed her hand down, and helped her put her jacket back up: "Don''t take away a man''s chance to be a gentleman."


    Qiao Xuan did not move, he only said thanks.


    At that time, they had already walked to the side of the Seine River, where there were many stalls selling colored paintings from various places of interest. Sheng Liang walked over and chose a painting of the Louvre and gave it to Qiao Xuan.


    After that, they went to many other places as well. It was not a famous place, but because of the man beside them, Qiao Xuan felt that this trip was worthwhile.


    The rain had stopped long ago. The sky was very blue, and the white clouds seemed to change in the blink of an eye. It was like a scene in a painting.


    Qiao Xuan sat down beside a fountain in a small plaza. Just as Qiao Xuan opened up the colored painting and was about to admire it, a skateboard teenager suddenly bumped into her. Her hand loosened and the painting fell into the pool.


    The boy immediately apologized in French, but she ignored him. Seeing the picture in the water, she was anxious to reach for it.


    When Sheng Liang came back to buy the drinks, he saw Qiao Xuan''s actions and immediately pulled her back: "What are you doing?"


    "The painting you gave me fell into the water." Qiao Xuan''s gaze was still on the surface of the water and he saw that the colors on the painting had already been dyed by the water.


    Sheng Liang was startled for a moment, and then handed a cup of hot chocolate to her. With an indifferent tone, he replied, "It''s useless to retrieve something that has lost its value."

 C18

    " "What''s the number for the police?" Qiao Xuan took out his phone and asked Sheng Liang quietly.


    " What are you staring at? Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan who was still in his original position, and coldly shouted.


    " Sheng Liang, be careful! " When Qiao Xuan shouted, she rushed over and used both hands to hold onto Sheng Liang''s head, then swung the rod on her arm.


    " Young Master Liang, are you alright? " Luo Jie who was beside Sheng Liang appeared in time, and after knocking out a few people, he asked Sheng Liang.


    " "Before the police come here, clean this place up. Remember to leave some evidence." When Sheng Liang looked at those people again, his eyes became colder and colder.


    " "I know." Luo Jie said and then started fighting with the rest of them. Sheng Liang carried Qiao Xuan out of the street, and very quickly, they entered the carriage. After placing Qiao Xuan on the carriage, even though his movements were already very light, Qiao Xuan was still awake from the pain. She looked at Sheng Liang, and the first thing she asked was: "Are you alright?"

 C19

    " Young Master Liang? "


    Luo Jie could not help but shout out.


    " "I understand."


    Sheng Liang said calmly.


    " "You''re awake. Does it hurt so much?"


    Sheng Liang came in from outside and saw Qiao Xuan sitting on a chair beside the sickbed with his eyes wide open.


    " I''m the victim, I have the right to know, "


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang, "Their police should give me an explanation."


    " You know there''s danger, why are you still charging over? Aren''t you afraid of death? "


    Sheng Liang caressed her hair without batting an eyelid. There was a fragmented light in his eyes, like stars in the ocean.


    "You are my woman in name."


    Sheng Liang didn''t plan to let go of her at all.


    With a somewhat astringent feeling in his heart, Qiao Xuan reminded him, "But in reality, it isn''t."


    " It doesn''t matter. You can always, if you wish. "


    Sheng Liang tilted his head and kissed her earlobe.


    All the blood in Qiao Xuan''s body seemed to have been ignited, his entire body started to heat up, especially the parts of his body that had been kissed, they seemed to be burning.


    She was very clear that a person like Sheng Liang would not do anything without benefits. "What do you want?"

 C20

    "Qiao Xuan, a woman is too smart to be interesting, in this kind of situation, you only need to enjoy it." Sheng Liang''s pale face had an expression that was difficult to decipher.


    Qiao Xuan pressed her hand against his chest and tried her best to maintain a final distance between them, "There are some things that I have not been able to clear, so my heart is not at ease."


    Sheng Liang straightened his body and placed the apple he had peeled a moment ago into her hands. "You''re right.


    After he finished speaking, he walked out. Qiao Xuan watched his back and felt that his words were implying something.


    However, she didn''t have the energy to think about it. She quickly fell asleep, feeling dizzy.


    When he woke up again, it was already evening. Before Qiao Xuan even opened his eyes, he smelt a faint fragrance of porridge.


    "You must be hungry. I made some porridge. Drink some more." Sheng Liang reached out and helped Qiao Xuan up, placing a pillow behind her, then lifted up a bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge, placing it beside her lips.


    When he was helping her just now, the two of them were very close. Qiao Xuan smelled the unique perfume on his body and couldn''t help but be a little absent-minded.


    Sheng Liang smiled, "Have you forgotten that you only have one hand right now? Even a strong woman can show weakness occasionally."


    In Qiao Xuan''s knowledge, there didn''t seem to be a concept of relying on men. She was used to relying on herself to solve everything.


    "This matter is done with a sense of camaraderie. Actually, it is not within our scope of cooperation. Young Master Liang, in the future ¡­ You don''t have to do this. " Although Sheng Liang''s personality was eccentric and he didn''t have much of a feeling of existing within his brothers, his excellence was still obvious. In front of such a charming man, Qiao Xuan felt that she couldn''t really handle him.


    Sheng Liang still did not let go of her hand, and her tone did not contain the slightest bit of impatience: "Is entering the role an actor''s basic level of training, or, are you afraid?"


    It seemed like she had tacitly agreed to accompany him in acting from the beginning, but now that she deliberately kept her distance from him, it seemed a little forced.


    She looked up at him, the spoon in his hand still in her mouth, as if he would stick to it if he didn''t get her response. She opened her mouth slightly and drank the porridge.


    "Rest well and we''ll go to Venice in a few days." Sheng Liang laughed, but to him, that smile was negligible.


    Qiao Xuan never had any expectations towards where she would go. She seemed to be born not to be a romantic person, but because of Sheng Liang, she seemed to have some expectations towards the future.


    Perhaps it was because she had slept for an entire afternoon that Qiao Xuan was unable to sleep at night. She slowly got off the bed and walked out of the sickroom, wanting to see where Sheng Liang was.


    The corridor was quiet, and even the occasional passerby could barely make a sound.


    Qiao Xuan walked forward lightly and accidentally heard someone speaking in Chinese in the room. That voice sounded familiar, as if it belonged to Luo Jie.


    "Young Master Liang, we''ve already sent the photos to the media, but there''s no news on the side at all." Luo Jie said.


    Sheng Liang sat on the Floating Window, holding a cup of red wine in his hand. He looked at the night sky outside, his expression displaying his usual indifference. "It''s alright, we still have time."

 C21

    " Young Master Liang, are you sure that''s useful? He heard about the matter of him and Lin Xi''er, and he has not heard about any other women in the past few years. Clearly, Lin Xi''er has some methods too, can a person as simple as us Miss Qiao get his attention? " Luo Jie expressed his doubt.


    " Didn''t you have a question to ask? " It was as if an actor had left the stage, and Sheng Liang had returned to his normal appearance, her voice was so light that it seemed like she could dissipate into the air at any time.


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to come in and interrogate her. Hearing Sheng Liang and Luo Jie''s conversation, they seemed to be using her to do something, but when she saw Sheng Liang, she suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.


    " "No, I just can''t sleep." Qiao Xuan bit his lower lip, "Can we talk for a bit?"


    " It''s been about three years, Lin Xi''er was originally a model of a production company. On the anniversary of the Golden Age, she cooperated with them and they got to know each other. After that, Sheng Hua took out the money and gave her a movie. Sheng Liang did not hide anything and said directly.


    " I don''t care what you want to do. I only want one thing. In any case, please make sure that my family is safe. " Qiao Xuan did not want to try the heart-wrenching pain of losing his family members again.


    " Are these people with the people in the day? " Hiding in a safe corner, Qiao Xuan asked in a low voice.

 C22

    The light was dim, so Qiao Xuan couldn''t see Sheng Liang''s face clearly. However, when she saw him lean against the wall and slowly slide down to the ground, she knew that her guess was right.


    " "Don''t say anything." Qiao Xuan only had one hand, so it was a bit difficult for her to move. However, she still used the fastest speed to put on the man''s coat on Sheng Liang''s body, and even put on a hat for him.


    " You speak French? " Sheng Liang saw that she had put a lot of effort into putting on the woman''s windbreaker and wrapped her hair with a silk scarf.


    " They''re over there! " someone suddenly shouted.


    " Young Master Liang, how are you? " While Luo Jie drove fast, he looked at Sheng Liang behind him in the rearview mirror with worry.


    " "It''s fine." Sheng Liang curled up on the back of the carriage and tightly clenched his fingers.

 C23

    " Help him to the bathroom. " Qiao Xuan said to Luo Jie before she turned around to open the door of the refrigerator to take some ice cubes. Before they returned, she had already put in a pool of cold water and placed these ice cubes inside, it should be able to make Sheng Liang feel better.


    " "Right." Qiao Xuan replied. She thought that Sheng Liang needed it anyway.


    " I don''t mind, Luo Jie went to let them boil some ginger tea, you drink some so that you won''t catch another cold. " Qiao Xuan remembered that back in France, he was still having a fever. After all the torture just now, he wondered if he would be sick again.

 C24

    Qiao Xuan knew that the Wealthy Class family was as deep as the ocean, but she did not expect such a desperate situation.


    She was glad that she had seen this point clearly earlier in this life. She would definitely do her best to protect herself and her family, and would definitely not let Sheng Hua be complacent for too long.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was woken up by the sound of a mobile phone ringing. She opened her eyes and saw Qiao Nan''s name on the screen.


    Hearing her nervous tone, Qiao Nan couldn''t help but tease, "Something impressive has happened, Sis. It seems like your relationship with your new brother-in-law has developed quite well."


    "What new brother-in-law, don''t speak nonsense." Qiao Xuan reprimanded, but when he thought of Sheng Liang, a sweet feeling arose in his heart.


    "Soo Soo has already left the country, how can you not allow others to say such things?" Qiao Nan cut her throat.


    Qiao Xuan then recognized the problem and immediately asked: "What did you say?"


    Qiao Xuan''s tone sounded like he really didn''t know, and Qiao Nan was too clear that his elder sister didn''t understand Feng Yue''s EQ, so he could only explain: "Don''t you even read the news on your phone? The photos of the two of you hugging and kissing the whole world."


    Photos? Qiao Xuan suddenly remembered the conversation between Luo Jie and Sheng Liang. It should have been when they were at the hospital, and Sheng Liang had kissed her, right?


    Although Qiao Xuan had said that he wouldn''t mind what Sheng Liang did, he still felt a little disappointed when he thought about how flustered he looked every time he approached her.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xuan was unable to recover for a long time. She just sat on the bed in a daze, until someone suddenly knocked on the door.


    Actually, she had thought that it would be Sheng Liang outside, but when she opened the door, the person she saw was Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Qian was still wearing the white suit, a pink shirt with the cross necklace around his neck. With one hand on the doorframe and the other in his pocket, he smiled sinisterly: "What''s wrong, are you really in love with my third brother?"


    Qiao Xuan almost blurted out that she wasn''t, but she immediately realised that this was a pit that Sheng Qian had dug for her. Regardless of whether she answered yes or no, it proved that she and Sheng Liang were only putting on an act.


    "Sheng Liang knows you''re here, you don''t have to hide from him in the future." Qiao Xuan changed the topic and stretched out his hand to close the door.


    Sheng Qian immediately ran in, and laughed: "I know, there is nothing that can be hidden from him, so I did not plan to hide from him, but, if I want to see you privately, it is obviously best not to let him find out."


    Seeing the mysterious smile on Sheng Qian''s face, Qiao Xuan felt that it was too tired to get along with him, so he had to be careful with every word he said: "Fourth Young Master, I don''t have anything to do with you."


    Sheng Qian laughed, his smile was as sly as a fox''s. "If there was none in the past, it doesn''t mean there won''t be in the future."


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "Don''t you have anything else to say to me? If not, you can go now."


    Seeing her speechless expression, Sheng Qian stopped teasing her and sat on the sofa. He spread his arms on the back of the sofa and laughed: "Of course there is.


    These words were definitely not Sheng Hua''s original words, but their meaning should be the same. Luo Jie said that there was nothing happening with Sheng Hua after the photo was sent out, so he was telling Sheng Qian to do this behind his back.


    "Are you going to do it?" Qiao Xuan asked casually. She knew that since Sheng Qian had told her the truth, he must have had other intentions.

 C25

    "I want to too, but I''m afraid that Third Bro will skin me alive," Sheng Qian revealed an innocent expression. "You know, when Third Bro is angry, it''s scary too."


    As expected, this Fourth Young Master was still testing her. Moreover, he was good at taking advantage of his strengths, which made it impossible for her to dislike him. "I don''t think so. He doesn''t even talk much. How could he possibly lose his temper?"


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan, and did not say anything else. He only laughed, and after a long while, said: "I''ve helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"


    Qiao Xuan looked at him in astonishment. She didn''t even know how he had helped her, much less thanked him.


    Seeing that she didn''t understand, Sheng Qian didn''t explain anything, he stood up from the sofa, walked to her side, and looked down at her with his absolute superiority in height. He quickly took the phone from her hands, put his number on it, and whispered in her ear: "When you need me, just make a call.


    His tone was too ambiguous, and he was so close, it made Qiao Xuan a little uncomfortable. She wanted to retreat, but she bumped into a flower rack at the back, so Sheng Qian immediately grabbed her by the waist: "Be careful, don''t hurt your legs too."


    Seeing the brilliant smile on his face, Qiao Xuan''s face instantly turned hot.


    It was at this moment that a knock on the door sounded out. When Qiao Xuan hurriedly pushed opened the door and entered, he saw Qiao Xuan''s face flushed red and filled with panic.


    Yet Sheng Qian still acted as if he was doing it on purpose, walking past Sheng Liang, smiling as he bid farewell to him: "Don''t forget what I told you just now."


    He blew her a kiss as he closed the door.


    Qiao Xuan frowned, she knew that she would not be able to explain it to Sheng Liang, but when she turned around and saw that Sheng Liang was completely calm, she secretly laughed at herself for putting on an act, even if she really had anything to do with Sheng Qian, Sheng Liang would not mind, for him, she was just a resource that he could use.


    "Is there something Little Four wants to talk to you about?" Sheng Liang walked in, and used his long fingers to play with the pot of Junzi Orchid on the flower rack.


    Qiao Xuan stabilized his emotions and said softly: "Sheng Hua asked him to bring me back."


    "Really? So those photos are still useful." Sheng Liang paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at her, "Then we can proceed with the next step."


    Qiao Xuan met Sheng Liang''s gaze, and felt that he was about to be sucked in, and immediately shifted his gaze away: "What''s the next step?"


    "I''ll let you know when it''s necessary." Sheng Liang walked closer to her, reached out his hand and tucked the hair at her ear behind her ear, "The next time you meet Sheng Qian, it would be best to find a hidden place and be seen by others. It won''t be too good after all."


    "I''m not ¡­" Qiao Xuan immediately wanted to explain to him, but Sheng Liang had already left the room.


    Although he might not care about the truth, Qiao Xuan still wanted to clarify things with him. She did not want him to think that she was a very casual woman.


    But just when she wanted to chase him, her phone rang again. The name on the screen was actually Sheng Hua.


    "Qiao Qiao, Fourth Bro should have told you that something happened to the company''s finance department. I hope that you can return as soon as possible." Although Sheng Hua''s tone was urgent, it still carried the elegance of the past.


    Qiao Xuan really admired his calmness, as if the person who threatened her with death wasn''t him.


    Qiao Xuan said calmly: "Whether or not I go back, I need to discuss this with Sheng Liang. As for the financial situation of the company, I will have a video conference with the supervisor below to resolve it, you don''t need to worry."

 C26

    Qiao Xuan immediately hung up the phone after speaking. She could not remain calm and collected with this hypocritical man, she had to admit that her cultivation was not that good.


    "Wait, Qiao Qiao," Sheng Hua called out hurriedly, "I don''t know what Ol ''Three has told you, but we have been together for so long, you should know about my character. The last time I spoke to you about it, I was too impatient, don''t be mad at me, come back, I promise that I will treat you and your family well."


    If she did not know his true face, she would have believed him. Qiao Xuan laughed coldly in her heart, she had initially wanted to reject him, but suddenly thought of a better idea, and changed the topic: "I will consider your words, but my prerequisite is that the person I want to marry, must be the successor of Golden Age, Sheng Liang does not seem to have much hope, but I can still consider Sheng Qian, so, you should know what to do."


    When Sheng Hua heard her words, he unconsciously let out a light laugh, "As expected of the chief financial officer of the Golden Age Sky Peace, even marriage is planned so well. Don''t worry, I definitely won''t let you down.


    "What do you want me to do?" Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to ask.


    "Help me keep an eye on Ol ''Three. I want to know everything about him." After Sheng Hua finished speaking, he added, "Especially pay attention to what kind of mysterious person he has met."


    A mysterious person? Qiao Xuan thought about the man who appeared at the door of Sheng Liang''s room when he first arrived. Could the man Sheng Hua was referring to be him?


    was waiting for her at the cafeteria. When she went over, he was drinking a strong black cup of coffee.


    However, just as Qiao Xuan was about to speak, he said: "Whatever method you use and whoever you want to make a deal with, it''s none of my business. Just remember, it''s enough as long as you and I are the only ones here."


    From the looks of it, Sheng Hua had already known the contents of his phone call with her.


    "I didn''t make a deal with anyone. I told Sheng Hua that, I just wanted him to let go of his guard against you. Also, I know what he wants to do." Qiao Xuan admitted that she had her own selfish motives, but she would definitely not harm Sheng Liang''s interests.


    Sheng Liang did not speak, and from his expression, it was not clear whether he believed Qiao Xuan or not. Only until he saw the waiter bringing over a tray, did he softly say: "Eat, get a good night''s sleep, and fly to Verona at night."


    Qiao Xuan looked at him in surprise. "Didn''t you say we were going to Venice?" Although they were all small Italian cities, since he said it so clearly, it must have a different meaning.


    Sheng Liang cut the steak on his head, his movements extremely graceful. "Luo Keke has met with mishap over there, let''s go meet up with her."


    Even though it was only a simple sentence, to the indifferent Sheng Liang, it was already very rare for him to travel thousands of miles as a friend. It could be seen that he was truly extraordinary to Luo Keke.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t ask anymore, but she still felt a bit disappointed. Although she knew that she didn''t have the qualifications to compete.


    After finishing their lunch, they went back to their respective rooms. When Qiao Xuan entered, she realised that her phone was in the dining hall, and when she opened the door and walked towards the elevator, she saw that man again.

 C27

    The man also saw her. The two of them looked at each other, then Qiao Xuan quickly shifted his gaze away. The man did not stop either, and continued to walk towards Sheng Liang''s room.


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t tell what she felt, but she was inexplicably afraid. She still couldn''t remember where she had seen this man, and subconsciously, she had the feeling that there was something scary going on.


    After going into the dining hall to retrieve her phone, when she returned and saw Sheng Liang standing at the door to her room, she unconsciously asked: "Are you locked outside?"


    But she regretted it immediately after she asked this question. This question was simply too retarded, how could someone like Sheng Liang make such a mistake?


    "I was waiting for you." Sheng Liang said as he pushed open the door, "Come in."


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked in. This room was even larger than hers, and from the French window, he could see the river.


    "Didn''t Sheng Hua tell you to see who I''m in contact with? You can tell that person just now." Sheng Liang took out a file and handed it over to Qiao Xuan, "His name is Mo Lin, he is Luo Keke''s boyfriend."


    Qiao Xuan still hadn''t looked at the file, but the words''''s boyfriend ''surprised her for a moment: "Doctor Luo ¡­ Waiting for him in Verona? " Previously, when Sheng Liang made fun of her, she had checked online that Verona was the hometown of Romeo and Juliet, and was a love sacred land. That was why she had thought that Sheng Liang was waiting for her when he suddenly mentioned about going to Verona during lunch time.


    Sheng Liang nodded his head: "But Luo Keke is in a bit of trouble, so Mo Lin will go with me."


    This kind of thing, naturally, was not something that she could control. Although she felt that that Mo Lin was strange, he was Sheng Liang''s friend, so she had no right to ask.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not make a sound, Sheng Liang took a step forward and whispered to her like a couple, "Rest assured, no matter the circumstances, I will always protect your safe return home."


    Qiao Xuan looked at his face and really wanted to ask whether he would become like an outsider again after returning to their country. However, she did not ask him, because there were some questions that it would be better if she did not know the answer.


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan lowered his head, he did not want him to see the loneliness in his eyes, "I''m going back to sleep."


    Who knew that the moment she turned around, she was pulled back by Sheng Liang: "Sleep here. Your hand is injured, there are a lot of things that are inconvenient."


    Qiao Xuan looked up at him, thinking that he had misheard. "What?"


    Sheng Liang pointed to the big bed inside: "Go and sleep, I''ll help you pack your luggage, when the time is up I''ll call for you."


    Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, she had thought that Sheng Liang had ¡­


    So she was overthinking it, but thinking about it, she knew that it was impossible, Sheng Liang didn''t even have that intention towards her.


    Other than Qiao Nan, Qiao Xuan had never entered another man''s room, so she was a little panicked. Fortunately, Sheng Liang had been doing his business outside the entire time, so she did not feel awkward.

 C28

    All of these things were within Sheng Liang''s expectations, so he wasn''t surprised at all, as he continued to type on his computer with his head down.


    Seeing that he did not have any reaction, Luo Jie was already used to it, but he could not help but laugh and say: "Furthermore, there''s still an unexpected harvest. Lin Xi''er already knew about the matter regarding the release of the news, I heard that he is making a ruckus in his office right now."


    Hearing how excited Luo Jie sounded, Sheng Liang still did not raise his head, but only said lightly, "How do you think Lin Xi''er knows?


    "Ah, so it''s like that." Luo Jie suddenly realized something, he touched the hair on the back of his head and said, "Master Qi is also someone who likes to watch the show."


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, he heard a sound from inside, and said to Luo Jie: "Don''t worry about it, Lin Xi''er is busy enough, he should not look for trouble with us for the time being. Go and prepare for the night flight to Verona."


    "I know." Luo Jie also heard the sound from inside. He knew it was Qiao Xuan and tactfully closed the door.


    Seeing Luo Jie going out, Sheng Liang closed his notebook and walked inside. Seeing Qiao Xuan lying on the bed, his face flushed red, and the slippers on the floor were kicked into a mess, he walked over and helped Qiao Xuan up, allowing her to sit on the bed. Then, he reached out to unzip the zipper on her back: "Sheng Hua already knows that you entered my room, so we need some facts."


    "Wh ¡­" "What?" Qiao Xuan was shocked, he immediately retreated, but his body was restrained by Sheng Liang, "I didn''t mean to listen to you just now." There was no need for him to take revenge, right?


    However, Sheng Liang completely ignored her explanation, and slowly pushed her hair all the way to her chest, revealing her snow-white shoulders.


    Qiao Xuan only had one hand, but it was still being held tightly by Sheng Liang.


    If her guess was right, then the person who was having a relationship with her in her previous life was Sheng Liang, and that child was also his. Furthermore, after getting along with him for the past few days, she had a good impression of him, but she knew that Sheng Liang did not have those feelings of love in his heart.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang said, and kissed her on the cheek, then followed with her earlobes, "Can you not be so stiff?"


    Qiao Xuan also wished that she could relax a little. She didn''t want him to think that she was pretending to be innocent, but she really couldn''t do it, "I ¡­ "No way."


    "It doesn''t matter, just leave it to me." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan''s tightly clenched palm and his slightly trembling body, and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. Then, he walked to the side of the window and heavily drew the curtains, and gave her a bag from the side.


    Watching Sheng Liang walk outside, then lower his head to look at the bag beside him, and seeing that there was a new dress inside, Qiao Xuan''s brain felt like it was short-circuited for a moment. Only then did he realize that all of his actions just now were deliberately done for the people who were watching them.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head back to look at the closed curtains, laughing at himself.


    Fortunately, as if nothing had happened, Sheng Liang followed up on his project as usual, and then slowly organized his luggage.


    Qiao Xuan changed into a new set of clothes and slowly fell asleep. In the evening, Sheng Liang woke her up, and they went to eat dinner together. Then, they prepared to go to the airport.


    When Sheng Liang left, Mo Lin looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Miss Qiao seems to be afraid of me, do I look like a bad person?"

 C29

    Qiao Xuan really couldn''t remember how he had appeared in his memories, especially since they were so close, and that kind of image was even more blurry. Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I might have recognized the wrong person."


    Mo Lin seemed to want to say something, but Sheng Liang just so happened to come back at the same time. Sheng Liang pulled him to the side and whispered something.


    After the plane took off, Sheng Liang leaned against his seat as if he was asleep. Molin was very far away from their seat, and even when they were waiting for the plane, they had only said a few words to each other, and then did not interact at all as if they did not know each other. Qiao Xuan kept having the feeling that he and Sheng Liang were deliberately hiding their relationship.


    Qiao Xuan could not fall asleep, so he casually flipped through a magazine. Luo Jie who was at the side came over and said softly: "Miss Qiao, actually our family''s Young Master Liang people are very good."


    Qiao Xuan turned and looked at him: "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"


    Luo Jie laughed, "The two of you are in the wrong. I can see it clearly from the side, I think you two are still well-suited for each other.


    It wasn''t that Qiao Xuan had never thought about it before, but she was not in charge of this matter, so she did not dare think about it. Furthermore, what she needed to do the most right now was to work with Sheng Liang to bring Sheng Hua down, if not the tragedy of her previous life would repeat itself.


    When they arrived at Verona, it was already the morning of the second day. Sheng Liang settled Qiao Xuan in and went out with him.


    It was also when they were on the plane that Qiao Xuan found out that Luo Keke saved a boy on the street. However, that boy died after he was sent to the hospital.


    originally thought that this matter would not be too hard to resolve. As long as he found an authority to conduct a medical appraisal, he would be able to find the cause of death. But when Sheng Liang and the others returned, Qiao Xuan found out that the boy''s parents had refused to dissect the child''s corpse.


    "Although I understand their feelings as parents, don''t they want to know the truth?" Luo Jie was very confused.


    Sheng Liang directly sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of water. "It''s not that simple, someone gave them money and told them to do it."


    Luo Jie said in shock: "How could this be, who did Doctor Luo offend?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer, his eyes looking towards a certain direction with his usual indifference.


    This topic was a little heavy. Qiao Xuan did not interrupt and only asked: "Then where is Doctor Luo now?"


    "She''s at the police station. We just went to take a look and she''s not in a good mood. She thinks that she''s the one who killed the child." Luo Jie''s tone was somewhat regretful.


    If it was really as Sheng Liang had said, and someone was behind all of this, then the pressure of public opinion on Luo Keke could be imagined.


    "Is there no way to bail her out?" Qiao Xuan asked.


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "They don''t have bail in their laws."


    Qiao Xuan could not imagine that a girl who was still in that kind of place, with her spirit crumbling, could do nothing about it.


    This place was after all, not part of the Sang City, so even if it was Sheng Liang, he had the heart but no strength.


    "What about Maureen?" He was Luo Keke''s boyfriend, so he should at least think of a way to comfort Luo Keke at a time like this.


    Sheng Liang turned around and looked at Qiao Xuan: "Just pretend you haven''t seen this person before. Also, don''t mention his name to anyone else."


    Qiao Xuan had a lot of questions, but after thinking about it, he swallowed them back.

    He had clearly said that he could give Sheng Hua information about Mo Lin, and now that he thought he had never seen this person, it was fortunate that Qiao Xuan had too many things that happened in the past two days and did not have the time to contact Sheng Hua, otherwise, it would be troublesome.


    Did he think that the reason for Luo Keke''s accident was because of Mo Lin?


    According to the information that Sheng Liang had provided to Qiao Xuan, Mo Lin was just a manager in a securities company. Who would he offend to the point that Luo Keke was framed in Italy?


    Qiao Xuan''s questions did not stop there. She was still searching through the memories of her past life, trying to figure out where she had seen this person before.


    Sheng Liang no longer involved Qiao Xun in the matter of Luo Keke, and when he discussed it with Roger, he avoided Qiao Xun.


    Qiao Xuan was originally a little conflicted, but after thinking about it for a bit, he felt relieved. Luo Keke was originally one sided friend of Sheng Liang, it had nothing to do with her.


    In the end, she was not his person.


    The hotel they were staying at was near the downtown area of Vanilla Square. Qiao Xuan walked along the street alone and didn''t ask anyone about it, but fortunately, she found it. It was an ancient building built in the 13th century.


    Entering through the circular archway, the courtyard was filled with people who were all lining up to touch the right breast of Juliet''s bronze statue. It was said that this way they could obtain good love.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the balcony above. That was the place where Juliet had waited bitterly for Romeo all those years ago.


    She just watched until her phone rang. It was Sheng Liang.


    "Where did you go?" Sheng Liang''s voice was still indifferent, no anxiety or dissatisfaction could be heard.


    Qiao Xuan told her her location, and then asked: "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s nothing. There''s some trouble over at Maureen''s side. I need to go over there. You don''t need to go anywhere else, just wait for me there. I''ll pick you up after I finish my business."


    Sheng Liang would always be at ease, but Qiao Xuan would rather believe that he was afraid that she would lose him.


    He found a place in the yard to sit down. One of her arms was still in a cast, still hanging from the bandages, and she wore a denim jacket over her long skirt, just enough to cover her hand.


    Qiao Xuan never had any concept of time, and the disturbance outside did not have much of an impact on her, so she did not know how long she waited. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, and there were only a few people left in the courtyard, she finally realised that Sheng Liang would not be coming.


    She stood up and was about to head back when a foreign man bumped into her. Subconsciously, she protected her injured hand and dodged to the side.


    He originally thought that that person would walk past her, but he unexpectedly stood in front of her, as if he was drunk. He used some unknown language to laugh at her, but he didn''t let her go.


    In a foreign land, with no language to speak, there was not even a person begging for help. Even if Qiao Xuan was calm, he would still be a little afraid at this time.


    "If you don''t leave, I''ll call the police!" Qiao Xuan took out his phone and shouted in English as he retreated.


    However, that person didn''t seem to understand or was not afraid at all. He continued to move closer to Qiao Xuan until he forced her into a corner.


    Qiao Xuan''s cell phone was knocked to the ground, and the denim jacket that was draped over it was also taken off. Seeing Qiao Xuan''s arm in a cast, the foreigner even revealed an excited expression, talking about something indiscernibly.


    Qiao Xuan could only shout out loud in English for help to the side, but when she turned around, she realised that they were currently in an alley beside Juliet''s previous residence, and could not even see a shadow of a person.

 C31

    Moreover, she had only cried out a few times when the foreigner covered her mouth. He then forcefully tore off the bandage on her arm in an attempt to tie her hands together.


    Qiao Xuan almost fainted from the pain. Instinctively, he opened his mouth and bit the foreigner''s hand until blood was dripping from his teeth.


    The foreigner was angered. He pulled back his hand and slapped his palm towards Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan only felt his vision turning black as he slid down the wall and sat on the ground.


    Seeing that she was no longer able to resist, the foreigners scolded and wanted to go up to take off Qiao Xuan''s clothes.


    Someone patted his shoulder from behind. Just as his head returned halfway, he was sent flying with a punch.


    When Qiao Xuan heard the voice, she gradually recovered her focus. Seeing that Sheng Liang was lecturing that foreigner, her heart slowly calmed down.


    Maybe the police officers patrolling nearby heard the sound and came over. Coincidentally, Sheng Liang caught up with the foreigner and told them something in French.


    Sheng Liang picked up Qiao Xuan''s jacket from the ground and put it back on her body. Then, he looked at her arm and asked, "Are you going to the hospital?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, although the bandage had been torn off, it was fortunate that it did not hurt where it had broken. She supported herself on the wall, and slowly stood up, but because her legs were weak, she almost fell back.


    "I can go by myself." Qiao Xuan said softly, but his heart was beating even faster.


    Sheng Liang chuckled: "I know, but don''t you think that it would be faster like this? I don''t want to wander the streets all night long yet."


    Although it was a joke, Qiao Xuan still said guiltily: "I have brought you trouble again."


    "So, in the future, it''s best not to wander around alone. Right now, we''re being watched. If something happens to you, it''ll be very troublesome for me." Unable to hear Qiao Xuan''s response, Sheng Liang asked again, "Do you understand?"


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan was a little disappointed. Sheng Liang''s businesslike tone made her realize that this man really didn''t have any feelings for her.


    Returning to the hotel, Sheng Liang used a piece of gauze to help Qiao Xuan refix his arm, and also used an ice bag to cover the swollen parts of her face.


    "Thank you, I''m already much better." Qiao Xuan intentionally dodged Sheng Liang''s hand.


    However, Sheng Liang still pressed the ice sack on top of it.


    Qiao Xuan did not speak anymore, and just sat there in a daze.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t seem happy." They were sitting very close to each other in the first place, but when Sheng Liang looked into her eyes, they were even closer now.


    Qiao Xuan deliberately stepped aside again, trying her best to keep a distance from him. However, she had no way to blame Sheng Liang for that, he had never given her that kind of information, even if he said that she could be his woman, it was only in that kind of way.


    Qiao Xuan did not know how to hide her emotions in the first place, so how could her expression escape Sheng Liang''s eyes?


    Sheng Liang did not return her hand, and instead said softly while looking at her: "Don''t like me, Qiao Xuan, I can''t give you what you want."


    Now that her thoughts had been exposed, Qiao Xuan felt ashamed, she could not admit it, and could not refute it. But since she had already revealed it, she was not willing to say anything, so she raised her head and asked him: "Why?"

 C32

    Sheng Liang was silent for a long time, before he looked her in the eye with a bitter smile: "I am a person without a tomorrow. What I have done, makes it so that I can die at any time, moreover, I am not a good person."


    After saying that last sentence, Sheng Liang actually smiled, but it was not in the depths of his eyes. Qiao Xuan could even see his helplessness and decisiveness from this smile.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what to say. Even though she had a good impression of him, she had not reached the point of life and death together. Giving him a casual promise was also not her style.


    "I know." Qiao Xuan said indifferently, showing his agreement.


    Sheng Liang nodded her head and retrieved the ice bag. Seeing that her face was no longer swollen, she stood up and said: "After this matter is concluded, other than the one we have previously agreed upon, you can raise one more condition for me. As long as I can do it, I will spare no effort."


    For the indifferent Sheng Liang, this was already considered a rare opportunity. Qiao Xuan was not a greedy person, she thanked him once again.


    Even though they were in the same room, Sheng Liang had always been sleeping on the sofa outside. Furthermore, ever since he had arrived, he had been busy all the way until very late into the night.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up in the middle of the night, he saw that there was still light outside. She walked over and saw that Sheng Liang had fallen asleep on the sofa.


    Qiao Xuan gently moved his notebook away and pulled a blanket to cover his body. His forehead was tightly furrowed, as if he was in a dream and couldn''t stretch his body.


    Qiao Xuan just looked at him like that, and couldn''t shift her gaze away for a long time. When she thought about what he had said, she unconsciously felt even more sorry for him.


    Qiao Xuan grew up in a family full of love. Even though she wasn''t that rich, they helped each other out and never needed to be on guard against anything. Thus, she didn''t quite understand Sheng Liang''s precautions and caution.


    But from the day that she had awoken in this life, she had seen too many people from the Sheng Family squeeze out and frame him. Even though they were far away from the Sang City, they still could not escape their killing intent and surveillance.


    She was becoming more and more aware that she had only wanted to work with him in the past, to each take what they needed, but now that was not the case. She truly wanted to help him.


    "Why aren''t you sleeping?" Sheng Liang opened his eyes and sat up from the sofa.


    Qiao Xuan did not expect Sheng Liang to wake up, and he was shocked. He immediately stood up with a flustered expression, "I ¡­ I''m a little thirsty, so I''d like to pour myself a glass of water. "


    Seeing Qiao Xuan frantically go to pour the water, but one of his hands were inconvenient, so he almost broke the cup, Sheng Liang walked over and said: "Let me do it."


    Actually, he had been awake since the moment Qiao Xuan came out. Many years of vigilance had trained him to be vigilant, so even when he slept, if there was even the slightest noise, he would quickly wake up.


    At that time, he thought Qiao Xuan wanted to see the things on his computer so he didn''t open his eyes. He didn''t expect her to just squat on the ground and look at him blankly.


    This woman couldn''t have really fallen in love with him, right?


    Sheng Liang handed the cup over to Qiao Xuan and saw that her face was flushed. He subconsciously reached for her forehead: "Are you having a fever?


    Sheng Liang''s sudden action gave Qiao Xuan a fright, and he anxiously retreated: "I''m fine, go to sleep. Sorry to disturb you."


    Seeing her put down the cup of water and run away in a fluster, a hint of warmth slowly emerged in Sheng Liang''s usually indifferent eyes.

 C33

    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was woken up by the sound of someone talking. She heard a man''s voice saying, "So what if I''m sleeping here? I haven''t slept for a few days already, I''ll sleep here with you.


    This voice seemed to belong to that Mo Lin?


    Seeing Mo Lin rush in, Sheng Liang blocked the entrance of the cubicle. "I''ll get Luo Jie to find you another room to sleep in, you know, I''m not used to other people being in my room."


    Just as Mo Lin wanted to say something, he saw Qiao Xuan coming out of his pajamas. He was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly smiled and understood, "Ol ''Three, you''re really good.


    Qiao Xuan did not know what happened, but looking at Sheng Liang''s frowning appearance, it seemed that she came at the wrong time: "What happened?"


    "Nothing, just change. Let''s go down for breakfast." Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not move, Sheng Liang added, "If it''s inconvenient for you, I can help you."


    Qiao Xuan looked down at his pajamas. He finally understood what he meant and his face blushed again. "No need, I can do it myself."


    When they were going down to eat, Qiao Xuan thought about what happened just now and subconsciously said, "I''ve always felt that Mo Lin was very fierce, but when he spoke to you, he didn''t seem to be so."


    Earlier, Qiao Xuan must have thought that everyone around him knew that it was fake, so she did not feel awkward at all. But the truth was that Mo Lin did not know, just that Sheng Liang did not plan to explain to Qiao Xuan that she was a simple-minded person, knowing too much was not a good thing.


    "He''s just a bit impatient. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have gone alone to threaten the boy''s parents." Sheng Liang helped Qiao Xuan tear the bread roll into small pieces and pushed them into a plate for her. He even carefully tested the temperature of the milk.


    Because Qiao Xuan was shocked by Sheng Liang''s words, he did not notice his movements: "He went to find the boy''s parents? "And then?"


    "There was no ''next'' and it was obvious that it wouldn''t succeed, but," Sheng Liang paused for a moment before continuing, "Someone had spread a video on the Internet, which could prove that there was no problem with Luo Keke''s treatment at that time."


    Since he had the evidence, then Luo Keke should be fine, but looking at Sheng Liang''s expression, the matter was not so simple, but Qiao Xuan knew that it was their business so he did not ask.


    Luo Keke had indeed been released, but she was in a really bad state. When Qiao Xuan saw her, he was in Mo Lin''s room.


    He only patted her back from time to time. Even though his expression could not be seen, the way he lowered his head and kissed her forehead was such a doting action that Qiao Xuan could not help but feel a little envious.


    If there was a man that could guard her like this when she was at her weakest, she would definitely not hesitate to be with him. However, it seemed like she wasn''t that lucky.


    Qiao Xuan quietly came out of their room and carefully closed the door. She turned around and saw Sheng Liang behind her, and in that instant, she had the urge to hug him, but in the end she resisted.


    "Maureen is inside." Originally, Sheng Liang wanted her to go and comfort him. Since Mo Lin was here, she shouldn''t be needed.


    Sheng Liang nodded his head: "En, I''m fine, you can go rest."

 C34

    Perhaps it was because of the scene she saw just now that caused Qiao Xuan to unconsciously think about her and Sheng Liang, but she knew that it was impossible for that to happen.


    Returning to her room, Qiao Xuan leaned on the door and sighed. In her previous life, she was only concerned with her work and did not think about such things, so she did not have any worries about it.


    "You look like you''re really troubled. Is there anything I can help you with?"


    Qiao Xuan suddenly heard this voice, and when he raised his head, he saw Sheng Qian leaning on the Floating Window, holding onto a glass of red wine.


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but think of Sheng Liang at this scene, it was just that the two of them were too different.


    "The fourth master of Sheng Family has nothing else to do, he actually started to be a puppy." That night, when he was sitting there, the indifference in his eyes made Qiao Xuan''s heart ache even more whenever he thought about it. She tried her best not to think about him, but her heart became even more agitated as she spoke to Sheng Qian in a rather heavy tone.


    Sheng Qian looked at her, stretched out his long legs, and got down from the floating window. He walked in front of her and brought a beautiful face close to her: "Since you''re so angry, it seems like my third brother''s performance isn''t enough."


    Initially, Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant, but looking at his mischievous smile, he had a rough idea: "It has nothing to do with you."


    "It originally had nothing to do with me, but after I left last time, I found out that I seemed to like you. What do I do? I, as a person, must get what I like, and people are the same as well." Sheng Qian got closer and closer, until he was almost upon her, and his tone was extremely ambiguous.


    Qiao Xuan never thought that Sheng Qian would be so troublesome to deal with. She was anxious and angry, and reached out to push him away, but was instead held by the waist by Sheng Qian, and said anxiously: "What are you doing, please have some self-respect!"


    "How am I overestimating myself? Aren''t you still my sister-in-law now? I''m not married, you''re not married, and I''m chasing after you. That''s reasonable and legal." Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan innocently. Seeing her so angry that her face flushed red, he smiled even more seductively, "Even if you became my sister-in-law, it''s not like there are no precedents where you hooked up with my brother-in-law and committed adultery. For example, you and my Third Bro."


    "Sheng Liang and I are not like you!" Qiao Xuan was enraged, and blurted out.


    Sheng Qian looked at her closely: "What''s that?"


    Facing his aggressive gaze, Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that she had been tricked by him again. She slowly calmed down and said slowly: "I got to know Sheng Liang earlier than him."


    "You''re saying that my big brother is the third party, that you and third brother teamed up to make trouble for my big brother, and then suddenly broke off the engagement right before the engagement ceremony. Are you planning on making our Sheng Family lose face?" Sheng Qian stared at Qiao Xuan with his pair of long and narrow eyes, as if he was poisoned.


    Qiao Xuan unknowingly swallowed her saliva. She just wanted to find a random reason to divert Sheng Qian''s attention, she never thought that he would actually play word trap with her, making it hard for her to advance or retreat.


    In terms of deceit, she really wasn''t his match.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was unsure of what to do, the door opened, and Sheng Liang walked in. Seeing Sheng Qian, he was not surprised at all, and only said to Qiao Xuan: "Go to the dining hall downstairs and buy me a cup of coffee."

 C35

    Qiao Xuan understood that Sheng Liang had given her a way out, so she immediately pushed Sheng Qian away and hurried outside.


    Closing the door, Sheng Qian looked at Sheng Liang with an unfathomable smile: "Third brother, you couldn''t have truly fallen for her since you were in such a hurry to protect her, right?"


    Sheng Liang walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, flipping through a magazine on the tea table. He said nonchalantly: "How is that possible, with my identity, it''s impossible for me to obtain the right to inherit the Sheng Family. However, snatching his woman away can be considered letting out a breath of relief."


    Sheng Qian laughed, walked over and sat beside Sheng Liang, then patted his shoulders and said: "But Qiao Xuan seems to really like you, just now, she did everything she could to cover for you."


    "If you want, I''ll give it to you." Sheng Liang didn''t even raise his head as he spoke with an indifferent tone.


    Outside, Qiao Xuan clenched her fists and bit down on her lower lip until it turned white. Sheng Liang''s disdainful words simply caused her heart to be riddled with holes.


    She didn''t want to hear their conversation, she merely closed the door and heard Sheng Qian''s question before she even left. She was curious to hear Sheng Liang''s answer, but she didn''t think that he would actually say such things to her.


    Although she had always known that Sheng Liang wouldn''t fall in love with her, she at least thought that he would treat her as a friend.


    "Miss Qiao, why are you not entering from the door?" Luo Jie walked over from the corridor, and asked puzzledly.


    Qiao Xuan''s shoulders trembled slightly, and then he turned around and ran away.


    After Sheng Liang heard this, his eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.


    Sheng Qian laughed, then looked at Sheng Liang and said: "This is bad, when that foolish woman heard you say that, she wondered if she would be so heartbroken that she would do such a foolish thing."


    "Since you''re so worried, you might as well chase after him and take a look." Sheng Liang''s face still did not show any expression.


    Sheng Qian felt a little defeated, he lazily stood up and tidied up his suit: "Alright, who asked me to be soft-hearted, I will reluctantly accept her for you. Although my demands towards women are quite high, but I have never tasted this kind of elite girl before, I don''t know how they taste like."


    Seeing Sheng Qian walk out of the door proudly, Sheng Liang slowly held his palm up.


    Luo Jie watched Sheng Qian''s back as he walked in and asked Sheng Liang, "What happened, why are Miss Qiao and Fourth Young Master ¡ª"


    Before Luo Jie even finished speaking, Sheng Liang had already said to him: "Follow Sheng Qian and see what he wants to do."


    Luo Jie did not understand what Sheng Liang meant. Shouldn''t he be watching Qiao Xuan right now, why would he follow Sheng Qian? But seeing that Sheng Liang''s expression was bad, he did not dare to ask, and immediately ran out.


    Qiao Xuan ran out of the hotel, but did not know where she could go. Although she was sad, she did not lose her reason.


    She walked to the side of the hotel and sat on a rock. Thinking about what Sheng Liang had just said, she couldn''t help but feel sad.


    She had already decided to bury her feelings for him deep in her heart. As long as she silently looked at him, it would be fine. But even such a simple wish had been shattered. How would she face him in the future?


    "Third brother, it''s really you. Why are you so unromantic? You treated him so well, but he actually said those kinds of words. It''s really too much." Sheng Qian looked to be filled with righteous indignation, he sat beside Qiao Xuan and patted his shoulder, "If you are sad, I will lend you my shoulder."


    Qiao Xuan was not in the mood to deal with him right now. She turned her face away and ignored him.

 C36

    Sheng Qian was not annoyed, he raised his head and looked up into the sky, pulling Qiao Xuan up and said: What are you doing here, sit in the sun, come, let''s go to a place.


    Qiao Xuan wanted to reject him, but unfortunately, he was strong, and right now, no matter where he went, he was fine. She just wanted to leave.


    But she did not expect Sheng Qian to bring her to a bar. The former Qiao Xuan had never stepped foot in such a place, she turned her head and was about to leave, but she was held back by Sheng Qian: "Didn''t you hear about using alcohol to ease your worries?


    How could something like this be alright just by sleeping, but she didn''t even have time to refute him before Sheng Qian had already dragged her inside, and pushed her down onto the sofa.


    Sheng Qian''s French was also very skilled, and he was even agilely teasing the female attendant. When he turned around and saw the look of disdain on Qiao Xuan''s face, he smiled until his eyes narrowed, "What, are you jealous?"


    No wonder, she had nothing to do with him!


    Qiao Xuan did not speak, nor did she look at him.


    Sheng Qian ordered a cocktail for Qiao Xuan. He said that it was called the Tequila Sunrise, and the strong aroma of tequila within the wine reminded people of the morning mist in Mexico.


    You''re in a bad mood," he said, "and I''ll send you a song.


    Qiao Xuan had yet to recover from the coughing from the wine, but he had already walked up the stage and whispered a few words into the ears of the band in the bar. Then, he took the guitar and sat on the high chair, playing and singing an Italian song.


    Although Qiao Xuan couldn''t understand the lyrics, the beautiful and romantic melody still attracted her attention. She slowly stopped coughing and looked at Sheng Qian while drinking her wine unknowingly.


    Very quickly, she became a little dizzy, and Sheng Qian''s figures seemed to have increased by a few, but she still listened to his singing very seriously. Sheng Qian''s voice was really pleasant to hear.


    When the song ended, Sheng Qian walked down and saw Qiao Xuan''s head leaning on the sofa, his eyes blurred and he lost the focus of his gaze, "Drunk from just a cup of wine, looks like you''ve never been to this place before."


    I''m not drunk. I can still drink." Seeing that she was about to drink her wine, Qiao Hua immediately grabbed it and gulped it down before coughing.


    Sheng Qian squinted his eyes, with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Do you know what wine this is?


    Qiao Xuan didn''t hear what Sheng Qian was saying at all. She only felt very uncomfortable, as if her stomach was overturning. She pulled on Sheng Qian''s clothes and subconsciously rubbed them on his body, "I want to puke ¡­"


    Due to drinking the alcohol, Qiao Xuan''s face was now completely red, and her black hair flowed down her shoulders, making her skin seem like congealed oil.


    Especially those small and delicate lips, which were currently as red as a cherry. Sheng Qian just stared at her for a while, then suddenly hugged her: "You asked for it, don''t blame me."


    Sheng Qian carried her out of the bar and into the car, then drove to another hotel.


    Luo Jie had been following Sheng Qian the entire time, so he had clearly seen what happened between him and Qiao Xuan at the bar, until he saw Sheng Qian carrying the drunk Qiao Xuan onto the carriage. Luo Jie knew that the situation was not good and hurriedly called Sheng Liang.

 C37

    Seeing Sheng Qian bringing Qiao Xuan to the hotel, even getting a room, and carrying Qiao Xuan all the way to his room, Luo Jie became anxious. He whispered into the phone, "Young Master Liang, what do we do? Should I go in and stop them? "


    "Don''t do anything. You can come back now." Sheng Liang said lightly.


    "What?" Luo Jie cried out in disbelief, he immediately covered his mouth and said with a low voice, "But Miss Qiao ¡­"


    After Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang came to Europe, Luo Jie truly wished for them to be together. Qiao Xuan was different from the other girls outside, she was simple and independent, and was also the company''s chief financial officer. She was completely compatible with Sheng Liang.


    But Sheng Liang didn''t seem to have that intention towards Qiao Xuan, even though he clearly knew what Sheng Qian was going to do to Qiao Xuan, he remained indifferent, and before Luo Jie could finish, he had already hung up.


    Luo Jie hid in the corner and glanced at the door of the room. He sighed helplessly and turned to leave.


    "Fourth Young Master, Luo Jie has left." Someone reported to Sheng Qian on the phone.


    The corner of Sheng Qian''s mouth curved slightly upwards. Looking at the unconscious Qiao Xuan lying on the bed, he said softly, "I understand."


    He walked to the side of the bed and slowly sat down. His long fingers caressed Qiao Xuan''s face as he smiled sinisterly and dangerously: "Looks like he really doesn''t care about you. If you knew earlier, you wouldn''t have trusted him.


    However, Qiao Xuan who was lying on the bed was already unconscious, and had no idea about it at all. Just that when he turned his head, there was a sparkling and translucent drop of liquid flowing down from the corner of his eyes.


    When Sheng Qian saw this scene, the smile on his face gradually faded, as if something in his heart had been moved.


    The phone rang again. He picked it up and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    "Fourth young master, the madam and old master are quarreling. They are quarreling very fiercely. Please come back quickly." The Sheng Family maid said anxiously.


    Sheng Qian rubbed between his brows: "What''s the reason this time?"


    "I don''t know where the madam heard it from, but she said that the old master has an illegitimate child outside, the two of them are quarreling with each other."


    Sheng Qian''s finger stopped, he knew that this matter was definitely not that simple, and said solemnly: "I understand, I will return immediately."


    Even though he could not guess who spread the news behind the scenes, he did not believe in this kind of thing. Sheng Haotian had three wives that were not fake, but they were all officially married into the same family. He would never randomly start a relationship between a man and a woman outside, even Sheng Liang''s mother would only do that kind of thing if she was framed by others.


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan again, at that instant where his heart was thumping hard, he did not believe that there was someone who could truly move his heart, despite him having so many women.


    "Little Mu, send her back. Also, ask the front desk to book a plane ticket for Sang City back for me." Sheng Qian walked out and said to the people outside.


    Seeing Xiao Mu nod and leave, Sheng Qian suddenly thought of something. The person who spread the news, could it be Sheng Liang?


    This matter seemed to be causing all sorts of chaos within the Sheng Family, but in reality, it had been the first time Qiao Xuan had escaped danger. Moreover, it had been for him to take the initiative to send Qiao Xuan back.


    If that was really what he thought, then his third brother really wasn''t a simple character.


    However, even if that was the case, he had to return immediately. His mother was not that smart to think that this was a scheme by someone else. If he was late, he would really become someone else''s chess piece.

 C38

    Xiao Mu drove to the entrance of Sheng Liang''s hotel, and then went in to find out Sheng Liang''s room number. Unfortunately, he was a mute and could not speak nor understand the local language, so when he was feeling anxious, he saw Sheng Liang in the hall, and immediately walked over.


    Sheng Liang naturally recognized the people around Sheng Qian, and he also clearly understood why he was here. Everything was still under his control.


    Sheng Liang followed Xiao Mu to the car, and saw Qiao Xuan curled up in the back seat. Her alcohol still wasn''t awake, and her face was still flushed red, which made her, who had always been strong, look a little more charming.


    Sheng Liang opened the car door and reached out to carry her out. Qiao Xuan moaned and crawled into his embrace, as if she was greedy for the temperature of his body.


    Afraid that he would touch her injured hand, Sheng Liang didn''t dare to hold it too tightly, but seeing her at ease in his embrace with his head lowered, Sheng Liang felt a never before felt satisfaction in his heart.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. Before he even opened his eyes, he felt a splitting headache.


    "Don''t drink anymore, it''s not good for your health." Sheng Liang handed over a cup of water.


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s voice, Qiao Xuan suddenly sat up, he got up too quickly, and almost fell on the bed from dizziness, luckily Sheng Liang was there to support her.


    Qiao Xuan blocked his hand and accepted the cup of water. "Thank you."


    Regarding what happened yesterday, Qiao Xuan still had a bit of an impression, especially of the things that Sheng Liang had said, which she was still unable to accept right now.


    Just that, she clearly remembered that she was drinking wine with Sheng Qian, so how did she come back here?


    Was it Sheng Qian who brought her back, or was it Sheng Liang who brought her back?


    Although she had already heard those heartless words, Qiao Xuan still held onto such fantasies that even she herself was laughing at her own naivety.


    Sheng Liang saw that she was being distant, but did not say anything. Although those words were just for Sheng Qian''s ears, he did not expect that Qiao Xuan would be outside, but, since she had heard it, it was good.


    "You''re welcome." Sheng Liang retracted his hands and looked at Qiao Xuan with his hands in his pockets. "The matter with Keke has been resolved, we will be leaving this place tomorrow.


    Qiao Xuan took a sip of water and held the cup in his hand. Without raising his eyes, he laughed bitterly: "Do I have the right to choose?"


    It seemed that since the day she was reborn, she had always been led by his nose, and everything was arranged by him.


    "Of course," Sheng Liang could tell that she was feeling depressed, even though he had indeed made all the preparations, he still asked, "Where do you want to go?"


    "I want to go back, it''s Qiao Nan''s birthday in two days, I want to stay with my family." Qiao Xuan was somewhat angry in her heart, but she also really wanted to regain her Sang City. After her rebirth, she hadn''t even met her family once.


    Sheng Liang was startled, his answer was unexpected, but at the moment, he knew he could not force her, or else it would be counterproductive.


    "Alright, let''s go back." Sheng Liang said lightly after hesitating for a moment.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Sheng Liang in disbelief: "Are you for real?"


    Sheng Liang only laughed, and turned to walk out: "I''ll ask Luo Jie to book a plane ticket."


    Qiao Xuan watched him disappear at the door for a long time without being able to recover.


    Originally, she was only casually saying it, she knew that it was impossible for Sheng Liang to change his plans because of her, but she didn''t expect him to agree so easily.


    What was he thinking?

 C39

    Luo Keke came over during dinner time. She looked a lot better, wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a ponytail like a female university student.


    "I heard that you guys are returning home tomorrow." Luo Keke sat opposite of Qiao Xuan, and turned to look at Sheng Liang who was making a call.


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "En, aren''t you going back?"


    Speaking of which, she hadn''t seen Mo Lin in the past two days, but that person was always mysterious. Sheng Liang had also said that it would be inconvenient for her to appear by their side since she acted as if she hadn''t seen him.


    Luo Keke laughed, "Let''s go back in a few days."


    Although Luo Keke''s face was still haggard, it was hard to hide the sweetness in his heart. Qiao Xuan looked at her and subconsciously said: "I really envy you, your boyfriend is really good to you."


    Luo Keke was stunned for a moment, and then, he unconsciously looked in Sheng Liang''s direction: "Did you fall for A Liang? Then you have to work hard, he knows everything, but he sees through everything too thoroughly, so he doesn''t believe in anything good. But if you can warm his heart, he will trust you at all costs to protect you. "


    Qiao Xuan also looked at Sheng Liang. She did not deny that she liked Luo Keke in front of him, and she also believed what Luo Keke had said. However, she did not have the confidence to become the woman who would affect Sheng Liang.


    "Thank you, but it''s impossible for him and me." Qiao Xuan smiled politely and did not look at anyone else.


    Luo Keke was a little surprised by Qiao Xuan''s rationality and decisiveness. Maybe it was because she was a financial person, but she had less feelings than the other women.


    However, everyone had their own way of life, and she had no right to interfere, only to bless.


    When they were going to the airport, only Luo Keke went to send them off. She hugged Qiao Xuan, then hugged Sheng Liang, and whispered into his ear: "I think she''s not bad, don''t you think about it?"


    Sheng Liang saw the lonely expression in the noisy airport lobby, where Qiao Xuan was looking in this direction. He naturally understood that Luo Keke was hugging him intentionally for Qiao Xuan''s sake, and said indifferently: "You let them fall into your arms on a whim, and I have no way to take responsibility for it. Isn''t that too immoral?"


    Luo Keke immediately let go of him, and ruthlessly waited for him. "You, truly deserve to live a lonely life and die of old age."


    Sheng Liang''s gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Qiao Xuan, who had already turned his gaze away. She was very good, but it was a pity that he didn''t deserve it, he deserved to be alone until he died of old. No, maybe he simply couldn''t wait to die, so he didn''t want to harm her.


    After flying for around 10 hours, they finally landed on Sang City, and the driver at home came to pick them up. Luo Jie looked at Qiao Xuan and tactfully said: "I will take a taxi back myself, Young Master Liang, Miss Qiao, goodbye."


    Qiao Xuan just nodded politely. Seeing that the driver had closed the car door, she leaned on the window and looked outside. Maybe because she was too tired, she actually fell asleep.


    When she woke up, she found that she was already sleeping on a bed in one of the rooms. When she reacted, she knew that this was Sheng Liang''s villa.


    Wearing slippers downstairs, he didn''t see Sheng Liang, the huge house was empty.


    Her bag was on the sofa, Qiao Xuan walked over, took out his phone and tried to call Qiao Nan. There was still a busy tone, but no one picked up.

 C40

    She was a little worried and hesitated for a moment before calling Sheng Liang: "Where are you, I want to ask you, why is Qiao Nan''s phone unanswered?"


    Because he was nervous, Qiao Xuan''s tone was not very good, and carried some interrogation.


    She didn''t check if her family was really safe and on both occasions, it was Qiao Nan who called her, but who could guarantee that it wasn''t Qiao Nan who only pretended to be fine when she was threatened?


    Sheng Liang remained silent for a while before replying, "They are very safe."


    With just these few words, and without even a single explanation, Qiao Xuan coldly laughed and said: "On what basis should I believe you? I must see them now, if not, I will stop my cooperation with you!"


    After a long while, Sheng Liang finally said calmly, "Qiao Xuan, if I really want to do something, do you think you can stop me?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, as she suddenly realized something. She thought that compared to her parents'' safety, the so-called weakness of Sheng Liang, was not even worth mentioning. In truth, from beginning to end, Sheng Liang was the only one who could control her.


    Her palms continuously tightened, and her nails almost dug into her flesh. Her lips trembled twice, and she said with a trembling voice, "I only want them to be safe, Sheng Liang, I can listen to anything you say ¡­"


    When Sheng Liang heard her teary voice, he did not give her a reply, and directly hung up.


    Luo Jie turned his head in the front and looked at Sheng Liang, then carefully said: "Young Master Liang, in fact, you can tell Miss Qiao that we are rushing to the new meeting city, and will see her family soon, so she does not need to be so worried. Also, we are protecting her family''s safety, not threatening her, she cannot misunderstand you."


    "You talk too much." Sheng Liang''s body shrunk back into the carriage and he closed his eyes.


    Luo Jie curled his lips helplessly, looking at the sky outside, the sky was about to turn dark.


    The New Meet City and Sang City were neighbors, and was a city famous for its farming. From the moment they entered the city, they could see all sorts of vegetation, and flowers of all colors bloomed on both sides of the road.


    Back then, they had chosen this place because Sheng Hua was allergic to pollen. As long as he didn''t come personally, they would have a way to take care of everyone else.


    The car stopped in front of a house, and the driver waited outside. Luo Jie followed Sheng Liang inside.


    A warm light shone through the window, illuminating the courtyard like a soft moonlight.


    Sheng Liang walked to the door and smelled the fragrance of food inside. He could also hear Qiao Nan''s laughter, which was making fun of the Qiao family''s parents.


    Luo Jie lightly knocked on the door. It was Qiao Xuan''s mother who opened the door, and when she saw Sheng Liang, she was a little surprised: "You''ve returned, then where''s Little Jun, is she alright?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "Let''s go in first."


    Sheng Liang''s expression and words made the Qiao family''s mother unconsciously tensed up. She placed one hand on her chest, and stiffly moved her body a little distance away.


    Seeing her expression, Luo Jie couldn''t help but laugh: "Miss Qiao is fine. We just returned home, and she''s resting at home. She said that it will be Qiao Nan''s birthday in two days, so we Young Master Liang came over to make the arrangements in advance."


    When the Qiao¡¯s mother heard Luo Jie, he calmed down and smiled as he welcomed them inside. He even shouted out towards the inside, "Old man, Xiao Nan, quickly look who''s here!"


    They were eating, and when they saw Sheng Liang, they immediately stood up, especially Qiao Nan, who came over and pulled his arm and said: "Brother-in-law, you still haven''t eaten, quickly sit down, it''s normal at home, don''t look down on me."

 C41

    In comparison to Qiao Nan''s enthusiasm, the usually indifferent Sheng Liang seemed somewhat out of place. He lowered his head to look at the hand grabbing onto his arm, and his pale white face became even more emotionless.


    When Qiao¡¯s father saw this, he immediately shouted at Qiao Nan: "Xiao Nan, what nonsense are you spouting!"


    Seeing his father look at him, Qiao Nan reacted, she immediately let go of Sheng Liang and retreated a step, her attitude becoming more polite: "Mr. Qiao, please sit."


    Initially, Sheng Liang did not intend to look down on them. He was just a little unaccustomed to it, he knew that they had misunderstood him, and did not explain. Instead, he said lightly: "No, I will leave quickly.


    Luo Jie could tell that the Qiao Family members liked Sheng Liang, but their Young Master Liang was too aloof and was not good at expressing his thoughts. Even though he knew that he had been misunderstood, he still allowed others to misunderstand him.


    However, he knew that there were some things that he could not overrule.


    He coughed lightly and walked over, telling the Qiao father and son about the arrangements for Qiao Nan''s birthday.


    In fact, at this time, it was not suitable for them to go out, but it was not easy to get this chance. Sheng Liang did not want to disappoint Qiao Xuan, so other than eating at a hotel, he also arranged for them to go to the theme park.


    Although it sounded simple, but to ensure their safety outside, there were too many preparations to make inside. Luo Jie sighed to himself, he had already done this for Qiao Xuan, but his family''s Young Master Liang was actually unwilling to admit that he was kind to Qiao Xuan.


    [The king really doesn''t want to kill the eunuchs in a hurry!]


    They got out of the car. Luo Jie saw Qiao Xuan sitting on the stairs outside, seemingly waiting for Sheng Liang to return. He said in pleasant surprise: "Young Master Liang, Miss Qiao is waiting for you."


    Sheng Liang knew that that was not the case, he was just worried about his family, and wanted to negotiate conditions with him.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang did not say anything and just walked in, Luo Jie quickly said to Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, Young Master Liang has not eaten yet."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, and immediately followed behind Sheng Liang, and asked in a fawning tone: "I''ll cook whatever you want to eat."


    "No need, I''m not hungry," Sheng Liang''s voice was light, and he did not look at Qiao Xuan, "Oh right, on Qiao Nan''s birthday the day after tomorrow, I will get Luo Jie to send you there."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, then she suddenly understood, Sheng Liang''s words meant that his family was safe.


    "Sheng Liang ¡ª" When Qiao Xuan wanted to say something to Sheng Liang, he saw that Sheng Liang had already gone upstairs.


    Qiao Xuan stood where he was, watching his back. Just now, when he walked past her, his body seemed to be filled with the coldness of the night wind, adding the matter of Qiao Nan''s birthday, could it be that he had not been there when she woke up, and had gone to see her family?


    Didn''t she really misunderstand him?


    Qiao Xuan cooked some porridge in the kitchen and brought it upstairs, softly calling his name at his door.


    Sheng Liang opened the door and saw her holding the porridge in one hand. It should be very hot and she was almost unable to hold it.


    Seeing that he was about to close the door, Qiao Xuan quickly said: "Can I go in, I have something to tell you."


    Sheng Liang hesitated, but in the end, he still let her in.


    "If you want to say sorry, then forget it. What I have done is only for my own benefit and not for other emotions." Sheng Liang placed the bowl on the table and started tapping on his computer again.

 C42

    "I know, but I still have to apologize. I shouldn''t have doubted your sincerity." She now understood that Sheng Liang was still willing to do all this for her, simply because she still had a little value in being useful, but compared to the safety of her family, it was nothing at all. As long as Sheng Liang went back on his words, she would be the one to suffer.


    Sheng Liang still did not raise his head, but casually said: "It''s good that you know it."


    As if he had nothing else to say, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Qiao Xuan thought for a moment and asked: "I''ll be going to work tomorrow, do you have anything to say?"


    "No, just do it yourself." Sheng Liang''s gaze did not leave the computer, and the words that came out sounded like nothing.


    With nothing else to say, Qiao Xuan tactfully said: "Go ahead, I''m going out."


    When Qiao Xuan went back to his room to pack his luggage, she saw the painting that was drenched in water, but she still managed to find it. Although the paint had already been used beyond recognition, it could still be considered a gift from Sheng Liang.


    She carefully unfolded it and looked at it, then slowly put it away again and placed it at the back of the bookshelf.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan woke up early to prepare breakfast. In the past, when Sheng Liang was alone, she usually went to the company to eat. When she came, she stored some things in the refrigerator, but she was not at home during these few days.


    When Sheng Liang ate, she was always extremely elegant, and Qiao Xuan always unconsciously drew her gaze. Seeing Sheng Liang raise his head, she hurriedly turned her head away.


    Sheng Liang wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up to look at Qiao Xuan: "Do you want to come with me?"


    "Yes." The atmosphere was unavoidably awkward, but Qiao Xuan did not want to show off. This was a villa complex, where he could not get a taxi.


    Moreover, no matter what they did in private, in front of others, they still had to pretend to be intimate with each other.


    When they arrived at the company''s car park, Sheng Liang had just parked his car and the two of them were just about to get in, Sheng Hua walked over and looked at Sheng Liang with a gentle smile on his face: "I just got back yesterday, don''t you need to rest for two days before going to work? You''re not well, you don''t need to work so hard."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart tightened. Was Sheng Hua trying to test him on purpose, or had he already confirmed something?


    However, Sheng Liang just lightly said, "Just a little cold, I''ve been well for a long time, thank you brother for your concern."


    "That''s good." Sheng Hua laughed, his gaze turned to Qiao Xuan as he asked while looking at her arm, "Qiao Qiao, what happened to your hand?"


    Qiao Xuan did not believe that he did not arrange those people. She looked at Sheng Liang and saw that his eyes were slightly heavy, so she could only bear with it and said: "It''s nothing, I accidentally bumped into him."


    "Then pay attention. If you can''t take it, remember to tell them."


    Sheng Hua''s fake face that was filled with righteousness really made Qiao Xuan feel cold. She interrupted him and said, "If there''s nothing else, we''ll be going up first."


    "Wait," Sheng Hua immediately called out, "I really do have something to talk to you about, the last time you crossed paths with Little Zhou, there were some issues with the reports, later you can come to my office, we can discuss on what to do."


    Using such a high profile reason, even Sheng Liang would not be able to reject it. Qiao Xuan could only nod his head: "I understand."


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that Sheng Hua definitely wanted her to leave again, or something like that.

 C43

    However, what surprised her was that Sheng Hua did not even mention anything about Sheng Liang. After finishing his work, he took out a beautifully wrapped box from his drawer and passed it to her. "When we went to Su Zhou two days ago, and saw that this silk handkerchief was very pretty, I gave it to you."


    "I appreciate your kind intentions, but I can''t take the things that you said. I don''t want Sheng Liang to misunderstand." Procrastination had never been her style. She did not want to get involved with Sheng Hua, so she could only use Sheng Liang as a shield.


    Sheng Hua was neither anxious nor annoyed, he took out the silk handkerchief from the box and tied it for Qiao Xuan: "We are all adults, whoever you like should be made clear, furthermore, it doesn''t matter if you are my wife or my sister-in-law, we are all family, as big brother, I will give you a present, what about it, take it."


    When Qiao Xuan noticed his movements, she had originally wanted to retreat, but his movements were quick, and he had only helped her tie the knot in a very gentlemanly manner. There were no unnecessary movements, so she did not hide: "Thank you, I''ll leave first if there''s nothing else."


    Sheng Hua did not stop her, nodded and smiled: "Alright."


    Although Qiao Xuan knew that he did not have good intentions, he was still unable to guess what reason he had.


    Coming out from Sheng Hua''s office, Qiao Xuan lowered his head and started thinking. Unprepared to face the person who walked over, he suddenly slapped her across the face, "You coquettish fox, while sleeping with Sheng Liang, you''re also seducing Sheng Hua. Are you so lacking in men!?"


    It happened so suddenly that Qiao Xuan did not even have time to react. She raised her head to look at the woman with the heavy makeup, and unknowingly asked: "Who are you, keep your mouth shut!"


    The woman sneered, "Oh, you''ve done such a shameless thing yourself. You think my words are dirty? Why don''t you see how dirty your body is!"


    Qiao Xuan had never been humiliated like this, especially when the people around her were all pointing and pointing at her, she coldly said: "You better apologize to me now, otherwise I''ll call the police right now, and I''ll sue you for violating my reputation."


    "Go ahead, I''m afraid of you." The woman raised her head and looked at Qiao Xuan arrogantly as she laughed.


    Qiao Xuan took out his phone, and just as he was about to call the police, Sheng Hua came out of his office. Looking at the scene in front of him, he frowned, then walked to the woman''s side and shouted: "Lin Xi''er, are you done yet?


    Qiao Xuan looked at the woman. So she was Lin Xi''er.


    Lin Xi''er stared at Sheng Hua with her almond-shaped eyes: "Last time you said I was making trouble for nothing, I admit it, what else do you have to say this time, so many people saw her coming out of your office, and more so ¡­ "And she''s even wearing this silk handkerchief. You clearly bought this silk handkerchief for me, why is it on her neck? Tell me!"


    Seeing Lin Xi''er pointing at her own body, Qiao Xuan lowered his head to look, and realised that this silk scarf was actually Lin Xi''er''s.


    That was to say, Sheng Hua had intentionally gifted the handkerchief to her, and had even calculated the time. He knew that Lin Xi''er would come to find him at this time, because he wanted to embarrass her.


    Qiao Xuan took off the silk handkerchief from her neck and shoved it into Lin Xi''er''s hands, "I''m sorry, I picked up the silk handkerchief. Since it is yours, it should be returned to its original owner."


    Seeing that she was about to leave after finishing her sentence, Lin Xi''er grabbed her and said: "Is that it? Do you think that I would believe you just because you found some random reason?


    Qiao Xuan did not want to get entangled with her, so he asked: "Then what do you want?"

 C44

    Lin Xi''er snorted: "A woman like you would have been dipped in a pig cage in the ancient times, and I won''t hold back for you. Kneel down and admit your wrongs in front of everyone, and promise that I won''t pester Sheng Hua again, then I will let bygones be bygones."


    Qiao Xuan was so angry that he laughed instead, "You think you''re the empress dowager, and yet you kneel and admit your wrongs. Forget about the fact that Sheng Hua and I have nothing to do with each other, even if there is, it''s not your turn to scold me."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan being so arrogant, Lin Xi''er gnashed her teeth in anger: "You slut, you dare to talk to me like that, I ¡­"


    Lin Xi''er looked left and right, as if she was looking for something to teach Qiao Xuan a lesson. However, before she could find him, she heard someone say with a smile: "What are you doing? It''s so lively."


    It was a young man wearing a white casual suit. His appearance was not that stunning, but those who looked over at the sound of his voice quieted down all of a sudden.


    "Master Qi ¡­" Lin Xi''er was somewhat dumbstruck. She stared blankly for a while before regaining her senses. She hurriedly tidied her hair and said with a smile, "Why have you come?"


    Qi Chu smiled as he walked over: "Why, great beauty Lin does not welcome me."


    "I wouldn''t dare, Master Qi is here to look for Sheng Hua, right? You guys have something to discuss, I''ll be leaving first." Although Lin Xi''er made a scene, she did not dare to disrupt Sheng Hua''s plans.


    Lin Xi''er turned around and was about to leave when Qi Chu asked her: "What''s going on your face, who hit you?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know Qi Chu, but hearing Lin Xi''er call him Master Qi just now, she remembered that Luo Jie had mentioned to her before that he was the mayor''s son and was Sheng Liang''s friend.


    The two of them must have never seen her, but Qi Chu acted as if he was protecting her, so from the looks of it, it seemed like he was the one who asked him to come here.


    Qiao Xuan did not speak, he only looked at Lin Xi''er who had stopped in her tracks.


    Qi Chu followed her gaze and looked over. Coincidentally, Lin Xi''er heard Qi Chu talking to Qiao Xuan, as if she was very concerned about him. She also turned around, and asked with a smile: "Master Qi ¡­ "Do you know her well?"


    Qi Chu grabbed Qiao Xuan''s shoulders, looked at Lin Xi''er, and said with a caring and retarded expression: "Don''t you know she''s my sworn sister?"


    Hearing Qi Chu''s words, not only Lin Xi''er''s expression changed, even Sheng Hua was startled.


    Because of these words, Qiao Xuan was even more certain of what had happened. He turned around and said to Qi Chu: "She''s the one who slapped my face, and she even said to make me kneel down and admit my wrongs. But I don''t want to pursue this matter, just don''t let me see her in the future."


    had told her before, that Sheng Hua and Lin Xi''er had been together since before they proposed marriage. After they got married, Sheng Hua had been in contact with Lin Xi''er, and because of this woman, he had even destroyed her child.


    Even though this life hadn''t started anything, since Sheng Liang had brought Qi Chu here, it was because he didn''t want her to suffer grievances, then why would she have to submit to it?


    "Lin Xi''er ¡ª ¡ª" A cold light flashed through Qi Chu''s eyes as he stared at Lin Xi''er.


    Lin Xi''er never thought that Qiao Xuan would actually have such a big backing like Qi Chu. If she knew earlier, she wouldn''t have done that.


    "Sorry, Miss Qiao, I was wrong, I apologize to you." Lin Xi''er smiled at Qiao Xuan.


    Qi Chu looked at Sheng Hua, "It''s enough to just apologize. Young Master Hua, she''s yours, what do you think?"


    No matter how good Sheng Hua was at disguising himself, he could not hide his face right now. He said with a smile that was not a smile: "How is she mine, she''s just a playboy, it''s just a play, Master Qi, do as you see fit."

 C45

    Lin Xi''er looked at Sheng Hua in disbelief, her face full of anger. However, after fighting in the entertainment circle for so many years, she knew very well that there was no benefit in turning against Sheng Hua at a time like this.


    Lin Xi''er gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Qiao Xuan. She slapped herself on the face: "Miss Qiao, you did not care about this lowly one, don''t lower yourself to me anymore."


    Qiao Xuan also didn''t think that it would be difficult for her, and even more so didn''t expect that Sheng Hua would actually stand idly by the side and watch this woman who had followed him for three years.


    After leaving Sheng Hua''s place, Qiao Xuan followed her back to her office, and saw that Sheng Liang was indeed waiting there.


    Seeing Sheng Liang''s gaze on Qiao Xuan, Qi Chu walked over, and found a place to sit down: "Don''t worry.


    Sheng Liang''s face still did not show any expression, he pointed to the stack of reports on the table and said to Qiao Xuan: "Please sign your name."


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything, walked over to the desk and signed his name.


    Qi Chu crossed his arms across his chest, looking at the two as if he was watching a show, his eyes a little uncertain.


    After signing, Sheng Liang thanked them and headed out.


    Qi Chu immediately followed: "You specifically told me to rush over there to help her out. You''re so concerned about her, why do you feel like a stranger seeing her? I know that you guys are pretending to be lovers, but for a man and a woman alone, after going to Europe for so many days, you still haven''t created any sparks?"


    Sheng Liang''s expression was still as indifferent as before: "Since when did you become so gossipy?"


    Qi Chu laughed, "Isn''t it because you''re worried about your life?"


    Seeing that Sheng Liang did not react, the smile on Qi Chu''s face gradually faded as he said sincerely: "Little Luo has been missing for so long that even my father no longer holds any hope, don''t wait too, your life is so short, don''t waste it on meaningless matters."


    "I know my limits." Sheng Liang said in a solemn voice and then left.


    After getting off work, Qiao Xuan went back to the apartment she rented before. She remembered her previous life where she once found a backpack in the company''s elevator.


    She had also told the front desk to call her if anyone called, but no one had contacted her until the time of her car accident.


    If it wasn''t Qiao Nan''s birthday, she would have forgotten about this a long time ago. She remembered that Qiao Nan was very interested in basketball, it was just that at that time, Qiao Nan was in a foreign country and others had their own belongings, so she couldn''t casually give them to others.


    He opened the door with the key and turned on the light. The furniture inside was still covered by a white cloth, and when he thought about it, ever since he moved to Sheng Family Villa, she had never come back.


    Qiao Xuan found the backpack in the wardrobe, but there were no basketball inside. She then searched through the entire room, but didn''t find anything.


    Furthermore, when she was searching for a basketball, she discovered that many things seemed to have been left untouched. Even though she had tried her best not to leave any traces behind, but she had gotten used to it.


    However, it could also be that the cleaning lady must have moved before she moved out of here. After all, she didn''t feel like she was missing anything.


    Thinking about that auntie, Qiao Xuan suddenly remembered something. She immediately ran to the kitchen and took out a small wooden block from the corner. There was a leather jacket sewn on the outside.

 C46

    Qiao Xuan found a bag to put away the basketball. He was prepared to give it to Qiao Nan as his birthday.


    When he returned to Sheng Liang''s villa, it was already dusk. Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang sitting on the steps in front of the door, watching that golden fur playing with it in the courtyard.


    "When we went to Europe, we sent it to Qi Chu." Sheng Liang''s voice was so empty that it seemed like it was caught in the cold of early autumn. He raised his head, glanced at Qiao Xuan, and asked, "What are you holding in your hands?"


    "A birthday present for Qiao Nan." Qiao Xuan put down the bag and sat beside Sheng Liang. He also looked at the commander running around the courtyard full of energy, "I haven''t thanked you for what happened today."


    Sheng Liang didn''t seem to mind at all: "I didn''t do anything, the person you should be thanking is Qi Chu."


    Knowing that he did not want her to think too much, Qiao Xuan did not refute her and just sat quietly with him.


    As the sun set in the west, the sky turned a fiery red. The entire yard seemed to be soaked in this brilliant red, so dazzling that one could see it.


    The commander shouted as he ran over, covered Qiao Xuan''s body with dirt and walked to Qiao Xuan''s side and purposely shook his fur.


    Qiao Xuan immediately used his hands to block, but he was still not spared, and was covered from head to toe.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s distressed look, it was rare for Sheng Liang to let out a laugh. He reached out and called out to the commander: "Come over, why are you so mischievous. Sit properly, don''t move."


    He rubbed the Commander''s head, his eyes filled with a gentleness that Qiao Xuan had never seen before. The Commander squatted down and stuck out his tongue, not moving at all.


    "Go and change your clothes and take a bath, if it''s inconvenient for you ¡ª"


    "No need!" As if he knew what Sheng Liang was going to say, Qiao Xuan didn''t wait for him to finish and directly rejected him. Then, he picked up the bag and ran in.


    One hand was indeed inconvenient, it took Qiao Xuan a long time to finish showering and change his clothes. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Sheng Liang was bragging for the commander.


    Dressed in khaki, he sat on the living room carpet with a hairdryer in one hand and the commander-in-chief''s hair in the other.


    "How old is it?" Qiao Xuan walked over and also tried to touch the commander''s head.


    She had never been interested in dogs or cats before, so she was cautious even though she knew the commander wouldn''t attack her.


    "Five years old." When Sheng Liang answered this question, his eyes clearly dimmed for a moment. He turned off the hairdryer and used a special comb to comb the commander''s hair.


    "I wouldn''t believe it if I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes." She sometimes even thought that he was an otherworldly person.


    Sheng Liang listened to her but did not respond. He released his hand and the commander ran off to the side.


    After a long moment, as if to himself, he said, "I don''t believe it myself."


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that Sheng Liang wouldn''t say anything, so she placed all her attention on the commander. Suddenly, she heard his voice and asked: "What did you say just now?"


    "Nothing." Sheng Liang stood up and walked upstairs, "I still have some work to do, I''ll be going first."


    Qiao Xuan acknowledged him, but she still remained seated on the ground. She merely turned her head to look at his back, and couldn''t tell what it was like in her heart.


    The next day, the company opened a board of directors, summed up the first half of the results, and then discussed the planning for the second half of the year.


    As Sheng Hua spoke frankly from above, Qiao Xuan''s gaze was secretly focused on Sheng Liang, who was sitting at the very end. He did not seem to be listening to the contents of the meeting at all, and was only looking out of the window, as if he was absent-minded.

 C47

    Very quickly, other people noticed it too, and Sheng Haotian''s face turned ugly as he shouted: "Sheng Liang, what are you looking at, don''t you know it''s a meeting!"


    Sheng Liang retracted his gaze, but did not say a word.


    "Hmph!" Sheng Haotian snorted with extreme dissatisfaction: "Luckily Sheng Hua spoke up for you and gave you a family company to train with. I don''t think it''s necessary anymore, mud won''t help a wall!"


    It seemed like there was something else he wanted to say, but Sheng Haotian finally swallowed it back.


    Sheng Hua lowered his eyebrows, stealthily glanced at the crowd''s reaction, and laughed secretly in glee.


    Although he knew that Sheng Liang was trying to hide his identity, being humiliated in such a public place or was it his own father''s fault, Qiao Xuan felt even worse about Sheng Liang''s situation.


    When everyone had left, Qiao Xuan walked to the end and asked Sheng Liang: "Are you alright?"


    However, Sheng Liang acted as if nothing had happened and continued to look outside. After a long while, he asked: Look at that building over there, isn''t it spectacular?


    Qiao Xuan followed his line of sight, and saw that a skyscraper was constructed on the other side of him, taller than even Golden Age: "I didn''t even notice, where is that?"


    "The office of a new company." Sheng Liang''s eyes flashed with an unknown light.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know why he would care about such unrelated matters. Even if he didn''t want to be noticed by others, there was no need to bring shame to himself.


    However, she could never figure out what Sheng Liang was doing.


    When Qiao Xuan returned to the office, he heard the discussions of the others, and of course, they were all belittling Sheng Liang.


    Even his background was dug up and commented on.


    Her assistant also ran over, and said to her in a regretful tone, "Director Qiao, it''s useless for a man to have an empty appearance. Why did you break off the engagement with Young Master Hua in the first place?"


    Qiao Xuan did not want to care about her, and what everyone saw was only the surface. They would not know how sinister and sinister Sheng Hua was behind all of this, nor would they know that Sheng Liang did not have an outer appearance.


    There was no need for her to explain it to these people.


    Originally, Sheng Liang wanted Luo Jie to send him to the New Meeting City for his birthday, but very early in the morning, he received a call from Luo Jie, saying that he could not go because he had matters to attend to.


    Actually, Sheng Liang knew that Luo Jie wanted to create a chance for him and Qiao Xuan to be alone, but before he could refuse, Luo Jie had already hung up.


    Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and saw that Qiao Xuan had already changed his clothes and came down. He took the car keys from the table and said: "Luo Jie cannot go, I''ll send you."


    Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned for a moment before nodding his head.


    She had prepared a large box of things, and she had the feeling that there was still a lot more to be given to her family, but the box was no longer enough.


    Sheng Liang helped her put the box back on the car. When she turned to the side, Sheng Liang realized that she had already taken off the gypsum herself.


    Sheng Liang knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. Furthermore, she did not want her family to worry about her.


    Qiao Xuan had also never come to a new meeting before, so this was the first time he had seen the sea of flowers that filled the sky.


    She rolled down the window a little, and the fragrance of the flowers came in with the wind.


    Sheng Liang looked at her in the rearview mirror. She was wearing a white chiffon sweater today, and a beige windbreaker on the outside.


    The faint smile on her lips seemed to have the shyness of a young girl.


    Just like the pink shadow in his heart.

 C48

    After more than an hour of driving, they finally reached the house that Sheng Liang had bought.


    Qiao Xuan got off the carriage and was about to go get the chest, but Sheng Liang was already there a step ahead of her, so he helped her get it.


    Qiao Xuan sometimes thought that it would be great if this was not only his demeanor.


    This time, it was Qiao Nan who opened the door. Seeing Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan, he was not that surprised, after all, Sheng Liang had already greeted them a few days ago.


    However, Qiao Xuan was somewhat unable to control himself, especially when he saw his parents.


    In her previous life, she was always too busy at work to go home and see them. After they got married, Sheng Hua didn''t like her to always come home. She didn''t want to argue with him all day, so she returned even less.


    However, she never thought that she would still end up like that even though she had already indulged him so much.


    Especially since it had implicated her family.


    Qiao Xuan hugged her mother and suddenly sobbed loudly. This was something that she would never do before.


    "Little Du, what happened?" His mother was a little curious. In the past, Qiao Xuan would not be so emotional.


    Qiao Xuan still hugged his mother''s neck without letting go. "Mom, I missed you."


    Fortunately, the heavens had given her the opportunity to be reborn. Otherwise, she wouldn''t even have the chance to make amends.


    Qiao Nan looked at Sheng Liang who was at the side, walked to Qiao Xuan''s side and asked softly: "Sis, is he not good to you?"


    Although his impression of Sheng Liang was not bad, but if he dared to bully Qiao Xuan, Qiao Nan swore to not let him go.


    Qiao Xuan did not expect him to misunderstand, so her parents probably saw her crying and thought like that too. She immediately let go of his hand and said: "No, I just missed you guys."


    Although Sheng Liang did not say anything, but hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, he understood what was going on, but he still did not say anything.


    Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang was still holding onto the box, and immediately said to Qiao Nan: "Put the box in, there are things I bought for you inside, and also gifts for you."


    Hearing that there was a gift, Qiao Nan immediately laughed, and took the box from Sheng Liang''s hands: "Sis, why do you suddenly have such a good conscience, I''m not used to it."


    Qiao Xuan rolled her eyes at him, and choked: "You sound like you have a lot of conscience."


    Watching them bicker, the Qiao family''s parents couldn''t help but laugh. They had been like this before when they were young.


    Sheng Liang was also watching by the side, his expression could not be seen, but his eyes revealed a hint of envy.


    Even though he had already quickly turned his eyes away, he was still seen by Qiao Xuan.


    At noon, Sheng Liang had already booked the most luxurious hotel. When Qiao Nan entered, it was as if he had discovered a new continent, he excitedly whistled.


    "Don''t be so naive, it''s like you haven''t seen the world at all. No matter what, you''re still a foreign student." Qiao Xuan said in disdain, but his face was full of smiles.


    It had been a long time since she had such a blissful and blissful scene. She should be thankful that Sheng Liang was so considerate that she didn''t miss the chance to be with her family ever again.


    The cake was pre-order, it was at least two meters tall, and had been made into 19 layers, representing Qiao Nan''s 19th birthday.


    "Thank you elder sister ¡­" Qiao Nan stood up and said to Sheng Liang while holding a cup of wine. Originally, he wanted to call her brother-in-law, but after thinking about what happened last time, he immediately changed his mind, "Thank you for everything Young Master Liang has prepared for me. I really like it, this cup of wine is for you."

 C49

    Initially, Qiao Xuan wanted to stop Qiao Nan, but seeing that her father was shaking his head, she did not say anything, and turned to look at Sheng Liang. Seeing that he was distracted for a moment, she went to grab the wine cup, immediately pressing his hand: "Stop drinking, you''re still driving."


    "Sis, don''t ruin the mood. What kind of car are you driving? It''s enough for you to stay here today." Qiao Nan had only just drunk one cup before his face flushed red. He walked over and placed his hand on Sheng Liang''s shoulder. "Brother-in-law, you guys came here with great difficulty.


    When Qiao¡¯s father saw that Qiao Nan had obviously drunk his fill, he immediately stopped him. "Qiao Nan, you''re messing around again.


    Sheng Liang also did not say anything. He only finished the cup of wine in one gulp, then brightened the bottom of the cup towards Qiao Nan.


    "Brother-in-law, good alcohol tolerance." Qiao Nan pushed Qiao Xuan away and sat beside Sheng Liang, and started to chat with him.


    Qiao Xuan was a little worried that Sheng Liang would be angry, but he did not seem to be angry at all. Although he did not talk much, and had been listening to Qiao Nan a lot, one could not see any impatience on his face.


    After eating for a long time, Qiao Nan was completely drunk when he went out. It was Sheng Liang who helped him up the carriage.


    Sheng Liang drank and could not drive, so Qiao¡¯s father suggested for Qiao Xuan to drive, but Sheng Liang had already called him to come over.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was helping her to conceal the fact that her hands were injured.


    However, there were so many of them in one car, furthermore, Qiao Nan was drunk, so he filled the back rows with seats.


    Sheng Liang found a car and told Qiao Xuan to go with her parents first while he and Qiao Nan sat in his car at the back.


    After Qiao Xuan drove the car out, he turned to look at Sheng Liang who was behind him, only to realize that there seemed to be someone fighting in the shadows.


    Returning back to the living room and settling Qiao Nan down. When Qiao Xuan came out, he saw that Sheng Liang was making a phone call, his voice was very soft, as if he did not want others to hear it.


    But Qiao Xuan heard it. Only now did she know that the people who were fighting outside the hotel were people that Sheng Liang had arranged for to stop Sheng Hua.


    After Sheng Liang made his call, he turned around and saw Qiao Xuan standing behind him.


    "Sorry to trouble you again." At that time, she only said that she wanted to visit her family in a bad mood and didn''t think about these deeper things. She had forgotten that the place her family was at should be a secret place, otherwise it would become Sheng Hua''s bargaining chip.


    Presumably, Sheng Liang came here personally that day to arrange all of this, for the safety of her family, she had even misunderstood him.


    However, Sheng Liang didn''t care at all. As he walked past her, he said lightly: "It''s alright."


    Qiao Nan went out and did not come back. Qiao Xuan accompanied his parents to watch TV, but he was still a little distracted. From time to time, he would look towards the door.


    His mother lowered her head and looked at Qiao Xuan who was in her embrace, then asked with a smile: "Xiao Nan said, you and Sheng Liang aren''t really together, but you really do like him. No matter what you do, you will always secretly look at him.


    Having her thoughts guessed by her mother, Qiao Xuan did not refute her.


    "Mom, he''s actually pretty good. Although his appearance is very cold and he doesn''t talk much, he will always help me." Even though she misunderstood him every time.


    "I know, this child is pretty good. Hua''er, Mom doesn''t want anything else but for you to be safe and happy."

 C50

    It was as if her mother had said the same thing to her when she was married to Sheng Hua in her previous life.


    Therefore, in this life, Qiao Xuan would never let them get hurt again.


    At dusk, Sheng Liang had returned. At that time, Qiao Xuan and his mother had just finished cooking and when she saw him, she immediately walked over. "You''re back, wash your hands and eat."


    She did not ask him where he had been or why he had been gone so long. She knew he would not tell her, and she did not care.


    Sheng Liang nodded, went inside to wash his hands, and sat at the dining table.


    However, Qiao Xuan noticed that his expression seemed a little unnatural.


    "Where''s Nan?" Qiao¡¯s father asked.


    "He''s still sleeping, don''t worry about him." Qiao¡¯s mother placed a plate of fried mustard orchid closest to Sheng Liang and smiled as he said, "Hua''er said that you like to eat it, but my cooking skills are not good, so you should take care of it."


    Sheng Liang''s face was still pale, and her expression could not be seen: "Thank you Auntie."


    This time, Qiao Xuan cooked very diligently, because in Sheng Liang''s home, he basically didn''t eat at home. She wouldn''t even have the chance to show off if she wanted to.


    But even so, Sheng Liang still ate very little. Other than the plate of fried mustard grass, he had basically not touched the rest of it.


    "Is it not to your liking?" Qiao¡¯s mother felt somewhat guilty, "I forgot that you are used to eating Western cuisine."


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "No, Auntie, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."


    Once he said that, the people on the table immediately tensed up. Qiao¡¯s father immediately said: "It must be that guy Qiao Nan who drank too much in the afternoon!"


    "I''ll cook some ginger soup for you to warm up," Qiao¡¯s mother said as he stood up, "Hua''er, there''s some stomach medicine in the drawer. First let him eat it, so he can feel better."


    From the moment Qiao Xuan said it was not comfortable, she had always been looking at him with a pained expression. However, she didn''t have any experience in taking care of others, so when she heard her mother''s words, she immediately ran over and took out the stomach medicine from the drawer and poured him a cup of water.


    Actually, what Sheng Liang said was only because he did not want the Qiao¡¯s mother to feel awkward and not reveal his true situation. However, he did not expect them to care about him that much.


    Seeing the medicine that Qiao Xuan had given him, Sheng Liang did not take it, but asked: "Can I rest in your room for a while?"


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, and then looked at his father. Originally, the arrangement of the house was for him to share a room with his father, and so Qiao Xuan and his mother came to her room. Now that Sheng Liang had asked this question, Qiao Xuan was momentarily at a loss as to how to reply.


    Qiao¡¯s father waved his hand. "Go, go. Let him rest first. We''ll talk about other things later."


    Qiao Xuan supported Sheng Liang back to his room, but he did not refuse her help. His palms were also covered in sweat, and Qiao Xuan knew that her worry was right.


    Once he entered the room, Qiao Xuan just closed the door, causing him to be unable to hold on any longer, and his body fell to the ground, curled up like a shrimp, and shook all over.


    "Sheng Liang!" Qiao Xuan squatted down, wanting to help him up, but he saw that both of his hands were tightly clenched, his lips were also tightly clenched, and there was not a single trace of blood on his face.


    Sheng Liang did his best to restrain himself, his voice trembling. "In the left pocket, give me the blade ¡­"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled. She still remembered the first time she saw him in this life. He stood by the pool, his arms covered in blood.


    He carried the pocketknife with him because he was afraid that he might lose his will at any moment.

 C51

    When Qiao Xuan thought about it, his heart ached. She tried to hug his upper body, "I won''t let you hurt yourself anymore. Sheng Liang, even if I don''t use that method, I know that you can control yourself."


    He was not an ordinary person. He was Sheng Liang, and he had the tenacity and perseverance of an ordinary person.


    Sheng Liang was no longer able to say a word. He clenched his fist even harder and blood came out from his palm.


    But what made Qiao Xuan even more shocked was that she saw Sheng Liang biting her tongue uncontrollably, and she knew how dangerous it was.


    "Sheng Liang, don''t be like this, quickly let go!" Qiao Xuan did not care about helping him stand, she wanted to break his seal, but it was useless.


    Soon enough, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Qiao Xuan was so scared that her mind went blank, and she didn''t know what she could do to help him.


    Sheng Liang...


    She kept calling the name in her mind, and as she watched him in pain, she leaned down and kissed him, the tip of her tongue working at his teeth.


    The stench of blood instantly spread inside her mouth. She wanted to vomit, but she endured it, and with all her attention focused on Sheng Liang, she quickly forgot about this.


    Sheng Liang slowly loosened his lips, allowing the sweetness in her mouth to slowly wipe away the blood in his mouth. When she realised that he had regained his consciousness and wanted to retreat, Sheng Liang suddenly grabbed onto her, deepening his kiss time and time again.


    His kiss was almost barbaric, causing Qiao Xuan to be unable to resist. His head was also dizzy and he looked like he was drunk.


    But she had to admit, it was a good feeling, and she didn''t even want it to end.


    His tensed body finally relaxed, but he did not let go of Qiao Xuan. With a flip of his body, he pressed her down beneath him.


    Qiao Xuan saw that his eyes, which had just opened, had gradually regained its original clarity. Due to the blood stains, his lips were alluring and red, deeply bewitching her.


    But she knew, the current him only treated her as an antidote, without any emotional factors.


    Seeing that he was about to turn his head and kiss her neck, Qiao Xuan said lightly: "If you''re fine, can I get up now?"


    Sheng Liang''s movements stopped, and looked at her from top to bottom. She looked to the side, not daring to look him in the eye.


    Just now, he had actually lost his reason. He wanted to continue just like that, wanted to ¡­ Let her be his woman.


    Fortunately, she was the one who reminded him. Otherwise, it would have been a huge mistake.


    It was impossible for him to be together with Qiao Xuan. He should remember this.


    Sheng Liang slowly sat at the side, watching Qiao Xuan stand up and indifferently tidy up the messy hair and clothes: "I''m sorry, I didn''t do it on purpose just now."


    Qiao Xuan did not reply him, she only turned and walked out: "I''m going to see if my mother, Jiang Tang is ready."


    When he opened the door, Qiao Xuan''s hand stopped. After a while, he said: "Don''t worry, I will pretend that what happened just now did not happen."


    In fact, even if she hadn''t said it, he wouldn''t have remembered.


    When night fell, Qiao Nan woke up and gave his room to Sheng Liang. Without waiting for Sheng Liang to say anything, he ran over to his father''s room and continued sleeping.


    But Qiao Xuan could not sleep at all, she quietly got off the bed, and did not wake her mother up. She opened the door and went out, sitting under a tree in the courtyard, and staring at the stars in the sky.


    It seemed like they had not seen such a beautiful night in a long time since they had moved to the city.


    "Do you like this place?"


    When Qiao Xuan heard Sheng Liang''s voice from behind her, she couldn''t help but sit up straight, but didn''t turn around to look at him.

 C52

    "Qiao Xuan," Sheng Liang paused for a moment, and said in the end, "This can become your condition, and I will not refuse."


    Qiao Xuan chuckled, he had already bought this place, he had the qualifications to say that he would give it to her, but maybe in his eyes, things that could be solved with money were nothing.


    "I don''t lack money, I can also buy it myself. I will keep my conditions and one day I will ask you for them." However, what she really wanted, he would not give.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything else, but did not leave either, and stood behind Qiao Xuan, looking at the sky together with her.


    "Did you send someone to the house where I used to live?" Qiao Xuan asked casually.


    Sheng Liang actually did not refute him.


    Qiao Xuan had only been testing them out, but he was sure of it now, so he didn''t find anything strange. The reason why Sheng Liang was cooperating with her, was precisely for that thing.


    "Are you really not going to tell me what you''re looking for?" Since it was in her house, he might as well let her take it out.


    Sheng Liang''s voice was still as calm as water, "You know, this isn''t a good thing for you."


    If it were now, she might have taken him for a kind person, but from the beginning he had refused to tell her.


    Moreover, both Sheng Hua and Sheng Qian had kept quiet with her. Isn''t it strange?


    But since they didn''t want to say it, then so be it. Anyway, in the end, she would definitely find out.


    After a short time of being together, they still had to leave. Qiao Xuan had thought at that time that after everything was settled, she would move in with her parents and not let herself have any regrets.


    Returning to the Sang City from the new meeting, they didn''t return home and instead went straight to the company.


    Qiao Xuan was a little worried that Sheng Hua would come looking for trouble again. She didn''t know how Sheng Liang would deal with those people, but it was impossible that Sheng Hua didn''t sense them at all.


    Sure enough, not long after she sat down, Sheng Hua came over. He didn''t even knock on the door and directly walked in.


    The assistant looked at Qiao Xuan with a little difficulty, then Qiao Xuan said to her: "Nothing, you can go out first."


    After the assistant closed the door and left, Sheng Hua walked over to Qiao Xuan''s side and pressed both hands on the armrests of her chair, locking her in a narrow space.


    Qiao Xuan could not move, and simply did not move, he looked at him and said: "I do not know what you are saying."


    "Stop pretending! What are you guys doing in the new club? Wasn''t it to find that little staff from the Finance Department who went missing?!" Behind Sheng Hua''s lens, his eyes were filled with anger and gloominess.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat. Even she didn''t know that when Sheng Liang went there with her, he actually had this kind of intention.


    But looking at Sheng Hua''s expression, it meant that Sheng Liang was heading in the right direction.


    "So what? Are you afraid?" Qiao Xuan stared intently into his eyes.


    "What a joke!" Sheng Hua retreated back, fidgeting with his tie. "Even if you guys found him, it would be useless. Do you think that the board of directors would believe that Sheng Liang is still me?"


    Qiao Xuan declined to comment. In terms of their identities, even if Sheng Liang had evidence proving that he embezzled the company''s assets, with Sheng Haotian present, Sheng Liang would not be able to take advantage of them.


    But she believed in Sheng Liang. If he didn''t have enough confidence, he definitely wouldn''t take the risk.


    But she couldn''t say.


    "He doesn''t want anyone to believe him. He just wants to prove himself. No one wants to be called mud by his father." This sentence was something that Sheng Liang had taught her. He knew from the beginning that Qiao Xuan was not good at lying, and this reason was at least half true.

 C53

    Sheng Hua laughed coldly, "Father is right, he is just a piece of mud. He thinks that he will become the crown prince once he wears the dragon robe, what kind of identity does he have?!"


    Indeed, these words made him a little bit excited and a little proud.


    Qiao Xuan only watched coldly. She knew that Sheng Liang had always been waiting for him to reveal his weakness.


    He began to relax, and they had a chance.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan told Sheng Liang about this matter. He was currently reading a book, and did not even raise his head as he said, "People always feel that they''re very smart, especially when they think they see the opponent''s weakness. So, it''s best not to be overly confident at a time like this.


    "You purposely made Sheng Hua think that we are going to the New Meeting to look for that staff member, right?" Instead, it made Sheng Hua more suspicious of his ambitions. Giving Sheng Hua some information like this, and even making him feel that the overall situation was still in his control, would instead make him feel that even if Sheng Liang wanted to do something in secret, it would be useless.


    Sheng Liang put down the book and looked at Qiao Xuan: "I didn''t intend to make use of your brother''s birthday, I only thought of it on the spur of the moment."


    No one knew where the staff member had gone after his resignation. He had only deliberately spread the news.


    Even if it was used by him, Qiao Xuan had nothing to say. This was something that they all agreed to, and she had no right to blame him.


    Still, she was surprised that he would explain to her that he never seemed to be able to explain anything to anyone.


    Perhaps he felt that she cared so much about her family that he was afraid she would be angry.


    "It doesn''t matter, our goal has been achieved, that''s enough." Qiao Xuan walked in and prepared to go upstairs.


    Sheng Liang said to her from behind: "If there''s such a thing happening again, I''ll try my best to discuss it with you first."


    Democracy did not even exist in Sheng Liang''s concept, but he told her that he would negotiate with her, so it could be considered as a form of compromise.


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan turned and gave him a light smile.


    Maybe previously, Sheng Liang did not view her as a true partner at all. He was only afraid that she would become his helper, so he invited her to his side.


    But now, it might be different.


    Although it was a small matter to Sheng Liang, but Qiao Xuan felt extremely happy. She closed the door and could not help but laugh.


    Although he didn''t have to go to work on Sunday, Qiao Xuan woke up very early and went to the kitchen to make an exquisite breakfast.


    There were also two cups of espresso.


    Sheng Liang also did not have the habit of sleeping in a lazy manner, he came down from the stairs and smelled the rich aroma of coffee, and for some reason, his heart suddenly started to beat faster.


    There was a name on the tip of his lip, on the verge of appearing.


    He strode into the kitchen, where he could see the back of a woman in a pink housecoat and a familiar pale blue apron.


    The gentle morning sunlight seemed to cast a layer of silver halo around the figure, causing her to appear even more clear and deep. It was as if everything around her had disappeared without a trace.


    Is she back? Sheng Liang secretly clenched his fist and didn''t dare to take another step forward.


    "Little Luo ¡­" Sheng Liang''s throat tightened. He thought he used a very loud voice, but what came out was only a light, low mumble.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head around and saw Sheng Liang staring straight at her, as if he was staring at a demon. She brushed off her hair and laughed uneasily: "You''re awake."

 C54

    It was as if he had suddenly returned to reality from a dream. Sheng Liang''s eyes were empty, he stood there dumbly, his body stiff.


    Earlier, he really thought that Qi Luo had returned.


    Only she would grind his coffee every morning, in this pale blue apron, without any trouble.


    Why was it that I kept seeing Qi Luo''s shadow on Qiao Xuan recently, that they were clearly different from each other.


    "Where''s the commander?" Sheng Liang turned his gaze away, allowing his heart to calm down.


    Qiao Xuan immediately said: "It''s in the courtyard. I just brought it to play outside, it refused to come in."


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, and turned to walk out.


    Qiao Xuan also turned his head to continue pouring the coffee into the cup, and suddenly heard Sheng Liang say: "There''s a new apron in the cupboard, it''s old now, throw it away."


    Qiao Xuan lowered his head and looked at his body. He looked a little old, but he looked very clean.


    However, this color didn''t look like it belonged to Auntie Kung, but rather something that a little girl liked.


    Qiao Xuan laughed, she was becoming more and more crazy, and always paid attention to such insignificant matters.


    Qiao Xuan set up the breakfast and went out to call Sheng Liang. He saw him sitting cross-legged on the grass in the courtyard with the Commander in his arms.


    Qiao Xuan felt that her thoughts were a little abnormal, she shook her head and called out Sheng Liang''s name.


    After eating breakfast, Qiao Xuan asked Sheng Liang: "I''m going shopping on the streets, do you have anything to take with you?"


    "Whatever you want to buy, I''ll get Luo Jie to send over to you." Sheng Liang said as he picked up his phone.


    "No need," Qiao Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, "It''s better if I go myself, he won''t be able to find me."


    Sheng Liang looked at her, then stood up: "Then I''ll send you over, you can''t get a taxi here."


    In fact, Qiao Xuan could also drive herself, but seeing that Sheng Liang had already gone to the Profound Entrance to change his shoes, she could not reject anymore.


    The car drove out, and Qiao Xuan told Sheng Liang that she was going to the near art institute in Sang City. Sheng Liang turned his head and asked curiously: "Why are you going there?"


    "I want to learn oil painting, so ¡­" Qiao Xuan lowered his head, not wanting Sheng Liang to see through her thoughts.


    Sheng Liang did not pursue the matter further, but said: "I know an artist, I can introduce him to you."


    "I''m just entertaining myself. There''s no need to trouble yourself." She had no interest in paintings. She just wanted to buy some paint and repair the painting he had given her.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head to look at Sheng Liang. Just looking at his side caused her to be unable to shift her gaze away.


    He was like a glass of wine. Even though he knew that it was poisonous, he could not help but indulge in its fragrance.


    Sheng Liang parked his car in front of an art supplies shop near the American Academy. After watching Qiao Xuan get off the car and enter the shop, he also got off his car and leaned on the door as he waited for her.


    "Little Luo, why are you so slow? Hurry!" The girl in yellow urged.


    "The Dean just came to talk to me about something. I''m sorry." A girl with short hair that fell to her ears ran out from the entrance of the American Academy and said apologetically.


    The moment Sheng Liang heard the name, he turned his gaze over. Seeing the girl appear, he practically rushed over there without hesitation.


    "Little Luo!" Sheng Liang reached out to pat the girl''s shoulder, but when she turned around, she was stunned for a moment, and then slowly retracted her hand, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

 C55

    The two girls looked at him warily, then quickly left.


    Sheng Liang stood in the flow of the crowd for a long time without being able to recover from the pressure.


    Qi Chu was right, it was impossible for Qi Luo to come back, although no one could be seen, no one could be found dead, but with the Qi family''s power, after so many years of searching, there was no hope at all.


    After Qiao Xuan bought the paint, she did not see Sheng Liang in the car. She immediately looked around and found Sheng Liang standing on the street, as if his soul had left his body.


    "What''s the matter with you?" Qiao Xuan pulled his sleeves worriedly.


    "I''m fine." Sheng Liang turned around and said, "I''m going to a place later, drive your car back."


    Qiao Xuan casually asked: "What about you?"


    "Someone will send me back."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what had just happened, but she had never seen the disordered expression on Sheng Liang''s face before.


    She had thought he was invulnerable, except for his occasional addiction, but he wasn''t, and he had a weakness.


    When was near the river side of the Sang City, he put Sheng Liang down. He originally wanted to say something to him, but then saw that he had already opened the car door and got out, quickly disappearing into the crowd.


    What he was going to do, he still didn''t want her to know.


    Qiao Xuan understood that this was not something that could be changed in a short period of time.


    Sheng Liang entered a bar and sat on a high chair. He asked for a cup of wine and slowly sipped.


    "Handsome, can you buy me a drink?" A gorgeous woman sat next to him, her eyes bewitching.


    However, Sheng Liang did not even look at her. He took out a stack of bills from his wallet and placed it on the bar counter. "I''m waiting for someone.


    The woman took the money and left immediately.


    "Being so generous to women, what wine is Young Master Liang prepared to treat me to?" Qi Chu who just entered saw everything and laughed.


    Sheng Liang took a new cup and poured it for him: "What do you want to drink in such a small bar?"


    Qi Chu laughed, took a sip, and asked: "You''re not looking for me to drink, are you?"


    Sheng Liang turned her head to look at him, her pitch-black pupils were completely devoid of emotion. "I want to ask you, when Little Luo went missing that year, are you sure you guys searched through all of Sang City''s places?"


    Qi Chu and Sheng Liang looked at each other, and then said after a while: "Sheng Liang, I don''t know what you are trying to express, but you have to understand, Xiao Luo is my sister, do you suspect that I have not tried my best?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head. Of course he wasn''t, he knew how Qi Chu felt about his only sister. "I met a girl on the street today.


    "Does she look like Little Luo?"


    "No, just a name." Sheng Liang was a little annoyed and took another drink.


    Qi Chu looked at him in amusement: "There are so many people in China with the same name, do you really think that they are Little Luo?"


    Sheng Liang couldn''t tell what kind of feeling this was, even when Qi Luo had just disappeared, he had never lost control like this, it was as if he had been possessed by a devil.


    The yearning really is like the flood, once the switch is turned on, it is uncontrollable.


    Sheng Liang knew that this would be very dangerous, and he would easily expose his weakness to his opponent. Fortunately, the person in front of him was Qi Chu.


    He had drank a lot these past few years, but he had never done this before. Maybe he knew that Qi Chu would send him back home.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked when she saw him when she opened the door. She hurriedly brought him to the sofa and laid him down together with Qi Chu: "Why does he drink so much?"

 C56

    "Probably in a bad mood." Qi Chu looked at the drunk Sheng Liang and said.


    Qiao Xuan looked up at him in shock: "What happened?"


    "It''s nothing," Qi Chu seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated before speaking in the end, "Miss Qiao, I know that you two aren''t really male and female friends, but I still hope that you two can really be together. He has suffered too much, and needs someone to take care of him."


    Of course, Qiao Xuan knew about these, but unfortunately, she wasn''t the one that Sheng Liang needed.


    "Did he have a girlfriend before?" Qiao Xuan lowered his head to look at Sheng Liang. He turned his body, and faced the other side of the sofa.


    These few days, his behavior was really weird. Qiao Xuan thought that she was overthinking things and only after seeing him drink too much did she come to a realization.


    Qi Chu looked at Qiao Xuan in shock: "How did you know?"


    When Sheng Liang was together with Qi Luo, they had always kept a low profile because they didn''t want the media report that Qi Luo was in danger. Other than Qi Chu''s family, Sheng Liang had even kept his friends a secret.


    Of course, other than Qi Chu, he didn''t seem to have any other friends.


    Qiao Xuan did not answer, but stared at Qi Chu, waiting for his answer.


    Qi Chu nodded: "Yes, she is called Qi Luo, and is my younger sister. Five years ago, she went missing."


    Qiao Xuan understood everything. Recently, the reason he was daydreaming was all because he had thought of Qi Luo.


    That light blue apron must have belonged to Qi Luo, so when he saw her wearing it, he would have that expression, because he thought that Qi Luo had returned.


    And the commander, that''s their dog.


    Qi Chu looked at Qiao Xuan''s downcast expression, and said: "It''s already a thing of the past, you don''t have to mind it. Little Luo hasn''t been able to find her for so many years, even if she''s still alive, she''s probably already married."


    But so what? As long as she was still in Sheng Liang''s heart, he wouldn''t accept anyone.


    After Qi Chu left, Qiao Xuan took a towel and placed it on Sheng Liang''s forehead, then sat down on the side and watched him.


    In fact, Sheng Liang had hidden her well. If not for the abnormality in these few days, she would never have known that someone as indifferent as him actually knew how to love.


    She thought it was because she wasn''t good enough, but it turned out that she wasn''t the person in his heart.


    She didn''t know how much he drank, but this time, he slept until the next morning.


    For him, there was probably no precedent for this.


    Qiao Xuan watched him sit up from the sofa, then walk over and pass him a cup of honey water. "Does your head still hurt?"


    "What time is it?" Sheng Liang habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch and discovered that his wrist was empty, even his shirt had been replaced.


    Qiao Xuan gave him his watch and said: "You slept for 19 hours, and it''s already 10 o''clock in the morning. Last night your clothes were dirty, so I helped you change them."


    Sheng Liang touched his forehead, he did not expect himself to be this drunk, "Did I say anything?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, not telling him that he had always been calling out to Xiao Luo.


    Sheng Liang stood up, went to the bathroom, and dipped his head into the water.


    He needed to wake up. If this continued, it would be very dangerous, and he couldn''t have any feelings for her.


    He had made a mistake five years ago, and he must not do it again.


    Qiao Xuan made breakfast, but Sheng Liang did not eat it. Instead, he told her that he did not need to make these in the future.


    Qiao Xuan could roughly guess that Qi Luo must have frequently cooked breakfast for him in the past.

 C57

    After Qiao Xuan cleaned up the dishes, he did not see Sheng Liang anymore, and the car that was originally parked in the courtyard was also gone.


    The commander wagged his tail and ran over, rubbing his hands over Qiao Xuan''s feet. He should be hungry, since Qiao Xuan found the dog food and poured it into its bowl.


    Qiao Xuan saw that the Commander was eating heartily and even shouted at her twice from time to time as if she was acting coquettishly.


    She could imagine that when Sheng Liang and Qi Luo took care of Xiao Budian''s commander at that time, he should have been laughing very happily too.


    It would not be like the current him, who always had an indifferent face. Even when he was happy, his eyes would not be warm at all.


    After feeding the commander, Qiao Xuan went back to her room. He carefully took out the oil painting and mixed the paint he bought yesterday with it.


    While she was concentrating, she heard the commander outside shouting, the kind of voice that would alert a stranger.


    She put down her paintbrush and looked out the window to see that the commander had run to the gate and was shouting at the people outside.


    And that person was none other than Sheng Qian.


    She had not seen him since her return from Europe, not even at the company.


    This Sheng Family''s Fourth Young Master did not go to the company often to begin with. Instead, he was at the location of the activities which were known as the gold selling area for the Sang City.


    Qiao Xuan went downstairs and opened the door to the courtyard. When she called for the commander, Sheng Qian drove in and stopped not too far away from her.


    Sheng Qian got down from the car and revealed his signature demonic smile, looking at the commander at Qiao Xuan''s feet and said: "So it turns out that you like dogs. What breed do you want, I''ll send it over to you tomorrow."


    "I even suspect that you have been monitoring me the entire time. Otherwise, why would you come look for me every single time when Sheng Liang is not around?" Qiao Xuan completely ignored his flattery, and said with a cold voice.


    Sheng Qian laughed awkwardly: "You really know how to joke."


    Qiao Xuan did not continue with the topic, but she knew that the answer was yes, even if Sheng Liang did not want to attract any more attention, with her here, his two brothers would not give up on paying attention to their actions.


    "I haven''t thanked you for treating me to a drink last time. Also, your song is very nice to listen to." Qiao Xuan spoke the truth.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s reaction, she guessed that her Third Brother did not tell her that Qiao Xuan had tried to go against her.


    He smiled. "Do you want to hear it? I can sing it to you anytime."


    "We''ll see." She had almost forgotten about his ability to hit a snake with a stick, so she shouldn''t bring up this topic. She gave him an excuse to harass her at any time in the future.


    "I haven''t eaten breakfast yet. What''s at home? Quickly take it out, I''m starving to death." Sheng Qian said as he walked in.


    Qiao Xuan watched from behind. She did not know if he had eaten breakfast, but she knew that she would not easily kick him out.


    As soon as he closed the door, Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Qian looking at a bag of biscuits on the table. Just as she was about to reach for it, she hurriedly shouted, "Hey, that''s for the commander to eat!"


    Sheng Qian lowered his head to look at the commander who was wagging his tail and running towards him, sighing: "Sigh, humans are not as good as dogs, the commander still has people on his mind, I''m starving and no one cares."


    He was a stately Fourth Young Master of the Sheng Family, how could he have fallen to such a state? Wasn''t he speaking in such a pitiful manner because he wanted Qiao Xuan to be his free chef?


    Since there were still eggs and flour in the fridge, it was possible to make a simple breakfast cake. Qiao Xuan said to him, "If you can wait for half an hour, I''ll make it now."

 C58

    "Yes!" Of course he could wait. Hadn''t he come to stay with her a little longer?


    Qiao Xuan turned and entered the kitchen, using his fastest speed to beat up the egg and pour in the flour, stirring it evenly.


    Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Sheng Qian, the cat, enter the house. "You don''t have to watch me here, I promise I won''t poison you."


    Sheng Qian smiled flirtatiously, "That may not be true. I''m so handsome, you can''t make a choice between me and Third Brother, so you might as well poison me to death and get over it."


    "I''ve seen narcissists, but I''ve never seen one as narcissistic as you." Qiao Xuan rolled his eyes at him, but still couldn''t hold back his laughter.


    The moment Sheng Qian saw her smile, his expression changed for a moment; this was something he had never seen before.


    He looked at her blankly for a long while, until he saw Qiao Xuan turning around unnaturally.


    Realizing that he had lost his composure, he asked with a disguised smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"


    Because of his earlier gaze, Qiao Xuan became a bit uncomfortable, and she stammered: "Then, heat up the milk."


    Qiao Xuan baked the cake and Sheng Qian heated up the milk. The two of them did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.


    "How about... You can go out first. The cake won''t be ready for a while. " Qiao Xuan suggested.


    Sheng Qian acknowledged her as he turned and walked out.


    When he arrived at the living room, he just so happened to see Sheng Liang come back, and called out with a smile: "Third Brother, you''re back."


    Upon entering the courtyard, Sheng Liang saw Sheng Qian''s car, so when he saw him, he was not surprised at all: "Are you looking for me, or for her?"


    Sheng Qian walked over and stood in front of Sheng Liang. He was still smiling like a fox: "Third brother, do you still remember what you said in Verona? I have decided now, I will promise you that."


    Sheng Liang chuckled and sat on the sofa. She crossed her legs and looked at him: "That phrase has already expired. You didn''t grasp the opportunity, so don''t blame me."


    At that time, he had told Sheng Qian that if he wanted Qiao Xuan, he could gift it to him.


    However, this was just an empty phrase. Moreover, it was something completely different from the past.


    But he never thought that Sheng Qian would actually come to find him for redemption. Could it be that this guy also had thoughts on Qiao Xuan?


    "Third Brother, we are well aware of the relationship between you two, Qiao Xuan is a good girl, she should not have become cannon fodder for the fight between us brothers." Sheng Qian spoke with a righteous tone.


    Sheng Liang snorted: "Fight? Sheng Hua is no longer qualified, and as for you, I do not think much of you. "


    It was the first time that Sheng Qian had seen such an arrogant Sheng Liang. His thin brows furrowed as he asked: "What do you mean, why do you mean that Sheng Hua is not qualified anymore?"


    "Did you see the news? The police in Southwest City found a case of drug trafficking across the city, and the drug manufacturing plant is located at the Sang City."


    Sheng Qian looked into Sheng Liang''s eyes, and his brain actually slowed down a bit: "Are you saying, behind the poison factory is Sheng Hua?"


    Sheng Liang only chuckled, and did not comment.


    This conclusion caused Sheng Qian to be slightly shocked, and he unconsciously said: "Old Gramps said before that anyone with Sheng Family would rather die than be infected by poison. Boss, this is suicidal."


    When Qiao Xuan carried his breakfast out, he saw that Sheng Liang was the only person in the hall.


    "Let''s go." Seeing the thing in Qiao Xuan''s hands, Sheng Liang said, "Coincidentally, I''m hungry, bring it over."


    Qiao Xuan placed it in front of him, but was secretly cursing in his heart. He purposely cooked for him but didn''t eat it, instead liking to steal from others.

 C59

    Qiao Xuan sat on the carpet in front of him. The commander, who was originally rubbing his feet against the carpet beside Sheng Liang, immediately ran over and leaned into her embrace.


    Qiao Xuan could not help but think of Qi Luo, and he wondered if the current scene was the same as before.


    "When you go to the company tomorrow, pay attention to Sheng Hua''s accounts. He should be starting to make mistakes." Sheng Liang said as he finished his milk.


    Qiao Xuan understood what he meant, because Sheng Hua had let her guard down, she became fearless, and said: "Alright."


    Sheng Liang stood up and was about to go upstairs, but he stopped midway and turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan: "Regarding Qi Luo''s matter, it''s fine if you listen to it, but don''t take it seriously.


    Hearing his words, when Qiao Xuan raised his head to look at him, he had already turned his head, leaving her with the view of his back.


    So Qiao Xuan did not see his expression, and did not know if what he said was true or false.


    However, even if they were to look at each other, it was likely that he would only have an indifferent expression. There would never be any other expression on his face.


    Also, he suddenly told her that, because he knew that Qi Chu told her about the relationship between him and Qi Luo.


    He didn''t want to admit it. Naturally, he had his reasons, but what he couldn''t refute was that he did lose control. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have allowed himself to get drunk.


    It was how he had sealed himself in a hard shell for so many years, not allowing anyone to spy on his fragility.


    Qiao Xuan had to admire him for being able to suppress his feelings for a long time and still act so relaxed.


    She couldn''t do it anyway.


    When Qiao Xuan got up and prepared to clean up the table, she heard that someone had come in from the door, but she did not panic, because she knew that those who could come in were people that Sheng Liang trusted.


    However, when she looked over, she was still a little surprised. This was because the one who came in was the Qing Qing who was working here before.


    Qing Qing saw the movements of Qiao Xuan''s hands, and immediately put down his luggage, then walked over quickly and said: "Miss Qiao, let me do it."


    Qiao Xuan had no choice but to retreat to the side. Seeing Qing Qing''s skilled movements, and the commander happily climbing onto her body, Qiao Xuan unconsciously asked: "I haven''t seen you in a long time, where did you go?"


    Before, Qiao Xuan thought that Qing Qing was the same as the maid from Sheng Family, but because he found out some sort of secret, he was dismissed by Sheng Liang.


    "Well, I went back to my hometown. Coincidentally, Mister said that you guys are going to Europe, so you can let me take my leave." Being tied up by the commander, Qing Qing could not move, so he put down the things in his hands, held onto the commander''s hands and laughed, "Did you miss me? I missed you a lot, and I even brought you delicious food. Let''s go, I''ll take it out for you."


    Seeing Qing Qing walk towards the Profound Entrance, with the commander following behind him excitedly, the scene was warm and harmonious. Qiao Xuan laughed to himself, thinking that this place finally looked like a home.


    After she finished packing her luggage, she thoroughly cleaned the entire house. Then, she called the driver of Sheng Liang''s car and had him come over to take her to the supermarket.


    Qiao Xuan happened to hear it and said to her: "I''ll go with you."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was adamant, Qing Qing could only agree.


    Actually, Qiao Xuan wanted to know what Sheng Liang''s usual preferences were. Qing Qing was definitely the clearest person.


    When they arrived at the supermarket and saw how harsh Qing Qing was when picking ingredients, they knew how picky he was about his diet. No wonder he ate so little recently.


    When they arrived at the raw and fresh area, Qing Qing saw the live Silver Carp and said happily: "Great, I can make Mister''s favorite Silver Carp Sting at noon."

 C60

    So it turned out that Sheng Liang liked to be prickly.


    Although Qiao Xuan did not eat Stabbing Body, she knew that Stabbing Body meant a lot to chefs, especially people like Sheng Liang who were picky.


    "The food you make must be delicious." Qiao Xuan praised from the side.


    Qing Qing was flattered by her, but she laughed and said, "No, I was actually very dumb before. It was Miss Qi Luo who taught me well."


    As expected, it was related to Qi Luo.


    Qiao Xuan had guessed it. How could such a cautious person like Sheng Liang leave a maid at home? It was because she knew about his and Qi Luo''s past.


    She really wanted to know what kind of girl Qi Luo was. She clearly had such a noble identity, but she seemed to know everything.


    There was definitely something special about the person that Sheng Liang couldn''t forget.


    "Qing Qing, can you tell me what kind of person Miss Qi Luo is?" Qiao Xuan looked at Qing Qing very seriously.


    "Huh?" Qing Qing scratched his head, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, but he did not know how to lie, and whispered, "Sir, you don''t want me to mention Miss Qi Luo, sorry Miss Qiao, if you want to know, ask Sir."


    That''s strange, he said.


    Qiao Xuan laughed: "No problem, I was just casually asking."


    After buying a lot of stuff to return to, he saw Sheng Liang in the living room. Qing Qing greeted him and brought everything back to the kitchen.


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to go as well, but was stopped by Sheng Liang, "That is not what you want to do. You should know why I brought Qing Qing back."


    Qiao Xuan stopped and turned towards him. As if he had endured for a long time, he finally spoke: "Sheng Liang, do you remember what you said you would discuss with me in the future? I know that you might not be able to do that in a short period of time, but I hope that you won''t make all of these decisions for me."


    She was here to cooperate with him, not be controlled by him.


    Sheng Liang looked at her for a long while before finally saying, "Sorry, maybe I''m already used to it. I will try my best to change it in the future."


    Since he had already said so, Qiao Xuan couldn''t just hold on. She said in a shallow voice: "Today is rest day, I don''t want to talk about work. I''ll go help Qing Qing."


    Seeing her turn around and walk in, Sheng Liang unconsciously let out a light sigh. She wasn''t Qi Luo after all.


    Qing Qing cooked a lot of dishes, saying that they were Sheng Liang''s favorite dishes, while Qiao Xuan stood at the side and could only help him, secretly remembering the key points of cooking these dishes.


    Although it might not be useful in the future, it was not a bad thing to learn it.


    Watching Sheng Liang eat, Qiao Xuan felt that it was a kind of enjoyment, and unknowingly learned how to eat from him. But she could not learn from the start, his grace and grace seemed to come from birth, and came from the depths of her bones.


    After eating, just as he was helping Qing Qing clean up the mess, Qiao Xuan suddenly felt a stomachache, and cold sweat immediately flowed down his forehead.


    Seeing her pressing her hand on her stomach with such a painful look, Qing Qing immediately ran over to support her. "Miss Qiao, what''s wrong?"


    Qiao Xuan was in so much pain that she couldn''t speak anymore. She bit her lips tightly, and her face turned pale white.


    Sheng Liang heard Qing Qing shouting and came in from the outside. Seeing Qiao Xuan, he immediately carried her and said to Qing Qing while walking: "Go and get a coat."


    Qing Qing replied and quickly ran out. She took Qiao Xuan''s clothes and covered her up, and when she saw Sheng Liang carrying her out, she knew that he was going to the hospital and quickly followed him.

 C61

    Carefully placing Qiao Xuan on the back seat, Sheng Liang let Qing Qing get in and said to her: "Let her lean on you and massage the acupuncture points on her knees. It should be able to relieve some of the pain."


    Qing Qing agreed, although she did not know, how did Qiao Xuan suddenly become like this.


    Sheng Liang quickly drove out, he did not dare to stop for even a second, even when there was a red light, he forced his way through.


    Qiao Xuan was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness. His entire body was covered in cold sweat, as if he was drowning.


    They quickly arrived at the nearest hospital. Sheng Liang opened the car door and carried Qiao Xuan out, running all the way to the emergency room.


    Hearing his description of the doctor, Qing Qing realized that Qiao Xuan''s stomach was already in a bad state, and she had even eaten a cold prick, that''s why she was like this.


    "Alright, I understand the situation. You guys can leave first." The doctor told Sheng Liang to have the nurse prepare for first aid.


    Sheng Liang and Qing Qing left the emergency room and stood outside the door. Qing Qing blamed himself: "If only I didn''t buy the flower silver carp, if only I didn''t prick them."


    Sheng Liang knew that it wasn''t her fault. She knew that he had a bad stomach and his body was cold, but she still ate it.


    Because of him.


    He had thought that saying those cold words to her would force her to back down, but it seemed to be in vain.


    He should have long thought that Qiao Xuan was different from other girls. She had her own judgement, so she wouldn''t suspect someone just because of what she saw and heard.


    When he met her, he didn''t even know if he should rejoice or worry.


    Qiao Xuan was pushed out of the emergency room into the ward, but she was still unconscious.


    For the entire afternoon, Qiao Xuan was unconscious, his face as pale as paper.


    "Sir, you should go back. You still have to work tomorrow, I''ll be here watching over Miss Qiao tonight." Qing Qing said softly to Sheng Liang when he saw that he was extremely tired.


    Sheng Liang did not respond, nor did he move.


    He looked at Qiao Xuan who was lying on the sickbed, and suddenly remembered the night when his drug addiction flared up, when they had kissed.


    It wasn''t the first time they had kissed, but it was the only time, and it made him want to go on.


    He wasn''t sure if he had treated her as Qi Luo at that time, he only knew that the feeling he had at that time wasn''t bad.


    In the end, Qing Qing had never opposed Sheng Liang and she went home alone.


    When the fluid in the bag was finished, Qiao Xuan also opened her eyes. The incandescent light illuminated the entire sickroom with a deathly white light.


    Sheng Liang reached out his hand, blocking the light. After letting Qiao Xuan adjust, he said lightly: "You can open your eyes now."


    Qiao Xuan heard his voice and turned to look at him. "Why are you still here?"


    "Don''t you want me here?" Sheng Liang retorted. Seeing a blush flash across Qiao Xuan''s pale face, he stood up and said, "If you don''t want to see me, I''ll let Qing Qing do it."


    "Sheng Liang!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Qiao Xuan immediately pulled his sleeves, and carefully looked at him, "Don''t go."


    Sheng Liang had purposely said that on purpose. Seeing her expression, her heart was moved and she slowly sat back down, putting her hand under the blanket: "What do you think, is it better now?"


    Although it was no longer painful, but after going through so much stomach washing, it still did not feel good. Qiao Xuan still nodded his head: "En."

 C62

    "Actually, you don''t have to be so reluctant." Sheng Liang looked elsewhere, as if he was talking about the lie she had just told him, but also seemed to be talking about other things.


    Qiao Xuan pulled his fingers under the blanket, forcing out a smile: "It''s my own problem, it has nothing to do with you."


    Whether it was today''s matter, or her inability to control the fact that she liked him, it was her own decision. She could not blame him.


    Sheng Liang retracted his gaze, looked at her, and did not know what to say for a moment.


    It turned out that the duller one''s feelings were, the deeper their feelings would be.


    Qiao Xuan could not eat, and Sheng Liang had always accompanied her here, unwilling to leave for dinner. Qiao Xuan did not want him to become hungry, so he said to Sheng Liang: "I''m a little hungry, how about you let Qing Qing cook some porridge and send it over."


    "Alright." Sheng Liang walked to the side and called Qing Qing.


    But they waited for a long time, but Qing Qing did not come. After a while, Luo Jie called Sheng Liang, smiled and said: "Young Master Liang, don''t wait, your pot is broken, you can''t boil the porridge, think of a way yourself."


    Without waiting for Sheng Liang to say anything, Luo Jie had already hung up the phone. Sheng Liang frowned, he knew Luo Jie was giving him another chance.


    This kid has been getting more and more presumptuous lately.


    But if they didn''t come, there was nothing he could do.


    "What''s wrong?" Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang with a face of helplessness, not knowing what had happened.


    "There''s something at home, Qing Qing can''t come." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan apologetically.


    "Then forget it, just listen to the doctor." Qiao Xuan laughed, then said: "You should go eat, don''t worry about me."


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, but he thought of something and said to Qiao Xuan: "Wait for me for a while." He quickly left the ward.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he was going to do. She wanted to stop him, but he was already gone.


    Qiao Xuan supported himself down from the sickbed and slowly walked to the window. Night had already fallen, and in the Nightless City called Sang City, the nightlife had only just begun.


    After waiting for almost two hours, Qiao Xuan thought that Sheng Liang had returned home. Suddenly, the door to the sickroom was pushed open, and Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang carrying a thermal container in.


    Sheng Liang walked to her side and pulled her back to the sickbed, "What are you standing here for?


    Qiao Xuan also didn''t say anything, she only looked at him. She really thought that he had left her alone in the hospital.


    Fortunately, it wasn''t.


    Sheng Liang opened the thermal container and scooped out a bowl of porridge. Then he gently stirred the porridge with his spoon: "It''s a little hot, be careful when you drink it."


    At this time, even if it was a restaurant, there should not be any porridge for sale. Qiao Xuan asked, "Did you run home to get them?"


    "No, it''s a snack bar on the west side of the street. That boss cheated me to be a laborer, so I came back late." Sheng Liang handed the bowl over to Qiao Xuan, glanced at her injured hand, and then pulled it back, "Let me feed you then."


    Even though he said it calmly, Qiao Xuan could roughly guess what it was. That boss''s business must be really good, so he agreed to cook porridge for him.


    Qiao Xuan''s nose felt sour, and her eyes immediately turned red. However, she didn''t want to be seen by him, so she hurriedly took the bowl from him and pretended to drink the porridge with her head lowered, letting the heat from the bowl engulf her vision and staining her eyelashes with a layer of mist.

    Luo Jie and Qing Qing arrived the next morning. Seeing Sheng Liang''s cold expression, Luo Jie chuckled. "Young Master Liang, you definitely didn''t sleep well last night.


    Sheng Liang took his jacket and walked out, his voice was cold as he said, "You can go to sleep now, there''s no need to go to work in the future."


    Luo Jie blinked twice, and reacted to what he was saying. He immediately chased after him: "Young Master Liang, don''t be like that."


    Seeing that Qing Qing also believed it was true, Qiao Xuan laughed: "Sheng Liang is joking."


    It was clear that Luo Jie was someone who would rarely trust Sheng Liang, how could he let him off just because of such a small matter?


    However, it seemed like he and Qing Qing also had their own stories.


    After observing her for another day in the hospital, Qiao Xuan got Qing Qing to complete the discharge procedure for her.


    It was almost noon by then. As she walked towards her office, she could feel that something was wrong with the company''s atmosphere.


    "Ma Ma, what happened at the company?" Qiao Xuan asked the assistant at the entrance of her office.


    Xiao Ma looked at the side and mysteriously pulled her inside, and even carefully closed the door before whispering, "These past two days, you were not here. Fourth Young Master helped the police solve a drug trafficking case, but it was said that the person behind the scenes was related to Eldest Young Master."


    Qiao Xuan was startled. She had a rough idea of what had happened, but she pretended that it was none of his business. "Drug trafficking? If you don''t have a definite answer, don''t spout nonsense. This is the chairman''s family matter, so be careful not to lose your job. "


    Xiao Ma realised something at this point and immediately shut his mouth. After a while, he moved closer to Qiao Xuan and said: "Looks like CEO Qiao, your initial decision was correct, your Sheng Family is going to change. Perhaps, you really are the third son that was able to reach the end."


    Qiao Xuan''s face froze for a moment: "Do you know what you''re saying? If you don''t know, don''t casually guess. If I were to know that you''re talking to others about this, then you don''t have to stay in this business anymore."


    If these words were to reach Sheng Tianhao''s ears, all of Sheng Liang''s previous efforts would have been in vain.


    Xiao Ma could see that Qiao Xuan was really angry, she swallowed with much difficulty and retreated a few steps, "I understand, Director Qiao."


    "Go to the project department and compile all the reports from the past year. Then, do a detailed summary. I hope to see it before we get off work today." Sheng Liang had said that in these few days, Sheng Hua would probably start to loosen up. She should be able to figure out something from the accounts.


    After Xiao Ma went out, Qiao Xuan pondered for a while before going to Sheng Liang''s place.


    Now, everyone in the company knew of her relationship with Sheng Liang, so she did not care about what others thought of her.


    She knocked on the door and entered. Sheng Liang stood in front of the french window with his back to her and looked even more dejected when the light shone against him.


    He didn''t look back, but he knew who it was. He whispered, "The game has begun, but we might not win."


    Qiao Xuan had already guessed that although Sheng Qian had detonated the explosive, the one who had ignited the fuse must be Sheng Liang.


    "What are you worried about?" Until now, wasn''t everything still under his control?


    Sheng Liang turned around and slowly walked towards Qiao Xuan. Then, he stood still in front of her: "He is more terrifying than what we have imagined. I will die. "


    Hearing the sadness in Sheng Liang''s voice, Qiao Xuan subconsciously grabbed his arm. "Sheng Liang ¡­"


    Seeing her so nervous, Sheng Liang laughed softly. "From the moment I started on this matter, I knew what the result would be, but you are different. Qiao Xuan, you still have a choice.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what kind of obsession was in Sheng Liang''s heart, to actually be able to cause him to die.


    With Sheng Hua here, she and her family would not be at peace.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I am the same as you, I have no choice."


    Sheng Liang looked at her. Sometimes, he felt that he also couldn''t understand Qiao Xuan, but he didn''t want to understand it. Naturally, he had his reasons for what everyone was doing.


    "In the future, we will try our best to go in and out of the same room together. Sheng Hua that man, although he seems gentle and refined, he is actually a mad dog who can do anything." Sheng Liang frowned, feeling a bit worried.


    Qiao Xuan was rather indifferent, she had already died once, this life was for the sake of taking revenge on Sheng Hua.


    "I''m not afraid of anything, as long as you promise to protect my family well." Because he knew that Sheng Liang would definitely keep his promise, Qiao Xuan only wanted those words of his.


    Sheng Liang said without too much hesitation, "I promise you."


    Just like two people who shared a common goal of life and death, Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan did not say anymore words, but there was something that seemed to be spreading in their hearts.


    Qiao Xuan''s cellphone suddenly rang, and she picked it up while Xiao Ma was speaking anxiously, "Director Qiao, where are you? Come back quickly, our computer has been hacked, all of the data on it is gone!"


    Sheng Liang was right beside Qiao Xuan, so he heard it clearly. After Qiao Xuan hung up the phone, he said lightly: "He has already begun to make his moves."


    Qiao Xuan turned around and walked out: "I need to report to the board of directors, he cannot cover the sky with one hand."


    Sheng Liang immediately held her back: "Don''t do useless things, although you are responsible to the board of directors, my father is on Sheng Hua''s side, so the chances of us convincing the other board members is not high."


    Even if Sheng Tianhao strictly forbade anyone with Sheng Family from getting infected, when it comes to Sheng Hua, Sheng Tianhao would definitely still protect him.


    He didn''t even hesitate to kill everyone who knew about it.


    "Then what should we do? We can''t just sit and wait for death." Qiao Xuan was anxious.


    Sheng Liang thought for a while and said: "Go find Sheng Qian, tell him that you have Sheng Hua''s evidence on drug trafficking."


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was talking about the thing that Sheng Hua had always wanted from her. She softly replied, "But I don''t know where it is."


    She didn''t know how the so-called evidence had come to be in her hands, but she had no impression of it.


    "It doesn''t matter where you are, as long as Sheng Qian is willing to help you, it''s fine. Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "There''s only one thing, no matter what others say, you have to believe me."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, of course she would believe in him, she had never doubted this.


    When Qiao Xuan went to Sheng Qian''s place, he was flirting with the new secretary. Sheng Hua''s matter did not seem to have any effect on him.


    Seeing her, Sheng Qian immediately pushed the secretary away, walked over and smiled: "You''ve decided to change your mind?"


    "I have an obsession with cleanliness. I don''t like my man to be ambiguous with other women." A playboy like Sheng Qian was not something she could control.

 C64

    Sheng Qian squinted his slender eyes, and said with a voice full of bewitchment: "So you like my third brother''s type of celibacy? Maybe he doesn''t like women at all. "


    Qiao Xuan looked up at him, "I came to tell you that the thing that you have been wanting to obtain from me all this while, is now known to me as evidence that you can convict Sheng Hua."


    Sheng Qian''s eyes instantly became dangerous, but then he laughed: "My third brother also wants to use me as a spear, I''ve already helped him open the way, what''s left, let him do it himself."


    Last time, Sheng Liang had purposely mentioned the matter of the poison factory in front of him. Although he knew that it was Sheng Liang''s scheme in his heart, he had his own considerations and everything would be fine, so if he were to touch his father''s reverse scale again, no matter how much attention he received at Sheng Family, he would definitely suffer a miserable ending.


    Furthermore, since Sheng Liang was no longer hiding, when Sheng Liang and Sheng Hua fight to the death, wouldn''t he be able to reap the rewards?


    Qiao Xuan''s reaction was already within Sheng Liang''s expectations. Their goal was not to see what he was going to do, but to let some people hear the news.


    Sure enough, someone had snuck into her apartment that night.


    She and Sheng Liang sat in the hidden carriage, watching those people come out before reporting to the person in the other carriage.


    There was a sudden flash of lights and a lot of police officers got out of the car and surrounded the car.


    When Sheng Liang saw that the person who had gotten off that car was indeed Sheng Hua, he let out a light breath and then drove away.


    On the way back, Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang''s expression, and didn''t seem to relax in the slightest. He unconsciously asked: "Are you still worried?"


    "It''s not that he can be convicted just like that, it''s just that he can buy us some time." That person was Sheng Hua, he would not easily admit it, and furthermore, he had the support of Sheng Family.


    Although Sheng Tianhao did not allow anyone from the Sheng Family to be infected, but even more so, he would not allow anything to happen to Sheng Hua.


    Of the four of them, Sheng Tianhao could abandon anyone except Sheng Hua, whom he would never abandon.


    As for the reason, it was probably something only Sheng Liang knew.


    After sending Qiao Xuan home, Sheng Liang didn''t get out of the car. Instead, he said to her: "Go and sleep, I still have things to do, and might not be back tonight."


    "Sheng Liang!" Seeing that he was about to close the car window, Qiao Xuan immediately called out to him, "Be careful."


    Sheng Liang nodded, he rolled up the window and the car quickly disappeared into the night.


    Qiao Xuan turned and slowly walked back. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head and saw Luo Jie and Qing Qing welcoming her.


    "Why are you here?" Qiao Xuan regretted it immediately after asking this question. Of course, it was for Qing Qing, so he did not wait for his answer and continued to walk back.


    Luo Jie said from behind: "The Young Master Liang asked me to protect the Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Xuan fiercely turned his head to look at Luo Jie. "Protect me?"


    "Yeah, he said something might have happened tonight." Seeing Qiao Xuan''s nervous expression, Luo Jie also realized the truth and worried, "Then is it ¡­ Young Master Liang is in danger too? "


    Qiao Xuan quickly took out his phone to call Sheng Liang, but his phone was already turned off.


    He must be going to do something dangerous, so he was worried that Sheng Hua would cause trouble for her. That''s why he sent Luo Jie to protect her.


    He had planned it from the beginning, but he hadn''t revealed it to her.


    "Then what should we do?" Qing Qing asked in fear as he exchanged glances with Luo Jie. Then, the two of them looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan''s mind was in a mess, she didn''t even know what Sheng Liang was going to do, so she couldn''t think of any way to help him.


    But she suddenly thought of a person and immediately asked Luo Jie: "Do you know where Qi Chu''s home is?"


    "Master Qi?" Luo Jie immediately understood what Qiao Xuan meant, he looked at the time and said, "At this time, Master Qi should not be home, but I know where he is."


    After leaving Qing Qing at home, the two of them got on the car and quickly left the villa.


    Outside a high levelled clubhouse, Luo Jie stopped the car, looked at the bodyguard at the door, and said with difficulty: "There are no membership cards here, we can''t even enter."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the door. Could it be that they could only wait?


    Seeing that a man and a woman were able to get in, the bodyguard did not check the woman''s membership card. Qiao Xuan asked Luo Jie: "Is it free for ladies here?"


    "Yeah, but ¡­" Luo Jie had guessed what she was thinking, but even she herself was unable to enter, so before he could finish, Qiao Xuan had already pushed open the door and stepped out.


    Under the light of the scenery outside the clubhouse, a man was making a phone call. Qiao Xuan walked over and asked lightly: "Hello, are you a member of the club?"


    The man sized Qiao Xuan up from head to toe, and said without revealing any emotions: "Yes, Miss, is something the matter?"


    "I want to go in and find someone, but I can''t get in. Can you help me?" Although Qiao Xuan wasn''t very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, she knew that talking to a man like that was extremely dangerous, but she couldn''t think of any other way.


    "Of course." The man said as he gestured towards Qiao Xuan.


    After following the man to the door, the bodyguard let him in, and after entering, Qiao Xuan took a step back and said: "Thank you, I''m going to look for my friend."


    "Don''t worry, maybe your friend is my friend as well." The man extended his hand and grabbed Qiao Xuan''s wrist, it happened to be the hand that was previously injured by her.


    Qiao Xuan moaned in pain, his face was pale. "Let go of me!"


    How could the man be willing to let go? Smiling, he said, "You''re giving me a treat, yet I still welcome you."


    "If you don''t let go, I''ll scream for help." Qiao Xuan raised his voice, in an attempt to attract other people''s attention. At least, this man would have something to worry about.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s angry expression, the man''s face also changed. He increased his strength even more, "Aren''t you here to find a man?


    The man said while dragging Qiao Xuan and walking towards the private box in front.


    The more Qiao Xuan struggled, the more pain his arms would feel. Cold sweat dripped from his head, and he could only follow the footsteps of the man.


    Reaching the entrance of the private box, the man simply grabbed Qiao Xuan''s neck and pushed her in.


    Qiao Xuan knew that once she entered this door, she would be done for, so she held onto the door frame tightly. No matter how the man tried to break it, she did not let go.


    I gave you face, "the man fiercely grabbed onto Qiao Xuan''s hair and said coldly," Of all the women that I, Zhao Liu, have taken a liking to, no one would dare say no to me.


    "Do you know who I''m looking for? His name is Qi Chu and he''s the mayor''s son!" His fingernails were broken from using too much strength, and blood started to seep out, but Qiao Xuan still did not dare loosen his grip.


    The man was stunned for a moment before he snorted, "The mayor''s son? Even if you were looking for the President of the United States, I wouldn''t be afraid! "

 C65

    "Really? Boss Jin sure is rich." A man''s voice came from the side.


    When Qiao Xuan heard this voice, she immediately became happy. She turned her head and saw Qi Chu walking towards them.


    The man naturally saw it too. His expression changed, and he immediately let go of Qiao Xuan''s hand. "Master Qi ¡­"


    Qi Chu had already walked in front of them, and said in his usual humble tone, "I thought Boss Jin didn''t know who I am."


    The man nodded and smiled awkwardly, "I thought she lied to me in the name of Young Master Qi."


    Qi Chu no longer looked at him, and asked Qiao Xuan softly: "How are you, are you hurt?"


    Qiao Xuan held onto her arm and shook her head. She didn''t have time to argue with people who had nothing to do with her, "Master Qi, I''m looking for you.


    Qi Chu nodded, and brought Qiao Xuan to the exit, and when he turned, he looked at the people beside him.


    Just as they walked out of the clubhouse, a pig-slaughtering howl came from inside. Qiao Xuan instinctively wanted to turn around and look, but Qi Chu reached out to stop her, "Stop looking, it''s fine, just teach him a lesson, let him know that he can''t touch my person."


    Qiao Xuan turned and looked at Qi Chu. His face was still calm and gentle, but the words he said caused her to shiver.


    However, Qiao Xuan could understand, people with status like them had to have the ability to intimidate others.


    Seeing them come out, Luo Jie quickly ran over. He was waiting anxiously outside and almost charged in.


    "What is going on, why is Sheng Liang not here?" Qi Chu swept a glance across them and asked.


    Qiao Xuan''s expression darkened, and said dejectedly: "He told me that he had something to do, so he couldn''t contact me anymore. I guessed that it had to do with Sheng Hua, so I wanted to ask if you know where he could have gone to."


    Qi Chu''s eyes turned, he was silent for a moment, then said: "If that''s the case, then that''s bad, Sheng Hua anxiously jumped over the wall, he is definitely waiting for him to fall into our trap."


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan became even more worried: "Then what do we do?"


    "How about this, I''ll go and find a few friends on the streets to ask, to see if anyone knows where Sheng Hua''s factory and warehouse is, I think Sheng Liang probably went to these places." Qi Chu said as he took out his phone to search for his number. Seeing them looking at him expectantly, he said, "You guys can go back first, I''ll inform you guys when there''s news."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say something, but seeing that Qi Chu was already on the phone, he walked towards his car.


    "Miss Qiao, then let''s return. This place is not safe." Luo Jie said to Qiao Xuan.


    Staying behind would not help him in any way. Qiao Xuan nodded.


    When the car had just driven out, a car suddenly stopped in front of them. Luo Jie was shocked, he braked abruptly and was unable to hit the car.


    The person in the car opened the car door and got off. Using the light of the car lamps, Qiao Xuan saw that the person who was walking towards them was Sheng Qian.


    He walked over to Qiao Xuan, opened the car door and pulled Qiao Xuan out without saying anything.


    "Fourth Young Master, what are you doing?" Luo Jie also quickly got out of the car, and wanted to stop her.


    Sheng Qian did not look at him, but still pulled Qiao Xuan and walked forward, while shouting, "This has nothing to do with you!"


    "Sheng Qian, what are you doing? Where are you bringing me?" Qiao Xuan struggled for a while, but did not struggle free, and asked Sheng Qian.


    "Don''t look for Sheng Liang, follow me home." Sheng Qian''s expression was completely different from usual, serious.


    Qiao Xuan exerted his strength and shook off Sheng Qian''s hand. He took a few steps back and said, "It''s my business, you don''t have to worry about who I look for. Also, like I said, you''re not my type."


    Sheng Qian looked at her as if he was helpless before laughing: "Qiao Xuan, why are you so naive? Do you really think Sheng Liang is some good trash?


    Qiao Xuan lowered his eyebrows. "I know, it was my own will."


    Sheng Qian did not express his astonishment, but continued on: "But you do not know, that the piece of evidence you obtained was not Sheng Hua''s, but his."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was moved, but he continued to persevere: "That has nothing to do with me."


    Maybe Sheng Liang knew that someone would say all these in front of her before he confirmed it again and again, making her believe him.


    Therefore, no matter what Sheng Qian said, Qiao Xuan would not believe him.


    Sheng Qian let out a heavy sigh, "The medicine he gave you is really heavy. Qiao Xuan, your parents are in his hands, right? Don''t tell me they''re safe because he''s not the one threatening you yet. Have you noticed the building opposite our company? Do you know who owns the new company? It''s Sheng Liang, did he get a shock? When I first heard it today, I was also shocked, I really can''t believe that he actually saved up such a big secret after enduring for so many years. "


    Speaking of that building, Qiao Xuan remembered that Sheng Liang had been looking at that building during the meeting and asked if it was very spectacular.


    Could it really be his?


    "Qiao Xuan, don''t you think that compared to Sheng Hua, he''s actually more terrifying?" Seeing that Qiao Xuan was silent, Sheng Qian walked closer to her, "You''ll soon know what he went to do tonight."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers secretly clenched. She did not want to believe Sheng Qian''s words, but there were many things just like what Sheng Qian had said. She had to admit that even now, she could not see through Sheng Liang.


    When he went back, Qiao Xuan leaned on the car window, looking at the streets filled with neon lights. In this world filled with dog like voices and horses, was there any trust or true feelings between people?


    "Miss Qiao, what did the fourth young master say to you?" Luo Jie sensed that Qiao Xuan was not in a good mood, and probed him with a question.


    "Nothing." Qiao Xuan was still looking outside.


    Luo Jie knew that something was up, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan directly went upstairs and closed the door to her room, she walked to the bookshelf and took down the half filled oil painting and laid it on the table. Scenes of her days in Europe appeared in her mind, especially the scene when he kissed her.


    Qiao Xuan lifted his hand and slowly swiped his finger across the corner of his lips. It seemed as if his aura and temperature were still there.


    After mixing the paint, she slowly drew. She would wait for Sheng Liang to come back, unless he personally told her personally, she would not believe that anyone would slander him.


    But she did not expect Sheng Qian''s words to be true. On the second day of the news, there was the news of Sheng Liang''s detention.


    Sheng Liang was charged with several counts of drug trafficking, smuggling, and killing. In front of the camera, he appeared to be slightly tired, but his eyes were still indifferent, and the expression on his face was still calm as usual.


    As Qiao Xuan watched on, he unconsciously felt his heart ache. He should have expected this kind of situation, that''s why he had arranged for Luo Jie to protect her before he left.


    Then, he chose to take the risk alone.

 C66

    "Young Master Liang!"


    "Mister!"


    When Qiao Xuan heard the overjoyed voices of Luo Jie and her, he immediately ran out of the room and looked down while holding on to the railing. Seeing that Sheng Liang had really returned, he was filled with joy.


    Sheng Liang was also at the center of the living room. She stood one step away from him, looking at his slightly haggard face, her heart filled with a lot of words. But when she reached her mouth, she only asked: "Are you alright?"


    Thank you for helping me find Qi Chu. I''m a little tired, so I''ll go up to sleep first. Sheng Liang seemed to not even have the strength to speak, and directly went upstairs after speaking with Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at his back, feeling that he was about to lose control of the emotion that filled his chest.


    "Last night, he was interrogated for an entire night. Let him sleep well, you guys don''t have to disturb him." Qi Chu sighed as he entered from the door.


    Only then did Qiao Xuan know that it was Qi Chu who had saved Sheng Liang. She bowed to him deeply and said, "Thank you, Master Qi."


    Qi Chu looked at her for a while, the meaning in his eyes unclear. Then, he smiled and said: "You don''t need to help him thank me, I did it for my sister."


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, it was only when Qi Chu left the room did she react, the joy in her heart instantly disappearing.


    That''s right, Qi Luo had only gone missing, there would still be a day when she would come back.


    Even though Qi Chu had said before that he hoped that she would be together with Sheng Liang, how could he really forget about his sister?


    The one who could not forget Qi Luo, was Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang slept for an entire day, and when he woke up, it was already dusk. He walked to the window, opened the curtain and saw Qiao Xuan sitting on the lawn in the courtyard with the Commander in his arms.


    She was wearing a lotus root dress, with her ink black hair draped over her shoulders. She was quiet and beautiful, especially looking at Qi Luo from his angle, her back looked extremely similar to Qi Luo''s.


    But Sheng Liang knew that he wasn''t. Qi Luo would probably never come back.


    Seeing him standing on the doorstep, looking in the direction of Qiao Xuan, Qing Qing, who was chasing and fighting with Luo Jie, immediately went to call Qiao Xuan.


    Sheng Liang immediately did a hush motion, and Qing Qing did not shout, and only pulled Luo Jie away.


    Sheng Liang slowly walked over and sat beside Qiao Xuan. When she turned her head over, he suddenly grabbed her hand.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him, "Sheng Liang ¡­"


    Sheng Liang looked at the band-aid on her finger and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"


    Feeling a little disappointed, Qiao Xuan took his hand back, and shook his head: "It''s just my fingernail that''s broken."


    "Next time, don''t do something so risky. Luckily Qi Chu appeared in time, otherwise ¡­ The consequences are unimaginable. " That kind of outcome was not something that Sheng Liang could bear.


    Qiao Xuan lowered his gaze and chuckled: "Then what about you? You said that you would discuss everything with me, but you never did it once. I know I don''t have the ability and I can''t help you with anything.


    Qiao Xuan seemed to have made a great decision. After he finished speaking, without even waiting for Sheng Liang''s reaction, he stood up and turned to walk in.


    Sheng Liang was still in his original position, but when she was about to take a step forward, he grabbed her hand: "Sorry, there won''t be a next time."


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes were a little wet. She tried her best to hold it in so that her tears wouldn''t fall.


    But she knew that she was nothing to him, and he had only said that out of respect for his partners.


    But even so, it was enough. She wouldn''t be too harsh on him.


    "Where did you go last night?" Qiao Xuan sat down again and looked into the distance. She knew that Sheng Liang would probably not answer her, she was just casually asking.


    Unexpectedly, Sheng Liang said in a low voice: "Someone sent me an anonymous email saying that they found Sheng Hua''s poison factory."


    Anonymous email?


    Qiao Xuan turned and look at Sheng Liang: "Who is that person?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang had always been a cautious person. Even now, he might be a little anxious, but he wouldn''t casually believe a stranger.


    "Secret." Sheng Liang did not bother to hide it, "Forgive me for not being able to answer this question."


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything more, and did not ask him about the result of his actions. The fact that he was sued, proved that there was a problem.


    Qiao Xuan thought about what Sheng Qian had said to her and unconsciously felt conflicted in his heart.


    She believed in Sheng Liang, but believing in him didn''t mean that he was the same as she thought he was.


    Moreover, Sheng Liang''s goal was so strong, so in order to reach it, there was a possibility of him doing anything.


    Sheng Liang was restricted from travelling, and outside the door, there seemed to be a police monitoring him.


    Qing Qing did not know what happened and went out to buy vegetables as usual. When he returned, he would grumble: "Who are the neighbors here and what other things do you want me to buy?"


    They were all silent, only Luo Jie comforted her and said: "You must be a nouveau riche, you have never seen anything before, learning from you, which means your taste is better than theirs."


    Qing Qing was successfully amused.


    Sheng Liang always stayed in his room, and he didn''t know what she was doing. Occasionally, Qiao Xuan would hear his voice on the phone, but it was as if he had intentionally lowered his voice so that she couldn''t hear a single word.


    That day, Sheng Hua suddenly called Qiao Xuan. She looked at the name on the screen and hesitated for a while.


    "Whose number?" Sheng Liang appeared behind her and went over to pour a cup of water.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, wanting to seek his opinion. "It''s Sheng Hua."


    "Answer it. Let''s see what he has to say." Sheng Liang sat on the sofa and drank while looking at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan slowly opened the answer button, and asked softly: What are you looking for me for?


    "Qiao Qiao, can we meet up? I have something to tell you." Sheng Hua started to pretend to be gentle.


    "If you have something to say, just say it on the phone. It''s not convenient for me to go out right now." It would never be a good thing to meet him, let alone at a time like this.


    He was silent for a moment, then said, "You still don''t know what we want from you, do you? I can tell you now, do you remember when you picked up a backpack in the company elevator? It was a basketball."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat. What Sheng Hua meant was, that basketball was what they were looking for?


    "You know what I''m trying to say, right? You gave your brother the basketball, and your brother is now in my hands." Sheng Hua snickered a little complacently.


    Qiao Xuan almost shouted, but when she saw Sheng Liang looking at her, she immediately held herself back and pretended to hang up: "He''s just here to show off, don''t bother with him. I''ll go and see if Qing Qing has finished eating."


    After finding an excuse to leave in a hurry, Qiao Xuan hid himself in the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Only then did he warn Sheng Hua in a low voice: "Don''t think you''re lying to me, unless you let me hear my brother''s voice. Otherwise, I won''t believe you!"

 C67

    She and Sheng Liang had just went to see her family and she had also seen how safe it was for Sheng Liang. Now that Sheng Hua said that Qiao Nan was in his hands, what right did she have to believe him?


    "Do you think that Sheng Liang protected them very well?" Sheng Hua scoffed, "He did that on purpose for you to see, I didn''t even bother to capture Qiao Nan."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not believe him, Sheng Hua took out his phone and opened up a video. From the video, Qiao Nan could be seen tied to a chair, his mouth was stuck to the tape, and his entire face was covered in blood.


    "Nan..." Qiao Xuan bit his lower lip and clenched his fists tightly. However, when he spoke to Sheng Hua again, his tone was visibly weaker: "What do you want me to do?"


    "Come out, I have something for you." Sheng Hua said complacently when he heard her compromise.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to go out and buy something, and arrived at the rendezvous point with Sheng Hua.


    Sheng Hua took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and handed it over to her. "As long as you let Sheng Liang eat this, I''ll let him go."


    "What is this?" Qiao Xuan was a little apprehensive.


    "Don''t worry, they won''t die." After Sheng Hua finished speaking, he straightened his clothes, turned around and left, "I advise you not to question Sheng Liang, he won''t admit to it, he''ll instead make your parents even more dangerous."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the small glass bottle, and slowly clenched his fist.


    When she went back, she saw Sheng Liang standing under a hibiscus tree in the courtyard. Purple red flowers, green leaves, and he was dressed in black, which added to the paleness of his face.


    Qiao Xuan held onto the bottle in his hand and placed it back into his pocket. He walked over and asked: "What are you doing here?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer, but said: "The sky is cold, we should find someone to wrap around these trees."


    Sheng Liang did not say much useless words, and was not too worried about the small matters in the family, so when Qiao Xuan heard him say this, he did not understand what he was trying to say.


    However, no one was able to guess his thoughts.


    Returning to her room, Qiao Xuan sat on the side of her bed and looked at the small bottle in her hands. She knew that it was definitely not a good thing and it would definitely have a great effect on Sheng Liang.


    She swore in her heart that she would never betray Sheng Liang, what''s more, how could she help Sheng Hua deal with him.


    But Qiao Nan was in Sheng Hua''s hands, she knew him too well. If she did not do as he said, he would definitely kill Qiao Nan.


    In her previous life, she did not protect her family. In this life, she could not let her little brother get hurt again.


    She had never thought of making a choice between Sheng Liang and her family because they were the most important people to her.


    How could the heavens be so cruel? They had to make her make such a difficult decision.


    Qiao Xuan opened that video and looked at the Qiao Nan in it. His entire body was covered in blood, and although she didn''t know what he had experienced, her tears unconsciously fell.


    Qiao Xuan continued to look at it, keep looking, then his eyes suddenly flashed, looked at the bottle beside his hand, and held it tightly in his hand.


    Before he left, Qiao Xuan took a cup of coffee and said to Sheng Liang: "I grinded the coffee when I woke up in the morning. I hope that in the future, I can grind it for you every day."


    "Thank you." Sheng Liang took it from her hand, glanced at it, and then took a sip.


    Qiao Xuan watched as he finished drinking and took a deep breath.


    When Qiao Xuan and the others arrived, Sheng Hua and his people were already seated in the spectator''s seats. Before the court session, Sheng Hua even turned to look at Qiao Xuan, as if to confirm that she had not done as he said.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, but did not reveal any expression.


    Hearing the prosecution''s explanation, Qiao Xuan realized that Sheng Liang went to a warehouse at the dock that night. Inside the warehouse, other than finding drugs, there were also smuggled guns.


    Most importantly, when the police arrived, two of them were dead, and Sheng Liang had a gun in his hands.


    Although he never admitted it, there were only him and the two dead men there, and his fingerprints were on the gun.


    As if all the evidence was against him, I looked at him with some concern, but his face remained impassive.


    "Attorney General, I''d like to call a witness to testify that the suspect was killed in a fit of rage after taking a new type of meth." The prosecutor looked at Sheng Liang.


    "Permission to testify in court."


    Seeing that it was Sheng Hua who stood up and walked to the witness stand, Luo Jie immediately became anxious. He leaned over and whispered to Qiao Xuan: "What do we do, Young Master Liang must have been plotted against by them."


    Qiao Xuan finally understood that the thing that Sheng Hua had given her that day was some kind of new drug, and he wanted to prove Sheng Liang''s innocence.


    What they didn''t expect was that Sheng Hua actually showed them a surveillance video, which proved that the first time he drank red wine mixed with ice poison was in a bar.


    Naturally, the Procurator asked the medical personnel to draw Sheng Liang''s blood for analysis.


    Seeing that Sheng Hua was so confident of victory, Luo Jie muttered unhappily: "It''s already been a few months since Young Master Liang was set up for drug abuse. The blood test can''t reveal anything, how did this young master dare to frame him like that."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang, his head lowered, without a single emotion on his face.


    "Because two days ago, Sheng Hua had me put that in his wine." Qiao Xuan''s voice was light and shallow, completely devoid of any emotion.


    Luo Jie almost stood up from the ground. He looked around, then forced himself to endure, staring straight at Qiao Xuan as he said in a low voice: "Miss Qiao, how can you treat Young Master Liang like this!"


    Qiao Xuan did not explain himself and only looked at Sheng Liang without blinking. Luo Jie was angry but he could not do anything.


    After the results of the analysis, Sheng Liang''s blood was not poisoned, he was shocked and immediately looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, but she was not afraid at all.


    Sheng Liang''s defence lawyer Lu Liang immediately stood up and said: "Since there isn''t any drug abuse, then my client''s motive for killing people while he is still conscious doesn''t exist. He has no reason to shoot the prosecutor before the transaction, and the so-called ''underling'' that is to say, the so-called evidence, may also be planted by someone."


    Lu Liang held up a report for everyone to see, "Attorney General, this is the hospital''s injury assessment. It is evidence that my client was attacked from behind on the neck and lost consciousness when he entered the warehouse. I am sure that someone shot the deceased after my client fainted and then put the gun in my client''s hand. "


    The attorney general said, "Please pay attention to your wording. Don''t let your imagination run wild."


    Lu Liang nodded his head and said, "I''m sorry, but this wasn''t my imagination. It was a reasonable speculation. Although there was no monitoring the warehouse, a car was parked outside and the driver''s recorder on the car just happened to record the situation."


    Lu Liang handed a USB drive to the scribe, who immediately connected it to the computer. The screen then displayed the scene.


    It was clear to see that after Sheng Liang went in, there was a person who followed behind him. That person also went in and took a wooden stick at the door.


    Furthermore, with Sheng Liang''s evaluation of his injuries, it should be possible for it to be the same situation as before.


    Sheng Hua''s expression had already changed, he was startled and angry, and then he gave a signal to the prosecutor. The lawyer immediately wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Liang.


    "I''m sorry, I haven''t finished speaking. We still have another witness, and his appearance will definitely clear up the situation. We''ll see who''s wrong and who''s wrong."


    Just as Lu Liang finished speaking, Sheng Hua did not have any reaction, but Sheng Liang who was always calm suddenly spoke out: "Procurator, I am not feeling well, please adjourn for now."


    After consulting with the prosecutors, the prosecutor allowed his request.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was brought out, Qiao Xuan immediately stood up and ran out as well.


    At the door of the Rest House, Qiao Xuan heard that Sheng Liang was talking to Lu Liang, so she did not go in.


    "Young Master Liang, you did it on purpose just now, right? We were clearly going to win if we continue our chase, why did you ask for an adjournment?" Lu Liang asked, unwilling to give up.


    Sheng Liang looked at him with an aggressive gaze: "I said before, that person can''t testify in court, even if we lose today, we can''t compensate him."


    Lu Liang smiled helplessly, "I didn''t force him. He volunteered. He wanted to save you. Don''t you understand?"

 C68

    Sheng Liang narrowed his eyes, "It''s enough for one of us to get involved."


    Lu Liang opened his mouth, but he hesitated. He then stood up and said, "You can tell him these words yourself. You two have the same stubborn temper, but I can''t convince him."


    Lu Liang walked out of the door, looked at Qiao Xuan who was standing outside, and left in large strides.


    Although the door was open, Qiao Xuan still knocked on the door. Seeing that Sheng Liang had turned around, she walked in: "Are you alright?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her, then said lightly: "Can you do me a favor? Once Luo Keke is back, call her and ask her to go shopping, take her to a place where she can''t get any messages on her phone, and go right now."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he was going to do, but since he said it so urgently, it must be something very important. She didn''t even ask and immediately walked out.


    She called Luo Keke. Luo Keke felt that it was unexpected, but he was still happy and immediately agreed.


    Qiao Xuan had agreed to meet with her at an underground shopping mall, and after entering, Qiao Xuan specifically looked at his phone. There was only one set of signal, so he should not be able to get a call.


    But Qiao Xuan usually did not shop much, and did not know how to hold Luo Keke''s hand to pass the time. Luckily Luo Keke said that she was a little thirsty, and the two of them sat in a coffee shop to chat.


    From the looks of it, Verona''s matter did not have much of an impact on Luo Keke anymore.


    "I''ve been busy ever since I got back, so I didn''t have the time to see you guys. How are things going with you and A''Liang?" Even though Sheng Liang told her not to drag Qiao Xuan in, she still had hope and wanted to bring the two of them together.


    From the looks of it, Luo Keke still did not know that something had happened to Sheng Liang, so Qiao Xuan did not say anything, and only smiled: "What can we do, it''s still the same as before."


    Luo Keke sighed: "He, in terms of emotions, is really too slow."


    Qiao Xuan lowered his gaze, and laughed bitterly: "It''s because there''s still someone in his heart."


    Luo Keke froze for a moment. She thought that Qiao Xuan did not know about this, so he intentionally avoided her.


    "Actually, we don''t know what he was thinking in his heart. When Qi Luo had just gone missing, the Qi family had searched for him, but he was unmoved, because Qi Chu had even fought against him. However, one time when he was driving home, he actually directly crashed into a bridge railing. When we rushed over, he was standing alone on the bridge, looking at the river surface, his eyes did not have any light, only four words can describe him, and that was that he had nothing to live for. Only then did we know that he had truly fallen for Qi Luo. " Luo Keke explained slowly, his tone filled with regret.


    Qiao Xuan only listened by the side, and from start to end, his face had that kind of calm expression. She had already seen how deep Sheng Liang''s feelings for Qi Luo went.


    He was such a cautious person, yet for Qi Luo''s sake, he actually drank himself to such a state, completely ignoring his own safety.


    "However, Qiao Xuan, all these years, the Qi family has used all of their power, but could not find Qi Luo. We all thought that she was already gone, so you still have a chance." She didn''t care about immorality. If a person missed out on the relationship they thought was the most worth fighting for, then they would live in regret for the rest of their lives.


    Qiao Xuan was not a weak woman, she would definitely not choose to do that.


    She didn''t want to give up, but she wasn''t sure if she really had that much determination to wait.


    After walking around in the shopping mall for a bit, there was nothing much to go around anymore. Qiao Xuan looked at the time and realized that it was about time, so he did not stop Luo Keke from returning.


    Just as they walked out of the underground shopping mall, Luo Keke''s phone received quite a few messages. She took it out to take a look and muttered: "Why is he calling me so many times?"


    Seeing Luo Keke dial back the number and her tone of voice, Qiao Xuan knew that it was Mo Lin.


    She suddenly understood that Sheng Liang would rather be accused than let that witness in court be Mo Lin.


    He had deliberately allowed her to bring Luo Keke out, but at the same time, made it impossible for them to contact him.


    Sheng Liang also told Lu Liang that out of the two of them, one of them would be enough.


    Just what kind of relationship did they have to be able to make Sheng Liang nervous to such an extent?


    Qiao Xuan still remembered that when he was in Italy, Mo Lin didn''t know that she had called him Old Third in Sheng Liang''s room. It seemed that such a term was only used between brothers.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to continue guessing, but she knew there was no point. If Sheng Liang wanted her to know, then he would naturally tell her. He didn''t want her to know, so what if she guessed right?


    The most important thing now was whether Sheng Liang had succeeded in clearing the charges.


    "I got it, let''s go back now." Luo Keke was overjoyed, he hung up and said to Qiao Xuan, "A Liang is fine now, Mo Lin said he wants us to go back and celebrate together."


    The sudden pleasant surprise caused Qiao Xuan to be stunned. He only regained his senses after a while, and immediately ran towards the stop.


    Luo Keke smiled at her from behind. At least one person was interested in her, so there was hope for this matter.


    Along the way, Qiao Xuan was excited to the point that he couldn''t wait to grow a pair of wings and fly back.


    When they arrived outside the villa, Qiao Xuan saw a car parked not far from the entrance, and the person leaning on the door of the car was Sheng Hua.


    Seeing her return, Sheng Hua calmly walked to the middle of the road and stared at her.


    Qiao Xuan understood that he was here to denounce her, she could not hide.


    Qiao Xuan got off the car, and let Luo Keke drive the car in, but Luo Keke did not stop him. She knew that even if the two of them were to fight, Sheng Hua would not be their match.


    "Qiao Xuan, for a man, are you not even going to care about the lives of your family members?" Sheng Hua coldly said as he watched her approach.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "If you really had the ability to capture Qiao Nan, perhaps I would really do as you say. Unfortunately, that person was fake."


    When she first saw the video, she was indeed shocked, but she quickly realized the flaw. That person''s body was indeed very similar to Qiao Nan''s.


    However, Sheng Hua was too careless. He did not know that Qiao Nan always liked to tie the shoelace on his right leg inversely, but that person''s shoelaces were the same.


    Sheng Hua still did not know how she saw through his words in such a short period of time. He clenched his teeth and looked at Qiao Xuan: "You must have made up your mind to go against me, Qiao Xuan, I''m telling you, whoever offends me will not have a good ending."


    "Then let me tell you, I''m not afraid." Qiao Xuan fearlessly looked at him, a sliver of detachment that seemed to be able to see through everything in his eyes.


    Sheng Hua glared at her fiercely before driving away.


    Qiao Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, she turned around and was about to go in, but then she saw Sheng Liang standing at the door.

 C69

    Sheng Liang leaned against the wall filled with green vines, his hands in his pockets as he looked at her. The paleness and emaciation on his face now looked more like laziness, and was even a little satisfied.


    Seeing that he was fine, Qiao Xuan also rejoiced in his heart. Furthermore, he had personally run out, and was definitely worried that Sheng Hua would make things difficult for her.


    She walked slowly towards him, unable to control the joy on her face. "It''s great that you''re fine."


    "I want to thank you for bringing Keke out. Thank you for unconditionally trusting me." Sheng Liang''s words came from the bottom of her heart. If she had been a little hesitant at that time and wasted no time, the consequences would have been the one he didn''t want to see the most.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything, but she was weighing the pros and cons. If Sheng Hua really captured Qiao Nan, she would definitely save him.


    So in truth, she should also thank Sheng Liang. It was because he had truly protected her family that she didn''t have to worry about him.


    When they went in, Qiao Xuan saw that Luo Jie and Mo Lin were both there. Qing Qing had already cooked a table full of dishes and Luo Keke was helping as well, so everyone was smiling brightly.


    Seeing Mo Lin take out a bottle of red wine from the ice bucket and pouring it into his Awakening Wine, Sheng Liang walked over and sat down: "You can only drink a cup, and have Luo Jie send you to the hotel."


    Morin looked at him with dissatisfaction. "I finally returned home, but you let me stay in a hotel? You have so many rooms, you can just pack one for me. "


    Sheng Liang snatched the wine cup from his hand, took a sip, and said lightly: "I''m not used to having others at my house."


    Mo Lin turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan. He wanted to say: "Could it be that Qiao Xuan is not some other person?"


    Qiao Xuan might really be someone else.


    Qiao Xuan rarely saw Sheng Liang bickering with others. Although it was not as intense as her and Qiao Nan, it was still very warm.


    She suddenly had a thought: Mo Lin, could he be Sheng Liang''s brother?


    But of the four brothers in Sheng Family, other than Sheng Hua and Sheng Qian, the only one that survived was Sheng Yan.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked by his own thoughts. Impossible, according to the servants of Sheng Family, they had all seen Sheng Yan''s corpse at that time.


    But when this idea popped up, Qiao Xuan could not suppress it, but if Sheng Liang did not say so, she would definitely not dare to ask.


    After dinner, Luo Jie sent Mo Lin and Luo Keke off, and the house returned to its original tranquility.


    Qiao Xuan helped Qing Qing pack his things, but after looking around, he could not find Sheng Liang. He pushed open the door, and saw him sitting on the stairs outside, with the commander squatting beside him.


    Sheng Liang didn''t drink much, but his eyes were a little blurry. Qiao Xuan knew that he was thinking about Qi Luo again.


    Hearing a voice behind him, Sheng Liang knew that it was Qiao Xuan. He softly said: "Sleep early, we''ll go to the company tomorrow. There are a lot of things that we have to take care of."


    That''s right, today the two brothers Sheng Family were facing off against each other in court. Although the evidence was insufficient and both of them were fine, but the media will definitely make things more interesting, and at that time, the stock market will definitely be affected.


    Qiao Xuan took a coat and draped it over his body. "You should also go to sleep early."


    No one knew what unforeseen event would occur tomorrow.


    Qiao Xuan had originally thought that after such a huge incident, Sheng Tianhao would definitely not be able to tolerate Sheng Liang anymore, and that he would be forced out of the board of directors.


    But unexpectedly, Sheng Tianhao did not say anything, and even helped Sheng Liang to argue on behalf of the board of directors, causing them to agree to it. As long as Sheng Liang could raise the price, they would let bygones be bygones.


    "The chairman is actually willing to help you this time." Qiao Xuan had personally witnessed Sheng Tianhao''s attitude towards him, so he felt that it was even more inconceivable.


    Sheng Liang''s expression was still indifferent, he looked at the big board and said: "He is not helping me, he is only using me, we are only helping Sheng Hua, so Sheng Qian has never cared about the company''s matters, he is just hanging up his reputation."


    "So that''s how it is." She used to think that Sheng Qian only knew how to eat, drink and play, and was a typical good-for-nothing. When she came into contact with him later on, she realized that he was not.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was busy, Qiao Xuan did not disturb him and walked out of his office, closing the door softly behind him.


    She turned around, and suddenly saw that someone was standing right behind her. She was shocked, and upon seeing that the person behind her was Sheng Qian, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Sheng Qian smiled charmingly, as usual. "I see that you''re so serious, I''m too embarrassed to disturb you."


    Qiao Xuan blushed a little, and then quickly walked to the side. "Weren''t you looking for Sheng Liang?


    "Why would I look for him? I''m looking for you," Sheng Qian followed and blocked her way, "Let''s go to the bar tonight. I''ve learned a new song and I''ll sing it for you."


    Thinking back to the last time when he was drunk, Qiao Xuan felt extremely humiliated, so he decided not to start off by saying, "I won''t drink anymore in the future."


    "Alright, then let''s eat together. I''ve booked a table and called you. If you don''t come, then I''ll wait for you." Sheng Qian looked straight into Qiao Xuan''s eyes, forcing him to look straight into his own eyes.


    He did not laugh, his long and narrow brows were filled with seriousness, causing Qiao Xuan to feel guilty, she quickly looked away and said: "I have something to do tonight."


    "I don''t care. I will wait until you come." Sheng Qian said in a willful manner. After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Qiao Xuan''s response and already left. With his back facing Qiao Xuan, he waved his hand, "I won''t be able to see you."


    He was always like this, and Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to refuse. But a man like Sheng Qian, he had never lacked women, and would definitely not care about whether she went or not. Maybe the moment he turned around, he would forget about her.


    Because of the public opinion, Golden Age''s stock fell very badly, and the people of the stock market were also panicking, with people constantly throwing out stocks.


    There were also people who organized their own demonstrations in front of the company. For a time, the situation went out of control.


    As a result, Qiao Xuan''s workload also increased. Even after work, she still had not finished.


    As expected, Sheng Qian sent her a message and sent her the address of the restaurant. She looked around and was just about to reply when she heard someone knocking on her door, raised her head and saw that it was Sheng Liang, then put down her phone.


    "I might have to work overtime tonight, so you should leave first." Qiao Xuan said to Sheng Liang.


    "It''s alright, I''ll wait for you." Sheng Liang looked outside and said, "Otherwise, let''s go eat first and then come back to continue working."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, "Sure."


    They did not walk too far before they reached a Chinese restaurant beside the company. Sheng Liang helped Qiao Xuan order some dishes, they were all light taste vegetarian dishes.


    "Do you take me for a little white rabbit?" Qiao Xuan laughed. "You seem to enjoy Japanese cuisine, why have you brought me here?"

 C70

    Sheng Liang poured some tea for the two of them, and did not look up: "You have a bad stomach, it''s better to eat something light."


    It was just a simple sentence, and Sheng Liang probably didn''t mind it too much, but when Qiao Xuan heard it, he couldn''t help but think of it.


    But she knew that that was impossible. Sheng Liang had simply treated her as a friend.


    The phone rang again. Qiao Xuan took a look and saw that it was Sheng Qian''s phone. He was already at the restaurant.


    "What''s wrong?" Seeing Qiao Xuan staring at his phone in a daze, Sheng Liang asked lightly.


    Qiao Xuan immediately kept his phone: "Nothing."


    After the two of them finished eating, an hour had passed. Hearing that it seemed like thunder outside, Sheng Liang said, "Let''s go back, it''s going to rain in a while."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, picked up his bag and followed him out, but who knew that the moment he went out, the rain had already started to fall.


    Although it was not pouring rain, it was already past dawn. Once it rained, the temperature would plummet, causing Sheng Liang to tremble as he took off his jacket and draped it over her.


    Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked at him, wanting to reject him, but Sheng Liang held his hands down: "Wear it, don''t catch a cold."


    Although it was very close, it was still a distance away from the company. Sheng Liang looked at the pouring rain and said to Qiao Xuan: "Don''t work overtime tonight, I''ll drive the car over here and then go home."


    Qiao Xuan also felt that it was impossible to work overtime, but even if they went to the car park, it would still rain. She subconsciously grabbed Sheng Liang''s clothes and said, "How about we wait for the rain to subside before you drive?"


    Sheng Liang did not object, the two of them stood outside the cafeteria under the awning, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness between heaven and earth.


    "It''s raining. Let''s go." A few couples came out, each holding up an umbrella, and ran in different directions.


    Seeing them push and squeeze each other just now, Sheng Liang unconsciously pulled Qiao Xuan closer to him. When they left, the two of them realised that their bodies were already sticking together.


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan swept his hair and stealthily dodged to the side.


    Sheng Liang noticed her movements, but did not say a word. When she turned her head, something flashed past her eyes.


    The phone in Qiao Xuan''s bag kept on ringing, but the rain was too loud for her to hear.


    "Did you guys not take the umbrella? There''s only one left in the store, you guys can take it." The manager of the restaurant came out, holding an umbrella in his hand, he gave it to Sheng Liang.


    They looked at each other, thanked the manager, and Sheng Liang said: "Wait here for me, I''m going to drive."


    When Qiao Xuan wanted to give him the outer garment, Sheng Liang had already rushed into the rain. However Qiao Xuan saw from behind that the rain was too heavy, the umbrella would not be able to help him at all, causing Sheng Liang''s clothes to instantly become completely wet.


    Qiao Xuan stood in place, looking at the place where Sheng Liang had already disappeared in the heavy rain, and he couldn''t say what he felt in his heart.


    After waiting for a while, Sheng Liang drove the car over, holding onto the umbrella as he took Qiao Xuan over, trying his best to not let her get drenched by the rain.


    Sheng Liang was drenched from head to toe, even though there was a warm wind blowing on the carriage, Sheng Liang''s lips were almost transparent.


    However, he still gave a towel to Qiao Xuan: "Wipe your hair dry, be careful not to catch a cold."


    Qiao Xuan received it, but did not move it for a long time.


    "What''s wrong, why haven''t you ¡ª" Sheng Liang was just about to ask Qiao Xuan why he did not wipe them dry, but before he could finish, he was suddenly kissed by Qiao Xuan.


    In just that one moment, Qiao Xuan immediately let go of him. Her heart was thumping loudly like a drum.


    Sheng Liang was stunned by her sudden movements. Seeing her sitting at the side, his hair became a little wet, and his jacket that was originally draped over his shoulders also fell to the side due to her actions just now.


    He slowly moved his gaze away and looked at the rain curtain shining on the lights in front of him. He said in a low voice, "If there''s nothing to be done, then it''s better not to do it. You know, I have someone I like."


    Qiao Xuan forced a smile, but she still said: "I think clearly, liking you is my problem, you don''t have to worry about it."


    "Qiao Xuan ¡ª" Why would she have to go through so much trouble?


    "Alright, let''s drive." Qiao Xuan interrupted him. What she could give him was only the last bit of dignity.


    Sheng Liang frowned, but did not say anything in the end. He understood in his heart that Qiao Xuan was not someone he could control.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan took a shower and changed clothes. Only when she laid on the bed did she suddenly remember about Sheng Qian, she immediately took out her phone and saw that there were more than 20 missed calls. Just as she was about to call them back, her phone rang again.


    It was already this time of the day, and it was still raining. Was he still waiting for her?


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly answered, but the voice that came from the other side was not Sheng Qian''s, but an unfamiliar man: "May I ask if this is Lady Qiao Xuan?"


    Who are you? Where is Sheng Qian? Hearing the other party''s tone, Qiao Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.


    "I''m with the traffic police. Mr. Sheng is in the hospital with a head injury and is undergoing surgery. Can you come over for a moment?"


    Hearing the traffic police''s words, Qiao Xuan''s mind buzzed, and immediately said: "I''ll go over right now!"


    She never would have thought that Sheng Qian would actually wait for her the entire time. Because it was raining and she encountered a car accident.


    She changed into a set of clothes and ran down the stairs, coincidentally met Sheng Liang head on. Seeing her flustered look, Sheng Liang asked: "Did something happen, where are you going?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t have time to reply, he only said: "Let me borrow your car for a while."


    When she said that, she was already at the door. Sheng Liang didn''t even have the time to ask her to hold the umbrella.


    When Qiao Xuan arrived at the hospital, he was completely drenched, and his hair was still dripping with water.


    At the door of the operation room, the traffic police saw Qiao Xuan and came over to ask: "Is this Miss Qiao?"


    Qiao Xuan''s lips were numb from the cold and she was unable to say a single word.


    "Well, his car was parked by the side of the road and he was on the phone in the car and a truck skidded and hit him and he fainted. "We looked at his phone and saw that the numbers were all yours, so we called you. We brought the driver to the traffic police, if your family has any problems, come and find me there. This is my phone number." The traffic police took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Qiao Xuan, then saluted to her, "I''ll be leaving first, contact me if there''s anything."


    Just as the traffic police left, the door to the operation room opened too. Sheng Qian was pushed out.


    The nurse asked: "You are Sheng Qian''s relative right?"


    Qiao Xuan was still hesitating on how to reply, when Sheng Qian said in a weak voice: "She is, you guys can tell her anything."


    At a time like this, how could he still have the heart to take advantage of her? However, looking at the thick gauze wrapped around his head that was leaking out dark red blood, Qiao Xuan restrained himself and said: "I am."

 C71

    After following the nurse to pay for the hospital, and listening to her talk about other matters, Qiao Xuan returned back to the ward, and saw Sheng Qian leaning on the bed with her eyes closed, recuperating. Upon hearing that she had returned, he immediately opened his eyes: "Your heart is really vicious, even in such a heavy rain, you still didn''t answer the phone."


    Qiao Xuan placed his medicine on the table, sat on the side of the bed, and said while looking at him: "I''m sorry, I didn''t know that you were speaking the truth."


    Sheng Qian sat up and looked at her: "You think I''m a playboy, don''t you? Qiao Xuan, listen, I will tell you this once, I like you. I want to chase after you. "


    Qiao Xuan looked up in shock. Seeing his serious expression, he unconsciously pulled back a little.


    Sheng Qian used his bandaged hand to hold her back, "Do I look like I''m joking?"


    However, the more it was like this, the more Qiao Xuan wanted to escape away from him. "But I don''t like you, stop wasting your effort."


    "I know you like my third brother, but it doesn''t matter. I will wait for you to have enough trouble with him and give up. Then, willingly come to my side." Sheng Qian said very confidently.


    When she talked about Sheng Liang, Qiao Xuan''s expression immediately turned dejected. She had indeed bumped into a wall at his place, but she still couldn''t give up.


    In her previous life, she had been married to Sheng Hua for a year, but she didn''t feel that kind of attachment to him, yet even if it was just him mentioning his name, she couldn''t help but feel a surge of emotion.


    She was too deep, she thought.


    But even though she knew there was no end to it, she didn''t want to accept someone else. She couldn''t do it.


    Seeing her absent-minded, Sheng Qian suddenly laughed: "You''re really dumb, with your intelligence, it would be weird if Sheng Liang took a fancy to you."


    Qiao Xuan looked at him in shock: "Were you lying to me just now?"


    "Otherwise, do you think I really like you?" Sheng Qian pointed to the water cup, signalling Qiao Xuan to pour some water for him, "Don''t you know, I only like women with big breasts."


    "Sheng Qian!" Hearing his later words, Qiao Xuan almost splashed water on his face.


    Sheng Qian smiled craftily like usual. "Don''t be angry, I didn''t say that your breasts are small, but if you want to grow bigger, I can help you."


    "Scram!" Qiao Xuan glared at him angrily, she grabbed her pillow and covered his face, this man''s mouth was simply asking for too much.


    Sheng Qian struggled a few times before he stopped moving.


    Qiao Xuan was so scared that he quickly moved the pillow away. Seeing Sheng Qian lying there motionlessly, it was as if he couldn''t even hear his breath.


    "Sheng Qian, don''t play dead. I know you''re lying to me again!" Qiao Xuan dared to probe for his breath, but it seemed to be gone.


    This time, Qiao Xuan was really panicking, he shook him and said, "Sheng Qian, wake up, I''m sorry, I''m sorry ¡­"


    She had forgotten. No matter what, he had just been injured. How could she mess with him like this?


    Qiao Xuan stood up, and just as she was about to go call the doctor, a hand was suddenly pulled. She still did not understand what happened, and after a moment of dizziness, she was already pressed down by Sheng Qian when she regained her senses.


    She stared at him with wide eyes, not realizing how dubious their position was. "Are you lying to me again?"


    Sheng Qian was about to laugh at her miraculous attention. He used his fingers to slowly wrap around her hair, with happiness in his eyes and an ambiguous tone: "What you should be worried about now is that you will be eaten by me soon."


    He was so close to her that their noses were almost touching, and his breath tickled her face.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly reacted and immediately wanted to get up, but both of Sheng Qian''s hands were still supporting her sides. The moment she moved, her body came into contact with Sheng Qian''s, and the two of them seemed to be touching.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned yet again, and then, she suddenly pushed Sheng Qian away. Hearing the sound of Sheng Qian''s breath being sucked out, she did not care about it, but just as she was about to flip off the bed, her entire body froze in place.


    She saw Sheng Liang standing at the doorway, looking at her.


    Sheng Qian noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Xuan, and when she looked over, she saw Sheng Liang turning around and walking away.


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to give chase and explain his situation to Sheng Liang, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.


    "I didn''t do anything to you just now. Why don''t you explain it to him?" Sheng Qian intentionally said to Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan sighed softly, "I''m not even someone like him. Even if we did something to protect him, he wouldn''t mind."


    Sheng Qian looked at her, his slender eyes slightly narrowing as if he had thought of something. He then said to her, "Why don''t I help you, and let him know that you''re competitive?


    Qiao Xuan ignored him. She stood up and said, "Since you have nothing to do, I''ll be going now."


    As Sheng Qian looked at her soulless appearance, he couldn''t help but sigh to himself. Love was indeed the best way to kill someone.


    Qiao Xuan walked out of the hospital, but just as she was about to go down the stairs, she was pulled by someone. She turned her head, and saw that it was Sheng Liang.


    She had thought that he had left long ago, and now that she saw him, she was filled with a myriad of thoughts.


    Sheng Liang also did not say anything, he only gave her the jacket to wear, and said indifferently: "Your clothes are all wet, let''s quickly go back."


    "Sheng Liang, Sheng Qian and I ¡­" Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but want to clarify with him, "Nothing at all."


    Sheng Liang was silent for a good while, before saying: "In the future, you should stay far away from him, but don''t misunderstand, this is just a suggestion from a friend of mine, you can ignore it."


    Even so, Qiao Xuan was satisfied. At least she knew that Sheng Liang was still worried about her, if not he would not have braved the rain to come over.


    "Let''s go." Sheng Liang opened his umbrella and pulled Qiao Xuan closer to him.


    When Qiao Xuan saw half of his shoulder being drenched in the rain, she felt a little pained. She kept getting closer to him, almost pulling him into her embrace.


    The warmth of his body reassured her. Although there was a lot of wind and rain outside, she could still clearly hear his heartbeat. It was as if they were the only two people left in the world.


    The next day, the rain passed, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of being washed by the rain.


    When Qiao Xuan went downstairs, he saw that Sheng Liang was already in the dining hall.


    "Good morning, Miss Qiao." Qing Qing walked over and placed her breakfast on the table.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the light blue apron on Qing Qing''s body in shock. Wasn''t that Qi Luo''s apron, when Sheng Liang said that she would throw it away, it was because she did not want to see others wearing it.


    Qing Qing saw that Qiao Xuan was looking at her the whole time, and his gaze was strange. He unconsciously lowered his head and looked at his body: "Is there anything on my clothes?"


    "Nope." Qiao Xuan felt a little awkward and hurriedly lowered his head, but he still noticed that Sheng Liang was looking at her.

 C72

    Before she could ask, Sheng Liang spoke out first: "Let''s change clothes in a while. Wear more formal clothes. We''re going to the television station today."


    "Me?" Qiao Xuan looked at him in disbelief, "How is it that I don''t know when it''s decided?"


    "I just decided. I was supposed to go, but I think it''s more appropriate for you." Looking at Qiao Xuan''s stupefied expression, the corner of Sheng Liang''s mouth unconsciously raised to form a perfect curve. But he quickly realised, and quickly looked away as he drank a mouthful of coffee.


    But when Qiao Xuan saw it, she realized that he also knew how to laugh.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan went upstairs to change his clothes. After changing a few pieces, Sheng Liang was finally satisfied.


    It was a financial program. The opinion of the company was to let Sheng Liang go on the show and explain the recent situation of the company so as to recover some of the losses on the stock market.


    However, when he saw Qiao Xuan this morning, he changed his mind temporarily.


    Qiao Xuan was the company''s chief financial officer, and was very professional in this area. As long as she entered her work state, she would have a sense of superiority that others couldn''t help but admire.


    The robe Sheng Liang had given her was a beige one. It did not have any extra embellishments, it was simple and steady, and coupled with her calm and collected temperament, even the female host sitting beside her lost her luster.


    For the sake of the program''s effects, the television station had even invited two famous economists from Sang City to discuss the economic development of Sang City with Qiao Xuan, and even gave them different positions to debate on, the more intense the better.


    But even between two men, Qiao Xuan''s words were not inferior in the slightest. There were even a few times when the two experts were rendered speechless, and even the director couldn''t help but cheer for her.


    Sheng Liang was watching everything from beside the monitor. He could clearly see every expression on her face.


    In such a short period of time, from the initial nervousness to the ease and dexterity, she quickly adjusted herself without the slightest bit of fear.


    When the recording was finally completed, Qiao Xuan walked down the stage. Without looking sideways at all, he directly walked in front of Sheng Liang and asked softly: "How is it, did I screw it up?"


    "No, you did very well," seeing that Qiao Xuan was relieved, he added, "better than anyone else."


    Qiao Xuan was a little embarrassed from his praise, her face slightly blushed: "Then that''s good."


    After leaving the television station, Sheng Liang went to get his car, while Qiao Xuan waited for him by the side of the road.


    "Aiya, Miss Qiao, you are really too awesome. Why didn''t I know that Golden Age Heavenly Peace had such a beautiful CFO like you?" One of the experts walked over while praising and extending his hand, "Let''s get to know each other again. My name is Xie Run, and I''m a professor in the finance department of Sang City University. I hope that I can discuss this with Miss Qiao when I have time."


    Qiao Xuan politely shook his hand, but when she wanted to retract it, she realised that Xie Run did not intend to let go at all. She tried her best to retract her hand, but maintained a polite smile on her face, "Thank you for your praise.


    "No, no, I heard that the Miss Qiao is Dr. Hai Huai, he really lives up to his name." Xie Lun smiled, and looked at Qiao Xuan with eyes full of undisguised desire.


    Sheng Liang just happened to see this scene when he returned. He got off the car, walked over and blocked Qiao Xuan''s path, then looked at Xie Lu and said: "Sorry, we still have things to do. We''ll be leaving first."


    As he spoke, he had already pulled Qiao Xuan to the side of the car. Qiao Xuan heard Xie Lu snort coldly from behind: "What kind of nonsense are you putting on such a show for, do you really think you''re some young master of a Wealthy Class? You''re just a bastard born of a lunatic, acting pretentious in front of me, pui!"


    When Qiao Xuan heard Xie Lu insult Sheng Liang like this, she immediately let go of Sheng Liang''s hand and walked back to Xie Run, saying in a serious tone, "Please apologize to him immediately."


    Unexpectedly, Xie Run tidied up his suit and disdainfully said, "I apologize to him, he deserves it! Do you even know what you are! "


    "You ¡ª ¡ª" Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to say something, he saw a shadow flash in front of him, and by the time she could see clearly, Xie Lu had already been knocked down to the ground with one punch from Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, and only punched towards Xie Run, as if he wanted to beat him to death.


    Xie Lu''s nose and mouth were bleeding, his eyes were also green. He wailed in pain, but his mouth was still cursing, "Sheng Liang, you are a bastard, you dare hit me, I will make you lose your reputation!"


    Originally, they were at the entrance of the television station, but after hearing Xie Lun''s howls, several reporters came out and started to madly beat up Sheng Liang who was beating him up.


    Qiao Xuan knew that the situation was bad and immediately ran over and pulled Sheng Liang along: "Stop fighting, let''s go."


    Pulling Sheng Liang onto the carriage, Qiao Xuan sat on the driver''s seat and quickly drove away.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at Sheng Liang. He was wiping the blood on his hands, looking disgusted, but his originally indifferent eyes had now turned terrifyingly gloomy. Qiao Xuan asked softly: "Are you alright?"


    Sheng Liang did not reply, he only leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.


    Looking at his expression, Qiao Xuan felt both heartache and remorse. If she had not paid attention to Xie Run just now, Sheng Liang would not have had to help her, and he wouldn''t have been humiliated by Xie Run.


    And what made her even more worried was that Sheng Liang had taken a photo of him beating someone up. Who knew how he was going to stir up such a ruckus.


    After returning home, Sheng Liang went upstairs. Qing Qing wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Qiao Xuan.


    "What''s wrong, sir? He doesn''t look too good." Qing Qing said worriedly.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to explain it to her, he only said: "Help me call Luo Jie and have him come over here. I have something to tell him."


    Qing Qing did not know what happened, but seeing Qiao Xuan''s serious expression, he immediately went to make a call.


    Luo Jie came quickly, and seeing Qiao Xuan waiting for him in the courtyard, he hurriedly asked: "What happened, I heard Qing Qing say ¡ª"


    Before he finished speaking, Qiao Xuan immediately interrupted him and said: "Go and check it out. There is a professor at Sang City University named Xie Run.


    Although Luo Jie did not know why Qiao Xuan asked him to investigate, he still nodded.


    Qiao Xuan continued, "You left Master Qi''s cell number for me last time, right?"


    Luo Jie gave Qiao Xuan his cell number, then went to find out what she had told him.


    Qiao Xuan called Qi Chu, hoping that he would help her and communicate with the television station, to see if they could suppress the matter of Sheng Liang hitting people.


    Qi Chu heard the whole story from Qiao Xuan, and his tone turned serious: "I''m afraid it''s not easy to handle, do you know who Xie Run is? His father-in-law is a real estate crocodile with Sang City, he eats both black and white, even my father has to give him face."


    Qiao Xuan did not know that there was such a thing going on inside, and said with difficulty: "Then what do we do, we must not let the television station expose us, or else Sheng Liang will be in trouble."

 C73

    "Unless he doesn''t allow the television station to report." Qi Chu said, seemingly unintentionally.


    How could Xie Run do such a thing? He said that he would make Sheng Liang lose all his reputation.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xuan stood there dumbly in the courtyard, not knowing what else she could do.


    This matter had arisen because of her. If Sheng Liang were to bear the consequences of his infamy, and if his identity were to be dug up once again, becoming the topic of idle banter amongst the masses, she would never be able to forgive herself.


    Hearing someone call her, Qiao Xuan turned around and saw Sheng Liang standing at the room''s window. He said to her, "Come up."


    Qiao Xuan went up the stairs and pushed open the door to his room. Seeing that his expression had returned to normal, he did not say anything.


    "Who were you talking to just now? Qi Chu? He can''t care less about this matter." Sheng Liang buttoned his shirt, "I will think of a way myself."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say what else he could think of, but he saw him take his jacket calmly, as if he was going to go out. Qiao Xuan immediately asked: "Where are you going?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer and directly walked out. When he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to Qiao Xuan to say: "I''ll go look for Mo Lin, I won''t be going to the office in the afternoon. If you have anything to say, give me a call."


    Seeing him leave, Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment. Was he trying to explain his previous journey to her?


    After eating lunch, Qiao Xuan went to the company''s entrance and when she reached there, the assistant told her: "Director Qiao, Director Li said that he will be waiting for you at the office."


    Qiao Xuan did not have any connections with any of the directors, so she could not think of the reason why Director Li was looking for her.


    Knocking on the door of the meeting room, Qiao Xuan saw Director Li and two other directors sitting at the table, talking about something.


    "Joe, come in and close the door." Director Li waved at her.


    Qiao Xuan closed the door and walked over, then greeted them and asked: "Why is Li Dong looking for me?"


    "You and Sheng Liang went to the television station to record the program this morning, right?" Director Li asked softly, looking at her.


    Seeing that they were all looking at her, Qiao Xuan was a little perturbed in his heart, as if he could guess what they were going to say.


    The few of them looked at each other, the atmosphere was a little heavy. Then, it was Director Li who said to Qiao Xuan, "That Xie Run, sent the news of Sheng Liang beating him to the internet. There are also photos of him on the internet.


    Qiao Xuan frowned, lowered his head and said, "It''s all because of me. Xie Lun was rude to me, that''s why Sheng Liang hit him."


    "Others won''t be able to see the truth. They only saw Sheng Liang hitting the old man, and the effect was very bad. We greeted the major websites, but they refused to delete it. They even said that the general public had the right to know. The other one was so sensible and hot-tempered that he immediately cursed.


    Qiao Xuan looked at them. She had already understood in her heart what was going on, but she still asked: "Then, what do the directors intend to do?"


    "Originally, this is a matter of the Sheng Family, so the chairman will handle it, but once it concerns the interests of the company, we cannot let them do as they please. After discussing it, we hope that Sheng Liang can voluntarily withdraw from the board of directors and give us his ownership." Director Li said, looking embarrassed.


    Qiao Xuan sneered, she finally understood that in the end, this was Sheng Hua''s intention, these few people were all his supporters.


    "For this matter, we will think of a way to eliminate its effects. It won''t harm the company, and it definitely won''t harm your interests. So, I will pretend that I didn''t hear what you guys said to me today. I still have to leave first." Without waiting for them to react, Qiao Xuan had already opened the door and went out.


    It was clear that he was just a blood brother, must Sheng Hua kill all of Sheng Liang? Last time, he failed to frame him, but this time, he used an opportunity to force him out of the board of directors!


    Regardless of whether it was for her, or for Sheng Liang, this time, she would definitely not let Sheng Hua succeed!


    Qiao Xuan let his assistant come in and said: "Go to the Sang City University and ask around, see which hospital the Finance Department''s Professor Xie Run is in."


    Hearing that, the assistant''s eyes lit up, he then walked a few steps towards Qiao Xuan and whispered: "Could it be that the article on the internet is real, and that Young Master Liang really hit that professor?"


    Qiao Xuan rarely went online, so she did not know that this matter had really affected her so much.


    "To do your thing." Qiao Xuan suppressed his emotions and lightly said. He then opened his phone and looked at the hot news.


    No matter how much he tried to suppress them, it was useless. At this rate, everyone would know by nightfall.


    Unless he asked Xie Lu to change his words.


    The assistant quickly found out the location of Xie Run''s hospital, and immediately drove after Qiao Xuan received the call.


    She asked about Xie Run''s ward at the nurses'' station and stood at the door to confirm that Xie Lu was the only one inside before entering.


    "Professor Xie." Qiao Xuan called out softly from beside the sickbed when he saw that Xie Run had his eyes closed.


    Xie Lun opened his eyes and saw her. A clear flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hardened his face. He coughed lightly and said, "What are you doing here? See if I''m dead or not?"


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly placed the nutrition he bought on the road onto the table, then forced a smile and said, "Professor Xie, I am here to apologize to you. We didn''t do well and caused you to get hurt.


    "What''s the use of you apologizing? Where''s that brat Sheng Liang? Why didn''t he come?" Xie Run showed an unrelenting attitude.


    Qiao Xuan was already mentally prepared for him to say that, but he maintained his smile and said: "He has matters to take care of, I am here in place of him. If you have any anger, you can vent it on me."


    Xie Lu snorted. "I want him to kneel down and admit his wrongs. Can you make him do that!?"


    Needless to say, Sheng Liang would not agree to let Sheng Liang suffer such grievances. Seeing that Xie Lun was deliberately making things difficult for him, Qiao Xuan did not try to be nice to him and asked indifferently: "Besides this, what other methods do you have to stop pursuing the matter?"


    Xie Lu squinted at Qiao Xuan and sized him up: "There are other ways, I''m afraid you won''t agree to it."


    Qiao Xuan understood from his wretched eyes, it was not that she did not think of this point, but she still held onto a bit of hope, hoping that she was wrong.


    "If I agree, how are you going to help Sheng Liang eliminate the effects?" Qiao Xuan had planned for the worst, but she had to ensure that her sacrifice was in exchange for Sheng Liang''s freedom.

 C74

    "That''s easy to deal with. When the time comes, hire some troll army to post on the internet asking for the truth to be revealed. Just say that everyone present could prove that the beating was a hype and it wasn''t true." Xie Lu said indifferently, "Nowadays, no one cares about those. They''re just there to watch the fun."


    Although this made it impossible for Qiao Xuan to agree, she knew that it was still possible.


    "Alright," Qiao Xuan agreed as he placed her name card on the table. "My number is on there, you can call me when it''s convenient, but I hope that you can do what you promised me before that."


    Xie Run immediately got off the bed. "It''s very convenient for me right now. Miss Qiao, let''s go."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan had unconsciously stepped aside, Xie Lu snorted coldly, "You think I''m a fool? If I had explained it to him first, would you have come? "You should either come with me now, or have him kneel down and admit his mistake. Otherwise, you can just wait for your reputation to be tarnished!"


    Qiao Xuan knew that she had no other choice, she only felt that the heavens were messing with her. Just now, she felt that she and Sheng Liang had a good start, but coincidentally this kind of thing happened. In the future, it would truly be impossible for her and him to meet again.


    After walking out of the hospital with Xie Run, Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still got into his car.


    After opening his room in the hotel, Xie Run used his room card to open the door. He suddenly pushed Qiao Xuan in, then heavily slammed the door shut, and said with a sinister smile: "Since we''re all here, stop putting on an act, take it off."


    Qiao Xuan''s slender fingers rested on the buttons on her gown as she slowly undid them. Every time she untied them, it was as if she was taking a step closer to hell.


    But this was the path she had chosen, and she would not regret it.


    Qiao Xuan took off his gown and threw it on the ground. When he saw that Xie Lu had already stripped to his underwear, he looked at her evilly.


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but shiver. She subconsciously held herself tighter as she watched Xie Lun approach her step by step. Only then did she truly feel afraid.


    Instinctively, she retreated to the side of the bed. There was nowhere for her to retreat to. "I''m not ready yet. Don''t come over."


    "You don''t need to prepare. Just enjoy yourself." Xie Run pushed forcefully and pushed Qiao Xuan onto the bed.


    Just as he was about to press himself down, he heard the sound of a door being broken in from outside. When he turned around, he was covered by a black bag, followed by punches and kicks.


    Qiao Xuan was still in shock and unable to regain her senses. Someone had already wrapped her with a wide bundle of clothes and pulled him into their embrace, caressing her back lightly. A familiar voice came from above her head, "Don''t be afraid, everything is fine."


    It was actually ¡­ Sheng Liang!


    The enormous surprise made Qiao Xuan speechless. She merely curled up and crawled into his embrace again, as if there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.


    He clearly knew that he shouldn''t have given her hope, but seeing her panic-stricken and helpless look, Sheng Liang simply couldn''t refuse.


    Moreover, she had fallen into such a dangerous situation for his sake.


    He tightened his grip on her and comforted her softly, "With me around, no one can bully you."


    Qiao Xuan even felt that these were the most beautiful words of love she had ever heard, even though they might not mean the same thing to him.


    But, what did it matter, as long as it was in her heart.


    When Maureen was pretty much done, she took off the black bag covering Xie Lu''s head, took a picture of him with her cell phone, and said with a smile, "The internet is really good these days. Send a photo and you''ll be red with every minute. I wonder what your students will think when they see you naked, they''ll definitely think you''re a beast in disguise, right, Professor Xie?"


    Xie Run looked at Mo Lin, then looked at Sheng Liang, and then he knew that it was all true. He used his hands to cover his private parts, and pointed at them: "Do you guys know who I am, that you guys don''t want to live anymore right?"


    "You''re right, I just don''t want to live anymore. I just want your father in law, that crocodile, to find someone to fix me up." Maureen walked up to him and waved her cell phone in his face. "But before that, you have to make sure he''s still your father-in-law."


    Seeing that Xie Run didn''t seem to understand what he meant, Mo Lin wasn''t in a hurry. He took out his cell phone from his pants on the floor, found a number, and said, "Such a meaningful photo, I''ll have to send it to your wife first."


    Hearing that, Xie Lu''s face immediately changed, and said: "Don''t, don''t, don''t. We can talk, we can talk, how about this, you guys give me the photo, I''ll send a message to Sheng Liang to clarify it, what do you think?"


    Mo Lin turned to look at Sheng Liang. Both of them understood, but Mo Lin still purposely said: "This business, we are not going to make a profit. His small share of the company, is not as big as your wife''s family''s property."


    Xie Lu swallowed hard and kneeled on the ground with a plop. He clasped his hands together and said, "Third Young Master Sheng, I was in the wrong. I owe it to you to hit me. Please forgive me."


    Maureen pressed her cell phone, squatted in front of him, and said, "What you said just now, I''ll record it too. If I find out that you''re being dishonest and do some small things behind your back, photos, and recordings, I''ll send them to your wife anytime. Do you hear me?"


    "I heard it, I heard it. Give me half a day, before it gets dark, I''ll definitely make it seem as if nothing happened." Xie Run nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.


    Seeing that everything was settled, Sheng Liang let Mo Lin take Xie Lun out. He picked up Qiao Xuan''s clothes and passed it to her: "In the future, don''t do anything for me. It''s not worth it."


    Qiao Xuan received it without even raising his head to look at him. "Whether it''s worth it or not, is not up to you to decide."


    In her heart, it was worth it.


    "Qiao Xuan!"


    Sheng Liang wanted to say more, but Qiao Xuan cut him off immediately: "You go out first, I need to put on my clothes."


    Sheng Liang sighed lightly, and turned around to leave.


    Qiao Xuan sat on the bedside for a while, her mind still thinking about the scene from before. When he hugged her, she really felt that she wouldn''t be able to ask for anything else in her entire life.


    After she was dressed, she opened the door and left. Sheng Liang was still waiting outside and when he saw her, he said softly, "Let''s go."


    After getting on the car, Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang was about to turn around and return home, and immediately said: "Send me to the company."


    Sheng Liang subconsciously looked at her. Although Xie Run did not succeed in what just happened, he was still able to scare her. At a time like this, she had to go back to work.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "Although Xie Run has promised to settle this matter, but within the company, Sheng Hua will not let this matter go. I''m worried that he will encourage the other directors to use this opportunity to kick you out of the board."


    "I won''t give them the chance." Sheng Liang looked ahead, the look in his eyes could cause chills to run down one''s spine.

 C75

    In the end, Qiao Xuan still brought Qiao Xuan home, and then he went somewhere else.


    Back at the hotel, because Qiao Xuan was still frightened, he couldn''t really remember what happened at that time. Now that he thought about it, Mo Lin was also here at that time.


    Previously, when Sheng Liang was in court, in order to help him get rid of any suspicions, Mo Lin wanted to testify, but he was rejected. He even asked Qiao Xuan to take Luo Keke out to restrain him, he did not want Mo Lin to appear in front of others.


    But this time, he appeared together with Maureen.


    Even if Xie Run didn''t dare say, there should be many people in the inn who had seen him. Moreover, Sheng Hua and Sheng Qian''s people were still constantly monitoring Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang should be going to resolve this issue. Qiao Xuan was a little self-reproachful, it was she who found trouble for him again.


    Qiao Xuan''s worry was not overthinking things. Not long later, Sheng Qian arrived.


    The last time they met was in that kind of situation. When Qiao Xuan saw him again, he couldn''t help but feel a little awkward, but Sheng Qian seemed to have forgotten this long ago.


    "Third Bro''s actions are quite fast. That old man posted to clarify that it''s a hype about the program. A group of people are scolding the television station for being unscrupulous. They''re really lying down for nothing this time." He stood in front of the wine shelf and swiped his finger across all the wine. Finally, he chose a half-empty bottle of whisky and placed it on the table. Then, he called out to Qing Qing, "Help me get a cup."


    Qing Qing looked at Qiao Xuan and saw that she did not react, he then went to find a cup for Sheng Qian.


    "Sheng Liang doesn''t like others to touch his things." Qiao Xuan said lightly.


    Sheng Qian acted like he was shocked and looked at her: "Then why didn''t you stop me just now?"


    "If I stop you, you won''t listen."


    Sheng Qian laughed, her long and narrow eyebrows looked extremely demonic, "Because I want to tell you a long story, it''s too boring without alcohol."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he was going to say, but she definitely wanted to know. Otherwise, Sheng Qian wouldn''t waste his time here.


    Sheng Qian slowly poured a cup of wine, his pupils contracted as though he was thinking where to start.


    "Let me tell you, my second brother," Sheng Qian took a sip of the wine and said, "He is called Sheng Yan, and is two years younger than my big brother. He is the same age as my third brother. I think you should know that all four of us brothers are not the same mother. Second Brother''s mother was originally the old man''s secretary, and before his mother passed away, they were on good terms with each other. The old man married her into his family afterwards, and that was also the old man''s only adultery. But when second brother was six years old, his mother died, her clothes were stripped naked, she was raped and then killed, and her corpse was even hung on the top floor of the company. At that time, the entire Sang City was stirred. "


    At that time, Qiao Xuan''s family wasn''t even at the Sang City yet, and she was still young, so she hadn''t heard of them.


    Sheng Qian then continued, "After that, my second brother was like a madman, he looked like a murderer every day. Of course, all of this was told to me by my old servant, my mother only married him after that."


    Seeing that Sheng Qian had changed the topic, Qiao Xuan asked: "Then how did Sheng Yan die?"


    In his previous life, Qiao Xuan only knew that Sheng Yan was dead, but his matter was a taboo within the family, and no one dared to bring it up.


    Sheng Qian''s eyes darkened, her slender fingers holding onto her wine cup: "Climb the mountain with Third Bro, if you lose your footing and fall to your death, there won''t even be a corpse left."


    Hearing Sheng Qian''s tone, Qiao Xuan unconsciously shivered, "Why did you suddenly mention him today?"


    "Because today is the day of his death." Sheng Qian suddenly laughed, "Are you scared?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t answer, he only said: "You''re not telling me all these just to tell me stories, right?"


    Then, he took out a photo from his phone and showed it to Qiao Xuan: "At that time, I had someone check Second Brother''s things and found out that the rope he was tied to, had traces of a knife cutting through it. He didn''t stumble, he was murdered."


    Qiao Xuan''s back felt a chill, she finally understood the meaning of what Sheng Qian had told her. He wanted to say that the death of Sheng Yan was related to Sheng Liang.


    But she pretended not to understand and said lightly, "Since it''s a murder, it should be investigated by the police."


    Sheng Qian shook his head: "Everyone is dead, who would care. Besides Big brother, my family''s old man, he will not care about anyone else''s life."


    This point also made Qiao Xuan very curious, so she asked closely: "Why?"


    Due to my second brother''s relationship with him, before my eldest brother''s mother died, she made a notarization of her assets and left behind a will. If the assets of Sheng Family are not handed over to my brother in the future, she has the right to donate all of her inheritance to him through the law firm she commissioned. " Sheng Qian laughed, "That''s why Third Brother and I actually have nothing at all other than us being the successors of Sheng Family in name."


    So it was like this.


    "But there is a loophole in the will. If the company is no longer owned by Golden Age, there is no legal effect." A hint of confusion that did not belong to him flashed past Sheng Qian''s eyes, "Third brother probably saw through this long ago, so he wanted to concentrate the shares in his hands. First second brother, next, it''s me."


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, he was saying, Sheng Liang wanted to kill him?


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s disbelief, Sheng Qian continued: "You still remember the day it rained, right? My car was parked by the side of the road, but was hit by a truck. The driver said that he had slipped, but because of the heavy rain, there were no traces on the road, so I was unable to find any evidence."


    Even if he said that, Qiao Xuan still couldn''t believe that the Sheng Liang she knew wasn''t that kind of person.


    "That was only an accident, you were overthinking it, Sheng Liang would not do it." Qiao Xuan didn''t even know whether she was convincing Sheng Qian or herself.


    Sheng Liang laughed bitterly: "I know you do not believe me, but I cannot force you, but I will continue to look for evidence. I am telling you this in hopes that if I die accidentally one day, you will at least be able to help me take care of my mother."


    Qiao Xuan was a little shaken in her heart. It was not only because she heard Sheng Qian say that Sheng Liang wanted to kill him, but also because this was the first time she had seen such a helpless Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Liang, would he really do that?


    When Sheng Liang returned at night and saw Qiao Xuan sitting alone on the sofa, seemingly filled with worry, he thought that she was still worried about the effects of Xie Run''s matter on him. He walked over and said: "The matter has already been resolved, so you don''t have to worry about it anymore."


    "How?" Qiao Xuan''s mind was still thinking about what Sheng Qian had said, and his tone revealed a little doubt.

 C76

    Sheng Liang could tell that she was in a bad mood, so he didn''t ask, but only replied, "You don''t need to know."


    Qiao Xuan was extremely disgusted with his attitude and she could not help but laugh coldly, "You must be the one who doesn''t dare to let me know.


    Sheng Liang was originally going to go upstairs, but when he heard her words, he turned around and looked at her: "Did Sheng Qian tell you something again? You don''t need to believe his words."


    She didn''t want to believe it either, but Sheng Liang never directly explained it to her. Every time she asked a question, he would always reply half-heartedly, telling her how to believe him.


    "I don''t care what you do, but in the future, we will look our own ways." Qiao Xuan knew that she had acted on impulse, but his cooperative attitude was not what she wanted.


    After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he ran upstairs first. After a while, he brought down his luggage and said to Sheng Liang: "Thank you for protecting my family. If you don''t want to bother, please inform me and I will bring them back."


    "Qiao Xuan, is it dangerous for you to move out?" Sheng Liang tried to stop her.


    However, Qiao Xuan laughed coldly and said: "Who can guarantee that I will be safe here."


    Seeing her pull the luggage out, Sheng Liang frowned, but he did not stop her.


    Qiao Xuan walked out of the gate and stood by the side of the road. He waited for a long time, but no car passed by.


    It was almost dusk and the autumn wind was blowing softly. Qiao Xuan felt a little cold and unconsciously hugged his arms tightly.


    On a rainy day, the scene of her hiding in his embrace once again surfaced in his mind. Unfortunately, she would never have the chance to get so close to him again.


    After waiting for a while, he still didn''t see any cars. Even if there were, they still came back from the city.


    Not only was it cold, she was also a little tired from standing. However, she couldn''t go back, as going back would be equivalent to making a compromise with Sheng Liang.


    "It''s cold outside. Go back." Sheng Liang''s voice suddenly came from behind Qiao Xuan.


    She didn''t look back, but in that instant her nose was sore and her heart was clogged.


    Sheng Liang walked over, extended his hand and caressed her hair: "Alright, I was wrong, I won''t do it again."


    His tone was truly too doting, and Qiao Xuan was unable to control herself and took the opportunity to lie on his chest with tears wet his shirt.


    Sheng Liang raised his hand, and only after a long time did he gently stroke her back.


    He never liked to explain to others and would never tell anyone what he wanted to do, but Qiao Xuan''s concern made him realize that maybe he really shouldn''t have done that.


    After Qiao Xuan finished crying, he pulled her back, afraid that she would catch a cold. He took a blanket from the sofa and wrapped her up, "Is she still cold?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, looked at Sheng Liang, and said in a low voice: "I''m sorry, I was too rash just now."


    In fact, she regretted it ever since she left his house. She had promised him that she would believe him no matter what anyone said.


    But after hearing what Sheng Qian said, she was actually moved.


    How could she doubt Sheng Liang? Not to mention his protection of her family for so long, she should have known what kind of person he was to the lawyer Lu Liang that day. How could he possibly hurt his own brother?


    Even towards Sheng Hua, he had always been searching for a proper method. If not, Sheng Hua would not have had the chance to frame him time and time again.


    "Didn''t you ask me how I handled those things? I''ll tell you now." Sheng Liang placed a cup of hot water in front of Qiao Xuan and said.


    Qiao Xuan hid himself on the sofa with the blanket wrapped around himself, and immediately waved his hands: "No need, I believe you, I just ¡­. I just want to know if what Sheng Qian said has anything to do with you. "


    Sheng Liang sat opposite of her, and after a moment of silence, he said: "There is, but it''s not what he thinks. Qiao Xuan, I really cannot say anything about this right now, but one day, if I get what I want, I will definitely tell you everything. "


    Qiao Xuan solemnly nodded his head: "En."


    "Oh right, you said just now, Sheng Qian told you that someone wanted to kill him?" Sheng Liang suddenly asked.


    Qiao Xuan nodded his head: "It was the car accident last time, he said that it was not an accident, but a pity that he did not have any evidence."


    Sheng Liang looked as though he thought of something, and after a while, he said: "I''m afraid that it isn''t aimed at him."


    Otherwise, Sheng Qian would not have suspected him the first time, as there were people who intentionally made Sheng Qian think so.


    In fact, Sheng Qian had always been indifferent about the company''s matters all these years just to prove his attitude towards them. He was not interested in the right of inheritance for the Sheng Family, but even so, Sheng Hua still didn''t want to let him go, and even used him to restrict himself.


    To let them fight with each other, Sheng Hua would definitely benefit from this.


    Xie Run''s matter was just like an interlude, calmly passing by even before it caused a huge uproar.


    Qiao Xuan had thought that as long as Director Li and the others did not mention about it, she would pretend that she did not hear what they had said that day.


    However, things did not go as expected, those few people actually told this matter to Sheng Tianhao who just came back from a foreign country who signed a contract. Furthermore, they turned black and white, saying that Qiao Xuan threatened them and wanted them to transfer all the shares in their hands to Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Tianhao called Qiao Xuan over and calmly said: "Looks like you and Ol ''Three have developed quite well. You guys want to help him take away his family property so quickly?"


    "Chairman, Sheng Liang has endured for so many years, do you think that he just wants to take over the family property?" Qiao Xuan asked coldly.


    "Then what else does he want?" Sheng Tianhao seemed to be very interested.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I don''t know, but I believe it has nothing to do with money."


    Sheng Liang had never told her this before, but she was sure of this.


    Sheng Tianhao did not say anything, and only laughed, and after a while he looked at Qiao Xuan and said: My sons, they are all extremely powerful, Miss Qiao does not want to be involved in this muddy water, I do not want to lose such an outstanding financial officer.


    That was because he thought that it was okay, and for that piece of evidence, Sheng Hua did not hesitate to kill his entire family.


    That basketball was still at Qiao Nan''s place. She didn''t know if it was safe or not, but too many things had happened in the past few days that she had even forgotten to give him a call.


    Returning to the office, Qiao Xuan immediately called Qiao Nan. This time, he quickly picked up the call.


    "What''s the matter, Sis?" Qiao Nan always spoke with that roguish emphasis.


    Qiao Xuan did not have time to chat with him, and directly asked: "Where''s the basketball that I gave you?"


    "What basketball? How come I don''t know about it?" Qiao Nan was slightly complaining.


    Qiao Xuan was also a little taken aback: "It''s your birthday, I gave it to you as a gift, and it''s in a backpack."


    "Is that basketball in that backpack? But that backpack was taken by Sheng Liang. " He had no idea what was inside.


    Qiao Xuan maintained his position on the phone, but did not speak for a long time. At that time, Sheng Liang had already known what she was giving Qiao Nan, but he had never told her.

 C77

    It was one thing if he didn''t trust her, another if he didn''t tell her, and she had picked it up.


    "Director Qiao, this document needs your signature." The assistant placed a document in front of Qiao Xuan and said.


    Qiao Xuan was originally somewhat careless, but when she saw the contents, she immediately became spirited: "Who gave this to you?"


    The assistant thought something was wrong and said carefully, "Yes..." The marketing department bill for last month. "


    Sheng Hua must be crazy, how is this paying the bill, this is simply transferring the company''s wealth in the open!


    She took the document and went straight to Sheng Hua''s office. He was talking about work for his subordinates, and let them out the moment he saw her.


    "I want you to give me an explanation." Qiao Xuan slapped the thing on Sheng Hua''s desk.


    Sheng Hua smiled as casually as before, looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Otherwise, would you take the initiative to look for me?"


    Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant, and frowned: "What tricks are you trying to play now?"


    Sheng Hua sat forward and took out a photo for Qiao Xuan to look at: "Do you know this person?"


    Qiao Xuan looked down and saw that it was Mo Lin. From the background, it looked like he was at the hotel that day, and from the photo, it could be seen that it was taken secretly. Sheng Hua had indeed been monitoring them closely.


    "What happened to him?" Qiao Xuan asked.


    "Is Sheng Liang telling you that everything about him cannot be revealed?" Seeing Qiao Xuan''s surprised expression, he knew that his guess was right. He smiled and said with an unknown meaning, "It really is a big scheme."


    Just by looking at his expression, Qiao Xuan felt chills down his spine. Just what did he know?


    When she went back to work, Qiao Xuan got off from the elevator and saw Sheng Liang waiting for her. Sheng Hua was watching them from behind with a smile on his face that made people feel scared.


    Qiao Xuan walked over, and as he walked out, he said to Sheng Liang: "I''m sorry, I might have done something wrong. Sheng Hua is aware of Mo Lin''s existence."


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her, but wasn''t too surprised. "He knows that it''s inevitable, it''s fine."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to ask Mo Lin about his relationship with his family, but she knew that Sheng Liang would definitely not tell her, so she did not ask.


    "I have something to ask you," After getting on the carriage, Qiao Xuan confirmed that no one would hear him, and then asked, "You have already taken away the piece of evidence concerning Sheng Hua from me, right?"


    Sheng Liang did not deny it: "Yes, from the moment you took the bag back, I knew what was inside it. I did not tell you because it would not benefit you if you knew."


    Qiao Xuan did not want to explain anything to him, so he asked again: "Do you want to hand it over to the police?"


    With the evidence conclusive, Sheng Hua could no longer be at large.


    "I''ve already destroyed it." Sheng Liang said lightly.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, "What? How could you do that! "


    It was fine if he didn''t tell her anything every time, but this piece of evidence could directly topple Sheng Hua, and yet he didn''t even bother to discuss it with her.


    "Qiao Xuan, I promise you, when the time is right, I will not give Sheng Hua the chance to turn the tables on him. Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and said apologetically.


    She could believe in him, or listen to anything he said, but Qiao Xuan felt that she no longer had any value in this matter.


    But she didn''t say anything. She wouldn''t make the same mistake twice.


    She now knew what she wanted.


    When she returned home, Luo Jie was also there. Speaking of which, she hadn''t seen him for a few days.


    "Young Master Liang, I''m back." Luo Jie walked over, as though he wanted to say something to Sheng Liang, but after looking at him for a bit, he did not say anything.


    Qiao Xuan knew that they had something to say, so he walked towards the kitchen: "I''ll go help Qing Qing."


    "Miss Qiao, you are back." Qing Qing always seemed to be very happy, as if he didn''t know what worries were.


    Qiao Xuan saw that she was wearing an Agate bracelet on her wrist, which was obviously expensive. He smiled and said: "Luo Jie sure is generous to you."


    Qing Qing turned his head and saw that within Qiao Xuan''s line of sight, he was smiling shyly, "This is a family heirloom. When he went back home and told his mother about us, she told him to give it to me. Miss Qiao, tell me, is it not good for me to accept such a precious gift? "


    Qiao Xuan helped her wash the vegetables and said: "Since his mother gave you her family''s heirloom, she will treat you as her daughter-in-law and will keep you."


    Qing Qing nodded and smiled even more happily.


    Qiao Xuan was really envious of them. They could love each other so easily and be honest with each other, but she had to walk so hard.


    He didn''t even know what would happen in the future.


    When Qiao Xuan went out to call them out for dinner, they just happened to have finished discussing things. Qiao Xuan only heard Sheng Liang say to Luo Jie, "Don''t tell anyone about this."


    Qiao Xuan adjusted her mental state and slowly walked over, pretending that she did not hear anything. In the future, if Sheng Liang did not want to say anything, she would not ask anymore.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan went upstairs, showered and changed her clothes. She then took out the painting again.


    This oil painting had almost returned to its original color, and only a few minor details needed to be filled in.


    Just as she was about to fix it with her brush, someone knocked on the door. She thought it would be Qing Qing, so she did not move, and only said: "Come in."


    "What are you doing?"


    Qiao Xuan suddenly heard Sheng Liang''s voice and hurriedly wanted to put the thing away, but it was already too late.


    Sheng Liang reached out and took the painting. He recognized that it was the painting that he bought for her in Paris, but it had fallen into the pond.


    She had actually fixed up the fading colors. It turned out that she was going to the art store to buy paint that time.


    "If you like, I can give it to you. Why bother." Sheng Liang said.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he wouldn''t understand, but he still said, "No matter how good the new is, it won''t be the original one. The meaning will be different."


    Actually, it wasn''t that Sheng Liang didn''t understand, but since he couldn''t give her a promise, he didn''t want her to have any hope.


    Seeing that he was silent, Qiao Xuan took the painting back from his hand and asked softly: What business do you have with me?


    "Tomorrow, our new products will be available at all major stores. I was going to go over to supervise, but I have something to do tomorrow. Please go and take my place." Sheng Liang said.


    Qiao Xuan said with some difficulty: "But I don''t know much about sales, I''m afraid there might be a mistake later."


    "I''ve already made arrangements for that side. Just go over and take a look." Sheng Liang said as he sent a copy of the process to Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan did not speak further, nor did she ask him what was so important about him that he did not even participate in such a major event.


    And on the morning of the second day, when she went downstairs, Qing Qing told her that Sheng Liang had already left the house.

 C78

    Qiao Xuan first went to the shopping mall with the largest Sang City. There was someone at the entrance to pick her up, so they went in to greet the person in charge of the shopping mall, before going to take a look at the shelves of their products.


    The people that Sheng Liang had arranged were all core elites. Qiao Xuan only needed to watch from the side as they guided the shop assistant on how to place them and demonstrate them.


    "Master Qi."


    Hearing the voice of the person at the side, Qiao Xuan turned her head and saw Qi Chu already walking over. She politely greeted, "Master Qi."


    Qi Chu looked around and asked: "Why are you here, where''s Sheng Liang?"


    "He had something else to do, so he let me come." Qiao Xuan still remembered what Qi Chu said to her last time. She felt a little awkward, and didn''t even dare to look him in the eye when she spoke to him.


    Qi Chu''s gaze fell on a certain place, as if he was deep in thought: "Oh, so it''s like this, I''m just casually asking, then you''re busy, I won''t disturb you."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Qi Chu''s back, and she understood in her heart that what Qi Chu said to her was only human nature, so she did not blame him at all.


    Moreover, she couldn''t take Qi Luo''s place in Sheng Liang''s heart at all.


    "What are you guys doing? My hands are already full of bubbles. Call your manager over, I''m going to file a complaint!"


    Just as Qiao Xuan was thinking about something, he suddenly heard a sharp cry from a woman. She turned around and saw that in front of their counter, there was a fashionable lady wearing sunglasses.


    Although the woman was almost fully armed, Qiao Xuan still recognized that she was Lin Xi''er.


    This was really a narrow path for enemies.


    Xiao Liu, who was in charge of guidance, immediately walked over and whispered into Qiao Xuan''s ears: "Miss Qiao, I don''t know what happened, but something went wrong with our product. This lady just tried it on her hands and her hands ended up like that."


    Qiao Xuan was sure that it was not a problem with the products, it was just that she did not know which part was wrong, which was the reason why she gave Lin Xi''er the opportunity.


    She slowly walked over to Lin Xi''er, stood beside her and said, "Miss Lin, I''m sorry to have made your hand like this, but I can guarantee that it definitely isn''t a problem with our products. So, I hope that Miss Lin can come with us and do an appraisal to find out what exactly is the problem."


    Who knew that Lin Xi''er would turn her head and pretend not to know Qiao Xuan, "Who are you, can you promise? What qualifications do you have to guarantee this? "And you want me to go with you guys to do an appraisal. Whatever it is, that''s your problem!"


    Because of Lin Xi''er''s loud shout, a circle of people quickly gathered around her. This scene was really similar to the time when Lin Xi''er had beaten her.


    Everyone in the company was a bit panicked. They all understood how much this would affect the sales of new products.


    However, Qiao Xuan remained calm and looked at Lin Xi''er, smiled and said: "Does Miss Lin not dare to go?"


    "Why would I not dare? I am the victim. I will make your Golden Age Group pay the price!" Lin Xi''er called out excitedly.


    Some people nearby recognized Lin Xi''er and shouted out, "Lin Xi''er, we support you and want to sue these heartless and treacherous merchants to death!"


    Upon hearing Lin Xi''er''s name, the people beside her all became excited. They all took out their phones to take pictures, and some people even asked for her autograph.


    There were also two burly men who claimed to be Lin Xi''er''s hardcore fans. They looked at Qiao Xuan and threatened him: "If your company doesn''t solve this issue quickly, be careful I might go to your company and set up a bomb!"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything, he only looked at them quietly. Xiao Liu then said to Qiao Xuan in a low voice: "Miss Qiao, it''s not good if we blow up, why don''t we apologize to them first. You don''t know that these brainless fans really can do anything."


    "Go call the security guards." Qiao Xuan said, "It is not our problem, we cannot accept this. Apologizing to them would be equivalent to compromising to them, and in the future, it will become a weakness in their attacks."


    "I know." Xiao Liu wanted to pass through the crowd and call the security guards, but was pushed back by the two men.


    "If you don''t solve this problem, no one will be able to leave!" The two men walked to Lin Xi''er''s side, a flattering smile on their faces. "Miss Lin, how should we deal with this matter? We''ll handle it for you."


    She looked at Qiao Xuan and said to the two of them: "Seems like she''s in charge here, then find her and settle it. I don''t have any excessive demands, didn''t she say that their products are not a problem, then let her try as well, and see who the problem is."


    While Lin Xi''er was speaking, she took a bottle of lotion from the counter and opened the lid. Then, she suddenly pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand and poured it onto hers.


    Little Liu''s eyes widened and quickly shouted, "That''s not our product, the color isn''t right!"


    When Qiao Xuan heard Xiao Liu''s shout, he immediately pulled his hand back.


    However, none of them expected that after Qiao Xuan withdrew his hand, Lin Xi''er actually threw the bottle of liquid towards Xiao Liu.


    When Qiao Xuan heard Xiao Liu scream, she turned her head and saw her squatting on the ground with her face covered by her hands.


    What was in the bottle was actually sulfuric acid!


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was heavily pricked, she immediately squatted down and took away Xiao Liu''s hand, then shouted to the side: "Call an ambulance, quickly!"


    Those who were originally watching all took a few steps back when they saw the scene before them, but they still could not disperse.


    Only Lin Xi''er, who was still holding the bottle, stood there in a daze as if she had gone stupid.


    Qiao Xuan took two bottles of pure water from the hands of the surrounding people and poured it on Xiao Liu''s face.


    Hearing Xiao Liu''s heart-wrenching screams, Qiao Xuan felt worse off than she did.


    If only she had known earlier, she wouldn''t have retracted her hand just now. Lin Xi''er wouldn''t have vented her anger on Little Liu.


    "What''s going on?" Qi Chu squeezed through the crowd and was stunned by the scene in front of him.


    Lin Xi''er suddenly woke up from her stupor and rushed to Qi Chu''s side, pulling his arm: "Master Qi, help me, this shouldn''t be the case!"


    Qi Chu frowned his eyebrows, and pushed her away without leaving a trace. Then, he patted her clothes that she had touched a moment ago with disgust: "Don''t think about evading the responsibility when you do what you''ve done. When the police are here, you can tell them."


    Lin Xi''er looked at Qi Chu with a dazed expression, her lips trembled twice, but she could not say a single word.


    The ambulance came quickly, and Qiao Xuan helped Xiao Liu up onto the stretcher. Then, he said to another person: "You follow the ambulance to the hospital.


    The man nodded and followed the nurse.


    Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xi''er and said: "Little Qi Master is right, you have to take responsibility for what you do. You framed our products and even hurt our employees with sulfuric acid, just you wait, you will go to jail."

 C79

    Lin Xi''er looked at Qiao Xuan, her face no longer as sharp as usual. It was as if she had lost her soul, and even her eyes were flickering.


    However, Qiao Xuan did not care about all these.


    When they were about to go downstairs, Lin Xi''er turned her head and looked at Qiao Xuan as if she had something to say to him, but she didn''t say it out loud either.


    Qiao Xuan sighed, even if he had to send Lin Xi''er to jail, so what? Xiao Liu''s face, would probably be ruined.


    She arranged everything here and then went to the hospital. Almost four hours had passed, but Little Liu was still undergoing surgery.


    Sheng Liang had also rushed over after hearing the news, seeing Qiao Xuan leaning on the wall with a gloomy expression, he slowly walked over, and said: "Don''t worry, she will be fine. I have already contacted the best plastic surgery expert, her face will be the same as before."


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan replied listlessly, and then blamed himself, "If there''s anything wrong with her, I really can''t forgive myself. I know that Lin Xi''er came because of me, and it was me who harmed her."


    Sheng Liang patted her shoulder and said: "Don''t think too much about it, if you''re talking about responsibilities, it''s also my responsibility. I shouldn''t have let you go in my place."


    After saying all that, Qiao Xuan also looked at Sheng Liang with a puzzled expression. "You only told me last night that you wanted me to replace you, how would Lin Xi''er know that it was me?


    The color in Sheng Liang''s eyes turned, as if he was thinking about something, but he only comforted Qiao Xuan and said, "It might be a coincidence."


    It was not a coincidence, it definitely was not a coincidence. Qiao Xuan suddenly recalled what Lin Xi''er had told Qi Chu.


    There was also her expression at the time, as if she was very shocked and surprised.


    Could it be that she didn''t know that it would hurt others, or that she didn''t even know that the bottle contained sulfuric acid?


    Qiao Xuan saw that Xiao Liu had left the operation room. Her face was wrapped in bandages, only her nose and mouth were left.


    Sheng Liang had already arranged for people to take care of her and had also sent people to fetch her parents.


    There seemed nothing more to be done.


    "I''ll take you home." Sheng Liang said.


    Qiao Xuan did not speak. She pondered for a long time before saying, "I want to meet Lin Xi''er."


    Sheng Liang looked at her, his eyes drooping, his expression deep: "I just received a call, Lin Xi''er died jumping off the car on the way to the police station."


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, just like Lin Xi''er''s expression back then. She suddenly felt that the world she lived in was too scary.


    Sheng Liang brought Qiao Xuan home, but she didn''t say a word on the way there, as if she was frightened by Lin Xi''er''s incident.


    Qiao Xuan walked upstairs with a blank expression before suddenly turning around and saying to Sheng Liang, "I think Lin Xi''er was coerced by someone. She probably wants to teach me a lesson, but she definitely isn''t using this method."


    With so many people present, how could she possibly do such a foolish thing? No matter how much she hated her, she would never be able to compensate for her future.


    Sheng Liang did not speak, nor did he comment. It was only after a long time that he finally met Qiao Xuan''s surprised gaze.


    Qiao Xuan nodded and then went upstairs.


    She believed in Sheng Liang. He would always keep his promise.


    Qiao Xuan had already lied down since a long time ago. The news on his phone was all over the shopping mall, as well as the news of Lin Xi''er''s death.


    Her heart felt heavier and heavier, and she couldn''t fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned.


    With a click, a message came in. She opened it and saw that it was from Sheng Liang.


    She was wearing pajamas and a jacket when she arrived at the courtyard. She saw Sheng Liang sitting on the lawn with the commander squatting beside him.


    She walked over and stood beside him. "What is it?" she asked softly.


    Sheng Liang glanced at her, then patted the seat beside him: "Sit down first, we''ll talk."


    When Qiao Xuan sat down, he realized that there was a cushion on the ground. Originally, she wanted to say that it was still cold at night, and there was still moisture on the grass.


    "Do you want to know where I went today?" Sheng Liang''s voice was still calm.


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "If you''re willing to say it."


    "Graveyard," he saw the surprise on Qiao Xuan''s face from the corner of his eyes, but Sheng Liang instead said calmly, "To see my mother."


    His mother? Was he the madman that Sheng Tianhao had been designed to sleep in by others?


    "She''s not a lunatic," Sheng Liang said indifferently, as if he was trying to process what Qiao Xuan was thinking, "She just misses the person she loves too much."


    Someone she loved?


    Qiao Xuan was very curious, but she didn''t dare to ask. This kind of story was always mixed with too much sadness, and she wasn''t sure if Sheng Liang would tell her or not.


    "When I was young, everyone in the family bullied us, so she always held me tightly in her arms. No matter how others beat and scolded her, she never let go. She once told me that when I''m not strong enough, I must learn to protect myself. I remember what she said. I haven''t forgotten it in all these years. " Sheng Liang''s tone was cold, just like the night wind.


    Qiao Xuan, however, had unconsciously cried. She understood that the reason why he had endured for so many years was for the sake of one day not to let others trample on his dignity.


    However, Qiao Xuan was still a little surprised. She thought that Sheng Liang would not take the initiative to mention his mother.


    "I just want to tell you that there are some things that are not as bad as what you see on the surface." Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan, not a trace of sadness on his face.


    This was a method of self-protection that he had practiced for many years. Without a weakness, it would not be easily penetrated.


    Qiao Xuan understood. It was because of the matter today that Sheng Liang knew that she was feeling uncomfortable.


    She sat up straight, looked into the distance, and said, "Do you remember when we first met, when I thought you had no human feelings at all, that you were always cold to me, that you didn''t even think you would become like this?"


    Thinking of those things, just like yesterday, they had actually already been walking together for such a long time.


    Sheng Liang also did not reply. The look in his eyes was as deep and serene as the endless night.


    Qiao Xuan had originally thought that after the matter of pouring sulfuric acid into the shop and following Lin Xi''er''s death, they would definitely sink to the bottom of the ocean.


    Who would have thought that Sheng Hua would block her off in the company elevator that day. His eyes behind the glasses shone with a strange light, "You should know about the relationship between Lin Xi''er and me, her death is related to you, you have to be responsible for it."


    In that cramped space, Qiao Xuan could only stick close to the wall of the elevator and try his best to keep his distance, "Lin Xi''er died from jumping off a car, it has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, she brought sulfuric acid to find me.

 C80

    Sheng Hua moved closer to Qiao Xuan, his voice was not loud, but every word was cold: "I know it''s Sheng Liang''s doing, he has started to counterattack, but you can tell him, he will never get what he wants!"


    The elevator door opened with a ding sound, but Sheng Hua still maintained his posture. When the people outside saw that he was inside, the atmosphere became tense, and no one dared to enter.


    Only when the elevator door was about to close did Sheng Hua walk out.


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, and then, he hurriedly left the room.


    Although she did not believe Sheng Hua''s words, she still went to Sheng Liang''s office.


    Sheng Qian turned his head, he was also startled, and after a while he laughed: "We just separated, and you already wish to meet?"


    Knowing that he was teasing them again, Qiao Xuan did not bother about him and asked instead, "Have you guys finished discussing your matters?"


    Sheng Qian spread his hands: "I''m fine now, return him to you."


    When they were closing the door, Sheng Qian stuck his head in again and said: "The weather in the middle of the day is not good, third brother you should pay more attention."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the door, then turned back to Sheng Liang. "When did your relationship become so good?"


    "Where did you see that?" Sheng Liang said indifferently, "Can''t you tell that he''s mocking me?"


    Qiao Xuan did not make any comments, but since Sheng Qian had said those bad things about Sheng Liang in front of her, and even said that Sheng Liang wanted to kill him, shouldn''t he try his best to avoid Sheng Liang?


    However, this was not what she was worried about. She walked closer to Sheng Liang, then said softly, "I met Sheng Hua in the elevator just now. He said that you were the one who was doing something to Lin Xi''er."


    "So, you''re here to denounce me?" Sheng Liang leaned back in his chair and looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan immediately denied it: "Of course not, I just thought it was strange. I had always thought that it was Sheng Hua who ordered Lin Xi''er to do it, but looking at his expression just now, it doesn''t seem like he was acting. "Say, could it be that someone else is targeting you? I''ve thought about it, Lin Xi''er didn''t go there because she knew I was going, but rather because she was aiming for you. It''s just that a coincidence has become like this."


    Someone had been instigating his relationship with Sheng Qian behind his back. Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words just now, it was probably not just that, that person was instigating the three of them, with the aim of destroying Golden Age?


    Sheng Qian had also noticed this, which was why she came to find him.


    Sheng Liang did not want Qiao Xuan to get involved too deeply, so he casually said. "Your imagination is really rich, but unfortunately, it''s just imagination."


    "Sheng Liang, I ¡ª"


    Qiao Xuan still wanted to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by Sheng Liang: "I will definitely investigate this matter properly, you don''t need to worry about it. If you have nothing to do after work, go and visit Xiao Liu at the hospital, help me greet her."


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was obviously calling for the guests to leave, Qiao Xuan did not say anymore, and with a word of agreement, he walked out of his office.


    Sheng Liang looked at the closed door, both his arms propped on the table, his hands clasped together, his fingers pressed against his forehead, he was deep in thought.


    Could it be that he had been mistaken from the start? But if it wasn''t Sheng Hua, who else could it be?


    After work, Qiao Xuan went to see Xiao Liu. She still had not removed the bandages on her face, but she had recovered a lot.


    After her parents left, Qiao Xuan sat on the bedside of her bed and softly said: "I''m sorry, it''s all my fault. I''ve implicated you."


    Xiao Liu shook her head, "I know it''s none of your business. Furthermore, Young Master Liang has already done a lot, and that plastic surgeon also said that he can make me look the same as before. I don''t have anything to complain about."


    Although they were trying their best to remedy the situation, the damage had already been done. It would still affect Little Liu somewhat. It was rare for her to think like this.


    "I heard that Lin Xi''er died, but I never thought that she would have such a hard time thinking about it. Although I hate her, she still doesn''t deserve to die." There was a hint of regret in Little Liu''s voice.


    That''s right, even if it was intentional, she would at most be sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. She was still so young, but she could still turn over a new leaf. How could she do such an extreme thing?


    "Furthermore, that bottle of sulfuric acid was given to her by someone else. Who knows, she might not even know what''s inside." Little Liu muttered.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart stirred as he hurriedly asked, "What did you say just now?"


    "That day, when we went up, didn''t I lose my work card? I went down to look for it myself, and when I was on the stairs, I saw a man give Lin Xi''er the bottle. At that time, I thought that Young Master Hua was giving us a new product, so I didn''t pay much attention to it. Little Liu recalled.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart suddenly felt like it was boiling, there was indeed another person!


    However, she immediately thought of Little Liu''s safety and asked, "Did you tell anyone else about this?"


    Xiao Liu could hear the nervousness in Qiao Xuan''s tone, she also tensed up and said carefully, "Young Master Qian came over at noon. I told him."


    Sheng Qian?


    Qiao Xuan immediately walked out of the sickroom and called Sheng Qian. He called him a few times, but there was no one who answered.


    Could something have happened to Sheng Qian?


    Qiao Xuan tried his best to calm himself down, and called Sheng Liang to help him arrange for the Xiao Liu Courtyard. If something happened to Sheng Qian, it proved that the person Xiao Liu saw was really the cause of this matter, and she would be in danger.


    "Are you in the hospital? I''ll pick you up." Sheng Liang said.


    Qiao Xuan did not refuse because her heart was a little chaotic right now.


    Sheng Liang came quickly, and immediately settled Xiao Liu''s problem. He looked at Qiao Xuan and asked: "Is Little Four''s phone still unanswered?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, she could not think of where Sheng Qian would go after finding out, so even if she wanted to look for him, she did not know where to go.


    Sheng Liang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pulled Qiao Xuan away. Once they were in the carriage, Qiao Xuan asked: "Where to?"


    "Solesky Square."


    The mall she went to this morning?


    Qiao Xuan still did not quite understand, but looking at Sheng Liang''s heavy expression, she did not ask further.


    By the time they rushed there, the mall was already closed. However, there was a large crowd gathered outside the mall. There were also police cars present.


    Sheng Liang got out of the car, and walked through the crowd of people around him, and asked a plainclothes policeman who was reading the statement: Captain Xiao, what''s going on here?


    Captain Xiao looked at him, "Mr. Sheng? "Did you pass by, or did you come here on purpose?"


    Sheng Liang understood how sharp the old policemen were, so he did not plan to beat around the bush. He asked directly: "Did something happen in the security room?"


    Captain Xiao stopped what he was doing and looked at Sheng Liang, "How do you know?"


    "I just want to know, is there any my brother Sheng Qian among the injured people?" Sheng Liang didn''t dodge at all when he looked into the hawk-like eyes of Captain Xiao.

 C81

    Captain Xiao pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No, just two security guards. However, they said that the surveillance video in the computer was deleted."


    Sheng Liang frowned, and turned to leave. Captain Xiao called out from behind: "What do you know, I hope you can say it."


    "That''s what the police want." Sheng Liang did not turn his head and saw Qiao Xuan standing in the crowd, pulling her into the car.


    "Is it related to Sheng Qian?" After the car was driven out, Qiao Xuan asked.


    Sheng Liang did not answer, but said: "Continue to call him."


    Qiao Xuan called again many times and finally got it. Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang, who parked the car and took her phone.


    "Qiao Xuan, tell my third brother, I''ll soon know who that person is." Sheng Qian answered the call while looking at the video that was being copied over.


    Sheng Liang heard his voice, and almost shouted, "Where are you, come find me right now!"


    Sheng Qian laughed: "It''s so late at night, I don''t want to spoil your plans. Wait until I know who that person is, I''ll tell you about it tomorrow."


    Sheng Liang secretly sighed, the brat now still did not know how dangerous he was.


    He calmed down and said, "Tell me your location, and I''ll go look for you now. Don''t watch those surveillance videos anymore, find a place with many people to stay."


    Sheng Qian finally understood the meaning behind Sheng Liang''s words. He looked around him and saw emptiness, not even a single person could be seen.


    "I''m on the rooftop of the Fortress Building. Don''t worry, I''m on guard. It won''t be that easy to get rid of me." Even though Sheng Qian said this, he still closed his laptop and pulled out his memory card. He thought for a moment and then stuffed it under the shoe cushion.


    Very quickly, Sheng Liang drove the car to the front of the Rich Hall. Seeing that Sheng Qian was also coming out, he relaxed a little.


    Sheng Qian tilted his head and looked at them, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Why are you guys so slow, I''m almost going to freeze to death up there."


    "Then hurry up and get on the carriage." Sheng Liang said lightly.


    As Qiao Xuan listened to their conversation, she felt that they were no different from other people''s brothers. She was very happy, but Sheng Liang was no longer so lonely.


    Sheng Qian put his hands in his pockets, walked down the stairs, and was about to get on the car, but just at this time, a car suddenly drove over from behind and knocked him flying!


    Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan didn''t even have time to react before they watched Sheng Qian''s body fly up like a parabola and heavily land on the ground.


    What made them even more shocked was that not only did the car not stop, it drove towards the place where Sheng Qian had fallen, as if it was accelerating.


    Sheng Liang was shocked, he immediately stepped on the throttle of the car and forcefully drove it away.


    The driver of the car, seeing that he had lost his chance, didn''t hit it again. He turned the car back and drove away.


    Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan got out of the car at almost the same time, and ran towards Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Qian fell to the ground, blood flowing out from his body. Under the street lights, it was a shocking red.


    His eyes were closed and his face was colorless.


    The person who used to smile so much that he looked like a fox was now lying quietly on the cold ground, neither smiling nor speaking.


    Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned, especially the strong smell of blood, making her feel dizzy.


    Tears blurred her vision. She reached out to pick Sheng Qian up, but was stopped by Sheng Liang.


    "Don''t touch him, we still don''t know where he''s injured." Sheng Liang made a call calmly. He then took off his jacket and covered Sheng Qian''s body.


    It wasn''t the first time Qiao Xuan had seen such a scene. In her previous life, she had also seen her parents fall into a pool of blood.


    Fortunately, Sheng Qian still had a weak breath, so he was not dead yet.


    The ambulance came quickly, and Sheng Liang helped to carry Sheng Qian up. Then, they drove the car and followed behind.


    "Should I call the chairman?" Qiao Xuan asked. After such a big thing had happened, they should have informed his parents.


    "We''ll talk about it tomorrow. My father''s heart isn''t well, and Aunt Hui is alone ¡­" I probably can''t take it. " Sheng Liang looked at the ambulance in front of him, his expression still calm.


    This was the first time, when Qiao Xuan heard him address his father, he probably did not even know it himself. Actually, he did not hate his family so much, he just wanted Sheng Tianhao''s recognition.


    When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors and nurses were already waiting for them. Very quickly, they pushed Sheng Qian into the operation room.


    Sheng Liang''s jacket fell to the ground. He picked it up and looked at the blood stains on it, not saying anything for a long time.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, not knowing how to comfort him. Previously, she thought that Sheng Liang hated Sheng Qian, which was why she was half convinced and half skeptical when Sheng Qian said that he wanted to kill her.


    But today, after seeing how nervous he looked when he found out that Sheng Qian was in danger, she finally understood. Actually, in his heart, which was wrapped in layers and layers of encirclement, he yearned so much for family love.


    The nurse rushed out and told them that Sheng Qian needed a large amount of blood transfusions, but that the hospital did not have enough blood.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang, and Sheng Liang narrowed his eyes, feeling a little helpless: "I''m not of the same blood type as him."


    There was no more time to hesitate, so Sheng Liang still called Sheng Qian''s mother, Xun Hui, and warned her not to tell her anything first.


    In just a few minutes, Xun Hui was already there. She looked at Sheng Liang and did not say much, but let the nurse take her to draw her blood first.


    After she finished drawing her blood, Sheng Liang walked over and greeted her, "Aunt Huai ¡ª"


    Before he finished speaking, Xun Hui had already slapped his face: "Tell me, did you harm my son to this extent?! You can''t wait for him to die!"


    Sheng Liang did not refute him. Qiao Xuan knew that he did not like to explain, and immediately said: "Madam Sheng, this matter has nothing to do with Sheng Liang. Someone was purposefully knocking into Sheng Qian."


    "Shut up! You are just a few sons of the Sheng Family, yet you seduced them one by one. Do you think I don''t know that even my Qian''er would look for you if she had something she wanted to do? It might even be a conspiracy between you and Sheng Liang that wants to kill our Qian''er! " Xun Hui pointed at Qiao Xuan in exasperation and scolded.


    Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan away, and no longer paid any attention to Xun Hui, but he did not leave either.


    There were those who were scolded even more harshly by others in the past. She had never cared about these things, nor did she care about the opinions of others. There were some things that she only needed to understand.


    But she really felt wronged for Sheng Liang. He had lived in that house for so many years, she really did not know how he did it.


    "Why don''t you go back first? I''ll call you when Sheng Qian wakes up." Qiao Xuan quietly told him. She was afraid that Sheng Qian would have something bad happen to him, so she vented her anger on him again.


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "You can go back, I have to stay tonight."

 C82

    Did he mean that there would be people who would come to harm Sheng Qian?


    Even now, Qiao Xuan still felt that the whole thing was like a dream. It was already scary enough for there to be someone who could threaten them at any time, but what was even more frightening was that they still did not know who that person was.


    Qiao Xuan still did not leave in the end. She knew that even if she went back, she would not be able to sleep at all.


    It was exceptionally quiet in the corridor late at night, so they could clearly hear Xun Hui''s soft sobs.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the door of the operation room as he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Sheng Qian would be a lucky person.


    He was different from Sheng Hua. He was smart and cunning, but he never schemed against her. He seemed to be playful and disrespectful, but he didn''t have any of the bad habits of a popinjay.


    Every time he got close to her, although he had a bit of a ruffian aura, he never crossed the line.


    Qiao Xuan still remembered when he was singing.


    Qiao Xuan believed that the heavens would definitely treat this kind of person well.


    The operation carried on until the latter half of the night. When the doctor came out, Xun Hui immediately ran over, she ran too quickly, and her leg instantly sprained. However, she did not mind, as she endured the pain and walked over to the doctor, and carefully asked: "Doctor, how is my son?"


    "The fracture of the left lumbar vertebra has been treated with steel nails. However, the most serious injury to his head has caused intracranial hemorrhage. It is unclear whether he will wake up or have side effects." the doctor said objectively.


    Seeing Xun Hui''s body soften, Qiao Xuan immediately helped her up, but was pushed away by Xun Hui: "Scram, there is no need to pretend that you are not here, if Qian''er is not able to wake up, I will not stop with you!"


    Qiao Xuan understood the feelings of a mother, just like how she felt when she lost her child in her previous life.


    The nurse came over and handed Sheng Qian''s clothes to him. She hugged Sheng Qian tightly and tears flowed down her cheeks.


    Sheng Qian was still in the Intensive Care Unit and hadn''t woken up for an entire night. Looking at Xun Hui''s withered heart, inch by inch, Qiao Xuan felt really bad for her.


    She used a tissue to wipe her tears. Xun Hui did not refuse, maybe he no longer had the strength to refuse.


    "Who the hell are you and why are you doing this to him?" Xun Hui''s eyes were red and swollen, as if he was asking Qiao Xuan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.


    Qiao Xuan turned to look at Sheng Liang. He was standing at a place not far from them, leaning against the wall.


    The autumn night was cold, but he was only wearing a shirt, and his face was as pale as ever.


    "Sheng Liang, where are Peng Qian Er''s people?" Xun Hui also turned his head and looked at Sheng Liang. His tone of voice was no longer as sharp as before.


    Sheng Liang walked over, stood in front of her, and said solemnly: "At that time, we were only concerned with saving Little Four, and let him escape. Don''t worry, I will definitely find this person."


    Xun Hui nodded his head, and laughed a little desolately: "We don''t want to fight for anything, we just want to live a good life. Sheng Liang, what did aunty do wrong in the past, don''t be angry, and don''t be angry at Qian''er.


    Hearing her words, Qiao Xuan immediately wanted to explain. However, Sheng Liang pressed on Qiao Xuan''s shoulder and said: "Aunt Huai, can I see Little Four''s clothes?"


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s words, Xun Hui subconsciously hugged his clothes a little tighter, and then slowly let go and gave them to Sheng Liang reluctantly.


    Sheng Liang took it to the side and checked it, but didn''t find anything.


    He remembered seeing Sheng Qian''s laptop drop to the side after he had been hit, but there was no memory card on it and Sheng Qian''s phone was not there either. He did not believe that Sheng Qian would randomly place such an important thing.


    It should be on him.


    He turned his head and saw the pair of shoes on the ground. Just as he was about to get them, he heard the sound of footsteps from behind him, followed by Sheng Tianhao''s voice: "Xun Hui, what''s going on?


    Before Xun Hui could say anything, he started crying.


    Sheng Tianhao walked up to them and looked at Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan: "What are you two doing here?"


    "Dad." Sheng Liang called out, "When something happens, Little Four and I will be together."


    Sheng Tianhao almost blurted out, "Then why are you alright!"


    That furious tone also scared Qiao Xuan, causing him to unconsciously look at Sheng Liang.


    However, Sheng Liang only said: "Since you have come, I will be leaving first. Protect Little Four well, don''t let others have the chance to take advantage of you."


    "What do you mean, you''re threatening me!" When Sheng Tianhao said this, he was already dragging Qiao Xuan and walking to the side, and angrily puffing.


    Once they were outside, Qiao Xuan asked: "Didn''t you say that you are not allowed to tell the chairman, why would he come here?"


    As Sheng Liang opened the car door, he said: "Someone intentionally let him come here, but that''s fine too, as long as he''s here, Xiao Si will be fine."


    "What about now? Are we going home?" Qiao Xuan asked after getting on the car.


    Sheng Liang looked at the sky outside and said, "The sun is about to rise, why don''t we go watch the sunrise?"


    "What?" Qiao Xuan was a little unable to keep up with his thoughts, and at a time like this, he actually had the leisure to do so. "


    Sheng Liang did not reply as he drove away.


    After passing through the city, they stopped at the foot of the Mao Mountain on the east side of Sang City. Sheng Liang got off the car and asked Qiao Xuan: "Do you still have the strength to follow me up?"


    Since she had come, she would definitely accompany him.


    They climbed the stairs from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain for more than half an hour. At first, Qiao Xuan was still somewhat cold.


    Along the way, Sheng Liang didn''t say a single word, but Qiao Xuan could feel that he was venting something.


    In the hospital, no one could stand Xun Hui and Sheng Tianhao''s attitude towards him.


    When he finally reached the top of the mountain, the sun had just appeared over the horizon. The previously dark area now seemed to have a layer of gold lining it, appearing dazzling and dazzling.


    Qiao Xuan had never seen such a scene before. As he watched the sun break through the darkness bit by bit and dye the clouds red, he felt as if there was an emotion surging in his heart, something that he could not suppress.


    Qiao Xuan took out his mobile phone to take a picture. He looked at Sheng Liang and said, "The sunrise is really beautiful, it would be great if I could see it everyday."


    "No matter how great the scene is, if I watch too much, I won''t be able to feel anything." Sheng Liang sat down on a rock to the side, then laid down slowly with his hands behind his back.


    When Qiao Xuan saw this, he hurriedly said, "The cold air in this place is too thick.


    As she said that, she had already reached out to pull Sheng Liang, but Sheng Liang did not move.


    In the early morning light, Qiao Xuan was looking at Sheng Liang from top to bottom. His usual cold face still did not reveal any expression, and his eyes were still like a bottomless cold pond, suffused with fragmented light.


    When Qiao Xuan realized that they were even closer to him, Sheng Liang''s thin lips that carried a chill, had already kissed her lips.

 C83

    Unlike before, the Sheng Liang this time was gentle, her movements slow and gentle.


    It was like treating his lover.


    Qiao Xuan understood in his heart that he probably only treated her as Qi Luo, but she was unwilling to push him away.


    The coquettish and charming kiss finally ended. Sheng Liang slowly released her, his eyes filled with deep regret: "Sorry."


    Qiao Xuan straightened his body, sat by the side, and smiled lightly: "I do not wish to hear these three words.


    Sheng Liang also sat up, he looked at Qiao Xuan, and she looked towards the horizon.


    The sun had already risen, and the entire Sang City was clearly visible in front of his eyes. Qiao Xuan stood up and said, "Let''s go home."


    Even if there was someone else in his heart, when he was at his loneliest, it was enough for him to have her by his side.


    Qiao Xuan had always thought that perhaps she would never fall in love with another person in her life. Therefore, when she was still able to be by his side, she would definitely cherish this time.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan took a bath before going to sleep, and only woke up at noon.


    "Miss Qiao, you must be hungry. I''ll go and bring the food out for you." Qing Qing immediately said as he saw Qiao Xuan walking down the stairs.


    Qiao Xuan swept his gaze across the living room, he did not see Sheng Liang, and when he passed by his room, it seemed that there was no one inside.


    Qiao Xuan walked into the courtyard, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the sunlight, which was no longer strong, and stretched his body.


    The commander ran over from somewhere and squatted in front of Qiao Xuan, sticking out his tongue.


    Qiao Xuan crouched down and rubbed its head, "Have you not eaten as well? Let''s go and get you something nice to eat."


    Qiao Xuan turned and walked inside, the commander following behind her as he shouted at her happily.


    Qing Qing carried the food out to the kitchen and when she saw Qiao Xuan enter, she asked: "Miss Qiao, are you not going to eat?"


    "Leave it for now, we''ll eat later." Qiao Xuan took a carrot and gave it to the Commander, then took out meat stuffing, eggs and flour from the fridge to make dog food for the Commander.


    Qing Qing tidied up the room outside, and when he went in to take a look, Qiao Xuan had already put the small ball into the oven, and a fragrance floated out in a short while.


    Qing Qing looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "No wonder the commander is getting more and more tired of you. It''s so fragrant, even I want to eat it."


    Qiao Xuan laughed: "You can fight with it before you get into its mouth."


    "I don''t want it. I''m afraid it will bite me." Qing Qing curled his lips, then said, "Miss Qiao, since the Commander likes you so much, Mister will like you sooner or later as well."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned. She knew that Qing Qing did not mean to say it, but she was still a little disappointed.


    Especially this morning, after that kiss.


    With a ding sound from the oven, the time was up. Qiao Xuan also came back to reality and said, "Do you think that your husband is a dog?"


    Qing Qing quickly waved his hands: "That''s not what I meant."


    Of course she knew she wasn''t. She was just shifting her gaze.


    Qiao Xuan took out the little ball in gloves and crushed it in the commander''s bowl. Seeing that it was eating well, she couldn''t help but chuckle.


    If only Sheng Liang could be as easily satisfied as the commander.


    After eating, she went to the company. Before going to her office, she thought for a moment, then went to look for Sheng Liang.


    But his secretary said that he was not there and went out with Luo Jie.


    These few days, he seemed to be very busy, but Qiao Xuan didn''t even know what he was busy with.


    Slowly returning to his own office, the assistant saw her, then mysteriously ran over and whispered: "Director Qiao, you have good eyes, as expected, Young Master Liang is the best."


    Qiao Xuan looked at her, puzzled. "What do you mean?"


    The assistant said in disbelief, "You are together with Young Master Liang now, you should know that Young Master Qian got into a car accident last night, and today''s news spread, that Madam Sheng had unconditionally transferred the shares under her name to Young Master Liang. That is to say, Young Master Liang is currently the largest shareholder other than the Chairman of Golden Age Group."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she was actually completely unaware of this matter.


    Sheng Liang, what exactly was he doing behind her back?


    In the entire afternoon, Qiao Xuan was not paying attention at all. He held his phone and wanted to call Sheng Liang several times, but he did not manage to do so in the end.


    Since she had already decided to believe him no matter what, she didn''t want to ask until he said it.


    After work, just as Qiao Xuan was about to leave, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Sheng Liang''s name, she immediately answered: "Where are you?"


    "In the hospital. Little Four woke up." Sheng Liang said lightly.


    Qiao Xuan could not help but become excited as well. "That''s great, I''ll go and see him too."


    "Mn, I have already sent Luo Jie to pick you up."


    Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, at the same time, he was glad that he did not suspect anything.


    Luo Jie brought Qiao Xuan to the hospital and brought her to Sheng Qian''s ward. When Qiao Xuan went in, he saw that Sheng Liang had covered Sheng Qian''s bed.


    Luo Jie did not go in, and closed the door for them.


    Qiao Xuan walked over lightly. Seeing that Sheng Qian was still asleep, he asked softly: "How is he?"


    "He woke up around four and was conscious, but the doctor said he had lost too much blood and was too weak to communicate normally." While Sheng Liang was speaking, his gaze was still on the Infusion Pouch.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him and asked, "Did you not sleep at all this morning?"


    Sheng Liang also did not answer, but said: "I just want to know, who exactly is the person who has been scheming against us all this while."


    She also wanted to know, but there were some things that couldn''t be rushed.


    She stood at the side and looked at the side of Sheng Liang''s face. Remembering what the assistant had said, she tried asking: "Did Madam Sheng return?"


    Sheng Liang acknowledged: "Her health isn''t good, and she stayed an entire night. I was afraid that she might not be able to hold on and decided to let her go home."


    Qiao Xuan still remembered how Xun Hui treated him last night. It had only been an morning, yet she had already changed her attitude towards him and even gave him free shares.


    But she didn''t want to doubt Sheng Liang; he had his ways sooner or later. Or rather, it could be said that he finally made Xun Hui have a new understanding of him.


    "I''ll go out for a while. You stay here and watch him." Sheng Liang stood up and said.


    Qiao Xuan nodded, and after Sheng Liang left, he sat on the chair beside Sheng Qian''s bed.


    Then, she saw Sheng Qian actually open his eyes. Just as she wanted to cry out, she saw Sheng Qian make a silent gesture towards him.


    "Were you pretending to be asleep just now?" Qiao Xuan frowned, he really had a habit of doing nothing.


    Sheng Qian smiled, but his head was still wrapped in bandages, and his smile looked somewhat haggard: "Don''t tell Third Brother."


    "Why, do you suspect him?" Qiao Xuan''s heart unconsciously rose to her throat.


    However, Sheng Qian shook his head. "I don''t want him to be in danger as well."


    Qiao Xuan did not speak, she only looked at Sheng Qian. She somewhat understood that he had persuaded Xun Hui to give the shares to him in order to give Sheng Liang a better grasp of the situation.

 C84

    Just as they were talking, Xun Hui pushed the door and entered. Sheng Qian thought it was Sheng Liang and immediately closed his eyes again, but upon seeing him, he made a noise. "It''s me, stop pretending."


    Sheng Qian said in dissatisfaction: "Mom, when you come in, can you knock on the door?


    "So what if you''re not wearing clothes? What part of your body is that Mom hasn''t seen before?" Xun Hui rolled his eyes at him.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s somewhat unnatural expression, Sheng Qian frowned: "Mom, watch your words. There''s even a girl here."


    Then, he turned to Qiao Xuan and said, "Don''t mind me, my mother only has a bad brain."


    "You''re the one with a bad brain." Xun Hui almost wanted to knock his head, but he withdrew his hand halfway through, "A little heartless."


    Qiao Xuan looked at them and thought that this scene was familiar. It could be that he had met this before in his previous life at the Sheng Family.


    However, she didn''t expect that Xun Hui, who always looked noble and generous in front of outsiders, would be like ordinary families when he was with her own son.


    "By the way, Mom, where are my shoes?" Sheng Qian suddenly asked as he remembered something important.


    "Isn''t that so?" Xun Hui took out a new pair of shoes from under the bed.


    Sheng Qian said anxiously: "Not this pair, it''s the pair I wore yesterday."


    "The shoes were stained with blood. I was going to throw them away, and then the hospital cleaner said she wanted to give them to her son, so I gave them to her." It was just a pair of shoes, Xun Hui didn''t know why Sheng Qian cared so much.


    Sheng Qian rolled his eyes: "That''s mine, who asked you to give it away so casually. I don''t care which cleaner, go get it back for me!"


    Xun Hui felt that he was making trouble for nothing. She had already given it to him, why did he bring it back?


    When Sheng Liang returned from the outside, he heard their voices at the door. He walked to the side, took out his phone and called Luo Jie: "Don''t go back yet, go to the nurse''s station and ask them if they saw any cleaner taking a pair of shoes out this morning."


    After hanging up the phone, Sheng Liang decided to go to the balcony to take a look. He knew that the cleaners were all drying their clothes on the balcony.


    As soon as he turned, he bumped into someone. It was a girl, and he quickly apologized and knelt down to help her pick up the things that had fallen out of her bag.


    However, when he raised his head, wanting to give it to her, he suddenly froze.


    Sheng Liang''s mind was a complete blank, time seemed to have stopped. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.


    "Little Luo ¡­" After a long while, Sheng Liang finally called out.


    This time, it was definitely not wrong, and in front of him, was precisely Qi Luo.


    Qi Luo seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, standing up and running, not even bothering with anything else.


    Sheng Liang had seen her with great difficulty, how could he give up so easily?


    At the end of the corridor, Sheng Liang finally grabbed onto Qi Luo''s hand. He tightly clenched it, afraid that if he let go, they would never see each other again.


    "Let go! I don''t know you. You got the wrong person." Qi Luo said coldly.


    How could Sheng Liang believe that? If she wasn''t Qi Luo, then why would she have seen him run?


    He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder, his voice trembling with excitement. "Little Luo, where have you been all these years? Do you know that I''ve been looking for you for a long time?"


    Qi Luo looked up at him, then looked away and said evasively: "You really recognized the wrong person, I''m already married, I have a husband."


    Sheng Liang''s fingers suddenly trembled, and his hand unconsciously let go of her. However, it was only for a moment, and he quickly grabbed hold of her, "You don''t have to lie to me, I know that you haven''t.


    No matter how she struggled, Sheng Liang held onto her hand tightly. However, when he saw that someone had appeared in front of him, he stopped.


    When Qiao Xuan came out to look for him, he saw this scene. The girl that he was tightly pulling, was actually Qi Luo, right?


    So she was like this, with her short hair that fell to her ears, her white face, and her black and white eyes.


    When they were together, she was only nineteen, so after a few years, she was still young and looked like a student.


    She knew that she did not have the qualifications to ask anything. When she first met Sheng Liang, he only had Qi Luo in his heart, and she also knew about it later on.


    Moreover, he had never made any sort of promise to her, nor had he even had any thoughts of doing so.


    "Sheng Qian is looking for you. Since you have something on your mind, forget it." After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.


    Sheng Liang stood in place for a long time without moving an inch.


    "Your girlfriend? She''s beautiful." Qi Luo said, "Seems like she''s jealous, why aren''t you explaining?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer, but did not leave either. Holding onto her with one hand and taking out his phone with the other, he said, "I''ll call Qi Chu and have him come and pick you up."


    Qi Luo laughed: "You are truly a strange person. You don''t even know who I am, on what basis do you have to make decisions for me?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her, unable to say what he felt. He had always thought that if he saw Qi Luo again, he would definitely be very excited, and would definitely hug her and not let go. He would definitely not suppress his thoughts about her like in the past.


    But now that she was right in front of him and he was holding her hand, he couldn''t feel the reality.


    He knew that Qi Luo had purposely said that he recognized the wrong person, and her words just now were clearly an accusation towards him.


    Perhaps she had suddenly disappeared because she was tired of being with him. She did not like his indifference, nor did she like his patience, nor did she like his decision.


    Sheng Liang knew he had many shortcomings, he felt that he was like a vine that had grown up in a dark corner, and Qi Luo was the ray of hope that he could see. Her innocence and openness, and not knowing about the affairs of the world, were things that he would never be able to obtain in his entire life.


    But maybe, they really were people from different worlds. He could only chase after the sunlight, but not get it.


    But he still called Qi Chu, he wanted to personally hand Qi Luo over to her brother.


    While waiting for Qi Chu to arrive, Qi Luo sat on a bench in the corridor with his head lowered, looking very quiet.


    Sheng Liang stood at the opposite wall and looked at her without blinking, not moving his gaze away from her.


    Actually, she had changed a lot in the past few years. The young and tender face in her memory had already transformed into that of a woman''s, and she was no longer laughing without a care in the world.


    He no longer stuck to him like a bear, constantly calling him ''cool''.


    "Little Luo ¡­" Sheng Liang had a lot of things he wanted to say to her, but when he saw her raise her head and look at him, he was unable to say a single word.


    It''s just that I was still young then and didn''t know anything, so I thought that it was love. Now that I think about it, it isn''t love at all, so you don''t have to wait for me, just find someone to marry to me. Qi Luo finally opened his mouth and said.

 C85

    Sheng Liang did not seem to be surprised that she would say that. From the moment she did not admit that she was Qi Luo, she had already made up her mind that she would not be with him anymore.


    No, perhaps she had made up her mind when she left.


    A person who was determined to leave must have had a thousand reasons. Sheng Liang only said, "I haven''t agreed to the breakup that you mentioned."


    Qi Luo was stunned, her eyes suddenly became wet and cried out, "I was the one who wanted to leave you, why did I need your permission!"


    When he saw Qi Luo''s eyes turn red, Sheng Liang had already ran over and hugged Qi Luo tightly around his waist.


    At first, Qi Luo still struggled a few times, but she didn''t push him anymore. She wrapped her arms around his waist and sobbed, "Why did the heavens do this to me ¡­"


    "Tell me what happened." Sheng Liang comforted her softly, "Can we settle this together?"


    Qi Luo hugged him just like that, and didn''t reply for a long time. Then, she leisurely said.


    Sheng Liang wanted to ask more questions, but Qi Luo suddenly let go of him, stood up, and ran.


    Sheng Liang chased her to the outside, but he could no longer see her figure on the street.


    But at least Sheng Liang knew that she was still alive and she was still in the Sang City.


    When Qiao Xuan returned to the ward, he saw her listless look and asked: "What happened to you?"


    "I see Qi Luo." Qiao Xuan said in a daze.


    "Who?" Sheng Qian thought for a while and asked, "Qi Chu''s little sister, how do you know her?"


    Only now did Qiao Xuan realize that he said the wrong thing. At that time, nobody in Sheng Family knew about the relationship between Sheng Liang and Qi Luo.


    "I''ve seen people do it before." Qiao Xuan lied, because she was afraid, she immediately changed the topic, "Why do you have to look for those shoes?"


    "I like it." Sheng Qian smiled at her, then held his head and said, "No, I''m dizzy, help me lie down quickly."


    Qiao Xuan could not care less about his own emotions. He walked over quickly and carefully supported him, allowing him to lie down properly.


    "I''m so jealous of Third Bro. If you were my girlfriend, that would be great." Sheng Qian sighed with emotion, then stared fixedly at Qiao Xuan and asked, "If I had kissed you that day and announced our relationship to the old man, would you have followed me?"


    Qiao Xuan realized that he was talking about the day she was reborn. Speaking of which, he seemed to have also nearly kissed her that day, but just like last time, he didn''t continue.


    Qiao Xuan knew that there were no ''ifs'' in this world. When she had just woken up that day, the first person she saw was Sheng Liang.


    When Xun Hui came back, he said that the shoes could not be found, and the cleaner saw the blood inside, he felt that it was unlucky, so he threw it away in the end, and the rubbish was already taken away.


    Sheng Qian had always been coaxing him since the moment he lost his temper. He was afraid that he was afraid that it would be bad for his brain if he got too excited.


    Qiao Xuan quietly went out, closed the door, and leaned against the wall outside. No one knew what he was thinking.


    Right now, Sheng Liang should be reliving his old dreams with Qi Luo somewhere. In this world, there was probably only Qi Luo, who could make Sheng Liang care so much, and only she, who could make Sheng Liang smile without a burden.


    She didn''t wait for Sheng Liang and went home by herself. Sheng Qian was fine now, she could take a breather.


    However, she still couldn''t sleep. When she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the scene of Sheng Liang pulling Qi Luo.


    She thought that she would be able to smile and see Sheng Liang and Qi Luo happily together. But her heart was actually so small, she couldn''t make any wishes at all.


    From that day onwards, Sheng Liang did not return home, nor did he go to the company. The people from the company had always been looking for him.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was with Qi Luo, but she couldn''t tell others.


    Only Qi Luo was able to make Sheng Liang ignore everything else.


    "Director Qiao, little Lord Qi is here." The assistant came in and said.


    When Qiao Xuan raised his head, he saw that Qi Chu had already entered, and his heart was moved slightly. She thought that Qi Chu had probably come to move her out of Sheng Liang''s villa, perhaps because she was there, so Sheng Liang and Qi Luo had not come back yet.


    However, the first thing Qi Chu asked her was, "Is there still no news from Sheng Liang?"


    Qiao Xuan was startled for two seconds, then asked: "Isn''t Sheng Liang with Qi Luo?"


    Qi Chu frowned, "You still don''t know? That day at the hospital, before I even arrived, Little Luo ran off again. Sheng Liang went to look for her, but up till now, I can''t even contact him. "


    It was only then that Qiao Xuan found out that the matter was not as she had expected. However, even if Sheng Liang wanted to find Qi Luo, he had to at least give them some information.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly called Luo Jie. Luo Jie was also walking around anxiously, when he anxiously said: "I don''t know either. That day Young Master Liang told me to go find my shoes, and then I didn''t see him again. Later on, he called me and asked me to go to a bar on Red Maple Road to pick him up, but when I got there, he was not there at all, and no one had seen him. Miss Qiao, Young Master Liang, did anything happen to him? "


    With Sheng Liang''s personality, he wouldn''t be able to innocently stay in contact with them for so many days. Even if he wasn''t willing to call her, he would at least tell Luo Jie.


    She actually only just found out about this matter now. If it had happened earlier, then Sheng Liang definitely wouldn''t have lost touch with her for a few days.


    She immediately rushed out of the company and drove to the police station to call for help.


    When the captain saw her, he walked over and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Qiao. My name is Xiao Feng.


    Qiao Xuan had some impression of this person. Last time when they were looking for Sheng Qian, the Fei Li Tower security guards had been attacked, and he had even talked to Sheng Liang before.


    Qiao Xuan nodded his head, "Captain Xiao, I''ll have to trouble you to find him as soon as possible. I''m worried that he''s in danger."


    Very quickly, he arranged for people to help him search. Then, he asked Qiao Xuan: "Did he drive the car that day?"


    "He probably drove out. His Bentley is not at home." Qiao Xuan even said the license plate number.


    Xiao Feng then called the traffic team, asking them to check the traffic surveillance footage at every intersection in the city during that time period to see if there was any news of the car.


    "Don''t wait here. If you can''t find it out in a short period of time, go home and leave me your phone number. If there''s any news, I''ll let you know." Xiao Feng said.


    Since there was no better way, Qiao Xuan could only wait.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan could not stay still. She sat on the stairs outside and the commander laid beside her, looking listless.


    Sheng Liang, where is he?


    In a dilapidated basement, Sheng Liang was tied to a chair and his body was covered with injuries.


    Besides, he hadn''t eaten for days, and his lips were cracked.


    "Give him some water, don''t let him die. The higher-ups haven''t told us how to deal with him yet." Someone said.


    A big bearded man took a cup of water and poured it on Sheng Liang''s head, laughing out loud: What''s the use of having money, aren''t you just waiting to die here!

 C86

    Sheng Liang did not react at all. Drops of water dripped down from his hair and drenched his clothes as well.


    "I wonder what boss is thinking. If he wants us to serve such an ancestor, we might as well just kill him." someone said in dissatisfaction.


    The other person immediately scolded, "What do you know? Can you guess what boss is thinking?"


    The few of them looked sad, but they didn''t want to stay in this crappy place for a long time.


    "Come, come, let''s play cards. That kid won''t be able to escape anyways." Someone suggested.


    The few of them looked at Sheng Liang, not to mention the fact that he couldn''t move at all due to his injuries, even if he could move, he didn''t have the strength to struggle free from the ropes on his body.


    Besides, there was no other exit to this basement other than an air vent. Even if they were playing cards there, they would still be able to see it.


    They all climbed up the ladder.


    The basement was dead silent. Sheng Liang slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with a bottomless abyss of coldness.


    A few of them were playing cards together. They were talking and laughing loudly when they suddenly heard a loud bang. They were stunned. It took them a while to react and they quickly ran towards the basement entrance.


    Someone looked in and immediately shouted, "That brat ran out the window!"


    Sheng Liang climbed out from the window and didn''t see the sunlight for a long time. When he got outside, he found it hard to get used to the light and instinctively covered himself with his hands.


    Hearing that the other few people seemed to have run out the door to chase after him, Sheng Liang stood up with much difficulty and walked forward slowly while holding onto the wall.


    Luckily, this place was still densely populated. As long as he walked on the street, he would be able to get someone to call the police.


    A person suddenly rushed out from the side. Before he could see who it was, that person had already covered his mouth with one hand, while holding a syringe in the other hand, and forcefully stabbed it into his arm.


    Sheng Liang''s vision quickly blurred, but before he lost consciousness, he saw the ring on the man''s finger.


    He had never thought that the person who had been scheming behind his back was actually that person!


    Everything went black before Sheng Liang''s eyes as he completely lost consciousness, and his body softly slid to the ground.


    Those people ran over and upon seeing the scene in front of them, all of them lowered their heads. "Sorry, boss, we were too careless."


    This person did not pursue the matter and only threw the syringe at Sheng Liang. He then took off the disposable gloves and threw it at Sheng Liang: "Throw him into the sea. Clean his limbs."


    Those people immediately nodded, "Understood, boss."


    Inside Sheng Liang''s villa, Qiao Xuan was sleeping soundly on the sofa when she was suddenly woken up by the sound of a cell phone ringing. She immediately took her phone and saw that it was indeed Xiao Feng''s number.


    Xiao Feng nodded, and without waiting for Qiao Xuan to ask again, he directly said: "Come to the St. Ci''s Hospital."


    Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard the words "hospital", especially Xiao Feng''s low and deep tone, Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang''s situation was definitely not good.


    She immediately changed her clothes and drove the car through a red light. Finally, she arrived at the hospital and found Xiao Feng. Luo Jie, Mo Lin and Luo Keke were already there.


    When they were all looking at her with that sad eyes, Qiao Xuan didn''t even dare to move forward anymore.


    Luo Keke walked over and supported her by her shoulder, bringing her to the entrance of the emergency room.


    She looked at them, her voice trembling. "What happened to him?"


    They looked at each other, then it was Xiao Feng who said, "He was injected with too much insulin, causing his blood sugar to rapidly drop and his brain to run out of oxygen, so he suffered a shock. If he didn''t discover this in time, he might have lost his life."


    Just listening to Xiao Feng''s words, Qiao Xuan felt that it was impossible to accept. If it wasn''t for Luo Keke supporting her, she might not be able to stand up anymore.


    "Let me know who did it, I will skin him alive no matter what!" Luo Jie said angrily.


    No one said anything. The air was a little cold. Xiao Feng broke the silence and said, "We will find the person who harmed Mr. Sheng as soon as possible. If you have any clues, you must tell me in time."


    After Xiao Feng left, Mo Lin said to them, "This matter must have something to do with Sheng Hua. I will settle this score with him."


    Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Luo Keke immediately grabbed onto him. "Don''t be rash, okay? Why do you think Sheng Liang has been unwilling to take out that piece of evidence to protect you?


    Mo Lin paced back and forth on the spot and then kicked the wall: "Are we just going to let that bastard off like this? Sheng Liang was washed to the beach, how can we find any evidence.


    Although Qiao Xuan didn''t know what Luo Keke meant by those words, Sheng Liang was indeed protecting Mo Lin. She softly said, "Sheng Liang definitely doesn''t want us to do anything rash, let''s just wait for him to wake up."


    No matter what it was, as long as he was here, it would be easily solved.


    That was why they didn''t see Sheng Liang like before. When Sheng Liang was pushed out by the nurse, both Qiao Xuan and Luo Keke couldn''t help but cover their mouths as Qiao Xuan''s tears instantly flowed down.


    Sheng Liang was lying on the carriage, his body covered by a white sheet. After not seeing him for a few days, he had actually gotten this thin. His head and face were full of wounds, and his already pale face was now even more so as white as paper.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him. His chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and even breathing felt painful.


    She retreated to the side, watching as Luo Jie and the others helped to push him into the sickroom. She bit her lips, but couldn''t help but cry out loud.


    It was her fault. She could have sought him out earlier, and he wouldn''t have ended up like this.


    Seeing her crying so bitterly, Luo Keke hugged her lightly: "Don''t be sad, A Liang will definitely get better."


    Qiao Xuan lied down on Luo Keke''s shoulder as her tears wet her clothes.


    Sheng Liang had still not woken up. In the evening, Qiao Xuan said to Luo Keke, "You can all go back. I''ll take care of him here."


    Mo Lin didn''t want to leave, but Luo Keke dragged him and said: "A Liang needs some peace and quiet right now, Qiao Xuan is fine here, we''ll come back tomorrow."


    It wasn''t that Mo Lin didn''t understand what Luo Keke meant, but he was truly worried. He looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Then let Luo Jie stay behind.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not object, Mo Lin looked at Luo Jie, who nodded in understanding.


    After they left, Luo Jie said to Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, I''ll be right outside. Call me if there''s anything you need."


    Qiao Xuan seemed to be unable to hear what they were saying as her entire heart was focused on Sheng Liang. She gently held his hand and placed it on her face.


    And it was only at this moment that she felt that Sheng Liang belonged to her.

 C87

    On the second day, Xun Hui came over. It was only when he heard the nurse whispering to him that the two young masters from Sheng Family were with them that he found out that something had happened to Sheng Liang.


    He wanted to come, but he couldn''t move. He could only let Xun Hui come and see.


    Before Sheng Qian''s matter, Xun Hui did not have any good impression of him, he just kept feeling that he was sinister and made people feel uncomfortable.


    Even though they didn''t intentionally cause trouble for him like the others, they didn''t treat him nicely either.


    Even now, if Sheng Qian had not insisted, she would never have come over to see him, much less give him a share.


    But she felt that Sheng Qian was probably right. They had nothing, and that they would be safe.


    Sheng Liang was the same age as Sheng Qian, and in her eyes, he was still a child. Sheng Qian''s condition had already made her very sad, but Sheng Liang''s condition was clearly more serious than Sheng Qian''s.


    She walked up to him for the first time and said with a pained heart, "Who''s so cruel? How could you make him look like this?"


    Qiao Xuan had not closed her eyes the entire night, as she guarded by Sheng Liang''s side without leaving a step away. She had already calmed down, and said softly: "No matter who it is, they will definitely pay the price."


    Seeing her heartbroken face, Xun Hui didn''t say anymore and only asked: "His father still doesn''t know that something has happened to him. Should I tell him?"


    "No need." Sheng Tianhao wouldn''t care anyway.


    She started to have a glimmer of hope that Qi Luo would not disturb her ever again. After a long time, Sheng Liang would naturally forget about her.


    Indeed, in love, everyone was selfish, and she was no exception.


    Sheng Liang woke up on the seventh day, and looking at Qiao Xuan, his expression was a little lifeless.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him anxiously and asked softly, "Sheng Liang, what do you think?


    Luo Jie and the others also looked at him worriedly, but after Sheng Liang swept his eyes over them, he slowly asked, "Who are you?"


    Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse, but every word, felt like it had smashed into Qiao Xuan''s heart.


    "Young Master Liang, you ¡­ Don''t you recognize me? I''m Luo Jie. " Luo Jie said quickly.


    But in Sheng Liang''s eyes, it was as if he had lost all spirit.


    Seeing that he had closed his eyes and was no longer looking at them, Qiao Xuan''s heart sank.


    The doctor said it was because of the memory loss caused by his lack of oxygen in his brain for a long period of time, whether he could recover it or not was not known.


    They all looked at Qiao Xuan at the same time, but at this point, she had truly calmed down, and said indifferently: "This is pretty good, at least I can forget about those unhappy things."


    Perhaps it was the heavens'' pity that had given him the chance to be reborn.


    Qiao Xuan helped Sheng Liang complete the discharge procedures, and drove them back home. Qing Qing had already prepared food for them.


    Just as he got off the car, the commander ran over happily and rubbed Sheng Liang''s feet, as if he had not seen him in a long time, and was acting like a spoiled child.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang and said: "It''s called Commander."


    There wasn''t much of an introduction because Qiao Xuan didn''t want him to think about the past.


    Sheng Liang just nodded, then looked around and asked: "Is this my home?"


    "That''s right, Young Master Liang, let''s quickly go in. Qing Qing has cooked a lot of dishes that you love to eat." Luo Jie urged, and walked in first with the things.


    Sheng Liang stood there without moving, he lowered his head and looked at the commander who was still walking around him, and said softly: "I may not be able to remember the past, including all of you."


    "It''s alright, if you don''t remember, we will get to know each other again," Qiao Xuan laughed, "Hello, my name is Qiao Xuan."


    Sheng Liang looked down at her with a condescending gaze, a slight blush belonging to a big boy on his face. "I ¡­ Is he called Sheng Liang? "


    Qiao Xuan nodded heavily: "Yes, your name is Sheng Liang, and you live here."


    "You ¡­ Is it my girlfriend? "


    Qiao Xuan''s smile froze on her lips, and slowly faded: "I''m not, we''re just friends."


    Without waiting to see Sheng Liang''s reaction, Qiao Xuan dragged him inside: "It''s cold outside, let''s quickly go in."


    It was probably because Luo Jie had told Qing Qing in advance, and when he saw them enter, Qing Qing smiled and said: "Sir, you''re back. I''m Qing Qing."


    "Hello." After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Qiao Xuan who was beside him.


    "Let''s eat." Qiao Xuan held his hand. Seeing that he did not loosen his grip, she felt happy in her heart.


    Although he lost his memory, his taste remained the same. These days in the hospital, every day was a tasteless and tasteless liquid food. He ate a little more than usual.


    Qiao Xuan watched him from the side. Even if he did not remember the past, his movements were still extremely graceful.


    "Why are you always looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Sheng Liang raised his head and looked at her.


    Qiao Xuan blushed slightly upon being discovered: "Because you look very good when you eat."


    Sheng Liang looked at her for a while, then picked up a vegetable and gave it to her: "Eat."


    When Qiao Xuan saw him quickly lower his head in embarrassment, she unconsciously smiled.


    If it was the Sheng Liang of the past, he would definitely not be so cute.


    Perhaps, as he had said, there were some things that were not as bad as they appeared to be.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan told Sheng Liang to go upstairs to sleep. He had just been discharged from the hospital, his body had not fully recovered, and he still needed to rest.


    Sheng Liang asked her softly: "Can you take a bath first? Tell me where the bathroom is."


    Qiao Xuan brought him to the bathroom door. Just as she was about to leave, Sheng Liang stopped her: "Can you wait for me here?"


    From the start, Qiao Xuan had noticed that Sheng Liang seemed to have some sort of reliance on her. No matter where she went, he would always be in her line of sight.


    Maybe he didn''t remember anything now, so he didn''t have a sense of security.


    Qiao Xuan nodded, watched him enter, and closed the door for him.


    She leaned against the wall, listening to the splashing sound of the water inside. Thinking back to the change that Sheng Liang had undergone since he had woken up, she actually didn''t know if it was happiness or worry.


    If it was possible, she really hoped that he would never remember the past, but to him, those memories were also very precious, right? What right did she have to take them away?


    As Qiao Xuan was thinking of all these, suddenly, she heard a loud bang from inside, like a heavy object had fallen onto the ground. She immediately wanted to open the door and go in, but she hesitated when she placed her hands on the handle.


    Sheng Liang was bathing inside, he was sure that she wasn''t wearing anything. It wasn''t good for her to run in like this.


    She withdrew her hand and knocked on the door: "Sheng Liang, are you alright?"


    But Sheng Liang didn''t reply. She asked a lot of questions, but the results were all the same.


    Qiao Xuan thought back to when her addiction had flared up, and she felt the same way. Her heart lifted again, and without thinking about anything else, she hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

 C88

    Then, she saw Sheng Liang, wrapped in a bathrobe, fall not far from the door.


    "Sheng Liang, what''s wrong, wake up!" Qiao Xuan lightly pushed him, but saw that he did not have any reaction.


    Qiao Xuan thought that it was probably because he was in the shower and the hot water was rushing to his brain, causing him to be out of breath.


    She quickly put him down, put her hand under his neck, tilted his head back a little, and then broke his jaw, took a deep breath, and pressed her lips against his slightly cool ones.


    After doing this several times, Sheng Liang finally woke up. His eyes slowly regained clarity. "Qiao Xuan ¡­"


    Qiao Xuan almost thought that he had recovered his memories and was excited, "It''s me."


    "I felt dizzy and then I didn''t know anything." Sheng Liang slowly sat up and looked at Qiao Xuan, saying, "Help me wash my hair, I don''t think I can stand for too long."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, the excitement just now made her realize that she actually hoped more that Sheng Liang was complete, that he should know all of his memories.


    Qiao Xuan found a stool for him to sit on, and told him to sit beside the bathtub: "Lower your head."


    She did not dare to use the hot water, nor did she pour it directly on his head. Her fingers gently ruffled his hair.


    He was like an obedient child, neither moving nor speaking.


    This kind of him made Qiao Xuan''s heart ache, she would rather him still be as indifferent as he was before.


    His hair was a little too long, and when he dried it some covered his eyes.


    Qiao Xuan lowered his gaze and coincidentally looked right into his eyes. The indifference in his eyes had disappeared, and replacing it was caution and caution.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he was thinking in his heart, and she couldn''t completely understand his unfamiliarity towards this world. She really wanted to lie to him, and let him become her own.


    She liked his indifference, liked his pride, liked him to do what he said, liked his perseverance and perseverance.


    She liked everything about him because he was Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes were a little hot. She immediately turned her body and wiped them roughly with her hands. Then, she pretended that nothing had happened and continued to help him wipe his hair.


    "Do you like me?" Sheng Liang pulled her face back, and looked at her without blinking.


    Even though he could not remember anything, he was still as sharp as ever, and nothing could escape his eyes.


    Qiao Xuan laughed: "Is there any use in liking you? The person who is hiding in your heart, is not me."


    She dared to tell him because she knew he didn''t remember.


    Sheng Liang continued to stare at her, and said lightly: "Looks like the me from before really had no foresight."


    His voice was too soft, so Qiao Xuan was unable to hear him clearly. Unconsciously, Qiao Xuan asked, "What did you say?"


    She was in a daze when he suddenly kissed her on the corner of her mouth. She reacted and tried to push him away, but he grabbed her hand.


    He still smelled of bath milk, and his lips were wet and cool. The tip of his soft tongue slipped into her mouth and disturbed her thoughts.


    The hand on his chest gradually gave up all resistance. Under his lead, it even hooked onto his neck.


    Just like the time at the top of the mountain, they kissed until they could barely breathe before finally letting go.


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan''s rosy cheeks and said softly, "Be my girlfriend."


    Qiao Xuan''s body stiffened, she did not know whether she should be happy or not, but she could not laugh. She looked away and said, "I cannot promise you that, because you will definitely regret it."


    Sheng Liang held her face in his hands and said very seriously: "I don''t know who existed in my previous world, but right now, you are the only person in my world."


    But one day, he would remember everything, and then, what should she do?


    But when she looked at the person in front of her, she couldn''t bear to refuse.


    Even though he had changed, he was still Sheng Liang.


    "Alright." Qiao Xuan promised.


    She didn''t care about anything. It would be worth it if she could stay with him for one more second.


    Sheng Liang''s lips curled up into a smile, that smile was like the warm spring breeze blowing across her heart.


    After changing his clothes, Qiao Xuan took Sheng Liang to cut her hair. When they crossed the road, he held her hand tightly.


    The arrival of bliss was too sudden, and even now, Qiao Xuan still could not believe that it was true.


    Probably because Sheng Liang''s face was too eye-catching, and with so many people looking at them along the way, Qiao Xuan somewhat uncomfortably leaned towards Sheng Liang''s side. Sheng Liang simply took her in his arms.


    She looked up at him, but from this angle, all she could see was the side of his face.


    In fact, she had looked at him this way many times before, but there had never been a time where her heart was filled with joy.


    Even if he would regret it in the future, she wouldn''t be willing to give him up to someone else.


    When they arrived at the door of a hair salon, just as they were about to go in, a person walked out. When he saw Sheng Liang, he was immediately shocked. When did you come back? I was still searching the entire world for you, why didn''t you tell me? "


    Sheng Liang unknowingly looked at Qiao Xuan. Seeing that it was Qi Chu, Qiao Xuan said apologetically: "I''m sorry, I was busy these past few days taking care of him, so I forgot to tell you."


    Qi Chu looked at Sheng Liang and asked: "Then did you catch up to Little Luo or not?"


    Qiao Xuan turned his head and saw Sheng Liang''s confused look. "He doesn''t remember the past anymore," he said to Qi Chu.


    "Then ¡­"


    Qi Chu seemed to have something else he wanted to ask, so he hurriedly said, "Sorry, we still have things to do. Let''s talk another day."


    Without waiting for Qi Chu to react, Qiao Xuan had already pulled Sheng Liang inside.


    "Who was that person? Are you afraid of him?" When Sheng Liang saw Qiao Xuan''s expression, his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, he''s your friend, his name is Qi Chu, and he has a younger sister, Qi Luo. Do you remember?"


    It was just that she didn''t want to mention Qi Luo in front of her. She knew that she was being too selfish, so she tried to ask Sheng Liang probingly.


    "I don''t remember." Sheng Liang rubbed Qiao Xuan''s hair and said, "Do you want to change your hairstyle as well?


    Seeing that he had changed the topic, Qiao Xuan also relaxed his heart. "No, too young is not suitable for me."


    Qiao Xuan had already walked inside and when she turned around to see that Sheng Liang was still standing there, she beckoned to him: "Let''s go."


    Sheng Liang looked at her and suddenly there was someone overlapping with her in his head. It was a girl with short hair that reached her ears, who was wearing a pair of jeans and a pair of jeans.


    Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang''s expression was not right, and immediately ran back, pulling him back and asking: "What''s wrong, does your head hurt again?"


    "No, let''s go." Sheng Liang held her hand and walked inside, avoiding her concerned gaze.


    But the feeling just now, made him feel a little uneasy. He lowered his head and secretly looked at the top of Qiao Xuan''s hair.

 C89

    Sheng Liang still insisted for Qiao Xuan to change his hairstyle, and let the hairstylist heat her into wine red curls. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt that this effect was a little unexpected.


    It was more feminine, but not as old-fashioned as before.


    She stood up and turned to look at Sheng Liang. He had his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something.


    "What are you thinking?" Qiao Xuan walked over and asked.


    Sheng Liang raised his head and looked at her, before stroking her hair: "It''s very pretty."


    When he just raised his head, Qiao Xuan saw a trace of emptiness in his eyes. He saw her standing in front of him, but he didn''t hear her question.


    The happiness in Qiao Xuan''s heart was suddenly extinguished.


    When she returned home, Qing Qing came over to welcome her. She probably had something to say, but when she saw Qiao Xuan, she immediately exclaimed in shock, "Miss Qiao, the hair you made looks so nice!"


    This point, she already knew about it, it could only prove that Sheng Liang had good eyes.


    But what she was a little concerned about was that for the entire afternoon, Sheng Liang seemed to have been absent-minded.


    "He does look good, but the main thing is that he looks good."


    Hearing that, Qiao Xuan turned his head, only to realise that Sheng Qian was sitting on a sofa at the side.


    Qing Qing looked at her as if to say that she wanted to tell her that Sheng Qian was here.


    "Why are you here?" Qiao Xuan saw that he was sitting in a strange position, so she unconsciously walked over to help him up, saying, "Your injuries aren''t healed yet, why are you running around."


    Although it was a reprimand, Sheng Qian was actually very happy. With a smile on his face, he said: "I haven''t seen you for a long time, I missed you."


    Knowing that he was making fun of her again, Qiao Xuan did not want to bother with him, but before she could stand up, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and when she turned around, Sheng Liang had already pulled her to his side.


    This action, was too obvious of a declaration of sovereignty. Qiao Xuan unconsciously raised his eyes to look at him.


    Sheng Qian squinted her eyes slightly, as if she had seen through everything. "Could it be that if I lose my memories, I can openly act as a rogue?"


    Didn''t he cherish this woman before?


    "Who are you talking about?" Sheng Liang''s voice was not loud, but it carried an aura that could not be ignored.


    Sheng Qian secretly clenched his teeth as he stood up from the sofa, but he could not help but let out a cry of pain. When Qiao Xuan saw this, he wanted to help him up, but he was blocked.


    Sheng Qian sneered: "Third brother, the current you, is the real you right? In the past, you really wrapped yourself up too tightly."


    He was so strict that he couldn''t even tell his true feelings from his own.


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what he was talking about, but he was fully on guard against him.


    Qing Qing could not feel that the atmosphere was off, and seeing that they were all silent, he asked, "Is Young Master Qian going to stay and eat?"


    "Of course."


    "I don''t agree!"


    Sheng Qian and Sheng Liang said at almost the same time. Qing Qing looked at Qiao Xuan with difficulty: "Then should I cook for him or not?"


    Qiao Xuan realised that from the beginning, Sheng Liang was just jealous of Sheng Qian.


    She said to Qing Qing: "Prepare more."


    Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, Sheng Qian immediately smiled: "I''ve long heard that Qing Qing''s dishes are the most delicious."


    It was rare for Qing Qing to hear someone praise him so he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Then Young Master Qian must eat more in a while."


    Sheng Liang saw that they were joking and turned to go upstairs.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was about to chase after him, Sheng Qian screamed in pain and stood up with her hands on her waist. It looked like she couldn''t even stand properly.


    Sheng Liang was already halfway up the stairs, and when he looked back and saw this scene, especially Sheng Qian''s proud look, his face darkened even more.


    Actually Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Qian was doing this on purpose, she helped him to sit down, then sighed: "He doesn''t remember anything, what are you getting angry at him for."


    "It''s because he doesn''t remember that I was able to anger him. In the past, how could I be a match for him?" Sheng Qian shook his head helplessly and asked, "Didn''t the doctor say when would he recover his memories?"


    Qiao Xuan let out a long sigh, "When he was discovered by the sea, no one knew how long he had been unconscious and how long he had been floating in the ocean. It was even more impossible to know if he would still remember the things from the past."


    Sheng Qian was silent for a moment, then laughed: "What''s wrong with that? Look at his face just now, it was as black as an African immigrant''s, which means he cares about you a lot."


    "Who knows?" Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked at his room upstairs, but his mind was still thinking about the matter of him being absent-minded in the afternoon.


    "Why don''t I just stay here? I can definitely ensure that your feelings will rise up quickly." Sheng Qian spoke uncertainly, when he saw Qing Qing coming out, he immediately said, "Girl, help me clean up a room."


    Qing Qing pouted: "At our place, the little girl is scolding people."


    "I really like it when I call you little girl." Sheng Qian smiled at her charmingly, "Where do I live?"


    "Let''s go to the second room from the left. I''ll go and clean it up now." Qing Qing ran upstairs happily.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Qian and sincerely said, "No wonder so many women want to climb onto your bed."


    "Don''t say it''s so unpleasant. What I said to anyone was sincere, at least at the time." Sheng Qian suddenly moved closer to Qiao Xuan, his tone ambiguous: "But what I want the most is to let you see my sincerity."


    Qiao Xuan stepped back and laughed: "Eat."


    Sheng Qian looked at her as if she was escaping, smiled playfully, and muttered: "There will be a day when I will let you see it."


    Qiao Xuan went upstairs and knocked on the door of Sheng Liang''s room. Hearing his response, she pushed open the door and entered, seeing that he had closed the computer, not knowing what he was looking at.


    "Don''t be angry at Sheng Qian, he''s just like that. He always likes to make mischievous jokes." Qiao Xuan said carefully.


    "I already know, you don''t need to explain it to him." Sheng Liang retracted his eyes, covering up all his emotions.


    Seeing that he was alright, Qiao Xuan relaxed and said, "Let''s go down to eat."


    Sheng Liang did not object and followed Qiao Xuan downstairs. When they went in, Sheng Qian was already sitting there.


    And that location, was Sheng Liang''s.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang''s expression, and unconsciously grabbed his hand: "Let''s sit over here."


    Sheng Liang still did not say anything and followed Qiao Xuan over. However, when he passed by Sheng Qian, Sheng Qian suddenly pulled a chair to the side, and unerringly bumped into Sheng Liang''s arm. Seeing Sheng Liang instinctively covering his arm and frowning, he hurriedly said.


    Even though he knew that Sheng Qian was doing it on purpose, Qiao Xuan had no way of reprimanding him. She only grabbed his hand and checked: "Does it hurt?"


    Sheng Liang looked at Sheng Qian''s provocative eyes and said flatly: "I''m fine."


    He walked to the middle seat and sat down without saying a word. Qiao Xuan looked at him, his heart feeling even more uneasy.


    She also did not understand, previously, Sheng Qian and Sheng Liang had already resolved their previous hatred, but now, why was Sheng Qian targeting Sheng Liang again?

 C90

    "Aiya," Sheng Qian exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the dishes on the table, "Qing Qing really understands my taste."


    When he said that, he was already using his chopsticks to pick up a piece of vegetables. At that time, Sheng Liang was already one step ahead of him and had already caught his chopsticks, so his chopsticks had actually purposely blocked Sheng Liang''s path.


    Qiao Xuan immediately turned to look at Sheng Liang, only to see him lowering his eyebrows. No one could see the expression on his face, and he had to quietly change the topic.


    Sheng Qian smiled, "Thank you, third brother."


    Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Qian was doing it on purpose. How could he have the same taste as Sheng Liang?


    She hurriedly helped Sheng Liang pick up some dishes, then frowned at Sheng Qian: "Don''t go overboard."


    Sheng Qian did not refute her, he only lowered his head and laughed.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan accompanied Sheng Liang to watch TV. Although they said that they were watching TV, Sheng Liang kept changing positions while holding the remote control.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was not in a good mood, and compared to how he was expressionless in the past, his way of expressing it could be considered as an improvement.


    She pressed his hand down. "Don''t take him seriously, he just made you angry on purpose."


    Sheng Liang looked forward, and only after a long while did he turn his head to look at Qiao Xuan: "You like him?"


    His voice was deep and it was clear that he was feeling wronged. Moreover, it was a feeling that he had endured for a very long time before saying it out loud.


    If it was the Sheng Liang of the past, he would definitely not be like this. He would never reveal his true feelings in front of others.


    Qiao Xuan''s hand was still pressed onto Sheng Liang''s hand. She lowered her gaze as she smiled faintly: "Before I knew you, I didn''t know what love was. You taught me, so you ¡ª"


    Before Qiao Xuan could finish his words, his lips were suddenly covered by Sheng Liang''s kiss, and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.


    However, Sheng Liang did not intentionally deepen the kiss. After she was stunned, he released her and softly said: "I understand, I won''t ask you the same question again in the future."


    In fact, up until now, Qiao Xuan still felt that this was a beautiful dream, but she really couldn''t resist it. She even hoped that this dream would never wake up.


    Qiao Xuan curled her body into Sheng Liang''s embrace. At first, she was very careful, because she had never tried such intimate actions before. But when Sheng Liang reached out to embrace her, it was surprisingly so natural, as if they were lovers for a very long time.


    "Should I get a job?" Sheng Liang suddenly lowered his head and asked.


    Qiao Xuan laughed unwittingly: "You have a job, I told the company that we''re on vacation. If you feel that there''s nothing wrong with your body, we can go to work anytime."


    "But I... I don''t remember anything. " Sheng Liang said in frustration.


    Qiao Xuan held his hand, and looked up at him. "It''s alright, I''ll help you."


    Sheng Liang also did not say anything, he only lowered his head and kissed her once more. Then, Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to shrink back into his embrace.


    Sheng Qian laid on the railing of the stairs, looking at the scene below, his slender eyebrows slightly narrowed.


    When Qiao Xuan returned to his room, the moment he turned on the light and saw the person seated inside, she was immediately shocked. When she saw that it was Sheng Qian, she pressed her chest in shock: "Why are you always like this, in the future, please do not enter my room without permission."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s discontent, Sheng Qian actually completely ignored him. When Qiao Xuan sat in front of the makeup mirror, he also walked over and stood behind her while laughing: "It looks like you and my third brother are progressing quite well."


    Qiao Xuan''s hand paused for a moment, and after a good guess, he said lightly: "It has nothing to do with you."


    Sheng Qian sneered, he moved his head close to Qiao Xuan and looked at her in the mirror: "If I told you that he only kissed you because he saw me looking at you, would you believe me?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, but did not express it. "So what? He treats you as a love rival, is that not okay?"


    It was just like during the day when Sheng Liang had pulled her away from him. He didn''t like her to have too much interaction with him, wasn''t this normal?


    Sheng Qian curled his lips helplessly: "If it''s not duping, then I am his love rival. But don''t you think that his reaction isn''t like his at all?"


    Qiao Xuan smiled speechlessly, "That''s because he lost his memory. He doesn''t need to carry any more of his burden and he doesn''t need to pretend to be me. "Also, we have to go back to work in two days. I want to trouble you not to tell anyone about his amnesia."


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan, his gaze sweeping across them, "Going back to the company to work? Did you suggest this, or did he? "


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan turned his head and frowned: "Sheng Qian, what exactly do you want to say?"


    However, Sheng Qian shook his head: "Nothing, I''m just reminding you, this matter can''t be hidden from my big brother and old man so easily. Even if I don''t tell them, they might still be able to find out."


    Qiao Xuan understood this, but at least they couldn''t admit it first. If Sheng Hua knew that Sheng Liang had lost his memory, he would be even more reckless.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was half asleep and half awake. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the room, she squinted her eyes and vaguely saw a person''s shadow playing with something by the window.


    It took her a while to realize that it was Sheng Liang. She sat up and asked: "What are you doing?"


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her, and then moved to the side, revealing a few pots of flowers on the windowsill: "Qing Qing said that you like gardenia."


    Qiao Xuan got off the bed and walked to the window. Seeing that the white flowers seemed to still have morning dew on them, sparkling and translucent, accentuating the coldness of the Gardenia Flower, she turned around and looked at Sheng Liang. "Where did you get this?"


    There were no gardenia in the courtyard, and it was not the flowering period of a gardenia.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. As long as you like it." The corner of Sheng Liang''s mouth raised, revealing a simple and clean smile.


    She used to not even dare to imagine what Sheng Liang would look like when he smiled. She had even thought that she would never have the chance to see it in her entire life.


    And now, right in front of her, he was smiling at her alone.


    Qiao Xuan wanted to embrace him, but he immediately dodged the moment she touched him. However Qiao Xuan could still feel that there seemed to be a layer of moisture on his clothes, and she had just noticed that he seemed to be holding his hands behind his back.


    When Qiao Xuan wasn''t prepared for it, he quickly pulled his hand over. Seeing that there were a few wounds on his palm, and that blood was still flowing out, Qiao Xuan''s heart immediately tightened: "How did you do that?"


    Sheng Liang saw that she was staring at him unblinkingly, and after a long silence, he said: "These flowers ¡­. I stole it. I accidentally hit it when I was climbing over the fence. "

 C91

    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to describe her current feelings. She had never thought that Sheng Liang would actually do such a thing for her sake.


    Her eyes were moist, but this time she was moved.


    "Don''t be like this in the future. Gardenia is not a rare species, so you can buy it from a florist." Qiao Xuan looked away and pulled him to sit on the side of the bed. He took out the medicine box and carefully cleaned his wounds.


    "The flowers in the florist''s shop don''t last as long as those in the pot." Sheng Liang argued.


    Qiao Xuan was speechless. After a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where did you steal it? How do you know where I found it?"


    Sheng Liang seemed to be a little proud as he said, "It''s at the Flower Base not far from here. I saw it on the internet."


    Qiao Xuan suddenly realized that he was looking up these things on the computer the other day.


    However, that place, even though it wasn''t far from here, it was still a distance if one walked. Qiao Xuan said with a pained heart: "You probably ran there in the middle of the night, it''s not worth it just because of these few pots of flowers."


    "If you like it, it''s worth it."


    Qiao Xuan was squatting beside the bed. Hearing Sheng Liang''s words, she raised her head and met his gaze;


    His expression was so serious and confident, so simple that it didn''t have any other feelings mixed within. Although this Sheng Liang was a little unfamiliar, she understood that no one was born with complicated thoughts. The reason why he was so simple now was only because he didn''t remember the difficult situation he had been in for so many years.


    She didn''t know if it was good or bad for him, and she couldn''t make any decisions for him.


    Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang returning to his room to sleep, and when he closed the door and came out, he turned his head and saw Sheng Qian.


    Qiao Xuan seemed to know what he was going to say, so when she walked past him, she did not stop and directly went downstairs.


    "Am I that scary?" Sheng Qian followed closely behind her, smiling as he asked, "You seem to be afraid of me?"


    Qiao Xuan replied softly, "No."


    "You''re afraid that I''ll slander third brother, but you also know that it''s not normal for him to suddenly change so much, right?" Sheng Qian asked somewhat aggressively.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at him, and looked him straight in the eyes: "You''re thinking too much, for Sheng Liang to become like this is an accident, and not something he can control. Furthermore, I feel that there''s nothing wrong with this, at least I can forget about the injuries your family did to him and start over again."


    The expression in Sheng Qian''s eyes became increasingly unfathomable. He laughed and said, "Perhaps what you said is correct. Just pretend that I didn''t say anything just now."


    Since he had retreated a step, Qiao Xuan was not a person who would go easy on others. She softly replied: "What I just said, was not directed at you either."


    She had never hated Sheng Qian, she knew that although he always had a sly look on his face, he had never done anything to harm others.


    Sheng Qian retracted the bottomless gloom in his eyes, and revealed his signature naughty smile, as he said coquettishly: "But just now, I really was hurt by you. Should you compensate me?"


    Qiao Xuan unknowingly rolled her eyes and continued walking down. However, her heart was a lot more relaxed than before, "You should still pay more attention to your injuries, your lumbar spine won''t recover that easily."


    Sheng Qian suddenly sped up and blocked in front of her. With an expression of wild joy, he asked: "Are you concerned about me?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what to say. She was like a little fox, she didn''t dare to completely believe him.


    Especially when he seemed to like her.


    When Sheng Liang woke up, it was already afternoon. At that time, Qiao Xuan was giving the commander a bath, so she was unable to control it.


    "Commander, sit down."


    When Qiao Xuan heard Sheng Liang and turned around, he saw the commander already sitting obediently on the ground while Sheng Liang used a towel to help her wipe the water off her face.


    Qiao Xuan was a little stunned. At that moment, she thought that Sheng Liang had remembered the past, but his expression did not seem like it at all.


    "Commander still listens to you the most." Qiao Xuan lamented a little. Even if it was him who lost his memories, to a dog, it was still its master.


    Sheng Liang took the bath fluid from Qiao Xuan''s hands and said, "In the future, I''ll help him bathe, so that he doesn''t get wet."


    Qiao Xuan stood up and leaned against the wall, watching Sheng Liang water its body little by little starting from the commander''s tail. Although its movements looked a little awkward, the commander was still very cooperative.


    This scene was extremely pleasing to the eyes, so Qiao Xuan did not have the heart to ruin it.


    Only when Sheng Liang was finally done washing and was drying its hair, did he say: "Tomorrow, I''ll be going to the company. I''ve organized a portion of the personnel files that you normally need to contact, get familiar with it first so that they don''t see through it."


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan: "Aren''t you coming with me?"


    She pursed her lips and said: "My office isn''t too far away from yours. If you have anything to do, you can give me a call.


    Sheng Liang lowered his eyes and only asked after a long period of silence, "Does that mean no one else knows about our relationship and wants to avoid suspicion?"


    Qiao Xuan could hear the disappointment in his voice, and his heart started aching. He quickly said, "No, I''m just worried about your big brother ¡­"


    With the intimacy Sheng Liang had with her, Sheng Hua would definitely set him up even more.


    "Didn''t you say that I''m now the company''s second-largest shareholder? Don''t you think I have the right to transfer you to me?"


    When Sheng Liang said this, her eyes were the same as before, causing Qiao Xuan to be slightly shocked.


    It was something that had seeped into his bones. Even if he had forgotten what had happened in the past, he would not lose it.


    But unexpectedly, Sheng Liang did as he was told. The first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to notify the HR Department and move her office to his room.


    Without even the board''s approval.


    When Qiao Xuan heard this news, she was currently reporting her work to Sheng Tianhao. After hearing what Sheng Tianhao had to say, she felt a little worried and raised her head to see Sheng Tianhao''s expression.


    Sheng Tianhao flicked the pen in his hand, and actually laughed: "Miss Qiao, you are indeed a very capable woman, our Ol ''Three, has never been so bold for anyone before."


    Seeing that Sheng Tianhao was just dissatisfied with her and did not suspect anything else, Qiao Xuan said lightly: "If Chairman doesn''t have anything else, I''ll be leaving first. I want to go to my new office."


    Sheng Tianhao smiled and made a inviting gesture. As he watched Qiao Xuan open the door and leave, the smile on his face slowly faded and his gaze became terrifyingly gloomy.

    Qiao Xuan looked at her new office, which was located less than fifty metres away from Sheng Liang''s office. Separated by the glass wall, she saw that Sheng Liang was instructing the staff to help her with the arrangements.


    "Do you like it?" Seeing her enter, Sheng Liang turned and asked.


    It was simple in hue, simple in decoration, with a green luo on the table and an exquisite coffee cup. Qiao Xuan had never thought of this combination before, but the environment made her feel comfortable: "I like it."


    "Would you please make us two cups of coffee?" Sheng Liang said to her assistant.


    "Alright, Young Master Liang." The assistant walked out.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly called out to her. "Go out and buy it, you must definitely grind it on the spot."


    Even if he lost his memories, his taste wouldn''t change. Sheng Liang wouldn''t get used to drinking coffee in bags.


    The assistant was stunned for a moment, then said, "Got it, Director Qiao."


    Seeing that Sheng Liang seemed to be a little worried and self-reproaching, Qiao Xuan walked over, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "It''s alright, they don''t know about any of these things."


    Fortunately, Sheng Liang had been very low-key in the company in the past, and with someone as capable as Luo Jie beside him, there were many things that no one else was required to do.


    So even if there was something different, no one would notice.


    After placing everything down, Sheng Liang let the few people out. He leaned on the desk and hugged Qiao Xuan, then pointed at his office and said: "In the future, when you turn your head, you will be able to see me."


    This was the first time he had done something so intimate in the company, and he wasn''t used to it. Although he didn''t jump away, his body was very tense.


    In particular, he spoke right next to her ear, his cheek next to hers, his voice as sweet as red wine, his breath hot and seductive.


    "Alright, you can let go now. Others will see." Qiao Xuan''s face flushed red, but he could not suppress the joy in his heart, and lowered his head to laugh.


    Sheng Liang pressed the switch, and all the electric curtains were closed. He held her even more tightly, moving along her face, slowly moving to her lips, and then lightly biting her lips: "Now they can''t see it anymore."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart suddenly started beating intensely, and her face was covered with red clouds. She seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen next, and she knew that this was not her original intention.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was kissing her to the point that she couldn''t breathe, there was a knock on the door. When Qiao Xuan heard the voice of the assistant, her train of thoughts was immediately pulled back.


    But even so, when the assistant came in and saw her completely red face, she immediately understood what was going on. She did not dare to look at Sheng Liang''s face, lowered her head and walked in, placed the cup of coffee on the table and ran out.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang.


    "I need to go back and memorize the information you gave me. Go back and busy yourself." Sheng Liang walked over to Qiao Xuan''s side and quickly lowered his head to kiss the corner of his mouth.


    When Qiao Xuan reacted, he had already opened the door and went out.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was still thumping hard.


    The current Sheng Liang really gave her a nice surprise every day.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was about to return to his office, the assistant ran in anxiously and asked anxiously: "Did Young Master Liang get angry just now? I really did not mean it.


    Qiao Xuan turned around and looked at the assistant, and said with a hint of amusement: "How could he have the time to care about all these?"


    Furthermore, Sheng Liang was not such a petty person.


    The assistant patted his chest and heaved a long sigh of relief. "That''s good, that''s good."


    Qiao Xuan pressed the switch and pulled the electric curtain. Turning his head, he could see Sheng Liang not far away, who was looking at something in front of his computer.


    "Go and arrange Sheng Liang''s schedule for today. I want it now." Qiao Xuan said to the assistant.


    The assistant''s eyes turned and suddenly smiled as he leaned towards Qiao Xuan: "Boss Qiao, what surprise are you preparing for Young Master Liang?"


    Qiao Xuan was not surprised that she would have this kind of thought, in the eyes of these female employees, she must have spent a lot of effort to get to Sheng Liang.


    She had tried, but it was not what they had expected.


    She was only afraid of those daily necessities that the current Sheng Liang wouldn''t be able to handle.


    The assistant quickly passed Sheng Liang''s schedule to her. Qiao Xuan took a look, the rest were fine, the company''s regular meetings were not Sheng Liang''s responsibility, he could not speak.


    But in the middle of the night, there was actually a charity auction for the wine. All the famous people from all realms would definitely attend, and Sheng Hua would definitely go as well.


    It was fine that he had some flaws in front of others, but if Sheng Hua found out, it would be troublesome.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head to look at Sheng Liang again, and saw that Luo Jie was talking to him. After they were done talking, she called for an insider: "Don''t arrange anything else for this afternoon, we need to prepare for that charity ball."


    "Luo Jie has found a new assistant for me. He''ll be coming to see you in a while, you can tell him if you have anything to say." Sheng Liang also looked at Qiao Xuan through the glass wall, her voice gentle.


    "Alright." Qiao Xuan replied and hung up.


    At this time, Luo Jie changed his assistant for Sheng Liang, probably because he was afraid that others would find out about Sheng Liang''s amnesia. From the looks of it, this new assistant was someone they could trust.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was looking down at the documents, there was a knock on the door. Without raising her head, she casually replied: "Come in."


    "Good morning, Director Qiao. I am the new assistant to the Young Master Liang." A tall and thin young man with glasses came in and said respectfully.


    Hearing this voice, Qiao Xuan, who was initially not too concerned, suddenly raised her head. Seeing the person in front of her, she fiercely stood up. "Qiao Nan?"


    Qiao Nan could not hold in his laughter anymore, but he immediately coughed lightly, and maintained his new posture, saying politely: "Yes, Director Qiao, I am Qiao Nan, please advise."


    Qiao Xuan unconsciously turned to look at Sheng Liang. What was he thinking, why did he bring Qiao Nan into the company?


    No, it should be Luo Jie''s idea, since when did he become so independent?


    Qiao Xuan frowned, he was just about to call Luo Jie, but then the door to the office opened, and Luo Jie walked in.


    "Miss Qiao, don''t worry, this is actually Young Master Liang''s intention. Ever since we went to the New Meeting City, he had been wanting to get Qiao Nan into the company, right under Young Master Hua''s nose. He said that the most dangerous place is probably the safest place." Luo Jie looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Now that Young Master Liang has lost his memories, he needs someone he trust beside him. I feel that this is the right time, so I made the decision on my own.


    Moreover, Qiao Xuan really wanted to be with his family. She looked at Qiao Nan and said: "It''s good if you come, but in the company, you still have to be careful."

 C93

    Qiao Nan immediately made a gesture of acknowledgement, "Understood."


    Qiao Xuan looked at his familiar smile, and in his heart, he also felt a bit of comfort. This was good too, since he was by her side, she had a better chance of protecting him.


    After pushing away the afternoon meeting, Qiao Xuan went home with them. Luo Jie had already received the list of people to participate in the royal ball, so he needed to know who those people were.


    The car was stopped in the courtyard, and the moment they got off, the commander ran over and barked at Qiao Nan.


    When Luo Jie was about to stop, he saw Qiao Nan took something out from his pocket and waved it in front of the commander as if he was communicating with it using his sign language. He then opened his palm and the commander immediately stopped shouting and stood up with both of his claws in his palms.


    Luo Jie was dumbstruck. "What kind of technology is this?"


    Qiao Xuan laughed, and looked at Qiao Nan proudly: "What technology is there? He''s working part-time overseas as a dog trainer."


    Luo Jie had a face of enlightenment, but still praised: "Formidable."


    Qiao Nan patted the commander''s head, telling him to play by himself. Then, he looked at the huge courtyard and clicked his tongue: "This is the legendary mansion, but does it not feel lonely living in this kind of place?"


    Qiao Nan liked to be lively. If he was allowed to stay here, he would probably go crazy.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at Sheng Liang, his expression indifferent. He used to like the quiet him, or maybe he didn''t feel lonely at all.


    "Why have all of you come back?" Qing Qing was a little surprised to see them enter the door, then turned to Qiao Nan and asked, "Who is he?"


    Without waiting for someone to introduce him, Qiao Nan walked over and smiled: "My name is Qiao Nan, you are Qing Qing right? You look even better than I imagined."


    Girls couldn''t help but praise him, causing Qing Qing''s face to immediately flush red as she bashfully said, "Yes ¡­ Is that so? "


    But Luo Jie''s face darkened, he walked to the middle of them and grabbed Qing Qing''s hand: "She''s my girlfriend."


    Seeing his reaction, Qiao Nan burst into laughter, "Why are you so nervous, it''s not like I''m going to fight over it with you."


    Ignoring their laughter, Sheng Liang softly said to Qiao Xuan: "I''m a little dizzy, can you accompany me back to my room?"


    Qiao Xuan saw that his expression was indeed not looking good, and she started to blame herself. He had only been out of the hospital for a few days, and his body had not even fully recovered.


    Qiao Xuan followed him upstairs and returned to his room, letting him lie on the bed. Qiao Xuan closed his eyes as he looked at Sheng Liang, saying worriedly, "If you feel too dizzy, you should go to the hospital to check."


    The doctor had said before that he might have aftereffects, not just memory loss.


    Sheng Liang shook his head lightly, but didn''t open his eyes: "No need, I''m fine, I''ll just sleep for a bit."


    When he finished speaking, it was as if he had really fallen asleep. Qiao Xuan carefully covered him with the blanket, looking at his pale white face, he was still a little worried. He took out his phone and called Luo Keke.


    Luo Keke came alone. She said that Mo Lin had something to attend to and left the Sang City, so she drew some blood for Sheng Liang. She only knew the results after taking it back for analysis.


    "Sheng Liang''s addiction hasn''t started acting up again these few days, right?" Luo Keke asked.


    Qiao Xuan nodded his head: "If you didn''t say it, I would have forgotten. Is this related to the medicine he was injected with?"


    Luo Keke acknowledged: "There have been cases abroad. There are patients who had to pass out due to insulin injection, and upon waking up, they accidentally stopped their addiction."


    Qiao Xuan had witnessed Sheng Liang being tortured by the drug addiction until he wished for death, and did not even hesitate to commit suicide. Now, he finally did not need to endure that kind of pain.


    "I wonder when he will recover his memories." Qiao Xuan lowered his eyes, looking disappointed.


    Luo Keke gently held her hand: "Don''t worry, he''ll be fine."


    Qiao Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "There are some things that I have never told anyone before, I actually do not wish for him to think of the past. I know that I am very selfish, but I really think so."


    "Is it because of Qi Luo?" Luo Keke hit the nail on the head and asked.


    Qiao Xuan looked up at her, and only after a long while did he say: "Qi Luo is not dead, she has appeared again."


    Previously, when something happened to Sheng Liang, it was inconvenient for Luo Keke and Mo Lin to stay in the hospital, so Qiao Xuan didn''t have the chance to tell her about Qi Luo.


    Luo Keke was shocked as expected. She frowned: "You saw her?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "It''s not me, it''s Sheng Liang who saw it. Moreover, it''s also because he went to chase after Qi Luo that something happened."


    Although until now, Qiao Xuan still could not understand how he fell into the ocean, and the police could not find any clues.


    Luo Keke''s expression slowly calmed down from shock, then asked. "So if Qi Luo really comes back, if A''Liang remembers what happened in the past, would you leave him?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know, she hadn''t thought about this problem. To be exact, she didn''t want to think about it.


    She had long since realized that she could no longer extricate herself from loving Sheng Liang.


    If she really lost him, would she still be able to turn around and leave in such a carefree manner, as she had expected?


    After Luo Keke left, Qiao Xuan sat alone in a daze for a long time without moving.


    She had never thought that even someone as free and easy as her would be troubled by love.


    This feeling was like poison wine, burning one''s heart to the bone as he ate to his heart''s content.


    "What''s the matter with you?"


    Sheng Liang''s voice suddenly sounded by her ear. Qiao Xuan suddenly regained her senses and turned around, only to see that Sheng Liang had already sat up and was looking at her worriedly.


    Actually, she understood that even if she was afraid, some things would still happen, so what she needed to do was to try her best to cherish every second of it while he was by her side.


    She put her arms around him slowly and rested her head on his shoulder.


    "Are there a lot of things in the study? Just take any one of them." Sheng Liang gently stroked her hair.


    He indeed had a lot of antiques and paintings in his study, but Qiao Xuan didn''t want to move them. She was afraid that Sheng Liang would be unhappy when he recovered his memories.


    So she planned to auction off one of her sapphire necklaces.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was fine, they went downstairs together. Sheng Liang had gone to study the people who were going to the ball with Luo Jie, so Qiao Xuan went out to see the commander.


    The commander had just finished eating his dog food and was happily rubbing his hands on Qiao Xuan''s legs. Qiao Xuan could not hold back his laughter, "Don''t rub your hands anymore, you''ve dirtied my clothes."


    Qiao Nan walked over while chewing on a carrot. When the commander saw that he was about to rush to him, Qiao Nan raised his hand and threw the carrot towards him.


    "Why are you snatching food from dogs?" Qiao Xuan glanced at him sideways.


    "He eats much better than I do. Humans are not as good as dogs." Qiao Nan sighed, seeing the dog pot on the ground, he immediately squatted down and picked it up, observing for a while, then suddenly exclaimed: "Sis, Sis, Sis, do you know what this is?!"

 C94

    Seeing him so excited, Qiao Xuan frowned.


    Qiao Nan looked at his sister in disdain, and tried his best to sound as calm as possible, "I am sure of it now, this is the Water Immortal Pot from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty. It is worth at least 200 million on the market."


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything for a long time. She was not actually shocked by the number, it was not strange for such a thing to appear in Sheng Liang''s house.


    "Do I even need to research it? When I was overseas, there was a local auction where the exact same kind of water immortal basin was being auctioned off. The local newspapers all reported this to be crazy!" After Qiao Nan finished speaking, he sighed, "Several hundred million, to actually use it as a dog pot, you guys are truly ambitious."


    Qiao Xuan watched as Qiao Nan carefully wiped it and took it in, but she still stood in her original position without moving.


    Of course she didn''t know the value of this thing, but did Sheng Liang not know how much he had collected?


    She turned around and walked in as well. Sheng Liang then said, "Tonight, take this thing and auction it."


    However, Qiao Nan didn''t let go as he held her in his arms, and said with a fawning smile, "Brother-in-law, if you don''t care, give it to me, why did you give it to outsiders?"


    "There are many clean ones in the study, you can choose from." Sheng Liang stretched out his hand to look at Qiao Nan, "This is fine."


    Qiao Nan still did not let go. Qiao Xuan could tell that Sheng Liang was a little unhappy and she hurriedly walked over and took it from Qiao Nan''s hands, then passed it to him. "Don''t bother with him.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, took the basin, and passed it to Luo Jie: "Find a box and put it away."


    "Oh." Luo Jie was a little dazed. Why did he feel a little chill just now?


    Only after all of them had spread out to do their own things did Qiao Xuan slowly walk behind Sheng Liang, and softly said. "Don''t be angry at Qiao Nan, he really was just speaking casually."


    Sheng Liang did not turn back, but accurately grabbed onto her hand. "I''m not angry, he''s your little brother, I don''t want to give him anything bad."


    When she saw that his expression was off just now, Qiao Xuan had thought that he would think that Qiao Nan was a greedy person. However, after hearing his words, she finally relaxed and hugged his waist from behind, "You don''t have to give me anything, as long as you''re here, it''s enough."


    After a long while, Sheng Liang finally turned around and looked at her, gently pressing a kiss on her forehead: "Me too."


    Even if it was only these three words, Qiao Xuan was still very happy. In this life, to have such a time with him, she was already satisfied.


    Around five o''clock, they finished their preparations. Seeing Qiao Xuan, who was dressed in a blue evening gown, coming down from the stairs, everyone''s gaze seemed to be fixed on him.


    "Sis, those who don''t know might think that you''re a goddess that has descended from the heavens." Qiao Nan said with a casual smile.


    Qiao Xuan glanced at him sideways, but when he met Sheng Liang''s gaze, his face unconsciously flushed red: "Does it look good?"


    "Very pretty." Sheng Liang then added, "She''s prettier than clothes."


    Qing Qing snickered from the side: "It''s really rare to hear such praise from mister."


    Yeah, if it was the old Sheng Liang, he would probably nod his head symbolically.


    The him of the past was really suppressing himself, so Qiao Xuan hoped that he could laugh more now and truly feel happy.


    The charity auction was set up at the Champs-Elys¨¦es Hotel in Sang City. When they entered, there were already many people there, holding glasses and walking around with different people.


    This kind of occasion was to give these people a chance to socialize and expand their business.


    "Isn''t this the Young Master Liang? I heard that you''re already the second largest shareholder of Golden Age Tianan Group. Congratulations." A middle-aged man with an oily and powdered face said while smiling at Sheng Liang.


    "Thank you, Director Xu." Sheng Liang only said these four words, and when he saw this man reach out to shake hands with him, he did not seem to want to reply.


    In the past, Sheng Liang disdained participating in these kinds of activities the most, and he especially disliked this kind of small shop owner.


    But Qiao Xuan still said from the side: "I''m sorry Boss Xu, our Young Master Liang''s health has not been well recently, don''t mind me."


    "I don''t mind, I don''t mind." The man''s gaze swept across Qiao Xuan, and laughed until his face was full of wrinkles, "Miss Qiao right? I have long heard of Miss Qiao''s name, and have always said that you are the most capable woman in the industry.


    Seeing the man take out a glass of red wine from the waiter''s tray and offering it to him, Qiao Xuan hesitated slightly. But before she could react, Sheng Liang had already received it, raised his head and drank it all, then looked at the man and said: "Is it okay now?"


    Qiao Xuan naturally did not see Sheng Liang''s expression, but from the man''s submissive appearance, Qiao Xuan knew that he must have looked very fierce earlier.


    He was protecting her, and that pleased her.


    Qiao Xuan held Sheng Liang''s arm, and walked past that man. She whispered to Sheng Liang: "If you are angry at this kind of person, it will ruin your value."


    "He can''t just look at you. It''s already not bad that I didn''t blind him." Sheng Liang was still looking forward, but his tone clearly showed his displeasure.


    Qiao Xuan held onto his hand even more tightly, and laughed lightly: "I don''t care about this, just do your best."


    "I care," Sheng Liang said as he caressed the corner of her lips with his other hand. "You are my woman, so no one else is allowed to covet you."


    Qiao Xuan raised her eyes to look at him, then quickly shifted her gaze away. Her face had already flushed red: "When did you learn this?"


    It wasn''t his style to say such sweet words.


    "I read it in a book." Sheng Liang didn''t try to conceal anything after he finished speaking and even lowered his head to kiss Qiao Xuan''s cheek, completely ignoring the fact that there were so many people around him.


    Although it was not the first time he was ambushed, but in this kind of situation, Qiao Xuan was still shocked, and quickly went to see the reaction of the person beside him.


    Initially, she had wanted to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention to Sheng Liang, as this would save her some trouble.


    However, his sudden action would definitely attract everyone''s attention. It might even be reported by the media.


    Sure enough, everyone who had been exchanging pleasantries immediately quietened down and looked over in unison.


    Qiao Xuan immediately pulled Sheng Liang to the corner to the resting area. After they finally avoided some eyes, she softly said to him, "From now on, you don''t have to say or do anything at all. Just leave the rest to me."


    Before waiting for Sheng Liang''s response, Qiao Xuan heard a voice ridiculing him, "Ol ''Three, you''ve really grown up. You want to make the entire upper class of Sang City laugh at me?"

 C95

    It was Sheng Hua.


    Because on the first day after she was reborn, Qiao Xuan had already been coincidentally with Sheng Liang. If not for Sheng Hua''s reminder, she would have forgotten that she should have been Sheng Hua''s fiancee.


    This identity would definitely attract the attention of others, but deliberately making Sheng Hua a joke wasn''t her intention at all.


    Just as Sheng Hua walked closer, Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan, wanting to shield her behind him, but Qiao Xuan did not move. She only gently held his hand, so that he did not have to worry.


    "That''s your own idea. We don''t mean that." Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Hua, not showing any signs of cowardice.


    Sheng Hua was smiling, but his eyes behind the lens were gloomy and cold: "Whether or not there''s something that''s important, what''s important is that I will never let him get what he wants."


    Qiao Xuan could feel that after Sheng Hua finished speaking, Sheng Liang''s fingers tightened slightly as she unconsciously turned her head to look at him. However, his expression did not change at all.


    It was because he didn''t like Sheng Hua''s attitude.


    As if they were trying to show off on purpose, Sheng Hua turned around and left after speaking, but at least Qiao Xuan knew that he didn''t betray them, and he still didn''t know about Sheng Liang''s amnesia.


    "Stay away from him in the future. This person is really annoying." Sheng Liang''s voice turned slightly cold, then he lowered his head and looked at her, "There''s also that Sheng Qian."


    Was he jealous? Did he think that every man who came near her was plotting against her?


    Qiao Xuan laughed, how could she have such charisma?


    "Third brother, it''s not a good thing to speak ill of others behind their backs." Sheng Qian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his face carrying a cunning smile like a fox''s.


    Sheng Liang did not feel guilty at all, he only coldly looked at Sheng Qian: "If you know your limits, then scram."


    Sheng Qian sneered: "Third brother, you forgot, I''m still staying at your place, scram."


    The anger in Sheng Liang''s eyes was not hidden at all, it was like he was burning Sheng Qian to death. Qiao Xuan watched from the side and said: "The auction is about to begin, let''s go over there."


    Sheng Qian still laughed, and deliberately walked behind, pulling Qiao Xuan and whispering to him: "Don''t you think, Third Brother is much more fun now than before."


    Qiao Xuan immediately stared at him: "Don''t speak nonsense. If anything happens to him, you won''t have any benefits either."


    "I do," Sheng Qian said as he looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "You lie too much, even you believe me?"


    Sheng Qian was a too cunning person, so she wouldn''t reveal her true feelings. She didn''t dare believe his words.


    Sheng Qian did not argue, he only smiled, and the blue diamond earring on his right ear shone brightly under the light.


    When the auction started, everyone stood in the middle of the hall and watched as the auctioneer opened the first item.


    "This is a brooch donated by the founder of this charity ball, the chairman of Orange International, Ms. Liu Fan. This brooch is shaped like an iris, and is surrounded by blue diamonds. The middle part of the stamen is amber. Overall, it looks noble but it doesn''t lose any meaning. The starting price of this brooch is 5 million." After the host finished his introduction, he smiled at the crowd and said, "Everyone can start bidding now."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the brooch, and said lightly: "So beautiful."


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her. "You like it?"


    Qiao Xuan knew what he was thinking and immediately shook his head: "I am just expressing my views, I am not interested in these things."


    Even if she participated in all sorts of dinners, she wouldn''t wear any jewelry. It was too much of a burden.


    Sheng Qian, who was not far from them, also looked over and raised his hand. "Twenty million."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Qian in shock. The people in front of him were clearly over a million, and they had only called for 10 million, yet he had shouted out 20 million right away. Was he crazy?


    As if he felt her gaze, Sheng Qian turned his head again and looked at her with a smile.


    "Alright, Golden Age''s Young Master Qian has already called 20 million, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" The host''s eyes swept across the crowd, "If there isn''t anything, then this brooch belongs to Young Master Qian."


    "30 million."


    This deep voice was like a bomb, causing everyone to immediately explode in anger. They all followed the voice and looked over.


    Qiao Xuan was still in shock from what Sheng Qian had said, when she suddenly saw everyone looking at her. To be precise, when she looked at the person beside her, she suddenly realised that the person who bid was Sheng Liang!


    "Thirty million!" Someone directly called out for thirty million! " The host''s voice also became excited, "That mister is ¡ª is he Golden Age''s Young Master Liang? It seems that Golden Age''s Heavenly An is indeed powerful, both gongzi are so outspoken, then, is there anyone willing to increase the bid?"


    Qiao Xuan did not have time to bother with the host''s words, she silently pulled on Sheng Liang: "What are you doing, didn''t I already say that you can''t speak anymore."


    He actually dared to openly steal the brooch from Sheng Qian, becoming the center of attention. Does he not know how dangerous this is?


    "I just want to give you what you like. I don''t care about anything else." Sheng Liang looked like he did not care.


    Qiao Xuan was speechless, even with the current Sheng Liang, she still had no way to change his mind.


    "40 million." Sheng Qian raised his hand again.


    Qiao Xuan lowered her eyes, pursed her lips without saying a word, these two people were truly crazy.


    She knew that Sheng Liang was definitely going to win it. Before he called out a price again, she grabbed his arm and said: "I don''t like that thing. Even if you were to give it to me, I won''t take it."


    But Sheng Liang acted as if he did not hear her words, and looked towards the stage: "60 million."


    The crowd immediately turned silent.


    Even the host was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked if there was anyone else who had raised the bid. No one said anything.


    In truth, at the end, only Sheng Liang and Sheng Qian were bidding, but Sheng Qian did not say a word, he turned and looked at Sheng Liang, laughing till he did not understand.


    After the host shouted a few times, no one raised the bid, so he said: "This brooch now belongs to the Young Master Liang, I would like to invite Lady Liu Fan to personally hand it to the Young Master Liang."


    Liu Fan went up the stage amidst the applause, took the brooch and placed it inside the embroidered box. Just as he was about to hand it over to Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang had already pulled Qiao Xuan up onto the stage.


    Liu Fan did not move, and waited for them to come over. Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not seem to understand the situation, she smiled and said: "This person should be the person that the Young Master Liang likes, as expected, he is different, well-suited for this brooch''s concept."


    Sheng Liang said from the side: "Her name is Qiao Xuan, she is the chief financial officer of Golden Age."


    Liu Fan was surprised for a moment, and then said: "So it''s Miss Qiao, everyone knows about Miss Qiao in this circle, I never thought that not only did she have talent, but she was also so beautiful, no wonder Young Master Liang was willing to spend so much money."

 C96

    There was no doubt about Qiao Xuan''s capabilities in the industry, but she was the same as Sheng Liang, she did not like this kind of occasion, so very few people had seen her, and had only heard of her name.


    However, after the party, she would be known by everyone. Not to mention these people, this event would be broadcast live. Tomorrow morning, everyone would know who she was.


    Liu Fan personally helped put on a brooch for Qiao Xuan. When they walked down, she was still praising Qiao Xuan''s talent and looks.


    Qiao Xuan did not take much time to look at the next few items that were auctioned, as her mind was preoccupied with other matters.


    What happened just now, everyone''s attention seemed to be on her. This way was also good, if Sheng Liang didn''t pay more attention, he would be relatively safe.


    "Still angry with me?" Sheng Liang held onto Qiao Xuan''s hand, his tone sounding a little cautious.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, she was not angry at first, she was just worried that his memory loss would be exposed to the crowd.


    "That''s good." There was a faint smile on Sheng Liang''s lips.


    She knew that he was easily satisfied, and she didn''t need to think about all that scheming and scheming to do what he wanted to do.


    Wasn''t this what she had always hoped for? In that case, what she was worried about was the simple matter of protecting him.


    He could do whatever he wanted, all the consequences.


    It wasn''t until they heard the host introduce the Water Immortal Pot did the two of them come back to their senses. It was just as Qiao Nan had said, after appraisal, it was indeed made by the Song Dynasty''s You Kiln, with a starting price of 100 million.


    A lot of people were calling out prices, and very quickly, they raised them to two hundred million. However, Qiao Xuan realized that Sheng Liang did not seem to care about all this, his gaze was fixated on the people who were continuously shouting out prices.


    This water immortal basin was probably the most valuable item in this charity auction. Everyone''s reactions were very enthusiastic, and in just a short while, it was raised to one billion!


    Thinking about how they had been continuously feeding this bowl to the commander before, Qiao Xuan started to understand why Qiao Nan had almost gone crazy.


    "1.2 billion." someone shouted.


    Sheng Liang''s gaze immediately turned towards the direction of the voice. He saw an unremarkable man in the corner and casually raised his hand.


    It was a man in his fifties. His hair was a little white at the temples and his appearance was average.


    The auctioneer called out a few times, but no one called out a price. Therefore, the water immortal pot naturally became the man''s.


    Qiao Xuan felt that Sheng Liang had been staring at that man the entire time, and unknowingly, she had also paid special attention to him, but he was really very ordinary, not like a person who could take out two hundred million.


    "Could he be a swindler?" Qiao Xuan asked in a low voice.


    Sheng Liang acted as if he did not hear her words, and did not reply, but when the support person asked him to go up and give the Water Immortal Pot to that person, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately walked over.


    Qiao Xuan was watching from the back. The man received the water immortal basin and was about to step down when Sheng Liang asked him, "Mister, what''s your surname?"


    "Surname Li, Li Jiumu." After he finished speaking, the man left without even looking back at Sheng Liang.


    She didn''t know if it was just an illusion on Qiao Xuan''s part, but she seemed to see a dark look flash across Sheng Liang''s eyes.


    That shouldn''t be his current expression.


    Sheng Qian squeezed through the crowd once again and smiled as he looked at Sheng Liang: "Third Brother really shocked me today. First, you spent sixty million to snatch a brooch from me, and then, you donated an antique worth one and a half billion. I didn''t even know that Third Brother was this rich."


    Therefore, the villas under their names were not the best, and the cars in their homes were not the most luxurious either. Even from the time they were young, there were many family affairs that required them to do it themselves.


    It was not bad for Sheng Liang to own 30% of the company''s shares, but that was not something he could cash out. What he could control were only his annual salary and dividends.


    But the moment he made a move, it turned out to be sixty million, and the Song Dynasty''s Ru Huo Kiln had also casually donated money, Sheng Qian knew, that his family still had many good things.


    Thinking about it, his wealth was truly much more than Sheng Hua''s, but over these years, he could actually endure and not release it.


    It seemed like what he wanted wasn''t just the right to inherit Sheng Family.


    Sheng Liang completely ignored Sheng Qian, and pulled Qiao Xuan along and was about to leave, but a path was blocked.


    Seeing their shocked expressions, Qi Chu laughed and said: "What''s wrong, it''s like seeing me was like seeing a ghost."


    Qiao Xuan laughed, "I don''t think I saw you earlier."


    "I went somewhere else, but I didn''t make it in time. Did I miss something?" Qi Chu saw that the three of them had different expressions and could not help but ask.


    Sheng Qian took the chance and pulled Qiao Xuan over, then said to Qi Chu: "When you go back and watch TV, you''ll know, you missed a century-long auction."


    Qiao Xuan was pulled away by Sheng Qian and instinctively wanted to break away. Sheng Qian then said to her, "I''m just drinking a cup of wine with you, I promise I will return you unharmed to Third Brother very quickly."


    Sheng Liang frowned, he extended his hand out to pull Qiao Xuan back, but was stopped by Qi Chu: "Ignore them for now, I have something to tell you."


    Qiao Xuan was pulled to the side by Sheng Qian, but his gaze was still on Sheng Liang. He could not remember anything, what if Qi Chu discovered him?


    Although Qi Chu was his good friend, he was, after all, Qi Luo''s older brother. What Qiao Xuan was most worried about was that Qi Chu would tell Sheng Liang about Qi Luo.


    "Am I not charming enough to worry absent-mindedly about another man in front of me?" Sheng Qian passed a cup of fruit juice to Qiao Xuan and pretended to be injured as he said that.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang and Qi Chu were chatting really well, Qiao Xuan retracted his gaze and drank a mouthful of fruit juice. "I thought that after the matter of you getting into the car accident last time, you would already be on the same side as Sheng Liang, if not you would not have persuaded your mother to transfer the shares to Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Qian looked at her for a while, then lowered his eyelids. He smiled and said, "That''s because I discovered that it was basically his trap. From the very beginning, all the so-called evidence that could topple Big Brother was all fabricated by him. Because of this piece of evidence, first second brother died, then he obtained a share of the shares, and then something happened to me, and he also acquired my share, so he naturally became Golden Age''s second largest shareholder. This was clearly what he had planned for a long time. "


    Qiao Xuan was so shocked by Sheng Qian''s words that he couldn''t react for a long time. After a long while, he said: "Impossible, the evidence is not fake and it really exists because it was in my hands for a very long time." She just didn''t know what it was.


    Sheng Qian scoffed, "Then have you seen what''s inside? Definitely not, you just heard him say that it''s evidence. Have you thought about it, if there''s evidence, would Sheng Hua still be able to show off in front of him?"

 C97

    That was because he wanted to protect someone.


    But, Qiao Xuan could not tell Sheng Qian about this, it was Sheng Liang''s secret.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not say anything, Sheng Qian thought that she had been moved, and said: "Furthermore, I suspect that he had faked his loss of memories."


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, and quickly raised his head to look at Sheng Qian. "How is that possible?"


    He had been so badly hurt and had been given an overdose of insulin, so how could it be false when he was found out?


    As if he had seen through Qiao Xuan''s thoughts, Sheng Qian looked in the direction of Sheng Liang and said indifferently: "I will prove to you that my suspicions did not come from nowhere."


    Qiao Xuan followed his line of sight and looked over, only to see that Qi Chu was talking to Sheng Liang, but Sheng Liang had been lowering his head and did not say a word, so he could not really see the expression on his face.


    Although there were a few times where she felt that Sheng Liang was the same as before, if it was him in the past, even if he was being perfunctory, he wouldn''t speak to her like this, and would not spare any effort to spoil her.


    It must be Sheng Qian making a mistake, he probably heard someone instigate him again and wanted to take back the share from Sheng Liang, which was why he was harmed like this.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang had returned, Sheng Qian got up and left. He did not even greet him.


    When Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at his back, he was already in front of her, pulling her towards the exit.


    "What happened, what did Qi Chu say to you?" Sensing that Sheng Liang''s mood was not right, Qiao Xuan asked nervously.


    Sheng Liang did not reply, he only held her hand and did not let go until they were in the elevator.


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers tightened and then pulled back from his palm. He forced out a smile and said.


    In fact, she was a little confused by Qi Chu. At the beginning, she had told her to get together with Sheng Liang, but later on, she repeatedly mentioned Qi Luo in front of Sheng Liang, and now, she even asked them to separate.


    Could it be that the last time Sheng Liang said he saw Qi Luo was real, so Qi Chu regretted it?


    "Of course not!" Sheng Liang immediately grabbed her hand, "I don''t know the person he is talking about, I only know you."


    Qi Chu was indeed talking about Qi Luo. Although there were some things that could not be hidden, Qiao Xuan still hoped that Sheng Liang would never remember them.


    Seeing his nervous expression, Qiao Xuan held his hand and said: "I know, in the future, let''s not bring this up again."


    Sheng Liang nodded his head and then lowered his brows as he looked at the brooch on her clothes. "Liu Fan said that they would be having a show in Milan next week and wanted to invite you to join them."


    "Me?" Qiao Xuan was a little surprised. Tangerine International was a luxury brand, and would often have some activities and shows, but she was neither a model nor a celebrity, so why would Liu Fan invite her?


    "I''m not asking you to show off, I just wanted you to wear their products. She said that your temperament matched the location of their new product this season," Sheng Liang said as he caressed her hair, "I think you should go and take a look. Maybe in the future, we''ll still need to work together with Sweet Orange."


    "What about you?" What he said was true, but he was still not very familiar with the business of the company. Qiao Xuan was afraid that she would not be able to handle it all by herself, after all, there were still so many pairs of eyes staring at him.


    Sheng Liang held her hand and said: "Don''t worry about me. I still have Luo Jie and Qiao Nan by my side."


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head.


    Sheng Liang had only lost his memories, his IQ had not declined at all. With his abilities, it was more than enough to deal with the company, even if there was anything he did not know, Luo Jie would.


    When they returned home, they had just entered and Qiao Nan was standing in front of him. Qiao Nan said smugly: "How about it, I''m not wrong, the Song Dynasty''s Ru Jing is worth 1.2 hundred million, if not for me discovering it, it would still be a dog bowl right now, right?"


    The auction was a live broadcast, and the Internet was so developed now, those media all had their own websites, so they must have immediately uploaded them to the Internet. It wasn''t strange for Qiao Nan to know the details.


    "I have wronged you for making you an assistant in the company. You should go to archaeology, or become an appraisal expert. You can certainly get both fame and fortune." Qiao Xuan glanced at him sideways, walked to the sofa and sat down, then took out his phone to read the news.


    Of course, Qiao Nan could hear her ridicule, and said unhappily: "Who would talk about their own little brother like that, right, brother-in-law?"


    He had been disregarded by Sheng Liang due to this name before, but it was different now. Sheng Liang had lost her memories and could no longer remember those things. Furthermore, she was so good to Qiao Xuan.


    You have a good eye. This time, you have contributed a lot to the donation. Businessmen can''t afford to be early on. The purpose of being a charity is still mostly a marketing method. It''s worth it to earn a good reputation." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Nan and asked, "Tell me, what reward do you want?


    Qiao Nan was extremely excited in his heart. It was indeed much more practical to curry favor with his future brother-in-law than his older sister.


    "Anything?" Qiao Nan looked at Sheng Liang, excited to the point that his heart was about to jump out.


    Sheng Liang nodded.


    "I heard that the Rockets are coming to Sang City in a few days. I want to say hi to them, it would be perfect if I could get their autograph."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Nan''s expression, which was full of confusion. He said in an unguarded manner, "Do you think you can easily meet him?


    The hotel they are staying at should be owned by Qi Chu. Aren''t we good friends?


    However, Qi Chu still did not know about Sheng Liang''s amnesia. The closer they got to him, the greater the chance of him being discovered.


    But just as she was about to refute, Qiao Nan said: "Sis, don''t always look down on others. The more Brother-in-law purposely hides from familiar people, the more suspicious he will be.


    Even Qiao Nan could understand what she was thinking, was it really that easy for her to be seen through?


    After taking a bath and changing clothes, just as Qiao Xuan was about to go to bed, she heard a knock on the door. She walked over, opened the door and saw Sheng Liang standing outside.


    Sheng Liang reached out and hugged her, then said with a low voice: "I''m very afraid, if I had done something to let you down, would you forgive me?"


    "Why are you suddenly asking this?" Qiao Xuan''s heart also started to feel a little nervous. Did he remember something?


    "Today, Qi Chu told me about his sister. He said that I loved his sister a lot before, but I really don''t remember anymore. "Two feet on one boat?"


    Looking at the unease and caution in his eyes, Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to answer. It was true that he loved Qi Luo, but she and him had never started a relationship.

 C98

    "You didn''t let me down, and you don''t have a single horse. The person you like, has always been Qi Luo." Qiao Xuan pulled out from his embrace, lowered her head, and did not look at him, "If she comes back now, I will not stop you from finding her."


    She would think that she had just had a dream. When she woke up from that dream, she would return to her own position.


    Without hearing Sheng Liang''s response, Qiao Xuan understood how important Qi Luo was in his heart, and that they had only been together for less than a month.


    She kept her head down as she turned around and walked into the room. "I''m going to sleep. We''ll talk about other things tomorrow."


    But just as she turned around, Sheng Liang suddenly hugged her from behind. "Sorry, I shouldn''t have asked. I promise, I won''t ask again in the future."


    Qiao Xuan threw herself into his embrace once more, her tears wetting his shirt.


    If she gave up on him, she really wouldn''t be able to remain so indifferent.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so she did not pick it up.


    After eating, they went to the company with Sheng Liang. As they walked through the hall, the female employees all looked at Qiao Xuan with jealousy and hate.


    As expected, the power of the media was very strong. They should have seen the scene of Sheng Liang throwing a huge amount of money to buy her a brooch during the auction, right?


    Qiao Xuan was a little afraid that Qiao Nan would say something arrogant again, but luckily he knew his limits. In the company, he was merely Sheng Liang''s assistant.


    Just as Qiao Xuan walked to the entrance of the office, her assistant walked over with a face full of gossip. As she followed her in, he glanced at her chest: "Boss Qiao, where''s that brooch from last night? Why don''t you wear it?


    Seeing her excited expression, Qiao Xuan said indifferently: "That was all coaxed up by those people, it''s actually not that much."


    "The starting bid is also 10 million. Director Qiao, Young Master Liang is really too nice to you." the assistant said enviously.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at Sheng Liang''s direction. He was seriously looking at the documents in his hands, and even with his head lowered, he didn''t seem to have lost his memory at all.


    The current him, was very good to her, so good that even Qiao Xuan himself did not dare to believe him.


    But because of this, she often worried about the gains and losses. She was very afraid that one day, he would suddenly return to his old ways and refuse to see her for a thousand miles.


    "Do you know a private detective?" Qiao Xuan turned and asked the assistant.


    The assistant was stunned for a moment, then whispered back: "Director Qiao, why are you looking for a private detective?"


    "I want someone." Qiao Xuan lowered his eyes, "If you know him, help me contact him."


    She wanted to find Qi Luo first and find the reason why she suddenly left that year. If, that reason was something that Sheng Liang could not bear, she would at least be able to prepare ahead of time.


    After the assistant left, Qiao Xuan''s phone rang. She looked at the number, it seemed to be the same phone as the morning.


    She hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it: "Hello, I''m Qiao Xuan. Who are you?"


    "Hello, Boss Qiao. I''m the secretary to the chairman of Sweet ''n'' Sour International. Our chairman wants me to talk to you for a bit, but we must meet. Does Qiao always have time?" a man''s voice said from the other side.


    Thinking about Sheng Liang saying that Liu Fan had invited her to join in the fashion show, Qiao Xuan did not reject him. "Okay, then we''ll go to the coffee shop below our company, but I only have twenty minutes."


    "That''s enough, then I''ll see you later. Thank you, Director Qiao." The man said.


    After Qiao Xuan hung up the phone, he habitually went to look for Sheng Liang, but Sheng Liang was no longer in his office.


    He took some time to go downstairs to the coffee shop, but there was almost no one around at this time, thus when Qiao Xuan went in, he saw the man sitting by the window. When he saw her enter, that man immediately waved at her and stood up politely.


    Qiao Xuan walked over, and sized up the man dressed in the black windbreaker, whose eyes were bright and clear, and said softly: You are not Chairman Liu''s secretary, who are you?


    The man smiled with praise in his eyes: "Director Qiao has good eyesight. I am indeed not Chairman Liu''s secretary. The reason I borrowed my identity was because I was afraid that Director Qiao would not see me. This is my name card, Xiao Shen."


    Qiao Xuan took it, and when he saw the words, he looked at him in shock: "You''re from a headhunter''s company?"


    "Yes," Xiao Shen made a gesture of invitation. "Director Qiao, let''s sit down and talk."


    Qiao Xuan smiled politely and placed the name card on the table, "I''m sorry, I don''t have any plans to job hopping. Mr. Xiao should look for someone else."


    Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Shen calmly said, "Director Qiao, since you''re already here, please give me a chance to finish what I have to say. I won''t hold you up for too long. Just ten minutes."


    This coffee shop was downstairs to the company and its employees would often come here to buy coffee. If they saw her with the people from the search company, Qiao Xuan would not be able to explain himself.


    However, this person was actually pretending to be someone from Sweet Orange International. It could be seen that she had watched the auction last night. It seemed that she really had too much of a limelight last night.


    She was curious about the company that was trying to poach her, so she sat down again and said softly, "I can only give you five minutes."


    He looked across at the building. "Does Joe know what company it is?"


    Qiao Xuan followed his line of sight, and was startled for a moment. Previously, Sheng Liang had also been watching the place, but later on, Sheng Qian even told her that the company was Sheng Liang''s, but she did not hear Sheng Qian mention it again.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I don''t know."


    "It''s normal for Director Qiao not to know. Although you guys are very close, that company''s nature is different from yours. They don''t have a competitive relationship." Xiao Shen took out a piece of information from his bag and handed it over to Qiao Xuan, "This company is called Fei Leng Cui, they are in the media and all the staff are subscribing for shares. The boss is very mysterious, I do not know his name, but their registered capital is 1.4 billion."


    This number caused even Qiao Xuan to be shocked. She received the information and looked at it, then asked: "Who are these people?"


    Xiao Shen paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Director Qiao is truly a person who doesn''t know anything about the outside world. Xiao Shen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled," Director Qiao is really a person who doesn''t know anything about the outside world.


    All these years, the media had also exposed the news of the entertainment circle recklessly buying companies and manipulating the stock market. She did not want to be involved in this muddy water.


    Moreover, after she was reborn, she only wanted to work with Sheng Liang to bring Sheng Hua down, so that she could protect her own family from the harm in her previous life. As for everything else, it was not part of her plan yet.

 C99

    "I''m sorry, I''m not interested in any of this." Qiao Xuan pushed the information back to Xiao Shen.


    "Director Qiao, with your capabilities, it''s a pity to only be a CFO. The position that Fei Lengcui gave you is that of CEO." Xiao Shen looked at Qiao Xuan, his every word filled with enticement, "Moreover, I still have ten percent of the shares."


    Although Qiao Xuan was a calm person to fame and fortune, even she was unable to reject such generous conditions. She smiled and said: "You really think too highly of me, with such conditions, even if you poach our company''s Vice President, it''s enough. But, I have an absolute reason not to, I''m sorry."


    Xiao Shen looked at Qiao Xuan, and was not anxious at all: "Your reason should be the third young master of Sheng Family, right? Indeed, to you, who had just received a gift worth sixty million, this is undoubtedly a shortcut to success, but you must understand that the risk of marrying into a Wealthy Class is much higher than the risk of your own efforts to achieve. Of course, I don''t mean to ridicule you by saying this. I am merely analyzing it objectively for you. I hope that you can make a rational judgement. "


    The reason why she wasn''t willing to leave was because of Sheng Liang, but she didn''t plan to use this shortcut. From the moment she graduated from the American Business School, every step she took, depended on her own efforts.


    But she did not contradict Xiao Shen. With a hunter, she did not need to explain too much.


    As he was preparing to go up, he met Sheng Hua. However, Qiao Xuan was unable to dodge in time and blocked his path.


    She lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "This is the company, so don''t make it too ugly."


    Sheng Hua indicated for the secretary to go first, then looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "What''s there to be embarrassed about? "Qiao Qiao, I have never been able to understand why. Back then, wasn''t it because you were sick that I didn''t accompany you? How can you be so heartless and directly fall in love with Third Bro?"


    Of course, he wouldn''t understand. If she hadn''t been reborn, she would already be married to him. According to the time he had pushed her to the ground and caused her to miscarry.


    With that experience, how could she still maintain a relationship with him after her rebirth?!


    Right now, she only hated herself for not having the ability to avenge her past life and her loved ones. She also wanted to obediently walk around in circles with him.


    "Didn''t I already say it before? Before that day, we were already together. It''s just that you didn''t know." Seeing that his face was dark, Qiao Xuan felt the pleasure of revenge.


    Originally, he thought that Sheng Hua would be angered to the point of directly leaving, but he never thought that after his expression changed a few times, he actually regained his composure, used his hand to push his glasses up, and whispered into Qiao Xuan''s ears: "Don''t think that I really couldn''t kill him, it was just luck that he was lucky last time, and your little brother, you better watch him well, don''t let me get the chance to kill him."


    Qiao Xuan felt a chill on his back. She had just wanted to say something, but Sheng Hua had already walked past her and was smiling complacently.


    Although Qiao Xuan had always known that the mastermind behind the scenes was none other than himself, Qiao Xuan was still shocked that he had directly said it out loud.


    From the very beginning, how could she not see that he was such a cruel and merciless person?


    Qiao Xuan stood rooted to the spot, and felt that his strength was insufficient. All the arrogance from the past, in the eyes of these higher ups, was actually just a joke.


    "Miss Qiao, are you alright?" Luo Jie walked over, saw Qiao Xuan in a daze, and said to her, "Young Master Liang is looking for you, let''s go."


    After following Luo Jie up, Qiao Xuan was still a little dazed. When he looked up and saw Sheng Liang, he didn''t even know how he came up.


    "What''s wrong? Why does your face look so bad?" Sheng Liang walked over and placed both hands on her shoulders.


    If it was the past, she could still request him to protect Qiao Nan, but now, even he had become like this.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head and said: "I''m fine, Luo Jie said you were looking for me, what''s wrong?"


    "There''s a place I don''t understand about work." Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan to the table and showed her a report.


    It was one of his previous projects, but due to the lack of funds, it stopped there later on, mainly because Sheng Tianhao was not optimistic about it.


    "Based on the results of this market research, this project should be feasible. I don''t know why it has been put on hold." Sheng Liang said with regret.


    Qiao Xuan knew that if this project was restarted, a portion of the power would be accumulated in Sheng Liang''s hands, which would definitely benefit them when they deal with Sheng Hua in the future.


    "I also think that this project is pretty good. In a while, I will call some directors and hope to get their support. At tomorrow''s board meeting, if you mention it again, there will be a higher probability of success." As long as he garnered sufficient attention, Sheng Tianhao could not be willful.


    Sheng Liang nodded: "You''re right, then I''ll have to trouble you."


    Qiao Xuan smiled and said: "Is there really a need to be so courteous between us."


    She was willing to do anything for him.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang''s expression was still serious, Qiao Xuan changed the topic and said: "Just now, there was a person from the headhunter company who wanted to poach me, and said that they invited me to be their CEO. Tell me, do you want me to go?"


    She was only joking to ease the atmosphere, but she didn''t expect Sheng Liang to become serious. After thinking for a while, she said: "You can think about it, in Golden Age, you probably don''t have any room for growth."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned, she looked at him and asked: "You don''t want me to stay in Golden Age?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head and said: "I just do not wish for it, because I have delayed you.


    He was a rational person. Regardless of whether it was before or now, regardless of whether he had feelings or not, what he said was reasonable.


    But Qiao Xuan could not leave, at least not now.


    She couldn''t just focus on herself and let him sink into the abyss of misery.


    Qiao Xuan took away the report, and called the directors one by one. She even went to their homes to introduce the advantages of this project.


    When Sheng Liang walked into her office, he saw that she was taking off her high heels with a pained expression on her face. He immediately walked over, picked her up and placed her on the sofa.


    "Where did you go? I didn''t see you all afternoon." Seeing that her feet were covered in blisters, Sheng Liang frowned, "What happened? Don''t move, wait for me."


    "Sheng Liang ¡ª ¡ª" Qiao Xuan wanted to stop him, but he had already left.


    Qiao Xuan rubbed his sore ankle, and in a short while, Sheng Liang returned with a basin of water.


    After placing the pot on the ground, Sheng Liang held Qiao Xuan''s feet and slowly immersed them into the water. He raised his head and carefully asked: "Is it hot?"

 C100

    The water was not scalding hot, but the blisters on Qiao Xuan''s feet were soaked in hot water, causing her to almost cry in pain.


    Seeing her pale face, Sheng Liang said with pain in his heart: "Endure it, it won''t hurt anymore after a while."


    Qiao Xuan sat on the sofa while Sheng Liang half-knelt on the ground, carefully pressing her feet and massaging her.


    Who knew how many eyes were watching them from outside, but Sheng Liang didn''t have any qualms about it, nor did he care about his identity.


    After soaking in the water for a while, Qiao Xuan felt that it was no longer as painful, and the sour feeling from just now had calmed down a lot. She said to Sheng Liang: "Alright, I''m fine now."


    Sheng Liang took a towel and was about to help her wipe her feet, but Qiao Xuan quickly took it away from her, avoiding her hand: "Don''t move, leave it to me."


    Other than her parents, there had never been anyone else who treated her like this, not to mention that this person was even Sheng Liang.


    After drying her feet, Sheng Liang told her to hang out for a while, then said that he was going to get some medicine for her to wipe. Qiao Xuan immediately pulled him back: "No need, just sleep for a bit, you''ll be fine tomorrow."


    Sheng Liang did not go out and sat beside her. He hugged her and said softly: "I''m sorry, I know that you went to look for those board members. If I did not say that, you would not have worked so hard."


    Hearing the self-blame in his tone, Qiao Xuan turned and grabbed his hand, "What are you talking about? I can do something for you.


    In the past, everything had been arranged by him, everything was his concern. She didn''t care about anything, but now that she finally had a chance to do something for him, she was very happy.


    Sheng Liang hugged her and kissed her cheeks, still looking very apologetic.


    Qiao Xuan comforted him: "At least I did what I said worth it. They all promised to support you at the board of directors tomorrow."


    However, Sheng Liang still did not move, and continued to hug her without letting go. After a while, he looked at his watch and said: "It''s time to get off work, let''s go home."


    Before Qiao Xuan could react, Sheng Liang had already carried her and walked out.


    "I can walk." Qiao Xuan struggled.


    "You can''t wear those shoes anymore. Do you want to go back barefoot?" When Sheng Liang said this, his face had a hint of a smile.


    However, just like that, he carried her out, and everyone was watching. Qiao Xuan''s face kept getting hot, so she simply buried her face in his arms.


    It was almost as if a century had passed before Qiao Xuan finally felt Sheng Liang had put her in the carriage, and when he saw her sitting on the other side, he noticed the unnatural expression of Luo Jie in front of him, and his face instantly flushed even more red.


    "Should we wait for Qiao Nan?" Luo Jie obviously wanted to ask something.


    "Didn''t you already send him back?" Without holding back the slightest bit of face, Sheng Liang immediately pierced Luo Jie.


    Luo Jie embarrassedly coughed, then asked: "Then, are we going home now?"


    "No, to the Lantian Hotel." When Sheng Liang told Luo Jie this, he was actually looking at him.


    Luo Jie immediately looked like he understood and quickly drove the car away.


    But Qiao Xuan started to get nervous, and whispered: "Why are you going to the hotel?"


    Sheng Liang did not reply, and only gave her a meaningful glance, then smiled lightly.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan could probably guess it, but she was a woman after all, so she couldn''t say it out loud.


    Luo Jie quickly arrived at the entrance of the Orchid Sky Hotel, turned his head and said, "Young Master Liang, we are here. Have you booked a room?"


    Sheng Liang nodded, then pushed open the car door and carried Qiao Xuan out of the car, and then brought her all the way into the hotel.


    The waiter opened the door for them, which Sheng Liang thanked him for before he carried Qiao Xuan in.


    Hearing the door shut, Qiao Xuan dared to reveal his face, and struggled off Sheng Liang''s body. He wore a pair of hotel slippers, walked over and sat on the sofa, but did not dare look up: "You brought me here, what is it?"


    Sheng Liang took two goblets from the wine rack, then took out the red wine from the ice bucket on the table, poured them into a wine wake machine, and gently shook them: "Nothing, I just want to be alone with you for a while. My family is too numerous, it''s inconvenient."


    When he said the last three words, Qiao Xuan heard an ambiguous tone, and his body unconsciously shrunk back into the sofa.


    But Sheng Liang did not take any further steps, he just sat beside her, poured her a cup of wine and said: "Thank you for today''s matter."


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to say that there was no need to talk about gratitude, she should be the one doing all this. However, just as she took a sip of her wine, she saw Sheng Liang already drinking with his head raised, and looking as if he had something on his mind: "What''s wrong with you?"


    Sheng Liang did not reply, he was only drinking, and could not watch any longer, he immediately pulled him back, and took the wine cup from his hands: "Stop drinking, if you have anything to say, tell me."


    Sheng Liang turned his head and suddenly hugged her. His chin was pressed against her forehead as he softly said, "I''m sorry."


    ''s hand that had just put down the wine cup was still frozen in midair, his sudden action and voice made her freeze. He felt that he was very useless and wanted her to run around for him, so Qiao Xuan slowly retracted his hand and put his arm around his waist: "Don''t say that you''re sorry, Sheng Liang, anything that I do for you, was done on your own accord."


    Sheng Liang didn''t say anything, he only hugged her even tighter.


    It was a long time before he let go of her, but he was still speechless.


    Qiao Xuan laughed, raised his wine cup and said: "Such a good wine, don''t waste it, but my alcohol capacity is not good, if I get drunk, remember to bring me home."


    Sheng Liang looked at her with a complicated expression.


    Qiao Xuan''s tolerance for alcohol was really low. She had only drank two cups before she started to faint, and Sheng Liang''s face was swaying wildly in front of her. She held onto the bottle of wine, and spoke unhappily, "Many people say that Bordeaux for 82 years is the best, but that''s not actually the case. 72 years is the best time to taste it, right?"


    Seeing her giggling, some emotions flashed past Sheng Liang''s eyes. He reached out to grab the bottle of wine, but Qiao Xuan just refused to let go.


    "Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang, don''t snatch it away from me," Qiao Xuan hugged the bottle of wine, his arms constantly tightening, and didn''t raise his head. His voice seemed to be choked with sobs, "I really do like you, but I know that you are currently treating me well, and the only reason you don''t remember Qi Luo for now is because of you. But one day, you will remember. When that time comes, you will never look at me again, so ¡­ So, before you even think about it, I want to double up with you, I hope... You... Can you give me even a tiny bit of space in your heart?


    From beginning to end, Sheng Liang had only stared at her in that instant, as he unconsciously clenched his fingers by his side.


    She slowly raised her head, there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. She looked at Sheng Liang, as if waiting for his answer.


    The instant she lifted her head, Sheng Liang had already leaned over. His two hands held onto her face and kissed her cold lips.

 C101

    The red wine filled their mouths with sweetness. Qiao Xuan''s mind was blank, but she knew that the one who was kissing her was Sheng Liang, the man she deeply loved.


    She gradually switched from passivity to initiative. Her hands wrapped around his neck as she replied to him in a childish yet passionate manner.


    The bottle rolled onto the sofa, and the rest of the wine spilled out, drops of it on the white carpet, like red plums blooming in the snow, so enchanting.


    After that, she really became drunk. She didn''t even remember what happened after, but when she woke up, she saw Sheng Liang sleeping by her side. His clothes were neat and tidy, and she knew that he shouldn''t have passed through the lightning pool last night.


    She had just moved when Sheng Liang woke up. He sat up and asked her: "Does your head hurt?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. She had seen the cup of water on the table just now, Sheng Liang must have given her some honey.


    "What do you want to eat? I''ll get them to bring it up." Sheng Liang asked.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him for a long while before saying, "Can I go out and eat? I want to drink wonton now."


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment, and then, he extended his hand to scratch her nose: "I''ll grant your wish."


    Sheng Liang called the front desk, told them to send a pair of shoes up, told them how to make Qiao Xuan''s shoes, and then added: "If you want flat shoes, their style doesn''t matter.


    Qiao Xuan listened from behind and felt his heart warm.


    Very soon, a servant brought the shoes up. Qiao Xuan put them on and frowned as he looked at Sheng Liang: "Although the style doesn''t matter, but it isn''t ¡­ It''s a little too ugly? "


    "Just looking at your face is enough. No one will notice your shoes." Sheng Liang joked as he reached out his hand to look at her.


    Qiao Xuan placed her hand on his palm. In that moment, she felt that nothing was important anymore, as long as he was still by her side.


    The wonton eating stall that Qiao Xuan was talking about would often come to this place when she was at school in the old city''s Walking Street. At that time, other people would meet in pairs and only she would be by herself.


    Qiao Xuan had never envied them, she knew clearly in her heart that only emotions could not be forced, she hoped that her other half was someone worth waiting for.


    In the past, she had thought that Sheng Hua was the person she had been waiting for, and it was only after their marriage that she could see his true face, but it was already too late.


    Fortunately, she had met Sheng Liang from the very beginning in this life, so she sometimes wondered if this was heaven''s compensation to her.


    When two people who came out of CBD appeared in this kind of place, they didn''t seem to fit in with the surroundings, but Qiao Xuan didn''t care at all, especially after seeing that Sheng Liang also settled down, she seemed very happy.


    The mutual knowledge of life, nothing other than two people can share prosperity, but also can together.


    The boss placed two bowls of wontons in front of them. Both of them were shocked, and Qiao Xuan said in a low voice: "How come I don''t remember that his bowl is so big, what do I do? I definitely cannot finish it all, the boss hates wasting things the most, and will definitely scold me later on."


    "It''s fine, there''s still me." Sheng Liang indicated for her to eat.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him. He did not seem to have a lot of food, so he rarely ate.


    After eating half of it, Qiao Xuan was really unable to continue eating. Sheng Liang took her bowl and said: "If you can''t finish, then don''t force yourself. I said I would help you finish it."


    However, he himself was clearly a bit reluctant, but he still maintained his elegant posture.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and saw that the owner was busy, she took out money from her bag and placed it on the table, then pulled Sheng Liang and whispered: "Let''s go."


    Not far from where they were running, they heard the boss shouting at them from behind. He was speaking in a dialect, so they couldn''t hear him clearly. They knew it wasn''t good news anyway.


    After running for a long distance, Qiao Xuan finally let go of her hand. She turned her head back to look at what had just happened, and bent down while smiling.


    Although the matter itself wasn''t too funny, running over here with Sheng Liang hand in hand just now. That kind of feeling was as if she had returned to the youthful era of campus, while Sheng Liang was the senior that had long been in her heart at that age.


    "Qiao Xuan!" Sheng Liang suddenly called out.


    When Qiao Xuan raised his head to look at her, Sheng Liang was already holding her in his arms.


    They stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by an ancient looking building on both sides. On the street, there were many people coming and going, and they looked at each other as if time had frozen.


    If possible, Qiao Xuan also wished that time could stay at this point forever.


    His phone suddenly rang, bringing Qiao Xuan''s train of thoughts back to reality. Seeing that there was someone looking at them, her face immediately flushed red, she quickly took a step back and took out her phone. Seeing that it was the assistant, she softly said: "We''ll talk about it when we get back to the company."


    Sheng Liang saw that she kept her phone properly, but didn''t turn her head back. He directly pulled her back and said: "Let''s go, it''s the peak of work now. We probably won''t be able to drive out if we stop here.


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "Sure."


    "Is your foot still painful? Let me carry you away." Sheng Liang suddenly thought of something.


    Seeing that he was really squatting in front of her, Qiao Xuan immediately pulled him up: "It''s been fine for a long time, and although this pair of shoes is ugly, it''s very comfortable."


    Sheng Liang did not persist, and only held Qiao Xuan''s hand tighter.


    Sheng Liang was probably afraid that her feet would hurt if she walked too fast, but she hoped to enjoy an extra moment with him, so they walked for a long time on this path. When they arrived at the entrance of the company, Luo Jie was anxiously waiting for them.


    "Young Master Liang, Miss Qiao, the board of directors is about to begin. Do you want to change clothes? " Seeing that they were still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, Luo Jie regretted not being able to prepare them in the morning, but he was also afraid that it would affect their world.


    "We''ll talk about it after the meeting," Sheng Liang turned to look at Qiao Xuan, "Don''t participate in it anymore, go back to your office and rest."


    Qiao Xuan acknowledged, this was good too. She had just visited those few board members yesterday, so meeting them today would inevitably be awkward.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang had directly gone to the conference room, Qiao Xuan also walked towards her office. The assistant came over from afar, looked at the shoes on her feet and asked: "Director Qiao, did Young Master Liang really like this style?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that she was just teasing him, so he did not pay attention to her. He just asked as he walked in: "Call me early in the morning, why are you so anxious?"


    Oh, oh, oh, "the assistant hurriedly said," Director Qiao, didn''t you ask me to find someone to investigate that person called Qi Luo? There''s news, the private investigator said that yesterday afternoon, Qi Luo was taken away by someone and got on a black Buick. Then, he was brought to the Lantian Hotel.


    Qiao Xuan looked straight at the assistant: "Blue Sky Hotel? "Are you sure?"

 C102

    The assistant didn''t know why she had such a frightened expression on her face. Her heart was pounding as she stammered, "It should be, I didn''t hear wrong."


    Qiao Xuan frowned. The Orchid Sky Hotel, 4208. Wasn''t that the room next to theirs last night?


    Last night, Sheng Liang and Qi Luo were only separated by a single wall.


    But what made her pay more attention was, who was it that brought Qi Luo there, and for what reason, was it because of Sheng Liang?


    Qiao Xuan was silent for a moment, then said to his assistant: "I have something to take care of, so I''ll be going out for a while. If Sheng Liang asks, just say that I have something that I left at the hotel, and it''ll be back for you."


    The assistant understood that she was going to look for Qi Luo, so he said: "How about I go with you and call Luo Jie over?"


    Qiao Xuan promptly shook his hand: "Don''t let anyone else know about this, this is ¡­ My private affairs. "


    The assistant nodded her head, "I understand, be careful then."


    Qiao Xuan knew to be careful, but they had all checked out, and did not encounter any mishaps. Maybe she was just overthinking it, with Qi Luo missing for such a long time, she should have gotten new friends, she might just coincidentally live there with her friends.


    Coincidentally, Sheng Liang''s car keys were still in her bag, so she would be able to drive his car back later on.


    After returning to the Blue Sky Hotel, Qiao Xuan first went to the front desk to ask around, to see if there was a girl called Qi Luo staying there.


    The front desk immediately replied: "That''s right, she lives in 4208, but she just checked out. When you came in, you should have seen her."


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran towards the door. As expected, she saw a girl wearing a white trench coat walking towards the side, and immediately shouted: "Qi Luo!"


    The girl turned her head and glanced at her. Her long black hair draped across her shoulders, her face was fair and clean, and her eyes were black and white. She seemed to be brimming with the aura of youth.


    She had seen Qi Luo''s picture before. Although a few years had passed and she had become a little more mature than the picture, Gu Panpan''s appearance was still the same as before.


    But before Qi Luo could speak, Qiao Xuan saw a car stop by the side of the road. A few tall and sturdy men walked over, covered Qi Luo''s mouth and threw her into the car.


    "Who are you people? What do you want to do?!" Qiao Xuan immediately ran over, wanting to stop them from bringing Qi Luo away.


    Seeing this scene, she almost forgot that someone was going to kidnap Qi Luo. Qi Luo was the daughter of a mayor, and the younger sister of Master Qi.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan holding onto the car door tightly, someone asked another person, "What do we do?"


    Another person looked at Qiao Xuan and sneered, "You delivered yourself up, how can you not accept it? After we finish playing, we can sell it to the nightclub."


    "You guys!" How could these people be so arrogant? They dared to kidnap people in broad daylight!


    But before she could finish speaking, a person had covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief from behind. It should be chloroform on top, even though Qiao Xuan tried his best to hold his breath, he quickly lost consciousness.


    The man immediately threw her into the car and said with a smile, "Nice figure."


    When Qiao Xuan woke up, he found that her entire body was bound by a rope. She struggled a few times, but the struggle became tighter and tighter.


    "It''s useless. This is an abandoned warehouse far away from the residential district. No one will pass here."


    When Qiao Xuan heard this, she turned her head and saw Qi Luo tied up not far away from her. His face was calm, and she couldn''t help but ask: "Who are they, and why are they kidnapping you?"


    Qi Luo didn''t answer, but asked, "How do you know my name?"


    "I ¡­" Qiao Xuan pursed her lips. She didn''t know how to tell Qi Luo about her relationship with him, but after a long while, she finally said, "I''m Sheng Liang''s friend."


    "Friends?" Qi Luo obviously did not believe him, but she did not say anything, and only continued to stare in the direction of the door.


    Qiao Xuan thought that she had given up all hope and quickly said: "Don''t worry, Sheng Liang will definitely come to save us."


    When she came out, she had told the assistant that she was going to the hotel. If Sheng Liang couldn''t wait for her to return, he would definitely go to the hotel to check on the security guards, and then find out that both she and Qi Luo had been kidnapped.


    Qi Luo turned his head and looked at her: "Why didn''t you run just now, it''s not like the person they''re after is you."


    But what Qiao Xuan had thought of at that time was that Qi Luo was someone that Sheng Liang liked. If something were to happen to Qi Luo, when he recovered his memories in the future, he would definitely be hurt.


    However, Qiao Xuan didn''t say it out loud. Instead, he asked in a soft voice, "Back then, why did you leave Sheng Liang?"


    Didn''t they love each other very much? Didn''t she know that after she left, Sheng Liang would feel sad?


    There seemed to be a slight change in Qi Luo''s limpid eyes, but she quickly averted her gaze, and said indifferently: "That is my business."


    Qiao Xuan also knew that she had no right to ask about it. Moreover, she had her own selfish motives.


    "Then will you still be with Sheng Liang? He has been looking for you." Qiao Xuan looked at Qi Luo and asked very carefully.


    She wanted to hear Qi Luo say that he had given up on her, but she also hoped that Qi Luo would still love Sheng Liang.


    She loved Sheng Liang too much and wanted to be together with him for her entire life. However, she did not want to see Sheng Liang lose his soul to someone like Qi Luo, because she was Qiao Xuan, and she could never take Qi Luo''s place in her heart.


    Qi Luo''s gaze landed far away as she turned sideways. Qiao Xuan could not see her expression, but he felt that her body seemed to be trembling slightly.


    Therefore, Qiao Xuan thought that there must be some unspeakable reason why she left Sheng Liang.


    There was a wave of noise outside, and then, someone opened the lock on the door. A few people entered in a line, and stood at the entrance looking at Qiao Xuan and Qi Luo.


    "Why are there two of them, which one is Sheng Liang''s woman?" the man in the windbreaker with the handkerchief over his mouth asked.


    The person behind immediately pointed at Qi Luo and said: "It was that woman, it was an accident. She saw us capturing her, so we could only bring her back."


    The man in the middle sneered: "Let''s see if Sheng Liang can escape this time!"


    As expected, they were here for Sheng Liang. Qiao Xuan struggled to ask: "Who are you all, and what enmity do you have with Sheng Liang? If you want money, I can give it to you."


    The man was about to turn and leave when he heard Qiao Xuan''s words. He unconsciously turned his head and looked at her: "From your tone, you and Sheng Liang also had an affair. That''s great, now I''m even more confident. "All of you, strip these two girls and hang them on the suspension beams outside."

 C103

    "You dare!" Qiao Xuan was shocked and angry at the same time. How could these people be so lawless!


    However, no one paid attention to her. Five to six men walked towards them with a wretched smile, maybe because Qi Luo''s position was a little further away, so Qiao Xuan saw that those men had already walked in front of Qi Luo, and were ripping off her clothes.


    "Bastard, you all don''t want to live anymore. Don''t you know who I am? Let me go!" Qi Luo screamed hysterically, but his hands and feet were tied, unable to struggle free.


    Qiao Xuan was a little scared silly. Although she had experienced a similar situation before, to be able to witness such a tragic situation with her own eyes was still a little hard for her to accept.


    Looking at it, Qi Luo saw that such a beautiful girl was as beautiful as a flower in full bloom. She shouldn''t have let these people ruin her beauty.


    Moreover, she was someone Sheng Liang could never forget.


    Qiao Xuan bit her lips forcefully, seeing that those people were still pulling at her clothes, but perhaps it was because of the rope, and were unable to tear it off for a long time.


    However, being surrounded by a group of men like this, with a mouthful of obscenities, was enough to make a little girl collapse.


    Hearing Qi Luo''s hoarse shout and seeing the tears of humiliation on her face, Qiao Xuan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and shouted, "All of you stop, no one can touch her!"


    Hearing her shout, those people stopped what they were doing and unconsciously looked towards the man in the windbreaker by the door.


    The man looked at Qiao Xuan with amusement and laughed: "What, is it starting to become popular these days to save beauties? The key is that you can''t even save yourself. "


    Seeing that they had not made a move, Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the man coldly and said: "Before you captured her, didn''t you do any investigation? Sheng Liang has already broken up with her for many years, and I am Sheng Liang''s current girlfriend.


    Hearing her words, the few of them were stunned, the man in cloak stared at Qiao Xuan: "So you''re that woman who was originally engaged to Sheng Family Boss, and then got married to my brother-in-law?"


    These words were said roughly, only then did Qiao Xuan realize that the people outside had actually described her in such a way. She glared at the man and said: "Who I choose is my freedom."


    The man nodded: "That''s right, it''s your freedom. Then what you mean is, Sheng Liang no longer has anything to do with this woman?"


    "Of course, it doesn''t matter. The past tense has already passed between them." She wanted Qi Luo to understand that she had said those words out of the blue, and she wanted him to understand that she had only said them on purpose to save her.


    The man paused, as if he was weighing the pros. Qiao Xuan thought that he had agreed, but the man suddenly said to the other man: "Since she has nothing to do with Sheng Liang, then just play around, it''s enough to have one person be able to hold Sheng Liang back."


    This sudden turn of events gave Qiao Xuan a fright. Before she could regain her senses, those people had already started to take off Qi Luo''s clothes, their actions were very rough, causing Qi Luo to struggle with all her might, but being suppressed by these two men, she could do nothing but cry.


    Qiao Xuan''s mind was in a mess, she couldn''t think of anything. She didn''t think that her words would actually go against her wishes, causing these people to do something even more excessive things to Qi Luo.


    Sheng Liang doesn''t like me at all. Although I live in his house, we have never had a relationship. In Sheng Liang''s heart, the woman that he will never forget, is her! When Qiao Xuan shouted out these words, her eyes were filled with tears, tears that even she was unable to control.


    It was not only to save Qi Luo, but probably in her heart as well. She had always known that the person in Sheng Liang''s heart was never her, even now that he had lost his memories, depended on her, and pampered her. However, Qiao Xuan could still feel that there was still some restraint in his heart.


    In this world, the only person who could make him lose everything was Qi Luo.


    And she was nothing.


    So she absolutely could not let anything happen to Qi Luo. She knew that Qi Luo was Sheng Liang''s life.


    Everyone quietened down and looked at Qiao Xuan in unison. It was as if they were looking at a lunatic.


    At a time like this, she could actually just keep quiet and allow those men to assault Qi Luo. If that happened, Qi Luo and Sheng Liang would probably not be able to be together for the rest of their lives.


    But she couldn''t do it, she couldn''t imagine how much pain Sheng Liang would feel after he got hurt.


    That was not what she wanted to see.


    The cloaked man was obviously annoyed. He waved his hand to allow the other men to pass, then squatted down and said to Qiao Xuan: "Since you are so loyal, then I''ll grant your wish."


    He stood up and said to the men, "Take her to my room."


    "What do you want?" Qiao Xuan looked at the man, but he had already walked out.


    His subordinate pulled Qiao Xuan up from the ground and pushed her out: "What are you doing, our Boss Jin wants to spoil you!"


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment. Her heart was completely flustered, but she understood that Qi Luo should not be in danger for the time being.


    Qiao Xuan was pushed out of the warehouse by that Brother Jin''s subordinate and was brought to a room upstairs. Not long after he left, there was a two story house.


    "Boss, what about that woman, did she let you go?" someone asked.


    The man leaned against the window with both hands in his pockets and glanced at Qiao Xuan: "One former and one current, it seems like Sheng Liang''s life is pretty comfortable, I can''t let either of these two women go. Go and release the news, I don''t believe that Sheng Liang won''t come."


    "Understood, boss." Those people replied and went out, even deliberately closing the door behind them.


    Although they did not release him, they would not continue with what happened just now. Qiao Xuan relaxed and realised that he was covered in cold sweat.


    I''ve seen many women who, in order to save their love rivals, would not hesitate to put themselves in danger, but I''ve never seen one before. "The man smiled, lit up a cigarette, and blew out a complete smoke ring." My name is Jin Honglin.


    Qiao Xuan did not reply. She had nothing to talk about with a kidnapper.


    He walked in front of her and said, "It can''t be that I was scared by the scene just now, right? In fact, that''s just to scare you guys, although I''m not a good person, but I have my own principles, and I won''t allow my brothers to do anything to women."


    Qiao Xuan did not want to bother with him, but he could not help but ask: "What kind of enmity do you have with Sheng Liang? You used us to force him here, and want to do something to him?"


    "I don''t know how to answer that question, because it''s a long story. Are you interested?" Jin Feng Lin looked at Qiao Xuan without blinking, as if he was earnestly waiting for her answer.

 C104

    Qiao Xuan shook his head. "I''m not interested to know."


    Jin Fenglin was not the least bit annoyed. Instead, he smiled, "You''re really frank."


    He walked to the side and pressed the tip of his cigarette into the ashtray, then read the information on his phone in a shallow voice, "Qiao Xuan, MBA in Business Administration, current chief financial officer of Golden Age Tianan Group, fiancee of the third young master of Sheng Family."


    When Qiao Xuan heard his tone, it was filled with playfulness, and said unknowingly, "Don''t you think it''s too late for you to only investigate me now?"


    Jin Fenglin shook his head, "Those foolish subordinates of mine, I have done a good thing this time. To me, Miss Qiao is a great unexpected gain."


    Knowing that he was using her to deal with Sheng Liang, Qiao Xuan felt extremely lonely. However, she couldn''t say it, as that would only harm Qi Luo.


    Or perhaps she was the better one, at least Sheng Liang did not have to worry too much about it.


    Indeed, Jin Fenglin did not act impolitely towards her. Even when she remained silent, he did not force her to say anything.


    Then, he said to Qiao Xuan who was sitting opposite him, "I don''t know what Miss Qiao''s taste is like, so I had them buy a few more dishes. See what you like to eat."


    In this kind of situation, how could Qiao Xuan be in the mood to eat? She didn''t even look at it and said, "I''m not hungry."


    Jin Fenglin looked at her and suddenly said, "Someone like Miss Qiao should be accustomed to eating western cuisine. However, our place is too remote, without a proper western cuisine, Miss Qiao would feel wronged just by eating a few bites. It''s not worth starving to death."


    Although Qiao Xuan put on airs towards Golden Phoenix Qilin, she was actually very clear about the situation in her heart. These people were all desperate, if they were to be impatient, it was possible for them to make a move, so she had been very careful.


    She slowly picked up a box of rice with rice and vegetables inside. Sheng Liang liked eating vegetables, so she slowly started to like it.


    Seeing that she did not reject, Jin Fenglin also picked up a box lunch and opened it before passing the meat inside to Qiao Xuan, "You girls will always know how to lose weight. It''s not good for your health.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the meat that he had grabbed, and frowned, but held back and did not say anything, he nudged the side with his chopsticks.


    When Jin Feng Lin saw her actions, he smiled and said, "I just like a woman like Miss Qiao who has her own will."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say that she did not need him to like it, but since she was under a roof, she did not want to say that it was useless.


    Just as they were about to finish their meal, someone ran up and said while gasping for breath, "Lao... Boss, Sheng Liang is here! "


    Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat and he unconsciously tightened his fingers that were holding onto the chopsticks.


    Jin Fenglin, however, did not even raise his head as he continued to gobble down his meal, "So be it, so be it. Why are you panicking? It''s not like he has three heads and six arms."


    His men looked at him and swallowed. They tried to get themselves back to normal and asked, "Then what should we do? Digging traps and setting up traps? "


    "Crazy bastard, what trap are you playing? We have two of his women in our hands." Jin Fenglin swore as he continued eating, "Bring him to the warehouse first, I''ll be there in a while."


    Qiao Xuan was a little worried, but once he went to the warehouse, he would definitely meet Qi Luo. Even if he did not recognize Qi Luo now, Qi Luo would definitely tell him, and Jin Feng Lin''s people would definitely know about the relationship between them, so they would not let Qi Luo go.


    Qiao Xuan immediately stood up, before Jin Feng Lin could react, she had already ran to the door, but that person just happened to be blocking her, and blocked her in an instant.


    "Don''t stop her, let her go. Take one last look at Sheng Liang."


    Qiao Xuan suddenly turned around and saw Jin Fenglin wiping his mouth with a tissue, then taking out a gun from his waist and placing it on the table. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, "What exactly do you want?"


    "Didn''t you see that? I just want his life." Jin Fenglin spoke in a relaxed manner.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was deathly pale, but she didn''t know what she should do. She helplessly watched as the Golden Phoenix Qilin took back the spear, walked over and wrapped its arms around her shoulders and said, "If you perform well, I''ll leave an intact corpse for him."


    Qiao Xuan''s legs looked as if they were filled with lead, allowing Jin Feng Lin to carry her, his steps were so heavy that he could not even lift her up.


    When they returned to the warehouse, Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang standing at the doorway looking at Qi Luo.


    His back was to her, so she couldn''t see his face, only his straight back.


    Qi Luo also did not say anything, he only looked at Sheng Liang, and the expression in his eyes was unfathomable.


    "Sheng Liang." Qiao Xuan said softly. The nervousness in her heart practically exhausted all of her strength.


    Sheng Liang immediately turned his head and saw Qiao Xuan. He immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly in his embrace, regardless of who was there.


    Qiao Xuan''s mind was blank for a moment. She did not expect that at a time like this, Sheng Liang would actually choose her.


    "What a sincere and sincere expression," Jin Feng Lin laughed as he clapped his hands, "Sheng Liang, I have shown you my utmost kindness. In the final moment of your life, I will let the woman you like see you disappear from this world with my own eyes."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart tensed up, he immediately turned around and blocked in front of Sheng Liang, looked at Jin Feng Lin and said, "I won''t let you hurt him."


    Qiao Xuan even had the faith of certain death, and would definitely not let Jin Fenglin make a move against him.


    When she saw Golden Phoenix Qilin reach towards her waist, she knew that he wanted to take out a spear. Her heart trembled, but she did not retreat a single step.


    Jin Feng Lin sneered, and gave up his original movement. He walked over and extended his hand to pinch Qiao Xuan''s chin: "You woman, are you really not afraid of death?"


    But just as he was about to raise his hand, he was opened by Sheng Liang. Sheng Liang dragged Qiao Xuan and placed her behind him, "I don''t care who you are.


    His voice was not loud, but each of his words was cold and sharp, even Qiao Xuan could feel that he was about to erupt with fury.


    "You ¡­ Don''t know who I am? " Jin Feng Lin squinted at Sheng Liang, turned his head, and said with a sneer. "Third Young Master Sheng is really forgetful, did you forget how Sheng Yan died?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know why this person mentioned Sheng Yan, but she unconsciously looked at Sheng Liang in front of her. It was a pity that she could only see his back, but she couldn''t help but speak up for Sheng Liang: "Of course he doesn''t remember you, he lost his memories."


    "Memory loss?" Jin Fenglin gave an incredulous laugh, "Do you think this is a TV show? Besides, what does his amnesia or amnesia have to do with me? He killed my brother, that''s the truth. Today, I want to avenge my brother."

 C105

    Sheng Liang said coldly: "You should first ensure that you can leave this place alive."


    Furthermore, she could also hear the sound of bullets being loaded. Just as she wanted to rush to the front, Sheng Liang held tightly onto her wrist, preventing her from moving.


    saw that a group of people had surrounded them, each of them holding onto a steel tube type weapon. She unconsciously grabbed onto Sheng Liang''s clothes tightly.


    "I never do anything to women, but today is an exception. Who told them to be so blind as to want to be with you, but to be with you in your death, one of them is enough," Jin Feng Lin pointed his gun at Sheng Liang and said.


    "You let them all go. It''s a man''s affair." While Sheng Liang was speaking, he was still tightly grabbing onto Qiao Xuan''s hand, doing his best to obstruct her line of sight and prevent her from seeing the scene in front of her eyes.


    Jin Fenglin looked at him and waved his hand. One of his subordinates said, "Let that woman in the warehouse go, she''s useless now."


    Hearing Jin Feng Lin''s words, Qiao Xuan unconsciously turned to look at the entrance of the warehouse. Qi Luo was still inside, but she was safe now.


    Qiao Xuan felt very relaxed. Although staying meant she would probably die, she was still very pleased to die together with Sheng Liang.


    Furthermore, Sheng Liang''s previous performance also made her feel that he was truly thinking about her.


    Qi Luo was released, and when she passed in front of Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan, her expression was so calm, as if what happened just now had never happened.


    Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang did not remember him now, but this should be the first time they met since Qi Luo''s disappearance. If not for his amnesia, Qiao Xuan did not dare to imagine what would have happened today.


    Perhaps, she didn''t even have the chance to be chosen.


    The hand grabbing onto his clothes unconsciously tightened a little, it would be false to say that she wasn''t afraid. Although she had seen this kind of situation twice before when she was in Europe, at that time, she didn''t have such deep feelings for Sheng Liang, so she didn''t think too much about it.


    But now it was different. She had just felt a sense of happiness, she didn''t expect it to end so soon.


    Sensing her uneasiness, Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her with eyes full of guilt. He said softly: "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    This should be the most beautiful love story that Sheng Liang had ever said. Qiao Xuan''s heart instantly calmed down, and without any doubt, she knew that Sheng Liang loved her.


    "Alright, it''s time to send you on your way." Jin Feng Lin pressed the gun between Sheng Liang''s eyebrows and slowly pulled the trigger.


    "Killing is against the law, don''t you know!" Qiao Xuan understood that those words would have no effect on a person like Jin Feng Lin, but she still shouted out loud.


    Jin Fenglin smiled and said, "I''ve stewed in there for five years and I understand this more than you do, but he must die. Otherwise, how am I supposed to survive in the underworld in the future?"


    "I don''t know what happened between us before, but since it was something I did, I''ll admit it. You don''t need to do it, I''ll do it myself, but I have a condition: release her." Sheng Liang said in a deep voice.


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide, she immediately wanted to go up, but Sheng Liang did not let her move.


    Jin Feng Lin rolled his eyes, "You want to do it yourself? Then your death has nothing to do with me? "


    "That''s right, you don''t want to go back in either, right?" There was no fear in Sheng Liang''s eyes.


    Jin Fenglin kept his spear, turned around and looked at the person beside him, then looked at Qiao Xuan, who was behind Sheng Liang, and said as if he had made a huge decision, "Alright, I promise you."


    Sheng Liang turned around, looked at Qiao Xuan, and stuffed the car key into her hands, then said softly: "My car is outside, leave quickly, wait until we enter the city area, then we can call the police."


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I can''t go, I want to stay with you."


    Sheng Liang smiled, held her hand and said: "Don''t worry, I will be fine. Let''s go."


    Qiao Xuan was suddenly pushed out of the room by Sheng Liang, causing her to stagger for a bit. When she raised her head to look, Sheng Liang had already turned around, and was no longer looking at her.


    Qiao Xuan subconsciously wanted to return to Sheng Liang''s side, but she stopped after a few steps.


    She and Sheng Liang were both rational people, if they didn''t have the slightest confidence, she believed that Sheng Liang would not make such a decision.


    He definitely had some sort of plan. With her around, it would only cause him to think twice.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang again. His expression was still the same as usual, confident and focused.


    She knew it must be what she was thinking, so she hurried outside.


    But she did not go to the car, but waited outside instead. She wanted to leave together with Sheng Liang.


    After waiting outside for a good while, Qiao Xuan suddenly heard a gunshot from inside. Her mind immediately buzzed, then she lifted her leg and ran back.


    Sheng Liang had said that he would be fine. He had never lied to her, and he had always kept his promise.


    Qiao Xuan ran to the main door, but as the door was pushed open, no matter how hard she tried, she could only shout out his name.


    She knocked on the door for a long time before the door finally opened from the inside. When she saw Sheng Liang walking out, tears instantly flowed down her face.


    But Sheng Liang did not say anything, holding her shoulders, he quickly walked towards the side of the carriage.


    Qiao Xuan wiped her tears carelessly. Just as she wanted to ask him about the gunshot, she saw that his arm was bleeding when she looked down. His clothes were dark, so it was not obvious.


    "You''re hurt, is it a gunshot wound?" Qiao Xuan tried to help him hold down the wound, but blood kept flowing out from between her fingers.


    "Let''s get out of here first." Sheng Liang''s voice was very low, as if she was slightly out of breath.


    Qiao Xuan supported him and quickly got on the carriage. He took out some gauze from the glove compartment and started to bind it up, but it was useless as the blood quickly flowed out and dyed the gauze red.


    Even though it wasn''t a fatal position, at this rate, he would lose too much blood and be in danger of losing his life.


    Qiao Xuan saw that he was leaning against the back of the chair and his face had turned even more pale. Even her lips had slowly lost their color, causing her to panic in her heart, but she knew that the more time like this passed, the calmer she should stay.


    He quickly drove the car away, and with one hand holding the steering wheel and the other grabbing Yun Che''s hands that were starting to feel cold, he felt extremely pained in his heart. However, he still consoled him in a soft voice, "It''s okay, Sheng Liang, you''ll definitely be fine."


    "Yes." Sheng Liang forced a smile and smiled at her.


    But when Qiao Xuan saw it, the focus in his eyes gradually disappeared. He was just afraid that she would be worried so he held on.


    Qiao Xuan drove even faster, and almost bumped into other cars on several occasions. She had never been this reckless before, but she still tried her best to maintain a stable condition, so she couldn''t let Sheng Liang get injured again.

 C106

    When they arrived at the hospital, Sheng Liang had already completely lost consciousness. He was sent to the operation room very quickly.


    Qiao Xuan leaned against the wall outside the operation room alone, his eyes lifeless.


    When they were lifting him onto the flatcar with the nurse, Qiao Xuan''s clothes were stained with a lot of blood. He just stood there in the corridor, looking at everyone who passed by.


    Luo Keke ran over from the other side of the corridor, and when he saw her expression, he said softly, "Don''t worry, the one who performed the surgery on him was the best surgeon in our hospital. He will be fine."


    Qiao Xuan withdrew his thoughts, looked at Luo Keke and nodded.


    Although she had always known that Luo Keke was a doctor, this was the first time she had seen him in a white coat and there was a trace of heroic spirit in his gentleness.


    "The operation will take a long time. Come to my office and change your clothes." Luo Keke reached out to grab Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    But Qiao Xuan dodged it immediately, "There''s blood on my hand."


    However, Qiao Xuan did not. She was a rational person who was more sensitive than others, moreover, she was not good at socializing, she did not like being too close to others.


    Luo Keke did not force him, and only repeated: "You should change your clothes. When A Liu comes out later, you still need to take care of him."


    Qiao Xuan did not object and followed Luo Keke into her office.


    Luo Keke took out a set of clothes from the cupboard and passed it to her: "This is a new set of clothes, I haven''t worn it yet, go ahead and change."


    She pulled the curtain between her and the other doctors'' tables and went to close the door.


    Before entering, Qiao Xuan washed his hands, so he did not decline, and only said lightly: "How much is it, I''ll give it to you another day."


    Luo Keke had originally wanted to say that she didn''t need to, but she knew Qiao Xuan''s character and knew that it wouldn''t be for naught.


    Qiao Xuan changed out of his clothes and said while looking at her, "This clothes looks better on you."


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan said before he walked out, "I''ll go check if Sheng Liang has come out yet."


    This kind of operation would take at least two hours, but Luo Keke understood Qiao Xuan''s current mood. She only wanted to get to Sheng Liang''s side as soon as possible, so she did not stop him, and said: "I''ll go with you."


    From the beginning, Luo Keke did not ask what had happened today, why Sheng Liang was injured, but when she received Qiao Xuan''s call, she had quickly made arrangements.


    This point made Qiao Xuan very grateful, because at this time, she wasn''t in the mood to explain anything to her.


    But that didn''t mean that others wouldn''t ask.


    As they were waiting, a few people appeared in front of Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan recognized the person in the middle as the captain of the Criminal Police, Xiao Feng.


    "It''s the hospital''s police officer," Seeing Qiao Xuan''s stunned expression, Xiao Feng explained and then continued, "Miss Qiao, tell me what happened."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers slowly curled up. Right now, her mind was in a mess, she simply did not know what to say or what not to say.


    "Can you guys ask later? If she''s frightened, she might not be able to give a complete statement." Luo Keke said from the side.


    Xiao Feng looked at the others, then looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Miss Qiao, I only have one question. Who is the spear that injured Sheng Liang?"


    "Golden Phoenix Qilin." Qiao Xuan said lightly, "I saw him point a gun at Sheng Liang with my own eyes."


    "Gold Phoenix Qilin?" Xiao Feng''s gaze dimmed, then he smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. I hope that Miss Qiao can go to the team tomorrow and do a complete statement. Thank you for your cooperation."


    Qiao Xuan also nodded politely. Seeing them leave, she slowly sat down on the bench again.


    She didn''t ask Sheng Liang how he got injured, but she could guess that whether it was from Golden Phoenix Qilin''s attack or Sheng Liang''s attack, Sheng Liang must have had some sort of bet with Golden Phoenix Qilin.


    The result was that Sheng Liang won, otherwise, what she would see would be Sheng Liang''s corpse.


    At that time, she should not have left, it was because she trusted Sheng Liang''s abilities too much. He was, after all, not a god, and not someone who could always avoid danger.


    After a few hours, the door of the operation room finally opened. Seeing the doctor coming out, Qiao Xuan immediately walked over and asked: "How is he?"


    The doctor took off his mask, passed a small bag to Qiao Xuan from the nurse and said: "Fortunately it''s a close range shot, the warhead is complete and has been taken out. However, the external injuries are quite big, it will take a while for it to recover."


    Qiao Xuan took the pouch and held it tightly in his hand, thanking the doctor.


    After the anesthetic was applied, Sheng Liang woke up very quickly. Seeing that Qiao Xuan was sitting on the side of the bed, looking at him without blinking, he couldn''t help but want to reach out and caress her hair.


    Qiao Xuan jumped in shock and immediately went to support him. She carefully checked his wounds and saw that there were no bloodstains, then said: "You just finished the operation, do not move about too much."


    "Sorry, are you scared?" Sheng Liang blamed himself, "It was because of me that you fell into this danger."


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. She knew she could not blame him, he did not remember the past, so he did not even have the chance to refute Jin Feng Lin''s accusation.


    Especially when he was facing Qi Luo, when a woman that he once loved to the bones walked past him, he did not recognize her.


    If one day, he remembered everything, he would definitely blame himself.


    Sheng Liang woke up for a while and then fell into a deep sleep again. Later on, Luo Jie came over and told Qiao Xuan to go back and rest.


    For the entire night, Qiao Xuan did not dare to close his eyes. Every time Sheng Liang woke up from the pain, she would groan in pain.


    She held his hand all the way until dawn. Only then did the space between his eyebrows gradually relax and his breathing become regular.


    Early in the morning, Qiao Xuan napped beside the bed. She was confused and felt that there was someone by her side, but maybe she was too tired to open her eyes.


    When she finally woke up, it was already 9 in the morning. When the nurse came in for the IV drip, she asked, "Did someone just come in?"


    "Just now?" The nurse looked at her and thought for a while before saying, "Not just now, but at around 5 in the morning, someone came by. It was a woman."


    Qiao Xuan''s finger suddenly trembled, and his voice also drifted along with him. "Is it, a girl with long hair and big eyes?"


    "No, short hair." The nurse smiled and packed her things.


    Qiao Xuan had originally thought that it was Qi Luo, but although Qi Luo had short hair in the past, when he had first met her yesterday, it was true that she had long hair.


    But other than her, who would come and see Sheng Liang in such a mysterious manner?

 C107

    Qiao Xuan was in a daze, and felt a warm hand on the back of her hand. She turned her gaze and saw Sheng Liang looking at her: "What are you thinking?"


    Qiao Xuan held onto his hand and shook her head. After a while, she said, "Sheng Liang, let me ask you, if you forget about someone important, do you want to remember her again?"


    Sheng Liang stared blankly for a moment. Then, he suddenly pulled her closer and said in a soft voice, "If it''s really that important, I won''t forget. For example, you.


    Even if he knew that this was his sweet talk, Qiao Xuan would still rather believe that Sheng Liang was like a cup of venomous wine. If he let her live, she would live;


    Qiao Xuan was looking at him tenaciously, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and someone walked in, but quickly retreated: "I didn''t see anything!"


    Qiao Xuan blushed, she stood up and said: "Come back, what nonsense are you spouting?" There was nothing to begin with.


    Qiao Nan, who was about to close the door, heard Qiao Xuan say this and came in again. He smiled and said, "When I saw your movements, I subconsciously thought you were doing something shameful.


    " I''m not too hungry yet. Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Nan again, "You should go to the company, let your sister drive you there."


    " "What dog blood." Qiao Nan shook his neck, and asked as if he was listening to a story, "So, you plan to quit?"


    After sending Qiao Nan to the company, when Qiao Xuan returned to the hospital, he found a shop that Sheng Liang frequented. He packed a bowl of porridge for him along with a few light side dishes.


    Pushing open the door of the ward, and seeing that he was sleeping, Qiao Xuan walked over with light footsteps, placed the food on the table beside him, and sat down on the bed, looking at him.


    When Sheng Liang fell asleep, his expression was so peaceful, calm and peaceful like a child''s. It was just that, with his pretty face, even if he slept, he would look extremely bewitching.


    Qiao Xuan gently grabbed his hand, covering it with his palm, wishing that he could walk with him like this for the rest of his life.


    "When did you get back?" Sheng Liang opened his eyes and looked at Qiao Xuan.


    "Just now." Qiao Xuan immediately regained his senses, he forced out a smile and said, "You must be anxious from waiting, I''ll bring the porridge for you to drink."


    Seeing her quickly pour out the congee from the thermos and use a spoon to put it near his lips, Sheng Liang did not reject her and drank it all.


    Qiao Xuan always felt that this scene was familiar, and he remembered that back in Europe when her arm was injured, Sheng Liang had also fed her this way.


    Qiao Xuan had never been an unreasonable person, but now, she seemed to understand a little. Women who were in love were unreasonable, probably because they were worried about personal gains and losses, like the current her.


    In fact, she really wanted to ask Sheng Liang whether he really loved her, whether he was willing to stay with her forever, even if he managed to recover his memories, he wouldn''t abandon her. However, she couldn''t say it out loud, or perhaps, she was afraid that the answer wasn''t what she wanted.


    After feeding Sheng Liang some porridge, Qiao Xuan went to the washroom to wash the tableware. When she inadvertently raised her head, seeing that someone was standing behind her in the mirror, she was immediately shocked. When she saw that the person standing behind her was Sheng Hua, she suddenly turned around and asked him, "Why are you here?"


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s back facing the pond behind him, Sheng Hua laughed, "We were once extremely close before, why are you so afraid of me?"


    The Qiao Xuan that was intimate with him before was already dead, and had even died by his hands. Qiao Xuan deeply remembered this from the moment he woke up in this life.


    Hence, she had nothing to say to him, if not for the fact that she was still unable to bring him down, why would Qiao Xuan waste her time with him?


    "What are you trying to do?" Qiao Xuan''s tone was filled with disgust. She really didn''t want to be together with this person for even a second.


    "Don''t look at me with that kind of expression, it''s not like I''m your enemy," Sheng Hua stepped forward, and almost stuck close to Qiao Xuan''s body, "I''ve long told you this before, I''ll welcome you whenever you return."


    But she didn''t care at all!


    Qiao Xuan wanted to retreat and keep a distance from him, but there was already a pool of water behind her. Her back was pressed against the edge of the pool, it was ice-cold and painful to the extreme.

 C108

    "I am Sheng Liang''s fiancee now, and your sister-in-law. Please take care of yourself!" Qiao Xuan''s tone was slightly cold.


    Sheng Hua now, in front of Qiao Xuan, no longer bothered to hide it, and laughed sinisterly: "You said that trash, ah, I have never recognized him as my younger brother, I still don''t know which man''s bastard he is with, only my family''s old man would care about what others say, and even now he still believes that it was someone else who framed him, so he went to bed with that crazy woman. Only I know, that trash isn''t our Sheng Family''s child."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled, his fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the pond: "How do you know?"


    Sheng Hua retreated back and took out a piece of paper from his bag to give to Qiao Xuan: "Look carefully, this is the authority''s DNA test, it proves that he is not at all related to our family''s old man."


    Even if Sheng Liang did not have any position in the Sheng Family, she would never have thought that Sheng Liang was actually not Sheng Tianhao''s son! was definitely not Sheng Tianhao''s son!


    Qiao Xuan knew what this meant. As long as this conclusion was made public, everything that Sheng Liang had now would be gone. His identity, status, and wealth would all be for naught.


    "What are you trying to threaten me with?" If it wasn''t for this goal, why would Sheng Hua let her see him himself?


    Sheng Hua pushed his glasses frame forward, pretending to be a gentleman once again: "Qiao Xuan, I''m not telling you these to threaten you, I''m just telling you to be prepared. If one day, this news gets leaked, you won''t end up short on money."


    Qiao Xuan sneered: "Then I really have to thank you for your reminder."


    What leaked information, that was not something he had done on purpose.


    Sheng Hua slowly pulled the report away from Qiao Xuan''s hands. Then, he suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "I am doing this for your own good. To give up so much for someone who doesn''t even know who his father is, I truly feel sorry for you."


    "Do you have anything else? If not, I''m going back." Qiao Xuan immediately retracted his hand, and raised his leg to walk out.


    However, Sheng Hua blocked her, and she felt a burst of panic in her heart. She immediately wanted to escape from the other side, but this time, Sheng Hua directly hugged her, grabbed her wrist, and held both of her hands behind her back. After that, he wanted to kiss her.


    "Sheng Hua, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Qiao Xuan avoided her with all his might, trying his best to not let him touch her.


    He did not expect Sheng Hua to slap her on the face, and growled in a low voice: "Even Ol ''Four is mesmerized by you, why are you still pretending to be a pure and holy girl, I am already grateful that you''re not dirty!"


    Sheng Hua used a lot of strength, causing five scarlet fingerprint marks to appear on Qiao Xuan''s face, and her head to ring out. Even though she felt Sheng Hua biting down hard on her neck, she didn''t have the strength to resist.


    Suddenly hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, Qiao Xuan didn''t know what had happened. She only felt that the pressure on her body had disappeared, and her body slumped down, sitting on the ground.


    Then, Qiao Xuan saw that the person who was punching Sheng Hua everywhere, was Sheng Liang!


    She could not care less that she still could not stand steadily, and stumbled over, pushing Sheng Hua away with all her might, and spreading her arms in front of Sheng Liang, "Please leave now, or I''ll call the police!"


    As if he was not in a hurry, Sheng Hua slowly bent down and picked up his bag from the ground, then gave Qiao Xuan a vague smile: "When you think it through, call me anytime, I''ll be waiting for you."


    His words, made it seem as though she had something shameful with him, but Qiao Xuan was unable to explain it to him.


    Seeing Sheng Hua walking out, Qiao Xuan immediately turned around and checked Sheng Liang''s body: Are you alright?


    However, Sheng Liang only looked at Qiao Xuan, her eyes slightly cold: Why is he here, why is he looking for you?


    Qiao Xuan swallowed his saliva with much difficulty, but he still didn''t dare to raise his head and look at him. He just wanted to humiliate me. You may not remember, but before we were together, I was his fianc¨¦e. "


    Sheng Liang reached out and touched the spot where Qiao Xuan''s face was swollen, seeing that Qiao Xuan immediately frowned, he said softly: "Sorry."


    Qiao Xuan lifted his head. Seeing the self-blame in his eyes, he must have thought that he was the one who snatched her away from Sheng Hua. Qiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head.


    Even if they didn''t have any feelings back then, she was still willing to cooperate with him.


    Sheng Liang gently hugged her and whispered into her ear: "No matter what happens in the future, I won''t let anyone bully you again."


    Regardless, with his words, she was satisfied.


    Qiao Xuan slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest: "Mhm."


    After Sheng Liang helped her put the cold compress down, the red swelling on her face gradually disappeared. However, thinking about the appraisal report that Sheng Hua showed her, Qiao Xuan felt very uneasy.


    Today, Sheng Hua did not succeed. She was afraid that he would take revenge on Sheng Liang because of that, and reveal that Sheng Liang was not someone from the Sheng Family. If that happened, Sheng Liang would truly be doomed.


    "What are you thinking, absent-mindedly?" Sheng Liang took the pill from Qiao Xuan''s hand. One of the capsules was destroyed by her pinch, and all of the powder inside spilled out.


    Qiao Xuan regained his senses and saw Sheng Liang throw the medicine into the trash can. He lowered his head and said: "Sorry."


    Sheng Liang lifted her chin with one hand and made her look straight at him: "What exactly happened, can''t you tell me?"


    First was the appearance of Qi Luo, and now that she knew about Sheng Liang''s background, Qiao Xuan was about to go crazy from the torture of these two things.


    After a long while, she finally said: "Sheng Liang, let''s get married, then go to the new meeting and start over, okay?"


    When she saw the astonishment in Sheng Liang''s eyes, half of the passion that had just been ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished. She thought that this was the best way to go with the best of both worlds, to stay far away from the Sang City;


    But Sheng Liang didn''t know anything, how could he accept this ridiculous arrangement?


    "Qiao Xuan!"


    Sheng Liang was about to say something, but Qiao Xuan immediately interrupted him: "Forget it, just pretend I didn''t say anything."


    Qiao Xuan smiled, then took the medicine for him once more. He poured a cup of water and passed it to him: "Eat the medicine."


    There were some things that Sheng Liang could not lose, such as his identity. It was not only related to his position, it was also related to the fact that he always wanted to uphold the reputation of his mother.


    Therefore, Qiao Xuan secretly decided that she would help him complete these tasks.


    Hiding in the bathroom, Qiao Xuan called Sheng Hua''s cell phone and asked indifferently: "If you get me, you won''t reveal Sheng Liang''s identity?"


    "Of course," Sheng Hua said affirmatively, "You should know that even if he is the second largest shareholder, this will not affect me from becoming the successor to the Sheng Family."

    "Okay," Qiao Xuan agreed, then said, "Golden Palace Hotel''s 608, bring your computer, I want to see you delete all the backups."


    "No problem, see you tonight." Sheng Hua laughed and said, he hung up, his face immediately had a look of disdain: Come and play with me, then I''ll play with you until you die.


    Qiao Xuan held onto his phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed the assistant''s number: "Tell me the number of the local department. Right now."


    "Luke?" The assistant reacted for a while, then remembered that Lu Ke was the private investigator that she found for Qiao Xuan last time. She flipped through the pile of business cards on the table, took out Lu Ke''s card, and said, "I found it.


    Qiao Xuan wrote down his number and immediately called him: "I''m Qiao Xuan, I want to see you. Twenty minutes later, I''ll be waiting for you at the Upper Island coffee shop beside the St. Ci Hospital."


    When Lu Ke answered the phone, he was holding up a stack of photos to look at. Hearing that it was Qiao Xuan, the corner of his mouth hooked up: "Alright, see you later, I just so happened to have something to show Boss Qiao."


    Luke put the photo in a paper bag, took it out, and drove on. In the rearview mirror, he saw a car following him.


    He laughed disdainfully, then sped up, passing by on the congested road. When he looked back, he couldn''t see the car anymore.


    When he arrived at the coffee shop that Qiao Xuan talked about, he stopped the car, picked up the paper bag from the car seat and tucked it under his arm, then walked towards the coffee shop.


    However, he had only taken two or three steps when an Iveco suddenly turned the other side of the road and crashed into his car. When Luke heard the sound and looked back, he saw that his car had been turned upside down.


    Qiao Xuan sat by the window, slowly stirring up the coffee in his cup. Hearing the loud noise outside, he unconsciously turned his head to look, and saw that there seemed to be a car accident outside, causing a lot of people to surround them. Not long later, the police car arrived as well.


    As the shadows moved, Qiao Xuan seemed to see Xiao Feng. She couldn''t help but feel curious, wasn''t this a traffic accident?


    But she didn''t want to go into it. If she could, she wouldn''t want to deal with the police for the rest of her life.


    Qiao Xuan waited a little longer. More than half an hour had already passed since the appointed time she had with Lu Ke, but he still hadn''t arrived. Qiao Xuan took out his phone and called him, but he was unable to get an answer.


    Although he had only seen Lu Ke once, Qiao Xuan did not think that he was someone who would break his promise. Furthermore, on the phone just now, he had said that he had something to show her.


    Did something happen?


    Qiao Xuan''s gaze turned towards the outside again. This was the entrance to the hospital, so the people who were injured in the car accident should have already been sent inside the hospital. The crowd had scattered quite a bit, so Qiao Xuan could clearly see Xiao Feng inspecting the cars and carefully looking for clues.


    For some reason, her heart suddenly jumped, she hurriedly stood up, paid the bill, and immediately rushed out.


    Xiao Feng was at a loss on what to do. Seeing Qiao Xuan running over, he narrowed his eyes and then asked with a doubtful tone: "Didn''t Mr. Sheng just get injured and hospitalized yesterday? Why are you so interested in coming out for coffee today, Miss Qiao?"


    Qiao Xuan did not have the spirit to walk in circles with him, she looked at the car that was flipped over and there was still a pool of blood on the ground, she nervously asked: "Where''s the injured person, what''s his name?"


    Xiao Feng looked at Qiao Xuan suspiciously, but he still took out a proof bag and showed it to her, saying, "This is the driver''s license for the injured person, the name on it is Lu Ke."


    Qiao Xuan''s legs went soft for a moment, and he retreated two steps before barely managing to stand up. After that, he quickly ran towards the hospital.


    She had a rough understanding of what had happened. Sheng Hua must have known that she had called Lu Ke, which was why he got her to drive him.


    This method was the same as the time when he bumped into Sheng Qian!


    Seeing Qiao Xuan running towards the hospital, Xiao Feng also hurriedly followed him. Only when they arrived at the emergency room did he finally catch up to her.


    "Where''s the person who was in the car accident at the entrance?" Qiao Xuan pulled the nurse who was walking out from the room and asked.


    "It''s being rescued. The external force caused the fracture of the skull, the fracture of the ribs, and there were also many wounds on the body. The situation is not looking good." The nurse looked at Qiao Xuan and asked, "Are you his relative? We need his family to sign the medical notice."


    Critical Care...


    Qiao Xuan did not dare believe that this was true. Just because of a single call from her, a single person had to suffer such a huge amount of damage.


    How could it be like this, Sheng Hua, how could he be so ruthless!


    Looking at Qiao Xuan''s pale and absent-minded appearance, Xiao Feng said to the nurse: "We are currently contacting his family. We will trouble you to do your best to save him. This person is very important to the police."


    "I know. I''ll talk to the doctor." The nurse opened the door and went in again.


    There were only two people left at the door. Xiao Feng asked Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, can you tell me, what is your relationship with this Lu department?"


    "He ¡­ He''s my private investigator. " Qiao Xuan said before she suddenly regained her senses. She glanced at Xiao Feng before averting her eyes, "But before we met, he was already like this, so I don''t know what happened either."


    Although she should tell Xiao Feng about her suspicions and have the police investigate Sheng Hua, that way, Sheng Liang''s identity would definitely be exposed.


    Furthermore, with how cunning Sheng Hua was, even if he were to say it out loud, it would be futile.


    "Miss Qiao, helping the police solve a case is the duty of every citizen. I hope you can tell me everything you know." Xiao Feng was sure that Qiao Xuan knew something. Even though she and Xiao Shen did not meet, her performance had proven that Xiao Shen''s accident was related to her.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, not daring to look at Xiao Feng. His hawk-like eyes were simply too sharp, as if he wanted to see through her.


    "Qiao Xuan!" Sheng Liang worriedly called out as he walked over in his hospital gown.


    When Qiao Xuan saw him, she immediately turned and entered his embrace, her body still trembling uncontrollably.


    Sheng Liang did not remember the past. Yesterday, when Xiao Feng came, Sheng Liang was still unconscious, so he looked at Xiao Feng and coldly said: "Who are you? What did you do to my girlfriend?"


    Qiao Xuan had also forgotten that Sheng Liang did not remember Xiao Feng. He thought that Xiao Feng was bullying her, so she hurriedly explained: "He is the Criminal Police Division''s Captain Xiao. A car accident just now at the entrance, Captain Xiao was asking me if I saw the perpetrator."


    Xiao Feng did not know why Qiao Xuan had to lie, and it looked like Sheng Liang did not recognize him anymore. However, he had not heard about Sheng Liang''s amnesia.

 C110

    "Then, Captain Xiao, have you finished asking? After that, I''m going to take my girlfriend away." Sheng Liang''s voice was clearly filled with dissatisfaction.


    " The man in the car accident... "He''s our friend from before. I just saw him when I was leaving, but before we could say anything, the accident happened, I ¡­" Qiao Xuan continued to lie, it was not her forte, but she could only continue, "I''m afraid."


    " You should go home and rest in a bit. Don''t come to the hospital for the next two days, I will have Luo Jie take your place. " Sheng Liang said.


    " When have I ever lied to you? " Sheng Hua walked behind her and supported her shoulders.


    " "No, I just washed it before coming here." Sheng Hua lifted his head and smiled faintly.


    This situation was not within Qiao Xuan''s expectations, and for a moment, she did not know how to respond, "Then ¡­"


    "There''s no hurry. Let''s have a drink first. We haven''t had a drink together in a long time." Sheng Hua said as he pushed one of the cups in front of Qiao Xuan. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he stood up and said, "It would be even more perfect if you add a little more ice cubes. I''ll call the front desk for them to send it up."


    Qiao Xuan nodded, her eyes looking at Sheng Hua who had already walked to the bedside and used the phone at the head of the bed to call the reception. She immediately took out a sleeping pill that had been grinded into powder from her bag and poured it into Sheng Hua''s wine cup, gently shaking it.


    After doing all this, Qiao Xuan felt that his back was drenched.


    Sheng Hua returned from the call and sat down again, then pressed Qiao Xuan''s hand and said: "Don''t be so nervous, I won''t hurt you."


    The moment he touched it, Qiao Xuan felt a chill all over his body, and immediately retracted his hand: "I''m not nervous."


    Sheng Hua did not speak anymore. Soon after, the waiter brought the ice over. Sheng Hua put the ice inside, raised his wine cup and said to Qiao Xuan: "I hope tonight will be our beautiful memory."


    Qiao Xuan guiltily did not look at him, and only lowered his head to take a sip of the wine.


    Before he even finished his second cup, Sheng Hua''s eyes were already closed. He pulled Qiao Xuan and said: "I''m tired, let''s go to sleep."


    Qiao Xuan was pulled towards the side of the bed. Just as he took two steps, Sheng Hua fell onto the ground with a thud.


    Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Hua was motionless and her heart was thumping non-stop. She slowly squatted down and used her hands to push him.


    In her previous life, they were husband and wife, so Qiao Xuan knew the password to start the computer. However, when she opened the page, what she saw was her own face.


    She was suddenly stunned. It took her a moment to realize that this was a surveillance footage!


    It seemed that Sheng Hua had been prepared for her since long ago, so he should have been aware that she had drugged him just now.


    Or rather, he had purposely let her take a bath, and then had the waiter bring her ice cubes. Actually, he had purposely given her a chance so that she could make a move.


    "I thought your IQ would increase a little when you''re with Ol ''Three. It seems I overestimated you." Sheng Hua stood up from the ground, patted on the dirt on his body and walked over to her.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he had miscalculated. Since Sheng Hua already knew, he definitely would not give her another opportunity to obtain what she wanted.


    Thus, right now, she only wanted to leave.


    She suddenly stood up and pushed Sheng Hua away. Just as she was about to run out of the bed, Sheng Hua used a backhand movement to pull her away, and then dragged her towards the bedside: "I know that you and Sheng Liang are just acting. You two still haven''t gone to bed yet right?


    Qiao Xuan was being dragged by him and was unable to struggle free, but when she passed by the sofa, she forcefully reached out and took her bag.


    Unfortunately, she only managed to open the zipper in time before the contents of the bag were knocked out by Sheng Hua.


    Sheng Hua lowered his head, looked at the folding blade on the ground, and a ruthless look swept past his eyes: "You still want to kill me?"


    Of course she didn''t think that way. She only wanted to defend herself, but how could Sheng Hua believe that? He used his hand to hold her neck so tightly, causing her to be unable to breathe. I didn''t... "Yes..."


    Sheng Hua threw Qiao Xuan onto the ground, pointed to his heart and said: "Take up that blade, come here."


    Qiao Xuan fell to the ground, but she did not dare take the blade. She looked at Sheng Hua, her hand groping the ground behind her, and then she grabbed onto something.

 C111

    A bottle of ordinary perfume, but it had now become her lifesaver. She hurriedly picked it up, and without caring about the consequences any longer, she sprayed it towards Sheng Hua.


    Sheng Hua had a very serious pollen allergy, she couldn''t even smell perfume, it was not only a sneeze that produced a red rash, it also shocked her.


    Seeing that he was quickly retreating, but he still kept sneezing, Qiao Xuan hurriedly got up from the ground and went to the bathroom to change his clothes. He didn''t even take his bag, he only picked up his phone and ran out.


    She ran all the way down to the hall. Seeing that Sheng Hua did not chase her, she knew that the perfume had taken effect and found an excuse to have the waiter take a look at the room.


    Even though she hated him, she couldn''t let him die. She had to use legal means to get him punished as he deserved, otherwise, she would be like him.


    After exiting the hotel, Qiao Xuan went back to Sheng Liang''s villa. Upon entering, he saw Sheng Qian sitting on the carpet playing games: "What are you doing here?"


    Sheng Qian was busy trying to pass the trial, he did not look back, but said: "Didn''t I say, I want to live here, I have even moved my luggage here."


    He did, but he only stayed here for one night, and the next day he was gone, and she thought he was joking.


    "Miss Qiao, you''re back," Qing Qing said as soon as he saw her. "I''ve cooked some candied fruits and pear water at the right time, drink some too."


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to ask why did she think of boiling pear water, Sheng Qian coughed at the thought of the situation. She casually asked: "Have you caught a cold?"


    It just so happened that Sheng Qian had succeeded in clearing the trial. She was happily doing all sorts of victory poses, and her mouth was even letting out excited cries.


    After he calmed down, he turned around and looked at Qiao Xuan. Suddenly, he frowned: "Where did you go?


    Qiao Xuan immediately looked down guiltily. When he left the hotel, she had obviously cleaned up in the bathroom, so she shouldn''t have been able to see anything.


    "I don''t have any ¡­" Qiao Xuan raised her head, seeing the doubt in Sheng Qian''s long and narrow eyes, only then did she realize that he was only tricking her.


    But he did have a keen eye, or so it seemed from her manner.


    Seeing her running upstairs in panic, Sheng Qian did not stop her. He only took out his phone and dialed a number.


    Sitting on the bed in her room, Qiao Xuan was still in a state of shock. She wanted to call the hotel to ask if Sheng Hua was alright, but she didn''t dare to ask.


    And, to her great helplessness, she did not get the report.


    If tonight''s matter became like this, Sheng Hua might even get angry from embarrassment and directly announce the results to the media.


    If that happened, she would truly be in trouble for Sheng Liang.


    It was because she was too stupid that things turned out this way. There was no way to end it.


    Just as she was thinking about this, she heard a knock on the door. She walked over to open the door and saw that it was Sheng Qian.


    He put his hands on his chest and leaned against the door. "Do you know what day it is?" he asked with a smile.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. She never had any concept of a holiday.


    Sheng Qian was not annoyed either, he rubbed her hair and said, "Today is the first anniversary of our relationship, let''s celebrate it."


    This meant that he had returned home for a year. Qiao Xuan still remembered the first time he saw him, after returning from a foreign country, he had dyed an exaggerated amount of hair and wore fancy clothes. He looked like a little scoundrel.


    At that time, she felt that they were completely different from each other, and especially didn''t like the smell of the different women''s perfume on his body. Sheng Hua was even further away from her.


    The dew on the night of August was heavy, even though he was wearing a thick jacket, the floor was covered with cushions. As he sat on the steps outside the door, Qiao Xuan could still feel the cold air blowing at him.


    "It''s song time, what song do you want to hear?" Sheng Qian carried the guitar and sat beside Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan still remembered that in the Italian bar, Sheng Qian''s singing was very pleasant to listen to. He had even once bragged that he was a singer delayed by his status as a fuerdai.


    "''Dusk''." Although it was a little late and wasn''t very suitable for the occasion, she liked the rhythm and the lyrics.


    Sheng Qian adjusted his pitch, and slowly started to play and sing. His voice had a sense of texture along with the guitar, just like the sound of nature.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how she fell asleep, nor did he know how he managed to return to his room. When he turned his head and saw Qiao Nan staring at her, he gave her a shock and immediately sat up: "What are you doing, trying to scare me to death."


    Qiao Nan looked at her with disappointment: "Sis, how many times have I told you this? Can you grow a snack? Men are all perverts, how can you be at ease sleeping in front of a man?"


    "You are my younger brother, do I have to be on guard against you?" Qiao Xuan rolled his eyes and got off the bed.


    "I''m talking about Sheng Qian." Qiao Nan said lightly, "Last night, when I came back, I saw you leaning on his shoulder, he was still... "I kissed you."


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to change his clothes, but after hearing Qiao Nan''s words, he immediately froze in place.


    In fact, she couldn''t explain why she would relax her guard against Sheng Qian and be able to sleep peacefully beside him. He was clearly a playboy, she should have kept her distance.


    It was probably because of the fright he received from Sheng Hua that he went insane.


    "I''ll tell him." Qiao Xuan said.


    "I''m not talking about that," Qiao Nan said as he turned around and looked at Qiao Xuan''s back, "Sis, let''s leave this place. The Wealthy Class water is too deep, it''s not suitable for you."


    In Qiao Xuan''s impression, Qiao Nan had always been a child, so she would always do her best to spoil and protect him.


    But today, Qiao Xuan realized that he had grown up, and was already a man.


    In fact, she knew that the fight for the Wealthy Class seat did not suit her, but from the start, she did not marry Sheng Hua because she wanted to climb the Wealthy Class seat.


    "Xiao Nan, can you give elder sister some more time? Once everything is over, our family will leave the Sang City for good." Since she had decided to help Sheng Liang, she couldn''t abandon him midway.


    Qiao Nan did not say anything else, but after she left, she let out a soft sigh.


    Qiao Xuan changed his clothes and saw that Sheng Qian was already in the dining hall. Recalling what Qiao Nan said about him kissing her last night, she started to feel uncomfortable.


    But Sheng Qian acted as if nothing had happened and shouted at her, "Did you see the news?

 C112

    Qiao Xuan could not bother to think about other things, she quickly walked over and took the phone from Sheng Qian''s hands.


    On the news, it was reported that Sheng Hua had an allergic reaction in the hotel last night. When the waiter went in, Sheng Hua''s phone just happened to ring, and someone reported to him that the mission was completed, and that person was unable to wake up.


    " "My waist isn''t good, so I won''t be going. My third brother doesn''t want to see me anyway." Sheng Qian started to play games on the carpet again.


    " Qiao Xuan simply did not tell him that she had just arrived. She walked over to take a look at the book in his hands, it was A Flower Lullaby written by Kang Cheng, "Look at your essay."


    " Casually looking around, "he said, as his gaze fell upon Qiao Xuan," When I woke up at four in the morning, I realized that the crabapple blossoms had not slept.


    " "Don''t you still have me?" Sheng Qian walked over with both hands in his pockets, his smile somewhat crafty, "Seeing your customer fight or not, I''m fine with it, I have both martial arts and martial arts."


    " You''re the one who''s reluctant to give me the gift I wanted. " In an angle that Sheng Liang couldn''t see, Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan dubiously.


    " Qi Luo is back, did you know? " After Qiao Xuan asked this question, he felt that it was very sudden. This was a private matter between her and Sheng Liang, she shouldn''t have troubled Luo Jie.


    " The plane is still above our country, and Miss Qiao is already starting to miss Boss Sheng? " Liu Fan saw that Qiao Xuan''s expression was blank, and joked on the side.


    " "No." Qiao Xuan blushed as he lowered his head to take out a book to ease his awkwardness.

 C113

    As Qiao Xuan had said, why would Liu Fan invite her to travel with him, and with such enthusiasm?


    " "Liu is always joking." Qiao Xuan laughed.


    " I think you probably misunderstood me. Sheng Liang and I have a good relationship, I won''t betray him to another company. " Qiao Xuan immediately said, he did not want to give Liu Fan a chance to probe further.


    " It''s Sheng Liang, right? Why did you not answer, afraid that we would hear your whispers? " Liu Fan joked.


    " It''s already dusk over at our side. Have you eaten yet? " Qiao Xuan felt like a little girl, the sweetness in his heart bubbling up.


    " Not yet, Miss Qing Qing was so focused on dating that she forgot to cook. " Sheng Liang complained.


    " "What''s wrong with you? You must be exhausted after such a long flight."


    " "Hmm?" Sheng Liang asked after hearing her pause.


    " I missed you a bit. " Especially when they were flying above Italy, Qiao Xuan could not help but think of their trip to Europe. At that time, he was right beside her, although he was still indifferent to her at that time.


    " I regret letting you go. " Sheng Liang said.


    " There''s an opening tonight, so come with me. " Liu Fan said.

 C114

    "I''m sorry, I''m going to answer a phone call." Qiao Xuan said to Liu Fan, then walked towards the direction of the washroom, and asked Sheng Qian, "Isn''t that the middle of the night over there? Why aren''t you sleeping, and give me a call?"


    "My waist is twisted again, it hurts so much I can''t sleep. If you''re not here, they won''t care about me." Sheng Qian spoke pitifully.


    Qiao Xuan leaned against the wall and unknowingly laughed out loud, "Your waist is injured, you went to find another woman, right? At 2 in the morning, the night life for you has just started, right?"


    "To the heavens and earth, ever since I discovered you, how could those mediocre, commonplace fans enter my eyes?" Sheng Qian laughed, "Do you miss me?"


    "No," Qiao Xuan said decisively before preparing to hang up, "If there''s nothing else, go back and sleep early. Otherwise, not only will your back hurt, your kidneys will also be crippled."


    Sheng Qian said innocently: "If you still don''t believe me, then let''s do a video to prove my innocence. Qiao Xuan, I''m telling you, you are not allowed to refuse.


    Before Qiao Xuan could say anything, Sheng Qian had already launched a video call. With him threatening her first, Qiao Xuan had no choice but to accept.


    Sheng Qian''s face blossomed with a smile, "Good girl, so obedient."


    Qiao Xuan felt goosebumps all over his body, and immediately said: "Alright, I know you''re at home, hang up, go to sleep early."


    Hearing her urging, Sheng Qian didn''t seem to be very happy. He pulled his face and said: "It''s really perfunctory, I''m already so uncomfortable, can''t you comfort me a little?"


    Since he said that, Qiao Xuan also felt that he had gone overboard. He apologized: "I''m sorry, why don''t I call Qing Qing and let her warm you up."


    "Forget it, it''s the middle of the night. If Luo Jie found out, what kind of thoughts would I have towards Qing Qing?" Seeing the guilt on Qiao Xuan''s face, Sheng Qian couldn''t help but laugh, "I see you, and it doesn''t hurt anywhere."


    Seeing that he could still talk so shamelessly, Qiao Xuan seriously said, "It''s best if you go to sleep early. Don''t always sit there, it''s not good for your waist."


    Sheng Qian laughed, then suddenly jumped up from the bed and walked to the window with his cell phone. He opened the curtain and said to Qiao Xuan emotionally: "Look, there''s a meteor shower!"


    Qiao Xuan saw that in the sky behind him, shooting stars were flying about like rain, but also like fireworks in the sky.


    "Beautiful, right?" Sheng Qian laughed proudly, "Isn''t it romantic?"


    He had deliberately waited until midnight to call her, so that she could see the meteor shower.


    Even if she didn''t mean that to him, Qiao Xuan was still a woman after all.


    "Thank you, Sheng Qian." Qiao Xuan also couldn''t find a more suitable word to make him not misunderstand, and could at the same time express his feelings.


    "I didn''t want to hear you say thank you," Sheng Qian''s voice was somewhat low and deep, "If you can, how about you put me behind Third Brother? I don''t mind being the spare tire."


    Thinking about how he would be played by him every single time, Qiao Xuan said in annoyance: "Don''t joke with me again, it''s not funny at all."


    "This time I''m serious," Sheng Qian immediately said. "Qiao Xuan, if you find out that Third Brother isn''t suitable for you one day, you must consider me first."


    Qiao Xuan did not speak, and silently hung up. She leaned against the wall, and stayed silent for a long time.


    Sheng Qian and Sheng Liang had never been one and the same. Even if she and Sheng Liang were to separate, she would not be able to accept Sheng Qian.


    After accompanying Liu Fan in watching the show for the whole day, the sound at the scene was very loud. Qiao Xuan felt that his ears had always been buzzing.


    Coming out of the venue, Liu Fan said that he would bring her to eat with the higher ups of the branch organizations. Qiao Xuan had never liked this kind of social interaction, even in Golden Age, she would always reject it.


    But Liu Fan said again and again: "I know that the Miss Qiao rarely participates in this type of meal, but this time, you must go. There is someone you would not expect."


    Liu Fan spoke so mysteriously that it was hard for Qiao Xuan to refuse, so he could only follow her. When they arrived there, Qiao Xuan found out that the person Liu Fan was talking about was her classmate at the MBA in the United States, a German male, Senior.


    However, Qiao Xuan was not familiar with him. When she was in school, she went about her own business and rarely interacted with other people, especially with men.


    But when Senior saw her, he was actually very excited. He even told her in Chinese that he was not fluent: "Qiao, I finally saw you again, I''m not dreaming right?"


    As he said that, he rushed over and hugged Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was suddenly embraced by him and was shocked. However, since many people were present, she could not act impolitely. She slowly pushed him away and smiled: "I''m very happy to see you too."


    "I really have to thank Chairman Liu. Otherwise, I wouldn''t even know how to find you." Senior looked at Liu Fan and said, "Thank you, Chairman Liu. Thank you for bringing Qiao to me."


    Liu Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Senior, you don''t have to be so polite, it''s just a small matter."


    Looking at Liu Fan''s flattering smile, Qiao Xuan finally understood that the reason she spent so much effort to bring her to Milan was to curry favor with Senior.


    "Then, I won''t disturb the reminiscence of the two old friends any longer. I''ll be leaving first." As Liu Fan said this, he called everyone in the room out and then closed the door.


    "Qiao ¡ª"


    Just as Senior approached Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan immediately retreated: "I''m sorry, but I must tell you, I already have a boyfriend."


    "I know, but what does it matter? You have the right to choose, and I also have the right to pursue you." Senior still refused to give up.


    Qiao Xuan laughed helplessly. "Senior, I don''t understand. When we were going to school, I don''t think we talked about this before, right?


    Why was he so fanatical about her?


    "Although we have never communicated before, I have always been paying attention to you," Senior said sincerely. "I had originally planned to confess to you when I graduated, but then, something happened to my family so I decided to return home early. I wrote to you in accordance with the address you left in your school file, but I was returned to say that you might have moved. "


    She didn''t move. The address she left was fake.


    Senior continued, "Later on, I specially studied Chinese and came to China to look for you. But there are too many people in your country with the same name, I simply cannot find them. A few days ago, Liu Fan''s company was working with our family, so I mentioned you to her. I didn''t expect her to actually know you, so I asked her to bring you here. "


    Qiao Xuan did not expect such an experience. Listening to him repeatedly talking about his family, Qiao Xuan asked, "Terry Senior is your father?"


    "Yes." Senior was still in the midst of excited jealousy, and the eyes he was looking at Qiao Xuan with were all shining.

 C115

    No wonder Liu Fan was so active. The Senior Family in Germany was an internationally renowned family, Terry Senior was one of the top ten jewelry mogul in the Forbes ranking dozens of years ago.


    In order to have a good relationship with the Senior family, Liu Fan had actually used such a method to contribute to their relationship, and had even continuously advised her to hire a sweet orange for the sake of their company''s development.


    Senior, I am very grateful that you put in so much effort to find me, but I still decide to return to our country tomorrow. We can still be friends in the future, but please don''t do anything for me. Qiao Xuan bent his body slightly towards Senior, and without looking at his reaction, he immediately opened the door and went out.


    Qiao Xuan walked out of the room. Seeing that Liu Fan was still outside, she suppressed the anger in her chest with all her might and said, "Chairman Liu, if you want to form a partnership with the Senior Family, please use an open method. Don''t think of taking shortcuts, and don''t use others."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan return to his room after he finished speaking, Liu Fan snorted coldly: "What''s there to be proud of, isn''t he still relying on a man to get the upper hand?"


    Qiao Xuan returned to his room and called the front desk, asking them to help her book a plane ticket for tomorrow morning.


    She thought about it and planned to call Sheng Liang again, but after calculating the time difference, it was already 1am in the morning in the country. She gave up on this idea and only sent a message to Qiao Nan.


    The next morning, without notifying anyone, Qiao Xuan dragged her luggage to the airport. She was already impatient to return to Sang City.


    When she arrived at Sang City, it was 3 pm Beijing time. Just as she stepped out of the airport entrance, she saw a familiar figure standing there. Despite the crowd surrounding her, she was able to catch a glimpse of him immediately.


    If you just stood there quietly, you could make a scene for yourself.


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes were a little hot, and by the time she had finally held back her tears, her body had already been embraced into a warm embrace.


    "I missed you." Sheng Liang whispered into her ear.


    With so much words stuck in his chest and so many thoughts wanting to pour out, hearing his three words, Qiao Xuan felt that there was no need to say anything else.


    She came out of his arms, looked into his eyes, and said, "Me too, so I came back."


    Sheng Liang''s fingers caressed her face for a long time, as though he had thousands of words to say, but in the end he only said, "Go home."


    He took the suitcase from her and, taking her hand with his other hand, walked over to his car.


    After returning home, Sheng Liang told Qiao Xuan to go take a bath and have a good night''s sleep, but Qiao Xuan was unwilling to part with him. During these past few days of separation, she had spent every second of every second of her life overflowing with longing.


    Qiao Xuan curled up on the sofa and tightly hugged his waist. Sheng Liang let her rest on his body, gently wiping her hair.


    She closed her eyes and told him about what had happened in Milan, including the reason why Liu Fan had tricked her into going there.


    When Sheng Liang heard Senior''s name, his hand suddenly stopped. He pinched Qiao Xuan''s chin and asked: "When we were in school, you really weren''t close with him?"


    Looking at him being jealous, Qiao Xuan felt a sense of joy. She shook her head and said, "I swear, I''m really not familiar with him."


    Liu Fan wants to open up the European market, and he actually wants to use you as a pawn. He''s the chairman of Sweet and Orange International, and he dares to do this.


    "Forget it, it''s not like I''m at a disadvantage. I''ll just keep my distance from her in the future." Qiao Xuan said indifferently.


    Sheng Liang pointed his finger at her forehead. "Idiot, can you really not tell?


    At that time, Qiao Xuan was only in a hurry to return, she did not think about this at all.


    She hugged Sheng Liang tightly again, rejoicing in her heart that Senior was not that kind of person.


    The two of them sat on the sofa like this for the entire afternoon, not doing anything. Qiao Xuan would wake up after a while and only by opening her eyes and seeing that Sheng Liang was still there would she be able to relax.


    Qing Qing hid in the kitchen and busied himself for the whole afternoon, cooking a lot of dishes that Qiao Xuan liked to eat. Then, he was called out on a phone by Luo Jie to go on a date.


    Qiao Nan and Sheng Qian did not return either. Qiao Xuan understood that they did not want to disturb her and Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at Sheng Liang: "Isn''t this too wasteful?" How could the two of them finish?


    Sheng Liang pulled her down and gave her the chopsticks: "It''s alright, I can still enjoy the luxury occasionally."


    She went outside to the wine cabinet and brought back a bottle of red wine. With her face slightly flushed, she asked Sheng Liang: "I want to drink with you, is that possible?"


    Last time they were at the Orchid Sky Hotel, she was drunk drinking and seemed to have said a lot of things to Sheng Liang, but when she woke up, she could not remember what she said.


    However, that feeling actually made her feel wonderful.


    There were some things, perhaps only when she was drunk, that she dared to say to him, some things, only when she was not burdened with them.


    Sheng Liang nodded his head: "Sure."


    Taking the wine cup over, Qiao Xuan poured two cups, without any kind of speech, she picked up the wine cup and directly drank it, and before Sheng Liang could react, she quickly poured another cup and drank it all.


    "Qiao Xuan," When she was about to pour the third cup, Sheng Liang hurriedly held her hands down, "Are you unhappy about something? Tell me, I''ll help you settle it."


    She looked at Sheng Liang with blurry eyes as she said, "When I was alone in Milan, I thought about you every single moment, but I didn''t dare to call you because I was afraid to disturb your work and rest. You know, I''ve never cared so much about anyone in my life, even if it was just seeing your name, I''d be happy. I''d even be frightened if you weren''t with me. When I left Milan, there was only one thought on my mind. I want to be with you and never be separated from you again. "


    After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, Sheng Liang didn''t speak for a long time as he quietly looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan slapped his forehead, and laughed heartlessly: "Sorry, I might really have drunk too much, you don''t have to care about what I just said."


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hands, and pulled her into his embrace, stroking her hair: "Even if it''s my previous heinous act, wouldn''t you care?"


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head: "You have never been an unforgivable person. Even if you did anything, it would still be forgivable."

 C116

    Even if he did something, he could still be forgiven... Is it?


    Sheng Liang''s pupils contracted. "Qiao Xuan, I actually ¡­"


    Before Sheng Liang could finish speaking, Qiao Xuan suddenly kissed him, just like how he usually kissed her.


    She didn''t want to hear his apology or anything like that. It was good that he didn''t remember anything from the past. She only wanted him now.


    This trip to Milan this time, made her firm on this point. She would not give him up to anyone, not even Qi Luo.


    Although Qiao Xuan''s movements were young and immature, they were exceptionally warm. She almost couldn''t breathe, and because of the alcohol, her face was completely red, as if she was smeared with rouge.


    Sheng Liang had originally been hesitant, but after a long while, he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly let himself take control of her.


    Qiao Xuan''s mood increased even more, she was completely different from her usual rigid and reserved self. When his lips were violently moving in her mouth, she also responded to him enthusiastically.


    When the emotions reached their deepest parts, Sheng Liang picked her up in one go and went upstairs, pressing her down on the big bed in his room. From top to bottom, he looked into her eyes: "Look at who I am, don''t you regret it?"


    Qiao Xuan''s head was still dizzy, but she was very clear in her heart. She nodded: "Sheng Liang, the person I love is you, I will not regret it."


    Sheng Liang bent down, and kissed her forehead all the way to her collarbone. Looking at her infatuated expression, he finally let go of his guard.


    Qiao Xuan now truly understood what it meant to be ecstatic and eat one''s bones. Even if one had to first experience the piercing pain, the moment they blended in with each other like water and milk, everything would be worth it.


    When he woke up the next morning, Qiao Xuan turned his head around and saw that Sheng Liang was still by her side, sleeping soundly.


    Qiao Xuan leaned over and gently kissed the corner of his lips.


    Qiao Xuan did not wake him up. She quietly got off the bed, showered and changed her clothes, then went to the kitchen to make breakfast for him.


    Qing Qing yawned as he walked into the kitchen. Seeing her, he said in shock, "Miss Qiao, why are you up so early? No, Luo Jie said he would call her Young Mistress in the future."


    Therefore, even though they were well aware of what happened last night, Qiao Xuan''s face still blushed slightly, but she did not deliberately correct her.


    Sheng Liang also came down quickly. He had already changed his clothes and was buttoning up the sleeves of his shirt.


    "Let''s eat." Qiao Xuan placed the dining plate on the table and looked at him. Her voice was soft and her face was flushed red.


    Sheng Liang walked over and hugged her from behind, and said: "You''ve worked hard, rest at home today. Don''t go to work anymore."


    Knowing that he felt sorry for her, Qiao Xuan did not object, "Mmm."


    Qiao Nan just happened to see this scene when he came in, and immediately covered his eyes and said: "Early in the morning, can you all be more careful, I''m still a minor."


    Qiao Xuan subconsciously wanted to take away the hand Sheng Liang had placed on her waist, but Sheng Liang held her even more tightly and said to Qiao Nan: "You must try to get used to it from now on, this is just a daily occurrence."


    Seeing their sweet expressions, Qiao Nan was happy for Qiao Xuan in his heart. This sister of hers had finally awakened.


    Seeing that they had all sat down, Qiao Xuan realized that there was one missing person, and asked: "Why are you not seeing Sheng Qian?"


    Qiao Nan looked at Sheng Liang''s expression and secretly sighed at Qiao Xuan''s EQ. At a time like this, why mention of an unrelated man: "I don''t know, I probably didn''t come back last night, but this place isn''t his home, so it''s normal for me to not come back."


    What he said made sense. Sheng Qian had always been whimsical and unrestrained, leaving as he pleased. There was nothing strange about it.


    After breakfast, Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan went to the company together. After they put on their coats at the profound entrance, Qiao Xuan lowered her head and helped Sheng Liang button his clothes one by one. She even felt that doing this kind of thing was a kind of happiness.


    "Sis, stop dawdling. I''m going to be late." Qiao Nan shouted at the door. Even if you want me to help you, do you have to split the time?


    Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked Sheng Liang in the eye. Both of them laughed, then Qiao Xuan said, "Be careful on the road."


    "Got it." Sheng Liang also laughed, then turned and walked out.


    Qiao Xuan walked over and stood on the doorstep, and watched as their car left the main entrance before slowly turning around.


    As soon as they parted, she began to miss it. So this was what it felt like to be in love.


    She had a good night''s sleep last night, so she wasn''t sleepy at all. She packed up and prepared to go to the hospital to check on him. She hadn''t been there for the past few days, so she didn''t know how he was.


    Most importantly, she was still brooding over the thing that Qiao Nan said he wanted to show her. Although Qiao Nan had told her that Lu Ke was sent to the hospital with nothing on him other than his ID, she still didn''t quite believe him.


    The hospital''s corridor was always filled with the smell of disinfectant. No matter how many times Qiao Xuan came, he was still unable to get used to it.


    On the sign outside the ward, there was the name of the landing department. The person who opened the door was a young woman, probably Luke''s wife. With a haggard expression, she asked, "Who are you?"


    "My name is Qiao Xuan, I came to see Lu Ke." Qiao Xuan said politely.


    But she didn''t expect that when Lu Ke''s wife heard Qiao Xuan''s name, her expression suddenly turned cold and stern, "You are precisely the person who entrusted him with this task. Since he has turned out like this, you have to bear all of your responsibilities!"


    "Madam Lu, calm down first and let me go in first. I have to at least take a look at his condition." Qiao Xuan had never thought of avoiding responsibility. She was indeed responsible for all that had happened to Lu Ke.


    "What are you looking at? He''s paralyzed and his brain is broken. Let me tell you, this is all your doing. You have to compensate us for our losses, or else I''ll sue you!" Lu Ke''s wife shouted loudly as she pushed Qiao Xuan out.


    Qiao Xuan was pushed so hard that she almost fell to the ground. She supported herself with a hand on the wall, barely able to stand up, and then said with a calm and composed tone: "I know, Madam Lu. I will not lose a single cent of the money that I owe.


    Lu Ke''s wife didn''t answer, but continued to ask, "How much can you pay?"


    "I''ll consult a lawyer on that." Qiao Xuan answered truthfully.


    When she heard about asking a lawyer, Lu Ke''s wife''s expression changed a little. She said to Qiao Xuan: "You don''t need to ask any lawyer. Give me two hundred thousand and I''ll tell you."


    Qiao Xuan thought for a while, then said: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to write me a receipt, and I also need to record it."


    When he gave her a card, she confirmed that there really were two hundred thousand in it. Then she said to Qiao, "When I was tidying up his clothes, I saw a paper bag containing a pile of photographs, but just before you arrived, a very handsome man took them away.

 C117

    Without needing to ask, she already knew that she had asked for money from that man. However, Qiao Xuan did not care about that, she only asked: "What is that man''s name?"


    " I don''t know, tall and handsome, with diamond earrings and a silver cross around his neck. "


    " The meteor shower that night was beautiful, thank you. " Qiao Xuan said softly. She knew that Sheng Qian was someone who would take advantage of the situation.


    " "Where are you? I''ll go find you." Qiao Xuan said.


    " Don''t move. " Sheng Qian said, and then used his finger to point at a few angles, then pulled her over to his seat while smiling, "How is it, this place is very beautiful, right?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart tensed up, what he meant was, the photo was related to Sheng Liang?


    Sheng Qian had not wanted to tell her before, but seeing that she was so unwilling to give up, he did not hesitate any longer. He took a paper bag from the table and gave it to her: "You want it, but I need to remind you that you should prepare yourself."


    Listening to his tone, Qiao Xuan felt even more uneasy. She took it and slowly opened it.


    It was actually Sheng Liang and... Qi Luo.


    And the background and time of the photo was exactly the night when she was with Sheng Liang at the Blue Sky Hotel.


    "I tried to find this woman, but I couldn''t find anything. She seemed to be blank, as if she just appeared out of nowhere." Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan''s pale face and asked: "Do you know her?"


    How could she not know Sheng Liang''s ex-girlfriend, Qi Chu''s sister? She was kidnapped not long ago, and it was because of Qi Luo.


    Since Sheng Qian was unable to find her, it meant that Qi Chu knew that she had returned. With their family''s background, it was too easy for them to hide a person''s existence.


    She just could not understand why Sheng Liang had not told her about it after meeting him for the entire night. Even when he had been with Jin Feng Lin, it was as if he did not know Qi Luo at all.


    Was it because he was hiding something from her, or was it because of someone''s meticulous plan to separate them?


    Qiao Xuan put the photo back and tried his best to stay calm. He then said to Sheng Qian, "Don''t get involved with this matter anymore, I will settle it myself."


    Seeing that she was about to leave, Sheng Qian immediately stopped her: "Did you think that these photos were fake? Do you really believe that Sheng Liang would not carry you and stay with other women?"


    Until now, the people from the Sheng Family still did not know about Sheng Liang and Qi Luo, so Sheng Qian only thought that Sheng Liang had betrayed her.


    Qiao Xuan did not explain anything and only said to him: "I believe him."


    Sheng Qian was speechless for a moment, he could only watch as Qiao Xuan left. After a long while, he made a phone call and said to the people there: "Continue investigating that woman for me. Without any clues, change the angle and start searching from Sheng Liang''s body."


    He didn''t believe that a living person would not be able to leave a trace.


    When Qiao Xuan left the resort, her heart was in a mess. The fear of losing Sheng Liang took over her thoughts once again.


    When Sheng Liang saw her, he was slightly stunned. Then, he walked out from behind his desk, grabbed her hand and asked: "Why are you here? Weren''t you allowed to rest at home?"


    Qiao Xuan looked into his eyes, and from his gaze, he could not find any traces of concealing it. Qiao Xuan secretly calmed down, but was even more sure that there was someone who did not want her to be with him.


    "I was bored at home, so I came to see you." Qiao Xuan gently hugged him as she listened to his heartbeat. Only in this way did she feel that he was real.


    Sheng Liang paused for a moment, then looked at his watch: "Good, it''s almost noon, let''s go eat in a while, I''ll finish what I am doing first."


    Qiao Xuan immediately let go of him: "Go busy yourself, don''t worry about me."


    Just then, the female assistant came in. Sheng Liang signed on the documents she brought out and said to her: "Tell Secretary Luo to come in."


    Qiao Xuan knew that it was definitely something important, if not he could directly pass it down to the assistant. When Luo Jie came in, Qiao Xuan said: "You guys can busy yourselves, I''ll go see Nan."


    Sheng Liang nodded: "Go ahead, I''ll call for you in a while."


    The main reason why Qiao Xuan had not come to see him since Qiao Nan entered the company was because he did not want others to think that he entered through relationships. She hoped that when the people in the company confirmed Qiao Nan''s abilities, she would reveal their relationship.


    Sheng Liang''s new project progress was successful. Qiao Nan''s abilities were obvious to all and Qiao Xuan felt that it was time to announce it.


    "Nan" Qiao Xuan stood by his side, watching him discuss the plan with the two of them, and called out softly.


    When the others saw her, they respectfully greeted, "Director Qiao."


    Qiao Nan was a little surprised that Qiao Xuan would appear here, and she called him by his nickname. In the past, she always pretended to not know him.

 C118

    Qiao Xuan was already pressing his shoulder, and said to the others: "Qiao Nan is my younger brother, I will trouble you to take care of him in the future."


    Hearing her words, everyone was stunned and only then did they realize that their names were similar. They quickly replied: "Of course, Director Qiao."


    Seeing the various envious gazes from the people around him, Qiao Nan pulled Qiao Xuan to the side and whispered: "Sis, I''m a little overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of you here. This way, everyone in the company knows that their Young Master Liang is my brother-in-law, then can I walk sideways in the future?"


    Seeing him smile so much that he needed to be beaten up, Qiao Xuan glanced at him sideways, "I''m letting you know that if you don''t work hard, others will point at your back and say that you relied on your skirt''s ties to get here, even spittle will drown you."


    "I knew you weren''t so kind." Qiao Nan curled his lips, raised his eyes and saw Sheng Liang walking over, he immediately pushed Qiao Xuan away and said, "The two of you must have a date, don''t make my beloved brother-in-law wait for you, let''s go quickly."


    Two days ago, didn''t they say that the Wealthy Class water was too deep for her to escape from? Every day, they would call out to her brother-in-law, not caring about the toothache at all.


    Qiao Xuan did not bother with him anymore. He walked to Sheng Liang''s side and asked while smiling: "Are you done?"


    "Work will never end. Eating with you is the most important thing." Sheng Liang took her hand and lovingly scratched her nose.


    The two of them were too sweet that they seemed to have forgotten that they were in the office area. With so many pairs of eyes watching them, they reacted only after Qiao Nan coughed. Qiao Xuan''s face flushed red and quickly pulled Sheng Liang away.


    When they finally reached the elevator, Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, but the blush on his face had not faded.


    "Do you care what people think?" Sheng Liang turned and look at him.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I''m fine, but I don''t want others to have a bad impression of you because of this."


    Even if he was the second largest shareholder, in Sheng Family, his status was still very awkward. The more high-profile he was, the more dissatisfied Sheng Hua would be towards him, and Qiao Xuan hoped that nothing would happen to him.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, he only tightened his grip on her hand.


    There was a western restaurant across from the company, but Qiao Xuan had never come here before. He pulled Qiao Xuan inside and said to her: "I heard that their Black Pepper steak is especially good, you will definitely like it."


    "Who did you hear it from, your female assistant?" Qiao Xuan pretended to be jealous.


    Sheng Liang cooperated and laughed, "I won''t tell you."


    The two of them sat down, and the waiter quickly handed over the menu. Sheng Liang asked Qiao Xuan to order, and Qiao Xuan immediately shook his head: "I am not good at this."


    Sheng Liang could only take it over and look at it. "Let''s have an appetizer, French style grilled snails, then a steak with black pepper, then a salad with emerald vegetables, all in duplicate. There are also two cups of juices, thank you."


    After watching the servant leave, Qiao Xuan walked over and said softly, "Do you come often? It seems that you are very familiar with their dishes."


    "Aren''t Western restaurants the same." Sheng Liang lowered his head and folded the napkin.


    Qiao Xuan had only been speaking casually in the beginning, but after hearing him say that, she did not ask anymore.


    The food was served quickly and the two ate in a very quiet manner. Qiao Xuan would raise his head from time to time to look at him before lowering his head again.


    Sheng Liang''s phone suddenly rang. Qiao Xuan took a glance and saw that it was Luo Jie. Qiao Xuan heard him say that the computer was broken.


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan, then said to Luo Jie: "I need to wait for a while before I go back.


    Seeing that he had hung up, Qiao Xuan immediately said: "I''m done eating, let''s go back."


    Sheng Liang looked at the steak on her plate that had not been touched at all, and said: "It''s just a small matter, Luo Jie can take care of it, don''t worry about it."


    Qiao Xuan naturally knew about Luo Jie''s ability to do things, so she also found it strange. It was just that the computer was broken, why would Luo Jie give Sheng Liang a call?


    After dinner, they went back together. Qiao Xuan sat in his office and turned his head to look in Sheng Liang''s direction, only to see him talking to Luo Jie.


    Seeing Luo Jie going out, Qiao Xuan intended to call Sheng Liang to ask, but when the assistant came in to get her to sign, she could only put down her phone.


    After signing, the assistant did not leave, but looked at Qiao Xuan and said in a low voice: "Director Qiao, guess who I saw at the door of the chairman''s office when I went to deliver the materials just now. It was that chairman of Sweet Orange International, Liu Fan.


    Qiao Xuan was startled, he did not think that Liu Fan would return home so quickly. It was just that, after all, Sweet Orange International was a big company that had a listing, so why would its stock fall so quickly?


    Could it be that it had something to do with Senior?


    With his family''s background, wanting to destroy a company was simply too easy.


    But she hoped that was not the case. She really did not want to have anything to do with Liu Fan.


    However, things often went against his wishes. Just as he was about to get off work, the assistant didn''t knock on the door. Instead, she ran in and said urgently: "Director Qiao, quickly take a look at the company''s website!"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what had happened, but seeing that the assistant was in such a panic, she immediately opened up the company''s website, and the screen was filled with images of her and Senior hugging each other.


    She pulled it down. Here were some of their experiences in the United States, as well as a picture of their graduation.


    Qiao Xuan had not remembered since a long time ago that the person who was originally standing beside her was Senior. Right now, he was trapped in a circle and the two people in the photo who were laughing happily seemed to be related.


    "What does that mean?" Qiao Xuan looked at the assistant slowly.


    The assistant was clearly more anxious than her, "Director Qiao, didn''t you know that the news today said that Senior family had said that they would buy Golden Age, and now they have revealed the picture of you and their family''s heir.


    This point, the assistant naturally did not believe. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang were more suitable.


    Qiao Xuan sighed, he did not need to think to know that it was done by Liu Fan, from the looks of it, she had suffered a terrible loss, which was why she brought him down with her.


    Seeing that she didn''t have any reaction, the assistant asked: "Director Qiao, don''t you want to explain to the chairman that this crime is too big?"


    Qiao Xuan continued to look at the web page: "There is not a single sentence that says I betrayed the company. If I go and find the chairman to explain it, there would be no silver here."


    Even if Liu Fan wanted to frame her, he still had to have a solid proof.


    However, she was a little worried that Sheng Liang would misunderstand.


    Letting the assistant out, Qiao Xuan immediately called Sheng Liang and asked softly: "Have you seen the company''s website?"


    "I saw it. You look like you''re on camera." Sheng Liang stood up and walked to the glass wall, then looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "But what I''m more concerned about is whether you and Senior are alright or not."

 C119

    Hearing his sour tone, Qiao Xuan laughed: "What do you think?"


    " However, you still have to be mentally prepared. I''m worried that this is just the beginning. " Sheng Liang said.


    " No, "Sheng Liang immediately held onto Qiao Xuan''s hand," He''s probably... It''s time to go home. Don''t be so nervous, he''s not a child anymore. "


    " "Who is that person?" Qiao Xuan immediately asked.


    " I can''t calm down, Nan is my only brother, I can''t let anything happen to him! " Qiao Xuan shouted as he lost control.

 C120

    Qiao Xuan had seen this bald man before. In her previous life, this person had a very close relationship with Sheng Hua, but every time they went to their home, they would remain secretive. Sheng Hua had to spend all of their servants there, and she would only meet this person when she was halfway home.


    " Miss Qiao? " Xiao Feng was also stunned for a moment. Then, he said, "But I can''t leave right now. Can you get the police?"


    " "What are you doing? Let me go, I still have things to do!" Qiao Xuan shouted somewhat angrily.


    " He should have already recovered his memories long ago. Or rather, he did not lose his memories at all from the start. All of this was just his plan. " Sheng Qian carefully looked at Qiao Xuan''s reaction. "The time he went to the hotel with you was obviously because he wanted to meet Qi Luo and not be discovered by you."


    " "Also, I''ve checked with someone. Your personal data has been placed in detail on the public platform. That''s why you''ve been targeted by the search company. And the IP address of the company that posted this information is the location of his villa." Sheng Qian sighed, "I was almost tricked by him, and I thought he was really nice to you, it turns out he was just ¡­"


    " You can''t give the evidence to the police, it would be easy to convict Sheng Hua, but you were in danger even if that drug dealer didn''t fall into their trap for a day. Why do you think Sheng Liang didn''t give this evidence to the court when there was such a good opportunity last time? Sheng Qian said indignantly.

 C121

    "I''m leaving. Call me if you need anything." The more it was at a time like this, the more Sheng Qian didn''t want her to think that he was taking advantage of her.


    Seeing that she still did not react, Sheng Qian turned around and walked out. Then, he heard Qiao Xuan''s soft voice asking, "Xiao Nan will be fine, right?"


    Even though he had been using her from the beginning, Qiao Xuan still believed that Sheng Liang was different from him.


    Let''s hope so, Sheng Qian did not want to pour any more cold water on her, he nodded and said: "I will send people to look, hopefully they will be able to find it."


    After Sheng Qian left, Qiao Xuan sat on the sofa for a while before her phone suddenly rang. She saw Xiao Feng''s name on the screen and for a long time, she did not pick up.


    Before confirming Qiao Nan''s safety, she didn''t dare to casually make her decision. However, if she didn''t follow Sheng Liang''s plan, what if he was really in danger?


    Qiao Xuan thought for a while, then took Sheng Qian''s notebook and opened it. She transferred all the content in the USB drive, other than the video on the video, and sent the illegal record of Sheng Hua to the managers of the various departments through the company''s website.


    When Sheng Tianhao went to work tomorrow morning, everyone in the company would know about this matter and the board of directors would also be involved. If Sheng Tianhao wanted to defend Sheng Hua now, it would not be so easy.


    However, she had used her own account to post this document. In the future, she wouldn''t be able to stay in Golden Age.


    Two evils, this was already the best result.


    Moreover, it was already impossible for her to meet Sheng Liang. If they met again, it would only make her sad.


    That night, Qiao Xuan almost did not close her eyes. Sheng Liang had called her a lot of times, she only watched the screen light up and then dim down, but she did not move an inch.


    The servants were already asleep, and the house was as quiet as it had been before the storm.


    Tomorrow''s Golden Age Group would definitely experience an unprecedented rainstorm.


    She would wait and see.


    The next day, early in the morning, Sheng Qian arrived. He looked somewhat anxious, and asked Qiao Xuan the moment he saw him: "Why aren''t you answering my call?"


    Qiao Xuan looked at the phone beside him and said: "There''s no power, I turned off my phone."


    Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Sheng Qian anxiously asked: "Did you send those things? Are you crazy? Even if you can topple Sheng Hua, what benefits do you get? The only one who can take advantage of you is Sheng Liang!"


    "I only want Sheng Hua to go to jail, I don''t care about anything else." Qiao Xuan still took her time. Only she knew that she was not without benefits, at least without Sheng Hua, the tragedy of her previous life would not happen again.


    Her eyes looked indifferent, but it was also filled with perseverance and certainty. Sheng Qian was dazed for a moment, and then said softly: "Are you already prepared to leave Golden Age?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded his head: "Not only will I leave Golden Age, perhaps I will also leave the Sang City. The world is so big, there will definitely be a place for me to stay."


    It was just that before she left, she still wanted to see Sheng Liang again.


    She didn''t let Sheng Qian drive her there. Instead, she took a taxi to the company. When she arrived at the entrance, she saw the Public Prosecutor''s Office and the Business Bureau''s cars parked outside.


    She walked in slowly. The company was indeed in a mess. Even the people at the front desk were busy checking things out.


    The board of directors was currently holding an emergency meeting, with all the section directors and above participating, so when Qiao Xuan went to Sheng Liang''s office, he was not there.


    When Luo Jie saw Qiao Xuan, he was startled for a moment. Then, he asked: "Miss Qiao, where did you go last night?


    Qiao Xuan did not answer, but said to Luo Jie: "Please tell Xiao Nan, I will wait for him in the house I used to rent, no matter how late it is, I will wait for him."


    Luo Jie was speechless for a moment, and stared blankly at Qiao Xuan for a long time, until she left.


    The moment Qiao Xuan walked out of Sheng Liang''s office, when she raised her head and saw Sheng Liang walking toward her, she unconsciously stopped in her tracks.


    Since she didn''t answer his call last night, Sheng Liang knew that she had already known everything. Thus, when he saw her, he didn''t pretend to be close to her anymore.


    The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. After a long while, Qiao Xuan could not help but ask: "Did you not lose your memories from the start?"


    "No," Sheng Liang also bluntly replied, "I only remembered it later on, take me to get my hair cut back then."


    Qiao Xuan smiled in relief. At least some of what he had said back then was true.


    "Sheng Hua won''t be able to escape so easily this time right? You finally got what you wanted, congratulations." Qiao Xuan could even hear the sound of her heart breaking a little, but she still forced a smile as she spoke.


    "Thank you." Sheng Liang looked at her as he removed his pretense. His eyes still showed incomparable indifference.


    Qiao Xuan did not speak further, as he brushed past her shoulders. His aura was unique, as though it was still wrapped around her nose.


    In the past few months, they had been together everyday, accompanying each other day by day. Everything he did for her, everything he had said, Qiao Xuan remembered them vividly, but all of a sudden, everything that he had done vanished.


    However, Qiao Xuan didn''t want to be like the other women who were lost in love and argue hysterically, she felt that it was meaningless.


    When they had come to an agreement, they had already agreed that they would use each other to their advantage.


    She had been caught up in those sweet nothings and had long forgotten her own situation. Now that things had turned out like this, she could only blame herself for taking advantage of the situation.


    "Qiao Xuan," Sheng Liang suddenly called out to her from behind, "I owe you one. If you need my help, I will definitely not shirk my duties."


    When she said that he owed her, Qiao Xuan instantly burst into tears, but she did not want Sheng Liang to see it. She only turned her back and nodded at him.


    "Young Master Liang," Qiao Xuan finally asked after hesitating for a while, "Why did you choose me when Qi Luo and I were kidnapped?"


    "Only then will little Luo be safe." Sheng Liang said without hesitation.


    Originally, Qiao Xuan had thought about it a little, but when he said it like that, she knew that she was too childish.


    After exiting the office, Qiao Xuan could no longer hold it in and followed along the wall to squat on the ground. Although he bit his lips, he still cried out loud.


    In the past, she was a workaholic who did not know about life, nor did she know about romance, much less fall in love with someone. Even though she had married Sheng Hua in her previous life, she could distinguish everything clearly like a partner.


    It was Sheng Liang who taught her how to be a little girl. She didn''t have to be so strong and could cry in a person''s arms when she was weak.


    Gradually she sank deeper and deeper, willing to do anything for him, willing to do anything for love.


    But it turned out that this was not love.


    It was just wishful thinking on her part.


    However, she still didn''t want to resent anyone. Life was like this, growing up was always going to come at a price.


    She slowly stood up and looked at the tall buildings in front of her. There were so many cars and horses. In such a big city like this, she suddenly became homeless.


    "Sis." a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind him.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly turned her head, and saw Qiao Nan standing there, her tears once again gushing out.

 C122

    Even if she had nothing left, at least she still had her family.


    Qiao Xuan quickly wiped away his tears and walked over, laughing as he pulled Qiao Nan back: "It''s good that you''re fine, let''s go home."


    Qiao Nan already knew everything, he looked at Qiao Xuan''s forced smile in heartache, but he didn''t have the heart to expose it, he only said: "It''s just nice, I''ve already brought my parents back, they''re all waiting for you at home."


    Actually, Qiao Xuan really wanted to ask Qiao Nan what he had experienced in the past two days, but she didn''t have the courage to say it out loud. She was afraid that if she heard Sheng Liang''s name again, she wouldn''t even be able to remain as strong as she was right now.


    When he returned to their original home on the Garden Road, he smelt the familiar scent of food from outside the door. It was only then that Qiao Xuan realised, even in her previous life, it had been a long time since she had eaten at home.


    Qiao Nan took out the key to open the door, and as usual, he called out to Qiao Xuan: "Dad, Mom, I brought Big Sis back!"


    "Why are you shouting so much when you''re back home?" Qiao¡¯s father glared at Qiao Nan.


    Qiao¡¯s mother placed the dishes on the table, then looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "Hua''er, quickly come in and help me. Your father is very clumsy."


    "How am I clumsy? I didn''t do anything to help you after busying myself for so long." Qiao¡¯s father looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Your mother discriminates against me."


    How long had it been since she last heard such a common complaint about her parents? Since childhood, she and Qiao Nan had always watched their parents argue like this, but never left each other''s side.


    This was probably the love between parents. It wasn''t that fierce, but it had more life, plain yet real.


    Qiao Xuan helped his mother to bring the food over to the table, and the whole family sat around the table to eat. Although it was noisy, the atmosphere was especially harmonious.


    It was as if they had all agreed beforehand, no one mentioned Sheng Liang, nor did they ask him about his work.


    Qiao Xuan understood that none of them wanted to make her sad.


    After dinner, they all went to do their own stuff. Qiao Xuan sat in front of the desk and stared at it blankly for a long time before slowly turning on the computer.


    News from the internet has spread, and shares in Golden Age have been falling. There are even rumours that the board will reopen discussions about who will be the chairman of the board.


    Even if Sheng Hua''s matter might affect Golden Age''s reputation and reputation, it was not enough to shake the foundations.


    But what surprised Qiao Xuan was that she could not enter the internal website. She tried several times, and each time a notification popped up that she did not belong to one of Golden Age''s employees.


    Even if she had resigned, she wouldn''t have been able to update the personnel information so quickly, let alone in a situation where the company was in chaos.


    Just as she was confused, Qiao Nan knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing her open up a web page, he placed a cup of juice on her table and said: "There''s no need to look anymore, you have already been removed from the company''s list, and have also been blacklisted on the human resources platform. Any company that is slightly larger than yourself might not be able to use you."


    Qiao Xuan laughed bitterly: "What they did was too extreme."


    "When you posted that evidence on the company''s website, you should have known that it would end like this. If Sheng Hua was captured, how could Sheng Tianhao let you go?" Qiao Nan lowered his head and rotated the cup in his hand, "Sis, you''re really too stupid. Actually, you know very well that Sheng Liang won''t do anything to me."


    Even if she knew, she still didn''t dare to take the risk. Her family was the meaning of her rebirth, and nothing could compare to her.


    She pressed down Qiao Nan''s hands and said: "It''s alright, this world is so vast, there is always a place for me. The most important thing is that you and your parents are by my side."


    Qiao Nan looked up at her, and then asked after a long while: "Can you forget about Sheng Liang?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "No, why should I forget? At least, for a period of time, I was really happy."


    As for the result, she had already predicted it many times. Although it was a little off from her expectations, it was more or less the same.


    Sheng Liang left her and went with Qi Luo.


    It could also be considered as returning to its original owner.


    How could she think this way? Qiao Nan more or less calmed down, and then suddenly said excitedly: "Right, Sis, let''s go to Germany. Isn''t that MBA student of yours the heir to the Senior family?


    " I never thought of going abroad, not yet. "


    Qiao Nan appeared out of nowhere and handed a name card to her: "This guy said he had looked for you, so he told me to bring his words to him no matter what. He said that the company he had previously agreed on didn''t mind your blacklist.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the name on the name card: Xiao Shen.


    "How did you meet him?" Qiao Xuan casually asked.


    "You lost your job, so I can''t stay in Golden Age anymore. I sent in a few resumes. I went for an interview yesterday and met you." Qiao Nan spoke calmly, seeing that Qiao Xuan was indifferent, he went over and asked, "What''s wrong, is there a problem with this person?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "It''s not that there''s a problem with this person, but the media company he mentioned called Fei Lengcui. That company is located opposite Golden Age, but I have never heard of any rumors regarding that company. When Xiao Shen came to me, he didn''t even say who the chairman of that company was. It was so mysterious. Who knows if it was just an empty shell company. "


    The color in Qiao Nan''s eyes turned slightly, and he said: "Not necessarily. As a new company, you have to keep it a little mysterious. What position do they give you, and how much is your annual salary?"


    "CEO, annual salary is 5 million." Qiao Xuan stood up and walked to the side, "If it was really a large company with over a billion registered funds, do you think I would be qualified to obtain this position?"


    Qiao Nan immediately said: "Of course! "Sis, with your working ability and experience in Golden Age, the other companies have been eyeing you covetously. It''s just that you don''t know it yourself."

 C123

    Really? It seems like Liu Fan had also said something before, that she was very well-known in the industry. Because she had never thought of job-hopping, she didn''t care about it.


    She had always felt that those who tried to poach her had ulterior motives. It was likely that she was overthinking it.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and looked at the name card again. Even though she did not like taking risks, she had no other choice.


    When he called Xiao Shen, the other party was clearly not surprised at all. He only smiled and said, "When the Miss Qiao is free, let''s find a place to talk. There are many details that cannot be explained over the phone."


    Qiao Xuan replied, allowing the other party to choose a time and place.


    After hanging up, she looked out the window. It was already late autumn. The small forest in the residential complex had become desolate, with bare branches and sparse birds. The entire square was empty.


    His parents were watching TV in the living room, talking everyday, but no one was blushing, so his father had to accompany her to watch a life play, and then he would doze off while his mother laughed and cried.


    Qiao Xuan watched on silently, not knowing when, but tears were streaming down his face.


    The love she desired should be like this.


    The next day, she changed her clothes and put on a light makeup, ready to go meet with Xiao Shen.


    When she left the residential area, she was waiting for the car by the side of the road. She inadvertently turned her head and saw Luo Jie talking to the people in the car, and when she looked over, Luo Jie immediately let the car drive away.


    Sheng Liang would not send people to spy on her, right?


    Qiao Xuan walked towards Luo Jie, he did not care how looked away, he still asked: "Why are you here?"


    Luo Jie forced himself to pretend that he had just seen her, and laughed: "Miss Qiao, it''s such a coincidence, I came to find a friend, do you live here?"


    Knowing that he was lying, Qiao Xuan did not answer and just happened to find a taxi beside her. She opened the car door and got in, then said to Luo Jie: "Tell Sheng Liang, I have nothing to do with the past, and will definitely not reveal his situation to anyone else."


    Seeing that she had left in a car, Luo Jie heaved a long sigh of relief.


    Returning back to the company, Luo Jie knocked on the door and entered Sheng Liang''s office, then said to Sheng Liang who was looking down and reading the documents: "I was discovered by Miss Qiao just now."


    "And then?" Sheng Liang did not raise his head as he asked solemnly.


    "She told me to tell you not to worry about her revealing you." Luo Jie sighed, "Young Master Liang, in fact, we should tell Miss Qiao the truth, she has the right to choose."


    Sheng Liang did not speak, he was busy with his own matters, as if he did not hear Luo Jie''s words.


    Luo Jie knew that he shouldn''t bother with these matters. There had to be a reason behind Sheng Liang''s decision.


    After hearing Luo Jie close the door and leave, Sheng Liang stopped the hand that was holding the pen, and turned his head to look in the direction of Qiao Xuan''s original office.


    There was a change, the new treasurer, a very shrewd woman.


    The woman looked up and saw him too, then winked at him, seductively.


    Her name was Chen Lina, and she was the lover of Director Liu of the company.


    "Young Master Liang, are you free to go off duty today? I want to invite you to a meal. I''ve just arrived, there are a lot of things I want to ask you for."


    Sheng Liang looked at her through the glass wall and said lightly: "Alright, 8 PM at the Arthur Hotel, I will book a room and send you a message."


    Chen Lina immediately burst into laughter. "Then I''ll see you tonight."


    Sheng Liang hung up and opened the drawer, looking at the two concert tickets inside, he was silent for a long time.


    It was originally planned to go with Qiao Xuan this weekend.


    Now it was useless. He took it out and threw it into the trash can without even looking at it.


    In the coffee shop on Yu Xiu Road, Qiao Hua wore a white blouse, a royal blue windbreaker, and a beige scarf. On her feet was a pair of high boots with black sand grinding, and her wine-colored curls and shawl accentuated the whiteness of her skin.


    The moment Qiao Xuan appeared, he immediately attracted many people''s attention. Xiao Shen hurriedly stood up and waved at her: "Miss Qiao, over here."


    Qiao Xuan walked over, took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair, then said indifferently: "Sorry, I came late."


    "Being late is a beauty''s specialty." Xiao Shen smiled, waved for the servant to come over, and asked Qiao Xuan, "Miss Qiao, are you drinking Blue Mountain, right?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded her head. She was not the least bit surprised that Xiao Shen knew of it. A professional hunter like him must have definitely investigated her before coming into contact with her.


    After the coffee was served, Xiao Shen made a "please" gesture and slowly said, "The other company is very sincere. The employees of the other company are all hired by me. They don''t have any candidates for the position of CEO, they only have their eyes on Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Xuan smiled lightly: "Thank you for thinking so highly of their company. I hope that I can live up to their expectations."


    "Of course, we have a clear view of the Miss Qiao''s abilities." Xiao Shen took out a document from his bag and said, "This is their job responsibility and salary. If the Miss Qiao has no objections, we can sign it."


    Qiao Xuan was surprised: "Isn''t the person in charge of the other company supposed to be here?"


    "Their chairman has already entrusted all his authority to me. Miss Qiao, don''t worry, this is under the protection of the law." Xiao Shen handed the pen over to Qiao Xuan.


    Although Qiao Xuan had some questions in her heart, but just with regards to this contract, there shouldn''t be any problems. She hesitated for a moment, but still, she signed her name on the contract.


    Seeing that she had finished signing the contract, Xiao Shen heaved a sigh of relief and laughed, "Miss Qiao has let me create another industry legend. Thank you for your trust, and they will arrange for someone to introduce the following job selection process to Miss Qiao. My job is completed."


    When she officially entered the job, she would probably meet the mysterious Sir chairman, Qiao Xuan could not wait any longer.


    After separating with Xiao Shen, Qiao Xuan ate something outside before going to the shopping mall to kill time. He didn''t want to return so early to disturb his parents'' world of people.


    She was looking at a set of clothes and felt that someone was standing in front of her. When she raised her head, she actually saw that it was Luo Keke.


    The two of them sat in the resting area of the mall. Luo Keke first asked: "How have you been recently?"


    "It''s pretty good. What about you?" Although she would inevitably think of Sheng Liang when she met him, no matter what the outcome was between her and Sheng Liang, it had nothing to do with Luo Keke.


    Luo Keke laughed, took a sip of the drink, and said slowly: The work of a doctor is very boring, every day facing death, I am afraid that one day my heart will be numb, but I am also unable to give up.


    They chatted for a long time, but Luo Keke didn''t bring up Sheng Liang''s topic at all. However, she suddenly stopped talking as she spoke. Qiao Xuan followed her gaze and saw that Sheng Liang was holding a girl''s hand as he looked at a pair of crystal cups.

 C124

    Although their backs were facing her, Qiao Xuan could still recognize that the girl was Qi Luo.


    Separated by a distance, Qiao Xuan''s gaze froze. It was as if those two were the only ones left in her eyes, and looking at Sheng Liang holding Qi Luo''s hand so carefully, his smile was something she had only seen twice when he pretended to lose his memories.


    She thought that things that were precious to her were things that could be easily obtained by others.


    Qiao Xuan was at a loss for words. She wasn''t ready yet, so how could she face Sheng Liang and his partner who seemed to be a couple appear in front of her?


    Fortunately, they didn''t notice her, and after buying the crystal glass, they moved to the other side.


    Luo Keke saw that although Qiao Xuan was relieved, there was a little loneliness on his face. He said lightly: "Actually, there''s something I haven''t mentioned to anyone, including A''Liang, but it''s in my heart, and I don''t know what to do. Qiao Xuan, can you promise me that you won''t tell anyone about this?"


    Seeing her serious expression, Qiao Xuan knew that she had something important to say, and she mentioned Sheng Liang on purpose. It should be related to him, so he nodded and said: "What is it, tell me."


    "It was just like when A''Liang was injured and he was injected with too much insulin. After he was sent to the hospital, didn''t he draw his blood for testing? Then I noticed that there was something wrong with his blood type." Luo Keke turned the cup and said, "His mother ¡­ I used to take care of her, so I know that she is type O blood, but Chairman Sheng is type A, how could Aaliang be type AB? "I thought I remembered wrongly, so I investigated his mother''s case and the information on Chairman Sheng on the internet. In the end ¡­"


    Seeing Luo Keke frown, Qiao Xuan already knew the result. "So, this is the reason why Chairman Sheng doesn''t like Sheng Liang?"


    Was it only because of the pressure from the public that he was allowed to stay in the Sheng Family?


    But Qiao Xuan still felt that this reason was not valid. If it was really that way, Sheng Tianhao would completely not need to cultivate Sheng Liang to become so outstanding, and even let him enter the company to get such a position.


    Furthermore, Sheng Tianhao had reprimanded the business world for so many years, would he really not be able to see through Sheng Liang''s hidden motives? How could he still allow Sheng Liang to send him to jail step by step, yet he did not have any intentions of stopping him?


    However, all of these were just Qiao Xuan''s deductions. The truth of the matter was unclear to them, other than Sheng Tianhao himself.


    After separating with Luo Keke, Qiao Xuan got on a taxi to head home. Just as she got in the car, her phone rang, she looked at the screen of her phone. The number was not familiar, but she knew that it was Golden Age''s office number.


    "Miss Qiao, I am Chairman Sheng''s secretary. Is it convenient for you? The Chairman would like to meet with you."


    On the other end of the phone was a very professional voice.


    She and Luo Keke had just talked about Sheng Liang''s blood type problem. Sheng Tianhao was looking for her at this moment, was this a coincidence?


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know.


    But she still had to go to Sheng Tianhao''s invitation. When she left Golden Age, she still had to bid farewell to him.


    It had only been a few days since Sheng Hua was taken away by the police, and the company had already returned to normal.


    Just that, when Qiao Xuan passed by the front desk and wanted to enter the elevator, he was stopped by two front desk staff members: "This lady, may I ask who you are looking for?"


    Qiao Xuan glanced at them, "Don''t you know who I am?" They started pretending they didn''t know her before she left the company?


    One of them gave a disdainful smile and said with a hint of strangeness, "We don''t know the traitor that sold out the company. Who knows if you are going to steal the information inside."


    Qiao Xuan had always been too lazy to bother with these kinds of people, but since they were standing in front of her, she could not force her way in.


    "Chairman?" They laughed mockingly, "The chairman only blacklisted you, it would be good if the whole industry didn''t ban you. You sent the eldest young master to prison, who in the Sheng Family can spare you, who still dared to come, is it because you think the third young master will protect you?"


    He did not know whether they were Sheng Hua''s admirers or not, or else they would not have said such harsh words. However, there was a fact that they were right, Sheng Liang would not protect her like before.


    Qiao Xuan was secretly hurt for a bit, then he took out his phone, preparing to call back the number just now.


    However, before she could make a call, the two women in front of her pushed her away, "Call me and go out to make a call. Do you think this is a shopping mall?!"


    Qiao Xuan was not prepared. His hand loosened and the phone dropped to the ground, causing the screen to dim.


    Qiao Xuan looked at them, the skinnier girl felt guilty, and quietly retreated a few steps, but the fat girl still had a haughty look, "Serves you right!"


    Qiao Xuan frowned, there was suppressed anger in his tone: "Pick up my phone."


    "You dropped it by accident, and it wasn''t my fault." The fat girl snorted and turned around to return to the front desk, yelling, "Hurry up and leave, otherwise we''ll call the security to chase them away."


    Qiao Xuan reached out and grabbed her, "Pick up my phone and compensate me for my losses."


    The fat girl was obviously angry from the embarrassment, she flung Qiao Xuan''s hand away and fiercely pushed her away: "Do you think you''re still Sheng Family''s Young Mistress?! If you leave this place, you wouldn''t even be considered a fart!"


    Fortunately, someone was supporting her from the side. Then, she heard a pleasant voice say coldly: "What will happen if she leaves this place, it''s not something you should worry about. But from now on, you, and you, are no longer Golden Age people.


    From the moment the two girls saw Sheng Qian supporting Qiao Xuan, they knew that the situation wasn''t good. When they heard his words, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.


    However, they didn''t even have the chance to plead before they were pulled away by the security guards.


    Sheng Qian bent over and picked up Qiao Xuan''s phone, then said: "Looks like it broke, I''ll buy a new one for you."


    Qiao Xuan took it from his hands, and looked at the broken screen, and sighed secretly.


    Sheng Liang had bought this phone for her, and now that it was broken like this, she really did not have any fate with him anymore.


    "No need, I''ll just buy it myself." Qiao Xuan placed the broken phone back into his pocket, then looked at Sheng Qian and said, "You''re quite hardworking right now, you seem to be the heir."


    "Are you mocking me?" Sheng Qian frowned, looked at her smiling face, laughed, and then asked, "Why are you here, looking for Sheng Liang?"


    Sheng Qian''s tone was cautious, he still remembered the day Qiao Xuan heard that everything was meticulously planned out by Sheng Liang.

 C125

    Qiao Xuan''s smile immediately froze, and after a long while he said: "It''s the chairman looking for me."


    "My dad?" Sheng Qian was a little surprised, "Why is he looking for you?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, she was actually very curious, even back at the company, they were only discussing business, there should be nothing else to discuss, right?


    Or perhaps he felt that it was too easy for her to be blacklisted, and now he regretted it?


    Qiao Xuan only thought of this for an instant, as she knew that Sheng Tianhao would not be so bored.


    "It just so happens that I have something to talk to my dad about, so I''ll go up with you." Sheng Qian laughed and said, as he followed Qiao Xuan into the elevator.


    He was clearly going out to look for Sheng Tianhao just now, and was even saying that he was going to look for her now, so Qiao Xuan understood in her heart. Sheng Qian was afraid that she would go up alone and encounter the incident just now.


    On the contrary, Sheng Qian was stunned for a moment before reacting, and also said lightly: "You''re welcome."


    There were only the two of them in the elevator, Sheng Qian quietly turned to look at Qiao Xuan, only to see her looking elsewhere, an indifferent expression on her face.


    She only had a single turn away from him.


    Today, she was wearing a ginger overcoat and a pink-white scarf. Perhaps it was due to the pressure of space that a blush appeared on her white face, causing her to feel a bit young.


    Sheng Qian had originally only taken a glance, but his gaze was deeply attracted by her and he did not retract it even after a long time.


    Even if Qiao Xuan was slow, she could still feel it. Her face became hotter, and after a long while, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Qian: "You ¡­. What''s the matter? "


    Sheng Qian realized that he had never been so absent-minded to a woman before. He knew that this was not scientific, and Qiao Xuan should not be his type. However, he had been paying attention to her for some reason recently, and wanted to get close to her.


    Furthermore, she was now separated from Sheng Liang, he did not hide his intentions at all. He supported her with his arm, trapping her in a small space and said: "I think, I''m beginning to like you."


    There were too many times where he had said those words to her, but the reality was that he was just speaking. Qiao Xuan would never believe it, so she extended her hand out, wanting to pull down the arm that was imprisoning her: "If you lie too many times, you will believe it."


    However, Sheng Qian''s arm didn''t move at all, and instead shrank the space surrounding her even more. He lowered his head and looked at her: "I''m not joking with you this time, Qiao Xuan, I really like you."


    Sheng Qian''s voice was originally as sweet as red wine, but now that he was so close and his breath was in her ears, it became even more bewitching. Qiao Xuan swallowed hard and said softly: "Then you''re too late.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t really know how to beat around the bush. She had said it very straightforwardly, but regarding Sheng Liang, she felt that there was no need to hide anything from him.


    Sheng Qian slowly lowered his arm, and his eyes looked as if he was slightly injured, but he still smiled and said: "It''s alright, I have plenty of time. Chase him out of your heart."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say something, but seeing that Sheng Qian was already standing and did not look at her, her lips moved slightly, but she did not say anything.


    Reaching the door of Sheng Tianhao''s office, Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "You can go in first, I''ll wait here for a while."


    She took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked the door. Hearing the sound of voices from inside, she pushed open the door and walked in, then turned to Sheng Tianhao who had been busy with his work: "Chairman, were you looking for me?"


    Sheng Tianhao did not raise his head, he only said: "Sit."


    Then an assistant brought in a cup of coffee. It was Blue Mountain.


    Qiao Xuan lowered his head to look at the spiralling fragrance, and laughed: "Since when have you been so concerned about such a small matter?"


    Especially to someone like her, who no longer had any value, there was no need to be so careful.


    Sheng Tianhao finally raised his head and looked at her. It was as if he had thought about it for a moment before he finally understood her meaning, and said: "I haven''t studied coffee, and am the new little assistant. She probably neglected my guest, so she has to understand his taste in advance."


    Regardless if it was true or false, for Sheng Tianhao to reply in such a serious manner still made Qiao Xuan a little surprised. She then asked again: "Chairman, what do you want to talk to me about?"


    "You just met Luo Keke, what did you talk about?" Sheng Tianhao absent-mindedly asked as he buried his head in processing the documents.


    But her words caused Qiao Xuan to be shocked, as expected, Sheng Tianhao had people investigate her.


    Qiao Xuan thought for a while, then said: "The chairman knew what we were talking about, that''s why he allowed me to come, right?"


    Her previous guesses, were a secret that only Sheng Tianhao knew. Actually, Qiao Xuan should have asked him, but he definitely would not have told her.


    Sheng Tianhao slightly stopped, looked at Qiao Xuan, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said: "There are some things, just listen, and don''t take it too seriously."


    He spoke very discreetly, but Qiao Xuan also understood that it was related to Sheng Liang. If he knew that Sheng Liang did not match up to his blood type, how could he still be so calm, what could it mean?


    So her guess might be right, Sheng Tianhao did not like Sheng Liang, maybe he had some sort of intention.


    "Sheng Liang''s mother!"


    "Shut up!" Before Qiao Xuan could finish, Sheng Tianhao suddenly cut him off, and it was clear that he was angry, but he seemed to have realised that his reaction was too intense, and said gently: "Let you come, I just want to tell you, do not believe those rumors, the truth is not so bad."


    Seeing his reaction, Qiao Xuan was somewhat surprised. Seems like, Sheng Liang''s life was indeed not as simple as it looked on the surface.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not say anything, Sheng Tianhao said: "I heard that you are entering a new company now, losing such an outstanding chief financial officer is Golden Age''s loss, but to you, it might be a good thing."


    Qiao Xuan kept having the feeling that Sheng Tianhao''s tone and expression had some sort of hidden meaning, but when she gave him an inquiring look, he quickly shifted his gaze away.


    When leaving the room, Sheng Tianhao said to Qiao Xuan: "No matter how much you know about Sheng Liang, I hope that you won''t mention it to anyone."


    As expected, this was the reason why he wanted to see her, but even if he did not say anything, Qiao Xuan would not tell anyone else.


    But how much did Sheng Liang know?


    Outside Sheng Tianhao''s office, Sheng Qian was still waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he immediately went over and greeted her: "What did my father say to you?"


    "Nothing. Congratulations on finding a new job." Qiao Xuan absent-mindedly walked a few steps before she turned and looked at him, saying, "Didn''t you also have business with the Chairman?"


    Sheng Qian laughed: "Why expose me, I just want to stay with you for a little longer."

    When the two of them entered the elevator, Sheng Qian looked at his watch and said to Qiao Xuan: "I''ll send you off, then we''ll meet for dinner."


    "No need, you''re so busy. I''ll just take a taxi." Qiao Xuan pressed on the button on the floor.


    Sheng Qian extended his arm and pressed his finger on the ground floor. Then, he twisted his body and leaned against the wall with his back against the button. He smiled and said, "I normally do not give invitations to others, so you have to give me this face."


    Qiao Xuan glanced at him helplessly. "Usually, those women take the initiative to ask you out, right?"


    "Don''t bring up the matter of how arrogant he is as a young person. The person standing in front of you is a brand-new Sheng Qian who swears that he will return as a prodigal son." Sheng Qian''s face was full of confidence.


    It was difficult for Qiao Xuan to hide his disbelief as he said softly, "Let''s just wait until it is done before talking."


    People like her who didn''t like listening to gossip knew that his reputation as a fourth young master was out there. Every few days, he would change girlfriends, and those one-night stand models and female celebrities were even more numerous.


    "Are you going to be my girlfriend if I can?" Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was speechless, but he was forced to look away. After a moment of silence, he said: "These are two different things."


    Sheng Qian actually didn''t say anything, and just leaned on her, and watched her until the elevator door opened with a clang. He moved to the side a little, allowing Qiao Xuan to go first.


    After getting on the car, just as Sheng Qian was about to ask Qiao Xuan where he wanted to go for dinner, his phone rang. Seeing that it was his driver''s number, he pressed speaker on it and drove out.


    "Young Master Qian, I heard that Chen Lina in the elevator just now. The Young Master Liang has arranged for her to go to the Arthur Hotel at 8 PM."


    After Sheng Qian heard this, he immediately looked at Qiao Xuan''s face, but she had obviously heard it, so he did not turn off the speaker, and directly asked: "Which Chen Lina?"


    "She is the chief financial officer who replaced Miss Qiao," the driver said in a low voice. "It is said that she is the lover of Director Li, but I never expected that she would get into contact with Young Master Liang the moment she was promoted to this position."


    Sheng Qian was afraid that Qiao Xuan would feel sad upon hearing what the driver had said, he immediately said, "I know, you are not allowed to tell this to anyone else. If anything else, just wait for death."


    Without even listening to the driver''s response, Sheng Qian had already hung up the phone and carefully looked at Qiao Xuan: "That Chen something, could it be just bragging?"


    "You don''t need to explain him. What happened to him has nothing to do with me." Qiao Xuan said quietly.


    Although she couldn''t keep her heart calm, at least she was able to control her emotions and make them less obvious.


    Sheng Qian knew that she was just saying things from the bottom of her heart, but he did not expose her.


    Qiao Xuan looked at it absent-mindedly: "Anything is fine."


    Sheng Qian curled his lips, got out of the car, and walked over to open the door for Qiao Xuan. After that, he let the doorman go park the car, he and Qiao Xuan walked inside, and a waiter immediately welcomed them: "May I know how many of you there are?"


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "It''s just the two of us, I''ll have to trouble you to help us find a smaller room."


    The waiter hurriedly said apologetically, "Excuse me, sir. All of our rooms have guests, or have already been booked out. Can we have the main hall?"


    "Then forget it, let''s go to another place." Sheng Qian said as he walked out.


    Qiao Xuan pulled his arm: "It''s just a meal, it''s the same everywhere, let''s just stay here."


    Seeing that Sheng Qian did not object, the waiter brought them to a table close to the window and brought out a menu for them to order.


    Qiao Xuan could have arranged it for him, she looked outside through the window.


    It was already late autumn, and the sky was getting darker. From here, one could see that the streets outside were already brightly lit.


    What was Sheng Liang doing now, was she preparing to meet Chen Lina?


    Although she said that she did not care, but she could not help but guess in her heart, she did not understand, how Sheng Liang loved Qi Luo so much, why did he want to get a room with another woman after dating her?


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was still frowning, Sheng Qian more or less knew what she was thinking. He did not disturb her, and only looked at the time, and waited for the dishes to arrive, and then said to her: "Quickly, eat.


    Qiao Xuan turned to look at him, confused. "What is it?"


    "I''m buying your phone, how else can I contact you?" Sheng Qian said with a smile.


    "I said there''s no need for that-" Qiao Xuan stopped talking after saying that, because she saw that the person who was walking in from the entrance of the dining hall, was actually Sheng Liang.


    Why was he here, and she knew the person who had come with him. It was Maureen.


    Sheng Qian saw Qiao Xuan not saying a word and followed her gaze. Seeing Sheng Liang and a man walking into a private room, he could not help but ask, "Who is that person?"


    Qiao Xuan regained her senses, lowered her head and avoided his gaze: "No, I don''t."


    Knowing that Qiao Xuan was lying, Sheng Qian didn''t say anything. He only told her to eat more, and turned to look at the entrance of the private box that Sheng Liang had just entered. His slender eyes slightly narrowed, and revealed a hint of danger.


    From the moment Sheng Liang appeared, Qiao Xuan''s heart had been beating wildly and he simply could not calm down.


    After dinner, Sheng Qian bought the food and they left the room together, but Qiao Xuan was still uneasy. Seeing the doorman drive over to stop beside them, she immediately said to Sheng Qian: "You can leave first, don''t worry about me, I''ll take a taxi back first."


    "Qiao Xuan..." In his heart, Sheng Qian knew what she wanted to do, but before he could say anything, Qiao Xuan had already opened the door for him, signalling him to get on the carriage.


    Originally, he just wanted to drive the car to the side first, without affecting the car behind, and then explain everything to Qiao Xuan, telling her not to do anything, but by the time he had parked the car, he could no longer see Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan returned to the dining hall and went to Sheng Liang and the others'' private room. Knocking on the door, she entered only to see that there was no one inside, so she hurriedly asked the servants who came to clean up, only then did she know that they had left through the back door.


    She immediately chased after him, just in time to see Sheng Liang''s car leaving. At that time, she didn''t have any other thoughts, she only wanted to speak to Sheng Liang face to face, so she quickly hailed a taxi and followed Sheng Liang.


    "She''s coming." Mo Lin looked at the car behind him and said.


    Sheng Liang did not turn around to look, but said: "Leave me outside the hotel later, you guys can go back."


    Luo Jie looked at him from the rearview mirror. "Just now, with that one glance, would Young Master Qian really go and check on him?"


    "He will." Sheng Liang''s eyes looked outside, at the rearview mirror, the car that was right behind him said, "I might be late."

 C127

    Luo Jie also looked behind and smiled: "Understood."


    Outside Arthur Hotel, Luo Jie stopped the car. After Sheng Liang got off the car, he drove away.


    Qiao Xuan watched as Sheng Liang entered, then got off the car and followed him in, but he did not see him.


    "Do you have a reservation?" the hotel staff came up and asked.


    Qiao Xuan panicked a little and stuttered: "I was following ¡­ "Just now, that mister ¡­"


    The receptionist immediately said, "You must be Miss Chen. Please follow me."


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment before realizing that she treated herself as Chen Lina. She did not explain and followed her into the elevator.


    After reaching the 12th floor, the elevator door opened. Qiao Xuan followed the service personnel and arrived at the entrance of a room. Seeing that she was about to knock on the door, he quickly said, "Go and busy yourself with your work.


    The service personnel nodded her head, Qiao Xuan watched as she left, hesitating on whether she should go in now. Thinking of what would happen after Chen Lina arrived, she bit her lips, but just as she was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened from the inside.


    She was stunned, her hands were still frozen in mid-air as she looked at Sheng Liang in a daze, "I ¡­"


    Sheng Liang''s eyes did not waver in the slightest, as he reached out to pull her hand: "Come in."


    It was a very luxurious suite, and the decorations were not inferior to some of the best mansions.


    Seeing Sheng Liang pulling her all the way to the room inside, Qiao Xuan quickly broke free from his hands. "I don''t have any other intentions, I just ¡­"


    Actually, she didn''t know what it was. When she saw him just now, she subconsciously followed him. She didn''t know what to say when she saw him.


    "I just want to see, which woman do I have a room with?" Sheng Liang turned around and looked straight into her eyes.


    "No!" Qiao Xuan immediately retorted, but when she looked into his eyes, her confidence weakened, "I ¡­ There''s something I want to ask you. "


    "Ask." Sheng Liang''s face still did not reveal any emotion, nor did his gaze shift away from Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was not even the least bit prepared, so he did not know what he should ask and could only lower his head in silence.


    Sheng Liang did not urge her, and waited quietly for the next part. The two of them did not speak, the air was as calm as water.


    Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded out. Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat, it should be the real Chen Lina, since she was here, she would definitely ruin Sheng Liang''s plan.


    She immediately looked around the room, trying to find a place to hide, but was pulled by Sheng Liang.


    She looked at him, and before she could think what he meant, she was pulled to the edge of the bed.


    "Lie inside." Sheng Liang lifted his blanket and looked at her.


    The knocking on the door continued, and Chen Lina pouted as she asked Sheng Liang if he was inside. Qiao Xuan was panicking, he could not think of anything to analyze, so he did as he was told.


    After wrapping Qiao Xuan''s entire body in the quilt, Sheng Liang looked at the slightly trembling quilt, and could even imagine Qiao Xuan''s panicked and nervous appearance. A hint of pity flashed past his eyes, and only after straightening his clothes a little did he walk over and open the door.


    Chen Lina put down her hand that was about to knock on the door. She looked inside and asked in a soft voice, "What is Young Master Liang doing? Why are you not opening the door for so long?"


    "I came a little early and fell asleep. I didn''t hear you knock on the door." Sheng Liang stepped aside to let her in.


    Chen Lina walked in and looked around the room: "I thought the Young Master Liang had a date with another woman."


    The waiter who had just brought her up said that a woman had already entered Sheng Liang''s room, causing her to need to show her identity card before she could come up.


    Sheng Liang grabbed her wrist and did not allow her to enter the room inside: "How can such a thing be done with the presence of a third person."


    Chen Lina seemed to have felt Sheng Liang''s flirtatiousness. She bit her lips and wrapped her charming eyes around his neck. "You''re right."


    On such a cold day, she was only wearing a green skirting dress. Her back was almost bare, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.


    Before coming here, she had deliberately sprayed out a large amount of perfume, a perfume known as opium, which was said to be irresistible to any man.


    Her hands kept sliding down Sheng Liang''s neck as her fingers circled around his chest: "Young Master Liang, who do you think is better looking between me and that Miss Qiao of yours?"


    From the moment Qiao Xuan heard Chen Lina entering the door, he became even more nervous, and even slightly regretted following her in so recklessly. Even if she was separated from Sheng Liang, she should also know that Sheng Liang could not have fallen for any other woman, if not she would have waited for Qi Luo for so many years.


    But suddenly hearing Chen Lina mention her, she couldn''t help but prick up her ears, as she was a little curious about Sheng Liang''s evaluation of her.


    "One is a phoenix while the other is a pheasant. They are completely different." Sheng Liang looked at Chen Lina and pulled her hand down without leaving a trace.


    Chen Lina actually did not understand what Sheng Liang meant, she thought Sheng Liang was praising her, and her smile became even more enchanting: "Then Young Master Liang, shouldn''t we do some proper work?"


    Sheng Liang took a step back, sat on the sofa, and crossed his legs as he looked at her.


    "What?" Chen Lina finally noticed that Sheng Liang was looking at him as if he was looking at a woman who provided special services. Her expression changed a little.


    "Take off your clothes." Sheng Liang said, but there was no warmth in his tone.


    The smile on Chen Lina''s face completely disappeared. Instead, she covered her chest and asked: "Young Master Liang, what do you mean by this?"


    "I should be asking you this," A piece of paper suddenly appeared in Sheng Liang''s hand, "Who ordered you to steal the company''s secret from me?"


    Chen Lina frowned. "What are you talking about? I don''t understand."


    Sheng Liang threw the piece of paper over, pointed to the top and said: "The surveillance cameras should have captured this, this new recipe that our company has just developed, you stole it from me."


    Chen Lina''s face immediately turned pale. "You ¨C don''t wrongly accuse me!"


    Sheng Liang continued to speak unhurriedly: "How did you get yourself into the position of CFO? You know better than anyone else that you did everything possible to get close to me, wasn''t it for this purpose?"


    Chen Lina shook her head. "I did not!"


    "Yes, you can tell the police." Sheng Liang did not look at her anymore, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.


    Without waiting for Sheng Liang to speak, Chen Lina seemed to have suddenly realized something, and immediately rushed over to press his hand: "Young Master Liang, Li Cheng told me to do it. It''s not my fault, please let me go!"


    Sheng Liang paused for a moment, then slowly put down the phone. "You must take responsibility for what you have said."


    "I know, I know. I can prove that it was really Li Cheng who wanted me to do this." Chen Lina saw that Sheng Liang did not say anything, and asked carefully, "Can Young Master Liang guarantee my safety?"

 C128

    "You are a witness, so I will naturally guarantee your safety." Sheng Liang looked at her meaningfully. Seeing her look of disbelief, he added, "There is someone else in this room, she has heard my words just now. She can testify for you."


    Chen Lina was just wondering, when she saw Qiao Xuan walking out, she said in shock: "Qiao ¡­ Miss Qiao! "


    Qiao Xuan stood there with a pale face, not even raising her head to look at the two people in front of her.


    However, Sheng Liang made use of her feelings for him time and time again, but she still chose to give in. She only wanted to keep the beautiful memories between the two of them as much as possible, but he was still trying to challenge her to a fight.


    But even though his heart had turned cold, Qiao Xuan did not reveal his lies. She knew, that Li Cheng zhi, was inciting others to expel Sheng Liang from the board of directors.


    Chen Lina had done some homework on Qiao Xuan, her predecessor. Thus, she knew that although Qiao Xuan did not have any friends in the company, she had a good reputation. Even some of the competitors were all towards her, saying that she had principles and a bottom line, and that she was being honest.


    Therefore, Chen Lina chose to believe her.


    After Chen Lina left, the room fell into silence. After a long while, Sheng Liang stood up, walked to Qiao Xuan''s side and raised his hand, as if he was going to touch her, but Qiao Xuan suddenly dodged.


    Her fingers secretly clenched as her eyes stared at the ground with a trembling voice, "I admit that I really like you. I can do anything for you, but that does not mean that you can trample on my dignity. This is the last time I''ll help you. In the future, you should take care of yourself.


    "Qiao Xuan..." Sheng Liang frowned, her lips moved slightly, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a few seconds, then walked out: "Goodbye."


    She really hoped that she would never see him again.


    Qiao Xuan got off the elevator and rushed out of the hotel entrance in one breath. She then started to breathe heavily, she felt like she was suffocating just a moment ago.


    Although Sang City was a Nightless City, it was almost winter, and the outside world was unusually cold, so there were very few people on the streets. With the cold wind blowing, Qiao Xuan was trembling all over.


    As she walked aimlessly along the street, her mind was filled with a jumble of things. Suddenly, a car roared past her, and she snapped back to reality. She found herself in a strange place.


    She was lost.


    There was no panic or fear. In fact, she did not even want to go back. She just stayed where she was and sat down on the stairs by the side of the road.


    After wrapping up his clothes, Qiao Xuan buried his face in his knees. A burst of sorrow suddenly surged as tears silently rolled down his cheeks.


    Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had experienced the taste of love, but before the sweetness could reach her hands, it suddenly turned into poison. The pain was so excruciating that she could only swallow it down.


    However, at this moment, she still did not regret her decision from before. Even though her body was covered with wounds, at the very least, she had truly loved him. She did not have any regrets.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how long she sat on the ground, but she felt that her entire body was frozen stiff. Hearing the sound of footsteps running towards her, she raised her head, and saw that it was Qiao Nan.


    "Sis, why are you sitting here? It''s such a cold day and you''re so stupid!" Qiao Nan scolded, but his face was full of pain, he reached out to help Qiao Xuan up.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was still covered in tears. When the cold wind blew, she felt a chill down her spine, and after hearing Qiao Nan''s words, she wanted to refute a few words, but her lips seemed to have frozen in place, unable to speak. She wanted to cooperate with Qiao Nan in standing up, but her legs were so numb that she couldn''t even stand.


    Seeing that her body was paralyzed on the ground, Qiao Nan picked her up and quickly walked to the taxi, carefully putting her inside.


    The hot wind was blowing inside the car, but Qiao Xuan was still trembling uncontrollably. Qiao Nan wrapped his jacket around Qiao Xuan''s body and kept rubbing her hands, scolding, "Are you an idiot?


    Qiao Xuan also felt that she was an idiot. She was only a man, but she had actually lost control of herself to this extent.


    "Sorry ¡­" Small... "Xiao Nan..." Qiao Xuan''s lips trembled, she knew that she was wrong, and shouldn''t have worried her family.


    Seeing her act this way, Qiao Nan did not have the heart to say anymore. All along the way, he only held her hand.


    After returning home, Qiao¡¯s father saw them coming back, he immediately walked over: "Hua''er, where did you run off to? You can''t get through the phone either, you scared us to death."


    "I''m sorry ¡­" After only three words, Qiao Xuan''s tears could no longer be stopped.


    The Qiao¡¯s father was stunned. Just as she was about to ask what had happened, Qiao Nan said from the side: "Mom, bring your sister to take a bath first. She''s freezing, so why don''t you take a warm bath?"


    The Qiao¡¯s mother had many questions, but Qiao Nan didn''t give her the chance to ask, urging her to bring Qiao Xuan to the bathroom.


    Soaking in the hot water, Qiao Xuan''s frozen body slowly recovered. He asked her mother who was sitting behind her and washing her hair, "Mom, am I very dumb?


    Qiao¡¯s mother gently ran his fingers through her hair as he smiled and said, "I think you''re pretty silly. Otherwise, why would you ask such a stupid question? You have no friends, but you have not met anyone with the same interests as you.


    Yes, she still had her family, this was the only thing that Qiao Xuan was glad for.


    Just as they were talking, they heard Qiao Nan''s furious voice outside, seemingly arguing with someone. Qiao Xuan said to his mother: "Mom, don''t worry about me, go and see what''s wrong with Nan."


    Qiao¡¯s mother stood up in response, opened the door, and walked out. He seemed to be lecturing Qiao Nan, but then Qiao Xuan did not hear their voices.


    After Qiao Xuan finished showering and changed his clothes, he left the room. Seeing Qiao Nan sitting alone outside with his hands folded across his shoulders and a tight frown on his forehead, the anger on his face did not dissipate yet, so she asked unconsciously, "Why are you not going to sleep yet?"


    Qiao Nan looked up at her, as if he had endured for a long time. Finally, he tried his best to ask calmly: "Are you planning to go to that media company?"


    Qiao Xuan walked over and sat down, poured a cup of water and took a sip: "Un, I have already signed the initial letter of intent, it''s just that I have yet to contact them regarding the following matters."


    Qiao Nan immediately said: "Sis, can you not go? I''ll help you find a better company."


    Qiao Xuan looked at him in confusion. "Weren''t you always encouraging me to go?

 C129

    Qiao Nan''s eyes flashed, he avoided her gaze and said: "Now is another time, I don''t wish for you to wade into this muddy water anymore."


    Qiao Xuan heard something and she leaned over to look into his eyes and asked: "Xiao Nan, are you hiding something from me?"


    "No ¡­." "No." Seeing that Qiao Xuan was suspicious, Qiao Nan immediately stood up, "I''m going to sleep, you should go to sleep as well."


    Qiao Xuan watched him escape and was even more sure that he knew something, but he was unwilling to tell her.


    She sat outside for a while, feeling a little dizzy, and then went back to her room to sleep, but the whole night she felt as if she were stepping on cotton, or as if she were in deep water, tossing and turning, but she couldn''t wake up no matter what.


    It was only on the morning of the second day that Qiao¡¯s mother woke her up and discovered that her body was burning hot to the point that it was terrifying. He immediately called for Qiao¡¯s father and Qiao Nan to send her to the hospital.


    It was as if she had had a long dream. She dreamt of the little bits and pieces of the oil painting that had walked with Sheng Liang, of the oil painting that had not been completely filled up yet, and of the new Begonia flower that had been planted in his courtyard.


    She dreamt that the Begonia had bloomed, and she and Sheng Liang stood under the tree. He kissed her forehead so gently, and he said, "I hope that they can continue to do this in the future."


    Qiao Xuan knew that she was dreaming, but she didn''t want to wake up. The him in reality would definitely not hug her like this.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was still unconscious, and the heat had not left his body, Qiao¡¯s mother wiped tears of pity on his face.


    Qiao Nan could not watch anymore. He walked out of the sickroom and stood at the door for a moment, then rushed out of the hospital without looking back. He took a taxi and went straight to Golden Age.


    Disregarding the obstruction of the two assistants, Qiao Nan barged into Sheng Liang''s office. Although he saw that there was someone else inside, he still said to Sheng Liang: "Don''t continue, end it, you can''t be so selfish and cause my sister to become like this just for yourself. Do you know that she''s in the hospital right now, and half her life is going to end soon!"


    Sheng Liang listened until he finished speaking, but still said with an indifferent face: "Sheng Hua has already entered the prison, and the agreement between her and I has already come to an end. I no longer have any relationship with her."


    Qiao Nan looked at him with furrowed brows. "So, what you said to me before was a lie. From start to finish, you never thought about being with my sister!"


    Sheng Liang looked at him with eyes that couldn''t tell his mood, and now, it was as if there was a layer of contempt within them. "Who do you think you''re talking to, people like you, what rights do you have to negotiate with me?"


    Qiao Nan clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said: "Sheng Liang, today, I must seek justice for my sister!"


    As he said that, he rushed towards Sheng Liang. He never thought that this man could be so compassionate!


    However, before he could even reach Sheng Liang, he was already restrained by the security guards who had rushed over.


    "Young Master Liang, should we send him to the police station?" the security guard asked.


    Sheng Liang waved his hands and walked in front of Qiao Nan. He crouched down and looked at who was pressed to the ground by the security guard, then said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Qiao Xuan not to think of doing nothing, and not to threaten me with her death. I, hate people''s threats the most."


    Qiao Nan glared at him fiercely: "Just you wait, I won''t let you be so proud."


    Sheng Liang looked at him, but did not say anything. He only waved his hand to allow the security guards to bring Qiao Nan out.


    Qi Chu watched from the side. Only when Qiao Nan was taken away did he ask: "Is his sister Qiao Xuan?"


    Sheng Liang nodded his head: "Before, in order to take Sheng Hua down, I had used the two siblings, however, I had already given them a corresponding reward, I never expected them to be so reckless."


    Qi Chu laughed: "Everyone wants to take a shortcut, that''s right, but I have a good impression of that Qiao Xuan. If Little Luo didn''t come back, I also hope that you could be with her."


    Sheng Liang lowered his head and drank a mouthful of coffee, then he looked at Yue Yang with furrowed brows, "Are you joking?"


    Qi Chu only smiled. After a long while, he finally said: "When are you free for these two days? My dad said that he''s treating you to dinner at home."


    Sheng Liang hurriedly said: "I should have gone to visit long ago. Let''s go tonight, I''ll make some arrangements."


    "Alright," Qi Chu stood up and said, "Then you can busy yourself, I''ll be leaving first."


    After walking to the door, Qi Chu suddenly turned around and said to Sheng Liang: "That Miss Qiao, you should go take a look. After all, she is innocent."


    Sheng Liang said lightly: "I don''t know how to treat women as you do. I only have one woman."


    Qi Chu smirked: "I''m just making a suggestion, whether I do it or not will all be up to you."


    Watching Qi Chu close the door and leave, Sheng Liang took the coffee and walked to the window, looking outside with a heavy gaze.


    Luo Jie pushed the door and entered. He looked at Sheng Liang and asked: "How about I go to the hospital to take a look at Miss Qiao?"


    "Don''t be nosy." Sheng Liang turned around and sat back on the chair, then said to Luo Jie, "Go and help me prepare a present, tonight I''m going to visit Mayor Qi."


    Luo Jie nodded his head: "I understand, I will go now."


    When he closed the door, Luo Jie looked at Sheng Liang who was immersed in his work. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he did not.


    The gift that Luo Jie picked out was a painting. Although it was not the ancient sacred hand, it was still from a famous expert of the times. Qi Mingyu smiled when she saw it, "Young Master Liang is so considerate."


    "Mayor Qi, please call me Sheng Liang." Sheng Liang said respectfully.


    Qi Chu smiled from the side: "It''s not the first time you two have met, why are you being so courteous? Sheng Liang, you should call me Father and Uncle."


    Qi Mingyu ordered someone to put away the calligraphy and paintings. She sat on the sofa and said, "Right, right, right, call me uncle. We will be family from now on, don''t be so strange."


    Sheng Liang nodded: "Uncle Qi."


    Qi Mingyu slapped her leg and laughed, then asked Qi Chu, "Where''s your sister, why hasn''t she come out yet? Sheng Liang has already been here for a long time, what is she doing?"


    "Maybe she''s dressing up. Girls all love to be beautiful." Qi Chu said with a smile, but it was obvious that he was concealing it.


    Qi Mingyu seemed a little displeased, she said to the auntie, "Go ask Little Luo to hurry up and come out, let''s dawdle for a bit, what are you saying?"


    "I''ll go find her." Sheng Liang immediately said.


    Qi Mingyu nodded, "Alright."


    Sheng Liang was extremely familiar with Qi Luo''s room. During the period of time she disappeared, he would find an excuse to come to the Qi household and then sit in her room in a daze.


    And now, when he opened the door, she was inside.


    Sheng Liang looked at the absent-minded Qi Luo who was sitting on the bed, walked over and hugged her gently, "What are you thinking about?"


    "My brother said that you want to marry me, is that true?" Qi Luo looked at a certain place with empty eyes, and asked with a clear voice.

    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment. The hand he was holding her with tightened, and said softly: "This is my long-cherished wish, don''t tell me you aren''t it?"


    Qi Luo did not answer, his eyes still empty. After a long while, he said: "I don''t know."


    Her voice sounded a little uncertain and a little uneasy. Sheng Liang unconsciously hugged her even more tightly.


    When they went out to eat, Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu seemed to be very happy, but Qi Luo was abnormally quiet.


    It was not that Sheng Liang couldn''t feel the change in her, but he had asked her a few times just to find out where she had gone to and what she had experienced in the past few years.


    When Sheng Liang was about to leave, Qi Mingyu said, "Little Luo, what are you standing there in a daze for, go send Sheng Liang off."


    Qi Luo lowered his head, and mechanically walked in front of Sheng Liang, holding his arm: "I''ll send you off."


    Sheng Liang bid farewell to Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu, and went out the door together with Qi Luo. When they walked out of the corridor, Qi Luo released his hand, "Don''t come back here next time, I don''t like you anymore."


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment. When he understood what had happened, he saw that Qi Luo had already turned around and ran inside. He did not even have the time to call out to her, as her figure had already disappeared into the darkness.


    Sheng Liang stood in his original spot for a long time. After hearing his mobile phone ring, he slowly withdrew his gaze and upon seeing that it was Luo Jie calling, he answered: "I''m out."


    After hanging up, he slowly walked out of the district, Luo Jie was standing outside the car waiting for him, the moment he saw him come out, he immediately opened the car door.


    After getting on the car, Luo Jie asked: "Are you going home?"


    Sheng Liang looked out of the window, and after a while, he turned around and said: "To the hospital."


    Luo Jie almost wanted to ask where he felt discomfort, but he suddenly realized that he was going to see Qiao Xuan. He replied happily, "Alright."


    In the corridor of the hospital, Qiao Nan leaned on the wall opposite of the ward''s door alone. His eyes showed worry and anger.


    He never would have thought that Sheng Liang would actually use the two siblings in such a way. If he had known earlier, he would not have helped Sheng Liang to deceive Qiao Xuan.


    Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and saw Sheng Liang and Luo Jie just walking towards him. His anger immediately surged, and he actually dared to attack them!


    He clenched his fists and walked towards Sheng Liang. He did not plan to care about the consequences anymore, he had to let Sheng Liang know that the siblings were not so easy to bully!


    But before he could reach Sheng Liang, he was dragged to the side by Luo Jie''s twisted arms. Seeing that he was about to curse, Luo Jie''s chin twitched, and indicated that he should look at the banners on the wall that forbid noise.


    He helplessly watched Sheng Liang enter Qiao Xuan''s sickroom as he gritted his teeth. "What is he doing here again?


    Seeing him stop moving, Luo Jie released him, patted his shoulder and said: "There are some things that cannot be seen just by looking at the surface, you will understand in the future."


    He did not know what would happen in the future, but he was clear that the current Qiao Xuan needed Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang slowly walked to the side of the sickbed. Under the miserable white light, Qiao Xuan''s small face became even paler and paler.


    He reached out and touched her forehead, still feeling the heat. It had been a full day since last night, and her fever had not yet subsided.


    The hair by her ears was drenched in sweat, sticking close to her face, his fingers gently moved her to the side, just as he was about to retract his hand, he was suddenly pulled back by Qiao Xuan, and she muttered: "Sheng Liang ¡­."


    Sheng Liang''s back instantly stiffened as he lowered his head to look at her tightly shut eyes. Only then did he realize that she was spouting nonsense.


    However, he did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he let her hold his hand tightly, as if he was holding onto her life saving straw.


    Sheng Liang had never seen Qiao Xuan act like this, with such a helpless look, it caused his heart to unconsciously ache.


    Almost unconsciously, Sheng Liang gently pulled Qiao Xuan over and let her lean into his embrace. When he looked down at her again, he saw that her eyebrows had stretched quite a bit, so he held her even more tightly.


    After who knows how long had passed since she slept a little, Sheng Liang finally pulled up the blanket and wrapped it around her.


    When he heard something slip from under her covers, he looked down and saw that it was the phone he had bought for her. It was broken and the screen was filled with cracks.


    After leaving the sickroom and seeing Qiao Nan''s hostile gaze, Sheng Liang didn''t say anything and directly walked past him.


    Luo Jie looked at Qiao Nan, and when he saw that wanted to catch up with him, he reached out and grabbed him: "Don''t do meaningless things, take good care of Miss Qiao."


    Even though Qiao Nan was unwilling in his heart, he knew that Luo Jie was right. Whether it was rationally or rationally, he couldn''t do anything to Sheng Liang.


    Luo Jie followed Sheng Liang out of the hospital. He had originally thought that would return home by then, but he never expected that Sheng Liang would actually say: "To Electronic City."


    Luo Jie was confused, but seeing that Sheng Liang''s expression was not very good, he did not dare ask further, and immediately drove in the direction of Electronic City.


    looked at Sheng Liang from the rearview mirror, wanting to remind him that he was calling someone. Luo Jie immediately said, "I''ll give you ten minutes, help me find the best mobile phone maintenance technician."


    Luo Jie suddenly thought of something. Wasn''t that security manager Guo Yang, who had been expelled by Golden Age, the boss of Electronic City?


    Speaking of which, if it wasn''t for Sheng Liang, Guo Yang would have been beaten to death by Sheng Hua''s men a long time ago.


    But, why was Sheng Liang looking for him?


    About ten minutes later, their car stopped outside Electronic City, and the lights inside were lit up. The door opened from the inside, and Luo Jie saw Guo Yang limping over towards them.


    Sheng Liang got out of the car, and without letting Guo Yang say anything more, he asked directly: "Where is the person I want to look for?"


    "They''re already inside," Guo Yang led them in. He turned his head to look at Sheng Liang and asked curiously, "There''s something important in Young Master Liang''s phone?"


    In fact, what he wanted to say was that Sheng Liang still needed to fix her phone, so shouldn''t she change it directly?


    But he knew his limits, and knew that even if he had such a huge fortune, it was all given to him by Sheng Liang. In front of Sheng Liang, he was still full of respect.


    Sheng Liang did not reply, when he went in, and saw the person repairing the phone, he took out Qiao Xuan''s phone from his pocket and handed it over, "Repair it before daybreak."


    That person blanked out for a moment, then looked at Guo Yang with a troubled look. Guo Yang nodded at him: "Go."


    From the moment Sheng Liang took out his phone, Luo Jie had already understood what was going on. He finally relaxed, from the looks of it, Sheng Liang had feelings for Qiao Xuan, he had a chance.

 C131

    Sheng Liang let Luo Jie and Guo Yang leave. He stood alone in front of the gigantic french windows on the fifth floor of Electronic City, looking at the blurry night outside. The emotions in his eyes were also as dark and hard to fathom as this night.


    Before dawn, Sheng Liang placed the repaired phone under Qiao Xuan''s pillow. Looking at her sleeping appearance, his long fingers caressed her face and muttered: "I''m sorry."


    Qiao Xuan finally woke up from the long dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure standing in front of the window, facing the light, his back facing her, so she could not see his face.


    However, that figure still made her feel a surge of emotions. Could it be that she wasn''t dreaming when she felt Sheng Liang holding her last night?


    With that name blocked in his chest, Qiao Xuan was almost unable to hold it in. She propped herself up and looked at the person by the window, and was about to shout out loud, but seeing that figure turn around, Qiao Xuan''s heart instantly cooled down.


    How could it be ¡­ Sheng Qian.


    Seeing that she had woken up, Sheng Qian walked over happily: "You''re finally awake. If you don''t wake up, I''ll have to transfer you to another academy. What''s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? "


    Qiao Xuan slowly regained his senses, seeing Sheng Qian staring at her, he said lightly: "I want to drink water."


    Sheng Qian heard her hoarse voice and immediately said: "I''ll go get you some water."


    He walked over to grab the thermos and saw it was empty, he said to Qiao Xuan, "Wait for me, I''ll go get some water."


    After Sheng Qian left, Qiao Xuan''s eyes dimmed down. Why did she think of Sheng Qian as Sheng Liang just now? That person had said such decisive words to her, but she was still thinking of him.


    She looked at her hand and suddenly thought of something. She remembered that previously, she seemed to have been holding the broken phone in her hand.


    Her heart was in a panic. She turned around and searched everywhere. Her body felt light and she felt as if she would fall down at any moment.


    However, she did not care about that at all. She was wholeheartedly searching for the phone. The moment she lifted her pillow to look at the phone, she felt a sense of joy, as if she had just gotten it back.


    She picked up the phone and saw that it seemed to be repaired. She was confused, but when she saw Qiao Nan walking in, she immediately asked: "Last night, did anyone come over?"


    Even now, she still held a little bit of hope.


    Qiao Nan frowned slightly, looked away, and lied: "Didn''t you see that? That Fourth Young Master, he asked someone to repair your phone."


    Qiao Nan knew that this was not good, he shouldn''t drag Sheng Qian into this, but he couldn''t find a better way to make Qiao Xuan accept the fact that Sheng Liang had already left her side.


    "Oh." Qiao Xuan lowered her head and responded softly. Her expression was extremely lonely, and even though she tried her best to hide it, it was not at her level of expertise.


    Qiao Nan understood her feelings, but he didn''t know what to do to allow her to quickly walk out. This was truly too difficult.


    Qiao Xuan stayed in the hospital for another two days, accompanying her the entire time. He told her all kinds of jokes, and even gifted her many strange things.


    Qiao Xuan forced herself to cooperate with him. She knew that Sheng Qian just wanted to make her happy, but the more she smiled, the more bitter she felt in her heart.


    That day, when she was reading a magazine absentmindedly, Sheng Qian suddenly came over and looked at the page that she opened. He smiled and said, "When you recover, how about I take you to ride on a hot air balloon?"


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything. The story she was reading was actually a tragic love story. The girl, who could not get the boy''s love, sat on the boy''s favorite hot air balloon and then jumped down from the sky in front of him.


    It was just that the illustration was so beautiful. The orange hot air balloon in the blue sky was like a golden lily in full bloom.


    Qiao Xuan knew that she would never use this kind of method to try and save something, or to say leave something in the opponent''s heart. If a person decided to leave, it would definitely be a premeditated plan, no matter how much she did, it would be useless.


    After being discharged, Qiao Xuan rested at home for a few days, the entire family was very careful with her, afraid that something might happen to her again.


    Qiao Xuan felt very guilty. She shouldn''t have made them worry, she tried her best to return to normal, eating and sleeping normally, accompanying them to watch TV and chat. But when she went back to her room alone, she would still feel empty.


    When Qiao Nan knocked on the door and entered, he saw Qiao Xuan sitting in a daze beside the bed, and asked softly: "Sis, are you alright?"


    Qiao Xuan immediately shook his head, then looked at Qiao Nan and said: "I''m thinking about something, it''s been so many days, and that company actually didn''t rush me."


    She had been pursuing them closely but now there was no movement. Although she had signed the letter of intent, it was not an official contract after all. She could go back on her word. Which company would be so confident?


    The color in Qiao Nan''s eyes changed slightly as he walked in front of Qiao Xuan and said: "Sis, with your qualifications, you don''t have to go to that company no matter what kind of work you can''t find. How about I help you find it?"


    Her name, it used to be, might not be, but it was still on the human resources blacklist.


    Qiao Xuan did not answer. After a while, he asked, "Is your work going well?"


    "Not bad. I''m just a bit busy, not touching the floor all day long. Besides, all the women in our department are middle-aged women. I''m sure we won''t even have the chance to have a relationship in the office." Qiao Nan complained.


    Qiao Xuan laughed, "Your MBA hasn''t graduated and it''s still a weakness. How about you quit your job and return to the United States?"


    It was as if Qiao Nan was waiting for her to say something. Right after she said it, he immediately said: "How about we go together, it''s just the right time to bring dad and mom out for a tour, they haven''t left the country yet."


    Seeing his excited expression, Qiao Xuan knew what he was thinking, and said lightly: "It''s not my style to run away, I should get up from where I have fallen."


    Qiao Nan curled his lips, turned his gaze to the side, and muttered: "I can see that you won''t be able to crawl back up at Sheng Liang''s place."


    There were only the two of them in the room, and they were so close to each other, so how could Qiao Xuan not hear it?


    Previously, when she said these words, Qiao Nan believed her.


    Qiao Xuan was a little guilty, but she didn''t want to admit it.


    "Also, don''t forget that his ex-girlfriend is back. If you continue pestering her, you will become the third son that everyone is scolding!" Qiao Nan''s tone was very serious. He wanted Qiao Xuan to be clear about his own situation, "Sis, don''t be silly."


    Yes, she should have remembered that, and kept it in mind.

 C132

    In the afternoon, Sheng Qian called her, saying that he would invite her to a concert in the evening. That band was the one she liked the most when she was in America.


    Qiao Xuan thought for a moment, then agreed.


    As if he had not expected it to be so easy, Sheng Qian was stunned for a moment before replying happily, "I''ll pick you up at 7 then."


    "En," Qiao Xuan paused for a moment, remembered about the cellphone, and said: "Thank you, Sheng Qian."


    Sheng Qian thought that she was talking about the concert and laughed: "What are you thanking me for? I also like that band, I just happened to buy two tickets."


    Knowing that he misunderstood, Qiao Xuan did not explain, because when talking about the phone, he would inevitably mention Sheng Liang, so he might as well misunderstand.


    They finished their meal around five o''clock. Qiao Xuan had changed his clothes and was sitting in the living room waiting for Sheng Qian. When Qiao¡¯s mother saw that she dressed formally, he could not help but ask: "Hua''er, do you want to go out?"


    "I''m going to the concert with a friend. I might be late. You don''t have to wait for me. You should go to bed early." Qiao Xuan said.


    Qiao¡¯s mother was still a little worried, but before she could say anything, she heard Qiao Nan say, "Mom, don''t stop my Sis from going out for fun. That kind of occasion, it''s only people with good taste that go out.


    Hearing Qiao Nan talk like a female pervert, Qiao Xuan grabbed the pillow behind her and threw it over: "What nonsense are you talking about!"


    Qiao Nan made a face at her, then returned to his room.


    However, Qiao¡¯s mother still looked at Qiao Xuan seriously and said, "Mom does not want any brother-in-law. The most important thing is to treat you well.


    All of my parents look forward to this, right? After going through such a huge illness this time, Qiao Xuan regretted that she wasn''t very sensible before. Her sadness and sadness are actually all torture for her parents, she will never do that again.


    "I know, Mom." Qiao Xuan held his mother''s hand, feeling a little sour in his heart.


    When her phone rang, she saw that it was Sheng Qian''s number. She did not pick it up, but instead said to her mother: "Mom, I''m going.


    After exiting the entrance of the residential complex, Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Qian''s car parked by the side of the road. When she walked over, he had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for her.


    "Are you cold?" When Sheng Qian asked this, he had already raised the temperature of the hot air to a higher level.


    She looked ahead, at the place where the lights were shining, the newly paved road seemed to be shining with light, "The road may be frozen, drive slower."


    Sheng Qian looked at her and laughed: "So you cared about me this much."


    "I just don''t want to go to the hospital again." Qiao Xuan said as he looked away.


    Sheng Qian looked at her, his mouth still full of smiles, but he still listened to Qiao Xuan, driving very slowly.


    As a result, they were late.


    The door to the concert hall had already been closed and the security guards were not allowed to enter.


    "Probably not with this band." Qiao Xuan said somewhat helplessly. In the United States, she had worked hard to save up enough money, but she did not have a ticket. This time, she had bought a ticket, but she was too late.


    Seeing the look of loss on her face, Sheng Qian had a bad taste in his heart. He took out his cell phone and dialled a number, telling the person at the other end, "Help me out. I came to the Naersi Theater to listen to a concert, because I was late and was stopped outside."


    A female voice came from the other side, and carried a tone of ridicule: "So even the Fourth Young Master of the Sheng Family has a time to beg for help."


    The phone''s sound quality was too good, so Qiao Xuan could hear it very clearly. Sheng Qian turned to look at Qiao Xuan and spoke to the person on the other side of the phone in a hushed tone: "Zhao Xiaowei, if you don''t mock me, I will die! Just tell me if you can help! "


    Just as he finished speaking, a beeping sound came from the other side of the phone. Sheng Qian could not help but curse: "What!"


    Knowing that things were not going well, Qiao Xuan advised him, "Forget it, we will listen to it again when we have the chance in the future."


    Although he did not want to see Qiao Xuan disappointed, in that moment, he did not know who else he could look for, so he gave up.


    Just as they were about to leave, the manager of the theater came out and called Sheng Qian. "Mister Sheng, right?


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan, as if he was asking for her opinion. Qiao Xuan immediately replied: No problem, sorry to trouble you.


    The manager led them through the side door of the theater and sat near the door.


    Although they had already tried their best not to disturb others, there were still people who noticed it. For example, Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang sat in an inconspicuous position at the back, but from his angle, he could observe the entire situation of the theater.


    From the moment the side door was opened, he had already shifted his gaze over and saw Qiao Xuan.


    In truth, he was not very interested in the concert, but he knew that Qiao Xuan liked it.


    He had not been able to understand why he would do this until the moment he saw Qiao Xuan.


    He had come to wait for her.


    When he realized this, Sheng Liang was startled and almost wanted to leave immediately.


    But even though he saw that Sheng Qian was so close to him, he still did not stand up.


    Until the end of the concert, the whole audience stood up and applauded, but Sheng Liang''s line of sight did not leave the two of them.


    When they were walking out, there were a lot of people, so Sheng Qian used his body to protect Qiao Xuan. There were a few times where he accidentally wrapped his arm around her shoulder, but Qiao Xuan always dodged them.


    Just as he was about to drive outside the theater''s entrance, he saw a woman standing in front of him. He pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand and was about to take a detour.


    "Sheng Qian, what are you hiding for?! Isn''t this the time to beg me?!" the woman shouted, but there was no anger in her face.


    The woman wore a long white fur coat and a bright red scarf, which accentuated her delicate face.


    In the past few days, Qiao Xuan had been idling away, accompanying her mother and watching quite a few televisions, so she knew that this woman was the most popular first-rate female celebrity, Zhao Xiaowei.


    She looked at Sheng Qian, the person who called him just now was right?


    Zhao Xiaowei used to act in dramas, and had performed in this theater many times, so it was not strange that he was familiar with the manager of the theater.


    Furthermore, she could naturally see that Zhao Xiaowei was interested in Sheng Qian.


    "Thank you for accompanying me to the concert. I won''t disturb you any longer. I''ll be leaving first." Qiao Xuan nodded towards Sheng Qian, and then walked towards the side of the road alone.


    "Hey, Qiao Xuan!" Sheng Qian anxiously shouted, he wanted to give chase, but Zhao Xiaowei grabbed onto his arm, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Xiaowei, are you done yet!"


    Zhao Xiaowei was neither anxious nor annoyed, he sneered: "You really let me see what it means to destroy a bridge after crossing it."


    Sheng Qian did not want to care about her, so he looked towards Qiao Xuan who was already by the side of the road, and saw a car stop beside her.


    That silver Aston Martin was Sheng Liang''s.

 C133

    When Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang''s car parked in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to the side. She really did not want to have anything to do with this person anymore.


    Sheng Liang got down from the carriage, walked a few steps forward, and stopped Qiao Xuan in his tracks: "I''ll send you off."


    Qiao Xuan turned around and looked at him coldly: "This is nothing.


    After the last incident and the reflections of the past few days, Qiao Xuan thought that she could really let go of this matter now. She thought that she could remain very calm even if she had to face him again.


    So it turned out that it was impossible for her to accomplish this.


    Sheng Liang did not speak further, and did not ask for her opinion. Instead, he pulled her directly to the side of the carriage.


    Qiao Xuan struggled for a few moments before stopping. She didn''t want others to think that they were a couple who were arguing.


    "What do you want me to do now?" As Qiao Xuan sat in the carriage, her expression was ice cold, but the tight grip of her fingers exposed her current nervousness.


    Knowing that she had misunderstood, Sheng Liang did not explain and only said: "I hope you will stay away from Sheng Qian."


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at him, "What does this have to do with you?"


    Subconsciously, Qiao Xuan was still carrying some expectations in her heart, but when she saw Sheng Liang''s silence, she secretly laughed bitterly to herself that she really had not changed for the better.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan going to open the door, Sheng Liang immediately pulled her back: "It''s not easy to take a taxi here, I''ll take you back."


    He knew that Qiao Xuan was stubborn, even if he wanted to walk back, she would get off without hesitation. Thus, he did not give her any time to react and immediately drove the car out.


    On the way, neither of them spoke, and the car was filled with a melodious violin.


    Qiao Xuan leaned on the window, looked outside and asked softly: "Since you are not interested, why are you going?"


    Sheng Liang looked forward, his eyes lowered, and did not reply for a long time.


    Qiao Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "It''s a discovery of the conscience, you want to compensate me?"


    "If that makes you feel better, you can think so." Sheng Liang said lightly.


    He was truly unwilling to even lie, causing Qiao Xuan''s heart to sink, and she spoke no more with him.


    When the car reached their district''s entrance, Qiao Xuan immediately got off the car and walked in quickly without looking back.


    She was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, she would become unsightly.


    Qiao Nan sat on the sofa with his arms crossed. Hearing the voice, he turned his head to look at her: "You went to the concert, could it be to see him?"


    Qiao Nan probably saw Sheng Liang''s car from the window, he did not want to say much and only said: "No."


    "Sis, I know that you''ve recovered from your illness, but your injuries have yet to heal. Do you think that he hasn''t stabbed you enough?" Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Xuan in disappointment. How could she still dare to follow someone who had hurt her so deeply?


    Qiao Xuan retorted: "I''m not, we just bumped into each other by chance, I couldn''t get a taxi, so he sent me back, he used me so many times, can''t he just give me a ride?"


    Her line of sight was completely avoiding him, so how could Qiao Nan not see through it? However, he did not pierce through her again, as he did not want to see her face again filled with blood.


    Qiao Xuan returned to his room, opened the curtains and looked out at the street. Under the street light, Sheng Liang''s car was still parked there, and he had not left.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she went to turn off the lights in the room, then went back to the window and watched his car pull away.


    Qiao Xuan looked like he had collapsed. His entire body felt soft, as if all his strength had been sucked out of him.


    She walked slowly to the bed and lay down on her side. Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, wetting the sheets.


    Must she have to leave the Sang City in order to completely leave his world?


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how she fell asleep, but when he woke up, he found that she was covered with a blanket.


    Qiao Nan knocked on the door and entered: "Get up to eat."


    Qiao Xuan frowned, he shrunk under the blanket and did not dare to move, "Shouldn''t you be careful not to casually come into my room from now on?"


    Qiao Nan leaned on the door and smiled maliciously: "I''m not a pervert, how could I have ulterior motives towards my own blood sister?"


    But even if he was two years younger than she was, he was already a mature man. He entered her room without her permission early in the morning, so it was very awkward for him to see anything.


    "In any case, you''re not allowed to do this in the future!" Qiao Xuan glared at him coldly.


    Qiao Nan spread out his hands: "Alright, since you are big, then you have the final say."


    Hearing his sinister laugh as he turned around, Qiao Xuan could not help but curse, "Scram!"


    Qiao Nan walked into the living room with his hands in his pockets, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. Qiao Xuan was brimming with vitality, it seemed like she was not affected by what happened last night.


    Hearing that there was no sound from outside, Qiao Xuan immediately changed his clothes, and just as he was about to go eat, his phone rang.


    It was Xiao Shen.


    "Miss Qiao, I''m sorry. I''ve been abroad for a while and haven''t been able to help you arrange for a meeting with the HR Director of that company. Do you have time today?" "Sorry," Shushin said apologetically.


    Qiao Xuan was curious why Yue Yang did not contact her anymore. So it was like that.


    "Okay, then this afternoon. I''ll set up the restaurant and send you the address."


    Qiao Xuan agreed and hung up the phone. Then, he looked at the darkened screen and was stunned for a long time.


    When she enters the new company, everything can start anew.


    Qiao Xuan walked over to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the green cilantro floating in the middle of the bowl, he couldn''t help but think of the scene when he went to the Walking Street to drink wonton with Sheng Liang.


    There would never be another opportunity like that in the future.


    "Hua''er, what''s wrong? Don''t you like eating wontons the most?" Seeing her in a daze, Qiao¡¯s mother thought that it was unsuitable for her.


    Qiao Xuan immediately retracted her train of thoughts, and said with a somewhat spoiled tone: "I haven''t tasted Mom''s wontons in a long time, I feel like crying."


    Qiao¡¯s mother tapped her forehead and retorted: "Who asked you to never come home. You''re clearly living in the same city, you live in it for a long time every year, we can''t even see you a few times, not to mention Nan. There''s 12 hours of time difference between us, and only your dad and I are at home.


    In the past, she had been busy working day and night. She didn''t want to disturb her parents'' rest time, so she rented a house for herself.


    Only now did she understand that what her parents wanted was actually the trouble of their children. The busier they were working for their children, the happier they would be and the more they would feel that they were worth it.


    Qiao Xuan turned around and hugged his mother, and said lightly: "From now on, I will not leave you guys, I will always be by your side."


    Qiao¡¯s mother could not help but nod her head again. "Stay with us.

 C134

    Qiao Xuan was silent for a moment, and then, hugged his mother even more tightly: "I''m not marrying anymore."


    In any case, she would probably never meet another person she loved in her life.


    Qiao¡¯s mother only treated her as a joke, and broke her hand, telling her to quickly eat.


    "Where are my dad and Xiao Nan?" Seeing that there were only the two of them, Qiao Xuan asked.


    "Xiao Nan found a job for your dad, he''s working as a horticultural worker in our sector, the two of them ate early, Xiao Nan took your dad to get familiar with the environment". Qiao¡¯s mother sat opposite of Qiao Xuan and said.


    In the past, Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan didn''t allow them to work anymore, they could only live their whole lives together, but Qiao¡¯s father always felt that he was a hero in a useless place. Even though he was only in his fifties, he still had to play chess with those old men who were in his sixties and seventies, and he had already complained about it several times, perhaps Qiao Nan also felt that it would be better to find him a job.


    Furthermore, they were at their own district, so Qiao Xuan did not say anything as they were so close to each other.


    At three in the afternoon, Xiao Shen sent a message to Qiao Xuan that he would be waiting for her there.


    Qiao Xuan came down from the stairs and saw Qiao¡¯s father watering the flowers from afar. She seemed to be very happy and she smiled, not going over to disturb him.


    Just as she walked out of the district''s entrance, Qiao Xuan saw Qiao Nan talking to someone under the willow tree by the side of the street. That person''s back was to her, but she still recognized that person.


    Although she knew that the thing between her and Sheng Liang had nothing to do with Luo Jie, but seeing that Luo Jie had met with him in private, she became suspicious. She unconsciously walked over and called out: "Xiao Nan, what are you guys talking about?"


    Both of them did not notice Qiao Xuan''s approach and seeing her so suddenly caused their expressions to change. Qiao Nan immediately said: "I''m fine. I borrowed something from him, but I''ll return it to him now. "


    Qiao Xuan also didn''t know if what Qiao Nan said was true or not, but he still felt a little uncomfortable with Luo Jie''s appearance.


    "That, I''m fine. Then I''ll be going." Luo Jie hurriedly said before he turned around and prepared to leave.


    Qiao Xuan called out to him, "Can you give it to me?


    Luo Jie hesitated, but still nodded: "Alright."


    When they walked towards the side of the carriage, Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Xuan, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping in his tracks. In the end, he only said, "Sis, come back early."


    Qiao Xuan followed Luo Jie onto the car, and after the car had driven out, Qiao Xuan said to Luo Jie: "Don''t you guys have any plans on Xiao Nan, Sheng Liang has just used me, you guys can let Xiao Nan go."


    Luo Jie hurriedly said, "Miss Qiao, you misunderstood me. It''s not what you think, in fact ¡ª ¡ª"


    Luo Jie turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan''s questioning eyes, and thinking of Sheng Liang''s explanation, he stopped talking for a moment, then said: "Xiao Nan called me, said that she wanted to return the thing to me, and it has nothing to do with Young Master Liang."


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything, and only hoped that what he said was true.


    Luo Jie watched as Qiao Xuan got off the car. He let out a long breath, then took out his phone and dialed Sheng Liang''s number: "Young Master Liang, everything is done."


    Qiao Xuan walked into the dining room. Seeing that Xiao Shen and another person were already waiting for her, she walked over and the two of them immediately stood up to shake hands with her.


    Xiao Shen introduced the two to each other: "Miss Qiao, this is Mr. Fu Yiliang, the HR Director of the Fei Leng Cui Media Company. Director Fu, this is Ms. Qiao Xuan."


    Fu Yilang nodded with a smile. "I have long heard of the Miss Qiao''s name. It''s just that I never thought that the Miss Qiao would actually be so young and beautiful."


    "Director Fu, you''re too kind." Qiao Xuan laughed somewhat embarrassedly.


    After greeting each other, they sat down and talked about specific matters, including compensation and shares. Fu Yilang said that all of this was already in the contract, and then, he took out the contract for Qiao Xuan to see.


    Qiao Xuan read the pages and felt that there were no problems, so he signed.


    "From now on, I''ll have to call you President Qiao of the Miss Qiao." He called the waiter over and ordered a bottle of Don Perignon. "The best champagne is what''s worth celebrating."


    Although he said that, Qiao Xuan only took a few sips symbolically, and they did not force him.


    "The company has arranged a special car and driver for Director Qiao. The driver will pick you up at your house tomorrow morning." Fu Yilang said.


    Qiao Xuan nodded his head: "Thank you."


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan officially told her family that she was going to become the CEO of a media company. She would be very busy in the future, but she would still stay at home.


    When the Qiao¡¯s father heard this title, he was naturally overjoyed. The Qiao¡¯s father said: "As expected of my daughter, you are truly amazing."


    Only Qiao Nan sat by the side and did not say a word, his expression somewhat solemn.


    Qiao Xuan walked over and knocked on his head: "At first let me go, then refused to let me go. Why aren''t you saying anything today?"


    Qiao Nan seemed to have gotten angry from embarrassment, as she said, "Isn''t it all because you''re stupid?" He then returned to his room.


    The sound of the door closing was deafening.


    Qiao¡¯s mother looked at the door that was slammed shut, and asked puzzledly: "What is going on?"


    "Who knows." Qiao Xuan spoke carelessly, but when he looked away, his eyes were somewhat heavy.


    She still remembered the last time Qiao Nan went missing, and that was also Sheng Liang''s plan after she found out about it.


    But what she did not understand was how Qiao Nan could be so willing to cooperate with him. What did Sheng Liang promise him?


    The night when she brought her home from the road, Qiao Nan had told her in all seriousness that she should not go to that company anymore. But now, he actually did not object to it, it was probably because Luo Jie had said something to him.


    Qiao Xuan closed the door to his room, slowly walked to the window, and unconsciously thought back to last night, when Sheng Liang had sent her back.


    She pulled the curtain aside. It was still dark outside. Under the street lamp, there was a couple embracing and kissing.


    The girl was wearing a boy''s cotton jacket. The boy was shivering, but he covered his ears with his hands to keep her from freezing, and the girl held the boy''s hand in her gloved one.


    Love is like this right, can in cold time, each other warm each other.


    And at no cost.


    Thus, she had never been in love before. The seemingly warm and gentle scenes were all meticulously planned out.


    Since she understood, then what was she still nostalgic about?


    Qiao Xuan closed the curtains again and left the window. He picked up the phone on the bed and dialed Sheng Liang''s number.


    No matter what he wanted to do, she only wanted to warn him not to involve Qiao Nan anymore.


    The rainbow bell rang for a long time, but no one answered. Just as Qiao Xuan was about to hang up, the phone suddenly connected, and then, a woman''s voice came from the other end: "Are you looking for Sheng Liang, he just ¡­ "I''m out. Can I get him to call you back later?"


    Qiao Xuan''s entire person seemed to have frozen. Only after a long while did he finally say: "No need, goodbye."

 C135

    Qiao Xuan didn''t even understand why she was in such a panic. She should have thought that he was with Qi Luo when she called him at this time.


    Fortunately, she didn''t hit him because of feelings. Otherwise, she really would have become the Little Three that Qiao Nan had mentioned.


    She sat in bed for a long time before her heart began to calm down. She reflected on the reason she had just called him, with more or less unspeakable thoughts, and realized how despicable she was.


    She then took out her phone and added Sheng Liang''s name into the blacklist.


    Since he was going to start over, some people should just let him pass.


    When Sheng Liang came out from his shower, he received a call from Qiao Xuan: "Just now, Qiao Xuan called you."


    Sheng Liang''s hand that was wiping his hair suddenly stopped. He put the phone to the side, then asked Qi Luo: "Are you really not going to leave today?"


    Qi Luo was only wearing her Sheng Liang''s shirt, walking barefoot in front of him, tiptoeing to kiss Sheng Liang''s lips, but seeing the wariness that flashed past his eyes, she laughed: "You already don''t love me, why are you lying to yourself?"


    When Qi Luo kissed him just now, he subconsciously wanted to avoid her, but he didn''t think that it was because he didn''t love her anymore. After all, they had been separated for so long, so he felt that they were a little unfamiliar with each other.


    "Little Luo ¡­" Sheng Liang grabbed her hand, wanting to explain, but he was immediately blocked by Qi Luo.


    She walked over, took out a cigarette from her bag and lit it. Then, she sat on the carpet in front of the window and looked at the dark sky outside.


    Sheng Liang frowned, he walked in front of her and took the cigarette in her hand, then extinguished it in the ashtray: "When did you learn to smoke?"


    Even though he was disgusted, his tone was still full of love when he asked that question.


    Even after all these years, no matter how capricious she was, he still couldn''t bear to lose his temper with her.


    Qi Chu had said many times before, that looking at him, it was as if he was spoiling his own daughter.


    Of course he didn''t think of her as a daughter, but she was still a child, and he couldn''t help but want to protect her.


    At that time, Qi Luo had a simple personality. He was happy, angry, and sad all over, especially when he smiled like the sun.


    Later, when Sheng Liang thought about it, it was probably because his world was filled with darkness and filth that he liked the clean and straightforward Qi Luo at first glance.


    Protecting her under his wing was like protecting his last piece of pure land.


    But he forgot, people change.


    Just like the current Qi Luo, he might not be ready to get along with her.


    In her memory, Qi Luo''s clear eyes were still empty, devoid of any light. She gently hugged her knees, put her head on the pillow, and said leisurely: "There are still a lot of things you don''t know about me."


    Hearing her voice, Sheng Liang''s heart ached for no reason. He lowered his head and looked at her, stroking her hair: "Will you tell me?"


    Qi Luo shook his head: "You won''t want to know, I don''t even want to remember it myself."


    Sheng Liang no longer asked. He knew that it must be a very cruel memory. He sat down beside Qi Luo, pulled her head over and gently kissed the top of her head. "It''s all in the past now.


    When Sheng Liang finished speaking, his heart suddenly throbbed as if he had also said this to someone.


    After thinking about it, he found that there was Qiao Xuan.


    Seeing that Qi Luo was asleep, Sheng Liang carried her back to the bed. When her body touched the bed, she immediately curled up like a shrimp.


    As Sheng Liang looked at her, he felt his heart ache. He held her hand and waited for her to fall asleep before slowly releasing her.


    After returning outside, he picked up his phone and wanted to call Qiao Xuan back, but he found that he couldn''t get through.


    Hearing that it was Qi Luo who answered the phone, that woman must have thought that she had disturbed him.


    However, how could she feel that just by blackening him, she would be able to leave his world?


    Sheng Liang did not realize that, when he thought of that, his lips actually formed a faint smile.


    He turned and called Luo Jie, and asked: "Regarding Qiao Xuan''s entry into office tomorrow, has everything been arranged over there?"


    "It''s already been arranged. Director Fu personally arranged it. It shouldn''t be a problem." After Luo Jie finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Young Master Liang, do we really not need to reveal anything to her? She misunderstands you very deeply, and because she is so intelligent, she will definitely see through us soon. I''m afraid that at that time, the situation might become uncontrollable."


    Sheng Liang smiled, "Don''t worry, she will pay attention to the big picture."


    Qiao Xuan was not a sentimental person. After all, she had endured such a huge blow previously. Even if she lost control over it, it wouldn''t be in public.


    Sheng Liang hung up the phone, but then unconsciously thought about Qiao Xuan''s illness. Even someone as rational as her would not be able to escape from feelings.


    He was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs with his phone.


    When Qing Qing saw him, he couldn''t help but ask, "Sir, why are you out so late at night?"


    "Hm, help me take care of Luo, I''ll be back soon." As Sheng Liang said this, he had already changed his shoes at the profound entrance.


    Looking at his back as he hurried out, Qing Qing thought that it must be something very important, otherwise he would definitely not abandon Qi Luo.


    Sheng Liang drove out of the main entrance, his heart seemingly filled with emotions along the way, and was no longer able to maintain his usual calmness.


    The car stopped outside of Qiao Xuan''s little district. He looked at her window and saw that the light of the table lamp was still on.


    Qiao Xuan lied on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind was entirely occupied with the scene of Sheng Liang and Qi Luo together.


    She knew she had no backbone, but her emotions were like a flood. Once she turned the switch, she wouldn''t be able to control it.


    She rolled over again, still wide awake, got out of bed and went to the window.


    The couple should have left long ago, but she still wanted to open the curtain and take a look.


    Under the street lamp, Sheng Liang sat in the car for a while and then laughed at himself.


    Up until now, his feelings toward Qiao Xuan had only stopped at the stage where he reached an agreement with her.


    He had always known what he wanted, so even if he pretended to lose his memories, he had a close relationship with Qiao Xuan. He believed that Qiao Xuan knew his limits and wouldn''t really care about it.


    On the other hand, he was the one who was sleeping in his room, the one he had been thinking about day and night about.


    It should be because of what Luo Jie said just now, but Qiao Xuan was never a weak girl, so she wouldn''t do anything stupid.


    Thinking about it, Sheng Liang turned the steering wheel and drove away.

 C136

    With a ''shua'' sound, the curtain was pulled open. Qiao Xuan looked at the dark and gloomy night outside. Under the street lamp, it was completely empty, just like her current mood.


    Earlier, she was looking forward to something.


    Qiao Xuan lowered her head and smiled in relief. Luckily she did not see the person she was looking forward to. Otherwise, she would not know if she could control herself to go see him.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was woken up by the sound of knocking. With his strength, he could tell from the sound of the door that it was Qiao Nan.


    Qiao Xuan looked at her phone. It was still early, so it was enough for her to eat breakfast and put on an exquisite makeup.


    Their family was not allowed to speak during meals, but today, Qiao Nan seemed to want to say something, but stopped in his tracks. From time to time, he would stare at Qiao Xuan.


    After dinner, took the opportunity while his father was at work to clean up the tableware. He asked Qiao Nan in a low voice: "What did Luo Jie tell you yesterday, is it related to me?"


    Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Xuan in astonishment, and only laughed stiffly after a while: "You''re thinking too much, I''m really just ¡­ Return his things. "


    "Just tell me what he''s threatening you with and I''ll deal with it." Qiao Xuan didn''t listen to him at all, she only believed in her own judgement.


    Qiao Nan seemed to be wavering, he lowered his head and remained silent. After a long time, he laughed and said: "Actually, it''s nothing much, just that Third Young Master, I''m afraid that it''ll be awkward if we meet. After all, the two companies are so close to each other, and we can''t even see each other head to head."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she had never thought of this question, that media company was right opposite Golden Age.


    Qiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and walked towards the side: "There''s no awkwardness when trying to scheme against me, what''s there to be embarrassed about? Tell Luo Jie and tell him to be at ease, wherever Third Young Master appears, I''ll definitely avoid him."


    No matter how reluctant she was, it was a foregone conclusion that she and Sheng Liang would play together. All she had to do was try her best to treat him as a stranger.


    "Sis, I admire your courage the more you try." Qiao Nan followed and pinched her shoulder a few times, flattering her, "If you make a big move, Sheng Liang is nothing. Even the heir of some foreign family has to kneel under your evening dress at any time. At that time, you might even be able to seal a Countess or something.


    Qiao Xuan was too lazy to bother with him, she dodged his hand, took her bag from the sofa and walked out, "I will leave the matters regarding Guang Ming''s family name for you to do, I am not interested."


    After telling her mother that I was leaving again, Qiao Xuan opened the door and went out.


    The sky outside was gloomy, the moment Qiao Xuan stepped out of the corridor, he felt the cold wind blow against his face like a knife.


    A young man ran over to her, smiled and said: "Boss Qiao, my name is Xu Yi, I''m your secretary. Boss Fu has arranged for me to come pick you up.


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that she would have to wait outside for a while, but she didn''t expect that she would be the one waiting for her.


    After getting on the car, Qiao Xuan saw a laptop on the side. She did not ask, but Xu Yi noticed her gaze and immediately said: "Oh, that was made up for you by the company. There is something inside that needs to be used for the meeting, take a look first."


    Qiao Xuan turned on the computer, and saw a very detailed meeting process, as well as what was discussed at the meeting, even the information on the people participating in the meeting was very detailed.


    "Did you do this?" Qiao Xuan didn''t even raise his head as he casually asked.


    Xu Yi hurriedly asked: "Is Master Qiao not satisfied in any way?"


    "No, I did a good job. It saved me a lot of trouble." Qiao Xuan praised.


    Although she had done a lot of homework, she still did not understand much about the media, but seeing that Fu Yilang and Xu Yi were doing things in such meticulous detail, the Icy Jade Cui should be running quite well.


    However, in her heart, she was still a little worried. She could not find any information about the Icy Jade Cui on the internet, and the legal person registered with the company was also an unknown name. It was simply impossible to find.


    Originally, he wanted Sheng Qian to help her investigate, but he didn''t know what he was busy with recently, it was a bit secretive.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly thought of that female star called Zhao Xiaowei and smiled.


    Since she had already decided to take the position and sign the contract, she could only challenge Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild.


    The car quickly drove into the company''s underground parking lot. Xu Yi got off, walked to Qiao Xuan''s side and opened the car door, and even helped her block the car''s roof.


    Qiao Xuan said to him: "In the future, you don''t need to pick me up. It''s too wasteful to let you be the driver."


    Xu Yi laughed and said: "It''s my honor, but the company has indeed arranged a car and driver for Director Qiao."


    As Xu Yi said that, he pointed to a spot where a red car was parked.


    Qiao Xuan looked at that car and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he realized that they had investigated her about that car with a search company, so it wasn''t difficult for them to know that she liked that car.


    Taking the elevator up, Qiao Xuan followed Xu Yi directly to her office. A few assistants called out to her from outside: "Hi, Boss Qiao."


    "Hello everyone." Qiao Xuan did not say much and followed Xu Yi into the office.


    The office was very big, and the furnishings inside were also the style that Qiao Xuan liked. She walked over and saw a picture frame on the table, it was a picture of the Eiffel Tower.


    A few memories popped out of the cocoon in an instant, and she took them out to give to Xu Yi: "Change this, I don''t like it."


    Xu Yi immediately took it: "Sorry, Director Qiao, it was my mistake."


    "It has nothing to do with you," Qiao Xuan said, then turned on the computer. "It''s fine now, go and busy yourself."


    "Okay," Xu Yi stood there respectfully, and said, "Before the meeting, Boss Fu arranged a simple welcome ceremony, and when they are ready, I will come to invite you over."


    "I know."


    Only after hearing Xu Yi close the door and leave did Qiao Xuan''s gaze move away from the computer. She walked to the large window and looked in the opposite direction.


    From her point of view, she could see the office floor of Golden Age, but she couldn''t see Sheng Liang. His office was on the other side.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know why, but when he came to this place and saw some things, he felt that it had something to do with Sheng Liang.


    Xiao Shen had investigated her before, but she seemed to have only told Sheng Liang about the matter of love banquets when he pretended to lose his memories.


    And the painting of the Eiffel Tower, bought on the banks of the Seine, only the two of them knew.


    But how could that be possible, how could Sheng Liang be related to this company?


    It had to be a coincidence.


    Qiao Xuan withdrew her train of thought and stopped thinking about these things. She carefully looked at the information on the company and understood its operation. After a while, Xu Yi came to call her, saying that all the employees in the company were waiting for her.


    Although he was previously the Chief Financial Officer in Golden Age, he was still treated differently when compared to the CEO. Qiao Xuan was a little nervous.

 C137

    But she never would have thought that she would see Qiao Nan''s figure in the welcoming party!


    Especially when she looked over and saw that he was still acting as if nothing had happened.


    Fu Yilang walked over and shook her hand before introducing her to the others, "This is our new CEO, Ms. Qiao Xuan. Everyone welcomes her."


    Qiao Xuan bowed to them, then said in a shallow voice: "I hope that we will work together in the future to make the company better and better."


    Some people chimed in.


    Then, a part of the main person in charge introduced themselves to her. It was all talk on the stage, Qiao Xuan heard it a lot and just smiled.


    Out of the corner of her eyes, she was still paying attention to Qiao Nan.


    After the welcoming ceremony, the company''s higher ups went straight to the conference room, waiting to report to Qiao Xuan on the latest work progress.


    The things that they wanted to discuss, Xu Yi had already stored them in Qiao Xuan''s computer before the meeting, so raising them again at the meeting was actually just a formality.


    Obviously, he had done a good job as the CEO job. Qiao Xuan only needed to let them go through it step by step.


    Returning back to the office after the meeting, Qiao Xuan asked Xu Yi, "Why did the former CEO leave?"


    Before she came here, she had thought that it would be a piece of loose sand. Otherwise, Xiao Shen wouldn''t be so anxious.


    But now she knew, it wasn''t like that at all.


    Xu Yi was startled for a moment, and then said: "There is no former CEO Fu, everything previously in the company was handled by Director Fu. After ensuring that you are here, Director Fu decided to retire as the HR Director."


    "So that''s how it is." Qiao Xuan lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, then said: "Go ask CEO Fu to come over, and bring a copy of everyone''s personnel file."


    "Alright, Director Qiao." After Xu Yi finished speaking, he closed the door and went out.


    Fu Yilan knocked on the door and entered after a short while. He held a file in his hand. "Boss Qiao, you were looking for me?"


    "Please take a seat." Qiao Xuan said politely, then asked tentatively, "Is Director Fu''s company established already?"


    Fu Yilang nodded. "Yes, Director Qiao."


    "Then you should know who the chairman is, right?" Qiao Xuan looked at Fu Yiran unblinkingly, trying to find some clues from his face.


    Fu Yilang smiled and said, "Director Qiao, I only care about getting money for my work. Who gives it to me is not important."


    He was obviously fighting with Tai Ji, but Qiao Xuan did not continue asking, and changed the topic: "I got it, leave the documents here, Boss Fu, go and busy yourself."


    Fu Yiliang nodded and stood up to leave.


    Qiao Xuan looked in the direction of the door and secretly sighed, this company''s water is really deep.


    She opened the portfolio in front of her and skimmed through it. Although it was a new company, the standard of employment was still very high. Even the most ordinary clerks graduated from famous universities.


    Her finger stopped on Qiao Nan''s page and gently pulled it out. On it was written "American MBA Graduation", as well as a year''s worth of work experience for Golden Age''s Tian An Group.


    Most importantly, there was also Sheng Liang''s handwritten recommendation letter. Qiao Xuan could not be more familiar with the signature at the end of the letter.


    His mind was in a bit of a daze, but Qiao Xuan woke up very quickly, so this was the reason why Qiao Nan was no longer against her coming here.


    On the first day he arrived, Qiao Xuan did not have much work to do as he familiarized himself with his work environment.


    When they were about to leave after work, Xiao Zhang, the driver arranged by Fu Yilang, was going to drive. She said, "I''ll go back myself today. Just give me the car keys."


    Xiao Zhang gave her the key, and she went to the underground car park, drove out, and stopped in front of Qiao Nan by the side of the road outside the company. She looked at him and said: "Get in."


    Qiao Nan looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quickly got in the car, patted his seat and laughed: "Not bad, Sis, with this, they will give you a Porsche to drive, you sure are generous."


    "A fake education and a fake curriculum vitae. Do you know what the consequences will be after you are discovered?" Qiao Xuan frowned when he saw that Qiao Nan still had an indifferent look on his face.


    "I''m not lying," Qiao Nan retorted. "I''ve been in the MBA before, I''ve also been in Golden Age before. At most, I exaggerated a little, but it''s all the same now."


    Qiao Xuan shook his head in disappointment: "Xiao Nan, I really don''t believe that you would do that."


    Qiao Nan sighed, looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "Sis, there are some things that can''t be seen just by looking at the surface. You will understand later on how painstakingly I have been doing."


    Qiao Xuan also sighed, "Don''t think that I don''t know, you were bribed by Sheng Liang to sell out your own sister."


    Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Xuan with his mouth wide open: "You ¡­ "You already know about it?"


    "The recommendation letter he wrote for you, Sheng Liang is so eye-catching, I''m not blind." Qiao Xuan slanted his eyes at him, "Just because you wanted to enter this company, you actually went and begged him. I''ve already told you, I don''t want to have any contact with him, and I don''t want to owe him anything. You should resign."


    Hearing Qiao Xuan say this much in one breath, Qiao Nan let out a sigh of relief. The betrayal she was referring to, was actually this.


    But he quickly reacted and retorted: "Why, I came in with great difficulty, don''t you know, in the Sang City, other than Golden Age, it''s the highest salary you can get for a jade. I don''t want to resign."


    "Are you in need of money?" Qiao Xuan frowned and looked at him, then said coldly, "I''ll give you as much as you want."


    "You''re you, I''m me, and I''m not a pretty boy who relies on women to make a living. I entered the company based on my own ability, and in the future, I''ll also raise my salary based on my ability." Qiao Nan said with a serious face, "Also, I won''t tell anyone else my relationship with you, so I hope you won''t mention it."


    "Xiao Nan ¡ª"


    After Qiao Nan finished speaking, he pushed open the door and got out of the car. Hearing Qiao Xuan call him, he said coldly: "As a company''s little white-collar worker, I should take the bus to the subway, Director Qiao don''t need to wait for me in the future, so as to prevent others from gossiping about me."


    Qiao Xuan watched as he walked towards the side in big strides. She didn''t understand what had happened, and only hoped that he would not take such a shortcut and stay on the ground. Was she wrong?


    was afraid that if she went back home too early, her parents would ask her why she didn''t go back with them. Qiao Xuan planned to find someone to have a cup of coffee with first, so she took out her phone and flipped through the phone book.


    In a cafe near the hospital where Luo Keke worked, Qiao Xuan rarely asked people to complain. She found that she really didn''t understand Qiao Nan.


    After Luo Keke heard her out, he could not help but laugh and say: "Maybe he felt that you were too overbearing, and that sentence of yours was too overbearing."


    "Which sentence?" Qiao Xuan looked at her blankly.


    "How much do you want? I''ll give it to you." Luo Keke imitated her tone just now, and laughed after learning it, "Don''t you think that those words are something a man should say to a woman?"

 C138

    Qiao Xuan had always thought in this way, so she did not think so. However, Luo Keke''s words seemed to remind her: "Am I not a womanly person?"


    " "What?" Luo Keke suspected that he had heard wrongly.


    " How about this one? " Qiao Xuan asked Luo Keke as he took out a pink blouse and compared it to his body.


    " "Commander, come down." Sheng Liang called out.


    " Indeed, it obeys master the most. " Luo Keke said helplessly.


    " "He''s asleep." Sheng Liang made her sit down and then told her to make tea.


    " What she becomes is her own choice and has nothing to do with me. " As usual, Sheng Liang''s voice was cold and indifferent.


    " I am responsible for this too, and I should not have matched you at that time. " She never thought that Qi Luo would come back, and that was why she was in this situation.


    " I can''t sleep. " Qi Luo went around from the side and entered Sheng Liang''s embrace like a little kitten, "You''re not by my side, I''m scared."

 C139

    Sheng Liang''s body suddenly stiffened. He knew that Qi Luo must have heard his conversation with Luo Keke just now. He looked into her eyes and said, "His heart is also here."


    No matter what had happened between him and Qiao Xuan previously, he had told himself that he must not let Qi Luo down.


    Qi Luo slowly sat up, straddling on top of Sheng Liang''s legs. She held his face with both hands, her lips gently caressing the corner of his lips.


    Sheng Liang supported her waist, subconsciously wanting to stop her actions. Afraid that she would think too much into it, he allowed her to continue.


    He could feel that the current Qi Luo was sensitive and weak, as if she was always afraid of losing something, which was why he didn''t want to make her feel insecure.


    He extended a hand to caress her hair, and her breathing became heavier and heavier. With a push of his hand, he pressed Qi Luo down on the sofa.


    Although they had lived together at that time, to him, Qi Luo was still a little girl. He only wanted to protect her and had never done anything too excessive to her.


    So in fact, this was the first time they had been so intimate.


    However, when he lowered his head to look at Qi Luo, Qiao Xuan''s face would unconsciously float up to his eyes.


    He tried his best to put these scenes aside. He knew that letting Qi Luo down like this was too much, and he kissed Qi Luo even harder, not wanting him to think about anything else.


    Just that, when he was about to take off Qi Luo''s nightgown, Qi Luo seemed to have thought of something and immediately pushed him away like a frightened rabbit, running upstairs without looking back.


    In that moment, Sheng Liang felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.


    But he understood that he shouldn''t have felt that way, so he quickly gave chase, but Qi Luo had locked the door from the inside, and softly asked from the outside: "Little Luo, what happened? Open the door, and tell me everything."


    He was slightly afraid in his heart. Just as he was about to find Qing Qing to take out the key to open the door, he heard Qi Luo''s calm voice say, "I''m fine, go to sleep."


    This was probably the first time she had called him that since she had returned, just like she did a few years ago. However, Sheng Liang still couldn''t relax, and carefully comforted her: "Little Luo, open the door, I''ll just look at you, okay?"


    Qi Luo sat in front of the makeup mirror, tilted her body, and looked at the ugly fireworks burning on her slender shoulders in the mirror. Her eyes reddened, but in the end, she still held back her tears.


    She tried her best to calm her emotions, walked over and opened the door, then looked at Sheng Liang and said, "I''m sorry, I was a little nervous just now, please give me some time to prepare."


    Seeing her acting like a spoiled child, Sheng Liang laughed and rubbed her hair: "It''s good that you''re fine, then go to sleep, there''s plenty of time in the future."


    "En, good night." The corner of Qi Luo''s mouth hooked up as a pampered smile appeared on his face, but instantly froze after the door closed. His black and white pupils had also returned to their former emptiness.


    Sheng Liang stood at the door for a while. Although he was still a bit worried, if Qi Luo did not say it, he could not force her.


    He told Luo Jie to go and investigate what had happened during the time Qi Luo had gone missing, but there seemed to be an invisible force stopping them. It was as if Qi Luo''s experience had been erased, leaving no trace behind.


    Within the Sang City, who exactly had such great ability?


    Or was it related to that person?


    Sheng Liang sat on the sofa with one hand against his lips. His deep eyes were as deep as a cold pond.


    Sunshine Courtyard district.


    Qiao Xuan woke up early in the morning and walked behind Qiao Nan when she saw him brushing her teeth. She coughed lightly and said lightly: "Sorry, I was in the wrong yesterday.


    When Qiao Nan saw Qiao Xuan in the mirror, he immediately spat out the saliva in his mouth. He turned around and looked at her with his round eyes, and asked: "Why did you cut your hair off?"


    Qiao Xuan scratched his head uncomfortably, "Nothing, just starting from the beginning."


    Qiao Nan creased his eyebrows, then said disdainfully: "Truly insane, for a man, is there a need?"


    Even if she did her best to please someone, in the end, she was not the person he liked. Anything she did would be useless.


    Seeing that Qiao Nan was continuing to brush his teeth, she thought that he would not be angry with her anymore. As he walked, he said: "Hurry up, it''s a peak hour and it''s very crowded on the subway."


    Qiao Nan spat out the water again and ignored the foam that covered his mouth. He turned his head and shouted at Qiao Xuan: "You can''t be so cold-blooded, right? You drive the car yourself, yet you let such a handsome brother squeeze into the subway.


    Qiao Xuan did not turn back, he only waved his hand and said: "You''re the one who said that, you are now a small white-collar worker, you should take the bus to the subway, and also say that you cannot ride in my car, or else others will call you a pretty boy, relying on women."


    Hearing Qiao Xuan''s teasing, Qiao Nan''s face looked like he was constipated. Was this all what he had said before?


    After eating, when Qiao Nan saw Qiao Xuan walking out, he immediately followed him. He even said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, let''s go."


    Seeing him continue to follow her fawningly, Qiao Xuan was both angry and amused. However, she had been teasing him on purpose, so when she saw him sitting beside her and fastening his seat belt so quickly, she didn''t say anything more.


    When he was waiting for a red light on the way, Qiao Xuan unintentionally turned his head and saw a car beside him. The person who sat on the back of the car was Qi Luo.


    Every time he heard her name or saw her, Qiao Xuan would always feel a little jealous in his heart. She was jealous that Qi Luo had once appeared in Sheng Liang''s life so long ago, and had such an important position in his heart.


    "Sis, what are you thinking about? Let''s go." Qiao Nan urged. Behind him, the sound of horns could be heard, but Qiao Xuan was still in a daze.


    Qiao Xuan immediately drove the car away, but she couldn''t help but look at Qi Luo again. Just from this glance, she could tell that Qi Luo was being held hostage by someone, and other than the driver, there were three other burly men sitting on the car with two separate seats on either side of him. Qi Luo, on the other hand, had his head lowered from start to end, a helpless look on his face.


    Qiao Xuan leaned to the side and wanted to take a closer look, but just then, the carriage drove away.


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment. She had wanted to give Sheng Liang a call, but thinking that she had already blacklisted him, and that those people might just be Sheng Liang''s bodyguards for Qi Luo, if she were to find him like this, she would definitely be seen as an excuse to get close to him.

 C140

    Thinking about it this way, Qiao Xuan also gave up on that idea.


    When they were still some distance from the entrance of the company, Qiao Nan got off the car early. From the rearview mirror, Qiao Xuan could see how miserable he was running, as though he was a person who had just squeezed out from the subway. Qiao Xuan laughed unconsciously.


    " It''s that Ghost Genius Mu Liufeng? " Qiao Xuan sat on the chair he was sitting on and turned on the computer. He searched Mu Liufeng''s information for a while, then said, "Then we''ll call the agents of those female celebrities and ask them one by one. We''ll see who has the qualifications to receive one.


    " "This is the first film of Icy Jade, and we must make sure it is sold at the box office. We cannot afford to lose, and as long as the actors are there, Mu Liufeng will make sure it is sold at the box office." She had seen this person''s movies. Every frame, every detail, was so perfect that she had a good reputation amongst the fans.


    " Did you call her agent? " Zhao Xiaowei''s position naturally fit the requirements, but it was said that Zhao Xiaowei was also a woman that was hard to serve.


    " It''s fine now. You can leave first and get the assistant to bring two cups of coffee in. " As Qiao Xuan was speaking, he walked out from behind the desk.


    " What business does Miss Zhao have with me? " Qiao Xuan asked directly.


    " Then why do you still want to accept this movie? If it''s really like you said, the person Sheng Qian likes is me, then wouldn''t he have to use your cover to look for me? " Qiao Xuan felt sympathy for Zhao Xiaowei. Someone who was in the same boat as him would always act like a friend at first sight, so he couldn''t help but remind her.


    " "Then I''ll ask the secretary to talk to your agent about the contract. I don''t know much about it yet." Qiao Xuan laughed embarrassedly.


    "Of course not." She was sure of that.


    Zhao Xiaowei heaved a sigh of relief, but quickly smiled: "So what? I understand Sheng Qian too well, before, he was related to so many women because he doesn''t know who he wanted, but now, he knows, no matter how you reject him, he will never give up, I simply do not have a chance."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to comfort Zhao Xiaowei. She couldn''t even control her own feelings, much less someone else''s.


    However, this conversation allowed Qiao Xuan to know that Zhao Xiaowei was also a person with a personality. Those people who were putting on an act, and throwing their faces towards the reporters, were all exaggerated by the media because they didn''t know what was going on. And for the sake of topic, the management company did not clarify anything, so she herself did not care about it at all.


    The news of Zhao Xiaowei participating in this movie quickly spread, and all kinds of guesses exploded in a flash. There were even some entertainment news that said that it was because Zhao Xiaowei and Mu Liufeng had hidden rules, that was why Mu Liufeng changed the original female lead before the filming started.


    "Sis, sis, quickly come and see, Zhao Xiaowei is searching again." Qiao Nan flipped through the comments while clicking his tongue, "The current Cyber Water Army is really powerful, being able to make a person stink every minute. Look, these people all have the same thoughts, they are all trying to fight for Shang Fei Fei."


    "Who is Shang Fei Fei?" Qiao Xuan was still sitting where he was, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.


    Qiao Nan put down his phone and fiercely rolled his eyes at Qiao Xuan, "Sis, I''m saying that you''re already the CEO of a media company, could you be more concerned about the development of the entertainment industry? Shang Fei Fei is the female lead who was replaced by Mu Liufeng, so those who spoke up for her and those who discredited Zhao Xiaowei must be the people who hired her."

 C141

    Although Qiao Xuan didn''t know much about the entertainment industry, Xu Yi had told her that among the people who scolded Zhao Xiaowei on the internet, some of them were actually hired by Zhao Xiaowei''s management company.


    He even intentionally released pictures of Zhao Xiaowei and Mu Liufeng entering and exiting the hotel, telling the public to discuss about it after lunch. After a period of time, he would explain the various pieces of evidence, making it even hotter.


    I heard that this is their usual method of hype, and they even got her to cooperate.


    When he thought about this, Qiao Xuan felt a headache. He really didn''t know how Zhao Xiaowei managed to stay true to himself, even to this day, in such a chaotic circle of fish and dragons.


    As Qiao Xuan was thinking, his phone suddenly rang. She looked at Sheng Qian''s name on the screen and only answered after hesitating for a moment: "What is it?"


    "Come out, I want to see you." Sheng Qian''s tone was a little overbearing.


    "Now?" Qiao Xuan looked at the time. It was already 9 PM.


    Sheng Qian said with certainty: "Right now, I''ll be at the entrance of your district."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, they had not seen her for a long time, they did not know why he was looking for her, but before she could ask, Sheng Qian had already hung up.


    Qiao Xuan told Qiao Nan that she was going down to buy something, then she put on her hat and thick cotton clothes. When she arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, she saw Sheng Qian''s car parked there, so she walked over and knocked on his window.


    Sheng Qian reached out to the car door and opened it, then said to her: "Get in."


    Qiao Xuan''s hands were still in the pockets of her cotton clothes. She thought for a moment, then said: "If you have something to say, then say it."


    "I have a lot to say. Are you sure you want to keep me like this?" Sheng Qian stared at Qiao Xuan.


    A warm breeze was blowing inside the car, Sheng Qian was only wearing a shirt, the door was open, and the cold wind outside was gushing in.


    Qiao Xuan looked around, the street was completely desolate, and even if pedestrians passed by, they would all be wrapped up, and walk quickly.


    She bit her lower lip and got into the car, not looking at him.


    She wrapped herself up like a ball, and the warm wind in the car made her face turn red.


    Sheng Qian held onto the steering wheel with one hand and looked at her from the side, smiling wickedly: "Aren''t you hot? Take off your clothes."


    These words sounded very ambiguous, not to mention that Qiao Xuan was trying her best to distance herself from him.


    Ever since Zhao Xiaowei had become the focus of public opinion, Sheng Qian, who had gotten involved with her before, naturally became the target of the media''s follow-up reports. Qiao Xuan really didn''t want to make Zhao Xiaowei hate her because of the reporters'' nonsense.


    Qiao Xuan did not move, and even shrunk his neck, burying half of his face in his collar. "If you don''t say it, I''ll be going back."


    "I just missed you, so I came to see you." Sheng Qian smiled and took off her hat, then asked in shock, "You cut your hair?"


    Qiao Xuan was not used to being looked at like this, so she shifted her gaze away and said: "You don''t have to laugh at me, I know I''m not good-looking."


    "Yes, yes, no matter what you do, you look good." Sheng Qian smiled, then began to zip up her cotton garment, "So covering it, if it''s hot, take it off."


    Qiao Xuan was shocked by his sudden action, she immediately pulled on her clothes tightly, preventing him from taking any further actions: "Sheng Qian, don''t go overboard, if you continue to be like this, I will ignore you from now on!"


    Sheng Qian saw that she was really angry, and stopped to look at her: "I''m doing this for your own good, then take it off yourself."


    Qiao Xuan was a little angry, she pushed open the door and was about to get off, but Sheng Qian had grabbed her hat from behind, she turned and shouted: "What do you want!"


    Sheng Qian closed the car door once again and looked her in the eye innocently: "Don''t be angry, I haven''t seen you in a long time and wanted to make you happy. It''s fine if you don''t like me, but let''s get down to business now.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, he did not have time to be angry with Sheng Qian, and immediately shook his head: "You know?"


    Sheng Qian looked at her strangely. "You don''t know? "If you don''t know, then go work for someone else."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to hear his ridicule, so she looked away and asked: "Just say how much you know."


    Sheng Qian stared at her, but he did not say anything for a long time, as if he was deep in thought. After a long while, he finally said: "Actually, I don''t know either, otherwise I would not have come to ask you. I just want to ask your boss if you guys can issue a statement in the name of your company to prove Zhao Xiaowei''s innocence."


    When he said that he did not know, Qiao Xuan originally wanted to get angry at him, but his last sentence made Qiao Xuan stunned. So it turns out that he came for Zhao Xiaowei.


    "You seem to care a lot about her." Qiao Xuan laughed, and thought that he really had no feelings for Zhao Xiaowei.


    Seeing her smile, Sheng Qian immediately frowned: "Can you figure it out? Does this have anything to do with me ignoring her? I just don''t want her to get on the headlines every day because of me."


    Although her words made sense, Qiao Xuan was more willing to believe that Sheng Qian pitied Zhao Xiaowei, and did not want a girl like her to receive such unnecessary injuries.


    Qiao Xuan said in a shallow voice: "You should know more about this industry than me, it''s not the right time to make a statement now, and this matter is handled by their management company."


    "I know. I was just casually saying it, but now I know who I should look for." Sheng Qian sat upright, and said to Qiao Xuan: "I''ll go take care of my business first, I''ll look for you another time to have a good chat with you."


    As he said that, he glanced at Qiao Xuan, who immediately got off the car.


    As Qiao Xuan watched his car disappear into the distance, he couldn''t help but shiver as he stood by the side of the street and immediately ran back to his house.


    Sheng Qian did not return home, but instead went to Sheng Liang''s villa. When Qing Qing opened the door, he saw that it was him.


    "You must be thinking of me, Little Qing Qing." Sheng Qian laughed as he reached out to hug Qing Qing.


    Qing Qing dodged hurriedly and walked over to Sheng Liang who was sitting on the sofa reading a book: "Sir, the Fourth Young Master is here."


    From the moment Sheng Qian entered the room, Sheng Liang had already known about it. He did not even raise his head as he said indifferently: "Right now, shouldn''t you be drinking at one of the fields? Why are you here?"


    "I have something to ask of third brother." Sheng Qian sat on the tea table opposite to Sheng Liang, his face revealing a sly smile.


    "I can''t help you with personal matters, but you should go find your father for official matters. It''s cold outside, so be careful on the road when you leave." Sheng Liang closed the book, stood up and was about to go upstairs.


    Sheng Qian said unhurriedly: "I want Third Brother to call Qiao Xuan and have her make a statement to clarify the scandal between Zhao Xiaowei and Mu Liufeng."


    Sheng Liang''s footsteps stopped, and his brows knitted for a moment. "What are you saying, I don''t understand."


    "Before Qiao Xuan joined the Fei Leng Cui Media Company, you gave me a person without any background information, leaving me with no time to care about this mysterious new company. When I came back to my senses, Qiao Xuan was already your CEO, your calculations were really good." Sheng Qian turned his head to look at Sheng Liang.

 C142

    It was only today that he thought back to when he was having dinner with Qiao Xuan in the dining hall. Sheng Liang and that Mo Lin had purposely let him see them so that he could go check on them and not have the time to pay attention to Qiao Xuan''s movements.


    When he finally understood, he was still unable to expose that Zhao Xiaowei''s situation was probably his plan.


    As expected, Sheng Liang no longer bothered to hide anything from him and directly said: "Since you know, you should know what to do."


    Sheng Qian laughed bitterly: "You, are truly frightening. Anyone can become your pawn."


    "So, it''s best if you don''t spout nonsense. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences are." Sheng Liang''s voice was light, but each word was cold and harsh.


    Sheng Qian looked at his back figure in silence for a long while. He was not Sheng Liang''s match, and he also did not want to fight with him over anything.


    "I won''t tell Qiao Xuan, but she will find out sooner or later. Before that, you should think carefully about what position she has in your heart." Sheng Liang did not want Qiao Xuan to know the truth. It was obvious that with Qiao Xuan''s personality, once he knows the truth, he would definitely leave without a second thought.


    Seeing that he did not speak or move, Sheng Qian stood up and walked towards the door: "I hope that when I watch the news tomorrow morning, I''ll be able to see what I want to see."


    "Cool, are you still not asleep?" Qi Luo suddenly stood at the railing of the second floor, and looked down at Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Qian had already reached the door. Hearing the voice, he immediately looked over and saw a young woman wearing pajamas standing there with a pure expression. His eyes unconsciously narrowed.


    When Sheng Liang turned around to look back, he was already outside the door, and the light in his eyes unconsciously dimmed.


    "Who came just now?" asked as he watched Sheng Liang walk up the stairs to stand in front of her.


    Sheng Liang held her and returned to his room: "Sheng Qian, my brother."


    Qi Luo acknowledged.


    Sheng Liang looked at her as if he had thought of something, and tucked her back into his blanket, then said softly: "Xiao Luo, let''s open up a relationship, in the past I was afraid that you would be in danger, now it''s alright. I want everyone to know, you are my girlfriend."


    The happiness in Qi Luo''s eyes only lasted for a few seconds, and then he quickly shifted his gaze away. I need to discuss this with my dad. "


    Sheng Liang did not suspect anything. Qi Mingyu was, after all, the mayor, and had many considerations. They would have to discuss the pros and cons later.


    Sheng Liang bent over and kissed Qi Luo on the forehead: "Sleep early, good night."


    Qi Luo grabbed onto the quilt horn, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not. Seeing Sheng Liang turning off the light, she slowly closed her eyes.


    Sheng Liang closed the door and walked to the side. He took out his phone to call Fu Yilang and told him that he could now send the clarifications.


    Early in the morning, Qiao Xuan was once again woken up by Qiao Nan. This time, it was even more excessive, he directly pulled up her blanket and shouted loudly, "Sis, stop sleeping, quickly look, the company has released a statement all night, asking the rumors to apologize!"


    Qiao Xuan was disturbed by Qing Meng and wanted to scold him initially. However, when she heard his words, she opened her eyes and saw the enlarged picture on his phone, saying that the recent rumours had caused Zhao Xiaowei a lot of harm and trouble. This was a slander towards Zhao Xiaowei and an infringement on her reputation.


    It was signed, "Fei Leng Cui Media."


    "Sis, when did you let them do it last night?" Qiao Nan looked at her curiously. It seemed that she had read and slept very late last night.


    Of course it was not her, but Qiao Xuan thought of something. What Sheng Qian said before he left, he definitely knew who the company belonged to, if not, no one below her would dare to not obtain her permission to issue such a declaration.


    It seemed like she was the only one who did not know about this. Qiao Xuan just did not understand why she would hide this from him.


    Qiao Nan didn''t know what to do at the moment. She scratched her head, then suddenly reacted, Qiao Nan was still casually sitting on her bed, brushing his phone. She frowned: "Qiao Nan, even if you don''t submit your resignation application, do I have the right to fire you?"


    Qiao Nan looked at her, and with a flattering smile on his face, he quickly jumped off the bed. He even used his hands to wipe the creases on the bed sheets, and fawned on her: "Director Qiao, I promise that there will be no next time. Please be magnanimous." After saying that, he immediately ran out of the door.


    After Qiao Xuan finished washing up, he changed his clothes and went out to eat. He heard Qiao Nan tell his parents, "My sister is currently talking to me like an official every single day. If I knew earlier, I wouldn''t have come to the same company as her."


    "Alright, then you don''t have to go to work today." Qiao Xuan walked over and knocked him on the head from behind, "It just so happens that I don''t need to worry about being seen sitting in my car everyday, and misunderstand your relationship with me."


    "Motherf * cker, do you care about me? Am I her little brother or not!?" Qiao Nan pretended to be angry and shouted.


    Seeing the two of them bickering, Qiao¡¯s father only lowered his head to eat. From time to time, he would look at each other and secretly laugh.


    Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qiao Nan did not say anymore.


    Qiao Xuan''s cellphone rang. When she saw that it was Xu Yi, she immediately found out about the lock and heard Xu Yi saying anxiously: "Boss Qiao, it''s bad, Zhao Xiaowei got called. He is currently in the hospital."


    "What!" Qiao Xuan was startled, and immediately asked: "Who hit her, was she severely injured?"


    "I don''t know the specific situation, but it was Mu Liufeng''s wife who hired this person. Right now, there are a lot of reporters blocking the entrance of the hospital, and there are even some Zhao Xiaowei''s fans. I transferred a pair of security guards from the company over to block them, but I don''t think they''ll be able to hold on for long. Xu Yi sounded exhausted.


    Qiao Xuan thought for a while and said: "I got it, let me think of a way, you let them hold on for a while."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan walking out, Qiao¡¯s mother asked: "You''re not eating anymore?"


    "I''m not eating anymore. The company has an emergency that I have to deal with." Qiao Xuan changed his shoes as he said, "Xiao Nan, go to the company by yourself later."


    Qiao Nan wanted to say that when he was going with her, she was already out.


    Qiao Xuan quickly drove out of the entrance of the residential complex, put on his earphones and called Fu Yilang. "Something has happened to Zhao Xiaowei, go to the hospital downtown in twenty minutes."


    "I know, Director Qiao." Fu Yilang put down his breakfast as he spoke.


    Qiao Xuan did not hang up. She paused for a while and said, "Director Fu, this time, the situation is very serious. It''s better for you to report it to the higher ups."


    Fu Yilang, who was wearing a suit, paused for a moment when he heard Qiao Xuan. Only after a long while did he finally say, "I understand."


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xuan took off his earphones. He was looking forward to see who the boss behind her was.

 C143

    When Qiao Xuan arrived at the entrance of the hospital, she parked the car and coincidentally saw that Fu Yilang had arrived as well. She glanced behind him but didn''t see anyone else.


    Fu Yilang noticed her gaze and immediately said, "The Chairman won''t be able to leave if he has something on his mind. He said that the company will leave everything to Boss Qiao, so there''s no need to ask for his opinion."


    This was not the time for an official speech. Qiao Xuan looked at the reporters and fans, and only said: "You guys can go back first, we will hold a press conference later and reply to the questions of our media friends. Before this, you all will not be able to get any information. As for the fans, you guys can leave behind your cell numbers. After Zhao Xiaowei''s condition stabilizes, we''ll arrange for you to meet with her. "


    The reporters were all whispering to each other, clearly not believing what they were hearing. Someone asked, "Zhao Xiaowei''s company has not come forward to explain anything up till now. Are you sure you have communicated with them?"


    Before Qiao Xuan could answer, Fu Yilang said first, "Regarding this matter, I was just about to tell everyone that Miss Zhao Xiaowei has already signed off with the original agency. Now, she is an artist from our Emerald Jade."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, and he turned to ask softly, "When did this happen?"


    She didn''t know.


    Fu Yilang was still smiling respectfully as he said, "Last night, that company will officially be purchased by us next week."


    Qiao Xuan sneered to himself. It looks like quite a few things had happened last night.


    Ignoring the reaction of these people, Qiao Xuan and Fu Yilang entered the hospital. At the entrance of the operation room, Xu Yi saw them and immediately came over: "Boss Qiao, Boss Fu, you guys are here."


    "How is Zhao Xiaowei?" Qiao Xuan asked, his gaze sweeping over the few people squatting at the corner, where two policemen were questioning them.


    " "What kind of expression is that? Every time I see you, you look like you have nothing to live for." Sheng Qian said unhappily.


    Being called out on the phone early in the morning and then staying in the hospital until now, Qiao Xuan really felt a little hungry.


    Seeing that she didn''t object, Sheng Qian was obviously very happy. He took out his chopsticks and handed it over to her.


    Just by taking a bite, Qiao Xuan already felt a wave of nausea, but in front of Sheng Qian, she could not vomit, so she quickly covered her mouth and swallowed it.


    Seeing her pained expression, Sheng Qian hurriedly poured her a cup of water and said, "Don''t eat if it''s not good, don''t force it."


    When Qiao Xuan saw the cup of water he gave her, she immediately waved his hand, she had a premonition that even if it was just drinking water, she would definitely vomit on it.

 C144

    Sheng Qian was at the side patting her back. After a long while, she recovered her strength, but she still did not dare look at the dishes. She looked to the side and said to Sheng Qian: "Put these away."


    Sheng Qian also never thought that, at first, he had all sorts of good intentions, but after getting into such a state, he immediately kept all the dishes.


    Qiao Xuan felt better, seeing Sheng Qian''s self-reproach, he immediately explained: "It has nothing to do with you, my stomach may not be good for the next few days."


    "Have you seen a doctor?" Sheng Qian asked.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "It''s just a small problem, I''ll just go back and get some medicine."


    "What are you eating? Come, I''ll take you to the hospital" Sheng Qian said as he pulled Qiao Xuan and prepared to leave.


    But before he finished speaking, Qiao Xuan had pulled him back: "Sit down, I have something to ask you. Tell me, who were you looking for last night?"


    Sheng Qian''s face froze for a moment, then he sat down again. With a smile that flickered in his eyes, he said, "For you, I won''t go to that place anymore."


    Qiao Xuan was not really concerned about where he went, she only wanted to know who the hands that she couldn''t see belonged to.


    "The company sent a statement to help Zhao Xiaowei clarify the rumors, and even helped Zhao Xiaowei break the contract with the original management company, and poached her into our company. All of this happened after you told them you knew who to look for." Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Qian and asked, "Who exactly is that person?"


    Originally, Qiao Xuan wasn''t that determined to know, but she suddenly felt that everyone around her knew that it was just her alone who didn''t know. Moreover, that person seemed to have completely gotten rid of her, as if nothing had happened to her.


    "Zhao Xiaowei has cancelled her contract, is she a member of your company now?" Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan in shock, "I don''t know, but this is good too. That broken company in the past was not suitable for her."


    Seeing that he did not answer her question, Qiao Xuan appeared to be helpless. However, Sheng Qian insisted that he did not know and she had no choice.


    After finally sending Sheng Qian away, Qiao Xuan continued to busy herself with her work. She did not have much appetite for lunch, and only got her assistant to bring her a light soup.


    Qiao Xuan originally did not think much of it. She thought that it was because she had been given a new environment and her body was still not used to it.


    However, at night, when they were eating at home, the feeling of having their food overturn the rivers and seas came again when they saw the dishes they loved.


    Qiao Xuan left the table in distress and asked his mother, "Mom, do we still have any stomach medicine at home?"


    "You have a stomachache, let me find one for you." The Qiao¡¯s mother stood up immediately and gave the medicine to her from the drawer.


    Qiao Xuan walked to the side, poured himself a cup of water and was about to take his medicine when he suddenly thought of something. Are you pregnant?


    This sudden conjecture caused Qiao Xuan to jump in fright, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was to be true.


    "Why aren''t you eating?" Qiao¡¯s mother could not help but ask when he saw her holding the cup of water in a daze.


    Qiao Xuan regained his senses, and immediately put down the cup and walked to the door: "This pill has expired, I will go down to buy new ones."


    Qiao¡¯s mother took the medicine and looked, she remembered that she had just bought it, but just as she was about to say it, she saw that Qiao Xuan had already put on his jacket and left in a hurry.


    Qiao Xuan took the elevator down, her heart was in a mess. She hoped that things weren''t as she thought, or else she really wouldn''t know what to do.


    " Haven''t you seen the news? Recently, there have been frequent reports of certain girls giving birth in the toilet, "Qiao Nan laughed and said," It even made me suspect that giving birth to a child is as simple as pooping.


    " What''s wrong with your sister? " Qiao¡¯s mother came over and asked.

    At this time, Sheng Liang was still busy working in the study room. He did not even notice when Qi Luo pushed the door open and walked to his side.


    Qi Luo''s empty eyes seemed to thump with joy, but it was so light that it was almost undetectable.


    "Let''s get married and go abroad, shall we?" Qi Luo said carefully, almost begging.


    Sheng Liang hesitated for a bit, he knew that he shouldn''t have hesitated. If it was the past, when Qi Luo told him this, he would definitely agree without hesitation.


    During the period of time that Qi Luo had disappeared, he had thought about it. If possible, he was willing to give up everything he had in exchange for Qi Luo being by his side.


    But now, Sheng Hua had clearly already entered the prison and he had achieved his goal, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.


    However, he hesitated.


    He could not clearly explain the reason why he could not make a decision, he only felt that he had let Qi Luo down like this.


    Qi Luo still relied on him as if he was the same as before, but in reality, he was no longer the Sheng Liang of the past.


    Sheng Liang held Qi Luo''s hand in his palm and said softly: "Give me a little more time. Once I''ve finished everything, I will definitely, accompany you to anywhere."


    Maybe from the moment he was hesitating, Qi Luo had already understood his intentions. She didn''t say anything, but she did understand.


    So it turned out that there really was no one that would stay where they were and wait for someone like that.


    "I''m going to sleep. Go back to your business." Qi Luo withdrew his hand, and his gaze moved away from Sheng Liang''s face.


    He wanted to explain something more, but Qi Luo had already closed his eyes, so he could only stand up and walk out.


    From under his pillow, he took out his phone and sent a message to a number that said "Ma Men". "I don''t care about anything else, I just want to be with Sheng Liang, you have to ensure his safety."


    Almost the next second, the man came back.


    Qi Luo did not reply for a long time. Actually, she was also very hesitant, she had originally wanted to take Sheng Liang away from the Sang City, far away from the calamity that was about to befall them.


    However, Sheng Liang''s hesitation made her feel cold. She knew that he had a reason in his heart that could move him, and that reason was not her.


    You want him to go with you, he won''t.


    Even though Qi Luo could feel the ridicule from those words, she could not refute them.


    I told you this long ago, the person in his heart right now, is Qiao Xuan.


    Seeing that, Qi Luo immediately turned his hand off and covered his head with a blanket.


    If she had known about this earlier, she would have told Jin Feng Lin to kill Qiao Xuan!


    Qiao Xuan!


    Qiao Xuan woke up the next morning, habitually looked at her watch, then got up to wash her face and brush her teeth. After changing her clothes, she saw that her mother was about to go downstairs with a trash bag in her hand, so she quickly said: "Mom, don''t worry about it, I''ll throw it away, I was just about to go out."


    "You''re not eating again?" Qiao¡¯s mother looked at her worriedly. "How can you be like this?


    Qiao Xuan nodded immediately: "I know, I''m going to the hospital."


    She had to check to see if she was really pregnant before she could make up her mind.


    When Qiao Nan heard their conversation, he immediately ran over and took the trash bag from Qiao Xuan. "I''ll go with you.


    Just as Qiao Xuan was about to refuse, Qiao¡¯s mother said from the side: "Let Xiao Nan accompany you.


    "Let''s go, let''s go." Regardless of whether Qiao Xuan agreed or not, Qiao Nan had already pulled her out.


    When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Qiao Xuan said to Qiao Nan when they needed to get in the car, "I''ll be fine by myself, you should go to work."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan close the carriage door, Qiao Nan was still calm and unhurried. He took out an item from behind him and showed it to Qiao Xuan: "Tell me what this is first."


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and saw that Qiao Nan was holding onto the pregnancy test stick with the two red bars, and her face immediately became pale. She immediately got off the car and walked in front of him, and reached out to grab it: "Give it to me, where did you find it?"


    Qiao Nan dodged her hand and ridiculed: "Your name is not written on it, what are you so nervous for?"


    Seeing his expression, then thinking back to what he had said when they left the room, Qiao Xuan was sure that he did not only just know about it, "Thank you for not telling Mom."


    "If you want to give birth, sooner or later they will know." Qiao Nan''s face did not look good either, as he looked at her doubtfully, "Sheng Liang''s?"


    Qiao Xuan did not answer, but her silence meant that she had tacitly agreed. Qiao Nan frowned helplessly: "Truly a bad fate, then do you want to tell him?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I don''t want to use my children to kidnap him."


    Qiao Nan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Qiao Xuan''s depressed look, he ultimately decided not to say anything.


    She went to the hospital for an examination and came out to confirm that she was pregnant.


    Although he was already mentally prepared, Qiao Xuan was still stunned for a long time when he saw the B Super Single.


    She had the ability and courage to bring up this child by herself, but she really couldn''t stay in the Sang City anymore. Sheng Liang would definitely know the existence of this child.


    Whether or not he admitted the child was his, the process would be excruciating for her.


    Thus, she might as well not let him know, as she would never mention it again.


    "Excuse me, how do I get to the radiology department?" A man stopped in front of Qiao Xuan and asked politely.


    Qiao Xuan raised her head to look and saw the man covering his head with his hands, seeming to be injured. She pointed to the left and said: "Just turn around from there."


    "Can I trouble you to bring me there? I''m very dizzy right now, so I can''t tell where to go." The man seemed to be in pain.

 C146

    Qiao Xuan stood up and was just about to bring this person over, but when he saw this scene, he pulled a nurse who passed by and said: "He can''t find the way, bring him over there."


    "Where are you going? Come with me." the nurse said to the man.


    Watching them leave, Qiao Nan said to Qiao Xuan in a low voice, "If you encounter something like this in the future, you don''t have to worry about it. Who knows where he will bring you to."


    "I''m just asking for directions, you''re thinking too much." Qiao Xuan said absentmindedly.


    Qiao Nan heard her words and immediately became serious: "Ask for directions? As long as you can read the words, you''ll be following the route. Furthermore, there''s a clinic nearby, so he can go there and ask you. There are so many people in the corridor, why do you have to know? "


    Qiao Xuan did not refute him anymore. Maybe Qiao Nan was right.


    She looked at the bag of pills in Qiao Nan''s hand and frowned: "Why so much?"


    "Didn''t the doctor say you had mild anemia? So he prescribed iron for blood, and folic acid, and calcium tablets. It''s good for you and your baby." Qiao Nan pulled her out, "When do you plan to tell your parents?"


    Qiao Xuan sighed to himself. "I haven''t decided yet."


    Even if he wasn''t as conservative as he was before, if word got out that he was unmarried, it would still sound bad. If the neighbors found out, his parents would lose face.


    "Why don''t I check their mouths first?" Qiao Nan was also worried that his parents would scold him for giving him face.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, he was afraid that his parents would be even more angry: "It''s better if I tell them directly."


    They walked to the entrance of the hospital as they talked. Qiao Nan said, "Wait here for a while, wait until I drive the car over. You can come out later."


    Qiao Xuan was not used to being taken care of like that, not to mention that this person was her own brother. In the past, she was the one taking care of him.


    However, this wasn''t a bad feeling.


    Seeing Qiao Nan drive the car to the door, Qiao Xuan walked out. The outside temperature was really different from the inside.


    She tightly wrapped her coat, walked to the side of the car, and suddenly heard Qiao Nan shouting: "Sis, quickly get out of the way!"


    Qiao Xuan was shocked and subconsciously dodged to the side, then saw a car pass by her legs!


    Qiao Nan got off the carriage, ran to her side and checked her up and down: "Sis, are you alright?"


    Qiao Xuan was still a little shaken and said with a pale face, "I''m fine."


    Qiao Nan looked in the direction of the carriage which was driving away and frowned. He knew that this was definitely not an accident.


    When they returned home, their parents were not around. Qiao Nan said to Qiao Xuan: "Are you alright by yourself at home?"


    Qiao Xuan had always treated himself as a woman, she shook her head and said: "I''m fine, go to work, Mom should be back in a while."


    She didn''t stay home because she needed to rest. She just wanted to tell her mother quietly that she was pregnant.


    Qiao Nan did not say anything, and told her to call him if there was anything else, and went out.


    Qiao Xuan turned on the TV, took a pillow and hugged it to his chest, his eyes looking in the direction of the TV, but his mind was in a mess and it was unknown what he was thinking about.


    After a while, the Qiao¡¯s mother came back. Seeing Qiao Xuan sitting on the sofa, he asked: "I''ve been to the hospital, what did the doctor say?"


    "Mom, come here." Qiao Xuan reached out his hand to his mother.


    The Qiao¡¯s mother did not understand and walked over to sit beside her: "What''s wrong?"


    "Mom, there''s something I must tell you," Qiao Xuan said as he paid attention to his mother''s expression.


    Qiao¡¯s mother was momentarily stunned. Only after a long time did he ask, "Who is the child''s father?"


    "Mom, I don''t want to ask this question. Who the father is is not important. What is important is that I am the mother of the child. I will raise him myself."


    Qiao¡¯s mother sighed: "Mother knows that I can''t be your master, but, Hua''er, even if you want to raise the child by yourself, the child''s father, if he has the right to know of the child''s existence, you must at least inform him."


    Qiao Xuan lowered her head. It was not that she had not thought of telling Sheng Liang, but seeing him again, she did not know what to say to him.


    Moreover, if he was with Qi Luo now, he would definitely be very happy. If she appeared again, it would definitely ruin his mood.


    Qiao Xuan did not do anything the whole afternoon. He just sat on the side of the bed and stared blankly into space while holding his phone.


    Actually, even if Sheng Liang had been tricked by her, she still remembered his number.


    However, after hesitating for a long time, she still did not call him. Since she could not be together, why bother calling him?


    After dinner, Qiao¡¯s mother pulled Qiao¡¯s father to help her clean up, and they even closed the kitchen door.


    Qiao Xuan knew clearly in her heart that her mother must have told her father that she was pregnant, so she was prepared to be scolded.


    Qiao Nan sat on the sofa, gnawing on an apple while he watched TV. He turned his head to glance at Qiao Xuan, then suddenly moved towards Qiao Xuan''s side and softly asked: "Sis, you''ve never thought about it ¡­ Kill the child? "


    Seeing Qiao Xuan looking at him with vigilance, Qiao Nan immediately explained: "I''m saying, if you''re really going to be born, then you should be mentally prepared. In the future, not only will it not be good for you to marry a child, you should also be able to drown in the saliva of those people outside."


    Originally, Qiao Xuan did not care about the gazes of outsiders. She was just worried that her father would not accept it.


    "What about you? What do you think?" Qiao Xuan turned and look at Qiao Nan.


    He took a bite of the apple and said lightly, "I don''t know, but this plot is really unlucky."


    he said, and got up and went back to his room.


    Qiao Xuan did not understand the meaning of his words and was stunned. Seeing her father coming out of the kitchen, she immediately stood up.


    Qiao¡¯s father looked at her, sighed, and left without saying anything.


    Qiao Xuan knew that this child''s matter was like a thorn that would not be easily removed from his parents'' hearts. But at least, they did not force her to do anything.


    On the second day when they went to work, Qiao¡¯s mother saw Qiao Xuan changing his shoes and immediately said: "Don''t wear that pair of shoes anymore.


    Seeing that his mother had already placed a pair of flat top boots on the ground, Qiao Xuan''s heart moved.


    Qiao¡¯s mother patted her back and sighed: "Your father and I didn''t sleep last night, we thought about it. Since this child has come, it means that he is fated to be with us. We will help you raise him."


    Although Qiao Xuan knew that his parents had always respected her decision, the fact that they could change their minds so quickly still moved Qiao Xuan. She hugged her mother and couldn''t help but cry, "Sorry."


    Qiao¡¯s mother released her and helped her wipe her tears. She smiled and said: "Don''t say such words, we are family. Hurry and go to work, drive slower."


    "Yes." Ever since Qiao Xuan grew up, he had never coquettishly spoken to his mother again. However, just now, she had actually cried like a child.

 C147

    Just as Qiao Xuan arrived at the company, Xu Yi came in and said to her: "Director Qiao, there is someone here to see you. He said that he is a lawyer hired by the White Bear Film and Television Company, the company that we are about to buy."


    "Is it about the acquisition?" Qiao Xuan asked as he turned on the computer.


    Xu Yi shook his head, "He said he wanted to talk to you about Zhao Xiaowei."


    Qiao Xuan raised his head to look at Xu Yi. "Isn''t Director Fu communicating with Zhao Xiaowei regarding his breach of contract?"


    Xu Yi smiled with a deeper meaning: "I''ve already talked to Boss Fu, but he said that he''s only the Director of the Personnel Department, and this matter is not under his control."


    He really was an old schemer from the office.


    Qiao Xuan more or less understood that Fu Yiliang would definitely not be convinced by her, a CEO who had come down from the sky. He didn''t care about it at all, it was clear that he wanted to see her as a joke.


    "Go and find all of the information on Zhao Xiaowei''s movies and TV shows, media interviews, and all the eight trigrams news on the internet," Qiao Xuan said as he looked at his watch, "Hurry up, I''ll go see that lawyer in twenty minutes."


    "Alright, Director Qiao." Xu Yi immediately went out.


    Qiao Xuan stood up, walked to the french window and pulled open the curtains, unconsciously looking in the opposite direction.


    Although she knew that she couldn''t see Sheng Liang from here, as long as she saw the words'' Golden Age Sky An '', she would still remember the days where she was together with him.


    He could still see it clearly.


    However, those were really just memories. She didn''t want to tell Sheng Liang that she was pregnant, because she was afraid that if she heard his heartless words, she would ruin the last bit of happiness that existed between them.


    Qiao Xuan stood there for a while, feeling that it was about time. She turned around and was about to return to her seat, when she saw from the corner of her eyes that someone had appeared at the place she had been staring at.


    That figure seemed to be Sheng Liang.


    She thought it was just her imagination, when she turned around, Sheng Liang had indeed appeared in the small meeting room.


    She turned her feet, wanting to quietly watch Sheng Liang for a while, but then, she realised, it was not just Sheng Liang, but Qi Luo was following her from behind.


    Qiao Xuan laughed at herself. Why is it that even now, she''s still dreaming?


    Hearing someone knocking on the door, Qiao Xuan regained his senses and said: "Come in."


    Xu Yi came in from outside, holding a stack of documents in his hands, and handed it over to Qiao Xuan with both hands: "Director Qiao, this is the information you wanted, I have already organized it all."


    Qiao Xuan took it and read it. As expected, everything was sorted, she smiled and said: "It''s been hard on you, let''s go see that lawyer."


    Xu Yi nodded and stood to the side, allowing Qiao Xuan to leave first. He noticed that the curtains were not drawn, turned his head and saw Sheng Liang and Qi Luo;


    As for Sheng Liang, who was on the other side, he realised something after Qiao Xuan left, and his gaze unconsciously stopped at her seat for a moment.


    Qi Luo hugged him from behind, and followed his gaze to look over there. She softly asked: "What are you looking at?"


    "Nothing." Sheng Liang turned around and grabbed Qi Luo''s hand gently. Seeing her clear black and white eyes, he felt even more ashamed of himself and asked, "Why did you come to the company?"


    Qi Luo lowered his head, as if he felt wronged and said, "I don''t want to be alone at home. I feel very scared if I don''t see you."


    Perhaps it was because of her terrifying experience that made her feel insecure. Sheng Liang could understand that feeling because he had felt it before.


    "How about you come with me to the company from now on? You don''t need to do anything, just stay by my side." Sheng Liang habitually rubbed her hair.


    She used to have short hair, but after a few years, her hair had grown to her waist.


    Speaking of which, Qiao Xuan seemed to have cut her hair recently. Last time, it was him who asked her to make her hair into curly hair, she didn''t want to have anything to do with him anymore, right?


    That woman was always so rational that even he could look her in the eye. Thus, when he made that decision, he did not consult her because he knew that even if she knew the truth, she would not pester him.


    However, he knew in his heart that this wasn''t fair to her.


    "Cool. My brother said he hasn''t seen you in a long time, so he invited you to go drink tonight. Are you going?" Seeing Sheng Liang in a daze, Qi Luo became displeased.


    It was only when Sheng Liang heard her voice that he realised he was distracted again. He quickly said: "Alright, it''s been a while since we last met."


    Hugging Qi Luo into his embrace, Sheng Liang''s bottomless eyes that were like cold ponds trembled slightly, and then unconsciously looked towards Qiao Xuan''s office.


    Just now, Xu Yi had called him and said that the White Bear seemed to have made a move. They were not willing to be bought, and even did not agree to sign the letter of intent with Zhao Xiaowei.


    However, that tactful Fu Yilang just had to let go of everything at this time and leave everything to Qiao Xuan, who was still not familiar with the community, to deal with.


    Sheng Liang didn''t doubt Qiao Xuan''s capabilities, but she had only just interacted with the entertainment industry after all, so Sheng Liang was a little worried that she wouldn''t have the ability to make a move on him.


    It was because Xu Yi was worried about this that he called Sheng Liang. However, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t look as flustered as he thought.


    On the way to the reception room, Qiao Xuan quickly flipped through all the news related to Zhao Xiaowei. By the time she saw the lawyer, she already had a plan.


    Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a lawyer from Golden City Law Firm, my name is Hu Bo, I was entrusted by White Bear Film and TV Company to you to discuss with you about Ms. Zhao Xiaowei''s unilateral proposal to cancel your contract. " Perhaps, because Qiao Xuan was too young, this middle-aged lawyer had carried a disdainful look since the moment Qiao Xuan had entered the room.


    She didn''t say anything as she walked to the side of the chair. Xu Yi quickly pulled it out for her and she sat down, then said lightly: "Actually, before Lawyer Hu came, I didn''t know about Zhao Xiaowei breaking the contract. I only knew that two days ago, Zhao Xiaowei was attacked by someone from the upper echelons of White Bear Shadow TV."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s sharp eyes looking at him, Hu Bo coughed lightly, and tried to distance himself from the relationship: "White Bear Film TV is only my customer, I don''t belong to their company."


    Qiao Xuan smiled, and corrected her: "According to what I know, your client owed Zhao Xiaowei a total of 32 million yuan within the past year. And after Zhao Xiaowei had requested a few times, he had not paid her. Moreover, your client, Mr. Wei Xinfei, CEO of White Bear Film and Television, had once tried to do wrong to Zhao Xiaowei after getting drunk. With just these two things, even if it was in court, the judge would have sentenced Zhao Xiaowei to unconditionally break the contract with White Bear. When that time comes, after losing the pillar of Zhao Xiaowei, she would be in a notorious situation. The White Bear Shadow TV won''t even be able to sell for half of the price, let alone the penalty fee we gave her. "Mr. Hu, please tell Mr. Wei Xinfei the exact words I said earlier. Considering the pros and cons, I believe he will make the right decision."

 C148

    Hu Bo was immediately stunned. It was clear that before he came, he didn''t know about this at all.


    As Xu Yi watched Hu Bo leave dejectedly, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he had a whole new level of respect for Qiao Xuan.


    "Where is Zhao Xiaowei now? I want to meet her." If White Bear Film and TV were to be adamant about not giving in, they would still have to deal with Zhao Xiaowei in advance.


    Before Xu Yi could reply, he heard someone say from the door: "No need to look for me, I''m here."


    Qiao Xuan turned her head, seeing that Zhao Xiaowei had already walked in, she gestured to Xu Yi, and Xu Yi closed the door and went out.


    "That''s great. I have something to talk to you about." Seeing Zhao Xiaowei pull up a chair beside her and sit down, Qiao Xuan lowered his head and said while flipping through the information in his hands.


    Completely ignoring Qiao Xuan''s official attitude, Zhao Xiaowei put one hand on the table, and leaned towards Qiao Xuan: "I just want to be sure of one thing, do you care about the same person as me?"


    For the past two encounters, Qiao Xuan still did not understand much about Zhao Xiaowei. He had just read a lot of news about her, so Qiao Xuan now completely understood this woman''s casual character.


    Just as her fans had said in the comments, she was someone who came out of a coloring jar and still retained her color.


    Perhaps this was the reason why she had been stuck in the same circle for so long, but didn''t seem to have any friends. After seeing so many swindlers, she only wanted to live by herself.


    Sheng Qian was probably the most important existence in her heart, so when she met him in private, this was the only topic.


    Qiao Xuan was also straightforward, but in front of Zhao Xiaowei, she felt inferior.


    Qiao Xuan put down the documents, and didn''t avoid Zhao Xiaowei''s gaze as he said lightly: "I have a person I like, you don''t need to ask who he is, you only need to know, that he isn''t Sheng Qian."


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at Qiao Xuan and suddenly smiled, "Alright, I accept all of your requests and conditions, and will also cooperate with your arrangements.


    Just as he was about to reach the door, he turned around and stood in front of Qiao Xuan: "Please don''t mind my rudeness, I just care about him too much. I think Qiao Qiao will always understand my feelings."


    How smart was Zhao Xiaowei? Otherwise, with her personality and her position in the entertainment circle, it was unknown how many men she would recruit, but her willfulness also proved that she had extremely high EQ.


    Just that when Qiao Xuan said that, she did not need to ask who the person she liked was, she immediately guessed that Qiao Xuan was just like her, a person who loved but could not.


    That was why she said that Qiao Xuan definitely understood her feelings.


    After Zhao Xiaowei left, Qiao Xuan did not move for a good while. Zhao Xiaowei''s hard work had caused her to waver.


    However, their situation was different. Sheng Qian didn''t have a girlfriend that he had loved for many years, so he still had a chance.


    But she could never replace Qi Luo.


    Thus, what in the world was she still fantasizing about?


    At night at the Cherry Blossom House.


    Sheng Liang walked in wearing casual attire. Seeing Qi Chu sitting on the high chair beside the counter and waving at him, he slowly walked over.


    "Why are you the only one? Where''s Little Luo?" Qi Chu looked behind Sheng Liang and asked.


    Sheng Liang sat on the high chair beside him, and the bartender immediately gave him a glass of whisky. He turned the wine cup in his hands and said: "I want her to stay at home, girls are not suitable for this kind of place."


    "You''re too careful aren''t you? This is my place, who would dare to hit on my sister here?" Qi Chu smiled and took a sip of the wine.


    Sheng Liang still did not look at him, but lowered her head and looked at his wine cup: "Little Luo has been missing for five years, I''m sure that someone has hidden her. In Sang City, who has the ability to hide from us."


    Qi Chu''s finger paused for a moment, as his expression became grave: "How are you so sure that she has always been at the Sang City? Even now, she still hasn''t told you where she went."


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qi Chu: "You definitely haven''t seen the wounds on her back, and the marks on her ankles that have clearly been tied up for a very long time. The first time I ran into her in the hospital, her face was pale white, and her eyes were a little afraid of light.


    "But at that time, we searched everywhere ¡ª"


    Before Qi Chu even finished his sentence, Sheng Liang interrupted him and said, "No, there aren''t any. For example, some clubs and wine cellars."


    Qi Chu took another sip of the wine, his eyes cold. "Don''t let me know who did it."


    "If you find out, let me know." Sheng Liang stood up and tidied her clothes, "I''m not at ease with Little Luo being alone at home. I''ll be going back first."


    "Sheng Liang," Qi Chu called out, "you haven''t drunk your wine yet."


    "Maybe another day." When Sheng Liang finished speaking, he was already at the door.


    Seeing him come out from the bar, Luo Jie immediately walked over: "Young Master Liang ¡­."


    "Let''s get in the car and talk." Sheng Liang took a big step forward, got on the car and asked: "What did you find?"


    Luo Jie shook his head: "This bar doesn''t have a wine cellar nor a basement. Young Master Liang, why would you suspect that Master Qi is actually Qi Luo''s blood brother?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer. He had never told anyone about the kidnapping, but he had seen the face of the person who injected him with insulin. It was Qi Chu.


    Coincidentally, because of his lack of oxygen in his brain at that time, he had temporarily lost his memory, and thus decided to play the trick on him. Hence, he didn''t pretend to lose his memories to Qiao Xuan in order to deceive him.


    Even if he was forced to recover his memories later on, he still had to explain it to Qi Chu, because he could not remember what happened at that time due to the drugs.


    Regardless of whether Qi Chu believed this or not, since he had already escaped from death, he would not give others the same opportunity to put him to death.


    Perhaps because Qi Chu knew all of this, when she was at her wit''s end, she would once again send Qi Luo in front of him.


    Sheng Liang had always suspected that someone had actually arranged everything meticulously when he bumped into Qi Luo in the hospital.


    If that was the case, he seemed to know exactly what Qi Chu wanted to do.


    As for Luo Jie not discovering the wine cellar, he was not surprised. If Qi Chu was not being careful, he would not have only discovered his true identity after so many years.


    When he returned to his villa, Sheng Liang had just taken off his jacket when she appeared out of nowhere and hugged her softly: "What did my brother say to you?"


    Nothing, just a few words." "I''ve set up a Western restaurant on Cang Nan Road. The legal person wrote your name, so I''ll go take a look tomorrow.

 C149

    Sheng Liang gently hugged her and said softly: "What''s mine is yours. That shop, consider it as my birthday present to you in advance."


    Qi Luo was still a little dissatisfied as she came out of Sheng Liang''s embrace and looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you send me off earlier? Don''t you want to celebrate my birthday with me?"


    "No," Sheng Liang didn''t know how to answer so he changed the topic, "It''s getting late, you should go sleep."


    Although Qi Luo was not too satisfied with his attitude, she could see the exhaustion on Sheng Liang''s face.


    Sheng Liang nodded and watched her go upstairs. He stood in his original position for a while, until he saw Qing Qing walking in through the glass door. He pouted his lips and asked unhappily: "What''s wrong?"


    Qing Qing did not look at him either and lowered his head. It was as if he had hesitated for a long time before he finally spoke, "Sir, you should go check on the commander.


    "Is he sick?" Sheng Liang asked while walking out.


    Qing Qing did not answer, but when Sheng Liang turned to look at her, he saw anger in her eyes, and frowned.


    Sheng Liang pushed open the door and walked into the commander''s small house. The commander who was originally lying on the cushion ran over the moment he saw Sheng Liang, although his posture was a little strange.


    Hearing the Commander''s aggrieved cry, Sheng Liang crouched down and gently held onto the Commander''s hind leg with one hand. That leg drooped, and it was obviously fractured: "What is going on?"


    Qing Qing pursed his lips, hesitated a bit and said: "It was because of Miss Qi. When she waved at the commander, the commander did not go over, but instead called out to her.


    Sheng Liang sighed lightly, he caressed the fur on the commander''s body, as if comforting it.


    If only the Miss Qiao was here, the commander would like the Miss Qiao. The Miss Qiao gave it a bath, made it dog food and even brought it to play on the grass. Qing Qing said at the side. The more he said, the more he missed Qiao Xuan, "Sir, can''t I let Miss Qiao come back?"


    Sheng Liang stroked the commander''s hand for a while, then said softly: "Go to sleep."


    Qing Qing still wanted to say something, but seeing Sheng Liang getting up to get the medicine box and help the commander bandage his wounds, the figure of his back looked a little lonely. Just like when Qiao Xuan wasn''t here yet, she turned around and walked out silently.


    Sheng Liang fixed the commander''s broken leg with bandages, looked at it for a while, then asked: "Do you miss her?"


    Commander Wang shouted twice as if he was sure.


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.


    As if he understood something, the commander ignored the injury on his leg and wagged his tail happily, following Sheng Liang out.


    Sheng Liang drove to the outside of Qiao Xuan''s district. Seeing that her window''s light was still on, he took out his phone and was about to call her, only then did he remember that she had pulled him down.


    He got out of the car and grabbed the man who was walking past him. He took the phone from the man and was about to curse at him when he stuffed several hundred yuan bills into the man''s hand. "Use the phone and return it to you later."


    The man looked at the money in his hand and immediately checked if it was real. Then he smiled and moved to the side, "There''s no need to return it, please do so."


    Just as Qiao Xuan was about to turn off the light, she heard a cellphone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello, may I know who it is?"


    "It''s me," Sheng Liang did his best to suppress something, and said with a deep voice. "I''m at the entrance of your residential complex, can I come out for a moment?"


    From the moment she heard Sheng Liang''s voice, Qiao Xuan''s uncontrollable heartbeat had quickened. She immediately jumped off the bed, walked to the window and opened the curtain. She truly saw Sheng Liang standing in the midst of the cold wind, raising her head to look at her.


    There were ten thousand reasons to prevent her from going down, but her body was far more honest than her thoughts. She hurriedly put on a thick coat and ran out of the room with the cotton dragging, not even closing the door behind her.


    Qiao Nan, who was still watching TV in the living room, saw her run out like the wind. He took out the lollipop in his mouth and asked: "Sis, what are you doing?"


    Qiao Xuan did not reply, she had already taken the elevator down the floor very quickly, passed through the small plaza, and ran to the entrance of the small district. However, when she was almost in front of Sheng Liang, she slowed down her footsteps and stopped not far away from him: "What are you looking for me for?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her. Although he would hear reports about her everyday and Xu Yi would send him videos, he still felt that it was a long time since he had seen her standing right in front of him.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang did not answer and only continued to watch her, Qiao Xuan''s face reddened as he lowered his head to tuck in the hair beside his ear: "If there''s nothing else, then I''ll be going back."


    "Qiao Xuan." Seeing her turn around, Sheng Liang called out, "Can you do me a favor?"


    Although it was from an inquiring tone, Sheng Liang didn''t wait for Qiao Xuan''s reply before opening the car door. The commander jumped down from the car, and upon seeing Qiao Xuan, he immediately pounced on her, and started wuwu sounds out loud, as if he was wronged.


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, he touched the commander''s head and looked at Sheng Liang: "What do you mean?"


    "He misses you." Sheng Liang still looked at her without blinking, a smile that even he himself did not realise was revealed in his eyes.


    Although he was talking about the commander thinking about her, Qiao Xuan still felt his face burning when he saw the commander''s gaze. He quickly looked away, but when he looked down, he saw the commander''s leg that was wrapped in bandages: "What''s going on?"


    Sheng Liang did not say who Qi Luo was, but he casually said, "He accidentally fell."


    Qiao Xuan stroked his commander''s fur painfully. "Then, bring it to me ¡­"


    Without waiting for Qiao Xuan to finish speaking, Sheng Liang had already said: "Can you help me take care of it for a while? I''ve been really busy recently."


    He was very busy, but didn''t he have Qi Luo at home? Didn''t he have Qing Qing as well?


    But Qiao Xuan did not expose them, or perhaps they all needed an excuse: "Alright."


    "Thank you." Sheng Liang said politely, but he had already known that this was the result.


    Qiao Xuan brought the commander upstairs, and when they entered the house, seeing that even her parents had come out, she said embarrassedly: "Sorry to disturb you guys."


    Qiao¡¯s mother looked at the commander she was holding and asked: "Whose dog is this?"


    "This isn''t ¡ª" Qiao Nan ran over and cried out in shock.


    Qiao Xuan immediately pinched Qiao Nan''s arm, smiled and said to his parents: "A friend''s home, he has some matters, and needs my help to take care of them for a few days."


    "But, you''re just pregnant. It''s not good to have a dog, right?" The Qiao¡¯s mother said worriedly.


    "It''s only been a few days. I''ll pay attention." Qiao Xuan led the commander to the balcony, and then called out to Qiao Nan, "Xiao Nan, come and help me."

 C150

    Qiao Nan knew what she was going to say as he watched her close the door to the balcony. He leaned on the wall with his lollipop still in his mouth, "I can''t not tell them that the dog is Sheng Liang''s, but do you think it''s really as simple as raising a dog? No matter who he gives it to, it won''t do.


    "Since when did you become so nagging?" Qiao Xuan didn''t listen to what he said seriously at all. He checked the commander''s leg injury and then stuffed the dog rope into his hands, "It''s cold outside, let it sleep in your room."


    Qiao Nan stared dumbstruck as Qiao Xuan pulled open the glass door and quickly followed, "Why? It''s not like I have to raise them!"


    Qiao Xuan turned around and made a silent gesture towards him. "I''m pregnant now, so I can only let you down."


    Seeing that Qiao Nan was still unwilling, Qiao Xuan decided to bring the commander to his room.


    Qiao Nan refused to accept it and said: "How can you do this, let''s forget about raising children for him, you even want to raise dogs for him? Didn''t you not want to have anything to do with him?


    As if he didn''t hear it, Qiao Xuan rummaged through Qiao Nan''s wardrobe and found an old blanket to spread on the ground. He then called out to the commander, gently patting its head: "From now on, you will sleep here."


    Qiao Nan watched from the side, flabbergasted. Qiao Xuan was not like this in the past, how did he become so independent now?


    His actions were exactly the same as Sheng Liang''s!


    "I don''t want to sleep in the same room as a dog. Take it away!" Qiao Nan strongly protested.


    Qiao Xuan stood up, his face darkened: "Do you still want to work at the company?"


    What, she even tried to put on the airs of a superior, but what could he do about it?


    Seeing that Qiao Nan was unwilling but helpless, Qiao Xuan comforted him by patting his shoulder. "Don''t worry, it won''t stay here for long."


    Qiao Nan stood there without moving, and only glanced at Qiao Xuan: "Are you sure that he did not plan this time, Sis, do not be fooled by him again."


    Qiao Xuan had already reached the door, but her hand stopped at the doorknob: "I know, I know what I''m doing."


    Closing the door, Qiao Nan looked at the commander lying on the blanket, and sighed: "When a woman meets love, her IQ is indeed negative."


    In truth, Qiao Xuan had not left the room, so she had heard Qiao Nan''s words. It was just that, was it love, or was it her one love?


    She understood Qiao Nan''s worry, and she also knew that she should not continue getting entangled with Sheng Liang.


    However, there were some things that he could not control. It was like a moth flying into a flame. Even though he knew that it would be destroyed, he still threw himself at it without a care for his own safety.


    But at least, she still had a bottom line. Right now, she was simply using Sheng Liang as the father in her womb to help him.


    Unconsciously, she stroked her stomach, which was still very flat. Even now, she still couldn''t believe that there was a little person stubbornly growing up there. Life was truly too magical.


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan was awoken by the barking of a dog. Accompanying him was Qiao Nan loudly roared, "Get out of here, get out, otherwise, I''ll braise you!"


    Qiao Xuan was not really sane initially, but when she heard Qiao Nan''s words, she immediately woke up. She forgot that Qiao Nan was very angry about getting up.


    Qiao Xuan pushed the door and entered Qiao Nan''s room. He saw Qiao Nan standing on the bed, holding onto a pillow, with his hair like a chicken nest, glaring at the commander who was still shouting at him.


    She quickly called out, "Commander, come here."


    The commander, hearing her voice, came running up, his leg not as crippled as it had been the day before.


    When Qiao Xuan closed the door, he said to Qiao Nan: "I''m sorry, it was my mistake. I gave you a day''s leave to go back to sleep."


    Fortunately, his parents were not home, so they should be going for their morning practice. Qiao Xuan quickly changed his clothes and pulled the commander downstairs to let him clean himself up in a tree hole in the greenery.


    Qiao Xuan was prepared to drag it along and wander around when this fellow suddenly saw a Samoya and ran over happily. Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to let go of the dog rope and had no choice but to run with it.


    The Samoyed''s owner''s face immediately turned green when he saw the commander running over and sniffing around behind his dog. Naturally, he spoke in a bad tone to Qiao Xuan: "This is your dog, why are you so rude? We are girls!"


    Qiao Xuan apologized repeatedly, but the commander who had always been obedient couldn''t pull him back no matter what.


    Seeing this, the Samoyed''s owner''s face became even more unsightly, "Why don''t you give it an sterilization operation and just run around the district like that? How many dogs will it harm?!"


    "Yes yes yes, I know. Sorry about that." Qiao Xuan pulled back the Commander forcefully and brought it back with him. This guy kept on calling unwillingly.


    After finally getting back to his home, Qiao Xuan was so tired that he was gasping for breath. However, the commander still called him from the living room.


    Qiao Nan was brushing his teeth, but when he heard the sound, he thought something was wrong. He walked out with his mouth full of foam: "What''s it called?"


    Qiao Xuan drank some water and sat on the sofa: "I probably want to find a girlfriend now."


    Qiao Xuan spoke in a euphemistic manner, but Qiao Nan still spat out a mouthful of foam: "I''m still single, why the rush for a dog like him."


    Qiao Xuan curled his lips, thinking back to the words that the female neighbor had said to him, he asked Qiao Nan: "Should the commander undergo sterilization?"


    Qiao Nan looked at her and did not say anything for a long time. Seeing that Qiao Xuan was still waiting for his answer, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom: "You shouldn''t have asked me this."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the commander. It was calling him tired, it sat on the ground and stuck its tongue out.


    Letting him die was a decision that he should ask its owner.


    After eating, Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan went back to the company together. Along the way, they waited at a red light, but Qiao Xuan realised that she had been looking at the rearview mirror outside the entire time. She had also looked at the rearview mirror, but she could not see anything.


    "Of course it''s to see beauties." Qiao Nan laughed, and turned his head, no longer looking outside.


    There was a car following them from the back, Qiao Nan would not make a mistake, and there were also the people who asked Qiao Xuan for directions at the hospital earlier, they must have had a purpose to get close to Qiao Xuan.


    However, he didn''t want to make Qiao Xuan panic before he found out about the situation. She wasn''t alone right now, so being nervous wasn''t a good thing for a pregnant woman.


    When Qiao Nan lowered her head to look for things in the storage box, Qiao Xuan looked behind, but she did not realise that the carriage had been behind them ever since they had left home.


    Qiao Xuan vaguely guessed something. It seemed that the White Bear was not satisfied and wanted to wait for the chance to take revenge on her.


    Qiao Xuan did not drive her car into the underground parking lot. She knew that the place was not safe, so she parked her car in front of the company, walked in, and gave the keys to the car to the security officer to help her park her car.


    "When will the White Bear Film and Television officially take over?" Upon entering the office, Qiao Xuan asked Xu Yi who had followed in.

 C151

    "I was just about to report this to Director Qiao," Xu Yi said in his usual gentle tone. "They want us to keep their original employees after we purchase them."


    Qiao Xuan was already sitting on her seat. Hearing that, she sneered: "That''s impossible, film and television companies aren''t basic factories, who can guarantee that there are any business spies among the people who want to stay? It''s too troublesome to filter them one by one, so it''s better to just not leave any."


    Xu Yi gradually became startled when he heard it, but it was not because he felt that Qiao Xuan''s methods were cold, it was because a shopping mall was like a battlefield, it was understandable for him to be more cautious.


    Just that, he had reported it to Sheng Liang just now, and the replies he had received were exactly the same as what Qiao Xuan had said!


    Seeing his expression, Qiao Xuan asked lightly: "Do you think that this isn''t appropriate for me to do this?"


    It didn''t mean anything. Qiao Xuan was really asking for Xu Yi''s opinion, since he was more experienced than her.


    Xu Yi regained his senses, and immediately shook his head: "No, no, I will go and reply to them."


    "Could I trouble you to get the secretary to make a cup of coffee?" Qiao Xuan asked halfway, thinking that drinking coffee now was not good for the baby, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, it''s alright now, you can go now."


    Xu Yi looked at her suspiciously, then closed the door and went out, getting the secretary to warm a glass of milk for Qiao Xuan to take in.


    He was about to call the white bear when the building''s security manager walked over and said, "Assistant Xu, do you have time now? Please follow me to the surveillance room. There''s something up."


    Xu Yi put down the phone and followed the security manager downstairs. He knew that it was definitely not an ordinary question, otherwise the security manager would not directly look for him.


    It was a video surveillance footage of the company''s entrance. Xu Yi saw Qiao Tuo park his car outside and enter the company. A car by the side of the road stopped and stayed there for a long time. Clearly, he had followed Qiao Hua here.


    "I saw the surveillance from a few days ago. This car also followed Director Qiao''s car to the underground parking lot." The security manager looked at Xu Yi with a serious expression.


    When Qiao Xuan just arrived, the number of people he had offended could be counted on one hand. Xu Yi naturally knew what he was doing, so he patted the security manager''s shoulder and said: "Call the police."


    Xu Yi walked out of the surveillance room into a secluded corner, took a look at his surroundings, and then dialed Sheng Liang''s number: "Young Master Liang, Boss Qiao has been followed. I''ve already told them to call the police, do I still need to do anything?"


    Sheng Liang was in a meeting at that time, and upon hearing Xu Yi''s words, he quietly went out through the back door and stood at the side of the corridor, and said in a deep voice: "Protect Qiao Xuan well, you don''t have to worry about anything else."


    "I understand, Young Master Liang." Just as he was about to hang up, Xu Yi suddenly said, "Young Master Liang, Boss Qiao, she ¡­"


    "Hmm?" Sheng Liang paused for a moment.


    Xu Yi originally wanted to say that Qiao Xuan''s health wasn''t very good recently, and his face had always been very pale, but Sheng Liang only said that he was going to report on matters related to work. He didn''t know whether or not he should talk about Qiao Xuan''s private matters, and based on Sheng Liang''s tone, it seemed that he wasn''t really that concerned, so he swallowed his words.


    After hanging up, just as Sheng Liang was about to enter the conference room, he heard his phone ring. He subconsciously looked at his phone, which was still in his hand.


    Sheng Liang reacted for a while, only then did he remember that it was the phone he bought from someone else. When he went back last night, he originally wanted to throw it away, but he picked it up in the morning.


    Luo Jie said that there seemed to have been someone who wanted to harm Qiao Xuan recently, and Xu Yi''s words just now proved this point, but he knew Qiao Xuan''s little arrogance. She had blacklisted his number, so she wanted to cut off all contact with him, so even if there was something wrong, she probably wouldn''t call him.


    Sheng Liang took out the phone. Seeing that it was indeed Qiao Xuan, she should be safe since he had just called her. Then, did she hear what Xu Yi had said to him?


    Sheng Liang hesitated, but still connected to the call. He heard Qiao Xuan ask: "Is it Sheng Liang?"


    "I am, what is it?" "No," he said.


    His tone was flat, causing Qiao Xuan to not feel that much pressure. "Mn ¡­ "I have something to discuss with you, it''s about the commander. If you can''t pick him up soon, can I take him for sterilization? There are a lot of dogs in our district, so there''s a lot of trouble when he goes out."


    Sheng Liang had not considered this issue before, the courtyard in the house was enough for the commander to run around, but as for Qiao Xuan, I am sure we can''t keep him at home forever, he paused for a bit and said: "Since it''s up to you, you can make the decision yourself, I have no objections."


    "Alright." Qiao Xuan said, but did not immediately hang up, as though he was hoping for something.


    "Well, I''m in a meeting." Hearing her silence, Sheng Liang said one sentence.


    Qiao Xuan immediately said: "Sorry to bother you." Then he hurriedly hung up.


    Holding the phone, her heart calmed down after a while. She thought that she really could forget about Sheng Liang and calmly face him, but it turned out that she had overestimated herself. Just hearing his voice was enough to make her heart beat wildly.


    Qiao Xuan laughed at herself. From the looks of it, she had not cultivated enough.


    When someone knocked on the door, she immediately put down her cell phone and opened the folder in front of her. "Come in."


    Someone walked in, but did not say anything. Qiao Xuan raised his head, and upon seeing that it was Qiao Nan, he frowned: "During business hours, didn''t you want to keep your distance from me?"


    "I have something important to tell you," Qiao Nan had already walked to the front of her desk, lowered his voice and looked at her, "There''s something wrong with the owner of the White Bear Film and Television."


    Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Xuan asked with a serious tone unconsciously, "What problem?"


    "That Wei Xinfei. Someone saw him overseas and said he''s settled there now." Qiao Nan indicated with his eyes towards Qiao Xuan, which meant that the fellow probably wouldn''t come back anymore.


    Qiao Xuan frowned, "But our acquisition plan is still in order right? Although we have not signed the contract yet, but we have not heard of anyone wanting to buy it, and they have not received the money. Why is Wei Xinfei in such a hurry to go overseas?"


    Qiao Nan spread out his hands: "This is what I''m worried about, I''m afraid this is another person''s scheme."


    "Whose conspiracy?" Qiao Xuan casually asked.


    Qiao Nan realized that he had said too much. Even now, Qiao Xuan did not know that Sheng Liang was this company''s chairman, and it was not the time for her to know about it either. He replied carelessly, "I just told you not to know.


    "That''s not something you should be concerned about. You''re just a small employee, yet you came straight to my office. Aren''t you afraid of attracting criticism?" Qiao Xuan looked at him, amused.

 C152

    Qiao Nan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and quickly walked out: "No matter what others say, Sis, remember, I love you."


    Seeing his crafty eyes on her before he opened the door and left, Qiao Xuan knew that he must be planning to do something bad. It would be best if it didn''t have anything to do with her, otherwise, she might really kick him out.


    Just as expected, when Qiao Xuan went to the conference room to prepare for the meeting, he heard a few female employees discussing how they were doing.


    Especially after hearing that Qiao Nan changed his surname to the same surname as hers because he wanted to court her, Qiao Xuan almost vomited blood.


    That fellow Qiao Nan, in order to not let others talk about his relationship with her, he really did hold nothing back!


    Actually, the meeting wasn''t that important, she was just listening to the people below reporting their work to her and the plans of the various departments.


    It was almost the end of the year, and Fu Yilang had brought up the issue of year-end benefits. Before she had even said anything, the commotion below had already reached its climax, with each of their respective reasoning causing Qiao Xuan''s ears to vibrate to the point that it was about to burst.


    However, this was all secondary. She didn''t think that this would take so long. Her stomach started to churn again, but she couldn''t show it in front of so many people. She could only endure it.


    Xu Yi, who was closest to her, saw that she had been pressing on her chest the entire time. With a pale face, he asked softly: "Director Qiao, are you unwell?"


    Qiao Xuan wanted to forcefully hold on and shake his head, but he could not bear it any longer, and nodded.


    Xu Yi looked at the supervisors who were still arguing endlessly, and said to Qiao Xuan: Why don''t you let Chief Fu manage the meeting, and I''ll send you to the hospital?


    Compared to Fu Yilang, Qiao Xuan trusted Xu Yi more. Furthermore, Xu Yi was her administrative assistant, so she had the authority to manage the meeting in her place. She said to the people below: "I have some matters to attend to, I will need Assistant Xu to manage the discussion."


    "Boss Qiao ¡­" Xu Yi looked at her in shock. This decision made him a little flustered.


    Qiao Xuan gave him a comforting look, then pretended to be calm and walked out.


    Once he closed the bathroom door, Qiao Xuan could no longer hold back. He laid down on the side of the sink, puked until he was a mess and even started to cry.


    She knew it was an early pregnancy, but she didn''t know it would be so intense, so painful. Was the child protesting that she didn''t care enough about him?


    Someone patted her shoulder from behind, causing her to jump in fright. When she turned around, she saw that it was a cleaning lady holding a tissue for her. "Girl, are you pregnant? You''re vomiting so much that you have to go to work."


    Qiao Xuan had just arrived at this place, and the cleanliness wouldn''t recognize her. She took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth: "Thank you."


    "All you little girls only want a good figure and you don''t eat properly. Look at you, you''re very thin, and this is bad for children. You have to eat more to be healthy."


    Listening to Aunt Purity''s words, Qiao Xuan only smiled, "I got it, Aunt, I''ll go out first."


    "Look at how sick you are. You should buy some sour stuff like plums to eat to suppress it." The cleaning lady said from behind as she saw her open the door.


    Qiao Xuan secretly noted it down. Since it was noon, she went to the supermarket next to the company and bought a big bag of snacks. When she was about to check out the bill, she realized that she had forgotten to bring her purse.


    She was about to put them back when she heard someone say, "How much do I owe her?"


    Qiao Xuan raised her head. Seeing that it was Fu Yilang, she had a feeling that she couldn''t explain it, but she still said, "Thank you. I''ll return it to you when we get back."


    "Isn''t it too formal for Director Qiao to say that?" Fu Yilang''s smile was a bit greasy.


    Ever since Zhao Xiaowei''s incident, Qiao Xuan''s opinion of this person became like that of an old cunning fox, so he unconsciously started to reject him in his heart.


    After settling the bill, Fu Yilang took the initiative to carry the shopping bag over. Looking at the contents, he smiled and said, "No matter how strong CEO Qiao is, he''s still a girl."


    Knowing that he meant that her buying snacks did not match her image, Qiao Xuan did not retort, as he was afraid that he would see more stuff when she said: "Is Director Fu here to buy things too, why haven''t I seen your things?"


    "Buy cigarettes." Fu Yilang patted his pocket with a smile.


    People in his position usually wouldn''t buy cigarettes in this sort of place. They needed a higher grade to identify themselves.


    However, Fu Yiliang did not seem to care about that. He was a very good person and could tell from the welfare plan that he proposed. To put it bluntly, it was for the benefit of himself.


    Qiao Xuan was quiet for a moment, just as he was about to walk to the entrance of the company, Fu Yilang coughed lightly and said: "Boss Qiao, what do you think of my suggestion?"


    After saying that, Qiao Xuan didn''t have enough time to react, but she quickly found out what he was referring to. She replied with a smile: "Although CEO Fu''s words are very reasonable, but only in terms of qualifications, it makes those who come late feel wronged. What does Xu Yi say?"


    Fu Yiran smiled meaningfully but did not reply.


    Qiao Xuan knew that Xu Yi must be thinking the same thing as her. She sunk to the bottom of her heart: "How about this, we''ll discuss this when we have time, and see if there''s a compromise."


    "Alright." Fu Yi Lang immediately smiled happily and pushed open the revolving door, allowing Qiao Xuan to enter first.


    However, there was no compromise in this matter. It would definitely be unfair.


    After asking the secretary to make an appointment for her at a pet hospital, Qiao Xuan returned home early in the afternoon and took the commander with him to undergo sterilization. The doctor gave it a general anesthesia.


    To coax it, Qiao Xuan brought it to a pet shop and bought it Elizabeth Circle. He also bought some delicious food for it.


    Qiao Xuan was just about to give it the bone recommended by the shop assistant, when he heard that other customers were coming in, the shop assistant went to greet them. Qiao Xuan could still continue to tease the commander.


    "Sir, Miss, may I ask what you need?" the clerk asked enthusiastically.


    "Are there any smaller dogs? Be a bit more docile." the man asked.


    When Qiao Xuan heard this voice, her heart trembled. She turned around and saw that the two people who just entered were Sheng Liang and Qi Luo.


    Fortunately, there was something blocking them and they hadn''t discovered her presence yet. Qiao Xuan hesitated on whether or not he should avoid her.


    When the shop assistant brought them to see the dogs, he was just about to pass by Qiao Xuan. Furthermore, when the commander saw Sheng Liang, he immediately called out, and both Sheng Liang and Qi Luo''s gaze landed on him.


    "Commander?" Qi Luo seemed to have understood something as he looked at Sheng Liang, "You said that the friend who gave the Commander as a gift is her?"


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan, and nodded: "En, I have told you about Miss Qiao living at home, the commander is more familiar with her, so you can rest assured that I will take care of her."

 C153

    "I still like the commander. Let''s take him home." Qi Luo looked at Sheng Liang with his two big eyes, with an innocent expression.


    Although Sheng Liang had told her to take care of the commander last night, but after hearing what Qi Luo had said just now, Sheng Liang had actually planned to give it to her.


    Qiao Xuan did not insist on raising a dog, but seeing Qi Luo''s attitude, she suddenly understood one thing. She instinctively grabbed onto the commander''s dog rope and listened to what Sheng Liang had to say.


    Qi Luo was dragged out by Sheng Liang, but she suddenly shook him off, "No, I want the commander! We raised the commander together, so why did you give it to someone else without my permission? "


    Sheng Liang frowned a little helplessly. "Xiao Luo, stop messing around, I''ll buy you a better one."


    But Qi Luo refused, even going past Sheng Liang and walked towards Qiao Xuan, wanting to snatch the commander away from his hands.


    The commander obviously didn''t know what was going on. He tilted his head, stuck out his tongue and looked at them, but when Qi Luo suddenly got close, he let out a few sounds as if he was on guard.


    Qiao Xuan placed his hands behind his back and blocked the commander, then looked at Qi Luo and said: "The injury on the commander''s leg was caused by you, right? Miss Qi, since you were the one who grew up, how could you do it."


    Qi Luo was startled for a moment, but didn''t even bother to respond to Qiao Xuan''s question, instead directly squatting down and pulling the collar on the commander''s neck. After realizing that the commander had been sterilized, she immediately stood up and glared at Qiao Xuan: "The commander is mine, who gave you the rights to operate on him!"


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to refute her, Sheng Liang had already walked over and grabbed Qi Luo''s shoulders: "It''s my consent. Xiao Luo, I''ll tell you when we get back."


    Qi Luo was obviously angry, she struggled hard for a moment, and the clothes on her shoulders were ripped apart, revealing the fireworks on her shoulder.


    Sheng Liang''s hand stiffened in midair, and didn''t speak for a long while.


    Qi Luo realized something and immediately pulled up his clothes, then turned and walked out.


    "Little Luo!" Sheng Liang immediately chased after her and held her back at the door: "I''m sorry."


    "You''ve let me down. Do you know how the injuries on my body came about? It''s because of you, because I don''t want to sell you out, so I''d rather be tortured! I thought you would still be as good to me as you were before, but that isn''t it, when I was suffering for you, there was actually someone else in your heart, Sheng Liang, I hate you! " Qi Luo said coldly, his eyes red.


    Sheng Liang knew all that she had said, so when he saw those fireworks, he felt a deep stabbing pain in his heart.


    He turned around and returned to the shop, walking in front of Qiao Xuan, his voice low: "I''m really sorry, I''m afraid I have to bring the commander back."


    Until just now, Qiao Xuan was still secretly happy in her heart. She was very glad that Sheng Liang was willing to protect her in front of Qi Luo, but at this moment, it was as if her heart had suddenly dropped to the bottom of an ice-cold valley.


    Qiao Xuan did not remember how Sheng Liang took the Commander away, nor did she know how she got home.


    "Didn''t you perform sterilization on the dog? Where''s the dog?" Qiao Nan asked as he saw her coming back alone.


    "I''ve lost it." Qiao Xuan said casually. If Qiao Nan knew what happened, he would definitely say that she was useless.


    Qiao Nan was still watching the TV, laughing as he said, "So what if it''s lost, I don''t like it anyway. Sigh, Sis, Mom and Dad have already left us to the outside world. Hurry and cook, I''m going to starve to death. "


    Qiao Xuan heard his complaints and slowly walked into the kitchen. However, the matter with the commander still made her feel uncomfortable, so she took off her apron and pulled Qiao Nan: "Go out and eat. I''ll treat you."


    "It''s that good," Qiao Nan said in disbelief. "Whether or not I want to change into more formal clothes, I still have to be a bit more particular when going to high-end restaurants."


    No matter how long-winded he was, Qiao Xuan had already pulled him outside, and did not go too far. They arrived at a very famous Chinese restaurant near the small district.


    "Do as you please, I''ll give you this privilege today." When Qiao Xuan''s mood was bad, he liked to fill the bowl with delicious food. Although he still didn''t have much appetite, he could make her feel better by vomiting.


    Qiao Nan naturally did not stand on ceremony with her, he had ordered all of the signature dishes here. Seeing the waiter order, he laid on the table and smiled obsequiously at Qiao Xuan, "Sis, how nice would it be if we were not related by blood, then I can chase you."


    "F * ck off." Qiao Xuan glared at him disdainfully.


    While the two of them were talking, no one paid attention to them. At a table not far from them, someone took a photo with his cell phone and immediately stood up to leave.


    However, just as that person left the restaurant and was about to get on the car to leave, he was stopped by someone.


    Luo Jie placed a hand on the man''s shoulder, as he smiled and said: "Let me see what you shot just now."


    That person''s face turned ugly and he dodged his hand. "Who are you? Go away."


    Luo Jie exerted a little more strength, twisted that person''s arm and stuffed him inside the carriage. He then sat on the carriage and closed the door as well, "Take it out yourself, don''t force me to make a move."


    The man looked at him nervously. He slowly took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked the lock. After handing it over to Luo Jie, he quickly gave him a number.


    When Luo Jie wanted to stop him, the photo had already been sent over, he immediately snatched the phone over, wanting to see who he sent it to, the man took the chance to open the car door and run.


    Luo Jie did not chase after him, since he would not be able to get any information from him, he was obviously contacting his employer through the internet, so much so that he would not even know if the other party was male or female.


    Luo Jie let the other people continue to protect Qiao Xuan in secret, thus he went to Sheng Liang''s villa by himself.


    Sheng Liang watched as Qi Luo fell asleep before he closed the door gently and stood at the doorway, letting out a sigh of relief that was barely audible.


    Luo Jie had been waiting outside for a while, and when he saw Sheng Liang come out, he walked over and said: "Young Master Liang, we''ve discovered something new. Someone was secretly taking photos of Miss Qiao, but I''m sure that it shouldn''t be those people who have been looking for an opportunity to make a move these past few days."


    Sheng Liang turned around and walked towards the direction of the study, saying, "I know."


    Luo Jie followed Sheng Liang into the study room and showed his phone to Luo Jie, "It''s Fu Yiliang."


    Luo Jie took a glance and confirmed that it was the scene where Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan was joking around. However, from this angle, it looked like a couple.


    Before he could voice out his thoughts, he saw that the photo in the back was actually Qiao Xuan and Xu Yi.


    Seeing his surprised expression, Sheng Liang sat down and sneered: "Fu Yilang told me that Qiao Xuan''s private life is a mess. Not only is he ambiguous with Xu Yi, he even goes in and out of the office with a small employee and is extremely intimate.

 C154

    This time, Luo Jie understood, the person Fu Yilang was talking about was the company''s staff, he was Qiao Nan, he was really too eager for quick results, in order to hurt Qiao Xuan, he was too anxious, he thought Sheng Liang would believe him after taking a few pictures?


    Actually, as long as one thought deeper into the matter, they would be able to understand the relationship between Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan. It was because Fu Yilang was too willing to believe that they were doing it in an ambiguous manner, so he did not suspect it at all.


    "Then how do we deal with this matter? Fu Yilang can''t stay in the company anymore, right?" Luo Jie asked tentatively.


    "We can''t," Sheng Liang said as he pressed a crooked finger against his lower lip. "But he knows too many things about us, so it''s not safe for us to leave it outside."


    Luo Jie nodded: "That''s true, then how does Young Master Liang plan to settle it?"


    "Send him abroad. You can go now. Don''t let him contact anyone before he and his family board the plane." Sheng Liang looked at the time, took out a card from the drawer and gave it to Luo Jie, "There''s 5 million inside, at least within two years, make sure he doesn''t go back to Sang City."


    Luo Jie acknowledged, and immediately went to complete the task.


    He knew that this matter could not be delayed, and had to send Fu Yiliang away overnight. Otherwise, if this news leaked out, Sheng Liang would get into trouble.


    He brought a few people and quickly arrived at the upscale district that Fu Yilang lived in. They couldn''t enter without a floor card, so Luo Jie called Fu Yilang from below.


    When Fu Yilang was in the washroom, his forehead was covered in sweat. It was only now that he realized that Qiao Xuan could not move because he was too anxious and had ended up poking a hornet''s nest.


    "Ten million. Give me the ten million and I''ll tell you Sheng Liang''s secret." Fu Yilang said with a trembling voice.


    The mysterious voice paused for a moment before replying, "Alright, I''ll call your account right now."


    Listening to the other party hang up the phone and Fu Yilang washed his face, he went out of the washroom and went straight to the window. He pulled open the curtain a little and saw that Luo Jie and a few other people were downstairs.


    The phone suddenly rang, and he took a look. It was Luo Jie''s, he knew what they were trying to do and tried his best to calm down: "I''m Fu Yiliang, what''s the matter, Assistant Luo?"


    "It''s nothing. We just happened to be eating outside Director Fu''s house. Come, let''s have a drink together. We haven''t had a drink together in a long time." Luo Jie raised his head and saw that Fu Yiliang''s light was still on.


    Fu Yilang did not refuse. "Alright, wait for me for a moment. I''ll come down after I change my clothes."


    He understood that he still needed Luo Jie to ensure his safety. The mysterious person who called him would not be able to give him any guarantees.


    While he changed his clothes, he waited for the man to transfer the money to his account. His heart felt as if it were being roasted over a fire.


    He heard a beep and looked at his phone. As expected, it was a notification for his bank card to be transferred to his account. He then immediately received a call from that number just now.


    In fact, he never thought of betraying Sheng Liang, but Qiao Xuan''s descent caused him to feel a sense of danger, especially when his suggestion wasn''t approved. He felt that he was about to lose its value, which was why he wanted to show off in front of Sheng Liang.


    It was a mistake, but there was no point in saying it now.


    He told that person everything that he knew and even pretended as if nothing had happened as he went down to see Luo Jie.


    Until he sent his family on the plane, Luo Jie did not sense anything amiss. On the way back, he called Sheng Liang and said: "Done, Young Master Liang."


    "I know." After hanging up, Sheng Liang looked at the time, it was almost 3 in the morning.


    Recently, he had had mild insomnia, and would wake up if he made even the slightest noise. After that, he would not be able to sleep for a long time.


    The night was so quiet that he thought he heard the commander''s soft groan. He got out of bed, put on a coat, and went out.


    The commander wearing the Elizabeth Circle had already lost interest after returning from the pet shop. Even if he saw Sheng Liang enter, he only glanced at him for a bit before lying on the ground again, letting out whimpering sounds of grievance.


    Sheng Liang walked over and saw that the dog food in the bowl beside him had almost not been touched.


    Perhaps the dog''s reaction was sharper than that of a man. It knew exactly who it disliked, and it did not try to hide its feelings.


    As for humans, even they would deceive themselves. There were some things that one knew the truth but still didn''t want to admit it.


    He sat on the ground and rubbed his fingers against his commander''s fur, but his eyes were as cold and indifferent as water.


    In the morning, when Qing Qing came in to feed the Commander, he was startled to see Sheng Liang: "Sir, when did you come down?"


    She woke up early, why didn''t she see Sheng Liang going downstairs?


    Sheng Liang stood up from the ground, his legs were so numb that he almost couldn''t stand steadily. He wanted to go over to help him, but he was blocked.


    After washing up as usual, he changed his clothes. Just as he was buttoning up his shirt, Qi Luo hugged his lazy voice from behind: "You''re going to work again, can''t you accompany me at home?"


    Sheng Liang''s fingers paused for a moment, then continued to move: "I''ll try to come back as soon as possible."


    "I''m bored at home alone." Qi Luo pouted, aggrieved.


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hand, turned and looked at her, then gently kissed her forehead.


    It was only when they were eating breakfast together that Qi Luo finally noticed something. He looked at Sheng Liang and asked: "What happened to you today?"


    Although they didn''t talk much, they were at least not as quiet as they were today.


    "It''s nothing. I might have a cold." Sheng Liang''s tone was still indifferent.


    "Teacher must have caught a cold last night." Only now did Qing Qing realize that Sheng Liang was already in the commander''s small house before she woke up.


    After Qi Luo heard Qing Qing''s words, he immediately stood up and walked to Sheng Liang''s side. He extended his hand out and touched Sheng Liang''s forehead, and it was indeed a little hot: "You have a fever, rest at home.


    "No need, I''m fine." Sheng Liang pressed her hand that was about to make a call, stood up and walked out, "I''m going to the company."


    "Sheng Liang ¡ª" Qi Luo wanted to call out to him, but she followed him out. Seeing that he had already changed his shoes and left the room.


    Qi Luo looked at the place he disappeared into and his heart sank. The Sheng Liang of today, seemed to be a bit off.


    When Sheng Liang just arrived at the company, he heard his cell phone ringing. He took a glance and saw that it was Luo Jie''s number, he raised his head to see Luo Jie coming out of the elevator with an anxious look on his face, and immediately drew a line on the screen. He did not pick up the phone, but asked Luo Jie who was walking over: "What is it?"


    When Luo Jie saw him, she tried her best to calm down and whispered, "Young Master Liang, we were still betrayed. The data on your project was stolen last night."

 C155

    When he called Fu Yilang last night, but was unable to get through to him, he should have been more vigilant. If he had found out in time, Sheng Liang would not have suffered such a huge loss.


    "None of your business." Sheng Liang said in a low voice, the expression in his eyes becoming more and more dejected.


    Luo Jie didn''t know how Sheng Liang was able to remain this calm. He had spent a lot of effort on that project, and now that the data had been stolen, it was equivalent to his efforts falling short.


    Or was it because he had been too shocked that he had gone mad?


    But since they were still in the company''s main hall, Luo Jie could not ask too many questions, and immediately followed Sheng Liang into the elevator.


    Sheng Tianhao found out about this matter very quickly. He sent his assistant to inform Sheng Liang that an emergency meeting would be held in half an hour.


    Luo Jie looked at Sheng Tianhao''s assistant as he walked out. He closed the door and looked at Sheng Liang worriedly: "What do we do, the chairman will make you take on all the responsibilities. Maybe ¡­"


    Perhaps, they would take the opportunity to kick Sheng Liang out of the company. Everyone knew that Sheng Tianhao had always been against him.


    Sheng Liang still did not react, he flipped through the documents in his hands and said without lifting his head, "You can go out first."


    Luo Jie was extremely worried, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.


    Sheng Liang would always give himself a way out. No matter the circumstances, he would never let himself be trapped in a desperate situation.


    It was probably because of the fever, which made Sheng Liang dizzy. He pressed on his forehead hard, but the symptoms did not seem to be relieved.


    Someone knocked on the door, he raised his head, and saw that it was Luo Keke. Even though he knew that it was Luo Keke, he still called her.


    Luo Keke took the medicine and gave it to him, "You better get some rest, it''s too exhausting for you to work with a fever."


    Sheng Liang still did not say anything. Luo Keke did not force him, she knew that she could not persuade him, so she did not waste her breath on him, and asked: "What happened to you and Little Luo?"


    Women were all sensitive, and since Qi Luo could feel that Sheng Liang was absent-minded, it showed that there was something on Sheng Liang''s mind.


    Sheng Liang took the medicine and held the cup of water, as if he was absorbing the temperature from above, "Do you still remember how I was together with her back then?"


    Luo Keke thought for a while, "At that time, she was still in school. She was cute and willful, and didn''t even have a driver''s license when she drove out her family''s car and bumped into you. You obviously hit the fence to avoid her, so there were seven stitches on her head. She was the first to cry, while others thought you were bullying her. "But you didn''t argue, nor did you care about her. You just got up and left, but she''s been pestering you ever since."


    Sheng Liang seemed to have sunk into that memory as she said in a cold voice, "If life can only see once, I hope everything will be pure."


    Luo Keke did not quite understand what he meant, but seeing his expression, it looked like he did not know how to explain it to her, so she did not ask, and only said: "If you''ve chosen properly, then just cherish the person in front of you, but I personally like Qiao Xuan more."


    Sheng Liang put down the cup, the corner of his lips curving upwards: "She has never been selected by me."


    His life wouldn''t allow so many accidents; one Qi Luo was already enough.


    Only after Luo Keke closed the door and left did he remember that Sheng Liang had not finished speaking to him earlier. He definitely did not mention the matters back when he first met Qi Luo for no reason at all.


    Therefore, Luo Keke was even more certain that something must have happened between Sheng Liang and the two of them.


    Cold Jade Media.


    When Qiao Xuan arrived at the company, he saw many people discussing it. When she walked over, Xu Yi immediately ran over and said to her: "Fu Yiliang has left, it was the chairman''s decision."


    Although Qiao Xuan did not really agree with Fu Yilang''s actions, she could understand the tactfulness of a middle-aged man.


    Therefore, she could not help but sigh at this sudden decision.


    Moreover, the thing that made her most uncomfortable was that Fu Yilang was not an ordinary staff member. He was the Director of Personnel, and so he decided to leave just like that without even giving her a heads up.


    It was noon when Qiao Xuan''s phone rang. It was Luo Keke who said he would make an offer to have lunch with her.


    Qiao Xuan agreed to it very naturally. Furthermore, the place that Luo Keke had arranged to meet him was very close to the company.


    "Did you come to see me?" Their hospital was not close to here, even if she wanted to shop around, she would not visit this place.


    Luo Keke shook his head, as if he was saying it unwittingly, "A''Liang has a fever, let me deliver the medicine for him."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, but pretended that nothing had happened.


    The dishes that Luo Keke had ordered were extremely light, and exactly fit Qiao Xuan''s current taste. But even so, she was still a little disgusted.


    Luo Keke was a doctor, so she could immediately tell. She looked at Qiao Xuan with wide eyes: "Are you pregnant? Is it A Liang? "


    "Don''t tell him!" Qiao Xuan immediately said, she had never thought of using this child to tie Sheng Liang up.


    "Actually ¡­" She could tell that Sheng Liang had some sort of relationship with Qiao Xuan, and it was just that he did not realize it himself. However, she did not dare to give Qiao Xuan any more hope, so she believed that if they really had any feelings for each other, they would definitely come together.


    After finishing his meal and walking out, Qiao Xuan saw a pregnant baby shop engaged in some activities. There was a huge poster of a baby outside, and Qiao Xuan''s gaze was attracted as he smiled faintly.


    In a few months, she would have such a lovely child, and she would love him and give him the best in the world.


    As for Sheng Liang, it was up to fate.


    After taking the medicine, Sheng Liang''s head became even more dizzy, hearing the directors argue again and again, causing him to have a splitting headache, he simply stood up and said: "I will be responsible for this alone, it has nothing to do with you guys."


    Seeing Sheng Liang walk out after he finished speaking, Sheng Tianhao frowned slightly. "Sheng Liang, what kind of attitude is this! I''m notifying you that the meeting will be held in the morning, but I haven''t said anything about it even after you dragged it on.


    However, Sheng Liang did not stop at all, nor did he turn around. With his back facing, he said, "I''ve already said it before, I will take responsibility for this matter, do not interfere with anyone else."


    When Sheng Liang walked into his office, her footsteps were all fake. When Luo Jie, who was waiting outside, saw that his expression was not good, he immediately said: "Young Master Liang, I''ll send you home to rest."


    Sheng Liang acted as if he did not hear her, and only asked: "What about the things I asked you to arrange?"


    Luo Jie immediately said: "Yes, I will report to Young Master Liang the moment there is any news."


    "That''s good." Sheng Liang took a step forward and said, "You handle the rest of the matters. I''ll be leaving first."


    Luo Jie hurriedly nodded, he knew that if Sheng Liang wasn''t unable to hold on any longer, he would definitely not have returned home early.

 C156

    Qiao Xuan watched as Sheng Liang left, then looked down at the watch on his wrist. Qiao Xuan should be getting off work soon, looks like he won''t be able to pass today.


    Just this once, and Qiao Xuan was by his side, he should be fine.


    Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan were completely unaware of what had happened last night. They had only gone out to eat, but who would have known that Fu Yiliang had left the second day?


    Coming out from the elevator, Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Nan who was walking slowly behind him and urged: "Can you hurry up, I''m not going to make it in time, why don''t you take a taxi and go back."


    Qiao Nan was holding his phone as he chatted passionately with others. Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, he did not even raise his head and said: "I won''t go if it''s too late, what''s so interesting about a lousy art exhibition? Besides, you don''t have any artistic talent, when did you become interested in a painting exhibition?"


    Hearing him say that, Qiao Xuan was a little unhappy. She turned around and took his hand, "Don''t lower your head and play with your phone when you''re walking, I''ve told you so many times."


    Qiao Nan pursed his lips helplessly: "I thought I didn''t know why you were going to the exhibition, but isn''t it a little too early for you to be teaching the fetus? It''s only the size of a grape in two months, what do you know?"


    With his thoughts exposed, Qiao Xuan''s face reddened. She threw her phone at him unhappily: "I''m willing. I don''t want my child to be like you.


    Qiao Nan choked, this matter was his weakness, he turned and ridiculed: "Artisan cells are hereditary, regretfully, you did not, you still hoped to see an art exhibition and see him become a great painter?"


    Qiao Xuan glanced at him sideways: "That''s still better than you."


    Qiao Xuan would never bother to argue with him, but when it came to children, it was inevitable that Qiao Xuan was serious. Qiao Nan could understand the joy in her mother''s heart, and he was not even allowed to say anything bad about children.


    Seeing that she was really angry, Qiao Nan said: "Yes, yes, yes, she will definitely be stronger than me, then she will definitely become a great artist in the future."


    Seeing that he still knew his limits, Qiao Xuan did not bother with him anymore, and the two continued to walk forward.


    When they were almost to the car, they saw a little girl sitting on the ground crying and calling out for her mother.


    Qiao Nan looked around, and saw no one else. He walked over and picked up the little girl, and asked: How did you get down from the bed, where''s your mother?


    The little girl didn''t reply, she was just crying, Qiao Nan had no choice but to coax her.


    Qiao Xuan watched from the back, she really did not know when Qiao Nan had become so patient.


    Hearing the sound of a car approaching from the distance, Qiao Xuan and Qiao Nan looked over at the same time. Then, they saw a van drive over, and before they could react, a few people got out of the van and grabbed Qiao Xuan. They stuffed her into the car, closed the door, and drove away.


    Everything happened too suddenly. When Qiao Nan came back to his senses, he immediately put the little girl on the ground and chased after her. However, the car was already gone.


    "Bastard! Bastard!" Qiao Nan cursed out loud and kicked the wall hard.


    But right now, no matter how anxious he was, it was useless. He had to think of a way to save Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Nan calmed down and immediately ran back to Qiao Xuan''s car. Luckily he still had the car keys to the car, he got on the car and immediately drove out.


    He wanted to look for Sheng Liang, and at the moment, only he could save Qiao Xuan. Luckily, Golden Age was right across from their company, so he quickly arrived. He got off the car and went straight to Sheng Liang''s office.


    Luo Jie was surprised to see him: "Qiao Nan, why are you here?"


    Qiao Nan did not reply. He pushed him away and entered Sheng Liang''s office, but there was no one inside.


    "Where''s Sheng Liang?" Qiao Nan''s heart was burning with anxiety, and when he looked at Luo Jie, his eyes seemed to be on fire.


    Luo Jie did not know what happened and carefully said: "Young Master Liang is not feeling well, I''m going home."


    Qiao Nan didn''t care that much. He almost shouted: "Call him! Hurry!"


    Luo Jie had never seen Qiao Nan like this, and had a faint premonition about something. He immediately dialed Sheng Liang''s number, and before he could say anything, Qiao Nan had already snatched it away. "I''m Qiao Nan, no matter where you are, come here immediately!"


    "What is it?" Sheng Liang asked indifferently.


    "My sister was taken." Qiao Nan''s voice trembled. Even now, he was still submerged in that kind of shock.


    Sheng Liang sat up from the bed, but still asked solemnly: "When did it happen, did you call the police?"


    "Is my sister still alive after calling the police?" Qiao Nan asked coldly after hearing Sheng Liang''s indifferent look, "Did you know that she had your child!"


    What did you say?" Sheng Liang''s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously clenched his fist, and the back of his hand, which was still dripping liquid, suddenly bulged.


    When Qing Qing saw this, he was shocked, and quickly closed the IV tube.


    Qiao Nan coldly snorted: "You think I''m willing to tell you that? You cheated my sister so badly and even let her have your child, I really want to beat you up for her! But I can''t do anything about her being caught in the car. Other than you, I don''t know who else can save her. "


    She knew that Qiao Xuan did not want to have anything to do with Sheng Liang anymore, but he just wanted to save her, and did not care about that anymore.


    Sheng Liang pulled out the needle, causing blood to ooze out from the needle hole. He stood up and asked while walking: "Where was she taken away from, what kind of person, what car did she drive, in what direction?"


    Hearing his question, Qiao Nan knew that he wanted to help and quickly replied.


    After Qiao Nan finished speaking, Sheng Liang said to him: "Tell Luo Jie to listen to the phone."


    Qiao Nan immediately gave his phone to Luo Jie, who took it and asked: Young Master Liang, what should I do?


    Sheng Liang told him to check the license plate, then transferred to Qiao Xuan''s area''s underground parking lot to take pictures of the people who kidnapped Qiao Xuan, and ask the people in the streets if they knew anything about him.


    Luo Jie was just by the side a moment ago, so when he heard all their words, he started to blame himself, but he did not expect that Qiao Xuan was really in trouble, it was his carelessness. After listening to Sheng Liang finish speaking, he immediately said, "I''ll go right now."


    Qiao Nan had originally been at a loss of what to do. However, after hearing Sheng Liang''s orderly arrangements, he thought that it was right for him to come and find him. "Thank you."


    Sheng Liang took a coat from the rack, but because the back of his hand was badly swollen, he couldn''t button it.


    Although Qing Qing had heard what he said just now, she did not know who he was talking about. She was only somewhat unwilling to see Sheng Liang expend so much energy to tie his shirt, hence she said: "Sir, you''re still feverish. If you go out like this, your body will definitely be ruined."

 C157

    Sheng Liang did not reply to her. All he could think of now was Qiao Nan''s words: Qiao Xuan has his own child.


    He had always thought that everything was under his control, but unexpectedly, there were still things that exceeded his expectations. The feeling of being on the verge of breaking out of control caused him to feel panic.


    Just as he was about to leave, he saw Qi Luo carrying a bowl of porridge to the entrance. Seeing that he was wearing a jacket, he asked, "Are you going out?"


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment, but quickly agreed and passed her without saying anything else.


    Qi Luo seemed to know something, and actually did not pursue any further.


    " "Where have you been? Come back, okay? You''re still sick. I''m very worried." Qi Luo sounded like he was begging.


    " I have something urgent to take care of right now, so I''ll hang up now. When I go back, I have something to tell you. " Sheng Liang seemed to have made a decision of his own as his voice became faint.


    " She woke up. " A rough voice said.


    " You... Didn''t you go to jail? " Qiao Xuan looked at him in disbelief.


    " "What are you doing? Of course it''s revenge. It was so difficult for me to hide my identity, yet you all ended up missing. Shouldn''t I teach you a lesson?" Sheng Hua''s eyes were blazing with anger.


    Sheng Hua suddenly mentioned, does he mean that he borrowed Wei Xinfei''s identity?


    "Then you caught the wrong person. I didn''t propose the plan to buy the white bear. I was just carrying out my duties." Qiao Xuan tried hard to protect herself. She was not alone right now, she still had her child in her womb.

 C158

    Sheng Hua could understand her question, but he did not reply to her. Standing up, he patted on the dirt on his hands and said to the people behind him: "I will pass this woman to you, I can use any method, the more miserable I will hear, the better."


    Seeing the few people getting closer, Qiao Xuan struggled with all his might: "Sheng Hua, you can''t be like this, what are you doing ¡­ "Don''t come over here ¡­"


    These people were just street rascals. Since someone was paying them, they would naturally do whatever they wanted. With an evil smile, they approached step by step.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was cold, she was not a person who was willing to admit defeat, but she could not implicate her child into such a misfortune. Although this sudden life of hers had made her at a loss, but at that moment, her maternal instincts made her want to protect him.


    "Sheng Hua, I can''t! I beg you, please let me go. I really don''t know anything ¡­" Qiao Xuan wanted to retreat, but her body was tied up, and all she could do was curl up.


    Sheng Hua listened to her pleas for mercy, and seemed to become even more excited. He took out his phone, and prepared to record her cries.


    The few of them looked at Qiao Xuan who was drenched all over, with her hair sticking to her head, their eyes revealed their most primal desire, but her hands and feet were tied up, and she was wearing very thick clothes, so ripping them apart would definitely take some effort.


    Moreover, the owner''s temper was not too good, he was unpredictable. Seeing his familiar attitude with Qiao Xuan, who knew if he would suddenly turn hostile and protect her.


    Thus, the few of them were in a difficult position for a moment, they turned to look at Sheng Hua who was still waiting, and started punching and kicking him, since he would not die anyway.


    But right after he kicked twice, Qiao Xuan''s entire body started to tremble. Not to mention crying, even the sound of him begging for mercy was so weak that it was almost impossible to hear.


    She tried her best to lie on the ground and not let them kick her stomach. She looked at Sheng Hua and said, "Don''t continue anymore, please, I beg you, please let me go ¡­"


    Even though she protected him very carefully, she still felt a bit of pain in her stomach. She was very scared, so she begged Sheng Hua over and over again.


    "It''s not like you." Sheng Hua sighed, then sent Qiao Xuan''s voice back to him.


    The name of the voicemail stunned him for a good while. As if he had a premonition of sorts, his fingers trembled as he opened the voice message, then heard Qiao Xuan''s helpless voice.


    "It''s my sister, what did they do to her!" Qiao Nan''s body leaned over, his eyes wide open.


    When Sheng Liang heard Qiao Xuan''s voice, his heart also inexplicably tensed up. He immediately called Sheng Hua, and said coldly: "You better not touch her again, or I won''t let you off!"


    However, Sheng Hua laughed disdainfully, "Really? You should hurry up. I think she might not be able to hold on any longer."


    Sheng Hua hung up immediately, his expression turning uglier. On the back of his hand holding the steering wheel, his veins were popping out.


    Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan, he had been silently pronouncing her name in his heart. Not a single moment had passed like this, where he regretted involving her in the first place, and she wouldn''t have ended up in danger again and again.


    He drove very fast, afraid that if he was any later, Qiao Xuan would really not be able to hold on.


    Qiao Xuan really could not hold on, no matter how hard she tried to protect him, how could she withstand the kicks of the men? The pain in her lower abdomen was akin to waves crashing into a sea, causing her entire body to spasm, but her consciousness was exceptionally clear, even fainting became a luxury.


    She could feel a warm current gushing out from her body. She knew what had happened. The tears that she had been holding back all this time suddenly flowed out uncontrollably.


    Those people stopped and called Sheng Hua: "Boss, she ¡­"


    Sheng Hua walked towards her and saw the red patch beneath Qiao Xuan''s body. His brows furrowed, then squatted and grabbed her hair as he coldly asked: "Are you pregnant, Sheng Liang''s?"


    Qiao Xuan was in so much pain that she couldn''t make a sound. Now that even her children were gone, was there any point in asking all these?


    Seeing that she did not answer his question, Sheng Hua suddenly laughed: "Truly deserving. This is the retribution he gives me for chasing me out to the end!"


    Qiao Xuan raised her head with much difficulty, her lips trembling as she asked, "What did you say?"


    "Why are you still pretending? Do you think I can''t find out that Leng Ning belongs to him just because you don''t want to reveal it to the public!" Sheng Hua strongly threw Qiao Xuan''s head onto the ground, and said while sneering, "This is good, he''s schemed against me for so many years, it''s finally time to take revenge on his son!"


    It turned out that he was the chairman of the company, thus, even though she had left Golden Age, she had not escaped his control.


    Her heart was as cold as her body, and Qiao Xuan felt that she was about to die.


    She had thought that she would be able to change her fate once she was reborn. But now, it seemed that everything was destined. In the end, she had embarked on the same journey as her previous life.


    The only consolation she had was that she had died before her family. That way, they would be safe.


    She was still looking forward to the future. She slowly watched her child grow up, heard him call her mother, accompanied him to every place, watched every scenery, and now, she never had this chance again.


    Tears flowed from the corners of Qiao Xuan''s eyes and into her hair. It was a warm feeling, it was her bad luck that she was unable to see her child for two lifetimes.


    Qiao Xuan no longer had the strength to endure anymore. Her eyes slowly closed, and even her voice was unclear, so when she heard someone calling her name, she thought she was dreaming.


    She knew that Sheng Liang would never appear unless he was in a dream.


    But Sheng Liang had really rushed over. Luo Jie and Qiao Nan were dealing with the others outside, so he rushed in alone, only to see that Qiao Xuan''s body was curled up on the ground, and had completely lost consciousness. Her entire body was drenched, and her face was deathly pale, and the blood under her body was mixed with the water.


    Sheng Liang immediately walked towards Qiao Xuan, but saw that Sheng Hua had suddenly appeared in front of him. He held onto a baseball bat and placed it on top of Qiao Xuan''s head, then laughed and said: "Want to save her?"


    Sheng Liang understood that he was threatening her, but he was unable to take another step forward. He could not let Qiao Xuan sustain even the slightest amount of injuries, "What do you want?"


    "Kneel." Sheng Hua said lightly, his face didn''t have any expression at all. Seeing that Sheng Liang didn''t move, he raised his baseball bat, putting on a posture of hitting him down, "Don''t test my patience. You know, I have never had such a thing."

 C159

    Sheng Liang scoffed, but still continued walking, "On what basis do you think I would give up my dignity because of a woman?"


    Sheng Hua squinted, and the movements of his hands became obvious hesitation: "The one in her stomach, is your child."


    "So what? I''ve never admitted it." Sheng Liang stood still in front of Sheng Hua and snorted, "I haven''t thanked you for helping me solve my problem."


    Seeing the disdain and ridicule in Sheng Liang''s eyes, Sheng Hua acted as if he had swallowed a fly, but he quickly laughed out again: "You think I would believe you, but what are you doing here if you don''t care?"


    "Make your move now and see if I care." Sheng Liang stared at Sheng Hua.


    Sheng Hua was probably more clear than anyone about Sheng Liang''s cold-blooded attitude. There was still no one that could become his weakness.


    So when Sheng Liang said this, he didn''t feel reassured at all. He didn''t care about the life in his hands, but being ordered to do this by Sheng Liang made him feel very unhappy.


    "Stop pointing fingers and pointing fingers at me, our debt ¡ª" Looking at Sheng Liang''s provocative eyes, the originally impatient Sheng Hua was now enraged, especially when his originally flawless plan was disrupted by Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Hua wanted to point the baseball bat at Sheng Liang, but just as he was about to raise it and leave Qiao Xuan''s head, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his wrist. It was probably because his hand tendons had been cut off, he instinctively let go of his hand.


    Sheng Liang had already caught the baseball bat in his hand. He put away the knife and slowly approached Sheng Hua with the baseball bat in his hand. His gaze was so cold that it seemed like it was going to freeze up: "It''s time for us to settle our debts, ever since you pushed my mother down the stairs, there hasn''t been a day that I don''t want to kill you!"


    The current Sheng Liang was like a judge from hell. Looking at him, Sheng Hua unconsciously retreated step by step, but his mouth still refused to compromise: "If you dare to touch me, even Sheng Tianhao would not dare to do anything to me. Don''t you know who I am!"


    Sheng Liang laughed coldly: "So I said, thank you for helping me out. Do you think you are still Sheng Hua, or Wei Xinfei? Right now, you are merely a person who doesn''t even exist. Even if you die, your Xilin Family would not know about it. "


    Sheng Hua''s face suddenly turned pale. It was unknown whether it was because he had lost too much blood or because he was scared, but he shook his head and said: "I won''t, you wouldn''t dare ¡­"


    "I want to let you go. You''re asking for death." When he came in and saw Qiao Xuan covered in blood, Sheng Liang had already made his decision.


    Sheng Hua''s eyes turned, and suddenly he ran towards Qiao Xuan, only then did he realize that he was tricked by Sheng Liang, and this woman was still useful.


    However, Sheng Liang didn''t even give him a chance. Upon seeing his movements, he had already swung his baseball bat, hitting the back of''s head unerringly. With a stuffy groan, Sheng Hua laid flat on the ground without any signs of movement.


    His chest continued to move up and down. He crouched down and took off his jacket and wrapped it around Qiao Xuan''s body, lifting her up with great effort.


    Luo Jie and Qiao Nan just happened to come in at the same time. Seeing the blood on Qiao Xuan''s body and the people lying on the ground, they were stunned for a moment and then immediately moved aside so that Sheng Liang could carry Qiao Xuan out.


    When they were getting on the carriage, Qiao Nan saw that Sheng Liang was unable to hold on and wanted to take Qiao Xuan away from him, but Sheng Liang did not let go.


    Luo Jie had called the hospital in advance, so when they arrived, the doctors were already prepared. Qiao Xuan was quickly sent to the operation room.


    Sheng Liang sat on a bench in the corridor. His entire body was covered in sweat, even his shirt was drenched in sweat.


    "Sheng Hua..." Luo Jie said carefully, but seeing Sheng Liang''s expression, he did not ask anymore.


    He had thought about it many times, and if one day Sheng Liang really killed Sheng Hua, he would definitely take the blame for him.


    "He is not dead, but he is crippled." Sheng Liang''s voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes seemed to be a little erratic.


    Only then did Luo Jie remember that he was still sick, and quickly replied: "Young Master Liang, it''s coincidentally at the hospital, I''ll get the nurse to arrange a ward for you."


    "No need, I''ll go home and find a substitute." Sheng Liang leaned back to make himself more comfortable.


    "Alright." Luo Jie immediately went to the side to make a call.


    Qiao Nan was originally wandering around the entrance of the operation room, and when he turned around, he saw Sheng Liang leaning her head on the back of the chair, with one hand on her forehead, looking very uncomfortable. He walked over and sat down beside him, and said absentmindedly: "If it wasn''t for that, my sister would have gone to see an art exhibition, she hoped that her child would become a painter in the future, but now ¡­"


    Sheng Liang''s heart was cold, but it was as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.


    He did not respond to Qiao Nan, and did not even move an inch. There was only his adam''s apple that was rolling up and down, indicating his current state of mind.


    Seeing that he did not react, Qiao Nan laughed at himself, "I still have to thank you. At least you saved my sister''s life, I also want to beg you.


    After Qiao Nan finished speaking, he walked to the side, so he did not see Sheng Liang''s hand that was on his forehead, and his fingers were tightly clenched.


    When Sheng Liang returned home, he was completely terrified when he opened the door. "Sir, what happened?


    Qi Luo, who was sitting on the sofa, heard Qing Qing''s scream and immediately ran over. Looking at the blood on his clothes, he immediately covered his mouth, but his eyes flashed: "Liangliang, are you alright?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her, shifted his gaze, and said lightly: "I''m going to take a bath."


    "Cool ¡­" Qi Luo watched him go up the stairs as her lips muttered, but she didn''t say anything.


    When Sheng Liang changed into a new set of clothes, there was only Qi Luo left in the living room. She was smoking by the French window, her petite figure looked extremely adorable.


    Hearing the voice, Qi Luo turned around and saw Sheng Liang, as she hurriedly put out the cigarette in her hand. She knew that Sheng Liang disliked her the most as she smoked, so her eyes were filled with panic: "Sorry, I ¡­"


    She wanted to explain, but she was too anxious. Perhaps it was because she had swallowed some air, but she suddenly started coughing.


    Sheng Liang reached out to pat her back with a complicated expression on his face: "Don''t smoke anymore in the future."


    The indifference in Sheng Liang''s voice made Qi Luo even more panicked. She immediately hugged Sheng Liang and nodded heavily: "Alright, I''ll listen to you. I''ll listen to anything you say."


    Sheng Liang''s fingers that were still on her back stiffened a little, and then he removed them without leaving a trace of traces behind. "I want to go see the commander, come with me."


    Qi Luo hurriedly nodded.


    In a small house in the corner of the courtyard, the Commander heard someone open the door and ran over happily while shouting. He stood up with both of his legs on top of Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang saw that the bandages on the commander''s legs had been rewrapped, and the emotions in his eyes became even more complicated.

 C160

    Qi Luo pulled Sheng Liang''s sleeve and said carefully: "I''m sorry, I know my wrongs. I shouldn''t have hit the Commander.


    Sheng Liang rubbed the commander''s head, telling him to go play by himself. He walked over and sat on the sofa, and said in a clear voice, "Do you still remember the first time we saw the commander? At that time, it was still very young, around two months old.


    Qi Luo looked at him, the expression in her eyes retracted. "That''s right, he was severely injured, his entire body was covered in blood, and even his golden fur was dyed red.


    Sheng Liang lowered his eyes and carefully looked at him, but he did not see any expression on his face. He forcefully smiled: "However, if it wasn''t for commander, we wouldn''t even know each other."


    "Really?" Sheng Liang looked up and chuckled, "Was the accident not meticulously planned by someone?"


    A flash of panic flashed across Qi Luo''s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "How is this possible, what are you talking about?"


    Sheng Liang seemed to be unwilling to investigate further, he only said: "Little Luo, five years is enough time. I''m tired, let''s separate."


    In the past few days, Qi Luo had naturally felt Sheng Liang''s alienation. She had endured it until now, not daring to ask, because she was afraid that Sheng Liang would say those words. But in the end, he did.


    This was something she could not accept in any case.


    She immediately walked in front of Sheng Liang, squatted down beside his legs, grabbed his hands and asked: "Why, cool, I know I didn''t do well enough, but I have been trying to change, will you give me some more time?"


    Sheng Liang frowned, her forehead started to throb with pain again: "Why do you think you should be clear about it in your heart, there are some things I don''t want to say too clearly, it''s just that I want to leave some beautiful memories for each other."


    "Is it because of Qiao Xuan?" Qi Luo looked straight at him, and asked, "Is it because of her that you want to break up with me?"


    Sheng Liang rubbed his forehead, and said softly: "This is between you and me, don''t drag other people into this."


    "What other people? Do you think I don''t know that she lived here before I came back, slept with my man, and still wanted to take away everything that was mine? She''s a slut!" Qi Luo suddenly stood up and shouted with reddened eyes.


    "Qi Luo!" Sheng Liang frowned, but still endured, "No matter what you''ve done, I don''t want to blame you.


    Qi Luo laughed coldly: "What, it hurts just like that, I''m about to start protecting her now, and you guys are still saying that you guys don''t have to worry, do you really think I''m a child!"


    Sheng Liang did not want to care about her and stood up to leave, but instead reached out to stop him. He pulled open the collar of his clothes with a hiss and showed her the burns on her shoulder, "Do you know where this came from, it''s because of you, it''s because I''m not willing to betray you, that''s why I got such an injury? But you chose to sleep with another woman when I''m not around, how can you face me!"


    Sheng Liang sighed, and looked down at her: "If it was a few days ago, I might have felt guilty about you saying that to me, but it won''t now. You should know better than me how the wounds on your body came about right? It was all thrown out by Qi Chu, causing me to believe that you were detained. Actually, in these past three years, you have been in your own room. "


    Qi Luo''s face changed, his eyes dodging: "Nonsense, you''re just finding an excuse for you to be in love. If it''s really like this, then why didn''t you notice it every time you went to my room!"


    Sheng Liang looked at her, but did not say a single word.


    Qi Luo suddenly realized that he had spoken the wrong words. If she wasn''t here, how would he know that every time Sheng Liang went to her room, he would always go to her room. He hurriedly explained, "It''s my brother ¡­ Tell me. "


    "Whatever. That''s not important anymore." Sheng Liang circled around her and continued walking out.


    "Cool!" Qi Luo hugged Sheng Liang tightly from behind as tears gushed out from his eyes, "Don''t leave me, okay? I will never lie to you again, I swear, I swear, as long as you don''t leave me ¡­"


    Sheng Liang opened her hands little by little: "It''s too late. I won''t pursue the past matters, but ever since you betrayed me this time, you should have expected this kind of result."


    "What betrayal, I don''t have any!" Qi Luo denied it, "How could I betray you? For you, I can even die!"


    Then let me tell you, "Sheng Liang looked at her, with a smile still contained within his eyes, but it was no longer tenderness, and more of disappointment," You should have told Qi Chu what I said to him in the study room. Fu Yilang knows how many things I have done, and you clearly understand what handing him over to Qi Chu means to me, yet you still betrayed me.


    It''s just that I don''t want you to have such a close relationship with Qiao Xuan. I just want to blame all of Fu Yiliang''s fault on her, that way you definitely wouldn''t let her be your company''s CEO. I really didn''t want Fu Yiliang to betray you! "


    Before he made Luo Jie send Fu Yilang out of the country, she wanted to use the secret that Fu Yilang had told her to frame Qiao Xuan and drive him away from the company. Because she knew too well that the thing he could not tolerate the most was betrayal.


    But she didn''t know that Qi Chu''s goal was different from hers, which was why things had turned out like this.


    But so what? The moment she had called Qi Chu, she had already betrayed him.


    "Do you really hate Qiao Xuan that much? I''ve told you before, my relationship with her was fake, and now it''s just an employment relationship. Furthermore, she doesn''t even know that I''m her boss." When Sheng Liang said his last sentence, his heart was filled with regret. Maybe he had made it clear to Qiao Xuan at the beginning that he should just leave it to her, but he shouldn''t force things.


    Qi Luo suddenly laughed bitterly. She wiped away her tears and turned to Sheng Liang, looking at the expression on his face and said: "You''re still saying that you have nothing to do with her. Then tell me, what are you thinking right now! You drove around in the middle of the night to find her, and even gave her the Commander. The Commander belongs to both of us, so what right do you have to give it to her? "


    "I really don''t want to expose you. Have you really forgotten how the Commander came here?" The disappointment in Sheng Liang''s eyes slowly faded, "That car accident was all planned by you, the commander was bought by you guys from a nearby household, you guys planned to kill it from the beginning, I took its life from under your wheel, it has nothing to do with you."


    Qi Luo laughed coldly: "You want to even care about this kind of thing, it''s just a dog. What are you trying to prove by saying all this?"

 C161

    "If you don''t want to prove anything, then I have nothing else to say. From today onwards, we owe each other nothing." Sheng Liang said as he forced her hand away.


    Seeing him go to open the door, Qi Luo screamed out loud from behind. She cried at the top of her lungs: "All of this is because of that woman, I just hate her, she stole you, that trash Sheng Hua actually didn''t kill her!"


    Using Sheng Hua to kidnap Qiao Xuan, she even made him think that she was hiding at the place where they were kidnapped last time. The reason she called him was also to stall for time, so that when he rushed over, she would only see Qiao Xuan''s corpse.


    "You are the one who reminded me. I will protect her from now on. If this is what you want, then I will do as you say." Sheng Liang opened the door and left with a cold voice.


    Standing in the courtyard, he heard Qi Luo''s heart-tearing and lung-splitting cries, as well as the sound of her slamming something down, he felt at ease.


    He remembered when he had first met her, with her short, schoolgirl hair and long white cotton dress, and how she had laughed like the sun breaking through the haze.


    He liked her to be by his side. He liked her to be simple and straightforward, sometimes very cute, sometimes very willful. He liked to hear her call him cold and spoiled.


    But in the future, there would never be such a scene again. Time had already passed, and they would never be able to return.


    Actually, he had already known from the start that Qi Luo was intentionally approaching him. However, the moment she appeared, he was just tortured by the effects of his first drug addiction, and his brakes were destroyed. He simply had no way of stopping, and only after seeing Qi Luo''s car suddenly crash towards him, did he manage to retrieve his life.


    So he sometimes thought that perhaps this was the arrangement of fate. He did his best to pamper her so that he wouldn''t ask for anything in return. As long as she was on his side, he would definitely protect her.


    But it was very obvious that things did not develop according to his wish. After Qi Luo had disappeared for three years, he had searched almost every inch of the place, but he had never thought that the person who planned for Qi Luo to get close to him would be Qi Chu. So he had never thought that Qi Chu would be the one to lock him up.


    However, the firework on Qi Luo''s shoulder and the marks on her wrist were not because she was being mistreated, but because Qi Chu wanted to stop her from becoming addicted to drugs.


    Unfortunately, he still found out too late. Although he had already asked the team to change the data ahead of time when he thought of the project he was working on from Fu Yilang, he did not expect Qi Luo to actually use Sheng Hua to deal with Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan and... Her child was gone just like that.


    That was also his child. He only just found out about the child''s existence, yet in this way, he forever lost the opportunity to meet with him.


    When Qiao Xuan, who was in the hospital woke up from her sickbed, it was already the morning of the second day. As soon as she moved, a dull pain came from her lower abdomen.


    Qiao Nan was napping by the side. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Xuan tightly holding onto the bed sheet, his tears rolling down from the corner of his eyes. He immediately grabbed onto Qiao Xuan''s hand and said, "Sis, don''t be like this.


    knew that it was useless no matter what happened since she could not control her tears. She endured for a long time before she finally spoke, "Xiao Nan, let''s leave the Sang City." She didn''t want to stay a second longer in this place.


    Qiao Nan immediately said: "Okay, wherever you say we should go, wait for you to recover, we will go."


    Qiao Nan knew that Qiao Xuan did not care about her at all. Back then, if Luo Jie had not said that Sheng Liang still had some feelings for Qiao Xuan, he would have personally witnessed the night that Qiao Xuan fell sick and protected her. He would have definitely oppose Qiao Xuan to the end.


    It was not too late for her to think things through now, even though the price of losing a child was huge, it was better than losing her life. He finally understood that as long as Qiao Xuan had that little bit of a relationship with Sheng Liang, it would all be dangerous.


    Such a big thing could definitely not be hidden from her parents, but Qiao Xuan''s emotions were still unstable, so Qiao Nan did not dare to say too much, and only said that Qiao Xuan accidentally fell down and gave birth to an abortion. She was fine now, so they did not need to worry.


    Even so, her parents were still worried. Qiao¡¯s father even scolded Qiao Nan, then asked which hospital they were at, and said that he would be there very soon.


    He was afraid that Qiao Xuan would hear him calling from the corner of the stairs, so after he finished his call, he returned to the ward, saw two tall men standing there, and immediately frowned and said: "Who are you, who let you in?"


    He grabbed one of the men by the shoulders and tried to get them out.


    However, just as he placed his hand on the man''s shoulder, he felt a flip. Before he could understand what was going on, he was pushed down to the ground by the man''s twisted arm.


    "Captain Xiao, he''s my younger brother!" Qiao Xuan anxiously shouted as he looked towards the other man.


    That man was the captain of the Criminal Police squad, Xiao Feng. Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, he waved towards the police officer holding Qiao Nan: "Let him go."


    Qiao Nan still did not understand what happened, but seeing that Qiao Xuan recognized the two of them, he did not speak anymore.


    Miss Qiao, I did not mean to disturb you, it''s really a coincidence," Xiao Feng had a cold and stern look on his face. "Last night, we received a report that a group of people were injured in a warehouse east of the city. According to them, they had kidnapped a woman, but we didn''t see any women at the scene.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was completely devoid of blood. She sat on the sickbed, her eyes a little lifeless.


    She knew clearly in her heart that she was the one Xiao Feng was looking for, but so what if she said so? Her child was already gone. Everything was too late.


    Seeing her like this, Xiao Feng continued: "We found a person at the scene whose tendons have been cut off and whose brain has been injured. I just went to see him and he has already turned into a fool.


    As Xiao Feng spoke, he took two photos from the police and gave them to Qiao Xuan.


    The first one was in the warehouse. The man was lying on the ground, his hands and head were covered with blood, but from his clothes, it seemed to be Sheng Hua.


    She frowned, then looked at the second card. This was the one in the hospital, the man''s head was wrapped in gauze, his eyes were closed, but Qiao Xuan was sure that he was Sheng Hua.


    Qiao Xuan pursed her somewhat dry lips and returned the photo to Xiao Feng: "I''m sorry, I don''t know you."

 C162

    Then, he looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "It''s like this, Miss Qiao, because the victim has not been found, and there are still many suspicious points to investigate. We might have many things to trouble Miss Qiao with, so I hope you won''t leave Sang City for a short period of time."


    Before Qiao Xuan could say anything, Qiao Nan said anxiously, "Are you all mistaken? My sister has nothing to do with this case, why are you not letting her leave?!"


    Xiao Feng ignored Qiao Nan, and only looked at him as if waiting for her answer.


    "I know." Qiao Xuan''s head was still bowed, he could not see the emotions in her eyes.


    Xiao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. "Thank you Miss Qiao for your cooperation. You should rest well. We will be leaving first."


    After the two of them went out, Qiao Nan looked at Qiao Xuan worriedly: "Sis, are you alright?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, then asked: "Is Sheng Hua in this hospital too?"


    "Probably, because this place is the closest to the warehouse." Qiao Nan took note of Qiao Xuan''s expression and carefully asked, "Are you saying that you don''t know him because you''re afraid that Sheng Liang will get into trouble, and you''re still protecting him?"


    At the very end of her consciousness, what she heard were the words that Sheng Liang said to Sheng Hua. He said that he had never acknowledged that child, and he did not care about her life or death at all.


    At that moment, Qiao Xuan was in despair. Even after he woke up, he wanted to immediately leave this sorrowful place.


    But when she saw the picture of Sheng Hua being injured, she still chose to protect him. No matter what the reason was, he avenged her child and saved her life.


    "These are two different things." Qiao Xuan laid down on his side with some difficulty and closed his eyes, "I want to sleep for a while longer, you can go out."


    Qiao Nan also did not say anything else. He knew the feelings Qiao Xuan had for Sheng Liang;


    After staying in the hospital for a few days, Qiao Xuan''s body slowly recovered. When Qiao Nan went to complete the discharge procedures for her, she saw Xu Yi walking out from the corridor with a flower in her hands. Unconsciously, she reached out to stop him: "What are you doing here?"


    "Today, Director Qiao is discharged. I''m here to pick her up." Xu Yi looked at Qiao Nan.


    Qiao Nan impatiently waved his hand, "Go back, there''s nothing here. Go back and tell your Young Master Liang that my Sis has resigned."


    "I''ll talk to Director Qiao." Xu Yi blocked Qiao Nan''s path and walked forward.


    Qiao Nan wanted to stop him again, but after chasing after him for a few more steps, he saw that Qiao Xuan was about to come out from the sickroom.


    Xu Yi passed the flower in his hand to Qiao Xuan, and said one sentence: "This is a gift from Young Master Liang."


    Actually, even if he didn''t say it, Qiao Xuan could already guess that it was a bunch of purple tulips. Her lips curled up into a ridiculing smile: "Does he not know that the purple tulips'' flowery language is loyal love?"


    So what if he gave it to her?


    Xu Yi was startled, but just as he wanted to explain, he saw Qiao Xuan throw the flower into the trash can beside: "Boss Qiao ¡­"


    "I''ll send him my resignation application by e-mail. It''s his business whether I sign or not. I don''t have anything to do with the media anymore." After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards the end of the corridor.


    Qiao Nan saw that Xu Yi still wanted to follow Qiao Xuan, so he immediately stopped him: "My sister, are you not clear enough? If it''s not good for you to pass the message, then let Sheng Liang personally speak."


    Xu Yi watched as the two of them walked further and further away. He couldn''t help but shake his head and sigh.


    He returned back to Sheng Liang''s villa and knocked on the door before entering Sheng Liang''s room. Seeing Luo Keke taking out the needles on Sheng Liang''s hands, he did not say anything and just stood at the side.


    However, when Sheng Liang saw him walk in, she asked: "Did she refuse?"


    Xu Yi nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "Qiao Nan said, he wants you to go personally."


    Sheng Liang lowered his eyes, and looked at Luo Keke for a while, then laughed self-deprecatingly: "What does Doctor Luo think?"


    Luo Keke put down his sleeves, packed his things, and said: "Unless you don''t want to recover."


    Sheng Liang still wanted to say something, but for some reason, a cough arose, making him unable to stop for a long while.


    Luo Keke immediately patted his back, and said with a frown: "See, you want to go out after this? Pneumonia can''t be cured in less than ten days and half a month. If you''re worried, why don''t you let me tell her? "


    Sheng Liang finally stopped his coughing with great difficulty and said in a shallow voice: "She''s been tricked by me, so she''s determined to leave, it''s not that easy to convince."


    Actually, he already knew in his heart that Qiao Xuan was originally such a principled person, which was why he repeatedly compromised.


    But this time, he really couldn''t let her leave. He could only protect her when she was in the Sang City.


    Qiao Xuan did not know what had happened to Sheng Liang, but she had long believed in this person, no matter how many people he asked, no matter what he said, she would not believe him.


    She was packing up in her room, all the things that had to do with him, all the things that had to do with the cold jade, and she was putting them all in a big box to sell as junk.


    After the doorbell rang for a few times, only then did Qiao Xuan realize that there was no one else at home besides her. She stopped what she was doing and walked to the side of the door.


    Just as Qiao Xuan opened the door, he was immediately hugged by the tall man in front of her. He rubbed her shoulders and said, "Did you not eat properly again?


    Qiao Xuan slowly pushed him away, forcing a smile: "Sheng Qian, when did you come back?"


    Didn''t I hear he went to Canada?


    Sheng Qian pointed to the luggage behind him: "I just got off the plane and I came to find you. Are you happy?"


    Qiao Xuan was speechless.


    "Where''s Zhao Xiaowei? Didn''t she go and pick you up?" Qiao Xuan walked in and pretended to close the door naturally, not wanting to let him see what she was packing.


    Sheng Qian pulled the luggage in, and without needing Qiao Xuan to call, he walked to the front of the sofa and sat down, saying unhappily: "Don''t bring her up to me, she''s like a ghost, lingering like a ghost. It''s so annoying."


    If not for avoiding that woman, would he have left Qiao Xuan and went to Canada?


    The expression on Qiao Xuan''s face stiffened. Sheng Liang hated her so much as well.


    "Zhao Xiaowei is doing pretty good. If you learn to treasure it, not everyone will wait for you." Qiao Xuan said lightly. She understood more than anyone else that if she waited alone for too long, she would really be tired.


    Sheng Qian looked at her and slowly said, "I have been waiting for you too. You should also cherish me well, understand?"


    Suddenly, he was stopped, Qiao Xuan did not know how to reply, and could only choose to remain silent.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Sheng Qian quickly changed the topic and laughed: "I have nothing to do anyways, please take a few days off, I''ll bring you to see the snow in Beihai Road."

 C163

    Speaking of which, it seemed that no snow had fallen on Sang City in many years, and the entire winter had become much more boring.


    She wasn''t sure which city she was going to, but she hoped it was snowing in the winter.


    Qiao Xuan still rejected Sheng Qian. She had told him many times, he and Sheng Liang were not enemies. Even if she left Sheng Liang now, she did not insist on being with him.


    But Sheng Qian didn''t seem to care about all this. He continued with his own plans and said that after going to Hokkaido, he could go to New Zealand to see his ranch.


    Seeing him speak so passionately, Qiao Xuan felt too embarrassed to interrupt him, so he could only listen quietly.


    A notification sound came from her phone, she secretly took a look, it was actually from Sheng Liang using that unfamiliar number, he said that he had not signed her resignation letter yet, she hoped that he had considered it carefully.


    So he felt that she was throwing a tantrum or acting on impulse?


    Qiao Xuan did not reply, she felt that she had nothing to say to him.


    "Who is it?" Sheng Qian looked over.


    Qiao Xuan put the phone back in his pocket: "Boring ad."


    "When are you going to ask for a leave of absence? We can leave just like that." Sheng Qian was still very excited.


    Qiao Xuan pursed his lips and looked at him apologetically: "Sorry, I might have to disappoint you."


    The smile on Sheng Qian''s face gradually faded as he asked softly, "Is it because of him?"


    Until he spoke of Sheng Liang, who immediately shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him, I am going to leave the Sang City, maybe in the future ¡­ "They''re not coming back."


    Sheng Qian looked at her expressionlessly for a while, then took out his phone to call someone. He said to Qiao Xuan: "Where are you going, I''ll go with you."


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that he was just saying it casually, but after hearing that the person on the other side of the phone wanted to settle his assets, Qiao Xuan was shocked. She immediately went to grab his phone, wanting to hang up.


    However, as if he had already predicted her movements, Sheng Qian removed his hand. Qiao Xuan didn''t pounce on her, and took the opportunity to embrace her: "I''m relying on you. I''ll go wherever you go in this life."


    Qiao Xuan was silent for a moment. She could hear the sincerity in his tone, and she knew that he wasn''t joking. She was moved, there had never been a man who regarded her as so important.


    But in the end, being moved was not love. What Sheng Qian wanted, she could not give him.


    After Sheng Qian left, Qiao Xuan called Xiao Feng and arranged to meet him at a coffee shop.


    Before going to see Xiao Feng, Qiao Xuan bought a folding blade that was exactly the same as Sheng Liang''s from an outdoor sports goods store. If she wanted to leave Sang City, she had to make Xiao Feng stop looking for the victim.


    By the time Qiao Xuan reached the coffee shop, Xiao Feng had already arrived. As he drew something on the table with his finger, she slowly walked over and stood in front of the table: "Captain Xiao."


    Xiao Feng looked up at her and gestured for her to sit down before placing a cup of coffee in front of her. "I don''t know what you like either.


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan sat down and held his cup.


    Her eyes moved to the side and saw the few names that Xiao Feng had probably written on the table with water. Even though she wasn''t too clear on it, she could still tell that it belonged to her and Sheng Liang.


    She let go of the cup and reached her hand into her pocket, planning to take out the knife and admit that she defended herself and cut Sheng Hua. However, she was still unable to say Sheng Hua''s name.


    However, before she could take out the knife, she heard Xiao Feng say, "If you didn''t look for me today, I would''ve also been looking for you. The woman I told you about last time has been found. We defend ourselves. We also plan to drop the case."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers froze as she stared blankly at Xiao Feng: "Found it? "How did you find it?"


    The person Xiao Feng was looking for was obviously her, and even if Sheng Hua was foolish, the men outside had seen her before. How could they have recognized another woman at the same time?


    Qiao Xuan''s expression was a bit too surprised. Xiao Feng unconsciously asked: "What, Miss Qiao is also interested in solving cases?"


    Qiao Xuan immediately shook his head, and slowly put the dagger back in his pocket, then asked: "Since the person has found it, then do I have to remove the restriction on my legs?"


    "Of course," Xiao Feng smiled. "I was just following the procedures earlier as well. I hope Miss Qiao won''t be angry."


    How could she be angry? She only felt that it was very strange. However, since Xiao Feng was unwilling to reveal it, she did not dare to ask.


    The two of them were silent for a while. Xiao Feng looked at the names written on the table and said, "Miss Qiao has already left Golden Age, right? I''m probably going to fall into a crisis soon. "


    ''s heart trembled. The two words "Golden Age" were like Sheng Liang''s name, and every time she heard it, she couldn''t help but feel her heartbeat speed up. "Why would Captain Xiao say that?"


    Xiao Feng did not answer and only smiled meaningfully. Then, he drank a mouthful of coffee and said in surprise, "The coffee here tastes quite good."


    Qiao Xuan knew that she shouldn''t have cared so much, but after seeing Xiao Feng, her heart was in a mess.


    Xiao Feng would not say something like that. There was definitely a source of information for him to say that.


    Golden Age ¡­ Were they really in a crisis?


    Qiao Xuan thought about the message Sheng Liang had sent her. He probably didn''t know yet, so she wasn''t sure if she should remind him.


    When Qiao Xuan returned home, he saw that Qiao Nan had already returned. He did not know what he had been busy with these past few days, and did not see anyone.


    "Sis, come over and take a look." Qiao Nan sat crossed legged on the sofa, holding onto his computer, and waved at Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan walked over and saw a few beautiful pictures on the page. "Isn''t this Er Hai, what''s wrong?"


    Qiao Nan coughed lightly, as though he was trying his best to conceal his excitement: "Didn''t you say that you want to leave the Sang City? How about we go here? I have already contacted our friends there, we plan to open an inn there.


    Besides, even if I have to leave the Sang City, I do not wish to go to a place that is too far away. As my parents are old, they will not be able to adapt to an environment that is too different from mine. " Qiao Xuan was already extremely guilty in his heart. He had always wanted his parents to leave because of her.


    Qiao Nan thought about it and immediately felt deflated: "Then where are you planning to go?"


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, and then patted his shoulder after a long while: "Don''t worry about it, Xiao Nan, pass mom and dad to me, go find your poetry and the distance. Boy, you have to go out and adventure."


    Previously, she had always felt that Qiao Nan was still a child and wanted to protect him under her protection. But recently, she felt more and more that he had grown up, become a man, and that he had his own dreams. She could not use her own thoughts to restrain him.


    Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, Qiao Nan was stunned for a whole few seconds. Then, he suddenly jumped up and hugged Qiao Xuan: "Sis, thank you."

 C164

    Qiao Xuan pushed him away with all his might and spoke with disdain: "Don''t even mention these fake words, every month you give me the living expenses on time. I don''t plan to work anymore, we will be relying on you to raise us all."


    Qiao Nan frowned: "If you don''t work, and raise fat at home, then you won''t be able to get married."


    "It''s so good to be a family. Why do we have to live with an outsider?" When Qiao Xuan turned around, his eyes were filled with dejection.


    Qiao Nan looked at her from behind. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.


    Qiao Nan was indeed an action sect, everything was settled within a few days, their inn would open for business the moment he arrived.


    Qiao Xuan and his parents went to the airport to send them off. Seeing that his parents were reluctant to part with Qiao Nan, Qiao Xuan did not stop them, and just silently watched them from the back.


    The phone in his pocket rang. Qiao Xuan took it out and saw that it was still the same number that Sheng Liang had used before. On it was written: Your ten o''clock direction.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was in turmoil, she immediately looked in that direction and saw that Sheng Liang was indeed sitting on a chair in the waiting hall.


    Qiao Nan still had some time before he could take off, and his parents seemed to have a lot of things to say to him. Qiao Xuan walked over and said softly, "I''m going to the washroom."


    They didn''t suspect anything and only nodded.


    Qiao Xuan walked to the side. After walking for a while, he stopped and turned to walk towards Sheng Liang.


    Even if he only sat there simply, Sheng Liang''s body seemed to carry a strong aura, making him stand out from the rest, so Qiao Xuan could easily see through him.


    As Qiao Xuan walked in front of him, his gaze was always on her. After not seeing her for half a month, he seemed to have become much thinner, and his face was also pale white, as if he had just recovered from a severe illness.


    "What did you want to say to me?" Qiao Xuan didn''t dare look at him directly, afraid that he would soften his heart.


    "I want you to stay in the Icy Jade City and continue being my CEO, okay?" Sheng Liang''s voice carried a trace of gloominess, and her tone of voice was also not as unspeakable as before.


    Qiao Xuan clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails almost dug into his flesh, "I''ve seen Sheng Hua before, he really doesn''t have any chance of turning the tables this time, I don''t think I have any value left."


    Sheng Liang''s lips stiffened for a moment, then slowly stood up, looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "The past, is my fault. I hope you don''t mind it too much."


    "But I care about that," Qiao Xuan said as he furrowed his brows. "I don''t like to be played around by others like they are pieces.


    "Qiao Xuan!"


    "Qiao, it''s really you!"


    Just as Sheng Liang wanted to say something, he was overshadowed by another voice. When he looked over, he saw a tall and imposing foreign man had already hugged Qiao Xuan, and his brows unconsciously knitted.


    Qiao Xuan was also shocked. He looked at the handsome man with blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin.


    Why was he here?


    "I am so happy to see you at the airport. This must be a surprise that the heavens have arranged for us." Compared to last time, Senior was even more proficient in Chinese.


    When he saw Senior, Luo Jie, who was originally waiting at the side, immediately ran over. Sheng Liang asked him softly: "Could it be that the one working with Golden Age is the Senior family?"


    Sheng Tianhao actually did not tell him anything.


    Luo Jie clearly didn''t know either, and he also didn''t know about the matter between Senior and her, so he didn''t understand the reason why Sheng Liang seemed to be somewhat angry.


    Just that, this man seemed to be very friendly with Qiao Xuan. When he looked at her, his eyes seemed to be shining, and Luo Jie seemed to understand a little, his family''s Young Master Liang must be jealous, right?


    It was really strange, previously when he was sick, Luo Jie had asked him whether he should tell Qiao Xuan or not.


    Then who was he showing such a dark face to now that Qiao Xuan was talking to a foreigner?


    "Um," Luo Jie timely walked to Senior''s side and blocked his path, "It''s Mr. Senior right? I''m the assistant to the President of Golden Age Group, my name is Luo Jie, my car is outside, I''ll take you to the hotel now?"


    Originally, he did not expect Senior to shake his hand, but he did not expect Senior to directly push him away: "You can just bring my luggage to the hotel, and my team of secretaries."


    Luo Jie turned his head, and realised that not far from them, there were five to six foreign women, and they all had the standard valiant German woman appearance, he silently swallowed his saliva, and then looked at Sheng Liang.


    He wanted to take Senior away so that Sheng Liang could be with him alone. However, this foreigner was a little untactful, and he had no other choice.


    But Sheng Liang did not say anything, and there was no emotion in his eyes, as though he was completely unrelated to the matter.


    Qiao Xuan also secretly glanced at Sheng Liang. It was not that she wanted to help him, but she did not want them to miss the chance to work with the Senior family after knowing that Golden Age would be in trouble. She lightly said to Senior: "Go back to the hotel first.


    Senior was a little unhappy: "Qiao Qiao, you are lying to me. Don''t think that I do not understand.


    Luo Jie could not hold back his laughter at the side. This foreigner really had a thorough understanding of Chinese.


    Qiao Xuan was a little guilty, but he still said: "I did not lie to you, I am serious, my parents are over there, I want to send them back."


    Seeing Senior''s open mouth, he knew that he could send them off, so Qiao Xuan hurriedly added: "Today, when my brother left, my family members aren''t in a good mood. Don''t worry, I will definitely come and find you.


    Without waiting for Senior''s response, Qiao Xuan hurriedly left. She knew in her heart that this time, she would definitely go back on her words.


    As she approached her parents, she heard her cell phone ring again. She took it out and looked at it, and there were only a few words on the screen: Is he your first love?


    Qiao Xuan''s footsteps unconsciously stopped. Even if she didn''t look at the number, she knew that it was from Sheng Liang and was asking him.


    About Senior, she seemed to have explained to him a long time ago. At that time, he was still pretending to lose his memories and only asked him a symbolic question, not paying much attention to it. Now that she had decided to give up on him, why did he ask these questions.


    Qiao Xuan deleted the information and placed the phone back into his pocket.


    She did not blacken the number too, only out of caution, for fear of some accident, not some impractical fantasy about him.


    The same mistake, the same one after another, she was truly hopelessly stupid.

 C165

    Qiao Xuan returned to his parents'' side and watched Qiao Nan enter through the gate until he could no longer be seen. Only then, did Qiao¡¯s mother cover his mouth and begin to sob.


    "Why don''t you make him stay?" Qiao¡¯s father teased from the side.


    Qiao¡¯s mother immediately said: "I didn''t say that I won''t let him go. It''s just that it''s Yunnan, not the ends of the earth.


    "As long as you know." Qiao¡¯s father walked out with his hands behind his back.


    Qiao Xuan held his mother''s shoulder, and asked softly. "Mom, will you blame me?"


    She was the one who suggested this, her parents did not comment, but seeing that they were so reluctant, Qiao Xuan suspected that he had done wrong.


    Qiao¡¯s mother patted her hands: "You guys have all grown up, sooner or later you will have to leave. Your father and I have already thought about it for a long time, we have already arranged our future lives well."


    As she watched her mother''s graying hair and the wrinkles on her face deepen, she experienced for the first time the loneliness of her parents when they were not around.


    Qiao Xuan hugged his mother lightly, and buried his face in her neck: "I will not leave your side, I will never leave."


    "What nonsense are you saying, you''re not getting married anymore." Her mother gently patted her back. She had probably suffered too much during this period of time. Before this, she would never act like a spoiled child or show weakness.


    Qiao Xuan slightly shook his head: "I''m not marrying anymore, I just want to accompany you guys."


    There was no place that made her feel safer than home, nor was there anyone who could give in silence, like her parents could, regardless of the rewards.


    In the crowd at the airport lobby, Qiao Xuan hugged his mother like that and did not let go for a long time.


    Sheng Liang quietly looked at her from afar, as if he was thinking about something.


    After sending off Qiao Nan, Qiao Xuan could not bear to bring up the matter of leaving the Sang City again. After all, his parents had lived here for so many years, they had long gotten used to the lifestyle here.


    Moreover, the words she said in the hospital was because she had just lost a child. She felt too sad, so she calmed down during this period of time and knew that escaping from Sheng Liang wouldn''t solve the problem, but when she could face Sheng Liang normally, she had truly forgotten about him.


    When she appeared again in the Icy Jade Media, she saw Xu Yi''s astonished expression. It took him a while to react and he quickly walked in front of her and asked: "Director Qiao, you''re back?"


    She nodded her head, and then looked at the staff who were busy, "Have Sheng Liang made any arrangements ¡­"


    After being away for so many days, the company had to continue operating as usual. She wondered if Sheng Liang had arranged for anyone else to take over from her.


    Xu Yi immediately understood what she wanted to ask, and quickly said: "No, the chairman has been waiting for you to return, he said that there is no one more suitable for this position than you."


    There was no one more suitable than her because there was no one other than her that he could trust and trust.


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything else. She sat on her seat and looked at the Eiffel Tower''s oil painting on the table. She called her secretary in and said, "Please help me change the table.


    The secretary was shocked. She knew that this kind of crystal table was expensive, but seeing that Qiao Xuan did not have any intention to joke around, she quickly said: "Thank you, Director Qiao. I will immediately get a new one for you."


    When she decided to come back, she knew that some relationships were inextricable. For example, he was her boss.


    However, in private matters, she still had the right to choose.


    In the afternoon, just as she was about to get off work, Sheng Liang arrived. Just as he walked to the entrance of her office, he saw the crystal table on top of the secretary''s desk.


    Even though he was already mentally prepared, the fact that Sheng Liang appeared so quickly caught Qiao Xuan off guard. He stood there for a long time before he finally said, "Are you here to inspect the work?"


    Sheng Liang also did not say anything and slowly walked over. She looked at the table she had just changed to, it was a European style, carved into a rose frame, there were no pictures inside, it was still the same picture of a flower.


    He picked it up and asked casually, "So you like this style."


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to say that she had only changed the words for her secretary, but the words were stuck at the tip of her tongue. In any case, she didn''t really care, so why did she have to explain so much?


    The atmosphere became cold for a moment, Qiao Xuan even felt that with Sheng Liang''s personality, he would be leaving very soon, but even so, he did not seem to have any intentions of leaving, and lowered his head to look at the documents that Qiao Xuan had signed.


    "The owner of this Snoopy Clothing Company, Yang Sen, is the investor in the new movie that we''re going to start shooting. We''ll have dinner together tonight, you should come over too and get to know each other." Sheng Liang said as he pointed to the document.


    Since she was in such a position, it was inevitable that she would have to attend a social event. She nodded and said, "I understand."


    Sheng Liang didn''t think that she would agree so readily. He looked at her, then looked at his watch and said: "It''s noon, what are you going to eat?"


    "Xu Yi will help me book it." The Sheng Liang today was a bit like the time he pretended to lose his memory, but Qiao Xuan told himself not to think too much into it.


    Sheng Liang originally wanted to say something, but was stopped in his tracks just like that. He didn''t say anything for a long time.


    When Xu Yi came in, what he saw was the scene in front of him. Neither of them spoke, nor did they exchange any looks.


    "That... Young Master Liang, do you want to eat here at noon? Do you need me to order a meal for you? " Xu Yi''s gaze turned back and forth between the two of them.


    Just as Sheng Liang was about to nod his head, Qiao Xuan suddenly spoke out first: "He isn''t here, he should be heading back to Sheng Shi''s side. With his current identity, it''s not convenient for him to stay here for too long, right?"


    Even Xu Yi seemed to feel that the air was a little tense. He did not dare speak and only looked at Sheng Liang.


    "It doesn''t matter. The others don''t know me. I can trust the two of you." Sheng Liang walked in front of the sofa and sat down, then said to Xu Yi, "I''m fine with it as well as Director Qiao."


    "Alright, I understand." Xu Yi did not expect Sheng Liang to say that, and immediately left happily. Before he left, he did not forget to shut the door for them.


    However, Qiao Xuan looked at him with a frown: "This isn''t really good, right? How are you going to explain this if someone else catches you?"


    This place was so close to Golden Age, and they were a media company to begin with. There were artists coming in and out of here every day, and no one knew how many entertainment opportunities there were outside. If he was caught, his identity would be exposed.


    However, Sheng Liang said as if he did not care, "There''s nothing much to explain, sooner or later, it will be made public."


    But this was not the right time to do that. If he knew that he had his own company, what would Sheng Tianhao think?


    But Sheng Liang didn''t seem to care about that. He just looked at her and asked: "You don''t want me to stay?"

 C166

    Qiao Xuan swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She didn''t know how to answer this kind of question, she didn''t want to get into any more contact with him. But from a job perspective, she couldn''t reject him by a thousand miles.


    "Nope." Qiao Xuan lowered his head, and his eyebrows tightly knitted together.


    Sheng Liang raised his chin, indicating her to sit beside him, and said, "It just so happens that I have some work to ask you, we''ll talk while we eat later."


    Qiao Xuan dragged his feet as he forced himself to sit down. His body was stiff like a statue, he did not dare look at Sheng Liang''s expression.


    This was a situation she did not expect. She thought that Sheng Liang would still be as indifferent as before, not caring about anything at all.


    But what was going on now? It was as if he wanted to see her at a loss on what to do on purpose, and he was still testing her bottom line again and again.


    "This company is my business, I didn''t mean to hide it from you. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at me, so the fewer people who know about it, the better." Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her, "Moreover, your thoughts are simple, if you knew, it would be easy for others to see through you."


    He said that her thoughts were simple, whether it was praise or sarcasm, but she was no longer affected by him. She only said indifferently, "It is no longer important."


    It really wasn''t important anymore, and even if it was before, she wasn''t qualified to argue with him. Moreover, her heart was already as calm as water now.


    Sheng Liang looked at her. Even though she tried her best to conceal it, she could still see the look of hesitation on her face. It was because he disappointed her too deeply that she gave up on him.


    Especially regarding the matter with the child, the harm it did to her was too great. She probably wouldn''t be able to come out for a long time.


    This was her pain, and he didn''t dare mention it, so he couldn''t even speak to comfort her.


    When Xu Yi returned, he saw that the two of them were silent. He pretended not to notice the awkwardness as he smiled and placed the packed dishes in front of them on the table, "Boss Qiao''s dishes were ordered by you before coming here, so they all follow Boss Qiao''s taste. Young Master Liang, are you alright?"


    Xu Yi knew that he was trying to curry favor with Qiao Xuan, so he did not remind him, even if he did not like it, he could not lose his temper, right?


    Sheng Liang did not say anything and just waved his hand. Xu Yi immediately closed the door and went out.


    looked at the exquisite box in front of her. It was her favorite Japanese dish, but Sheng Liang''s taste was different from hers. In the past, when they lived together, she had always followed his taste, so he probably never knew what she liked.


    "If you don''t want to eat it, don''t force it." Qiao Xuan said softly when she saw him holding the chopsticks, but she didn''t know where to start.


    Although he didn''t know the reason, Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang never ate fodder, and she had a soft spot for thorns.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang hesitated for a moment, but still picked up a piece of sashimi and dipped it into the sauce, Qiao Xuan turned his head and did not look at him again.


    Her phone rang. Qiao Xuan took a look and saw that it was from Xu Yi, so she clicked it and saw Xu Yi using a bunch of exclamation marks to tell her that he had forgotten about Sheng Liang''s cold stomach. He told her not to let Sheng Liang eat sashimi.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart suddenly skipped a beat and he reacted. He immediately grabbed Sheng Liang''s arm and reached out to take his chopsticks before putting them down, "Stop eating."


    Sheng Liang was stunned: What''s wrong?


    He even asked her what was wrong, did he not know about his own body? He obviously couldn''t eat cold food, but why was he acting so arrogantly around her?


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was a little sour, and her eyes were slightly red. However, she didn''t want Sheng Liang to see it, so she lowered her head and stood up: "I''ll pour you a cup of water."


    She felt like she had no backbone. She had said that she would no longer care about his matters, but she was just nervous because she was worried that he would have a stomachache. As expected, she could not be indifferent to him.


    She handed him the water. "It''s a little hot, but you should drink it while it''s hot. You just ate something cold, so your stomach might feel uncomfortable."


    Sheng Liang looked at her. From her reaction just now, he knew that it was Xu Yi who told her something.


    Sheng Liang was not one who had slow reactions. He knew very early on that Qiao Xuan liked him, and sometimes he would say things that were too excessive just because he hoped that she could understand and stop.


    The things he carried on his back were too heavy, and he was destined to never give anyone any promises, including Qi Luo.


    They had been together for so long that he had never let anyone else know about their relationship.


    It was just that, he seemed to be unable to endure Sheng Qian pestering him by his side. Especially with Senior''s appearance, he finally realized that he had an extremely strong possessive desire towards Qiao Xuan.


    This was the feeling he had towards Qi Luo.


    "What''s wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing that he did not move the water cup, Qiao Xuan tensed up, but very quickly she realised she had lost control of herself, and her face immediately flushed red. "I don''t have any other intentions, I just ¡­"


    Sheng Liang looked at her playfully as he tweaked the hair beside her ear helplessly. He whispered to her, "The water is too hot, help me blow on it."


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, then lowered her head to look at his ambiguous gaze, as her face became even redder: "It''s not like I''m ¡­"


    She was not his girlfriend or lover, and she had no obligation to do so, but she swallowed the second part of her sentence anyway, because she realized that it sounded like she was losing her temper.


    "Not what?" However, Sheng Liang closed in step by step as if he was watching a show.


    "Nothing," Qiao Xuan frowned, he turned and was about to open the door, "I''ll ask Xu Yi to buy you something else to eat."


    Sheng Liang suddenly reached out and stopped her, "There''s no need to trouble him, I''m not hungry anyway."


    The warmth of his body transmitted through her fingers caused Qiao Xuan''s entire body to tremble as if she had been electrocuted. She hurriedly retracted her hand and said with her head lowered, "How about we ¡­ "Let''s go eat outside ¡­"


    Today, Sheng Liang seemed to have changed into a different person, making it difficult for her to resist. She was worried that someone would come in and see their current state and misunderstand something.


    Seeing that she was becoming more and more anxious like a little deer, the corner of Sheng Liang''s lips curved up slightly.


    He didn''t know before that he actually had this hobby. He just wanted to see her flustered and bashful expression.


    Sheng Liang followed behind Qiao Xuan, patiently waiting for her to explain the situation to him. Then, when she lowered her head and quickly walked past the office, he followed her into the elevator at a leisurely pace.


    There were two female employees inside, when they saw Qiao Xuan, they immediately stopped joking around: "Good morning, Boss Qiao."


    Qiao Xuan''s face was still red, he didn''t dare look straight at them, and only nodded slightly, before standing in front of them.


    Sheng Liang stood to the side. From his angle, he could clearly see all the expressions on Qiao Xuan''s face.


    From the corner of his eyes, Qiao Xuan sensed from the corner of his eyes that Sheng Liang had been watching her the entire time.

 C167

    "Who is he? He''s so handsome."


    "I don''t know. I''ve never seen him before. He''s really handsome."


    As Qiao Xuan listened to the two female employees mumbling and laughing and pushing each other to ask for Sheng Liang''s WeChat number, she unconsciously turned her head to look at Sheng Liang. Seeing that he was no longer looking at her, she gently closed her eyes.


    The elevator door just happened to open at this time. The two female employees apologized and squeezed out from between Qiao Xuan and himself.


    The elevator continued to descend, and only the two of them were left, but Qiao Xuan stood at his original spot without moving, "They seem to have stuffed a slip of paper in front of you, aren''t they going to look at it?"


    She thought that with Sheng Liang''s personality, he would definitely throw her away in disgust, but he didn''t have any reaction at all.


    With his arm suddenly grabbed, before Qiao Xuan could react, his entire person was pulled towards her by Sheng Liang. He whispered into her ear: "Are you jealous?"


    "No." Qiao Xuan immediately denied it, but inexplicably, he felt guilty.


    Sheng Liang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on it was a name and a phone number. He chuckled: "Looks like they won''t be coming to work tomorrow."


    When he said this, Qiao Xuan was surprised for a moment, "You ¡­ You want to expel them? "


    "What else do they think this place is for, to seduce men?" Sheng Liang''s face turned cold.


    His current appearance was the same as usual, but Qiao Xuan still said, "There''s no need to be so strict. Isn''t it normal for girls to have such a reaction when they see the man they like?"


    "Is it normal?" Sheng Liang lowered his head and looked at Qiao Xuan, "Then why are you not one?"


    Qiao Xuan realized that she was trapped by him again. She moved to the side and leaned on the elevator wall, changing the topic: "Where do you want to go to eat later?"


    How could she not? Wasn''t her previous performance obvious? She purposely got drunk before confessing to him. It was just that he didn''t care about her at all.


    "Anywhere." Sheng Liang looked at her expression and knew that he couldn''t force her too hard.


    Qiao Xuan thought of a place, but it was a little far from here. They got into the car park, and Sheng Liang sat in the front seat with his eyes closed.


    Actually, his stomach had been feeling uncomfortable ever since he got in the elevator. He had been in the hospital for so long, yet his body still had not fully recovered. His stomach had become even more fragile, and couldn''t even withstand a little bit of cold.


    Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Xuan thought that he was still angry at what had happened and did not ask further.


    In the afternoon, there were not that many cars on the road. About ten minutes later, they had arrived.


    Sheng Liang pushed open the door of the car, and saw that it was a Chinese restaurant. There were a lot of cars outside, it was like a car park, it looked like business was good.


    Qiao Xuan intentionally got the waiter to find them a room. She knew that Sheng Liang did not like the liveliness, but at this point, the room was already booked to the brim.


    Sheng Liang on the other hand, did not seem to mind, but when they followed the servants over, the gazes of the men towards Qiao Xuan made him feel very uncomfortable, and he unconsciously hugged him.


    Qiao Xuan looked up at him in shock. She saw that his jaw was agape and his face wasn''t good.


    After much difficulty to sit down, just as they were about to order, a person suddenly appeared, laughed and said to Qiao Xuan: "What a coincidence, isn''t this what it means to have come across fate!"


    Senior!


    Sheng Liang''s face became even uglier. This foreigner was really lingering!


    "Why are you here?" Qiao Xuan was also very surprised. With his identity, even if he left his country, he wouldn''t be in this kind of place, right?


    Senior pointed to the girl behind him and said, "My translator said that the dishes here are very delicious, it was right that I came here to try."


    Senior was obviously very excited, he said to the girl: "Go and eat your food, I''ll pay for it."


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan seemed to want to sit down and eat with them. He subconsciously looked at Sheng Liang and saw that his face was extremely ugly, and could no longer be described as ice-cold.


    However, he did not immediately get angry, which made Qiao Xuan a little curious.


    Senior arranged for him to translate before he sat down beside Qiao Xuan. He picked up the menu on the table and passed it to Qiao Xuan: "Feel free to order whatever you want to eat."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even need to raise his eyes to feel the cold gaze from the opposite party. It was so cold that it almost froze the air itself.


    "Sheng Liang, what do you want to eat?" Qiao Xuan pushed the menu towards him. She originally wanted to bring him out for a meal, so she naturally had to follow his taste.


    Sheng Liang, however, did not even look at them, and indifferently replied: "Anything will do."


    "What''s the stewed pork chop? Let''s order this." Seeing that they were not moving, Senior opened the menu and said to Qiao Xuan.


    "I don''t eat beef jerky." Sheng Liang said coldly.


    "Then I want this, what is this pig''s lung soup?" Senior looked at the unknown words in front of him and frowned.


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to tell him that it was the Snow Pear Pig Lung Soup, he heard Sheng Liang say: "Can you eat that, I won''t touch the internal organs of animals."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang and secretly sighed, but he still patiently asked with a light voice: "The medicinal food here is very famous, your stomach is not good, why don''t we make them some mountain medicine and pig belly soup?"


    Sheng Liang said expressionlessly: "I can''t hear what you''re saying clearly."


    Although it was a bit noisy, it shouldn''t be too hard to hear them since they were only separated by a table.


    "Sit over here." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan in a daze and raised his chin towards her.


    Although he did not know what Sheng Liang was angry about, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would do something funny, so he sat down beside him and pointed out the name of the dish.


    Seeing Sheng Liang shake his head, Qiao Xuan asked for the next one, but he still shook his head.


    Senior finally could not hold it in anymore and said to Qiao Xuan: "Don''t worry about him, let him count."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang: "What do you want to eat?"


    He wanted to eat her!


    This thought suddenly popped up in Sheng Liang''s mind, and then, it was something that he could not shake off no matter how hard he tried.


    Actually, he had always known that back at the hotel, it was not because Qiao Xuan drank too much that he kept following her. It was he himself who could not help it.


    "Whatever." This thought made Sheng Liang''s mouth go a little dry. He secretly swallowed his saliva and his tone became more gentle.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what to do anymore. Thinking that Sheng Liang might be picky because he didn''t have a good appetite, she could only go along with his plan. "Then, how about this?


    "Yes." Sheng Liang finally nodded, because he saw that the jealousy in Senior''s dark blue eyes seemed to want to burn him to nothingness.

 C168

    "Did you do it on purpose?" When Qiao Xuan went to confirm the menu from the waiter, he clenched his teeth and looked at Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang sipped some tea and declined to comment: "You should know my relationship with Qiao Xuan, so I advise you to retreat if you know the difficulties."


    "Your relationship with each other is fake." Did he think that he had not investigated!?


    Sheng Liang chuckled. "How do you know that''s not true?"


    "Whether it''s true or false has nothing to do with me. Leave Qiao Gang or your Sheng Family will be stepped on. Don''t you know how powerful our Mafia is?" The Chinese man in front of him probably didn''t know that he was here to buy Golden Age. When the time came, even the ants would be inferior to the third young master of Sheng Family, but this matter was still a secret and he couldn''t reveal it.


    Sheng Liang scoffed and ignored him. Was the legendary heir of the Senior Family only this intelligent?


    When Qiao Xuan returned, he saw the two of them had different expressions. The atmosphere seemed to be different so he couldn''t help but ask, "What were you two talking about just now?"


    Senior hugged his shoulders and sat there, not saying a word.


    Sheng Liang''s body slowly leaned forward on the table, and he said with a frown: "I think I''m starting to have a stomachache."


    The pain in his stomach was real, but not unbearable. It was just an exaggeration.


    Seeing him like this, Qiao Xuan was extremely worried. She supported him and asked, "Does it hurt really bad, do you want to go to the hospital?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head, but his expression was still painful: "No need, it''ll be fine after a while, help me massage it."


    Qiao Xuan was at a loss as to what to do, but hearing him say that, without even thinking, he agreed immediately.


    Although the temperature outside was very low, the hot air in the dining room was very strong. Everyone took off their coats and placed it at the side, so Sheng Liang only wore a shirt, with one of his hands on his stomach, he gently massaged: "Is it better like this?"


    Sheng Liang nodded, feeling her soft hands rubbing against his clothes, his previous thought became even stronger.


    Senior watched them from the side and suddenly stood up. "Qiao, I''ll be leaving first!"


    When he said it, his tone was very heavy. Actually, he wanted Qiao Xuan to stop him, but he didn''t expect Qiao Xuan to only say "Okay".


    Sheng Liang watched as Senior left in a huff, and he also held onto Qiao Xuan''s hands: "Alright, I''m fine now."


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to immediately take his hand off, but he was frightened by the temperature of his hand: "Why are your hands so cold, put on your clothes."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan taking his jacket and putting it on him, he did not object, "Thank you."


    "You''re welcome." Seeing the look in his eyes, Qiao Xuan realized once again that she seemed to be subconsciously tensed up about him.


    The restaurant was extremely hot and Qiao Xuan''s face was still blushing. Adding her current cute short hair, she looked even more cute, not like her usual strong woman at all.


    He didn''t think about it in the past, so he didn''t think it was possible either. However, the more Sheng Liang looked at it now, the more he found it impossible to shift his gaze away from her.


    She helped Sheng Liang fill a bowl and said lightly: "After we finish eating dinner in a while, I''ll have Xu Yi send you back."


    "Why didn''t you send me off?" Sheng Liang turned to look at her, asking even though he already knew the answer.


    Qiao Xuan''s gaze avoided his gaze and her heart slowly sank: "I still have things to do."


    "Qiao Xuan ¡ª" Sheng Liang reached out to grab her hand, but she panicked and dodged him, "I have something to tell you."


    Qiao Xuan suddenly stood up, walked to the side and sat down, but kept his head down: "If it''s a matter of work, you can directly tell Xu Yi, if it''s a private matter, then it''s better not to say anymore."


    From his performance today, Qiao Xuan could roughly guess what happened. No, it wasn''t early nor late, and it was right when Senior appeared that he wanted to use her to deal with Senior.


    She admitted that even now, she still couldn''t end her humble single love affair. However, that didn''t mean that she would help him without any limits.


    Her thoughts, would naturally not escape Sheng Liang''s eyes. It was just that even though he knew that she had misunderstood him, he had no way to refute her.


    Fortunately, he was glad that he had discovered this before she had completely left his world. In the days to come, he would do everything he could to ask for her forgiveness.


    Sheng Liang still called Luo Jie over. He understood that there were some things that couldn''t be rushed and needed to slowly heal because of the huge wound in Qiao Xuan''s heart.


    The sky was gray, and the temperature was dropping lower and lower, as if it were going to snow.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s car disappear, Sheng Liang asked Luo Jie in a low voice: "Has anything happened over at the Old Master''s side?"


    Luo Jie shook his head: "Nothing. I was in the middle of a meeting a moment ago, saying how to recover the losses caused by the loss of your project data."


    Sheng Liang squinted, "He really can hold it in."


    With Sheng Tianhao''s keen senses, he should be able to detect something very quickly. However, he still had not checked his accounts, and was even pretending to hold a meeting, what was he thinking about?


    "Young Master Liang, could it be that Chairman already knew of our plan and was purposely cooperating with us?" Luo Jie carefully looked at Sheng Liang''s expression. He knew that this argument would definitely make Sheng Liang disgusted.


    Sheng Tianhao, is that possible?


    Sheng Liang snorted coldly, then walked to the side of the carriage. No matter how Sheng Tianhao thought about it, his plans had no way to stop.


    In the end, what Sheng Family owed them and their son many years ago still had to be paid in such a manner.


    After work in the afternoon, Xu Yi came in and said to Qiao Xuan, "Boss Qiao, Young Master Liang is waiting for you in the parking lot."


    Qiao Xuan was thinking about taking her to see Yang Sen at night, but she left at noon. She thought that Sheng Liang must be angry, but did not expect him to come back.


    After packing his things, Qiao Xuan took the elevator down to the underground parking lot. Just as she heard the sound of a car horn, she looked over and saw Sheng Liang''s car.


    "You drive." Sheng Liang pushed open the car door for her, and said lightly.


    Qiao Xuan sat on top of the bed and wanted to ask if he was still feeling unwell, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn''t manage to ask.


    "Maple Leaf Hotel." Sheng Liang leaned on his seat and turned his head to watch her drive. From this position, he could clearly see Qiao Xuan''s expression.


    Maybe because his gaze was too hot, Qiao Xuan''s face was burning a little as she said with a frown: "If you''re like this, I can''t even drive properly anymore."


    "I didn''t do anything." Sheng Liang spoke innocently.


    Qiao Xuan now knew why he had let her drive the car. She no longer spoke and didn''t look at him.


    Luckily the Maple Leaf Hotel was not too far away, and they quickly reached it. Qiao Xuan alighted from the carriage and heaved a sigh of relief.


    When they walked in together, Sheng Liang suddenly grabbed her hand. Sensing that she wanted to struggle free, he tilted his head and whispered into her ear, "From now on, if I say that you are my girlfriend, otherwise, you would be taken advantage of by that perverted Yang Sen."

 C169

    If he really cared about her, he wouldn''t have brought her to meet that kind of person.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart turned cold, although he did not struggle free, his body was still mechanically cooperating.


    Someone came down to pick them up, and brought them to an antique private room. There were paintings of mountains and rivers on the wall, and there were even miniature fake mountains, flowing water, and bamboo forests in the room. Even the dining table was an antique wood.


    "How about this place, is it beautiful?" A young man in a white Tang suit came in from behind them, smiling proudly as he asked.


    "Thank you. Only you can find such a place." Sheng Liang embraced Qiao Xuan''s shoulders and introduced him to her, "He is Yang Sen."


    "Hello, Miss Qiao." Yang Sen smiled meaningfully at Sheng Liang, then extended his hand towards Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was a little confused. Didn''t they say that they needed to see the investors, but this Yang Sen seemed to be very familiar with Sheng Liang. To be more precise, Qiao Xuan rarely saw him talking to other people in such a relaxed manner, or rather, it should be said that he was very familiar with Sheng Liang. Affability.


    Seeing that Yang Sen wanted to shake hands with her, Qiao Xuan instinctively reached out his hand, "Hello."


    But halfway through, Sheng Liang suddenly held her hand, looked at Yang Sen and said: "Forget about these clich¨¦s, where are the others?"


    "For such an important day like this, I naturally have to meticulously prepare." Yang Sen pretended to be disappointed and looked meaningfully at Qiao Xuan as he retracted his hand.


    Qiao Xuan secretly glanced at Sheng Liang. She was sure that she had been deceived again, the reason he brought her here was definitely not for some movie investment.


    "I suddenly remember that I have something important to do, so I''ll be leaving first." Qiao Xuan withdrew his hand from Sheng Liang''s palm and turned to leave.


    Sheng Liang did not move, and asked softly: "Today is my birthday, can''t I stay?"


    Qiao Xuan''s footsteps suddenly stopped. She didn''t seem to know about his birthday at all.


    She had read about him before, but his birthday hadn''t even appeared on the tabloids.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not turn around, Yang Sen also added, "That''s right, you can stay.


    After so many years, was this his first birthday? Qiao Xuan''s heart softened as he slowly turned around, "Sorry, I didn''t know it was your birthday, so I didn''t prepare a present."


    "The best gift is that you can stay." Sheng Liang''s voice was low, but his eyes were jumping with joy.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to react. Coincidentally, a few people walked in at this time, there were two men she didn''t know, and the other two were Mo Lin and Luo Keke.


    From the looks of it, these people were his friends, and very important ones at that.


    Luo Keke walked over and hugged Qiao Xuan for a bit, then said lightly: "It''s great that you''re here, today is truly very important to A Liang."


    Qiao Xuan felt that what they were saying was important, and definitely not because today was Sheng Liang''s birthday.


    "Look what I brought," said Morin, shaking the two bottles of champagne in his hand. "Don Perignon, in 2002, must drink champagne on such a festive day."


    "Speaking of which, you are also a beneficiary. Two bottles of champagne is too insatiable." Yang Sen mocked.


    The two men Qiao Xuan did not know also laughed and said: "That''s right, Second Brother, in order to help you hide your identity, how much effort did A''Liang and us put in? Last time, he almost went to jail."


    Qiao Xuan knew that they were talking about when Sheng Hua framed Sheng Liang. Sheng Liang could actually use evidence to testify against Sheng Hua, but in order to protect Mo Lin, he did not want to take it out.


    Just as Mo Lin was about to say something, Sheng Liang had already taken over, "Don''t mention the past anymore, of course it''s because you''re here that I dare to do that."


    They just smiled at each other and didn''t say anything else. The waiter just happened to push a cart full of champagne cups over to them. They started to set it down themselves, layer by layer.


    Qiao Xuan sat at the side watching, and said to Luo Keke in a light voice: "I didn''t know in the past, but it turns out Sheng Liang had so many friends." She had always thought that he was alone.


    Luo Keke smiled lightly: "It''s not that he doesn''t have any friends, it''s just that he''s not willing to drag us all into his grudge. Unless it''s absolutely necessary, he won''t let us interfere."


    From Luo Keke''s words, Qiao Xuan found out that Yang Sen was not only Snoopy''s boss, he was also the successor to Sang City''s biggest hotel chain.


    The other two, one the most influential people in the police force in the next two decades, and the other the youngest and most educated prosecutor in the city''s prosecutor''s office.


    As Sheng Liang poured the champagne, he would occasionally look in Qiao Xuan''s direction. Seeing her happily chatting with Luo Keke, he pondered on whether or not he should tell her about it.


    "Come on, it''s opened!" Maureen shouted.


    Luo Keke pulled Qiao Xuan up and walked over with her. However, Mo Lin intentionally pulled Luo Keke over to his side.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that he was alone, and was at a loss of what to do. At this time, Sheng Liang walked to her side, turned his head and glanced at her.


    The Champagne Tower was already set up, and a few people started to coax Sheng Liang to pour the champagne. After all, he was the one who initiated this gathering.


    Qiao Xuan''s hand was suddenly held, causing her to be startled for a moment. Then, she heard Sheng Liang say: "Come with me."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to refuse, but seeing that everyone else was looking at them and it was Sheng Liang''s birthday, she didn''t want to give him any face.


    Sheng Liang supported her as he helped her stand up. Holding her hand, he poured a bottle of champagne from the top of the bottle.


    Yensen took the lead in applauding, then picked up a glass of champagne and said, "Happy birthday to you, Mr.


    "Today comes year after year, and today comes year after year!"


    "Is something missing?" the young prosecutor asked, smiling. "I thought there was a diamond ring in one of the glasses."


    Hearing these words, Qiao Xuan seemed to have sensed something. She slightly frowned, broke free of Sheng Liang''s hand, and got down from the top herself. She also took a glass of champagne and said to Sheng Liang: "Happy birthday."


    After she finished speaking, she raised her head and downed the cup in one gulp. Then, she placed the cup down and slightly bowed towards the crowd. "I''m sorry, I still have other things to do. I''ll be taking my leave first."


    She quickly turned around and walked towards the door but her arms were still grabbed by Sheng Liang. Everyone quieted down and quietly watched them.


    "Qiao Xuan, I know I have done a lot of things to hurt you before. I will do my best to make up for it. Sheng Liang''s tone was calm, these words had already been imitated many times in his heart.


    Qiao Xuan slowly retracted her hand, and turned around to look at his sincere face. Her chest suddenly felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and her breathing was aching: "How are you going to make up for it, the child that I lost, will be able to go back into my stomach and continue growing?"

 C170

    Sheng Liang was stunned, he had never seen Qiao Xuan this angry. No matter how he made decisions without her permission before, he always thought that she would accept them and cooperate with him. In fact, Qiao Xuan had always done that.


    But that child had obviously touched her bottom line.


    "I''m sorry." He probably did not have such a deep feeling about Qiao Xuan, but the sudden loss of that small life was also his regret.


    Thinking about that child, Qiao Xuan was unable to control her emotions, but she tried her best not to shed tears: "You don''t have to apologize, and you didn''t do anything wrong. I just want to tell you that there are some things that are between us that can never be crossed over. I didn''t leave because I didn''t want to run away, and I didn''t want to start anything, not because I still loved you. But don''t worry, I will separate business from personal affairs. In the future, our relationship will be limited to you being my boss and me being your subordinate. That''s all. Happy Birthday, I hope you have a good time. Goodbye. "


    Without even giving him a chance to speak or a chance to regret it, Qiao Xuan walked out of the door. She did not dare stop her steps until she exited the hotel.


    She was thankful that Sheng Liang did not chase after her. She also hoped that he would be as resolute and decisive as before.


    Sheng Liang was actually right behind her. When he saw her desperately trying to breathe, drowning, he suddenly couldn''t bear to pester her anymore.


    He had single-handedly created this situation. The only thing to blame was that when she was by his side, he was driven by his own hatred, so he couldn''t see what she had done. When he finally understood, she was already riddled with holes.


    He watched as Qiao Xuan shivered on the cold winter street. He wanted to go forward to hug her, but just as he moved his feet, he saw that she had already boarded a taxi and left.


    The sky was abnormally cold and the cold wind was howling. Sheng Liang raised his head and looked at the pitch-black night sky.


    It''s going to snow.


    On the day of New Year''s Day, snow indeed started falling from the sky, and very soon, the ground was covered in a layer of white.


    Qiao Xuan had accompanied her parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala last night and saw them very late. When she woke up early in the morning and heard the knock on the door, she couldn''t react in time.


    "Qiao Xuan, are you awake? If you don''t answer, I''ll be coming in." Someone called out from outside, his voice full of joy.


    Sheng Qian?


    Qiao Xuan immediately woke up from his stupor. Why did this fellow come here so early in the morning, and how excited he was at the entrance of her room? She would definitely be scolded to death by her parents in a moment.


    "Don''t come in, wait for me!" Qiao Xuan hurriedly said, then hastily changed his clothes before walking over and opening the door.


    "Happy New Year!" Sheng Qian sprayed the colorful paper gigolo at Qiao Xuan, showering him with it.


    When Qiao Xuan saw the unhappy expressions of his parents, he immediately pulled Sheng Qian and introduced him to them: "Dad, Mom, this is my friend, Sheng Qian."


    When the Qiao family''s parents heard this name, they unconsciously looked at each other. When they opened the door for Sheng Qian, they thought that Qiao Xuan had found a new boyfriend, but it turns out to be Sheng Family again.


    Sheng Qian never needed to look at someone''s face, but he was exceptionally obedient to the Qiao Family''s parents: "Uncle, Auntie, I want to take Qiao Xuan for a walk. I''ll definitely send her back before 8 PM. Oh, by the way, I heard that you guys like watching movies. I''ve booked a place at Xinle City, and someone will be coming to pick you up soon. "


    The old couple looked at each other, and then they started to bribe them. The so called "eating people while holding back" meant that if they agreed, Qiao Xuan would not have any leeway left.


    "That... "We should still ¡­" Qiao¡¯s father wanted to say that they better not go and watch TV at home.


    But before he finished speaking, Sheng Qian interrupted him and said, "Today seems to be Uncle and Auntie''s wedding anniversary. I specially made them put on your heartfelt movie Roman Holiday.


    Qiao Xuan sighed inwardly. He really had done his homework, if it was any other movie, with her father''s stubbornness, they wouldn''t be moved at all. But even at his age, he had no resistance against Audrey and Ben.


    Therefore, the result was that Sheng Qian used just one movie to buy off her parents.


    When they went downstairs, Qiao Xuan realized that it was snowing outside, and that there were a few kids fighting in the plaza of the small district.


    She had not felt that every time she passed the square and looked at the children since she had lost them, she would stop and stare at them, imagining that if her children were still there, he would be running beside her like they were, hugging her and calling her mother, and her eyes would be wet at the thought of that.


    Sheng Qian watched her face from the side, his fist clenched slightly. He really blamed himself for not being by her side when she was in her most difficult times.


    He had also gone to find Sheng Liang, and had even started a fight with him. If it wasn''t for the fact that Sheng Liang was unable to endure due to the fever, he definitely wouldn''t have let him off so easily.


    A younger child suddenly fell in front of them. Qiao Xuan hurriedly helped him up and lightly patted the snow on his clothes. He even used his handkerchief to wipe his tears away: "Did it hurt?


    The child was still sobbing softly as he looked at Qiao Xuan with his clear black and white eyes. It was so pure and innocent.


    A soft and gentle feeling slowly spread out from the bottom of Qiao Xuan''s heart as if it had been touched, and suddenly, his eyes became moist.


    "Auntie, you''re crying," the child used his small, cool hands to wipe Qiao Xuan''s tears, "I really don''t feel pain, Auntie, don''t cry anymore."


    The snow in the child''s hands also fell onto Qiao Xuan''s face, flowing down together with the warmth in her eyes, as if she was unable to control it no matter what.


    Seeing her like this, the child panicked a little and quickly raised her head to look at Sheng Qian for help.


    Sheng Qian rubbed the child''s head: "It''s alright, go play."


    The child still looked a little worried, but she still listened to Sheng Qian and walked away.


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan, who was squatting on the ground and wiping away his tears, as if he was afraid that he would see her miserable state.


    He suddenly pulled her up and tightly hugged her in his embrace. No matter how Qiao Xuan struggled, he still wasn''t willing to let go.


    Qiao Xuan immediately stopped struggling as he buried his face in his shoulder and did not move for a long time.


    So when Sheng Liang got out of the car, what he saw was the scene in front of him right now.

 C171

    Indeed, Qiao Xuan hated him to the extreme, which was why she used such a method to retaliate against him.


    "Young Master Liang ¡­" Seeing this, Luo Jie also frowned, and looked at Sheng Liang worriedly.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything and turned around to return. He knew that even if he went over now, it would only make it worse.


    Once the dust settled, he would have the capital to give her a promise. If he failed, then he could rest assured with her current state.


    Hearing the sound of the engine getting farther and farther away, Qiao Xuan''s fingers unconsciously grabbed onto Sheng Qian''s clothes, bit on his lower lip tightly, and stopped crying.


    She was afraid that if Sheng Liang continued to pester her, she would not be able to resist and be soft-hearted. If that happened, she really wouldn''t be able to forgive herself.


    Only Sheng Qian, who had his back to the door, did not know what had happened. He thought that Qiao Xuan was too sad and thought that he was relying on him, but just as he was about to secretly rejoice, Qiao Xuan released him.


    Qiao Xuan lowered his head, feeling very guilty, "I shouldn''t have used you as a shield."


    There was no difference between using Sheng Qian like this and her.


    Sheng Qian subconsciously looked back. Although he did not see anything, he understood what she meant. He smiled indifferently and said, "I should feel honored. I still have this kind of value."


    As he said that, he took out a phone watch-like thing from his pocket and placed it on Qiao Xuan''s wrist without saying anything. "Don''t waste your energy trying to take it off.


    "I''m not a child, why are you wearing this for me?" Qiao Xuan shot a glance at him before continuing to walk forward. As his feet stepped on the snow, creaking sounds could be heard.


    Sheng Qian followed behind her, not too far away and not too close: "This watch has a positioning function, it''s connected to my phone. That way, I can know where you are at any time." If she was in danger, he could rush over immediately and not let her get hurt again.


    Qiao Xuan was slightly moved, but she did not stop, and only asked lightly: "Where''s Zhao Xiaowei, I feel that she''s a good person, it''s very suitable for you two to be together."


    "I''m a good person too, but aren''t you always going to reject me?" Sheng Qian laughed at himself.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head to look at him, and just as he was about to say something, Sheng Qian had already walked over and put his arm around her shoulders. "It''s the new year, don''t frown.


    Qiao Xuan never thought that the good place that Sheng Qian mentioned would be the largest playground with Sang City. From the merry-go-round to the roller coaster, Sheng Qian had practically played with her every single one of their projects.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan was a little afraid of heights, especially when she sat on the flying discs. When she heard the screams of the people beside her, she was even more afraid.


    Sheng Qian held her hand tightly and shouted her name loudly, "Qiao Xuan, I love you, and I want to be together with you forever!"


    When Qiao Xuan heard his voice, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. The wind was howling in her ears, and the scenery around her was spinning quickly.


    Other men followed Sheng Qian and shouted out the names of people they liked. The screams gradually disappeared and turned into cheers.


    There was an emotion surging in everyone''s heart, as though it was going to jump out of their chests. Only Qiao Xuan, who had been agitated by the battle, calmed down even more.


    Coming down from the top, Sheng Qian was still excited, he asked Qiao Xuan with a smile: "How is it, is it exciting?"


    "Sheng Qian, I still want to tell you ¡ª"


    The moment Qiao Xuan opened his mouth, Sheng Qian made a silent gesture towards her: "Don''t say anything, those are not important to me, I only want you to be happy, could it be that you''re not even willing to agree to my request?"


    "I ¡­" Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to refute that. Agreeing or rejecting, didn''t seem to be the best answer.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Sheng Qian laughed again and pulled her away, "I promised your parents that I would send you back before 8 o''clock, so I don''t have much time. Let''s go to another place."


    Sheng Qian raised his hand to look at the time, and lightly counted down a few numbers. When he counted to one, the sky above the Plaza in the fifteenth century suddenly blossomed with clusters of fireworks. The brilliant colors of the fireworks nearly illuminated the entire sky.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to be romantic, but the fireworks in the sky still shocked her. It was as if her father had given her a name, one that was as beautiful as a summer flower.


    Unfortunately, the beautiful scenery was always fleeting. No matter how resplendent it was, it would only last for a split-second.


    As promised, Sheng Qian sent Qiao Xuan back before eight o''clock. However, the fireworks in the Plaza of the Century lasted for an entire night.


    Hence, the next morning, Qiao Xuan''s phone was flooded with news like this. What New Year''s Eve, a tycoon throwing millions of fireworks for the sake of a beauty with a smile, chasing after him all over the internet, who exactly was the mysterious rich guy who bought 2.8 million fireworks on New Year''s Eve?


    Although Qiao Xuan had returned home early and did not know what had happened, she knew from the location of the news that they were talking about Sheng Qian.


    When he thought about Sheng Qian, Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but frown. She really didn''t know what she had to do to understand that it was impossible for them to be together.


    On New Year''s Day, Qiao Xuan had been staying at home the entire time. Other than watching videos with Qiao Nan, he would lie on the sofa and watch TV, and he rarely looked at his phone, so he had no idea what kind of earth-shattering things were happening on his Sang City.


    Senior''s family had successfully purchased Golden Age Tianan Corporation, the number one financial group that had always held the absolute position in the Sang City. Just like that, they changed owners overnight, and the second day after the Senior family took over, their stocks began to drop.


    When Luo Jie was reporting all these to Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang and Yang Sen were playing golf at the Lanhu Golf Field. Yang Sen laughed and said, "That German fellow is probably so angry that his nose is crooked right now."


    Sheng Liang watched as the ball went into the hole and passed the bat to the ball boy. He asked Luo Jie, "Did the old man still not do anything?"


    Luo Jie shook his head: "I can''t say I didn''t do anything. I''ve been busy these past few days looking for people to play Go.


    Yang Sen looked at Sheng Liang, "What kind of trick is this? He''s such a cunning old fox, how can he not know that this is your work?"


    Sheng Liang looked into the distance. He had already anticipated this day for a long time, but it had really come to this moment in time.


    He had used such a long time to slowly turn Golden Age into an empty shell, little by little. All of these bustling things were just appearances, in order to make it sell at a good price in the end and could be considered as worthy of Sheng Tianhao raising him up for all these years.


    As for the Senior Family, they bumped into him themselves, so he couldn''t be blamed.

 C172

    The only thing that Sheng Liang was worried about was Sheng Tianhao. Until now, he still could not understand what Sheng Tianhao was thinking.


    Since young, Sheng Tianhao had always been extremely strict with him, and even the tiniest mistake, Sheng Tianhao would still fly into a rage.


    In everyone''s minds, Sheng Tianhao''s attitude towards him was one of extreme disgust and loathing.


    But it seemed that every time he was kicked out of the house, it ended with him receiving a cruel punishment.


    Actually, he had thought that if Sheng Tianhao really hated him that much, he could throw him out and let him fend for himself.


    The so-called pressure of public opinion, when there were new discussions, people had long forgotten about this matter.


    He had been waiting for Sheng Tianhao''s attitude the entire time just to verify the guess in his heart, but up till now, Sheng Tianhao still had not made a single move.


    Just as he was deep in thought, Luo Jie walked over to his side with her phone and whispered: "Senior''s secretary, she said that Senior wants to invite you to dinner."


    "This must be the Hongmen Feast, you can''t go." Yang Sen directly said.


    Luo Jie nodded his head: "I think so too, and that Senior, he might have a gun, it''s too dangerous."


    "Although his IQ is not high enough, he still has some ruthlessness. If I don''t go, next time he won''t use such a civilized way to invite me." Furthermore, what Sheng Liang was most afraid of was that Senior would drag Qiao Xuan into this.


    Seeing his resolute attitude, Luo Jie and Yang Sen could not say anymore.


    After flying back to Sang City from Shenzhen, Sheng Liang didn''t go back to his room even after returning home. He only rested on the sofa for a while.


    Qing Qing was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she took a blanket and lightly covered his body, but she still woke him up. Qing Qing was immediately a little helpless: "Sorry, Sir, I was afraid that you would catch a cold sleeping like this, so ¡­."


    When Sheng Liang first opened his eyes, he thought that the person in front of him was Qiao Xuan.


    Qing Qing placed the newspaper in front of him and quickly left.


    He rubbed his sore forehead and slowly opened the newspaper. He had originally wanted to see how the society evaluated Golden Age''s change of ownership.


    However, just as he opened it, he saw a large section in the colourful page reporting the incident of fireworks on New Year''s Eve in the World Plaza.


    The most important thing was that many people had seen the colourful Qiao Xuan''s five words, "I love you", appearing in the sky.


    Sheng Liang unconsciously creased his eyebrows, then, he suddenly thought of something and immediately took the phone. As expected, even after two days, the matter still appeared in many unremarkable places.


    There were countless of comments below, all of them were filled with jealousy and envy, and some people even dug out Qiao Xuan''s personal information.


    This was what Sheng Liang was worried about. He was too clear about the speed at which the internet was spreading and the terror of public opinion.


    Sheng Liang immediately gave Luo Jie a call, telling him to settle this issue, the public relations fees were not taken into consideration.


    He knew that Sheng Qian was probably trying to think of a way to remedy the situation as well. Otherwise, he would have definitely made it to the top of the search engine long ago.


    He watched as the passionate discussion among the people disappeared one by one. Some were given titles while others were forbidden to speak. After an hour, the discussion on the front page of the news portal had stopped. He heaved a sigh of relief.


    He placed the phone to the side and took out another phone from his pocket. On the phone, there was only Qiao Xuan''s number.


    He didn''t throw away the phone nor did he take out the card to put into his phone. Somehow, he felt that this way, she would only be his.


    After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Qiao Xuan''s number, but she did not pick up even after a long time.


    In the snow, the scene of her and Sheng Qian hugging each other was still flashing continuously before his eyes. Even though he knew that she was only using Sheng Qian to force him to let go, how could he really do it as if it didn''t matter?


    Moreover, Sheng Qian truly had that kind of intention towards her.


    The door suddenly opened, and Luo Jie walked in quickly. He looked at Sheng Liang and said: "I''ve already let them filter out the key words, and all the accounts that discuss this topic are forbidden to speak of it, but ¡­"


    Seeing Luo Jie''s serious expression, Sheng Liang guessed what Luo Jie was going to say. He took over the Ipad that Luo Jie handed over and saw an account named "I am a person who knows", which revealed Qiao Xuan''s personal experience, including her messy relationships with the three Sheng Family brothers, such as staying overnight at a hotel, pregnancy, and abortion, which was described in great detail, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.


    He had even fabricated the evidence that Qiao Xuan was the young miss who sat on the stage a few years ago.


    "Can''t find this person''s IP address?" Sheng Liang asked.


    Luo Jie shook his head: "It''s an address from a foreign country, there''s simply no way to check it."


    Sheng Liang had predicted this, this person was clearly doing this on purpose, as he wanted to ruin Qiao Xuan''s image. He was also sure that this person knew of his movements behind the scenes, so how could they easily find out?


    Sheng Liang stood up, picked up his jacket and walked out: "You can stay here and watch, if there''s any news, inform me."


    "Young Master Liang ¡­" Luo Jie called out, and came to a stop after realizing Sheng Liang was going to look for Qiao Xuan, but he still warned him, "Be careful on the road."


    He wasn''t worried about Sheng Liang''s abilities at all, he also had Xu Yi by his side. Luo Jie thought that there shouldn''t be any problems, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.


    At this time, Qiao Xuan should still be busy, so he directly drove to the Fei Leng Cui restaurant. When he was downstairs, he first called Xu Yi, but heard from him that Sheng Qian was there as well.


    Sheng Qian...


    Sheng Liang''s gaze darkened. In the past, he had never felt that Sheng Qian was a threat, but in his eyes, Sheng Qian was just a standard playboy. He did not have much ambition, nor did he have any vicious methods.


    So in the beginning, he thought that Sheng Qian was just like before, and would not have much patience with Qiao Xuan. However, in these past few days, it seems that things weren''t as it used to be.


    Sheng Qian was serious.


    Sheng Qian never thought that just releasing a firework for Qiao Xuan would cause her so much trouble.


    Sheng Qian reached out and turned off Qiao Xuan''s computer, her good-looking brows tightly knitted together. "This bastard, it''s best if I don''t know who he is!"


    Qiao Xuan was actually very calm. She was always immune to rumors, but she was a little worried that her parents would see it.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely find him." Sheng Qian said confidently, then said, "Recently, it''s best if you don''t go out too much. I''ll pick you up after work."


    Qiao Xuan laughed and said: "No need, it''s not that exaggerated. I think it''s just someone playing a prank on me, just leave it to him, I don''t care about it."

 C173

    Even though she said that, reputation was extremely important to a woman. It was impossible for Qiao Xuan to be that indifferent, she just didn''t want Sheng Qian to blame himself.


    Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Xuan turned his head and said a word to come in. Then, he saw that the person who had pushed open the door was actually Sheng Liang.


    She was stunned for a moment. She never would have thought that Sheng Liang would come to look for her after seeing her and Sheng Qian hugging each other.


    Or perhaps it should be official business. After Golden Age is purchased, he would reveal his current identity.


    When Qiao Xuan saw the news that Golden Age had been bought by the Senior Family and the stock market had plunged, she finally understood what Yang Sen and the rest had said.


    The reason why Golden Age had fallen to such a state was probably because Sheng Liang had always added fuel to the fire.


    Sheng Qian was not surprised, he knew that the V that followed the wind and scolded Qiao Xuan did not disappear out of nowhere, the only person he could think of was Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan and Sheng Qian stood in front of the french window, and the two were very close. Even though their bodies didn''t touch each other, Sheng Liang still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.


    "Such a great upheaval occurred in the golden age. As his father''s most beloved son, shouldn''t Fourth Brother be by his side?" There was some ridicule and ridicule in Sheng Liang''s tone. As he said that, he had already walked in front of them and pulled Qiao Xuan to his side.


    Sheng Qian laughed coldly: "Isn''t it all thanks to you that Golden Age has changed so much? What are you saying here?"


    Their eyes met, and the air instantly froze. An invisible stream of smoke spread between the two of them.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, he immediately told Sheng Qian: "You can go back first, I''ll give you a call if anything happens."


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan. Did she really still choose Sheng Liang?


    "I will let you see his true face." Sheng Qian looked at Sheng Liang hatefully, then directly walked towards the exit after saying his piece to Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he had misunderstood. She asked Sheng Liang to stay because this was his place to begin with and she wasn''t even qualified to let him leave.


    However, she did not intend to explain it to anyone. In any case, neither of them would be chosen.


    "Don''t get so close to him in the future." Sheng Liang looked down at her, his eyebrows slightly knitted.


    Qiao Xuan shifted her gaze to the side, not looking at him, but a trace of coldness seeped out from her lips: "If this is the order of the chairman, I will definitely follow. If it''s not, I''m sorry, but I don''t need the Young Master Liang to worry about my personal matters."


    Sheng Liang was instantly stunned. Qiao Xuan had never said such a thing to him before, if she wasn''t extremely disappointed, she definitely wouldn''t be.


    "Qiao Xuan." Sheng Liang tried to support her shoulders, but he was blocked by Qiao Xuan. His eyes grew dim unconsciously, "I know you still hate me.


    Before he finished speaking, Qiao Xuan suddenly covered his ears and shook his head: "Don''t say it, please don''t bring this up again."


    Seeing her painful expression, Sheng Liang couldn''t help but hug her: "Okay, I won''t say it, I''m sorry, it''s all my fault, I''m sorry."


    Sheng Liang repeated these three words not only because he mentioned that child, who had made her feel so uncomfortable, but also because at that time, he shouldn''t have used her and pushed her to the heart of the struggle.


    Although he knew it was too late to apologize, he still wanted to tell her that he really knew he was wrong and that he would never do anything like that again.


    Qiao Xuan sensed his movements and immediately pushed him away, then walked to the side and quickly wiped away his tears: "If there''s nothing else, you can go now."


    If she stayed with him, she was really afraid that she wouldn''t be able to control herself. She was afraid that the next time she would not push him away but hold him.


    Sheng Liang originally only wanted to take a look at her, but seeing that she wasn''t affected by the netizens'' public opinion, he relaxed. "Alright, I''ll go out.


    Hearing his almost pleading tone, Qiao Xuan nodded. "I understand."


    Sheng Liang looked at her for a while longer, then slowly walked toward the door. When he was about to open the door, he turned his head and said: "Wait until you''re in a better mood, I want to bring you to a place."


    He understood the knot in Qiao Xuan''s heart, so maybe he could only go there to release her.


    Hearing the sound of his door closing, Qiao Xuan felt as if all her strength had been sucked out of her body. She sat on the chair and was unable to recover from her shock for a long time.


    She had even thought that she could really face him calmly, but it was impossible for her to do so. Especially when he had acted so cautiously just now, she couldn''t help but feel her heart ache.


    He didn''t need to be like this. She knew that the baby was an accident and that if he knew she was pregnant, he wouldn''t let her go, but she just couldn''t get over it.


    And it wasn''t fair to him that she should put all the blame on him in order to make herself feel better.


    Qiao Xuan thought about it for a long time, but still sent him a message, telling him to no longer blame himself for this matter.


    After putting down the phone, Qiao Xuan looked at the time. It was about time for her to get off work, and thinking of what Sheng Liang had just reminded her to do, she opened the door and went out.


    Sheng Liang had already said so, even if she didn''t say anything, Xu Yi would do it: "Alright, Director Qiao."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the elevator but he did not see Sheng Liang. He should have already returned home.


    She turned around and was about to return to her office when her forehead hit the door. Although it didn''t hurt, her head suddenly went blank and her heart sank.


    "Director Qiao, are you alright?" Xu Yi immediately went over to see her.


    Qiao Xuan shook his hands, and then removed the hand on his forehead, but he still did not withdraw his heart.


    Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly heard a scream from below. She had a premonition and immediately ran towards the direction of the scream.


    Xu Yi followed her and ran over. When they were walking downstairs, he saw Luo Jie, "Why are you here?"


    Actually, when he asked, he had already guessed what was going on, but he did not dare to say it out loud.


    Luo Jie didn''t bother to answer him. Seeing that Qiao Xuan had already walked down the stairs, he also followed.


    There were many people surrounding the stairs at the second floor as they whispered to each other. A few female employees hid behind them with pale faces, but when they saw Qiao Xuan come down, they did not know what to say. They merely pointed at the ground.


    Qiao Xuan pushed the crowd aside and saw the pool of blood on the ground. Her mind suddenly blanked.


    Luo Jie''s expression became anxious too, he turned to Xu Yi and asked: "Where''s Young Master Liang?"


    Xu Yi looked at the large amount of blood stains on the ground and felt his scalp go numb. His voice also unconsciously trembled a little, "It can''t be ¡­"


    He did not continue, but Qiao Xuan knew what he wanted to say.


    Qiao Xuan bent down, and picked up a worn-out phone from the ground, and pressed on the button beside it, and the screen still showed the message she had just sent to Sheng Liang.

 C174

    "It''s Senior."


    Just as Xu Yi finished dispersing the people around him, he heard Luo Jie gritting his teeth and asked: "What exactly happened?"


    Luo Jie looked at Qiao Xuan who was still squatting on the ground, trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart: "Looks like the ones who spread the rumors online, are Senior''s people. Their goal is to lure the Young Master Liang here, and even intentionally arranged to meet the Young Master Liang at night.


    Qiao Xuan slowly stood up and put the phone back in his pocket. Then, he said to Luo Jie: "Don''t make wild guesses, Sheng Liang will be fine. Xu Yi, find someone to clean this place up, I''ll be going home first."


    Luo Jie frowned, looked at her back and said: "Miss Qiao, even if you hate Young Master Liang, now isn''t the time to be angry right?


    Qiao Xuan turned around and looked at him expressionlessly: "If you didn''t see it with your own eyes, then don''t spout nonsense. How do you know that the blood on the ground is definitely human blood?


    Ignoring Luo Jie''s reaction, Qiao Xuan had already walked into the elevator room. After the door closed, her body collapsed as well. She leaned against the wall and took out her phone to look at the words on it.


    From the moment she saw the blood, she knew that something must have happened to Sheng Liang. He was such a cautious person, if not for the fact that he was only interested in reading the message she sent, he would have been easily detected by someone who was near him.


    The reason she said that to Luo Jie was because she heard him say that this matter was related to Senior.


    Senior had bought Golden Age, but what they got was just an empty shell, they might even have some debts. This plan was designed by Sheng Liang, so it was understandable that he hated Sheng Liang.


    However, Senior did not let them kill Sheng Liang immediately, but rather took him away. His goal was already very obvious, so right now, she was the only one who could save Sheng Liang.


    When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Qiao Xuan sat on the car and called Senior. Without saying a word of introduction, he asked directly, "Where is Sheng Liang?"


    Senior seemed to have been waiting for her call since long ago. The bell just rang for him, and when he heard her voice, he was not surprised at all, "The Champion Stadium, you came to find me, I''ll tell you."


    Qiao Xuan did not hesitate either. From the moment she decided to do this, she knew that this would be the result.


    Qiao Xuan quickly drove to the hotel that Senior had mentioned. As soon as she entered the lobby, she was escorted by two German men in black suits.


    When they reached the door of a room, they knocked and spoke some German before pushing open the door to let Qiao Xuan in.


    She was probably just like Qiao Xuan. When she heard the door close behind her, she only took a deep breath.


    Senior sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and a cup in one hand and his other hand spread out on the back of the sofa. His dark blue eyes were like lake water as he smiled at Qiao Xuan and said, "Qiao, you came really fast.


    Previously, when she was tricked by Liu Fan into going to Milan, she had thought of something related to Senior. At that time, the blue color in his eyes was still crystal clear, simple and happy.


    Qiao Xuan had thought that it was only because she was young and arrogant, and she was only interested in studying at the time, so she couldn''t care less about anything else, and so she didn''t care at all. She definitely wouldn''t have thought that in a few years, this Germanic man would still be thinking about her.


    Qiao Xuan slowly walked over and sat down beside Senior. Seeing him pass the wine cup over, without waiting for him to say anything, Qiao Xuan already took it and drank it, then asked: "Where is Sheng Liang?"


    A trace of ruthlessness flashed past Senior''s eyes, but when he looked at Qiao Xuan, he seemed to be slightly injured: "You care about him that much, didn''t he also deceive you very much?"


    Yes, he had cheated her very badly. From the moment they had admitted their relationship in Sheng Family, he had schemed against her every step, but she could not say anything. This was because she had tacitly acknowledged his actions from the very beginning.


    Perhaps the only thing that she hadn''t thought of was that child. While she was dreaming of a beautiful future, this little life of hers suddenly stopped, and it was because of Sheng Liang''s so-called plan that she had to bear so much pain.


    But until now, Qiao Xuan still didn''t feel any hatred for Sheng Liang. She had once seen him by his side, living such a cautious, thin layer of ice everyday, and even though he was clearly her own relative, she had to be wary of him at all times. On that kind of day, if she was in his place, she would probably become the same as him.


    Do not trust anyone, and do not want to share with anyone the heart, happiness or pain, can only one person taste.


    So at first, she only felt heartache and sympathy for Sheng Liang. Then, after interacting with him for a long time, she unknowingly fell in love with him.


    And even though she knew he had been lying to her, she had never regretted it.


    "How can you be stingy when you truly love a person? You are afraid of being harmed, so you are always calculating the gains and losses. Then, it wouldn''t be love." Qiao Xuan looked at Senior and gave a shallow smile, "To me, perhaps you are purely infatuated with me, and do not even have any love for me. So, why take such a big risk and do such useless things?"


    Senior seemed to understand something, but he also seemed to not understand something. He poured himself another cup of wine, drank a mouthful, and then passed it to Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what Senior''s people used to injure Sheng Liang, but he must have been seriously injured since he lost so much blood. Even if they didn''t do anything, he would have died from excessive loss of blood.


    "As long as you let him go, I''ll do whatever you want." When Qiao Xuan said this, even her teeth were trembling, but she knew that she no longer had the time to waste on him.


    Senior pondered for a moment, then nodded his head slightly: "Qiao Qiao, even if it is just infatuation, I am willing to do anything for you, but this is in China, I am truly afraid that Sheng Liang will take revenge on me.


    Qiao Xuan clenched her teeth, but could only agree, and continued: "But you must at least let me see that he is safe and sound."


    Senior laughed, took out his phone and pressed a few times, then gave it to Qiao Xuan: "He''s still alive and well."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled as he hurriedly received the phone. Looking at the image on it, he saw that it was Sheng Liang. He was tied to a chair and even his eyes and mouth were sealed.


    His wound was at his waist, and although it had been treated simply, the white gauze was still stained with blood, and he didn''t seem to be conscious.

 C175

    "How would I know he was still alive?" Qiao Xuan looked at the Sheng Liang in the picture, her heart aching and close to crying, her eyes red, her voice choked.


    Senior took the phone from her hand: "Then that''s easy to do. I''ll get someone to hit him and see if he makes a sound."


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan was frightened, and immediately said: "Don''t! I believe it, I believe it. "


    Qiao Xuan forced herself to calm down. She had seen it earlier, the image should be real, although Sheng Liang seemed to be unconscious, but she could see the tape covering his mouth moving, meaning that he was breathing.


    However, his situation was truly terrible, and he had to be rescued immediately.


    "You need to keep your words," Qiao Xuan swallowed with difficulty, as if he was making his final decision, "You and I ¡­ After you go to bed, you have to promise to let him go. "


    Senior reached out to grab the back of Qiao Xuan''s neck, and pulled her head forcefully towards his chest. He kissed her earlobe and said softly: "That will depend on you, whether you can satisfy me or not."


    He laughed wickedly, and suddenly pushed Qiao Xuan down, pressing him down.


    Qiao Xuan strongly scratched at the leather sofa. Her nails were about to break, which was why she didn''t retaliate instinctively. Since she had already decided to do so, she wouldn''t anger Senior anymore.


    "Do you need to force yourself so, to be able to do it if it''s Sheng Liang?" Senior took off Qiao Xuan''s jacket, and looking at her tensed body, his face showed displeasure, and he pinched her waist forcefully.


    Qiao Xuan cried out in pain without any defense, and his body couldn''t help but tremble a little.


    Senior seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, just as he was about to pry open her teeth and rush straight in, his tongue was still bit off by Qiao Xuan.


    He used his finger to wipe the blood on the corner of his lips. When he looked at Qiao Xuan again, his dark blue eyes did not even have a little bit of warmth.


    The strength in his hands was so strong that Qiao Xuan was practically stunned by his attack and did not move even an inch for a long time.


    She wasn''t regretting coming here. Her body could be given to him, but she wanted to keep her kiss. She felt that at least she still had a place of purity.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan not reacting at all, Senior pinched Qiao Xuan''s thigh like a madman, hearing her miserable cries, seeing her whole body trembling like she was sieve chaff, her face also as white as paper, even her lips were almost transparent. He laughed sinisterly, his legs pressing on his body, quickly took off his shirt, and quickly unbuckled his belt.


    The sweet and fishy smell still pervaded from Qiao Xuan''s lips. Looking at Senior''s actions, she couldn''t tell if it was despair or something else in her heart.


    But Senior''s movements suddenly stopped, the sinister smile on his face slowly stiffened, and he slowly raised his hands. "How did you escape?"


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan''s heart stirred, she immediately looked behind him, only to see that the person who was standing there with a gun pointed at the back of his head, was actually Sheng Liang!


    "Do you think your group of trash can lock me down?" Sheng Liang was wearing a black overcoat, which covered his entire body in a pure black color.


    She sat up on the sofa, and with a glance, she saw that on the carpet by Sheng Liang''s feet, there was a drop of red liquid dripping down, like a plum flower blooming.


    She quickly stood up and stood beside him, holding his arm. She was afraid that Senior would discover something, so she didn''t dare to say anything.


    Sheng Liang looked at her and said to Senior: "Just stay there and don''t move. Otherwise, I really will open fire."


    As he spoke, he and Qiao Xuan retreated until they reached the door. He let Qiao Xuan go out first, then closed the door after.


    "Sheng Liang, how are you?" Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand, wanting to pull off the outer coat on his body, but he was grabbed by Sheng Liang when he tried to look at his wounds.


    Sheng Liang threw the gun in the trash can beside them and pulled her towards the elevator. Halfway there, he saw the elevator door open and a few security guards coming out. He immediately pulled Qiao Xuan and hid at the side.


    Qiao Xuan understood what was going on. The people at the hotel must have found some bloodstains, which was why they let the security guards come in. All the exits below were definitely sealed as well.


    But that was not the worst part of it. What was worse, Senior would not let them go so easily, his people should come up to them very soon. Sheng Liang was injured, and from the looks of it, he would not be able to hold on much longer.


    Were they really at the end of their rope?


    As expected, very quickly, people wearing black suits were everywhere, and the place they were in was not very hidden. Seeing them approach constantly, Qiao Xuan''s heart rose to his throat, and he unconsciously grabbed onto Sheng Liang''s sleeve.


    Sheng Liang saw that there was a trash car at the side with a pile of changed pillowcases on it. He randomly grabbed one and pressed it onto his wound without thinking too much.


    A sharp pain came to Sheng Liang''s back, causing him to almost gasp for breath. As he panted heavily, his head was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and his body was about to go limp.


    "Sheng Liang!" Seeing that he was in so much pain, Qiao Xuan''s tears immediately started to flow, but she was unable to help him at all, she could only tightly hold onto his hand.


    Sheng Liang was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness, but he didn''t have time to wait for the pain to pass. Grabbing Qiao Xuan''s hand, he quickly turned the corner, and just happened to be cleaning one room and entering another room. He pulled Qiao Xuan over and used the key he got from the waiter to open the door.


    Now that he was temporarily safe, the first thing Qiao Xuan wanted to do was to check Sheng Liang''s injuries, but the moment she removed the white pillowcase from''s wounds, she had already been hugged by him.


    Time seemed to stop, and the only sounds in the air were their breathing and heartbeats.


    "I''m sorry." Qiao Xuan had only said these three words, and his tears fell like rain.


    If she had not chased him away at that time, if she had not sent that message, Sheng Liang might not have ended up like this.


    "Will you forgive me?" Sheng Liang used his free hand to caress her cheeks and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.


    At a time like this, he actually still cared about all this. Qiao Xuan felt a burst of bitterness in his heart: "Is this very important?"


    "Of course it''s important. If I don''t get your forgiveness, everything I do will be meaningless." The knot between Sheng Liang''s brows did not dissipate at all, he lowered his head to look Qiao Xuan in the eyes and said, "I finally know what kind of belief I have that can support me to walk down the path of the golden age, is yours."

 C176

    Qiao Xuan stared at him blankly, unable to say a single word.


    She knew that Sheng Liang had always been living her own life, step by step. If one day he finally got what she wanted, her heart would be even emptier.


    However, did he really recognize her? Was he sure it wasn''t because he needed a substitute that he chose her?


    Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Sheng Liang used one hand to hold her face, and slowly kissed the trace of red on the side of her lips. "I will use my remaining life to prove my feelings for you, as long as you give me a chance, give me a chance to make up for the mistakes I made, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan''s lips trembled slightly, and her fingers anxiously grabbed onto the corner of her clothes. Perhaps it was because she had believed and been disappointed too many times, and therefore, her heart had almost become numb. She did not dare easily agree, because she knew that she would not be able to endure another round of disappointment.


    She was stunned for a long while, until she saw Sheng Liang''s body sliding down the wall.


    Sheng Liang sat on the ground and leaned his back against the wall. A corner of his coat was opened when it slid down, and Qiao Xuan saw that his shirt was completely drenched in blood.


    It was impossible to change the gauze here. Qiao Xuan could only find a sheet inside and tear it into strips, then use it as bandages to wrap Sheng Liang up.


    "Tighten up." Sheng Liang saw that she was entangled and crying at the same time. He extended his hands out to help her wipe them away, but he didn''t have much strength left in his arms, so he was afraid that she would worry so he gave up.


    "You said it before, as long as you''re alive, you''ll definitely protect me," Qiao Xuan no longer dared to look at his expression. Just hearing his voice made her heart ache to death, "You won''t go back on your words, right?"


    "Nope." Sheng Liang felt that his body was already numb, although Qiao Xuan had used a lot of strength, he could not feel any pain, he only felt that his body had become colder and colder, "I haven''t even waited for you to forgive me."


    Qiao Xuan held back her tears and tied the knot one last time, raising her head to look at his pale face, she was extremely afraid, "If you die, you will never think of getting my forgiveness."


    "Yes." He looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Is your phone still there? Call Luo Jie, he should be nearby, before I came, I''ve already told the police, the police should be here soon, you''ll be fine."


    What he said was that she would be fine, but what about him? Was he planning to give up?


    Sheng Liang, I don''t hate you anymore, I have forgiven you. Didn''t you say that you want to start over with me, when we leave this place, we will be together again. You owe me a child, I want you to return it to me! She grabbed Sheng Liang''s hand. His hand was so cold, she kept rubbing it for him, she was really afraid that she wouldn''t be able to feel the temperature in the next second.


    A smile surfaced on Sheng Liang''s lips, but that smile was so faint that it seemed as if it could disappear at any moment: "That child from before, I buried her under our Begonia tree. The doctor said that it was a girl, so I gave her a name, Midsummer."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled. She didn''t know that Sheng Liang had actually done these things, that the place he said he would take her to, was to see their child?


    She had always thought that he wouldn''t like the child, so from beginning to end, she hadn''t told him about his pregnancy.


    She had done wrong, she should have told him, he was the father of the child, he had a right to know.


    Qiao Xuan''s tears rolled down, she hugged Sheng Liang, and kept apologizing.


    A hubbub of noise came from outside the door, as if a lot of people had gathered outside. They couldn''t wait to get their keys to open the door, so they all tried their best to break it open.


    Qiao Xuan looked down at Sheng Liang, only to see that he had fainted.


    The more it got to this point, the calmer Qiao Xuan became. All he could think of was to take Sheng Liang out of his seat belt.


    Sheng Liang understood Luo Jie, and knew that he would definitely find his way here. Qiao Xuan quickly sent the room number to Luo Jie, then grabbed Sheng Liang''s arm and pulled him up, then walked towards the side of the room.


    All of Sheng Liang''s weight was on Qiao Xuan''s body, and because Qiao Xuan cared about his injuries, he did not dare to move him too much, so every step they took was exceptionally difficult.


    Qiao Xuan was also startled for a moment, and then she heard her phone ringing. She thought that Luo Jie had rushed over, so she immediately pulled out her phone to take a look, only to see that the number displayed on the screen was Senior''s.


    He was determining her position.


    Qiao Xuan placed Sheng Liang on the ground and let him lean against the bed. After confirming that he would not fall down, she quickly went outside and saw a few snacks that were prepared by the hotel for guests on the wine shelves. She immediately came up with an idea.


    She went over and unwrapped all the snacks. She took out a small paper packet containing the desiccant, then unscrewed the two bottles of mineral water beside her. She placed the small paper bag inside, screwed up the lid, and carefully laid it on the floor in front of the door.


    She didn''t know if that would buy her time, but at least it was better than doing nothing.


    After doing all this, she walked back to Sheng Liang''s side. Seeing that he didn''t seem to be breathing, her heart unconsciously thumped for a moment, her fingers trembling slightly as if she wanted to probe for his breathing. When her fingers reached halfway, she was grabbed by him, "I''m not dead yet."


    Seeing him open his eyes, Qiao Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Sheng Liang."


    Looking at her worried expression, Sheng Liang caressed her hair and said, "I''m fine, I''m just a bit sleepy."


    Qiao Xuan knew that this was probably related to her losing too much blood and that she would cause people to feel sleepy. She shook his hand and said: "Sheng Liang, don''t sleep.


    "Don''t be afraid, everything will be fine." Sheng Liang tried his best to stay alert, "Didn''t you do well just now?"


    Qiao Xuan was afraid that she would fall asleep and not be able to wake up, so he tried his best to speak to her, "You saw it all?"


    "Yes." Sheng Liang turned his eyes away and saw that the phone that she had thrown to the side had already been turned off. The sound had already been turned off, but the screen was still lit up.


    The name on it, was Senior.


    Senior still hadn''t rushed in even now, it definitely wasn''t because he couldn''t open the door, but he was deliberately wasting time. He was waiting for his blood to run out, waiting for Qiao Xuan to compromise due to his excessive fear.


    He had calculated that the hotel would not report this to the police because they were afraid that it would affect them badly. The entrance was also blocked, so there was no way for them to escape. Thus, he was confident.


    But Senior, had always been ruined by his arrogance.


    He thought that since he was injured and tied up, and there were guards outside, he definitely wouldn''t be able to leave. In reality, he was only waiting for an opportunity.


    It was just that, when Senior''s people thought that he did not understand German, and was discussing Qiao Xuan going to find Senior, he finally knew what had happened.

 C177

    Even now, he was still a little afraid. If he didn''t come here, what would happen to Qiao Xuan? She was a strong woman, so she definitely wouldn''t let him know what happened.


    Senior finally lost his patience, the door was kicked open and a group of people rushed in. The first two people stepped on the water bottles that Qiao Xuan placed on the floor and exploded with a loud bang. Although they did not manage to injure him, they were still shocked, and instinctively retreated backwards.


    Seeing that they were all cowering and cowering, Senior scolded them as he walked in alone.


    When Qiao Xuan saw him, he stood up and blocked Sheng Liang''s way almost instinctively. "This is not your country, don''t be too arrogant, the police will be here soon!"


    "Police?" Senior laughed, "They are like headless flies right now, investigating the explosion case, and have no time to care about you guys."


    Sheng Liang''s heart sank. No wonder the police still haven''t arrived, it was actually them deliberately creating panic in other places.


    "You''re not completely brainless." Sheng Liang forced a smile.


    But Senior could tell that this was not a compliment, he pushed Qiao Xuan away and squatted in front of Sheng Liang, saying coldly: "You don''t need to tell me this, and I don''t need someone who''s about to die to evaluate me, I will watch you die slowly, and when you die, everything that is you will be mine."


    "The dignified Senior Family, do you fancy my small property? Or, your identity as the successor has been threatened and you are anxious to expand your territory in China?" Sheng Liang looked at Senior meaningfully. He had just received news that Senior''s purchase of Golden Age was too urgent and had caused their family to suffer losses. Furthermore, his father''s most beloved son was already eighteen years old and had met the requirements to be the successor of their family. His position was already in danger.


    "Shut up!" Sheng Liang''s words were obviously stupid to the point that it hurt. He leaned forward and suddenly pressed his hand on Sheng Liang''s wound with force.


    "Sheng Liang!" Seeing Sheng Liang almost die from the pain, Qiao Xuan''s tone of voice changed.


    Just as she was about to pounce on him, she realised that the tip of the blade was against the artery of Senior''s neck. The moment Senior moved, the tip of the blade would pierce through his skin and blood would immediately spurt out.


    Only now did Qiao Xuan understand that Sheng Liang had purposely provoked Senior.


    Senior gasped for breath, his face was filled with unwillingness, but he knew that Sheng Liang was not a soft-hearted person, so he did not dare act rashly, and even his breathing was exceptionally careful.


    "Tell your men to scram and close the door. No one is allowed to enter." Sheng Liang stared straight at Senior, "By the way, I know German, so don''t play tricks."


    Senior seemed to have understood something, looked at him, and then repeated what Sheng Liang just said to the people who were still blocking the door.


    The door was closed. Without Senior''s order, they would not come in for the time being.


    However, these were not things that Qiao Xuan was worried about. Looking at Sheng Liang''s face, which had become even paler, filled with cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of water, her heart ached uncontrollably but she did not dare to speak carelessly. It was because she knew how difficult it was for Sheng Liang to reach his current state.


    "Tie him up." Sheng Liang''s lips trembled as he said to Qiao Xuan.


    This was not the time to be thinking about other things. When Qiao Xuan heard him, she immediately took the bed sheets she had torn previously and tied Senior''s hands tightly behind her back.


    "In my shirt pocket... "There''s medicine for him ¡­" "Eat it." Sheng Liang had even started to speak incompletely, and the current him was completely relying on his will to persevere.


    Qiao Xuan half knelt beside him and took out a capsule from his pocket. Before Senior could react, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth, covered his mouth with both hands, and forced him to swallow.


    After a short while, Senior suddenly fell to the ground, rolling back and forth in pain.


    "Don''t worry, he won''t die. It will only hurt for a while." Seeing Qiao Xuan''s panicked expression, Sheng Liang comforted him and said, "Block his mouth, so that he will not bite his tongue."


    Qiao Xuan did as she was told. Seeing Senior rolling on the ground while making wuwu sounds, she shrank back in panic, and when she looked at Sheng Liang, she pretended to be very calm. "Are you alright?"


    Actually, there was no need to ask, she knew that he was in trouble. Just now, Senior had pressed down on him so hard, causing his wound to split open and blood to flow out.


    Qiao Xuan crawled up and took two towels from the bathroom and pressed them on his wounds. The white towel was immediately soaked.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was filled with pain, his chest was also blocked by something, and his breathing was painful, "Sheng Liang, hold on a little longer, Luo Jie will be here soon, we can leave very soon."


    Qiao Xuan''s expression was not much better than Sheng Liang''s, her hair was completely drenched in sweat, and stuck to her face, she looked very miserable.


    Sheng Liang blamed himself, he should not have allowed Qiao Xuan to experience such cruel things. She should have been living under the sunlight, "Sorry ¡­"


    Qiao Xuan was afraid that she would hear these words from his mouth. In her eyes, Sheng Liang was omnipotent, but when he said these words, she felt that he was giving up.


    Qiao Xuan grabbed his hand and put it on his face, shaking his head in panic: "Don''t apologize to me, Sheng Liang, I just want you to say that you love me, that you can do anything for me, that as long as you are here, I don''t need to be afraid of anything!"


    He wanted to tell her more, but he really didn''t have the strength to, he heard the sounds of fighting outside, so it should be Luo Jie who rushed over, and with them there, Qiao Xuan would be safe.


    In the instant that the door opened, Sheng Liang fainted as well, falling onto Qiao Xuan''s body. The last thing on his mind, was Qiao Xuan shouting out his name at the top of his lungs.


    Fortunately, he didn''t break his promise and didn''t let her get hurt again.


    When the nurses from the ambulance carried Sheng Liang to the carriage, the police finally arrived. The one leading them was still Xiao Feng.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t have time to deal with him right now, so all of her attention was focused on Sheng Liang.


    Xu Yi took off his jacket and lightly said, "Young Master Liang will be fine."


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan also firmly believed that. There were several times where he managed to escape death, and this time, he would definitely be able to turn the tide.

 C178

    Luo Jie stayed behind to take care of the follow-up matters, while Qiao Xuan and Xu Yi followed Sheng Liang to the hospital.


    At that time, it was already past 10 at night, but the hospital was still as bright as day. The incandescent light reflected on Qiao Xuan''s pale face miserably, making it seem even more pale.


    She sat on a bench in the corridor, staring unblinkingly at the door of the operating room.


    There was blood everywhere on her face, on her hands, on her clothes. In addition, her face was so pale that anyone who saw her would run away in fright, but she didn''t seem to notice at all.


    A person walked over from the end of the corridor, his gaze was always on Qiao Xuan, upon seeing him, Xu Yi immediately wanted to tell him, but seeing Sheng Qian wave his hand, he did not say a word.


    Sheng Qian walked over and slowly sat down beside Qiao Xuan. After a long while, he smiled bitterly: "As expected, he''s the most important thing to you. No matter what I do, it''s useless."


    He seemed to be saying this to Qiao Xuan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.


    Qiao Xuan slowly turned her head to look at him, but there was not a hint of emotion in her eyes: "What did you say?"


    Sheng Qian took her hand and slowly took off the watch on her wrist. "Even when you were at your most helpless, you never thought of asking me for help.


    Even if it was just a little bit of hope, he wouldn''t give up. Unfortunately, there was no place for him in Qiao Xuan''s heart.


    "I''m sorry." Other than these three words, Qiao Xuan did not know what else he could say to him. At this point, anything he said was unnecessary.


    Sheng Qian stood up, both his hands in his pockets, and smiled: "Don''t worry, my third brother is a cat, he has nine lives, he won''t die."


    "Sheng Qian..." Did he feel relieved after saying this?


    However, before she could even ask, Sheng Qian had already turned around and left. He only waved his hand with his back facing her: "I can''t stand to watch the scene of life and death the most, so I might as well wait for him to wake up before coming back."


    Qiao Xuan watched his back as he disappeared, then lowered her head to look at her empty wrist. She remembered what happened on New Year''s Day, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you."


    As far as the eye could see, it was all pure white snow, and it was close to the Spring Festival. Even this kind of weather could not stop people''s enthusiasm for the new year, as all the streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and decorations, preparing for the new year.


    Qiao Xuan helped his mother carry the food over to the table. When he placed the last soup bowl on the table, Sheng Liang immediately stood up and reached out to receive it.


    However, Qiao Xuan dodged them quickly: "Don''t move, your injuries aren''t completely healed. Let Xiao Nan do it."


    Qiao Nan reached out his hands in dissatisfaction and took it, then carefully placed it on the table: "This kind of hard work, of course it would be me.


    Qiao Xuan glowered at him: "What kind of idiom is'' heavily colored and lightly kissed ''? The Chinese language is so poor, I really don''t know how you graduated. Oh, right, someone hasn''t even graduated yet."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan making fun of him, Qiao Nan complained to Sheng Liang with a sad face, "Brother-in-law, she bullied me, you have to discipline her properly."


    However, Sheng Liang only smiled and turned to look at Qiao Xuan, "I can''t bear to part with it."


    Qiao Xuan''s face immediately flushed red, and she immediately ran into the kitchen to help.


    As if he had suffered from hundreds of millions of injuries, Qiao Nan coughed heavily a few times before clasping his fists at Sheng Liang: "Thank you."


    Qiao¡¯s father said to Sheng Liang from the side: "Don''t be offended, the two of them have been like this since they were young."


    "No, I envy them." Emotions flashed past Sheng Liang''s eyes, but then he smiled.


    Qiao Xuan had told them all about Sheng Liang''s matter before, so when they confirmed that he genuinely liked Qiao Xuan, the Qiao family''s parents no longer opposed it. Furthermore, they treated him very well, trying their best to let him experience the warmth of his family.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan and the others had finished with their work, the Qiao¡¯s father made them all sit down, raised his glass and said, "It''s rare for us to all reunite.


    When Sheng Liang saw that Qiao Xuan had already given him a warm drink, he took a sip. While listening to the others speak, he also secretly held Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Qiao Xuan was holding onto his hand, but was afraid that his family would see, so she lowered her head in embarrassment and pretended to drink her drink.


    Ever since he woke up in the hospital, he refused to let her leave his side and always wanted her in his line of sight. Even if she went to a meeting at the company, he would participate as the chairman.


    He would hug her on occasion for the reason that she was in pain, and several times she was almost seen by people at the company.


    However, Qiao Xuan just liked this kind of feeling. The two of them no longer needed to care about other things, and only wanted to be stuck together like this.


    Qiao¡¯s father and Qiao Nan had drank too much, and continued to talk nonsense. Qiao¡¯s mother scolded them to go to sleep, but the two of them laid on the table, unable to stand up.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was about to go and help them, Qiao¡¯s mother immediately said: "Don''t worry about it, your injuries have not healed yet, it''s better to be careful. It''s already so late, you should not go back.


    "Thank you Auntie." Sheng Liang dodged to the side, watching as Qiao Xuan went to help, he slowly walked towards the stage.


    When they came out, they could not see Sheng Liang. Seeing the glass door of the balcony open, she walked over, and saw Sheng Liang standing there, looking at something. She walked behind him and hugged him lightly: "What are you doing here?"


    "Waiting for you." Sheng Liang turned around, and smoothed her hair, "Your long hair is still beautiful."


    Qiao Xuan shifted his gaze away as he said unhappily, "Will I remind you of her if I do this?"


    Sheng Liang laughed, his long fingers hooked onto her chin: "Jealous?"


    Qiao Xuan turned his back but did not speak.


    "I told you before, it doesn''t matter what feelings I had for Qi Luo in the past, they are all in the past now. Sheng Liang grabbed her hand and kissed her fingertip.


    Qiao Xuan did not move, and allowed him to hug her from behind, and only said: "So doctors can not only perform surgery, but they can also make people talk sweetly."


    "In the past, I didn''t know either. So I actually had this potential. However, it wasn''t developed by a doctor, it was you."


    He didn''t understand why he would want to tease her every time he saw Qiao Xuan. Even if he had to reject this feeling again and again, even if he did not hesitate to say words that hurt her, he couldn''t deceive his own heart. In fact, he had liked her since a long time ago.


    Feeling Sheng Liang''s kiss brushing against her, Qiao Xuan could not help but feel his entire body go numb. She avoided his lips and said softly, "Stop messing around, my mother will see it."


    "They''re all asleep." Sheng Liang didn''t have the slightest intention to let go of her as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

 C179

    Knowing that he needed to take his next step, Qiao Xuan hurriedly held down his hands. "Don''t disturb me, this place really isn''t suitable."


    Sheng Liang seemed to be very obedient as he let her go. "Then help me clean up my room, I''m a little tired."


    After the injury, he lost too much blood and was unconscious for several days before waking up. Until now, his body had not fully recovered.


    So Qiao Xuan always took care of him very carefully, and didn''t dare let him overwork himself. Hearing his words, she became a little nervous and immediately agreed, pulling him towards the guest room.


    The room was not very big, but it was very clean. Sheng Liang leaned to the side and looked at Qiao Xuan laying out the bed sheets, taking out the blanket, showing her beautiful figure, especially when she bent over.


    "You can sleep now." Qiao Xuan turned and said.


    Sheng Liang walked over, sat on the side of the bed, extended his hand, and grabbed Qiao Xuan: "Should I pay my debt?"


    He spoke until the end of the sentence, but Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant.


    "Didn''t you say before that I owe you a child? Should I return it now?" As Sheng Liang spoke, the hand around her waist had already slipped into her clothes.


    Qiao Xuan finally understood, and his face immediately flushed red: "At that time ¡­ I was just, casually speaking. "


    At the time, she thought he was dying, so she spoke so incoherently that she couldn''t even remember what she said.


    "I was just casually saying that ¡­" Sheng Liang immediately had an injured expression on his face, "So you said you will forgive me, and said that you love me was just a casual word?"


    Seeing him like that, Qiao Xuan frowned. "No ¡­"


    "Is that a random remark?" Sheng Liang stopped with his big hands on Qiao Xuan''s spine and looked up at her.


    Qiao Xuan''s face turned as red as a ripe cherry. She bit her lips, not knowing how to reply.


    Seeing her so embarrassed, her fair face seemed to be smeared with rouge, her two cherry lips revealed a captivating redness, and her pair of watery eyes looked around.


    She probably didn''t realize how seductive she looked.


    He wanted to eat her!


    While Sheng Liang was thinking this, his body had already moved. Pushing with a bit of strength, he brought her to the bed, and then covered her with it.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even have time to react to what had happened. He was slightly dizzy from knocking his head against the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yue Yang looking at her from top to bottom, his eyes blazing with fire.


    "You ¡­ What are you doing? " Qiao Xuan knew how stupid his question was. What else could he do?


    Although this was not the first time they had met each other, the situation was completely different.


    If she had known earlier, she would have drank some wine and not been so flustered.


    Sheng Liang bent over and lightly kissed her lips. With a bewitching tone, he said, "Don''t be afraid, I will make you very comfortable."


    She is not... Worried about that.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was flushed red, her hand weakly supporting his chest: "Your injuries have not healed yet."


    "It''s alright, it won''t affect my performance." Sheng Liang kissed her lips, stopping her from speaking any further.


    Unlike in the past, Sheng Liang''s kiss was filled with an intense desire for possession, wantonly plundering things out of Qiao Xuan''s mouth, as if proclaiming sovereignty.


    From that day to now, Sheng Liang had never mentioned Senior in front of him. He knew that what happened that day was the most terrifying experience Qiao Xuan had ever experienced.


    He wanted to use his method to erase those experiences and turn them into beautiful memories.


    Qiao Xuan''s brain went dizzy from his kiss, and her body slowly went limp. The hand supporting his chest slowly climbed up his neck, clumsily responding to his kiss.


    This was what she had hoped for. She was glad that when they turned around, the other party was still there.


    "Sheng Liang, I love you." With extreme patience, she used her sweet words to cover up the sound that was about to spill out of her mouth.


    "I know. Me too." He felt the tremor in her body and kissed her lips over and over.


    As he watched her bloom like a beautiful flower beneath him, Sheng Liang felt for the first time that the heavens had not been unkind to him. They had sent the best over to his side without him knowing.


    When he woke up in the morning, Sheng Liang saw that she was still in his embrace.


    He hugged her tighter and kissed her forehead, rubbing his fingers against her earlobes.


    Qiao Xuan dodged a few times but was still woken up by him. He opened his eyes and said unhappily: "What are you doing?


    Did he not remember what time he had toiled until last night, when he began to harass her again so early in the morning?


    Sheng Liang looked at her lovingly, pecking her on the lips and said: "I don''t mind, but if you aren''t afraid of being discovered by your family, you can continue sleeping."


    Qiao Xuan reacted and immediately sat up on the bed: "Why didn''t you say so earlier."


    This was bad, last night he must have drunk the Bewitching Soup, which was why he was so out of control. To think that he would eat it all up right under his parents'' noses!


    Seeing that she had fished out clothes in a fluster, yet was unable to buckle up her underwear no matter what, Sheng Liang reached out to help her tie it up, but he did not forget to take advantage of this opportunity: "What do we do, I regret waking you up, let''s continue with what happened last night."


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, she immediately pushed his hand away and ran out.


    Looking at her fleeing figure, Sheng Liang laughed out from the bottom of his heart.


    With regards to winter, it was really still too early. Sheng Liang put on his clothes and went out, looking at the people busy in the kitchen, he walked over and hugged her, "Let me help you."


    Qiao Xuan had not yet recovered from her shock, so she did not notice his approach at all. She was suddenly hugged by him, and almost threw the spoon in her hand: "No need!"


    What could he help her with? It would be good enough if he didn''t cause her trouble.


    Sheng Liang still didn''t have the intention to leave. Both of his hands were wrapped around her slender waist, and his lips were wrapped around her neck.


    "Sheng Liang, don''t be like this ¡­" Qiao Xuan did not dare move, she was afraid that her family would hear her, so she hid while begging for mercy. How come she did not realise that he was like this before?


    "No?" As soon as he touched her, he felt like he couldn''t stop. He wanted to force her to the point where she had no way out.


    Qiao Xuan knew that she couldn''t let him lead her like this anymore. She suddenly turned around and pushed the spoon into his hands: "Help me make the porridge."


    "Then can I get a reward?" Sheng Liang stared at her blushing face, showing the intent of not giving her any rewards and continuing to cause trouble.


    Qiao Xuan''s clenched and released his grip, as if he had struggled for a very long time. Finally, he slowly stood on his tiptoes and kissed the corner of his lips.


    Sheng Liang wiped the place where she had just kissed with her finger, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.


    Seeing that she was still considered well-behaved, he decided to let her go today. Next time, he wouldn''t let her pass so easily.

 C180

    Initially, Qiao Xuan only wanted to divert Sheng Liang''s attention a little, he did not really think that she would be able to help him. She saw him skillfully apply the jam onto a piece of bread, put it together, cut off the edge, then cut it into small pieces, and quickly mix the egg yolk and milk white sugar together. He wrapped them up on the sliced bread, heated up the butter, and placed the bread inside to fry.


    "See what''s in the fridge." Sheng Liang said to Qiao Xuan as he placed his plate on top of the table.


    "Oh." Qiao Xuan came back to reality and opened the fridge. From inside, he took out cherries and grapes.


    After Sheng Liang washed the cherries and grapes, he put them on the plate very seriously. Qiao Xuan leaned on the side and looked at him, "I realized that I didn''t seem to understand you at all before."


    Sheng Liang turned his head and fed her a grape. He smiled lightly: "Just making breakfast will scare you. I will teach you a lot of things you don''t know."


    For example, all sorts of postures.


    Qiao Xuan still did not know that he had thought of those things, but he felt a bit of heartache instead. "In the past when we were overseas, you always cooked alone, right?"


    Sheng Liang nodded, looking at her dejected expression, his fingers scratched her nose: "If you are willing, I will give it to you everyday."


    Qiao Xuan was just about to be moved, when he heard a voice: "Eh? Early in the morning, is this a marriage proposal? "


    Qiao Xuan''s face immediately flushed red, he turned and picked up the cup of coffee: What does it have to do with you!


    "Of course it''s related. It''s related to the rest of my life." Qiao Nan walked over. Originally, he wanted to talk big, but when he saw Sheng Liang fried toast, he immediately changed the topic, "Brother-in-law, you made this. Teach me quickly.


    But Sheng Liang didn''t buy it at all, and said indifferently: "I''m just your sister''s private little chef, if you want to learn, I''ll find a master to teach you."


    Seeing that he was serious, Qiao Xuan felt that his face was still jumping up and down. Pushing Qiao Nan away, he said, "Go wash your hands and face, prepare to eat breakfast."


    It wasn''t easy to get Qiao Nan out of the cave, so Qiao Xuan turned around and said to Sheng Liang: "Don''t talk nonsense to him in the future. This guy''s tongue is really long."


    "Alright." Sheng Liang looked straight at Qiao Xuan, as if he didn''t see enough.


    Qiao Xuan was scorched by his gaze and immediately turned his gaze away.


    They brought the breakfast on to the table, and the Qiao family''s parents sat down as well. When Sheng Liang heard Qiao Nan praising his culinary skills, his forehead unconsciously jumped.


    Now, he knew that Qiao Xuan was right, Qiao Nan was indeed a woman with a long tongue.


    "Oh yeah, dad, are you still working at the same place? I didn''t even see you when I passed by." Qiao Xuan changed the topic and asked.


    Qiao¡¯s father coughed lightly, his eyes glittering: "Didn''t I already teach you guys since you were young?"


    Qiao Xuan glanced at his mouth as he sneaked a glance at Sheng Liang.


    Qiao¡¯s mother choked: "You still know how to be embarrassing, you are so old and you still want to fight? If you don''t have a good temper, you can just stay at home."


    "Mom, your words are wrong. Back then, my dad was an honorable teacher of the people. If we see injustice on the road, how can we not pull out our swords and help?" After Qiao Nan finished speaking, he looked at the Qiao¡¯s father and laughed, "Really, Dad?"


    In the past few days, Qiao Xuan had truly been too busy and she actually had no idea what was happening.


    Seeing her confused face, Qiao Nan started to use his long-tongued woman''s personality again, "You can''t blame our father for bullying a little girl with four or five men, it''s really outrageous. If it was me, I would have acted too."


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "Dad, you fought against four to five people. Are you hurt?"


    Before Qiao¡¯s father could say anything, he was preempted by Qiao¡¯s mother: "Not really injured, just that I found him annoying and did not let him do anything there."


    "I don''t want to serve them yet." Qiao¡¯s father snorted.


    Qiao Xuan quickly comforted her: "It''s fine if I don''t do it, I''ll just be at home quietly. If there''s nothing else, I''ll just go watch a movie."


    She and Qiao Nan had been opposed to his going to work anyway.


    "Yes, I''m watching a movie." Qiao¡¯s father lowered his head to eat breakfast, then suddenly said, "The last person, Sheng Qian, was it? He booked a room for us to watch Roman Holiday, your mother was already crying watching it, and he even thought of himself as young. What''s wrong, why did he pull me?"


    Qiao¡¯s mother immediately let go of Qiao¡¯s father''s sleeves and smiled to Sheng Liang: "Don''t mind me, when I''m old, I like to nag."


    "It''s okay, home... It should be like this. " Sheng Liang straightened his back as he elegantly cut the bread.


    Qiao¡¯s father realized that he had said something wrong just now and looked at Qiao Xuan apologetically.


    Ever since Qiao Xuan had mentioned Sheng Qian, she had always kept her gaze on him. However, she could not see any expression on his face, so she did not know if he was angry or not.


    After finishing breakfast, the rest of the members of the''s family went to do their own stuff. Qiao Xuan stood beside the azure stone counter, watching Sheng Liang wash the dishes.


    He lowered his head and slowly turned the plate under the tap with his long fingers. Then he placed the plate in the sterilizer.


    Dong Ri''s light hit his body, making him appear increasingly calm.


    From start to finish, he did not utter a single word.


    When he turned off the water faucet and turned around, Qiao Xuan immediately used a towel to wipe his hands. It was clearly warm water, but his fingertips were cold.


    Seeing him frown, Qiao Xuan immediately asked: "What''s wrong with you?"


    "It hurts." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan with his deep eyes.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, she immediately took off his clothes: Let me see, did his wound split open.


    However, her hand was grabbed by Sheng Liang and placed on his chest: "It hurts here."


    Qiao Xuan understood what he meant, but he did not know how to explain. "Sheng Liang ¡­"


    "Uncle just said that it was New Year''s Day, right?" Sheng Liang leaned his body against the azure stone stage and lowered his eyes, "Actually, I went to find you that day, I saw ¡­"


    Sheng Liang did not finish, but Qiao Xuan knew what he was going to say. She grabbed his hand and said carefully: "I told you not to be angry, that day I saw you, that''s why ¡­"


    Sheng Liang frowned, and pulled Qiao Xuan into his embrace, then grabbed her chin and said: "So that''s why you purposely let me see, right?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that she was in the wrong, but at that time, she also didn''t know whether or not Sheng Liang really had feelings for her, nor did she know how much he cared about the child she lost in the beginning.


    However, seeing how he was acting now, she truly regretted it. He must have felt very sad back then.


    "I''ll never do that again." Thinking about it, she was truly foolish. Not only did she make use of Sheng Qian, but she also made him feel uncomfortable.


    "But my heart has already been hurt by you, and it still hurts. How are you going to compensate me?" Sheng Liang looked at her pitifully.

 C181

    "You want to... "How about it?" Qiao Xuan''s heart felt weak, and didn''t even dare to look straight at him.


    He kissed the corner of her mouth.


    After being blackmailed for a long French kiss, the two of them went to the company together.


    Although Sheng Liang''s identity was not officially announced, Yang Sen, as his partner, began to appear within the company. When necessary, he would appear for Sheng Liang to be interviewed by the media.


    They had just reached Qiao Xuan''s office, but Yang Sen had already followed them in. Seeing the impatience in Sheng Liang''s eyes, he immediately said: "I''ll only delay you guys for a few minutes, after that I''ll leave."


    "Speak." When Sheng Liang faced the others, he was still as expressionless as usual.


    However, Yang Sen looked at Qiao Xuan and said: "Qiao Xuan, prepare yourself. There''s a television station visiting this afternoon and both of us are going there."


    Just as Qiao Xuan was about to agree, he frowned: "You two? "What do you mean?"


    "Exactly, literally." Although he had gotten used to the two of them being together these few days, Yang Sen was still unable to link this Sheng Liang who was jealous of him with the Third Young Master of the Sheng Family. Thus, he could not help but purposely make Sheng Liang misunderstand.


    As expected, Sheng Liang''s face became ugly, and he said directly: "You don''t need to go, I''ll go with her."


    Yang Sen and Qiao Xuan''s eyes immediately turned to him. Wouldn''t him going would mean that his identity would be revealed?


    However, Sheng Liang did not care about their gazes, and only said: "Send me the detailed timing and location."


    "Alright." He sent a message to him through his phone, he guessed that Sheng Liang wanted to use this opportunity to reveal his identity. If he kept it a secret, if he were to be found out by reporters in the future, it would definitely be written.


    Qiao Xuan was still a little worried, he walked over and fixed his tie: "Your high profile appearance, is there really no problem, although according to the law, Senior buying Golden Age was his mistake and couldn''t be blamed on you, but from the last time, it means that he has some resentment for you, I''m afraid that if he finds out about this, he will hurt you even more."


    "I was careless last time. I won''t give him another chance now." Sheng Liang grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand, placed it on his waist, and kissed her. He said softly, "Come to my house tonight.


    Qiao Xuan knew what he was planning and turned to leave, "I''m not going."


    Sheng Liang didn''t let go of her hand and gently shook it: "If Qing Qing knew how heartless you are, how sad he would be."


    Although her office was not transparent, it would be too shameful if someone came in and saw them acting this way. Qiao Xuan slowly pried open his hands and said, "I''m Lady Hui right now, I need to go home before 12."


    Actually, Qiao Xuan wasn''t that determined, it was just that she had a little selfishness in her heart. This morning, when Qiao Nan had asked her to marry him, she suddenly had this thought, but Sheng Liang didn''t say anything.


    "Just tell them to stay at a friend''s house. They won''t say anything." Sheng Liang gave her an idea.


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan was a little disappointed, but she still pretended that nothing had happened: "I don''t have any friends."


    Just as Sheng Liang wanted to say something, a secretary came in for Qiao Xuan to sign, and Qiao Xuan took the opportunity to release his hand.


    After that, Qiao Xuan started to get busy, and would occasionally talk about work with Sheng Liang, but whenever he wanted to hug her, she would always avoid him.


    Noon later to eat lunch with Yang Sen, Yang Sen noticed that Qiao Xuan was not in a good mood, and asked him secretly: "What happened to your little princess?"


    Sheng Liang''s gaze was still on Qiao Xuan. He could roughly guess what Qiao Xuan was feeling uncomfortable about, but he still had no way to explain it to her.


    The afternoon interview with the television station was actually the company''s stunt for the upcoming movie. The young and handsome chairman and the beautiful and capable CEO were able to attract the attention of tens of thousands of people just by relying on their lack of foresight.


    Before the shooting began, the staff gave them a desk book with questions they might ask later.


    Qiao Xuan saw that there was a question inside, was whether they had any other connections other than that of their own.


    Her heart throbbed a little. She unconsciously looked at Sheng Liang, wondering how he would respond, whether he would admit their relationship in front of everyone.


    Their seats were not that far away. Sheng Liang came over and patted the back of her hand: "Don''t be nervous, I''m here."


    So he just thought she was nervous.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank a little.


    However, when he went up on stage and looked at the stage under the spotlight as well as the many spectators below, Qiao Xuan was truly a little nervous. She almost tripped when she went up the stairs, but luckily Sheng Liang asked her to hold his arm to prevent her from falling.


    She stood up and shook their hands one by one. After that, she invited them to sit on the sofa and smiled: "I was really surprised today, I never thought that Young Master Liang was actually the mysterious chairman of the Emerald Martial Palace. Speaking of which, I should be considered to have gotten to know him a lot."


    "We have known each other for a long time." Sheng Liang''s expression was indifferent, other than that one sentence, he did not go any further.


    The host clearly understood his personality, so he didn''t ask further. He turned to Qiao Xuan and said: "I''m a fan of the Miss Qiao, today seeing you personally, is really too breathtaking."


    On the other hand, Qiao Xuan did not remember seeing her at all, but in front of everyone''s eyes, she could not act as though she did not remember anything, she only smiled.


    Miss Qiao definitely doesn''t remember me. At that time, I was just a small journalist. There was such a huge scene and it was surrounded by so many media. You definitely wouldn''t have noticed me." Seeing Qiao staring at her, the host said with a smile, "Just over a year ago, before you and Young Master Hua were engaged, didn''t you hold a charity auction in Mingshan? Don''t you remember?


    The studio was obviously warm like spring, but Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that her four limbs were cold. She felt a little frightened when she saw the smile on the host''s face.


    This host, the questions she asked were not the ones she had seen before. Furthermore, Yang Sen should have communicated with them before, she should know about the relationship between Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang, if not she would not have asked such questions on the stage. However, she deliberately mentioned Sheng Hua.


    Maybe because Qiao Xuan was silent for a long time, the audience started to whisper to each other. Qiao Xuan saw that the host had taken off her headphones, probably because the director had told her something, but she did not plan to do it.


    "I heard that previously, Young Master Hua was murdered, and now he is crippled. What does Miss Qiao think of this matter?" The host looked at Qiao Xuan aggressively, as if he wanted to force her into a dead end.

 C182

    This was a television station, not an entertainment show. Normally, she would never ask this kind of question, Qiao Xuan knew that this woman did it on purpose.


    However, she did not know how to answer that, so she counterattacked by saying that Sheng Hua was asking for it, but because Sheng Hua kidnapped her first and even caused her to miscarry, that was why he ended up like that?


    Obviously she couldn''t say it, and she didn''t want to talk about it in public.


    At this time, Sheng Liang leisurely held Qiao Xuan''s hand and said to the host: "There''s a record regarding my big brother in the Public Security Bureau. Since Sister Mai Han is interested, you can go and check it out, but my girlfriend is too timid, don''t joke with her."


    Although Sheng Liang used a very polite tone to speak to Mai Han, Qiao Xuan could clearly see the coldness in his eyes.


    Then, as if she had suddenly realized something, she asked while looking at them, "What did I hear just now? Young Master Liang, you said that Miss Qiao is your girlfriend?"


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan, and nodded with certainty: "You did not hear wrong, she is my girlfriend."


    There was a strange look in Mai Han''s eyes, but he still smiled and said: The two of you are really connected.


    Qiao Xuan did not expect Sheng Liang to say this in public. When she was backstage, she thought he would deny it.


    When she heard that he was admitting their relationship, the awkwardness in her heart slowly disappeared. He didn''t propose to her.


    Mai Han and Sheng Liang talked about some movies. After all, this movie was the most invested movie in the company since its inception, so there would be a lot of promotions.


    and Qiao Xuan stood up and politely greeted the audience. Mai Han also greeted them, "I hope that we can meet again next time, I still have a lot of questions to ask you."


    Qiao Xuan felt that it was definitely not her misconception, but this woman called Mai Han was actually targeting her.


    Walking out of the television station, a staff member caught up with them and gave a bunch of flowers to Qiao Xuan: "Someone sent this over for you. They even said that they would give it to you.


    It was a big bunch of hibiscus.


    Qiao Xuan was a little confused, as it was very rare for people to gift such flowers, she picked up the card in her hands and looked at it.


    Qiao Xuan was even more confused. He turned and looked at Sheng Liang: "Who did you say it was?"


    Sheng Liang looked at the words on the card and was slightly stunned. After that, he embraced her waist and said, "If you don''t like it, then throw it away. I''ll send you back with a blue demoness later."


    "It was someone else''s intentions after all, why throw it away?" Qiao Xuan placed the card back in his chest, and asked Sheng Liang while looking at him, "You know that Mai Han, why does it feel like I''ve offended her before?"


    The expression in Sheng Liang''s eyes darkened, but when he looked at Qiao Xuan, his face was filled with doting, "A woman born into an entertainment family, don''t mind her."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t think about it anymore. He only said to Sheng Liang when he was getting on the car: "I won''t be going back to the company for a while. I''m a bit tired, I want to go home and sleep."


    Actually, she was afraid that Sheng Liang would say something and ask her to go to his place at night.


    Sheng Liang actually didn''t object, he helped to fasten her seat belt and kissed her on the cheek. "Un, I worked hard last night.


    Speaking of last night, Qiao Xuan''s face immediately flushed red again. "What are you talking about?"


    "It seems like you''re quite spirited. Why don''t you ¡­" Sheng Liang leaned forward, as if he wanted to press her down.


    Qiao Xuan smiled and begged for mercy. "I was wrong."


    Sheng Liang rubbed her hair: "I''ll let you go, I''ll send you home."


    Qiao Xuan used to think that she would never be able to learn how to be coquettish with girls, that she didn''t know how to be emotional, that she wouldn''t act coquettishly with anyone, but when she was with Sheng Liang, she suddenly learnt it all.


    Sheng Liang said that she had developed some of his potential, but in truth, wasn''t she the same as well?


    He didn''t know how to be a lover in the past, but when he met the right person, he would be at the end of his rope.


    Sheng Liang sent Qiao Xuan to the entrance of the residential complex, then watched her go up the stairs before he drove away.


    Qiao Xuan entered the door and immediately sent a message to him, telling him that she had safely returned home and wanted him to drive slowly.


    Qiao Nan came out from the inside and saw Qiao Xuan changing her shoes. Beside her, there was the big bundle of hibiscus that she had just brought back.


    "My fans, are you jealous?" Qiao Xuan took it from his hand and walked towards her room.


    Qiao Nan shook his head behind her: "Which family''s fan would be so vicious and give away this flower?"


    Qiao Xuan was suddenly stunned. He looked at the flowers in his bosom, then turned around to look at Qiao Nan. "What do you mean?"


    "There are no tragedies of love in this world, only tragedies of love, that''s what it means." Qiao Nan looked at her curiously. "Sis, who sent this?"


    "I don''t know." Qiao Xuan said in a deep voice, but he still took the flowers into the room and placed them on the table, and stared at them for a good while.


    Only the tragedy of love, what does the flower giver want to express?


    Was she and Sheng Liang trying to curse them for a long time?


    Furthermore, she said that she had known Sheng Liang for a long time. It couldn''t be that she had a crush on him, so she gave him this bouquet of flowers as an anonymous gift?


    When Qiao Xuan thought of this, she felt cold all over, especially the two words on the card, "Zhu An An". She felt that it was sarcastic and unsettled, so she decided to throw the flowers into the trash can.


    His phone rang. Qiao Xuan picked it up and saw that it was a photo that Sheng Liang had sent him. In the picture, the commander was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open.


    Just as she was about to reply, Sheng Liang sent another message over. Look, it misses you.


    And then he said, I miss you too.


    Qiao Xuan laughed and replied him. They had only separated for three minutes, did you send the wrong person?


    After Qiao Xuan sent the message, he turned on the computer beside him. She posted some of the information on the company''s computer to the clouds, so that they could take a look when she returned home.


    After looking at it for a bit, Sheng Liang sent it over to her again. Do you really not want to consider coming to my place tonight?


    Recently, his skill in sweet-talking had increased by leaps and bounds. Qiao Xuan could not believe that this was the Sheng Liang that she used to know that was so cold that it would cause people to fear him.


    Then sleep with the commander.


    After Qiao Xuan said this, he couldn''t help but laugh out loud.


    The commander doesn''t have a body as delicate as yours. The most important thing is that I want to hear that you ¡­ The sound.


    Then, she suddenly felt that there was someone behind her. She suddenly turned around and saw Qiao Nan''s head also looking at her phone, so she immediately turned it on, "Why are you walking quietly?"


    Qiao Nan laughed until his face showed signs of understanding. "I thought Sheng Liang was really from the abstinence department, it turns out he is just a slut."

 C183

    "It has nothing to do with you." Qiao Xuan answered him word by word, then sat upright and began to read her information.


    Qiao Nan sat beside her, scratched his head and said: "Sis, I know he is very good to you right now, but I want to remind you that Sheng Liang is not an ordinary person. You have to be more cautious, don''t throw yourself in there."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers that were holding the mouse stopped, and his heart sank a little. "I know what I''m doing."


    "That''s good." Qiao Nan stood up and changed the topic, "I will be returning to Yunnan after the new year. Take good care of mom and dad, and also take good care of yourself."


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan nodded.


    Hearing Qiao Nan closing the door, Qiao Xuan leaned back in her chair and let out a light breath. She understood what Qiao Nan meant.


    But Sheng Liang, she wanted to believe him.


    Previously, when he was plotted by Senior and suffered such serious injuries, he had appeared right when she was almost violated by Senior. At that moment, she already recognized him.


    At least she knew that Sheng Liang had her in his heart.


    Regarding the matters of that day, she had never revealed the details to her family, especially the part where she appeared in the hotel, which Sheng Liang had never told his family before.


    Therefore, she could completely understand why Qiao Nan was so worried. It was just that, from the bottom of her heart, she didn''t want to have that kind of suspicion towards Sheng Liang anymore.


    It had probably been a while since Qiao Xuan had replied. Sheng Liang thought that she was angry and sent her a video invitation.


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the call. He placed his phone to the side to let her see that she was still working hard at home.


    "Are you accusing me of not paying enough?" Sheng Liang got off the Treadmill and wiped his sweat with a towel.


    Qiao Xuan saw that Yue Yang was only wearing a black sports vest on his body, revealing the strong muscles on his chest and arms. Especially the sweat on his head and neck, even through the screen, he could still feel the breath of a male hormone.


    "Were you running?" Qiao Xuan automatically ignored his question and asked.


    "Un, I haven''t been exercising recently. I feel that my body is about to collapse. If I don''t train a bit more, I won''t be able to satisfy you." When Sheng Liang saw that he had finished speaking, his face instantly flushed red, and the corner of his lips hooked into a smile.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the door to confirm that there was no one outside, and then said in a low voice: "How did you become like this, it''s not serious at all."


    "I''m only being disrespectful to you." Sheng Liang spoke seriously.


    The redness on Qiao Xuan''s face did not fade as it floated back up once again, and he looked away, saying, "Who wants to hear your flowery words, who knows how many people I''ve told you before?"


    But after she finished speaking, she saw Sheng Liang becoming silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and she couldn''t help but think of Qi Luo.


    Just like in the past, ever since they had been together, the name Qi Luo had become a taboo for them, and no one had ever mentioned it again.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even know how Qi Luo left or where he went.


    Even Qi Chu did not seem to have appeared in their line of sight.


    "What do you have for dinner?" Sensing the cold atmosphere, Sheng Liang changed the topic.


    Qiao Xuan also cooperated, he shook his head and said, "I don''t know, my parents aren''t even back yet."


    Sheng Liang took a glance at the sea urchin and said: "Don''t you like pricks? I asked Luo Jie to bring some salmon and sea urchins over from the navel mountain for you. Today''s fish is very fresh;


    "No wonder I didn''t see him at the company today." Qiao Xuan said lightly, "Thank you."


    "Don''t just talk, I want to see what you''re really doing." Sheng Liang smiled meaningfully. He heard the doorbell ring and said to her, "Your seafood dish is here, let''s chat again tonight."


    Qiao Xuan waited for him to close the video, then walked out. Seeing that Qiao Nan had already opened the door, Luo Jie commanded the few of them to move the boxes inside, there were actually four big boxes.


    Qiao Xuan was surprised: "Why are there so many?"


    Luo Jie laughed: "I went to the Yang Cheng Lake and got two boxes of crabs. It should be enough for you guys to celebrate New Year."


    Qiao Nan frowned: "Your Young Master Liang''s way of expressing love is really special. Someone sent flowers to him and he sent seafood over, the crux is that there are so many of them, how are we supposed to put them out?"


    Hearing his words, Luo Jie said: "Don''t worry, Young Master Liang has already invited Master Liu from Guangfu Tower, he is here to prepare it for you, he will tell you how to store the rest."


    Qiao Nan was secretly speechless. As expected, when Sheng Liang did things, it was watertight, no wonder he ate Qiao Xuan alive.


    When the Qiao family''s parents returned, they saw that the table was filled with dishes that had been cooked by the most famous master in the Sang City, and they naturally praised Sheng Liang endlessly.


    Naturally, Qiao Xuan could not contain his joy as he took a photo and sent a photo of the delicious food on the table, and then, he silently sent an emoji of someone kissing.


    Sheng Liang returned very quickly. That kiss this morning was really too perfunctory, you have to compensate me multiple times.


    Qiao Xuan looked at his family members who were still talking and laughing, nobody was paying attention to her, and quickly replied, "Alright."


    "Sis, can you consider my feelings as a bachelor dog? Don''t go there like that." Qiao Nan complained.


    Qiao Xuan put away his phone, picked up his chopsticks and ate his food: "Then quickly get yourself a girlfriend."


    "I would like to, but love is not something that can be bought in the market. It is something that can only be met by luck and not sought." Qiao Nan said in an enigmatic tone.


    Qiao¡¯s father suddenly thought of something and said to Qiao Nan: "That Xiao Nan, you''re at home right now. Dad will introduce you to a girlfriend, okay?"


    The few of them looked towards the Qiao¡¯s father at the same time. Qiao Xuan asked, "Dad, when did you become Yue Lao?"


    "Yeah, how come I didn''t know you knew any other girls?" The Qiao¡¯s mother agreed.


    Qiao Nan didn''t care at all. He smiled and said, "The key thing is, can you read the woman that my father introduced?"


    When the Qiao¡¯s father heard him, he immediately became anxious. Putting down his chopsticks, he glared and said, "What do you mean by ''the girl I introduced'', can''t look? Let me tell you, that girl is beautiful. You are definitely worthy of her!"


    "Do you have a photo? Come, let me take a look first." Qiao Nan said as he extended his hand out.


    Qiao¡¯s father shook his head: How can I ask others for it? Besides, I didn''t think I would introduce it to you.


    "Dad, how exactly did you know him?" Qiao Xuan was a little curious. Qiao¡¯s father rarely went out during this period of time, even if they were to go out for activities, they would be with Qiao¡¯s mother. It was impossible for them to not know any girls.


    "That''s right, the girl who was beaten up, didn''t I save her, so she left my contact details for me and called me two days ago saying that she found a job. I just said that you let Nan find a girlfriend." Seeing that everyone was looking at him with that kind of expression, Qiao¡¯s father''s voice unconsciously became lower and lower, and he felt as if he had done something bad.

 C184

    Although Qiao Xuan did not want to hurt Qiao¡¯s father''s enthusiasm, he still spoke honestly: "Dad, I don''t object to you saving her, but you don''t understand that girl at all. Do you know her background, why she was chased by those men?


    Seeing that the Qiao¡¯s mother and Qiao Nan were both silent and seemed to have the same intention as Qiao Xuan, the Qiao¡¯s father was slightly unhappy: "Didn''t you previously not understand Sheng Liang as well, and without our consent, you already had a child with him, what did we say?"


    Qiao Xuan never thought that the Qiao¡¯s father would implicate her, and even that the child. He frowned: "Father, I am only analyzing it with you, if you really want to do this, I have my reservations."


    Feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, Qiao Xuan stood up after he finished speaking: "I''m full, you guys go ahead and eat."


    Returning to his room and laying on the bed, Qiao Xuan tossed and turned, thinking about what his father had said just now.


    Her family all knew about Qiao¡¯s father''s stubborn temper, so she tried her best to please him. However, she had only said a few words on the matter just now, telling him not to rashly introduce an unknown girl to Qiao Nan, and Qiao¡¯s father had actually said those words to her.


    The Qiao¡¯s mother knocked on the door and came in. He walked to the bedside and said to Qiao Xuan: "Hua''er, don''t lower yourself to your father''s level, he is just an old man and wants to show his face no matter what. He is not happy about what you say to him, so stop talking rubbish.


    Qiao Xuan sat up and hugged his mother''s shoulders. "Don''t worry, I won''t really be angry with him.


    The Qiao¡¯s mother caressed her face and said softly, "I know that you are still feeling sad about your child and the meat that has fallen from your body. Hua''er, Mom can tell that Sheng Liang is sincere to you this time. Whether or not a man uses his heart, it''s written all over his eyes, but his identity is right there, and since he''s an outstanding person, others will naturally take note of him. So, if you plan to spend your life with him, then you can''t be too passive. Don''t care about what others say and make full use of your own happiness. "


    Qiao Xuan savored his mother''s words and said softly, "I understand, Mom."


    Qiao¡¯s mother patted her hand: "It''s good that you know this."


    After his mother left the room, Qiao Xuan thought about many things. It was as if she had indeed been on the defensive for a long time, and even if she clearly liked Sheng Liang, she had never taken the initiative to fight for him. She had only been waiting for Sheng Liang to turn around.


    Indeed, she should make some changes.


    Two days later was the company''s annual meeting. Sheng Liang had specially arranged for a holiday to be held at the end of the year so that everyone could relax.


    Xu Yi was responsible for the annual meeting process, and this was the first time he did it, so he did it very seriously, taking into account even the smallest details.


    Besides eating and drinking, the lottery was what the staff were looking forward to the most, because the prizes were definitely quite generous. The first prize was an SUV worth three hundred thousand and the second prize was a hundred thousand in cash.


    Of course, all of these were specifically approved by Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan leaned against the window and drank a glass of red wine. Watching the bustling scene over there, he asked Sheng Liang: "Should I try my luck too?"


    "You don''t need to try, your luck is also the best." Sheng Liang pressed a few buttons on his phone, then indicated to Qiao Xuan for her to look at her phone.


    Qiao Xuan took out her phone. Seeing that he had sent her a red packet, she instinctively opened it.


    5201314.


    "You ¡­" Qiao Xuan didn''t know what to say, and asked after a while, "Isn''t the most red packets able to get you 200 at most?"


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, but the meaning was clear, there was nothing that he could not do.


    Okay, Qiao Xuan had to admit this.


    "However, your red packet is too big, can I return it?" She felt that if she accepted this red packet, she would have to pay a corresponding price.


    Sheng Liang went closer to her, and whispered in her ear: "You sell yourself to me, what''s mine is all yours."


    He was so close to her, especially when he was speaking into her ear. The warm breath on her skin made her entire body go numb. She quickly reached out and tried to push him away: "Don''t be like this. There are so many people watching."


    "So what? I''m not happy about letting them watch free movies. They don''t have any objections." As Sheng Liang said that, he had already placed the goblet in Qiao Xuan''s hands to the side. With both hands wrapped around her waist, he tilted his head slightly and kissed her lips little by little.


    Qiao Xuan''s consciousness was being controlled by him again. She didn''t even have her own thoughts, she only followed his feelings, and only when he was about to suffocate from his kiss did she hurriedly knock on his shoulder.


    Sheng Liang let go of her. Seeing her taking deep breaths with her face flushed red, the pleasure in her heart kept increasing.


    "I didn''t sleep well last night. Accompany me to catch up on my sleep." Sheng Liang couldn''t wait any longer, so he grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand and started walking towards the resting room.


    At this moment, everyone was watching the lottery draw. There was no one around.


    Sheng Liang''s resting room was just like a hotel suite, he had let them do this to make it easier for him and Qiao Xuan to enjoy themselves.


    Just as she closed the door, Sheng Liang pressed Qiao Xuan down on the door and kissed her wantonly.


    Qiao Xuan was unable to resist it at all, both of her hands were supporting his chest, but the strength in her entire body was quickly melted by his kiss, and her body slowly softened.


    Sheng Liang saw that she was sliding down, so he picked her up and carried her to the bedside. He placed her on the bed, and before she could react, he pressed on her again, kissing her as he slid his hands into her clothes.


    Qiao Xuan only felt that there was numbness everywhere, and didn''t know which hand to push away, so she could only avoid his probing as much as possible.


    But to Sheng Liang, this wasn''t something that could resist him at all. He kissed her all the way down her cheeks, then used his teeth to bite open the buttons on her clothes, revealing both sides of her beautiful collarbone.


    Sensing that he was biting her, Qiao Xuan frowned. He tilted his head to the side, biting his lower lip.


    Sheng Liang pinched her chin and said: "Don''t suppress yourself, just shout out, I like listening."


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes and looked at him, her face completely red. This was too embarrassing.


    "Are you sure you don''t want to," Sheng Liang lowered his head and once again bit at her slender white neck, causing Qiao Xuan to shiver slightly, "You''re lying."


    He would not take the initiative to speak his mind otherwise. With her acting this way, he would sooner or later lose his patience.


    Qiao Xuan held his face, raised his head and kissed him. Imitating his actions, he twisted his tongue.


    Sheng Liang''s original movements were blocked. Seeing that Qiao Xuan was doing his best to please her, he gently released her and let her lie back down, "You don''t need to do this kind of thing. In front of me, do you need to never force yourself to know about it?"

 C185

    "Am I stupid?" Her actions were stopped, causing Qiao Xuan to feel somewhat defeated. In terms of work, she might be perfect, but in terms of relationships, she felt like an idiot.


    Sheng Liang kissed her eyelids, then gently bit her earlobes, "You are a demon."


    Didn''t she know how provocative her expression was now?


    Hm? Was this praise or comfort?


    But Qiao Xuan did not care about all these, because Sheng Liang was already using his actions to prove to her that she was the only one who could make him so crazy.


    If this wasn''t within the company, and if the employees were to say something after the lottery draw, Sheng Liang would probably not end it so easily. However, when they were bathing together, Qiao Xuan was tossed around by him again.


    After the two of them changed their clothes, Sheng Liang opened the door and saw Luo Jie and Xu Yi outside with anxious expressions. He asked calmly: "Is it over?"


    Xu Yi did not dare make a sound, and only glanced at Luo Jie, who said with a bitter face: "Young Master Liang, it has already been half an hour."


    However, they didn''t dare to disturb him, so they could only wait here.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang was still acting as if nothing had happened and turned to look at Qiao Xuan behind her. Seeing that her face was about to turn red, he intentionally lifted her chin in front of Luo Jie and Xu Yi, and kissed her lightly, "I''ll go by myself, go to sleep for a bit."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even dare to look at Luo Jie''s and Xu Yi''s current expressions. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    After they left, Qiao Xuan waited for Sheng Liang to come back alone in the resting room. In the daytime, she definitely wouldn''t be able to sleep, so she rummaged through the books on his shelves in boredom.


    Hearing her cell phone ring, she confirmed that it was not hers, and followed the sound to see, she saw that Sheng Liang''s phone was on the bed.


    She walked over to pick it up, and when she saw the words Mansion, she knew it was from Sheng Family, but who would still look for him there? After Golden Age was acquired, no one seemed to have asked him where he went.


    The bell rang for a long time, and Qiao Xuan just watched like that. In the end, she still slipped and picked up the phone, and heard a female voice: "Is it Third Young Master?"


    It should be the maid from Sheng Family. Qiao Xuan said: "He''s not here right now, what business do you have that I can pass on to him?"


    The other party paused for a moment, and after asking someone, he said: "Miss Qiao right? The Lord said he wants you all to come home for dinner tonight."


    Sheng Tianhao did not seem to be surprised by her being with Sheng Liang, it seemed like he was not really busy playing chess all day and was paying attention to their movements.


    "When Sheng Liang comes back, I will tell him. But I won''t guarantee that he will go." As Qiao Xuan said this, he hung up the phone.


    In her previous life, she hadn''t paid attention to Sheng Liang and had occasionally met him. Her impression of him wasn''t very good either, let alone sympathize with his background.


    However, the situation after her rebirth was completely different, and had allowed her to understand Sheng Liang. She couldn''t help but hold a bit of heartache towards his upbringing, and so she unconsciously felt somewhat against Sheng Tianhao.


    But Sheng Liang had never said these things.


    Qiao Xuan put his phone back in its original position and sat there in a daze. He wanted to think about how he would react after telling Sheng Liang about it.


    When Sheng Liang returned, he did not enter, but stood by the door and said to her: "Let''s go, I''ll send you home."


    Qiao Xuan stood up, looked at him and said, "Come over, I have something to tell you."


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what was going on. When he walked closer to her, he wanted to hug her, but Qiao Xuan glanced at her on the bed: "You forgot to take your phone. I just picked up a call for you."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s expression, Sheng Liang did not continue teasing her and flipped through his phone.


    Qiao Xuan saw that the smile on his lips had gradually disappeared, and his eyes were drooped, so his emotions could not be seen.


    "Your dad told you to come home and eat dinner." Qiao Xuan whispered.


    After a while, Sheng Liang regained his composure and asked: "Yang Sen is treating tonight, what do you want to eat?"


    Since he said that, Qiao Xuan understood what he meant. He did not ask anymore and continued to discuss about what to eat with him.


    Sheng Liang''s circle only had a few people. She now knew what the last time he brought her to see them meant. At that time, he had already admitted his relationship with her.


    When he thought about how she had rejected him in public last time, Qiao Xuan was a little afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward if she saw them again. However, they did not bring it up again.


    Sheng Liang looked at Mo Lin and said to Qiao Xuan: "Other than the few of us, no one else knows Mo Lin''s true identity. Let me tell you this now, he is actually my second brother, Sheng Yan."


    was a little shocked, Sheng Yan was the second son of Sheng Family, it seemed like he had already ceased to exist ever since she had entered the Sheng Family in her past life. She heard the maid at home discussing privately, saying that he had died from drug poisoning.


    From the looks of it, he was a cicada who had shed its shell and changed his identity to lead a different life. However, he must have changed his appearance too, otherwise, no matter how well he hid, he would definitely be recognized.


    Qiao Xuan still remembered the first time she met him. She seemed to think that she saw him somewhere, probably because she saw his pictures in her previous life.


    It could be seen that he valued Sheng Yan greatly. Now that he had told her such an important secret, it showed that he truly treated her as one of his own accord.


    While the few of them were drinking wine together, Luo Keke and Qiao Xuan was drinking coffee in a corner.


    "It''s great to see all of you like this." Luo Keke looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Luckily you didn''t give up."


    Qiao Xuan laughed, "Actually I almost gave up. At that time, I felt that there was still some distance between us that we couldn''t cross."


    "But you still went over. True love is, no matter how big of an obstacle there is between the two of you, in the end, no one is able to leave." Luo Keke said as if he had something on his mind, and looked at Sheng Yan from time to time.


    Qiao Xuan followed her gaze and looked over. Seeing Sheng Liang and Sheng Yan talking about something, Sheng Liang''s expression revealed an undetectable loneliness.


    Although he acted like nothing had happened, ever since she told him that Sheng Tianhao wanted him to go back home, Qiao Xuan felt that he seemed to be a little absent-minded.


    Actually, he wanted to go back.


    "What do you think?" Sheng Yan asked after Sheng Liang finished speaking.


    Sheng Liang shook his head. "I don''t know."


    All these years, the reason he had been doing all this, was to wait for this day to come. To wait for Sheng Tianhao to explain to him what had happened all those years ago, as well as his ancestry.


    But now that things had really gotten to this point, he was actually a little scared. He didn''t know if the truth that Sheng Tianhao was going to tell him was something he could accept.

 C186

    Sheng Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our situation is different. I do like my current life better and will not go back, but you have to think about it carefully."


    Sheng Liang understood that this was the only thing that no one could help him with.


    Sheng Liang held the wine cup, and just as he took a sip, he saw Qiao Xuan walking towards him, not waiting for him to say anything, Qiao Xuan pulled his hand and said: "I have something, let''s go first."


    Seeing that she was panicking, Sheng Liang stood up, bid farewell to the others, and followed her out.


    But Qiao Xuan never said anything about what happened from the moment he got off the elevator and got on the car park.


    Snowflakes started to float outside again, and the pedestrians on the street were sparse. Seeing that Sheng Liang was about to head in her direction, Qiao Xuan softly said, "Go to the Sheng Family, it''s still not too late."


    Sheng Liang stopped the car, the fingers that held onto the steering wheel tightened, and didn''t speak for a long time.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him and said: "I''m sorry, it''s not that I want to interfere with your decision, I just do not wish for you to regret it."


    It seemed that even Qiao Xuan had seen through his thoughts, showing just how obvious his contradiction was. Sheng Liang ruffled Qiao Xuan''s hair and said with a pampering tone: "Alright, I''ll listen to you."


    Changing direction, Sheng Liang headed towards the mansion, the knot in his heart slowly became clear.


    Perhaps from the beginning, he had been waiting for someone to say something definite to him.


    It was Qiao Xuan who gave him an excuse to return.


    Sheng Liang took out a hand and held onto Qiao Xuan''s hand tightly, not releasing it along the way.


    The car drove into the courtyard and they got off the car. Snowflakes instantly fell on the two people''s heads and bodies, Sheng Liang reached out and brushed them off, only then did he push the door open.


    "The third young master is back." The maid who opened the door looked excited and raised her voice.


    Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand and walked into the dining hall. Seeing the long dining table filled with dishes, but only Sheng Tianhao sat there lonely. When he saw them, his eyes lit up.


    It had been a while since they last met, but the person who had shocked the shopping mall without getting angry was now looking like an ordinary old man.


    Qiao Xuan saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched at all. Sheng Tianhao just stood there waiting for them.


    Seeing that the two of them were silent, Qiao Xuan secretly pulled at Sheng Liang, and then called out: "Dad."


    "Sit down." Sheng Tianhao''s aura still could not be changed, and his face did not show much of an expression.


    Qiao Xuan even suspected that the loneliness he felt just now was just an illusion.


    Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan sat down at the side, still neither of them spoke, and there was a long period of silence. Even though Qiao Xuan had experienced this before, he was still unable to adapt to this kind of atmosphere.


    After a long while, Sheng Liang finally asked: "Where are Aunt Xun and Sheng Qian?"


    "He was scolded by me." Sheng Tianhao didn''t hide anything, "That brat Sheng Qian, I don''t know what kind of evil he is, he insisted on going to Tibet, but Xun Hui didn''t stop him, it''s really a failure for a loving mother."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sunk. Did Sheng Qian go to Tibet? She didn''t seem to have heard of him ever since they saw him in the hospital due to his injuries. She had met him a few times but due to the subtle relationship between them, she was too embarrassed to ask.


    It was already the end of the year, and it should have been cold in Tibet, yet he still hadn''t returned.


    Sensing Qiao Xuan''s worry, Sheng Liang looked at her and said to Sheng Tianhao: "Bring him back, I''ll make the arrangements."


    Sheng Tianhao did not say anything, but snorted: "Eat."


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s words just now, Qiao Xuan''s heart was grateful. Although he had never felt anything like a lover towards Sheng Qian, it had far surpassed the word of friendship. It was not that Sheng Liang had never expressed his dissatisfaction with her, but at a time like this, he was still worried about her feelings.


    During the meal, no one spoke. It was so quiet that only the sound of a knife and a fork touching a plate could be heard.


    Actually, even in the past, their family was also like this. The etiquette of nobility always lacked the pleasures of commoners.


    After dinner, Sheng Liang told Qiao Xuan to wait for him below, and he followed Sheng Tianhao to the study room.


    Qiao Xuan could probably guess what they were going to talk about, but she was also very curious. Previously, when Sheng Liang did something wrong, he would scold her without a care for Sheng Liang''s face.


    But this time, Sheng Liang had taken away half of his life''s work, he actually didn''t have the slightest intention to hold him accountable.


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that the reason Sheng Tianhao brought Sheng Liang back was to denounce him for his crimes, but now it seemed that wasn''t the case at all.


    But Sheng Liang had returned with true purpose. He had waited for this day for more than twenty years.


    In the study room, Sheng Tianhao sat on the large chair he was sitting on. He said without even raising his eyes, "It has been hard on you to think about it for so many years, but I still have to remind you that don''t lose your mind just because of the little bit of victory before you. The market is like a battlefield and the outcome will be decided in an instant.


    "I will remember your teachings." Sheng Liang stood there, his gaze never leaving Sheng Tianhao, "I have a question to ask you, I hope you can answer truthfully."


    Sheng Tianhao''s body moved, as though she was using these small movements to hide her emotions: "What do you want to ask?"


    "How did my mother die?" Sheng Liang clenched his fingers tightly, so as to not let himself appear too agitated.


    Sheng Tianhao looked up at him: "You''re talking about that crazy woman? Didn''t you always know that you fell down the stairs and died? "


    Sheng Liang shook his head, "This is not the truth."


    "Then what do you think is the truth?" Sheng Tianhao laughed coldly, "Sheng Hua, you can''t tolerate Sheng Hua. Weren''t you the one who heard it from others, and pushed her down? What, what did you discover now?"


    "Blood type." Sheng Liang looked at Sheng Tianhao without blinking, "It is impossible that I am the son of two of you. You or her, there is one person who is not my biological parents."


    Sheng Tianhao''s finger trembled, but he was originally sitting behind a desk, so Sheng Liang probably did not see it. He said with a cold smile: "This is the conclusion you reached? Is the reason why we overturn the entire world and flourish was due to this absurd reason? "


    "I just want to know." Sheng Liang''s tone was unquestionable.


    Sheng Tianhao looked at him closely, and then said after a long while, "I don''t have the answer that you want here."


    Sheng Liang still wanted to say something, but Sheng Tianhao had already waved his hand at him, "You can leave now, and also, you don''t need to come back in the future. Initially, I held onto a little bit of illusion for you, but now, it seems that I have thought too much, what kind of outstanding child can a crazy woman give birth to?


    Sheng Liang clenched his fingers tightly, but in the end, he released her, "You are right, I am a fool. From today onwards, I will no longer have any relationship with Sheng Tianhao, and I will also not be the son of Sheng Family. I will only have a mother, and no father."

 C187

    Seeing that he had turned around and walked out with firm steps, Sheng Tianhao closed his eyes and smiled.


    The instant Sheng Liang walked out of the door, the stifling feeling in his chest that had been suppressed for a long time felt much better. He had wanted to say these words a long time ago.


    Seeing him come down from the stairs, Qiao Xuan immediately stood up from the sofa: "Sheng Liang."


    Sheng Liang walked over and stopped her. "Let''s go."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what they had just said, but when Sheng Liang held her hand, she felt that it was completely wet.


    The snow was already falling in a thick layer, and the yard was glowing silver in the light.


    Sheng Liang raised his head to look at this place that he had grown up in, and in his heart, he was still somewhat reluctant to part with it.


    "I will never come back to this place ever again." Sheng Liang seemed to be saying this to Qiao Xuan, but also seemed to be saying this to himself.


    Qiao Xuan gently held his hand, raised her head, and looked at him: "I support you in every decision you make."


    No matter what happened, she would always stand by Sheng Liang''s side.


    Sheng Liang held her tightly in his embrace, his chest suddenly boiled up. Even though he was always on his own, he was unable to control his emotions, and could only hold her tighter.


    After sending Qiao Xuan home, Sheng Liang stood at the foot of the stairs, helping her pat the snow off her body and softly said: "Go back and boil some ginger soup, so as to not catch a cold."


    Qiao Xuan saw that he was still like a snowman, his hair and shoulders were covered with snow, but he did not seem to be aware of it. She reached out to help him wipe it, but when his hair could not reach her, she tiptoed.


    Sheng Liang also didn''t move, he only looked at her, and didn''t know if it was because of the melting snow on his eyelashes, but his eyes were actually sparkling and translucent.


    Finally, unable to bear it, he grabbed her hand and said, "Well, you''d better go in. It''s cold outside."


    Qiao Xuan was a little reluctant to part with him, especially after seeing Sheng Tianhao for the first time. She felt that Sheng Liang was in a bad mood, and said lightly: "How about, you go with me. It''s snowing, and driving is not safe on the road."


    Sheng Liang laughed: "It''s not so good for me to live in your home, it''s fine, I will drive carefully, quickly go up."


    After hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan did not force it any further, she slowly turned and walked inside, but she still could not help but turn her head and look at Sheng Liang again and again. When she entered the elevator, she saw that Sheng Liang was still standing there and looking at her.


    When Qiao Xuan returned home, Qiao Nan and his parents were watching TV, she pretended that nothing had happened and greeted them, then immediately went back to her room and pulled open the curtains. When she saw Sheng Liang walking towards the entrance of the residential complex through the snow, she immediately called him: "I forgot to tell you just now, when you get home you must tell me, remember to go back and take a hot bath, and ask Qing Qing to boil the ginger soup for you.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked in the direction of her window, "You should also go to sleep early."


    Qiao Xuan hung up the phone and watched as his car drove off. Only then did she close the curtain and sit down on the bed with her mobile in hand, waiting for him to send her a message.


    After about half an hour, Qiao Xuan felt like she had waited for a century before her phone finally rang. She saw that Sheng Liang had said that the road was very slippery path, so she had reached home now.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart finally settled down, and went out to watch TV with his family.


    Because of what Qiao¡¯s father said to him that day, Qiao Xuan still felt very uncomfortable, and Qiao¡¯s father also really cared about face. In the end, she was not willing to apologize to him, and the two of them hadn''t really talked much.


    However, after seeing Sheng Tianhao today, Qiao Xuan was somewhat touched. No matter how strong a person was, there would be a day when they become elders. They would also wish for their children to be by their side, let alone ordinary people like them.


    "Dad, the girl you''re talking about, when are you going to let her come home? Isn''t she an orphan? It''s almost the new year, there''s nowhere else to go, so we can let her spend the new year with us." Qiao Xuan took the initiative and said.


    Qiao¡¯s father looked at her in shock: "You don''t object?"


    "I wasn''t against it, I was afraid that our family''s little Nan would be very upset and apologetic." Qiao Xuan said half-jokingly.


    "Who''s being so naughty? Even if I had a few girlfriends, they would still be the ones who dumped me!" Qiao Nan immediately retorted.


    Qiao¡¯s father knocked his head and said: "You still have the nerve to say that Old Zhang''s grandson knows how to play soy sauce, you don''t even have a girlfriend, what''s the use of asking you!"


    Qiao Nan looked wronged, "I''m also helpless. I''m obviously so handsome, although I''m not from the rich second generation, I have a sister CEO, why is it that others do not like me?"


    "What does your sister''s ability have to do with you? If you can''t make it yourself, then what''s the point of you?" Qiao¡¯s mother also said at the side.


    Although he was surrounded and attacked by the entire family, seeing that the former hatred between Qiao¡¯s father and Qiao Xuan had been resolved, Qiao Nan coordinated very well. In the end, he said with a sullen face, "You guys talked for a long time, are you guys going to help me introduce my girlfriend?"


    Qiao¡¯s father said: "Tomorrow I will go to her shop to take a look and get some information about her. If she is really as pitiful as she says, I will have her come to my house for the new year and then let you follow her more. If you have no objections, I will ask her to talk about friends for a bit, is that alright?"


    After Qiao¡¯s father finished, he looked at Qiao Xuan especially for her opinion.


    "Mn," Qiao Xuan nodded, and then patted Qiao Nan: "Do you have any objections?"


    "No objections. If I have any objections, just arrange them." Qiao Nan said with a smile.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him, touched his face and laughed: "Are you blushing?"


    "Scram!" Qiao Nan slapped her hand away, "Don''t you know that men and women are too intimate with each other, you have to touch your Young Master Liang!"


    This time, it was Qiao Xuan''s turn to blush, but she did not want to be discovered, so she immediately stood up and turned around: "I don''t care about you, I''m going to sleep."


    Qiao Xuan returned to his room and looked at the phone on his bed. Sheng Liang did not send any more messages, probably because he was too tired and fell asleep.


    She put the phone under her pillow, took a shower and changed into her pajamas before slowly falling asleep.


    However, she did not expect to be shocked by a piece of news the next morning at breakfast.


    Sheng Tianhao used the media to send a lawyer''s letter declaring that he no longer had any relationship with Sheng Liang!


    What was going on? Weren''t they eating together yesterday? She didn''t feel anything was wrong.


    Or did they discuss something in the study room, and what did Sheng Liang say that made Sheng Tianhao angry out of embarrassment?


    Qiao Xuan immediately called Sheng Liang, wanting to ask what was going on. However, after the phone had rung for a long time, he was unable to answer it.

 C188

    Qiao Xuan started to worry, he did not have the time to eat breakfast, and quickly put on a down jacket and headed out.


    Qiao¡¯s mother had thought that she was rushing to work and warned her repeatedly to be careful on the way.


    Qiao Nan also saw the announcement, and said while eating the porridge: "The Wealthy Class water is really deep."


    To break off the relationship between father and son, there was actually such an operation.


    Qiao Xuan was very anxious, but the snow was still falling and it was hard to walk on the road, so she could only call Qing Qing first: "Qing Qing, where is Sheng Liang?"


    Qing Qing looked up and whispered: "Didn''t you guys get a break? Master is still sleeping."


    "Oh." Knowing that he was fine, Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, "The company is on holiday, but there are still some matters that have to be settled. Let him sleep, don''t wake him up, if he wakes up, tell him to call me."


    Hearing Qing Qing''s reply, Qiao Xuan hung up the phone.


    Sheng Liang had yet to wake up, so he should still not know about Sheng Tianhao''s decision. Although he might still have some hatred towards his father, he had grown up in that house. From the look on his face when he left last night, one could tell that he had feelings for him.


    Now, if he knew that Sheng Tianhao had just kicked him out of the Sheng Family like that, he would probably feel very uncomfortable in his heart.


    However, she understood Sheng Liang. At this point of time, he might only want to lick his wounds silently by himself, if she were to go, it would only make things more difficult for him.


    Qiao Xuan went to the company alone. The employees were on vacation, so the building was empty.


    While walking towards her office, Qiao Xuan passed by Sheng Liang''s office. Hearing that there seemed to be a sound coming from inside, her heart suddenly sunk, and then she tiptoed over and gently opened the door.


    However, she saw that there was no one inside. She thought she must have heard wrongly. Just as she was about to leave, the wind suddenly blew behind her, causing her to feel pain in the back of her head.


    It was unknown how much time had passed before she heard someone call her, and the voice could not be more familiar. She opened her eyes and saw Sheng Liang hugging her, a look of worry on her face.


    She slowly sat up and saw that she was still in Sheng Liang''s office. With just that one movement, her head hurt.


    Sheng Liang pulled her hand: "Don''t move, there''s no blood, but it''s a little swollen. I''ll go and get some ice cubes for you to cool down."


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was about to stand up, Qiao Xuan quickly pulled him back: "When you came over, did you not see anyone? I heard there was a commotion here, so I wanted to come in and take a look, but I was knocked unconscious. "


    "What?" Sheng Liang frowned, looking at her, "Are you saying that you didn''t fall down yourself, but that someone ambushed you?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded her head: "He''s behind me. I didn''t see his face, but I think he should be a man."


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t be such a sound when the stick fell down.


    Sheng Liang''s face immediately darkened. He looked at the surveillance camera installed in his office and estimated that it was destroyed, including the ones outside.


    From the looks of it, it seemed like it was the doing of an insider.


    But he didn''t say anything, he just went to get some ice cubes to help Qiao Xuan apply the cold compress. This made her feel intense pain, and he said softly, "I''ll bring you to the hospital to have a look."


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "It''s not that serious, it''ll be fine after a while."


    Sheng Liang did not speak, he only looked at her while pressing the ice cube in his hand against the back of her head. I have yearned for this for a long time, because I did not wish to have even the slightest bit of relationship with that family. However, when I saw the letter he sent, I did not feel relieved. "


    Qiao Xuan took off his hand, put the ice cube to the side, and placed her own hand on the back of his hand. "I know you feel sad about this, but you must remember that you still have me.


    Sheng Liang slowly hugged her and rested his chin on her forehead. "I won''t leave you either."


    After a long while, Qiao Xuan finally remembered something, and raised his head to ask Yue Yang: "Have you eaten? Let''s go eat something."


    When she called, Qing Qing had said that he hadn''t woken up yet. When she arrived at the company, he came over immediately.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang helped her up, "Are you sure you''re alright?"


    Qiao Xuan laughed, and then turned around on his spot: "I''m really fine, but have you checked if I lost anything? That person should be a thief."


    Sheng Liang did not let her think about this anymore, and embraced her as they walked out: "Let''s go to that restaurant last time to drink wontons. I miss that taste a little."


    After the conversation was successfully changed, Qiao Xuan said: "Alright, it just so happens that it''s very close there, so we can walk there."


    Today, Qiao Xuan was wearing a white down jacket and a red wool hat. He wrapped himself with a scarf that was the same as the hat and made her skin even whiter.


    Sheng Liang held her hand and looked down at her from time to time, brushing the snow off her hat.


    Despite the weather, the wonton shop was still bustling with business. They had to wait for a while before they could find a place to eat. Furthermore, the boss was busy. It was the customers themselves who brought the cooked wontons over.


    Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to this kind of environment.


    But before she could stand up, Sheng Liang pressed her hand down: "I''ll go."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned as he watched Sheng Liang walk out. After a while, he brought their wonton over and placed it in front of her: "Eat quickly."


    If there was a person who could enjoy simple matters with him while living a prosperous life, then that person must be willing to make such a choice because he loved him.


    Qiao Xuan was very glad that she met Sheng Liang, who was willing to live a normal life with her.


    As they were eating, Qiao Xuan heard the people beside them talking about him, and some of them were taking pictures with their phones, and some of the girls were even standing beside them, carefully asking Sheng Liang, "Are you Sheng Liang? Can you help us sign your names?


    Sheng Liang had always been a very low-key person, and she also did not like noisy environments. Now that he was being observed by other people, he would definitely be troubled. Qiao Xuan somewhat regretted bringing him here, and hurriedly said to the two girls: "Sorry, it''s not convenient for him to ¡­" I''ll sign it for you.


    But before she could finish speaking, Sheng Liang had already said: "It''s alright, where are we signing?"


    The two girls were so excited that they immediately reached out their hands and said, "Can I sign it? Thank you!"


    Due to his usual habit, Sheng Liang would always bring a pen. He took out the pen and wrote the two words Sheng Liang in the hands of the two girls.


    "Thank you, thank you!" The two girls bowed to him excitedly, turned around and said happily, "Ah ah ah ah, my husband gave me an autograph!"


    "He''s my husband, alright!?" another girl retorted.


    Qiao Xuan looked at them and pretended to be displeased: "You are a national husband now, so what am I?"

 C189

    "National Young Mistress." Sheng Liang wiped the soup off the corner of her mouth with a tissue as he remained calm and collected.


    His actions immediately caused another round of exclamations, all of the girls'' gazes were focused on Qiao Xuan, filled with unspeakable jealousy and hate, Qiao Xuan lowered his head, wishing that he could bury his face in the bowl.


    Some people posted this video online, but the two people who weren''t from the entertainment industry beautifully posted it on the headlines.


    Luo Jie asked Sheng Liang: "Should I get them to delete it?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head.


    He looked at the picture of Qiao Xuan on his phone, and a touch of tenderness unconsciously touched his brows.


    "Miss Qiao is pretty good with the cameras." Luo Jie flattered her in time.


    "You don''t need to tell me that." Sheng Liang put down his cell phone, glancing at him sideways, "Where is the thing I told you to investigate?"


    His face flipped up really quickly, Luo Jie secretly swallowed hard and quickly replied: I went to the duty room to look around, from the door to the floor in your office, this person did not manage to take any photos whatsoever, so he must be very familiar with the company''s route, thus he completely avoided the surveillance cameras. Your office''s camera was not broken, but the surveillance network was attacked, from the traces left behind, it was destroyed the day before yesterday.


    In other words, this person was not only familiar with the layout of the company, but could also be considered an insider within the company.


    Because the previous day, the company was in the middle of a new year''s meeting, and there were no outsiders present.


    Sheng Liang had clearly thought of this, but he did not express any objections, and only said indifferently: "I understand."


    "Do we have to continue?" There was a spy in the company, this was too scary just thinking about it.


    However, Sheng Liang said: "No need, I didn''t lose anything, maybe it was just a prank."


    A prank? But that person knocked Qiao Xuan out. According to the extent of Sheng Liang''s pampering, shouldn''t he find that person and beat him to death before lashing his corpse?


    Luo Jie thought he heard wrongly and looked at Sheng Liang with his gaping and agape eyes, but seeing that he didn''t have any other intentions, he continued, "Young Master Liang, there are only four more days until the new year. If there''s nothing else, I plan to bring Qing Qing back to my hometown."


    "There''s no need to go back." He took out a set of keys from the drawer and gave it to, "I bought a suite for you from outside the Northern Ring Road. Although it''s second-hand, the original owner had only lived here for two months, and the furnishings are new now. I will pay for the first time and return the loan to you.


    However, after too many things happened, he had forgotten about it. It was only yesterday that Qiao Xuan mentioned the relationship between him and Qing Qing that Sheng Liang remembered that time was too tight, he could only buy a ready-made house for him, and that he would be able to live in it with a bag.


    After hearing what Sheng Liang had to say, Luo Jie was already moved to the point where he could no longer bear it. There was a saying in the ancient times that a soldier would die for his own friend, and Luo Jie had been thinking this since the day he followed Sheng Liang.


    "Young Master Liang, I... I don''t know what to say anymore, thank you! " Luo Jie clasped his hands together in excitement.


    Sheng Liang looked at him and said: "Let me say this first, I didn''t buy this house for you, but rather, it''s my dowry for Qing Qing. I take her as my little sister, don''t let me know that you are bullying her."


    Luo Jie immediately said: "I definitely won''t, I don''t even have time to love her."


    She then asked with a fawning smile, "After the new year, I plan to marry her. Will you let her go?"


    Sheng Liang stood up, walked to the side of the room, and flipped through a book: "Before that happens, you''d better help me find someone who can replace her."


    Was he agreeing?


    Luo Jie was extremely happy, if this was in the past, it would definitely be impossible. He promptly replied: "No problem! "Then I''ll leave now."


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, showing his tacit agreement.


    Hearing the sound of Luo Jie closing the door, he closed the book, lowered his eyes and did not move for a long time.


    He was the only one left in the villa, and the silence was terrifying.


    However, Qiao Xuan''s house was bustling with noise and excitement. The New Year''s food was almost all prepared, and what was used for food was piled up everywhere.


    Qiao Nan was bored to death, he had already pasted flowers on the windows and hung Chinese knots all over the living room.


    At this time, Qiao Xuan was packing a red packet, with both his relatives and his neighbors'' children having one each.


    Qiao Nan rubbed his head and said: "Sis, you''re on the headlines again. Do you know how infuriated you are?


    Qiao¡¯s mother heard from the side, "A wonton can even be reported on the news, how can people these days be so free."


    The Qiao¡¯s father continued: "That depends on who eats it. Sheng Liang, it only exists in legends, once he goes, even that wonton shop will become popular."


    "I don''t think he''s a legend. He has to call me auntie the moment he sees me. He has to call me ''Auntie''." Then, he turned to look at Qiao Xuan, "Hua''er, tell Sheng Liang that if he''s fine on the second day of the new year, then let him go with us to visit some relatives. Let''s see if that cousin of yours still dares to praise her son-in-law, who works in the bank, in front of me."


    Qiao Xuan laughed, "He''s at a bank on Wall Street in the United States, he''s very powerful."


    "No matter how powerful he is, he can still compare to Sheng Liang!" The Qiao¡¯s mother was unconvinced.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything and only smiled. Of course they couldn''t compare, in her heart, no one could compare to Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Nan impatiently knocked on the table and said: "Are you done talking yet? The headline I''m talking about is not about wontons at all. I''m talking about the five million red packet! "


    Qiao Xuan stopped and looked up at Qiao Nan: "What did you say just now? Who told you to look at my phone, hurry up and delete it for me! "


    The matter of Sheng Liang sending her a big red packet was something only the two of them knew. It must have been because Qiao Nan had seen her phone and taken a photo and sent it online.


    Seeing that she was really angry, Qiao Nan turned and ran: "Delete, delete, I''ll delete it immediately! This is a good thing. Why are you so afraid of people knowing? "


    Qiao Xuan was about to chase after him, but hearing the doorbell ring, he said gloomily: "Don''t speak so much nonsense, hurry up and delete it for me!"


    As he said that, he walked over to open the door. When he saw that the person standing outside was Sheng Liang, he couldn''t help but be stunned: "Why are you here?"


    "Luo Jie took Qing Qing away, no one is going to cook for me." Sheng Liang''s voice was somewhat pitiful.


    Before Qiao Xuan could say anything, Qiao¡¯s mother who was behind him heard it and immediately came over and said: "Then come eat at our place. We have not thanked you for all the things you have given us."


    Qiao Xuan pulled Sheng Liang in and closed the door.


    Sheng Liang bowed towards the Qiao¡¯s mother, "Sorry to bother you."


    "If you don''t mind, I will take care of the meal with Sheng Liang." Qiao¡¯s mother laughed and said.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan bringing Sheng Liang to her room, Qiao Nan rubbed to Qiao¡¯s mother''s side and whispered: "Mom, what are you playing around with, how do you know Sheng Liang is not a fire pit."

 C190

    "The dog''s mouth can''t spit out the ivory, so move aside." Qiao¡¯s mother scolded and headed towards the kitchen.


    Qiao Nan was bored. He walked to Qiao¡¯s father and said: "Dad, women only have long hair and short knowledge. They don''t have any foresight, right dad?"


    Qiao¡¯s father raised her head and looked at him through the glasses: "You should worry more about yourself. I originally wanted to introduce that girl to you, but looking at your character, you really aren''t worthy of her."


    Qiao Nan sat opposite of Qiao¡¯s father and said fawningly: "Dad, why don''t you show me her picture first?"


    If he was ugly, he wouldn''t want to.


    Qiao¡¯s father took out his phone and muttered: "I really do have one."


    As he said that, he took out the photo for Qiao Nan to look at. Qiao Nan took a glance and was immediately attracted by it: "Little Fairy."


    "Beautiful, right? I went to look for her that day. She said that she''s going to visit her relatives at New Year''s Eve. She''ll come back home after the new year, you won''t be able to see her in time." Qiao¡¯s father put away his phone.


    Qiao Nan immediately said: "I can leave a few days later, but if we have a good chat, I''ll directly bring her to Yunnan. There, working isn''t a job at all, I definitely won''t treat her unfairly."


    The more Qiao Nan thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He ran to the side and laughed secretly, then suddenly thought of something. He did not knock on the door, and directly entered Qiao Xuan''s room: "Sis, give me your car as a New Year''s gift."


    Qiao Xuan was showing Sheng Liang pictures of her when she was young. Sheng Liang wrapped his arms around her neck and secretly kissed her from time to time.


    Qiao Nan suddenly opened the door and entered. Sheng Liang did not let go, but he was angry: "Qiao Nan, do you not know how to knock!"


    "I was wrong, I was wrong," Qiao Nan walked over, apologised repeatedly, and said while smiling, "Give me a car, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "Didn''t you want to go back to Yunnan? Why would you need a car?"


    "I''ve been driving the entire way, enjoying the scenery along the way." Qiao Nan laughed, and his words flickered.


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to refuse, Sheng Liang said: "Your sister''s car is a lady''s car, is it suitable for you to drive? If you like it, you can go to my garage and choose."


    Qiao Nan wanted to say that he didn''t need it. He was just saying bad things about him, but when he thought about driving a luxury car to Yunnan with Little Fairy, he suddenly felt that something like backbone might not exist.


    We agreed on a time for him to pick out his car." We agreed on a time for him to pick out his car.


    "You don''t have to be this kind of person. Once you get used to getting what you want, he won''t work hard on his own anymore." Furthermore, Sheng Liang had given her too many things recently, so she was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to pay him back.


    "Don''t you see, he didn''t want to go alone to see the scenery." Sheng Liang encircled Qiao Xuan in his arms once again.


    Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang''s seemingly pointing smile, and only then did he understand. "It''s possible that the girl my father mentioned has some hope."


    Sheng Liang was not interested in all this. He gave Qiao Xuan a kiss on the cheek and asked, "Luo Jie said that he is going to marry Qing Qing after the new year. In the future, I will be home alone.


    Qiao Xuan knew what he wanted to say and blushed. She purposely changed the topic: "Qing Qing has been at your house for a long time, it isn''t good for her to leave now."


    It was not just because he was not used to it, if it was anyone else, they would not be as sensible as Qing Qing. There was also no one who could make him trust them like he did with Qing Qing.


    "Qing Qing''s mother was once a maid in the Sheng Family. When I was young, she was very good to me. "Until that year when Luo Jie brought Qing Qing here. I could immediately recognize that she was the daughter of that maid, because they looked too similar, and Luo Jie''s investigation had also confirmed that point, so I had always treated her like my little sister."


    Qiao Xuan felt Sheng Liang''s emotions and grabbed his hand. "What about her mother, have you seen her afterwards?"


    Sheng Liang shook her head: "The year Qing Qing came out from his hometown, her mother had already passed away, so she actually didn''t know that I knew her mother.


    Maybe because he thought about the past, Sheng Liang''s mood was obviously a little low. Qiao Xuan comforted him: "Luo Jie is a good person, he will definitely take good care of him, her mother''s spirit in heaven can now be at ease."


    Sheng Liang held Qiao Xuan''s arm tighter, his cheek caressed her hair: "I still have some things to do, after I finish doing it, we''ll get married and have a bunch of children."


    Sheng Liang''s sudden mention of marriage made Qiao Xuan''s previously worried heart sink. She didn''t know what Sheng Liang was going to do, and she didn''t ask either, but she would definitely support him from behind.


    The lunch was very lively, and Sheng Liang had slowly started to blend in with them. Qiao Nan was worried about his car, so he acted very attentively like before.


    Qiao¡¯s mother was even more so, stuffing food into Sheng Liang''s bowl. He laughed and said, "Eat more, you''ve eaten so little, how can your body be nourished? In the future, just eat at my place.


    "Thank you Auntie." Sheng Liang laughed and also brought some food over to Qiao Xuan.


    Seeing them acting like this, the Qiao¡¯s mother smiled until he was like a flower. Seeing them coughing at the side, Qiao¡¯s mother even used his hand to pull at his arm.


    "What are you doing? If you''re not feeling well, then take your medicine." Qiao¡¯s mother glared at him.


    Qiao Nan, who was at the side, couldn''t hold back his laughter.


    After finishing dinner, Qiao¡¯s father found an opportunity to speak to Qiao¡¯s mother in a low voice: "I say, can you be a little more reserved? Look at your smile a moment ago, it''s as if you''re afraid that our daughter won''t be able to get married off."


    Qiao¡¯s mother looked outside and whispered: "I say, are you stupid? Can''t you see that Hua''er likes Sheng Liang a lot?


    Qiao¡¯s father choked, then did not speak anymore, and strolled out to find Sheng Liang to play chess.


    He knew how to build a good relationship with his future son-in-law.


    In Qiao Xuan''s impression, chess was always played by the old man, but he never thought that Sheng Liang really knew how to play it.


    Qiao Xuan did not know about chess, so she did not know that Qiao Nan had secretly told her about it.


    Hearing this, Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang with even more joy in his heart.


    After playing a few games in a row, Qiao Xuan could no longer bear to watch anymore. He found an excuse to pull Sheng Liang out of the car, and it just so happened that Luo Keke called her and asked them to go shopping together.


    Seeing Luo Keke carefully helping Sheng Yan choose his clothes, he knew how much she loved that man.


    Come to think of it, Qiao Xuan had never even given her a present before. She looked at a tie and asked Luo Keke: "Do you think this tie looks good?


    Luo Keke laughed: "Whatever you give him, he will like it."

 C191

    Qiao Xuan''s face slightly blushed, and then she chose a tie clip, allowing the clerk to wrap it up.


    Qiao Xuan had secretly paid the bill, she was afraid that Sheng Liang would help her pay the bill again.


    Sheng Liang and Sheng Yan were chatting on the sofa behind him, when he raised his head and saw Qiao Xuan, he immediately stopped, extended his hand and pulled her over, "You''ve finished reading already, why don''t you choose a few for your father and Qiao Nan?"


    "They''ve already bought it," Qiao Xuan said as he handed the bag over to him. "This is for you, consider it as a birthday present, let''s see if you like it or not."


    Sheng Liang was startled, seeing Qiao Xuan looking at him, he opened the bag and took a look, "As long as it''s a gift from you, I like it."


    Luo Keke could not hold back and laughed, and said to Qiao Xuan: "See, I knew A''Liang would say that."


    When Sheng Yan saw that Luo Keke was also buying his clothes, he couldn''t help but ask, "Why is it that you always buy it for me?


    Luo Keke held his arm and said: "My clothes are already forming a mountain. Let''s go, how about we go for coffee?" Luo Keke asked Qiao Xuan.


    The four of them walked out and bumped into Xu Yi. Xu Yi immediately greeted them: "Young Master Liang, Boss Qiao."


    "Xu Yi?" Qiao Xuan looked at him in shock, "Didn''t you go back home?"


    Xu Yi replied woodenly: "Not yet, I''ll be leaving in a while, so I came over to buy some things for my family."


    Sheng Liang took out a gold card and gave it to him: "Go home after buying it, help me greet your family."


    Xu Yi looked at him and nodded: "Thank you, Young Master Liang."


    After separating with Xu Yi, they walked out of the shopping mall and went to a coffee shop to have a coffee.


    They were sitting next to the window, and the glass was already pasted with pictures of the New Year. When Qiao Xuan inadvertently looked outside, she saw a man in a black hat looking at them from not too far away, and when she turned her gaze, that man had immediately walked away.


    Qiao Xuan was suddenly afraid, and unconsciously grabbed onto Sheng Liang''s arm.


    "What''s wrong?" Sheng Liang asked softly when he saw her pale face.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to look and only said softly, "Earlier, I saw someone watching us from the outside."


    Sheng Liang''s eyes darkened, he turned to look outside, but as people walked in, he could no longer see the person Qiao Xuan was talking about.


    However, this matter had definitely affected Qiao Xuan''s mood. Sheng Liang didn''t want her to force him, so he sent her home early.


    Qiao Xuan sat on the bedside, Sheng Liang poured her a cup of water and asked: "Are you feeling better now?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded. Honestly speaking, when she was on the road, her heart was still beating fast, and she felt a chill down her spine. Only after returning home did she feel much better.


    "Don''t go out for the next few days. If you need anything, just tell me. I''ll send it over to you." Sheng Liang ruffled her hair. Seeing that she was still in a state of shock, he could not help but feel his heart ache.


    "I know." Qiao Xuan held Sheng Liang''s hand and said, "You have to be careful, that person might be after you, and now that Luo Jie is not here, you have to be careful."


    "Yes." Sheng Liang gave her a comforting look, "I''ll be going back first, I''ll come back tomorrow."


    Qiao Xuan was reluctant, but he could only nod his head: "When you get home, give me a call."


    Sheng Liang promised as he stood up and walked out. When Qiao Xuan heard him say goodbye to his family, he closed the door and left.


    Fortunately, in the following few days, nothing had happened, and Sheng Liang still came to visit Qiao Xuan in the name of eating breakfast. The two of them were already so happy that they were almost unable to separate.


    They spent New Year''s Eve together, just like all the other families. They ate dinner, packed dumplings, and watched the Spring Festival Gala. When the clock struck twelve, they said "Happy New Year" to each other.


    They stood on the balcony and Sheng Liang hugged Qiao Xuan from behind as he muttered to him, "This is the first time I feel that I''m living such a real life. In the past, whether it was my birthday or the new year, I was the only one who lived."


    Birthday and Chinese New Year were festivals that ordinary people would have, but to Sheng Liang, it was just a noun. Thinking back to how he had been like this for so many years, Qiao Xuan felt his heart ache.


    "Don''t worry, I will be with you for every holiday in the future." Qiao Xuan grabbed his hand and said with certainty.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything, and only hugged her tighter.


    Qiao Xuan did not mention the matter of her relatives to Sheng Liang. She did not want Sheng Liang to be surrounded by a group of people who even asked all sorts of questions.


    Every day, she would hear all sorts of voices, and would not bother to call Sheng Liang. Only at night, when they would send messages to each other, but she was too tired and fell asleep after just a few words.


    So she didn''t know that Sheng Liang had a cold at home. If she didn''t want to give him a surprise and suddenly go to his villa, she wouldn''t have noticed it at all.


    When Qiao Xuan entered, the Commander was playing in the living room by himself. When he saw her, he ran over as soon as he heard her, acting like a child who hadn''t seen her mother for a long time, acting coquettishly on top of her.


    Sheng Liang heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs, but stopped at the end of the stairs: "Why are you here, you''re not busy?"


    Seeing that his face did not look good, and even coughed lightly when he spoke, Qiao Xuan immediately walked over: "Did you catch a cold? Why are you not telling me?"


    "It''s fine. Just some medicine will do." Sheng Liang dodged to the side a little, "Don''t get so close to me, it will spread to you."


    Qiao Xuan did not care about what he said. Standing in front of him, she reached out and touched his forehead: "There''s no fever, it should just be an ordinary cold. Have you eaten?"


    She frowned as she pulled Sheng Liang onto the sofa and laid him down. After covering him with a blanket, she turned and walked towards the kitchen: "I''ll go cook some porridge for you."


    When Qiao Xuan finished cooking the porridge, put it into the small bowl and took it out, he saw that Sheng Liang had actually fallen asleep.


    Qiao Xuan caressed his hair. Although she could not bear to do it, she woke him up, "The porridge is ready, please drink a little."


    Sheng Liang''s expression was somewhat haggard, he slowly sat up, but he did not receive the bowl that Qiao Xuan had passed to him: "Feed me."


    Qiao Xuan was startled and reacted. She scooped a spoonful and blew on it, feeling that it was not hot anymore, then she put it near his lips.


    "Not in this way." Sheng Liang looked at her, suddenly grabbed her waist and brought her into his embrace, asking softly, "Are you afraid of infection?"


    Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant, so he did not reply.


    Sheng Liang said: "Then let''s share the hardships."


    After not seeing Qiao Xuan for a few days, he had endured too much. Now that she was in front of him, he had no way to control his thoughts towards her.


    He drank the congee that Qiao Xuan had fed him, then kissed her and slowly slid the congee in his mouth into hers. He also pressed the tip of his tongue against her teeth, forcing her to swallow.

 C192

    The fragrance of the porridge filled the air between the two of their lips, causing Qiao Xuan to faint from his sudden kiss, his face turning red all the way down to his neck.


    Sheng Liang released her, his quiet and enchanting voice saying, "Feed it to me like this."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to refuse. This was too embarrassing, but when she saw Sheng Liang''s pitiful look, her heart softened.


    After feeding him a bowl of congee with just a spoonful, Qiao Xuan felt that he probably did not eat much, because when he kissed her, she would always accidentally swallow it.


    Sheng Liang looked at her red and swollen lips that were being kissed by him, which was as alluring as a cherry. She really wanted to continue kissing him, but was afraid that he would really infect her, so he gave up on this idea.


    Just in case something happened, Sheng Liang still let Qiao Xuan take the medicine with him.


    "Don''t be here, go back to your room and sleep." Qiao Xuan caressed his face and said.


    Sheng Liang held her hand: "Then watch me sleep, you can leave after I fall asleep."


    "I''m not leaving." How could she not worry and leave when he was like this?


    Qiao Xuan helped him up the stairs. Halfway up, Sheng Liang''s phone rang and Qiao Xuan took it out for him. Seeing that it was Luo Keke calling, Sheng Liang asked her to pick it up.


    Only, before Qiao Xuan could say anything, he heard Luo Keke''s frantic voice. "A Liang, quickly come over. Someone is trying to kill Maureen! "


    Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang were startled, coming back to their senses, Sheng Liang immediately took the phone from Qiao Xuan''s hands and asked: "Where are you guys, who wants to kill him?"


    Although Qiao Xuan already knew that Mo Lin was Sheng Yan, when Luo Keke met Sheng Yan, his identity was already Mo Lin, so Luo Keke was used to calling him that.


    "I don''t know. That person is wearing a hat and mask, I can''t see his face," Luo Keke said anxiously. "In Mo Lin''s home, the door is locked from the inside, I can''t open it, so come quickly!"


    Sheng Liang immediately hung up, turned around and walked down the stairs, while quickly saying to Qiao Xuan: "Call Qiao Nan, get him to come and pick you up."


    Seeing that he had already walked to the profound entrance and put on his jacket, Qiao Xuan immediately ran over and pulled him back: "I''ll go with you."


    Seeing that he was going to stop him, Qiao Xuan immediately said: "I''m worried about you, I will guarantee my safety, okay?"


    Knowing that he couldn''t force her, Sheng Liang helped her put on her clothes and dragged her out.


    The car drove very quickly, and even though Sheng Liang had covered it up well, Qiao Xuan could still see how nervous he was right now.


    Soon enough, they arrived at Sheng Yan''s current residence. Sheng Liang stopped the car, and Qiao Xuan quickly followed him inside.


    The door was open, and it should have been opened especially for Luo Keke to let them in. The moment they entered the room, they heard the sound of Luo Keke crying and smashing the door from upstairs.


    Intense sounds of fighting could be heard in the room, as well as the occasional sound of things falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.


    Sheng Liang took a big step forward, and saw that''s hands were covered in blood, but she still didn''t stop her actions even though she didn''t notice it.


    As Sheng Liang walked over, he took off his jacket and stretched out his hand to pull Luo Keke apart. He said to Qiao Xuan: "Take her down below."


    Qiao Xuan supported Luo Keke and felt that her body was weak, as though she would fall to the ground at any moment.


    Sheng Liang''s shoulder heavily struck the door. He had just taken a medicine and now that the medicinal strength had come, coupled with his anxious movements from before, he was drenched in sweat. His originally drowsy head was now much clearer and his body felt much more relaxed.


    Luo Keke refused to leave no matter what, so he could only try his best to hug her and not let her go forward.


    When the door finally burst open, they saw that the interior was in a mess. Two people were fighting each other.


    Qiao Xuan saw another figure that was not Sheng Yan, and suddenly shouted: "It''s him, the person who was watching us outside the coffee shop!"


    So his target was Magnificent Flame!


    Sheng Liang was standing at the door, and upon hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, his expression sank a little. Looking at the figure, he said: "Xu Yi, why are you here?"


    Xu Yi?


    Qiao Xuan was stunned, she looked again. Although he was dressed in black, with a hat and mask covering his face, but that person''s figure was really similar to Xu Yi!


    The two men inside stopped. It seemed that Sheng Yan was injured. One of his arms seemed to be unable to lift up. The clothes on his back had also been cut by a knife, oozing out thick blood.


    Sheng Liang walked over and looked at Xu Yi: "The last time you went to my office, the person who injured Qiao Xuan was also you, right? Later on, we met each other in the shopping mall, you found Mo Lin and recognized him as Sheng Yan. To confirm it, you even went to the coffee shop with us and watched over us from the outside. Speak, who told you to come? "


    After his identity was recognized, Xu Yi took off his hat and mask. His face did not have an extremely vicious expression, but it was still calm and dull as usual.


    He looked outside at Qiao Xuan and said: "I didn''t mean to hurt Boss Qiao, I didn''t expect her to suddenly appear, I''m sorry."


    From Qiao Xuan to the Everlasting Stone, Xu Yi had always been by her side. No matter whether it was within or outside of work, he had always been doing very well.


    Furthermore, Qiao Xuan knew that since Sheng Liang could arrange him to be by her side, he definitely trusted him a lot.


    Seeing Luo Keke struggle free and run towards Sheng Yan, Xu Yi suddenly walked forward a few steps, looked at Sheng Liang and said: "Don''t come over, this is between him and me!"


    "Who told you to do this?" Sheng Liang''s eyes darkened, revealing a bone chilling coldness.


    Xu Yi, however, did not answer, and only said: "Today, I must kill him."


    Just as he finished his sentence, when no one was paying attention, Sheng Yan picked up a piece of glass from the ground and pierced it ruthlessly into the center of Xu Yi''s back.


    "Xu Yi!" Qiao Xuan screamed in shock, seeing the blood on his body immediately spurt out, he covered his mouth in shock.


    Sheng Liang was also startled, and did not know what to do for a moment. Just as he was about to pull Xu Yi away, he heard Sheng Yan say, "A Liang, don''t be tricked by him. He''s a person from the Xilin Family, he''s here to take revenge for Sheng Hua!"


    Xilin Family...


    Sheng Liang''s fingers suddenly stopped, were the people that should appear one by one?


    Just as Sheng Liang was in a daze, Xu Yi suddenly stood up, grabbed Sheng Yan and dragged him towards the window.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang had regained his senses and was rushing forward to grab them, Xu Yi tried to block Sheng Liang from doing so again and again. The only thing Sheng Liang could do was try to pull Sheng Yan out from Xu Yi''s hands.


    The window had been opened, and the white curtains were fluttering high in the cold wind. There were a few cactus plants on the windowsill, which were a bit eye-catching.


    As for the faces of the three of them, they kept swaying in front of Qiao Xuan''s eyes. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, thinking of something she had forgotten.

 C193

    Qiao Xuan suddenly ran over and hugged Sheng Liang from the back, pulling him back with all his might.


    In that instant, Xu Yi used all his might to push Sheng Yan down, because his hand was grabbed, and he no longer had the strength to hold on to the windowsill, causing Xu Yi to fall down as well!


    Luo Keke shouted loudly, and as if he had gone mad, he ran down the stairs.


    Sheng Liang regained his senses and immediately looked down from the window. He saw that Sheng Yan''s body had landed in the flower bed behind the house, the frozen fence had penetrated his body, and fresh red blood dyed the snow red.


    Maybe because he had a cold, his thinking today was always a little slow. Looking at Luo Keke who was down on Sheng Yan, crying his heart out, his face was also pale white.


    "Just now, you ¡­ "What are you doing?" It was not to interrogate Qiao Xuan, he just did not understand why Qiao Xuan would suddenly do that. If he did not let go, Sheng Yan would not have fallen.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to explain it to him. She suddenly thought back to the time, she had indeed met Shengyan in her previous life, but that event was on the news.


    In a villa, there seemed to be some kind of fight. Two people had fallen on the snow outside the villa, one dead and one injured.


    At that time, she naturally did not know that Mo Lin was Sheng Yan. She had noticed the news and Sheng Hua had even showed it to her.


    Because at that time, the one who died was Sheng Yan, and the one who was heavily injured was Sheng Liang.


    She was afraid that the situation would repeat itself again like in her previous life, which was why she had to use all her strength to pull Sheng Liang away from her.


    However, she had no way to explain this to Sheng Liang, as no one would believe it.


    Therefore, she could only choose to remain silent. Fortunately, Sheng Liang did not pursue the matter any further.


    Sheng Yan was dead and Xu Yi was missing, while the rest of them who were left at the scene were naturally interrogated by the police.


    Especially since Sheng Liang''s body was stained with so much blood.


    When Xiao Feng saw that it was them again, he gave them a strange look for a long time.


    This incident itself revealed too many strange things. They had no way to explain Sheng Yan''s identity, Sheng Liang didn''t say anything, but Xiao Feng refused to let him go.


    Although Qiao Xuan calmly told Xiao Feng about what happened at the scene, because there were some details that could not be revealed, there were always areas where her words were illogical and Xiao Feng did not believe them at all.


    A person with an unknown identity had died, and other than Sheng Liang, there were no other suspects. Furthermore, this suspect had yet to speak up, so thinking about how the suspense case from before was also inextricably linked to Sheng Liang, Xiao Feng was determined to waste all of his time with Sheng Liang.


    When Luo Jie heard about this, he quickly rushed over and even brought Sheng Liang''s lawyer along. However, the police clearly stated that they were not allowed to be bailed out.


    "They don''t have any evidence. They can only hold them for 24 hours at most. When the time comes, we can get them to release them." The lawyer said to Qiao Xuan and Luo Jie.


    Now, they seemed to have no other choice but to wait.


    "Miss Qiao, I''ll send you home first." Luo Jie looked at Qiao Xuan''s exhausted body and mind, and said softly.


    Qiao Xuan did not object. All along the way, she did not say anything, she only leaned on the window as she thought about all sorts of things.


    The car stopped in front of the entrance to their community. When they got off, she said to Luo Jie: "If possible, please help me find Xu Yi. Right now, only he can prove Sheng Liang''s innocence."


    Also, Xu Yi was injured, he wouldn''t run far.


    Luo Jie nodded: "I know."


    Before going back home, Qiao Xuan deliberately adjusted his emotions and tidied up his clothes to make sure that there were no traces of it being exposed, then opened the door and went in.


    She walked to the hallway, changed her shoes, and said, "I''m back."


    She walked in and saw Qiao Nan sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing with a girl.


    She knew that it was the girl her father had told her about. Her parents must have gone out and created a chance for them to be alone.


    Qiao Xuan turned around, and also planned to go out for a walk. Just as he turned his head, he heard Qiao Nan calling out: "Sis, you''re back, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, this is my sister."


    Hearing the name Xiao Luo, Qiao Xuan''s entire body froze. She slowly turned her head and saw that the person standing beside Qiao Nan was indeed Qi Luo.


    "Hello, nice to meet you." Qi Luo smiled sweetly.


    Qiao Xuan had forgotten that her family had never seen Qi Luo before, and did not know what was going on between them. It was obvious that Qi Luo was trying to get close to her family on purpose, and now he was still pretending not to know her.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what intentions she had and he didn''t want to embarrass Qiao Nan, so he didn''t expose her. Instead, he said to Qiao Nan, "There''s a fruit in the fridge, go wash and cut it for me."


    Qiao Nan did not notice Qiao Xuan''s abnormality, he smiled and said: "You have to think carefully, Xiao Luo, sit first and chat with my sister, I will be there shortly."


    Watching as Qiao Nan entered the kitchen, Qiao Xuan walked in front of Qi Luo and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, stay away from my family."


    "Why are you so nervous? It''s not like I''m going to eat them. Rather, I''m going to treat them very well, like my family." Qi Luo did not look at Qiao Xuan, and sat down on the sofa once again.


    "Qi Luo!"


    "Don''t call me by my name, you are not worthy!" Qi Luo interrupted him and smiled at her, "Are you very afraid now, afraid of losing them? Do you know how I feel every day since you appeared?"


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "The matter between you and Sheng Liang had nothing to do with me. You pushed him away yourself."


    If she hadn''t left three years ago, and had still been by Sheng Liang''s side all this time, she wouldn''t have needed to walk this far.


    You were clearly the one who seduced him, on one side was Sheng Hua''s fiancee and on the other side was Sheng Liang. There was also Sheng Qian who was dead set on you, you wanted to control Golden Age all by yourself, so now you can be considered to have gotten your wish. Qi Luo sneered, his eyes full of venom.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to argue with her, "If you want to think like this, feel free to do so, but I hope that you can immediately leave my house and never come close to my father and Xiao Nan ever again!"


    "Alright, I don''t need it anyway." Qi Luo looked at Qiao Xuan arrogantly, "As long as you tell Sheng Liang that you have some ulterior motive for staying with him and promise that you will never appear in front of him again, I will promise to stay far away from your family. How about it, is this simple?"

 C194

    Qiao Xuan clenched his fingers, gritted his teeth, and said: "Sheng Liang won''t believe it!"


    Qi Luo looked up at her, his clear eyes full of calculation: "That will depend on what method you use, Sheng Liang is still in the police station, only I can save him, you just need to do as I say, your family and he will be fine."


    "Xu Yi was sent by you?" Qiao Xuan asked in surprise. So he set up such a big trap to threaten her?


    Qi Luo said impatiently: "I do not know the person you are talking about, I am only asking if you agree or not!"


    Qiao Xuan was stuck in a dilemma, she did not want to be threatened by Qi Luo to do something against her will, but even if she could explain to her family Qi Luo''s character, and tell them not to fall for her trap, what about Sheng Liang?


    She was very clear about Qi Luo''s background. She didn''t even need her father to say anything, as long as Qi Chu said anything, Sheng Liang''s crime would be proven.


    "I need to think about it." She needed some time to figure out what had happened. If possible, it would be best if she could meet with Sheng Liang.


    Qi Luo coldly snorted. "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking, I can give you time to think about it, but I have to remind you, I can let Sheng Liang safely exit the police station, and I can let him enter again. There is no such thing as tragedy of love in this world, only tragedy caused by love.


    Qiao Xuan looked at her in shock. It turned out that the last time she sent her the Hibiscus Mutabilis, she had always been around her surroundings, spying on her life.


    "Sis, what are you talking to Little Luo about? Look at how fierce you are, you''ll scare her." Qiao Nan came out from the kitchen with a plate of fruits. Seeing Qiao Xuan''s gloomy face, he said unhappily.


    Qi Luo said softly, "No, Sister Qiao Xuan is just telling me a story, a terrifying story."


    "What''s the difference? Isn''t this just trying to scare you?" Qiao Nan comforted her. "Don''t be scared, I''m here."


    "Yes." In front of Qiao Nan, Qi Luo was like a frail little girl.


    Qiao Xuan turned around and walked out. She had to see Sheng Liang first, maybe he had a way to come out by himself.


    And what about Luo Jie? If he found Xu Yi, then Xu Yi would probably be ordered by someone, and his target would be Sheng Yan. He didn''t seem to want to implicate innocent people, if not she wouldn''t just be knocked out that day.


    Qiao Xuan quickly walked out of the door, and then hurriedly entered the elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close, it automatically opened again.


    Qi Luo stood in front of her and pressed a button. The elevator door closed and he said with his back facing Qiao Xuan: "Don''t you love Sheng Liang a lot, don''t you think you can do anything for him? But now, only you can help him.


    Since he was seen through by her, Qiao Xuan no longer hid anything: "I know Sheng Liang, he wouldn''t let me do such a thing, if he knew the truth, he would definitely hate me."


    Qi Luo laughed disdainfully, "How long have you known him for? I have been together with him for so many years, but he still left because of you, do you really think men have that much love? If he really loves you, why don''t he marry you? Even if it''s an engagement, he wouldn''t give you a name."


    "There''s no need for you to provoke him. I believe in him. He has his own plans." Qiao Xuan said confidently. She was inexplicably afraid that she would be convinced by Qi Luo.


    Qi Luo gave a cold snort, "So what if you two love each other? You''re simply not willing to give up on behalf of him. Do you know what he''s going through right now? During the twenty-four hours he''s in custody, the police will interrogate him constantly to get him to talk. They won''t give him any rest time. He seems to still be sick. In that kind of environment, enduring both mental and physical torture, how long do you think he can hold on for? It''s obvious that as long as you nod your head, I can save him, but you are unwilling to help him because of your own selfishness. Do you really love him? "


    Every one of Qi Luo''s words was like a hammer, hitting on Qiao Xuan''s last will time and time again. She tried her best to not be affected by it, but the result was that she was shaking a little.


    She didn''t care about Qi Luo saying that she did not love Sheng Liang enough, her feelings towards him had never needed others to be evaluated, but when she thought about how Sheng Liang would be imprisoned in that place, maybe he would be intimidated, threatened, and even tortured to force a confession, causing her heart to be thrown into disorder.


    "Sheng Liang was mine in the first place, you were the one who took him away from me, and now I''m just taking him back. Isn''t this just natural?" Qi Luo turned around and looked at her. The sharpness in her eyes made Qiao Xuan''s heart tremble uncontrollably.


    The elevator door opened with a ding, but Qi Luo did not move, staring straight into Qiao Xuan''s eyes.


    Qiao Xuan swallowed with much difficulty, his lips moved slightly: "Alright, I promise you."


    Just like Luo Keke had said, it was true love. No matter how much time passed, they would still be together in the end.


    Qi Luo''s expression finally eased up, and the corner of her lips slowly formed into a smile. "You will realize in the future, this is the most correct choice you have made."


    Qiao Xuan lowered her head in a daze, like a soulless puppet. Watching Qi Luo walk out, she followed behind her mechanically.


    Qi Luo did have a way, Qiao Xuan had finally met Sheng Liang this time, and his mental state was as terrible as expected. However, his clothes were very neat, and he had obviously just tidied it up when he came out earlier, so he didn''t want to worry her, right?


    "Why are you here? Didn''t Luo Jie tell you? They don''t have any evidence, so I''ll be out soon." Although Sheng Liang was a little unhappy, his tone was full of love and comfort.


    When Qiao Xuan heard his words, she felt a sour feeling in her heart, but she endured her tears and pretended to be indifferent, "Whether you can come out is already not my problem. Sheng Liang, I''m here to tell you that it''s time to end this, I don''t want to live a life that''s filled with anxiety all day long. I just want to live a peaceful life, and I just want to be safe with my family every day, not because of you.


    "Qiao Xuan..." Sheng Liang originally wanted to hold her hand, but after hearing her words, he slowly pulled his hand back. His lips muttered, but in the end he only said one sentence, "I understand, I respect your decision."


    When Qiao Xuan came here, he had thought about many things. He had never thought that Sheng Liang would agree so easily, because during his most difficult times, when he needed her the most, she had actually chosen to give up on him.


    Qiao Xuan saw that he did not say a word more, stood up and turned around to return. Her fingers tightly gripped her palm, even if her nails dug into her flesh, she did not feel any pain.

 C195

    In the end, Sheng Liang did not turn around to look at her. As she watched his back disappear into the reception room, Qiao Xuan squatted down and bit the back of her hand, causing a bloody smell to instantly spread between her teeth. The back of her hand was badly mutilated, but she did not feel any pain.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even know how she managed to return to her home. When they were almost home, Qi Luo sent her a photo, which showed Sheng Liang and Qi Luo walking out of the police station. Qiao Xuan smiled, and then, his face instantly filled with tears.


    The company started working, but Qiao Xuan never went to work. Furthermore, Sheng Liang did not come to his house for a few days, so naturally, the Qiao Family members could guess what happened. Qiao Nan said angrily: "I already said, he is a scammer!"


    Qiao¡¯s mother sighed from the side, but he didn''t know what to say.


    Qiao Xuan forced out a smile and said: "This time, it''s not his fault. I was the one who wanted to break up with him."


    Qiao Nan looked at her in shock. "Why, could it be that the news online is true?


    "Don''t speak nonsense," Qiao Xuan stopped him from speaking further. "Those things have nothing to do with him."


    Qiao Nan was a little confused. He had said that he was going to part ways with her, but he was actually protecting her. Her heart was really unfathomable, just like that little Luo who suddenly disappeared.


    Qiao Nan carried this regret and returned to Yunnan. He said that he didn''t want to have a girlfriend for a few years anymore.


    That day was Sheng Yan''s funeral, so Qiao Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally going. Although she would very likely meet Sheng Liang, she just wanted to go and see Luo Keke.


    Luo Keke loved Sheng Yan so much, but now that Sheng Yan was dead, she didn''t know how sad she was.


    Qiao Xuan was dressed in black with a small white flower on her chest. By the time she arrived, the funeral had already started, and she was standing behind the crowd, bowing towards the tombstone together with them.


    As the host was reciting the eulogy, Qiao Xuan''s gaze swept through the crowd and saw Luo Keke standing at the very front. Her figure looked even more slender, as if a gust of wind could knock her down.


    Qiao Xuan could only see the side of her face and overly white face. Although there was sorrow on her face, it was not so despair as she knew Luo Keke was also a strong woman.


    She shifted her gaze and saw Sheng Liang in the first row. Beside him was Qi Luo with a face that seemed to be as small as a bird and as soft as a human.


    Qiao Xuan''s gaze returned to Sheng Liang, and looked at him for a long time. Even if it was just his back figure, it was already enough to make her heart beat wildly.


    After the funeral, everyone left, leaving only Luo Keke standing there like a statue.


    Sheng Liang walked over and said something to her, then turned around. Very naturally, Qi Luo took his arm.


    Sheng Liang lifted his head and saw Qiao Xuan still standing at his original position.


    Qi Luo also saw Qiao Xuan. Her expression changed as she said to Sheng Liang: "Let''s go back. My dad is still waiting for you to discuss the matter of marriage."


    Sheng Liang looked at her, then glanced at Qiao Xuan. Without saying a word, he and Qi Luo left.


    laughed at himself. The reason Sheng Liang had been unwilling to tell her about the marriage earlier was actually because the person he wanted to marry was not her.


    She did not regret her decision a few days ago. At least, she let Sheng Liang clearly understand his heart.


    Qiao Xuan took a few steps forward, stood behind Luo Keke, and said in a shallow voice, "Keke, please do your best."


    When Luo Keke heard her voice, he slowly turned his head, with a cold expression on his face that she had never seen before: "What are you doing here, have you forgotten that you''re the one who indirectly caused his death?"


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she never thought that Luo Keke would actually hate her. In that situation, she was only concerned with saving Sheng Liang and did not think too much about it.


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t do it on purpose ¡­" Qiao Xuan still apologized.


    Luo Keke laughed coldly: "What''s the use of you apologizing now, he won''t be able to live any longer. I know that you don''t have to take responsibility, but I will never forgive you."


    After Luo Keke finished speaking, he walked over to the front, leaving Qiao Xuan alone there.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the black and white photo of Sheng Yan on the tombstone. Even she was unable to believe that what had happened that day was real.


    The winter sunlight was still dim, but it stung Qiao Xuan''s eyes.


    She turned slowly and walked over to her car. In the distance, she saw someone standing there, as if waiting for her.


    It was Luo Jie.


    "Miss Qiao," Luo Jie nodded politely towards her.


    "What''s the matter?" Qiao Xuan seemed to have sensed something in his heart, but still waited for him to say it.


    "About that," Luo Jie said, after pausing for a moment in slight difficulty. "Young Master Liang said that you don''t need to go to work, you should rest at home for a while."


    He must have added the last sentence himself.


    Qiao Xuan had already expected this to happen, so he was not surprised at all. He replied lightly: "I understand."


    "Miss Qiao ¡­" Luo Jie saw Qiao Xuan open the car door, and unconsciously called out to her, as if wanting to say something.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head to look at him and said, "Let him be at ease. I will return everything related to him."


    "That''s not what I meant," Luo Jie hurriedly explained, but Qiao Xuan had already gotten in the car and closed the door.


    Luo Jie could only sigh from behind.


    Qiao Xuan spent the entire first month in a muddled state. He did not find a job, nor did he go out.


    Seeing her like this, the Qiao family''s parents didn''t dare to say anything to her. They would only ask occasionally, "What are your plans?"


    Wearing his pajamas and holding onto a novel, Qiao Xuan replied without raising his head, "I don''t want to go to work anymore."


    The Qiao¡¯s father saw this and could not help but say, "Isn''t it just a loss of love?


    The Qiao¡¯s mother immediately pushed him out of the room and closed the door. He carefully asked Qiao Xuan: "Then, do you plan to continue like this forever?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "No, I want to start my own business, but I don''t know what to do."


    "So it''s like that," the Qiao¡¯s mother said. "This matter really cannot be rushed.


    Qiao Xuan was quiet for a moment, then got down from the bed and said to the Qiao¡¯s mother: "I''m going to the library, don''t wait for me to eat lunch."


    Being willing to go out was a good thing. Qiao¡¯s mother immediately said: "Alright, be careful on the road."


    Qiao Xuan changed into a new set of clothes and left the house. She did not drive the car, but walked to the subway station.


    When they arrived at the library, Qiao Xuan borrowed a book and sat down on a seat. He wore earphones and quietly read a book, when the girl beside him suddenly pushed her. She took off her earphones and heard the girl whisper: "That person over there, he has been reading for a long time, do you know him?"

 C196

    Qiao Xuan turned his head and saw that not far behind her, there was a person smiling and waving at her.


    It was Sheng Qian.


    The two of them went to the same restaurant. As usual, Sheng Qian helped her order a meal, grabbed a tissue and asked while smiling: "Do you miss me?"


    He was darker and skinnier than before, even his style of dressing was different from before. Dressed in jeans and camel s clothing, he looked like a college student who had just graduated. Qiao Xuan could not imagine what he had experienced during this period.


    Instead of answering his question, she asked, "When did you come back?"


    "Two days ago." Sheng Qian''s face and eyes, when he smiled, were still filled with charms.


    "Is it bitter there?" Qiao Xuan lowered his head and stirred his coffee.


    "Not bad, it''s just a little cold." Sheng Qian said indifferently, and then showed her his phone.


    Qiao Xuan took it and saw that there were many of his photos on it. He was wearing a thick suit and was riding on a yak as he followed the locals through the endless snow. And he went on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, bowing three times, reverently holding the scripture in his hand and chanting around the Potala Palace.


    While Qiao Xuan was looking at it, Sheng Qian reached out his hand and handed over a scripture to her: "This is for you."


    Qiao Xuan looked at him with a face full of sincerity, to the point that he couldn''t even say a word of rejection. Just like when he went to Europe, he wanted to retrace the route she took.


    After Qiao Xuan returned home, he opened the Scroll of Transposition and took out a piece of paper. On it was a poem:


    That day, close your eyes in the mist of the shop, suddenly hear the verses of your chanting mantra


    That month, I shook all the trolleys, not for excess, just to touch your fingertips


    That year, kowtowing long prostrate on the mountain road, not for audience, just to stick close to your warmth


    "In that life, turning the mountains and rivers to the pagodas, ah, not for the rebirth, but for meeting you on the way"


    Qiao Xuan closed his eyes as tears fell from the corners of his eyes.


    The trees in the early spring began to sprout, and the ice on the surface of the river slowly melted away. Sheng Liang''s name once again appeared on the front pages of various websites.


    When Qiao¡¯s father saw their pictures, he was so shocked that he started stuttering, "Isn''t she... That... Little Luo? "


    Their gazes then gathered on Qiao Xuan, but they saw that she was still carefully pruning the flowers, as if the two people in the news had nothing to do with her.


    Even if she still cared about him, what could she do about it? It was her choice, and seeing that he was doing well, she felt that it was worth it.


    Recently, a few leading companies had started to call her. They must have seen the news and knew that she could no longer work at Sheng Liang''s company, so they set their eyes on her.


    However, the company they recommended had mediocre talent, so she was not interested.


    Another headhunter called her that day, and since she had nothing to do, she went to meet with this person. He said that he had a good company that asked her to be its vice president.


    "What company? Do you have any information on them?" From the other party''s confident smile, Qiao Xuan guessed that it would be different from the other companies.


    The person laughed, then said lightly: "There''s no need for any information, Miss Qiao should have also heard of it, and that''s Lan Xi International."


    Lan Xi International, Qiao Xuan naturally knew that it was a subsidiary of the Xilin Family of the north, and was one of the top five hundred enterprises in the entire world.


    As for Xilin Family, they were the descendants of a full Qing Dynasty, and were once part of the imperial family. Even now, they still have a very deep background, and in the entire northern region, they are an existence that no one can shake.


    They wanted her to be their vice president?


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.


    "I''ll think about it." Before he left, Qiao Xuan said.


    Actually, there was nothing to consider. With the power in Xilin Family, if they really set their eyes on her, they would do everything they could to make her submit.


    Qiao Xuan did not go straight home, but first went to the library. Before she even finished reading the last book, she borrowed another piece of paper and continued to read, when she flipped open the paper, it said that if fate did not allow it, I am willing to become your Knight and protect you forever.


    Qiao Xuan recognized the handwriting, it was Sheng Qian''s.


    He had borrowed the same book as her, so he probably thought she wouldn''t read any more, which was why he had written this sentence.


    No matter how sluggish Qiao Xuan''s feelings were, she still understood Sheng Qian''s intentions. After such a long period of time, she and Sheng Liang were well-matched, yet Sheng Qian had never given up on her.


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally giving Sheng Qian a call. "The weather forecast says that it will be a sunny day tomorrow, so I want to go to the outskirts to draw my life. Accompany me."


    Sheng Qian was startled, then immediately became happy: "Of course it''s good, I''ll come and pick you up tomorrow!"


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan hung up and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Let''s do it like this. This kind of feeling was also pretty good. Rumbling love was something people yearned for, but ordinary life was life. One couldn''t have both the fish and the bear''s paw. Since he had made his choice, he wouldn''t regret it.


    Qiao Xuan came out of the library and looked up at the blue sky as if he was looking at a blue mirror, clean and transparent.


    Just as she was about to go down the stairs, she heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw that it was Luo Jie.


    After the funeral, she no longer had anything to do with them, so she didn''t know why Luo Jie had come to find her again.


    Seeing that she did not move, Luo Jie walked forward, looked around and said softly: "Miss Qiao, I have something to say to you, can you change to a different location?"


    "I still want to go home. If you have something to say, you can say it here." Qiao Xuan was expressionless, and did not look at him again.


    Luo Jie could only say: "Young Master Liang told me to tell you not to go to Lan Xi International."


    They were well-informed, she had just met the headhunter company''s people, Sheng Liang knew about it so quickly.


    Qiao Xuan said to Luo Jie in a cold voice: "It''s my freedom to go wherever I want, I don''t need your Young Master Liang to worry about me. I''m already a married woman, it''s not good to care about other women''s matters."


    Luo Jie was rendered speechless by her. He could only watch as she left and try to call for her to stop, but he knew that it was useless. Even if Qiao Xuan became more stubborn, he wouldn''t be able to pull her back no matter how hard he tried.


    Although Qiao Xuan was furious at the time, she still calmed down. She seriously thought about the reason why Sheng Liang would stop her, but she thought of many possibilities, and none of them seemed reasonable.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan was in the living room watching TV with her parents. Hearing the doorbell ring, she walked over to open the door, and was stunned when she saw the person outside.


    It was actually Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan reacted and immediately wanted to close the door, but Sheng Liang''s hand was still at the side of the door. She suddenly closed it, and immediately held his hand tightly, but he still did not let go.

 C197

    Qiao Xuan was shocked, he immediately opened the door, his eyes red, he roared: "What are you doing, I don''t want to see you, leave now!"


    Qiao Xuan''s shout attracted her parents''s attention. Sheng Liang looked at them, grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hands and said: "Uncle, Auntie, I''m sorry, I want to say a few words to her."


    Sheng Liang said. No matter how Qiao Xuan struggled, he still pulled her out to the corner of the stairs and pressed her against the wall.


    At first, Qiao Xuan thought that she really didn''t care anymore, but when she saw him standing in front of her just now, she actually still couldn''t control her emotions, and angrily said: "Why are you still looking for me, don''t tell me that I didn''t explain it clearly enough? I already broke up with you, I already gave up on you, are you going to ¡­"


    Qiao Xuan was unable to continue, because Sheng Liang had already used his kiss to stop all of her words.


    His kiss was ice-cold, long and deep. Qiao Xuan had still been beating him up at the start, but she had gradually softened into his embrace, losing all her movements and only managed to cater to his kiss.


    Seeing that she had calmed down, Sheng Liang released her. Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, he said in a shallow voice: "I don''t have much time to talk. Listen to me, don''t go to Lan Xi International."


    "Why should I listen to you? You''re going to marry someone else." Qiao Xuan turned his face to the side, feeling that something was amiss with his words.


    Sheng Liang pinched her chin and turned her face back. "If you were jealous, I would be happy, and who said that they would end it with me, hmm?"


    Qiao Xuan did not speak either. Actually, from the moment he appeared at the door, she had already thought that he might have been planning something, and had told him that they were going to split up. With his intelligence, he must have already known what was going on, which was why he decided to go with the plan.


    Thinking of this, the depression that had been building up in his heart for such a long time seemed to have been cleared away in an instant, and he felt completely refreshed.


    "So you know, it was Qi Luo who threatened me, right?" Qiao Xuan''s tone softened.


    Sheng Liang scratched her nose: "Otherwise, do you think I would be so stupid as to believe you just by saying that it''s the end?"


    Qiao Xuan secretly laughed, but he still spoke in an exasperated tone: "You sure are patient. You haven''t told me for so long, aren''t you afraid that I''ll change my feelings?"


    "Afraid," Sheng Liang said pitifully as he hugged her. "It''s because I knew that you had an appointment with Sheng Qian tomorrow that I came to see you in such a hurry, and not only was I scolded by you, my hand was also caught."


    Only then did Qiao Xuan remember. She immediately let go of him and grabbed his hand to look, only to see that his fingers were swollen, she said painfully: "Who told you not to hide, who the hell are you? What should I do, it''s all swollen! Come to my house, I''ll apply medicine for you."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was about to leave, Sheng Liang grabbed her and said, "I''m not going in, I still can''t let too many people know that we''re acting. After a while, I will apologize to your parents."


    Looking at his somewhat thin face, Qiao Xuan asked softly, "What you''re doing, is not very dangerous at all. You have to protect yourself well, and if there''s anything you need me to do, you have to tell me. No matter what, I''ll definitely help you."


    Sheng Liang leaned against the wall, reached out his hand, and pulled her into his embrace again. One hand wrapped around her waist while the other grabbed onto her chin.


    This time, the kiss didn''t last long. Sheng Liang parted his lips, looked at her for a while, pinched her palm, and said softly: "I''m going."


    It was only until his figure disappeared into the corridor that Qiao Xuan finally regained her senses. She pinched her own hands, confirming that she was not dreaming.


    After returning home, Qiao Xuan lowered his head, his face red, and whispered to his parents: "Good night, I''m going to sleep."


    The Qiao¡¯s father had originally been prepared that if Qiao Xuan came back while crying, he would definitely teach him a lesson and bring injustice to his daughter, regardless of what Sheng Liang''s identity was.


    But what was going on in front of them? Had they come to an agreement?


    Qiao Xuan entered the room and laid on the bed. He was unable to recover from the pleasant surprise for a good while.


    Just now when he was in her embrace, the warmth that hadn''t been on his body for a long time, and the familiar smell when he kissed her, Qiao Xuan closed his eyes and felt that he was still by her side.


    She really believed that he would turn his back on her, and was actually brainwashed by Qi Luo''s seductive words. After such a long time, she herself was sorrowful at home, but she didn''t know what kind of test Sheng Liang was going through by himself.


    She was truly a little afraid. If he appeared a little later, would she really choose someone else to live a different life with?


    But now, she had to think of how to explain it to Sheng Qian. She swore that she wasn''t treating him as a shadow that would leave just like that, but rather that she was really planning to start a good relationship with him at that moment.


    However, Sheng Liang''s appearance caused her to have no choice but to make a new decision.


    The next morning, as expected, Sheng Qian came to pick her up. Qiao Xuan walked out of the entrance of the residential complex and saw Sheng Qian leaning on the car, wearing casual clothes. When he saw her coming out, he immediately opened the car door and opened it for her with a smile on his face.


    "Have you decided where to go?" Sheng Qian turned and look at her.


    Qiao Xuan did not dare meet his gaze, and only said lightly: "Any park is fine."


    Sheng Qian laughed: "Aren''t you being too casual? Why don''t we go to the Riverside Ecological District, where the peach blossoms are blooming."


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "Ok."


    The Riverside Ecosystem was located at the outskirts of the city. Along the river, there was a long fitness road. On both sides of the road, there were weeping willows and weeping willows.


    Because he couldn''t enter this place while driving, Sheng Qian found a place outside to park his car, and then walked in with Qiao Xuan. He helped Qiao Xuan to carry the easel on his back for a while, chose a good place to set up the easel, and started to draw the scenery in the distance.


    Sheng Qian watched her silently from the side. It was not at all like how he was always unable to finish his words in the past.


    Qiao Xuan drew for a while, then turned his head and saw Sheng Qian lying on a boulder beside him with his arm folded. With the scenery blended in, he looked like the person in the painting.


    She drew a scale at the bottom of the drawing board and then drew him in, one at a time.


    Peach blossoms bloomed on the river bank, causing passers-by to stop and take pictures. On the river bank, there were many parents with children holding fish nets and buckets, fishing in the river for fish. The children were dancing with joy.


    Sheng Qian stretched lazily and sat up from the rock. He walked behind Qiao Xuan and saw the person she was drawing and a few ripples unconsciously appeared in his heart.

 C198

    Qiao Xuan took off the painting from the easel and handed it over to Sheng Qian: "This is for you, consider this as your last gift to me."


    Sheng Qian laughed, then turned the scroll and placed it inside the painting, "I really like this present."


    Qiao Xuan looked at the time, it was almost noon, and said to Sheng Qian: "Go eat, I''ll treat you."


    "Yes." Sheng Qian smiled, but it was not in his eyes.


    They went into a small restaurant, took a seat, and the waiter came to order. Qiao told her to be modest, looked at the menu, chose a few bland dishes, then ordered drinks and beer.


    In this kind of small place, it was naturally impossible to compare to Sheng Qian''s usual entry and exit. Qiao Xuan said apologetically: "If you''re not used to it, we can change places."


    Sheng Qian shook his head: "When I was in Tibet, my food and drinks were the same as the locals, this is nothing."


    When she talked about him going to Tibet, Qiao Xuan unconsciously thought about the scripture he gave her and the poem that was written inside.


    She understood his deep feelings, but she could not return a thousandth of his feelings.


    "Sheng Qian, actually I have something that I want to tell you." Qiao Xuan mustered a lot of courage before he finally spoke of the beginning.


    But Sheng Qian actually laughed and said: "I know what you want to say, so, you don''t need to say anything. I am very satisfied with my current life, and will not force anything."


    This trip to Tibet, Sheng Qian felt as if he had been reborn. Qiao Xuan was surprised.


    But this was also good. Time had always been the best healing medicine for him. Once he could one day walk out of this relationship, it would be his new life.


    Everyone had their own way of cultivation, and no one could interfere with it.


    They were eating, and a person walked past them, probably because he had drunk some alcohol and was walking left and right, and when he walked in front of them, he bumped into Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan reached out to push him away, but he was too heavy, so no matter what, he could not push him away.


    From the moment Sheng Qian saw this person collide with Qiao Xuan, he had already stood up. He reached out and pulled this person aside, then asked Qiao Xuan: "Are you alright?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, just as he was about to ask Sheng Qian to sit, he saw a few men who were living in poverty walking over. Without saying a word, they pushed Sheng Qian down to the ground and shouted, "Damn, you don''t want to live anymore, you dare to push our boss!"


    Seeing that the other party had so many people, Qiao Xuan immediately pushed their hands away, wanting to help Sheng Qian up: "Sorry, we were being rude, I apologize to you, please let him go."


    "Aiyo, this little girl is not bad," the man with a mustache laughed. Then he got the drunk man to help him over and asked, "Boss, how do you think we should deal with this?"


    The man looked at Qiao Xuan with hazy, drunken eyes and pointed at her. Sleep with me, man... Throw him out after a round of beating! "


    "Alright!" The bearded man replied.


    Just as he was about to order his men to do as his boss said, Sheng Qian suddenly pushed those people away and stood up. He opened his arms in front of Qiao Xuan and blocked: "Let''s see who dares to move!"


    They did not expect Sheng Qian to suddenly make such a move, and without further ado, they started to attack.


    Sheng Qian did not give them a second chance. He had Qiao Xuan protected at the corner behind him the entire time, preventing anyone from passing through him.


    The other customers had already dodged them, only leaving them behind in the restaurant. The tables and stools were all used as weapons, smashing towards Sheng Qian non-stop.


    Sheng Qian was afraid that he would hurt Qiao Xuan, so at the back, he did not even bother to retaliate anymore, he only hugged Qiao Xuan tightly in his arms, smashing the chairs onto his body.


    Qiao Xuan could only hear the roars of those people and the muffled sound of things hitting Sheng Qian''s body, but Sheng Qian just continued to hug him, not saying a word.


    A familiar voice said something, and gradually, the sounds of punches landing on Sheng Qian seemed to have disappeared. Qiao Xuan tried to let go of Sheng Qian''s body, only to see his head and hands covered in blood: "Sheng Qian!"


    Sheng Qian smiled at her. "I''m fine, just a little dizzy."


    As he said that, his body fell to the side, Qiao Xuan immediately supported him, raising his head to look, only to see that among the people fighting with the other people, there was actually Luo Jie, thinking of the voice just now, he immediately understood, Sheng Liang had definitely been protecting her since the beginning.


    She called Luo Jie over and had him carry Sheng Qian out of the car. Then, she quickly sent him to the hospital.


    Fortunately it was only a superficial wound, and after suturing it, the nurse had given Sheng Qian some anti-inflammatory medicine. He leaned on the bedside, looked at Luo Jie, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Since you''re outside, why didn''t you come in earlier?"


    Luo Jie glanced at Qiao Xuan and explained: "Young Master Liang told me not to get too close, so I didn''t dare to follow him in. I don''t know what happened inside, and I only found out after customers ran out.


    Sheng Qian looked away. It didn''t matter if he was injured, but Qiao Xuan was nearly injured.


    Seeing his unsightly expression, Qiao Xuan said to him softly, "You should just lie down.


    Hearing that Qiao Xuan was so concerned about him, all of the thoughts that Sheng Qian had in his heart disappeared. He looked at her innocently and said, "Help me out."


    Qiao Xuan had been scared by the sight of him covered in blood, and thinking that it was all to protect her, she unconsciously started to feel tender towards him.


    His body was full of wounds. When Qiao Xuan helped him lie down, they were all very careful.


    Luo Jie could see clearly from the side that the injuries on Sheng Qian''s body were nothing to a man.


    "Young Master Qian, since you''re injured like this, should we inform Madam Xun?" Luo Jie deliberately asked.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan also had the same intention, Sheng Qian quickly said: "Please don''t tell me.


    He begged again and again, so Qiao Xuan didn''t let Luo Jie notify him, and planned to take care of him for a night. After all, he did this to protect her.


    Luo Jie clearly knew that Sheng Qian did it on purpose, but he couldn''t tell Qiao Xuan about it, but he couldn''t pretend that he didn''t know.


    "Miss Qiao, it is not convenient for you to stay here. I will stay behind to take care of Young Master Qian. Please go back and rest." Luo Jie finally thought of a compromise as he smiled and said.


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she thought that there were differences between males and females, and there were indeed many inconvenient places, so she said: "Alright, then I will trouble you, Sheng Qian, I will come again tomorrow."


    When he came back from Tibet, Sheng Qian really wanted to stay by Qiao Xuan''s side without any desire or desire, but when he opened his eyes at the hospital, he saw Qiao Xuan''s anxious look for the first time, and all those feelings of unwillingness returned.


    He did not want much, he only wanted to make use of this opportunity to get along with Qiao Xuan by himself. Even if it was just one night, he was satisfied.

 C199

    Seeing that he did not say anything, Qiao Xuan tucked him in and said, "Sleep well. When I come over tomorrow morning, I''ll bring you breakfast."


    Sheng Qian turned his head, but did not say a word.


    Qiao Hua warned Roger about some things, got up, and walked out. Roger escorted her to the door, but just as her foot was about to step out, he heard a muffled bang behind her. Qiao Tu''s heart skipped a beat and he turned around abruptly, only to see Sheng Qian fall down from the bed.


    "Sheng Qian!" Qiao Xuan ran back in a hurry and helped him up. He said to Luo Jie frantically, "Go get a doctor!"


    Luo Jie looked at Sheng Qian and couldn''t help but admire him in his heart. In order to keep Qiao Xuan here, he had been really ruthless to himself.


    Hearing Luo Jie''s reply and leaving, Sheng Qian grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand and said, "Don''t go."


    He was acting like this, how could she still dare to leave? Qiao Xuan immediately replied: "I''m not leaving, don''t mess around anymore."


    The doctor cleaned and bandaged Sheng Qian''s wound again, then said to Qiao Xuan: "Family members, don''t sleep tonight, you must definitely pay attention to it. His previous recording showed a slight concussion, and if he were to fall again, the situation would become even worse.


    "Got it." Hearing the doctor say this, Qiao Xuan was also very scared, she watched as the doctor left and she sat on the side of Sheng Qian''s bed, seeing him staring at her without blinking, as if he was afraid that she had left. He unconsciously sighed, "How can you be like this, you would only be happy if something happened to you, do you want to scare me to death?"


    Sheng Qian actually laughed, and pulled her hand: "And here I thought you really had the heart to abandon me."


    Qiao Xuan slanted her eyes at him. She actually wanted to, but the sight of his face covered in blood was really scary.


    "How do you feel now? Do you want to vomit?" Seeing that Sheng Qian seemed to be tired, she asked softly.


    Sheng Qian shook his head, he could not even open his eyes, but he could not help but stay awake, and his grip on Qiao Xuan''s hand unconsciously tightened.


    Knowing what he was afraid of, Qiao Xuan held his slightly cold hands and said: "Rest assured, I won''t leave. I''ll guard you here.


    At first, Sheng Qian was still holding on, but after a while, he finally couldn''t hold on anymore and fell asleep. However, he didn''t let go of Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to sleep at all, he just sat straight on the sickbed and waited for him to fall asleep before putting his hands back on the bed.


    In the middle of the night, when Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Qian turning his head as if he was in great discomfort, she subconsciously touched his forehead and discovered that his body temperature was abnormal.


    The nurse came over to take Sheng Qian''s temperature. As expected, she was having a fever, so the nurse hurried over to inform the doctor and after that, a few nurses came over to take Sheng Qian''s temperature and sent him to the emergency room.


    Qiao Xuan did not know what had happened. Watching the nurse coming in and out of the emergency room, she knew that Sheng Qian''s situation was bad, and she was so scared that her heart jumped to her throat.


    After a long while, the doctor finally came out. Qiao Xuan walked over and asked: "What''s wrong with him, is he serious now?"


    "The patient''s intracranial blood pressure has suddenly risen, which is why he has a high fever. Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise it would have been really dangerous. It''s fine now, the nurse will send him back to the ward. You should continue watching."


    Qiao Xuan thanked the doctor and then stood in place, waiting for Sheng Qian to come out.


    After all that had happened, Sheng Qian''s face had turned even paler. He now had several types of monitors on him, and even used a breathing machine, making him look like a serious patient.


    Qiao Xuan had been worrying for the whole night. When Sheng Qian woke up on the second morning, he looked like nothing had happened.


    The nurse came over and gave him some daily checkups. Then she said, "You''re so lucky. If it wasn''t for your girlfriend not sleeping all night, you probably wouldn''t be able to wake up now."


    Hearing the nurse''s words, Sheng Qian was even more elated. After the nurse left, he said to Qiao Xuan: "Look, the nurses all feel that we are very compatible."


    Qiao Xuan was indeed frightened by him, but she did not dare to provoke him further, and could only ask: "What do you want to eat, I''ll go buy it for you."


    "Don''t go, just have the nurse send it over later." Sheng Qian was afraid that she would not come back once she went out.


    Qiao Xuan sighed, but just as he was about to say something, he heard the door to the sickroom being pushed open, followed by the sound of a woman crying: "Son, what''s going on, how did you end up like this?"


    Qiao Xuan turned her head, only to see Xun Hui walking in quickly, and she immediately stood up to make way: "Madam Sheng."


    Xun Hui didn''t seem to be able to see Qiao Xuan at all, he only sized him up: "Which bastard hit this? Tell mom, Mom will take revenge for you!"


    The moment Sheng Qian saw Xun Hui coming in, the space between his eyebrows knit up as he muttered to himself, "That bastard Luo Jie."


    "What, Luo Jie beat you up?" When Xun Hui heard her, he thought that she was answering her question.


    Sheng Qian had originally wanted to explain himself, but when he thought about how Luo Jie had purposely called Xun Hui, he became so angry that his teeth started to itch.


    Xun Hui nodded his head, and spoke a lot more.


    Seeing that someone had come to take care of Sheng Qian, Qiao Xuan said to him, "Since your mother is here, I''ll head back first. I''ll come see you again when I''m free."


    Without waiting for Sheng Qian to object, Qiao Xuan walked out and closed the door.


    He did not sleep the whole night, but his nerves had finally relaxed. Qiao Xuan felt sleepy, so she pressed on his neck and slowly walked towards the elevator.


    But at this time, there were too many people visiting the hospital, every elevator was full, so Qiao Xuan walked towards the side of the stairs.


    Just as she turned the corner, Qiao Xuan''s arm was suddenly pulled over, and her body fell into a warm embrace.


    Qiao Xuan almost cried out in shock. When she saw that the one holding her was Sheng Liang, she was surprised: "Why are you here?"


    "Of course I''m here to pick you up." Sheng Liang kissed her forehead, his heart aching, looking at the exhaustion on her face, "Are you exhausted?"


    Luo Jie, that idiot, actually sympathized with Sheng Qian, and only told him about it this morning. Otherwise, he would have notified Xun Hui last night, and Qiao Xuan wouldn''t have had to wait here all night.


    Qiao Xuan was afraid that Yue Yang would be angry, she looked at his face carefully and said, "Last night ¡­."


    Sheng Liang pressed a finger to her lips, and said lightly: "You don''t need to explain to me, I know everything."


    Qiao Xuan hugged him lightly, closed her eyes and said, "I want to sleep."


    Sheng Liang did not speak any further, directly picking her up and walking down.


    "Put me down." Qiao Xuan struggled to say. If he walked down the stairs like this, he would be tired.


    Sheng Liang ignored him and continued walking down. He said softly, "Don''t worry about anything. Go to sleep."

 C200

    Qiao Xuan was really too sleepy, and being in Sheng Liang''s embrace, listening to his heartbeat, her uneasy heart gradually calmed down, and she quickly fell asleep.


    After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when Qiao Xuan woke up, he saw that Sheng Liang was sitting at the side watching over her. Seeing that she had opened her eyes, he used his hand to caress her hair: "Wake up, are you hungry?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded. From last night till now, she had not eaten anything, and her stomach was growling a long time ago.


    Sheng Liang carried her up, and just like that, he directly carried her to the chair in front of the table. After that, he used a wet towel to help her wipe her hands: "I made them boil some porridge, and made a few light dishes.


    When Qiao Xuan helped her wipe her hands, she immediately wanted to retract her hand, but Sheng Liang did not let go, "Eat first, then you can go take a bath and change clothes."


    Being taken care of like that, Qiao Xuan felt like a patient who could not take care of himself. She whispered: "Sheng Liang, there''s no need to be like this, I can do it myself."


    Sheng Liang didn''t say anything, he just sat opposite to her and slowly helped her boil the porridge. He placed it in front of her and said, "Eat it."


    Qiao Xuan drank a few mouthfuls before raising his head to see that he was still looking at her. With a blush, he asked, "Are you not going to eat?"


    "I ate it while you were sleeping." Sheng Liang continued to stare at her unblinkingly.


    When she noticed that Sheng Liang''s gaze was still on her, her face became even redder, and she didn''t even dare to raise her head to look at him.


    After finishing his meal, Qiao Xuan went to take a bath. Sheng Liang had already arranged for people to place the clothes inside, she changed her clothes and came out feeling much better.


    Now she knew that Sheng Liang had brought her to the room that he rented from the head of the hotel. No wonder the style and aura here were so familiar.


    Qiao Xuan walked over with his slippers. Seeing Sheng Liang leaning on the Floating Window and looking at her clothes, he smiled lightly and said, "So beautiful."


    It wasn''t his first time seeing her, but she actually said that. Qiao Xuan''s face turned red as he said: "You''re getting more and more glib tongued."


    "What I said was true." Sheng Liang reached out and pulled her out, wrapping her in his embrace, his lips stroking her hair, "I always feel like I can''t hug you enough."


    Qiao Xuan was itching because of him. She pushed his face with her hands: "It doesn''t matter if you bring me here, are you not afraid of being discovered?"


    He was Qi Luo''s fiance in name.


    However, when she said this, she felt that she was the third person, the one who was having an affair with him.


    It made her uncomfortable.


    Sheng Liang detected her unhappiness and kissed her forehead: "Endure it a little longer, it will end very soon."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything, but she turned around and gave Sheng Liang a kiss. She wanted to tell him that she wasn''t forcing him to do anything, that what he was doing was too dangerous, and that his safety was more important than anything.


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to retract his body, Sheng Liang grabbed the back of her head and kissed her deeply again and again.


    If he did not have other things to take care of, Sheng Liang would have definitely pressed her down on the bed and begged her to take care of it. He had not touched her for so long, he was about to go crazy.


    After sent Qiao Xuan back, he changed his clothes and drove to the Qi household.


    When Qi Luo heard him enter, she immediately ran down the stairs and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Cool, you''re here."


    "Mn," Sheng Liang grabbed her hand, looked at the powder on her finger, and asked. "What were you doing just now?"


    Qi Luo laughed happily and said: "You''ve found out about this. I''m acting as the trump card for our engagement party."


    "That kind of thing, just let others do it. Look at your dirty hands." Sheng Liang said as he took out a handkerchief and wiped her hair.


    Seeing his meticulous look, Qi Luo was secretly overjoyed. She suddenly tiptoed and kissed the corner of his lips.


    Sheng Liang was slightly stunned. He released her hand and said softly: "Alright, go play by yourself. I have something to discuss with your brother."


    Qi Luo smiled and nodded, then ran upstairs.


    Sheng Liang stood in place, slowly wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and then wiped the place where he was kissed by Qi Luo just now, then threw the handkerchief into the trash can.


    When Sheng Liang knocked on the door, he saw that Qi Chu was looking at a map on the computer, some red dots were slowly moving on the circuit. Upon hearing the knock, he closed the computer: "Come in."


    Sheng Liang pushed the door and entered. He secretly looked at Qi Chu''s computer, then said: "I have already arranged the engagement party.


    "That''s not important," Qi Chu walked over to the sofa and sat down. He poured two glasses of red wine from the Awakening Wine and waved for Sheng Liang to sit beside him.


    Sheng Liang picked up his wine cup and took a sip, then said in a deep voice: "It''s me who has climbed up high, I''m no longer someone of Sheng Family, you and Mayor Qi are still willing to accept me."


    Qi Chu patted his shoulder and said: "The reason why my sister likes you, is not because you are the son of Sheng Family. The reason why I am brothers with you, has also never been because of your family background.


    "Thank you," Sheng Liang said in a light voice. "If you need anything from me, feel free to speak."


    Qi Chu laughed, drinking from his cup, he then lit up another cigarette and slowly leaned against the back of the sofa: "I have something I need your help with, tonight, I have to go stock up, and the other party is French, I think you know French, why don''t you help me keep an eye on them?"


    "What is it?" Sheng Liang casually asked.


    "Red wine." Qi Chu smiled meaningfully.


    The best red wine in the world is in France, and there''s no need to import it from here?


    Sheng Liang knew that Qi Chu was testing him and pulling him into the water as well. From now on, they were people standing on the same boat.


    However, this was also Sheng Liang''s goal. When he was locked up on suspicion of murder, Qiao Xuan went to break up with him and he thought of this plan.


    Qi Luo had been the chess piece in Qi Chu''s hands from the beginning, and it was Qi Chu who had made her intentionally approach him, because he was the one who was least favored by the Sheng Family, and also the one who could become their puppet.


    However, Qi Luo mistakenly took the drug, causing Qi Chu''s plan to be put on hold. even wanted to kill him to keep his mouth shut, because he never took the bait.


    However, this time, Qi Luo used the Qi family''s background to get him out of the police station, and Qi Chu knew that their chance had come.


    And he could take advantage of this and pretend that he could only rely on them to carry out his plan.

 C201

    "Alright," Sheng Liang agreed, "Send me the time and place."


    Qi Chu nodded, then said: "Go look for Xiao Luo, that girl has been waiting for you for a long time."


    Sheng Liang smiled and said, "Seeing how happy I am now, it''s time for you to find a girlfriend."


    Qi Chu waved his hand: "For a woman, it''s fine to be a younger sister, but not a girlfriend."


    They talked about other things before Sheng Liang finally went to Qi Luo''s room.


    Qi Luo ran over barefooted and grabbed Sheng Liang''s arm, bringing him to the side of the tea table. On top of it was a bunch of red invitation cards, Qi Luo looked at him and asked with a simple face: "Tell me, do you want to give Qiao Xuan an invitation to attend our engagement party?"


    There had been an open showdown before, but Qi Luo was still able to act as if nothing had happened, as if she had completely forgotten those things.


    Sheng Liang sat down, flipped through the invitation she had written, and said indifferently: "For such a happy thing, there''s no need to let someone who doesn''t have anything to do ruin the scenery, right?"


    He was almost certain that Qi Luo precisely wanted Qiao Xuan to come and then humiliate her in front of everyone.


    How could he allow Qiao Xuan to be harmed like this again?


    Qi Luo laughed, then sat beside him. He tilted his head and looked at the expression on his face: "You can''t possibly be reluctant to part with me, unwilling to let her personally see our happiness and self-harm?"


    Sheng Liang turned his head to look at her, his smile slightly cold. "If she were to come, wouldn''t the one who will be embarrassed be me?


    Qi Luo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "That''s true, then don''t let her come."


    Sheng Liang shifted his gaze. In an angle that Qi Luo couldn''t see, his eyes grew colder and colder.


    Besides, Qiao Xuan was also sent back home by Luo Jie. Luo Jie watched her as she climbed up the stairs before driving away.


    Qiao Xuan walked in and greeted her parents. Seeing that they were looking at her and seemed to want to say something, but were hesitating, she knew that they wanted to ask about what had happened last night, and took the initiative to say: "Last night, I was not with Sheng Liang, and a friend of mine was injured and hospitalized. His family was not there, so I helped take care of them, that''s all."


    Although they had personally witnessed Sheng Liang pulling her out that day, she had never admitted to things that they were on good terms with each other. She did not want to cause trouble for her family, nor did she want all of the effort Sheng Liang had put in to waste because of this.


    And the reason why he did not say Sheng Qian''s name was because he did not want them to think too much into it.


    The Qiao parents looked at her doubtfully for a while and then left. Qiao Xuan also went back to his room and sat on the chair. He had obviously just separated from Sheng Liang before he started to miss her crazily.


    She stood up and walked towards the balcony, then saw a person standing there. The room was very bright, so she could see it very clearly. Her lips moved, as if she was in disbelief: "Xu Yi?"


    Qiao Xuan still remembered everything that happened that day. When Sheng Yan died, Xu Yi disappeared without a trace, and even though Luo Jie had sent many people to look for him, there was not a single trace of him.


    Today, he had appeared here.


    Although what happened that day was extremely bloody, Qiao Xuan was not that afraid of Xu Yi. She could still remember him mentioning that he had knocked her out in Sheng Liang''s office.


    Therefore, Qiao Xuan felt that he was not a bad person. There must be a reason behind his actions.


    Xu Yi was still wearing the same clothes as that day, a hat and a mask. He stood there, did not walk forward, and only said to Qiao Xuan in a deep voice: "Director Qiao, if you still believe me, you should agree to go to Lan Xi International to work. What Young Master Liang is doing right now is very dangerous, you should go to Lan Xi.


    Hearing his tone, he was still on Sheng Liang''s side, but what did her going to Lan Xi have to do with Sheng Liang''s plan?


    But that was not the question that Qiao Xuan was more curious about. She asked softly, "Why did you want to kill Sheng Yan?"


    If he was really on Sheng Liang''s side, he should know about the relationship between Sheng Liang and Sheng Yan.


    "I can''t say," Xu Yi sunk for a moment, and still revealed the words, "I can only tell you, Sheng Yan had long betrayed the Young Master Liang, and when I went to the office of the Young Master Liang that day, it was I who discovered that someone was copying the things in his computer.


    Qiao Xuan remained silent. She recalled something from the past: When they were in Europe, they would encounter attacks quite a few times, especially when they went to look for Luo Keke.


    At that time, they had thought that it was Sheng Hua''s doing. According to Xu Yi''s words, it could also be Sheng Yan.


    Also, at that time, the only witness who testified against Sheng Hua was Sheng Yan, but in order to protect him, Sheng Liang was unwilling to say it out loud. If he really treated Sheng Liang as a brother, he wouldn''t have watched idly by the side when Sheng Liang was in trouble.


    Especially on the day of the accident, when Qiao Xuan thought about it carefully, it was Sheng Yan who intentionally pulled Sheng Liang down, but Xu Yi was actually trying to push him away with all his might.


    Surely one of these two was lying. Was it Sheng Yan?


    Just as Qiao Xuan was muttering to himself, the voice of the Qiao¡¯s mother came from outside, as if he was about to open the door. Xu Yi then said in a low voice, "Whether or not I was lying, you will find out tonight. Tell the Young Master Liang to go to the port an hour earlier.


    Just as Qiao Xuan wanted to ask what he meant, he had already climbed down the balcony very quickly.


    Qiao¡¯s mother entered the room right after, and saw Qiao Xuan standing there in a daze, with the glass door of the balcony open, he immediately said: "Such a cold day, why don''t you close the door?"


    Qiao Xuan wanted to stop her mother from going over, but before she could say anything, Qiao¡¯s mother had already closed the door without saying anything else.


    Seeing that Xu Yi had already left, Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.


    After Qiao¡¯s mother left, Qiao Xuan stayed in a daze for a while longer. She did not directly call Sheng Liang, but told him what Xu Yi had said instead.


    Luo Jie was shocked speechless for a long time. It was only when Sheng Liang asked who it was did he finally say, "It was Miss Qiao. She said that she wanted you to go to the port early tonight."


    Sheng Liang frowned, he took the phone from Luo Jie''s hand and asked: "Who told you this?"


    "It''s Xu Yi." Hearing that he did not speak, Qiao Xuan asked softly, "Is it useful to you?"


    "It''s useful," Sheng Liang said, then continued, "Don''t worry about this matter, and don''t listen to others. Just listen to me, understand?"


    Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly said: "Sheng Liang, be careful. When you come back, no matter how late it is, give me a call, okay?"


    "Alright." Sheng Liang promised, and after listening to her hang up, he returned the phone to Luo Jie.


    Luo Jie kept his phone and asked Sheng Liang: "Who exactly is Xu Yi''s position, and whose person is he?"

 C202

    Sheng Liang''s eyes darkened, he did not answer, and just as he was about to fall silent, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the time and place Qi Chu had sent the message to him.


    He looked at the time and saw that there were still four hours left. He said to Luo Jie: "You don''t have to appear tonight, just keep watch at port number 3. Go over there and see if any police officers are ambushing them."


    Luo Jie acknowledged and immediately left.


    Sheng Liang sat there, his hands on his knees, his fingers on his lips, as time passed minute by minute. Then, an hour before the time Qi Chu told him about, he drove to the outside of the warehouse.


    Someone was loading the goods there. As he got closer, they all put down what they were doing and surrounded him with flashlights. "What are you doing?"


    Sheng Liang was shaken to the point that he couldn''t even open his eyes. He spread open his hands to prove that he wasn''t armed, then said: "My name is Sheng Liang, it was Master Qi who asked me to come."


    Those few people looked at each other, as if they had already received instructions. Someone walked over and searched Sheng Liang before letting him in.


    The leader laughed and said: "Young Master Liang, please don''t take offense. The harbor is not peaceful, and there are too many people robbing us, so we have no choice but to be cautious and offend them."


    "No problem, this is a rule, I understand." Sheng Liang looked at the boxes that they had already packed, they were all made of wood, and casually asked: "When will that Frenchman come over?"


    "It should be soon." The man looked at his watch in the light of his flashlight.


    Sheng Liang found a place to sit down and looked around vigilantly.


    After a while, as if a rubber dinghy were approaching, he looked over and saw two men coming down toward them.


    "It''s the Frenchman." After doing a body search, Qi Chu''s men brought the two Frenchmen over and asked Sheng Liang, "Can you help them communicate with each other?"


    Sheng Liang stood up and shook hands with the two Frenchmen, then spoke about some insignificant matters in French with them. He then said to Qi Chu''s men, "Open the box, they want to inspect the goods."


    Qi Chu''s men looked at each other, the leader laughed and asked Sheng Liang: "They really want to see the goods?"


    Obviously, the order they had received was just a formality. Sheng Liang said: "How about you personally ask?"


    The leader hastily waved his hand, "No, no, no. I don''t understand. Um, the two of you, come over and open the box."


    Two people came over and used a crowbar to pry open the nails on the boxes. As expected, there were bottles of red wine inside.


    Just as they were looking at it, Sheng Liang''s phone suddenly rang. It was Luo Jie, and he anxiously said, "Young Master Liang, there''s a policeman heading towards your direction. Get out of there quickly!"


    Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Sheng Liang had already hung up and said to Qi Chu''s people: "The police are here.


    Those people were a bit confused, but they still followed the order and threw the chests into the sea.


    As soon as they had lowered the case, the police arrived and told everyone to stand against the wall. They looked around, but found nothing, and came back with their flashlights flashing in their eyes. "What are you doing here so late at night?"


    The few of them did not say a word, but all of their gazes turned towards Sheng Liang. The leading officer could tell that Sheng Liang was the main character with just one look, he stood in front of him and asked: "What are you doing here?"


    Sheng Liang ignored him and only called Qi Chu and said: "I was taking a walk by the beach and was questioned by the police. If you know anything, please explain it to me."


    After he finished speaking, he gave his phone to the leading policeman, who took it over. Hearing Qi Chu''s voice, he immediately laughed and said: "It''s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, we will not make things difficult for Young Master Liang."


    After hanging up, the lead policeman said to the other officers, "There''s nothing going on here. Let''s go to the next warehouse."


    After they left, Sheng Liang had his men take out the boxes again. He fawned over the two Frenchmen for trade and got the money from them before telling them to put the boxes into the French rubber dinghy.


    Sheng Liang took the box to the Zero Court and gave it to Qi Chu: "I''m done, I''ll go back to sleep first."


    Qi Chu immediately pulled him back: "Why are you in such a hurry? The nightlife has just begun."


    Qi Chu placed Sheng Liang on the sofa and poured him a glass of whisky, then said with a smile: "I heard from the people below that you have a fast reaction. If not for you today, I would really be in trouble."


    "Why don''t you ask me why I want to sink the wine into the sea?" Sheng Liang stared closely at Qi Chu''s expression.


    Qi Chu only laughed, "How could I hide this kind of thing from you? You could easily tell whether or not it was red wine inside. "A Liang, you are born to be on this path. Come with me. In the future, the entire Asian market will be ours."


    Sheng Liang took a sip of the wine and lightly said, "I won''t touch poison, that is the rule of Sheng Family."


    "But you are no longer someone from the Sheng Family. Have you forgotten that Sheng Tianhao has already broken off all relations with you?" Qi Chu patted his shoulder and said, "You should know how big the profits are in this market.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head, stayed silent for a while, and said: "I''ll think about it."


    Qi Chu patted his shoulder and said, "Think it over carefully, I will wait for your reply."


    As Sheng Liang left the Zero Court, he unconsciously shivered from the cold wind that blew in his face. Then, he got on the carriage and drove in the direction of his home.


    Luo Jie was waiting for him on the way, seeing that his car was parked beside the road, he ran over, opened the door and got in the car: "What did Qi Chu say?"


    "Let me do drugs with him." Sheng Liang''s voice was cold and clear. Suddenly, her lips raised, "Back then, he had people mix drugs into my wine. This debt, should be properly settled."


    "What are you going to do?" Luo Jie asked.


    He was well aware that the power of the Qi family was not something that some rich people could compare to. How could it be so easy to overthrow it?


    Sheng Liang''s voice was as calm as water: "I need a person to replace Qiao Xuan and go to Lan Xi International."


    Luo Jie felt that this was probably even more difficult than knocking out the Qi Family.


    Who else could replace Qiao Xuan? With ability and trust, there probably wasn''t a second person in this world.


    When they reached home, Sheng Liang took off his jacket, and threw it on the sofa. He sat on the sofa, and took out his phone to call Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to sleep, he just sat on the bed and waited. He was feeling incredibly tormented in his heart, when he suddenly heard the bell ring, he hurriedly picked it up and, seeing that it was indeed Sheng Liang, didn''t know what to say.


    "Are you listening?" Sheng Liang spoke a few words, but she did not say anything, so he asked.


    Only then did Qiao Xuan say: "I''m here, why are you back so late? Did something happen?"


    "With the information you gave me, how could I be alright?" Sheng Liang laughed and said, "If only you were by my side now."

 C203

    I want to, too," he whispered, with a hint of anticipation in his cool voice, and a weary mute. "But it''s not convenient for you.


    If others knew that their breakup was fake, then Sheng Liang''s plan would have all been for naught.


    However, Sheng Liang still heard it. He smiled lightly, stood up, took his jacket and walked out: "Wait for me for 20 minutes, don''t sleep."


    Before Qiao Xuan could understand what was happening, Sheng Liang had already hung up. She held her phone, looking like she had instinctively listened to Sheng Liang, and sat there in a daze, waiting for him to finish his work before calling her.


    At that time, it was already early in the morning. His parents were already asleep, but Qiao Xuan didn''t feel sleepy at all.


    After a while, her phone indeed rang again. She saw the message Sheng Liang sent her: I''m at your doorstep, open the door.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then, he hurriedly went out of the room and opened the door. Seeing that Sheng Liang was really standing at the door, he suddenly felt inexplicably touched.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything as well. Probably because he was afraid that he would wake her family members up, he only pointed at her body, indicating that she should put on her jacket before pulling her down the stairs.


    It was the same hotel room as last time. Just as he closed the door, Sheng Liang reached out and pulled Qiao Xuan into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her lips.


    All the worry and unease in Qiao Xuan''s heart calmed down the moment he was embraced by Yun Che.


    There was nothing more important than this, and at that moment he was truly beside her.


    Sheng Liang kissed her deeply, as if he was trying to pass on all of his thoughts to her.


    Hearing that she also wanted to see him, Sheng Liang was no longer able to control his emotions that he had been trying so hard to suppress. Normally, a cautious person like him would not take such a risk, but just now, he only wanted to get to her side right away.


    When Qiao Xuan was about to lose his breath from the kiss, Sheng Liang let go of her. Looking at her crimson red face and her alluring lips that had just been kissed by him, he didn''t wait any longer. He carried her horizontally to the bedside and gently put her on the bed.


    Although it wasn''t the first time, Qiao Xuan still couldn''t help but blush and heartbeat, especially when she saw his handsome face that was just inches away from her.


    Sheng Liang kissed her even more passionately. He kissed every part of her body, ignited flames in every part of her body, and looked at her rolling around below him. Her eyes were hazy, but she bit her lips and did not make a sound.


    He called her ¡­ Hua Er...


    When Qiao Xuan was distracted, he could feel Sheng Liang once again biting and grinding beside her ear. Her entire body immediately felt as though it had gone numb from electricity, and she could not help but moan softly.


    As if he was very satisfied, Sheng Liang kissed her while calling her name again and again.


    Hua''er, Hua''er ¡­


    When she opened her eyes, she saw that Sheng Liang had already woken up, and was carefully putting on her clothes. Seeing that she had woken up, Qiao Xuan leaned over and kissed her apologetically, "I still woke you up."


    His movements were already very light, but she had always been a light sleeper.


    Qiao Xuan sat up, pulled Sheng Liang''s hand, pulled him close to himself, and helped him tie his tie. "I''m fine, but are you really awake enough?"


    He had come back so late last night, and now he had to leave so early, and he was so busy with his work, it was always like this, how could he bear it.


    "I''m used to it." Sheng Liang lowered his head and looked at Qiao Xuan''s skillful movements, which were quickly tied up. He said half-jokingly, "Such skillful movements, I even thought you often do this for other men."


    Before she was reborn, she often tied Sheng Hua''s tie. At that time, Sheng Hua was her husband, but they did not even interact a little bit with each other.


    But how was she going to explain these things to Sheng Liang? It was such a fantasy that no one would believe.


    Seeing her pale face, Sheng Liang kissed the top of her head and said: "I was just joking."


    How could he not know how pure Qiao Xuan''s thoughts were? In terms of work, she was adept at it and could take charge of herself, but in terms of relationships, she was as simple as a piece of white paper.


    Qiao Xuan came back to reality and understood that he did not do it on purpose.


    Sheng Liang put on his jacket, and said to Qiao Xuan: "You should sleep a little more, I''ll leave the room card with you. You can come over anytime."


    Qiao Xuan looked away, "What if Qi Luo comes over?"


    They were a legitimate, unmarried couple.


    Sheng Liang lifted her chin with a finger and made her look straight at him: "If there''s no chance, even if there is, I won''t let anyone hurt you."


    Qiao Xuan hugged his waist and said: "Don''t worry about me, I''m not that weak. I can protect myself."


    In the past, everything was settled by her alone. She had never relied on anyone, but when she was together with Sheng Liang, she felt that she had become more and more useless.


    "What kind of man are you if you can''t even protect the people you like?" Sheng Liang rubbed her hair, "I''m going, go to sleep."


    Seeing him turn around, Qiao Xuan suddenly asked: "Sheng Liang, I want to know if the things you''re doing right now have anything to do with Xilin Family?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know why she thought this way either, but ever since Lan Xi had looked for her, she had always felt that they were not here for her, but for Sheng Liang.


    Especially after what Xu Yi said to her.


    Sheng Liang turned around and caressed her face with his fingers: "Hua''er, don''t do anything, just wait for me here. In the future, don''t look for work, I will take care of you."


    Sheng Liang walked for a good while, but Qiao Xuan was still in a daze. Because his words saying he would support her, she felt warm in her heart, but Sheng Liang''s evasive words also allowed her to confirm that his plans were indeed related to Xilin Family.


    Qiao Xuan laid on the bed for a while longer, then turned and sat up, going to the bathroom to take a bath. He saw that Sheng Liang had already helped her put away the clothes she wanted to change.


    This was the room he had rented for a long time, so there was a lot of his personal belongings.


    Qiao Xuan changed into a new set of clothes, tidied himself up a little, and just as he was preparing to leave, he heard a knock on the door. It was Qi Luo''s voice!


    "Cool down, are you inside? It''s me, Little Luo." Qi Luo knocked on the door and said.


    Qiao Xuan frowned. This was bad, if Qi Luo saw that she was here, all of his plans would be for naught.


    She took out her cell phone, walked to the bathroom, and closed the door softly. She quickly dialed his number, but there was a notification on the other end of the phone.


    "My apologies, Miss. The guest in this room is not inside." The waiter walked over and said to Qi Luo.


    Qi Luo glared at him. Of course she knew that Sheng Liang was not here, if not would she come?

 C204

    "Open the door. I need to see it for myself to believe it." Qi Luo said.


    "This ¡­" The waiter was a bit troubled, "You should tell our manager."


    Qi Luo smiled sweetly, but his eyes were filled with a sinister ruthlessness: "Do you not want to work anymore, do you not know who I am? Tell your manager to come and see me!"


    She knew very well that Qi Luo had definitely not come here for no reason at all. She must have definitely obtained some information, and if she had opened the door and found out that she was there, then it proved that everything Sheng Liang had said was a lie.


    What should he do?


    Qiao Xuan immediately called Luo Jie, but he was also on the phone right now.


    When Qiao Xuan came out of the bathroom and heard that Qi Luo was still outside, she walked to the window and looked at the distance between her and the balcony, thinking about how to jump over there.


    "Excuse me, are you looking for me?"


    As Qiao Xuan was deep in his thoughts, he suddenly heard someone asking Qi Luo. And that voice, was none other than Xu Yi!


    Qi Luo turned his head to look at Xu Yi. "Who are you?"


    Xu Yi smiled lightly: "This is my room, the waiter said that a young miss is looking for me."


    Qi Luo unconsciously lifted his head to look at the room number, then turned to Xu Yi and suspiciously asked: "Your room?"


    Xu Yi also did not say anything, he only took out his room card and swiped it across his face. The door opened as he smiled at Qi Luo: "Anything else?"


    Qi Luo bit her lips, although she was unwilling, but seeing the security guards who had appeared out of nowhere, she could only leave.


    After all, she was hiding this from Sheng Liang and had people secretly follow him.


    Seeing that she had left, the waiter apologized to Xu Yi. Xu Yi nodded his head and pushed the door open.


    "How did you get a room card?" Sheng Liang should not give it to others so casually.


    Xu Yi did not hide anything and replied honestly: "I booked this room for Young Master Liang. Before handing the room card over to him, I copied one."


    Then at that time, Xu Yi already had some heart towards Sheng Liang?


    When he thought of the person who he trusted so much, the person who could enter and exit Sheng Liang''s room at any time, Qiao Xuan unconsciously broke out into a cold sweat.


    Having roughly seen through Qiao Xuan''s thoughts, Xu Yi said lightly: "I won''t do anything bad to the Young Master Liang, if not I would have succeeded long ago."


    Qiao Xuan frowned, thinking back to when Sheng Liang asked Xu Yi a question, she also asked: "Just who are you to?"


    Xu Yi still did not answer, but said to Qiao Xuan: "You only need to know, that I won''t harm Young Master Liang."


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t think of who the person behind him was, but he was sure that he had a strong background as well. Otherwise, with Luo Jie''s capabilities, he would have definitely found him a long time ago.


    His mobile phone suddenly rang in the quiet room, Qiao Xuan immediately took a look, and upon seeing that it was Sheng Liang calling, she reached out her hand and touched the button to answer it.


    But before she could even touch the phone''s screen, Xu Yi suddenly grabbed her phone and directly turned it off.


    Qiao Xuan frowned, he was also a little nervous: "What are you doing?"


    I want to ask Boss Qiao to follow me to a place, "Xu Yi grabbed her arm and walked out," Before this, I do not wish for Young Master Liang to know, he already sensed that Qi Luo was coming here, so he let Luo Jie come here. I created an accident and blocked Luo Jie two streets away, so Luo Jie should be here soon.


    Qiao Xuan tried to struggle. "Didn''t you say you won''t harm Sheng Liang?"


    So what was he doing now?


    "There''s no time, I''ll explain it to you on the way here. Sorry about that." Seeing that Qiao Xuan was not willing to cooperate, Xu Yi struck his palm onto her neck and she immediately fainted. Xu Yi picked her up and quickly entered the elevator.


    At the same time, Luo Jie came out from the other elevator and quickly ran to Sheng Liang''s room. Seeing that the door was open, without a trace of Qiao Xuan, his expression immediately froze as he took out his mobile phone and called Sheng Liang: "Young Master Liang, Miss Qiao is missing."


    Sheng Liang was already in the company at that time, but when he heard Luo Jie''s words, he immediately stood up and said: "Was he taken away by Qi Luo?"


    "Probably not," Luo Jie said as he walked out, "When I was on my way here, I met with an accident, and it might have been set up on purpose. Furthermore, I heard the waiter say that Mr. Xu who booked a room had entered, could it be Xu Yi?"


    Xu Yi?


    Sheng Liang frowned slightly, then lowered his hand that was about to open the door: "I got it, come back."


    Up till now, he still could not guess Xu Yi''s position, but one thing was certain, he would not harm Qiao Xuan, maybe because Qiao Xuan still had value to him.


    Xu Yi really wouldn''t hurt Qiao Xuan, he had no choice but to take her downstairs and put her on the carriage. When the car started, Qiao Xuan heard a sound and slowly woke up, pressing his neck as he sat up.


    "Director Qiao, are you alright?" Xu Yi looked at Qiao Xuan from the rearview mirror.


    Qiao Xuan looked outside and saw that the car had already drove away from the hotel. Furthermore, with Xu Yi''s skill, she would definitely not be able to escape. She straightened her shoulder-length hair and asked softly: "Where are you bringing me to?"


    "Lan Xi International," Xu Yi looked at the astonishment on Qiao Xuan''s face and continued, "I know that Young Master Liang will definitely oppose it, that''s why I avoided him. However, if you want to help Young Master Liang, there is no one more suitable for it than you."


    Qiao Xuan believed that Xu Yi was really going to help Sheng Liang for now. Hearing his tone, he knew everything, so Qiao Xuan asked: "Do you know what Sheng Liang is going to do?"


    Xu Yi nodded.


    Qiao Xuan was not willing to tell her his plan no matter what. Maybe she could learn a bit from Xu Yi, "Then tell me what his plan is.


    "Actually, even if I didn''t say anything, you would have probably guessed that the Young Master Liang''s target was never the Qi Family, but he could borrow the power of Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu to weaken the threat of Xilin Family."


    Xilin Family, the legendary largest family in the north. Not only were their properties spread throughout the entire world, they also had military backgrounds. Even Qi Mingyu found it difficult to shake them.


    It was really too risky for Sheng Liang to do this.


    But if there was someone who could work with him, the result might be different.


    "But if I go, will they suspect me?" Although there was a hunter looking for her, after she said she would think about it, the other party did not contact her again. Now that she took the initiative to go over to Lan Xi''s side, they would definitely suspect her motive.


    "No," Xu Yi said affirmatively, "Because it was the Seventh Elder who asked me to come and invite you."


    Seventh Master, the current manager of Xilin Family, the Xilin Fu who was rumored to be decisive in killing, and extremely cold-blooded?

 C205

    "He asked you to come?" Qiao Xuan looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, "You are ¡­ Someone from the Xilin Family? "


    Xu Yi''s expression did not change much, and his tone was light as well: "Since I''ve told you this, then I won''t hide anything. I''m not someone from Xilin Family, I''m just Xilin Fu''s driver."


    If that was the case, he should have arrived at Lan Xi not long ago, but Xilin Fu actually trusted him this much.


    Qiao Xuan knew that all the people that Sheng Liang could stay by his side, must have their outstanding characteristics. But to be able to reach Xilin Fu''s side in such a short period of time, Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but have a whole new level of respect for him.


    Lan Xi International was a company that started out with Xilin Family and was the cornerstone of their business empire. Therefore, even though it was no longer the main industry of Xilin Family, it still possessed the same level of strength as Golden Age.


    The entire floor only had a circular office, and were entirely made up of transparent glass walls. Before they even entered, Qiao Xuan saw a woman in professional attire kneeling on the floor, cleaning up the scattered documents, while the person behind the desk was facing the window, with the back of the chair facing the door. had not even gone in yet, when he saw that she was wearing a professional attire.


    "Seventh Elder, I''ve brought the Miss Qiao." Xu Yi and Qiao Xuan stood in the middle of the office, Xu Yi respectfully said to the person behind the desk.


    Xilin Fu, who was sitting on the chair, did not turn around. Instead, he raised his finger and signaled for Xu Yi to leave.


    Xu Yi slightly nodded. When he walked out, he did not look at Qiao Xuan either.


    "Miss Qiao was willing to come, so I agreed." Xilin Fu still had his back facing Qiao Xuan, his voice a little hoarse.


    Qiao Xuan snorted: "You''re kidnapping."


    Xilin Fu still had not said anything, but the woman who was kneeling on the ground earlier actually carried a pile of documents and stood up, and coldly said to Qiao Xuan: "You dare to speak to Seventh Elder like this, don''t you want to live!"


    Looking at the woman''s actions just now, Qiao Xuan had thought that she was just a submissive little employee, but she dared to teach him a lesson in front of Xilin Fu. Furthermore, when she stood up, Qiao Xuan saw the name on her chest plate.


    "Kidnapping, threatening, is this how you treat your guests?" Qiao Xuan shot a glance at the woman, and then returned her gaze to Xilin Fu. Although she could only see his shoulders and arms.


    The woman laughed coldly, "So what? Don''t you know what kind of place this is?"


    Qiao Xuan frowned. He was just an assistant, yet he was this arrogant?


    "Lena, you go out." Xilin Fu slowly turned around. The sunlight shone in from behind him, and his face seemed to be covered as if he was hiding in the shadows.


    When the woman called Lina heard Xilin Fu''s words, she immediately went out with her head lowered.


    Xilin Fu crossed his legs and held his fingers together as he looked at Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, please sit."


    "No need. If you have something to say, just say it. Then, I''ll leave." There was clearly a warm breeze in the room, but Qiao Xuan felt a chill behind her back. She did not want to stay here any longer, not even a second.


    Xilin Fu seemed to be smiling, but his face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "Actually, I have admired Miss Qiao for a long time, why not, leave Sheng Liang and come to my side."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart suddenly shook. She had originally thought that Xu Yi was the only one who knew that she was brought here from Sheng Liang''s room. It seems that her thinking was too simple.


    "I only said that I can consider coming to Blue Brook to work. As for everything else ¡­" Qiao Xuan held onto her last bit of hope that she had overthought things.


    Xilin Fu finally stood up and walked towards Qiao Xuan one step at a time: "How do you know that this time, it''s not Sheng Liang who''s using you again.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the man who was walking towards her and an alarmed cry almost left her throat. She saw that there was a long scar that ran from her forehead to her cheekbone on the rather handsome face that looked like a centipede.


    "My face, did it scare you?" Xilin Fu suddenly leaned over, closing in on Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan unconsciously swallowed, and then, he retreated a few steps. "Mr. Xilin, this has already exceeded the scope of our discussion."


    Looking at her flustered expression, Xilin Fu straightened his body and revealed a playful smile: "Then let''s continue discussing you and Sheng Liang. How sincere do you think he is to you, one point, or two points?"


    Qiao Xuan dodged his gaze and slightly frowned: "This is between him and me ¡­"


    Before Qiao Xuan even finished speaking, Xilin Fu had already said: "Do you believe me? He now knows that you''ve disappeared, but he didn''t look for you anywhere. Instead, he sat at home, waiting for news of you taking up the role of Lan Xi International."


    Qiao Xuan''s finger trembled slightly, but he maintained his expression as best he could: "This doesn''t seem to have anything to do with work."


    Xilin Fu smiled with some profound meaning: "So now, Miss Qiao has agreed to enter Lan Xi, right?"


    Qiao Xuan felt like he was brought into a trap and she was the one who came here to help Sheng Liang in the first place.


    "I don''t think I have any other choice," Qiao Xuan sighed to himself, and politely smiled at Xilin Fu, "Now that we are done, can I leave?"


    Xilin Fu nodded: "I''ll get the driver to take you back."


    Qiao Xuan immediately said: "No need, I''ll call my own car."


    Xilin Fu did not try to force it any further, and laughed: "Miss Qiao can go to work tomorrow, I will quietly wait here for you."


    Xilin Fu had a smile on her face the entire time, but Qiao Xuan didn''t feel anything special, she only felt a gloomy and cold feeling, especially the scar on his face, she didn''t even dare look at it. She nodded and bid farewell to him, then Qiao Xuan immediately walked out, escaping from this suffocating place.


    Qiao Xuan did not stop for a single word. She only started to pant heavily after they exited Lan Xi''s room. Only then did her tensed mind gradually relax.


    After stopping a taxi, Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still said the name of the inn.


    It seemed like only that place was the only place she and Sheng Liang could go to.


    Only now did Qiao Xuan feel that she seemed to have become his secret lover again. She could not bear to see the light of day, and did not dare to mention it to anyone.


    She took out her phone and turned it on, seeing that a few missed calls were from Sheng Liang, but after one hour, she stopped calling them.


    After getting off the car in front of the hotel, Qiao Xuan walked into the room in a daze. Outside of Sheng Liang''s room, she took out the room card that he had left for her to open the door.


    With such a familiar temperature and aura, she didn''t even need to look to know who it was. Her hands slowly wrapped around his waist.

 C206

    Sheng Liang released his hand and gently brushed the hair on her forehead. He kissed her forehead and said: "It''s alright, I''m here."


    Qiao Xuan looked up at him. From his face, one could not seem to see any other expression: "Do you know where I went?"


    His eyes flashed almost imperceptibly. "I know now."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart unconsciously sunk, but he slowly said in the end: "Qi Luo came looking for me, so I tried to call you, but I couldn''t get through. At that time, I was really afraid that she would discover me, and I was afraid that all your previous work would have been for naught.


    Sheng Liang listened quietly all this while, before saying, "I''m sorry."


    However, this was not the answer Qiao Xuan wanted. She became a little disheartened and let go of his hand. She took two steps back and leaned on the door.


    "Hua Er ¡­" Sheng Liang supported her shoulders and frowned, "What did Xilin Fu tell you?"


    Looking at his nervous expression, Qiao Xuan couldn''t help but sneer, "Why are you so concerned about what he said? Are you afraid that I''ll betray you?"


    Sheng Liang''s hand slipped down from her shoulder and gently held her hand: "Hua''er, listen to me. Don''t believe what he''s saying.


    Then what about you? Weren''t you using me, "Qiao Xuan blocked his hand, and suddenly became agitated," I know you have a plan, but you said that your engagement to Qi Luo was fake. Fine, I''ll cooperate with you, if you want to meet me secretly, I''ll cooperate with you too, aren''t you planning very well, why did Qi Luo come here, why did Xilin Fu also know I was here, you did this on purpose to let them know, and then achieve your goal! "


    Sheng Liang looked at her quietly, and after she finished yelling, he said softly: "Let''s sit down and talk, okay?"


    Seeing that she did not object, Sheng Liang pulled her to sit on the sofa and poured a cup of water for her. "Whatever you want to know, I can answer any questions you want. Drink some water first and calm down."


    It was unknown if it was because he was too nervous previously, or because he had said so much just now, Qiao Xuan felt that he was extremely thirsty, so he raised his cup and drank.


    Sheng Liang only watched from the side until he saw her fall towards one side while holding her head. He immediately held her and carried her to the bed inside.


    After helping her cover herself up and lie down, Sheng Liang took a chair and sat down, watching her by the bed.


    When she fell asleep, her face was very calm, without the slightest signs of her emotions having run out of control.


    However, Sheng Liang knew that what she had just said were all things that she wanted to say.


    It was he who broke his promise and didn''t protect her properly, allowing her to experience these terrible things.


    After an unknown period of time, Sheng Liang saw Qiao Xuan move and immediately reached out to grab her hand, asking gently: "You''re awake?"


    Qiao Xuan felt dizzy. She raised her hand and knocked a few times, but was caught by Sheng Liang.


    She opened her eyes and looked at him, frowning. "Why am I asleep?"


    She clearly remembered that she and Sheng Liang seemed to be talking about something.


    Sheng Liang did not tell her that he had put a sleeping pill in the water, he only said, "You were hypnotized by Xilin Fu."


    "What?" Qiao Xuan was in disbelief, she tried to recall carefully, and it was as if she had lost control of her emotions ever since she saw him. She suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Did I say something excessive to you just now?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head, blaming himself a little: "I was too careless."


    Qiao Xuan remembered everything, every word she said to Sheng Liang, seemed to be stabbing him in the heart, "Sorry."


    Sheng Liang sat beside Qiao Xuan and held her in his arms. After seeing her expression just now, he truly felt a lingering fear, he couldn''t imagine what Xilin Fu would do if he were to be even more despicable and do that kind of thing to her. Even if he died, he wouldn''t be able to forgive himself.


    "It''s my fault," Sheng Liang said as he held her even tighter, "Hua''er, don''t go near Xilin Fu. His danger is not something we can imagine."


    "What about you?" He was not doing something more dangerous.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head and kissed her lips, and only opened them after a long while: "I have my ways."


    His way was to use Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu?


    This was no less than trying to get revenge on behalf of the tiger. They had only seen a little bit of Xilin Fu''s danger, but Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu, who was the one who was easy to deal with, had been injected with too much insulin by Qi Chu and almost died.


    "Why must you do this, you and Xilin Family ¡­" What kind of hatred did he have? Otherwise, why would he have paid such a huge price to do something that had both advantages and disadvantages?


    But before Qiao Xuan could ask further, she saw Sheng Liang glance towards the side with a cold and malicious gaze. She already knew that he and Xilin Family did indeed have a relationship that she did not know of.


    Moreover, his recent carelessness shouldn''t be because of what Xilin Fu had said. It was just that he was too anxious to end everything, so he had underestimated the other party''s ability.


    Qiao Xuan crawled into his embrace, hugging his slender waist: "Sheng Liang, don''t be anxious, take your time, this is not something that can be done in a day and a night."


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have waited so many years. However, the situation was different now, and the longer he dragged things out, the more danger Qiao Xuan would face. Furthermore, he was already tired of acting as if he belonged in front of Qi Luo.


    However, what happened today made him understand that he had to calm down. Otherwise, Xilin Fu would see through all his weaknesses and he would become more and more passive.


    This time, Sheng Liang did not feel at ease leaving Qiao Xuan alone here, he insisted on sending her back home, and only left after he saw her walk into his house.


    Qiao Xuan closed the door and stood by the door. Only after hearing his footsteps disappear did he let out a sigh of relief.


    From their recognition until now, she seemed used to listening to him, but this time, she decided to do what she wanted.


    After resting at home for half a day, early the next morning, Qiao Xuan drove herself to Lan Xi International. In the underground parking lot, she saw Xu Yi, who seemed to be waiting for her.


    "The chairman wants me to lead you up. The office is already prepared for you." Xu Yi said respectfully. From his eyes, one could not tell that he was familiar with her at all.


    This was Xilin Fu''s place, and there was monitoring everywhere. Qiao Xuan could understand Xu Yi''s caution.


    He followed Xu Yi into the elevator and went into her office. Qiao Xuan was surprised to find that the layout of the office was exactly the same as the one in Yi Leng Cui''s office.


    When the phone suddenly rang, Qiao Xuan suddenly regained her senses. She took it out to take a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Then, she heard Xilin Fu''s voice: "Do you like it?"

 C207

    Knowing what he was referring to, Qiao Xuan said lightly: "You don''t have to do this, it''s just a work place, I don''t care that much."


    Xilin Fu laughed softly as his quiet and hoarse voice transmitted through the microphone, "However, this is the place we are the closest to. Furthermore, I also want you to know that the things that Sheng Liang can do are things that I can''t compare to."


    Listening to his voice, Qiao Xuan could not help but think of the smile on his lips, the bottomless chilliness in his eyes, and the long scar on his face. She couldn''t help but shiver all over and immediately hung up the phone.


    She turned her head and saw the assistant called Lina who came in yesterday. She placed a pile of documents she was carrying on her desk, pushed her glasses and said, "Boss Qiao should not know anything about Lan Xi''s business, these documents and documents can help you quickly understand, so I hope you can finish reading them today and get to work as soon as possible."


    After she finished speaking, Qiao Xuan asked her: "Are you assigning me a mission?"


    "Please call me Miss Liu," the assistant, Lena, emphasized. "Only the chairman of the board of directors is qualified to speak to me in that tone."


    Qiao Xuan did not say anything, she was just probing him, this Liu Lina, must have a special relationship with Xilin Fu.


    Qiao Xuan walked over to the desk and casually flipped through the documents. All of them were basically useless information that could be found online.


    Xilin Fu didn''t believe her at all, but she had already expected this.


    However, Qiao Xuan still read it seriously. Lan Xi did make cosmetics, but she had never come into contact with it before. She had to familiarize herself with this profession in the shortest amount of time in order to find out their weakness.


    For the entire day, Qiao Xuan buried herself within the pile of information, until her eyes became dry. She opened the drawer, wanting to see if there were any eye drops inside.


    Back in Golden Age, she used to put some chocolate in the drawer and eat one when she was in a bad mood.


    However, this habit was forgotten after she was reborn, so even Sheng Liang did not know about it.


    "Are you looking for this?" Unknowingly, Xilin Fu had appeared in her office and placed a bottle of eye drops on her table.


    Qiao Xuan raised his head and saw him. Then, he immediately shifted his gaze away and closed the drawer: "Thank you."


    Xilin Fu laughed, then sat on the sofa: "I''ve said that I have admired you for a long time, and am not lying to you."


    "When did it start?" Qiao Xuan took the bottle of eye drops and asked casually.


    Xilin Fu looked at her with unfathomable eyes: "When you were still Sheng Hua''s fiancee."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart moved, and his fingers also trembled a little. Those days seemed to be a long time ago, but it seemed like it was only yesterday that he was mentioned by her.


    While Qiao Xuan was in a daze, without noticing, Xilin Fu had already walked over to her side and was half-leaning on the desk in front of her, taking the eye drops from her hands. He then reached out to raise her chin, and when he saw that she was about to dodge, he said in a low voice, "Don''t move."


    Xilin Fu''s tall and big figure completely enveloped Qiao Xuan, and from such a close distance, Qiao Xuan could sense that it was filled with the aura of a man. Especially the moment his fingers opened her eyes, Qiao Xuan felt as if his heart missed a beat.


    Xilin Fu''s movements were light, and did not have the slightest impression of him, but Qiao Xuan did not feel any discomfort.


    "Close your eyes and rest for a bit. Don''t look at things like that anymore. A company''s background and culture isn''t something you can finish in a day." Xilin Fu was still leaning on the wall, looking at her.


    Qiao Xuan moved his seat back a little, not daring to close his eyes, he lowered his eyes and said: "Didn''t you tell your assistant to notify me like this?


    Xilin Fu''s face changed: Liu Lina? Who gave her the guts? "


    When Xilin Fu said this, Liu Lina knocked on the door timidly. "Seventh Elder ¡­"


    "Get over here." Xilin Fu did not turn back, but said with a low voice.


    Liu Lina lowered her head, and carefully walked to the side of Xilin Fu and Qiao Xuan. She looked at Xilin Fu, then quickly lowered her head.


    Xilin Fu glanced at her, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked her in the stomach. Liu Lina immediately fell to the ground, but as if she was used to it, she didn''t stop for a second and immediately crawled up, her hair in a mess.


    "Apologize to Miss Qiao." Xilin Fu acted as if nothing had happened, his voice was still low.


    Liu Lina quickly turned towards Qiao Xuan and knelt on the ground, as humble as a servant. "I''m sorry, Miss Qiao, I won''t dare to do it again."


    From the moment Qiao Xuan kicked Liu Lina, Qiao Xuan''s heart had been shocked. She had told Xilin Fu that she only wanted to warn Liu Lina, but did not expect such a result.


    "Forget it, she didn''t do it on purpose. Let her busy herself." Qiao Xuan''s mood could not calm down, and his face slightly paled.


    Xilin Fu did not even look at Liu Lina, he only whispered to her, "Scram."


    Lina thanked him and got up and went out.


    "Don''t you think it''s too much for you to treat your subordinates like this, and she''s a woman?" Qiao Xuan frowned.


    Xilin Fu smirked: "It''s just a dog, I''m already very polite."


    Qiao Xuan was unable to describe the feelings she had in her heart. Before Liu Lina came in, she thought that Xilin Fu was at least a gentleman.


    He was a pervert.


    Xilin Fu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then said to Qiao Xuan: "It''s time to get off work, I''ll send you back."


    When he seemed to want to reach out and pull her, Qiao Xuan had already stood up and walked to the side: "No need, I drove here myself."


    "Afraid that Sheng Liang would see it?" Xilin Fu smiled with some depth.


    "This is my private matter. I don''t need to answer." Qiao Xuan walked to the window and stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for Xilin Fu to go out.


    However, Xilin Fu didn''t seem to understand her words. He followed behind her and walked in front of her, forcing her to lean against the window. He had nowhere to retreat to, so he leaned over: "I''m really interested in your private affairs."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to have any physical contact with him, so she tried her best to hide her body and stick close to the flying window. Her back was hurting from the pain, "Chairman, please have some self-respect!"


    "I was just joking with you. Did I scare you?" Xilin Fu laughed, then extended his hand and pulled Qiao Xuan up straight.

 C208

    Qiao Xuan was certain that he had done it on purpose!


    This person was truly unfathomable. He didn''t even know what he was going to do next.


    Qiao Xuan walked around him, and started panicking as she walked out: "I''ll be leaving first, see you tomorrow."


    Xilin Fu did not do anything else. Hearing her voice close the door, he turned around, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.


    This was the woman that Sheng Liang liked, she did have some taste.


    Qiao Xuan got off the car in the underground parking lot and leaned on the car seat. After a while, the suffocating feeling in his chest disappeared.


    Just now, when Xilin Fu approached her, she actually had an inexplicable feeling that her heart was beating faster. That was a feeling that she had only had when facing Sheng Liang.


    But she knew, she definitely wouldn''t have fallen in love with this man, even if she hadn''t met Sheng Liang.


    She was probably hypnotized by him again.


    Qiao Xuan tried his best to calm his emotions, and then drove out. When he was close to the entrance of the residential complex, Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang''s car was parked there.


    Sheng Liang''s eyes were a little gloomy, as if he was enduring something, and when he saw Qiao Xuan stop the car, he opened the car door and got in.


    "Sheng Liang..." Qiao Xuan did not know how he came to this place. He was so open and open, so how could he not be afraid of being seen by others?


    Sheng Liang pressed her hand down, and her eyes were a little angry: "You went to Lan Xi?"


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan originally knew that she could not hide it from him, so she admitted it outright. However, she still looked at him and said, "I''m sorry, I didn''t listen to your words.


    Sheng Liang closed his eyes and frowned: "I do not need you to help me in this way. Don''t you understand?


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was truly angry, Qiao Xuan carefully held his hand and said: "I know you are worried about me. Don''t worry, I will protect myself."


    Sheng Liang looked at her, not knowing what to say. Since Qiao Xuan had decided to go to Lan Xi without him knowing, even if he persuaded her, she would definitely not change her mind.


    Right now, he could only hope that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.


    Xilin Fu, who knows what he will do!


    "Let''s go to my house for dinner, we''ve been here for a long time now." By the way, she should let her parents know that they had not broken up. Otherwise, they really would have to introduce her to the son of Uncle and Auntie.


    Because he knew that Qiao Xuan had hidden everything from him and gone to Lan Xi, Sheng Liang did not care about anything else and hurried over to her house. His originally belly full of anger, after seeing her cautious expression, immediately softened.


    Seeing that he agreed, Qiao Xuan smiled happily as he drove the car into the parking lot of the district. Then, he pulled Sheng Liang''s arm and went upstairs.


    When the Qiao family''s parents saw the two of them appear together, they couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, Qiao¡¯s mother hurriedly went over and pulled Sheng Liang, "You haven''t come here for so long, aunty is missing you too."


    "Me too," Sheng Liang said politely. "I especially missed Auntie''s cooking. My family''s new servant has poor culinary skills."


    Qiao¡¯s mother quickly said: "We will eat here tonight, auntie will cook your favorite dishes."


    "Thank you Auntie."


    Seeing that her mother had gone to the kitchen to busy herself, and that her father had given her an excuse to help, so as to not delay their two people''s world, Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang and said: "You''re really amazing, with just a few words you bought my mother off. I have never seen my mother being so friendly with anyone before, even Xiao Nan does not have this kind of treatment."


    "What I said was true." Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan over and sat on his leg, "Did he do anything to you?"


    Qiao Xuan was unable to react at all. Seeing the jealousy in his eyes, he suddenly understood that he was referring to Xilin Fu, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, it''s that assistant of his. He seemed to be extremely hostile to me, and allowed me to read the information for the whole day."


    Sheng Liang''s expression became a little calmer, his fingers touched her eyes and gently rubbed: "Do you have any eye drops at home, I''ll help you with some."


    "No ¡­" "No need, I''ve already counted them." Qiao Xuan''s avoided her gaze a little, and unconsciously thought of the feeling of being so close to her when Xilin Fu gave her the eye drops.


    Sheng Liang saw that her face was slightly flushed, and her gaze was quickly moving away. He didn''t frown, but didn''t say anything.


    After a while, when he couldn''t speak properly, he felt a little guilty. He slid down and put his arm around his waist, leaned against his chest and said, "The times we have met have been so short, and I have a lot to tell you, and a lot to ask you, but I hope that you will be safe every day.


    Sheng Yan''s death had caused him so much pain, especially when he was still sick, but when he needed someone to lean on the most, she wasn''t by his side. She felt that she really was useless.


    However, she had also thought that even if he truly betrayed her and was together with Qi Luo, as long as he was fine, she would be at ease.


    Sheng Liang held her and kissed the top of her head: "With you here, I''m still unwilling to die."


    Hearing him say death, Qiao Xuan immediately sat up, and used his fingers to cover his lips: "Don''t say that, Sheng Liang, promise me, even when there''s no hope, don''t easily give up."


    She still remembered what Sheng Liang had said before, that he was a person who did not have a tomorrow. Thus, from the beginning of his plan, he had never planned to live, but now, it was different.


    Seeing the worry in her eyes, Sheng Liang smiled lightly: "I''m just here to eat, there''s no need to talk about such a sad topic, right?"


    He had always tried his best to not let others see his weakness, so at that time, he endured unbearable pain for ordinary people, and he didn''t let Sheng Hua discover that he was addicted to drugs.


    But now, even though Qiao Xuan was his biggest weakness, he was unable to protect her under his wings.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was changing the topic, but she did not fall for his trick.


    Sheng Liang was quiet for a moment, seeing that Qiao Xuan was still waiting, he said: "I swear, I won''t give up on myself so easily."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xuan immediately kissed him. "Remember what you said."


    If this wasn''t her home, Sheng Liang would probably be unable to resist and press her down. But now, he could only press his hand on the back of her head and deepen this kiss time and again.


    When they left, Qiao Xuan insisted on sending him off. From the bottom of their home to the entrance of the district, they walked for a long time, and even though they didn''t say anything, the two of them knew what the other was thinking.


    In the end, he still walked to Sheng Liang''s car. Sheng Liang pushed down her hat and pulled up her scarf even tighter before he softly said: "Go back, it''s cold outside."


    Therefore, Qiao Xuan was unwilling to part with him. However, she did not want to cause him any trouble because of her, so she was very conflicted in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and walked back.


    Hearing that his car was about to leave, Qiao Xuan slowly turned around and ran a few steps forward. Watching as his car slowly drove away, she lowered her head and was about to return, when she heard footsteps walking towards her.

 C209

    She subconsciously turned her head over, and saw that Xilin Fu was already standing a meter away from her.


    "Are you that surprised to see me?" Xilin Fu''s voice was quiet and hoarse, a smile was clearly visible on his face, yet for some reason, it caused people to feel afraid.


    "Just now, you ¡­ Always here? " If he just happened to pass by, that would be too far-fetched. In other words, he was already here.


    Xilin Fu did not comment, but walked closer to her and whispered: "I heard that Mayor Qi is very fond of his daughter. If he knew that his future son-in-law was not married to his girlfriend before the engagement, what do you think he would do?"


    Qiao Xuan''s face changed, but he still pretended to be calm. "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    With his absolute advantage in height, Xilin Fu sniffed the fragrant water on Qiao Xuan''s body from top to bottom and laughed, "Alright, I can pretend that I don''t know."


    Seeing his actions, Qiao Xuan immediately retreated, but she almost tripped on a nearby stone step. She cried out in shock, fell to the side, and in the next moment, Xilin Fu already wrapped his arms around her waist, and looked down at her eyes from the top of her head.


    His heart started to beat faster, and his face started to turn hot unconsciously. Qiao Xuan knew that this was very abnormal, but she could not control herself.


    Qiao Xuan used his last bit of reason to push him away, before looking away and saying, "I''m sorry, it''s time for me to go back."


    The streets were a little cold and his shadow stretched out under the street lamps. Xilin Fu stuck his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and his quiet voice made people''s hearts tremble even more, "Don''t you plan on sealing my mouth with something? I don''t have such a good relationship with Sheng Liang, so I won''t help him hide it."


    Qiao Xuan suddenly raised his head to look at Xilin Fu. Even though he didn''t want to admit it, she had been threatened. She knew how important this was to Sheng Liang.


    And most importantly, she could not let Xilin Fu find out that Sheng Liang''s final goal was him.


    "What do you want me to do?" Qiao Xuan asked softly.


    Xilin Fu did not reply. Instead, he stared at Qiao Xuan and asked, "For him, will you agree to anything?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know why he would ask such a question, but the answer was obvious in her heart.


    Xilin Fu looked at her indifferent expression, and did not ask further, but his expression was a little ugly: "I hope, that you won''t regret it."


    Qiao Xuan felt that his words were unfathomable, and when she wanted to ask, she saw that he was already walking towards the other side of the street, his back looked very similar to Sheng Liang''s.


    When Sheng Liang returned home, he also saw someone he did not expect. Just as he changed his shoes, he saw Qi Luo running out from inside, and he was suddenly stunned.


    "Where did you go? I was waiting for you to eat dinner." Qi Luo revealed a sweet smile, and as she spoke, she helped him to take off his jacket, hung it on the hanger, and then took his arm to walk inside.


    Sheng Liang released her hand without leaving a trace, and said indifferently: "I''ve already eaten, you eat by yourself, I''ll go take a bath."


    Qi Luo watched him from behind, the smile on her face instantly fading as her eyes filled with hatred. She knew that once Sheng Liang went to see Qiao Xuan, she would expect him to at least explain things to her.


    She was extremely disappointed, but her voice was still sweet as she said, "I can''t eat it all by myself. I''ll wait for you to come down and eat it with me."


    Sheng Liang still did not answer and went straight up the stairs. He had even started to regret, and at that time, even if he wanted to fake cooperating with Qi Chu, he should not have used Qi Luo as a cover.


    The current Qi Luo was extremely stubborn. If he was too resolute, he was afraid that Qi Luo would go and hurt Qiao Xuan.


    After showering, Sheng Liang went downstairs to see that the lights below were all turned off. Only the wall lights gave off a dim light.


    He walked into the dining hall and saw Qi Luo sitting at one end of the table. On the table, there was a row of candles and a cup of red wine at each end of the table.


    Hearing the voice, Qi Luo stood up and turned around to look at him, "You came down."


    "Is today an important day?" Sheng Liang walked over and sat at the other side.


    "Don''t you remember? Today is the fifth anniversary of our meeting." Qi Luo''s eyes jumped with light.


    It had been five years, and they had known each other for five years. For such a long period of time, Sheng Liang had thought that they would definitely keep walking together, but he hadn''t thought that they would actually reach such a state.


    "Oh." Sheng Liang''s reaction was light.


    Qi Luo did not show any disappointment, she was still smiling as she raised her cup and said: "Here''s to us for five years."


    Seeing her raise her head and drink, Sheng Liang faintly sighed, then also drank his wine.


    She stood up, walked to Sheng Liang''s side, poured another cup of wine for him and said: "I know I was too willful in the past, I did many wrong things, and always made you worry, I promise that in the future, I will learn to be a good wife and mother, and when we get married, I want to give you a child. We will grow up together, okay?"


    As Sheng Liang listened to Qi Luo''s longing, he unconsciously creased his eyebrows. If it was half a year ago, he would probably feel very gratified, as his Little Luo had finally grown up.


    But now, he only felt that it was fate that played tricks on people. Actually, the reason why they became like this wasn''t entirely Qi Luo''s fault.


    Or perhaps it was because he had held back on this relationship from the very beginning.


    Unknowingly, Sheng Liang drank his wine again. He lowered his head and said softly: "It''s all because I didn''t do well enough."


    After he confirmed his relationship with Qiao Xuan, he was actually entangled with him. This was unfair for both of them.


    Qi Luo reached out and caressed his face, her eyes shining. "Let''s not mention about the past anymore, we will be fine in the future."


    She ran her fingers along his cheek, down his chin, and slowly took his Adam''s apple. Then she unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and held it to his chest, spinning it in circles.


    Wherever her finger passed by, it was as if Sheng Liang''s skin was set ablaze.


    Sheng Liang''s Adam''s apple rolled up and down. He frowned as he wanted to push her away, but when he touched her cool arm, this kind of temperature made him feel very comfortable.


    His body seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and his vision seemed to be blurring as well. When he looked at Qi Luo, he couldn''t help but feel his mouth go dry as well.


    Qi Luo actually, drugged him!


    Qi Luo hugged his waist from behind, "Why must you bear with it? I have already grown up, I want to become your woman."

 C210

    As Qi Luo said this, a hand had already slipped into Sheng Liang''s shirt, moving along his narrow waist.


    Sheng Liang clenched his fists tightly, the temperature of his body becoming hotter and hotter, as if only Qi Luo''s hug could save him. He used a lot of energy to try and pry open Qi Luo''s fingers, and when he opened his mouth, he discovered that even his voice had become a little hoarse.


    However, Qi Luo just tightly hugged him and did not let him go. She even kissed his back through her shirt: "Don''t reject me, I just want to be with you. Cool ¡­"


    "You know I hate people who plot against me the most, but you actually want me to take you for yourself in this way!" Sheng Liang said coldly, "Don''t ever think about it!"


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was very determined, Qi Luo suddenly released him, ran over and locked the door, then slowly walked towards Sheng Liang and said: "Do you think that the woman will be grateful to you if you are like this? She was only together with you because of your identity. Have you forgotten how she abandoned you when you were wrongly accused of murder!? "Only I, only I truly love you, I can do anything for you!"


    The effects were even more obvious, his body began to feel weak, and his breathing also became heavier, "Little Luo, I know everything, and I would treat you as my own little sister to be pained, but this is not possible."


    Qi Luo laughed coldly: "I don''t want to be your sister, I just want to be your woman!"


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what kind of medicine Qi Luo was using, but it was actually so powerful. Sheng Liang felt that the dry heat on his body was about to engulf him, and if this continued, he would definitely not be able to control himself.


    Seeing his uncomfortable appearance, Qi Luo started to take off his clothes as she walked towards him, and said as if she was coaxing a good child, "It''s cool, don''t resist anymore. I know you''re feeling very uncomfortable right now, hold me in your arms, and it''ll be fine very soon."


    Sheng Liang really didn''t know where she had learned all this. In order to achieve her goals, she had gone all out.


    She pounced on Sheng Liang and said: "Didn''t you say that you had waited a long time for this day to come? Now, I''m right in front of you, hugging me, cool."


    Sheng Liang spent a lot of effort to dodge to the side, and just a little bit more and he would have already hugged her instead of dodging.


    Qi Luo was thrown into the air, slightly angry from embarrassment, but before she could even get angry, Sheng Liang had pulled out a small knife from nowhere and stabbed it hard at his left arm, causing blood to flow out in an instant.


    "No, don''t," Qi Luo jumped in shock, and quickly used his hands to hold him back. "Cool, don''t be like this, don''t be like this, I won''t force you!"


    Sheng Liang didn''t want to force her, he just wanted to use this kind of method to keep himself awake, just like the time when he was addicted to drugs.


    The pain quickly spread and covered the scorching heat. Sheng Liang felt less uncomfortable and said to Qi Luo: "Wear your clothes well and get out."


    Qi Luo''s face still had traces of tears, she really did not expect Sheng Liang''s attitude to be so resolute, but she truly did love Sheng Liang. She could not bear to see him torture herself like this, so she bit her lips, picked up the clothes from the ground, and put them on one by one: "I will go out now, put down the blade.


    "No need, I can bandage it myself. You can go." Sheng Liang did not let go. The blade pierced deeper, and the more blood he bled, the more his hand trembled uncontrollably. His consciousness had already drifted a little, as if he was only relying on his will to speak with Qi Luo.


    This was the first time Qi Luo had seen such a scene, and she was a little lost in thought. She was afraid that if she did not obey, Sheng Liang would really cripple his hand, so she backed off until the door opened: "I''m going now, don''t hurt yourself anymore."


    Sheng Liang didn''t know when Qi Luo left, but the knife dropped to the ground with a clang. He also slowly fell onto the carpet, took out his phone, and then called Luo Jie. "Help me ¡­ Look for Luo Keke ¡­ "


    "Sheng Liang, what''s wrong?" Qiao Xuan''s voice came from there.


    Only then did Sheng Liang realize that he had dialed the wrong number. He did not speak for a long while, because he did not want Qiao Xuan to know about this matter.


    Qiao Xuan had already sensed that something was wrong with his voice just now, so he did not speak. Instead, he became even more nervous and called out to him, "Sheng Liang, are you still there?


    The effects of the pill did not disappear because of the pain, but Sheng Liang''s body was still unbearably hot, his voice was hoarse as he said: "I''m feeling terrible, Hua''er, can you come over?"


    Before he said that, Qiao Xuan was already dressed. She quickly walked out the door while saying, "I''ll go over right now. Just hold on for a while longer, I''ll be there shortly!"


    After hanging up, Sheng Liang curled up on the ground like a shrimp. He did not know how he could make himself feel better.


    The pain in his wound had gone numb, and his whole body was starting to burn again.


    Qiao Xuan ran in, only to see him lying on the ground with his hands covered in blood and a patch of red on the carpet. His head buzzed for a moment, then he rushed over and squatted down to his side and took out a handkerchief to help wipe the blood off the place, and when he saw that the blood was still flowing out, he immediately held the handkerchief down: "What''s going on, how did you get injured?"


    Judging from the position of his wound, it seemed like he had stabbed himself just like before, but wasn''t his drug addiction already ready?


    Qiao Xuan''s hand pressed onto his arm and Sheng Liang immediately felt a burst of coolness, especially when he heard Qiao Xuan''s voice, he did not suppress his own feelings any longer. He reached out and pulled her to his chest, then turned around and pressed her down below him.


    "Sheng Liang, you ¡­" Qiao Xuan originally wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but when she noticed that his skin was burning hot and his eyes were blurry, adding that his face was flushed red and he was doing it himself, she immediately understood something, "Were you drugged, who was it?"


    She knew that Sheng Liang had always been very careful, and only the people beside him could make him relax his guard.


    Sheng Liang did not reply her, he only looked at her from top to bottom, and asked while panting heavily: "Can I?"


    Qiao Xuan understood what he meant and nodded his head slightly.


    Sheng Liang immediately took off the clothes on Qiao Xuan''s body, then impatiently kissed her.


    Until the two of them were completely exhausted, only then did Sheng Liang stop his movements. He kissed her wet hair and said softly, "Sorry."


    He knew he was hurting her, but he couldn''t stop. It was like being addicted.


    Qiao Xuan was more concerned about his injuries. She turned her head and looked at his arm, where blood was still flowing.

 C211

    Sheng Liang straightened his body, but picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom.


    Just like that, Qiao Xuan was carried by him, her face slightly flushed: "I''m not wearing any clothes yet."


    "Wear your clothes after you take a shower." Sheng Liang completely ignored her awkwardness.


    "But ¡­" Although there was only the two of them since Qing Qing was not here, she still felt a little embarrassed.


    In particular, after Sheng Liang had put her into the bath, he had followed her in and sat right behind her, helping her clean up bit by bit.


    Although his family''s bath was so big that it was almost similar to the pool outside, and it was not that they had never seen each other''s bodies before, Qiao Xuan still couldn''t control his face from turning red as he said softly, "I can wash myself."


    Sheng Liang laughed, "I know."


    Qiao Xuan was so embarrassed by his smile that she felt ashamed, she just wanted to bury herself in the water. After a long while, she suddenly remembered something, and turned around, only to see him put his injured hand on the side of the pool, and didn''t soak in the water. She heaved a sigh of relief, but still stood up from the water, pulled out a towel and wrapped it with them.


    Sheng Liang did not object, he laid on the side of the pool and gave Qiao Xuan that hand. When it was in pain, he could only frown and did not make a sound.


    "Is it Qi Luo?" Qiao Xuan calmed himself down and thought back to the scene he saw when he first arrived. He had poured himself into the dining room, and the candles on the table had not been extinguished yet, so two red wine cups were still lying on the table. Other than Qi Luo, there was probably no other woman who could cause Sheng Liang to drink the red wine without any defenses.


    His flourished eyes opened, but he did not move. "Yes."


    Judging from his self-mutilation, nothing should have happened between the two of them. Although Qiao Xuan also cared a lot about Sheng Liang''s injuries, as a woman, she couldn''t deny that she still felt some joy in her heart.


    After wrapping him up with bandages and watching him come out of the water, Qiao Xuan lowered his head and covered him with a towel, "Go back to your room, don''t catch a cold."


    Looking at her blushing face, no matter how many times she saw his body, she would always look shy. Sheng Liang intentionally said: "Next time, help me wash it."


    Qiao Xuan''s face became even redder: "It''s not like you don''t have any hands."


    "But my hand is injured, so I can''t touch the water." Sheng Liang looked innocent.


    Really? Why didn''t he just say that?


    Qiao Xuan did not reply, and only pulled him back to his room: "It''s almost dawn, go to sleep."


    Sheng Liang was too tired, had lost so much blood, and had expended too much energy. Thus, the moment he laid down while hugging Qiao Xuan, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.


    Qiao Xuan shrunk into his embrace, listened to his heartbeat, and slowly fell asleep.


    When dawn arrived, she woke up. Seeing that Sheng Liang was still asleep, she slowly took his arm away from her waist, then got off the bed gently. After washing up, she went to the kitchen to make him breakfast.


    Seeing that he had not woken up and did not call him, she left a note for him and went straight to work.


    When they were passing by the courtyard, Qiao Xuan intentionally went in front of the Begonia tree. From that time, Sheng Liang had told her that he had buried their unformed child here.


    Sheng Liang called her Sheng Xia. Qiao Xuan thought, if she could grow up, she would be a very passionate girl.


    Unfortunately, they couldn''t watch her grow up.


    After leaving Sheng Liang''s villa, he went to the company''s parking lot, parked his car, and stepped into the elevator. Xilin Fu also entered as well, glancing at Qiao Xuan as he said: "You look good today, you must have slept very well last night."


    "Not bad." Qiao Xuan shifted his gaze away. He had a nagging feeling that Xilin Fu''s eyes were seeing through her.


    "It would be bad for your reputation if you were caught by the media." Xilin Fu said with a smile.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him and felt that he had seen everything that happened between her and Sheng Liang with his own eyes. That kind of naked and naked teasing gaze made Qiao Xuan''s scalp go numb: "What do you want to say?"


    "I mean, you were successfully used by Sheng Liang again, and became a thorn in the eyes of the mayor''s daughter." Xilin Fu looked down at her from above.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart trembled, but he still said: "You''re thinking too much, he won''t."


    Xilin Fu didn''t say anything more, but smiled until it was dark and indistinct, causing Qiao Xuan''s heart to unconsciously rise to his throat.


    Sheng Liang, could he be?


    When Sheng Liang woke up, it was already around 10 in the morning. He reached out to touch the side and found that Qiao Xuan was already gone, he opened his eyes and saw the note she left on the pillow. He knew that she had left a long time ago.


    Sheng Liang sat up, took out his phone and called Luo Jie: "Is there something wrong with the company?"


    When I arrived at the front desk today, I found an envelope filled with photos of you and Miss Qiao. From the looks of it, they were taken last night, there''s nothing on the envelope, and I didn''t even know who placed them at the front desk. I saw through the surveillance and thought that person must have entered while wearing the clothes of a cleaner, so I left the envelope and walked away without seeing his face. "Luo Jie said.


    "Why did you only say it now?" Sheng Liang looked at the time. At that moment, he was afraid that he had been posted online.


    "Miss Qiao called me in the morning, saying that even if the sky collapses, I shouldn''t wake you up." He felt helpless.


    Hearing him say that, Sheng Liang''s anger sunk a bit, and she said lightly: "It''s fine, I''ll go over later, and then we''ll talk."


    Luo Jie only said that he had received the photo, but did not say that he had any news.


    Wasn''t it extortion? What was the purpose of the person who secretly took the photo?


    Sheng Liang got off the bed, poured a cup of water and drank a few mouthfuls. Hearing his phone ring, he walked back to the bedside, picked it up and looked, seeing that it was a message from Qiao Xuan, asked him if he was feeling better.


    He was about to give her a reply when he heard the commander outside calling and scratching at the door. Instinctively, he quickly descended the stairs and went to open the door.


    When the commander saw him, he called out for him a few times before turning and running back into the courtyard. Sheng Liang was startled for a moment, and immediately followed.


    Sheng Liang''s heart unconsciously sunk when he saw the place the commander had stopped at, and his footsteps unconsciously became heavier as well. However, he still saw a huge pit being dug under the Begonia tree, where the child was originally buried.


    Sheng Liang watched in a daze, his expression a little dazed. The first thing he thought of was not who dug out the embroidered box, but rather, how he should explain it to Qiao Xuan.


    He knew better than anyone how Qiao Xuan felt towards this child, and he had always felt guilty for not protecting them properly. It was with great difficulty that Qiao Xuan finally walked out from the sadness, and if she were to know about this, she would definitely collapse.

 C212

    Sheng Liang calmed down for a while, then buried the soil bit by bit. Only then did he call Luo Jie and ask him to bring the photo with him.


    He had a premonition that these two things must be related.


    When he saw the pictures that Luo Jie brought over, he was even more shocked.


    "About that, I swear, I just took a quick glance and didn''t see anything." Seeing Sheng Liang''s dark expression, Luo Jie hurriedly said.


    However, what Sheng Liang was worried about was not that, but rather, the fact that, from the angle of these photos, that person should have been on the balcony on the second floor.


    Luo Jie quickly realized the reason why Sheng Liang was so shocked as well. He unconsciously swallowed his saliva for a moment: "This person ¡­ When and how did you get in? "


    Although there were no surveillance cameras in the yard, the outside door still needed fingerprint verification. Furthermore, there was an automatic alarm system, but this person had actually entered openly!


    Sheng Liang did not speak for a while, this matter was clearly a premeditated plan, the other party must have made sufficient preparations, thus it was not difficult to find a computer expert to remove the fingerprint, just that, why did they waste so much effort?


    "Young Master Liang, do you think this person is here for you or for the Miss Qiao?" By now, everyone in the Sang City knew that Sheng Liang was about to be engaged to the mayor''s daughter. If these photos were to be spread, not only would Sheng Liang''s engagement be affected, he would also definitely be scolded as a mistress by everyone.


    Sheng Liang''s eyes became cold, then he suddenly stood up and walked out. He did not even pay attention to Luo Jie who was calling him from behind.


    Luo Jie''s words had reminded him that the person behind the scenes wasn''t trying to take the pictures to harm him, but was clearly provoking him!


    And Qi Luo, she must have also received the photo, it wasn''t that she hadn''t come, she had come before and even dug up the embroidered box, which was about to be handed over to Qiao Xuan now.


    He casually grabbed a jacket to wear and drove out. On the way, he called Qi Luo to ask where she was, but Qi Luo''s phone was turned off, so she could only go to the Qi household to find her.


    Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu were not at home, the Qi family''s nanny opened the door for him, and he rushed straight to Qi Luo''s room. When he opened the door, he saw Qi Luo sitting right beside the dressing table, with the embroidered box on it!


    Sheng Liang was glad that he arrived earlier, he heaved a sigh of relief and slowly walked over.


    Qi Luo seemed not to have noticed his arrival as he opened the embroidered box, and just happened to walk behind her. In the embroidered box, he saw the shattered bones of the fetus and the dolls that he had placed in were also torn into pieces.


    It was at this time that Qi Luo finally turned his head to look at Sheng Liang, and his face revealed a look of panic: "Cool, listen to me ¡­"


    Last night, when she said those words, Sheng Liang felt a bit of guilt in his heart, but after she did that to him, he no longer felt guilt. Now, seeing what she had done, only hatred remained in his heart.


    He walked past her, closed the box, and said coldly, "From today onwards, we have nothing to do with each other."


    He would think of other ways to continue his plan, and he would have nothing more to do with her.


    Qi Luo reached out to grab him, but was pushed away.


    The sunny girl from before had already died in his heart.


    Sheng Liang strode out of Qi Luo''s room, opened the door and walked out. Just as he walked out of their building, he heard a loud bang behind him, and immediately, he heard screams from behind him. He suddenly turned his head, and saw that someone had fallen into a pool of blood.


    Sheng Liang''s forehead started to swell, as though it was going to explode. He regained his senses and immediately walked back, seeing that Qi Luo was still conscious, he immediately took out his phone and called for first aid.


    Qi Luo''s lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to tell him something. He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of hurting her again, so he didn''t dare move, and only used his hands to wipe the blood off the corner of her mouth: "Xiao Luo, hold on, the ambulance is coming soon, you''ll be fine."


    He took off his jacket and covered her body, using his hands to press on the wound on the back of her head, but Qi Luo quickly fell into a coma and his face became even more pale.


    Sheng Liang was panicking, this was not the result he wanted. Even if Qi Luo had done something that he could not tolerate, he hoped that she would still be alive and well.


    The ambulance arrived very quickly, and Sheng Liang helped to carry Qi Luo up. Maybe he was too nervous, but his shirt was wet on a cold day.


    The phone in his pocket rang multiple times, but he didn''t hear it, so he didn''t know that Qiao Xuan was worried about him right now.


    After sending Qi Luo to the hospital and watching her enter the emergency room, Sheng Liang backed to the wall and realized that he had lost the embroidered box.


    But he couldn''t leave under such a situation. He would explain it to Qiao Xuan later.


    Before long, Qi Chu and Qi Mingyu had arrived. Qi Mingyu''s secretary had probably called the dean ahead of time, and upon their arrival, the dean immediately went to welcome them, before bringing Qi Mingyu to the Principal''s office.


    Qi Chu looked at Sheng Liang, and asked solemnly: "What happened, why did Little Luo jump off a building?"


    "It''s my fault." Sheng Liang didn''t want to shirk his responsibilities. Even if Qi Luo was the one at fault first, his attitude at that time was too extreme.


    Just as he finished speaking, Qi Chu immediately threw out a punch, but he did not dodge, and was solidly hit in the face by Qi Chu, with blood leaking out of the corner of his mouth.


    "I only have this little sister. If anything happens to her, I won''t let you off!" Qi Chu looked at him coldly.


    Sheng Liang did not refute him. On this matter, he was indeed too anxious.


    They waited outside for a long time before the doors to the emergency room opened. The doctor walked out and they immediately walked over.


    The doctor looked regretful and said quietly, "The injured person is currently in a state of cortical denudation, which is caused by the extensive damage to the cerebral cortex caused by the acute injury, while the subcortical function is still preserved or partially preserved as a special state of consciousness, commonly known as the vegetative state."


    Hearing the last three words, Qi Chu and Sheng Liang''s hearts sank. Qi Chu muttered: "How can this be, my sister is still so young. Doctor, you must think of a way to save her!"


    "I''m sorry, I did my best." The doctor nodded to him, then stepped aside.


    Qi Chu turned around, and smashed his fist fiercely against the wall. Then, he turned his head towards Sheng Liang, with a cold and fierce gaze: "You have to take responsibility for Little Luo!"


    Sheng Liang frowned, he had never thought that the situation would develop to this point.


    Qi Luo was then sent to the intensive care unit, where they could only watch over her from the outside.


    Because the wound on her head was very big, her hair had been shaved off. Her entire head was wrapped in gauze, and blood was seeping out from the wound.


    Her eyes were closed and her body was filled with tubes, like a specimen at the mercy of others, without any sign of life.


    "When her injury recovers, you will marry her." Qi Mingyu suddenly said.

 C213

    Sheng Liang''s finger, which was hanging at the side, trembled. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.


    "I don''t know what you''re doing. If it''s because of that box, then it wasn''t brought back by Little Luo. Someone sent it to her." Qi Mingyu''s eyes dimmed, "I will send someone to investigate this matter, but little Luo did such a foolish thing because of your misunderstanding. You can''t get rid of it!"


    That embroidered box was not brought back by Qi Luo ¡­


    Therefore, this whole thing had been planned by someone.


    Sheng Liang came out of the hospital, looked at his phone, and found that Qiao Xuan had called him so many times. He wanted to call him back, but he didn''t know what to say.


    He was definitely responsible for Qi Luo''s matters. If he really wanted to marry Qi Luo, then, in his entire life, he was destined to owe Qiao Xuan this debt.


    Unless Qi Luo woke up, he would still be able to live his same life as before.


    Therefore, what he needed to do now was try his best to find the best doctor for her and receive the best treatment.


    He had originally wanted to explain this matter to Qiao Xuan after things got better, but the situation had developed far beyond his imagination.


    The next day, without him even knowing, the news of him and Qi Luo getting married had already made headlines in all the major media outlets. What was even worse was that on one of the websites, there were a few pictures that had been secretly taken before.


    The netizens all started to curse Qiao Xuan as a third party, accusing him of committing suicide by jumping off the building because of her affair with Sheng Liang. Almost all of them stood on Qi Luo''s side.


    Sheng Liang finally completely understood that the person behind the curtain had not only destroyed his previous plan to borrow the Qi family''s power to weaken his Xilin Family, but had also pushed Qiao Xuan to the heart of the struggle once again. It just so happened that he was the only one who couldn''t step out and protect her at this time.


    Xilin Fu was indeed harder to deal with than before.


    When Sheng Liang arrived at Qiao Xuan''s house, he saw her walking out and saw him. Her expression no longer held her usual happiness, it was even a little estranged from him.


    She must have seen the news, he knew.


    "Hua Er, I want to explain ¡­" Sheng Liang walked forward and wanted to hold Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Qiao Xuan dodged to the side, he looked away and said: "What are you doing here, shouldn''t you be preparing for your wedding?"


    Her cold tone made Sheng Liang feel that she was a stranger, especially her words. Every word was like a knife stabbing into his heart.


    However, he still grabbed her hand without saying a word: "Hua''er, do not believe that those things were all part of Xilin Fu''s scheme. All of this was planned by him."


    Qiao Xuan struggled for a while, but was unable to break free, before she coldly laughed: "In the past, this is what others told me about you. In reality, you have lied to me many times, as for other matters, I can trust you. But regarding the matter of the child, only you and I know where she was buried, and why did she become like that now!"


    As long as Qiao Xuan thought about the scene of the child''s bones being smashed, she would feel a suffocating pain in her heart. Her eyes reddened as she glared at Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang''s hand that was holding onto her trembled. He did not expect Xilin Fu to be this abnormal, to the point that he had to completely disappoint Qiao Xuan, he actually showed her the child''s picture.


    It didn''t matter how Qiao Xuan hit him, Sheng Liang still hugged her tightly and said softly: "I''m sorry, I was too careless."


    Xilin Fu had done so many things, but it was only now that he realised that he had completely lost control of this feeling, and started to panic a little.


    However, Qiao Xuan still pushed him away, and said with red eyes: "Sheng Liang, I''ve thought about it, let''s split up. The child''s matter is a thorn in my heart, as long as I see you, I will think of her. Even if I force myself to stay together, I will not be happy in the future. Besides, since Qi Luo has become like this, you can''t possibly abandon her, right? "


    Qiao Xuan wiped away his tears and forced out a smile: "Thank you for everything you''ve done for me, and I wish you two happiness. I''m going to work now, see you later."


    Qiao Xuan passed him, brushed past his shoulder, and left with such determination.


    Sheng Liang was still rooted to the spot, as if he was unable to accept the reality.


    Qiao Xuan drove the car out of the underground parking lot. Seeing that Sheng Liang''s car was no longer outside, she held tightly onto the steering wheel with her fingers, her bones gradually turning white.


    When they arrived at the company, Qiao Xuan walked into her office like before, but discovered that everyone was looking at her with ridiculing and mocking gazes. Only then did she understand how big of an impact public opinion was.


    "Director Qiao, this document needs your signature." The Treasurer smiled at her as he held up a statement.


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan nodded her head and heaved a sigh of relief. At least not everyone liked to follow along.


    She pushed the door open and entered the office. The Treasurer followed her in and locked the door.


    When Qiao Xuan heard the voice and turned back, she was suddenly hugged by him. He was so scared that Qiao Xuan immediately wanted to push him away: "What are you doing!"


    However, the Treasurer did not let go as he panted heavily, "Stop pretending, who doesn''t know what kind of trash you are now? I thought you were really arrogant, but it turns out you are so coquettish. If I knew earlier, I would have already satisfied you."


    Hearing his shameless words, Qiao Xuan felt his dishonest hands begin to grope around his body. Using all his strength, Qiao Xuan pushed him away and slapped him across the face, "You pervert!"


    The Chief of Finance was annoyed, seeing Qiao Xuan staring at him with his eyes wide open, he loosened his tie and walked towards her: "You want to set up a memorial archway as a bitch, now I don''t believe that I can''t subdue you!"


    Seeing him approaching step by step, Qiao Xuan kept backing away until her back suddenly pressed against the table. She saw the phone on the table and immediately wanted to call the person outside.


    How could the Treasurer be willing to give her a chance? He rushed over and grabbed her hand, pushed her down onto the desk, and whispered into her ear, "Right now, everyone knows that you are a mistress, no one will believe you, even if someone comes in, I can say that you seduced me."


    Qiao Xuan''s body was firmly pressed down and she could not move at all. She deeply felt her helplessness, and tears immediately flowed down.


    Seeing her like that, the chief financial officer laughed, "Sheng Liang must be enchanted by your pitiful appearance. Otherwise, why would you have such a great future, even if I have to risk being with you? Don''t worry, I will love you very much too."


    "Scram, scram!" Qiao Xuan suddenly roared hysterically as if someone had ripped his scar.


    The Chief of Finance did not care why she reacted so suddenly, she still pressed down hard, wanting to do as he said, but before he could kiss Qiao Xuan''s face, the door to the office was suddenly kicked open by someone, and Xilin Fu walked in like an evil god from hell.

 C214

    Xilin Fu''s face did not have any expression at all, but ever since he entered, the Treasurer felt as if the temperature of the surrounding had dropped by a few degrees. He immediately stood still and smiled apologetically: "Chairman, I was looking for Director Qiao to sign, she was the one who seduced me ¡­"


    Before he even finished speaking, Xilin Fu had already kicked him to the ground. Before he could even react, Xilin Fu''s foot had ruthlessly stepped on his lifeline.


    "You can''t touch any woman." Xilin Fu said coldly. Only when he was sure that his lower body was crippled did he lift up his leg and rub it against his clothes before withdrawing it.


    The Treasurer''s eyes rolled back. Apparently, he had fainted.


    Xilin Fu walked over and extended his hand to help Qiao Xuan up. Seeing that she was still trembling, he immediately dodged when he touched her and did not force her, taking his hand back: "Don''t work today, I''ll send you home."


    Qiao Xuan also did not say anything, but his body was still shaking uncontrollably.


    Seeing this, Xilin Fu took off his suit jacket, and draped it over her body. "Let''s go."


    He didn''t reach out either, just stood there, waiting for her, patient.


    Qiao Xuan lowered her head, and walked around the people on the ground. Xilin Fu followed behind her, and even after they got into his car, the two of them did not say a word.


    "I don''t want to go home." Qiao Xuan''s expression was a little dazed. "I want to go somewhere devoid of people."


    "Alright." Xilin Fu promised, then drove the car out.


    Along the way, Qiao Xuan only looked outside in a daze, and didn''t move his body. Only her occasionally blinking eyes proved that she wasn''t asleep.


    The car gradually drove out of the city and the scenery outside became unfamiliar. Qiao Xuan then turned and asked: "Where are you bringing me?"


    "You said, there''s no one here." Xilin Fu laughed, then suddenly asked: "Aren''t you afraid, there''s only the two of us, aren''t you afraid that I would bully you?"


    Seeing his probing gaze, Qiao Xuan looked away. "I feel that you''re different from them."


    "What''s different?" Xilin Fu was interested.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I can''t explain it, but I feel like we''ve met before, like we''ve known each other before."


    "Is that so? This is probably fate in the legends." Xilin Fu laughed as if he was in a good mood.


    The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and even the air was extremely fresh. On both sides of the road, there were endless wheat fields, and it was already spring, and even the wheat seedlings had started to turn green.


    The carriage stopped outside a wall. Xilin Fu pressed his horn a few times and the door opened.


    After the car was driven in, a scene from a fairy tale appeared in front of Qiao Xuan''s eyes.


    Qiao Xuan got off the car, and the fragrance of the flowers assaulted her nose, she unknowingly took a few deep breaths.


    "How is it? Do you like this place?" Xilin Fu asked from behind her.


    Qiao Xuan turned around and looked at him: "What kind of place is this, is it yours?"


    Xilin Fu nodded his head: "Over 1000 mu of land, is filled with rare and precious plants, which we use to extract the essential oil."


    Qiao Xuan had looked through the information previously and it did mention that Lan Xi had his own flower base.


    "It''s so beautiful." Qiao Xuan could not help but sigh. Standing here, it was as if he had forgotten about all his troubles.


    Xilin Fu picked a small pink flower and placed it behind Qiao Xuan''s ear, then looked at her and said: "It''s indeed very beautiful."


    His eyes were bright, and he looked at her without blinking, as if he were admiring a work of art.


    Qiao Xuan was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She lowered her head, brushed her hair that had been blown around by the wind, and then slowly walked towards the depths of the flower field.


    Qiao Xuan was inside the ocean of flowers, as if everything between heaven and earth was being held together by these multicolored flowers, and he could not see the boundary.


    She crouched down and approached a flower. She slowly sniffed the fragrance of the flower. It was refreshing.


    Xilin Fu watched from behind and felt that she had already become one with the flowers, becoming so beautiful that it was suffocating.


    He took out his cell phone, captured the scene in front of him and saved it as a wallpaper.


    There was a small house in the middle of the field, and the old man who looked after the flowers and grasses. They did not go back to the house at noon. They ate here with the old man.


    The vegetables were grown by him, and when Qiao Xuan went to pick them, there were still some dewdrops on them.


    Qiao Xuan''s appetite was not bad, and he quickly finished the bowl of rice.


    Taking the chance when the old man was walking out, Qiao Xuan looked at the pictures on the wall. They should be pictures of the old man''s family, she casually asked: "Is he always here by himself, is his family not coming to see him?"


    "He has no family. His wife and daughter died in a shipwreck." Xilin Fu looked at Qiao Xuan, and asked softly, "Did you live in the Sang City since you were young?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head, "No, we moved here from other places. As for the specifics, I don''t remember where, and my parents never mention them either."


    "Then you ¡­" Don''t you remember when you were young? " Xilin Fu''s eyes seemed to hold other emotions.


    Qiao Xuan thought for a while and said, "I think I pretty much forgot everything that happened before I was seven. Even if there was, it seems like it was my parents who told me about it, not my memories."


    Xilin Fu did not continue asking, and only smiled at her.


    For the entire afternoon, Qiao Xuan sat in the flower field in a daze.


    In the early spring, the wind was still a little cold. Xilin Fu''s clothes were still on Qiao Xuan, and he was only wearing a shirt.


    Qiao Xuan said apologetically: "I''m sorry."


    "Fortunately, I was the one who caught the cold, otherwise I would have committed a heinous crime." Xilin Fu said as he sneezed.


    Qiao Xuan asked him to sit in the front passenger seat to rest. She came to the car and asked for his family''s address.


    Actually, even if she didn''t ask, Qiao Xuan knew that she had looked into some of his information. He wasn''t living with his family, he was thirty-six years old, and had never married outside, so he lived alone.


    Qiao Xuan drove very steadily, and after driving for a while, she turned her head and saw Xilin Fu had fallen asleep.


    Qiao Xuan covered him with the jacket and placed his right hand under his neck to let him sleep more comfortably.


    Arriving in front of his mountain villa, Qiao Xuan stopped the car. When he slowly pulled his hand back, Xilin Fu was still shocked.


    When he saw that Qiao Xuan''s hand was still pressed under his neck, he immediately sat down and took her hand out. Seeing the red indentation on her wrist, he lowered his head and blew gently, "Are you numb?"


    After being blown like this, Qiao Xuan''s body felt like it had gone through an electric current. She felt numb all over and quickly retracted her hand.

 C215

    Xilin Fu didn''t make any other movements, and only said to Qiao Xuan: "It''s not good to take a taxi here, take my car back."


    In this kind of matter, Qiao Xuan was always very rational. She did not reject him, and only asked: "Can you do it by yourself? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"


    Xilin Fu laughed: "It''s just a cold, it''s not that serious. Go back quickly.


    Qiao Xuan nodded, seeing Xilin Fu get off the carriage, she turned and headed down the mountain.


    The sky gradually darkened and the leaves of the trees on both sides rustled. Qiao Xuan was also a little nervous, but he didn''t dare to drive too fast.


    Suddenly, a black figure scuttled out, and Qiao Xuan subconsciously stepped on the brakes. However, she still felt that she seemed to have hit something.


    In the light of the headlights, she saw the black figure slumped in front of the car. Startled, she opened the door to check on the situation.


    Who knew that just as she stepped down, someone behind her had already wrapped their arms around her neck and was holding a knife to her neck. "Mobile phone, cash, credit card, all of you!"


    Hearing this fierce voice, Qiao Xuan understood that he had been robbed. The black shadow just now should have been the fake body that he threw out.


    "In my bag." Qiao Xuan did not resist, nor did she panic. She knew that under these circumstances, she could not go head to head with him.


    "Give it here!" the man behind him called out.


    Qiao Xuan pointed to the carriage: "Over there."


    The person behind her pushed her back, "Take it out for me, don''t tell me you want me to do it myself!"


    Just like that, Qiao Xuan''s knife was pressed against his back, he bent over and took out his handbag, passing it to him: All the things that you requested are inside, can I leave now?


    "Tell me your credit card password."


    Qiao Xuan did not hesitate and directly told him.


    As if they didn''t believe it would be so easy, the person behind her held her handbag and was stunned for a long time, then she said, "How would I know if it''s real or fake? Come with me to withdraw the money."


    From here to the bank, there was still a long way to go. She could inevitably see this person''s face, but Qiao Xuan was not sure if he would change his mind and kill them all during this journey.


    She lingered on, not wanting to get into the car, wondering how she could get out of it safely.


    Then, she heard the sound of footsteps walking over, and turned around to see Xilin Fu.


    That person also followed her line of sight, and before he could even see Xilin Fu''s face, his entire person had already been kicked flying by Xilin Fu.


    Seeing that person unable to get up after a long time, Qiao Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his body was held by Xilin Fu, as his quiet and hoarse voice came from above his head, "Are you alright?"


    Qiao Xuan was carried by him into his embrace, and when she touched his body, she couldn''t tell what that feeling was.


    "It''s too dangerous for you to be alone. Why don''t you stay here tonight?" Xilin Fu said softly.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat, but just when she was about to answer, she saw a car driving towards her.


    The car stopped not far away from them. Qiao Xuan adapted to the light for a while, and just as she was able to see what was in front of her, she saw that the person who was walking towards her, was actually Sheng Liang!


    She instinctively supported herself, wanting to keep a distance from Xilin Fu. However, Xilin Fu did not let go.


    Qiao Xuan''s shoulder trembled, but did not move again.


    "Hua''er, I came to pick you up. Let''s go back." Sheng Liang stretched out his hand and looked at Qiao Xuan.


    "Since you''re so free, don''t you have to accompany your fianc¨¦e in the hospital?" Xilin Fu ridiculed, holding tightly onto Qiao Xuan''s hand, he whispered into her ear, "If you go back with him, you will not only be attacked by the public, but the Qi father and son will not let you off."


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan did not move from his position, Sheng Liang frowned and took a few more steps forward. This time, he looked at Xilin Fu and said: "You are also very relaxed, to actually have the leisure to look at your field. Shouldn''t you think about it carefully, and how to deal with the police interrogation?"


    A hint of gloominess gradually spread within Xilin Fu''s eyes as he asked, "What are you talking about?"


    "What did I say? Don''t you know clearly in your heart? Or do you want me to say it out here?" Sheng Liang had already walked in front of them, and with a slight stretch of his hand, he pulled Qiao Xuan to his side, "The person who helped you with something didn''t report to you today, right?"


    Xilin Fu''s eyes turned even darker: "Don''t use such tricks with me, I was the one who played the rest of it."


    The robber finally stood up and ran down the mountain without looking at them.


    Sheng Liang snorted: "Then, is this person considered to be a ready witness?"


    Seeing Xilin Fu''s change in expression, Sheng Liang also did not pay any more attention to him, and pulled Qiao Xuan to his carriage.


    He walked quickly, Qiao Xuan''s hands were tightly grasped by him, and could only run to keep up with his footsteps.


    Xilin Fu watched as Sheng Liang''s carriage drove further and further away, as the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He never would have thought that Sheng Liang would start to counterattack so quickly, looks like he had indeed learned quite a few things over the years.


    Sheng Liang only let go of Qiao Xuan''s hand after they reached the bottom of the mountain, but Qiao Xuan still sensed that his palms were sweating just now.


    "Do you have evidence for what you just said?" Qiao Xuan guessed that he was actually lying to Xilin Fu.


    "I will have proof. Until then, don''t go near him." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan seriously.


    Qiao Xuan turned his head, and looked towards the completely pitch black night outside: "We have already parted ways, whoever I go near is my freedom."


    "Stop being angry at me," Sheng Liang said in a low voice, carrying a trace of helplessness. "I won''t marry Qi Luo, I can use any method to compensate her, and I can also take care of her for the rest of her life, but, the one I want to marry is you."


    However, he had calmed himself down and thought very clearly that love was neither sympathy nor guilt. Marrying Qi Luo was not an act of responsibility towards her.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart skipped a beat, but he still didn''t turn his head. "What''s the use of saying all these, I don''t want to be pointed at and cursed at all times by others."


    "Give me some time. I will settle this matter well." Sheng Liang held her hand again.


    Qiao Xuan looked out of the window with a face slightly moved, but she still took her hand out, "It''s not every single time, I will believe your words."


    Sheng Liang knew, that it was just as she had said. The matter of a child, was always like a thorn between them.


    The two of them spoke all the way until they were at the entrance of the residential complex. Sheng Liang stopped the car, and just as Qiao Xuan was about to push open the car door and get out, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Sheng Liang.

 C216

    "You can choose to not believe me, you can choose not to forgive me. I only beg you, it''s too dangerous for him to leave Xilin Fu''s side." Right now, he was sure that Xilin Fu did everything he could to get Qiao Xuan to come to his side in order to use Qiao Xuan as a hostage so that he wouldn''t have to throw rats.


    "Sheng Liang..." Originally, she had wanted to take this opportunity to pretend to break up with him, just like him, so that Xilin Fu could trust her even more.


    However, she was not as rational as Sheng Liang. Looking at how depressed he was due to the misunderstanding, she finally couldn''t harden her heart.


    She slowly put her arm around his waist and nodded slightly. "I understand."


    Sheng Liang kissed her forehead and let out a shallow sigh of relief. Looking at her expression, he finally understood that she had said those words on purpose: "Rest at home for a few days. Don''t do anything.


    If it was possible, Qiao Xuan really wished to shoulder the burden with him, but she had felt what happened just now. She would only become a burden to Sheng Liang, and let him have some scruples.


    "Then you have to be careful." Qiao Xuan grabbed his arm and said. Seeing him frown due to the pain, she remembered that he still had injuries on his arm, and immediately let him go, "Sorry, let me see, is it bleeding?"


    Sheng Liang pressed down on her hand instead. "This isn''t important, I had thought that you were really blaming me."


    Qiao Xuan retorted, "It''s not like it''s the first day that I met you."


    She had already known what kind of character he had. Especially Xilin Fu shouldn''t have used their child to frame Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan knew that, but it was also a thorn in his heart. He would definitely not do something like that.


    Sheng Liang felt very gratified, he had never wished for anyone to believe in him. It was only Qiao Xuan, who was unwilling to let her misunderstand him.


    "I''m going back." Although he was reluctant, Qiao Xuan could tell that Sheng Liang was already very tired and didn''t want to disturb his rest. He turned around and walked a few steps, then came back and said to Sheng Liang, "Today, when Xilin Fu was about to take me out, he suddenly asked me if I remembered anything from when I was young. Furthermore, I keep having this feeling that I seem to have known him before, but I don''t remember where I saw him before."


    This feeling was different from the feeling when he had met Shengyan. It wasn''t that his memories had overlapped, but that he really didn''t remember this person.


    Sheng Liang''s face sank, but when he raised his head, he still said to Qiao Xuan gently: "Don''t think too much, go back and sleep well. In a few days, Luo Jie and Qing Qing will be married, and you still have to be the bridesmaid."


    Qiao Xuan''s attention was immediately diverted away, and he said in shock: "Qing Qing wants me as his bridesmaid?"


    But she had no experience at all.


    "Qing Qing doesn''t have any friends or relatives here. Sheng Liang looked at her and said, "Are you not willing?"


    "I''m willing!" Qiao Xuan immediately said, after that, when he saw Sheng Liang smiling, he reacted and immediately turned back, "I''m going back, you should go back to sleep earlier too."


    In a place where Sheng Liang couldn''t see, Qiao Xuan secretly laughed. Those three words were like the vows at a wedding, Sheng Liang must have made her answer that way on purpose.


    Watching her walk into the corridor, Sheng Liang''s smile slowly faded.


    Xilin Fu, did you already know him?


    Not going home, Sheng Liang drove to the hospital. Qi Mingyu was not there, and only Qi Chu was sitting on a bench in the corridor with his head lowered, pressing his phone.


    Sheng Liang slowly walked over, and stood in front of Qi Chu and said: "You can go back, I''ll guard here."


    Qi Chu didn''t even raise his head, his tone was extremely cold. "After coaxing your woman, you''re acting like an infatuated boyfriend again? Even if Little Luo turns into this, my family still has the ability to support her for the rest of her life, so you don''t need to pretend. The reason my dad said that was because marrying you was Little Luo''s wish. Furthermore, since Little Luo was harmed like this by you, I won''t allow you to abandon her.


    Sheng Liang had to admit, no matter what shady business Qi Chu was doing behind the scenes, he treated his little sister very well.


    "I''ve contacted a few brain specialists from overseas and they suggested that we send Little Luo to a hospital abroad. If you have no objections, I''ll immediately help her with the procedures." No matter what Qi Chu said, Sheng Liang still spoke politely.


    Qi Chu finally looked up at him and said with a cold smile: "Do you think I don''t know what you''re thinking about? Send Little Luo overseas and that Miss Qiao of yours will be spared from public opinion. I''m telling you, don''t even think about it!"


    "Qi Chu..." Although he was selfish, wanting to cure Qi Luo was also true.


    Qi Chu stood up and walked to the transparent window. Looking at Qi Luo who was still unconscious, he said: "I regret letting her get close to you a few years ago, she''s so pure, and I even hoped that she would retreat safely. If I didn''t meet you, she wouldn''t be like this today, and Qiao Xuan as well, if not for her presence, you and Little Luo would both be married now.


    "It has nothing to do with Qiao Xuan, and what''s more, I wanted to tell you, Xiao Luo didn''t jump down by himself, but was pushed down by someone." Sheng Liang looked at Qi Chu who turned to look at him with a face of disbelief, and said, "The child next to your house saw it on the balcony, but now, his entire family has disappeared. I''m not trying to shirk responsibility, but I''m sure you don''t want the real killer to get away with it. "


    Qi Chu frowned, then walked to the side and made a call.


    This time, it was not Sheng Liang''s plan, but if Qi Chu found out that the one directing them from behind the scenes was Xilin Fu, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to him.


    Walking out of the hospital, Sheng Liang looked at the sky outside. It was a complete darkness without a single star or moon.


    However, he knew that after dawn, there would be a new dawn.


    On the second day, Qiao Xuan did not go to work again, nor did Xilin Fu call. Qiao Xuan thought that Sheng Liang had hit the nail on the head with the truth.


    During dinner, Qiao Xuan looked at his mother and casually asked, "Mom, last time I looked at the photo albums, I didn''t see a picture when I was six. Why didn''t I see one?"


    There had been one before and one after that, but one year was missing.


    Qiao¡¯s mother was suddenly startled, his expression somewhat panicked, but he quickly forced out a smile and said: "It should have been torn by Xiao Nan.


    This reason should not have any loopholes, but Qiao Xuan caught a glimpse of his mother''s trembling hand that was holding the bowl as she said those words.


    Qiao¡¯s father noticed Qiao Xuan''s gaze and immediately pressed down on his arm and said: "Do you still have anything else? Go and help me fill another bowl."

 C217

    Qiao¡¯s mother became aware of his panic and replied as he stood up and headed to the kitchen.


    Qiao¡¯s father smiled and asked Qiao Xuan: "Isn''t the new company good? Why don''t you go to work again?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was changing the topic, but she did not expose him. "Sheng Liang doesn''t like it when I go to that place."


    Qiao¡¯s father frowned: "You haven''t even married him and you''re already obedient to him. If you were to get married in the future, he wouldn''t cherish you."


    "I also don''t see you not cherishing my mother either." Qiao Xuan retorted.


    Qiao¡¯s father choked and sighed after a long while, "Silly girl, if you get angry in the future, don''t come home and cry to me."


    Qiao Xuan laughed: "If I didn''t look for you, who would I look for? After all, you are my father."


    When Qiao¡¯s father heard this, his eyes actually reddened for a moment, and then repeated: "Silly girl."


    After finishing his meal, Qiao Xuan returned to his room. Qiao¡¯s mother was in a daze as she muttered to herself: "Tell me, why did Hua''er suddenly ask this question? Did she remember anything?"


    "It shouldn''t be. It''s been so long. She was so young then, so it''s normal for her to not remember. She might have just asked casually." The Qiao¡¯s father comforted her.


    Qiao¡¯s mother was still frowning. "That child from back then is now in his thirties. Could it be that he found Hua Er?"


    "How could that be? It''s already been more than ten years, and Hua''er looks different from when she was young. Furthermore, we have moved here, so how could he possibly find her?" Qiao¡¯s father patted Qiao¡¯s mother on the shoulder and said, "This matter cannot be told to Hua''er. We must rot inside our stomachs, we cannot speak of it for the rest of our lives."


    Qiao¡¯s mother nodded: "I understand."


    He hoped that Hua''er would never know about him, and never remember that nightmarish experience ever again.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t hear what her parents were saying, she once again took out the photo album and flipped through it one by one. The old photos were all printed with the time of the photo shoot, so she was sure that she couldn''t find the picture of her when she was six years old.


    If she had been torn apart or under special circumstances, she would have been able to understand. However, her parents'' reactions just now were clearly different.


    And from their attitude, she knew that she wouldn''t be able to get anything out of them.


    Although, even if she didn''t know about it after so many years, she could still live a good life. People were indeed curious, especially when the beginning of this matter was mentioned by outsiders.


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers caressed the photographs, when suddenly her eyes lit up. She discovered that on the photo taken on her seventh birthday, it was summer, so she was wearing a flowery dress and there seemed to be some shadows on her wrist. She flipped through the photo again after she was seven years old, and the mark grew lighter and lighter, until she was eleven years old.


    She suddenly felt her heart throb. She immediately went to find the magnifying glass and looked carefully to see what kind of mark it was. She unexpectedly discovered that it must have been caused by something that had been tied up for a long time!


    This discovery did not scare Qiao Xuan. Could she have been abused by someone when she was six years old?


    She was sure it was definitely not her parents, but why did they hide it, why didn''t they call the police, why didn''t they secretly help her seek justice, why did they even need to cover up for this person?


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t understand. She felt her mind was in a mess, and it was faintly painful, so she closed the album and put it back gently.


    Forget it, let''s not think about it anymore. Since her parents didn''t want her to know, they should be doing it for her own good. Why did she have to dig it out?


    Inside Sheng Liang''s villa, he was a little surprised to see Luo Jie''s appearance. "Why are you here?" Wasn''t he supposed to be preparing for the wedding?


    Luo Jie scratched his head and laughed: "Young Master Liang has already been arranged for me, I don''t have much to prepare. I heard that you asked Officer Ling to help you investigate Xilin Fu, since Officer Ling is so busy, I went to investigate."


    "What did you find?" Sheng Liang leaned back on the sofa with the coffee cup in one hand.


    Luo Jie shook his head: "Maybe I don''t have the information you''re looking for, I only know that Xilin Fu was abducted by a trafficker when he was young, and only after he turned twenty did he return with Xilin Family. However, he was pushed back by his other brothers and sisters, and many years later, he lived alone outside the country. However, there was a rumour that the scar on his face was hit by a heavy object in a huge fire, but it''s impossible to find it. "


    Sheng Liang slowly sipped his coffee. He did not comment at all on what Luo Jie had said.


    "Young Master Liang," Seeing that he did not react, Luo Jie thought that he was not listening and called him to ask, "Do you still want to continue the investigation?"


    "Don''t worry about it." Even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn''t let him, a bridegroom, run errands again.


    Luo Jie saw that Sheng Liang had walked to the french windows and looked outside, but did not move for a long time. He knew that Sheng Liang did not want to be disturbed while he was thinking about things, so he silently closed the door and left.


    Sheng Liang stood by the window with his hands in his pockets, but his gaze did not rest on the actual scene. A few memories of the past flashed past his eyes like footlights, one by one, and finally froze on the face of the hellish god.


    Some people, even if they only met for a short period of time, would be able to affect their entire lives.


    After a few days, it would be Luo Jie''s and Qing Qing''s wedding. Everything would be arranged by Sheng Liang, and the wedding would be as dreamy as a prince and princess'' castle.


    As the bridesmaid, Qiao Xuan was also a dutiful man. He was afraid that if he missed something, he would screw up the wedding, and by the time they finally finished holding the ceremony, Qiao Xuan would be so tired that he would collapse.


    In a small resting room, Sheng Liang took off her high heels and squatted in front of her, gently massaging her feet.


    Although her feet were really painful, Qiao Xuan didn''t want others to see Sheng Liang doing this for her. She pulled him along and said, "Stop pressing, just wait a while."


    However, Sheng Liang acted as if he did not hear it, and continued to massage her body, and raised his head to ask her: "What do you think about their wedding?"


    Qiao Xuan revealed an envious expression and said: "Luo Jie is so good to Qing Qing."


    "Am I not nice to you?" Sheng Liang frowned and asked.


    "You ¡­ "It''s fine." Qiao Xuan smiled. Following what the Qiao¡¯s father said, she did not praise him, in case he was too proud.


    Sheng Liang sat at the side and carried her onto his lap, kissing her cheeks: "When we get married, you will know how good I am."


    Although the ceremony had ended, the banquet had only just started. Qiao Xuan was afraid that someone would suddenly come in, so he pushed Sheng Liang with a blushing face: "Quickly put me down, someone will see me."


    "No one will come here." Sheng Liang said softly, his kiss still lingering on Qiao Xuan''s neck.


    Just as he finished his sentence, he heard someone say, "Looks like I''ve interrupted your plans."


    When Qiao Xuan heard this quiet and hoarse voice, he suddenly raised his head and saw that Xilin Fu had already pushed open the unlocked door.

 C218

    When Sheng Liang saw him, her face immediately darkened. He gently put Qiao Xuan down, stood up and blocked her way: "What can I do for you, Seventh Elder?"


    Sheng Liang''s eyes were filled with gloominess, and it seemed as if the surrounding air was about to congeal.


    Xilin Fu was still smiling, but because of the terrifying scar on his face, his smile was extremely terrifying.


    "I wanted to give something to Miss Qiao, but I was unable to find the chance. Thus, I had no choice but to appear at this wedding." Xilin Fu said calmly. Seeing that Qiao Xuan had also stood up, he handed over a box in his hands.


    Sheng Liang''s eyes darkened, he did not let Qiao Xuan go forward. He took the box from Xilin Fu''s hands and slowly opened it.


    Through the transparent glass, one could see a splendid castle. A little girl in a beautiful dress was dancing in the castle. He unconsciously played the reed, and an ancient melody resounded. It was clear and pure.


    Hearing this song, Qiao Xuan''s heart seemed to be moved. A few memory fragments flashed past her mind, she wanted to grab hold of them, but she was unable to find anything.


    "Sheng Liang..." Qiao Xuan held tightly onto Sheng Liang''s clothes. She didn''t know why, but she felt afraid.


    Sheng Liang turned his head and placed his hand on the back of her hand, reassuring her.


    However, Qiao Xuan''s reaction was still seen through by him. He asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Does Miss Qiao find this piece of music pleasant?"


    "I ¡­" Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to describe it, and uncontrollably panicked in his heart.


    Sheng Liang sensed her emotions, so he grabbed her hand without letting go, and then looked up at Xilin Fu and said: "I''ve accepted the things, do you have anything else?"


    Seeing that Sheng Liang was obviously being ordered to leave, Xilin Fu did not have the slightest intention of leaving. It just so happened that at this time, Luo Jie walked in and called out: "Young Master Liang, Miss Qiao, aren''t you going to go eat something? "Eh, this is?"


    Seeing Luo Jie looking at his retreating back with a puzzled expression, Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan and said to him: "We''re going out, please do as you please."


    Xilin Fu''s gaze stopped on Qiao Xuan as he watched her walk past him. There was a look of bewilderment in his eyes, but he didn''t have any expression on his face. Only until the door closed did the corners of his mouth slightly raised.


    Once they were outside, Sheng Liang let Luo Jie leave first. She even gave the music box to: "Let me play with."


    Luo Jie didn''t know what the situation was, he only knew that this object was extremely valuable. He originally wanted to reject it, but when he looked up and saw that Sheng Liang''s gaze was already on Qiao Xuan, he didn''t say anything further and tactfully walked away.


    "What''s the matter with you?" Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand, and even now, he could still feel her fingers trembling.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I don''t know, that tune seems very familiar, I feel that I have heard it somewhere before, but I can''t remember when I heard it."


    Moreover, even though it was clearly a light tune, she still felt her entire body inexplicably shiver.


    Sheng Liang hugged her gently: "Don''t think too much into it. That song was very ordinary. It wouldn''t be weird to hear it."


    Although he knew that this matter was not that simple, he could only console Qiao Xuan.


    Sheng Liang''s embrace gave Qiao Xuan a huge sense of security, and she slowly calmed down before following him to eat lunch together.


    Luo Jie was very considerate and especially thanked Sheng Liang. He even allowed Sheng Liang to speak a few words with him, but he was actually rejected, and he did not feel awkward at all. Instead, he pulled Qing Qing''s hand and said to Sheng Liang: "Thank you, Young Master Liang, for handing Qing Qing over to me, I will treat her well for the rest of my life."


    Qiao Xuan saw that Qing Qing''s eyes were red. When they came over to toast, Qing Qing pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand and said: "I have also given my husband to Miss Qiao. I hope you can take good care of him. "Betrayed him."


    Hearing Qing Qing''s request, Qiao Xuan unconsciously glanced at Sheng Liang. He was just about to drink a cup of wine, and then, his eyes were a little tipsy. Although he didn''t have any expression on his face, Qiao Xuan knew that it was definitely difficult to suppress his emotions.


    "I will." Qiao Xuan smiled at Qing Qing.


    Qiao Xuan had always felt that Qing Qing''s thoughts were very simple. Because Sheng Liang was good to her, she was good to Sheng Liang as well.


    But she didn''t expect that Qing Qing actually understood Sheng Liang''s loneliness. About every time she saw Sheng Liang in a daze, she really wanted to console him, but she couldn''t compare to it.


    After the wedding, because Sheng Liang was drunk and could not drive, he had no choice but to drive him home first and then take a taxi.


    When they got in the car, Qiao Xuan had already carefully helped him lower his seat, and seeing that he was lying there with his eyes closed, her brows slightly knitted, she held his hand and asked: "Are you alright, do you want to vomit?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head, and leaned towards her: "It''s nothing, I''m just a little dizzy."


    "Who asked you to drink so much, even red wine is wine." Although Qiao Xuan scolded him, he still massaged his forehead with a hand that was filled with heartache.


    Sheng Liang pulled her hand and kissed her fingertip before releasing her. "I''m fine, drive properly."


    "Then go to sleep for a while, I''ll call you when it''s time." Qiao Xuan pulled up the jacket that was covering him.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang replied and quickly fell into a deep sleep.


    She understood why Sheng Liang unconsciously drank so much wine. He truly treated Qing Qing as his own sister, and although he felt a lot of reluctance to part with her, he was not good at expressing himself.


    Reaching home, he drove the car into the courtyard. Seeing that Sheng Liang was sleeping, Qiao Xuan did not have the heart to wake him up. After hesitating for a while, she whispered into his ear: "Sheng Liang, we are home."


    Sheng Liang turned his body over, and wrapped his arms around her neck, as he spoke with a voice as shallow as a whisper, "Don''t go."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart seemed to have been grabbed by someone in an instant, it was as soft as a pool of water.


    However, when she was carried into the room and pressed down on the big bed, Qiao Xuan realized that she had made the wrong decision.


    He kissed her passionately, a little tyrannically and savagely, not at all like his usual self.


    The fragrance of the red wine pervaded the air between their lips. Qiao Xuan felt that he had also been drunk.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up the next day, he had already left for the company. He had also left a note and personally made breakfast for her.


    Qiao Xuan got up, showered and changed his clothes. When he walked into the kitchen, he saw that Yue Yang had fried two eggs into the shape of his heart and placed a sausage on both his hearts.


    This kind of sweet feeling was like a newlywed wife. When Qiao Xuan thought of this word, his face flushed slightly.


    After eating breakfast, Qiao Xuan went back to her house. When she opened the door, she saw her mother quickly walking out, called her mother, and was about to return to her room, but was stopped by her mother.

 C219

    "Where did you go last night?" The Qiao¡¯s mother asked with a dark expression.


    Qiao Xuan thought about how she forgot to call her parents yesterday. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she lowered her head and said softly: "Sorry, mom, I went over to Sheng Liang''s place. I forgot to tell you guys."


    Originally, he thought that he would be fine with the explanation, but who knew that Qiao¡¯s mother''s face would turn even uglier: "Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang, your mind is currently filled with men, you don''t need to think about anything anymore. Don''t you know what kind of people are scolding you right now? Did Sheng Liang come out to explain to you? But Hua''er, no matter how capable you are, you are still a girl. Every now and then, you would just go to Sheng Liang''s house and spend the night there.


    Furthermore, she did not dare believe that her mother would actually say such a thing to her. She could not help but retort: "I have never cared about reputation and such things like things, I am not Xiao San, and I did not separate anyone. I am an adult, I have the ability to judge right from wrong, and I also have the right to control my own body!"


    Just as Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he slapped her across the face and said resentfully, "I raised you for more than twenty years, so I didn''t let you talk about rights with me. Since you are so unfaithful to yourself, what happens if Sheng Liang doesn''t want you anymore?!"


    Qiao Xuan''s mind was buzzing, her blood boiling, she said with a sneer: "That''s also my own business, it has nothing to do with you guys."


    As Qiao Xuan said that, he ignored his mother''s reaction and returned to his room. The door was slammed shut and the sound was deafening.


    Qiao¡¯s mother stood on the spot, looking at his own hands, he was a little dumbfounded.


    Just now, she had actually hit Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan lied on the bed. Thinking back to all these years, it was the first time her mother hit her, and even said those kinds of words that hurt her, her tears couldn''t stop flowing and quickly soaked the bed sheets.


    Ever since she went to school, her grades had always been outstanding. In high school, she had skipped two grades consecutively, entered university at the age of sixteen, and was escorted abroad. After returning home, she directly went to Golden Age Group to be their chief financial officer.


    And now, just because of some gossip, my mother actually said such harsh words.


    Wasn''t she their own daughter?


    With this thought, Qiao Xuan was shocked, and immediately thought about the photo. Although the injuries might not have been caused by them, they definitely hid something extremely important from her.


    Qiao Xuan got off the bed, packed some important things and opened the door. Seeing that her mother was no longer in the living room, she went out with her backpack.


    She wanted to go back to the city forest where they used to live and find her primary school teacher and maybe learn something.


    Actually, she always remembered the place they used to live, but when Xilin Fu asked her that, she lied on purpose.


    Riding on the high-speed train from Sang City to the ancient forest, Qiao Xuan took a taxi at the train station for about an hour and told them the location of the previous primary school. Although this city had changed a lot, fortunately, the location of the school hadn''t changed.


    However, when she found that place, the principal told her that the teacher had retired and that the address left in the school was several years ago. She wondered if he was still there.


    Although the hope was slim, Qiao Xuan had already come here, so he naturally still wanted to see the result.


    However, she did not want her parents to worry, so even though she did not tell her mother, she still called her father, telling him that she had matters to attend to and would be leaving the Sang City for a few days, so he did not need to worry.


    But when the Qiao¡¯s mother realized that she was not in her room, he immediately called her, and realised that her phone was turned off. Especially when he heard that the Qiao¡¯s father had returned and said that Qiao Xuan had left the Sang City, he immediately started crying: "It''s all my fault, it''s all my fault, how can I call her ¡­."


    Qiao¡¯s father was also dumbstruck when she heard her words, but seeing how excited she was crying, she did not ask further. She only realized how serious the situation was and suggested, "How about you give Sheng Liang a call and ask him?"


    "Right, right, right. Hurry and call her. Maybe she went to look for Sheng Liang." Qiao¡¯s mother immediately stopped crying and urged him.


    Sheng Liang was in a meeting right now, so there were some issues with the movie format they had released previously. There was no way for them to release it during Valentine''s Day, it would definitely cause a lot of losses if it was released later. But until now, they still did not have a good solution.


    The phone on the table vibrated a few times. Seeing that it was the Qiao¡¯s father''s number, he told them to continue, then took it and walked out.


    "Sheng Liang, let me ask you, is Hua''er with you?" Qiao¡¯s father asked carefully.


    Sheng Liang was startled: "Didn''t she go home?"


    Since the last time he was secretly taken pictures, Sheng Liang had set up a surveillance system at home, which allowed him to see the situation at home through his phone at any time. Before the meeting, he had checked, and after seeing Qiao Xuan eat breakfast, he had already left.


    When Qiao¡¯s father heard Sheng Liang''s tone, he knew that Qiao Xuan had not gone to find him, and his heart sank unknowingly, "She did come back. Then, she quarreled with her mother for a while, and her mother even attacked ¡­ I hit her and she left... Sheng Liang, can you help us find her? "


    Now, they really had no idea where Qiao Xuan would go, nor did they know if she had any other friends to contact.


    Sheng Liang frowned: "Can I ask, why did aunty hit her?"


    Qiao¡¯s mother was right beside her. She naturally heard Sheng Liang''s words and her tears kept falling, "It''s all my fault. I''ve been in a bad mood recently and I''ve also seen those news online. I don''t know why ¡­"


    In these past few days, because Qiao Xuan had asked them about the photo, she had always suspected that Qiao Xuan had thought of something, but was also worried that the young man had come looking for them.


    Last night, when Qiao Xuan didn''t come back for an entire night, and didn''t call them, she lost control of her worry and anxiety in an instant. Not only did he scold her, he even made a move on her.


    After listening to the sequence of events, Sheng Liang lightly said: "I''m sorry, but this matter happened because I didn''t handle it properly. Uncle and Auntie, don''t worry, I will get Hua''er back, you guys don''t need to go anywhere, just wait for my news at home."


    After hearing them say hello, Sheng Liang hung up the phone, but he did not realize that he had fallen into deep thought.


    He knew that Qiao Xuan wasn''t someone who would act on impulse. Even if she had quarreled with the Qiao¡¯s mother, it was impossible for her to leave home, but in the Sang City, she didn''t seem to have any friends. Where could she go?


    Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind him. A woman walked over and patted his shoulder.

 C220

    Sheng Liang turned his head, and seeing that it was Zhao Xiaowei, he suddenly thought of something.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t beat around the bush. He smiled and said: "I have a way to deal with stuff of the same grade, but I want to get a reward from the Young Master Liang."


    "I agree to any rewards, and tell me where Sheng Qian is." Sheng Liang''s voice was somewhat urgent.


    Zhao Xiaowei blinked and looked at him in disbelief: "How does Young Master Liang know that the reward I want is related to Sheng Qian?"


    There was no time to discuss this issue with her, so Sheng Liang asked again: "Where is Sheng Qian?"


    "In my car." Zhao Xiaowei didn''t understand why he asked so anxiously to find out where Sheng Qian was. Wasn''t he supposed to be more concerned about matters of the future now?


    But before she could ask, Sheng Liang had already walked out.


    Zhao Xiaowei''s car was parked right in front of the company''s gate. When he walked over, he saw Sheng Qian struggling to hold onto the rope with his teeth, but it was obvious that doing that would only be useless.


    Sheng Qian''s hands were tied, one end of the rope was tied to the roof, and the other end was very short, so Sheng Qian could only squat on the carriage and not stand up or sit down.


    When Sheng Liang opened the door of the car, he saw Sheng Qian''s miserable state.


    Sheng Qian, the Demon King of Confusion, was probably the only one who was his nemesis.


    Sheng Qian had never thought that he would be seen by Sheng Liang in his current state, it was truly a disgrace. Just a moment ago, he was jumping up and down and wanted to pull the rope away, but he was covered in sweat due to the heat, his face also flushed red. When he saw Sheng Liang, his face immediately darkened: "Are you here to make fun of me?"


    Sheng Liang did not reply. He was not in the mood to watch anyone make a joke about him, it was just that the scene in front of him was a little shocking.


    Furthermore, with Sheng Qian''s hands tied up, it would be more convenient for him to do what he wanted. He extended his hand and searched through his body, not even noticing Sheng Qian''s expression, which was close to spitting blood.


    At first, Sheng Qian thought that Sheng Liang was deliberately humiliating him, that''s why she kept groping around him. When she saw Sheng Liang taking the phone from his pocket, she finally understood something, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing, give it back to me!"


    Sheng Liang grabbed his wrist, pressed each of his fingers onto his phone, undid the screen, and then got out of the car. No matter how Sheng Qian shouted and cursed, he still checked the contents of his phone quickly and finally found what he was looking for.


    At that time, Sheng Liang was in the hospital with an injury. Sheng Qian removed his wrist, but when he came back from Tibet, he found an excuse to put it on Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan was shocked.


    Sheng Liang had always known about this matter. Even though he was somewhat envious in his heart, if he had insisted on Qiao Xuan taking it down, not only would it seem petty, it would also definitely make Qiao Xuan feel disgusted, so he had never mentioned it.


    He found Qiao Xuan''s location, and indeed, she left the Sang City for the ancient forest. But just what was she doing there?


    "Give me back my phone, bastard!" Sheng Qian kicked his leg, but because of his posture, his movements looked somewhat comical.


    Sheng Liang didn''t pay any more attention to him and threw the phone into the car, then left.


    Sheng Qian looked down and was shocked. Qiao Xuan had left the Sang City?


    Qiao Xuan, who was in the distant forest, still didn''t know that everyone was looking for her. She thought that just because she called her father, they would be able to relax.


    She found the original address of her teacher, but the house in that part of town had long since been demolished, and now that it was an office building, she couldn''t help but feel discouraged.


    From the looks of it, she was probably going to get nothing.


    "Little girl, do you want more bottles?"


    When Qiao Xuan heard the voice, he raised his head and saw a janitor grandpa pointing at the bottle of water in her hand.


    The cleaner thanked her and asked, "Little girl, are you looking for a job? I think you''ve been standing here for a long time."


    "No, I''m looking for someone." Qiao Xuan turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Excuse me, do you know which village was destroyed before?"


    "I know," the cleaner said with a smile. "I''m from that village."


    Qiao Xuan was surprised, and immediately felt like he was struck by lightning, "Then do you know Ms Fang?"


    "Of course I know her. She''s Ms Fang from Red Star Primary School, right?" The cleaner looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "You are her student too, you guys are going to have a reunion with her. Someone had come to look for her before."


    The cleaner still had something to say, but Qiao Xuan could not care to listen any longer and immediately asked for his new address, then called for a taxi.


    Standing in front of Ms Fang''s door, Qiao Xuan could not help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart. She did not know what kind of news she would hear later.


    When he raised his hand and pressed the doorbell, someone inside opened the door. An old lady with a head full of white hair stuck her head out and upon seeing her, was momentarily stunned. "Qiao Xuan?"


    Qiao Xuan recognized that the old lady was Ms Fang. It was just that she was a little surprised that Ms Fang was able to recognize her after so many years?


    However, she still nodded politely, "Hello, Ms Fang. I am Qiao Xuan."


    Ms Fang obviously hesitated for a moment before opening the door a little, "Come in."


    Qiao Xuan walked in and Ms Fang asked her to sit down. She poured a cup of water for her and said with a light smile, "It''s been so many years since you''ve grown up."


    "Thank you, Ms Fang, for remembering me." When she had arrived, she had brought with her the picture of her childhood. She was afraid that Ms Fang would not remember who she was, but she had not expected her to recognize her at first glance.


    Hearing her say this, Ms Fang lowered her head, a forced smile on her face. After some time, she finally said, "Actually, it''s because someone came to me a few days ago with your picture and asked me about your matters when you were young."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank. "Who is it?"


    Ms Fang shook her head, "I don''t know, but I didn''t tell her. I said I didn''t know you."


    Qiao Xuan frowned slightly, but she had already guessed in her heart that the person who was so interested in her childhood must be Xilin Fu. Him sending people to investigate her was not a big surprise.


    "Ms Fang, there''s something I want to ask you as well." Qiao Xuan turned his cup and gathered up his courage to ask, "Do you remember the injury on my wrist when I was young?"


    Ms Fang raised her head to look at her, but quickly averted her gaze, "It''s been so long; how could I possibly remember?"


    Qiao Xuan was already prepared, he immediately took out the photo and placed it in front of Ms Fang, pointing at the wrist on the photo and said, "Please think carefully, see if you can think of anything."


    Ms Fang glanced at the photo before quickly moving away, "I have no impression of it now."


    It had been more than ten years, so it was normal that she didn''t remember. Qiao Xuan changed the topic and asked: "Am I not a child who was kidnapped?"

 C221

    "Of course not!" Ms Fang was very certain that her dodging attitude was different from before.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was finally at ease, seeing that there was nothing that could be obtained from Ms Fang, the two exchanged greetings for a while, then Qiao Xuan left.


    After leaving Ms Fang''s house, it was hard to tell if Qiao Xuan was disappointed or relieved. Although she did not ask for anything during the trip, she had at least dispelled her last bit of suspicions.


    Qiao Xuan walked along the side of the street. After walking a long distance, he realized that he had arrived at a completely unfamiliar path.


    She stood in place, looked around, and knew that it was impossible to catch a taxi here, then walked forward again. In the meantime, she opened her phone only to see that her parents and Sheng Liang had called her so many times.


    Just as she was about to call them back, Sheng Liang called again. She immediately picked up the call, but before she could say anything, she heard Sheng Liang''s nervous voice: "Where are you?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that she had shut him down and made him worry, so he said lightly: "Sorry, I didn''t tell you. I came to the forest because I have something to do, I''ll be back very soon."


    "I want to ask you where in the forest," Sheng Liang said in a slightly calmer tone, "Which road or street?"


    Qiao Xuan''s footsteps suddenly stopped. "You ¡­ You came to the forest too? "


    Sheng Liang declined to comment. He had been calling her ever since he entered the city, and only then did he regret it, and not return the phone to Sheng Qian. He was too anxious, and thought that he could find her after knowing that she was in the forest.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the road sign on the side and told Sheng Liang her location. Then, he heard Sheng Liang saying, "Stay there and don''t move, I''ll be there shortly."


    She was standing next to the overpass when she heard a cry and turned to see a little beggar kneeling on the ground, wailing and shaking the cardboard box in his hand. There was not much change in it.


    At that time, it was already noon. There were very few people passing by, and when Qiao Xuan saw a man who passed by and threw money into the little beggar''s box, she subconsciously took out her wallet.


    Qiao Xuan walked over, bent down, and placed a hundred dollar bill into the little beggar''s cardboard box. The little beggar raised his head and looked at her, and only then did Qiao Xuan realize that half of the child''s face was covered with burns, and it should be a new injury.


    She couldn''t help but frown, because the child was too young, perhaps five or six years old.


    It wasn''t that she hadn''t seen the news, but she knew that many of these beggars were actually children stolen by traffickers. They had deliberately injured them and sent them to places with large numbers of people to ask for money.


    Although she didn''t want to encourage them, if she didn''t give them the money, this child wouldn''t be able to complete his mission and would be beaten up when he returned. Qiao Xuan knew that she wouldn''t change anything, but he still asked softly: "Where''s your parents, do you need my help?"


    If he did, she could at least help him call the police.


    Ever since she lost that child, she had been unable to bear to see such things ever since.


    The child just looked at her with a dull gaze. Then, he suddenly grabbed her hand.


    Qiao Xuan thought that the child wanted her to save him and bring him away, but when she straightened her body and tried to pull him up, the child was still holding onto her tightly.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned, then she saw that two men were approaching her. She turned her head, and there were also people behind her blocking their way.


    She looked down at the child who was still tugging at her and realized that he didn''t want her to go. He wanted them to catch her.


    This realization pained Qiao Xuan. This child had obviously been brainwashed by these people, or maybe he was scared.


    Qiao Xuan was very clear about her current situation. If she were to be captured by these people, it would be unknown where she would be sold to, so she wanted to delay time as much as possible. Sheng Liang should be arriving soon.


    Seeing someone walk past her, she was just about to shout, but one of the men directly slapped her, glared and roared: "You scalded your son to such a state, I didn''t even scold you. Instead, you took your child and ran away from the hospital, and even told your son to beg for food here, this is how you act as a mother!"


    Qiao Xuan was stunned, and when he heard the man''s words, he was really shocked. When he said it like that, everyone thought it was a family conflict, even if they took her away, no one would stop them!


    "I don''t know you, and I don''t know this child!" Qiao Xuan knew that it was useless, but she still tried to explain, hoping that someone would understand that this was a trap.


    However, the child hugged her and cried, "Mom, let''s go back."


    The other men also pretended to persuade her, "Sister-in-law knows she''s in the wrong. It''s alright now, let''s go home."


    Seeing these people coming and pulling on her, Qiao Xuan wanted to resist, but her two hands were grabbed tightly, making her unable to move at all. In the chaos, it seemed that something had stabbed at her and then she quickly lost consciousness.


    Seeing her body soften, the man who pretended to be her husband immediately picked her up and put her in a car by the side of the road, taking the child with him.


    Just as they were leaving, Sheng Liang came along. He stopped his car, walked to the place Qiao Xuan was talking about, but he did not see her. He took out his phone and called her, and after ringing for a while, he suddenly hung up.


    "What happened? Who called the police?" asked two men in police uniforms as they walked to the center of the circle.


    Someone immediately raised his hand, "I''m the one who reported it. There were a few men who took a girl away and said that the girl was the wife of a man. Then I thought about it, it should be fake.


    When Sheng Liang heard their voices, he immediately walked over and took out his phone to ask the person calling the police: "The girl you''re talking about, is she?"


    The man looked at Sheng Liang''s screen and immediately nodded: That''s right, it''s her.


    Sure enough, Qiao Xuan had met a trafficker.


    Sheng Liang asked again: "Which way did they go?"


    The man pointed in a direction. Sheng Liang quickly returned to the car and drove in that direction.


    While he was driving, he checked the map, checking out the large nightclubs and clubs in the forest. He knew that to these professional traffickers, if they only sold Qiao Xuan to the deep mountains, it wouldn''t be worth much, they would definitely sell her to a place like a nightclub.


    It didn''t have many high-end clubs. Sheng Liang followed this route, locking onto one of the cities, then increased his pace, but at a bend in the road, he bumped into a car that suddenly rushed out from the side.

 C222

    Sheng Liang''s body trembled, but he did not have time to check the situation, and immediately got off the car, and walked towards the car, because he saw that the person inside was Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Qian had yet to recover from the dizziness from the car crash, but when he saw Sheng Liang open the door to the car, he was immediately stunned: "What are you doing?"


    "Drive the car. The traffic police will be here soon." He didn''t have time to waste with them.


    Sheng Qian disagreed: "You bumped into me, what am I afraid of."


    Sheng Liang took out his cellphone from Sheng Qian''s pocket with familiarity. Just as he was about to take it back, he said in a deep voice: "Qiao Xuan was taken away by a trafficker, go along this route."


    Seeing Sheng Liang showing him Qiao Xuan''s location, Sheng Qian was not surprised at all and immediately drove the car out.


    Sheng Qian drove very quickly and continuously passed by the car. Sheng Liang kept staring at Qiao Xuan''s phone, they seemed to be getting closer and closer to that car.


    But suddenly, the red dot on the screen stopped moving and disappeared. Sheng Liang quickly looked for that location on the map.


    Sheng Qian looked at the navigation system, and took a shortcut to get there. He prayed that they would make it in time.


    Sheng Liang quickly searched for information about this clubhouse on the internet. Seeing that it was actually owned by the Xilin Family, his fingers paused for a moment.


    In the time it took him to react, Sheng Qian had already drove the car to the entrance of the Bana Club, and they immediately got off the car and walked in. When they entered the door, Sheng Liang discovered that his phone had lost its signal, and he immediately understood why Qiao Xuan''s location had suddenly disappeared.


    Sheng Liang could not help but frown, this place was so big, how were they supposed to find it?


    And the person who brought Qiao Xuan here didn''t walk through the main entrance but directly through the inner personnel passageway, directly heading to the first level of the underground.


    Carrying Qiao Xuan, the man brought him to a room, where they met a woman with heavy makeup who was still smoking. She immediately stopped and nodded: "Hello, Sister Han."


    "What the hell is this?" The woman said disdainfully, but she still lowered her head to look at Qiao Xuan. After that, her expression slightly changed, and then she smiled and said, "You''ve improved a lot.


    The man who was holding Qiao Xuan was immediately pleasantly surprised, thanking him profusely: "Thank you, Big Sister Han, thank you, Big Sister Han!"


    He was on the verge of becoming rich and often delivered people here, so he was very clear on the fact that the women who could be sent to rooms 1 and 2 were all high class customers, with the highest prices of course.


    Looking at the man carrying Qiao Xuan into room number 2, the woman with thick makeup called two more female attendants and told them to clean Qiao Xuan up.


    In the midst of the dense steam, Qiao Xuan slowly woke up, but she did not have any strength left in her body. She looked at the girl who was giving her a bath, and asked weakly: "Where is this?"


    The two girls didn''t answer, but they dried her as if they hadn''t heard her. They took a piece of clothing and put it on her.


    Qiao Xuan lowered her eyes and saw that the dress that looked like a fishing net, there was no difference if she wore it or not. She struggled a little: "I''m not wearing this, where are my clothes!"


    The two girls still ignored her, one was holding her hands, and the other one was holding onto her body. Although Qiao Xuan didn''t have the strength to struggle free, her lack of cooperation still made no progress in their movements.


    "What do you think this place is? You can only be obedient here." The door was pushed open and the heavily made-up woman came in, raising her chin to signal the two girls to go out.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the woman with the smoky makeup, with lips as red as blood. She was wearing a black robe with a very low collar, revealing the two lumps of snow on her chest.


    The television program host from before!


    Qiao Xuan even found it unbelievable. She would never have thought that she would meet her here!


    Even though she still didn''t know where she was, looking at the decorations, she knew it wasn''t a good place.


    Mai Han twisted his waist and walked over, he bent down slightly and blew a smoke ring on Qiao Xuan''s face, smiling enchantingly: "You never thought that one day you would fall into my hands, and today, no man will come to save you."


    From that time when Mai Han asked such an overbearing question on that program, Qiao Xuan could feel that Mai Han seemed to be extremely hostile towards her. She could not help but ask: "Do you and I have any enmity with each other?"


    Mai Han laughed, his smile was unfathomable: "I thought Sheng Liang had already told you, it seems like, he treated you like that too."


    It was useless to sow discord between the two of them. Seeing Mai Han turning around, she tried to move her body but realized that she still lacked the strength. She glared at Mai Han: "What did you do to me?"


    Mai Han sat on the sofa at the side and looked at her: "What did I do to you? "It hasn''t even started yet, but it''s just been injected with some sort of muscle relaxant or something. We''ll have to wait a bit before the show starts."


    When Qiao Xuan saw her smile, he could not help but feel his scalp go numb. "Let me go quickly, otherwise ¡ª"


    "Or what?" Mai Han asked in return, and looked at her with a cold smile. "This place is not the Sang City, do you think Sheng Liang can still protect you?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank. He was sure that Sheng Liang was anxiously searching the entire world for her, but he never would have thought that she was actually brought here by those traffickers.


    "Since you can''t resist it, you should just enjoy it," Mai Han said as he stood up, "Since you don''t want to wear these clothes, then I won''t wear them anymore.


    "What did you say?" Qiao Xuan was surprised. Although she could guess a little from the arrangement of the place and the clothes that were like a fishnet that was thrown on the ground, but she still could not believe what Mai Han had said. "You made me ¡­"


    Mai Han laughed, but his eyes were extremely cold: "Don''t worry, you''re different from those young misses. You only need to serve a guest, but I need to first tell you that this guest has some special habits, you have to endure it."


    "Mai Han!" Qiao Xuan clenched his teeth and shouted, but Mai Han had already opened the door and went out, leaving her alone in the bathtub.


    She struggled desperately, but in reality, her body did not move at all. Even when she tried to raise her hand to the edge of the bathtub, she suddenly took it off and almost slipped into the water.


    No, what should she do? She couldn''t just sit there and wait for death. She had to escape from here!


    Mai Han listened to the sound of water from outside and snorted disdainfully. Then, he took out his phone to call a number.

 C223

    A hoarse voice from the other end said, "I know."


    After hanging up, Mai Han looked at the door to room 2, and a cold look surfaced in his eyes.


    Even though she still did not know who that gentleman was, because every time he came, everyone would avoid him, leaving without making a sound, but she knew that the woman who was sent to that room would at least lose a layer of skin if she didn''t die.


    Giving Qiao Xuan to that man, even if she didn''t die, Sheng Liang would definitely not want her anymore. She would also lose all her standing and reputation in Sang City because of this.


    As long as Mai Han thought of Qiao Xuan''s battered appearance, he was in a good mood and couldn''t help but hum a song.


    At that time, Sheng Liang and Sheng Qian were still searching for Qiao Xuan in their private rooms upstairs, but as time passed, they still found nothing.


    Sheng Liang realized that there was definitely a secret place that ordinary people did not know of, and becoming a member was fine as long as you did not have money. Many clubhouses would use this method, as it was for safety and privacy.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier, it''s too easy," Hearing Sheng Liang''s words, Sheng Qian immediately said, "Just grab a waiter and ask."


    Sheng Liang shook his head. "Since it''s private, how can I let everyone know?"


    Sheng Qian slanted his eyes at Sheng Liang, and then, he noticed that Sheng Liang''s gaze was fixated at a certain place, and he unconsciously looked over as well.


    Then he saw, in an inconspicuous corner, several attendants coming out of the elevator and walking down the corridor.


    He was about to say, "What''s there to see," when he suddenly realized that the elevator had indicated that it was rising, which meant that they had come up from below!


    The two of them walked over at almost the same time. When no one else was paying attention, they quickly got into the elevator and saw that there was indeed a negative button.


    However, after they got down, the elevator door opened and they saw a row of bodyguards standing in the corridor. Recalling that all the waiters had left earlier, they thought that there must be some important people here.


    They were all very anxious in their hearts, because at this place, they knew very well what Qiao Xuan would encounter.


    "Which room will Qiao Xuan be in?" Sheng Qian asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.


    Since he allowed everyone to leave, then this important person would naturally not allow other guests to stay. If that was the case, it was very likely that Qiao Xuan had been gifted to this person.


    However, this corridor was filled with bodyguards. Which room was it exactly?


    Sheng Liang glanced at the anxious Sheng Qian, and said in a low voice: "Go and create some chaos."


    "What?" Sheng Liang''s voice was too soft, he did not hear it clearly, but Sheng Liang did not say it a second time. In the next second, Sheng Qian was pushed out.


    When Sheng Qian saw that the bodyguards were all staring at him, he finally understood what Sheng Liang meant. But why did it have to be him?


    However, he only thought about it for a moment. Before he could do anything, the bodyguards had already surrounded him.


    Sheng Liang saw that only the bodyguard at room 2 entrance did not move. From the looks of it, Qiao Xuan should be inside.


    Qiao Xuan''s body still could not move. After Mai Han left, the two girls from before came back and carried her onto the bed. They did not give her any strange clothes, but only covered her with a towel, blocking her private parts.


    And, most frightening of all, they had covered her eyes with scarves.


    Not long after, she heard the door open and heard footsteps approaching slowly. She panicked, but her body still couldn''t obey. She could only warn him in a voice: "Who are you? Don''t come back!"


    Hearing her voice, the tall man who had just entered was suddenly stunned for a moment. He then took a few steps forward, and saw that the bed was filled with an alluring body. That face, was indeed Qiao Xuan''s.


    He didn''t say anything and sat down on the side of the bed. One of his hands rested on Qiao Xuan''s exquisite legs, rising up from the bottom and stopping at the base of her thigh.


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t see anything, which made her feel both afraid and ashamed. She shouted, "Stop, don''t touch me!"


    How could a man listen to her? His hand still changed direction as he reached for the towel on her chest.


    However, just as he placed his hand on it, the sound of fighting came from outside. He couldn''t help but pause.


    Qiao Xuan also heard it, and couldn''t help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart. Is it Sheng Liang, it''s definitely him!


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan wanted to shout, the man''s thick hand immediately covered Qiao Xuan''s mouth, preventing her from making a sound. His other hand continued to remove the towel on her body.


    His gaze was fixated on Qiao Xuan''s body, as though he had been waiting for a long time for the truth to come out. He was both nervous and excited.


    But right at that moment, the door to the room was slammed opened. Sheng Liang walked in and was startled when he saw the man in front of him.


    Xilin Fu?


    Qiao Xuan was also stunned, the man beside her was Xilin Fu?


    Xilin Fu seemed to be somewhat regretful. He slowly retracted his hand, stood up and walked towards Sheng Liang: "You sure came at the right time, your woman tastes great."


    His tone was filled with hints and provocation. Sheng Liang clenched his fist and swung it towards him without hesitation.


    Xilin Fu tilted his head slightly, the fist wind brushed past his face but did not leave much of a scratch, he chuckled: "You forgot, I was once your instructor, your abilities were all taught to me, you will never be my opponent."


    frowned slightly. He knew he had made a mistake earlier, so he would not make the mistake a second time. Watching Xilin Fu walk past him, he did not make any more movements, but instead quickly walked over, pulled a blanket over Qiao Xuan and wrapped it around him.


    All sorts of grievances, fears, self-reproach, and fears surged up within Qiao Xuan when she saw him, but she couldn''t say anything. She only stuck close to his chest and felt his warmth and his heartbeat, so she was certain that she wasn''t dreaming.


    But she didn''t see Sheng Liang''s current expression. He was cold as ice, the scene that she saw when he first came in was still in front of his eyes. If he was slightly later, Xilin Fu wouldn''t know what he would have done to Qiao Xuan!


    After helped Qiao Xuan buy clothes for him, Sheng Liang carried Qiao Xuan and walked out. At the corridor, they saw Mai Han, who had rushed over after hearing wind.


    "Why are you here?" Sheng Qian was shocked.


    When Mai Han saw that the one who was causing trouble was them, his face became somewhat pale. He swallowed hard and said: "This clubhouse is mine, what are you two doing here?"


    Until now, she could only pretend to be stupid, or else, with Sheng Liang and his methods, she would definitely be ripped off.

 C224

    However, the most troublesome part was that Qiao Xuan had seen her before, and she had even said that to Qiao Xuan.


    But Qiao Xuan only looked at her and did not say anything.


    After leaving the Barnana Clubhouse, Sheng Qian drove while Qiao Xuan hugged Qiao Xuan at the back. Sheng Qian watched them from the rearview mirror, feeling very dissatisfied.


    Sheng Liang insisted on bringing Qiao Xuan to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said that she had been injected with a muscle relaxant, as long as she did not continue to be injected with it, she would naturally return to normal after the effects had passed.


    Qiao Xuan slept for a long time and when she woke up, she saw Sheng Liang sitting at the side, staring at her without blinking. Her fingers moved a little, and she realized that she could move them.


    It was the first time she ate in front of Sheng Liang without showing any respect for her image. Even she did not notice when Luo Jie came in.


    Luo Jie looked at Sheng Liang, as though he wanted to say something to him. Seeing Sheng Liang shake his head slightly, he did not speak.


    Seeing her finish eating the bowl of porridge, Sheng Liang moved the bowl away and helped her wipe the corner of her mouth and hands.


    Qiao Xuan nodded, then looked at Sheng Qian who was standing by the window and watching her, and then looked at Sheng Liang, and asked carefully: "Why did you come to find me?"


    Afraid that she would be anxious if she found out, Sheng Liang pulled her hand and said softly: "Auntie thought that you ran away from home, so she called me."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, she did not think that it would be like this. Her mother must have blamed herself for quarreling with her, that''s why she thought that she had left home.


    Qiao Xuan immediately lifted up his blanket: "We will be going back now."


    Sheng Liang did not stop her. He only helped her put on her shoes carefully and let her prepare first.


    From start to finish, Sheng Qian did not say a single word, he only followed behind them, and his gaze never left Qiao Xuan''s body.


    On the way, Sheng Liang called Qiao¡¯s mother and told her that they were on their way back to Sang City, telling her not to worry.


    As for what happened to Qiao Xuan, he did not mention anything.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him with gratitude. If his mother knew that she had been kidnapped, she would definitely blame herself even more.


    Because Sheng Liang''s and Sheng Qian''s cars were involved in traffic accidents, they were left in the forest, so they had come back in Luo Jie''s car.


    After sending Qiao Xuan home, Sheng Qian finally said: "Everything should be fine now, I''ll be leaving first."


    "Thank you, Sheng Qian." When he pushed open the car door, Qiao Xuan said.


    Before at the hospital, she wanted to tell him something, but she couldn''t find the chance. She had heard everything from Sheng Liang, if he hadn''t rushed over in time, it would be impossible for Sheng Liang to find her.


    Sheng Qian stopped moving when he got off the car, but he did not turn back, he only waved his hand with his back facing them, "This is what I should do."


    Although he did not want to admit it, he still sensed that there was still a gap between him and Sheng Liang.


    Watching him walk off, Sheng Liang then helped Qiao Xuan off the carriage, just as they entered the small district, they saw her parents walking out from the corridor, and upon seeing her, their steps became unsteady.


    Qiao Xuan immediately ran over and hugged her mother, saying repeatedly: "Sorry, Mom, I made you worry."


    "It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have said those words, and even more so, shouldn''t have hit you." She was still regretting it. How could she have done such a thing then?


    "In the end, this matter is my responsibility. I am the one who caused Hua''er to suffer." The Qiao¡¯s mother''s worries and worries were not wrong. It was he who did not control the situation well.


    Qiao Xuan and Qiao¡¯s mother looked at him and fell silent. Qiao¡¯s father immediately said: "What are you guys standing here for?


    "I still have some matters to attend to, so I won''t be going in. If you have any matters to attend to, give me a call." The family must have a lot to say now, and he didn''t want to spoil it.


    Qiao¡¯s mother walked over, grabbed Sheng Liang''s hand and said: "Don''t take the things that Auntie said to heart to heart. Aunty is really befuddled, you''re speaking nonsense."


    Sheng Liang could understand a mother''s heart. He smiled lightly and said, "Thank you Auntie, I will definitely take care of this matter properly."


    After separating with them, Sheng Liang returned to the carriage and immediately said: "I''ve already investigated everything. The reason Miss Qiao came to the forest this time, was to look for her previous primary school teacher, I told her about your relationship with her, and only then she was willing to divulge it. She said that when Miss Qiao was six years old, he was once imprisoned for half a year, and she even gave me some clippings of what happened that year."


    Luo Jie handed over the old newspapers to Sheng Liang, piece by piece, they were all cut out from the newspaper, but they were all kept in a file, well-preserved, showing how diligent that teacher was.


    Sheng Liang looked at the picture in the old newspaper. The little girl in the picture looked helpless and confused.


    The report said that Qiao was imprisoned by a pair of foster father and son for half a year. Then one night, Qiao found an opportunity to set a fire and escaped while the father and son were trying to put out the fire.


    "So, Xilin Fu was the youth who imprisoned Miss Qiao with his foster father back then?" Luo Jie couldn''t believe it. This was too dramatic.


    But Sheng Liang was sure that it was Xilin Fu, and the wound on his face should have been caused by the fire Qiao Xuan had ignited.


    "He probably isn''t sure if Qiao Xuan is the little girl or not right now. Otherwise, he would have made his move long ago."


    When he asked Qiao Xuan about his childhood, he was starting to suspect something.


    Luo Jie immediately asked: "What do we have to do to stop Xilin Fu from suspecting the Miss Qiao?"


    "I was thinking." But this was too difficult, even if they could find it, Xilin Fu could find it out, unless ¡­


    When he reached home, he called Qiao Xuan''s parents to tell them what he thought.


    The Qiao family''s parents were very surprised that he would actually know about this, but after hearing what Sheng Liang had asked them to do, they understood that Sheng Liang was truly thinking for Qiao Xuan''s sake, and immediately agreed.


    Then, Sheng Liang called Ling Hui and had him make some changes to Qiao Xuan''s household register.


    After settling all these matters, Sheng Liang still could not relax. He understood Xilin Fu''s methods too well, and was afraid that he would miss out on something, which would make Qiao Xuan even more dangerous.


    Qiao Xuan still didn''t know anything, but after this matter, she had already given up on investigating. What the truth was was wasn''t important, she had lived happily all these years, and that was enough.


    In the darkness of the night, there were only a few people in Sky Bar with blurred lights and soothing music. It was a quiet place that was far away from the mortal world.


    Sheng Qian sat on the chair and drank cup after cup of wine, as if he was looking for an antidote to cure his pain.


    A pair of jade-like hands suddenly rested on his shoulders, and a soft body immediately pressed against his. A bewitching fragrance instantly filled his nose.

 C225

    "Can I have a drink, handsome?" The woman''s voice also coquettishly said, intentionally blowing on his face.


    "You''re in a bad mood, stay away from me." Sheng Qian''s tone was slightly cold, and didn''t even look at the woman who still stuck her chest against him.


    The woman laughed and directly snatched the wine cup from his hands. Without any hesitation, she raised her head and drank the wine, and then put her face in front of him, looking into his eyes that were about to get angry, she said: "Young Master Qian was not this unromantic in the past, could it be that he was attracted to some woman?"


    Sheng Qian looked at the exquisite women from top to bottom. Her face seemed somewhat familiar, as if she was one of the ones who slept during the show, but he could never remember their faces.


    However, her words stabbed at his sore spot.


    "What does it have to do with you? Scram!" Sheng Qian reached out and pushed her away.


    Not only did the woman not give up, she even boldly sat on his lap, touching his chest and saying, "Did I say it was right, it''s okay, I''m just here to heal you."


    Sheng Qian''s chin tensed up, the coldness in his eyes almost freezing the air.


    However, before he could make his next move, he saw the woman suddenly being forcefully pulled away by someone. She almost fell to the ground due to being unable to stand properly.


    "Who is it, you''re courting death!" The woman was in a rather sorry state as she cursed out loud.


    "I''m sorry, but I''m not looking to die. I''m looking for my man." Zhao Xiaowei smiled, and very naturally placed his hand on Sheng Qian''s shoulder.


    The woman was surprised to see it was her, but she did not back down. "What''s so special about being a celebrity? Is it possible for a celebrity to beat someone up? Do you believe that I won''t expose you online!?"


    Some of them took out their phones to take pictures, and seeing that the lady had also taken out her phone, Sheng Qian stood up and walked over, grabbing the phone from her hands and threw it out, her movements was fluid and smooth: "Scram!"


    Although his voice was very soft, it was enough to intimidate that woman. Even the people beside her couldn''t help but be stunned as they quickly put away their phones.


    The woman came back to her senses, picked up her phone and ran out.


    Sheng Qian''s sharp gaze swept across everyone present and he returned with his hands in his pockets: "Don''t let me see the video and picture of what happened just now, or else, you''ll have to bear the consequences."


    Seeing that those people were still in a daze, Zhao Xiaowei laughed: "Clear the area, let''s go, I will pay for your expenses."


    As soon as she finished speaking, those people immediately took their things and left.


    Zhao Xiaowei sat on the seat beside Sheng Qian and said to the bartender: "Give me the same wine as him."


    "Zhao Xiaowei, is there something wrong with your head? Why are you here so late at night? Even if those people didn''t have random hair, who knew how many puppies were guarding outside? Just based on the fact that she went in and out of the bar to meet him, it was unknown what she was going to write.


    Zhao Xiaowei acted as if she did not hear his words. She took a sip of the alcohol, which was a high concentration of vodka.


    She turned and looked at Sheng Qian, then asked with a smile: "Tell me, the two of us have the physique to attract rumors, why is it that there are no rumors about us?"


    Sheng Qian did not look at her, and only drank his wine gloomily.


    And why, of course, every time he was deleted.


    Furthermore, she wasn''t the type to incite rumors about her physical constitution. Those male celebrities who spread the rumours with her were all hype methods used by the management company.


    "Don''t show off in front of me in the future, I''m not interested in female celebrities." Sheng Qian said with disgust.


    "Really," Zhao Xiaowei laughed self-deprecatingly, "I know that you like people like Qiao Xuan, but I probably don''t have the chance to change my mind. I am now the closest to you."


    She had only graduated from high school with no education and no background. The only person she could think of who could be on par with him was a female celebrity.


    She had worked so hard to achieve her current status, but in his eyes, it was not worth a single cent.


    "Nutjob." Sheng Qian frowned, "Why are you saying all this?"


    They had really known each other for a long time, to the point where Sheng Qian was almost unable to remember how they met.


    They were probably in his high school. Once, when he was playing basketball on the sports field, Zhao Xiaowei was pushed out by a group of girls to ask her to pass him a towel.


    At that time, Zhao Xiaowei was shy and introverted, wearing an old-fashioned pair of glasses.


    Seeing her blushing face and calling him senior in a low voice, he found it very interesting and mischievously kissed her.


    Because of this kiss, Zhao Xiaowei was isolated by the girls of the entire school. Furthermore, for a very long time, no matter what she did, she was always ranked last.


    There were too many beautiful women by his side, and he would not remember this person until three years later, when she became famous overnight. Along with the name Zhao Xiaowei, she once again appeared in his field of vision.


    Sheng Qian was also weird at times. He was extremely annoyed by this woman, but even though he had hundreds of ways to make her disappear, he had never tried to do it.


    It was as if she had been given the privilege of following him around like a ghost all day.


    Sheng Qian turned his head and saw Zhao Xiaowei sprawled on the counter, her cheeks flushed red as though she was drunk.


    "Hey, Zhao Xiaowei." Sheng Qian cried out. Seeing that she did not have any reaction, he reached out and tugged at her, "Stop pretending, you just drank a cup."


    With this pull, he finally saw Zhao Xiaowei''s slender shoulders tremble slightly. She was crying!


    Sheng Qian''s hand immediately froze in midair. He looked at Zhao Xiaowei in disbelief, his heart actually having that thought as well ¡­ Heartache?


    "How many women have you slept with, have you forgotten about yourself? But I remember," Zhao Xiaowei''s eyes shone brightly, his face still had a smile, "But why, even I can''t compare to Qiao Xuan, don''t tell me I can''t even compare to those girls?"


    "No ¡­" There was no comparison at all.


    She was the third type of woman, but he couldn''t tell what she was really like. Sheng Qian felt that it was a little messy, and it was possible that he had never treated Zhao Xiaowei as a woman before.


    "I''ve waited for you for eight years, Sheng Qian. I chased those women away one by one from your side, but how did you ¡­ "You can''t like me ¡­" Zhao Xiaowei said as tears streamed down her face. She was not drunk, she was very clear-headed.


    Sheng Qian was originally feeling guilty, hearing that she was the one who chased away those girls, he immediately opened his eyes wide: "Zhao Xiaowei, you''re f * cking crazy!


    When Zhao Xiaowei heard him slam the door and leave, she laughed at herself and slowly wiped her tears away and said to the bartender, "Give me another cup of wine."

 C226

    The alcohol was a good thing, if she wasn''t drunk, she wouldn''t even dare to reveal her thoughts to Sheng Qian, but, from the looks of it, the result was terrible. He would probably ignore her in the future.


    Zhao Xiaowei did not know how much he drank, but he was completely drunk. From the moment he came out of the bar, he vomited non-stop, and was caught red-handed by the entertainment news that was waiting outside. On the second day, everyone''s Moments were flooded by the news.


    A Goddess level celebrity, her private life was actually so eroded, it was unforgivable!


    Zhao Xiaowei rolled out of the entertainment circle!


    It''s rumored that the new movie is going to be released soon?


    Comments like this occupied every corner of the internet.


    Sheng Liang was still worrying about the release of the movie, but Zhao Xiaowei was in such a scandal. Before the movie with the investment of a huge sum had even gone live, there were already all sorts of troubles happening, and if things continued, even the release of the movie would become a problem, let alone the movie''s primetime slot.


    When it was almost noon, Qiao Xuan brought along his lunch to see Sheng Liang. On the corridor, she saw Luo Jie reprimanding a girl, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.


    "Do you know what your job is? You can''t get in touch with me?" Although she said it was a reprimand, in truth, Luo Jie was not too loud, he was just worrying in his heart, and his tone became slightly heavier, "Continue searching until you find her!"


    The girl nodded her head: "I got it, Assistant Luo."


    Luo Jie watched as the girl left, and scratched his head. When he raised his head, he saw Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao."


    Qiao Xuan walked over and asked softly: "What''s wrong, who is she?"


    "Zhao Xiaowei''s assistant, the negative news were all spread all over the place early in the morning. That grandma, how about she directly played missing for us." It was not a big deal in the first place, but as long as they did their job well in public relations, they could salvage the situation. Now that Zhao Xiaowei was not going to reveal himself, it didn''t matter how much they did.


    Qiao Xuan had also seen Zhao Xiaowei''s situation, she knew that Sheng Liang was definitely in a bad shape right now, after all, this was the first time he had invested so heavily in Icy Jade.


    She knocked on the door and entered. Seeing that Sheng Liang was busy with something, he did not say anything and walked over gently. She saw that he was actually folding a paper crane.


    "It''s about to be overturned outside, you still have the mood to be in such a leisurely mood." Qiao Xuan put down the thermal container, walked around the table and hugged Sheng Liang''s shoulders.


    Sheng Liang then took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace, and kissed her on the cheek.


    Although he said that, but with Zhao Xiaowei''s current status as a first-tier female star, being poached by any company was still a big deal.


    The purpose was to make Zhao Xiaowei look bad. Once Zhao Xiaowei debased himself and signed a contract with them, they would reveal the truth and then reap the rewards.


    "Why would Zhao Xiaowei go to that kind of place?" Qiao Xuan turned and asked, it was fine if there were other bars, but the street where Sky Bar was located was full of entertainment venues, and the people that went in and out were all mixed up in different people, why would Zhao Xiaowei appear there because he was a public figure?


    Sheng Liang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "It''s because of Sheng Qian."


    Although those entertainment records were willing to expose the privacy of the celebrities, they were still secretive about the Wealthy Class. Therefore, they chose to avoid Sheng Qian''s appearance in the news.


    If not for someone showing off and seeing Zhao Xiaowei himself on the internet and even posting a photo as proof of it, he would not have known about this, and after that, he made that person delete the photo.


    Hearing Sheng Qian''s name, Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned, but that was also reasonable. She had personally seen Zhao Xiaowei''s persistence towards Sheng Qian.


    "Zhao Xiaowei... Where can she go? " Hiding away at this time was definitely not a good idea.


    "Where she is going is not the important point. The important point is that even if I find her, she might not be willing to come back." Sheng Liang said as he placed the folded paper crane into Qiao Xuan''s hands.


    Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant and looked at him in a daze.


    Sheng Liang laughed and pecked her cherry lips, "Have you thought about why Zhao Xiaowei drank so much last night? It''s obvious that she was rejected as the one who entered the entertainment circle was because of Sheng Qian. Now that she''s like this, there''s no meaning for her to come back."


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s words, Qiao Xuan suddenly realized why Zhao Xiaowei was hiding.


    Zhao Xiaowei was probably already dispirited.


    Not long after, Luo Jie came in and said that she had found Zhao Xiaowei, but as expected, she refused to come back.


    "She said that if the company forced her, she would break off the contract unilaterally and she would be willing to pay the penalty." Luo Jie carefully looked at Sheng Liang''s expression and repeated his original words.


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan to indicate that he was right, and then said to Luo Jie: "It''s impossible to break the contract, let the Public Relations Department handle this. Gather all of Zhao Xiaowei''s emotional experience, don''t reveal his name first, let them write a long paper with more than five thousand words.


    "I know." Luo Jie immediately understood what Sheng Liang meant and turned to leave.


    Qiao Xuan also knew that this should be the best way. In a situation where public opinion was one-sided, they could only play emotional cards, but in the end, they still needed Zhao Xiaowei''s cooperation.


    Qiao Xuan asked for Zhao Xiaowei''s location from him, and quickly rushed over. In a manor on the outskirts of the city, she saw Zhao Xiaowei sitting on the side of the bridge, wearing a red cape and her hair in disarray from the wind.


    Her mental state did not seem to have changed much. Upon seeing Qiao Xuan, she smiled as usual, "Don''t ask me why. I just have a premonition that you will come."


    In the past, they were in the same situation, so Qiao Xuan could understand Zhao Xiaowei''s current mood. She didn''t say anything, and just sat on the dock like her.


    However, it was Zhao Xiaowei who seemed to have finally found someone to pour out his heart to. He said to himself, "When I first met Sheng Qian, I suddenly knew in my heart what a prince looked like, but at that time, there were too many girls who liked him. I wasn''t even Lady Hui, and I also understood that only a princess could be worthy of a prince. It took a long time for me to finally be able to be on the same level as him, but it turns out that this is only what I thought it was. In his eyes, I am still worthless.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to reply. She wasn''t Zhao Xiaowei, and Sheng Liang wasn''t Sheng Qian either.


    "I don''t know what I will do, but at least I won''t choose to escape," Qiao Xuan looked at Zhao Xiaowei, "You can always hide here, but the problem will never be solved by yourself.

 C227

    Zhao Xiaowei hugged his knees, and smiled as he looked at Qiao Xuan: "You have come to help Young Master Liang be a lobbyist."


    Having been exposed, Qiao Xuan felt that he had some sort of ulterior motive, and he unconsciously avoided her gaze.


    "What''s there to deny?" Zhao Xiaowei was obviously not too concerned about it. "If you didn''t come, I would have been surprised."


    "Then... Will you go back? " Qiao Xuan immediately asked.


    Zhao Xiaowei shook his head: "I am not here to run away, I just want to force him to see what is in his heart. If he really doesn''t like me, I ¡­ may really retire from the entertainment industry. "


    As Zhao Xiaowei said that, she looked into the distance, as if there was someone there that she wanted to see.


    Qiao Xuan knew she was talking about Sheng Qian, so she probably didn''t have any other ways, which was why she came up with this plan.


    After leaving Zhao Xiaowei''s place, Qiao Xuan originally wanted to go find Sheng Qian, but not long after the car was driven out, Sheng Liang called him: "I''m at your house, when will you be back?"


    Qiao Xuan was surprised, and quickly replied: "I''m on my way, I''ll be home in a while."


    Sheng Liang hung up the phone and told the Qiao family''s parents, "She said that she will be home very soon."


    The Qiao¡¯s mother seemed to be a little nervous as she arranged her appearance repeatedly. She looked at Sheng Liang and asked, "Am I supposed to be like this, is it not too casual?"


    "She would be frightened if you were too serious." Sheng Liang smiled faintly.


    "That''s right," Qiao¡¯s father also said. "You want to wear an evening gown for your own daughter''s birthday?"


    Qiao¡¯s mother glared at him. She didn''t want to wear anything, she just wanted to ¡­


    Although Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang had absolutely not mentioned the matter of Qiao Xuan meeting a trafficker in the forest, Qiao¡¯s mother had always blamed herself for hurting her, and for hitting her. Thus, she wanted to use this opportunity to sincerely apologize to Qiao Xuan.


    Sheng Liang understood what she meant and slowly said: "Rest assured Auntie, I will definitely understand your intentions."


    Sheng Liang''s words were like a tranquilizer for Qiao¡¯s mother, she was afraid that Qiao Xuan would not be willing to accept it. From the moment Qiao Xuan asked them about their childhood, she had always been worried about gains and losses, afraid that Qiao Xuan would misunderstand and leave them.


    Qiao Xuan also returned very quickly, she took the key to open the door, but discovered that the house was pitch black. She couldn''t help but feel strange, calling out the names of her parents and Sheng Liang as she pressed the button, but it was useless.


    Just when she thought something was wrong and was about to call Sheng Liang, the candle suddenly lit up. She was stunned when she saw him walking towards her with a cake with a candle in it.


    It was her birthday. She didn''t even remember it.


    In her previous life, other than her parents, no one else had given her a birthday.


    Qiao Xuan was not an emotional person and did not understand romance, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly became moist, "Thank you."


    However, Sheng Liang did not seem to be very satisfied. "I have made this Napoleon cake for a long time.


    In truth he was only joking, but seeing that Qiao Xuan seemed to really be thinking about this question, he smiled lightly: "Make a wish."


    Qiao Xuan nodded and clasped her hands together, then closed her eyes. She hoped that her parents were healthy and well, that their family would be together happily, and that she and Sheng Liang would be able to walk to the end.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw her parents standing beside her at some unknown time. They were looking at her lovingly, saying ''Happy Birthday'' to her.


    Qiao Xuan felt that she was already the happiest person in the world. Those she loved and those she loved were all already by her side.


    She hugged her parents, especially her mother. Thinking of how they had quarreled that day, both of them felt extremely regretful. Almost at the same time, they both said, "I''m sorry."


    Hearing that the other side had the same thoughts as him, the two of them couldn''t help but laugh. Seeing them acting like this, Qiao¡¯s father was also infected, but he quickly recovered from his shock and urged: "Hurry and blow the candle, Sheng Liang has been carrying the candle for a long time."


    The mother and daughter pair still held hands and looked at Sheng Liang apologetically before blowing out the candles together. Qiao¡¯s father had also turned on the lights at the first moment.


    The food was very sumptuous, and the atmosphere was also harmonious. Qiao Xuan''s heart was constantly filled with a kind of emotion and was unable to express it, but he knew that it was unnecessary to do so.


    Because he still had to drive, Sheng Liang did not drink, but Qiao¡¯s father was in high spirits. He unknowingly drank a few cups, and even insisted on pulling Sheng Liang to play chess.


    Qiao Xuan accompanied Sheng Liang on a short journey and after walking for a long time, even though he knew in his heart that they would meet again tomorrow, he was still unwilling to part with anyone.


    "I now know why Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Yingtai could send us eighteen miles." Sheng Liang stood still by the side of the carriage, staring at Qiao Xuan with shining eyes. If possible, he wouldn''t want to be separated from her even for a minute.


    Under the street lamp, Qiao Xuan''s face flushed red. She lowered her head, suddenly tiptoed and kissed Sheng Liang''s slightly cold lips: "Thank you."


    Ever since her rebirth, Sheng Liang gave her far too many surprises, good and bad, making her life more and more colorful and full of expectations.


    Even if she had thousands of words to say, it wouldn''t be enough to describe her current mood. The only thing she could say was these three words.


    Sheng Liang understood all of this. He curled his fingers and scratched her nose: "I''ll keep it, go back and sleep early."


    Qiao Xuan saw that he did not have the intention to return home, and asked: "Are you not going back, where are you going?"


    Sheng Liang did not answer, but said: "I have something to do at work."


    Qiao Xuan guessed that it should be Zhao Xiaowei''s problem, although he had not said it, the pressure on him was still very strong. She pulled Sheng Liang and said, "Actually, I was planning to go find Sheng Qian today, and Zhao Xiaowei is obviously arguing with him. Even if he doesn''t talk about personal feelings, as the shareholder of Icy Jade, he has the responsibility to handle this matter."


    When Sheng Liang obtained the shares of Golden Age from Xun Hui, he had not thought of taking them for himself from the start. It was just that the situation did not allow it, so he could not explain too much.


    Although the current Fei Leng Cui''s strength could not be compared to the Golden Age, she could at least let Sheng Qian and her son live without worries for the rest of their lives.


    "You don''t need to bother yourself with the matters between the two of them. No matter how many good things you do, you will have to slowly grind them down. There''s no hurry." Although he knew that Qiao Xuan didn''t have any other thoughts in his mind, Sheng Liang didn''t want her to get close to Sheng Qian.

 C228

    "But ¡­" If he did not solve Zhao Xiaowei''s problem, even if there was a deadline, the box office would not be too good. Sheng Liang would suffer a huge loss.


    Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan''s hand and interrupted her: "Don''t worry, I have a way. Go back quickly."


    Qiao Xuan still wanted to say something, but she believed in Sheng Liang, as if there was nothing that he couldn''t do.


    Watching Qiao Xuan leave and her figure disappearing, Sheng Liang finally got on the car, but he did not go to settle Zhao Xiaowei''s problem, but went to the hospital.


    Qi Chu called him and said that Qi Luo was showing signs of waking up.


    This was what Sheng Liang wanted to see the most.


    After arriving at the hospital, Sheng Liang quickly went to Qi Luo''s floor. From afar, he saw Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu outside the window, watching the doctor examine Qi Luo with a nervous expression.


    Qi Chu turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. "You''re accompanying your girlfriend again? "Little Luo is that important to you. Have you forgotten how much you liked her before?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t want to refute her words. He understood Qi Chu''s current state of mind and asked softly, "How is it?"


    "The doctor said that the first six months after the vegetable fainted was the peak period for waking up. However, even if he woke up, he might not be able to live like a normal person due to ischemia and hypoxia." Qi Chu frowned, then gritted his teeth and looked towards Sheng Liang, "This was all because of you. If Little Luo can''t recover, you''ll be responsible for it for your entire life!"


    Why was it that when his sister was lying here half-dead, Sheng Liang could still be intimate with other girls? He would definitely not let them have their way!


    "I still suggest that we transfer Xiao Luo to a hospital abroad. Compared to taking care of someone who can''t take care of himself, it is more responsible for her to get well." Sheng Liang did not avoid his gaze in the slightest.


    Qi Chu''s face became extremely ugly, but he still said: "Don''t even think about changing the topic, does Little Luo''s body still have the ability to endure the torture? If you want to send her out, then you can do whatever you want!"


    Sheng Liang looked at Qi Chu for a while, but his tone was still indifferent: "I''ve already suggested my solution, if you don''t agree -"


    Qi Chu frowned: "If I don''t agree, are you going to ignore Little Luo?"


    "Don''t forget, she and I are not married, and taking care of her is not my duty. I only felt that I owed her and was willing to bear the burden, and," although Sheng Liang did not want to say it this way, Qi Chu was extremely aggressive, and he could not retreat repeatedly. "The matter with the embroidered box, is not proof that she did not do it.


    Who would have thought that Sheng Liang would say such a thing? Qi Chu''s face alternated between black and white: "You ¡ª"


    "Alright, stop arguing," Qi Mingyu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, because he saw the doctor shake his head at him, and knew that it was still impossible for Qi Luo to wake up. He looked at Sheng Liang and said, "You are an intelligent person, let''s be frank, Little Luo will probably never wake up again in this life.


    As expected, Jiang Wei was more experienced, as he threatened him and pressured him at the same time, his final goal was still for Qi Chu to help him.


    However, even if Sheng Liang knew that Qi Mingyu was dragging him into the water, it was still a huge temptation.


    After all, Qi Luo''s existence would always cause him to feel resentful.


    "Alright." Sheng Liang agreed without hesitation.


    Then, Sheng Liang found out that the crisis Qi Mingyu was talking about was actually related to Xilin Fu.


    Xilin Fu had interfered with Qi Chu''s drug market in Asia, and in a single night, he had taken control of all the resources Qi Chu had accumulated previously.


    However, probably only Sheng Liang knew, and that was not Xilin Fu''s original intention. Although Xilin Fu''s ambition was big, his Xilin Family was the same as their Sheng Family, so he was definitely not allowed to touch drugs.


    This was Xilin Fu''s challenge to him, the game between them had just begun.


    Previously, he had wanted to use Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu to weaken Xilin Fu''s power, but now, through Qi Chu, he was forced to accept the outcome of this battle.


    Qi Mingyu was a shrewd person, so she naturally saw through it with a glance. Of course she would be happy to give this hot potato to him.


    When Luo Jie heard what Qi Mingyu had told Sheng Liang to do, he was already impressed by Qi Mingyu''s cunning. However, he was still puzzled and asked, "The Xilin Family is huge, and Xilin Fu has an arrogant and despotic personality. He has a lot of ways to defeat us, why must we go in such a circle?"


    "This is a game of cat and mouse." Sheng Liang stood in front of the french window with a cup of coffee in his hand.


    However, he could accompany her. If she could win against Xilin Fu ten years ago, then so be it.


    Luo Jie scratched his head, he did not understand anything yet. Actually, he knew very little about Sheng Liang''s past abroad, if it wasn''t for the matter regarding Sheng Hua, he wouldn''t even know that Xilin Fu was once Sheng Liang''s instructor!


    This piece of information shocked him quite a bit. He didn''t know what kind of place that was, to have two strong characters like them appear.


    But since Sheng Liang was unwilling to talk about it, he would definitely not take the initiative to ask.


    ''s problem had not been resolved, but now that there was a new problem, Luo Jie unconsciously suggested, "Young Master Liang, how about we get Miss Qiao to come back?"


    Everyone could clearly see Qiao Xuan''s working ability, the cold jade was currently plaguing him from both inside and outside, when Qiao Xuan returned, he could at least help Sheng Liang shoulder some of the burden.


    But Sheng Liang rejected it flatly: "She''s at home to rest."


    Luo Jie choked. As expected, their relationship had changed, and now, he was unwilling to see Qiao Xuan in public?


    Sheng Liang''s considerations were obviously different from Luo Jie''s. He wanted Qiao Xuan to stay at home because he was afraid that she would become someone''s pawn again.


    After such a large number of things had happened recently, Qiao Xuan had probably forgotten about it. Previously, Xu Yi did everything in his power to get her to Blue Brook Guild, but the person backing Xu Yi, and the reason behind his actions, he still had not figured it out yet.


    However, if he were to directly tell Qiao Xuan this, with her personality, she would definitely have to charge forward instead. He could only use other methods to make her listen to him.


    Qiao Xuan took a shower and changed her clothes. When she was about to go to bed, she heard her cell phone ring, so she didn''t need to look to guess that it was Sheng Liang. She immediately picked it up: "Did you go home?"


    "Yes." After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he remained silent for a while. He knew that Qiao Xuan was still waiting, so he slowly said, "Qing Qing is pregnant, if you have time, go and see her."


    Originally, he wanted to say that he wanted to have a child with her, but he knew that the word "child" was still the deepest wound in Qiao Xuan''s heart, so after pondering for a moment, he gave up.

 C229

    As expected, Qiao Xuan did not suspect the meaning of his pause, and said in pleasant surprise: "Really, I''m fine anyways, I''ll go see her tomorrow."


    "By the way, you can put our wedding on the agenda." When Sheng Liang brought up this topic, the corner of his lips unconsciously hooked up into a faint smile.


    Qiao Xuan was startled: "Wedding? Ours? "


    Although she had thought about it many times, why had Sheng Liang never mentioned about marriage to her before, nor did she ask for the marriage proposal. She did not even care about how grand the wedding was, she would immediately agree to it if he said so.


    However, when he really said that, she actually felt that it was not true.


    "Of course it''s ours," Sheng Liang knew that his suggestion was too sudden, she didn''t dare believe it, so she deliberately confirmed it, "I''ve already talked to uncle and aunt today, they don''t object. After I''ve been busy for a while, we''ll get married."


    Qiao Xuan was so excited that she couldn''t even speak. The day she had been dreaming for, had finally come.


    After not hearing Qiao Xuan speak for a long time, Sheng Liang said again: "However, you may have to busy yourself with the wedding matters. There have been too many things happening in the company recently, so I can''t do anything about it."


    If he kept her busy preparing for the wedding, she wouldn''t have the energy to care about anything else, and when they were married, he could reasonably let her be a young lady at home.


    Moreover, the reason that Sheng Liang couldn''t wait to marry him was also because Xilin Fu was too much of a threat to him.


    Even though he was still not certain what kind of attitude Xilin Fu had towards him, there was one thing he was sure of: Qiao Xuan was his most fatal weakness, so Xilin Fu would definitely use this point to attack him.


    Rather than leaving Qiao Xuan outside and be on guard against his movements all day, it would be better to keep her by his side at all times. At least, when she was in danger, he would be able to rush over immediately.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how much he was thinking, but she was happy to share the burden for him.


    After hanging up, Qiao Xuan was so excited that she couldn''t sleep the entire night. Her mind was filled with the scenes of the wedding, and thinking about the details of the wedding, she simply got off the bed and took out a pen and paper.


    She remembered every single detail very carefully.


    Even until dawn, she was still completely devoid of sleepiness.


    When Qiao¡¯s mother went in to get her to eat breakfast, she saw her in her pajamas writing on the table. Waves of paper that were filled with words were spread across the table, and she habitually helped her to pack it up: "What are you writing, don''t you have a computer?"


    "Mom, don''t move!" Qiao Xuan immediately called out, as if he was afraid that his mother would discover some secret, he carefully took the papers from her hands and smiled, "It''s nothing, just writing and playing. "Oh yeah, Mom, I''m going out in a bit. Do you want to buy something?"


    Qiao¡¯s mother was not illiterate, although she only glanced at it, she could roughly see what she wrote. She knew that it was her daughter''s embarrassment, so she did not expose her, but only said: "We do not need to buy anything, you do not need to spend money carelessly."


    "I know." Qiao Xuan smiled, he had an idea in his heart.


    After finishing breakfast, Qiao Xuan drove to Qing Qing''s place. On the way, she bought presents for Qing Qing and Luo Jie''s mother.


    Luo Hua City Mistress treated Qing Qing very well, like she was her own daughter. Although Qing Qing was just pregnant, she did not allow him to do anything, and every day she would make Qing Qing delicious food.


    After letting them chat in the living room, Luo Ma went back to the kitchen to busy herself. Qing Qing watched her leave and said to Qiao Xuan in a low voice, "Right now, other than eating and sleeping, I feel like I''m completely useless."


    Qiao Xuan laughed and said, "How nice is that, it''s impossible even for others to think of doing so."


    Qing Qing was also a little proud. "Seems like it, Luo Jie and his mother were too nice to me, even now I feel like I''m dreaming."


    Qiao Xuan understood her feeling very well, just like how Sheng Liang doted on her in every possible way. She was always afraid that all of this was just a dream.


    Seeing her in a daze, Qing Qing pulled her hand and said: "Miss Qiao, you and Sir should have another child. Although I know that you feel bad about the child you lost previously, Sir, he isn''t well either. I remember the day he came back from the hospital, and there was a lot of blood on his clothes, and I heard him talking to Miss Lo, and I knew your child was gone. That day, after Miss Luo had left, he sat by himself in the small room for the whole night. Early the next morning, he took your child to the Serenity Temple and asked the mages there to help her transcend her limits. He had a bad cold since then, and Young Master Qian came over to question him. The two had a fight, and then he had a cold that turned into pneumonia, and his high fever never left him. That''s why he didn''t come to see you, but he really cared about you and that kid. "


    Qiao Xuan looked at Qing Qing in shock. He had never told her about this before.


    So that night, it was not her imagination, it was indeed Sheng Liang who had been carrying her the entire time.


    But in the face of her accusations and doubts, he didn''t explain himself in the slightest.


    In Qiao Xuan''s heart, he smiled faintly, from the initial shock to the feeling of warmth.


    The man she liked didn''t let down her trust and expectations.


    "We''re getting married." Qiao Xuan''s tone was overflowing with sweetness, "Today, I am going to buy the things needed for the wedding."


    Qing Qing was very excited, he pulled her and said: "I will go with you, go now!"


    Qing Qing was now a national treasure target for protection, so she did not dare to take out. However, she insisted on going, and purposely told Luo Ma about it before Qiao Xuan reluctantly agreed.


    Qiao Xuan felt that Qing Qing was even more excited than her. When he walked past them, he saw the wedding dress on the model in the window and insisted her to try it out, but after thinking for a while, he said: "I will not try anymore. Mister will definitely find a famous designer to customize it for you."


    Qiao Xuan originally wanted to say that it would be alright to try, but Qing Qing had already pulled her away.


    After strolling in the market for a long time, Qiao Xuan bought all the things he needed to buy and got them to take her home.


    As soon as they entered, a clerk walked over and said in surprise, "Eh, this lady here, your baby has already been born. You''ve recovered so much."


    Qiao Xuan realized that the clerk was talking about her, and her expression didn''t darken at all. It was because she seemed to have come to this shop many times for the child from before, so the clerk thought that her child was already born.


    Qing Qing noticed that her expression was not good, and immediately pulled her and said: "Miss Qiao, let''s go take a look."

 C230

    Qiao Xuan realized that he had lost control of himself and said to Qing Qing: "It''s alright, let''s just watch from here. This store is not bad."


    Seeing the female shop assistant looking at them blankly, Qiao Xuan smiled lightly: "My children are gone, I brought my friends here."


    When the female shop assistant heard her words, she immediately apologized.


    But Qiao Xuan didn''t care about it at all, and earnestly helped Qing Qing to choose what to use.


    She knew that her children were in another world and would understand how much they loved her.


    After leaving the market, Qing Qing was still a little worried that Qiao Xuan was forcing himself to laugh. He whispered: "Miss Qiao, if you''re not happy, just say it out, you can even scold me, don''t be wronged."


    "Why should I scold you? It''s not like you did anything wrong," Qiao Xuan laughed, "I''m fine, I''m really fine. What''s past is already in the past, even if I''m unwilling, she still won''t come back. So what you said is right, Sheng Liang and I should have another child."


    She wasn''t trying to make up for anything, nor was she trying to replace the lost child with another child. She just understood that life wasn''t easy. It was better to cherish the people in front of her, and the people who passed away, and there was no need to disturb them.


    Thus, everyone was fine.


    Qing Qing saw that she didn''t seem to be lying, so he relaxed a little. The two of them walked together, while chatting about recent events.


    Qing Qing''s footsteps suddenly stopped, and her gaze remained fixed at the other side. Qiao Xuan followed her gaze and looked over, and saw Luo Jie getting off a carriage, and stopped for a moment before entering a nearby theater.


    Qiao Xuan saw his movements, and unconsciously looked to the front and discovered that he did not come by himself, but had followed the person in front.


    And that person was none other than Sheng Qian.


    Just that, why was Luo Jie following Sheng Qian?


    While Qiao Xuan was still thinking, she saw Qing Qing already walking towards the sidewalk, she immediately pulled her back: "Where are you going?"


    Qing Qing turned his head to look at her and said: "I saw Young Master Qian, Luo Jie followed him sneakily, I don''t know what to do, I''ll go take a look, Miss Qiao, you can go back first."


    How could Qiao Xuan be at ease with himself going back? He followed Qing Qing through the sidewalk and walked towards the place where Luo Jie just went.


    A small theater, with a few people rehearsing for the show, Sheng Qian sat in the front row, conversing with a director who was beside him.


    Qing Qing pulled Qiao Xuan and sat in an inconspicuous place at the very back. There were no lights on here and the light was very dim.


    Qiao Xuan had noticed it the moment he entered. They had clearly seen Luo Jie enter, but they could not see his figure in the theater.


    Sheng Qian did not notice them. He walked up the stage and whispered something to the actress who played Juliet. Qiao Xuan could tell that his expression was very serious.


    When Qiao Xuan was looking at it like this, she suddenly felt as if the chandelier above her shook a little. Her heart sank and a thought immediately popped into her head.


    She immediately pulled Qing Qing and quietly went to the backstage. Sure enough, she saw Luo Jie pulling a few ropes to adjust the position of the chandelier.


    "Luo Jie, what are you doing!" Qing Qing called out first, and as he spoke, he had already walked towards Luo Jie.


    Luo Jie was suddenly startled by Qing Qing''s shout. His hands trembled and a rope fell out of his hands.


    Then, they heard a loud bang outside, followed by a series of screams. Qiao Xuan could not care about that anymore, immediately opening the curtain and walking out, he saw that the chandelier had already smashed onto the stage, surrounded by people, and Sheng Qian was the only one left.


    It can''t be, it can''t be, Qiao Xuan denied repeatedly in his heart. Sheng Qian''s life was so huge, and he was fine even after being hit by a car the last time.


    But even if she hypnotized herself like this, when she walked over, her legs were still weak. With much difficulty, she walked up to the front and crouched down, trying to brush away the fragments. She muttered: "Sheng Qian, Sheng Qian, don''t die ¡­"


    However, before her fingers could even touch him, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed onto her. Before she could clearly see who it was, she was already tightly embraced by someone.


    Qiao Xuan was shocked, and immediately released him. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his body, and that he was even looking at her with a cunning gaze, Qiao Xuan immediately understood, he must have seen her and Qing Qing go backstage earlier, and he even knew what Luo Jie was trying to do.


    Luo Jie rushed out from behind, and when he saw Sheng Qian carrying Qiao Xuan, his expression became ugly. This was originally Sheng Liang''s plan, and was to let Zhao Xiaowei return on his own. Instead, he had given Sheng Qian a chance to get close to Qiao Xuan. If Sheng Liang were to know about this, he would definitely not be able to take this lying down.


    "Miss Qiao, let''s go." Luo Jie pretended not to know anything and walked over.


    Qiao Xuan also just understood that Luo Jie did not really want to use the chandelier to smash Sheng Qian. He probably had other reasons, especially when Sheng Qian looked at her with such a gaze that she was unable to dodge.


    Sheng Qian did not stop her, but said from behind them: "Luo Jie, tell my third brother not to waste his strength, it has nothing to do with me whether Zhao Xiaowei comes back or not, if she is not willing to cooperate, she will immediately delete her part of the movie, if it was anyone else who reproduces, I will take responsibility for all the losses."


    "Repeat Zhao Xiaowei''s scenes?" Luo Jie could not help but sneer at the female comedian who was acting out of Juliet, "You want her to shoot? Forget how troublesome it is to reedit it later on, is it possible for anyone to replace Zhao Xiaowei? "


    "Also, let me correct you. What happened today was not ordered by the Young Master Liang but my own decision. If Young Master Qian has nothing else to do, then it''s better to think of a way to get Miss Zhao back."


    Sheng Qian was obviously infuriated, and her eyes became slightly cold: "You don''t have the right to meddle in my matters."


    Luo Jie did not say anything, he brought Qiao Xuan and the others out, and exhaled after leaving the door: "You scared me to death."


    Qing Qing looked at him and said with a frown: "What are you thinking about? It was so dangerous just now, luckily young master Qian is fine."


    was also a little curious. Normally, Luo Jie would be considered respectful to him when he saw him, but why was he so direct today?


    Luo Jie did not refuse, and only smiled obsequiously: "Yes yes yes, I know."


    He knew Qing Qing the best. As long as he coaxed him for a bit, he would quickly forget about this matter.


    Sure enough, Qing Qing didn''t bother with him anymore, she turned and said to Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, I''m sorry, I''ve wasted your time, where else do you want to go?"


    Qiao Xuan shook his head: "I''ve already bought it, since Luo Jie is here, I won''t send you off, I''ll be leaving first."


    After separating from them, Qiao Xuan got into the car and called Sheng Liang. Without waiting for him to speak, he asked: "Where are you, I want to see you."

 C231

    There were some things she had to tell him right away.


    Sheng Liang was listening to his subordinate''s report. He looked at the time and said: I''m at the company.


    Qiao Xuan was excited along the way. That feeling was in his chest and it was about to spill out.


    It wasn''t until she entered his office and saw that someone was there that she calmed down a little. Without disturbing them, she sat down on the sofa outside, put on her headphones and listened to the music.


    She didn''t even know when those people had gone out. It was only when Sheng Liang bent over to kiss her lips that she finally opened her eyes and looked up at him.


    Her body was nestled into the sofa, and was being gently hugged by Sheng Liang. She did not hear what Sheng Liang had said, but he had used his actions to reply her.


    Still in his room, kissing her, he whispered in her ear, "How about a change in position today? It''s easier to have children."


    Even though she was the one who suggested it, being said all the way to the bone, Qiao Xuan''s face still immediately flushed red. But before she could say anything, she felt Sheng Liang''s hand slip to her thigh, causing a numbing sensation to flood through her entire body. She was caught off guard, and a low moan uncontrollably escaped her lips.


    "Comfortable?" Sheng Liang''s lips stopped at her neck.


    He asked so directly that Qiao Xuan was too ashamed to speak. He just bit on her collarbone, "Answer me."


    "Mm ¡­" Qiao Xuan could only nod his head, wanting him to stop.


    But how could Sheng Liang bear to stop? If he stopped now, how could she be satisfied?


    Qiao Xuan''s remaining rationality was still reminding her that they were in a company and other people would come knocking at any time, so other than that low cry that she was caught off guard, she did not dare make any other sound.


    However, Sheng Liang had pushed her pleasure to its peak time and time again, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t even remember how many times she had been tossed around that afternoon, but fortunately, no one came to find Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan finally understood what it meant to have her legs go soft. When she got down from the bed, she couldn''t even stand steadily, yet Sheng Liang was still smiling from behind her, using this as a reason to send her home.


    After helping her fasten her seat belt, she could see that Qiao Xuan was still a little angry. Sheng Liang also knew that he had been too unrestrained today and might have made her feel a little pained.


    Qiao Xuan did not answer, he turned his head and looked outside.


    Actually, he wasn''t really angry, but it was just that Qiao Xuan still didn''t have much strength left in his body, so he didn''t bother to speak.


    Sheng Liang held her face, looked into her eyes and said: "How about tomorrow, we go get the proof first?"


    He did not understand why Sheng Liang would suddenly mention this. Qiao Xuan looked at him and asked: "Did something happen?"


    "If we accept the certificate, we will be husband and wife, and our children will be famous." Sheng Liang said very seriously.


    So it was because he was afraid that she would mind about this, Qiao Xuan said lightly: "I do not care about this, but since we are going to get married anyway, it is normal for me to receive a certificate in advance."


    She didn''t want to waste too much time on such an outstanding person like him.


    "Alright, come to your house later and discuss it with your parents to see what day is suitable." Sheng Liang released his hand and drove out.


    Hearing that they were going to get a certificate, the Qiao family''s parents were naturally very happy. Taking out their almanac to look at the date, Qiao¡¯s father pointed at the calendars and said: "Let''s go tomorrow. It''s a good day to go out and get married."


    "Alright." Sheng Liang smiled as he replied.


    Qiao Xuan was originally afraid that Sheng Liang would feel that it was too hasty, but she didn''t think that he would agree so naturally. She knew that he cared too much about her feelings.


    That night, as Qiao Xuan laid on his bed, he was unable to calm down for a long time. No matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn''t sleep, and when he shut his eyes, his mind was filled with every single detail of her and Sheng Liang''s journey. But tomorrow, she would become his legal wife.


    She was excited until the wee hours of the morning before she finally fell asleep. In the morning, she was still woken up by her mother, who hurriedly washed her face and brushed her teeth. After eating breakfast and changing her clothes, Sheng Liang came to pick her up.


    Qiao Xuan wore a milky-white woolen coat, black boots reaching up to her knees, and with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, it made her skin seem especially fair.


    Ever since Sheng Liang left the house, he tightly held onto Qiao Xuan''s hand. Even when he was driving, he did not loosen his grip, as if he was afraid that she would run away.


    Qiao Xuan seemed to have felt his emotions, as she pinched his palm and asked: "Are you very nervous?"


    Sheng Liang couldn''t explain it, it was just that for no reason, he had a feeling that something was going to happen, but he didn''t dare tell Qiao Xuan, so he grabbed her hands even tighter: "Before I seal you, I don''t even dare to let go, what if you get snatched away by someone?"


    Qiao Xuan laughed, "Shouldn''t I be more afraid of you getting snatched away?"


    After all, there were many women who wanted to marry him.


    Qiao Xuan''s words made Sheng Liang''s mood ease up a little, and it just so happened that there was a traffic jam in front of him. He let go of his hand and said to Qiao Xuan: "Sleep for a while, I think it will take a long time."


    She must not have slept well last night.


    How could Qiao Xuan sleep at a time like this? She took out her phone to pass the time, and then saw the big news this morning: Sheng Qian had spent the night at a mysterious hotel with a woman!


    Qiao Xuan didn''t believe it at first, because Sheng Qian hadn''t done this for a long time. But when she looked carefully at the pictures on the news, the face of the mysterious woman, wasn''t that the drama actor from yesterday?


    Why did it have to be at this time, wasn''t this adding fuel to the fire? If Zhao Xiaowei saw this news, he definitely wouldn''t return.


    Qiao Xuan really didn''t know what Sheng Qian was thinking.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s dejected face, Sheng Liang lowered his head and glanced at her mobile phone, his tone a little sour: "Are you jealous?"


    "Hmm?" Qiao Xuan stared blankly at her. Only after a long while did he finally react, and hurriedly said, "Why would I be jealous? I am just feeling sorry for Zhao Xiaowei."


    Originally, he said it on purpose. Seeing her regretful expression, Sheng Liang patted her hands and said: "Don''t worry, Zhao Xiaowei isn''t that easy to give up. Sheng Qian isn''t someone who doesn''t have a bottom line either."


    He said that she knew about Zhao Xiaowei, but what did Sheng Qian mean by that? When Qiao Xuan thought about how Luo Jie went to the theater with Sheng Qian yesterday, he could not help but ask, "This can''t be related to you, right?"


    Sheng Liang declined to comment: "What do you think?"


    He couldn''t possibly ignore Zhao Xiaowei''s matter, but he could only add fuel to the fire. Thus, it seemed as if Luo Jie had intentionally caused this accident that day, in order for Zhao Xiaowei to hear the news of Sheng Qian''s injuries, he would definitely return.


    However, Sheng Qian would never cooperate with him in that way. Only Sheng Qian had been angered by Luo Jie himself, and he had faked the rumours and then Zhao Xiaowei had ran back after finding out about it.

 C232

    After hearing what he had said, Qiao Xuan truly felt that her IQ was far too inferior to Sheng Liang''s. Fortunately, this person was on her side, otherwise, how terrifying would such an opponent be?


    The car in front was finally moving slowly, but it was the rush hour, and they would probably still have a long way to go before the Civil Affairs Bureau.


    Qiao Xuan was not in a hurry, he was only taking a certificate, there was more than enough time.


    Sheng Liang''s cellphone rang. Qiao Xuan inadvertently took a glance and saw that it was Ling Hui calling. It was Sheng Liang, his police friend.


    Sheng Liang looked and immediately picked it up, hearing Ling Hui''s slightly flustered voice: "The Household Registration Center''s computer has been hacked, I think someone has seen the things we prepared."


    Sheng Liang unknowingly looked at Qiao Xuan, and said softly: "I understand."


    Because he was wearing his headphones, Qiao Xuan did not hear what Ling Hui said. She asked casually: "What''s wrong?"


    After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he saw that Qiao Xuan was still looking at him as if he did not believe him. He added, "He said that he''s going to gather together tonight.


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan forced a smile.


    Sheng Liang''s circle only had a few people. And now that Sheng Yan was dead, Luo Keke did not contact them anymore. With two less people, it became much quieter.


    Furthermore, after that day, Sheng Liang had never mentioned Sheng Yan in front of her, so Qiao Xuan did not know whether he, like Luo Keke, hated her or not.


    Sheng Liang''s unease continued until they arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau and were about to get off the car, when he suddenly remembered that Ling Hui had already changed Qiao Xuan''s household register. If they went in now and the staff members checked the information, they would realize that the information in Qiao Xuan''s household book was different from the information on the internet.


    Right now, he couldn''t explain this to her.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan was about to get off the car, Sheng Liang immediately pulled her back: "Hua''er, I suddenly have something to do, let''s come back another day."


    Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment. Although she was not anxious, she was still a little disappointed when Sheng Liang said this.


    She withdrew her hand that was about to push open the carriage door, and sat up straight. She felt a little awkward, and didn''t look at Sheng Liang again.


    Sheng Liang could see that she was depressed. He reached out his hand to rub Qiao Xuan''s hair, "Don''t be angry, we''ll come back in a few days."


    But Qiao Xuan subconsciously avoided his hand, and still did not look at him: "It''s okay, I don''t care."


    She knew in her heart that this was Sheng Liang''s excuse. If he really wanted to go, no matter how big an event this might be, he would first settle this matter.


    Yet, he was looking for an excuse. Did he regret it?


    However, Qiao Xuan did not expose her, and even did not ask her about the reason. He had already decided to do so, and even if she asked, it would not change anything.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to be too petty.


    Sheng Liang was about to send Qiao Xuan back, but Qiao Xuan rejected him. "I want to walk around by myself, you go and busy yourself."


    Sheng Liang wanted to pull her, but she had already opened the car door and got out, quickly disappearing into the crowd.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was heavy, but she was not angry at all. She just walked away, not wanting to argue with Sheng Liang because of some baseless speculation.


    After walking a short distance, she received a message from Sheng Liang, saying that he was still waiting for her at the same place. He would only be at ease if he brought her back personally.


    Sure enough, saying that she couldn''t get a pass was an excuse. She was willing to spend unnecessary time waiting for her, but she didn''t have time to get a stamp.


    Qiao Xuan sat in the seat of a coffee shop and looked outside. Even when the coffee was no longer hot, she did not take a sip.


    Maybe subconsciously, she hoped for Sheng Liang to chase her. As long as he could explain, even if it was a lie, she would be willing to believe it.


    But he never came.


    Actually, it was very easy for Sheng Liang to find her, but she was angry, he felt that he should give her time to calm down.


    While he was waiting in the car, he accidentally turned his head and saw a car whizzing by, and the person sitting at the back was actually Qiao Nan?


    Wasn''t Qiao Nan supposed to be in Yunnan, why was he here?


    And what made him more concerned was that on that carriage, there was a special symbol, which was the symbol of Xilin Family.


    Sheng Liang frowned his eyebrows, looked at the direction Qiao Xuan left in, lowered his head and thought for a bit. Then, without any further hesitation, he turned the steering wheel, and chased after the carriage.


    Qiao Xuan still compromised. She still believed in Sheng Liang, especially after thinking about all the things he had done for her, she knew that Sheng Liang definitely had his own reasons.


    But when she came out of the coffee shop and went back to where they had left each other, she didn''t see his car. She took out her cell phone and called him, but he didn''t answer for a long time.


    Because at that time, Sheng Liang was following Qiao Nan into a bar, and the music inside was loud, so he did not hear his phone ring.


    Sheng Liang saw Qiao Nan squeeze through the crowd and into a hidden passage. He immediately followed suit, but just as he turned a corner, he felt someone''s fist striking towards him. instinctively dodged it, and immediately discovered that he was surrounded.


    Sheng Liang''s gaze swept past them and looked at Qiao Nan, who was behind them, and asked: "Xiao Nan, when did you come back? How did you end up being with these people?"


    Qiao Nan looked at him and sneered, then pushed the people in front of him to walk over: "Xiao Nan? Tell him who I am. "


    The boy with red fur immediately said, "This is our new brother, Xilin New."


    Sheng Liang''s expression became even more dejected. What new Xilin, he was certain that the person in front of him was Qiao Nan, but it was very obvious that his brain had been brainwashed by someone, and he no longer remembered who he was.


    Since he couldn''t get away from the Xilin Family, Sheng Liang was sure that Qiao Nan had been hypnotized by Xilin Fu, and it definitely wasn''t something that had just happened in the past two days. Xilin Fu was probably afraid that he wouldn''t agree to Qi Mingyu''s threats, so he prepared this backup plan of Qiao Nan''s.


    Sheng Liang''s forehead was faintly aching, he was extremely clear of Qiao Xuan''s feelings towards his family. If he did not handle this matter well, Qiao Xuan would definitely lose his rationality and get used by Xilin Fu.


    "Looks like I got the wrong person." He backed away and turned to walk out.


    Qiao Nan was as stubborn as Qiao Xuan. Sheng Liang knew that even if he used forced methods to drag Qiao Nan away, it would be useless. It would only make Qiao Nan more hostile towards him.


    After exiting the bar, Sheng Liang immediately took out his mobile phone to call Luo Jie. Only then did he see that Qiao Xuan''s number was not on the screen, he called it back, but Qiao Xuan did not pick it up.


    When the bell once again rang, Qiao Xuan saw that it was still Sheng Liang''s name, so she simply turned off her phone.


    Xilin Fu looked at her movements, lowered his head and stirred his coffee, then laughed: "Not taking it, maybe he has something important to talk about with you."

 C233

    "Why are you looking for me?" Qiao Xuan avoided his question and looked to the side, looking at the coffee shop where there were still a lot of people. Other than them, he could not see anyone else.


    Xilin Fu leisurely took a sip of the coffee, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Of course I do, I still hope that you can come to Lan Xi to work. I have always kept that office for you."


    Qiao Xuan was silent for a moment, but she was not thinking about how to answer Xilin Fu, but what would happen if Sheng Liang could not get through to her number.


    She was a little regretful that her phone had been turned off. Sheng Liang must have thought that she was still angry and would have been very worried.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Xilin Fu thought that she was shaken, and continued: "It''s still early, how about we go over and take a look?"


    Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked at Xilin Fu blankly: "What did you say?"


    The smile on Xilin Fu''s lips slowly disappeared, and the hint of danger in his eyes was almost unconcealable. "What kind of thing is this that you''re so engrossed in?"


    Although he asked, even if Qiao Xuan did not say it, Xilin Fu knew it was related to Sheng Liang.


    He just did not think that Qiao Xuan would be so distracted in front of him, without concealing anything.


    No one had ever dared to be so distracted in front of him.


    In Xilin Fu''s heart, the displeasure he felt in the beginning, had slowly turned into unwillingness. Even ten years ago, he didn''t feel that he had lost to Sheng Liang, so Qiao Xuan''s previous reaction had really provoked him.


    No matter how slow Qiao Xuan was, she could feel the coldness in Xilin Fu''s tone. She paused for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, she heard the wind chime at the entrance of the coffee shop chiming a few times. She raised her head and saw Sheng Liang walking towards her.


    Xilin Fu also did not turn back, and only waited until Sheng Liang walked closer to them before saying, "Speaking of which, we have not seen each other for ten years, nor have we sat down to reminisce about the past."


    At that time, Sheng Liang had already held onto Qiao Xuan''s hand and planned to take her away immediately. Hearing Xilin Fu''s words, he stopped in his steps, saw that Qiao Xuan was also looking at him suspiciously, turned his gaze towards Xilin Fu and said indifferently, "When Instructor Xilin wants to reminisce about the past, I''ll accompany you anytime, but not today."


    "You can''t do it today, is it because you have something important to deal with?" Xilin Fu smiled as if he was pointing something.


    Sheng Liang knew that he was talking about Qiao Nan. He knew that he wouldn''t tell Qiao Xuan about this, so he was confident.


    In front of Xilin Fu, he had to calm himself down so that his weakness wouldn''t be caught.


    "Of course it''s something very important. Ignoring it, didn''t I fail to live up to Instructor Xilin''s good intentions?" Sheng Liang fearlessly met Xilin Fu''s bottomless eyes.


    The two of them looked at each other, and it seemed as if the air itself had congealed. Even Qiao Xuan, who was at the side, could sense the hidden waves that were surging between them.


    Furthermore, Qiao Xuan was still afraid of Xilin Fu''s hypnosis, she was afraid that Sheng Liang would be hit by it.


    Right now was not the right time, Sheng Liang knew that Xilin Fu would not say it out loud, so he made the first move.


    As expected, Xilin Fu did not speak further. Watching Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan holding hands as they left, he chuckled softly.


    Sheng Liang''s footsteps did not stop until he had boarded the carriage. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, but in his heart, he still did not dare to relax even a single bit.


    Qiao Xuan watched his serious expression from the side, and asked softly: "You knew each other before?"


    Just now, she had heard Sheng Liang addressing Xilin Fu as Instructor in Xilin.


    Sheng Liang did not deny it. Even though not many people knew about this relationship now, it was clear that Xilin Fu did not intend to hide that history anymore by saying it in front of Qiao Xuan.


    The two of them had a brutal and dark experience.


    Sheng Liang nodded his head, "Ten years ago, when I was studying abroad, I was caught in a mysterious organization. It was a place that specialized in cultivating assassins, Xilin Fu was my instructor."


    "Assassin?" Qiao Xuan did not dare believe it, and was also unable to link someone with status like Sheng Liang with the organization, "What happened after that, how did you escape?"


    Sheng Liang paused for a moment, as if he was recalling the past: "I used Xilin Fu, and turned myself into a dead man."


    The meaning of the dead man''s words was that for that organization, he already did not exist, but Qiao Xuan immediately thought of another hidden danger and asked: If Xilin Fu wants to take revenge on you, what if he tells that organization of your existence?


    Sheng Liang smiled meaningfully, "He won''t."


    Even if it was Xilin Fu, who wanted to leave the organization, he had to pay a heavy price, he would not lose his head and head back to that muddy water.


    Seeing that he was so confident, Qiao Xuan knew that he must have considered it more than her and would not make such a mistake, so he did not say anything further.


    She lowered her head, clenched her fingers tightly, and then released them. Sensing Sheng Liang''s gaze on her, she glanced back at him as well, and the two of them spoke in unison, "Sorry."


    Qiao Xuan was startled, but quickly lowered his head.


    Sheng Liang laughed instead. To the likes of them in the past, the word "sorry" probably never came out of their mouth. It was because they cared about each other that they were more afraid of losing it.


    He put his arm around her shoulders and said quietly, "I promise I won''t keep you waiting."


    Sheng Liang had always kept his promise, a fact that Qiao Xuan had never doubted before. However, she was certain now that Sheng Liang definitely had to do it for a reason, which was why she did not want to force him, "It doesn''t matter as long as you want, it doesn''t matter whether I have it or not. It''s enough for you to stay by my side."


    The unease she had when facing Xilin Fu had all disappeared the moment she saw Sheng Liang. He didn''t need to say anything at all;


    Qiao Xuan did not pursue the matter and it also made Sheng Liang heave a sigh of relief. He did not know what kind of reason he should find to make her believe him.


    However, it was better to settle the matter of Qiao Nan as soon as possible.


    After sending Qiao Xuan home, Sheng Liang received a call from Luo Jie, his expression becoming more and more solemn.


    Xilin Fu actually wanted Qiao Nan to help him sell the Immortal''s Drunken Wine!


    However, Qiao Nan was still hypnotized, he did not even know who he was. Even if he wanted to help Qiao Nan, that brat would not cooperate with him.


    "Young Master Liang, about Qiao Nan, do you need me to tell you that selling immortals is not a small crime? If you were to be discovered by the Miss Qiao, I''m afraid she would hate you." Luo Jie said worriedly.


    Telling Qiao Xuan would only make the situation worse, and with Qiao Xuan''s personality, if she knew that Xilin Fu had done that to Qiao Nan, she would definitely give it her all.


    "Continue to follow Qiao Nan. You don''t need to do anything, just keep an eye on him." Sheng Liang''s eyes turned cold. He wanted to see just what other plans Xilin Fu had.

 C234

    When he looked up, he saw that Qiao Nan and the other delinquents had already left the bar room and were sitting in a white Maserati sports car. He sighed inwardly, Xilin Fu was really willing to let that car go, that car would at least cost over three million, no wonder Qiao Nan was so determined to win.


    In the city, they did not drive very fast, but Luo Jie quickly noticed that they were purposely circling around, either because they noticed that he was following them or because they were afraid of being followed by someone.


    Luo Jie did not dare to get too close and follow them from afar.


    After another two laps, they drove south, out of the city, and toward the outskirts.


    Knowing that they were about to make a move, Luo Jie didn''t dare to be negligent at all and followed closely behind them.


    Seeing that their car had entered the gates of a plant, Luo Jie parked the car in a hidden corner, looked at the surrounding environment, and as a precaution, he still took a photo and sent it to Sheng Liang, then got off the car, climbed over the wall and entered.


    However, just as he jumped down from the wall, he heard footsteps behind him. He abruptly turned his head, and before he could see clearly, he had already been knocked unconscious.


    Sheng Liang received the photo from Luo Jie, he knew that Luo Jie had discovered something, and immediately dialed Luo Jie''s number, to remind him not to act rashly, but when he called, he found that he could not get through at the moment.


    Sheng Liang''s heart sank a bit as the unease from before surfaced again. He did not hesitate and immediately took his jacket and left.


    Before getting into the car, he enlarged the picture again and again, saw the sign on the building next to it, and confirmed the location.


    When he got there, he saw that Luo Jie''s car was still parked under a tree on the street. The red iron door of the factory was closed, and there was a surveillance camera installed.


    The person inside should have seen him coming from the surveillance camera. The door slowly opened from the inside.


    Just as Sheng Liang was about to go in, he saw another car quickly driving over and stopped not too far away from him.


    He was extremely familiar with this car, it was Qiao Xuan''s car.


    With a face full of doubt and panic, he asked with a trembling voice: "When did Xiao Nan come back? Why didn''t you tell me? What do you want him to do for you?"


    Actually, when he saw Qiao Xuan appearing here, Sheng Liang already knew in his heart what was going on. Xilin Fu was truly impatient.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang did not answer, Qiao Xuan took out his phone and played a message. It was from the conversation that Luo Jie had with him before he came.


    "What is it that I cannot know? What is Immortal Drunk?" Qiao Xuan also didn''t want to doubt Sheng Liang, so she gave him a chance to explain.


    But Sheng Liang didn''t say anything, and there was nothing he could say either. He understood in his heart that Xilin Fu''s trap was definitely not only so, it would be useless even if he tried to explain.


    Although she didn''t want to believe a bit of Xilin Fu''s words, she also wished to hear that the recording was fake from him. But he didn''t deny it, could it be that it was just as Xilin Fu said, that he was still making use of the two siblings?


    While the two of them were silent, the door opened. Qiao Nan walked out from inside, and looked at Sheng Liang with a provocative smile.


    Qiao Xuan saw that Qiao Nan had a head of golden hair, wearing a black leather jacket on her upper body and ears. Her lower body was loose and loose pants, and the shamelessness on her face made her seem like a delinquent. She unknowingly frowned her brows and grabbed hold of, saying, "What are you wearing, let''s go home."


    Sheng Liang originally thought that Qiao Nan wouldn''t recognize him, since he had been hypnotized, but Qiao Nan said to Qiao Xuan: "Sis, get on the carriage first, I want to talk to my brother-in-law."


    Hearing him say that, Qiao Xuan unknowingly looked at Sheng Liang, and sure enough, Qiao Nan becoming like this had something to do with Sheng Liang, but seeing that Qiao Nan was insisting, she could only get on the carriage.


    Qiao Nan walked in front of Sheng Liang and laughed: "Now do you know the outcome of having people follow me?"


    "Where''s Luo Jie?" Sheng Liang did not pay attention to him. He was completely controlled by Xilin Fu, even his tone of voice was the same as that person.


    "Luo Jie?" Qiao Nan laughed mischievously, "The guy who was following me, he is quite sincere to you. His ten fingers were almost broken, but he refused to listen to me.


    Sheng Liang slowly clenched his fists, but his face still didn''t change at all. "What do you want him to do?"


    Qiao Nan''s gaze moved away as she looked at the direction of Luo Jie''s car: "What''s in his car, you should understand, even if I wanted him to turn himself in to the police and reveal the mastermind behind it, he wouldn''t even open his mouth if he died so there''s nothing I could do to help him."


    So, they had purposely tricked Luo Jie here, and filled his car with prohibited goods.


    Then there was Qiao Xuan. When Sheng Liang thought about it, maybe when he went to the coffee shop to look for Qiao Xuan, Xilin Fu''s men had installed a bug in his car and purposely cut off that recording that Qiao Xuan made a mistake on.


    Therefore, Xilin Fu''s goal was for him to admit that he was the leader of the group that was always active in Sang City, and even the entire Asian region that sold immortals.


    Seeing that he did not react, Qiao Nan went closer and whispered, "I heard that that fellow''s wife is pregnant, and his mother is already so old. If they saw him crying like this, what would happen?"


    Xilin Fu had set such a huge trap, so naturally, it was to block off all escape routes for him. How could he not know how important Luo Jie and Qing Qing were to him?


    Most importantly, he clearly knew the truth, but he could not refute it. If it was anyone else, he would not be threatened.


    "I know what to do, but you tell Xilin Fu, I hope he will keep his promise." After Sheng Liang finished speaking, he was already walking towards his car.


    Qiao Nan laughed from behind: "Sheng Liang is only so-so, Seventh Elder overestimated him too much."


    Seeing Sheng Liang driving away, Qiao Xuan frowned. When Qiao Nan got on the car, he immediately asked: "What did you tell him?"


    Qiao Nan shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "Sis, you saw it as well, it was Sheng Liang who tricked me back from Yunnan to help him sell his goods, and even threatened me to not tell you, I told him to turn himself in because of you, and he actually became angry, and said that to him, you are not important at all, Sis, someone like you, you better stay away from him."


    "You said that Sheng Liang tricked you back?" Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Nan closely, the knot between his brows growing even deeper. "Did he tell you about Little Luo?"

 C235

    Qiao Nan''s expression clearly paused for a moment, and then, she turned her head away, not daring to meet Qiao Xuan''s gaze. "That''s right."


    Qiao Xuan reached out to help him wash his seat belt, and said gently: "That''s fine too, don''t go back this time, Mom and Dad really miss you."


    "I''ll listen to you, Sis." Qiao Nan giggled.


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan reversed the car and headed towards his home.


    Qiao Nan sat at the side as his fingers quickly typed on the phone screen, then he gave the number to Seventh Master.


    When Xilin Fu received the message, he took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring slowly. Through the earphones, he could still hear the sound of the wind coming from Sheng Liang''s side.


    Only when he finally heard the police talking to Sheng Liang did Xilin Fu smile. He took off his earphones and muttered to himself, "With so many scruples, you still want to win against me? Heh."


    He tapped his fingers on the computer keyboard and created a monitoring screen. It was where Luo Jie was located, and when he saw the person inside, his face immediately darkened.


    How could it be, how could it be Sheng Liang?


    Seeing that Luo Jie''s group had already been knocked onto the ground, Sheng Liang walked over and untied the ropes on Luo Jie''s body. He checked Luo Jie''s body, although there was a lot of blood on his clothes, it was fortunate that they were all superficial wounds.


    "Young Master Liang," Luo Jie said as he looked at Sheng Liang self-reproach. He had been too careless and fell into his trap.


    Sheng Liang did not say anything. He turned around and looked at the camera at the corner of the wall.


    Xilin Fu looked at Sheng Liang''s indifferent expression and his eyes that were like cold ponds, as if he was being mocked endlessly. Xilin Fu''s eyes went completely cold, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the computer on the ground.


    He thought that his plan was flawless, but why did Sheng Liang, who should be at the police station, appear here?


    The only possibility was that of Qiao Nan, unless Sheng Liang had solved the hidden meaning in Qiao Nan''s heart, allowing him to walk out from his trance.


    However, in order to not let this happen, he even made Qiao Xuan misunderstand. Why would she cooperate with Sheng Liang?


    It seems that he had underestimated Qiao Xuan, as expected, she was not an ordinary woman.


    Sheng Liang brought Luo Jie out, and when Qiao Xuan saw them, he immediately got off the car, looked at Luo Jie and said: "How are you, go to the hospital first."


    "No need ¡­" Luo Jie anxiously waved his hands.


    Before he could finish, Sheng Liang had already pushed him into the car: "Could it be that you want to go back with a body covered in blood?


    Seeing that Sheng Liang''s expression was not good, Luo Jie did not dare to reject and followed them to the hospital.


    While the doctor was bandaging Luo Jie, Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan stood outside in the corridor. Sheng Liang held Qiao Xuan''s hand and asked softly: "Xiao Nan went back home?"


    "Yes." Qiao Xuan unconsciously grabbed onto Sheng Liang''s arm and leaned on his shoulder, feeling a little lingering fear in his heart. If she didn''t realize that Qiao Nan was lying and had her suspicions, she would have secretly sent a message to Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang took the chance and gently embraced her, lowering his head and kissed the top of her head: "Sorry, I brought Nan in too."


    He had always arranged for people to protect the Qiao Family''s parents, but he never would have thought that Xilin Fu would actually bring Qiao Nan back from Yunnan.


    When Qiao Xuan sent him the message, he was carefully moving the bug to another car, and had the driver of the other car go to the police station in place of him. This way, Xilin Fu wouldn''t doubt his location.


    However, what made him most gratified was that Qiao Xuan trusted him this much.


    Qiao Xuan shook his head lightly: "I don''t blame you, it was Xilin Fu who was too despicable."


    With so many people by Sheng Liang''s side, how could he take them all into consideration.


    Sheng Liang declined to comment. Xilin Fu had always used whatever methods he could. He had said before that relationships were a person''s greatest weakness, so he never needed them.


    Qiao Xuan let go of Sheng Liang''s hand and suddenly asked, "How did you deal with the things in your carriage?"


    Sheng Liang initially did not plan to tell her, but this matter was related to Qiao Nan.


    Qiao Xuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood. The reason Sheng Liang did this was to protect Qiao Nan, so she leaned on Sheng Liang again and said: "Thank you."


    However, at this time, if he said so many polite words, it would actually distance the two of them. Sheng Liang did not say anything, and only hugged Qiao Xuan a little tighter.


    When Luo Jie came out and saw their intimate actions, he felt embarrassed and walked over to them, afraid that he would disturb them. However, even though Qiao Xuan saw that he still came out, he immediately straightened up and still held onto Sheng Liang''s arm: "If you are afraid that Qing Qing is worried, and is not convenient to go back to, then stay outside for two days. I will go tell Qing Qing that you have something to tell him that you have gone out of the city."


    Luo Jie scratched his head and laughed: "This injury is nothing, she''s already used to it. If I didn''t go back, I''m afraid she wouldn''t be able to sleep at night."


    Qiao Xuan could understand that feeling. If she was in his place, she would probably be the same as Qing Qing, so she wouldn''t force him.


    Luo Jie took a taxi back, causing one of Sheng Liang''s cars to burn and another to be towed away by the trailer. Qiao Xuan sent him home, and seeing that he did not get off the car for a long time, he thought that he still had something to say, but after waiting for a while, he did not say anything. He only warned her to drive carefully, and give him a call when he got home.


    But even if he didn''t say it, Qiao Xuan understood in his heart. Sheng Liang wanted to promise her something, but he was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to do it, so he didn''t dare to easily promise her.


    "Sheng Liang, you said that after everything is settled, you would marry me. I will wait for you." Seeing him push open the car door, Qiao Xuan said as he looked at his back.


    "Yes." Sheng Liang agreed softly.


    Even if it was only this one word, Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang would not go back on his words.


    When he returned home, Qiao Xuan saw that Qiao Nan had dyed his hair back to its original color and he was dressed normally. He was currently sitting on the sofa with his parents and watching television.


    As he spoke, he winked at her.


    Qiao Xuan immediately understood and pretended to have just heard that he came back from Yunnan. Using her usual tone, she taunted, "Didn''t you say that Er Hai has your dreams? It''s only been a few days and he can''t hold on?"


    "Compared to home, your dreams are much more important," Qiao Nan hugged her mother''s shoulders as she said in a spoiled manner, "Am I right, Mom?"


    After not seeing Qiao Nan for so long, the Qiao family''s parents were still missing him, but they had initially said that they would support his dream, so it was not good to go back on his word. Now that he had come back by himself, it was equivalent to giving them an excuse, but he was still a little afraid that Qiao Xuan would object, so when Qiao Nan said that, the Qiao family''s parents all looked at Qiao Xuan: "It must be because the family is more important, right, Hua''er?"


    How could Qiao Xuan not understand their thoughts? However, he still purposely sighed and said: "I''ve already said this before, he can''t do anything well. It''s better for him to stay at home obediently."

 C236

    This was probably the first time the two siblings coordinated with each other. If Qiao Xuan agreed directly, it would cause his parents to worry.


    Seeing Qiao Nan secretly give her an ''ok'' sign, Qiao Xuan pushed open the door and entered his room.


    He called Sheng Liang and told him that he was back home. When he heard the fatigue in Sheng Liang''s voice, he did not say anymore, so he could rest early.


    Sheng Liang hung up, looked at the uninvited guest standing in front of him, and slowly sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. "You can come in, but you may not be able to leave."


    A person dressed in black stood not far from the door, and looked at Sheng Liang with the same respectful expression as before, "I have come to help you."


    "In the past, I wouldn''t have doubted you saying those words, but now ¡­" Sheng Liang did not continue. Perhaps, deep in his heart, he did not know what the answer was.


    "It''s the same now." The man said confidently.


    Sheng Liang''s eyes slightly contracted, but the emotions on his face couldn''t be seen. "You killed Sheng Yan, so you know the relationship between him and me."


    That''s right, the one in front of him right now was Xu Yi, he never thought that Xu Yi would come back here.


    Xu Yi frowned slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but after taking half a step forward, he retreated a step back, "If he doesn''t die, you will be in danger."


    Sheng Liang glanced to the side, but did not argue with him, he only said: "Speak, why have you come here to adventure?"


    "Xilin Fu had always been secretly searching for the little girl who set a fire and burned his foster father to death. I know that little girl is the Miss Qiao, and what happened back then, actually, wasn''t anything wrong with the Miss Qiao. Therefore, "Xu Yi continued to speak," As long as Miss Qiao is willing to stand out and testify that Xilin Fu is the person who imprisoned her when she was young, Xilin Fu would lose all his reputation.


    "Xu Yi!" Sheng Liang interrupted him with a cold voice, "What you said just now, I will pretend that I didn''t hear it, and it would be best if you keep it in your stomach. If you dare to say a single word, I will let you know what it means to rather die than to live!"


    Xu Yi was startled for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile: I''m not even afraid of death, what''s there to fear about living a life worse than death, but since Young Master Liang is not willing to let Miss Qiao know, I will not force you, I will think of another way.


    Seeing Xu Yi turning to leave, Sheng Liang hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "In the end, who are you working for?"


    Xu Yi''s hand rested on the doorknob, her head drooped slightly, and only after a long while did she say: "There are some people who, from birth, are destined to live for the sake of others. I am not unwilling, I know that I am redeeming myself."


    Sheng Liang definitely did not understand the meaning behind his words, but he knew that Sheng Liang trusted him somewhat. Otherwise, no matter how careful he was, he would not be able to come and go as he pleased.


    Inside the huge villa, the previous dead silence returned to Sheng Liang. He suddenly thought of the commander, opened the door, and walked to the commander''s hut.


    It didn''t scream just now because it was not drugged or knocked unconscious by Xu Yi. It was because it still treated Xu Yi as someone close to it.


    Perhaps, the senses of an animal were sharper than that of a human''s.


    Although he was unwilling to admit it, after the incident with Shengyan, he had carefully checked his computer and found that there were some important documents that had been checked by someone.


    As for his computer, it had a firewall on it. Even a top hacker would have to spend some effort to break it. It was impossible for him not to notice.


    As for the password, he had only told it to Sheng Yan.


    After thinking about it a little further, he came up with many answers.


    It was just that, exactly who was it that, before he was even aware of it, had already found out Sheng Yan''s goal, and even made Xu Yi so dead set on doing it?


    On the 23rd floor of the Fuhua Hotel, a private party was taking place.


    When Zhao Xiaowei appeared at the door dressed in a light blue evening gown, a few men immediately surrounded her and enthusiastically greeted her. They were all famous elites of the Sang City.


    However, Zhao Xiaowei''s gaze went past them and landed on Sheng Qian who was flirting with a woman in the corner. Especially when he saw Sheng Qian''s hand caressing that woman''s thigh, Zhao Xiaowei''s fingers that were holding the bag more and more tightly.


    "Miss Zhao, I''m about to make a new movie. I wonder if Miss Zhao is interested?" A director walked over with a wine cup in his hand and asked Zhao Xiaowei with a smile.


    Sheng Qian was currently engaged with the woman, and did not notice it at all. Although Zhao Xiaowei was mentally prepared, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.


    Seeing that Zhao Xiaowei did not react, the director held her shoulder tentatively: "Miss Zhao, are you alright?"


    Zhao Xiaowei frowned, she instinctively wanted to shake off his hand, but when she saw that Sheng Qian''s gaze was inadvertently looking in her direction, she raised her lips and laughed at the director, "I have some time recently, why don''t we find a quiet place to talk about the details?"


    "Please." The director bent his body slightly and made a welcoming gesture, revealing a wretched smile.


    Zhao Xiaowei followed the director out. Seeing him push open the door to a room and invite her in, Zhao Xiaowei hesitated and did not move.


    She was doing this on purpose for Sheng Qian to see, she didn''t really want to talk about some new movie with this guy. Furthermore, as an old artiste who had fought in the entertainment circle for so many years, how could she not know the hidden intentions of this director.


    "I almost forgot. I haven''t said hello to Mr. Zhou yet. I''ll go first." Zhao Xiaowei said, then turned and headed back.


    "Eh, what''s the problem? Mr. Zhou has so many customers, so he won''t mind. It won''t be too late to greet him after we finish chatting." The director grabbed Zhao Xiaowei''s wrist.


    Zhao Xiaowei had never been afraid of anyone before, because he had always had the thought of withdrawing from the entertainment circle at any time, so he had never let himself suffer a loss.


    However, when she saw the news that Sheng Qian was staying at a hotel with another woman, she realized that if she left this circle, she probably wouldn''t even have the chance to face Sheng Qian face him face to face anymore, which was why she took the initiative to return. How could she offend the man in front of her right now?


    In fact, she was just about to grab hold of the director''s hand and throw him over her shoulder when she suddenly thought of that and her hand stopped.


    While she was in a daze, the director saw her holding his hand and thought that she was inviting him in. He was overjoyed and opened the door, pushing Zhao Xiaowei in.


    Even at this moment, Zhao Xiaowei was not afraid. She knew that this man was no match for her, and if he dared to go overboard, she had a way to make it difficult for him to speak.


    However, when she entered the room, she realized that it was not the case. He did not enter this room as he wished!

 C237

    There were a few men in the room, each working on their own things. Although this scene looked similar to a normal studio, Zhao Xiaowei immediately understood that they were going to make that kind of small movie.


    What made her hair stand on end was the sound of the person behind her locking the door, followed by his voice above her head saying, "What an unexpected gain. I never thought that such a small production would actually be done by Miss Zhao. It looks like I''m going to make a fortune."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s mind was buzzing. She only reacted when she saw the scene in front of her, she did not know this so-called director at all. At that time, all of her attention was on Sheng Qian, and when this man came over to strike up a conversation, about what new movie he was going to shoot, she treated him as a director.


    Zhao Xiaowei turned and was about to open the door: "Sorry, you found the wrong person."


    Seeing her turn around, he immediately blocked her door: "I know Miss Zhao is an expert in karate. But no matter how strong you are, you can''t handle all of us.


    Zhao Xiaowei frowned, and kicked the man''s crotch, but the man seemed to have expected her to have such a hand, and easily dodged, and when Zhao Xiaowei had just retracted his leg and wasn''t able to stand steadily, he suddenly hugged her upper body, and with one hand covering her mouth, he said to the person inside: "What are you doing, come over here and tie her up, and gag her."


    Seeing the two men carrying a rope over, Zhao Xiaowei felt fear from the bottom of her heart. She struggled up with all her might, wanting to bite the hand that was covering her mouth.


    But the man suddenly let go of her hand. Zhao Xiaowei didn''t bite her, but Zhao Xiaowei still didn''t have the chance to shout out, and the moment that hand let go, something was stuffed into her mouth, almost pressing into her throat, forcing her to the point of crying.


    After that, her body was tied up by a rope. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to break free.


    "It''s better to save some energy for later before we struggle. The audience loves to watch these kinds of strong scenes." The man smiled sinisterly.


    Zhao Xiaowei was carried by a man who was only wrapped in a towel and threw onto the big bed. He was very strong, so when Zhao Xiaowei''s head struck the bed, it immediately went blank.


    If only she had known earlier, she would have done the same as usual. When she saw Sheng Qian flirting with other women, she would have immediately chased that woman away instead of throwing a tantrum with him and trying to strike up a conversation with him.


    This time, she could not even keep her innocence anymore, let alone hope for a future with Sheng Qian.


    Zhao Xiaowei thought, and his tears started streaming down his face.


    "Hurry up, hurry up. Take a picture of this expression. That''s great. As expected of a celebrity who has won a prize before. You only know how to find out what it feels like." The director at the side directed them and saw how professional Zhao Xiaowei was being and how she was perfectly showing off her good figure. He then rubbed his hands, "Let''s hurry up and start, we don''t have that much time to dawdle."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s mind was still in a daze, but when she realised that two hands were ripping off her clothes, she suddenly became clear-headed and struggled, but she did not know that the more she did that, the more the men around her boiled over.


    With something stuffed in his mouth, he was unable to scream, and his body was unable to struggle free from the restraints of the dirty hands. It was as if Zhao Xiaowei''s heart had sunk into an endless abyss, he was about to lose all hope.


    The skirt of the evening dress was cut apart, revealing her two long, white, and beautiful legs. A few hands caressed her smooth and clean skin, causing the bottom of Zhao Xiaowei''s heart to turn cold, as if he was about to vomit.


    Bastard! These bastards! She will definitely kill them all!


    Zhao Xiaowei roared in her heart, but she gradually felt that she couldn''t even resist the urge to struggle.


    If this continued, she would really be finished. Sheng Qian, he''s right next door, why isn''t he coming to save her?


    Zhao Xiaowei thought of the past. Although Sheng Qian would always mock and ridicule her, every time she was in trouble, he would be the first one to stand out and help her settle it. If someone bullied her, he would always stand in front of her.


    Actually, it was already good that he was acting like this. What more was he asking for?


    Zhao Xiaowei felt that she was probably the most foolish woman in the world. It was no wonder that Sheng Qian didn''t like her.


    She burst into tears for her own hindsight.


    If Sheng Qian found out about today''s matter, he would definitely scold her to death.


    There was a sudden bang on the balcony, followed by the shattering of the glass. The few people who had pressed her all stopped moving and looked towards the source of the sound.


    "Zhao Xiaowei, you idiot, will you die if you don''t find trouble for me!"


    When Zhao Xiaowei heard this voice, he immediately opened his eyes and saw that the people who were taking advantage of her just now were all instantly kicked flying. And the person who was already in front of her and taking off his jacket and covering her body, wasn''t that Sheng Qian?


    In the end, he had still come to save her.


    Even in this situation, she was still happy.


    What she was afraid of the most was that Sheng Qian would no longer bother with her ever again.


    After throwing all the men onto the ground, Sheng Qian removed an iron rod from their equipment and slowly walked over: "Which claw touched her just now, stick it out for yourself."


    At this time, Sheng Qian''s expression was just like that of a demon''s. Those people all felt their bodies tremble, but they knew what he was going to do, so none of them were willing to sit and wait for death. Furthermore, they had a lot of people, so they were just unprepared.


    Seeing them climb up from the ground and swarm towards him, Sheng Qian snorted coldly. It was only a few moves, yet he had already knocked them down again.


    "I am only crippling your hands. It would seem that I have let you all off too lightly. If I were to see it, I would not have looked at it. I should have, dug out your eyeballs." Sheng Qian laughed sinisterly, his expression somewhat terrifying.


    They finally knew that they had messed with someone they shouldn''t have. The director had thought that Zhao Xiaowei had gone against the company and that no one would protect her anymore, hence he dared to be so bold. He did not expect that this Demon Young Master was actually her backer, and was truly a lucky thief.


    Just as Sheng Qian''s bodyguards were knocking on the door, Sheng Qian handed them over to them. He turned around and saw that Zhao Xiaowei was still on the ground, not moving, and was about to curse at her, only to see her face full of tears.

 C238

    When Sheng Qian carried Zhao Xiaowei out of the room, the party beside them was still continuing, so no one noticed them.


    Sheng Qian originally thought that Zhao Xiaowei was scared silly by what was happening since he was this quiet. Although this woman usually made a ruckus, in the end, she was still a woman, so it was normal for her to be scared.


    But when he put her in the car, and just as he was about to leave, not only did Zhao Xiaowei not let go of his neck, she hugged him even more tightly, and kissed him with her somewhat ice-cold lips.


    "Zhao Xiaowei, you''re courting death ¡ª" Sheng Qian frowned, extended his hand and was about to push Zhao Xiaowei away.


    Zhao Xiaowei''s eyes were still covered by a layer of mist, and her voice was still as humble and pleading as it had never been before: "Just this once, I beg you ¡­"


    Sheng Qian''s brows furrowed even more. Seeing her like this, his body actually did not move at all, allowing Zhao Xiaowei to kiss him.


    The lights in the parking lot at night were dim, but for the two of them, it seemed to have become a protective color, or perhaps a catalyst for some sort of emotion.


    But suddenly, from an unknown corner, a flash of white light shone and the sound of a camera came out. Sheng Qian immediately released Zhao Xiaowei and looked around cautiously, but he did not even notice a shadow.


    "I''ll take you home." Sheng Qian got in the car and said to Zhao Xiaowei who was behind him.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t say anything as well, and looked at Sheng Qian from behind. After a while, he asked, "Did you really not like me at all?"


    It was only now that Sheng Qian realized that she was still the Zhao Xiaowei who was humble and submissive when she was in school. Even though she had experienced so many storms in the entertainment circle over the years, like a proud queen in the eyes of outsiders, her heart was still the same as before.


    The girl who blushed and had her heart beating because of his kiss, the girl who had been isolated by the girls of the whole school because of an unintentional action of his, he actually knew all about it.


    But he couldn''t like her, couldn''t love her.


    Even without Qiao Xuan, it was impossible for him to be with her.


    "Stop daydreaming, how could I possibly like you?" Sheng Qian retracted his gaze, covering up the emotions in the depths of his eyes.


    When Zhao Xiaowei heard his words, she was not disappointed, because she did not hold much hope in the beginning either. On the contrary, she let out a sigh of relief and reluctantly smiled: "Un, I know that I''m dreaming, but with tonight, I''m satisfied."


    "Zhao Xiaowei..." Sheng Qian realized that something was amiss. Could she be planning to do something stupid?


    Zhao Xiaowei gently took off his jacket, and said lightly: "Put me down here, I want to walk around by myself."


    "Zhao Xiaowei..." Sheng Qian sighed, "Don''t be so willful, it''s the middle of the night, you''re dressed like this and wandering the streets, what if you meet a bad guy?"


    "Stop the car." However, Zhao Xiaowei acted as if she did not hear him, and said indifferently: "Since you can''t give me what I want, then be more cruel to me, and be more heartless, and don''t care about my life or death, I don''t want to, I don''t want to continue pestering myself into this one love affair with no results, let me go, Sheng Qian."


    Actually, she should have already made up her mind to do this, but she kept harboring the thought that she got lucky time and time again. She thought that Sheng Qian would help her, so she still had a chance.


    But if you don''t love, then you don''t love. Who can force themselves to do so? What you get with humble begging is only sympathy, not love.


    Sheng Qian tightly gripped the steering wheel until he saw that she was about to push open the car door.


    After parking the car by the side of the road, Zhao Xiaowei immediately stepped forward. Her evening dress had been cut, and in the warm and cold night, it looked exceptionally desolate.


    She took a few steps, and the heel of her high heels was broken. She simply took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the street. A wave of cold quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her entire body.


    Sheng Qian sat in the car and looked at her closely. He couldn''t say what he felt, his heart ached, his guilt, and the struggle to tell her the truth.


    If only there had been no such misunderstanding.


    Sheng Qian watched as Zhao Xiaowei returned home before leaving. The bodyguard called him, saying that the few people had already taught him a lesson, and that the things they had snapped had been destroyed.


    However, the next day, the news still showed pictures of them kissing in the parking lot. His face had been hit in the mosaic, and between his words, he was also criticizing Zhao Xiaowei for seducing men.


    Thinking about it, the person who was secretly taking pictures last night, was probably hired by a female star from another company. She wanted to add insult to injury by completely forcing Zhao Xiaowei out of the entertainment circle.


    Thus, early in the morning, Sheng Qian went to find Sheng Liang. No matter what, Sheng Liang was Zhao Xiaowei''s boss now, he could not just sit there and watch.


    "Why are you so nervous for her? Why don''t you just stand out and clarify things for her?" Even if the photo couldn''t clearly see his face, he could still recognize Sheng Qian''s figure.


    Besides, who else other than Sheng Qian could make Zhao Xiaowei take the initiative to kiss him?


    "I''m not here to fight with you. Can you help me or not?" Sheng Qian''s face also did not look good.


    Sheng Liang looked at him and sneered: "Really? I don''t think you''re here to beg me."


    Sheng Qian gritted his teeth, "Zhao Xiaowei getting blacklisted is not good for you either!"


    "You still don''t understand the entertainment industry. If you don''t want to advertise, then do it. All the people in power see benefits. What does her reputation have to do with me?" Sheng Liang said lightly.


    Sheng Qian did not care about this nonsense as she coldly said, "If it were Qiao Xuan, I don''t believe that you would still say such things!"


    "Of course, because she is my woman. If it were her, I would not let her bear the burden alone." Sheng Liang looked at Sheng Qian, pausing after each word, "If you are a man, you must learn how to take responsibility."


    Sheng Qian tilted his head and muttered: "You don''t know anything, but you speak quite easily."


    If he stood out, it would be equivalent to admitting his relationship with Zhao Xiaowei. Zhao Xiaowei would definitely believe it to be true, and at that time, it would be simply impossible to get rid of him.


    Even though he forced Sheng Qian to such an extent, he was still unwilling to let go. Sheng Liang knew that there must be some hidden secrets that others did not know about, since he never thought that it would be difficult for Sheng Qian.


    "You don''t need to meddle in Zhao Xiaowei''s affairs, the company will naturally do the same. The one in trouble now is you, the ones who were crippled by you last night have already reported to the police, you should think about how to take care of the aftermath." Sheng Liang said casually.


    Sheng Qian snorted in disdain: "They still dare to call the police, are they calculating that I won''t be able to give them the evidence?"


    However, all of this was not what Sheng Liang was concerned about. He was silent for a while, pretending to ask casually: "Recently, have you been going back to your dwelling?"

 Chapter 239

    Sheng Qian shook his head: "the old man is mysterious recently. I don''t know what he''s doing. Except for the housekeeper, other servants have been dismissed by him. I called to go home and was scolded by him, so I didn''t go back."


    In fact, this anomaly was felt when Sheng Liang went back last time. The words Sheng Tianhao said to him obviously have other meanings, including Sheng Tianhao''s so urgent and so decisive announcement to sever the relationship with him. There is a strange feeling, but too many things have happened during this period of time, and he has no time to think clearly.


    Today, he suddenly asked Sheng Qian because he heard Ling Hui say that Sheng Tianhao went to the police station to report the theft at home, but the police went to the shengzhai for evidence, but they didn''t find any signs of being turned over or of outsiders entering. Ling Hui told him that the old man should feel lonely.


    Although Sheng Liang doesn''t think Sheng Tianhao will be childish to this extent, it seems that he should go back.


    I had a meeting at the company and specially explained Zhao Xiaowei. Nothing happened at noon. Sheng Liang drove to shengzhai.


    When the car drove into the courtyard, Sheng Liang saw a figure walking out the back door. Wearing black clothes, hats and glasses, he soon disappeared from his sight.


    But he will never admit his mistake. That''s Xu Yi.


    Sheng Liangmei''s heart beat. He immediately stopped the car and walked up the steps. Instead of knocking on the door, he directly opened the glass door next to him and went in.


    Sheng Tianhao was about to go upstairs. When he heard the sound, he turned back and saw Sheng Liang. He looked dark: "what are you doing here!"


    When Sheng Liang saw Xu Yi just now, he unconsciously thought of Sheng Yan and worried that Sheng Tianhao would also have an accident, so he was a little reckless.


    However, such actions are absolutely not allowed in Sheng Tianhao''s eyes. From small to large, Sheng Tianhao has very strict requirements for their sons. Therefore, even if Sheng Liang has resentment in his heart because of his mother''s relationship for so many years, he still instinctively awes Sheng Tianhao.


    Seeing that Sheng Tianhao was all right, he was secretly relieved and respectfully said, "it''s all right. I just came back to have a look."


    "Hum, come back and see if I''m dead?" Sheng Tianhao said coldly, and then glanced over his head impatiently. "I''m afraid I let you down. I''m still alive."


    Hearing what he said, Sheng Liang was relaxed: "I hope you can say that forever."


    Whether Sheng Tianhao saw it or not, Sheng Liang bowed to him slightly, and then walked out.


    Hearing his voice of opening the door and going out, Sheng Tianhao turned around and looked at the direction of the door. After a while, he took back his sight and shouted, "housekeeper Zhao, are you ready?"


    "Ready, sir." housekeeper Zhao came out and stood respectfully under the stairs.


    In Sheng Tianhao''s always sharp eyes, there is a warm smile at the moment: "wait, Xiao Si hasn''t come yet."


    "Why don''t I call the fourth young master?" Sheng Qian was scolded when he called last time. I''m afraid he won''t come on his own initiative.


    Sheng Tianhao shook his head: "it''s just to see if he has this heart. It''s barely interesting."


    Housekeeper Zhao stopped talking, looked at Sheng Tianhao and went upstairs with his hands on his back, and sighed slightly.


    It''s not that Sheng Qian didn''t have that heart. When Sheng Liang asked him if he had ever returned to the mansion, he realized that there might be something wrong, so he also planned to go back and have a look.


    But halfway through his car, he saw Zhao Xiaowei sitting in a man''s car. The two said they were laughing. His anger immediately came up and turned around and followed up.


    What''s the matter with this woman? She was almost stripped off and made a small film yesterday. Did she forget it so soon?


    Especially when they saw their car parked at the door of a hotel, when they went in, the man also took Zhao Xiaowei''s shoulder, and Zhao Xiaowei accepted it happily and didn''t hide at all!


    Sheng Qian immediately stopped the car, threw the key to the doorman and quickly walked in, but he was still a step late. They had entered the elevator. When he wanted to run, the elevator door had been closed.


    And Zhao Xiaowei saw him clearly, but he didn''t even look at him.


    Sheng Qian was so angry that he kicked the wall next to him, and then a security guard came forward and pulled him away.


    Sheng Qian shook off the security guard''s hand and went to the front desk to ask Zhao Xiaowei''s room number. The front desk lady told him almost without hesitation.


    Watching him go away, the receptionist asked the people next to him, "was that Sheng Qian? How handsome!"


    "Yes, yes, I''m really handsome. I really want to marry him!" another receptionist made a heart-shaped gesture.


    The older receptionist sniffed: "don''t be a flower maniac. Are rich families so easy to marry? Besides, don''t you hear? The person he''s looking for is Zhao Xiaowei, a big star."


    Several young girls immediately vented their anger.


    When Sheng Qian reached the 22nd floor, he walked out of the elevator and just saw Zhao Xiaowei and the man enter a room at the end of the corridor. As he walked there, he took off his coat, slowly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and was ready to fight with the man.


    And Zhao Xiaowei, that stupid woman. If she really doesn''t want to be in the entertainment industry, get home as soon as possible and don''t get him into trouble all day.


    Sheng Qian walked to the door of the room and could hear laughter inside. He knocked patiently. It was the man who came to open the door. Sheng Qian grabbed his collar and pushed him in.


    The man was surprised and asked, "who are you and what are you doing?"


    "It doesn''t matter who I am, but I tell you, Zhao Xiaowei -" not everyone can touch!


    Sheng Qian stopped halfway, because he saw Zhao Xiaowei coming out of it. He had changed his clothes and was wearing only a bathrobe. His eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously. He pushed away the man and walked to Zhao Xiaowei: "what''s your nerve? Come with me!"


    But Zhao Xiaowei dodged his hand, put his hands around his chest, sneered and joked: "is the fourth young master following me, afraid of me selling company secrets or afraid of me changing jobs?"


    Sheng Qian was stunned. He was nothing, but he couldn''t say the real reason. He just looked at Zhao Xiaowei''s alienated eyes at the moment. His heart was like breaking the five flavor bottle. He had everything.


    "You also know that you are from our company. Who allows you to open a room in the hotel with no three no four men!" he knew that Zhao Xiaowei was not the only woman in front of him, so he had to put on the airs of the boss.


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at him, but her eyes were even more disdainful. She went to the man and took the man''s arm: "please respect the fourth young master. He is not a no three no four man. He is my boyfriend."

 Chapter 240

    Knowing that Zhao Xiaowei was lying, Sheng Qian had no position to refute. He was silent for a while, turned and walked out: "I went to the wrong room, you continue."


    Help them close the door. Sheng Qian strode towards the elevator. In front of him was Zhao Xiaowei''s indifferent expression just now.


    Lost? Or what? He doesn''t know.


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at the door and was stunned for a while. She loosened the man and sat on the sofa with her arms tightly around her body.


    "Sister Xiaowei, is it not good for us to do this? In case he really misunderstood..." the man looked at Zhao Xiaowei and was a little worried on his face.


    "You go first, I won''t let him trouble you." Zhao Xiaowei seemed to be exhausted and curled up on the sofa.


    "I didn''t mean that..." the man knew that she had misunderstood and wanted to explain, but seeing that Zhao Xiaowei should not be in the mood to listen, he didn''t go on, closed the door and went out.


    Zhao Xiaowei was stunned for a while. When she heard the phone ring, she picked it up and saw that it was the agent. She asked lazily, "what''s the matter?"


    "The premiere of the new film this afternoon, you come right now." the agent said strongly, "several big directors and well-known film critics will attend, which will be good for you in the future, especially if you have so many negative news and are told by the reporter to play big cards, you are really finished."


    "I know." Zhao Xiaowei said faintly and hung up.


    Zhao Xiaowei sat on the sofa for a while, then slowly stood up, put on a simple makeup, tied up her hair at will, put on her prepared dress, looked at herself in the mirror, and seemed to restore the bright appearance in front of the camera.


    When Zhao Xiaowei arrived, she saw that Sheng Liang was being interviewed. Qiao Xuan sat silently in an inconspicuous corner with her eyes on Sheng Liang. She walked over, sat next to Qiao Xuan and said in a low voice, "now it''s time for me to envy you."


    Qiao Xuan always doesn''t like to explore other people''s private affairs, but she probably knows what happened by watching Zhao Xiaowei''s news these days, but she really can''t comfort people. She turns her head to Zhao Xiaowei and says, "he will understand your intentions one day."


    Zhao Xiaowei smiled bitterly: "I don''t expect it anymore. However, for so many years, the focus of my life is him. If I give up now, I don''t know how to live."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s words made Qiao Xuan feel a little distressed. She didn''t say anything, but she gently held Zhao Xiaowei''s hand and wanted to give her some strength.


    Zhao Xiaowei''s agent came over and called her away. At the same time, Sheng Liang''s interview was over. Seeing that Qiao Xuan was a little depressed, he thought she was left out in the cold. He trimmed her hair and asked, "don''t you like this occasion?"


    Qiao Xuan really didn''t like it before, but she wouldn''t feel boring if there was plenty of cool here.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head and looked at Zhao Xiaowei who was talking to others. The smile on her face was so reluctantly. She sighed: "it would be a pity if Sheng Qian missed her."


    Sheng Liangshun took a look at her eyes and said with some jealousy, "I remember you''ve never been interested in other people''s affairs. Why are you so concerned about Xiao Si''s private affairs now?"


    Qiao Xuan knew whether he was joking or angrily said, "if you are jealous, you should find a suitable object. Sheng Qian is your brother."


    The word brother is really strange. He just doesn''t hate Sheng Qian, but it''s probably impossible to make them love each other.


    After watching the premiere of Zhao Xiaowei''s new film with Sheng Liang, Qiao Xuan has to say that Zhao Xiaowei is indeed a natural actor and has perfect control over the role. No wonder he can still be in the entertainment circle without relying on gossip hype and accepting any hidden rules.


    "Has the schedule problem been solved?" Qiao Xuan whispered to Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan is a little worried, because after all, the Xilin family has so many cinema resources. If they deliberately don''t arrange the film, it''s impossible to get a good box office.


    The grudges between Xilin Fu and Sheng Liang seem irreconcilable, and no one will give in.


    "You don''t have to worry about that. Although Xilin''s industry is all over the country, it doesn''t have the ability to form a monopoly on the film. Besides their cinemas, our market is still very broad." Sheng Liang said in a shallow voice and secretly squeezed Qiao Xuan''s palm.


    Qiao Xuan naturally believes in Sheng Liang''s ability. He always has a way to turn the tide.


    After the premiere, Sheng Liang wanted to take Qiao Xuan home. As soon as he got on the bus, his mobile phone rang. He saw the name on the screen and hesitated to answer it.


    Qiao Xuan was a little strange. She turned her head and saw that it was Qi Chu. She knew it must be because of Qi Luo. Sheng Liang hesitated, probably afraid that she was unhappy.


    "Take it, what if there''s something wrong." Qiao Xuan helped him press the answer button.


    As soon as he got through, Qi Chu''s eager voice came from there: "come to the hospital, Xiao Luo has an accident!"


    Before Sheng Liang asked again, Qi Chu had hung up. Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment when he listened to the beep.


    "Go to the hospital, I''ll go with you." Qiao Xuan fastened her seat belt, looked at Sheng Liang and said.


    Although Qi Mingyu left him a mess before, Sheng Liang always felt guilty about Qi Luo. Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, he immediately started the car.


    Before long, Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan arrived at the hospital. Qi Chu saw Qiao Xuan appear together. Although he was unhappy, he also swept away. He took Sheng Liang and said, "how did you come? Go in and have a look at Xiao Luo."


    "Xiao Luo woke up?" Sheng Liang was surprised to see that Qi Chu''s finger ward was no longer ICU.


    Qi Chu took another look at Qiao Xuan and obviously had some resentment: "I woke up, but I know you''re going to marry someone else and cut your wrist. I''m giving blood."


    Hearing that ziluo woke up, Sheng Liang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He just wanted to tell Qiao Xuan to wait outside for a while because he was afraid that ziluo would say ugly words to her when he saw her, but he had been pushed into the ward by Qi Chu before he said it.


    When the door of the ward closed, Qiao Xuan stood at the door and rubbed her hands in a cramped way. Then she walked aside and sat on the bench. She looked at the door all the time. She could vaguely hear qiluo''s crazy scream and Sheng Liang''s voice comforting her. Qiao Xuan said in her heart that it was false not to be sad.


    After waiting for a long time, Sheng Liang didn''t come out. Instead, Qi Chu and the nurse came out. The nurse whispered to Qi Chu, "the patient will have to lose two bags of blood tonight, but there is no AB blood in the blood bank. The blood of close relatives can''t be used. Do you see if your friends have this blood type? Let them come and draw blood."


    "How many people do you want?" Qi Chu asked.


    "At least three, fast, because we still have to do testing and separation, which takes time," the nurse said.

 Chapter 241

    Qiao Xuan watched the nurse leave and heard Qi Chu call others. Some said they couldn''t come back in other places. Others said they had just taken drugs and only one could come. Qi Chu hung up the phone and began to swear.


    Qiao Xuan stood up, walked over and said in a low voice, "I have type AB blood. I can draw blood."


    Qi Chu looked at her and was surprised. Then he quickly took her to the nurse station: "nurse, she is type ab. draw her blood first."


    The nurse immediately took Qiao Xuan to draw blood and looked at the bright red blood flowing into the blood collection bag. Qiao Xuan was also a little relaxed. At least in this way, she no longer felt owed to ziluo.


    After drawing blood, she came out by arm. Seeing that Sheng Liang was about to call her, she quickly called him.


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what had happened. He went to hold Qiao Xuan and asked anxiously, "what''s the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"


    "No, there is no blood in the blood bank. I took some blood for ziluo." Qiao Xuan said quietly.


    Sheng Liang screwed off his eyebrows, and then took her painfully: "dizzy? Do you want to sit down and have a rest?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. She thanked Sheng Liang for not saying thank you to her. In that case, she was like an outsider to Sheng Liang.


    "How''s ziluo?" Qiao Xuan asked casually.


    "Having settled down, I''m already asleep." Sheng Liang slowly put down Qiao Xuan''s sleeve, helped her tidy up her clothes and hugged her out.


    When he got into the elevator, there were only two of them. Sheng Liang said to Qiao Xuan apologetically, "I''ll solve qiluo''s problem as soon as possible. It won''t happen again in the future."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t speak, just nodded, but she was at a loss in her heart.


    Qiluo''s feelings for Sheng Liang have long been deep into the bone marrow. It''s not that she can break. Moreover, qiluo doesn''t want to break at all. As long as she wants, she has an excuse and reason to intervene in their feelings at any time. Qiao Xuan just needs to think about it and feels a headache.


    Sheng Liang doesn''t know what Qiao Xuan thinks, but it''s useless to say now. He gently hugged her and hoped she would understand that he won''t let her go anyway.


    Sheng Liang sent Qiao Xuan back home, went back to the room with her, watched her lie down and said softly, "go to bed early today. I''ll ask my aunt to heat up some milk for you. Remember to drink some."


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "go back. I just draw some blood. I''m not sick. I can take care of myself."


    In fact, he didn''t want to see her pretend to be strong. It seemed that he was useless, but Qiao Xuan''s heart knot, he couldn''t promise her anything.


    Watching her close her eyes, Sheng Liang withdrew from her room, turned back and saw that Qiao''s parents were there. It seemed that he had something to say to him. He asked softly, "uncle and aunt, what''s up?"


    Joe''s father looked at Qiao Xuan''s and Qiao Nan''s room and made sure they couldn''t hear it. He gathered in front of Sheng Liang and whispered, "when I went out for a walk this morning, a neighbor suddenly asked me if one of them is not his own. I think someone is asking about Hua er?"


    Sheng Liang''s eyes sank. There was no doubt that it was Xilin Fu. He really suspected that he had come to Qiao Xuan, but fortunately, he had told his parents what to say before.


    "You didn''t say anything wrong?" Sheng Liang asked.


    Joe''s father hurriedly said, "no, I did what you told me. I said that my daughter drowned before. We adopted gorgeous."


    Sheng Liang nodded, "well, that''s no problem."


    Linghui has already done some tricks to Qiao''s registered residence, and Xilin has searched for the information to break through the database. The information he received is the same. No matter whether he believes it or not, at least he can''t be sure that Qiao is the little girl of that time.


    The most important thing now is to solve Zillo''s problem first, but it''s really much more difficult than dealing with Xilin.


    Just after Sheng Liang left Qiao''s house, Qi Chu called again, saying that Qi Luo woke up and clamored to find him.


    Sheng Liang is not a hesitant person. Qi Mingyu also promised that as long as he helped Qi Chu through the difficulties, they would not owe each other in the future, but now the situation is obviously a little different.


    Ziluo woke up. It was no longer about him and his family, but ziluo couldn''t let go at all.


    For a woman, especially a woman who once planned to accompany her all her life, he can''t ignore her life and death.


    When he got to the hospital, ziluo smiled on his pale face as soon as he saw him: "cool, you''re coming."


    After sleeping in the hospital bed for so long, even if he was well taken care of, ziluo''s body was still as thin as skin and bone, and his face was as white as wax.


    Qi Chu was not there. There were only two female nurses. When they saw Sheng Liang, they all went out consciously.


    Sheng Liang went to the bed and sat down. He asked casually, "where''s Qi Chu?"


    "He has something to go," ziluo said coyly, holding Sheng Liang''s hand. "Will you be here with me tonight?"


    Sheng Liang understood that this was why Qi Chu called him at this time. They knew that under such circumstances, he would not have the heart to refuse Qi Luo.


    Sheng Liang pulled his hand back without trace and said faintly, "I''m sorry, I can''t do it."


    Ziluo looked at him, looking like he was about to cry, biting his white lips and choking in his voice: "cool, do you really don''t like me? Do you think I''m too capricious, or do I do something bad to make you angry? Tell me, I apologize to you and don''t be angry with me again, okay?"


    Up to now, ziluo still didn''t realize the root cause and thought he was just angry with her, but Sheng Liang didn''t want to explain these anymore, which was meaningless.


    Sheng Liang stood up, put his hands in his pockets, looked down at her, and the determination in his eyes was more obvious: "this is the last time I declare to you that we have broken up and will no longer have any relationship in the future. I hope you have a better life. We don''t disturb each other and are safe."


    "I don''t want to disturb each other with you. I just want to be with you," ziluo pulled off the hanging needle in his hand, got up and grabbed the cool clothes. "Without you, I would really die!"


    Sheng Liang looked down at her face full of tears. Her eyebrows frowned unconsciously, but she still stretched out her hand and took her hand away a little: "in this world, no one can live without leaving. If you can''t do it, I accept that you hate me."


    No matter what strength she is supported by, Sheng Liang only hopes that she can live well.


    Watching Sheng Liangtou leave without looking back, Qi Luo lost his focus, lay down on the hospital bed and burst into tears. He repeatedly said, "Sheng Liang, I hate you, I hate you!"


    Sheng Liang didn''t stop all the way. When he came out of the hospital, he took a long breath. He just raised his eyes and saw Qi Chu.

 Chapter 242

    In fact, Sheng Liang always knew what the purpose of Qi Chu''s brothers and sisters approaching him was, but at that time, he was happy to maintain a superficial relationship with Qi Chu. He just didn''t expect that Qi Chu would kill him like that.


    "It seems that Xiao Luo really can''t keep you." Qi Chu didn''t go any further, lit a cigarette and leaned against the nearby column, "but it''s not strange. I knew it would be the result. My sister, the means are not enough."


    Sheng Liang also stood still and looked at him with deep eyes: "so, are you going to kill me again?"


    Qi Chu smiled at himself, shook his head and said, "maybe I had a chance before, but now it''s impossible."


    "What do you want to say?" he waited for him here and deliberately showed weakness to him. Sheng Liang knew that Qi Chu certainly didn''t simply want to chat with him.


    Qi Chu smiled awkwardly and said directly, "I think you were right before. Xilin Fu is our common enemy. We should cooperate."


    He had said similar things to Qi Chu before. He also wanted to use the power of the Qi family to weaken Xilin Fu, but Qi Chu didn''t agree. Especially after Qi Luo had an accident, Sheng Liang gave up this idea.


    Now Qi Chu takes the initiative to mention it. It seems that Xilin Fu''s previous great efforts have indeed hit Qi Chu''s network to a great extent.


    Sheng Liang smiled and said, "this moment is another moment. It''s too late for you to promise now."


    Qi Chu''s face changed: "what do you mean?"


    "It means that I don''t need other people''s help now." without telling him more, Sheng Liang stepped down the steps.


    "Sheng Liang -" Qi Chu shouted hurriedly, but when he saw that Sheng Liang had got into the car and drove away, his fist heart clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand burst out.


    Hearing a voice behind him, Qi Chu looked back and saw a well-dressed woman looking at him with a smile. He shouted in a low voice, "little Qi."


    The woman looked familiar. Qi Chu searched her mind and asked tentatively, "are you the host... Mai Han?"


    Mai Han smiled appropriately: "master Qi has a good memory."


    He saw too many women talking to him, so he never paid attention to them, but this woman was obviously eavesdropping on his conversation with Sheng Liang just now.


    "What are you doing here?" Qi Chu thought of the scene just now. He was so embarrassed that he was seen by the woman, so his tone was not good.


    Mai Han knows how to observe words and expressions. Naturally, she knows what Qi Chu is worried about. She whispered, "it''s inconvenient to speak here. Let''s change places."


    The zero club is Qichu''s territory. He took Mai Han into a box and let everyone out. He went over and sat on the sofa, put one arm on the back of the sofa and said, "what''s the matter with you? You can say it now."


    Mai Han sat down on the other side. She could see that Qi Chu was not very interested in what she wanted to say, or that he didn''t think she could tell him anything important.


    Mai Han took out a photo from his bag, handed it to Qi Chu and said, "look at this first."


    Qi Chu picked it up and saw that the photo was a remake of the news content of an old newspaper. It said that in a small mountain village in Sulin, a house caught fire, burned an old man and a teenager was injured and unconscious. There was also a picture of a little girl, saying that the girl was imprisoned by a burned old man.


    He looked at it and asked impatiently, "why do you let me see this?"


    The smile on Mai Han''s face narrowed a little and said faintly, "guess who the injured boy is?"


    Looking at her look, Qi Chu didn''t feel it, and slowly shook his head: "who is it?"


    "Xilin Fu." Mai Han continued when he saw Qi Chu''s surprised eyes. "I have a club in Sulin. I just want to investigate this matter."


    Qi Chu''s brain couldn''t react for a moment. He sat right on his body and leaned to maihan''s side: "speak more clearly."


    "In short, the old man who adopted Xilin Fu imprisoned the little girl with him. Later, the little girl was rescued, and Xilin Fu returned to Xilin''s house. After many years, he has been living abroad, and after he came back, he has been secretly looking for the little girl." Mahan paused for a moment, afraid that Qi Chu still didn''t understand, and added, "In fact, Xilin Fu helped the little girl escape. During his imprisonment, he fell in love with the little girl."


    Qi Chu swallowed it unconsciously. According to the newspaper, the girl was only six years old at that time. Xilin Fu was a paedophile.


    "But what does this have to do with me?" Qi Chu returned the picture to Mai Han. "I don''t know where the little girl is now." otherwise, maybe he can use a beauty book.


    "I know." Mai Han looked at Qi Chu calmly. "And you know this man, too."


    Qi Chu was surprised again: "who?"


    "Your sister."


    "Nonsense!" Qi chumin stood up, "my sister has been with us since childhood!"


    Maihan said without delay, "if you don''t say, who knows, your father''s ancestral home doesn''t seem to be in Sang city."


    "What do you want to do?" Qi Chu looked at Mai Han with wide eyes. If the woman didn''t give him a reasonable explanation, he would never let her go!


    Seeing Qi Chu''s anger, Mai Han still said without changing his face: "the Xilin family has a huge influence and even has a military background. Instead of cooperating with Sheng Liang to beat stones with eggs, Xiao Qi might as well marry the Xilin family. At that time, your Qi family will be in sangcheng and support the political and business circles. You still need to see whose face?"


    Xilin family


    Compared with the prosperous times with infinite scenery before, the Xilin family is naturally better, but the Xilin family has always been mysterious and low-key, and Xilin Fu has a strange personality, so it has never been heard that any famous lady wants to marry him.


    Qi Chu Qu pointed to his lips. Although Mai Han said it was really tempting, he still had concerns: "my sister won''t want to."


    In ziluo''s heart, there was only Sheng Liang.


    "That''s not necessarily. She should hate Sheng Liang now. She wants revenge and can only rely on Xilin Fu." seeing Qi Chu shaking, maihan smiled to herself.


    Although Qi Chu agreed with her, he still looked at her vigilantly and asked, "how much do you know and what''s your purpose?"


    He doesn''t believe that this woman really wants to help him.


    "My purpose, of course, is the same as yours." she vowed to let Sheng Liang live rather than die!


    "I''ll think about it." Qi Chu still didn''t agree immediately. He always felt that Mai Han''s purpose was not so simple.


    Mai Han stood up and put a business card on the table: "I''m waiting for your reply, and I can help you disclose the information to Xilin at any time."

 Chapter 243

    Qi Chu watched her open the door and go out. His mind was still in a mess. The amount of information Mai Han gave him was too large for him to digest for a moment.


    He made a phone call. Soon someone came in and asked, "what''s up, Mr. Qi?"


    "Let me check the details of Mai Han, her relationship with the Xilin family, and her relationship with Sheng Liang." it''s no small matter. He can''t be careless.


    "Yes, I''ll go now."


    Qi Chu thought for a moment, stood up and walked out. He quickly returned to the hospital and went to the security room to see the monitoring. He found that Mai Han came with Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan. That is to say, she didn''t lie on this point. She just wanted to deal with Sheng Liang.


    However, he has always disliked women who are too clever, especially those who still want to use him as a gun. After this thing is over, this woman can''t stay.


    After Sheng Liang came home, he read the latest magazine and found out that Qi Mingyu had been reported and was likely to get off the horse. No wonder Qi Chu wanted to cooperate with him.


    He threw the magazine on the table and was ready to take a bath. When he heard the mobile phone ring, he took out his mobile phone while going upstairs. When he saw that it was Qiao Xuan, he immediately answered it. In his voice, he was spoiled: "haven''t you slept yet?"


    Qiao Xuan gave a sound, turned over and whispered, "there''s something I want to tell you. When I went to draw blood today, I saw Mai Han, the host of the TV station. I was taken to the club by human traffickers in Sulin. She saw me and said a lot of vicious words. She said she hated me, and she called Xilin to return."


    "Why didn''t you say it earlier." Sheng Liang twisted his eyebrows. If he knew, he couldn''t let Mai Han go.


    Qiao Xuan said awkwardly, "because Mai Han said, you know all these things, but you didn''t tell me, I thought..."


    She thought he would take the initiative to mention it to her when he saw Mai Han, but at that time, he only took care of her and didn''t think about anything else at all. Moreover, he didn''t think about what storms a TV host could set off.


    Now it seems that he may be wrong.


    Sheng Liang sighed slightly and said slowly, "I have nothing to do with Mai Han. I know her because she used to be Sheng Hua''s girlfriend."


    Sheng Hua''s girlfriend?


    Qiao Xuan now understands that Mai Han said she hated her because Sheng Hua became like this because of her relationship.


    While Qiao Xuan was relieved, she also whispered to Sheng Liang, "I''m sorry to tell you now."


    Fortunately, she said, otherwise she would have been misunderstood all the time.


    "Don''t think too much. Go to bed early and I''ll see you after work tomorrow." Sheng Liang''s voice was very gentle, but his face immediately became dark after hanging up the phone.


    Mai Han, she is also in the hospital today. No wonder he always feels as if there are two eyes looking at him. He was just anxious to leave at that time, so he didn''t go deep into it.


    Sheng Liang called Roger and asked him to investigate Mai Han''s whereabouts. What he was most worried about was what Mai Han would do to hurt Qiao Xuan.


    Mai Han''s car drove into the courtyard of a villa. She got out of the car and went to the door. Someone came to open the door for her. She went in and saw Sheng Hua rolling on the carpet, spilling milk all over him, and the servant was cleaning him.


    "What''s going on? How do you do things!" Mai hanleng drank and immediately went over. He half knelt on the ground, helped Sheng Hua up, took the paper towel in the hand of the servant next to him, and carefully wiped the milk stains on his face. "Good boy, don''t move. I''ll wipe it for you."


    Sheng Hua saw her, like a child, wrongfully drilled into her arms: "they all bully me, I don''t like them..."


    Mai Han looked at him and felt extremely distressed. He hugged him and said to the servants, "get out of here immediately!"


    Several people looked at each other and hurriedly packed up and left.


    Mai Han helped Sheng Hua change his clothes, pulled him to the sofa, sat down, leaned against his chest and said, "I can avenge you soon. When Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan pay their due price, we will leave mulberry city and live abroad. I have to give you children and have a lot of children. We will always accompany you."


    Sheng Hua obviously didn''t understand what she was talking about, so he just poked her hair with his fingers.


    But even so, Mai Han still feels very satisfied. Sometimes, she probably wants to thank Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan. If Sheng Hua doesn''t become like this, she may not get this man all her life.


    The glass door was forcibly opened. Mai Han sat up and looked at the person coming in warily: "who!"


    The visitor walked slowly under the light and sneered, "haven''t we just met this afternoon?"


    Mai Han looked at the man in front of him. It was Qi Chu. He actually found here.


    Subconsciously, Sheng Hua was behind him. Mai Han remained calm: "didn''t I give you a business card? Just call if you have something."


    Qi Chu was not polite either. He came and sat on the sofa opposite Mai Han, looked at Sheng Hua and said in a low voice, "how can you say such an important thing clearly on the phone."


    Noticing Qi Chu''s eyes, Mai Han turned sideways, touched Sheng Hua''s hair, and said softly to him, "go to bed first. I''ll come soon."


    Sheng Hua looked very unhappy, but he probably didn''t want to make Mai Han angry, so he went upstairs.


    Looking at Sheng Hua''s back disappearing at the entrance of the stairs, Mai Han turned and said, "it seems that master Qi has investigated me clearly, so he decided to believe me."


    The woman was really smart. Qi Chu smiled: "Miss Mai was joking. I believed you very much. It''s just that I have to ask my sister''s opinion on such a big matter."


    "Did your sister agree?" although there were some accidents, maihan was still light on the surface. She thought it would take some time. Unexpectedly, Qi Chu did it so soon.


    "My sister is lovelorn. You know, lovelorn women make extreme decisions." although this decision may have wronged qiluo, qiluo should make some sacrifices for their family.


    Mai Han seemed to see through his idea, sneered and said, "your sister won''t lose in marrying Xilin Fu. Although that man has a strange temper, considering the background and power of Xilin family, many people can''t envy him."


    "How do you plan to make Xilin Fu accept my sister? If you are too deliberate, you will be suspected. It is said that Xilin Fu is very suspicious." otherwise, he can not pass maihan.


    Mai Han put his hands around his chest and smiled coldly: "I naturally have my way. This is also my only chip. If I say it, what if master Qi kills me."

 Chapter 244

    This woman is really hard to deal with.


    However, seeing Sheng Hua''s idiot appearance just now, Qi Chu didn''t worry that it was Mai Han''s trap. Compared with that, she should hate Sheng Liang even more.


    What made him gnash his teeth was that the woman could get the result she wanted with her so-called chips. It was like setting a white wolf with empty hands.


    Watching Qi Chu leave, Roger in the dark drove back to Sheng Liang''s villa, went upstairs and knocked on the door of Sheng Liang''s study.


    Seeing the eager look on Roger''s face, Sheng Liang asked, "what did you find?"


    Roger said excitedly, "guess who I saw go to mchan?"


    Sheng Liang frowned: "don''t sell off, say it quickly."


    "I''m surprised to see Mr. Qi." the two couldn''t hit each other. Why did they get together?


    Sheng Liang didn''t expect it. However, when Roger said this, he remembered that when he was at the door of the hospital in the afternoon, he seemed to notice that someone was eavesdropping next to him. He thought it was him. Now it seems that the person should be Mai Han.


    "Do you know what maihan is doing in the hospital?" Sheng liang thought of the worst possible.


    "I went to see the surveillance in the hospital corridor and saw her enter the laboratory," Roger thought and added. "After Miss Qiao went to take blood, the nurse in the laboratory said that a test sheet was missing."


    "Whose?"


    "It was originally Miss Qiao''s, but because it was to give Miss Qi blood transfusion, the nurse who sent it to the laboratory forgot for a moment and directly said Miss Qi''s bed number, so the name on the list should be Miss Qi''s name." seeing Sheng Liang''s thoughtful look, Roger asked carefully, "what''s Mai Han doing with that?"


    Sheng Liang can''t think of what Mai Han is going to do now, but it''s certainly not a good thing for her to get together with Qi Chu.


    The only possibility he can think of is that it has something to do with Xilin Fu. After all, Sheng Hua is Xilin''s nephew.


    It''s just that this matter is also very strange. At that time, he hurt Sheng Hua in order to save Qiao Xuan, so that Sheng Hua became a fool when he woke up, but the Xilin family didn''t say anything and didn''t even take Sheng Hua to live.


    You know, the Sheng family was so afraid of Sheng Hua at the beginning, but it was all because of the relationship of the Xilin family, including Sheng Tianhao.


    But Xilin Fu doesn''t seem to like seeing this cousin, so does Mai Han want to use Qi Chu?


    Sheng Liang''s body leaned against the back of the sofa and said in a low voice, "it''s no use for us to guess here. Let them toss around. We just have to deal with all changes with the same."


    However, he still can''t take it lightly. It can be seen from what Qiao Xuan just told him that Mai Han has a grudge against them because of Sheng Hua.


    It is gratifying that the box office of their large-scale films has exceeded 4 billion in just two days. While Zhao Xiaowei''s worth has doubled, feilengcui has become the biggest winner.


    Qiao Xuan hasn''t seen Sheng Liang for several days. She knows he''s busy and she doesn''t want to disturb him. Fortunately, he will call her as soon as he''s free. It seems that he will report her whereabouts at any time.


    Sheng Liang didn''t mention the wedding again, and Qiao Xuan didn''t ask again. Just in this way, she had nothing to do.


    Qiao Nan went to work in Shengliang''s company again, which made Qiao gorgeous envy. In fact, she also missed the days when she went to and from work with Shengliang. As long as she looked up every day, she could see him.


    "We have a celebration party tonight. You come to be my girlfriend and I''ll pick you up after I''m busy." Sheng Liang specially called Qiao Xuan in advance.


    Although it was expected that the film would be popular, it would be so popular that it would surprise them. Of course, we should celebrate it.


    "OK." Qiao Xuan looked at the time and began to prepare. There was more than enough time.


    "I''ve prepared the dress for you. I''ll have someone send it to you later. I also made an appointment with a makeup artist for you. She should arrive at 4 o''clock and you just have to wait at home." Sheng Liang looked at the beautifully packaged dress at hand, which was Qiao Xuan''s favorite moon white.


    Sheng Liang even arranged these things for her. Qiao Xuan''s sweet happiness is self-evident: "well, I know."


    In fact, she knows that this kind of internal cocktail party can be served cool without a female partner. He just doesn''t want her to be bored alone. At the same time, he also shows their relationship to others in this way.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xuan''s smile on her lips didn''t go away for a long time.


    She opened the door and went out and said to Joe''s mother, "Mom, I''m going out at night. I don''t have to cook my meal."


    "You go out at night. That''s just right. Xiao Nan can''t say he''ll come back. Then I won''t cook dinner. Sheng Liang sent movie tickets. Your father and I are going to see their movies." Qiao''s mother said, taking out her mobile phone to call Qiao''s father. "Your father just went downstairs to buy vegetables. I told him not to buy them."


    When did Sheng Liang give them movie tickets? That is to say, even if she just refused to go to the reception, Sheng Liang could let her go under the banner of not trusting that she was at home alone?


    Unscrupulous profiteer, Qiao Xuan sighed.


    Just, Joe''s father''s cell phone didn''t seem to be answered. When he saw that Joe''s mother had to continue to call, Qiao Xuan said, "let me go down and have a look. My father shouldn''t have gone far."


    It''s not about buying vegetables. Qiao Xuan is worried about what accident his father has.


    Take the elevator down and go out of the stairs. Qiao Xuan sees his father chatting with others near the rockery in the community from a distance. Qiao Xuan shakes her head. It turned out that she was just chatting and didn''t hear the phone ring at all.


    Qiao Xuan walked slowly past them. When she came to them, she heard the neighbor say, "I didn''t expect that your daughter was so filial. She was adopted."


    Joe''s father looked a little evasive, but he still said, "yes, yes, but don''t tell others about it. It''s not good to spread it to my daughter."


    "I know, I know." the neighbor looked clear.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned. When she saw them turn around, she hurriedly hid aside.


    It turned out that she was really not her parents'' biological daughter. No wonder Joe''s mother looked so flustered when she asked about the album.


    Although she had made up her mind for a long time, even if they had no blood relationship with her, after all, for so many years, they really tried their best to raise her, so she would still treat them as her biological parents.


    But in her heart, she couldn''t help feeling a little lost. She didn''t even know how she went back.


    "Have you found your father?" Joe''s mother asked when she saw Qiao Xuan coming back.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "he should be back in a minute. Just buy it and put it in the fridge."


    Joe''s mother said well and didn''t say anything.


    "Mom," Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao''s mother comparing a dress in front of the mirror. She went over and hugged Qiao''s mother''s neck from behind, "I will love you forever."

 Chapter 245

    Qiao''s mother''s body suddenly froze. She didn''t know why Qiao Xuan suddenly said this. Qiao Xuan would never say such disgusting words before. However, it may be that she thought more. Qiao Xuan seemed to have changed a lot since she was with Sheng Liang. She turned to smile, grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand and said, "never forever. As long as you have a good destination, your father and I will rest assured."


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan still didn''t let go. After so many years of upbringing, she didn''t know how to express it. Only these four words can be said.


    Before long, Sheng Liang sent her evening dress. The front is a semi bra design, the left shoulder is like a lily, and the back is a deep V shape, but it won''t expose too much. The overall design is simple and noble.


    The makeup artist also arrived on time and helped Qiao Xuan do her hair.


    When Sheng Liang came to pick up Qiao Xuan, Qiao''s parents had gone to the movies. Qiao Xuan was the only one in the family. Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan who came to open the door. Even if she was so familiar, she was surprised by her: "it''s so beautiful."


    Qiao Xuan''s face flushed slightly and said angrily, "I haven''t just met you. How can I still say such words."


    "You are fresh to me every day." Sheng Liang pinched her chin and kissed her lips.


    She said as if she were a vegetable and fruit. Qiao Xuan''s face reddened. She looked up at him and said, "I''m not a little girl. You don''t have to tell me these sweet words."


    "I''m serious." Sheng Liang took the opportunity to kiss her again, "let''s go."


    When they arrived, the reception had just begun. It was hosted by Zhao Xiaowei''s agent. They were all artists of their own company. Everyone was open, so the atmosphere was very warm.


    Seeing them, everyone automatically dodged a way and greeted Sheng Liang respectfully.


    Although Qiao Xuan has also been in the company before, these artists do not belong to the company''s employees, so many people do not know Qiao Xuan. Seeing her appear with Sheng Liang, some female artists have obviously hostile eyes, probably taking her as a competitor.


    In particular, some of the third tier little stars don''t have a chance to see Sheng Liang himself at ordinary times. They used to work hard and prepare to perform well tonight. Seeing how exposed they are, we know how hard they fight.


    However, Qiao Xuan was not in the mood to pay attention to these. Her mood was also affected by what she heard in the afternoon. She couldn''t cheer up. If she hadn''t promised Sheng Liang first and feared that her parents would be suspicious, she might not have come.


    "What''s the matter?" Sheng Liang looked down at her, as if she had been absent-minded since she came over.


    "It''s all right." in fact, Qiao Xuan has been covering up, but she''s not good at it.


    As soon as Sheng Liang wanted to say something, he heard the host say to ask him to pour champagne and cut cake. There was a burst of applause around him. Everyone''s eyes focused on him. He had to loosen Qiao Xuan and stepped onto the stage.


    The lights all hit Sheng Liang on the stage. His elegance and composure made him look so perfect. Qiao Xuan naturally heard the whispered praise of those female stars in the crowd, and could see the desire in their eyes.


    "Are you the newly signed artist of feilengcui?" a actress next to her pulled Qiao Xuan''s arm, and her actions and voice were high spirited.


    "No." Qiao Xuan frowned and blocked her hand.


    "Can''t you see? I just want to be red, so I try my best to climb into the cooler bed." another actress in red dress interrupted and snorted with disdain.


    "Be careful, elder sisters. Your tongue is so long. Be careful to be cut off by the chairman." Qiao Nan didn''t know where he came out and smiled innocuously, but his eyes were cold when he said the last sentence.


    The two actresses stopped talking at once. No matter what Qiao Xuan relied on to get Sheng Liang''s favor, they naturally have some skills. They''d better not provoke.


    "Why are you here?" although his parents said he didn''t go home for dinner at night, it seemed that the celebration had nothing to do with him.


    Qiao Nan pulled Qiao Xuan away from those women, went to the front of the long platform and handed her a glass of fruit juice. She took a glass of red wine, put it on her nose, closed her eyes and took a deep sniff: "Bordeaux in 83, many people say that the red wine in 82 is the best, but in fact, the wine in 83 is more delicious."


    Seeing that he was still pretending to be serious, Qiao Xuan glanced at him and repeatedly asked, "I mean, why are you here?"


    Qiao Nan opened her hand and let Qiao Xuan see her blue casual suit: "isn''t it obvious that I''m becoming a rich and handsome man in the upper class society."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s speechless face, Qiao Nan smiled awkwardly: "I''m no longer in the company headquarters. Now I''m working as a star''s agent. Here, that''s Lin Zheng."


    Qiao Xuan looked along his line of sight and saw a female artist wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsam standing in the crowd, with slender figure and black hair shawl, which had a feeling of classical beauty.


    And just look at her face, clean and simple, without the worldly customs of other actresses.


    "Not bad, it should be popular." as long as Qiao Nan doesn''t hold back.


    "It''s not supposed to be, it''s sure." Qiao Nan saw Lin Zheng looking around, as if he was looking for him. He quickly put down his glass and said to Qiao Xuan, "sister, play by yourself. I''ll go over."


    Qiao Xuan looks at Qiao Nan and quickly walks to Lin Zheng. They whisper. She smiles. Qiao Nan must like Lin Zheng, so she asks Sheng Liang to be Lin Zheng''s agent.


    But he probably didn''t know that the relationship between artists and agents has always been a taboo in this industry. Even if they can stick to it, they probably can''t be exposed to the sun.


    Qiao Xuan was going to find a quiet place to stay for a while. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Sheng Qian leaning against a column and staring at Zhao Xiaowei on the stage.


    Qiao Xuan walked over, stood next to him and looked at the stage, but her sight was on Sheng Liang.


    "Since I like her, why should I deliberately refuse her thousands of miles?" Zhao Xiaowei was so sad that she had seen it with her own eyes.


    Sheng Qian''s eyes converged, turned his head, and immediately changed into a cynical look: "have you found a new way to refuse me?"


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "do you dare to chase me because you know I won''t like you?"


    He had spared no effort before. Qiao Xuan was almost moved for some time.


    "Fool, of course, I will chase you if I really like you." Sheng Qian stretched out his hand and stroked her hair.

 Chapter 246

    Qiao Xuan''s body seemed to be fixed. She opened her eyes to Sheng Qian and even forgot to take away his hand.


    But the next second, her body was pulled apart, and Sheng Liang''s tall figure blocked her behind.


    "If you want to find a shield, go find someone else and stay away from Qiao Xuan!" Sheng Liang said coldly.


    Sheng Qian smiled. His slender eyebrows and eyes were full of cunning: "you are so nervous because you know I am serious. I didn''t use her as a shield. I was chasing her very hard. It''s not certain who will lose, both of us."


    Sheng Liang''s face condensed more and more. Qiao Xuan could feel the coolness behind him.


    Moreover, when Qiao Xuan turned her head, she saw Zhao Xiaowei looking at this side, with a lonely face.


    Qiao Xuan realized that she seemed to have poked a hornet''s nest.


    The reception continued, but Sheng Liang took Qiao Xuan away. He wanted to announce their relationship in front of everyone, but now he regretted bringing her.


    When she got to the underground parking lot, Qiao Xuan saw that Sheng Liang didn''t speak. Knowing that he was angry, she carefully said, "I didn''t know Sheng Qian would say that. I just wanted to persuade him to be with Zhao Xiaowei." who knows it backfired.


    "I said, don''t meddle in their affairs." Sheng Liang''s tone was not very strict, but sighed in a shallow voice, "we don''t know a lot of things."


    Hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan tentatively took his arm: "aren''t you angry with me?"


    Qiao Xuan is not a coquettish woman. Sheng Liang saw her movements so awkward and her face turned red. He leaned close to her face and said, "should you compensate me?"


    Qiao Xuan blinked a few times before she understood what he meant. She stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.


    Just how can the kiss of dragonfly touch the water satisfy Sheng liang? He took her waist in one hand and held the back of her brain in the other hand, deepening the kiss again and again.


    His tongue tip still has Tang peirinon''s mellow fragrance, constantly winding and sucking between her lips and teeth. Qiao Xuan feels that she is also a little drunk, so she can only let him plunder in her mouth wantonly.


    The long kiss finally ended, Qiao Xuan''s body melted in Sheng Liang''s arms, and her hands were around his waist: "I don''t want to go home today. Let''s go to see the sunrise."


    She seems to be in a wrong state today. Sheng Liang kissed her forehead and asked, "what''s the matter? Did you quarrel with your parents?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. It''s just as simple as quarreling. Apologizing to each other can be regarded as nothing happened. However, she is not their own daughter. This is a fact that can''t be changed no matter how much effort she makes.


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t want to tell Sheng Liang, at least not now. She needs time to think calmly.


    Sheng Liang didn''t force her either. He opened the door for her to go up and drove out of the parking lot.


    The last time they saw the sunrise was in Maoshan. At that time, they had not determined their feelings. Think about it, it was like yesterday.


    But this time, Sheng Liang didn''t take her up the mountain again. Qiao Xuan was still wearing an evening dress, so it was very inconvenient to move.


    Qiao Xuan kept looking outside, and then felt more and more familiar with this road. This should be the route to shengzhai.


    She turned to look at Sheng Liang, and then suddenly thought that a complete sunrise could also be seen on the hill full of maple trees behind the Sheng house. When she lived there before, she had seen couples watching the sunrise there.


    Sheng Liang grew up there. He must have been there.


    However, Qiao Xuan doesn''t know if this is his excuse to see Sheng Tianhao.


    Their father and son were like fire and water in everyone''s eyes, but Qiao Xuan always felt that they didn''t think so.


    "What''s that?" Qiao Xuan felt the speed slow down. She looked down Sheng Liang''s eyes and saw a fire in front of her. "Is it on fire?"


    Isn''t that the location of the mansion?


    Qiao Xuan was surprised. Looking at Sheng Liang again, he accelerated his speed and galloped in that direction.


    Sheng Liang''s car stopped outside the house and saw that Qiao Xuan was also going to get off. He took off his coat and handed it to her and said, "don''t come down and call the police."


    "Sheng Liang!" cried Qiao Xuan. She immediately wanted to push the door down, but found that Sheng Liang had locked the door, and he had quickly run in.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the house as if it was completely burned, and there was thick smoke everywhere. After Sheng Liang went into the yard, she couldn''t see his figure, and she was in a panic.


    But she tried to calm herself down. She quickly took out her mobile phone, called the fire alarm, thought about it, and dialed Sheng Qian''s number. Before he could speak, she had eagerly said, "Sheng Qian, come quickly, Sheng house is on fire!"


    "What are you talking about!" Sheng Qian, who was still drinking with those actresses, immediately stood up when he heard Qiao Xuan''s words, and the wine woke up more than half, "my father... Is it still in there?"


    "I don''t know. Sheng Liang has just entered, and the situation inside is not clear." Qiao Xuan''s eyes are still staring at the outside. Even if she is so far away, she seems to feel the burning of the fire. She is very afraid, so her voice trembles when she speaks.


    Sheng Qian pushed away the women and strode out. When the car went out, it was like crazy.


    He kept thinking in his heart that he would be fine. He would be fine. His father, but the legend of Sang City, was just a fire. He would not do anything to him!


    Sheng Tianhao, who was in the fire, slowly gave up his struggle after seeing the old housekeeper successfully escape. He sat on the ground with his back against the wall, holding a pocket watch in his hand. The cover of the watch was opened. There was an old picture of a woman in it. He murmured, "Maple, I''m coming to you. I can''t help Xiao Liang. Cough."


    The fire around him was so heavy that Sheng Tianhao couldn''t breathe. Especially one of his legs was hit just now and couldn''t move at all.


    Fortunately, he had expected such a day, so he drove the rest of the family away. Even the old housekeeper who had been unwilling to leave was cheated out by him just now. It''s enough for him to disappear here alone.


    After running out, the old housekeeper turned around and found that Sheng Tianhao didn''t come out at all. He immediately knew what was going on. He raised his feet and rushed in again, but he was held by the people behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Sheng Liang. He immediately shouted anxiously, "third young master, come on, the master is still inside. Go and save him!"


    "I know, I''ll save him. You go out first." when Sheng Liang said, he had jumped into the swimming pool in the yard, wet his clothes first, and pulled a big towel from the cool chair next to him.


    The old housekeeper was stunned for a while, but the fire was so big that he could feel it standing in the yard. His skin was about to be roasted, so he had to step back.

 Chapter 247

    Sheng Liang rushed in with a wet towel and scanned the living room quickly, but all he could see were burning flames and chaos all over the ground.


    "Dad! Where are you?" Sheng Liang shouted, his throat burning as if he had been burned.


    But he didn''t hear a response.


    Sheng Liang hurried upstairs again. The cashmere carpet on the stairs had been charred and emitting thick smoke. He couldn''t open his eyes at all. He couldn''t even see the road in front of him. He just walked with intuition.


    Sheng Liang first went to the study and kicked the door open. He saw that it was full of fire and smoke. He couldn''t see anything clearly, but he seemed to hear the ticking sound, so he quickly ran past it, and then saw Sheng Tianhao who had fainted to the ground.


    He quickly squatted down, covered Sheng Tianhao''s mouth and nose with a wet towel, grabbed one of his hands and wanted to carry him on his shoulder. When he heard Sheng Tianhao''s painful hum, he also found the injury on Sheng Tianhao''s leg.


    "Why are you here? Get out!" Sheng Tianhao''s vision was a little blurred, but he still knew that the person who was going to carry him was Sheng Liang, and immediately shouted.


    Sheng Liang ignored his cry and still struggled to carry him on his back: "if you want to scold me, go out and scold again. Now you''d better talk less."


    "I can''t use you to save me, you waste!" Sheng Tianhao tried to see Sheng Liang''s expression, but his eyes were still blurred.


    "I know." Sheng Liang smiled bitterly in his heart, but still said, "but I still have a lot of things to ask you, so even if you don''t want to, I''ll take you out safely."


    Sheng Tianhao''s hand trembled, and then his whole body began to tremble. He expected everything, but he didn''t expect that Sheng Liang would come to save him at this critical moment of life and death.


    Even after a lifetime of calculation and forbearance, at this time, he can''t control his emotions: "Xiaoliang..."


    There was a constant sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the fire sounded like the wind, so Sheng Tianhao''s low voice was completely submerged, and Sheng Liang didn''t hear it.


    Hearing Sheng Tianhao coughing heavily again, Sheng Liang hurriedly said, "your hands should move. Cover your mouth with a wet towel."


    Sheng Tianhao had decided to give up, but Sheng Liang''s appearance made him have the idea of living again. Now everything is clear. If they work together, the Xilin family is not afraid at all.


    "Xiao Liang, actually your mother..." Sheng Tianhao listened to Sheng Liang''s words, pulled up a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, said slowly, but then he coughed again.


    "Don''t talk first. After you go out, tell me one by one." Sheng Liang''s breathing is gradually difficult, and there is more smoke outside. The whole staircase seems to be wrapped in smoke and can''t see anything. He can only hold his breath and explore slowly.


    Sheng Liang hates Sheng Tianhao, but in the face of life and death, resentment is so insignificant. In particular, only Sheng Tianhao knows about his mother. He can''t let him die!


    Sheng Liang walked very carefully, but when he got down to the middle, he stepped empty step by step. The two people rolled down the stairs. Sheng Liang was almost instinctive. He used his body as a cushion, and his arms closely protected Sheng Tianhao.


    When he fell, Sheng Liang''s head hit the floor and his mind was confused. When he recovered, he saw that Sheng Tianhao nearby seemed to have lost consciousness and his clothes were burned. He immediately rushed over and patted the fire with the wet towel.


    When he put out the fire on Sheng Tianhao''s clothes and wanted to carry Sheng Tianhao on his back, he found that his right hand couldn''t work at all. He might have been injured when he fell down just now.


    "What are you doing, dawdling!" watching Sheng Liang help Sheng Tianhao up, it was very difficult. Sheng Qian, who had just rushed in, wrinkled his eyebrows. He was moved in his heart, but he still hated it. Then he quickly carried Sheng Tianhao up from Sheng Liang''s hand and asked Sheng Liang, "you can do it yourself, but don''t drag me back."


    Sheng Liang directly ignored Sheng Qian''s attitude. He just followed him and always paid attention to the surrounding environment, so as not to drop anything at any time.


    When Sheng Qian came over, he probably cleaned up. The way out was fairly smooth. They soon ran out and stopped at a safe place before they put Sheng Tianhao on the ground.


    Sheng Liang reached out and touched Sheng Tianhao''s carotid artery. Fortunately, although it was weak, at least it was not life-threatening, but he untied Sheng Tianhao''s collar so that he could breathe fresh air.


    "Master!" the old housekeeper ran over, squatted down and looked worried.


    "Don''t worry, he''s fine." Sheng Liang said in a shallow voice, and then slowly stood up.


    Seeing his body shaking a few times, Sheng Qian said, "don''t worry, the ambulance should come soon."


    Sheng Liang went straight outside as if he hadn''t heard. Qiao Xuan was still locked in the car by him. She should be worried about it.


    Qiao Xuan was still smashing the window glass, but it was of no use. When she was anxious, she looked up and saw Sheng Liang coming this way. His clothes were wet and full of stains. When she walked, her steps were a little vain. Qiao Xuan looked at him and tears suddenly came down.


    "I''m back -" Sheng Liang opened the door. Just after saying this, Qiao Xuan came out of the inside and put his hand around his neck. He paused and comforted in a low voice, "I''m fine. Don''t worry."


    Hearing what he said so easily, Qiao Xuan loosened him, wiped his tears, looked at him with some anger on her face: "why do you have to do this every time, make your own decisions and bear everything yourself, can''t you consider my feelings and ask my opinions!"


    She was locked in the car by him. She knew he was going through danger, but she couldn''t help him. It was like being abandoned by him.


    Sheng Liang was stunned. He had never seen Qiao Xuan so angry, but he knew it was because she was too worried about him just now.


    Sheng Liang gently hugged her with one hand and whispered, "I''m sorry, not next time."


    "What next time!" who would hope for the next time? Qiao Xuan tried hard to push him away, but then she saw him holding his other arm. Her face turned white and hurt very much. She was startled and hurriedly held him and asked, "what''s the matter with your hand? Show me!"


    Sheng Lianggang wanted to say nothing. Thinking of what she had just said, he loosened his hand and let Qiao Xuan carefully pull up his sleeve.


    His whole arm was bruised and bruised, and some places were still bleeding. Qiao Xuan felt distressed, but she knew Sheng Liang was afraid of her worry, so she didn''t tell her anything. She endured her emotions and whispered, "there should be no fracture, but let the doctor deal with it, or it will be inflamed."

 Chapter 248

    "HMM." Sheng Liang looked down at her pretending to be indifferent. He still couldn''t bear to stretch out his hand and took her in his arms, "it''s okay. This injury is nothing."


    Compared with the thrilling life and death test just experienced, this injury is really nothing. Qiao Xuan is also glad that he came out safely. Just now her heart hanging all the time can finally fall back to its original place.


    The fire engine and ambulance arrived soon. Sheng Tianhao was carried to the car, and Sheng Qian followed him all the time.


    Qiao Xuan helped Sheng Liang into another ambulance. Although he looked fine, when he rushed into the fire just now, he inhaled so much smoke. The nurse still put on an oxygen mask for him. He was probably too tired. He soon fell asleep.


    When Sheng Liang woke up, it was the next morning. Qiao Xuan grabbed his uninjured hand and looked at him for a moment. Sheng Liang saw her fatigue and asked softly, "did you stay up all night?"


    Because of being smoked by the fire, Sheng Liang''s voice was a little hoarse. Qiao Xuan was distressed for a while, but smiled and shook her head: "I''m not sleepy."


    Knowing that she was lying, Sheng Liang didn''t expose it. He just held her hand and clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand: "how''s he?"


    Even if it was so vague, Qiao Xuan knew that he was referring to Sheng Tianhao: "the chairman''s right leg was broken. He finished the operation at one o''clock in the morning. It''s no big deal. I saw him just now. He slept very well. Sheng Qian and Mrs. Xun take care of him."


    "That''s good." Sheng Liang imagined the picture of a family of three, love between husband and wife, kindness and filial piety between father and son, but his heart was inexplicably sour.


    Although he always didn''t want to admit it, sometimes he really admired Sheng Qian. At Sheng''s house, Sheng Tianhao has absolute dignity. Even Sheng Hua is always respectful. Only Sheng Qian dares to touch Sheng Tianhao''s scales, but it can make Sheng Tianhao smile.


    In contrast, when they are together, they are more like the living state of an ordinary family.


    Qiao Xuan saw the loss hidden in his eyes and said in a low voice, "can you get up now? I''ll accompany you to see the chairman."


    Is his mind so obvious? Qiao Xuan saw through it. Sheng Liang smiled: "no, just the fourth child."


    It''s superfluous for him to go.


    Do not want him to have been immersed in this mood, Qiao Xuan turned and asked, "are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"


    Sheng liang thought about it, but he couldn''t think of anything: "I don''t know."


    Qiao Xuan suddenly thought of something, helped him cover the quilt and said, "I''ll go out and sleep for a while."


    "I''m not hungry yet. Don''t go out." Sheng Liang saw her put on her coat and take her bag to go out, grabbed her and said.


    Qiao Xuan put his hand back into the quilt and smiled: "I''m nearby. I''ll be back soon."


    Sheng Liang didn''t stop. He watched her close the door and go out. He lay quietly for a while, then slowly sat up from the hospital bed and got out of bed with some difficulty.


    Asked the nurse about Sheng Tianhao''s ward. He was on the same floor as him. He walked slowly and stood at the door of the ward.


    The door was open. He gently pushed it open. He saw Sheng Tianhao waking up. He was sitting at the head of the bed. Sheng Qian was feeding him. Xun Hui was cutting apples while all three were smiling.


    Sheng Liang''s fingers stiffened, then slowly closed the door again, turned around and prepared to go back.


    He originally wanted to see Sheng Tianhao''s situation. He was relieved to see that he was all right.


    "Third brother," the door of the ward was opened again. Sheng Qian stood at the door and said, "Dad said to let you in."


    "No, I just came to have a look. He''s fine." Sheng Liang didn''t look back and went straight on.


    Xun Hui also came out and took two steps to hold Sheng Liang''s arm: "Sheng Liang, your father has something to tell you, just go in."


    Sheng Liang''s steps had to stop, but he still didn''t look back until he heard Xun Hui say he was going to have breakfast and pulled Sheng Qian away. His body turned stiffly and saw that Xun Hui and Sheng Qian had entered the elevator.


    He looked at the door of the ward and was silent for a long time. Finally, he pushed the door open.


    "Finally came to see me. I thought I wanted to ask you in person." although Sheng Tianhao''s leg was hurt, he still sat upright.


    Seeing that he is not angry and powerful now, Sheng Liang even suspects that the person he saw smiling kindly just now is not him.


    Seeing Sheng Liang drooping his eyes and not talking, Sheng Tianhao coughed: "don''t you have a lot to ask me, why don''t you ask?"


    Sheng Liang looked up and saw some different expressions from Sheng Tianhao''s face, but he thought that might be the reason why Sheng Tianhao had just woke up and was still very weak.


    "I asked, will you answer?" Sheng Tianhao had been avoiding these before, and he said he would never tell him.


    Sheng Tianhao sighed: "you are so much like me. You are always unwilling to admit some things, and you always choose the way for others. In the end, you find that you are really wrong."


    Seeing the self mocking smile on his face, Sheng Liang knew that he was talking about himself, so did he say something about his mother?


    "I just want to know if I......" is Sheng Liang''s child, but Sheng Liang didn''t finish. He was afraid that this was the truth. Although he didn''t like the cage like home since childhood, he felt deeply reluctant to give up when he saw the house burned to ashes last night.


    But he knew long ago that his blood type was inconsistent with his parents. At least one of Sheng Tianhao and his mother was not his own.


    Sheng Tianhao took out the pocket watch from under the pillow, handed it to him and said, "open it."


    Sheng Liang took over. The pocket watch should be that Sheng Tianhao still held it tightly in his hand in the fire. He also heard the sound of the pocket watch and found him.


    Sheng Liang slowly opened the cover of the watch and saw the old photo inside. Although he had never seen the beautiful woman in the photo once, he had a sense of kindness for no reason.


    He couldn''t describe the feeling. It was like being pulled by something. Everything he had done for so many years seemed to be to see her. He swallowed and his voice trembled: "she... She is..."


    "It''s your biological mother. Her name is Mufeng." when Sheng Tianhao said this name, it seemed that he had experienced a baptism in his heart. The memories once buried deep in his heart also rushed to his heart.


    "That..." although he was ready, Sheng Liang was still a little unbelievable when Sheng Tianhao said so. If she was his biological mother, who was the person he had been protecting in the nursing home before?


    Knowing what he wanted to ask, Sheng Tianhao sighed: "in fact, that''s Xu Yi''s mother."

 Chapter 249

    "What?" Sheng Liang didn''t expect that it had something to do with Xu Yi.


    Sheng Tianhao turned his head and looked out of the window, as if he were recalling the past: "You should also know the rumors outside. They said that the woman was a crazy woman sent by my opponent. They said that you were me and her son. Oh, that''s because they didn''t know that even if I drank too much, I would never have sex with other women. Moreover, the woman was not crazy at that time. She was cheated. She had the man''s child in her stomach. The man said only If I want to be discredited, I will marry her, so she will deliberately sleep in my bed while I am drunk and say to the reporter who has arranged in advance that her child is mine. "


    Sheng Tianhao smiled helplessly and then said, "at that time, I didn''t clarify, not because of the man''s threat, but because Mufeng was pregnant at that time. I didn''t know how to bring you back. This is an opportunity, so I acquiesced."


    Sheng Liang was shocked, but he didn''t interrupt Sheng Tianhao. After listening to him, he knew that the woman named Xu Siyu went to the man to fulfill her promise when the external public opinion was denouncing Sheng Tianhao, but the man kicked her away on the grounds that she had a adultery with Sheng Tianhao.


    Xu Siyu didn''t expect to pay so much in exchange for this result. She couldn''t think of it and chose to jump off the building. However, Sheng Tianhao just found out and pulled her back, but after that, she was in a trance.


    Sheng Tianhao still left her at home, but changed her child with Sheng Liang. Xu Yi was sent to the welfare home, but Sheng Tianhao didn''t treat him badly. His life is much better than other children, including studying abroad and studying abroad.


    Sheng liang thought of the words Xu Yi said when he met last time. He said he was atoning for his mother. Maybe he was atoning for his mother. However, even if the cause of all this was Xu Siyu, their mother and son couldn''t say they were sorry for the Sheng family.


    In particular, what makes Sheng Liang care is that Xu Yi has been helping him before. It turned out that he followed Sheng Tianhao''s instructions.


    So, over the years, Sheng Tianhao has always been sneering at him, all for outsiders?


    "Why... Don''t you let my mother in?" with him, Sheng Tianhao can''t pick up his mother openly. What''s the reason why he has to borrow Xu Siyu to bring him back?


    "Because I was married at that time, Sheng Hua was three years old." Sheng Tianhao sighed.


    Sheng Liang looked slightly. Yes, how could he forget that Sheng Hua was several years older than him.


    But in this way, isn''t his mother a third party?


    Sheng Tianhao couldn''t guess what he thought. He quickly said, "Mufeng and I met when we were in college. At that time, we were all ready to get married, but xilinshuang hid Mufeng in order to marry me, forced me to hold a wedding with her, and..."


    Sheng Tianhao didn''t finish, but Sheng Liang could understand that Sheng Tianhao at that time was just a poor boy who had just started a business. No matter what, he couldn''t compete with the Xilin family. I''m afraid Mufeng won''t be released if he doesn''t compromise.


    "I''m too useless. You should hate me. I let Mufeng come to a desperate situation step by step." Sheng Tianhao''s eyes are full of apology. The whole person collapsed, as if he was much older in a moment.


    Mufeng suffered from depression because he married xilinshuang. He thought it was for her good to bring Sheng Liang back, but unexpectedly, her depression was more serious. He arranged for her caregivers to just go out and she jumped out of the window.


    That was the most regretful thing in his life. If he could choose again, he would let their mother and son together. Even if he worked hard, he would protect their safety.


    Because of this, for a long time, he didn''t dare to be nice to Sheng Liang. He was afraid that others would find out and that the Xilin family would poison Sheng Liang. He couldn''t make the same mistake again. When he wanted to say it later, Sheng Liang had no trust in him.


    Moreover, Sheng Liang is very smart. He knows how to hide his power and hide himself, so he doesn''t say it at all, but secretly helps him when he needs it.


    This should be the whole truth. Sheng Liang was relieved after listening, which was much better than he originally thought.


    The only regret is that he hasn''t seen his mother, let alone filial piety around her.


    "Where is my mother buried?" he always went to her grave to make amends.


    Sheng Tianhao looked at Sheng Liang and said, "it''s in the maple forest opposite our house. I''ve been guarding her all the time."


    Yesterday, he had thought that if he died in the fire, he and Mufeng would be reunited.


    Sheng Liang was shocked at first, but he soon understood that the reason why Sheng Tianhao refused to leave the mansion was to guard his mother there.


    He still remembers that when they were young, Sheng Tianhao always sternly warned them not to play in the maple forest. Now he knows that he doesn''t want his mother to be disturbed, or that he is afraid to be known by Xilin frost, and won''t even give her the last peace.


    After hearing Sheng Tianhao finish these, they both fell into silence. For a long time, no one said a word. These past events are really too heavy.


    Sheng Liang can understand why Sheng Tianhao still didn''t tell him the truth after he was able to lead his own destiny. The gap between them is too deep. Even if Sheng Tianhao said it, he won''t believe it.


    However, fortunately, he appeared at the fire in time, causing no regret. Maybe this is the traction of his mother.


    However, he still doesn''t quite understand one thing. Although he knows now that Xu Yi really helped him, Xu Yi also said that Sheng Yan had to die because Sheng Yan betrayed him.


    But about Sheng Yan, in Sheng Liang''s impression, he should be incompatible with Sheng Hua. Why did he collude with Sheng Hua?


    "Sheng Yan, he started from the beginning..." if so, his vigilance is too poor, and he hasn''t noticed it all the time.


    Sheng Tianhao shook his head: "I picked up Sheng Yan from the outside, which you may not know. When Sheng Yan knew about it, he came to me and said he didn''t want to leave the Sheng house. Since I had raised him for so many years, it was impossible to abandon him, but he always seemed worried from then on. I think it was at that time that his psychology changed and he pretended to be dead , it should be the beginning of cooperation with Shenghua. "


    Therefore, Sheng Yan cheated him of his trust with a bitter meat trick, and then cheated him for so long.

 Chapter 250

    All the truth has been revealed, but Sheng Liang''s heart is still heavy. This is what he has wanted to know all these years. Now he knows about his mother, but the price is too high.


    He used to hate Sheng Tianhao so much that he even didn''t hesitate to bury Shengshi himself. Now he knows that he is wrong and meaningless.


    Sheng Tianhao should have noticed what he was doing, but he didn''t stop it because he felt he owed him.


    The ward fell into silence again. There was a violent emotion in Sheng Liang''s chest, but he didn''t know how to express it.


    A knock at the door broke the long silence here. Sheng Tianhao said to come in and saw Qiao Xuan push the door in.


    Qiao Xuan goes to help Sheng Liang buy porridge, but Sheng Liang''s figure disappears. She looks all over the hospital and thinks he may be here.


    She went to Sheng Liang and looked at their father and son. They both looked strange, but she didn''t dare to ask more. She just whispered to Sheng Tianhao, "chairman."


    Sheng Tianhao waved his hand and said with a shallow smile, "I''m nothing now. You''d better call me uncle, or you can call me dad with Sheng Liang."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment and reacted. Her face immediately turned red: "we haven''t married yet."


    Sheng Tianhao looked at Sheng Liang and deliberately asked, "why don''t you get married? Don''t you want to marry Miss Qiao?"


    If it used to be because of his situation, now he is the chairman of feilengcui, what else to worry about?


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan also turned to look at him, as if waiting for his answer, Sheng Liang frowned and said to Sheng Tianhao, "I''ll explain this to you later."


    Sheng Liang took Qiao Xuan and turned outside. He paused and added, "let''s go out first, Dad."


    Qiao xuangen had no time to say goodbye to Sheng Tianhao, but he had been dragged away by Sheng Liang.


    Calm returned to the ward. Sheng Tianhao looked at the direction of the door. There was a faint joy between his eyebrows. Sheng Liang had just called him his father. Over the years, Sheng Liang was only willing to call him his father.


    He looked down at the picture of Mufeng in his pocket watch and wiped it carefully: "Maple, our son has grown up. He finally recognized me."


    Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan back all the way, and his chest was full. Just that call seemed to exhaust all his courage. He didn''t dare to stay any longer. He was afraid that he didn''t have the ability to face what happened next.


    Qiao Xuan could feel that he was holding her hand, and his palms were sweating. He thought he had had an unpleasant accident with Sheng Tianhao just now. He asked with some worry, "are you and the Chairman... All right?"


    "It''s all right." it should be said that they have cleared up their past grievances, but he doesn''t know whether he wants to express it more clearly to Sheng Tianhao. After experiencing life and death together this time, he finds that Sheng Tianhao is really old. They have wasted so long time. In the next days, he hopes to cherish his family''s time together.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he was thinking. She just looked at his frown and couldn''t help worrying: "is the injury on his arm hurting again?"


    Sheng Liang realized that he was distracted. He looked at Qiao Xuan and nodded slightly: "a little."


    She is also his family, and he should cherish it.


    "Then go back quickly. I bought porridge. It should not be hot now." Qiao Xuan helped him and said.


    Back in the ward, Qiao Xuan helped him sit down. When he filled the porridge, he would feed him. Sheng Liang smiled and said, "I''ll do it myself."


    He used to let her feed on purpose, just like to see her face red with embarrassment. Now he doesn''t need to verify his position in her heart.


    Qiao Xuan dodged his hand: "your right hand can''t move. How inconvenient your left hand is."


    Seeing her persistence, Sheng Liang didn''t object any more. He just took a sip and asked in surprise, "did you buy it at the West Street entrance?" the old man who let him be a free labor force?


    Qiao Xuan nodded, naturally thought of it, smiled and said, "so it''s free, and the boss said that you''ll buy it for free in the future."


    Sheng Liang said with a rare smile, "I''ll confiscate his advertising fee instead of free."


    When he went there that night, I don''t know how many customers he helped him attract.


    Seeing that he is in such a good mood, Qiao Xuan probably understands that it is related to Sheng Tianhao. Sheng Liang was really lonely in the past. It''s really good to be like this now.


    After two days in the hospital, Sheng Liang had nothing to do. Although his hand was still a little weak, those injuries were not so shocking.


    In the afternoon, Xun Hui came and said that Sheng Tianhao asked Sheng Liang to come over. Sheng liang thought something had happened to Sheng Tianhao and hurried over. He went in and saw Sheng Qian. Sheng Tianhao was sitting in a wheelchair with a plaster cast on his legs, but he was relieved because his spirit was much better.


    "I asked you to come to tell you about the prosperous times." Sheng Tianhao looked at them, and then his eyes fell on Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang''s heart sank, lowered his head and said, "this is my responsibility, and I will make up for it."


    "How do you want to make up?" Sheng Tianhao asked, "sell the jadeite cold jade and buy Shengshi back?"


    Sheng Liang was surprised. He really planned to do so, because his company was originally extended from Shengshi, and it should be returned now.


    At the beginning, he turned Shengshi into an empty shell, only to maintain the superficial prosperity, so Shengshi could finally sell 400 billion. However, after the Xinier family took over, it could not sustain the superficial prosperity. Now as long as they bid, the Xinier family will want to get rid of this burden immediately.


    But when Sheng Tianhao asked, he didn''t dare to make a sound.


    Sheng Tianhao smiled and sighed: "you forget, the 400 billion yuan is still in my account. Shengshi must take it back. It''s my hard work for half my life, but I''m old. I won''t take care of things in the mall in the future. You two should work together in the future. Don''t let my hard work be wasted."


    Sheng Liang and Sheng Qian looked at each other and understood Sheng Tianhao''s meaning. Seeing that Sheng Liang was still calm, Sheng Qian patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "don''t worry, Dad, I will cooperate with my third brother, right, third brother?"


    "I''ll be relieved if you don''t look for women in the future." Sheng Liang glanced at him obliquely.


    Sheng Qian immediately explained, "it was all a long time ago. I''ve changed my mind long ago. Well, I know what the third brother means is to let me stay away from my future sister-in-law, but I''ll forgive it. I can promise at most and stop teasing her in the future."


    Originally I wanted to live in harmony with Sheng Qian, but seeing him like this, Sheng liang thought he couldn''t do it at all, but Sheng Tianhao didn''t turn against him on the spot.

 Chapter 251

    Sheng Tianhao didn''t worry about watching them come and go. In that case, Sheng Liang didn''t really encroach on Sheng Qian''s assets. It can be seen that their brothers still have feelings, but they just need time to run in.


    However, he was worried that the Xinier family would be unwilling to lose hundreds of billions out of thin air, and that they were Germanic people with iron will, and they would certainly retaliate.


    The Xilin family is still eyeing here. In the case of internal and external troubles, these two boys will inevitably worry him.


    But take your time. Their life has just begun.


    After Sheng Tianhao was discharged from the hospital, Sheng Liang originally planned to take him to his villa. The mansion burned to ashes. Even if it was repaired, it would take some time.


    Sheng Qian was quicker than him to put forward that Sheng Tianhao should be received by Sheng Qian. Of course, the reason is that Xun Hui can take care of Sheng Tianhao.


    However, Sheng Tianhao had another plan. He looked at Xun Hui next to him. Xun Hui immediately said, "you two don''t have to worry. We have made a plan to stay in Vancouver for a while. In a moment, we''ll go directly to the airport."


    Sheng Liang and Sheng Qian were stunned. Sheng Qian said directly, "when did you two decide? Don''t you discuss it with us?"


    "It''s our business. What can I discuss with you?" Sheng Tianhao''s face sank.


    As soon as Sheng Tianhao changed his face, Sheng Qian immediately stopped talking. Sheng Liang said aside, "let me send you there."


    "Can you drive with your hand?"


    "Yes."


    "Well," Sheng Tianhao said, "take Qiao Xuan with you."


    Sheng Liang nodded, "OK."


    Sheng Tianhao looked at Sheng Qian again and said, "all day long, when will you bring your girlfriend to me?"


    Sheng qianzhen was a little unbelievable. When did the old man of his family become so nagging, he choked: "you will probably see it in your lifetime."


    After thinking for a long time, Sheng Liang still asked Sheng Tianhao, "Dad, you haven''t told me what happened to the fire?"


    Sheng Tianhao thought he succeeded in diverting Sheng Liang''s attention. Unexpectedly, he asked. He looked around and said in a low voice, "you''ll know, but now is not the time."


    Sheng Liang wanted to say something, but Sheng Tianhao waved his hand and asked him not to ask again.


    Sheng Liang called Qiao Xuan. She came soon. Then they sent Sheng Tianhao and Xun Hui to the airport together. They were reluctant to part with each other. They didn''t even say more. Sheng Tianhao just sat in a wheelchair and waved back to them when he walked away, while Sheng Liang just said goodbye.


    They didn''t leave the waiting hall until the plane took off. Sheng Liang grabbed Qiao Xuan and said, "I need your help now."


    The first time she heard Sheng Liang ask her for help, Qiao Xuan thought something big had happened and hurriedly asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "We want to recover the prosperity, I need help," Sheng Liang looked at her and said, "this is a hard battle, it will be very hard, and I may meet Xinier."


    Qiao Xuan immediately said, "will I be afraid of hard work? Besides, no matter who I meet, you will protect me?"


    "Of course." Sheng Liang hugged her with unprecedented peace of mind. He knew that he was not alone now. His father, brother and his favorite woman stood beside him.


    After that, they went to the maple forest on the hill opposite Sheng''s house. Where Sheng Tianhao said, Sheng Liang saw Mufeng''s tombstone.


    The so-called blood is thicker than water. There is probably that magical power between mother and son. At the beginning, he regarded Xu Siyu as his mother, but he didn''t have that sense of closeness. However, when he saw Mufeng''s picture, his heart immediately swelled and felt uncomfortable.


    Sheng Liang wanted to bury Mufeng again, but Sheng Tianhao didn''t agree. He wanted to be buried with Mufeng in a hundred years.


    After leaving Fenglin, Sheng Liang had dinner with Qiao Xuan, and then sent Qiao Xuan home. When he got home, he saw a man standing at the gate. Looking at his figure, it was qiluo.


    She still refused to give up.


    Sheng Liang got out of the car and walked to her: "have you been discharged?"


    Ziluo looked back. Although her face was still a little pale, she looked back as usual. She asked faintly, "are you surprised to see me? Do you think I have completely lost my heart to you, and you can marry that woman without scruples?"


    Sheng Liang frowned: "Xiao Luo, it''s impossible between us. Let the past pass."


    Ziluo snorted and said with a bitter smile, "it''s easy for you to say. I''ve paid so much for you. Why should I give you to others!"


    Sheng Liang shook his head reluctantly and turned to the car: "I''ve said everything I should say. Whatever you want, it''s up to you."


    "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll kill that woman!" ziluo shouted bitterly.


    Sheng Liang opened the door with one hand and turned to look at her: "I won''t let her experience any danger again. No one can give it."


    Xu is Sheng Liang''s eyes are too cold and fierce. Qi Luo shivers, but she still doesn''t give up. She suddenly runs over, hugs Sheng Liang''s arm and says, "I don''t believe you really love her. You must say that to annoy me, right?"


    Qi Luo hugged his right hand. Sheng Liang frowned unconsciously, and then slowly broke her hand: "I won''t repeat what I said, Miss Qi, please respect yourself."


    Ziluo''s fingers were broken. Her body stepped back and looked at Sheng Liang with a sneer: "OK, this is also the last time I ask you for confirmation. In the future, I won''t entangle with you anymore. You''d better not regret today''s choice."


    Sheng Liang heard her words and went to see her again. He saw that she had gone the way she had always been, and her back was so determined.


    No matter what, as long as she doesn''t want to die, she will always find her own life.


    But he didn''t expect that the next day, he saw the report that the Qi family was going to marry the Xilin family in the news.


    Zillo is going to marry Xilin Fu?


    Sheng Liang faintly felt that there seemed to be a smell of conspiracy in it.


    Not only he, but also Roger felt it and asked in a low voice, "do you think it has anything to do with the last meeting between Xiaoqi and maihan?"


    There''s always something wrong with that.


    Sheng Liang is noncommittal. He is not sure what role Mai Han has played in this matter, but one thing is that now qiluo and Mai Han are going to take revenge on him and Qiao Xuan. Maybe the Qi family can get back to Xilin, that is, Mai Han is putting a needle in the middle.


    However, what''s maihan''s idea? Why did he introduce ziluo to Xilin Fu?


    I didn''t sleep last night. Reading the report, Sheng Liang felt a little headache and pressed his fingers on his forehead.


    Qiao Xuan just came in. Seeing that their faces were very serious, she asked, "what are you talking about?"


    Seeing her, Roger immediately smiled: "nothing, I''ll go out first."


    Qiao Xuan watched him close the door and go out. She said, "what can''t I know?"


    Sheng Liang stretched out his hand to pull her over and let her sit on his lap: "are you still used to resting for so long?"


    "It''s OK, but the new secretary is much worse than Xu Yi." Qiao Xuan doesn''t want to complain, but she has to teach her in turn. Is the Secretary too incompetent.


    Sheng liang thought for a moment and said, "the personnel department will interview new people tomorrow. Why don''t you pick them yourself?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded, looked at his face and asked painfully, "didn''t you sleep well last night?"


    "Well," Sheng Liang''s fingers crossed her lips in an ambiguous tone, "I can''t sleep without holding you."

 Chapter 252

    Qiao Xuan was distressed when she looked at his tired appearance. She didn''t completely recover from her injuries in the fire, so she put in heavy work. Recently, there was a dispute within the Xinier family, and they may withdraw from the Chinese market at any time. Therefore, Sheng Liang asked to complete the preliminary preparation for the acquisition in the shortest time. He probably didn''t sleep much these two days.


    "Now go back to your house and I''ll use it as a pillow for you." Qiao Xuan came down from Sheng Liang''s leg and pulled his hand.


    Seeing that she was serious, Sheng Liang smiled: "so you can''t wait, but I still have a lot to do now. After these two days, I will make up for you."


    Looking at the ambiguous look in his eyes, Qiao Xuan understood what he meant by compensation, but she just wanted him to have a rest now.


    Qiao Xuan turned over the documents at his hand, took out several copies and said, "I''ll see these for you, and then make a simple summary. At that time, you just need to sign."


    "Good." Sheng Liang knows Qiao Xuan''s character and agrees.


    Qiao Xuan took the document back to her office and put her work aside. She wanted to finish the cool document quickly.


    She used the inside line on the table to ask her new assistant to bring her a cup of coffee, but after waiting for a while, she saw a cup of milk tea in front of her, and she frowned.


    Before she got angry, the new assistant hurriedly said, "although coffee can refresh you, it''s always bad for your health. You''d better drink milk tea, almost."


    Coffee and milk tea... Almost?


    At work, Qiao Xuan never allowed her subordinates to make mistakes, but seeing that the person in front of her was very sincere, she nodded and let him go out.


    At noon, Sheng Liang came to ask Qiao Xuan to go out for dinner. It was near their company. Shengshi was originally opposite feilengcui, so there were people from Xinier. When they went in, they saw several Germans.


    "There will be an interview at 3 pm. Go and have a look. I heard that those people are very capable." after ordering, Sheng Liang said to Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan smiled: "forget it, I still don''t change people. Now this is OK."


    I don''t know why she changed her mind. Sheng Liang didn''t ask, but said, "whatever you want."


    While eating, they heard the German staff talking about something, but Qiao Xuan didn''t understand German, but they spoke very loudly. Qiao Xuan couldn''t help listening.


    "What are they talking about?" Qiao Xuan suddenly remembered that Sheng Liang seemed to know German and asked casually.


    Sheng Liang naturally heard it and said in a shallow voice, "Xilin Fu also wants to buy Shengshi."


    "What?" Qiao Xuan was surprised. The man really wanted to step in everywhere, or he was intentional, "what should I do?"


    Xilin Fu intends to fight against Sheng Liang. He will certainly bid higher than Sheng Liang. Moreover, if the Xinier family wants to revenge Sheng Liang, they may also choose Xilin Fu.


    Sheng Liang still bowed his head and cut the steak with an indifferent look: "Xilin won''t be interested in the mess of Shengshi now. They deliberately let out the wind to make us panic, and then increase the price by themselves."


    Although this is indeed the usual method used by the company before it was acquired, Xilin Fu sometimes doesn''t follow common sense. Sheng Liang used him to leave the organization, but he always has a grudge.


    However, Sheng Liang looks light and light. Maybe he just doesn''t want her to worry.


    After dinner, they went out from the restaurant and walked side by side. There were many people on the road. Qiao Xuan specially walked on Sheng Liang''s right for fear that others might accidentally hit Sheng Liang''s injured arm, but Sheng Liang still pulled her to the left and carefully took her hand.


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t hold hands. I can''t lose it again." Qiao Xuan blushed. It''s only a few steps away from the company, and she won''t get lost.


    Sheng Liang looked down at her expression and unconsciously smiled: "don''t you know why men like to hold their girlfriend with their left hand?"


    "What... Why?" Qiao Xuan thought she was an idiot and didn''t understand anything at all.


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hand, put it on his chest, leaned close to her ear and said, "in this way, you can be closer to my heart."


    Although they had done more intimate things, Sheng Liang was so close to her and spoke softly in her ear. Qiao Xuan still felt that her heartbeat seemed to have missed a few beats, and the blush on her face was more obvious. Especially when she saw many passers-by glancing at them, her head was lower, so she quickly pulled him and said, "we''d better go back quickly."


    Every time he sees her at a loss and her cheeks crimson, Sheng Liang is very satisfied. She is always very simple and doesn''t have so many tricks, which makes him feel very relieved.


    Sheng Liang didn''t say anything, so she let Qiao Xuan take him, but when she got to the door of the company, Qiao Xuan stopped, suddenly turned to Sheng Liang and said, "go somewhere with me."


    Although there are still many things to do, it is rare for Qiao Xuan to take the initiative to go out, and Sheng Liang didn''t refuse.


    Qiao Xuan drove and Sheng Liang sat beside her. The car drove all the way out of the city. Sheng Liang opened the window a little, and the wind slowly blew in, with all kinds of flowers on the side of the road.


    When the car finally stopped, Sheng Liang knew that the place Qiao Xuan brought him was the lavender manor in the suburbs. As soon as they got off the bus, the rich fragrance of flowers came to their faces.


    There are also many amusement facilities inside, but Qiao Xuan walked by, took his hand and walked on the ridge of a large lavender field. There was an artificial grassland in the middle. Qiao Xuan took him to sit down on the ground, looked at him and said, "I heard that the fragrance of flowers can relieve fatigue. Do you feel relaxed now?"


    So she pulled him here just to relax him?


    "Well." Sheng Liang leaned over and lay on her lap, "gorgeous son, I want to ask you, if one day I have nothing, will you still be by my side?"


    "Of course," Qiao Xuan replied without thinking. She lowered her head, stroked his hair and gently kissed his forehead. "Don''t think too much. Anyway, I will help you. I won''t let you have nothing or leave you alone."


    Sheng Liang turned over and hugged her slender waist: "thank you, gorgeous."


    Meeting her in his lifetime is the greatest blessing of his life, so even the strongest opponent, he will not lose.


    Qiao Xuan understood that Sheng Liang didn''t ask for no reason. Although he said it very easily, there are always too many variables in some things, and Sheng Shi is what he must take back, and no mistakes are allowed, so his pressure can be imagined, especially when Xilin Fu is also eyeing.

 Chapter 253

    Qiao Xuan gently rubbed his hair, looked at him with his eyes closed, breathing gradually symmetrical, and knew that he was asleep.


    She brought him out just to make him forget his work for a while, and even for a while, to make him sleep soundly.


    Sheng Liang was really tired. When he relaxed, he actually fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw that he was still in Qiao Xuan''s arms, resting on her legs and hugging her waist.


    He sat up slowly with a dull voice: "how long have I slept?"


    "An hour." seeing his frown, Qiao Xuan stretched out her hand to help him press the corner of her forehead, "do you have a headache?"


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hand and said, "it''s all right. Let''s go back."


    "Well." Qiao Xuan stood up with Sheng Liang''s hand, but suddenly he was black and fell to the side.


    "Gorgeous son!" Sheng Liang quickly hugged her.


    The dizzy feeling passed. Qiao Xuan wanted to stand up straight: "I''m fine. Maybe I was too fast when I stood up just now."


    Looking at her face, she was still pale. She didn''t get better at all. Sheng Liang didn''t release his hand. Instead, he hugged her horizontally: "I''ll take you to the hospital."


    Just now she was dizzy, but now her head hurt deeply. Qiao Xuan knew that the pain would last for a long time, so she didn''t push it off again.


    Sheng Liang took her out and drove her to the hospital. He held her hand all the way. From time to time, he turned his head and looked at her. She frowned and looked very painful. He blamed himself. He must have been too busy these days and tired Qiao Xuan.


    When she got to the hospital, she did a series of examinations. Qiao Xuan''s pain passed and fell asleep in the temporary hospital bed. Sheng Liang was watching her.


    "The doctor asked you to go to his office." the nurse came in and whispered to Sheng Liang. Seeing that he looked at Qiao Xuan uneasily, she said again, "I will take care of her."


    Sheng Liang said thank you to the nurse, stood up and went to the doctor''s office. The two images on the film viewing lamp should be Qiao Xuan''s brain CT. Sheng Liang felt a heavy heart.


    "Dr. Chen." Sheng Liang''s eyes still stay on the two films, "what''s the problem?"


    Dr. Chen motioned him to sit down, then pointed to a position on the video and said: "Do you see the shadow of this place? It should be the congestion caused by trauma. Now it should be said that it is a blood clot. The blood clot oppresses the brain nerve, so it produces the symptoms of vertigo and headache. I asked Miss Qiao. She said that there have been similar situations before, but it is not obvious and the duration is short, so she didn''t take it seriously, but this time, it may not be so simple. The location of the blood clot It may have shifted and compressed other nerves, but the reason for the shift is not clear. "


    "Trauma?" Sheng Liang doesn''t remember when she hurt her head. "Is it the latest time?"


    Dr. Chen shook his head: "it should have been many years ago, so the blood clot adhered to the surrounding tissue and could not be removed by surgery."


    "What will happen if it goes on like this?" Sheng Liang looked at Dr. Chen for a moment, afraid to hear worse news from him.


    Dr. Chen sighed and said, "according to the current situation, if the blood clot continues to shift, it may affect the optic nerve. If it moves to the brain center, it is death."


    Hearing the last two words, Sheng Liang, who had always been calm, suddenly had a blank in his mind. He asked for a long time: "there is no way... Can we treat it, even if it is to stabilize his condition?"


    "Now we can only have an infusion to see if we can turn the blood clot away, but there is little hope," Dr. Chen said with regret.


    Sheng Liang nodded, stood up and walked out: "I see. Thank you, Dr. Chen."


    Out of the doctor''s office, Sheng Liang was a little distracted. He didn''t even know how he went back. He went back to Qiao Xuan and saw that she didn''t wake up.


    Well, otherwise, he didn''t know how to face her at once.


    However, he insisted that no matter what Qiao Xuan would do, he would always be by her side.


    In a daze, Qiao Xuan woke up. Seeing Sheng Liang, she felt guilty and took his hand and said, "I''m sorry. I wanted you to relax. I didn''t expect to make trouble for you."


    "What do you say? I''m too careless to notice that you''re not in good health." Sheng Liang holds her hand in both hands and kisses her fingertips for fear that she will see the pain in his eyes at this time.


    The doctor said that she had this situation before, but she never said it, and he didn''t notice it. It was his dereliction of duty.


    Qiao Xuan smiled and wanted to sit up from bed: "I''m all right. Let''s go back to the company. There are a lot of things to deal with."


    Sheng Liang pressed her shoulder and didn''t let her move: "the doctor said your blood sugar is low and you have to lose liquid for a few days. Don''t worry about the company."


    "How can that work?" Sheng Qian is not good at business. Sheng Liang is so busy alone. "I''m really fine. Don''t you think I''m fine."


    "Listen to the doctor today. Let''s talk about it tomorrow. I''ve called my uncle and aunt and asked them to come with you. When I''m finished, I''ll pick you up." Sheng Liang saw that the nurse had come in and was ready to give her an infusion, so he automatically moved out of the way.


    Qiao Xuan wanted to say that she was really not so delicate, but seeing Sheng Liang''s serious expression, she didn''t want him to worry anymore, so she didn''t speak again.


    After Qiao''s parents arrived at the hospital, they called Sheng Liang. Sheng Liang went down to pick them up and told them about Qiao Xuan in the hospital hall, but concealed the worst possibility that the doctor said.


    Joe''s mother still couldn''t help crying: "my gorgeous son, why is life so bitter."


    Looking at Qiao''s father comforting her, Sheng Liang was silent for a while and asked, "was it hurt on her head when gorgeous son escaped from Xilin Fu?"


    Joe''s father thought about it and nodded: "yes, but there was no bleeding at that time, but it was a little swollen. The doctor didn''t say anything during the examination. I didn''t expect that after so long, he should..."


    Now, Qiao Xuan doesn''t remember what happened at that time. Maybe it''s related to her injury. They are too careless.


    Looking at Joe''s mother sad, Joe''s father regretted, but Sheng Liang secretly clenched his fist. In the final analysis, it was Xilin Fu''s reason. He and his adoptive father didn''t know how to abuse Qiao Xuan!


    "You go up and try not to let gorgeous realize that being in a bad mood is not good for her illness." if all three people stay here, Qiao gorgeous will be suspicious, and Sheng Liang wants to go back and check some information in this regard. He can''t watch Qiao gorgeous die step by step.


    Qiao''s parents entered Qiao Xuan''s ward and looked at her still pale face. Qiao''s mother almost shed tears again. Finally, she held back and smiled and asked, "how''s it going, is it better?"

 Chapter 254

    Unexpectedly, Sheng Liang really informed her parents. Qiao Xuan was a little embarrassed: "I just fainted with low blood sugar. Why are you all here?"


    Qiao''s parents looked at each other. Sheng Liang just told them that it should be kept from Qiao Xuan to avoid her wishful thinking. They naturally cooperated very well. Qiao''s father immediately said, "we''re fine at home. Sheng Liang is so busy, so don''t bother him."


    In other words, Sheng Liang can''t leave her here alone. It''s ok if her parents come. At this time, Sheng Liang can''t be distracted.


    After the infusion, it was almost six o''clock. When they came out of the ward and took the elevator, Qiao Xuan saw the floor sign outside, which showed that this floor was the ward of neurosurgery. She was stunned.


    "What''s the matter, gorgeous?" the elevator door opened. Qiao''s mother immediately pulled her when she saw that Qiao gorgeous was still in a daze.


    Qiao Xuan regained her mind and hurried into the elevator, but she still had a strange feeling in her heart.


    When they got out of the hospital gate, they just saw Sheng Liang coming face to face. Qiao''s parents consciously walked away first. Sheng Liang came forward and grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand, but they didn''t dare to be too obvious: "is it better? Does your head still hurt?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "it was nothing. You made a mountain out of a molehill."


    "Of course, I''ll be distressed if you lose a hair." Sheng Liang stroked her hair as she said.


    Seeing what he said, Qiao Xuan couldn''t help laughing, but after a pause, she asked, "by the way, I want to ask you what the doctor told you. Am I really... Just hypoglycemia? Why am I in the Neurosurgery Ward?"


    "What do you think it was? You suddenly fainted and said you had a headache. Of course, I''ll hang up the number of neurosurgery for you, and then they arranged for you here. You fell asleep again, and I told them not to change places for you." Sheng Liang knew that Qiao Xuan would ask this question, so he had already figured out the answer, and on the surface, what he said was also true.


    Seeing that his expression was natural and not like lying, Qiao Xuan believed: "I will pay attention in the future. I won''t come tomorrow."


    "That''s not good. The doctor said that you have to lose for at least a week. It''s not your business alone," Sheng Liang leaned into her ear and whispered, "hypoglycemia is not good for the baby."


    This sentence was really effective for Qiao Xuan. She immediately agreed: "all right."


    "Good." Sheng Liang kissed the top of her hair, but her eyes were dim where she couldn''t see.


    "Did you smoke?" Qiao Xuan smelled a faint smell of tobacco on him. He had never smoked before. "Is it difficult to buy?"


    Of course, it''s not because of this. He won''t take work seriously even if he encounters difficulties, but Qiao Xuan''s situation makes him feel powerless.


    One afternoon, he checked a lot of information. Cases like Qiao Xuan are rare in the world, and the records are no longer alive, so there is no trace at all.


    He sent an email to a foreign brain surgeon, but he hasn''t received a reply yet.


    Before coming, he changed his clothes specially. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan smelled it. He had to follow her guess and say, "well, it''s a little troublesome, but it should be handled soon."


    "I''ll come to the hospital in the afternoon and I can still go to the company in the morning. I''ve just read half of the financial report. There are some problems in it. I''ll tell you tomorrow." Qiao Xuan is full of thoughts about those things.


    When they said it, they just came to Qiao''s parents. Qiao''s father pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "can you two stop talking about work in private time? A pair of workaholics have no mood at all."


    Sheng Liang lost his smile and looked down at Qiao Xuan. He saw a blush on her face and spit out her tongue mischievously. She was a little cute unlike her.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan has changed a lot. In the past, she only knew work. She was a real workaholic. She didn''t understand the world. Her emotion was as simple as a piece of white paper. Now her emotion has been enriched too much.


    How could he be willing to let her leave such a woman.


    Send them home. Joe''s mother keeps him for dinner. Naturally, he is willing. He also wants to stay with Qiao Xuan for a while.


    Qiao''s parents went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Sheng Liang understood that they also wanted to give him and Qiao Xuan more time alone.


    There was a financial program that Qiao Xuan loved to watch on TV. Sheng Liang took the remote control from her hand and changed it into a romantic TV play for her. He took her head and leaned on his shoulder: "girls should watch this."


    Qiao Xuan looks at the appearance of the heroine little bird on TV. Sheng Liang lets her see this because she doesn''t think she will be coquettish, soft enough and feminine.


    She slowly put her hands around Sheng Liang''s waist, drilled her head into his arms, and rubbed gently like the heroine on TV, but she looked a little stiff because she was not used to such a move.


    Sheng Liang was so rubbed by her that he was stiff. He looked down at her and frowned and asked, "what are you doing?"


    "Nothing." when Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang''s reaction, she quickly released her hand and folded her knees to one side.


    Qiao Xuan was frustrated. She really couldn''t learn femininity.


    Seeing her lost appearance, Sheng Liang sighed, stretched out his hand and took her over: "well, learn what others do. I don''t know you the first day. What I like is your original appearance."


    Sheng Liang is not a sweet talker, so what he said, Qiao Xuan believes it is true, but in the bottom of her heart, she still feels that she is not good enough.


    In particular, she hid something from him.


    Qiao Xuan grabbed the cool clothes and asked tentatively, "I didn''t tell you something. Won''t you be angry?"


    "What''s up?" Sheng Liang looked at the man in his arms.


    Qiao Xuan sat up, turned her head and looked at the direction of the kitchen. She hesitated and whispered, "in fact, I''m not my parents'' biological daughter. I''m adopted."


    "How do you know?" Sheng Liang knew what was going on in his heart. This statement was made to hide that Qiao Xuan was the imprisoned girl, but Qiao''s parents certainly wouldn''t tell her. Who did she listen to?


    "I heard it when I went out to find my father last time." if I hadn''t heard it with my own ears, she wouldn''t know it all her life.


    Although Qiao''s parents treat her like their own daughter, sometimes she can''t help thinking about who her biological parents are and why they don''t want her, especially how a woman of unknown origin deserves Sheng Liang.


    It turned out to be so. Although she wanted to comfort her, Sheng Liang couldn''t tell her the truth. Now is not the time.

 Chapter 255

    "Those are not important. My uncle and aunt will not leave you, nor will I, and there will be no change in your life." Sheng Liang can feel her uneasiness and helplessness. He holds her tighter, as if telling her his attitude.


    Although this was not what he was most worried about now, he didn''t want her to know whether it was this matter or her physical condition.


    After dinner, he chatted with Qiao Xuan for a while. Sheng Liang got up and left without saying too much to Qiao''s parents, but they all know what to do. It''s the same to Qiao Xuan as in peacetime.


    Sheng Liang got into the car, leaned his head against the back of the chair and stayed for a long time.


    The doctor''s words echoed in his mind word by word, so that he had to face this reality.


    He knew that Qiao Xuan was a rational person, but the news was devastating. Qiao Xuan must not be able to bear it, so he couldn''t speak to her.


    There was a slight knock on the window glass. Sheng Liang turned his head and saw that it was Qiao Xuan. He immediately opened the door and went down: "Why are you getting down and going out?"


    Qiao Xuan handed him the heat preservation bucket in her hand and said, "my mother asked you to take this back. It''s preserved egg and lean meat porridge. You didn''t eat much just now. Let''s have a snack at night."


    "OK." Sheng Liang answered and asked, "do you have anything else to tell me?"


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a while before looking up at him: "you should know. The news says that ziluo is going to marry Xilin Fu?"


    "Well, I see." Sheng Liang probably guessed what Qiao Xuan wanted to say.


    Sure enough, Qiao Xuan said softly, "if you want to see her and want to persuade her not to do so, don''t worry about me, I understand."


    "What do you understand?" Sheng Liang scraped her nose and said with a smile, "don''t care about other people''s affairs. Qiluo is not a child. She has to bear the consequences for her own decisions. Besides, I have nothing to do with her, and it''s not my responsibility to persuade her."


    In fact, just now, Qiao Xuan said it didn''t matter. She was more or less concerned. When she heard Sheng Liang say so, she felt very hypocritical: "you''d better call her. Marriage is a lifelong event and can''t be impulsive."


    The most important thing is that Qiao Xuan can''t figure out how ziluo and Xilin Fu are connected. These two people should have no intersection.


    Sheng Liang knows what he should do. He is not perfunctory Qiao Xuan. He really doesn''t intend to take care of ziluo''s affairs. He knows that ziluo is angry with him in this way. If he tries to persuade her, he will only make her think he still doesn''t want her.


    "You go back quickly, I have discretion." Sheng Liang put the heat preservation bucket into the car, kissed Qiao Xuan''s forehead and said.


    Qiao Xuan had to nod and turn back until she got into the elevator and Sheng Liang''s car drove away.


    On the way, Roger called and whispered, "I saw Miss Luo enter Xilin Fu''s villa. Do you want to stop it?"


    Stop, who can stop?


    Everyone has his own choice. Since this is ziluo''s choice, he has no right to intervene.


    However, Sheng Liang called Qi Chu without any opening remarks and directly asked, "is it your idea or her idea to let Qi Luo marry Xilin Fu?"


    Qi Chu chuckled: "is there any difference? My sister is willing to pay for her family. Why don''t I do it? It''s you. Don''t you think it''s hypocritical to dump her and show false compassion at the same time?"


    "You are her own brother. Since you say so, I''m meddling." Sheng Liang hung up the phone. He has done his utmost to Qi Luo. No matter what she does in the future, it has nothing to do with him.


    In Xilin Fu''s mountain villa, Xilin Fu sat on the sofa playing with his mobile phone and turned a deaf ear to ziluo standing in front of him.


    What he is looking at is a video on his mobile phone. Outside Qiao Xuan''s community, Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang are reluctant to give up. Xilin Fu just looks at it and doesn''t show any emotion on his face.


    "Sir, Miss Qi is here. What do you think of the arrangement?" seeing that Xilin didn''t look at Qi Luo at the beginning, the housekeeper gently reminded him again.


    "Let her clean up and wait for me in the guest room." Xilin Fu said faintly without lifting his eyelids.


    "OK," the housekeeper bowed and pulled ziluo, who was still in a daze, "come with me, Miss Qi."


    Ziluo''s hand was tightly clenched. If it wasn''t for her purpose, she wouldn''t be insulted. Xilin thought who he was and treated her like that kind of woman!


    The housekeeper took ziluo to the bathroom, but ziluo didn''t take off his clothes at all. He just sat next to the bath and looked at the mobile phone screen again and again.


    Sheng Liang didn''t come and didn''t even call her. He was so heartless that she was suddenly annoyed and threw her cell phone directly into the bath.


    Well, in that case, she won''t read the old love again. Even at any cost, she must make Sheng Liang regret it!


    Zillo took off his clothes, jumped into the bath like a swimming pool and buried himself under the rose petals in the pool.


    After taking a bath, she didn''t change her clothes. She just wrapped a bathrobe, barefoot and followed the housekeeper to the guest room that the servant had just cleaned up.


    "Miss Qi, please wait here for a while. Sir will come soon." the housekeeper took advantage of the whole family, so he took extra care of ziluo.


    Ziluo nodded and watched the housekeeper close the door and go out. He was a little nervous.


    She felt that she was like a concubine waiting to be favored by the emperor in the ancient imperial palace. She was both expecting and afraid. When Qi Chu mentioned it to her, she collected information about Xilin Fu, so she knew how abnormal Xilin Fu was to women, but she still agreed, but she still held the idea that Sheng Liang would stop her. Now, she really knows, What she''s going through.


    Ziluo was thinking alone. Suddenly she heard the sound of the door being opened. She suddenly raised her head and saw that Xilin Fu had appeared at the door. He closed the door with his back hand, and then walked towards her step by step.


    Xilin Fu could not see any emotion in his eyes, but the scar on his face made qiluo unconsciously frightened. She shrank back two steps and sat on the bed at once.


    Seeing her reaction, Xilin sneered: "now I know I''m afraid. Don''t you think it''s too late?"


    His voice was hoarse, like drilling out of hell. Ziluo swallowed it secretly and said in a trembling voice, "I''m not afraid."


    Xilin Fu glanced at her and said to himself, "this expression looks like her."


    In fact, he knew that ziluo could not be the girl in those years. It was too funny just by blood type, but he also had his purpose, and it was more reassuring to confirm it.


    Xilin Fu sat down next to ziluo. Without warning, he pushed ziluo down on the bed. His big hand wearing disposable gloves touched her bathrobe and slid directly to her leg.

 Chapter 256

    Ziluo instinctively wanted to hide, but Xilin Fu held her down and tore away the hem of her bathrobe without any pity.


    But Xilin Fu''s eyes didn''t have any ripples. It seemed that he couldn''t see the spring in front of him. He turned ziluo over and saw that there was no dark red mark on her back.


    "Sure enough, it''s not her." Xilin sneered. He took off his disposable gloves and threw them into the nearby trash can. He didn''t look at qiluo lying on the bed again. He got up and went out.


    Although qiluo was nervous, she was ready to bear it, but when she looked back and saw Xilin Fu walking out, she quickly shouted, "wait, you can''t go!"


    Qi Chu has told her that before Qi Mingyu completely falls, they must climb the big tree of Xilin family. Otherwise, the so-called wall falls and people push. They may have no place in sangcheng in the future.


    Xilin Fu stopped, turned back and looked at ziluo. The look in his eyes was frozen: "are you ordering me?"


    "No, I''m not." ziluo was startled, but thinking about her purpose, she strengthened her courage and walked to Xilin Fu naked. "I know I''m not the person you''re looking for, but I can do what she can do. I can do whatever she asks."


    Xilin Fu seemed to have some interest. He turned back and looked at her. The girl''s body was exposed in front of him.


    It gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind.


    "You can do anything you ask?".


    "I... can," Zillo said, gritting his teeth, "but I hope you can promise me one thing, a trivial thing for you."


    "Say." Xilin Fu looked at ziluo with great interest, thinking how to make the best use of everything.


    "I want Shengshi." as long as Shengshi is in her name, Sheng Liang will come to her. She wants him and kneels down to beg her!


    Xilin''s look in his compound eyes was unclear. He smiled and said, "no one has ever dared to talk to me about conditions."


    Ziluo could feel that Xilin Fu was about to lose her patience. She swallowed hard and continued, "it''s really a drop in the bucket for you to buy Shengshi now, but it''s definitely a blow to Shengliang."


    Ziluo was never interested in these things before, but she really did some homework because of Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu knows what ziluo is thinking, but he definitely thinks differently from her, but he doesn''t care what ziluo is thinking. He only knows that in this way, Shengshi and ziluo will be in hand. In the future, Qiao Xuan will also surrender to him, and everything Shengliang cherishes will become his.


    There is no more thrilling revenge than this. Xilin Fu smiled faintly: "OK, I promise you."


    The next morning, Qiao Xuan had breakfast and was ready to drive to the company. Although Sheng Liang repeatedly told her to continue to go to the hospital for infusion, Qiao Xuan still felt that he made a mountain out of a molehill. Now she has nothing to do and there is no need to waste time.


    But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Roger coming over, smiled and said to her, "Liang Shao, let me pick up Miss Qiao to the hospital."


    Sheng Liang had expected that she would not be obedient, so she let Roger come. Qiao Xuan had to follow Roger to the hospital.


    After putting on the needle, Qiao Xuan saw that Roger was still nearby. She was a little embarrassed and said, "it will take two or three hours. Why don''t you get busy first? There are nurses here. You don''t care about me. I''ll go directly to the company later."


    Roger didn''t agree, but after answering the phone, his face turned a little ugly.


    "Whose phone?" Qiao Xuan asked.


    "It''s my mother. She said Qingqing vomited badly and asked me if I could go back and have a look." although he was worried, he couldn''t leave Qiao Xuan here.


    Hearing this, Qiao Xuan hurriedly said, "go back quickly. I''ll call Sheng Liang later and let him pick me up."


    Roger hesitated for a long time. Under the repeated urging of Qiao Xuan, he explained a nurse and left.


    For more than two hours, the time was a little difficult. Fortunately, the nurse had been chatting with her, so she felt that it passed faster.


    Finally, after the infusion, Qiao Xuan went out from here and was ready to take the elevator, but there were too many people at this time, so she went downstairs from the walking ladder.


    Qiao Xuan just lowered her head and walked down. She didn''t notice that someone had seen her for a long time and stood waiting for her. Therefore, when she turned the corner, she bumped into the man.


    "I''m sorry." Qiao Xuan hurriedly said, and her body hurriedly backed away, but when she looked up and saw the face in front of her, she didn''t feel her face change, "Xilin Fu?"


    Xilin Fu stretched out his hand to help her shoulder. His voice was hoarse: "how come every time you see me, it''s like seeing a ghost. Am I so terrible?"


    Qiao Xuan can''t tell the feeling. Sometimes she feels very familiar with him, but she is a little afraid of him. Especially in this case, she just wants to stay away from him: "sorry, please get out of the way."


    Xilin Fu looked at her embarrassed appearance and stood in front of her like a mountain: "what if I don''t let you?"


    He just wanted to see her angry and helpless.


    "You..." Qiao Xuan frowned, but it was impossible to go. "What do you want?"


    Although there is no personal grudge with him, this man is incompatible with Sheng Liang. Now it is said that he also wants to buy Shengshi, so they should be rivals.


    "In fact, I''m not interested in Shengshi. If you ask me, I''m willing to give up." Xilin Fu said softly.


    Qiao Xuan was surprised and looked at him with wide eyes: "do you really want to buy Shengshi?"


    "Such a good opportunity can frustrate Sheng Liang, why don''t I?" Xilin Fu took another step forward, forced Qiao Xuan to step back, and then circled her in a small corner of the staircase.


    Aware of her situation, Qiao Xuan was a little flustered and seemed to have some fear, and she couldn''t control this emotion at all, just like an instinctive reaction.


    Qiao Xuan''s head suddenly hurt, her eyebrows frowned, her hands pressed on her forehead, and her body slid slowly down.

 Chapter 257

    "What''s the matter with you?" Xilin Fu noticed something wrong with Qiao Xuan and immediately hugged her.


    "Let go..." Qiao Xuan wanted to push him away, but Xilin Fu''s hands were very tight, and her head seemed to be about to explode. Her body couldn''t make any strength at all.


    Xilin Fu totally ignored her struggle, picked her up horizontally and went down: "darling, I won''t hurt you."


    Qiao Xuan''s head hurt more. It seemed that something was about to break the shackles and get out of it.


    What''s the matter with her? Although she used to hurt, it didn''t hurt as much as it does now. It was boundless, as if she were drowning in the sea. She couldn''t find anything to catch.


    She thought of suddenly fainting that day. Sheng Liang sent her here. Sheng Liang said she was just hypoglycemic, but this is the Neurosurgery Ward.


    And her parents. When they came, Joe''s mother obviously cried, but at that time she thought Joe''s mother was too worried. Now she wants to come. Maybe she has some incurable disease.


    Otherwise, how could her head hurt so much? It seems to be about to crack.


    She didn''t even know when she fainted. When she woke up, she found that she was lying on a big bed in a room, and she had never seen the decoration here.


    "Wake up?" a dull voice sounded nearby.


    Qiao Xuan was startled and turned her head to see Xilin Fu on one side. She seemed to have sat in that chair for a long time: "this is... Your home?"


    The style here is like the noble manor in Europe in the last century, which is very suitable for Xilin Fu''s down and noble temperament.


    "Do you like it here?" Xilin Fu stood up from his chair, and his tall figure shrouded her.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly sat up from the bed, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, trying to avoid him, but as soon as her toes hit the ground, it was dark in front of her, and her body fell to one side again.


    As soon as Xilin stretched out his long arm, he took her into his arms, gently hugged her and said in her ear, "this time, you can''t escape so easily."


    When she passed out as like as two peas, he had checked it. The same mark on her back, which was exactly the same as the memory, told him that she was the girl when she was little.


    This is really a broken iron shoe. It doesn''t take much effort. It''s just because I doubt that Mai Han gave him the blood report. It''s also AB negative blood, so I went to the hospital to have a look. Unexpectedly, I met Qiao Xuan, and I was still not cool.


    This is the chance God gave him to have her again. They are the fate.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t understand what he meant. She thought he meant the last time she was in Sulin. She pushed him with both hands and said, "I''m going back."


    "Come here, how can I let you go back, angel." at that time, he didn''t know Qiao Xuan''s name. He just thought the little girl was like an angel, so he named her. Unexpectedly, when she grew up, she became more and more beautiful.


    Qiao Xuan only felt a bang, like something collapsed, and some memory fragments poured out, but when she thought clearly, she couldn''t catch anything.


    "You recognize the wrong person. I''m not the person you''re looking for." Qiao Xuan''s body is shaky. It''s not just a headache. She feels that her whole body has no strength.


    Seeing her holding the bedside and trying to walk out slowly, Xilin Fu didn''t move. He just put his hands in his pockets and looked at her: "I gave you some medicine. You don''t have the strength to escape."


    What did he say?


    Qiao Xuan turned to look at him, his eyes full of anger: "Xilin Fu, what do you want to do!"


    "Don''t you already know what I want to do," Xilin thought of something and patted his head angrily. "Oh, I forgot. You were only six years old and probably didn''t understand what I was going to do."


    Six years old... What he''s going to do... Angel


    Is it all about her? Why can''t she remember?


    But what is certain is that all this should have happened when she was six years old. Does Xilin Fu know her life experience and the memory she lost?


    "Do we... Know each other?" Qiao Xuan knew she couldn''t run away. She sat soft on the bed, but she still kept a defensive posture.


    This is the second time Qiao Xuan asked. Xilin Fu looked at her in some doubt: "do you really remember?"


    The first time, he was just skeptical, so he didn''t care if she asked, but now, he is very sure that she was the little girl, but she still looked at a loss and didn''t look like pretending.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t answer either. Although Xilin might give her the answer, she suddenly didn''t want to know.


    Sheng Liang said that no matter who she is, her life will not change. Her family and Sheng Liang will still be by her side.


    So it doesn''t matter whether she knows it or not. Besides, if the truth is so unbearable, why does she have to look for trouble.


    "Xilin Fu, please let me go. I can act as if nothing has happened." Sheng Liang will be crazy if he can''t wait for her.


    Xilin Fu sneered, turned around, sat down on the sofa and folded his legs: "when nothing has happened? I''m afraid it''s impossible. I''ve been looking for you for more than ten years. Now I finally found it. How can I let you go easily? Even if you really don''t remember, it doesn''t matter. I''ll make you remember."


    As long as the same picture is touched, the door of her memory will reopen.


    Xilin smiled coyly, and the scars on his face became more and more terrible.


    On the other hand, after receiving Roger''s call, Sheng Liang went to the hospital to pick up Qiao Xuan, but the nurse said she had just left.


    Sheng Liang immediately went to check the monitoring, but the monitoring showed that Qiao Xuan didn''t take the elevator, but took the walking ladder. There was no monitoring, so she couldn''t see what happened.


    In the next picture, even the surveillance at the door of the hospital didn''t catch Qiao Xuan going out.


    The security guard of the hospital cooperated with him to search the corner of the whole hospital, but he couldn''t find Qiao Xuan.


    A living man is like the world has evaporated!


    Qiao Xuan''s current situation may faint at any time. But at this time, he lost her.


    Sheng Liang blamed himself. If he had accompanied her to the hospital in person, she wouldn''t be missing.


    Roger blamed himself even more. He really shouldn''t have left Qiao Xuan alone in the hospital.


    Now the situation is unknown. Sheng Liang doesn''t dare to inform Qiao''s parents. For fear that they can''t bear the blow again, he just called Qiao Nan.


    "Call the police," Qiao Nan said directly.


    "We can''t deal with the missing case yet, but Liang Shao has called captain Xiao of the criminal police team and asked them to help find someone." seeing that Sheng Liang didn''t speak, Roger said to Qiao Nan.


    Qiao Nan is a little upset, but he can''t blame Sheng Liang for this. For fear that Qiao Xuan suspects her illness, they all deliberately show less enthusiasm. Who knows, Qiao Xuan disappeared in the hospital.

 Chapter 258

    "You stay here and continue to watch the surveillance. I''ll go first." it''s no use spending it here all the time. Sheng Liang turned and walked out.


    He had other guesses in his heart. He was afraid that Qiao Xuan was not missing, but that she knew her condition, so he hid himself.


    Qiao Nan saw Sheng Liang''s face dignified and didn''t stop him. The three people couldn''t all sit here and wait.


    Sheng Liang drove to many places, including the restaurant near the company, the wonton shop on the pedestrian street and the snack stand at the entrance of the West Street. For the first time, they saw Mao mountain at the sunrise, the maple forest opposite the Sheng house and the lavender manor in the suburbs, but everyone gave him the answer that they didn''t see her.


    It was getting dark, and Sheng Liang''s heart was sinking more and more. He knew that Qiao Xuan would not give them such a little information even in the most desperate time, so the rest might be that Qiao Xuan was taken away when she lost her freedom.


    Qiao Nan can''t wait any longer after looking for a big circle in the street. He is now an agent and still has some contact information of media reporters, so he calls them one by one and asks them to put a search notice on TV and newspapers.


    Now, I can''t hide it from my parents anymore.


    Because of his contacts and Sheng Liang''s influence, the TV station quickly broke in the notice and broadcast it repeatedly in the prime time.


    Xilin Fu sat on the sofa and looked at the rolling subtitles on the TV. His arms held Qiao Xuan tighter, his chin against her forehead, and his voice was dull and low: "he was looking for you, but he wouldn''t think that you were with me. When she found your body, she would completely give up. At that time, you were mine."


    What did he say, the body?


    Qiao Xuan''s heart beat violently: "Xilin Fu, what are you going to do?"


    Xilin Fu closed his eyes, deeply smelled her fragrance and said softly, "you don''t know that I''ve played with so many women before, but I didn''t really want them, because in my heart, we can only belong to each other, and no one else is worthy."


    Qiao Xuan is not interested in this. She just wants to leave here.


    "How about you? It''s your business. It has nothing to do with me. I never belong to you, and I won''t do it in the future." his touch made her feel sick, but she didn''t have the strength to break free, so she could only stare at him with disgusting eyes.


    Xilin Fu was not annoyed. He just liked her like this. He was different from those women who were submissive or wanted to refuse to welcome. He remembered clearly that when he first saw her, she was six years old. He just wanted to pull her hand and was bitten by her in two deep rows of teeth.


    The adoptive father likes to whip the girls locked up in the basement. Only Qiao Xuan. He doesn''t allow his adoptive father to touch her, not even a hair.


    At the age of 19, his heart was full of darkness, and Qiao Xuan was like an angel, so he didn''t allow anyone to desecrate her.


    The only time he wasn''t there, his adoptive father was drunk and wanted to do something wrong with Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan scratched his adoptive father''s hand with a nail. His adoptive father was angry and picked up a beer bottle and hit Qiao Xuan''s head.


    Qiao Xuan was in a coma for a whole day. He kept watch over her. In fact, he knew she was awake and saw her secretly hiding his lighter. He even knew that Qiao Xuan was leaving, so he secretly helped her put sleeping pills in her adoptive father''s wine.


    He just didn''t expect that he would get hurt. When he woke up, Qiao Xuan had been picked up by her family, and then he was taken back by Xilin''s family. Since then, he couldn''t find Qiao Xuan.


    But it doesn''t matter. After so many years of waiting, his angel has now returned to him.


    How could he be willing to let her leave again.


    "I won''t do anything to you unless you are willing." otherwise, he could have hypnotized her to obey, but in that case, it wouldn''t make any sense.


    He drugged her and just didn''t want her to run away.


    "Seventh master..." someone came in from the door and seemed to want to say something to Xilin Fu, but he looked at Qiao Xuan and stopped talking.


    Xilin Fu didn''t avoid it. He still held Qiao Xuan and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "The woman who looks like Miss Qiao has been found. What are you going to do next?" the man noticed Xilin''s cold eyes and didn''t dare to glance at Qiao Xuan.


    "Scratch her face and throw it into the moat," Xilin said casually.


    "Yes, seventh master, I''ll do it now." after receiving the instruction, the man immediately turned and left.


    Qiao Xuan was almost ready to stand up. What did Xilin Fu say just now? They found a woman who was very similar to her and wanted to kill that woman and pretend to be her?


    "Stop and stop your plan at once!" Qiao Xuan roared regardless of her image. "Xilin Fu, you''re killing!"


    "What''s the matter? It''s not the first time." his hands have been stained with too much blood. How can he care about this time.


    Qiao Xuan''s face turned white and her whole body trembled with cold: "you are a devil!"


    "You''re right, angel and devil. Look how matched we are." Xilin bowed his head and kissed Qiao Xuan''s face.


    Qiao Xuan immediately felt cold all over her, but she couldn''t do anything.


    What to do? If Sheng Liang really thinks she''s dead and doesn''t look for her anymore, she may have no chance to escape.


    Xilin Fu must have such an idea, so he didn''t hesitate to kill an innocent man.


    If she wants to find a way, at least let Sheng Liang know that she is still alive.


    All night, Sheng Liang and the whole family didn''t sleep. They had looked for all the places they could find. Now, they can only wait for the news from the police at home.


    "Uncle and aunt, you go to bed first. Xiaonan and I will just wait." Sheng Liang doesn''t want Qiao Xuan not to find it. Qiao''s parents are also ill.


    Seeing that they didn''t respond, it was obvious that they couldn''t sleep when they went back to the room. Qiao Nan sighed: "it''s no use for us to wait here. Go to sleep. If my sister has news and you two have no spirit, what should I do? My sister will blame me."


    They all know the truth, but now there is no news. They can''t sleep at all.


    Joe''s father looks at Joe''s mother. Her spirit is very poor. She was worried about Qiao Xuan''s body before. Now even people are missing. Now she is completely struggling.


    Unable to bear to see her like this, Joe''s father advised, "let''s go to bed first and replace them later."


    Think about Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan who have been looking for Qiao Xuan today. They must be tired. No one''s body can stand it if they consume it like this. When they find Qiao Xuan and she needs someone to take care of, they are powerless.


    Joe''s mother stopped insisting and went back to the room with Joe''s father.

 Chapter 259

    Qiao Nan looked at the time. It was almost one o''clock in the morning. He asked, "is Xiao Feng reliable or not? I think he seems to have a prejudice against you. Will he really help?"


    "He is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private. He was rude to me before, just because I happened to be related to several cases." on this point, Sheng Liang believes in Xiao Feng''s ability.


    They were saying that someone knocked at the door outside. Qiao Nan immediately looked at Sheng Liang and said, "is it my sister who came back by herself?"


    "Roger, go and open the door." Roger must have found something when he ran here so late.


    Qiao Nan opened the door. Roger immediately came in, walked towards Sheng Liang and said, "cool little, I''ve found something."


    Sheng Liang''s heart began to jump uncontrollably. He received his mobile phone from Roger and saw a surveillance video recorded by Roger, which was a picture at the door of the hospital earlier.


    "Liang Shao, do you think this man looks like Xilin Fu?" Roger said, pointing to a man who had only one side face from beginning to end.


    No, Sheng Liang is sure that it''s Xilin Fu. He won''t admit his mistake.


    Although the time point is not quite right, it appears where Qiao Xuan is missing. Sheng Liang must have something to do with Xilin Fu.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang had stood up and went straight out, Roger quickly followed up: "Liang Shao, are you going to find Xilin Fu?"


    "You all wait here. If Xiao Feng has news, you can rush there as soon as possible." even if Qiao Xuan''s disappearance is related to Xilin Fu, Xilin Fu doesn''t necessarily hide Qiao Xuan in his home. He still needs someone to move at any time.


    Roger and Qiao Nan looked at each other. Before they spoke, Sheng Liang''s mobile phone rang. His footsteps immediately stopped at the entrance of the whole family.


    "Mr. Sheng, we found Miss Qiao. Are you coming now?" Xiao Feng looked at the swollen body with blisters on the ground next to him.


    "Where?" Sheng Liang seemed to guess something from his tone and asked carefully.


    "Come and talk about the riverside section of the moat," Xiao Feng said, hung up the phone, watched the forensic cover the body with white cloth, and his men gave him the material evidence bag with Qiao Xuan''s wallet and ID card.


    Sheng Liang''s car arrived soon and got off far away, because the area next to the moat was full of police cars and ambulances.


    He frowned tightly. Although he was eager to arrive as soon as possible on the way, he was afraid when he really came here. The closer he was to the place surrounded by a group of people, the more he dared not go forward.


    "Mr. Sheng, you''re here." Xiao Feng saw him and asked the policeman next to him to make way for him.


    Sheng Liang stood there, looking at the body lying on the ground, feeling that his heart was going to stop.


    Roger and Qiao Nan came in another car. They didn''t catch up with Sheng Liang on the way, so they arrived a little later than Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Nan ran over, pulled away the people in front and looked at the body covered with white cloth on the ground. He squatted down slowly, carefully opened a corner, summoned up his courage and looked at the face of the body, but he immediately shouted angrily, "what''s going on, who did it!"


    The corpse''s face seemed to be scratched by a knife, and soaked in the water for a long time. The knife edge turned outward, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.


    But Qiao Nan recognized Qiao Xuan''s clothes. Especially, she saw that there was a special bow on the beige windbreaker coat, which was tied in Qiao Xuan''s own way.


    Really... Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Nan fell to the ground and suddenly cried loudly: "sister, sister, this is false. You lied to me. Wake up. Your parents are waiting for you. Do you hear..."


    Xiao Feng looked at Qiao Nan crying like a child, but Sheng Liang just stood there, like a puppet that had lost his soul. He couldn''t help asking, "does Mr. Sheng want to confirm the identity of Miss Qiao?"


    Sheng Liang nodded, but his eyebrows frowned tighter.


    When Qiao Nan opened it just now, he also saw that face, which was very similar to what Xilin would do.


    From his appearance in the hospital, he probably knew that Qiao Xuan was the little girl in that year. In order to avenge that year, he killed Qiao Xuan in such a cruel way.


    But in my heart, what''s the feeling? Qiao Xuan''s death is so miserable. He should be heartbroken, but he can still stand here calmly and think about the context of things.


    Is it too sad to know how to express it?


    "Miss Qiao was obviously murdered, so we may have to take the body back to the Bureau for judicial autopsy. Of course, it also needs the signature and consent of the family members." Xiao Feng looked at Qiao Nan. He seemed to have cried silly and sat on the ground. He should have been unable to make any decision, so he had to turn his eyes to Sheng Liang again. "What do you think?"


    "As long as we can find the person who killed her, of course we will fully cooperate." Sheng Liang''s eyes still fall on the body, and he can''t feel close.


    Xiao Feng then commanded people to carry the body into the car. Qiao Nan held on to the white sheet, but was pulled away by the police.


    Sheng Liang looked coldly in the back, as if everything had nothing to do with him.


    "Cool little, don''t you mind?" Roger looked at Sheng Liang''s state and was worried. He thought he was trying to contain his emotions.


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer. He turned and walked towards his car. When Roger wanted to remind him to drive carefully, he had quickly driven out of the car.


    At Xilin Fu''s hilltop villa, Sheng Liang stopped the car and walked slowly to the door. He saw that the light in the living room was still on. Xilin Fu sat on the sofa, like reading a newspaper or waiting for someone.


    Sheng Liang pushed the door in. Xilin Fu didn''t look up, but smiled: "it''s so slow, not like you."


    Sure enough, he knew he would come, or he did it just to let him come to him.


    Sheng Liang stood not far from Xilin Fu and looked at him with his hands in his pockets: "is this the result you want? Do you have to kill her to cover up your dark history?"


    Xilin replied noncommittally, "when did you know?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer, but followed the previous question and said, "when it comes to black history, those days in that organization are the most unknown to others?"


    Sheng Liang is threatening him. Yes, even if he is the head of the Xilin family and has the power to raise his hand to cover the sky in Sang City, that organization is an assassination organization. Even the president of the United States is afraid of them. If they know that Xilin Fu is still alive, they will kill people.


    Xilin Fu chuckled and showed a disdainful expression: "with those bastards, I''m afraid they don''t even know how to die."

 Chapter 260

    Sheng Liang was surprised. Although he wondered why he hadn''t heard from those people for so many years, he didn''t expect that Xilin fu... Had been solved.


    "Surprised," Xilin Fu turned his body sideways, overlapping his legs and looked at Sheng Liang, "your method is very easy to use. I can''t help but learn from it. However, I killed them all. You have to thank me. Otherwise, you will be very troubled now. Those people won''t spare the traitors lightly."


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak for a long time. The news still shocked him. He knew the means of Xilin''s torture and killing, which can''t be described as cruel at all.


    Looking at the worried look on his face, Xilin Fu stood up, went to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of red wine and looked at him with deep meaning: "it seems that you brought me a gift."


    Xilin Fu said and took a sip of red wine.


    Sheng Liang hurriedly said, "don''t hurt him!"


    "It''s late."


    As soon as Xilin Fu''s voice fell, he heard a scream from the villa, and his nerve burst.


    "Bring the sneaking kitten here." Xilin said to the direction of the voice.


    Sheng Liang also looked over there. He saw several people in black suits, dragging a man who was already covered with blood, and threw it on the ground.


    The face on the ground is facing down. Sheng Liang can only be recognized from his clothes. This is not Roger, but Qiao Nan!


    It turned out that Qiao Nan also found it. The body was not Qiao Xuan at all, so he immediately thought that the person who was still alive, capable and likely to mislead them was Xilin Fu.


    It''s right to think about it. Even he can recognize that it''s not Qiao Xuan, not to mention his own brother who grew up with Qiao Xuan and spent many years together day and night. How can he not recognize it.


    Qiao Nan had lost consciousness and fainted on the ground. He didn''t move, but there was no fatal injury on his body. He should have been caught in a trap when he dived in. Therefore, although he was covered with injuries, he wouldn''t die.


    Xilin sighed and said with some regret, "you''ve seen through it so quickly. It''s a waste of my time, but I really want to know how you can see it at a glance?"


    He also saw the photos himself and asked his men to do it when he thought it was OK.


    "People like you can''t understand if you say it." Xilin Fu is so cold-blooded. How can he understand what emotion is, let alone the feeling of spiritual connection that melts into his bones.


    Xilin Fu sneered, but did not refute. He just looked at Qiao Nan and said: "I still remember what you just said about the black history. In fact, you are my black history. If you die, no one in the world will beat me. However, it should be boring when there is no opponent. Why not? If you can take him out today, I''ll take it as if it didn''t happen today. On the contrary, you two will die here."


    At the moment when Xilin Fu finished, Sheng Liang heard a sound of footsteps outside. Although the sound was not loud, he could judge that there were at least a hundred people.


    Those who can stay with Xilin Fu are naturally not weak. He can barely go out alone, but it is almost impossible to take Qiao Nan who is injured and unconscious.


    "OK." Sheng liang thought a little and quickly agreed.


    Xilin Fu took another sip of red wine and said in a hoarse voice, "I''ve always been curious about how you escaped without killing people. Let me have a good look today. It''s just that you still have that ability after ten years of ease."


    Seeing his look of watching a good play, Sheng Liang ignored it and helped Qiao Nan up from the ground: "Xiao Nan, I''ll take you out now."


    Qiao Nan woke up and faintly heard Sheng Liang''s words and nodded gently.


    It''s probably useless to say that he doesn''t want to drag him down now. He can only strengthen his consciousness and try not to become a burden of Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu watched them go out, his lips raised slightly, his nose hummed, and then his hands loosened, and the red wine cup fell to the ground. The juice in the cup spilled out and dyed a large area red on the White Cashmere carpet, like red blood.


    He walked slowly to the door of a room next to the stairs, gently opened the door, looked at Qiao Xuan, who was tied in the corner with red eyes, closed the door with his back hand, saw Qiao Xuan struggling hard, and a whine came out of his sealed mouth. He stretched out his fingers and made a silent movement: "keep your voice down, or they''ll all die."


    The anger in Qiao Xuan''s eyes wanted to burn Xilin Fu to ashes. She knew that Xilin Fu deliberately tied her here to let her hear his conversation with Sheng Liang, let her hear Qiao Nan''s scream, drive her crazy and despair. Xilin Fu is really a devil!


    She can imagine how tragic the scene outside is now. Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan are being besieged by so many people, but she can''t help them, and it is precisely because of her that they are in such danger.


    Qiao Xuan''s tears kept flowing down. Although she didn''t want to show her embarrassment in front of the devil, she couldn''t control it at all.


    Seeing her cry, Xilin Fu frowned. He squatted down in front of her and carefully wiped the tears on her face, but Qiao Xuan quickly avoided and stared at him with anger and hatred.


    Xilin Fu smiled bitterly and simply sat on the ground next to her: "I don''t want to torture you when I do all this. I just want you to know that I can easily take all you have now. Only if you listen to me can you ensure their safety."


    If he meant to let her exchange her body, she would rather die now, but what about Sheng Liang, what about Qiao Nan, and what else she could do to save them.


    Qiao Xuan can''t see the situation outside, but Xilin Fu specially chose a room with poor sound insulation, so she can still hear the fighting outside and the sound of sticks and other things falling on her body.


    Her tears flowed more and more, her sight had long been blurred, and her heart seemed to be torn in two, so painful that she couldn''t breathe.


    She nodded heavily at Xilin, as if agreeing to his terms.


    As long as Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan are safe, she doesn''t care about anything. She''s willing to pay anything.


    Xilin was a little excited when he saw her nod. He was like a child who finally got candy. He carefully tore the tape on Qiao Xuan''s mouth for fear of hurting her. He moved slowly bit by bit: "a little pain, you can bear it."


    Finally, he tore off the tape and looked at the tears on Qiao Xuan''s face. He took her in his arms painfully: "it''s okay, I''ll love you."

 Chapter 261

    The door of the room suddenly opened. A man in a black suit came in flustered, looked at Xilin Fu and said, "seventh master, Sheng Liang... Sheng Liang ran away!"


    Xilin was surprised and turned to look at the door: "how possible, how possible!"


    Those people were all carefully selected by him. They were all ten fighting masters, but unexpectedly, Sheng Liang ran away.


    Sheng Liang, even if he left the organization for so many years, it seems that he hasn''t wasted his skills.


    After the surprise, Xilin smiled again: "good, or my future life will be really boring."


    Qiao Xuan naturally heard that. Sheng Liang left. Sheng Liang left. Great. She knew that Sheng Liang would never do anything unprepared, and no one could defeat him.


    Moreover, he must know that Xilin used his and Qiao Nan''s safety to threaten her, so he did his best.


    Qiao Xuan''s tears fell again, but this time, she was smiling.


    Sheng Liang hasn''t given up her yet. How can she give up herself? She needs to calm down and find a way to leave.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s look at this time, Xilin Fu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He did so much for her, but he only saw her tears. A little cool thing, even a word, could make her smile bright.


    He is really unwilling. Where did he lose.


    Outside the villa, Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan got into the car. Both of them had blood, which was shocking in the moonlight.


    But just now, Sheng Liang basically blocked in front of Qiao Nan, so Qiao Nan didn''t add new scars. He watched Sheng Liang deal with those people with his own eyes, so he admired Sheng Liang more than anyone. In that case, he could deal with it so calmly without any confusion.


    The car quickly drove out. Qiao Nan looked at the gradually blurred shadow of the villa in the rearview mirror and whispered, "I''m useless. I didn''t find my sister and almost implicated you."


    "Hua''er is inside, I''m sure." when he stood there, he could even feel Qiao Xuan''s breath. She seemed to be very close to him, but he couldn''t save her immediately.


    Qiao Nan immediately said, "then what are we waiting for? Tell Xiao Feng now and let him take someone to search Xilin Fu''s villa!"


    "It''s not that simple. Even if the police enter the search, they may not be able to find Hua''er. Xilin Fu will certainly transfer her. At that time, we won''t find her."


    Qiao Nan frowned: "what should I do? I can''t let my sister stay with the devil all the time."


    Who knows what abnormal things that bastard will do.


    "I won''t let her wait for a long time." Sheng Liang held the steering wheel tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand burst out.


    Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was again carried into a room by Xilin Fu. He put her on the bed and didn''t tie her. He turned and went out.


    Qiao Xuan heard the sound of the door closing. Her fingers moved and supported her to get up from the bed, but she couldn''t make any strength up and down.


    However, Qiao Xuan didn''t give up. Although she couldn''t get up, she turned over by willpower and became a lying position.


    Because she saw the glass on the bedside table.


    However, because she had no strength, her outstretched hand fell down again and again, and almost touched the cup every time.


    Qiao Xuan felt so powerless that she couldn''t catch what was clearly in front of her, but she couldn''t catch it with any effort.


    The sweat on her body came out, wet her hair and stuck to her face.


    After trying many times, her fingertips finally touched the cup. Qiao Xuan felt a burst of joy in her heart. She bit her lip for fear of losing her strength, and stretched her arm forward as much as possible.


    Although, the length of extension is almost negligible.


    But just as she was about to knock the cup to the ground, a hand suddenly stretched out and picked up the cup.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank, looked up and saw Xilin''s gloomy look.


    "Do you want to drink water?" Xilin fuming asked, "just tell me. Why bother yourself so much."


    What made Qiao Xuan tremble was not what Xilin Fu said, but the syringe in his hand.


    She knows what''s in there.


    Xilin put the cup down again, pushed it in, and then sat down by the bed. With Qiao Xuan lying down, he fell in her ear and said softly, "don''t be so afraid. I won''t hurt you or force you. I will make you fall in love with me willingly."


    Otherwise, he can use hypnosis to make her die hard on him.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t ask him to let her go, nor did she provoke him with words. She knew it was useless. She wanted to keep calm as much as possible, and then look for the right opportunity.


    Seeing that she didn''t speak, Xilin thought she had compromised. He pushed the liquid in the syringe into Qiao Xuan''s body and kissed her hair: "you''re too tired. Have a good sleep."


    The medicine came quickly. Even if Qiao Xuanxuan felt a burst of sleepiness coming up, his eyelids were too heavy to open, and he soon fell asleep.


    Xilin looked at Qiao Xuan falling asleep, put his hand around her, let her lie down again, covered her with a quilt, and then slowly withdrew from the room.


    Just as he closed the door gently, someone came over and bowed and said, "seventh master, the woman in the basement is awake."


    Xilin Fu had no waves on his face. He turned to one side, waved his hand and said, "she''s given it to you. You don''t have to report to me in the future. I''m not interested in cheap women."


    If it hadn''t been for Zillo''s use, he would have taught someone to throw her into the river.


    Qi Mingyu just wants to make a deal with him with such a daughter. It''s really fantastic.


    Xilin went downstairs and said to the housekeeper who bowed at the entrance of the stairs, "at 3 a.m., we have a batch of goods to go out of the wharf. You let out the wind and let everyone know that this batch of goods is complete. Our people should arrange and unify the caliber."


    "Yes, seventh master, I''ll arrange it now." the housekeeper immediately turned and left.


    Xilin Fu watched the housekeeper disappear at the door, his hands in his pockets, and his smile was a little gloomy.


    The whole family is not cruel enough. Then let him help them again.


    Xilin Fu sat on the sofa in the living room and smoked all night. He was excited by the good news coming.


    As he expected, the morning news reported that the goods were seized by the police, and Qi Chu was arrested into the anti drug brigade overnight. The activities that the Qi family had been doing secretly were completely exposed.


    "This is where you want to use me." Xilin Fu sneered, got up from the sofa, went to the bathroom to wash away the smell of smoke before entering the kitchen.


    "Seventh master, breakfast is ready, and I''m just going to take it out." the cook thought that Xilin would come in when he was very hungry. Afraid of his scolding, she hurriedly said.

 Chapter 262

    "No, I''ll do it myself." Xilin Fu put a cup of hot milk and some cheese cakes on the tray. When he turned around, he took a straw and put it into the milk cup.


    Walking slowly upstairs, Xilin Fu gently pushed open the door and went in. He saw Qiao Xuan still with his eyes closed. He went to the bedside, put the tray on the bedside table and looked at Qiao Xuan with a low eyebrow: "I know you''re awake. Have breakfast."


    Qiao Xuan''s eyelashes trembled and finally opened her eyes. She just looked into Xilin Fu''s eyes, full of anger.


    "Your expression is as stubborn and lovely as when you were a child." Xilin Fu leaned over and pinched Qiao Xuan''s chin.


    Qiao Xuan instinctively tilted her head and wanted to avoid his hand, although she knew it was only in vain.


    However, she really avoided. I think the effect of last night has dissipated.


    Xilin Fu saw her movements without much accident or any worry. He sat down next to her, reached out his hand to help her upper body up, leaned against his chest, noticed that Qiao Xuan wanted to push him away, and said in a hoarse voice, "I''ll give you freedom, but don''t think about running out. You can''t run out."


    "No matter what you do, I can''t like you." Qiao Xuan''s body was pressed by Xilin''s arm in front of her chest, and she didn''t waste any strength she had just recovered.


    Xilin cut a small piece of cake with one hand and handed it to Qiao Xuan''s mouth with a fork: "you don''t have to deny it in a hurry. After Sheng Liang disappears from the world, you may not say so."


    Qiao Xuan was surprised: "what do you mean, what do you want to do again!"


    Xilin Fu didn''t answer, but his face became colder and colder: "the more you care about him, the more I want him to disappear earlier."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was cold. Her lips trembled a few times, but she swallowed the words to her mouth.


    "That''s good. Open your mouth." Xilin smiled, and the cold in the bottom of his eyes faded slowly.


    Qiao Xuan frowned, but she couldn''t do better than swallowing mechanically.


    Xilin Fu is a pervert. He can do anything.


    The most important thing for her now is to maintain her physical strength and wait for opportunities quietly.


    After breakfast, Xilin Fu asked the maid to help Qiao Xuan change her clothes, then took her downstairs and went to the yard to bask in the sun.


    It''s already April of the lunar calendar. The sun is already dazzling in the morning. Fortunately, Xilin Fu put her on the chair under the sunshade.


    "You see, it''s a good day. I can make breakfast for you every day and bask in the sun with you until you have white hair. This is the life I dream of." Xilin Fu surrounds Qiao Xuan''s neck and rubs her hair on her cheeks behind her.


    That''s what he wants, not her.


    If she had to spend the rest of her life with such a dressed animal, she would rather die!


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes looked at the direction of the door and imagined that Sheng Liang was standing there.


    But she didn''t want him to appear. She knew that Xilin Fu must have set a trap waiting for him.


    Seeing her expression, Xilin Fu knew what she was thinking, and her eyes were filled with a deep chill.


    Just then, Xilin Fu''s assistant came, came to him, looked at Qiao Xuan, and stopped talking.


    Xilin took back his hand, stood up straight and said in a cold voice, "what''s up?"


    The assistant hurriedly said, "someone from the Xinier family said he wanted to see you. He should want to talk about the acquisition of Shengshi."


    Hearing the word Shengshi, Qiao Xuan was immediately attracted, but she didn''t show it too obviously.


    But her subtle movements were still seen by Xilin Fu. Xilin Fu put his hands in his pockets and said to his assistant, "go and tell them how much Xilin''s family gave them. I''ll give them 100 million more."


    Qiao Xuan was even more surprised. Sheng Liang originally said that Xilin Fu would not be interested in Shengshi, but he deliberately raised the base price.


    The assistant hesitated, but seeing Xilin''s winning face, he didn''t say anything more and went back immediately.


    "Are you so interesting? Shengshi has its own operation mode and concept. Unless there is a complete change of blood, who will take over is also a hot potato. Are you really not afraid to lose the whole Xilin family?"


    Xilin Fu turned his head and looked at her with a secret smile: "compared with Sheng Liang, the person who wants to take back the prosperous age is Sheng Liang. He destroyed it himself. Even at all costs, he also wants to make up for his mistakes, doesn''t he?"


    Yes, Qiao Xuan knows that Xilin Fu is right. Shengshi is Shengliang''s heart knot. He worked step by step for so long before he finally emptied Shengshi. In the end, it was just a misunderstanding.


    She knew more about his remorse and guilt than anyone else.


    Xilin Fu took advantage of this and wanted Sheng Liang to exchange everything in his hand.


    Qiao Xuan hung her head, but suddenly smiled: "no matter how well you plan, I still believe that you can''t win him."


    Sheng Liang won''t lose so easily.


    Xilin Fu was stabbed by the smile on Qiao Xuan''s lips, clenched his fist and said coldly, "wait, I''ll let you see how miserable he lost."


    Looking at Xilin Fu, she turned away angrily and threw her in the yard. Qiao Xuan looked up and took a deep breath of fresh air. She said silently, "Sheng Liang, I will help you."


    There seemed to be a voice behind the flowers beside her. Qiao Xuan looked warily at her: "who''s there?"


    "Sorry, sorry, Miss Qiao, i... I lost my shoes." a young man in a black suit came out of the flowers and smiled.


    Looking at him, it should be the security personnel of the villa, but Qiao Xuan was shocked when she saw him looking up. How could it be Roger!


    And his voice seemed to be deliberately thick, and there were several scars on his face, so she didn''t recognize him at the first time.


    Seeing Roger bowing to her, she walked away quickly. Qiao Xuan''s shock just calmed down. She understood that there must be a lot of monitoring here. They are all under Xilin Fu''s monitoring, so Roger didn''t dare to say more to her.


    However, Roger''s appearance still reassured her a lot. Sheng Liang was really not willing to leave her here alone.


    Qiao Xuan still sat there and didn''t move. Although Xilin Fu didn''t inject her with that medicine today, she was still soft after lying for so long. Even if she wanted to go back to the house, let alone do anything else.


    After a while, Xilin Fu was probably relieved of his anger. He came over again and reached out to pick up Qiao Xuan, but he didn''t go in, but to the garage.


    Put Qiao Xuan into an Aston car, and Xilin Fu also sat in the driver''s seat.


    "Where are you taking me?" Qiao Xuan looked at him defensively.


    "Don''t you want to see your brother?" Xilin seemed to point out. "What happened last night was a misunderstanding. I have to apologize to him."

 Chapter 263

    Qiao Xuan could not see any guilt from his face, but she heard Qiao Nan''s scream clearly when she thought of what happened last night. She really wanted to see how Qiao Nan is now.


    Seeing that Qiao Xuan had no objection, Xilin Fu drove out, went down the mountain, and soon came to the door of a hospital.


    But Xilin Fu didn''t get out of the car in a hurry. He reached over, clasped her neck, pressed her head on his chest, and said in her ear, "I know you''ll be good."


    His tone was full of threat. Qiao Xuan could hear it. Before she gave a response, Xilin Fu had released her and got out of the car.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and saw that Qiao Nan was coming out of it. Maybe his leg was hurt and he didn''t walk very fast.


    Xilin Fu stood outside the revolving door, as if waiting for Qiao Nan.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank. She knew too much about Qiao Nan''s impulsive nature. In this case, seeing Xilin Fu, she would certainly work hard with Xilin Fu. She hurried to get out of the car to stop it, but she found that the door couldn''t be opened at all.


    Qiao Nan really looked up and saw Xilin Fu. He immediately rushed to Xilin Fu, grabbed his collar and questioned him loudly.


    Xilin Fusi didn''t hide, let alone fight back, but Qiao Xuan noticed that Xilin Fusi seemed to look up, and she immediately followed his line of sight.


    Then her heart almost stopped beating.


    The hospital is under expansion, and the newly built inpatient department next to it is being built to a high level. When Qiao Xuan looks up, she sees that the moving boom of the tower crane stops just above Qiao Nan''s head, and the two stone slabs hanging on it are shaky!


    Qiao Xuan''s voice that she wanted to scream was stuck in her throat, but she could do nothing but watch.


    Soon, Qiao''s parents also appeared. They should not know who Xilin Fu is, so they are holding Qiao Nan.


    Seeing that they were all in danger, Qiao Xuan didn''t realize that her eyes were black.


    Xilin Fu looked back at Qiao Xuan. There was a wicked smile on his lips. He sent a signal to the people above, and the boom moved away.


    When Qiao Xuan saw that the danger was relieved, her nervous tension relaxed. Her body leaned softly against the seat, and her head and palm were full of cold sweat.


    Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qiao Xuan saw that Xilin Fu had got on the car. She immediately looked out. Qiao Nan and her parents had left, and her heart was slowly implemented.


    "Just scared?" Xilin used his handkerchief to help Qiao Xuan wipe the fine sweat on his forehead and said solemnly, "it''s really dangerous. If the slate falls down, your family will die. Even if it''s cool, it''s impossible to escape such an accident?"


    So he deliberately brought her here to show her his means?


    Qiao Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, "I won''t run. Don''t hurt them."


    Even if there was nothing just happened, she didn''t intend to leave. If she wanted to help Sheng Liang, she had to cooperate with him inside and outside. With this opportunity, it would be more logical for her to stay.


    Xilin Fu seemed very satisfied with her performance and stroked her hair like a doll: "that''s good. Don''t worry, your family is my family. I won''t let them be wronged."


    "HMM." Qiao Xuan pretended to be clever and nodded. In Xilin''s compound eyes, she probably thought she was frightened by what just happened.


    Xilin Fu drove back to the villa, but after an intersection, he found a car following him. He took a look in the rearview mirror, accelerated the speed, took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times and sent a number.


    Qiao Xuan noticed something wrong when she found that the route was wrong, and then saw that the car behind them had been following them.


    It can''t be Qiao Nan. Her heart beat hard.


    She unconsciously stared at the car from the rearview mirror. The distance was a little closer. She finally saw that the person in the car was not Qiao Nan, but Qi Chu.


    In the underground parking lot of a shopping mall, as soon as Xilin Fu parked his car, Qi Chu ran over and smashed the window glass several times: "get off for me!"


    Xilin Fu took his time and smiled at Qiao Xuan: "wait for me for a while."


    With Xilin''s action of pushing open the door, Qi Chu unconsciously stepped back two steps, but he didn''t show weakness in his tone: "did you write the report letter?"


    "So what." Xilin Fu sneered, but didn''t look at Qi Chu.


    Qi Chu clenched his fist: "our whole family has no enemies with you. Why did you force us to a dead end!"


    "Because," Xilin Fu turned his eyes to Qi Chu, his voice was hoarse and full of disdain, "mulberry city is the battlefield between me and Sheng Liang. You are in the way."


    "For this reason?" Qi Chu looked at Xilin Fu incredulously and hated everywhere. "Do you underestimate the power of our Qi family in Sang city? Even if my father retreats, no one can shake."


    When Qi Chu''s voice fell, a dozen people with sticks came around and slowly surrounded Xilin Fu.


    Qiao Xuan saw it in the car. Her mood was a little complicated. Although she wanted to escape Xilin Fu, she didn''t seem to hate him so much that she wanted him to die.


    Moreover, in this situation, if something really happened to Xilin, Qi Chu probably wouldn''t let her go.


    After all, because of ziluo''s relationship, Qichu is also full of hostility to her.


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes searched in the car. She saw Xilin Fu''s suit and coat on the back of the chair, and half of the mobile phone in her pocket was exposed.


    She hesitated for a moment and saw that the situation outside had made her hesitate. She quickly took out his mobile phone. At that time, there was information coming in. Qiao Xuan saw that it was a name called Lian Cheng, which seemed to be Xilin Fu''s bodyguard and asked Xilin Fu''s next instructions.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t think much at that time. She immediately went back to the past, told Lian Cheng about the current situation and asked him to come quickly.


    Seeing that those people were about to start, Xilin Fu was still in no hurry. He even stepped back, leaned against the car and smoked idly.


    Qi Chu''s face was even worse. It seemed that Xilin Fu despised him too much and was about to command people.


    At that moment, another car drove into the parking lot, and three or four people came down from the car, led by Lian Cheng.


    "Seventh master." Lian Cheng bowed slightly to Xilin Fu, "how do you deal with these people?"


    "Whatever," Xilin vomited a cigarette and stared at Qi Chu with dark eyes, "this man, leave a breath for me."


    Even when they came in, Qi Chu didn''t take it seriously at all. There were more than a dozen people on his side, while Xilin Fu and Xilin Fu were only five people, which could not constitute a threat at all.


    But when Xilin looked at him with those wolf eyes, he had the feeling that he was already Xilin Fu''s prey and swallowed it unconsciously.

 Chapter 264

    "I see, seventh master." Lian Cheng bowed and nodded to the others.


    Although there are only four people, it is really more than enough to deal with the people brought by Qi Chu.


    How bloody the scene was, Qiao Xuan could see it clearly in the car. She could hear the cries of those people clearly, even the sound of broken bones.


    From the beginning to the end, it was less than ten minutes. In the whole parking lot, only those people fell to the ground and howled.


    Qi Chu didn''t get beaten. He stood there and looked at his men rolling back and forth at his feet. His breathing was getting heavier and his face was getting whiter and whiter.


    It''s because Xilin told him to leave a breath for him, so he can still stand here now, otherwise he may only have half his life left.


    Of course, there are more than these people, but those with good skills are already here, but I didn''t expect to be scum by Xilin Fu''s people in such a short time.


    How could he not know the power of the Xilin family? He thought that finding the opportunity for Xilin Fu to come out alone could gain some advantages and at least threaten Xilin Fu to promise him some conditions. It turned out that he thought too simply.


    "Xilin Fu, didn''t we agree that you and my sister will get married and our two families will get married for mutual benefit and win-win results?" Qi Chu is still making the final fight.


    Xilin Fu threw away his cigarette butts and walked slowly to Qi Chu: "it''s you who privately announced that you want to marry. I didn''t agree."


    Qi Chu frowned: "didn''t you promise yourself, was it..." was Mai Han the woman lying?


    "What about my sister and Xiao Luo?" Qi Chu asked.


    "Don''t worry, she''s fine. I promise her that I''ll give her the prosperity as compensation for the sacrifice of your whole family." Xilin Fu has come to Qi Chu and took a stick from the people nearby.


    So close, Qi Chu saw the cold killing intention in Xilin''s compound eyes, and his heart trembled: "what did you say..."


    Before he finished, he saw that Xilin Fu had swung his stick and hit him hard on the face door. He had no time to dodge. He was hit on his head by Xilin Fu. Then he was black and fell heavily to the ground, and the blood immediately flowed out.


    But even though Qi Chu had lost his resistance, Xilin Fu didn''t stop. He still kept beating Qi Chu until he had no breath.


    Blood gushed from Qi Chu''s body, and his body soon became a pool of blood.


    Qiao Xuan tightly covered her mouth and didn''t let herself cry out, but the picture in front of her still shocked her too much.


    Xilin Fu killed Qi Chu alive in front of her and so many people!


    Although Qichu and Qiao Xuan don''t have a good impression on him, at least they are familiar people. Qiao Xuan inevitably feels uncomfortable watching him die.


    Not to mention the people brought by Qi Chu. They all look like dead ashes. They can''t care about the pain on their bodies. They don''t even dare to breathe. They''re afraid that they''ll die next.


    Xilin pointed at one of them with a stick and asked in a heavy voice, "how did you little Qi die?"


    "I... I don''t know... I didn''t see..." the man was pale, sweating and shaking like chaff.


    Xilin went down again. The man''s body twitched a few times and there was no movement.


    Some people have been scared to pee their pants, some are paralyzed on the ground and their legs are soft.


    Xilin Fu looked at them, threw the stick aside, took out a paper towel and wiped his hands: "Lian Cheng, tell them how these two people died."


    "Yes, seventh master." Lian Cheng looked up at these people, "you should have seen that you, little Qi, were killed by Sheng Liang, the third son of the Sheng family."


    "Yes, we all saw that Lord Qi was killed by Sheng Liang. Sheng Liang must still hate our Lord Qi''s kidnapping before, so he will retaliate!" someone immediately understood and shouted.


    "It''s Sheng Liang, we''ve all seen it!" the others shouted.


    Xilin Fu was very satisfied. His lips were hooked. He turned and came to the car. He opened the door and sat on it. When he saw Qiao Xuan staring at him fiercely, he smiled and said, "do you admire me too much?"


    "I have promised not to leave. Why should I do such a thing?" Qi Chu''s bad deeds will naturally be punished by the law. What right does Xilin Fu have to decide the life and death of others? What is human life in his eyes?


    Xilin Fu didn''t seem to hear her. He stretched out his long arm to hold her and said in a low voice, "you didn''t leave, but chose to help me. I''m very happy."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he had done everything since he found Qi Chu following behind. When he saw him press his mobile phone, Lian Cheng should have been notified. He deliberately took Qi Chu to the parking lot.


    What surprised her more was that his mobile phone must have been deliberately left in the car. He just wanted to see if she would call Sheng Liang. If she thought it was a good opportunity for Sheng Liang to pick her up, Sheng Liang would be in a very dangerous situation now.


    Sheng Liang warned her more than once that Xilin Fu was an extremely dangerous existence. Now she understands that what she saw before was only fur. Today''s scene is probably his daily life.


    After that, Qiao Xuan was in such a shock for a while, so she didn''t remember how Xilin Fu took her out of the parking lot. When she recovered, she was already in the fitting room of the mall, and the clerk was helping her change her clothes.


    "Miss Qiao, it''s OK." the clerk looked up and down, determined that there was nothing wrong, and then opened the door of the fitting room.


    Qiao Xuan went out and saw Xilin leaning on the sofa outside. Seeing her coming out, she immediately came over, grabbed her body and hugged her to the mirror: "you look better than when you were a child."


    Qiao Xuan noticed that she was wearing a red Strapless evening dress. She moved in her heart and asked, "where are you taking me?"


    Xilin Fu''s fingers gently crossed Qiao Xuan''s collarbone and drew an arc: "there is a charity night of fashion magazine tonight. I like a sapphire necklace, which is very suitable for you."


    Qiao Xuan subconsciously wants to avoid his hand, but his other hand is around her waist, so she can''t escape.


    "Remember the necklace sold at Shengliang charity auction? It should have belonged to you." Xilin Fu''s fingers stopped and his voice seemed to be cold. "I''ll take all he cherishes one by one."

 Chapter 265

    Qiao Xuan doesn''t know much about the grievances between Xilin Fu and Sheng Liang. Only Sheng Liang once told her that Xilin Fu was his instructor. He used Xilin Fu to break away from that organization.


    However, this one is probably enough for Xilin Fu to hate him. A proud man like Xilin Fu should never have been hit like this.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say much. She wouldn''t be foolish enough to annoy Xilin Fu at this time.


    It''s still early for the Charity Night in the evening. Xilin Fu first took Qiao Xuan to the nearby hotel. Many people who want to participate in the charity night like them take a break here. At the same time, they can also get more information.


    After Xilin Fu took Qiao Xuan into the room, he didn''t go out. He just sat on the sofa and turned on his laptop. He didn''t know what he was busy with.


    I don''t know if the medicine hasn''t dissipated yet. Qiao Xuan lies in bed and somehow sleeps over. When she wakes up, she hears that Xilin Fu is calling.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t mean to listen, but the room was so quiet and his voice couldn''t be ignored, so she heard it. Xilin Fu told his assistant to prepare the contract for the acquisition of Shengshi as soon as possible.


    Before that, Qiao Xuan thought that Xilin Fu was joking when he said he wanted to get the prosperity. He deliberately told her so as to coerce her to stay with him.


    Now she knew he was serious.


    However, the current prosperous age has long lost its previous glory, and many resources have been transferred to feilengcui by Shengliang. Therefore, even large families like Xinier can''t restore the vitality of the prosperous age without being familiar with the Chinese market model.


    This is probably the retreat that Sheng liang thought of before. After looking for someone to take the offer and take it back, it is almost a business that can make no loss.


    But it happened that Xilin Fu threw a kick at this time.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned. Xilin Fu didn''t know when he had sat next to her, hooked her chin, and his face was dark: "thinking of him again?"


    Qiao Xuan dodged his hand without a trace and looked aside: "No."


    "Even if you''re lying, I''m glad." Xilin smiled at the corner of his compound eye.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan wanted to ask him why he was so persistent in acquiring Shengshi, just to disappoint Shengliang. As for taking tens of billions to float in the water?


    But she knew she probably couldn''t ask the answer, so she stopped asking.


    There was a knock on the door outside, steady and powerful. Xilin Fu heard it, his face sank for a moment, and said to Qiao Xuan, "just stay here and don''t come out."


    Qiao Xuan watched Xilin Fu go outside. Then she heard the sound of the door being opened. Someone followed him into the room.


    "You didn''t get caught by the surveillance when you came here?" Xilin asked again.


    "No, I''m very careful. This is a narcissus basin from Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty. It was bought at the auction for money laundering. It was originally from Sheng Liang''s house. What do you want this for?" the haggard half a hundred men stared at Xilin Fu.


    Qiao Xuan inside heard the sound and immediately stood up from the bed. The person outside was Qi Mingyu!


    Xilin Fu took a hand from Qi Mingyu: "don''t worry about it."


    Qi Mingyu''s hand was empty. It took a long time to put it down. He slowly clenched it into a fist. His thick voice was cold: "as long as he dies, even if I fight my old life, I will never make him feel better!"


    Xilin Fu didn''t care at all. He said faintly, "I''ll give you a chance to avenge yourself. When I arrange it, I''ll let someone inform you."


    Qi Mingyu nodded mechanically and turned away.


    Xilin reminded him in the back: "Mayor Qi, be careful on the road."


    "OK." Qi Mingyu was still confused. Qi Chu''s death hit him too much.


    Xilin Fu closed the door and looked back to see that Qiao Xuan had come out of it. He stood there and looked at him with stunned and angry eyes. He smiled, put down the daffodil basin, walked over and hugged her: "didn''t you ask you not to come out?"


    "Are you afraid that I''ll see Qi Mingyu and know that you''re going to frame Sheng liang?" Qiao Xuan felt that her voice was drifting and seemed to disappear into the air at any time.


    Obviously he killed Qi Chu, but so many people proved that Sheng Liang did it, and even for reasons, those people thought it out. They are all Qi Chu people, and Qi Mingyu will believe that they are also natural.


    Xilin''s copy was holding Qiao Xuan. Hearing her words, he suddenly bit her neck. The bright red blood filled his mouth. He looked up, looked at Qiao Xuan''s eyebrows tightened due to sudden pain, and made a silent action to her: "Shh, don''t mention this name in front of me. This is your punishment. Remember this lesson next time."


    Qiao Xuan''s lips were white, but she just held back and didn''t make a sound.


    And now, more than ever, she knows the meaning of staying with Xilin Fu. Even if she can''t catch the evidence of his crime, she can at least find a way to inform Sheng liang when he is going to be bad for Sheng Liang.


    "I see." Qiao Xuan pretended to compromise.


    Xilin rubbed her hair again: "that''s good."


    After that, Xilin Fu helped her clean up the blood on her neck and rubbed the row of tooth marks with his thick fingers: "it''s good. Now you have my mark on you. You''re mine. No one wants to take it away."


    Qiao Xuan glanced at him, her body trembling involuntarily. In front of her, it seemed as if an 18-year-old boy appeared, and she always looked at her with such eager eyes.


    However, it was only for a moment that the boy''s face was blurred and could not see it clearly.


    Thinking of what Xilin Fu once said to her, does her lost memory of six years old really have something to do with him?


    Qiao Xuan trembled fiercely in her heart and didn''t dare to think about it at all.


    The memory her parents tried to bury must be a bad thing. When she came back from Sulin, she also wanted to stop looking for the truth of that year.


    However, what has happened, how can there be no trace? One day, it will appear in front of us again.


    Just as now, force her to remember in the way she least wants.


    If we don''t find the root cause, she and Xilin Fu will be entangled like this all the time.


    "You say, with what method, can make this trace never disappear?" Xilin Fu holds Qiao gorgeous''s face, a face of obsession.


    He has always been rational to Qiao Xuan. It''s not that he is a gentleman. He just doesn''t like to be disturbed when enjoying delicious food.


    So he can''t wait to see Sheng Liang die, so that he can no longer bear his desire for her.


    He couldn''t wait to swallow her to the bone.

 Chapter 266

    There was a layer of fog in Qiao Xuan''s eyes. He looked aside and said softly, "it''s almost time to go to the charity dinner."


    Knowing that she was changing the topic, Xilin Fu didn''t expose it. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He stood up and vacated his arms: "let''s go."


    Qiao Xuan''s body has no such soft feeling, but when she stood up, she still made a gesture to support the bed.


    She turned sideways. The mirror just reflected the two rows of neat tooth marks on her neck. She frowned and stretched out her hand to scatter her previously coiled hair.


    Maroon curls draped over her shoulders like seaweed, making her skin more and more white.


    It''s just enough to cover the mark on the neck.


    When Xilin Fu saw her movements, a touch of anger appeared on his face, but when he saw Qiao Xuan''s hair pouring down, he was immediately surprised and relaxed: "it''s an angel."


    Qiao Xuan avoided his sight and took his arm with a virtual movement: "you can go."


    How could Xilin Fu be satisfied with such a alienated action? He just pulled her to his side. Qiao Xuan was unprepared. Her body suddenly lost its center of gravity and her forehead hit his strong chest.


    "In the future, the distance between me and you is like this, or more intimate." Xilin bowed his head and said in Qiao Xuan''s ear, and the hot breath sprayed on Qiao Xuan''s skin.


    It was a warm breath, but Qiao Xuan couldn''t stop shivering. His proximity made her very uncomfortable, and even wanted to stay away from him immediately.


    But now, not yet.


    Qiao Xuan endured her disgust and went downstairs with Xilin Fu. When she got out of the door of the hotel, she saw several police cars and ambulances parked on the roadside.


    There are many people, do not know what they are looking at, almost blocking the road.


    Xilin Fu looked a little proud and whispered, "I will fulfill my promise and let you die properly."


    Qiao Xuan was surprised. He said who was dead?


    I just looked at her, but I couldn''t see anything.


    Xilin Fu''s footsteps suddenly stopped. Qiao Xuan returned from her absent-minded mind. She looked up and saw Sheng Liang not far away.


    Sheng Liang was still in a dark suit and black hair, especially his face was pale.


    Naturally, he also saw Qiao Xuan, with a little consternation in his dark eyes.


    Qiao Xuan subconsciously wants to take back Xilin Fu''s hand, but Xilin Fu hugs her waist and makes her unable to move.


    Xilin Fu deliberately showed it to Sheng Liang. She knew it, but thinking of her purpose of staying with Xilin Fu, she couldn''t explain anything to Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan stood there a little stiff, feeling very painful. She hoped Sheng Liang could understand her thoughts and don''t do anything. In that way, she might be able to relax.


    But how could Sheng Liang watch her recover with Xilin? Even if it was fake, he probably couldn''t stand it.


    Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang coming to them. For a moment, she didn''t know what to do.


    However, different from what she thought, Sheng Liang came to her, but he didn''t look at her more and passed by.


    Qiao Xuan was relieved. At the same time, she still felt a little lost.


    But she knew it was the best result.


    The charity night was held in the TV station''s studio. Qiao Xuan and Xilin went back in, found their seats and sat down. The others came one after another.


    Qiao Xuan saw that the person who was communicating and coordinating with the staff at the stage was Mai Han.


    It seems that the program she and Sheng Liang participated in last time was recorded in this studio. Mai Han is the host.


    This woman seems to be a fan of Shenghua. She still takes care of Shenghua until now.


    So at that time, Mai Han deliberately asked some sharp questions to make it difficult for her.


    Even later in Sulin, maihan pushed her to Xilin Fu.


    Mai Han inadvertently turned his head and saw that the woman around Xilin Fu was Qiao Xuan. There was no surprise on his face. Instead, he seemed very satisfied with the result.


    But when Xilin Fu looked at maihan, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.


    How dare this woman use him!


    Xilin Fu always knew that Mai Han helped the Qi family pull the strings and suggested that qiluo was the one he was looking for. In fact, he knew he wouldn''t trust her, so he deliberately played a trick and asked him to find Qiao Xuan along qiluo''s test sheet.


    Qiao Xuan is her ultimate goal.


    Although Xilin Fu was happy with the result, he didn''t like to be used by others.


    Compared with other excitement, Qiao Xuan seemed lack of interest. However, when she inadvertently looked ahead, her eyes suddenly stopped.


    In a seat in front of her on the left, Sheng Liang sat there quietly, forming a unique scenery, as if the noise of the world had nothing to do with him.


    Just looking at his side face like this, Qiao Xuan unconsciously tightened her heart.


    Sheng Liang


    At the beginning of the party, it was hosted by Mai Han. She said a long opening speech. Her humorous language attracted constant laughter from the people present.


    Those who attended the party were celebrities from all walks of life in sangcheng. Naturally, there were many popular stars. They went up to perform the program and introduced their films by the way.


    Qiao Xuan has no interest in these. All her attention is on Sheng Liang.


    The hand on her leg was suddenly held and worked harder and harder. She frowned with pain and turned her head to look at Shang Xilin''s cold eyes.


    "Just care about him," Xilin Fu''s voice was hoarse and cold, and his eyes were full of anger, but he sneered, "but he doesn''t seem to care about you very much."


    Qiao Xuan looked along his line of sight and saw Sheng Liangzheng talking with the female star next to him.


    Qiao Xuan collected her eyes and couldn''t see any expression on her face.


    "It''s only a few days since we left, and we''ll have a new love. The man you like is just like this." Xilin said sarcastically, his chin almost sticking to Qiao Xuan''s face. "What else can you stick to for him?"


    His breath sprayed on Qiao Xuan''s skin. Qiao Xuan grabbed her fingers and immediately stood up: "I''ll go to the bathroom."


    Xilin Fu leaned back and narrowed his eyes: "do you want me to accompany you?"


    "No need." when Qiao Xuan said, she had turned and walked out.


    be defeated and flee.


    Xilin Fu looked at Joe''s gorgeous look, and these four words appeared in his mind.


    Although Qiao Xuan covered up well, she still wavered because of his words.


    Mingming is very sad, but he still has to pretend that nothing has happened in front of him.


    That''s good. He just likes to see her stubborn.


    Out of the studio, Qiao Xuan took a long breath and walked slowly in the corridor, with a smile on her lips.

 Chapter 267

    She can now be sure that Sheng Liang is not angry with her and doesn''t ignore her.


    He just didn''t want to embarrass her, so he tried his best to cooperate with her.


    Qiao Xuan affirmed this when she saw that the actress with him was Zhao Xiaowei.


    Qiao Xuan washed her face and simply made up in front of the mirror. She didn''t want Sheng Liang to see her unbearable appearance. That would only make him more worried.


    Suddenly there was a slap behind her, like the sound of the bathroom door being locked. She turned around and saw that Mai Han was leaning against the door and looking at her. She frowned: "what are you doing?"


    Mai Han leaned with his hands around his chest, with a smile on his lips, and the disdain in his eyes was so obvious: "before, he was still in love with Sheng Liang. He got married so soon."


    "What does it have to do with you!" Qiao Xuan''s voice was slightly cold. She went straight to open the door.


    Mai Han pressed Qiao Xuan''s wrist and his eyes were full of hate: "don''t think I don''t know. You do this to help Sheng Liang, but I tell you, I will never let you achieve your wish. I will let Sheng Liang have nothing and let you taste the pain Sheng Hua and I have suffered!"


    Put aside the grudges between them, Mai Han is really an infatuated woman. Even if Sheng Hua becomes what she is now, she still doesn''t give up.


    But she would never allow that to happen.


    "I''m different from you," said Qiao Xuan with a smile on her originally condensed face. "I won''t wait until things can''t be recovered, and then retaliate against others. Before the results you want to see appear, I''ll work hard and strive for it, and I won''t let Sheng Hua lose the last person who took care of him."


    Mai Han''s eyebrows jumped fiercely. When she was stunned, Qiao Xuan had waved her hand and opened the door.


    Mai Han was stunned in place and didn''t return to her mind for a long time. She thought she had taken the lead, but Qiao Xuan''s words disrupted her thinking.


    She admitted that Qiao Xuan poked her secret wound. She always hated herself. Why didn''t she try to do anything before Shenghua''s accident.


    Even if she can really retaliate against Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan as she wishes, what can Yu Shenghua change?


    Qiao Xuan came out of the bathroom and was about to return to the studio when a hand suddenly stretched out in a nearby room and pulled her in.


    She almost cried out, but soon, she saw that the person who pulled her was Zhao Xiaowei, so she stopped her voice.


    Zhao Xiaowei closed the door and asked Qiao Xuan with a smile, "didn''t you scare you just now?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head and felt some uncontrollable palpitations in her heart, because she knew that Sheng Liang must have let Zhao Xiaowei come.


    "Did Xilin Fu bully you?" Zhao Xiaowei asked very carefully. Seeing Qiao Xuan looking at her, he immediately explained, "Liang Shao asked me not to ask anything. Just look at you, but I can''t help it."


    Sheng Liang, he actually said so. Qiao Xuan understood that Sheng Liang was respecting her ideas, but he couldn''t really let her go, so he specially asked Zhao Xiaowei to see her.


    "How''s Sheng liang? Are things in the company very busy?" because Xilin Fu''s intervention, Shengshi must have added a lot of pressure to him.


    "It''s very busy, but you don''t have to worry too much. Sheng Qian is doing things very seriously now." Zhao Xiaowei smiled happily on her face, but there was still a helpless in her eyes.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t ask much. She knew that even if Sheng Qian went to work safely, I''m afraid he won''t change his attitude towards Zhao Xiaowei for a while.


    "That''s good." Qiao Xuan only said faintly.


    Qiao Xuan went out and looked up to see Xilin Fu standing not far away looking at her. She quickly adjusted her mood and walked towards him.


    Originally, because she saw Sheng Liang, she almost felt that she couldn''t stick to it, but Zhao Xiaowei''s appearance was like giving her a shot of cardiotonic, and Mai Han strengthened her faith. She couldn''t watch Sheng Liang go to the same level as Sheng Hua, so she had to cheer up.


    "Why so long." Xilin took Qiao Xuan''s shoulder and looked in the direction of the bathroom as he walked aside.


    "Nothing." Qiao Xuan was very calm, because she knew that Sheng Liang would be behind her anyway.


    The two returned to the studio and were reading the list of donated hope primary schools on the stage. Qiao Xuan heard that Xilin Fu donated 14 hope primary schools at one time.


    Sheng Liang''s name is at the end, only two.


    However, Qiao Xuan knows that Sheng Liang just doesn''t want to be in the limelight. In the past, feileng jade and jade now have their own charitable foundation. People in need just need to ask the foundation for help. After the investigation is true, the money will soon go to the people who ask for help, with many intermediate links missing, mainly to prevent someone from cheating.


    Therefore, even if Xilin reuses this way to express her sense of superiority, Qiao Xuan doesn''t think so.


    At the auction fundraising stage, many people donated their own items and jewelry and sold them at high prices.


    Xilin Fu hardly looked at the things in front. He was just waiting for the sapphire necklace. When someone just shouted out the price of 30 million, he directly called 100 million.


    In fact, the necklace was not worth much, even 30 million was too much, so at the auction at that time, Sheng Liang added a narcissus basin.


    But Xilin Fu paid a hundred million.


    But Qiao Xuan still didn''t look at him. Her eyes quickly looked at Sheng Liang. From her position, she could just see his side face.


    So she clearly saw that when Xilin Fu called out the price, Sheng Liang''s lips slightly hooked, as if the result was already in his expectation.


    At the end of the party, Xilin Fu got the sapphire necklace and put it on Qiao Xuan''s white and slender neck.


    Seeing the look on Qiao Xuan''s face, Xilin''s eyes were slightly cold, and her fingers grabbed her chin: "you don''t seem very happy."


    "No, it''s just that this gift is too valuable." she doesn''t have the habit of receiving gifts from others. Except Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang is not someone else, but the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with in her heart.


    Xilin took her shoulder and whispered, "what''s this? If you marry me, half of the Xilin family is yours."


    Perhaps for others, this is a great temptation, but what Qiao Xuan wants has never been these.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything. Xilin Fu thought she was hesitating, smiled and said, "don''t hurry to reply to me. I have plenty of time to wait."


    Although he said so, Qiao Xuan didn''t think she had much time. Xilin Fu was moody and didn''t know when he would turn over. She''d better find his flaw early and get out as soon as possible.

 Chapter 268

    Out of the TV station, the night outside is very dark, and there are bright lights in front of the TV station.


    As soon as they came down the steps, they saw Sheng Liang also on the roadside, talking to a middle-aged woman in a dress.


    Qiao Xuan recognized that the lady was the one who had just donated the sapphire necklace, that is, she had bought the necklace from Sheng Liang before.


    Now looking at them standing together, Qiao Xuan understood in an instant that Sheng Liang was probably sure that Xilin would do so, so she specially asked the lady to come with a necklace.


    Just with a cheap necklace, Xilin Fu donated 100 million.


    Xilin Fu naturally understood when he saw this scene, and his face condensed in an instant.


    Watching the lady get into the car, Sheng Liang turned his head and saw Qiao Xuan. His eyes stopped for a moment.


    When Sheng Liang was ready to come and say hello to them, two uniformed policemen came by and stopped him: "Sheng Liang, right? Now I suspect you are related to two homicides. Please go back with us to assist in the investigation."


    "What homicide" Sheng Liang frowned.


    "Four hours ago, Qi Chu was killed in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall, and the witness proved that it was your hand," said a policeman, pointing to the place where the accident happened just now, "It was here two hours ago. Qi Mingyu, the former mayor, was killed by a car. His driver said that he came here to see you, and when he came, he had an antique flower pot in his hand. It''s gone now. Can you let us check your car first?"


    Compared with Sheng Liang''s calm, Qiao Xuan turned up waves in the bottom of her heart. Qi Mingyu died. He went to Xilin Fu''s room not long before Mingming.


    And the Narcissus basin, which should be in Xilin Fu''s hand now.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and looked at Xilin''s smile. His eyes fell on Sheng Liang. In his eyebrows and eyes, they were all provocations.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly understood that Xilin Fu really planned to force Sheng Liang into a desperate situation.


    Since he let Qi Mingyu appear in the hotel, he has arranged this dead end for Qi Mingyu. She still remembers that when Qi Mingyu entered the door, his first sentence was whether Qi Mingyu was monitored and photographed.


    If Qiao Xuan guessed right, Sheng Liang should have been in the hotel before, and Xilin made up some reasons to let Qi Mingyu stay outside Sheng Liang''s room. If the police find the Narcissus basin in Sheng Liang''s room or car, Sheng Liang will be more guilty of killing people, and Sheng Liang will be unable to argue.


    Sheng Liang looked here, especially at Qiao Xuan deeply. Without any excuse, he left with the two policemen.


    I don''t know if it''s Qiao Xuan''s illusion. She seemed to see Sheng Liang smiling at her just now. In this situation, there was no doubt and anger in his eyes, and he even gave her a reassuring smile.


    Qiao Xuan calmed down in an instant.


    Yes, now she needs to be calm and impulsively run to help Sheng Liang explain. It''s no use. She needs evidence to prove Sheng Liang''s innocence.


    She doesn''t believe it. Xilin Fu can really cover up the sky!


    "What are you thinking?" Xilin Fu tightened his hand at Qiao Xuan''s waist and looked down at her. "Do you want to help him testify that I killed him?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "even if I said it, no one will believe it. Besides, compared with him, I care more about my family."


    Fortunately, Xilin Fu threatened Qiao Nan before, so she wouldn''t seem so deliberate.


    Xilin Fu didn''t say anything. Now he pushed Sheng Liang into the police station. He can forge a lot of evidence. Sheng Liang can''t think of it in his life.


    Xilin Fu began to get excited at the bottom of his heart, and his face naturally showed a touch of pride. He just hugged Qiao Xuan''s hand, but he didn''t relax at all.


    Xilin Fu didn''t take Qiao Xuan home directly, but took her to a street far away from here for a snack. Qiao Xuan didn''t expect that Xilin Fu would eat a roadside stall.


    However, this shop is very famous in sangcheng and its business is really good. You can smell the smell of porridge from a distance.


    Two pieces of raw and rolled crucian carp porridge. After the porridge is served on the table, put the fish fillets in and scald the fish fillets with the heat of the porridge, so the porridge tastes very fresh.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Xilin Fu and skillfully helped her join. The fish fillets slowly changed from crystal clear to snow-white, and the fish porridge blended spoonful by spoonful.


    "It''s strange why I came to such a place. In fact, I have been eating different fish in different places over the years, just to help you find the most delicious." Xilin Fu pushed the exquisite bowl in front of her and looked at her gently. "You liked to eat fish most when you were a child. You always don''t talk. Only when I catch fish for you to eat, can I say, it''s delicious."


    What he said, Qiao Xuan was really not impressed. She smiled and said, "it turned out that I was so easy to be satisfied at that time."


    Xilin Fu looked at her and smiled. His eyes were burning: "you finally smiled at me."


    After he recognized her, Qiao Xuan never gave him a good face again, not even perfunctory.


    The smile on Qiao Xuan''s face faintly disappeared. Don''t open her eyes. Even if she pretended, she didn''t seem to be able to please.


    Xilin Fu looked at her face. The gentleness in his eyes slowly disappeared and returned to his original coldness.


    "Do you want to see Sheng liang?" Xilin Fu suddenly said, his voice still without ups and downs.


    Qiao Xuan turned to look at him. She didn''t know whether he was trying or what. During the day, she just witnessed Qiao Nan''s almost dangerous scene. Now, does she want to show off in front of Sheng liang?


    "Where should he be now, detention center or detention center?" Qiao Xuan asked quietly, but her heart was already churning.


    No matter where it is, Qiao Xuan can''t imagine. She seems to be pulled by something in her heart. It hurts so much that she can''t breathe.


    But she still didn''t show it, just closed her fingers secretly.


    "I can give you a choice now. Where do you want him to be?" Xilin''s hoarse voice was like a mysterious spell in the quiet night.


    What does she want? She hoped that neither of these two places would be chosen. That was not the place where the cool should stay.


    "Can I not choose? I just want to see him." now everything seems to be under Xilin Fu''s control. She wants to break this situation and can''t always be led by him.


    Xilin Fu raised his eyebrow and turned to look at Qiao Xuan: "don''t you want to save him?"


    "That''s not something I can control. What''s the meaning of whether I want to or not." she believes that the Qing is self-cleaning. For what Sheng Liang hasn''t done, the law will always return him to innocence.


    Xilin Fu''s face was dark and inexplicable, and Qiao Xuan''s answer was obviously not what he expected.

 Chapter 269

    Sheng Liang was caught on suspicion of murder. In the process of waiting for investigation, he was naturally locked up in the detention center. Xilin didn''t know what relationship he had passed, so he smoothly let Qiao Xuan in.


    Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang through the small window. He was still wearing his black shirt. His hair was still soft at ordinary times, but it was obvious that it had been carefully sorted out when he came out. At that moment, Qiao Xuan''s heart was extremely sour.


    "What are you doing in such a place so late?" Sheng Liang frowned at her, but even scolded with a spoiled tone.


    Qiao Xuan''s eyes immediately turned red. Tears rolled in her eyes, but she still didn''t fall.


    "Are you all right?" Qiao Xuan knew that she asked a lot of useless nonsense. He was not good, very bad. You can see from his face, but she couldn''t think of anything else to ask.


    "I''m fine. I just cooperate with their investigation and should go out soon." Sheng Liang didn''t mention seeing her and Xilin together outside the TV station, didn''t ask her how she came in, and didn''t pretend to misunderstand and and drive her away. They don''t need to guess and can understand what each other is thinking, He just didn''t want Qiao Xuan to make a deal with Xilin, so he said it very easily.


    "Well." Qiao Xuan nodded and gently held his hand. He felt a little cold. His hands gently rubbed him. "It''s cold at night. You must cover the quilt, or you''ll get sick."


    "I know." Sheng Liang looked at her with warmth in his eyebrows, but also vaguely mixed with some worries, "gorgeous son..."


    Feeling Sheng Liang''s pause, Qiao Xuan looked up at him: "hmm? What do you want to say?"


    "Nothing, you don''t have to worry about me. It''s late. You go back quickly." originally, he wanted to tell Qiao Xuan to let her leave Xilin Fu, but Sheng liang thought of what she said. He always didn''t respect her opinions and always put himself in a higher position than her. He didn''t say it at last.


    Besides, with Roger helping her, she should be fine.


    Qiao Xuan wants to stay with him for a while, but she knows that Sheng Liang has his pride. He certainly doesn''t want to be reluctant to part with her here.


    He stood up, turned and left without looking back. They were not emotional people and didn''t want to hurt anyone''s self-esteem.


    Xilin Fu was waiting for Qiao Xuan outside. He watched her come out and slowly walked towards himself. He asked, "see someone, are you satisfied?"


    Qiaoxuan didn''t answer, positive or negative is probably not Xilin''s answer. She only asked softly, "can you go? I''m tired and want to go back to bed early."


    Her reaction obviously made Xilin Fu very dissatisfied. Looking at her walking towards the street, he said leisurely behind him: "do you know who he is locked up with, a prisoner with flu."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart suddenly sank, flu?


    Although influenza will not kill immediately, the mortality rate is very high. If you stay here overnight and cause high fever, it is really hard to say what will happen tomorrow.


    Xilinfu did it on purpose!


    "Do you want me to beg you, please let him go?" Qiao Xuan turned back and looked at Xilin Fu for a moment.


    When she asked, Xilin Fu didn''t know how to answer. Especially, when she asked, she still had a sarcastic smile on her face.


    "You still don''t know me very well. For me, no feelings can override self-esteem, and Sheng Liang is no exception." he wanted to threaten her with Sheng Liang, which is impossible. She just wanted Xilin Fu to know this.


    Watching her get on the bus by herself, Xilin Fu still stood in place. After a moment of stunned, a smile floated on his lips.


    He just likes her elusive appearance.


    Returning to Xilin Fu''s villa, Qiao Xuan went back to her room without consulting Xilin Fu.


    Xilin Fu just stood there with his hands in his pockets and didn''t say anything.


    "Seventh master." Cheng rang, who was in charge of taking care of qiluo, came over and bowed down and shouted.


    "Did she know about Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu?" Xilin Fu turned and sat down beside the sofa and lit a cigarette.


    "I''ve told her that Sheng Liang did it, but," Cheng rangton said again, "she doesn''t seem to respond."


    Xilin sneered: "this is the best response."


    Cheng rang obviously didn''t understand what he meant. Xilin Fu didn''t explain. He just said, "watch her. It''s not time for her to come in handy."


    "Yes, seventh master." Cheng rang nodded and went to the basement again.


    Qiao Xuan heard their conversation clearly upstairs. She also saw the direction Cheng rang left.


    It seems that Xilin Fu has imprisoned another person at home, and he is related to Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan just doesn''t know that this person is ziluo.


    She didn''t know that Zillo''s situation was much harder than her.


    In the basement.


    Ziluo''s hands and legs were tied to a special bed with a rope. He didn''t have any clothes on his body.


    Whip marks are clearly visible on the white and smooth skin.


    Her eyes were open, but there was no look.


    If it weren''t for the slight fluctuation of her chest, she would almost think she was dead.


    Previously, she lied to Sheng Liang that she was imprisoned when she disappeared. Unexpectedly, the retribution came true so soon.


    She and Sheng Liang used to be so close, but now she is a sworn enemy.


    That''s ironic.


    Cheng rang glanced at her and made sure she was still alive. He sat down to smoke and glanced at her from time to time.


    But just to see if she would escape or die, there was no other idea.


    Ziluo''s head turned slightly, and she could just see Cheng rang''s action. She whispered, "can you give me a cigarette?"


    Cheng stopped his fingers and looked at her. He seemed to hesitate. Then he walked slowly over and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to her.


    Although ziluo''s hands were tied, the rope was very long, but she couldn''t escape, and her normal activities were unrestricted.


    Instead of picking up the cigarette from Cheng rang, she put her hand around his neck, took the cigarette from Cheng rang''s hand with the other hand, took a sip, and sprayed the cigarette ring on Cheng rang''s face.


    Her behavior is clearly teasing. Now, she is naked. Although her figure is not hot and sexy, it is also concave and convex. It is absolutely attractive to men.


    Clinging to such a soft body, Cheng let him feel that a part of his body is slowly changing, but he still didn''t dare to face qiluo, but whispered, "Miss Luo, don''t do this. He was found by the seventh master..."


    Before Cheng rang finished, ziluo''s lips kissed his mouth and blocked the words behind him.


    Cheng rang''s body froze. He spread his arms and didn''t dare to touch her: "Miss Xiao Luo..."

 Chapter 270

    Knowing what Cheng rang was worried about, ziluo unbuttoned his shirt and breathed in his ear like LAN: "no one will know if you don''t tell me."


    Even if no one knows, this is also a betrayal of Xilin Fu''s order. Cheng rang will never hesitate before.


    But now, the fire of his whole body was lifted up by ziluo, and he felt like he was about to burn.


    Ziluo continued to do his best on him and used everything Xilin Fu forced her to learn these days.


    Cheng let his eyebrows lock, his fists clenched tightly, as if he were struggling in the end.


    But the body finally compromised before the thought. When he recovered, he had pressed ziluo under his body.


    He looked at ziluo with blurred eyes. His chest fluctuated violently. His fingers supported the bed and wanted to separate from her, but ziluo held his waist tightly and kissed his soft lips from his Adam''s apple.


    Cheng rang''s head is congested. He can''t care about anything. He covers qiluo''s mouth with one hand and has faded his pants with the other


    Cheng rang fled in a hurry. After he woke up, he didn''t dare to run away for a moment.


    Ziluo lay on her back in bed with traces of love everywhere. She was as lifeless as a doll, but suddenly a strange smile appeared on her lips.


    She raised her hand and looked at the folding knife in her hand. It was stolen from Cheng rang just now.


    She betrayed herself for such a thing.


    She has really become very cheap.


    Ziluo lay on the bed for a while, then slowly sat up, cut the rope with a knife, and slowly got out of bed.


    Her clothes had long been thrown away, and there was nothing else here except a bed and a pile of tools.


    She looked down and saw a shirt thrown on the ground. It was Cheng rang''s. she picked it up and put it on herself.


    The light was shaking miserably. She couldn''t tell the day outside, but she just saw Cheng rang''s watch and knew it was almost 4 a.m.


    Ziluo walked up the steps with bare feet, taking extra care every step.


    But when she climbed to the middle, she was stunned when she heard the sound of opening the door.


    If Cheng makes her afraid, in case it''s Xilin fu


    She clenched her fingers and wanted to go back. It must be too late. She quickly thought about what to say in her heart.


    In qiluo''s uneasy mood, the door was pushed open and someone came in.


    The footsteps are very light, and the shadow reflected by the door is very thin. It seems that it is a woman.


    When he saw that the person who came in was Qiao Xuan, ziluo couldn''t help but be stunned, and then he understood.


    It turns out that the person Xilin Fu is looking for is Qiao Xuan.


    The world is really unfair. Qiao Xuan not only took away her favorite man, but also let her suffer for her.


    Ziluo''s hatred was about to break through his chest. He wanted to rush over and beat Qiao gorgeous.


    But she held back. At the moment Qiao Xuan saw her, she secretly cut a hole in her arm with a folding knife, and the blood immediately flowed down her elbow.


    Qiao Xuan was also surprised to see ziluo. She didn''t expect that it was her who was returned here by Xilin!


    "Qiluo..." Qiao Xuan looked at qiluo in shock. Even if she saw her body falling down like a leaf, Qiao Xuan almost instinctively hurried to help her, "Hey, what''s the matter with you?"


    "Pain..." Qi Luo frowned and his voice was weak.


    Qiao Xuan looked down and saw that her arm was hurt, and she was touching her wound. She immediately moved her hand to a position: "I''m sorry."


    Qiluo shook his head, suddenly looked at Qiao Xuan with frightened eyes, held her hand tightly and said, "please help me out. I''ve been bad before. I apologize to you. Please help me. If I stay here again, I''ll die..."


    Qiao Xuan saw that when ziluo slid down, she saw that she was only wearing a man''s shirt, and her body was full of blue and purple. She knew what had happened at a glance.


    Xilin Fu unexpectedly


    Qiao Xuan frowned, but still said with some regret, "I''m sorry, I may not be able to help you. I can''t get out myself."


    At least for now, she can''t leave here. She has something to do.


    "You must have a way, please, help me!" ziluo''s tears fell down and looked so pitiful.


    Qiao Xuan was a little shaken. If she changed to other women and thought about what she had done before, she might be cruel, but ziluo, she was the woman Sheng Liang once loved. She didn''t know what to do.


    Moreover, now that Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu are dead, Qi Luo has suddenly changed from a beloved daughter to someone no one can rely on.


    If Sheng Liang knew that she would die, he would blame her.


    "I still have something to do now. If you wait for me for two days, I will get you out." Qiao Xuan changed her mouth.


    "But maybe today, I will be tortured to death," ziluo looked at Qiao Xuan with innocent eyes and gently shook her hand. "Help me, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan was extremely contradictory. She had always been a rational person. In this case, she knew she shouldn''t shake, but ziluo''s poor appearance made her a little unbearable.


    "I......" Qiao Xuan still hesitated, thinking about the consequences of doing so.


    "What are you doing here?"


    A low, dull voice suddenly came from behind, and Qiao Xuan''s back suddenly froze.


    Ziluose shrunk and released Qiao Xuan''s hand. His eyes to Xilin Fu were full of fear and panic.


    Xilin Fu looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous smell.


    This woman is really on the road.


    Xilin Fu ignored her, just stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Xuan up: "this is not where you should come. Go out with me."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t struggle at all, but when she stood up, her eyes suddenly swept to the tools below, and her mind was buzzing like a white light suddenly flashed in front of her. After that, she didn''t know anything.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up again, the sun outside was already very good. It came in from the window and sprinkled on the bed she was lying on.


    Thinking of what she saw before fainting, she closed her fingers. Unexpectedly, it was that pile of things that awakened her dusty memory.


    What she had been reluctant to think about when she was six years old, now she remembered everything.


    After so many years, Xilin Fu was no longer the green and astringent young man at that time, but his evil taste was the same as that time, or even more abnormal.


    When someone pushed the door in, Qiao Xuan immediately closed her eyes and pretended not to wake up.


    But the man near the bed, listening to the footsteps, didn''t seem to be Xilin Fu.

 Chapter 271

    But if it wasn''t Xilin Fu, who would it be? Xilin Fu never allowed other men to enter her room, even Chengdu, which he trusted most.


    Qiao Xuan was guessing. She felt that the man had come to the bed, and her palms were sweating.


    "Miss Qiao?" the man whispered, as if afraid of being heard.


    When Qiao Xuan heard the sound, she suddenly opened her eyes and immediately sat up. When she saw that the man standing in front of her was really Roger, her voice was just about to break through her throat and asked in a low voice, "how did you come here?"


    If Xilin Fu finds out, it will be troublesome. Qiao Nan is a good example, and Xilin Fu may be merciful to her face.


    Roger, I really don''t know what will happen.


    Roger looked out warily and said to Qiao Xuan, "Miss Qiao, I know about Liang Shao''s arrest. I''ll try to help him. You''d better leave here quickly."


    Qiao Xuan immediately shook her head: "I''m closer to Xilin Fu than you. I have more opportunities than you. You shouldn''t stay here. Sheng Liang needs you more."


    Qiao Xuan knows that Sheng Liang arranged Roger to protect her, but now, it is clear that Sheng Liang''s situation is worse. They are not around him. What should he do alone.


    Roger has been following Sheng Liang. Naturally, he knows something about Qiao Xuan''s temperament. What she has decided is not so easy to change.


    Roger pondered for a moment, knew that he could not stay here for a long time, and took the time to say: "I saw a man coming to Xilin Fu today, but Lian Cheng called him aside. I thought there might be something wrong, so I went to listen. I knew that the man was a reporter. He said he secretly photographed the evidence of Xilin Fu''s arms smuggling and wanted to blackmail Xilin Fu''s money. Lian Cheng had killed the man, but it seemed that he had sent a video email to Xilin before he came It''s just that Xilin hasn''t seen it yet. "


    If there is such evidence, it must be beneficial to them. The question is whether xilinfu has been deleted.


    However, Qiao Xuan didn''t tell Roger her worries. Anyway, it was at least an opportunity.


    "I know. I''ll find a way to get that video." maybe only she can do it.


    Roger nodded and heard the sound of someone going upstairs outside. He hurriedly said, "OK, I''ll help you."


    Seeing him go out, Qiao Xuan hesitated and stopped him: "ziluo is locked in the basement below. If you have a chance, you can save her out."


    Roger actually knew about it, but he didn''t want to take care of it.


    It''s not that he doesn''t have compassion, but that ziluo is a thing of the past for Sheng Liang. He doesn''t want ziluo to destroy the relationship between Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan.


    But time was pressing. He didn''t care to say much. He just nodded and said, "I see."


    That is, just after Roger left, Xilin Fu''s maid pushed the door in and said to Qiao Xuan, "the seventh Master said that if Miss Qiao wakes up, please go down to lunch."


    Qiao Xuan nodded. Seaweed like hair poured down her shoulders. She was wearing loose pajamas. The sun was playing on her. It showed a lazy smell, but it was still thrilling.


    Qiao Xuan changed her clothes and went downstairs. She went into the restaurant and saw Xilin Fu sitting at the table, holding her chin in her hands, as if waiting for her. She slowly sat down in the seat next to him.


    The restaurant is very large and the table is very long, so even the adjacent seats are separated by some distance.


    The Swarovski crystal lamp above is retro and prosperous. Xilin Fu is wearing a suit, spread a meal cloth and holds a knife and fork in his hand. Such a picture always gives Qiao Xuan a feeling of old British aristocracy.


    They didn''t speak. They just silently bowed their heads for dinner. Occasionally, Qiao Xuan glanced at Xilin''s mobile phone in the corner of the table with the rest of her eyes.


    Today''s Steak seems a little fishy. Just a little, she feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach.


    She tried her best to suppress the discomfort, so she didn''t notice. Xilin Fu had been paying attention to her.


    Time passed quietly. Xilin wiped his mouth with a tablecloth, looked at Qiao Xuan and asked, "I''m going to the company later. Do you want to go with me?"


    She hasn''t been to Xilin''s company. She worked there before.


    And she knows that maybe only by following him can she have a chance to see the email on his mobile phone.


    However, she couldn''t make the idea too obvious. She shook her head and said, "I still won''t go. Your female secretary, I don''t want to have friction with her."


    Xilin Fu''s body tilted towards Qiao Xuan and smiled vaguely: "which female secretary did you say? I''ve changed it long ago. Now I''m a male secretary."


    Qiao Xuan was slightly surprised. Was it because she had a holiday relationship with the female secretary before?


    Looking at what Qiao Xuan is saying, Xilin Fu stands up, puts away his mobile phone and reaches out to Qiao Xuan: "let''s go."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t refuse again, but said, "I''ll go to the bathroom first."


    When she came out of the bathroom, she took his car to the company, but all the way, she was thinking about how to look at his mobile phone.


    "What are you thinking?" she was absent-minded. How could she escape Xilin Fu''s eyes? He stretched out his hand and pulled her chin to face him.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "I haven''t been to work for a long time. I don''t know if I will feel that environment is very strange."


    She has been at home all this time and can''t remember what it feels like.


    So she''s not lying to him.


    Xilin Fu let go of his hand, looked outside and said, "let''s go to the hospital before we go to the company."


    hospital?


    Qiao Xuan was surprised. There was a kind of guess in her heart: "what do you do in the hospital?"


    Xilin Fu didn''t answer. He just looked at her, then turned his head and looked at the road. There was a strange look on his face.


    Qiao Xuan''s hand holding the bag felt strong, and her eyebrows frowned tightly.


    Did Xilin Fu find out that he was probably outside when she went to the bathroom.


    Under the cover of her bag, Qiao Xuan secretly stroked her lower abdomen. The tumultuous feeling in her stomach before dinner didn''t make her realize anything, but then she retched in the bathroom, which made her suddenly think that she might be pregnant.


    There was a burst of ecstasy in her heart at that time. She had lost a child, and she always felt very sorry.


    Now that she is suddenly pregnant, she is naturally very happy.


    But soon she also thought that the child seemed to come at a bad time.


    Just like now, if Xilin Fu knew she was pregnant and Sheng Liang''s child, who knows what he would do.

 Chapter 272

    "Don''t you remember when you fainted in the basement? Always check your body. Your body is the most important." Xilin Fu held her hand quietly.


    Qiao Xuan was more nervous. She was almost sure that Xilin Fu was doubting.


    It must be too late to escape at this time. What should she do to avoid this disaster?


    While Qiao Xuan was thinking, Xilin Fu had driven her car into the underground parking lot of the hospital, helped her down from the car, and held her waist with one hand deliberately.


    Qiao Xuan''s body was stiff, and Xilin Fu was holding her forward.


    "What are you afraid of? Your face is so pale?" after entering the elevator, Xilin Fu circled her in the corner, grabbed her chin with his fingers, and wiped a cruel color in his eyes.


    "I don''t like this place." Qiao Xuan didn''t start. In Xilin''s aggressive eyes, her lip color began to be transparent.


    However, she still dared not confront him. If she asked him if he already knew, it would be tantamount to admitting.


    At least until now, they can''t confirm it.


    Or xilinfu wouldn''t have brought her to the hospital.


    Qiao Xuan is still taking chances. Hope is just her illusion that she is not pregnant.


    Or, what Xilin Fu thinks with her is not the same thing.


    Without registration or going to the clinic, Xilin Fu took Qiao Xuan directly to the B-ultrasound room.


    By now, Qiao Xuan has nothing to doubt. Xilin Fu knows it.


    He held her hand tightly and dragged her in. Qiao Xuan couldn''t even struggle.


    "Check her to see if she is pregnant." Xilin said to the doctor with a cold face.


    "Give me the list and my family can go out." the doctor didn''t look at Xilin Fu and knocked his finger on the table.


    Xilin''s eyes became more and more condensed: "I''ll give you five minutes. Just say one more word and get out of here."


    The doctor looked at him and probably saw that Xilin was no longer easy to provoke. He immediately stood up and said to Qiao Xuan, "lie down."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t move, but her body retreated, but behind her was Xilin Fu. She couldn''t retreat at all.


    "Be obedient, darling, don''t make me angry," Xilin whispered in her ear, clasping the back of her head. "Don''t forget, Sheng Liang''s life is still in my hand, and the man who went into your room at noon. If you mess around, they will all die."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart beat hard. Xilin knew everything. He knew Roger was in his home, but he didn''t expose it. Maybe he was waiting for such a moment and used him as a tool to threaten her.


    Maybe the evidence about video mail is actually that he deliberately tried to test Roger. All their actions are under his control.


    The room was very quiet, so even if xilinfu''s voice was not loud, the doctor heard it. He was so scared that his legs were soft and couldn''t stand steadily holding the chair.


    A female doctor with a mask who had been looking at the case came over and said to the B-ultrasound teacher, "I''ll come."


    The B-ultrasound teacher looked at the female doctor with some surprise in his eyes, but he went out immediately.


    The female doctor looked at Qiao Xuan, raised her chin and motioned her to lie down on the bed.


    Qiao Xuan tightened and let go of her fingers, hesitated and walked slowly to lie down.


    Ignoring Xilin Fu, the female doctor pulled Qiao Xuan''s pants down a little, squeezed some ultrasound couplants on Qiao Xuan''s lower abdomen, and then turned back and forth with a Doppler ultrasound instrument.


    Qiao Xuan was almost nervous. She didn''t know whether the person who was determining her fate was on her side.


    She knew the woman doctor, so she knew it was her when she heard her voice.


    Rococo.


    The two people who once thought they could communicate with each other had a deep estrangement in their hearts because of Sheng Yan''s death.


    Qiao Xuan could understand Rococo''s hatred for her, but at that time, she didn''t expect such a result.


    If Rococo wants revenge, now, as long as she tells xilinfu that she is pregnant, she can make her doomed without effort.


    Rococo put away the instrument, tore some paper and handed it to Qiao Xuan: "you can get up."


    Xilin stepped forward and waited for Rococo''s answer.


    Rococo looked at Qiao Xuan''s nervous face, his eyes dropped, and said faintly: "no pregnancy. If there is nausea and retching, it should be a symptom such as pharyngitis, or a bad stomach. But according to her appearance, her body should be very weak. Try not to take medicine and can take tonic."


    Qiao Xuan looked at Rococo gratefully. She specifically told her not to take medicine because she was afraid that Xilin would take her to another department for examination. At the same time, she also hinted that she was indeed pregnant.


    Xilin Fu didn''t think that Qiao Xuan and Rococo knew each other, so he didn''t think of this layer.


    "OK, thank you." Xilin Fu said politely, and then walked over to hold Qiao Xuan.


    If she is not pregnant, he can still do it. She is only his own.


    The crisis was temporarily relieved. Qiao Xuan relaxed her nervous tension from the beginning, and her body suddenly became soft and almost soft to the ground.


    Xilin Fu just thought that she was indeed the cause of her weakness, as Rococo said, and simply picked her up.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t push him away. Although the child came suddenly and caught her a little unprepared, she still had to try her best to protect him and wouldn''t let him be the same as the previous child before he was born.


    In fact, originally Xilin Fu said he wanted to take her to the company to deceive her to the hospital. Now when he heard that she was not pregnant, he stopped talking about letting her go to the company.


    Qiao Xuan was somewhat disappointed, but she didn''t take the initiative, so she went home with him.


    "I''ll take a bath and we''ll play ball later." Xilin rubbed Qiao Xuan''s hair and smiled a little spoiled.


    However, he knew she was not feeling well and asked her to accompany him to play golf?


    Qiao Xuan screwed off her eyebrows and looked back to see his suit and coat thrown on the sofa. His mobile phone should be inside.


    Qiao Xuan jumped wildly in her heart and looked up at the upstairs. Xilin Fu had entered the bathroom. She walked slowly, picked up his coat, reached out and took out her mobile phone from his pocket.


    To enter the password, Qiao Xuan lost his birthday, but it was wrong.


    After inputting other numbers related to him several times, the password on the screen is still incorrect.


    Qiao Xuan thought for a moment and tried to enter her birthday. Unexpectedly, she really opened it.


    Xilin Fu used her birthday as the password


    Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned for a moment, then suddenly returned to her mind, immediately found the video file in her mobile phone, opened the top one, and saw that the picture was dark, but she could hear someone talking. Two people were talking about smuggling guns. One of them was Xilin Fu.


    The video lasted more than 20 minutes. Qiao Xuan didn''t have time to watch it. She quickly entered. In the back picture, Xilin Fu appeared. They should be in a warehouse, a large box open, with a whole box of submachine guns inside.

 Chapter 273

    Qiao Xuan hurriedly sent the video to Sheng Liang''s mailbox, then deleted the transmission trace, and put Xilin Fu''s mobile phone back. After a while, her heart was still pounding.


    She sat on the sofa with her back straight and slowly calmed her beating heart. When Xilin Fu changed her clothes, she seemed that nothing had happened.


    "Why is your face so red?" Xilin Fu pulled Qiao Xuan up from the sofa and looked at the red tide on her face.


    When Qiao Xuan heard what he said, she subconsciously touched her face. Her face, which had been hot because she was too nervous, was now clearly at normal temperature. After she finished this action, she suddenly realized that Xilin was cheating her.


    "Maybe she''s wearing too much. It''s a little hot." after the beginning of summer, Qiao Xuan is still wearing her coat even if she''s indoors. Now she can be used as an excuse.


    "You are just lack of exercise, your body will be so weak. In the future, I will take you running and playing every day." Xilin Fu seems to be planning his future life, looking forward to it.


    Qiao Xuan naturally doesn''t feel much. In her future plan, only Sheng Liang and her family.


    With a shallow nod, Qiao Xuan no longer made any response.


    She had what she wanted, and now she was thinking about how to escape.


    Xilin Fu has a big lawn in his yard. He usually plays golf here.


    Qiao Xuan sat under the parasol next to her and looked at where Xilin Fu was, but her eyes were not focused, so she didn''t find out when Xilin Fu came to her.


    Until Xilin Fu helped her shoulder, she didn''t return to her mind: "why don''t you fight?"


    "There''s something temporary in the company. I''ll go there and come back soon." Xilin Fu kissed Qiao Xuan on the face, didn''t even change his clothes, put the club directly in the car and left.


    It must be a tough thing, otherwise he wouldn''t leave in such a hurry.


    Qiao Xuan watched his car fade out of sight, wiped the back of her hand where he had just kissed her, and then slowly stood up.


    But she knew that even if Xilin Fu left, there were still many people in the villa, and there might be surveillance in the yard.


    Also, it''s ziluo. She''s very contradictory. Whether to take ziluo or not.


    Qiao Xuan walked around the yard. She wanted to find Roger and make sure he was safe. She also wanted to discuss with him how to leave.


    But she met several people, but she never saw Roger.


    She didn''t dare to ask, and continued to turn around.


    A burly man suddenly appeared behind her and startled Qiao Xuan. She turned around and looked at the man with precautions: "what''s the matter?"


    She seems to have seen this man. Before she went to the basement this morning, she saw him come out of that door.


    It should be the one who looks at Zillo.


    "Does Miss Qiao want to leave here?" the man asked.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know what he meant, or he was sent by Xilin Fu to deliberately test her, so she didn''t answer and turned around to leave.


    "I can help you," said the man in a deep voice behind, "but I have one condition: take Miss Luo with me."


    Qiao Xuan guessed that what he said should be ziluo. She stopped, but she still didn''t speak.


    She can''t believe him yet.


    The man probably saw her scruples, handed her a pendant and said, "my name is Cheng rang. The man named Roger is here to protect Miss Qiao. This is his thing. He asked me to come. If I talk to miss Qiao here, I''ll let the seventh master know that I let you go."


    Qiao Xuan took it and saw that the pendant was given to Qingqing by her. Qingqing gave it to Roger, who never left.


    "How do I know when you got it and why he didn''t come." if Roger has lost consciousness now, he took the pendant from Roger and lied to her again.


    Cheng rang pursed his lips and said for a long time, "this morning, when Miss Qiao was unconscious, Roger was taught a lesson by the seventh master. One of his legs was broken, so he couldn''t come."


    "What!" Qiao Xuan was surprised and angry. Xilin Fu was so cruel!


    No, it''s probably his mercy. It''s hard to know that Roger is Sheng Liang''s man and didn''t kill him. After all, she saw Qi Chu''s end with her own eyes.


    Qiao Xuan bit her lip and asked, "where is Roger now?"


    Even if it was a trap, she couldn''t care now. Roger did it because of her. She couldn''t let it go.


    Cheng rang didn''t answer, but repeated, "Miss Qiao hasn''t promised my terms."


    "OK, I promise you, as long as Roger and I can leave here, I will take ziluo." in fact, they are a burden now. Isn''t it easier for Cheng rang to let ziluo go than to let the three of them go?


    Qiao Xuan looks at Cheng rang''s face. His face is a strong man''s determination.


    He may not want to betray Xilin Fu. When they all leave, someone will bear the consequences.


    But what is the reason why Cheng rang is willing to do anything for ziluo?


    Xilin Fu may be back soon. They don''t have much time, so Qiao Xuan doesn''t hesitate and follows Cheng rang to another small building.


    In a room, Qiao Xuan saw Roger. He was really badly beaten. The injured leg was simply bandaged. The wound was still bleeding out. If you don''t go to the hospital quickly, it may be abandoned.


    "Miss Qiao..." Roger was surprised to see Qiao Xuan. When he turned to Cheng rang, he looked cold. "How did you bring Miss Qiao here? What did we say!"


    He asked Cheng rang to help Qiao Xuan escape. He promised to take Cheng rang''s woman with him, but he didn''t want Qiao Xuan to know his current situation, so Qiao Xuan wouldn''t go at ease. Unexpectedly, Cheng rang didn''t keep his promise!


    "Sorry, Miss Qiao is too alert, I can''t help it." Cheng rang still looks light.


    Now it''s like this. Roger knows it''s no use complaining. Besides, he can''t do anything now. He has to point to Cheng rang to take Qiao Xuan out.


    "Well, the most important thing now is to get them out of here. Please go out first," Roger said.


    They were all cautious people. Cheng let understand, so he didn''t say anything and turned and went out.


    The door of the room was closed. Roger listened to Cheng rang''s footsteps and said to Qiao Xuan, "Miss Qiao, you can trust him for the time being. He has a way to let you leave here. After you go out, the person I arranged will pick you up outside. But he said he wanted you to take her woman out."

 Chapter 274

    "I know, it''s ziluo." Qiao Xuan squatted down and helped Roger examine the wound.


    "Zillo?" Roger was surprised. "When did Zillo become his woman?"


    Qiao Xuan took off her gauze fingers and paused for a moment, slightly frowning: "I don''t know."


    Qiao Xuan also didn''t expect that Cheng rang''s definition of ziluo was actually his woman, so the two of them should have had a relationship. No wonder Cheng rang would take such a risk.


    But for Roger, the reason why he was so surprised was probably because he had always regarded ziluo as a cool woman.


    Roger saw Qiao Xuan''s face and realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly changed the topic and said, "there may be an accident over there. Miss Qiao can help him out."


    Hearing what he meant, Qiao Xuan didn''t seem to be ready to go out with her at all. Unconsciously, she asked, "what about you?"


    Roger raised his hand and let Qiao Xuan see something like a bracelet on his wrist: "the bodyguards here have magnetic card ID on their hands. No one can get out unless Xilin Fu allows it."


    So it is. No wonder Cheng rang can only take them to the door. Xilin Fu is really abnormal. Does he treat people as slaves?


    "So you know when you come in..." Qiao Xuan scolded herself, looked at the bracelet and asked, "how do you get this thing down?"


    "Miss Qiao, don''t think about this. When you go out first, I''ll find a way to leave." Roger guessed Qiao Xuan''s idea and hurriedly said, "there''s no time now. Please let Cheng go."


    Roger fell into this situation because of her. How could she leave him alone, but Qiao Xuan knew that there was really not much time left for them.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything more. She stood up and opened the door. Seeing Cheng rang smoking outside, she called him to the yard and asked, "how can you get that thing off your hand?"


    Cheng was stunned for a moment. He looked down at his wrist. His eyes were still that kind of expressionless: "there are miniature bombs here. If they are forcibly dismantled, they will explode unless the terminal settings of the seventh master can be modified."


    Qiao Xuan bowed her head for a moment and asked Cheng rang, "if possible, do you want to leave here?"


    Cheng was stunned for a longer time this time. He never thought about this problem. He never thought about leaving since he knew there was no way to remove the bracelet.


    Originally, he thought it was nothing. His life here was still very pleasant. His parents would receive his generous salary every month, and Xilin Fu would rarely challenge them.


    But today, he suddenly had this idea. He wanted to escape with ziluo and live a free life. He could do any work and wouldn''t let ziluo suffer half injustice.


    So when Qiao Xuan asked, his heart jumped wildly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded heavily: "yes."


    "I''ll try to help you untie this thing, but you have to promise me to take Roger out." Qiao Xuan made a decision in her heart.


    This time, Cheng let didn''t hesitate and immediately agreed: "OK."


    He knew the situation of the villa like the back of his hand. Even if Roger''s legs were broken, he could bring people to the door. As long as there was no shackle of this bracelet, he would have no threat.


    Qiao Xuan nodded and then told him her specific ideas. Although Cheng rang was a little surprised, driven by the strong idea of escaping from this place, he didn''t care about anything.


    Qiao Xuan finished with him and returned to the original place. She leaned back on the recliner and calmed her excited mood.


    Xilin Fu''s car entered the yard. He got out of the car, took the club and went to the grass. From a distance, he saw that Qiao Xuan was still there. On his originally dark face, he immediately showed a childlike smile.


    Qiao Xuan pretended not to hear his approaching footsteps and continued to close her eyes. Her long seaweed hair hung on her chest, making her skin more and more white.


    Xilin Fu didn''t speak. He sat down on the rattan chair next to her and stared at her. Even if he looked at her like an angel, he wouldn''t get tired of it all his life.


    Feeling his eyes, Qiao Xuan opened her eyes as if she had just woke up. There was still some confusion in her eyes.


    This expression has a strong attraction to Xilin Fu. He can''t help but want to touch her face.


    However, before his hand touched Qiao Xuan, he was caught by her: "the company''s affairs have been solved?"


    In Qiao Xuan''s voice, there were some lazy sweet waxes just waking up. Especially when she asked, she didn''t let go of his hand, which made Xilin Fu excited and inexplicable: "well, it''s solved."


    Qiao Xuan turned her head and saw the red marks on the front end of the club Xilin Fu put on one side of the table, like... Blood?


    Qiao Xuan repressed her mood and didn''t show it. She closed her eyes and said, "let''s go in. I''m a little cold."


    She was cold and trembled all over.


    She didn''t know what Xilin Fu had just done, but it must not be a good thing.


    She really can''t understand what he thinks of human life!


    Back in the house, Qiao Xuan suddenly said to Xilin Fu, "let''s go to the store last night for fish porridge."


    "Now?" Xilin Fu looked at the time. It wasn''t even dinner time. Besides, it was a night snack. However, seeing that Qiao Xuan liked it, he still said with a smile, "OK."


    Qiao Xuan changed into casual clothes and followed Xilin back out of the door.


    The shop is in the west of the city, far from Xilin Fu''s villa, so Qiao Xuan deliberately said she would go there. Even if Xilin Fu found it wrong, he was out of reach.


    Xilin Fu was very happy all the way. This was probably the first time Qiao Xuan took the initiative to say where to go, and just now, she had been holding his hand.


    Even if you know her purpose, what does it matter? As long as she is still around him, everything else doesn''t matter.


    The midnight street is now deserted. There are no people at all, but Xilin Fu naturally has a way to achieve Qiao Xuan''s wish.


    Something seemed to rub against Xilin Fu''s clothes. He looked down and said, "I''ll go to the bathroom. You wait here for a while."


    Qiao Xuan nodded.


    There is only one public toilet in this street. Xilin Fu should not go there. He may go to the nearest mall. It takes 20 minutes to walk back and forth. She has plenty of time.


    She didn''t expect that things would go so smoothly. She had thought of all kinds of ways to get rid of him.


    Qiao Xuan waited for a while, calculating that he should walk out of the street, and then picked up his left cell phone from the table.


    She has tried the password, so she unlocked it quickly, and then quickly found the program Cheng rang said in it.


    In fact, it wasn''t too complicated. She soon found the names of Cheng rang and Roger, but when she saw the message box pop up and let her choose whether to cancel, she was too excited to click.

 Chapter 275

    Qiao Xuan called the villa and hung up after a few rings. That was her signal to Cheng rang to get him ready.


    After doing this, Qiao Xuan carefully deleted all traces, and then slowly put Xilin Fu''s mobile phone back.


    Everything seemed to be calm, but she knew that now she was not calm at all in Xilin Fu''s villa.


    But that''s all she can do. She can''t help with the rest.


    In her plan, she didn''t intend to go with them, because if Xilin couldn''t see her, she would doubt. In that case, none of them could go.


    Xilin Fu was actually watching from a distance. He knew what she was doing, and he didn''t want to stop it. At least Qiao Xuan was still there. He didn''t care about anyone else, just to make her happy.


    In Xilin Fu''s villa, Cheng rang heard the signal from Qiao Xuan, took ziluo out of the basement, then went to the room, picked up Roger who didn''t know anything and went out.


    "What are you doing, Miss Joe?" Roger noticed something wrong when he saw several people lying upside down outside the room.


    Cheng rang didn''t answer either. While carrying him on his back, he didn''t forget to look at ziluo who followed him, and soon walked to the gate.


    Roger looked back at the direction of the villa. Please don''t see Qiao Xuan''s shadow. His arm strangled Cheng rang''s neck: "where''s Miss Qiao, where is she?"


    Cheng rang was almost out of breath because of his stranglehold. He said with difficulty, "Miss Qiao has gone out with the seventh master. She has helped us release the control of the bracelet. If we go out from here, we will be free."


    "Asshole!" Roger scolded Cheng rang and said angrily, "I came to you to save Miss Qiao, not to want any freedom!"


    If they all run away, Xilin Fu must know that Qiao Xuan did it and will be angry with her!


    "Go back to the house, do you hear me!" Roger ordered. Now Qiao Xuan won''t be involved unless Cheng rang and ziluo are prevented from leaving.


    Cheng rang did not move. He had reached this point and reached the door. Now he would not be willing to let him go back. He looked at ziluo with innocent eyes and slowly said to Roger: "Now, even if we don''t go, the seventh master has probably found out. The best way is for us to go out first. Isn''t your people outside? I can tell you where the seventh master has gone. It must be easier to save Miss Qiao outside than here."


    Roger weighed it. He felt that what Cheng rang said was not unreasonable. Moreover, if Cheng rang really wanted to resist, he would not be an opponent at all.


    Cheng rang asked ziluo to press the button, and the gate opened. They quickly went out and didn''t dare to stay at all.


    The people Roger called were waiting outside. Seeing them, they immediately ran over and helped Roger down from Cheng rang: "brother Jie, how are you? We''ll take you to the hospital now."


    Roger immediately waved his hand: "help me get in the car. We have to save Miss Qiao first."


    Someone hurriedly opened the door. Roger looked at Cheng rang behind and said, "take a taxi and leave. You''d better leave sang city and never come back."


    Cheng rang nodded: "say thank you to miss Qiao for me."


    Roger just glanced at Zillo, and without saying anything else, he let someone drive away.


    On the way, the mobile phone of the people around him rang. After receiving it, he gave it to Roger: "brother Jie, I''m looking for you."


    The night gradually darkened and the lights in the street lit up again and again.


    The outside world is still noisy, but Qiao Xuan is surrounded by silence.


    She finished her last mouthful of porridge. Xilin Fu handed over her handkerchief. She didn''t refuse. She wiped her mouth and looked up at him: "I want to tell you one thing. I let ziluo and Roger go."


    Xilin Fu didn''t have any waves on his face, but showed a little smile: "I know."


    Qiao Xuan frowned: "do you know?"


    "Or do you think you can really get my mobile phone?" Xilin Fu smiled more and was very satisfied to see the surprised expression on Qiao Xuan''s face.


    Her expressionless face made him feel very unfulfilled.


    Qiao Xuan''s face turned pale with surprise, so at that time, he said he wanted to take a bath and just said to go to the bathroom. In fact, he deliberately left her a chance?


    She was suddenly very glad that she stayed. Otherwise, with Xilin''s tyrannical character, after they were found, except her, the fate of those three people would not be better than Qi Chu.


    Qiao Xuan sighed with relief, smiled and asked, "what are you going to do with me?"


    Xilin shook his head and leaned over to her, "how can I be willing to deal with you? You just need to stay with me."


    Qiao Xuansheng shivered and said, "you''ll regret it."


    Xilin Fu stood up, put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a low eyebrow: "only you, even if I lose everything, I won''t regret it."


    He lost her once in more than ten years. As a result, he has been looking for her for so many years. Now, he won''t let her leave him again.


    The street is very narrow, and there are stalls on both sides. Xilin Fu''s car stops at the street corner outside. They go out on foot.


    Qiao Xuan''s mood is very complicated. She knows that she has lost a great opportunity to escape Xilin Fu.


    And she is pregnant now. Even if she can hide it once, he will soon find out. At that time, her child will really be lost.


    Sheng Liang also worried her. If Xilin Fu didn''t intervene, she believed that with Sheng Liang''s ability, she would be fine soon, but Xilin Fu, he was determined to kill Sheng Liang.


    Now Sheng Liang has lost contact with the outside. There are many things he can''t arrange. I don''t know how he is now.


    The two men came to the street and were about to get on the bus. Suddenly, a car came from the opposite side. The speed was very fast, and it seemed to drive straight at them. The lights shook so that they couldn''t open their eyes.


    Xilin Fu was probably aware of something. He instinctively covered his eyes with one hand and tightly pulled Qiao Xuan''s wrist with the other hand.


    Qiao Xuan immediately closed her eyes and felt that another hand caught her. That hand was very warm. It should even be said that the heat was abnormal.


    Xilin Fu''s hand seemed to be electrified by something. He released conditionally, and Qiao Xuan was soon pulled to another car by the warm hand.


    In fact, it was only a few seconds from the beginning to the end. When Xilin reacted, the car had gone far. He looked at the shadow of the car that had disappeared and clutched his fingers with hatred.


    Sheng Liang!


    Qiao Xuan regained her mind and adapted to the light. She just wanted to make a noise. When she saw the driver in front turn around and smile at her, her brain suddenly became confused: "Sheng Qian?"

 Chapter 276

    "Of course it''s me. I said, I''m the knight who saved you in this life." Sheng Qian''s narrow eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, like a little fox.


    In this case, seeing him, Qiao Xuan felt very kind, and her just hanging heart slowly fell back to the original place: "thank you."


    Sheng Qian didn''t speak, but he looked at Qiao Xuan and smiled proudly.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly reacted. Her hand was still caught by the people next to her. She quickly wanted to take it back and see who it was.


    But when she did not twitch, she saw the unclear outline in the dim light nearby, and her breath suddenly solidified: "Sheng Liang..."


    How could he


    "HMM." Sheng Liang''s voice was stuffy, but he never let go of Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Qiao Xuan got closer and saw that he was wearing a mask and the abnormal heat from his hands. Suddenly, she thought of what Xilin Fu said in the detention center. She quickly explored his forehead and found that it was really hot.


    It has been a day and a night since last night. His condition must be very bad, but he didn''t go to the hospital, but came here to save her first.


    Qiao Xuan was so sad that she held his hand tightly and said to Sheng Qian, "go to the hospital."


    In fact, Sheng Qian didn''t know about Sheng Liang. He just thought he had a common cold, otherwise he wouldn''t promise to bring him.


    Hearing what Qiao Xuan said, she pretended to be wronged and said, "I''ve been running around all day to get my third brother out. I haven''t had a drink of water. You don''t know that if you care about me, my third brother will feel a risk. You''re going to the hospital. It''s so eccentric."


    He said so, Qiao Xuan was more distressed about Sheng Liang. He must know it himself, but he didn''t even hide Sheng Qian.


    But she just looked at him and said nothing.


    Seeing that she was so close, Sheng Liang withdrew his body: "don''t be so close to me. It will infect you."


    Before his voice fell, he caused a cough, which made his sternum ache, so he had to press his hand on his chest.


    Seeing that he was so miserable, Qiao Xuan was extremely distressed, but she didn''t know how to alleviate his pain. She could only gently pat him on the back: "don''t talk, take a rest first and get to the hospital soon."


    Sheng Qian finally realized something and immediately drove faster.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Rococo had arranged for Sheng Liang. She saw Qiao Xuan threatened by Xilin Fu, so she wanted to inform Sheng Liang. Unexpectedly, Sheng Qian answered the phone and knew about Sheng Liang''s entry into the detention center.


    The first thing Sheng Liang did when she came out was to call her, ask about Qiao Xuan and tell her about being infected with the flu virus, but he must bring Qiao Xuan back first.


    After Sheng Yan''s accident, Rococo was devastated at that time, so she vented all her resentment on Qiao Xuan.


    Sheng Liang once came to her and gently told her Sheng Yan''s true identity and the truth of everything that day. She knew that Sheng Liang didn''t want her to hate Qiao Xuan again.


    But she has been unwilling to forgive, because she feels that after forgiving, there is no aboveboard reason to miss Sheng Yan.


    But just yesterday, she saw Qiao Xuan''s situation. She hesitated for a long time, and finally she couldn''t stand by.


    In fact, if it were her, she would probably be the same as Qiao Xuan.


    Rococo came out of the ward and saw Qiao Xuan sitting on the bench in the corridor with her fingers clenched tightly. She looked very nervous. She went and sat down next to her and said in a low voice, "don''t worry, ah Liang''s situation has been basically stable. He has good physical quality and will recover soon, but you''d better not go in. It''s bad for the fetus."


    Qiao Xuan looked at her and was very grateful: "thank you yesterday, otherwise..."


    Or she might lose the child.


    After the child didn''t come before, she and Sheng Liang had regrets, but they didn''t mention it in front of each other.


    It was a secret injury to both of them.


    Now she finally has another child. If she loses it like that, she really feels sorry for Sheng Liang.


    Rococo looked ahead, but his eyes didn''t fall to the ground. He said for a long time, "I take back what I said before. I don''t hate you anymore, but I still can''t take you as a good friend as before."


    "I know, I''m sorry." although Qiao Xuan didn''t expect that her pulling back Sheng Liang would lead to Sheng Yan''s death, it has happened, and she is really responsible.


    Rococo only shook her head gently. Qiao Xuan didn''t know whether she didn''t accept her apology or said it didn''t matter.


    Sheng Liang is isolated for treatment. Qiao Xuan can''t go home for the time being because she has contacted him.


    The two people are clearly in the same hospital, but they can''t meet.


    Qiao Xuan''s cell phone was also lost when Xilin Fu''s people grabbed it. She couldn''t even make a video with him.


    She was stunned when the door of the ward opened. She looked back and saw Rococo coming in.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan seldom saw Rococo in a white coat before. She came in suddenly, and she didn''t recognize it.


    Rococo came over, put her cell phone into Qiao Xuan''s hand and said, "ah Liang wants to see you."


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t know how to thank her. Every time she needs help most, Rococo appears in time.


    It seemed that she knew what Qiao Xuan wanted to say. Rococo patted her on the shoulder, turned and walked out: "you talk to ah Liang for a while, and I''ll tell you something later."


    Qiao Xuan watched Rococo close the door and go out. Sheng Liang sent a video invitation at this time. She clicked on it and saw the face she had been thinking about day and night for so many days. Her eyes couldn''t help getting wet.


    "Do you miss me?" Sheng Liang looked a little haggard, but he still smiled at her and asked.


    Qiao Xuan forced her head, held back her tears and smiled: "Sheng Liang, I want to tell you good news. I''m pregnant. We''ll have another child."


    Hearing what she said, Sheng Liang''s face was not as excited as expected. He just smiled faintly: "well, I heard cocoa."


    "Aren''t you happy?" Qiao Xuan noticed his mood, and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared. "Don''t you like this child?"


    Sheng Liang quickly said, "no, I''m very happy. I just don''t know how to express it. Don''t think too much. We''ll meet in a few days and talk about it."


    Sheng Liang has always been calm, she knows, so when he says so, she doesn''t care any more. She thinks that maybe now across the screen, he really can''t express his thoughts.


    "How are you? Does your chest still hurt?" Qiao Xuan felt very remorse. She couldn''t take care of him when he was ill.


    Sheng Liang shook his head, then said in a low voice, "I miss you very much. I can''t sleep without holding you."

 Chapter 277

    There was a trace of grievance in Sheng Liang''s tone, which was like being coquettish with Qiao Xuan. Such Sheng Liang always made Qiao Xuan feel distressed.


    "Now close your eyes and I''ll sing to you." Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang, closed her eyes as she said, and sang softly, "we haven''t felt the climate of snowflakes blooming. We tremble together, and we will understand better what tenderness is..."


    After singing a song, Qiao Xuan didn''t hear Sheng Liang''s response. She knew he was asleep and turned off the video call on her side.


    After a while, Rococo came in. Qiao Xuan returned her cell phone and said thank you to her.


    Rococo sat down opposite Qiao Xuan, looked at her and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I want to tell you about the child in your stomach."


    Seeing Rococo''s serious expression, Qiao Xuan''s heart sank and subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen: "child... There''s a problem?" is it infected with the virus?


    Rococo shook his head hurriedly: "no, it''s related to the injury in your brain."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan looking at her in surprise, Rococo immediately explained: "sorry, the doctor who treated you told me, Qiao Xuan, your situation can''t be delayed, otherwise if it goes on like this, you will really be blind and......" if it''s serious, you will die.


    "So, if I take medicine, I can''t have this child, can I?" Qiao Xuan didn''t have much panic on her face. She seemed to have made a decision in her heart.


    "Well," Rococo nodded.


    "Then I choose not to treat." Qiao Xuan said firmly, "don''t tell Sheng Liang about it."


    "Qiao Xuan..." although she thought that Qiao Xuan would be reluctant to give up her children, she made such a decision almost without hesitation. Rococo was still a little surprised.


    Qiao Xuan smiled easily: "we have lost a child. I don''t want to lose it again."


    Qiao Xuan took Rococo''s hand and looked earnestly: "don''t tell Sheng Liang, help me."


    She knows very well the relationship between Rococo and Sheng Liang, and Rocco is a doctor, a doctor with professional ethics. She won''t watch herself die and do nothing, but Sheng Liang can''t know about it.


    Rococo looked at her in embarrassment and said, "I see."


    Qiao Xuan relieved her expression: "thank you."


    Rococo walked out of the ward and couldn''t calm down for a long time. She couldn''t completely forgive Qiao Xuan. In fact, it was because she always felt that Qiao Xuan was too rational, so she couldn''t blame Sheng Yan even if Qiao Xuan did that.


    But probably, she just instinctively wanted to protect Sheng Liang that day.


    It''s really crazy to get up without dying.


    However, Rococo still can''t help Qiao Xuan, because Sheng Liang told her about it. Sheng Liang actually asked her to persuade Qiao Xuan to kill the child.


    Rococo pushed open the door of the Shengliang ward. Seeing that he was not asleep, he saw her and asked in a low voice, "what did she say?"


    Rococo shook his head: "you should know her better than me. How could she promise to kill the child after the last abortion."


    Sheng Liang collected his eyes. Although the result was expected, his heart was still heavier and heavier.


    "What are you going to do, really let her have a baby?" Rococo knew how much Sheng Liang doted on Qiao Xuan, afraid that he would not have the heart to see Qiao Xuan sad and compromise.


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer, but said, "please help arrange the operation. The sooner the better."


    Rococo was a little surprised. If she tried hard, Qiao Xuan would run away, but Sheng Liang seemed to have an idea, so she didn''t say, "OK."


    After the observation period, Qiao Xuan can go home. The nurse helps her pack up. When she gets up, Qiao Xuan suddenly feels dizzy and falls to one side involuntarily.


    "Miss Qiao!" when the nurse saw it, she cried in horror. But before she could do anything, she saw that someone had hugged Qiao Xuan first.


    The person holding Qiao Xuan is Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes and saw Sheng Liang looking at her anxiously. She forced herself to stand firm, reluctantly smiled and asked, "are you okay?"


    Sheng Liang was very distressed, but he didn''t show it. He kissed her forehead and said, "with you singing in your ear, you sleep sweeter than usual. How can it be bad."


    Looking at their ears and temples, the nurse immediately went out, and Sheng Liang kissed her more and more recklessly, as if to get back all the money owed these days.


    Every day around Xilin Fu, Qiao Xuan is crazy about Sheng Liang. Now, she can finally hug him and feel the temperature on him.


    The joy of reuniting after a long separation made them forget themselves, but Sheng Liang let go of her before kissing her so fast that she couldn''t breathe. He looked down at her red face, pecked at her swollen cherry lips, and said with a smile: "are you all packed up? I''ll take you home. My uncles and aunts are waiting for you at home."


    She hasn''t seen her family since she was under house arrest by Xilin Fu. The last time I saw her, she was threatened by Xilin Fu and only took a long look.


    I think Sheng Liang must have used some excuse to appease them, otherwise they must be looking for her all over the world, especially Qiao Nan''s impulsive character. I''m afraid I don''t know what to do.


    On the way back, Qiao Xuan saw the driver''s strange face. Unconsciously, she thought of Roger''s injury. She asked Sheng Liang, "how''s Roger? Is his leg okay?"


    "It''s all right. It''s just a fracture. You can recover after a period of rest." Sheng Liang understood Qiao Xuan''s remorse, kissed the top of her hair and said something that reassured her.


    Qiao Xuan was a little relieved, but when she looked up at Sheng Liang, she found that he seemed absent-minded.


    When I got home, my parents looked forward to it. When they heard the sound of opening the door, they rushed out immediately. My mother was the first to hold her.


    Before, Qiao Xuan really didn''t think that one day she would hug each other with her family and say some boos, but now, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, she didn''t feel stupid at all.


    "Mom, I have something to tell you." Qiao Xuan''s face flushed slightly and her expression was a little shy.


    "What''s the matter?" Joe''s mother looked at her expectantly and thought she was going to marry Sheng Liang.


    "Yes -" Qiao Xuan just wanted to speak, but Sheng Liang suddenly pulled her from behind. She didn''t know what had happened and looked at Sheng Liang in a daze.


    Sheng Liang knew that she was going to tell her parents about her pregnancy, so she stopped her in time and said to Qiao''s parents, "nothing. Hua''er just wanted to say that you are worried these days because things in the company have kept you from meeting for so long. In order to express my apology, I have booked a ticket for a trip to Europe and let you go with Xiao Nan for a few days."

 Chapter 278

    "Well, your uncle wanted to go before." Qiao''s mother smiled. Although she knew in her heart that what Qiao Xuan wanted to tell her was definitely not this matter, Sheng Liang didn''t want Qiao Xuan to say, and she couldn''t force it.


    When Qiao Xuan heard Sheng Liang''s words, she looked at him in amazement, but she didn''t let Sheng Liang hold her hand until they were alone and asked, "don''t you want my family to know about my pregnancy?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her like thinking for a long time before he said, "gorgeous, I don''t want this child."


    Qiao Xuan frowned, "why?" did he already know her physical condition?


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer, but just held her shoulder and said, "will you have children after we get married? I don''t want my children to be unclear."


    not clear? He actually used such a word. Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "do you think this child is not yours?"


    Sheng Liang is noncommittal.


    Qiao Xuan was very disappointed to see that he didn''t even have a half sentence explanation. She really didn''t expect that Sheng Liang would doubt her feelings.


    She was a little confused in her heart, but Qiao Xuan didn''t want to lose her last reason or say too extreme words, because she still couldn''t really veto him. She turned her back to him and said in a very light voice, "go back, I want to be alone."


    "Tomorrow morning, I made an appointment for your operation. You don''t want to eat breakfast or drink water. I''ll pick you up in advance." Sheng Liang said expressionless.


    "Get out!" Qiao Xuan roared, her face pale.


    She helped him find many excuses in her heart. At first, she thought that Rococo must have told Sheng Liang about her situation, so Sheng Liang resolutely didn''t want the child. Even if he said that the child was not clear, she must be afraid of directly saying that she would be reluctant to give up.


    But he even made an appointment for the operation without her consent, which completely cooled Qiao Xuan''s heart.


    Sheng Liang looked at her back and couldn''t bear it, but finally said, "I''ll go first."


    Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qiao Xuan''s tears fell down.


    Originally, she thought happily that Sheng Liang would be very happy to hear that she was pregnant. It turned out that it was not at all. She had noticed it before, but he said it was too sudden, and she believed it. Now I want to come, he was thinking about giving her an abortion at that time.


    Nevertheless, Qiao Xuan still takes a chance and hopes that this is just a misunderstanding. Sheng Liang has to suffer. She doesn''t believe that Sheng Liang will really don''t want the child.


    Thinking about this, Qiao Xuan immediately opened the door and ran out of the door of the community. When she saw Sheng Liang still standing by his car, her tingling eased, walked forward a few steps and was about to call his name, but when her sight shifted, she saw that there was still a person standing opposite Sheng Liang.


    Someone she thought she couldn''t see again in the future.


    Zillo.


    Ziluo was wearing very thin clothes and stood trembling in front of Sheng Liang, with a cautious face, completely free from the previous willful arrogance.


    But Qiao Xuan still felt the threat from her.


    Didn''t she let Cheng go? Why did she show up here again?


    It seems that she still doesn''t want to give up Sheng Liang.


    "Sheng Liang..." Qiao Xuan was supposed to shout out, but at that moment, she saw ziluo''s body fall down like a leaf, and Sheng Liang almost instinctively hugged her. Qiao Xuan''s voice was like something blocking her throat, only sending out a low nonsense.


    She stood where she was, looked at Sheng Liang, held qiluo in one hand, opened the door in the other hand, then picked qiluo up horizontally, put him in the car, and drove away.


    From beginning to end, he didn''t find her not far from him.


    A heart, like falling into an ice cellar, is too cold to beat.


    Qiao Xuan walked back in a daze. In the corridor, she met Qiao Nan who was about to go down to find her. Qiao Nan saw that she was alone and asked, "is Sheng Liang gone? Why don''t you say hello? It''s impolite."


    Qiao Xuan was not in the mood to listen to what he said and continued to walk back.


    "By the way, sister, he gave you a cell phone. I just played for a while." Qiao Nan stuffed a cell phone into Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    She had planned to buy the latest version of the music mobile phone before, but she never went to see it. She seemed to have mentioned it to Sheng Liang. Unexpectedly, he still remembered it.


    Moreover, Qiao Xuan saw the pattern of pink petals on the back with a black background, like cherry blossoms falling at night, and knew that it should be specially customized by him.


    Just like their names, the cool night is like summer flowers.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart calmed a little. In the final analysis, she still trusted Sheng Liang. She turned on her mobile phone, turned out the only number left in it and gently dialed it out.


    After a few rings, the phone was connected, and Sheng''s cool and steady voice came from the other end: "I left in a hurry and didn''t have time to tell you about my mobile phone. Do you like it?"


    "HMM." Qiao Xuan said, and she didn''t know what to say. She was silent for a while before she said, "Sheng Liang, I want to talk to you about the child."


    This time, Sheng Liang fell silent and said, "I know what you want to say. OK, I respect your decision."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t expect that Sheng Liang would promise her so soon. She reacted and immediately said, "thank you."


    Hearing the choking in her voice, Sheng Liang sighed gently after hanging up.


    He doesn''t dare to push Qiao Xuan too hard. He knows Qiao Xuan''s temperament too well. She will really escape him.


    Sheng Liang sat on the sofa, his legs overlapping, and slowly rubbed the center of his eyebrows.


    "Do you have a headache? I''ll rub it for you." ziluo stood in front of Sheng Liang in a white nightdress, with a low voice.


    Sheng Liang only looked at her and looked away: "no, go and have a rest."


    But Zillo didn''t leave. Instead, he went behind the sofa and put his hand on the cool temple.


    Sheng Liang frowned, grabbed her hand, and immediately let go: "Xiao Luo..."


    Ziluo didn''t move and said softly, "don''t worry, I won''t pester you like before. I know it''s impossible between us. I just want to make up for some mistakes I made before. You took care of me before. Now, give me this opportunity to do something for you, OK?"


    Sheng Liang put down his hand slowly and didn''t speak for a long time.


    When ziluo saw that he didn''t refuse, he smiled on his lips and held his head for him.


    "Was it Qiao Xuan who called just now? Did you quarrel?" ziluo seemed to ask unintentionally.


    "No," Sheng Liang directly denied, "it''s a matter of work."


    Ziluo said in a low voice, "she helped me escape from Xilin Fu. I haven''t thanked her yet."


    Hearing these three words, Sheng Liang''s eyes sank.

 Chapter 279

    Seeing Sheng Liang''s face was bad, Qi Luo hurriedly said, "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have talked too much."


    "It has nothing to do with you." although Sheng Liang said so, he still stood up and avoided ziluo''s hand. "What are your plans in the future?"


    Ziluo looked disappointed, lowered his head and said in a shallow voice, "I want to find a job, but I haven''t done anything before. I don''t know what I can do."


    In the past, she was the daughter of the mayor. Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu protected her very well. She really didn''t let her do anything, but now she is only left alone. She will face it alone for a long life in the future.


    Although she had done a lot of willful things before and even hurt Qiao Xuan, after so long, even Qiao Xuan stopped caring and saved her from Xilin Fu. What can he not let go.


    Sheng Liang looked back at her helpless face and said softly, "if you like, you can come to my company. However, you may have to start with the most basic work, which will be very hard."


    "I will, I''m not afraid of hard work!" ziluo said immediately.


    Sheng Liang looked at her and nodded, "OK, I''ll arrange it for you."


    Ziluo was so happy that she couldn''t hide her smile. Sheng Liang was inexplicably sad. She didn''t need to be like this before.


    "By the way, you''re going to the company this afternoon. Go take a bath first and I''ll wash your clothes for you." ziluo looked at Sheng Liang in a humble tone.


    Sheng Liang wanted to tell her not to be so careful. He was not used to such a way of getting along, but he hesitated and didn''t say it after all.


    In the future, they may have to get used to it.


    After taking a bath, changing clothes and cooling out, ziluo was as careful as a treasure when he saw ziluo tidying up his room and wiping the photo frames of him and Qiao Xuan on the bedside table.


    "Xiao Luo," Sheng Liang called her and said, "I''m going to the company. Don''t do these things until you''re better."


    Xu Shi heard that Sheng Liang was concerned about her. Ziluo''s eyes suddenly turned red, but he didn''t seem to want Sheng Liang to see it. He immediately smiled and said, "I know."


    But can Sheng Liang not see it? He frowned slightly and walked downstairs.


    He hasn''t been here these days. Sheng Qian is responsible for everything in the company. Sheng Qian wasn''t really ignorant at first. Now he''s serious, but he''s like a model.


    Seeing Sheng lianglai, he immediately went over and asked, "when did you leave the hospital, why didn''t you let me pick you up?"


    Sheng Liang also admired Sheng Qian''s strong reaction. He knew that going to the hospital with him would be isolated. Sheng Qian left them at the door of the hospital.


    Seeing that he is smiling now, he is free from the cunning appearance of a little fox, and Sheng Liang''s tone is not good: "it''s probably just what you want if I don''t come back."


    "Eh, I haven''t seen you for a few days. The third brother has become humorous." Sheng Qian narrowed his eyes with a smile.


    Sheng Liang ignored him, sat down in his seat and asked casually, "what progress has been made in the acquisition of Shengshi?"


    "A good news, a bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Sheng Qian sat down on his desk.


    "Bad news." Sheng Liang didn''t think about it.


    "The bad news is that last night, a senior executive in charge of the acquisition case of the Xinier family was poached by Xilin Fu, who has a lot of our internal information." Sheng Qian''s face sank unconsciously.


    Sheng Liang still didn''t respond much, and asked, "what''s the good news?"


    Sheng Qian smiled cunningly: "the foreigner can''t speak Chinese. I arranged an interpreter for him."


    Sheng Liang looked up at him and smiled: "arrangement is a very good word."


    In this way, there may be unexpected gains.


    As they were talking, there was a knock at the door. They looked at Zhao Xiaowei together and saw that it was Zhao Xiaowei. Sheng Qian''s face immediately became ugly: "who let you in!"


    "I''m not looking for you, I''m looking for president Sheng." Zhao Xiaowei didn''t look at Sheng Qian much, and walked straight to Sheng Liang. "President Sheng, do you have time now? I want to talk to you about something."


    Sheng Liang looked at Sheng Qian and motioned that he could go out.


    Although Sheng Qian was reluctant, he could not stay, so he had to go out.


    However, after closing the door, he deliberately left some cracks, and then lay on the door to listen to what they said inside.


    "Mr. Sheng, I want to tell you that I may not be able to shoot the next play." Zhao Xiaowei said apologetically, "I will bear the part of liquidated damages myself."


    "This is not the point, the reason?" Sheng Liang glanced at the door and probably guessed what was going on in his heart.


    "I''m pregnant."


    Hearing Zhao Xiaowei''s words, Sheng Liang didn''t respond. The door was immediately pushed open. Sheng Qian rushed over and twisted his eyebrows and stared at Zhao Xiaowei: "what did you just say, you''re pregnant, whose?"


    "Does it have anything to do with you?" Zhao Xiaowei glanced at him impatiently, turned to Sheng Liang and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment of the company. I hope President Sheng will understand."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s coffee position is indeed a cash cow of feilengcui, and unmarried pregnancy will certainly remind the media of her previous scandals, which has a great impact on the company, enough for the company to hide her.


    Coupled with the huge liquidated damages, not to mention the future development, even life may become a problem. No wonder Sheng Qian is so anxious.


    Sheng Liang didn''t want to get involved in the affairs between them. He said to Sheng Qian, "you handle it. I have something to go out."


    "President Sheng!" Zhao Xiaowei shouted when he saw Sheng Liang get up and go out.


    But Sheng Qian stopped her: "explain to me what''s going on?"


    "Not with you -" before Zhao Xiaowei finished his words, Sheng Qian suddenly forced her body to the table. She hurriedly pushed him, "Sheng Qian, get away from me!"


    "Now let me go. Didn''t you have to follow me before, Zhao Xiaowei? You''ve also learned to play hard to get, haven''t you!" Sheng Qian grabbed her wrist and made her unable to struggle, "say, which wild man''s child in your belly!"


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t expect Sheng Qian''s reaction to be so strong. Her chest fluctuated and her heart was very contradictory, but she hesitated and said, "it''s not yours anyway. Why do you ask so much?"


    Of course he knew it wasn''t him. He didn''t touch her at all, so he was more angry.


    "Sheng Qian, you don''t like me. Why bother me so much? Who am I with and who have children with? It doesn''t seem to have anything to do with you?" Zhao Xiaowei looked at Sheng Qian tightly and tried to find something like regret and guilt on his face.


    But, No.


    Sheng Qian suddenly let go of her, sneered and said, "what you said is, you can roll."

 Chapter 280

    He told her to go away.


    Zhao Xiaowei felt a pain in his heart. Sure enough, even such a method was of no use to him.


    Her lips trembled a little. She was so sad that she smiled: "thank you, humble."


    Leaving in front of him, Zhao Xiaowei felt that she had spent all her strength, so just after entering the elevator, her body suddenly collapsed on the ground.


    Even so, she still maintained her last dignity and didn''t make herself cry too embarrassed before she left the company.


    But what she didn''t know was that after she left Sheng Liang''s office, Sheng Qian had someone follow her.


    He wants to see who doesn''t know what to do and dares to touch Zhao Xiaowei!


    Sheng Liang didn''t go anywhere else, but went to a nearby cafe, so he saw Zhao Xiaowei leave and Sheng Qian''s people follow her.


    After a while, Sheng Qian also came. Seeing Sheng Liang, he was slightly stunned. Then he generously walked over: "so you''re hiding here."


    Sheng Liang sat on the retro sofa, put down the coffee cup in his hand and said faintly: "I didn''t want to participate in your private affairs, but Zhao Xiaowei is a contracted artist of the company after all. The upcoming film is the highlight of our year. I don''t want to make any mistakes at this time."


    Sheng Qian avoided his eyes and whispered, "I know."


    Sheng Liang looked at him and seemed to want to say something, but at last he only said, "just know."


    Sheng Liang originally wanted to tell him that Zhao Xiaowei''s pregnancy must be false and asked him not to do extreme things, but thinking of Zhao Xiaowei''s original intention, Sheng Liang gave up again. Let them solve the problem between them.


    He now has a bigger headache than this.


    If Qiaoxuan is only a fake pregnancy, he won''t be so embarrassed.


    Sheng Liang suddenly thought of something. He immediately called Rococo and said his idea, but he was soon opposed by Rococo.


    "Ah Liang, don''t make such a joke. The doctor is responsible for the patient. How can you deceive her that the previous examination was wrong." Rococo Yi refused sternly, and then said, "I think you''d better have a frank and open talk with Qiao Xuan. You''re good for her, and she''ll listen to you."


    There was no other way, Sheng Liang had to say, "OK."


    But he knew that Qiao Xuan would not agree.


    When he got home, as soon as he entered the door, ziluo ran over, took the bag from him, took his slippers and asked him to change them. "Have you eaten?"


    "Well." Sheng Liang deliberately avoided ziluo''s hand to help him take off his coat and walked in, "an artist''s assistant in the company resigned. Go tomorrow. I''ve said hello to them and they''ll teach you how to do it."


    "Great," Zillo looked very excited. "What do I have to prepare?"


    Sheng Liang looked at the smile on her face. It was so simple and beautiful, just like her before, but he couldn''t do it. He was as unprepared as at that time.


    "Don''t prepare anything. Have a good sleep and keep your spirit." Sheng Liang still has a faint expression, but it''s different from the Dodge just now.


    Ziluo nodded heavily: "I know. I''ll go to bed early."


    Sheng Liang watched her go upstairs, sit on the sofa with her notebook, put her mobile phone aside and take a look at it from time to time.


    In his heart, although he also expected Qiao Xuan to call him, if he did, he didn''t know what mood to face.


    Qiao Xuan is not the same as him. If she were normal, she would have fought over. After all, she has just experienced such a separation. Now she is hard to come back. She should be warm.


    However, thinking of those words he asked her to kill the child, Qiao Xuan couldn''t afford to have the courage. She was afraid that he would mention it again.


    The two were so deadlocked that one night passed and no one called anyone.


    As soon as he came downstairs in the morning, Sheng Liang smelled the smell of porridge. He moved in his heart and immediately went into the kitchen. When he saw the figure with an apron, he blurted out: "gorgeous son!"


    Only when the figure looked back, did he see that it was qiluo, and then he realized that qiluo lived here now, not Qiao Xuan.


    "You got up, I made breakfast, you eat at home." ziluo didn''t seem to hear his name, but still smiled.


    Sheng Liang nodded.


    It''s the same porridge. What qiluo makes is different from what Qiao Xuan makes. Sheng Liang drinks a few mouthfuls, but he misses the taste of Qiao Xuan more and more.


    Sheng Liang put down his spoon and said to ziluo, "I''ll go to the company in advance. I''ll have someone pick you up later."


    Ziluo watched him quickly out of the restaurant. He was in a hurry. He didn''t know what had happened.


    Sheng Liang quickly drove out and soon came to Qiao Xuan''s house. When Qiao Xuan opened the door and saw him, he was surprised: "Why are you --" coming.


    Before her words were finished, Sheng Liang held her tightly, as if to pass on all the thoughts of last night to her.


    "What happened?" Qiao Xuan stroked his back and asked with some worry.


    Sheng Liang shook his head and let go for a long time. She asked, "I haven''t had breakfast yet."


    He suddenly ran. Qiao Xuan thought what was wrong. Hearing his words, she smiled and took his hand and walked in: "I just cooked porridge. My parents went out for a run. Xiao Nan hasn''t got up yet. Just in time, I''ll serve it to you."


    Sheng Liang rubbed her fingers, which reassured him.


    Pull him to sit down at the table. Qiao Xuan gives him a bowl of porridge and a small pancake made by herself.


    Sheng Liang took her from her hand, put her on the chair, walked over and filled her share: "let me do these things in the future."


    Thinking that it should be because of her pregnancy, he couldn''t bear to let her tired. He was still in an uncomfortable mood yesterday, and now it''s gone.


    "Eat quickly. You have to go to the company later." Qiao Xuan bowed her head and drank porridge, sweet in her heart.


    "There are many infectious diseases in spring. You should go out as little as possible and pay attention to rest at home. Your body is too weak. I''ll tell my aunt to let her give you more stew."


    Qiao Xuan had never seen Sheng Liang nagging like this. For a moment, she couldn''t help laughing: "I''m not used to it when you suddenly do this."


    "Then get used to it slowly. In the future, we will live together for many years." Sheng Liang grabbed her hand and kissed her.


    Qiao Xuan was very moved. She knew that Sheng Liang made these changes for her, but she still pretended to be disgusted and frowned: "a lot of oil, I''m going to wash my hands."


    In fact, he only drank porridge and had no oil at all. She just had a terrible heartbeat and wanted to find an excuse to calm down.


    Sheng Liang refused to let her go. He still held her hand tightly and said, "wash after eating."

 Chapter 281

    Originally, she said that on purpose, so Qiao Xuan didn''t move at all.


    Qiao Nan walked in bleary eyed and saw the two men flirting. He thought he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and said, "abuse the dog early in the morning. Can you do it?"


    Qiao Xuan blushed slightly and wanted to take her hand back, but Sheng Liang didn''t let go. He just said to Qiao Nan in a business tone: "your recent work doesn''t seem to be very busy. If you''re okay, take Lin Zheng to the company for physical training."


    Which eye did he see that he was not busy? Qiao Nan immediately said, "there have been many announcements recently. I don''t even have time to sleep. Boss, don''t exploit me anymore."


    Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang deliberately turned aside the topic and said to Qiao Nan, "eat quickly. Maybe you can take your boss''s car together later."


    "Doesn''t he have a car? Where''s the car I gave him last time?" Sheng Liang asked casually.


    "Don''t mention it. I met a group of flying car gangsters on the road a few days ago and crashed the car. It''s still being repaired now." Qiao Nan thought about it and felt very unlucky.


    Sheng Liang was stunned: "what flying car party? Where did you meet? How many of them?"


    "When I took Lin Zheng to the TV station to record the program, there were five or six people I met in Liulin street." seeing Sheng Liang''s abnormal look, Qiao Nan asked, "what''s the matter, do you know?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "no, just ask."


    Seeing that he bowed his head to eat again, the sister and brother just thought he was curious and asked casually.


    After breakfast, Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan walked together. When saying goodbye at the door, Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and stopped talking. Finally, he only said, "I''ll see you again in the evening."


    It''s really not like their style of getting along, but Qiao Xuan likes this feeling.


    It''s really boring to have nothing to do at home, but Qiao Xuan knows that since she was captured by Xilin Fu, her job has been taken over by Sheng Qian. Now she can''t even find a better excuse to go back to work.


    After reading at home for a while, she heard her mobile phone ring and didn''t read it. She answered directly: "what''s the matter? Did you forget to take anything?"


    This number is only known to Sheng Liang, so she subconsciously thought it was Sheng Liang.


    "Joe, I haven''t seen you for a long time. Will you come out for a cup of coffee?"


    She heard the fluent Chinese coming from there, but the voice still made her stiff.


    Sinair? How could it be him? Didn''t he go back to Germany?


    "You seem surprised, Joe. Now you''re wondering why I''m back," said sinair with a strange smile. "I''m back and get back what belongs to me."


    At first, he proposed to buy Shengshi, but the Shengshi they got was just an empty shell, so he lost his family''s trust and was recalled to the country. Now the Xinier family is going to withdraw from China. What is he doing back?


    "Sorry, it''s inconvenient for me now. Goodbye." Qiao Xuan hung up in a hurry, but thought that Xinier could find the number she used now, so he should easily know where she lives.


    Qiao Xuan quickly opened the door and was about to go out to find her parents. Seeing that they were just back, she hurriedly asked, "have you met any strange people?"


    Joe''s parents looked at each other and nodded, "yes."


    Seeing Qiao Xuan immediately nervous, Qiao''s father smiled: "aren''t those people arranged by Sheng Liang, we all know."


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, but she was not surprised. Sheng Liang must have been more careful when something happened last time. She wanted his people to stay at her home 24 hours.


    However, Xinier is different from Xilin. He has no scruples at all. Obviously, he came back for revenge this time.


    Qiao Xuan quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Sheng Liang''s number. She wanted to remind him to be careful.


    "Sheng Liang, Xinier is back. He may go for you. You should be careful." Qiao Xuan said immediately as soon as the phone was connected.


    There was no sound at that end for a long time. Qiao Xuan thought Sheng Liang wasn''t listening, called him again, and then heard a female voice say, "he''s not here, but I''ll tell him."


    Qiao Xuan froze in an instant, even her voice was uncontrollable: "qiluo, how can you..."


    At this time, Sheng Liang should be in the company. Why is ziluo there?


    Qiluo smiled and said, "I''m working in feilengcui now. Liangliang arranged it for me."


    Liangliang, that''s what she calls Sheng Liang in private.


    "By the way, you just said that Xinier was the German," ziluo seemed to quickly check something, and then said, "you don''t have to worry about it. I''ll help Liangliang solve it, and I''ll help him with the acquisition of Shengshi. Just stay at home."


    Before Qiaoxuan could say anything, ziluo had hung up. Qiaoxuan held her mobile phone and kept the posture of answering the phone. She hadn''t moved for a long time.


    Zillo, she''s prepared, too.


    Qiluo deleted the call record just now, put the mobile phone back to the original place, turned around, just saw Sheng Liang coming in from the outside, immediately smiled and asked, "can I go there?"


    Sheng Liang glanced at the mobile phone on the table, nodded and said, "well, you can go. Lin Zheng''s agent is waiting for you below. He will go to the TV station later. You can help prepare."


    "I know." ziluo went to the door and saw Sheng Liang pick up his cell phone from the table. "When I get familiar with my work, I will find another place to live, which will not affect you and Qiao Xuan."


    Sheng Liang looked at her and wanted to say it didn''t matter, but he saw that she had gone out.


    He turned on his cell phone and looked. He didn''t see the call from Qiao Xuan. He thought it was his heart. After all, ziluo was really different from before.


    Qi Luo went down from Sheng Liang''s office floor and saw Qiao Nan below. She was stunned.


    She almost forgot that Sheng Liang didn''t know about her and Qiao Nan. It seems that Qiao Xuan didn''t tell him.


    Qiao Nan was shocked to see qiluo coming down from above. At that time, he went to Yunnan before qiluo. Later, Qiao Xuan didn''t tell him about it. He thought qiluo hated him, so he left.


    "Xiao Luo..." Qiao Nan murmured. If he wasn''t his current identity and Lin Zheng was sitting next to him, he would be more impolite.


    Qiluo guessed that Qiao Xuan didn''t tell Qiao Nan the truth. She couldn''t bear to hurt Qiao Nan. This helped her.


    "Xiao Nan, why are you here? Are you miss Lin''s agent?" Qi LuoMing asked.


    Hearing her ask, Qiao Nan understood that the assistant Sheng Liang arranged for Lin Zheng was Qi Luo.


    He had a headache. He thought it was impossible to be with ziluo, so he fell in love with others. But now ziluo appeared in front of him again, and even had to face each other day and night in the future. He didn''t know what to do for a moment.

 Chapter 282

    Lin Zheng found that Qiao Nan looked wrong. He stood up and walked to him and asked, "what''s the matter? Do you know each other?"


    "Oh, yes, I''ve seen it before," Qiao Nan tried to look as usual and introduced Lin Zheng, "her name is Xiao Luo."


    In fact, Qiao Nan suddenly realized that he didn''t know ziluo''s full name at all.


    "Hello, Miss Lin." Qi Luo said hello to Lin Zheng, but his face looked arrogant.


    Even if Lin Zheng is no longer in peace with the world, he still understands when he is in the entertainment circle. He can see that Qi Luo came down from Sheng Liang''s office and met Qiao Nan. He has some knowledge of Qi Luo''s identity, smiled and said, "hello."


    Qiao Nan always feels strange about this scene. Moreover, what Lin Zheng needs is an assistant. He has to do a lot of dirty work. Looking at Qi Luo, can he speak kindly.


    When she got to the TV station, while Lin Zheng was recording the program on the stage and Qi Luo was waiting backstage, Qiao Nan slipped out quietly, called Qiao Xuan and said in a low voice, "sister, do you remember Xiao Luo? I told you, she''s back."


    Qiao Xuan was surprised. Why has Qiao Nan seen qiluo?


    Thinking of qiluo''s answering the phone just now, I guessed that they should have met in the company: "Xiaonan, I didn''t tell you something. I don''t want to make you sad, but from now on, I hope you can stay as far away from her as possible."


    "I also want to stay away from her," Qiao Nan said in some embarrassment, "but she is Lin Zheng''s assistant. Her brother-in-law just arranged it for me. Do I have the right to say no."


    Sheng Liang asks Qi Luo to be Lin Zheng''s assistant. That''s what Qi Luo said. What''s her current job?


    "Don''t worry, I''ll solve it." Qiao Xuan hung up the phone, simply cleaned herself up and went straight to Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang is in a meeting. It''s still about the acquisition. What was originally no pressure has become difficult. Lanxi continues to create public opinion, with an attitude of being sure to win.


    Because Xilin Fu knew too well that Sheng Liang would not give up the prosperity, he dared to increase his chips again and again.


    And the sinairs are naturally happy to see them fight.


    After discussion, there was still no feasible way. Sheng Liang announced the adjournment of the meeting.


    When he came out of the meeting room, the Secretary immediately stood up and said, "Chairman, Miss Qiao is waiting for you in the office."


    Hearing that Qiao Xuan came, Sheng Liang quickly went back and saw her sitting on one side of the sofa. She looked a little gloomy. She asked, "what''s the matter? Why did she come suddenly and didn''t call me to pick you up."


    She called, but he didn''t answer.


    Qiao Xuan knew it had nothing to do with Sheng Liang, but she was still uncomfortable: "you''re so busy. How can I let you pick me up?"


    Hearing the displeasure in her words, he went over and hugged her from one side with a soft voice: "who made you unhappy?"


    "Ziluo didn''t leave mulberry City, did she?" Qiao Xuan didn''t say that she saw them standing together that day, because she believed Sheng Liang was measured and wouldn''t do anything sorry to her.


    Sheng Liang''s fingers stiffened obviously, and then closed Qiao Xuan tightly: "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to hide it from you."


    He didn''t mean to, but he did. Qiao Xuan tried to control her emotions and said, "it doesn''t matter to me whether she goes or not, but can you not arrange her with Xiao Nan."


    "What did Xiao Nan tell you?" Sheng Liang didn''t think so much, but Qi Luo said he wanted to work, and Lin Zheng''s assistant just resigned. He wanted to talk to Qiao Xuan about it later. Unexpectedly, Qiao Nan would mention it to Qiao Xuan.


    Listening to his tone, he seemed to be complaining about Qiao Nan''s trouble. Qiao Xuan sneered: "it''s not what Xiao Nan said, it''s qiluo... Xiao Nan used to like qiluo."


    "I don''t know when it happened." Sheng Liang was surprised. If he knew, how could he make such an arrangement.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to say anything. She was also wrong about it. She shouldn''t have concealed Sheng Liang at the beginning.


    Seeing that she didn''t speak, she knew she was angry. Sheng Liang held her in his arms and coaxed her and said, "I know now. I''ll arrange other work for her."


    Sheng Liang knows Qiao Xuan. If it''s her own business, she won''t react so violently, but when it comes to her family, she will be desperate.


    He has said so. Qiao Xuan can''t hold on any longer. Especially, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Liang''s slightly tired face. Her heart suddenly softened. She took his hand and asked, "the acquisition case is very difficult. I''m sorry, I can''t help you."


    "You can take care of yourself at home. Sheng Qian and I will be in charge of the company." when it comes to Sheng Qian, Sheng Liang frowned. He hasn''t come to the company since he left yesterday. He doesn''t answer the phone. I don''t know what happened.


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment and said to Sheng Liang, "actually, I want to tell you that Xinier is back. He has no rules. You should be careful."


    Sheng Liang was just a little stunned, and then smiled: "I know."


    Qiao Xuan looked at him and unconsciously thought of what ziluo said. She didn''t know what ziluo was going to do, but if she could really help Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang might change his attitude towards her.


    After all, they had such a good time.


    Qiao Xuan just thought about it and felt at a loss.


    But she soon denied this idea. She should believe Sheng Liang. Besides, she should be grateful for someone to help Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang''s cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look. He saw a message from Xiao Mu, saying that Sheng Qian was detained at the police station and asked him to get Sheng Qian back.


    Hearing Sheng Liang sigh, Qiao Xuan hurriedly asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "Xiao Si beat someone, and now he''s in the police station." Zhao Xiaowei''s words can be found full of loopholes as long as he calms down a little. It can be seen that Sheng Qian didn''t think at all.


    If he doesn''t admit that he cares about Zhao Xiaowei, this lie can only deceive himself.


    "I''ll go with you." Qiao Xuan stood up and said.


    "No, that kind of place is not where you should go. I''ll take you home first." Sheng Liang didn''t give Qiao Xuan a chance to oppose, and already hugged her out.


    Sheng Liang sent Qiao Xuan home and immediately went to the police station. As soon as he got there, he saw Zhao Xiaowei sitting on the steps outside, holding his knees with both hands and his head buried in his knees.


    She was wearing only a SILK PAJAMA with blood stains on it.


    Sheng Liang frowned and went over to take off his coat and put it on her: "go to the car first and I''ll take him out."


    Zhao Xiaowei looked up at Sheng Liang and nodded slightly.


    Sheng Liang watched her go to the car, then stepped in, but saw ziluo in the corridor: "Why are you here?"

 Chapter 283

    Ziluo was stunned when he saw Sheng Liang, then lowered his head and looked sad on his face: "they called me and asked me about my father and my brother."


    No matter what Qi Mingyu and Qi Chu did, it had nothing to do with Qi Luo, and Qi Luo really became helpless as soon as they died.


    Sheng Liang looked at her helpless appearance and couldn''t tell what he felt.


    "What about you? Why did you come here?" asked ziluo, seeing that he was silent.


    "I''ll pick up... My brother." Sheng Liang wanted to say his name directly. Thinking that she didn''t know Sheng Qian at all, she changed her mouth again.


    Ziluo didn''t ask much. Oh, he continued to go out.


    Sheng Liang looked at her back, hesitated and said, "you wait for me here for a while. I have something to tell you."


    He went in and saw Sheng Qian. He saw a man who was also there. He knew him. He was a little director. Both of them were hurt. In particular, Sheng Qian''s beautiful face was blue and purple.


    "It''s really hard to see in a hundred years," said Sheng Liang teasingly. "Don''t you usually value this face most."


    Sheng Qian was dissatisfied: "I didn''t ask you to teach me a lesson." would he need him if his parents weren''t here?


    Sheng Liang doesn''t want to teach him a lesson, but the boy hasn''t realized why he did it.


    Mingming cares about Zhao Xiaowei so much, but he always refuses to admit it. Sheng Qian in his cognition is not such a duplicity person.


    After signing, they went out together. Sheng Liang saw qiluo waiting for him at the door, so he asked Sheng Qian to get on the bus first.


    "What do you want to say to me?" ziluo looked at Sheng Liang carefully.


    When she looked like this, Sheng Liang couldn''t bear to speak. After hesitating for a while, she said, "it''s about your work. It''s too hard to be an artist''s assistant. I''d better arrange something else for you --"


    Before Sheng Liang finished his words, Qi Luo immediately said, "what''s wrong with me? Does sister Lin Zheng dislike me? I can change it. Cool, I really like this job. Don''t drive me away!"


    "Not to drive you away..." seeing her sobbing, Sheng Liang really had no way to say anything, so he had to say, "forget it, since you like it, it''s up to you."


    Qiluo immediately smiled. The pear blossom was a spring with rain. It was unspeakable and moving. She excitedly took Sheng Liang''s hand, tiptoed and kissed Sheng Liang''s lips: "thank you."


    Sheng Liang frowned slightly. When he hadn''t responded, ziluo had quickly run away.


    "When did you learn to ride two boats? What would Qiaoxuan think if she saw it." Sheng Qian leaned against one wall with a dark look on his face.


    "Take care of your own business first." Sheng Liang said. When he walked to the car, he found that Zhao Xiaowei was not in the car. He looked at Sheng Qian, "you are so relieved to let her go back alone?"


    Sheng Qian didn''t overdo it and apologized: "she had to go by herself, and I couldn''t stop her."


    That woman is really angry now.


    Sheng Liang doesn''t care about them. He doesn''t do what he promised Qiao Xuan. He''s thinking about how to explain to her.


    Qiao Xuan opened the door and was surprised to see Sheng Liang returning so soon: "Sheng Qian is all right?"


    "Well, I''ve sent him back." Sheng Liang glanced at Qiao Xuan and asked in a low voice, "can I stay here tonight?"


    It seems that they haven''t been together for a long time. Qiao Xuan''s face flushed slightly and nodded gently.


    Qiao Xuan''s physical condition, Sheng Liang is partly hidden from Qiao''s parents. They see that Qiao Xuan has no symptoms for a while, and they all believe Sheng Liang''s words more.


    In particular, Qiao Xuan is still pregnant, which is a happy thing. Although they still feel that Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan should get a certificate, they also want to open up now after Qiao Xuan went to sleep in the forest. As long as the young couple are happy together, they don''t care so much.


    Qiao Nan didn''t come back for dinner. Now he''s a busy man. He takes Lin Zheng to various activities all day. He has to go to the set and record programs. He''s very busy.


    Sheng Liang knows that Qiao Xuan hasn''t asked him about ziluo because he believes he can do it well, but this time, he really can''t open his mouth.


    After dinner, Sheng Liang offered to help clean up. Qiao''s parents didn''t refuse. They went to the living room to watch TV. There were only Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan in the kitchen.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan did nothing but put the washed bowl in the cupboard. Sheng Liang still took her to wash her hands and slowly wiped her dry with a towel.


    Qiao Xuan was not used to it before. Now she let Sheng Liang do it. She just looked at him and asked softly, "what''s the matter with you?"


    Sheng Liang stopped, put the towel aside, rubbed Qiao Xuan''s fingers and said, "I said you don''t get angry, that is, about Xiao Luo, she said she likes her current work very much, I think..."


    Qiao Xuan took her hand back without trace, with a bitter smile on her face: "what do you think, she is very poor, and I think I''m making trouble for nothing, don''t you?"


    "No," Sheng Liang still tried his best to explain to her, "gorgeous son, I know you are nervous about Xiao Nan, but he has grown up. He has his own ability to deal with things. Can''t they solve the problems between him and Xiao Luo by themselves?"


    After all, he just didn''t want to drive ziluo away. He kept saying that he had forgotten ziluo, but every time she had an accident, he would help her.


    Qiao Xuan can actually understand that after all, they have been together for so long and had deep feelings. It''s impossible to say it''s over.


    He could tell her that she was not such a stingy person, or she wouldn''t help ziluo when she was in Xilin Fu''s villa.


    But Sheng Liang chose to hide. If Qiao Nan hadn''t mentioned it, she didn''t know until now. He arranged a job for qiluo.


    And he didn''t intend to tell her about Zillo''s holding on to the car.


    Qiao Xuan is not a fussy person and is not good at arguing with others. She can''t even act like a spoiled child or quarrel.


    Maybe Sheng Liang will find her very boring.


    "You think I''m making trouble without reason. Anyway, I will never allow her to be around Xiaonan." Qiao Xuan''s attitude is firm and there is no room for maneuver.


    "Gorgeous son -" Sheng Liang wants to pull Qiao gorgeous''s hand again, but she throws it away.


    "I don''t want to quarrel with you. Go back." Qiao Xuan was a little disappointed. Men are indeed the same. They all like women who are soft if they have no bones, but she won''t.


    She won''t change her mind to cater to anyone, even if the person is Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan turned and walked out. Sheng Liang still held her. Before she could break away, she had kissed her lips.

 Chapter 284

    Qiao Xuan tried to push him away at first, but gradually she indulged in his kiss and hung soft on him. She could only cling to him like a koala.


    Feeling that she was quiet in her arms, Sheng Liang let her go and said in a low voice, "I didn''t do well in this matter, but you know, Xiao Luo has no other relatives. I just want to help her as a friend."


    The long kiss just made Qiao Xuan''s anger disappear a lot. Now she heard his flattering tone. Qiao Xuan couldn''t say anything more. She stepped back: "but I still want to ask Xiao Nan. If qiluo still pesters him, I still hope she can leave."


    "I know." Sheng Liang kissed Qiao Xuan''s forehead and said carefully, "there''s another thing to confess to you. Xiao Luo lives in my house now."


    Qiao Xuan just frowned, and Sheng Liang immediately hugged her: "I''m asking someone to arrange a place for her to live, and I''ll soon let her move out. You see, in order to avoid her, I came to your house to live. Can you forgive me?"


    Qiao Xuan has never seen Sheng Liang coax her with this tone. In an instant, all her anger disappeared and whispered, "I forgive you because I love you. You should remember this."


    "I know, I love you too." Sheng Liang bowed his head and kissed her again.


    Sheng Liang knows Qiao Xuan''s temperament. If he doesn''t trust him, he will never give in. How can he live up to her trust.


    At night, Sheng Liang held her from behind, stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, and her eyes were dark.


    In fact, he didn''t want the child, but if he could only choose one between the child and Qiao Xuan, he naturally chose Qiao Xuan.


    But now Qiao Xuan is very sensitive to this topic. He doesn''t want to stimulate her any more. He has also consulted a doctor. He can observe first and see if he can make it until he gives birth to the child.


    "Is there any discomfort now?" I remember before, she vomited very badly.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, turned over and looked at Sheng Liang: "I hope you don''t hate him."


    Maybe the child didn''t come at the right time, and she found it when she was locked up in Xilin Fu''s villa. Qiao Xuan was actually worried that Sheng Liang would think the child was not his.


    "He is our child. It''s too late for me to love him. How can I hate him." Sheng Liang gently took her in his arms. "Moreover, I will let him get more love than other children."


    The lost child has always been their heart knot. If the child can come to the world safely, he will naturally love him more.


    Qiao Xuan''s arm wrapped around his waist and drilled into his arms. She had thousands of words, but she only used this hug instead.


    She knows, Sheng Liang knows.


    Roger''s leg injury takes a long time to cultivate, but Sheng Liang can''t have no available people around him, so Roger introduced him to someone.


    This man is Cheng rang.


    Roger told Sheng Liang about Cheng rang, including, of course, about him and ziluo.


    Sheng Liang is not that no one else is available, but he still promised to let Cheng let the company.


    He has his ideas.


    "Chairman, if you mind if I used to work for Xilin Fu, you can directly refuse me." Cheng rang waited for a long time. Seeing that Sheng Liang had been busy and didn''t even look up at him, he couldn''t help saying.


    Sheng Liang still didn''t look up, just put his fingers and whispered, "wait a minute, will you? I''ll finish this."


    Cheng rang didn''t say anything again.


    After waiting for a while, Sheng Liang finally finished his work. He looked at Cheng rang with an expressionless face and said, "whoever you gave before has nothing to do with me. I have only one request. From now on, forget everything about you before."


    Cheng let a trace of doubt flash in his eyes, but finally nodded: "OK."


    Sheng Liang seemed very satisfied with his answer. He took out a key and a note from the drawer and gave it to him: "now help me do something. Go to my house and send the people living in it to this address."


    Cheng rang took it, turned and left.


    Sheng Liang looked at the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief.


    But Cheng rang didn''t expect that the person Sheng Liang asked him to pick up was Qi Luo.


    Seeing this beautiful face, Cheng rang even suspected that he was dreaming.


    He escaped with ziluo that day. As Roger said, he wanted to take her away from San City, but he just went to buy something and came back, and ziluo disappeared.


    He thought he had lost her. He blamed himself and felt guilty for fear that he would be recaptured by Xilin again.


    He has been looking for her these days. The only thing that relieved him is that Xilin Fu seems to be busy with the acquisition case recently and doesn''t care about their life and death.


    But he couldn''t find it in many places until he met Roger in the hospital.


    Roger said he could help him find ziluo, but the condition was that he would help Sheng Liang.


    Cheng rang used to be a special forces soldier. After he was wounded and retired from the army, he went to Xilin Fu''s house as a bodyguard, but Xilin Fu regarded them as slaves.


    But Xilin''s salary is also high, so many people actually don''t want to leave.


    He also wanted to live like that, but all this changed quietly after he had a relationship with ziluo.


    On the day he escaped from Xilin Fu''s villa, he imagined many beautiful pictures. In these pictures, there was ziluo.


    But he really didn''t expect that ziluo didn''t leave with him, but she left by herself.


    Ziluo was also startled when he saw Cheng rang. He reacted and shouted, "you''re following me!"


    Cheng rang didn''t explain, but looked at ziluo: "Why are you here? Do you know I''ve been looking for you?"


    Ziluo didn''t listen at all, pushed him away, and then closed the door: "I don''t know you, get out!"


    Cheng rang stood at the door, hung his head and said in a deep voice for a long time: "the chairman asked me to pick you up. He helped you find another place to live."


    chairman? Did he say cool?


    When did Cheng rang start working for Sheng liang?


    Ziluo didn''t believe it at all. She just thought Cheng rang wanted to cheat her out, so she ignored him at all.


    But she knew that Cheng rang didn''t leave, so she quickly took out her mobile phone and called Sheng Liang: "Liang Liang, can you come back? I''m afraid someone won''t go at home."


    Sheng Liang naturally understood that she was talking about Cheng rang and said softly, "Cheng rang is my man now. You can trust him. I helped you find a house and have paid the rent for three months. After that, you should be able to bear it by yourself."


    Ziluo felt like she had heard a joke, but it seemed that she told Sheng Liang that she would move out when she found another place.


    But Sheng Liang didn''t even want to wait for this time. Did he really forget the beautiful things they used to be together?

 Chapter 285

    She tried to control her mood. Her voice was low and choked. "I know, I''ll let him in. Cool, is there a cherry tree in the new house, just like this one in your yard? It''s really beautiful."


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what she wanted to say, but he couldn''t answer her. He just said, "the house I helped you find is also very beautiful."


    Ziluo understood that there was no room for maneuver, and answered it skillfully.


    After hanging up the phone, qiluo threw his mobile phone to the ground, sneered and said, "Qiao Xuan, you''re great. You''re waiting. It''s not over yet."


    Qiluo opened the door, lowered his head, red eyes, and said to Cheng rang in a hoarse voice, "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to hurt you just now, I''m just in a bad mood."


    I just thought about alienating her countless times, but when I looked at her sobbing expression, Cheng rang''s heart suddenly softened and his tone became nervous: "what''s the matter with you? Who bullied you?"


    "Don''t you want to take me to the new house? I''ll tell you when I get there." ziluo said with a tired face.


    Cheng rang naturally helped her pack up immediately and put her luggage in the car.


    "What happened?" Cheng rang couldn''t help asking as soon as he got on the bus.


    Zillo still pretended to be innocent and said: "In fact, Sheng Liang and I were together a long time ago. Later, there was an accident. After we separated for a period of time, someone took advantage of the weakness and robbed Sheng liang from me. Not only that, she was afraid that Sheng Liang would come back to me again. She even asked someone to give me medicine and sent me to Xilin Fu, and then pretended to save me, so that Sheng Liang could trust her more. I......"


    Ziluo pretended that he couldn''t speak, and his tears fell down in an instant. He was pitiful.


    "You mean... Qiao Xuan?" Cheng was surprised. Although he didn''t have much contact with Qiao Xuan, she really didn''t look like such a mean person.


    Ziluo looked at his expression and said with a bitter smile: "Look, even you don''t believe me. She''s really powerful. I''m not her opponent at all. I separated from you that day because I avoided Xilin Fu. I just wanted to stay at Sheng Liang''s house for two days, because I really don''t have any other friends. Unexpectedly, she knew that she forced Sheng Liang to drive me away. Sheng Liang and I have really passed by. I don''t know Know how to make her believe and not treat me like this. "


    Cheng asked Qi Luo to look tired and said painfully, "don''t worry, I''ll help you."


    "How can you help me? You can''t see her again. Sheng Liang protects her very well and won''t let you get close to her." ziluo sighed helplessly.


    "I''ll find a way," Cheng rang vowed. As long as he can win Sheng Liang''s trust, he will always have a chance to see Qiao Xuan.


    "Thank you, it''s very kind of you." ziluo smiled.


    Cheng let feel that nothing in the world is happier than seeing ziluo''s smile.


    So he felt that he should do something for Zillo.


    But he knew it was urgent.


    Feilengcui''s public relations team helped Zhao Xiaowei wash the white again. The new film started shooting as scheduled. There was a dinner on the day of startup, and all the artists in the company would attend. Of course, Sheng Liang was no exception.


    Naturally, there will be female partners at the dinner. Sheng Liang''s first thought must be Qiao Xuan, but considering Qiao Xuan''s current physical condition, he didn''t mention it to her.


    But Qiao Xuan still knows.


    When Qiao Nan asked her which of the two suits was better, she heard that the company was going to hold a dinner to celebrate the launch of the new film.


    "Has Sheng Liang chosen a female partner?" Qiao Xuan doesn''t doubt anything. It''s normal for him to bring his company''s female artists.


    Qiao Nan shook her head: "I haven''t heard of it. I seldom see my brother-in-law since the man called Cheng rang came. He''s communicating everything."


    "Cheng rang?" Qiao Xuan thought the name was very special. It shouldn''t be so coincidence that someone had the same name. In that case, it was the man who escaped with ziluo in Xilin Fu villa.


    What is Sheng Liang thinking? He is always strict in employing people. He must have investigated the origin of the process for a long time, but how can he keep such people around?


    After Qiao Nan left, Qiao Xuan always felt a little uneasy. She just wanted to call Sheng Liang. There was a message coming. She saw that it was Sheng Liang''s hair and asked her to go directly to the dinner venue in a moment.


    Qiao Xuan smiled. It turned out that he had never said he wanted to surprise her.


    Qiao Xuan went to the room and was ready to change. When she heard the doorbell ringing outside, she went to open the door and saw a girl standing outside with a box in her hand. She saw her and asked, "is that Miss Qiao Xuan, please?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded: "I am."


    "This is the dress Mr. Sheng ordered for you from us. You can try it on and see if it doesn''t fit. I''ll change it for you immediately," said the girl.


    Qiao Xuan took it over and looked. It was a one shoulder water blue evening dress. She said in a low voice, "don''t change it, thank you."


    Sheng Liang naturally can''t remember her size wrong.


    Take it back to the room and change it. It really fits, and the color is what she likes.


    When Qiao Xuan arrived at the meeting, she saw that many people had arrived. The stars were handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom were bright people.


    Although it was only an internal dinner, the scene was grand. In addition to the company''s artists, there were many celebrities in the circle.


    Naturally, there are also media reporters, but they only broadcast live at fixed locations and did not come to the center of the venue.


    The protagonist tonight is still Zhao Xiaowei. Although she has been through a lot of turmoil, with her strong acting skills and the publicity of the company''s public relations team, Zhao Xiaowei has long become a synonym for independence and straightforward temperament in the eyes of the public. Many people appreciate her upright character and feel that it is not easy for her to be herself without being affected by the miasma of the entertainment industry.


    So unexpectedly, after the events of getting drunk again and again and not going home at night, her fans increased instead of decreasing.


    This makes other female stars who are almost as famous as her naturally jealous, but have to admire.


    Looking at those people around Zhao Xiaowei, sincerely or falsely complimenting, the smile on her face is so bright. Qiao Xuan feels that she can''t adapt to such an environment in a few decades.


    She stood in a corner, trying not to attract attention. Her eyes searched the crowd for Sheng Liang''s figure.


    A hand stretched out from the side and grabbed her waist. Qiao Xuan was throbbing in her heart and turned her head with a smile, but the next moment, her blood seemed to solidify, her smile gradually disappeared, and her face became pale.

 Chapter 286

    How could it be him, Xilin Fu!


    Qiao Xuan subconsciously wanted to escape, but her body was still imprisoned in his palm. She pushed it, but she didn''t break away.


    "A lot of people are watching, and you don''t want to screw up the dinner?" Xilin Fu not only didn''t let go, but stepped forward, put both hands around her waist and whispered in her ear.


    Qiao Xuan looks around. No one else has found the situation here. If she moves a little bigger, she may attract attention immediately.


    The media will soon turn to them.


    At that time, feilengcui''s company dinner will become a joke.


    Qiao Xuan certainly understood the benefits, so she weighed it and finally chose silence.


    "How did you get in?" Qiao Xuan asked in a low voice. Although it was an internal banquet, they also invited insiders and reporters, so they all had invitations when they came in. No matter how careless the staff were, it was impossible to send invitations to Xilin.


    "You don''t have to worry about it. I naturally have my way." Xilin smiled, because the scar on his face made people feel afraid.


    There are so many people here and there are many security guards outside. Even if he can come in, he can''t brazenly take her away.


    When Qiao Xuan thought of these, she felt a little relieved.


    "Now that you''re here, let''s take this opportunity to make everything clear." Qiao Xuan can''t stand this endless entanglement.


    Xilin Fu didn''t speak, didn''t agree, but didn''t object.


    "I remember all the previous things, but I never want to recall them again." Qiao Xuan just mentioned it and felt like she was suffocating like drowning. She took a deep breath and then said, "what do you want me to do before you let go?"


    She knew that Xilin Fu had a morbid obsession with her, but she would not accept him.


    As long as he is willing to let her go, she is willing to try whatever conditions.


    Xilin Fu shook his head gently: "no matter what you do, it''s impossible unless I die."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart throbbed. She raised her eyes and saw the determination in Xilin''s eyes. She whispered, but she didn''t say anything.


    "Calculate that you are around Sheng Liang, but you will never want to escape me in your life." Xilin Fu smiled more and more wantonly, and his crazy look made Qiao Xuan dizzy.


    Looking at her shaky body, Xilin Fu hugged her closer and said to her ear, "you''re pregnant, aren''t you? You said, what would Sheng Liang do if he knew this child was mine?"


    "You -" Qiao Xuan struggled hard, but Yu Xilin said that such strength was not worth mentioning at all.


    Xilin Fu still held her tightly, bent slightly, his chin next to her slender shoulder, saw Sheng Liang in the middle of the crowd looking over here, he smiled and said, "don''t move, he''s looking at you, but he doesn''t seem to know you''ll come. If you turn around now, he''ll see your face."


    Qiao Xuan only feels cold and stiff. She doesn''t want to compromise with Xilin Fu, but she also knows the current situation. When Sheng Liang sees it, she probably can''t tell.


    "Get out of here with me," said Xilin Fu, with one hand around her neck. Their movements were so close to others.


    Only Qiao Xuan knew that his other hand was holding her waist and his body was still pressing her belly.


    This is a threat!


    However, there was more than that. Qiao Xuan heard a small noise behind her. It seemed that there was a cool voice. She instinctively wanted to look back, but she heard Xilin Fu say, "he came this way. You only have five seconds to think about whether to go with me."


    Of course she knew she couldn''t leave. If she went out from here, she would be locked up in his villa by him.


    She managed to escape, and she will never do it again.


    However, how to explain to Sheng Liang, especially Xilin Fu will deliberately say something she can''t refute in front of Sheng Liang. Even if she can explain clearly, will Sheng Liang believe it? Won''t he have a grudge in his heart?


    Qiao Xuan was so contradictory that she could even feel that the crowd behind her had automatically made way, and Sheng Liang was right behind her.


    "Gorgeous son?" Sheng Liang sounded tentatively.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was shocked and her hand on Xilin Fu''s chest tried to keep a distance from him. Hearing Sheng Liang''s unbelievable tone, her fingers instinctively tightened Xilin Fu''s clothes.


    When she realized her movements, her head suddenly went blank.


    However, what surprised her even more was that Xilin Fu released her at this time. He stepped back, smiled and said, "don''t forget what you promised me. I''ll go first."


    Without any hesitation, Xilin Fu really turned and left. Before leaving, he smiled meaningfully at Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan has lost her ability to think. She just feels like she has been left alone on an island.


    She turned around mechanically, saw Sheng Liang''s unexpected eyes, and whispered his name.


    Sheng Liang saw that her face was horribly pale. He went to hug her and found that her whole body was cold.


    No matter what others think, Sheng Liang directly picked up Qiao Xuan and left the meeting.


    Put her in the car, Sheng Liang took off his coat, wrapped her, gently rubbed her hand, and asked softly, "is it better?"


    Qiao Xuan looked up at his concerned eyes and put her hand around his neck: "Sheng Liang, I''m sorry."


    "Why say I''m sorry," Sheng Liang''s fingers rubbed her hair. "You didn''t do anything wrong."


    Although he said so, Qiao Xuan could hear that his tone was not as relaxed as usual.


    She was just held by Xilin Fu in front of so many people. How could he not mind.


    In particular, Xilin said that when he went back, as if there was some agreement between them.


    "Xilin and I......" it''s really nothing.


    But before she finished, Sheng Liang interrupted her. He released her, looked at her and said, "you don''t need to explain, I understand."


    Really, does he really understand? Does he really believe her?


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t see anything from his eyes.


    "How did you come? I''m afraid it''s bad for your health. I didn''t dare to tell you." Sheng Liang asked casually on the way to send Qiao Xuan back.


    Qiao Xuan was surprised: "didn''t you send me a message and order an evening dress for me."


    Sheng Liang''s heart sank, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then said, "Oh, maybe I forgot."


    Hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan was more suspicious. Would he forget such an important thing?

 Chapter 287

    three hundred and eighty-eight


    But when he said so, Qiao Xuan only thought so.


    Just after that, they both fell into silence. Sheng Liang concentrated on driving. Qiao Xuan leaned against her seat and looked out.


    The so-called thinking, that''s it.


    Qiao Xuan originally thought that they had fallen in love to the present extent and would no longer have such suspicion, but the fact is that they all want to hide each other''s secrets.


    Sheng Liang sent Qiao Xuan upstairs and watched her enter the door before he left.


    Qiao Xuan stood at the window, watching him walk out of the community and his car disappear.


    She hugged her shoulders and leaned against the window. She didn''t move for a long time. She didn''t send him a message until it was time for him to go back.


    As soon as Sheng Liang returned to the meeting, he heard his mobile phone ring and took it out to see that it was sent by Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan told Sheng Liang that she hoped they would not quarrel because of the third person under any circumstances in the future.


    Sheng Liang understood her meaning and simply returned a good word.


    "Where have you been?" ziluo suddenly appeared behind Sheng Liang, pulled him aside and whispered, "look at your mobile phone. There are some bad things on the Internet."


    Sheng Liang heard her say this. In fact, he already had a hunch in his heart, but when he saw the video picture, his heart still sank unconsciously.


    At that time, from his point of view, I didn''t see the actions of Xilin Fu and Qiao Xuan, but the shooting angle of this video is obviously close to Qiao Xuan, so I can clearly see them holding together, and Qiao Xuan''s hand is climbing on Xilin Fu''s chest.


    "What should I do? If it gets out, it will affect not only your reputation, but also our acquisition prosperity." ziluo said with a worried face.


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak. He took a glass of the red wine, then found a place to sit down, and his sight didn''t intersect with the ziluo.


    "Cool..." qiluo also sat down opposite him and looked at him for a moment. "I have something to confess to you. In fact, tonight, I sent a message to Qiao Xuan with your mobile phone, and I sent her her her dress."


    Sheng Liang finally turned back and looked at her: "why?"


    When Qiao Xuan told him, he guessed it was ziluo, because only she had a chance to get his mobile phone.


    He just didn''t expect that Zillo would take the initiative to say it.


    "I was threatened by Xilin Fu," ziluo lowered his head and his eyes turned red. "I was afraid of him. I didn''t dare to listen to him. He said he wanted to meet Qiao Xuan, and he must use this way. If you find out, it will all be pushed on me. It has nothing to do with Qiao Xuan."


    Sheng Liang sighed, as if he didn''t want to say anything more. He took a sip of red wine and slowly said, "next time, tell me what Xilin Fu wants you to do."


    Hearing that Sheng Liang was protecting her, ziluo was very happy and nodded immediately: "thank you, Liang Liang."


    Sheng Liang turned the wine glass, and his eyes became darker and darker.


    Qi Luo was crying and laughing at Sheng Liang. Qiao Nan, who was passing by, saw him, and his eyebrows twisted hard.


    It seems that Qiao Xuan has been hiding his. It''s probably the relationship between ziluo and Sheng Liang.


    He just wanted to go over, but his arm was pulled. Lin Zheng pulled him aside and asked softly, "what are you going to do? Are you still like her?"


    "Of course not!" Qiao Nan immediately denied, looked over there and said, "but Sheng Liang is my future brother-in-law. I can''t let him do anything sorry for my sister."


    "Don''t you know what your old lover''s identity is?" Lin Zheng really didn''t want to hit him, but seeing that he was so concerned about qiluo, he felt a little uncomfortable.


    "What identity?" Qiao Nan looked at Lin Zheng suspiciously.


    Speaking of it, he really knew little about ziluo. At that time, he only knew her nickname, didn''t even know her last name, and knew nothing about other things.


    Lin Zheng sighed: "you are really big hearted. You fall in love with others at first sight without knowing anything."


    Qiao Nan was embarrassed by what she said and asked, "what exactly did you say she was?"


    "She is Qi Mingyu''s daughter, Qi Luo." when she first met, Lin Zheng felt that Qi Luo''s identity was unusual. Later, Qi Luo was arranged as her assistant, so she was checked a little. The result really surprised her.


    Qiao Nan was surprised. Qi Mingyu''s daughter, Qi Chu''s sister, wasn''t that Sheng Liang''s former girlfriend? She also kidnapped Qiao Xuan and provoked Sheng Liang''s relationship with Qiao Xuan!


    So, at that time, she deliberately appeared in front of her father and won his favor. She even didn''t hesitate to fall out with Qiao Xuan and introduced her to him as his daughter-in-law in order to find a chance to separate Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Nan feels a little guilty. Up to now, Qiao Xuan hasn''t told him about these things. She must be afraid of hurting him.


    His brother is really useless.


    "Qiao Nan, are you all right?" Lin Zheng saw that he looked wrong. He thought he was serious and apologized. "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have said so much."


    Qiao Nan shook her head. "Luckily you told me, otherwise I would still be stupid."


    This sentence Qiao Nan said to Lin Zheng, but also to himself.


    In order to protect his self-esteem, Qiao Xuan secretly doesn''t know how many grievances she has suffered. From small to large, Qiao Xuan is protecting him. Now it''s time for him to protect her.


    "You find an excuse to call my brother-in-law outside." Qiao Nan said holding Lin Zheng''s shoulder.


    Lin Zheng looked at him and didn''t ask much. He made up a reason and took Sheng Liang aside.


    Ziluo remained where she was. She was very satisfied with Sheng Liang''s attitude. She felt that she was one step closer to her goal.


    "Xiao Luo." Qiao Nan shouted and walked towards her.


    Ziluo immediately changed his expression, smiled and asked, "do you want me to do something?"


    "I want to talk to you about private affairs. Come on." Qiao Nan took ziluo''s hand and walked to a place where there was no one.


    Ziluo''s face was reluctant, but it was hard to break free. She looked around and saw that no one paid attention to them.


    Qiao Nan took her to the outdoor platform outside and reached out to hold her: "Xiao Luo, haven''t seen you for so long, do you miss me?"


    Qiluo''s expression was a little disgusted, but she didn''t show it too obviously. Without a trace, she avoided Qiao Nan''s hand, hugged her arm and said, "why do you suddenly think of saying this? Don''t you always pretend not to know me? Are you afraid that I will destroy the good things of you and Lin Zheng?"


    Qiao Nan smiled: "I have a working relationship with Lin Zheng. I like you."


    Ziluo was obviously very useful to these words and looked a little proud, but he still said angrily, "how do I know if what you said is true or false."

 Chapter 288

    "I can do anything for you, as long as you say, let me do anything." Qiao Nan looked sincere.


    Ziluo smiled to herself, then looked at Qiao Nan with her usual innocent expression: "OK, I''ll remember what you said. Don''t go back then."


    "Certainly not." Qiao Nan vowed.


    Ziluo symbolically gave Qiao Nan a hug, which looked like intimacy, but obviously with alienation.


    Qiao Nan seemed to laugh happily.


    This scene was just seen by Lin Zheng who came to Qiao Nan. She clenched her fingers and turned away.


    After Qiao Nan also left, another man walked behind qiluo and asked unhappily, "what''s the relationship between you and Qiao Nan?"


    "What can I do with him? He''s Qiao Xuan''s brother. I think he''s useful, so be polite to him." ziluo''s tone was also a little unhappy. She turned and looked at Cheng rang, "are you doubting me now?"


    Cheng asked hurriedly to shake his head: "no, I just see you holding him together. I feel a little uncomfortable."


    Ziluo took his hand, smiled and said, "no matter what you see, you don''t have to believe that I am your person, always."


    Cheng rang didn''t expect that she would say so. He was very happy. Then he thought of something. He took out his mobile phone to show qiluo a picture above and said, "I saw that Sheng Liang has been looking at this thing, so I took it with my mobile phone. It seems to be an inspection result of Qiao Xuan."


    Ziluo took it and looked at it. Then he smiled: "it''s so. I see how Qiao Xuan can hide this time."


    What Cheng rang photographed was the examination report of Qiao Xuan''s internal brain injury. Ziluo immediately had an idea when he saw this.


    She knew about Qiao Xuan''s pregnancy before. She told Xilin Fu. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan still had brain injury. I want to come. This is what makes Sheng Liang contradictory all the time.


    Since they can''t make a decision, let her help them.


    However, what bothered her was that Qiao Nan had pestered her like a plaster since that day. Coupled with the relationship of work, they were together almost 24 hours a day, and she had no time to do anything else.


    When Lin Zheng finished shooting a scene and was making up in the back, he heard the on-site staff whispering and talking. From time to time, he had to look at her like a good play. Even if she had a good temper, she couldn''t stand it.


    Seeing that she was angry, the makeup girl whispered to her, "sister Lin Zheng, they are all talking about your agent and assistant. Someone saw them in the dressing room --"


    Before Lin Zheng finished listening, he stood up and dragged his costume to the temporary dressing room.


    As soon as I got to the door, I heard a low laugh inside, and then Qiao Nan''s voice said, "don''t be paranoid all day. As I said, I have a working relationship with Lin Zheng. How can I like her."


    Qi Luo looked at the door and knew that Lin Zheng was outside. He deliberately said, "I''m just a little assistant. If she knows, I''ll be driven away."


    "Don''t worry, I''m here," Qiao Nan promised. "She doesn''t dare do anything to you with me."


    That is, as soon as his voice fell, Lin Zheng had pushed the door in and looked at Qiao Nan with a smile: "so you''re here. I said why can''t you find it everywhere. Xiao Luo, I''m a little thirsty. Go and buy me a cup of mandarin duck milk tea. I want to go to the island."


    Lin Zheng added: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the crew''s car is broken. You may have to walk there. I''ll shoot my next play ten minutes later. Come back quickly."


    Qi Luo looked to Qiao Nan for help. Anyone could tell that Lin Zheng was deliberately making trouble for her. It was so far from here and so remote that it was impossible to take a taxi. How about walking? Come back from running so far, where is there any mandarin duck milk tea.


    She thought Qiao Nan was obedient to her. At this time, she will stand up and help her. When he quarrels with Lin Zheng, she can get away.


    Unexpectedly, Qiao Nan actually stood on Lin Zheng''s side and said to her, "then go and buy it. If it affects the progress, it''s not good."


    Qiluo looked at Qiao Nan and wanted to stare a hole in his face, but due to his current identity, he couldn''t directly express his dissatisfaction.


    Looking at ziluo, although he was reluctant, he still had to do it. When he went out, he still had an expression of revenge. Qiao Nan snorted coldly: "I thought I didn''t know what you were thinking and wanted to harm my sister. There''s no way!"


    He heard what ziluo said to Cheng rang without a word. The woman''s heart is really vicious. He used to be blind before he thought she was innocent.


    Didn''t she say she likes her present job? Well, let her have a good taste of what it means to treat someone in his own way!


    Hearing Qiao Nan''s words, Lin Zheng was stunned, but with her intelligence, she immediately guessed what had happened and said unhappily, "Qiao Nan, you are using me."


    Although she said so, she was relieved to know that Qiao Nan had nothing to do with ziluo.


    Especially just now, watching him protect her to speak, ziluo''s face was full of incredible expression. It was also very enjoyable to think about it.


    Qiao Nan just smiled. Originally, she was afraid that she could not explain clearly to Lin Zheng. Unexpectedly, Lin Zheng was smart and understood at a glance. He didn''t have to spend another word.


    "What do you want me to do later, or do you want me to play a vicious female companion?" they are so neat today. Won''t she be fooled again next time?


    Qiao Nan just smiled: "don''t worry, I have another way. By the way, let''s have dinner tonight. My parents want to see you."


    Lin Zheng blushed: "eating is no problem, but what identity should I appear?"


    "Of course... The future daughter-in-law." Qiao Nan smiled brightly, then took out her mobile phone and said, "I have to call my sister and ask her to bring her brother-in-law. They don''t know what''s wrong these two days. They haven''t seen each other for several days. It''s really inconvenient."


    Listening to his tone of voice, like an elder, Lin Zheng smiled: "then you play slowly, I''m going to start."


    Qiao Xuan received a call from Qiao Nan and said she would invite her to have dinner with Sheng Liang. She immediately wanted to refuse, but Qiao Nan seemed to guess what she wanted to say and immediately said, "today is my day to take my girlfriend to see my parents. Don''t regret if you don''t come."


    "Then I''ll go. Sheng Liang is not our family." Qiao Xuan said angrily. He didn''t find her or even send her information after he separated from Sheng Liang that day.


    Qiao Nan sighed and said solemnly, "sister, I understand everything now. I know everything you do for me, and I know what my brother-in-law does for me. If he doesn''t really treat you for such a long time, he doesn''t have to be so good to me and my parents. The so-called love my house and Wu, he has to love your house first, right?"

 Chapter 289

    Qiao Xuan didn''t understand what Qiao Nan said, and she wasn''t really angry with Sheng Liang. The current situation is that Sheng Liang is probably still feeling bad because of what happened that day, so she hasn''t contacted her for several days.


    "Sister, do you sometimes have to change yourself? Don''t always be high above you. Everyone has to bow down to you. There have to be personal exceptions, such as brother-in-law and men have to coax occasionally." although I don''t know what happened this time, it seems that Sheng Liang compromised every time they quarreled in the past. Qiao Xuan is not good at explaining, She won''t be coquettish. This time, Sheng Liang made it clear that she was deliberately hanging her. She didn''t even realize it.


    When she was preached by Qiao Nan for the first time, Qiao Xuan couldn''t hang up. She said angrily, "don''t teach me." so she hung up the phone.


    Although she didn''t want to admit it, Qiao Xuan didn''t know her shortcomings. What happened that day was that she would be blocked in her heart, but she didn''t even have an explanation. She just sent a light floating word and wanted Sheng Liang to think that nothing had happened. Even she couldn''t be so generous.


    Qiaoxuan hesitated for a moment, but still dialed Sheng Liang''s number. He answered it with only a sound. Qiaoxuan suddenly didn''t respond.


    "Why don''t you talk?" Sheng Liang''s voice was calm, but the corners of his lips rose slightly.


    "I want to tell you that Xiaonan will take her girlfriend home at night and he wants you to come." Qiao Xuan''s heart beat faster somehow.


    "Xiao Nan asked me to go. Let me have a look. I don''t necessarily have time." Sheng Liang said deliberately.


    How could Qiao Xuan not understand what he meant? She hurriedly said, "I want you to come. I... I did the wrong thing that day. I''m sorry."


    Sheng Liang looked at the time and the rapidly retrogressive scenery outside. He said in a low voice, "I''m on my way to the airport. It may take four hours to get to sangcheng. It''s probably a little late to go back. You don''t have to wait for me first. I''ll call you when I arrive."


    Only then did Qiao Xuan know that he was not in mulberry city at all. The company was busy enough for him, but she was always worried about gain and loss, which distracted him. Her girlfriend was really unqualified.


    "Be careful on the way. Don''t worry about coming back. Anyway, you haven''t seen his girlfriend." it should be said that you are still familiar with it.


    "That''s different," said Sheng Liang. "See you today. I''m not her boss, but my parents."


    "Well." Qiao Xuan''s voice was shallow, and her face was almost buried in her chest. "I miss you."


    It''s not easy to hear her say these words. Sheng Liang almost thought it was his own illusion. He paused for a while and said, "again, I didn''t hear you clearly."


    "I miss you. I miss you very much." Qiao Xuan always thought she couldn''t say such words. It turned out that she was just unwilling to try. Now it''s not so difficult to say it.


    Sheng Liang lips micro hook: "me too."


    He didn''t deliberately ignore her. The company suddenly asked him to deal with something urgent. He didn''t even have time to call her, so he got on the plane to go abroad. Things were very difficult. He was in a state of meeting all the time when he stopped. It was night here, so he didn''t disturb her to rest.


    Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected harvest. Sheng Liang was very satisfied. He didn''t sleep well for several days. Now he can finally have a rest at ease.


    After hanging up, Qiao Xuan was sweet, as if she had returned to her girlhood.


    Later, she thought about this problem, perhaps because of the shadow of her childhood. She was always used to wrapping herself with cold and was afraid to give her heart to everyone. She was not coquettish, but because she knew that she could only rely on herself, so she slowly put away the posture of those little daughters.


    It is Sheng Liang who makes her willing to try again and deliver her sincerity with another person, not just interest partners.


    Qiao Xuan has a good impression of Lin Zheng. She is smart, quiet and polite. Qiao Nan is a treasure this time.


    When she told the news to Qiao''s parents, they were also very happy and urged each other to book a hotel quickly.


    "Xiaonan said she wouldn''t go to the hotel, just stay at her home." Qiao Xuan took her bag and pulled Qiao''s mother and said, "let''s hurry to buy vegetables now. It''s really too late."


    Qiao''s mother also met Lin Zheng on TV. She has the impression that she is a classical beauty. She knows how to read and be reasonable. It''s really rare to meet at home for the first time.


    Joe''s father followed them, afraid they couldn''t carry so many things.


    After a busy afternoon, he cooked a table of dishes, and Joe''s father specially took out the rare red wine.


    He said he would keep it for the family reunion. Today is really a suitable day.


    When everything was ready, he waited for Qiao nan to bring Lin Zheng back. Sheng Liang should still be on the plane. Qiao Xuan didn''t call him again.


    But they waited at home for a long time, but they didn''t see Qiao Nan come back. They were worried about their parents. Qiao Xuan went aside and quietly called Qiao Nan: "why don''t you come back?"


    "Elder sister, don''t wait. Something happened to Lin Zheng. We''re in the hospital now." Qiao Nan looked at Lin Zheng''s white face and was very distressed. "I won''t tell you. I''ll accompany Lin Zheng."


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly stopped him, asked him which hospital he was, then told her parents and hurried there.


    When Qiao Xuan arrived at the hospital, Lin Zheng had entered the operating room. Qiao Nan said that she had an accident when hanging Weiya on the set and had a lumbar fracture.


    Seeing Qiao Nan hanging her head and frowning tightly, Qiao Xuan realized something and asked softly, "is the fracture very serious?"


    "Elder sister," Qiao Nan took Qiao Xuan''s hand, with a low voice and some helpless, "the doctor said that some fragments oppressed the nerve. After Lin Zheng, he may not be able to stand up all his life."


    The news was really bad. Qiao Xuan asked carefully, "what are your plans?"


    After all, this is a lifetime thing, and if you want to get married, you have to consider the problem that Lin Zheng can''t have children in the future.


    Qiao Nan thought for a moment and said, "if, if I still want to marry her, will you object?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to answer. She simply stood in Qiao Nan''s position. She thought he did the right thing. Men should have such a responsibility.


    But she is just his sister. She can''t guarantee that in the coming decades, in the long and trivial marriage life, he won''t treat her badly because of Lin Zheng''s disability.


    If so, she would rather he give up Lin Zheng today.

 Chapter 290

    "The future is very long. Don''t worry about making a decision. When you consider the worst possible, no matter what you choose, I will support you." Qiao Xuan held Qiao Nan''s hand and smiled at him.


    Qiao Nan nodded.


    Two people have been sitting on the bench outside the operating room, quietly looking at the opposite door.


    After waiting for more than three hours, the door of the operating room finally opened. Qiao Nan immediately went up and helped push the flat car out.


    "The family members talk to the patients," said the nurse, actually letting them see if Lin Zheng''s consciousness is clear.


    Qiao Nan held Lin Zheng''s hand, smiled and said, "I''m ready to propose to you. You should get better soon."


    "Qiao Nan..." on Lin Zheng''s pale face, even her smile was weak, and the tears from the corners of her eyes flowed in along her hair.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the two of them, sighed gently, and then smiled.


    When Qiao Nan looked down at Lin Zheng just now, her gentle eyes reminded her of Sheng Liang.


    That''s the expression that men show only when they treat the woman they like.


    Qiao Nan really grew up and didn''t need her to worry anymore.


    After Qiao Nan accompanied Lin Zheng to the ward, Qiao Xuan also got up to leave, but as soon as she stood up, she saw a familiar figure coming towards her.


    Qiao Xuan''s forehead jumped unconsciously. How could ziluo come here.


    And it seems that it came for her.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan''s defensive appearance, ziluo smiled: "you seem to be afraid of me. Have I done anything bad to you?"


    Ziluo originally belongs to the type with pure appearance. When those eyes laugh, they are so sunny and friendly.


    But Qiao Xuan has experienced her framing design too many times, and now she will believe that she is really stupid.


    "If you''re looking for Sheng Liang, he''s not here." Qiao Xuan didn''t even bother to perfunctory her.


    "I''m not looking for cool, I''m looking for you." ziluo still had that harmless smile. He went to Qiao Xuan and stretched out his finger to poke her stomach. "Are the children in here really cool?"


    When Qiao Xuan stretched out her hand, she hurried away and subconsciously protected her stomach: "what do you want to do!"


    "We both stayed in Xilin Fu''s villa. You know what''s in it. Xilin Fu is such a pervert. He likes you so much. You say he hasn''t touched you for so many days. Who will believe it?" Qi Luo looked at Qiao Xuan pointedly.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was a little ugly. Even Sheng Liang wouldn''t mention that experience in front of her, but ziluo, she said it so easily, and every word stimulated her nerves.


    "It has nothing to do with you. It''s enough for Sheng Liang to believe me." yes, as long as Sheng Liang believes her, what does other people''s eyes matter.


    Ziluo giggled and stared at Qiao Xuan''s expression: "Sheng Liang believes you? If he believes you, he won''t let you take away the child in your belly. For him, this is a wild species with unknown origin!"


    "Shut up!" said Qiao Xuan angrily. "It''s because you can''t get Sheng Liang, so you use this method to provoke our relationship again and again, but you won''t succeed, because Sheng Liang won''t believe you!"


    Ziluo didn''t speak, just looked at Qiao Xuan for a moment, which made Qiao Xuan flustered.


    "In fact, I have something to tell you when I come today." Qi Luo glanced at the ward in front of him casually. "You don''t think that Lin Zheng''s accident is really an accident. The safety work of the crew is not so bad."


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide and couldn''t believe looking at her: "are you moving your hands and feet?"


    "Yes," Qi Luo didn''t deny it at all, and even didn''t know anything wrong in his tone, "I just want to tell her, tell Qiao Nan, and provoke me. That''s the end."


    Qiao Xuan''s palms are cold. Although she knew that qiluo was extremely willful and never considered the consequences when she did anything, she really didn''t expect that she could ruin the rest of Lin Zheng''s life just because she wanted to teach Lin Zheng a lesson!


    Such a person is really terrible!


    Because she was a little excited, Qiao Xuan noticed that her stomach was uncomfortable. She bit her lip and gently stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, trying not to let qiluo find anything: "are you finished showing off? You can go after showing off. Lin Zheng won''t just forget it. We will get justice for her."


    Even if Qiao Xuan covered up well, ziluo came for such a purpose, so she couldn''t see it.


    She simply sat down in the chair next to her and swung her feet around like a little girl: "I''m willing to cooperate with you, so I''ll be here waiting for you to get justice."


    The pain in the lower abdomen was like a knife twist, which made Qiao Xuan sweat in a moment. She had a hunch of something and was very afraid. She sat down and called Sheng Liang, but there was a prompt that she had turned off.


    He must still be on the plane.


    Qiao Xuan thought of Rococo and turned over Rococo''s number, but she hadn''t dialed out yet. Ziluo suddenly robbed her mobile phone: "if you want help, save it. I came to see how you lost the child."


    Qiao Xuan wants to get it back, but her stomach hurts so much that she can''t do anything except take a breath.


    Her stomach hurt more and more. She couldn''t sit still in the chair and her body kept sliding to the ground.


    There happened to be a nurse passing by. Qiao Xuan grabbed it and said intermittently: "help me... Find... Rococo... Doctor..."


    The nurse was still in a daze. Qiluo went up and broke Qiao Xuan''s hand, smiled and said to the nurse, "don''t worry, thank you. My sister is mentally ill and always likes to talk nonsense."


    The nurse seemed to understand what she meant and ran away.


    Qiao Xuan really had no strength at all. She fell and sat on the ground. One arm was still on the bench, the other hand pressed her stomach and said, "qiluo, if my child has something to do, I''ll let you be buried!"


    "What''s the use of saying this," ziloh said, sitting there with a look to the world. "I''ve done so many bad things, and a group of people want to kill me. If they were fulfilled on me one by one, I wouldn''t live now."


    Pain, waves of pain swept Qiao Xuan like waves. She couldn''t hear what ziluo was saying. She just wanted her children to be strong.


    She really doesn''t want to experience the pain of losing her child again.


    But it seems that, contrary to her wishes, when she was convulsing with pain, she suddenly felt a heat flow gushing out of her lower body.

 Chapter 291

    Qiao Xuan suddenly had a blank in her mind. This time, it turned out to be so again?


    Ziluo looked at her, the pride in her eyes was so obvious. She got down from the chair, squatted in front of Qiao Xuan, pressed Qiao Xuan''s shoulder with one hand, covered Qiao Xuan''s hand on her lower abdomen with the other hand, and exerted a little force: "cool doesn''t care about your child at all. He just wants me and his child."


    The pain of hard pulling has made Qiao Xuan unable to think about ziluo''s words. She just instinctively tried her best to push ziluo away: "I won''t... Believe you..."


    Ziluo ignored it and kept adding strength, as if he wanted to crush Qiao Xuan''s body.


    "Gorgeous son!" Sheng Liang saw this scene when he turned the corner. He felt tight in his heart and ran over immediately.


    Ziluo heard Sheng Liang''s voice and her back stiffened, but her face still looked like normal. She stood up and made way for Sheng Liang. "She suddenly said she had a stomachache. I''ll rub it for her."


    Sheng Liang saw the blood on Qiao Xuan''s pants when he was close. He quickly picked her up. From beginning to end, he didn''t even look at Qi Luo.


    Ziluo also didn''t expect that Sheng Liang would come back in advance, but it seems that the child in Qiao Xuan''s belly can''t live.


    The corners of her lips were slightly hooked, showing a harmless smile.


    Qiao Xuan tightly grabbed Sheng Liang''s clothes and said with a pale face, "Sheng Liang, help me keep this child..."


    Sheng Liang looked down at her, frowning, his thin lips tightly pursed, but he didn''t answer her.


    Qiao Xuan thought of ziluo''s words, and her heart was half cold. He really didn''t like the child?


    Sheng Liang quickly took Qiao Xuan to the doctor and carefully put her on the bed. The nurse pulled the curtain and said, "family members go out and wait."


    Sheng Liang retreated from the inside, and his clothes were stained with bright red blood.


    Outside the door, you can hear Qiao Xuan''s unbearable groans. Sheng Liang''s hand hung on one side and clenched it tightly.


    He called Rococo and asked her to go in to see the situation. After a long time, Rococo came out of it and said to him, "don''t worry first, it''s just a threatened abortion. Because of the last abortion, her body was greatly hurt and the uterine wall is very thin. Therefore, even if she can barely keep it, the bigger the month, the harder it will be."


    Sheng Liang was silent and didn''t speak for a long time.


    "Knock it off, the child can''t have it." Sheng Liang hesitated for a long time and finally said.


    Qiao Xuan opened the door from the inside and heard this sentence as soon as she came out. Her heart was like falling into an abyss.


    "Qiao Xuan, how did you get out?" Rococo saw Qiao Xuan covering her stomach with one hand and leaning against the door. She would fall down at any time. She subconsciously looked at Sheng Liang and hurriedly went to help her.


    Qiao Xuan''s face was white, and her lower abdomen was still in pain, but it couldn''t reach one tenth of the heartache.


    "Since you don''t like this child so much, I won''t force you to accept it, but from now on, you have nothing to do with me and this child." Qiao Xuan''s voice was cold and there was no temperature.


    Rococo knows what''s going on here. Hearing what Qiao Xuan said, she was a little anxious. She quickly stretched out her hand and pulled Sheng Liang down, motioning him to explain to Qiao Xuan.


    Now, Sheng Liang has no way to explain. Besides, even if Qiao Xuan knows, she won''t take away the child.


    It''s even possible that she doesn''t want to drag him down and may disappear directly from his world.


    "Gorgeous son, you listen to me, just this time, okay?" Sheng Liang''s tone was almost begging.


    Qiao Xuan sneered and tears fell uncontrollably: "I know what you''re thinking. Since you don''t believe me, don''t pretend in front of me. I don''t need it."


    "Gorgeous son -" Sheng Liang reached out to help him.


    "You let go, don''t touch me!" Qiao Xuan was a little excited, and her strength was used more. When she pulled to the pain, her face was pale again, and her body couldn''t help sliding down.


    Sheng Liang, no matter how she pushed him or hit him, picked her up and was about to go to the operating room.


    "Sheng Liang, you can''t!" the body has no ability to resist. Qiao Xuan can only make the final resistance with her will. "This is really your child!"


    "I know." he naturally did not doubt this.


    Qiao Xuan said, "then why..."


    "I''ll tell you. Let''s finish the operation first. Be good." Sheng Liang coaxed her softly.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head and tightened her fingers on his clothes: "you say it now, or I won''t forgive you!"


    Even if he did, she wouldn''t forgive him.


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak again. He put her on the bed in the operating room again and said to the doctor, "give her anesthesia."


    How could Qiao Xuan be obediently at his mercy, struggling to sit up, but before she got up, Sheng Liang pressed her shoulder on the bed.


    "Sheng Liang, please, I don''t care about anything. I just want this child!" seeing Sheng Liang so determined, Qiao Xuan began to cry and beg.


    "Don''t care about anything," Sheng Liang''s eyes were a little dark, "don''t even care about me?"


    Seeing Sheng Liang''s expression, Qiao Xuan suddenly felt a pain in her heart and gently shook her head: "no..."


    Sheng Liang kissed her forehead and said, "listen, we can have other children in the future."


    Qiao Xuan kept shaking her head, watching Sheng Liang press her hand, watching the doctor inject anesthetic into her body, and tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes.


    Qiao Xuan''s body soon lost consciousness, but her consciousness was very clear. She felt that her heart was like a hole gouged out and the wind poured coldly into it.


    Sheng Liang watched her calm down, but his eyes also lost their look, but even if she hated him, he had to do so.


    He came out of the operating room. Ziluo, who didn''t know where he had gone before, came over and asked in a low voice, "how''s she?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer, but stood there blankly.


    "Let''s wait over there," said Zillo, holding his arm.


    Sheng Liang didn''t refuse. He walked away slowly and sat on the bench next to him,


    Ziluo glanced at the door of the operating room and saw a nurse go in. She slowly sat next to Sheng Liang.


    The distance between them is very close, which is the distance ziluo hasn''t been close for a long time.


    "Is something wrong with Qiao Xuan?" ziluo was very worried, but he was very happy. Looking at Sheng Liang''s expression, he knew that Qiao Xuan''s child must be out of control.


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer her question, but asked, "I''ve never asked you what you''ve experienced in Xilin Fu''s villa. Now I want to know. Tell me."


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s words, ziluo turned pale and said softly, "I don''t want to mention those things."


    "Xiao Luo, I didn''t want to explain to you about your father and Qi Chu, but now, I think I need to make it clear to you," Sheng Liang finally turned to look at her. "Qi Chu was killed by Xilin Fu''s random stick in front of me. As for your father, he was trapped by Xilin Fu and then killed by Xilin Fu."

 Chapter 292

    Ziluo opened his eyes, his fingers trembled unconsciously, then lowered his head and didn''t speak for a long time.


    Sheng Liang continued: "Qiao Xuan and I were together after you disappeared. At that time, I thought you were dead, so it didn''t exist. I betrayed you and had nothing to do with Qiao Xuan. You can''t say what happened to you in Xilin Fu, and I won''t ask again. I help you find a job. I hope you can start again. We have no relationship and don''t owe each other."


    Qi Luo broke his slender fingers back and forth, with a bitter smile on his face: "in the final analysis, you told me this, or for Qiao Xuan. Do you know that Lin Zheng''s accident is related to me, and Qiao Xuan''s child''s abortion is also related to me, right?"


    Sheng Liang is noncommittal.


    Ziluo sneered: "Sheng Liang, I tell you, I don''t love you anymore. I came to you this time to revenge. It has nothing to do with the death of my father and my brother. I just want you to taste the taste of losing your favorite!"


    Sheng Liang sighed: "Xiao Luo..."


    Ziluo suddenly smiled: "now I have succeeded. No matter your child or Qiao Xuan, you will lose. Oh, including the prosperous age, it will no longer be yours."


    Sheng Liang suddenly realized something. He immediately stood up and walked towards the operating room, opened the door, saw the nurse running to the door, and looked flustered when he went in.


    He went over them, opened the curtain, saw that the operating bed was empty, and immediately asked, "where are people?"


    His tone was bitterly cold. The nurse couldn''t help shivering and said tremblingly: "just now two people came and took Miss Qiao away..."


    Xilin Fu, Xilin Fu again!


    Sheng Liang''s fist heart clenched tightly, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and the coldness at the bottom of his eyes became more and more cold.


    He stood for a while and suddenly thought of something. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to a number. He didn''t look better until he replied.


    When he came out of the operating room, he saw that ziluo was still there and didn''t look at her any more, so he walked to one side.


    Unexpectedly, ziluo ran to block his way and said in her usual coquettish tone, "cool, in fact, I can ignore the previous things. As long as you marry me and I get it back for you in the prosperous age, I can also have children for you and have many, many children in the future."


    "Roll." Sheng Liang didn''t raise his eyes, but said softly.


    "Cool..." qiluo wanted to pull Sheng Liang''s hand.


    But Sheng Liang immediately threw away: "I''ve made it very clear to you. From now on, don''t appear in front of me again, and don''t let me know what you''re doing behind your back, otherwise --"


    Sheng Liang frowned, and his voice became colder: "I''ll send you back to Xilin Fu. In this life, you don''t want to come out of that place again!"


    Qiluo saw Sheng Liang''s angry eyes and wanted to tear her apart. She couldn''t help shivering and watched Sheng Liang walk past her without saying a word.


    However, she won''t just forget it. She can care nothing, but she must get Sheng Liang. She also knows what she should do. As long as Sheng Shi is in her hand, Sheng Liang will change his mind.


    Sheng Liang drove to a house on the outskirts of the city. The house was in a mountain depression, surrounded by flower fields, just like a paradise.


    Sheng Liang originally wanted to live here with Qiao Xuan after everything was over, but now the situation is special, he can''t care to surprise her.


    Sheng Liang gets out of the car, walks to the house, pushes open the door and sees Xu Yi coming down from upstairs.


    He just sent a message to Xu Yi. Xu Yi is Xilin Fu''s driver. Even if Xilin Fu doesn''t trust him, at least he may have some information.


    Unexpectedly, Xilin Fu really asked Xu Yi to pick up Qiao Xuan this time, which saved him a lot of trouble.


    However, after this time, Xu Yi can''t go back.


    "Liang Shao, Miss Qiao is fine. I arranged a special nurse to take care of her." Xu Yi said, still respectful.


    Sheng Liang patted him on the shoulder: "thank you."


    He really thanked Xu Yi. In that case, if he changed someone, he didn''t know what would happen to Qiao Xuan.


    Xu Yi lowered his head as if he couldn''t bear it: "cool little, this is me..."


    And he will say, he owes him, and he is atoning.


    Sheng Liang didn''t wait for him to finish, so he said, "Xu Yi, don''t say this in the future. It has nothing to do with you. Also, don''t go back to Xilin Fu."


    "Liang Shao, I have a way to explain." Xu Yi said hurriedly. He finally won Xilin Fu''s trust. It''s a pity to let go.


    Sheng Liang waved his hand and told Xu Yi not to say any more. He was very clear about Xilin Fu''s means, especially for those who betrayed themselves, and would never spare Xu Yi.


    Besides, now that Roger is injured, he also needs someone here to protect Qiao Xuan. Cheng rang, he just has other uses.


    Sheng Liang went upstairs, pushed open the door of the room and saw Qiao Xuan lying in bed. Her anesthetic hadn''t woken up and her face was a little pale.


    Count the time. The operation should not have started yet. The child is still there.


    Sheng Liang doesn''t know whether he is relieved or more worried about Qiao Xuan''s body.


    "You go out first." Sheng Liang said to the nurse.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly opened her eyes when she heard Sheng Liang''s voice. Her face was in a panic. Her hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen: "my child..."


    Sheng Liang hurriedly pressed her hand and covered her cold hand under his palm: "the child is still there."


    Qiao Xuan closed her eyes and showed her relief after the false alarm. After a long time, her mind gradually woke up, looked around and asked, "where is this?"


    "You''ll live here in the future." Sheng Liang lowered his head and kissed her fingertips. "It''s safe here."


    Qiao Xuan only remembers that he pressed her on the operating table and asked the doctor to anesthetize her. Now he took her to a strange place. She doesn''t know what he wants.


    "Have you changed your mind?" Qiao Xuan is still looking forward to it. She doesn''t believe that Sheng Liang will really treat her like that.


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer. He didn''t change his mind, but he didn''t say it because he was afraid that Qiao Xuan was excited.


    But even if he didn''t say it, Qiao Xuan wouldn''t know when she looked at his expression: "Sheng Liang, I have to tell you that I can''t be separated from this child. If you don''t want this child, you will lose it with me."


    She was by no means threatening him. That''s what she thought.


    Sheng Liang grasped her hand and looked deeply into her eyes. He was afraid that she would do something drastic when she was excited: "gorgeous son, listen to me, even if the child could have wanted it, it can''t now. You''ve been anesthetized, which will do great harm to the child, so..."

 Chapter 293

    Qiao Xuan''s eyes opened wide, like a fool. There was no focus in her eyes. After a while, she suddenly fell big tears, bit her lips and cried.


    She had never experienced such despair and powerlessness, and this despair was given to her by her favorite person.


    Sheng Liang looked distressed, hugged her tightly and said sorry.


    The most time he said these three words in his life was when he forced Qiao Xuan to give up the child.


    Qiao Xuan cried until she fainted, but her hand still clung to Sheng Liang''s clothes. Even at this time, Sheng Liang was still her most reliable person in her subconscious mind.


    Sheng Liang understood, so he felt sorry for her. If he could have the best of both worlds, he was willing to pay any price.


    Considering Qiao Xuan''s current mood and physical condition, Sheng Liang didn''t take her to have an abortion immediately. He also accompanied her as much as possible in those days.


    But Qiao Xuan never said a word to him since that day. Her eyes were dull, and the whole person seemed to lose her look at once.


    "Hua''er, have some porridge." Sheng Liang scooped a spoonful, blew it gently, and then handed it to her lips.


    Qiao Xuan slightly tilted her head and dodged. She looked at her side, but her sight didn''t fall in reality.


    "If you don''t like this, let''s change it." Sheng Liang coaxed softly, pulled her head and wanted to feed her with his mouth.


    Seeing him like this, Qiao Xuan was even more disgusted. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away: "how can you be so indifferent? You killed our children!"


    "I promise not next time," Sheng Liang continued coaxing patiently and insisted on holding her. "You take good care of your body. Next time we will have a healthy child."


    Qiao Xuan pushed him harder: "don''t you think this is familiar? You said so at the beginning. I was too stupid to be cheated by you again and again!"


    "Hua''er," Sheng Liang lowered his head and wanted to kiss her lips, "there really won''t be another time -"


    Seeing what he said, the fire and grievances in Qiao Xuan''s heart immediately rushed up, pushed him away, raised his hand and slapped him: "I won''t believe your nonsense anymore!"


    Sheng Liang knew how hard she hit and how deep the injury in her heart was. He owed her.


    He stopped for a while and continued to feed her: "drink more. If you don''t eat, you won''t have the strength to hit me."


    "Get out." she had nothing to say to him, and didn''t want to waste any more words.


    Sheng Liang still didn''t move: "I see you drink the porridge and go immediately."


    Qiao Xuan''s chest fluctuated a few times, took the bowl from his hand, drank it all at once and said, "now you can go out!"


    "Well." Sheng Liang stood up, "you sleep."


    How could Qiao Xuan sleep, but she just lost her temper with Sheng Liang. She had a headache and somehow went to sleep on the bed.


    Sheng Liang went downstairs. Xu Yi immediately greeted him and said, "Xilin called me again. I had arranged a woman and sent it to the place he said. He hasn''t found it yet. Liang Shao, I can still find a reason to explain."


    Sheng Liang understood what he meant, but now, he didn''t need to let Xu Yi take the risk: "no, there''s something else for you to do."


    Now, there is no need to leave room between him and Xilin Fu.


    In a top private room in Linglan club.


    Xinier looked at the beautiful thing wearing only a Tulle on the sofa. His Adam''s apple couldn''t help rolling up and down, and his lips were dry. He pulled off his tie, licked his lips, and walked slowly over.


    The woman on the sofa had already sat up when he was just getting close. She hooked his neck and breathed in his ear like LAN: "I seem to have been drugged. Please help me..."


    Xinier has always been wary of beautiful women, but this woman, with a pitiful touch between her eyebrows and eyes, made him unconsciously arouse the man''s desire for protection. He leaned over and pressed the woman on the sofa and asked in a dumb voice, "what''s her name?"


    "Ziluo." the woman accepted his kiss on the neck, but there was no confusion in her black eyes.


    Zillo


    Sinair recited the name, which he had never heard of.


    Qi Mingyu used to protect her daughter so well that she never appeared in public view. It''s not surprising that Xinier hasn''t heard of it.


    Two people from the sofa has been entangled to the ground, after some ups and downs, ziluo hugged his body and shrank in a corner of the sofa, sobbing in a low voice.


    Such an aggrieved appearance always makes men feel that they have taken advantage of the great advantage, and there is a high sense of achievement.


    Xinier put on his clothes, sat on ziluo''s side, touched her hair and said, "be my woman. I''ll give you whatever you want."


    "Really?" ziluo looked at him innocently with a pair of rippling eyes.


    "Of course it''s true." Xinier took out his cell phone, called the assistant, asked the assistant to send a woman''s dress in, handed it to ziluo and said, "put it on and come with me."


    Zillo still pretended to be frightened, like a teenage girl, who was completely at a loss when she met this expression.


    Xinier personally drove her to a house and said, "you''ll live here in the future and try not to go out. I won''t come every day, but I''ll inform you before coming."


    "Oh." Zillo lowered her head timidly. She didn''t raise her head until Xinier left, with a trace of contempt on her lips.


    The foreign man really regarded her as an underground lover.


    After confirming that Xinier had left, ziluo called xilinfu and said directly, "help me prepare the contract. I have a way to get Xinier to sign it."


    "Have you finished him so soon?" Xilin sneered. "It''s really the person I trained."


    Xilin''s only word is enough to fight ziluo''s pride back to hell.


    Ziluo clenched his teeth, but his tone did not change: "your words still count. You promised to give me the prosperity."


    "Of course," Xilin Fu sat in the RV with his legs folded, "I''m not interested in that mess."


    All he wants is Qiao Xuan. Now Qiao Xuan is in his hand. He doesn''t care about the rest.


    However, he would not let ziluo get what he wanted so easily.


    He doesn''t care about prosperity, but Sheng Liang cares. He still wants to keep it and see Sheng Liang fawning on him.


    He bought the house specially for Qiao Xuan. A large area of lavender was planted in the yard. She said she liked it.


    A maid opened the door for him. Xilin went in, threw his suit and coat to the maid, and went upstairs to the master bedroom.


    There was a thin ball in the quilt of the big bed. Xilin Fu''s look softened. He sat by the bed and whispered, "I said earlier that you can''t escape."

 Chapter 294

    The body in the quilt trembled, and even made the sound of clucking and grinding the upper and lower gums, as if it had been frightened to the extreme.


    Xilin frowned and suddenly opened the quilt. She saw that the person in the quilt was Liu Linna!


    Liu Linna''s face can no longer be described as pale. Her eyes are full of panic. Her body curls up like shrimp. She is so angry with Shang Xilin that her voice is too light to hear: "yes... Sorry, I don''t know..."


    She really doesn''t know what''s going on. She obviously went to seduce Xu Yi. She knows that Xilin Fu trusts Xu Yi very much recently, so she wants to go back to Lanxi through him.


    But she woke up drunk and found herself in a strange room. When she was ready to leave, she saw Xilin Fu coming in from the door. She knew that this was Xilin Fu''s house.


    She appears here without permission. Xilin Fu will not spare her. Moreover, the tone he spoke just now probably only used that tone when he spoke to Qiao Xuan.


    She suddenly understood that she was calculated by Xu Yi!


    When Xilin Fu saw it was her, he understood everything. He stood up and kicked the table next to him. His eyes were about to burst out fire: "Xu Yi!"


    Xu Yi walked straight into the hall of Shengshi in a suit and went straight to the elevator. Maybe it was because of his temperament. When he entered the elevator, others thought he was an employee here. Unexpectedly, there were female staff who took the initiative to greet him, and he responded with a smile.


    When he came out of the elevator and saw him walking towards the walking ladder, the female clerk who had just greeted him was surprised and said, "are you on the 35th floor, too?"


    Xu Yi nodded and saw that there was a safety door at the top of the stairs. He smiled and said, "by the way, my first day at work today, can you press the password for me?"


    Xu Yi himself is the type of warm man, and his voice is also very pleasant to listen to. When he said this, the female staff immediately blushed: "are you the new creative director?"


    Xu Yi just smiled and neither admitted nor denied it.


    As the female clerk said this, she had gone over and pressed the password, and the security door opened.


    Xinier''s current office was formerly Shengliang. Although Xu Yi was not around Shengliang at that time, he knew the layout here like the back of his hand.


    He walked to the door of the office without stopping, knocked twice, and heard the people inside say, "come in."


    He slowly pushed the door in and went to Xinier''s desk: "Mr. Xinier."


    At this time, Xinier looked up at him, because other people are not allowed to come in here, and he doesn''t know this person at all, and the Secretary didn''t tell him that there are guests: "who are you?"


    "I''m Mr. Xilin Fu''s driver. My name is Xu Yi." Xu Yi replied politely.


    "Xilin Fu?" Xinier obviously showed disbelief in his eyes. He scratched his mobile phone with his fingers and asked, "what''s the matter with your boss?"


    "Our husband decided to buy Shengshi," Xu Yi said in a deep voice.


    Xinier''s finger paused. Although Lanxi was also interested in acquiring, Xilin Fu didn''t publicly say that their purpose was to force Sheng Liang to offer a higher price than before, so they tacitly understood each other.


    Now Xilin Fu really wants to buy it?


    When information came in, Xinier saw that it was a survey result about Xu Yi. On the list of employees in Lanxi that had not been changed in time, Xu Yi was indeed Xilin Fu''s driver. That''s right.


    This is also the reason why Sheng Liang urgently asked Xu Yi to do it first. When Xilin reacts, Xu Yi''s identity can no longer be used.


    Xinier put down his mobile phone, looked at Xu Yi and asked, "I want to know first how much your boss plans to buy Shengshi?"


    "100 billion," Xu Yi said calmly.


    Xinier''s blue eyes widened in an instant. This was the price given by Shengshi at the beginning, but he was cheated by Shengliang at that time. Now, people with clear eyes can see the situation of Shengshi. Especially for a smart man like Xilin Fu, would he buy such a Shengshi back at the original price?


    Seeing that Xinier was unmoved, Xu Yi said, "what is Mr. Xinier afraid of? We are afraid of breaking our promise in black and white?"


    Xinier is a little afraid, because he knows too well that businessmen will not do business at a loss. He thinks that Xilin Fu is afraid of some conspiracy.


    Xu Yi''s words obviously stimulated him: "what am I afraid of!"


    As long as the contract is signed with the clause that Xilin Fu will take Lanxi as collateral if he defaults, he doesn''t have to be afraid that Xilin Fu will cheat.


    Xu Yi looked at his relaxed face and seemed to have an idea. His lips were slightly hooked: "please, Mr. sinair. Our husband has been waiting for you in the hotel. At the same time, we also invited reporters from major media to witness this historic moment."


    Hearing that there were reporters present, Xinier relaxed his guard and planned to call the inside line to ask the assistant to inform the company''s senior management.


    But as soon as he picked up the phone, Xu Yi immediately said, "well, Mr. Xinier, before the press release, our boss doesn''t want this matter to leak out, because you know, the boss is afraid that Sheng Liang will hinder us from signing the contract. Therefore, can you just bring your assistant first, and then call your senior person in charge after we implement it on the documents later?"


    Although these words are full of loopholes after careful analysis, Xinier is really eager to make a hot potato in the prosperous age. Moreover, by attributing the reason to Sheng Liang, Xinier believed it even more.


    Xinier nodded, took only his assistant and followed Xu Yi into the car.


    After getting off the bus at the largest business hotel in sangcheng, Xu Yi took them inside. In the downstairs hall, Xinier saw that there were indeed a large number of reporters waiting, and his doubts were completely eliminated.


    At the door of the conference hall, Xu Yi said to them, "please turn off your mobile phone or turn it to silent."


    It''s normal to make such a request on this occasion, so Xinier didn''t doubt anything and turned off his mobile phone directly.


    Xu Yi opens the door and makes a gesture of invitation to them. Xinier and his assistant go in and see a man sitting on the signing table, but the man is not Xilin Fu, but Sheng Liang.


    "Long time no see, Xinier." Sheng Liang put down the document in his hand, held it in his hands, and looked at Xinier with a smile in his eyes.


    Xinier and the assistant looked at each other, and they both realized something immediately. The assistant said, "please explain what''s going on."


    Sheng Liang slowly came down from above and said in a deep voice, "as you can see, I am the one who invited you to the signing ceremony."

 Chapter 295

    As soon as Xinier heard Sheng Liang''s words, he immediately said angrily, "you''re kidding me!"


    The assistant pulled him and motioned him to leave quickly. As soon as he turned around, he saw that the door had been closed and Xu Yi stood by the door.


    "What do you mean, Mr. Sheng?" the assistant asked soberly.


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak and handed a contract to him: "Shengshi is the foundation of our Sheng family. I must take it back, but I didn''t let you two come today for Shengshi."


    The assistant opened the contract and looked at it. He was surprised: "is this an offer of employment?"?


    Sheng Liang nodded: "as Mr. He saw, I am willing to hire Mr. He as the executive vice president of our company, with an annual salary of 1.5 million and 5% equity."


    The assistant''s face was obviously shaken. It was not just about money. Sheng Liang''s generous treatment showed that he valued his ability.


    Xinier was furious when he heard Sheng Liang''s words. He not only cheated him here, but also dug his corner in front of him!


    "Sheng Liang! Don''t go too far. You don''t want to sign any contract today!" said Xinier. He grabbed the contract from his assistant and tore it to pieces.


    Sheng Liang said calmly: "it doesn''t matter. I still have a lot of such contracts. You can tear them up at will, but I want to tell you one thing. No one will want the current prosperity except me. Don''t you know what Xilin Fu''s purpose is? If I really let go now, guess what he will do?"


    Xinier grits his teeth, but he can''t argue. Xilin Fu, such a smart man, has no sense of competition. It is estimated that he will turn over immediately.


    "In fact, I have no need to go back to the prosperous age now. Feileng jade has been on the right track. My father still has 100 billion yuan. We are fully capable of turning the current feileng jade into another prosperous age. I do this now because we Chinese like to talk about feelings and read Ben." Sheng Liang looks at Xinier, "Also, for the sake of friendship between Mr. Xinier and my wife, I can''t let Mr. Xinier lose his head in the family because of this matter."


    Xinier was gnashing his teeth and his eyes were almost angry. If Sheng Liang hadn''t cheated him at the beginning, why would he end up in the family and talk to him about friendship? It''s really cheap and good!


    The assistant whispered, "we have no other way. We''d better do as Mr. Sheng said."


    Xinier is just reckless and impulsive, not stupid. Naturally, he knows that his assistant has been bought by Sheng Liang. Now he must be on Sheng Liang''s side.


    But he also knew that Sheng Liangfu was right. Xilin Fu certainly didn''t really want to buy Shengshi. He couldn''t count on it at all.


    Moreover, the person in power of his family is now critically ill. There is a fierce struggle for inheritance within the family. Before, he has lost his trust because of the prosperous times. If he makes another mistake this time, his identity as an heir will soon be questioned, and things will be more troublesome at that time.


    It''s better to solve the matter here and return to Germany as soon as possible.


    Xinier thought about this. Although he was very unwilling, he could only compromise. As long as he got the inheritance right, there will be time to compete with Sheng Liang in the future!


    As soon as Xinier nodded and agreed, Xu Yi informed the following reporters, and Xinier''s assistant also informed the senior management of the company.


    Although the signing ceremony was hasty, the scene was not small because Sheng Liang had planned for a long time. Everyone who should have arrived arrived, and it was still broadcast live.


    Ziluo was foolish to see it on TV. She wanted to take Qiao Xuan''s business and let Xilin Fu give her the prosperous age. For this purpose, she even sold herself to Xinier. Unexpectedly, Sheng Liang got the prosperous age first. In this way, she didn''t even have the chips to make Sheng Liang change her mind at last.


    She immediately called Xilin Fu. Xilin Fu was also watching the signing ceremony on TV at that time. He saw it was ziluo and didn''t answer it at all. This stupid woman wouldn''t even know where Qiao Xuan was hidden if it wasn''t for her bad idea.


    He never thought that Xu Yi was Sheng Liang''s man. It seems that Xinier''s promise to sign this contract is also related to Xu Yi.


    How much chess did Sheng Liang bury?


    Xilin Fu squinted at the screen and saw an unexpected person. A sneer escaped from his lips.


    Ziluo couldn''t get through the phone and wanted to go to the scene. She thought Xilin Fu had taken Qiao Xuan away. Even if she didn''t have a prosperous age, she still had a chance.


    After signing the agreement, Sheng Liang took a photo with Xinier, arranged the evening reception and invited senior executives from both companies to attend.


    Cheng rang asked Sheng Liang, "would you like to invite Miss Qiao for such an important occasion?"


    Sheng Liang nodded: "OK, then go and pick her up. I''ll send you the address."


    Cheng rang immediately went out and came out of the hotel door. He happened to meet qiluo. His face was excited: "Why are you here?"


    Although ziluo didn''t want to talk to him very much, anyway, he was still around Sheng Liang, so he said perfunctorily, "it''s all right. I''ll walk around. What are you going to do?"


    "Mr. Sheng asked me to pick up Miss Qiao." Cheng rang said it on purpose. He just wanted qiluo to recognize the facts. No matter how much she entangled, Sheng Liang had only Qiao Xuan in his heart and no place for her at all.


    "Qiao Xuan?" ziluo was shocked. Sheng Liang knew that Qiao Xuan had been taken away by Xilin Fu''s people that day. Now he asked Cheng rang to pick up Qiao Xuan. Did he find Qiao Xuan?


    She suddenly understood. No wonder Xilin refused to answer her phone again. It turned out that he didn''t get Qiao Xuan at all.


    Ziluo hated. She calculated for so long and paid so much, but in the end, she got nothing.


    "Xiao Luo, come with me. Although I can''t make you rich, I will never let you suffer. I promise to treat you all my life..."


    Qi Luo didn''t listen to Cheng rang''s words at all. Before he finished, he interrupted him: "you just said that Sheng Liang asked you to pick up Qiao Xuan. Where do you pick it up?"


    It seems that only when she makes Qiao Xuan disappear forever can she have a chance to be with Sheng Liang.


    Cheng rang seemed to know what she was thinking, so he didn''t answer.


    Ziluo was impatient and heard Cheng rang''s cell phone ring. When he looked down, she immediately grabbed it. She saw that it was Sheng Liangfa. It should be where Qiao Xuan is now. She immediately dragged Cheng rang and said, "OK, as long as you help me out, go wherever you say."


    Cheng rang believed it without hesitation, got her in the car and soon drove to that place.


    Qiao Xuan heard someone knocking at the door, got out of bed, opened the door, and saw the man standing at the door, but she was stunned.

 Chapter 296

    Because only Sheng Liang knew about this place, Qiao Xuan subconsciously thought it was Sheng Liang who came back when she heard the knock on the door. When she opened the door and saw Xu Yi outside, she was slightly stunned: "Xu Yi?"


    Xu Yi appeared in the hospital that day. She knew that Xilin Fu wanted to take her away. Fortunately, Xu Yi didn''t do what he said, but informed Sheng Liang.


    Compared with Sheng Liang, she is naturally more reluctant to go to Xilin Fu, so from the bottom of her heart, she thanks Xu Yi, and she also knows what he has paid for it.


    He did so many things to gain Xilin Fu''s trust, because she must have fallen short of success, otherwise he wouldn''t appear here openly now.


    "Liang Shao asked me to protect Miss Qiao." Xu Yi''s tone was still not urgent.


    Qiao Xuan smiled bitterly: "he asked you to look at me."


    In fact, even if Xu Yi doesn''t come, she can''t escape from here. The security systems here are intelligent unless Sheng Liang disarms the alarm himself.


    Xu Yi didn''t retort. Sheng Liang told him that no matter what Qiao Xuan said or did, as long as she stayed here safely, she didn''t care about anything else.


    And the most important thing is that today''s signing ceremony was originally a game, which was carefully planned by Sheng Liang to completely defeat Xilin Fu. His energy was put there, so he was more worried that Qiao Xuan would not take it into account and be exploited by Xilin Fu.


    Xu Yi is also worried about Sheng Liang, but he knows that Qiao Xuan is Sheng Liang''s biggest weakness. Protect her so that Sheng Liang can have no worries.


    Qiao Xuan is in bad health and mood, so she doesn''t have the energy to greet Xu Yi more. Let him help himself, so she goes back to her room and lies down again.


    What they don''t know is that after Xu Yi left the hotel, Xilin really went to find Sheng Liang.


    At that time, the reporters had just left. The staff of the hotel were cleaning the venue. Sheng Liang sat in a chair and was not surprised to see him.


    "You''re late. The signing ceremony has just ended." Sheng Liang said faintly.


    "You''re here to wait for me?" Xilin grinned, but said with a smile. "I don''t care about the mess of Shengshi. However, you haven''t played a role in inserting Xu Yian around me. Don''t you feel pity for being so exposed?"


    "It may be a pity for you. For me, this is the best result." Sheng Liang stood up and walked to him. "No matter what happened before, from now on, Qiao Xuan has nothing to do with you. Don''t try to get close to her. This is my advice to you."


    When Sheng Liang said this, his tone was so light that he didn''t seem to be threatening, but his eyes were so fierce that people trembled.


    Xilin Fu didn''t care at all. He sat down in a nearby chair and naturally folded his legs: "don''t say how affectionate you are. If you were allowed to choose between the company and her, would you choose her?"


    Sheng Liang looked at him: "I won''t go to let myself make this choice, and I won''t give you another chance to take anything from me."


    "You''re really confident." Xilin Fu sneered. Seeing that the staff nearby had left, he said to Sheng Liang, "this place is good. Let''s take it as our training ground and decide the victory or defeat."


    Ten years ago, when Xilin Fu was his instructor, he never said such words to him, because he designed it when he finally left. Xilin Fu must have been waiting for a long time.


    "OK, stay with me to the end." the two of them, about ten years ago, were doomed to such an end, either you or me.


    Xilin Fu was really cruel. He tried his best every time and almost kicked Sheng Liang''s temple several times.


    "It''s a mistake for you to leave Cheng rang behind. He should have found Qiao Xuan now." Xilin smiled grimly and said, "the address you sent him is false, but the place where he followed Xu Yi is true. Didn''t you expect?"


    Sheng Liang lost his mind, and then he was kicked to the heart by Xilin Fu. The whole man withdrew a long way back and didn''t stop until he retreated to the wall.


    He didn''t expect that after all these years, Xilin Fu''s skill was still so good.


    Seeing that he had no other reaction, Xilin Fu''s face changed. Just as his cell phone rang, he stopped to answer the phone. When he heard what the people over there said, his face was even more ugly.


    Sheng Liang straightened up, sorted out the wrinkled shirt in the fight just now, and walked slowly to the door.


    "You waited for me here on purpose. Even if I didn''t propose a duel, would you mention it?" Xilin Fu''s anger became more and more obvious. "Otherwise, how could Xu Yi succeed!"


    Xu Yi even brought people from the commercial bureau into his office!


    Lanxi has long been watched by the commercial bureau, but due to his identity and the influence of the Xilin family, he has never dared to take rash action.


    This time, if he wasn''t here and Xu Yi was running rampant in the company in the name of his driver, it would be impossible for people from the commercial bureau to enter!


    Sheng Liang smiled: "you should say that even this signing ceremony is prepared for you. Otherwise, how could you come?"


    Now, except for Qiao Xuan''s news, there may be nothing else that can make Xilin Fu appear in person. However, how can Sheng Liang be willing to use Qiao Xuan as a bait.


    Therefore, he thought of the method of killing two birds with one stone, which could not only recover the prosperity, but also lead Xilin back to the hook.


    As for Qiao Xuan''s side, Xu Yi has gone to protect Qiao Xuan after taking the people from the commercial bureau into Xilin Fu''s office and removing all the accounts in his safe.


    As for what Xilin Fu said, he already knew about Cheng rang following Xu Yi. The man cheng rang followed was just a double dressed like Xu Yi.


    So far, everything is still under his control.


    "Do you think this will bring me down?" Xilin Fu smiled. "How do you think our Xilin family can stand up in the business world? What do you want to do to me with those account books?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "of course not. The accounts you put in the safe are false. No matter how you check it, you can''t find any problems. However, the crime of intentional homicide is enough to let you spend the rest of your life in prison."


    Xilin''s fierce eyes swept Sheng Liang: "you can''t speak until you have evidence."


    "I have the evidence. Although it took some trouble, I still got it." Sheng Liang took out a USB flash disk from his pocket. "Do you remember that you killed Qi Chu in front of me and Qiao Xuan in the parking lot. Although the monitoring in the parking lot was cleaned by you, someone took the picture on the dash cam, and your face was very clear."


    Xilin looked at Sheng Liang for a while, and suddenly said calmly, "you want to cheat me in this way, let me admit it, and then give the recording to the police? I thought your means would be better, or are you at a loss?"

 Chapter 297

    Sheng Liang didn''t answer. He smiled for a long time: "you see through it. It''s worthy of being the best instructor of Scorpio organization."


    Hearing the four words of Scorpio organization, Xilin Fu''s face changed slightly: "that organization doesn''t exist for a long time."


    "You are also very confident about yourself, but you are too confident." Sheng Liang took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, and then showed it to Xilin, "do you know this man?"


    Xilin Fu looked at the black man on Sheng Liang''s mobile phone screen, and his pupils widened suddenly: "it''s impossible, he''s dead!"


    As soon as his voice fell, the door of the venue opened, a black man came in, stared at Xilin Fu, and then walked slowly to Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu looked at the man with a twinkle, and then said, "you think you can cheat me by looking for someone who looks like me. He''s not Michelle at all!"


    "He''s not really. He''s Michelle''s brother. He''s here to avenge Michelle. He''s been following you for a long time. He has all your criminal evidence in his hand."


    Xilin Fu was silent for a while, but he still smiled and said, "your lie is too clumsy. If he really has evidence in his hand, you still have to talk so much nonsense with me here?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer, as if he was waiting for something.


    Xilin Fu looked at his indifferent expression and suddenly realized something. He immediately turned and was about to go out, but the black man had blocked his way.


    Sheng Liang''s cell phone rang just at this time. After he answered, he heard the person inside say: "the person has been found. Now take notes in the police station. I sent a video in your mailbox. Look. Also, our people have gone to the hotel, but it may take some time to arrive. You can delay it for a while."


    Sheng Liang opened the mailbox and saw the video sent by Ling Hui. He turned the volume to the maximum and said to Xilin Fu, "you are familiar with the sound. I didn''t lie to you this time."


    In the video, Liu Lina is telling the police the facts of Xilin Fu''s crime. She was Xilin Fu''s secretary before. Naturally, she has a lot of Xilin Fu''s hidden secrets.


    "You procrastinate here just to find this woman?" Xilin Fu sneered and walked back to Sheng Liang step by step. "She is a dog. Can a dog believe it?"


    Sheng Liang smiled lightly: "how could you ask such a stupid question? Don''t you already know that Xu Yi switched Liu Linna and Qiao Xuan? Don''t you understand why we sent Liu Linna''s witness to you?"


    Xilin Fu''s eyes were full of danger and stared at Sheng Liang for a moment.


    Sheng Liang said for him: "Although you regard Liu Linna as a dog, she really takes you as the master. The dog is always the most loyal. Even if she was drunk on the day she seduced Xu Yi, Xu Yi didn''t take any words out of her mouth. Otherwise, we don''t have to take so much trouble. It''s you that didn''t disappoint us. It''s really heavy to see Liu Linna appear in your bed. However, Liu Lina should also thank you for giving her a hard hand this time, otherwise she will still be stubborn until now. "


    Xilin Fu listened to Sheng Liang''s words. His anger in his eyes could not be hidden. He punched Sheng Liang directly.


    In the duel just now, Sheng Liang didn''t fall behind. He didn''t take the initiative to attack. He was just saving his strength because he knew that there would be a more fierce fight in the end.


    Like now.


    Xilin Fu was more ruthless than before. Every punch seemed to cool down to death. The tables and chairs around them had been broken.


    The black man joined in, two on one, and Xilin Fu was gradually at a disadvantage.


    Xilin Fu was suddenly thrown out by the black man. His body rubbed on the floor and slid to the wall. When his head was about to hit the wall, he supported it in time.


    Seeing this, the black man rushed at him again.


    Sheng Liang saw that Xilin Fu''s expression at this time was relaxed. He knew something was wrong. Then he saw that Xilin Fu didn''t know where to take out a gun, pull the insurance, load it, and finish it at one go. He quickly shouted, "get out of the way!"


    But the black man obviously didn''t understand Chinese and didn''t react to Xilin Fu''s actions. He fell to the ground after hearing a gunshot.


    Seeing that Xilin Fu''s gun turned to him again, Sheng Liang immediately hid behind the conference table.


    "Aren''t you very good? Then don''t hide." Xilin Fu took the gun and walked around slowly.


    The police siren sounded outside. Even if you don''t have to look, you know that the police have surrounded the whole hotel.


    "You can''t run, Xilin Fu," said Sheng Liang.


    "Shut up!" Xilin fired several shots at Sheng Liang''s voice.


    A bang, like the muffled sound of falling to the ground.


    Xilin smiled, walked over and kicked away the chair in front: "in the end, you didn''t die in my hand -"


    His voice did not fall, but it was stuck in his throat, because there was no one behind the chair, only a mobile phone.


    Xilin Fu''s eyes widened, his fingers pressing the trigger gradually loosened, and a shining blade was clinging to the skin of his neck.


    "I should have told you this," said Sheng Liang. He took the gun from Xilin Fu''s hand and threw it at the door. "Even if I kill you now, it can be said to be self-defense. No one will doubt it."


    Xilin raised his hands and smiled. "You''re right. You won this game. Every step is under your control. You''re really my good student."


    "Thank you for your instruction." Sheng Liang heard footsteps in the corridor outside the door and knew that the police came up. This time Xilin really couldn''t fly.


    "What a pity," said Xilin Fu suddenly, "if I die, you will never find that woman again."


    Seeing that he lowered his head and didn''t know where he was looking, Sheng Liang''s heart sank, because he subconsciously thought that Xilin Fu was talking about Qiao Xuan. He tilted his head and looked down Xilin Fu''s line of sight¡ª¡ª


    The wrist was suddenly caught, and the folding knife in his hand also deviated from the original position. Sheng Liang returned to his mind. He saw that Xilin Fu had run to the window, opened the window and jumped out directly.


    The door was pushed open, the police rushed in, and the screen curtain by the window was raised by the wind. They ran to the window, but they couldn''t see Xilin Fu''s shadow.


    Sheng Liang stood where he was, his chest undulating. He knew that Xilin Fu was not caught this time, and it would be more difficult to catch him in the future.


    Moreover, their situation is more dangerous.


    He miscalculated.


    When Sheng Liang returned, Xu Yi opened the door. Seeing his clothes in disorder and some blood stains, he hurriedly asked, "Liang Shao, are you hurt?"


    "No," Sheng Liang glanced at the living room. He didn''t see Qiao Xuan and sighed lightly, "is she still sleeping?"


    Xu Yi nodded: "Miss Qiao looks in poor spirits and has been sleeping all morning."

 Chapter 298

    Sheng Liang pondered for a moment and then said, "Xilin has run away again. It shouldn''t be a threat to us for a while. Go back to the company. You and Xiao Si will deal with the follow-up matters about Shengshi."


    Xu Yi wanted to say something, but seeing the fatigue on Sheng Liang''s face, he didn''t say anything more and nodded out.


    Sheng Liang took a bath, changed into clean clothes, pushed open the bedroom door and saw Qiao Xuan lying on her side on the bed with a pale face.


    He gently opened the quilt, lay down on her side and took her in his arms.


    Qiao Xuan feels very tired. One dream after another. It seems that she can''t wake up.


    She felt that someone held her, so warm, with a faint fragrance of bath milk. She felt very familiar, so she unconsciously wanted to stick closer.


    In Sheng Liang''s eyes, Qiao Xuan kept drilling into his arms. Her frown looked so pitiful.


    He held her tighter, kissed her forehead, and gently rubbed her hair with his fingers.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, she saw Sheng Liang sleeping next to her, and his hand was still holding her shoulder.


    So many things have happened these days, and she has been in a bad mood, so even face-to-face, she didn''t take a good look at Sheng Liang. He has really lost a lot of weight, and the fatigue on his face can''t be covered even when he is asleep.


    He must have not slept well for many days. Qiao Xuan fondled his face and kissed his lips gently.


    Qiao Xuan slowly got out of bed and thought of cooking some porridge for him in the kitchen. When she passed the water room, she was shocked to see the blood on his clothes.


    She doesn''t know what he has just experienced. He always refuses to tell her anything. He always bears all things silently. That''s what makes her more distressed.


    Qiao Xuan took his clothes to wash. When she touched her pocket, she found something in it. She took it out and saw that it was a piece of paper.


    She didn''t want to open it, but when she was ready to put it down, she noticed that the scarlet letter from the back was the name of the Rococo hospital.


    Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but she couldn''t help opening it. When she saw the words on it, she was stunned for a moment, and her mind suddenly went blank.


    It''s her diagnosis certificate. The situation written on it is fundamentally different from what Sheng Liang told her. It turns out that her situation has been so serious.


    She suddenly understood that Sheng Liang''s many abnormal actions before, including his insistence that she abort her child, were also afraid of having an impact on her treatment.


    She misunderstood him.


    Qiao Xuan squatted on the ground and couldn''t return to God for a long time. The truth relieved her of some things, but at the same time, she was at a loss.


    She can''t imagine what her family and Sheng Liang would do if one day she suddenly fell ill and left the world?


    She sat blankly on the ground for a while, then slowly stood up, put the cool clothes into the washing machine, tore up the paper, threw it into the toilet and washed it away.


    Anyway, she wants to do what she should do before she leaves to minimize the harm to them in the future.


    When Sheng Liang woke up, he looked at what was in front of him. He didn''t react where it was. He turned his head and looked at the folds on the bedsheet next to him, and then remembered that he had come to find Qiao Xuan.


    But now, Qiao Xuan was not around. He panicked and immediately sat up. Just about to get out of bed, the door opened and Qiao Xuan came in.


    "You''re awake. Why don''t you sleep more." Qiao Xuan walked over and sat next to him. "I''ve cooked porridge, but it''s not ready yet."


    Sheng Liang looked at her and doubted that he was dreaming. He hugged her and said, "are you not angry with me?"


    Listening to his cautious tone, Qiao Xuan thought of the cruel words she said before. She really didn''t know how uncomfortable Sheng Liang was at that time. She shook her head and said, "it''s me. It''s me. I''m too willful. I''m not in good health. I have to get pregnant and I''m not responsible for my children. If you have time tomorrow, go to the hospital with me."


    Sheng Liang doesn''t know why Qiao Xuan has suddenly changed so much. She shouldn''t know about her physical condition. Moreover, if she really knows, she will probably disappear directly.


    Sheng Liang was lucky to think that Qiao Xuan really loved him too much and didn''t want to quarrel with him about it, so he compromised.


    "OK," said Sheng Liang.


    The two had a warm dinner together. Sheng Liang always paid attention to Qiao Xuan''s expression and didn''t find anything wrong with her. He slowly let go of his heart.


    Sheng Liang accompanied Qiao Xuan to the hospital. While waiting outside, Sheng Liang saw the woman coming out of the inside, covering her stomach with her hands and looking pale. She was very unhappy.


    Qiao Xuan''s condition is also very poor. When she comes out of it, her legs are soft.


    Sheng Liang hurried over and picked her up: "do you want to have a rest here first?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head weakly: "go home."


    Sheng Liang immediately took her out and put her in the car without loosening her hand all the way.


    Qiao Xuan lay at home for more than a week. Sheng Liang took care of her at home for more than a week. She didn''t let her do anything. Every day she cooked a meal, brought it to her and fed her by hand.


    Every day''s diet is carefully matched by him. He has to be nutritious and take care of her taste. Sometimes a soup has to be busy in the kitchen all afternoon.


    Qiao Xuan knew that he was not feeling well. After all, it was also his child, but she had said so many excessive words to him before.


    Qiao Xuan stood at the kitchen door and looked at his busy back. She was a little sad. She walked slowly and hugged him from behind.


    Sheng Liang''s mind was cooking. He didn''t pay attention to when she came in. He was hugged by her suddenly. He was stunned. He reacted and looked back at her with a little anger in his tone: "Why are you up? Go back and lie down."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t let go, but her face was close to his back: "I''m all right. Didn''t the doctor also say to come down and walk more."


    "Then sit outside for a while, and dinner will be ready soon." Sheng liangchong smiled drowningly.


    "Well." Qiao Xuan was very good this time. She loosened Sheng Liang and went out.


    There were only two of them, so Sheng Liang didn''t prepare so many dishes, but each one took a lot of effort.


    Qiao Xuan watched him put a small bowl of soup in front of her and said softly, "thank you."


    Sheng Liang gave her a lot of dishes, but he didn''t mean to eat.


    "Why don''t you eat?" Qiao Xuan looked at him and asked.


    Sheng Liang smiled: "you eat first and eat more fish. It''s good for your health."


    Qiao Xuan took a fish with chopsticks according to his meaning, because Sheng Liang had already picked a thorn. She felt that there was something hard inside. Qiao Xuan dialed it unconsciously, and then saw a ring inside.


    Somewhere in my heart, I suddenly throbbed.

 Chapter 299

    Sheng Liang knelt on one knee and took her hand and said, "gorgeous, let''s get married."


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t help it. Tears suddenly fell down.


    This was once her dream picture. She waited so long before she finally waited for Sheng Liang to say this to her.


    But she couldn''t promise.


    If it was ten days ago, even if she hated him at that time, her heart would be soft.


    But now, she really didn''t dare and couldn''t give him the answer he wanted.


    "Sheng Liang, get up first. I have to think about it." Qiao Xuan had a headache and pressed her forehead with one hand.


    Sheng Liang heard that she was an excuse: "can''t you forgive me?"


    Qiao Xuan''s heart hurts like being stabbed by a knife. What qualification does she have to say she doesn''t forgive him? He has nothing wrong at all.


    But how can she tell him that she already knows everything, and then let Sheng Liang suffer with her in her last days, and pretend to be very happy?


    She really can''t.


    She is not a saint, nor does she want to pretend to be noble. She just wants to leave her dignity. She doesn''t want Sheng Liang to see her haggard appearance.


    The rest of his life should not be spent in this remorseful but powerless pain, which was not what she wanted.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head, smiled and said: "I don''t blame you for the child. We won''t mention it again in the future, but I really haven''t thought about it well if I get married. You know, I have many quirks. I can''t act like a spoiled child, I don''t know how to get close to others, and I don''t know how to be sophisticated. After getting married, it''s not just about us anymore. I''m afraid I can''t cope with it. In fact, we''re quite like this now Well, apart from a small Ben, aren''t we just like husband and wife? It''s OK to live like this. "


    Sheng Liang looked at her as if to see through her heart from her eyes. He knew that Qiao Xuan had always hinted that he wanted to get married because he didn''t respond to her because he was afraid that her identity would be exposed.


    But now she knows, and Xilin Fu should not appear again for a long time. Even if he does, he can''t be as arrogant as before. That''s why he proposed to marry her.


    Unexpectedly, she refused this time.


    "Gorgeous son..." even if she said so many reasons, Sheng Liang knew in her heart that she must still have a grudge about the child.


    Seeing him frowning at her, Qiao Xuan hurriedly took him and said, "let''s not talk about this. Eat quickly. The dishes will be cold in a while."


    Sheng Liang didn''t say anything. The most important thing now is to quickly arrange Qiao Xuan for surgery. When she is well, they can have another child. At that time, he can explain it to her.


    After dinner, they watched TV on the sofa for a while. Although Qiao Xuan was in Sheng Liang''s arms as before, they were obviously thinking about different things this night.


    Qiao Xuan gets better. With Sheng Liang''s consent, she goes to the hospital to see Lin Zheng.


    Qiao Nan is still taking care of Lin Zheng. When Qiao Xuan goes in, she sees Qiao Nan cutting apples for Lin Zheng, cutting them into small pieces and handing them to Lin Zheng''s mouth.


    In fact, these days, Sheng Liang also takes care of her like this. She is careful, as if she is a rare treasure, for fear that she will be damaged by carelessness.


    So seeing the scene in front of her, she regretted coming in.


    Or Lin Zheng saw her first and shouted, "sister Qiao Xuan."


    When Qiao Nan heard this, she turned her head and saw her. She immediately stood up and grabbed her and asked, "are you all right, sister? My mobile phone can''t get through. My brother-in-law only said you were resting and wouldn''t tell us where you are."


    Qiao Xuan smiled: "I''m not standing here now. I''m fine. I just found a clean place to rest for a while."


    But she is really grateful. When she is dizzy and doesn''t handle anything well, Sheng Liang can still take into account her family. No matter what reason is used, at least she doesn''t worry them too much.


    In contrast, she felt that she really failed. She didn''t think of this at that time.


    "You''re all right." Qiao Nan smiled and whispered in her ear, "sister, you just came back. I''m going to propose to Lin Zheng recently."


    Hearing the proposal, Qiao Xuan was stunned, but soon said, "OK, what do you want me to do?"


    "I haven''t thought about the details yet. I''m just saying hello to you. I may need my brother-in-law''s help at that time."


    Listening to his brother-in-law, Qiao Xuan had a lot of thoughts in her heart. It felt like they had just returned from Europe and were still pretending to be lovers.


    When I think of it now, it was at that time that they were simpler and more relaxed together.


    Sometimes, the more you love each other, the more you worry about gain and loss. On the contrary, it will make life harder for two people.


    Qiao Xuan privately asked Qiao Nan about Lin Zheng. Fortunately, it was later diagnosed that Lin Zheng was just a spinal fracture. After rehabilitation treatment after operation, she can now go to the ground. Only a steel plate was made in her body, which can be removed in a year.


    However, this is already a good result.


    "Elder sister, have you heard about qiluo?" Qiao Nan suddenly asked.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. During this time, she has been in the house arranged by Sheng Liang, almost isolated from the world, and she hasn''t heard Sheng Liang talk about it.


    Qiao Nan sighed and said, "I heard that she didn''t know who to look for, but she was designed and caught in a nightclub. The man named Cheng rang lost half his life in order to save her. Now both of them are missing. Someone said that they fled to the outside market. Anyway, it''s sad."


    Qiao Xuan unconsciously clenched her fingers. Even Qiao Nan knew these things. Sheng Liang had no reason not to know, but he had been with her for so many days, and even didn''t ask about the company.


    He''s really calm.


    Well, a woman like ziluo doesn''t deserve Sheng Liang at all.


    But it reminded her that if someone could take care of Sheng Liang for her after she left, she would be at ease even if she died.


    The first person Qiao Xuan thought of was Rococo. Rococo and Sheng Liang have known each other for many years and are familiar with each other. In the past, Rococo had Sheng Yan, but now Sheng Yan is dead. They are still a good match together.


    Just already in the hospital, Qiao Xuan went to see Rococo. Outside a ward, she watched Rococo examine the patient, gentle and careful.


    However, thinking of her purpose, Qiao Xuan was still a little uncomfortable.


    "Qiao Xuan, why are you here?" Rococo came out and was surprised to see her at the door. Then he told other doctors to go to the ward round first, looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "you look so good. It seems that ah Liang has taken good care of you."

 Chapter 300

    Seeing Rococo laughing with her, Qiao Xuan knows that Rococo is willing to forgive her.


    They sat down on the bench in the small garden in the hospital. Rococo first asked, "I saw Ah Liang take back the prosperity on TV. I haven''t congratulated him yet."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know how to cut into the topic. Rococo just talked about it. She immediately said, "let him invite you to dinner another day. We haven''t had dinner together for a long time."


    "Yes," Rococo readily agreed.


    "How do you know Sheng liang?" Qiao Xuan asked tentatively.


    Rococo smiled, as if trapped in that memory: "It happened a long time ago. Before I graduated from college, I suddenly fell in love with photography, took a camera everywhere, and then saw him on a viaduct. He stood by the bridge and looked at the river below. His indifference in his eyes made people feel afraid. I was afraid that he would suddenly jump from above, so I ran to talk to him. He ignored me and turned away I followed him and talked to him all the time. Then he got bored and gave me a cell phone number. That''s how we met. "


    Qiao Xuan listened to her and imagined the coolness at that time. She envied Rococo for meeting him so early and giving him a lot of help.


    If only she had known him earlier.


    "It''s like the beginning of a romantic drama." Qiao Xuan said with a smile, but her heart was a little sour.


    After listening to her, Rococo realized that the focus of today''s conversation was a little strange. He quickly cut off the topic and asked, "how are you recovering recently?"


    "Very good." with Sheng Liang''s careful care, how could she not recover well.


    Thinking of what Sheng Liang has done for her these days, she is not willing to give him to others, but she can''t bear to see Sheng Liang''s decadent appearance after she leaves.


    She can''t be too selfish.


    "Otherwise, let''s have dinner tonight." Qiao Xuan wants to cultivate Sheng Liang''s relationship with rococo early.


    Rococo thought and said, "I should have nothing to do in the evening. Then you book a seat and call me."


    Qiao Xuan nodded.


    When she left the hospital, Qiao Xuan didn''t go home, but went directly to the company. It was almost time for noon break. She and Sheng Liang could have some private space.


    Everyone in the company knew her. When walking to Shengliang''s office, everyone passing by greeted her, which made Qiao Xuan miss her a little.


    Speaking of it, she had never thought that one day she would be surrounded by a man at home, and she was willing.


    Xu Yi just came out of Sheng Liang''s office. Seeing Qiao Xuan, he immediately had to knock at the door.


    "I''ll go in by myself." Qiao Xuan smiled and wanted to surprise Sheng Liang.


    Xu Yi then walked away very wisely.


    Qiao Xuan gently pushed the door open. When she saw that Sheng Liang was still buried in processing a pile of documents, when she heard the sound, she raised her head and saw that it was her. The corners of her mouth immediately raised a smile: "if there is a hospital?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded, went over and turned over the pile of documents and frowned: "why so many? Wasn''t Sheng Qian helping to deal with it before?"


    "It''s strange that he can count on it. As soon as I came back, the man disappeared." Sheng Liang stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Xuan over and let her sit on his lap. "Have you walked a lot, tired or not?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. He is the one who works harder.


    "I met cocoa in the hospital and asked her to have dinner together in the evening. Remember to book a restaurant."


    "I see." Sheng Liang kissed her lips.


    Sheng Liang consulted Qiao Xuan and set the restaurant near their company.


    Of course, this is Qiao Xuan''s careful thinking.


    After work, the two of them went down together. Qiao Xuan said to Sheng Liang, "go and pick up cocoa. I''ll wait for you in the restaurant."


    Because the scheduled restaurant is really close, Sheng Liang doesn''t think much. Watching Qiao Xuan go in, he drives to the hospital to pick up Rococo.


    But when they arrived, they didn''t see Qiao Xuan in the restaurant.


    Seeing Sheng Liang''s nervous look, Rococo hurriedly said, "call her and see where she is."


    Sheng Liang immediately dialed Qiao Xuan''s number. She quickly answered. Sheng Liang repressed his worry and asked, "where have you been?"


    "I''m a little uncomfortable, so I''ll come back first. Eat with cocoa. You shouldn''t have seen her for a long time. Don''t leave her there alone. I''m fine. Don''t worry. I''ll sleep first." Qiao Xuan said these words like reciting her lines, and then hung up quickly.


    Before Sheng Liang could ask any more questions, he heard a busy tone over there.


    "What''s the matter?" Rococo asked.


    Sheng Liang put away his cell phone and said, "she said she didn''t feel well and went home first. Let''s leave her alone."


    Rococo smiled casually and said, "what do I think is wrong today, as if she was deliberately leaving us alone."


    Sheng Liang had never thought of what the strange feeling in his heart was. Rococo suddenly reminded him.


    "Cocoa..."


    Sheng Lianggang wanted to say something to Rococo. Rococo already said, "well, I know you don''t trust Qiao Xuan. Go back and I''ll ask other friends to come and have dinner with me, but it''s your treat. You have to pay for us."


    Sheng Liang nodded and left immediately. When he got home, he opened the door and saw Qiao Xuan curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. He still held his cell phone in his hand and maintained the position he had just hung up.


    It seems that after saying those words, she didn''t move, so she fell asleep right here.


    Sheng Liang took off his coat and put it aside. He gently picked her up. She just moved and woke up.


    When she just opened her eyes, the panic in her eyes relaxed after she saw it was him.


    "Have you finished your meal?" Qiao Xuan was a little confused and thought she had slept for a long time.


    When she woke up, Sheng Liang simply took her to the restaurant and pretended to be unhappy and said, "throw me to other women and come back to sleep. I''m not in the mood to eat."


    Qiao Xuan glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was only 20 minutes before they finished talking. Obviously, he didn''t stop at all and drove back immediately.


    Suddenly she didn''t know what to say.


    "You''re hungry, I''ll cook." seeing that Sheng Liang''s face was bad, she knew he was angry. She walked out with a guilty heart.


    Sheng Liang stretched out his hand to hold her, took her into his arms and asked in a low voice, "don''t you want me anymore? If you don''t agree to my proposal, you have to push me to others?"


    Sheng Liang''s tone made Qiao Xuan feel inexplicably sad. How could she be willing to leave him, but she really didn''t have time.


    But her practice made Sheng Liang notice it so quickly, and it was unexpected for her to have such an idea.


    What she hoped was that Rococo''s existence would be a buffer against his sudden collapse when she left.


    But now, it seems impossible to do it at all.

 Chapter 301

    Qiao Xuan quickly hugged him and said incoherently, "no, I didn''t mean that. I''m sorry."


    She didn''t know how to express her feelings. She couldn''t bear to let him be lonely in the future, and she couldn''t bear to see him sad now.


    When she was still at a loss, Sheng Liang suddenly held her face and kissed her so deeply that she couldn''t breathe, so he let her go.


    "If I''m not doing well, just tell me and scold me. Just don''t push me to others." Sheng Liang''s look was very serious.


    Qiao Xuan looked into his eyes. She didn''t even have the courage to shake her head. She nodded and said, "I know."


    Sheng Liang''s face eased a little, rubbed her hair and said, "wait a minute, I''ll get something to eat."


    Qiao Xuan wanted to let her go, but when she saw Sheng Liang''s eyes, she didn''t say any more.


    She used to be so independent, but now she is just spoiled by Sheng liangchong into a little woman. She really doesn''t want to lose such happiness.


    "I''m going to the United States recently. I don''t know how many days I''m going to go. Tomorrow, I''ll take you to your parents. Can you promise to wait for me to come back?" after dinner, they returned to their bedroom, Sheng Liang hugged her waist tightly and asked.


    It seems that the matter this time has left him with lingering palpitations. Qiao Xuan blamed herself, held his hand and said, "there will be no next time for today''s matter. I''ll wait for you to come back and pick me up."


    Sheng Liang''s chin rubbed her forehead, but he didn''t speak again.


    Naturally, he will come back to pick her up. This time, he will go to the United States to help her find a doctor. If it goes well, she will be able to undergo surgery soon.


    When he has arranged everything, he can find a way to tell her.


    Qiao Xuan hasn''t seen her parents for many days. Especially considering that she will leave them soon, she cherishes the time she can spend together now.


    Sheng Liang has gone to the United States, but Qiao Nan''s proposal party is still going on. Sheng Liang helped him rent a cruise ship, but he insisted on paying the expenses himself. After all, it is a major event of his life and can''t fake it.


    Qiao Xuan also wants to help, but Qiao Nan doesn''t let her. Her body is just a little better. If he is tired, he can''t explain to Sheng Liang.


    So Qiao Xuan can only watch them busy. She can''t help anything.


    Although Lin Zheng is still a junior in the performing arts circle, she has a good character. Many friends from the circle come to her, not to mention the relationship between Qiao Nan and Sheng Liang. There is no shortage of people who are at the helm in this circle, so many people come uninvited even though they have not received the invitation.


    There are also some media reporters who are blocked on the dock and don''t let them sail.


    "Do these people understand people''s words? What does it mean to have not received the invitation?" Qiao Nan in a white suit was a little angry, and his good mood was destroyed by these people.


    Looking at Qiao Nan who wanted to argue with those people, Lin Zheng dragged him not to let him go: "don''t make trouble."


    Xu Yi also said, "after all, it''s a happy event. There''s no need to be unhappy. I''ll tell them."


    Seeing Xu Yi go out, Qiao Xuan also follows up. There are really many people below. Many faces look familiar. Qiao Xuan doesn''t often watch TV and knows that they are artists from other companies.


    "We''re here to congratulate, not to make trouble. We''ve prepared all the gifts. Why refuse people thousands of miles away." a heavily made-up actress raised the gift box in her hand.


    "I''m sorry, everyone, that''s right," Xu Yi explained. "Because the food and drinks we prepared at the party were prepared according to the number of people who sent the invitation, there was no extra, so in order to avoid embarrassment, I hope you can cooperate with our arrangements."


    "It''s not good for you to do this. Everyone is in the same trade. You can''t rely on the power of Sheng family to crowd out our small company." another person said, "or are you doing some shady business?"


    Others echoed. The reporters seemed to have found the explosive point and took a burst of crazy photos at Xu Yi''s side.


    Naturally, Qiao Xuan standing next to Xu Yi was also photographed.


    It was originally a small matter, because the nature of the actress''s sentence suddenly changed, and the topic was pushed to the forefront of the storm.


    Although Sheng Liang signed an agreement with Xinier, it still needs a process to officially take over. Moreover, to restore Shengshi to its former glory, we need to invest more energy and funds. Being brought up with this rhythm at this time is undoubtedly a negative blow to feilengcui.


    Xu Yi looks at Qiao Xuan with some apology in his eyes. He thinks that his words just caused them to be besieged.


    Qiao Xuan shook her head slightly, so that he didn''t have to worry.


    Moreover, it is obvious that these people are incited by others. Otherwise, in their capacity and status, they must always take into account their future.


    "Don''t be impatient and listen to me." Qiao Xuan still stood in place and said faintly.


    As soon as she opened her mouth, the people next to her immediately stepped back and gave her a place. Xu Yi also stepped back a little, but he always stood closest to her and was always ready to protect her.


    "Today is my brother''s engagement party. Thank you very much for coming, but I remember that our invitation didn''t indicate that it was a company event. It was just a private party, so I''d like to know who informed you?" Qiao Xuan doesn''t like to laugh, and even her expression always looks cold. Now her eyes sweep to the people below, It was like the Queen''s patrol. Those people stopped talking at once.


    Seeing that they were silent, Qiao Xuan said: "Whether it''s a prosperous age or a cold jade, our reputation in the industry doesn''t come from ourselves. If some people want to throw dirty water on our heads, it''s best to weigh their weight. Also, I remember everyone present today. I promise I''ll give you a surprise, but whether it''s surprise or joy depends on my mood. Let''s sail, if you want If someone stops, please ask him to taste the taste of this sea area. It''s my first gift. "


    Qiao Xuan said that and then turned to the deck, but the look in her eyes before she turned her head made the people below shiver.


    Just now Qiao Xuan''s performance made everyone look at her with admiration. A reporter whispered, "who is she and what''s her background?"


    "Don''t you know?" another reporter gave her an ignorant look. "The woman of the third childe of the Sheng family is powerful."


    Sheng Qian watched on the upper deck, switched the camera on his mobile phone, smiled and said to Sheng Liang, "what should I do? I really like this woman. You''re not here. Can I take advantage of it?"

 Chapter 302

    Sheng Qian showed Sheng Liang everything just now through a live video call. Hearing his words, Sheng Liang frowned and said, "you''ve been watching like this?"


    If those people are really agitated and ignore anything, what if they hurt Qiao Xuan? This guy is kind-hearted.


    "Isn''t Xu Yi by her side? I''m not at ease with the people you arranged. Besides, isn''t she handling it well." moreover, Sheng Liang''s ruthlessness is getting stronger and stronger. Even he was shocked by the last threat just now.


    It''s very good. Sheng Liang has an imperceptible smile on his lips. Of course, not everyone can compare with his women.


    "Look at the company and pay less attention to her, otherwise, I will give you a surprise." Sheng Liang ended the call without giving him any chance to refute.


    pleasantly surprised? Sheng Qian trembled, but he didn''t want it.


    Sheng Qian came down from above and saw Zhao Xiaowei chatting with a male artist by the fence. They were drinking red wine and laughing. In particular, Zhao Xiaowei was wearing a big red one shoulder dress and lifting her hair. It was really indescribable sexy.


    But he just looked at it for a second, then walked away secretly from one side, found Qiao Xuan, sat down beside her, picked up a glass of red wine on the table and took a sip.


    It was too late for Qiao Xuan to stop, so she didn''t say it was hers.


    Speaking of it, they haven''t seen him for a long time. Seeing him now seems different from before.


    "I heard you went out to travel again?" Qiao Xuan changed a glass of juice and asked in a low voice.


    "Travel?" Sheng Qian''s slender eyebrows bent. "You don''t have to help me with my words. I just went out to play. Why, my third brother complained to you again?"


    Qiao Xuan sighed: "the prosperous age is not his own. You must help him share some."


    "Do you feel bad?" Sheng Qian approached her and joked, "before you got married, you began to feel bad for your man."


    Qiao Xuan''s face was slightly red, but his eyes fell in the distance and youyou said, "I just hope he can not work so hard."


    "I don''t have any ambition. I just want to be carefree every day. If there are beautiful scenery, wine and beautiful women, I''ll be satisfied." Sheng Qian leaned back in his chair and sipped a sip of red wine. No matter how free and easy he said, when he looked at the boundless sea, his eyes were still bitter.


    But he didn''t let Qiao Xuan see it.


    What Qiao Xuan said on the boat soon appeared on the news. I thought it would have a bad impact. Unexpectedly, the comments were all about praising Qiao Xuan''s arrogance. The last sentence has become the hottest chat popular body on the Internet.


    "My sister was really handsome at that time. You didn''t see it. Those people were stunned." Qiao Nan proudly boasted to her parents about Qiao Xuan''s great achievements.


    But the Qiao family''s parents listened, but some worried that she would be retaliated by others.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly said, "it''s all right. They are also encouraged by others. They are more afraid than me."


    Those small companies and studios are afraid that once Shengliang officially merges Shengshi and feilengcui, they will form a monopoly on the performing arts circle. At that time, they will not have a good life. Therefore, they will unite to perform such a show. Those artists are just used by them.


    Moreover, Qiao Xuan knew in her heart that the reason why she dared to say those words was because she knew that Sheng Liang would unconditionally support her behind her back.


    Thinking of Sheng Liang, Qiao Xuan felt a burst of sweetness in her heart. He wasn''t here these days. She really missed him.


    In the past, she always felt that she shouldn''t disturb his work, so she didn''t call him. She never took the initiative to call him, but now he understands that sometimes the interruption is also due to dependence.


    Qiao Xuan went aside, dialed Sheng Liang''s number, rang a few times, and he answered: "miss me?"


    As soon as he said the central thing, Qiao Xuan''s face was slightly hot: "No."


    "Oh," said Sheng Liang in a disappointed tone, "since you don''t miss me, hang up."


    Hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan immediately panicked: "no!"


    "Not what?" Sheng Liang waited for her.


    "It''s not that I didn''t miss you," said Qiao Xuan blushing. "I miss you. When will you come back?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t answer for a while. Qiao Xuan thought he was very embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I''m just asking. You''re busy with you. Don''t care about me."


    "Open the door." Sheng Liang suddenly said.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted. She immediately went to open the door and saw Sheng Liang standing outside the door, still talking, with a dusty face.


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t care that her family is still there. She directly hugs Sheng Liang and kisses him on tiptoe.


    Qiao Nan saw them like this, pulled his parents who hadn''t responded and said, "Dad, mom, there''s a meteor shower tonight. Go and watch it on the balcony."


    Although he knew it was a lie, Qiao''s parents went with him very cooperatively.


    Sheng Liang still pulled Qiao Xuan out of the door and pressed her against the wall. He pecked at the corners of her lips little by little, and then gradually deepened, as if he wanted to make up all the shares of these days.


    When she finally separated, Qiao Xuan breathed, blushed like an apple, and her eyes were covered with a layer of fog. Sheng Liang''s brain suddenly appeared four words, beautiful and delicious.


    If it weren''t for her current physical condition, Sheng Liang really wanted to put her under her.


    "Can we... Go in?" Qiao Xuan looked at him shyly. Their family was still blowing on the balcony.


    Sheng Liang looked at her. He always felt that he didn''t see enough. He kissed her on the face again before he took her hand and entered the door.


    Qiao''s parents are naturally happy to see them so glued together. Especially when they see that Qiao Xuan is in good spirit, they are about to forget her trauma.


    But at this time, Sheng Liang had to tell them the truth.


    After dinner, Sheng Liang said to Qiao''s parents, "uncle, aunt, our new cinema starts tonight. Do you want to see the first show?"


    "That''s certainly good." both of them were very happy and agreed immediately.


    "And me, my family must go. In addition to supporting my brother-in-law, tonight''s film rehearsal is Lin Zheng''s new film." Qiao Nan put on his coat when he said.


    Sheng Liang looked back at Qiao Xuan: "wait for me at home. When I send my uncle and aunt to the cinema, I''ll come back to pick you up."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t find anything wrong. Sheng Liang wouldn''t let her go. She must be afraid that it''s bad for her to sleep late.


    Sheng Liang drove out. After leaving their community far away, he suddenly parked his car on the roadside.


    Qiao''s parents looked at each other. Qiao''s father asked, "what''s the matter? What''s the matter?"

 Chapter 303

    Sheng liang thought for a while, thinking about what to say so as not to scare them.


    "Uncle and aunt, I didn''t tell you the truth about the injury on her head before. I want to apologize to you." Sheng Liang turned his head and bowed his head to apologize to them.


    They were stunned at the same time. Even Qiao Nan''s face changed: "what''s going on?"


    Sheng Liang sighed: "when I told you last time, I was afraid to scare you, so I hid a part. In fact, Xuaner''s brain injury is very serious. If she doesn''t have surgery, she may lose her sight soon, and then... Death."


    Hearing the last two words, Joe''s mother only felt that her eyes were black and her body shook twice.


    "Mom!" Qiao Nan quickly held Qiao''s mother and shouted.


    Joe''s father was also frightened and held Joe''s mother''s hand tightly.


    Joe''s mother shook her head: "I''m fine. Sheng Liang, make it clear, gorgeous son, she..."


    "This is the worst result, she doesn''t know yet," Sheng Liang lowered his head and a layer of sadness on his face. "I went to the United States this time to find an expert in this field and ask him to come to sangcheng to operate on Xuaner. However, the professor died of a heart attack on the flight back to the United States two days ago."


    "How could this happen?" Qiao Nan frowned. "Can''t other doctors do this operation?"


    Sheng Liang said truthfully, "so far, I haven''t found it."


    The three members of the Qiao family immediately fell silent. They all knew what it meant.


    "Now, what are your plans?" Joe''s father broke the silence first. "You say, we all listen to you."


    Sheng Liang looked at them and said, "I still hope you can hide it from her first. This blow is too big. I''m afraid she can''t bear it. On my side, I will continue to look for experts in this field. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I won''t give up."


    Joe''s mother took Sheng Liang''s hand and said for a long time, "Sheng Liang, thank you. Thank you for being so kind to our daughter. Don''t blame us for what we did wrong to you before."


    Sheng Liang put his hand on the back of Qiao''s mother''s hand and said, "this is what I should do. Although we are not married, in my heart, I have long regarded Hua''er as my wife."


    Joe''s father sighed. He didn''t know whether it was Qiao Xuan''s luck or misfortune.


    But all this, in the final analysis, is because she was arrested when she was a child. Without the father and son, Qiao Xuan would not be like this now.


    Sheng Liang sent them to the cinema. Although he knew that they were not in the mood, if they came back suddenly, Qiao Xuan would be suspicious.


    Also, Sheng Liang always felt something was wrong about Qiao Xuan and yorococo having dinner with him. He suspected that Qiao Xuan already knew the truth, because he found that the inspection report of Qiao Xuan that had been put in his drawer was missing.


    But he was not sure whether the two things were related.


    Especially Qiao Xuan now, as before, lives normally. He thought, maybe he is really careless.


    Since Liu Lina explained Xilin Fu''s criminal facts and Xilin Fu was wanted for arrest, the Xilin family has really staged a big play for succession one after another.


    The result of competing for power and profit is to give others an opportunity. Lanxi''s shares fell again and again. As soon as the market opened every day, someone sold them wantonly. Within a few days, the Xilin family was facing the biggest economic crisis in history.


    In the past, the Xilin family was arrogant because of its strong background, royal family and military and political family. However, in the final analysis, the biggest hidden danger of the family business is that each family harbors ghosts.


    When Xilin Fu was in the top position, because of his vicious means, he could still control the people in his family. Now he fell down, and those people immediately became a plate of loose sand. They were only concerned about their own interests. How could they be united again.


    A huge business empire, because of a small mistake, led to such a rout, which also has to be lamented.


    However, in this way, it gives Shengshi time to recuperate. It is not so easy for the whole group to recover. If Xilin Fu is still eyeing around, even Shengliang is overwhelmed.


    That day, Sheng Liang was reading a plan in his office. Xu Yi came in and said, "Chairman, someone from Xilin''s family came to see you. Let him come in?"


    Generally, Xu Yi will directly push off those who don''t have an appointment, but since he came to ask, there must be a reason why he couldn''t handle it. He said, "let him in."


    The man was already at the door. As soon as Xu Yi dodged, he came in: "Chairman Sheng, Hello, my name is Xilin Yue."


    Xilin Yue, Sheng Liang is not familiar with these nephews of Xilin family, but he thinks the name Xilin Yue is familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.


    "Hello, please sit down." Sheng Liang also said politely.


    Xilin Yue is only about 20 o''clock, but his manners and conversation look very elegant and have a royal style.


    He sat down on the sofa, smiled and said, "everyone is a businessman. Time is precious, so I won''t beat around the bush. I''m here to make a deal with Chairman Sheng."


    "What deal?" he could see that Xilin Yue must have come prepared, and he could guess what Xilin Yue wanted, but he really couldn''t think of anything else Xilin Yue could exchange with him.


    Xilin Yue smiled lightly and gently: "Chairman Sheng should know the current situation of our Xilin family very well. If no one comes forward to preside over the overall situation, I''m afraid it will be really destroyed, and I want to be this person."


    Hearing what he said, Sheng Liang began to admire the man''s magnanimous, and then asked, "so, what do you want me to do?"


    "With the current scale and prestige of Shengshi, if you subscribe for the shares of Xilin family, you will soon drive other consortia, and Lanxi will come back from the dead." Xilin Yue said without concealment.


    Sheng Liang smiled: "but the risk is too great. If it''s not good, it''s gone."


    "Therefore, the exchange terms I gave chairman Sheng are also very rich, and it is absolutely worth taking the risk," Xilin Yue said confidently.


    "Talk about it." Sheng Liang suddenly became interested.


    Xilin Yue looked at him and slowly spit out two words: "Qiao Xuan."


    Sheng Liang''s face suddenly changed: "what do you mean?"


    "It''s said that Chairman Sheng is abroad looking for an authoritative professor of brain surgery because of Miss Qiao''s old disease?" Xilin Yue said very carefully and observed the change of Sheng Liang''s expression all the time.


    Since xilinyue can say it, she must have done a lot of investigation and made a lot of efforts, because Sheng Liang''s search for a brain surgeon abroad has always been very secret.

 Chapter 304

    "What do you want to say?" Sheng Liang asked. He wanted to know what Xilin Yue wanted to do in this matter.


    "You should know that our Xilin family used to be a royal family, so naturally there are many royal prescriptions," Xilin Yue deliberately took a look at Sheng Liang, "of course, there are also good doctors."


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that when he looked up the information about Qiao Xuan on the Internet, he seemed to have seen Xilin Yue''s name, but he saw the English version, so the above was also Xilin Yue''s English name, but he didn''t catch a glimpse of the notes below. However, at that time, he didn''t connect that name with Xilin''s family.


    Now I thought that the man was Xilin Yue.


    The news came unexpectedly, but it was just right. Without thinking, he asked, "are you sure you can cure Qiao Xuan?"


    "The doctor''s mouth has never been 100%, because there are too many uncontrollable factors affecting the results. I can''t promise you anything. I can only say that I try my best." Xilin Yue''s voice is still gentle.


    Of course, Sheng Liang understands this truth. Just as he said to Qiao''s parents, even if there is only a chance, he must give it a try.


    This is not an adventure, but there is no other choice. He can''t watch Qiao Xuan die.


    "I promised this deal. When can you arrange the operation?" Sheng Liang was a little anxious.


    Xilin Yue shook his head and said, "this kind of thing is not urgent. I have to give her a comprehensive examination first. The operation can only be carried out if all conditions permit."


    Sheng Liang nodded: "I understand, but she still doesn''t know her physical condition, so..."


    Xilin Yue immediately realized: "I know. Well, you come to Xilin''s hospital tomorrow. I''ll arrange a female doctor to examine her and tell her that it''s an ordinary physical examination. When the results come out, we''ll study the next treatment plan."


    What he said was similar to what Sheng liang thought, so Sheng Liang immediately agreed.


    To go, Xilin Yue stood up, took a few steps, stopped, looked back at Sheng Liang and asked, "when we met for the first time, did you trust me so?"


    In fact, there is no trust, but Sheng Liang has reached the point where there is no way to go. Moreover, if he subscribes for the shares of Xilin family, he will be the shareholder of Lanxi in the future. It is easy for him to master Xilin Yue''s actions. Don''t be afraid of his tricks.


    "Qiao Xuan is my life, so you should know what to do." Sheng Liang''s eyes are as calm as water.


    Xilin Yue nodded and said faintly, "I don''t know why. I feel sorry to meet you late."


    Maybe it''s congenial. The sympathy between men is about to die out in this impetuous world, so they all have this feeling when they see each other.


    But what Sheng Liang wants to think now is how to take Qiao Xuan to the hospital.


    When he got home, Sheng Liang got off the bus. Before he reached the door, he smelled the smell of food coming from inside. The corners of his lips slightly lifted up, then pushed the door and said, "I''m back."


    Qiao Xuan came out from the inside, still wearing an apron, and said in surprise, "you''re so early today. I haven''t finished my meal yet."


    She used to cook cold every day. Now that she is well, she naturally wants to help him share some.


    Sheng Liang changed his shoes in the porch, hung his coat on the hanger, walked over and hugged her: "I''ll help you."


    "No, it''ll be fine soon. Go take a bath first." Qiao Xuan wanted to push him away. She smelled of oil and didn''t want to touch him.


    But Sheng Liang still held her and said, "hold her for a while and wash later."


    In fact, Sheng Liang seldom did this with her, so Qiao Xuan asked sensitively, "what''s the matter with you? Is your work very hard?"


    Sheng Liang''s head lingered in her neck socket for a few times and said low, "no, I just miss you very much."


    Qiao Xuan smiled: "I haven''t seen you for only a few hours. You just --"


    Before she finished, Sheng Liang kissed her lips. After a while, she loosened her lips and said, "I''m a little hungry."


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly pushed him and said, "I''ll be right away. Go take a bath."


    Sheng Liang didn''t refuse any more and went to the bathroom.


    Sheng Liang''s taste has always been light, and since Qiao Xuan had a miscarriage last time, Sheng Liang has the same taste with him after taking care of her diet.


    So now two people eat, no longer need to prepare separately.


    "Hua''er, I''ll go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow. Come with me." Sheng Liang pretended to be casual while eating.


    Qiao Xuan paused with her chopsticks in her hand, then smiled and said, "OK."


    In fact, she guessed that Sheng Liang must want to take her to check, but she didn''t know how to talk to her.


    And she knew it was so, how could she have the heart to embarrass him.


    Of course, she also hopes that some miracle will happen. In that case, she won''t have to leave Shengliang.


    Although such hope is almost impossible.


    However, seeing that Sheng Liang took her to Xilin''s hospital still made her a little puzzled: "Sheng Liang, why don''t you go to cocoa?"


    Didn''t she check there before, and if she was there, she could find a way to know the results.


    "We may want to take a stake in Xilin family, so it''s necessary to know about their industries." although this is a reasonable reason, Sheng Liang is still somewhat guilty. He knows Qiao Xuan''s sharpness too well.


    But fortunately, Qiao Xuan didn''t doubt anything. She just asked, "take a stake? It''s too risky. Have you discussed it with the old man and Sheng Qian?"


    She used to work in finance, so she is always sensitive to these things.


    Sheng Liang lied and said, "they have no problem."


    The fact is that he hasn''t mentioned it to them at all. There''s nothing wrong with Sheng Qian. Anyway, Sheng Qian has never participated in opinions on the company''s affairs and let him decide everything.


    Sheng Tianhao, maybe he should tell him, but he still wants to tell Sheng Tianhao after Qiao Xuan''s situation is clear, so that he won''t disagree.


    After entering the hospital, Sheng Liang asked Xilin Yue''s office at the guide desk, and took Qiao Xuan upstairs directly.


    "Xilin Yue, who is that?" in fact, Qiao Xuan wanted to ask what the relationship between this person and Xilin Fu was, but Sheng Liang didn''t seem to care about this, so she didn''t mention Xilin Fu''s name.


    "The future power holder of the Xilin family." Sheng Liang said lightly. He didn''t want Qiao Xuan to go further.


    Qiao Xuan looked up suspiciously at Sheng Liang, but she couldn''t see any expression on his face. However, it seems that his relationship with the Xilin family has been somewhat elusive.


    "Here you are." Sheng Liang takes Qiao Xuan into Xilin Yue''s office. Xilin Yue sees them and walks over slowly.

 Chapter 305

    Qiao Xuan looked at the man. Her first impression was that he was very clean and had an elegant temperament.


    However, seeing the white coat he was wearing, she couldn''t help but wonder. Moreover, it seemed a little too young to see that the chief physician was written on his badge.


    Like seeing Qiao Xuan''s question, Xilin Yue said with a smile: "don''t worry, I have a doctor of Medicine degree and three years of clinical experience. I''m just young. Moreover, I skipped level 4 from primary school to high school."


    Skip?


    In Qiao Xuan''s impression, only gifted teenagers are qualified to jump. It seems that this Xilin Yue is really not simple.


    Sheng Liang holds Qiao Xuan''s hand and introduces to Xilin Yue, "my fiancee, Qiao Xuan, used to be the CFO of the company, so she is very sensitive to numbers."


    Xilin Yue understood what Sheng Liang said. Qiao Xuan must have accurately calculated his age in her heart, so she felt it impossible.


    "I know that the chief financial officer of Shengshi has completed many large-scale acquisition cases, especially what he said on the cruise ship a few days ago. It''s really wonderful." xilinyue stretched out his hand and said, "my name is xilinyue, please give me more advice."


    Originally, he said that Qiao Xuan thought he had investigated her, but when it came to cruise ships, she was relieved. After all, what happened that day was so sensational that it was not surprising that a reporter dug her bottom.


    Qiao Xuan shook hands with him politely: "hello."


    "Yesterday, chairman Sheng told me about coming for a physical examination. I''ve arranged it for you, but the two''s examinations are separate. Is there no problem?" Xilin Yue looked at Qiao Xuan and asked.


    Qiao Xuan nodded, "I have no problem."


    Sheng Liang also nodded and understood that what Xilin Yue said was to let him look at Qiao Xuan outside for a while.


    Qiao Xuan was taken to do a number of tests, but this is actually paving the way, and the final MRI scan is the focus.


    The film came out into Xilin Yue''s hand. He looked at it. The shadow in Qiao Xuan''s brain said to Sheng Liang, "this blood clot is still moving. It won''t take long to press the optic nerve. The operation must be carried out as soon as possible."


    This is what Sheng Liang has been worried about. He immediately asked, "when can I have an operation?"


    Xilin Yue sighed and said, "this place is too rich in blood vessels. A little carelessness may cause intracerebral hemorrhage. I still need to observe it carefully and study the scheme with other doctors."


    Sheng Liang said coldly, "I hope you''re not perfunctory."


    He has listened to such words too much these days. In the end, he gave him a word of apology. He has heard enough.


    "If you don''t believe me, you''d better not give her to me. I''ve already said that even if it''s an operation, I can''t guarantee the result." Xilin Yue looked at Sheng Liang''s eyes without fear.


    Sheng Liang took back his sight and looked at Qiao Xuan inside through the glass: "as long as you can save her, I can promise you any conditions."


    Xilin Yue wants to be the person in power of Xilin family. He has many ways to help him up.


    "My conditions have been told by Chairman Sheng that there will be no change. Although it is an oral agreement, I will abide by it," Xilin Yue said.


    Sheng Liang''s commitment to this man seems to have no doubt at all. Trusting him is like trusting himself.


    Even he himself was surprised at the idea.


    Sheng Liang waited for Qiao Xuan to come out at the door. Seeing her, he soon held her hand: "are you okay?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head and asked, "can you go?"


    Sheng Liang said to Xilin Yue and took Qiao Xuan out of the hospital door and got into the car. Seeing that Qiao Xuan still had a bad face, Sheng Liang helped her fasten her seat belt and asked, "what''s wrong?"


    "No, I just don''t like the smell of hospital disinfectant." Qiao Xuan said casually. In fact, she felt a little dizzy when she got up just now. Until now, that feeling is still there.


    She knew it must be because of the blood clot in her brain. It seemed that she still couldn''t find a better way to cool it, and she may really be running out of time.


    But just now, she thought of other ways to make Sheng Liang not decadent after she left.


    After leaving the hospital, Sheng Liang took her home directly. Qiao Xuan fell asleep on the way.


    Even if she didn''t want to say it, Sheng Liang could see that she was supporting hard. Her face was so bad that she leaned against the back of the chair as soon as she got on the bus. She must have fainted badly.


    Sheng Liang felt distressed for a while and didn''t wake her up. He just kept holding her neck in his hand for fear that he would flash to her when he suddenly stopped or bumped.


    Until she got home, Qiao Xuan didn''t wake up. Sheng Liang took her out of the car, sent her back to the room, gently put her on the bed, looked at her still closed eyes, bowed her head and kissed her.


    His movements were very light. He didn''t want to separate from her, and he was afraid he would wake her up.


    He didn''t think about what would happen after Qiao Xuan left him, because he didn''t believe she would leave. Since he knew her physical condition, he didn''t give up looking for a solution.


    Just like this time, he subconsciously believed Xilin Yue and believed that he must have a way to save Qiao Xuan.


    Probably because he was too eager in his mind, he didn''t realize that his actions were heavy. He realized this when he saw Qiao Xuan open his eyes.


    Qiao Xuan was really awakened by his kiss. When she opened her eyes, she saw his dark eyes. She put her hand around his neck and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Although she knew the result when she saw his look, she tried to pretend that she didn''t know anything.


    When Sheng Liang saw her wake up, he was slightly stunned, and then soon recovered his look. He pecked her discolored lip and said, "looking at you, I want to kiss all the time."


    Qiao Xuan tightened her hand, pulled him closer to herself, and then took the initiative to kiss him, gently lifting and kissing from his lips to his Adam''s apple.


    Sheng Liang was itched by her kiss and wanted to withdraw his body, but he was held tightly by Qiao Xuan. He looked down at her: "gorgeous son..."


    He knew in his heart that he could not continue. He had been depressed for so long. If he was teased by her again, he would soon be out of control.


    "Sheng Liang, don''t you want it?" Qiao Xuan hung his neck under him, his eyes blurred.


    He thought, of course he did, but he was afraid that Qiao Xuan''s body couldn''t bear it at all.


    "When you''re well, we''ll --" before Sheng Liang finished, he saw that Qiao Xuan was already unbuttoning his shirt. He hurriedly pressed her hand, "Hua''er!"


    Qiao Xuan broke off his hand and continued his movement: "it''s been two months. I''m all right."

 Chapter 306

    But that''s not what he said.


    But Qiao Xuan obviously stopped listening to him and untied his last button


    Sheng Liang has never seen Qiao Xuan so active. He even panicked. He grabbed her hand and coughed and said, "I''ll come by myself."


    No matter what, he won''t let Qiao Xuan take the initiative.


    However, she didn''t give Sheng Liang a chance to refute. Qiao Xuan took the initiative to kiss him again, but she was obviously inexperienced and almost bit Sheng Liang''s lips.


    She wants a child, and this time, she must give birth safely.


    With this child, Sheng Liang will have support and will not be defeated after she leaves.


    So now she has to make sure that there is a little thing in her stomach.


    Sheng liang thought she was too tired. He held her and lay down for a while. He was afraid that she would fall asleep. Then he kissed her and asked, "go wash now?"


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t push off any more and was carried into the bathroom by him.


    Over the past few days, Qiao Xuan has been careful, afraid to do strenuous exercise, and tried to go out as little as possible.


    Two weeks later, she secretly bought a pregnancy test stick. Looking at the two red bars on it, she cried with joy.


    This time, she will keep the child anyway.


    Also, it''s time to think about how to leave.


    What kind of way can Sheng Liang find her when he is dissatisfied with the world.


    Qiao Xuan''s cell phone suddenly rang, and she didn''t look at the number, because only a few people around her knew her cell phone number.


    "I miss you, Qiao Xuan." a hoarse and dark voice came from the other end of the mobile phone.


    Qiao Xuan''s pupil dilated instantly, and her mobile phone almost fell to the ground.


    This voice is Xilin Fu!


    Qiao Xuan knew she wouldn''t hear wrong. This voice was once her nightmare.


    "Why don''t you talk? Haven''t you seen me for a long time? Have you forgotten my existence?" Xilin Fu''s laughter seemed to cling to Qiao Xuan''s eardrum.


    Indeed, she is about to forget his existence.


    Although Sheng Liang didn''t tell her what happened that day, in the news, Xilin Fu''s wanted notices were everywhere in the street, and she could probably guess.


    But she didn''t expect that after such a short time, Xilin Fu appeared again.


    "Where are you?" Qiao Xuan swallowed hard and barely made a sound.


    Xilin Fu said arrogantly as usual, "ask me where I am. Do you want to tell Sheng Liang or call the police directly?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t answer, because she really thought so just now.


    After waiting for a while, she didn''t speak. Xilin said again, "I want to see you. Come out."


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t know how he can be so confident. She is sure she will see him.


    "Sorry, I won''t see you, and I hope you won''t find me again. After this call, I''ll call the police. The police will monitor my mobile phone, so -"


    "It''s really a woman with a clear mind. It''s not in vain. I''ve been looking for you for so many years. I''ve also let Sheng Liang, and I''ve always been determined to you." Xilin Fu said, and suddenly the conversation changed. "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I''m in Sheng Liang''s company now. Sheng Shi''s security system is really poor. I sneaked in just by pretending."


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan was immediately surprised: "what are you going to do!"


    "What I can do, of course, is to settle accounts with him. He can''t help pulling me from the clouds to hell. I don''t want to settle with him." Xilin Fu''s voice was gnashing his teeth.


    At this time, Qiao Xuan actually heard Xu Yi''s voice from her mobile phone. Originally, she was lucky and thought that Xilin Fu must be lying to her. How could he run to Shengshi under the wanted of the police.


    But just heard Xu Yi''s voice, which really startled her. Xilin Fu really went to the prosperous age!


    "Xilin Fu, listen, if you dare to touch him, I will never let you go!" Qiao Xuan hung up the phone.


    Without hesitation, she immediately called Sheng Liang, but Sheng Liang was probably in a meeting and her mobile phone was turned off.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly called Xu Yi. As soon as she got through, she said, "Xilin Fu may have gone to the company. Please let someone check it thoroughly, especially around Sheng Liang. There must be no new people. Xilin Fu doesn''t know what identity he used to go in, but his goal must be Sheng Liang."


    "Xilin Fu?" Xu Yi was also a little surprised, and then said, "I know. I''ll let someone check it now."


    Xu Yi hung up the phone and found the security manager, asked him to arrange people to search layer by layer, and checked the monitoring at all levels, but no suspicious figure was found.


    Xu Yi waited outside the conference room. Seeing Sheng Liang coming out, he immediately came forward and whispered to him, "just now miss Qiao called and said that Xilin Fu might have sneaked in."


    Sheng Liang also just opened his cell phone and saw many missed calls from Qiao Xuan. He said to Xu Yi, "let the security guards withdraw first. As long as the building is blocked and the people in and out are strictly checked, he can''t run away."


    After listening to him, Xu Yi suddenly realized that Xilin Fu might deliberately make them mess by taking advantage of Qiao Xuan''s worry about Sheng Liang, so he could easily sneak in.


    "I see."


    Watching Xu Yi leave, Sheng Liang calls Qiao Xuan back while returning to the office.


    Qiao Xuan looked at his number and immediately asked, "Sheng Liang, are you okay?"


    "It''s all right. I was in a meeting just now. I heard Xu Yi say that you don''t have to be nervous. Xilin can''t come in anymore. I guess he just deliberately scares you and asks you to come to me, so he can know where you are." in fact, this is what Sheng Liang is most worried about.


    Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment. Now she understands why caring is chaotic. She didn''t even think of this. Moreover, Xilin Fu may use her mouth to mess Shengshi''s security system, so he has an opportunity.


    Qiao Xuan sighed, "I was too flustered to consider these. Fortunately, you were not affected by me."

 Chapter 307

    "I know you are too worried about me," Sheng Liang softened his tone and said softly. "I went back early in the evening. I just bought a new recipe and made delicious food for you today."


    Qiao Xuan was so warm by him that she smiled and said, "Sheng Liang, if you do this again, I will really be spoiled."


    "No, in that case, you can only stay by my side." Sheng Liang said. He heard some noise in his ear. He immediately became alert and said to Qiao Xuan, "I have something else to do. I won''t say it first."


    "Well, you''re busy." she was relieved to know that he was all right.


    Sheng Liang hung up the phone, took a look at the air outlet of the air conditioner, went out quietly, said to the Secretary outside and asked her to find someone to move the ladder in.


    After a while, Xu Yi brought someone. Sheng Liang sat at his desk and motioned to Xu Yi. Xu Yi immediately asked someone to put the ladder away. He climbed up slowly.


    After removing the baffle at the air outlet, Xu Yi took a flashlight and took a picture inside. He didn''t see anyone, but he saw some footprints on the inner pipe wall, indicating that someone really hid here.


    Xu Yi took some photos with his mobile phone and showed it to Sheng Liang: "can it really be Xilin Fu?"


    Sheng Liang is not sure. If Xilin Fu were here, would he be willing to return empty handed?


    However, Xilin''s reappearance is already a street mouse. Even if he really hides here, it is possible. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Even he won''t think of it, let alone the police.


    "Call Ling Hui and ask someone to clean the air-conditioning vents of the whole building."


    "OK." Xu Yi said and took people out.


    Sheng Liang looked at the place just now and thought that many days ago, he might have been under Xilin Fu''s surveillance. He still shuddered. Fortunately, Qiao Xuan hasn''t been here since he moved back to Shengshi.


    Just thinking, Xu Yi knocked on the door and came in and said, "Mr. Xilin is here again."


    "Xilin Yue?" Sheng Liang pondered and said, "please invite him in."


    Xu Yi stepped back and made an invitation gesture. Xilin Yue then came in and saw Sheng Liang. He smiled and said, "when I came up, I saw the security guards in your company are very busy. What''s the matter? I found the wanted man?"


    If he didn''t already know, Xilin Yue was too smart. He saw the problem at a glance.


    Sheng Liang said, "I always thought that your Xilin family was an iron wall and airtight. I didn''t expect that the wall fell and everyone pushed it."


    Since Xilin''s recovery, the family has been busy. Some are cashing in and preparing for immigration, some are looking for a backer to divide up their property, and others, like Xilin Yue, take risks to find someone to subscribe.


    However, the Xilin family is now in danger, and the wall of thousands of miles is about to be destroyed. Who will take such a big risk investment, but Xilin Yue can hit it with one blow. It can be seen that this man''s vision and strategy are first-class. If he is only at ease to be a doctor, he will really be inferior.


    Xilin Yue smiled and said, "there is no iron wall in the world. It''s just for outsiders."


    Although he smiled genially, Sheng Liang could still see some helplessness from his smile. He realized that maybe Xilin Yue wanted to be in power, not because he was ambitious, but maybe he didn''t want to be separated from the family.


    Sheng liang thought of himself. Isn''t that the same at the beginning? He would rather betray his relatives. In fact, the result he wants is that he doesn''t want the company to fall into the hands of outsiders.


    Thinking of this, Sheng Liang felt more pity for Xilin Yue.


    "Did you come to me with a plan to treat Qiao Xuan?" he was still more concerned about the problem.


    Xilin Yue shook his head: "no, I came to you to ask you to do me a personal favor. I have a few friends who have set up a magic show company, but because of their small reputation and can''t sell tickets, they are about to go bankrupt. Therefore, I want to ask you to help arrange several performances for them in your theater."


    Sheng Liang looked at him and said, "although you don''t do media, it''s not too difficult as long as you are willing to help. Why come to me."


    Xilin Yue smiled nervously: "because it''s inconvenient for me to come forward, my mother doesn''t like me to touch those things, and she never allows me to be friends with performers."


    Probably aware that his statement was not convincing, he explained: "In fact, my biological father was a famous Peking Opera player, but later, because of some of their rules, he was not allowed to marry my mother. My mother was forced to return to Xilin''s house before I was born and never remarried again, but she never allowed me to contact actors. I didn''t want to cause disaster to my friends, but I really can''t think of anyone else who can help me, I have to come to you. "


    Listening to his tone of voice, I must be in a situation where there is really nothing to do before I ask him to be a partner.


    "Business is business. I also want to consider the return. You know, if their performances can''t sell tickets, I will lose not only their ticket prices." there are all the expenses of the commercial performances that have been squeezed out, "so I want to see their rehearsal first."


    Xilin Yue immediately replied, "of course it''s no problem. It should be. When are you free?"


    "Tonight, I''ll inform the person in charge of the theater and ask them to vacate the venue. You can ask your friends to prepare." Sheng Liang looked at the time and said, "at eight o''clock in the evening, let them arrive on time. I''ll go and have a look."


    Xilin Yue seemed a little excited. In fact, he came with a try attitude. He didn''t expect Sheng Liang to be so simple. He folded his hands and said, "thank you. I thank you for them."


    "Don''t thank me, I said, I want to repay, so let them work hard to perform is what you should do." Sheng Liang glanced at the air-conditioning vent above and said, "just right, I also want to ask you for help."


    "Please say." Sheng Liang helped him so much. Naturally, he should spare no effort.


    "Can I have some anesthetic?"


    Xilin Yue was stunned. Anesthetics are strictly supervised. Even if the hospital is their home, he is not so easy to take them out. However, he also knows that if it is a simple thing, Sheng Liang doesn''t have to speak to him at all.


    "OK." Xilin Yue promised, "I''ll give it to you another day."


    Sheng Liang nodded: "thank you."


    After Xilin Yue left, Sheng Liang informed the person in charge of the theater and asked them to arrange the time.


    In fact, one of the main reasons why he promised Xilin Yue was that he wanted to take Qiao Xuan to see it. For so long, Qiao Xuan rarely went out. She must have been bored for a long time, and he knew that Qiao Xuan liked magic performances very much.

 Chapter 308

    Sheng Liang went back early in the afternoon. He promised Qiao Xuan that he would learn to cook the dishes on the new menu for her.


    Qiao Xuan can''t describe this man''s way of expressing her love with emotion.


    And even if he was wearing an apron, he couldn''t hide the light on him.


    But the more happy the moment is, the more Qiao Xuan will think of their upcoming departure. She really hopes that God must be kind to him.


    "After dinner later, we''ll go to the magic show." Sheng Liang said with vegetables in her bowl.


    "Where to?" Qiao Xuan didn''t know how he suddenly thought of this.


    "That Xilin Yue came to ask me for help today. It''s his friend''s team. I promised to let them audition in the theater."


    Qiao Xuan thought of the gentle man. Before, she only thought Sheng Liang was a cooperative relationship with him. Unexpectedly, they have helped each other in private.


    However, that man is completely different from Xilin Fu. He looks very nice. It would be nice if he could make friends with Sheng Liang.


    After dinner, Sheng Liang drove Qiao Xuan to the theater. Originally, drama was performed here. It was also because the previous boss did not manage well, so he transferred it to Sheng Liang. It has just improved for more than a year.


    However, although Sheng Liang told Xilin Yue that business is business, in fact, he really doesn''t point to this place to make money. Probably everyone will have something in his heart.


    When they arrived, those people had arrived. The theater manager said that they had been here for a long time and had been preparing props. It can be seen how much they attached importance to this opportunity.


    Qiao Xuan liked to watch magic when she was a child. She thought it was very magical. Although she later knew that it was all props, she still admired the speed of these people. She understood that it was not easy to work under the stage for ten years.


    Although it''s not a formal performance, these people still work hard to show their best. When the stage lights are on, they seem to have opened a new life.


    There are only Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan, as well as several theater staff. Qiao Xuan is very involved. She is not only infected by the seriousness of the people on the stage, but also thinks of some other things.


    Especially when she saw a period of escape from the fire, she stared, as if she had completely fallen into that atmosphere.


    Sheng Liang looked at her nervously and thought she was afraid. He gently hugged her and said, "don''t worry, it''s fake."


    Qiao Xuan returns to her senses and smiles at Sheng Liang.


    But until the end of the performance, Qiao Xuan was still thinking about it.


    After thanking the curtain on the stage, Sheng Liang stood up and said to them, "the performance is wonderful."


    The man standing in the middle asked carefully, "that..."


    Sheng Liang knew what he wanted to ask and said to the manager around him, "look at the arrangement and arrange more sessions for them. In terms of publicity, I will let the company''s planning department be responsible."


    "OK, chairman," said the manager.


    Those people also immediately thanked Sheng Liang.


    When Sheng Liang took Qiao Xuan out, he turned around and saw that Xilin Yue was also there, but he sat in the last row. No one noticed him because there was no light.


    "Thank you." Xilin Yue said to Sheng Liang in a shallow voice.


    "A little effort." Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and asked Xilin Yue, "it''s so late. Why don''t we have a supper together."


    Xilin Yue nodded.


    They sat down in a nearby restaurant. Xilin Yue had to treat, so they gave him the order.


    Anyway, Qiao Xuan had just eaten before she came. She was not very hungry and had no problem with what to eat.


    "I''ll go to the bathroom." Sheng Liang stood up.


    Qiao Xuan and Xilin Yue were left. They didn''t know each other well, so they didn''t say anything at all.


    Qiao Xuan drank a drink and suddenly thought of something. She raised her eyes and asked Xilin Yue, "those magicians just now are your friends?"


    "Yes, what''s the matter?" Xilin Yue carefully divided the tableware for them.


    "Nothing, just interested in magic. If I can, can I visit their props?" Qiao Xuan asked casually.


    Xilin Yue smiled and said, "there are taboos in their business. I''m afraid it won''t work if others say so, but miss Qiao is another matter."


    Because she is Sheng Liang''s girlfriend, and Sheng Liang is their benefactor. That''s what Xilin Yue means.


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan bit the straw and said, "don''t tell Sheng Liang about this. He doesn''t like me running around."


    Xilin Yue looked at her and knew that Qiao Xuan was lying, but he didn''t expose it. He just nodded and said with a smile, "I know."


    Qiao Xuan left Xilin Yue''s mobile phone number and said to take her to see magic when it was convenient for him.


    Xilin Yue didn''t refuse.


    Only after Sheng Liang came back, they tacitly agreed that no one spoke again.


    In fact, Qiao Xuan asked Xilin Yue to take her to see magic. There was another purpose. Sheng Liang didn''t tell her anything after their hospital examination last time. Although she knew the result was bad, she still wanted to know more.


    It happened that Sheng Liang seemed very busy in those days and came back very late in the evening. Qiao Xuan found an afternoon and called Xilin Yue.


    She knows that doctors usually operate in the morning and in the afternoon.


    Xilin Yue came out soon, drove his car and took Qiao Xuan to the theater.


    On the way, Qiao Xuan asked tentatively, "I heard you asked Sheng Liang to subscribe for Xilin''s shares. What benefits did you promise Sheng liang?"


    Xilinyue had to admire the woman''s sharpness. She really hit the nail on the head.


    "Didn''t Sheng Liang tell you?" Xilin Yue asked with a smile.


    It was because he didn''t say that she felt abnormal, so she suspected it was related to her.


    "Is it related to me," Qiao Xuan turned to look at Xilin Yue, "is it related to what''s in my mind?"


    Xilin Yue is obviously not good at lying and is directly pointed out by Qiao Xuan. He doesn''t know how to deal with it for a moment.


    Seeing his silence, Qiao Xuan knew she was right.


    Sure enough, Sheng Liang took such a big risk because of her.


    "I want to ask you something. I hope you can answer me truthfully," Qiao Xuan said solemnly. "If I refuse treatment, how long can I live?"


    Xilin Yue unconsciously tightened his hand holding the steering wheel. As a doctor, he had seen too many lives and deaths, so sometimes he was numb. However, when hearing Qiao Xuan''s question, he hesitated and said, "please forgive me, I can''t tell you."


    This is what he promised Sheng Liang, and in the face of Qiao Xuan, he had a trace of compassion. That was the feeling that he thought he didn''t exist for a long time.

 Chapter 309

    Qiao Xuan didn''t force it. She knew that if Xilin Yue didn''t tell her, it must have been inspired by Sheng Liang.


    But it also shows that her situation is really bad.


    She lowered her head and asked softly, "I just want to know, can I have another year?"


    At least, she has to wait for the child to be born.


    "Although the situation is not optimistic, there is still hope of cure. Sheng Liang didn''t give up, so don''t lose heart." xilinyue turned to see Qiao Xuan''s gloomy expression, and the unbearable feeling in his heart became stronger.


    In a practical sense, Qiao Xuan is now his patient. He has always been kind to his patients, but he will never pay too much feelings, especially those who know that they will die sooner or later. He can''t experience it every day. It''s too cruel.


    But just now, he had a strange feeling for Qiao Xuan.


    "It seems that you know your body very well, but Sheng Liang doesn''t know you already know. Aren''t you tired of hiding from each other?" he really doesn''t understand this mood.


    "Even if he knows, as long as it''s not from his mouth, I can pretend not to know." Qiao Xuan said with a smile, "you may think I''m very hypocritical, but I''m really afraid that we don''t know how to face each other after we pierce this layer of window paper."


    Xilin Yue doesn''t think they are hypocritical. Some feelings go deep. They both live only for each other and just want each other to be happy. On the contrary, this feeling makes him envy.


    But he knew that he might not meet.


    If you are not willing to pay, why should you ask the other party to pay all your sincerity.


    When they said this, they had nothing to say. After a moment of silence, Xilin Yue looked outside and said, "here we are."


    They got out of the car and went in through the side door. They saw that the stage was performing. The audience was full. Compared with that day, those people performed harder.


    "It seems that your chairman Jiasheng really has appeal. After these games, their popularity must be improved by several levels. Then, the TV station should smell it." Xilin Yue was a little teasing in his smile.


    Qiao Xuan always felt that this man should not do business. He was more suitable to wear a white coat and live like fireworks.


    Of course, she doesn''t mean that Sheng Liang is smelling of copper. Sheng Liang is another special existence.


    They quietly went backstage and saw that the people who were about to play were still seizing the time to practice. Her eyes were attracted by the fire again.


    "It''s not really fire, just phosphorous powder, without heat." Xilin Yue explained to her along with her eyes.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t speak. She just kept it in her heart.


    Standing behind the curtain, xilinyue saw the magician on the stage looking for the audience to cooperate with the performance. He asked Qiao Xuan, "do you want to participate?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head. She was not thinking about it at all, but was planning to leave.


    At the end of the performance, they could hear the applause of the audience backstage. When they went out, they saw many people take pictures with the magician on the stage.


    The theater was a little dark, and the flash of the mobile phone rang, so Qiao Xuan didn''t notice that someone''s lens was aimed at her and Xilin Yue.


    Xilinyue wants to send her back, but Qiao Xuan refuses. Sheng Liang doesn''t want more people to know where they live now.


    But Xilin Yue insisted again and again that she was not at ease to go back alone.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the time and had to say, "otherwise you''d better send me to Shengliang."


    Xilin Yue was suddenly a little lost at that moment, but he couldn''t tell why he felt this way.


    He took Qiao Xuan to the gate of Shengshi and watched Qiao Xuan go in before he drove away.


    On Sheng Liang''s mobile phone, someone has sent him a picture of Qiao Xuan and Xilin Yue together. When he was watching, Qiao Xuan just pushed the door in, and he subconsciously turned off the mobile phone screen.


    "Why are you here so late?" Sheng Liang stood up and went to hug her.


    Qiao Xuan was surrounded by him and could just avoid his sight: "you always come home late these days. I''m bored at home alone. I want to see you. You''re busy with you. Don''t worry about me. I''ll wait for you."


    She said that she was bored at home, so she came to see him, but just now, she was clearly with Xilin Yue.


    "There are some things to deal with in the company recently. I''ll work with them. It should be all right in a few days." Sheng Liang pulled her to the sofa and sat down, "wait for me here first. I''ll be fine soon."


    "HMM." Qiao Xuan watched him return to his seat and continued to be busy. She picked up a magazine nearby and turned it up.


    Sheng Liang raised his eyes to see her from time to time. Seeing that she was serious, he lowered his head and continued to work.


    Finally, after reading the last plan, Sheng Liang moved his neck and looked up to see that Qiao Xuan was sleeping on the sofa.


    He walked slowly over, opened the magazine in her hand to one side, covered her with his suit and coat, and squatted down to look at her.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t sleep very hard either. She felt someone nearby. She opened her eyes and saw Sheng Liang looking at her. She immediately sat up: "why am I asleep? Are you finished?"


    "Well, let''s go home." Sheng Liang helped her up.


    When passing through the corridor and walking to the elevator, Qiao Xuan saw Sheng Liang and looked back. She looked a little nervous and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "Nothing." Sheng Liang reluctantly smiled.


    The security guards of the company have searched all corners of the whole building these days, but they can''t find Xilin Fu''s shadow, but Sheng Liang can feel that he is here.


    And now, Xilin Fu has lost everything. He must have jumped over the wall. Sheng Liang can''t imagine what he will do.


    Sheng Liang has been holding Qiao Xuan''s shoulder and always protects her under her wings.


    In fact, he had doubts before. Xilin Fu''s goal was not him. Otherwise, he hid in the air-conditioning vent of his office at that time. He had plenty of opportunities to retaliate against him, but he didn''t do that. He might be waiting for Qiao Xuan.


    Xilin Fu is really a pervert, especially for Qiao Xuan. He has crazy and paranoid feelings, so it''s not surprising even if he really thinks so.


    Take the elevator down and walk through the hall. Sheng Liang even heard footsteps behind him. He was about to take Qiao Xuan away quickly. Xu Yi came. Sheng Liang looked back and didn''t hear footsteps again.


    But what happened tonight made him guess that Xilin Fu must not be as strong as before, so he didn''t appear again when he heard that there were more people.

 Chapter 310

    Sheng Liang asks Qiao Xuan to get on the bus first. He closes the door and asks Xu Yi in a deep voice, "what happened?"


    Xu Yi came back suddenly so late. Something must have happened.


    Xu Yi looks at Qiao Xuan in the car and whispers to Sheng Liang, "someone just sent me some photos with Miss Qiao and Xilin Yue on them."


    "Well, I know. I also received it. Since you have it there, you can check it and see who sent it." Sheng Liang said.


    Xu Yi listened to him and hurriedly said, "Chairman, I mean..."


    Sheng Liang knows what he wants to say. Qiao Xuan and Xilin Yue are the key, but he doesn''t seem to care about it at all. He says to Xu Yi, "go first."


    After Xu Yi left, Sheng Liang got into the car. Qiao Xuan looked at him and asked, "what''s the matter, Xu Yi has something to do with you?"


    "It''s all right," said Sheng Liang. "Let''s stay in a hotel tonight."


    Although it is still uncertain whether Xilin Fu has been following them, Sheng Liang carefully chooses not to go back to their place for the time being. If Xilin Fu knows about it, Qiao Xuan may be really dangerous.


    Qiao Xuan saw that he insisted and didn''t ask him why.


    When she got to the hotel room, Sheng Liang went to take a bath first. Qiao Xuan heard his cell phone ring and wanted to give it to him, but she picked it up and saw that it was a picture sent by someone.


    The most important thing is that these photos are hers and Xilin Yue''s!


    Qiao Xuan knows Sheng Liang''s mobile phone password. After she unties it, she finds that not only these, but also the number has been sent to him before.


    When Qiao Xuan was watching, Sheng Liang came out of the bathroom. When she saw her holding his cell phone, she felt bad: "what are you looking at?"


    Qiao Xuan raised her head. She couldn''t believe it in her eyes: "did you let someone follow me?"


    Not only the photos of her and Xilin Yue in the theater, but also the photos of them talking in private in the restaurant. Sheng Liang was asked to check her at that time, so it was an excuse to go to the bathroom at that time?


    Qiao Xuan really can''t believe that Sheng Liang will do this, but now the evidence is here. She can''t believe it if she doesn''t want to believe it.


    "Hua''er, listen to me," Sheng Liang tried to hold her. "I didn''t let anyone follow you, and I don''t know who sent the photos. Xu Yi has gone to check it, and there will be results soon."


    When he said this, Qiao Xuan didn''t move any more, because what she cared about was not whether he followed her. She was just afraid that her secret would be exposed.


    Now, she must not let Sheng Liang know what she wants to do, or her previous efforts will be wasted.


    When she calmed down, she thought of another thing. She looked at Sheng Liang and asked, "are you angry to see me with Xilin Yue?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head, knew she didn''t believe it, and said, "it''s not angry, it''s jealous."


    He told her not to push him to others, so she changed her method?


    Seeing that he was wronged, Qiao Xuan thought about how he felt when he saw those photos, and she not only didn''t feel guilty at all, but also accused him of tracking him. No wonder he would be wronged.


    Qiao Xuan put her hands around his waist and said softly, "I''m sorry. I met him because I want to know something about him. I absolutely have no other ideas."


    "Not interested in him?" Xilin Yue''s type that looks very likable. Does Qiao Xuan really have no feeling at all?


    In fact, Sheng Liang has always been a confident person, but in front of Qiao Xuan, he is always not confident, especially after Rococo.


    Seeing that he was just jealous and didn''t study deeply, Qiao Xuan took his face, kissed it, coaxed him and said, "I''m wrong. I''ll never see him again, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan had never spoken to him in this tone before, so when she said so, it was like a feather brushing in Sheng Liang''s heart, itching.


    He also kissed Qiao Xuan and said, "I forgive you this time. Don''t have another time."


    Qiao Xuan''s flattering smile: "absolutely not."


    Xu Yi found the person who sent the photos and soon reported to Sheng Liang, but the man insisted that he just wanted to take these photos and threaten Sheng Liang to give him money.


    But Sheng Liang knew it was definitely not. Otherwise, he would ask him for money when he sent it for the first time, but he didn''t mention the money until Xu Yi found him.


    So Sheng Liang knew that he was ordered.


    And the purpose is so clear that they want to make a misunderstanding between them. Who else will do this except Xilin Fu.


    However, this also just shows that Sheng Liang''s doubt is right. Xilin Fu came for Qiao Xuan.


    Only this time, Sheng Liang will never let him succeed.


    Although Sheng Liang promised not to see Xilin Yue again, Qiao Xuan met him when she went to the theater again, and she couldn''t turn around and leave.


    Xilin Yue saw her with imperceptible joy in his eyes. He knew that he came here not to see magic, but to see her again. He just didn''t expect that she really came.


    "You''re there too." Qiao Xuan said hello generously when she couldn''t hide.


    Xilin Yue smiled: "it seems that you really like watching magic shows."


    Qiao Xuan did not refute, but this time, she more clearly went to the magician who was preparing the props and asked, "can you teach me the magic of escaping from the fire?"


    The magician was stunned and looked at Xilin Yue standing behind him. He saw that Xilin Yue was also frowning slightly. He said sorry, "sorry, I''m afraid it won''t work. It''s too dangerous."


    The magician said that it was time for him to play. He left Qiao Xuan an apologetic smile and went on stage.


    Qiao Xuan was disappointed, but she still went to their prop box and wanted to get the phosphor.


    As soon as she stretched out her hand, she was caught by Xilin Yue, and she quickly pulled it back.


    "I''m sorry," Xilin Yue said, knowing that he had lost his manners, "I don''t know what you want to do, but I advise you to give up that idea."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t speak, but it was obvious that she had made up her mind and not everyone could stop it.


    Seeing that she didn''t respond, Xilin Yue suddenly grabbed her and went out. Qiao Xuan shook her hands a few times without shaking his hand. She said angrily, "what are you going to do!"


    Xilin Yue didn''t answer. He still took her out of the theater, took her to the restaurant they went to last time, found a seat for her to sit down, and he sat opposite her.


    "Do you want to leave Shengliang through this magic show?" Xilin Yue asked directly.


    Qiao Xuan suddenly looked up at him and saw that he was not asking, but affirming. She whispered, "this is my decision. It has nothing to do with you."


    "Who says it has nothing to do with me? You are my patient now." Xilin Yue''s expression became serious.

 Chapter 311

    Patient, the word makes Qiao Xuan hurt. If she can, she doesn''t want to leave the person she loves. But if she doesn''t go now, Sheng Liang will soon find that she is pregnant again and force her to kill her child like last time.


    She just wants to leave him the closest person in the world, a child of both of them. When she dies, the child can accompany Sheng Liang instead of her.


    "You are my doctor. Don''t you know more about my current situation? I don''t have much time. I just want to give him a baby. Can''t even this little wish be realized?" Qiao Xuan looked at Xilin Yue. The pain and despair were so obvious, but in this despair, there was a glimmer of hope.


    Xilin Yue was deeply shocked by her eyes. He had seen many people''s heart like death before they died, or he was relieved to see through everything. However, like Qiao Xuan, he was clearly desperate but strong enough to make people pity. He really saw it for the first time.


    At that moment, he couldn''t bear to refuse her request: "but..."


    Seeing his shaking, Qiao Xuan immediately grabbed his arm and said, "can you help me? I can''t find anyone to help me."


    Xilin Yue looked down at her, grabbed his hand, sighed and asked, "how do you want me to help you?"


    How to help? In fact, Qiao Xuan has no specific plan. When she is with Sheng Liang every day, she wants to slow down the time and have more memories with him. Therefore, every day, she seems to live in suffering. Every time she closes her eyes, she is afraid that she will never wake up, and she still has a lot of things to do.


    "In a few days, I may have an early pregnancy reaction, so I have to be ready to leave at any time." Qiao Xuan looked at Xilin Yue and said, "if you are willing to help me, I hope you can help me complete the magic when I need it."


    Xilin Yue was silent for a long time. He knew that if Sheng Liang knew they were planning these, he would kill him.


    But looking at Qiao Xuan''s helpless appearance, he finally couldn''t bear to nod and say, "OK, I promise you."


    "Thank you." Qiao Xuan smiled at him, but the smile was so pale.


    Xilin Yue asked, "where will you go after you leave? Will someone take care of you?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "he will be very sad at that time. He won''t think it''s false. I have time to leave mulberry city. Don''t worry, I will have a way to take care of myself."


    Xilin Yue just looked at Qiao Xuan. He thought he hadn''t been in love for so long. Maybe he was waiting for her.


    "Shall I arrange the rest?" Xilin Yue said seriously and surely.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t refuse either.


    Maybe they were thinking about their future life, and they didn''t talk anymore.


    When she noticed someone approaching, Qiao Xuan looked up and saw Xilin coming towards her step by step. Her face immediately turned pale.


    Xilin Yue saw her face and looked back and was surprised: "seventh uncle..."


    Xilin Fu didn''t look at Xilin Yue either. He went straight over and grabbed Qiao Xuan and left.


    Xilin Yue quickly stood up and blocked their way: "seventh uncle, what do you want to do, let her go!"


    Xilin Fu suddenly picked up a wine bottle from the adjacent table with his other hand and directly hit Xilin Yue''s head: "mind your own business!"


    Xilin Yue didn''t react for a moment. He didn''t come back until he heard Qiao Xuan''s scream, but it was too late. The wine bottle hit his head and broke immediately, and his forehead immediately bled.


    "Xilin Yue!" Qiao Xuan took a step forward and wanted to see his situation, but Xilin Fu dragged him back. In a hurry, she stepped on Xilin Fu''s foot, took advantage of his distraction, raised his arm and bit the back of his hand.


    Even so, Xilin Fu didn''t let go. The blood flowed down his arm, and Qiao Xuan''s mouth was filled with a strong smell of rust.


    Seeing that he still refused to let go, Qiao Xuan bit harder and looked into his eyes full of cruelty.


    Xilin Fu loosened his hand because his hand was numb and out of his subjective control, but he would soon grasp her with his other hand.


    At that time, Xilin Yue suddenly pushed him hard, and then took Qiao Xuan and ran out.


    Xilin Fu also reacted quickly and immediately caught up. At the door of the restaurant, Xilin Fu almost caught up with them. A car suddenly sped up and blocked his way.


    The people in the car are Sheng Liang.


    When Qiao Xuan looked back while running, she saw Sheng Liang get out of the car and fight with Xilin Fu.


    She slowly released Xilin Yue, turned and ran back. Xilin Yue stopped and looked back to see Sheng Liang. Only then did she know why she wanted to go back.


    Xilin Yue was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of something. He didn''t run back with Qiao Xuan, but ran in another direction.


    Qiao Xuan ran to the two people who were fighting and saw that Xilin Fu was like a madman. The light in her eyes was as fierce as a beast.


    He must have vented all his resentment over the past few months. Facing such an opponent, Sheng Liang was obviously overwhelmed.


    Seeing that Xilin Fu picked up a light box on the roadside and smashed it at Sheng Liang, Sheng Liang didn''t stand firm after narrowly avoiding it. Xilin Fu immediately kicked at Sheng Liang again. Qiao Xuan hurried over and opened her arms to block Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu''s feet stopped only a few centimeters from Qiao Xuan''s face.


    "That''s it," said Qiao Xuan, gasping for fear. "Don''t entangle any more. Our relationship should have ended more than ten years ago. If you leave now, we''ll treat you as if we haven''t seen you. Change your city and identity, and you can start again."


    Xilin Fu looked at her with a soft look in his fierce eyes: "if you come with me, I''ll let him go. Otherwise, someone must die here today."


    Before Qiao Xuan spoke, Sheng Liang said, "do you think you can go today? You won''t be given such a chance this time."


    Seeing that Xilin Fu came directly to drag Qiao Xuan without saying anything, Sheng Liang immediately pulled Qiao Xuan behind him, and then fought with Xilin Fu again.


    The two men are equal, almost regardless of top and bottom, but if they continue like this, they must consume a lot of physical strength. Qiao Xuan is thinking about how to end the fight.


    There was a sudden cry next to her. She didn''t see what was going on. It was already burning. When Qiao Xuan saw Xilin Yue gesturing to her, she suddenly realized.


    She looked back at Sheng Liang, the man she loved miserably. Even if she was too reluctant, she couldn''t hesitate any more.


    Now is the best time.

 Chapter 312

    "Sheng Liang, I love you." she said suddenly. Her smile was dazzling in the light of the fire.


    Sheng Liang was stunned immediately, so he didn''t notice Xilin Fu''s action, but when he saw Qiao Xuan rushing over, he suddenly regained his mind, took out a syringe from his pocket and stabbed it into Xilin Fu''s shoulder.


    It''s the anesthetic xilinyue gave him.


    But the anesthetic can''t have an immediate effect. Xilin Fu''s action was confiscated. He was supposed to wave Sheng Liang away, because Qiao Xuan suddenly rushed over and turned into waving Qiao Xuan away.


    Seeing this, Xilin Yue slapped the fire light here again. Qiao Xuan was unstable and fell directly into the fire. The fire light swallowed her in an instant.


    Xilin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had prepared and put an air cushion below. Qiao Xuan would be fine even if she fell on it.


    However, Sheng Liang and Xilin Fu were stunned. They both ran forward for a few steps, but they couldn''t open their eyes because of the other props prepared by Xilin Yue. Xilin Fu''s anesthetic came up and fell straight to the ground, only their eyes were wide open.


    The clerks in the nearby store thought it was really on fire. They pulled a water pipe from the store to put out the fire. Just a few times, the fire went out, and only a few steel rings were left.


    Sheng Liang still didn''t recover from his shock. When he saw Qiao Xuan fall into the fire, his mind was blank, and even his breathing seemed to stop.


    Ling Hui came with the police, carried Xilin Fu, who was knocked down by hemp, to the police car, then looked at Sheng Liang and asked, "are you okay?"


    Sheng Liang looked down at the debris on the ground and understood what was going on, but it was like a person who had a too real nightmare. After waking up, he still couldn''t distinguish between dream and reality. He didn''t move for a long time, but just stood there blankly.


    How long did Qiao Xuan plan for such elaborate arrangement? Was it in her plan since she suddenly forgave him at that time?


    Is she saying goodbye to him for all the happiness and sweetness she has given him for so long? This woman, how self righteous she is!


    Sheng Liang regretted that something was wrong at that time, so he should be aware of it. He should always take her with him and look at her well, so as not to let her escape.


    He was too careless.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head. The coolness of the night in early summer dyed him all over. His back looked so lonely.


    But Qiao Xuan can''t see these.


    She has been sitting in Xilin Yue''s car and left the boundary of Sang city.


    She dared not think about Sheng Liang''s expression and mood at this time. Such a clumsy cover up could not hide from him, but just to buy herself some time to leave.


    He must hate her now.


    That is, as soon as they left, the entrance and exit of Sang city was blocked, but Qiao Xuan was not found until dawn.


    Sheng Liang understood that if she made up her mind to go, she wouldn''t let him find her.


    But what he didn''t expect was that he disappeared together with Xilin Yue. The man gave up everything he was about to get and followed Qiao Xuan.


    He and Qiao Xuan only met a few times.


    In a small town more than 200 kilometers away from sang City, Xilin Yue took Qiao Xuan into a small courtyard. This was once the place where Xilin Yue grew up. At that time, he was not accepted by the Xilin family, so he was raised in the hometown of a maid. Later, when he grew up, the maid died and he bought the house.


    "I thought I wouldn''t come back in my life. Unexpectedly, it''s my own arrangement." Xilin Yue smiled and said to Qiao Xuan, "you sit for a while and I''ll clean up."


    Fortunately, although this place is a small place, it is not backward at all. There are all kinds of supermarkets, restaurants and shopping malls nearby.


    Moreover, it is full of villages. The environment is very good and the air is very fresh. You can see stars all over the sky on the night of early summer.


    After a busy day, they finally cleaned up the small yard inside and outside, bought daily necessities, and Qiao Xuan cooked the first meal.


    "How delicious." Xilin Yue boasted, "this is definitely the most delicious home cooked dish I have ever eaten."


    He is now wearing a short sleeved shirt with blue and white plaid, blue jeans and a white face. He looks absolutely like a college student.


    However, at his age, ordinary people are really studying in college. He just experienced more things than others.


    Wearing ordinary clothes, Qiao Xuan also looks like her sister next door. Her hair is simply tied with rubber bands. A few strands hang down. She gently covers it behind her ears.


    Qiao Xuan advised Xilin Yue that he should go back. They are not relatives. He has no reason to stay and take care of her.


    But Xilin Yue insisted on not going. He said, "the previous life was not what I wanted. It''s good to be free now."


    But Qiao Xuan still feels she owes him, but she doesn''t know how to make up for it.


    That day, Qiao Xuan came back from the outside and said to Xilin Yue, "I see there is basically no decent outpatient service here. Otherwise, you can open an outpatient service. You can''t waste your medical skills."


    And it''s definitely superb medicine.


    Xilin Yue thinks it makes sense that they live here. Although he and Qiao Xuan are not short of money, they do nothing every day and are really boring, so they agree.


    Xilin Yue used to be a neurosurgeon, but he studied western medicine by analogy. It''s hard for him to open an outpatient service in such a small place.


    They quickly found a facade, which was not too conspicuous, but the rent was cheap. Qiao Xuan didn''t think he cared about the rent, but thought of her for fear that the cool people would find them.


    The small clinic opened soon. Many people joined the fun on the first day. Here, everyone is still curious about outsiders and wants to have a look.


    Xilin Yue didn''t ask Qiao Xuan to help. He said that the outpatient service was the same as the hospital. There were many bacteria and it was bad for the fetus.


    At that time, they had been here for more than half a month. Qiao Xuan had an early pregnancy reaction, which was very serious. She would vomit when drinking.


    And she found that she was dizzy from time to time. Several times, it seemed that her eyes could not see clearly.


    She knew in her heart that her situation was worse.


    At first, she didn''t tell Xilin Yue. Anyway, Xilin Yue usually buys vegetables when he comes back. She doesn''t have to go out. There is such a big place at home and she can walk around with her eyes closed.


    But that day, when they finished their meal and she stood up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, she touched her hand several times and didn''t touch the correct position. She didn''t feel a heavy heart.


    Xilin Yue also saw it, immediately held her and asked, "when did it start?"


    At this point, it must not be a day or two. She is still hiding it from him.


    "It''s been a month." Qiao Xuan said softly, and then asked, "it doesn''t matter if you can''t see it. Do you have a way to make me hold on until the child is born?"

 Chapter 313

    Xilin Yue didn''t know how to answer her. He could only say, "I''ll try my best."


    At that time, she had just been pregnant for more than three months and had six months to go before delivery.


    From that day on, Xilin Yue began to study traditional Chinese medicine in addition to going to the clinic. In Qiao Xuan''s case, western medicine only had surgery, but her physical condition was not allowed at all, and even if the surgery was successful, the probability of success was very low.


    He consulted many old Chinese doctors and discussed with them the prescription of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, and he could not hurt the child in her stomach.


    Because of pregnancy vomiting, Qiao Xuan can''t eat anything every day, but she still insists on eating some nutritious food for her children.


    But even so, the average pregnant woman has been pregnant in four months, and she has just seen her stomach in more than five months.


    And just walking around the house, I''m so tired that I can''t stop panting for a long time.


    Xilin Yue looked at her like this and finally understood why Sheng Liang forced her to have an abortion. Although abortion also hurt her body, it was very good compared with ten months of pregnancy.


    He watched Qiao Xuan drink the medicine, and then spit it out. He not only spit the medicine, but also spit out sour water. She retched, tears came out of her eyes, and her body trembled.


    Xilin Yue was distressed, but he couldn''t do anything except patting her on the back.


    After a long time, Qiao Xuan stopped retching, wiped her mouth and said to Xilin Yue, "I''m fine, but it''s a pity that you boiled the medicine."


    Chinese medicine is very bitter, but she knows that it is her hope to live, so she still swallows it in her mouth every day.


    This time of day is her worst time, but she still holds on. She has to stick to it not for herself but for her children.


    She was really glad that she had decided to leave at that time. If Sheng Liang saw her like this, he would love to die, and he would never allow her to be hurt like this.


    "You lie down and have a rest. I''ll give you a nutrition injection." Xilin Yue frowned and really couldn''t bear to look at her again.


    Over the past few months, because of severe pregnancy and vomiting, Qiao Xuan has to rely on nutrient solution every day.


    Qiao Xuan was lying on the bed with her head in a daze. Xilinyue looked at her. There were needle eyes everywhere on the back of her hand, and some places were swollen. He couldn''t get down.


    Just hesitating, someone came in outside. It was the next door neighbor who called twice in the outer room.


    "Wait a minute." Xilin Yue said. He quickly infused Qiao Xuan with liquid before he went out and asked, "aunt, what''s up?"


    "Dr. Lin, why haven''t you gone to the clinic? There''s a long queue outside," the old man said.


    "Oh, there''s something at home. I''ll be there in a minute." Xilin Yue said and began to pack his medicine box.


    The old man stood there, as if waiting for him. He looked into the inner room and asked, "is your daughter-in-law sick?"


    Xilin Yue was stunned, reacted, smiled and said, "don''t talk nonsense, aunt. It''s not my daughter-in-law, it''s..."


    Seeing that he couldn''t say it, the old man smiled and said, "I just didn''t get married and have children. Now the new society is not humiliating."


    Xilin Yue doesn''t know how to refute. He hopes Qiao Xuan is his daughter-in-law and doesn''t care who her child is. However, Qiao Xuan only has Sheng Liang in his heart. Even if he stays with her for a long time, he can''t replace Sheng Liang''s position.


    Seeing that he didn''t speak, the old man said to himself, "just now, it seems that someone is looking for you. He asked me if I have seen a man and a woman from mulberry city. The man is white and clean, and the woman is very beautiful. I didn''t tell them."


    Xilin Yue was shocked when he heard these words. Unexpectedly, Sheng Liang''s people found here so soon.


    The old man looked at his face and said, "your family is very rich. My grandson said, what''s the name of the car? It''s millions."


    Xilin Yue was even more surprised. Did Sheng Liang come in person?


    There was a sudden bang in the inner room. Xilin Yue was surprised and hurried in. She saw Qiao Xuan pulling out the needle and oozing blood from the back of her hand. She sat up from the bed and hit the water cup on the ground when she wanted to hold the table.


    "What are you doing?" Xilin Yue rushed to hold her and wanted her to lie down again.


    But Qiao Xuan held his hand tightly and said, "is Sheng Liang coming? Let''s go out and hide."


    Seeing that her eyes were red and her voice was praying, how could xilinyue not know what she was thinking.


    In fact, she just wanted to go out and have a look at Sheng Liang.


    "Qiao Xuan," Xilin Yue asked her ruthlessly, "if you see him, if you are found, will you go back with him?"


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers froze. She may not have considered this problem, but she just heard the old man say that Sheng Liang came to her. She thought she hadn''t seen him for months and didn''t know what he was like now, so she wanted to see him, even if she had a sneak look.


    But Xilin Yue was right. Even if he saw him, what could he do? He left ruthlessly and didn''t expect this result long ago. What''s going on now.


    Her fingers gradually loosened and her body softened. She whispered, "I know. I won''t go out."


    Xilin Yue looked at her lying down slowly, smiled and said to him, "go to the clinic quickly. Don''t let so many people wait."


    Her face was so pale and she smiled so reluctantly that Xilin Yue was so distressed that she was about to suffocate.


    Put the needle on her again and watched her slowly close her eyes. Xilin Yue went out and asked the old man where he saw the car just now. He looked for it along the tire print.


    Sheng Liang really hasn''t left yet. On the roadside outside the town, he leans against the body and looks down at his mobile phone.


    Xilin Yue hid in the corner, took a few photos with his mobile phone, watched several people go back and report to Sheng Liang, which may be that he didn''t find it, then Sheng Liang got on the car, looked here again before he left, and then drove away.


    After their car had gone for a long time, Xilin Yue came out of the corner and sighed.


    He doesn''t know whether he is right or wrong. If he chooses again, he won''t help Qiao Xuan escape. He doesn''t know.


    He went back and showed the photo to Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan took the photo and cried silently for a long time.


    In the twinkling of an eye, by the end of the year, Qiao Xuan''s stomach was already big, it was more difficult to walk, and her eyes couldn''t see it at all.


    Xilin Yue has closed the clinic and concentrated on taking care of Qiao Xuan at home. Occasionally, someone came to see him at home, and he no longer collected money.


    It snowed, crystal clear covered the whole town, and a thick layer fell on their yard.


    Unfortunately, Qiao Xuan can''t see it anymore.


    Xilin Yue is doing a little Trojan horse in the house. Qiao Xuan''s child is about to be born. Both boys and girls should like it.


    Qiao Xuan is used to not seeing things for such a long time. Now she can feel and do a lot of things. The children''s things are almost ready, but she always feels that there is something missing, so she just makes some small bags at home.


    Because she couldn''t see it, her finger was stabbed many times, and the blood beads hung on her finger belly, like a ruby.

 Chapter 314

    Qiao Xuan moved her body for a while, but suddenly felt a warm current gushing out under her. She was startled. She thought it was blood and didn''t dare to move again. She pressed her voice and shouted, "Xilin Yue."


    Xilin Yue heard the panic in her voice outside. He quickly put down his work and ran in. Seeing a piece of light yellow liquid under Qiao Xuan, he frowned: "the amniotic fluid is broken. Don''t be nervous. I''ll call the hospital now."


    Xilin Yue was afraid that her amniotic fluid would flow too fast. He padded a pillow under her body, and then took out his mobile phone to call the hospital that had done the prenatal examination before.


    However, due to the heavy snow, there was a section of the road blocked and the hospital car couldn''t pass. They said that they arranged two midwives to ride over and let him appease the pregnant woman first.


    But Qiao Xuan''s situation can''t wait at all. The pain has been very frequent. Qiao Xuan hurts very badly.


    "Wait for me, I''ll be back soon." Xilin Yue ran out quickly, knocked on the door of the old man next door and explained the situation to the old man.


    "Ouch, aren''t you a doctor? Why are you looking for me?" the old man was carried by Xilin Yue and said anxiously, "the amniotic fluid is broken. It''s dangerous. You dare to run out!"


    Xilin Yue doesn''t want to, but after all, men and women are different. Although human life is crucial, his relationship with Qiao Xuan is too special. He doesn''t want to be embarrassed face to face in the future.


    Xilin Yue carried the old man to the inner room and saw that Qiao Xuan''s chest fluctuated violently on the bed and his hair was soaked. He didn''t know what to do for a moment.


    "You can''t deliver the baby. You always have things, such as sterilized scissors, hot water, disposable mattress and children''s quilt." the old man commanded.


    Xilin Yue hurriedly prepared as she said. When he saw that the old man was going to take off Qiao Xuan''s clothes, he turned and went out.


    He was outside listening to Qiao Xuan moaning. He was very confused. He took his mobile phone and looked at Sheng Liang''s name on it. He wanted to dial out several times, but he still didn''t dare to decide.


    "Qiao Xuan, let me call Sheng Liang. He is the child''s father and he should be there." Xilin Yue asked outside.


    Qiao Xuan was in great pain. When she heard his words, she immediately said, "no, don''t call him, Xilin Yue. If you dare to call now, I will hate you!"


    Now is not the time. Only after her death can Sheng Liang know about it. She doesn''t want to leave him alive. She is afraid that she will see him sad, and she can''t change anything, so she will be more painful.


    Fortunately, it wasn''t long before the midwife from the hospital came. Qiao Xuan passed through the labor before. The child came down quickly. Soon, the baby''s cry came out.


    At that time, Xilin Yue couldn''t hold on and was ready to call Sheng Liang. It was the birth of the child that stopped him.


    He knew that it was Qiao Xuan who was afraid of him telling Sheng Liang, so she tried her best to give birth to the child.


    It''s a boy, chubby and cute.


    But Qiao Xuan just took a look and fell asleep.


    The old man who helped deliver the baby just heard their conversation and knew that they were not husband and wife and that the child was not Xilin Yue''s.


    After watching the child and Qiao Xuan fall asleep, the old man whispered to Xilin Yue, "although the child is not yours, I think you like her very much. There is a saying that love will grow over time. If you work hard, your daughter-in-law and children will be yours."


    Xilin Yue just smiled bitterly. He was afraid that Qiao Xuan would not like him no matter how hard he tried.


    Throughout the month, Xilin Yue took good care of Qiao Xuan, and the child grew very fast. Just after the full moon, he could see the eyebrows and eyes, which were carved in the same mold as Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan can''t see it. Xilin Yue told her. She carefully kisses the child''s small face and imagines his appearance. In a few years, he will be more like Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan said to Xilin Yue, "I really appreciate what you have done for our mother and son, but I really can''t promise you. I don''t know when I will die. After I die, please help me give my child to Sheng Liang. I can only repay your kindness in the next life."


    Xilin Yue suddenly kissed her, perhaps because the dead word Qiao Xuan just said made him suddenly realize that they really don''t have so much time.


    He likes her, which may not be as good as Sheng Liang''s feelings for her, but he can abandon everything for her. He is afraid that if one day she is really gone, he won''t even have the chance to say he likes her.


    Qiao Xuan was startled and hurriedly pushed him: "Xilin Yue, don''t do this!"


    Xilin Yue let go of her, but still looked at her face and said, "I don''t want to wait for the next life. Qiao Xuan, let''s get married. Even if it''s only one day or an hour, I also want to be husband and wife with you. Since you don''t intend to see Sheng Liang again when you''re alive, you can take it as if you''re dead. Just take it as the next life and marry me, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan shrunk back and said carefully, "I''m sorry, I can''t..."


    Xilinyue took a deep breath and said with a sneer: "I know what you love is Sheng Liang. You don''t want him to see your pain and experience the sadness of life and death. What about me? I like you so much and watch you suffer. Won''t I feel sad? Isn''t it suffering for me to watch you die? Don''t you think it''s unfair to me?"


    Qiao Xuan hugged her body and tried to reduce her sense of existence. Her voice became smaller and smaller: "I know. I''m sorry for you, Xilin Yue. I''m sorry."


    Xilin Yue looked at her fear, and his heart was sour. This was not his original intention, nor did he blame her. It was he who insisted on taking care of her. Now it''s too hypocritical to say this.


    He raised his hand, slapped himself and said, "I''m confused. Just think I didn''t say anything just now. I promise I won''t say it again in the future."


    He said, trying to help Qiao Xuan tuck in the quilt, but Qiao Xuan instinctively shrank.


    This reaction made Xilin Yue hate himself more. What nonsense did he say just now? Did she beg him to take care of her?


    "You sleep, I went to the clinic." Xilin Yue no longer forced her. He understood that this time, I''m afraid it will take a long time for Qiao Xuan to accept him.


    Because he always fished for three days and dried his net for two days, fewer and fewer people came to the clinic. He sat there in a daze all afternoon. When it was time to cook, he closed the door, bought vegetables in the nearby supermarket and bought a chicken to go home and stew chicken soup for Qiao Xuan.


    He opened the door and went in. He saw that the table in the outer room was neat. He remembered that when he went out, the bowls for dinner were not brushed.


    And after standing there for a while, he found something wrong. Why didn''t he hear the child''s cry?


    He immediately ran over and pushed open the door of the inner room, but he saw that the quilt on the bed was folded neatly, but Qiao Xuan and the child were gone.


    Xilin Yue suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his head. He reacted and ran out immediately.


    Qiao Xuan left unexpectedly. It must be because those words he said hurt her. She can''t see now and still holds the child who has just reached the full moon. What if there is danger.


    He''s such a jerk. After spending so long together, he clearly knows that Qiao Xuan wants to be strong. She doesn''t want to trouble others. He said that it''s strange that she doesn''t go!


    Xilin Yue went out from the door, looking for people street by street. When he saw people, he asked. He thought that Qiao Xuan couldn''t see the road. He must have asked others. Many people must have seen her.


    But he quickly searched the whole town and asked a lot of people. No one said he had seen her.


    "Qiao Xuan, I''m wrong. Where are you? Come back quickly." Xilin Yue said silently as he walked.


    He felt that his slap was really too light at that time. If it was heavier, Qiao Xuan knew that he was really repentant and might not go.


    It was getting dark, and Xilin Yue became more and more desperate. He didn''t know what Qiao Xuan had met and why she still didn''t have any news until now.


    He took out his cell phone, looked at Sheng Liang''s name, and finally dialed it. Nothing is more important than Qiao Xuan''s safety. Even if Sheng Liang wanted to kill him, he didn''t complain.


    Because he changed his mobile phone number before, he just saved Sheng Liang''s number in case, but he didn''t expect it to be really useful now.


    But probably because it was a strange number, Sheng Liang didn''t answer for a long time. Just when Xilin Yue was about to lose his mind, the phone suddenly hurt. Sheng Liang''s low voice came from that end: "hello."


    "Sheng Liang, I''m Xilin Yue." when Xilin Yue said these words, he felt his heart was almost hollowed out.

 Chapter 315

    Hearing Xilin Yue''s name, Sheng Liang immediately sat up from the bed: "where are you and where is Qiao Xuan?"


    Listening to the tension and forbearance in his voice, Xilin Yue said humbly, "I''m sorry I lost Qiao Xuan."


    Lost


    When Sheng Liang heard these three words, he just felt like falling into an abyss. He got out of bed, took his coat and went out: "say where you are now, I''ll go to find you."


    Sheng Liang is too clear. Now is not the time to investigate responsibility. He must find Qiao Xuan first.


    Xilin Yue said where he was. Sheng Liang was stunned. He had been to that place. Qiao Xuan really hid from him.


    After hanging up, he went downstairs. His head was still dizzy and his steps were a little vain.


    "Ah Liang, where are you going? You''re not well yet." Rococo came out of the kitchen and saw that he came down from upstairs. He was still a little unstable. He hurried to help him.


    Sheng Liang put on his suit and coat and said, "gorgeous has news. I''ll go and have a look."


    "Really?" Rococo helped him get dressed. "Shall I go with you?"


    "No," Sheng Liang didn''t want Qiao Xuan to have any misunderstanding. "I''ll tell you when I find her."


    Rococo understood his idea and didn''t insist. He just said, "let Xu Yi go with you. You''d better not drive by yourself now."


    Sheng Liang nodded and went out. Xu Yi was outside. He asked Xu Yi to drive.


    Along the way, Sheng Liang''s mood was burning with anxiety. Although he didn''t ask about the specific situation, Xilin Yue didn''t contact him this year. It must not be a small thing to call him suddenly today.


    Xu Yi knows Sheng Liang''s mood best. This year, he watched how Sheng Liang came. As long as he had some news, Sheng Liang would go to find it in person, but he was disappointed every time.


    Now he finally has Qiao Xuan''s whereabouts. He must be eager to see her right away.


    Xu Yi understands, so the car drives very fast.


    When they got there, it was already nine o''clock in the evening. Xilin Yue sat on the stone by the side of the road, and his lost look was not as elegant as before.


    Hearing that a car stopped, Xilin Yue raised his head and saw Sheng Liang get down from the car. He immediately stood up. He just felt guilty and didn''t know what to say. He just lowered his head and whispered, "I''m sorry."


    Sheng Liang''s eyes were slightly cold, but he didn''t come to listen to Xilin Yue say he was sorry. He said in a deep voice, "tell me everything."


    "Today, I said something I shouldn''t have said," Xilin Yue frowned and regretted, "so she left with her child."


    "Child?" Sheng Liang was surprised and his fingers closed tightly unconsciously.


    Xilin Yue nodded: "yes, it''s you and her child. She was afraid that you would force her to kill her child again, so she performed a magic trick to bury herself in the sea of fire in front of you. In fact, she already knew her own situation."


    Sheng Liang only feels that there are bursts of blackening in front of him. He guesses that Qiao Xuan knows her condition, but he didn''t expect that Qiao Xuan actually had a child.


    This year, she suffered a lot, but he was not by her side.


    Sheng Liang really hates himself!


    "Then she now..." Sheng Liang felt that he was going to be speechless, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, "what''s the matter with his body?"


    "Her eyes can''t see, so I..." Xilin Yue also couldn''t say any more. He stopped for a while and asked, "how can we find it now?"


    He has a lot of confession to tell Qiao Xuan, but the premise is to find her first.


    Sheng Liang took out his mobile phone, searched the local map, pointed to some places and said to Xu Yi: "Check these hotels first. They are all under the banner of Shengshi. Xuaner can''t see her eyes now and takes her children. She won''t go to places with potential safety hazards. Moreover, it''s not early for her to leave. She shouldn''t leave here to go somewhere else. I''ll call the station. Go first."


    Xu Yi answered and went at once.


    Xilin Yue listened to Sheng Liang''s words and smiled bitterly: "you really know her."


    If it were another man, he would have been in a daze for a long time, but Sheng Liang can still keep calm, because he knows Qiao Xuan better than anyone. Qiao Xuan is really a rational woman. She won''t easily expose herself to a dangerous environment.


    "Take me to where you live." Sheng Liang said. He wanted to know how Qiao Xuan lived this year.


    Xilin Yue took Sheng Liang to their previous home. Seeing Sheng Liang frowning, he said sorry, "it''s a little humble here."


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak. He walked slowly inside. When he saw the room inside, he knew it was Qiao Xuan''s bedroom.


    "You go out first." Sheng Liang sat on the bed and looked at the crystal photo frame on the bedside table. Qiao Xuan took it with her child.


    Xilin Yue didn''t speak, just sighed.


    Sheng Liang picked up the photo frame and looked at Qiao Xuan''s side face inside. She bowed her head and kissed the child''s small face, which was full of tenderness.


    He once deprived her of the right to be a mother twice, but in the end, she did it.


    Sheng Liang looked at her, his eyes stayed on her face for a long time, and he was pained by the pain she suffered this year.


    But even if he did it again, he would still make the same choice. All he could do was to see her more closely and not let her escape from him.


    The mobile phone suddenly rang. Sheng Liang saw that it was Xu Yi and immediately answered: "did you find it?"


    "I found it. In the Xilan Hotel," Xu Yi''s voice was also excited. "I''m at the door of Miss Qiao''s room now, but I''m afraid she''ll be excited and do anything drastic, so..."


    Sheng Liang stood up and walked out: "you just stay there, I''ll be there soon."


    Xilin Yue heard what he said outside. Seeing him come out, he immediately said, "I''ll go with you."


    Sheng Liang looked at him and didn''t say anything. He went straight out, and Xilin Yue was busy following him.


    At the hotel, take the elevator directly to the floor Xu Yi said. When you see Xu Yi standing in the corridor, staring at the door of a room, Sheng Liang walks over.


    "Chairman," cried Xu Yi, "Miss Qiao is inside. I heard a child crying just now?"


    Xu Yi didn''t know about the child, and Sheng Liang didn''t explain. He just asked him to find a waiter.


    The waiter knocked on the door. Qiao Xuan appeared at the door. Sheng Liang looked at her thin appearance and felt bitter.


    Xu Yi timely asked the waiter to leave. Xilin Yue watched behind and walked away silently.


    At the door of the room, only Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan were left, face to face, but they were quiet.


    Qiao Xuan noticed something wrong and hurriedly wanted to close the door. Sheng Liang had already taken a step forward and hugged her: "gorgeous son."

 Chapter 316

    When she suddenly calmed down just now, Qiao Xuan noticed something wrong, but at that time she just thought that Xilin Yue was standing in front of her. Until she was suddenly hugged, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart. This familiar breath is not Sheng Liang. Who else is there.


    Especially when others called her name, she didn''t have to doubt that it was a dream.


    For a year, the man she has been thinking about, the man who once appeared in her dream countless times, is now by her side, but she doesn''t dare to tell him her miss.


    She stepped back two steps in a panic. She was at a loss. Almost, she just hugged him directly instead of pushing him away: "child, you can take it away. I won''t go back with you."


    "Gorgeous son..." Sheng Liang didn''t expect that now, she still wouldn''t go back with him. "I know your situation. I can bear any consequences. Just let me accompany you, okay?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "you don''t understand. I don''t want you to see me in a mess. Just leave me some dignity at last, okay? Please, go."


    Qiao Xuan clenched her fingers tightly. Every word she said, the pain in her heart was deeper. Even if she couldn''t see Sheng Liang''s expression, she could still imagine his cautious appearance. She lived in fear every day and was afraid that she would lose her life at any time. Such a day was too painful for him. She didn''t want him to bear such pain.


    Unable to hear Sheng Liang''s voice, she thought he had given up and groped to open the door and let him out.


    But as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was pulled by Sheng Liang. Before she could react, her body had been butted against the wall by him: "Sheng Liang..."


    "I don''t want to see you embarrassed, but you can be seen by Xilin Yue, right?" Sheng Liang''s voice is low, with a trace of hot and dull, "you''re pregnant and have a baby. At such an important moment, the people around you are not me. Do you know how jealous I am of Xilin Yue, how jealous I am of him, how much I hate him, and I want to kill him!"


    He gnashed his teeth. Qiao Xuan heard it clearly and even felt frightened. She had never seen such a cool place before.


    In her impression, Sheng Liang is always calm and calm. No matter what happens, she won''t show her emotions, but just now, she clearly felt his anger and even hatred.


    He cared so much about what she didn''t want him to experience.


    But she couldn''t say sorry. When she said it, she was equal to admitting that she was wrong. She didn''t dare to mention Xilin Yue again. She was afraid that Sheng Liang would really blame everything on Xilin Yue, so for a moment, she didn''t know what to say.


    Her silence seemed to Sheng Liang to acquiesce in his accusation, but Qiao Xuan didn''t know that he didn''t hate, but was wronged.


    Seeing that she didn''t speak, Sheng Liang''s uneasiness became stronger. He suddenly kissed her. His action was fierce and rough. It was not like him at all.


    Qiao Xuan pushed several times and didn''t push away, and she found that Sheng Liang''s temperature was abnormal. Even across his clothes, she felt his skin burning.


    When she was stunned, Sheng Liang let her go and whispered, "gorgeous, come back with me."


    Listening to the prayer in his voice, Qiao Xuan''s heart hurt more and more. She held his hand and held back her tears and asked, "are you having a fever? Why is your body so hot?"


    Sheng Liang is not a person who will show weakness, but he knows what Qiao Xuan''s weakness is. His head is resting on her shoulder, and his voice is a little weak: "well, it''s been several days. Someone said he saw you a few days ago. I drove over, the snow slipped on the road, and there was a car accident. The wound may be inflamed."


    Qiao Xuan listened to his understatement, but her heart had already become a mess. She quickly asked, "where''s the injury? Is it serious? How can it be inflamed? Didn''t you see a doctor?"


    Sheng Liang looked at her eager and distressed appearance. He felt a lot more secure in his heart, but he still deliberately said, "I''m discouraged if I didn''t find you. What else can I see a doctor?"


    Qiao Xuan only cares about guilt and heartache. She doesn''t notice his mind at all. She just carefully pulls him and asks, "where is the injury? Is it still painful now?"


    "It hurts." Sheng Liang grabbed her hand and put it in his heart. "Leave me in that way and live with other men. Do you think I can be free from pain? Every day, someone provides me with your news. Every time I go with hope and then come back disappointed. Do you know how much pain I have here?"


    Qiao Xuan bit her lips tightly, but her tears still flowed unconsciously. She hugged Sheng Liang and said repeatedly, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry..."


    She thought that after a long time, Sheng Liang would naturally forget her. She underestimated Sheng Liang''s deep feelings. She was wrong. If Sheng Liang forgot her so easily, she would not be a person worthy of all her love.


    "Promise me, don''t leave me again, don''t let me live in regret for the rest of my life." even if it is the worst result, he is willing to bear it with her, otherwise he will hate himself in the future.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t object any more. Maybe she really did wrong. Although her original intention was not to let Sheng Liang bear the pain of her serious illness with her, even if she wasn''t with him, he didn''t have a happy life at all. On the contrary, she even suffered more.


    Seeing that she didn''t refuse, Sheng Liang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the bed and said softly, "I haven''t seen our child yet. Is it a son or a daughter?"


    "Son." Qiao Xuan also turned her head. Although her eyes couldn''t see it, when she turned around, the expression on her face immediately became soft. "He slept for a while and probably woke up."


    Sheng Liang held her in the past. The two sat by the bed. Sheng Liang looked down at the pink little man. His heart was about to melt. He wanted to kiss him. Because he was sick and didn''t dare to get too close, he could only gently touch the little hand: "my son follows my mother. He looks like you. Have you taken his name?"


    "No," Qiao Xuan always felt that Sheng Liang should decide on the name. "Only the nickname is called Nian."


    Sheng Liang looked at her: "is it because he was born at the end of the year?"


    Qiao Xuan nodded.


    Sheng liang thought for a moment and said, "call Sheng Sheng. I hope he can live in peace all his life."


    Qiao Xuan''s heart throbbed. The name contains Sheng Liang''s expectations and blessings. She knows that Sheng Liang, like her, doesn''t ask for anything else. She just hopes that the child can grow up healthily and happily.


    As they were talking, the child woke up and cried loudly. Qiao Xuan said, "he should be hungry."


    Seeing her groping for the bottle, Sheng Liang pressed her hand and said, "I''ll come."

 Chapter 317

    Qiao Xuan was worried that Sheng Liang couldn''t do these things. He was a big man and didn''t bring a child, but when Sheng Liang handed her the bottle, she could feel that the temperature was just right. He must have checked the Internet with his mobile phone just now.


    Qiao Xuan took the little man in her arms and carefully put the bottle into his mouth. Listening to him drinking, she smiled and said, "look how happy he drinks. He must know that this is the milk powder made by his father."


    Sheng Liang hugged Qiao Xuan from behind and stared at the villain. There was no way to describe the emotion in his heart. Since he knew Qiao Xuan''s condition, he never expected such a moment again. He understood that it was Qiao Xuan''s persistence, or even her life.


    "Thank you," said Sheng Liang, holding Qiao Xuan''s hand tighter. "Thank you for letting me realize this happiness. I never thought I would have such a day before."


    Qiao Xuan understands his feelings. He grew up in such an environment and has to be careful to protect himself all the time. He doesn''t believe in anyone. He has no friends and has to solve everything by himself.


    His indifference and forbearance are his shell to protect himself. Even now, Qiao Xuan still can''t imagine the suffering he suffered.


    Fortunately, he has come and just heard that he was angry. In fact, she is very pleased that he is a man of flesh and blood.


    Qiao Xuan finished feeding the child and held Sheng Liang''s hand. She still felt very hot. She blamed herself. She was just turned off by him somehow: "Xu Yi should be outside and let him take you to the hospital. You can''t do this."


    "Don''t go," Sheng Liang directly rejected, and then looked down at her, "what if you run again."


    Listen to his words, Qiao Xuan is a tight heart. He really has a psychological shadow.


    "I''ve never broken my promise, have I?" Qiao Xuan said to him in the same tone as coaxing children for the first time. "This hotel is prosperous. I hold the child and can''t see it. Where else can I go? Go to the hospital quickly. When you get well, we''ll go back to mulberry city together."


    Days of high fever, coupled with the continuous tension of today''s mood, has consumed Sheng Liang''s too much physical strength. In fact, he can''t hold it for a long time.


    He originally wanted to take advantage of this excuse to let her go back to Sang city with him now. He could feel at ease only within his sight.


    But she was in poor health, and had just finished her month, and the child was still so young that he couldn''t bear to let them toss back and forth in the middle of the night.


    Sheng Liang compromised. After settling down Qiao Xuan, he asked Xu Yi to take him to the hospital. However, he had already passed out on the way.


    Qiao Xuan has never dared to sleep. She is waiting for Xu Yi to call her and tell her about Sheng Liang.


    If it weren''t for the fact that the child was too young, she couldn''t put him alone in the hotel and take him to the hospital. In fact, she wanted to accompany Sheng Liang and take care of him.


    There was a knock outside the door. Qiao Xuan subconsciously thought it was Xu Yi. She immediately got out of bed and walked to the door eagerly but carefully.


    "Is it Xu Yi?" she asked.


    But no one outside answered her.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t go any further. She stood there and listened carefully. Since her eyes couldn''t see it, her hearing was particularly sharp.


    But there was really no sound outside, as if the knock on the door was her illusion.


    Maybe she heard it wrong. Maybe it was the knock on the door next door. She was too anxious to know about Sheng Liang, so she heard it wrong.


    Qiao Xuan slowly walked back to the bed and lay down gently. Her head was close to the child''s head. Listening to his slight breathing, her heart gradually calmed down.


    Until nearly twelve o''clock, Xu Yi finally called and said in a low voice, "Miss Qiao, go to sleep. The chairman is fine. The fever has subsided."


    Qiao Xuan''s hanging heart finally fell down and said in a low voice, "that''s good. It''s hard for you."


    Qiao Xuan thought of something and asked, "where''s Xilin Yue? Has he gone back?"


    Xu Yi understood what she meant. She was afraid that Sheng Liang would embarrass Xilin Yue. She replied, "Mr. Xilin has returned to mulberry city. The chairman said that anyway, he has taken care of you for so long. She won''t care about the past with him."


    Qiao Xuan heaved a sigh. He knew that Sheng Liang did this because he cared about her feelings.


    After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xuan fell asleep at ease. She woke up twice at night to feed the child, but she didn''t hear anything again.


    But Xu Yi received a call. The security manager of the hotel told him that they found a baseball on the ground at the door of Qiao Xuan''s room, but there was no suspicious figure in the surveillance.


    Obviously, someone is trying to knock on the door with a baseball. See if Qiao Xuan will respond and know if she is inside.


    But who could it be? Xilin Yue has returned to mulberry City, and he should not be that kind of person, but it doesn''t look like a pure prank.


    At dawn, Xu Yi asked the hotel to confirm that Qiao Xuan was still there. He was relieved. As soon as he turned around, he saw Sheng Liang coming out of the ward and hurriedly said, "Chairman, how did you come out?"


    "Is everything all right over the hotel?" Sheng Liang''s face was still morbid pale. He was only glad that Qiao Xuan couldn''t see it at this time.


    Xu Yi didn''t open his eyes. He hesitated before saying, "there was something unusual last night, but miss Qiao is fine."


    "What''s unusual?" Sheng Liang frowned. If Xu Yi hadn''t said Qiao Xuan was okay, he would have run out directly.


    "The security guard of the hotel found a baseball at the door of Miss Qiao''s room, but they didn''t see who threw it in the surveillance." Xu Yi looked at Sheng Liang and said carefully, "I was wondering if it could be..."


    He didn''t dare say that name, but he must have thought of it.


    Xilin fu


    Although I don''t think it''s possible, Xilin Fu should never get out of prison in his life because of the combined punishment for several crimes.


    However, since he is Xilin Fu, nothing is impossible.


    "You check the prison and see what''s going on." Sheng Liang said, and the man had reached the elevator entrance.


    If it''s really Xilin Fu, it''s really a big trouble.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up, she habitually went to hold the child, but found that it was empty next to her. She was startled and immediately sat up: "years old!"


    Sheng Liang came in with the child. Seeing that she was anxious to get out of bed, he hurriedly said, "the child is with me. He woke up. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I took him outside."


    Hearing Sheng Liang''s voice, Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon asked in surprise, "shouldn''t you be in the hospital? Why did you come back so early?"

 Chapter 318

    "I''m all right. I just want to come and watch you earlier." Sheng Liang gently put the sleeping child on the bed.


    Although Qiao Xuan couldn''t see it, she could also guess his movements with her voice. When he straightened up, she took him and stretched out her hand to his forehead: "the temperature has dropped, but you still need to rest."


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hand and took her in his arms: "let''s go back to mulberry city. I can have a good rest."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t know about Xilin Fu. She just thought he was worried that she would leave him again. She leaned against him and said, "of course I''ll go back with you. I''m just afraid your body won''t hold up."


    "It doesn''t matter to me, but you and the child will work harder." Sheng Liang held her tighter, his voice full of guilt.


    But we really can''t let them stay here anymore. Xilin Fu is like a bomb that will explode at any time. I don''t know when and what to do.


    His cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Yi, he directly pressed to hang up, then released Qiao Xuan and said, "what do you want for breakfast, I''ll let them bring it up."


    "Everything is good." knowing that he is something, she never interferes in his affairs.


    Sheng Liang closes the door and goes out. He calls back to Xu Yi: "what did you find?"


    "They said that Xilin escaped from prison five days ago. I think he may have been following you these days, so he probably came here with us." but they didn''t find it.


    Sheng Liang naturally thought that if Xilin Fu was just for fun before, he must have come prepared to break the boat this time when he escaped from prison.


    So now he makes people feel terrible.


    "What are we going to do now?" Xu Yi asked.


    Sheng Liang Lian''s eyes seemed to be thinking of something: "go back to mulberry city first, let''s go separately."


    When he said the latter sentence, his tone increased as if he meant something.


    Xu Yi immediately understood. Moreover, he saw a touch of coldness in Sheng Liang''s voice. He knew what it was.


    Xilin reappeared here and had nothing. He must have come with hatred this time. He won''t stop until he reaches his goal.


    Xu Yi knows something about the grudges between Sheng Liang and Xilin Fu. Coupled with Qiao Xuan''s relationship, he is afraid that they will never die.


    Sheng Liang watched Qiao Xuan finish breakfast, helped her pack up, held the child in one hand and took her out of the hotel in the other.


    Qiao Xuan heard the driver''s voice and asked Sheng Liang softly, "where''s Xu Yi? Won''t he go with us?"


    "The company has something to do, he has left first." Sheng Liang looked at the rearview mirror outside the car and didn''t see anyone.


    Xu Yi didn''t go first, but behind them. He had to find out Xilin''s current position before he could know what to do next.


    Qiao Xuan knows nothing about these things. Sheng Liang hopes she doesn''t need to know. It''s best that he has solved everything before then.


    The child was very good. He slept all the way without crying. Sheng Liang asked Qiao Xuan to sleep on his shoulder for a while. Qiao Xuan was still holding on and wanted to talk to him, but he was too tired to sleep after a few words.


    Maybe she''s used to it, but Sheng Liang hasn''t seen her for so long, so she naturally finds that her physique is really poor.


    The operation can no longer be delayed, and now she has given birth to the child as she wishes, and there is no reason to object again.


    Sheng Liang took her and made her sleep more comfortable. He was also thinking about going back to discuss the operation with Xilin Yue.


    Sheng Liang originally wanted to take her directly to the house where they lived before, but as soon as he entered the border of mulberry City, Qiao Nan called. They already knew that they had found Qiao Xuan. Waiting for them to go, he had to ask the driver to take them to Qiao''s house first.


    This year, Qiao Xuan must have missed her family too. He was still hiding it from the Qiao family at the beginning, but how could he hide it? Qiao Nan also postponed the wedding.


    But they are more rational than he thought. Maybe they all know Qiao Xuan too well, so they all understand her actions. Although they are as worried as he, they don''t exert any pressure on him.


    This made him feel particularly guilty. If he had confessed to Qiao Xuan from the beginning of knowing her situation, borne it with her and respected her decision, maybe there would be no difference in this year.


    Qiao Xuan is right. He is always used to making his own decisions and has never considered her feelings at all.


    Sheng Liang looked down at Qiao Xuan''s sleeping face and gently stroked her face with his fingers. He felt unspeakable pain in his heart.


    The car stopped at the gate of Qiao''s community. Sheng Liang whispered to Qiao Xuan, "gorgeous, here we are."


    Qiao Xuan opened her eyes, but there was still darkness in front of her. Just now in her dream, she also dreamed of running with Sheng Liang in the flower field. When she woke up, she found that it was just a dream.


    She hoped that she was still dreaming and could go back to the past when she opened her eyes, but every time she was only disappointed.


    She sat up, dizzy, and whispered, "where have we been?"


    "Your home." Sheng Liang looked up and saw Qiao Nan running out. He brought the basket for the children, got out of the car from his side, and then went over to open the door on Qiao Xuan''s side and helped her down.


    Qiao Nan was stunned when he saw them. He hadn''t found that Qiao Xuan couldn''t see them. He just looked at the baby basket in Sheng Liang''s hand. Some couldn''t believe it: "this is... Your child?"


    "HMM." Sheng Liang turns to look at Qiao Xuan, "xuan''er, Xiao Nan is coming to pick us up."


    When Qiao Nan heard Sheng Liang''s words, she took a closer look at Qiao Xuan and sank in her heart: "sister, you..."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to make them too sad. She reluctantly smiled and said, "I can''t see it, so I want you to take care of me in the future."


    Qiao Nan''s eyebrows twisted hard. Although he knew that Qiao Xuan''s situation would not be good, he really saw it and couldn''t accept it in his heart, but he quickly regained his mind, helped her and said, "don''t worry, I won''t do worse than my brother-in-law."


    Qiao Xuan nodded slightly. She couldn''t see any emotion on her face, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.


    In the past, she was always used to taking care of others and arranging their lives, but now she can only accept the care of others, which is really worse for her than death.


    But she can''t show it. She knows that they are all willing to take care of her. They are the people who love her most in the world. She doesn''t want to make them sad.


    From the entrance of the community, Qiao Nan was always careful, but they walked for a long time.


    This used to be the most familiar place for Qiao Xuan. She also thought she was used to groping and could walk normally, but that was only what she could do at home in that small town. Here, she was blind and couldn''t do anything.

 Chapter 319

    Qiao Nan enters the door and greets his parents in advance. He is afraid that his parents are not mentally prepared and behave too sad in front of Qiao Xuan, which makes Qiao Xuan unable to bear.


    So when Joe as like as two peas came in, Joe''s parents saw Joe''s eyes without any focus and empty eyes. Although he was sad, he didn''t mention it. He was only a little excited when he was holding the baby. "It''s just the same as when he was young."


    Qiao Xuan knows everything in her heart even if her eyes can''t see it. She knows that they are carefully maintaining her self-esteem.


    "By the way, sister, my little nephew hasn''t had a full moon yet. I''ll arrange when to do it." Qiao Nan tried to liven up the atmosphere.


    In the previous environment, Qiao Xuan really didn''t think about it. Now that she''s back, she must do it.


    Sheng Liang saw her turn her head and knew that she wanted to ask him for advice. He said in a low voice, "you decide the day, and you don''t care about the rest."


    "Let parents decide," said Qiao Xuan.


    Joe''s father looked at them and simply said, "if you don''t think you''re in a hurry, tomorrow is a lucky day."


    Sheng Liang had no opinion, nodded and said, "OK, I''ll let them prepare as soon as possible."


    In fact, it''s a little too hasty, but they all know that Qiao Xuan''s body can''t wait any longer. It''s time to arrange for her to have an operation when she finishes the full moon for her child.


    Joe''s mother helped them watch the children. They were really relaxed. After dinner, Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan''s face and asked her to go back to her room to have a rest.


    After a meal, Qiao Xuan almost didn''t eat anything. After returning her to her room, she went to the kitchen to cook food for her.


    Joe''s mother saw it and went over and said, "did you make it for Hua''er? I''ll come."


    "No, I''ll just come." Sheng Liang politely refused.


    Joe''s mother looked at him and sighed: "it was our gorgeous son who dragged you down. If she had known so, she should have opposed them to the end and not let them together.


    Knowing what she wanted to say, Sheng Liang said faintly, "even if I choose again, I won''t regret it."


    That''s what he said, but looking at them now, Qiao''s mother is really distressed. Although Sheng Liang is not her son, what he did for Qiao Xuan really moved her.


    "You should also pay attention to your health. You had a car accident and your injury hasn''t healed yet. Don''t let yourself be too tired. Tell us if there''s anything wrong. Xiao Nan has grown up and he can help." Qiao''s mother is worried that Sheng Liang can''t hold on until Qiao gorgeous falls ill.


    "I know, thank you, mom." Sheng Liang turned and looked at her. Seeing the incomprehension in her eyes, he explained, "I''ve always owed gorgeous a wedding. When the year-old full moon wine is over, I want to marry her."


    Qiao''s mother frowned. At this time, Qiao Xuan may get sick at any time. Even if she has an operation, she may not be able to get off the operating table at all. Sheng Liang wants to marry Qiao Xuan at this time, which is too cruel for him.


    "Sheng Liang..." as Qiao Xuan''s mother, she was pleased that her daughter could meet such an affectionate man, but standing in Sheng Liang''s position, she couldn''t say anything and promised him.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "this is my thoughtful decision. I hope you can accomplish it, but even if you object, I will still do so."


    In Joe''s mother''s impression, Sheng Liang has always been like this. His voice is light, but it is loud. He doesn''t need hysteria. Only that tone makes people unable to refute.


    "OK." Joe''s mother nodded, "just do what you want to do. If Hua''er is gone in the future, our Qiao family will still regard you as their family."


    Sheng Liang gave a clear and shallow hum, and then took a bowl of porridge to Qiao Xuan''s room.


    Qiao Xuan lay on her side on the bed with her eyebrows locked. I don''t know if it''s because she had been tense before. Now when she relaxed, she felt very tired and her head hurt badly.


    "Hua''er, get up and have something to eat." Sheng Liang gently picked her up and said.


    Qiao Xuan was dizzy. She just sat up and shook her head slightly, "I''m not hungry. I don''t want to eat."


    Sheng Liang leaned the pillow behind her and made her sit more comfortable: "you''re not hungry, but I''m hungry. Just eat with me."


    Thinking that he had not completely recovered from his illness, she should have no appetite. She couldn''t see how much he ate just now, so she didn''t object any more.


    That is, as soon as she nodded, she felt Sheng Liang kiss her, and the fragrant glutinous porridge was sent to her mouth from the tip of his tongue.


    Qiao Xuan knew that this was what he said to eat with him.


    But because her attention was on his kiss, he sent it one mouthful at a time, and she didn''t notice it.


    Soon, the bowl of porridge was cooled and fed. He touched her hair and said, "go to sleep."


    Feeling that he was going to get up and leave, Qiao Xuan took his arm and asked, "do you want to prepare the child''s full moon wine? What can I do?"


    "You don''t have to do anything. Sleep well." Sheng Liang said with infinite indulgence.


    Qiao Xuan''s hand was put down by him and hung by the bed. She lowered her head and said softly, "do you even treat me as a loser? Sheng Liang, I don''t like this feeling and don''t want to be taken care of by you. I can do many things by myself."


    "I know, but you just came back and are not very familiar with the environment. After two days, you will have a lot to do." Sheng Liang understood her mood and comforted her.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything, but after Sheng Liang went out, her eyebrows didn''t stretch out.


    She knew he was perfunctory.


    Sheng Liang and Qiao Nan are busy with their children''s full moon, booking hotels, writing invitations and making phone calls.


    The Qiao family''s parents teased the little people in their arms. Although the new full moon child didn''t know what they were talking about, and they couldn''t even see what was far away, they were still very happy.


    Qiao Xuan woke up after sleeping for a while. She slowly got out of bed and groped to the door. There was no obstacle in the middle. Sheng Liang was probably afraid that she would trip, so she moved away.


    She held the wall and walked to the bathroom bit by bit. Although she came home for the first time after she was blind, fortunately, she was very familiar with the layout here, at least she remembered the location.


    Turning the corner is the bathroom, but when Qiao Xuan''s steps moved past, she suddenly kicked something hard. Even if she was wearing slippers, her toes hurt. She frowned and squatted down immediately.


    Sheng Liang heard the voice and came over. He saw Qiao Xuan squatting there. He was flustered and hurried to hold her: "gorgeous son, where did you hit?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "no, I''m fine."


    She let go of Sheng Liang''s hand and wanted to stand up by herself.


    "Are you going to the bathroom? I''ll hold you." Sheng Liang reached out to pick her up.


    "I don''t need it!" Qiao Xuan suddenly pushed Sheng Liang away. "I can go myself!"

 Chapter 320

    Qiao Xuan was so excited that she used a lot of strength that Sheng Liang was unprepared. Moreover, he was going to hold her, so he bent over. Qiao Xuan pushed him away and hit the wall.


    Qiao Xuan also noticed after pushing. She hurriedly reached out and touched him. Her eyes immediately turned red: "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to."


    She knew he was hurt and pushed him with so much strength, but she just couldn''t control herself.


    She felt that she was useless at all. They had to take care of her mood carefully, especially Sheng Liang. Because of her body, he must have been confused for a long time. She just wanted to reduce his pressure, but it backfired and added more trouble to him.


    Sheng Liang knows her anxiety and anxiety. Even if she is rational and calm, who can really be indifferent to life and death.


    And Qiao Xuan is a strong temperament. She knew from the way she left him a year ago. She doesn''t want to bring a burden to anyone. She always wants to bear the consequences by herself.


    Sheng Liang took her, held her in his arms and said: "I can''t say sweet words or explain. I thought you would understand what I mean. We''ve been together for so long. No matter whether we have a marriage certificate or not, I treat you as my wife. Between husband and wife, no one bothers anyone. I should take care of you. On the contrary, if I become like this, you will take care of me without hesitation."


    If he is like this, of course she will take care of him. Qiao Xuan doesn''t understand this truth, but if it is true, Sheng Liang will be like her and doesn''t want to drag her down.


    But she was also glad that she should be happy when she met this kind of thing.


    Joe''s mother came over with the children in her arms. Seeing their appearance, she asked, "what''s the matter? What''s the matter?"


    "It''s all right. I''ll take her to the bathroom." without asking Qiao Xuan''s advice, Sheng Liang has picked her up.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t speak. She didn''t even raise her head for fear that Qiao''s mother would see her abnormality.


    But how could Qiao''s mother not see it? Qiao Xuan''s eyes are so red. It''s obvious that she cried just now. As for what happened, she can guess without thinking.


    But now, they should be fine.


    Sheng Sheng''s full moon banquet was arranged in the hotel under Shengshi. All the guests were relatives and friends of the two families, as well as friends from the business community. Of course, because of the relationship between Fei lengcui, there were naturally some stars in the entertainment industry. However, Sheng Liang specifically explained that no media were allowed to participate, and Xu Yi was responsible for security.


    To Qiao Xuan''s surprise, Qingqing and Roger also came. Roger''s leg injury has healed. He is outside to cooperate with Xu Yi''s work.


    Qingqing and Roger''s daughter is more than one year old. They are learning to speak and call their mother with milk.


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t see her appearance, but she could guess that it must be a beautiful little girl. She took off a jade bracelet from her hand and fumbled it into Qingqing''s hand: "Sheng Liang didn''t tell me you were coming and didn''t prepare anything. This bracelet was regarded as a meeting gift for my child."


    "No, Miss Qiao, it''s too expensive!" Qingqing immediately refused, "and today is the young master''s full moon wine. We didn''t give him a gift."


    Qiao Xuan held her hand and didn''t let go: "if you can come, it''s the best gift. I can''t see it. Put it away quickly, or it''ll be a pity if you fall."


    Seeing that she couldn''t get rid of it, Qingqing had to accept it and teach the child to say thank you.


    After chatting for a while, Sheng Liang came in and said, "the guests are here. Take the children out."


    When Sheng Liang said this, he had come to Qiao Xuan, picked up the child, put it in her arms, and took her shoulder and walked out.


    When they entered the banquet hall, everyone stood up and congratulated them. Many female guests gathered around, looked at the children, smiled and said, "this small shape looks like a handsome man when you grow up."


    "Of course, I don''t want to see how good our genes are." Sheng Qian suddenly appeared, showing a sense of pride. He stretched out his hand to block them away and said, "you''re so surrounded, my little nephew can''t breathe fresh air."


    When those people dispersed, Sheng Liang looked at him and said, "when did you come back? Your secretary said you had a plane tomorrow."


    Sheng Qian tidied up his suit and said with some dissatisfaction: "you didn''t tell me such a big thing. If I hadn''t called Xu Yi, I wouldn''t know."


    Qiao Xuan listened to Sheng Qian''s tone and smiled: "I didn''t expect to see you for so long. You haven''t changed at all." she was still the wayward fourth young master.


    Sheng Qian looked at Qiao Xuan''s eyes and Sheng Liang again. He didn''t dare to say more. He just replied: "you also have the ability to run away from home. My third brother is going crazy looking for you. I can''t be romantic and happy this year. I''m tired of facing the group of people in the company every day."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t listen to his complaints. She only said that Sheng liangkuai was crazy, which made her heart ache suddenly.


    Although there were only these three words, although she had heard Sheng Liang say what he had experienced in the past year, it was completely another feeling to hear from Sheng Qian now.


    Sheng Liang saw the guilt on her face and frowned at Sheng Qian: "do you have nothing to do, so many words."


    Sheng Qian had wanted to say something. He inadvertently turned his head and saw Zhao Xiaowei coming this way. He hurriedly said, "I remember. I still have a lot to do. I''ll go first."


    Sheng Liang looked at him and left, looking around. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Xiaowei. He sighed.


    Zhao Xiaowei came over, pretended not to see Sheng Qian who had just run away, put a brocade bag in Sheng Sheng''s small bag quilt, smiled and said to Qiao Xuan, "this little guy is really cute."


    "Xiaowei?" Qiao Xuan heard her voice and understood why Sheng Qian was in a hurry to leave just now. These two people are really enemies.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t know what had happened to Qiao Xuan. Hearing her uncertain tone, she looked carefully and noticed that Qiao Xuan''s eyes had no focus. She was secretly surprised: "your eyes..."


    When Sheng Liang saw Zhao Xiaowei frown, he wanted to remind her, but before he had time, Zhao Xiaowei had asked. Although he stopped talking soon, it was obvious that Qiao Xuan heard it.


    However, to Sheng Liang''s surprise, Qiao Xuan didn''t show a low voice. Her tone was very flat and said, "my eyes can''t see it, but it doesn''t matter. I''m very happy to hear your voice."


    Sheng Liang wanted to hold her hand and slowly took it back.

 Chapter 321

    Zhao Xiaowei was also afraid that he had made trouble. He was relieved to hear her say so.


    After meeting everyone, Sheng Liang asks Qiao Xuan to sit next to Qiao''s parents. He has to greet other guests.


    Qiao Xuan took his hand and said, "don''t drink."


    Although Sheng Liang can''t escape on today''s occasion, Qiao Xuan said so because she was worried about his injury.


    Qiao Nan just came to find Sheng Liang. Hearing Qiao Xuan''s words, she immediately said, "don''t worry, sister, I''m in the way."


    Qiao Xuan also loosened Sheng Liang. This year, Qiao Nan did grow a lot. She was no longer impulsive and reckless.


    The identity and status of the people who came were there. It was inevitable to have polite greetings. Sheng Liang was a little absent-minded. He looked back at Qiao Xuan''s direction from time to time, so most of the time, Qiao Nan was talking and laughing with those people, and he was able to do everything with ease.


    "Brother in law, are you all right?" Qiao Nan saw Sheng Liang''s distraction and thought he was not feeling well.


    "It''s all right." Qiao xuanming sat there well. There were Xu Yi and Roger outside, but Sheng Liang was inexplicably flustered. "Xiao Nan, the rest of you, go say hello to me and I''ll go out and have a look."


    Before Qiao Nan answered, Sheng Liang passed through the crowd and walked to the door.


    Qiao Nan looked at his back and could see that he was nervous just now. He didn''t feel his heart sank. He hoped nothing would happen.


    Seeing Sheng Liang coming out, Roger immediately came over and asked, "what''s the matter, Liang Shao?"


    Sheng Liang looked around and asked, "isn''t there anything unusual?"


    Roger shook his head: "I haven''t found anything yet. Cool little, don''t be too nervous. This is the 36th floor. The whole floor is our people. Those guests have confirmed their identity. There is a fingerprint identification system at the entrance of the floor. It''s impossible to pretend to be a staff member. Unless he has wings, he can''t come in."


    Sheng Liang didn''t hear any loopholes. Maybe he was too nervous. When he heard Roger''s words, he nodded and said, "that''s good, but you and Xu Yi should pay more attention."


    "I know."


    Sheng Liang sank, turned back, took a few steps and asked Roger, "have you seen the roof?"


    Roger was slightly stunned because they came to arrange the scene early in the morning, and then checked it layer by layer. They didn''t find any potential safety hazards.


    Moreover, the hotel staff only entered after their inspection, and their scope of activities was only below the 36th floor, so neither he nor Xu Yi thought that someone would be on the roof.


    Although he wanted to say it was impossible, looking at Sheng Liang''s look, Roger immediately said, "I''ll go up and have a look now."


    Sheng Liang stood still, waiting for Roger''s news.


    If it had been in the past, he would not have been so careful, but now Xilin Fu must have jumped over the wall and was extremely vicious. He had to be more careful.


    Moreover, he asked Xu Yi to check Xilin Fu''s whereabouts. Up to now, there is no clue.


    After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. When he looked back, he saw Roger running in a panic, gasping for air pressure and saying in a low voice, "there is a man fainting above, his clothes have been picked up, and his left hand has been cut off."


    Sheng Liang''s heart suddenly sank. What he was worried about seemed to have happened. Xilin Fuguo ran into it and passed the fingerprint identification system with the man''s hand.


    He should be on this floor now, or maybe in the banquet hall.


    Regardless of what to tell Roger, Sheng Liang hurried back into the hall and saw Qiao Xuan with her family from a distance. The child was still in Qiao''s mother''s arms. He was a little relieved.


    He walked quickly to her, but suddenly he heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of broken glass. He instinctively followed the sound and saw that a large fish tank in the corner of the wall suddenly exploded.


    Feeling something in his heart, he immediately turned back and saw that a man in waiter''s clothes had come to Qiao Xuan''s side. That figure was Xilin Fu''s fault!


    As soon as he was about to run over, he heard someone shout, "there... There is a bomb!"


    Suddenly, the whole hall was in chaos, with the dumping sound of tables and chairs and the scream of women. Everyone began to flee everywhere. Sheng Liang wanted to pass, but he couldn''t do it at all.


    Moreover, when he looked over again, he couldn''t see Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan was pushed to the ground. She heard the child''s cry and reached out to the ground and groped: "years..."


    One hand suddenly caught her, pulled her up from the ground and protected her from the crowd.


    At that time, the hall was in chaos. Qiao Xuan was very flustered. She couldn''t tell who was holding her. She subconsciously thought it was Sheng Liang.


    But outside, it gradually quieted down, and Qiao Xuan''s steps began to slow down, but the people in front of her still walked very fast. She couldn''t keep up and staggered.


    "You are not Sheng Liang, who are you?" Qiao Xuan''s voice was filled with panic.


    The man didn''t answer, as if he was in a hurry to leave, and the roads under their feet seemed to be steps. The man dragged her, and she didn''t let go no matter how she broke it.


    "Your son is in my hand, you''d better not move!" his low hoarse voice sounded like a loud thunder in the cold air.


    Qiao Xuan was suddenly stunned, and her fingers suddenly took off: "Xilin Fu?"


    How could it be him? Isn''t he in prison?


    Although she didn''t know this when she left before, the town was not blocked. Their mobile phone number changed, but it didn''t affect the Internet.


    So she knows. After all, the Xilin family used to cover the sky with one hand. They fell overnight. People who don''t know the inside story can''t help but sigh.


    Besides, Xilin Yue is also a member of Xilin family. He mentioned it first.


    But the man who should have died in prison now appears here, and what he just said... Is the age in his hand?


    But why didn''t she hear the child crying?


    Xu Shi guessed her doubts. Xilin Fu suddenly stopped and pulled her to his side with a force in his hand: "the little thing is too noisy. I fed him some sleeping pills. Don''t worry. I can''t die."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers touched a soft ball, and his heart suddenly stopped like a stagnation: "you... How can... Give him sleeping pills!"


    The child is still so young. Even a small dose will hurt him. Xilin Fu is an animal!


    Qiao Xuan reached out and wanted to hold the child, but before she touched her hand, she was blocked by Xilin: "when you leave with me and get to a safe place, I will naturally give you the child."

 Chapter 322

    If she had a knife in her hand now, Qiao Xuan would definitely kill him!


    But Qiao Xuan knows that she must not be impulsive. Age is in his hand, and her eyes can''t see it. It''s inevitable that she will do something, but it will harm age.


    She heard the noise from below and knew that Sheng Liang must be looking for them, but she didn''t even know where she was now.


    But I''m sure that Xilin''s reappearance is also very embarrassed. Qiao Xuan can feel that the road under their feet is becoming more and more difficult.


    Just now, when Xilin yanked her, she even felt her hair touch the top wall.


    Their space should be very narrow, right?


    Unfortunately, she doesn''t know the layout of the hotel, otherwise she can know where she is.


    She tightened her fingers and touched the mobile phone in her pocket. She hesitated. She didn''t know whether Xilin noticed her movement. She slowly put her hand into her pocket.


    "Do you want to call him?" Xilin Fu immediately grabbed her hand. "Don''t you want your son?"


    As soon as Qiao Xuan loosened her hand, her mobile phone fell to the ground. She shook her head and said, "no, I want to prove to you that I won''t run. You hold the child for me. Anyway, I can''t see it. Holding the child again is absolutely impossible. I want my child to be safe, please."


    Xilin Fu looked at her, and a wicked smile escaped from the corner of his mouth: "you''re begging me. It seems that this child is very important to you, more important than Sheng Liang."


    Qiao Xuan nodded again and again: "yes, nothing is important to a child. He is my life. Will you give it to me quickly?"


    Xilin looked down at the sleeping child and put it in Qiao Xuan''s arm: "if you are obedient, I won''t hurt him."


    Anyway, he would have brought the child just to let Qiao Xuan go with him.


    As soon as Qiao Xuan hugged the child, she immediately touched his little face with her hand. Fortunately, the temperature was normal and her breathing was symmetrical. She should just fall asleep.


    But thinking that Xilin Fu actually gave the child sleeping pills, Qiao Xuan held the child''s hand tightly.


    The footsteps below kept approaching. Xilin Fu stopped talking to her and dragged her arm forward.


    In addition to the footsteps, I can''t hear any other noisy sounds. Sheng Liang probably told them not to make a sound, so it''s easier to judge Qiao Xuan''s location.


    So just now she deliberately threw away her mobile phone and made a sound, which really played some role. The footsteps scattered everywhere are now concentrated in this direction.


    Xilin Fu may have realized it, but he didn''t say anything. He just walked faster. Qiao Xuan deliberately fell twice, delaying time as much as possible.


    Xilin Fu still didn''t say anything, but pulled her tighter and harder, almost to lift her up and go.


    The road under her feet gradually flattened. It seemed that they had reached a high place. Qiao Xuan felt the wind suddenly blowing on her face, making her a little breathless.


    Moreover, she had just walked quickly. Her body was already very weak. She was already covered with sweat. Now, when the cold wind blew, the sweat on her body was like ice. It was cold and piercing. Qiao Xuan couldn''t help shivering.


    A coat was draped over her. Qiao Xuan knew it was Xilin Fu, but she couldn''t say thank you.


    For Xilin Fu, Qiao Xuan''s mood is a little complicated. She can''t remember some details of what happened when she was seven, but Xilin Fu didn''t hurt her. That''s for sure. Even he helped her many times.


    However, this is not a reason for her to forgive him. It is unforgivable for a person to do something wrong and hurt so many people.


    She never wavered in her determination to make him pay the price.


    As long as Xilin is still there, Sheng Liang and their children will never be safe.


    "Is this the roof?" Qiao Xuan asked, "there is no way back."


    The nearby glass flap swung back and forth in the wind, and Qiao Xuan''s voice was almost drowned by the sound.


    But she was sure that Xilin heard it.


    He didn''t stop. He pulled Qiao Xuan to the roof fence, and then quickly tied the prepared rope to the two people.


    "What do you want to do?" Qiao Xuan listened to the wind in her ear and Xilin''s current action, and her heart sank.


    "Get out of here." even in this case, Xilin Fu''s voice was still calm, as if nothing could make him flustered.


    Of course she knew he was going to leave here, but did he want to jump from here?


    But Qiao Xuan has no room for objection. Xilin Fu has held her tightly with one hand and stepped onto the fence.


    Qiao Xuan was extremely nervous, but now she could do nothing but hold the child tighter.


    "Gorgeous son!"


    When Xilin Fu was about to jump down, Sheng Liang came up with people. His chest shook violently. Seeing the scene in front of him, he almost blurted out.


    Qiao Xuan turned her head in the direction of Sheng Liang and showed a trace of joy on her face.


    This smile stimulated Xilin Fu, and his heart hated him more. He held Qiao Xuan''s hand harder and harder, and his other foot immediately stepped up.


    As long as you leave here, Sheng Liang will never find them again. This woman can only be his!


    "Xilin Fu!" Sheng liangleng drank, "do you think you can escape by jumping down here? There are policemen below. They can''t let you run away again!"


    Xilin Fu looked back at Sheng Liang and smiled contemptuously at the corners of his mouth: "you think I''m going to run, oh, in fact, I''m going to take them to hell! Sheng Liang, in the end, I won. Now the most important people for you are in my hands. They die with me!"


    Although he didn''t know whether what he said was true or false, Sheng Liang''s face turned white at once. He took Qiao Xuan and the child to jump down. This is what Xilin would dare to do. He didn''t dare to take risks.


    Sheng Liang''s tone weakened and said in a deep voice, "as long as you are willing to let go of them, I can promise you any conditions."


    Xilin snorted coldly, "now I think of talking to me about terms. It''s too late unless -"


    "Unless what?"


    "Unless you die!" Xilin smiled maliciously. "You jump down from here now, and I''ll let them go at once."


    Everyone frowned when they heard this sentence. They all knew that Qiao Xuan''s position in Sheng Liang''s heart was more important than his life. Maybe he would do so, so their eyes turned to him.


    "Sheng Liang!" Qiao Xuan suddenly shouted, "you won''t let me and my children have anything, will you?"

 Chapter 323

    Looking at the smile on her face, Xu Yi and Roger were surprised. What does this mean? Does she want Sheng Liang to really do what Xilin Fu said?


    It''s impossible. Qiao Xuan loves Sheng Liang so much. How can she let him die and make her and her children safe.


    Xu Yi and Roger firmly don''t believe it, but seeing that she seems to be waiting for Sheng Liang''s answer, they still can''t help worrying that it''s true.


    Even Xilin Fu unconsciously looked down at Qiao Xuan: "are you really willing to let him die?"


    "I''m not willing, but what can I do?" Qiao Xuan sighed, helpless on her face, and then said, "otherwise, you let him take the child away and I''ll leave with you."


    Xilin stared at her for a long time, as if to inquire about the truth of her words.


    Sheng Liang took two steps forward and said, "OK, gorgeous, as long as it''s your decision, I promise."


    "Cool little..."


    "Chairman!"


    Roger and Xu Yi shouted almost at the same time, but they saw Sheng Liang put his hand, looked at each other and didn''t speak again.


    Sheng Liang walked towards the edge of the Tiantai and asked Xilin Fu, "will you let them go as long as I jump from here?"


    "What do you say?" Xilin Fu didn''t answer positively. He knew that Sheng Liang was paying other attention, and he still didn''t stop Sheng liang from walking towards them.


    But he didn''t relax at all when he grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Sheng Liang walked to a place not far from Xilin, looked at him and said, "in fact, there''s something I want to tell you. Even if you jump into the air corridor below, it''s useless. I''ve thrown away the things you prepared."


    Xilin Fu''s pupils contracted for a moment, and his eyes became more and more cold. He didn''t expect Sheng Liang to find out.


    Since he took Qiao Xuan away from the hall, it''s only about ten minutes now. Sheng Liang should be very eager to chase them. Besides, Qiao Xuan has been giving Sheng Liang a hint just now. He ignored it because it was his will. Even if Qiao Xuan didn''t do that, he would try to let Sheng Liang know that they came to the roof, In this way, all people will only follow here and will not find his real intention.


    Unexpectedly, it was found.


    "It''s not certain who will win or lose now, instructor Xilin." Sheng Liang looked at Xilin Fu and looked uncertain. "You lost to me ten years ago, you must be very unwilling. I''ll give you this opportunity now. How about another contest?"


    "I didn''t lose." Xilin Fu gnashed his teeth, spit out word by word, and then smiled, "your women and children, their lives are in my hands. Do you want to watch me throw them down from here?"


    Sheng Liang clapped his hand and made an invitation gesture: "then come, I don''t believe you dare."


    This is really a dangerous provocation. For Xilin Fu, he doesn''t dare. He''s crazy.


    Just then, there was a sudden bang in the sky. Xilin could turn his head and see that it was fireworks exploding in the air. He suddenly reacted and immediately turned his head back, but it was too late.


    At that moment, Qiao Xuan cut the rope with the knife Sheng Liang gave her, and quickly backed away with the child in her arms.


    When Xilin Fu wanted to reach out to catch it, Sheng Liang had already blocked in front of Qiao Xuan. He grabbed Xilin Fu''s arm and immediately fell over his shoulder.


    Xu Yi and Roger also ran over. The first thing was to take Qiao Xuan and her children to a safe place.


    They set off the fireworks just now. When they saw Sheng Liang waving to them, they knew that Sheng Liang had his own plan. Just now, Sheng Liang provoked Xilin Fu and made a gesture, which was the hint to let them do it.


    But now Sheng Liang and Xilin Fu are fighting together, and they are near the fence. They will fall at any time. They have no way to intervene.


    Qiao Xuan can only hear her voice. One of her hearts is mentioned in her throat. Xilin''s reappearance is very extreme. He can''t have no other preparation. She''s really afraid of what will happen to Sheng Liang.


    Just at this time, Qiao Nan also ran up. Sheng Liang asked him to stay below to comfort the guests, and he didn''t expect that Xilin Fu took Qiao Xuan away. When he came up and saw the two people tangled together, he was stunned. He recovered and hurried to Qiao Xuan: "sister."


    Hearing his voice, Qiao Xuan immediately gave the child in her arms to him: "go down with years and years."


    Qiao Nan was stunned: "come down with me. There are so many people here. My brother-in-law will be fine."


    In other words, Qiao Xuan also knows that Xu Yi and Roger are people who react very quickly and have a tacit understanding with Sheng Liang, but she is not here to guard and can''t know that Sheng Liang is safe at the first time. She just can''t settle down in her heart.


    When she heard someone nearby exclaim, she knew that Sheng Liang''s condition was not very good. His injury was not good, and Xilin Fu must have died.


    But in the current situation, other people can''t help at all. If Xilin Fu is stimulated, it''s just a moment for him to die with Sheng Liang.


    Maybe Xilin Fu just hit Sheng Liang''s wound. Sheng Liang was distracted for a moment, so Xilin Fu pressed him on the fence and pinched his neck. Half of his body was outside the fence.


    Xu Yi and Roger were startled and hurriedly wanted to run over. Xilin never looked back and expected their actions. He shouted, "don''t move, or I''ll throw him down now!"


    Xu Yi and Roger dare not move forward. They are thinking of ways in their hearts.


    Hearing footsteps nearby, they turned around and saw that it was Qiao Xuan running past. They were surprised: "Miss Qiao..."


    Qiao Xuan couldn''t see it, so her steps were unstable, but she just ran in the direction of Sheng Liang and Xilin''s voice.


    When Sheng Liang saw her, he tried to block Xilin Fu''s hand and didn''t let him try again. At the same time, he said to Qiao Xuan, "don''t come over!"


    But Qiao Xuan didn''t seem to hear it at all. She still ran forward, and then ran straight into Xilin Fu. Xilin Fu was stunned, turned back and looked at her. At that time, Sheng Liang pushed Xilin Fu away and stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Xuan.


    But they didn''t expect that Xilin Fu had hugged Qiao Xuan''s waist while Sheng Liang pushed him away, and then turned out directly from the fence!


    Sheng Liang was stunned for a moment in his mind, but soon, he grabbed Qiao Xuan''s other hand and felt the wind hunting in his ear. The three fell down together!


    Xu Yi and others here were silly. They quickly ran over and shouted for Sheng Liang. Then when they saw that the three of them didn''t fall down and were still hanging in the air, Roger immediately shouted, "come quickly and pull Liang Shao up!!"

 Chapter 324

    When the people behind heard him shouting, they immediately ran over and grabbed one end of the rope and pulled it up.


    Xilin Fu was still tied with a rope. Originally, he intended to hold Qiao Xuan down, but Qiao Xuan was held by Sheng Liang. Now the rope became a load for the three of them, and Sheng Liang grabbed the protective net outside the window on the 42nd floor, so they all hung in the air and didn''t fall again.


    Xilin Fu looked up and kicked Sheng Liang, trying to let him let go and hold Qiao Xuan''s hand.


    Qiao Xuan feels Sheng Liang''s hand getting stronger and weaker. It must be because of his injury. Now her body is difficult to support. She knows that she should cooperate with him and finish it as soon as possible.


    So she wanted to break away from Xilin Fu''s hand, but now she had a very sharp hearing. She suddenly heard a strong wind in her ear and immediately noticed Xilin Fu''s action. She was flustered and almost instinctively stretched out her hand to hold Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu tried his best to kill Sheng Liang, but he immediately saw Qiao Xuan''s action. It was too late to take back his foot, so he watched his foot kick on Qiao Xuan''s head.


    By this blow, Qiao Xuan''s head was buzzing for a moment. She didn''t know anything. Her hand loosened and her body fell down.


    "Hua''er!" Sheng Liang was shocked. He subconsciously released his hand holding the protective net, and his body immediately fell down. He grabbed Qiao Xuan in an instant, and his other hand quickly grabbed the rope hanging from it.


    Suddenly, the weight increased again. The people above were caught off guard and suddenly loosened their hands. The rope carried three people down!


    However, they didn''t fall to the bottom. Sheng Liang and Xilin Fu knew that they would fall on the air corridor between the two buildings.


    Sheng Liang quickly turned around before falling on it, wrapped Qiao Xuan in his arms, and almost made a human meat cushion for her.


    With the impact of their falling from above and the weight of the two people, it can be imagined how heavy they fell. Sheng Liang felt a bloody smell on his chest and almost burst out, but he just held back.


    He immediately sat up and looked at Qiao Xuan who was still in his arms. He saw that she closed her eyes, her face was pale, and her eyebrows were tightly frowned together. He wanted to hold her tighter, but he was afraid of hurting her. He just closed her gently and whispered her name.


    Xilin Fu also climbed over at that time. His eyes were not as cruel as before. Instead, he looked flustered and guilty: "Qiao Xuan..."


    Sheng Liang heard his cry and looked up. The cold in his eyes almost frozen the air: "get out!"


    This man doesn''t deserve to call her name at all!


    Xilin Fu stopped and looked at Qiao Xuan who was completely unconscious in Sheng Liang''s arms. His heart was like an opening. The pain was so painful that he was about to lose consciousness.


    He knew in his heart why Qiao Xuan had become like this. More than ten years ago, if they hadn''t locked her up and hurt her, just now, he kicked her again. She wouldn''t have been like this.


    A burst of noisy footsteps came. It was Xu Yi and Roger who got off the roof and jumped down from the window on the first floor of the cloister.


    Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, as well as the sound of police sirens from the ground, sounded a long piece.


    Xilin seemed unaware. He was still looking at Qiao Xuan. When he saw that Sheng Liang picked Qiao Xuan up, he returned to God and said, "I''ll come back again."


    This sentence seemed to say to himself and to Qiao Xuan, although he knew that Qiao Xuan didn''t welcome him.


    Sheng Liang only focuses on Qiao Xuan and doesn''t care about Xilin Fu. He quickly takes Qiao Xuan back to the building. Xu Yi opens the way for him in front. They go down by elevator. There are ambulances waiting below.


    Put her on the stretcher and carried her to the ambulance. Sheng Liang''s hand never let go of Qiao Xuan''s hand. He felt her finger move and immediately asked, "what do you think, gorgeous son?"


    "A little dizzy." Qiao Xuan didn''t open her eyes. Her head seemed to swing back and forth a few times uncomfortable, and then shouted, "Sheng Liang."


    Sheng Liang held her hand in both hands and said softly, "I''m here."


    Hearing his words, Qiao Xuan seemed relieved and didn''t move any more. Her voice said very softly, "you''re all right, great."


    Sheng Liang''s heart tightened, and his chest began to surge again.


    "Sheng Liang." Qiao Xuan shouted again.


    "I''m here."


    "Don''t leave me."


    Sheng Liang''s fingertips holding her hand couldn''t help trembling. It seemed to be the first time. Qiao Xuan expressed her reluctance to him without disguise.


    Although Qiao Xuan is not a posturing person, she is always used to protecting others, so she never depends on anyone, let alone say such words that make her feel insecure.


    But what she said to him was that she gave him everything she had.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head, kissed her fingertips and said softly, "I won''t leave."


    He won''t let her alone in his life.


    When he got to the hospital, he sent Qiao Xuan to the operating room. Qiao Nan also came. When he saw Sheng Liang''s eyes, he immediately said, "my parents are watching the children at home. I''m afraid they can''t stand it."


    Sheng Liang nodded.


    Xilin Yue in surgical clothes came over and said to Sheng Liang, "you''ve seen the operation notice. I''d better tell you again. The operation is risky and risky. There may be a lot of accidents. You may not wake up, lose memory or become stupid. If you want to think well, it''s still time to make a decision."


    Sheng Liang looks at Qiao Nan. After all, he is Qiao Xuan''s family.


    Qiao Nan also looked at him and said, "before I came, my father said to leave the decision to you."


    Sheng Liang''s love for Qiao Xuan is clearer than anyone else, so they have no doubt that his decision will be selfish.


    Sheng Liang sank. After a long time, he looked up and said, "let''s have an operation."


    Instead of wasting it like this, he is also waiting for death. It''s better to gamble. At least half of the time, she can wake up. Even if she loses memory, even if she becomes a fool, he will take care of her all her life.


    Xilin Yue nodded and walked into the operating room.


    Qiao Nan saw Sheng Liang still standing there, his back straight, his fists clenched and hung on both sides, his eyes staring at the door of the operating room for a moment, and couldn''t help saying, "brother-in-law, sit down and wait for several hours."


    He has just experienced such a thrilling scene. His body must have been unsustainable for a long time. Now he is completely supported by his will.


    Sheng Liang reacted for a long time and mechanically walked to one side of the bench to sit down, but his eyes were still staring at the door of the operating room, as if Qiao Xuan would come out of it at any time.

 Chapter 325

    Qiao Nan looked at Sheng Liang and didn''t know how to persuade him. After all, he was also worried.


    Xu Yi and Roger soon came and stood in front of Sheng Liang, but they didn''t speak. Finally, Roger couldn''t help saying to Sheng Liang, "Xilin has run away again. The police haven''t found him yet."


    Sheng Liang curled his fingers on his legs, but there was no other reaction.


    Roger and Xu Yi looked at each other, and Roger asked, "Liang Shao, do we want to find him before the police?"


    Xilin Fu almost killed Qiao Xuan. Let alone Sheng Liang, Roger couldn''t help it. It''s just too cheap for him to put him in prison. Besides, the place can''t hold him at all.


    Sheng Liang naturally understood Roger''s meaning and didn''t refute it. He just said, "you just find him. I''ll do it myself."


    "Chairman..." although he understood that Sheng Liang wanted to avenge Qiao Xuan himself, he really wanted to do it. Sheng Liang''s hands were not clean. It was easy to be caught in the future. Xu Yi would not let him have this opportunity. When he saw Roger, he would object and immediately said, "do what the chairman said. Let''s go."


    Roger saw Xu Yi''s eyes and immediately understood. He followed Xu Yi to the side.


    Until he got to the underground parking lot of the hospital, Roger asked Xu Yi, "are you going to... Do it yourself?"


    Xu Yi nodded.


    Although they also use some extraordinary means in shopping malls, they have never been allowed to kill people and Sheng Liang.


    But this time, the situation is really special. Xilin Fu, they can''t let go. Since the police can''t take him, they have to come by themselves.


    Roger just didn''t expect that Xu Yi thought of it with him and was going to do it himself without telling Sheng Liang.


    Roger patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, opened the door on one side and sat down: "I''ll go with you. Do you know where else Xilin can go?"


    When Xu Yi saw him get on the bus, his face was a little frightened. He wanted to stop him. He stretched out his hand but took it back. He sat in the driver''s seat and said: "There is a little eyebrow. Before, the chairman asked me to check his hiding place. Although I haven''t found it, the following people saw a photo in other people''s circle of friends. When someone took a selfie in the street, there was a passer-by behind him. I''m checking the monitoring in that street. I came back because of today''s party."


    Roger smiled: "I didn''t expect your wood to be efficient."


    At the beginning, he recommended Cheng rang to Sheng Liang. Unexpectedly, that guy was so unreliable. Fortunately, Sheng Liang had planned, otherwise it was really troublesome.


    He didn''t expect that Xu Yi, who had been unable to figure out his identity before, should be so sincere to Sheng Liang.


    Now Xu Yi still uses the people brought out by Roger before, so when he sees Roger, he is very familiar with them and says to them, "we have seen the monitoring of all stores in this street, and we haven''t seen the shadow of Xilin Fu. Is that photo p?"


    Xu Yi shook his head: "I asked someone else. The photo is OK, but the surveillance didn''t take it. It can only show that Xilin Fu is really careful. If it wasn''t for the photo, no one might know that he appeared in this street."


    Roger looked around, his eyes stayed on the tall buildings behind the commercial street, and his mouth bent: "we are all too preconceived."


    Xu Yi heard what he said, looked down his eyes, and his face changed slightly: "Lanxi? You mean, Xilin Fu is still in his company, but..."


    Since he went to prison, the Xilin family has been in a mess. Originally, Xilin Yue had hope to support the important task. Unfortunately, he left with Qiao Xuan. After that, the brothers and nephews of the Xilin family fought openly and secretly, and they are still scattered now.


    However, they should not want to see Xilin appear again. Moreover, Xilin is still a wanted criminal. They must want to report it immediately. How can they keep him in the company.


    Although I can''t figure it out, this is probably the only explanation. It has been so many days since Xilin Fu escaped from prison. If he had been outside, he would have been found. After all, the police wouldn''t have thought that he would still be in the company.


    However, they had a tacit understanding that no one told Sheng Liang about it.


    In the corridor of the hospital, Sheng Liang still sat there and stared at the front. The whole person was like a statue.


    Four hours have passed, the operation is still in progress, and Sheng Liang has been here for four hours without moving at all.


    Qiao Nan sighed slightly and was about to go over and say something to him. Suddenly, his mobile phone rang. Seeing that it was Lin Zheng''s name, he went aside and said, "how are my parents? Is everything all right?"


    "They''re all right." Lin Zheng''s tone was heavy.


    Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized Lin Zheng''s silence: "what''s the matter with you?"


    "I''ve gone home, Xiao Nan, I have something to tell you." Lin Zheng''s voice sounded more gloomy.


    "What''s the matter?" Qiao Nan asked. When he heard a voice nearby, he turned and saw Sheng Liang standing up. He noticed that the light on the operating room was dark and immediately said, "let''s talk later. My sister came out."


    Before Lin Zheng''s response, Qiao Nan hung up and walked quickly.


    Qiao Xuan was pushed out, covered with white sheets, her eyes closed tightly, and her face was almost the same color as white.


    Sheng Liang looked down at her and held her hand tightly. There seemed to be nothing else in his eyes and heart.


    Qiao Nan saw that Xilin Yue came out and hurriedly asked, "is the operation going well? How''s my sister?"


    "It''s going well," xilinyue habitually said cautiously, "wait until she wakes up."


    Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Xilin Yue actually told him that Qiao Xuan would be fine.


    Sheng Liang also heard it, grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand more tightly, and then sent Qiao Xuan to the ward with the nurse.


    "Brother in law, you go and have a rest. I''ll watch here and I''ll call you when my sister wakes up." Qiao Nan stood aside, watching sitting by Qiao Xuan''s bed, helping her carefully tuck in the quilt corner.


    It''s already the afternoon. If you don''t take a rest and continue to cook at night, your body will certainly can''t stand it. Besides, they don''t have to work like this.


    "I don''t need it. You go back and see your uncles and aunts, so that they don''t have to worry. There are years and years, and they can take care of them for a few days." Sheng Liang''s tone is shallow, but he also has a detailed arrangement. Even in this case, his thinking is still clear.


    Go, Qiao Nan certainly can''t go, but it''s still right to call and tell Qiao''s parents that Qiao Xuan''s operation is very smooth and should wake up soon. He hung up and saw an unread message from Lin Zheng on the screen. He clicked on it and there were only five words on it.


    let''s break up.

 Chapter 326

    Qiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately called the phone. The bell rang for a long time before he was connected. Lin Zheng''s tired voice came from that end: "have you received the information, what else?"


    "What''s the matter? Lin Zheng, what do you mean by sending that message? What''s the good news? Are you angry because I just hung up your phone?" Qiao Nan coaxed with a smile. "Just now, I wasn''t nervous about my sister. I didn''t mean to. Be good. Don''t be angry."


    Lin Zheng sighed: "do you think I''m such a hypocritical person?"


    Qiao Nan thought, it''s really not: "what''s the matter? What''s wrong with me? Tell me, I''ll change."


    Lin Zheng was silent for a long time before he said, "I empathize, don''t fall in love, fall in love with others, so I''ll tell you the first time, so as not to hurt you."


    "What are you talking about?" Qiao Nan still couldn''t believe it. "Who is that man!"


    "It doesn''t matter who it is. You just need to know that we have broken up." Lin Zheng paused for a while and added, "also, my contract with the company will expire next month, and I won''t renew it."


    "What are you... Talking about?" Qiao Nan was stunned. In fact, even if Lin Zheng was serious about breaking up, Qiao Nan didn''t think she really wanted to break up. She just thought she was angry, but when she talked about the contract, Qiao Nan realized that she wasn''t kidding.


    But Lin Zheng didn''t answer him again. He hung up the phone directly. Qiao Nan called again and prompted to shut down.


    Qiao Nan was so angry that she threw her cell phone out and kicked the wall heavily: "break up? I haven''t agreed yet!"


    Sheng Liang heard the sound and came out, looking at Qiao Nan: "what''s the matter?"


    Qiao Nan suppressed her anger and bent down to pick up her mobile phone: "it''s all right. By the way, brother-in-law, is Lin Zheng''s contract about to expire? Why don''t I know?"


    "I''m not sure, but Lin Zheng should still sign the contract with white bear. It''s almost three years." Sheng Liang looked at his look and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t let Lin Zheng change the contract. It must be because of him. At that time, Fei lengcui just bought white bear. He fell in love with Lin Zheng at first sight at the company''s internal cocktail party, and expressed it to Qiao Xuan without disguise.


    Originally, it was just a careless remark, but now it is likely that because of this remark, the company will lose a first-line actress with strong momentum.


    "Sorry, brother-in-law, I think it''s my reason. Lin Zheng wants to break up with me and says he won''t renew his contract with the company." Qiao Nan lowers his head and looks ashamed.


    Sheng Liang looked at him and said, "you don''t have to consider the company, but if you don''t want to break up with her, try your best to recover it."


    In Qiao Nan''s impression, Sheng Liang has always been a person with few words and never took the initiative to express anything. Today, he said so much to him, probably because of Qiao Xuan, because this experience made him know how to cherish more.


    In fact, compared with Sheng Liang, Qiao Nan himself knows that he has done too little for Lin Zheng.


    "Nothing, wait until my sister wakes up." Qiao Nan reluctantly smiled.


    Sheng Liang turned around and opened the door of the ward: "I''ll take good care of her. You don''t have to worry."


    Looking at the door being closed, Qiao Nan was embarrassed for a moment. It seemed that he and Qiao Xuan were the closest people. However, he really couldn''t wait to find Lin Zheng to ask for clarification.


    His mobile phone has Lin Zheng''s location. Seeing her current location, she is not at home, but in a western restaurant near their home. Qiao Nan frowned slightly, as if she had a hunch of something.


    Qiao Nan drove all the way and thought about many possibilities, but he always couldn''t understand. When she first came to the hospital, she was fine. When she asked her to send her parents back, she didn''t say anything. Even when they called before, she didn''t have any abnormalities. For a while, what happened? How suddenly, she changed.


    Qiao Nan seemed to hold a breath in her heart. The closer she was to Lin Zheng, the more she seemed to overflow.


    Park the car at the door of the restaurant. Qiao Nan tidied up her clothes and went in. The welcoming lady at the door immediately came up and asked him if he had reserved a seat.


    Qiao Nan looked inside and saw the table by the window, facing Lin Zheng here. Opposite her, there was a man in a suit. He said, "it''s already ordered. Thank you."


    Qiao Nan walked slowly over. Lin Zheng also saw him when he inadvertently looked up. His face turned pale for a moment, as if he didn''t expect him to come here.


    The man noticed Lin Zheng''s look, looked back along her eyes and saw Qiao Nan. At that time, Qiao Nan had also come to their table. He stood up, stretched out his hand to Qiao Nan, smiled and said, "Hello, you are Qiao Nan, I''m Mo Chen."


    Qiao Nan glanced at the man: "Mo Chen? Are you the little white face who was taken care of by a rich woman after cheating on Lin Zheng''s college senior?"


    Hearing his words, Mo Chen''s face immediately became embarrassed. His face was red and white. Seeing that Qiao Nan didn''t mean to shake hands with him, his hand took it back: "it''s all a misunderstanding. I explained it to Xiao Zheng."


    Qiao Nan turned to Lin Zheng and saw her sitting there without any reaction. Just don''t start. He seemed very reluctant to see him. He just sat next to her and said with a sneer, "don''t you want to explain to me when and how long?"


    Lin Zheng''s face flushed with anger. She turned to Qiao Nan and said, "don''t talk here. How long has it been? I''ve just met my senior."


    "Broke up with me just because of him?" Qiao Nan was upset and his tone was even worse. "Have you not forgotten him for so long and kept me as a spare tire!"


    Lin Zheng frowned, bit his lower lip, pressed his emotions and said, "I don''t want to quarrel with you. It has nothing to do with the senior students. Please go."


    "I won''t go. Your senior didn''t drive me away. Maybe people would like me to stay and tell him the story between us." Qiao Nan called the waiter and asked for a bottle of brandy.


    As soon as he finished, Lin Zheng immediately said to the waiter, "don''t listen to him. We don''t want wine. Thank you."


    "Who said no, don''t worry, I''ll pay." Qiao Nan snorted and said to the waiter, "please bring the wine quickly."


    When the waiter walked away, Lin Zheng frowned and whispered, "Qiao Nan, what are you doing? I''m having dinner with the senior. Can you stop making trouble here?"


    "If you don''t make it clear, I won''t go." Qiao Nan leaned back and looked straight at Mo Chen opposite, "or Mo Xuechang can talk to me."

 Chapter 327

    Mo Chen looked very embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly, then sat upright and said as if he were very serious: "Well, I really saw Xiaozheng for the first time after returning home. However, her sister works with me now. I know something about you from Xiaoxian. Since you come, I''ll tell you frankly. I''ve decided to pursue Xiaozheng again. It''s just that you broke up, and I''m not a good person."


    Listen to Mo Chen''s words as if he were a gentleman. Now he told him to chase Lin Zheng. Then why did Lin Zheng break up with him? And he just broke up with him. In the twinkling of an eye, he dated another man here. It''s not fishy and tricky!


    Qiao Nan snorted coldly and ignored it. Just as the waiter brought the wine, he poured himself a glass and drank it with his head up.


    Seeing that he poured another cup and wanted to drink, Lin Zheng quickly grabbed his arm: "Qiao Nan, don''t drink. You can''t drink at all. If you drink too much, you''ll feel bad!"


    "You still care about me," Qiao Nan looked at her and grabbed her hand. "You told me that you were angry with me when you broke up. I know I have a bad temper. I''ll change it later, okay? Go and go home with me."


    Seeing Qiao Nan pulling her away, Lin Zheng quickly shook off his hand: "enough, stop making trouble, Qiao Nan, when can you grow up and stop being so childish? I told you to break up, but I don''t like you. How can there be so much? Why!"


    Lin Zheng has always been a good girl and gives everyone the impression that she is a very gentle girl. Even if she has been in the entertainment industry for so long, she has never had any gossip, like a lotus that comes out of the mud without dyeing.


    Qiao Nan has been with her for more than a year and hasn''t seen her lose her temper.


    Qiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then the wine came up. He was dizzy. He looked at Lin Zheng in a daze, with some wronged expression on his face: "I know, I know, I''m sorry, I''ll go..."


    He stood up faintly and bumped into the corner of the table when he walked out. He immediately covered his stomach and looked miserable.


    When Lin Zheng saw it, he helped him and asked, "how are you? Does it hurt?"


    Because things happened so suddenly, Lin Zheng almost instinctively did so, and the worry and concern on his face could not be hidden.


    But Qiao Nan really hurt. She lowered her head, covered her stomach, loosened her hand, waved her hand and said, "it''s okay, it''s okay, I''ll go, I won''t disturb you."


    Because he was unprepared and worried, he hit him a little hard and was almost speechless in pain.


    But how could this pain compare with the pain in his heart? He was obviously very angry, but he had to pretend to be generous and let them continue dating.


    It is because Lin Zheng said that he is always young and he is always too naive, so he can only do so to let her not hate him so much.


    Looking at Qiao Nan staggering out of the door, Lin Zheng''s face turned white. Her words really hurt him.


    "That..." Mo Chen whispered, "does he really matter? Do you want to see him?"


    Lin Zheng sat down slowly and tried to keep calm: "it''s all right. He can go home by himself."


    Mo Chen nodded. When Lin Zheng collected his eyes, there was an imperceptible smile on his mouth, but he soon returned to normal and asked, "can we talk about cooperation?"


    "Yes." Lin Zheng nodded.


    Mo Chen took out a document from her bag, handed it to her and said, "this is the contract. You can take it back and have a look first. If there is no problem, call me and tell me. I''ll arrange the signing for you."


    "Senior," Lin Zheng asked, "does the other party... Really don''t mind my offer?"


    Mo Chen smiled and said, "you underestimate yourself. With your current value and your influence, for Tianyun, you are their cash cow. What is this money?"


    Lin Zheng didn''t ask again. She looked down at the contract and said, "I don''t need to see it. I promise to sign the contract. The senior will help me arrange it."


    "OK." Mo Chen smiled meaningfully and put the contract away. "I think you''re not in the mood to eat, so I''ll go first."


    Lin Zheng said well, not even a polite word, because she was really confused.


    The slender fingers unconsciously clenched, Lin Zheng sighed, then slowly stood up, picked up her bag and walked out.


    Out of the restaurant door, she was about to drive. A man suddenly rushed over and startled her. Instinctively, he pushed the man away. She saw it was Qiao Nan. She quickly caught him who was pushed out by her: "Qiao Nan!"


    Qiao Nan was obviously drunk, his face was flushed, and there were traces of vomit on his clothes, but he held Lin Zheng tightly and said wrongfully, "I know I''m wrong. It''s all my fault, but I don''t want to leave you. Don''t break up with me, will you?"


    Looking at him now, Lin Zheng frowned and grabbed his arm around his neck: "you''re drunk, I''ll take you home."


    Qiao Nan shook her head desperately: "if you don''t go home, I''ll be with you."


    Lin Zheng thought for a moment. Now Qiao Xuan has an accident. Qiao''s parents are busy taking care of their children. They certainly can''t take care of him. Moreover, it will only be more sad to see him now.


    Lin Zheng stuffed Qiao Nan into the car, found a hotel and stopped. The waiter helped him into the room.


    Lin Zheng helped him to bed and lay down. Qiao Nan was like a child. She just refused to lie down and turned back and forth. She kept saying, "Lin Zheng, I just like you. I like you for so long. Why don''t you want me? I''m so uncomfortable."


    Looking at him turning around and covering his chest, Lin Zheng pulled his shoulder and didn''t let him move. He asked softly, "is it uncomfortable in his stomach?"


    "HMM." Qiao Nan frowned wrongfully.


    Lin Zheng sighed, sat next to him and rubbed him with one hand: "I said I wouldn''t let you drink. I have to be strong. Don''t you know what''s going on."


    Qiao Nan pouted and looked at her: "I just... Can''t see you eating with that little white face."


    "He''s just my senior, we have nothing," said Lin Zheng, but after explaining, he felt that he shouldn''t explain to him at all.


    Anyway, it''s useless to say this.


    Sure enough, Qiao Nan immediately sat up and looked straight at her: "so you won''t break up with me?"


    Lin Zheng took his hand back, turned his head and didn''t look at him: "I said, it has nothing to do with him about our breakup."


    She fell in love with Qiao Nan. She really fell in love with this person. She would not change because of his shortcomings and habits, and she could not betray him because of others.


    It''s just that she really feels powerless about some things. She''s too useless to let them come to this step.

 Chapter 328

    "Then tell me why?" Lin Zheng is not unreasonable. It is impossible to break up with him because of a small matter. Since she said so, it shows that this matter must be very serious.


    Lin Zheng looked at him. He wanted to talk and stopped, but in the end he didn''t say anything.


    She didn''t say it wasn''t because of her affectation, but because even if she said it, Qiao Nan couldn''t help. According to his temperament, if he knew it, he would certainly bring it to him.


    But how much ability he can have. If he asks to help Qiao Xuan and Sheng Liang, the favor is really too great. She can''t afford it, so she simply won''t say it.


    If you don''t give him a reason, he will never give up. Lin Zheng was silent for a while and said, "I''ll tell you. Before, it was because my leg was hurt. I don''t know if I can stand up, so I agreed to your proposal, but I''m all right now. Do you think I''ll marry you in my capacity?"


    Qiao Nan didn''t know if it was because of alcohol. His head was confused for a while. He came back, shook his head and said, "I don''t believe it. You''re not greedy for wealth at all."


    Lin Zheng smiled: "thank you for looking up to me. However, it has nothing to do with greed for wealth. People go up high. This is the law of nature."


    Qiao Nan gritted his teeth: "I fucking want to know now, which high branch did you climb!"


    Lin Zheng looked at his increasingly dark face and asked, "you''re not drunk at all, are you? You were acting with me just now?"


    "Don''t digress, I''ll ask you who that man is?" if she can''t say it, she''s lying!


    Lin Zheng stood up and went to the door. He said, "it''s unreasonable."


    "Guilty, you''re lying to me. I tell you, I can''t break up with you!" Qiao Nan shouted.


    But his voice was cut off by Lin Zheng.


    The room was quiet. Qiao Nan leaned back on the bed and looked at the ceiling, but her eyes had no focus.


    He was really drunk, but just now, he was really angry.


    He looked at it for a while, then slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep.


    hospital.


    Qiao Xuan still didn''t wake up. Sheng Liang was still with her, holding her hand carefully. There was blood in her eyes.


    When someone knocked at the door, Sheng Liang turned his head and saw that it was Xilin Yue, and his head turned back to Qiao Xuan.


    Xilin Yue knows that Sheng Liang is very polite. If he didn''t help Qiao Xuan with the operation, he would never let him go if he hid Qiao Xuan for so long.


    "I''m going to work, so come and have a look," Xilin Yue said carefully. "Didn''t she wake up once?"


    "No." Sheng Liang said in a deep voice, a little hoarse.


    Xilin Yue didn''t have to ask. For most of the day, Sheng Liang never left. He must have never even drunk a mouthful of water.


    He sighed softly, "I think you''d better take a break. When Qiao Xuan wakes up, there''s still a lot to do."


    Nursing is the most tiring.


    "Thank you." Sheng Liang only said these two words.


    Only these two words, but Xilin Yue understood that this was Sheng Liang''s expulsion order for him.


    Xilin Yue''s eyes fell on Qiao Xuan''s face. Her head was wrapped with thick gauze, her eyes were closed, and her face was as white as gauze.


    This is different from her usual. The patient''s appearance will not be very good-looking, but Sheng Liang doesn''t care at all.


    In fact, he can also do it. For her, he can not want the inheritance right of the Xilin family. He can take care of her for a year. If there is no Shengliang now, he will stay by her hospital bed.


    But he is also a person who knows restraint. He knows that Qiao Xuan doesn''t have him in her heart, and he never deliberately tells her. Only that time, he lost control and scared her away directly.


    Xilin Yue has regretted that if he didn''t say those words, they should still live in that small town and live a life free from the world.


    But when they came back, all the troubles appeared again.


    He sighed secretly and said to Sheng Liang, "then I''ll go back. If anything happens, call me again."


    "HMM." Sheng Liang didn''t look at him, just answered.


    After Xilin Yue closed the door and went out, Sheng Liang covered his other hand, wrapped Qiao Xuan''s hand in his palm and whispered, "don''t you wake up? I can''t help it. I can''t help but want to hit this man."


    He can still talk to Xilin Yue so politely. It''s not that he has more self-restraint, but that he knows that Qiao Xuan is grateful to this person.


    As if to respond to his words, Qiao Xuan''s fingers suddenly moved. Although it was only a slight tremor, Sheng Liang noticed it.


    He hurriedly ran out and shouted to the figure that was about to disappear at one end of the corridor: "Xilin Yue!"


    Xilinyue had a hunch of something, turned around and ran over quickly.


    After some examination, Xilin Yue even said to Sheng Liang excitedly, "all the indications are normal. Now, we just have to wait for her to wake up."


    Sheng Liang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down gently, held Qiao Xuan''s hand again and kissed: "gorgeous son..."


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers moved twice again, and this time, it was no longer an unconscious tremor, but seemed to grasp something.


    Sheng Liang raised his head and looked at it blankly. He still couldn''t react for a moment.


    "Qiao Xuan!" Xilin Yue first saw that Qiao Xuan''s eyes opened and immediately shouted.


    Sheng Liang also saw it immediately. Seeing her eyelashes trembling, he quickly stretched out his hand and helped her block the light she couldn''t adapt to: "gorgeous son, can you hear me?"


    Qiao Xuan slowly adapted to the light in the ward, opened her eyes and nodded weakly.


    "Can you see us now?" Xilin Yue also asked.


    "I can see..." Qiao Xuan''s voice was so weak that it seemed to dissipate in the air at any time.


    But this sentence inspired the two of them at the same time. Xilin Yue smiled and said, "great, her eyes can see!"


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and looked at the worry in her eyes when she looked at herself. He knew that he must be very bad now. He leaned down, kissed her dry lips and said, "just wake up."


    From the beginning to the end, Qiao Xuan only looked at Sheng Liang. Xilin Yue was a little lost, but he quickly adjusted his mind and retreated silently.


    Qiao Xuan he likes is such a persistent and loyal woman. She knows what she wants and has been working hard for it.


    If you have feelings for another person just because of gratitude or company, I''m afraid it''s not what he likes.


    Standing outside the door, Xilin Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. After returning from the town, he had been blaming himself for not saying that to Qiao Xuan at that time. He wanted to find a chance to make up for it. Fortunately, the operation succeeded. At least he had a chance to say sorry to her face to face.

 Chapter 329

    Sheng Liang knew that Xilin Yue had gone out, but there was no response. He still stared at Qiao Xuan and saw that she wanted to move. He immediately held the back of her head with his hand for fear that her action would pull the wound too much.


    Qiao Xuan reluctantly smiled and asked in a very light voice, "how old is it?"


    "Uncle and aunt take care of him at home. You don''t have to worry more." Sheng Liang stroked the gauze wrapped around her head with his fingers, "does it hurt?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "it doesn''t hurt, but it''s a little swollen."


    Qiao Xuan looked at his face and her eyes turned red. They hadn''t seen each other for more than a year. After she came back, she didn''t know because her eyes couldn''t see it. Sheng Liang was so thin.


    Especially now, his eyes are bloodshot and his face is haggard. During her coma, he probably didn''t close his eyes.


    "Sheng Liang, I''m sorry." no matter what her original intention is, the result is still the same as before. What''s the significance of her doing so much? It just makes Sheng Liang more worried.


    Sheng Liang didn''t retort. Looking at her eyes red, he said, "now you know, no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to leave without saying a word. Otherwise, even at the ends of the earth, I will find you."


    With this time, Qiao Xuan has completely realized it. How can there be another time.


    She touched his face painfully and said, "I''m fine. Go to sleep."


    Sheng Liang turned to look at the window. It was dark. His slender fingers stroked her eyes and said, "you sleep first, I watch you sleep, and I''ll sleep again."


    Qiao Xuan nodded. Her strength was only enough to nod. After saying so few words just now, she felt very tired and her head was drowsy. When she heard Sheng Liang''s words, she slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.


    The warm wind was blowing gently in the ward, and the orchid fragrance on the windowsill was filled. Sheng Liang held Qiao Xuan''s hand quietly until she slept heavily, and he slowly fell down by her bed.


    Even when he was asleep, he didn''t let go of her hand.


    He didn''t want to have such an experience again. Under no circumstances would he let her leave him again.


    One night without a dream, when Qiao Xuan woke up the next morning, she saw Sheng Liang lying by the bed at the first sight. He hasn''t slept well for a long time. His sleeping appearance is so quiet and safe, which is completely different from the indifference during the day.


    She can see him again. This is the most gratifying thing for Qiao Xuan, but she doesn''t dare to touch him for fear of waking him up. She just keeps looking at him like that.


    But Sheng Liang was awakened by the knock outside the door. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Xuan looking at him and saw him awake. A blush flashed across his pale face.


    So Sheng Liang didn''t hurry to let the people outside in, but bowed his head and kissed her.


    The lips of the two people are dry, and when they stick together, they still have a rough feeling of friction, but this does not affect their shallow pecking and deep kissing. Even Sheng Liang doesn''t want to let go.


    Qiao Xuan pushed him gently. Because of the kiss just now, she gasped and said ruddy, "there are people outside."


    Sheng Liangcai finally sat up straight, covered Qiao Xuan''s quilt again, and said to the outside, "come in."


    But they didn''t expect that the person who came in was Qiao Nan, especially Qiao Xuan. She really didn''t know when her brother behaved so well.


    Qiao Nan had a depressed face. When she came in, she saw Qiao Xuan wake up and immediately walked over with bright eyes: "sister, you''re awake!"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t have the strength to quarrel with him now. She just nodded and asked, "why did you come so early?"


    Qiao Nan looked at Sheng Liang. He shouldn''t have told Qiao Xuan what happened last night, so he reluctantly smiled and said, "I''m not worried about you. I''m relieved to see you''re all right. I''ll go to work in the company later. What do you want to eat, I''ll buy it first."


    Xilin Yue hasn''t given the doctor''s order yet. Sheng Liang doesn''t know if Qiao Xuan can eat, and he''s not hungry at all. He says to Qiao Nan, "don''t worry. I''ll buy it myself later."


    "Oh." Qiao Nan scratched her hair and hesitated for a while before asking Sheng Liang, "brother-in-law, is Xu Yi going to the company today? I have something to do with him."


    "I don''t know." Sheng Liang shook his head, "what are you looking for him?"


    Speaking of it, after Xu Yi and Roger left yesterday, neither of them came back nor called him. I don''t know what happened to them.


    Qiao Nan said hurriedly, "it''s all right. I''ll just ask. I''ll go first."


    Watching him close the door and go out, Qiao Xuan asked Sheng Liang, "what''s the matter with Xiaonan?"


    "It''s like making trouble with Lin Zheng." Sheng Liang knows it''s not so simple, but he doesn''t intend to tell Qiao Xuan at this time that he will naturally intervene in the contract between Lin Zheng and the company. As for feelings, none of them can help.


    Qiao Xuan sighed secretly. She thought Qiao Nan had become mature. It seems that no matter how a person grows up, her character can''t be changed. Women can''t stand being like children all day.


    Sheng Liang went to the bathroom to wash his face and looked at his watch. It was time for Xilin Yue to come. He went to the nurse station and asked, "is Dr. Xilin here?"


    The two nurses shook their heads at the same time. One of them said, "it''s strange today. Dr. Xilin never was late before. He came before 8 o''clock every day. What time is it today? Isn''t there an operation at 9:30?"


    "Yes, and director Zhang just said that there was a meeting to be held later. He couldn''t get through to his cell phone. It''s really anxious."


    Sheng Liang slowly walks to Qiao Xuan''s ward. He also tries to call Xilin Yue. The bell keeps ringing, but no one answers.


    He knew that Xilin Yue was not such an irresponsible person. It was not his style to leave so many patients alone.


    Something must have happened.


    When Sheng Liang was about to walk to the door of the ward, he suddenly thought of something. He found Xu Yi''s number and dialed it. After the bell rang for a while, someone finally answered. He asked in a deep voice, "are you with Roger and where are you?"


    "We... Are still looking for Xilin Fu. We saw him on the surveillance of a store. When we find his location, I''ll call you," Xu Yi said.


    Xu Yi is different from Roger. He has a straight mind and won''t have so many wrong ideas. Therefore, Sheng Liang has no doubt about what he said. He just said, "well, remember what I said, find his location and inform me immediately. You don''t have to worry about the rest."


    "I see," Xu Yi said stiffly, then hung up the phone.


    Roger looked at him, smiled and said, "I didn''t expect you to lie too. Liang Shao would be surprised if he knew you were lying to him."

 Chapter 330

    Xu Yi sighed: "at least until this is done, I don''t want him to know."


    Roger nodded: "don''t worry, I''ll keep it a secret. However, this Xilin Yue can''t be left here all the time. He''s a doctor and miss Qiao''s attending doctor. If he doesn''t go to work, Liang Shao will be aware of it. Maybe he''s already aware of it."


    Otherwise, how could you call at this time.


    Xu Yi naturally understands, but just now, his hand was heavy, and Xilin Yue fainted and hasn''t woke up yet.


    "Otherwise, take him to the hospital." Xu Yi looked at Roger and said with other attention in his heart.


    Roger patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "you really can''t lie. It''s better not to tell such lies when you catch a cold in the future."


    He wanted to get rid of him, and then a man killed Xilin Fu. Roger only had to look at his eyes to understand his idea.


    Xu Yi did not refute, but said, "you have a family, a mother, a wife and a daughter. You don''t have to do this."


    Anyway, he''s alone. It doesn''t matter if he dies or goes to prison.


    "Me," Roger smiled, "my life is also cold. If there is no cold in my home, there is nothing now. What am I doing for him?"


    Xu Yi looked at him sideways and said, "I see."


    Both men were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about their own thoughts. Then Roger looked at Xilin Yue on the ground and said, "I''d better wake him up first."


    And you have to think of a way not to be noticed.


    Roger heard a cry outside. He walked carefully to the window and saw a small football field behind the house. Several teenagers were playing football. They chased each other. He smiled and said, "there''s a way."


    He found a stool and smashed a hole in the window, then asked Xu Yi to frighten the teenagers, saying that they smashed their window playing football, and then made up a reason to exchange a new football for their old one.


    Because they were afraid of being known by their parents, the teenagers naturally didn''t dare to say it.


    Xu Yi put the ball next to Xilin Yue, then pushed him a few times. Seeing that he moved, they immediately hid.


    Xilin Yue groaned, covered his head and sat up. Then he saw the football rolling down next to him. Looking back, he saw a big hole in the window and a broken glass on the ground.


    He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost nine o''clock. Immediately, a spirit jumped up. He was dizzy and almost fell down, but he still held the door and went out quickly.


    The car drove very fast along the way and almost crashed several times. Xilin Yue has never been like this, but it''s really too late.


    When he finally got to the hospital, he almost ran into his ward and was out of breath when he came to the nurse station.


    "Sorry, I''m late. What''s the matter with the patient?" Xilin Yue asked, holding the nurse''s table.


    Seeing that his face turned white and his forehead was sweating, the nurse was embarrassed to say anything, but said: "nothing, that is, the patient in the VIP ward asked if he could eat, and director Zhang said he wanted you to go to the meeting, but now... It may be almost over, and the operation at 9:30..."


    Before the nurse finished, Xilin Yue waved his hand and said, "I know. Let the operating room prepare surgical instruments."


    He didn''t even have time to change his white coat, so he hurried to Qiao Xuan, knocked on the door and went in. He saw that Qiao Xuan''s spirit was much better. He was secretly relieved, and then said with a sorry smile: "sorry, I had an accident today. I''m late. Now I can give her something to eat, but it''s best to eat liquid food. I should be able to eat normally tomorrow."


    He obviously said the latter sentence to Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan looks at Sheng Liang and remembers what Sheng Liang said when she woke up. She pinched his palm secretly.


    In fact, Sheng Liang said that he couldn''t help beating Xilin Yue on purpose. He knew that Qiao Xuan wouldn''t let him do that, and he couldn''t do that. For him, Xilin Yue gave Qiao Xuan a second life. It was his benefactor. How could he beat him.


    "I see, thank you." Sheng Liang said. Seeing that Xilin Yue was still wearing civilian clothes, he knew he came here as soon as he came, and said, "it''s all right here. Doctor Xilin, go to work."


    "Well." Xilin Yue reluctantly smiled. He couldn''t help but move his eyes to Qiao Xuan. Seeing that she was also looking at him, he immediately avoided his eyes, "then I''ll go to work. Call me if you have something."


    Xilin Yue''s front foot went out, and Sheng Liang''s back foot followed him. He stopped him and asked, "can I ask why you were late?"


    Although this is Xilin Yue''s personal affair, which has nothing to do with him, Sheng Liang couldn''t help asking clearly when he thought of his previous guess.


    Xilin Yue touched the back of his head. There was still a little pain: "when I was ready to go out, I was kicked to the head by a group of children playing football. I fainted for a while. It''s really more and more useless."


    "Football?" Sheng Liang repeated suspiciously.


    "I didn''t notice before. When I woke up, I saw a dirty football on the ground, and my window was broken." Xilin Yue asked, "what''s the matter, what''s wrong?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "no, just ask casually."


    Xilin Yue gave a cry and turned away.


    But Sheng Liang saw that Xilin Yue''s collar was very clean. It didn''t look like he had been kicked by the dirty football he said, and he came in such a hurry that he shouldn''t have changed his clothes.


    Sheng Liang''s doubt is stronger than before.


    Xilinyue''s villa.


    The crisp sound of opening the door came from downstairs. Xu Yi and Roger immediately stood by the door, with very light and consistent movements.


    Footsteps came upstairs without delay. Their spirits were tight and their heartbeat was accelerating.


    Footsteps stopped at the door, and the doorknob was pressed down, but it didn''t bounce up.


    Xu Yi and Roger took a deep breath. They looked at each other and didn''t understand why the people outside stopped.


    They were found?


    But now, even if they want to stop, it''s too late, but if they want to do it rashly, they really don''t have to be Xilin Fu''s opponents.


    The door handle bounced up, but Xilin Fu didn''t open the door. He smiled darkly, went to the bathroom, put on his mask, took out a bottle, poured 84 disinfectant and toilet cleaning spirit in, and shook it hard.


    Xu Yi and Roger knew that Xilin Fu must have found something wrong, so they left. They were about to discuss what to do next. Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming again, the door was opened and a bottle was thrown in.


    In an instant, the whole room was filled with a pungent smell!

 Chapter 331

    The two men coughed violently and even fainted. Roger covered his nose and opened the door, but found that the door was locked.


    They all know what this is. If they don''t leave quickly, they will really die of poisoning!


    Xu Yi quickly ran over and tried to open the window, but found it useless. Someone should have locked the window with a sensor.


    The only way they can breathe fresh air now is the hole smashed before.


    Xu Yi waved to Roger and let him pass. They took turns breathing, and then looked for something to break the whole glass.


    Now, they are too busy to think about how to kill Xilin Fu.


    However, they finally knew how cautious and suspicious Xilin Fu was. They thought they should not show any flaws, but Xilin Fu soon found someone coming in.


    And responded in an orderly manner.


    Xilin Fu sat on the sofa downstairs, leaned back against the back of the chair, and slowly called Sheng Liang: "You are still very powerful. You found my hiding place so soon, but the people you sent seem a little stupid. You didn''t tell them that people like us will mark at the door. They don''t know to put the mark back when they enter the door, so they deserve to die."


    "Your current position has been exposed, so you''d better not touch them, or when you are surrounded by the police, you won''t even have a hostage." Sheng Liang said as he passed quickly.


    When hearing what Xilin Yue said, Sheng Liang knew that Xu Yi and Roger must have found Xilin Fu and were at Xilin Yue''s home. Although this was a little beyond his expectation, it was reasonable to say that Xilin Yue still had some admiration for his seventh uncle. When Xilin Fu shouted like a mouse across the street, he could still take him in, It can also be seen that Xilin Yue is a person who misses old love very much.


    What he didn''t expect most was that Xu Yi also learned to cheat him.


    Xilin Fu sneered when he heard what he said: "police? If you want to use them, you won''t let your people secretly check my position. If you want me to die, how can you let the police come?"


    Sheng Liang is noncommittal.


    And now, he has some regrets. He shouldn''t have given it to Xu Yi, let alone revealed to him his idea of solving Xilin Fu by himself. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be like this.


    The car drove into a corridor and stopped in front of a villa. The door was open. It was like I knew he would come.


    Sheng Liang went in and saw Xilin Fu sitting leisurely on the sofa tasting red wine: "where are they?"


    "Don''t worry, you shouldn''t be dead yet." Xilin Fu shook his glass, raised his chin and motioned Sheng Liang to sit down opposite him. "When was the last time we sat down and drank together?"


    Sheng Liang looked upstairs and didn''t hear any sound. He frowned: "I''m not here to catch up with you."


    "I know, but if you don''t want them to die, you''d better listen to me." Xilin Fu sneered, and the scar on his face was cold.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang still didn''t move, Xilin pressed the remote control again. On the large LCD screen behind him, there was a room with two people on the ground by the window.


    Sheng Liang naturally recognized that Xu Yi and Roger clenched their fists: "what''s the matter with them?"


    "My self-made poison gas seems to have a good effect. I fainted after a while." Xilin Fu said with a smile.


    Sheng Liang sat down opposite him with his legs folded: "come on, what do you want me to do?"


    It''s no use worrying now. Since Xilin Fu called him for the first time, there must be an exchange condition.


    "I''m afraid these two people don''t deserve that weight."


    "Say your terms!" Sheng Liang didn''t want to say more to this man.


    Xilin Fu shook his neck: "I want Qiao Xuan -"


    Sheng Liang''s eyes are cold, cold enough to kill people.


    "You won''t agree," Xilin said after finishing his words. "So there''s a compromise. You hold a press conference to help me clarify that your previous evidence and testimony in court framed me."


    Sheng Liang raised his eyes to see him. Unexpectedly, Xilin Fu would mention such conditions.


    If it was the previous xilinfu, it would not. He would only use more direct and faster methods, or more cruel methods.


    By doing so, he probably realized the evil consequences planted in the past, so he should change his mind.


    In that case, the man will be even more terrible.


    "That''s a police charge. Even if I clarify it, it''s useless." Sheng Liang said, thinking quickly about the way to deal with it.


    "Don''t worry about those things. You just need to clarify them to me in front of the public. Of course, if you think these two people are not worth your sacrifice, you can refuse. It''s easy for me to kill them anyway." Xilin Fu said deliberately.


    Sheng Liang looked at the big screen. After a while, they still had no reaction. If they were sprayed with poison gas, as Xilin Fu said, they must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.


    He had no time to hesitate.


    "I can promise you, but how do I know if they are still alive?" that''s the point.


    Xilin pressed the remote control again and cut to another picture. He said, "see, the carpet near their faces and the fluff are moving, which means they still breathe. However, if you keep talking like this, I don''t know if I will really die."


    Sheng Liang saw that they were still breathing.


    He nodded and said; "I promised. Call the reporter now. I''ll hold a press conference here, but the premise is that as soon as the reporter arrives, you must send them out."


    "That''s nature." he''s not afraid that Sheng Liang will repent. Now that he''s here, Xu Yi and Roger have no action power. Qiao Xuan in the hospital has no protection. If he dares to play tricks, he will take Qiao Xuan away immediately.


    Sheng Liang also thought of this layer, so Xilin Fu looked confident.


    Before long, all the mainstream media reporters in the city arrived. They were surprised to see Sheng Liang and Xilin Fu sitting together, and whispered one after another.


    "What''s the situation? How can Sheng Liang get back together with Xilin?"


    "I don''t know. Xilin Fu is still wanted. He''s a jailbreak."


    Someone took out his cell phone and planned to call the police, but Xilin Fu soon found it. He smiled and said, "I have a signal shielding system here. Before you leave here after listening to us, no information can be transmitted."

 Chapter 332

    Hearing Xilin Fu''s words, those people immediately dared not move. A murderer, who is not afraid.


    Besides, he''s a desperate murderer.


    Some people have regretted coming here. They all set their eyes on Sheng Liang. They don''t understand what he has to do with it.


    However, it''s not their fault. At the beginning, Xilin Fu''s case was complex, and there was no public trial. Sheng Liang attended as a witness and didn''t appear in the newspapers. Therefore, except for a few people who came to the court, people outside didn''t know the details.


    So in fact, these people are still pinning their hopes on Sheng Liang. After all, he is a rich family and will not associate with outlaws like Xilin Fu.


    "You all be quiet!" Xilin frowned and said coldly, then looked at Sheng Liang. "Chairman Sheng, don''t you have something to say to everyone?"


    His eyes were obviously threatening, and Sheng Liang was indeed threatened. He couldn''t see Xu Yi and Roger really die here.


    Besides, they came here because of him.


    Sheng Liang sat upright and said to the reporters, "please come today to let you witness. I hope you can truthfully report what I want to say next."


    He paused, and the reporters stared at him.


    Sheng Liang took a breath secretly, seemed to be ready, and said, "what I want to say is that all the accusations made by the police against Mr. Xilin Fu are not true. I forged the so-called evidence."


    As soon as he said this, the reporters immediately fried the pot, and there was a sound of discussion in the living room.


    "How is this possible? Have you been convicted of murder and drug trafficking?"


    "Shh, keep your voice down. You can''t see the situation clearly. Someone wants to overturn the case."


    "How can this happen? How can you make up charges for others!"


    "That is, can power and power cover the sky with one hand!"


    "Yes, yes!"


    Public opinion soon tended to Xilin Fu and began to condemn Sheng Liang.


    Xilin Fu didn''t look at the others. He just shook the wine glass and smiled at the corners of his mouth.


    Sheng Liang also understood that Xilin Fu had planned this for a long time. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.


    In other words, he designed all this.


    Although I don''t know how Xu Yi and Roger found him here, if Xilin Fuzhen wanted to hide his whereabouts, he wouldn''t be found so easily. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have let him slip through the hole unconsciously before.


    Obviously, he deliberately led Xu Yi and Roger here and became his bargaining chip in exchange.


    Xilin Fu had carefully planned to step on him to turn over, and his purpose was not just to bring him down.


    After a year, it seems that he has improved a lot.


    Or maybe he met someone inside and gave him advice.


    But now, it''s not important. He doesn''t want to take care of the foreseeable consequences. He turns his head and asks Xilin Fu, "is it OK? Can you take them to the hospital?"


    Xilin spread his hand again and said casually.


    Sheng Liang got up and went upstairs. He didn''t dare to stop at all.


    When he first came in, he didn''t want to break through, but that would not only delay time, but also can''t guarantee that Xilin Fu has other traps.


    His only purpose is to take them out safely, so he chose to negotiate. Xu Yi and Roger have no value for Xilin Fu, so he doesn''t worry that Xilin Fu will go back on his word.


    He went upstairs and saw the locked room at a glance. He took a few steps and kicked the door open.


    There was still a pungent smell in it, but it was obviously not so strong. Then he saw Xu Yi and Roger lying on the ground and the hole in the window.


    "Xu Yi, Roger!" he turned them over and found that their lips were blue and purple and their breathing was very weak. He hurriedly called the emergency call, carried them outside again, and unbuttoned their coats to let them breathe fresh air as much as possible.


    When he finished this, Xilin Fu also came up. He should have sent the reporters away.


    He leaned against the iron railing on one side, looked at Sheng Liang and said, "I taught you before that people like us should not have feelings and be ruthless, so that they can not be controlled by others. Now you come to this end because you forget all my words."


    Hearing that he was still holding the airs of an instructor, Sheng Liang gave him a cold look and said, "ruthless and unintentional? Are you going to deal with Xilin Yue when today''s affairs are over?"


    I have to say that Xilin Yue is really a rare simple minded person in Xilin family. He helps Xilin Fu just because Xilin Fu is his seventh uncle.


    But he certainly didn''t know how to arrange him in Xilin Fu''s chess game.


    Xilin Fu''s eyes were cold: "useless people, of course, have to give up. Do you think I will be the same as you?"


    Ignoring his sarcasm, Sheng Liang was still observing the situation of Xu Yi and Roger. Seeing that Roger''s body moved, he hurriedly shouted, "Roger, wake up!"


    Roger heard his voice and slowly opened his eyes: "cool less..."


    But only said these two words, he was dizzy and had no strength to say anything else.


    "Stay awake and don''t fall asleep again. The ambulance will arrive soon."


    Although Sheng Liang said so, Roger felt that his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn''t open them at all.


    Xu Yi coughed a few times and foamed at the corners of his mouth. Sheng Liang quickly wiped it off for him.


    "Chairman..." Xu Yi looks at Sheng Liang and feels very guilty. Sheng Liang must have known everything and even promised Xilin what conditions to reply. This is the result of his own opinion.


    "Don''t say anything, I know." Sheng Liang looked at him, silent for a while, and said, "now, you really don''t owe me anything."


    In the past, Xu Yi always felt that his mother had done something wrong, so he was always atoning for his mother. Sheng Liang couldn''t make him change his mind.


    But in the final analysis, Xu Yi was desperate because of him. He almost died.


    So Sheng Liang said that he didn''t owe him any more. He didn''t want Xu Yi to carry this burden all the time,


    Fortunately, the ambulance came soon and took them to the emergency room immediately.


    Xilinyue ran over as soon as he heard the news. Seeing Sheng Liang, he asked carefully, "I heard... What happened to your people in my house?"


    Sheng Liang turned to look at him. Although he knew it was not his fault, he still said, "yes, it''s in your house, in the room you prepared for Xilin Fu."


    "My seventh uncle..." Xilin Yue''s face flashed a touch of uneasiness, "what did he do?"

 Chapter 333

    "Just go back and have a look." Sheng Liang didn''t want to say anything more, but his expression was much colder than that in the morning.


    Xilin Yue knew it was wrong to take Xilin Fu, but he couldn''t bear to see that Xilin Fu had nowhere to go.


    Everyone knows that Xilin Fu is cruel and ruthless. Even the Xilin family, he has never been soft hearted.


    So after his accident, no one was willing to take care of him, even some gloating.


    But Xilin Yue alone cannot stand idly by.


    Before, Sheng Liang only thought that it was because of Xilin Yue''s character. He didn''t want to split Xilin''s industry, so he asked him to subscribe for Lanxi''s shares.


    But now it seems that this is not the case, at least not the whole reason.


    Xilin Yue lowered his head and said softly, "I know it''s no use for me to say more, but I still want to say sorry to you for him."


    Seeing Xilin Yue''s serious expression, Sheng Liang smiled sarcastically: "unexpectedly, Xilin Fu will have a nephew like you."


    Their personalities are really different.


    Xilin Yue looked at the light on the emergency room and thought that he should not come out so soon. He simply sat next to Sheng Liang: "in fact, I''m really not his nephew. I''m not from the Xilin family. I was adopted by the second miss of the Xilin family."


    This really surprised Sheng Liang. He had never heard of it before.


    To be exact, if Xilin didn''t come back and Xilin Yue took the initiative to find him, this person probably wouldn''t appear in the sight of outsiders.


    Those nephews of the Xilin family are arrogant and arrogant. They have entertainment news on the ground every day, but no one has heard of Xilin Yue''s name.


    He was so low-key that even paparazzi wouldn''t want to interview him.


    It turned out that he was the adopted son of the Xilin family.


    Moreover, the second Miss Xilin is said to have been unmarried all her life. Unexpectedly, she adopted a son.


    No wonder the Xilin family is going to keep quiet with them. It''s always disgraceful to say such a thing.


    "My mother was fine when she was there. Although she was not married, she was arrogant and not bullied, so no one in the family did anything to me. Especially after she gave me the surname Xilin and called those uncles uncles, they didn''t dare to say anything. But after my mother died, those uncles and brothers began to think of ways to drive me out of Xilin''s house." Xilin Yue smiled bitterly, "I don''t have to stay, nor do I want the power of Xilin family. I just don''t want my mother to feel cold under Jiuquan. How can I help her keep her reputation.


    I didn''t pay attention to anyone. I just went home from school every day. I didn''t hear what they said. Fortunately, my mother had foresight and left a will long ago. She transferred all her inheritance to my name, including all the equity in her hands. Therefore, although those people regarded me as a thorn in the eye, they secretly attracted me behind and checked and balanced each other, which also made me get it It was a temporary calm. However, all this was completely broken in the year when my seventh uncle came back. The Xilin family broke out an unprecedented battle for inheritance. Each family suffered heavy losses, and only I remained neutral. Later, the seventh uncle used some extraordinary means to get the inheritance right. He suppressed almost everyone in the Xilin family, but only showed mercy to me Since then, I have never mentioned equity to me, so I am very grateful to him. "


    Sheng Liang can''t tell him that Xilin Fu didn''t touch him because he was merciful, but because he had his own consideration, which is probably a way back for him.


    But these have nothing to do with Sheng Liang. He has no interest in other people''s family affairs.


    "It''s your business to protect him, but I will never let him go." Sheng Liang said the last sentence and stopped talking.


    Xilin Yue understands this truth, and he is not a man of right and wrong. He just can''t let Xilin Fu live or die.


    The two people didn''t talk anymore until Xu Yi and Roger were pushed out. Sheng Liang stood up. Xilin Yue immediately went to the emergency doctor and asked, "Dr. Zhao, how are they? Oh, they are my friends."


    "There is no danger to their lives. However, the amount of toxic gas they inhale is a little large. They may be for a while and a half, and their brains won''t be very clear."


    Sheng Liang frowns. He really doesn''t know how to explain to Qingqing.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang didn''t respond, Xilin Yue said to the doctor instead of him, "thank you, doctor Zhao."


    Xu Yi and Roger were sent to the ward. Sheng Liang also arranged someone to take care of them, but he didn''t dare to call Qingqing with his mobile phone.


    After hesitating for a while, he put away his mobile phone and slowly walked back to Qiao Xuan''s ward.


    After Sheng Liang went out, Qiao Xuan had been sleeping. She was much better now. When Sheng Liang went in, she saw Qiao Nan feeding her porridge, but Qiao Xuan was not used to it and always wanted to come by herself. He went over and said, "I''ll come."


    Qiao Nan consciously stepped aside: "brother-in-law, where did you go just now?"


    Sheng Liang sank for a while before saying, "I didn''t go anywhere. Just walk around."


    "Oh, you should go out and stay in the ward. It''s bad for your health." he looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "sister, when my brother-in-law comes back, I won''t be a light bulb here. Talk slowly. I''ll go back first."


    Before Qiaoxuan responded, Qiaonan had gone out. Qiaoxuan gently sighed: "I don''t know what''s wrong. I''m worried about it. I don''t tell him when I ask."


    Sheng Liang fed her the porridge, smiled and said, "don''t worry about it. He''s too old to be a child."


    "I know, but --" Qiao Xuan said half, saw Sheng Liang looking at her, just swallowed the second half of the sentence back, relaxed and said, "I know, I don''t care about him in the future."


    Sheng Liang packed up his things, held her hand and said, "I''m not letting you take care of it. After all, it''s your brother. I''m just... I''m not happy to see him in your eyes."


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t know how to react. Sheng Liang even eats Qiao Nan''s vinegar.


    However, since yesterday, Sheng Liang has been by her hospital bed almost all the time, and she hasn''t seen him eat.


    Qiao Xuan pinched his finger and said, "I''ve drunk such a big bowl of porridge. Go and eat something, or I''ll have a stomachache later."


    Sheng Liang was very happy to hear that she cared about him, but he really didn''t have any expression. He couldn''t see it at all. He just put her hand on his face, closed his eyes and said, "I''m not hungry, but I''m a little sleepy."


    I don''t know if it''s because Xu Yi also inhaled poison gas when he dragged them out. His head is a little dizzy. If it weren''t for the hospital bed, he would probably fall down directly.

 Chapter 334

    Seeing that he looked bad, Qiao Xuan touched his head and said, "then lie down and sleep for a while."


    Anyway, this ward is like a hotel room. The bed is big enough, and her knife edge is on her head. She has no problem moving her body.


    Maybe he fainted badly. Sheng Liang didn''t refuse. He turned over to bed and hugged Qiao Xuan.


    However, he held his breath, and his physical quality was good. After a sleep, those discomfort disappeared.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Xuan looking at him. He frowned and asked in a dry voice, "how long have I slept? Have you been looking at me like this?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "no, I just woke up. You only slept for two hours. Are you still sleepy?"


    "Much better." Sheng liang thought of Xu Yi and them and immediately sat up. "Lie down for a while and I''ll go out."


    "Well." Qiao Xuan knew he was busy and didn''t say much, "remember to eat."


    Sheng Liang answered and went out of the ward. Before going to Xu Yi''s ward, he asked the nurse named Liu Yan to go in and take care of Qiao Xuan.


    Liu Yan naturally knows Sheng Liang''s identity and his relationship with Qiao Xuan, so she has always tried her best.


    But this time, after agreeing with a smile, when Sheng Liang walked away, he turned to the nurse who was taking notes and whispered, "did you see the news? Originally, that Xilin Fu was wronged, and he was wronged by Sheng Liang. He spent a year in prison for nothing!"


    "Can you believe those things? We ordinary people shouldn''t worry about their gratitude and resentment in the upper class. If people live here and don''t pay less, we have to take good care of them. Don''t worry about anything else," the nurse advised.


    "What can I do? I can''t marry into a rich family, but," Liu Yan turned her eyes and put her hand in Qiao Xuan''s ward. "I can''t do my work in vain."


    She whispered the latter sentence to herself, but the nurse didn''t hear it.


    Liu Yan knocked on the door, entered Qiao Xuan''s ward, went over to see the equipment at the head of the bed, and recorded the ward round time in a small book. It seemed that she inadvertently asked Qiao Xuan, "has Mr. Sheng of your family dealt with the company or been busy with public relations?"


    Qiao Xuan could understand the front sentence, but she didn''t understand the back sentence. Unconsciously, she asked, "what are you talking about?"


    "Hmm? Don''t you know that Mr. Sheng admitted in front of all the media reporters that he framed Xilin Fu. At the moment, the police should be looking for him."


    Qiao Xuan''s brain suddenly buzzed, and his face turned white: "it''s impossible!"


    How can Sheng Liang admit these false things? Now she has come back, and her parents are watching. He shouldn''t have any threat. How can he help Xilin Fu clarify these things?


    Liu Yan laughed sarcastically, "it''s all on the news. What''s impossible, Miss Qiao? I hate gossip most. If there''s no truth, I won''t talk nonsense."


    Qiao Xuan helped her head and felt a stream of blood rushing up. She whispered, "can you help me find him? He shouldn''t have gone far."


    Liu Yan turned around and stretched out a hand to Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, I''m at work now. I can''t do my private work in vain."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t expect to meet such a person in the hospital. She touched her mobile phone under her pillow and said, "I don''t need you anymore. Please go out."


    "Cut!" Liu Yan snorted and rolled her eyes. "I''m so stingy and want to marry a rich family!"


    Qiao Xuan ignored her and immediately called Sheng liang when she found her cell phone: "where are you? I have something to ask you. Come back now."


    When Qiao Xuan said this, she was already dizzy and threw her head straight into the bed.


    Liu Yan still stood by the door and couldn''t move when she saw Qiao Xuan lying on the bed. She walked over and pushed Qiao Xuan. Seeing that Qiao Xuan didn''t respond, she searched in her locker. As a result, there was nothing in it except a few clothes.


    Liu Yan spat bitterly: "I''m really poor. It''s a waste of my time."


    She threw Qiao Xuan''s clothes back fiercely. Just listening to the Ding, something rolled out. It turned out to be a ring or a diamond. Liu Yan''s eyes immediately showed a look of ecstasy. She quickly grasped the ring, stood up and walked out.


    She went to the door and just Sheng Liang opened the door. She was surprised, but soon returned to normal. She held the door with one hand and carried the other behind her. She also said hello to Sheng Liang before closing the door and going out.


    Sheng Liang saw Qiao Xuan lying on the bed and gently turned her over: "what happened, what''s the matter with you?"


    It''s only been a while. Why does she look so bad again.


    When Qiao Xuan saw him, she insisted and asked, "is what the news says true?"


    Sheng Liang was stunned. He didn''t expect Qiao Xuan to know so soon. It seems that it was what the nurse said just now.


    He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "well."


    "What does Xilin threaten you?"


    "Xu Yi and Roger." Sheng Liang didn''t hide any more. He thought Qiao Xuan could understand what he did.


    When Qiao Xuan heard this, she didn''t say anything. She just asked Sheng Liang, "what are you going to do next? The police will find you soon."


    Sheng Liang holds Qiao Xuan''s hand and pretends to smile easily: "I haven''t done it again. Don''t worry. The police also talk about evidence. They don''t listen to anyone."


    That''s right, but they haven''t experienced Xilin Fu''s means. That man can really do anything.


    "Xilin Fu''s purpose this time is probably to get Lanxi back. He borrowed my confession and spent some money to get the chance of bail. The next step is to clean up the Xilin family, so it won''t disturb us for the time being." Sheng Liang hugged Qiao Xuan and said, "don''t worry, I will never give him another chance to hurt the people around us."


    Qiao Xuan immediately grabbed his hand: "and yourself."


    Sheng Liang nodded, "well, I know."


    "How are Xu Yi and Roger?"


    "I just went to see them. It''s all right." Sheng Liang looked away and thought that Xilin Fu had hurt the people around him for so long, especially Qiao Xuan and the children. He felt that he was really useless.


    Close so close, Qiao Xuan seems to have guessed his idea at once. She took his arm and put her head on his shoulder: "Sheng Liang, you don''t have to be under too much pressure. It has nothing to do with you. Xilin Fu is too mean. Sooner or later, he will be punished."


    "Well." Sheng Liang took her shoulder, and the two sat side by side. No one spoke again, and everything was silent.

 Chapter 335

    Qiao Xuan stayed in the hospital for a week. The knife edge removed the thread. Sheng Liang took her home. Although there were doctors and nurses in the hospital, it was not as comfortable as living at home.


    Qiao Xuan naturally wants to go back. She is in the hospital. Sheng Liang also stays here. She can''t eat well or sleep well. She feels distressed when she sees it.


    Most importantly, she can''t wait to go back to see the child. She hasn''t seen him since she was born. She hasn''t even seen what he looks like.


    Joe''s mother slowly put the child into her arms. She was careful as if she was afraid of breaking some baby: "slow down, slow down, hold his head in that hand."


    Joe''s father joked aside: "it''s not her first day as a mother. It''s like she won''t hold a child."


    Joe''s mother gave him a white look: "I want you to take care of it!"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t pay attention to her parents'' words at all. Her eyes were on her children for only more than a month. His eyebrows and eyes were so deep. Before, Xilin Yue said that the child looked like her. She thought it was true. Now, Qingqing said it was right. This small shape was almost carved out of a mold of Sheng Liang.


    "Let me hold it," said Sheng Liang.


    Qiao Xuan gave him the child and looked at Sheng Liang''s actions. She was more careful than Qiao''s mother just now. It should be said that she was a little clumsy.


    Sheng Liang didn''t know what he felt in his heart. Such a small, soft ball still couldn''t hold it in his arms.


    The Lilliputian''s body smelled of sweet milk powder, which filled his nose and made him want to kiss him.


    And he did, lowered his head and kissed the little man on the forehead.


    In his memory, he had a bad relationship with Sheng Tianhao. He was always in awe of the word father. He didn''t even know what kind of family affection was and how blood was thicker than water.


    At this moment, he understood everything. The child''s body shed the blood of him and Qiao Xuan. He is their closest person in the world.


    However, the little man didn''t appreciate it. As soon as he kissed, the little man began to cry.


    Sheng Liang, who has always been calm, panicked and looked at the little man crying in his arms with a confused expression.


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly took the child and said as if comforting Sheng Liang: "he''s probably hungry. I''ll feed him."


    Joe''s mother also said hurriedly, "it''s okay. It''s okay for children to cry twice to exercise their vital capacity."


    "HMM." Sheng Liang''s uneasiness didn''t dissipate. He just didn''t want to embarrass them, so he pretended to be relaxed.


    As expected, Xilin Fuguo was removed from the wanted notice, but he couldn''t leave mulberry city for the time being.


    The brothers of the Xilin family who had been jumping up and down before, after Xilin Fu broke the third son''s leg, they were all honest now. After being wildly cashed out by these people, the fast falling stocks finally rebounded.


    "Liang Shao, do you think that Xilin Fu''s behavior this time is different from that before, like opening the plug-in." Roger leaned against Sheng Liang''s desk and touched his chin.


    Although he wanted to take Qiao Xuan away from the child''s full moon wine before, it looked like his style, but that time, he did make sufficient preparations. If Qiao Xuan didn''t cooperate with Sheng Liang so tacitly, he would have succeeded.


    Sheng Liang frowned slightly. He thought it was his illusion. Now Roger said so, it must be true.


    "Go and find out if Xilin Fu was close to any prisoner when he was in prison, or if there were any released prisoners before and after he escaped from prison."


    Roger followed Sheng Liang all year round and always guessed his mind very accurately, so when Sheng Liang said this, he immediately understood what he meant: "I''ll go now."


    "Wait a minute," Sheng Liang''s expression was suddenly embarrassed. When he saw Roger looking back at him, he seemed to be waiting for him. He hesitated and asked, "you... Cough, are you holding the child at home?"


    Roger couldn''t keep up with his thinking for a moment. After reacting for a while, he understood and said with a smile, "of course, my daughter, you don''t want me. As soon as you see me, you climb up to me and hold up your little hand for me to hold her. Hey, no matter how tired, I really feel comfortable as soon as I see my daughter''s small face, especially when she vaguely calls my father."


    "Oh." Sheng Liang lowered his head and sighed deeply. It seems that he really doesn''t like him every year.


    Roger looked depressed on his face and couldn''t help asking, "what''s the matter? Your son won''t let you hold him?"


    "Why are you talking so much today?" Sheng Liang glared at him.


    Roger puffed and laughed. Although he said that he was Sheng Liang''s little attendant, Sheng Liang never treated him badly for so many years around him. The two people were more like brothers, so sometimes Roger would poke Sheng Liang''s pain, and Sheng Liang didn''t really get angry.


    "Liang Shao, in fact, it''s normal for your son not to let you hold him. His son and his father are not so close," he explained hurriedly when he saw Sheng Liang staring over. "I mean greasy and crooked. As the saying goes, the daughter is the little lover of my father''s previous life. Isn''t that son the lover of my mother''s previous life? You two are love enemies. It''s strange that he can kiss you."


    Sheng Liang has no experience in this field. He actually thinks what Roger said is reasonable. Think about it, since Qiao Xuan left the hospital, he has been taking care of the children most of the time. Seeing him, he just asks casually. Sometimes he doesn''t even lift his head. Now all the topics between them are around the children. He just feels left out.


    "Cool little, is there anything else? It''s all right. I''m out?" Roger looked at him with his head tilted. He nodded and walked out with a suppressed smile.


    This must be the funniest thing he''s ever seen this year. Sheng Liang actually made himself crazy because of a little child.


    Sheng Liang has received Qiao Xuan from Qiao''s family to his villa. He is grateful to Qiao''s parents for their understanding. After all, up to now, the child''s full moon wine has been handled, but neither he nor Qiao Xuan has obtained the certificate.


    Sheng Liang came home and saw that Qiao Xuan was looking for something everywhere. He asked, "what are you looking for?"


    Qiao Xuan was too focused just now and didn''t notice Sheng Liang''s footsteps. When he spoke suddenly, she panicked and wanted to stand up. Unexpectedly, she bumped into the table and hissed with pain.


    Sheng Liang hurriedly walked over, squatted down, held her head in one hand, rubbed the red place in the other hand, and asked softly, "does it hurt?"


    The pain was certain, but Qiao Xuan didn''t want to say it. She just thought of what happened just now. She nodded and said, "it hurts."


    Sheng Liang sighed, stood up and said, "I''ll get the medicinal wine and rub it for you."


    "HMM." Qiao Xuan looked at his back and closed the open drawer secretly.

 Chapter 336

    Sheng Liang brought the medicinal wine, took Qiao Xuan and sat on the sofa. He rubbed her very gently. By the way, he also checked the previous knife edge. It healed well, but left a pink scar.


    "Why did you come back so early today?" Qiao Xuan asked with some guilt.


    "Xiao Si is like taking the wrong medicine recently. He works overtime in the company every day and takes my work to do. I''m just relaxed." Sheng Liang looks down into her eyes and asks Leng Buding, "what were you looking for just now?"


    "Hmm?" Qiao Xuan dodged in her eyes. "The long-life lock my mother bought for years can''t be found. I don''t remember where to put it. My memory is getting worse and worse."


    "I''ll help you find it later."


    Qiao Xuan immediately said, "no, it must have fallen somewhere. She will run out in a few days."


    Looking at Sheng Liang, she had some doubts in her eyes. She pulled down his hand and said, "well, I don''t hurt anymore. You''re hungry. You''re sleeping at the right time. I''ll make you something to eat."


    "HMM." Sheng Liang loosened his hand and watched her go to the kitchen. His eyes fell on the cabinet she had just searched.


    Afraid that the child would wake up at any time, Qiao Xuan didn''t do anything too troublesome. She just cooked a bowl of noodles and put green vegetables and beef. It smells good.


    Sheng Liang saw that there was only his share and asked, "don''t you eat?"


    "I''ve just eaten. Now I''m used to eating when I''m hungry." Qiao Xuan sat aside and looked at him, but she was obviously absent-minded.


    "Otherwise, I''ll find an aunt to cook. It''s too hard for you to take care of the children and cook again." Sheng Liang looked up and saw Qiao Xuan''s eyes. He didn''t know where he was looking, "gorgeous son?"


    Qiao Xuan hurriedly replied: "Oh, no, I know you''re not used to outsiders. I can be alone."


    "What are you thinking?" Sheng Liang frowned when he saw her avoiding his sight. "Is there something uncomfortable?"


    In fact, seeing his expression just now, Qiao Xuan thought he was doubting something. Unexpectedly, he was just worried about her body.


    She felt a little guilty, sighed and said, "actually... I lied to you just now. I didn''t lose the age-old long-life lock, but the diamond ring you gave me before can''t be found. I''m afraid you''re angry, so..."


    Sheng Liang sighed and then smiled: "how can I be angry because of such a small thing and lose it? When I''m free, I''ll take you to buy it."


    Qiao Xuan lowered her head and pinched her fingernails. The corners of her mouth seemed disappointed.


    Seeing her like this, Sheng Liang suddenly realized the problem and said, "where did you lose it? I''ll help you find it."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t love the ring. She was nervous because it was the wedding ring he gave her, but he blurted out that she would lose it if she lost it. She must be very disappointed.


    "It doesn''t matter. I''ll find it myself. You''ve been tired all day. Take a bath and rest early." Qiao Xuan''s tone was obviously a little alienated and powerless.


    In fact, she knew Sheng Liang was unintentional, but she didn''t know what was going on in her heart. Suddenly she felt very sad.


    But she didn''t want to infect Sheng Liang with this emotion, so after saying that, seeing that he was still stunned, she went to him, hugged him, smiled and said, "you''re obedient, take a bath, and I''ll see the years."


    Sheng Liang wanted to say something, but Qiao Xuan had loosened her hand and went upstairs. He stood where he was, a little disappointed.


    Qiao Xuan opened the door and walked into the nursery. She saw that Nian was still asleep, her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes spread on her eyelids, leaving a shadow.


    It''s been a few days since she came back from the hospital. According to reason, she and Sheng Liang have been separated for a year. Now they are finally reunited, and her illness is better. They should be very sweet, but the fact is that they often care about each other. Even if they care about each other, there is no deep feeling in their eyes.


    What the hell happened to them?


    Can it be said that in the year of separation, they all have their own experiences, and they can no longer trust and rely on each other as before?


    Qiao gorgeous was thinking. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head and saw Sheng Liang standing behind her: "how do you --"


    Before she finished asking, she was blocked by his kiss. At first, she opened her eyes to see him. Seeing the cold and arrogant on his face, she seemed at a loss. She was somewhat surprised, because she had never seen such an expression as Sheng Liang.


    But his kiss became more and more intense, which made her dizzy, so she couldn''t tell the spirit to see him again, only cooperation.


    Her hand slowly wrapped around his waist, pressed against his strong chest, and even heard his powerful heartbeat at this time.


    His heart beats so fast.


    After a while, Sheng Liang let go of her. She was still panting slightly. She looked down at Qiao Xuan with a slightly untrue voice: "xuan''er, I''m sorry, I said the wrong thing just now, I''m not..."


    He wanted to say that he didn''t care about the ring. He just didn''t want Qiao Xuan to have any psychological burden.


    Qiao Xuan pressed her fingers on his lips and whispered: "I know, you don''t have to explain, Sheng Liang. Maybe I don''t know you enough. Maybe you have your own secrets, but I know that you have no reservations about me and your children. I didn''t doubt you. I was wrong about what happened just now. Maybe I suffered too much. Happiness came too suddenly. I was a little afraid."


    Sheng Liang gently hugged her: "not in the future."


    Qiao Xuan may really don''t know why she is so cold, but Sheng Liang knows why he is like this. These days, he is actually eating his son''s vinegar.


    They were holding each other. Year after year, they suddenly cried with a wow, and didn''t stop at all.


    Qiao Xuan got out of Sheng Liang''s arms, picked up Sui Sui and coaxed, "Sui Sui is good, daddy and Mommy are here, don''t cry."


    "Did he feel that I was here, so he cried?" Sheng Liang looked embarrassed.


    Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "how is it possible that he can''t see things clearly now, and he can''t recognize anyone."


    "Let me hold it." before he came back, he went to the mother and baby hall to learn how to hold such a small baby.


    Qiao Xuan was really surprised to see his posture. When he was at Qiao''s house before, his movements still looked so clumsy. Now it seems that he is very experienced.


    Seeing that Nian is still crying, Sheng Liang checks whether he has urine, and then asks Qiao Xuan to make milk powder.


    "How do you feel? It seems that you will take care of the child all at once?" Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang holding the child in one hand and feeding the baby in the other, and was so surprised that her mouth couldn''t close.


    However, if people in the company saw this super daddy''s posture, I don''t know how they would feel.

 Chapter 337

    Let Sui Sui drink milk, he fell asleep again. Sheng Liang looked around for a while, looked back at Qiao Xuan standing next to him, took her hand and said, "should we sleep, too?"


    Looking at the desire in his eyes, Qiao Xuan immediately realized that what he said about sleep was not just a literal meaning.


    But speaking of it, they haven''t been together for so long. It''s hard for him to bear it until now.


    "I''ll take a bath first." although there was no such shyness between them, Qiao Xuan blushed.


    Seeing her passing by, Sheng Liang suddenly stopped and picked her up. His voice was low and sexy: "wash together."


    "Hmm?" Qiao Xuan was stunned. "Didn''t you wash it just now?"


    "I want to wash with you." the burning heat in Sheng Liang''s eyebrows and eyes is no longer hidden.


    So, she thought there was something wrong. She didn''t find it just now. His hair wasn''t wet at all. He didn''t wash it at all. He had premeditated!


    Qiao Xuan thought that the words he just said might be prepared lines. She was actually moved. She was a little annoyed and struggled to say, "put me down!"


    "Don''t let go."


    "You are really..." Qiao Xuan wanted to say some abusive words, but she couldn''t bear to hear it. She couldn''t say it again. Finally, she insisted, "hooligan!"


    Sheng Liang smiled wantonly: "I only treat you as a hooligan."


    As he spoke, he lowered his head and sucked on her neck. Qiao Xuan immediately became soft and the whole person collapsed in his arms.


    In her lifetime, she will really drown in his tenderness.


    Heyday.


    Sheng Qianzheng looked down at the document. It was so dense that he had a splitting headache. When he heard someone knocking at the door, he said without looking up: "come in."


    A heel of high-heeled shoes came in rhythmically, accompanied by a strong smell of perfume.


    Sheng Qian severely screwed his eyebrows: "did I not say that when you go to work, you must not wear more than ten centimeters of high-heeled shoes, and you should not use such strong perfume, you should be me."


    He looked up as he spoke. He thought it was the secretary who was dying again. When he looked up, he saw that it was Zhao Xiaowei. His words stopped at once, and then said impatiently, "what are you doing here? Get out!"


    "Mr. Sheng, are you so afraid to see me?" Zhao Xiaowei''s eyes had a joking smile, and her fine makeup set off the smile, making her more proud.


    This woman is sick. She scolded and humiliated, so she had to do it. But why is she still like a dog''s plaster? She can''t get rid of it if she sticks it!


    "What do I have to be afraid of, Zhao Xiaowei? If you''re not watching, you''re the signing artist of feilengcui. I''ll let someone throw you out now!" Sheng Qian saw her, his head hurt more and rubbed his forehead.


    Zhao Xiaowei seemed frightened or angry. Without saying a word, he just stood there and looked straight at Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Qian''s head hurt more when she saw it. It was about to explode. He stood up and walked out: "you''re cruel. You love to stay here. Just stay here."


    Zhao Xiaowei suddenly grabbed him: "Sheng Qian, are you --"


    As soon as Sheng Qiangang was grabbed by her, he immediately opened it, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Xiaowei, what are you doing!"


    Zhao Xiaowei wanted to grab his hand again, but he dodged. Zhao Xiaowei sighed and asked, "are you dizzy?"


    Sheng Qian didn''t understand why she asked, but when she said this, he remembered that he seemed a little dizzy since the morning.


    "What does it have to do with you?" Sheng Qian said coldly and continued to go out.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t pull him anymore, but he still followed him and asked, "are you cold?"


    Sheng Qian has been outside. The employees look up at them one by one. Sheng Qian feels like he has been greatly humiliated. He suddenly turns around and presses Zhao Xiaowei against the glass wall next to him: "Zhao Xiaowei, I warn you, if you dare to come to my office privately again, I will let the company terminate the contract with you, and then block you in the whole industry. I do what I say!"


    He stood up straight and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaowei hooked his neck directly this time. He was so angry that he shouted, "you --"


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t do what he imagined, but put the back of his hand on his forehead, frowned and said, "you really have a fever."


    "..." Sheng Qian pushed her away, "crazy!"


    "Whatever you say, Sheng Qian, you have to see a doctor." Zhao Xiaowei followed up again.


    When they passed the staff''s table, they immediately lowered their heads, pretended to be busy with their work, and then secretly looked up at them.


    Sheng Qian entered the elevator and saw Zhao Xiaowei come with him, but the elevator door was closed at that time. Sheng Qian saw Zhao Xiaowei''s hand stretched out. He hurriedly pressed the button and opened the door again, but his mouth still roared: "Zhao Xiaowei, don''t you have eyes, don''t you want your hand!"


    Zhao Xiaowei smiled and walked in without moving, waiting for Sheng Qian to press the ground floor.


    Because of the fever, Sheng Qian''s face was very red, and he roared too loudly just now. He was panting and his chest fluctuated violently.


    Those long and narrow eyes used to be cunning and evil. Now, even if he tried to stare at Zhao Xiaowei, he didn''t have any lethality.


    "I heard them say that you have been working overtime recently. You have to be busy until 3 or 4 a.m. every day. Your body is not made of iron. It''s strange if you don''t get sick." at last, Zhao Xiaowei sucked her nose and even her voice changed.


    "Who told you?" the woman actually inserted her eye liner in the company.


    "I also know that your previous scandals are false, and you have never had a relationship with those women." Zhao Xiaowei''s voice gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face.


    Sheng Qian was furious: "you find someone to investigate me!"


    "Yes, Sheng Qian, I just like you. I like you for so many years. I don''t believe you don''t know, and I don''t believe you have no feelings for me!" otherwise, he wouldn''t be so nervous when he saw that her hand was almost clamped just now.


    "Psycho!" Sheng Qian scolded again. The woman must have gone into the paste. "If I want to like Qiao Xuan, how can I like you!"


    Zhao Xiaowei sank in his heart, lowered his head and said, "I know, but don''t you still restrain yourself? You won''t rob women with your third brother."


    As if she knew him better, who did she think she was.


    Sheng Qian''s head hurts more. He is top heavy. Now he is convinced that he really has a fever, otherwise he won''t let this crazy woman talk so much nonsense to him here!


    The elevator door opened, Sheng Qian pushed it open, and Zhao Xiaowei went out. His steps were unstable and almost tripped over the track. Zhao Xiaowei hurried to help him, but he pushed it away like a conditioned reflex: "get out!"

 Chapter 338

    Zhao Xiaowei seemed to have expected that he would be like this. He was not angry at all. He still followed step by step.


    Sheng Qian turned back to look at her and shouted again, "you''ll learn this after disappearing for two months, right? How thick skinned!"


    "Do you care so much that I can''t disappear?" Zhao Xiaowei automatically ignored his other two words, only heard this sentence, and his eyes began to shine, so he left as soon as he saw her on the year-old full moon wine. Was he angry?


    Sheng Qian was a little angry. He snorted and ignored her. He took the car key, pressed it, and stretched out his hand to open the door.


    But before he sat on it, Zhao Xiaowei rushed over, grabbed him with one hand and opened the back door with the other. Before he reacted, he suddenly pushed him in and took the car key from his hand: "I''ll drive."


    If at ordinary times, Zhao Xiaowei must not be able to push him, but Sheng Qian was so weak that he was pushed forward at once. He fell on the back seat and didn''t get up for a long time. He closed his eyes, put his arm on his forehead and said weakly, "Zhao Xiaowei, this is kidnapping."


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at him, stepped on the accelerator and drove out. Kidnap and kidnap. Anyway, in his heart, she didn''t have a good impression.


    There was a hot wind in the car, but Sheng Qian still felt cold all over, but the most deadly thing was, what should he do with the woman in front?


    Zhao Xiaowei drove the car to Sheng Qian''s house. When he helped him upstairs, he felt that his clothes were soaked, and he was almost unconscious. The weight of the whole body was all on her.


    He managed to get him into the room, hold him and lie down on the bed. When he reached out to unbutton his shirt, Sheng Qian grabbed his wrist.


    His hand was burning like a fire. It spread from his skin to Zhao Xiaowei''s heart. Her heart suddenly hurt.


    "What are you doing?" Sheng Qian felt that he had used a lot of strength, but in fact, he was just holding it at ordinary times.


    "Your clothes are wet. I''ll take them off and change them into clean ones, otherwise they will be more uncomfortable." she blocked his hand and continued her movement.


    When did this woman have such courage? She didn''t dare to do so before. Now she even went into the house and took off his clothes.


    But he didn''t have the strength to push her away at all. Just lying like this, he felt very tired and could sleep in the blink of an eye.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t have any extra action. He soon took off his sweat soaked clothes and put on clean household clothes.


    "Do you have the family doctor''s number on your mobile phone? I''ll call him." Zhao Xiaowei asked gently.


    "Don''t mind your own business. Just go and I''ll sleep for a while." Sheng Qian turned his back to Zhao Xiaowei.


    Zhao Xiaowei made up her mind and would not go this time anyway. She scolded as much as he wanted, and she didn''t hear it.


    She looked in the next drawer and found that he didn''t have any standing medicine at home. This guy really didn''t cherish himself at all.


    Zhao Xiaowei pulled a quilt over him and said softly, "go to sleep first and I''ll buy you medicine."


    Sheng Qian didn''t respond. He had already fallen asleep.


    Zhao Xiaowei drove to the drugstore at the foot of the mountain and bought a pile of medicine. When she saw Sheng Qian still sleeping and a layer of sweat on her forehead, she took a towel to wipe him, and then gently called him and said, "Sheng Qian, get up and take the medicine."


    Sheng Qian vaguely opened his eyes, saw her and muttered, "Why are you still here?"


    Listening to the dislike in his tone, Zhao Xiaowei was more or less uncomfortable, but he poured a glass of water and said, "I won''t go until you get well."


    The woman didn''t want to be ashamed. Sheng Qianqiang sat up, took the medicine from her hand, swallowed it, and said, "well, you can go now."


    Zhao Xiaowei still didn''t move, and sat down beside his bed. Seeing that he was angry again, he asked first, "Why are you so afraid of me? You weren''t like this before."


    At that time, although he occasionally teased her, he was not as naughty as he is now. Zhao Xiaowei always felt that he began to hide from her after they graduated.


    Hearing her question, Sheng Qian''s face changed. He lay back and said, "don''t be amorous. It''s all my business. It has nothing to do with you. Whether you go or not, I --"


    Sheng Qian wanted to say she wouldn''t go, but he suddenly sat up and felt dizzy and crooked on the bed.


    Zhao Xiaowei panicked and stretched out his hand to help him, but soon took back his hand, looked at him panting and said, "anyway, you don''t have the strength to do anything now. Just sleep well. I''ll cook some porridge for you."


    This is his home. The woman doesn''t treat herself as an outsider. Sheng Qian gasps for breath, but Zhao Xiaowei is right. He can''t do anything now.


    Sheng Qian doesn''t know how he fell asleep. He has been trapped in a dream. It seems that he can''t wake up.


    When Zhao Xiaowei went up to see him, he had slept for several hours. He called him a few times and didn''t respond. Zhao Xiaowei was inexplicably a little flustered. He subconsciously explored his breath. After feeling that his breathing was normal, he secretly laughed at his nervousness.


    However, seeing that his clothes were wet again, she changed them for him and wiped the sweat off his lower body.


    Her movements were very light. Sheng Qian didn''t wake up at all. Only when she took off his clothes, she probably felt cold. She didn''t know what to mumble, and then fell asleep again.


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at him sleeping. He didn''t know who he was playing tricks on in his dream. He looked cunning of a little fox.


    He smiled when he looked at her. He really hasn''t changed at all.


    When Sheng Qian woke up, it was already dawn. He looked at the light outside and his mind was still confused.


    "Are you awake?" Zhao Xiaowei came over and looked at his suddenly wide eyes and felt funny. "Am I so terrible, like seeing a ghost."


    Sheng Qian felt that he had slept for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaowei was still there: "why haven''t you left yet!"


    "I said, I''ll go when you''re well."


    "I don''t need you to take care of me!" Sheng Qian said, looking down at his clothes. He remembered that when he was sober before, it seemed that he didn''t change this one. Could it be that the woman secretly changed his clothes again!


    What a shame!


    Seeing him turn over and get out of bed, Zhao Xiaowei asked, "where are you going?"


    "Looking for a woman!" Sheng Qian said angrily.

 Chapter 339

    "Sheng Qian, stop!" Zhao Xiaowei suddenly shouted.


    "Are you finished -" Sheng Qian, who had already reached the door, turned around and was about to roar, but when he saw the picture in front of him, he immediately shut his mouth.


    Zhao Xiaowei actually stripped himself and stood there naked!


    Sheng Qian resisted the urge to spit blood, walked back a few steps, picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on her: "what''s your nerve? Put your clothes on!"


    Who knows, Zhao Xiaowei didn''t get his clothes. Instead, he put his arms around his neck and kissed him on tiptoe.


    Sheng Qian frowned and wanted to push her away, but as soon as he bowed his head, he saw that Zhao Xiaowei''s eyes were red, his fingers closed tightly, and there was no action in the end.


    But Zhao Xiaowei still knew how to be measured. Even if he was reluctant to give up, he still loosened him, smiled bitterly and said, "I''m sorry, I didn''t control it for a moment. Don''t worry, there won''t be another time. I --"


    Before her words were finished, Sheng Qian suddenly raised her chin. She was unconsciously stunned: "you..."


    Sheng Qian seemed to be still trapped in the kiss just now, and there was still some unfinished meaning, so when she separated from him, she almost subconsciously broke off her chin and continued the kiss.


    For so many years, this is the first time Sheng Qian has kissed her so actively, or should I say, this is something she can''t even think of, because he has never been so close to her before, let alone kiss her.


    After a while, Sheng Qian let go of her, looked at her and said, "you begged me. Don''t say I bullied you in the future."


    Seeing that he didn''t go out again, he turned and sat on the bed. Zhao Xiaowei''s heart just accelerated still didn''t stop and stood there staring at him.


    Sheng Qian raised his eyes, frowned and said, "put on your clothes and go get me something to eat. I''m hungry."


    Zhao Xiaowei just regained his mind, hurriedly put on his clothes, blushed and said, "Oh."


    Sheng Qian looked at her back as she opened the door and went out. His eyebrows were tangled. He took one side of his mobile phone, found a number and called: "gold, are you free at night? Let''s drink together."


    They readily agreed.


    Zhao Xiaowei brought up the porridge, handed it to him and said, "I''ve just been hot. It may be a little hot. You drink it slowly."


    "I''m not a three-year-old." Sheng Qian took a sip, but sure enough, he was scalded, but he just swallowed it and pretended that nothing had happened.


    No matter what, you can''t lose face in front of this woman.


    After a few mouthfuls, Zhao Xiaowei wanted to give him another Sheng, but Sheng Qian pulled her: "No."


    But he soon realized that his actions would make her misunderstand, so he quickly let go: "I don''t drink, it''s all bitter."


    Because of taking medicine, his mouth was full of the bitter taste of medicine. Even if he drank porridge, he couldn''t get rid of it at all. Therefore, since childhood, he was most tired of drinking medicine.


    As if she had known for a long time, Zhao Xiaowei took a lollipop from her pocket and gave it to him: "here you are."


    "You really treat me as a three-year-old." Sheng Qian was a little unhappy, but he took the lollipop and put it in his mouth.


    After a while, he felt better. Seeing Zhao Xiaowei still stunned here, he said, "I''m going out to drink later. Go home. You''re a public figure. Don''t hang out."


    "You''re not well yet. What wine to drink." Zhao Xiaowei advised, "don''t go. Just stay at home. I''ll cook delicious food for you."


    When Zhao Xiaowei said the latter sentence, his face smiled, his tone was gentle and spoiled, and Sheng Qian was unconsciously stunned. How long has it been since he was held in the palm of his hand.


    But he quickly reacted, pulled his face and said, "don''t worry, you go home."


    He then fell back on the bed, turned his back to her and closed his eyes. "I''ll sleep a little longer and help me close the door when I leave."


    Zhao Xiaowei sighed and slowly turned around. Although he still didn''t want her to stay, today, Zhao Xiaowei still felt very happy. Moreover, she saw from his eyes that Sheng Qian didn''t feel for her. He had something to hide.


    Night, Smurf bar.


    Sheng Qian sat in a high chair and didn''t speak. He just drank with his head down. Liu Jin next to him asked, "what''s the matter, Xiao Si, I''m in a bad mood. I drink so much wine."


    "Gold, I ask you, do you still remember to publicize?" Sheng Qian''s glass was still on his lips and asked in a low voice.


    "Publicity?" Liu Jin thought for a moment and asked, "did you say the one wearing glasses in my lower bunk in high school?"


    Sheng Qian nodded.


    "Didn''t he die in a car accident? Why did you suddenly think of asking him?" Liu Jin intuition that Sheng Qian is a little different today.


    Sheng Qian said, "leave it alone. Just tell me, do you know where his home is, or do you know where he is buried?"


    Liu Jin saw that he looked serious, not joking. He thought carefully and said, "I don''t know, but I can help you ask my girlfriend. My girlfriend has some relatives with their family."


    "Ask now," Sheng Qian urged, "call your girlfriend."


    Liu Jin didn''t expect him to be so worried. He ran out and called his girlfriend.


    Sheng Qian still sat there drinking, but from noon until now, he drank a bowl of porridge. He just drank so much wine, and now his stomach began to feel a little uncomfortable.


    Liu Jin quickly ran back and said to Sheng Qian, "yes, my girlfriend said that Zhang Yang died young and was not buried in the cemetery, but in their hometown''s ancestral grave. However, his parents are still in sangcheng. They opened a snack bar on the street not far from here. Are you... Going to have a look?"


    Sheng Qian gave him his mobile phone: "save the store name for me. I''m afraid I can''t remember. Don''t worry about the rest."


    Liu Jin glanced at him suspiciously. While typing, he asked, "after all these years, why do you suddenly think of... Is it related to Zhao Xiaowei?"


    Sheng Qian put down his wine glass and saw that Liu Jin had saved it. He took his mobile phone back from his hand and said, "don''t talk nonsense. I''ll go."


    Sheng Qian didn''t call the driver either. He walked over and stopped in front of the store.


    It''s already more than ten o''clock. The shop hasn''t closed yet, but there are no guests in it.


    Sheng Qian went in. As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged woman immediately asked, "do you have dinner?"


    Sheng Qian nodded.


    The woman smiled and asked, "what do you eat?"


    He wanted to say casually, but he thought it was too impolite. He turned to look at the menu posted on the wall and said, "cat ears."


    "You sit down, it''ll be fine soon," the woman said enthusiastically. Then she went to the small window inside and repeated, "a bowl of cat ear noodles."

 Chapter 340

    Sheng Qian found a table and sat down. He saw that although it was simple, it was clean, and looked at the neat empty beer bottles next to it. It was obvious that their business was very good, but no one was there because it was too late.


    He was looking around when he saw a three or four year old boy running out with two garbage bags in his hand.


    Sheng Qian was stunned for a moment because the child looked too much like Zhang Yang.


    But yes, this child should be Zhang Yang''s brother. It''s no surprise that his own brother looks like him.


    He just didn''t expect that Zhang Yang''s parents would have another child after so many years. I think it''s a great blow to them.


    With a plop, Sheng Qian turned his head and saw that the child fell next to him. He immediately stretched out his hand to help. The woman also ran over, but didn''t help the child on the ground. He smiled and said to Sheng Qian, "it''s all right. Don''t worry about him, boy. It''s normal to knock and fall."


    Although she said so, Sheng Qian saw worry and tension in her eyes.


    The child himself got up from the ground, smiled at Sheng Qian, and went out again.


    Sheng Qian looked at the child crossing the threshold, threw the garbage into the trash can outside the door, turned around and said to the woman, "aunt, in fact, I am Zhang Yang''s classmate. At the classmate party a few days ago, we thought of Zhang Yang, so I came to see you for my classmates."


    The woman''s face quickly covered with sadness, but for a moment she smiled and said, "it''s rare that you remember him. Thank you."


    Sheng Qian took another look at the child. He was washing his hands. When he couldn''t reach the faucet, he stood on tiptoe.


    "Is that Zhang Yang''s brother?"


    The woman nodded, "well."


    When the woman looked at the child, her eyes showed a complex look, remorse, guilt and worry. Sheng Qian couldn''t tell what it was, or all of it.


    "The noodles are ready." the man inside shouted.


    The woman immediately returned to her mind, went over and brought out the noodles and put them in front of Sheng Qian: "eat first, I still have some work behind me."


    Sheng Qian said hurriedly, "aunt, be busy. Don''t worry about me."


    Sheng Qian looked at the noodles shaped like cat ears in the bowl. In fact, he didn''t eat much. Now his stomach is still uncomfortable.


    He put the money on the table and left quietly.


    When he went back, it was dark at home. He knew that Zhao Xiaowei had left.


    He remembered that Zhao Xiaowei seemed to have bought a pile of medicine. He looked for it. There was really stomach medicine in it. He took two pills according to the above instructions and fell asleep.


    The next day when I went to the company, I met Sheng Liang in the hall. Sheng Liang looked at his face and asked, "what''s the matter with Zhao Xiaowei? Are you together?"


    Sheng Qian frowned: "what are you together? When did you gossip like this?"


    Sheng Liang smiled: "it''s not that I want gossip. It''s Zhao Xiaowei who called me at noon yesterday to ask for leave for you."


    It turned out to be so. Sheng Qian didn''t start and said disgustedly, "that woman likes to make her own decisions. I think she just deliberately called you so that everyone can know that I''m with her!"


    Seeing his indignant appearance, Sheng Liang asked again, "is that together?"


    Sheng Qian looked at him and narrowed his slender eyebrows: "do you want to know what I did in Qiao Xuan''s room when we were in France?"


    Sheng liangleng snorted, raised his feet and left.


    Sheng Qian laughed wantonly in the back: "I still want to do the routine. There''s no door!"


    Sheng Liang walked into the office and saw Xu Yi waiting for him. He knew that he had something to check before: "say it."


    "Chairman, the man was found. His name is Lanlong. He is a prisoner in the same warehouse with Xilin Fu." Xu Yi whispered, "moreover, Lanlong was released from prison just yesterday."


    "Blue dragon, how could it be him?" Sheng Liang''s face was a little ugly. He didn''t expect this man to get involved.


    "Chairman, do you know this man?" Xu Yi said strangely. "Why can''t I find any information about this man, even if he was sentenced to prison for what crime?"


    Sheng Liang looked at Xu Yi, then at the door, as if thinking for a moment, and then said: "It''s not surprising that you can''t find it. This matter is related to my old man, so everything about this man must have been erased long ago. Almost ten years ago, Shengshi encountered a crisis. At that time, Shengshi was keen on the research and development of cosmetics, invested a lot of human and material resources, and was robbed as soon as the new products came into the market. But soon, there was consumer feedback that it was useless Skin ulceration occurred after the cosmetics, and then more people complained. The Administration for Industry and commerce, the Bureau of health supervision, and the food and drug administration were all investigating. Shengshi also began self-examination. The results showed that the lead and mercury content of those cosmetics seriously exceeded the standard, the whole production line was shut down, and the sold products were urgently recalled, resulting in great losses. Shengshi was also because of Falling into a crisis of trust, the stock market fell all the way. But this is not the most serious, because there are a large number of consumer victims, Shengshi is required to close down for rectification, and all senior executives involved in this matter have to face punishment. "


    "That..." Xu Yi seemed to guess something, but he stopped talking.


    Sheng Liang sighed: "You guessed it. At this time, enterprises will choose to break their arms to survive, and Shengshi is no exception. At that time, a senior executive proposed to push someone out and let him carry everything. This person was blue dragon. He was in charge of production at that time. Someone took the so-called evidence that he was malicious revenge on the company and added excessive harmful substances without permission, so the case went straight Then it became Lanlong''s personal behavior, which had nothing to do with the company. After that, Lanlong was sentenced to more than ten years. His family had appealed, but they had no evidence. Moreover, those who fabricated Lanlong''s criminal facts even hired someone to hurt Lanlong''s brother, and no one dared to sue them again. From beginning to end, although the old man did not participate, he chose to acquiesce , he has already participated. The blue dragon must have come for the prosperous age this time, but he has no influence background and can''t shake the prosperous age. Xilin Fu is his best chess piece. "


    After hearing Sheng Liang finish, Xu Yi doesn''t know how to express it. A man has been wronged and imprisoned for more than ten years. His heart is probably thinking about how to revenge all the time. If he doesn''t do something, he won''t give up.


    Sheng Liang''s mood is also extremely complex. A Xilin Fu is enough to give people a headache. Now there is another blue dragon with developed mind. The key is that they owe the blue dragon in the prosperous age. He can''t deal with him like Xilin Fu.

 Chapter 341

    Sheng Liang came home and saw Qiao Xuan looking around again. He asked, "haven''t you found it yet?"


    Qiao Xuan shook her head: "it''s strange. I''ve searched all over the house, but I can''t find it. I called my mother and she said she didn''t see it, but it''s impossible to leave it outside except at home."


    Sheng Liang walked over and pulled her up. Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "will it fall in the hospital? I remember I saw your ring when I took off your clothes that day."


    "Have you really met?" Qiao Xuan looked up at him. "Then why don''t you say it? I''ve been looking for it at home for several days."


    Sheng Liang felt her hair apologetically: "my heart was going to be numb at that time. How can I remember such a thing."


    Qiao Xuan can imagine naturally. She lowered her eyelids and said with a little pity, "it''s estimated that she can''t find it back."


    "I have time another day. I''ll ask Xilin Yue. If they find it in the hospital, they may give it to him." although this is unlikely, Sheng Liang really wants to see Xilin Yue.


    Qiao Xuan also knew that the chance was not big, but she nodded and said, "OK."


    "What did you cook today?" Sheng Liang held Qiao Xuan''s shoulder and walked to the kitchen. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance.


    "Nothing. You''ve worked hard recently. I stewed fish soup to make up for you."


    Sheng Liang circled her neck from behind and whispered in her ear, "why is it fish soup? Shouldn''t it be perfect tonic soup?"


    Hearing what he said, Qiao Xuan knew that he was deliberately misinterpreting her words. She said he worked hard and stared at him: "Why are you talking more and more..."


    "Obscene?" Sheng Liang smiled. "I told my wife it''s not against the law."


    "Who is your wife!"


    Sheng Liang choked, but did not loosen her, but held her tighter: "I won''t go to the company tomorrow. Let''s get the card."


    Qiao Xuan was slightly stunned. Although this was what she had always dreamed of, she didn''t want Sheng Liang to feel that her words were forcing him: "Sheng Liang..."


    As soon as she turned her neck, Sheng Liang kissed her, blocked her back, and then said, "in the year you left, I regret it every day. If only we got married early, even when sending a notice, I can tell others that this is my wife, but I can only say that she is my girlfriend. That feeling is really hard."


    Qiao Xuan turned back and dialed some long broken hair in front of his forehead: "although I don''t like your proposal very much, in case I disappear again next time, you can be justified... HMM..."


    Is she wrong? Sheng Liang seems to be punishing her when he kisses her this time.


    "Not next time!" Sheng Liang said word by word, his eyes a little cold.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to speak, just nodded.


    Obviously, he said it first. She just followed his words. Why was she angry.


    But she really felt it. After coming back this time, Sheng Liang was always worried about gain and loss. She was afraid that she would disappear again.


    That thing really left a shadow on him.


    Took him to the kitchen and saw that he was going to serve dinner. Qiao Xuan pressed Sheng Liang on the chair and said, "don''t move, I''ll come."


    Sheng Liang feels very contradictory. He doesn''t want Qiao Xuan to work so hard, but he enjoys the feeling of being taken care of. It''s a happiness he''s never had in the past 20 years.


    After dinner, Qiao Xuan wants to feed every year. Sheng Liang is watching. Qiao Xuan holds the child and he holds her behind her.


    He felt that his life was complete.


    After feeding the baby and watching him fall asleep, the two stepped back and closed the door slowly.


    When she was ready to go back to her room, Qiao Xuan suddenly shook when she saw Sheng Liang in front of her, and then supported the wall with her hand. She was startled, helped him and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    Sheng Liang''s forehead suddenly hurt like a needle, but the feeling passed quickly. He waved his hand and said, "it''s all right, suddenly a little dizzy."


    Qiao Xuan looked at his pale face and helped him back to the bedroom: "lie down quickly. Are you too tired recently? I''ll rub it for you. If it''s not good, we''ll go to the hospital."


    Sheng Liang wanted to refuse, but she had a terrible headache, so she had to let her press and knead without feeling heavy.


    But he knew in his heart that he couldn''t be tired. Recently, not only did Sheng Qian help, but Xilin Fu also stopped a lot. He didn''t even work overtime. How could he be tired to a headache.


    However, it seems that there was a time before. After he dragged Xu Yi and Roger out of Xilin Yue''s house, he was dizzy like just now, but he recovered after sleeping for a while, so he didn''t take it seriously at all.


    Is it because he had no treatment after inhaling the poison gas and left the sequelae?


    Qiao Xuan pressed it for a while, saw his eyebrows stretch slightly, and asked, "how''s it going? Is it better?"


    "Well, it doesn''t hurt so much." Sheng Liang stretched out his hand and pulled Qiao Xuan into his arms to lie down, "go to sleep. We have to get the certificate tomorrow."


    These two words were mentioned by him again. Qiao Xuan was much calmer. In fact, it doesn''t matter whether they have that piece of paper or not. The only difference is that after having that thing, she can occupy the man in good faith.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t wake up all night. When she opened her eyes, she was startled to see that the sky was bright. Without looking next to her, she got up and got out of bed.


    She slept so hard last night that she didn''t get up to feed the baby. But it''s strange that the little guy didn''t cry?


    She quickly stepped into the nursery and saw Sheng Liang changing diapers for years. She was stunned immediately: "Why are you so early?"


    After she asked, she remembered something. Could it be that he didn''t sleep because he had a headache last night? She was afraid that she would stay here all night for years?


    She thought so and immediately walked over: "do you... Still have a headache?"


    I wanted to directly ask him if he didn''t sleep all night, but according to Sheng Liang''s temperament, he certainly wouldn''t tell her the truth, so he pretended not to know, just as he got up early.


    Sheng Liang changed the diapers for the child and fed him milk. Then he put him in the cradle and looked back at Qiao Xuan: "it didn''t hurt last night. I made breakfast. In a moment, Xiao Nan will send his aunt to help us look after years. We''ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."


    Although at ordinary times, Sheng Liang arranges everything in order, and there is no chance for her to show, but this time, Qiao Xuan is inexplicably a little uneasy.


    But she hopes that she really thinks too much.


    That is, as soon as they had breakfast, Qiao Nan brought Qiao''s mother, because Sheng Liang said he was going to the Civil Affairs Bureau when he called, so when they met, although they didn''t mention it, the joy on Qiao''s mother''s face couldn''t be concealed.


    As a parent, who doesn''t want her children to be good? Even if she said she doesn''t care about the false name, it''s enough as long as Sheng Liang is good to Qiao Xuan, but without this false name, Qiao Xuan, in the final analysis, has nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 342

    On the way to the car, Sheng Liang seemed a little excited. He kept holding Qiao Xuan''s hand and didn''t loosen it.


    Qiao Xuan turned to look at him. His face was really bad. It can be seen that she guessed right. He didn''t sleep last night: "you don''t have to go today. You should rest at home."


    "Today is a good day for marriage." Sheng Liang said very seriously.


    "Do you still believe this?" Qiao Xuan smiled and held his hand tighter.


    When I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, there were a lot of people. Qiao Xuan whispered, "it seems that today is really a good day."


    After a lot of lengthy procedures, they finally got a small red book. However, when the staff reviewed their identity information, Qiao Xuan understood some of her previous worries.


    Her identity information has changed, and it was a year ago, after she left him.


    Qiao Xuan remembered that a long time ago, Sheng Liang also told her to get married and even prepared the wedding, but he suddenly cancelled it.


    Now think about it, maybe Xilin Fu''s appearance at that time gave him a sense of crisis. He was afraid that Xilin Fu knew that she was the little girl, so he asked Ling Hui to help change her identity information.


    Because she didn''t know about it at that time, he would rather be misunderstood by her than say the reason.


    As for why he changed her back a year ago, he must be worried that she can''t use her ID card when she needs it outside.


    This man is always thinking for her and always thinks longer than her.


    Qiao Xuan feels how lucky she is to meet him in this life, or God wants her to live a life again just to meet him.


    "What are we going to do next?" Qiao Xuan has learned to rely on him and leave her life to him.


    Sheng Liang held her hand tightly and put it on his chest: "even when doing business with foreigners, I haven''t been so flustered in any big scene. Up to now, my heart still beats wildly."


    Actually, so is she.


    Although they have long lived together and are familiar with each other, they still feel different.


    "Do you want to find a place to sit down?" Qiao Xuan was still worried about his body. She found a chance later and advised him to go to the hospital for examination.


    However, they just sat in the nearby small park for a while. Xu Yi came and said that the company had something urgent for Sheng Liang to deal with.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t doubt anything. She drove back by herself. On the way, she felt something was wrong. It was too time for Xu Yi to come, and she didn''t see them talking on the phone, but Xu Yi accurately found their location.


    She turned back and couldn''t see the two of them. She didn''t call or look for them again. She just regretted that she believed his words so easily just now.


    Sheng Liang and Xu Yi went to the hospital. Sheng Liang was not big enough to think he had a headache all night, just because he was too tired.


    After Sheng Liang''s examination, Xu Yi quickly took his coat to him, and the two went to the doctor with the film.


    Go in and see Xilin Yue. Sheng Liang''s eyebrows jumped fiercely. How can you see him everywhere.


    Xilin Yue looked up and saw that it was Sheng Liang. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here, looking for me?"


    Xu Yi is in the back. He takes the film and looks at Sheng Liang. For a moment, he doesn''t know whether to hand it to Xilin Yue.


    "Shouldn''t you be in the inpatient department?" Sheng Liangxing asked casually, took the film from Xu Yi''s hand and asked Xu Yi to go out first.


    "We take turns in the outpatient department. It''s my turn today."


    Sheng Liang sighed gently, then handed the film to him: "please help me see."


    Xilin Yue just took it up and looked at it and asked, "is this yours?"


    Seeing his dignified look, Sheng Liang sank in his heart: "my, what''s the problem?"


    There''s a problem, there''s a big problem!


    But looking at Sheng Liang''s expressionless face, Xilin Yue didn''t know what to say. He quickly organized language, coughed and asked, "have you ever had craniotomy before?"


    Sheng Liang looked at him and didn''t answer, but his face was full of, how could that be.


    But he soon thought of something, and his eyelids drooped: "it seems."


    Yes, no, no, but he actually said... It seems that there is. Xilin Yue knows without guessing. He has a secret that he doesn''t want to be known by others.


    "Does this have anything to do with the operation?" Sheng Liang raised his eyes, and the look he had just collected was completely gone.


    "Well," Xilin Yue pointed to him, "you should have been shot before. There were bullets left here. Later, the bullets were taken out, but someone put something else in it."


    Xilin Yue thinks it''s incredible. It''s a bit like a science fiction movie, but medical images won''t deceive people.


    He was suddenly a little excited and felt that he had encountered an unprecedented case, although he knew it was immoral.


    "What?" Sheng Liang''s tone was still calm, but his slightly curled fingers exposed his current mood.


    "Only from above, I''m not sure, but it''s very likely that it''s a neurotoxin. It''s wrapped by a membrane. Once this membrane is destroyed, the neurotoxin will soon spread to the whole brain. Light people lose consciousness, heavy people... Die." xilinyue stared at Sheng Liang''s eyes and wanted to find some clues from inside. Unfortunately, there was nothing.


    "OK, I see." Sheng Liang stood up, turned and walked out. He stopped at the door and didn''t look back. He said softly, "don''t tell Qiao Xuan about this first."


    Fate can really torture people. It''s not easy to find Qiao Xuan. It''s not easy to watch her get rid of her injuries. Now it''s his turn.


    He thought that from now on he would never have to face the unbearable past and those dark memories as disgusting as the dead mouse in the smelly ditch, but fate finally found him.


    Really should that sentence, come out to mix, always have to pay back.


    When Xu Yi saw him coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Chairman, what did he say?"


    "Nothing. If you use your brain too much, you''ll be fine after a few days of rest." Sheng Liang said as he walked. He felt Xu Yi''s eyes that he didn''t believe. He turned to look at him and said, "help me tell Xiao Si and let him stare more at the company. I... Rest at home for two days."


    Xu Yi nods, but his face is still worried. If he is not too tired to support his body and has a cool personality, he will never ignore the things in the company and go home to rest. In the past, he didn''t ask for leave even if he had a high fever of 40 degrees.


    When Sheng Liang came in, he saw Qiao Xuan coaxing the child on the sofa. When he lowered his head and smiled, the light on his face was soft.


    When Xilin Yue talked about his situation, he didn''t feel desperate, but now when he saw the picture in front of him, the string stretched in his heart suddenly broke.

 Chapter 343

    Qiao Xuan inadvertently looked up and saw Sheng Liang standing there. She shook her mind for a moment, and then stood up: "are you back?"


    When he separated from her, he secretly sent a message to Xu Yi, asking Xu Yi to lie about something in the company, but now he goes home, which is tantamount to admitting that what he said before was a lie.


    However, Qiao Xuan didn''t ask at all. She expected that she had guessed it and didn''t explain it. She just walked over, hugged her gently and said, "don''t you ask what we''re going to do next? I want to take you and Sui Sui Sui to France for a few days. It''s like a honeymoon."


    "Yes, of course, but what about the company?" Qiao Xuan knows Sheng Liang too well. He is a complete workaholic.


    "I have asked Xu Yi to tell Xiao Si, but most of them, Xiao Si won''t agree, so let''s leave in the afternoon." Sheng Liang separated from Qiao Xuan and couldn''t wait. "If there is no direct flight, we''ll go somewhere else, anywhere, and then fly to France from there."


    Qiao xuangen had no time to say anything, but he had already pushed her upstairs and asked her to pack up. He held her every year.


    Sheng Liang sat there with the child in his arms. His eyes were a little lax, especially when he looked down at the child. The original cold and fierce, those decisive, all retreated, and the rest was at a loss.


    In the past, he always had the determination to die, carefully calculated for the camp step by step, and dared not waste a minute, for fear that he would die the next second, but what he had to do had not been completed.


    But later, he found that his obsession was just a misunderstanding. If Qiao Xuan had not been there at that time, he would have spent his life in vain.


    Now he finally knew what he wanted and had someone to guard with all his strength, but at this time, he tasted the evil consequences planted before.


    It''s a good reincarnation of heaven.


    Qiao Xuan packed her bags and came downstairs to see such a cool life. Even when she knew the truth of his life, or when the golden age overturned, he was calm and leisurely, but now, his face was all decadent and his figure was so lonely.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was a little sour. She was sure that something had happened to him, but he didn''t want to say it, and she didn''t want to ask him. At least he was willing to be with them, so she thought she didn''t know anything.


    Sheng Liang used to protect her. This time, she also hopes to protect him well.


    She went over to take the child and said to Sheng Liang, "I''ve packed all my luggage. Book your ticket."


    However, as soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Liang''s mobile phone suddenly rang. Qiao Xuan quickly picked up the child. Sheng Liang took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Qiao Nan. He pondered for a while without looking at Qiao Xuan. He walked aside and said, "what''s the matter?"


    "Yo, Mr. Sheng, can you tell who I am," said a greasy man with a smile, "I, Wang Chenguang."


    "Wang Chenguang?" Sheng Liang murmured, the boss of Chenguang entertainment? Sheng Liang realized that things might be troublesome, but he deliberately didn''t mention Qiao Nan''s name, "how can his mobile phone be in your hand?"


    Wang Chenguang seemed a little complacent, but he had to pretend to be innocent and said, "your brother-in-law killed someone here and was almost sent to the police station by my people. Fortunately, I knew him, so I hurriedly called Mr. Sheng. Now the people are still here. Don''t worry, there''s a lot of hair."


    Sheng Liang''s heart sank. Unconsciously, he turned to look at Qiao Xuan and asked Wang Chenguang, "where are you? I''ll go now."


    Wang Chenguang said that Qiao Nan killed someone, but he didn''t call the police and didn''t call anyone. He also specially called to tell him that he obviously wanted to talk to him about conditions.


    He thought that if a person could solve the matter, he wouldn''t have to let Qiao Xuan know and worry.


    Wang Chenguang said an address, which is a famous entertainment club in sangcheng.


    Sheng Liang hung up the phone and was slightly stunned, thinking about what conspiracy might be behind it.


    "Are you going out?" although she knew that Shengliang couldn''t really leave the company, she couldn''t wait. At this moment, a phone call was immediately called away, and Qiao Xuan was still a little lost.


    Sheng Liang saw this emotion in the bottom of her eyes and comforted him, "it''s not a big thing. I''ll deal with it and come back."


    Qiao Xuan gave a well-being, suppressed all her little emotions, smiled and said, "it doesn''t matter. Be careful yourself and don''t drive too fast."


    Sheng Liang listened to what she said and didn''t know how to respond. He didn''t look at her anymore and left immediately.


    When Sheng Liang got there, someone waited for him at the door. Seeing him come in, he immediately led him into a luxury box.


    When Sheng Liang went in, he saw a pool of red blood on the carpet, and then saw Qiao Nan pressed on the ground. His hand was tied with blood, and a bloody knife was thrown aside.


    "Brother in law, don''t listen to their nonsense. I didn''t kill anyone. It''s Wang Chenguang. He wants... To invade Lin Zheng!" Qiao Nan saw Sheng Liang and began to struggle again, shouting at the top of her voice.


    Wang Chenguang sat in the middle of the sofa, smoked, smiled and said, "Mr. Sheng, please sit down. It''s really rare. If it weren''t for today''s opportunity, it would be difficult for people like me to communicate with Mr. Sheng face to face."


    Sheng Liang didn''t go in any more. He looked into his eyes and said, "if Wang has any conditions, just say it directly. Everyone''s time is very precious. Don''t waste it on politeness."


    Wang Chenguang smiled and said: "Mr. Sheng is so frank. I''ll tell you straight. In fact, I have no conditions. From the beginning, I just wanted to cooperate with Miss Lin Zheng. Her contract with your company is about to expire. She has promised to sign in our company next. The contracts have been signed, but this boy came out to make trouble and used a knife and a gun. I''m a legal businessman. I can take it How is he? I have to call Mr. Sheng. "


    Although he repeated his words and changed the topic again and again, Sheng Liang understood. This Wang Chenguang, under the cover of the contract, set a set for Lin Zheng and wanted Lin Zheng to sell himself to him. Unexpectedly, he was damaged by Qiao Nan, so he made such a move.


    "Brother in law -" Qiao Nan just wanted to say something, but he saw Sheng Liang raise his hand, and he immediately shut his mouth.


    "Mr. Wang, I think you may have misunderstood something," said Sheng Liang calmly, "The contract that Lin Zheng is about to expire was signed by her and Bai Xiong, not Fei lengcui. When we bought Bai Xiong, several artists didn''t sign another contract. That''s because, in order to protect the interests of both sides, we have an oral agreement. In the next five years, if artists switch to other companies, they will bear a free advertising contract for one year."

 Chapter 344

    "What!" Wang Chenguang was a little shocked. This was something he didn''t expect. One year''s advertising, Sheng Liang is too dark, profiteer!


    Sheng Liang snorted: "I think President Wang still doesn''t pay attention to playing Lin Zheng. With this Kung Fu, it''s better to cultivate more new people. This industry is supposed to eat youth food. If you dig her up, it won''t be worth it in two years."


    Listening to Sheng Liang''s every sentence seems to be for his sake, but Wang Chenguang has unspeakable toothache. He doesn''t really want to sign Lin Zheng, but wants to take advantage of the fire and let Lin Zheng be his lover. Lin Zheng may have been ready for anything as long as she gives money to her nephrotic brother.


    But who knows what Qiao Nan said to Lin Zheng when he ran out on the way. Lin Zheng disagreed. He wanted to keep people. Unexpectedly, Qiao Nan was still carrying a knife and hurt his people when he came up.


    He didn''t want to steal the chicken and eat the rice. He wanted to hold down Qiao Nan and make up for Sheng Liang. As a result, he was despised from beginning to end and played again.


    Which bastard gave him a bad idea just now. He said that as long as Qiao Nan was deducted, Sheng Liang promised to promise any conditions. Who said Sheng Liang was a man who was afraid of his wife!


    By the way, Mo Chen!


    Wang Chenguang was originally a counsellor. Originally, he really thought he could take advantage of the opportunity to take Lin Zheng as his own. Now it seems impossible. The power of the Sheng family is there, and he can''t provoke it. Now he''s a little afraid that Sheng Liang will directly block his small company.


    "Mr. Sheng is right. I''m obsessed for a moment. Don''t care." Wang Chenguang suddenly turned 180 degrees and said to Sheng Liang with a smile.


    Sheng Liang frowned slightly, looked at Qiao Nan on the ground and asked, "can you let him go now?"


    "Let go!" Wang Chenguang said repeatedly, and then turned to his men, "don''t you hear me? Let go!"


    Those people immediately untied the rope on Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan stood up and went to Sheng Liang. He was ashamed in his eyes. He didn''t want to disturb Sheng Liang. Who knows he should clean up the mess.


    Sheng Liang didn''t say anything. He turned and left. When he heard Wang Chengguang crying in a low voice, he turned back and said to Wang Chengguang, "I''ll pay for the medical expenses of the person hurt by Qiao Nan. In addition, if President Wang is willing, we can cooperate."


    Wang Chenguang was a little confused at the moment. Cooperation? Small companies like them are generally impossible to cooperate with large companies. The most is assistance. Sheng Liang undoubtedly gave him a chance to pick it up for nothing, which is much more cost-effective than signing a Lin Zheng!


    Wang Chenguang reacted and said, "thank you, Mr. Sheng!"


    Qiao Nan followed Sheng Liang out and didn''t dare to say anything until he got out of the door of the club. Qiao Nan saw Sheng Liang''s footsteps suddenly unstable. He quickly helped him: "brother-in-law, are you okay?"


    "It''s all right." Sheng Liang gave him the car key. "You drive."


    Qiao Nan went over and opened the door. He saw that Sheng Liang was still standing straight in addition to his tight eyebrows. He couldn''t see any discomfort: "brother-in-law, get in the car."


    "Where''s Lin Zheng?" when he got on the bus, Sheng Liang leaned against the seat, his eyes estranged, and he couldn''t see any expression.


    "She''s still in the hotel. Wang Chenguang cheated her and wanted to treat her..." Qiao Nan didn''t go on, but instead said, "the hotel should have called the police."


    His head hurt so much that Sheng Liang couldn''t even think about the reason behind it. He just closed his eyes and said, "then go to the hotel. By the way, you call Roger and ask him to come over."


    The hotel really called the police. The police were still asking Lin Zheng for details, but Lin Zheng just turned pale and refused to say a word.


    She didn''t know where Wang Chenguang''s people took Qiao Nan, but Wang Chenguang also sent her a video saying Qiao Nan killed someone.


    So Lin Zheng didn''t dare to say anything. She was afraid that the police would find Qiao Nan.


    "Lin Zheng!" Qiao Nan shouted excitedly at the door.


    When Lin Zheng heard the sound, he looked up and saw Qiao Nan. His eyes suddenly turned red. He ran over and hugged him: "they said you killed someone. Wang Chenguang threatened me and let you go to jail if you didn''t listen to him, so I..."


    Qiao Nan knows that Wang Chengguang called Sheng Liang in front of him without scruples, and also sent a video to Lin Zheng in front of him.


    "No, he lied to you. It''s all right. My brother-in-law has solved it." Qiao Nan loosened Lin Zheng and looked back, but he didn''t see Sheng Liang. He went out to have a look, but only saw Sheng Liang''s back.


    Lin Zheng didn''t expect that Sheng Liang was in trouble at the end of this matter, and she also paid attention to leaving feilengcui. She couldn''t tell what it was like in her heart.


    Sheng Liang went to his long rented room, entered the door and lay on the sofa, so he couldn''t get up.


    Roger also had the room card of this room, so he went directly into the door and saw Sheng Liang lying on the sofa, as if unconscious. But when he looked carefully, he would find that he was shaking all over, as if he was trying to bear something. He was immediately startled: "cool less!"


    A splitting headache!


    This was Sheng Liang''s only feeling. He heard Roger coming, but he didn''t want to move at all and didn''t want to say anything.


    Roger seemed to understand and didn''t ask. He just poured him a glass of water and stood waiting.


    After a while, the feeling slowly dissipated. Sheng Liang sat up, took the water cup in Roger''s hand and took a sip.


    Roger saw that the clothes on his back were wet.


    Sheng Liang took a bath and changed into clean clothes, as if he had returned to his usual appearance.


    "Liang Shao, what happened? I just heard that Lin Zheng -" Roger didn''t finish what he said. Seeing Sheng Liang put his hand on him, he didn''t go on.


    "Xilin Fu began to fight back." Sheng Liang said faintly.


    Roger was stunned: "Xilin Fu? What does he have to do with this?"


    Sheng Liang didn''t expect this relationship at the beginning, but in the private room of the club, he smelled the same smell as when he was at Xilin Yue''s house.


    In fact, he was a little strange at that time. If Xu Yi and Roger had stayed in such a poisonous space all the time, it was estimated that they would have died and couldn''t wait for him.


    And Xilin Fu, let him take Xu Yi and Roger away so easily.


    Now he realized that Xilin Fu must have pumped out the poison gas after Xu Yi fainted, and then replaced it with another gas.


    His two headaches were related to the smell, which was obviously premeditated.


    Moreover, Xilin Yue said that the things in his mind were put in after the bullet was taken out of the gunshot wound. No one can do it except Xilin Fu.

 Chapter 345

    Sheng Liang said other things to Roger, except that he didn''t mention the gunshot wound. He didn''t want to mention the Scorpio butterfly to anyone.


    "It''s definitely not over yet. Go and find out who encouraged Wang Chenguang to do Lin Zheng." in fact, he can also ask Wang Chenguang just now, but in that case, Xilin Fu may be aware of it.


    Xilin reappears. I don''t know he''s noticed. There must be other actions. Then he''d better pull out the blue dragon.


    "OK," Roger said, but turned and walked a few steps and stopped. "Shall I take you back?"


    "I won''t go back first, you don''t care." Sheng Liang hung his eyes, a little long bangs covered his eyes and couldn''t see his mood clearly.


    If he had thought of the best of both worlds to make Xilin Fu disappear completely, now he can''t control so much. He must solve Xilin Fu and blue dragon before the thing in his mind controls his mind, otherwise everyone around him may encounter danger in the future.


    Roger was still worried about Sheng Liang after he went out, so he called Xu Yi to let him go. Xu Yi had something to tell Sheng Liang.


    He had heard about Qiao Nan and Lin Zheng. He stood in front of Sheng Liang and scolded himself: "sorry, chairman, if I hadn''t helped Qiao Nan find Wang Chenguang, he wouldn''t be so impulsive."


    "So it is." no wonder Qiao Nan wanted Xu Yi to help him investigate Lin Zheng''s job hopping,


    "Chairman, Roger said you just..." Xu Yi thought of going to the hospital with him at noon, but he didn''t say what was going on. It seems a little serious to hear what Roger said.


    "Have you contacted my father recently?" Sheng Liang asked.


    Xu Yi hurriedly said: "I called several times, but the old man didn''t reveal where they are now." I don''t want to be disturbed by others.


    Seeing that Sheng Liang didn''t speak, Xu Yi hurriedly said, "the old man asked me to say hello to you and the fourth young master for him."


    Sheng Liang smiled: "Xu Yi, you are really not good at lying."


    Sheng Tianhao will never take the initiative to say such words. He should be waiting for them to call him, but one of them doesn''t want to call, and the other doesn''t know what to say. They simply don''t call, but they will know the current situation of Sheng Tianhao in other ways in a few days.


    Xu Yi was a little embarrassed. After a while, he asked, "Chairman, although I didn''t mean to listen, I heard Dr. Xilin say, your gunshot wound..."


    Xu Yi was just halfway through the speech when he saw Sheng Liang''s eyes. He swallowed hard. He realized that he had leaked his mouth and shut his mouth quickly.


    In fact, he knows something about Sheng Liang in that organization, and Sheng Tianhao also knows it. However, because that memory was too cruel to Sheng Liang, Sheng Tianhao always pretended not to know and didn''t let Xu Yi mention it. Just now, he forgot it for a moment.


    But even if he had stopped talking soon, Sheng Liang still heard: "what do you know?"


    "No... i... I just heard Dr. Xilin say..." Xu Yi swallowed hard. Although he knew that lying would be seen through, he still tried to explain.


    In fact, if he can calm down and be sure, there is nothing to doubt. At most, he shouldn''t listen to their conversation, but the more guilty he is, the more nervous he is, and he can''t even speak completely.


    Sheng Liang was just trying. Now he can be sure that Xu Yi really knows something. Needless to say, it must be said by Sheng Tianhao.


    It turned out that their old man knew it.


    He didn''t want to think about those things and was most afraid of being known by others. Therefore, when Xilin Yue mentioned his gunshot wound that day, he couldn''t remember it.


    Just now, Xu Yi talked about it again. He suddenly thought of something. At that time, he was shot and nearly died. When he was unconscious in the hospital, it seemed that there was a riot in the hospital, and someone in the organization was injured, but Xilin didn''t mention it after he returned.


    Now think about it. Maybe Sheng Tianhao tried to save him. The organization base could not be found by outsiders. The hospital was much simpler. Unfortunately, it failed.


    However, Sheng Liang figured this out and understood why he escaped so smoothly. There was a boat on the vast sea. It turned out that it was arranged by Sheng Tianhao.


    Sheng Liang originally thought that when he thought about these things again, he would uncover the old bloody scars, but he didn''t. instead, his heart was calmer than before.


    "Chairman..." Xu Yi cried out with some worry. Seeing that Sheng Liang didn''t respond, he blamed himself more and more.


    For a long time, Sheng Liangcai turned to look at him and said, "help me book two tickets to fly to France tomorrow. Any city is good."


    Maybe this trip will become the last memory point for him and Qiao Xuan.


    When he finished, he saw that Xu Yi was still a little unclear, so he added: "I haven''t told you that Qiao Xuan and I have obtained the certificate, so we want to go out with her for a few days."


    Xu Yi was a little surprised, but it was really good news. He quickly smiled and said, "Congratulations, chairman! When is the wedding? Roger and I will arrange it earlier."


    Sheng Liang said, "it''s not urgent. Let''s wait until we come back from France."


    He doesn''t want so many people to know about their marriage. If one day he dies or is stupid, Qiao Xuan doesn''t have to have so many scruples to find someone else.


    Xu Yi didn''t think much, so he immediately called to book tickets for them.


    Sheng Liang had a rest. He felt better and asked Xu Yi to take him home.


    Unexpectedly, in addition to Qiao Xuan, Sheng Qian was also there. They didn''t know what they were talking about just now. They both smiled happily. Unconsciously, his face changed.


    "Third brother." Sheng Qian stood up first and said hello to him, "I heard you''re married. Why don''t you tell me?"


    Roger, that big mouth!


    Sheng Liang frowned and said faintly, "I just got a certificate. If I have a wedding, I will naturally inform you."


    Sheng Qian smiled and said, "so you want to be natural and unrestrained, so let me look after the house alone?"


    "I''m not alone in the prosperous age. You should make all the snacks. Sooner or later..." I''ll give it to him sooner or later.


    "What sooner or later?" Sheng Qian looked at him. "Don''t tell me you''re not going to come back from France. I can''t bear such a heavy burden."


    Sheng Liang sighed and wanted to say something, but now it''s hard to speak.


    "I''ll change my clothes and you can talk first." Sheng Liang said and went upstairs.

 Chapter 346

    Qiao Xuan looked at his back and frowned. The clothes he was wearing were not the one he was wearing when he went out. He even changed the shirt inside.


    And usually, he would stick with Sheng Qian in three or two words. Sheng Qian never took advantage of it, but just now, Sheng Qian said that, he didn''t refute it.


    Not only her, Sheng Qian felt it and asked Qiao Xuan, "what''s the matter with him? He seems to be wrong today, and his face is so bad. Who provoked him?"


    This sentence reminded Qiao Xuan that Sheng Liang said he had a headache that day, but she asked him to go to the hospital, and he refused to go. Then his face became worse and worse.


    And he said he was going to France. He couldn''t wait. It seemed that he couldn''t wait for a moment. There was no scheduled itinerary. For him, it seemed that he had never.


    What''s the matter with him?


    In the evening, Sheng Qian stayed at home for dinner. Sheng Liang didn''t want Qiao Xuan to work so hard, so he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner alone.


    At the right time, Qiao Xuan let Sheng Qian watch. She also went to the kitchen and saw Sheng Liang frying the steak with his head down. It seemed very focused, but when he was taking black pepper, his fingers accidentally knocked down the seasoning bottle next to him, and the red liquid flowed down the glass platform.


    Sheng Liang obviously didn''t expect this and was stunned in place for a moment.


    Qiao Xuan hurried over and turned off the fire first. Seeing Sheng Liang bending down to clean up, she said, "don''t move, I''ll come."


    Sheng Liang looked at Qiao Xuan and quickly cleaned up. He whispered, "I''m sorry."


    Qiao Xuan stroked his face, and his voice was distressed: "what''s the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable? Is your head still aching?"


    Sheng Liang saw himself from her clear eyes. His confusion and helplessness were an expression he had never seen before.


    He used to be most afraid to see Qiao Xuan worry, but at the moment, he was a little greedy for her and nervous about his feeling, so he didn''t hide his vulnerability and nodded gently: "HMM."


    Sure enough, Qiao Xuan frowned and immediately took him out: "what are you doing uncomfortable? Go back to the room and lie down."


    It was the first time that Qiao Xuan spoke to him in a critical tone, but Sheng Liang was very happy. He knew that Qiao Xuan really cared about him.


    Back in the room, Qiao Xuan walked in front and heard the sound of closing the door. As soon as she was about to look back, Sheng Liang picked her up, walked a few steps to the bed and pressed her on the bed. She was startled: "Sheng Liang..."


    Sheng Liang lowers his head and kisses her crazily. He kisses her so much that her lips are swollen. Then he lets go of her and looks at her dizzy. His eyes are blurred. Sheng Liang asks in a low tone: "what were you talking about with Xiao Si just now? So happy?"


    "Hmm?" Qiao Xuan looked at him with wide eyes. He still couldn''t see any expression on his face, but Qiao Xuan still heard a trace of acid from his tone, "are you jealous?"


    Sheng Liang twisted his eyebrows, lowered his head and bit her chin: "say."


    Qiao Xuan was painful and itchy. Don''t start. She smiled and said, "I didn''t talk about anything. I told you about your childhood."


    When he was a child? It seems that he doesn''t remember what happened when he was a child. Can Sheng Qian remember?


    Qiao Xuan held his face and said, "I knew that you called the dog commander because your childhood dream was to be a general."


    Sheng Liang''s face darkened: "what did Xiao Si say?"


    He should make fun of it!


    Qiao Xuan carefully touched his hair: "don''t be angry. He didn''t mean to make fun of you. He just talked to me."


    Sheng Liang bit Qiao Xuan again: "are you talking for him?"


    Qiao Xuan twisted uncomfortably: "No."


    Because she dodged, Sheng Liang''s lips fell on her neck. He was a little stunned, and then chewed harder.


    He wanted to leave his mark on her and wanted her to remember him forever after he left.


    But soon his action was light and turned into a shallow kiss. He was still reluctant to let her hurt and let her keep a mark in the long years to come.


    Qiao Xuan naturally didn''t know. Just a few seconds ago, Sheng Liang''s heart had surged hundreds of times. She gently pushed him away and said, "stop it. Don''t you have a headache? Lie down and sleep for a while. I''ll call you when the meal is ready."


    Sheng Liang let go of her, turned over and lay on the bed, obediently closed his eyes: "HMM."


    He dared not open his eyes for fear that Qiao Xuan would see the scarlet red under his eyes at this time.


    Qiao Xuan thought he fell asleep so soon. She took down his slippers very gently, and then helped him cover the quilt. Seeing that he breathed well, she crept out.


    Sheng Qian watched Qiao Xuan go downstairs. While coaxing the years in his arms, he looked at her bitterly: "what are you two doing? It''s time to score."


    Qiao Xuan used to pick up Sui Sui, saw him asleep and put him back in the cradle.


    Sheng Qian said dissatisfaction, but when he woke up, he still coaxed him with his arms and didn''t let him disturb the two upstairs. Qiao Xuan turned to him and said, "thank you."


    Sheng Qian threw his mouth. He was very useful for these two words, because no one would tell him, so he swallowed a lot of prepared hurtful words in his stomach all at once. He just said, "whether to let people eat or not."


    "Wait for me for ten minutes, soon." Sheng Liang was almost ready before. She could eat as long as she had a simple treatment.


    Qiao Xuan went upstairs to call Sheng Liang. Seeing that he was sleeping heavily, she didn''t wake him up. Just after Sheng Qian left, she went to the kitchen to make soup and wait for him to wake up at night.


    After Sheng Qian left from Sheng Liang, he drove home. The lamp flashed. There was a man sitting at the door. The man raised his hand to block his eyes and exposed half of his face. It was Zhao Xiaowei.


    The woman hasn''t given up yet.


    Sheng Qian got out of the car and walked slowly over. He saw Zhao Xiaowei standing up. She was wearing a black coat and hat. At a glance, she was trying to avoid the reporter''s disguise: "chased by a dog?"


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t speak, just looked at him and followed him all the time.


    Sheng Qian had a feeling of punching cotton. Without saying anything more, he opened the door and went in. At the same time, he also listened to the voice of Zhao Xiaowei following him in.


    "If you have something to say, if you have nothing to say --" before leaving, Sheng Qian turned back. Just now he was outside, the sky was too dark to see clearly. At this moment, under the light, he saw that Zhao Xiaowei''s clothes were covered with dust and dirt, and some places were scratched, with faint blood stains. His good-looking eyebrows wrinkled, "what''s the matter?"


    Zhao Xiaowei took a step forward and seemed to want to be closer to Sheng Qian, but his legs were soft and he was going to plant on the ground. Sheng Qian immediately hugged her and put her on the sofa. He saw that she also had a big hole in her knee and was still bleeding out: "how did you get it?"

 Chapter 347

    "I''m going to publicize my hometown." when Zhao Xiaowei said this sentence, his eyes focused on Sheng Qian''s face, and his voice was cautious but excited.


    Sheng Qian had brought the medicine box and was holding scissors to cut open her jeans. Hearing this, he stopped for a while, then stabbed and cut open her trouser legs. There was no joy or anger in his voice: "what are you doing there?"


    Zhao Xiaowei held down the hand he was cleaning her wound and asked, "do you always think that publicity died because of us, so you have been avoiding me?"


    Sheng Qian was stunned again and didn''t answer, which was tantamount to acquiescence.


    At that time, everyone knew that Zhao Xiaowei was chasing him, but everyone also knew that Zhang Yang was chasing Zhao Xiaowei.


    Zhang Yang is an extremely low self-esteem and sensitive person, and sometimes extreme. He has done a lot of crazy things for Zhao Xiaowei, and even told him not to deceive Zhao Xiaowei with money.


    At that time, he had actually moved his heart to Zhao Xiaowei, but because of this sentence, he mistakenly denied it.


    But once the gate of emotion was opened, it was like a flood. It got out of hand. At their graduation ceremony that year, Zhao Xiaowei confessed to him in front of the whole school''s teachers and students. He kissed her uncontrollably.


    Then the next day, Zhang Yang died in a car accident, so he always blamed himself. Although Zhang Yang''s family accepted that Zhang Yang died in a traffic accident, he always felt that Zhang Yang would never have had such an accident if he hadn''t been stimulated.


    After that, he knew he couldn''t be with Zhao Xiaowei. There was a life between them, which could not be crossed.


    Looking at his expression, Zhao Xiaowei knew that she guessed right. She seemed a little nervous and excited. She held Sheng Qian''s hand in both hands, shook her head and said, "I know. Publicity has forgiven us for a long time!"


    Sheng Qian was stunned and then looked up at her: "how do you know?"


    Zhao Xiaowei took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him: "Zhang Yang''s grandmother said that he had been preparing a gift before the car accident. That day, he also had an accident because he wanted to send the gift. This letter was found in the gift box at the scene of his car accident. I opened it with the consent of his grandmother. In fact, Zhang Yang wanted to tell you before the graduation ceremony that he decided to make us happy."


    Sheng Qian looked at the words in the letter and felt a pang of sadness. Ten years later, the truth turned out to be like this.


    Maybe Zhang Yang really couldn''t bear to see them torture each other again, so he told them in this way.


    Seeing that Sheng Qian was still quietly bandaging her wound, Zhao Xiaowei called tentatively, "Sheng Qian -"


    As soon as she called his name, her lips were suddenly blocked. Sheng Qian clasped the back of her head with one hand and kissed her overbearing, savage but affectionate.


    Sheng Qian''s action was a little big. Zhao Xiaowei endured it for a while and still hissed. Sheng Qian hurriedly stopped: "what''s the matter, where does it hurt?"


    "Back, back." Zhao Xiaowei frowned and wanted to touch it with his hand.


    Sheng Qian pressed her hand down: "don''t move, let me see."


    Zhao Xiaowei obediently lay on the sofa. Sheng Qian lifted the clothes behind her and saw several bloody wounds on her smooth skin: "how did you get it and how did you get so many injuries?"


    Seeing his worried look, Zhao Xiaowei smiled in his heart, but pretended to be weak on his face: "it was dark when I came back from Zhang Yang''s hometown, but I was anxious to tell you, so I drove a little fast and crashed with people at the foot of the mountain."


    Sheng Qian''s face became more and more ugly: "you''re a pig. Why are you in such a hurry? You don''t want to die!"


    Seeing that Zhao Xiaowei didn''t speak, Sheng Qian thought his tone was too heavy and asked softly, "does it hurt?"


    "It hurts just now. It doesn''t hurt when I see you." Zhao Xiaowei''s heart beats with ecstasy, but she is more down-to-earth than ever. Especially when she sees Sheng Qian''s dark face, she thinks it''s worth waiting for ten years.


    When Sheng Qian heard her words, his face was very ugly. Suddenly he felt teased by her. He clenched his teeth and said, "Zhao Xiaowei!"


    Zhao Xiaowei suddenly turned over, hooked Sheng Qian''s neck and kissed him.


    She doesn''t care what girls want to be reserved. The man in front of her is the one she has loved for ten years and waited for ten years. In order to stand with him, she broke into the entertainment circle alone and suffered many grievances and hardships. Now, she finally waited. What does it matter if she is a little crazy.


    Sheng Qian was stunned by her sudden action, but for a moment, he quickly reacted, separated from her lips and whispered in her ear, "taking the initiative is a man''s business, you don''t have to take over."


    His voice was good. Now he bit her ear and made a deep angry sound. Zhao Xiaowei only felt that his whole body was numb and soft in a mess. Naturally, what he said was what he said.


    One night, the next morning, they woke up in a rush of mobile phone ringing. Zhao Xiaowei vaguely touched the mobile phone. Before seeing who called, Sheng Qian grabbed it and hung up, hugged her and said, "sleep."


    Zhao Xiaowei was still confused. Hearing his voice, she suddenly woke up. Looking at Sheng Qian''s close face, she doubted that she was still dreaming, and unconsciously pinched her palm: "Hmm..."


    Sheng Qian noticed her movement and hurriedly pulled her hand: "what are you doing!"


    Seeing his nervous appearance and the obvious pain from his hand just now, Zhao Xiaowei smiled foolishly: "I thought I was dreaming again."


    Sheng Qian suddenly felt a pain in his heart and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms: "have you always had such a dream? I kissed you in the dream?"


    Zhao Xiaowei shook his head: "in the dream, only you scold me and let me stay away from you."


    Listening to her words and thinking of the hardships she has experienced step by step in the past ten years, Sheng Qian blamed himself more and more: "I''m sorry."


    "If you know you''re sorry for me, make it up to me." Zhao Xiaowei slowly traced it on his face with her fingers. In fact, she knew that Sheng Qian said disgusting words to her every time, but in recent years, if he didn''t protect her openly and secretly, how could she go with the wind and water in the entertainment circle mixed with fish and dragons? This is also the reason why she refused to give up, Because he knew that Sheng Qian had her in his heart.


    "What compensation do you want," Sheng Qian lowered his voice again and kissed down her ear. "Is the boss''s wife of Shengshi enough?"


    After tossing around all night last night, Zhao Xiaowei''s legs were still soft. With such a kiss, she couldn''t help but surrender. The remaining reason made her busy stretch out her hand to open his body and say, "you want to usurp the throne. How can the boss of Shengshi say that it''s Qiao Xuan."

 Chapter 348

    Sheng Qian seemed to have been poured with cold water. His face immediately sank. He lay upright and said, "he is just a false name. There is half of me in the prosperous age, but I am not very interested in this false name, but if you want, I can fight for it."


    Sheng Qian has always been comfortable. How would he like to be bound by those cumbersome business affairs? Zhao Xiaowei climbed up, kissed his face and said, "what a coincidence. I''m not interested in the false name of the boss''s wife. Why don''t we find a place to live in seclusion."


    Sheng Qian suddenly turned over and pressed her under his body: "did my performance last night not satisfy you, then continue now."


    Zhao Xiaowei swallowed and immediately realized that he was angry because she kissed him again. He hurriedly said, "I''m wrong. Let me go, fourth young master."


    Sheng Qian bit her lip and kissed her hard for a long time until Zhao Xiaowei''s mobile phone rang again. He said a little impatiently, "who is so annoying? It''s bad for me!"


    Even so, he took his cell phone and gave it to Zhao Xiaowei.


    Zhao Xiaowei took a look and said, "it''s my agent."


    She suddenly disappeared yesterday and didn''t explain the reason to her agent. Later, she turned it off deliberately. The agent is estimated to be mad now.


    "What''s up, brother Ming?" Zhao Xiaowei asked carefully. Qing waited for Song Ming to yell at her.


    But no, Song Ming said politely, "I''m afraid I''ll have to call you madam Sishao in the future."


    Zhao Xiaowei glanced at Sheng Qian next to him and felt guilty. Does Song Ming know anything?


    She dressed like that yesterday and deliberately walked around for several times. No one should have found her whereabouts.


    When she didn''t speak, Song Ming sighed and said, "look at your mobile phone. You''re hot again. Xiaowei, I know you like Sishao, but people don''t like you. Even if you send it to the door to make some gossip, it''s useless."


    Zhao Xiaowei hasn''t said anything yet. Sheng Qian has taken his mobile phone and said to Song Ming, "how do you know it''s useless? Since you know she''s my Sheng Qian''s woman, be polite to her in the future."


    "Si Shao?" Song Ming was stunned for a moment. He didn''t react for a long time. He said with a busy smile, "yes, I''ll certainly talk to Mrs. Shao in the future. It''s very polite. If you''re busy, I won''t disturb you."


    Hearing that he hung up the phone, Sheng Qian frowned: "how dare you hang up on me."


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at him, a pair of eyes misty: "so, do we want to continue?"


    Anyway, Song Ming certainly won''t urge her back.


    Being so provoked by her, Sheng Qian would not admit defeat. His body immediately pressed back: "continue."


    They don''t hear anything outside the window, but the company has fried the pot. Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan have gone to France. Sheng Qian hasn''t appeared after ten o''clock. Although everyone has seen the news, even that can''t delay the business.


    At 10:30, Sheng Qian finally walked into the door of the company. All the way, everyone was greeting him. The female staff looked like they were lovelorn.


    "Si Shao, you''re here. The old antiques on the board of directors are going to blow up their nest," said min Lu, his senior assistant.


    "They blow up what nest, don''t they have a meeting? Isn''t it 11 o''clock, and I''m not late." Sheng Qian looked at his watch. He came early. If he wasn''t afraid that Sheng Liang would scold him, he wouldn''t come at all.


    Min Lu whispered, "it''s an emergency. The land we bought in the western suburbs had documents, but now the Land Bureau has to take it back. It says that the land is polluted by a nearby chemical plant and can''t be used to build residential buildings."


    "Are you kidding!" Sheng Qian''s face was gloomy. Sheng Liang had inspected the land for a long time. What nearby chemical plant is also called nearby twenty miles away?


    When he finished, he suddenly thought of something and asked min Lu, "is there another company interested in that land?"


    Min Lu shook his head: "I don''t know. Even if there is, it is also carried out secretly. We won''t know at this time."


    That''s right. Those people in the Land Bureau obviously want to start the price on the ground. They don''t think they give too few benefits.


    As they were talking, Sheng Qian saw Xu Yi coming face to face and said to min Lu, "go and appease the directors and say I''ll be there soon."


    Min Lu answered.


    Seeing that Sheng Qian was waiting for him, Xu Yi went over and asked, "what''s the matter with Si Shao?"


    "Does my third brother know about it?"


    Xu Yi was stunned: "does Si Shao refer to the headlines about you and Miss Zhao, or the land in the western suburbs?"


    Sheng Qian suddenly choked. This piece of wood can actually become Sheng Liang''s confidant. How did he do it.


    "Of course it''s about the land in the western suburbs." Sheng Qian said angrily.


    Xu Yi was uncomfortable when he heard his tone, but he still said, "the chairman doesn''t know. He should be on the plane now, but I''ve asked someone. Lanxi also liked the land."


    "Xilin Fu?" he said. Who else in sangcheng is so short-sighted and dares to rob land with them in the prosperous age? It was Xilin Fu.


    In fact, he didn''t know the grudges between Xilin Fu and Sheng Liang. He only knew these things related to Qiao Xuan. He sighed and said, "this is trouble."


    Sheng Liang had just left when something like this happened. He had no experience in dealing with Xilin Fu, but he couldn''t let the fat in his mouth be robbed by others. He had to find a way.


    Sheng Qian went to the conference room. It was a mess. Almost no one noticed him. Min Lu coughed a little. Those talents turned their eyes.


    However, these antiques usually don''t pay much attention to him. Now they look at him and turn back to continue whispering.


    "Didn''t you wait for me to come to the meeting? When I came, you said to yourself, OK, then you continue to say, I''ll wait." Sheng Qian sat there with a little coldness in his tone, hugging his shoulders and glancing at the people present.


    These people only know that the four young people usually look frivolous and uninhibited, but their means are far from Sheng Liang. But when they heard what he just said and saw the cold in his eyes, they immediately stopped talking, looked at him and asked, "did the four young people think of any solution?"


    The irony in this remark was so obvious that Sheng Qian could no longer hear that he was a fool. He snorted: "I already know who is making trouble in it. This matter will be solved in two days."


    The directors began to talk to each other again, but they didn''t say anything, no matter what kind of ideas they were holding, watching his jokes, waiting for him to take this opportunity to ask questions if he couldn''t do well.


    When they all went out from the conference room, min Lu looked at Sheng Qian who was still sitting in place and asked, "four young people, do you really have a way?"

 Chapter 349

    Although I was a little angry just now, it was not completely nonsense. Sheng Qian said: "Lanxi is in a mess now. Xilin doesn''t want to reorganize, but he first reaches out to us. Although Xilin''s family is a group of waste, it involves their own interests, and none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. They have already tasted the sweetness. Xilin''s sudden run out must have greatly dissatisfied them. In that case, we''ll push the boat with the current and add a fire to his backyard He has no time to rob us of land. "


    Min Lu looked at him with a disgusted face: "if the chairman were here, it would not be this way."


    "He''s not here now. I''ll use my own way." Sheng Qian looked at Min Lu. "Help me make an appointment with the doctor Xilin. Let''s start the fire from him."


    Min Lu disliked it even more: "four young people, can''t we change people? The doctor Xilin doesn''t eat fireworks at first sight. He won''t be interested in this kind of thing."


    "What do you know? If he really didn''t eat human fireworks, he wouldn''t have asked my third brother to subscribe for their shares in Lanxi." Sheng Qian thought about it and said, "by the way, why did I forget that Lanxi still has our shares? It depends on how I mix it with him this time."


    As soon as min Lu saw his squinting eyes and curved corners of his mouth, he unconsciously shivered all over. Every time he looked like this, someone must suffer.


    There are four young people in their family. They don''t have other skills. They set it up one by one. I hope he can really break into Lanxi and stir up the Xilin family. Maybe he will really win without a battle.


    Minlu really helped him make an appointment with xilinyue, but xilinyue had to be on duty that day. Sheng Qian had to go to the hospital to see him.


    Sheng Qian and Sheng Liang are somewhat similar in appearance, and their looks are handsome, regardless of up and down. Sheng Liang looks indifferent and is always unsmiling, so they seem a little inhumane.


    On the contrary, Sheng Qian always smiled in his slender eyebrows and eyes. He looked very easy to get along with, but when he was close, he could find that the smile was as cunning as a fox.


    The door of Xilin Yue''s office was open. Sheng Qian knocked several times. When he saw Xilin Yue looking up, he walked in with a smile: "Hello, Dr. Xilin, I''m Sheng Qian. My special assistant should have called you."


    Xilin Yue stood up, different from Sheng Qian''s smile. Xilin Yue''s smile was like a spring breeze: "Hello, I''m Xilin Yue."


    Sheng Qian waved his hand: "you''re welcome. You''re welcome. Please sit down."


    Seeing that he was like a master, Xilin Yue smiled and sat back slowly: "what''s the matter with me?"


    "It''s all right. I just heard that you have a good relationship with my third brother, so I''ll try to get close to Dr. Xilin." Sheng Qian smiled brightly.


    The first time I heard someone say that he was trying to get close to others, Xilin Yue didn''t know how to describe his mood at this time. He coughed and asked, "there''s nothing else?"


    Specially asked the assistant to call and make an appointment with him. When he came, he just approached him?


    "I''m just boring, so Dr. Xilin doesn''t care about me. You''re busy with you and we''re busy chatting." Sheng Qian didn''t see it at all.


    Xilin Yue shook his head helplessly. He was not playing. How could he chat while busy? However, Sheng Qian refused to say the purpose of his visit. He had no way, so he sorted out the cases by himself.


    Sheng Qian looked left and right for a moment. Suddenly, he saw a stack of case plans on the table. There was a book with Sheng Liang''s name written on the mark. He immediately pulled it out and asked, "this is my third brother''s?"


    Xilin Yue heard his voice and immediately looked up. When he saw that Sheng Qian had opened it, he quickly took it back: "no, it''s just the same name."


    It was careless of him to forget this and let Sheng Qian see it.


    "The same name?" Sheng Qian''s eyes narrowed. I''m afraid Sheng Liang is the only one to call this name in sangcheng. Moreover, if it''s only the same name, why is Xilin Yue so nervous, "don''t worry, I won''t say it. Tell me, what''s the matter with my third brother?"


    He just saw a few words of foreign bodies in his brain and looked at it with a very serious feeling.


    Xilin Yue lowered his eyes: "I promised him I wouldn''t tell anyone."


    Sheng Qian was a little anxious: "you''re really strange. He himself is a patient. He knows it. As a doctor, you refuse to tell your family. In case he has something, are you responsible?"


    "This..." Xilin Yue didn''t know what to say for a moment. In truth, this kind of thing should really inform the family members, at least let them have a psychological preparation. After all, if Sheng Liang loses consciousness at that time, he still needs the family members to sign for surgery.


    Moreover, what Sheng Liang told him at that time was not to tell Qiao Xuan, so he told Sheng Qian that it was not against Sheng Liang''s wishes.


    Seeing that Xilin Yue''s expression was a little shaken, Sheng Qian hurriedly asked, "tell me, what''s the matter with my third brother?"


    Xilin Yue sighed, slowly opened the case and said in a deep voice, "he has been put a neurotoxin in his brain. If the drug membrane wrapped with neurotoxin is damaged, he will... Nerve damage."


    Although Xilin Yue didn''t dare to say the word death, Sheng Qian was not stupid. He immediately understood what it meant. He frowned and said, "who is so cruel?"


    No wonder Sheng Liang has been wrong these days and suddenly decides to go abroad with Qiao Xuan. He''s afraid he won''t have a chance in the future.


    "Is there no... Solution?" although he didn''t have a good relationship with Sheng Liang in the past, he admired Sheng Liang in the bottom of his heart, not to mention now. He didn''t expect such a strong person to encounter such a thing.


    Xilin Yue''s expression was gloomy: "I thought of several surgical schemes, but I couldn''t take out the drug film under the condition of ensuring that he would not be affected, so I''m studying now how to keep the drug film from being damaged."


    "Have you studied it?"


    Xilin Yue shook his head: "I have no clue. I wanted to ask him what would stimulate his headache every time, but he went abroad."


    Sheng Qian still believes in Xilin Yue''s medical skills. Didn''t he cure Qiao Xuan before? If he can''t help it, he doesn''t have to count on it.


    When he came out of the hospital, Sheng Qian''s mood was a little complicated. He even forgot his original intention to see Xilin Yue. It seems that he should learn to be alone. At least he can''t let Sheng Liang bother so much. Maybe Sheng Liang caused a headache because he worked too hard.


    Sheng Qian went directly back to the company. He went to find Xu Yi. Obviously, Xu Yi knew more than him.


    "Xu Yi, I ask you, has the third brother always let you and Roger in zhaxilinfu before?" Sheng Qian asked bluntly.

 Chapter 350

    Xu Yi didn''t know what he was doing when he asked, nor did he hastily answer: "what does the four young want to know?"


    "I want to know what weakness Xilin Fu has." he must not be Xilin Fu''s opponent, but he can be crooked.


    Xilin Fu''s weakness, I''m afraid, is Qiao Xuan. Besides, he really doesn''t know what Xilin Fu will worry about.


    But Xu Yi didn''t dare to say that. He just asked, "why do the four young people ask this?"


    "I said you, I said it so clearly. Don''t you understand? I think you are very smart in front of my third brother. How can you become stupid as soon as you get here? I asked why. Of course, I want to find a way to get our land back."


    Xu Yi looked at him like a monster: "do you still need to rob? Xilin Fu is bluff, and the land bureau is not opened by their family. With the strength of Lanxi now, it is impossible to compete with us. Not to mention, Xilin is still banned. Whether he is a murderer has not been decided. Who will stand on his side."


    Sheng Qian succeeded and choked: "what do you mean?"


    "It means that we don''t have to do anything, just watch Xilin Fu sing a monologue." before Sheng Qian understood, Xu Yi smiled, "I just received a call from the chairman. That''s what he told me. I think he should have other arrangements."


    Sheng Liang gave them peace of mind to go to the theatre. Did he have plans for it? So, in fact, this matter has long been under Sheng Liang''s control?


    Sheng qianzhen thinks Sheng Liang is terrible. Even if he is far away, he can look at the whole situation.


    But on the contrary, Sheng Liang wants to do this because he knows that his ability is insufficient, so he wants to help him eliminate the threat before he leaves.


    Sheng Qian sighed deeply. Now he knows what it means to hate less when books come to use.


    "What''s the third brother''s plan? You have to tell me so I can deal with it." Sheng Qian said in a tone obviously different from that just now.


    "Have enemies in front and rear fire in the west," said the chairman. "If four people are very idle, they can go to the rear courtyard of Xilin to ignite the fire."


    Sheng Qian was stunned unconsciously. I''m afraid Sheng Liang had expected this reaction, so let''s follow his meaning.


    His brother really knows him.


    As expected, Sheng Qian lived up to Sheng Liang''s expectations. With a million shares, he succeeded in splitting the worthless sons of the Xilin family, and then blamed Xilin Fu for their mistakes.


    The ladies are even more worried. They go to Xilin Fu''s office every day and quarrel about separation.


    Xilin Fu naturally won''t agree. At this time, if they divide their property first, it will weaken Lanxi''s strength and make it easier to compete with the prosperous times.


    Xilin Fu''s solution to this problem is to kidnap his nephews and nieces and tell his brothers that whoever wants to separate from him will kill his son!


    If it had been in the past, these words would have frightened several losers, but now Xilin Fu is under the eyes of the police. If he dares to kill, he will be arrested immediately. Several brothers have no fear at all.


    Moreover, Sheng Qian is still fanning the flames behind him. In addition to making the Xilin family more chaotic, he has no deterrent at all.


    But Xilin Fu seemed to be determined to take down the land. No matter what happened at home, he still refused to let go.


    Sheng Qian lay in bed and sighed: "what does Xilin Fu want to do with that land? Their family doesn''t do real estate. Can we plant flowers and plants in that place in the western suburbs?"


    Zhao Xiaowei, wearing Sheng Qian''s shirt, stuffed the cut apple into his mouth: "I don''t know if I can plant flowers and plants. I heard that Xilin Fu has been in frequent contact with a foreigner recently, and it''s very secret."


    "Secret?" Sheng Qian smiled. "How can you know the secret?"


    "I''ll tell you a secret," Zhao Xiaowei said to Sheng Qian. "Do you know the identity of the Hong Kong man who invested in our new film?"


    Sheng Qian thought for a moment and said, "the eldest son of Hong Kong Linghua industry?"


    "Don''t you know what Linghua industry started on." Zhao Xiaowei''s look was also deep. "Sometimes I really don''t want to believe that those people are doing dirty activities behind their brilliance."


    Sheng Qian''s heart sank and immediately sat up: "do you mean they want to make up with Xilin?"


    "When I went back to the hotel yesterday, when I passed by the lobby, I overheard that the eldest son of Ling Hua told the foreigner that Xilin Fu wanted the land in the western suburbs, probably to build a factory." Zhao Xiaowei looked at Sheng Qian''s more and more serious expression and asked, "do you think Xilin Fu came to the prosperous age?"


    "It''s not what I think, it must be!" Sheng Qian said firmly, and then sighed. "It''s really troublesome. I wanted to show myself while my third brother was away. Who knows that I should encounter such a difficult thing."


    "Chairman, they''ve been away for nearly half a month. Should they come back soon?" Zhao Xiaowei asked. She knew that Sheng Qian couldn''t handle these things.


    Sheng Qian seemed to mutter to himself, "I hope they can stay there for a few more days."


    It''s better to come back when he solves Xilin.


    Sheng Qian went to the studio the next day and met the eldest son of Ling Hua, Guo Mao. In fact, everyone knows that Guo Mao invested in their play because of a little actress of the 18th line. The actress looks very ordinary and has no acting skills. However, Guo Mao asked her to be the second girl, changed their original script into a mess, and even caused public anger on the Internet.


    But I don''t know why Sheng Liang, who has always paid attention to quality, agreed.


    When Sheng Qian went, Guo Mao was flirting with the little actress in the dressing room, acting as close as two conjoined babies.


    Sheng Qian deliberately dropped a glass vase outside and separated them. When the little actress saw him, she immediately looked like a flower maniac: "Sheng Sishao, is that you?"


    "It''s me, Lu Youyou, isn''t it? I specially came to visit the class. This is for you." when Sheng Qian smiled, people and animals were harmless. He stretched out his hand and handed her a rose folded outside.


    Lu youyou''s face immediately seemed to be stained with two red clouds. He shyly picked it up and said, "thank you, four young." then he ran out.


    Seeing such a picture, Guo Mao was naturally hostile to Sheng Qian and said with a black face, "Sheng Sishao, what do you mean, can''t you see that she is the woman I like!"


    "Ang, I really didn''t see it. I don''t know." Sheng Qian looked innocent.

 Chapter 351

    Guo Mao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but he couldn''t say anything. He got up and wanted to go out.


    "Mr. Guo, let''s talk." Sheng Qian still said with a smile, which didn''t make people feel that he had any purpose.


    Guo Maoming was in a hurry to go out and chase Lu youyou. He was too lazy to break with him: "I don''t know you well. What can I talk about?"


    "Yes, for example -" Sheng Qian stopped deliberately, turned back and looked at Guo Mao, "Ling Hua''s inheritance right."


    Guo Mao''s expression immediately changed: "what did you say?"


    "There are many people in this place. Let''s talk in another place." Sheng Qian took the lead to go out.


    He was confident that Guo Mao would catch up, so he waited in the car early. Sure enough, Guo Mao then came up: "where to go?"


    "Our Shengshi Hotel," said Sheng Qian.


    There was something else in Sheng Qian''s smile, chill or threat. Guo Mao didn''t know, but he regretted it. Sheng Qian was not as simple as he thought.


    But the driver had closed the door, and it was too late for him to regret.


    When they arrived at the hotel, Sheng Qian went first and made an invitation to Guo Mao.


    Guo Mao went in and saw someone inside. He immediately looked back at Sheng Qian: "who are they?"


    "Oh, let me introduce you. Xu Yi, Roger, the right and left arm of my third brother, are all very good." Sheng Qian seemed to deliberately put the last sentence very seriously.


    "What do you mean?" Guo Mao realized that he had fallen into a trap, but he still stubbornly asked.


    Before Sheng Qian answered, Roger said first, "it''s no fun. Just ask eldest childe Guo to stay here for a few days. We will be responsible for protecting your safety."


    What protection, this is clearly kidnapping!


    Guo Mao didn''t care. He turned and was about to go out, but Xu Yi seemed to have expected that he had stood at the door and blocked his way.


    "What do you want to do? Don''t you know who I am?" Guo Mao said angrily.


    Sheng Qian sat on the sofa with his legs folded: "of course I know who you are. I also know that you don''t like so many beautiful female stars. You just want to soak in a small 18 line street, and still grow like that. How can you talk about your taste?"


    "What does this have to do with you!" although Guo Mao''s tone was tough, he was obviously a little guilty, and a cold sweat loomed on his forehead.


    "It''s a big relationship," Sheng Qian stood up and walked towards him. He said in a low voice, "this woman is not simple. I heard that she is an illegitimate daughter of Yilin society. Her father probably doesn''t know her identity yet. The eldest childe is really good-looking."


    Guo Mao''s face immediately turned gray: "how can you know?"


    How could he know or see what their third brother does? Xu Yi and Roger are not vegetarians. It''s not easy to find a secret from one person.


    "Don''t worry about it," Sheng Qian smiled. "I invited the eldest childe here mainly to talk about business with you."


    "What kind of business, our family does not do real estate, and the media is not involved." Guo Mao''s attitude is not as rigid as just now.


    "I heard that Mr. John, you helped Xilin pull the line?" Sheng Qian asked knowingly.


    Guo Maoli immediately understood: "Xilin Fu? So you want me to help you deal with Xilin Fu."


    "How can I ask you to help me? It''s our cooperation." Sheng Qian said, "I''ll help you keep Lu youyou''s secret. You''ll help me destroy the deal between Xilin Fu and John. How about you don''t suffer."


    Guo Mao''s chest fluctuated and looked at Sheng Qian, but his mind turned several times.


    He really doesn''t suffer. No matter what, the business between Xilin Fu and John has nothing to do with him. He''s just a middleman.


    But Lu youyou''s identity can never be known by others in the family. Now Ling Hua just looks beautiful on the outside, but he has long been vulnerable inside. Whoever wants to get the inheritance right depends on the huge power of the people behind him.


    His mother came from an ordinary family and couldn''t help him. The only way was marriage.


    He also inadvertently learned that the leader of Yilin club has not married yet because he loved a woman when he was young, but the woman disappeared after he had a relationship with the leader.


    As like as two peas, he found that the woman had already died. But she had left a daughter. The daughter was the same as the big leader of the Yilin city. So he had no doubt. Lu You Yu was the great Miss Yilin.


    As the son-in-law of the big leader, he is afraid that Yilin will support him.


    But apart from him, only the private detective he hired knows about it, but hasn''t that guy been killed by him? How can Sheng Qian know about it?


    But now, there is no time to think about this. First, we should stabilize Sheng Qian, otherwise once the news is spread, his plan will fall short of success.


    "How can I trust you? What if I do what you say, but you go back on your word?" Guo Mao said with a retreat.


    "It''s simple," Sheng Qian took out a recording pen and gave it to him. "Now you can record what we said and let my third brother listen. If I break my promise, you''ll ruin my reputation and make me unable to get a foothold in sangcheng."


    In fact, he said a lot of empty words. Just because he didn''t mean what he said, it really didn''t have any impact on him, and it was even more impossible to lose his reputation.


    But he deliberately left a loophole, that is, Sheng Liang. Everyone knows that Sheng Liang is the master of Shengshi, and he makes his own decisions here. If this thing fails, he will become the scapegoat of Shengshi and be kicked out of the company by Sheng Liang.


    Guo Mao was fooled. He took the recorder and said, "OK, I promised you. Go ahead. What do you want me to do?"


    "Tell Mr. John to let him sell me all the goods for Xilin Fu, but I don''t want anything, as long as he changes the goods traded with Xilin Fu into what I prepare." Sheng Qian said quickly.


    Guo Mao couldn''t believe it: "you mean, you only pay, and John can sell it to others?"


    So John can buy two copies of the same goods.


    Sheng Qian snapped his fingers: "yes, that''s right. I don''t think Mr. John will refuse."


    For businessmen, the partner is not important. As long as they can make money, no matter who the buyer is.


    Guo Mao nodded, "OK, I''ll contact John."


    Sheng Qian smiled and exchanged glances with Xu Yi and Roger.

 Chapter 352

    Although Guo Mao agreed, they didn''t let him go. Even if Guo Mao didn''t take a commission from John, he could at least get a favor. How can he pay a price.


    When leaving the hotel and driving back, Sheng Liang sent him a video call. He hesitated and answered.


    "Why do you think of me today? Isn''t France fun?" Sheng Qian pulled his hair in front of the camera.


    Sheng Liang is still unsmiling: "I''ve heard about Guo Mao. Your reaction is very fast and worthy of praise."


    Sheng Qian didn''t expect his head and feet to leave. Xu Yi and their hind feet reported to Sheng Liang. These two people are really loyal.


    "Even if it''s verbal, can there be some substantive reward?" Sheng Qian said with a bad smile.


    "I''ll give it to you when you get married." Sheng Liang''s mouth is slightly hooked.


    Even he and Zhao Xiaowei said it together. Sheng Qian secretly scolded the two big mouths in his heart.


    Originally, he wanted to make fun of Sheng''s cool body. Sheng Qian mercifully let him go and asked, "they should have told you about my plan. Do you think there''s a problem?"


    "No problem. You can do it yourself. You don''t have to ask my advice on everything. You always have to be on your own." Sheng Liang said faintly.


    Hearing his words, Sheng Qian was inexplicably sad. Now there are only two of their four brothers left, but even Sheng Liang has become like this. Does he really want to support the prosperity by himself in the future? He really can''t do it.


    "I see. You have fun there. Come back early when you''ve had enough, or I won''t be responsible for the destruction of the prosperity." Sheng Qian said deliberately. He hung up before Sheng Liang could say anything more.


    They won''t say anything. Sheng Qian is just afraid that he can''t help exposing his emotions. Since Sheng Liang doesn''t want them to know, he pretends not to know.


    Sheng Liang looked at the hung up call and was stunned for a while. He didn''t put his cell phone away until he felt Qiao Xuan coming.


    "Didn''t Sheng Qian get into trouble?" Qiao Xuan asked. She knew Sheng Qian''s temper very well. She used to be careless. Now she suddenly handed over everything in the company to him. It''s good not to pick a pick.


    Sheng Liang smiled, took her in his arms and said, "that boy seems to be very motivated. Gorgeous, if Xiao Si can take over the company, we won''t go back, okay?"


    Although I don''t know why Sheng Liang is so lazy all of a sudden, Qiao Xuan certainly doesn''t want him to be so tired. She really hurts to death when she saw his unbearable headache the other day.


    "We are now a legal couple. Of course I listen to you. Go wherever you say." Qiao Xuan nestled in his arms, closed her eyes and listened to his heartbeat.


    Sheng Liang held her tighter and kissed her hair spoiled.


    Since he came to Paris, his head has not hurt any more, so he knows that his previous guess is right. As long as he is no longer exposed to that smell, he will not have a headache and should not lead to the rupture of things in his head.


    If so, he would like to live like this with Qiao Xuan. He is far away from sang city. Xilin doesn''t see them anymore. He shouldn''t go to trouble with others.


    As they were talking, they heard someone knocking at the door outside. They looked at each other and were somewhat vigilant.


    It shouldn''t be room service time now. Breakfast has already passed, but lunch hasn''t arrived yet. Isn''t it strange to come to them at this time?


    Despite this, Sheng Liang went to the door and asked in French who it was.


    A female voice said she was the waiter here and said that someone at the front desk was looking for Mr. Sheng.


    Sheng liang thought, it should be the staff of the branch. Although he hasn''t said hello to the people here, Roger''s so careful person may tell them.


    Sheng Liang said to Qiao Xuan and went downstairs. As the waiter went to the front desk, he saw two familiar figures in the distance. For a moment, he couldn''t move.


    Across the stream of people, people in wheelchairs also saw him. His eyes were full of too many emotions, but even when he approached, the man only slightly affected the corners of his mouth: "why don''t you speak, dumb?"


    "Dad, aunt Xun." these two names were exported, and Sheng Lianggang''s heart finally settled down.


    Xun Hui looked at Sheng Tianhao and said in a reproachful tone, "what are you doing? I haven''t seen you for so long, so I can''t talk well."


    Sheng Tianhao took a deep breath, then slowed down and said, "I heard Xiao Si say that you and Qiao Xuan are married and don''t even tell us?"


    "I just got a certificate and I''ll let you know when I plan to have a wedding." Sheng Liang stood in front of Sheng Tianhao with incomparable respect.


    "Do you have children?" Sheng Tianhao asked again, and there was more light in his eyes.


    Sheng Liang nodded: "well, it''s a boy. His nickname is Nian."


    Sheng Tianhao finally smiled and looked back at Xun Hui: "great, I have grandchildren."


    Xun Hui also smiled at Sheng Liang and said, "is the child asleep now? It''s inconvenient for us to have a look?"


    "Of course." Sheng Liang quickly got out of the way, walked behind Sheng Tianhao and said to Xun Hui, "let me push it, aunt, have a rest."


    Xun Hui did not refuse, but naturally walked aside and walked side by side with them.


    "I just had a video call with Xiao Si. He is doing well now. Even if I am not here, there is no problem at all." Sheng Liang said to Xun Hui intentionally or unintentionally.


    Xun Hui knows what he means. Since Sheng Tianhao was injured in the fire, the company has been taken care of by Sheng Liang. He must be afraid of his own opinion on this, so he deliberately avoided suspicion.


    Xun Hui sighed: "Xiao Qian, I know him best. He''s not stupid and has a lot of crooked ideas, but he always doesn''t like to be bound. It''s OK to let him do a casual job in the company and let him manage the company seriously. So, Xiao Liang, you don''t have to worry about me. My aunt won''t do the stupid things before and argue with you. I just want our family to be safe and happy now That''s enough. "


    Xunhui''s words, Sheng Liang doesn''t doubt the authenticity. If Xunhui really wants Sheng Qian to seize power, she just needs to tell Sheng Tianhao, but they left for more than a year. She never mentioned these requirements, but she treated him better than before.


    "Thank you, aunt." Sheng Liang drooped his eyes. Although Xun Hui didn''t want it, the situation has changed. Even if Sheng Qian chased the duck to the shelf, he can only harden his scalp.


    But he didn''t say it. Now is not the time.


    When they arrived at the door of the room, Sheng Liang opened the door with the room card, led them in, and shouted to Qiao Xuan inside, "look who''s coming, gorgeous son."


    Qiao Xuan came out with the child in her arms and was stunned to see Sheng Tianhao and Xun Hui: "Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng?"

 Chapter 353

    Sheng Tianhao frowned. Xun Hui smiled and reminded Qiao Xuan: "it''s all a family. Should we change our mouth?"


    Qiao Xuan reacted and shouted, "Dad, aunt."


    Seeing Sheng Tianhao''s eyebrows stretched, Xun Hui answered on his behalf, then walked over, looked at the little man in Qiao Xuan''s arms, stuffed a small box into Qiao Xuan''s hand and said, "this is a little intention of your father and me. It''s a gift for the child."


    Qiao Xuan instinctively wants to refuse and hears Sheng Liang say, "take it."


    She said, "thank you, aunt."


    Sheng Tianhao has been pushed to the tea table by Sheng Liang. Looking at Sheng Liang, he said, "we just come out to play. You really think we''re dead and don''t tell us anything."


    It''s too much that he didn''t even drink the child''s full moon wine.


    Sheng Liang lowered his head and looked like he knew he was wrong: "yes, I was wrong."


    In fact, I can''t blame him. At that time, he couldn''t find Qiao Xuan for more than a year. When he found it, he had more children. He hadn''t digested it yet. He was in a hurry to make full moon wine for his children, and there was such a dangerous thing. Where do you remember to inform them.


    Moreover, the time was so tight that even if they were notified, they might not be able to come back. Why bother them.


    Sheng Tianhao thought he would refute a few words and even thought of scolding him, but he just admitted his mistake and didn''t know what to say. He was a little suffocating.


    Qiao Xuan saw that the father and son were speechless for a long time and said to them, "I see they have go here. Do you want to play chess?"


    Sheng Liang immediately said, "well, good."


    Qiao Xuan asked the front desk to send up a game of go, but she didn''t understand this, so she teased the children with Xun Hui.


    "This little thing looks like Xiao Liang," Xun Hui said with a sigh.


    Qiao Xuan smiled: "everyone says so."


    After seeing a little sadness in Xun Hui''s eyes, Qiao Xuan asked carefully, "does aunt want to be Sheng Qian?"


    "Why not? We''ve been out for almost a year and a half. Where have I left him for such a long time before?" Xun Hui sighed.


    Qiao Xuan looked at the two men playing chess and whispered to Xun Hui, "is it the old man who doesn''t want to go back? Why?"


    Xun Hui shook his head: "he just said he wanted to train them both, but I think he may have other ideas."


    What idea is more important than meeting your son?


    Qiao Xuan looked at them and heard Sheng Liang say, "Dad, go back with us this time. It''s too hard for my aunt to take care of you alone. You go back, Xiao Si and I can take care of you."


    "Take care of?" Sheng Tianhao snorted like a child and said, "I''m not old. I don''t need your care."


    "But you''re out alone. We''re very worried." Sheng Liang said again.


    "It''s all right. We''re fine. Don''t worry about it." Sheng Tianhao stared at the chessboard. "You concentrate on playing chess and don''t think about anything else."


    They didn''t have a few words. When he said so, Sheng Liang didn''t dare to say anything.


    Looking at them, Qiao Xuan and Xun Hui both turned their heads and looked at each other. After a while, Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Tianhao''s actions and felt more and more like a child. He whispered to Xun Hui, "what do you do every day?"


    "He didn''t do anything. He didn''t want to go out. He just read the newspaper in the hotel."


    "Well..." Qiao Xuan guessed, "Dad, is he... A precursor of Alzheimer''s disease?"


    Xunhui was stunned when he heard this. Was it true that he didn''t want to go back, but didn''t want to be a burden to his two sons?


    Or, if he cares about them every day, he can still remember them. Once they are near, he is afraid that he will forget them soon?


    Xun Hui felt sad and ashamed that she had misunderstood Sheng Tianhao before.


    Until the two people over there finished a game, no one spoke again, but they thought something in their hearts.


    When they were leaving, Qiao Xuan said, "when we go back, you can go with us. We can''t rest assured that you are outside like this."


    Sheng Tianhao seemed to peek at Sheng Liang. Seeing that Sheng Liang nodded, he proudly raised his chin and said, "let me think about it."


    After sending them away, Sheng Liang came to Qiao Xuan and asked in a low voice, "do you see it, too?"


    Qiao Xuan knew that Sheng Liang also knew. She nodded, "he''s waiting for you to say let them go back."


    Sheng Liang sighed: "I''m too unfilial. I didn''t notice it for such a long time. I should have said it earlier."


    Qiao Xuan hugged him and comforted him, "we will be filial to him in the future."


    Sheng Liang nodded and held Qiao Xuan tightly.


    Sangcheng, mohai.


    Sheng Qian hides in the dark and watches Xilin Fuqin at the wharf staring at his goods. The workers at the wharf are loading and unloading goods in an orderly manner.


    After a while, a group of policemen, led by Xiao Feng, came up and surrounded the goods and began unpacking inspection.


    Sheng Qian saw Xilin Fu''s panic in the distance. He smiled to himself: "I can''t scare you to death."


    The buyer of the goods was certainly not Xilin Fu. The man was immediately arrested and was still shouting injustice.


    "Xiao, these seem to be fake!" someone shouted.


    "Fake?" Xiao Feng went over and looked. Sure enough, all those boxes were toy guns.


    Is someone reporting a fake case, or does the person reporting the case not know that you are fake guns?


    "They are all toys. Can you let me go now?" the arrested man shouted.


    "Maybe it''s just your cover up. Take it back for a strict trial!" Xiao Feng ordered.


    Seeing that the police had gone, Xilin Fu came out of the dark. Those boxes were carried away by the police. He wanted to see what was going on. He couldn''t help it.


    But obviously, that John fooled him!


    Looking at his angry appearance, Sheng Qian was funny. Now there''s a play. Let their dog bite the dog.


    Anyway, the person who contacted John was Guo Mao. That guy is still detained in the hotel, and others don''t know that he is also involved. Xilin Fu can''t doubt him anyway.


    John took the money and sold Xilin fake goods. He really sold them to others. It''s enough for the two people to fight back.


    After watching the play, Sheng Qian withdrew silently and was about to leave when he got in the car. Unexpectedly, a man sat up in the back seat of the car and pointed a gun at him: "so you''re playing tricks!"


    The voice was dark and hoarse. Even if he had not been in direct contact with him, Sheng Qian knew that the voice was Xilin Fu.


    No, he was so elated just now that he didn''t find out when Xilin Fu was gone, and he hid in his car.


    Sheng Qian raised his hands and said with a smile, "misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I don''t know what you mean."

 Chapter 354

    "You changed my goods!" Xilin Fu was obviously very angry and roared with gnashing teeth.


    "Goods? What goods?" Sheng Qian continued to pretend to be a fool and suddenly said, "I don''t understand what you said, but I''ve seen the man arrested by the police just now. He''s your man? But how can I see that he seems very close to a foreigner? Oh, it''s not close. It should be said that he has a close relationship."


    "Foreigner?" the hand holding Sheng Qian''s collar slowly loosened.


    He knows better than anyone that the seller Guo Mao helped him with is a foreigner named John. Does it mean that John came for him from the beginning!


    Seeing that he no longer dragged himself, Sheng Qian slowly moved his head to the side, avoided his hand and said, "these foreigners are really annoying. I heard that they often sell two goods. They really can do business!"


    Xilin''s recovery was already angry about the fake goods. Now when he heard Sheng Qian say so, he immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car to ask John for clarification.


    Sheng Qian looked at him in the car. When he walked out of a certain distance, he took out his mobile phone and called Guo Mao: "you should quickly inform John to let him run away. Xilin is fake. I have to find him to settle accounts."


    Guo Mao completely didn''t expect what Sheng Qian was thinking. Although he didn''t understand why he wanted John to run away, Sheng Qian''s tone was very urgent, and he knew about John selling two goods, so he listened to Sheng Qian and called John.


    Sheng Qian finished the phone call and hurriedly left the wharf. In case Xilin reacts, he will be miserable.


    As for the later events, he saw them in the news. To his surprise, Xilin Fu was so powerful that John and his men, a group of crazy arms smugglers, were killed by Xilin Fu.


    Of course, the news only said that a group of internationally wanted smugglers were killed, and did not mention Xilin Fu''s name. I think Xilin Fu also did a very hidden job.


    They should have fought directly. They don''t have time to ask each other for details. It''s estimated that they don''t have such leisure. So up to now, Xilin Fu doesn''t know that there is something about Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Qian felt a little pity. He originally wanted to use this thing to kill people with a knife. Who knew that the foreigners were so unprepared.


    It seems that he has to think of another way.


    He wandered to the hotel. As soon as Guo Mao saw him, his eyes widened: "Sheng Qian, what are you doing and how John died!"


    Sheng Qian looked at Xu Yi and Roger: "you two indulged him so much and watched TV."


    Xu Yi said quietly, "it''s boring enough in this room. If you don''t watch TV, you''ll be crazy."


    Sheng Qian didn''t say anything more. He sat down on the sofa and sighed, "although it''s a pity, those people also deserve to die. I''m indirectly doing harm to the people."


    He suddenly leaned forward and stared at Guo Mao: "you said that Xilin Fu robbed me of the land in the western suburbs to build a factory, what factory, an arsenal?"


    Guo Mao was silent.


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t say it now. Anyway, you have said it once. In the lobby of Xinjing Hotel, someone heard the chat between you and John, and there is monitoring in the lobby. If I pass the picture to Xilin Fu and find someone to read your lips, what do you think Xilin Fu will do to you?"


    "Sheng Qian!" Guo Mao stood up, "what the hell are you doing!"


    "Then I''ll tell you what I''m going to do," Sheng Qian said. "In sangcheng, Shengshi and Lanxi are irreconcilable, so what I want to do is to remove Xilin Fu from my eyes. It''s best not to appear again forever. Is this beneficial and harmless to Mr. Guo?"


    Guo maomeng gasped: "I don''t understand what you mean. You detained me here for the transaction between John and Xilin Fu. Now John is dead. Should you let me go!"


    Sheng Qian shook his head: "now you can''t let him go. How dangerous it is for you to go out. Xilin reappears as a mad dog. Who bites whom? You led him. As a result, he was cheated. Do you think he can let you go?"


    No, that''s for sure. Guo Mao was speechless for a moment.


    "Now, let me tell you what to do. I''ll announce Lu youyou''s identity now and let the leader of Yilin Club recognize her. Then Lu youyou asks Yilin club for help and says Xilin Fu wants to kill you. In this way, Yilin will naturally go after Xilin Fu. We don''t have to do anything. Just watch him die. What do you think?"


    Although Guo Mao is used to fighting and killing, and his hands have not been stained with blood, listening to these words speak quietly from Sheng Qian''s mouth, he feels that the young man is simply too terrible. He clearly wants to kill, but he can stay out of the matter unharmed.


    He understood that Sheng Qian wanted to bring Yilin society in, that is, to drag him into the water, so that he would not expose Sheng Qian after he went out.


    This man''s abacus is really not an ordinary skill.


    But at present, he really has no other way. His power is in Hong Kong, and even if he can get it, when their family is in a mess, I''m afraid those people want him to have an accident.


    Guo Mao sighed: "well, that''s all I have to do. However, so far, Lu youyou hasn''t had to marry me. I''m afraid she won''t plead for me."


    Sheng Qian blinked: "don''t worry, give it to me."


    There''s no woman he can''t handle yet, eh... It seems there is. Qiao Xuan hasn''t done it yet.


    However, on the noon when he asked Lu youyou to have dinner, he happened to meet Zhao Xiaowei. Especially at that time, his hand was still on Lu youyou''s shoulder, and Lu youyou blushed like an apple.


    Zhao Xiaowei looked at him and saw that he quickly took his hand away and sat upright. She asked her friend to go first, also leaned over and sat down, smiled and looked at Lu youyou: "what''s your name? We don''t seem to have met on the set."


    Although it''s female one and female two, so far, they haven''t played against each other. Zhao Xiaowei made a lot of announcements and left immediately after shooting her. They really haven''t met yet.


    However, when Zhao Xiaowei said so, he was still mocking Sheng Qian''s taste. Was he hungry?


    Lu youyou is modest. Although Guo Mao covers her and there are so many attacks on her, she doesn''t comment and doesn''t put on airs in front of the staff.


    Especially at this moment, seeing Zhao Xiaowei, he was really worshipped by his predecessors. He quickly said, "my name is Lu youyou. I like teacher Zhao''s play very much."


    When people say so, Zhao Xiaowei has no place to spread his anger, so he can only take his eyes and glance at Sheng Qian.

 Chapter 355

    Sheng Qian coughed softly and said to Lu Youyou, "remember what I just said. Do as I say, okay?"


    His tone was very gentle and his face looked like a gentle childe. Lu youyou listened to his voice and his face became more red, so he just nodded.


    After watching Lu youyou leave, Sheng Qian sighed with relief, turned to Zhao Xiaowei, smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"


    It feels like being caught on the spot!


    Zhao Xiaowei just smiled, stood up and walked out.


    Sheng Qian was startled, hurriedly ran after her, grabbed her arm and said, "can you listen to me explain?"


    "I''m not you. You don''t have to explain to me!" Zhao Xiaowei''s tone was obviously angry.


    Seeing that she had to go, Sheng Qian suddenly picked her up: "you''re still excited, aren''t you!"


    When did he need to explain to a woman before? Now explain it to her, and she even shook his face!


    He directly took her into the car. Sheng Qian didn''t go to the driver''s seat, but then followed her into the back row, closed the door, and pressed her on the seat: "Zhao Xiaowei, you try again!"


    I don''t know if I was frightened by him. Zhao Xiaowei didn''t push him again. The two people just stared at each other up and down.


    "I''m looking for Lu youyou for business, not what you think." Sheng Qian explained.


    Zhao Xiaowei sniffed: "do you think I will believe it? Business needs to make people blush, business needs to be carried around, business needs to use a beautiful man''s plan, and your voice is so gentle? You''ve never been so gentle when you talk to me."


    It turned out that he cared about this. Sheng Qian smiled, bowed his head, kissed her on the lips, and whispered, "we all talk in bed. It''s too gentle. I''m afraid you''re not satisfied."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s face turned red: "hooligan! Who let you say this!"


    Sheng Qian smiled, with curved eyebrows and eyes, but a little less cunning: "if you want me to be gentle when doing things in the future, I can do it, but in that case, it''s really exhausting."


    Seeing that he was endless, Zhao Xiaowei couldn''t help knocking on his head: "can you still have a normal shape!"


    Sheng Qian stopped talking. He straightened up and pulled Zhao Xiaowei up. He seemed very tired. He leaned against her shoulder, closed his eyes and said, "now I can realize that it''s not easy for my third brother to plan strategies. It''s really not suitable for me."


    Looking at his tired face, Zhao Xiaowei touched his hair painfully: "if you''re tired, go to sleep. I''m fine today anyway. I''ll be your human pillow."


    Sheng Qian rubbed her shoulder a few times, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.


    Zhao Xiaowei turned to look at him, gathered his clothes, and held his hand all the time. For fear of waking him, he sat there all the time.


    But he didn''t sleep long. Sheng Qian suddenly woke up. Seeing Zhao Xiaowei, he quickly took her hand and asked, "is your arm numb?"


    Zhao Xiaowei rubbed twice: "it''s a little numb. If you''re still sleepy, go home and sleep. You can''t sleep well in the car."


    Sheng Qian rubbed her arm and said, "don''t sleep. There are still a lot of things waiting for me in the company."


    "Shall I drive you there?"


    Sheng Qian nodded.


    Zhao Xiaowei drove the car to the door of Shengshi and watched Sheng Qian go in. She pressed the window. When she was ready to reverse, she looked at the rear-view mirror outside the car and found that there was a car behind her, which seemed to be following her, but when she looked over, the car drove away quickly.


    Maybe she''s too worried.


    As soon as Sheng Qian entered the office, min Lu said to him, "good news, four young people, Lanxi withdrew, and the land in the western suburbs is ours."


    "That''s ours," Sheng Qian said. "By the way, now that the land has been approved, let the planning department seize the time to make a publicity map and strive for a large-scale sales activity before the Tanabata Festival."


    "OK." it''s rare for minlu to see Sheng Qian so positive. He was also very happy and went to inform him immediately.


    He glanced at the computer on his desk. It showed the trend of today''s stock market, and Lanxi''s share price fell by several percentage points. If it went on like this, Lanxi would have to declare bankruptcy in less than half a year.


    I don''t know what Xilin Fu is thinking. It seems that he doesn''t care about the company at all, but is busy building an arsenal.


    I really don''t understand.


    Lu youyou''s identity was announced through the disclosure of well-known media people. Although it seems that there is no talk to the general public, because the Mainlanders have no concept of Hong Kong Yilin club, and do not know what organization it is and how powerful it is.


    However, Lu youyou soon called Sheng Qian and said that Wu Jiansheng, the leader of Yilin club, had contacted her, and someone had been arranged there to give Lu youyou a paternity test.


    Sheng Qian said, still in a very gentle tone, "Youyou, you don''t have to be afraid. You''re finally going to find your biological father. You should be happy. Paternity testing must be done. This is not to doubt you, but to affirm you more, okay?"


    "Yes," Lu youyou whispered, "four little, but I''m still a little afraid. Can you go with me?"


    Thinking of being suspected by Zhao Xiaowei that day, Sheng Qian didn''t dare to promise casually. He just said, "let me see. If I have time --"


    "You must come, or I won''t go." Lu youyou interrupted him and insisted.


    "All right." Sheng Qian had to promise. Things had progressed to this point. It was impossible to stop because of this little thing. Zhao Xiaowei had to coax her again.


    Wu Jiansheng made an appointment the next morning. Sheng Qian accompanied Lu youyou. Seeing more than a dozen people in the other party, all in black suits and burly men, Sheng Qian was also glad to accompany Lu Youyou, otherwise he would really scare the little girl.


    Among these people, there are confidants around Wu Jiansheng. When you see Lu Youyou, you can be sure that she is Wu Jiansheng''s biological daughter. It''s not wrong, because they look too much alike, but to be cautious, you''d better wait until the results come out.


    The man named Xie Jiu saw that Lu youyou had always relied on Sheng Qian, and Sheng Qian''s appearance and temperament were also very good. He almost always smiled in his eyes. When he left, he said to them, "I will stay in the hotel these days. If you have anything to do, you can find me. As soon as the results come out, I will fly back to Hong Kong immediately. At that time, the leader will pick up the young lady in person."


    Listen to his meaning, that is, he has accepted Lu youyou. Sheng Qian thinks that he has done a good deed.


    On the way back, Sheng Qian said to Lu Youyou, "when your father recognizes you, you must tell him about Guo Mao. Guo Mao is still waiting for you to help."

 Chapter 356

    Although he panicked at this point, it is more than enough for the Yilin club to deal with the current Xilin Fu.


    He has been laying the groundwork for so long, but he is waiting for this day.


    Lu You nodded: "I know."


    Send Lu youyou back to where she lives now. Sheng Qian waves goodbye to her. Lu youyou takes a few steps and turns back. He says to Sheng Qian, "no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it because I like you."


    Lu youyou spoke the last three words very quickly, and she ran away when she finished, so that Sheng Qian didn''t hear it at all. He just felt that it would be a pity if the girl really married Guo Mao.


    Although he didn''t do anything wrong, Sheng Qian was guilty for no reason, so after sending Lu Youyou, he didn''t go home, but went to the studio to explore Zhao Xiaowei''s class.


    This play is an ancient costume play. Zhao Xiaowei has a small face with a big slap. It''s really nice to dress up as an ancient costume beauty. He can''t open his eyes at a glance.


    After one shot, the director shouted to rest. Zhao Xiaowei walked to the rest area. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Sheng Qian and walked towards him with a smile.


    Anyway, now everyone knows their relationship and there''s no need to hide it.


    "Why are you here? Did the sun come out from the West today?" Zhao Xiaowei also looked at the horizon, and then turned back to look at him, "or did something wrong?"


    He was guessed at once. Sheng Qian smiled awkwardly: "how is it possible? I just miss you."


    Zhao Xiaowei sighed and deliberately said, "it''s really a bad thing. I don''t know if you don''t say it. Today, she finally thought she could play with Lu youyou. As a result, she asked for leave and said she had a date. The eldest son Guo has been missing for many days. Who is she dating?"


    It was obvious that Zhao Xiaowei already knew. Sheng Qian said in some surprise, "she said she was going on a date. It''s too stupid. I can''t ruin my innocence."


    "How many women have you slept with and your innocence?" Zhao Xiaowei said with a disgust on his face.


    "I''ve confessed to you. It''s all fake. Am I such an amorous person?" seeing that Zhao Xiaowei doesn''t believe it at all, Sheng Qian lowered his figure and whispered, "how can you believe me? God is so unfair and doesn''t give us men a film. How can we prove our innocence?"


    This sentence successfully made Zhao Xiaowei laugh. She pushed him and said, "go home quickly. I can''t make a film here."


    Seeing that he was very tired, he had to come to her to apologize. Zhao Xiaowei couldn''t bear to be difficult for him, urging him to go home and have a rest.


    "Then come back as soon as you finish shooting," Sheng Qian said in her ear. "I can''t sleep without holding you."


    Zhao Xiaowei''s heart was sweet, pushed him and said, "go, go."


    Sheng Qian turned and walked out. Just a few steps out, he heard a crash behind him, like the sound of something like a stick rolling down. He suddenly turned around and saw Zhao Xiaowei tripped. She hadn''t stood up yet, and the props and weapons on both sides seemed to have been pushed down and smashed at Zhao Xiaowei.


    Those weapons and other things, although they are props, are not fake. If they are hit, Zhao Xiaowei will be injured.


    When Sheng Qian saw it, he almost rushed over without thinking, hugged Zhao Xiaowei and wrapped her body in his arms. Those weapons hit him directly. Two big knives were cut on his back, and the blood immediately flowed out.


    Zhao Xiaowei only heard the exclamation of the people around her. She also felt that Sheng Qian''s body seemed to soften all at once. She was very frightened and called Sheng Qian''s name in fear.


    Sheng Qian immediately had a cold sweat on his head, but he didn''t faint. Hearing the panic in Zhao Xiaowei''s voice, he reluctantly smiled, touched her hair with his fingers and said, "it''s okay, it''s just a little painful."


    The people next to him reacted and immediately took away the props with all hands and feet, and then carefully helped Sheng Qian aside. The director saw that his back was covered with flesh and blood, and cried bad in his heart. If something like this happened on his own set, and the injured boss was still injured, I''m afraid he would be fired.


    Zhao Xiaowei quickly got up from the ground. Seeing the wound behind Sheng Qian, her heart was sour and her tears came down immediately, but she bit her lips and couldn''t say anything.


    The assistant has called an ambulance, and someone quickly brought an emergency medicine box, but no one dared to help Sheng Qian clean his wound.


    Zhao Xiaowei wiped his tears and said, "give it to me."


    Sheng Qian looked at her nervous look and joked, "don''t shake your hands. It will hurt to death."


    Knowing that he deliberately eased the atmosphere and didn''t let her be so nervous, Zhao Xiaowei felt even worse. He frowned and said, "shut up and talk less."


    Sheng Qian obediently shut his mouth, not only shut up, but even clenched his teeth. Every time Zhao Xiaowei wiped it, his body trembled, and even the people around him were worried.


    "If there is no outsider here just now, find out who is playing tricks for me and find out. I can''t spare him!" Sheng Qian shifted his attention and looked at the director and said.


    The director''s sweat also came down and hurriedly said, "yes, I''ll investigate right away."


    This woman who doesn''t know how to live or die wants to move him under Sheng Qian''s eyes. She really doesn''t want to live.


    The ambulance arrived soon. The people were busy carrying Sheng Qian into the ambulance. Zhao Xiaowei kept wiping his sweat. Looking at Sheng Qian''s pale face, they were extremely distressed.


    As soon as he frowned, he hurriedly asked, "does it hurt badly? You can bear it for a while and you''ll be in the hospital soon."


    The pain was real. Sheng Qian was so painful that he took a breath and clenched Zhao Xiaowei''s hand.


    But he still kept calling her: "Xiaowei, Xiaowei..."


    Zhao Xiaowei hurriedly promised: "I''m here, you say."


    "Don''t call my third brother, and let min road block the news. Don''t let my third brother know." this is definitely not an accident, nor is it directed at Zhao Xiaowei. Otherwise, there will be an accident today. If you want to harm Zhao Xiaowei, he will leave in a few minutes, but it is when he is about to leave, which is too unreasonable.


    Then the only possibility is that Xilin is a demon again.


    Whether it''s for him or for Sheng Liang, he can''t let Sheng Liang come back at this time.


    Zhao Xiaowei heard him say so. He was very unhappy and kept silent.


    Sheng Qian couldn''t hear her answer. He struggled to open his sweat soaked eyes, looked at her and said, "did you hear that? I''m not kidding you."


    Zhao Xiaowei nodded: "I know."


    "Now, call minlu immediately, it''s too late." such a big thing, there are so many people on the set, and now the network is so developed. Maybe people all over the world know it a second later.

 Chapter 357

    Zhao Xiaowei listened to him and immediately took out his mobile phone and called min Lu. When she finished explaining, hung up and looked at Sheng Qian, he had fainted.


    Unfortunately, it''s still late. Relevant pictures have appeared on the Internet, and some have recorded videos. When min Lu wants to block, he doesn''t know how many times he has forwarded it. Even if he has quickly deleted the video website, there is no guarantee that it will be transmitted abroad.


    When min Lu rushed to the hospital, Sheng Qian had finished the operation, but he still hurt badly. Zhao Xiaowei had to ask the doctor to give him a pain relief needle before he fell asleep.


    "What the hell is going on? How can four young people get hurt?" although min Lu doesn''t object to the communication between Sheng Qian and Zhao Xiaowei, he gets hurt when he goes to a set. The water in this circle is too deep.


    Zhao Xiaowei shook her head: "it happened so suddenly that I don''t know what happened, but I think someone seems to be following me these days. I don''t know if it has anything to do with it."


    Min Lu''s eyes sank and said, "I''ll go out for a while. If Si Shao wakes up, please make sure to call me."


    Zhao Xiaowei nodded.


    The ward fell into silence. Zhao Xiaowei sat by the bed and looked at Sheng Qian who could only lie on his back because of his injury. His face was still bloodless. She took a cotton swab and gently touched water to wipe his cracked lips.


    Perhaps it was too painful. Sheng Qian woke up again after falling asleep. Zhao Xiaowei leaned over, endured heartache and asked softly, "is the pain relief needle useless? If you hurt badly, otherwise, you''ll bite me."


    She said and reached over.


    Sheng Qian frowned tightly and his voice was too small to hear: "Zhao Xiaowei, if only you had been so gentle at ordinary times, you would quarrel in my ear every day, and my head would explode."


    When did she quarrel in his ear? He kept talking and didn''t say anything serious.


    But Zhao Xiaowei couldn''t bear to refute him. He just said, "OK, I won''t quarrel with you in the future."


    Sheng Qian was surprised. He opened his eyes and looked at her: "Why are you so obedient? It''s not like you at all."


    Isn''t this woman never willing to listen to him? She had to stick it up when she told her to roll away. What''s the matter now? She''s as obedient as a kitten.


    Zhao Xiaowei took his hand, put it on his face and said, "I''ll listen to you in the future. If you let me roll again, I promise I won''t appear again, so don''t say this word to me casually in the future."


    What is she, a threat?


    Sheng Qian wanted to say something, but he just moved a little, and the wound hurt. He lay there and dared not move.


    "Don''t let the doctor give you a pain relief needle again. How can you rest like this." how can the wound grow well if you don''t sleep.


    "That thing hurts my brain. I don''t want to be a fool." Sheng Qian said sarcastically.


    Zhao Xiaowei immediately said, "even if you become a fool, I will take care of you all my life."


    Sheng Qian is really not used to listening to such disgusting words. He always tells others. Now it''s a little awkward for a woman to tell him.


    Sheng Qian hooked his finger twice, motioned Zhao Xiaowei to approach him and said softly, "then I don''t want to become a fool. Can a fool serve you comfortably?"


    Hearing that he was not serious again, Zhao Xiaowei almost slapped him. When he fell on him, he just touched him gently: "stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."


    Sheng Qian finally fell asleep.


    But what he was worried about happened. Sheng Liang knew about it and flew back from France the day after he was injured.


    When Zhao Xiaowei saw him, he was stunned: "Chairman, how do you know..."


    Sheng Qian repeatedly told Sheng Liang not to know, but he didn''t expect to know so soon, and he came back specially.


    "How about Xiao Si?" Sheng Liang didn''t answer her question, but looked at Sheng Qian who was asleep and asked.


    "Wake up and sleep for a while. It doesn''t hurt so much today. You can sleep more." Zhao Xiaowei looked at Sheng Liang. "He told me many times not to tell you about his injury. He also asked min Lu to block the news for fear that you might know."


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak. Of course he knew these things. He also understood why Sheng Qian did this. It was really hard for him during this period of time.


    "Take good care of him here. Don''t tell him I''m back." he will find out and explain it to Sheng Qian.


    Sheng Liang came out of the hospital. Roger quickly welcomed him: "how''s the fourth young man?"


    "I''m badly hurt. I must rest for a long time," said Sheng Liang thoughtfully. "Just during this time, we''ll take good care of Xilin Fu."


    Roger didn''t know what to say. Each of them wanted to kill Xilin, but the man''s life was not so easy to take.


    "It''s strange. The fourth young man did so many things before. It''s reasonable to force Xilin into a corner. How can he bully Xilin''s house?" Roger said puzzled.


    "People have inertia. Xilin Fu used to suppress them everywhere. They are used to it. Now even if Xilin Fu has lost its previous scenery, they are still afraid of him. Even if he doesn''t do anything, they will be frightened." Sheng Liang sighed, "Moreover, the other sons of the Xilin family are really worthless. They have probably noticed how much they are now. After leaving Xilin Fu, they will soon lose all their possessions, so they have converged recently."


    "Then we have to do something," Roger said urgently. Now Xilin Fu gave him the feeling that he was invulnerable. No matter what methods they used, they couldn''t work.


    Sheng Liang sank for a while and said in a low voice, "go back and talk."


    The method can''t be figured out in a moment and a half.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t come back with Sheng Liang. After hearing that Sheng Qian had an accident, Sheng Liang returned home first. Because Sheng Tianhao also promised to come back together, Sheng Liang arranged for Xu Yi to pick them up.


    In the waiting hall, Qiao Xuan saw Xun Hui pushing Sheng Tianhao to the bathroom. She quietly asked Xu Yi, "what happened to Sheng Qian?"


    Xu Yi looked at her and said directly, "Mrs. Shao, don''t ask me. The chairman won''t let me say."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t want to embarrass him, but asked, "is it related to Xilin Fu?"


    Xu Yi bowed his head and said, "yes."


    It seems that there is nothing to hide. Now everything they encounter is probably related to Xilin Fu. This man is like a ghost.


    Qiao Xuan was silent. In fact, in the final analysis, it was all caused by her. If it wasn''t for her, Xilin Fu wouldn''t fight with Shengshi to the end.


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers on her legs curled up slowly, as if she were making some determination.

 Chapter 358

    The plane landed at sangcheng International Airport. Xu Yi held years in his arms. Qiao Xuan and Xun Hui pushed Sheng Tianhao out of the airport exit. Roger was waiting for them outside.


    Sheng Tianhao and Xun Hui got on Roger''s car. As soon as they got on the car, Xun Hui asked, "why doesn''t Xiao Qian come to pick us up?"


    Roger cleared his throat and said with a smile, "the fourth young man may be doing it now. All the big and small things of the company point to him. Moreover, there is a large event these days. He can''t leave for a moment. After two days, he will naturally come to see you."


    Xun Hui sighed when he heard the speech: "my son is not an ambitious man. If you give him a prince''s seat, he can''t sit down. It''s better to play as much as he wants as before. How happy he is."


    Roger thought to himself that he was happy. Everything was on Sheng Liang. Isn''t Sheng Liang human? It''s really his child who loves him.


    Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled and said, "I think Sishao is very happy now. Men always have a career."


    Xun Hui didn''t think so.


    Sheng Tianhao didn''t speak from beginning to end. He just looked outside as if he felt very fresh.


    But Roger saw that his expression was really different from before. The shock of not being angry but powerful was gone, and his eyes turned around like a child.


    Sure enough, it''s an old child. When you get old, you look like a child.


    In the back car, Qiao Xuan sat in the back with Sui Sui in her arms. Sui Sui fell asleep with her eyes closed and her long eyelashes hanging down. She looked like a doll.


    Qiao Xuan was thinking about something, something she had been thinking about since a year ago. Although times have changed, her eyes are better and she won''t die again, but those things still exist.


    "Madam Shao, you can go straight home. The chairman is waiting for you at home." Xu Yi said. He just received Sheng Liang''s message and asked them where they are.


    Qiao Xuan nodded.


    It wasn''t long before they got home. Sheng Liang was taking a bath. When they came out to see Qiao Xuan, they said with some regret, "I should pick you up myself. How''s it going? Is everything all right on the way?"


    "It''s all right," Qiao Xuan took a towel from his hand and wiped his hair. "I''ve told you many times that you must dry your hair with a towel after taking a bath, otherwise it''s easy to have a headache."


    Speaking of this, Qiao gorgeous paused for a moment. Sheng Liang also seemed to think of something. Neither of them spoke.


    After a while, Qiao Xuan asked, "do you still have a headache these days?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head: "don''t be busy with anything. Naturally, you won''t have a headache."


    He said and smiled: "I really want to leave this pile of things to Xiao Si, but I think it''s too selfish."


    "In the future, if you share some, you don''t have to work so hard." Qiao Xuan comforted him. "When Sheng Qian is better, you can discuss whether one three five or two four six."


    Knowing that she was joking, Sheng Liang didn''t feel a smile. He held her and asked, "how old is it?"


    "Sleep, I sent him back to his room."


    As soon as Qiao Xuan''s voice fell, her body suddenly hung empty. She was startled: "Sheng Liang, what are you doing!"


    "What can I do? It''s inconvenient in the hotel. Now I''m home. Shouldn''t I do some business?" Sheng Liang bowed his head and kissed her lip.


    Qiao Xuan understood that she was still blushing and heartbeat: "I haven''t taken a bath yet."


    "Wash later."


    "Sheng Liang."


    "Huh?"


    "If only I could do this every day."


    Sheng Liang smiled: "so your demand is so strong."


    "No..." Qiao Xuan''s earlobes are red. "I mean, if it''s calm and happy every day."


    Sheng liang thought and continued to kiss her: "yes."


    When she woke up the next morning, Sheng Liang had left. There was toothpaste he squeezed for her in the bathroom and breakfast he prepared in the kitchen. Qiao Xuan washed her face and brushed her teeth. After breakfast, she changed her clothes, went out with Sui Sui and sent Sui Sui to Qiao''s house.


    She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. There were several rings. A female voice asked, "Chairman''s office, what can I do for you?"


    "Isn''t Mr. Xilin there? My name is Qiao Xuan. Please tell him that I have something to find him." Qiao Xuan held the mobile phone in one hand and pressed her heart in the other. She felt that her heart was about to jump out.


    After a while, Xilin Fu''s voice came from inside: "Qiao Xuan?"


    "It''s me. Are you free now? I''d like to meet you." in fact, after the last rooftop incident, she thought she would never meet Xilin again in her life. Even if she did, she probably wouldn''t look at him more, but she took the initiative to find him in such a short time. If Sheng Liang knew, she would scold her.


    More than ten minutes later, Xilin Fu appeared in the open-air Cafe ordered by Qiao Xuan. When he came to see Qiao Xuan, the original ones couldn''t believe it, gradually gathered away, burst out a smile and said, "I thought you lied to me."


    Qiao Xuan didn''t speak, but gently stirred the coffee in the cup: "I don''t know what you like, so I ordered you a cup of blue mountain. If you don''t like it, you can change it."


    At this time, Xilin Fu was as shy as a teenager more than ten years ago: "no, I like it very much."


    "That''s good." Qiao Xuan looked up at him and said, "I want to discuss something with you."


    "You said." Xilin looked like he would answer every request.


    "Don''t aim at Sheng Liang any more, okay? The matter between us has nothing to do with him."


    Xilin restored his fiery eyes and suddenly became dark: "you know it''s impossible, and now, it''s not me against him, it''s him who wants my life. Do I want him to kill me!"


    Qiao Xuan''s fingers trembled, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "I''ll tell him the same thing. I''ve put it down more than ten years ago. I hope you can put it down too. People can''t live in the past all the time."


    "Why not? People should start from the beginning and end, and decide that it is a lifetime until death." Xilin said firmly.


    Qiao Xuan is speechless. Xilin Fu''s obsession is really too deep. It can''t be changed in a few words.


    "How can you put it down?" Qiao Xuan''s fingers tightened. "Can I die?"


    Xilin Fu''s eyes suddenly widened: "Qiao Xuan! Don''t force me in this way. If you dare to die, I''ll kill Sheng Liang and bury your child. I''ll do what I say!"


    Tears rolled down Qiao Xuan''s eyes and whispered, "I''m sorry."


    "What?" Xilin didn''t hear clearly and asked.


    Qiao Xuan''s tears rolled more and more, but he didn''t dare to look up at him: "I''m sorry, I don''t want to hurt you, but I can''t let you hurt my husband and children. If you want to hate me, hate me alone."


    Xilin Fu felt his sight blurred and understood why Qiao Xuan said so. She put something in his coffee!


    "Qiao Xuan..." Xilin Fu fell to the ground and stretched his finger in the direction of Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan stood up and bent over him deeply: "I just put sleeping pills. You''ll be fine. The police will come in a minute. You can reform it in there. This... Is the best result."

 Chapter 359

    Qiao Xuan has never been a soft and weak woman, but although she can dominate the market, she is strange to this kind of thing.


    Although the man''s crime was unforgivable, it was difficult for her to punish him. Her hands were shaking as she spoke.


    But Xilin fell to the ground and looked at her from bottom to top. There was no resentment or anger in her eyes. She was so calm that she seemed to have expected such a result.


    It has nothing to do with this man''s behavior. Qiao Xuan looks at his expression. It''s impossible to say that there is no guilt.


    But it was just a moment. Qiao Xuan looked at him again and turned to leave.


    Suddenly there was a noisy and hurried footsteps behind her. Qiao Xuan thought it should be the police, so she couldn''t help looking back.


    But when she turned her head, she found that the people swarming up behind her were not the police at all, and their goal was not Xilin Fu, but her!


    Before Qiao Xuan''s exclamation, her mouth was covered and quickly taken away.


    These people are well-trained at first sight. They cluster around and take her away while paying attention to the surrounding environment. To outsiders, they look like Qiao Xuan''s bodyguards.


    A van suddenly stopped nearby. These people dragged Qiao Xuan to throw her into the car.


    Although I don''t know what kind of people they are, Qiao Xuan can probably guess that they came for Sheng Liang.


    She could be sure that they were not arranged by Xilin Fu, because Xilin Fu had fallen to the ground so far, and these people ignored him at all.


    She struggled desperately and refused to get on the car at the door. Someone kicked her hard in the back and kicked her at the bend of her leg. Her leg was soft and her knee was knocking against the side of the car. The whole leg immediately hurt almost unconscious.


    The body was pushed in, and Qiao Xuan had no way to resist.


    When I was in despair, I heard screams one after another, followed by the muffled sound of falling to the ground.


    Several hands holding her also loosened one after another. Qiao Xuan had a chance to look back and saw that it was Xilin Fu who was tearing open these people.


    Qiao Xuan looked at him in amazement and saw a wound on his left arm, bleeding outward.


    Although there was a fierce battle in front of her, her eyes just passed through these barriers and saw a broken coffee cup on the ground where Xilin Fu had just fallen, and the porcelain chips were still stained with bright red blood.


    A few sleeping pills really couldn''t control him, and with his keen sense, he might have discovered it long ago, but he didn''t say anything. If he hadn''t seen her in danger, he probably wouldn''t have kept himself awake in such a tragic way.


    And even in his current state, these people are still not his opponents.


    The siren sounded quickly from far to near. Qiao Xuan came back to her senses. She was about to remind Xilin that she was suddenly held by someone. She turned her head and saw that it was Sheng Liang.


    "Leave here first." Sheng Liang whispered in her ear. Before she could react, he took her hand and walked away.


    Qiao Xuan watched the police rush past, and those people hurriedly fled, and then were caught one by one.


    Xilin turned his head and was facing Qiao Xuan''s line of sight. He stood so blankly for a long time.


    Sheng Liang pulled Qiao Xuan into the car and saw that Qiao Xuan''s eyes were still staring outside. His eyebrows frowned almost inaudibly.


    Until she could no longer see those figures in the rearview mirror, Qiao Xuan took back her sight, but she just lowered her head and didn''t speak.


    She didn''t ask Sheng Liang how she came. Just think about it a little, and she probably knew. Either he had arranged someone to follow her, or Ling Hui informed him after she called the police.


    In fact, even if Xilin Fu was arrested and sent to prison, he deserved it, and it was the result she wanted to do so today.


    But I don''t know what happened. She just held a breath in her chest. She couldn''t come up or go down. It was very uncomfortable.


    Sheng Liang vacates his right hand, holds Qiao Xuan, repeatedly pinches the fingers in the palm of his hand, and whispers, "it''s not your fault. Although those people are not his people, they have something to do with him."


    Those who should be the blue dragon want to catch Qiao Xuan and threaten him, but the blue dragon probably didn''t expect that Xilin Fu''s obsession with Qiao Xuan was so deep.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Sheng Liang. When she heard what he said, she suddenly became enlightened.


    She is not the virgin. Naturally, she will not think that Xilin Fu can forgive because Xilin Fu just saved her. She just feels that the result is different from what she thinks. She doesn''t want to owe Xilin Fu, so she can''t turn around for a moment.


    Sheng Liang easily saw through her mind.


    Qiao Xuan leaned over along his arm and asked low, "should it be over?"


    She knew that during this period, Sheng Liang and Sheng Qian were not idle. Although Xilin repeatedly asked Roger and Xu Yi to force Sheng Liang to hold a press conference to clarify for him, the police will naturally speed up the implementation of Xilin Fu''s criminal evidence, and his escape from prison is a fact. It will not be so easy to come out this time.


    But Sheng Liang knew that there was no end, and the blue dragon might be more difficult to deal with than Xilin Fu.


    But he still nodded gently: "HMM."


    Qiao Xuan''s body had never fully recovered. After her high concentration just now, she relaxed. She felt very tired and went to sleep by Sheng Liang.


    Sheng Liang took her home, took her back to his room and lay down. He was not idle for a moment.


    He will never let xilinfu threaten them again. He will not hesitate to use any means.


    And blue dragon. Those people must have turned in today''s incident. Blue Dragon will retaliate more madly.


    But he still doesn''t know where this man is hiding.


    He knows Xilin Fu better, so Xilin Fu''s whereabouts still have traces to follow, but he doesn''t have a clue about the blue dragon at all.


    And he knows that after blue dragon was convicted, his wife died, and his children were taken abroad by relatives. Now blue dragon is determined to revenge and will not contact his children.


    He sat on the carpet beside the bed, holding his notebook and watching the market trend on the screen. Although Lanxi''s stock has been falling, the speed is still slow.


    However, he knows that the news of Xilin Fu''s arrest will soon be on the news, and Lanxi''s share price is bound to fall by the limit. At that time, he will buy at a low price, and with his current shares, he will become the largest shareholder of Lanxi.


    This is also the reason why he agreed to subscribe for Lanxi shares at the beginning. Otherwise, according to the situation at that time, he would never wade in this muddy water.


    Now it seems that all the risks are worth it.

 Chapter 360

    The mobile phone screen lit up. For fear of disturbing Qiao Xuan, he turned on the mute. Seeing Roger''s name above, he stood up and went outside to pick it up.


    "Liang Shao, madam can''t hide it. She has to go to the company to see her son," Roger said.


    "Then tell her." with Sheng Qian''s physical quality, even if the injury is not good, he must be able to talk. Let him deal with it by himself.


    Roger said, "I heard that Xilin Fu was arrested. It''s Miss Qiao who called the police. Miss Qiao is really powerful."


    "Hang up first if you have nothing to do." Sheng Liang didn''t listen to his wordiness, just hung up, leaned against the wall and took a long breath.


    Roger''s source was definitely not the news media, so Sheng Liang didn''t ask him to stop anything.


    He was just a little guilty. He shouldn''t have let Qiao Xuan do these things.


    hospital.


    Xun Hui eagerly pushed open the door of a VIP ward. When he went in, he saw Sheng Qian lying on his side on the hospital bed. He was talking and laughing with Zhao Xiaowei head to head. Her face changed slightly. She coughed and shouted, "Xiao Qian!"


    The two joking people were startled and immediately separated. Sheng Qian laboriously looked back and saw that it was Xun Hui. He said unhappily, "how can my third brother do this and go back on his word."


    Mingming agreed not to tell Xun Hui.


    Xun Hui looked at Zhao Xiaowei, who had stood up and flashed to one side. His face was still not worried. He went to sit by Sheng Qian''s bed and stretched out his hand to pull his clothes: "let mom see your injury."


    "What are you doing? Don''t move!" Sheng Qian quickly pressed her hand. "I''m fine."


    "Mom wants to see if you are badly hurt. What''s the matter? Others can see that I can''t." Xun Hui''s heart is not a taste. Thinking that Sheng Qian won''t let her know these days, but let an outsider take care of him here, he is more and more angry with Zhao Xiaowei.


    Naturally, she knows Zhao Xiaowei. She hasn''t seen the reports in the entertainment page. She is obsessed with and close to Sheng Qian. What true love ghost will believe it. It''s not because Sheng Qian is the young master of Shengshi. She has seen a lot of such women.


    She didn''t take it seriously before because Sheng Qian was also disgusted with this woman. She didn''t expect that Sheng Qian was so close to this woman now. It seems that she was too careless.


    Sheng Qian was a little unhappy with her words and frowned: "what other person, Xiaowei is my girlfriend now and your future daughter-in-law. What''s the matter with your sour tone?"


    Xun Hui choked on Sheng Qian''s words and became more angry. However, she could stand it step by step. She stopped for a moment, then turned to Zhao Xiaowei, smiled and said, "please take care of us Xiaoqian these days. You must be very tired. Go back and have a rest first. I''ll call you if you have something."


    Of course, Sheng Qian also loves Zhao Xiaowei. Hearing Xun Hui say so, he also looked at Zhao Xiaowei and said, "my mother is coming. You can rest assured and go back to sleep."


    As a woman, Zhao Xiaowei could feel Xunhui''s dissatisfaction with her even across Xunhui''s smiling face. If she was someone else, she wouldn''t swallow it so much, but Xunhui was Sheng Qian''s mother after all. She said, "OK, I''ll go back first. Bye, aunt."


    As she walked out, she kept looking at Sheng Qian. She was still worried that Sheng Qian would be brainwashed by Xun Hui and break up with her.


    After waiting for so many years, she finally waited until Sheng Qian changed her mind. She didn''t want to fall short.


    Sheng Qian didn''t notice so much. He just thought Zhao Xiaowei was reluctant to leave, so he gave her a reassuring look.


    When the door closed, the ward was quiet again. Xun Hui looked at Sheng Qian''s secretly proud appearance and said with a deep breath: "when his son is old, he can''t help his mother. He doesn''t discuss such a big thing as making a girlfriend with me."


    Before Xun Hui married Sheng Tianhao, she was also an internationally famous model. She quit slowly after marriage, but the outside world knows her experience. Therefore, even if Xun Hui was not good at Zhao Xiaowei just now, Sheng Qian didn''t think it was because of Zhao Xiaowei''s origin.


    "You didn''t ask. Besides, don''t you watch domestic news abroad? Your son makes headlines every day. Don''t you know about me and Xiaowei?" now it''s just nothing to ask for trouble.


    Xun Hui looked at him and asked tentatively, "didn''t you have no interest in her before? Why did you suddenly come with her? What do you have in her hand?"


    "What can I do," Sheng Qian said, feeling that his focus was wrong. Looking at Xun Hui, he said, "Mom, you''re so weird today. You used to urge me to find a girlfriend all day. Now I''ve found it for you. I haven''t seen how happy you are."


    Xunhui thought to herself, that''s because she doesn''t like Zhao Xiaowei. What she wants is a worthy daughter-in-law, at least like Qiao Xuan. She can help Sheng Qian. Zhao Xiaowei is a female star. She can do nothing but flirt and lose face.


    But she didn''t say it. Sheng Qian defended Zhao Xiaowei so much. She said that Zhao Xiaowei''s bad words would disgust him. It''s not worth destroying their mother and son''s feelings for a woman. She has other ways to break them up.


    Sheng Qian didn''t think about anything else at all. In his impression, no matter what he did, Xun Hui stood on his side. Therefore, even if Xun Hui saw that he was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Xiaowei, he probably couldn''t accept that his hard-earned son was going to take care of others for a while.


    He is not unfilial. In the future, he will be filial to his parents with Zhao Xiaowei, so he is not worried at all.


    After sleeping under Xun Hui''s care, Sheng Qian woke up again and saw a woman in the ward.


    It''s Lu youyou.


    After the accident on the set, he almost forgot about it. According to the previous agreement, Wu Jiansheng should also come to pick her up.


    Xun Huizheng and Lu youyou talked happily, which was completely different from when they met Zhao Xiaowei before.


    Sheng qian can''t help but feel sick. Do women see that beautiful women younger than themselves are naturally hostile, but they have no objection to Lu youyou?


    Seeing that he woke up, Lu youyou immediately shouted shyly, "four little."


    Sheng Qian narrowed his eyes, and then he reflected why Lu youyou was different from usual. She wore exquisite makeup today, and her clothes were much more tasteful than before.


    "Why did you come here? Did your father recognize you?" Sheng Qian sat up from bed.


    Lu youyou quickly took a pillow and put it on his back waist. He nodded and said, "he''s in sangcheng now. We''ll go back to Hong Kong in a few days."


    Sheng Qian smiled and said, "good thing."


    "He also promised to help Guo Mao get the inheritance right, so you can let Guo Mao out." because she was uncomfortable, she couldn''t call an unfamiliar father, so she used him instead.

 Chapter 361

    Sheng Qian gave a sigh of relief. It was to contain Xilin Fu that he found Lu youyou. Now Xilin Fu has been solved, and this relationship has not been used. He has made some trouble for nothing. However, it seems that Lu youyou has done a good thing to recognize his family.


    "That... I..." Lu youyou bowed his head and twisted his fingers, as if he had something to say.


    Xun Hui on one side immediately said, "you talk. I''ll go out first."


    Sheng Qian looked at Xun Hui strangely, followed her with his eyes, and his doubts deepened when he saw her smiling open the door and go out.


    What''s the matter? When did his mother become so discerning?


    Seeing Xun Hui go out, Lu youyou looked at Sheng Qian with a reddish face and said, "in fact, I wanted to make it clear to you. Although our initial agreement was that when I met my father, I would help Guo Mao get the inheritance right, and then marry him, but I don''t want to do so now."


    "Hmm?" Sheng Qian was still in doubt about Xun Hui''s strange behavior. When he heard Lu youyou say so, he didn''t understand her for a moment.


    "I used to think that he liked me well for me, and he helped me get the role of female No. 2, so I am very grateful to him," Lu youyou looked straight into Sheng Qian''s eyes with a shining flash, "but now I find that I have someone I like, so I can''t fulfill the agreement."


    Sheng Qian was a little confused. Although he caught something from Lu youyou''s words, it seemed that he couldn''t put it together completely, he knew very well when Lu youyou looked at him. The little girl took a fancy to him.


    If it had been in the past, he might have lamented his infinite charm, but now he just felt very troubled.


    Lu youyou has so directly refused to marry Guo Mao. Her determination is not ordinary. Now, she is the eldest lady of Yilin society. What kind of existence will Yilin society be? At least he doesn''t want to have any trouble with a gang organization.


    But they didn''t say they liked him, and he couldn''t handle it if he wanted to persuade him.


    Sheng Qian regretted that he shouldn''t have woke up so early. He knew he would have slept a little more.


    Sheng Qian, with a careless eye, asked nothing and said nothing.


    Seeing Lu youyou move his steps, he thought she was leaving. But the next second, Lu youyou suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face. Sheng Qian''s head was almost going to explode.


    Such a hint was already obvious. Even if he pretended not to know, it was impossible. He quickly coughed and said, "well, Youyou, it''s like this. You know, Zhao Xiaowei and I, we..."


    "I know, but if you don''t get married one day, I still have a chance, right?" Lu youyou smiled clearly. "Don''t worry, I won''t destroy you. I''ll wait. If one day, you find that the other party is inappropriate, you must remember that I''m waiting for you."


    Sheng Qian agreed and smiled bitterly, but as long as she didn''t interfere, the life should be the same as before. After all, the little girl''s mind changed after a period of time.


    After Lu youyou left, Sheng Qian stayed for a while. Just when he wanted to call Zhao Xiaowei, Xun Hui came in, grabbed the mobile phone from him, threw it aside and said, "have you considered it? I think the little girl was very good just now."


    "What''s good?" Sheng Qian frowned and faintly noticed something.


    Xun huibai glanced at him: "of course it''s identity. Do you know what background Yilin will be? If you marry her, you won''t want wind and rain in the future."


    Sheng Qian sighed: "Mom, why are you here again? As I said earlier, I don''t want to inherit the prosperity. Why do I have to marry a matching woman to live a seemingly divorced life?"


    "I know what you''re thinking, but although we don''t argue, we can''t have any chips. If one day he suddenly turns over, we''ll have nothing." especially when he found that Sheng Tianhao''s mind was more and more like a child, Xun Hui began to feel uneasy.


    Sheng Qian knew she was talking about Sheng Liang. He had such concerns before, but the more he knew about Sheng Liang, he understood that it was just his heart of caution.


    Sheng Liang has strategy and means, which everyone knows, but what they don''t know is that Sheng Liang has the strength to protect the calf to the people around him. Even if they are not born of a mother, he really didn''t feel sorry for him after the misunderstanding between Sheng Liang and Sheng Tianhao was solved.


    Moreover, at the beginning, they had given Sheng Liang all their shares. If he wanted to be in power alone, he had nothing to do now.


    One of the reasons for Sheng Qian''s death to Sheng Liang is probably related to Sheng Liang''s body. His head is like a bomb that will explode at any time, which will kill him at any time.


    But even in this case, he still tried to support the burden of Shengshi and didn''t tell anyone about his physical condition. If he hadn''t found it by accident, he wouldn''t believe that Sheng Liang could bear it.


    This man can''t help being cruel to the enemy, and he is really cruel to himself.


    So no matter what Xun Hui said, Sheng Qian did not waver, whether it was his trust in Sheng Liang or his promise to Zhao Xiaowei.


    Xun Hui had no choice but to take him. It was not good. He was too tough, so he had to find another way.


    The most direct way, of course, is to use money to let Zhao Xiaowei leave.


    Although Zhao Xiaowei knew Sheng Qian''s identity very early and knew that there was a gap with him, he tried so hard to climb to a position comparable to him.


    Although it was still far from him, at least it shortened the distance.


    So she never thought that Xun Hui would let her leave Sheng Qian in such a bloody way.


    Listening to Xun Hui''s price, Zhao Xiaowei smiled: "aunt, I''m not short of money. Even if Sheng Qian has nothing now, I can afford him."


    "Miss Zhao, if we Xiaoqian really have nothing, it can only show that he is good for nothing. If a man is so useless, I''m afraid you won''t look at him." Xun Hui was angry in his heart, but still didn''t show anything on his face.


    Zhao Xiaowei shrugged: "maybe, so there is no such assumption at all. I won''t leave him. No matter what conditions you offer, I won''t agree."


    Xun Hui was not worried, and even the smile on his face didn''t fade: "I gave you a chance. You don''t grasp it yourself. Next, don''t blame me."


    Zhao Xiaowei held her shoulders in both hands and smiled back at her, but she was a little nervous.


    She believes she can withstand the pressure, but what about Sheng Qian? Can he?

 Chapter 362

    The plot of Shengshi in the western suburb has been planned and named Shengshi Tiange. The three-dimensional image map has also been completed. It has been advertised in major media in sangcheng and is expected to open for sale on Tanabata day.


    Xilin Fu''s case is still in the evidence collection stage, and there is still a long time before the formal judgment. Sheng Liang is busy with Shengshi Tiange, and slowly forgets it.


    Blue Dragon seems to have disappeared these days. There is no movement at all, but the more calm he is, the more uneasy Sheng Liang is.


    Completely unable to grasp the opponent''s actions, which is very insecure for him.


    He was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. Sheng Liang was sweating. He gasped a few times and realized that it was a dream, so he slowly put down his heart.


    There was a wall lamp in the room. The light was dim. Qiao Xuan sat up, reached out her hand and stroked his forehead. She found that he had no fever, but his head was full of sweat: "what''s the matter with you?"


    Sheng Liang grabbed her hand, turned over and looked at her, took her to lie down again, and then gently hugged her: "it''s okay, I had a nightmare just now."


    Like coaxing a child, Qiao Xuan patted him on the back and comforted him: "it''s okay. Just wake up."


    Sheng Liang didn''t speak, but just drilled into Qiao Xuan''s arms, and Qiao Xuan also hugged him.


    When he woke up in the morning, he went to the company as usual. Sheng Qian was also discharged from the hospital. They discussed the Tanabata activity of Shengshi Tiange for a while.


    Sheng Qian''s mobile phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the video sent by Xun Hui and clicked to see it. The picture was very dark, only two intertwined figures were vaguely seen.


    But before seeing the face of the person in the picture, it was the voice made by the woman. He slowed down for half a beat and turned it off.


    Sheng liang thought it was his bad taste. He coughed awkwardly and said, "it''s working time. Pay attention to the influence."


    Sheng Qian seemed not to hear it. His eyes were still staring at the mobile phone screen. His face became more and more ugly. After a while, he recovered and stood up: "my mother is really crazy!"


    Sheng Liangcai realized that things were not what he thought, but before he asked, he saw that Sheng Qian had gone out of the office and must have gone to find Xun Hui.


    Not long after Sheng Qian left, someone knocked at the door outside. Xu Yi came in. Looking at his eager look, Sheng Liang asked, "there''s news?"


    Before, he told Xu Yi to find the whereabouts of LAN long. Now that he came back, he should have an eyebrow.


    Xu Yi nodded, but his expression was a little dignified: "I saw LAN long meet a man in the cafe."


    "Who?" looking at Xu Yi''s face, I knew that this man was extraordinary, and his heart sank.


    "Mrs. Sheng." when Xu Yi said these three words, he almost stopped breathing. He knew what it meant.


    Xun Hui


    Sheng Liang frowned. It seems that the rumors many years ago were not groundless. The reason why Sheng Tianhao acquiesced to those directors and pushed blue dragon out to take the blame was also related to those rumors.


    Although there is no real evidence, no man can tolerate his wife''s unclear gossip with other men.


    However, after all these years, Xun Hui has followed the rules. Why is he in contact with blue dragon at this time?


    Sheng Qian drove home directly and pushed the door open with a bang. The servant at home was startled and didn''t dare to speak.


    "Where''s my mother?" Sheng Qian asked calmly.


    The servant said timidly, "in... In the kitchen."


    Sheng Tianhao''s food was done by Xun Hui himself. When Sheng Qian heard it, he went directly to the kitchen. As soon as he opened the door and saw Xun Hui''s action, he immediately drank: "what are you doing!"


    Xunhui was putting a bag of things into the porridge. Hearing Sheng Qian''s voice, she turned her head, but the movement in her hand didn''t stop.


    Sheng Qian frowned fiercely. He turned back and closed the door. Then he went to Xun Hui and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what are you doing? You drugged my father?"


    Xun Hui stirred it with a spoon, then tasted it himself and said, "your father is going to have Alzheimer''s disease. Do I still have to give him medicine?"


    Sheng Qian only felt that his heart had experienced ups and downs. At this time, he finally fell back to the distance: "what do you mean by sending me a video, threat?"


    The woman in the video is very similar to Zhao Xiaowei in appearance, and the picture is so dark that unfamiliar people will certainly regard the woman as Zhao Xiaowei. If this video is circulated, it will be a devastating blow to Zhao Xiaowei.


    "Take it as it is," Xun Hui said lightly. "You forced me. I had no other choice but to make such a bad decision."


    Sheng Qian was worried as soon as he heard it: "Mom, are you crazy? Haven''t you considered the impact on the company since you did this!"


    Xun Hui smiled: "what impact? The feileng jade is still under the name of Sheng Liang. It has nothing to do with the Sheng family. Besides, this little scandal can shake the prosperous age. The strong winds and waves in these years have long submerged the prosperous age."


    Of course, Sheng Qian knows these reasons, so it''s not what he wants to express. He sighed and said, "Mom, I just didn''t expect you to do this. In order to separate me and Xiaowei, you don''t hesitate to use such indiscriminate means."


    "If you don''t teach me, I''ll only send it to you. As long as you separate from her, the video won''t come out." Xun Hui looked at him straight. "The decision is in your hand."


    Sheng Qian had always felt that Xun Hui was a very enlightened mother. They never had differences on anything, so he really didn''t understand why she was so hostile to Zhao Xiaowei.


    "I won''t separate from Xiaowei. If you insist on doing so, whatever. The woman in the video is not Zhao Xiaowei. There will always be a way to clarify. If necessary, I will sue you in the name of the company for violating her reputation." Sheng Qian said very firmly.


    Seeing Sheng Qian turning to leave, Xun Hui stopped him and said, "this pot of porridge is not for your father, but for myself. What I just put in is poison."


    Sheng Qian was shocked both physically and mentally. He suddenly turned around and saw Xun Huizhen''s pale face and shaky body. He was startled. He hurried two steps and hugged her: "I''ll take you to the hospital!"


    "Promise me first, or I won''t go." Xun Hui held Sheng Qian''s hand and insisted.


    Sheng Qian didn''t expect Xun Hui to make such a decision and force her to die: "Mom, can you give me a reason? What''s wrong with Xiao Wei? Although she came from a bad background, she is now the first-line star in China and fully deserves my identity."


    Xun Hui shook her head and smiled miserably: "you can find out her identity and understand everything."


    Sheng Qian''s heart suddenly fell.

 Chapter 363

    Sheng Qian first sent Xun Hui to the hospital. Fortunately, Xun Hui just frightened him. The dose of poison is very small and will not endanger life.


    Sheng Qian called min Lu and asked him to investigate Zhao Xiaowei. Although he was reluctant to believe it, he understood that since Xun Hui could do so, there must be a reason for his firm opposition.


    After hanging up the phone, he sat down on the bench in the corridor with his head down. He didn''t respond for a long time.


    When Sheng Liang arrived, what he saw was Sheng Qian. He waved his hand to let min Lu go, then walked slowly, sat next to him and asked, "how''s aunt Xun?"


    "She''s all right." Sheng Qian looked up and saw min Lu''s back. He immediately guessed what and asked Sheng Liang, "third brother knows Xiaowei''s identity?"


    "I just know," Sheng Liang looked at him. "She is the daughter of blue dragon. She was abducted before Blue Dragon went to prison, so we all know that blue dragon has a pair of children abroad, but we don''t know that he actually has a little daughter. However, she met Blue Dragon after you met him, so she likes you. It should have nothing to do with this."


    Sheng Qian buried his face in his palm and didn''t look up for a long time. He didn''t know whether it mattered, but there was one thing that he thought was not simple.


    "Xilin Fu took a fancy to our land in the western suburbs, wanted to build an arsenal there, and has contacted the arms smuggler. There is a middleman named Guo Mao. Later, I found a breakthrough from him and solved the matter," Sheng Qian said.


    "I know."


    "Do you know who told me this? It''s Zhao Xiaowei." Sheng Qian asked himself and answered with a bitter smile. "I didn''t think much at that time. Now think about it. How could Guo Mao and John talk about such a confidential matter in the lobby of the hotel and be heard by her? It''s ridiculous."


    "Do you mean to say that this is the blue dragon''s idea?" Sheng Liang''s eyes converged, which was the reaction he was thinking.


    "Otherwise, even if she is an ordinary person, will Guo Mao turn a blind eye to her so dazzling face?" Sheng Qian was like a big stone in his heart.


    Sheng Liang didn''t respond. If it was blue dragon''s idea, what good would it do to them? Blue Dragon wanted to use Xilin Fu and destroy Xilin Fu''s plan. Doesn''t it mean that blue dragon''s own strength has been weakened?


    "Maybe it''s not what you think," Sheng Liang said. "It''s also possible that Zhao Xiaowei inadvertently heard Lanlong and Xilin Fu''s plan and saw Guo Mao and John appear in the hotel, so he changed a statement to remind you."


    When Lanlong was in prison, Zhao Xiaowei should still be young. After that, she has been growing up with her adoptive parents. For Lanlong, there is probably only a nominal father daughter relationship.


    And she likes Sheng Qian for ten years. How much she has done in these ten years, this persistence and emotion is real.


    Sheng Qian looked at Sheng Liang somewhat blankly: "really?"


    Sheng Liang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just don''t want you to make judgments and decisions in this state. First calm down and think about it."


    Sheng Qian understands that what Sheng Liang said is right. Only they know about Zhao Xiaowei and LAN long. He can''t speculate out of thin air, let alone hurt Zhao Xiaowei at this time. He''s afraid he''ll regret it all his life.


    When Sheng Liang returned to the company, Roger immediately came over, gave him a carton and said, "it was sent up by the front desk. It was said that someone wanted to give it to you. Let me open it for you."


    Sheng Liang nodded and went back to his chair to sit down.


    Roger opened it a few times and saw what was inside. He said, eh, then took it to Sheng Liang and said, "isn''t this Mrs. Shao''s ring?"


    Roger helped them get the rings. Now the cool ones are still on their hands. This one in the box must be Qiao Xuan''s.


    Sheng Liang took it and looked at it. It was indeed Qiao Xuan''s. Qiao Xuan said he couldn''t find it before. He guessed that it might have been left in the hospital, but he asked Xilin Yue and no one saw it.


    "Is there nothing in there?" since I know his identity and give it to him in this way, it''s difficult to make people believe that it''s not to ask for compensation. In this case, the person should leave his contact information.


    Roger looked carefully again, shook his head and said, "No."


    The ring was recovered without any damage. It was always a good thing. Sheng Liang didn''t think about it any more and put the ring away.


    Qiao Xuan was naturally happy to see that the ring had been found. She immediately asked Sheng Liang to put it on for her.


    They had dinner together and teased the child for a while. When the child fell asleep, they took a bath and lay down.


    Thinking of last night''s nightmare, Sheng Liang was a little afraid to sleep. He held Qiao Xuan, but kept his eyes open.


    Qiao Xuan woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that he hadn''t slept yet. He got out of his arms and asked softly, "why haven''t you slept yet? Are you uncomfortable?"


    Sheng Liang shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I have a little insomnia. Did it bother you? Go to sleep. I''ll go to the study and read for a while."


    He said he was about to get up. Qiao Xuan hurriedly grabbed him and told him to lie down again: "don''t go. You can''t sleep. Let me talk with you."


    Sheng Liang didn''t move again, but he didn''t know what to say.


    "Xiao Nan and Lin Zheng are getting married. Shall we join in the fun and have the wedding with them?" Qiao Xuan asked carefully.


    Qiao Xuan is not a person who likes to join the fun. Sheng Liang knows she says so, but doesn''t want him to think nonsense.


    "I''d better leave. I want to give you the best." Sheng Liang kissed Qiao Xuan and said, "I don''t want to regret that day because I''m in a hurry."


    Qiao Xuan smiled: "well, I listen to you."


    She just said casually that if she married Qiao Nan on the same day, she was also worried that her parents'' health could not cope with so many trivial things.


    "Are we going to prepare gifts for Xiaonan?" when Sheng Liang asked, "Shengshi Tiange''s villa is still good, or we''ll give one to Xiaonan."


    Of course, the villa of Shengshi Tiange is good. Even if it is still a piece of land, it is worth tens of millions.


    Qiao Xuan quickly refused: "no, it''s too expensive."


    "What''s valuable, mine is yours, and your brother is also my brother. It should be." Sheng Liang''s tone is beyond doubt.


    Qiao Xuan didn''t say anything more, just hugged Sheng Liang more tightly.


    At dawn, Sheng Liang fell asleep. Qiao Xuan didn''t have the heart to wake him up. She just called Roger and asked him to tell Sheng Liang if his company had something to do.


    Sheng Liang didn''t wake up until more than ten o''clock. Looking at the sunshine outside, he didn''t know what was going on.


    He looked at his cell phone and found that it was so late. Qiao Xuan probably asked for leave for him, so he didn''t get up too fast, but even so, he still felt dizzy when he stood up.

 Chapter 364

    He was forced to sit back in bed and press his hand on the swollen corner of his forehead.


    "Sheng Liang, what''s the matter with you?" Qiao Xuan came in and asked him to have breakfast. Seeing that he looked very bad, she hurried to him and held his shoulder.


    Sheng Liang doesn''t know what''s wrong with him. It''s reasonable to say that Xilin Fu has been arrested. He doesn''t smell that smell anymore. How can he have a headache?


    Or, because of the previous two times, the drug capsule in his brain has begun to melt by itself?


    Sheng Liang''s heart, which had been slowly put down these days, was raised again in an instant. Sure enough, could he still hide?


    "Probably I didn''t sleep well last night. I got up too fast just now and my head was a little dizzy." Sheng Liang grabbed Qiao Xuan''s hand and took it down. Seeing her face nervous, he smiled and comforted her.


    "Then lie down for a while." Qiao Xuan looked at his face and was very distressed. He helped him lie down, held his hand and said, "did you have a headache before? You can''t do this. You''d better go to the hospital for examination. At least, let Xilin Yue come and have a look."


    When Sheng Liang mentioned xilinyue, he was afraid that Qiao Xuan would go down to ask xilinyue privately. Although xilinyue promised not to tell Qiao Xuan, who can guarantee it.


    "I see," said Sheng Liang, touching her face. "I''ll sleep a little longer and let Roger go to the hospital with me in the afternoon."


    "I''ll go with you -"


    "No, you take care of the children at home. When the results come out, I''ll ask Xilin Yue to call you personally, okay?" Sheng Liang interrupted her before Qiao Xuan finished.


    He had said so, and Qiao Xuan didn''t force any more. She watched him close her eyes and walked out gently.


    In the afternoon, Roger came to pick up Sheng Liang and went to the hospital, but they didn''t know. After they went out, Qiao Xuan also went out. She first sent the child to her parents, and then immediately went to xilinyue''s hospital.


    Seeing Roger standing at the door of Xilin Yue''s office, Qiao Xuan calls Qingqing and deliberately makes Qingqing misunderstand that Roger is with other women. Qingqing will naturally call Roger.


    Although it''s a little unkind to do so, Qiao Xuan has no other way for the moment. Sheng Liang and Roger won''t tell her the truth. Even if Xilin Yue is told by Sheng Liang, he will only tell her some insignificant words.


    Roger did answer the phone. Qiao Xuan immediately walked over and heard Sheng Liang ask, "if at this speed, how long will it break and how long can I live?"


    "I don''t know. I can''t answer you. I still suggest to find the cause first." Xilin Yue said, "didn''t you say you didn''t have an attack when you were abroad? Now you haven''t been exposed to that smell. Why would it happen? Is it something else? You made a mistake at the beginning?"


    Sheng Liang is not sure. After all, he can''t prove it. The only thing he can be sure now is that Xilin Fu''s action hasn''t stopped. No wonder he''s silent these days.


    From Xilin Yue, there was no answer. Sheng Liang stopped asking. He stood up and said, "please call gorgeous and say, I can''t rest well, neurasthenia, and I''ll be fine after a period of good cultivation."


    Xilin Yue just wanted to say something. When he saw the door pushed open, he was stunned immediately.


    Not only him, Sheng Liang was stunned when he saw Qiao Xuan coming in.


    Roger ran over in a panic. Seeing the scene in front of him, he didn''t know what to do for a moment.


    Qiao Xuan just looked at Sheng Liang, but her face didn''t show any happiness and anger. For a long time, she walked over, took Sheng Liang''s hand and said softly, "go home."


    Sheng Liang didn''t know how much she heard, but even if she only heard the last sentence, she shouldn''t have this reaction: "gorgeous son..."


    Xilin Yue and Roger didn''t dare to speak. They watched Qiao Xuan pull Sheng Liang away.


    Sheng Liang was pulled by Qiao Xuan all the way. She was in front and he was behind. Her lip line was tight. It was clear that she was angry.


    Into the elevator, there were only two of them, but Qiao Xuan still stood in front with her back to Sheng Liang.


    This kind of atmosphere, which has never existed between them, condenses like suffocation.


    Sheng Liang reaches out to grab her hand. The elevator door just opens at this time. Qiao Xuan immediately goes out.


    "Gorgeous son!" Sheng Liang strode up and grabbed her wrist, "listen to me."


    There was silence in the parking lot, and his voice echoed.


    Sheng Liang didn''t realize it at that time. When he turned Qiao Xuan''s body around, he saw that Qiao Xuan''s eyes were red and his tears were still hanging on his face. He was suddenly stunned.


    Qiao Xuan is not angry. She is just distressed. Up to now, her chest is still sour and uncomfortable. She doesn''t want to infect Sheng Liang with this emotion, so she has been depressed, but she can''t suppress it after all. As soon as Sheng Liang turned her around, she hugged him and buried her head in his chest. She hasn''t spoken for a long time.


    She blamed herself. She knew that Sheng Liang''s headache was wrong before, but she still took chances and let him make up various reasons to prevaricate her.


    Maybe even if I know, I can''t help. At least when he is in pain, she can accompany him around him so that he doesn''t have to bear it alone.


    Sheng Liang looked down at her and didn''t know what else to say. The explanation or comfort seemed so weak. He just stroked her back and rubbed her gently.


    "Go home," Qiao Xuan finally calmed down, looked at him and said, "don''t care about anything. Just have a good rest and let me take good care of you."


    Sheng Liang didn''t refute either. He nodded his head lightly: "HMM."


    Can make Qiao Xuan feel at ease, he is willing to do anything.


    Qiao Xuan really won''t let Sheng Liang do anything. She won''t touch computers and mobile phones. She told Sheng Qian about the company and asked Sheng Qian to find her directly without going through Sheng Liang.


    Hearing her tone, Sheng Qian knew that she knew Sheng Liang''s physical condition, and it seemed that the situation was very bad.


    Although he also had a lot of trouble, it was all emotional. It was good to calm down for a while, so he agreed without hesitation.


    Since he left the hospital that day, he had no contact with Zhao Xiaowei. At first, he thought Zhao Xiaowei would definitely find him. Later, he knew that she was Lanlong''s daughter, so he didn''t know how to face her, because it was not only about them, but also related to the safety of Shengshi.


    He just didn''t expect that Zhao Xiaowei didn''t look for him again. Is she guilty or


    In the next few days, nothing happened. The blue dragon seemed to have died down and nothing happened.


    Zhao Xiaowei also appeared in public for many days. Sheng Qian asked her agent, but the agent said Zhao Xiaowei was on vacation and hasn''t received any activities and announcements recently.


    Sheng Qian became more and more uneasy. His fingers tightened and his heart began to worry. He didn''t want Zhao Xiaowei to get involved. No matter what she wanted to do, he didn''t want to.


    He suddenly got up from his office chair. When he was about to go out, the door opened and a familiar face appeared in front of him.

 Chapter 365

    "Xiaowei!" Sheng Qian cried out.


    Zhao Xiaowei''s face was still dignified. After hearing the joy and tension in Sheng Qian''s voice, he smiled with relief: "do you miss me?"


    Sheng qianzhen couldn''t tell the feeling in his heart at this time. All kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, and his chest seemed to be about to burst, but in the end, he gently twisted his eyebrows: "don''t talk to me in this tone!"


    He should use such a provocative tone.


    Zhao Xiaowei smiled and walked slowly in front of Sheng Qian. His body almost stuck with him. His fingers drew a circle on his chest, pretending to be coyly looking up at him: "people just miss you."


    Sheng Qian''s eyebrows tightened more. There was nothing wrong with the woman. He whispered a warning: "can you be normal?"


    Zhao Xiaowei deliberately teased him. Seeing that he was about to curse, he stood up straight and asked in an ordinary tone, "why didn''t you call me for several days?"


    Sheng Qian didn''t answer and didn''t know how to answer.


    None of them mentioned the blue dragon. He didn''t want to destroy the happiness between them because of the misunderstanding.


    Therefore, he is waiting for Zhao Xiaowei to take the initiative to say.


    "There''s something I want to tell you," Zhao Xiaowei looked into Sheng Qian''s eyes and saw that there were no waves in his eyes. He seemed to be waiting for her. He knew that he knew, so he went on, "It seems that you already know that I am the daughter of blue dragon, but I want to tell you that I am not close to you because of this. Although at the beginning, I was confused for some time, but later I figured out that even if I want to retaliate against the prosperous age, I should use a fair way instead of sacrificing my own feelings."


    Sheng Qian listened carefully. He carefully printed every word she said in his heart.


    All the worries and doubts he had before had disappeared. He was glad that he had no impulse to do anything at that time. Otherwise, he would really regret to die now.


    "How did you do it? Did you negotiate with your father?" otherwise, how could she disappear? These days, the blue dragon just didn''t move.


    "Well, I''ve used everything," Zhao Xiaowei hooked Sheng Qian''s neck. "How can you thank me?"


    Sheng Qian also encircled her waist and printed a kiss on her forehead: "I''ll give you whatever you want. If you want the stars, I''ll never pick the moon for you."


    Zhao Xiaowei burst out laughing, but his heart was also sweet. He leaned against Sheng Qian and said, "I just want to have a good sleep now."


    She''s really tired of fighting with blue dragon these days.


    Sheng Qian immediately picked her up and walked to his rest room. How can he be willing to make her tired for such a woman? He just wants to make her tired in another way.


    They were safe at last, but Qiao Xuan was becoming more and more sad.


    Mingming has put down everything. He just reads books and drinks tea every day. Shengliang''s headache is getting more and more serious, the interval between attacks is getting shorter and shorter, but the duration is getting longer and longer. Qiao Xuan watched him become haggard in a few days, and the whole human flesh is losing weight quickly. Qiao Xuan is so distressed that she doesn''t know what to do.


    These days, she has given years to her parents. She only focuses on taking care of Sheng Liang, but he has not improved, but he has become more serious.


    "Today is the fourth day of the lunar calendar." Sheng Liang looked at the morning newspaper as if he was expecting something.


    "Well, it''s Tanabata in two days, and Shengshi Tiange is about to open for sale." Qiao Xuan knows what he''s thinking about, squats in front of him, holds his hand and says, "you''re the chairman, so you have to show up, so you have to keep your spirit in these two days."


    Because he had a bad headache, he hardly slept these days, and Qiao Xuan hardly rested. Sheng Liang was bitter and distressed.


    In fact, he didn''t know that he could sleep for a while every day because Qiao Xuan put sleeping pills in his water. Otherwise, he probably couldn''t sleep at all.


    After Qiao Xuan let him drink the water mixed with sleeping pills, she watched Sheng Liang fall asleep in bed, pulled a blanket and gently covered him.


    Xilin Yue came soon. When she saw Qiao Xuan looking at him with expectation, she just shook her head.


    So far, there has never been such a case in medical clinic. He thought of many schemes, but they can''t stand scrutiny.


    Especially this person is Sheng Liang, who is Qiao Xuan''s favorite. He doesn''t dare to do any experiment on him easily.


    Qiao Xuan was disappointed, but these days, she seemed to be used to this disappointment. She just smiled bitterly and said, "sure enough, there''s still no way."


    In fact, she didn''t dare to think about when Sheng Liang could last. As long as she thought that Sheng Liang would no longer wake up one day and completely leave the world and her side, Qiao Xuan was too sad to help herself.


    The feeling that tears flow down without warning and then are out of control. People who are not sad to a certain extent will not realize it.


    "Sit down first and I''ll pour you a glass of water." Qiao Xuan turned around in a panic and didn''t want to be seen by Xilin Yue. She tried to hide her pain.


    But can xilinyue not see it.


    Qiao Xuan poured a glass of water and put it on the tea table in front of Xilin Yue. Just about to take back her hand, Xilin Yue suddenly grabbed her hand. Qiao Xuan was surprised and immediately wanted to get rid of it.


    Xilinyue''s mind she knows, but since she left the town at that time, she thought he had given up.


    But now, what is he doing?


    But Xilin Yue still held her wrist tightly, but his sight stopped on the ring in her hand: "is this the ring you lost before?"


    Qiao Xuan was stunned, then nodded, and didn''t break away his hand for a moment.


    "How did you get it back? When did you get it back?" Xilin Yue stared at Qiao Xuan solemnly.


    How did she get it back? Sheng Liang didn''t mention it to her, but she remembered the time after they came back from France.


    Qiao Xuan''s mind suddenly exploded. No, is it because of this ring?


    Is this ring the reason that Xilin Yue has been looking for to induce Sheng Liang to attack?


    Xilin Yue saw her look change, so he let go of her hand: "give me the ring and I''ll take it back for testing."


    It was just because he found the strange luster on the ring that he became suspicious.


    Qiao Xuan quickly took it off and gave it to Xilin Yue. Her heart fluctuated violently.


    If it was really this reason, she would really hate herself. If she hadn''t insisted on getting the ring back, Sheng Liang wouldn''t have been so careless when he got the ring at that time.

 Chapter 366

    After Xilin Yue left, Qiao Xuan rubbed her hands many times in front of the wash basin. She washed her hands white. In some places, she even rubbed blood, and then slowly stopped.


    She didn''t expect that the reason for Sheng Liang''s deterioration step by step was her!


    She can''t wait to cut off her hands.


    "What are you doing?" Sheng Liang''s weak voice came from behind Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan''s back stiffened and quickly gathered all her emotions into her eyes. She turned back and saw Sheng Liang''s pale face. She finally controlled her tears and fell down again.


    "What''s the matter?" Sheng Liang was flustered. He hurried over and raised his finger to wipe her tears, but he wiped more and more. "Who came?"


    He saw the water cup on the tea table in the living room. It was not theirs, but for the guests. He wanted to ask who had been here. Unexpectedly, he came in and saw Qiao Xuan crying and scrubbing his hands.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart was so blocked that she couldn''t speak at all.


    "Is it Xilin Yue?" it was Xilin Yue who said that he would not live long. Qiao Xuan would be so out of control. Sheng Liang sighed secretly, but he smiled on his face, held her shoulder and said, "it''s all right. Don''t listen to the doctor''s words. They are all frightening."


    Qiao Xuan also hopes to scare her, but Sheng Liang''s growing weakness is a fact. She can''t deceive herself at all.


    Now she just hopes that the test results are really because of the ring, and she will not wear it again. She hopes that after she is away from that thing, Sheng Liang will not be tortured by headache and can recover day by day.


    Qiao Xuan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She nodded to Sheng Liang: "well, I know."


    Sheng Liang pulled her hand and found that her fingers were cold. Looking down, he saw that her two hands were unusually white. There were still many gaps at the fingertips, and his eyebrows frowned: "what''s the matter with your hands?"


    Qiao Xuan didn''t hide it from him. She knew she couldn''t hide it from Sheng Liang: "Xilin Yue said that maybe something was quenched on that ring, which led to your headache. I wear it every day..."


    When she talked about the back, her nose was sore and choked.


    Hearing what she said, Sheng Liang also remembered receiving the ring that day. At that time, although Xilin Fu was arrested, he and blue dragon were still allies. He probably told blue dragon about his situation. Blue Dragon probably accidentally saw the ring, so he took advantage of it.


    "It''s my carelessness. It has nothing to do with you." Sheng Liang smiled and comforted her. "Now that I know the reason, isn''t it a good thing? I should be fine in the future."


    Qiao Xuan nodded. I hope so.


    However, in the next two days, the cooling situation was really better. Even when it happened occasionally, it was not as unbearable as before.


    Sheng Qian also told Qiao Xuan about Zhao Xiaowei. Everything seems to be really developing towards the good side.


    Tanabata soon arrived. Sheng Liang got up early. Qiao Xuan woke up and couldn''t see him. She was shocked. She looked for a circle before she saw him in the kitchen. She hurriedly took the spoon in his hand and said angrily, "what are you doing? You want to scare me to death."


    Sheng Liang was pushed aside by her, but he smiled and said, "I have rested for so many days, and it''s time to move."


    "Come and wash your hands." Qiao Xuan took him out and helped him wash his hands in front of the sink. His body was just a little better. Qiao Xuan didn''t want him to be contaminated with any more flavor.


    Sheng Liang didn''t refuse either. He looked down at Qiao Xuan and carefully washed his hands for him. He smiled and said, "do you think I''m old?"


    Of course she isn''t, but she just wants to do as much as she can to help him.


    "I think so. When you get better, I''m going to go back to the company." he seems to want to object. Qiao Xuan wiped his hand with a towel and said, "my parents have nothing to do. They want to take years, and I don''t want to stay at home."


    It''s really a waste to let Qiao Xuan be a CFO as a housewife at home. She can''t give full play to her talents.


    "I respect your decision, but if you feel tired and like staying at home, you don''t have to force yourself." Qiao Xuan is a very independent woman. Sheng Liang is just a husband and simply doesn''t want her to work so hard.


    Sheng Liang has no objection, which makes Qiao Xuan very happy. She can understand that Sheng Liang treats her in an equal position, not someone.


    After breakfast, they changed their clothes. Before going out, Qiao Xuan helped Sheng Liang tidy up her tie again and again, as if she was more nervous than him.


    When they arrived at the sales office, Sheng Qian had arrived and was directing people to decorate the scene. Seeing them, he immediately seemed to vent his breath and complained, "this is really not human work, third brother. You''d better come back quickly. I can''t stand it."


    Although Qiao Xuan didn''t let him touch the company for so many days, just looking at the way Sheng Qian commanded the people just now, Sheng Liang could see that he had performed very well, and only when he was in front of them would he collapse and feel wronged.


    "I think you''ve done a good job. It''s better to give you the prosperity in the future." Sheng Liang said half jokingly.


    Sheng Qian immediately said, "I don''t want it. I''m really not interested in your chair. I''m tired and tired. I have to smile at a group of people. I don''t want to be an actor."


    Although he said so, when all the big people in Sang City arrived one by one, Sheng Qian tried to come forward for Sheng Liang so that he could have a rest.


    In the past, Sheng Liang dared not think of such a scene of brotherhood and brotherhood, but now it is so true in front of him.


    With family, lovers and children, Sheng Liang has never been more satisfied than now.


    The scene was very lively. The planning department also prepared performances and gifts for the on-site people. With the process, there were more and more onlookers.


    Sheng Qian basically did everything on behalf of Sheng Liang, but when cutting the ribbon, Sheng Liang stayed on the stage for a while.


    When a reporter wanted to interview, Sheng Qian blocked him.


    "Tired?" Qiao Xuan asked with Sheng Liang''s arm in the lounge.


    He is not weak enough. Besides, he has been all right these two days. Sheng Liang shook his head and said, "it''s all right."


    "There should be nothing in the back. I''ll go to Roger and ask him to take us back." Qiao Xuan hung up the phone. She called many times just now, but Roger didn''t answer. There was too much noise outside, and he shouldn''t have heard it.


    "OK." Sheng Liang loosened her hand and watched her go out.


    Sheng Liang sat there and turned over the leaflet at hand. The copy made by the planning department is really exquisite. Sheng Qian should take credit for it.


    He was watching and heard a knock at the door. A staff member came in, put a box on the table and said, "Chairman, someone asked me to give this to you. Oh, the security guard checked it. It should not be dangerous goods."

 Chapter 367

    Sheng Liang looked at the box and couldn''t help thinking of the box where the ring was put. It was because the box was very light that he felt no threat and subconsciously thought there was no malice.


    He asked the staff member to leave and opened the box by himself. There was only a note in it, which said, this is the second gift for you. I wish the real estate sell well.


    He didn''t know how much irony there was. He was just thinking about what the gift mentioned in the note meant.


    "Cool little, there should be nothing behind. I''ll take you back first." Roger came in and said.


    Sheng Liang turned his head and looked behind him: "where''s gorgeous son? Isn''t she looking for you?"


    Roger was stunned: "I didn''t see it. I just saw her call me. I guess you were looking for me, so I came here."


    Sheng Liang was inexplicably flustered. He immediately stood up and blackened in front of him. He quickly supported the table, then took out his mobile phone to call Qiao Xuan. No one answered for a long time.


    Roger didn''t know about the note, but seeing Sheng Liang''s face was bad, he hurriedly said, "Liang Shao, don''t worry, I''ll go out and look for it."


    Roger was about to go out when he heard a loud noise outside. He stopped and frowned. "What''s that noise?"


    Sheng Liang heard it clearly. Although it''s not powerful, it''s really an explosion!


    The uneasy feeling rushed all over his body. He silently recited Qiao Xuan''s name, and then ran out quickly.


    People outside didn''t know what had happened. They just thought it was the staff who were firing a salute, so they continued to enjoy the program after watching.


    Sheng Liang went out and saw Sheng Qian first. He was still greeting the leaders. Sheng Liang didn''t care about the etiquette for several weeks. When he went up, he pulled Sheng Qian aside and said to him in a deep voice, "Blue Dragon buried a bomb at the scene. You should inform people and arrange everyone to leave. Don''t ask anything and do it immediately!"


    Sheng Qian was stunned when he heard the word "bomb". If Sheng Liang hadn''t drunk, he was still stunned. He turned and was about to leave. He thought of something and looked back at Sheng Liang: "don''t you go?"


    "I''ll find Qiao Xuan, but she''s gone." Sheng Liang''s heart is cold.


    The explosion just sounded like a warning to him. It seems that blue dragon is still measured. He doesn''t want innocent people to be buried with him, so he gave Sheng Liang some reminders first.


    But Sheng Liang understands that Lan long wants him to die. Perhaps because of Zhao Xiaowei, LAN long will not hurt Sheng Qian. Even after he dies, he hopes that Sheng Qian will take over Shengshi.


    Lanlong probably knows that after this incident, he will not have good results. He is planning happiness for his daughter at the end.


    But it''s good. At least Sheng Qian is safe. He only needs to take into account Qiao Xuan.


    Sheng Liang kept calling her while looking for Qiao Xuan outside. He tried to keep calm and tried to recall the position where the voice came just now. Just when he ran to the entrance of the underground parking lot, Qiao Xuan''s mobile phone suddenly connected, and Qiao Xuan''s weak voice came from inside: "Sheng Liang..."


    It seemed that all the external voices had disappeared, and only Qiao Xuan''s voice was left in Sheng Liang''s ears. After his heart trembled violently, he hurriedly asked, "where are you, gorgeous? Are you okay?"


    "I''m in... The elevator room. It seems that there was an accident just now. The elevator stopped on the second floor underground and the door couldn''t be opened." she was stunned. It was the cell phone ringing that woke her up.


    Sheng Liang looked up at the front and immediately said, "don''t be afraid. I''m at the entrance now. I''ll come and save you right away."


    Sheng Liang originally wanted to call someone, but he soon thought that this place might have been bombed, so he gave up and ran in alone.


    The underground parking lot hasn''t been built yet. It''s just temporary. There''s basically no parking in it, and there''s no other people. Lanlong chose this place specially.


    Sheng Liang went up from the walking ladder and soon got outside the elevator where Qiao Xuan was. He didn''t dare to act rashly. He just called Qiao Xuan''s name outside: "can you hear me?"


    Because it was underground, the elevator broke down again, and it was dark inside. Qiao Xuan didn''t dare to keep her mobile phone on all the time. The remaining power had to be used when needed.


    It''s false not to panic, but Sheng Liang came so quickly. Hearing his voice, Qiao Xuan calmed down quickly: "Sheng Liang, I''m fine. You don''t have to worry too much."


    Sheng Liang listened to her thinking clearly and relaxed a little, but this consumption must not be the way. The blue dragon people should be watching him nearby. They won''t give him a lot of time.


    "I''m looking for something to pry the door open. There may be vibration or other unexpected situations. Go to the corner, squat against the wall, and remember to protect your head when there is an accident." Sheng Liang said very quickly, looking for something that can pry the door with the light of his mobile phone.


    Qiao Xuan was already in the corner. When she heard Sheng Liang''s words, she tried to shrink her body and put her arms around her knees.


    Sheng Liang found an axe from the fire hydrant, immediately took it and went to the elevator door. He told Qiao Xuan again, and then chopped it hard into the middle of the door crack.


    As expected, the elevator vibrated, like an earthquake. Qiao Xuan''s back was close to the wall, but her body still hit the wall several times. Her spine seemed to break and hurt.


    But it really worked. The elevator door slammed open, but suddenly closed when neither of them reacted.


    Sheng Liang was a little anxious. He chopped several times and opened the elevator door again. This time, Sheng Liang was ready. He immediately stuck the axe in the crack of the door, and then pushed the elevator door aside: "gorgeous son, come out!"


    Qiao Xuan quickly stood up, but just one step away, there was another vibration. She couldn''t stand stably and almost fell down. Sheng Liang immediately stretched out a hand to pull her.


    However, Sheng Liang was just supporting the door with his body. When he released one hand, his strength immediately decreased. The elevator door pressed against him and almost squeezed him into meat pie, but he quickly pushed it away with all his strength, and then pulled Qiao Xuan out.


    The two fell to the ground. Qiao Xuan listened to Sheng Liang''s rapid breathing and dared not touch him rashly: "Sheng Liang, how are you? Where are you hurt?"


    "No," just a moment ago, when the elevator door pressed over, his back seemed to be rubbed. Now it was hot and painful, but he quickly stood up and took Qiao Xuan out, "let''s get out of here."


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t know what''s going on outside, but she was pushed into the elevator, so she guessed what''s going on today.

 Chapter 368

    Sheng Liang took Qiao Xuan up the stairs while lighting with his mobile phone. Only their footsteps were left underground.


    But suddenly, Sheng Liang heard something else. He searched quickly in his mind, and then thought that it was the sound of a timer!


    His heart suddenly sank, ignoring the sharp pain in his mind, he stepped faster, pulled Qiao Xuan tightly and ran up staggeringly.


    There was a light in front of him. He knew it was the exit, but his eyes began to turn black. The pain in his head was almost numb. Even his steps slowed down gradually. His legs were like lead, and he wanted to go soft on the ground.


    "Sheng Liang, what''s the matter with you? Stand up!" Qiao Xuan flustered to help Sheng Liang up, but she couldn''t support his weight at all.


    Sheng Liang felt that Qiao Xuan''s voice was becoming more and more ethereal. He knew that he could not hold it. He said to her with his last consciousness, "go up first and find someone."


    He hasn''t told Qiao Xuan about the bomb, so she shouldn''t doubt that he''s going to die now.


    But Qiao Xuan is not an ordinary woman. Although she was flustered just now, it did not hinder her judgment. Besides, she knew Sheng Liang too well. If it was just that she was trapped in the elevator, he wouldn''t be so panic at all.


    Especially just now, after they heard something, he dragged him to run, which was clearly like running against the clock.


    Now, he let her go alone. If Qiao Xuan doesn''t understand, she will be a fool.


    "Will you die?" Qiao Xuan squatted down and held Sheng Liang''s face. Although there was only a weak light now, she could see Sheng Liang''s pupil laxity. He was exhausted. She slowly kissed him and said, "I won''t let you alone."


    "Gorgeous son..." Sheng Liang wanted to say something, but he immediately felt the vibration of the ground. Before the bang, he used his last strength to protect Qiao Xuan tightly under his body.


    Successive explosions blew up the whole underground parking lot into ruins. Then, the world seemed to be quiet, and only the dust fell slowly.


    Sheng Qian pushed away the people who were desperately blocking him, rushed to the ruins, looked at the lifeless place, and his heart seemed to be hit hard.


    How can it be like this? Sheng Liang is joking with him. Even if he doesn''t want to be the chairman of Shengshi, there''s no need to make such a big noise. He squats down slowly and reaches out to pick up the fragments: "third brother, stop making trouble, it''s not right if you don''t want to be. I promise. Don''t joke with me. It''s not funny..."


    His fingers soon bled and his eyes were red. Zhao Xiaowei couldn''t see it. He wanted to pull him up, but he pushed him away, pointed at her and shouted: "This is your plan, isn''t it? While running to let me relax my vigilance, I''ll bury a bomb and wait here. Zhao Xiaowei, you really deserve to be the queen of the film. You''ve come to me for the acting, haven''t you? I''m so fucking blind that I''ll be cheated by you! Get out of here right away. The farther you go, the better. Never let me see you in the future!"


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t expect this to happen. She was also cheated by blue dragon, but she can''t deny that she was responsible for this. She should have guessed that blue dragon had planned in prison for so many years. How could she stop because of her persuasion.


    She thought too simply to make things like this, but she still said to Sheng Qian, "I know it''s useless for me to say now. You should hate me, but Sheng Qian, don''t be too sad. Shengshi still depends on you."


    "Get out!" Sheng Qian gritted his teeth. He didn''t need this woman to pretend.


    Zhao Xiaowei didn''t want to stimulate him anymore, and she also wanted to find Lanlong to ask clearly, so she left silently.


    "What about the rescue team? Why hasn''t it arrived yet?" Sheng Qian trembled. He didn''t believe that Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan were dead anyway. He had to dig them out as soon as possible.


    Xu Yi and Roger are also anxious. If it weren''t for the inefficiency of using their hands, they would have done it long ago.


    Finally, the rescue team came. It took three hours to dig out the people.


    As soon as Sheng Qian saw that the pedestrian was exposed, and regardless of the risk of secondary collapse, he immediately ran over and carefully pushed away the bricks covering Sheng Liang''s back. He felt nervous and his breathing was almost stopped.


    "Third brother, Qiao Xuan..." Sheng Qian whispered for fear that a louder voice would scare the two people below.


    Finally, the two of them were completely dug out. Although their breathing was weak, they were still alive. Sheng Qian, Xu Yi and Roger couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. All three sat on the ground.


    Qiaoxuan almost no injuries, just because the brain hypoxia coma for three days, opened his eyes and saw that he was in the hospital, immediately sat up.


    "Sister, you''re awake!" Qiao Nan saw that Qiao Xuan was awake and hurriedly went to call a doctor.


    "Where''s Sheng liang?" Qiao Xuan thought of what happened before she fainted and asked with fear.


    Qiao Nan looked at her and stopped talking.


    Seeing that he didn''t speak, Qiao Xuan''s heart cooled a lot: "he......" is he dead?


    Qiao Nan saw that she looked wrong and hurriedly said, "sister, no, he''s still alive, but he hasn''t woken up yet because he was hurt too badly."


    Qiao Xuan heard this and hurriedly got out of bed: "I''ll go and see him."


    Qiao Nan knew she couldn''t stop it. She didn''t stop it at all. She helped her out.


    Sheng Liang didn''t just wake up. He is still in the intensive care unit and is not out of danger at all.


    Because he was hurt by some hard objects during the explosion, Xilin Yue consulted with several foreign experts and suggested taking advantage of the opportunity of this operation to take out the medicine bag in Sheng Liang''s brain.


    Sheng Tianhao can''t make a decision. Qiao Xuan is in a coma again, so Sheng Qian signed the operation consent.


    Seeing Qiao Xuan coming, Sheng Qian immediately walked over: "I''m sorry, I made my own decision without consulting you."


    Qiao Xuan shakes her head. Even if she is sober, she will do so. Since Xilin Yue thinks this is a good opportunity, he must have his grasp.


    They could only look at Sheng liang from the outside. They watched him lying on the hospital bed alone, full of pipes, with thick gauze wrapped around his head. His face was so white that there was no blood.


    Qiao Xuan frowned and pressed one hand on her chest, but her body still softened involuntarily.


    "Sister!" Qiao Nan saw it and immediately picked her up.


    When Qiao Xuan woke up again, she saw Xilin Yue sitting next to her. A light flashed in her eyes, and her dry lips opened slightly: "is he awake?"


    Xilin Yue shook his head: "not yet."


    "Oh." Qiao Xuan calmed her mind and said, "I''m fine, I''ll be fine, and I have to accompany him."

 Chapter 369

    "Thank you for your trust. I''m willing to give his life to me. Don''t worry. There''s no problem with the operation. When he wakes up, nothing will happen." Xilin Yue filtered a lot of words in his heart. That''s all he can say.


    He didn''t tell Qiao Xuan that the fundamental solution was actually what Xilin Fu told him.


    His seventh uncle, after knowing that Qiao Xuan is willing to die with Sheng Liang, seems to have suddenly figured everything out. Now he is like an old monk who is disillusioned with the world of mortals. He can enjoy himself in prison every day.


    Qiao Xuan''s mood soon calmed down. She ate and slept on time. She spent the rest of her time outside the intensive care unit. She wanted to see her at first sight when he woke up.


    Sheng Qian also wants to stay, but he can''t get away with a lot of things in the company that need him to deal with.


    After Tanabata, Zhao Xiaowei did not appear in front of him again. She issued a statement in her private name and withdrew from the entertainment industry forever.


    Sheng Qian didn''t have time to think about whether what he said that day was right or wrong, and he didn''t give himself a chance to think about it. After the accident between Sheng Liang and Qiao Xuan, he and Zhao Xiaowei could never be together again.


    Time passed day by day. From late summer to early autumn, and then to winter, Sheng Liang''s injuries had been completely healed, and the knife edge of the operation had healed long ago, but he just didn''t wake up.


    Almost one year old, Qiao Nan took him to the hospital to see Sheng Liang. He was accompanied by Lin Zheng, who was four months pregnant, but his limbs were still thin and could not be seen at all.


    Qiao Xuan just gave Sheng Liang a massage. Seeing them, she immediately brought Sui Sui over and said to Qiao Nan reproachfully, "come on, why do you bring a small Zheng? There are so many germs in the hospital. She is pregnant and is bad for the fetus."


    "How can you be so delicate? My daughter has strong resistance." although she said so, Qiao Nan immediately took out a mask from her pocket and put it on Lin Zheng.


    Qiao Xuan held Nian, put Nian''s little hand into Sheng Liang''s palm and said softly, "Sheng Liang, Nian has come to see you. He will be one year old soon. Wake up quickly. We are all waiting for you to help him celebrate his birthday."


    With a smile on her face, she couldn''t see the sadness at all, but Qiao Nan knew that Qiao Xuan''s heart was more desolate than anyone else.


    "Elder sister, it''s better to take my brother-in-law home. My family is more comfortable than here. Maybe when I return to a familiar place, my brother-in-law will wake up." Qiao Nan said later.


    Lin Zheng secretly pulled the corner of his clothes and asked him to stop talking.


    Qiao Xuan seemed to think about it seriously, and then said, "well, home is really much more comfortable than here."


    She will also take years with her. Sheng Liang will be very happy when they are together.


    Qiao gorgeous really took Sheng Liang home. The most thing she did every day was to teach years to call her father.


    Although she was less than one year old and didn''t understand what her father meant, Qiao Xuan just took the trouble to teach him.


    At the end of the lunar calendar, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was year-old''s first birthday. The Qiao family came, the Sheng family came, and Xu Yi and Roger. Qingqing''s daughter had walked very steadily and coaxed year-old as a little adult.


    After Sheng Qian and Zhao Xiaowei broke up, they stopped talking about feelings, and Xun Hui didn''t dare to introduce others to him.


    Now Sheng Qian is really different from before. He is completely like a social elite. He can show his ease on various occasions.


    But Qiao Xuan always felt that such modesty was less angry. It seemed that he buried the most innocent and frank side in his heart. What he revealed to outsiders was like wearing a mask. He would also laugh, but he always couldn''t laugh at the bottom of his eyes. It seemed that no one could move his heart anymore.


    Xun Hui must have noticed, so now she doesn''t dare to publish anything, let alone ask about Sheng Qian.


    The family had never been so lively. Every year, he seemed a little shy. Later, he simply climbed away and hid.


    Sheng''s servant also came to help watch the years, so Qiao Xuan didn''t worry too much and prepared lunch in the kitchen.


    "Young lady, I''m crying so much every year. I don''t drink milk powder. Maybe I''m looking for you." the servant held me crying like a tearful man, walked up to Qiao Xuan and said.


    Qiao Xuan explained what she was doing to others, washed her hands, held Sui Sui in the past, wiped his tears and asked, "what''s the matter?"


    "Dad, Dad!" year-on-year cried, pointing out his little hand.


    Qiao Xuan''s heart sank and her heart suddenly quickened. She ran upstairs with years in her arms, pushed open the door of the room, and ran to the bedside. Sure enough, Sheng Liang opened her eyes: "Sheng Liang..."


    When Sheng Qian and Qiao Nan saw her running upstairs, they all followed up. When they saw that Sheng Liang woke up, they just didn''t react.


    After a while, Sheng qiancai took out his mobile phone with trembling hands and said, "I''ll call Xilin Yue and ask him to come right away!"


    On this day, the family came all by themselves, so they didn''t hide it from anyone. They knew that Sheng Liang finally woke up, and everyone was very happy.


    When Xilin Yue was checking Sheng Liang, the others were waiting downstairs. No one spoke. They were very quiet.


    Only Sheng Tianhao, who couldn''t remember things more and more, asked unhappily, "why don''t you see Sheng liang? When do you eat?"


    Over the past few months, Sheng Tianhao has been repeating these two questions almost every day. When at home, Xun Hui can pretend not to hear, but here, when so many people look at her, she can only whisper: "Xiao Liang will come down in a while, and he will eat when he comes."


    Sheng Tianhao snorted coldly, "it''s really no rules to let the whole family wait for him."


    Xu Yi sighed secretly. Others couldn''t tell what it was like.


    They all know that although Sheng Tianhao''s tone is dissatisfied, it also proves that even when he can''t remember anything, he still remembers Sheng Liang. Is this a deep love.


    Qiao Xuan looked at Xilin Yue nervously. Finally, she couldn''t help asking, "how is he? Why did he wake up, but he didn''t respond?"


    Just look around with your eyes open.


    "Heart rate, blood pressure and everything are normal. There is no response to the outside world. It may be because the coma time is too long and the brain can''t accept it for a moment. It should be fine in a few days," Xilin Yue said.


    Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid because the neurotoxin hurt his nerve. She was relieved to hear that Xilin Yue was so sure.


    After that day, Qiao Xuan took more care of Sheng Liang, and almost never left him.


    Sheng Liang is also very dependent on her. She slowly responds to some things. She can laugh and annoy. When she sees years, she also knows to touch his little head.


    Winter goes to spring, and Sui Sui has learned to walk. One day, Qiao Xuan is cooking in the kitchen. Sui Sui goes in with a toy gun and sneaks around behind Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan doesn''t pay attention at all. She suddenly turns around and stumbles over Sui Sui unprepared. She sees that she is going to press the villain on the ground. A pair of steady and powerful hands reach out and hold Sui Sui and Qiao Xuan.


    Qiao Xuan felt her body stop and sighed for a long time. Then she looked at the person still holding her: "Sheng liang?"


    Sheng Liang loosened her and asked her to stand well. He also put Sui Sui on the ground and said positively, "don''t stand behind adults silently in the future, you know?"


    Year old bit his lip, as if he realized his mistake and nodded immediately.


    Qiao Xuan doesn''t care about the reaction of years at all. She just keeps staring at Sheng Liang. His expression and tone are no longer the same as before. She tentatively asks, "Sheng Liang, are you okay?"


    Sheng Liang turned to look at her and asked, "what do you say?"


    Qiao Xuan was overjoyed. She couldn''t care about her image. She hugged Sheng Liang with tears and smiles: "great, great, you''re finally all right!"


    Sheng Liang also hugged her with his back hand. In fact, even at this time, he remembered everything, so he knew how hard Qiao Xuan had waited for this day.


    Fortunately, they all waited, and he would like to stay together for the rest of his life.
