Chapter 500: Chapter 500

Old Master Shen was sick again, and Qiao Xi frowned, "We’ll have to go and see."

Su Tutu sighed deeply, "Alright, then."

"Pregnant women shouldn’t sigh."

Sheng Chao said that.

Even Qiao Xi heard Sheng Chao’s voice.

How had Brother Chao become ?

Su Tutu swept a resentful glance at Sheng Chao and continued to complain to Qiao Xi, "I called Baola, and she also said she’s busy. It seems I’m the most free right now."

After finishing filming, Xie Baola was busy with post-production and editing, aiming to premiere before this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards.

She had many things to be busy with.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Pregnant women should rest well, and you have Brother Chao to keep you company, right? When I’m not busy, I’ll come to visit you, be good."

Qiao Xi spoke gently and soothingly to her.

Pregnant women should be pampered.

Shen Dang suddenly squinted his eyes, a hint of displeasure in his gaze.

What else could she do, she couldn’t interrupt their work.

"Let’s talk after you’re not busy then."

Qiao Xi looked up only to meet Shen Dang’s ambiguous eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"You’re still soothing Su Tutu?"

His voice contained a bit of resentment.

Doesn’t Su Tutu have her own man to soothe her?

What is Sheng Chao for?

Even letting his wife comfort his wife!

Shen Dang still remembered Sheng Chao bragging in the brothers’ WeChat group about his wife’s pregnancy.

When Qu Jiashu’s wife was pregnant, he didn’t act this way; Sheng Chao changed entirely.

Back then, he even tagged Shen Dang, asking him when he would have kids, suggesting that he better not wait until Sheng Chao’s children could even make soy sauce while his were still unknown.

It was incredibly heart-wrenching.

This ugly side made Shen Dang nearly laugh in anger!

Qiao Xi, supporting her head with her hand, lazily glanced at him, this man was getting jealous over nothing again.

Qiao Xi blinked blankly and deliberately said, "She needs comforting; pregnant women are very sensitive and must not be unhappy."

She said this without any burden on her mind.

Even though Shen Dang’s eyes had darkened.

Qiao Xi struggled to hold back her laugh.

He indeed gritted his teeth and said, "She has Sheng Chao to comfort her. Don’t steal other people’s jobs. You should be comforting me instead."

Stopping, he clicked his tongue lightly, "Why don’t you soothe me?"

Was he escalating the issue?

Qiao Xi wanted to laugh but continued to hold it in, her eyes tactfully probing as she calmly asked, "I can do that too, how would you like me to comfort you?"

Was it really that difficult?

Boss Shen was the easiest to appease.

Shen Dang excitedly whispered three words in her ear.

He deliberately lowered his voice, his already pleasant voice now dangerously enticing, a fatal strike.

Qiao Xi almost couldn’t stand it.

This damn man, doing it on purpose, right?

Qiao Xi raised her little hand and hit him.

Shen Dang, however, took advantage of this to catch her hand, pressing it against his chest, laughing hoarsely.

Qiao Xi could feel the vibrations from his chest transfer to her palm, spreading through her limbs.

He still had the nerve to laugh?

Qiao Xi forcefully pulled her hand back.

Old Master Shen’s condition relapsed and he was admitted to the hospital again.

Qiao Xi and Shen Dang together persuaded him, finally moving the stubborn old man to stay for observation.

The couple sat with the old man, chatting until he grew tired and rested. They planned to return home when, as they were just leaving, they encountered Old Madam Shen.

Ever since that incident, Old Madam had been staying in another villa.

Every time Qiao Xi went to the Shen Family Mansion, she never encountered her.

She probably understood it was because of her, so Grandpa had never allowed Old Madam to come to the main building.

If it hadn’t been for seeing Old Madam today, Qiao Xi might have even forgotten such a person existed.

Upon seeing Qiao Xi, Old Madam’s face turned unsightly.

At this moment, she was being supported by a maid, clearly in bad health, yet with an appearance as if she wanted to rush up and scold Qiao Xi.

She didn’t move, but her questioning voice reached first.

"Grandpa has already rested. Is there anything, Grandma?" Shen Dang’s voice was cold, protective of Qiao Xi.

Old Madam was smiling at him, "I heard Grandpa was hospitalized. I had nothing else to do, so I came to see him."

After all, she was an elder. No one could stop her if she wanted to go out.

Shen Dang’s frown was barely perceptible, "Grandpa has just managed to fall asleep, Grandma, please don’t disturb him."

As he spoke, he instructed the maid taking care of Old Madam, "Take Grandma back. Her health isn’t good, and she shouldn’t go out casually next time."

His voice was decisive, tinged with cold frostiness.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze.

The maid didn’t dare look Shen Dang in the eye, "Old Madam, let’s go back."

Though Old Madam loved this grandson very much, her face still darkened upon hearing this, "I can’t even see your Grandpa now? Ah Dang, have you forgotten that you still have a Grandma? And you’re still with her!"

Her finger trembled as she pointed at Qiao Xi, clearly furious.

Seeing Qiao Xi, the disdain that had accumulated in her heart rose again.

Old Madam hadn’t left the house in over a year but still knew about Shen Dang and Qiao Xi’s affair.

She hadn’t expected them to end up together!

Shen Dang simply wouldn’t listen to her!

Shen Dang’s voice was chilling to the bone, unapologetically saying, "Grandma, Xixi is my wife. We’re about to hold a wedding soon. Even if you can’t love her, please show some courtesy to my wife."

Just then, Shen Hongxuan hurried over from the elevator, surprised, "Mom, why are you here?"

Old Madam instantly directed her anger at her son, "What kind of question is that? Do I need your permission to see my husband? Is there anyone who forbids me from visiting Old Master?" Her fierce eyes glared at Qiao Xi.

There was a hint of blame in her words.

Qiao Xi almost laughed.

"Mom, that’s not what I meant." Shen Hongxuan had been staying in the hospital for the past few days. Though he was tired, he remained calm in front of Old Madam, "Dad will be discharged once his health improves. You don’t need to come over, I’m concerned about your health."

Old Master had been frequently hospitalized this year. She came here to see if he was dead yet. What if he suddenly passed away one day? Shouldn’t she come to see him?

She might live for a few more years!

By then, the entire Shen family would be under her command!

Once she was in charge, she would make Ah Dang divorce Qiao Xi! Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt

"You all are a family, and I’ve become an outsider, right?" Old Madam utterly disregarded his words, "I’m not dead yet, and now you want to restrict my freedom. I want to find Old Master to stand up for me!"

Old Madam was completely being unreasonable.

As she spoke, she even pushed the maid aside and headed towards the hospital room.

Old Master Shen had just managed to rest under the comfort of Qiao Xi and Shen Dang. Seeing this, Shen Hongxuan immediately blocked the door, "Mom, stop making a scene!"
