The boss always wants to smack me

"cough……"

Cai Xiaotang coughed lightly, and looked away with some unease.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiao was heard directly asking: "What's the matter with the Mu family?"

"Nothing……"

Cai Xiaotang replied subconsciously, with a helpless expression.

Then he suddenly pulled up the quilt as if escaping, wrapped himself up, and said in a muffled voice: "Sleep, sleep!"

Li Xiao paused when he heard the words, thought for a while, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

How can she be so cute?

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

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

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

Then he suddenly raised the quilt and got in!

"Hey you……"

Cai Xiaotang was taken aback by him, before he finished speaking, he was already hugged into his arms.

"What is the Mu family looking for you? Why don't you tell me?"

As Li Xiao said, he suddenly kissed her on the face.

Then he thought of something again, and continued: "No, it's not you, it's us."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

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

"Damn! There's more to come!"

She couldn't hold back her anger anymore, a carp jumped up from the bed and grabbed the phone!

then……

Seeing the name on the screen, his expression faltered quickly again.

This time it was Mu Liusu who called.

"Tsk..."

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

"Hey...brother..."

Her voice was drawn out, and she looked weak.

"Dad's birthday the day after tomorrow, are you coming with Li Xiao?"

As soon as Mu Liusu came up, he went straight to the point. Although it was a question, his tone was unquestionable.

Cai Xiaotang immediately rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard the words, and finally struggled: "Can I not go...Anyway, in that kind of occasion, I'm the only one..."

"It's different now."

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

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

Cai Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to mention this suddenly.

Mu Liusu chuckled lightly: "That's right, do you know that after that time, you became famous, so now many people know that you are now the third wife of the Li family, if the day after tomorrow you and Li Xiao If they don’t show up, I’m afraid it will cause some unnecessary rumors..."

"So what? Do you care about that?"

Cai Xiaotang retorted without giving any face.

Neither Mu Liusu nor Li Xiao are the kind of people who would care about these things.

This is just for an excuse to let her go with Li Xiao...

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

Mu Liusu's tone was a little helpless.

"I……"

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

My brother called at this time, it must be the old man's intention!

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

"Li Xiao?"

She was slightly taken aback, seeing that Li Xiao had already picked up the phone.

"Hey, it's me, what's the matter?"

Li Xiao gave Cai Xiaotang a reassuring look, and asked a question on 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 happily, and immediately wanted to grab the phone.

However, Li Xiao had already ended the call, and slipped the phone into her hand.

Cai Xiaotang looked down at the screen that had receded to the desktop: "..."

"Who asked you to promise for me! Did I ever say that I'm going to some stupid birthday party!"

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

It's crazy...

What are you yelling at Li Xiao?

She had already planned to agree...

I have to trouble him to attend with me...

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath, feeling more and more irritable.

The next second—

But the whole person fell into a warm embrace.

"I've made an agreement with Mu Liusu, you don't like it there, we'll leave after cutting the cake, we won't go to 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 froze all over, as if someone had suddenly stuffed a ball of cotton into her heart, it was unbearably soft.

This guy……

When did you become so comforting?

If you just cut a cake and left, and he was 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 suddenly he said softly: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now..."

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes instantly filled with an unconcealable smile.

Sure enough, it's still such a lovable character...

"Don't worry, I have a big heart. If you don't lose your temper, you won't be like you."

He made a joke on purpose, and just as he finished speaking, he really looked up when he saw Cai Xiaotang 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 lightly, and moved a little uncomfortably.

When is this guy going to hold him?

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

I don't know how many days I will stay here...

It's better for her to live in a room by herself!

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

She was taken aback when she heard the words, and her expression suddenly became a little complicated.

Li Xiao didn't urge her either, and waited for her answer.

The matter of the Mu family has already been investigated by him after the last time.

but……

He wondered 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 pressed back the words that came to his lips, waiting for her to continue.

After a while, Cai Xiaotang continued: "My mother... was forced by that old man back then, and brought her back to Mu's house by means of disgrace."

Cai Xiaotang's tone was light, without any emotion, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at Li Xiao.

"This kind of thing, in fact, in your circle, you should have seen it for a long time, right?"

Li Xiao didn't speak, met her eyes, and suddenly panicked for a moment.

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

It seems that he and Cai Xiaotang are divided into two worlds abruptly.
