Chapter 538: What Happened to Him
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
After a day of filming, Tang Xi was so tired that she didn’t even want to move her toes, but thinking of what happened today, she still took a look at her watch and went to the balcony to call Qiao Liang.
For the last few months, she would chat with Qiao Liang via WeChat almost every day. He would reply to her but seldom called her.
Looking at his phone number, Tang Xi pursed her lips and pressed on the number. Soon Qiao Liang picked up the call. “It’s 2 am in China, isn’t it? And you haven’t slept?”
Listening to his gentle voice, Tang Xi felt that her fatigue had been relieved. She smiled, leaned against the rails and said, “I just finished my job today and suddenly missed you, so I called you. You haven’t slept either?”
Qiao Liang took a breath. “No, I dealt with some business affairs and then went to visit Lu Li in the hospital.”
“Hasn’t he woken up?” Tang Xi frowned. In fact, what she wanted to ask was would he not come back if Lu Li didn’t wake up, but she knew she shouldn’t ask this. His good brother was lying on the bed dying. She really shouldn’t be jealous, so she didn’t ask that question.
Qiao Liang answered, “Not yet, but Luo Feng said he was recovering. I’ll go back to China when he gets better.”
Tang Xi said, “Okay, do you have any news about Yao? Sister Wanyi can’t reach him. I’m very worried about him.”
Qiao Liang was reading emails via his tablet PC when he was answering her questions. “They are in South Africa, in a desert where there isn’t any phone signal. Don’t worry. When I call Lin Yuan next time, I’ll have him tell Xiao Yao to contact He Wanyi.”

Tang Xi grunted in response. Feeling she sounded a bit strange today, Qiao Liang asked her, “Do you have something to tell me?”
Tang Xi pouted and asked, “Do you want to get married?”
Qiao Liang paused, put the tablet PC on the table, sat down and asked with a faint smile, “Why did you suddenly ask me this? Do you want to get married?”
“I just want to ask you for your opinion. Do you want to get married?” Tang Xi played with the glass in her hand and felt a bit embarrassed. Qiao Liang had proposed to her and they had been together for such a long time, so by rights, she shouldn’t feel shy, but to her surprise, she was really shy.
“Did something happen today?”
Tang Xi sighed and told him what happened today. Soon Qiao Liang laughed. “You sold Xiao Yao. If he knows this, he won’t let you off.”
Tang Xi snorted. “That’s impossible. Yao is very nice to me, and he will marry Sister Wanyi soon.”
“Alright. I’ll go back to China when Lu Li’s condition is better.” Qiao Liang said with a smile, “Our relationship has finally been made public. It’s time for me to go back and fawn on my future mother-in-law.”
“Tut, why didn’t realize that before?” Tang Xi felt smiled sweetly.
“Okay, it’s time for sleep. Come on, go to sleep. It’s already after midnight. Will you still have to start your work as early as five or six am tomorrow?” Qiao Liang didn’t want to see her being so tired. If he had known this job was so tiring… he should have accompanied her.
Although he couldn’t stop her from working so hard, he could stay by her side and take good care of her.

“Okay, but you know what, now my experience points are all surging, and even my physical point is going to reach the upper limit. I think my experience points will still rise after this movie is released. Then I will reach the goal of being a ‘national goddess’.” Tang Xi said excitedly. If she had known shooting movies could build up her body and make her experience point rise, she would have chosen to become an actress instead of opening a company!
…
The next morning, Qiao Liang was awakened by a call. He took a look at the caller ID and sat up. When he became soberer, he picked up the call. “What’s up?”
“Lu Li has awakened, but his condition is not good. Come have a look.” Luo Feng’s cold voice rang.
Qiao Liang hung up, washed up, changed and went outdoor.Read latest chapters at wuxiaworld.site
In the hospital, Luo Feng had already waited for him. Qiao Liang quickly came up to him and asked, “What happened?”
“His reaction becomes very slow. It seems that his nervous system has been damaged. Although he just woke up from a long coma, his situation is a bit abnormal. He can’t even recognize us.” Luo Feng said solemnly. “Generally speaking, people who have been in a coma for more than a few months will move and think very slowly when they wake up, but they can still think. However, Lu Li seems not to be able to think and his eyes are lifeless.”
Qiao Liang paused and took a deep look at Luo Feng. “Have you given him a physical check?”
“Sure.” Luo Feng sighed. “I think you should be prepared. The worse situation is that he might stay like this for the rest of his life.”
“I see. I believe Lu Li will recover. This is just temporary.” Qiao Liang said and walked, but after walking two steps, he stopped. He looked at Wen Ning standing in the crowd, frowned and walked up to her, asking coldly, “Why are you here?”
“I’ve quit my job.” Wen Ning looked at Qiao Liang. “I know what you are worrying about. I quit my job and no one knows I came here. Lin Yuan helped me get here. Please, let me see Lu Li”
Qiao Liang looked at Wen Ning. It had been quite a while before he said in a lowered voice, “You’ll regret when you see the current him, so you’d better not see him.”
“No, I won’t. Let me see him. I really want to see him, even if he is still in a coma. Please, just let me have a look at him, just one glance.”
Qiao Liang looked at her deeply. “Wen Ning, do you really have the courage to meet the current him?”
Wen Ning nodded. Qiao Liang frowned. “To tell you the truth, even I am afraid of seeing the current Lu Li. I don’t have the courage to face him. Are you sure you have the courage?”
Wen Ning’s heart sank to the bottom. “What’s wrong with him?”
