Chapter 693: Cai Xiaotang, you really have done something impressive

Aze did not speak.

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang was truly looking bewildered, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He did not answer, but instead deliberately drew out his tone and asked in return, "Then... who do you think I am?"

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang blankly repeated his words, her brain a jumbled mess, struggling to open her eyes to try and see the other person's face clearly.

Yet she happened to catch the smile in those peach-blossom eyes.

He... looks... so young...

Much younger... than that bastard Li Xiao...

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself in her heart, and suddenly, the face of a certain person flashed vividly in her mind, overlapping with the young boy in front of her.

She suddenly froze, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

"I... have I really done something impressive?"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly asked herself.

"Huh?"

Aze didn't quite understand her logic, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Immediately after, he heard Cai Xiaotang mutter to herself: "I... have done something impressive... to actually dare to... hook up with... a male college student..."

"Pfft—!"

Hearing her answer, Aze finally couldn't hold back his wild laughter any longer.

No way?

She actually thought he was a male college student she had paid for?

Does he look that much like a gigolo?

Aze was caught between laughter and tears; seeing her still looking dazed and struggling to keep her eyes open, he suddenly couldn't resist the urge to tease her.

"Ahem..."

He gave a light cough, deliberately lowered his voice, leaned in close to Cai Xiaotang's face, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, big sister, I did take your money... who knew you'd fall asleep the moment you got back? If you don't do something... you'll be the one at a loss..."

As Aze asked this, he watched with great interest to see what kind of reaction Cai Xiaotang would have.

Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, Cai Xiaotang was stunned, a look of confusion and disbelief appearing on her face.

"Money?"

She carefully tried to recall whether she had actually given money to the person in front of her.

Then, she felt the other person suddenly lean even closer!

"That's right, big sister, you gave me quite a lot of money..."

Aze pressed his lips together tightly, barely able to contain his laughter.

"Oh..."

Cai Xiaotang responded blankly, her thoughts still chaotic, relying only on instinct to think.

No...

How could she do such a thing?

"Big sister? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Aze's voice rang in her ear again, making Cai Xiaotang inexplicably irritated.

She was still thinking, okay!

Why did he keep interrupting her train of thought!

Cai Xiaotang suddenly turned her head and met Aze's eyes.

Not expecting him to move so suddenly, Aze forgot to retreat for a moment and couldn't help but freeze as well.

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang finally responded; as she spoke, she squinted her eyes and leaned in a few inches closer to him.

The distance between them hadn't been far to begin with.

Aze had previously been controlling the distance between them.

With Cai Xiaotang leaning in so abruptly, the distance was shortened significantly instead.

Aze held his breath instantly and subconsciously retreated a little.

But the moment he moved, Cai Xiaotang leaned in again.

"Big sister, you..."

A trace of panic appeared in the depths of Aze's eyes; his earlier prank vanished without a trace, and he couldn't help but feel a flush of red on his face.

It's over... the joke went too far...

She wouldn't actually think he was someone she "kept" as a lover, would she!

Is this woman drunk? Or just sleepy and confused?

"Hahahahaha!"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly burst into laughter, and while laughing, she collapsed onto a pillow not far away!

"You... little brat... stop trying to act like an adult... flirting... I have no interest in little kids... I..."

She seemed unable to hold on any longer, her voice becoming weak and listless.

Before she could finish the second half of the sentence, "I already have someone I like," she fell asleep again.

Aze stiffened, looking at her with instant displeasure.

Who is this woman calling a little brat?

He is not!

Aze stood up, displeased, casually grabbed his computer from the table, and looked helplessly at the person lying on the sofa.

She had fallen asleep again just like that?

Was she really not on guard at all?

His face was still a little flushed; he stood there for a long while, but still reached out to tuck the blanket in for Cai Xiaotang and adjusted her position on the pillow before turning to head into the suite.

Since someone was sleeping so soundly on the sofa, the room would belong to him tonight!

A good night's sleep—early the next morning, Cai Xiaotang was woken up by the sound of an alarm clock.

She kept her eyes closed and fumbled around blindly, but failed to find her phone.

Finally, with her sleepiness completely driven away by the noise, she had no choice but to flip over and sit up abruptly!

And then she nearly fell headfirst onto the floor!

"Damn..."

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly steadied herself, scanned the room, and only then realized the sound was coming from the bedroom.

She stood dazed for two seconds, then hurriedly jumped off the sofa, ran into the room to find her phone, and turned off the alarm.

Only then did she realize, belatedly, that there was no one left in the room.

"How did I end up sleeping on the sofa yesterday?"

She muttered to herself, looking at the clear signs that the bed in the bedroom had been used.

She blinked, carefully recalling the events of last night, when she suddenly noticed what looked like a card placed on the nightstand.

She hurried over and picked it up.

Then she saw a string of flamboyant, cursive handwriting on it.

【Thank you for the hospitality, sugar mama. I have things to do, so I'm leaving first. See you if fate allows.】

"Sugar mama?"

Cai Xiaotang stared at this bizarre title for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed.

As her hazy memories from last night returned, thinking about how she had actually mistaken someone for "that kind" of college student, Cai Xiaotang's expression became incredibly colorful, yet she also felt a sense of relief.

It was a good thing he had left early in the morning...

Otherwise, it would have been too awkward!

But the world was so big, it was unlikely they would run into each other again anyway... no big deal!

Cai Xiaotang frantically comforted herself in her heart, checked the time, and quickly began to pack up.

She washed up in a flash, then grabbed her luggage and went to check out.

She then went to the entrance and hailed a taxi.

After finishing all this, she finally picked up her phone and carefully looked at the unread messages from last night.

Sure enough, aside from news notifications, there were no calls or texts.

It seemed the matter was truly over...

Li Xiao and his people still hadn't discovered that she had run away...

Since she no longer needed protection, she should be able to get a divorce smoothly after going back, right?

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, forcibly ignored the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and put her phone back into her bag.

Not long after—the car pulled up outside the airport.

Cai Xiaotang paid and got out, looking at the airport scenery, unable to describe what she was feeling.

Everything had settled.

She, too, should return to her original life path.

This time spent with Li Xiao...

Let's just treat it as having had a peculiar dream.

From now on, she was still that Cai Xiaotang who could live very happily all on her own!
