Chapter 755: Why Are You Such a Beast?

The next day—Cai Xiaotang timed it perfectly and went to the airport.

Li Xiao insisted on following, and she didn't stop him much, so the two of them set off together.

Shortly after arriving, they saw Lu Miaomiao and Li Beijue walking out of the exit with the three little ones.

"Godmother!"

Mobai was the first to spot Cai Xiaotang, and he ran straight out from the exit.

"Mobai, my big treasure!"

Watching him pounce over, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly caught him in her arms and planted several heavy kisses on his face.

Li Xiao parked the car and walked over from a distance; seeing this scene, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Tsk...

If only someone would be this enthusiastic toward him at some point?

Li Xiao thought, feeling a sudden, slight sourness in his heart, and then he was abruptly stunned.

No...

Since when did he start getting jealous of a brat like Mobai?

"Ahem..."

Li Xiao gave a light cough, an unnatural look quickly flashing across his face.

Fortunately, no one noticed him.

Cai Xiaotang's entire focus was on the three little ones; she hugged them one by one, kissed them all, and then pounced on Jiang Baobao.

"Baobao, you're finally back! I was bored to death while you were gone!"

As she spoke, Cai Xiaotang observed Jiang Baobao's complexion, and seeing that she had recovered to about the same as before, she finally felt at ease.

Jiang Baobao had missed her too, so she hurriedly took her arm and said with a smile, "I missed you too! I even brought you lots of gifts; we'll look at them slowly when we get back!"

The group talked as they walked toward the parking lot and headed straight back to the Old Residence.

Knowing that Jiang Baobao and the others were returning, Li Laoyezi had already had a table of dishes prepared.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they could smell the fragrance of food filling the living room.

"Great-grandfather!"

The three little ones were incredibly sweet-mouthed; as soon as they entered, they surrounded Li Laoyezi, making the old man beam with joy, and then they were all simultaneously drawn to the large table of food.

"Wow! So many delicious things!"

As a little foodie, Tiantian couldn't help but let her eyes shine.

After her gaze swept around, she locked onto the large shrimp on the table.

"Does Tiantian want to eat this?"

Li Laoyezi chuckled and hurriedly picked up his chopsticks to grab one for her.

"Thank you, Great-grandfather!"

Tiantian thanked him obediently, but instead of eating it, she turned around, wanting to let Jiang Baobao have a taste first.

But she didn't expect that just as she turned—"Oops!"

She bumped right into Cai Xiaotang, who was walking toward them, and the large shrimp in her hand landed squarely on her dress before falling to the floor.

"My shrimp..."

The little girl immediately pouted.

Then, suppressing her heartache, she hurriedly apologized: "Godmother, I'm sorry, I got your dress dirty..."

"What does that matter? It's fine!"

Cai Xiaotang reached out to rub her little head and crouched down to pick up the shrimp.

Li Laoye had already picked up a new one to hand to Tiantian.

Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head with a serious expression: "This can still be eaten if I wash it with water! We can't waste it!"

As she said this, she was already clutching the large shrimp and running into the kitchen.

Everyone in the living room was immediately amused by the little girl and laughed.

Cai Xiaotang looked down at her clothes and saw a conspicuous oil stain; she said with some amusement, "Looks like I'll have to go upstairs and change first..."

Just as she was about to leave, the next second—"Godmother!"

Mobai and Yanbao suddenly called out to her in unison.

They then scrambled to find a large bag from the pile of gifts they had brought.

"This is the gift the three of us picked out for Godmother! Godmother, wear this!"

The two little ones looked at Cai Xiaotang as if presenting a treasure.

"For me?"

Cai Xiaotang took it with some surprise, glanced at the items in the bag, and smiled with her eyes curved: "Then Godmother will go change into it now and show you!"

She carried the bag, turned around, and went straight back upstairs.

Closing the bedroom door, she took out the clothes inside.

She discovered it was a khaki-colored pinafore dress.

It was paired with an off-white inner lining.

It looked casual yet playful, and very youthful.

"They actually put together a whole outfit? These three little ones have pretty good taste..."

Cai Xiaotang commented with a smile, hurriedly changed out of her clothes, and put on the ones the three little ones had given her.

The pinafore dress was a cinched-waist style, and it even came with a matching belt at the waist, which accentuated her figure beautifully.

Cai Xiaotang turned in front of the mirror with satisfaction, then felt the straps were a bit loose and wanted to tighten them.

She reached her hands behind her back, wanting to reach for the buckle.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she moved, her scalp was yanked hard!

"Hiss—"

Cai Xiaotang instantly gasped, freezing in place, not daring to move.

She took a good while to recover, then reached out to tentatively tug at her hair, and sure enough, she felt resistance.

It seemed the ends of her hair were tangled with the buckle of the strap.

"Damn... is it tangled this tightly?"

Cai Xiaotang muttered under her breath and tried tugging again, but because of the limited reach of her arms, any movement ended up pulling on her scalp.

After struggling alone for a long while, she finally dropped her hands in frustration, her eyes darting around.

"I might as well just cut it off! It's only a small tuft of hair anyway..."

As she spoke, she quickly tried to recall if there were any scissors in the bedroom.

Just then, she suddenly heard a knock on the bedroom door.

"Who is it?"

Cai Xiaotang asked casually.

"It's me."

A familiar voice sounded from outside the door.

Cai Xiaotang was slightly stunned, looking toward the door with some hesitation.

Li Xiao?

He had come at just the right time!

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly walked over in two steps to pull the door open.

Seeing that she had finished changing, Li Xiao's expression paused slightly; he gave her a quick once-over and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "I thought you hadn't finished changing yet. Those three little ones have good taste..."

"Does that even need saying?"

Cai Xiaotang retorted out of habit, then immediately turned around and lifted her hair.

"My hair seems to be stuck; help me fix it."

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment; he saw the few strands of hair tangled in the gap of the buckle at a glance, and couldn't help but let his eyes fall onto her snow-white nape.

His lips suddenly felt a bit dry.

"Hey, hurry up!"

Cai Xiaotang hadn't felt him move for a long time and couldn't help but urge him.

"Mm."

Li Xiao responded in a low voice, then raised his hand, carefully grasping that strand of long hair.

His eyes, however, had deepened significantly compared to before.

"Be careful, okay? You're not allowed to pull my hair out! And you're not allowed to hurt me!"

Cai Xiaotang still remembered the feeling of her scalp being pulled earlier and warned him, feeling uneasy.

Li Xiao didn't reply, only the corners of his lips curling up silently.

Had he gone crazy?

Why did he feel like someone was unconsciously seducing him even in a situation like this?

Something seemed to be stretched tight in his mind; Li Xiao unhurriedly untangled her stuck hair bit by bit, suddenly feeling an urge to lean closer, then a bitter smile abruptly appeared on his face.

Tsk...

Since when had he become such a beast?
