Chapter 503: The Magnetic Field Reaction Between Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao

Cai Xiaotang turned a blind eye to someone's gaze and gripped Jiang Baobao's arm tightly.

"You go sit in the front first."

Jiang Baobao blinked at Li Beijue with amusement.

Li Beijue felt helpless and had no choice but to go to the front passenger seat next to Li Xiao.

The car started, and only then did Cai Xiaotang heave a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Tang, where do you plan to go for fun? Have you already looked up a guide?"

Seeing her so enthusiastic, Jiang Baobao assumed she had already prepared beforehand.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang shook her head: "Not really, let's just wander around. There must be a shopping mall in the city center, right? Besides, we're out to have fun, so let's just be casual..."

"That's true, then let's just wander around."

Jiang Baobao agreed in full approval.

The scenery outside was excellent.

After passing through the small town, they came upon a tree-lined road nestled in the middle of a forest.

The two chatted and watched the scenery all the way, and the car soon drove into the city.

"Wow... it doesn't really look any different from where we're from..."

Seeing a large shopping mall appear before her eyes, Cai Xiaotang commented casually.

Jiang Baobao suddenly found it funny: "Shopping malls all over the world should be about the same..."

As the two spoke, they walked into the entrance of the mall hand in hand.

Li Beijue and Li Xiao followed behind them.

Cai Xiaotang seemed to be in high spirits, pulling Jiang Baobao to look at this and that everywhere.

Jiang Baobao didn't think much of it at first, but as time went on, she couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

Was it an illusion?

It seemed like Xiao Tang hadn't said a single word to Li Xiao since they set off this morning!

Had the two of them had a fight?

Or had they actually spoken, and she just hadn't noticed?

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel a bit strange, observing every move Cai Xiaotang made without drawing attention to herself.

Half an hour later, she finally confirmed the thought in her mind.

There was definitely something wrong with the two of them!

Yet Xiao Tang wouldn't say a single word to Li Xiao!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but glance at Li Xiao's direction with some worry.

Noticing her gaze, Li Xiao felt a bit strange.

"Xiao Tang."

Jiang Baobao withdrew her gaze and gently tugged on Cai Xiaotang's sleeve.

"Hmm?"

Cai Xiaotang responded casually.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Baobao lean into her ear and ask: "Did you and Li Xiao... have a fight last night?"

"No."

Cai Xiaotang answered crisply, a flash of unnatural expression crossing her face.

Jiang Baobao continued to ask, puzzled: "Then why don't you two say a single word to each other?"

"We..."

Cai Xiaotang was startled at the words, instantly thinking of a suitable excuse in her mind.

The "married status" of the two of them was just too troublesome!

Every time she spoke to him, she would think of the dream from last night, so...

"And you say you didn't fight! You're frowning so hard you could crush a mosquito!"

Jiang Baobao poked her forehead with amusement, then couldn't help but ask with concern: "What happened? Why not tell me about it?"

"It's really nothing, it's just..."

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but want to say it out loud.

But halfway through, she suddenly got stuck.

This... how was she supposed to say this?

She and Li Xiao were husband and wife now, so wasn't it the most normal thing in the world to dream about him at night?

"Forget it, there's really nothing wrong. Let's go, let's go look at some clothes up ahead."

Cai Xiaotang deliberately changed the subject and pulled Jiang Baobao to keep walking forward.

Seeing her so hesitant, Jiang Baobao became even more certain that something must have happened between the two.

Even Li Beijue, who had been following behind, noticed that something was wrong with Cai Xiaotang.

"Did you two fight?"

He suddenly asked Li Xiao.

"No."

Li Xiao was completely confused.

Seeing Li Xiao's innocent expression, Li Beijue was silent for two seconds before continuing: "Don't tell me you haven't noticed that Cai Xiaotang hasn't said a single word to you since we left."

"Of course I noticed."

Li Xiao nodded with a calm expression.

Li Beijue: "..."

Having discovered him, why is he still not going over to coax her?

How exactly do the two of them usually get along?

"Forget it, suit yourself."

Li Beijue couldn't be bothered to manage him and didn't say anything more.

As a grown man, it wasn't appropriate for him to casually interfere in other people's family affairs, especially since Li Xiao didn't seem worried either.

The four of them continued walking forward.

The "not worried" person, however, couldn't help but fix his gaze on Cai Xiaotang's back.

Did he do something to provoke her?

Isn't she usually very chatty and talkative?

Li Xiao also felt like something was wrong, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out why.

It wasn't until Cai Xiaotang was finally tired from walking that she pulled Jiang Baobao to rest under an outdoor sun umbrella.

The group simply bought some food and sat down on the chairs.

Cai Xiaotang tossed her bag onto the table and focused on sipping her cola with her head down.

Jiang Baobao's gaze, however, shifted worriedly between him and Li Xiao.

Should she and Li Beijue find an excuse to leave now and give the two of them some private space?

If there were any misunderstandings, it would be best if they could clear them up...

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she suddenly saw a drink shop across the way and hurriedly stood up, pulling Li Beijue as she said, "Li Beijue, come with me to buy a drink over there!"

"Okay."

Li Beijue nodded in agreement.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously opened her mouth to speak, but seeing the two of them holding hands, she swallowed her words back down.

Forget it... she had better not be a third wheel...

As she thought this, she continued to drink her cola with her head down, as if it were some rare beverage she had never tasted before.

Jiang Baobao turned and gave Li Xiao a look, glanced at Cai Xiaotang again, and then pulled Li Beijue away.

Watching the two walk away, Li Xiao suddenly sat down beside Cai Xiaotang and stared at her, lost in thought.

"You... didn't sleep well last night, are you feeling unwell today?"

Li Xiao thought for a long time, and this was the only conclusion he could come up with.

Cai Xiaotang was dazed and hadn't heard clearly what he asked; she only heard the words "last night" and subconsciously looked up to deny it immediately: "What about last night? Nothing happened last night!"

Her fleeting nervousness was successfully captured by Li Xiao.

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with even more confusion and couldn't help but laugh: "I... did I just ask you what happened last night? I was asking if you didn't sleep well last night and are feeling unwell."

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment.

Only the sound of Li Xiao's soft laughter remained in her ears.

It overlapped with that voice from her dream last night.

"No! I slept exceptionally well last night! I didn't even have a dream!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately denied it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression becoming more probing: "No dreams? Didn't you have a nightmare last night and even call my name in your sleep?"

"Uh, right... it was a nightmare!"

Cai Xiaotang no longer knew what she was saying.

That dream from last night had been such a huge "blow" to her.
