Chapter 176: Misjudge

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Looking at the bloodthirsty-looking Qiao Liang, Chief Lan sighed in his heart. “Girl, your honey is going to kill me!”

Tang Xi was wheeled over to the VIP ward and Chief Lan followed in, but as soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by the pressing aura released by Qiao Liang. He thought this was ridiculous! Why was he, someone old enough to be Qiao Liang’s father, so overwhelmed by Qiao Liang that he couldn’t even say a word?! How truly strange!

But it was understandable! If Qiao Liang didn’t have such an imposing manner, he wouldn’t have become a legend of City A in just two years.

Chief Lan, the chief of a police station, would never flinch back, however; if he cowered in front of Qiao Liang, people would laugh at him! And so…

Chief Lan gave an ingratiating smile to Qiao Liang and said, “President Qiao. You know, I have to bring the injury assessment report to the police station and charge Xiao Jinning. Since you are here, I will go first.”

Qiao Liang took a wordless look at Chief Lan, but the latter immediately understood his meaning— ‘You can get out of here. Don’t appear in front of me again.’

Chief Lan turned around straightaway…

It was midnight when Tang Xi woke up from the anaesthetic and she felt such a sharp pain that she groaned.

There was no light on in the ward, but the window was open. Moonlight shed on the floor of the ward through the window. Tang Xi pursed her lips and felt a bit upset. She thought she would see him as soon as she woke up…

Was he working overtime again?

When Qiao Liang, who was sitting on the sofa looking at Tang Xi through the moonlight, saw that Tang Xi didn’t look in his direction side but merely gazed at the moonlight, he frowned and waited for her to turn around and look at him. He was looking at the girl, while she kept looking at the moonlight without looking back at him! Was the moon more attractive than him?

Qiao Liang, who was in a bad mood because she was injured, felt even worse at this moment!

“Is the moon is more attractive than me?” Qiao Liang’s cold and deep sound rang behind Tang Xi.

Tang Xi slewed her head round, only to see Qiao Liang sitting on the sofa to her left with his arms crossed against his chest. Her eyes brightened. “There you are! I thought you left me alone in the hospital,” she said.

Qiao Liang frowned and looked sullen, and his aura turned aggressive in an instant. “Left you alone in the hospital?”

Tang Xi hurriedly added, “That’s because it’s too dark here! Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

Hearing this, Qiao Liang got up, walked to her bedside and sat down. “I was afraid the light might be too dazzling to you when you woke up.” With that, he reached out and turned on the little lamp at her bedside and his angry face was exposed to her eyes. The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched. Damn, she knew Sa and Jing would be angry, but she didn’t expect this man would be even angrier!

What was most unacceptable to this man now was that she was injured!

Just at the moment when Qiao Liang was going to speak, Tang Xi grasped his hand and said, “I really didn’t mean to get myself injured. I didn’t expect Xiao Jinning would suddenly pounce on me and push down the chair, nor did I expect my waist would bump against the chair. Most unexpectedly, I got my waist injured… and my ribs cracked…” Looking at Qiao Liang’s icy face, Tang Xi almost cried. She finished awkwardly, “I didn’t know this body was so… fragile… now.”

She had once fallen down from a tree without being injured. It was to her astonishment that she got so badly injured… just because of a little push…

Alas…

Qiao Liang frowned. “Were you wrong?”

Tang Xi pouted as she nodded and answered obediently, “I was wrong. I was really wrong. I was terribly wrong. Don’t be angry.”

Qiao Liang had never seen Tang Xi act like this before. A gleam of surprise flashed through his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. However, he couldn’t help but hold out his hand and rub her hair. Realizing he was “tamed” by Tang Xi, Qiao Liang frowned and withdrew his hand before asking in a low voice, “What did you do wrong?”

Tang Xi blinked… What did she do wrong?

She was wrong because her body was too fragile?

Come on! Can you stop asking me such questions? It’s not my fault that my body is fragile! I don’t wanna be like this! I want to improve my experience points very much!

Seeing Tang Xi look puzzled, Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes. This girl admitted she was wrong, but she didn’t even know what she did was wrong.

Seeing Qiao Liang glare at her as if he was going to swallow her, she immediately replied, “I shouldn’t assume that I won’t get hurt, nor should I put myself in danger. I won’t do that again!”

With that, Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang’s face and wondered if she had guessed right.

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi, asking, “Are you sure?”

Tang Xi nodded vigorously. “I’m pretty sure. I’ll always bring two bodyguards with me no matter what I do in the future. Even if I go to school, I’ll bring two bodyguards to protect myself. Please don’t be angry, okay?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi wordlessly. Tang Xi was so uneasy under his glare that she raised her hand and made a pledge. “I can swear.”

“Okay, then do it.”

Tang Xi blinked and was relieved to finally muddle it through. Fortunately, Qiao Liang was easy to appease. After all, he had always believed her and could never bear to see her sad!

Thinking of this, Tang Xi smiled smugly in her heart. Suddenly, she felt a heavy weight on her shoulder and found that Qiao Liang was leaning against her shoulder. Tang Xi was stunned. She looked sideways at Qiao Liang’s hair and was going to speak, when his low, husky voice rang in her ear. “Xixi, promise me you won’t get yourself hurt again, will you? Do you know how I felt when I heard you were in the hospital and sent into the operating room…”

He remembered when he heard the news about her at noon, he was in a meeting. He didn’t allow anyone to distract or interrupt him when he was in work, especially in important meetings, but this time he made an exception. After he left the meeting, his business partners were so surprised that they specially called him to ask him what happened…

If they knew it was because of a woman, no one could imagine how shocked they would be.

Tang Xi felt guilty upon hearing Qiao Liang’s helpless and heartbroken voice. She put her arms around Qiao Liang’s head and whispered, “Sorry, sorry…”

She didn’t know what to say right now, except that she was sorry.

She truly hadn’t meant to get herself hurt. No one would have expected Xiao Jinning to dare do such a thing to her at the police station! She had entered the interrogation room because she thought Xiao Jinning would not dare to attack her!

However, she had misjudged!
