Chapter 306: Chapter 305: If You Don’t Like It, I Won’t Do It Next Time

After finishing their night snack, Shen Dang generously picked up the tab before nonchalantly holding Qiao Xi’s hand as they walked out of the alley.

The light from the street light stretched their shadows long.

Qiao Xi glanced down at their overlapping shadows in front of her, a smile slowly creeping up the corners of her eyes and brows.

The night breeze was too gentle tonight, feeling comfortable against the skin.

Qiao Xi also felt unusually relaxed.

The alley wasn’t long, and they quickly reached the end.

Boss Shen let out a light tsk, somewhat reluctant to leave since the walk had come to an end so quickly.

The Maybach was parked by the side of the road.

It was only when they reached the car that Shen Dang finally let go of Qiao Xi’s hand.

Shen Dang reached out to open the car door and waited for Qiao Xi to get in before he got into the driver’s seat and drove off.

The bright streetlights stretched out endlessly, with no end in sight.

Shen Dang glanced over at Qiao Xi, who was looking down, and he could only make out the distinct contours of her beautiful face.

"Xixi."

"Hm?"

Qiao Xi responded instinctively, lifting her gaze to look at Shen Dang.

It seemed like the first time he said the name "Xixi" with such a tone, usually with a touch of gentleness.

As if it wasn’t the first time those words had left his lips.

The mere action was somehow heart-stirring.

Seeing that Shen Dang didn’t speak, Qiao Xi frowned slightly, her expression strange, "What did you call me for?"

He lazily smiled, "Is the filming for your new project still happening in Jiang City?"

"No," Qiao Xi said blandly, "we have to go to the Northwest and run around several places; it won’t be in Jiang City."

The setting of the film was grand yet realistic. The director and crew had already scouted locations; her first stop would be a small town in Sucheng.

The opening ceremony was also going to be there.

"Tsk."

The Northwest, that was somewhat far.

How would he make occasional visits to the set now?

He wasn’t pleased but didn’t show it, saying nonchalantly, "I’ll take you to the airport when the time comes."

Qiao Xi didn’t refuse, "...Okay."

Shen Dang smiled.

Even though Shen Dang wished the road could go on forever, the car eventually stopped below Qiao Xi’s residential building.

Upon seeing the familiar estate, Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Then I’ll go up first. You be careful driving back."

Shen Dang’s dark eyes gazed at her, his eyelid corners lifting slightly in a flirtatious manner, "Aren’t you forgetting something?"

"What?"

Qiao Xi was clueless.

Shen Dang pointed to his cheek, his hint more than clear.

Qiao Xi caught on immediately, "...No way!"

She was expected to kiss him?

This man, so presumptuous!

"How could you say no? A goodbye kiss from a girlfriend to her boyfriend, what’s wrong with that?"

Shen Dang’s eyes squinted with a mischievous smirk as he leaned back in his seat, looking completely laid back.

Qiao Xi was speechless, this person really had a way of always bringing up the terms boyfriend and girlfriend.

How shameless.

Qiao Xi said irritably, "There is a problem, a big problem!"

Hadn’t he kissed her enough just now?

Shen Dang laughed carelessly, "Oh? What’s the problem?"

Boss Shen naturally didn’t see any problem.

Was it strange for a normal man to have such impulses?

Qiao Xi glared at him, unwilling to entertain his behavior, "I refuse to answer that question. Quit being unreasonable."

As she spoke, she unbuckled her seatbelt.

This only gave Shen Dang an opportunity.

He reached out, pulled Qiao Xi close, and before she could react, he leaned down to seal her lips with his.

His breath, still touching her lips as he spoke, felt scorching, "If you won’t give it, then I’ll just take it."

And with that, he kissed her.

The ambiguous and tender atmosphere grew wild like weeds, frenziedly twining through the car, as if trying to escape outside.

Qiao Xi: "???"

This damned man!

Shen Dang held her in the kiss for a while before letting go.

But their faces remained very close.

Their breaths mingled, and the air inside the car ignited, turning hot in an instant as if a flame had thoroughly combusted.

Qiao Xi’s fingers fumbled continuously with her seatbelt, her eyes flickering, looking down, too shy to meet his gaze.

Shen Dang touched her head with a trace of reluctance. "Alright, head up now, it’s getting late."

Though they had been intimate a few times, Qiao Xi still felt both embarrassed and annoyed, regretting not biting him hard earlier.

He was far too domineering!

This damned man had seemed so cold and austere before, and she couldn’t understand how he had become like this.

She might as well consider that she had been bitten by a dog.

Huffing, she pushed open the car door and got out.

Shen Dang also got out of the car, striding forward to grab Qiao Xi’s wrist. "Xixi, are you angry?"

Qiao Xi turned to look at him then quickly cast her gaze downward again, her thick lashes casting a shadow on her fair skin, "No."

Shen Dang scrutinized her, his tone suddenly serious, "If you’re angry, tell me. I want these things to be consensual."

Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes clear as water, her voice somewhat helpless, "I’m really not angry."

Where was the anger in her?

It wasn’t that kind of anger.

How could she explain it?

Shen Dang felt like she had scratched his heart, "I’m afraid of making you angry, but I just can’t help wanting to be closer to you."

Qiao Xi didn’t respond.

His words stirred something strange in her, an indescribable itchiness.

Shen Dang’s eyes still fixated on Qiao Xi’s face, said helplessly, "If you don’t like it, I won’t do it again next time."

He wanted her to be happy.

He wanted these moments to be pleasurable for her.

Not just his own joy.

Qiao Xi paused before stuttering, "I... I don’t, not like it..."

If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t have agreed to be his girlfriend.

Wasn’t that contradictory?

Qiao Xi wished she could slap herself for speaking.

What on earth was she saying?

Why had she even voiced it?

Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, his eyes brimming with mirth as if to get a clear answer, "So that means you’re willing?"

Wasn’t he asking the obvious?

Qiao Xi, keeping a straight face, shook off his hand.

Shen Dang pulled her into his arms and held her lightly, his voice soft and nonchalant, "Go up, get some rest, goodnight."

Without hesitation, Qiao Xi turned and walked away.

Shen Dang leaned casually against the car, watching her leave until she was out of sight, then he returned to the car.

...

In the days leading up to Qiao Xi joining the film crew, Shen Dang would come to find her after work.

Purportedly, it was to cultivate their relationship, seizing every chance to hug and kiss her.

These past days didn’t necessarily lead to a significant development in their relationship, but Qiao Xi had grown accustomed to Shen Dang’s occasional shamelessness and clinginess.

Until the time came for her to join the crew, Qiao Xi took a flight to Sucheng a day in advance.

Bright and early, Shen Dang arrived at the base of Qiao Xi’s residential building.

The sky wasn’t fully light yet.

Watching Qiao Xi get into the car, Shen Dang handed her a bag of breakfast.

"Eat first, then we’ll go."

Qiao Xi took it, "Have you eaten?"
