Qiao Xi: "..."
Seeing this, Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Boss Shen was quite sothing.
"Boss Shen: I’m at Xiaotang Mountain now, when are you coming over?"
That ssage was from half an hour ago.
Qiao Xi replied slowly: "I’m on my way to Xiaotang Mountain with Baola and Tutu right now."
Boss Shen responded instantly: "What are you doing? Not replying to my ssages all the ti, is your boyfriend not as important as your sisters?"
Qiao Xi replied with a chuckle: "Who has ti to check their phone while shopping and getting beauty treatnts? You have to understand, Boss Shen."
"Boss Shen: No, Boss Shen cannot understand."
Qiao Xi could imagine Boss Shen on the other end, looking all noble and proud.
Qiao Xi: "..."
How was she supposed to reply to this?
"Boss Shen: Have you had dinner yet?"
"Qiao Xi: Not yet, I only had so dessert with Baola this afternoon."
"Boss Shen: I’ll have soone prepare the dishes so that you can eat as soon as you arrive."
"Qiao Xi: Okay."
The dessert from the afternoon had been used up during their shopping; after all the to and fro, she was indeed hungry.
Watching Boss Shen being so considerate, she silently changed the remark associated with his contact info.
"Boss Shen" was changed to "Boyfriend."
That should fit his identity now, right?
Before they even saw their group, Qu Jiashu also sent a ssage: "When will you arrive?"
Qiao Xi looked at the road signs outside: "About ten more minutes."
Qu Jiashu replied with an "OK" emoji.
...
Half an hour later, outside Xiaotang Mountain.
Xie Baola executed a beautiful drift, smoothly parking Qiao Xi’s car in the parking spot.
"Wow," Su Tutu marveled as she looked out, "Sister, great driving skills."
Xie Baola threw her a proud, flirty glance: "Sister, I’ll teach you next ti."
"Sure," Su Tutu readily agreed, "Then I must learn."
Qiao Xi: "..."
She, whose driving skills were not really up to par, had nothing to say.
"Paula."
Qu Jiashu walked out of the club, slowly approaching them.
Xie Baola’s eyes lifted, and she thumped Jiashu on the shoulder: "Long ti no see, Young Master Qu."
Qu Jiashu glanced at his shoulder, giving Xie Baola a look with a hint of amusent in his eyes: "Haven’t seen each other for three years, everyone is upstairs, let’s go up."
"Okay." Xie Baola, taking her ti in high heels and speaking leisurely, asked, "Who’s there?"
Jiashu nad a few people.
"Is Shen Dang there?" Xie Baola directly asked.
Qu Jiashu gave Qiao Xi a glance, then nodded: "Ah Dang is definitely here."
Xie Baola’s expression was playful: "Tsk, looking forward to eting Boss Shen."
Qu Jiashu took another look at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi gave him a reassuring look.
Reaching the door of the private room, Qu Jiashu pushed it open.
The room was already bustling, with various noises blending together.
"Paula has arrived."
Seeing them arrive, the noise in the private room slowly subsided.
Tang Honghe sprang up from the couch to face Xie Baola, his expression dark: "Tsk, back again, long ti no see, miss."
Xie Baola gave him a glance.
Tang Honghe popped open a bottle of wine and passed it to Xie Baola.
She took it and drank straight from the bottle.
"Wow~"
"666~"
Cheers arose, interspersed with whistling sounds.
Qiao Xi whispered in her ear: "Baola, don’t drink too much."
Xie Baola tilted her head and leaned on her, grinning and saying, "I’ll be fine."
At that mont, Shen Dang’s peach blossom eyes narrowed when he saw this scene: "Xixi."
There was a touch of displeasure in his deep gaze.
Qiao Xi heard Shen Dang calling her.
She told Baola and walked over to Shen Dang.
Shen Dang tapped on the tablet, instructing the waiter to serve the dishes.
When he put the tablet back, he casually pulled Qiao Xi closer.
His movents were urgent, as if afraid she would run away.
The cool and beautiful image of Qiao Xi carried a smile: "What’s up?"
Shen Dang’s voice sounded as if he was grinding his teeth: "When you ca in, you didn’t even look for first."
Qiao Xi was silent for a mont: "Err, there are too many people."
Not satisfied with the explanation, Boss Shen persisted: "Even so, you should have looked for your boyfriend first."
Qiao Xi: "..."
What could she say to that?
She could only appease him.
anwhile, Xie Baola was settling scores with Tang Honghe and a host of young gentlen.
"Wow, so none of you told about such a big thing happening to Xixi."
Feeling guilty, Tang Honghe looked away, his gaze accidentally falling on Qu Keke, who was imrsed in her phone. He quickly called out: "Qu Keke, want a drink?"
Qu Jiashu imdiately intervened: "She can’t drink."
Qu Keke stuck out her tongue at them: "I wasn’t planning to anyway."
Keke was being quite well-behaved tonight, sitting on the side playing with her phone and drinking a beverage, not causing any trouble.
Xie Baola scoffed: "Don’t try to change the subject! You guys are really good at hiding things!"
The fiery temper of Hai City’s Little Chili was frankly a bit intimidating.
One of the young gentlen said: "Paula, it’s not that we didn’t want to tell you, Madam Shen ordered that the matter should not be spread, we didn’t dare to gossip."
"Exactly, take a look, does anyone in the entertainnt circle know about Brother Dang and his wife? No!"
"Forgive us, we wouldn’t dare to talk about it even with ten guts."
Everyone was tacit about this.
Though the matter was public knowledge, it was also tightly sealed.
Consequently, Xie Baola, being abroad, hadn’t caught any wind of it for years.
Xie Baola’s cold laugh continued: "You an leaking it to the outside world? I’m part of this circle too, you all chose not to tell even , right?"
If she had known about it, she would have tried everything to prevent it.
Xie Baola swept a cold gaze over the group: "Or have you stopped considering a friend?"
"We never said that!" Tang Honghe imdiately protested: "Now that so much ti has passed, there’s no need to dwell on it."
Qu Jiashu was much calr: "Paula, now that Ah Dang and Xixi are in a relationship, it is a fact."
Xie Baola snorted: "Of course I know."
"Then let’s all be happy about it," Tang Honghe clapped.
Who said we’re all happy about it?
Xie Baola glanced at him indifferently: "Tonight, you’re all drinking with ! Until you can’t stand up!"
Tang Honghe was spooked, cautiously eyeing her: "Miss, can I leave early then?"
Xie Baola let out a scoff: "No!"
Qu Jiashu smiled: "Co on, Paula, I’ll drink with you."
From another part of the room, Shen Dang watched the people over there, his expression half-mocking: "That friend of yours..."
Qiao Xi lifted her eyes to him, her gaze deep and serene: "What about my friend?"
Shen Dang’s gaze returned to Qiao Xi: "How did you beco friends with soone with such a personality?"
