Chapter 146: Chapter 146 How Long Do You Want Me to Watch?

Bei Bei: "..."

Whoops!

Is Overbearing Boss Shen really this kind of person in private?

Such a contrasting persona!

When they arrived at the hospital, it was just past eight.

Qiao Xi entered the ward alone.

Shen Dang was still sleeping.

Qiao Xi placed the breakfast on the coffee table, walked to the bedside, and looked down at the person in the bed.

Shen Dang’s brows were slightly furrowed; he seemed to sleep poorly, his handsome face unusually pale compared to his usual healthy complexion.

His sleeping posture wasn’t great either, even in sleep, there was something unrestrained about him, his clean-cut features projecting a cool demeanor.

He looked quiet, more submissive, lesser of his typical devil-may-care laxity.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to wake him, she saw Shen Dang slowly open his dark eyes, which drew people in as if dyed with ink.

Shen Dang’s lips curled slightly in a lazy and casual manner, "How long do you intend to watch me?"

Qiao Xi felt caught red-handed, but this embarrassment flashed by quickly as she calmly retorted. "When did I watch you?"

Shen Dang’s eyes hinted at seeing through her jest, "Haven’t you been standing beside my bed for a long time?"

Qiao Xi glared at him, "You knew?"

And she hadn’t been standing there for long, alright?

Damn man!

Shen Dang languidly replied, "I knew the moment you came in."

What kind of person is this?

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth slightly, "So you were pretending to be asleep!"

"If I hadn’t pretended, how would I have known you were watching me for so long?"

The man really deserved a scolding!

Qiao Xi snorted and argued confidently, "You’re wrong, I wasn’t watching you for a long time. I was just thinking about how ugly this person’s sleeping posture is, so I couldn’t help but look a bit longer; I didn’t mean to make you misunderstand."

Ah, finally a chance to call him ugly.

Qiao Xi felt like she’d finally gotten back at him for calling her ugly.

Shen Dang smiled, his eyes slightly twinkling with amusement, "Well, if you say I’m ugly, then I’m ugly."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Damn!

Why isn’t he arguing back?

Boss Shen is being really weird!

Qiao Xi awkwardly shifted her gaze, "I bought breakfast, you should get up and eat while it’s warm."

"Thanks for the breakfast, Teacher Qiao."

Shen Dang said, then flung the covers aside.

He was wearing the hospital’s blue and white uniform, which still managed to look classy on him.

Where others use clothes to enhance their appearance, he enhances the clothes.

Qiao Xi sat down on the sofa, and Shen Dang went to wash up, then joined Qiao Xi on the same sofa.

"What’s for breakfast?"

Qiao Xi, who was looking at her phone, responded without looking up, "Why don’t you open it and see for yourself?"

Shen Dang gave her a look, said nothing, and began eating his breakfast. Just then, a nurse came to change his dressing.

Shen Dang lay on the bed as Qiao Xi glanced his way, noting his furrowed brow, she approached and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Shen Dang looked over at Qiao Xi, a mischievous smile crossing his features, "Should I perform a free-style dance for you?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Guess it’s not easy to get past that jest.

"That’s not possible." The nurse seriously intervened, "These wounds need careful handling until they scar, you must avoid anything that could irritate the skin."

Shen Dang sounded slightly regretful, "Then, it seems like the performance will have to wait."

Throughout the conversation, his lazy black eyes kept watching Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi felt this man really had it coming.

She rolled her eyes and sat back on the sofa.

Shen Dang turned his head away, wincing in pain.

Before leaving, the nurse carefully advised, "You need to eat light foods for the time being, avoid spicy foods, keep the wound dry, and remember to take your prescribed medication on time."

Qiao Xi nodded, "We’ll be careful."

Once the nurse left, the room fell silent.

Shen Dang, feeling uncomfortable lying down, propped his legs up and sat on the bed, "Aren’t you filming today, Teacher Qiao?"

The sofa was next to a window, and outside, the sky looked gloomy.

But Shen Dang thought that Qiao Xi looked radiantly pale.

"I took leave."

Qiao Xi responded indifferently.

"Oh, it seems you did that for me."

Qiao Xi huffed, "Don’t flatter yourself."

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "Then I’ll just flatter myself."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi looked at him, his compliance with her narrative really unsettled her, couldn’t he argue like before?

That way, she could fire back!

However, Shen Dang didn’t proceed as before.

Just then, Qiao Xi’s phone rang. It was the police station calling to say they had confirmed the man’s identity, asking her to come to the station.

"I’m going to the police station, you rest here."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi took Bei Bei and headed to the police station.

The man’s identity was very ordinary, so ordinary that it wouldn’t raise any suspicions.

At the police station, they found evidence and he admitted to sending Qiao Xi a dead rat, but couldn’t explain why he did it.

He merely mentioned disliking Qiao Xi’s style and wanted to scare her.

Qiao Xi didn’t buy that story.

She didn’t know this man, and couldn’t comprehend why he harbored such intense animosity against her, enough to attempt murder.

Was he really willing to risk his own life just because he disliked her?

Qiao Xi averted her gaze and asked, "What did Wei Xue say?"

The female officer replied, "Wei Xue said she doesn’t know the suspect, and the suspect hasn’t confirmed anything either, in this case, we..."

"Who says they’re not related?"

Just then, Sheng Chao waltzed in, his bespoke suit crisp without a wrinkle.

His aloof handsome face appeared supercilious.

Sheng Chao looked over at the man, scoffing contemptuously, "You know Jian Yi, don’t you? Zhang Guochao?"

Zhang Guochao sharply looked up, then sneered, "Whoever you’re talking about as Jian Yi, I don’t know her."

Qiao Xi’s brows knitted slightly, "Brother Chao, what does this mean?"

"Zhang Guochao, Jian Yi’s secret admirer. I’ve found quite a bit of contact between them, so guess what’s their relationship?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi had almost forgotten Jian Yi existed, if not for Sheng Chao bringing her up.

But Qiao Xi was a bit confused.

Does Jian Yi truly despise her that much?

"What are you talking about? You’re slandering me, and I can sue you!" Zhang Guochao became agitated.

His cuffed hands continuously tapped on the table.

The officer pressed him down, "Quiet!"

"Okay, go ahead and sue me." Sheng Chao sneered drily, "Let me think how long you’d be in prison for attempted assault, and for Jian Yi, you really would do anything."

"You’re talking nonsense; I don’t know what you’re talking about!" Zhang Guochao avoided Sheng Chao’s cold gaze.

Sheng Chao handed a stack of documents to the police, "Take a look, here’s the evidence of Jian Yi conspiring with Zhang Guochao to harm Qiao Xi."
