My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 357 - 355: Teacher Qiao Isn’t Afraid of Mice, Is She?

Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Teacher Qiao Isn’t Afraid of Mice, Is She?

"No, no." Zhou Ge hurriedly waved his hand, "I caught the bamboo rat up on the mountain, much better than those mushrooms."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."

"No trouble at all."

His salary was high, so what was this bit of trouble to him?

Zhou Ge accompanied Qiao Xi back.

When they reached the doorstep of the cabin, Zhou Ge consciously left, and Bei Bei wasn’t there either.

The rickety old wooden table in front of the house held tonight’s dinner.

There were three boxes in total, Qiao Xi didn’t think too much of it.

She picked up the food and was about to open the door when it swung open from the inside.

She was startled for a moment, then as she looked up at the man in front of her, her cool phoenix eyes widened slightly with both surprise and delight.

Shen Dang tilted his head and smiled casually, "I’m back."

Just like a husband waiting at home for his wife, Shen Dang naturally uttered this sentence.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but be taken aback, "How did you get here?"

Suddenly showing up like this, was this Flash’s doing?

The dark light in Shen Dang’s eyes fell on her face, "I wanted to see my girlfriend, so I came."

His lazy, indifferent smile was particularly captivating.

Qiao Xi’s eyes gleamed with joy, "But aren’t you busy?"

Shen Dang smiled and hooked her waist, "I arranged everything so that I can stay here and keep you company until the film wraps up."

Qiao Xi’s heart was filled with joy because of his sudden arrival, and she forgot that his appearance here could lead to unrest within the crew.

Like she was enamored by this man, she entered the house in a daze following Shen Dang.

"These days I can only follow you and eat the crew’s boxed meals." Shen Dang closed the door, his eyes drooping lazily as he looked at the food in her hands, "I’m hungry."

Saying so, he leaned his head against her shoulder, pressing his body weight onto her, his breathing a bit heavy.

Qiao Xi felt a tickling on her neck, pushed him away, and with slightly red ears said, "Then let’s have dinner first."

She realized, "No wonder Bei Bei brought three meal boxes, she and Zhou Ge must know you’re here, right?"

"Mhm." Shen Dang lazily replied, "I didn’t dare to disturb your filming, so I contacted Zhou Ge."

Boss Shen made himself sound so humble.

He even took the initiative to say, "My coming here might reveal our relationship to everyone, but I really can’t rest easy about you being alone. If you’re not ready to go public, I’ll just have Qian Kangkang arrange another place for me to stay."

Shen Dang had ulterior motives for leaving his work behind to come here.

Of course, it was mainly to accompany her.

Qian Kangkang, Director Qian’s full name.

As the biggest investor coming here was understandable, but such an obvious attempt at cover-up, couldn’t everyone see through it anyway?

Moreover, Qiao Xi was already prepared to go public with their relationship, naturally there was no need to hide anymore.

"No need." Qiao Xi said as she opened the boxed meals, "If we get found out, then we’ll go public."

Shen Dang lifted an eyelid, his dark eyes shining for a moment, then quickly dimmed.

Despite being thrilled inside, he teased Qiao Xi, "Xixi, I didn’t do all this to pressure you to go public."

"I know." Qiao Xi smiled at him faintly, "I’ve made up my mind. Let’s eat first."

Besides the two boxed meals from the crew, another box contained all meats, "This must be the bamboo rat Zhou Ge caught in the mountains."

She had never eaten bamboo rat.

Thinking of a creature like a rat, Qiao Xi just couldn’t stomach it.

Seeing that she hadn’t taken any, Shen Dang picked up a piece and put it into her boxed meal, persuasively saying, "The meat is fragrant, delicious, and fresh, you can’t find this taste outside, try a bit first."

Boss Shen was always picky about food, so if he said it was good, it was.

Qiao Xi was still resistant, "I won’t eat it, you eat."

Shen Dang smiled slowly, "How will you know what it’s like if you don’t try it? Teacher Qiao isn’t afraid of rats, is she?"

Indeed she was afraid.

But could she admit it?

Qiao Xi hesitated, then took a careful bite, her eyes suddenly lighting up, "It’s actually quite tasty."

The meat was juicy and had a faint bamboo fragrance, and with the added seasonings, the flavors directly hit the taste buds.

Indeed, some things can only be appreciated after trying them.

Qiao Xi had discovered a new world.

Shen Dang’s eyes sparkled with more laughter, "Then eat a bit more."

Qiao Xi tilted her head and asked playfully, "Should Boss Shen’s Tan Garden consider adding this dish?"

Shen Dang played along, "If Mrs. Shen says to add it, we can add it."

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes, deciding to stay silent.

After finishing dinner, Qiao Xi placed the trash bag at the door.

It was getting dark, the sky tinged with ink blue, and the evening’s darkness was settling in. Somewhere in the distance, lights from the crew’s set shone faintly.

The cabin was too small, and it was still early, so Qiao Xi suggested, "How about we take a walk outside?"

Shen Dang looked at her in surprise, "Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by others?"

Qiao Xi clicked her tongue lightly, "Are you coming or not?"

"I am!"

Shen Dang chuckled lowly.

How could he have a reason to refuse?

Shen Dang took Qiao Xi’s hand and walked out.

Since it was the final scene, there weren’t many actors left, and together with the crew, there were less than fifty people.

The actors’ accommodations were the empty houses left behind when the villagers moved out, which Director Qian had paid to use.

The houses in the countryside were all close together, yet Qiao Xi and Shen Dang hadn’t encountered anyone else on their walk.

It was only on their way back that they ran into Director Qian.

Director Qian froze on the spot upon seeing their intertwined hands.

The shock of seeing this firsthand was greater than what Bei Bei had mentioned, so just what was the nature of these two’s relationship?

Director Qian didn’t dare to probe and came up warmly, "President Shen, you’re here! Why didn’t you say anything? I would have arranged a warm reception for you."

"I came to accompany my girlfriend. Just treat me as one of the actors’ family members," Shen Dang said.

Director Qian almost chuckled wryly.

So these two were boyfriend and girlfriend, but who would dare to treat this big shot as just family?

Director Qian respectfully said, "How long does President Shen plan to stay?"

"Until Xixi wraps up."

"Then I will have someone prepare accommodations for you."

Shen Dang felt like this director was clueless, his voice turning colder, "I’ll just stay with my girlfriend."

Qiao Xi slightly curled the corner of her lips into a smile, remaining silent.

"Ah, ah! If that’s the case..." Director Qian, catching on, awkwardly laugh "It’s just, I’m afraid President Shen would find the place too simple."

Having this mogul appear made this impoverished place seem as if it had been gilded.

"No." Shen Dang was a bit impatient, "Xixi, let’s go back."

The man’s eyes became incredibly soft when he looked at Qiao Xi, his voice completely different.

"Okay." Qiao Xi smiled and followed up with a casual, "See you tomorrow, Director Qian."

"...See you tomorrow."

Director Qian watched their retreating figures, hand in hand, and as he came to his senses, immediately made a call to instruct his assistant to convey his message.

The gist was to let everyone know that whatever they should not see, they shouldn’t gossip about online, or they’d end up like the person who leaked information about the crew.
