Chapter 236: Chapter 236 The Mother is the Most Beautiful in the World

Boss Shen was a bit skeptical about life, wondering if Teacher Qiao, who had been drinking, wasn’t so easy to fool anymore?

"I’ll just sleep on the sofa; I won’t do anything."

When Boss Shen looked at her, his face was full of sincerity, and the slant of his thin lips had a laid-back arc that exuded a bad boy’s charm.

It was like the kind of line, "I’ll just rub against it, not go in."

Qiao Xi found it bewildering, "You have a bed at home but insist on sleeping on my sofa, are you a masochist or something?"

Shen Dang quickly retorted, "That’s because you won’t go back to Yingyue Bay."

He said it as if he was completely justified.

Qiao Xi closed her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse, "Shen Dang, you’re starting to be unreasonable again."

"...I’m not."

Even if he was, he wouldn’t admit it.

"What I’m saying is all true."

"Believe that when hell freezes over."

Suddenly, Qiao Xi stood up from the sofa, and Shen Dang glanced up at her, only to see Qiao Xi walking to the door and sliding it open.

"Where are you going?"

Shen Dang had barely finished speaking when Qiao Xi turned around, leaning her upper body against the doorframe, her phoenix eyes quietly watching him, "Please."

Boss Shen: "..."

Was the alcohol tonight fake?

Shen Dang stood up and walked over to Qiao Xi, taking her hand with a mix of amusement and helplessness, "Are you really making me leave tonight?"

Qiao Xi shook off his hand, made a ’please’ gesture, even bowed to him, repeating, "Boss Shen, please."

This was the utmost form of seeing off a guest.

Shen Dang watched her for several seconds.

They stood silent, facing off.

Suddenly, Shen Dang curved the corner of his mouth, conceding, "Fine, I’ll leave, I’m going to grab my phone."

Shen Dang picked up his phone from the coffee table, then stood next to Qiao Xi, his dark eyes earnestly on her face, "So I’m leaving now?"

Qiao Xi smiled at him, "Boss Shen, take care, I won’t see you out."

Laughter sparkled in Shen Dang’s eyes, "You really have the heart to kick me out."

Qiao Xi remained unmoved, "If you think I’m heartless, then so be it. If you want to stay, wait until the day you win me over."

One should have the right attitude if they’re pursuing someone.

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "So if I win you over, I can stay at your place forever?"

Looking at his handsome face, Qiao Xi actually felt quite sober, but somehow, the alcohol prompted her to act boldly.

She nodded, "You can stay."

Shen Dang raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his mouth curling into a smile, "Then I will keep trying."

Qiao Xi felt the warmth on her head, and a few seconds later, the touch moved away, as if leaving a lingering warmth.

Shen Dang walked out, signaling her, "Close the door."

"Oh, you go first."

"You close it first."

"Bam—"

Qiao Xi closed the door.

Shen Dang let out a speechless chuckle.

He walked towards the elevator while tapping on his phone to call a designated driver.

Qiao Xi sat back on the sofa in the living room, intending to rest before taking a shower, but she ended up dozing off on the sofa.

Qiao Xi was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night, she didn’t turn on the light, and half asleep stumbled back into her bedroom, lying down to continue sleeping.

The next morning, she woke up without any hangover.

Qiao Xi ordered breakfast for herself before going to wash up.

Back in the living room, she turned on her phone and noticed a missed call from Wang Li from last night.

After hanging up Qiao Zhenbin’s call, she had put her phone on silent.

Considering the time, it was not too early, so Qiao Xi called Wang Li back.

"Sister Li."

"You went to bed early last night? You didn’t answer my call," Wang Li started with concern.

Could she tell her that she had been eating and drinking with Shen Dang last night?

And that it was at her place.

"Yeah, I was tired and went to bed quite early. What did you need?" Qiao Xi asked lazily while leaning on the sofa.

"Your other competitor..." Wang Li paused, "is Yan Fanghua."

Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised, her voice tinged with wonder, "Really? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain."

Qiao Xi fell silent.

Wang Li had once mentored the Movie Queen, who was now competing against the artist she was currently managing. Qiao Xi wondered what Sister Li felt about it.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to speak, she heard Wang Li’s voice, filled with anger, "I’m livid, she actually called me to tell us to give up on this competition to avoid an ugly loss. Give up my ass! Xixi, sweetheart, you absolutely must make me proud this time! That ingrate Yan Fanghua, she even has the nerve to say that to me!"

Wang Li was close to exploding.

She had cared for Yan Fanghua wholeheartedly in the past, only for her to trample on her once she gained fame.

She just couldn’t swallow this grievance!

"Sister Li, calm down, there’s no need to get upset over someone else," Qiao Xi said soothingly, "Regardless, I will give it my all this time."

Hearing her calm and graceful voice, Wang Li’s anger subsided, "I shouldn’t put so much pressure on you, Xixi. Just being able to compete with them means you’re already outstanding. Even if we lose this time, we still have opportunities, after all, you’re still young."

Qiao Xi gave a light laugh, "Thank you for comforting me, but until the last second, it’s not clear who will come out on top."

"Right, baby, you keep your spirits up!"

Qiao Xi didn’t leave the house during the day, spending the time researching the history of LArtisan perfume brand.

She also dug out promotional videos of the time Jian Yi and the three-time Movie Queen endorsed LArtisan perfumes.

Judging by the content, each one exuded a delicate and beautiful sense of fashion.

Visually, they conveyed nobility and luxury, complementing the exquisite beauty of the lead woman in the ads, very high-end.

LArtisan perfumes were internationally renowned, timeless classics that presented an iconic and dimensional century-old product.

Qiao Xi rarely used perfume, even after endorsing the IZ perfume brand last year and receiving many series of perfumes as a gift, she gave most away.

She kept only one unopened bottle.

But to be honest, the domestic IZ couldn’t compare to LArtisan. If she could secure this endorsement, it could be said that Qiao Xi’s resources would take another step up.

In the evening, Shen Dang came to pick up Qiao Xi for dinner.

The next day, Shen Dang was on his way to the airport while Qiao Xi was on her way to compete for the advertising endorsement.

"Xixi, don’t be nervous later, okay? You have to show off the attitude that you’re the most beautiful woman in the world, you can definitely surpass the others!"

Sister Li was actually more nervous than Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi, on the other hand, was more relaxed. She’d competed against other artists before, but because of LArtisan’s international clout, this competition seemed a bit different.

Facing off against Nie Qing and Yan Fanghua did indeed add some pressure.

But Qiao Xi was confident and well aware that competition meant there were winners and losers, so she wasn’t too affected emotionally.

Seeing Sister Li’s nervousness, Qiao Xi smiled to reassure her, "Sister Li, you have even less to worry about. Isn’t my beauty universally recognized?"
