Chapter 836: Acting Spoiled Only With You

"Careful!"

Li Xiao's reaction was sharp; almost subconsciously, he turned and caught Luo Wanwan!

"Clang!"

The crutch fell, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.

The footsteps on the stairs stopped at the same time.

"Thank you..."

Luo Wanwan leaned into Li Xiao's embrace, feeling the familiar hold, her heart surging with turbulent waves.

Finally...

She could finally feel Li Xiao's warmth again.

But the next second—Li Xiao had already let her go, bent down to pick up the crutch, and placed it into her hands.

Then, without looking at her again, he turned directly and explained toward the stairs, looking slightly flustered: "Xiao Tang, I was just chatting with Wanwan for a while..."

Luo Wanwan steadied herself with the crutch, raised her eyes to meet Cai Xiaotang's shocked and complex gaze, smiled silently to herself, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

She then immediately put on a flustered expression and followed up with an apology: "Xiao Tang, I just didn't stand steady, please don't misunderstand..."

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly at the two people before her, the scene of Luo Wanwan throwing herself into Li Xiao's arms still playing in her mind.

She knew that if Li Xiao hadn't caught Luo Wanwan at that moment, Luo Wanwan would have fallen.

But...

Why were the two of them chatting together first thing in the morning?

What important matter required them to seek each other out the moment they opened their eyes?

Cai Xiaotang felt sour inside, yet was also a bit angry at herself for being this way; after a long silence, she could only stiffly say: "Then... you two continue chatting, I'm still a bit sleepy, I'm going back to take a nap."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs without looking back.

"Xiao Tang!!!"

Hearing this, Li Xiao was stunned, then hurriedly chased after her, leaving Luo Wanwan where she stood.

Luo Wanwan glanced toward the stairs, curling her lips in disdain.

Heh...

Can't even handle this little trick?

So what if Li Xiao trusts Cai Xiaotang?

What about Cai Xiaotang?

Can she really be completely unbothered by the contact between her and Li Xiao?

Impossible.

She understands women too well.

Women are jealous creatures.

Today's incident will be like a thorn, stuck in Cai Xiaotang's heart.

When this thorn accumulates to a certain point, she will become neurotic, become bitter and mean, and then dump all these emotions onto Li Xiao.

Slowly becoming tiresome.

The final result... will naturally be abandonment.

However, that is no longer her concern.

Upstairs—Cai Xiaotang heard Li Xiao chasing after her, but she didn't stop for a second, went straight into her room, and didn't forget to slam the door shut!

The expected loud bang didn't occur, but her wrist was grabbed instead.

"Xiao Tang, listen to my explanation..."

"Are you feeling guilty?"

Cai Xiaotang stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Xiao was taken aback by her question and asked in confusion: "I didn't do anything, why would I feel guilty?"

"Then what is there for you to explain to me? I already saw it just now; she almost fell, and you caught her, it's that simple."

Cai Xiaotang spoke rapidly; although she was stating facts, her entire face was written with the word "angry."

Li Xiao paused for a moment, then couldn't help but be amused by her appearance.

"You saw it all, so why are you still so angry? Jealous?"

Li Xiao deliberately poked her cheek to tease her.

"Stop bothering me!"

Cai Xiaotang impatiently brushed his hand away and asked crossly: "What were you chatting with her about first thing in the morning?"

"Nothing much, just asking about her plans after her injury heals, and some things from the past."

Li Xiao answered truthfully.

Cai Xiaotang, however, suddenly narrowed her eyes sharply.

"Things from the past?"

She repeated these words, suddenly feeling even more sour inside, and couldn't help but mutter: "So that's just going to reminisce... and maybe recall your younger days while you're at it..."

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she couldn't help but picture a scene in her mind of the two of them sweetly reminiscing about their time as lovers.

Then, her forehead was flicked not too lightly and not too heavily.

"What do you mean by recalling younger days? Am I very old now?"

Li Xiao feigned annoyance and added: "I had some things I wanted to ask her, that's why I went over this morning."

"That..."

Cai Xiaotang still wanted to say something more.

Li Xiao, however, suddenly bent down and pecked her on the lips.

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened instantly, and she fell silent.

Immediately after, she saw the person before her suddenly smile playfully, his tone also somewhat insufferable as he said: "I was still hesitating before about whether to let Wanwan come here to recover from her injuries, but why do I suddenly feel that this decision seems quite correct now? After all, every time you get jealous, it makes people feel it's very interesting..."

"Interesting my foot!"

Hearing him tease her, Cai Xiaotang instantly pinched his face in annoyance and began to angrily bring up old scores.

"It's as if you've never been jealous yourself! Who was it that, despite being an old man, acted like a hot-headed youth and went to race in a motorcycle competition without even saying a word! Weren't you afraid of falling apart from a crash!"

"But... in the end... didn't I win..."

Li Xiao was not angry even though his cheeks were being pulled by her; he answered intermittently, and from time to time, he cast a smug look at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and only then did she suddenly recall the result of that competition; her expression instantly became somewhat subtle.

Oh, right...

Li Xiao had won that competition!

Tsk...

How did it seem like she had praised him in disguise!

Cai Xiaotang let go of her hands, too lazy to pay him any more mind, and walked directly toward the outside of the bedroom.

Yet, that person, like a giant sticky rice cake, suddenly pressed against her from behind and circled her directly in his arms.

"Let go, I'm going to eat breakfast!"

Cai Xiaotang lowered her head to pry his fingers apart.

Li Xiao, however, refused to let go no matter what, deliberately leaning close to her ear and asking with a smile: "Tell me first, are you still angry? If you're not angry, I'll let you go eat!"

"Stop acting shamelessly here!"

As soon as Cai Xiaotang heard this, the strength in her hands increased instantly.

But no matter what she did, she could not pry Li Xiao's hands apart.

She even heard him say righteously: "Then you must cherish such an opportunity, after all, I only act shamelessly toward you alone..."

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang was almost angered into laughter, so she had to threaten: "If you don't let go, I'm going to bite you!!!"

"Go ahead and bite."

Li Xiao was not flustered in the slightest and simply extended his other hand toward Cai Xiaotang's mouth.

A dark glint flashed across the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes.

This was something he asked for himself!

She deliberately ground her teeth and opened her mouth slightly.

Just at this moment—"Knock, knock, knock—"

The bedroom door was suddenly knocked on by someone.

Li Xiao stopped instantly and looked toward the bedroom door.

Cai Xiaotang's expression, in particular, became extremely complicated in an instant.

The sound of their playing around just now had not been small.

No matter who it was, they should have heard the gist of it outside.

She took a deep breath, immediately pushed Li Xiao away, and hurriedly walked over to pull open the bedroom door.

Immediately after, she saw Lao Wu standing outside the door.

"Madam."

Lao Wu greeted Cai Xiaotang, then immediately looked toward Li Xiao.

"Li Xiao, I have some matters... I would like to ask you about."

Hearing his tone and seeing his expression, Cai Xiaotang was suddenly startled in her heart.

What is going on?

Why is Lao Wu so serious?

It seems, he appears to be in a bad mood?
