My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 64 Are you being unreasonable with me right now?

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Are you being unreasonable with me right now?

"Everyone knows these rumors can’t be trusted, especially reports from such unscrupulous media."

President Sheng had immense clout in the entertainment circle; even paparazzi braving his wrath just to break such scandals speaks volumes of the uncertainty of their authenticity.

Well, in the entertainment world, what’s true and what’s false just blends together like this.

Su Tutu curled her lips into a playful, chilly, dazzling smile, "Believe it or not, there’s a chance they’re telling the truth."

Just wait till she wrapped up and returned to Hai City—she would slowly settle the score with that dog of a man, Sheng Chao!

"..."

Yes, yes, you’re the Mrs. President, you’re always right.

Su Tutu took out her phone, logged onto Weibo, and indeed, there were rumors about Sheng Chao and Nie Qing.

Great, this damn man even dared to be involved in rumors with another woman!

They say a man changes after marriage; now she had truly witnessed it!

Su Tutu slammed her phone down with a "snap", poured herself a drink, and lifted her glass with a brimming smile, "Director, a toast to you."

Su Tutu drank the wine in her glass with great gusto, even turning the cup upside down and giving it a shake afterwards, her smile provoking.

Director: "..."

You act high and mighty, and when you’re in a bad mood, I’m the one who has to drink.

Director Ye could only chuckle and clink glasses with her, "This drink is to celebrate for you, Tutu."

"Fair enough."

Qiao Xi watched her down several drinks and furrowed her brows with deep concern, "Tutu, you’ve had a lot already, no more drinking."

Su Tutu’s smile was tinged with a hook at her lip, "I’ll be finishing the shoot tomorrow, I’m just happy. What’s the harm in a few extra drinks?"

"..."

Drinking too much meant she’d get herself wasted, and in the end, Qiao Xi and Bei Bei had to take care of her.

After finally managing to get her into bed, Su Tutu’s phone in her bag started to ring.

Qiao Xi’s eyebrows knit together as she answered the call.

"Sweetheart."

Qiao Xi’s voice carried a chill as cold as snow, "This is Qiao Xi."

Sheng Chao’s voice deepened slightly, "Xixi, where’s Tutu? She doesn’t want to take my calls?"

Qiao Xi glanced down at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, "It’s not that she doesn’t want to take your call; she drank too much at the dinner, she’s just fallen asleep."

"She’s alright?"

"Sheng Chao, as a friend, I shouldn’t say much, but since you both are my friends, I have to tell you. Tutu has seen the rumors online; though she hasn’t said anything, she’s quite affected. You better explain things to her properly."

The two of them had always been stable in their relationship, with Sheng Chao calling Su Tutu almost every day, and she always saw Su Tutu’s happy smile.

That was the smile of someone bathed in love.

She didn’t believe the rumors on the internet, but even the slightest rift could cause distress in a marriage.

She knew that Nie Qing was from Shengshi Entertainment.

"I understand, take good care of her for me."

"Mhm."

Qiao Xi lifted her gaze, "Bei Bei, you go back to rest first; I’ll stay with Tutu tonight."

"No, let me take care of Sister Tutu. You have to shoot tomorrow; you can’t afford to be late."

Qiao Xi patted her on the shoulder, smiling, "It’s fine; go to my room and bring the clothes I need to wear tomorrow."

"Alright."

Qiao Xi took a bath, climbed into bed, and lay down beside Su Tutu.

Drunk Tutu wasn’t rowdy but murmured a few words, quite peacefully at that.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but think back to what she had done when she was drunk that night.

Shen Dang, that dog of a man!

Qiao Xi lay awake, unable to sleep at the thought of him, watched the clock approach midnight, and slipped on a jacket to call Shen Dang from the balcony.

Leaning against the railing, the cool breeze tousled her hair.

She wore a light grey knit cardigan over her clothes, her hair cascading down her back, an image of mildness yet dignity.

The strands of hair lifted by the wind were inexplicably beautiful.

The phone rang for a while before Shen Dang’s impatient voice came through, "What do you want?"

Qiao Xi felt a peculiar sense of exhilaration.

Qiao Xi’s voice mixed with the cool breeze, faint, "What can I want? Of course, I have something to ask you."

Sounds of rustling came through; Shen Dang seemed to sit up in bed, "What’s so important that you have to call me in the middle of the night?"

Qiao Xi, as if realizing something, "Oh, sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to the time."

Sorry?

An actor himself, she could tell how insincere she sounded.

Shen Dang let out a scoff, his voice cool, "Alright, spit it out."

Qiao Xi hadn’t expected Miss Qiao to harbor such a vengeful heart.

Somehow, her initial irritation had faded away.

His voice tainted with a subtle indulgence, though imperceptible to anyone, "What’s this about Sheng Chao’s scandal?"

That’s it?

She woke him up in the dead of night for another man’s issue?

Shen Dang sneered, now clearly annoyed, "How should I know? Am I supposed to manage your friend’s husband for you?"

What’s with his sudden sarcasm?

"You’re not trying to cover up for him, are you?"

After all, those two really get along.

Shen Dang let out a lazy laugh, "Qiao Xi, are you picking a fight with me?"

She would accuse him of anything.

What kind of thing is that to say?

Qiao Xi retorted, "Not at all."

"Not at all?" Shen Dang’s voice rough with faint hoarseness, "You already accused me of covering up for him. Are those words someone should say?"

Qiao Xi forced a thread of laughter, "Fine, I apologize for suspecting an honorable man like Boss Shen with the heart of a petty person."

"It’s as well you should."

How infuriating!

Qiao Xi was ready to hang up.

That’s when Shen Dang’ voice nonchalantly said, "Rest assured, whatever is happening with Ah Chao is just like those rumors that once surrounded me."

"How could the two things compare?"

"Why bother with their affairs?" Shen Dang clicked his tongue, growing impatient, "For their sake, I’m hanging up."

"Oh."

Could it be that he thought she had something else in mind? To reminisce the past? Did they have a past to reminisce?

For months they had maintained contact by phone alone, a tacitly vicious reciprocation, nothing more.

Shen Dang bit his lip slightly, a cold chuckle escaped his throat, "Qiao Xi."

Qiao Xi absently tapped her foot on the ground, languidly responding, "What is it?"

"Anything else?"

"There’s nothing else."

Shen Dang’s breath hitched, a cold laugh followed, "You’ve woken me up."

All for someone else’s problem!

"Oh, sorry."

Qiao Xi’s apology couldn’t be more insincere.

Oh?

Sorry?

If he takes her call this late, he’s nothing but a dog!

Shen Dang hung up the phone with a "snap," his disconnection was cold and merciless.

He felt as if he was going insane!

Qiao Xi covered her mouth with a yawn, stretched lazily, "Suddenly felt sleepy, time to sleep."

The next day.

Dawn broke.

Upon waking up, Su Tutu saw Qiao Xi by her side as if she were dreaming, otherwise why the sight of Fairy Qiao?

"Fairy Qiao, what are you doing lying on my bed?"

Su Tutu wrapped a strand of her hair around her finger and reached out to touch Qiao Xi’s face.

After a whole night, her skin remained porcelain, fair as it gleamed without a hint of oil.

Some people’s mere existence was enough to make others green with envy.

Qiao Xi lazily opened her eyelids, "What time is it now?"
