My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 348 - 346: Future Wife

Chapter 348: Chapter 346: Future Wife

The man didn’t seem all that bad.

Among best friends, it’s natural to look down on each other’s boyfriends and husbands.

They always feel that no man in the world is worthy of their best friend.

Xie Baola also had this attitude towards Shen Dang.

But, Shen Dang’s actions slightly changed Xie Baola’s view of him.

If a girlfriend is in danger and the boyfriend isn’t there to protect her, what use is such a boyfriend?

Shen Dang didn’t mind the teasing in her words, "Xixi is my girlfriend and also my future wife."

In his opinion, doing all this was only right and proper.

Xie Baola chuckled disdainfully, "Boss Shen sure has quite the imagination, whether she’ll be your wife is still uncertain."

Only the heiress of the Xie Family would dare to speak such words.

Shen Dang: "..."

If it weren’t for the knowledge that Xie Baola wouldn’t make such a call without a good reason, Shen Dang would have hung up on her directly.

He wasn’t fantasizing, Xixi would one day bear the title of Mrs. Shen.

Seeing him not argue, Xie Baola didn’t want to monologue, "I’ve heard IDC Capital is targeting the Chu Group."

Shen Dang might be secretive, but the heiress of the Xie Family had her ways to uncover some clues.

They might not be many, but they were enough.

Their goals were aligned.

Shen Dang’s eyes narrowed, a sharpness lurking within, "What are you trying to say?"

If he didn’t know that Xie Baola would do no harm to Qiao Xi, just based on her words, Shen Dang would view her as an enemy.

Xie Baola touched her freshly done nails, looking tranquil, "This matter, I’m quite interested in."

She smiled, "Boss Shen, why don’t you come to my company’s office, and we can have a good talk?"

Shen Dang ended the call, instructing his driver, "To the Xie Group."

"Yes, President Shen."

Qiao Xi and Bei Bei caught their flight at the last moment.

Her early return delighted Director Qian so much that he immediately brought forward her scenes.

And so, Qiao Xi focused on filming thereafter.

The incident of her accident had caused a stir online for a few days before it passed.

That’s how this era is, old news always gets replaced by new events.

People’s attention won’t linger on one thing.

Such is the rapid pace of updates and iterations.

On set, Qiao Xi managed to finish filming on time almost every day.

Acting is a profession that is fought for with the body.

Director Qian pressed on with the filming, but also ensured the actors had enough rest.

This time, when Qiao Xi returned to Mo City, the usually clingy and persistent Boss Shen sent her fewer messages.

Sometimes Qiao Xi would video call him.

Shen Dang always answered, but she could hear other people’s voices in the call.

It seemed he was very busy.

So was Xie Baola.

Even her social media updates had lessened.

There were no posts of her going out to play.

Qiao Xi was busy filming as well.

When free, she stayed in touch with her boyfriend and best friend.

Time flew quickly.

After filming in Mo City for nearly a month more, Qiao Xi followed the crew to a small village in Guizhou Province for location shooting.

This was also going to be the final shooting location for "Snowfield Ballet."

This movie was to wrap up here.

It was only after Qiao Xi reached Guizhou Province that she sent a message to Shen Dang to inform him of her arrival.

Signal here was very poor.

Because it wasn’t in the town, nor in the countryside.

Instead, it was a very remote place, almost into the deep mountains.

Surrounding areas were desolate and uninhabited, except for a few households of stay-behinds at the foot of another mountain, all old folks without a younger generation.

The conditions here were much tougher than in Sucheng and Mo City.

Qiao Xi was shooting in a closed set without posting any news about the film on social media platforms.

Yet, her fans all knew she was filming.

When she went into the wild mountains and forest, her outgoing messages became even fewer.

Due to signal issues, Qiao Xi missed many messages from Shen Dang, and the frequency of their video calls also decreased.

While Qiao Xi was still busy filming, the main cast of "Detective in the Republic," Jiang Yongge, Qin Mo, and Su Tutu, participated in the movie’s promotion.

Because of scheduling conflicts, the female lead Qiao Xi wasn’t able to appear with everyone for the dozen or so press events.

Caringly, Su Tutu prepared a cardboard cutout of Qiao Xi to be placed at the promotional venues.

The fans and staff couldn’t help but laugh when they saw the standee of Qiao Xi.

The female lead couldn’t make it, so fine, a cardboard cutout took her place.

Anyway, the full cast was present.

Of course, people found it funny, not in a mocking way, but because they felt the crew’s atmosphere was great.

Look how harmonious the cast was.

There were no dramas or conflicts.

The two lead actresses were publicly known as good sisters in the entertainment industry, setting a benchmark for friendship.

Having friends like these was once a source of envy for other female stars in the industry.

Su Tutu’s humorous act even landed her and Qiao Xi on the trending searches, bringing higher attention to their movie promotions.

Su Tutu’s stunt was only known to Qiao Xi the next day through Bei Bei.

After reading the news, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

Bei Bei suggested recording a video saying a few words.

Qiao Xi thought it was a good idea, so she recorded a video and posted it on Weibo.

The gist was that she couldn’t make it because of filming, but she silently wished "Detective in the Republic" a perfect end to the promotion and a smash hit at the box office. She also mentioned Su Tutu’s act of making her cardboard standee.

The time came to National Day.

Director Qian gave everyone a day off according to the national holiday.

"Snowfield Ballet" had about two more months before it would wrap up.

Having a day off was a joy for everyone.

A holiday is always better than none.

But being sealed off in a remote mountainous area, they couldn’t really go anywhere during this day off.

Director Qian organized a bonfire party.

Qiao Xi played with everyone until very late.

She had drunk a little; not drunk, but her face was tinged with a red flush.

Bei Bei ran up to her with a cell phone, "Sister Xi, a call from your brother-in-law."

Qiao Xi patted her face, "Hand me the phone."

Bei Bei was grinning mischievously, with a teasing look, "You and brother-in-law have a good chat, I won’t disturb you, ha, I’ll go play with the others."

"Go ahead."

Qiao Xi returned to her lodging.

She had been assigned a rural house, very rudimentary, built from mud, but it was so much better than others who were weathering it out in the open.

Due to signal issues, the phone screen was intermittently freezing.

Qiao Xi found a spot with better signal and answered the video call.

The man’s clear and weary face appeared on the screen.

"Are you done being busy?"

Listening to her soft voice, similar to a gentle murmur, any trace of coldness she might usually carry had completely vanished.

Her voice was tender and lazy, tinged with a faint smile.

Shen Dang’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Have you been drinking?"

"We had a bonfire party here, I drank a little."

"What did you say?"

Qiao Xi’s side had signal problems, and Shen Dang didn’t catch what she said.

He could only see her exquisitely beautiful little face, now showing a hint of playful charm.

Softly landing in his heart.
