Chapter 816: Wishing You an Early Blessing of Children

Cai Xiaotang looked at the person before her, her eyes filled with hurt.

Li Xiao was also stunned by her question, standing frozen on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

The air was silent for an instant.

Cai Xiaotang had imagined ten thousand answers, but she never expected that when the confrontation finally came, Li Xiao would not say a single word.

After a long while—

She let out a self-deprecating scoff.

"Forget it, you don't have to say anything."

Cai Xiaotang suddenly stood up, looking down at Li Xiao from her height.

She happened to meet his gaze, which held some inexplicable emotion.

Li Xiao opened his mouth, seemingly about to speak.

But Cai Xiaotang suddenly interrupted him.

"Anyway, I've been thinking about it all day. Since your ex-girlfriend is back, there's no need for me to stay. If you want to have a foot in both camps, then let me tell you, you'd better not dream of it! If you're going to do something like this, you'd better have the skill to not get caught. Unfortunately, you can't fool me! So I can't be bothered to tangle with you two. I wish you a hundred years of harmony, may you fly together like birds, be joined in marriage, and have children soon! That's it!"

Cai Xiaotang rattled off the long string of words without even taking a breath.

As she spoke, she turned around quickly; her eyes suddenly stung, and her heart gave a sharp tug.

She hurriedly looked up, not wanting to cry and lose face.

She was the one dumping this scumbag Li Xiao now!

So there was nothing to be sad about!

They had been entangled for so long, it was time for it to end!

And that ring the guy gave her before, she had to return it to him quickly!

She didn't care for it at all!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her heart was already twisted into a knot, and she didn't notice that Li Xiao had already stood up with a smile.

"Cai Xiaotang."

Li Xiao suddenly grabbed Cai Xiaotang's wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

Cai Xiaotang was slightly startled, and then she fell into a familiar and warm embrace, immediately beginning to struggle.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me! I'm telling you... mmph..."

Before she could finish, her lips were firmly blocked.

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes abruptly, a burst of anger instantly rising in her heart.

This stinky hooligan!

Could he not just talk properly!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, she suddenly felt the tenderness on her lips pull away just as abruptly.

Li Xiao did not go too far; he just touched them lightly and then let her go.

Cai Xiaotang was furious, however, and immediately raised her hand, nearly slapping Li Xiao across the face!

"So fierce?"

Li Xiao caught her wrist with quick reflexes, feeling both amused and helpless.

Then he said with a helpless smile: "Is your reaction time too slow? You're only thinking of getting jealous now? Didn't you agree to it yesterday?"

"When did I agree!"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned by his words, her face full of disbelief.

Had she been kicked in the head by a donkey!

How could she possibly have agreed to him bringing his ex-girlfriend back!

And living right under her nose!

Li Xiao's expression also turned somewhat subtle, and he hurriedly said: "Yesterday in the living room, didn't you say that since she was just here to recover from her injuries, you'd help if you could..."

"But I didn't know she was your ex-girlfriend!"

Cai Xiaotang shouted at him, finally realizing something.

No wonder Li Xiao was acting so generous yesterday...

So he thought she knew Luo Wanwan's identity?

Both of them fell into silence.

The air suddenly became a bit awkward.

Cai Xiaotang carefully sorted through everything, only then confirming that she indeed hadn't asked about Luo Wanwan's identity yesterday.

After a long while—

Cai Xiaotang was still a bit angry and said: "Why didn't you tell me!"

Li Xiao finally realized where the "crux" of her anger lay, hurriedly wrapping his arms around her and apologizing honestly.

"It's my fault, don't be angry, okay? I thought you knew Wanwan's identity and just agreed to let her stay, and I wasn't sure if you wanted to hear anything else, so I spent all day today thinking about how to bring it up to you. I didn't expect you to misunderstand..."

"What exactly is going on! You explain it to me clearly!"

Cai Xiaotang glared at Li Xiao crossly, feeling more and more confused.

Only then did Li Xiao hurriedly explain everything: when he met Luo Wanwan, how she was injured, how they met again, and how he discovered her recent situation was not good.

After hearing about Luo Wanwan's plight, Cai Xiaotang fell silent.

"So, can you believe me now?"

Li Xiao held Cai Xiaotang's hand, his fingers interlaced with hers.

Then, thinking of her long speech earlier, he couldn't help but find it amusing and teased her on purpose:

"How many messy things did you think about today? Hmm? You even imagined 'having children soon'? You know quite a lot of phrases; you said a whole bunch without repeating any. Should I praise you for your elementary school Chinese being pretty good?"

"You!"

Cai Xiaotang's mind was already in a mess, and hearing him say that made her even more furious; she gave him an annoyed punch, still feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Li Xiao, however, suddenly changed the subject.

"Xiao Tang, I know what you are worried about, but believe me, things between Wanwan and me are already in the past. The only person I like now is you. I only feel guilt toward Wanwan and want to do my best to make it up to her. Having her stay here is only because she has injuries, and it is more convenient with Lao Wu looking after her. As for anything else, I will not concern myself with it at all. Do you know what the first thing I thought of was when I walked through the door just now?"

"What?"

Cai Xiaotang's expression had already improved quite a bit, and she asked back casually, following his lead.

Li Xiao, however, reached out a finger and poked Cai Xiaotang's forehead dotingly.

"I thought the whole way about what a surprised expression you would have when you saw the milk tea, and as soon as I walked in, I hurried over to find you. So... promise me, stop letting your imagination run wild, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and her eyes drifted toward the table.

Immediately after, she heard that person's insufferable voice ring out again.

"Sigh... the milk tea has gone cold. It seems my surprise for today was prepared in vain, and I even nearly got slapped..."

"Who told you not to explain yourself clearly!"

Cai Xiaotang's expression was a bit awkward, and just as she finished speaking, Li Xiao pulled her hand and pressed it against his cheek.

"Then what about now? Now that it's been explained clearly, do you still want to hit me?"

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with a deliberately pitiful expression, like some kind of small animal that had been wronged.

Cai Xiaotang's heart had long since softened, but—

Her hand was still a little itchy.

She pursed her lips and suddenly gave Li Xiao's cheek a hard pinch!

The man's handsome face instantly became somewhat comical.

Cai Xiaotang, however, couldn't help but lift the corners of her lips high.

"You... mm... let go..."

Li Xiao's speech was muffled from being pinched, and seeing this, he simply reached out his own hand to pinch Cai Xiaotang's cheek.

The two of them started messing around on the sofa just like that.

Just at this moment—

A "clang" sound suddenly came from outside the door!
