Tang Hongbo looked at her slightly angry face and couldn't help but smile. She was still herself, and no matter how he tried to conceal it, he still had a habit of doing it.

These little habits were all formed by her over the years. This was her, it had always been her, he knew in his heart.

After spending the morning in a state of chaos, Chen Xi had really never thought that Rong Xuan's fiancee would come and cause trouble. She had always hated him and had blacklisted him in her heart.

As for the gossip in the company, she could just ignore it. After all, it didn't matter to her. She only cared about what she cared about.

Chen Xi felt a little bit of pain, because she had already been in Tang Hongbo's office for three consecutive days. The key issue was not the pain in someone's office, but she felt that other than looking at documents, Tang Hongbo had been looking at her every day.

His eyes seemed to have grown on her, making her hair stand on end.

For example, at this time, Tang Hongbo was holding his head with one hand, smiling merrily at Chen Xi, who was sitting across from her.

Chen Xi felt that every day, she would be raped by his gaze a hundred times.

She heavily put down the pen in her hands and looked at Tang Hongbo with anger.

"What are you looking at?"

Tang Hongbo smiled slightly.

"Look at my own girlfriend." Tang Hongbo's words were magnanimous.

Chen Xi's expression froze.

"Who's your girlfriend?" Chen Xi cursed in her heart.

"Whoever is angry will be the one."

Chen Xi was helpless, she had never known that he had such a rogue side.

"I've long heard that the president of the Tang clan is cold and tyrannical, lofty and above the masses. Only now did I realize that he was actually just a rogue who knows how to talk. Boss Tang, aren't you afraid that your people will collapse in front of everyone?" Chen Xi snorted.

Tang Hongbo was still smiling merrily, as if he did not react much to Chen Xi's words.

"Why do I care about others? From the beginning to the end, I only cared about your son. Could it be that Xi Xi knows about it?"

Chen Xi felt a little fidgety, then stood up with a whoosh.

"Where to?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"Get out for a breath of fresh air." After Chen Xi finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the office.

The CEO's office was a good place, on the top floor there was a huge balcony. Other than Tang Hongbo, no one dared to come up, and Tang Hongbo rarely came up, because he would never waste his time here.

She held a cup of coffee and stood on the balcony. The snow that had yet to melt covered the edge of the balcony, and the aroma of the coffee wafted up. She took a deep breath.

Looking out from the balcony of the 32nd floor, she could see half of A city. She had once felt that this city was so big that not a single place belonged to her.

It was the same now. She still couldn't figure out why a person could be so bad. She also didn't know why a person's acting skills were so good.

She thought about how she and Duan Wenyu had realized that right now, everything was built from lies, and she couldn't take it anymore.

How bad would a person be, and how strong would one's heart be to face everything with lies? She admitted that she was not as strong as Duan Wenyu in her heart. She was merely a small existence, a small figure in the vast sea of people.

If he was wrong, then the biggest mistake was that his body should not have Duan Clan blood flowing through it.

However, there was no way to change this. She was destined to be like this ever since she was born.

And this was the most humiliating thing about her.

Suddenly, she felt something heavy on her shoulders. She turned her head around, and did not know when, but Tang Hongbo had already appeared behind her back.

On her shoulder was the coat he had given her.

"Do you think about life in such a cold day?" Tang Hongbo's tone was filled with blame and heartache.

"Yeah." Chen Xi was no longer as harsh on her as before.

Seeing her gentle expression, Tang Hongbo couldn't help but feel his heart soften. He suddenly reached out and stroked her long hair that was being blown around by the wind.

Chen Xi did not move, and allowed him to stroke her hair.

Chen Xi looked at him strangely, her tone indifferent.

"You can let go now. I won't say anything, but that doesn't mean you can keep touching me." Chen Xi saw that she was sticking to her hair, and could not help but grab back her hair.

Tang Hongbo laughed.

"The weather is so cold, let's go down."

Chen Xi sneered, and intentionally ridiculed her.

"So it turns out that a dignified President of the Tang Family is actually afraid of the cold.

Chen Xi had originally been mocking him, but she hadn't thought that he would actually crawl along with the flow and take the opportunity to hug Chen Xi from behind.

"Yeah, I'm really afraid of the cold. Xi Xi can just let me hug you for a while, can't you just treat it as heating me up?" Tang Hongbo said in all seriousness.

When Chen Xi saw him hug her and lean his head on her shoulder, she finally understood what it meant to lift a rock to smash her feet.

"Let go." Chen Xi said as she grinded her teeth.

"No, I'm cold." Tang Hongbo spoke with righteousness.

"Cold, you go in." Chen Xi maintained a straight face.

Tang Hongbo: "But I want to be with you."

Chen Xi: "Then let go."

Tang Hongbo: "But, I'm cold."

Chen Xi: "Leng, you can go in."

… ….

It was like a tug of war, Chen Xi and Tang Hongbo constantly tangled on this issue.

In the end, it was Tang Hongbo who used a kiss that caught her off guard to cover her mouth.

Only after she had completely quietened down did Tang Hongbo release her, blew close to her ear and gave her an ambiguous warning.

"Just this kid let me hug you quietly for a while, if you say anything else, I'll still kiss you."

Chen Xi blushed, secretly calling her a scoundrel, a hooligan, but Tang Hongbo held her tighter and tighter.

Chen Xi felt that not long after she returned, most of the time she was either taken advantage of by him or on his way back.

She felt that she had failed so she took advantage of this opportunity to ask, quietly, seriously.

"Why do you always do this to me?"

Tang Hongbo stared blankly for a moment. Then, she understood the meaning of her question.

"I don't know. Maybe it's just a habit."

Chen Xi's heart ached. Habit, getting used to this word was terrifying. It would change your entire condition.

Once it became a new habit, he would forget his previous habit, but after all these years, he was still used to it. When he saw her, he would hug her and kiss her.

So it turned out that he had not changed his habit even after so many years.

"But I'm not your wife." Chen Xi said against her own heart.

"It doesn't matter. I know you're my girlfriend now, and you'll become my wife sooner or later." Tang Hongbo said gently.

Chen Xi was silent for a while.

"You know, that's not what I meant. Look at me." Chen Xi broke free from Tang Hongbo's embrace and turned to face him.

She seriously asked again after making Tang Hongbo look straight into her eyes.

"Who am I?"

Tang Hongbo looked into her eyes and said each word clearly.

"You are Chen Xi, my wife, the only woman Tang Hongbo has ever loved from the past until the future."

Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She thought he would say that she was Duan Wenzhuo, but even if she was Chen Xi, she didn't want to be injured again.

No matter what, she felt that she wouldn't be able to go back.

The two of them looked at each other for what seemed like an eternity before Chen Xi finally spoke.

"Yes, I am Chen Xi, but I am not your wife. How are you so sure that the one you love is Chen Xi and not your missing wife? I am not a substitute for anyone, and I will not be anyone else's substitute. I am just Chen Xi. " Chen Xi purposely told him in hopes that he would give up.

She was afraid that she didn't have enough willpower to face him. She was truly afraid that she would fall.

If so, what was the point of all this?

What was the point of her coming home?

It was her business and hers to punish those who deserved to be punished.

She had to solve the problem by herself. She didn't want to rely on him, and if he knew, then it would be none of her business. What she wanted was to personally see her walk into destruction, one step at a time.

"No one is a substitute for anyone. You are her, and she is you. I have no doubt about this." Tang Hongbo also became serious.

"What makes you so sure?" Chen Xi asked harshly.

Tang Hongbo seemed to be infuriated, he looked at Chen Xi and almost roared out in a low voice.

"From what I feel about you, Tony is my son."

Chen Xi was startled, yes, she could not change the existence of Tony.

She suddenly had nothing to refute, so she could only silently become angry.

Then looking at the unmelted snow at the edge of the balcony, she suddenly became childish and grabbed a handful of it, then smashed it all onto his body.

"Incomprehensible."

After she was done, she quickly escaped the scene.

Tang Hongbo was completely stunned. Seeing the marks left on his body by the snow and the person responsible for it quickly evacuating, he suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He could not help but shake his head. Then, with a doting smile on his face, he too left the balcony.

When he returned to the office, Chen Xi was naturally no longer there. He looked at the watch in his hands and realized that it was already past time to get off work.

When Secretary Wang knocked on the door and entered, he saw Tang Hongbo's face full of smiles, and he knew, that the reason he was so happy must be because of Chen Xi.

After all, he had not seen Tang Hongbo in person ever since his wife had gone missing.

"What is it?" Tang Hongbo asked.
