Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1211:

”Should I start a fire now?”

”Do you really need to ask me that?”

”Can’t we talk nicely?”

”No, we can’t.”

”You woman...”

”What about me?”

The old man should just voice his grievances openly. Why say ”I can’t talk to a woman like you”?

Captain Kang: ”...” This woman is getting more and more outrageous!

After dropping the three young ones off at school, Luo Yanqing didn’t linger on the road and went straight back home. As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of food.

Cai Xiufen: ”You’re back?! Quickly wash your hands and eat.”

Luo Yanqing: ”Okay.”

Three bowls of delicious oil-splashed noodles were placed on the table. Seeing Luo Yanqing walk into the living room, Cai Xiufen said, ”Eat quickly, or the noodles will get soggy.”

”Mom, you and dad eat too.”

Luo Yanqing said as she picked up a bowl.

Captain Kang: ”Go ahead and eat.” He handed Cai Xiufen a pair of chopsticks, lifted the large porcelain bowl in front of him, and began eating the noodles heartily. They looked and smelled delicious.

That afternoon, to be precise, around four o’clock, there was some commotion in the Wen Family Courtyard next door.

”They must be back from the hospital!”

Cai Xiufen, having just finished beating the dust out of the quilts, returned to the living room and whispered, motioning towards the direction next door.

”It’s their home, where else would they go?”

Captain Kang sipped his tea and said, ”Don’t forget, you were once the women’s head. Your awareness and quality are different from ordinary women. Don’t always think about watching the commotion.”

”Did I ever say I was going to watch?”

Cai Xiufen lowered her voice to avoid disturbing Luo Yanqing, who was reading in the study.

”Are you sure you don’t want to go see what’s happening?”

Captain Kang inquired.

”Even if I did, what’s the harm? There are so many people watching, will one more really make a difference?” Cai Xiufen glared at Captain Kang. ”I’m no longer the women’s head, so stop mentioning awareness and quality to me.”

Before Kang Li could speak, he continued, ”I want to buy some toys and clothes for Jian, but I don’t know what to pick. If you have the time, could you come with me to the mall?”

”Let’s go.”

Kang Li stood up, but as Austin got up, she said, ”Wait a moment, I need to say a quick hello to my grandfather and Aunt Fu.”

With that, Kang Li left the living room.

About three to four minutes later, footsteps could be heard on the stairs. Austin looked up, ”Ready to go?” Kang Li descended the stairs, smiling as she nodded.

”Let me carry that for you.”

Seeing the bag in Kang Li’s hand, Austin extended his hand.

Kang Li shook her head and politely declined, ”No need.”

”Ride in my car.”

Austin opened the car door, inviting Kang Li inside.

”I’ll drive myself, it will be more convenient for me to return later, and saves you the trip.”

Lightly shaking her head, Kang Li went to the garage and drove out a white compact car. ”Lead the way,” she said, glancing outside the car window.

”Okay.”

Austin felt mixed emotions, but still responded with a smile.

It should be said, the white compact car was specially bought by Jiang Boya for Kang Li, his precious daughter.

Over half an hour later, their cars smoothly parked in the lot of a large mall.

Stepping out of the car, Kang Li acted naturally, chatting with Austin as they walked into the mall.

”Does this clothing fit?”

”Jian and our second child are similar in height and build, so this size shouldn’t be a problem. Not long ago, my partner and I came to this mall to buy clothes for the kids and we picked a similar one for our second child then, but in a different color.”

”Let’s buy it then.”

In the children’s clothing section, they picked several outfits for Jian. Then they moved to the children’s shoe section, selecting a pair of black leather shoes and two pairs of sneakers appropriate for Jian’s age. Kang Li said, ”It’s okay to buy shoes a little big.”

Austin nodded.

Bigger shoes can wait until his feet grow into them.

”Let’s head to the toy section.”

Kang Li motioned for Austin to follow as they made their way to the children’s toy section, following the mall’s signs. Kang Li commented as she browsed the shelf, ”Boys like cars and planes, while girls prefer...” She softly explained to Austin the toy preferences of boys and girls.

Before long, half an hour had passed, and the two walked out of the mall.

Austin placed the large and small bags into his car’s trunk and then took the bags Kang Li was holding. ”Thank you!”

Luo Yanqing, Captain Kang, and Cai Xiufen had just returned to the courtyard after getting off the plane when they heard arguing next door from the Wen family. Immediately following was a shout from Wen Siyuan: ”Are you crazy!”

”What’s going on?”

Cai Xiufen asked Captain Kang.

”The neighbors are arguing.”

Big Brother Kang replied casually.

”I know that. I’m asking why they’re arguing.” Cai Xiufen looked at Captain Kang, annoyed he didn’t grasp her question, but to her surprise, he responded with equal annoyance: ”How should I know what you don’t know?”

”Grandma, Grandma, I’ll go out and help you take a look.”

Ming Han said cheerfully before darting out of the living room.

”I’ll go help Grandma look too.” Ming Wei said, planning to chase after her brother Ming Han, but Luo Yanqing intervened, ”Sit tight.”

Ming Wei responded with an ”Oh,” somewhat sullenly sitting next to Cai Xiufen.

”Already upset?” Cai Xiufen inquired, but surprisingly, Ming Wei shook her head and furtively glanced at Luo Yanqing, whispering, ”No, I’m not.”

”Alright, watching the commotion isn’t a good thing. If you’re not careful, you might get into trouble. Your dad just wants what’s best for you.”

Cai Xiufen comforted the little girl.

”But my second brother already ran out.”

Ming Wei puffed her cheeks, speaking with a hint of grievance, ”Dad is always stern when talking to me and my older and second brothers. It frightens me.”

”That’s just how your dad is. He doesn’t like to smile, but he’s not intentionally giving us cold looks.” With a loving expression, Cai Xiufen pointed to the heap of luggage in the middle of the living room and asked the little girl: ”Aren’t you curious to see what your mom bought you?”

Immediately, Ming Wei’s eyes brightened, nodding enthusiastically, ”Grandma, I want to see!”

”Wait a moment. Once Grandma rests, I’ll pull out each thing your mom bought for you.” As she spoke, Cai Xiufen saw Ming Han rushing back into the living room.

”Can’t you walk properly?”

Luo Yanqing looked at Ming Han, ”How many times has your mom told you, don’t rush around. If you crash into someone or take a fall, what would you do?”

”I’m sorry.”

Standing formally, Ming Han tentatively said, ”Should I go reflect by facing the wall for half an hour?”

However, Luo Yanqing remained silent, simply watching him quietly.

Tension rose in his heart, Ming Han quickly and obediently said, ”I’ll go right now.”

But before heading towards the wall, he turned his gaze to Cai Xiufen, ”Grandma, Uncle Wen and Auntie Su next door are getting a divorce. Auntie Su didn’t agree, and then she took a lot of pills right in front of Uncle Wen. Now he’s taken her to the hospital. I heard Aunt Xu and Teacher Loo say that if Auntie Su doesn’t get her stomach pumped in time, she might not make it.”
