Chapter 212: I Don’t Want It

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

When Tang Xi arrived at Xiao Hongyi’s house, Xiao Hongyi was waiting for her at the gate. When Tang Xi got out of the car, Xiao Yan happened to come out of the house too. When he saw Tang Xi, he gave her a faint smile. Then he walked over with his long legs, took the suitcase from the driveri. “Welcome home,” he said.

Tang Xi smiled. “Thank you. I just came to stay for a short while. I’ll leave when my mother gets better.”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. “Whatever you want.”

He had studied his mother’s illness. Lin Ru was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, so he was surely concerned about her. As soon as his mother had the accident, he had studied all the data on paralysis and brain damage and knew that it was near impossible for her to be cured. Even if she could, it would take at least several years, during which sister would live with them.

Tang Xi called Xiao Hongyi ‘Dad’, and Xiao Hongyi responded happily and asked her, “Is there any other luggage?”

Tang Xi smiled. “No, I won’t be here for long, so I didn’t bring a lot of things with me. I just brought with me some changes of clothes.”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, handed the suitcase to a servant and said to Tang Xi, “Your room has already been prepared. Go up and have a look. If you are not satisfied, we’ll arrange another room for you. And… if you need anything, I’ll accompany you to buy it later.”

Hearing Xiao Yan was going to go shopping with Tang Xi, the servants were all surprised and looked at Xiao Yan in shock. Though Young Master treated Miss Jinning very nicely, he never went shopping with her. However, when he heard his real sister was coming back, he went home from his company at noon, which was really rare, and now he was even going to go shopping with Miss!

Did it mean Miss Xiao Rou held greater importance than Miss Xiao Jinning in Young Master’s heart?

Tang Xi surely saw the shocked and surprised look on the servants’ faces. She smiled and looked up at Xiao Yan. “Brother, you don’t have to work?”

Xiao Yan felt so glad when he heard Tang Xiao Rou called him ‘Brother’. It sounded much better than ‘Cousin’. In a good mood, Xiao Yan talked a bit more than usual and took Tang Xi upstairs to her room in person, saying, “No, I don’t have work today. I’m always available for you.”

The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched. Why didn’t she find that Xiao Yan was honey-lipped before! If she were an innocent little girl, she would have been charmed by his sweet words!

Tang Xi shrugged casually, saying, “Brother, Thank you. I really need to go to the mall to buy some daily necessities. By the way, after I finish shopping, I’ll go to the Qiao’s International Group to find my third brother. So if you’re going to send me to go shopping with you, can you send me to Jing’s company after that?”

Xiao Yan’s steps obviously stopped for a moment. It had been quite a while before he shook his head in agreement. “Sure, no problem. Would you like to see your room first?”

The two siblings had been talking and Xiao Hongyi couldn’t get a single word into the conversation, so he went directly to see Lin Ru.

Already standing on the stairs, Tang Xi couldn’t go back, so she nodded and said, “Besides, I’m picky, so I won’t live in a room that someone else has lived in.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled. “It seems that we have a lot in common. I don’t like that either. So you can rest assured that your room is the empty room opposite my room. The room that person used to live in is used as a guest room.”

Not expecting Xiao Yan to be so considerate, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. At this time, the maid who had put Tang Xi’s luggage into her room came out and said to her, “Yes, Miss. Young Master is really nice to you. He heard Master say that you were coming back home, and came back to decorate your room in person. And the room opposite to Young Master’s room is very big. Miss Jinning always…” The maid paused, snuck a peek at their countenances and continued when she found that they had no trace of anger. “She always wanted this room, but Young Master refused her, saying that he would use it as his study. But now he gives this room to you.”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. As if explaining why he refused Xiao Jinning, he said casually, “I prefer the quiet, so I don’t want her to live opposite to me.”

Tang Xi smiled. “Brother, you’re really weird, but is it ok for me to live opposite to you?”

Xiao Yan answered, “Sure. You’re different.”

Tang Xi chuckled and entered the room as led by the maid. As soon as she walked in, the first thing she saw was the cool-colored theme, which was totally different from her imagination but very satisfactory to her. This was exactly her style. The blackish green color theme made the room look spacious and the decoration was simplistic. There was a desk and also a bookcase in the room. Tang Xi looked around and noticed that there was a cloakroom of over 20 square meters. Though it wasn’t very big, it was enough. And from the decoration, she could see that every detail was refined to the point of perfection.

As soon as Tang Xi walked out of the cloakroom, she saw Xiao Yan looking at her, leaning against the doorframe. She smiled at him and he raised his eyebrows. “Are you satisfied?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Very satisfied. Thank you, Brother.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Xiao Yan said. To him, having Tang Xi satisfied, was his pleasure.

Tang Xi smiled and entered the cloakroom dragging her suitcase behind her. Her clothes could hardly fill the cloakroom. Xiao Yan walked in. When he saw Tang Xi’s clothes and shoes only filled a cabinet, he frowned and remembered that Xiao Jinning’s clothes filled a whole truck when Lin Ru donated them. “Do you only have these clothes?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan. “Yes, any problem?”

Xiao Yan nodded. “Yes!” Without saying anything, he dragged Tang Xi out of the door. Tang Xi looked at the domineering Xiao Yan in astonishment and said coldly. “Brother, what’re you doing? Let me go!”

Xiao Yan immediately stopped, let go of her hand and looked back at her. “Filling your cloakroom!”

Hearing this, Tang Xi didn’t say anything but gave a sigh in her heart. “If Qiao Liang knows what you said, he’ll definitely jump up with anger! Don’t you know that these ambiguous words could only be said to your girlfriend? How can you say these words to your sister?”

“Well, Brother, I already have enough clothes to wear and I don’t need any more. That’s not to say that I can’t afford them. I just don’t want them.”
