Throughout the dinner, Tang Xi had been watching Qiao Yuxin and Qiao Liang bickering and joined them from time to time. The atmosphere was very lively, and this was the first time that Tang Xi saw Qiao Liang speak so much all these years, although he ate very little and kept peeling shrimp for her or putting food into Qiao Yuxin’s bowl with chopsticks.
Tang Xi ate almost one kilogram of bamboo shrimp in this meal. She burped in a way not graceful at all, put down her chopsticks and said with satisfaction, “I can’t eat anymore. If I continue to eat, I will be too full to fall asleep tonight.”
Qiao Liang smiled and handed a cup of fruit juice to Tang Xi who took a mouthful of it and returned the cup to Qiao Liang. He took it over, drank some juice and put it on the side. He then pushed a te of unpeeled shrimp to Tang Xi, and thetter gave him a questioning look and blinked. “Are you hungry?”
Qiao Liang nodded and grunted. “Yes.”
Tang Xi paused for quite a while before she got what he meant. Qiao Yuxin who was sitting opposite themughed when she saw this. “Rourou, I rarely see my son act so childishly in front of girls. Please don’t refuse him!”
Tang Xi blushed. She knew Qiao Liang didn’t eat much. He was busy peeling shrimps for her and picking up food for Qiao Yuxin, while she and Qiao Yuxin were chatting. Now they were full, but he was still hungry... Thinking of this, Tang Xi silently picked up a shrimp and began to peel it for him...
But she was not good at peeling shrimps. Qiao Liang needed twenty seconds or so to peel one shrimp, but she needed two minutes. After taking off the shell, she also had to remove the dirty guts... The shrimp was almost shredded by her. Under Qiao Yuxin’s stare, Tang Xi put the shrimp flesh to Qiao Liang’s mouth. Qiao Liang smiled, took a look at her and ate the shrimp dly. When Tang Xi was busy peeling shrimps for him, he took his chopsticks, ate two mouthfuls of food and drank the juice that Tang Xi didn’t drink up... In this time, Tang Xi only managed to peel the second shrimp...
Half an hourter, Qiao Liang finally finished the dinner. Fortunately, it was summer. If it were winter, the dishes might have to heated for more than one time. Qiao Liang was full, but Tang Xi felt hungry again... But she decided not to eat anymore, because she didn’t want to beughed at by someone...
The two helped Qiao Yuxin to sit on the sofa and watch TV. Tang Xi decided to give Qiao Yuxin acupuncture in half an hour. Just then, Qiao Yuxin’s cell phone rang. He picked it up, listened for a while and nodded. “Okay, let me ask her.” He then turned to Tang Xi. “They are in the “Romantic Night” club now and asked us toe over. Do you want to go there?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Is that the same bar we went tost time?”
Qiao Liang nodded. “Yes, are you going there?”
Tang Xi smiled. “Okay, it’s Saturday tomorrow, and I want to talk with Sister Wanyi about the details of our cooperation. I can take the chance to talk with her tonight.” Tang Xi paused and said, “But we’ll be going thereter, because I need to give Aunt acupuncture. Will they have left when we reach there?”
Qiao Liang nodded, looked at his watch and said, “It’ll be almost ten o’clock when we get there.”
He then looked up at Tang Xi. “They said they would leave at midnight at the earliest.”
Tang Xi nodded. “Okay, then we’ll go there.”
When Qiao Liang hung up the phone, Qiao Yuxin said, “My legs have been much better. It’s alright if you don’t give me acupuncture tonight. You can go have fun. I know young people today are busy and don’t have much time to rx. It’s great to have a party to attend. Just go there.”
Tang Xi shook her head and looked at her watch. “It’s still early, and tonight’s treatment is important. I’ll acupuncture another acupoint on you. The treatment can’t be canceled.” With that, she came to hold Qiao Yuxin’s arm and said cutely, “I’d rather see you walk than hang out with them.” She gave a bright smile. “Aunt, you’re so beautiful and graceful. You must look stunningly beautiful when you stand up and walk.”
Qiao Yuxin was greatly amused by her words. Sheughed, gently patted Tang Xi’s hand and said, “You’re really honey-lipped, Rourou. Every time youe here, I’m very happy. How I hope you marry Ah Liang earlier.”
Tang Xi chuckled. Qiao Liang nced at his mom. “Unfortunately, my proposal was rejected by her today.”
Tang Xi blinked but didn’t speak. Qiao Yuxin was surprised to hear that, but then red at Qiao Liang and said, “Who can you me? It’s all your fault. You just came to know Rourou. She hasn’t known you well enough and you haven’t showed her your sincerity. Of course she wouldn’t agree to marry you now.”
Qiao Liang was surprised that his mom took sides with Tang Xi. Tang Xi kept nodding. “Exactly. You haven’t shown me any sincerity. How can I agree to marry you?” Then she turned to Qiao Yuxin andined, “Aunt, do you know? He just said my ring finger needs a decoration, so he would give me a decoration! How can a man propose like that?!”
Qiao Yuxin widened her eyes in astonishment. “He didn’t even get on his knees?”
Tang Xi curled her lips and shook her head. Qiao Yuxin looked at Qiao Liang with disdain as she said, “Even your shameless father got on his knees to me when he proposed to me. You didn’t even get on your knees? And you didn’t even prepare a ring?”
Qiao Liang surrendered and kept quiet. His mom evenpared him with Lu Guangxiong who she had refused to mention in the past five years.
Seeing Qiao Yuxin win, Tang Xi sitting beside Qiao Yuxin gave Qiao Liang acent nce as if saying, “Look, like I said, the way your proposed to me was toome. Even your mother can’t stand it! Hum!”
Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi, and suddenly dragged her to his side. Tang Xi was caught off guard and almost fell into his arms. Qiao Yuxin chuckled when she saw this. Tang Xi was not used to be so intimate with Qiao Liang in front of Qiao Yuxin, so she cast an angry look at Qiao Liang and tried to sit up, but he didn’t let her. He put his arm around her waist, put his forehead against hers, and asked hoarsely, “Are you satisfied?”
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang nkly and didn’t know how to answer him. She just gazed at him silently...
