370: Chapter 370: The Beauty Panics!
A beauty by my side!
A faint fragrance wafting!
But…
I’m still driving!
Wu Jie took a reluctant two more glances before speeding home.
Fortunately, Tang Xiao’s apartment and Tianyuan Haoting are both near the city center, not far apart.
After parking the car, Tang Xiao was already fast asleep.
Once again I had to carry her upstairs, only tonight was a bit strange.
With one arm around her waist and the other under her knees, Tang Xiao actually tilted her head and nestled against Wu Jie’s shoulder like a child.
Sigh!
Even the strongest of women sometimes need a solid shoulder to lean on!
Gently closing the car door with a kick, Wu Jie slowed his pace, trying not to wake Tang Xiao.
However, the slower I walked, the more it tested my strength, causing a sore back and an achy waist.
Finally back in the room, I bit back a groan as I gently set her down.
I took a long breath and covered her with the blanket.
Just as I was about to take off my shoes, Tang Xiao suddenly woke up.
She snapped her eyes open, startling me.
Tang Xiao’s gaze was sharp and ferocious, like encountering a surprise attack on the battlefield.
But seeing it was me, her expression softened, and then without a word, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
“Damn it!
Scared the hell out of me!”
I continued to cover her with the blanket.
Standing straight, my waist was both sore and swollen.
Carrying her all the way from the underground garage to the bed, staying in one position for a long time, it’s easy to cause muscle strain.
After massaging my waist, I looked at the beautiful and angelic Tang Xiao and felt a sense of indignation stirring inside me.
“Damn it!
Even delivery of takeout has a delivery fee.
A kiss from me as a handling fee should be alright, huh?”
I muttered to myself.
I waited a while, guessing that Tang Xiao had fallen asleep again.
Just as I was leaning in, Tang Xiao happened to turn over, scaring me backward.
I tiptoed away and quietly closed the door behind me.
The door lock inevitably made a slight click as it latched.
Lying in bed, Tang Xiao instantly opened her eyes again.
She…
hadn’t actually been asleep just now.
After being startled awake, it’s not so easy to fall back to sleep quickly, is it?
Moreover, as a former Special Forces King, she had undergone strict training; her vigilance was naturally higher than that of an average person.
With a big rascal like Wu Jie standing nearby, Tang Xiao was even less likely to sleep soundly.
However…
She had thought that Wu Jie might make a move, but Wu Jie really had some nerve!
For a moment, there was a hint of anger.
But she didn’t reflexively throw a Heavy Punch or deliver a fierce kick.
Instead, she shyly dodged to the side as if by instinct.
Hearing the sound of the door locking, Tang Xiao finally snapped back to reality.
“What’s…
what’s wrong with me?
Was I hexed by him?
Why didn’t I explode in rage?”
“What’s with my heartbeat?
Thumping excitedly…
that can’t be right!”
“I was almost assaulted by this stinky rascal, and not only am I not furious, but I’m excited for what?”
“What is going on?”
Tang Xiao was a bit confused.
She just couldn’t understand why she didn’t get angry.
Could it be that her subconscious mind already classified Wu Jie as a ‘harmless individual’?
Turning over, Tang Xiao’s thoughts were in turmoil.
She suddenly felt a sense of unease.
“Impossible!
How could I possibly fall for this kind of scoundrel?”
“He looks honest but is full of schemes!
He must have tricked countless people!”
“Not beating him half to death is already me being polite!
How could I possibly like him?
Humph!”
Tang Xiao turned over again, dispelling her wandering thoughts and continued to sleep.
However…
Although my body was very tired, I just couldn’t fall asleep in the daze.
When I finally dozed off, I ended up dreaming.
The scene in the dream was too real.
It was as if I had traveled back to the day in the hospital’s fire escape staircase in Liuli City when I was ambushed.
Suddenly!
I abruptly woke from the dream and sat up sharply.
However…
I reached out to feel beside me, no one was there.
I turned on the bedside lamp, and I was alone in the master bedroom.
Wu Jie was not there.
Whew!
I let out a long sigh, slowly leaned back, seated against the headboard, and wiped the sweat from my brow.
“Weird!
Why did I have that dream again!”
“And this time…
it actually felt so sweet!”
“This is…
This is just too shameless of me!
Shameless!!”
Tang Xiao gritted her teeth, shook her head, raised her hand, and fiercely rubbed her face to make herself a little more alert.
But my mind was still in chaos, involuntarily recalling the scene from the dream.
Take a shower!
Tang Xiao threw off the covers, got out of bed barefoot, and walked into the bathroom to enjoy a comforting hot shower.
After changing into pajamas and returning to bed, to avoid my mind slipping back into confusion, I simply took out my phone.
I checked out entertainment gossips, current news, and the like.
With Wang Taixiong’s arrest, a serious chain reaction had already been triggered.
It wasn’t just the film and entertainment industry that was affected, but finance, mining, the internet, and many other sectors as well.
After all, over the years, too many people had business dealings with him.
When Dou Cheng was arrested, he confessed to reduce his sentence and ended up bringing down only Meng Changxin.
Now, even without Wang Taixiong’s confession, countless people have already been implicated.
If he actually decides to confess for leniency, the prisons will definitely need to make room for a lot of new inmates!
So it’s not hard to imagine, tonight there will definitely be many people who can’t sleep, many will curse Wang Taixiong, and along with him, Wu Jie, for causing his downfall, will also be despised.
Wu Jie…
There’s that damned ruffian again!
Tang Xiao decisively stopped reading about it, to avoid thinking of that jerk again.
This guy truly seems uncomfortable if he doesn’t stir up trouble for a single day.
Isn’t he afraid of attracting too much hatred and getting backstabbed in secret?
If something happens to Wang Taixiong, Tianyuan would definitely be in for a major shakeup!
Tang Xiao sighed to herself, knowing that anything she said now would be too late.
Wang Taixiong was already in custody, and Wu Jie, that troublemaker, was certainly hated by many.
The only thing to do now was to wait and see what kind of changes would occur, to respond to any changes with an unchanging stance.
After all, with the golden signboard of Tianyuan and the Tang Family, even if Wu Jie is hated by countless people, he won’t be in danger to his life in Tianyuan.
Latter on.
Tang Xiao intended to check the tender documents for the SAM project in East Africa but the group chat became lively.
Tang Xin sent a row of crying emojis.
Immediately following, she tagged Tang Xiao.
“Sis!
Why didn’t you come and support me tonight!
I was trounced!”
Bai Fengling: “Xin’er, don’t cry.
Next time you’ll definitely turn the tables!”
Lin Yuan: “You guys are playing too big.
We only bet five yuan, so the loss isn’t much!”
Tang Kun sent a voice message, laughing loudly: “A flurry of action, fierce like a tiger, only to lose two hundred and fifty in an instant.
Congratulations to Sister Xin, for acquiring the title of ‘Fouled by a Single Tile King’!”
Tang Xin: “Fouled by a Single Tile King my ass!
You three ganging up on one, can’t you at least send some red packets to console your little sister?”
Zhang Hao: “Sister Xin, don’t cry.
Didn’t I also lose badly?”
Tang Xin: “You piss off!
You guys were betting five yuan at your table, we were betting five hundred at ours, can that even compare?”
“Where are Jie and the older sis?
Why aren’t they coming out to comfort someone?”
