Chapter 712: Careful, I Might Take Advantage of You

"Settle what account?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately glared at him with vigilance, her breathing even subconsciously softening.

Why get so close?

Can't this guy speak properly!

Cai Xiaotang shifted her gaze away, feeling somewhat awkward.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao continue unhurriedly: "Just before going upstairs, Li Laoyezi called me over to talk for a while. Guess... what he said to me?"

"Whatever he wants to say, it has nothing to do with me."

Cai Xiaotang was being stubborn.

"Wrong, it has to do with you."

Li Xiao's gaze fell involuntarily onto those thin lips that had left him unable to stay calm just last night. He paused for two seconds before saying with amusement: "Miss Cai, next time the topic of children comes up, you really shouldn't talk nonsense. Li Laoyezi was hinting to me just now that if there are any problems, we must go to the Hospital as soon as possible, and definitely not delay... our health because of pride."

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang instantly understood what he meant, and her earlobes turned burning hot.

She had only wanted to drag someone else down with her at the time!

Li Laoyezi was overthinking things!

She was so embarrassed she didn't know what to say, but habitually remained stubborn: "What if Li Laoyezi is right? After all, you're so old, who knows if there really might be some problem..."

She clearly meant to snap back at him, but her voice grew quieter as she spoke.

Because she thought of a certain "discordant" scene from the morning.

Tsk...

What was she saying?

Someone was "like that" this morning, it would be a miracle if there were a problem!

"Heh..."

Li Xiao chuckled, dark currents surging in his eyes; clearly, he was thinking the same thing as Cai Xiaotang.

Even though he knew he should stop there, he couldn't help but lean in closer, lowering his voice to whisper: "Do I have a problem... what do you think?"

The tone was thick with an inseparable ambiguity.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened abruptly, finally realizing something.

Li Xiao... was he... flirting with her?

Damn it!

What a scumbag!

He has someone he likes and still dares to say these things to her!

Cai Xiaotang clenched her fists tightly, and anger instantly swept through her brain.

"What do I think! How would I know if you have a problem! I haven't... haven't..."

She stopped halfway through her sentence, ultimately too embarrassed to continue, and could only glare at the person in front of her while panting slightly.

No way...

When it comes to being shameless, she really couldn't beat this damn man in front of her!

"Haven't what?"

Seeing her cheeks flushed with anger, the smile at the corners of Li Xiao's lips became even more unrestrained: "Are you trying to say... you haven't tried it?"

Boom—the little volcano in Cai Xiaotang's mind finally erupted.

Did Li Xiao sleep his brain away last night?

Does he even know what he's saying!

Or is he talking to her like this on purpose just for fun?

What exactly does he take her for?

A pet kept by his side?

Teasing her twice when he's happy, keeping her at a distance when he feels it's gone too far, and now, because they are about to divorce, he's simply letting himself go and has returned to his "scoundrel" nature?

"Li Xiao!!!"

She was infuriated, and not knowing where she found the courage, she suddenly grabbed Li Xiao by the collar and pulled him down abruptly!

"You..."

Li Xiao bent over, caught off guard, and hurriedly extended his hands to support himself for fear of falling onto her.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat ambiguous.

The woman was half-lying on the sofa, almost completely enveloped under the man.

"Do you really think... I'll blush every time you say things like this? Do you think this is very fun?"

Cai Xiaotang asked, almost through gritted teeth.

Li Xiao furrowed his brows, realizing he had gone a bit too far just now, and subconsciously prepared to apologize.

But before he could open his mouth—"I! WARN! YOU!"

Cai Xiaotang had a serious expression, poking his shoulder with her finger, one jab at a time.

"I'm not some innocent high school student! And you'd better not forget, I've already confessed to you! Now that we're living together, you'd better be careful, or else if I take advantage of you one day, don't go crying in a corner by yourself!"

Li Xiao: "..."

Hmm?

How does the situation seem... a bit different from what he thought?

After a long while—"You... can take advantage of me?"

Li Xiao asked back with amusement, his tone clearly skeptical.

Although Cai Xiaotang spoke with a tough attitude, her neck and ears had long since turned bright red; hearing this, she immediately let out a heavy, annoyed snort.

"Don't believe me? Who says only men can take advantage of women? If you don't want me to lose control one day, you'd better not provoke me!"

Cai Xiaotang glared at Li Xiao, and immediately heard that someone deliberately drawl—"Oh~ lose control~"

Li Xiao looked composed; hearing this, not only was he not afraid, but he leaned even closer.

So close that their breathing merged into one in an instant.

Cai Xiaotang's eyelashes were trembling with nervousness, yet she stubbornly maintained this posture, not moving an inch.

Their eyes met, gazes colliding as if sparks were bursting forth.

Li Xiao's gaze seemed to speak, wandering from her brows and eyes to her lips, instantly making Cai Xiaotang's face even hotter.

He... why wasn't he saying anything?

What did it mean to look at her like this?

"I..."

Li Xiao suddenly spoke, and Cai Xiaotang instantly focused her attention.

Immediately after, she heard him continue: "I have never been taken advantage of by a woman; why don't you tell me what actions you plan to take? So I can be prepared..."

"You!"

Cai Xiaotang was left speechless by his retort.

Li Xiao, however, continued unhurriedly: "Or... trying it directly wouldn't be impossible, to see if you can really succeed?"

"Do you think I don't dare!"

Provoked by him, Cai Xiaotang finally blurted out a sentence, and as she spoke, she suddenly lifted her chin, bringing her lips toward the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, which was mere inches away.

Less than a centimeter of distance.

Just a tiny bit further, and they would touch completely.

Both of them almost subconsciously held their breath.

Li Xiao remained in that calm and unhurried manner, but his hands, braced on either side of the sofa, had long since clenched tight, betraying his emotions at this moment.

Realizing Cai Xiaotang was looking up at him, he feigned indifference and raised an eyebrow, his expression seeming to say: If you dare, then try it?

Cai Xiaotang pressed her lips together, caught in a dilemma.

Impulsive!

Too impulsive!

Why did she have to compete with him over who had thicker skin!

But she was also really angry!

Why was it always her who ended up blushing and being teased?

Why was this guy always acting like everything was under his control?

And he was such a jerk!

The more Cai Xiaotang thought about it, the angrier she got; her gaze slid quietly from his lips to his chin, and suddenly, malice grew from her daring...

The next second—"Bang!" a sound!

The sound of heavy objects colliding echoed throughout the bedroom.

Li Xiao straightened his body almost immediately, clutching his chin, looking at Cai Xiaotang with a face full of disbelief.

This woman was too ruthless!

She actually just...

That collision just now had been truly too hard, leaving him temporarily unable to speak.

Cai Xiaotang, meanwhile, was panting as she clutched her own forehead, clearly a case of "inflicting a thousand wounds on the enemy while suffering eight hundred oneself."
