My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 75 Ah, Women

Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Ah, Women

"What’s she doing?"

"No response."

Qiao Xi looked down at her phone, pretending not to hear.

He hadn’t even bothered to help her with her luggage because he was busy using his phone.

Fine.

Shen Dang suddenly smiled.

Women can’t stay angry for long, just like Madam Shen, who eventually needed President Shen to coax her before she calmed down.

But as for comforting Qiao Xi, he wasn’t gonna do it. She’s not his wife. What’s there to coax?

Hah, women.

Hah, men.

Qiao Xi also inwardly sneered.

The two actually shared a tacit understanding.

Shen Dang drove towards the airport, and on the way, they didn’t exchange a single word, as if they had returned to the time a few months ago when they first met.

It was as though there was a line dividing them.

Qiao Xi’s mood inexplicably soured, and she spoke even less.

Arriving at the airport, Shen Dang indifferently said, "I’m going to get the boarding passes, you go check in the luggage later."

Her cap brim nearly concealed her face. Qiao Xi didn’t even look up, her voice cold and indifferent, "Mhm."

After Qiao Xi checked her luggage, they queued up for security one after the other.

Right after the security check, Ran Jing called Shen Dang to ask if he had returned.

Shen Dang told her the plane’s landing time.

Finally, Ran Jing asked, "Son, you’re with Xixi, right?"

Today’s weather was clear and sunny, the bright light shone through the passageway’s glass windows, and Qiao Xi walked slowly with elegance.

Shen Dang watched Qiao Xi’s slender figure from behind, recalling how light she seemed when she was on top of him not long ago.

The scent of her seemed to linger in his nose.

When you think you’ve forgotten, the memory of that scent feels deeply etched.

Shen Dang looked away, lazily saying, "Yeah, I’m with her. Do you want to speak to her?"

"No need, let’s leave it for now. We can talk when you get back."

Ran Jing hung up the phone.

Shen Dang stepped up beside Qiao Xi, his dark eyes downturned as he looked at her indifferently, "Our marriage certificate is in our marital home. Once we’re in Hai City, we’ll go straight to get it and then head to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Qiao Xi naturally had no objections, she nodded, "Okay."

On the plane, the two also had little interaction.

Shen Dang seemed busy, constantly clutching his phone.

Qiao Xi closed her eyes to feign sleep, actually catching some more rest on the plane.

During the flight, when the flight attendant enthusiastically offered assistance a few times, Shen Dang even told her to keep quiet and not to come over and disturb them.

Past one o’clock or so, Shen Dang and Qiao Xi left the terminal building.

The weather in Hai City was somewhat gloomy, with dark clouds spread across the sky, looking like rain was imminent.

Assistant Gao was waiting for them at the roadside.

"President Shen, Madam Shen, you’re back."

The pair of good-looking man and beautiful woman standing together was even pleasing to his eyes.

It was rare to see them together.

Assistant Gao used to think no one was worthy of his noble boss until he met Qiao Xi and realized how wrong he was.

They looked like a pair of celestial beings.

"Mhm." Shen Dang responded indifferently and got into the car.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to lift her suitcase, Assistant Gao hurried over, "Madam Shen, you go ahead and board, I’ll handle it."

How could he let Madam Shen do such a thing?

Qiao Xi looked up and revealed an elegantly gentle smile, "Thank you, Assistant Gao."

See, his subordinates were more sensible than his own boss.

"As I should," he responded.

Madam Shen was indeed a beauty with a kind nature.

Qiao Xi entered the car from the other side, nearly pressing against the car door. There was enough space for another person between her and Shen Dang.

Once Assistant Gao boarded the car, he noticed the atmosphere between the two was a bit off.

What happened? Weren’t they just fine?

Assistant Gao was curious, but he didn’t dare to ask.

"President Shen, shall we now head back to..."

Shen Dang’s phone rang; it was Ran Jing calling.

With drooping eyes, Shen Dang answered, "Mom."

Ran Jing inquired, "Ah Dang, have you and Xixi arrived in Hai City?"

"Just arrived."

"Then come to the hospital, both of you."

Shen Dang looked out at the gloomy sky, his dark eyes somber, "The hospital? What’s happened?"

Qian Xi lifted her gaze slightly, casting a puzzled look at Shen Dang.

After a few words, Shen Dang hung up the phone, his expression not exactly pleasant, seemingly preoccupied with heavy thoughts.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Dang’s voice was somber, "Grandfather was admitted to the hospital last night."

"What?" Qiao Xi turned pale with shock, "Isn’t grandfather always in good health?"

Old Master Shen was eighty and certainly of advanced age, after all. His bodily functions were declining.

Ran Jing had not dared to mention the sudden emergency to them, fearing they would panic. So she waited until they landed to tell them.

Shen Dang’s black eyes looked at her as he murmured lowly, "Qiao Xi, we might not be able to handle our own matters today."

"I understand." She couldn’t keep insisting on a divorce at a time like this, "Let’s go to the hospital."

Assistant Gao, seeing that Shen Dang was silent, drove towards the hospital.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of the inpatient department.

Shen Dang hurried inside, clearly nervous. Qiao Xi followed closely, her lips pressed in worry.

Qiao Xi glanced sideways at Shen Dang, "Shen Dang, grandfather will be okay."

She still remembered the sprightly manner of Old Master Shen from a few months ago.

And just last night, the grandfather had sent her a big red envelope. How could he be suddenly hospitalized?

Shen Hongxuan and Ran Jing were sitting outside the hospital room on a bench. Seeing the pair arrive, Ran Jing quickly stood up and grasped Qiao Xi’s hand, "Xixi, Ah Dang, you’re back. Grandfather has not awakened yet."

Ran Jing’s hand felt cool to the touch. Qiao Xi rubbed her hands together.

Shen Dang’s voice was somewhat hoarse, "What’s the current situation with grandfather?"

Shen Hongxuan’s voice was muffled as he covered his face, "The doctor said it’ll be fine once he wakes up."

Old Master Shen had suffered an acute episode in the middle of the night, fortunately, the housekeeper was present; otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.

"I’ll go find the doctor." Shen Dang lifted his feet to leave, and as he turned around, Qiao Xi saw how tightly clenched his jaw was.

The bond between Shen Dang and his grandfather was strong. The old man was a good person, and Qiao Xi didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

Qiao Xi comforted Ran Jing, "Mom, grandfather will be alright."

Ran Jing nodded, "Let’s go in and see grandfather."

"Okay."

Inside the hospital room, the lighting was plentiful. The elderly man lay on the hospital bed, his features gaunt, his authoritative demeanor seemingly vanished with the illness.

Old Master Shen had been a person of significant authority in his day, but even so, he could not escape nature’s laws.

Qiao Xi felt deeply helpless.

"Grandfather." Qiao Xi’s voice suddenly choked as she grasped Old Master Shen’s hand, "I’m back, and Shen Dang has come back, too."

Old Master Shen’s fingers twitched slightly.

Qiao Xi’s eyelids twitched violently as she looked up at the old man, "Grandfather?"

Old Master Shen slowly came to consciousness.

"Xixi." His voice was very hoarse, but upon seeing Qiao Xi, he showed a particularly loving smile.

Qiao Xi’s eyes instantly reddened, "Dad, Mom, Grandfather is awake!"

Ran Jing and Shen Hongxuan hurried inside from outside.

"Thank God, he’s finally awake."

"Dad, how are you feeling now?"
