Chapter 605: I Really Do Like Li Xiao

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Cai Xiaotang was silent for a long while, then smiled at Jiang Baobao in a somewhat ingratiating manner and explained in a low voice, "Baobao, don't be anxious yet. I need to explain this to you slowly..."

Jiang Baobao nodded and listened silently as she continued.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang recall everything carefully, telling her everything from when she first met Li Xiao on her business trip up to the present.

Jiang Baobao was able to remain calm at first, but the more she heard, the more she couldn't help but be astonished.

"He... he is... he has that kind of status, and you actually dared to marry him?"

Jiang Baobao looked incredulous and couldn't help but reach out a finger to poke Cai Xiaotang's head.

"I think you've really gone silly! When encountering such a big thing, you actually didn't even consult me. Although Li Xiao's status shouldn't be known by too many people, surely I wouldn't go around telling others? Deciding to get married so hastily is just too thoughtless!"

Jiang Baobao felt somewhat helpless, but felt even more worried.

The doubts in her heart were finally answered.

No wonder Xiao Tang needed people to protect her wherever she went...

No wonder she always felt that the two bodyguards following Xiao Tang didn't look like ordinary people...

So they were all Li Xiao's subordinates!

"Baobao... don't be angry anymore... I shouldn't have kept it from you. I promise you, just this once! I won't lie to you ever again, okay?

I promise to tell you everything in detail!"

Seeing that Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat serious, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly grabbed her hand and began to act spoiled.

Jiang Baobao's expression did not soften in the slightest, and she hurriedly asked again, "Then what do you plan to do in the future? Just like this, tied together for a lifetime without any feelings?"

"Of course not! We two have an agreement in advance; once his affairs are all resolved, we will go straight to get a divorce..."

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she suddenly thought of her feelings for Li Xiao over this period of time, and she couldn't help but let her voice grow quieter as she spoke.

Jiang Baobao also hurriedly asked, "Then has he told you when the matter will be resolved? How could this kind of struggle between gangs end in just three or two days? What if ten or twenty years pass by then? Are you going to go get a divorce at that time?"

Jiang Baobao was thinking quite far ahead and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"This... we'll talk about it when the time comes... maybe there will be some variables, you never know..."

"What other variables could there be? That you get kidnapped by someone else again?" Jiang Baobao couldn't help but retort, then without waiting for Cai Xiaotang to reply, she continued, "Your acting skills are really getting more and more superb! I didn't notice a thing!"

As she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little angry again.

Cai Xiaotang, however, suddenly paused slightly, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

"Baobao... actually..."

She spoke intermittently, hesitating whether or not to reveal her feelings for Li Xiao.

"What's wrong? Is there something else you're hiding from me?"

Jiang Baobao saw through her hesitation at a glance and instantly looked at her with vigilance: "Comrade Cai Xiaotang! I'm warning you! If there is anything else, you had better confess it all to me right now!"

"Alright, alright, alright! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Cai Xiaotang dared not hide anything further and hurriedly whispered, "I just... feel... that maybe... not getting a divorce wouldn't be bad either... because I think I might be a little... a little bit in love..."

She said it with some difficulty, and her face turned red for once.

Jiang Baobao had already understood something from her fragmented words and asked back in surprise, "You wouldn't have actually fallen for Li Xiao, would you?"

"Mm... it seems... a little bit..."

Cai Xiaotang smiled awkwardly at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao: "..."

She didn't know what else to say.

"Are you serious?"

Jiang Baobao was silent for a long while before asking uncertainly.

Cai Xiaotang nodded very solemnly: "I am serious. Do you remember... the question I asked you that day?"

"The question?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized: "I remember now! I was wondering why you suddenly asked me such a strange question... It really was you! And you said some friend asked you..."

Jiang Baobao looked at Cai Xiaotang with a helpless expression, both angry and amused.

Fearing that she would be angry, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly grabbed her hand and began to act spoiled again: "Didn't I have my reasons a few days ago... Now that you know everything, I really have told you everything!"

"Fine, I'll believe you this once!"

Jiang Baobao finally relented.

"Hehe! I knew you were the best to me!"

Cai Xiaotang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in her heart finally dropped completely.

The feeling of letting out a secret is really good...

She finally doesn't have to hide anything from Baobao anymore!

Outside the hospital room—Li Beijue also cornered Li Xiao against the wall.

Neither of them spoke first; with just one look, they both understood the other's meaning.

"When did you find out?"

Li Xiao asked first.

Li Beijue answered truthfully: "Recently. Do you still not intend to tell me the truth?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao's expression immediately became somewhat helpless.

"I didn't let you investigate, naturally, it was for your own good. You saw it yourself, how dangerous it was today; why risk your life?"

"Then why did you risk your life? If something happened to you, what would Grandfather do? I just want to know what exactly you are doing."

"Don't you already know?"

Li Xiao asked back with a smile.

"I need to know more specifically, are you... doing some..."

Li Beijue weighed his words, not knowing how to continue for a moment.

Li Xiao simply took over the conversation and continued: "I am indeed doing some dangerous things, and the level of danger far exceeds your imagination. In fact, for a long time now, I have already planted people in the Old Residence and Li Corporation, patrolling in secret every day to prevent the other side from making a move."

"Li Corporation and the Old Residence?"

Li Beijue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"Yes, as for Li Mansion, they won't target it for the time being, so the focus should only be on your grandfather's place and the company."

"Then... is there anything I can help with? Two people taking risks is always better than one. As long as you tell me what exactly you are doing, I can keep it a secret for you and not let anyone know."

Li Beijue was still not quite clear about Li Xiao's identity, so he continued to inquire, feeling uneasy.

Li Xiao, however, gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this.

"At this point, we have long been grasshoppers on the same boat. You have taken down several of their companies, and their kidnapping of Baobao today was no accident, so..."

As he spoke, Li Xiao could not help but pause, feeling conflicted inside.

However, since things had reached this point, not only Li Beijue, but Jiang Baobao would also certainly want to get to the bottom of it out of concern for Xiao Tang...

Should he really tell them?
