My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 245: More Reliable than Men?

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: More Reliable than Men?

Time seemed to come to a standstill that night, it was too quiet, not a sound nearby, Qiao Xi only heard the thumping of his heart.

His heartbeat was so intense.

"Okay."

Shen Dang reluctantly let go of Qiao Xi and caressed her head for a moment, "I’m heading back now."

Qiao Xi looked up at him and unconsciously pursed her lips, "Did you drive here yourself?"

Shen Dang smiled at her, "The driver is waiting downstairs for me."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips again, "Then you better hurry back."

"Alright."

"Sure."

Qiao Xi escorted him to the door.

Shen Dang turned and left.

Qiao Xi gently closed the door.

Whose thoughts drifted far away tonight, nobody knew.

The warm atmosphere from just earlier had dissipated as soon as Shen Dang left.

Qiao Xi yawned and returned to her bedroom to sleep.

Shen Dang approached the car; before getting in, he glanced upstairs, not a single window had lights on.

With a slight, ambiguous smile, he bent down and got into the car.

The car quickly drove away.

...

Qiao Xi was set to appear on an interview program with Qin Mo; the program was in the afternoon, but they started preparing in the morning.

Obviously, she had no time to go anywhere with Shen Dang.

By the time the interview was over, it was already five in the afternoon.

Qiao Xi then went to attend a dinner party.

When the party disbanded, she and Qin Mo left the hotel together and each boarded their respective nanny vans.

The next day, somehow, Qiao Xi and Qin Mo ended up embroiled in a scandal that hit the trending searches.

GK’s PR team quickly devised a response strategy.

The scandal about Qiao Xi and Qin Mo passed as quickly as it came, garnering little attention.

However, Shen Dang, despite being busy, naturally didn’t miss this particular piece of gossip about Qiao Xi.

He wasn’t into entertainment gossip, but with Tang Honghe being the gossip king, he had no choice.

He was fed up with it.

Spending his days not minding his own business, acting like a porter for him.

Still, being a man himself, Shen Dang could clearly see that Qin Mo’s look at Qiao Xi was not simple.

Shen Dang glanced at his wristwatch, leaned back in his executive chair, and lazily dialed Qiao Xi, "Teacher Qiao, are you free tonight for dinner?" he got straight to the point.

Qiao Xi was at home but was planning to go out, "No, I’ve already made plans with Tutu. After shopping, we’ll eat out."

Shen Dang immediately frowned, dissatisfied, "What does she want with you? Doesn’t she have a husband?"

Qiao Xi found it funny, "Just because she has a husband doesn’t mean she can’t hang out with her sisters, right?"

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, only able to change tactics, "Tell Su Tutu you’re unavailable. It’s been over a day since I saw you. I’ll pick you up from work and we can go eat."

Hearing him, it sounded like it had been not just one day but a year.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud but continued in a stern tone, "Don’t be unreasonable. How can I cancel on Tutu like that? I have to leave now, and I’m also planning to get a spa treatment. Bye."

Without letting Shen Dang say anything further, Qiao Xi decisively hung up.

Shen Dang: "..."

A hint of displeasure crossed his handsome face.

Wasn’t he as important as her sister?

But then again, he was still just a suitor, not yet her boyfriend. It seemed he needed an official status first.

Only with an established relationship could he declare his right.

Recollecting an incident where some guy mocked him, Shen Dang spontaneously dialed Sheng Chao’s number.

"Ugh."

"?"

The moment he answered, Sheng Chao heard the grim tone and frowned, "Who annoyed you?"

Shen Dang scoffed coldly, "Aren’t you the one who boasts about loving his wife the most? How come you don’t even have time to spend with her?"

Realizing Su Tutu went out to play with Qiao Xi, Sheng Chao instantly understood and couldn’t resist teasing, "Oh, so it’s because Xi Xi and my wife are hanging out and you’re jealous? Wow, you’re even jealous over women now?"

What a day this was.

The old Sheng Chao never would have imagined.

Shen Dang replied with a cold laugh, "Jealous? I just want your wife not to get in the way of me pursuing my girlfriend. Hurry up and take her away!"

Sheng Chao couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "There’s nothing I can do about that. I can’t stop my wife from socializing. You’ll just have to deal with it for now, especially since your situation isn’t officially recognized. Keep it up, buddy."

Listening to the beep...beep...beep on the other end, Shen Dang ended up laughingly frustrated.

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Chao also sent a message to Su Tutu: [Honey, you can have fun out there with Xi Xi a little longer; no worries. Have a great time, and I’ll come to pick you up when you’re ready to head home.]

Su Tutu stared at Sheng Chao’s message, deep in thought.

There was a time when he wouldn’t leave her side for a moment, and now he was encouraging her to stay out longer?

But she liked it!

Men could sometimes be too clingy, and Su Tutu didn’t like that. Most importantly, her back couldn’t take it.

She excitedly replied: [Mwah my love, I love you too, I want a new handbag.]

Looking at the cabinet full of her designer bags at home, Sheng Chao texted: [Go ahead, buy whatever.]

[Su Tutu: Where’s the money?]

[Sheng Chao: Isn’t my secondary card with you?]

[Su Tutu: Hehe, right.]

Su Tutu was about to join a film set in a few days where she would play the leading lady, so she arranged to hang out with Qiao Xi before starting the project.

Qiao Xi, having no other plans, readily agreed.

They decided to meet directly at a beauty salon.

Su Tutu was a VIP member of a beauty salon that provided the highest level of service.

She was a regular customer, and the salon, often frequented by celebrities due to its excellent confidentiality, appealed to her.

Moreover, the masseuses’ techniques were indeed good, so Su Tutu didn’t hesitate to get a membership.

Wearing a mask, Qiao Xi followed Su Tutu into the room before removing it.

Su Tutu selected her usual beautician and arranged another experienced one for Qiao Xi.

Before starting, Su Tutu sat on the couch, cracking seeds and chatting with Qiao Xi, "Brother Chao told me to hang out longer. How about we finish our beauty treatments, go shopping, then eat, and end with a movie?"

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow and grabbed some seeds, "Are we timing everything so tight?"

Su Tutu rested her chin in her hand, "What else can we do? After I start filming, I won’t be able to see you for months."

Qiao Xi smiled at her, "Alright then, I’ll keep you company, I’m free anyway."

"Sisters are the best."

Qiao Xi agreed with this statement.

As for men, they could wait a bit longer.

After the spa, they left the beauty salon and went straight to a shopping mall.

Su Tutu, with a grand gesture, bought Qiao Xi a handbag worth tens of thousands.

"Sweetie, here’s a bag for you. A bag cures all ailments!"

Qiao Xi didn’t lack for bags but accepted it graciously, "Thanks, having a wealthy sister sure is different."

"More reliable than a man, right?" Su Tutu joked, leaning close and laughing.
