My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 186: Shen Dang, You’re Putting Some Pressure on Me

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Shen Dang, You’re Putting Some Pressure on Me

Shen Dang tilted his head, a casual yet confident smile on his face, "Can’t I? The conditions I’m offering you are guaranteed to be better than Sheng Chao’s. Think about it?"

Qiao Xi looked at the man sitting leisurely and chuckled lightly, "You’re quite confident, aren’t you?"

Shen Dang asked her lazily, "I’m confident about you. Don’t you have confidence in yourself?"

As the only ’Goddess of Divine Beauty’ on the internet, could she say she wasn’t confident about herself?

Clearly, she couldn’t.

She was a career woman, after all.

Now, Qiao Xi faced two choices.

One was Shengshi, and the other was GK, two entertainment companies that could be said to be rivals in this circle.

Qiao Xi had previously chosen Shengshi, but Shen Dang’s attitude made her hesitate.

With the current relationship between her and Shen Dang, it indeed put her in a difficult spot.

Qiao Xi could only say, "I need to discuss it with my agent."

Shen Dang tapped his chin carelessly with his finger, "Smart people know how to choose."

His tone was noncommittal.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi gave a dry laugh. If she chose Shengshi, would that mean she wasn’t smart?

Damn man!

Back at Yingyue Bay, just as Qiao Xi was about to contact Wang Li, Wang Li called her.

Qiao Xi picked up quickly, "Sister Li."

"Bring the contract to Le Entertainment tomorrow. Do you need me to pick you up?" Wang Li asked straight away.

"No need, Shen Dang might drive me there."

Wang Li clicked her tongue, sensing that there was more than meets the eye between the two of them, and she asked curiously, "What’s the situation between you two now—"

"He’s pursuing me."

"Cough cough, cough..." Wang Li choked on her saliva, "What exactly are you two playing at?"

Getting married and divorced like it was nothing, and now a chase? If they knew it would come to this, why did it all start?

Qiao Xi said calmly, "We’re divorced now. Isn’t it normal for him to pursue me?"

Wang Li was silent for a moment, "All I can say is that what’s abnormal for others seems normal for you two."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Wang Li became serious, "Okay, let’s talk business. Are you planning on signing with Shengshi or GK after the contract termination? If you sign with GK, you’ll be like Tutu, under your own husband’s entertainment company, with resources leaning towards you, and you could have a fairytale love story. That sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?"

Qiao Xi shattered her illusion, "Indeed, it sounds wonderful, but my relationship with Shen Dang isn’t like Tutu and Sheng Chao’s."

Wang Li said, "You’ll eventually develop that kind of relationship."

After all, Boss Shen had even started pursuing her.

Wasn’t that a good development?

Wang Li was truly not worried that Shen Dang couldn’t win over Qiao Xi. If Qiao Xi didn’t have any feelings for him, she wouldn’t let him pursue her.

"But right now, I really don’t know which to choose."

Qiao Xi was somewhat entangled and troubled.

After all, she was still pondering over her relationship with Shen Dang.

Wang Li was exasperated, "Miss, you’ve been dragging your feet for a long time. Haven’t you decided yet? Then my advice is for you to sign with GK."

"We’ll see after the termination. There’s no rush."

"...Alright then."

She was like an emperor who wasn’t in a hurry, while the eunuchs were.

Just after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Xi went to open it.

Shen Dang stood outside without coming in, "I’ll take you to Tan Garden for dinner tonight. If you’re tired, rest for a while first."

"That might not work tonight."

Shen Dang frowned at her, "What do you mean it won’t work? Do you have other plans?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes, I’m meeting Brother Jiayuan tonight. We have a dinner appointment."

Shen Dang squinted his eyes, his voice indifferent, "I see. Then I’ll go with you."

Qiao Xi confused, "What for?"

Shen Dang, with a face of sheer nonchalance, "I don’t trust you going alone."

His words only added to Qiao Xi’s confusion, "... He’s my brother. What’s not to trust?"

Shen Dang was disgruntled, "What kind of brother is he? He’s not even your blood relative."

Qiao Xi said coolly, "Then what about my half-sibling sister? Is she close to me?"

Shen Dang: "..."

Very well, that remark successfully left Boss Shen speechless.

"And besides, we’re currently in a pursuer and pursued relationship. Meeting someone else doesn’t interfere with anything, does it?"

Shen Dang’s expression cooled slightly, but he gave ground, "Then I’ll take you there, you surely won’t refuse me now, will you?"

After what she had said, it was indeed hard for Qiao Xi to refuse; she nodded slightly, "Okay, you can take me."

"Good."

Shen Dang ruffled Qiao Xi’s hair.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Chen Jiayan had arranged to meet for dinner at a private kitchen restaurant.

Shen Dang dropped Qiao Xi off at the entrance of the restaurant and stepped aside slightly, "Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."

Qiao Xi hesitated, looking up at him, "You can go have something to eat first. I don’t know how long I’ll be; don’t wait here."

"It’s okay."

Shen Dang clearly didn’t mind.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but lick her lips, speaking slowly, "Shen Dang, this is giving me a bit of pressure."

Shen Dang’s brow knit almost imperceptibly, his voice somewhat heavy, "What pressure?"

Qiao Xi explained, "You’re pursuing me, but we are both free. You really don’t need to do this."

Him waiting here unknowingly for how long, what did that mean? Had he ever done that before?

Regardless, Qiao Xi hoped that he could maintain his proud and unyielding attitude rather than compromising for her.

Besides, it was completely unnecessary.

Qiao Xi wasn’t some naive girl who would be moved by such gestures.

"I think you’re right," Shen Dang looked at her and suddenly nodded.

Then, Qiao Xi saw Shen Dang unbuckle his seatbelt, get out of the car, and come around to open her door.

"Get out."

Qiao Xi looked outside, "What are you doing?"

"I’m not waiting here. I’ll go inside and wait for you. You eat with him, I’ll eat by myself. We won’t interfere with each other."

Boss Shen spoke as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

"..."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

"Get out," Shen Dang tapped on the window.

Reluctantly, Qiao Xi got out of the car, following Shen Dang inside.

Qiao Xi saw Chen Jiayan waving at her; she whispered to Shen Dang before walking towards him.

Shen Dang, on the other hand, took a seat on the other side, near the window. He could still glimpse Qiao Xi and Chen Jiayan, seated at opposite ends through the gap in the screen.

Chen Jiayan had noticed them outside earlier.

He looked up, "Why is he here too?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes conveyed helplessness, "Hmm, he insisted on coming. We don’t need to mind him."

Chen Jiayan detected a hint of intimacy in her words and paused, "You and him...?"

Qiao Xi didn’t dodge the question, "He is currently pursuing me."

"That’s quite good," Chen Jiayan was taken aback, then quickly nodded, "Have you finished filming?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "Not yet. After sorting out things here, I need to go back and continue shooting. What’s going on with Qiao’s now?"

Chen Jiayan, "It’s done. The shares we hold are enough to force Qiao Zhenbin to step down. Xixi, what do you plan to do?"
