My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day -
Chapter 29 If you really think I’m good, kiss me.
Chapter 29: Chapter 29 If you really think I’m good, kiss me.
Besides this reason, she had no other reason.
She didn’t want Qiao Zhenbin to have an easy time, nor did she want the Qiao Family to have it easy. Does that count?
But Qiao Xi didn’t plan on telling Shen Dang.
These troublesome matters had nothing to do with Shen Dang, anyway.
"Huh." Shen Dang chuckled softly, a faint smile playing across his eyes, making even his perfect features seem to come alive. On closer inspection, a layer of indescribable gloom lingered: "That, of course, won’t do."
Even though it was within her expectations, hearing Shen Dang unhesitatingly decline, Qiao Xi still felt a sourness in her chest: "Alright then, so are you planning to invest in him?"
If Shen Dang helped him, things would become very difficult for her.
Shen Dang glanced at her, his meaning unclear: "I’m a businessman."
Since he was a businessman, he would naturally make the choice most beneficial to himself.
Qiao Xi lowered her gaze, her curled lashes casting shadows over the cold light hidden in her eyes: "Understood."
The Qiao Family residence was located in the well-known wealthy district on the eastern side of Hai City, a single-detached villa with good privacy and exquisite scenery, a neighborhood where many from the business circles and social elites lived.
The car twisted and turned and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
Qiao Zhenbin and his family of three waited at the entrance.
Seeing their arrangement, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but reveal a hint of scorn.
"Ah Dang, you’ve arrived." Seeing Shen Dang get out of the car, Qiao Zhenbin immediately greeted him, his attitude very warm.
Qiao Xi was still sitting inside the car. Shen Dang, through the windshield, watched her, a mute chuckle escaping him. Fine, he’d play along with her.
Shen Dang walked around the front of the car, pulled open the passenger door, and when Qiao Xi got out, he even raised his hand to block her head.
The man’s meticulous and gentle, arrogantly tender gestures made Qiao Nan on the side practically die of jealousy!
When exactly would they divorce?!
"Husband, you’re so kind." Qiao Xi tilted her head, a serene smile on her face; she was fully in character.
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, his voice low and seductive, "If you really think I’m good, kiss me?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
She silently gritted her teeth; this damn man was doing this on purpose again, intentionally trying to take advantage of her!
Qiao Xi glanced at the few people around and lightly punched Shen Dang, deliberately adopting a coy demeanor: "What nonsense are you talking about, let’s talk about such things in private."
Shen Dang felt as if that punch had hit him right in the heart.
He looked at Qiao Xi’s pretentious demeanor and actually found her a bit damn cute!
Shen Dang curved his lips into a lazy smile: "Sure, you owe me one when we get home."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi caught sight of Qiao Nan’s pufferfish-like infuriated face. Although Shen Dang was doggish, she was quite happy.
"Fine." She replied languidly.
Shen Dang gestured to her with his arm.
Qiao Xi linked her arm with his.
The two of them appeared both affectionate and well-suited for each other.
Qiao Zhenbin, seeing Shen Dang’s behavior towards Qiao Xi, was of course delighted. It seemed that even Shen Dang could not escape Qiao Xi’s beauty.
However vast his business empire, even heroes would bow before beauty.
"Good you’re here, come on in, we’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner."
Wang Wen added with a smile: "Yes, knowing that you two were coming back, your father had the kitchen prepare for quite a while."
Qiao Nan looked at Shen Dang, her eyes practically glued to him: "It’s just that Sister and Brother Dang have been married so long, and it’s the first time coming home, people might think you two aren’t close."
Brother Dang must have been forced to marry Qiao Xi!
She must help them divorce!
Wang Wen scolded: "Nannan, don’t talk nonsense."
"You should really teach your daughter some manners," Shen Dang scoffed with a chilling presence that intimidated, "I’m Qiao Xi’s husband—no matter what, she should call me brother-in-law, right?"
What Brother Dang, that pretentious voice, what kind of devilry is that?
"Ah Dang is right, Nannan, you really don’t understand propriety," Qiao Zhenbin’s face wasn’t looking good.
"I..."
"And," Shen Dang’s eyes filled with a thick layer of mockery, "President Qiao, better call me President Shen. I’m a big boss now too, this Ah Dang, Ah Dang calling doesn’t fit my current persona, does it?"
Damn persona, Shen Dang was quite something!
Hearing Shen Dang say this, Qiao Xi couldn’t restrain her laughter.
Qiao Zhenbin really did consider himself Shen Dang’s father-in-law.
Seeing their ashen faces, Qiao Xi felt pretty good inside.
"Yes, yes, yes," Qiao Zhenbin couldn’t dare to assert himself in front of Shen Dang.
Shen Dang, satisfied, sauntered leisurely into the living room.
His long legs, defined perfectly by the fine tailoring of his suit trousers, a broad shoulder and narrow waist made for a perfection that induced screams.
And Qiao Xi, walking beside him, was no less imposing in stature and aura.
Qiao Xi hadn’t been back for two years; Qiao Zhenbin had never called her home, and she wouldn’t come without a reason.
She had actually been very busy with work these past two years, with no extra time to dwell on this marriage or these life trivialities.
The dream of a young married woman was still to conquer the stars and the sea, not to indulge in romantic trifles.
When Qiao Xi married Shen Dang, not even a wedding was held. The two families had never sat down for a meal together—formalism at its peak.
And now, the table was full of delicacies.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Xi felt it increasingly ironic.
Shen Dang swept a glance: "Indeed quite lavish, President Qiao has been thoughtful."
Qiao Zhenbin smiled: "It’s rare for you to come back, let’s eat."
Silence is golden at the dining table, and despite Qiao Zhenbin’s eagerness, he didn’t let it show.
Shen Dang really acted like he was there to eat, relaxed and casual. Watching Qiao Xi eat daintily, he patted her head and instructed: "Look how thin you are, eat more, or else people might think I’ve been mistreating you."
Qiao Xi gave him a secret eye roll, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness: "I know you treat me well, you should eat more too."
Just as pretentious, Shen Dang found her within the range of what he could accept.
He nodded in good spirits: "Want some crab?"
"I don’t want to peel it." Qiao Xi languidly: "Will you peel it for me?"
"Why not."
Shen Dang methodically extracted the crabmeat, neatly arranged on a small plate, then set it in front of Qiao Xi.
"Eat."
Qiao Xi paused for a second before accepting plainly.
He was willing to peel; why shouldn’t she eat?
It would be a waste!
Shen Dang’s peach blossom eyes bore a touch of fondness.
Wang Wen watched the scene in disbelief.
Qiao Zhenbin, however, grew increasingly satisfied. The more Shen Dang cared for Qiao Xi, the more opportunity he had.
After dinner, Qiao Zhenbin found an excuse to call Shen Dang to the study.
Qiao Xi sat in the downstairs living room.
Wen Wen prepared tea on the side: "Xixi, aren’t you curious what your father and Ah Dang are discussing?"
Qiao Xi, cool and aloof, her eyes on her phone, had no intention to bother with her, but still raised her gaze upon hearing this, smiling wryly: "Didn’t you hear what Shen Dang said earlier? To call him Ah Dang, you’re not yet entitled, don’t let others mock our family again."
That little wretch was here to provoke her!
Wang Wen still smiled: "After all, it doesn’t change the fact that we’re family, does it?"
