Qiao Xi was just about to refuse when she heard Shen Dang say, "You did agree to let pursue you, you can’t go back on your word."
"I didn’t."
"Then let pick you up."
When Qiao Xi arrived at the film crew, she was still a bit dazed.
Boss Shen, like the bright moon, had taken actual steps to pursue her... and she indeed felt Shen Dang’s sincerity.
This Shen Dang was too different.
Before filming had even started, Qiao Xi, who had just changed into the crew’s clothes, stood there frozen, her thoughts drifting far away.
Su Tutu ca over and tapped her on the shoulder.
"What are you zoning out for?"
"Nothing really."
Qiao Xi ca back to her senses and smiled at her.
"Still say it’s nothing?" Su Tutu pulled up a chair in front of her, rested her hands on her knees, and stared intently at her, "With that spring-in-your-step look, it feels like you’re daydreaming about love."
Qiao Xi slapped her playfully, "What are you talking about?"
"Did Boss Shen say sothing to you?" Su Tutu winked, looking very gossipy.
"I really can’t hide anything from those big eyes of yours." Qiao Xi sighed, "Shen Dang said he wants to pursue ."
Su Tutu clapped her hands, her expression barely containing her excitent, as if she were the one being pursued.
"Well done!"
Qiao Xi gave her a sidelong glance, her expression unfriendly: "Su Tutu, whose side are you on, exactly?"
"It’s not about taking sides, okay? I’m just happy that Boss Shen finally took so real action."
Qiao Xi pondered Su Tutu’s tone. Was she the only one who found this whole thing bizarre?
Her gaze fixed on her face, "You’re not surprised at all that Shen Dang wants to pursue ?"
"Surprised about what? I’m not blind. How could I not see the affection Boss Shen has for you?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
Oh, sorry. Before Boss Shen said he wanted to pursue her, she really hadn’t seen his intentions at all.
Su Tutu, curious, pressed on, "So how did you respond to Boss Shen?"
Qiao Xi nonchalantly replied, "Let him pursue , what else can I say?"
Su Tutu rubbed her head, "Oh my, my dear has finally seen the light."
Qiao Xi lifted her chin, proud and noble: "I’m not that easy to pursue."
"Sure, sure, with so many adoring the Goddess of Divine Beauty, who could possibly succeed? Boss Shen is definitely the first!"
...
The shoot was supposed to wrap up at six o’clock, but it ended up being delayed by half an hour.
Qiao Xi wasn’t sure if Shen Dang was waiting for her, but as soon as she returned to the makeup room, she sent Shen Dang a ssage: "I just finished shooting."
"Dog Man: No rush."
Shen Dang replied promptly.
Qiao Xi paused, responded with an "Oh," and sent it.
Looking at the nickna, she suddenly felt it was inappropriate; "Dog Man" didn’t seem to fit Shen Dang’s current role.
After all, Shen Dang had expressed his intention to pursue her, and leaving that nickna made it seem like it was so dog chasing her.
Qiao Xi quickly changed ’Dog Man’ to ’Pursuer’—okay, this was more befitting of Boss Shen’s status now.
Qiao Xi turned her head to ask Su Tutu, "Tutu, I’m going to dinner with him, want to join?"
"I’d rather not be a third wheel."
"I don’t mind."
"Soone might mind though, you go ahead, don’t worry about ."
Qiao Xi had Bei Bei take the minivan ho, while she got into Shen Dang’s car.
Shen Dang didn’t drive a luxury car, so it didn’t attract anyone else’s attention.
Watching Qiao Xi buckle up, Shen Dang started the car and left the film city.
"Is filming tiring?"
Boss Shen was so openly concerned about her that Qiao Xi hadn’t quite adjusted.
"Not really."
Qiao Xi tried to adapt, and finally added, "I actually enjoy filming."
Taking part in the lives of different characters felt like experiencing soone else’s life, a fascinating feeling.
Her spirit was energized.
Shen Dang said, "As long as you enjoy it."
Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to a French restaurant.
The dishes were served just minutes after they sat down.
Qiao Xi looked up at the man across from her, "Did you arrange this?"
Shen Dang slightly curled his lips, "Yes, I ordered in advance, let’s eat."
Qiao Xi sowhat sighed, "Boss Shen, your approach to pursuing soone is really..."
When he got serious, it indeed was hard to resist.
Who could refuse an attentive and extrely handso man?
Qiao Xi liked the warmth revealed in these small details, easily touching the heart.
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow, "If I’ve moved you, you can just accept my pursuit right away."
Although Qiao Xi felt a bit of warmth and care with him, she couldn’t just agree to him instantly.
She flatly refused, "Impossible!"
They had divorced not even a few months ago, and Qiao Xi hadn’t yet adapted; how could she so quickly accept another type of relationship with him?
Many uncertain factors, even if not discovered right now, could erupt any day.
Qiao Xi sought stability.
And ti would prove everything.
Of course, Shen Dang didn’t harbor any unrealistic expectations of her imdiate agreent.
He grinned lazily, "I know, let’s eat. Have so more."
After dinner, Shen Dang followed Qiao Xi back to the hotel and even stayed in her room.
Watching the man who followed her into the room, Qiao Xi actually felt as if they were living together.
But essentially, there didn’t seem to be much change.
It was just that Shen Dang slowly, subtly perated her life, seemingly altering sothing.
This gradual change didn’t make Qiao Xi feel uncomfortable or even panicked; it all felt very natural.
Qiao Xi had always thought about going with the flow, so when Shen Dang declared he was pursuing her, she just went along with it.
He maintained a gentlemanly deanor and earnestly pursued her, which was undoubtedly comforting.
Shen Dang stayed in Jiang City for about four or five days until work in Hai City necessitated his return.
He was single-handedly managing IDC Capital and an entertainnt company; to say he was not busy was impossible.
But he chose to spend his ti here with Qiao Xi.
On a sunny morning, after taking Qiao Xi to the film crew, Shen Dang headed to the airport to fly back to Hai City.
Boss Shen’s acquisition of the Qiao Group was inevitable, and Qiao Zhenbin couldn’t stop it from happening.
After returning to Hai City, Shen Dang went abroad for a business trip without delay, maintaining contact with Qiao Xi through WeChat.
Even though their filming schedules often didn’t align for chatting, Qiao Xi no longer ignored his ssages as before.
After all, she rembered that Shen Dang was pursuing her.
Since he had shown his stance, she too needed to show hers, rather than pretending to be aloof at this ti.
Qiao Xi believed that relationships between people should have a balance for there to be sustainable developnt space.
Otherwise, no one would willingly give without receiving, would they?
