Chapter 760: What I Want Is You

~7 min read 1,315 words

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly. Hearing him ask this, she suddenly thought of something and scrutinized Li Xiao's expression with some suspicion.

His face no longer wore its usual lazy smile.

The corners of his lips, which were always slightly upturned, were now tightly pursed, as if he were somewhat displeased.

His gaze was also fixed directly on her, as if he cared very much about the answer to that question just now.

After staring at him for a long while, a flash of self-mockery suddenly crossed the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes.

What is he pretending to be so deep for?

He actually looks quite convincing...

If she didn't know he still kept photos of his ex-girlfriend in his drawer, she would have really thought he was jealous!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, and the anger that had finally subsided flared up again; she retorted bluntly, "So what if I went to see him?"

As she spoke, she tried to bypass Li Xiao to leave.

But this time, her wrist was grabbed abruptly.

"Li Xiao! What exactly do you want!"

Feeling his body temperature, Cai Xiaotang completely lost her temper.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "I told you, Liu Qingze is young, he doesn't..."

"Do I not know whether he is young or not?"

Cai Xiaotang interrupted him furiously.

"I am an adult! I don't need you to teach me how to make friends! And my friends don't need you to judge them! You..."

"He likes you."

Li Xiao looked at Cai Xiaotang with a certain expression.

The words Cai Xiaotang hadn't finished were successfully stuck in her throat.

After a long moment—Li Xiao repeated his previous words again, saying, "He. Likes. You."

Cai Xiaotang looked into his eyes, and her mind suddenly went blank for a second.

He... knows?

But so what?

"There are plenty of people who like me."

Cai Xiaotang sneered and deliberately looked away.

How ironic...

The person she likes doesn't like her back...

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate once again.

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to say any more; she used a bit of strength in her arm, wanting to break free from Li Xiao's hand.

But she didn't expect the other party's grip to not loosen at all.

"Cai Xiaotang."

Li Xiao spoke again, his tone even lower than before, inexplicably carrying the pressure of a coming storm.

Cai Xiaotang's fingertips trembled slightly.

Li Xiao continued to ask, "If we really get a divorce, do you plan to be with Liu Qingze?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this; before she could sort out her thoughts, she was instantly engulfed by rage.

Here he goes again...

Who she is with, what does it have to do with him?

He already has someone he likes!

Can he stop provoking her!

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Cai Xiaotang exerted force in her hand and fiercely flung Li Xiao's hand away!

"Yes! So what if I am with him? Who doesn't like a young and handsome kid? If you really care about me, then move aside quickly, don't block my romantic luck and delay me from going out on a date!"

Cai Xiaotang was panting after saying all that, her chest heaving continuously, but after finishing, she didn't feel much better inside.

She also didn't notice that the depths of Li Xiao's eyes had long since turned dark and heavy.

Cai Xiaotang calmed her mood, suddenly thought of something, and finally warned him again: "Except for the day of the divorce, I don't want to see you ever again, and please don't stand at my door like a pervert!"

She turned to leave as soon as she finished speaking.

The next second—her arm was suddenly grabbed, and her whole body was pulled backward uncontrollably!

"Li Xiao, you... mm..."

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened abruptly.

The burning sensation on her lips was all too familiar, and the air was completely filled with the familiar and pleasant scent of the man.

She was trapped between the man's arms and the door panel, with nowhere to escape.

The fiery kiss instantly ignited the nerves throughout her entire body.

Almost without time to resist, Cai Xiaotang was already kissed until her body went soft, barely maintaining a sliver of clarity.

What kind of madness is this guy having!

Does he have to take advantage of her at a time like this!

A flash of fire suddenly crossed the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes, and her eye sockets quickly turned red.

With grievance and anger intertwined, she suddenly parted her lips slightly...

And bit down hard on Li Xiao's lower lip!

Li Xiao's movements stiffened for a moment.

But he didn't pull away because of it; instead, he attacked even more fervently!

"Mmm... you..."

Cai Xiaotang pushed hard against his chest with both hands, but he easily grabbed her wrists with one hand and pulled them above her head.

Immediately, she felt a touch of coolness.

Li Xiao's movements stiffened once more, and then he abruptly pulled the distance between them apart.

His lips were still stained with a trace of blood, which, paired with the inadvertently revealed ruthlessness in his eyes, made him look inexplicably bewitching, yet his expression was somewhat dazed.

After a long while—"Xiao Tang... don't cry..."

Li Xiao slightly raised his hand, wanting to help Cai Xiaotang wipe the tears from her cheeks, but he didn't touch her...

"Slap!"

The crisp sound echoed in the quiet corridor.

A red mark instantly appeared on Li Xiao's face, yet he didn't even blink.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes were wide open; she wiped her tears in a disheveled manner and rubbed her eyes hard, not wanting the tears to keep falling.

"What exactly do you want..."

Cai Xiaotang's voice was slightly hoarse, and her face was written with exhaustion.

"Li Xiao, I can't see through you, and I don't know what you're thinking, but..."

Cai Xiaotang's tone trembled slightly; realizing she was about to shed tears again, she hurriedly paused to calm her emotions before continuing: "But could you please, since you already have someone you like and are keeping that person's photo, stop provoking me! Do you want me to completely loathe you!"

By the time she reached the last few words, she couldn't help but almost shout them out.

Li Xiao, however, quickly caught a keyword; he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a chuckle of realization.

"You saw the photo in the drawer?"

His expression softened a bit, no longer as gloomy as before.

Cai Xiaotang looked away; thinking that she had, after all, snooped through his things, she explained palely: "I didn't mean to snoop; I saw your drawer wasn't closed properly, so I was curious... anyway, we are going to divorce, I won't pester you in the future, and I also trouble you not to come looking for me again, we..."

Before she could finish the words "clear the slate," she was suddenly pressed against the wall again!

"Little vinegar jar, how can you be so jealous?"

The anger in Li Xiao's eyes completely dissipated; thinking that she had flown into such a rage because of the photo, his mood improved significantly.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was completely confused.

Hearing someone's tone suddenly become doting, she couldn't help but get angry again; just as she was about to speak—Li Xiao suddenly asked again: "Do you still remember that you owe me a gift?"

"Heh..."

Cai Xiaotang was practically laughed to the point of anger.

At a time like this, he still had the heart to dwell on such things?

She rolled her eyes in her heart and wanted to push the person in front of her away directly.

But she didn't expect him to suddenly lean in, slowly approaching her ear—"Cai Xiaotang, the gift I want—is you."
