My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 346 - 344: Sense of Security

Chapter 346: Chapter 344: Sense of Security

Qiao Xi pinched the palm of her hand hard to calm herself down, "Fine, but let’s talk here then."

Chu Xiuyun propped a hand against the car door.

One of Qiao Xi’s feet touched the ground.

Suddenly, a pair of long legs invaded her field of vision, their steps steady yet urgent.

The man’s legs were encased in fine black suit pants without a single crease, the straight-leg cut perfectly contouring his impeccable lines.

Even at such a tense moment, Qiao Xi found the observation absurd.

Simply because these legs were familiar to her.

Her heart settled at that moment.

"Bang—"

The sound of the owner of those legs kicking someone.

The two men Chu Xiuyun brought were quickly kicked to the ground by Shen Dang, unable to get back up.

The remaining person in the car, seeing this, also approached Chu Xiuyun.

Shen Dang dealt with him swiftly, leaving him groaning in pain on the ground.

Seeing the men he brought downed so easily by Shen Dang, Chu Xiuyun’s face twisted darkly, "...Shen Dang!"

He clenched his teeth.

Shen Dang didn’t bother with idle talk, grabbed the collar of his clothes, and delivered a punch.

Shen Dang’s handsome face was dark as water, his eyes filled with disdain, "What do you think you are, huh?"

Chu Xiuyun staggered from the blow, raging, he flailed his fists at Shen Dang.

Shen Dang seized his wrist and delivered an uppercut with his other hand, then slammed him harshly onto the ground.

"Ugh..." Chu Xiuyun cried out in pain, his face as pale as death.

Shen Dang sneered coldly, his brows and eyes brimming with severity, "You think you’re worthy of touching her, you piece of trash!"

After saying that, he kicked Chu Xiuyun in the stomach.

Shen Dang’s kick was hard and ruthless, and Chu Xiuyun was sent flying, curling up in pain.

Shen Dang stopped looking at him.

Only a pair of phoenix eyes stared at him deeply, "Shen Dang."

When in danger, a person always hopes for someone dependable to show up.

The man who seemingly descended from the sky made Qiao Xi feel safe.

Perhaps it was because, at this moment, he seemed strong enough to chase away the dangers near her.

Qiao Xi thought, this was the sense of security she needed.

Simple.

Direct.

Devoid of any ulterior motives.

It made her feel cherished.

It wasn’t the first time Shen Dang had rushed to her side the moment she was in danger.

Maybe she hesitated before, unable to let go of the knots in her heart.

But at this moment, it seemed as if all her insecurities had vanished.

Shen Dang turned his head upon hearing her, softened the fierceness in his eyes, and quickly approached Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi sat askew in the car, staring blankly at the man approaching.

Shen Dang got into the car, sat next to her, and held her somewhat cold hand, "Were you scared just now?"

Qiao Xi shook her head in a daze, then nodded lightly, "A little... how did you know I was here?"

Unsure if anyone had caught the earlier scene, Shen Dang quickly arranged, "Go to my car; I’ll take you to the airport."

He knew that Qiao Xi had to return to Mo City for filming, so he didn’t insist on taking her back.

"Then you should get your car repaired."

After telling the driver, Qiao Xi got into Shen Dang’s car.

Bei Bei, still unsettled, moved their luggage from her car to Boss Shen’s.

Her legs were still trembling as she got into the car.

As the car drove off, Shen Dang finally slowly answered Qiao Xi’s question, "I had people watching Chu Xiuyun. My subordinates reported that he took the airport route and I was worried, so I followed."

Shen Dang surveyed her up and down, his eyes deep, "I’m late. Are you hurt?"

"No."

Qiao Xi smiled faintly at him, feigning ease.

Fortunately, the shattered glass from Chu Xiuyun’s actions hadn’t fallen on her.

"I’ve blocked Chu Xiuyun’s contact information. I don’t know what he wanted by coming to my car," Qiao Xi asked, "Did something happen?"

Indeed, Chu Xiuyun was a lunatic, but it was also true he had not harmed her over the years.

This was the first time Qiao Xi had been frightened by Chu Xiuyun’s madness.

"Qiao Nan has fled abroad. Chu Xiuyun controlled Qiao Nan to target you. Ha, he’s now a cornered beast."

Shen Dang’s words carried a strong, serious undertone.

Qiao Xi was slightly startled. Qiao Nan ran away?

She thought of what had happened at the film set.

So, Qiao Nan fled because she caught him secretly filming, and couldn’t complete the task Chu Xiuyun assigned, hence he panicked and ran, right?

Qiao Nan deserved what came to him.

But Chu Xiuyun’s actions were clearly unforgivable.

Qiao Xi didn’t tell Shen Dang about Chu Xiuyun’s treacherous conduct, fearing it would make Shen Dang even angrier.

"It’s better that she ran."

If she didn’t, she’d only be utilized by Chu Xiuyun.

Her trouble would be greater too.

"Don’t pay any attention to whatever he wants to tell you."

Shen Dang’s eyes suddenly darkened, as if a storm was brewing within, "I’ll keep a close watch on him."

Qiao Xi patted his hand, reassuringly, "I didn’t plan to pay him any mind. You arrived just in time. I’m really fine. Don’t worry."

At that moment, Qiao Xi felt she finally had someone to rely on.

She had always believed the only person she could rely on was herself, but Shen Dang had shattered that notion.

In this world, there will always be one person who comes into your world filled with a sense of security.

Coming just for you.

"I’m really scared something will happen to you."

Shen Dang pulled her into his embrace.

Qiao Xi’s face was pressed against his chest.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

With every beat.

His heart’s steady and strong rhythm.

Qiao Xi felt his spreading concern and fear and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I’m fine, really."

Qiao Xi said.

Shen Dang stroked her hair at the back of her head.

...

The incident where Qiao Xi’s car was intercepted and got into an accident was inadvertently filmed and uploaded online.

A photographer across the street with a camera filming a short video had captured the whole incident, including Shen Dang beating people.

The nearly five-minute-long, unedited video was circulated by various marketing accounts and skyrocketed to the top of the trending search lists.

Shen Dang and Qiao Xi’s phones rang simultaneously,

One was a call from the agent.

The other was from Assistant Gao.

After exchanging a glance, Qiao Xi picked up the phone, "Sister Li."

"Xixi, how are you? Are you okay?"

Wang Li found out about Qiao Xi’s roadside incident when she saw the news and immediately expressed concern for her safety upon calling.

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, "I’m fine. You know?"

"Your car was stopped, and Boss Shen showed up and beat up the people. Someone uploaded the video online!"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Shen Dang also heard the news from Assistant Gao.

His voice was steady, "Suppress the trending exposure, make a clarification, and focus public attention on the official relationship between Xixi and me. Keep our private matters out of it. Silence any commentary that touches on personal matters immediately."
