Chapter 847: Just to Show Him

Cai Xiaotang held her breath and focused, taking a deep breath to forcibly pull her attention back.

No...

If things go on like this, I'm really going to lose!

I have to concentrate!

She paused for two seconds, picked up an arrow again, aimed at the bullseye, and this time, without any hesitation, she released her hand and let it fly!

Whoosh—it hit the bullseye dead center!

Finally feeling like she had regained her touch, Cai Xiaotang didn't dare delay and hurriedly fired off the remaining arrows as fast as she could!

Every single one was a ten-ring shot!!

Only when she saw the counter displaying a bright ninety-six rings did Cai Xiaotang let out a sharp sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled back down.

At the same time, Luo Wanwan's side had also finished.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously looked over and discovered that her subsequent scores were just like hers—every arrow was a ten-ring shot, also totaling exactly ninety-six rings!

The two of them had actually tied!

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, her expression suddenly becoming subtle; that strange feeling from just a moment ago had returned.

But before she could think it through, Jiang Baobao had already walked over with a smile and linked her arm with hers.

"Congratulations, Xiao Tang, you won again."

As she spoke, she glanced pointedly in the direction of Gong Yuxin.

Looking at Gong Yuxin, her face was already livid, her fingers gripping the bow so tightly that her knuckles had turned white, and her whole face was written with unwillingness.

Cai Xiaotang, however, was in a great mood; she smiled, set the bow aside, and then said, "Miss Gong, the result is already very clear. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?"

Just as Cai Xiaotang finished speaking, Gong Yuxin immediately said unhappily, "This round counts as a win! But it's best of five! We can still go compete in something else..."

"Yuxin! Haven't you caused enough trouble!"

Gong Yuze hadn't expected his earlier warning to have absolutely no effect, and he couldn't help but scold Gong Yuxin loudly. After finishing, he hurriedly turned to apologize to Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang: "Third Madam Li, I'm sorry. Our family has spoiled Yuxin too much, which is why she has become so willful. We will naturally honor the lost bet and will no longer disturb you."

As he spoke, he tried to pull Gong Yuxin to turn and leave.

But Gong Yuxin was naturally unwilling and immediately struggled, saying, "Brother! I'm not leaving! I finally got to see Brother Li Xiao, and I haven't even had a proper chat with Brother Li Xiao yet. Why should I leave..."

Hearing her say "Brother Li Xiao" this way and that, Cai Xiaotang felt like her head was about to explode, and she felt sour inside. Hearing this, she immediately bumped Li Xiao with her arm in a huff.

Li Xiao had originally been watching the show, but seeing Cai Xiaotang glaring at him with an unhappy face, he found it somewhat amusing and was just about to speak—but to his surprise, in the next second, Gong Yuxin was so angry that she blurted out, "Gong Yuze! Are you still my brother! Why aren't you helping me! Our family and the Li Family have always been family friends! Or is it because that woman is pretty that you're helping her..."

The next second—"Slap!"

Gong Yuxin's sharp voice vanished instantly, and her whole body tilted uncontrollably to the side!

In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were both full of surprise; they hadn't expected her to be so bold, nor had they expected Gong Yuze to actually be willing to hit someone.

The smile on Li Xiao's face vanished instantly, and even Li Beijue, who was standing to the side, frowned sharply, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Even if the two families were old friends, there had to be a limit to Gong Yuxin's nonsense!

Not everything can be said recklessly!

However... Gong Yuze had already disciplined her before they could speak, so now it wasn't appropriate for them to say anything more.

Li Xiao and Li Beijue exchanged a look and swallowed the words that were on the tips of their tongues.

Gong Yuze pressed his lips together tightly and said sternly, "Yuxin, apologize!!"

"Brother! You actually hit me!"

Gong Yuxin finally came to her senses, looking at Gong Yuze with an expression of disbelief while clutching her face. Two lines of tears rolled down from her eyes, making her look pitiful and extremely aggrieved.

Gong Yuze didn't respond to her, but continued coldly, "Apologize to Third Madam Li!"

"What if I don't apologize!"

Gong Yuxin retorted with her neck stiffened, then fiercely wiped away her tears.

"Aren't you just afraid that I'll cause trouble! If you're so afraid of the Li Family settling scores with our family, then call Mom right now and tell her that the Gong Family doesn't have me anymore! Anyway, I just won't apologize!"

Gong Yuxin threw out these extremely arrogant words, and after finishing, she actually abandoned Gong Yuze and ran away crying, clutching her face!

The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.

No one had expected her to just run off like that, and their expressions were all somewhat helpless.

Cai Xiaotang, for her part, didn't even know what to say anymore.

What kind of family could raise such a spoiled and arrogant young lady?

Not only did she not keep her promise, but she also yelled at her own brother; she really was spoiled rotten!

"Third Madam Li, I apologize to you on Yuxin's behalf. We spoiled her too much. I am truly sorry for today's events..."

Gong Yuze apologized to Cai Xiaotang sincerely once again. Cai Xiaotang naturally wouldn't take her anger out on him because of Gong Yuxin, so she just sighed helplessly in her heart, waved her hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine anyway. You should go find her first."

"Apologies, then I will go."

Gong Yuze apologized to the group again before running off in a hurry.

The farce had finally ended, and Cai Xiaotang no longer had the mood to continue playing, so she took the initiative to suggest going back to rest.

Everyone headed back in the direction they had come from together.

On the way—Luo Wanwan suddenly praised Cai Xiaotang: "Xiao Tang, those arrows you shot earlier were really impressive. I didn't expect you to get such a high score."

Cai Xiaotang had originally wanted to stop talking about this, but since Luo Wanwan brought it up herself, she replied, "You were very impressive too, didn't we get the same score?"

She was originally just being polite, but to her surprise, after she finished, Luo Wanwan looked at Li Xiao with a smile and said modestly, "I didn't expect to achieve such a result either. It seems the hard work I put in to surpass Li Xiao's scores in the past wasn't in vain."

Li Xiao hadn't expected to be dragged into this, so he hurriedly replied casually, "You were always very talented."

Listening to the two of them talk, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel sour inside again.

Although Li Xiao had said before that he wasn't dating Luo Wanwan out of love at the time.

However, the days they spent together day and night were not fake.

Luo Wanwan must have been trying so hard to catch up to Li Xiao because she likes him.

No wonder she suddenly suggested participating in the competition together today...

She must have wanted to show it to Li Xiao.
