Chapter 82: Thanks to Fairy Qiao’s Recognition
Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Thanks to Fairy Qiao’s Recognition
Qiao Zhenbin had taken advantage of her marriage, she could blame Qiao Zhenbin.
But why did she feel unable to afford the kindness of the Shen family elders?
Suddenly, Shen Dang thought of what Old Master Shen had said to him in the hospital.
"Xixi’s mother died in a car accident while on her way to catch a cheater, and where there’s a stepmother, there’s a stepfather. She’s grown up in such an environment for many years. Chances are she already knows about Qiao Zhenbin’s affair."
It was then that Shen Dang understood why Qiao Xi remained silent about the Qiao family matters.
So that’s why she hated Qiao Zhenbin.
And rightly so.
Yet she had detached her emotions too clearly.
Was Qiao Zhenbin’s ilk even comparable to their Shen family?
Qiao Xi raised her eyes, her pupils shrouded in a faint confusion. Wouldn’t that give her away?
Shen Dang met her gaze, his lips curving into a cold, careless arc. He scoffed casually, "Or do you have other demands? It’s best to address them all at once. It’ll be troublesome to change things later."
His deep black eyes hooked with a profound mysteriousness, eluding comprehension.
"I don’t have any requirements."
"Then sign."
Shen Dang tossed the pen onto the paper.
Qiao Xi picked it up and signed her name next to Shen Dang’s.
Their names together strangely complemented each other.
"Done." Qiao Xi’s gaze flickered; as she looked up, a glint of light passed through her eyes, adding a sparkle to her beauty.
Her eyes seemed to carry a moist luster, bewitchingly captivating, like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating a ripple in his heart.
Shen Dang’s eyes softened slightly, and he tilted his chin, "Take one copy for yourself; keep it safe."
Qiao Xi’s lips formed a faint smile: "Oh, then I’ll head back to my room."
Shen Dang squinted his dark eyes: "Rest early."
Smile? Was she pleased to sign the divorce agreement?
As Qiao Xi reached the staircase, she stopped again: "Boss Shen."
"Speak."
"We are half-divorced now, aren’t we?"
Shen Dang’s brows lifted slightly, looking at the woman standing in the corridor.
At home, she wore only a light yellow undershirt, thin enough to reveal her fair skin beneath. The sleeves were long, almost covering the backs of her hands.
One hand rested on the railing, her fingertips dainty, her eyes ethereal. Even the simple act of standing appeared as a beautiful scene from an ancient painting.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.
Yet even her outer shell was so attractive.
Hmm, just a flawed personality.
Boss Shen evaluated in his mind.
Shen Dang propped his cheek, meeting Qiao Xi’s cold phoenix eyes: "Discussing divorce?"
We haven’t officially divorced yet.
Qiao Xi clarified: "Half of half."
Shen Dang revealed a hint of a smile: "Counts."
If she said it counted, then it did.
As long as she’s happy.
What the Fairy says is correct, isn’t it?
Qiao Xi nodded: "Mm."
Qiao Xi took the divorce agreement back to her room, placed it in her suitcase, planning to take it with her when she left.
It was still early, so Qiao Xi, looking out at the pitch-black night, dialed Wang Li’s number.
"What’s wrong, sweetheart?"
"Sister Li, do I have any events in a few days?"
"Didn’t you say not to arrange any?"
Qiao Xi held her forehead: "I said in a few days."
Once the grandfather was discharged, she wouldn’t need to visit the hospital, and she could avoid the grandfather’s watchful eye under the pretext of work.
At least until he let his guard down, she could leave this place.
No, not leave; Yingyue Bay was now her property.
It was Shen Dang who should leave!
"There’s a magazine cover shoot and an offline brand event, do you want to join?"
"I can do the magazine cover."
"It’s in a week."
That should be about right.
"Okay."
Wang Li reminded her: "Remember to come to the company when you’re done."
"Got it."
Qiao Xi was a bit picky with sleeping environments, and having slept the afternoon away, she didn’t fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
In the unfamiliar environment, she awoke naturally, it was only a bit past eight, quite early still.
Qiao Xi lay in bed a while longer before getting up. Going downstairs, she didn’t expect to see Shen Dang.
"Boss Shen, aren’t you going to the company today?"
How could such a big boss be so idle?
"Come have breakfast." He gestured with his chopsticks, an air of refinement about him.
Shen Dang had already prepared breakfast, a bowl of noodles for each.
"Noodles, huh..."
"Don’t you like eating noodles?"
The noodles were topped with a golden fried egg. Qiao Xi looked perplexed: "Why would you think I like noodles?"
"Didn’t you cook noodles for yourself several times?"
He thought she liked them.
The fridge had noodles, so he cooked them.
Qiao Xi: "..."
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
"That’s because I think cooking noodles is the simplest, and I can’t really cook anything else."
Shen Dang: "..."
That "really" was quite coyly put.
Indeed a Fairy, untouched by the mundane world.
Shen Dang glanced at her: "Will you eat these noodles, then?"
Qiao Xi had yet to respond when Shen Dang sneered: "If you don’t eat, there’s nothing else. Or you might prefer to cook for yourself."
Spoil her? Not a chance.
Qiao Xi sat down: "Why wouldn’t I eat?"
Plus, there was such a beautiful fried egg.
Qiao Xi slurped the noodles and couldn’t help but muse: Life is indeed full of ups and downs.
They were both noodles, but why could he cook them so deliciously?
"Boss Shen."
Qiao Xi lifted her face, the steam from the noodles veiling her visage, making her appear even more ethereal.
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Qiao Xi was sincere: "Even if you weren’t running a company, you’d make a successful chef."
Shen Dang laughed: "Ha, I’m grateful for Fairy Qiao’s recognition."
Qiao Xi: "..."
After finishing the noodles, Qiao Xi took two sets of utensils to wash.
She came out of the kitchen to see Shen Dang putting on his suit jacket, his gestures exuding a carefree attitude.
His gaze flickered her way: "Do you have plans today? Or are you visiting Grandpa?"
"Nothing much, I’ll go to Grandpa’s."
"I’ll take you there."
"Don’t you have work?"
Shen Dang scrutinized her for a moment: "I’ll drop you off at the hospital, then head to the company."
"Oh." Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay."
Shen Dang’s absence would be a relief; playing along with him was exhausting, and she constantly had to remember not to give anything away.
"Let’s go."
The two left the house together.
Shen Dang still accompanied Qiao Xi to the hospital room to see Old Master Shen before leaving.
That evening, in the marital home, Old Master Shen called as usual for a video chat.
Until a few days later when the grandfather was discharged.
Qiao Xi followed Shen Dang back to the Shen Family Mansion.
The car stopped in front of the villa, where Qiao Xi unexpectedly saw a somewhat familiar figure.
Shen Dang had also noticed the person outside, his lowered black eyes brimming with an unfathomable coldness.
"Do you know why Chu Wan would come here?"
The car engine turned off, Shen Dang’s hand resting on the steering wheel, chin propped up, his carelessness unconcealed.
His gaze shifted from Qiao Xi to the person standing on the steps, his face a mix of splendor and indifference.
At that moment, Chu Wan was affectionately clinging to Old Madam Shen’s arm.
Qiao Xi’s brows furrowed slightly: "Do you know?"
