Chapter 1046: Any Regrets?

Neither of the two spoke, standing where they were as they watched the couple walk away.

Not until their figures were about to disappear did Cai Xiaotang, as if suddenly waking from a dream, pull Li Xiao along and chase after them!

"Xiao Tang?"

Li Xiao was somewhat surprised, yet his feet followed her forward.

Cai Xiaotang spoke at a rapid pace: "It was so hard to run into them, do you know that your expression just now made it look like you really wanted to go up and talk to him?"

Li Xiao's brows tightened, and he did not answer.

He had indeed harbored such thoughts just now, but...

Back then, he had already made up his mind not to disturb his life anymore.

Being able to run into him here again and seeing that he was living well now, with his own wife and child, the guilt in his heart could be soothed somewhat.

There was no need to go up and disturb him again.

Li Xiao was thinking this and was about to open his mouth to refuse, when he felt Cai Xiaotang suddenly stop again.

"Boss, I'll take one of these."

Cai Xiaotang pointed at the small stall in front of her, looking as if she intended to keep eating.

This time, the one who was confused was Li Xiao.

"You..."

He looked at Cai Xiaotang, not quite understanding what she wanted to do.

Cai Xiaotang, however, looked at him unhurriedly, then said in a measured tone: "What? Did you think I was going to drag you over to talk to him? Am I that lacking in social awareness?"

Li Xiao paused slightly, suddenly understanding what she wanted to do, and a hint of a smile could not help but surface in his eyes.

Immediately after, he heard Cai Xiaotang explain as expected: "Whether you talk to him or not is your own decision; anyway, we're just here to stroll through the market. He's a tourist, and you're a tourist too—it's not against the law for tourists to look at each other a few extra times, right?"

As she spoke, she looked back once more in the direction the couple had left.

Li Xiao followed her gaze and looked over as well.

Sure enough, they had already appeared within their line of sight again, lingering at a small stall not far ahead.

"Hey, tell me, is it possible he noticed you?"

Cai Xiaotang asked suddenly.

"I don't know either."

Li Xiao shook his head lightly, his tone calm.

If he really had noticed, it wouldn't have been a bad thing to go up and say hello.

If he hadn't noticed, seeing that the other party's life was peaceful now, he had nothing to regret.

Cai Xiaotang did not press further, leaving the time for reflection to Li Xiao.

After buying their food, the two continued walking forward hand in hand, chatting while watching the man in the distance who was holding his daughter in his arms the entire time.

Until they reached the end of the market.

The other party also went to a car by the side of the road.

The man kissed his daughter on her little cheek before handing her into his wife's arms and turning to get into the car.

From beginning to end, he never looked back.

Nor did he discover that he had already been noticed for quite a while.

Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao stopped at the exit of the market, watching that car drive away.

After a long while—Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but ask: "Not going up to say hello... do you have any regrets?"

"No."

Li Xiao answered without hesitation.

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the person beside him with a doting expression.

His former friend already had a brand-new life.

He did too.

The person he was willing to cherish for a lifetime was right here before his eyes.

As he thought this, his gaze suddenly shifted slowly downward, landing on the ice cream Cai Xiaotang had just bought.

Cai Xiaotang seemed to still be immersed in the emotions from just a moment ago, frowning slightly as she stared in the direction the family of three had left, looking a little bit sad.

The next second—she suddenly felt her hand sink abruptly!

Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly looked down to check the ice cream in her hand.

Then she saw that the top of the ice cream, which had been piled high, along with the fruit decorating it, had already disappeared!

Looking at Li Xiao, he had already darted several steps away, wearing an incredibly punchable smile.

"Li Xiao!!! You owe me an ice cream!!!"

Cai Xiaotang roared as she lunged at him.

Yet the corners of her lips could not be controlled from curling high upward.

This guy!!

He bullies her as soon as he's in a good mood!!

Another half month passed—Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang finally ended their trip and returned to the country.

Li Laoyezi had been calling frequently lately to ask when they would be back, so as soon as they got off the plane, the two went straight back to the Old Residence, intending to stay there for a few days first.

As soon as they entered the door, Cai Xiaotang was rushed by the three little ones, who gave her a big bear hug!

"Godmother! Did you have a fun time playing outside?"

Tiantian shook Cai Xiaotang's hand while looking at her with a face full of curiosity.

"Of course I'm happy!"

Cai Xiaotang flicked her little nose, and as she spoke, she hurriedly grabbed a bag from the side.

"Godmother brought you gifts, too! Go on and see if you like them!!!"

"Wow! Gifts!"

"Thank you, Godmother!"

The three little ones cheered immediately, happily taking the things out of the bag.

Watching how happy they were, Cai Xiaotang started to smile along with them.

Yet she suddenly felt a bit exhausted and couldn't help but let out a big yawn.

"Still haven't slept enough?"

Seeing that she still seemed a bit tired, Li Xiao asked with concern, "Why don't you go back upstairs and sleep for a while? Dad is going to a friend's house, so it should be a while before he gets back."

"That works too, then you play with them for a while."

Cai Xiaotang did indeed feel inexplicably sleepy, so she stood up.

After saying a few more words to the three little ones, she turned and headed upstairs, walking in the direction of the bedroom.

Along the way, she yawned two or three more times, to the point where tears were almost streaming down.

"What's going on... I clearly slept the whole way on the plane..."

"

She muttered to herself in a low voice, and as soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help but flop onto the bed.

Yet out of habit, she wanted to play on her phone for a bit before resting.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she picked it up and opened it, the app she usually watched pushed a news notification!

【Qin Clan President in intimate contact with a hot young model at a cocktail party! Suspected of keeping a mistress?】

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned in disgust.

What kind of messy gossip is this?

In those high-society circles, aren't there plenty of cases of keeping mistresses? Is this even worth reporting?

She thought this, and just as she was about to casually close it, her fingertip suddenly paused abruptly.

Wait a minute...

Qin Clan?

Could it be Xin'ai's husband, that Qin Yiyan!!!

Suddenly thinking of something, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly clicked on the news.

Immediately following—what met her eyes was an incredibly clear photo!

The environment in the photo was indeed at a cocktail party, and the people in the frame were none other than Qin Yiyan, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, embracing a woman with a curvaceous figure.

It looked as if the woman couldn't handle her liquor and had fallen into his arms!

"Damn..."

Cai Xiaotang stared at it for a few seconds, unable to help but feel a surge of anger.

This Qin Yiyan looks decent enough, so why doesn't he act like a decent human being!

!

Xin'ai is so outstanding; it's one thing that he doesn't cherish her properly, but he's actually messing around with a woman like this?
