Chapter 506: Chapter 506

Singing practice shouldn’t last too long each day, or it could damage the vocal cords and actually delay the recording process, so Qiao Xi followed the set schedule.

As soon as time was up, Bei Bei communicated with her through the equipment, "Sister Xi, time’s up."

Qiao Xi took off her headphones and walked out of the recording studio.

Bei Bei immediately handed her a bottle of water.

Qiao Xi twisted open the cap and drank nearly half the bottle.

Only then did the sound engineer say to her, "Teacher Qiao, this time you’ve improved a lot compared to the previous sessions. In a few days, we can try recording the song."

Qiao Xi gave a knowing smile, "Thanks for the hard work."

When Qiao Xi and Bei Bei left the recording booth, Nie Anfong was nowhere to be seen.

The two of them walked outside and saw Shen Dang’s car.

"It’s Assistant Gao!"

Bei Bei was the first to notice the handsome assistant.

Qiao Xi strolled unhurriedly toward the car, and Assistant Gao stood by the car door, opening it for her before she arrived.

As soon as Qiao Xi got into the car, she was scooped up by Shen Dang and placed onto his lap.

Qiao Xi lifted her chin and smiled at him, "Why are you here?"

Shen Dang curled his lips around hers, his laughter lazy, "I came to pick you up for dinner after finishing work."

Once Bei Bei also got in, Assistant Gao drove off.

"After practicing for hours on end, I’m really hungry," Qiao Xi said languidly; "and sitting is tiring too."

Shen Dang didn’t respond, but his hands were actively massaging her lower back.

The pressure was just right.

Qiao Xi hummed contentedly and closed her eyes.

Seeing Qiao Xi leaning against him like a sloth, Shen Dang couldn’t help but let out a rich smile.

He asked with concern, "When can we start recording songs?"

Qiao Xi opened her eyes, "The sound engineer said I’ve improved a lot, and we can try recording in a few days."

"Mrs. Shen is indeed excellent."

Boss Shen routinely praises his wife.

Qiao Xi scoffed, "It’s Qiao Xi who’s excellent."

"Qiao Xi is my wife, and my wife is excellent."

The corners of Qiao Xi’s lips curved up slightly, then she pressed them down again, her voice nonchalant, "Stay low-key, low-key."

Bei Bei internally clicked her tongue a few times.

Her Sister Xi seemed to have become quite childish after getting married.

But it was only in front of Boss Shen that she acted this way.

Could this be the charm of marriage?

Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to Tan Garden for dinner.

When the two arrived at Tan Garden, they bumped into Qu Jiashu and Tang Honghe, and a little tail followed behind them.

Lin Muxian was nowhere to be seen, however.

Since they ran into old friends, it was natural they ended up sitting at the same table.

Shen Dang looked displeased at the glaring light bulbs around him.

"Haven’t you all finished eating?"

The three of them were actually about to leave, but when they saw Shen Dang and Qiao Xi, they followed them back into the private room.

"Just because we’ve eaten doesn’t mean we can’t eat again," Tang Honghe replied unconcerned, "Does eating today mean not eating tomorrow?"

He was being so unreasonable right in front of him.

Shen Dang immediately chuckled coldly, his gaze slightly frosty, "Are you a pig?"

These people had deliberately come to disrupt his and Qiao Xi’s time together, hadn’t they?

"He actually called me a pig! Don’t you think he’s gone too far?" Tang Honghe incredulously said to Qu Keke.

Qu Keke nodded, "Too far! Brother Dang, you shouldn’t say that about Tang Honghe; he’s far from being a pig."

Tang Honghe: "???" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

Qiao Xi burst into laughter.

Qu Keke could be quite cutting too.

She really had changed.

Shen Dang also slightly raised his lips.

Tang Honghe was even more unbelieving.

He stammered "You" several times, finally managing to say, "As my girlfriend, you’re actually elbowing me out?!"

Qu Keke stuck out her tongue fearlessly.

Qu Jiashu shook his head, wanting to say something critical, but ultimately kept silent.

With these two bickering every day, he had become used to it, even numb to it.

Young people just need to be happy.

Shen Dang ignored the three of them during the meal, attentively serving Qiao Xi and making sure she was well taken care of.

Qiao Xi hinted discretely that Shen Dang was doing enough, but he continued in his own way.

The three onlookers all found it sickeningly sweet.

"Why not just send you to the bridal chamber right away?" Tang Honghe remarked with a meaningful click of his tongue.

Shen Dang gave him a look, his expression noble and detached, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Honghe grinned widely, "Brother Dang, when do you and Sister-in-law plan to hold your wedding?"

Lately, many people had asked him about it.

They all knew Qiao Xi’s movie had wrapped up filming.

They thought it was time to get that arranged.

As for this matter, he was more anxious than anyone else, but what use was hurry?

"Definitely earlier than you," Shen Dang said lazily.

"I’m not competing with you on this, I know you’ll be before me, but isn’t there supposed to be a date?"

Qu Jiashu laughed softly, "During the National Day holiday, many people get married, I’ve received several invitations already, and it’s a peak season for weddings all the way till before the Spring Festival. Tang Honghe means are you going to have a wedding this year."

"Next year," Qiao Xi said with a cool face and a smile, "Don’t rush, neither Shen Dang nor I am."

Everyone around them kept asking about their wedding, leading Qiao Xi to the illusion that her and Shen Dang’s wedding was imminent.

You may not be in a hurry, but Brother Dang is!

Shen Dang kept his thoughts to himself, and Tang Honghe sneakily glanced at him, choosing not to voice this thought out loud.

So as not to continue on this topic, Qiao Xi asked seemingly inadvertently, "Jiashu, how come I haven’t seen your wife?"

"She’s resting at home."

"Is it because the baby’s due soon?"

"The due date is next month."

"Suddenly, I feel like time flies so fast."

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but express her feelings.

Nowadays, those who are getting married and having children do so, and even those who should be dating have started dating.

Everyone is moving forward and then living another life.

Life is spent trying new things.

The road ahead is long and far, it’s best to face the future with equanimity.

"Isn’t that the truth," Tang Honghe picked up her sentiment, "In a blink of an eye, Sister-in-law, you and Brother Dang are about to have your wedding ceremony."

Qiao Xi: "...Then when do you and Qu Keke plan to?"

Qu Keke sharply raised her gaze, "Why drag us into it? I’m still young, several years younger than all of you, why should I hurry?"

The few who were implied: "..."

Tang Honghe agreed with her calmly, "Right, we’re not in a hurry, dating is nice."

Qu Keke glanced at him, "I agree on that point."

Qu Jiashu frowned, "Dating can’t last forever."

Qu Keke was speechless for a moment, "Brother, that’s just being prudish, let’s have a longer-term perspective, a bigger picture."

"How so? Spell it out for me," he immediately straightened his face, growing serious.

Qu Keke quickly abandoned her casual attitude, "I didn’t say I’d be dating Tang Honghe forever, but we haven’t had enough of dating for now, don’t be like some old fuddy-duddy, pushing us to get the marriage certificate within the next year or two."
