Chapter 844: Thinking of Scheming Against Me? Not a Chance!

The two of them continued their chase.

Cai Xiaotang remained unhurried and composed throughout, keeping a slight distance ahead of Gong Yuxin.

It was already clear who had the upper hand.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Xiao and Gong Yuze both wore expressions of surprise.

Even Li Beijue was somewhat taken aback.

Only Jiang Baobao remained calm, watching the two sliding down the slope with a smile, as if she had long anticipated this result.

"Baobao, you knew it all along?"

Seeing her look of absolute confidence, Li Beijue suddenly asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly caught the attention of Li Xiao nearby, who also looked over and hurriedly asked, "Is Xiao Tang this good at skiing?"

"Of course."

Jiang Baobao nodded with a calm expression, though she could not hide the slight smugness in her eyes.

She had witnessed Xiao Tang's skiing skills years ago!

Back when they were abroad, she would occasionally participate in various competitions whenever she felt like it!

It was just that there hadn't been an opportunity since returning to the country!

"Just watch, Xiao Tang will definitely not lose."

Jiang Baobao pointed toward the slope again and watched with focus.

Li Xiao and the others then turned their gaze back to the course.

They immediately saw that the two were still in their previous positions, with Cai Xiaotang consistently in the lead.

Li Xiao curled his lips, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

But just then—Gong Yuxin's position suddenly veered off course!

For some reason, she seemed to lose her balance and suddenly leaned and fell toward Cai Xiaotang, looking as if she were about to collide with her!

Li Xiao frowned sharply, his heart instantly leaping into his throat.

On the course—Cai Xiaotang saw Gong Yuxin's movement in her peripheral vision and also frowned sharply.

She adjusted her position, wanting to create distance from the other person to avoid being hit.

But Gong Yuxin suddenly accelerated, getting closer and closer to her!

The ski pole in her hand was suddenly thrust forward, and she lunged toward Cai Xiaotang's position again!

Cai Xiaotang didn't have time to think too much, but she suddenly realized something.

Based on Gong Yuxin's performance along the way, her skills were not bad at all!

So, now that she realized she couldn't win, was she planning to make her fall on purpose?

Was she crazy!

If one didn't control their posture while falling, rolling down the slope could easily cost someone their life!!

Cai Xiaotang pressed her lips together tightly and put some more distance between them.

But Gong Yuxin would not give up and tried to close in to obstruct her again.

Two-thirds of the ski slope had already been covered.

Only the final stretch remained.

Cai Xiaotang was annoyed to death by the other person and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Heh...

She thought this was a fair and square competition, but in the end, wasn't she just going to resort to these little tricks?

Did she think she wouldn't fight back?

Cai Xiaotang stared straight at the final short distance ahead, estimated it in her mind, and increased her speed once more.

The next second—Gong Yuxin's ski pole indeed tried to obstruct her again!

Cai Xiaotang's expression turned stern; she struck her own ski pole against Gong Yuxin's, used the momentum to bypass her, and charged toward the finish line at the bottom of the slope!

Because of this, Gong Yuxin lost her balance, fell forward, crashed to the ground, and began rolling down the slope!!

"Yuxin!!!"

Gong Yuze, who was watching from below, felt his heart jump into his throat!!

Gong Yuxin was experienced after all; she rolled a few times quickly, managed to find a way to stop herself, and sat on the slope in a disheveled state.

Looking ahead—Cai Xiaotang had already successfully reached the finish line.

The outcome was already decided.

"Xiao Tang!"

Jiang Baobao had already walked quickly toward her.

Li Xiao stepped forward directly, pushed up her ski goggles, and gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek!

"What are you doing..."

Cai Xiaotang's face flushed; she hadn't expected him to do such a thing in front of so many people and immediately gave him a punch in annoyance.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue exchanged a look, their eyes filled with the same tacit understanding.

Watching the two being intimate, Luo Wanwan felt like she could grind her teeth to dust.

How could that Gong Yuxin be such a failure!

She had thought she might actually win, but in the end, she let Cai Xiaotang win in such a glorious fashion?

Useless thing!

Luo Wanwan lowered her eyes and glanced at her injured leg, feeling some resentment in her heart.

If her leg hadn't been injured, she would have definitely made Cai Xiaotang roll all the way down from the top of the mountain!

Li Xiao was still intimately pulling Cai Xiaotang along, saying something.

Luo Wanwan watched, feeling displeased, and hurriedly changed the subject: "They are back..."

Everyone turned their heads upon hearing this, only then seeing that Gong Yuze was already supporting Gong Yuxin as they walked back.

She seemed to have sprained her foot, looking somewhat limp.

Her face was also full of unwillingness.

Cai Xiaotang met her gaze, a flash of disdain passing through her eyes.

Immediately, not wanting to say anything more, she turned to leave.

Anyway, she had already won, and there was nothing to say to such a person.

But she did not expect that the next second—"Wait a moment!"

Gong Yuxin suddenly spoke up, unreasonably saying: "The match just now doesn't count!"

Not expecting that she would actually dare to go back on her word, everyone was suddenly stunned.

Gong Yuze's face darkened instantly, and he reprimanded: "Yuxin! Have you made enough of a scene? The match was proposed by you! Third Madam Li has already humored your nonsense! Do not be so lacking in propriety!"

"Brother..."

Gong Yuxin acted spoiled toward Gong Yuze, unwilling to give up.

Li Xiao also said directly, displeased: "Miss Gong, Xiao Tang agreed to your match just now and won it. It is not very appropriate for you to go back on your word now, is it?"

Gong Yuxin was taken aback upon hearing this, a look of grievance appearing on her face.

Miss Gong?

Brother Li Xiao used to call her "Yuxin"!

Is it because of that woman?

His way of addressing her has also become so distant...

Gong Yuxin became even more displeased. Thinking that she not only failed to win just now but also embarrassingly fell, she gritted her teeth and continued: "But the match just now had an accident! It wasn't fair!"

As she spoke, she looked directly at Cai Xiaotang and asked loudly: "Do you dare to compete with me one more time!"

Cai Xiaotang had not spoken from beginning to end; hearing this, she finally could no longer suppress her temper and sneered.

"I don't mind, but can you still compete?"

Cai Xiaotang looked pointedly at her foot.

Gong Yuxin suddenly pressed her lips together, a flash of gloom passing through her eyes: "We can compete in something else."

She turned her head to look at the indoor activity area not far away where the two had just been, the corners of her lips curling up.

"How about archery? I guess that since Third Madam Li is so good at skiing, she must also be good at archery, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xiao's expression changed instantly, and just as he was about to speak—Cai Xiaotang spoke first again: "Sure."

Li Xiao was stunned, looking at the person beside him in disbelief.

How many more things did she know that he didn't know about?

Li Xiao was still surprised when he heard Cai Xiaotang continue: "However... it can't be that everything is decided by you, right?"
