Chapter 88: No Sparks When With Boss Shen?
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: No Sparks When With Boss Shen?
Qiao Xi looked down with a soft chuckle, "It’s up to Sister Li, I guess."
Su Tutu pouted unhappily and hummed, "In the end, Sister Li will still listen to you."
Leaning against the swing, Qiao Xi tilted her head back slightly, the light casting a dreamy glow on her face that was ethereal and beautiful.
"It’s still a few months away," Qiao Xi said lightly, "should be around the time when ’Detective in the Republic’ wraps up."
"It would be nice if we were in the same company."
"At the same company, we would be sharing resources."
Su Tutu lifted her chin proudly and laughed, "Afraid you’ll snatch away my resources? Even if you could, I’d sincerely wish you well, it’s all about individual capability."
"And there are plenty of resources anyway. You just sign with Shengshi, they wouldn’t be as foolish as Le Entertainment!"
President Sheng had this intention too, not just because he was friends with Qiao Xi, but signing someone of her caliber was no loss, right?
Qiao Xi patted her head, "Don’t worry about that for now."
"Alright," Su Tutu narrowed her eyes, surveying her, "but honestly, what’s going on between you and Boss Shen? You’ve been saying you’re not available these past few days when I wanted to see you."
"I’ve been at the hospital taking care of Grandpa. He just got discharged today, and Shen Dang took me out for a meal."
"Tsk tsk, you should take this opportunity to snag Boss Shen!"
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Su Tutu stroked her chin pensively, "Think about it, would Boss Shen have taken you out to eat before?"
Before Qiao Xi could reply, Su Tutu patted her thigh and said, "Definitely not, right?"
"Uh huh."
Before, they weren’t even familiar. It would have been strange if Shen Dang had taken her out for a meal.
Of course, they couldn’t exactly say they were familiar now, just a man and a woman who were trying to play the role of a married couple in front of the elders.
"That’s what I thought." Su Tutu clapped her hands excitedly as if she had stumbled upon a clue, "Boss Shen must be interested in you now!"
Qiao Xi was close to being amused by her, where on earth was she getting her conclusions from?
"Don’t talk nonsense, he just didn’t want to cook, that’s why he brought me here to eat," Qiao Xi explained helplessly.
But she regretted saying it as soon as the words left her mouth.
Why did she blurt that out so quickly?
She turned her head and, sure enough, saw Su Tutu’s eyes fixed on her intently, "What? Are you two living together now?"
Heavens!
What kind of progress was this?
Qiao Xi quickly covered her mouth, "Keep your voice down! It’s not what you think!"
Su Tutu’s pupils shook with excitement, her voice lowered but her eyes still sparkling, "But you are living together!"
Qiao Xi’s expression grew serious, "Grandpa was hospitalized recently, he video calls us every day, we had to live together, but we sleep separately, it really isn’t what you imagine."
"Boss Shen is pretty clever," Su Tutu remarked.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said nothing, she could guess what Grandpa was thinking.
But her marriage to Shen Dang was fake to begin with.
"Do you really have no sparks flying between you and Boss Shen living under the same roof?" Su Tutu eyed her skeptically.
"Yeah, there are," Qiao Xi replied.
Su Tutu’s eyes lit up.
Qiao Xi added nonchalantly, "The kind of sparks that come from getting angry."
Outsiders were truly deceived by Boss Shen’s facade, not knowing how much of a jerk he was in private!
The light in Su Tutu’s eyes faded, but she still had a hooked expression, "That’s still a spark."
Who cares what kind of spark it was.
If there weren’t any sparks at all, what was there to look forward to?
Qiao Xi looked at her for several seconds, "...shut up!"
Wasn’t she embarrassed enough in front of Shen Dang just now?
Su Tutu made a zipping motion across her lips, ah, shutting up.
Qiao Xi gracefully stood up, "Let’s go back."
Su Tutu nodded.
Continuing to keep her mouth shut.
They left the little garden.
Unaware, a figure darted quickly past the entrance to the garden.
The carpet in the corridor was so thick that footsteps were almost soundless.
A group of people was coming upstairs behind them.
Someone in the group recognized Qiao Xi, "Nannan, isn’t that your sister?"
Qiao Nan focused on the figure not far away, indeed it was Qiao Xi.
Father probably doesn’t know Qiao Xi is back yet, does he?
Well, she’s back and she doesn’t even tell dad? Does she even consider herself a daughter of the Qiao Family anymore?
Qiao Xi really knows how to act!
Qiao Xi and Su Tutu arm in arm walked into the private room.
"What took you so long, what did you talk about?" Sheng Chao reached out to grab Su Tutu, leaning towards her.
Su Tutu looked up, gave Sheng Chao a kiss on the lips, and said with a smile, "Just some girls’ talk, of course."
"Is it time to serve the dishes?"
Qiao Xi took her seat next to Shen Dang.
A mysterious fragrance wafted from her, filling his nostrils with a pleasantly sweet scent.
Inadvertently stirring something in his heart.
Why did she smell so good?
Qiao Xi glanced sideways, "Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple bobbed, "Do you want to order some more dishes?"
"Whatever you choose is fine."
Shen Dang used the tablet to order the dishes.
Before long, dishes were served one after another.
The food on the plates was indeed very well-crafted and unique, appetizing just by looking at it.
After the waiter delivered the last dish and left, Tang Honghe and Qu Jiashu happened to be passing by.
"Hey, is Brother Dang here?"
The waiter, perceptive as ever, knew they were friends with the person inside.
And this private room was reserved for Shen Dang.
"Yes, President Sheng and Mrs. Sheng are also there."
"Alright, you may go."
Tang Honghe clicked his tongue, "I asked Brother Dang to have dinner with us, but it turns out he and Brother Chao came on their own."
Cui Wenbai said, "Guess there are others."
"Shall we go in?"
"Let’s go," Qu Jiashu lifted his chin, "Knock on the door."
Tang Honghe knocked and pushed the door open.
"Brother Dang, Brother Chao, and the two sisters-in-law," Tang Honghe exclaimed, "so you’re all here."
Shen Dang gave him a cold glance.
"You don’t mind us joining, do you?"
The three sat down, and the waiter quickly brought extra sets of utensils.
Shen Dang lazily eyed them, "What are you doing here?"
"Just discussing some business, didn’t expect to see people in this room. Brother Dang, not cool, not calling your little brother."
"President Sheng is treating," Shen Dang’s dark eyes flicked towards the man across from him.
President Sheng spoke leisurely, "Weren’t you the one who called me about the meal? Why should I treat?"
Shen Dang praised, "President Sheng is generous."
President Sheng laughed.
"Xixi, when did you get back?" Qu Jiashu turned to Qiao Xi.
She was eating quietly.
Upon hearing the question, she curved her lips slightly, "Not too many days ago."
Qu Jiashu smiled, "Alright, since you and your husband happen to be here, this meal is on me."
The thing Qu Keke did last time, even as her brother, he couldn’t stand it. It was good that Shen Dang didn’t make a fuss.
Shen Dang curved his lips lightly and looked up at Sheng Chao, "Looks like the host of the meal has arrived."
Sheng Chao joked, "I might as well save to death."
"Saving expenses, after all, there’s a GK now, and I’ll be relying on President Sheng even more, right?"
His manner was dismissive, yet he spoke as if every word were justified.
Sheng Chao chuckled softly and asked Qiao Xi, "Xixi, after your contract with Le Entertainment ends, will you sign with my company?"
