Cai Xiufen voiced ongoing concerns about Kang Li's health after childbirth, but Kang Li reassured her with playful banter and suggested a full checkup. Servants delivered multiple gift boxes containing elegant dresses, suits, and outfits prepared by Mr. Jiang for the family ahead of tomorrow's event. Kang Li urged her mother to try on a regal cheongsam, noting the included shoes, jewelry, and anticipated styling team.

The measurements for Cai Xiufen's cheongsam, as well as the outfits and footwear for Captain Kang and Luo Yanqing, were all supplied by Kang Li to Jiang Boya.

Naturally, Jiang Boya had requested this information from Kang Li, which prompted Kang Li's stepmother to get involved.

“What can I even say about you? Now that you've changed how you call him, stop referring to your dad as Mr. Jiang all the time.”

Cai Xiufen gently tapped Kang Li's nose, shaking her head in helpless amusement.

Kang Li saw nothing wrong with occasionally addressing Jiang Boya as Mr. Jiang. “No outsiders are present,” she remarked.

“Mr. Jiang is your real father. If others overhear...”

“Mom, enough already! I admit I was wrong, alright?! I swear it won't happen again.”

“Li Bao, I just don't want anyone claiming you have poor manners.”

“Whoever says that gets a huge slap from me!”

Kang Li widened her stunning eyes, tilted her chin up a bit, and declared proudly: “My parents brought me up perfectly. Anyone calling me ill-mannered is the real one lacking it!”

Cai Xiufen responded: “Enough playing around, let's pack up these boxes.”

Kang Li shot back: “Just let them sit there; they're not occupying much room.”

The following morning, the styling crew summoned by Jiang Boya showed up at the estate. After a few hours of work, everyone—from Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, to Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, plus the three little Buns—emerged completely revamped from head to toe.

Initially, Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen seemed somewhat stiff, but Kang Li whispered something to them, and they instantly loosened up.

As the hours passed, opulent vehicles began arriving at the Jiang family estate, and by around six in the evening, a magnificent banquet kicked off on the lavishly adorned, expansive lawn.

This day marked not just the full-month celebration for the three little Buns, but also Jiang Hongfa's official unveiling of Kang Li as his granddaughter to everyone.

When Jiang Boya escorted Kang Li onto the stage, Austin, from his table, fixed his eyes on her, viewing her as a naturally glowing star that captivated all attention.

A wave of regret washed over Austin, with “met too late” repeatedly resounding in his thoughts.

If only... if he'd encountered her years sooner, prior to her marriage, he would've pulled out all stops to pursue her and claim her as his bride.

Yet the world allows no “ifs.”

His heart's goddess belonged to another man now, leaving him only the option of cherishing her in his memories.

He let out a quiet sigh, his eyes momentarily losing their spark.

By chance, Kang Li noticed Austin's stare and recalled his earlier wish to serve as godfather to her child before birth. Though she hadn't agreed outright, she'd promised to consult Luo Yanqing.

Thinking of this, Kang Li, with Luo Yanqing's support, descended the stage. She murmured a few words to him, then added, “If you're against it, I'll apologize when he brings it up.”

“I'm fine with it.” Luo Yanqing glanced at Austin's table and continued, “They're divorced ages ago, and Mr. Davis is your mentor's son plus a friend you find reliable. For your mentor's sake alone, no point in creating enemies. Anyway, it's merely recognizing a godparent— no big deal.”

Kang Li thought for a second and decided, “Then have Guoguo take Austin as her godfather.”

Luo Yanqing: “Your call.”

During the banquet's midpoint, Austin came over to Kang Li holding a wine glass.

He offered congratulations to Kang Li first, then heard her present Luo Yanqing, followed by his own introduction to Luo Yanqing. After some light conversation, Austin finally brought up his hope to be little Guoguo's godfather.

Austin straightforwardly voiced his wish to become Guoguo's godfather, expressing a desire for a goddaughter.

Kang Li agreed without hesitation.

Austin beamed with joy.

“Lo, Kang Li's an incredible woman—you're lucky to have her as your wife!” Once Kang Li stepped away, Austin toasted Luo Yanqing and flashed a thumbs-up.

Luo Yanqing nodded: “My wife truly stands out. Wedded to her is my great fortune.”

“Treat my goddess right, or I'll whisk her away!” Austin warned seriously, yet Luo Yanqing stayed composed: “That chance won't come your way.”

No one could steal his beloved!

“We'll see about that.”

Austin toasted Luo Yanqing again.

The pair talked for five or six minutes until a business associate summoned Austin.

A bit after nine-thirty that evening, the banquet wrapped up.

Back in her bedroom, Kang Li flopped onto the bed staring at the ceiling: “Socializing is something I absolutely hate!” Prior to this world, as a corporate powerhouse or the Kang Family's young miss, she'd endured countless events and elite parties.

“I don’t mind.” Luo Yanqing looked over at Austin’s seat and remarked: “They’ve long divorced, and Mr. Davis serves as both your mentor’s son and a friend you view as reliable. Simply for your mentor’s sake, there’s no reason to create enemies. Moreover, it’s only recognizing a godparent, hardly a big deal.”

Kang Li thought for a moment and replied: “Then let Guoguo recognize Austin as the godfather.”

Luo Yanqing: “You make the decision.”

Halfway through the banquet, Austin walked up to Kang Li holding a wineglass.

He started by congratulating Kang Li, then heard her introduce Luo Yanqing, and afterward presented himself to Luo Yanqing. Following a short conversation, Austin couldn’t hold back from inquiring about being little Guoguo’s godfather.

Austin openly stated his wish to become Guoguo’s godfather, noting that he desired a goddaughter.

Kang Li nodded readily.

Austin beamed with joy.

“Lo, Kang Li is an outstanding lady, you’re remarkable to have married her as your partner!” While Kang Li stepped away, Austin clinked glasses with Luo Yanqing and flashed a thumbs-up.

Luo Yanqing nodded: “My wife is indeed very exceptional. Marrying her is my privilege.”

“You had better treat my goddess well, or I’ll steal her away from you!” Austin declared seriously, yet Luo Yanqing’s face stayed composed: “You won’t have that opportunity.”

No one can take his girl away!

“Well, let’s wait and see.”

Austin clinked glasses with Luo Yanqing again.

The pair talked for five or six minutes until a business partner summoned Austin away.

Just after nine-thirty in the evening, the banquet ended.

Returning to her bedroom, Kang Li collapsed onto the bed lying on her back: “I don’t like socializing at all!” Prior to entering this world, whether leading a major corporation or as the Kang Family’s young miss, she had joined countless social occasions and elite gatherings.
