Chapter 456: Li Xiao, You Are Up to No Good

Cai Xiaotang inexplicably felt a bit annoyed, but she didn't say anything more.

The three of them went upstairs together.

Only then did Li Xiao speak again: "The room has already been arranged; it's right over there."

Cai Xiaotang looked in the direction Li Xiao was pointing, and her heart instantly sucked in a cold breath.

She saw that the room he had arranged for Jiang Baobao was not far from her own room.

This guy must be doing this on purpose!

Could it be that she still has to sleep in the same room as him tonight?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard Jiang Baobao say: "Alright, then I'm going to rest. You two should get some rest early as well."

"Baobao, goodnight..."

Cai Xiaotang said subconsciously, and immediately after, she saw her shoulder being gently nudged by someone.

She glanced speechlessly at Li Xiao beside her, and had no choice but to follow his movement, turning around and walking toward the room on the other side.

It was Li Xiao's own room.

The two of them opened the door and walked in together.

With a "click," the room door was closed, and the sound of a lock engaging followed.

Cai Xiaotang immediately looked terrified: "Why are you locking the door? I still have to go back to my room in a while!"

"Go back to your room?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow at her: "Have you forgotten what our relationship is in front of others?"

Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted, unconvinced: "Then I can go back later! Wouldn't it be fine if I don't make any noise? Why must I be with you! And why didn't you arrange Baobao's room on the second floor, not on the same level as us? Wouldn't that have been fine?"

Cai Xiaotang's thoughts were racing, and she highly suspected that the person in front of her was doing this on purpose.

Li Xiao, however, shook his head.

"Every room on the second floor is occupied. Did you forget that besides you and me, there are other people in this villa?"

Cai Xiaotang was choked by his words and was suddenly speechless.

That's true...

That person's underworld subordinates also need a place to sleep at night...

But...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was struggling with this, she heard the person conclude in an unquestionable tone: "Therefore, you can only stay honestly in my room tonight. This is the safest way; I don't want any possibility of trouble."

Li Xiao's tone was serious, not at all like he was joking.

It was not that he deliberately wanted to keep Cai Xiaotang in his room.

Rather, it was his habit to prevent any situation where an accident might occur.

Since the matter could be solved by the two of them staying in one room, why take the risk?

Li Xiao thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke again: "By the way, there is one more thing. You let Jiang Baobao come here directly today; you should have asked for my opinion first."

"Ah?" Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and asked back in confusion: "Can't she come?"

"It's not that."

Li Xiao's expression was somewhat helpless: "Not many people know about this villa of mine. I brought you here at the time to protect you, but now, it should be completely exposed, and Beijue already knows."

Cai Xiaotang hadn't expected it to be so serious. She pondered for two seconds and suddenly felt a bit guilty.

"Then... I'm sorry..."

She had always been one to take responsibility for her actions and apologized without any awkwardness.

Then, thinking of something else, she muttered in a low voice: "But... you only said before that your underworld business couldn't be known by others, you didn't say this place where you live couldn't be told to others..."

"I'm not blaming you; it was my own fault for not clarifying beforehand."

Seeing her awkward appearance, Li Xiao suddenly found it quite interesting.

He then continued: "It doesn't matter. I have other places anyway; one more or less makes no difference."

As he spoke, he suddenly unbuttoned his shirt.

"Hey! If you're going to talk, just talk! Why are you suddenly unbuttoning your shirt! Can you be more mindful!"

Cai Xiaotang was startled. Her previous apology vanished instantly, and she hurriedly turned around.

Li Xiao, however, raised an eyebrow dismissively: "It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you so nervous?"

Cai Xiaotang felt a breath stuck in her chest and replied ungraciously: "I... that was because I was applying medicine for you and saw it by accident. Now it's different! Can't you say something before taking off your clothes? Do you think you look that good? You pervert..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but chuckle: "How am I a pervert for changing clothes in my own room? Aren't you already turned around now? I didn't force you to look..."

While deliberately teasing Cai Xiaotang, he quickly changed into his pajamas.

Only then did he see that Cai Xiaotang was still keeping her body tense, facing the direction of the door.

Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly couldn't help but want to tease her again.

He deliberately lightened his footsteps, walked up, and patted Cai Xiaotang on the shoulder.

"Damn! What are you doing!"

Cai Xiaotang was so startled that she lunged forward, but still did not turn back.

"Cough..."

Li Xiao deliberately gave a light cough and said in a low voice: "Given that you seemed to think there was nothing worth looking at just now, would you like to... take a look yourself now? I don't think it's as bad as you say..."

"Are you a pervert! Who wants to look at you! I... even if I wanted to look, I'd look at male models in magazines! What's so good about looking at you!"

Cai Xiaotang was so shocked by him that she became incoherent. As she spoke, she kept waving her hands, trying to push the person beside her away.

However, she felt the texture of the fabric on his arm.

She froze for a moment and instantly turned her head to look at him.

The next second, she saw that Li Xiao was wearing his pajamas neatly; it was nothing like what he had said.

Cai Xiaotang was dumbfounded, and once she came to her senses, she was instantly furious.

"You really are! You're no fun at all! Is this very amusing? Honestly..."

She was quite angered, and thinking of how she had actually blushed and felt her heart race for a moment just now, she felt extremely displeased.

Li Xiao, however, could not help but laugh, turned around and walked toward the bedside, and climbed directly onto the bed.

Cai Xiaotang stood where she was, and seeing his movements were so decisive, she felt a bit angry again.

"You sleep on the bed, so where do I sleep?" she asked subconsciously.

Li Xiao swept a calm glance at his side and asked unhurriedly in return, "Is the remaining space not enough for you to sleep?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang was blocked by his words and immediately could not help but want to flare up, saying unhappily at once, "We are a lone man and a lone woman; is it appropriate for us to sleep together! And don't think I've forgotten! You had ulterior motives toward me before! Now you want to sleep with me again; I highly suspect that you arranged this on purpose!"

"I had ulterior motives toward you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he instantly recalled those things he had said to tease her on purpose before, like them being a match made in heaven, and felt somewhat helpless.

It seems...

Not just anyone can be teased so easily...

It was just a matter of a single sentence back then; he never expected the two of them would actually reach this point now.

However... she really is too interesting; every time, he cannot help but want to tease her a little...

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he heard Cai Xiaotang speak again: "I don't care! You dragged me in, so you go sleep on the floor!"
