Chapter 815: Where Did He Go Wrong?

~7 min read 1,318 words

Before Luo Wanwan could finish speaking, her body suddenly swayed violently!

"Careful!"

Cai Xiaotang's mind was still in a whirl, but she subconsciously reached out to steady her arm, then hurriedly let go, her face full of bewilderment.

"Xiao Tang, I'm truly sorry..."

Luo Wanwan also looked nervous, her mouth not stopping as she apologized to Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang waved her hand, not speaking, her ears buzzing.

Everything was just too unbelievable... She needed time to properly digest it all.

Li Xiao's ex-girlfriend, who had passed away eight years ago... had suddenly come back to life?

And he had even brought her back directly?

And he hadn't explained a single word to her?

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down as quickly as possible.

Then she spoke slowly: "Could... could you please explain to me what is going on?"

"This..."

Luo Wanwan frowned slightly, still wearing that apologetic expression, and after a two-second pause, she whispered in reply.

"As you can see, I was indeed injured. As for what happened eight years ago... I think it's better for Li Xiao to explain it to you himself, but you must trust him; there really is nothing between us anymore!"

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, only nodding lightly.

"Um..."

She opened her mouth, thinking of how the two of them had just had a "friendly" exchange, and felt a complex mix of emotions, suddenly not knowing what to say.

After a long while—

Cai Xiaotang finally gathered her thoughts and said softly: "You should rest first, I'm going back to my room."

Having said that, she forced a smile at Luo Wanwan and turned to leave.

Luo Wanwan watched Cai Xiaotang leave in silence, listening to her walk away, and the look of guilt on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

The soup set aside was still wisping with heat; she picked it up, got off the bed, and walked toward the bathroom.

Hmph...

She wouldn't deign to eat anything made by that woman!

Luo Wanwan stood before the toilet, intending to pour all the soup inside, but suddenly noticed something and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She looked for two seconds, then picked up the spoon and stirred the soup twice.

Then she leaned in closer, sniffed the scent, and a dark glint suddenly flashed in her eyes.

The next second—

She actually turned and left!

Luo Wanwan returned to the bedside, brought the bowl to her lips, and drank it all without hesitation!

The small bowl of soup was soon empty.

Setting down the empty bowl, Luo Wanwan suddenly laughed.

On the other side—

Cai Xiaotang was alone in her room, sitting restlessly.

Countless possibilities were already unfolding in her mind.

Why did Luo Wanwan suddenly appear?

Did she come back for Li Xiao?

But she just said there was nothing between her and Li Xiao anymore...

No, no.

Could she possibly say to her face that she was back to steal him away?

Then what about Li Xiao?

What was Li Xiao thinking?

Knowing full well that she was his ex-girlfriend, and that she herself was living here, why did he still bring her back?

Would the two of them... rekindle their old flame next?

Cai Xiaotang's breath hitched; just thinking about it, she couldn't help but imagine the two of them being intimate and romantic together!

"Damn Li Xiao! Why didn't you tell me!"

Cai Xiaotang cursed angrily and simply took out her phone.

But facing Li Xiao's number, she hesitated.

After pondering for a long while, she simply put the phone back and lay on the bed, feeling depressed.

What if the two of them really got back together?

Then... should she withdraw?

Anyway, they hadn't broken up before; it was only because Luo Wanwan had an accident that they...

But if that were the case, she would be too aggrieved!

It's all that damn scumbag Li Xiao's fault!

Why didn't he explain things clearly!

And he even let her find out!

If they really... really...

Then she would definitely give that scumbag a few hard slaps!

Then leave gracefully, and fulfill the love between those two!

It's hard to explain clearly over the phone, and it might even give someone time to find an excuse; it's better to wait for him to come back and ask him clearly in person!

The more Cai Xiaotang thought about it, the tighter her chest felt; she was so angry at herself that she was practically gnashing her teeth in hatred.

She waited like this, restless, for an entire day, until evening, when familiar footsteps finally sounded at the door.

Cai Xiaotang had already been sitting upright on the sofa; hearing the sound, she hurriedly and swiftly adjusted her posture again, her face devoid of any expression.

The next second—

The door opened.

Li Xiao sauntered in from outside, and the moment he saw Cai Xiaotang, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing her "stern and serious" appearance immediately after, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What is this for?"

He asked curiously, walking toward Cai Xiaotang.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, he hurriedly asked: "Why the long face? Who has made our little pufferfish angry again?"

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, only looking at him with icy eyes.

Li Xiao was even more puzzled, so he had no choice but to suddenly bring out his right hand, which he had been hiding behind his back when he entered, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Look what this is! I happened to pass by while driving back, and guessing that someone must be craving it, I specifically brought a cup back!"

Cai Xiaotang looked at the thing in his hand, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

What Li Xiao was carrying in his hand was exactly the milk tea from the shop she loved most.

Her heart felt as if it had been pricked by something tiny, feeling a bit sour.

The emotions she had been holding back all day finally erupted at this moment.

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang finally spoke one word in a low voice, and realizing her emotions were unstable, she hurriedly stopped.

After pausing for two seconds, she continued: "Do you have anything you want to tell me?"

She had originally wanted to question him directly.

But seeing this cup of milk tea, she suddenly felt a bit soft-hearted and wanted to give Li Xiao a chance to confess on his own.

"I... have something?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao was immediately full of confusion.

Was it somewhere he had made her unhappy again?

He hadn't really done anything these past two days, had he...

Li Xiao could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it, and after a moment of contemplation, he decided to coax the person in front of him first.

He sat down on the sofa and pinched Cai Xiaotang's cheek.

"So it turns out I made Miss Cai unhappy; how about, for the sake of the milk tea, you give me a clean break and let me know where I went wrong?"

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, her chest feeling even more stifled.

He actually had the nerve to ask her?

He had found his ex-girlfriend, brought the injured woman into the house, and even let her stay, yet he had no explanation and still thought he hadn't done anything wrong?

Cai Xiaotang was so angry her lungs felt like they were going to explode; her heart felt as sour as if it had been soaked in ten-year-old aged vinegar, chilling her to the bone.

She then simply stopped hiding it and asked directly: "Regarding Luo Wanwan, do you have nothing to explain to me? To think you could bring an ex-girlfriend to the door so brazenly, Li Xiao, I really underestimated you."
