Chapter 759: Li Xiao, We Are Finished

~8 min read 1,473 words

In the living room—Li Laoyezi saw Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang come down from upstairs one after the other, and could not help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Why are you still here? Xiao Tang has already gone out; aren't you supposed to be taking her?"

"She said she didn't need me to take her, and it just so happens I have some business to attend to, so I'll go to the Mu Family to pick her up later."

Li Xiao casually found an excuse, his face already devoid of any emotion.

Hearing that Li Laoyezi did not press further, he grabbed his car keys and went out the door.

Cai Xiaotang's car had already disappeared from view.

Li Xiao quickly turned and got into his car, starting it immediately; the place that usually took ten minutes to drive out of, he managed to reach the main road in half the time, and he saw Cai Xiaotang blocked ahead by a red light.

Letting out a slight sigh of relief, Li Xiao did not dare to follow too closely, following the flow of traffic ahead while moving slowly, his brows locked tight.

What on earth is wrong...

She has never been an unreasonable person; why would she suddenly get angry?

Half an hour later—two cars stopped one after the other downstairs at an apartment building in the city center.

Li Xiao parked his car far away on the side of the road, and seeing Cai Xiaotang get out of her car in a rage and walk inside without looking back, he suddenly understood.

She really wasn't going to see Mu Liusu...

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and tentatively dialed Cai Xiaotang's number.

"Beep—"

The phone rang once.

The next second—"I'm sorry, the user you are calling is temporarily unavailable..."

Cai Xiaotang had actually hung up on him directly!

"What kind of temper is she throwing..."

Li Xiao took a frustrated deep breath, subconsciously reaching out to grab a cigarette, but his hand came up empty.

He paused slightly, only then realizing that the "stock" in the car had been smoked dry last time.

He took a deep breath, thinking of what Cai Xiaotang had said before leaving, and felt a stifling sensation he had never experienced before.

After a while—he picked up his phone again and redialed.

This time, the cold mechanical voice simply prompted that the other party had already turned off their phone.

Li Xiao looked at the call that had automatically disconnected on the screen and lifted his eyes to look toward the floor above.

Phone off?

Could Cai Xiaotang have blocked him?

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, and not knowing what he was thinking, he suddenly pushed the door open and got out of the car.

Upstairs—Cai Xiaotang slammed the door shut as soon as she entered the room.

Then she stood blankly in the living room, not knowing what she should do next.

She had run out...

She had actually really run out...

Next, it was time to resolve the divorce with Li Xiao...

No matter what kind of mess he had on his end, she had to get a divorce this time!

At worst, she would just stay with her older brother for the time being!

That would guarantee her safety just the same!

It was just that she felt a bit sorry for Li Laoyezi...

But she didn't want to continue like this anymore!

Who could endure the person they like constantly, time and again, deliberately flirting with them?

Yet he clearly still had someone else in his heart...

Scumbag!

Jerk!

Cai Xiaotang cursed a few times in her heart, and after she finished cursing, her expression suddenly became a bit dejected again.

It was that she was too spineless...

Knowing full well that Li Xiao was a scumbag, yet still liking him so much...

She had to hurry up and forget him!

And then continue being a noble single person!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her peripheral vision suddenly caught her phone screen lighting up again, accompanied by a ringtone.

She frowned sharply, picked it up casually, and could not help but pause slightly.

It was Liu Qingze...

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly thinking of something, her expression changed slightly.

She still hadn't given that brat an answer...

But...

As expected, she didn't seem suited for dating.

Whether it was liking someone very much, or being deeply liked by someone, there would always be one side that suffered unfairness...

Since she didn't like him, she should still make it clear.

Just like how she was giving up on Li Xiao.

At his age, he deserved to like a better girl.

There was no need to wait for her.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and only then answered the call.

Before she could even speak, she heard the boy on the other end of the phone beat her to it: "Big sister, what are you doing?"

His tone sounded somewhat jubilant, as if he were in a good mood.

Cai Xiaotang's mood, however, was somewhat heavy, and she tried hard to make herself sound normal as she replied: "Nothing much, I just finished lunch. What is it?"

As she asked, she was pondering when she should ask Liu Qingze out to clear things up.

Immediately after, she heard the reply from the other end of the phone: "I have a race tonight, are you coming?"

"Today?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this.

"Yeah, today, eight o'clock in the evening, same old place. Shall I come pick you up?"

Liu Qingze had already assumed she would definitely come.

Cai Xiaotang thought for two seconds after hearing this and finally made up her mind.

"Okay, I have some other things to do, but I will arrive on time tonight..."

"OK, then it's settled. I'm going to go practice driving first. I'll definitely be first today!"

He was full of confidence in himself, and after saying that, he hung up directly.

A phone call that could not have been more normal.

It was as if his serious confession from before had never happened.

Cai Xiaotang sighed.

Her brain felt groggy, and she turned and went into the bedroom.

She slept in a daze like that for the whole afternoon, and it wasn't until dusk that she finally woke up.

Thinking of the appointment that evening, Cai Xiaotang took a quick shower, tidied up a little, and then hurriedly grabbed her bag and walked toward the entryway, intending to go out.

Let's watch Liu Qingze's race tonight first...

Whatever needs to be said, I'll tell him after the race ends...

Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself in her heart what she wanted to say to Liu Qingze tonight while she pushed open the door.

Then, her whole body stiffened instantly.

The previously dim hallway lights suddenly flickered on.

They illuminated the tall figure leaning against the wall.

Li Xiao was leaning against the wall in a somewhat lazy manner with his arms crossed, also looking at Cai Xiaotang with some surprise.

He had been waiting here all afternoon.

Although he was not a resident here and had no key, it was not difficult for someone of his status to get in.

But once he reached the door, he didn't dare to knock.

Because even he himself didn't know what to say after knocking the door open.

Yet he didn't want to leave just like that.

He hadn't expected that Cai Xiaotang would be going out at this moment.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang remained expressionless, but the little person in her heart was already clutching their head and running wildly.

Damn it!

Why is this guy outside my door?

When did he arrive?

How long has he been here?

Forcibly suppressing the questions surging wildly in her heart, Cai Xiaotang stared at him, "calmly" shifted her gaze away, and continued walking toward the elevator area without looking sideways, directly acting as if she hadn't seen him.

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Xiao finally reacted, subconsciously stood up, and blocked her path.

A faint, wispy fragrance drifted to the tip of his nose, like the scent of some kind of body wash, seemingly coming from the woman in front of him.

Did she take a shower?

And she's going out at this time?

Li Xiao's heart tightened abruptly, and he said almost without thinking: "Where are you going?"

"What business is it of yours?"

Cai Xiaotang's tone was extremely sharp, and as she spoke, she prepared to step past him.

Li Xiao immediately blocked her again, already having a vague answer in his heart.

"Are you going to see... Liu Qingze?"

He paused for a moment before saying the name that made his heart ache.
