Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Novel

Qiao Liang didn’t approve of Tang Xi going there, but he couldn’t expose the fact that he was her boyfriend now, so he merely said, “He Wanyi seems to be drunk. It’s not convenient for us to go to another club.”

“Have someone send He Wanyi home. I must go to Charming Night today. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.” Ning Yan said, took his coat and stood up. “Or I can go alone.”

Something suddenly occurred to Tang Xi. She lunged to her feet and asked Ning Yan loudly, “Is Wang Bo in Charming Night right now?”

Ning Yan gave her an admiring look. “Smart girl!”

Tang Xi blinked and said, “Great, let’s go there then. How dare that guy set us up?! We mustn’t let him off! We must teach him a good lesson.”

Tang Xi felt as if there was an animal roaring in her heart.

Looking at the agitated Tang Xi, Qiao Liang was speechless. Now he could only accompany her despite the risk of Xiao Yan finding out his relationship with her.

“Let’s eat the cake before we go.” Someone said. Tang Xi looked at the source of the voice only to find it was Xiao Sa who was staring at the delicious birthday cake on the table. The corner of her eyes twitched. “Just take it with us. We can have the cake over there! Hurry up! What if Wang Bo runs away?”

Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi who seemed to be more excited than him, and raised his eyebrows. “Why do you look even more agitated than me?” Then without giving Tang Xi a chance to speak, he continued, “You can only have one birthday a year. Let’s eat the cake first. Your birthday will be gone after midnight.”

Tang Xi didn’t take her birthday very seriously, but since it was Xiao Rou’s birthday today…

Xiao Sa pushed candles into the cake and Xiao Yan lit them. The others also gathered around and they sang Happy Birthday to Tang Xi and the latter closed her eyes and made a wish:

I hope the real Xiao Rou can go to a very good place and grow up with love in her next life.

Tang Xi opened her eyes and blew out the candles. The others shouted, “Happy Birthday” to her at the same time, took away the candles and began to slice the cake. This cake was huge and there were only about a dozen people here, so when they left, the cake hadn’t been finished and the room was in a complete mess.

Tang Xi got into Qiao Liang’s car. Seeing this, Xiao Yan was a bit worried about her and was about to ask her to take his car. Ning Yan stopped him. “President Xiao, can I select two actors from your Shengda Entertainment for my new movie?”

Xiao Yan looked at him in surprise, “Huh?”

“Your sister will be the leading actress in the movie. You will help your sister, won’t you?” Ning Yan gave a sly smile.

This movie had two female leads, so it wouldn’t do well at the box office unless it had a super strong cast. But if this movie was full of A-listers, it would surely attract great attention and its box wouldn’t be bad!

That was for sure!

“Director Ning, do you want our actors to act in this movie for free?” Xiao Yan chuckled. “Nice try.”

“No, I’ll pay them.” Ning Yan grinned. “But won’t the largest winner be your family? This movie has been specially made for your sister. What do you think?”

Xiao Yan took a deep look at Ning Yan. He had to admit that he was almost persuaded by Ning Yan. If he refused, Ning Yan would probably accuse him of not caring for his sister.

“Let me see the script first.” Xiao Yan looked at Ning Yan. “You know, our company…”

“I know, I know. Your company’s actors and actresses are all A-listers.” Ning Yan laughed. He knew he had succeeded the moment that Xiao Yan had asked to read the script!

As soon as Tang Xi got into the car, she glared at Qiao Liang. Seeing this, Qiao Liang held her chin and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “How dare you glare at me?”

“Don’t you know it’s your girlfriend’s birthday today? And you didn’t even prepare her a birthday present?” Tang Xi raised her chin, patted Qiao Liang’s hand away and asked Little Five who was driving the car. “Little Five, will you prepare your girlfriend a surprise on her birthday? Will you prepare her a birthday cake? A birthday present?”

Little Five smiled. “Sure!”

Tang Xi turned her eyes to Qiao Liang and glared at him hard again. Then she folded her arms and looked at the view out of the window, ignoring Qiao Liang.

Seeing her look, Qiao Liang laughed helplessly but didn’t apologize to her. He just looked quietly at Tang Xi.

Seeing from the glass that Qiao Liang was looking at herself, Tang Xi narrowed her eyes. So this guy is not going to apologize to her?

Damn it!

She wouldn’t speak to him tonight!

Her maternal grandfather gave her a warm jade and her paternal grandfather gave her a jade pillow. She could almost open a museum with the presents she had received tonight, but Qiao Liang, her boyfriend, gave her not one single present!

That was so outrageous!

Both of them kept silent, and Tang Xi suddenly leaned against the seat and closed her eyes for rest. She didn’t want to see him anymore!

Qiao Liang looked at her and smiled. “Are you still angry?”

“Yes! Don’t talk to me!” Tang Xi said coldly.

“Xixi.” Qiao Liang suddenly called to her.

Tang Xi chuckled to herself. Is this guy going to give her a present?

She opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Liang. “What’s up?”

“What do you think is the best present in the world?” Tang Xi didn’t know what Qiao Liang meant, so she just kept silent.

Qiao Liang took out a little box and opened it. Then he looked at Tang Xi and lowered his voice. “May I help you put it on?”

Tang Xi looked at the diamond ring in the box and the corner of her eyes twitched. “Do you think I’m stupid? If I accept it, isn’t it like I am giving you a present instead? No, no way!”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. Why has this girl suddenly become so smart today? He put away the ring. “Look, the best present I can think of is myself. Once you put on this ring, I’m yours and no one can take me away from you, but you just refused my best present.”

Tang Xi narrowed her eyes. “You did this on purpose!”
