Chapter 370: Chapter 365 Don’t Cross the Line

Although she had already taken a shower before leaving the house, Qiao Xi still took another one before sleeping.

When she came out, she just heard a knock on the door.

She paused in her steps—other than Shen Dang, who else could it be?

Qiao Xi’s cool and lazy voice passed through the door, "What is it?"

"Yes."

"Then just say so."

Shen Dang was silent for two seconds, "You might need to open the door for me."

Qiao Xi frowned, "Why?"

Shen Dang calmly said, "The guest room has no mattress, did you forget?"

"Is that so?"

Qiao Xi was skeptical.

The last person who stayed in the guest room was Xie Baola. Could it be that Baola had packed up all the bed linens when she left?

Shen Dang said candidly, "Don’t believe me? You can come and see. Just one look and you’ll know if I’m lying."

Qiao Xi opened the door and seeing the man outside, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, "Maybe Baola packed them up."

Shen Dang then leaned against the wall, his posture lazy, "Tsk, you’re letting me stay in a room your best friend has stayed in?"

"Just change the bedspread."

Qiao Xi didn’t see it as a big issue.

"No." Shen Dang insisted, "I have a cleanliness obsession. Next time your best friend stays here, where will she sleep?"

Qiao Xi was silent.

But hadn’t he insisted on staying here himself?

Shen Dang grabbed her hand, his gaze directly peering into her bedroom, "Can’t I just stay here?"

His low voice inexplicably carried a hint of aggrievement, "I’ve gotten used to sleeping holding you. I might have insomnia if I sleep alone."

What kind of insomnia?

Qiao Xi wanted to object, but ultimately didn’t voice the words.

Seeing her hesitation, Shen Dang found more reason, "We’ve already slept together. What difference does it make to sleep apart now?"

His argument was sound.

The kind that was hard to argue against.

Qiao Xi glanced meaningfully downwards and said, "It seems no different, but I’m worried it might be hard for you."

Shen Dang’s brows quirked, barely visible, still worried about his discomfort?

"I’m not worried," Shen Dang said seriously, "Worst comes to worst, I’ll just take a cold shower."

Shen Dang met her watery eyes, "If you disagree, I still won’t do anything, I just want to hold you while I sleep."

Qiao Xi: "..."

He was quite flexible, wasn’t he?

Qiao Xi felt herself lose a bit of rationality, possibly influenced by the alcohol. Under his deep and affectionate gaze, Qiao Xi bizarrely agreed.

Before letting him in, Qiao Xi coldly warned him, "Don’t overstep."

"Mm."

Shen Dang agreed very readily.

Qiao Xi turned and walked back to the bedroom.

Shen Dang quickly curled his lips into a smile, his steps lax as he followed her into the room, closing the door behind him.

The room was filled with her scent, Shen Dang thought how he could finally enter her boudoir openly and legitimately.

This day had finally come.

Shen Dang lied on the bed, patting the spot beside him.

His posture was quite enticing.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips.

When Qiao Xi came over, Shen Dang’s warm body pressed close, hugging her.

This was her room, different in meaning from other places.

Qiao Xi dared not meet his eyes, burying her face in the pillow, murmured, "Sleeping."

"Be careful, you might have enough breath."

Shen Dang lifted her up and held her in his arms.

Qiao Xi’s body stiffened.

Shen Dang patted her head gently, his voice carrying a light sigh, "Don’t think too much, just sleep."

...

When Qiao Xi woke up the next day, Shen Dang was already gone.

He won’t be in Hai City for half a month; even with Assistant Gao around, there were still many things he needed to handle.

There was a message from Shen Dang on WeChat.

[I went to the office first. Remember to take a bodyguard when you go out, I made breakfast, don’t forget to eat.]

After reading, Qiao Xi put down her phone.

While eating breakfast, Qiao Xi specifically took a photo and sent it to Shen Dang.

His response was quick, telling Qiao Xi he was in a meeting.

Qiao Xi imagined him sneakily replying to her during the meeting, likely in his usual lazy, confident manner.

Everything seemed within his control.

Qiao Xi didn’t reply to avoid disturbing his meeting.

In the afternoon, seeing that it was about time, Qiao Xi had Zhou Ge drive her to IZ Company.

She met Wang Li there.

The contract termination had already been discussed with IZ.

IZ didn’t dare make it difficult for Qiao Xi, easily signing the termination contract with her, hoping for another cooperation opportunity in the future.

However, Qiao Xi’s current market value was completely different from before, both sides knew there wouldn’t be another cooperation.

After finishing, Qiao Xi and Wang Li went to GK Entertainment.

Shen Dang was at IDC Capital at the time.

After discussing some future developments with Wang Li, Qiao Xi planned to return to Sheng Birch Mansion.

Before she could leave the company, she received a call from Xie Baola.

"Paula."

"Baby." Xie Baola asked, "Are you home?"

"Not at the moment, I’m at the office, about to head back," Qiao Xi smiled, lips curving, "What’s up?"

"My dad found out you’re back, and he wants me to bring you home for dinner. I’ll come to pick you up."

Qiao Xi used to visit Xie’s Family often.

Xie Qian was also very kind to Qiao Xi.

Whenever he went on business trips or trips abroad, he would always bring back gifts for Xie Baola and include one for Qiao Xi.

He treated her like his own daughter.

Qiao Xi hadn’t visited Xie’s Family since Xie Baola returned to the country. Hearing this, she replied, "Okay, but my bodyguard is driving, I’ll go over by myself and meet you at your place."

"That works, see you later then."

"Mm, alright."

Qiao Xi hung up the phone.

As she left Wang Li’s office, she messaged Shen Dang, telling him she would be dining at Xie’s Family that evening.

As Qiao Xi got into the car, she instructed Zhou Ge to stop at a shopping mall first.

She wanted to buy some gifts before visiting.

Zhou Ge hesitated for a moment, "Miss Qiao, do you really need to go to the mall?"

Qiao Xi slightly lifted her eyelids, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem,"

As Qiao Xi entered the mall, Zhou Ge, not feeling entirely assured, had other bodyguards wait outside while he accompanied her alone.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Leaving the mall, Zhou Ge drove straight to Xie’s Villa.

Xie Baola was waiting outside.

Qiao Xi, carrying the gifts, followed Xie Baola into Xie’s Family.

Xie’s Family only had a few members left, now just Xie Baola and her father.

Aside from them, there was also a nanny who took care of their needs.

Dinner was personally cooked by Xie Qian.

During dinner, Xie Qian brought up the lifelong issue of Xie Baola.

"Xixi, now that Baola is back, you have to keep an eye on her for uncle, so she stops fooling around outside and quickly finds a boyfriend."

To carry on the Xie Family business.

What Xie Qian was worried about was that once he was gone, it would be hard for Xie Baola to fight alone.

Xie Baola was helpless.

She and Qiao Xi exchanged a helpless glance.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but smile, reassuringly said, "Uncle, Baola is still young. Don’t rush her; do you really want her to marry off while she’s still so young?"
