Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Brother Dang, You’re Blocking My Light

Qiao Xi: "..."

Boss Shen really had great timing, coming exactly at the right moment.

It just goes to show that you shouldn’t talk about people behind their back.

Tang Honghe looked up at Shen Dang, with a smirk slightly showing on his face, "Brother, sister-in-law lost terribly tonight."

Qiao Xi gave him a look, "It’s just a little money, not that much. What’s most important is that everyone has a good time."

"Look how generous sister-in-law is." Tang Honghe complimented before adding, "But if you keep losing like this, Brother Dang will have to treat everyone tonight."

Shen Dang glanced at the cards Qiao Xi was holding and leaned slightly towards her, "Teacher Qiao, how much have you lost tonight?"

Shen Dang’s breath tickled her ear as he spoke, sending a shiver down her skin.

The proximity made Qiao Xi feel momentarily disoriented as if there hadn’t been any alienation between them, but instead a close intimacy.

Was it his breath that was too scorching, or his voice that made her heart flutter, Qiao Xi almost couldn’t keep a grip on her mahjong tiles.

She tilted her head slightly and murmured a number.

Then she pushed him away, her voice tinged with disdain, "Don’t stand here, you’re blocking my light."

It was totally cheating for him to be so close to her!

Shen Dang gave a small smirk, straightened up lazily placing his hands in his pockets, standing upright beside Qiao Xi.

The presence of the man was like a towering Buddha.

Tang Honghe felt his hands fumbling with the mahjong, annoyed, "Brother Dang, you’re blocking my light."

"..."

Shen Dang’s dark eyes swept towards him coldly, was he in the way from all the way across the table?

"I’ll take the next round."

Shen Dang said this to Qiao Xi: "I’ll win back everything you lost, and even grab some extra interest."

But his gaze stayed on Tang Honghe.

Tang Honghe: "..."

You might as well say you’re going to win my money, no need to beat around the bush staring at me like that.

Tonight, Tang Honghe was the biggest winner.

He couldn’t hold back and cried out, "Brother Dang, that’s not fair!"

Qu Jiashu snickered, enjoying the drama: "See what happens when you gloat? They have a helper, and you don’t."

Tang Honghe almost fell on the table.

Having a helper, big deal!

"Alright, you come play then," Qiao Xi smiled lightly.

Just as she was ready to lay down a tile, Shen Dang caught her fingers before she released it, "Keep this one."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Gritting her teeth slightly, that sneaky man was showing off again in front of everyone, why bother touching?

Carrying her hand, Shen Dang put down the tile and chose another, "Discard this one, it’s better."

By now, both of Qiao Xi’s hands were on the table, she let out a resigned sigh.

She felt like a primary school student being watched over by the teacher.

Qiao Xi’s skills weren’t that good, but perhaps it was Shen Dang’s influence, she won the first round tonight.

As the mahjong table automatically shuffled the tiles, Qiao Xi stood up, "I’m not playing anymore, you guys continue."

"Then I won’t play either, I’ll have Brother Chao take over."

Su Tutu also gave up her spot, and just as Sheng Chao walked in, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu went outside.

Outside, they saw Qu Keke dressed like a princess.

It was unclear when she had arrived, surrounded by several young gentlemen, though she haughtily paid them no mind.

But of course, Miss Qu always held her head high, only having eyes for Boss Shen.

"Qiao Xi, what are you doing here? You never used to attend these kinds of gatherings," Qu Keke saw Qiao Xi, her expression turning strange and hostile.

As Qu Jiashu’s sister, Qu Keke usually carried an air of superiority, but she wasn’t really in the same league as Xie Baola.

So, Qiao Xi really didn’t pay her much attention.

She looked at Qu Keke and chuckled, "Is it strange for me to be here? More importantly, you aren’t sneaking here behind your brother’s back, are you?"

Qu Keke was younger than the rest of the group, Qiao Xi and Qu Jiashu considered her a tag-along to their group in the past.

Her words lit up Qu Keke like fireworks: "What’s it to you? It’s not your place to manage me!"

Qiao Xi smirked, her tone as airy as if it was none of her concern, "I’m not your mom, why would I manage you?"

"You—"

"Enough," Su Tutu grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand and placed it over hers, "Don’t argue with a little sister."

This little sister is both green and playful.

Qu Keke immediately glared at her, her face full of arrogance, "Who are you calling little sister? How dare you say that?"

"Xixi, why do people always ask such silly questions?" Su Tutu couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiao Xi shrugged indicating she didn’t understand.

She glanced at Qu Keke, "Probably wanting to talk to us, but not knowing what to say, so making small talk instead."

"Shameless, who wants to talk to you!"

Hearing the back and forth between the two, Qu Keke fumed, "You guys are really annoying!"

"Qu Keke, what are you making a scene about?"

Hearing the voice, Qu Jiashu stood under a circular archway, looking at them, more precisely at Qu Keke.

"Brother!" Qu Keke turned to him, her eyes flashing guiltily, "I wasn’t making a scene."

"Just stop your yelling, I can hear your squawking from inside. Either play nicely or go home!"

Qu Keke bit her lip, her brother always took sides against her!

So frustrating!

Seeing Qu Jiashu head inside, Qu Keke shot Qiao Xi a glaring look and followed her brother.

As the grand doors swung open again, Cui Wenbai walked in, unexpectedly followed by the Chu siblings.

Su Tutu’s expression darkened at the sight of them.

Cui Wenbai caught Qiao Xi’s eye and smiled, "I was just going to the bathroom and happened upon Young Master Chu and Miss Chu, so I invited them in."

Oddly enough, even though the Chu family was one of the top families, the Chu siblings never clicked with their group.

No one would have invited them to tonight’s game, for example.

Qiao Xi gave a nominal smile, "We’re all friends."

Saying that, she looked away.

Chu Xiuyun approached Qiao Xi, casting a shadow over her, "Xixi, did you come here alone?"

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "No, I came with my husband."

Knowing the inside story, Chu Xiuyun scoffed.

Qiao Xi maintained a calm and composed face.

Because she knew that at this moment, the Chu siblings wouldn’t expose her.

"Why haven’t I seen Ah Dang?" Chu Wan asked with a graceful smile.

"Does Shen Dang know you’re so affectionately calling him Ah Dang?" Qiao Xi looked at her, her lifted eyes carrying a hint of sarcasm.

Chu Wan chuckled lightly, "Miss Qiao, surely you aren’t so petty as to begrudge someone using his name?"

The people sitting nearby could feel the tension between the two ladies, both formidable in their own right.

"Why did you bring them in?" someone asked Cui Wenbai.

"I just bumped into them, I couldn’t exactly refuse."

"...You do realize the Chu siblings are interested in Brother Dang and Qiao Xi, right?"
