Chapter 583: Truly Moved

Cai Xiaotang tidied herself up quickly, then slowly went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Her mind was full of thoughts about last night, and even when she sat at the table, she was still somewhat absent-minded.

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Laoyezi suddenly called out to Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang instantly snapped back to reality and hurriedly looked in Li Laoyezi's direction.

Immediately after, she heard him ask, "How did you sleep last night? Are you used to it?"

"Last night..."

Certain images uncontrollably flooded back into Cai Xiaotang's mind.

After a long pause, she replied, "I slept quite well."

Upon hearing this, Li Laoyezi nodded with satisfaction.

Cai Xiaotang, however, could not help but look up in Li Xiao's direction, her expression momentarily subtle.

That dream yesterday... was simply too vivid.

So vivid that it made one unable to help but wonder if something had actually happened...

Did she... really have a bit of a... liking for Li Xiao?

Otherwise, why would she keep having such "restricted-level" dreams?

But... how could she have fallen for him?

Cai Xiaotang could not help but ponder this in her heart; she did not feel repulsed by this feeling of liking, just somewhat... unable to understand it.

When exactly did she start...

"Xiao Tang?"

Li Xiao's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Cai Xiaotang's train of thought.

Cai Xiaotang looked over subconsciously, her face full of confusion.

Immediately following that, she heard Li Laoyezi also ask with concern from the side, "Xiao Tang, did you not get enough sleep? Why not go rest a while longer after breakfast?"

Li Laoyezi was in high spirits, clearly believing that since the two of them had drunk the soup last night, something must have happened.

Cai Xiaotang immediately shook her head repeatedly: "No need, Dad, I rested quite well yesterday..."

As she spoke, she ate the breakfast in her hands.

But after last night, she was terrified of falling for another food-related trap, so she only picked a few simple dishes she liked and drank a small bowl of white porridge before putting down her chopsticks.

She must be careful with what she eats from now on!

She must not eat things she doesn't recognize!

Last night wasn't just a dream, she was also hot as hell!

It must have been because of those three bowls of soup!

"You're full already?" Li Laoyezi asked, showing great concern for Cai Xiaotang.

"Mm-hmm, I'm full!" Cai Xiaotang hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Dad, then we'll be heading back first."

"Do you have something to do?" Li Laoyezi glared at him.

Then, without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, he continued, "If you have things to do, go ahead, but leave Xiao Tang behind to play a few games of Go with me before she leaves."

Cai Xiaotang:...

She can't leave yet?

She was truly afraid of the old man!

But who told her to have studied Go for a period of time before!

And it just so happened that the old man found out!

It's all Mu Liusu's fault!

Saying that learning Go could cultivate one's character, and saying her temper was too bad and she had to learn it!

Cai Xiaotang immediately looked at Li Xiao for help.

Hey!

Say something!

She wanted to go home!

Li Xiao received her gaze and couldn't help but want to laugh.

But he said, "Alright then, Xiao Tang can stay and play Go with you. I do have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving first. Just have the driver at the Old Residence take her back to my place in a while."

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened to the size of copper bells, and she looked at Li Xiao in disbelief.

This guy was actually just leaving like this???

Leaving her here all by herself???

A breath was stuck in her chest, yet in front of Li Laoyezi, she couldn't say anything.

Li Xiao knew she was unhappy, but he deliberately avoided her gaze and sighed in his heart.

It was rare for him to have the urge to "escape" for a moment...

So he had to "wrong" her for now.

About last night... he wanted to be alone and have some quiet time.

With the driver from the Old Residence taking her back in a while, nothing should happen.

Cai Xiaotang's eye-attacks were fruitless, so she had to withdraw her gaze and worry by herself.

It's over...

The old man keeping her here alone must be to talk about having children...

Even if... even if she currently liked him a little...

But having children or something like that is way too early!

Cai Xiaotang's heart was in a chaotic mess; however unwilling, she could only watch helplessly as Li Xiao left, obediently accompanying Li Laoyezi for two games of chess.

As expected, the chess was a pretense, and the heart-to-heart talk was the real purpose.

Li Laoyezi interpreted in almost every aspect how unreliable the Li Xiao in his heart was, wanting Cai Xiaotang to urge him more; if he lacked ambition, at the very least he should care more about his own offspring.

Cai Xiaotang said with her mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, I will talk to him."

In her heart, she secretly grumbled: He lacks ambition?

His underworld business has even expanded overseas!

It's just that you don't know about it!

If they have a child in the future, wouldn't that child be groomed into a little big boss early on?

Cai Xiaotang finally finished listening to the "instructions" from the old man, and only then did she finally have a chance to catch her breath and leave.

She tidied up at almost the fastest speed possible, then stood at the doorway to bid farewell to Li Laoyezi.

Li Laoyezi suddenly remembered Li Xiao's words and suddenly said: "I'll have the driver take you..."

"No need, Dad, I... I want to walk along this way, I'll just call a car whenever."

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly refused; at this moment, she just wanted to be alone and have some quiet.

Li Laoyezi did not force the issue and had someone see her out the door.

Cai Xiaotang said her goodbyes and walked forward alone along the quiet path outside the villa.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, which finally allowed her heart to calm down a little.

"Li Xiao..."

She whispered Li Xiao's name, thinking of their first meeting.

At that time, he had said with a serious face that he was interested in her, and she had even mistaken him for a lunatic.

But after spending time together now... he hasn't actually done anything excessive.

It's just that sometimes his mouth is annoying...

Has she really fallen for him?

Is it because she likes him that she dreams of him, or does she like the him in her dreams?

If it is the latter, then wouldn't this feeling of heart-fluttering disappear if she just kept her distance?

"Ah... so troublesome!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression somewhat annoyed.

Since when did she become so indecisive!

At a time like this, rather than worrying by herself, it would be better to seek outside help!

Cai Xiaotang pondered for a moment, made up her mind, and dialed a call to Jiang Baobao.

The other side picked up quickly.

"What's wrong, Xiao Tang? Did you miss me just after we met yesterday?"

Jiang Baobao's voice rang out over the phone.

Cai Xiaotang paused upon hearing this and feigned composure: "Baobao, I... I have a question for you..."

"Hmm? Go ahead."

Jiang Baobao was somewhat curious.

Cai Xiaotang was silent for two seconds, then continued to ask: "If... you often dream of a man when you sleep, and... the scenes are usually quite ambiguous, what do you think... this means?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned by her question, then suddenly lowered her voice in vigilance and asked back nervously: "Why are you asking me this? Xiao Tang, you haven't had a change of heart, have you!"
