Chapter 515: Chapter 515

[Xi Bao is so awesome haha.]

[Oh my, can the goddess not be so cute?]

[Three nominations, three awards won, "Twin Sisters" is freaking awesome!]

[I’m moved to tears!]

"Twin Sisters" completely shook the entertainment and performing arts circles with three trophies.

Weibo’s trending topics were all about Qiao Xi, Su Tutu, and Xie Baola.

Over the years since Qiao Xi entered the circle, she had been diligently acting, from receiving a myriad of award nominations to becoming the Best Actress at the Hai City Film Festival from Warner nominations to winning the Best Actress at the Golden Statue Awards. She delivered a perfect answer sheet to her fans who had always followed and adored her, as well as to her film career.

The live broadcast was synchronized to the Mainland.

As soon as the news came out online, Wang Li had his team pay attention to the online sentiment to prevent any haters from taking advantage of the chaos.

Of course, she also started receiving countless phone calls, all from various major brands looking to collaborate with Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi’s market value was on the rise, and various brands were setting their sights on her.

After the film festival,

Qiao Xi and Shen Dang returned to the hotel.

She changed out of her gown.

The zipper was at the back, and she didn’t know if it was stuck, but Qiao Xi fumbled with it for a while and couldn’t pull it down, so she had to call Shen Dang for help.

Boss Shen was sitting on the living room sofa playing with his phone when he heard her and looked up towards the room.

Qiao Xi poked her head out, adorable as ever.

Shen Dang stood up and walked toward the room as he asked.

As soon as Qiao Xi saw him come in, she said, "Can you help me with this zipper?"

Was his wife seducing him?

Shen Dang raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Qiao Xi frowned, looking somewhat distressed, "I can’t pull this zipper down."

His tone carried an indescribable disappointment.

Qiao Xi felt that his tone was off and turned to look at him, "What’s with that tone?"

Shen Dang spoke lazily, "What do you think?"

"...I don’t understand."

Whatever it meant, it was definitely not simple, in her view.

Qiao Xi urged him, "Hurry up and help me take it off, I need to change clothes, wearing this gown is too uncomfortable."

Shen Dang’s fingertips brushed over her shoulder blades, and with a faint sound from the zipper, Qiao Xi’s gown, worth millions, then piled on the floor.

Her body had beautiful lines, a thin back, skin white as snow, and not a single excess of fat, yet it was all so evenly distributed.

Shen Dang’s eyes deepened.

Even though Qiao Xi wasn’t looking at him, she could feel the burning gaze he had on her.

Qiao Xi quickly put on her original dress.

That fiery gaze disappeared.

Qiao Xi turned around and saw that Shen Dang’s gaze was still fixed on her face, just no longer as heated.

She headed towards the bathroom, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Dang lazily followed her, footsteps dragging, "Pretty."

Two words as rightly expected.

Qiao Xi’s makeup tonight was heavy, very exquisite, and she was now removing it.

Shen Dang leaned lazily against the bathroom door, "Today is Christmas."

"Is it? What a coincidence."

Qiao Xi had been so busy she hadn’t even realized what holiday it was.

"Shall we go out for a stroll?"

"It’s very cold outside."

"Hong Kong has fun places and good food to try, don’t you want to explore a bit?"

Qiao Xi countered, "From what you said, have you been to Hong Kong before for fun?"

His eyes had not left her the entire time, and as Qiao Xi finished removing her makeup and met his gaze, his dark pupils seemed affectionate and deep.

Qiao Xi then heard Shen Dang say, "I’ve been here before for work, but didn’t really explore. Now I just want to stroll around with my wife."

They didn’t organize any celebratory party tonight; Xie Baola said she didn’t want to be a third wheel for the two couples, so they skipped it.

"If you think it’s cold, we can just walk around a bit and come back."

"Let’s see about walking. I’m hungry right now."

"Let’s eat first then?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes curved in a smile.

Being with him, everything felt good.

Before they left, Shen Dang found a scarf and a hat for Qiao Xi, and the couple held hands as they stepped out.

In Hong Kong, celebrities weren’t held on such high pedestals, and they didn’t wear masks when they went out. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

Shen Dang drove first to a restaurant for dinner.

The two sat in a revolving restaurant high above, able to see the brilliant lights of most of Hong Kong.

Shen Dang ordered, while Qiao Xi replied to messages from friends on WeChat.

Tonight, the news of Qiao Xi winning the Movie Queen had been released, and friends from both inside and outside the circle congratulated her.

Even Old Master Shen and Ran Jing were paying attention to this event.

Both were straightforward and directly transferred red packets to Qiao Xi.

[Mom: Xixi, my dear daughter-in-law, you were so beautiful tonight and even won an award! I’m so proud of you!]

Old Master Shen sent a voice message: "Xixi, I watched the live broadcast. It’s rare for you to visit Hong Kong, stay and play there for a few days before you come to see Grandpa."

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

She looked up at the man across from her, "Mom and Grandpa messaged me. Did they send you any?"

Shen Dang kept his gaze steady on her, "No."

Qiao Xi smiled with a lip quirk, "They even sent me red packets."

Her smile carried a slight smugness.

Shen Dang loved every adorable expression she showed, always different from her usual personality.

"Hmm, then you should collect the red packets since they have plenty of money."

Shen Dang’s lips also carried a smile.

"That’s one way to put it."

Qiao Xi collected two generous red packets and politely thanked the two elders.

Seeing her full of smiles, Shen Dang jealously said, "Since having you, Grandpa and Mom don’t love me anymore."

Qiao Xi’s smile was radiant, "I love you, that’s all that matters."

Shen Dang’s family was her family too; they were one family.

From now on, she would have the love of family.

She would never feel lonely at night because she had lost her kinship in the past.

Hearing Qiao Xi so smoothly say "I love you," Shen Dang’s heartstrings trembled, causing an intense reaction within his body.

It was warm, and somehow moist, an odd reaction that made his heart burn up.

Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, his voice husky, "What did you just say?"

Qiao Xi looked puzzled, "Say what?"

Shen Dang’s voice seemed calm yet not, deeper, "The sentence you just said."

"I said I love you, that’s all that matters."

Qiao Xi naturally spoke.

Shen Dang slightly raised an eyebrow, his black eyes, as if hiding the whole sea of stars, peacefully permeated into Qiao Xi’s life.

He earnestly said, "Then you better love me well."

Qiao Xi’s heartbeat inexplicably became erratic.

She was also involuntarily drawn in by Shen Dang’s gaze.

That bewitching look was like a deep abyss, poised to draw Qiao Xi in.
