Chapter 341 - 340: Wanting an Inch

Chapter 341: Chapter 340: Wanting an Inch

Sitting there like a big boss, you still have the nerve to ask what’s wrong?

But then again, this person is indeed a big boss.

Shen Dang’s gaze fixed on the cup of water in her hand as he frankly said, "I want the one you’re drinking."

He didn’t hide his intentions.

Qiao Xi remained silent.

Silence was like tonight’s Cambridge.

After finishing her drink, Qiao Xi took another cup and poured water for him.

Just as she stretched out her hand toward him, Shen Dang grasped her wrist.

Qiao Xi slightly lowered her eyelashes, her pair of phoenix eyes looking at him in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Dang took the water cup from her hand and placed it on the coffee table.

With a smooth pull, he drew her to sit on his lap.

Qiao Xi’s heart fluttered.

Beneath her was his robust legs, and she was enveloped by his intense hormonal scent, an action that could easily trigger palpitations.

He said, "I want an inch more."

Qiao Xi: "..."

What the hell was he talking about?

Shen Dang, pinching her chin, kissed her unexpectedly.

In a moment, the two were entwined.

The man was still gentle yet domineering.

Leaving her no escape.

Qiao Xi felt as if she were drowning, breathing uncomfortably, on the brink of a certain threshold, yet she could only sway with his rhythm.

And like being trapped in quicksand, she couldn’t extricate herself, only to sink deeper until she was completely engulfed.

The night was too quiet.

So much so that the surrounding sounds were particularly distinct.

There was a fine, dense sound of water in the living room.

When this sound reached Qiao Xi’s ears, her tailbone went numb all of a sudden.

Intimacy.

Romance.

Two kinds of atmospheres intertwined.

After merging into one, they dispersed again, slowly drifting around.

Filling the surrounding air with a kind of pink bubble.

Just then, a sudden ringtone of a phone shattered the intense, passionate atmosphere.

The two, locked in a kiss, paused briefly.

Qiao Xi came to her senses and pushed Shen Dang’s chest away.

"My phone is ringing."

Her phoenix eyes foggy with confusion and ardor, they made one want to do something more.

"Don’t bother with it."

Shen Dang’s gaze intensified as he looked at her, his profound eyes brimming with a heavy tint that seemed ready to spill over.

His eyes were filled with too much desire.

Qiao Xi’s gaze seemed burned by his and she averted her eyes, avoiding his scorching gaze: "No, I have to answer the phone!"

Qiao Xi attempted to get off his lap after speaking.

Shen Dang encircled her waist, not letting go.

His breathing was heavy: "Just answer like this."

"You..."

Who does this?

Seeing this, Shen Dang lazily smiled, nonchalant: "Then don’t answer. Let’s continue what we were doing."

Qiao Xi was annoyed with him.

As the ringing persisted, Qiao Xi could only reach out to grab her phone and slide to answer.

"Hello, Sister Li."

Her voice was soft and raspy.

As if moistened.

Clearly abnormal.

Just hearing these few words, Shen Dang became aroused.

Even his gaze grew a few degrees hotter.

If not for that phone call...

Shen Dang closed his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Qiao Xi’s heart was still racing.

She could feel Shen Dang’s intense gaze on her, and she could only pretend to look elsewhere, feigning ignorance.

Over the phone, Wang Li sensed something off in Qiao Xi’s voice: "Xixi, what’s wrong with your voice?"

Qiao Xi didn’t want to let Wang Li focus on that, and swiftly changed the topic: "Do you have something important, Sister Li?"

"It’s like this," Wang Li’s attention was diverted: "I suddenly received notice that the time for tomorrow’s event has been changed."

"Why would it change?"

Qiao Xi furrowed her brows.

The event had been long scheduled; a sudden time change could indicate a mishap or human intervention.

Having traveled back from Mo City, she had only one day left. If her time had to be wasted, she was not pleased.

Qiao Xi’s endorsement with IZ perfume from last year was still not over.

IZ launched a new product, once again promoting with a national style, involving things related to Hua Country, which Qiao Xi would definitely support.

Thus, she took leave to attend this new product launch.

After all, it was better for her as an endorser to be present.

She didn’t expect there to be a scheduling mistake.

Wang Li explained: "A rival company to IZ released a perfume similar to IZ’s new product, also under the guise of national style. The other side, being Chasing Shadows, cleverly chose to launch their new product today at 8 PM. IZ’s executives quickly took notice of this, so the new product launch had to be suspended to allow for an investigation, which takes time. The rival’s move was deliberate."

Qiao Xi kept silent.

Wang Li continued: "Regardless of how the situation resolves in the end, it will have some impact on us to a greater or lesser extent."

The brand concerns the endorser.

If the brand faces trouble, then the endorser can’t escape being implicated.

There are numerous stars in the entertainment industry who have been targeted by netizens due to their brand’s issues.

They’ll blame you for endorsing such a brand.

Even if the stars are implicated innocently, the netizens won’t care.

They might commit misdeeds themselves, but they oddly won’t allow public figures to engage in bad behavior due to other factors.

Armed with their keyboards, they think they are the enforcers of justice on the internet.

This circle is bare and realistic.

But the good thing was that IZ wasn’t involved in any unlawful misconduct; the opponent’s actions were just rather disgusting.

Qiao Xi asked with a focused gaze: "How much longer is left on my contract with IZ?"

Wang Li: "It ends next month."

Qiao Xi said indifferently: "Then let’s see how IZ handles it."

Wang Li hesitated: "What do you think about continuing the collaboration with IZ?"

Wang Li needed to consult Qiao Xi’s opinion.

Qiao Xi’s contract with IZ and with L’Artisan were not in conflict, but this incident lowered her impression of IZ perfumes.

If they don’t resolve this issue before the contract ends, it wouldn’t concern Qiao Xi much.

She didn’t plan to renew the contract.

Qiao Xi also made her intentions clear to Wang Li.

Wang Li sighed: "The new event timing hasn’t been set yet. You go back to the film set first. Since this is IZ’s own issue, I will contact you if there’s anything to follow up on within our contract period."

Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Shen Dang immediately snatched it from her hand and placed it back on the coffee table.

"Let’s continue."

"Continue what exactly."

Qiao Xi was almost amused to exasperation, slapping his hand wrapped around her waist: "I need to pack now; I’m going back to Mo City tomorrow."

"Not attending the event?"

"The brand side has a problem, changed the timing."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, eagerly volunteering: "Then let me help you pack."

"No need for you!"

Qiao Xi refused.

Her room was the only sanctuary she defended.

He messed around in the living room already, who knows what he’d do in her room.

Wasn’t this inviting a wolf into the den?

Watching Qiao Xi’s wary expression, Shen Dang licked his gumline and laughed lowly: "Xi Bao, what are you afraid of?"
