Chapter 698: She Is With Another Man

Cai Xiaotang stared at the phone for a few seconds, then quickly grabbed it, pressed mute, and had no intention of answering.

Liu Xin'ai watched all her actions in silence, and couldn't help but feel a bit worried between her brows.

The call just now was from Li Xiao...

Had they really had a fight?

Just as Liu Xin'ai was wondering whether to ask, Cai Xiaotang's phone screen lit up again.

Cai Xiaotang hung up without hesitation, and finally unable to hold back, she casually found a topic: "Otherwise... why don't the three of us find something to do? We can't just sit here drinking tea all afternoon, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Xin'ai asked back, very cooperative.

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang also felt a bit troubled, not knowing what to do for a moment...

Playing mahjong requires four people, and they only had three...

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Liu Qingze, who was to the side, speak up: "Do you want to play games? I have the equipment in my bedroom."

"Play games?"

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, her expression a bit hesitant.

She didn't have any issues with it, but Xinaijie... would she know how to play those things?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard Liu Xin'ai say with a smile: "That's fine too. Since you two get along, playing games this afternoon will pass the time, and it's just as well for me to go back to my room and rest."

"Then it's settled!"

Liu Qingze snapped his fingers and flipped up from the sofa.

Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to stop saying anything and got up to follow.

The three of them went upstairs together; Liu Xin'ai returned to her room first, while Cai Xiaotang walked toward Liu Qingze's room with him.

"Sister, what can you play?"

Liu Qingze asked casually.

"I can play anything! I'm actually very good at playing games!"

Cai Xiaotang was unimpressed, and even blinked at Liu Qingze with a hint of provocation.

After all, her best friend was the owner of a Team!

Although she wasn't as good as Jiang Baobao and those brats from the Team, she was still pretty awesome compared to ordinary people!

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see."

Liu Qingze curled his lips, noncommittal.

The two were chatting casually, and just as they reached the door of the room, Cai Xiaotang's phone suddenly lit up again.

Her footsteps faltered, and she subconsciously glanced down, discovering that it was indeed Li Xiao again.

Cai Xiaotang sighed helplessly in her heart.

Otherwise... should she just answer it?

Given Li Xiao's ability... he would surely find out where she had gone very quickly; if that guy just charged over, wouldn't that be causing trouble for Xinaijie?

Maybe she should just tell him...

"You go ahead, I'll take a call first."

Cai Xiaotang shook her phone and turned to lean against the railing not far away.

Liu Qingze nodded and went into his room.

Cai Xiaotang pondered for two seconds, walked a few steps further away, and only then answered the phone.

"Hello? Something up?"

She asked bluntly right from the start.

"Where are you right now?"

Li Xiao's tone was a bit anxious, but hearing that she was safe, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

As soon as he got off the plane, he had called the villa, only to learn that Cai Xiaotang hadn't gone back at all!

According to the plane's landing time, she should have arrived long ago!

He immediately had people search and hurriedly called Cai Xiaotang, only getting through just now.

"I'm at a friend's house."

Cai Xiaotang answered truthfully.

"A friend? What friend?"

Li Xiao asked subconsciously.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was unwilling to tell him that much, only brushing him off: "Of course it's my own friend. I'm staying with her for a bit, you don't need to worry about it."

"You..."

Li Xiao was left speechless by her retort, a belly full of questions stuck on the tip of his tongue.

What did staying at a friend's house mean?

How long did she plan to stay?

Was she... coming back?

Apart from Baobao, he didn't seem to have heard her mention any other friends...

"Anything else?"

Cai Xiaotang's voice sounded again, carrying a hint of urgency.

Li Xiao moved his mouth, just about to ask when she would return so he could pick her up, when the next second— "Sister, do you want to battle in a bit?"

A very young-sounding boy's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, making Li Xiao freeze in shock.

Cai Xiaotang also hadn't expected Liu Qingze to suddenly come out to find her; she froze, a flash of panic quickly crossing her eyes.

Li Xiao must have heard it!

What if he misunderstood...

Cai Xiaotang thought, and suddenly felt a bit annoyed again.

Why should she be afraid of him misunderstanding?

Anyway, he doesn't like her, so what if he heard it!

As if acting out of spite, Cai Xiaotang deliberately replied loudly: "Fine, battle it is! Let's see me beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor!"

After speaking, she immediately said to the other end of the phone: "My friend is waiting for me, I won't talk to you anymore."

Cai Xiaotang dropped that sentence and hung up the phone decisively.

Li Xiao: "..."

Li Xiao gripped his phone, staring at the crowd coming and going in the airport Main Hall with a rare blank expression, only one thought remaining in his mind.

Xiao Tang's friend...

Is a man????

Li Xiao stood in place for several seconds to process it, only then did he suddenly snap back to his senses, hurriedly picked up his phone again, and quickly dialed a number.

As soon as it connected, he asked the other end of the phone at a rapid pace: "Have you found Xiao Tang's whereabouts?"

"Shura, not yet..."

The person on the other end of the phone reported helplessly: "There are so many people at the airport, it's been less than ten minutes... It will take at least half an hour to find out..."

"The faster, the better." Li Xiao's face was full of helplessness, and after speaking, he ordered: "Screen the vehicles that came to the airport around the time the plane landed. She was picked up by a friend, and the other party is a man. After you find him... I want all his information."

On the other side—Cai Xiaotang hung up the phone and returned to the room, preoccupied.

Thinking of the call with Li Xiao just now, she only felt annoyed everywhere.

But she couldn't explain exactly why.

"Big sister, do you like to stare blankly at the game controller?"

Liu Qingze's teasing voice suddenly came, interrupting Cai Xiaotang's train of thought.

She snapped back to her senses, only then seeing that the game on the screen in front of her was already set up.

"I was thinking about how to deal with you in a moment!"

Cai Xiaotang deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and retorted. As soon as the words fell, she heard Liu Qingze suddenly change the subject and ask: "Was the person who called just now your boyfriend?"

"Huh?"

An unnatural look flashed across Cai Xiaotang's face instantly; she didn't understand how the topic had jumped so quickly.

Liu Qingze, however, wore a gossipy expression and continued to press: "Did you... have a fight?"

"You... why do you care so much!"

Cai Xiaotang had been poked in her heart, and coupled with the phone call just now, her mood became even more depressed.

If only that person were really her boyfriend...

That way, she would at least have the right to act spoiled and throw a temper tantrum...
