Tang Xi was exhausted after working the whole day. She came back to the Empire Garden and directly fell onto her bed. The servants had changed the bedding. When she was about to fall asleep, her cell phone rang. She had wanted to end the call without even picking it up, but then she remembered it was another cell phone of hers ringing. So she picked up the call with her eyes closed and asked sleepily, “Hello, Xiao Rou.”

Chu Ling heard Tang Xi’s sleepy voice and asked grumpily, “I’ve got the tickets to fashion week. When will you give me your designs?”

Tang Xi who was previously feeling so sleepy jumped up when she heard this. She asked in excitement, “Really?” She didn’t expect Chu Ling was so capable and got the ticket with the two design drawings. After all, even established brands wouldn’t be able to get the ticket so easily, not to mention that The Queen that had just been founded!

If everything went well, The Queen would create a big stir and become a famous brand popular among the upper class.

After assuring Chu Ling that she would give him her works soon, Tang Xi hung up the phone and walked to the bathroom humming a tune. She stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom and looked at the skin mask on her face. She then pursed her lips and peeled off the mask…

After the shower, Tang Xi called Qiao Liang, telling him she was already in the Empire Garden and not to worry about her. Qiao Liang just grunted. Feeling the phone signal was poor, Tang Xi asked with a frown, “Where are you?”

“Underground.”

Tang Xi widened her eyes. “Underground?”

Qiao Liang. “Yes, open the door.”

Tang Xi jumped up to go to her cloakroom and open the basement. Soon Qiao Liang came out from the elevator. Tang Xi stared at him with wide eyes. “Why… why are you here?”

Qiao Liang didn’t answer her. He paused when he saw her face, then he put the food in his hands on the table and went to the bathroom as he said, “The lock of the basement must be changed. It’s too easy to open and not safe.”

Tang Xi didn’t follow him in, but walked towards the food and unpacked the food as she said, “It’s just that you’re too professional at unlocking things that should be locked. That lock is not so easy to open.”

Tang Xi’s eyes lit up when she saw the crayfish. She walked towards her bedroom carrying the food, took out a tablecloth from inside a drawer, laid it on the ground and sat down to eat it. “We’ve got a ticket for Paris Fashion Week. Chu Ling is really good. I just gave him the design drawings the night before, and he has got the ticket so soon! I think if everything works well, The Queen will surpass the Qiao’s soon.”

“Okay.” Qiao Liang walked out of the bathroom. He didn’t take a shower or wash his hair but actually washed his hands and casually undid two buttons of his white shirt. Tang Xi looked up only to see this handsome man undoing his buttons. She swallowed her saliva and hurriedly looked away. “Come over and eat it.”

Qiao Liang looked at her blushing face and smiled. He strode over, sat beside her, opened a glass of juice and handed it to her. “You must be exhausted today, right?”

Tang Xi took a look at and found him so attractive at this moment. She looked him up and down and her face was getting redder and redder. Exhausted… well… exhausted… Why did this common word arouse such strange thoughts out of her? She lunged to her feet and ran towards the bathroom as she said, “I’m full. You eat it. By the way, you’ll have to sleep in the basement tonight…”

Qiao Liang watched her suddenly run into the bathroom, then lowered his head to look at his bare chest, gave a pleased smile and began to peel the crayfish. He put the peeled crayfish into a box and shouted to the bathroom when he finished peeling it. “The crayfish have been peeled. Come out and eat it.”

Tang Xi couldn’t resist the temptation, opened the door of the bathroom and looked outside. Qiao Liang took the box. “Come over here.” After hesitating for two seconds, Tang Xi finally walked over, sat beside Qiao Liang and began to eat the crayfish. Qiao Liang looked at her, put a peeled crayfish into that box and said. “We’re going back to City A tomorrow afternoon. It’s Monday the day after tomorrow and you should go to school.”

Tang Xi agreed and Qiao Liang suddenly said, “But I’m not going to sleep in the basement tonight.”

Tang Xi blushed again and looked up at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang had an urge to gently pinch her cheek when he saw her face was all red, but he couldn’t because his hands were stained with sauce. He looked at Tang Xi and said in a low voice, “Don’t you want me to have a good sleep? How can I fall asleep without you accompanying me?”

Tang Xi froze. He was just telling the truth, but why did she suddenly… blush when she heard this!

What’s the matter with her?!

Why did she suddenly feel shy?

Tang Xi fell silent for quite a while before she suddenly said, “I’m too weak to have s*x now.”

Now it was Qiao Liang’s turn to be stunned. He looked at Tang Xi in astonishment, and the latter pursed her lips. “You know, Xiao Rou was in poor health, and had died. Then I was reborn in this body, which was another blow to this body, so this body became very weak, and I had an accident last time, so… you know…”

Qiao Liang didn’t expect Tang Xi suddenly mentioned s*x…

“Xixi, you…”

“It must be hard for you suppressing your sensual passion all these years, right?” Without giving Qiao Liang time to finish, Tang Xi interrupted him and nodded seriously, “I know men have sexual desires, but this body is too weak, so I can’t do that with you, I… but I promise I’ll build up this body as soon as possible…”

As if he had known what she was thinking of, Qiao Liang smiled. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Tang Xi was stunned. She was seducing him! Shouldn’t he jump her, give her a French kiss and say you gotta make up for me in the future? Why did he just say I’ll wait for you?!

Could he really control himself so well?

Damn it! He had turned her on, but he seemed not to be affected at all!

Tang Xi suddenly stood up, saying, “I’m full. I don’t want to eat anymore. I’m going to have a shower.”

Qiao Liang looked at her back and frowned. Didn’t she just have a shower?

Tang Xi walked out of the bathroom in several minutes, and Qiao Liang finally knew why she suddenly said she was going to have a shower…
