Chapter 190: Tang Xi’s Little Secret

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Hearing Tang Xi’s voice, Qiao Liang’s heavy heart lightened a little. He nodded and said softly, “Yes, I am. Your grandpa is now undergoing a medical examination, and I’m in your room right now.” No one could see the faint smile on his lips, which was Qiao Liang’s tenderness exclusive for Tang Xi.

Yang Jingxian had adjusted Tang Xi’s bed higher today. She was leaning against the bed and eating an apple. Hearing his words, Tang Xi widened her eyes. “Where did you say you are?”

Hearing her surprised, Qiao Liang smiled and was in a better mood. “I’m in your room, which is much better than your princess room in the Xiao Family. I still like your queen side.”

“Get out of my room, right now!” Tang Xi held tightly the apple in her hand and almost burst into tears. Damn it, if he found out how she had missed him, it would be so embarrassing! The more Tang Xi thought about it, the more she was sure that she couldn’t let Qiao Liang stay in her room anymore. “Do you hear me? Get out of my room now! How can you enter my room without permission?”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. He would have walked out if Tang Xi hadn’t spoken so, but hearing how she was so desperate to drive him out, he felt there must be something wrong, so he began to wander around Tang Xi’s room while speaking to her casually. “Who said I entered your room without permission? I came in after getting Butler Tang’s permission.”

Tang Xi was speechless. Butler Tang! Grandpa! How could you just let someone enter my room so easily?

“That’s my room, not his! What he said doesn’t count. Get out of there!” Tang Xi spluttered. Oh, why didn’t she destroy all traces before she went to travel? Please don’t let Qiao Liang see her…

Qiao Liang strolled around her room again, but didn’t find anything special. He frowned as he looked around and said to Tang Xi, “My dear, may I remind you? Your name is Xiao Rou now, and this room isn’t yours anymore. All I need to do now is to ask the owner’s permission.”

Angry at Qiao Liang’s words, Tang Xi hung up the phone with a snap.

Who was to blame for her becoming like this? Him! He broke up with her! If he hadn’t done that, she wouldn’t have made it a habit to travel abroad!

Now he even said that she was not Tang Xi and couldn’t decide who could enter her room anymore! Oh! She was angry!

Tang Xi was upset and secretly prayed that Qiao Liang wouldn’t find any trace in her room.

After she hung up the phone, Qiao Liang shook his head helplessly, put his cellphone away and continued to search and looked around in Tang Xi’s room. There had to be some little secret about him in Xixi’s room.

He disdained to pry into the privacy of others, but he was eager to know whether Xixi really hadn’t thought of him at all in the past few years when they were not together, and whether she had truly excluded him out of her heart.

Just then, Qiao Liang suddenly saw a red dress hanging in a hanger in Tang Xi’s cloakroom. Tang Xi was very talented in design. She used to draw jewelry and clothing on paper when she was bored, so the clothes in her cloakroom were mostly designed by herself, except for some that were gifted to her by famous luxury brands.

However, Qiao Liang hadn’t seen this red dress before. It had to have been designed by Tang Xi after he broke up with her. The fiery-red dress had a fishtail and deep V-chest design. Its hemline was exceptionally long and shaped like a flower. Qiao Liang could imagine how beautiful Tang Xi would be when she put on this dress.

She didn’t become a designer as she wished, but Qin Xinying who was always beside her became a designer, which surprised Qiao Liang a lot. To his greater surprise, she had never given up designing. It was no wonder that she made friends with those internationally renowned fashion designers and was a great admirer of the top luxury brands in the world. Every time they launched a new product, the first person to receive it must have been Tang Xi.

Qiao Liang smiled as he walked over to the red dress and touched it. At that moment, the clothes that had been hanging in the wardrobe suddenly began to move to either side and a door appeared in the wardrobe. A gleam of surprise flashed through Qiao Liang’s eyes. He smiled helplessly, walked over and pulled the door open.

There was an elevator inside the door. Qiao Liang was surprised to see that there was an elevator in her room. Without any hesitation, he got into the elevator. At the moment he entered it, the door of the wardrobe closed automatically and the separated clothes slowly returned to their original positions.

As the elevator landed, Qiao Liang took a deep breath. He became nervous. For the first time, he felt nervous. This might be a little world of Tang Xi that might have nothing to do with him…

However, at the very moment when the elevator stopped and the elevator door opened, the nervousness and uneasiness in Qiao Liang’s heart were all gone. Everything here was about him, Newspapers with his photos on them were placed on the bed, and the group photos of him and her were made into big posters and hung over the bed. The presents he gifted her were all here, and the words he said to her were made into cartoons that were posted on the wall. At this moment, Qiao Liang felt that what he had done for her all these years was worth it. It turned out that he had not been alone in those four years. There had been someone else also deeply trapped in the whirlpool of pain.

Qiao Liang walked over. The place was full of dust, perhaps because nobody had cleaned up this room for a long time. He stretched out his hand and gently wiped at the photo frame put on the nightstand clean. It was the photo taken during their first date when they were still very young but very happy, of him smiling happily and her leaning against his shoulder, laughing more happily.

Xixi, was this what you were trying to hide from me?

He took out his cellphone and dialed Tang Xi’s number again. Tang Xi looked at her phone, curled her lips but still answered the phone. “Didn’t you say I’m not…”

“I love you.” Qiao Liang’s voice was a bit hoarse. He said tenderly to the phone again, “I love you.”

Because I love you, I had to break up with you. It really hurt when I broke up with you, but for your sake, I could only do that.

Tang Xi froze and her eyes suddenly turned red. Her voice was hoarse and she asked softly, “Did you see it?”
