Chapter 587: If You Like Her, Go After Her

Cai Xiaotang quickly found the medicine kit and carried it back to the living room.

Li Xiao skillfully took out the necessary medical supplies from it, carefully disinfected her wound, and bandaged it.

Cai Xiaotang watched his practiced movements in silence, and couldn't help but blush again.

How had she never noticed before... Li Xiao's hands were actually quite good-looking...

His fingers were long, and they looked very strong too...

He must often grip weapons... or... guns?

Cai Xiaotang's train of thought couldn't help but start wandering again.

It wasn't until the back of her hand was lightly patted that she suddenly snapped back to reality.

"What are you thinking about? It's already been taken care of, let's go home."

Li Xiao said, putting the medicine kit away.

"Home?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back blankly, her heart suddenly stirred for a moment by these two words.

Home...

That villa... was it her and Li Xiao's home?

Cai Xiaotang had a dazed expression, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a tendency to curl upward.

The next second, however, she suddenly felt a chill on her forehead, and Li Xiao's presence suddenly loomed close.

"Cai Xiaotang, weren't you very fierce when you caught the thief just now? Are you scared silly now? Or do you have a fever? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"

Li Xiao returned to that tone of constant teasing, looking at Cai Xiaotang with confusion.

Cai Xiaotang instantly came to her senses and hurriedly slapped his hand away.

"I'm fine, let's go, aren't we going home! Let's go home!"

She deliberately emphasized the last three words, feeling wonderful inside.

The two of them returned to the villa together, and as soon as she entered the door, Cai Xiaotang threw herself into her room.

Li Xiao happened to pass by her door and couldn't help but urge: "Pay a little attention to your wound, remember not to get it wet, wait a couple of days for it to recover."

"I know..."

Cai Xiaotang answered in an exhausted voice, and seeing out of the corner of her eye that Li Xiao was about to leave, she suddenly spoke up: "Li Xiao!"

Li Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at her inquiringly.

Cai Xiaotang opened her mouth, not knowing which nerve had misfired, and suddenly asked: "Do you think... my house is very small today?"

"Hm?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at her amusedly, asking back: "Did you only just discover this problem today?"

Cai Xiaotang was choked by his words and immediately wanted to roll her eyes at him.

But she couldn't help but continue: "Of course I've always known! It's just that I suddenly felt... I have to live here for at least a while longer, what if I get spoiled by you after a long time? Have you ever heard the saying 'it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal'?"

After Cai Xiaotang finished speaking, she couldn't help but look forward to Li Xiao's response.

Li Xiao clearly hadn't expected her to suddenly bring this up and was slightly stunned.

A teasing remark was right on the tip of his tongue.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, he remembered what happened last night and instantly changed his mind, saying solemnly: "Then... if you like, how about I add a clause to the agreement that when we divorce, I'll gift you a villa of similar specifications to this one?"

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

When did this guy become so dense?

According to his personality, shouldn't he be saying something like whether she had taken a fancy to him and didn't want to leave?

Cai Xiaotang felt a lump in her chest and retorted unhappily: "Who covets your villa! If I want to buy one, I can just go to my brother!"

"That's true."

Li Xiao nodded with amusement, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

A silence suddenly fell between the two.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, thinking that what she had just said was simply stupid!

Why on earth did she bring up the difficulty of going from extravagant to frugal!

Could Li Xiao have misunderstood that she was greedy for his money and wanted to make a big profit when they divorced?

Seeing that Li Xiao was still standing at the door, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly said: "I'm going to rest, you go get busy!"

"Alright, get some good rest."

Li Xiao replied, then thoughtfully closed the door for her and turned to leave.

Listening to him walk away, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but reach out and punch the bed.

"Am I a pig! Who probes like that!"

She couldn't help but complain to herself, helplessly pulling back the quilt and rolling herself inside.

Li Xiao...

What does he think of her?

Although he said at the beginning that she was his soulmate or something...

But after spending so much time together, he hadn't done anything out of line.

If he really wanted to pursue her, he surely would have taken action long ago, right?

Based on her current understanding of him, he was probably just trying to tease her back then!

But during this time, he had indeed been very good to her...

What exactly is he thinking?

If he doesn't take action...

Cai Xiaotang pressed her lips together, and a bold idea suddenly sprang into her mind.

If he wouldn't take action, she certainly didn't want to just sit and wait for death!

Besides, it was rare to meet someone she liked, and the two of them were already in a marriage relationship now!

Then she might as well boldly go after him!

This was what they called "the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first"!

Cai Xiaotang made her decision almost instantly, and her mood suddenly became exceptionally good.

With her worries resolved, sleepiness came over her like a tidal wave.

Not long after, Cai Xiaotang drifted off into a hazy sleep.

Until she woke up with a start from the bed.

"Li Xiao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang shouted Li Xiao's name and sat up from the bed, covered in cold sweat.

The room was pitch black; she hurriedly turned to switch on the desk lamp, and feeling the light, the chill all over her body finally subsided quite a bit.

"Whew..."

Cai Xiaotang let out a sigh of relief, unable to stop herself from recalling the dream she had just had, still feeling a lingering fear.

Unlike the sweet dreams she usually had, she had just dreamt that while Li Xiao was fighting a thief today, the other party had pulled out a knife from somewhere and stabbed it directly into Li Xiao's heart!

And she had been right there, reaching out her hand only to grab at empty air, watching helplessly as fresh blood stained his chest red.

"How could I have such a dream..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered in a low voice, reaching out to stroke her chest, suddenly feeling an urgent desire to see Li Xiao.

She hurriedly rolled out of bed, pulled open the bedroom door, and walked out.

Then she happened to run into one of Li Xiao's subordinates carrying a food tray upstairs.

"Madam, you're awake."

The other party greeted Cai Xiaotang and then hurriedly said, "Dinner has been kept ready; Li Xiao said that if you wanted to eat, we should have someone heat it up."

"Thank you, I'm not hungry yet; are you going to the study to deliver dinner?"

Cai Xiaotang saw the food on the tray in his hands and asked an extra question.

The other party nodded: "Yes, Li Xiao told me to bring some food over."

"Why don't I take it over? You go and rest first."

Cai Xiaotang's heart stirred, and she said hurriedly.

The other party hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering it.

Li Xiao had said that his study could not be entered casually...

Only a few people around him who were qualified could come and go as they pleased.

But Miss Cai... there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Everyone felt that Li Xiao was very special toward Miss Cai...

And Li Xiao was currently upstairs...

Perhaps this could even help foster the relationship between the two of them!

"Ahem, then I'll leave it to you, Miss Cai."

Thinking this, he solemnly handed the tray in his hands to Cai Xiaotang.
