Chapter 961: Don't Delay My Romantic Prospects

Li Xiao himself had not expected that he would have such a strong reaction.

Clearly, just a few seconds ago, he had been thinking about how to coax her back.

Yet, just hearing the words "don't like you anymore," the emotions he had suppressed for so long collapsed in an instant.

How could she possibly not like him anymore?

He didn't believe it!

Bringing up this topic, Cai Xiaotang was clearly stunned for a moment, a flash of conflict quickly crossing her eyes.

Because of the close distance between them, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and her ears felt a bit hot.

She immediately changed the subject and said, "We are all adults; is there any point in dwelling on such questions?"

"You!"

Cai Xiaotang's reply made Li Xiao's chest feel tight again, and for a moment, he actually didn't know how to respond.

No point?

Did she mean that that night didn't represent anything?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt his wrist being violently shaken off.

"Anyway, I've said what I needed to say, you don't need to follow me anymore."

Cai Xiaotang threw out one last sentence and turned to leave without hesitation.

"Cai Xiaotang!"

Li Xiao immediately followed with quick steps, calling her name through gritted teeth, and blocked her path again.

"So this is your reason for suddenly leaving? Are you sure?"

He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, wanting to see something in her expression.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and her hands hanging at her sides clenched unconsciously.

The next second—

"What is there to be unsure about? Does admitting that I don't like you anymore hurt your pride?"

She asked back coldly on purpose.

Then, without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, she continued: "If you want to ask for the reasons why I don't like you, there are too many, for example, you're too old, for example, your personality is too unfaithful, anyway... not liking you means I don't like you."

Cai Xiaotang finished in one breath, hardly daring to look Li Xiao in the eye.

Li Xiao was almost angered to the point of laughter.

Did she think he was a fool?

Too old?

Was today the first day she met him?

Unfaithful?

When had he ever done anything unfaithful?

"Do you even believe what you're saying?"

He suppressed his emotions and asked back.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang was startled, as if something small had gently pricked her heart.

Of course she didn't believe it.

She couldn't find a single reason not to like Li Xiao.

It was precisely because she liked him too much that she had to leave.

"What is there not to believe?"

Cai Xiaotang dug her fingertips hard into her palms; the words she spoke were the exact opposite of what she felt, and she just wanted to leave quickly.

She took a deep breath and emphasized one last time.

"I really feel there is no need for us to continue; please don't come and disturb me again. I am just this kind of person, whether it's people or new things, my interest comes quickly and goes quickly, once the novelty is gone, I'm not interested anymore, so you had better just sign the Divorce Agreement, so as not to delay my next romantic prospect!"

After finishing, she turned and walked toward the side of the road, intending to hail a taxi.

Li Xiao's emotions were completely ignited by her last sentence.

"Romantic prospect?"

He gave a cold hum, his tone finally becoming blunt: "The romantic prospect you speak of is that kind of trash from just now?"

His tone couldn't help but carry a trace of mockery.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but get a bit angry, retorting directly: "Didn't you hear what I said to him just now? You don't need to worry about what kind of person I like! You just need to sign the Divorce Agreement!"

As she spoke, she saw a taxi had stopped in front of her out of the corner of her eye and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

But she didn't expect that the next second—

Li Xiao suddenly pulled the door open first, and his other hand grabbed her wrist!

"Hey! You..."

Cai Xiaotang was caught off guard and dragged into the car; before she could recover, she felt the seat beside her sink, and Li Xiao sat down next to her.

With a "bang," the car door closed.

Li Xiao said the address of the homestay with a dark face.

"What are you doing!"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him with annoyance; she didn't even know how she had been shoved into the car by his clever use of force, only knowing that the two of them couldn't separate for the time being.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and said suppressively, "We'll talk when we get back."

"Who wants to go back with you!"

Cai Xiaotang retorted without thinking, only realizing after she finished that the car had already started.

Every word of their conversation reached the ears of the driver in front, heard clearly.

The driver was a middle-aged man, and upon hearing this, he immediately chuckled and teased, "Oh my... young people should talk things out nicely, no need to argue..."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly; not wanting to argue with Li Xiao in front of a stranger, she simply shut her mouth.

But she hadn't expected the driver to be such a chatterbox, actually starting to offer Li Xiao advice!

Not long after—

The car stopped in front of the guesthouse.

Taking advantage of the moment Li Xiao took out his phone to pay, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly pushed the door open and got out.

But she had only taken two steps when she heard the sound of a car door closing behind her!

She immediately quickened her pace.

Yet, after only two seconds, a certain someone's figure appeared in her peripheral vision, just as she had expected.

"Cai Xiaotang!"

Li Xiao took two quick steps to block Cai Xiaotang's path and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk. Tell me your most honest thoughts..."

"I've already said them."

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to say anything more and intended to walk around him to continue forward.

Just as she moved, however, she suddenly realized something.

That's not right...

How did Li Xiao know she was staying here!

Had he even tracked down this place?

Cai Xiaotang hesitated for two seconds, then felt that for Li Xiao, it wasn't surprising at all that he had found it, so she simply stopped dwelling on it and continued walking forward.

The next second—

"You forced my hand."

The man's voice, clearly pushed to the brink of his patience, rang out.

Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and a sudden, ominous premonition arose.

Then, her feet suddenly lifted off the ground!

Her back pressed against a warm chest.

"Li Xiao!"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened abruptly, a flash of panic quickly crossing her gaze.

He must be crazy!

This was the entrance to a guesthouse!

He just picked her up like this?

"Put me down!"

Cai Xiaotang immediately tried to struggle.

But then she suddenly felt Li Xiao's hand press against her waist with some force!

She didn't know what spot it was, but Cai Xiaotang immediately felt her whole body go numb, and she instantly felt unable to muster any strength.

"You..."

She still wanted to resist.

But the guesthouse door was already right in front of them, so she had no choice but to swallow all her words.

And as soon as they entered, they naturally attracted the gazes of everyone inside.

"Wow... this is so cool..."

Seeing Li Xiao carrying Cai Xiaotang in his arms as they walked in, several young girls nearby immediately began to discuss them excitedly.

Cai Xiaotang, however, could only act like an ostrich, trying her best to hide her face in Li Xiao's chest so she wouldn't be seen, while feeling half-dead with anger inside.

Romantic, my foot!

Once she got back to the room, she would settle the score with this guy!!!
