Chapter 852: She Is the One Most Suited for Li Xiao

~8 min read 1,446 words

"Whoosh!"

The sled flew rapidly down the hillside.

"Wow!!!"

At first, Cai Xiaotang was a bit cautious, but after adapting to the speed, she raised both hands high, feeling the cool breeze pass through her fingertips.

Immediately after, another pair of hands suddenly gripped hers from behind, interlocking fingers with her.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then a sweet smile could not help but appear on her face.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Xiao.

But she had only glanced for a second when someone pinched her chin and turned her head back.

"Don't move around, it will affect the balance!"

Li Xiao reminded her with amusement.

Yet, a look of mischief suddenly flashed in the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes.

Seeing that they were about to reach the bottom of the hill, she suddenly leaned her body to the side!

"Hey..."

Li Xiao sensed the sled beneath him suddenly lose its balance and immediately tried to regain control.

But it was already too late.

The moment it touched the flat ground, the sled tipped over to one side.

With an almost subconscious reaction, he hugged Cai Xiaotang and rolled to the side, the two of them tumbling onto the snow together.

It wasn't very dangerous, nor was it very painful.

It just looked a bit disheveled.

"Hahaha... hahahaha..."

Cai Xiaotang laughed until she was swaying back and forth; she didn't even know why she was so happy, she just felt inexplicably exhilarated.

Li Xiao looked helplessly at the person in his arms; he had originally wanted to properly "educate" her, but seeing her having so much fun, he had no choice but to swallow the words that had reached his lips.

Then, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips.

"What are you doing!"

Cai Xiaotang instantly reined in her laughter and stared at him with wide eyes.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked back righteously: "Not doing anything, I want to kiss you, is that not allowed?"

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang was left speechless by his words, so she had to blink her eyes. Not knowing where she got the courage, and knowing full well that others were watching nearby, she suddenly tilted her head up and, imitating his actions from just a moment ago, directly blocked Li Xiao's mouth!

"Hmm?"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted and wanted to deepen the kiss, Cai Xiaotang had already stood up with a face flushed red.

"Cough! Let's slide again! It's actually quite fun!"

As she spoke, she picked up the sled and turned to walk back up the hill.

Watching her back as she "fled in a panic," Li Xiao couldn't help but have his eyes filled with smiles. He got up, chased after her, and grabbed her hand again.

The two of them were frolicking, and even their retreating figures carried sweetness.

And all of this was taken in by Luo Wanwan, who had been sitting in the distance watching them the whole time.

She tried her best to maintain her expression, but she was no longer in the mood to cozy up to Jiang Baobao; her heart was almost filled with jealousy.

It seemed that the more she wanted to prove that there was a place for her in Li Xiao's heart, the more she would discover just how much he liked that woman, Cai Xiaotang!

What exactly was so good about her?

She was nothing more than a piece of trash who needed Li Xiao's protection!

Perhaps she would even become a burden to him in the future!

In this world, was there any woman more suitable for him than herself?

They could fight side by side.

She could rely on him, and she could also protect him!

She would always put his safety first!

When necessary, she could even sacrifice her own life for him!

Could Cai Xiaotang do that?

Luo Wanwan's face was calm, but there was a voice inside her heart roaring incessantly.

Her fingernails had long since dug deep marks into her fingertips.

Just at this moment—

"Wanwan?"

Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly rang out, abruptly pulling her back to her senses.

"Hmm?"

Luo Wanwan immediately regained her focus and looked at Jiang Baobao with a smile.

Jiang Baobao, however, seemed to have something she wanted to say but hesitated.

She had noticed just now that Luo Wanwan had been staring at Li Xiao and Xiao Tang the whole time.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to be looking at Xiao Tang; the only person who could make her look so intently was Li Xiao.

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly. She didn't point it out, but after thinking for a moment, she said: "Are your wounds serious? The wind is strong here, and it's not convenient for you to soak in the hot springs to dispel the cold. If you stay too long, be careful of getting sick."

"It's alright."

Luo Wanwan smiled and shook her head. Her gaze fell once again in the direction of Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao, but she suddenly thought of the fact that Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao were going to soak in the hot springs that night, and her eyes darkened abruptly.

Heh...

It seems that a certain piece of trash specifically arranged here can finally be of some use.

……

The group spent the entire day playing outside, and it wasn't until evening that they planned to have a simple meal and return to the hotel to rest.

Cai Xiaotang had finally had her fill of fun; the moment she saw Jiang Baobao, she spoke excitedly: "Baobao! You have no idea how thrilling the sledding was. Once you've given birth, you must come back and experience it properly! You can even bring those three little ones along!"

"Sure, I thought it looked very thrilling when I watched you all playing just now!"

Jiang Baobao was also feeling a bit eager to try, but for the sake of the little one in her belly, she had no choice but to sit everything out this time.

The two of them chatted as they walked in the direction of the restaurant.

As Cai Xiaotang was talking, she suddenly noticed that Luo Wanwan had been unusually quiet the entire way.

She paused slightly, thinking about how Jiang Baobao had been with Luo Wanwan the whole time, and couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

She wondered what Luo Wanwan and Baobao had talked about while they were together...

It couldn't be that they hadn't said a single word, could it?

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard Luo Wanwan suddenly speak up: "I think I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I won't join everyone for dinner. I'm going to head back to my room to rest first."

She gave the group an apologetic smile.

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang were both taken aback upon hearing this.

Out of politeness, Cai Xiaotang asked: "Where do you feel unwell? Do you need to find a Doctor to take a look?"

"No need."

Luo Wanwan shook her head: "It's probably just from being outside all day; I'm a bit tired and don't have much of an appetite. Don't worry about me, you all go ahead and eat."

She gave Cai Xiaotang another seemingly weak smile and turned to leave immediately.

Watching her walk away, Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to say nothing more, and instead felt a sense of relief.

It was better that Luo Wanwan went back to her room first...

Otherwise, it would be too awkward for everyone to sit at the same table for a meal, and it would definitely affect her chatting with Baobao...

Besides, Li Xiao hadn't said anything just now either...

"Let's go."

Cai Xiaotang snuck a glance at Li Xiao before taking Jiang Baobao's arm again and continuing toward the restaurant.

Since this was Li Family territory, even the restaurant was built quite luxuriously, spanning three full floors.

The first floor was a buffet with all kinds of food, and the dishes were changed every morning, noon, and night.

The second floor was a restaurant where one could order à la carte.

The third floor was designed as a large banquet hall.

The group wanted to be casual, so they stayed on the first floor.

Cai Xiaotang's stomach was growling with hunger; once they found a spot, she immediately pulled Jiang Baobao along to go find some good food.

They were laughing and talking as they picked up their trays, but just as they turned around—

A figure suddenly blocked their path.
