Chapter 217: Another Person from the Li Family

That must be him!

Cai Xiaotang chuckled to herself and immediately strode over.

"Here for a blind date?"

She sat down on the chair in a slovenly manner and crossed her legs directly.

"Miss..."

The waiter also followed over, unable to figure out what she was trying to do with this posture.

"Tsk, I have a reservation. This man has been waiting for me, can't you tell?"

Cai Xiaotang deliberately raised her eyebrows at the man opposite her with impatience.

Li Xiao was a bit surprised; a look of amusement flashed in his eyes, then he curled his lips into a smile and said to the waiter, "This lady is indeed the person I am meeting. Serve the food."

"Yes." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to leave.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had already been quietly sizing up Li Xiao for a long time.

Why did she feel that this person looked a bit familiar...

As if she had seen him somewhere before...

She pondered to herself, then immediately sat down.

"I am Cai Xiaotang, what should I call you?"

Cai Xiaotang sat without any decorum, asking in a devil-may-care manner, while her eyes quickly scanned Li Xiao from head to toe, nodding with satisfaction in her heart.

He is actually quite handsome...

It seems my brother really put in some effort this time!

It's just a pity that she has no interest in dating right now!

Li Xiao was also sizing up Cai Xiaotang, and seeing her deliberately strike a pose of sitting without any decorum, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This sitting posture... is she deliberately trying to leave a bad impression on him?

This eldest daughter of the Mu Family... if she wants to play, he will play along with her slowly...

A trace of subtle amusement flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and then he smiled and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, Xiao Tang, I am Li Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's expression stiffened, and a trace of disgust quickly flashed in her eyes.

Xiao what Tang!

Is she even close with him?

Calling her so intimately right off the bat!

Frivolous!

Cai Xiaotang was complaining in her heart, but then she suddenly thought of something, snapped back to reality, and subconsciously asked in return: "Your surname is Li? Then Li Beijue and you..."

"You know Beijue?" Li Xiao raised an eyebrow in surprise, then answered unhurriedly: "That is quite a coincidence, I am his uncle."

"Uncle..." Cai Xiaotang muttered these two words softly, unable to help but size up the Li Xiao opposite her a few more times.

Since he is his uncle...

Then if she were to be with him, and if Baobao and Li Beijue hadn't divorced back then, wouldn't she have become Baobao's aunt!

This is too terrifying!

And since he is an uncle, his age must not be young either!

It's just that he is well-maintained now, so it's not obvious... she has no interest in an old man!

No!

She must make him "retreat in the face of difficulties"!

Cai Xiaotang complained rapidly in her heart, pondered for two seconds, simply found a random topic, and asked with deliberate and extreme rudeness: "People from the Li Family also come on blind dates? Is no one willing to have you?"

Li Xiao did not expect her to ask so directly, and the amusement in his eyes immediately deepened.

If this question were asked to any other man, he probably would have been unable to stand it and left long ago.

But...

He just doesn't want her to get her way!

Li Xiao pondered for two seconds, then deliberately sighed and said: "I came because I haven't found a suitable person to marry, and I've been pressured a bit too tightly by my family."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, suddenly feeling a bit of secret joy in her heart.

Isn't the opportunity here now?

As long as she keeps attacking him on the point of his old age, she doesn't believe he can still sit still!

"No suitable partner, is it because you are too old? This uncle." Cai Xiaotang thought, asking loudly with a mocking tone.

Li Xiao's hand, which was just about to pick up the coffee, paused abruptly, but he was not annoyed; the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

This eldest daughter of the Mu Family... is she a bit too childish...

Does she think he would be provoked by such a tactic?

That's too amateurish!

Li Xiao took a sip of coffee calmly, seemingly completely unaffected by the previous words.

A trace of confusion flashed in Cai Xiaotang's eyes.

Why does this guy have no reaction?

Logically speaking, shouldn't he be angry by now?

If he encountered someone as ill-mannered as her, he might even retort directly...

Why is he...

Cai Xiaotang was full of confusion, and seeing that he didn't answer, she simply continued to add fuel to the fire: "Why aren't you saying anything? Although it might be impolite to say this, I really have no interest in older men, you..."

She deliberately pretended to hesitate and looked Li Xiao up and down, then added more fuel to the fire: "Rounding up your age, you should be over forty, right?"

The atmosphere suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth, but the smile at the corners of his mouth did not disappear; instead, it grew even more pronounced.

Over forty?

Did he look that old?

Li Xiao smiled indifferently and replied, "Miss Cai, I am only just thirty-two years old this year."

"Oh... thirty-two, huh..." Cai Xiaotang nodded casually.

Thirty-two is also very old!

That is already a middle-aged old man!

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself, then said with infuriating bluntness, "If it's thirty-two, if you round it up, isn't that approximately forty? Sorry, I'm only in my early twenties; our age gap is too large, I'm afraid..."

Cai Xiaotang smiled at him, with the word 'rejection' written all over her face.

After finishing, she deliberately added, "Sorry, I'm just a rather blunt person; you won't be angry, will you?"

She wore an expression that said, "I talk like this, what are you going to do about it?", while she couldn't help but hum a tune in her heart.

It seemed this blind date was about to end, how wonderful!

However...

Li Xiao took in her smug expression, his look instantly becoming even more intrigued.

Angry?

Of course he wouldn't be angry.

As for this blind date today... it was still too early to say who the final winner would be!

Li Xiao set down his cup and suddenly laughed out loud.

Cai Xiaotang was slightly stunned; looking at his expression, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in her heart.

What is he laughing at?

Is his temper really that good?

He can still sit there calmly like this?

Just as she was thinking this—

She heard Li Xiao say unhurriedly, "Of course I won't be angry, Xiao Tang. You make me feel... very genuine. Girls as direct as you are rare nowadays; I appreciate it, and I am quite satisfied with you!"

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Damn it, is there something wrong with you?

She was acting like this, which was clearly just being ill-mannered!

What does that have to do with being genuine!

Appreciate what, for heaven's sake!

Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes in her heart, speechless.

Just at this moment—

"Here are the dishes you two ordered."

The waiter's voice suddenly rang out, placing two carefully prepared steaks and other meal items on the table.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instantly had another idea...
