My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 157: You Should Know Shen Dang Doesn’t Have Much Sincerity Towards You

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: You Should Know Shen Dang Doesn’t Have Much Sincerity Towards You

Bei Bei wore a guarded look on her face, always feeling that this person was not to be provoked, and that his haunting presence was far more terrifying than the likes of Zhou Junqi, the "green tea" man who had already been shelved.

But still, she resolutely stepped in front of Qiao Xi to intercept him.

The moment Qiao Xi laid eyes on him, her expression turned cold as she pulled Bei Bei aside, "Chu Xiuyun, what are you trying to do? I’ve made myself very clear today."

"Xixi, let’s talk this over properly."

Qiao Xi had no idea how long he had been waiting there, but the overpowering smell of smoke on him made her feel uncomfortable.

Qiao Xi frowned, "I have nothing to talk to you about, could you try not to embarrass yourself?"

She was getting impatient.

"Boss’s wife!"

Several tall bodyguards suddenly appeared, "We were sent by President Shen, are you in any trouble?"

Qiao Xi paused, not expecting that Shen Dang had arranged for bodyguards.

"Just keep him away from me."

"Young Master Chu, please step back."

Chu Xiuyun’s face was filled with malice, "Do you know who I am?"

"We know who you are, but President Shen ordered us to listen to the boss’s wife. Please do not disturb our boss’s wife."

Seeing that they outnumbered him, Chu Xiuyun snorted coldly, "Xixi, you should know that Shen Dang doesn’t care about you that much."

"That is between him and me." Qiao Xi gave him an indifferent glance and got into her car.

The bodyguards followed in a car behind Qiao Xi’s.

Bei Bei watched the car behind her and felt much more at ease with the bodyguards tailing them, "Sister Xi, Boss Shen is just incredible, sending bodyguards to protect you. He truly is the walking Overbearing Boss Shen!"

Qiao Xi’s cell phone suddenly rang.

She glanced down, it was indeed a call from Shen Dang.

With a swipe of her finger, Qiao Xi hung up. She was in no mood to talk, feeling both physically and emotionally exhausted. There was nothing she wanted to deal with.

What could she say?

Should she confront Shen Dang about revealing their divorce?

At this point, there was nothing left to say.

Perhaps Shen Dang realized she hadn’t answered, so he didn’t call again, but he did send a WeChat message.

[Overbearing Boss: I had arranged for the bodyguards to protect you from before. I will get Chu Xiuyun back to Hai City as soon as possible.]

Get Chu Xiuyun back to Hai City?

Qiao Xi knew he must have a way, she didn’t ask for details and did not reply. Holding her phone, she just leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Bei Bei didn’t disturb her.

As soon as the car stopped, Qiao Xi opened her eyes.

Xiao Qing had invited Bei Bei to have supper via WeChat. Bei Bei turned to ask Qiao Xi, "Sister Xi, should I go buy dinner for you?"

"No need, I’m not really hungry right now."

"Then I’ll pack some supper for you later."

"We’ll see."

Qiao Xi got out of the car and returned to the hotel.

At the same time, Shen Dang received a message on his phone: [The boss’s wife has safely returned to the hotel.]

It wasn’t long after Qiao Xi returned to her room when the doorbell rang.

Su Tutu walked in struggling with a big bag.

Qiao Xi leaned against the door and watched her, "What’s that?"

"Hotpot! I was waiting for you to get off work, let’s start it up and we can eat hotpot."

Su Tutu had returned to the hotel first since she had no scenes scheduled.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Hotpot again.

"Hotpot is high in calories, aren’t you worried about gaining weight?" Qiao Xi closed the door and walked to her side, watching her lay out each item on the dining table.

Full of conviction, Su Tutu said, "Even if I get fat, Brother Chao won’t mind."

Qiao Xi: "..."

What else could she say?

Su Tutu quickly lit the fire. When the broth was boiling, she began dipping meat and vegetables, with chili oil splashing onto the tabletop.

The spices of the hotpot whetted her appetite, and Su Tutu swallowed instinctively, her face brimming with satisfaction as she eyed the red oil bubbling away.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Lucky I haven’t showered yet, or else I’d have to take another one."

"Come on, let’s eat!" Su Tutu called her over.

Qiao Xi only had a little before putting down her chopsticks. It was a bit spicy, so she poured a glass of water and took leisurely sips.

Su Tutu looked at her with a strange gaze, "Not eating anymore?"

"I’m full."

Su Tutu complained, "You have the stomach of a cat!"

Qiao Xi laughed, "You can eat more."

"Eat a bit more."

Su Tutu filled Qiao Xi’s bowl to the brim.

Qiao Xi looked at her skeptically, "Are you raising a pig?"

"Heehee, I’m raising a pig on behalf of Boss Shen. Once it’s fat, it can be slaughtered."

Qiao Xi suddenly composed herself.

"You look off-color, what happened? Did that Chu Xiuyun say something to you today?"

Su Tutu flared up.

She always thought there was not a single good person among the Chu siblings!

"It’s not him." Qiao Xi shook her head.

Currently, Chu Xiuyun was only a nuisance to her at most, not yet having any significant impact on her.

Putting down her chopsticks, Su Tutu said seriously, "Then what is it that you can’t tell me?"

"There’s nothing to say, really."

Qiao Xi was nonchalant.

She was just being needlessly anxious.

Su Tutu: "...Is it because of Boss Shen?"

Qiao Xi laughed, "Don’t think too much, I just genuinely have no appetite."

Seeing that Qiao Xi didn’t want to talk more, Su Tutu refrained from asking further.

After finishing the hotpot, Su Tutu hung around for a while before leaving.

Reeking of hotpot, Qiao Xi couldn’t bear the smell and promptly took a bath. As she emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, she saw her phone vibrating on the table.

She walked over, picked it up, and after hesitating for a moment, answered the call anyway.

She didn’t speak.

A languid voice from Shen Dang came from the other end, "Qiao Xi."

"What is it?"

"I almost thought you wouldn’t answer my call."

Boss Shen sounded nonchalant.

"So, you were testing me?" Qiao Xi frowned, "How pointless!"

"Well..." He fell silent, then added, "Not exactly."

Mainly, he just wanted to call her.

Because she hadn’t answered a few hours earlier.

If she didn’t answer again, he wouldn’t call anymore.

Qiao Xi was somewhat speechless.

It was a quiet winter night, and no breeze stirred indoors.

Shen Dang’s voice was low and husky, "What did Chu Xiuyun say to you today?"

Qiao Xi hummed faintly, as if it were nothing, "Was it Tutu who told you?"

Truly a traitor, that Su Tutu!

And not just Su Tutu, but also Jiang Yongge. Sheng Dang acknowledged with a low sound, "So what exactly did he say to you?"

"He said we’re divorced now, that I’m free, and asked me to give him a chance."

Shen Dang could sense the subtle sarcasm in Qiao Xi’s words and paused, "Grandmother has been looking forward to our divorce. I was afraid she would make trouble, so I told her."

Shen Dang hadn’t expected the Old Madam to turn around and inform Chu Wan, which led to Chu Xiuyun pestering Qiao Xi.

At this thought, Shen Dang’s dark eyes instantly cooled.

"Since it’s been said, so be it. If Grandfather also finds out, it will not be my responsibility."

Although she wanted the old man to be well, she was helpless if others did not share her wish.

"This matter is due to my negligence."

"You don’t need to say it like that."

After all, she had no relationship with him now.

Hearing her implication, Shen Dang felt irked at the bottom of his heart.
