Chapter 424: He Seems to Have Fallen in Love

~7 min read 1,312 words

"What are you laughing at? Was what I just said very funny?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at Li Xiao with displeasure.

Li Xiao hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just think the way you looked so serious just now is very cute."

After he finished speaking, both of them were stunned for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang was instantly dumbfounded, simply doubting whether she had misheard something just now.

Li Xiao's expression also became somewhat subtle; he hadn't expected that he would just blurt out what he was thinking.

Complimenting a woman as cute?

And... not to cope with the situation, but sincere?

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, lost in thought.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent.

Outside the room door, two subordinates saw the situation inside the room through the small window on the door and couldn't help but reveal thoughtful expressions.

"What's the situation inside?"

The person standing in the hallway couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The person by the door immediately had an inscrutable look: "Hard to say, Shura is feeding Miss Cai, and it seems like he looks quite happy..."

After speaking, the few of them subconsciously exchanged glances, the tacit understanding in their eyes known only to each other.

How do they feel... that Shura seems to be dating Miss Cai?

Inside the room—

It was so quiet that only the soft ticking of the clock remained.

Cai Xiaotang silently counted thirty ticks of the second hand in her heart, finally remembered something like a flash of lightning, and suddenly asked loudly: "Right! Where is my phone!"

"Beside you." Li Xiao came back to his senses and pointed to her pillow.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang turn around, grab the phone, and mutter: "I haven't sent a message to Baobao to say I've arrived home yet, she will be worried..."

As she spoke, she opened the chat app and sure enough saw that the last few unread messages were all sent by Jiang Baobao.

【I accidentally fell asleep, I've already arrived home!】

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly replied, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao was with the three little ones in Li Beijue's villa.

The three of them were clamoring to come here to watch the huge home projector, so with no other choice, Jiang Baobao had to accompany them here.

Hearing her phone ring, she hurriedly picked it up to take a look.

Seeing that it was a message from Cai Xiaotang, who had disappeared for the whole night, she was just about to reply when she suddenly heard Mobai speak from the side: "Mommy! Let's go to the aquarium this weekend!"

"Aquarium?" Jiang Baobao looked up in surprise and saw that the little ones were watching a cartoon about the ocean, and she couldn't help but feel amused.

She thought about the schedule for a moment and was just about to agree when she heard Yanbao also speak up: "Daddy should go too!"

"Okay." Li Beijue, who was on the side, agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao, however, swallowed the answer that was on the tip of her tongue, and looking at the little ones all looking at her with anticipation, she understood in her heart.

Don't think she didn't know what Mobai and Yanbao were thinking!

It must be to get her and Li Beijue together again!

Tiantian, this little girl, isn't expressing her opinion now either... basically tacit approval...

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, and as she lowered her eyes, she suddenly saw her phone and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Alright, then let's go together."

She agreed, and deliberately shook her phone while speaking: "Mommy will ask Godmother to go with us, okay? We haven't gone out to play together for a long time!"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she quickly dialed Cai Xiaotang's number.

But it rang for a long time without anyone answering.

Jiang Baobao was somewhat puzzled, and seeing someone still staring at her covetously, she hurriedly bit the bullet and called again.

This time it was finally answered.

"Hello? Baobao, what's the matter?" Cai Xiaotang's voice was mixed with a trace of panic.

Jiang Baobao heard that her tone was wrong, frowned instantly, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Tang, what are you doing? Did I... disturb you with something?"

"Nothing, I..."

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly replied, but halfway through, she saw that she was in a hospital room and didn't know how to explain, so she had to ask back: "What do you want me for?"

Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it and said: "Nothing much, just wanted to ask if you have time this weekend. Mobai and the others want to go to the aquarium, and I wanted to see if you want to go together..."

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang looked at her bandaged hand and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Of course she wanted to go!

But the wound definitely wouldn't recover by the weekend...

Cai Xiaotang was somewhat depressed and glared at Li Xiao beside her with annoyance.

Li Xiao:...?

Where did he provoke her again?

Cai Xiaotang withdrew her gaze, wanting to refuse with regret, when the next second—

The door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.

A nurse pushed a cart in, and as soon as she entered, she said: "Miss Cai, in order to prevent your wound from becoming inflamed, we need to... before you sleep."

"Shh!"

Cai Xiaotang was terrified and hurriedly signaled her not to make a sound!

But it was already too late.

Jiang Baobao heard everything clearly on the other end of the phone and asked nervously in an instant: "Are you hurt? Was that a Doctor speaking just now? What do you mean by wound inflammation? What exactly is going on? Aren't you at home?"

She asked five questions in a row, leaving Cai Xiaotang stunned.

Cai Xiaotang knew she couldn't deceive Jiang Baobao, so she sighed helplessly and said: "I... did suffer a minor injury, but it's not a big problem..."

"Are you in the Hospital?" Jiang Baobao asked sharply, seizing on the key point.

Cai Xiaotang helplessly clutched her forehead and answered in a low voice: "Probably... maybe... I have to... stay for a few days..."

"And you still say it's not a big problem?"

Jiang Baobao was momentarily speechless: "You rest in the Hospital first, send me the address in a while, and I'll go see you tomorrow!"

Her tone was beyond reproach, as serious as when she usually disciplined the disobedient little devil Mobai.

Cai Xiaotang answered obediently in an instant: "Oh, I see..."

The two spoke for a few more sentences, and only then did Jiang Baobao hang up the phone.

Li Beijue asked hurriedly and puzzled: "What happened?"

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to explain briefly, and as she spoke, she stood up.

"Let the three of them watch cartoons here for now; I'll go back and stew some soup to bring to Xiao Tang tomorrow."

As she spoke, she turned and left.

Watching Jiang Baobao walk away, Yanbao suddenly asked: "Daddy, are you going to accompany Mommy tomorrow?"

Li Beijue agreed without hesitation: "Of course."

As soon as the words fell, he heard Mobai on the side mutter in a low voice: "Daddy, when will you be able to win Mommy back? Otherwise, let us help you come up with some ideas! Your speed is just too slow!"

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's mood suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Of course he wanted to win her back sooner too...

It was just that he had done so many wrong things in the past, so it was normal for her not to forgive him now...

Just as Li Beijue was thinking, he suddenly heard the little girl, who had been quiet for a long time, speak up: "Daddy, do you know what Mommy likes?"
