Chapter 686: He Is in Perfect Health

Back in the room, Cai Xiaotang's expression was also somewhat preoccupied.

She took out her phone, checked the time, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's been almost half a month..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself in a low voice, her brows slightly furrowed.

They say it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone...

Could that guy Li Xiao really be planning to recuperate here for three months!

She wanted to get away from him as soon as possible and have some peace and quiet!

Once the divorce was finalized, she would...

While eating, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but start making plans for after she returned.

There was still some time before her vacation ended...

Why not change where she lived after going back and finishing the divorce procedures?

Although that viper was dead, who knew if there were others still watching her...

The security at the residential complex she lived in before was just too poor...

As she thought about this, an idea suddenly struck her. She hurriedly took out her phone, organized her thoughts, and called Mu Liusu.

The phone only rang twice before it was answered.

"Hello? You still remember this brother of yours? I thought you were so happy living in your own little world that you'd forgotten all about home."

As soon as he picked up the phone, Mu Liusu teased Cai Xiaotang directly.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she hurriedly replied with a guilty conscience: "Brother... how could I... I'm calling because I have something important to tell you!"

"I knew you had something, go ahead."

Mu Liusu replied casually.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang hurriedly say: "Brother, could I trouble you... to help me find a residential complex with better security? I want to buy an apartment... you help me apply for it, and I can pay off the mortgage myself..."

She had saved up quite a bit of money over the years, more than enough to afford an apartment.

"Buy an apartment? Aren't you living with Li Xiao?"

Mu Liusu was somewhat puzzled.

Cai Xiaotang had already thought of an excuse and hurriedly explained: "You know my personality; I don't want to be supported by anyone. Once my vacation ends, I have to go back to work... The villa where Li Xiao lives is too far from the city center, I find it inconvenient... When I'm working, I... we can live near the city center together!"

"That's true..."

Mu Liusu didn't suspect anything, then continued: "But if you want to buy an apartment, why do you need a mortgage? The money in your account is enough to buy ten apartments, or you could just ask Li Xiao..."

"I don't want to use that old man's money."

Cai Xiaotang refused without a second thought, knowing which card Mu Liusu was referring to.

She then hurriedly added: "Besides, it's not like I can't afford it myself, why should I rely on Li Xiao for everything? Furthermore, a man is never as reliable as a brother!"

On the other end of the line, Mu Liusu raised an eyebrow, feeling quite pleased because of her last sentence.

"Since that's the case, I'll let you know once I find a place."

He readily agreed.

Cai Xiaotang let out a sudden sigh of relief and hurriedly buttered him up: "I knew you were the best to me, Brother! You are simply the best brother in the whole world!"

"Hmph, glad you know."

Mu Liusu responded lazily, then suddenly thought of something and asked casually: "By the way, Li Xiao's injuries should be mostly healed by now. When do you two plan on coming back?"

Mentioning this, Cai Xiaotang felt a bit helpless and said listlessly: "I want to go back early too, but his injuries haven't healed yet..."

"Haven't healed yet?"

Mu Liusu was a bit surprised, then suddenly chuckled: "He's the type of person who can get out of bed the day after being shot; how could it possibly take this long this time? Tell him to come back as soon as he's better; I have a pile of things here waiting for him to handle."

"Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Otherwise?"

Mu Liusu asked back amusedly, then said: "I have some things to attend to here, I'll stop for now. Remember to pass on my message."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Cai Xiaotang held her phone, unable to stop pondering Mu Liusu's words just now.

【He is the type of person who can get out of bed the day after being shot.】

"Shot... and could get out of bed the next day?"

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but repeat the words, carefully recalling that person's behavior during this period.

Li Xiao's hand... although it was still in a cast, it really didn't seem to have any major issues...

Last week, he even specifically showed off his bass skills in front of her...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking, she suddenly heard her phone ring again.

She glanced at the screen, saw it was a call from Jiang Baobao, and hurriedly answered.

"Hello? Baobao! You still remember me!"

As soon as she answered, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but complain.

Ever since Jiang Baobao went on vacation, this was the first time they had spoken on the phone, aside from occasional contact on social media.

"How could I forget you! I haven't called because I was afraid of disturbing your little world with someone!"

Jiang Baobao replied with a smile, her voice sounding much more energetic than it had half a month ago.

Cai Xiaotang's expression, however, instantly became somewhat subtle.

Hearing that she didn't respond to her words, Jiang Baobao suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is the progress between the two of you not going well?"

"We..."

Cai Xiaotang stammered, hesitating over whether to tell the truth.

She had originally planned to tell Jiang Baobao about her intention to divorce once Jiang Baobao finished her wedding.

But she hadn't expected Tiantian to have an accident at the wedding, so the matter had been dragged out until now.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Jiang Baobao didn't know what was going on with her and hurriedly pressed for an answer.

Cai Xiaotang hesitated for a moment, then finally admitted helplessly: "Baobao... I plan to give up."

"Huh? You're going to give up? Don't you like Li Xiao anymore?"

Jiang Baobao's face was full of surprise.

Cai Xiaotang's tone instantly became somewhat defeated: "So what if I like him? He doesn't like me... I'd better stop asking for trouble..."

"A twisted melon isn't sweet; I still understand that principle."

"But giving up so easily doesn't seem like your style..."

Jiang Baobao felt a bit of regret for the two of them and still wanted to try to persuade her.

"He has someone he likes."

Cai Xiaotang interrupted Jiang Baobao, and although she tried hard to control her emotions, her voice still sounded a bit muffled.

This time, it was Jiang Baobao who fell silent.

She processed this news for a moment before asking uncertainly: "How do you know?"

"I just know, anyway..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered in a low voice, not wanting her good friend to know that she had already been rejected to her face.

"This..."

Jiang Baobao was also in a bit of a bind for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Could it be that her intuition was wrong?

But when Li Xiao was with Xiao Tang, he clearly cared about her!

That kind of subconscious display of affection couldn't possibly be faked!
