Chapter 631: I Have Nothing to Do With You

One week later—Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue finally ushered in the day of their wedding rehearsal.

In the afternoon—after the group had finished lunch, they planned to go to the wedding venue to run through the proceedings.

Upon arriving at the site, Cai Xiaotang discovered that it was completely different from the last time she had come to visit.

"Wow... isn't this too beautiful?"

She looked at the lawn where the official ceremony would be held tomorrow and the surrounding decorations in amazement, unable to close her mouth.

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of something and reminded her in her ear: "By the way, Xiao Tang, I forgot to tell you, Li Xiao will be coming over in a while..."

"Huh?"

The smile on Cai Xiaotang's face stiffened, and she asked subconsciously: "What is he coming here for?"

For this past week, the two of them had not had any contact.

Cai Xiaotang also rarely mentioned Li Xiao in front of Jiang Baobao, only giving perfunctory responses when she asked.

After speaking, she immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly remedied it: "Uh... I mean, isn't he quite busy lately?

How does he have time to come to the rehearsal? And there's nothing for him to do tomorrow, right? He just needs to come and attend..."

"He is going to lead Mobai and the others in tomorrow, so he also needs to come and confirm the positions."

Jiang Baobao explained, then looked at Cai Xiaotang with some confusion: "Aren't you happy that Li Xiao is coming here? You haven't seen each other for a week, have you? Don't you miss him at all?"

Cai Xiaotang:...

What is there to miss about that jerk!

A waste of time!

Cai Xiaotang complained silently in her heart, but she casually found an excuse to say: "It's alright..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly pointed into the distance to change the subject: "Look at Tiantian! How happy she is holding the bouquet!"

Jiang Baobao naturally looked in the direction she was pointing.

At a glance, she saw the three little ones chatting and laughing, though she didn't know what they were talking about.

For tomorrow's wedding, the three of them would serve as the flower children together.

Mobai and Yanbao would each carry a ring to make their entrance.

Tiantian would stand between the two of them, holding the bride's bouquet.

Then they would be led up by Li Xiao.

"Mommy!"

The three little ones felt Jiang Baobao's gaze and ran over with smiles.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang immediately began chatting and laughing with the little ones.

Not long after they started talking, Mobai suddenly pointed at the entrance with sharp eyes and said loudly: "Daddy and Third Great-Uncle are here! And Uncle Gu too!"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this and looked over subconsciously.

She happened to meet Li Xiao's gaze as he looked over.

As their eyes met, her heart felt a sudden pang of bitterness, and she instantly looked away.

Li Xiao also saw her evasion, but could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

After only a few seconds, the three of them walked over.

With everyone present, the rehearsal officially began.

Cai Xiaotang and Gu Ruohan stood in their designated spots as the bridesmaid and groomsman respectively.

The three little ones were also led to the side by Li Xiao, waiting to make their entrance.

Soon, everyone had run through the flow of events.

After confirming tomorrow's attire, the rings, and most importantly the on-site security, the group then left.

Gu Ruohan took the initiative to suggest: "Since everyone is here today, and there's a happy occasion tomorrow, why don't we go out for a meal tonight? Big President Li, I flew back from abroad specifically to be your groomsman, shouldn't you at least treat me to a meal?"

"I have no objections."

Jiang Baobao was the first to raise her hand in agreement.

Cai Xiaotang also chimed in: "I have no objections either."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Li Xiao beside her, then quickly withdrew her gaze.

"We should have a meal together."

Li Xiao also said.

The group was surprisingly unanimous in their opinion, and the three little ones were naturally even more willing, so the whole group went directly to a high-end restaurant nearby.

As soon as they were seated, Gu Ruohan waved his hand and said directly: "Since we're already here, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"Drink if you want to, I have important business tomorrow."

Li Beijue ruthlessly poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruohan immediately let his face fall: "Don't be like that, I'll drink until I drop, you can drink less, but at least keep us company for a couple of drinks, right? Little Uncle, don't you think so?"

Gu Ruohan wanted to recruit Li Xiao as a "comrade-in-arms."

Li Xiao shook his head with a smile, and thinking that he still had to be a groomsman tomorrow, he subconsciously wanted to persuade him otherwise.

But before he could speak, he heard Cai Xiaotang suddenly ask: "How is your alcohol tolerance?"

Her question was clearly directed at Gu Ruohan.

Gu Ruohan was not familiar with Cai Xiaotang, but as soon as he heard her ask, he instantly felt he had found a kindred spirit.

"Uh... Third Aunt? Can you drink?"

He was a bit conflicted about how to address Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang's expression stiffened: "You'd better just call me by my name, I don't mind."

Gu Ruohan raised an eyebrow, and seeing that the others didn't seem to have any objections, he directly called out with familiarity: "Xiao Tang, then shall I have someone bring the drinks?"

Li Xiao's brow twitched violently, and his hand gripping the wine glass suddenly tightened.

Xiao Tang?

Is this kid Gu Ruohan being too familiar?

A slight sourness rose in the bottom of his heart, yet he knew he had no standing to interfere, so he could only remain silent.

Jiang Baobao, however, advised them worriedly: "Do you really have to drink? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get up tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, Baobao, I know my limits..."

As soon as Cai Xiaotang saw Li Xiao, she felt a blockage in her heart and really couldn't help but want to have a couple of drinks.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to stop trying to block them and specifically had a waiter bring two bottles of red wine with a lower alcohol content.

As soon as the wine was brought over, Cai Xiaotang and Gu Ruohan each immediately poured themselves a glass.

Cai Xiaotang picked hers up, ready to drink.

But before her lips could even touch it, Li Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Drink slowly, don't drink too fiercely."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, and couldn't help but feel a bit angry again.

How she liked to drink was none of his business, was it?

Is he so fond of meddling?

Her gaze flickered for an instant, and she deliberately pretended not to hear him, downing the red wine in her glass in one go.

Li Xiao felt somewhat helpless all of a sudden.

Yet Gu Ruohan was still egging her on from the side: "What a great tolerance for alcohol! Come, come, let me pour you another glass!"

As he spoke, he poured another half-glass of wine for Cai Xiaotang.

Li Xiao was speechless and could only use his eyes to repeatedly warn Gu Ruohan.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't receive his signals at all.

With wine in her glass again, Cai Xiaotang immediately prepared to drink it.

Li Xiao simply reached out and pressed down on her hand.

"The food hasn't arrived yet; you'll get drunk if you drink this much now."

He frowned slightly, his expression carrying a hint of seriousness.

Cai Xiaotang glanced at the hand he was pressing against hers and only found it laughable.

What on earth is he thinking?

If he doesn't want her to misunderstand, then there is no need for him to meddle so much!

She paused for a moment, then reached out and pushed Li Xiao's hand away.

"I know my own limits; I won't get drunk."

Her tone was neither cold nor warm, and as she spoke, she drank another glass.

Jiang Baobao watched the interaction between the two without a word, unable to help but feel a little worried.

Xiao Tang and Li Xiao... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like there's nothing going on between them...
