Yeah, it’s not surprising.
Everyone is only ever keen to gossip about the various relationships between her and Shen Dang.
Qiao Xi had put on a mask and a hat before she left Wang Li’s office.
When she ca out, she encountered several newcors from the company, who shyly expressed their desire to take a photo with Qiao Xi.
Immortal Sister was their idol.
Qiao Xi saw that they were quite polite and adorably green, so she agreed to take a photo with them.
However, a photo wasn’t enough, they also wanted Immortal Sister’s autograph.
Qiao Xi signed for them, too.
Agent Li ca out of another office and, seeing several kids gathered around Qiao Xi, walked over and tapped a few heads: "I could hear you all from inside, don’t delay Boss Qiao’s important business."
The news that Qiao Xi was a shareholder had completely spread throughout the company.
Those who once thought they were peers or predecessors to Qiao Xi now felt unworthy.
Qiao Xi recognized the person in front of her, and with an elegant smile, she said, "It’s no trouble, these kids brought by Agent Li are quite distinctive; you all should keep it up."
"Thank you, Sister."
"I hope I can be as popular as Sister soday."
"My idol is Sister."
Agent Li: "..."
These kids sure knew how to sweet-talk, calling her Sister again and again.
He shouldn’t have called her Boss Qiao just now, since it sounded distant; he should have called her Sister, too.
Qiao Xi smiled lightly and told them, "Hard work always pays off, I have so other matters to attend to, so I need to leave now."
Qiao Xi turned and walked towards the elevator.
Watching Qiao Xi’s elegant and beautiful figure, they found it hard to take their eyes off.
Before, they could only see Immortal Sister on TV; now they were actually eting her in person.
"Stop staring!"
It was only when Agent Li’s voice rang in their ears that they finally looked away.
However, the thrill of eting Qiao Xi in person lingered for a long ti.
"Bro, will we have a chance to work with Immortal Sister in the future?"
Agent Li said irritably, "Boss Qiao is an actor, and you guys are idols, what kind of collaboration are you talking about?"
"Then I’ll beco an actor too!"
"Scoff, we’ll see if you can make it."
Qiao Xi took the elevator down to the underground parking lot.
As she stepped out of the elevator, Shen Dang, who was waiting outside, just happened to turn his head toward her.
The man was dressed in a classic black and white suit, with his necktie loose, exuding a lazy and arrogant vibe.
His long legs, wrapped in the wrinkle-free trousers of the suit, made his presence seem even more imposing.
Qiao Xi was montarily taken aback.
"Here you are."
His glance carried a loose smile.
Their gazes t in mid-air.
Qiao Xi’s step faltered almost imperceptibly, she curved her lips without a sound: "Why are you waiting here?"
Shen Dang looked at her, his lips curled in a relaxed and lazy smile: "Didn’t see you yesterday, wanted to see you first thing today."
Qiao Xi: "..."
She had slowly beco immune to his occasional nonchalant romantic remarks.
Ignorance was bliss.
Qiao Xi awkwardly shifted the topic: "Where’s your car?"
Shen Dang ca over to take her hand: "What would you like to eat?"
Their distance closed abruptly, and his scent enveloped her, causing her heart to race.
Qiao Xi struggled a bit.
Shen Dang held her hand even tighter.
Qiao Xi glanced at him coolly, her gaze fixed on his handso and impeccable face.
His face was good-looking, but she couldn’t see the thickness of his face.
She said: "Let go."
Shen Dang refused: "I won’t."
Qiao Xi was sowhat exasperated: "I haven’t even agreed to your pursuit, this is against the rules!"
"It’s just a word from you whether you agree or not, isn’t it?" Shen Dang said carelessly, pulling her forward.
Qiao Xi purposely said: "What if I don’t agree?"
"Then I’ll hold on all the sa."
Qiao Xi was irritated by him, her laugh cold and clear: "Very good, are you becoming more brazen?"
Shen Dang’s dark eyes looked at her, his tone indifferent: "Then just think of as shalessly thick-faced."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Never seen anyone self-deprecate like this.
She was left speechless.
Shen Dang brought Qiao Xi to the car, and when he opened the door he finally let go of her hand: "Get in."
Qiao Xi snorted at him before bending down to get into the car.
Shen Dang’s lips curved into a slight smile, a muffled chuckle escaped him as he walked around to the driver’s seat.
"What do you want to eat?"
Shen Dang started the car, driving out, and lazily asked again.
"Whatever."
After Qiao Xi answered, she imdiately changed her mind: "Let’s go to Tan Garden."
It was a place where they were absolutely sure not to be photographed.
Dining out could be risky if they were accidentally caught by passersby.
The rumors about Qiao Xi and Boss Shen hadn’t completely died down, and Qiao Xi didn’t want to stir up anything at this juncture.
Shen Dang drove towards Tan Garden.
Qiao Xi suddenly rembered: "What was the matter you said you wanted to talk to about?"
The parking lot was dimly lit, while the bright sun reigned outside. As the car left the parking lot, the interior was filled with light.
Shen Dang glanced at Qiao Xi, his eyes clearly made out her delicate and ethereal face.
It was hard to say that he liked her for her face, but she was indeed the one who had attracted him.
It wasn’t love at first sight; maybe it was affection over ti or sothing that started inadvertently.
Looking at her sitting beside him, Shen Dang’s expression softened, and thinking of Chu Wan, he didn’t feel as irritated anymore: "It’s about Chu Wan, she went to the Shen Family Mansion and told the family about her pregnancy. I was planning to go back, but Madam Shen said she would handle it."
Qiao Xi didn’t know what to say and could only respond with an "Oh."
She knew Chu Wan wouldn’t give up that easily.
Shen Dang rested one hand on the steering wheel and another on the armrest box, with a leisurely posture: "I can confirm the child isn’t mine, but whose it is, I have no idea. However, there’s always a way to prove it."
Nobody wanted to be a scapegoat.
Shen Dang’s voice was cold.
It made the sunlight inside the car seem to dim a little.
Qiao Xi nodded: "Boss Shen is right."
"..." Shen Dang paused, then suddenly smiled: "What does Teacher Qiao think of such a future mother-in-law?"
Qiao Xi looked up at him, her smile ambiguous: "I’m saying... don’t you think you’re looking a bit too far into the future?"
"I just like to think about happy things. Of course, Teacher Qiao has to agree to my pursuit before we can think about marrying."
He was even thinking about marriage already?
Qiao Xi suddenly pressed her lips together, feeling the air in the car grow warm, so she lowered the window.
Subconsciously, she raised her hand to fan her face.
Seeing her own hand, Qiao Xi quickly stopped, bowing her head to play with her phone to hide her emotions.
Shen Dang raised the car window.
Qiao Xi looked at him.
Shen Dang’s lips curled into a smile: "If you’re hot, should I turn the air conditioning down more?"
Qiao Xi turned her head away, refusing to look at him any longer.
Every part of Shen Dang’s face displayed a pleasant mood.
At Tan Garden, the two entered a private room.
Qiao Xi poured a cup of tea and said nonchalantly, "I’ve taken a role. Once Sister Li negotiates everything, I’ll be joining the set."
