Chapter 630: Let's Get a Divorce

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat scorching.

Li Xiao looked at the clearly furious Cai Xiaotang and gave a bitter laugh in his heart.

This was truly the worst possible answer.

However, he had no other choice.

Being with him would only lead to all sorts of dangers.

It was even possible... to lose her life directly.

He did not want to watch her court danger.

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, his peripheral vision suddenly caught Cai Xiaotang standing up abruptly from her chair!

Then she said calmly, "Since that's the case, let's get a divorce."

Her words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, instantly stunning Li Xiao where he stood.

Yet Cai Xiaotang felt not the slightest bit of regret.

She continued decisively, "Since you have someone you like, let's just pretend today's conversation never happened. It isn't appropriate for us to maintain our current relationship either, so let's just get a divorce."

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she prepared to turn and leave.

She had only taken one step when she suddenly stopped.

"By the way, I advise you, Mr. Li: since you have someone you like, you should watch your mouth in the future. Don't go around flirting with every woman you see, otherwise, the person you like won't stay with you!"

Cai Xiaotang was so angry that she even changed how she addressed him. After finishing, she strode directly into the living room without looking back.

Li Xiao sat in his original spot, listening to her walk away, but he did not get up; instead, he unhurriedly poured himself a glass of wine.

He took a sip with an expressionless face, feeling only bitterness and astringency in his mouth.

Being with the person he likes?

From the moment he chose this path, he had already lost that qualification.

If he were to force it, he would only harm others...

Upstairs—Cai Xiaotang stormed back to her room, slamming the door with a thunderous sound.

She could not stop her mind from recalling the ambiguous moments they had shared.

His deliberate approach at the entrance of the strawberry patch.

The smiling look in his eyes when they were taking wedding photos.

And during her training, his unreserved physical contact and the occasional "flirtatious" remarks that would slip out.

"Damn it! Stop thinking about it!"

Cai Xiaotang knocked her own head twice, trying to drive the shadow of a certain person out of there.

"Dead scumbag Li Xiao! You have someone you like and you still come to flirt with others!"

Cai Xiaotang cursed in anger, her eyes suddenly sweeping over the phone she had placed to the side.

She rushed over, grabbed it, hesitated for two seconds, and then threw it back onto the bed.

Forget it...

Baobao is busy preparing for her wedding; she shouldn't be bothered with these things right now.

Whatever it is, it can wait until after her wedding is over.

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her chest felt increasingly stifled, and she even found the room she was currently staying in to be an eyesore.

She suddenly saw the suitcase she had tossed into the corner when she returned, and her eyes instantly lit up.

Without another word, she rushed over, opened the suitcase, and began to pack.

Half an hour later—"Asura, Miss Cai is packing her luggage to leave. Should we stop her?"

A subordinate ran into the garden to report Cai Xiaotang's situation to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao's hand holding the wine glass paused, and he shook his head.

"No need, let her go. Have someone follow her closely; she is likely heading to Li Mansion. Just watch her enter the door."

Li Xiao had roughly guessed where Cai Xiaotang wanted to go.

The subordinate acknowledged the order and left. Not long after, Li Xiao received a message from the other party.

【Miss Cai has already set off. Judging by the direction, she is indeed heading to Li Mansion.】

Li Xiao put away his phone without replying, his mind filled with the last few sentences Cai Xiaotang had just said.

Divorce...

She was certainly decisive.

Whether it was a confession or a breakup, she was incredibly straightforward.

It was just that... he didn't want to let her go so quickly yet.

Let him be selfish just this once...

Once the matter is resolved, if she still wants to leave at that time, he will let her be.

For now, ensuring her safety is the priority.

On the other side—Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue were checking the "homework" of the three little ones.

Tiantian had suddenly developed an interest in the piano during this time and was proudly showing off a newly learned piece to the two of them and her two older brothers.

Zheng Bo suddenly came over.

"Young Madam, Third Madam has suddenly arrived..."

Zheng Bo whispered into Jiang Baobao's ear.

"Xiao Tang is here?"

Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised; she hurriedly stood up, signaled for Li Beijue to remain where he was, and followed Zheng Bo out.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Cai Xiaotang sitting on the sofa, looking puffed up with anger.

"Xiao Tang? What's wrong? Why did you come over suddenly without telling me in advance?"

Jiang Baobao hurriedly sat down beside her.

The next second—"Baobao..."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly hugged Jiang Baobao, looking aggrieved, and buried her face in her shoulder.

Jiang Baobao was startled by her tone; she hurriedly patted her shoulder to soothe her, guessing in her heart that it must have something to do with Li Xiao.

"Alright, this is the living room; let's go back to your room first before we talk, okay?"

As she persuaded her, she pulled Cai Xiaotang up to her feet.

The two returned to the room, and only then did she ask, "Xiao Tang, did something happen between you and Li Xiao?"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment; she shook her head and did not speak.

Jiang Baobao, however, did not believe her: "How could there be nothing wrong? You were so excited when you took the photos back, and now that only a few days have passed, you've run back here—there must be a problem! I haven't even asked you how things went after you went back last time!"

Jiang Baobao looked at Cai Xiaotang with a certain expression on her face.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly adjusted her expression to cover it up: "After I went back last time, everything was normal. Li Xiao didn't say anything when he saw the photos; he just said they were taken quite well..."

"Then what is wrong with you today?"

Jiang Baobao insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang stammer: "It's nothing... it's just... I feel like Li Xiao... is too much of a 'straight man.' Every time I like someone, I run into this kind of 'hard mode.' It's too difficult to deal with, and I feel a bit emotionally exhausted, so I just missed you..."

"Is it really just that?"

Jiang Baobao looked at Cai Xiaotang suspiciously.

Cai Xiaotang nodded heavily at once: "Really! I swear! Besides, you're getting married in two days, and I still have to be your bridesmaid. There will be rehearsals and such, so it's more convenient for me to stay here with you..."

She had found a reason that could not have been more appropriate.

Jiang Baobao thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so she had no choice but to stop pressing her.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, then Cai Xiaotang made an excuse that she was a bit tired and intended to rest, leaving herself alone in the room.

She closed the bedroom door, washed up briefly, and lay straight down on the bed, but she did not feel sleepy at all.

The things that happened tonight were truly too profound; it was impossible for anyone to forget them even if they wanted to.

"Bastard..."

Thinking of what Li Xiao had said, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but curse in a low voice again, clenching her fists tightly.

From now on, she would no longer like Li Xiao!

The person that she, Cai Xiaotang, wants must only have her in his heart for the rest of his life!
