Chapter 564: Displeased with Li Xiao

Cai Xiaotang drove the car all the way back to the entrance of the villa, and just as she parked, she saw the car she had seen earlier already parked outside.

Li Xiao is back?

Cai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow and let out a cold, disdainful snort in her heart.

What did he come back for?

Isn't that kind of place supposed to be for staying the night?

In this villa, there is no "warm fragrance and soft jade" to keep him company!

Cai Xiaotang slammed the car door shut with a "bang," hearing a sound from behind her.

It was the two bodyguards who had been following her all day returning as well.

Under normal circumstances, Cai Xiaotang would have greeted them with a smile.

But today she was in no mood, so she turned her head directly and walked toward the villa's main entrance.

Then, as soon as she stepped inside, she saw the person she least wanted to see at that moment.

"Back? Why so late today?"

Li Xiao was standing in the living room holding a cup of coffee, seemingly having just walked out of the kitchen.

His suit jacket was hanging on a coat rack, and he was wearing only a black shirt on his upper body.

The top two buttons were slightly loose, revealing a small patch of skin, which, paired with the faint smile on his face, made one unable to help but have some "fantasies."

"A beast in human clothing!"

Cai Xiaotang muttered under her breath, too lazy to answer his question, and walked straight toward the stairs.

Li Xiao was taken aback by what she said, subconsciously looking down to examine his own attire, his expression somewhat puzzled.

A beast in human clothing?

Doesn't he usually dress like this?

On the stairs, the expression on Cai Xiaotang's face was also somewhat annoyed; she was inexplicably angry at her own slip of the tongue just now.

Why did she say what was on her mind?

Doesn't he usually dress like this too?

But today it somehow made people feel... inexplicably unpleasant to look at!

Cai Xiaotang was incredibly annoyed and simply threw all those thoughts to the back of her mind.

But before she could reach her room door, familiar footsteps sounded behind her.

"Cai Xiaotang!"

Li Xiao's voice also rang out from behind.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps paused subconsciously, but she only stopped for less than a second before continuing to walk forward as if she hadn't heard.

Li Xiao had no choice but to quicken his pace, blocking her path in two strides.

"What's wrong with you? Did you go out to play with Jiang Baobao today? Are you angry? Did you two have a fight?"

Li Xiao asked, puzzled.

He didn't even know why he had chased after her, only that once he sensed someone seemed to be in a bad mood, he couldn't help but follow.

"What does it have to do with you!"

Cai Xiaotang replied crossly and continued walking forward.

Li Xiao's expression became even more puzzled, and he took the opportunity to grab her wrist.

"Why does it look like... it seems I'm the one who made you unhappy? Why don't you tell me about it?"

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with great interest; the less she said, the more curious he became.

Cai Xiaotang snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him: "I'm very tired today and don't want to talk! You must be very tired too, so you should go back and rest early!"

She deliberately emphasized the words "very tired," completely unaware of how displeased her face looked.

Li Xiao, however, keenly sensed something.

He raised an eyebrow, not letting go of Cai Xiaotang's hand, while his other hand took out his phone and quickly sent a message.

【Where did Cai Xiaotang go today? Tell me in detail.】

In less than ten seconds, he received a reply.

It detailed that Cai Xiaotang had spent the whole day at the amusement park, where she had eaten in the evening, and even clearly stated which roads she had taken.

Looking at the last familiar street, Li Xiao suddenly understood.

She was so furious with him... could it be that she had discovered...

"Ahem..."

Li Xiao gave a light cough, suddenly unable to help but want to laugh.

"Have you grabbed enough! Let go!" Cai Xiaotang was too lazy to stand there with him and twisted her wrist.

Li Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Did you follow me today?"

His tone was playful, carrying a hint of teasing.

"Who followed you!"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened instantly: "You were the one who wanted to go to that kind of place, and your car was parked right at the entrance so brazenly—are you afraid of people seeing it?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she had done and slammed her mouth shut, but her eyes were wide open, glaring at Li Xiao with fire in them.

That stinky jerk Li Xiao!

He actually dared to trick her into talking!

He must have sent a message to those two bodyguards just now to ask where she had gone today!

Li Xiao said nothing, but the smile at the corners of his mouth grew heavier; watching Cai Xiaotang's puffed-up appearance, he couldn't help but take another step forward.

Cai Xiaotang immediately said: "Stay away from me! You smell like cheap perfume! It's disgusting!"

There was actually no scent on the man at all, save for his usual perfume, which carried a cold, crisp fragrance.

Cai Xiaotang was just feeling indignant, which was why she had said that on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao laughed even more wantonly: "You smelled perfume on me? But tonight... I clearly only touched you, a woman..."

His tone was slightly teasing, and by the end, it even carried a hint of ambiguity as he deliberately brushed his finger lightly against the back of her hand.

Cai Xiaotang was instantly so startled that the hairs all over her body stood on end, and her face burned with heat: "Stop spouting nonsense! Whether you touched a woman or not has nothing to do with me! I'm not in the mood to chat with you! I'm going back to rest!"

"Are you jealous?"

Li Xiao ignored her embarrassment-fueled anger and asked another question, looking perfectly at ease.

Cai Xiaotang stiffened abruptly, immediately becoming like a dud firecracker, silenced.

After a long pause, she said with a stiff tone: "What a joke, we have no relationship, why would I be jealous? I just think men who go to places like that to find women are trash! So I can't be bothered to deal with you!"

As she spoke, she finally shook off Li Xiao's hand violently and strode toward her room.

But she heard the person behind her suddenly speak up: "I only went there tonight to handle some business."

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps came to a halt.

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he himself was also suddenly stunned.

Why was he explaining himself?

Wasn't it just that after knowing the reason, he had only wanted to tease her a little?

The air suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang's brain had long since turned into a mess of mush; suddenly, as if possessed, she turned around and couldn't help but ask with a straight face: "Are you explaining to me?"

Li Xiao opened his mouth but didn't speak, his expression gradually becoming complex.

The atmosphere seemed even more bizarre for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang waited for him for a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't speak, she simply lost all patience and gripped the doorknob again.

Just at this moment—

"Wait a second!!!"

Li Xiao's voice rang out again.

Cai Xiaotang's hand stopped moving, and a dark undercurrent suddenly swept through her heart; she was inexplicably looking forward to something.

Yet she didn't know what she was looking forward to.

Immediately after, she saw him walk to her side and ask in his usual teasing tone: "I'll tell you one thing, and in exchange, after you hear it, you aren't allowed to be angry anymore, how about that?"
