Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Only My Wife Can Boss Me Around

It was like listening to him spout a bunch of nonsense.

...

A few days later.

Qiao Xi took it upon herself to contact Shen Dang the night before she was scheduled to run a campaign in South City.

[Qiao Xi: I’m going to South City tomorrow. Do you have time to take me to the airport?]

After sending the message, Qiao Xi felt somewhat nervous as she looked at her chat box with Shen Dang.

She stared at the screen that displayed "The other person is typing" for a while before Shen Dang’s message appeared.

[Boss Shen: Free.]

Why did it take so long to send two words?

[Qiao Xi: Will it not disrupt your schedule?]

[Boss Shen: Not at all. I happen to be traveling to South City on business as well.]

Qiao Xi: "..."

That was a bit too coincidental.

[Boss Shen: What a coincidence indeed, Teacher Qiao, please remember to book a ticket for me, thanks.]

Could she even refuse?

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and then saw another message from Shen Dang: [See you tomorrow.]

Qiao Xi went ahead and purchased an additional ticket on the ticketing app.

Shen Dang, as if timing it perfectly, messaged: [How much is the ticket? I’ll transfer the money to you.]

[Qiao Xi: It’s not much, no need to transfer.]

[Boss Shen: Teacher Qiao is generous indeed.]

[Qiao Xi: How could I compare with Boss Shen.]

[Boss Shen: That’s true.]

Qiao Xi laughed.

[Boss Shen: Get some sleep early, good night.]

Qiao Xi didn’t reply to him anymore.

Shen Dang stared at his phone for quite a while without moving.

The next day, before dawn broke, Qiao Xi had already risen.

Right after she finished washing up, she received a call from Shen Dang.

"Are you awake?"

Surrounded by stillness, Shen Dang’s voice was low and husky, clearly reaching her ears.

Realizing she had initiated this, Qiao Xi felt somewhat unnatural, but fortunately, he couldn’t see her.

Qiao Xi’s voice was steady: "Awake."

Shen Dang’s voice carried a faint trace of amusement: "I’m waiting downstairs for you."

Qiao Xi glanced out the window. At the brink of dawn, the world was yet lit, everything tranquil.

She withdrew her gaze: "Okay."

Her luggage was packed the night before, so Qiao Xi applied light makeup and went downstairs.

Watching Qiao Xi get into the car, Shen Dang handed her the breakfast he had brought.

"Eat breakfast first."

Qiao Xi accepted it, then asked him, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

Qiao Xi remembered the last time Shen Dang drove her to the airport, and how she had fed him breakfast along the way.

It felt like that happened a long time ago.

Past...

That word always brought a sense of nostalgia.

With a sigh she couldn’t suppress and a slight smile, Qiao Xi said, "It’s still early, let’s eat together before we go."

"...Oh."

There was a hint of regret in his tone.

Qiao Xi involuntarily looked up at him.

Shen Dang tilted his head and smiled at her: "What is it?"

Qiao Xi shook her head: "How long will your business trip last?"

"As long as your campaign runs."

Boss Shen’s reply was smooth.

His intentions were clear as day.

Qiao Xi: "..."

The two finished their breakfast in the car, and then Shen Dang drove towards the airport.

Having woken up so early, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but doze off in the car.

After parking in the airport parking lot, Shen Dang woke Qiao Xi, and they went through the security check together.

She met up with Su Tutu and Qin Mo in South City.

Once in South City, Qiao Xi got busy and could hardly spare time for Shen Dang.

Shen Dang indeed had business in South City.

While Qiao Xi was busy working, Shen Dang didn’t stay in the hotel.

The promotional event ended only in the evening.

The crew planned a late-night meal together. Before Qiao Xi could speak up, Shen Dang happened to call: "Are you still busy?"

Qiao Xi walked a bit away before responding, "Just finished."

"Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

Qiao Xi reported an address. She walked back and told Director Ye, "A friend is picking me up. I won’t join everyone."

Since Shen Dang had come with her, she couldn’t just leave him behind.

Director Ye: "Alright, go handle your matters."

Qin Mo looked at Qiao Xi, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Su Tutu walked over, patted Qin Mo on the shoulder, and said, "Let’s go, I have something to tell you."

She then winked at Qiao Xi.

Qin Mo replied: "Hmm."

After the crew left, Qiao Xi waited in place for Shen Dang to pick her up.

Shen Dang arrived quickly.

Seeing the fatigue on Qiao Xi’s face, Shen Dang frowned: "When does the crew’s promotional tour end?"

"There are a few more events. Tomorrow I’ll fly directly to Hong Kong, so you can head back to Hai City."

"I’ll go to Hong Kong on business then."

Boss Shen’s response was incredibly smooth.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

She felt quite helpless: "You don’t have to do this, you know. Now I even regret letting you take me to the airport."

Shen Dang lowered his gaze and spoke deliberately, "There’s also business for me to attend to in Hong Kong, I’ll just go take a look."

"...You’re such a willful boss."

"It’s because I’m the boss that I can be willful."

"Right, right, right, you’ve said it well." Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

Shen Dang also curved his lips slightly.

Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to a Western restaurant for dinner and even ordered a bottle of red wine.

He asked Qiao Xi if she wanted to drink. She shook her head: "Someone has to drive."

Shen Dang had a valid point: "If you want to drink, we can call a designated driver on the way back."

"No need."

"Fine, then I’ll drink it by myself."

The two leisurely enjoyed their meal, with Shen Dang finishing the whole bottle of red wine by himself.

Even with a handsome face like glaze, there was no sign of drunkenness, only his peach blossom eyes seemed to melt when they looked at her.

Some people’s eyes really can be mesmerizing.

"I’ll be right back; I’m going to use the restroom."

Qiao Xi nodded: "Sure."

Shen Dang got up and walked towards the restroom.

His phone, left on the table, suddenly rang. Qiao Xi picked it up and saw it was a scam call, so she hung up.

Just as she was about to put the phone back, she caught a glimpse of the screen saver photo.

Qiao Xi was stunned.

Wasn’t that her in the photo?

When had Shen Dang taken this picture?

Qiao Xi felt the scene in the photo looked very familiar.

Closing her eyes, she recalled various fragments in her mind.

A flash of insight crossed Qiao Xi’s mind, and her memory suddenly took her back to when she was filming "Detective in the Republic."

Was it that night she saw the snow after leaving Shen Dang’s room...had Shen Dang been following her?

A sudden pang of indescribable emotion welled up in Qiao Xi’s heart like a tide.

Shen Dang returned from the restroom, picked up the phone kept by the side, and slipped it back into his pocket without pulling his hand out.

He lowered his gaze and looked at Qiao Xi: "Let’s go back, but you’ll have to drive."

Qiao Xi, with an unfazed face, elegantly stood up and gave him a shallow smile: "Sure, I’ll drive."

Qiao Xi drove them back to the hotel they were staying in.

Silence prevailed in the car.

The faint scent of alcohol mixed with his scent flowed with time within the car.

Shen Dang leaned back in the seat, his eyes closed.

Qiao Xi glanced at him: "You could drink less from now on, it’s not like you’re at a drinking party."

Shen Dang cracked his eyes open slightly: "Only my wife can tell me that."

Qiao Xi: "..."
