Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Qiao Xi and Another Man

Shen Dang lowered his eyelids, "So, doesn’t that mean you’ll be staying with the film crew for quite a long time again?"

His expression was contained, making it hard for others to read him.

Qiao Xi nodded, "That’s correct."

Shen Dang asked, "Jiang City?"

"Not sure yet."

Many films and TV shows are indeed shot in Jiang City, but there are also many crews that shoot in various parts of the country.

Qiao Xi had read the script and it clearly wasn’t suitable to film in Jiang City unless the crew planned to use green screens for everything.

But for a movie with that background, it wasn’t appropriate to rely on green screens, and that’s why Qiao Xi was uncertain.

"As long as it’s not too far, it’s fine," Shen Dang said at a measured pace.

Qiao Xi’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "Hmm?"

She didn’t quite understand.

Did the distance matter to Boss Shen?

Shen Dang smiled at her with a lazy charm, "If you go too far, it’s inconvenient for me to visit you."

In the past, Shen Dang had always found excuses or other reasons to visit her on set, but now he didn’t need any excuses.

He just wanted to find her, to see her.

Nothing else mattered.

Just for her, for this one person.

Qiao Xi, catching the implied message in his words, felt a bit uneasy, lowering her gaze slightly, "Even if you come to visit, I won’t have time. It’s really busy on set."

Shen Dang saw her eyelashes flutter gently like the wings of a butterfly, casting shadows on her eyelids.

Which fell on her clear and fair skin, looking very adorable.

He leaned back on the sofa like a grand Buddha, with a strong presence, "If I don’t make an effort to show myself, you’ll have even more excuses to avoid me, won’t you?"

Qiao Xi suddenly looked up at him, inhaling sharply, "You can mess around with food, but not with words."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

Was she really as he described?

Shen Dang’s brows lifted slightly, glancing at her nonchalantly, "You can point out where I’m wrong."

Qiao Xi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Shen Dang, you’re so annoying."

Was that avoidance? It was... well, it was complicated!

Shen Dang chuckled with a hint of triumph, "Otherwise, you could just agree to me before joining the crew."

He was pressing her step by step.

Compared to his past subtlety, Boss Shen was now much more direct.

His previously ambiguous attitude already made her so immersed she couldn’t extricate herself, and now this clear stance left her defenseless.

From a covert charmer to an overt one.

Boss Shen could indeed change like this.

"I won’t agree."

Qiao Xi’s bright phoenix eyes looked at him, so clear that one glimpse seemed to reach the bottom of her heart.

Her words carried a bit of a defiant tone.

However, Shen Dang simply smiled, a casual and relaxed smile, clearly not taking her words seriously, "Then I’ll keep working hard."

The waiter brought up the dishes, and Qiao Xi focused on enjoying the lunch.

Having eaten here several times, Qiao Xi hadn’t grown tired of it.

That was probably one of the reasons Tan Garden was so coveted by the wealthy.

With Boss Shen around, things were indeed more convenient for her.

The two didn’t take long over their meal, and afterwards, Qiao Xi went to pay the bill.

The car was parked outside of Tan Garden, and they both got in.

As Shen Dang started the car, he asked, "Back to the company, or straight home?"

"Home," she replied.

Not long after Qiao Xi arrived home, she received a phone call from Chen Jiayan.

"Free this afternoon? Want to take a look at the layout of a house?"

After Qiao Xi mentioned wanting to buy a house, Chen Jiayan began paying attention to good properties for her, and he had personally visited some.

He called her only after he found something he liked.

"Yeah, I’m free. Let’s go have a look," Qiao Xi readily agreed.

Chen Jiayan chuckled, "You at home? I’ll come pick you up."

"I am."

"Okay, see you later."

Half an hour later, Chen Jiayan arrived at Sheng Birch Mansion to pick up Qiao Xi.

Chen Jiayan was looking at a large four-bedroom flat that had two living rooms, with both the rooms and the balcony offering views of Hai City’s river.

It was adjacent to the city center of Hai City.

The place was bustling.

The community was named Four Seasons Cloud Top, and Qiao Xi had checked the route; it wasn’t very far from where Sheng Chao and Su Tutu lived.

A ten-plus minute drive got them there.

The sales manager took Qiao Xi and Chen Jiayan upstairs to view the property.

The four-bedroom apartment was quite spacious, and even if she lived alone, it would be more than enough. The other rooms could also be put to good use.

The house faced from south to north, and had a good layout.

After viewing all four rooms, Qiao Xi seemed very satisfied.

Standing on the balcony, enjoying the river breeze, her face was the picture of contentment.

Leaning on the railing, Qiao Xi turned to Chen Jiayan, "Once this place is decorated, I’m thinking of putting the house in Sheng Birch Mansion up for sale."

Chen Jiayan’s eyes flickered subtly, "Not keeping it?"

Qiao Xi spoke indifferently, "No, I probably won’t go back to live there, and I don’t like renting it out. I’ll sell it when the time comes."

Qiao Zhenbin had visited her at Sheng Birch Mansion, and Qiao Xi wanted to completely sever ties with him, so she likely wouldn’t go back.

Four Seasons Cloud Top had much better security and privacy than Sheng Birch Mansion, and most importantly, Qiao Zhenbin didn’t know this place.

Chen Jiayan didn’t say much else but simply stated, "Let’s talk about selling it once the renovation here is finished. If you want to sell it then, I’ll help you list it."

Qiao Xi’s eyes curved, and she smiled lightly, "Thank you, Brother Jiayan."

This kind of unquestioning support, she felt, was key to maintaining a good relationship.

Within a certain boundary, it made her feel comfortable.

"Thank for what?" Chen Jiayan chuckled, "My mother’s anniversary is coming up soon. I’ll go with you to visit."

Qiao Xi’s expression briefly darkened, but it was fleeting, and she looked up, "Great, there’s something I want to tell her, too."

After finding the house to her liking, Qiao Xi immediately bought it.

Chen Jiayan said there were no issues, and Qiao Xi felt no need to look further.

Once the money was transferred out, the house was under her name.

As for the decoration and such, Qiao Xi expressed her preferred style, and Chen Jiayan would arrange for professionals to handle it.

She likely wouldn’t have much time to oversee the renovation process.

After all the paperwork was done, Qiao Xi and Chen Jiayan left.

Just as they walked out, Qiao Xi saw someone familiar approaching.

—Who is that?

The man opposite also recognized Qiao Xi, his step faltered slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted beneath his mask.

"Boss Qiao, what are you doing here?"

It was Jiang Yongge.

He was surprised, his eyes shifting between her and Chen Jiayan, "You buying a house here?" With another man?

Qiao Xi curved her lips, "Yes, I’ll be living here from now on."

"I didn’t expect Qin Mo also lives in this community, but in a different building. Looks like we’ll have many chances to meet in the future."

Qiao Xi wasn’t aware that Qin Mo lived here as well.

She replied nonchalantly, "What a coincidence."

But by the time she would move in, it would probably be at the end of the year or next year.

After a brief conversation, they parted ways.

Jiang Yongge watched the retreating figures of Qiao Xi and the man beside her, his gaze filled with inquiry.

The boss’s wife wasn’t looking at houses with her husband but with a man he didn’t recognize?

Jiang Yongge wasn’t sure if he should tell Shen Dang about this.

If he didn’t mention it and this got out, he might be in a sorry state for not reporting what he knew.

Maybe it was better to give the boss a heads up?
