Chapter 563: Cai Xiaotang is Jealous

~7 min read 1,315 words

Even though it was a perfectly normal action, Jiang Baobao always felt something strange in her heart.

Immediately, she heard: "Yay! Godmother! Then let's go eat barbecue! Yueyue in our class said she and her mommy went to a super delicious barbecue restaurant!"

As a "little foodie," Tiantian took the lead in making the suggestion without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses and chimed in, "I think I know which one Tiantian is talking about; the taste is indeed good. What do you think, Mobai and Yanbao?"

"I'll listen to Tiantian."

"I agree!"

Yanbao and Mobai also readily agreed.

The group quickly made a decision, and at Cai Xiaotang's suggestion, they all got into her car.

As for Jiang Baobao's car, she called a designated driver to drive it back to Li Mansion.

As they sat in the car, Cai Xiaotang casually entered the name of the restaurant into the navigation and studied the route.

"Huh? Is this restaurant located over there? I don't think I've been there much..."

She started the car while she spoke.

Jiang Baobao chatted with her casually, "Hasn't that area been under development for the past few years? It seems like it's mostly finished now, so a lot of shops have opened up..."

The two of them chatted on and off like this, while Cai Xiaotang drove slowly according to the navigation, afraid of taking a wrong turn by accident.

But unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, she discovered that the surrounding environment looked a bit "strange."

The sky had already turned dark.

This made the surrounding buildings look even more flashy and decadent.

Passing several doorways in a row where women dressed in seductive attire were standing, looking like places such as clubs, both Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang finally realized something, and their expressions became somewhat subtle.

"How did we end up here? Did we take a wrong turn?"

Fearing that the three little ones might see something they shouldn't, Jiang Baobao hurriedly asked, then immediately spoke to the three of them on purpose to distract their attention.

Cai Xiaotang was also somewhat speechless; while quickly adjusting the navigation, she said helplessly, "I don't know either. It shouldn't be wrong... the navigation says this is the road..."

As she spoke, she increased the speed of the car, wanting to drive out of this area quickly.

But unexpectedly, while passing the entrance of a certain club, her eyes suddenly swept over a familiar car!

"Screech—!"

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously slammed on the brakes, her eyes staring blankly at that familiar license plate number.

That car is... Li Xiao's!

He actually came to a place like this!

Jiang Baobao was startled by her, steadied herself, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly hit the brakes?"

"N-nothing!"

Cai Xiaotang quickly withdrew her gaze.

She didn't know if Jiang Baobao recognized Li Xiao's car, so she didn't dare to delay for even a second and hurriedly restarted the car.

Jiang Baobao really didn't notice anything, just saying somewhat helplessly, "Xiao Tang, you have to be careful when driving with your rash temperament! It's a good thing there was no one or any cars around just now..."

"Sorry, I suddenly felt a bit dizzy just now..."

Cai Xiaotang's heart was in a mess, and she casually found an excuse.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly said, "Why don't I drive instead? If you're not feeling well, sit in the passenger seat and rest for a while..."

"No need, we're almost there."

Cai Xiaotang shook her head. Seeing that the destination was just a left turn away at the intersection ahead, she suddenly accelerated, her face showing a sense of irritation she hadn't even noticed herself.

Tsk... how could that guy suddenly run to a place like this?

No... he's someone involved in the underworld, what's so unusual about him coming to a place like this!

But... but...

She had never thought before that there would come a day when Li Xiao would come to a place like this...

So annoying!

What is there to be conflicted about?

He can go wherever he wants; what does it have to do with her?

Cai Xiaotang's mind was in total chaos, and she didn't even notice as they passed the barbecue restaurant they were supposed to go to.

"Xiao Tang! We've arrived! You went too far!"

Jiang Baobao's voice instantly woke Cai Xiaotang up, and only then did she realize it and hurriedly pull over to the side.

Jiang Baobao also saw that something was wrong with her and asked with concern, "What is actually wrong with you? If you really can't do it, let's just go home first. Shall I call a designated driver for you to take you home?"

"I'm fine."

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously denied it, then immediately found a quick excuse, "Maybe I'm just too hungry, so hungry that I'm dizzy! Let's go, let's hurry inside!"

As she spoke, she quickly led the three little ones into the shop.

Business in the shop was booming, and since they had arrived a bit late, they waited a while before getting a table.

But during the meal, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but think of that car, belonging to a certain someone, which was just a street away from her.

Is Li Xiao still in that club?

What... would he be doing inside?

Is he like other men, sitting on the sofa with a lecherous look, drinking, while holding two women in his arms...

Cai Xiaotang's ears buzzed; just thinking about this possibility made her feel incredibly unhappy.

"Xiao Tang? The meat is burnt!"

Seeing her inexplicably zoning out again, Jiang Baobao hurriedly snatched the tongs from her hand and flipped the meat on the grill.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and hurriedly picked up her juice, pretending to take a sip to cover it up.

"I... I probably didn't rest well yesterday, so I felt sleepy after eating and just got a bit distracted..."

She found an excuse that couldn't have been any lamer, her face unable to hide a trace of annoyance.

What was she doing?

She had been thinking about that guy Li Xiao ever since just now!

What was there to think about him?

He was nothing more than a lecherous gangster!

Besides, when they were about to get married, he once said that he had many "girlfriends" out there!

And to think she had even felt like she might have a bit of a lik...

Cai Xiaotang suddenly froze, then immediately took a deep breath, wanting to suppress all the unpleasant emotions in her heart.

Stop!

Not allowed to think about him anymore!

She would never like a guy like that!

Men really are all fickle and unreliable!

"Xiao Tang, eat some meat!"

Jiang Baobao's reminder rang in her ears, once again interrupting Cai Xiaotang's train of thought.

She blinked, looking at Jiang Baobao, who was watching her with a helpless expression, and had no choice but to let out two dry laughs and stuff the slice of meat she had picked up into her mouth, though she found it tasteless.

Seeing that her mental state really seemed very poor, Jiang Baobao had no choice but to stop asking questions, hurriedly finished dinner, and urged her to go home and rest quickly.

Cai Xiaotang originally wanted to take them back, but was shooed into the car by Jiang Baobao.

She had no choice but to wait for the Li Family driver to come and pick them up before she could leave with peace of mind.

Yet, she kept a sullen face the entire way.

She wondered if that guy Li Xiao had gone home yet...

Tsk...

Why was she starting again!

Who cares if he goes home or not!

That person is probably already lingering in a "den of pleasure" right now, having even forgotten his own name!
