Chapter 1015: She Finally Scrammed

Two days later—thanks to Cai Xiaotang's "unremitting" efforts, Luo Wanwan's new home was packed up at almost the fastest speed possible, and she no longer had any reason to continue staying.

Early in the morning—the sound of suitcases sliding across the hallway floor screeched and scraped, seemingly carrying a hint of reluctance.

In the bedroom, Cai Xiaotang opened her eyes the instant she heard the sound and sat straight up in bed!

It was rare for her to wake up earlier than Li Xiao.

The person who usually woke up a step earlier was still asleep at this moment, his hand domineeringly draped over Cai Xiaotang's waist, full of possessiveness.

Cai Xiaotang held her breath and carefully moved Li Xiao's hand away.

Seeing that he didn't have much of a reaction, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, then tiptoed out of bed without making a single sound.

The person on the bed remained quiet throughout, appearing to be in a deep sleep.

Cai Xiaotang walked on tiptoe all the way to the bedroom door, and only after pulling the door open and stepping out did she let out a fierce sigh of relief.

Escape successful!

She triumphantly glanced back in the direction of the bedroom, then continued to lighten her footsteps as she walked toward the edge of the stairs, and then—squatted down in front of the gap where she could see the living room downstairs.

The sound of things sliding across the floor was still ringing out, but it was getting further and further away.

Until Luo Wanwan's figure appeared downstairs.

Laoqi and the others had already been waiting there, and seeing this, they stepped forward to take the suitcases from her hands.

"Let's go, Wanwan, Asura and the Madam should still be resting."

Laoqi said.

"Mm."

Luo Wanwan nodded lightly, and just as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked back toward the upstairs with lingering attachment!

Cai Xiaotang instantly hid her figure, but she didn't miss the expression Luo Wanwan had just revealed, and couldn't help but pout.

Still feeling attached, huh...

Li Xiao had personally arranged the car last night; no matter how stupid Luo Wanwan was, she should understand that Li Xiao also felt she shouldn't continue living here and was rejecting her, right?

Come to think of it, Li Xiao's recent performance has been quite good... he really knows how to keep his distance...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard the group walking out together and hurriedly peeked toward the living room again; sure enough, she saw Luo Wanwan had already walked out the front door with the others.

"Phew..."

She let out a breath, looking completely relaxed.

Finally gone...

From now on, things can finally be peaceful for a while!

The next second—"What are you looking at?"

A familiar voice rang out by her ear.

Cai Xiaotang answered without thinking: "What else could I be looking at? Of course, I'm looking at..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she froze in place.

She paused for several seconds, then slowly turned her head as if in slow motion, smiling somewhat awkwardly at Li Xiao.

"Hehe... you... you're up..."

Cai Xiaotang stood up, feeling a bit fortunate that they had already left.

Otherwise, if Li Xiao knew she was here peeking at a love rival leaving, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Li Xiao smiled without a word.

He was more than just "up"; he had already been awake when someone was sneaking around trying to slip away.

He hadn't made a sound, just wanting to see what kind of mischief she was up to.

He just didn't expect her to be here...

Li Xiao shook his head with amusement, and seeing Cai Xiaotang looking happy but forcibly trying to hold it in, he simply stated it outright: "Isn't it just to see a love rival off? If you want to laugh, just laugh; you don't have to hold it in so hard."

"

"Cough!"

Cai Xiaotang nearly choked on the words "see a love rival off," and upon hearing this, she immediately glared at Li Xiao in annoyance.

"Who's seeing anyone off? I was just looking... I was woken up and just took a look! Going back to sleep!"

As she spoke, she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened and turned to leave.

The next second—"Hey! What are you doing!"

Cai Xiaotang's feet suddenly left the ground as she was swept up into a bridal carry by Li Xiao from behind!

Within a few seconds, the two were back in the bedroom.

The warm bedding still radiated the heat from when they had been embracing just moments ago.

Li Xiao took the opportunity to pull the quilt up, covering them both inside, and wrapped his arms tightly around Cai Xiaotang, deliberately biting her ear with his teeth.

"Going back to sleep, are you? I'll coax you to sleep..."

"Li Xiao! You're doing it again!"

Cai Xiaotang's bristling voice rang out, and the previously smooth quilt was instantly rumpled into a mess, only to be quickly "suppressed."

Small movements and useless "protests" continued to come from the room.

How exactly this "coaxing to sleep" worked, only Cai Xiaotang knew.

Elsewhere—inside a mid-range apartment complex.

Lao Wu carried all of Luo Wanwan's few belongings upstairs in one go.

"Brother Wu, thank you, I can tidy up the rest myself."

"

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Wanwan thanked Lao Wu, who had come along with her.

She did not have many belongings, so only Lao Wu had come.

"No need for thanks."

Lao Wu waved his hand, scanned the room, and immediately saw some new furniture scattered about, just placed randomly in the empty living room and not in their proper positions, so he immediately offered.

"Let me help you tidy up a bit more; as a girl, it's strenuous for you to move these pieces of furniture."

"No..."

Luo Wanwan instinctively wanted to refuse.

But Lao Wu walked straight over and began to move a table.

Luo Wanwan had no choice but to swallow her words and go forward to help him.

The two of them busied themselves for two hours before finally getting all the furniture placed in its proper position.

The room had also become much tidier.

"Brother Wu, this is fine, no need to tidy up anymore."

Luo Wanwan spoke up again.

"Hmm, it is about right..."

Lao Wu nodded, took out his phone to check the time, and glanced toward the doorway, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

In a little while, it would be time for lunch...

He wondered...

Would Wanwan ask him to stay?

Or perhaps...

Anyway, there was nothing to do today, and it was rare for just the two of them to be alone; could he ask Wanwan out to eat and chat about the events of these past years?

Lao Wu's expression was hesitant, and for a moment, he could not make up his mind.

Then he heard—"Brother Wu?"

Luo Wanwan's voice, filled with some confusion, sounded again.

Lao Wu snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "Ah... then you go ahead and get busy; there is still luggage to unpack later, so I won't disturb you anymore and will head back first."

"Okay."

Luo Wanwan nodded, and as expected, she did not ask him to stay.

Lao Wu had no choice but to say nothing more and turned to leave by himself.

Until he walked out.

He closed the door behind him, but when the door was left with only a small crack, he suddenly hesitated for a moment.

Should he really just leave like this...

What if he tried to ask Wanwan to have lunch together?

Would she discover anything?

If she discovered the feelings he had held for all these years, would he even be able to be her Brother Wu in the future?

Lao Wu's knuckles, gripping the edge of the door, turned white.

It was clearly the simplest of decisions.

Yet he stood at the doorway for several minutes without being able to make up his mind.

The next second—a cell phone ringtone suddenly drifted out from the room.
