Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1766: Chapter 1325: Courting Disaster

”Wifey, you’re brilliant!”

Warm tenderness flowed in his sparkling phoenix eyes, Luo Yanqing’s lips curved slightly as he murmured softly, then kissed Kang Li.

...

The next morning.

”Take your time packing up, I’ll go get breakfast.”

Luo Yanqing was refreshed and energetic, bent down to kiss Kang Li’s forehead, then grabbed the lunchbox and headed toward the dorm room door. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned and looked at the not-quite-awake girl: ”I already squeezed the toothpaste for you, you can brush your teeth as soon as you get up. There’s warm water in the basin, don’t wash your face with cold water.”

”Got it.”

Eyes half-open and blurry with sleep, Kang Li cast a lazy glance at him, silently thinking: Can he get any more naggy?

Luo Yanqing’s phoenix eyes overflowed with amusement and indulgence: ”I’ll be back soon.”

”Oh.”

She replied dully, then saw him still standing there. Unable to hold back her annoyance, she said, ”You’re not leaving? Waiting for me to see you off?”

He’d messed around half the night, yet bright and early, he seemed perfectly fine—just how much energy did he have?

”I just want to look at you a bit longer.”

Luo Yanqing’s gaze was like melted sugar, his tone sticky and sweet.

”Can you act normal? One more time and don’t blame me for flattening you!”

She shook her little pink fist, pretending to be fierce.

Seeing this, Luo Yanqing laughed out loud: ”I know my wife can’t bear to do it.”

He finished speaking and left briskly.

Watching the dorm door open and then being closed by Luo Yanqing as he left, Kang Li thought about what he’d just said, rolled her eyes and muttered, ”Who’s reluctant? Me? What kind of international joke is that?!”

She was just worried about the medical bills!

That’s right—the real-life ’Grandet’ was her.

Thinking that, Kang Li couldn’t help but laugh, then shook her head: ”How old am I, and I’m getting more childish by the year?”

Muttering as she went, Kang Li quickly finished tidying herself up.

Breakfast was simple—after the couple finished eating, Kang Li didn’t linger. Under Luo Yanqing’s extremely reluctant gaze, she drove out of the research institute.

”Team Leader, you here to see Comrade Kang off?”

He Wei and Wen Siyuan were returning to the dorm after breakfast in the cafeteria, spotting Luo Yanqing standing downstairs like a waiting husband, staring fixedly ahead. They glanced at each other, didn’t need to guess—everyone knew why Luo Yanqing was there. He Wei couldn’t help but ask with a grin.

”Mm.”

Luo Yanqing looked calmly at He Wei and Wen Siyuan, nodded, then turned and left.

”Our team leader’s temper hasn’t changed in years!”

When Luo Yanqing was gone, He Wei and Wen Siyuan went inside the dorm building. At the same time, He Wei let out a low sigh.

Wen Siyuan: ”Except for Comrade Kang, he’s the same with everyone else.”

”...”

He Wei glanced at Wen Siyuan, admiration in his eyes: ”That’s a spot-on remark.”

”You talk like you hadn’t noticed.”

Wen Siyuan shot He Wei a sideways look. ”Our families are neighbors in the compound, and yeah, we hardly get to take leave, but whenever I do and bump into our team leader’s family at the gate, the way he treats his kids isn’t much different from how he treats outsiders. Feels like all the kids are just extra, and the only one in his eyes is Comrade Kang.”

”Such a loyal team leader!”

He Wei sighed emotionally.

”Are you a playboy?”

Wen Siyuan raised his eyebrows.

”Don’t talk nonsense!”

He Wei lowered his voice: ”I’m the Gu Family’s loving husband. If my wife heard what you just said, I’d be kneeling on the washboard when I got home, and might not even be able to explain myself.”

”Can’t explain?”

Wen Siyuan looked puzzled.

”What’s our relationship? Absolutely the kind of buddies who share pants. You think my wife would suspect you for what you said?”

He Wei pulled a long face: ”So, Old Wen, I’m begging you—be a good guy from now on, don’t screw over your brother!”

”What’re you saying? Who isn’t a good guy?”

Wen Siyuan rolled his eyes and ignored He Wei, heading straight to his dorm room.

He Wei made an ’Erkang hand’, opened his mouth to say something, but ended up not saying a word.

...

The winters back home were cold and travel wasn’t convenient, so this time, Kang Li returned alone—Jiang Hongfa didn’t come along.

As for Jiang Boya, she was busy flying around and currently overseas, so there was no chance for her to join Kang Li for the New Year in Aoli Village.

Still, the day before Kang Li left, she brought all the kids to the Jiang family old house to visit Jiang Hongfa, promising to return to North City as soon as possible after the New Year.

With arrangements from Jiang Hongfa, Kang Li and her kids were driven to the airport by bodyguards, and one bodyguard flew with them to help Kang Li look after the children’s safety.
