Cai Xiaotang didn't seem to want to wait for his answer.
He just retracted his gaze lightly and continued.
"Then I came along. Mrs. Mu didn't like my mother, and naturally she didn't like me either. When I was living in the Mu family since I was a child... I've almost forgotten how I lived... that old man had two children. It’s not enough to be a woman, and she goes out all day to mess around with women..."
"Mrs. Mu quarreled and made trouble with him, but my mother didn't say anything. It seemed as if these things had nothing to do with her... Her health has always been bad, and she seemed to have many things on her mind every day, but she was always right I was very good and didn't make me suffer too much. Later... her health got worse and worse, and finally she passed away... After she was gone, I moved out of Mu's house. , live by yourself..."
Cai Xiaotang's tone was always calm, as if she was talking about someone else's affairs.
Li Xiao listened in silence, feeling his heart tightening.
He had already guessed that Cai Xiaotang's strong character must be due to family reasons.
I still have some regrets...
I regretted asking her the question I just asked.
"Hello? What's your expression?"
Cai Xiaotang's voice was suddenly confused, and Li Xiao's attention was suddenly drawn back.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Li Xiao asked subconsciously.
Then he saw Cai Xiaotang deliberately wrinkle his whole face, and said in a pinched voice: "You had the same expression as I did just now, as if you heard some terrible sad drama."
"I……"
Li Xiao was stunned, hearing her say this in such a joking tone, his heart felt sour again.
Cai Xiaotang's expression suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and she spoke quickly.
"Don't pity me. These things have long since passed. I just don't like that old man. I will never forgive him in this life. As for the other things... my mother is gone, which may be a relief for herself. And even if I live on my own, won’t I still grow this big?”
"By the way, there is also my brother. He has helped me a lot since I was a child. Although he doesn't say it, I know that he is really good to me. After all, my mother and I were the ones who ruined his family back then. But But he has never bullied me or looked down on me..."
"I realized a long time ago that if our identities were reversed, I would definitely not be able to quickly accept a sudden appearance of a so-called sister, so...usually when he comes to me for anything, I would be too embarrassed to refuse. , and don’t want to embarrass him.”
Cai Xiaotang finished speaking in one breath, pretending to be relaxed and poked Li Xiao's shoulder: "I'm going to trouble you to come with me this time..."
"No trouble."
Li Xiao took the opportunity to hold her fingertips and kissed her gently.
"If there is another occasion like this in the future, I will accompany you, and no one can bully you, you know?"
His tone was serious, and his deep black eyes seemed to see through all her disguises.
Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat and she instantly retracted her hand.
"Anyway...that's the deal anyway! I won't tell you anymore! I'm sleepy! I want to sleep!"
As she spoke, she quickly distanced the two of them, and warned loudly: "To ensure the quality of my sleep! Let's sleep together!"
Hearing this, a smile quickly flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and he deliberately teased: "Sleep quality? Do you know what it looks like when you sleep? I hold you to sleep to ensure the quality of my sleep."
"you!"
Cai Xiaotang was speechless by what he said. Then she thought of her "unrestrained" sleeping appearance, and she couldn't refute it.
at this time--
"Third Young Master, are you asleep?"
The butler's voice sounded along with the knock on the door.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiao stood up and asked towards the door.
The housekeeper replied: "The old man suddenly has something to do and wants to invite you to his room."
"knew."
Li Xiao agreed, turned around and got out of bed.
Cai Xiaotang quickly wrapped herself into a ball, leaving only a pair of eyes looking at him.
Li Xiao paused, his eyes drifted over, and suddenly felt that he was struck by a strange cuteness.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he raised his hand to rub the top of Cai Xiaotang's head.
"Don't wait for me. If you feel sleepy, go to bed first. I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
"Who wants to wait for you..."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted in a low voice, but Li Xiao had already opened the door and left.
There was a "click" and the room became quiet.
Cai Xiaotang finally let herself out of the quilt and breathed a small sigh of relief.
As expected, it’s more comfortable to be alone!
Now as long as you stay with Li Xiao, you must always be wary of whether he will suddenly tease you!
She admitted that she just couldn't resist!
But if you can’t afford to offend, you can always hide!
Cai Xiaotang thought and quickly turned over, intending to force herself to sleep before someone came back.
But just as I closed my eyes, my phone suddenly dinged again!
"Again?"
She opened her eyes suddenly and picked up the phone almost angrily!
Then I saw the push on the screen and was suddenly stunned.
It was the zodiac blogger I followed before and sent a new tweet.
Cai Xiaotang stared at it for a few seconds, then stretched out her hand out of nowhere and clicked on the screen...
"Have you received a confession... I suggest you enjoy the ambiguous period for a while... before confirming the relationship? Enjoy... sweet love with all your heart?"
Cai Xiaotang muttered the content of the tweet in a low voice. The more she looked at the back, the bigger her eyes became!
this……
Is this blogger some kind of god?
It was previously said that her zodiac sign will receive a confession this week...
As a result, she not only received it!
And it was confessed by two people!
so……
That original tweet might have hinted at... Li Xiao?
but……
The two of them are indeed in an...ambiguous period, right?
Cai Xiaotang put down her phone and couldn't help but pout slightly.
How can there be anyone like them?
They are already a couple... but it seems that they haven't even officially started dating yet.
If she really accepted Li Xiao...then who are they?
Boy and girl?
But obviously I even have a marriage certificate...
But I got married to protect her in the first place!
Not even a decent proposal... I always feel like I'm at a loss...
Cai Xiaotang frowned, her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't help but think of the scene of the two people being entangled just now, and her face suddenly felt hot.
"Oh, I don't think about it anymore! Go to sleep!"
She muttered and quickly closed her eyes.
the other side--
Li Xiao left Mr. Li's room, played with a black and gold-plated invitation in his hand, and walked towards his study with his lips curled up, seemingly in a good mood.
Just right...
He has been thinking about how to give her a gift for the past two days so that it would not be rejected.
Now, the opportunity came to you.
