My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 57: The Drink You’re Having Is Mine

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Drink You’re Having Is Mine

Qiao Xi recognized this person; he was a highly experienced director and an esteemed senior.

Without being either haughty or humble, Qiao Xi responded, "I’m currently filming a Republic Era drama under Director Ye Shenghai."

The man said, "Ye Shenghai, I know him, he’s quite alright, but with an extraordinary appearance like yours, there will be a lot of limitations in the film industry."

Too ethereal, too beautiful, one is fated to only play certain types of characters, never breaking through one’s limitations.

Qiao Xi frowned slightly, then replied modestly and calmly, "Senior, art is inherently boundless, just as human potential isn’t limited to one place. Art is about creativity and value. I believe, no matter what kind of role it is, as long as one can grasp that point, there won’t be any limitations."

Well said!

Su Tutu couldn’t help but applaud Qiao Xi in her heart.

These days, old directors, with their high fame and high standards, sometimes may not appreciate the industry’s popular stars.

But how can you be sure that this popular star won’t become a powerful actor?

Moreover, Qiao Xi’s acting has never been criticized by the audience!

She studied acting in college, which is directly relevant to her profession, and the audience has always recognized her talent.

But the director was also right; the scripts that come Qiao Xi’s way are all suited to beautiful characters.

It’s impossible for such a fairy to play an ugly woman.

However, opportunities often come with time.

Qiao Xi was not in any rush.

There was a glass of wine in front of her, which she thought was poured by someone else, so she picked it up and took a sip.

The wine slid down her throat, leaving a sweet aftertaste.

The few people nearby gave her subtle looks.

Even Shen Dang turned his head towards her, his eyes holding an indescribable meaning.

What’s going on, why are they looking at her like that?

Shen Dang kindly reminded her, "Miss Qiao, the wine you are drinking is mine."

When Qiao Xi had sat down, Shen Dang had moved aside slightly, and the glass of wine ended up in front of her.

This was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Qiao Xi didn’t know whether to put down the glass or not.

How was she supposed to know it was Shen Dang’s wine!

"Sorry, President Shen," Qiao Xi said as she put the glass back, her hair falling over her slightly red ears.

So awkward!

Why didn’t this person remind her earlier, was he deliberately making her look foolish?

"Quickly apologize to President Shen."

Shen Dang rested his hand on the back of the sofa, and upon hearing this, he did not move. His eyes half-lidded, it was even harder to read his emotions.

That senior executive then took a glass of wine from the waiter.

The transparent goblet contained white liquid.

Shen Dang watched her with a playful gaze, his relaxed and elegant demeanor showing no intention of speaking up for Qiao Xi.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qiao Xi had no choice but to accept the glass, "President Shen, I toast to you."

Shen Dang picked up the glass that Qiao Xi had drunk from.

He lowered his head; there was a faint lipstick mark on the rim, filled with amorous allure.

Qiao Xi also saw it, "Let’s get another glass."

Her hand was halfway extended when she saw Shen Dang tilt his head back and down the drink, then lick his lips at the end.

His tongue swept over, and those thin lips turned even redder, as if a demon just sucked in vitality, turning into a human.

Everyone: "..."

What more was there to misunderstand?

Clearly, the big boss had taken a liking to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi: "..."

What did that mean?

Was he deliberately disgusting her?

Damn men!!!

Su Tutu: "..."

Fuck!

This is over!

If this isn’t love, what is?

This is love!

Qiao Xi never had a high tolerance for alcohol, and a glass of white wine had already made her head spin.

She couldn’t refuse the drinks toasted to her by others, and after a few glasses of liquor, her consciousness became somewhat blurry.

Just now, the executive who had Qiao Xi apologize to Shen Dang also wanted to toast to her, but Shen Dang glanced over.

Cool and indifferent.

"President Li."

With those two restrained words, void of any emotion, President Li felt an inexplicable chill rising from his feet.

"..."

About to kneel.

Su Tutu worriedly asked, "Has Xixi drunk too much?"

"Can she still walk?" Shen Dang leaned in a bit closer to Qiao Xi, the faint scent becoming clearer.

He didn’t know what perfume she was wearing, it was faint yet indescribably pleasant.

Shen Dang’s fingers on his knee moved slightly.

Qiao Xi also smelled a faint scent of agarwood, she lifted her eyes, and the Shen Dang in front of her began to wobble and doubled.

"Shen Dang," she murmured softly, each word silky smooth, seductively tempting without intent, "don’t move."

Her vision was blurred.

The closest Shen Dang overheard that soft, mellow voice, as if scratching softly at the bottom of his heart.

Is that all?

Just this much and she’s drunk?

She can’t handle her drink yet dared to have so much.

Shen Dang grabbed Qiao Xi’s arm and pulled her up.

"Shen..."

"Wife," Sheng Chao held down Su Tutu’s hand and whispered in her ear, "Isn’t this the opportunity you wanted to create for them? Now’s not the time to interfere."

He wanted to see the drama unfold.

Su Tutu expressed her worries, "What if Boss Shen becomes violent with a drink in him?"

What can be done?

Sheng Chao tapped on her nose tip, "They are husband and wife."

Su Tutu’s mind suddenly cleared.

Right.

What was she worrying about?

Wang Li’s efforts tonight were not in vain; she really managed to land a resource for Qiao Xi.

She was ready to share the good news with Qiao Xi. She looked around the room but did not see her.

Where was her darling?

Wang Li found Su Tutu, "Tutu, where’s Xixi?"

"Xixi left with her husband."

Wang Li was surprised, "Xixi’s husband was here tonight?"

With so many people tonight, who exactly was her husband?

Damn it, as her agent, she didn’t even know his name.

"Of course."

"Who is Xixi’s husband?" Wang Li inquired.

"Sister Li, that I cannot say."

It would scare you to death.

But that’s something Xixi will have to reveal herself.

"Alright then."

Assured that Qiao Xi was safe, Wang Li didn’t pry further.

Underground parking lot.

Shen Dang had just crammed a certain drunkard into the car.

His dark eyes lowered, he coldly watched the woman clinging to him, his annoyance heavily suppressed in his gaze.

"Shen Dang! I deeply regret marrying you!"

"Why... why should my marriage be sacrificed?"

"After the divorce, I would be considered as someone who’s been married twice, why? It’s so unfair! Unfair!"

With every word, she pounded on Shen Dang’s body.

With each blow, Shen Dang’s temples throbbed.

Great, her true nature finally came out after getting drunk.

What fairy?

Crazy woman is more like it!

"Sit down properly!" Shen Dang grabbed her shoulders, pushed her back into the seat, his voice stern, "If you move again, I’ll throw you out of the car!"

Qiao Xi’s lashes drooped, appearing to be frightened into silence for a few seconds.

Taking advantage of this, Shen Dang buckled her seatbelt. Unexpectedly, the drunk opened her eyes, "What are you yelling for?!"

Her voice was even louder than Shen Dang’s.

Shen Dang: "..."

About to burst his eardrums.

Shen Dang let out a cold chuckle from his throat, "Shut up!"

Heh, was this still the Goddess Qiao he knew?
