Chapter 896: He Wants to Give You a Surprise

The room suddenly went quiet for a few seconds.

Li Xiao did not answer immediately, only thinking about how he should speak to make Luo Wanwan voluntarily retreat in the face of difficulties.

Rationally speaking.

She was the most suspicious target.

But speaking of the friendship from knowing each other for so many years, he was unwilling to believe that she was the person who had betrayed him.

Just like the one back then...

The shadow of a certain traitor flashed fiercely through his mind, and Li Xiao's gaze darkened.

Yet he heard Luo Wanwan say again: "Li Xiao, although this matter was a misunderstanding, I can understand why she would be angry. I cannot escape responsibility for this, and if possible, you should still try to persuade Xiao Tang more... After she returns, I can apologize to her again..."

As Luo Wanwan spoke, she deliberately kept her posture extremely low.

Li Xiao, however, did not speak at all throughout.

He was crystal clear in his heart that every word the person before him said did not come from the heart.

If it were someone else, they might even think she was very sensible, while Cai Xiaotang was being unreasonable.

But the whole matter was that he had not handled it well.

Although he would feel angry because of Xiao Tang's lack of trust in him, he had never thought of blaming her.

It was just that Luo Wanwan...

Li Xiao thought, and suddenly spoke up.

"I will handle Xiao Tang's matter, you don't need to worry. In a few days, I plan to take her to live at the Old Residence for a while. You can continue to stay here to recover from your injuries. After you are healed, if there is anything else you want to do, or if you need help, you can also speak directly to Lao Wu, Laoqi, and the others..."

"Why are you suddenly going back to the Old Residence?"

Luo Wanwan was shocked in her heart, but she put on a guilty look on her face and said in an apologetic tone.

"Is it because my staying here is disturbing you? Then...

Then I should move out. Actually, I should have left long ago. Last time I wanted to move out, Xiao Tang still asked me to stay. If I had been more firm at that time, it would have been better..."

She had the tone of someone who had committed some kind of mistake.

Yet every word was reminding Li Xiao that it was Cai Xiaotang who had kept her.

"It is not what you think."

Li Xiao interrupted her words, pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

"Actually... this matter is the Old Master's idea."

He deliberately slowed his voice, his eyes sweeping across Luo Wanwan's face, not wanting to miss any of her subtle facial changes.

"It has nothing to do with you. The Old Master has always hoped that we would go back, and the environment there is also better than here."

When Li Xiao spoke of this matter, his tone suddenly became very gentle.

Luo Wanwan, however, suddenly clenched her palms tightly, and a flash of unwillingness quickly crossed her eyes.

Go back?

She had gone to such great lengths, and it was only with great difficulty that she had managed to sow discord between the two of them!

If Li Xiao took Cai Xiaotang away at a time like this, wouldn't that make all her previous efforts go to waste!

Alarm bells rang in Luo Wanwan's heart, but she still squeezed out a smile on her face and replied: "That is also good. As long as the two of you can make up, I will be relieved..."

She said, and hurriedly turned around: "Since that is the case, then I won't disturb you anymore..."

Luo Wanwan did not say anything more and turned to leave the study.

Li Xiao listened to her walking away, and the previously tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed.

The unnatural look on Luo Wanwan's face just now had not escaped his eyes.

He could be certain of what Luo Wanwan was thinking.

No matter what she was hiding, he had to find out as soon as possible...

He must seize the time to give Xiao Tang an explanation.

Once the matter was resolved, as long as they didn't divorce, she could vent her anger on him however she wanted.

On the other side—Cai Xiaotang had already found the hospital room with ease.

As soon as she entered, she saw that Jiang Baobao's complexion was already much better than yesterday, and she was leaning against the bedside drinking porridge.

"Baobao? Why are you here alone? Where is Li Beijue?"

Seeing that she was the only one in the room, Cai Xiaotang asked hurriedly.

"He had something to do and just left."

Jiang Baobao answered, then immediately noticed that Cai Xiaotang's complexion was a bit pale, and said worriedly: "Xiao Tang, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Why is your complexion so poor?"

"I'm fine."

Cai Xiaotang did not expect to be seen through at a glance, so she hurriedly added: "Maybe I caught a cold, so I'm a bit listless."

"Alright then..."

Jiang Baobao did not say more, but couldn't help asking curiously: "But didn't you already come yesterday? Why have you come to see me these past two days? Are you really willing to leave Li Xiao?"

Hearing the name Li Xiao, Cai Xiaotang's expression stiffened slightly.

Jiang Baobao thought she was still angry because of the previous matter, and immediately said earnestly.

"Xiao Tang, this time Li Xiao... could be considered to have walked through the gates of hell. You wouldn't still be angry, would you? Since he is still alive and well, and you still like him, why don't you have a good talk?"

"There is nothing left to say."

Cai Xiaotang sat by the bed listlessly, her expression somewhat dejected.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao could only continue patiently.

"But... but the two of you have just experienced all this, is there really anything more important than life and death? I'm not trying to take his side, I just don't want you to be sad. If he had really had an accident this time, you would definitely regret it..."

"But didn't he not have an accident?"

Cai Xiaotang suddenly retorted, her emotions fluctuating slightly.

Not only was he perfectly fine, but he had spent the entire night in a cave getting intimate with another woman, without even wearing any clothes!

Cai Xiaotang thought of the scene she had seen when she rushed into the cave and slammed her eyes shut.

Forget it...

Baobao would know about this sooner or later...

Telling her now wouldn't make much of a difference.

In any case, she had already made up her mind.

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that familiar stinging sensation in her nose again.

She hurriedly adjusted her emotions before saying, "Baobao, actually... I have already asked Li Xiao for a divorce."

"What?"

Jiang Baobao sat up from the bed almost instantly, looking at Cai Xiaotang with an expression of disbelief.

"Xiao Tang, divorce isn't something you just say casually. Have you really made up your mind? The reason I asked you to go to the ski resort that night was because he had prepared a surprise for you and wanted to apologize!"

Jiang Baobao did not know what exactly had happened between the two of them, so she simply told her everything about that night.

"A surprise..."

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly at Jiang Baobao, unable to process the information for a moment.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly explained.

"Yes, we were all up on the mountain preparing, just waiting for you to arrive, but no one expected that such a thing would happen afterward. So, why did you suddenly make this decision? Did something else happen yesterday?"

"

Jiang Baobao was full of confusion, knowing that Cai Xiaotang would not make such a decision lightly.

Just as her voice fell—her peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure flashing past the small window of the hospital room!
