The boss always wants to smack me

Once certain ideas are born, they can instantly open up directions that have never been thought about before.

Li Xiao was startled for a moment, his brows furrowed suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what reason he sacrificed, whether it was public or private, good or bad, someone should always talk about it, probably as gossip after dinner.

But for so many years, he seems to have never heard anyone talk about it, or even mention it.

Lao Qi and the others followed him for various reasons after he took over.

Over the years, some betrayed and some disappeared, and in the end, there were only a few of them left.

As for the other people under their command, some of them were professional staff uniformly assigned by "above", and some of them joined after he took over.

No one seemed to have anything to do with the previous leader.

He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, never existed at all...

This in itself is very abnormal.

Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he tried hard to catch the little thread in his mind, but suddenly felt the people around him move slightly.

"Um……"

Cai Xiaotang seemed to sense the emotions of the people around him, muttered something in a low voice, hugged Li Xiao's arm tightly, and pressed his face against it.

Li Xiao's thoughts were interrupted in an instant, but he was not unhappy. Instead, he pinched Cai Xiaotang's face with a smile, and couldn't help but bowed his head to kiss him again. Suddenly, the scene of the Ferris wheel came back to his mind.

Cai Xiaotang once asked him if he was willing to withdraw from the secret door.

Quit...he really never thought about it.

He admitted that at the beginning, he didn't pay much attention to the secret door, just to use their hands to find out the behind-the-scenes of that incident.

But I didn't expect that I gradually got used to it later, and it took so many years to do it.

Maybe a man will have some heroic plots no matter what, anyway, if he doesn't do these things, someone will have to do them...

However, he seems to have really wavered now.

Because of this person around.

He didn't want to see her being involved in unknown danger because of him at some point.

But if you want to quit, how can it be so easy?

The only thing I can do now is to protect her...

Li Xiao looked down at Cai Xiaotang who was sleeping soundly in his arms, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, hugged him tighter, and closed his eyes.

Either way, he won't hurt her again.

……

The next day—

When Cai Xiaotang woke up, he found that there was nothing around him.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a little strange when he thought that a certain person wouldn't get up even if he woke up, but stuck to her like a brown candy.

It seems that he is finally "sticky" enough to her?

Thinking about it, Cai Xiaotang simply got up to tidy up, walked out of the bedroom unhurriedly, and planned to go to the upstairs study to find someone.

But I didn't expect that just as I approached, I heard Luo Wanwan's voice coming from inside!

"Li Xiao, this is the coffee I just made, can I put it here for you?"

She is still gentle and gentle, with a gentle voice that seems to be able to pinch water.

Cai Xiaotang paused, and simply stood a few steps away from the study door, waiting to hear Li Xiao's answer.

I thought that Li Xiao would say thank you indifferently at most.

But I didn't expect Cai Xiaotang to hear——

"No, I slept well last night. I don't need coffee to refresh me. If I need it, I'd rather drink some sugar made by myself."

Li Xiao actually refused directly!

In the end, he still didn't forget to pull Cai Xiaotang out to show his affection, while emphasizing her position in his heart, as if reminding Luo Wanwan of something.

There was an instant silence in the room.

I also know that Luo Wanwan's expression at this time must not be very good.

"puff……"

Cai Xiaotang finally couldn't help laughing softly, as if a tail that didn't exist was raised high behind her.

Then Luo Wanwan's voice continued to come from the room.

"Li Xiao... I know that you and Xiaotang have a good relationship, I don't mean anything else, I just know that you are used to drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, and Xiaotang is sleepy, so you must not wake up now, so..."

"It's okay, I can wait for her to get up."

Li Xiao directly interrupted Luo Wanwan this time, and added: "You were originally a guest living here, not to mention moving away soon, in fact, you don't need to do anything, just leave it to others."

He spoke politely, but his tone was extremely alienated, deliberately emphasizing "guest" and "moving away soon".

Luo Wanwan's fingers holding the tray tightened violently, her chest was so stuffy that she was about to vomit blood after what Li Xiao said.

Does Li Xiao really want to distance himself from her?

Obviously he wasn't like this when she first came back!

It must be that gossiping woman Cai Xiaotang who was chewing in his ear, what did she say!

Luo Wanwan stood there unwillingly, hesitating what else to say.

outside the room—

Cai Xiaotang was too lazy to continue listening.

She curled her lips, deliberately took two steps forward, and made a loud noise.

Then he pushed open the door of the study.

"Didn't I get up?"

She didn't shy away from what she heard the two talking just now.

While speaking, he walked directly to Li Xiao's side, took advantage of the situation and sat directly on the armrest of Li Xiao's chair, and then picked up the cup of coffee in front of him.

Li Xiao was startled, realizing what she was going to do, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from sitting unsteadily and falling.

Immediately after—

"This coffee smells delicious, can I have a sip?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at Luo Wanwan with a smile.

Luo Wanwan: "..."

This bitch did it on purpose!

"Of course it's fine, what's so polite about it."

Even though she had already gritted her teeth, Luo Wanwan still replied with a smile.

Li Xiao didn't stop him either, he just rested his chin on one hand and kept looking at Cai Xiaotang.

No.

It should be said that since Cai Xiaotang came in, his eyes have never looked elsewhere.

Cai Xiaotang took a sip of coffee calmly.

The ring on the ring finger also flashed slightly at this time, with a flash of crystal light.

Luo Wanwan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at Li Xiao's fingers almost subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the ring was similar to the style on Cai Xiaotang's finger. It was obvious at a glance that it was the style of a couple's ring, and his heart suddenly pulled hard.

All the blood in his body seemed to rush into his brain in an instant, and he wished he could rush up and finish Cai Xiaotang with his own hands.

why...

Why can Cai Xiaotang get everything she wants so easily!

Then what is it that she spent so much effort to return to Li Xiao's side?

is it a joke

"Ding" sound.

The sound of Cai Xiaotang putting the cup back in place interrupted Luo Wanwan's thoughts.

The next second—

She smiled at Luo Wanwan, a sly look suddenly flashed in her eyes.

For a long time, this Luo Wanwan liked to pretend to be gentle, considerate and considerate in front of Li Xiao.

Rather than...
