Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1299 - 1207:

Cai Xiufen swiftly refuted: "I didn’t say anything."

Captain Kang replied: "You didn’t voice it directly, but it was on your mind, or else why would you mention what you did earlier?"

"Why won’t you trust me?" Cai Xiufen grew somewhat frantic. She nudged Captain Kang’s calf with her foot from the bed and warned, "If you keep falsely blaming me, watch out—I won’t drop it easily."

Captain Kang brushed off Cai Xiufen’s warning without a care. He remarked, "You worry our daughter might scorn the poor and chase the rich, gradually growing distant from us. But consider this: does our Li Bao ever lack funds?

Even back in the countryside, without much actual labor, do you recall the hefty manuscript fees she earned monthly? Plus, whenever Li Bao competed and snagged a gold medal, the nation rewarded Kang Li—have you forgotten that?

Beyond those, soon after we settled here, Li Bao shared that she’d invested in several ventures, and some were already paying off. Clearly, money poses no issue at all for Li Bao."

"Curb that foul mood of yours. Yes, I overthought it, but I truly fear losing our Li Bao."

Cai Xiufen finally opened up.

"Don’t worry. Li Bao isn’t so superficial. She accepted ties with the Jiang Brothers partly because she couldn’t reject the blood father-daughter bond, but chiefly, it ties to Aunt Yu. In short, Li Bao simply didn’t wish to let Aunt Yu down."

Captain Kang shared this thought before shutting his eyes again: "Now sleep. Li Bao recognizing her birth father changes nothing about our connection with her."

"Fine, fine, I overthought and earned myself a scolding."

A touch sheepish, Cai Xiufen impulsively pinched Captain Kang’s side: "Don’t think you’re the sole clever one—my wits aren’t far behind."

"You obstinate woman!"

The pinch at his waist drew a sharp wince from Captain Kang, who clenched his teeth: "Could you ease up a bit?"

"Once I’ve pinched, why hold back?"

Cai Xiufen huffed coldly, rolled away, and lay facing opposite Captain Kang: "Sleep now—no more chatter."

"Women like you make no sense; you’re obviously mistaken, yet it ends up as my fault."

Captain Kang adjusted his position, inching a little farther from Cai Xiufen.

"If you’re so tough, try the floor!"

Cai Xiufen snapped irritably, spotting his shift.

"I’m done bickering with you."

Captain Kang promptly began to snore.

"Faking sleep once more!"

Under the blankets, Cai Xiufen prodded Captain Kang’s calf again to match his earlier jab, yet this time, he showed no response at all.

…

Postpartum confinement feels miserable, even amid balmy spring warmth. Though basking near the gentle outdoor sun, Kang Li faced Cai Xiufen’s endless restrictions on this and that; beyond meals, hydration, nursing the baby, and light indoor activity, she spent every moment bedridden.

To Kang Li, it was pure agony.

She yearned to read, venture outside, and pursue all her whims, yet she couldn’t brush off her mother’s advice—or face a torrent of nagging from dear Mom.

Fortunately, Luo Yanqing’s occasional talks eased her bottled-up irritation.

Days dragged on this way until the next day, marking the Bun triplets’ full month. Kang Li brimmed with joy, believing her confinement ended, only for Cai Xiufen to insist that birthing triplets demanded at least two months’ recovery.

Kang Li rejected it outright.

"I refuse!" She declared her stance resolutely: "Mom, check me out—how does my figure now stack up against pre-Bun triplets?"

Without pausing for Cai Xiufen’s reply, Kang Li continued: "Not a bit different. I don’t look remotely like a new mom, and overseas women skip confinement entirely. I’ve already followed your rules for a whole month!"

Cai Xiufen scowled: "Who’s this all for?"

"For me, for me, I get it, but it’s truly unnecessary."

In cozy loungewear, Kang Li snuggled against Cai Xiufen, playing cute: "Mom, I’m in top shape now—see my glow. If you’re still concerned, let’s visit the hospital for a checkup and get the doctors’ verdict."

Thanks to the body strengthening pill’s influence, Kang Li’s recovery sped through the month, just as she claimed. She appeared unchanged from before the Bun triplets’ birth—radiant and vibrant, showing no signs of a woman wrapping up postpartum rest.
