My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 373 - 368: What to Do Instead of Sleeping

Chapter 373: Chapter 368: What to Do Instead of Sleeping

Has it been an hour yet?

She hadn’t even bothered to check the time.

Qiao Xi emerged from the bathtub, took a shower in the shower stall, and then slipped into her pajamas before heading out.

Her cheeks were flushed red from the steam of the hot water, and the corners of her eyes were damp.

Shen Dang felt irresistibly drawn to her gaze as it lingered on him, as though beckoning him to do something mischievous.

Boss Shen, who had lived a life of celibacy for over twenty years, seemed to be on the verge of surrendering to her again and again!

It was driving him crazy!

Suddenly, Shen Dang grabbed her wrist.

Qiao Xi jumped in fright and drew back. "What are you doing?"

His gaze was overpowering.

Qiao Xi thought back to what had happened between them on the couch just earlier...

Seeing her flustered, Shen Dang hastily suppressed the surging desire within him and simply said, "Kiss you."

His eyes were still innocent at that moment.

It was just that those affectionate peach-blossom eyes seemed to carry a different charm whenever they looked at someone.

Wasn’t it fine to just kiss and do nothing else?

Qiao Xi: "..."

How could he so casually utter the words "kiss you"?

"Stop messing around."

Qiao Xi pushed him away. "My phone is broken, are the stores still open? I need to buy a new one."

Boss Shen felt a tinge of regret.

In a calm voice, he said, "I’ll have Assistant Gao bring you a new one tomorrow; there’s no need to go out at this time."

Qiao Xi shook her phone. "Then I want one that’s the same as this one."

Shen Dang gave her a casual smile. "Okay, I’ll take care of it. Anything else you need?"

"No, that’s all." Qiao Xi turned her head towards him. "You go take a bath."

Shen Dang gave her a kiss against the wall before he went to bathe.

Qiao Xi thought he was kiss-crazy.

Su Tutu and Sheng Chao were done with their work; the former wanted to call Qiao Xi but found the call wouldn’t go through.

Su Tutu looked aggrieved. "It’s all your fault!"

Sheng Chao, looking completely satisfied, grinned attractively. "How is it my fault?"

He hadn’t intended to pick up Qiao Xi’s call; it was just that he had accidentally answered when trying to hang up.

He didn’t have a habit of letting friends overhear his intimate moments.

Su Tutu was annoyed. "I can’t get through to Xixi!"

Was that supposed to be his fault?

"Hmm, blame me then," Sheng Chao amicably said. "We’ll call again tomorrow. It’s not like it’s urgent."

But Su Tutu insisted, "No, it must be important if Xixi is calling me!"

Sheng Chao, with the hand that held the cigarette, gently patted her head. "So, what can we do if her phone isn’t going through?"

Su Tutu’s eyes lit up. "Didn’t Boss Shen go to see Xixi a while ago? Her movie just wrapped up; Boss Shen should be with her now. Honey, use your phone to call Boss Shen and see."

Sheng Chao, holding her in his arms, dialed Shen Dang’s number with one hand.

Shen Dang’s deep voice came through, "What’s up?"

Sheng Chao asked directly, "I’m not looking for you, is Xixi with you?"

Shen Dang looked at the person beside him, managing a lazy hum with a laugh in his voice.

"Of course, she’s with me."

He sounds quite smug.

Noticing his pride, Sheng Chao gave a chuckle. "My wife’s looking for her, hand the phone to her."

Shen Dang handed the phone to Qiao Xi. "Xixi, it’s Su Tutu’s call."

Qiao Xi put the phone to her ear. "Tutu?"

Su Tutu asked, "Your phone isn’t connecting; I had to have Brother Chao call Boss Shen’s phone, what’s up?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the man who was staring at her seriously and pursed her lips subtly. "Nothing much now."

Su Tutu sighed. "...You’re not acting normal!"

Qiao Xi: "..."

You’re the one acting weird!

She said, "Really, it’s nothing."

With Shen Dang watching her, she couldn’t ask anything.

She didn’t want to face another social death.

"Okay then," Su Tutu felt it odd. "But why is your phone suddenly not connecting?"

"My phone is dead."

"Dead?"

What does that mean?

Qiao Xi faintly smiled, "It means it’s broken."

Su Tutu stared dumbly at Sheng Chao.

It couldn’t be because of them, right?

Sheng Chao’s eyes lifted slightly. "What’s wrong?"

With a hehe, Su Tutu smiled, "I’ll mourn your phone for three minutes in silence."

Qiao Xi: "...Hang up!"

After hanging up the call, Qiao Xi returned the phone to Shen Dang.

"How could a perfectly good phone just die?"

Shen Dang found it strange.

"Don’t talk about it!"

Qiao Xi didn’t want to bring up what just happened.

She sprawled on the bed, burying her face in the pillow.

Witnessing this, Shen Dang could only pull her back up.

"Alright, I won’t talk about it, let’s sleep." His dark eyes held a deep shadow, and his tone was lazy, but his voice was laced with a mischievous chuckle. "If you can’t sleep, we can do something."

...

The next day, when Assistant Gao came to take Shen Dang to the office, he indeed brought a new phone for Qiao Xi.

It was the same model she had before.

Shen Dang also took the opportunity to swap phones.

Now they were using couple phones.

Qiao Xi found his behavior somewhat childish, but for some reason, she also found it sweet.

It was a peculiar feeling.

Shen Dang handed his phone to Assistant Gao, asking him to transfer all the data from the old phone to the new one, while he had breakfast with Qiao Xi.

After breakfast, Shen Dang left for the company.

Before leaving, he kissed her again.

Today, Qiao Xi had an offline event to attend.

The location was in Hai City.

Wang Li and Bei Bei were accompanying her.

Zhou Ge and other bodyguards also stood guard around her.

Once the event was over, and seeing that it was nearly dinner time, Qiao Xi asked Zhou Ge to take her to IDC Capital.

Qiao Xi didn’t tell Shen Dang when she decided to come.

She planned to surprise him.

Qiao Xi made a low-key appearance at IDC Capital’s building.

Aside from Assistant Gao, no one else knew she was at the company.

Assistant Gao asked respectfully, "Madam, would you like me to inform President Shen?"

It must be the first time the madam has come here.

The boss would surely be thrilled to know.

Qiao Xi gave him a faint smile, "No need, there’s no rush. I’ll wait for him to finish his work."

"Alright then."

Assistant Gao thoughtfully brought Qiao Xi a cup of coffee and some pastries and then went back to his work.

Qiao Xi sat in the reception room, waiting for Shen Dang to finish work.

But within minutes, Shen Dang came through the door.

Seeing the man enter, Qiao Xi was momentarily taken aback, yet the corners of her eyes and brows lifted in a light smile.

"I specifically told Assistant Gao not to tell you I was here; how did you find out?"

Shen Dang cupped the back of her head, pulling her closer, and kissed her lightly on the lips. His handsome face beamed with a smile.

"This is my company. Even if he didn’t tell me, I knew you were here."

He was clearly quite pleased with himself.

And Qiao Xi’s visit made him even happier.

Qiao Xi dodged a bit, her phoenix eyes gleaming with moisture. "Are you done with work? If you’re not, go ahead. I’ll wait for you to finish."

"You’re being so nice today?"

As if she wasn’t usually nice to him.

But then Qiao Xi thought, perhaps Shen Dang was nicer to her.

"Yes, I’m just that nice," Qiao Xi said, laughing first, "Go ahead with your work; we’ll go for dinner when you’re finished."

Leaning against the sofa, Shen Dang smirked lazily, "Do I need to work when my girlfriend is here?"
