Chapter 829: It Was Intentional

Ke Lin did not speak, but simply poured himself another glass of wine.

Immediately after, he heard the man beside him speak again: "Sir, if we had known it would be like this, we should have just put some medicine in that bottle of wine earlier. Anyway, that woman is going to be taken back to Shura eventually..."

"Heh, do you think Shura is a fool?"

Ke Lin gave a light scoff, finally responding, and said indifferently: "Do you think he wouldn't notice if the wine had been tampered with? But his woman... she is quite interesting. No rush, we have plenty of time to play with him slowly."

"Yes."

The man retreated to the side and stopped speaking.

On the other side—as soon as Cai Xiaotang returned to the villa, she ran into Li Xiao, who had also just entered not long ago.

She was still holding the wine in her arms, and the moment she saw Li Xiao, her expression instantly became flustered, and she subconsciously wanted to hide it!

But Li Xiao had already seen her.

"What are you holding in your hands?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked toward Cai Xiaotang with a thoughtful look on his face.

In her desperation, Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to make up an excuse: "I... I bought a bottle of soy sauce!!"

"Is that so?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing her.

As he spoke, he was already standing in front of her, reaching out his arm to grab the hand Cai Xiaotang was hiding behind her back!

"Hey, you..."

Cai Xiaotang was startled and subconsciously tried to dodge, her expression filled with annoyance.

This is just too unlucky!

Of all times, she had to run into this guy right downstairs!

She had wanted to hide it first and give him a surprise later...

"What's so interesting about soy sauce!"

Cai Xiaotang said while dodging.

The more she acted this way, the more curious Li Xiao couldn't help but be, and he retorted: "Why can't I see the soy sauce?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang was suddenly choked up, and in a moment of carelessness, her arm was grabbed by him.

Li Xiao curled his lips at her with a face full of triumph.

She didn't dare to use force, fearing she would break the wine she had worked so hard to get during the struggle, so she could only glare at Li Xiao and take the bottle out, stuffing it directly into his arms.

"There! It's just this! It's for you!"

Cai Xiaotang said irritably, feeling some regret that her "surprise" plan had fallen through before she even had a chance to carry it out.

Li Xiao looked at the familiar wine bottle in front of him, stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise.

Immediately after, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, the corners of his eyes and brows revealing the words "in a great mood."

"Where did you find this?"

He asked curiously.

Cai Xiaotang felt it was a bit embarrassing to say she bought it from someone else, so she feigned mystery: "I have my ways, just drink it and don't worry about where it came from."

"Oh?"

Li Xiao deliberately dragged out his voice, suddenly looking at Cai Xiaotang thoughtfully.

That gaze was far too direct, making it impossible to avoid.

Cai Xiaotang felt creeped out by his staring and finally asked helplessly: "If you have something to say, just say it! Why are you staring at me!"

"Ahem..."

Li Xiao deliberately coughed, then said with a half-smile: "Although I really like this kind of wine, it... isn't like I can't live without it. Even if it were discontinued, as long as I wanted to drink it, I could actually get my hands on it..."

Before he had finished speaking, he saw Cai Xiaotang's expression change, looking somewhat displeased.

Li Xiao hurriedly seized the opportunity to change his tone and continued: "But... considering that someone was jealous, which is why she specifically got a bottle of wine for me, I am still... very touched..."

"Who is jealous!"

Cai Xiaotang's secret was hit upon by Li Xiao's words, and she immediately looked at him with a face full of annoyance.

The smile on Li Xiao's face grew even deeper; he set the wine bottle aside, playfully poked Cai Xiaotang's cheek, and said in a teasing tone.

"If you weren't jealous, why would you give me a bottle of the exact same wine? You should know, as long as it's from you, I would accept even a leaf picked up from the ground, so..."

"That's what you said!"

Cai Xiaotang was almost amused by him and deliberately followed his lead: "I'll change my profession to street sweeper tomorrow! I'll bring back every fallen leaf I find for you!"

"Alright, then do you want me to accompany you to sweep?"

Li Xiao asked with a smile.

"Tch... who wants you to accompany me..."

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Meeting Li Xiao's smiling gaze, her heart instantly felt a bit soft and tender.

It was unclear who had closed the distance first, causing the air to suddenly become ambiguous.

When she came back to her senses, their lips were already incredibly close.

Cai Xiaotang heard her heart pounding wildly in her ears because of someone's proximity, and she couldn't help but close her eyes slightly...

Just at this moment—"Thump."

A small sound suddenly came from the direction of the stairs.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality and subconsciously turned her head, only to see Luo Wanwan standing at the top of the stairs looking embarrassed.

The sound just now must have been her crutch hitting the floor.

"Sorry..."

Seeing that she had interrupted the two of them, Luo Wanwan hurriedly apologized.

Cai Xiaotang instantly snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing red immediately, and her mood felt somewhat subtle.

Damn it!

What kind of Shura field is this!

To be seen by Li Xiao's ex-girlfriend in such an intimate scene with him?

"No... nothing..."

Cai Xiaotang let out a dry laugh, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere stiffened for an instant.

Luo Wanwan slowly turned around and said, "I just came down to pour a glass of water; I won't disturb you two any further..."

As she spoke, she walked in the direction she had come from.

But as she turned, a dark glint flashed across her eyes, and she suppressed all her hatred deep into her heart.

She indeed hadn't come down on purpose...

But she had interrupted them on purpose!

She didn't want to endure it anymore...

Every time she saw Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang being so intimate, she wished she could tear Cai Xiaotang to pieces!

Soon...

Very soon, Li Xiao would be hers.

When that time comes, she would find a place where no one else was, and live together with him.

She would make sure that in Li Xiao's eyes, there would only be her for the rest of his life.

Watching Luo Wanwan's figure disappear, Cai Xiaotang finally came back to her senses and shot Li Xiao an annoyed glare.

Li Xiao's expression was also somewhat subtle, but he deliberately leaned into Cai Xiaotang's ear and asked in a very punchable way, "Shall we... go back to the room and continue?"

"Who's continuing with you!"

Cai Xiaotang refused without a second thought; the heat on her face had not yet faded, and as she spoke, she suddenly thought of the incident at the bar earlier, and her expression suddenly changed.

"I can't be bothered with you! I have something to tell Baobao! I'm going to give her a call!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she hurriedly took her phone and went upstairs; as soon as she entered the room, she dialed Jiang Baobao directly.

The call was answered quickly.

Cai Xiaotang spoke directly: "Baobao, I have something major to tell you! Guess what I heard today!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Jiang Baobao was startled upon hearing this; thinking that the two of them had only just parted ways not long ago, she didn't know what important matter she could possibly have.

Cai Xiaotang didn't speak; she cautiously glanced toward the door, confirmed that she had closed it properly, and then lowered her voice and whispered, "Before I came home just now, I went to a bar, and guess who I ran into inside!"

"Ah? What were you doing at a bar?"

Jiang Baobao was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
