Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Completely Unrelated to Cohabitation
That way we can catch them off guard.
"Exactly!" Ran Jing wholeheartedly agreed, "We also need to give the two kids some space."
"Uh-huh, you’re right."
Shen Hongxuan: "..."
It was still the silently observing President Shen who couldn’t understand what they were doing.
Old Master Shen gave him a sidelong glance and suddenly looked annoyed, "Look at how much your wife and I worry about your son and daughter-in-law’s affairs. Then look at yourself, no ideas at all, absolutely useless!"
Shen Hongxuan nodded, "Yes, my fault."
Harmony brings prosperity.
You’re the elder, whatever you say is right.
...
At Tan Garden, Qiao Xi was completely baffled by Shen Dang’s behavior throughout.
She watched as Shen Dang casually put away his phone and then looked at her with a faint gaze, explaining, "Grandpa just happened to video call, I didn’t expect to run into you here. Have you finished dining with your friend?"
Qiao Xi slowly nodded, "Ah, yes."
It seemed that Shen Dang hadn’t seen Chen Jiayan.
She looked around; Chen Jiayan wasn’t here now, so she felt relieved.
If Shen Dang had seen him, with his intense and suspicious nature, he might have noticed something.
Their plan with Chen Jiayan couldn’t be exposed.
Qiao Xi wouldn’t allow that to happen.
She slightly lifted her phoenix-like eyes, her gaze tinged with a trace of doubt, "Why are you here again?"
"Tang Honghe and a few other bosses are dining here," Shen Dang asked lazily, "Are you coming up with me?"
"No need."
With a casual glance at her, Shen Dang said, "Alright, by the way, where’s your dining friend?"
Chen Jiayan was probably still waiting outside; Qiao Xi worried that Shen Dang would follow her out, so she quickly changed her words, "He left first. Since I ran into someone I know, I’ll come up and see, and we can head home together later."
A faint smile played on Shen Dang’s thin lips, quickly disappearing; he lazily said, "Then let’s go."
As the door to Tang Honghe’s private room opened, everyone looked out.
Tang Honghe really didn’t expect Qiao Xi to come with Shen Dang; he covertly gave Shen Dang a thumbs up.
Truly Brother Dang.
This time the foundation was preserved.
"Please, have a seat, sister-in-law," Tang Honghe was overly enthusiastic, without a trace of the guilt one would feel from speaking against her.
Qiao Xi nodded towards him, "Go ahead with your talk, don’t mind me."
Shen Dang hadn’t eaten yet, while others were discussing business, and he rarely spoke, focusing solely on his meal.
It seemed he came just to eat.
Under the table, Qiao Xi texted Chen Jiayan on her phone: "I ran into Shen Dang. You go back first, don’t let yourself be discovered."
Chen Jiayan, waiting outside Tan Garden, ultimately sighed.
Shen Dang finished his dinner by himself and then took a napkin to dab at his lips, his movements graceful.
He looked at the people at the table and spoke indifferently, "I’m done eating; you guys take your time chatting, I’ll take my wife and leave first."
Tang Honghe: "???"
Indeed Brother Dang’s flamboyant operation.
The bosses: "???"
So he just came here to eat?
Though that was what they thought, no one dared to show it.
With a big grin, Tang Honghe said, "Then Brother Dang and sister-in-law better head back quickly. Sister-in-law, how did you find the taste of our dishes?"
Qiao Xi nodded, "Hmm, quite good."
The flavors suited her, and she quite liked it.
Tan Garden was indeed pricey, but it had its reasons.
Tan Garden had gained fame over the last two years gradually gaining a name in the circle.
Tang Honghe glanced at Shen Dang, "Then, let Brother Dang bring you here more often, madam can eat whatever she likes."
Qiao Xi: "..."
So Tan Garden was actually Shen Dang’s?
Sorry, she took back what she said just a while ago; Boss Shen may be rich, but he had not been classy at all!
"Let’s go." Seeing that Qiao Xi hadn’t moved, Shen Dang patted her head.
This gesture, seen by others, seemed incredibly indulgent.
However, Qiao Xi didn’t feel that way; she secretly glared at Shen Dang before getting up and leaving the room with him.
With no one around, Qiao Xi bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Don’t randomly pat my head."
This man was always too handsy.
Every part of him was.
Shen Dang looked at her and clicked his tongue, his eyes somewhat teasing, "Is Teacher Qiao’s head made of gold?"
Wasn’t he allowed even to pat it?
And he had even kissed her.
Tired of arguing, Qiao Xi walked out of Tan Garden.
Tan Garden was in an alley where cars could drive in, but few did; Shen Dang also parked his car outside.
With one hand in his pocket, looking distinguished and casual, he asked, "You coming with me or should I drive the car over?"
Qiao Xi glanced towards the alley entrance, "Let’s walk."
She didn’t want to wait around like an idiot.
Walking down the flower-covered path, Qiao Xi beside Shen Dang, her high heels clicking crisply.
Their silhouettes stretched by the light spilling from outside the alley, shadows overlapping then parting.
Reaching the car, Shen Dang opened the door for her.
Qiao Xi looked at him, "Thanks," and bent to get into the car.
Shen Dang watched her with a half-smile, closed the door, and walked around to get into the driver’s seat.
He seemed somewhat amused, "Teacher Qiao, you thanked me twice today."
It was as if saying thanks could distance her from him.
Qiao Xi slightly raised her eyes, "Is there a problem?"
"No problem." His fingers idly tapped on the steering wheel, his eyes slightly piercing as if seeing through her, "There wouldn’t have been any, if it were before, but saying it after we’ve lived together for a few days, there might be."
"What cohabitation, don’t talk nonsense!" Qiao Xi suddenly felt her ears heat up; such a statement could easily lead to misunderstandings!
"We’re sleeping separately; it has nothing to do with cohabitation!"
Qiao Xi was irritable.
Shen Dang drawled, "I didn’t say we were sleeping together."
Qiao Xi sat stiffly against the seatback, sneering at him, "Ha! Then straighten your tongue and clarify your words."
Shen Dang appeared laid-back yet in control, "Maybe Teacher Qiao is just digging too deep into my words?"
"Just don’t talk anymore!"
Qiao Xi choked on her words.
This annoying man always acted and spoke irresponsibly; she couldn’t expect any sensible words from him.
"Thanks not mentioned?"
Boss Shen wanted to hear thanks, right? Well, could she not fulfill such a request?
Qiao Xi stated solemnly, "Boss Shen, thank you, for with you, the seasons feel warm."
Shen Dang: "..."
She had nailed the sarcastic tone perfectly.
Qiao Xi tilted her head, "Satisfied?"
He tugged at the corner of his lips, a forced smile, "Teacher Qiao put it nicely, but don’t say it again."
Qiao Xi turned her head away, "Are you driving or not?"
"Starting now."
The drive home passed without any conversation, until they arrived home and entered one after another.
When Shen Dang reached the living room, Qiao Xi had already gone upstairs.
Shen Dang took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, grabbed a wine glass, and snapped a photo to send to Qiao Xi.
"Teacher Qiao, do you drink wine?"
