Chapter 948: Divorce Agreement

Cai Xiaotang pulled Jiang Baobao along quickly toward the restroom.

She also took a quick glance at the direction behind her, discovering that Laoqi was indeed still following.

The two of them entered the restroom together.

Cai Xiaotang casually found an empty stall and walked in with the dress she had just bought.

A few minutes later, she walked out, looking "brand new."

"How is it? Does it look okay?"

Cai Xiaotang asked while walking over to the mirror.

The person in the mirror was no longer wearing the thick, dark-colored coat from before, but had changed into a light-colored overcoat.

The dress underneath was also the brown long dress she had just bought.

Paired with the sunglasses that covered half her face and her deliberately altered hairstyle, she looked completely different from the Cai Xiaotang who had walked in.

Someone who knew her would probably be able to recognize her if they looked for a few extra seconds.

But if she just flashed by before their eyes, it shouldn't attract too much attention.

"No problem..."

Jiang Baobao watched as Cai Xiaotang finished her preparations, yet she still couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

"Xiao Tang..."

"I know, I'll call you the moment I arrive! Don't worry! I definitely won't forget!"

Cai Xiaotang knew what Jiang Baobao wanted to say after hearing just two words; she smiled and interrupted her, then urged, "And don't forget what you promised me—no matter what Li Xiao asks you, you can only say you don't know; you cannot reveal even a bit of my whereabouts!"

"Okay..."

Jiang Baobao nodded.

Only then was Cai Xiaotang relieved, and she immediately took out the documents and phone she had in her bag and put them directly into her pockets.

To be safe, she wouldn't leave a single thing behind.

She then handed her bag to Jiang Baobao, feeling at ease.

Finally, she straightened her outfit in front of the mirror and let out a shallow sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

It was time to leave.

Jiang Baobao nodded and, as the two had agreed, walked out first.

She didn't rush to leave, however, but sat down in the waiting area at the entrance, seemingly waiting for Cai Xiaotang to come out from inside.

Immediately after—Cai Xiaotang also walked out from inside.

She passed by Jiang Baobao without changing her expression, not stopping for even half a second, as if the two were truly strangers who didn't know each other at all.

Her eyes, hidden behind the sunglasses, swept around quickly and spotted Laoqi not far away.

Her gaze brushed past him quickly; the two didn't even have direct eye contact.

Cai Xiaotang walked directly in the opposite direction, her pace getting faster and faster.

Her heart was also pounding with nervousness.

Not until she turned a corner and was completely out of his line of sight did she finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Suc... success.

Cai Xiaotang stood there stunned for a second, a bitter smile suddenly appearing on her face.

It seems...

She is still quite capable after all!

So even without Li Xiao in the future, she can live very well on her own!

Anyway, before meeting him, she had originally planned to live her whole life alone.

Now, she has simply returned to the path she was on before.

This is better for everyone.

The mall exit was right before her eyes.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye and strode away without looking back.

Half an hour later—outside the restroom door, Jiang Baobao, who had been sitting on the bench the whole time, suddenly stood up.

She lowered her head and glanced at her phone.

On it was a message Cai Xiaotang had just sent.

【I'm already ready to board, Baobao, I'll leave the rest to you.】

A short line of text.

Looking at the content alone, one would think she was happily going on a trip.

But only Jiang Baobao knew that when she left just now, sadness and reluctance were written all over her face.

Jiang Baobao sighed helplessly in her heart.

Then, her gaze swept around quickly and happened to meet the eyes of Laoqi, who was looking over here with a puzzled expression.

He was likely wondering why Cai Xiaotang hadn't come out after being in the restroom for half an hour.

But he had no way to go up and ask.

His gaze couldn't help but become increasingly obvious.

Jiang Baobao walked straight toward Laoqi.

Laoqi clearly noticed her too.

Seeing her walk directly toward him, he frowned almost immediately and took two steps forward.

Then, before he could speak, Jiang Baobao handed something directly in front of him.

"Xiao Tang... has already left."

She spoke in a low voice, the expression on her face somewhat apologetic.

"Left?"

Laoqi was stunned upon hearing this, looking completely unable to process the news.

Immediately after, he heard Jiang Baobao continue: "She said she wanted to go out alone to clear her head and not be disturbed by anyone; this document is for Li Xiao, please pass it on for her."

"This..."

Laoqi was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that he could actually lose track of someone!!!

And right under his own nose!!!

"Where did the Madam go?"

He hurriedly pressed for an answer.

Jiang Baobao, however, only shook her head apologetically.

"I don't know either, I am just helping her pass this item along."

Laoqi took the bag with a solemn expression; knowing the relationship between Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang, he realized he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of her, so he could only reply: "Alright, I understand, I will go deliver it now."

"Sorry for the trouble."

Jiang Baobao said nothing more and turned to leave.

Laoqi, meanwhile, quickly dialed Li Xiao's number.

It only rang twice before the call was answered.

"Hello? What is it?"

The environment on Li Xiao's end was somewhat noisy, as if he were in a crowd, but he sounded to be in a good mood.

Laoqi didn't have time to ask where he was, only saying in a low voice: "Shura, I have failed in my duty; I... I have lost the Madam."

"Lost? What do you mean?"

Li Xiao's voice turned cold almost instantly.

Only then did Laoqi hurriedly recount everything from when Cai Xiaotang wanted to go out until just a moment ago.

Finally, he said regretfully: "I was keeping an eye on the Madam the whole time; now that I think about it, she must have bought other clothes at the women's clothing store and then left in disguise; I didn't notice..."

"Wait for me at the parking lot, I'm coming to find you now."

Li Xiao dropped that final sentence and hung up directly.

Twenty minutes later—a black car sped and screeched to a halt downstairs at the mall.

Without even taking the time to park, Li Xiao simply abandoned the car by the roadside and pushed the door open to get out.

Immediately, he saw Laoqi already walking in his direction.

"Shura, this is what the Young Madam asked me to pass on to you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Xiao had already reached out to take it.

At the moment he was about to open it, he hesitated for a split second.

On the way here, he had already called Cai Xiaotang countless times.

But not a single one had gone through.

He already had a vague premonition in his heart.

But... he did not want to admit it.

It couldn't be.

How could she possibly want to leave?

They were clearly still... just last night.

Thinking of those intimate and lingering scenes from last night, a dark light flashed fiercely in Li Xiao's eyes.

So, she was so proactive last night because...

Li Xiao did not hesitate any longer and opened the seal of the bag, his fingertips touching a thin sheet of paper.

His heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly pulled it out.

The five large characters instantly struck his eyes, and his pupils shrank violently.

The aura around his entire body froze in an instant.

It really was...

Divorce Agreement.
