Tang Xi took a look at He Wanyi. Yao seemed to be dating Sister Wanyi? Didn’t he tell her he was on a mission that was a bit dangerous?
Maybe Yao didn’t want Sister Wanyi to be worried about him?
Thinking of this, Tang Xi thought she’d better respect Xiao Yao’s decision. If he purposely hid this from Sister Wanyi to save her from worry, she shouldn’t have told what he was up to to Sister Wanyi.
Besides, she thought if Sister Wanyi knew Yao’s job was so dangerous, she might not want to continue with this relationship…
“I have no idea. I merely heard that he was on a secret mission, so he couldn’t contact anyone until this mission is completed. Sorry I can’t help you, Sister Wanyi.” Tang Xi sighed, took He Wanyi’s hand and said gently, “I don’t know why, but Qiao Liang is abroad on business for several months, so is my eldest brother Xiao Yan whom I haven’t heard from since last Spring Festival.
He Wanyi pursed her lips and looked at Tang Xi. “I had thought you might have some news. It turns out that Xiao Yao isn’t contacting you either. Oh, I really should have answered that call.” Then she said in regret. “When he left, I was doing a TV commercial at the airport. If I had answered his call, I would have been able to meet with him. Unfortunately, my assistant answered it, and when I went back, his plane was going to take off.”
Tang Xi patted her hand. “He will come back soon.”
At this time, the male lead of this movie came over to rehearse with Tang Xi. The latter stood up and rehearsed with him. This actor, as a strength idol, has many fans. After rehearsing with Tang Xi, he invited her for dinner.
Tang Xi had discovered that this actor wanted to chase her, but she just pretended to know nothing so as not to affect the shooting. She didn’t expect he would directly invite her for dinner. She rejected politely, and that actor was not annoyed. He just said, “Then let’s have dinner another day.” and left.
As soon as the actor left, He Wanyi chuckled. She stood up and put her arm around Tang Xi’s shoulder. “If Qiao Liang doesn’t come back soon, our Rourou might be stolen by that gentle and charming hunk.”
“He is not my type.” Tang Xi raised her eyebrows.
“You mean Qiao Liang is your type?” He Wanyi laughed and said, “In fact, I was really surprised when I knew you were Qiao Liang’s girlfriend. You’re such a sweet girl, but Qiao Liang is an iceberg. How can you put up with him?”
Tang Xi shrugged and said with a smile, “No, he is never an iceberg when he is with me. He is only cold to you guys.”
Her husband just needed to love her and be nice to her family. She never wanted a womanizer to be her husband.
Thinking of this, Tang Xi looked back at He Wanyi and smiled. “Isn’t my brother an iceberg too? He is even colder than Qiao Liang.”
He Wanyi couldn’t agree more with Tang Xi’s words. She nodded hard. “Yes, exactly. Sometimes I wonder why I chose your brother. He used to be so cold to me and even seldom spoke to me! Every time I tried to chat with him, he was always silent. I wondered why he suddenly changed his attitude to me when we were in Paris…”
He Wanyi was sure if Xiao Yao hadn’t made the first move, she wouldn’t have had the courage to hug him, let alone ask him to be her boyfriend.
Tang Xi smiled, looked at He Wanyi and said, “Perhaps that’s because you’re too good to pass for my brother .”
“I think so.”
At this time, He Wanyi’s assistant came over and said to Tang Xi, “Miss Tang, a lady wants to see you. She looks a bit familiar to me. She said her family name was Qiao.”
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up and she walked towards outside. “It must be Aunt Qiao. Let me go to see her.”
“Well, Sister Tang Xi.” The assistant hurriedly called to her. Tang Xi stopped her steps and looked back at her, and the assistant said with a smile, “Your two mothers have also come. Now the three of them are waiting for you.”
The smile on Tang Xi’s face immediately disappeared. She asked in a panic, “Who came first?”
“Ms. Qiao. Just when she said she wanted to see you, your two mothers arrived, so…” The assistant scratched her head awkwardly and continued, “Anyway, they seem to get along.”
Tang Xi swallowed and turned her eyes to He Wanyi, asking for her help. He Wanyi laughed and threw up her hands. Tang Xi shook her head. “No, help me, Sister Wanyi!”
He Wanyi laughed. “You’ll only be more embarrassed if I go with you, so I’d better not go with you.”
Tang Xi slowly and reluctantly walked to the lounge where the three middle-aged women were chatting happily. Yang Jingxian and Qiao Yuxin were cousins, so they had a lot of topics to talk about. After a while, they began to talk about why Qiao Yuxin came here to see Tang Xi.
Qiao Yuxin smiled. “I met Rourou in a sanatorium and we got along very well. She helped me a lot and we kept in touch since then, so I came to visit her today.” She looked at Tang Ya and said with a smile, “You gave birth to a good girl.”
Glad to hear that, Tang Ya nodded all smiles. “Yes, she is such a good girl. I truly regret treating her like that before. Although she grew up in a poor family, she is so excellent and successful. Now she has started her career in the entertainment industry.”
“Yes, my son never fell for a woman, but now he told me he would marry Rourou. Do you know how excited when I heard that?!” Qiao Yuxin said with a smile.
Yang Jingxian and Tang Ya both gasped. Yang Jingxian looked at Qiao Yuxin. “Are you talking about Qiao Liang?”
“Yeah, he begged me to go the Yang Family because he wanted to see Rourou. I didn’t want to go out in the first place because of my legs, but to my surprise, he then told me he loved Rourou and they had been together for half a year. And now I think it’s time for me to let you know about their relationship.” Qiao Yuxin said and the smile on her face spread. “He hasn’t come to see Rourou with me because he is abroad. When he comes back, I’ll have him pay you a formal visit.”
