Chapter 951: The Person Has Been Found
"Are you being so cold and aloof?"
There was not a hint of embarrassment on the boy's face from being rejected; instead, his eyes held a glimmer of excitement as he spoke, reaching out directly toward Cai Xiaotang to introduce himself.
"My name is Gu Han. Do you want to get to know each other? Make friends? I see you seem to have come traveling alone, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang could not help but sigh in her heart.
She had indeed come alone.
She also knew that this atmosphere, filled with "literary youths" everywhere, was particularly prone to making those young boys and girls fall in "love at first sight."
But no matter what the other party's intentions were, she had no interest and no mood for it.
Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang simply said directly: "I'm thirty-five, divorced, a mother of two children. I have no interest in little kids like you. If this is a pickup attempt, then forget it."
She deliberately exaggerated her age and current situation, and as she spoke, she prepared to leave.
"Wait a second!!!"
Unexpectedly, the other party refused to give up and followed her again, his face full of surprise.
"You're already thirty-five? I can't tell at all! Your figure is also great! You don't look like someone who has given birth to two children at all! Since you're divorced, you came here alone to clear your head, right? Then you should have someone by your side to talk to even more. Everyone who comes here has a story. If you don't mind, I can help you relieve your gloom..."
"No need, I'm going back to rest."
Cai Xiaotang headed toward the direction of the guesthouse, her pace quickening.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the person beside her was still following.
"Please don't follow me."
She looked at the person in front of her with some helplessness.
In all fairness, Gu Han's appearance and temperament were not the kind that made people dislike him.
Walking in a crowd, he was definitely the type of handsome guy who would cause girls to whisper about him.
But she really was not in the mood for this right now.
Gu Han also simply stopped, a dark glint flashing quickly across the bottom of his eyes.
Yet he continued to say: "I was planning to go back to rest too. Actually... I saw you when I was eating just now. I didn't expect us to be staying at the same guesthouse. Don't you think that's quite a coincidence?"
Cai Xiaotang: "..."
She no longer wanted to speak.
Are all young boys these days this glib?
Looking around, there were plenty of girls on the beach younger than her.
Why must he be so interested in her?
Cai Xiaotang kept complaining in her heart, simply stopped talking, and continued walking forward.
Who would have thought that as soon as she entered the door, she would happen to run into the landlady, who greeted her enthusiastically: "Ms. Cai, you're back."
"Mm."
Cai Xiaotang nodded.
Immediately after, she heard: "So your surname is Cai, then I'll call you Sister Cai Cai."
"You..."
Cai Xiaotang could not help but be angered to the point of laughter.
"Little kid, I just got divorced, so I'm in a very bad mood and just want to have some peace and quiet. If you want to make friends, there are plenty of people here around your age; you don't need to keep staring at me."
She left behind one last sentence and turned to go upstairs without a second thought.
"Hey..."
Gu Han watched her leave, the smile on his face instantly collapsing, turning into annoyance.
Yet his eyes flashed with an excited glint.
Thirty-five?
Divorced?
Still a mother of two children?
He didn't know if the latter two were true or false, but the first one was absolutely impossible.
He had seen so many women; he had never been wrong about something like age.
She should be at most only three or four years older than him.
And...
If she really had been married, she must have sufficient "experience" regarding certain matters, making her much easier to handle than those naive young girls who had never known a man.
It was just that her personality was a bit difficult...
Gu Han thought to himself, then turned and walked toward several boys sitting together in the distance, his mind filled with the cold yet gorgeous face Cai Xiaotang had when she rejected him just now.
I wonder what that face would look like in bed?
"Yo, Young Master Gu, you're back?"
One of the boys saw him walk over and teased him with a smile.
"Mm."
Gu Han responded casually and sat down.
The few of them were of similar age, and one could tell at a glance that what they were wearing and carrying was expensive.
Gu Han had still been in the guise of a "sunny big boy" in front of Cai Xiaotang, but now, mixed in with these people, he revealed a bit of his true state—the look of a playboy.
Immediately after—
The person who had just spoken to him took out his phone and shook it at him in a showy manner.
On the screen was a photo of a sweet-looking young girl.
"Young Master Gu, look at this. I just added her on the beach. She's out on a graduation trip with friends. I've already asked her out to drink together tonight. How about that, is that fast enough?"
"It's alright, I suppose."
Gu Han glanced at his phone, showing little interest.
Immediately after, he heard someone else ask: "What about your end? We saw that the great beauty seemed to have rejected you just now? Could it be that our Sea King Gu is actually going to have a day where he crashes and burns?"
"Yeah, that type of cold and aloof beauty is definitely not easy to handle. Why don't you switch to a different target?" another person chimed in.
"Tch..."
Gu Han let out a cold snort and glanced in the direction Cai Xiaotang had gone upstairs just now.
"Easy to handle. Just wait and see."
The harder a woman was to get, the more determined he was to win her over.
After all, something obtained after spending time is much more fulfilling than one that takes the bait with a single word, isn't it?
On the other side—
Inside Li Xiao's study.
Laoqi and the others were holding the information they had finally found, reporting to Li Xiao.
"Shura, we checked the booking information for everyone around the Madam and discovered that only her colleague recently booked a homestay in D City and has already checked in, but since she herself is still at work, it must have been booked for the Madam."
After Laoqi finished speaking, Lao Wu continued.
"Following this lead, we found that the Madam didn't stay in F City, the city where the airport is located, at all. Instead, after getting off the plane, she chose a car rental service and went to D City in the same province. That's why... we didn't find her at first..."
After the few of them finished speaking, seeing that Li Xiao didn't say anything, they looked at each other and all fell into silence.
This maneuver by Cai Xiaotang had really put everyone through the wringer, and they were all quite surprised.
After a long while—
"Give me the address of the homestay and go prepare the private jet."
Li Xiao finally spoke, the expression on his face dark and unreadable, with only a glimmer of dark light flashing in the depths of his eyes; his whole face was practically written with the words "in a bad mood," and he was furious inside.
Cai Xiaotang, oh Cai Xiaotang...
To think she went through such a big detour and racked her brains just to hide herself?
How come he never noticed she had so many tricks up her sleeve before?
Was all that little cleverness of hers used entirely on him?
Li Xiao let out a heavy sigh, stood up abruptly, and headed back to his room to pack his things without looking back.
It's a good thing she was found...
Let's see how she hides now!
