My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 336 - 335: Thinking of You

Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Thinking of You

"""Everyone indeed knew about it."""

There was always a crowd eager to watch the drama unfold.

Every time something like this happened, it was as if Qiao Xi was being whipped posthumously.

Because every time, she had made it perfectly clear to Chu Xiuyun that she had no such interest in him.

However, after some time had passed, Chu Xiuyun would make a comeback, like a cockroach that couldn’t be squashed, disgustingly persistent in the eyes of onlookers.

He seemed to think that by persisting, he could move Qiao Xi.

Shen Dang suddenly remembered a few years back—

He couldn’t quite recall how many years ago, but Chu Xiuyun had made a confession to Qiao Xi at Xiaotang Mountain.

Naturally, he was rejected in the end.

Shen Dang had just happened to be at Xiaotang Mountain at the time.

Although he hadn’t witnessed the confession himself, someone later told him the story as a joke.

So, he knew about the incident.

The contempt in Shen Dang’s eyes was unmasked, such a look could infuriate anyone, and Chu Xiuyun, with a chill in his eyes, laughed without anger: "Did my presence rattle you? Huh? Are you afraid I’ll do something to Xixi?"

His demeanor was overly provocative.

Shen Dang chuckled deeply, his face devoid of any smile: "Dare to lay a finger on Xixi, and I’ll take your entire Chu family down!"

His voice was slow and lazy, even drawling a bit, but the chilling intent flashing through his dark eyes was deadly serious.

"Ha! The Chu family..." Chu Xiuyun was nonchalantly tapping his finger against his lips: "Who do you think you are?"

Chu Xiuyun didn’t believe Shen Dang had the clout to threaten the Chu family, which had its foundations too.

"The person I want, I will surely have. Xixi is not yours, and I will take her from your side one day!"

A hint of madness glinted in Chu Xiuyun’s eyes.

He didn’t care about their contractual marriage; after all, it was fake, but he hadn’t expected that one day Qiao Xi would actually fall in love with Shen Dang.

That was more than he could stand!

He had known Qiao Xi first.

And he was the first to fall for her.

The only person suitable for Qiao Xi was him!

Shen Dang’s face was icy, his eyes full of severity: "Go ahead and try. To Xixi, you are just the vermin of a gutter. She never cared for you then, and she certainly won’t care for you now."

His gaze was filled with mockery, disdain, and contempt.

Shen Dang had never taken Chu Xiuyun seriously.

With a bloodthirsty sneer, Chu Xiuyun retorted: "Can you protect her forever? Don’t give me the chance."

A sudden ringtone broke through the tense atmosphere.

It was Chu Xiuyun’s phone.

He tried to hang up the call but paused when he saw the caller ID.

Hesitating for a few seconds, he ended up hanging up anyway.

But the ring sounded again.

The person on the other end seemed anxious.

Chu Xiuyun had no choice but to answer.

"Hello."

"Where have you run off to again? There’s a problem with our company’s collaboration with Z Corporation! Hurry up and get back here!"

It was Chu Xiuyun’s father on the line.

Chu Xiuyun shot a cold glance at Shen Dang.

Was this his doing?

"Speak up!"

Chu Xiuyun’s response was cold: "I can’t come back now."

Mr. Chu immediately scolded him and as Chu Xiuyun listened to the torrent of angry words, his eyes went dead.

"I understand."

Chu Xiuyun hung up abruptly.

"Was it you?" Chu Xiuyun’s gaze sharpened as he eyed Shen Dang: "Shen Dang, it was you, wasn’t it?"

Shen Dang, with one hand casually tucked in his pocket, was nonchalant, with a half-smile: "What are you talking about?"

A pressure built up in Chu Xiuyun’s chest, unable to escape. Irritation was hard to hide: "Shen Dang, you dare do it but not own up?"

Could the timing really be a coincidence, if not Shen Dang?

Shen Dang flicked at his clothing, even though there wasn’t a speck of dust.

The simple motion came off as lazy and aristocratic.

He looked up slightly, his lips curling into a mocking, cold smile: "And what can you do about it? You could choose not to return, see if Xixi cares at all."

Shen Dang had been tripping up the Chu Group for some time.

Yet the Chu family hadn’t caught on yet.

This collaboration was merely a simple trick from Shen Dang.

He hadn’t intended to set off the bomb so soon; the longer a bomb is planted, the more devastating the explosion, the more casualties it inflicts.

But with Chu Xiuyun chasing Qiao Xi all the way here, he couldn’t stand it.

Shen Dang lazily withdrew his gaze and sneered: "Let’s go, Zhou Ge, keep a close eye on him downstairs."

"Got it."

As Shen Dang walked out, Zhou Ge followed.

As they passed by Chu Xiuyun, Zhou Ge feigned a punch, making a threatening gesture.

A gust of wind came, and Chu Xiuyun instinctively dodged back.

Zhou Ge laughed loudly at Chu Xiuyun’s cowardice.

Watching them leave and shut the door, Chu Xiuyun was seething with rage.

In the end, Chu Xiuyun reluctantly left Mo City.

Boss Shen strolled leisurely back to Qiao Xi’s room.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ge returned to the film set.

During a break, Zhou Ge leaned in next to Qiao Xi and whispered: "Miss Qiao, Chu Xiuyun has left."

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow: "He really came?"

"Absolutely, he was like a shadow, following wherever you went, definitely had some nefarious plan, but now he’s gone, you can relax, nobody will disturb your filming."

Zhou Ge sure had a way with words.

Qiao Xi smiled faintly, curiously: "He came, did nothing, and then left of his own accord?"

That didn’t sound like something Chu Xiuyun would do.

"Of course, it was Boss Shen who sent him packing."

Zhou Ge had great admiration for Shen Dang.

"Oh?" A glint of interest in her eyes, Qiao Xi probed: "What did Shen Dang do?"

Zhou Ge said: "Boss Shen drove him off with just a few words."

Qiao Xi: "..."

Was his silver-tongued way of speaking now reduced to such a tepid comment?

Couldn’t he be more specific?

With Zhou Ge’s laconic response, Qiao Xi wasn’t foolish enough to believe it completely.

She clapped her hands lightly, her face full of admiration: "Boss Shen really is formidable!"

Zhou Ge felt as if he himself had been complimented and took pride: "Absolutely!"

"...Where is he?"

"I don’t know. I was in charge of watching Chu Xiuyun, I can’t keep tabs on Boss Shen. I came straight to you after he left."

"Alright then."

Zhou Ge blended back into the crowd.

Qiao Xi pondered for a moment and then sent Shen Dang a message: [Where are you?]

Boss Shen’s reply was quick: [Missing you.]

Not to the point at all.

Qiao Xi, speechless: [I meant where are you now?]

Shen Dang sent a picture in response.

Qiao Xi knew without opening it where he was.

Her hotel room.

She had given him the keycard when she left.

Then she had Bei Bei get another keycard from the front desk.

Little did she expect that he would go straight to her room after leaving.

Couldn’t he have gone to his own room instead?
