The na "Xi Bao" rolled off his tongue with an undeniably improper flirtatious tone.
"Scared?" Qiao Xi chuckled and corrected him seriously, "I’m not scared, I’m just guarding against you."
Shen Dang was stunned for a mont, then innocently responded, "Guarding against what?"
Qiao Xi gave him a cool smile and retorted, "What do you think?"
Shen Dang raised both hands in surrender, still feigning innocence, "I don’t know."
Qiao Xi watched him with a could-not-care-less attitude.
Waiting to see when he would stop putting on this act.
It seed as if Shen Dang realized sothing and drawled out, "Afraid I’ll kiss you?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
How could he speak those words so brazenly?
Shen Dang continued leisurely, "Didn’t you rather enjoy it just now?"
Even reveled in it.
If it weren’t for that intrusive phone call...
Boss Shen’s eyes were still filled with unfulfilled desire.
"Shen, Dang!"
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth.
A flush of unnatural redness spread across her face.
She had always been the one with thinner skin.
"What on earth are you talking about?!"
Seeing her irritated little face, Shen Dang chuckled lowly and gently soothed, "Okay, okay, I know you’re shy, I won’t say it anymore."
"!!!!"
He kept talking, still talking!
Really pushing his luck!
Thinking of that phrase, Qiao Xi felt even that had beco improper.
All Shen Dang’s fault!
Qiao Xi forcefully pulled his hands away, hopped off his lap, and then stord into the room with indignation.
Shen Dang hurriedly followed, but this ti Qiao Xi reacted quickly, shutting Shen Dang out.
His laughter was provoked by her angry actions.
He lazily knocked on the door, "Are you sure you don’t need my help? I am quite the dostic handyman."
There was no sound from inside, but Shen Dang knew she could hear him.
The door wasn’t soundproof at all, and Qiao Xi was at a loss for words when she heard his brazen comnts.
"Helping your girlfriend pack is a boyfriend’s duty, won’t you give a chance to show off?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
She should have insisted he not co upstairs when they were downstairs just now.
Qiao Xi put on her Bluetooth earphone and called Bei Bei.
Bei Bei picked up quickly, "Sister Xi, what’s up?"
Qiao Xi folded her clothes and replied, "We’re going back to Mo City tomorrow, buy a ticket for around noon."
Just arriving a bit later in the small town of Mo City.
Qiao Xi didn’t want Shen Dang to pick her up for the airport so early.
Today’s conversation with Assistant Gao made her think that Shen Dang must be very busy with work.
Bei Bei hesitated, "Aren’t you joining the IZ event?"
"A change of plans."
"Alright, I’ll get the ticket in a bit, and we’ll et at the airport?"
"No, have the driver co pick up tomorrow."
"Ah... okay." Bei Bei quickly agreed.
"Then that’s settled."
After hanging up, Qiao Xi started to play music on her phone.
Actually, she didn’t have much to organize, and she was done in a short while.
Thinking of Shen Dang outside, Qiao Xi didn’t go to take a shower right away.
Instead, she opened the door and went out.
In just that little while, Shen Dang was sitting on the couch making a call, looking upset.
Qiao Xi approached and poured herself a glass of water,
Holding the cup, she leaned against the wall near the water cooler, her eyes fixed on Shen Dang.
Shen Dang glanced her way and said to the person on the phone, "I’ll call you back later."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Was he hanging up so quickly?
Qiao Xi planned to go back to her room, but Shen Dang blocked her path.
His lips curved teasingly, "What are you looking at for?"
Qiao Xi asked calmly, "How would you know I’m looking at you if you weren’t looking at ?"
"Good thing I was watching, or I wouldn’t know you were." Pausing deliberately, he added, "Does this action an you want to invite to do sothing?"
His voice was laced with a light flirtatiousness.
Qiao Xi: "..."
She burst into vexed laughter, "You’re really good at misinterpreting what I say."
"Ah, is that so?"
He seed a bit disappointed.
"It is!" Qiao Xi was enraged with embarrassnt.
She certainly didn’t have the sa constant thoughts he did of wanting to ’do sothing’ to her!
His mind was full of impure thoughts.
"Well, then."
He sounded genuinely disappointed as he spoke.
"Aren’t you leaving yet?"
It was also getting late.
Shen Dang checked the ti on his wrist and said seriously, "What ti are you going to the airport tomorrow? I’ll take you."
"It’s a noon flight, no need for you to take , I’ve asked Bei Bei to arrange a driver."
Shen Dang rembered he had an unavoidable lunch appointnt tomorrow.
"So when will you be back next?"
His gaze fixed on her.
Her lips shone with a red hue, fresh from his kiss not long ago.
She drank so water, the moisture lingering on her lips, enhancing their alluring sheen.
Boss Shen felt a stirring in his body.
Seeing the change in his eyes, Qiao Xi knew exactly what he was thinking.
"I probably won’t co back until this film wraps." Qiao Xi looked away from him, "You should leave. It’s getting late, and I need to shower and rest."
Shen Dang gently ruffled her hair, his gaze soft and tender, "One kiss before I go."
Color tinged his words again.
Was he incapable of not thinking of these things?
Shen Dang didn’t seem to be looking for her permission, taking her chin in his hand, he kissed her.
Several minutes later, he finally let her go.
"I’m heading back."
Qiao Xi nodded slightly, out of breath, "Okay."
Boss Shen obediently left.
Qiao Xi then let out a sigh of relief.
As she prepared to sleep, a ssage popped up on WeChat.
[Boyfriend: Good night.]
[Qiao Xi: Good night.]
When she nad Shen Dang as ’Boyfriend’ in her contacts before, Qiao Xi hadn’t thought much of it, as it was their normal relationship.
But now, looking at the word ’Boyfriend,’ she felt oddly ashad.
This was all due to Boss Shen’s tricky moves tonight.
Qiao Xi promptly changed ’Boyfriend’ to another na.
[Shen Dang]
Her own label.
Suddenly, Qiao Xi found these two characters more pleasing to the eye.
She went to sleep contented.
...
Chu Xiuyun returned from Mo City in a sorry state, completely overwheld by a pile of troubles at the company.
It was only in his spare monts that he rembered Qiao Nan hadn’t sent him Qiao Xi’s photo.
Chu Xiuyun’s eyes instantly turned foreboding.
His expression cold, he made a WeChat call to Qiao Nan.
Displayed on the screen was a ssage—
[The other party has put you on the block list, video call is not available.]
Chu Xiuyun let out a scornful laugh.
Qiao Nan was bold, daring to block him.
What was she trying to do?
Chu Xiuyun dialed another number, his voice grave, "Find out Qiao Xi’s recent whereabouts!"
