Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Should I Pursue Teacher Qiao? Give Me a Chance

Qiao Xi: "..."

Just now, didn’t he say he missed her?

What did he mean by asking this now?

Qiao Xi pursed her crimson lips and remained silent.

"Mmm, I did come chasing after you."

It seemed more like he was answering his own question.

That deep voice fell into her ears.

Maybe the night was too tender, or perhaps they were too close to each other, but Qiao Xi actually felt a kind of gentleness emanating from him.

Even the atmosphere seemed just right.

Qiao Xi didn’t say anything for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Would you let me chase you, Teacher Qiao, if I ask for a chance?"

Shen Dang bent down in front of her, his gaze meeting her at eye level.

In this posture and at this distance, their emotions could not hide.

Without raising her eyes, Qiao Xi could see him, and her heart throbbed again: "Is it what I’m thinking?"

The meaning of a man pursuing a woman.

This was unprecedented, Boss Shen was actually saying he wanted to chase her!

Should she go buy a lottery ticket or something?

Shen Dang stared at her, not concealing his intentions: "Yes, it is exactly what you’re thinking."

"How do you know what I’m thinking? Are you the worm in my belly?" Qiao Xi purposefully teased him.

"Don’t say such disgusting things, just tell me if you would let me chase you or not."

Qiao Xi’s bright phoenix eyes defiantly replied: "What if I say no? Just because you say you’ll chase me, I have to let you?"

"Mmm, about that..." Boss Shen seriously pondered for a moment: "Then I’ll just try hard until you’re willing to let me chase you."

So humble?

Qiao Xi continued to play hard: "What if I always—"

"Alright, stop talking, I get your point, Teacher Qiao is shy, then I’ll just chase you directly."

His voice was annoyingly gentle, yet it carried his assertiveness.

Qiao Xi: "..."

He had taken all the words right out of her mouth.

She looked at him with a mixture of amusement and annoyance: "Shen Dang, you haven’t forgotten that we’re divorced now, right?"

Shen Dang slightly narrowed his eyes: "I didn’t want to get a divorce at that time."

Qiao Xi looked at him, puzzled.

"But I was afraid you’d mind, so I went through with it. It’s no big deal, I can just pursue you again, let go of the past and start anew."

His eyes deepened as he gave her a handsome smile: "Consider it giving each other a second chance."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Imagine a man so devastatingly handsome in a suit and tie confessing to you, not to mention his face, his intense pheromones alone could make anyone fall for him.

Even the Goddess of Divine Beauty couldn’t resist Boss Shen’s charm.

Qiao Xi admitted to herself that at this moment, she was truly moved.

But it seemed the flutter in her heart had been there for some time.

It was just more apparent tonight.

However, upon hearing his words, Qiao Xi was still stunned: "So, have you been feeling like this since back then...?"

Shen Dang reached out and ruffled her hair a bit: "Maybe even earlier than that."

A thought crossed Qiao Xi’s mind, but her gaze was skeptical.

Earlier than that, how much earlier?

Watching her bewildered expression, Shen Dang chuckled softly: "And you? Have you considered me a bit?"

His lips glowed a healthy hue of red; he had just hooked his lip seductively.

Qiao Xi’s gaze flickered across his lips and met his eyes: "No, how could I possibly entertain thoughts of you, don’t be ridiculous."

Her voice rose in volume, sounding grandiose, but the grander she sounded, the more she seemed insincere.

Shen Dang laughed quietly, flicking her forehead gently: "Can’t you be a little more honest?"

Qiao Xi covered her head, glaring fiercely at him: "You’re just talking nonsense!"

"Didn’t you feel anything when I kissed you before?"

Such a shameless thing for him to say!

Qiao Xi straightened her demeanor, feigning calmness: "When was that?"

"You forgot?" Shen Dang raised his eyebrows in challenge.

How could she forget? She wasn’t the one who was drunk; he should be the one who was drunk, right?

At that thought, Qiao Xi suddenly realized that Dog Shen, this despicable man, remembered kissing her all along and had been playing dumb for so long.

"... Shen Dang, you’re absolutely—"

Is he even human?

Oh, he’s not human; he’s Dog Shen!

Shen Dang looked at her indignant expression and smiled with curved eyes: "Seems like you didn’t forget either."

Qiao Xi turned to leave, but Shen Dang still had a hold of her wrist, and she got pulled back in as she walked out.

Inertia sent Qiao Xi stumbling into his arms.

A soft, muted laugh fell from above her head: "You’re not so desperate to throw yourself into my arms, are you?"

Qiao Xi’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.

What nonsense he was spouting, it was he who pulled her in.

"Of course, if you throw yourself at me, I wouldn’t reject you," he added lazily, still smiling.

Qiao Xi looked disgusted: "You’re so greasy, Shen Dang."

How could he say such a thing?

"I’m greasy?"

Boss Shen never thought the word ’greasy’ would one day be used to describe him.

"Yes, let go. I haven’t agreed to let you chase me yet. Being so presumptuous now, I need to consider this thoroughly."

As her words ended, Shen Dang immediately let go of her hand.

Qiao Xi: "..."

This man really was...

Qiao Xi, feeling both irked and amused, gave Shen Dang a bland look before turning back to her bedroom.

Tonight was truly absurd.

Shen Dang watched the door slam shut in front of him, unable to suppress a laugh.

There was joy in his eyes, lighting up his whole being, making it difficult to look away.

Shen Dang settled back on the couch and ordered another hotpot.

She hadn’t had her fill, so he would feed her a bit more.

Soon, there was a knock at the door.

Shen Dang was thinking that the hotpot delivery was awfully fast when he opened the door and saw Su Tutu standing there, shifty-eyed.

He raised his eyebrow: "What do you want?"

Su Tutu was taken aback: "Why are you answering the door? Where’s Xixi?"

"She’s probably in the room taking a shower."

Oh no!

Su Tutu started to step back: "If that’s the case, I’m intruding. But Boss Shen, if you’ll allow me to say one more thing."

Shen Dang lazily confirmed: "Hmm?"

"If you have any thoughts about my sister, you better make them clear sooner. There are a lot of people in the crew who are eyeing Xixi."

Shen Dang hooked his lips, his smile bearing a hint of triumph: "You don’t need to tell me."

Though his heart had been aflutter all evening, things had turned out much better than he expected.

Su Tutu, keen-eyed, immediately caught on: "Don’t tell me that you came here tonight just for..."

Shen Dang didn’t want her to pry and coldly interrupted: "Anything else?"

"Goodbye!"

Shen Dang closed the door.

Not long after, the delivery person with the hotpot arrived.

After setting things up on the table, Shen Dang knocked on Qiao Xi’s door.

"What is it?"

Her muffled voice came through.

"Come out for hotpot."

Qiao Xi opened the door: "You actually bought hotpot?"

Shen Dang stepped aside, letting Qiao Xi see the spread on the table for herself.

He tilted his chin up: "Come out and eat."

Qiao Xi refused: "I don’t want to eat anymore, I just took a shower."

Shen Dang’s eyes swept over her, noting she indeed changed clothes: "Aren’t you hungry after a shower?"
