My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 194: Can I Kiss You?

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Can I Kiss You?

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "I don’t know which flight you booked, but you can’t expect me to go back separately from you, right?"

"..."

Qiao Xi took his phone from him.

Shen Dang then sat down beside her.

The sofa dipped next to her, and Qiao Xi could smell the faint scent of alcohol emanating from him.

Qiao Xi quickly purchased his ticket and directly stuffed the phone into his palm, "It’s done."

Shen Dang’s hand brushed hers as he grabbed the phone.

Although it was just a brief touch, it felt as if a jolt of electricity had passed between them.

The night was too quiet, and in this space, it seemed as if something was surging between the two.

"Don’t sit here too long. Go take a shower and get some sleep. I’m going to rest first."

Qiao Xi snapped out of it and was about to leave when Shen Dang suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Without explanation, he pulled her down to sit, "What’s the rush, let’s talk."

Qiao Xi glanced at him and quickly averted her gaze, "Talk about what?"

His dark eyes were deep, immediately drawing one’s attention, always radiating an inscrutable emotion.

Especially tonight, they seemed to hide an indissoluble light.

Shen Dang held onto her hand, his voice lazy, made even more magnetic by the alcohol in his throat.

He said, "Just ’Whatever.’"

Qiao Xi: "...You’re so boring."

Shen Dang’s tone was composed but carried an air of entitlement, "That’s why I want you to talk to me."

Qiao Xi looked at him oddly, and pulled her hand away, "You’re not drunk again, are you?"

Shen Dang smiled at her, "A bit of alcohol can’t possibly get me drunk."

Qiao Xi: "..."

I fell for that lie before.

Pah!

"Qiao Xi."

Qiao Xi subconsciously responded, "Hmm?"

Shen Dang rarely called her by her full name so seriously.

The simple syllables, spoken from his lips, inexplicably took on a passionate tone.

Seeing Shen Dang staring intently at her, Qiao Xi felt panicked and once again averted her gaze out of fear.

Her voice was tense, "If you have something to say, say it."

"Let’s just tell Grandpa straight up when we get home. I want to pursue you openly. As for the media, you’re now a major shareholder of GK; you don’t have to worry about scandals anymore. Can we go public?"

He wanted to stand beside her openly, not sneaking around. This wasn’t Boss Shen’s style and felt too oppressive.

Qiao Xi didn’t rely on popularity to make a living; she only feared negative public opinion. But what’s there to fear as a major shareholder of a big entertainment company?

She had the power.

She could also have some sway with GK.

From getting her to cancel the contract with Le Entertainment to becoming a shareholder at GK, Shen Dang never fought a battle he wasn’t sure of winning.

Shen Dang’s eyes were pitch black, staring at her so directly that it was overwhelming.

He looked gentle at the moment but also exuded a forcefulness.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Are you sure Grandpa won’t be angry after he finds out? We’ve deceived him for so long."

"Grandpa’s wish is for us to be together. If we’re honest with him, he will accept it."

Qiao Xi pondered for a while, "...Let me think about it."

Qiao Xi felt things were fine the way they were, but on second thought, it seemed unfair to Shen Dang.

And she couldn’t keep hiding their relationship forever.

If they were to date, the fact that they were once married would surely come up.

Qiao Xi didn’t want to be trembling with fear over a romance.

But Qiao Xi also felt a sense of unease in her heart.

It was the anxiousness that came with the unknown.

Every event carried a potential outcome.

She didn’t know if the result she wanted would be at odds with reality.

But nonetheless, Shen Dang took her not immediately refusing as an unexpected joy.

He pulled her hand toward him, "Then I’ll take that as a yes."

Qiao Xi laughed in exasperation, "Aren’t you overstepping? I said I needed to think about it; I didn’t agree at all."

Boss Shen’s gaze clung to Qiao Xi’s face, sticky as if spun with silk, "Hmm, then I’ll make you agree."

Qiao Xi: "..."

"Shen Dang, you’re cheating."

"Yes."

"You’re shameless!"

Shen Dang’s eyes deepened, "Is this being shameless?"

Qiao Xi tilted her chin up, slightly haughty, "Isn’t it?"

"Can I kiss you?"

Shen Dang suddenly asked.

Qiao Xi saw his Adam’s apple bob up and down.

A rush of palpitations flooded over her.

Before Qiao Xi could react, she heard Shen Dang’s husky voice again, "If you don’t say anything, that means you agree."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Is that how it works?

Shen Dang leaned in and kissed her.

He was cautious at first, but as Qiao Xi didn’t resist, he deepened the kiss gradually.

The night was too still.

In the expansive living room, it seemed their breathing was the only sound, colliding like sparks, crackling in the air.

Qiao Xi’s head was filled with fireworks.

Although they had kissed a few times before, those were moments when she was tipsy and not entirely clear-headed.

But tonight, after her bath with not a hint of alcohol, her head suddenly spun, and she found it hard to breathe.

Her heart pounded like a drum.

Intensely vibrant.

She was tense, nervous.

Shen Dang noticed she was holding her breath, drew back from her lips, and couldn’t help but laugh softly, "Don’t you know how to breathe?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi’s face turned a deep shade of red.

Shen Dang moved in for another attempt, "If you don’t know how, I’ll teach you."

"???"

Qiao Xi thought he was shameless!

Shen Dang embraced her waist and pressed her down onto the sofa, and as he gazed at her face, he kissed her again—

Looking would never be enough; the anticipation couldn’t quench the thirst. He had to pick the fruit to savor its fragrance.

The alcohol he drank tonight seemed to turn into an aphrodisiac.

Food and sex - mutual attraction, a bit of flirtation was all it took to light the fire.

Qiao Xi felt completely dizzy, as if her head was heavy, and even the surrounding air became scorching.

Shen Dang’s breathing was heavy.

They kissed passionately on the sofa.

Shen Dang’s hand couldn’t help but slide under her clothing.

Skin touched skin, sparking shudders.

His warm palm was like burning coal against her skin, and Qiao Xi suddenly came to her senses, placing her hand on top of his through the fabric of her clothes.

"No!"

Qiao Xi looked flustered, her eyes glistening, her face flushed with a look of arousal.

She and Shen Dang had almost just—

At that moment, they were as close as a thin sheet of paper apart.

Shen Dang seemed to come to his senses as well. He lowered his head, looking uncomfortable as he pressed his forehead against her neck.

He took several deep breaths.

Qiao Xi felt like the heat would scald her; she dared not move.

Shen Dang stayed still for a moment, and Qiao Xi didn’t rush him.

After a while, Shen Dang rose from her.

His eyes were droopy, "Sorry."
