"cough……"

Cai Xiaotang coughed lightly and looked away with a somewhat uncomfortable look.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Li Xiao ask directly: "What's going on with the Mu family?"

"Nothing……"

Cai Xiaotang answered subconsciously, with a helpless expression.

Then he suddenly pulled up the quilt as if to escape, wrapped himself up, and said in a muffled voice: "Go to bed, go to sleep!"

Li Xiao paused after hearing this, thought for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.

How can she be so cute?

It seems that he really hates the Mu family, so he reacted like this after receiving the call...

And before hanging up the phone just now, he said, "He's not free either..."

Li Xiao paused slightly, and a dark light quickly flashed in his eyes.

Then he suddenly pulled up the quilt and got in!

"Hey you……"

Cai Xiaotang was startled by him, and before she could finish speaking, she was already hugged into his arms.

"What does the Mu family want to see you for? Why don't you tell me?"

Li Xiao said and suddenly kissed her on the face.

Then he thought of something again and continued: "No, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for us."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Cai Xiaotang didn't expect that he had already guessed it, and her expression suddenly became a little subtle. Just as she was about to speak, she heard her phone ringing for the fourth time!

"Damn! It's not over yet!"

She couldn't suppress her anger any longer, so she jumped out of bed and grabbed her cell phone!

Then……

Seeing the name on the screen, his expression quickly faded.

The caller this time was Mu Liusu.

"Tsk..."

Cai Xiaotang frowned speechlessly, but still put the phone to her ear.

"Hey...brother..."

Her voice was drawn out and looked weak.

"Dad's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Are you coming with Li Xiao?"

Mu Liusu got straight to the point as soon as he came up. Although it was a question, his tone left no room for doubt.

When Cai Xiaotang heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes in her heart, and finally struggled: "Can you not go... Anyway, in that kind of occasion, I will be missing..."

"It's different now."

Mu Liusu interrupted her calmly: "I heard that you attended those ladies' tea parties before?"

"Yes, how do you know? How long ago did this happen?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned, not expecting that he would suddenly mention this.

Mu Liusu chuckled: "That's right. Do you know that after that time, you became famous, so many people now know that you are now the third wife of the Li family. If you and Li Xiao are together the day after tomorrow,

If you don't even show up, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary rumors..."

"So what? Do you care about this?"

Cai Xiaotang retorted without giving any face.

Neither Mu Liusu nor Li Xiao were people who cared about this.

I just said this to have an excuse to let her go with Li Xiao...

"Anyway, just remember to come the day after tomorrow."

Mu Liusu sounded a little helpless.

"I……"

Cai Xiaotang still wanted to refuse, but thinking that Mu Liusu had just arranged a place for him, she couldn't say anything.

If my brother called at this time, it must be what the old man meant!

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips and was struggling, but her hand suddenly became empty!

"Li Xiao?"

She was slightly stunned and saw that Li Xiao had already picked up the phone.

"Hey, it's me, what's going on?"

Li Xiao gave Cai Xiaotang a reassuring look and asked on the other end of the phone.

Immediately not knowing what Mu Liusu said on the other end of the phone, Li Xiao agreed: "Okay, I understand, I will take her with me."

"Li Xiao!"

Cai Xiaotang didn't expect him to agree so readily, and immediately wanted to grab the phone.

Li Xiao had already ended the call and thrust the phone into her hand.

Cai Xiaotang lowered her eyes and looked at the screen that had retreated to the desktop: "..."

"Who asked you to promise it for me! Did I say I was going to attend some stupid birthday party?"

She glared at Li Xiao unhappily, and after she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful.

It’s crazy…

What are you yelling at Li Xiao?

She had already planned to agree...

I also need to trouble him to attend with me...

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, feeling increasingly agitated.

The next second——

But the whole person fell into a warm embrace.

"I made an agreement with Mu Liusu. If you don't like it there, we will leave after cutting the cake and not attend the dance later. And I will always be with you, so don't be angry, okay?"

Li Xiao's tone was gentle and patient, coaxing Cai Xiaotang in a low voice.

Cai Xiaotang's whole body froze, as if someone had suddenly stuffed a ball of cotton into her heart, which made her feel uncomfortable.

This guy……

Since when have you become so comforting?

If you just cut a cake and leave, and you have him with you...it seems...it's not impossible to go back...

And I haven’t seen my mother for a long time...

Cai Xiaotang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she suddenly said softly: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have lost my temper at you just now..."

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were instantly filled with a smile that he couldn't hide.

Sure enough, he still has this lovable character...

"Don't worry, I'm very tolerant. If you don't lose your temper, it won't be like you."

He deliberately made a joke, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cai Xiaotang and immediately raised his eyes in displeasure.

"What do you mean? You want to say that you are broad-minded and I am narrow-minded?"

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows: "I didn't say that!"

"cut……"

Cai Xiaotang snorted softly and moved uncomfortably.

How long does this guy plan to hold on to?

If her heart keeps beating like this, she won't have to sleep tonight!

I don’t know how many more days I will stay here...

It would be better for her to have a room by herself!

Cai Xiaotang was thinking about it, and was about to let Li Xiao let go of her, when she heard him ask again: "Why don't you want to go back so much?"

She was stunned when she heard this, and her expression suddenly became a little complicated.

Li Xiao didn't push her and waited for her answer.

He had already asked people to investigate the Mu family's affairs after the last time.

But……

He wanted to know if Cai Xiaotang could say it himself.

Then...rely on him more.

The air was quiet for a while——

Just when Li Xiao was about to give up, Cai Xiaotang's voice suddenly rang out.

"My mother..."

She whispered three words and fell silent again.

Li Xiao immediately suppressed the words that came to his lips and waited for her to continue.

After a while, Cai Xiaotang continued: "My mother, back then... was forced by that old man, and he used very disgraceful means to bring her back to the Mu family."

Cai Xiaotang's tone was light and without any emotion. After speaking, she suddenly looked at Li Xiao.

"This kind of thing, in fact, in a circle like yours, it should be a long time ago, right?"

Li Xiao didn't say anything, but when he met her eyes, he suddenly felt panicked for a moment.

He doesn't like adjectives like "your kind of circle".
