Chapter 747: You Make My Heart Flutter

Cai Xiaotang walked faster and faster, the annoyance on her face growing heavier as well.

Li Xiao, however, relied on the advantage of his height and long legs, letting her pull his hand while he followed behind unhurriedly.

Not until they walked out of the racetrack did Cai Xiaotang unceremoniously shake him off.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiao amusedly circled around to her front, deliberately raising an eyebrow as he asked, "Didn't I win the race? Are you not happy?"

"No."

Cai Xiaotang tossed those two words at him, her mood complicated.

The race was not the point.

She just couldn't stand him always intruding into her field of vision like this, enticing her to be so spineless that she couldn't look away.

"Swish—" came a sound.

A strange, soft noise suddenly came from Li Xiao's hand.

Cai Xiaotang was subconsciously drawn to it, and immediately saw him open his palm in front of her.

Inside lay a chocolate that looked gaudily wrapped and shaped like a bow.

Cai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow at him, her expression softening slightly.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, simply unwrapped it, and brought the chocolate to her lips.

"Don't you like eating chocolate? Have a piece to celebrate me taking first place?"

A faint, sweet fragrance drifted to the tip of her nose.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and she felt her heart go fiercely numb.

Here it comes again...

It's this feeling again...

Can this guy stop unconsciously seducing her?

Doesn't he know that this kind of behavior easily makes people's hearts flutter!

"I..."

She wanted to refuse.

But she didn't expect that just as she parted her lips, the sweet chocolate slipped into the gap between them, and nearly slid out of her mouth.

Cai Xiaotang was startled, subconsciously pursing her lips, and by the time she came to her senses, she already had the whole piece of chocolate in her mouth.

"Alright, let's go."

Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction and pulled her toward the car.

Cai Xiaotang closed her eyes, trying to calm her heart down.

Don't hold it against him...

This kind of "central air conditioner" is just like this!

He is nice to her because he feels guilty about rejecting her confession!

He flirts with her because he thinks it's fun!

He doesn't like the look of Liu Qingze because...

Because...

Cai Xiaotang suddenly opened her eyes, realizing she couldn't find a suitable reason.

Why doesn't Li Xiao like Liu Qingze?

Is it just because she and he are too close?

But... what does it have to do with him who she is close to?

Cai Xiaotang got into the car in a slightly dazed state.

"Why did you come today?"

She asked suddenly.

Li Xiao's lips curled slightly as he spoke the answer he had already prepared.

"Didn't I say? I wanted to accompany you to watch the race, but I didn't expect it to be motorcycles. Don't you always say I'm old? So I wanted to join in the fun and prove myself."

"Oh..."

Cai Xiaotang pressed her tongue against the chocolate in her mouth and gave a perfunctory response.

That guy did more than just prove himself today...

He practically stole the show!

Cai Xiaotang grumbled in her heart, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out her phone to find Liu Qingze's chat box.

【Still alive?】

She typed the two words and sent them out.

Soon, a cheeky reply came from the other side.

【Thanks to you, still kicking.】

Cai Xiaotang chuckled and hurriedly tapped away on the screen.

【Congratulations on receiving a mysterious gift package from the lovely fairy Cai Xiaotang x1. This package is only for the lucky person who took second place in today's motorcycle race. It contains a prize redemption card, which can be exchanged with the little fairy for any gift you want!】

She edited the long message, read it over once, and then sent it off with satisfaction.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Qingze lowered his eyes to look at the screen, and a smile suddenly couldn't help but overflow on his previously expressionless face.

Still acting like a big sister... why is she so childish?

Childish to the point of being... overly cute.

The gloom of losing the race seemed to be swept away in an instant; he curled his lips and his fingers tapped lightly.

"I don't want anything in particular; whatever you pick yourself is fine."

Cai Xiaotang received the reply and, looking at the line of text on the screen, suddenly felt something was a bit subtle.

How did this sentence look... so easy to misunderstand?

This brat!

Now that he has a gift, he doesn't even know to call me sister!

And he didn't even say thank you!

Forcibly ignoring the strange feeling in the bottom of her heart, Cai Xiaotang thought for a moment and did not reply again.

Immediately after, she heard—"Right, what gift do you plan to give me? Have you thought about it?"

Li Xiao's voice suddenly rang out.

"No."

Cai Xiaotang shook her head and simply asked directly: "But I keep my word. Is there anything you want? As long as it's within my capabilities, I can give it to you."

"Really?"

Li Xiao deliberately pretended not to believe her.

Cai Xiaotang immediately took the opportunity to renege: "If you don't believe me, then forget it. Someone like you shouldn't be lacking anything anyway, so why don't we just void this opportunity..."

"Who says I'm not lacking anything?"

Li Xiao interrupted her, suddenly taking the opportunity to pull the car he had just started over to the side of the road, casually unbuckled his seatbelt, and slowly leaned his body forward, moving close to Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang was startled by his sudden approach, and her whole body stiffened for a moment.

The chocolate in her mouth seemed to be held on the right side, making her cheek bulge, like a little hamster storing food.

Li Xiao was charmed by her appearance; his gaze swept over her lips, and a flash of restrained self-control suddenly crossed his eyes.

At a time like this...

Perhaps what he was lacking was a chocolate-flavored kiss?

"You... what kind of madness are you having? Even if you want a gift, you don't have to park the car on the side of the road, right? I can't just conjure a gift out of thin air for you right now!"

This was the second time today Cai Xiaotang had been stared at like this by him, and she couldn't help but speak up to break the silence, feeling guilty.

Seeing her face full of nervousness, Li Xiao then took the opportunity to sit back up and restarted the car.

He subconsciously pursed his lips and said unhurriedly: "Keep it for now; we'll talk when I've thought of it."

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to continue dwelling on this issue with him, so she simply agreed: "That works too. Tell me when you've thought of it, but it's not allowed to be anything too excessive. I have the right to refuse unreasonable requests!"

"Rest assured, it won't be excessive."

Li Xiao's tone rose at the end, clearly in a good mood.

Of course, he wouldn't want anything too excessive.

What he wanted couldn't be simpler.

A few days later—the plan for the hotel's makeover had already had its preliminary outline perfected.

Cai Xiaotang took a day to hold a short meeting at the company with her own boss and the staff members brought by Liu Qingze.

There were quite a few details to confirm, and for the entire morning, everyone was in the conference room, only dispersing after they had even finished lunch together.

"Sister, what are you planning to do this afternoon?"

Watching the few people from his own company walk away, Liu Qingze immediately leaned in close to Cai Xiaotang and reached out to touch her head as he finished speaking.

Cai Xiaotang had been on guard, instantly dodging a step away and glaring at him crossly.

"You've really been getting more and more excessive lately! Don't think that just because I don't say anything, you can push your luck!"

She quickly tidied her hair, her expression looking slightly unnatural.
