Tang Hongbo softened his tone and said gently. In fact, he regretted it the moment he came out of Chen Xi's office.

He only hated his incompetence. So what if he did everything in the world? Three years ago, he couldn't even protect the person closest to him. How could he still have the face to face with her?

But all of these were not so good, he would take everything back from Duan Wenyu.

"It's fine, I didn't take it to heart. I know you feel sad. Actually, now that I think about it, it might be a tribulation that I have to experience." Chen Xi softly said.

"No, it's my fault. You shouldn't have suffered so much." Tang Hongbo said.

Chen Xi looked at him with a face full of self-blame and guilt. Actually, what she wanted was not to see him act this way, so she could only change the topic.

"Sigh, there's no meaning in talking about it now. Where are you going?" Chen Xi asked.

Only after Chen Xi mentioned it, did Tang Hongbo remember that he was going out to do some important business.

"Get out." Tang Hongbo said softly.

"No." Chen Xi turned her head, adamant that she would not get off the carriage.

"I'm going out, what are you going to do? "Why are you so reluctant to part with me?" Tang Hongbo joked.

"Then tell me, where are you going?" Chen Xi asked with an inquisitive look.

Tang Hongbo sighed, and said gently.

"Be good, be good, Xi Xi, I'm going out to settle some matters, I'll be back soon."

"I want to go too." Chen Xi had already made up her mind to stick close to him today.

Tang Hongbo was helpless and shook his head. In the end, he could only speak the truth.

"I'm going to see Rong Xuan." Tang Hongbo said with a serious expression.

Hearing that, Chen Xi's face immediately changed, she looked at Tang Hongbo and asked seriously.

"Why did you see him?"

"There are some things that I need to discuss with him." Tang Hongbo said as his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"I want to go too." Chen Xi said hatefully.

"No, what are you going to do?" Tang Hongbo frowned.

"I also have some things I need to talk to him about." Chen Xi snorted.

Tang Hongbo did not say anything else and just started the car and drove forward.

When the car was driven out of the garage, Chen Xi realized that the weather was gloomy. Thinking about going to see Rong Xuan, her mood became gloomier than the weather.

"Did you already know that Rong Xuan and Duan Wenyu had colluded?" Chen Xi seemed to be muttering to herself as she looked out of the window.

Tang Hongbo did not admit nor retort, but Chen Xi knew, he definitely knew. Person

That's why she wanted to see him, right? Thinking about how she would turn against her will and become enemies with Rong Xuan when she sees him later, she felt somewhat sad in her heart.

Even after Chen Xi had experienced so much, even to this day, she still could not understand why the human heart was so complicated.

One second ago, I could have called you brother, but the moment I turned around, I would stab you, and I would have been the one who handed the knife to you.

The human heart cannot be treasured, but it cannot be treasured either. Love is basically the same. Love cannot be loved, but cannot be wished for.

Duan Wenyu was like that, Rong Xuan was the same, even though the truth was right now, he still did not know how to repent. Could it be that in their eyes, other than that illusionary love, there was nothing else they could see?

The gloomy weather was stuffy, Chen Xi reached out to the window and opened it, allowing the cold wind to blow in, causing her heart to feel more comfortable.

"Do you need any medicine?" Tang Hongbo subconsciously asked when he saw Chen Xi's discomfort.

Chen Xi shook her head.

"No, it's okay."

Tang Hongbo saw that from the moment he said that he would go see Rong Xuan, Chen Xi had been feeling a little out of sorts.

He put a hand on the steering wheel and reached for her hand.

"Why is it so cold?" Tang Hongbo frowned.

"I don't know. It might be the root of Tony's illness. My hands and feet get cold in the winter." Chen Xi laughed without care.

Tang Hongbo felt his heart ache, and then pretended to be serious.

"Didn't you call a doctor?"

Why didn't she see it? She didn't know how many doctors she had seen, but for this, she didn't know how many hearts she had wracked her mind with her foster father and Brother Yiran. She had seen many famous doctors, but it was still useless.

After that, she just let it go. It wasn't like she was going to lose her life, it was just that the winter would be colder, and now she was used to it.

"I saw it. It's useless." Chen Xi said as she continued smiling.

Tang Hongbo, on the other hand, silently noted down in his heart. He could imagine just how much suffering she had suffered, and how much fear and hesitation she must have experienced. Every time he thought up to here, he felt that he had no reason to blame her.

Even if she told him now that she wanted the entire Tang clan, he would not hesitate to give it to her.

"Don't worry." Tang Hongbo suddenly said something senseless, which confused him a little.

"What are you worried about?" Chen Xi turned and asked.

"Rong Xuan, also, the root of your cold body's illness." Tang Hongbo's words were concise, but Chen Xi understood.

She smiled gently.

"I'm not worried at all. At most, you'll be my stove in the winter."

The corner of Tang Hongbo's mouth rose.

"That's a good idea, and I'd be happy to help the Lady."

After that, the two of them arrived at the agreed location while chatting and laughing.

"Did you ask him?" Just as he was getting off the car, Chen Xi asked.

"Obviously, do you think he will take the initiative to ask me out?" Tang Hongbo softly replied after parking the car.

"Let's go." Tang Hongbo held her hand and walked towards the café that they had agreed to meet.

The melodious and gentle music drifted out from the cafe, Tang Hongbo held onto Chen Xi's hand, and saw Rong Xuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two of them looked at each other, then walked towards Rong Xuan.

Chen Xi looked around and felt that it was a little strange. It was clearly a good area of the coffee shop, but at this point of time, there was not a single person around, other than Rong Xuan.

In such a big café, only Rong Xuan was left, so he quickly found Tang Hongbo.

When Tang Hongbo pulled Chen Xi closer, he saw Chen Xi and was obviously startled. It was as if he did not expect Chen Xi to come as well.

"Mr. Rong, are you that surprised to see me?" Chen Xi opened her mouth first.

Of course, Rong Xuan had already known about Chen Xi's identity, but seeing that she did not say anything, he followed the flow and did not expose her.

"Yes, I am very surprised. I never thought that Miss Chen would actually come together with you. Since you have come, please take a seat." Rong Xuan asked the two of them to take a seat with a fake smile.

After the three sat down, Tang Hongbo looked around and said slowly.

"Boss Rong was really generous, it was just a small lunch, and Boss Rong actually took over the entire coffee shop. Those who don't know anything, would think that Boss Rong and I are scheming some sort of secret?"

She said why was he the only one in such a big café, Chen Xi thought to herself.

However, Rong Xuan was not angry. Both of his hands were crossed on the table, and he looked casual and relaxed.

"I think it should be a Hongmen feast." Rong Xuan's words were plain yet calm.

Tang Hongbo coldly snorted.

"Is that so? In my opinion, only those with a guilty conscience would think that this is a Hongmen Banquet. " Tang Hongbo said mercilessly.

Rong Xuan leaned on the chair behind him, and said with a relaxed expression.

"Boss Tang, you're not looking for me to treat you to coffee and lunch, right? If you have something to say, hurry up and say it, I'm very busy." Rong Xuan seemed to be a little impatient at the end.

"Boss Rong seems to be getting impatient?" Tang Hongbo said slowly, as if he did it on purpose.

"I feel like, considering my relationship with Boss Tang, I don't seem to be familiar enough to meet for lunch, do I?" Rong Xuan snorted.

Chen Xi sat beside Tang Hongbo and observed him. From his initial casual and relaxed state, he gradually became impatient and showed signs of getting angry, while Tang Hongbo seemed to be deliberately provoking him.

Rong Xuan clearly had the appearance of a humble gentleman, but as a person he acted like a vile person.

She had truly treated him as a friend before, and because she had trusted him, she had willingly revealed her weakest side to him. However, he had ruthlessly trampled over her dignity and ravaged her final bit of self-esteem repeatedly, so she would never forgive him for the rest of her life.

"I'm not very familiar with it, but since Boss Rong is so anxious, then I will not beat around the bush. Actually, I want to invite Boss Rong to see something, I wonder if Boss Rong is interested?" Tang Hongbo smiled faintly.

"What is it?" Rong Xuan squinted his eyes and asked.

Tang Hongbo took out a photo from the handbag he carried with him. After pausing for a moment, he placed the photo on the table and slowly pushed it in front of him.

Rong Xuan reached out and picked up the photo. Then, his eyes darkened and his expression slightly changed, but immediately returned to normal. He then chucked the photo onto the table.

"It's just a gem. What's so special about it?" Rong Xuan's voice did not fluctuate at all.

"Yes, there's nothing special about it, but doesn't Boss Rong feel that it's familiar?" Tang Hongbo looked straight into Rong Xuan's eyes, giving him no room to dodge at all.

Rong Xuan paused, and quietly avoided Tang Hongbo's eyes.

"Opal gem, who hasn't seen it before? Boss Tang, let me see this, what do you mean by that?"

Tang Hongbo lightly snorted, and then leaned on the chair behind him.

"Do you need me to remind you? "This opal gem was sold at a sky-high price in the French auction three years ago, and the person who bought the gem …"
