Chapter 725: The Vinegar Jar Has Overturned

Half an hour later—

The sourness in Li Xiao's heart not only failed to dissipate, but instead reached a new height.

He toyed with the phone in his hand, wanting to call Cai Xiaotang several times, yet he hesitated.

She didn't really like him constantly investigating her whereabouts; if he asked directly, he was afraid it would make her unhappy...

But a man and a woman playing on skateboards together...

He had never heard of her knowing how to play with such things before; if she accidentally fell...

Just as Li Xiao was thinking this, his phone suddenly beeped twice.

He hurriedly picked it up, and immediately saw a photo sent by his subordinate, taken from a distance.

It was indeed Cai Xiaotang and Liu Qingze in the plaza.

The two were squatting on the ground together, seemingly studying the skateboard in their hands; from the photo, they were so close their heads were almost touching.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and swiped the screen off with a flick.

This woman, Cai Xiaotang!

Does she not know she is a married woman now?

Why can't she keep a little distance from other men?

What happened to her saying she liked him?

Could it be that she is already planning to have a change of heart in such a short time?

Thinking of her usual remarks about how "men are everywhere," Li Xiao felt a headache coming on.

After a long while—

He finally couldn't help but stand up directly.

But before he could even leave, he received another call from his subordinate.

"Asura, there is movement on that side."

The subordinate reported in a serious tone.

Li Xiao's footsteps paused, his mind filled with the photo from just a moment ago.

After a long silence, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and said, "I'm heading over now!"

Evening—

Cai Xiaotang had a great time playing all day, and her mood was simply fantastic.

It wasn't until dusk that she happily carried her new skateboard back to the Old Residence.

She didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she would run into Li Xiao sitting in the living room like a door god.

Their eyes met, and Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned, feeling that something was strange.

This guy... what is that expression?

Why does it look like she owes him five million?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cai Xiaotang simply pretended nothing was wrong, shifted her gaze away, and planned to go upstairs to take a shower and rest.

The next second—

"Went out to play?"

Li Xiao spoke suddenly, his eyes quickly sweeping over Cai Xiaotang; he caught a glimpse of a small scrape on her wrist, and his brow twitched slightly.

Hearing him take the initiative to talk, Cai Xiaotang answered truthfully: "Yeah, went out skateboarding with a friend."

As she spoke, she walked quickly toward the stairs.

After taking a few steps, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Li Xiao was following her, yet he said nothing.

The atmosphere was inexplicably strange; the two of them returned to the bedroom one after the other like this.

As soon as they entered the room—

Li Xiao could no longer hold back and asked, "With Liu Qingze?"

The vinegar jar in his heart had been overturned all day, and it had already spilled all over the floor.

His tone carried an unconcealable sourness and a faint hostility toward Liu Qingze.

Cai Xiaotang sensed that his mood was off and glanced at him with some confusion.

However, she didn't shy away and nodded frankly: "Yeah, I think skateboarding is quite interesting, so I asked him to teach me, which also saves me from having nothing to do on the weekend."

Li Xiao took a deep breath, his forehead throbbing, and he keenly sensed something from her words.

"You mean... you are going to go out with him every weekend from now on?"

"Yeah, why else?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him, even more perplexed.

Li Xiao: "..."

Going out every single week!

She is still learning to skateboard, so it is inevitable that the two of them will have some physical contact...

Li Xiao was silent, his mind already conjuring images of the two of them falling together.

If jealousy could be materialized, he would probably be steaming all over right now.

"Xiao Tang, I think... aren't you and Liu Qingze getting too close? It might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings..."

Li Xiao tried his best to maintain a steady tone, wanting to "remind" Cai Xiaotang.

But he didn't expect that before he could finish, Cai Xiaotang would scoff.

"Are you overthinking this? That's Sister Xin'ai's younger brother; by extension, I count as his older sister too. Besides, given the age gap between us, I have no interest in robbing the cradle. Or do you think everyone is like you, just liking to tease me?"

She looked at Li Xiao with a pointed expression, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed.

Who she chooses to interact with is none of his business!

It's not like he's her boyfriend!

Besides, she just went to play with her skateboard fair and square; she didn't do anything else!

Cai Xiaotang thought this, then turned around cleanly and headed to the bathroom.

Before closing the door, she suddenly thought of something, poked her head out, and added: "Rest assured, before the divorce, I won't do anything to damage your reputation. As for anything else, that is my personal, reasonable right to socialize, and you have no right to interfere."

After speaking, she slammed the door shut with a "bang."

Li Xiao stood where he was, rarely left speechless by Cai Xiaotang, though his gaze still retained a hint of sharpness.

He didn't believe for a second that that little brat from the Liu Family didn't have designs on Xiao Tang!

It was just that Xiao Tang's public status was still married, so he probably wouldn't dare to do anything.

But if they really got divorced...

Li Xiao furrowed his brows, immediately turned around, and walked toward the door; he had to get things resolved quickly.

If he didn't hurry, his wife might be snatched away by a love rival!

The weekend ended—

Cai Xiaotang threw herself back into work.

She was very attentive to this hotel's star-rating upgrade; basically, whenever she had time, she was either at the company organizing data or with Liu Qingze at the hotel studying where improvements were needed.

In the morning, Cai Xiaotang was arranging a meeting time at the hotel with Liu Qingze while planning to return to the company to pick up some documents.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she would suddenly hear a sneer coming from the nearby pantry.

"Isn't Cai Xiaotang just relying on having a pretty face... If I were ten years younger, would it even be her turn this time?"

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps paused, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

Chen Jialin?

Was she failing to keep her mouth shut again?

Cai Xiaotang couldn't be bothered to pay attention and was just about to leave when she heard another woman say: "Hey, come to think of it, I think I saw her at the entrance of the Hospital before, but I didn't see it too clearly at the time. I just saw her seemingly helping an old man, and the two of them seemed very intimate. You didn't see it, but that old man's hair was already gray, and she really isn't picky..."

"Really?"

Chen Jialin's tone became much more excited, and after laughing twice, she continued: "No wonder she hooked up with that Young Manager Liu recently; I'm afraid that old man can't perform anymore, right? After all, he was so frail he had to go to the Hospital; of course she had to find someone young and strong! But that Young Manager Liu is indeed handsome; even I'm a little tempted..."

"Hahaha..."

The two women's filthy words reached Cai Xiaotang's ears, every single word.

She stood where she was, her fists already clenched tight.

The Hospital?

They must be talking about Li Laoyezi, right?

Heh...

If she pretended not to hear such foul-mouthed trash, she wouldn't be Cai Xiaotang!
