Chapter 754: Peach Blossom Luck Has Arrived

Cai Xiaotang struggled with her thoughts the entire way home.

As soon as she returned home, she threw herself onto the sofa and opened Liu Qingze's chat box, but she was too conflicted to know what to say.

This brat is completely stubborn... saying anything else wouldn't be a problem...

If she doesn't make things clear, how can they continue working together every day?

Cai Xiaotang tentatively typed two characters on the screen, looked at them for a moment, and then quickly deleted them all.

"Tsk... how should I put this..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself, typed a few more characters, and then deleted them again.

If she really told him directly that she had someone she liked, given his personality, he would definitely get to the bottom of it and find a way to fish for information!

She didn't want to drag a certain old man into this again!

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips tightly, staring at her phone with a focused expression, completely unaware that a certain "old man" had already walked in from outside the door.

Seeing her head bowed and focused on her phone, Li Xiao deliberately lightened his footsteps and approached the sofa without a sound.

He didn't expect that as soon as he stood beside her, he would see the six large characters on the screen: "Little Friend Liu Qingze."

Cai Xiaotang's fingers hovered over the keyboard, as if she were about to type, but she didn't make a move for a long time.

Li Xiao's brow tightened, and the corners of his lips, which had been slightly upturned, instantly pressed down.

She had been sitting here for ages just to struggle over sending a message to Liu Qingze?

Li Xiao felt a breath stuck in his chest, instantly transforming into a "vinegar jar."

"If you're so conflicted, why don't I help you send it?"

He spoke coldly, instantly startling Cai Xiaotang, who had been immersed in her thoughts.

"Damn! When did you get here!"

Cai Xiaotang jumped in surprise and instantly flipped her phone face down on the sofa.

A flash of annoyance quickly crossed Li Xiao's eyes; he didn't answer her question but instead retorted, "Do you also take this long to consider things when you send me messages?"

"Huh?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this. Knowing he must have seen the name in the chat box, she gave him a sharp, annoyed look.

"What is there to compare? How inexplicable..."

Not knowing what kind of mood he was in, or perhaps because her mind was already in chaos from the confession, Cai Xiaotang suddenly blurted out, "You care so much about Liu Qingze, I'd think you were jealous."

"Heh..."

Li Xiao gave an ambiguous hum, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural, though he did not deny it.

"What are you humming about? If you don't want me to misunderstand, then stop meddling in my business!" Cai Xiaotang couldn't be bothered to deal with him; she picked up her phone and got up, wanting to go somewhere else.

Li Xiao suddenly spoke again: "Liu Qingze is too young. Boys at this age are the least reliable. You should be careful..."

Before he finished his sentence, he couldn't help but pause, his expression somewhat subtle.

Even he himself could sense the sourness in the words he had just spoken.

Cai Xiaotang, however, gave a cold snort and followed his logic to retort: "If young people aren't reliable, are older men reliable then?"

She looked at Li Xiao with pointed intent.

Li Xiao: "..."

That wasn't what he meant...

Li Xiao wanted to say something more, but Cai Xiaotang was already too lazy to look at him; she left directly and ducked into a random guest room.

With a bang, she closed the door, and her ears finally regained some peace.

Yet, she felt even more restless than before.

Is Li Xiao being a bit too concerned about Liu Qingze?

If she didn't know he had someone he liked, she would really suspect he was jealous!

That old scumbag!

He's been provoking her way too much lately!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, forcibly driving the shadow of a certain person out of her mind, and then picked up her phone again, worrying over Liu Qingze's chat box.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a message pop up on the screen.

It was from a horoscope blogger she occasionally followed, who had just posted a horoscope update a minute ago.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment. She clicked in to take a look, and upon scanning the love horoscope section, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

"This week, peach blossom luck is exploding... will there be an unexpected confession? Damn... is it that accurate?"

Cai Xiaotang blinked and hurriedly scrolled down.

"But it's not a bad peach blossom... proceed with caution. Fate has arrived; be sure to seize the opportunity and start a sweet... romance?"

She muttered the keywords from the article under her breath, her expression becoming increasingly incredulous.

This...

Is heaven trying to remind her of something?

Telling her not to miss out on... Liu Qingze?

Cai Xiaotang "swiped" the phone screen off and suddenly felt that things were becoming somewhat surreal.

Although horoscopes are just for fun and shouldn't be taken seriously, it just so happened to be today... isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Is her peach blossom... really Liu Qingze?

Cai Xiaotang leaned against the door, suddenly wanting to laugh.

She had never had any thoughts about that brat, but...

She really didn't dislike him, and being with him was very relaxed and happy.

Anyway, she would be divorcing Li Xiao in a while, and after that, the two of them probably wouldn't have any contact...

Or perhaps she could really consider his suggestion and make a decision after the divorce?

Liu Qingze is not a substitute for Li Xiao.

Therefore, once the divorce is finalized, she will move on as soon as possible.

If she could truly try to like Liu Qingze, it would also serve as a response to his confession today...

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and her fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly.

Just then—"Buzz!"

Her phone suddenly rang again.

Cai Xiaotang was startled and nearly dropped the phone on the ground.

She caught it in a flurry, only then seeing that it was a call from Jiang Baobao.

She hurriedly answered it.

As soon as it connected, she heard Jiang Baobao say with a smile, "Xiao Tang! I'm coming back tomorrow! My flight arrives in the country at two in the afternoon!"

"Coming back tomorrow?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this: "Didn't you say before that you were going to wait another two days? Why so sudden?"

"Hmm... well, about that..."

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment before answering, "Because Mobai and the others miss you. Anyway, we have to go back sooner or later, so a couple of days doesn't make much difference. They even prepared a gift for you!"

"Really? Then thank those three little ones for me, and send me the flight number in a bit; I'll go to the airport to pick you up tomorrow!"

Cai Xiaotang's mood instantly improved, and as she spoke, she had already opened the chat box with her boss, intending to ask for a day off.

The two chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

Cheng Yue also agreed very readily on his end, approving her one-day leave.

Cai Xiaotang replied in a very sycophantic manner, "Thank you, handsome boss," then her gaze couldn't help but slowly fall back onto the name she had clicked on countless times, and after pondering for a moment, she finally put down her phone.

As for the matter of Liu Qingze... she should think about it some more...

It just so happens that Baobao is coming back tomorrow!

Perhaps she could talk to her about this matter, who knows?

Plus, it would avoid the awkwardness of seeing Liu Qingze when she goes to work!

That brat is just too direct right now!

It really is a bit hard to handle...
