His face twisted in clear dissatisfaction, Luo Yanqing's phoenix eyes fixed on Kang Li, overflowing with grievance so thick it nearly became real.
“What’s so good about that Austin? He’s a man someone else threw away, and besides, how long have you even known him? You think he looks better than me…”
Before Luo Yanqing could complete his words, Kang Li cut him off: “Stop right there. First off, I never brought up Austin to you. Second, I didn’t claim Austin is better looking than you. Got it?”
“So, you’re saying I’m actually jealous?”
Luo Yanqing deflated instantly.
“What do you believe?”
Kang Li arched a brow.
At those words, Luo Yanqing let out a sigh and leaned back into his seat, as Kang Li proactively nestled into his arms, tweaking his sharp nose: “Why brood over nothing?”
“You’re simply too exceptional!”
Clutching Kang Li’s hand, Luo Yanqing morphed back into his dramatic self.
“Tell me, who taught you all this theatrics? Or better yet, where did you stash away my cool, distant, quiet Professor Luo?”
Using both hands to push up, Kang Li peered down at the man beneath her.
Suddenly, the next instant, he flipped her under him.
“Wife, trying to tempt me?”
Not giving Kang Li time to answer, Luo Yanqing dove right in.
“You… uh… rascal…”
Kang Li’s lovely eyes flew wide, slowly filling with a misty haze.
The next morning.
After stirring up trouble through the night, Luo Yanqing rose feeling invigorated, whereas Kang Li shot piercing glares at this sly big-tailed wolf, but she stayed focused on the key matter. To ease Cai Xiufen’s worries, she honored her word and headed to the hospital first thing for an exam, with Cai Xiufen and Luo Yanqing by her side.
The doctor’s checkup results matched exactly what Kang Li had stated before—perfectly healthy, without a single problem.
Cai Xiufen burst into joyful tears, her heart fully at ease, no more fretting over her darling daughter’s well-being.
“Mom, why the tears again? I’m in top shape now; you ought to rejoice!”
Kang Li fished a crisp white handkerchief from her bag, gently dabbing Cai Xiufen’s tears.
“I’m thrilled beyond words—there’s that phrase about happy tears, so don’t read into it!”
Grabbing the handkerchief to dry her face, Cai Xiufen shot Kang Li a playful side-eye.
“Mom used to be a women’s cadre; hear how refined her speech is.” Kang Li winked with her crescent moon eyes, sparkling with awe.
Cai Xiufen’s cheeks flushed: “You cheeky girl, teasing even your mom now—you’re begging for a swat.” With that, she lightly tapped Kang Li’s arm a couple times.
“Is that Mom tickling me? I knew Mom’s the greatest!”
Kang Li grinned brightly, her fox eyes bending into lovely crescents.
Tickled by her antics, Cai Xiufen couldn’t hold back her laughter: “Never met a livelier girl than you!”
“I prefer ‘vibrant.’”
Tilting her chin up, Kang Li struck a smug pose.
Luo Yanqing occupied the front passenger seat, catching Kang Li’s words and chuckling softly now and then.
Back at the manor, the clock approached 11:30 a.m.
Sticking to their routine meal time, post-lunch, Kang Li joined Luo Yanqing, Captain Kang, and Cai Xiufen for a garden stroll. Amid light conversation, Cai Xiufen noted how Big Brother Kang and Elder Sister-in-law Kang’s hotpot spot was booming.
Then, she recalled Elder Sister-in-law Kang’s phone chat from days prior and turned to Luo Yanqing: “Ruirui called a few days back; your sister-in-law chatted with me too. She said you roughed up next-door Comrade Wen—is that right?”
Those words hit Luo Yanqing like a freeze; moments later, his expression soured a bit as he nodded: “Yes, I did hit him, but he had it coming.”
“What went down?”
Kang Li eyed Luo Yanqing, curiosity lighting her gaze.
“…”
Can I skip answering?
Catching Luo Yanqing’s vibe, Kang Li shot him a warning look: “Try it.”
Picking up on Kang Li’s signal, plus Father-in-law and Mother-in-law’s stares, Luo Yanqing realized evasion was impossible. He recounted Su Man and Wen Siyuan’s fight that night, how they dragged Kang Li’s name through the mud, ending with a chilly glare: “His wife dared trash your name, so I had to get justice from him!”
“Why’s Comrade Wen’s wife acting like a rabid dog?!”
When Luo Yanqing revealed Su Man badmouthing Kang Li, Cai Xiufen’s face clouded over, already imagining ripping into Su Man if she’d been there that night.
