Chapter 802: Li Xiao, are you hiding something from me?

"Are you hurt?"

Cai Xiaotang grabbed his hand, and immediately saw that not only the back of his hand, but even his wrist had some shallow scratches; they seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and some were even bruised.

"This little injury is nothing."

Li Xiao pulled back his wrist and deliberately pretended to be calm as he lowered his sleeve.

Immediately, she saw Cai Xiaotang suddenly sink her face and retort: "Then what counts as a big injury? Does it only count if you're missing an arm or a leg?"

Li Xiao was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that she seemed to be a bit angry. Just as he was about to speak, Cai Xiaotang suddenly turned and left, striding out of the room.

Li Xiao listened to her walking away, then looked down at the wounds that he didn't consider "injuries" at all, and shook his head helplessly.

The poor ice cream cake was still left abandoned to one side.

He thought for two seconds, then carefully followed the marks from earlier to cut off the prettiest little cream flower on top, intending to carry it over to coax her.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps appeared outside the door again.

Li Xiao looked over subconsciously, and saw her rushing over aggressively with a cotton swab in her hand.

"Hand!"

Ms. Cai was ruthless and concise, coldly spitting out one word.

A smile quickly filled the depths of Li Xiao's eyes, and he obediently stretched out the back of his hand.

The brown iodine spread over the wound, bringing a slight stinging sensation.

Li Xiao didn't even blink, staring straight at Cai Xiaotang, who was pouting but still cleaning his wounds with gentle movements.

One minute later—Cai Xiaotang expressionlessly threw the cotton swab in her hand into the trash can.

Li Xiao hurriedly brought over the cake at hand and said with a smile: "Eat the cake first. If you don't eat it now, it's really going to melt."

Cai Xiaotang remained silent, directly stabbing a large piece and stuffing it into her mouth, looking like "I don't want to talk right now."

Li Xiao felt warm inside, and couldn't help but be amused by her expression, deliberately teasing her: "Eating alone? Didn't we agree to eat together?"

"If you want to eat, cut it yourself."

Cai Xiaotang replied coldly with five words, and as if afraid he would come to snatch it, she carried the plate further away.

Li Xiao really did lean in, saying solemnly: "But... I just think the piece in your hand is sweeter..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he accurately kissed Cai Xiaotang's lips.

Cai Xiaotang was so startled she nearly dropped the cake on the floor; she stepped back directly, glaring at him unhappily.

Immediately, she heard a certain someone shamelessly say: "Not angry anymore, hmm? If you're still angry, I can only keep kissing you, keep kissing until... until you're not angry anymore."

"Shameless!"

Cai Xiaotang complained irritably, looking defensive.

Li Xiao suddenly thought of something, and changed the subject: "Then... we can try another way."

He suddenly blinked mysteriously at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang looked at him suspiciously.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao suddenly ask: "Miss Cai Xiaotang, would you be willing to give me your weekend so I can arrange a date?"

He had been mulling over this matter ever since he returned.

Having just dealt with that person surnamed Chu, it could serve as a deterrent to some extent.

Linke's subsequent actions would also be hindered.

He wanted to find someone to take over the mess left by the Viper, but now, not necessarily anyone would dare to take it.

"A date?"

Cai Xiaotang was full of surprise, her heart stirred slightly.

Thinking of the last time she thought it was a date, but was actually taken to an auction by someone, her expression became slightly unnatural.

Then, before she could speak, she heard Li Xiao continue: "Of course, asking is just to appear polite. Even if you don't agree, I have a way to make you agree."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

This guy was indeed more suited to being a gangster!

Knowing that resisting was useless, Cai Xiaotang had to agree: "Alright then, where do you want to go?"

Li Xiao chuckled. Naturally, he wouldn't tell the truth, deliberately keeping her in suspense: "As for that... it's a secret for now. You'll know when the weekend comes."

Cai Xiaotang had long expected this answer; she gave a light huff and didn't ask any more.

But the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

On the other side—inside a tall villa.

A young man was sitting on the sofa in the middle, swirling the wine glass in his hand, his expression dark and unclear.

He had delicate features and looked quite handsome, but the coldness in his eyes made it known at a glance that he was hard to approach.

Not long after, two people dressed as bodyguards in a hurry ran in from the main entrance.

"Sir, just as you guessed, Li Xiao has indeed appeared."

"Hmm."

The man responded, then stopped speaking.

The two men looked at each other. After a long while, one of them spoke again: "Sir, this time it must have been the negligence of that person surnamed Chu. This was originally a test you gave him; he deserved to lose his life. If he had luckily passed, he might have caused you big trouble in the future..."

"Get out."

The man frowned slightly, appearing somewhat impatient.

The two men immediately dared not say more and hurriedly turned to leave.

The living room returned to silence.

The man sipped the red wine in his glass in small mouthfuls. After a while, a cold sneer suddenly appeared at the corners of his lips.

Things... are really getting more and more interesting.

The weekend—the "date" that Cai Xiaotang had been looking forward to for several whole days had finally arrived.

She got up early in the morning to pick out an outfit, specifically applied a full face of makeup, and waited happily to head out.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the door, she would see the five people who were usually closest to Li Xiao already sitting in two other cars.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps paused, and her gaze drifted toward Li Xiao at her side.

Going on a date... does it require bringing so many people?

These are simply five high-intensity, giant lightbulbs!

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly explained, "Ahem... the place we are going is a bit large; they won't be staying near us, just following in secret."

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Laoqi leaned against the car window and teased with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam, we guarantee we'll vanish once we reach the destination! We definitely won't disturb you two!"

He usually interacted with Cai Xiaotang the most, so he was more natural when striking up a conversation.

Cai Xiaotang's ears burned, and she hurriedly said politely, "It's fine, it's livelier if everyone plays together..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled open Li Xiao's car door and sat inside.

Li Xiao, however, was not in a hurry to get in the car, but instead walked to the side of the other vehicle.

"Asura, it can be confirmed that Linke has returned to the country. His anti-reconnaissance skills are very strong; we have only obtained news of his return, and we know nothing else. But with what happened last night, we speculate that he shouldn't act rashly and will at least lie low for a period of time."

"Mm, tell the others to be careful, and report immediately if there is any situation."

Li Xiao gave a simple order before turning and walking toward his own car.

His brows were slightly furrowed, but the moment he opened the car door, he returned to his usual appearance.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Li Xiao said as he started the car.

His peripheral vision suddenly caught Cai Xiaotang staring at him with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

He asked casually.

Cai Xiaotang, however, did not speak.

She took a deep breath, then said at a rapid pace, "Li Xiao, so as not to waste your arrangements for today and not to affect my mood today, you had better tell me the truth: are you bringing so many people because you have something to take care of? Are you hiding something from me?"
