Chapter 446: Farewell to Xia Wei’er

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Farewell to Xia Wei’er

"It makes sense. If the Yang Family gets to Tang Ming first and kills him, they will definitely swallow up Minghuang Group and Liu Group, and the Zhou Family and Ma Family probably won’t even get a chance to make a move,"

Qin Haitian nodded repeatedly, echoing the sentiment.

"That’s why we must act fast," Qin Aotian looked into the distance, speaking urgently,

"First, we must immediately contact our master’s sect and have them send someone as soon as possible. If we manage to kill Tang Ming before Jin Gang arrives, we can be the first to divide the profits. Second, since Shi Tou said Tang Ming is seriously injured, it must be true. You all need to send someone immediately to investigate Tang Ming’s condition. If he is truly seriously injured, we can take matters into our own hands. As long as we get rid of Tang Ming, by the time Jin Gang arrives, we will already have secured the key advantage. Given our relationship with the Yang Family, they shouldn’t try to snatch our profits."

"Alright, I’ll arrange for someone immediately," Qin Haitian agreed decisively with a nod.

"Big brother, before we have a clear understanding of Tang Ming’s situation, your people must not act rashly. If something goes wrong... we’ll be the ones to suffer again."

Qin Haitao quickly and cautiously reminded him.

"I got it!"

Qin Haitian nodded repeatedly. He too feared that Tang Ming might come back to trouble the Qin Family.

After leaving Binjiang District, Tang Ming drove to the snack street. Since he was leaving, he wanted to say farewell to his friends to show those with ulterior motives that he was unharmed, to avoid leaving troubles for the Liu Family.

As long as no one discovered that he had lost his cultivation, even if he left Songlan City, he could still deter those with dishonest intentions.

Seeing Tang Ming specially come to see her made Xia Wei’er very happy. It was the first time Tang Ming had come specifically for her.

As she stood at the door waiting for Tang Ming, Xia Wei’er, her face flushed, thought while packing up:

"It seems my decision to confess to him was right after all. It has improved our relationship somewhat. But... we can’t rush things, we should wait until we are in college to officially start dating."

"Xia Wei’er, are you ready?" Tang Ming called out with a smile, his time was urgent, he needed to settle everything as quickly as possible, otherwise, every extra minute he stayed was a minute more of exposure to danger.

"All ready!" After dressing neatly, Xia Wei’er came out with a joyful bounce.

The two chose a BBQ buffet. It was Xia Wei’er’s idea; knowing Tang Ming’s appetite, she had specifically chosen this place.

"Actually, I’ve already eaten," Tang Ming said with a complicated look on his face, watching Xia Wei’er busily preparing food for him.

"Don’t I know your appetite? Even if you ate all day, you could still fit more in,"

Xia Wei’er glanced at Tang Ming and warmly started serving him dishes.

"Alright then!" Tang Ming reluctantly picked up his chopsticks and symbolically ate a few bites. Observing Xia Wei’er still busy, he seriously said, "Stop busying yourself, I have something serious to talk to you about this time."

"Ah!"

Xia Wei’er was momentarily startled, hurriedly putting down the spatula, her little face blushing as she nervously thought:

"Is he, is he no longer willing to wait and wants to ask me to be his girlfriend now? What should I do? If I reject him, will he get upset? But we really need to prioritize our studies now; we can’t be in a relationship!"

"This is a recipe for making diet popsicles," just as Xia Wei’er’s thoughts were racing, Tang Ming handed her an A4 paper.

"Why give me this?" Xia Wei’er was puzzled for a moment, taking the A4 paper and wondering:

"I already confessed to him, how could he still give me the formula before discussing matters? Could he be trying to lure me?"

"I’m leaving, I won’t be able to personally make popsicles for you all anymore, so I’m giving you the formula. From now on, you can produce the weight-loss popsicles yourselves!" Tang Ming explained with a smile.

"You’re leaving?" Xia Wei’er’s expression stiffened, and she stared at Tang Ming for a minute before saying unnaturally:

"Stop joking, the college entrance exams aren’t even over yet. Where are you going? Besides, you are Liu Mengting’s bodyguard, how could you leave just like that?"

"I’m not joking." Tang Ming said seriously:

"You just said I’m Liu Mengting’s bodyguard. I only went to school to protect her conveniently, but now I have terminated the contract with Liu Mengting. I’m no longer her bodyguard, so I will soon leave Songlan City."

"You, you’re really leaving!" Xia Wei’er’s face began to turn pale and she asked with a trembling voice:

"Will you come back after you leave?"

"That..., I can’t say for sure." Tang Ming shook his head sadly. He didn’t know if he would be able to restore his cultivation when he returned this time.

If his cultivation was not restored, he definitely wouldn’t come back. But if he had to start from scratch, by the time he recovered his cultivation he would be in his forties or fifties, and coming back would only be for the sake of reminiscing memories.

"What do you mean by ’can’t say’?"

Xia Wei’er became agitated, "What will I do when you leave?"

"What’s wrong with you?" Tang Ming looked at Xia Wei’er with confusion.

"I’ve given you the formula, and your family now has a new store and a new house. You all will have a better life."

"I’m not talking about that. I mean, what about us?" Xia Wei’er clenched her teeth and mustered the courage to say:

"Didn’t we agree that once I started college, I would be your girlfriend? Now you’re leaving, what about our promise?"

"Are you serious?" Tang Ming was slightly startled. He had thought that Xia Wei’er was only grateful, and didn’t realize she was so serious.

"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" Xia Wei’er’s eyes began to redden as she bit her lip and asked:

"Can you stay? Not for Liu Mengting, but for me, can you? Or when will you come back? I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

Looking at the pitiful Xia Wei’er, Tang Ming felt a sudden turmoil within. He hadn’t taken Xia Wei’er’s confession seriously before, assuming that she was still young and might change her mind by the time she went to college.

But now, seeing Xia Wei’er in this state, Tang Ming realized that she might indeed be serious.

"I’m sorry." Tang Ming looked at Xia Wei’er apologetically, "I thought you were joking before, so I didn’t take it seriously. You shouldn’t take it too seriously either. Don’t wait for me, you will meet someone more suitable in the future, I won’t stay for you."

As he spoke these words, Tang Ming felt a pang of discomfort in his heart, but he didn’t want to delay Xia Wei’er’s youth or make her wait for an uncertain future, so he wanted to completely sever Xia Wei’er’s thoughts about him.

"You, you didn’t take it seriously?" Hearing this, Xia Wei’er was struck by lightning, unable to believe that her proactive confession, shedding her dignity and face, hadn’t been taken seriously by Tang Ming.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t clarify things earlier. If there’s anything that misled you, I apologize to you."

Tang Ming explained earnestly, though with difficulty.
