My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 225: How do you know if I’m fast if you haven’t tried it?

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: How do you know if I’m fast if you haven’t tried it?

"Sure."

Still sure?

Shen Dang chuckled helplessly, "Then let’s settle it before you get busy."

Qiao Xi looked at him with persistence, a faint smile on her lips. "Shall we eat first?"

After recording for so long, she was genuinely hungry.

"When did you start being cheeky too?" Shen Dang leaned back, lazily counter-questioning her.

Qiao Xi with an innocent face, "Did I?"

Shen Dang, smiling yet not smiling: "Didn’t you?"

Qiao Xi slowly replied, "Then I guess I learned it from you."

After all, Boss Shen had not been short on cheeky maneuvers.

Shen Dang: "..."

Boss Shen was momentarily at a loss for words.

He laughed out of frustration: "Qiao Xi, I never taught you these things."

He rested his head on his hand, a look of nonchalance on his face.

Qiao Xi curled the corners of her mouth, serene and composed, "Well, I’ve probably been around Boss Shen too much, and it rubbed off on me."

Shen Dang again: "..."

He laughed helplessly: "Okay, so you’re pinning this on me, huh?"

Qiao Xi corrected him: "No, no, no. You had it coming. I’m just putting you on trial now."

Shen Dang pondered her words for a moment: "On trial?"

"Do I really need to dig up your past glories, Boss Shen?"

Shen Dang raised his hands in surrender, seemingly resigned: "Fine, I admit it, I admit it."

The girl now had a knack for teasing.

Witty and vibrant.

Much more lively than her previous aloofness, not letting anything get close to her.

Her bickering with him was actually quite nice.

Shen Dang felt an uncontrollable mirth, an enticing curve forming on his thin lips.

"Teacher Qiao is always right," Shen Dang spoke with a touch of fondness, "Let’s eat first, then talk after eating, okay?"

Qiao Xi slightly tilted her refined chin up, responded to him with a "Mm."

Right then, the dishes were served.

Shen Dang observed her, "Eat."

Boss Shen didn’t drink tonight.

The atmosphere between them could be described as beautiful.

After eating at Tan Garden several times, Qiao Xi still found the cuisine here irresistibly appetizing.

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "Boss Shen, have you considered opening a branch?"

"Uh?"

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, not understanding the implication of her words for a moment.

"Tan Garden, I mean. Such a good taste deserves a branch."

In Hai City, this place stands alone. The rich are willing to queue for a long time due to its exclusivity.

"The chef I brought in from Country D is a top figure in the culinary field, irreplaceable," Shen Dang spoke slowly, "In the restaurant business, scarcity brings value; an additional branch would make it less unique."

"Boss Shen is truly a businessman."

Qiao Xi could only express her admiration.

"Now you, Boss Qiao, are somewhat a businessman too."

From Teacher Qiao to Boss Qiao...

Qiao Xi still didn’t quite see herself as any boss.

As the Qiao Family’s daughter, she merely held shares in the family company, conveniently enough to exchange shares with Shen Dang and become a stakeholder at GK.

"You should still call me Teacher Qiao."

"Teacher Qiao."

Shen Dang’s voice was clear and crisp, but Qiao Xi inexplicably picked up a sultry undertone in his voice.

Her ears tingled.

Qiao Xi averted her gaze, turning her eyes away, "Let’s eat, let’s eat."

After dinner, Shen Dang drove Qiao Xi back home.

The car journey ended at Qiao Xi’s apartment building.

Shen Dang stopped the car, switched on the interior light, and looked over at Qiao Xi.

"Can we talk now?"

Boss Shen had held back the whole way.

He glanced out the window, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Or perhaps we should go up to your place to talk?"

Qiao Xi instantly became alert.

Letting him up would be inviting the wolf into the den.

"It’s fine to talk here."

Qiao Xi shifted uncomfortably: "How do you want to talk?"

Shen Dang leaned forward, propping his arm on the armrest, looking straight at Qiao Xi: "So, Teacher Qiao, would you allow me to take our relationship to the next level, like maybe start pursuing you again, or perhaps, we could date?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, smiling, "...you’re moving too fast."

"You wouldn’t know if I’m too fast without trying," Shen Dang’s voice carried a teasing tone.

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, initially not catching Shen Dang’s implication until she saw his ambiguous gaze.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Dogs will be dogs; he started speaking nonsense again.

This dirty talk was becoming second nature to him, is this how men are?

Qiao Xi didn’t know how to respond, as anything seemed inappropriate.

She wasn’t thick-skinned enough to engage in that kind of banter just yet, and was utterly embarrassed.

Seeing her speechless, Shen Dang pressed on, "Then how about I continue to pursue you?"

He paused, then added, "Teacher Qiao can take her time to consider it; there’s no rush."

The no-rush part was fake.

But he was afraid that being too eager might scare her off.

Security in a relationship isn’t easily established, he understood that.

He missed their initially agreed two years for a contractual marriage; now, what’s wrong in waiting a bit longer, as long as she stops dwelling on it.

Qiao Xi responded softly with a "Mm," somewhat agreeing.

"Then I’ll head upstairs."

"Aren’t you inviting me up for a visit?"

Qiao Xi suspected he was teasing her again.

Their gazes met, Qiao Xi lightly said, "You must be tired from your trip; get some good rest."

Shen Dang: "..."

Just talking wouldn’t delay his rest.

Qiao Xi got out of the car, Shen Dang rolled down the window, his eyes bearing a slight resent: "When are you moving back to Yingyue Bay?"

Qiao Xi stood outside the car, looking at the person inside, eyes curving. "Have you ever seen a pursuer and the pursued living together? Thought not. Let’s forget the past, from now on, I’ll stay at my place."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "...Fine."

What else could he do?

"Good night."

Qiao Xi waved at him like a beckoning cat.

Shen Dang somehow found her endearing, his gaze heated for a moment, then he closed his eyes to suppress that warmth.

"Good night."

Shen Dang took one deep look at her, rolled up the window, and drove away.

Qiao Xi turned and walked towards the building, recalling the look Shen Dang gave before leaving, she couldn’t help but smile.

The smooth elevator surfaced her smile, Qiao Xi paused, touched her mouth, then stepped into the elevator.

Once home, Qiao Xi called Wang Li: "Qiao Nan has joined ’Dream Chasing Camp’ as a trainee."

Wang Li paused, "Interesting step-sister you have. Which entertainment company is backing her?"

"Le Entertainment, who else?"

Qiao Xi spoke blandly.

Wang Li fell silent for a moment: "Baby, is Le Entertainment trying to annoy you?"

"Uh... rightly said."

Qiao Xi smirked, Wang Li’s thoughts aligning with hers clearly not overthinking.

"What are you planning to do about your sister wanting to hitchhike on your fame?"

"Wait for the show to air and you’ll find out."

On May 5th, ’Dream Chasing Camp’ aired officially on the Fruit TV Channel and simultaneously on the Fruit TV’s video app.

Wang Li, displeased: "You’re being mysterious with me?"
