Chapter 818: Why Are You So Cute

Cai Xiaotang was still a bit awkward, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "It's nothing, go... go upstairs and rest first."

As she spoke, she cast a glance at Laoqi, who had been standing to the side for a long time.

Laoqi received the signal instantly, hurriedly grabbed Luo Wanwan's suitcase, and headed upstairs.

Luo Wanwan also followed closely and said: "Then you two should go upstairs and rest quickly too. I'm sorry, it's all because of me that your rest was delayed..."

Cai Xiaotang smiled, exchanged a few more polite words, and then turned to go upstairs with Li Xiao.

"Cough..."

Li Xiao gave a light cough and deliberately leaned in close to Cai Xiaotang's ear.

"You really let her stay? Our Xiao Tang is truly very kind..."

His voice was not loud, just enough for the two of them to hear.

Cai Xiaotang didn't speak, just rolled her eyes at him, then reached out and pinched his waist, neither too hard nor too soft.

Seeing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud and deliberately reached out to pinch Cai Xiaotang's cheek; the atmosphere was simply incredibly sweet.

But in the eyes of Luo Wanwan, who was left behind, it was genuine "flirting."

She watched the little interactions between the two in front of her, emotions churning in the depths of her eyes.

The relationship between Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang seemed better than he had imagined...

But they had clearly only been married for half a year!

Li Xiao had never been like this with her back then...

Luo Wanwan secretly clenched her fists, suddenly thought of something, and a dark glint flashed fiercely in her eyes.

Heh... it doesn't matter.

During the time she stayed here, she would properly "test" just how good their relationship really was.

One must know that when a woman's jealousy flares up, she will stop at nothing.

If Cai Xiaotang annoys Li Xiao...

Then by that time, it will collapse on its own.

The next day—Li Xiao had nothing to be busy with and slept straight until dawn.

The spot beside him was empty; Cai Xiaotang had already left for work.

Thinking of how someone had "tossed" him about in the morning when she got up, Li Xiao couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Just as he was thinking about whether to call and check on her, he heard his bedroom door suddenly being knocked on.

Li Xiao rolled out of bed and pulled the door open.

Immediately, he saw Lao Wu, who was responsible for taking care of Luo Wanwan, standing outside with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Asura, there's a matter..."

Lao Wu opened his mouth, then stopped, seemingly thinking about how to phrase it.

Li Xiao also frowned accordingly: "What is it? Speak your mind."

Only then did Lao Wu say: "It's like this, I was changing the dressing on Wanwan's wound this morning and discovered that the area around her wound is red and swollen, seemingly worse than before. Logically, this shouldn't be the case, so I asked her if she had eaten anything, and then I discovered that Madam yesterday... seemed to have stewed soup for Wanwan."

"Xiao Tang?"

Li Xiao was stunned, instantly understood what Lao Wu meant, and immediately retorted: "Xiao Tang couldn't have put anything random in it."

"That's not what I meant..."

Lao Wu hurriedly waved his hands and then explained: "Madam might not have paid attention and accidentally added some kelp to the soup, but kelp is considered a 'trigger food'; people with wounds who eat it will indeed have slight inflammation and the effect of the wound worsening. I think Madam must have been careless, otherwise... perhaps you could give her a slight reminder, so that Madam doesn't... next time..."

"I understand."

Li Xiao understood what was going on, pondered for two seconds, and then asked: "What is Wanwan doing right now?"

Lao Wu hurriedly replied: "I just finished treating her wound, and she is resting now."

"Then don't disturb her for now."

Li Xiao pondered for two seconds and then continued: "After Wanwan has rested well, you apologize to her on my behalf, and then have the kitchen specifically handle her diet, making sure it's lighter. As for the rest, I'll trouble you to take care of her. As for Xiao Tang's side, don't let her know about this; she meant well."

"Yes."

Lao Wu nodded and turned to leave.

Li Xiao closed the door, a look of surprise finally appearing on his face.

Xiao Tang actually stewed soup for Wanwan?

This really was... far beyond his expectations.

Evening—Cai Xiaotang finished work and finally returned to the villa, heading straight upstairs as soon as she entered.

Just as she opened the door, she saw someone lounging by the bed reading a book.

Scanning the book he was holding, Cai Xiaotang suddenly thought of the one Luo Wanwan had been reading earlier, and her heart felt a little sour.

Li Xiao had already looked over and took the initiative to say with a smile: "You're back? Come..."

He beckoned to Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang tossed her bag aside and wandered over.

And just as she got close, she was pulled and pressed directly into his arms!

"What are you doing..."

Cai Xiaotang moved her body slightly, and the little bit of "sourness" in her heart vanished instantly because of Li Xiao's intimate gesture.

Then, sure enough, she heard someone whisper in her ear: "Not doing anything, can't I give you a hug?"

"Tch..."

Cai Xiaotang pouted, not refuting him, though her eyes and brows couldn't help but curve upward.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao say in a low voice: "I heard... a kind little fairy stewed soup for the wounded person staying in our house yesterday?"

"How did you know?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, the expression on her face becoming somewhat subtle.

Li Xiao, however, said unhurriedly, "That's not important; what's important is, how could you make food for anyone other than me?"

"Huh?"

Cai Xiaotang was caught off guard by his suddenly leaping topic.

Li Xiao curled his lips, pinched her fingertips, and kissed them.

"Still don't understand? My meaning is, Wanwan lives here and has people specifically to take care of her; you don't need to do these things for her. Even if you make something delicious, you should only let me taste it alone, understand?"

His tone was filled with a thick sense of possessiveness.

Cai Xiaotang felt her face heat up from what he said; originally wanting to explain, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

After two seconds of silence, she hurriedly pulled her hand away and helplessly promised, "Rest assured, there definitely won't be a next time! When I was stewing the soup, I didn't know she was your ex-girlfriend. I was just thinking that as a girl without anyone to rely on, she might feel a bit reserved living here, so I wanted to get on better terms with her..."

If she had known earlier, she absolutely wouldn't have done a single extra thing!

At most, she would have just greeted her if they bumped into each other!

"Pfft..."

Li Xiao couldn't help but be amused by her slightly depressed and aggrieved little expression.

"Why are you so cute?"

He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss Cai Xiaotang again, his eyes full of unconcealable affection, and simply took the opportunity to pull her down onto the bed and wantonly "bully" her.

The corridor—Luo Wanwan stood at the corner with a gloomy face, listening to the faint sound of the two laughing in the room not far away, and bit her lower lip until it bled.

Li Xiao clearly knew her wound was inflamed, yet he hadn't come to look at it even once all day!

Did he really have only that Cai Xiaotang in his eyes!

Heh...

She would not give up.

Just wait... we'll see!
