Chapter 398: Chapter 392: Do You Want to Starve Me to Death?

Qiao Xi didn’t win the Best Actress award. There were those who ridiculed, those who were disappointed, those who sympathized, and those who hoped she would continue to persevere.

Aside from these reactions, many unedited photos of Qiao Xi also appeared online.

They were so beautiful that despite not being retouched, they were good enough to be used as screensavers.

There was also an animated GIF of Qiao Xi smiling at the high-definition camera.

Her demeanor was very graceful, noble, and elegant, and she had a certain aura.

When the presenter announced Mo Huatang had won the award, the live camera panned to the face of the defeated Qiao Xi.

There was a light smile on her face, which grew broader when she saw the camera.

She smiled gracefully and at ease, revealing her white, neatly arranged teeth and eyes sparkling with fine, confident light.

Bright eyes and white teeth; no more than this.

That smile of Qiao Xi was so pretty that everyone who saw it couldn’t help but praise her beauty.

To say it captivated the city was no exaggeration.

Because of that smile from Qiao Xi, she gained over five hundred thousand new followers on Weibo overnight.

These tags quickly climbed the trending searches.

Qiao Xi didn’t bother checking Weibo, as the online atmosphere was too negative now.

Mainly because she had been tormented back and forth all night by Shen Dang and hadn’t had the time to check Weibo.

Previously, Shen Dang, being considerate of her body, hadn’t dared harbor any amorous thoughts, let alone do anything.

Tonight, the man starved for over a month seemed to want to make up for all the wasted time.

Qiao Xi couldn’t take it and begged him for mercy.

Listening to the delicate voice with light panting beside his ear, Shen Dang felt as if his heart had been scorched.

He didn’t stop but instead became increasingly vigorous.

In the end, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but cry.

Only when dawn broke did Qiao Xi finally end her night of deep fluctuating experiences.

Exhausted, she fell asleep immediately, still with tears at the corners of her eyes.

Shen Dang kissed her tear-stained eyes devoutly and held her, his most treasured possession, to take her to the bathroom for a shower.

Throughout the process, Qiao Xi had no awareness.

Qiao Xi didn’t know how long she had slept; it just felt like an exceptionally long slumber.

It was Shen Dang who woke her up.

"What time is it?"

Qiao Xi’s first words revealed a dry and hoarse voice.

Flashes of the previous night surged through her mind, and she wished she could kick Shen Dang out of the bed!

"Two in the afternoon."

"What?"

Shocked, Qiao Xi sat up straight out of bed.

The movement pulled at her sore nerves, and she realized her whole body ached; there was no spot without soreness.

Qiao Xi’s resentful feelings toward Shen Dang peaked.

"Look at the mess you made last night!"

Shen Dang smiled playfully, "Indeed, you also enjoyed it last night, didn’t you?"

He had the nerve to say that?

"Shen Dang!"

Qiao Xi was furious, gritting her teeth as she called his name.

Boss Shen looked entirely content and hurried to placate her as she grew angry, "Sorry, I’ll be gentler next time, hmm? I indeed was too forceful last night, it’s my fault for not restraining myself, I’ve really been holding back for too long, I’m truly sorry."

Qiao Xi didn’t feel he was sorry at all.

This male siren was clearly taking advantage and playing innocent!

"Thinking about next time?" Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow, her voice cool and clear, "There won’t be a next time."

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, "After starving me for a month, do you still want to starve me to death?"

Qiao Xi replied coldly and mercilessly, "Yes, that’s exactly what I want."

"That won’t do."

Shen Dang reached out to touch her, but Qiao Xi slapped his hand away, wrapping herself in the blanket with a guarded look.

Her eyes glared furiously at him, "I call the shots on this matter!"

Shen Dang couldn’t help but chuckle, "What if you’re the one who wants it?"

"Shut up!"

Qiao Xi didn’t want to hear him talk like this.

This man was always so improper.

"Don’t be angry, okay?"

Boss Shen knew he had gone too far the previous night.

He propped his hands on either side of her and promised in a low voice, "Next time I really will control myself."

Qiao Xi sneered coldly, "Men’s words can be trusted?"

"Men’s words should not be trusted," Shen Dang paused purposefully, his words measured, "but you can trust me."

Qiao Xi sneered again, "As if I would trust you."

Shen Dang smiled helplessly, "Why don’t you trust me?"

Blurted out in anger and quickly stopping herself, Qiao Xi could not bear to continue, "Last night when I asked you to stop, you didn’t, and when I pleaded with you—you—"

She suddenly couldn’t go on.

What was she saying?

"Sorry, it really was my fault."

Shen Dang could only apologize once more.

He paused, then explained, "I did intend to let you off last night, but when you cried and begged me, I wanted you to cry even harder, I... I didn’t do it on purpose."

Qiao Xi: "!!!"

What kind of person was he?

Her face flushed with anger.

She stuck her leg out from under the blanket and kicked at him.

"Get out!"

Anger made her flush, and despite the outrage in her eyes, Shen Dang thought she looked irresistibly lovely.

She’d kicked him, but he wasn’t annoyed; instead, he glanced at the time and said, "Aren’t you getting up? We’ll miss our flight if we don’t hurry."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi grew even angrier, "You still have the cheek to say that? Isn’t it because you kept pestering me last night that I’m still asleep?"

"I was wrong; I apologize."

Shen Dang hugged her, rubbing her head gently as he coaxed in a low voice.

"Get out!"

Qiao Xi seethed through her teeth.

"Alright, I’ll go out first, and you get up and wash up."

As Shen Dang closed the door behind him, Qiao Xi threw off the blanket and began to get out of bed, but her legs gave way, and she almost fell to her knees.

Just as Shen Dang pushed the door back open and asked what she wanted to eat, he saw Qiao Xi kneeling by the bed and strode toward her.

"Don’t come over!"

Qiao Xi tried to get up.

Shen Dang wasn’t one to listen.

He bent over and picked her up.

Assertively, he said, "I’ll carry you to wash up."

Qiao Xi pushed at his shoulders, annoyed, "I don’t need you!"

"Stop it!"

Shen Dang’s face darkened slightly, and an oppressive aura spread out from him.

He could be quite domineering at times.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips.

Shen Dang carried her to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste for her, and filled a cup for her to rinse her mouth.

Qiao Xi: "..."

His delicate and expressive brows softened with tenderness, his demeanor careless and languid, yet even these simple actions had a unique charm.

During this time, Shen Dang had been taking meticulous care of her, and Qiao Xi had experienced his tenderness and partiality.

If he hadn’t gone too far last night, Qiao Xi wouldn’t be so angry now.

After she finished washing up, Shen Dang carried her back to the room.

He took a set of clothes from the closet for her, "Do you want to wear these?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

"Then you get changed, and I’ll go make something to eat."

As Shen Dang turned to leave, Qiao Xi pulled at his sleeve.

Shen Dang lowered his brows, "Hmm? What’s up?"

Qiao Xi withdrew her hand, "Let’s just eat out instead and head to the airport after."
