Chapter 676: Hurry Back and Get Divorced

With the company of Mobai and Yanbao, Tiantian's mood recovered quite a bit.

After a simple day of rest, Li Beijue prepared to take a few people to the Maldives for a vacation.

Before leaving, Cai Xiaotang reluctantly saw Jiang Baobao and the three little ones off at the door.

Li Xiao also followed them out.

"Godmother, are you really not coming with us?"

Mobai also pulled on Cai Xiaotang with reluctance, looking at her with some anticipation.

Jiang Baobao also joined in to persuade her: "That's right, Xiao Tang, why don't you come with us..."

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly waved her hands to refuse: "No, no, I'll just stay here. It just so happens that my brother is here too, and I still have some things to discuss with him."

Cai Xiaotang casually found an excuse and, with a hint of amusement, pushed Jiang Baobao's shoulders toward the car.

Just kidding!

She was not going to be a third wheel!

The two of them had been through so much, it was time for them to enjoy some time as a couple!

If she followed along to disturb them at a time like this, wouldn't she be completely lacking in social awareness?

While thinking this, Cai Xiaotang spoke up loudly: "As for you! Now that you finally have time and the troubles have all been resolved, just go and have a good vacation! I wish you both a great time! We'll see you back in the country when your vacation is over! Enjoy your time as a couple... who knows, maybe when you come back, you'll be able to add another little brother or sister for the three of them..."

"Xiao Tang!!!"

Jiang Baobao blushed at her words and gave her an annoyed look, deciding to say no more.

"Call me if anything happens."

Li Xiao gave Li Beijue a word of instruction.

"Mm."

Li Beijue responded, started the car, and left.

Watching the group drive away, Cai Xiaotang finally intended to turn and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as she made a move, she suddenly heard the person beside her say in a low voice: "I might have to trouble you to cook for the next two days."

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps faltered, and she suddenly realized something.

Oh, right...

Baobao isn't here, and there are no servants here, so does that mean she would have to serve this guy Li Xiao for this period of time!

She calmly glanced at the arm that the person still had wrapped in a cast, her mood suddenly becoming complicated.

"Can't we just order takeout here?"

She asked with annoyance.

Li Xiao immediately laughed: "The speed of food delivery in this country... if you order now, you might be able to eat it as a midnight snack."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

So it really was her who had to serve him?

Why?

Cai Xiaotang felt inexplicably angry and hurriedly said: "Then you can go back to the country. Since the matter is already resolved, there will be someone to serve you once you go back."

"I'm afraid that won't work yet."

Li Xiao shook his head: "I still have some things to handle here, so I can't go back for the time being."

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang had practically written "I don't want to deal with you" all over her face, he suddenly had an idea: "Of course, I won't let you take care of me for nothing. How about this: you stay here with me for a few more days, and then we go back together. As a reward, you can make a request, or if there is anything you want, you can tell me directly. How about that?"

His tone carried a hint of doting that even he hadn't noticed; the mere thought of the two of them being alone together for this period of time made him feel inexplicably happy.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was reminded of something by his words and suddenly turned around with a dark face.

"I actually do have one thing I need you to do."

Her expression looked even more serious than before, and her hands hanging by her sides clenched involuntarily, her heart twitching.

"What is it?"

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment; he suddenly had a premonition of what she wanted to say.

Cai Xiaotang did not answer immediately.

She took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and said with a firm tone: "I have already said everything that needed to be said very clearly before. If you really want to do something for me, please just go back quickly and get our divorce papers processed so that we can be square."

Cai Xiaotang spoke at a rapid pace, as if she were afraid that if she spoke too slowly, she would hesitate.

Li Xiao had long expected that this was what she wanted to say, but his heart still sank, feeling a bit stifled.

No divorce.

He didn't want a divorce.

But...

Cai Xiaotang stared stubbornly at Li Xiao, waiting for his answer.

Li Xiao, however, remained silent, his ink-black eyes fixed on hers, as if hiding all his emotions in the depths of his gaze.

The two of them stood in a silent stalemate.

Just then— "Why are you two standing here?"

Mu Liusu's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

He had woken up late and didn't expect that when he came out of his room, there would be no one left in the villa, so he had come out to look for them.

"Brother."

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and hurriedly greeted Mu Liusu, feeling a bit guilty.

Surely he hadn't heard what she and Li Xiao were just saying, right?

Otherwise, given her brother's personality, he would definitely start interrogating her immediately about why she wanted a divorce!

Mu Liusu indeed did not notice anything unusual about the two of them and just asked Li Xiao: "Since you are injured, shall I handle the people from the Poison Snake?"

"Alright."

Li Xiao agreed, then immediately added, "Since Linke has lost the Viper, he will likely scout for a new candidate to do his bidding. I will stay behind to observe for a few more days to see if I can gather any information; I'll treat it as recuperating from my injuries while I'm at it."

"That works."

Mu Liusu had no objections to this arrangement either.

Cai Xiaotang listened to the two of them talking from the side; her gaze couldn't help but sweep over Li Xiao before she quickly retracted it.

So this guy really did have business staying here... he wasn't just deliberately stalling for time...

Just as she was silently grumbling to herself, she suddenly heard Mu Liusu say, "I don't have much time either; I'm taking the afternoon flight back. If anything comes up, we'll stay in touch by phone..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately said without a second thought, "Brother, I'm going with you!"

"You're coming with me?"

Mu Liusu was taken aback by this; he instinctively looked at Li Xiao, then turned his head to look at Cai Xiaotang and asked, "Aren't you staying here to take care of him?"

His expression was somewhat puzzled, and he narrowed his eyes in thought.

"Li Xiao, did you upset Xiao Tang?"

Mu Liusu's tone was somewhat dangerous.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Never expecting that a single sentence of hers would cause "trouble" for someone, Cai Xiaotang's expression became instantly colorful.

Just as she didn't know how to answer, the next second, she felt her hand being grabbed.

Li Xiao's doting voice, filled with a smile, rang out at the same time.

"How could I bear to upset her? But between a husband and wife, some small conflicts are normal. She's just saying things out of anger; of course, I have to keep her here to coax her back to a good mood..."

As he spoke, his fingers gently rubbed against the back of Cai Xiaotang's hand.

Cai Xiaotang felt a shiver run through her entire body; she glared at him in annoyance, but her face uncontrollably flushed hot.

That big jerk Li Xiao!

Taking advantage of the situation to grope her again!

Mu Liusu: "..."

Why did he have to be so serious about caring for the two of them?

He felt like he had just been forced to witness a display of affection.
