Chapter 862: Send Her Away Directly

Their eyes met, and both of them were slightly startled.

Cai Xiaotang had not expected to run into Li Xiao right at the elevator entrance, and her already unsettled mood instantly became even more complicated.

Li Xiao, however, regained his composure and said in a low voice, "Xiao Tang..."

As soon as Cai Xiaotang heard his voice, she turned and walked away as if by reflex!

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Xiao immediately followed after her.

Cai Xiaotang did not stop her feet, walking straight toward the direction of Jiang Baobao's room.

Then, someone grabbed her by the wrist!

She stopped abruptly, finally turned her head to look at the person behind her with some helplessness, and then spoke directly.

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now, and I don't want Baobao to know that you and I had an argument. You had better let me go; I'm going to find her to eat breakfast now."

Cai Xiaotang spoke at a rapid pace, giving Li Xiao almost no chance to say anything extra.

She had always been like this.

The angrier she was, the clearer her mind became.

Hearing her say this, Li Xiao indeed let go of her hand helplessly.

Cai Xiaotang turned around immediately.

Then she stood outside Jiang Baobao's room and knocked on the door lightly.

The next second—

"Coming."

Jiang Baobao seemed to be in the living room; she responded quickly and then pulled the door open.

She then saw both Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao standing outside the door, and she couldn't help but look a bit surprised.

"Xiao Tang... why did you two come so early?"

She asked, puzzled.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and for a while, she didn't know how to explain.

Tsk...

Can't this guy Li Xiao be a bit more tactful!

She had already said she didn't want to deal with him, so why did he have to keep following her!

Cai Xiaotang could only complain silently in her heart, then seeing Jiang Baobao still staring at her, she could only pretend as if nothing had happened and answered casually, "It's nothing, I came to find you for breakfast."

"Alright."

Jiang Baobao agreed subconsciously, though her eyes shifted hesitantly between Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang.

Her intuition told her that something must be going on with these two!

She would just have to find an opportunity to ask later!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly tidied up a bit, then took Cai Xiaotang and Li Beijue with her to the restaurant.

Cai Xiaotang had originally only wanted to ask her out alone to chat, but who would have thought it would inexplicably turn into a "party of four," so she had to swallow everything she wanted to say back into her stomach.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, she deliberately sat in the innermost seat at the dining table and pulled Jiang Baobao to sit next to her to avoid Li Xiao crowding over.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tug on Cai Xiaotang's sleeve under the table.

What on earth was wrong with them?

Weren't they fine just yesterday...

Could it be that they had an argument after returning to their rooms last night?

Cai Xiaotang received the "signal," exchanged a helpless look with Jiang Baobao, and her mood instantly turned even worse.

What was this?

A cold war?

Although she didn't like this, until she figured out how to handle this matter, she really didn't want to hear Li Xiao explain anything else.

She was afraid she would be swayed by his words.

And then fall in the same place twice.

Cai Xiaotang's mind was in a mess, and she had no appetite at all; she didn't say a word during the entire breakfast, just eating her food in silence.

Until a pair of chopsticks placed the dim sum she usually liked in front of her.

Cai Xiaotang paused in her movements, looked up subconsciously, and happened to meet Li Xiao's gaze.

His eyes carried a hint of "begging for mercy," and seeing Cai Xiaotang staring at him, they instantly added a bit more ingratiation.

It was as if he were saying, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, and her heart softened unexpectedly.

Then she wanted nothing more than to punch herself!

She really had no backbone!

To think she would soften up just from one look from him?

No!

This matter wouldn't be over that easily!

It's just that...

She didn't even know how she wanted to resolve this herself.

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang deliberately shifted her gaze away and didn't even touch the food Li Xiao had placed for her.

Jiang Baobao watched as neither of them spoke, sighed helplessly in her heart, and gave Li Beijue a look.

It was obvious that Xiao Tang had something she wanted to say!

But Li Xiao is here...

While thinking this, Jiang Baobao frantically blinked her eyes at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue immediately received the "signal."

Although he had long since noticed that Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang seemed to be at odds, he did not want to get involved.

But...

Since his wife had spoken, he had no choice but to comply.

"Ahem..."

Li Beijue suddenly gave a light cough.

Then he put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked Li Xiao, who was to the side: "Uncle, I have some company matters I'd like to discuss with you. If you're finished eating, shall we go back and talk?"

Li Xiao paused slightly and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Cai Xiaotang.

Upon discovering that she was not looking at him, he nodded and agreed: "Alright."

The two men stood up and left.

The dining table was suddenly left with only Cai Xiaotang and Jiang Baobao.

Watching the two of them walk away, Jiang Baobao asked: "Xiao Tang, tell me, what exactly is going on between you two?"

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and she did not speak.

She had long since lost her appetite, so she simply put down her chopsticks as well and let out a long sigh.

"What exactly happened?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Baobao knew she must have encountered something particularly troubling, and she immediately felt uneasy.

Cai Xiaotang had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's nothing, it's just that after I went back last night, I found that Li Xiao wasn't in the room; he had gone to Luo Wanwan's side..."

She recounted what happened last night concisely, and as she spoke, her expression could not help but worsen.

"Anyway, that's how it is. I don't know why I got so angry. Actually... if Luo Wanwan is really sick, it's nothing for Li Xiao to go deliver medicine to her, but I..."

"What do you mean it's nothing?"

Jiang Baobao suddenly interrupted Cai Xiaotang somewhat sternly, her expression also becoming serious.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Baobao continue: "In this situation, I would be angry too if it were me. When we came, there were so many people; it's not like Li Xiao was the only one who could deliver medicine to her. Besides, if she hadn't taken the initiative to find Li Xiao, how could Li Xiao have known she was sick?"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this, and she suddenly realized something.

That's right...

She hadn't even asked yesterday why Li Xiao knew Luo Wanwan was sick.

Either...

He had been concerned about Luo Wanwan all along.

Or Luo Wanwan had taken the initiative to contact him when she got sick!

No matter which reason it was, she could not accept it!

Seeing Cai Xiaotang's reaction, Jiang Baobao knew she hadn't thought that far, and she felt somewhat helpless.

"Xiao Tang, I think you should have a good talk with Li Xiao."

She spoke with earnest advice.

"Talk about what?"

Cai Xiaotang asked back subconsciously.

As soon as the words left her lips, Jiang Baobao poked her forehead with a helpless look.

"What else could you talk about? Of course, it's about Luo Wanwan! Tell him you don't like them getting too close! It would be best to have him send Luo Wanwan away directly!"
