Chapter 787: Baby, I Miss You

"No, then you go ahead and get busy, I won't disturb you."

Cai Xiaotang denied it quickly, and after speaking, she hung up the phone directly; her eyes drifted, and suddenly she couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

It shouldn't be this busy by rights...

Is it because of what happened last time that Li Xiao... is worried and wants to confirm everything himself?

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, didn't think about it anymore, and turned back to the room.

"Xiao Tang! Come quickly, see what you want to eat!"

Jiang Baobao happened to be ordering food with the three little ones, and seeing her enter the door, she immediately waved her hand.

Cai Xiaotang hurried over.

She flipped through the menu casually, but her eyes slowly landed on the few dishes that Li Xiao usually liked to eat.

The two of them had lived together for so long after all, so she understood his tastes to some extent.

Just as she was thinking—the door behind her suddenly made a sound.

Cai Xiaotang turned her head subconsciously, and to her surprise, she saw Li Xiao walking in from outside the door!

"Why did you come?"

She was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiao suddenly laughed: "Didn't you call me? I was afraid you missed me too... Mmph!"

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was covered by Cai Xiaotang with quick eyes and fast hands!

Cai Xiaotang stared at him with wide eyes, her gaze full of warning.

She certainly didn't say she missed him!

"Ahem..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly coughed lightly, looking at the two people in front of her with amusement, her face full of gossip.

Cai Xiaotang only then realized, hurriedly let go of her hand, and said with some unnaturalness on her face: "Since you're here, sit down and eat."

"I won't eat."

Li Xiao shook his head and looked at Li Beijue.

"I came over to tell you all that all the guests in the other areas of the Shanzhuang have been arranged to leave today; it has been completely cleared out now, and there are only guests attending the wedding, so there is nothing to worry about. Go back and rest early later, I still have things to be busy with, you don't need to worry about me..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Cai Xiaotang's wrist and led her toward the outside of the door.

"Eh...?"

Cai Xiaotang followed subconsciously and was just like that led out by him.

"Why did you pull me out?"

She stood at the doorway, looking at the person in front of her, and suddenly felt a bit nervous again.

The door to the private room was right beside them; if they spoke any louder, the people inside would hear it clearly.

Li Xiao, however, did not speak and pulled her directly into his arms.

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang was startled, and her face turned red uncontrollably again.

Just as she was about to push him away, she suddenly heard Li Xiao sigh by her ear, which sounded a bit exhausted.

Her raised hand paused slightly and then put it back down.

But she still deliberately complained: "What you just said could clearly have been said over the phone. Did you run over here specifically just to take advantage of me?"

"No."

Li Xiao answered quickly, and as he spoke, he had already let go of Cai Xiaotang, then couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her hair, saying unseriously: "I missed you."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

It hadn't even been twenty-four hours since they separated, okay!

She complained in her heart, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up into a tiny arc.

"Smooth talker..."

Cai Xiaotang spat out the four words in a low voice and hurriedly changed the subject: "Alright, then go get busy, rest early after you're done, tomorrow is the main event..."

"Mm, go eat, eat more good food for me."

Li Xiao noticed the smile on her face and couldn't help but laugh along, pushing her shoulders to lead her back to the door of the private room before turning to leave.

Cai Xiaotang didn't rush to go in, and couldn't help but look at his back a few more times; she actually felt a bit reluctant!

Then she suddenly felt a bit cheesy.

What is this?

Making it like a life-and-death separation...

Aren't they going to see each other when they go back to the room at night!

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself.

But until twelve o'clock at night, Li Xiao still hadn't returned!

Cai Xiaotang lay on the sofa, bored, playing with her phone for a long time, until she finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep...

Until the soft sound of the door closing startled her awake.

"Li Xiao...?"

Cai Xiaotang opened her eyes groggily and saw a figure half-squatting in front of her.

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa? And sleeping so lightly; aren't you usually like a little pig?"

The man's teasing voice fell into her ears.

"You're the pig..."

Cai Xiaotang replied subconsciously, finally sat up from the sofa, and glanced at her phone.

Only then did she realize it was already three in the morning!

"It's so late already... are you... finished with your work?"

She was half-asleep and half-awake, relying entirely on instinct to communicate with Li Xiao.

"Not yet."

Li Xiao gently tucked the stray hair behind her ear, his heart softening as he looked at her sleepy expression.

He had just been passing by and wanted to come up to see if she was sleeping well.

"Oh..."

Cai Xiaotang replied in a daze, and then...

She stared wide-eyed at Li Xiao, looking completely bewildered.

Li Xiao was truly charmed by her cuteness; just as he was about to take her back to bed to sleep, he saw Cai Xiaotang suddenly looking around, as if searching for something.

Then, she suddenly picked up an insulated bag from beside the table.

"This is for you..."

She squinted her eyes and shoved the bag into Li Xiao's arms.

"For me?"

Li Xiao lowered his gaze to glance at it, only then discovering that it contained food packed in an insulated container.

Cai Xiaotang nodded: "Mm... I saved it for you, it might be a bit cold... the chefs are all asleep, they have to prepare for tomorrow's banquet...

You... just make do with it..."

She seemed extremely sleepy, her voice drawn out long, making her incredibly adorable.

Li Xiao felt a warmth in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before suddenly rising within him.

As a grown man, it wouldn't matter if he missed a meal.

But this feeling of being cared for... was a first.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly set the bag down on the table.

"I am indeed a bit hungry, thank you for saving dinner for me..."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, precisely locking onto Cai Xiaotang's slightly parted lips.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened abruptly; this time, she was truly wide awake.

"Li..."

She only managed to say one word before her breath was completely taken away.

The man seemed truly famished, but he wasn't as aggressive as usual; instead, he gently lingered over her lips, as if savoring a delicious little snack.

"Li Xiao..."

Cai Xiaotang's heart rate spiked instantly, and she used all her willpower to push him away slightly, murmuring softly: "Don't mess around... I'm so sleepy..."

Her tone carried an unconscious hint of coquettishness.

Li Xiao's eyes darkened, and without a word, he scooped her up horizontally!

"What are you doing!"

Cai Xiaotang was startled again.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, smiling wantonly: "Aren't you sleepy? I'm taking you to bed."

After he finished speaking, he had already reached the bedside and carefully placed Cai Xiaotang onto the bed.

He then planted a light kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep."

Li Xiao didn't do anything else this time; he gently left those two words and suddenly stood up.

"You're leaving already?"

Cai Xiaotang grabbed him almost subconsciously.

Li Xiao paused, instantly looking at her left hand, which was clutching him, with a teasing expression.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

It was her hand that had a mind of its own!

It had nothing to do with her!
