Chapter 320: Chapter 319 Does Paula Know About You and Ah Dang

Qiao Xi was bemused, "What’s wrong?"

Qu Jiashu asked, "Does Paula know about you and Ah Dang?"

Qiao Xi suddenly fell silent.

The arranged marriage she’d had with Shen Dang had only circulated among Hai City’s upper circles.

Fearing Xie Baola would worry, she had yet to utter a word about it.

She had once thought that she would simply divorce Shen Dang when their agreement expired, never considering that one day she might fall in love with Boss Shen.

This was totally unexpected.

Qiao Xi’s eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a touch of guilt, "No one would have told Paula about me and Boss Shen, right?"

Shen Dang, hearing Qiao Xi mention his name, raised his brows slightly with a hint of interest.

What was she saying about him?

Was he not allowed to hear?

Shen Dang blatantly moved closer to Qiao Xi’s phone, trying to catch what the person on the other line was saying.

Qiao Xi cast him a glance with clear eyes, her gaze odd—what was this man doing?

Shen Dang raised his eyebrows at her, the message clear.

"I want to listen."

There was nothing about him he couldn’t hear.

Qiao Xi understood his lip-reading.

She was speechless.

Qu Jiashu naturally didn’t know Shen Dang’s shenanigans over here, "If you don’t tell her, no one will go tell Paula about it."

If Xie Baola knew about it, she would have probably come back from abroad earlier, she wouldn’t have waited to return after completing her studies.

After all, her Little Chili temperament was well-known.

The Xie family’s daughter had her pride.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, "Mhm, I’ll tell Paula about it when the time comes."

Qu Jiashu smiled faintly, "Okay, as long as you are aware, Paula won’t really blame you."

He merely felt sorry for her.

Qiao Xi hung up the phone.

Shen Dang took her phone and set it aside.

Qiao Xi watched him with a puzzled look, his expression rather stern, "What are you doing?"

Shen Dang, righteous and stern, his dark pupils fixed on her, questioned, "Is the phone more important than me?"

Qiao Xi snapped out of it, her phoenix eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, "Boss Shen, are you really comparing yourself to a phone?"

Seeing him like this, she indeed found it amusing.

"Yes!"

He pronounced the word so clearly without the slightest ambiguity.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Was he being unreasonable again?

And he had the audacity to say yes?

Shen Dang grasped her fingers, his voice lazy, "What were you saying just now? I heard my name mentioned."

Her hands were slender, nails rounded and pretty, each finger as pale as peeled onions, skin smooth as cream.

Shen Dang watched and wound his fingers through hers.

Ever since their relationship had become official, Shen Dang enjoyed interlocking fingers with her.

It felt like it brought them even closer together.

They say fingers are connected to the heart.

Their entwined fingers must be the closest to the heart.

"It was nothing much," Qiao Xi let him play with her hand, "just that Paula doesn’t know about us."

"Then tell her?"

Shen Dang knew she got along well with Xie Baola.

Even though Baola had been away from Hai City for years, her reputation still lingered.

A girlfriend’s best friend deserves some respect, of course.

Qiao Xi nodded and smiled at him, "Of course, I’ll tell her."

...

When Shen Dang left Qiao Xi’s place, he still called Qu Jiashu.

Qu Jiashu joked, "What’s up? Shouldn’t you be with Xixi right now?"

Shen Dang didn’t address this, instead, his tone was casual, "I heard you called Xixi."

Qu Jiashu’s voice was teasing, "What do you want to ask?"

Shen Dang’s slender fingers casually tapped on the steering wheel, his voice light with three simple words, "Xie Baola."

Qu Jiashu paused, "What about Paula?"

Qu Jiashu didn’t know why he’d asked about Xie Baola out of the blue.

Those two were supposed to have no overlap.

The Shen Family, a prestigious family of Hai City, traditionally had nothing to do with the once criminally-involved Xie family.

Even surrounded by the same circle of friends, there were those who just didn’t mingle.

If they ever ended up at the same event, they wouldn’t exchange a word.

Xie Baola and Shen Dang were just like that.

Shen Dang’s eyes narrowed, a hint of displeasure in his dark pupils, "Does Xie Baola have any comments about me and Xixi’s affair?"

Qu Jiashu sighed, "Maybe, probably. You don’t know how much Baola dotes on Xixi."

"Dotes?"

Shen Dang’s voice turned noticeably icy.

His girlfriend needed another woman to dote on her?

Even through the phone, Qu Jiashu could feel the danger in his tone.

"It’s the kind of doting between best friends!"

Qu Jiashu felt compelled to elaborate.

Otherwise, who knew what this jealous man might do.

It was ridiculous, him being jealous of a woman.

Before Shen Dang, Baola had always been that way with Qiao Xi, though Qu Jiashu didn’t voice this thought.

Shen Dang snorted softly, "Go on."

"If you and Xixi have an arranged marriage, Aunt Shen warned everyone not to spread the word. Baola probably doesn’t know about it, either. Xixi hasn’t told her. Think about it, if she knew her best friend ended up like this, could she sit still?"

"Hm?" Shen Dang pondered his words, his eyebrows raised coldly, his voice deep, "Ended up like what?"

Qu Jiashu detected a whiff of danger again.

He quickly said, "I’m not saying anything about you guys; aren’t you now in a romantic relationship? A consensual affair, Baola can’t say much. It’s just that Xixi owes her an explanation."

"She owes her best friend an explanation for her own romance?" Shen Dang let out a cold laugh, "She’s not dating her."

Qu Jiashu made a clicking sound, "Ah Dang, you don’t understand the friendship between girls. You know what the Qiao Family is like; you should understand what Baola means to Xixi. They are more than friends."

A few seconds later, Shen Dang irritably clicked his tongue, "Hang up."

He was inexplicably annoyed.

Why couldn’t Xie Baola just stay abroad? What was she coming back for?

If she intended to interfere with his romance with Xixi, he wasn’t afraid of the Xie Family.

Hah.

Shen Dang looked up at the tall building.

Among countless lit windows, even if he counted the floors, he couldn’t discern which window belonged to Qiao Xi’s home.

Shen Dang stomped out a cigarette butt with his shoe, got in the car, and drove off.

...

Worried about potential traffic jams, Qiao Xi left home early to head to the airport.

Boss Shen intended to accompany her to pick up his girlfriend’s best friend but was tied up with company business.

So he couldn’t go.

And Qiao Xi hadn’t figured out how to break the news to Xie Baola. Relieved that Shen Dang wasn’t accompanying her, she began her drive alone.

Driving carefully, just her by herself.

She wasn’t seeking speed.

Only stability.

Several times, cars passed her and honked their horns as they switched lanes.

Qiao Xi: "..."
