Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Shen Dang, You Are Really Greasy Now

"At the Kill-green banquet."

"I’ll wait for you at the hotel."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi had only drunk a few glasses and wasn’t tipsy, just feeling a bit light on her feet—and not uncomfortable.

She was certain she hadn’t misheard, but still was inevitably startled by his words, "Are you serious?"

Shen Dang chuckled, "Very serious. Where are you? I’ll pick you up."

"No way! You can’t let the crew find out about you!"

Qiao Xi felt lucky she hadn’t drunk too much, otherwise Shen Dang’s appearance would have blown her cover.

Shen Dang: "..."

Boss Shen still hadn’t been revealed.

She said this without any hesitation, so as soon as the words came out, both sides tacitly fell silent.

Qiao Xi scratched her ear, taking the initiative to propose, "Well then, you come over here, and I’ll find you—as long as nobody sees."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi gave him an address.

Boss Shen, who still wasn’t ready to be brought into the light, felt a bit of displeasure dissolve.

"Call me when I arrive. Don’t come down to wait for me," Shen Dang instructed.

"Alright."

Qiao Xi returned to the private room.

Su Tutu asked with a smile, "Did your husband call?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yes."

Sheng Chao made a noise: "Tsk."

Qiao Xi immediately turned to look at Sheng Chao, "Brother Chao, why the tsk? You’re here at the Kill-green banquet keeping Tutu company."

He was the only family member present at the banquet.

"How about we invite your husband over for the meal?" Sheng Chao suggested.

Sheng Chao had originally asked Shen Dang to come with him, but Shen Dang had been unable to free himself up until now.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Is he doing this on purpose?

"That’s right. We’ve wrapped up the whole movie and yet we still don’t know who your husband is—that’s not cool," said Mo Qing.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly: "The time isn’t right yet."

Mo Qing said, "It could be some big shot."

Those who knew the truth: "..."

You really did hit the nail on the head.

Qiao Xi received another call from Shen Dang and then went downstairs to meet him.

As soon as Qiao Xi got into the car, Shen Dang smelled the faint aroma of alcohol on her, mingled with her own light fragrance.

It wasn’t an unpleasant smell, but rather a tempting scent.

Shen Dang leaned in close, "Have you been drinking?"

His dark eyes landed on Qiao Xi’s face, now pale with a flush of red, and after a glance, he found it difficult to look away.

She truly was a rare beauty, a real feast for the eyes.

It made his heart itch a little.

Qiao Xi gave a nod, a relaxed smile on her face, "I drank a little out of happiness."

That celestial face held a hint of seductive charm, causing those who looked at her to almost lose control of their thoughts.

He really wanted to kiss her.

Shen Dang’s gaze seemed fixed on her face, "You know your alcohol tolerance is poor. What if something happened?"

Shen Dang was indeed the person who knew her tolerance for liquor best.

"Tutu and Brother Chao were there, that’s why I drank," Qiao Xi had her limits.

Shen Dang: "..."

His eyes were so intense and serious that Qiao Xi averted her gaze before asking him, "Why did you come at this time? I’m going back to Hai City tomorrow."

Shen Dang responded straightforwardly, "I came now because I knew you were going back tomorrow—to take you home."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Home?

Those three words were indeed warming.

Her home was one where she lived alone.

Nobody had ever said they would take her home—Boss Shen was the first.

Qiao Xi had been in Jiang City shooting since she terminated her contract with Le Entertainment and went back to Hai City last time.

Shen Dang had also been busy with company matters; the two of them actually hadn’t seen each other for a while.

They only kept in touch via mobile phones.

Shen Dang said he was pursuing her, but he was also busy with his work, and so was Qiao Xi.

They were adults, after all, and being in love wasn’t their top priority.

Adults have many things that are more important than romance.

Qiao Xi didn’t feel that keeping in touch over the phone was a bad thing. Honestly, she enjoyed it, but Shen Dang’s arrival in Jiang City at this time surprised her, though she was also a bit happy, of course.

It was a joy that radiated from within, softening her features with tenderness.

Qiao Xi turned her gaze back to his face, "Have you had dinner yet, coming here at this hour?"

Shen Dang sounded a little aggrieved, "Of course not... I haven’t eaten yet. I thought I was going to your Kill-green banquet."

Qiao Xi smiled at him.

That clearly wasn’t possible.

Boss Shen wasn’t ready to step into the limelight yet.

A bit guilty and not forgetting to please him, Qiao Xi offered, "How about I treat you to dinner then?"

Shen Dang replied casually, "Let’s takeout and go back to the hotel to eat."

"That’s fine, whatever makes you happy."

Shen Dang looked at her, his dark eyes seemingly revealing a deeper meaning, "I’d like to be happier, is that okay?"

Qiao Xi didn’t catch his insinuation, "What do you mean?"

Shen Dang’s eyes sparkled with amusement, "Do I get a little reward for bringing you home?"

Qiao Xi looked at him leisurely, "So what would you like?"

Shen Dang tapped his own cheek, then leaned toward her, "How about a kiss from you?"

Qiao Xi stared at the handsome face approaching and froze for several seconds, "Shen Dang, you’re being really greasy right now."

Shen Dang: "..."

Shen Dang drove to a restaurant to get takeout and ordered an extra bottle of red wine before returning to the hotel room with Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi watched as Shen Dang methodically laid out the food on the dining table.

"You eat. I’m going to take a shower."

"Aren’t you going to keep me company?"

Boss Shen immediately looked at her, his expression one of vulnerability, as if he needed company.

Qiao Xi found it amusing, "You’re a grown man and still need someone to keep you company, eat at your own pace."

Qiao Xi said this as she walked into the bedroom.

Shen Dang clicked his tongue and began to eat and drink in sullen solitude.

After her shower, Qiao Xi returned to the living room and saw that Shen Dang had finished an entire bottle of red wine by himself.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Could it be that he’s up to some mischief?

Seeing Qiao Xi’s figure, Shen Dang beckoned her over, "Come here."

Qiao Xi’s feet felt glued to the floor, and she didn’t move.

What was the meaning of him drinking so much wine alone?

Qiao Xi involuntarily thought of the previous times Shen Dang drank then—

Danger!

That word was etched into Qiao Xi’s mind.

Qiao Xi took a seat on the sofa, urging him, "Hurry up and take a shower after you finish eating."

"How can I take a shower so soon after eating?"

Qiao Xi awkwardly changed the subject, "Have you booked your ticket back for tomorrow?"

"No, I didn’t know what time yours was. I’ll go with you."

"I didn’t know you were coming over. Tutu and the others all booked tickets for tomorrow afternoon."

They had it all planned to be back in Hai City in time for dinner and wouldn’t have to rush to the airport the next morning.

Shen Dang stood up and walked over to her, "Then book one for me."

A dark shadow leaned over her, blocking much of the light, and Shen Dang pulled out his phone and handed it to Qiao Xi.

Even though he was trying to be less imposing, Qiao Xi still felt a kind of pressure from the person in front of her.

Qiao Xi looked at the black phone handed to her and eyed him coldly, "Can’t you book it yourself?"
