My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 393 - 387: Film Festival 2

Chapter 393: Chapter 387: Film Festival 2

Qiao Xi lay on the chair by the window of the hotel room.

She propped her forehead with one hand, while her naturally curly bangs draped softly over her cheeks, exuding a languid charm.

The doctor had advised her to get more sunlight.

Hai City had been overcast for several days, but today, the weather suddenly cleared up, and the sun had come out in the afternoon.

Now, the sun was already setting in the west.

Its rays pierced the clouds and showered the earth, half of it reflected by buildings, shining onto others.

The sunlight also penetrated the glass window and shone on Qiao Xi.

Her gown was champagne-colored with a hint of pink, and it seemed to glow when the sunlight hit it.

No, it was she who was glowing.

She lay there.

Shen Dang just stood.

He leaned lazily against the window, his posture casually relaxed, standing right in front of Qiao Xi.

Hearing his question, Qiao Xi tilted her chin up slightly and narrowed her eyes, her eyes forming a soft arc of a smile.

Her eyes naturally cold, "Do I look nervous to you?"

Shen Dang smiled indifferently, "You don’t look nervous, but I’m afraid you’re silently anxious inside."

Qiao Xi’s health had largely recovered, but Shen Dang was still worried about her.

Shen Dang had also received an invitation to the film festival, so he would attend this time.

"No way."

Qiao Xi laughed and shook her head, "I’m not nervous."

She already knew the film was nominated; winning would depend on merit.

With so many outstanding films competing at this year’s Wan Hua Film Festival, whether she would win the award remained to be seen.

Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a flowing river.

The sunlight reflected off the river surface, making circles of ripples dance.

Like fireflies on the water.

Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze from the river, and when she looked at Shen Dang, she felt as if he was glowing.

He wore a classic black and white suit, his exquisite features and noble temperament making him stand out.

He was still wearing the tie she had given him.

He definitely had many ties.

But for this occasion, he chose the one she had given him.

The cufflinks were the pair she had bought for him while shopping at the mall with Su Tutu and Xie Baola.

It seems he was adorning himself with all the gifts she had given him.

Thinking this, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but smile.

Her eyelashes obscured the light in Shen Dang’s eyes, while his eyes seemed to possess a scattering of light, "What are you laughing about?"

Qiao Xi covered her lips with her hand, the corners of her eyes lifting with a hint of allure, yet as cold as a fairy in a painting.

"Can’t you change your tie?" Qiao Xi asked.

"You mean this one?"

Shen Dang pulled the tie out from his vest, purposely flaunting it in front of Qiao Xi as if to brag.

He met her eyes and continued, "You gave it to me, why should I change it?"

He said it as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

Qiao Xi elongated her tone, "Hmm," then shook her head, "But it doesn’t seem to match that well."

"Is that so?"

"Hmm." Qiao Xi nodded, then suggested, "I think a black striped one would look better."

Shen Dang glanced up slightly, his expression lax, "I happen to think this is quite nice."

He didn’t mind at all.

If the tie was from her, it was the best.

Who cares if it matched?

Watching the conflicted expression on Qiao Xi’s face, Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "Don’t I look good?"

Good-looking? How could he not be?

His face was one that could topple states and cities, likely to enchant countless women.

Before Qiao Xi could express her opinion, Shen Dang confidently beamed, "No need to say it, I can already see your admiration for your boyfriend in your eyes."

"..."

Qiao Xi wordlessly averted her gaze.

So narcissistic!

But she really couldn’t refute it.

Shen Dang chuckled, "Hungry? Want some water? I can have someone bring some over, and you can eat a little?"

Qiao Xi immediately looked at him and motioned with a "tch" sign with her hand, "I’m not eating! Your mom has been feeding me until I’m nearly overweight."

Eat more?

Once her health was completely restored, she needed to exercise.

"You’re not overweight." Shen Dang chuckled softly. "You’re just right now, a bit meaty. Otherwise, holding you wouldn’t be comfortable."

There was something bewitching about his laughter.

Qiao Xi almost believed him.

She curled her lips, "I didn’t ask you to hold me."

"Yeah, you didn’t ask, it’s just that I want to hold you. But really, you’re not overweight."

His voice was incredibly doting.

Every night, the two of them shared a bed, but Boss Shen had been monk-like for over a month.

He dared not risk anything with her in that condition.

He could only hold her while sleeping, doing nothing more.

Qiao Xi glanced at him, speaking leisurely, "On camera, people appear ten pounds heavier, don’t you know?"

"Has Fairy Qiao suddenly lost confidence in her appearance?" Shen Dang raised his eyebrow, with a teasing smile.

"That’s certainly not the case."

She knew she was beautiful.

But she had never been aggressive because of her beauty.

Qiao Xi’s red lips curved into a slight smile, "I will never lack confidence in my appearance."

Shen Dang, seeing her proud demeanor, really wanted to stroke her head, but her hair was done, so he dared not touch it.

"Well, there you go." Shen Dang took the opportunity to say, "Fill your stomach first; the film festival will last for several hours, you can’t go hungry."

Shen Dang asked the hotel staff to deliver the meal to the room.

Qiao Xi ate a bit with Shen Dang.

After eating, Qiao Xi asked Shen Dang to fetch her handbag which contained her lipstick.

Shen Dang handed it to her.

Seeing Qiao Xi taking out her lipstick, Shen Dang suddenly lifted her chin and kissed her lips a few times.

Qiao Xi paused in surprise; Shen Dang, looking into her clear, cold eyes, simply sat on the chair she was sitting on and embraced her waist, deepening the kiss.

The two hadn’t been intimate for a long time.

It was hard to avoid restless thoughts.

It’s the body’s most primal response.

No one can control it.

Qiao Xi’s breathing became disordered in an instant!

Before he could take another move, Qiao Xi hurriedly pushed him away.

Almost ensnared by this male enchantress!

Her cool eyes were wary, "Don’t mess around; if my styling gets disheveled, it’ll be a hassle!"

A light layer of gentle mist appeared in her eyes, as if water shimmered through them, with a faint pink hue at the corners—whether from his kisses or the eyeshadow.

Shen Dang’s fingers trailed over the corner of her lips.

A burning sensation followed wherever he touched her.

His voice was husky: "If not now, I won’t be able to once you put on lipstick."

Quite a cheeky statement from him.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him before pushing him away and applying her lipstick.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Bei Bei’s voice came in, "Sister Xi, it’s time to get ready to enter."

"I got it." Qiao Xi responded, then told Shen Dang, "I’ll go down first with Bei Bei."

Shen Dang smiled, "Okay, go ahead."

When Qiao Xi left, she ran into Su Tutu.

They went downstairs together.

Not long after Qiao Xi had left, Shen Dang also departed.

Just as they reached the ground floor, Jiang Yongge and Qin Mo approached, "Director Mo is waiting; let’s head over to join him."
