Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1296 - 1206_3

"I have no clue where that woman is now. If I ever cross paths with her again, just see how I handle her!"

At those words, Kang Li chuckled. "That’s truly not needed. She’s nothing to me at all. In my heart, there’s only one mom."

Cai Xiufen gently stroked her precious daughter’s hair, her face beaming with a wide smile. "Such a sweet-talking girl you are."

Kang Li replied, "I’m simply speaking the truth—your daughter isn’t flattering you just to please you old folks."

Her eyes then drifted toward Captain Kang. "Naturally, I have only one dad too, but with Mr. Jiang, I’ll just call him Dad, or else he’ll stare at me daily with those pitiful, grudging eyes, as if I owe him a fortune. It makes me want to avoid him."

Before Captain Kang or Cai Xiufen could respond, Kang Li leaned forward as if sharing a secret and continued. "Dad, Mom, rest completely assured—a hundred times, a thousand times over. In Li Bao’s heart—" she gave her chest a light pat, "you’re the absolute most important, and I love you the very, very most!" While saying this, she even batted her eyelashes at them.

Watching Kang Li’s playful antics, Luo Yanqing couldn’t stop his lips from curving into a smile.

Both Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen erupted in laughter.

"You little rascal!"

Cai Xiufen lightly tapped her beloved daughter’s forehead. "With you saying it like that, from now on, change how you address him."

"We’ll see."

Kang Li didn’t commit immediately.

Cai Xiufen knitted her brows. "What’s with ‘we’ll see’? Your dad’s even willing to change the babies’ diapers himself for Bun and the others. That alone shows how deeply he loves you and those little ones from the bottom of his heart. Don’t keep him waiting too long. Today, when he brought up how you still haven’t called him that, he nearly shed tears."

"Is Mr. Jiang really that sensitive?"

Kang Li expressed doubt.

"Why would your mom deceive you? If you doubt it, just ask your dad and Yanqing." While speaking, Cai Xiufen turned her eyes to Captain Kang and Luo Yanqing. Kang Li glanced over and watched them nod in sequence.

After a moment of quiet, Kang Li responded steadily, "Okay, I understand."

Next, she shared what Old Lady Yu had requested in the letter, then fixed her eyes on Luo Yanqing. "When I return to China, I’ll assist the Yu Family in restoring the restaurant.

Furthermore, although Grandma Yu didn’t explicitly state in the letter that she wished for one of our children to bear the Yu surname, I sense from the hints that she deeply regrets the end of the Yu family line."

"I get what you’re saying." Luo Yanqing’s striking face showed no trace of hesitation. "Whatever surname the child takes, they come from you and me. They remain our children."

Captain Kang remarked, "Are you two truly set on this?"

Cai Xiufen fixed her gaze intently on Kang Li as well.

"Dad, Grandma Yu handed over everything she and her sisters left, including several restaurant deeds. The state is now restoring confiscated properties from the past to their rightful owners. Having accepted Grandma Yu’s entrustment, I can’t disappoint the elderly lady.

Moreover, my great-uncle sacrificed his life for the nation. If the Yu family simply vanished, I fear Grandma Yu and her siblings couldn’t rest easy in the afterlife."

Having heard Kang Li out, Captain Kang declared, "If neither you nor Yanqing objects, then your dad stands behind you."

Cai Xiufen added, "Opening this door means your dad and grandpa might approach you too, hoping one of the kids takes their surname."

"We’ll address it if they raise it." With that, Kang Li shifted topics. "Bun and the others still lack official names. Dad, Mom, share your suggestions too." She then turned to Luo Yanqing. "Have you come up with any?"

Right as Luo Yanqing opened his mouth to reply, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Jiang Boya’s call. "Lili."

"The door’s unlocked."

Kang Li called back.

Jiang Boya opened the door and entered. Spotting Luo Yanqing along with Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen present, he paused briefly before flashing a quick smile and offering greetings.

"How about naming Bun ‘Ming Ting’?" Luo Yanqing suggested.

Jiang Boya’s eyes sparkled. "You’re choosing formal names for Bun and the rest?"

"Mr. Jiang, you know that already."

Kang Li gave Jiang Boya a pointed look.

"Li Bao!"

Cai Xiufen shot a stern glance at her pampered daughter. "Is that any way to speak to your elder?"

"Understood."

Kang Li beamed a smile at her mother, then pivoted toward Jiang Boya. "I came off a little harsh earlier. Don’t hold it against me, Mr. Jiang."

"Not at all, Dad would never get upset with you."

Jiang Boya intentionally pulled that move, boldly dubbing himself Dad while talking to Kang Li directly in front of Captain Kang, Cai Xiufen, and Luo Yanqing.

"I haven’t accepted you as such yet."

Kang Li adopted a smug little expression, casting a frosty look at Jiang Boya before shifting her attention back to Luo Yanqing. "Ming Ting is a wonderful choice. Let’s go with it for Bun. Dad, Mom, your thoughts?"
