Chapter 505: She Definitely Isn't Falling for Him

"I didn't!"

Cai Xiaotang retorted immediately without a second thought, though her gaze looked inexplicably evasive.

Hearing this, Li Xiao stared at her for a few seconds, but his face was written with total disbelief.

"Really didn't?"

He leaned in closer again, carefully observing Cai Xiaotang's expression.

"I said I didn't! If you have something to say, just say it; why are you getting so close!"

Cai Xiaotang wanted to step back in annoyance, but her back was already against the door panel, and there was simply nowhere left to hide.

Li Xiao had no choice but to give up, and seeing her obviously awkward appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, since you say you didn't, then go back and rest early. Good night, sweet dreams."

He did not press further, took the initiative to step back, turned around, and returned to his room.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang let out a heavy sigh of relief, immediately pushed open her door, and slipped inside.

Only her little heart remained, still thumping away non-stop.

Sweet dreams, my foot...

She didn't want to have any more dreams at all!

But... was she really that obvious?

She just hadn't talked to him much...

But the two of them were only in a fake marriage; whether she avoided Li Xiao or not shouldn't have any impact on him...

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself while quickly washing up and getting into bed to rest.

Midnight—

The person who had been sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly sat up with a look of shock!

Cai Xiaotang was drenched in sweat, her heartbeat so fast it felt like it was about to fly out of her chest!

The dream in her mind remained clear and vivid.

This time it wasn't by the bedside, but had changed to the entrance of that mall the two of them had happened to visit!

In the dream, there wasn't a single person on the road.

Cai Xiaotang was just about to reach out to take the bag Li Xiao was handing her, when she was caught off guard and pulled into a warm embrace!

Then came the familiar scent, constantly drawing closer...

Just as something was about to happen, she snapped her eyes open.

"Damn it... why did I dream of him again..."

Cai Xiaotang gasped for air in small breaths, her face still shaken, her cheeks burning red.

She sat on the bed alone for a while before suddenly lying back down and burying herself under the covers again.

So annoying!

It must be because Li Xiao told her to have sweet dreams before he went back to his room!

Otherwise, how could she have dreamed of him again?

Cai Xiaotang complained silently in her heart, staying awake until dawn before finally falling back asleep.

The group stayed on the island for a few more days before setting off to return to the country.

On the plane, Jiang Baobao saw Cai Xiaotang, who was drowsy the moment she touched her seat, and couldn't help but worry: "Xiao Tang, didn't you rest well? How come you even have dark circles..."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to nod groggily: "Mm... I... I've been having some insomnia lately..."

As she spoke, she had already quickly closed her eyes against the back of the seat, unable to help but sigh in her heart.

How could she dare to sleep these past few days!

She basically played on her phone all night and could only fall asleep when she was exhausted during the day...

And it was all that guy's fault!

Seeing that she seemed extremely sleepy, Jiang Baobao hurriedly stopped bothering her.

Afternoon—

The private jet landed slowly, and they got off at the top floor of the Li Corporation as before.

After Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang parted ways downstairs, she didn't rush home.

"I want to go to a place; you take the children back first."

Jiang Baobao sent the little ones into the car and said to Li Beijue.

"Where to? I'll go with you; we can have Chen Xi take them home first."

Li Beijue spoke up immediately.

Jiang Baobao was just about to refuse when she heard the three little ones in the car also say: "Mommy! Let Daddy go with you! Uncle Chen can just take us!"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Chen Xi immediately turned and got into the driver's seat, being very "perceptive."

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected him to move so quickly, so she had no choice but to agree.

Watching the three little ones leave, the two of them then turned and got into another car.

"Where do you want to go?"

Li Beijue asked while starting the car.

Only then did Jiang Baobao slowly answer: "I want to go see Xia Huiya."

"See her?"

Hearing this, Li Beijue immediately furrowed his brows.

The matter with the Lu Family had already been resolved.

He did not want those annoying people to appear in front of Jiang Baobao ever again.

Jiang Baobao saw through his thoughts at a glance and hurriedly placated him: "I have some things I want to ask her, and after that, I will never see her again, okay?"

Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Li Beijue had absolutely no resistance to this tone; upon hearing this, he nodded without the slightest hesitation and helplessly agreed.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

As he spoke, he started the car.

Half an hour later—

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the prison.

After speaking with the guards, Li Beijue took Jiang Baobao and walked straight inside.

The nature of what the Lu Family had done was truly too vile.

Although the matter had already been investigated clearly, the trial and sentencing had not yet begun, so they were merely being kept under strict guard.

The two of them were led to the door of a small room.

She stopped in her tracks, hesitated for two seconds, and then turned her head to ask Li Beijue tentatively: "Would you mind waiting for me outside?"

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue immediately felt a bit uneasy.

After pondering for a moment, he still agreed: "Alright, but don't stay too long. Leave as soon as you finish asking your questions, so she doesn't upset you again."

He gave a worried instruction and turned to stand by the door.

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Li Beijue on the cheek.

Li Beijue was slightly stunned and wanted to reach out to grab her, but Jiang Baobao had already quickly pushed the door open and gone inside.

He had no choice but to lean against the wall and wait patiently for her to come out, his face full of undisguised doting.

Inside the room—

As soon as Jiang Baobao entered the room, she saw Xia Huiya squatting in the corner.

The room here was divided into two parts.

One part had a table and chairs, as well as a simple desk lamp.

The other part was sealed off like a cage, with only a tiny space for someone to move around.

Xia Huiya was locked inside.

Hearing the noise, she lifted her head abruptly.

Seeming to think that the person coming to see her was Lu Qing'er, who had already been released, her expression was somewhat joyful.

But her expression changed violently the instant she saw who it was.

"Jiang Baobao? What are you here for? To see how wretched I am now?"

Xia Huiya's tone was sharp and mean; it seemed that knowing she couldn't get out, she no longer bothered to maintain her previous mask.

Jiang Baobao did not speak; she stepped forward two paces and then saw clearly that Xia Huiya's face was bruised and purple, with blood scabs on the corners of her mouth—it was clear at a glance that she had been "well-treated" by someone.

Her clothes were also tattered, and her exposed arms and legs were covered in large patches of red swelling, as if new injuries were layered over old ones.

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Could these... have been done by Li Beijue's orders?

She had the answer in her heart, but looking at the person before her, she felt no sympathy at all.

That Xia Huiya had fallen to this state today was all she deserved!
