My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 268: Just Friends Now, Not in the Future?

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Just Friends Now, Not in the Future?

Qiao Xi really hadn’t expected their relationship to be exposed in such a manner, nor was she prepared for it now.

The situation was truly unexpected and caught everyone by surprise.

It felt as though someone was dragging her along when she didn’t want to move, which inevitably caused some harm.

Shen Dang huffed with a hint of sarcasm, "Well, if you’ve made your decision, can I even stop you?"

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, her voice still calm, "Do I have to publicly announce that you’re my husband and we’re divorced, and now you’re pursuing me again?"

Shen Dang counterasked, "Is that not okay?"

Qiao Xi fell silent, not speaking for a long while.

Shen Dang’s voice took on a hint of cold laughter, "Or do you plan to keep hiding our relationship in the future?"

Suddenly feeling a bit irritated, Qiao Xi lowered her gaze, "I’ve said it; we can talk about the future when it comes."

"Qiao Xi." There was a gravity in Shen Dang’s voice, "Is it that you don’t have even a little trust or sense of security in me?"

He seldom called her name with such seriousness.

"No." Qiao Xi’s heart skipped, and her throat felt dry, her voice rough as she spoke, "That’s not it."

Hearing her say this, Shen Dang didn’t know whether to laugh or feel sad.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to say something, she heard Shen Dang’s indifferent voice, "Fine, since you’ve decided, let it be."

He hung up the phone.

Qiao Xi lowered her gaze, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her eyes swirling with a touch of melancholy.

But she quickly reined it in.

It’s not that she completely lacked trust and a sense of security in him.

It just didn’t feel like the right time yet.

Qiao Xi slightly tilted her head back, exhaling, a smile curving her lips as she smiled slowly.

She couldn’t afford to think about other things now, figuring out how to clarify this matter was the priority.

She had to face it with a smile.

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Shen Dang gave a cold laugh, holding his phone, his eyes dark and deep.

After a while, Shen Dang downloaded Weibo onto his phone.

When registering, Shen Dang used his real name as the ID, but the system notified him that the name was already taken.

Shen Dang: "..."

What the hell?

His name was already taken?

Shen Dang called Assistant Gao.

Assistant Gao said, "Weibo IDs can’t be duplicated, if the name is taken, you’ll have to choose another."

He never expected his boss to use such social media apps, as he saw them as a waste of time and life.

Finally, Shen Dang added ’dang’ after his name, and it was accepted.

[Shen Dangdang]

That was his ID.

Shen Dang tried searching Qiao Xi’s name.

Many news articles about her appeared.

Of course, the hottest news was about her and him.

Shen Dang was usually low key; even though he was young and successful, he didn’t expose himself much in the media.

It was only after he took part in the acquisition of GK Entertainment that there began to be more news about him online.

However, not a single complete photo of him could be found online, maintaining his usual low-key mystery.

Curiously, Shen Dang clicked into the comments section and saw some of the top comments.

His eyebrows raised.

While eating breakfast, Qiao Xi was checking Weibo updates and came across one of the comments.

[If I’m not mistaken, this person is the finance magnate Shen Dang, the one who acquired GK Entertainment, right?]

The mouthful of porridge Qiao Xi had just sipped almost sprayed out.

She covered her mouth and pulled out a paper towel from the side to dab her lips.

She had already anticipated this outcome, so why get so worked up?

Qiao Xi tossed the tissue into the trash can, took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and continued with her breakfast.

After eating and with her brain now in gear, Qiao Xi communicated with Wang Li, then posted a live broadcast announcement on Weibo.

At noon, on the dot, Qiao Xi started the live stream.

The morning had passed, and many curious netizens had already been waiting.

As soon as she started the stream, viewers flooded into her live room.

Qiao Xi watched as the number of people in the live room kept rising.

The comments in the live room were dense and fast, she couldn’t read a complete statement before it was swept away.

Ignoring these comments, Qiao Xi spoke directly, "Regarding the news this morning, I will only clarify once."

[Hours have gone by—is this supposed to be a good excuse?]

[What fairy, more like a seductress, right?]

[You’ve been coming and going together, what’s there to clarify? I won’t believe a single word anyway!]

Qiao Xi caught a few comments, her expression unchanged, her voice steady, "The rumors are false, everyone please don’t misunderstand, I am just friends with Boss Shen. Of course, we have another relationship..."

Qiao Xi paused for a moment, glanced at the comments again, "I am currently an artist under GK, and also a shareholder of GK Entertainment; I have a private friendship with Boss Shen, but it’s definitely not the type of relationship everyone imagines. I’ve not had an affair, nor have I cheated. Rumors only require one’s mouth to spread, but I hope everyone can judge the truth rationally."

[A GK shareholder??? Really or not???]

[Guys, I searched online, and it seems Qiao Xi is indeed a GK shareholder! Impressive!]

[So being shareholders proves your innocence? Why not answer directly why you were coming and going together?]

[To be fair, if you’re friends, going in and out together is quite normal. Haven’t you ever stayed at a friend of the opposite sex’s place?]

[A leading actress and a financial mogul—I’m shipping this!]

[Qiao Xi doesn’t deserve Shen Dang! Qiao Xi doesn’t deserve Shen Dang! Qiao Xi doesn’t deserve Shen Dang! Qiao Xi doesn’t deserve Shen Dang!]

[To the one saying Qiao Xi doesn’t deserve Boss Shen, do you think you’re worthy? xswl]

Seeing the tone of discussion veering off course, Qiao Xi smiled lightly and continued, "Boss Shen is my boss, dating in the workplace, ’dā miē,’ everyone, please don’t randomly ship CPs, be rational."

[Hahaha, the goddess saying ’dā miē’ is too cute!]

After stating all she had to say and addressing some questions from the live room, Qiao Xi ended the broadcast.

She exhaled, leaned back against the couch, and let her tense spirit gradually relax.

Her phone vibrated, Qiao Xi received a WeChat message from Shen Dang.

[Boss Shen: I’ve already cooperated with you.]

Qiao Xi: "?"

After a while, Shen Dang sent over a screenshot, and Qiao Xi instantly froze as she opened it.

She saw an account named [Shen Dangdang] with a yellow V verification had posted a Weibo: [Yes, we’re just friends now.]

Qiao Xi: "???"

Qiao Xi hurriedly searched for this account on Weibo.

It was clearly a newly registered account with just this one post, and the verified information below was the President of GK Entertainment.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Shen Dang had acted with lightning speed.

And was that cooperation serious?

Didn’t his words carry some ambiguity?

Clicking on the comments section, her eyelids twitched.

[Oh ho, just friends now? Not in the future?]
