My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day -
Chapter 233 Since you want to accompany me, just stay here with me, I’m very pleased.
Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Since you want to accompany me, just stay here with me, I’m very pleased.
Shen Dang tapped his own cheek and shamelessly said, "If you kiss me, I’ll tell you."
Qiao Xi gave a cool smile, "Then just don’t say it. I’ll find out when I go to the site the day after tomorrow anyway."
"I can’t do anything about you," Shen Dang spoke helplessly, his voice even carrying a hint of indulgence, "No kiss, then no kiss."
Qiao Xi then laughed, "You’re trying to take advantage of me and still being so righteous? We’re not even at that stage yet."
Shen Dang lightly snorted with a half-smile, "As if we haven’t kissed before."
Thinking about the previous times, either he had been impulsive, or they had gotten drunk and done something, a blush spread across Qiao Xi’s face.
"That was then! This is now!" Qiao Xi, annoyed, raised her voice a bit.
Seeing her getting ruffled, Shen Dang quickly smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, I’ll tell you, okay?"
"Say it or don’t."
Qiao Xi huffed and continued cutting her steak, scraping her knife and fork against the plate to deliberately make a grating sound.
Shen Dang interjected with a "Eh," "That person has some connections with your agent."
Qiao Xi paused in her steak-cutting.
Related to Wang Li?
It was quite easy to guess who it was.
That endorsement wasn’t something just anyone could vie for, the Movie Queen Yan Fanghua, who was brought out by Wang Li, was very likely.
Related to Wang Li, and linked with this endorsement, it had to be her.
"Yan Fanghua?"
"Teacher Qiao is really clever," Boss Shen took the opportunity to praise her again.
"With you making it so obvious, how could I not guess?" Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at Shen Dang.
If Shen Dang had not mentioned it, Qiao Xi indeed wouldn’t have thought of Yan Fanghua.
Yan Fanghua was now over thirty and among the actresses, she not only had popularity but also talent. The TV series and films she had starred in were all quality productions, highly praised and especially popular among fans, after all, she had been in the industry for a long time.
Qiao Xi, now in her twenties, did not have the same level of experience as Yan Fanghua.
They were managed by the same agent, one a senior, the other still a newcomer...
However, this also proved that Qiao Xi’s current career and resources were quite good.
She wasn’t even twenty-five yet, and she was competing on the same stage with actresses like Yan Fanghua and Nie Qing.
The commercials Qiao Xi shot last year had received very positive responses.
She wouldn’t let down the things she had strived for.
"Aren’t you scared, Teacher Qiao?" Shen Dang calmly observed her.
Qiao Xi spoke indifferently, "There’s nothing to be scared of. If I get the endorsement, great; if not, I’m still young and there will be many more opportunities in the future. What’s there to rush?"
"Indeed." Shen Dang wholeheartedly agreed with her statement, responding with a lazy smile, "At GK, you, Boss Qiao, have nothing to fear."
...
After finishing her meal, Qiao Xi planned to go home and rest.
The third episode of the Dream Chasing Camp wouldn’t start filming for another week.
She wasn’t taking on much work, mainly focusing on competing for the LArtisan perfume endorsement.
Seeing that she was tired, Shen Dang offered to take her home.
All the way home, Qiao Xi kept thinking about Yan Fanghua. She wasn’t sure whether or not to tell Wang Li.
But she would find out eventually, just whether to give her a heads-up first?
Until the car stopped downstairs at her building, Qiao Xi still hadn’t called Wang Li.
"Thanks for the ride. I’ll go upstairs then."
Seeing Qiao Xi unbuckle her seatbelt to get out, Shen Dang bit his lip and, still not giving up, asked again, "Can I come up for a cup of tea?"
Qiao Xi paused for a moment, considering Shen Dang’s request.
Boss Shen had waited for her so long today, it would be hard to refuse, right?
It’s just a cup of tea.
"Okay," Qiao Xi agreed after a thought. "But I don’t have any good tea to offer you, so..."
"I’m fine with anything," Shen Dang interrupted her.
Was it really for a cup of tea?
It was obviously about her.
Qiao Xi: "... then let’s go."
Shen Dang smiled softly, his expression relaxed and carefree as he followed Qiao Xi out of the car.
At the entrance, Qiao Xi still took out the pair of fluffy slippers Shen Dang had worn last time and handed them to him.
Boss Shen looked at them, not sure if he was numb to it, or had gotten used to it, or because he could finally be officially invited in.
He slipped his feet into the cute, fluffy slippers without any resistance.
Qiao Xi watched his natural movements, "...?"
"These slippers aren’t bad, very soft," Boss Shen commented as he walked towards the sofa area.
"Do you want them? I can send you a link to buy them online," Qiao Xi naturally said.
Shen Dang turned to look at her, tugging up one corner of his mouth in a half-smile, "What do you take me for? I don’t have that fetish."
Qiao Xi looked down at his feet, "Well, you seem quite natural wearing them."
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "Then next time I’ll bring a pair of men’s indoor slippers over to leave here."
"Sit down for a bit. I’ll check where the tea leaves are."
Qiao Xi hurried towards the kitchen, Shen Dang let out a soft chuckle and laughed lightly.
Qiao Xi found a packet of tea leaves in the cupboard.
"This is all I have."
Shen Dang took the tea leaves from her hand, casually saying, "Let me make it myself, you go rest."
Qiao Xi, "... is that okay?"
Leaving him here alone?
Shen Dang lifted his eyelid, his eyes dark with a hint of amusement, "Or do you want to join me for tea?"
Qiao Xi refused, "No thanks, I don’t drink tea."
Shen Dang smiled, "So go rest. I can manage on my own, you don’t need to specifically stay here with me."
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh, "When did I say I wanted to stay with you? Boss Shen is quite presumptuous."
"Then you don’t need to stay here."
Shen Dang was already boiling water, moving as if he was in his own home.
Qiao Xi thought his behavior was really odd.
Coming to her house to drink tea alone?
Wouldn’t he find better tea at his own home or someone else’s?
Seeing that she hadn’t left, Shen Dang spoke in a calm voice, "If you want to stay with me then stay here, I’d be happy to."
Qiao Xi quickly diverted, "I need to sleep for a bit. My head hurts. Just lock the door when you leave after you’re done."
Shen Dang leaned his head on his hand, lazily sizing her up, his eyes deep as if they could only accommodate her alone.
Qiao Xi thought he was going to say something, but he just casually "Hmm-ed."
Qiao Xi frowned slightly and without hesitation turned and walked to her room.
She changed into pajamas and rested.
When one is tired, it’s easy to fall asleep.
Qiao Xi woke up to find it was already dark outside, with lights shining, making the night dazzle radiantly and bizarrely.
Her eyes still adjusting to waking up, Qiao Xi squinted and checked the time, it was almost eight o’clock.
Shen Dang should have left by now?
