Chapter 222: I Don’t Need Any Betrothal Gift
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
No wonder their young master received a ticket. They caused a traffic jam!
They never expected their ‘Mr. Iceberg’ young master would cause a traffic jam because of kissing a woman!
Little Five came to himself and said, “Come on, delete the video and check the signals on the streets nearby. By the way, if anyone uploads any message about this to social media, delete it right away.”
Although Young Master didn’t care about his image, the Qiao’s International Group did. If they didn’t delete it, the Qiao’s International Group would make the headlines tomorrow ‘The Mr. Iceberg President of the Qiao’s turned out to be a love-struck man’.
God, Little Five believed the Qiao’s International Group’s stock would slump down to the lowest level if that happened!
Besides, the Qiao’s International Group was right at a crucial time and their enemies were ready to move. If those people made an issue of it, Young Master would have a mountain of trouble…
He wasn’t worried that Young Master would be afraid because of it. He just didn’t want those people to threaten Young Master with Miss Xiao. If Young Master was irritated, something horrible may happen.
From what he knew of his young master, he would definitely take revenge in the most savage manner if he got angry!
On the other side, when Qiao Liang hung up the phone, Tang Xi couldn’t help asking, “Why did you give your business card to that traffic policeman?”
Since Little Five would deal with it, he didn’t have to give his business card to that policeman. As Little Five would delete all videos with Qiao Liang in, he could just run away when the policeman was writing the ticket if he drove fast enough. He really didn’t have to give the policeman his business card, leaving an evidence…

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “That’s a vice-president’s business card.”
“Ah?” Tang Xi was dumbfounded. President Qiao, why did you bring a vice-president’s business card with you? Are you secretly in love with him?!
Qiao Liang smiled. He rubbed Tang Xi’s hair, drove the car into another lane and explained, “That vice-president is too quiet recently. I feel a bit uneasy, so I must find him something to do.”
“So you bring his business cards with you?” Tang Xi asked contemplatively. Even if you wanted to make trouble for him, you didn’t have to bring his business card with you.
“I just put it in my pocket. I didn’t expect I would use it today. I think if the traffic police couldn’t find the surveillance video, they’ll probably post it online. That vice-president is too leisurely. I should find him something to do, in case he thinks he really is safe.”
Tang Xi immediately got what he was saying. She raised her eyebrows. “What you’ve been doing has something to do with this VP, right?”
Qiao Liang turned on the indicator. The car entered a lane and stopped at a three-layered office building after driving for about two hundred meters. “Here we are.”
When Tang Xi saw this office building, her eyes lit up. She immediately forgot what she asked Qiao Liang just now and got off the car. Seeing there was the sign of ‘the Queen’ on the building, she looked back at Qiao Liang in surprise. “Did you rent the whole building for me?”
Qiao Liang got out of the car. Looking at the satisfied smile on her face, he shook his head. “I bought it. It’s my investment on your company. You can pay me back when your company’s business gets on track, or…”

Tang Xi looked at him against the sunlight, cracking a bright smile. “Or what?”
“Or you can take it as my betrothal gift.” Qiao Liang quickly walked to her and hugged her around the waist from behind. He put his chin on her shoulder and looked at the well-renovated building among skyscrapers with her, whispering, “I’ll be the investor and you’ll be in charge of the operation. Just take it as my betrothal gift for you, alright?”
“No.” Tang Xi looked back at Qiao Liang and smiled. “I’ll pay you back and I’ll be my company’s investor. I don’t need any betrothal gift.”
Qiao Liang frowned. “Why?””
“It’s because I won’t have any sense of accomplishment if I completely rely on you.” Tang Xi looked up at the big building. Although it only had three layers, it was enough for a start-up. One layer would be enough, let alone it had three layers.
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “What will bring you a sense of accomplishment?”
Tang Xi smiled, looked back at Qiao Liang and said confidently, “I’ll have a sense of accomplishment if I have this company as my dowry.”
Qiao Liang smiled. “Okay, whatever you want.”
Tang Xi chuckled and kissed him on the cheek. “Thank you, my Baymax.”
Qiao Liang smiled and looked satisfied. He kissed her on the cheek too and asked, “So you only allow me to kiss your cheek in return for my great help?”
Tang Xi blushed but wasn’t angry. “Then what do you want?”
“A French kiss. Just now…”
“Stop it! Jin Han and Manyan are coming. It’ll be embarrassing if they see us being like this!” Tang Xi’s face was all red. Why didn’t she find before in the past that her boyfriend liked kissing her so much?!
“Haha… well… actually…” As soon as Tang Xi stopped, Li Manyan’s embarrassed laughter rang behind them, “In fact, well, we’ve been here for a while…”
Li Manyan looked back and glared at Jin Han, as if complaining, “It’s all your fault. If you didn’t make the noise, we’d have been able to watch the prince and the princess having a French kiss!”
Tang Xi was even more embarrassed. She hurriedly got out of Qiao Liang’s arms, smiled at Li Manyan and said blushing, “Since you’re here, let’s have a look at the inside. As you two are the first employees of our company, you have the right to choose your offices.”
The two greeted Tang Xi and Qiao Liang. Tang Xi responded awkwardly with her face all red, and turned to enter the building, while Qiao Liang nodded at them with a straight face and followed Tang Xi in.
Looking at Qiao Liang, Li Manyan exclaimed like an anthomaniac. She rubbed her chest and elbowed Jin Han whose face was all dark. “Have you seen it? President Qiao! The legendary President Qiao! Oh, he is so nice to Boss! It’s super romantic when they hugged! My heart has melted! It’s turned into a puddle! Oh, so sweet!”
Jin Han coldly glanced at Li Manyan and sneered. “It’s shameless to do this kind of thing in public! Shameless!”
