When the shuttle bus reached the gate, Qiao Liang opened the door of their car and sat in the driver’s seat, and Chu Ling sat in the back seat and signaled Tang Xi to take the passenger seat. Seeing this, Qiao Liang gave Chu Ling a thumbs-up in his heart but Tang Xi shook her head and said, “Chu Ling, can you sit in the passenger seat? I’m tired and I want to take a nap on the back seat.”

Qiao Liang’s face immediately froze and the temperature in the car seemed to decline by several degrees. Chu Ling blinked and looked at Tang Xi as he said, “You can take a nap sitting in front. Qiao Liang is very good at driving and the car won’t bump about. You can…”

Tang Xi took a look at Little Six who had caught up with them, and coldly said, “Little Six, can you take this car? Give me your car.”

“Little Six, you don’t need to follow us today. Go back to the branch office!” Qiao Liang suddenly opened the car door and said to Little Six coldly.

Little Six was speechless. “… Yes, Young Master.” He silently got into his car and headed for the branch office. Young master, I know you are in a bad mood, but why do you take it out on me? God, that’s unfair!

Tang Xi’s eyes had a gleam of chagrin. She stared at Qiao Liang, who glanced at her and had gotten into the car and yelled at Chu Ling, “Sit in the passenger seat!”

Now it was Chu Ling’s turn to be speechless. “… Why did you yell at me? Alright, I’ll sit in the passenger seat!” He jumped out of the car, sat in the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt.

Tang Xi remained silent. “…”

Two minutes later, Tang Xi opened the car door and got into the car.

Chu Ling couldn’t bear the suffocating atmosphere in the car. He pursed his lips, took a look at Tang Xi from the rear-view mirror who closed her eyes and seemed to be taking a nap, and then at Qiao Liang who looked back from time to time but didn’t speak. Chu Ling blinked and asked, “Did you have a fight?”

Qiao Liang snorted and kept driving.

Chu Ling almost burst into laughter, “…” He looked back at Tang Xi, and gave her a fawning smile. “Rourou, did he offend you? Tell me what he did to you. I can hit him for you. Let’s help him realize his mistake! Now tell me, what happened?”

Tang Xi pretended to be sleeping and refused to answer.

Chu Ling felt that he was ignored. “…”

He quickly took out his cell phone, initiated a chat group and added two users into the group. He then turned his cell phone onto mute mode, and raised a question in the chat group.

Robin Chuood: “Do you know what happened between Qiao Liang and Tang Xi? The two don’t look right!”

Lu Li: Qiao Liang threw several people to the interrogation room of our Paris branch office last night. I investigated their identities, and one of them is Kloss Lov, the notorious hooligan in Paris. Is it because of him?

Robin Chuood: Did our little beauty Rourou cheat on Qiao Liang?

Lu Li: …

Handsome Mr. Nine: You guys should ask me. I know everything that happened between the two of them!

Lu Li: What happened?

Robin Chuood: Yes, tell us!

Handsome Mr. Nine: Beg me. I will tell you if you beg me!

Lu Li: Forget it.

Robin Chuood: In your dreams!

Handsome Mr. Nine: You guys are boring! [Video]

Chu Ling hurriedly put on his blue-tooth headset, and clicked the video. After watching the video, Chu Ling gave Tang Xi an admiring look. This girl is awesome! She scolded Qiao Liang and wasn’t afraid of him at all! That’s impressive!

Lu Li: Why did they have a fight? Letter of apology?

Handsome Mr. Nine: If I guess right, it must be because Qiao Liang is a pervert and Miss Xiao can’t satisfy him in some affairs, so he forced Miss Xiao to write him a letter of apology. That’s unacceptable to Miss Xiao, so she wanted to break up with him!

Handsome Mr. Nine: [Handsome emoji] Come on, call me Sherlock Holmes!

Lu Li: …

Robin Chuood: Why are you so shameless??

Handsome Mr. Nine: Don’t you agree with my analysis? Why does Xiao Rou want to break up with him if he is not a pervert? I think Qiao Liang should reflect on his own mistake!

Qiao Liang who was driving suddenly heard his cell phone ring. He took a look at the screen and found Chu Ling added him into a chat group. Just then, someone in the chat group sent a message. Handsome Mr. Nine: Qiao Liang is really shameless. What on earth did he do to make a sweet girl so mad at him? He deserves to die alone!

Qiao Liang held the steering wheel with his right hand, and checked the chat record with the other hand. After reading the chat record, he gave a faint smile and sent a message…

Young Master: How about you? Do you have many girlfriends?

Lin Yuan who was sitting in his office in Country M and appreciating a beauty suddenly felt a chill on his spine. He raised his hand to signal the beauty who was pouring coffee for him to stop and said with a smile, “Jessica, my honey, would you go out for a minute? I have something to tend to.”

Jessica smiled at Lin Yuan and turned to leave the office. Lin Yuan clenched the phone and stared at the screen. Another message popped up as he blinked…

Young Master: So you have nothing to do?

Lin Yuan hastened to quit the chat group, turned off his cell phone and shouted towards outside, “Jason, Jason, arrange the schedule for me. I’m going to the Middle East!”

Jason ran in, looked at Lin Yuan and helplessly shrugged, asking, “Mr. Nine, didn’t you say you were going to Paris to meet you savior? I’ve booked a ticket to Paris tomorrow for you. So you are not going?”

Jason exclaimed crazily in his heart, ‘Why do I have such a capricious boss? He is too hard to serve!’

“No!” Lin Yuan growled at Jason, “For my life’s sake, I have to go to the Middle East! By the way, check our airplane before departure. check it very carefully!”

The other three members saw Handsome Mr. Nine had quit the chat group…

Lu Li: …

Robin Chuood: …

Young Master: …

Lu Li: What did you do to him to make him so scared of you?”

Robin Chuood: When did Nine become a coward?Why did he escape as soon as Qiao Liang showed up? I’m not so scared as him although I’m sitting beside Qiao Liang. Why is he so scared of Qiao Liang?

Young Master: He is a coward indeed.

Little Nine: … So what happened between you and Xiao Rou? Can you explain what we saw in the video that Nine just sent? Did you really have a fight?

Chu Ling looked sideways at Qiao Liang, who glanced at him and sent a message.

Young Master: I’m driving. Talk to you later.

Qiao Liang looked back at Tang Xi who pretended to be sleeping but had fallen asleep now. He pursed his lips and drove the car as stably as possible.

Chu Ling took a look at Qiao Liang, pursed his lips and lowered his voice, saying, “Sometimes, love is not bondage.”
