My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day

Chapter 281: Chapter 281 At this moment, you need an embrace

"The mirror shattered, cutting my hand. Even if the mirror could be glued back together, the wound would heal, but could we pretend nothing had ever happened?"

"No."

"The mirror would have cracks, the wound would leave scars."

"Once broken, it’s broken; once hurt, it’s hurt. It can’t be restored, and we can’t go back to the beginning."

"No one could forgive her deceased mother."

"Neither could she."

Qiao Xi said calmly, "Let’s go."

Qiao Xi no longer wanted to argue with Qiao Zhenbin.

She glanced sideways at Shen Dang, the chill in her eyes gradually dissipating.

"Mhm."

It was then that Shen Dang finally let go of her hand.

Before getting into the car, Shen Dang gave Qiao Zhenbin a cold look.

Qiao Zhenbin was somewhat intimidated by that look.

Chen Jiayan also got into the car.

The two cars left, one after the other.

Qiao Zhenbin watched the speeding cars, his figure suddenly swaying uncontrollably.

By the time they returned to the city, it was already late.

Shen Dang took Qiao Xi out for dinner and then drove her home.

After seeing Qiao Zhenbin, Qiao Xi wasn’t in a good mood.

Watching her silently get out of the car, Shen Dang also got out.

"Qiao Xi."

The wind gently blew the hem of Qiao Xi’s shirt.

Like a night-blooming jasmine swaying in the night breeze.

Seeing the look she gave him, Shen Dang smiled slightly, "Remember I mentioned I wanted to take you somewhere?"

Qiao Xi wasn’t so forgetful.

She nodded, "Mhm."

Shen Dang lazily smiled, "Shall we go tomorrow?"

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, "What place is it, exactly?"

"You’ll know when we get there."

"I won’t go."

After saying this, Qiao Xi planned to go upstairs.

Shen Dang suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to stop, irritation evident in her delicate features, "What now?"

Shen Dang pulled her into his embrace.

His large palm cradled her head, patting it gently.

His low voice reached her ears, "Just hugging you, to give you strength."

His warm breath also caressed her ear, giving her a tingling sensation.

Qiao Xi shivered.

She pushed him away, but couldn’t budge him.

"Are you kidding me?"

Qiao Xi said in annoyance.

Shen Dang said nonchalantly, "You need an embrace right now."

Qiao Xi, "No, I don’t."

Shen Dang pressed her head against his shoulder.

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, then the next second, she stepped on his foot.

Shen Dang winced with pain and let her go, his dark eyes filled with a trace of resentment, "Did you step on me?"

Qiao Xi snorted, "You should be glad I’m not wearing high heels today, or your foot would be punctured."

"Tsk."

Shen Dang felt this woman could be truly fierce when she wanted to be.

Seeing her angry expression, Shen Dang gave a lazy smile, pursuing the question, "So, are you going tomorrow or not?"

"No, I don’t want to move." Qiao Xi’s eyes drooped, her expression listless.

He didn’t say where it was.

Who knows what place it is?

"Okay then."

Shen Dang rubbed the top of her head, his voice carrying a hint of resignation, "It’s not completely finished yet anyway. There will always be a chance to take you there in the future."

Qiao Xi, "..."

Still acting mysterious.

Qiao Xi was a bit curious, but it was only a little bit, not enough to pique her interest.

Qiao Xi said expressionlessly, "I’m going up now."

"Mhm."

Shen Dang’s eyes were deep with emotion as he watched her enter the building. He then returned to his car.

...

Qiao Zhenbin felt unwell and didn’t go to see Cen Ya. He drove straight back to the city and went to the hospital for a full-body check-up.

He was afraid of dying.

The results eventually revealed it was just slightly high blood pressure, which finally allowed Qiao Zhenbin to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, Wang Wen and Qiao Nan were both gone from the Qiao Family.

He didn’t bother to check where they had gone or how they were now.

While he still had money, Qiao Zhenbin planned to start a business. However, when he reached out to his former partners, some said they were too busy to meet him, others simply didn’t answer his calls.

Finally, one boss told him the truth.

He wanted to start a business in Hai City, but that was impossible.

Shen Dang had spread the word that anyone who worked with Qiao Zhenbin would be confronting the Shen Family and IDC Capital.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to collaborate with Qiao Zhenbin.

The Qiao Family’s luck had long since run out; no one was willing to risk their fortune to work with Qiao Zhenbin.

After learning this, Qiao Zhenbin was so angry he picked up an antique from the shelf with the intent to smash it.

However, realizing the antique was valuable, he reluctantly put it back gently.

Qiao Zhenbin considered that he still had a daughter. Even if she couldn’t achieve greatness or become a big star like Qiao Xi, she still had some utilitarian value.

He could have married Qiao Xi off to Shen Dang to save Qiao’s, and now he could still marry off Qiao Nan for some valuable benefits.

A daughter was supposed to be sacrificed for her father.

Moreover, Wang Wen had betrayed him.

Qiao Zhenbin felt no burden in using her.

He immediately called Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan hesitated before answering, "Dad."

Even though the matter was in the past, Qiao Nan was still somewhat angry.

Qiao Zhenbin apologized while cajoling her, "Nannan, dad’s attitude was wrong before, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my mistake. You’re the only daughter I have now. Where are you living? Why not come back home?"

Qiao Nan fell silent.

She was currently living in a villa in the name of Chu Xiuyun.

There were servants taking care of her daily, and when she went shopping, the butler provided her with money. Qiao Nan didn’t want to go back to the Qiao home.

Once there, she’d be reminded of everything that had happened.

She used to have a happy and beautiful family, which now seemed utterly ridiculous.

Moreover, she had been driven out by Qiao Zhenbin. Having lived well and comfortably, Qiao Nan didn’t consider returning at all.

"Nannan, could you really leave your dad alone?" Qiao Zhenbin pled with even more sorrow.

Qiao Nan soft-hearted at the thought of how well Qiao Zhenbin had treated her, "Dad, I... "

Qiao Zhenbin, excited at her response, "Where are you? Can dad come to pick you up and bring you home?"

Qiao Nan certainly wouldn’t tell him her location, "No need, dad, I’ll come back on my own tomorrow."

"Mhm."

Qiao Zhenbin was relieved, "I know you are a good daughter, I’ll wait for you at home tomorrow."

After hanging up, Qiao Zhenbin immediately started contacting people to see who would be willing to marry his daughter.

At the same time, Qiao Nan also made a call to Chu Xiuyun.

Chu Xiuyun had brought her to this villa on that night and then left. He hadn’t appeared since.

She didn’t understand Chu Xiuyun’s intentions.

But she was somewhat afraid of Young Master Chu.

After several rings, the call was answered on the other end.

Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Chu."

"What’s the matter?" Chu Xiuyun’s voice was emotionless.

Qiao Nan cautiously said, "My dad called me and asked me to go home."

Chu Xiuyun laughed indifferently, "I’ve already said, you can leave if you want, you don’t need to tell me."

"...You’re not angry?"

Chu Xiuyun retorted, "Why should I be angry?"
