Chapter 595: Preparing Gifts in Advance

Cai Xiaotang looked at the phone in her palm, unable to help her mind from wandering again.

"Stop studying it; aside from the function I just showed you, it's no different from a normal phone."

Li Xiao tapped her forehead with a chuckle, though he couldn't help feeling a bit worried inside.

Today, she had only gone out without her bodyguards by chance, yet she was immediately targeted.

This meant that the people from Viper had been watching her in the shadows all along...

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, he suddenly heard Cai Xiaotang ask again: "What does your phone look like? Does it have this function too?"

"Yes, for the sake of installing the Chip, I chose the same model as mine, but you might not like the black one, so I got you a white one to match."

"White is great! I like white!"

Cai Xiaotang agreed instantly.

Seeing her so happy, Li Xiao laughed along with her, not forgetting to tease: "Do you know what your expression looks like right now?"

"Like what?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back, puzzled.

Li Xiao immediately said, showing no mercy: "You look just like an elementary school student who has never used a phone before, finally getting one of your own..."

"You're the elementary school student!"

Cai Xiaotang deliberately pretended to be puffed up with anger, waved her fist at him, and rolled her eyes in her heart.

Such a dense man!

He clearly hadn't thought of anything!

Right now, the two of them were using couple phones!

Even though she hadn't managed to win him over yet...

But the idea of couple phones just made one feel so happy!

I wonder if, after we get together, I can get this guy to wear matching couple outfits with me?

Cai Xiaotang's thoughts couldn't help but start running wild again, until she saw Li Xiao waving his hand in front of her.

"Alright, it's getting late, go to sleep early, and don't press that function randomly."

Li Xiao gave one more instruction before turning to leave.

Watching him walk away, Cai Xiaotang happily closed the bedroom door and sat back down by the bed with her new phone.

Just as Li Xiao said, except for that "special" function, the rest was no different from an ordinary phone.

Yet, Cai Xiaotang still couldn't put it down for a long while before finally placing it by her pillow.

Then, not long after, she picked it up again.

Li Xiao suddenly gave her a phone... should she prepare a return gift?

But what if he doesn't accept it?

While thinking this, Cai Xiaotang opened the calendar, took a quick glance at the date, and then her eyes suddenly lit up!

Got it!

There is a way, he definitely won't be able to refuse!

The next day—Jiang Baobao had just woken up when she received a call from Cai Xiaotang.

She answered groggily, and before she could even speak, she heard Cai Xiaotang say excitedly: "Baobao! Do you have time today! Let's go shopping!"

"Shopping?"

Jiang Baobao was completely confused.

She had spent a long time touring the manor yesterday, and after returning in the evening, she had been thoroughly "tossed about" by Li Beijue, so she still hadn't slept enough.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was full of energy and said with high spirits: "Yes! I suddenly remembered, Christmas is coming soon! How about we go pick out gifts together?"

"Christmas?"

Jiang Baobao asked back again, almost doubting if she had misheard something.

She turned on the speakerphone, looked at the date suspiciously, and then felt completely helpless.

"Miss Cai... are you still asleep? Christmas is still almost two months away! Isn't it too early to prepare gifts now?"

"Is it early? I don't think it's early at all!"

Cai Xiaotang had thought of this excuse last night and was eager to take action immediately to pick out a gift for Li Xiao.

At this moment, she could only bite the bullet and act spoiled toward Jiang Baobao: "Just come with me, I... I want to pick a special gift for Li Xiao, so of course I have to prepare early! Come with me... it just so happens we can also look for gifts for the three little ones! The earlier we prepare, the more it shows we care!"

"

"What kind of twisted logic is that..."

Jiang Baobao teased speechlessly.

"Anyway, just come with me, I know you're the best... If you don't have time today, tomorrow works too!"

Cai Xiaotang refused to give up.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to check the time and helplessly agreed: "Alright then, I don't have anything to do today anyway, so I'll go shopping with you..."

"Great! I knew you still loved me! Then I'm going to go get ready! See you in a bit! Mwah!"

Cai Xiaotang hung up the phone in high spirits and ran off to get ready.

Jiang Baobao, on the other hand, threw her phone aside and lay back down on the bed, wondering if she was still dreaming.

She wasn't dreaming just now, was she?

Xiao Tang actually wants to prepare Christmas gifts now?

And said something about how the earlier you prepare, the more you care?

Then she must care about Li Xiao way too much...

Jiang Baobao was not far from the shopping mall, so she slept for a while longer before getting up to tidy herself and heading to the mall where the two had agreed to meet.

Cai Xiaotang had arrived a little early, and as soon as she saw Jiang Baobao coming, she immediately went up to greet her with a grin.

"Morning, my dear! You look so beautiful today! You look just like a fairy!"

"

Cai Xiaotang immediately started showering Jiang Baobao with flattery as soon as she approached.

Jiang Baobao was still feeling a bit sleepy, and upon hearing this, she deliberately rolled her eyes: "Cut it out! No amount of sweet talk is going to work!"

"This isn't sweet talk! This is the heartfelt truth from the bottom of my heart!"

Cai Xiaotang acted coquettishly and leaned on Jiang Baobao's shoulder.

"Oh! You're so heavy!"

Jiang Baobao deliberately reached out to push her head away, and the two of them walked into the mall, chatting and laughing.

They wandered around for a while but couldn't make up their minds about what to buy.

"Isn't it really too early now? The mall doesn't even have any Christmas activities yet, and some things only come out in limited editions during the holidays; they haven't been released yet..."

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang was picking through things without choosing anything, Jiang Baobao advised her:

"Why don't we just look around for now? Don't be in a rush to buy; let's come back and browse again when it's closer to Christmas?"

"That works too... Let's just treat today as a way to confirm what we want to give as gifts."

"

As she spoke, Cai Xiaotang pulled Jiang Baobao into a men's clothing store.

They looked around, but still didn't find anything they liked.

However, Jiang Baobao noticed two familiar figures at the store entrance.

They were the two bodyguards who had been protecting Cai Xiaotang previously.

Jiang Baobao stared at the two men for a few seconds, a flash of confusion inevitably crossing her eyes.

"Sigh... still no suitable gifts..."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly sighed and walked over from the side of the shelf, standing beside Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, pondered for two seconds, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Xiao Tang, where is the bodyguard who was following you yesterday? How come they've been swapped back today?"

"Bodyguard?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, glanced at the two people outside the door, and her expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

The person who followed her yesterday was no bodyguard!

They were clearly a dangerous individual!

Could Baobao have discovered something?
