Chapter 689: Angered into Running Away from Home

An atmosphere named awkwardness drifted through the air.

Li Xiao could not care about being caught red-handed, and asked with concern: "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly faint?"

Cai Xiaotang listened to his concerned tone and felt a moment of guilty conscience.

Immediately after, she could not help but start getting angry again.

He still had the nerve to ask?

If he hadn't faked fainting, how could he have been exposed so quickly!

No wonder her brother said that someone who had been shot could still get out of bed the next day!

This bit of injury was nothing to him at all!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, did not answer his question, and could not help but ask back sarcastically: "You were actually still able to carry me? With my weight, and your hand that was already injured, wouldn't that just be adding frost to snow and ruining it completely?"

Li Xiao listened to her tone and could not help but sigh deeply in his heart.

"I was just worried about you..."

"Worried enough to suddenly recover in an instant?"

Cai Xiaotang did not give him a chance to explain and struggled to jump down from his arms.

"No wonder my brother said your body is in great shape, it seems it's true. Since you have the strength to carry me now, why did you specifically use your left hand to catch the bowl when I accidentally spilled the soup earlier?"

"I..."

Li Xiao had no way to defend himself.

Cai Xiaotang sneered: "Don't say I saw it wrong. When sparring with someone, you have to see every move the opponent makes to make the most effective counterattack; you were the one who taught me that."

"It is true that I taught you that."

Li Xiao smiled helplessly, still wanting to hide it: "My injury really hasn't recovered; it was already a struggle to pick you up just now..."

"Is that so?"

Cai Xiaotang feigned surprise, then suggested: "If that's the case, why don't I accompany you to the Hospital to take a look? We can take an X-ray on the spot and see exactly how well it has recovered."

Li Xiao: "..."

He couldn't escape it today, could he?

"How about it? Are you going or not? Or is it that you were actually fine all along, so you don't dare to agree to me, because if we go to the Hospital, the truth will come out."

Cai Xiaotang had already confirmed her conjecture from his reaction, and her tone had unconsciously turned somewhat cold.

"Xiao Tang, I..."

Li Xiao wanted to explain.

But Cai Xiaotang had already walked past him and headed straight upstairs.

"Whether your injury is healed or not, I am going to prepare to return to my country! This lady is too lazy to wait on you! You can just perform your one-man show here by yourself!"

She threw down these harsh words, stomped on the stairs until they thudded, and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Li Xiao could only stand where he was, listening to her slam the bedroom door shut, his face full of helplessness.

To think he was discovered just like that...

It was all because of that big mouth Mu Liusu!

Why did she have to chat with her about him!

Now he was in trouble!

Li Xiao frowned tightly, trying hard to think of a way to remedy the situation.

Upstairs—

Cai Xiaotang was sitting on the edge of the bed, pouting, her face full of fury.

That big jerk, big liar Li Xiao!

His injury was clearly already healed!

Did he think it was fun to deceive her like this?

Or did it give him a sense of accomplishment?

Anyway, no matter the reason, it was too much!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, still feeling that the anger in her heart hadn't dissipated, and couldn't help but pick up the pillow at her side and punch it twice fiercely.

Then she heard—

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Three light sounds, seemingly carrying a hint of caution.

She didn't need to guess to know who had come; Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes at the door in annoyance, with no intention of opening it at all.

"Xiao Tang, are you already asleep?"

Li Xiao's voice rang out from outside the door.

Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes even higher.

He could at least come up with a more believable excuse.

It was only eight o'clock in the evening, what kind of sleep was she supposed to be getting?

Her lips pressed into a straight line, and she still deliberately did not reply.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao say: "I prepared some hot milk for you; if you are going to sleep, you can drink a little first..."

"NO! NEED!"

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but shout a reply, her nameless fire burning even brighter.

Why did he have to make a special trip to find her?

Didn't he know this was easy to cause misunderstandings!

The "little flame" in her heart for Li Xiao had never been extinguished; Cai Xiaotang simply pulled up the quilt, lay down, and covered her ears with her hands.

The sound of knocking rang out a few more times—

Li Xiao waited outside the door for a long time, and seeing that she was determined not to open it, he had no choice but to turn and leave.

Inside the room—

Cai Xiaotang estimated that enough time had passed, only then taking her hands off her ears, pricking up her ears toward the outside of the door.

Immediately, she heard that it was quiet outside, without a single sound.

"Gone?"

She muttered in a low voice, instantly kicking off the quilt and breathing in the fresh air in big gulps.

It's best that he's gone!

She was afraid that if she saw a certain person's face right now, she wouldn't be able to help but want to punch him!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang sat up from the bed and grabbed her phone.

But after staring at the screen for a long time, her mind was still filled with matters concerning a certain person.

Cai Xiaotang was incredibly annoyed and simply threw the phone to the side.

It's all that guy Li Xiao's fault!

How dared he use his injuries to deceive her?

Was it just to make her stay and wait on him for a few more days?

How dare he!

The more Cai Xiaotang thought about it, the angrier she became; her gaze couldn't help but dart around the room, finally slowly settling on the windowsill not far away.

She seemed to have thought of something, sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, staring in the direction of the window.

Then, not knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed!

She had decided!

She would return to the country first thing tomorrow morning!

She didn't want to stay here for even one more second!

Let that certain person stay here and slowly recover from his injuries!

Even if he takes a year or a year and a half to recover, it has nothing to do with her!

No, wait...

They still have to get a divorce; a year or a year and a half is too long to be delayed!

Cai Xiaotang's mind was a mess, but her hands were moving quickly, having already packed a small backpack.

Ten o'clock at night—

The hallway was quiet, and there wasn't a single person there.

Cai Xiaotang carefully pushed open the room door, lightened her footsteps, and walked down the stairs without making a sound.

She chose not to leave through the front door, but instead went straight to the garden in the back, cautiously avoiding all the security cameras, and arrived in front of a narrow corner.

"This spot... should be about right, right?"

Cai Xiaotang was a little nervous, a complex look flashing in her eyes, mixed with a hint of reluctance, which then immediately turned into determination.

There was no time to hesitate.

She had already run all the way here, so she had to leave today!

Thinking this, she hung her backpack on the garden railing and stepped directly onto the edge of the wall corner!

Then, with an easy leap, she relied on the advantage of her long legs to successfully vault over the railing!

She hadn't expected it to be this easy, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, she hurriedly took down her bag, took one last deep look in the direction of the villa, and turned to leave without hesitation.

It was over.

After she returned to the country tomorrow morning, she would just have to wait for Li Xiao to return.

Once he returned...

They would get a divorce.
