Chapter 276: Chapter 276: I’m Not Suspecting You Have Another Man

I’ve never seen anyone so presumptuous.

Boss Shen was probably busy with work, it took a while before he replied to the message.

[Boss Shen: You’re about to join the crew, shouldn’t we cultivate our relationship? Did you agree to let me pursue you just to deceive me?]

That question was quite clever.

She hadn’t lied to him.

She just wondered, do other men act like this when pursuing women?

Her phone vibrated again.

[Boss Shen: You must be tired of the food at Tan Garden, I haven’t cooked in a while. Teacher Qiao, shall I give it a go?]

No, she wasn’t tired of it.

[Boss Shen: When you have time, you can pick out the vegetables, and I can cook them when I get off work.]

Quite the planner.

But Shen Dang’s actions really made Qiao Xi feel like they were an old married couple.

And it wasn’t the first time she felt this way.

But looking inside the fridge, Qiao Xi had no idea where to begin.

After all, who knew what he would want to eat tonight?

So naturally, Qiao Xi replied to Shen Dang: [No time, and I don’t know how. I can order takeout.]

[Boss Shen: Takeout isn’t healthy.]

He complained about so many things.

[Boss Shen: Then just sit tight and wait for me to cook.]

Qiao Xi stared at his message for a long time without shifting her gaze, slightly dazed.

Until the phone screen completely dimmed, reflecting her slightly bewildered, cold face.

Qiao Xi sighed lightly, suppressing the emotions that were bubbling up inside her.

Sitting on the couch, she was about to doze off when suddenly she heard the doorbell from outside.

She was instantly alert, sitting up and looking toward the door.

It must be Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi rubbed her face and walked over to open the door.

Outside indeed stood Shen Dang.

Shen Dang looked at her, suddenly flicked her forehead, and then casually withdrew his hand.

With no remorse for his misdeed.

Qiao Xi took a step back, holding her forehead, and glared: "What are you doing?"

It didn’t hurt; it was just his sudden action that annoyed her.

Was this man asking for trouble?

Shen Dang walked in, his gaze once again falling on her face, with a casual smile: "Feeling sleepy?"

Qiao Xi pinched his arm, vented and didn’t say a word, then turned and walked to the living room.

Next time he flicks her forehead, she’ll pinch him back!

Mutually assured destruction.

Shen Dang hissed, that pinch actually did hurt.

But the pain soon passed.

Watching Qiao Xi’s cold back, Shen Dang bent down again and donned those cute fluffy slippers.

Rolling up his sleeves, he walked towards the kitchen, nonchalantly saying: "I’m going to cook, just sit and wait for a bit, and try not to fall asleep."

Qiao Xi gave him a cold glare.

Watching Shen Dang’s tall figure enter the kitchen, the typically proud and regal Boss Shen kept lowering himself to cook for her.

Slowly, he was taking over her space.

Until now, she felt it was entirely normal for him to be at her place.

Like a frog being slowly boiled in warm water, he merged seamlessly into her life, gradually breaking down her defenses.

Qiao Xi felt she was about to lose control of her impulses.

This damn man was indeed toxic!

Unable to hold back, Qiao Xi got up and walked towards the kitchen.

She leaned against the doorway, watching the busy man: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

His tall and upright figure exuded a captivating aura.

Shen Dang turned his head to look at her, lifting his eyebrows with a lazy, indifferent smile: "Just sit and wait for the meal."

He seemed quite relaxed.

Qiao Xi pressed her lips together: "So, what are you making tonight?"

"I asked Assistant Gao to buy some steak. I’m making steak tonight."

His voice lifted at the end, his dark eyes deepening: "Didn’t you check the fridge to see what’s inside?"

Qiao Xi matter-of-factly said: "Nope."

Shen Dang dismissed her: "Get out then."

Out she went.

Qiao Xi huffed a soft snort as she walked out.

Hearing her almost inaudible snort, Shen Dang softly clicked his tongue.

Does she have an attitude now?

Soon Shen Dang had dinner ready.

When Qiao Xi came to the dining room, she saw Shen Dang waking a bottle of wine, with steaks and side dishes neatly arranged on the plates.

She hadn’t even reached the table when she smelled the subtle fragrance, making her mouth water.

Qiao Xi looked up at Shen Dang, her eyes clear: "Is there anything you can’t do?"

He had mastered both Chinese and Western cuisines.

"Of course, there are things I can’t do. After all, I’m not a professional chef."

Boss Shen was very modest.

Qiao Xi couldn’t understand how a noble gentleman and an overbearing boss could be such a good cook.

She sat down, picking up the knife and fork.

Shen Dang then poured the wine into the glass in front of her.

The steak was juicy and chewy, with a distinctive flavor.

Qiao Xi took a sip of her wine.

The two paired together created a delightful reaction.

Shen Dang’s dark eyes fixed on her, his voice low: "I heard you bought a house at Four Seasons Cloud Top?"

At his words, Qiao Xi nearly spit out the wine she had just drunk, in an emergency still not avoiding getting choked.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Shen Dang didn’t expect her to react so strongly, he got up from his chair, came over to Qiao Xi and patted her back.

Qiao Xi pushed his hand away, moving her body to the side.

The resistance was quite clear.

Shen Dang’s shadow completely enveloped her, his voice lazily carried a hint of amusement: "Why are you so excited? I’m not suspecting you have another man."

Qiao Xi: "..."

See, was that something someone would say?

As Qiao Xi recovered, she glared at Shen Dang, her voice somewhat chilly: "How did you know?"

She had bought the house just a few hours ago, and he already knew?

Shen Dang dryly said: "If I care for you, naturally, I’d know."

Yeah right!

Qiao Xi smirked coldly: "Movie Emperor Jiang told you, right?"

"Hmm."

Shen Dang quickly sold out Jiang Yongge.

Narrowing his eyes, his gaze sharp and narrow: "Your overreaction almost seems like you’re doing something behind my back."

Qiao Xi was so annoyed she laughed, sarcastically said: "Yes, yes, I’m doing something behind your back."

Shen Dang suddenly leaned towards her, one hand on the back of her chair, the other supporting the table, his presence turning slightly menacing: "Even though I know you’re saying this deliberately, I still don’t like hearing it."

His sudden change scared Qiao Xi a bit.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she pushed him away but couldn’t move him.

His chest was rock solid, his shirt seeming to wrap around a burst of masculine energy.

Qiao Xi leaned back slightly: "Stay away from me."

Shen Dang straightened up but didn’t move an inch.

His deep eyes slightly downcast, his gaze on her, half-smiling: "I was just wondering why you didn’t ask me when you went to buy the house."

Seeing her puzzled look, Shen Dang’s flawless face darkened: "Didn’t you ever think to ask me?"

Qiao Xi had to tilt her head back to see him clearly, seeing signs of his anger, she tilted her head: "Why should I ask you?"
