Chapter 813: Why Are You So Generous

Li Xiao was just pondering how to bring it up.

Yet he noticed the person in his arms move slightly.

Cai Xiaotang felt a bit more at ease upon hearing he wasn't injured; just as she was about to ask what was going on with Luo Wanwan, she looked up and saw Li Xiao looking conflicted, as if there was something he wanted to say.

"Xiao Tang..."

Li Xiao spoke tentatively, his usually glib mouth struggling to organize his words at this moment.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and seeing his look of being unable to speak his mind, she instantly realized what was going on.

She simply took the initiative and said, "Are you trying to tell me about the person who came here to recover from her injuries?"

Li Xiao was taken aback, and seeing her look so calm, he found it truly incredible.

She... had already seen Wanwan?

And she wasn't angry at all?

Clearly, the last time she saw her photo, she had been so angry...

Perhaps the expression on his face was just too obvious; seeing Li Xiao not speaking, Cai Xiaotang immediately gave his shoulder a light punch, feeling a bit annoyed.

"What kind of expression is that? Am I such a petty person?"

Cai Xiaotang asked, while simultaneously unable to help but find it a bit funny.

It was just a woman, after all, and she was injured; she looked like she couldn't even walk easily, so letting her stay for a few days was no big deal!

Besides, other than Li Xiao, it seemed like others knew her too; perhaps the other party even had some mysterious identity!

She wouldn't go around getting jealous just because she saw a member of the opposite sex!

Cai Xiaotang thought this, and sure enough, she saw the Li Xiao before her let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"As long as you aren't angry..."

He smiled, his tone very gratified.

Immediately after, while pulling Cai Xiaotang toward the stairs, he explained: "Her leg is injured, and she has no one to rely on right now. Financially... she is also in some difficulty. I thought I would help where I could, which is why I had someone bring her back. Once her wounds are healed, she won't be living here anymore..."

"Ah? Is she that miserable?"

Cai Xiaotang hadn't expected the other party to be so "pitiful," so she was a bit surprised and hurriedly said, "Then let her stay and recover. The environment here is better, too. Tomorrow, I'll have someone properly set up a room for her..."

"So generous?"

Li Xiao was even more surprised to hear Cai Xiaotang say this.

Cai Xiaotang, however, raised her eyebrows and immediately pinched his arm again: "Hey! That's enough! She's already so pitiful! Of course I'll help if I can! What else? Do you want me to act like a shrew and kick her out directly? What kind of image do you even have of me in your heart!"

Just as she finished speaking, the next second—

She was suddenly swept up into a bridal carry!

"Hey! Li Xiao!"

Cai Xiaotang was startled and hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Li Xiao had no intention of letting go at all; he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, then said with a smile: "In my heart, you are of course gentle, cute, and smart, and also kind-hearted, sensible, capable of hosting guests and cooking meals, and your conduct is poised and generous—you are simply the most perfect little angel in the world!"

"Cough, cough..."

Cai Xiaotang was choked by his exaggerated wording, but she couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on her face.

She then deliberately pinched Li Xiao's cheek, pretending not to believe him: "When have I ever been sensible, gentle, and cute? I suspect you are deliberately being sarcastic toward me!"

"How could that be! Everything I said is sincere!"

Li Xiao's cheek "suffered a vicious attack," but he didn't mind at all, and just like that, he carried her into the bedroom.

The door closed, hiding a room full of sweetness.

The next day—

Li Xiao had some business to attend to, so he left the house early in the morning with his people.

Cai Xiaotang's work was also reaching its final stages; she received a call from the other side saying that the senior management of the Liu family was holding a relevant meeting today, so she didn't need to report in.

Having gained a day off for nothing, Cai Xiaotang happily caught up on some sleep.

Only when she had slept enough did she climb out of bed, intending to go downstairs for breakfast.

But she didn't expect that just as she reached the dining room—

She ran into Luo Wanwan, who was just about to leave.

"Uh... hello."

Cai Xiaotang greeted her just like yesterday, still not quite used to having an unfamiliar woman suddenly added to the household.

She then saw that she was only holding two slices of bread in her hand.

"You... are you just eating this for breakfast?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and suddenly frowned: "Is there no one making breakfast?"

"It's not that."

Luo Wanwan smiled and hurriedly replied: "I just got up late myself, and my appetite isn't very good. Eating anything casual is fine; there's no need to trouble the chef to make breakfast. Besides... I never had the habit of eating breakfast anyway."

"But..."

Cai Xiaotang was taken aback upon hearing this; thinking that the other party was a guest after all, she felt a bit bad.

Immediately after, she heard Luo Wanwan say again: "I'm really fine. Did you just wake up too, Madam? Then you should hurry and go eat something."

"Right..."

Cai Xiaotang nodded subconsciously, having no choice but to stop saying anything else. She smiled at her and walked toward the kitchen.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Luo Wanwan not going upstairs, but heading straight for the garden in the back.

She saw her open the door with practiced ease and walk straight inside.

Then, after walking around, she picked up a watering can, turned to get some water at the faucet, and quietly watered the flowers.

Cai Xiaotang stared for a few seconds, her expression involuntarily becoming somewhat puzzled.

Why did she feel... as if the other person were very familiar with the environment here?

Could it be that this wasn't her first time here?

Cai Xiaotang frowned slightly, her gaze landing on Luo Wanwan's profile, and a trace of strange familiarity couldn't help but rise again.

Had she really... never seen this woman before?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she suddenly met Luo Wanwan's gaze as she looked over.

It was as if she had known all along that Cai Xiaotang was staring at her, and she smiled very kindly at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly returned a smile and withdrew her gaze, feeling a bit guilty.

*Ahem*...

She had been staring at someone like that just now; she wouldn't have made the other person misunderstand anything, would she?

A girl's thoughts are very sensitive, after all...

Moreover, looking at her demeanor just now, she seemed very afraid of causing any trouble here.

Her personality also seemed a bit introverted...

Since she was here to recover from her injuries, shouldn't she take the initiative to be a bit more friendly?

After all, no matter how you put it, she was the mistress of this place now...

Thinking of those last three words, Cai Xiaotang's face couldn't help but burn, and she immediately had an idea.

The chef had already rested at this hour; since she got up late, she generally wouldn't bother him again and basically made something to eat herself.

Cai Xiaotang opened the refrigerator, looked at the ingredients piled up inside, and her brain whirred rapidly.

If movement was inconvenient... it must be an injury to the bones or tendons, right?

Then shouldn't she stew some bone soup to properly nourish her?

That way, the other person would be able to feel her good intentions, right?

Mm!

That's decided!
