Chapter 45: The Two Brothers Who Competed for Her Favor
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi innocently retracted her head, blinked cutely and looked at Xiao Jing as she said, “Jing, I didn’t know your driving skills were so poor…”
Xiao Jing was angry. “Are you looking for a fight?!” How dare she say he couldn’t drive! This was an insult to him!
“Jing, I was wrong,” Tang Xi immediately apologized. “I shouldn’t have said your driving skills are poor. I shouldn’t distract you when you’re driving, and I shouldn’t put our lives at risk. I was wrong, I…”
“Okay, okay…” Xiao Jing had already figured out her trick long ago. To stop her from continuing to talk, he hurriedly interrupted her, “Just tell me, what you want me to do?”
Tang Xi chuckled and said fawningly, “Jing, I need a cell phone. Could you buy one for me?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t need a cell phone?” Xiao Jing started the engine to drive on. Despite his words, however, he was already looking for electronic shopping malls nearby.
Tang Xi pursed her lips. “I find it more convenient to have a cell phone. With it, you can contact me, and I can also contact you. Then Mom and Dad won’t worry about me.”
More importantly, if she didn’t have a cell phone, she couldn’t get on the Internet. If she couldn’t get on the internet, she wouldn’t be able to get the latest news of many things, and she had just heard that…
In any case, since she said she would take everything Xiao Jinning had away from her, she really meant it!
“By the way, I have a party later, and you can go with me.” Spotting an electronic shopping mall, Xiao Jing turned the car around, drove towards it as he said to Tang Xi, “It’ll be good for you to make some friends.”

Feeling nervous, Tang Xi asked, “Who will be there?”
Xiao Jing looked back at Tang Xi. Noticing Tang Xi’s strange nervousness, he became furious. “Sh*t! Qiao Liang will not be there! He’ll fly to City A tonight and look for the one he loves!”
Hearing this, Tang Xi’s eyes turned red and she couldn’t help muttering, “But he can never find her.”
When the plane had exploded, she clearly felt her body falling apart, and when the pain came to her, she knew she was dead and there wouldn’t be enough left of her to bury.
And it had been so long since the air crash. Her body might have been eaten by sharks. How could he find her?
Tang Xi suddenly felt heartache when she thought about this. However, she felt it would be fine, because Grandpa and that man would feel better if they didn’t see her body with their own eyes…
“Xiao Rourou, what are you thinking about?!” Xiao Jing parked his car in the underground parking lot only to find his sister was crying, probably for Qiao Liang. “I’m warning you to give up that thought in your mind as soon as possible! Understand?”
Realizing that she had become lost in her thoughts again, Tang Xi quickly wiped away her tears and retorted, “I just had a mosquito in my eye! Besides, I know it’s impossible for Prince Charming Qiao to fall in love with me, so my dear Jing, do not remind me of it again and again. Otherwise I will feel inferior!”
“Humph!” Xiao Jing sneered. “If you can feel inferior, I’ll eat my hat!”
Tang Xi’s heavy heart suddenly lightened. She opened the car door and got out, laughing out loud as she said, “Jing, you really know me well. How could a person as excellent as me feel inferior, right?”
Xiao Jing was completely speechless. “Rourou, can you keep a low profile?”

Xiao Rou nodded with a smile, then opened the door, took out a cap and mask from inside and put them on. She affectionately held Xiao Jing’s arm and said sweetly, “Brother, let’s buy a cell phone. Brother, you’re the best man in the world. I love you so much~”
Xiao Jing got goosebumps. He stared at his sister like he was staring at a monster. “Can you be normal?”
“I am your sister,” Tang Xi said with a chuckle, then continued, “so no one will pay attention to us if we go buy a cell phone. Brother, didn’t you say you wanted me to keep low-key?”
“I mean the normal low-profile. Can you just speak normally?”
Tang Xi shrugged and replied, “Yes, sir!”
The two frolicked all the way to the shopping mall. Xiao Jing doted on Tang Xi and she enjoyed the kinship greatly. She had never experienced it before, so she felt her current life was very special.
They went to a Motorola store. Tang Xi wanted to go in, but Xiao Jing thought girls today preferred iPhones and so asked her to go to an Apple store. However, Tang Xi refused. “I’d better use a civilian one since it’s my first cell phone.”
The corners of Xiao Jing’s eyes twitched. “My dear sister, are you sure a Motorola cell phone is ‘civilian’?”
“At least more civilian than iPhone.” She didn’t choose to get an iPhone because she didn’t like the IOS system.
Unable to persuade Tang Xi, Xiao Jing could only follow her into the Motorola store. He didn’t mind what brand to use. His cell phones were all gifted by Qiao Liang. He didn’t study the brands and just checked them on the internet but found no result, so he didn’t pay attention to it anymore. He was still using the cell phones.
After quite a while, Tang Xi finally chose a phone that was launched recently. It wasn’t very expensive and only cost less than 4,000 yuan. Tang Xi took it casually in her hand, tried it out and decided to have this one.
Xiao Jing paid the money and helped Tang Xi get a SIM card, while Tang Xi was leisurely sitting in the rest area, shaking her leg like a big boss. When Xiao Jing turned around and saw her act like this, he suddenly wondered whether he was a masochist. Why was it always like this—he was on the run like a coolie while she stayed aside leisurely like a boss?!
At that moment, Xiao Jing’s phone rang, and it was from Xiao Sa. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and picked it up. “What’s up?”
“Are you at the party?”
“Not yet. I’m buying a cell phone for Rourou. I’m going to take her to the party tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sa immediately got furious on the other side of the line. Xiao Jing was so satisfied. It was simply a pleasure to serve his sister like a slave.
Xiao Sa roared on the phone, “Sh*t, Xiao Jing, you are cheating! We tried to persuade Rourou to get a cell phone all these days, but she just didn’t want one. But now you’re buying one for her in an electronic shopping mall?!”
Xiao Jing, beaming with pride, decided not to tell him that Rourou had asked for a cell phone. “What? Jealous? Let me tell you, the first number Rourou saved on her phone is mine, and I even chose a phone number for her. Are you jealous? Do you envy me?”
Hearing their conversation, the shop assistant secretly looked at Rourou who was sitting there as if nothing was happening, and thought that this girl was really lucky to be deeply loved by her brothers.
While Xiao Jing was enjoying his victory, Xiao Sa suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Haha, I’ve got Rourou’s phone number, and she has added me as a friend on WeChat!”
