Chapter 276: Competed for Her Favor
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi stared in shock at Qiao Liang who was cheek to cheek with her. This was the second time today that this man kissed her without asking for her permission! But damn it, she actually enjoyed it! Why didn’t she find he was so overbearing before!
They kissed on the back seat in an infatuated way… Little Six silently glanced at the rear view mirror and complained in his heart. “Young Master! I don’t mind you letting me know Miss Tang’s secret, nor do I mind serving as Miss Tang’s bodyguard, but why did you kiss her in front of me! That’s embarrassing!”
“Miss Tang is really a nice girl. She feared her death would bring you a psychological shadow, but even though she wanted to straighten you out, she was scared about hurting your feelings and put it tactfully. She is really… Okay, I’d better concentrate on driving…”
When Tang Xi and Qiao Yuxin arrived at Qiao Liang’s home, Qiao Yuxin had already had the servants get dinner ready. She was sitting on the chair and happily waiting for them. As soon as she saw them, she cheerfully waved at Tang Xi. “Rourou, come over here.”
Tang Xi smiled when she noticed the crutch beside Qiao Yuxin’s hand. She ran towards Qiao Yuxin. “Aunt, can you walk with a crutch now?”
Qiao Yuxin’s eyes sparkled when she heard her question, but she still shook her head. “Not yet, but I can stand up with others’ help, and sit here by myself. I think I may not need a crutch in the future. Thank you, my angel of luck.”
Qiao Liang also came over with a bright smile, put his arm around Tang Xi’s waist and whispered, “Thank you, my angel of luck.”
Tang Xi cast a shy glance at Qiao Liang, patted his hand off of her waist and sat beside Qiao Yuxin as she said gladly, “Thanks to your own efforts. If you hadn’t worked hard enough, even a hundred me put together couldn’t help you. According to your recovery speed, I think you will be able to walk in high heels before I graduate from high school.”

Qiao Yuxin was amused by her words. She knew what had happened to Xiao Rou before, but she only felt pity and sympathy for her, without any disdain. She smiled and beckoned Tang Xi to sit down. “Come on, take a seat and have dinner. If you keep praising me like this, I’ll be conceited and then I may not be able to stand up again. Then you’ll have to responsible for me.”
Tang Xi laughed. Suddenly she saw the seafood on the table, but when she was about to enjoy it, she remembered she was wearing a formal dress. She looked down at her clothes and sighed… How could she stuff herself with these delicacies in such a formal dress? She was still a kid. Why did she have to attend the school’s art performance in a formal dress?!
Qiao Yuxin’s gaze was fixed on Tang Xi’s smiling face and didn’t notice what she was wearing. Now seeing Tang Xi looked at her own clothes with a frown, she finally noticed Tang Xi’s beautiful dress. She exclaimed, “God, Rourou, did you attend some sort of party tonight? You look so beautiful…”
Qiao Yuxin washed his hands and began to peel shrimps for Tang Xi. When he heard Qiao Yuxin’s words, he looked up at Tang Xi and said with a smile, “She did attend a party but ended up with having a good nap…” Tang Xi ‘resentfully’ rolled her eyes at him. Qiao Liang laughed and put the shrimp flesh into her mouth, wiped his hand with a tissue and stood up as he said to Qiao Yuxin, “She will be uncomfortable to eat in this formal dress. I’ll take her to change.”
Tang Xi was so moved and looked gratefully at Qiao Liang. How could there be such a sweet boyfriend in the world!
Qiao Yuxin was all smiles when she saw the moved look on Tang Xi’s face. “Go ahead.”

Qiao Liang took Tang Xi to his room. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and gave a naughty smile. She then suddenly jumped to Qiao Liang’s side and asked, “Are you going to give me your clothes to wear?”
Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “If I am, are you going to wear them?”
Tang Xi shook her head and looked at Qiao Liang with sparkling eyes as she laughed. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself when you see me in your shirt…”
Qiao Liang shook his head with a smile and turned to open his wardrobe. Tang Xi was stunned when she saw what was in it…
This wasn’t the first time she went to Qiao Liang’s room, but it was the first time she saw the contents of his wardrobe… how could…
Tang Xi’s eyes turned red when she saw these familiar yet strange clothes. She turned to Qiao Liang and choked with sobs. “Why… are there… these clothes… here?”
Qiao Liang leaned against the wardrobe and reached out to wipe her tears off, saying with a smile. “That’s because your designs are so beautiful and suitable for you although they aren’t mature enough yet. My wardrobe is so big, so I want to fill it with your clothes.”
Tang Xi burst into tears. She rushed up and hugged Qiao Liang. “When did you prepare these?”
“I forget. It was so long ago. Today their owner can finally try them on.” Qiao Liang kissed her on the forehead. “Go change. They are yours, and each one of them suits you well. Mom is waiting downstairs. I’m going downstairs first. I don’t want to let her wait for too long.”
After Qiao Liang left, Tang Xi selected a casual dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and was surprised that the dress suited her perfectly. She might have forgotten these designs if she hadn’t seen these clothes in Qiao Liang’s wardrobe. She drew these designs on her notebook to kill time during breaks in school.
She remembered he had laughed at these “ugly” drawings, and she never expected that he turned these “ugly” clothes into such beautiful clothes…
When Tang Xi changed and walked downstairs, her bowl had been filled by the shrimp flesh that Qiao Liang peeled for her. She was very satisfied to see this. Qiao Yuxin joked, “Rourou, even I, his mother, hasn’t enjoyed this service from him! He never peeled shrimp for me… you’re special in his heart.”
Tang Xi smiled shyly. Qiao Liang didn’t save his mother any face and exposed her ‘lie’. “Who said she didn’t like shrimp and only wanted crab?”
Qiao Yuxin looked down at the crab flesh on her plate, shrugged and mumbled, “This is the first time you peeled crab for me. What’s the big deal…”
Qiao Liang dragged Tang Xi to sit down by his side and cast a helpless glance at his mom. “Mom, I can hear you…”
“So what?! I’m telling the truth!” She shouted when she saw Tang Xi sitting by Qiao Liang. “Hey, brat! Rourou is going to sit by me. Why did you drag her away?!”
Qiao Liang complacently raised the clasped hands of him and Tang Xi as if asserting his ownership of Tang Xi to his mother. “She is my girlfriend, not yours. And Mom, I remember I used to feed you soup spoonful by spoonful. Besides, crab will do no good to your health. I remember you didn’t eat it before.”
