Chapter 866: Cai Xiaotang is Provoked

As soon as the message was sent, Jiang Baobao replied almost instantly.

【Huh?】

【What do you mean by "not so great"?】

【Did you two have a fight?】

【Where are you right now, in your room?】

【Should I come find you?】

She sent five messages in a row, her tone sounding somewhat anxious.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly replied: 【No need, I'm fine, I just need to calm down by myself.】

But after the message was sent, this time, there was no movement from Jiang Baobao's side.

Cai Xiaotang guessed that she must have already left, and she sighed helplessly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Sure enough, the next second—

Her room door was suddenly knocked on.

Cai Xiaotang froze at the sound, her expression somewhat puzzled.

So fast?

She hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

But she didn't expect that the person standing outside wasn't Jiang Baobao, but a waiter.

"Hello, Miss, did you call for room service?"

The other person asked politely.

Cai Xiaotang shook her head: "It wasn't me, it must be another room, you have the wrong one."

"The wrong one?"

The other person was stunned upon hearing this and hurriedly looked up to confirm the room number again.

Then, a look of sudden realization appeared on their face, and they hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I really did have the wrong one, sorry to bother you..."

"It's okay."

Cai Xiaotang smiled and intended to close the door.

The waiter also intended to turn and leave.

Just at this moment—

From the other side of the hallway, another waiter dressed in the same attire suddenly walked out.

The other person seemed to be very familiar with the one standing at Cai Xiaotang's door; as Cai Xiaotang was closing the door, she saw her walk over.

She said excitedly: "So you're here! I was just about to go find you! Do you know what I just saw!"

Cai Xiaotang's movement of closing the door paused slightly.

People are naturally curious, and she was no exception.

Hearing such a "mysterious" opening, she subconsciously pricked up her ears.

Immediately after, she heard the waiter who had just knocked on the door ask, equally puzzled: "What did you see that has you so excited?"

The next second—

The other person's tone suddenly became even more gossipy.

"Of course it's seeing how good the legendary Third Master Li is to his wife! I always heard that all the big and small matters of the Li Family are handled by President Li, and Third Master Li doesn't care about anything, only knowing how to indulge in pleasure every day. But looking at it now, the rumors aren't necessarily true, are they? He treats his wife so well, how could he possibly go out and look for other women?"

As she spoke, her tone couldn't help but carry a thick sense of envy.

Cai Xiaotang, however, had already frozen in place.

Li Xiao's... wife?

Hadn't she been staying in her room the whole time?

Cai Xiaotang was full of confusion.

Then she heard the other person ask puzzledly: "How did you see it?"

"Of course I saw it when I went up to clean!"

The one who spoke just now sounded even more excited, as if she had discovered some incredible secret, and said excitedly.

"I was originally going upstairs to clean other rooms, but when I passed by one of them, I noticed the door wasn't closed tightly, so I took a couple of extra looks, and then I saw Third Master Li holding his wife, coaxing her to take her medicine, and there were so many people surrounding them! Sigh... as expected of rich people, when will I have so many people waiting on me when I have a fever?"

"You'd better stop dreaming! Hurry up and get to work! Otherwise, if the supervisor catches us gossiping here, we'll have our wages docked again!"

The other person couldn't help but laugh and pulled the person who had just spoken away.

Cai Xiaotang had been standing stiffly behind the door from beginning to end, her fingers resting on the unlatched door handle, her ears buzzing.

The person who was just talking outside...

Mistook Luo Wanwan for Li Xiao's wife?

And...

Saw Li Xiao holding Luo Wanwan, coaxing her to take medicine?

Cai Xiaotang simply doubted if she had misheard something just now.

But her incredibly clear brain kept reminding her that she had heard every word just now with perfect clarity.

Clear enough to be able to recite it.

Li Xiao really went to see Luo Wanwan.

And... was even mistaken for a couple.

"Heh..."

Cai Xiaotang chuckled, and with a "bang," she slammed the door shut, feeling as if a heavy stone had been pressed onto her chest.

Half of her heart was steaming hot with anger, while the other half was bone-chillingly cold.

Memories that had not been recalled for a long time surged in her mind, only this time, the protagonist in the memories had become herself.

So, all men are like this...

They say with their mouths how much they like you and love you, but they are always able to divide their hearts to be used by two people or even more.

That old man is like this.

Li Xiao is also like this.

It was her fault for believing in something like "love."

Even for Baobao, before she truly ended up together with Li Beijue, she did not know how much suffering she had endured.

But who can she blame for all this?

It was she herself who fell for Li Xiao first.

So...

Now that she wants to go back on her word, that should be allowed, right?

Anyway, someone more suitable for him than her has already appeared...

He and Luo Wanwan were a pair to begin with.

Cai Xiaotang's breath hitched, and her eye sockets suddenly felt a bit sore.

Just at this moment—

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Someone knocked on the door again.

"Who is it?"

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, thinking it was Li Xiao who had returned, and a flash of panic quickly crossed her eyes.

But the voice that sounded from outside the door was Jiang Baobao's.

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

Her gentle voice was instantly like a reassurance pill for Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, then opened the door.

But the moment she saw Jiang Baobao, her nose couldn't help but start to feel sore again.

She hurriedly turned around and quickly adjusted her emotions, not wanting to shed tears uselessly in front of Jiang Baobao.

"Xiao Tang, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Baobao naturally noticed her abnormality, hurriedly closed the door, walked in, and went around to stand in front of Cai Xiaotang.

Seeing her with a straight face, she instantly understood what was going on.

"Xiao Tang, Li Xiao... doesn't agree to send Luo Wanwan away?" Jiang Baobao asked tentatively, although she already had the answer in her heart, she still couldn't help but hope it wasn't what she had guessed.

Immediately after, she saw Cai Xiaotang nod lightly, the corners of her lips curling into a mocking arc.

Jiang Baobao paused slightly, feeling surprised in her heart.

She had not expected that Li Xiao would actually refuse!

"Then he..."

Jiang Baobao looked at Cai Xiaotang with heartache, not knowing how to start comforting her for a moment; after a long silence, she had no choice but to pull her to sit down on the sofa first.

After thinking for two seconds, she then asked: "Then what did he say? What is the reason for not being able to send Luo Wanwan away?"

"No reason."

Cai Xiaotang indifferently threw out these four words.

She was sad to the extreme in her heart.
