My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 277: You are more familiar with other men than with me

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: You are more familiar with other men than with me

Shen Dang scoffed with self-derision in his deep voice.

He irritably raised his hand to adjust his collar, and his shirt, originally only slightly unbuttoned, lost another button.

With his movement, his chest and collarbones were exposed, his skin fair and shimmering under the light.

A wild charm radiated from him.

His expression was cold, his lips even curling into a faint sneer.

This Shen Dang was undoubtedly dangerous.

Before he could speak, Qiao Xi quickly said, "Jiayan was helping me manage my finances. He knows how much money I have, so I asked him to help me look for a house. We went there at noon after he found a suitable one, and I liked it and bought it straight away."

Her voice softened slightly, "It’s a small matter, I didn’t think it was necessary to bother you."

Qiao Xi still explained calmly.

He was clearly angry.

Though Qiao Xi didn’t know what he was angry about.

Was it unnecessary to bother him, so she went to bother Chen Jiayuan?

Shen Dang scoffed, "You seem to be quite close to this ’brother’ of yours."

Qiao Xi didn’t take offense at his sarcastic remark and straightforwardly admitted, "Yes, quite close, I’ve been calling him brother for over a decade."

Shen Dang’s peach blossom eyes scrutinized her, carrying a hint of evaluation.

She genuinely considered Chen Jiayuan her brother, but whether he considered her his real sister was unknown.

Shen Dang was jealous.

As a man, he was confident enough, but he was still jealous.

Shen Dang’s gaze was fierce, he did not want to be angry with her, so he suppressed his emotions well, just his breath showed some hints of darkness, "Is he a professional financial advisor? I am into investments, why didn’t you come to me? Are you being silly?"

Her relationship with Chen Jiayuan was too good, yet they had no blood relation.

Boss Shen was very unhappy.

"You’re the silly one!"

Qiao Xi couldn’t hold back and retorted.

What was her relationship with Chen Jiayuan, and what was her relationship with Shen Dang?

She wasn’t at a point where she had to engage in any financial dealings with Shen Dang, was she?

Qiao Xi thought it was normal to seek help from Chen Jiayuan.

In an indifferent command, Shen Dang said, "Retrieve all your money. I’ll manage your finances for you, including your shareholder dividends at GK; I guarantee the returns I generate will be double his. For professional matters, you should seek professionals."

Qiao Xi flatly refused, "No."

Shen Dang’s face darkened, "Why?"

Qiao Xi did not quite understand him, "Why should I? Everything’s fine as it is. Jiayan won’t embezzle my funds; I have no doubts about him."

Shen Dang stood hands on hips, squeezing out a smile through his teeth, "You think I care about that?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened slightly, "Then what do you mean?"

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, his voice tinged with a faint rage, "You’re closer to other men than you are to me."

Could he be happy about that?

Qiao Xi seemed to understand, yet not quite; she blinked, "Are you jealous?"

Shen Dang frowned, "Is it not obvious enough?"

"I and Brother Jiayan... never mind," Qiao Xi didn’t want to continue, she looked down, "I’m hungry, go sit down."

Shen Dang watched her for a few seconds before returning to his chair to sit down, facing Qiao Xi.

His dark eyes stared straight without flinching, "I hope that in the future, if there’s anything, you will come to me first, not someone else."

Qiao Xi opened her mouth to respond but feared triggering the seemingly temperamental man, so she chose to remain silent.

Shen Dang cut his steak, then suddenly looked up, "Do you need help with the new house’s renovations?"

Boss Shen wanted to contribute.

Not let Chen Jiayuan take all the credit.

Qiao Xi casually lifted her eyelids, her voice light, "Jiayan has already found someone for me, and I’m paying."

Shen Dang paused, then asked, "Is that person capable?"

Qiao Xi hesitated a few seconds and then said, "We’ll only know once we use them. If not, I’ll call you."

Would that be satisfactory?

Upon hearing her words, Shen Dang’s lips twitched slightly, the curve not very pronounced.

He kept his voice even and showed no other emotion, "Since it’s your own home, you should pay more attention."

"I know."

Shen Dang surveyed her current house, then his gaze shifted back to her, "What do you plan to do with this place?"

The location here was still good, just a bit small, and there was no subway nearby, nor was it a school district house.

If they had children in the future, they would need a place close to schools.

Near where he lived, No.1 Mansion, there were schools.

But he wasn’t sure if she would want to move there.

If not, he still had several properties in his name she could choose from.

Boss Shen did not feel at all that he was thinking too far ahead.

"I plan to sell it, not keeping it," Qiao Xi stated frankly.

Shen Dang glanced at her nonchalantly, "No more attachments to this house?"

Qiao Xi felt that home was where the heart was, not bound to any house.

Of course, she had emotional connections to this house, having lived here for over two years, to say she had none was impossible.

But that did not affect her decision to sell the house.

Qiao Xi spoke very calmly, "Moving to a place Qiao Zhenbin doesn’t know about."

"When the time comes, I’ll have someone list the house for you."

"...Okay."

After dinner, Shen Dang suddenly received a call.

After hanging up, he directly told Qiao Xi, "I have to go due to an urgent matter."

Seeing him rush off, Qiao Xi didn’t ask what it was about but simply nodded, "Hmm."

Shen Dang went to the hallway to change his shoes.

Qiao Xi approached him, observing his thoughtful expression, she quietly asked, "Have you been drinking? Will you be driving yourself?"

Shen Dang replied calmly, "I called a designated driver. I have some matters to handle, I’ll return later."

Qiao Xi: "...You better not come back."

Shen Dang stood up, rubbed Qiao Xi’s head, "If it’s early enough, I’ll be back."

Shen Dang left her home.

The dinner table was already tidy.

The hustle died down, leaving the house feeling empty. Qiao Xi sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

As the sound came on, the lively atmosphere seemed to return.

Meanwhile, Shen Dang had returned to Shen Family Mansion.

Old Madam somehow got into contact with Chu Wan, who informed the Old Madam of her pregnancy.

Old Madam, misunderstanding that Chu Wan was pregnant with Shen Dang’s child, caused a commotion at home.

Old Master Shen couldn’t control the situation.

Shen Dang was a bit annoyed but still had to head to the Shen Family Mansion.

Qiao Xi didn’t know what Shen Dang was busy with, but he did not show up at her house again that night.

The next day, Qiao Xi saw no messages from Shen Dang on her phone.

By noon, she heard news about the Shen Family from a rich lady friend—not much, though.

She only heard that Chu Wan had caused a disturbance at the Shen family, and the Old Madam was very protective of her.

That rich lady might have wanted to pry more information from Qiao Xi, but she knew no more details.

After hanging up the phone, she didn’t go ask Shen Dang what he was doing about it.
