Chapter 234: Chapter 234: One of the Techniques You Must Know to Woo a Girlfriend

Qiao Xi pushed open the door of her room and was immediately greeted by the aroma of food, her stomach responding in kind.

Had her stomach emptied just because she slept?

"Shen Dang?"

Not hearing Shen Dang’s response and hearing sounds coming from the kitchen, Qiao Xi walked towards the kitchen.

"Shen Dang, what are you doing?"

Shen Dang turned around upon hearing her and his gaze unintentionally swept over her body before he looked away, "Making dinner."

Qiao Xi was incredulous, "Eating dinner at this time?"

And what was even more unbelievable was that he hadn’t left her house yet and was sticking around.

"You can consider it a late-night snack," Shen Dang felt that it was not a big deal.

"A late-night snack isn’t due yet either," Qiao Xi doubted her life choices.

Shen Dang turned back to look at her, a bit puzzled, "Since when has Teacher Qiao become a nitpicker? Must we check the time even to eat?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Nitpicker?

What kind of nitpicker was she?

Qiao Xi was almost amused to anger, yet she was also curious, "When did you go buy the groceries?"

He could still come back after leaving her house?

Shen Dang filled up a plate with food from the wok, then instructed her, "I had someone deliver it, take it out."

Shen Dang handed the plate of food to Qiao Xi, who subconsciously took it, only to hear Shen Dang’s casual voice, "There’s one more dish to finish, just wait a bit longer and go out, it’s smoky here."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Her kitchen, which she hadn’t used in hundreds of years, was suddenly being fired up by Boss Shen.

Qiao Xi blankly carried Shen Dang’s cooked dishes to the dining room.

After placing the plates down, Qiao Xi stared at the two dishes on the table and fell into contemplation.

Unconsciously she turned back to the kitchen and leaned on the kitchen doorway, watching Shen Dang’s tall and upright figure.

He was very focused while working, exuding an enchanting aura that easily captured the attention of others.

Watching him, Qiao Xi gradually lost herself in thought, unconsciously thinking of the days they spent together at Yingyue Bay.

Actually, it was already surprising that Boss Shen could cook, let alone cook so well and do it frequently.

Watching him turn off the stove, Qiao Xi blurted out a question, "Boss Shen, who else have you cooked for?"

She was merely curious and asked, but then felt that her question seemed to imply too much.

He wouldn’t overthink it, would he?

Qiao Xi wanted to explain, only to hear Shen Dang chuckle softly, "Aside from you, who else would I cook for?"

Shen Dang’s eyes, laden with meaning, fell on her face as he raised an eyebrow, "Are you asking because..."

Qiao Xi interrupted him hastily, "It means nothing, I was just curious!"

Shen Dang’s voice floated lightly, "Why get so worked up, I didn’t say anything."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Shen Dang, carrying the last dish, said, "Get some bowls, let’s eat, aren’t you hungry?"

"...Not really."

After saying that, Qiao Xi went into the kitchen and took out bowls, chopsticks, and spoons from the cupboard.

Before Qiao Xi could leave, Shen Dang walked into the kitchen again, carrying the soup he had simmered on the stove.

"I’m hungry, I didn’t eat much this afternoon, just waiting for this dinner since you slept so long."

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "Are you blaming me?"

Shen Dang wanted to ruffle her hair but his hands were occupied, so he only smiled, "If I blamed you, I wouldn’t have cooked for you."

Qiao Xi: "..."

She found herself at a loss for words.

Shen Dang ladled out a bowl of soup for her, "This is pigeon soup, have some of this first, and then we can eat."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Boss Shen, you’ve worked hard."

Shen Dang’s lips curled up, revealing a handsome smile tinged red, "Pursuing a girlfriend requires some skills."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Was this the legendary way to a person’s heart through their stomach?

Boss Shen really had a good strategy.

"I have to travel the day after tomorrow, so I can’t accompany you," Shen Dang suddenly said.

"You don’t need to accompany me. Sister Li will be with me, and I have an assistant too. You almost made my driver lose his job."

Hearing her say this, Shen Dang wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t manage it, "Don’t you feel a bit reluctant to let me go?"

He made an unpleased "tsk" sound.

"Do you want some wine?" Qiao Xi changed the subject directly.

Shen Dang’s eyes sparkled with interest, his smile growing lazy, "Teacher Qiao, you’re inviting me to have a drink."

His tone was matter-of-fact, not a question.

A person with no tolerance for alcohol inviting him to drink, just to change the subject; she really could say anything.

Qiao Xi half-smiled, "With such good food, shouldn’t we have a bottle of red wine to match? Can’t let Boss Shen’s cooking go to waste."

"Okay," Shen Dang’s tongue touched his cheek, and he chuckled leisurely, "Then go get the wine, I’ll join you."

Qiao Xi took a bottle of red wine and a corkscrew from the kitchen’s wine cabinet.

"This bottle of red wine was a gift from a friend."

"Cups."

Shen Dang reminded her.

Qiao Xi went to fetch the wine glasses and decanter, and by the time she returned, Shen Dang had already uncorked the bottle.

Shen Dang poured the wine to let it breathe, his expression subtly lifting, "You can’t hold your liquor, just have a little."

He didn’t want to take advantage of her.

Qiao Xi rested her chin on her hand, curious yet puzzled, "Isn’t it through drinking more that one builds tolerance?"

"Some people might, some people can’t," Shen Dang added lazily, "I reckon you fall into the latter category."

Qiao Xi: "..."

That seemed to be the truth.

Qiao Xi couldn’t argue.

"I..."

She was about to speak when her phone rang.

Qiao Xi glanced at her phone, seeing an unfamiliar number.

She slightly frowned, picked up the phone and answered; just as she put it to her ear, she heard a familiar angry voice, "Qiao Xi!"

Qiao Xi’s expression suddenly turned cold.

"What is it?"

Her voice was also cold.

Shen Dang subtly lifted his eyes toward Qiao Xi, while she didn’t look at him, merely gazing downward, her long eyelashes faintly trembling.

"Your sister wants to enter the entertainment industry and you don’t want to help, that’s fine, but how could you speak about her like that on the show? Do you know how hard it is for our family right now? If your sister successfully debuts from this show, she can make money and bring it home; by doing this, you’re pushing me to a dead end, what exactly do you want?!"

Qiao Nan couldn’t contain her grievances and complained to Qiao Zhenbin, just to make him scold Qiao Xi.

Qiao Zhenbin hoped to make a comeback with the money Qiao Nan could make, and Qiao Xi blocking his plans was something he could not tolerate.

Enduring this unreasonable anger, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh, "Me help her? Prettily put, Qiao Nan wants to tie herself to my popularity; bluntly said, she wants to leech off my hard work, what obligation do I have to help her?"

"Just because you are my daughter and she is my daughter too!" Qiao Zhenbin was shouting now.

"I’d rather I never had you as a father."

Qiao Xi was unusually calm.
