Chapter 928: Divorce Him Once He's Better

Cai Xiaotang did not expect him to suddenly bring this matter up again, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, she felt a sense of relief.

From the conversation just now, she had already gathered some information about Luo Wanwan's identity.

So there was no need to explain anything further.

But regardless of what identity she had or what mission she was carrying, the fact that she liked Li Xiao would never change.

So...

As Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she suddenly felt the hand holding hers pull with a slight force!

"Ah!"

She let out a short exclamation, and before she could react, her whole body was dragged toward the direction of the bed!

It looked like she was about to land on top of Li Xiao!

Fortunately, Cai Xiaotang was quick-witted and reached out to brace herself against the edge of the bed, so she didn't accidentally press on his wounds!

"You!"

She glared angrily at Li Xiao, who still had the mood to smile at her, and couldn't help but say indignantly: "Can you be a little more well-behaved! Don't you know you have injuries on your body!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao was not angry; instead, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"I know."

He only replied with those two words.

Yet he wore his entire mood on his face.

So what if he was injured?

He just wanted to see Cai Xiaotang worried about him, to see her having emotional fluctuations.

Only then did he feel at ease.

When Luo Wanwan was here just now, she seemed to have been lost in thought, and that expression inexplicably made him feel a bit panicked.

Cai Xiaotang was left speechless by his righteous demeanor, so she had to hurry to stand up.

But their hands were still held together.

Then Li Xiao continued with the previous topic and spoke.

"You should have gathered Luo Wanwan's identity from what you heard just now. Like me, she belongs to the same Organization, and she has her own mission. I don't know the specifics of the mission. At first, she didn't even confess her identity to me. During the time she lived at home, it was Laoqi who accidentally monitored mysterious signals coming from her room, which is how I discovered she had lied to me. But because I didn't know who she was contacting, I kept having Laoqi monitor her in secret. That day at the Mu Family..."

Li Xiao's memory suddenly returned to the day he parted ways with Cai Xiaotang at the Mu Family, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He paused for a long while before continuing to speak.

"That day, I originally wanted to go find you later to show you the content of the signals Laoqi had monitored. Although you might not understand them, I knew that what you said at the time was just out of anger. As long as you saw them, you would believe what I said was true, but..."

But no one expected.

From that day on, he had nearly lost her forever.

Fortunately.

Now she had been found and brought back safely.

Li Xiao looked at the person in front of him; if his injuries hadn't prevented it, he would have already been unable to resist pulling her into his arms.

Cai Xiaotang listened quietly as he finished speaking, and meeting his cautious gaze, her heart tightened slightly.

Li Xiao was still coaxing her...

Even though he was so severely injured, he still wanted to explain this matter clearly to her.

But...

She was no longer angry.

Nothing was more important than life and death.

Now, the only thing she hoped for was for him to recover from his injuries quickly.

And never encounter such things again.

And never again disregard himself for her sake.

"Xiao Tang?"

Seeing her silent and seemingly lost in thought again, Li Xiao gently pinched her fingertips.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, hurriedly adjusted her expression, and said with feigned ease: "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd explained it clearly sooner? I almost lost my life; do you think I'd still be dwelling on such a small matter?"

Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm, sounding no different from before.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's heart instantly settled back into place, and he breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

She didn't seem angry anymore...

That was good...

Thinking of the angry words someone had said in a fit of rage before, Li Xiao still cautiously confirmed: "Then... you're not divorcing me?"

Cai Xiaotang's pupils shrank slightly at these words.

Divorce...

Of course, it had to happen.

But for now...

It was more important to let him recover in peace.

After his injuries healed...

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her heart felt as if it had been pricked by something tiny.

She hurriedly stopped thinking about it and deliberately glared at Li Xiao with feigned annoyance.

"Stop trying to make a point out of this! Just focus on healing your injuries first! Otherwise, everything else is off the table!"

As she spoke, she poked Li Xiao's uninjured shoulder.

Her gaze, however, could not help but sweep toward the other side.

Thick gauze was still wrapped around that area.

Beneath it lay the wound she had left with her own hands.

Immediately after, she heard Li Xiao agree repeatedly: "Alright, alright, alright, I know, I promise to recover well! I just wonder, during this time, could I trouble Mrs. Li to stay here and look after me personally? Otherwise, how boring it would be for me to be here all alone?"

"You...!"

Cai Xiaotang knew he would never let this opportunity pass, and she could not help but glare at him speechlessly.

Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately pretended to be even more pitiful: "If you don't stay, my mood might become poor, and if my mood is poor, the wound's recovery will slow down..."

"Fine, I didn't say I wouldn't agree! Stop talking nonsense!"

Cai Xiaotang had never intended to refuse him in the first place, so she agreed immediately upon hearing this.

Only then did Li Xiao smile with satisfaction.

Cai Xiaotang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately...

He hadn't noticed anything.

Had she gotten better at it through practice?

After all, she hadn't done little acting in front of that fox-like man during those few days...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

She hurriedly said toward the door.

Immediately after, she saw Lao San push the door open and walk in, holding a bag in his hand.

"Madam, this is for you."

Cai Xiaotang responded, took it casually, and saw a set of new clothes inside the bag.

"Brother is truly thoughtful..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered in a low voice.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Li Xiao grumble in a low voice: "What's so thoughtful about that? If I hadn't been in surgery just now, I would have had someone prepare it for you long ago..."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in his tone, Cai Xiaotang suddenly found it somewhat amusing and deliberately retorted: "What's with that tone? Do you have an issue with my brother?"

"I certainly wouldn't dare."

Li Xiao dared not say he truly did, so he hurriedly denied it.

Only then was Cai Xiaotang satisfied; she turned and went to the bathroom, finally changing out of the dirty clothes she had been wearing.

The private hospital room here was extremely luxurious, and after carefully taking a bath, a full half-hour had passed before she walked out from inside.

Then, just as she opened the door, she saw Lao Wu seemingly just closing the door and leaving.

Li Xiao, on the hospital bed, also had a bag in his hand.

Seeing Cai Xiaotang come out, he hurriedly shook the item in his hand and blinked his eyes somewhat mysteriously.

"Finished cleaning up? Come, perfect, I have something to give you."

"What is it?"

Cai Xiaotang walked over, somewhat puzzled, her curiosity successfully piqued.
