Chapter 416: He Can Decide for Me
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Seeing Tang Xi’s response, Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Xi dangerously. Tang Xi would certainly give him no chance to speak, so she said to him in a low voice, “I’ll go finish the shoot. I’m afraid I can’t leave if He Wanzhou comes.”
Qiao Liang was speechless and could only watch Tang Xi walk towards He Wanyi. Compared with He Wanyi, he hated Tang Xi chatting with He Wanzhou more! At least the former just told her that Xiao Yao loved her, whereas He Wanzhou wanted to chase Tang Xi!
Tang Xi came back and apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry. It was Miss Xiao calling and I had to answer her call.”
He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi in surprise and frowned. What she saw was Miss Tang talking with her bodyguard instead of “answering a call”.
Ning Yan didn’t say anything but just nodded and urged them to continue the photoshoot. After taking several more photos, Ning Yan said, “My queens, please stand up, stand in front of the chair and look at each other.”
Then his eyes suddenly lit up as if something occurred to him. He asked Qiao Liang, “Hey, Mr. Bodyguard, are you interested in being our model?”
Qiao Liang gave a cold glance at Ning Yan and answered with a straight face, “Not interested.”
Tang Xi almost burst into peals of laughter. “…” Oh, she couldn’t laugh! Hold back the laughter!
He Wanyi laughed. “…I’m afraid you are mistaking him for someone else.”
Ning Yan looked at Qiao Liang in embarrassment and said awkwardly, “Well, yes, I think that might be so.”
Qiao Liang, “…”
Tang Xi explained for him, “My bodyguard doesn’t like taking photos. Even journalists can’t take photos of him, let alone others.”

Ning Yan took a look at Qiao Liang and said, “Then I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bother him but your bodyguard really reminds me of Qiao Liang.”
Tang Xi smirked. “…Haha.”
Qiao Liang, “…”
He Wanyi frowned and asked Ning Yan, “Ning Yan, will you shoot the photos or not?”
She had wanted to ask Tang Xi about Xiao Yao, but it seemed that she didn’t have the chance to do that now.
Tang Xi suddenly remembered that every time she and Qiao Liang, who was disguised as her bodyguard, appeared in the same photo, only his back or side profile would appear in the photo. He would never show his full face… It seems that he is really good at dodging cameras!
Ning Yan noticed He Wanyi was a bit angry, so he shrugged and nodded, saying, “Sure, but I want to wait for your brother to come. What I want to present is that two queens are competing for a man and…”
“That’s not a good idea.” Qiao Liang walked up to Ning Yan with a straight face and stopped in front of Tang Xi, saying coldly, “You’re shooting a promotion clip for a brand, not for a movie.”
Tang Xi also thought it was unnecessary. This was the promotion clip for a costume company, so a plot like this would be a bit weird. He Wanyi also scowled when she heard Ning Yan’s idea. Was he laughing at her? Was he implying that she didn’t deserve to compete with Miss Tang for Xiao Yao?
Ning Yan didn’t pay attention to He Wanyi but just looked at Qiao Liang. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Mr. Bodyguard, are you really just Tang Xi’s bodyguard? Can you decide for her?”
Qiao Liang paused and was about to speak, when Tang Xi suddenly smiled and came over to take Qiao Liang’s arm. She looked at Ning Yan, saying, “Yes, he can decide for me, because I’m his.”

He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi in astonishment and her face stiffened. Ning Yan also raised his eyebrows and Qiao Liang gaped at Tang Xi. Did she know what she just said?
Tang Xi looked at Ning Yan and said, “Director Ning is a director, so I think you must have heard of the stories between my bodyguard and me. The news stories are true. I’m in love with him and he is my boyfriend. I’m going to marry him and this journey to Paris is our warm-up honeymoon.”
Tang Xi said and held Qiao Liang’s hand more tightly. She knew her words would shock them, but this was the perfect chance to disown Tang Xi who had been dead and Qiao Liang. She couldn’t let Xiao Rou be affected by the relationship between Tang Xi and Qiao Liang and… Tang Xi looked at He Wanzhou who was staring at her blankly from a distance and she secretly smiled. Qiao Liang must be happy that she had just nipped his love rivals in the bud.
Qiao Liang also saw He Wanzhou. He looked at Tang Xi affectionately and smiled. “You don’t have to say it out loud.”
Tang Xi smiled. “I no longer want you to feel wronged. Besides, we’re together. Why can’t I speak of it?”
“You don’t like Qiao Liang anymore?” Ning Yan frowned at Tang Xi. He had a feeling that Qiao Liang evaded Tang Xi because he still loved her. He just didn’t dare to tell her about his feelings. Otherwise, why did he constantly evade her?
There would be only one reason… he still loved her a lot!
Tang Xi didn’t know why Ning Yan asked her this question, but she still pursed her lips and answered, “We broke up five years ago. Now Qiao Liang has Miss Xiao and I think the two of them make a perfect match, and myself and…” God, what was her bodyguard’s name?!! They forgot to make a name for this “bodyguard”! Tang Xi rolled her eyes, looked up at Qiao Liang and said affectionately, “I feel comfortable when I’m with him, and I have a feeling that he is the one that I have been waiting for. Since Qiao Liang and I have found our respective other halves, why don’t we just forget about each other?”
“You’re really broad-hearted, Miss Tang. That’s good for you.” Ning Yan put away the camera. “Today’s shooting is very successful. It’s still early and we have another ten-minute promotion clip to shoot. I’ve read the script. It won’t take much time if it goes well. Let’s shoot this clip now?”
Tang Xi had no problem with the proposal. She wanted to finish the job as soon as possible. Then she didn’t have to stay any longer with these people as Tang Xi. These people were all very smart. If they found out the truth, that would be a big problem for her.
He Wanzhou, who was still in shock, came over to them in disbelief. He looked sadly at Tang Xi and pointed at Qiao Liang, asking, “Xixi, are you sure that your grandfather will approve of your marriage to a bodyguard?”
No wonder this bodyguard seemed to be hostile to him yesterday. It turned out that he was Tang Xi’s boyfriend!
He could admit failure to Qiao Liang who at least deserved to compete with him for Tang Xi. But who the hell was this guy?! He was just a bodyguard! How could he say he could decide for Tang Xi?!
Sh*t, what the heck is this?!
