Chapter 860: This Grievance, She Will Not Take

The distance between the floors was not very far.

In less than a minute, Cai Xiaotang walked out of the elevator.

She remembered hearing Laoqi and the others discussing the room arrangements back then.

To make it convenient for Luo Wanwan to move about and to keep her separated from the men, they had let her stay in a room closest to the elevator.

At this moment, Cai Xiaotang looked at the tightly shut door not far away, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

"Hoo... calm down..."

Cai Xiaotang let out a breath and subconsciously lightened her footsteps as she walked toward the door.

But the distance was not far at all; in just a few seconds, she was standing outside the door.

Cai Xiaotang held her breath and slightly raised her hand.

Yet, at the very moment she was about to knock, she hesitated.

If Li Xiao was not inside...

Then what kind of excuse would she have to explain to Luo Wanwan why she had come looking for her?

Cai Xiaotang frowned slightly, unable to make up her mind for a moment.

But just then—

"No need to see me out."

A voice was vaguely heard from inside the room, and it was a man's!

Cai Xiaotang had been distracted, but upon hearing the sound, she reacted immediately, though she was not sure if the person inside was really Li Xiao.

The next second—

*Whoosh! *

The door in front of her was suddenly pulled open from the inside!

A figure she could not be more familiar with appeared before her eyes.

It really was Li Xiao!

Cai Xiaotang's mind went blank for a moment, and she stared at him blankly, unable to process what was happening.

Li Xiao had not expected Cai Xiaotang to be standing at the door either; he was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Xiao Tang, why are you..."

The confusion on his face only made Cai Xiaotang feel even more furious.

Li Xiao wanted to ask why she had come, right?

Heh...

She shouldn't have come.

She shouldn't have come to disturb their tryst!

The bewilderment on Cai Xiaotang's face was gradually replaced by anger.

She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

Then, she saw Luo Wanwan's figure appear behind Li Xiao!

Her face was flushed with an unnatural red, and she was wearing nothing but a thin camisole dress!

Cai Xiaotang was dumbfounded.

Was she dreaming?

Could something like "catching them in bed" actually happen to her in person one day?

No... they weren't in bed.

But...

Cai Xiaotang did not speak, her eyes subconsciously sweeping over Li Xiao.

She then saw that his shirt buttons were undone by two as usual, but for some reason, there was a suspicious wet patch on his chest.

*Buzz! *

Cai Xiaotang felt a thought pop into her mind and immediately took another look at the two people in front of her.

"Xiao Tang..."

Luo Wanwan's cautious voice rang out, as if she wanted to explain.

But Cai Xiaotang did not want to hear a single word more; without another word, she turned and left!!

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Xiao immediately chased after her and grabbed her wrist from behind.

Cai Xiaotang shook him off without a second thought.

Even knowing that Luo Wanwan might still be watching from behind, she could no longer suppress her temper.

"Xiao Tang!!"

Li Xiao chased after her again, blocking her path with a helpless expression.

"It's not what you think, you've misunderstood..."

"Move."

Cai Xiaotang looked at the person in front of her with cold eyes, her tone devoid of any warmth.

Li Xiao was taken aback by her words.

But Cai Xiaotang could not be bothered to look at him again and pushed past him to leave.

Li Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her again: "Xiao Tang, Wanwan has a bit of a fever, I was just here to bring her medicine..."

"Bring her medicine?"

Hearing this explanation, Cai Xiaotang was almost laughed to anger.

She let out a cold snort, curled her lips, and retorted: "In such a big place, are you the only one left? Are there no staff? Is Laoqi and the others not around? Why did it have to be you who brought the medicine? And you just happened to bring it the moment I stepped out of my room—what do you expect me to think?"

"I..."

Li Xiao was rendered speechless by her words.

Thinking that Luo Wanwan could hear the two of them, he found it difficult to explain anything directly.

Cai Xiaotang, however, took his stammering as a sign of a guilty conscience.

Immediately after, she heard—

"Xiao Tang, you really misunderstood, I am indeed running a fever..."

Luo Wanwan's weak voice came from behind them.

Cai Xiaotang pressed her lips together tightly; the thought that her jealous words from just a moment ago had all been heard by Luo Wanwan made her feel even more awkward.

Then, she saw her walk around to stand right in front of her, beside Li Xiao!

For some reason, Cai Xiaotang inexplicably felt as though she had lost.

Whether it was her position in Li Xiao's heart, or her behavior just now.

She just cared about Li Xiao!

Seeing Luo Wanwan standing with him made her feel uncomfortable!

Thinking about how the two of them had once dated, she couldn't help but be insanely jealous!

But she had already been trying to control it.

Why was she being met with Li Xiao challenging her bottom line again and again?

Was it just because of that guilt he felt toward Luo Wanwan?

Then how long did he intend to repay her?

By taking care of all her affairs?

By letting her be stuck between them for the rest of her life?

By eventually looking after her in her old age and seeing her to her grave?

No.

She would not accept it.

This grievance, she, Cai Xiaotang, would not take.

Since that was the case, she might as well take the initiative to leave and let Li Xiao marry Luo Wanwan!

That would also fulfill their wishes!

Cai Xiaotang's mind was in total chaos; not wanting to say another word, she turned and left.

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Xiao still wanted to give chase.

But...

"Xiao Tang, don't go yet..."

Luo Wanwan also seemed to want to chase after her, but before she could finish her sentence, her body suddenly went limp!

"Watch out!"

Seeing Luo Wanwan falling toward the ground, Li Xiao subconsciously reached out to support her.

Cai Xiaotang also couldn't help but glance over because of this sudden accident.

Immediately, she saw the sight of Luo Wanwan weakly collapsing into Li Xiao's arms.

Li Xiao was equally anxious and said sternly, "Wanwan, you still have a fever, go back first."

His original intention was not to let Luo Wanwan get involved in the matters between him and Cai Xiaotang anymore.

But these words, falling into Cai Xiaotang's ears, took on a different meaning.

Ha...

Was Li Xiao now showing concern for Luo Wanwan right in front of her without any hesitation?

Forget it.

Whatever.

Cai Xiaotang sneered in her heart and turned to leave.

She returned to her room as fast as she could, found her ID card, quickly packed her luggage, and left with it.

Then she went directly to the front desk downstairs and booked a new room.

Arriving at her new room, she slammed the door shut and locked it.

Yet, the scene of Luo Wanwan collapsing into Li Xiao's arms still lingered in her mind.

"Scumbag!!!"

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help but shout, wanting to vent the anger in her heart.

Just as the words left her lips—

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Her door was suddenly knocked on urgently.

The man's familiar voice also rang out from outside the door.

"Xiao Tang, it's me, open the door."
