Chapter 488: Chapter 488

Everyone at the table looked over at them.

Su Tutu said to the curious group nearby, "Anyone who is Xixi’s WeChat friend, go check her Moments."

Then, Su Tutu also commented, "Boss Shen’s naming skills are pretty mediocre."

Sheng Chao replied to her, "Wife, should we also get a pet?"

Su Tutu replied to him, "No, let’s just steal one from Boss Shen and Xixi next time."

It took Sheng Chao a few minutes to reply, "That could work, we’ll go over when they’ve fattened them up."

"Su Tutu: Great idea!"

These two were now openly chatting in Qiao Xi’s comment section.

A message popped up, and Qiao Xi opened her chat with Shen Dang.

"Husband: Whatever and Huahua both miss you a lot."

"Qiao Xi: I miss them too."

"Husband: You miss them and not me?"

These few words were enough to show his jealousy.

He just wanted her to clearly say she missed him.

Qiao Xi took a trip to the restroom and sent Shen Dang a quick two-second voice message, "I miss you."

Her usually cool voice was mixed with laughter.

Qiao Xi didn’t reply to him anymore and returned to the private room.

As for the ’husband’ label, it wasn’t Qiao Xi who set it but Shen Dang who changed it himself after seeing how she had him tagged.

What else could Qiao Xi do?

She just let him have his way.

Seeing that Qiao Xi hadn’t replied to his messages, Shen Dang bombarded her with messages.

Qiao Xi took out her phone, unsurprised to see a dozen messages from Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi rapidly typed: "I miss you, miss you, miss Shen Dang, miss my husband."

He finally calmed down.

"Wife: Is that satisfactory?"

Seeing this, Shen Dang lifted his hand to pet nearby dog and cat heads. "You two need to be good, wait for your mom to come home."

Whatever and Huahua watched him in their naive ways, Huahua tilting her head as though she couldn’t understand what dad was saying.

Time flowed like water.

After finishing her filming in South City, Qiao Xi returned to Hai City.

Shen Dang got to the airport to pick up Qiao Xi, and as soon as she arrived, he pinched her chin and kissed her.

Qiao Xi was somewhat stunned by his actions.

She didn’t manage to say a word.

Shen Dang kissed her over and over, from her eyes to her nose tip, and then the lips, just being unbearably clingy.

Qiao Xi pushed him slightly and couldn’t help but laugh, "What are you doing?"

Shen Dang bit her lower lip, slightly pulling it out. "You left me for so long."

His breath turned inexplicably hot.

His hands still restrained her, almost pinning her to the seat.

If anyone walked past their car’s windshield, they could see what they were doing inside.

Shen Dang had been rather well-behaved these days because his work kept him too busy to follow Qiao Xi to South City.

But they had never missed a daily call or video chat.

Now that Shen Dang saw her, he felt an itch in his heart and could only quench it with a kiss.

Leaning back against the seat, Qiao Xi laughed lazily, "It hasn’t been that long, I have to go abroad next week."

Shen Dang looked into her eyes. "For work?"

"Going to a film festival."

"Hmm," Shen Dang murmured, his fingertips caressing the corner of her eye. "I’ll come with you then."

Qiao Xi’s eyelashes fluttered, "Will you have the time?"

Shen Dang kissed her again, and as she caught her breath, he lazily smiled, "I just finished a project recently. If I arrange my work in advance, I can go with you."

Qiao Xi was genuinely happy. Though she didn’t say it, she had really missed Shen Dang during this time.

She was going abroad to compete for the title of Movie Queen, and having Shen Dang accompany her would be wonderful. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

Her heart was easily swayed by him, and once she calmed the ripples in her heart, she said with pride, "Enough now, let’s drive, don’t get stuck here."

She had her pride, but not much of it.

Shen Dang buckled her seatbelt, his warm palm patting her head. Seeing her smiling eyes, he smiled too.

Back in the driver’s seat, he asked while driving, "Did Grandpa message you, are we going back to Shen Family for dinner?"

"Grandpa told me, let’s go to Shen Family."

"If you feel tired and don’t want to go, we can go another time."

Shen Dang glanced at her.

There’s always a chance for dinner, but Shen Dang obviously prioritized Qiao Xi in everything.

Qiao Xi knew Shen Dang cared about her, "Not at all, I was planning to visit Grandpa this time I’m back."

They hadn’t visited the Shen Family Mansion since their registration.

This would officially be their first formal dinner there.

Before heading to Shen Family, Qiao Xi still bought many gifts to bring along.

It was inevitable for Old Master Shen and Ran Jing to say a few words.

But as their granddaughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, it was necessary to prepare gifts.

It was an expression of respect from a younger generation.

And it was Shen Dang who paid for the gifts.

Seeing Qiao Xi, Ran Jing was very emotional and held her hand, "That’s great, we can go shopping together in the future."

Both had experienced a business marriage and had since officially registered together, Ran Jing was deeply moved.

Previously, due to the fear of media attention, they dared not be too ostentatious, but now that they had made it official, there was no need to hide.

Ran Jing had witnessed their love story.

Now her daughter-in-law was still the one she liked, Ran Jing just felt that her son was fortunate not to have lost his loved one.

Qiao Xi smiled and responded, "Okay."

Shen Hongxuan was also much more pleasant to Qiao Xi than before, "Whenever you have time, come over for meals."

Qiao Xi still said, "Okay."

Old Master Shen, however, hoped they could hurry up and have children.

Qiao Xi didn’t know what to say this time, but luckily Shen Dang averted the crisis, "When it’s time for children, we will naturally have them."

Old Master Shen wanted to say more, but looking at the young couple, he ultimately said nothing.

On the way back to Riverfront Villa from Shen Family Mansion, Shen Dang nonchalantly said, "Don’t take Grandpa’s words to heart."

Qiao Xi shook her head.

Old folks definitely have some obsessions, and it was understandable for Grandpa to hope for them to have children.

Qiao Xi knew that Grandpa wasn’t forcing her.

No one was forcing her.

She would understand, of course.

Shen Dang parked the car and they both walked into the house.

Before opening the door, they heard the scratching of paws.

It was definitely Whatever realizing they were back.

Shen Dang opened the door, and indeed, Whatever couldn’t wait to squeeze through the door gap, barking and wagging its tail frantically at them.

Huahua also meowed, circling Shen Dang’s legs.

Whatever even tried to jump on Qiao Xi.

But before it could move, it was stopped by a look from Shen Dang.

Animals understand human nature, especially dogs. Shen Dang had been training the two pets during this period.

Under Shen Dang’s signal, Whatever lay its front paws on the ground, its tail still wagging frequently, mouth open, panting.

Shen Dang picked up Huahua.

Qiao Xi reached out and petted Huahua’s head, "I feel like Whatever and Huahua have changed a lot."
