Chapter 349: Chapter 347 When Can I Have a Legitimate Identity

Separated by the smartphone screen, Qiao Xi saw his clear and handsome face tinged with a hint of faint fatigue.

Shen Dang, listening to her gentle, soft-spoken voice, saw no trace of her usual aloofness, only a soft laziness, with a light smile accompanying her words and the sound of the wind coming from her side.

"Um, I’m done," he said.

Shen Dang leaned back lazily in his chair, his eyes deeply fixed on her, and he instantly noticed something off about her.

The man narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her closely, "Have you been drinking?"

Her state was always different when she had been drinking, something Boss Shen was very familiar with.

"Yeah, the crew had a bonfire party, and I drank a little," Qiao Xi chuckled while leaning her cheek on her hand, "Not much."

She didn’t dare to drink more than she could handle.

"What did you say?"

Qiao Xi’s signal was intermittent, and Shen Dang couldn’t hear her clearly.

He only saw her stunningly exquisite face, adorned with a hint of playfulness.

Softly, it landed in his heart.

Seeing her through the screen like this was already delightful enough, as if all his fatigue was swept away because of her.

"I said—" Qiao Xi repeated earnestly what she had just said.

This time, Shen Dang heard her clearly, a smile touching his eyes and brows.

"Don’t drink too much if you can’t handle your liquor."

After all, it’s not safe without him around.

"I really didn’t drink much," Qiao Xi almost raised her hand to swear.

Shen Dang looked at the background behind her, his eyebrows barely perceptibly furrowed, "Are you still outside?"

"Yeah, the signal is really bad over here; I thought it might be better at this spot, and there’s no one to disturb."

Though the signal wasn’t much better there.

What Shen Dang saw was the occasionally freezing video on his phone.

His phone just happened to freeze at some of her quirky expressions she didn’t usually show, making Shen Dang laugh deeply,

Qiao Xi, while speaking, noticed he was constantly laughing and confusedly asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Dang said without hesitation, "Seeing my girlfriend happy."

A sudden burst of sweet talk.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Silently, Qiao Xi cursed him for being slick.

But she was quite happy to see Shen Dang.

It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and video calls over the phone couldn’t quench their longing.

For the first time, Qiao Xi hoped the movie would wrap up quickly so she could return to Hai City.

Having drunk alcohol, Qiao Xi’s thoughts were considerably dulled than usual tonight, and she forgot some questions she wanted to ask Shen Dang.

Eventually, as Shen Dang noted it was getting late and saw she was still alone outside, he urged her to go back and rest.

As Qiao Xi walked back to her place, she continued to video call Shen Dang.

"Teacher Qiao!"

Not far ahead, an actor from the crew quickly approached her.

Qiao Xi paused, her complexion slightly cool under the night sky, "Why did you come here?"

"I saw you walking here alone; I was worried about you being by yourself, so I came to check on you."

Qiao Xi: "..."

A clearly caring statement fell into Boss Shen’s ears and suddenly seemed unusual.

An outsider caring for his girlfriend, and he had stumbled upon it.

Tsk.

"Xixi, who’s talking?"

Shen Dang called out languidly and faintly, his tone asserting a sense of possession.

His voice traveled through the phone, and the male actor heard it, his expression stiffening, "... Teacher Qiao is on the phone?"

"With a male actor from the team."

Qiao Xi first replied to Shen Dang, then lifted her phone in front of the male actor, smiling lightly, "I’m video chatting with my boyfriend."

The male actor was startled, "Boyfriend?"

"Yes."

Qiao Xi had quickly waved her phone, so the male actor couldn’t see who was on the screen clearly.

Rumors had spread that Qiao Xi was married, but the male actor didn’t believe them; now hearing her mention a boyfriend, his expression inevitably turned strange.

So, was it a husband or a boyfriend?

Qiao Xi didn’t want to talk too much, so she nodded politely and walked past him.

"Xi Bao, when can I finally have a legitimate status?"

The male actor still could hear the man’s pleasing voice through the phone, carrying a husky magnetism.

Some men have voices that alone can make one feel inferior.

Moreover, he called Teacher Qiao ’Xi Bao,’ clearly indicating a familiar tone.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly at the screen, her voice pleasurable, "Soon, I’ll give you a legitimate status."

Shen Dang’s tone lifted, "Really?"

Qiao Xi saw his eyebrows rise, bearing a trace of his usual spirited demeanor.

"Of course."

Qiao Xi spoke without any hesitation.

During the time they were apart, she had come to understand what Shen Dang meant to her and openly admitted the feelings she had harbored from the start.

Liking someone, there’s no need to hide it.

Love is a deep affection; she might not understand what love is, but her feelings for Shen Dang had deepened gradually.

A slowly flowing relationship was what she sought and cherished.

Conveniently, Shen Dang provided her with what she desired.

Including the sense of security she needed.

Open and honest.

Without concealing.

So, she too wanted to be a courageous person in this relationship.

Accompanied by Shen Dang’s video call, Qiao Xi returned to her dwelling, and then they ended the video chat.

Simultaneously,

In Hai City,

The entire city seemed to have quieted down; the vast, quiet president’s office gave him an illusion of the world seemingly hushed.

Yet, the brightly lit high-rises between outside demonstrated the world’s bustling, lively extravagance.

Hai City’s night was forever dazzling and extravagant.

Shen Dang lowered his head and massaged his brows, then finally picked up his suit jacket to leave the president’s office.

Regardless of whether Qiao Xi’s recent words were drunken ramblings or something else, Shen Dang felt a deep joy within.

The bright hallway lights watched his imposing figure enter the elevator.

Under the cooperation between Shen Dang and Xie Baola, the actions against Chu Group had reached an intense stage.

During this period, Chu’s partnerships repeatedly encountered issues, and invested projects stalled due to various reasons.

Chu Group lost a lot of money due to poor management, leading to panic and a sharp decline in the company’s stock price.

At this time, Shen Dang was discreetly buying Chu’s scattered shares at high prices.

Mr. Chu belatedly realized someone was targeting the Chu Family.

When Mr. Chu sought help, the major families of Hai City, including the Qu Family, the Tang Family, and Sheng Chao, were all good friends of Shen Dang.

Chu Group was like being shrouded in clouds, plagued by misfortunes, and other enterprises in Hai City dared not get involved with Chu, fearing collateral damage.

Chu Group had no avenues left.

Chu Xiuyun truly experienced what it meant to be overwhelmingly busy during these days.

Shen Dang had only shown him an appetizer before, and slowly it turned into a gaping maw.

Chu Xiuyun realized it too late.

He hadn’t expected the Chu Group to be so vulnerable.

Qiao Xi was unaware of these developments.

...

After the National Day.
