Chapter 188: Chapter 188 But I Like You, I Can’t Just Give You Away to Someone Else

He’s like a male enchantment!

Using his face to parade around town.

Shen Dang circled around the front of the car, got into the driver’s seat, and then quickly drove off, as if fearing Chen Jiayan would catch up.

The lingering touch of his palm seemed to still be on her head; Qiao Xi felt her face grow warm, and her expression somewhat unnatural.

Boss Shen was indeed becoming cheekier.

She sighed softly and sent Chen Jiayan a message.

Shen Dang’s jealous tone echoed inside the car, "What did you talk about during that long dinner?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the message Chen Jiayan sent back, then said, "Ah, actually, we didn’t talk much."

Shen Dang scoffed, "Do you think I believe that?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and calmly said, "There is indeed one thing."

"Does it concern me?"

It had to be said, Boss Shen guessed correctly.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes, about you, and also about me."

Boss Shen continued to guess, his voice laced with a lazy tone, "Is it about us remarrying?"

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him, "How could that be possible!"

What was he even saying, remarrying, when he hadn’t even wooed her yet?

Boss Shen was thinking too far ahead.

Shen Dang was not only disappointed but also regretful, his interest waning, he asked, "Then what is it?"

Qiao Xi lifted her eyelids to look at him, "That thing, have you evaluated the market value of Qiao Group?"

Shen Dang seemed to smile, his manner more nonchalant, "Mhm, when we have time, we could sign the share transfer document."

Qiao Xi leaned back into her seat, her voice light, "Boss Shen, I can’t sell the Qiao Group shares to you anymore."

Shen Dang squinted his profound eyes, "So you discussed this outcome all night?"

Qiao Xi asked him, "You really want to sign me to GK, right?"

Shen Dang countered half-heartedly, "Am I supposed to let you sign with Shengshi and give you away to someone else?"

How could he possibly do such a thing now?

Was he not trying to woo his wife?

Qiao Xi coughed, "Brother Chao’s terms must be good too."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue in displeasure, "Mine aren’t bad either."

Qiao Xi smiled with a curved eye, her eyes flirtatious, "So I’m quite valuable, right?"

Shen Dang turned to look at her; right then the light ahead turned red, and he stopped the car.

He slightly leaned toward Qiao Xi, resting his elbow on the armrest, his gaze steadily on her face.

Qiao Xi smelled the faint, subtle scent of ebony and felt a ripple from the proximity.

Her back pressed against the seat, her phoenix eyes carried a hint of caution, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

A laugh echoed from Shen Dang’s lips, his voice deep and his eyes earnest, his tone straightforward, "Teacher Qiao is definitely valuable, just push a bit harder and you’ll be top-tier, your star potential is limitless."

"Is Boss Shen complimenting me?"

Though she asked, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her lips.

Being acknowledged was a joyful thing, wasn’t it?

It proved that all her efforts were worth it.

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t it obvious?"

Qiao Xi looked at him, "Since Boss Shen has so much confidence in me, then you must definitely want to sign me."

Shen Dang, "...not exactly definite, but I like you, I can’t just let you go to someone else."

The words ’I like you’ came out so naturally.

Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat; it had been almost a month since he said he wanted to pursue her.

This was probably the first time he’d so straightforwardly said something like he liked her.

Honestly, such a straightforward expression could indeed quicken the heartbeat and bring joy.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, restraining the smile that threatened to show.

"Since you want to sign me so badly, then I’ll use my shares in Qiao Group to exchange for shares in your GK Entertainment, a win-win cooperation, right?"

Qiao Xi tilted her head.

Shen Dang chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling, "So, this was your idea tonight? This wasn’t your idea."

Qiao Xi’s gaze flickered.

She certainly hadn’t thought about this before because she didn’t expect Shen Dang to have such feelings for her one day.

"The light’s green," Qiao Xi reminded him.

Shen Dang drove off.

Seeing his ambiguous attitude, Qiao Xi continued, "If you’re unwilling, I’ll sell my shares to someone else and use that money to open a studio. I don’t necessarily have to exchange shares with you or sell them to you. There are plenty of paths, the one most suitable for myself is the most important."

Boss Shen was a businessman, after all. He had said before, Qiao Xi had thought about him not agreeing, and she naturally still had options.

Shen Dang chuckled dryly, his tone casual, "First, tell me how many shares of Qiao Group you hold."

"Forty-five percent."

"Not bad, quite a lot indeed."

Chen Jiayan was indeed impressive.

Since Shen Dang had announced his intent to acquire Qiao Group, several old shareholders of Qiao Group had proactively approached him to sell their shares.

After all, everyone knew Qiao Group was on its last legs; opposing Shen Dang now brought no benefits.

Plus, those shareholders had other businesses, not just Qiao Group.

Now, it was very advantageous for their businesses to show Shen Dang some courtesy.

Smart people knew what to do.

Only Qiao Zhenbin was still living in a fantasy.

"Is GK Entertainment currently under IDC Capital or is it independent?" Qiao Xi asked.

"It’s personally mine, unrelated to IDC Capital."

IDC Capital was not solely Shen Dang’s.

He was the major boss but also had two partners.

They were currently abroad managing other businesses.

"Then, Boss Shen, would you consider my proposal?" Qiao Xi moved closer, the corners of her eyes brimming with a smile.

The aloof, distant air around her all but converged, giving her an approachable and docile aura.

Shen Dang glanced at her as the street light outside the car window slid into the compartment, he saw a glimmer in the depths of her eyes.

Eyes sparkling, radiant as she looked around.

Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed up and down.

"Let’s talk when we get back. Right now, stay a bit away from me, don’t use that ethereal face to tempt me."

Shen Dang shifted his gaze, looking forward, his demeanor cold and controlled.

"..."

Tempting?

Qiao Xi paused and then snapped, "What are you even saying? When have I ever tempted you?"

Shen Dang didn’t glance aside, "Just now, with that face."

He spoke with rightful indignation.

Qiao Xi speechless, "Is it your thoughts that are improper?"

"Do you want me to be Liu Xiahui?"

The topic was clearly improper.

Qiao Xi abruptly ended their conversation, "Shut up, just drive properly. Don’t get distracted."

"...Okay then."

They returned to Yingyue Bay.

Though the weather was no longer very cold, one still had to wear a warm coat at night, or it would get chilly.

Shen Dang entered the house, took off his coat, and hung it up properly, then beckoned to Qiao Xi, "Come here."
