My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 45 Not My Woman

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Not My Woman

"Checking out your woman with my woman."

The statement wasn’t a tongue twister; Shen Dang figured it out and chuckled with a slow drawl, "But she’s not my woman."

Sheng Chao didn’t argue.

Leaning against the windowsill, Shen Dang asked, "You sure took your sweet time with that honeymoon, when did you get back?"

After all the entanglements, he had finally embraced the person he loved.

Sheng Chao was in high spirits because of the joyous occasion, "Got back yesterday, no need to be envious, you can too."

Shen Dang scoffed, "Hanging up."

Why did he even take this call?

Heh.

"Let’s go out for a meal together."

"Beep—"

Shen Dang hung up the phone.

Sheng Chao walked into the hospital room and spoke to the two women, "It’s noon already, let’s go grab lunch, then I’ll return to Hai City."

Su Tutu looped her arm through Qiao Xi’s, "Let’s go, Xixi, let’s eat Brother Chao out of house and home."

Qiao Xi found it hard to refuse, "There aren’t any fans outside, are there?"

Sheng Chao said, "We’ll go straight to the underground parking lot."

Inside a private room of a Chinese restaurant.

Sheng Chao poured a cup of tea and pushed the cup towards Su Tutu, raising his cool gaze, "Xixi, go ahead and order first, we can order more when the other person arrives."

Su Tutu asked with confusion, "Who?"

Bending down his dark head, Sheng Chao whispered into Su Tutu’s ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"That’s fine for now," Qiao Xi said after placing the order, and the waiter gently shut the door of the private room as he left.

Soon after, Shen Dang pushed the door open and walked in, always with his nonchalant demeanor. His footsteps paused imperceptibly at the sight of Qiao Xi, then acted as if nothing had happened.

"You’re here, just waiting on you," Sheng Chao motioned for him to sit.

Shen Dang hummed lightly from his throat.

Only the seat next to Qiao Xi was available, so Shen Dang sat down beside her.

Qiao Xi felt the chair beside her sink slightly, the scent of a man, seemingly with a faint hint of ebony and agarwood, drifted over.

Glancing his way, Qiao Xi said, "I thought you’d gone back." She hadn’t expected him to still be around.

Shen Dang let out a knowing sneer, "I arrived in Jiang City from the airport at four in the morning, didn’t sleep all night, just caught a short nap on the plane, only someone as heartless as you would make me leave as soon as I arrived."

Qiao Xi: "???"

Wasn’t it himself who said he was leaving?

Qiao Xi looked at him with a slightly odd expression.

Shen Dang added with deliberate slowness, "Also, it was I who booked the hotel room myself."

"Oh," Qiao Xi seemed to understand, "So, do you want me to pay you back for the room? How much?"

The man flew to see her, so surely she should cover that cost.

As she spoke, she even took out her phone, ready to make a transfer.

Watching her WeChat screen, Shen Dang couldn’t help but let out a real snort of laughter this time, "Am I short of money for hotels?"

Isn’t he?

Qiao Xi blinked her cool eyes, somewhat perplexed, "Then why did you mention it to me?"

Casting a meaningful glance at her, Shen Dang’s lips parted lightly, "...You do have a knack for focusing on the important bits."

Qiao Xi said, "Speak human language."

Why always be so cryptic?

Su Tutu watched the back-and-forth between the two, feeling an epiphany, no wonder these two were married – the banter, the ability to give as good as one gets with Boss Shen.

Worthy of her sister!

"The way you two get along on your own is just too adorable!" They’re so ship-worthy!

Qiao Xi: "???"

Shen Dang: "???"

What are they even saying?

Sheng Chao rested his chin on his hand, turned his head, and chuckled, "Wife, how could you tell?"

He always looked at Su Tutu with eyes brimming with tender affection, as if there was a deeper love hidden beneath.

Proudly arching an eyebrow, Su Tutu said, "Flirting and scolding, if that’s not love, what is? Just like us, Brother Chao."

She acted like she had discovered something earth-shattering.

Boss Shen and her sister, their dynamic was nothing like what was rumored outside!

Qiao Xi: "..."

Be quiet, sister.

"Yeah, but I don’t hit you in everyday life," Sheng Chao bent down and kissed Su Tutu on the lips.

Only in bed did they engage in such acts.

Sheng Chao pulled back from her lips with a clear conscience, and Su Tutu lifted her head and returned the kiss.

Shen Dang gave them a sidelong glance, his eyes full of disdain, "Can you not do that in public?"

Sheng Chao said, "Can’t help it."

Shen Dang laughed contemptuously, "I’ve lost my appetite for this meal!"

Grinning, Su Tutu teased, "Boss Shen, you can show off your affection in front of us too."

Show off affection?

Shen Dang turned to look at Qiao Xi, whose pale and clean profile was cool and tinged with a healthy blush. The curved lashes cast shadows under her eyelids, and when she looked up, there was a glimmer in her eyes.

She looked across the table, "Shouldn’t the dishes be ready now?"

"Have we ordered?" Shen Dang shifted his gaze, unmoved by the beauty, "What did we order?"

The couple opposite didn’t answer, and Qiao Xi said indifferently, "Just a few dishes, see if you want to add anything more, Sheng Chao is treating."

"Mhm, if he’s paying, I’ll order plenty."

"Eating Brother Chao out of his fortune!"

"You won’t eat me out of fortune."

At the dinner table, it seemed as if two worlds were divided, one filled with pink bubbles, the other silent without a word.

Qiao Xi dabbed her lips and rose gracefully, "I’m done eating, you guys take your time, I’m off to the restroom."

As the door opened and closed, Su Tutu, propping her chin up, inquired, "Boss Shen, what exactly are your feelings for my sister?"

Shen Dang raised his brows leisurely, "She is my wife, understand?"

Su Tutu: "..."

Understand what? What kind of answer is that?

Su Tutu wanted to ask more, but Sheng Chao subtly pinched her hand, "Don’t ask, we’re not as lovey-dovey as them."

Shen Dang scornfully scoffed at him.

When Qiao Xi returned, the four left the private room.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Dang stood with one hand in his pocket, at the boundary of light and shadow, "Did you talk to Madam Shen?"

Qiao Xi hadn’t expected Shen Dang to bring it up, and her response was vague, "I got busy and forgot."

Shen Dang didn’t challenge her lie, "Just say a word to reassure her."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Okay."

Whether she would actually do it was another matter altogether.

"Brother Chao, you’ll go back to Hai City with Boss Shen, and I’ll return to the hospital with Xixi, have a smooth trip."

Sheng Chao really didn’t want to leave her alone here, but she loved acting, and to love her was to grant her dream.

He wrapped his arms around Su Tutu’s waist, and when their bodies were close, he lifted her up with strength and pressed a deep and lingering kiss on her lips.

This took Qiao Xi by surprise.

Qiao Xi turned away, unintentionally meeting Shen Dang’s gaze, and she swiftly averted her eyes feeling awkward.

Shen Dang noticed her blushing face and snickered, then turned to Sheng Chao, "Are you done or not?"

...

In the afternoon, Director Ye came to Qiao Xi’s hospital room with a contract.

Sitting on the sofa peeling an apple and resting her legs, Su Tutu’s features carried an aggression, "Director Ye, let’s not rush into signing the contract."
