Chapter 375: Finding Something for My Woman to Do

The atmosphere grew increasingly quiet, which only served to make the faint smell of blood inside the car more pronounced.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but glance at Li Xiao beside her a few more times, and only then did she suddenly notice that there was a spot on the sleeve of his dark suit that seemed deeper in color than the rest, as if it had been soaked through; the unusual metallic scent also seemed to be emanating from there.

"You... are you hurt?"

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't hold back, and asked with a hesitant tone.

"Hmm?" Li Xiao responded indifferently, as if he hadn't understood what she said, then looked down at himself and suddenly realized, feigning surprise as he said, "When did I get a wound here? It must have been from when you hit me with that baseball bat just now!"

"How is that possible!" Cai Xiaotang looked at the person in front of her, speechless: "My baseball bat doesn't have any barbs! How could it possibly hit you until you bled!"

"Ha, looks like I didn't fool you..." Li Xiao shook his head with amusement upon hearing this, and then explained nonchalantly: "Just a small injury, it had already healed, maybe it just split open again by accident just now..."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Split open by accident?

It was clearly her baseball bat that had knocked it open...

Cai Xiaotang inexplicably felt a bit guilty; she pondered for two seconds, but the apology was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it no matter what, so she simply turned her head to look out the window.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa.

As soon as Cai Xiaotang got out of the car, her gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Xiao's arm again, only to see that the dark mark had deepened significantly more than before.

"Your arm..."

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but speak up.

Li Xiao's gaze immediately drifted over, looking at her with a composed expression.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of anger, but she continued anyway: "Let me help you apply medicine, is there a first-aid kit?"

"You're helping me?" Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, seemingly doubting the feasibility of this statement.

Cai Xiaotang immediately felt even more annoyed: "What kind of look is that! Don't you trust my skills!"

"Cough..." Li Xiao gave a noncommittal cough.

Cai Xiaotang snorted coldly, walked into the villa without looking back, and quickly had the housekeeper find a first-aid kit.

"Sit down!"

Cai Xiaotang held the first-aid kit and pointed fiercely at the sofa.

"Is this your attitude toward taking care of a wounded person?" Li Xiao raised his eyebrows with amusement.

Seeing this, the two subordinates beside Li Xiao couldn't help but stifle their laughter.

Cai Xiaotang's tone was even fiercer: "Sit down quickly! Where do you get all this nonsense!"

Li Xiao had no choice but to sit on the sofa as she said, and casually took off his suit jacket.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang see the condition of his wound, and she couldn't help but gasp.

The light-colored shirt was already stained red over a large area; just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

"Third Young Master, we should still ask a Doctor to come and take a look..."

One of the subordinates couldn't help but frown and speak up.

Unless they were alone, no one in the villa would call Li Xiao by his code name.

"No need."

Li Xiao refused without a second thought, his hands moving quickly to unbutton his shirt, revealing a chest with well-defined, yet not overly muscular, lines.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously took a quick glance, and couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.

You really couldn't tell... this old man actually has a pretty good physique...

It's a bit close to what those celebrity-obsessed sisters on Weibo say: "looks thin in clothes, but has muscle when stripped"...

"If you want to look, you can look openly; no need to be sneaky."

Li Xiao's voice, filled with a smile, rang in her ear, abruptly pulling back Cai Xiaotang's thoughts.

"Who's sneaking a peek at you! Narcissist! The pork ribs at the wet market are more worth looking at than you!" Cai Xiaotang retorted insincerely, and while speaking, she casually took out the iodine and cotton swabs for disinfection.

The wound on Li Xiao's arm had originally scabbed over, but now it had split open again, making the injury seem somewhat serious.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, carefully raised the cotton swab in her hand, and brought it close to his wound.

"If it hurts, just yell it out, I won't make fun of you!"

Cai Xiaotang's words remained fierce, but her movements were incredibly gentle.

Li Xiao's brows furrowed slightly; the sharp pain from the wound on his arm was intense, yet he didn't make a single sound.

Cai Xiaotang quickly cleaned his wound, only to discover that it was a very obvious knife wound.

She was slightly stunned, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.

Li Xiao... what exactly does he do?

Is he really just one of those gangsters who only knows how to fight and kill every day?

Or something else...

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she pondered for a long time, but couldn't find an answer for the time being.

Forget it!

Curiosity killed the cat!

Why think about that!

Right now, it's more important to save her own life and pray that this guy solves his trouble quickly!

Cai Xiaotang quickly finished treating Li Xiao's wound, only to discover that there were some small wounds on other parts of his body as well.

This guy is really...

Cai Xiaotang simply couldn't find a suitable adjective to complain, so she quickly applied medicine to him, bandaged him up again, and then stood up.

"Alright, I shouldn't need to say much about the precautions; if there's nothing else, I'm going upstairs to rest."

Too many things had happened tonight, and Cai Xiaotang had long since felt exhausted; she threw out one sentence and turned to leave without looking back.

Li Xiao put on his clothes unhurriedly, but Cai Xiaotang had long since run off without a trace.

In the vast living room, only he and his two subordinates remained.

"Shura..."

One of them spoke up suddenly in a low voice.

Li Xiao lifted his eyes indifferently.

That person hesitated for two seconds before continuing: "Regarding Miss Cai, do we still need to strengthen the protection?"

Li Xiao frowned slightly and did not speak.

He deliberated for a moment before saying in a low voice: "Not for now. After today, she shouldn't run back to her little house so easily again; just keep the security in the villa as it is."

"Yes." The two people nodded and answered immediately.

Li Xiao gave a few more instructions before getting up to leave; as he was leaving, he couldn't help but glance at his arm with amusement.

There, tied in place, was a playful and cute bow.

The next day—

Cai Xiaotang opened her eyes and saw the ceiling she had become familiar with over the past few days, her expression immediately turning helpless.

She had thought the vacation time would be great...

But the result was that she was now bored to death!

And she was still trapped in this boring villa...

Jiang Baobao had also been busy as hell these past few days... with no time to come out for a meal...

"SO! BOR! ING!"

Cai Xiaotang let out a loud shout and sat up from the bed.

Who would have thought that as soon as the words left her mouth, she would hear a familiar and annoying voice ring out from outside the room: "If you're bored, shall I find something for you to do?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this; she turned around in an instant, jumped off the bed, and pulled open the bedroom door at high speed.
