Upon hearing this, she was stunned, "You want to share a room with ?"
"I only booked two rooms; what’s the problem with sharing one with you?" he said leisurely as he looked at her.
Qiao Xi quietly stared at him, asking patiently, "Are there no spare rooms in this hotel?"
Otherwise, she couldn’t explain his behavior.
Boss Shen remained calm, "Yes, there are."
He had co all this way; there was no reason to stay in separate rooms now.
Qiao Xi laughed in spite of her frustration at his matter-of-fact attitude, "Then why didn’t you book one for yourself too?"
"Ding—"
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk back in the room." Shen Dang pulled Qiao Xi with one hand and dragged her suitcase with the other as they walked out.
Qiao Xi was pulled along; he took large strides, and she had to hurry to keep up, "Shen Dang!"
Her voice was urgent, tinged with tension.
Shen Dang turned to look at her, his handso face innocent, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Xi gritted her back teeth a little, "We..."
She was embarrassed to say it, but still gritted her teeth and blurted out, "We can’t sleep together!"
She disagreed; she wasn’t ready yet.
Although she was touched that he had co such a long way, wasn’t this progress a bit too swift?
She couldn’t accept it.
Shen Dang looked at her nervous expression and couldn’t help but laugh, "Who said I was going to sleep with you?"
The irritation in Qiao Xi’s heart wasn’t soothed.
Since that was the case, why did he only book one room?
Shen Dang bent down close to her ear, his smile and breath transmitting together, his voice low and seductive, carrying a hint of ambiguity, "If you want to sleep with you, it’s not impossible. I’d be more than happy."
Who would want that? Does he have no sha?
Qiao Xi was infuriated; she pushed him away, her face taut with anger, "Shen Dang, stop ssing around!"
Shen Dang watched her serious, pursed-lipped expression and smiled wryly, "Don’t worry, I booked a suite."
He had just wanted to tease her, not expecting such a big reaction.
When he was a schoolboy, he never understood those boys who liked to tease their female classmates; now, he finally did.
It might be a bit late for soone his age to realize this.
But he suddenly found this feeling pretty good.
Her angry expression even seed vivid and lively.
"You..." Qiao Xi took a deep breath, her voice cold, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you!"
"Unjust accusation."
He wouldn’t admit it.
Qiao Xi scoffed and quickly walked ahead, finding their room; she swiped the key card to enter.
As Qiao Xi turned to close the room door, Shen Dang blocked it with his hand, giving her a teasing look, "Not letting in?"
Qiao Xi’s lips curved, but her smile was nowhere to be seen, "Yes, don’t co in!"
"That won’t do."
Shen Dang forcefully squeezed through the door.
Unable to stop him, Qiao Xi glared at him and turned towards the living room.
"Xixi?" Shen Dang hurriedly dropped the suitcase and followed, trying to grab her hand, "Are you angry?"
Qiao Xi dodged his touch several tis, her voice dry, "I’m going to take a shower."
"Are you going to eat a late-night snack?"
"Bang," Qiao Xi shut the door, giving him no response.
Shen Dang awkwardly touched his nose and opened a food delivery app to order so takeout.
After ordering, he ssaged Qiao Xi.
The takeout would take more than half an hour to arrive at the hotel, so Shen Dang put down his phone and went to shower.
Minutes later, he erged from the bathroom wearing only a towel, his lower half concealed while the chiseled, bare upper half shone with droplets of water on his porcelain-like skin, glistening from his waist slid downwards, gathering into his towel.
Not seeing Qiao Xi in the living room, Shen Dang went to knock on her bedroom door, "Xixi."
"What do you want?"
Her voice was sharply cold from inside the room.
Shen Dang said, "Did you see the ssage I sent? I ordered so food; co out and eat later."
Qiao Xi had seen it; she was a bit hungry but didn’t really want to eat a late-night al with Shen Dang.
This guy was becoming increasingly bold.
Now that his status had changed, he was getting more presumptuous.
Earlier, he had restrained himself and been polite, but now he took any chance to show how clingy and troubleso he could be.
Qiao Xi feared she might not be able to hold out one day.
"Xixi?"
Seeing no response from inside, Shen Dang raised his hand and knocked again, his tone slightly rising.
"I’m not eating!"
Qiao Xi decided not to go out.
She’d rather go to sleep hungry.
Shen Dang asked with a teasing smile, "Aren’t you hungry?"
Qiao Xi’s voice was increasingly impatient, "No!"
Shen Dang coaxed in a low voice, "Can you open the door, please?"
Silence followed from inside.
Shen Dang tried to turn the doorknob; it was locked from the inside, and he couldn’t open the door.
Shen Dang couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Just the two of them, and she still locked the door.
Who was she guarding against?
The doorbell rang outside.
Shen Dang picked up the takeout and ca inside.
"Knock knock knock—"
Shen Dang continued to knock on Qiao Xi’s door, his deep voice flowing through, "Xixi, the takeout has arrived."
"I already said I’m not eating."
Qiao Xi’s voice sounded muffled from inside.
"Really not eating?"
"Not eating, not eating."
How annoying could he be?
Shen Dang held a nu in his hands, his gaze lowered, speaking offhandedly, "I ordered pineapple beef short ribs, baked crab treasure, molten lava sushi, crab stick hot spring egg salad, and crayfish. Are you sure you don’t want any?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
Hearing the nas of dishes when hungry could evoke a strong desire to eat.
No matter what, Qiao Xi really almost drooled.
She felt even hungrier.
Shen Dang, that cunning man, was surely luring her on purpose right?
With a sigh-like tone, Shen Dang said, "If you’re still not eating then never mind, I can’t finish it alone, I’ll have to throw it out."
"Whoosh—"
Qiao Xi pulled open the door.
Her jaw tensed slightly.
She looked up at Shen Dang and suddenly realized he was shirtless, clad only below the waist; the sight was nearly lethal.
Qiao Xi’s gaze felt scorched; she hastily dropped her eyes to her toes, her face burning.
This stunning display of male beauty almost made her heart skip a beat.
She had seen male celebrities and models, but none had a physique as striking as Shen Dang’s.
That intense pheromonal presence was full of temptation, like the most potent poison in the world, hard to resist.
Seeing Shen Dang’s shoes enter her sight, she gritted her teeth, "Shen Dang, can you put on so clothes!"
Is he an exhibitionist or what?
Shen Dang watched her avoiding gaze, and where she couldn’t see, his smile was very smug and gleaming.
His voice feigned grievance, "I didn’t bring any clothes. The clothes I had are being washed, and I can only wear them tomorrow."
Qiao Xi had nothing to say; she turned to walk back into her room, deciding not to eat the snack no matter how hungry she was.
But before she could enter, Shen Dang pulled her back.
He firmly pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"I am your boyfriend, not soone else," Shen Dang’s voice was stern and sincere, "What are you fussing about?"
