Chapter 861: I Don't Want to See You Tonight

Cai Xiaotang's expression stiffened slightly; she had not expected Li Xiao to find her so quickly.

She did not speak, merely standing blankly where she was, not knowing what to do for a moment.

But there was one thought she was incredibly certain of in her heart.

That was—

She did not want to see the person outside right now! At least not tonight!

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and still couldn't help but answer loudly and crossly: "You go away! I don't want to talk to you right now!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Li Xiao say helplessly from outside the door: "I know you are angry, but you have to give me a chance to explain, right? Open the door first and listen to my explanation, okay?"

"No!!!"

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to say a single word to him; her eyes were filled with anger.

Was she too easygoing?

Is that why every time Li Xiao did something that displeased her, he thought that as long as he explained it clearly, it could be treated as if it never happened?

But why couldn't such things be avoided from the very beginning?

Cai Xiaotang kept panting heavily, feeling as if someone had poured a bucket of oil over her heart and set it ablaze, leaving it sizzling.

"Xiao Tang, nothing really happened between Luo Wanwan and me; I just went to deliver medicine to her..."

Li Xiao was still explaining outside.

Cai Xiaotang's throat was tired from shouting, so she simply walked to the door and spoke to the person outside through it.

"I already said, this isn't something only you can do. And, if it was just delivering medicine, why was your shirt wet? Looking at the position, could it be that besides delivering medicine, you also let someone lean into your arms to drink it, and ended up spilling it by accident?"

Li Xiao outside the door was stunned upon hearing this, subconsciously lowering his eyes to look at his chest, only then realizing how misleading that stain was.

But Cai Xiaotang was still in the heat of her anger; if he said the medicine had indeed spilled but not in the way she thought, she definitely wouldn't listen and would instead think he was making excuses to quibble...

Li Xiao struggled with how to speak.

Cai Xiaotang, however, took his silence as a guilty conscience.

Hearing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, she completely lost her last bit of patience.

"You go back, or stand outside all night, it's up to you. Either way, I won't open the door. If you dare go to the front desk to get a key card, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

Cai Xiaotang issued an ultimatum, blocking all of Li Xiao's paths of retreat, then turned and left the door to return to the bedroom.

And then...

She still couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen for movement outside the door.

It had become completely quiet outside; she didn't know if Li Xiao was still standing there or if he had already left.

Cai Xiaotang listened for a long while, confirming that the other party likely hadn't gone to get a key card to force the door open, and breathed a small sigh of relief, though the gloom in her heart hadn't diminished by even half.

She tossed and turned on the bed, finally unable to resist picking up her phone, wanting to give Jiang Baobao a call.

Then she saw the time and hesitated, ultimately throwing the phone to the side.

Forget it...

It's this late, better not disturb Baobao's rest, especially since she is a pregnant woman...

Cai Xiaotang sighed, rubbed her somewhat sore eyes, and gently stroked her chest, which was aching with stuffiness.

Why...

Li Xiao clearly acted like he cared about her sometimes; why was it that on this specific matter, he couldn't realize how much his contact with Luo Wanwan would make her mind and suffer?

Was she really too narrow-minded?

But...

Even if Luo Wanwan had a very high fever, to the point of needing to go to the Hospital, did it really have to be Li Xiao running around for her personally?

She really didn't want to see this kind of thing happen again.

Even this time, she didn't know what to do.

Pretend nothing happened?

She couldn't do it.

Forgive Li Xiao just like that?

Then what about next time?

What to do if this kind of thing happens again next time?

Cai Xiaotang closed her eyes in frustration and simply covered her head with the quilt, letting everything before her fall into total darkness.

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to brighten when she woke up from the bed.

The soreness all over her body reminded her that she didn't know when she had fallen asleep on the bed last night.

Cai Xiaotang rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, picking up her phone to glance at it, only to find it was just eight in the morning.

"Hiss... it hurts..."

Cai Xiaotang stretched her sore shoulders, and the memories of last night gradually returned.

She looked at her phone again.

Confirming there were no messages sent by Li Xiao and no calls from him, she got out of bed to wash up with a calm expression.

Looking at herself in the mirror with a complexion that was terrible to the extreme, Cai Xiaotang pulled at the corners of her mouth with great difficulty.

Her heart still felt stuffy.

But her emotions seemed to be much more stable than yesterday.

So...

What should she do today?

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly into the mirror, her brain still a bit blank from just waking up, and she even had the thought of hiding in this room all day and not going anywhere.

But immediately after, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Thinking it was Li Xiao looking for her again, Cai Xiaotang instantly widened her eyes and pricked up her ears, listening to the movement outside the door.

However, she vaguely heard the voice of a strange woman.

"Miss Cai, are you awake?"

The other person's voice sounded a bit tentative.

Hearing this, Cai Xiaotang was a little puzzled; she then walked out of the bathroom and asked in return, "Who is it? Is there something you need?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the other person reply respectfully, "Someone has booked room service for you and had us prepare breakfast specifically; please open the door."

"Room service?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, then immediately realized what was going on, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked the person outside the door, "Who ordered the room service?"

Sure enough, she then heard the person outside reply, "The other party said it was your husband."

"Tch..."

Cai Xiaotang scoffed, her mood suddenly becoming complicated.

What was ordering breakfast supposed to mean?

An apology?

Did he really think she was that easy to coax every time?

Cai Xiaotang felt inexplicably annoyed again, and it was even less likely she would open the door, so she said loudly to the outside, "I don't like room service, please go back."

"Very well."

The attendant outside the door was a bit confused, but did not say anything more, and pushed the food cart away.

As Cai Xiaotang listened to her walk away, her stomach suddenly let out a "rumble"!

She looked down at her stomach helplessly, pondered for a long while, and simply decided to go all the way, pulling the door open and walking out!

What was there to hide from!

She wasn't the one who did anything wrong!

At worst, she would just stick with Baobao for the whole day!

Anyway, she didn't really want to pay any attention to that scumbag for now!

While thinking this, Cai Xiaotang got on the elevator and went straight to the floor where she had stayed before.

But she didn't expect that as soon as the elevator door opened—

The person she least wanted to see appeared before her eyes.
