Chapter 792: Cai Xiaotang and Li Beijue's Sweet Nothings

~8 min read 1,401 words

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, squinting her eyes to size up the person in front of her for a long time, only then discovering that while his gaze seemed to have changed slightly, his face was not flushed like someone who was drunk.

"What are you staring at me for?"

Seeing her say nothing, Li Xiao leaned in closer, meeting her gaze.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang hurriedly retract her gaze, saying unhurriedly, "Nothing, let's go back and rest then..."

As she spoke, she turned to walk away.

But she was suddenly pulled by the waist from behind.

"Li Xiao!"

Cai Xiaotang felt a tingle run through her body; without even turning her head, she could already feel the scorching body temperature of the man.

"Shh..."

Li Xiao extended his index finger to his lips, his expression even more "innocent" than before, and explained with a straight face, "I'm drunk, help me out."

Cai Xiaotang's expression shifted slightly, her gaze immediately falling back onto his face; she couldn't help but want to laugh, yet she didn't push him away.

She wondered what Li Xiao would be like when drunk?

Would he do things that were completely out of character?

She absolutely had to have her phone ready; no matter what he did, she would record it all properly!

She definitely couldn't miss out on this kind of "dark history"!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and the little schemes in her heart were clicking away.

The two of them walked through the garden, heading in the direction of their residence.

Li Xiao really seemed to have drunk a bit too much; his walk wasn't as steady as usual, and his steps were somewhat slow.

"So you actually have times when you get drunk..."

Seeing that a hint of intoxication had finally appeared between his brows, Cai Xiaotang whispered a snide remark.

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he didn't reply, but the hand around her waist tightened a little more.

He rarely drank this much...

Today, first, it was because the wedding had finally been completed perfectly.

Second... it was because a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Luo Wanwan was still alive...

And her body had recovered, and there was someone by her side to take care of her.

The guilt he had carried for eight years could finally be set down, and then...

Li Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, just in time to see Cai Xiaotang's fluttering eyelashes.

They were curved and perky, as if they had hooked directly into his heart.

Li Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Cai Xiaotang stopped along with him, hurriedly asking, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Or do you want to throw up? There are no trash cans here, you have to hold on..."

As she spoke, she pulled Li Xiao and continued to walk forward.

But she was pulled back by the force, dragged directly into his embrace.

The man's embrace was scorching hot.

It brought a flush to Cai Xiaotang's cheeks as well.

"Li Xiao! We're outside!"

Cai Xiaotang felt a moment of panic, sensing that this person was starting to get restless again, and hurriedly spoke up to remind him.

Li Xiao, however, chuckled softly.

"So... it would be fine in the room?"

"That's not what I meant!"

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly retorted, her breath filled with the scent of the alcohol lingering between them, and she suddenly felt a bit dizzy herself.

Tsk...

It was clearly Li Xiao who was drunk, so why did it feel like... she was about to get drunk too?

Cai Xiaotang's expression was dazed for a moment.

But in the span of a second, Li Xiao seized the opportunity.

His scorching breath suddenly bore down on her, and just as they were about to entangle—a tiny sound suddenly came from ahead!

Damn!

Someone was coming!

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, hurriedly pushed the person in front of her away, and then moved with lightning speed to pull him into the nearby bushes!

Li Xiao actually didn't resist, and just like that, he was pulled into hiding by her.

The two of them crouched on the ground in a somewhat comical fashion.

Cai Xiaotang's heart was thumping, her face still showing lingering fear.

Li Xiao, however, looked at her with a composed expression, suddenly asking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why are we hiding?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned.

She seemed to have been stumped by his question.

She blinked, unable to react for a moment.

Oh yeah...

Why were they hiding?

It made it look like they were out having an affair!

Why did she subconsciously feel the need to hide just now!

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang smiled awkwardly at Li Xiao, just about to pull him up.

Immediately after, she heard—"Baobao, are you tired? Do you want to go back to the room to rest?"

Li Beijue's voice suddenly came from ahead!

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes slightly, the expression on her face suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

The people who had come were actually Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue!

Hadn't they already left the banquet earlier?

On such a wonderful wedding night, why weren't they rushing back to their room, but instead still in the garden?

If she stood up now, she would definitely be discovered...

In the middle of the night, for her and Li Xiao to be hiding here, no matter how she thought about it, it was very strange!

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, having no choice but to obediently hide behind the bushes without moving, intending to wait for them to leave.

Outside—Jiang Baobao shook her head, looking at Li Beijue with a beaming smile.

Immediately after, she heard him pretend to be dissatisfied and say: "The Wishing Tree can be visited tomorrow too; shouldn't we go back and rest first tonight?"

"I just wanted to make a wish early. I didn't have time all day today, and now that I've finally managed to get some free time, of course I can't delay it..."

Jiang Baobao answered in a low voice. After finishing, she suddenly cast a quick glance at Li Beijue and continued: "Besides, I'm not doing it for myself, it's... for our four little treasures."

Li Beijue shook his head with amusement and took her hand: "Yes, their place in your heart is almost surpassing mine..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence, looking at Jiang Baobao in disbelief.

Jiang Baobao pursed her lips and smiled gently, her eyes filled with moonlight.

"Baobao, what did you just say..."

Li Beijue finally came back to his senses, the expression on his face rarely showing some bewilderment, which then turned into surprise, as he asked as if unsure: "Four...?"

As he spoke, his hand couldn't help but slowly press against Jiang Baobao's lower abdomen, carefully feeling the little life not yet formed inside.

"When did this happen? How long has it been? Why are you only telling me now?"

Jiang Baobao was amused by his barrage of questions and hurriedly replied: "It's only been a little over a month. I only found out a while ago, and today... I wanted to give you a surprise... mm..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her lips suddenly felt hot.

Li Beijue's kiss was eager yet gentle, pecking at her lips again and again, full of cherished love.

The surroundings were silent.

There were only the heartbeats of two people pressed tightly together.

Jiang Baobao closed her eyes, leaning into the familiar embrace, exchanging sweet breaths with Li Beijue.

Under the flowers and the moon, the atmosphere was just right.

If...

there weren't two people hiding behind the bushes, it would be even better.

Cai Xiaotang's legs had long since gone numb from squatting.

Hearing the two people outside suddenly stop talking and hearing small, ambiguous sounds, her face instantly turned bright red, and she was stunned like a wooden chicken, not daring to even glance at Li Xiao opposite her.

Although she had known that Baobao would tell Li Beijue about the pregnancy today, she hadn't expected them to...

Help!

Someone come and save her!

Is there any scene in this world more awkward than this?

It would be one thing if it were just her, but she was actually listening to this together with Li Xiao!
