Chapter 677: Soon to be an Ex-Husband

At dusk—Mu Liusu had also simply packed up, intending to leave the villa for the airport.

"Brother... are you really not staying for a few more days?"

Cai Xiaotang pulled on Mu Liusu, feeling somewhat reluctant to let go.

Even though everyone could still meet after returning to the country, having just seen Jiang Baobao off this morning and now having to send Mu Liusu away in the evening inexplicably made Cai Xiaotang feel a bit sad.

"I still have work to attend to when I go back."

Mu Liusu amusedly ruffled Cai Xiaotang's hair, and after finishing, looked at Li Xiao and warned: "With the two of you staying here, don't let me find out that you're bullying Xiao Tang, or making her unhappy..."

"Rest assured."

Li Xiao answered with amusement, waved his hand at Mu Liusu, and his gaze unconsciously flickered toward Cai Xiaotang beside him, a sudden, inexplicable anticipation rising in his heart.

Mu Liusu said nothing more, turned around, got in the car, and left.

Cai Xiaotang watched his car drive away until it was no longer visible, only then withdrawing her gaze, yet she stood rooted to the spot, feeling awkward in hindsight.

Tsk... to think it really was just herself and that guy Li Xiao left!

Who knows when he'll be able to go back...

Cai Xiaotang sighed helplessly in her heart, intending to ignore the other party directly, and turned to leave.

But just as she turned, she heard the other party ask very naturally: "What are we eating tonight?"

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps paused, and she looked up at the sky, speechless.

Right... until he goes back, she still has to be responsible for the food and daily life of a certain injured patient!

Cai Xiaotang was ten thousand times annoyed, but she also knew she couldn't really let someone go hungry, so after pondering for a moment, she had to say quickly: "Eat whatever there is, anyway, you won't starve to death."

She dropped the sentence and quickly lifted her feet to enter the villa.

Li Xiao was choked by her words, but he wasn't angry, just amusedly followed behind her and walked in together.

Cai Xiaotang deliberately wanted to avoid him and locked herself directly in her room.

It wasn't until the sky grew darker that she opened her bedroom door, intending to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

Cai Xiaotang pulled open the refrigerator and glanced at the ingredients stored inside.

Just as she was thinking about what to make, she heard that annoying voice ring out behind her again.

"Have you decided what to eat?"

Li Xiao didn't know when he had also come to the kitchen doorway, and was leaning against the door with his arms crossed.

Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes in speechlessness.

Is this guy a ghost?

How is he always haunting her, and walking without a sound!

She couldn't be bothered to speak, and thinking that he had to avoid certain foods due to his wounds, she simply grabbed a pack of pasta and some instant tomato meat sauce.

"Planning to make pasta?" Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, talking to Cai Xiaotang on his own initiative.

"You know the answer, why ask."

Cai Xiaotang glanced at him, having already filled a pot with water and placed it on the fire, her face full of annoyance.

Seeing this, Li Xiao finally couldn't help but ask with amusement: "Still angry at me?"

"Wouldn't call it that."

Cai Xiaotang replied quickly, and as she spoke, she had already poured the sauce into the pan, stirring it until it crackled, and continued to answer loudly: "It's just that I feel annoyed having to serve someone who is about to become my ex-husband before the divorce!"

Not expecting this answer, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"You..."

He opened his mouth, but with the words on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back down.

He had originally wanted to ask, "Do you want to divorce me that much?"

But he felt there was no need to ask; a certain person's behavior was already enough to explain everything.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, and he deliberately didn't answer, instead changing the subject quite stiffly: "I didn't expect you to be so skilled at cooking... looks like I'm in for a treat today..."

Cai Xiaotang's stirring motion paused slightly, and she didn't speak, though she gave a disdainful snort in her heart.

In for a treat?

What did he say when she made him breakfast back then?

It was good enough that she didn't add anything extra to the noodles!

Cai Xiaotang remained silent, her focused expression as if she were not making pasta, but some kind of state banquet dish.

Li Xiao had no choice but to be tactful and say no more, just standing obediently at the door, watching her finish boiling the noodles and putting them into the sauce that had already been heated.

Not long after, wisps of fragrance drifted through the kitchen.

With a "click," Cai Xiaotang turned off the fire, then moved quickly to pick up a plate from the side.

Without even looking at Li Xiao standing at the door, she quickly served her own portion and then strode toward the doorway.

When she passed by Li Xiao, she finally stopped.

Then she said quickly: "If you want to eat, serve it yourself. Your left hand isn't incapable of doing anything, is it?"

After finishing, Cai Xiaotang carried her plate and walked straight toward the stairs.

One look and it was clear she intended to go back to her room to eat.

Li Xiao watched her back, his eyes sinking abruptly, a flash of annoyance crossing his face.

This woman's temper is really...

He paused slightly, and seeing that Cai Xiaotang was already halfway up, he suddenly turned around and picked up a plate, but didn't rush to serve the noodles; instead, he pretended to accidentally let his hand slip—"Clatter!"

The clean, white plate shattered into pieces on the floor in an instant!

Cai Xiaotang on the stairs stopped abruptly and subconsciously looked toward the kitchen.

Then she saw a certain someone looking down at the broken plate on the floor, his right hand hanging in a sling unable to move, while his left hand was still maintaining the posture of holding the plate, making one feel inexplicably... pitiful.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Although Li Xiao kept his head lowered, his peripheral vision was fixed on the figure on the stairs, silently keeping track of the time in his heart.

One...

Two...

Three...

When he counted to three, Cai Xiaotang indeed moved, swiftly approaching the direction of the kitchen.

Li Xiao curled his lips silently, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already put on an expression of helplessness and embarrassment.

"Sorry, my left hand really isn't quite used to this, the plate was too slippery..."

He smiled at Cai Xiaotang, displaying just the right amount of bitterness on his face, and as he spoke, he hurriedly bent down.

"You go back and eat, I can clean this up myself..."

Cai Xiaotang's lips had long since formed a straight line, and seeing him about to reach out and touch the shattered porcelain shards, she finally couldn't help but slap the back of his hand with a *slap*!

"Get up! Stop causing trouble for me here!"

She said crossly, already turning around with swift movements to grab a broom, clearing all the shards to one side.

Then she took the noodles she had just served for herself and shoved them into Li Xiao's hands.

"Go eat."

Cai Xiaotang tossed out these two words aloofly.

"You're giving this portion to me?"

Li Xiao blinked deliberately, a trace of cunning amusement flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He knew it...

That little woman only looked tough-tempered; in reality, she was softer-hearted than anyone.
