Chapter 149: Chapter 149 I’m Endlessly Grateful to Him

"See how things go with Boss Shen."

Shen Dang was discharged from the hospital the next day.

Qiao Xi asked Bei Bei to buy some food for Shen Dang at noon, but when Bei Bei arrived at the hospital, she discovered that the patient had already left the ward.

She inquired with the nurses, who said that after Qiao Xi left the hospital in the morning, Shen Dang followed suit and departed as well.

Bei Bei promptly relayed this to Qiao Xi.

After learning about it, Qiao Xi immediately called Shen Dang.

He really wasn’t someone who could be easily taken care of!

Once the call connected, the lazy voice of Boss Shen came through, "Hello?"

Qiao Xi, holding back her frustration, said, "I heard you were discharged?"

"That rumor you’ve heard is true."

Qiao Xi thought he was practically a magical creature.

Qiao Xi furrowed her brows, "...Didn’t I tell you to stay put in the hospital? Or did you go back to Hai City?"

"Staying alone in the hospital is boring, and the smell of the hospital isn’t pleasant," Shen Dang replied, his voice indifferent.

He was disparaging the hospital.

"Then who will change your dressings?"

Qiao Xi’s voice still sounded calm.

Shen Dang replied matter-of-factly, "Just need to change them in the morning and at night."

"Then suit yourself!" Qiao Xi said coldly.

Suddenly, she felt angry.

Yet, she also felt she had no right to be angry.

But it still felt very unpleasant deep inside.

Turning her head, Qiao Xi bumped right into Jiang Yongge’s inquisitive gaze.

Jiang Yongge gave her a smile, "Qiao Xi."

"Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yongge: "..."

Being called ’teacher’ by the madam, he did feel some pressure, indeed.

But right now, all he could do was pretend he didn’t know.

Jiang Yongge asked calmly, "How is President Shen doing now?"

Everyone had heard about Shen Dang’s heroic rescue.

Aside from those who knew about the relationship between Shen Dang and Qiao Xi, nobody else suspected that Shen Dang was Qiao Xi’s mysterious husband.

"He’s fine, already discharged!"

What could be wrong with someone who had sneaked out of the hospital?

Jiang Yongge observed her, "You seem quite upset about President Shen’s discharge?"

Her complexion didn’t look good.

"Me?" Qiao Xi raised her brows slightly, her eyes carrying a smile, which, however, didn’t reach the depths of her eyes, "No, you saw wrong, Boss Shen helped me, how could I possibly be angry? I’m endlessly grateful to him."

Her expression was cold and tranquil.

Jiang Yongge: "..."

Damn, it looks like President Shen’s path to seeking a reunion is not so simple.

But this was none of his business.

"You don’t need to be too grateful to President Shen, after all, you two..."

Jiang Yongge stopped suddenly mid-sentence, realizing he was about to slip!

"...We what?"

Qiao Xi sensed there was more to his words.

Jiang Yongge shook his head with a smile, "I mean, since President Shen helped you with such a big favor, you do indeed need to thank him properly."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Movie Emperor Jiang was acting very strangely today.

Faced with Qiao Xi’s probing eyes, Jiang Yongge hurriedly made his escape.

In the evening, after Qiao Xi finished her shoot, she and Bei Bei returned to the hotel.

Thinking of Shen Dang, who had left the hospital secretly, Qiao Xi sent him a message.

Shen Dang was dealing with official business on his phone when a WeChat notification popped up: [Have you had dinner?]

He had set Qiao Xi’s contact name to Teacher Qiao.

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, whoops, wasn’t this the first time Qiao Xi took the initiative to care whether he had eaten?

Shen Dang replied to Qiao Xi: [Haven’t eaten yet, Teacher Qiao, can you pack something for me, something heavy like meat?]

Qiao Xi thought to herself sarcastically, in your dreams!

[Qiao Xi: No, you can only eat light food.]

[Jerky Guy: When can I stop following a diet?]

[Qiao Xi: Should I go ask the nurse?]

[Jerky Guy: Naughty.]

Qiao Xi: "..."

You’re the one being naughty, what’s wrong with you!

Qiao Xi stopped replying.

On her way, Qiao Xi asked Bei Bei to pack some food to bring back: "For three."

Bei Bei gave an OK gesture, "Got it! The food for brother-in-law must be light! I’m on it!"

Qiao Xi was about to correct her phrasing when Bei Bei giggled and scurried off the car.

Qiao Xi: "..."

This misunderstanding was big!

When Qiao Xi arrived at the hotel, she hesitated for a moment.

She had wanted Shen Dang to come to her, but since it was too risky to do so in daylight, she dared not take the risk.

So after asking which room Shen Dang was in, Qiao Xi took the dinner to find him.

Though she didn’t want to enter his territory, there was no other option now.

The door opened as soon as Qiao Xi knocked.

Shen Dang made room for her, "Come in."

Qiao Xi stepped inside, "Do I need to change shoes?"

"No need, just wear your own. The hotel is cleaned daily."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi set out the dinner on the table, "You can come and eat now."

Shen Dang glanced over and clicked his tongue, "It’s quite the spread, but my portion tastes too bland."

Qiao Xi didn’t look at him, "Serves you right!"

Shen Dang leaned lazily against the table, watching the person arranging dinner, "I’ll take what I deserve."

Qiao Xi: "..."

That guilty feeling surfaced again.

Qiao Xi handed him chopsticks, her voice icy, "Eat!"

—Less talk!

The two sat opposite each other, eating quietly with slow, graceful movements.

Shen Dang glanced at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

After dinner, Qiao Xi cleaned up the table.

Looking at Shen Dang lounging lazily on the sofa, she said, "Given your current condition, it would be better to go back to Hai City to recuperate, especially since the food outside lacks nutrition; you don’t need to stay here all the time."

Shen Dang looked up at her, his gaze slightly cold, "Do you want me to go back?"

She had said this several times already.

As Shen Dang looked at her, Qiao Xi lowered her gaze.

Shen Dang couldn’t see her facial expression, only hearing her calm and detached voice, "It’s not about what I want, but it’s better for you to go back."

Shen Dang watched her intently, "What if I feel better staying here?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Fine, if that’s what you think, then let it be. I’m going back now."

Her steps were hurried.

Shen Dang didn’t keep her.

After leaving Shen Dang’s room, Qiao Xi didn’t head upstairs but went for a walk outside the hotel.

When she decided to come back, snow suddenly began to drift down from the sky.

It felt cold against her face, but not unpleasantly so.

Streetlights cast a warm glow, and the snowflakes turned yellow in the light, falling slowly.

She tried to catch them, but they melted quickly upon touching her palm.

The snow was beautiful, but it was cold, as if her entire body was chilled.

Qiao Xi didn’t linger to admire the snow, she just sighed at the sight and slowly walked back.

With a bone-chilling coolness, she immediately took a shower after returning to the hotel.

As she came out of the shower, she heard a rhythmic knocking at the door.

She knew without looking that it was Shen Dang.

Still, she peered out through the peephole.

Boss Shen stood there, shirt neatly pressed, his overcoat crisp and sharp, even his current demeanor appeared nonchalant.

His hair was thick and lustrous, an ideal length, features cold and handsome — exceedingly attractive.

Seeing no one open the door, Shen Dang knocked again.
