My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 156: Someone Asked Your Wife Out

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Someone Asked Your Wife Out

Qiao Xi was startled for a moment but quickly hid her reaction behind an impassive smile. "I don’t know where you heard such rumors," she said in an even tone.

Chu Xiuyun looked at her helplessly, "Xixi, there’s no need between us to speak in riddles. If I wasn’t sure about this, I wouldn’t have come to Jiang City to find you."

How much affection could she possibly have in a business marriage with Shen Dang?

Everything was finally getting back on track.

"Oh," Qiao Xi responded, pulling at her lip with a somewhat cold expression. "Since that’s the case, don’t beat around the bush with me. Just speak plainly."

Chu Xiuyun’s gaze clung tightly to Qiao Xi’s face, as though he wanted to etch her into his heart. "Xixi, you’re free now. Give me a chance to take care of you. Shen Dang let you down, but I never will."

Chu Xiuyun seemed obsessed with the idea of having her.

It was crazy.

But Qiao Xi felt disgusted.

With a straight face, she said, "Even without Shen Dang, there would never be anything between us."

Qiao Xi knew that Chu Xiuyun had liked her for a long time, and she had made her feelings clear to him from the start.

Since she had no intentions toward him, she wouldn’t give him any chance to avoid further complications.

So, Qiao Xi didn’t understand where Chu Xiuyun’s obsession with her came from.

"Xixi," Chu Xiuyun said, his expression pained. "Do you really have to break my heart like this?"

Qiao Xi calmly responded, "If you weren’t unilaterally attached to me, I couldn’t possibly break your heart."

Seeing Chu Xiuyun like this, Qiao Xi was completely indifferent.

Chu Xiuyun had a gloomy look in his eye, and a sadness from being hurt. "But you clearly know my feelings."

"So what?" Qiao Xi’s response carried an innate elegance and aloofness. "Feelings in this world are never reciprocal. There’s no rule saying that I have to return your feelings proportionately. We’re all adults, Chu Xiuyun. Can’t you stop being so childish? You and I will never be possible."

"Why?"

It wasn’t the first time Qiao Xi had rejected him, and Chu Xiuyun couldn’t accept it.

"Because I have never liked you."

Qiao Xi stated it clearly and plainly.

"I never have, and I never will."

Chu Xiuyun’s eyes darkened with coldness. "So who do you like then? Don’t tell me it’s Shen Dang."

Qiao Xi pressed her lips together and looked at him. "Yes, I like him."

What had been an ambiguous cloudiness between her and Shen Dang was inadvertently torn open, and Qiao Xi discovered her feelings hidden within.

Even if she couldn’t clarify whether it was true affection or just feelings developed from their time together.

At least she knew her feelings for Shen Dang were different from those she had for Chu Xiuyun.

And that difference was enough for her.

She’d never had answers before, but now they seemed within reach. It felt like a sudden relief to Qiao Xi.

"You’re lying!"

Chu Xiuyun didn’t believe her.

But Qiao Xi said it without hesitation.

It stung his eyes.

Qiao Xi scoffed, "I have no reason to lie to you."

"You’ve divorced! Xixi, your marriage to him was fake from the start—how could you fall for him?"

"Love is always complicated to explain. Just because I divorced Shen Dang doesn’t mean it’s over between us."

Qiao Xi sat upright, her regal demeanor and elegance radiated a noble charm. "Chu Xiuyun, we’re all busy. Don’t act as if you can’t live without me; it’s pointless. Let’s not make this more awkward. I have said my piece. I’m leaving."

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Old Master Shen about your divorce?" Chu Xiuyun threatened.

Now Qiao Xi was sure that Chu Xiuyun had learned about her divorce from Chu Wan.

And Chu Wan... well, it must have been Old Madam Shen who told her.

Which meant Shen Dang had told Old Madam Shen.

"You can go ahead and tell," Qiao Xi wasn’t afraid of Chu Xiuyun’s threat, smiling slightly, "When that happens, Shen Dang and I will just be upfront with grandfather and tell him we got divorced because we want to start dating properly. Who do you think grandfather will believe?"

Chu Xiuyun was momentarily stunned.

He couldn’t tell if Qiao Xi’s words were true or not.

Qiao Xi smiled gently, "Don’t believe everything you hear. A divorce certificate doesn’t represent everything. As long as Shen Dang and I are on the same page, that’s enough."

Qiao Xi didn’t show any signs of faltering.

She spoke slowly and then braced herself against the chilling winter wind as she walked onto the street.

Chu Xiuyun didn’t stop her, his reflection in the window filled with grimness.

Qiao Xi hailed a taxi back to the production crew.

She leaned back in the seat, eyes closed with exhaustion.

Chu Xiuyun’s visit had left her feeling troubled and deeply powerless.

Upon reaching the production crew, Qiao Xi started her makeup and changed clothes, handing her phone to Bei Bei before shooting.

...

Hai City.

Shen Dang and Sheng Chao got off the airplane.

"Where will you go later?" Sheng Chao asked as he switched on his phone.

"To the company," Shen Dang replied, concise as ever.

Sheng Chao saw a message from Su Tutu and glanced at Shen Dang, "Ah Dang, give Xixi a call."

Shen Dang looked at him lazily, "What happened?"

"My wife says Chu Xiuyun has come to Jiang City and he asked Xixi out about two hours ago."

Shen Dang’s beautiful eyes gradually showed a hint of fierceness.

"My phone is out of battery, lend me yours."

Sheng Chao handed over his phone.

Shen Dang called Qiao Xi, but she didn’t answer.

Shen Dang smiled coldly, "Let’s head back."

Sheng Chao raised an eyebrow, "You just divorced, and that just gives Chu Xiuyun an opportunity. What’s your plan now? Not going directly to Jiang City?"

Shen Dang scoffed dismissively, "I’ve been married to Qiao Xi for two years away from Hai City and he didn’t have a chance, what chance does he have now?"

Shen Dang wasn’t worried about Chu Xiuyun; if Qiao Xi had any feelings for him, things wouldn’t be the way they were now.

It’s just that Chu Xiuyun could be annoying at times.

"A cornered dog will jump over a wall," Sheng Chao casually reminded.

"Heh, then we’ll just force him back to Hai City."

Assistant Gao picked up his boss and noticed the upset look on his face but didn’t dare to ask what happened.

"President Shen, to the company?" he asked.

"Yes."

In the car, as soon as Shen Dang plugged in his phone, he couldn’t wait to turn it on.

He tried calling Qiao Xi again, still no answer.

His eyes lowered slightly, a hint of irritation in his message to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was upset that Shen Dang had told the old lady about their divorce.

They had agreed to keep it hidden from grandpa, yet he let someone else in on it—wasn’t he afraid it would reach the old man?

Chu Xiuyun’s presence was also annoying her.

So, she turned off her phone during filming.

In the evening, after the shooting was over,

Qiao Xi walked out of the film city with Bei Bei and before they could get into the car, Chu Xiuyun suddenly appeared in front of them.
