"What do you mean, sister?"
Actually, Su Tutu didn't quite understand the details between Qiao Xi and Shen Dang.
The seat yesterday was specially arranged by Su Tutu, but it didn't seem like any sparks flew between the two.
"Didn't Sheng Chao tell you?"
"Brother Chao is not interested in gossiping about you guys to me."
Sheng Chao probably only knew about their business marriage, what else could he tell her?
Qiao Xi looked up at the sky, which was dotted with only a few stars, and succinctly said, "I help him deal with the Shen Family, he helps me deal with the Qiao Family, it's that simple."
Su Tutu, with the gleam of gossip in her eyes, said, "You two are so in sync, might as well just be together right here and now."
"You're crazy, we're not like you and Sheng Chao, in love. Don't talk nonsense."
"Shen Dang is so excellent, women out there are eying him like prey. You're the one nearest to the water tower who gets the moon first."
Qiao Xi raised her phoenix eyes, the cool moonlight fell on her lashes, adding a few touches of coldness, "Don't even go there. Shen Dang is the moon in the sky, not something a mere mortal like me could reach for."
Su Tutu rested her chin on her hands, staring intently at Qiao Xi, "If even you, a Goddess of Divine Beauty, call yourself a mortal, then what am I?"
Even a beauty like Su Tutu was overshadowed by Qiao Xi's looks.
You couldn't find a second person in the entire entertainment industry as fairy-like and beautiful as her.
"Let's stop talking about him." Qiao Xi leaned against Su Tutu, "With these thoughts, I'd rather shoot a few more movies."
Tsk, such a waste of a fairy's beauty.
Su Tutu poked her on the forehead gently, "Listen, sister, a nearly devilish man like Boss Shen, anyone who has contact with him, will one day be bewitched by him."
Qiao Xi's red lips parted, speaking dismissively, "I'm not that superficial."
Little did they know, Su Tutu's words were prophetic.
The night breeze blew gently, and under the warm yellow street lamps, the red roses swayed, exuding an enchanting fragrance.
Suddenly, the phone in her bag vibrated. Qiao Xi took it out and saw that it was a call from her agent Wang Li.
"Sister Li."
"Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, there's a livestream with Zhou Junqi, don't forget."
Qiao Xi calmly replied, "I remember."
"..." Wang Li: "Set an alarm. It's best to log on a few minutes early."
"Got it."
"Alright, get some rest early." Wang Li finished giving instructions and hung up.
"Brother Chao!" Qiao Xi only felt a gust of wind at her side, then saw Su Tutu throw herself into a man's arms. She hit him with such force that the man stumbled back a few steps. The man indulgently patted her back.
Feeling her cool back, the man immediately took off his suit and draped it over her shoulders, "Next time, you're not allowed to wear a backless dress."
"Isn't it pretty?"
Tsk, look at this display of affection.
Standing behind Sheng Chao was another tall and silent man.
Qiao Xi's gaze passed over them and landed on Shen Dang, and the smile in her eyes faded a bit.
Shen Dang also glanced over, a keychain dangling lazily from his finger, tilted his chin upward, "Let's go."
Qiao Xi stood up, the swing behind her making a "clang" sound, "Is it over?"
"The old man has gone back to rest."
"Then let's go."
"Sister," Su Tutu winked at Qiao Xi suggestively, "Remember what I just said, about reaching for the moon, hmm?"
Sisters, charge!
Reach for the moon my ass.
Qiao Xi smiled coyly, "You're off to honeymoon, aren't you? Just don't forget to unpack the wedding gift I sent you."
Su Tutu's eyes gleamed as she watched them leave, "Tsk tsk tsk, the silhouettes of those two just radiate the aura of a divine couple. Brother Chao, are they for real?"
Sheng Chao wrapped his arm around her waist, schadenfreuding, "Who knows."
When the two left, they went to say goodbye to Shen Dang's parents.
Ran Jing held onto Qiao Xi's hand, "Xixi, it's getting late, why don't you stay over tonight?"
"Mom," Shen Dang said with a sly smile on his lips, "Our couple's affection is deep right now, don't disturb us, please be good."
Ran Jing's eyes and brows were all smiling, "Alright, alright, you two go on, drive safely."
Qiao Xi let out a sigh of relief as she got into the car.
She relaxed and kicked off her high heels.
Shen Dang noticed her actions and raised an eyebrow, "Superstar Qiao is dropping the act in front of me now?"
"What kind of image do I have in your eyes?" Qiao Xi leaned lazily against the seat and countered.
"Just..."
Shen Dang's fingers tapping on the steering wheel paused, seemingly pondering.
Not hearing Shen Dang's voice, Qiao Xi looked at him strangely, and what?
What was this dog of a man trying to say?
The car's interior was dimly lit, Shen Dang met her confused and moist phoenix eyes and laughed, adding, "Quite a hot-tempered young lady."
Qiao Xi: "???"
Crazy. Saying she had a bad temper, he was the first person to say that about her. Was he under some kind of misunderstanding about her?
Qiao Xi sarcastically retorted, "Of course, I can't compare to Boss Shen's moods." Sometimes sunny, sometimes moody.
Shen Dang deadpanned, "After all, I am the boss and you're not."
"..."
Qiao Xi was tired and couldn't be bothered to argue, so she closed her eyes to feign sleep, "Please take me home, Boss Shen, thank you."
The car filled with the soft melody of music, adding an inexplicable tenderness to the air.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and soon dozed off.
Outside Sheng Birch Mansion, Shen Dang glanced over, looking at the woman next to him who was breathing evenly, clearly asleep. His fingers carelessly drummed on the steering wheel, his eyes betraying unclear intentions.
After a while, that bit of mischievousness inside him uncontrollably rose up.
Shen Dang turned on the ambient light, leaned over, and with a flick of his finger, flicked Qiao Xi's plump forehead.
The feel of it wasn't bad.
When Qiao Xi opened her eyes, she saw a magnified handsome face. His smooth facial features could only be described as perfect. She was still somewhat dazed and didn't notice how much closer they had become.
"You're awake?"
Qiao Xi, groggy, asked, "Have we arrived?"
Then she saw the slight, nonchalant, and inscrutable smile appear on Shen Dang's thin lips.
"I'm so jealous of Miss Qiao, able to sleep so soundly in the car."
"..."
She caught the sarcasm in his tone.
Qiao Xi now fully awake, pushed against Shen Dang's chest to put distance between them, her brow furrowed in annoyance, "Stay away from me."
Shen Dang leaned back comfortably, a slight smirk lifting the corner of his eye, "It's not like I saw someone sleeping like a pig or anything."
Qiao Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes, even such a gesture was attractive when she did it, "You're the pig!"
Shen Dang scoffed lightly, "Get out of the car. I bring you home and don't get a single thank you, and yet you dare to talk back."
"Just keeping up with each other, right? Boss Shen, I look forward to our next collaboration."
She stretched out her hand.
Shen Dang didn't move, and just snickered.
Since she was at her doorstep, Qiao Xi didn't bother to bicker with him.
As soon as she closed the car door, the vehicle took off with a "vroom."
Qiao Xi got a face full of exhaust.
She instantly flared up, "What kind of man!"
Is that it?
Bewitched by him?
