Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Stay with Me, I Don’t Want to Be Alone
Shen Dang let go of Assistant Gao’s hand, resisting the waves of heat coursing through his body as he wobbled toward Qiao Xi, "Xixi, stay with me. I don’t want to be alone, okay? Stay with me."
Qiao Xi’s gaze deepened as she looked at him, involuntarily shifting from his face to his collar.
The remnant lipstick mark made her uncomfortable.
Qiao Xi didn’t speak for a moment, and seeing this, Assistant Gao said, "Madam, you should stay with President Shen."
Assistant Gao didn’t understand what issue the couple was having now, couldn’t they see what was urgent?
Look how uncomfortable their boss was now.
Qiao Xi watched Shen Dang’s nervous demeanor and sighed helplessly, "Let’s go then."
"Okay."
Qiao Xi followed Shen Dang to the hospital room. Along the way, his gaze never left her.
The doctor routine administered an injection to Shen Dang.
This time, Qiao Xi stayed far from Shen Dang, not even approaching him as he was getting the injection.
After the injection, Shen Dang’s tense body finally relaxed, falling back onto the hospital bed as if it had lost all its tension points.
An air of sickly paleness emanated from his handsome face.
"Xixi..."
"Are you hungry?"
Qiao Xi interrupted him.
She sat on the couch, her back to the light, so Shen Dang could not see her face clearly, only discerning the coolness in her voice.
Seeing that Shen Dang didn’t respond, Qiao Xi added, "I’ll go buy some food. You should eat something too."
"Madam, please sit. I’ll go," Assistant Gao said.
"It’s alright, you take care of Shen Dang. I’ll be right back, I know what he likes to eat."
Qiao Xi didn’t look at Shen Dang again and stood up and left the hospital room.
Shen Dang watched her leave, only withdrawing his gaze when her figure disappeared at the door.
Qiao Xi went to a restaurant to get takeout, then hired a delivery service to take the food to the hospital, while she returned to Yingyue Bay alone.
She thought she needed to reflect on her relationship with Shen Dang properly.
They weren’t even lovers yet, perhaps it was time to cut their losses, that would be best for both of them.
When Shen Dang saw the delivery person enter the room, his face immediately darkened.
The delivery person fixed their gaze on Shen Dang, "Mr. Shen, right? Miss Qiao asked me to bring these to you. Please sign for them."
"Did she say anything else?"
The delivery person was puzzled, "... just to bring these to Mr. Shen’s room."
Assistant Gao, "Give me the items, thank you."
After receiving the items, Assistant Gao dared not look at his boss’s face.
He felt the surrounding air cool down, even the Madam really, actually deceived President Shen.
Shen Dang sneered, "I’m discharging now."
Assistant Gao urged in haste, "That’s not okay, President Shen. You should rest a bit more."
Shen Dang was already pale, now his face looked even worse.
Nobody could question Boss Shen’s decisions.
Reluctantly, Assistant Gao escorted Shen Dang back to Yingyue Bay.
The moment Shen Dang pushed the door open, he noticed several pairs of Qiao Xi’s shoes missing from the entrance.
Shen Dang walked upstairs, pushed open Qiao Xi’s room door, and her belongings were no longer there.
As if erased, it was spotlessly clean.
Shen Dang’s expression changed dramatically as he walked downstairs while dialing Qiao Xi’s number.
After a series of long "beep" sounds, the phone finally connected.
"Qiao Xi," Shen Dang’s voice, still weak, "did you move out?"
"Yep, I went back to my own place."
Qiao Xi’s calm voice came through.
Shen Dang curled his mouth, as if laughing, but his face lacked any trace of a smile, "Isn’t Yingyue Bay your home?"
He stood in the living room, surrounded by bright light. Even the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and hitting him could not dispel the cold solitude engulfing him.
Assistant Gao watched his colorless face and didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
Qiao Xi’s eyes flickered, and after a while, she still spoke calmly, "Talking about this is meaningless, Shen Dang, let’s both calm down first."
"Do you mean to calm down and then tell me you hope we can go back to the start?" Shen Dang laughed mockingly.
"Actually, when you think about it, we aren’t even in a romantic relationship. You and Chu Wan..." Qiao Xi’s voice choked up, she tried to remain calm, "Whatever happened between you and Chu Wan is none of my business, but I’m definitely uncomfortable about it, so I need some time to think about how I should interact with you."
Shen Dang’s face turned even colder upon hearing these words.
Qiao Xi continued orderly, "You should explain things to Old Master Shen about our situation. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."
As the busy tone sounded in his ear, Shen Dang’s fingers gripping the phone gradually turned white.
Assistant Gao carefully spoke, "President Shen, after all, the Madam bought this for you. You should eat something."
Shen Dang covered his face, "You go back first."
"Yes, but remember to eat."
Shen Dang had no appetite at all.
He leaned on the couch and made a call to Old Master Shen.
Old Master Shen spoke first, his voice grave, "When did you and Xixi divorce?"
Shen Dang’s expression was indifferent, his voice lazy, "At the end of last year, the day she went to the Shen Family to eat before joining the production crew."
After a long silence, Old Master Shen finally sighed, "Was I wrong to have let Qiao Zhenbin come to me, asking you two to get married?"
"Grandfather, it’s meaningless to talk about this now. We did this to avoid worrying you. But what I can assure you of is my feelings for Qiao Xi, so rest assured, she’ll still be your granddaughter-in-law."
Old Master Shen felt a faint joy at these words but considering the current situation, he wasn’t that happy.
He snorted disdainfully, "Just because you say Xixi is my granddaughter-in-law, she becomes one? Are you dreaming?"
It wasn’t that Old Master Shen doubted Shen Dang’s ability; he knew Qiao Xi’s temperament, seemingly gentle but tough and not easily subdued.
She had no tolerance for deceit.
Yet she was very filial, always thinking of others at her own expense.
Old Master Shen felt sorry for her.
Shen Dang: "..."
Boss Shen hadn’t won her back yet, and she had already left, now even his grandfather was mocking him. His handsome face turned even darker.
He almost wanted to hang up right there.
"Your grandmother today..."
Shen Dang’s gaze remained deep, "Up to you, I won’t come to the Shen Family anymore."
"What are you saying!" Old Master Shen’s voice was commanding without anger, followed by a sudden bout of coughing.
Shen Dang heard the butler soothing nearby.
"I’ve already moved your grandmother to another building, such things will never happen again... Talk to Xixi properly, I won’t interfere with your divorce, but she’s definitely upset about today’s events."
Old Master Shen continued softer, "If you can’t win her back, then don’t come back to the Shen Family."
Old Master Shen hung up immediately after speaking.
Shen Dang: "..."
Calling his grandfather the old master of swift changes wasn’t wrong.
Had he just gotten angry over this matter, and now he was telling him not to come back?
Shen Dang’s thoughts shifted to Qiao Xi, and suddenly a wave of helplessness surged within him.
What should he do?
