Qiao Xi gave him a nod, "Mm, go ahead."
After she finished speaking, she added, "I won’t wait for you, I’m already hungry. If you don’t co back, I’ll just eat everything myself."
Her voice was casual and light, yet carried a hint of a cat’s proud capriciousness.
Shen Dang gave a short laugh with a smile and reached out to touch her head, "You eat first, I’ll be back soon."
"Oh."
Qiao Xi nodded again.
Resting her cheek on one hand, she watched the direction Shen Dang left. Once he closed the door, she took off her coat and hung it up neatly.
Autumn had arrived in Hai City, and even the dayti felt cool.
The film shoot this ti was a bit long, stretching from sumr into deep autumn. Ti always seed to fly by so quickly.
It felt like it was over in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps under Boss Shen’s instructions, the waiter served the dishes quickly. Qiao Xi waited a few minutes, and seeing that Shen Dang still had not returned, she began to eat by herself.
She was truly hungry.
There was also a bottle of Romanée red wine on the table.
Qiao Xi poured herself half a glass and savored it leisurely.
When Shen Dang returned, he saw her already having finished a third of the red wine by herself.
Shen Dang raised his eyebrows and slowly walked toward her, hooking his hand under her chin, "Drinking wine?"
The woman’s face, stunningly beautiful and cool, was like the dawn’s light, with every feature from the corner of her eye to the arch of her brow exquisitely refined. Her originally fair skin now had a faint pink flush, more alluring than if she had applied blush.
Seeing the light red at the corner of her eyes, he suddenly had a wicked thought.
Shen Dang lowered his head and touched her lips.
The fragrance of the wine mingled with both of their breaths.
Qiao Xi tilted her neck passively, a bit tired.
Seeing that Shen Dang had no intention of letting her go, Qiao Xi raised her hand and punched him lightly, whimpering for him to let go.
Shen Dang gazed down, eyes sparkling beneath long lashes.
Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, "I’m still hungry here."
Her cold voice carried a trace of coquettish laziness and faint complaint.
All because of this enchanting man, he kisses whenever he pleases, it’s outrageous.
"I’m hungry too," he said.
Her lips beca moist and red.
Boss Shen looked at his handiwork with satisfaction, his fingertip lightly gliding over her lips.
These three words were spoken with a deep aning.
Qiao Xi pretended not to catch the insinuation in his words, looked away, and pushed him, "If you’re hungry, sit down and eat, stop fooling around."
Now close to him, Qiao Xi could sll the aroma of alcohol on him.
She glanced up slightly, "Have you been drinking too?"
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow.
He hadn’t actually had a drink, it was just that so wine had spilled on his clothes.
However, Shen Dang didn’t intend to explain.
Shen Dang sat down beside her.
Qiao Xi poked him on the waist with a finger, slightly annoyed, "Isn’t there a seat over there? Why are you squeezing in here with ?"
Actually, the sofa wasn’t cramped at all.
But his presence was always strong, making Qiao Xi feel crowded by his side.
Actually, it was the pressure he brought with him.
"Like sticking to you, is that not okay?"
He asked boldly and confidently.
What could Qiao Xi say?
She casually replied, "If you like it, then fine."
"Mm, I do like squeezing in next to you," Shen Dang admitted openly.
Qiao Xi: "..."
She felt a sudden warmth on her face, "Let’s eat, no more talking."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi’s phone began to ring.
Shen Dang glanced at the na on the screen; it was a call from Xie Baola, the one she had been trying to reach.
He clicked his tongue internally, finding the timing of the call quite inconvenient. It was neither early nor late, but just at this mont.
Indeed, a fine choice of timing.
Eagerly, Qiao Xi answered the call, "Baola."
"Xi Bao, are you back in Hai City? Sorry, I’ve been busy and didn’t catch your call," Baola spoke.
"I’m back, I’m at Tan Garden having dinner. I actually wanted to invite you for a al, but since you’re busy, never mind."
Seeing Qiao Xi’s attention fully on the phone call, the not-to-be-ignored Boss Shen grabbed her hand resting on the table.
Qiao Xi turned to look at him.
What was he up to now?
Shen Dang wasn’t looking at her but idly began playing with her fingers, his gaze cast downward.
Qiao Xi was quite speechless internally and then heard Baola say, "Let’s make it another ti; I’m currently at Holy Mountain and won’t be able to return so soon."
The so-called Holy Mountain was a place for wingsuit flying.
Initially, it was just a gathering place for wingsuit flying enthusiasts, but as the crowd grew, the place earned a na: Holy Mountain.
After wrapping up her work, Baola had begun to unwind.
From bungee jumping to diving, from rock climbing to racing, and finally to wingsuit flying.
But what she had not anticipated was eting an extrely intriguing man at the last stop.
The impulse that Baola had pushed down six months ago resurfaced like wildfire the mont she saw him.
No matter who he was or what his relationships were, this didn’t deter Baola’s impure thoughts!
Qiao Xi knew Baola enjoyed adventures and couldn’t stop her from doing what she liked, but hearing this still made her worry.
"Then let’s et up tomorrow night!"
Hearing Qiao Xi dedicate her next evening to soone else, Boss Shen frowned disapprovingly and bit her hand lightly.
His gaze on her at the mont was especially intense.
"Ah!"
Qiao Xi couldn’t help screaming.
It was a brief scream, but Baola heard it.
"Xi Bao, what’s wrong?"
Her voice showed concern.
Qiao Xi glared accusingly at the instigator.
He really lived up to the na of a scoundrel!
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and once she cald down, she calmly told Baola, "It’s nothing, I just accidentally cut my hand while slicing steak."
Baola didn’t think too much of it, "Be careful, okay, you go eat. I’ll call you when I get back."
"Mm."
Qiao Xi quickly ended the call, slapped her phone on the table, her eyes flashing with a hint of anger, "Shen Dang, you dog of a man!"
She laughed it off.
Even biting her.
Absolutely inhumane.
Shen Dang looked aggrieved, "I was planning to take you soplace tomorrow night, but you’ve made plans with your bestie."
Qiao Xi angrily retorted, "You never ntioned it to in advance!"
Qiao Xi pulled her hand back and pointed at the opposite seat, "Go sit over there, don’t sit by !"
Shen Dang’s dark eyes flickered, "Are you angry?"
"Yes, I am angry!" Qiao Xi affird.
"...All right, then."
Boss Shen stood up obediently and sat down opposite her, gazing at her with puppy-dog eyes.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, "Let’s eat!"
Shen Dang poured her another glass of wine.
Qiao Xi watched his actions with narrowed eyes.
Shen Dang smiled, "Making ands to my girlfriend."
Qiao Xi snorted coldly, not speaking.
Making ands?
Or trying to get her drunk for sure?
She’d have to be crazy to trust his tricks!
Holy Mountain.
Baola stepped out of the tent.
The wind on the mountaintop was strong, whistling through the leaves and chilling to the bone.
Her shirt and jacket fluttered noisily in the wind.
Her chestnut-brown, slightly curled short hair swayed in the breeze too, with bangs blown upward, revealing a face with a spirited and carefree smile.
She tucked one hand into the pocket of her tight pants and eagerly approached the man step by step.
