My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 340 - 339: To Gain an Inch, I Must First Aim for a Mile

Chapter 340: Chapter 339: To Gain an Inch, I Must First Aim for a Mile

The two appeared intimately close but only Xie Baola understood the man’s restrained manners.

She couldn’t even take a slight advantage?

Tsk.

Xie Baola’s smile was playful, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, eyes brimming with eager anticipation.

Not knowing what Chen Jiayan intended to do, Xie Baola didn’t push him away.

In the bustling noise around them, Xie Baola clearly heard Chen Jiayan’s indifferently frosty voice, "Don’t tell Xixi about my affairs."

Xie Baola’s interest deepened—so it was because of Xi Bao.

Was he afraid of revealing his wild side in front of Xixi?

Indeed a fascinating man.

However—

Xie Baola’s voice was teasing as her hand climbed onto Chen Jiayan’s shoulder, "Why should I agree to that?"

Chen Jiayan stepped back, and Xie Baola’s unsupported hand fell back to her side.

Chen Jiayan’s gaze shifted, landing faintly on Xie Baola’s face, the provocation in her eyes intense.

His eyes seemed a bit weighted, "What are your conditions?"

Xie Baola crossed her arms, looking completely relaxed, "The reason, why are you afraid of me mentioning this to Xixi?"

Of course, Xie Baola would naturally never bring up Chen Jiayan’s name in front of Qiao Xi, nor would she talk to Qiao Xi just because she accidentally encountered this side of him tonight, but Chen Jiayan’s attitude inexplicably irritated Xie Baola.

She coldly glanced at Chen Jiayan, "Are you interested in Xi Bao?"

"Xixi is my family."

Family?

"OK, I get it now," Xie Baola smirked provocatively, "Let’s have a race then, just the two of us."

Xie Baola’s flirtatious yet refined eyes carried a touch of arrogance that breezed through the night, as untamed and unbridled as the wind.

Xie Baola raised her eyebrow at him, "Do you dare?"

"Come on."

Chen Jiayan responded at a leisurely pace.

Xie Baola turned her head and gestured towards Qu Jiashu not far away.

Qu Jiashu leaned against where Xie Baola had just been leaning on the car, silently watching their tug-of-war.

Although he couldn’t hear what they were saying, it wasn’t hard for Qu Jiashu, who had known Xie Baola since childhood, to notice her interest in Chen Jiayan.

Qu Jiashu got into Xie Baola’s car.

He had come here seeking a thrill.

Just before, a man had stuffed a spicy chick wearing shorts and a tank top into Chen Jiayan’s car.

Chen Jiayan didn’t object.

The two cars stopped at the starting line.

The air seemed tense, ready to explode.

With the sound of a simulated gunshot, the two cars lurking in the night shot out like arrows released from their bows!

...

Boss Shen was a man of his word.

Saying he would take Qiao Xi home meant taking her home.

Of course, he meant to Qiao Xi’s home.

Qiao Xi looked at the familiar scenes and buildings outside the window, "...you said you’d take me someplace and it really just meant home?"

Her face bore a complicated expression.

Home, huh...

Thinking of Boss Shen’s various unsettling moves, Qiao Xi subconsciously felt that bringing Boss Shen home was both irrational and dangerous.

Throughout the trip, Shen Dang held her hand firmly.

His eyes displayed unhappiness, "Our couple’s world was disrupted by those envious people. Don’t you owe me some compensation?"

Typical of Boss Shen’s sense of entitlement.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help laughing.

Her voice, tinged with laughter, said, "It wasn’t my interruption, why should I compensate you?"

Could he have gotten something wrong?

"Even talking about it," Shen Dang pinched her nose as if in punishment, almost grinding his teeth, "Wasn’t it you who invited them? Xie Baola and Su Tutu were invited by you; the other two who joined on their own don’t count."

Qiao Xi slapped away his somewhat owing hand and hummed softly, "When I rarely come back to Hai City, I can’t just ignore my girlfriends, can I?"

"Tsk, so you choose to ignore your boyfriend?" Shen Dang looked at her half-smiling.

Qiao Xi’s exquisitely beautiful face showed a helpless smile, "That’s a bit unreasonable of you to say. When have I neglected you?"

She had already parted from her girlfriends and was now still accompanying her boyfriend.

This demon of a man is really spouting nonsense!

"Our candlelight dinner is gone now."

Shen Dang’s face clearly displayed his unhappiness.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing her laughing so heartily, Shen Dang even more tightly clenched his teeth, "Still laughing?"

"Not laughing anymore, not laughing anymore."

Qiao Xi pressed her fingertips against the corners of her eyes, pressing down the laughter on her face, and straightened up.

"Sorry, I shouldn’t have laughed."

Shen Dang: "..."

She didn’t seem sorry at all, rather quite happy.

Seeing him narrowing his black eyes with a gloomy face, Qiao Xi took the initiative to move closer and kiss him on the lips as a sign of appeasement.

Watching her quick-peck movement, Shen Dang leisurely smiled, "That’s it?"

His brows subtly lifted, obviously not quite satisfied.

But deep down, he was thrilled.

His girlfriend had kissed him voluntarily.

Hearing that, Qiao Xi’s eyebrows and eyes showed a cool tint, speaking indignantly, "Don’t be greedy!"

That was surely not enough; what more did he want?

Qiao Xi pushed open the car door and got out.

Shen Dang followed suit.

His tall legs followed behind Qiao Xi with a leisurely stride, hands casually tucked into his pockets.

Utterly relaxed.

He met looseness with intent, his words carrying significant depth: "I’d need to gain an inch first before I can go a mile, but I haven’t even gained an inch, how can I go a mile?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

What kind of nonsense was this demon speaking?

Qiao Xi didn’t understand and didn’t feel like asking in-depth.

It was certainly nothing good anyway.

Qiao Xi walked straight towards the elevator without looking back.

Before Shen Dang could enter, Qiao Xi was about to close the elevator doors.

Boss Shen, seeing her action from outside, slightly raised his eyebrows and leaned forward to enter the elevator.

His delicate features shadowed with a light smile, "What is Teacher Qiao trying to do?"

His tongue touched the corner of his mouth, speaking out her intent, "Wishing to leave me here alone?"

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at the air, "You’ve squeezed in already, haven’t you?"

How could she not know this demon enjoyed climbing along the pole?

Shen Dang nonchalantly countered, "Isn’t that because I’m quick?"

Qiao Xi was both annoyed and amused by his words.

Leaning against the elevator, she lazily looked at her phone.

Shen Dang stretched out his hand to hook around her waist, pulling her close to his chest.

Qiao Xi slightly lifted her eyelids to look at him, "What are you doing?"

"Why lean on the elevator?" Boss Shen’s words were naturally overbearing, "Lean on me instead."

Truly fitting of the Overbearing Boss!

Qiao Xi: "..."

The elevator stopped, and Shen Dang walked out still holding Qiao Xi’s waist.

After Qiao Xi opened the door, Shen Dang boldly entered the room.

Qiao Xi removed his hand and walked toward the water dispenser to pour a glass of water for herself.

Shen Dang watched her movements, his Adam’s apple slightly moving, "What about mine?"

Qiao Xi coolly glanced at him, "Can’t you pour it yourself?"
