Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Stay Away from Me Outside

Qiao Xi’s voice paused slightly, deliberately piquing his curiosity.

Shen Dang glanced at her and followed up on her lead, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about the way you used to treat me."

He pretended not to hear, but she insisted on saying it anyway.

Shen Dang’s voice contained a hint of playfulness, "My attitude?"

"Yeah, in the past when I was pulling two suitcases, Boss Shen remained indifferent, but now your attitude has certainly changed."

Qiao Xi’s usually cold features carried a rare trace of playfulness, and there was an added sense of impropriety.

Shen Dang: "..."

When had this happened?

Why didn’t he remember?

Boss Shen’s gaze held a touch of skepticism: "Really?"

"If you say it didn’t happen, then it didn’t," Qiao Xi gave up, appearing completely unconcerned with the world.

Shen Dang found it amusing, a smile evident in his dark eyes as he spoke languidly, "Back then I had no romantic feelings for you. If I had been warmer to you, you might have thought I had ulterior motives."

His reasoning sounded quite plausible.

It was Qiao Xi’s turn to be at a loss for words: "..."

Seems like there might be some truth to that.

Seeing that she did not retort, Shen Dang asked her again, "Right, I make sense, don’t I?"

Qiao Xi laughed coldly: "You’ve said it all."

Shen Dang cocked his head, smiling, "I’ll be nicer to you in the future, to make you forget all those unpleasant things before."

He couldn’t resist stretching out his arm to ruffle Qiao Xi’s hair.

Qiao Xi slapped his hand away and turned to glare at him, sternly, "Focus on the driving!"

Shen Dang pulled over to the side of the road.

"What are you doing?"

"Buying breakfast."

Shen Dang got out of the car, and Qiao Xi could only see his tall, slender figure.

He returned not long after with a bag of breakfast.

To avoid a repeat of last time’s events, Qiao Xi suggested they eat breakfast before setting off.

They ate in the car.

Qiao Xi was texting Bei Bei as they ate.

By the time they arrived at the airport, it was fully daylight.

Before getting out of the car, Qiao Xi reminded him, "Try to stay away from me as much as possible when we’re outside."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue.

That bit of displeasure had been evoked by her again.

The plane was due to take off in an hour, and Qiao Xi and Bei Bei headed to the VIP lounge to wait.

Shen Dang followed them in, choosing a spot to rest that was a bit distant from Qiao Xi.

Bei Bei noticed Shen Dang, but didn’t dare to speak.

Qiao Xi had arranged for Bei Bei to travel in first class with her; the trip to country F was more than ten hours, including a layover.

It was more comfortable in first class.

The boarding announcement was made on time.

Qiao Xi and Shen Dang boarded one after the other, taking their seats in first class while Bei Bei was on the other side.

Qiao Xi adjusted her seat to a comfortable position.

During the long journey, she was bound to sleep on the plane.

Shen Dang kept watching her: "Shall I take you out after you’re done with work?"

Qiao Xi looked up at him: "Aren’t you busy?"

Shen Dang nodded: "Busy too."

— Yeah, right.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes: "Let’s talk about it once we’re both free. Besides, I don’t even know if there are domestic arrangements waiting for me."

Shen Dang rested his chin in his hand, lazily saying: "Shouldn’t your agent have told you whether you have any arrangements?"

"Actually..." Qiao Xi drew out her words.

"Hmm?"

Shen Dang listened attentively.

"I just feel like there’s nothing that interesting to do, and a few days of playing isn’t much fun either. When I have the chance for a long vacation in the future, I’ll travel the world then."

That would be the time to indulge in travel.

Right now, Qiao Xi was prioritizing her career, but she knew one day she’d give herself the chance to see the world.

After all, she had the money to go wherever she wanted.

"When you travel the world, take me with you," Shen Dang said nonchalantly, as if it followed naturally.

Qiao Xi smiled: "We’ll see."

Shen Dang also curled his lips.

Shortly after takeoff, Qiao Xi put on an eye mask and fell asleep.

At one point, Shen Dang woke her to have some of the plane’s meal.

During the layover, Qiao Xi stayed with Shen Dang at the airport without going anywhere.

After a long journey, they finally landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

A car had come to pick up Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi and Bei Bei got into the car with him.

They had already booked a five-star hotel.

The three of them went directly to check in.

But Qiao Xi was a bit confused when she got her room card.

She was going to stay with Shen Dang?

Boss Shen looked as if it was the most natural thing in the world: "I booked a presidential suite, it’s not safe abroad, and I don’t feel at ease with you staying alone."

Qiao Xi: "..."

What could she say?

Bei Bei wanted to say she could stay with Sister Xi, as she had done before, but she didn’t dare utter a peep.

Bei Bei also wanted to help Qiao Xi with her suitcase, but with Boss Shen around, her assistance wasn’t needed.

"Sister Xi, I’ll head back to my own room. Call me if you need anything," Bei Bei thought she shouldn’t disturb them any longer.

"Alright, go rest," Qiao Xi said.

"OK!" Bei Bei quickly scampered off.

She realized now that the atmosphere between Sister Xi and Boss Shen had clearly changed again, there was a tension in their ambiguity.

The two of them, not so innocent... Tsk!

The presidential suite was huge and had everything one could need.

Shen Dang pushed Qiao Xi’s suitcase into one of the bedrooms.

He walked into the living room and leaned against the couch, his voice casual, "Do you want room service to send up food, or shall we go out to eat?"

Qiao Xi looked up at him, "Tired, don’t feel like going out."

The dreaded jet lag.

Although Qiao Xi slightly feared long-haul flights, her work required her to travel all over.

She was tired now but couldn’t fall asleep.

Shen Dang, observing her faintly tired eyes, moved his lips slightly, "I’ll order some food, and you take a rest first."

Qiao Xi gave him a smile: "Alright."

The two of them didn’t go out after entering the hotel.

At night.

They slept in separate rooms.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, when Qiao Xi came out of the bedroom, she saw Shen Dang standing in the living room drinking water.

His figure was tall and straight, and the huge chandelier above cast a lustrous glow around him.

The soft light diffused over his exceedingly handsome face, his black eyes beckoning her with a devilish allure.

It had to be said, the man was stunning to behold.

Just standing there, he was like a fine painting, a sight so beautiful from every angle.

Qiao Xi was momentarily captivated.

Seeing such a scene first thing in the morning...

Was this a challenge?

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Did you sleep well?"

Her complexion was rosy and any traces of tiredness had vanished, her cool, clear eyes lively and spirited.

Qiao Xi averted her gaze, still looking somewhat unnatural, "Quite well. I’m getting ready to head out, and it will probably be late evening by the time I finish the shoot."

Shen Dang set down his glass and walked over to ruffle her hair, "I’ve ordered breakfast. Eat before you go."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi wasn’t in a hurry at this moment.

She turned stiffly, "I’ll go change."

She was still in her pajamas.

After changing and emerging, breakfast had arrived.

At the dining table, they sat opposite each other.

In the vast space, just the two of them.

The hotel suite blocked out all outside noise, and the only sounds in the room were their soft chewing.

Shen Dang broke the silence, "Do you want me to drive you over later?"
