Chapter 841: Brother Li Xiao, Keep Me Company

The next day—the group set off from the villa early in the morning.

Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao rode in one car, while Luo Wanwan sat in another car with the others.

Soon, the group arrived outside the ski resort.

As Cai Xiaotang stepped out of the car, she saw that Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue had just arrived as well.

"Baobao!"

Cai Xiaotang called out a greeting and immediately ran over, full of high spirits.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Baobao turned her head, and upon seeing her, she immediately broke into a smile as well.

Then, she heard Cai Xiaotang suddenly ask in confusion: "Did those three little ones not come? Such a fun place, how could they miss it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately explained with a smile: "They have their final exams coming up soon, so I had the butler keep an eye on them at home to study properly. Besides, the ski resort isn't going anywhere; it's the same if I bring them to play during the holidays."

"That's true too..."

Cai Xiaotang nodded in complete agreement.

Just as she finished speaking, a small burst of exclamations was heard not far away.

Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao immediately looked over subconsciously.

Only then did they discover it seemed like Luo Wanwan had lost her footing and had been steadied by the others.

Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat surprised; she stared at Luo Wanwan for two seconds before suddenly realizing something, leaned into Cai Xiaotang's ear, and asked: "Xiao Tang, is that the friend of Li Xiao's you told me about last time?"

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for an instant, and she nodded silently.

"Why did she come along too?"

Jiang Baobao frowned, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Cai Xiaotang sighed in her heart, then added: "Because it wouldn't be appropriate to leave her home alone, and besides, Li Xiao's subordinates are all quite familiar with her and hoped she would come along. Anyway, we won't be hanging out together, so it doesn't matter."

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore and waved her hand dismissively.

Jiang Baobao didn't say anything more, though she couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Luo Wanwan.

Then the group went straight to the hotel.

As soon as Cai Xiaotang stepped into her "workplace" for the coming period, she couldn't help but nod repeatedly in satisfaction.

The strength of Li Corporation was, of course, beyond question.

When she first accepted the job, she knew there wouldn't be any major difficulties.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

With the magnificent Main Hall and the service staff who were clearly professional, the so-called "star-rating inspection" was merely a simple formality.

"Baobao, this place looks too awesome, doesn't it? I'd be willing to stay here for a month!"

Cai Xiaotang said to Jiang Baobao in a low voice.

But she didn't expect that just after she finished speaking, someone nearby would take the initiative to chime in: "If you like it, it wouldn't be impossible to stay here for a month."

Li Xiao wore an expression that said "it's our own hotel anyway," and after finishing, he added: "Besides, I can stay here with you."

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and immediately, she felt from her peripheral vision that the expression on Jiang Baobao's face had become visibly gossipy.

Her earlobes burned, and she immediately refused: "Don't you come and disturb my work!"

Jiang Baobao was enjoying the show and immediately played along with Li Xiao: "How can this be considered disturbing you? Isn't it helping you share your work pressure?"

"Jiang Baobao!"

Cai Xiaotang hadn't expected that even she wouldn't stand on her side, so she immediately pouted, pretending to be angry.

Jiang Baobao finally couldn't help but burst into a giggle, but she suddenly felt two gazes as if they were looking at her.

She paused slightly and looked up subconsciously.

And then she happened to meet the gaze Luo Wanwan was casting over.

Jiang Baobao was startled for a moment, subconsciously squeezed out a smile at the other party, and then looked away directly.

As the few of them talked, they finished the check-in procedures.

Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao checked into two Presidential Suites on the top floor respectively.

Luo Wanwan and the others were staying in Deluxe Suites on the floor below.

After tossing her luggage into the room, Cai Xiaotang couldn't wait to go skiing.

"In such a rush?"

Seeing her hurried appearance, Li Xiao couldn't help but tease her with a laugh.

"Of course I'm in a rush! You play early, you enjoy early—do you understand?"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she suddenly thought of something and said somewhat smugly: "By the way, didn't you not believe I could ski before? In a moment, I'll put on a good performance for you; I guarantee I'll surprise you!"

"Alright, I've been looking forward to it."

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and agreed, also feeling infected by her mood and finding himself more relaxed.

Soon, the two of them went out together.

Jiang Baobao was pregnant and couldn't do sports like skiing, but she still wanted to take advantage of the small crowd to walk around the ski resort, just to take in the scenery.

Li Beijue naturally followed along.

The four of them went downstairs together and happened to run into Luo Wanwan in the Main Hall.

"Xiao Tang? Are you guys going skiing?"

Seeing Cai Xiaotang, Luo Wanwan immediately asked with a smile.

"Yeah."

Cai Xiaotang nodded, and seeing her standing alone in the Main Hall, she hesitated for two seconds before asking: "Why are you here by yourself?

Is there some issue you need to find the front desk for?"

"No."

Luo Wanwan shook her head: "I used to love skiing too, but this time... it's definitely not possible, so I want to go and see the scenery."

Not expecting her purpose to be the same as Jiang Baobao's, Cai Xiaotang nodded.

Immediately after, she heard Luo Wanwan ask again: "So... can I go with you? You guys just go ahead and play, I won't cause you any trouble..."

Since she had already said that, Cai Xiaotang naturally found it hard to refuse and could only agree: "Sure, then let's go together."

"Mm, thank you!"

Luo Wanwan smiled immediately, thanked Cai Xiaotang gently, and walked over.

Yet, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a bit awkward inside.

Didn't Li Xiao say before that she would be with Laoqi and the others?

And yet, here she is now...

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang suddenly frowned tightly.

Tsk.

Since when did she become so petty?

It seems that as long as it involves Luo Wanwan, no matter how small the matter is, she has to ponder it for a long time in her heart.

Cai Xiaotang felt a bit stifled in her chest, and just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt her hand being grabbed, and then their fingers interlaced.

She was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, she raised her eyes and bumped into Li Xiao's smiling gaze.

Her fingertips were also squeezed gently, as if he were comforting her not to overthink things.

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

Li Xiao also took the initiative to find a topic and asked: "Do you want to have a race in a while?"

"Race what? Skiing?"

As soon as Cai Xiaotang heard this, she instantly became interested.

But just as she finished speaking, the next second—"Brother Li Xiao!!!"

A crisp female voice suddenly came from behind them!

Almost everyone's footsteps paused at the same time.

Cai Xiaotang also widened her eyes in surprise.

Then, before she could even turn around to look, a petite figure had already pounced over and directly hooked onto Li Xiao's arm!!!
