Chapter 937: Thoroughly Taking Advantage of Him
Cai Xiaotang's head suddenly grew hot, and she instantly became a bit more proactive.
Just consider it...
Leaving a memento.
Some things were originally meant to happen long ago.
It was Li Xiao who had always been looking after her feelings.
Now, she did not want to leave any more regrets behind.
As Cai Xiaotang thought this, the movements of her hands began to grow bolder.
Even though she should have been filled with sweetness at this moment, a trace of bitterness could not help but well up from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiao Tang?"
Li Xiao's whole body stiffened slightly, somewhat surprised by her initiative, then his thoughts shifted abruptly; he suddenly let go of the person in his arms and looked at her in astonishment.
"Hmm?"
Cai Xiaotang responded subconsciously, her whole person still feeling somewhat floaty, and the sadness and reluctance she hadn't hidden well in her eyes flashed by in an instant.
Their eyes met.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Li Xiao did not miss the emotion that flashed through the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes, and a sudden, sharp, slight pain struck his heart.
Why...
Why did he feel like she seemed very sad?
And her being proactive today... was truly somewhat abnormal.
A trace of intense unease flashed inexplicably through Li Xiao's heart; he hesitated for two seconds, but did not ask directly, choosing instead to ask in a joking, ambiguous, low voice: "Suddenly so proactive? Did you... do something bad behind my back?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang paused and immediately shifted her gaze away, feeling a bit guilty inside.
There was no bad deed...
But the idea had already been decided upon.
Afraid that Li Xiao would see something, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly pushed him away and deliberately complained with feigned annoyance: "Tch, you old lecher, you have a day where you call others proactive? Can't be bothered with you, I'm going back to boil soup!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and quickly walked out the door.
Not until she had walked some distance away did she suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
She realized in hindsight just how abrupt her decision just now had been.
Was she crazy?
To actually want to... with Li Xiao just now.
Even if something really were to happen, it couldn't be at the Hospital!
It wasn't soundproof!
And there were people guarding outside...
Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she heard footsteps chasing after her from behind.
"Madam, Shura told me to take you back."
Laoqi's voice sounded at her side.
"Hmm."
Cai Xiaotang nodded distractedly; the warm sensation still lingered on her lips, and her brain was a mess, not knowing if the sounds in the room just now had been heard from outside.
But one thought became increasingly clear in her mind.
That is...
Before she leaves...
*Cough*...
She wants to thoroughly take advantage of someone!
Half an hour later—the car stopped outside the villa.
Cai Xiaotang jumped out of the car quickly; as soon as she entered the door, she felt the house was empty, seemingly a bit too quiet.
"Is everyone not here?"
She asked curiously.
Laoqi hurriedly replied: "Yes, everyone has things to be busy with."
"Then..."
Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for an instant, and she subconsciously wanted to ask where Luo Wanwan had gone.
With the words on the tip of her tongue, she paused for a moment.
Laoqi noticed her hesitation and hurriedly replied: "Wanwan, she...
... has had some situations recently, so she is basically not here during the day."
"Oh..."
Cai Xiaotang nodded and didn't say anything more.
Not here during the day...
That means she still stays here at night, right?
However...
Ever since that last time, she hadn't come to the Hospital again.
Unable to describe what she was feeling inside, Cai Xiaotang didn't dwell on it and went straight back to the bedroom.
From the moment she decided to leave, her mind had already been made up.
She planned to go to a certain city she had always wanted to visit.
In any case, with the New Year approaching, she was going to have time off anyway.
Plus, during this period, the ski resort needed to be reorganized and renovated due to the previous incident, and various "versions of events" circulating among the guests who were there that day needed to be suppressed, so Li Beijue also had his hands full.
Therefore, she had enough time to "digest" these feelings at the fastest possible speed.
At the very least, when she returned, she would be able to face Li Xiao with the mindset of a friend...
Cai Xiaotang thought to herself, hurriedly packing her luggage.
She did not have many things; she simply packed a few pieces of clothing and then snapped the suitcase shut.
Only then did she turn and head to the kitchen to "cook a special meal" for someone.
After carefully simmering a pot of soup and placing it in a thermos, Cai Xiaotang prepared to head back with Laoqi.
Seeing that Cai Xiaotang had an extra suitcase when she came out, Laoqi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Madam, what is this suitcase..."
Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment; having already thought of an answer, she hurriedly pretended to be casual and replied: "Some clothes I don't want anymore, I plan to donate them. Could you please stop by a courier station in a moment?"
"Understood."
Laoqi did not suspect a thing, and when they passed a courier point, he indeed pulled over.
Cai Xiaotang took her things and got out of the car, walking straight inside.
As soon as she entered, a staff member came up to greet her, and seeing the items in her hand, asked casually: "Hello, are you sending a package?"
"Yes."
Cai Xiaotang nodded, glanced at the suitcase in her hand, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
These things...
She couldn't just send them away directly.
After Li Xiao discovered she was gone, Laoqi would definitely mention today's events.
He would certainly be able to track it down.
So she could only...
Three days later—the stitches on Li Xiao's shoulder could finally be removed, and the wound on his waist had recovered enough that he was granted permission to be discharged and return home to recuperate.
Laoqi and the others were clearly overjoyed; early in the morning, they had all gathered together to pick Li Xiao up from the hospital.
They had even gone so far as to bring a bouquet of flowers, which was unprecedented!
"Tsk... why did you prepare these?"
Li Xiao looked at the massive, garishly red bouquet of roses, his disdain practically written all over his face.
Cai Xiaotang, standing to the side, paused upon hearing this, her expression turning somewhat subtle.
Immediately after, she heard herself being betrayed by Laoqi: "We never would have thought of this! It was Madam who told us to prepare them!"
"That's right, Shura, Madam took the initiative to give you flowers, don't you want them?"
"
Lao San also had the air of someone watching the fun, his gaze darting back and forth between Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang.
Hearing that it was Cai Xiaotang who had ordered them to be prepared, Li Xiao's expression changed instantly, and he took them directly!
A smile that he couldn't hide spread across his face.
"You told them to buy these?"
His voice rose at the end, his face filled with irrepressible pride.
"Ahem..."
Cai Xiaotang coughed lightly, and seeing the massive bouquet of roses in someone's arms, she suddenly regretted this decision.
She had originally thought that before leaving, she would do some things she hadn't done before.
Besides, there was no rule in this world that only men could buy flowers for women.
But she had been thinking of a modest, elegant bouquet to celebrate a patient's discharge!
Who told them to get such a huge bouquet of roses!
It looked as if she were confessing her love...
Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, and then she heard Li Xiao suddenly speak again: "I was planning to give you a surprise, but it turns out you beat me to it..."
