Chapter 342: Chapter 340: Return to Mo City Early

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

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

Shen Dang’s gaze was fixed on the glass of water in her hand as he said forthrightly, "I want to drink from that one."

He didn’t hide his intentions.

Qiao Xi remained silent.

The silence was tonight’s Cambridge.

The two faced off without a word.

Qiao Xi leisurely finished a glass of water, then took another glass and poured some for him.

Her hand had just reached out to him when 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 glass from her hand and placed it on the coffee table.

His hand took advantage of the motion to pull her onto his lap.

Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

Below her was his sturdy legs, and she was enveloped by his potent hormonal scent—easy actions that could cause palpitations.

He said, "I’m taking an inch."

Qiao Xi: "..."

What the hell was he talking about?

Shen Dang kissed her without warning.

Qiao Xi was unguarded and unprepared.

The man was still gentle yet domineering.

It sparked her pounding heartbeat.

Qiao Xi felt as if she were drowning, struggling to breathe, as if on the verge of some threshold.

It was like sinking into quicksand, unable to extricate herself, only to sink deeper and eventually be completely engulfed.

The night was too quiet.

So much so that all the surrounding sounds seemed especially clear.

Breathing mixed with the stirring, shallow sound of water.

This little noise reached Qiao Xi’s ears, making her fingers involuntarily curl up.

Ambiguous.

Charming.

The two scents twisted and entwined together.

After merging into one, they spread out again, lazily drifting in the air.

They filled the surrounding with bubbles colored in a hue called pink.

It was then that a sudden ringtone from a phone abruptly shattered the intimate atmosphere.

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

"My phone is ringing."

Her phoenix eyes carried a forced-out mist, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with a seductive red.

Both ethereal and desirous.

"Don’t bother with it."

Shen Dang focused his gaze on her, his deep eyes containing a dark and profound hue, as if about to overflow with his intense look.

His gaze was far too covetous.

Qiao Xi’s eyes, as if scorched by him, avoided his burning gaze: "No, I have to answer the call!"

Qiao Xi said as she tried to get off his lap.

Shen Dang encircled her waist, not allowing her to leave.

Qiao Xi didn’t understand.

Shen Dang met her gaze: "Just answer it like this."

"You..."

Who does things like this?

Seeing this, Shen Dang lazily smiled, nonchalantly: "Then don’t answer, and let’s continue with our thing."

Qiao Xi was practically annoyed with him.

As the ring kept sounding, Qiao Xi could only reach out, grab the phone, and slide to answer.

"Hello, Sister Li."

Her voice was both soft and husky.

Seemingly moistened.

Clearly abnormal.

Shen Dang, just hearing these few words, felt an inferno within him.

Even his eyes turned a few degrees hotter.

If it weren’t for her phone call...

Shen Dang narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Qiao Xi’s heart was still racing.

She could feel Shen Dang’s intense gaze upon her and had no choice but to feign ignorance and look away.

Across the phone, Wang Li could detect a bit of the abnormality in Qiao Xi’s voice: "Xixi, what’s wrong with your voice?"

Qiao Xi didn’t want Wang Li to focus on that and changed the topic directly: "Is there something important you need to tell me?"

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

"Why would it change?"

Qiao Xi knitted her brow.

The event had been well arranged, so a sudden change in time could either indicate an unexpected occurrence or human interference.

Having returned from Mo City, she only had one day tomorrow; if it was to be spent on delays, she wasn’t keen on that.

Qiao Xi’s contract as the spokesperson for IZ perfume from last year hadn’t yet ended.

IZ released a new fragrance, another one to promote the country’s style, and for anything related to Hua Country, Qiao Xi was supportive.

So she took leave to attend the launch.

After all, showing up as the spokesperson was preferable.

She hadn’t expected a mistake in scheduling.

Wang Li explained: "Another brand under the IZ house has released a perfume similar to IZ’s new product, also flaunting the country’s style. They are quite despicable, picking tonight at eight to launch their new product deliberately. The IZ executives noticed this quickly, so the new product launch has to pause, as investigating the issue will take time. The other party did this on purpose."

Qiao Xi didn’t speak.

Wang Li continued: "Regardless of how this issue is eventually settled, it will more or less affect us."

The brand ties directly to the spokesperson.

If the brand encounters an issue, the spokesperson can’t escape being implicated.

There are not a few celebrities in the entertainment industry who get flak from netizens because the brand party has a problem.

They will blame you for endorsing the brand.

Even if the celebrities are just incidental, they don’t care.

They might do bad things themselves, but they expect public figures not to behave poorly for other reasons.

Sitting behind their keyboards, they think they are the righteous enforcers of the internet realm.

This industry is stark and realistic.

But fortunately, IZ wasn’t involved in any illegal misbehavior; what the other party did was indeed disgusting.

Qiao Xi’s gaze hardened: "How much longer until my contract with IZ ends?"

Wang Li: "It ends next month."

Qiao Xi said indifferently: "Then let’s see how IZ resolves this."

Wang Li paused: "What are your thoughts on continuing with IZ?"

Wang Li still wanted to hear Qiao Xi’s opinion.

Qiao Xi’s contract with IZ didn’t conflict with her deal with LArtisan, but this incident had tarnished her impression of IZ perfume.

If IZ didn’t resolve this issue before her contract ended, it wouldn’t matter much to her.

She wasn’t planning to renew.

Qiao Xi made her stance clear to Wang Li.

Wang Li sighed: "The new schedule for the event isn’t set yet, so you head back to the set for now. This was IZ’s problem; if we’re still under contract, I’ll contact you about any follow-up."

Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, I got it."

The moment she hung up the phone, Shen Dang immediately took the phone from her hand and placed it back on the coffee table.

"Let’s continue."

"Continue what?"

Qiao Xi was nearly amused by his obstinacy, patting the hand he had around her waist: "I need to pack my luggage; I’m heading back to Mo City tomorrow."

"Not attending the event?"

"The brand has some issues, so it changed the time."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue then offered eagerly: "Then let me help you pack."

"No, you don’t!"

Qiao Xi refused outright.

Her room was her only sanctuary.

He was already being invasive in the living room; she couldn’t imagine what it would be like in her bedroom.

Wasn’t this inviting the wolf into the henhouse?

Watching Qiao Xi’s guarded expression, Shen Dang licked his teeth and chuckled lowly: "Xi Bao, what are you afraid of?"
