My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 84: Could Boss Shen Be Planning a Surprise for Me?

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Could Boss Shen Be Planning a Surprise for Me?

Old Master Shen’s expression was cryptic, "Also, if Miss Chu Wan visits again, don’t let her see your mother anymore."

Previously, the old lady’s happiness upon seeing Chu Wan had stopped Old Master Shen from intervening.

But if Chu Wan’s presence caused discord between Xixi and Ah Dang, he would not allow it.

Ran Jing had never liked Chu Wan, and now that Old Master Shen had spoken up, she was secretly thrilled.

She nodded with a smile, "Alright, Dad, I will explain it to Miss Chu. I’m going upstairs to see Mom."

Old Madam had become senile again.

Her condition was intermittent, sometimes clear, sometimes not.

And the family couldn’t predict when her mental state would fluctuate.

Chu Wan had wanted to use Old Madam’s presence to curry favor with Shen Dang, but who knew the old lady would be so unreliable!

Chu Wan was furious.

Ran Jing entered the room, a mocking chill flashing in her eyes, "How is the Old Madam?"

A servant nearby shook their head.

Ran Jing maintained a subtle smile, "Miss Chu, I have a few words to say to you, would you step out for a moment?"

Chu Wan followed Ran Jing out of the room, and they stood in the hallway on the second floor, "Aunt, what do you want to tell me?"

Her demeanor was gentle and polite, but her intentions were inevitably questionable.

"Miss Chu, our family appreciates your company with Old Madam these past days. It was thanks to you that Old Madam had someone to talk with when she was lucid. However, as you’ve seen, her condition isn’t good, and to avoid any harm to you, it’s best if you don’t come over next time. Our servants will take good care of Old Madam."

The words were spoken delicately, but Chu Wan understood their implication.

Why shouldn’t she come anymore?

And Ran Jing dared to compare her to a servant?

Whom was she looking down upon?!

After all, she was a daughter of the Chu Family!

Chu Wan raised her face, smiling as though unfazed, "Aunt, Grandma won’t hurt anyone. She’s used to my company, and besides, it’s only natural for a junior to respect her elders."

Only by coming here would she have a chance to see Shen Dang.

She firmly believed he would divorce Qiao Xi, and that would be her opportunity.

And this old lady wasn’t so hard to take care of, it was just the unforeseen illness that wasn’t anticipated.

For Shen Dang, what were these challenges?

Ran Jing almost laughed. How could the daughter of the prominent Chu Family from Hai City do something so unbefitting her station?

"Miss Chu, maybe I wasn’t clear enough, you misunderstood me. We hope you won’t come again, and if anyone should respect the elderly, it certainly isn’t your place as an outsider."

What did Chu Wan think she was?

Ridiculous!

"Aunt." Chu Wan’s brows furrowed gently, her voice warm, "Do you have a prejudice against me?"

"You’re right!"

Ran Jing didn’t hold back anymore.

Her status didn’t necessitate being falsely polite with youngsters, previously she just hadn’t wanted to make a scene.

Chu Wan’s face stiffened; she hadn’t expected Ran Jing to become so aggressive.

Ran Jing stared at her firmly, "Xixi is my daughter-in-law. Your visits could lead to misunderstandings, Miss Chu, do you understand?"

Even if she had any intentions, she should keep them to herself. Her son and daughter-in-law were very happy together, and no one was going to ruin that!

Chu Wan tried to explain, "Aunt, you’ve really misunderstood me, I..."

Ran Jing cut her off, "I can see for myself."

Chu Wan, maintaining her polite composure, said, "Since Aunt feels this way, I’ll avoid coming next time."

Chu Wan turned away, her gentle smile instantly turning icy cold.

She already had the old lady’s support; she didn’t believe that the old lady wouldn’t call her when lucid.

Watching Chu Wan’s retreating figure, Ran Jing still felt uneasy.

In the car, the driver drove up front while Shen Dang and Qiao Xi sat behind, each playing with their phones.

There was still room for one more person between them.

Qiao Xi looked up at the man beside her, "I’m making a trip to Le Entertainment, I’ll return to Yingyue Bay afterward."

Shen Dang looked up from his phone, "What are you doing at Le Entertainment?"

"I have things to do."

"I’ve made a reservation outside."

Qiao Xi paused, then smiled, "Is Boss Shen actually setting up a surprise for me?"

Shen Dang huffed, turning his head in profile, his throat working, "What do you think?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips in silence.

"I just didn’t want to cook, so I made the reservation. Why, did you want me to cook?"

Qiao Xi snorted coldly, "What I want doesn’t matter, does it? Isn’t this what we agreed on? Or is cooking every day too much of a burden for Boss Shen?"

"No burden." Shen Dang flicked her forehead gently, "Just wanted to change the eating environment, is that so wrong?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What are you doing?"

After speaking, Qiao Xi raised her hand and smacked Shen Dang’s arm hard.

Why should he flick her forehead?

Was a female celebrity’s forehead something to be flicked casually?

Shen Dang: "???"

"I don’t particularly want to change the dining environment with you! And another thing—" Qiao Xi warned coldly, "Don’t flick my forehead again!"

What was this demon of a man thinking with such a familiar gesture?

Was it fun?

With his arms crossed, Shen Dang looked at her lazily, his tone very laid-back, "Didn’t you hit me back as well?"

That smack had stunned Shen Dang.

Just a kid, hitting his arm.

It wasn’t painful, just like scratching an itch through a boot, but it still inexplicably affected Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi’s voice was crystal clear and cold, her expression serious, now clearly upset by Shen Dang, "Weren’t you the one causing trouble?"

"I was causing trouble?" Shen Dang genuinely laughed.

Laughed because he found it amusing.

His shoulders trembled lightly with his laughter.

The sounds of his laughter were delightful, intertwining like vines wrapping around branches, easily entwining Qiao Xi’s heart.

Just like the butterfly effect, Qiao Xi distinctly felt her heart flutter uncontrollably.

It was nothing else, just his voice touching her heart, unfolding chaos.

But seeing the mockery at the corner of his mouth, any faint flutter in Qiao Xi’s heart was overwhelmed by anger.

"What are you laughing at? I’m being serious."

The laughter paused, "Yes, I heard."

He was clearly provoking her!

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, "Take me to the company!"

The partition between the front and back of the car rose, and Shen Dang tapped to signal the driver, "Take madam to Le Entertainment."

"Alright, President Shen."

Qiao Xi glanced at Shen Dang.

The car stopped outside the Le Entertainment Building.

"I’ll wait here."

Qiao Xi paused as she was stepping out of the car, turning back with a cold gaze, "Oh, then wait."

"Right, don’t wander off after you’re done."

"What if I don’t know when I’ll be done?"
