My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Last night she rolled passionately into his arms, but then played dumb the next day.

It was a scene of utter chaos!

As expected, after falling asleep, one’s actions are beyond control.

Qiao Xi dared not look anymore and hastily grabbed her coat to head downstairs.

Apart from Old Madam, several elders of the family were downstairs.

"Good morning Grandpa, good morning Mom and Dad."

Qiao Xi greeted them nonchalantly.

Ran Jing was surprised to see Qiao Xi come down alone, "Xixi, why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

Qiao Xi gave her a slight smile, "I need to catch a flight to Jiang City later."

Ran Jing looked behind her, "Where is Ah Dang?"

"He—"

"Why did you come down without waiting for me?"

The voice of Shen Dang came from behind, casual and unhurried, exuding an innate laziness.

"Because you were so slow," Qiao Xi teased him on purpose.

Shen Dang looked at her helplessly, "I wanted to sleep a little longer, but you insisted on getting up."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

Ran Jing noticed their expressions had taken on a suggestive hue.

Qiao Xi covertly glared at Shen Dang, thinking if you can’t talk properly, then don’t talk at all!

Ran Jing’s gaze swept over the two of them, she smiled softly and gently patted Shen Dang on the shoulder, "Xixi has work to rush to, unlike you."

Old Master Shen coughed, "Alright, let’s eat breakfast first. You can go ahead with your matters afterward."

There were guests visiting the Shen Family, and they were to entertain them.

Qiao Xi was off to film, and even Old Master Shen, who was loath to let her go, could only watch her leave.

Shen Dang drove Qiao Xi away from Shen Family Mansion.

On the way, Qiao Xi suddenly remembered the gift from Xie Baola.

"First, take me to Sheng Birch Mansion."

"What for?" Shen Dang seemed to ask casually, but he had already taken the turn towards Sheng Birch Mansion before she answered.

"Baola sent a gift from abroad; I need to go back and get it."

"Xie Baola?"

"Mhm."

The Xie Family was notorious for dabbling in both legitimate and underhanded dealings.

Baola, being the only daughter and highly pampered by Xie Qian, was particularly haughty.

Qiao Xi, with her relatively good temper, surprisingly remained close friends with Xie Baola, through thick and thin.

Of course, all this was what Shen Dang heard from Tang Honghe.

Boss Shen was the most impressive among the young masters and rich second generations, but he never paid much attention to other matters.

In the same circle, Shen Dang ought to be well-acquainted with Qiao Xi and Xie Baola.

In reality, though, they hardly had any close interactions, merely aware of each other’s existence.

Indeed, they had met on some occasions before, but not to the extent of greeting each other.

Not strangers, but not familiar either.

Their most significant encounter happened at the Civil Affairs Bureau two years ago, and they hadn’t seen each other since, until now.

Circling around, it was like an insoluble fate.

The car stopped outside Qiao Xi’s residential area.

Qiao Xi went to retrieve the package and returned to the car.

"Let’s drive."

Boss Shen started the car.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was just resting the box on her lap without opening it, he nodded towards the glovebox, "There’s a fruit knife in there."

With a "click", Qiao Xi took a photo.

"I’ll open it when I get back."

Shen Dang couldn’t understand.

Qiao Xi sent the photo to Xie Baola along with a knockover kiss emoji sticker.

The car stopped at Yingyue Bay. Shen Dang sat in the car without moving for a moment, asking indolently, "Teacher Qiao, what time should I take you to the airport?"

Qiao Xi deliberately glanced at her phone before looking at him, "Hmm, the crew hasn’t notified me yet."

Shen Dang was puzzled.

His tongue tip touched the corner of his lips as he smiled, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

"What on purpose? The group just said they’re delaying return to the crew; I couldn’t predict that."

"Tsk."

"Forget it if you don’t believe it."

Qiao Xi pushed open the car door and got out.

Shen Dang followed her in as well.

He casually twirled his car keys behind her, "How about we go back to Shen Family Mansion?"

Qiao Xi met Shen Dang’s careless smile and replied with a sneer, "Have you gone mad?"

The chance to leave the Shen Family Mansion was hard to come by; why would she possibly go back?

Shen Dang settled on the couch, lazily eyeing her as he said, "Then, I can be sure now."

"I have no idea what you’re talking about."

Qiao Xi was planning to head upstairs.

"Let me know when you’re going to Jiang City; I’ll drive you."

"We’ll see."

Boss Shen watched her retreating back and clicked his tongue again.

Last night, she had enthusiastically rolled into his arms, and now she acted as if he was a stranger.

Women...

Sheng Chao and his wife, because of the filming delay, organized another game session. Right in the middle of the festive season, a bunch of friends came together out of boredom.

Qiao Xi also went with Shen Dang.

When the two arrived, many people were already seated in the big room.

"Brother Dang and Sister-in-Law are here."

Tang Honghe hailed them upon seeing them, patting a seat beside him for Shen Dang to sit.

Many greeted Shen Dang as well.

Ignoring Tang Honghe, Shen Dang casually took a seat on a couch.

Qiao Xi saw Su Tutu and walked over to her.

"Sister, where did you spend New Year’s Eve last night?" Su Tutu gave her a sly wink.

Qiao Xi gave her a glance, saying dryly, "If you’re asking, doesn’t it mean you already know? You’re asking knowingly."

"I want to hear it from you."

"You’re bored."

Qiao Xi laughed.

Su Tutu affectionately held her arm, "There’s a mahjong table inside. Let’s play for a while."

Sitting here would be boring, and inside it was quieter. Qiao Xi nodded, "Sure."

Su Tutu then shouted, "Who wants to play mahjong, eh? Tutu and Xixi here, we need two more."

"Me!"

"Count me in!"

Tang Honghe and Qu Jiashu raised their hands.

The four of them moved to the indoor area.

Rubbing his hands, Tang Honghe declared, "Don’t expect mercy from me later, ladies. If you lose money, you can ask Brother Chao and Brother Dang to pay."

Su Tutu chuckled, "Easy to say, but we’ll see who actually wins or loses."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips with a smile, "Exactly."

Qu Jiashu loosened his finger joints, setting the stakes: "Let’s make it clear, whoever wins will cover tonight’s expenses."

"You’re wrong there, Jiashu!" Su Tutu protested, "Brother Chao’s already hosting. Why say such things and put someone in a spot?"

Qu Jiashu confidently asked, "Who’s the worst at Mahjong here?"

The worst at Mahjong?

Tang Honghe immediately looked at Qiao Xi.

"Oh oh, looks like it’ll be Brother Dang treating us tonight!"

Qiao Xi was speechless.

Was she being looked down on?

Curling her red lips, Qiao Xi asserted, "Don’t get too smug. If Paula were here, she’d wipe the floor with all of you."

She’d try to keep Shen Dang from reaching for his wallet tonight.

Tang Honghe remarked, "If Xie Baola were here, I wouldn’t even dare play against her."

The game started.

In the beginning, everyone quickly played their tiles.

After winning the first round, Tang Honghe cackled nefariously, "Thanks to my brother and sisters-in-law for going easy on me."

Qu Jiashu cursed him jokingly.

Qiao Xi guessed she was out of luck tonight; she kept losing and felt numb to it.

Su Tutu, having won a sum, raised an eyebrow in triumph, her smile bold and beaming.

"Sister, why don’t you call Boss Shen in to help?"

Before Qiao Xi could respond, a lazy, deep voice came from behind, "Did someone call for me?"
