Chapter 380: You Don’t Need Me
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
In an instant, Tang Xi felt the air freeze and she couldn’t breathe, but she still stared at Qiao Liang stubbornly, tried to ignore the utterly disappointed look on his face and said flatly, “I’m too tired. You love and your care for me are suffocating me. Although it’s great to be loved by someone, it gives me great pressure being loved and protected by you, just like you felt pressured by my act of saving you at the risk of my life. I don’t want to be protected by you like a useless person. Since you don’t need me anymore, let me leave.”
“I don’t need you?” Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi and sneered. “Do you really have a heart? You know I can’t go without you! But you just take advantage of this to hurt my heart! How can you be so cruel to me??”
“No.” Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang, pursed her lips and said expressionlessly, “You can make it without me. You lived well in the five years when I was not by your side, didn’t you? Qiao Liang, I don’t think I’m that important to you. You just use me to fill the void in your heart.”
“That’s enough!” Qiao Liang snapped. “I don’t want to continue this topic. Let me send you to the show field.”
“No, I’ll go there myself.” Tang Xi walked outside, saying calmly, “I don’t think we can have a future together. We’re doomed to part due to our personalities. Since you’re not willing to change, I’ve run out of my patience. Let’s break up.”
“Xiao Rou!” Qiao Liang grabbed Tang Xi’s hand and said harshly, “Don’t make me say it again! You know I will do anything when I get angry! I will send those who caused this quarrel between us to hell!”

Hearing Qiao Liang’s threat, Tang Xi paused and whipped around to stare at Qiao Liang. The latter looked at her, sneered and then turned to Little Five, saying coldly, “Bring the people who she met last night to the interrogation room of our branch office. Don’t miss anyone!”
“Qiao Liang!” Tang Xi was stunned. She grabbed Qiao Liang’s arm and shouted in tears, “What else can you do except threatening me? You can’t show your love to me by threatening me! I hate you!”
With that, she turned around and walked out, without looking back. That’s it. He can do whatever he does! Even if he killed for her, it had nothing to do with her! If he did kill anyone because of her, she wouldn’t see him again in this life with 008’s help! She swore he would never see her again!
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi’s back and clenched his hands. He paused for two seconds and strode up to open the car door for Tang Xi. Tang Xi silently took a look at him, pursed her lips and got into the car. Qiao Liang sat in the driver’s seat and started the car.
The agents of Long Xiao looked at the car and looked at each other with doubt. What did they see just now? Their Young Master who was always calm and indifferent was quarreling with….a woman! That was….
An agent secretly sent the video that he just secretly shot to someone, put away his cell phone and asked with a smile, “Shall we follow Young Master or go back to deal with that Young Master Kloss?”
Little Five thought for a while and said, “… Little Six, follow Young Master. You’re supposed to follow Miss Xiao as you’re her bodyguard. We have something to tend to in the branch office, so we’ll go back.”

Lin Yuan who was in Country M looked at his cell phone and found someone sent him a video. He frowned and clicked on the video. As he watched the video, his eyes brightened and in the end he ended up laughing out loud. “Qiao Liang, this girl is the bane of your life! I never expect you will be at a loss of what to do to a person one day!”
His assistant seeing him laughing like a mad person couldn’t help asking him, “What happened, Mr. Nine?”
Lin Yuan looked back at him and kept laughing, saying, “Nothing. Book me a ticket to Paris tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
His assistant took a look at Lin Yuan, and raised his eyebrows, asking, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go to Paris? Why do you suddenly want to go there? We’re going to the Middle East. Shall I cancel our trip to the Middle East?”
Lin Yuan glared at his assistant, pursed his lips and asked, “Are you stupid? I must go to see my savior! You can handle the affairs in the Middle East. Why must I go there?” He had never seen Qiao Liang being scolded so harshly that he dared not to fight back like this. He must go to Paris to see that adorable Miss Xiao Rou, and perhaps he could take revenge on the b*stard Qiao Liang through Miss Xiao Rou!
In the show field, Chu Ling was watching the workers building the stage and the stand. The work had almost been finished overnight. Tang Xi got out of the car and walked up to Chu Ling. The latter saw her, said a few words to the supervisor and walked towards her, asking, “What are you doing here?”
Tang Xi hid her emotions and looked at the workers busy working along the lake with a smile and answered, “I came over to see how it was going. I’ll go check the garments and jewelry later. This is my first show and I’m a bit uneasy. I want to do everything myself so that I won’t be so nervous.”
Chu Ling nodded and said, “Okay, wait a minute. Let me tell them something needs my attention.” Just then, he saw Qiao Liang entering the field in a shuttle bus. His eyes had a gleam of surprise, but he didn’t think much about it and turned to talk with the workers.
Qiao Liang walked up to Tang Xi, and the latter pursed her lips, walked away from him and took out her cell phone to chat with He Wanyi and Ning Yan via WeChat.
Seeing Tang Xi give him a cold shoulder, Qiao Liang frowned and his eyes had a chilly gleam. However, Tang Xi didn’t even look at him and had no idea of how he felt.
Chu Ling walked over and found that the two of them looked strange. The three of them got into the shuttle bus. Qiao Liang sat in the front row; Tang Xi looked at him, pursed her lips and sat in the back row. Chu Ling blinked and sat in the middle row. He looked back at Tang Xi, then at Qiao Liang and frowned, asking, “Why aren’t the little couple sitting together?”
Tang Xi glanced at him and looked away, and Qiao Liang gave him no response.
