Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1311 - 1210

A slight furrow creased Luo Yanqing's brow as he articulated, "Should they truly lose their minds over a few careless remarks, then that's simply how they'll be for life. If that's the case, you needn't expend any further effort on them."

"What are you implying?"

Kang Li shot him a glare. "There's a saying that goes, 'With a stepmother comes a stepfather.' Yet, as this stepmother, I've done nothing to wrong the children. Why is it that you, as their father, seem to be exhibiting tendencies of becoming a stepfather?"

"You're wrongly accusing me," Luo Yanqing's passionate gaze shifted to one of wounded pride. "I simply don't want you raising ungrateful brats." After a brief hesitation, he turned, settling back onto his side of the bed and drew Kang Li into his embrace. "Even their birth mothers," he continued, "don't dote on Luo Mingrui and the others as you do. Though I'm not home daily to witness it, observing Luo Mingrui and the others' development during my breaks at home clearly illustrates the sacrifices you've made for our family and for them. I'm well aware of the depth of your love for them. As long as they aren't heartless or completely oblivious, they won't be swayed by idle gossip."

Kang Li nestled her forehead against his chest, a warmth spreading through her heart. A gentle smile graced her lips. "However, Rui Rui and the others are still young, and they are intelligent. They've known since childhood that I am not their biological mother, so naturally, their personalities might be somewhat sensitive. If I hadn't given birth to Bun and the others, mere gossip wouldn't affect Rui Rui and the others in the slightest. But now, the situation has changed—there are individuals who cannot bear to see others happy and will undoubtedly resort to nasty stepmother comments to sow discord among our children, hoping to revel in the ensuing chaos. Even if, on the surface, Rui Rui and the others appear unaffected by such slander, internally, they might overthink things. They could worry, feel insecure, because the sudden possibility of losing their happiness after having it could make them anxious, easily distracting them from their studies."

A prolonged silence followed Kang Li's explanation.

"Very well," Luo Yanqing conceded. "Listen to me—when you return home, clearly convey my stance to Rui Rui and the others. Naturally, you should also express your own attitude towards the children. This way, they will feel secure, cherished, and will not falter in their studies or be swayed by others' opinions."

Kang Li's affection for Rui Rui and the others was genuine; there was no doubt about it. Even with her own Bun and the others now, in her heart, all the children were treated equally—they were all children of both her and Luo Yanqing. On a broader spectrum, even regarding Xiao Loh En, Kang Li saw no distinction between him and Rui Rui.

Children were little angels, brought into this world to be loved. Otherwise, as parents, why bring them into existence at all?

Of course, some children arrived under less predictable circumstances, but was that their fault?

"Why are you so wonderful?!"

Luo Yanqing let out a soft sigh as he planted a kiss on Kang Li's forehead.

"Am I truly wonderful?"

Kang Li tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with a smile as she inquired.

Luo Yanqing's eyes crinkled with amusement as he affirmed with a nod. "Hmm."

"Then you should thank yourself."

Kang Li's bright eyes gleamed with humor. Noticing the man's perplexed expression, she couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

"Thank myself?"

Luo Yanqing remained utterly bewildered.

Kang Li playfully teased, "Yes, you should thank yourself. Do you want to know why?"

Luo Yanqing tilted her chin and kissed her, his intent unmistakable. Before long, Kang Li managed to speak, "Because you treat me well!" The instantaneous smile that had graced Luo Yanqing's handsome face vanished when Kang Li continued, "But there is one more thing..."

"What is it?"

Before Kang Li could elaborate, Luo Yanqing prompted.

"Rui Rui and the others are such well-behaved children; I have no reason not to adore them. With this affection, naturally, I wish to give them the very best!" Kang Li's voice was soft and tinged with a smile. Upon hearing her words, Luo Yanqing tightened his embrace. "Luo Mingrui and the others are incredibly fortunate to have you as their mother. If they dare to be unfilial in the future, just watch how I reprimand them!"

Lightly pinching the soft flesh on the man's waist, Kang Li retorted, "I trust the children I've raised. They are undoubtedly good kids; there's no need for you to intervene and lecture them."

"I know, but I simply don't want you to suffer even the slightest bit of grievance," Luo Yanqing's calm yet magnetic voice conveyed an incredible gentleness.

"Silly, who could possibly make me suffer?"

As Kang Li spoke, she pressed her lips to his. In that moment, the man transitioned from passive to active. Soon, the room was enveloped in a cloud of romantic bliss...
