Chapter 283: Chapter 283 I Believe in Boss Shen’s Character

"He really wasn’t speaking human language."

"You’re overthinking it again."

Qiao Xi glared at him and pushed him out, following him, then closed the bedroom door behind her.

She looked at him indifferently, "I believe in Boss Shen’s character."

After all, he had had many opportunities before.

Qiao Xi didn’t think she was that charming.

But clearly, she had overestimated Shen Dang.

Shen Dang responded with a click of his tongue, "I don’t even believe in myself."

He was no Liu Xiahui.

When facing the woman he liked, could he guarantee he wouldn’t do something to her?

If any man could guarantee that, it would be a lie.

Qiao Xi’s gaze was calm and cold as she firmly put a hat on his head, "I believe."

Shen Dang: "..."

He didn’t know how to respond to that.

It seemed like he couldn’t let her down now?

The weight of that hat was suffocating...

"Fine."

Shen Dang touched his nose.

"Then if you don’t drink the juice, I’ll go sober up."

Qiao Xi said, "I’ll do it."

Shen Dang pressed with his gaze, "You just sit."

"...Fine."

Shen Dang went to the kitchen to get a cup and a decanter.

Qiao Xi walked to the dining room where Shen Dang had already prepared dinner.

It was Chinese food, still lavish.

The ingredients that Assistant Gao bought last time hadn’t run out yet.

Shen Dang said they shouldn’t be wasted, so he went straight to her house after work.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to let him in.

Besides, she really felt takeout was tasteless now; her palate had become picky because of him.

Qiao Xi felt this was a planned manipulation.

Shortly after, Shen Dang came over with a cup.

Before Shen Dang could sober up the wine, Qiao Xi poured half a cup for herself and started drinking.

Shen Dang scrutinized her carefully, "What happened?"

Qiao Xi put the wine glass back on the table, propped her chin, and her phoenix eyes hazily looked at him, "You noticed?"

Her voice was light and airy.

"It’s not that I noticed..."

At least he didn’t know what had happened.

Shen Dang sat opposite Qiao Xi, lazily said, "It’s just odd for you to suggest drinking."

Her tolerance was laughable.

Ah, he saw through her.

Qiao Xi was not pleased, her lips twitched slightly, speaking indifferently, "It’s nothing big."

Shen Dang leaned back in his chair, his eyes lazily fixed on her, "If it’s nothing big then what is it?"

Her demeanor was clearly somewhat affected emotionally.

Qiao Xi lowered her eyes, her voice very calm, "Qu Keke saw Qiao Zhenbin taking Qiao Nan to a dinner party, and Qiao Nan was taken away."

Shen Dang couldn’t help but think of the previous incident where Qiao Zhenbin used Qiao Xi for a business marriage.

Now the same thing had happened to Qiao Nan...

"What happens to others doesn’t concern you," Shen Dang said, gazing intently at her, "You don’t have to interfere, don’t overthink, it’s none of your business. Of course, if you want to intervene, I can take you there now."

Human emotions are very complex.

Indescribable in words.

She could get involved out of compassion.

Or she could pretend not to know.

But no matter what she chose, it was her right.

Legally and morally, no one could blame her.

Qiao Xi shook her head, "I don’t care."

What does it have to do with her?

She wasn’t a saint.

Why should she meddle in strangers’ affairs?

She didn’t want any more connections with anyone from the Qiao Family.

"Let’s eat."

Qiao Xi picked up her chopsticks.

...

Elsewhere.

Qiao Nan was thrown onto the bed.

She was dazed, but the jolt woke her.

As she opened her eyes to this unfamiliar place, Qiao Nan confusedly tried to get up from the bed but quickly fell back.

Her body felt weak.

Something was wrong.

She clearly remembered having dinner with her father and his friend.

Why was she here?

What place was this?

"Stop struggling, your father has sold you to me, from now on, serve me well and forget about anything else."

Only then did Qiao Nan realize there was someone else here.

She struggled to sit up on the bed, and her pupils dilated when she saw the man in front of her.

This man was one of the executives at the dinner!

The man was undoing his shirt buttons, his disgusting gaze lingering on her.

Qiao Nan felt a shiver of fear creep up from her feet, "What are you doing?!"

She didn’t believe a word he said!

She wanted to find her father!

"You need to call my dad right now, you’re his friend, aren’t you? Send me home quickly!"

The man only gave her a cold laugh.

As he pounced toward her like a hungry tiger, Qiao Nan screamed in terror.

She flailed her arms and legs, but he still pinned her down.

"Help!"

Qiao Nan screamed, "Help!"

Was there nobody to rescue her?

"Stop yelling, no one will come to rescue you, you’ll only have good days with me!"

Qiao Nan’s mouth was covered, she couldn’t make a sound, she closed her eyes, and tears of despair streamed down.

Just then, the weight pressing on her suddenly disappeared.

"Who are you?"

The man, who was interrupted, was furious.

"Get lost!"

That voice...

Qiao Nan opened her eyes and when she saw the person in front of her, her eyes suddenly brightened, and the fear turned to joy.

Her body trembled, yet there was a sense of surviving a disaster, "Did you come to save me?"

...

Meanwhile, Qiao Xi had eaten her fill and drunk herself into a stupor.

This was the consequence of indulging herself.

Her head was swirling, but her consciousness was somewhat clear.

Shen Dang noticed her sitting quietly without causing trouble, he methodically cleaned up the dishes and took them to the kitchen.

Qiao Xi watched his tall silhouette disappear into the kitchen, her head drooped, and her flushed face rested on the table, her arms cushioning her.

Her face felt hot.

At least it wasn’t too uncomfortable.

Qiao Xi thought she shouldn’t have drunk.

This idea spun around in her head, unable to recall anything else.

When Shen Dang came out after washing the dishes and saw Qiao Xi still lying on the dining table, he walked over and gently patted her face.

His actions were indescribably gentle.

Even his usually cold eyes were warm now.

"Don’t tell me you’re drunk."

He found her state somewhat amusing.

Qiao Xi looked up at him, her eyes seemed blurry, yet her gaze was clear, "I’m not drunk."

Shen Dang: "..."

Can the words of a drunk person be trusted?

If only she had better tolerance, he wouldn’t suspect her so much.

"Oh." His eyes twinkled playfully, he nodded, "Since you’re not drunk, then get up. Are you planning to sleep in the dining room tonight?"

"You’re the one who’s drunk, how can anyone sleep in a dining room?" Qiao Xi felt exasperated and even questioned him back.

Her statement wasn’t incorrect, but this wasn’t like her usual self.

Normally, she would have snapped back at him: you’re the one sleeping in the dining room.

Things were clearly different now.

Shen Dang’s gaze lazily swept over her, "So you’re really not drunk?"
