Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1394 - 1231: That’s Exactly How It Should Be (5)

Fearing his little darling might laugh too heartily, Luo Yanqing gently steadied her breathing. With a smile gracing his features, he advised, "Take your time, no need to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Kang Li's laughter began to subside. She nestled her head against his chest, murmuring softly, "Don't spoil me."

"Alright, I won't spoil you. I'll heed your words."

Luo Yanqing's voice was both clear and tender.

"You cherish me, and I cherish you too. We are husband and wife, equals. If you indulge me merely to please me, I would feel intensely guilty!"

"No, I'm not indulging you, my foolish girl. Remember, whatever I do in your presence is simply because I desire it, for no other reason."

"You're such a big silly!"

"Indeed, I am the big silly, you are the little silly, and together we are a perfect match!"

His handsome, thin lips curved into a soft smile, Luo Yanqing's dark eyes sparkled with emotion. His arms tightened, a profound wish to meld the woman in his embrace into his very being so they could remain together eternally.

"Luo Yanqing."

"Hmm?"

"Don't concern yourself with matters at home."

"Understood."

"And do not worry about the children."

"Understood."

"I can protect our children; I will not permit them to be wronged or harmed."

"Yes, I know, my wife is truly the best!"

"You are speaking nonsense again."

"I am not."

"Very well, let us proceed as if you did not."

"I truly did not."

"Can I trust your word now?"

"Hmm."

Listening to the man's gentle affirmation, Kang Li lifted her gaze. She examined the man's finely sculpted jawline, her eyes then traveling up to his cool yet striking face. "Work is vital, but so is your health. I have no desire to face a divorce proposal from you, nor do I wish to become a widow prematurely."

Luo Yanqing: "I would never. My wish is to accompany you until our hair turns white and our teeth have long since fallen out."

"Very well, I shall hold you to that promise!"

Kang Li's bright, beautiful eyes shimmered with delight. Looking at her, Luo Yanqing felt an overwhelming wave of warmth and happiness wash over him.

After a brief pause, Luo Yanqing spoke again, "If, and I emphasize 'if', that woman approaches you, you need not show her any courtesy."

"Rest assured, I have always believed in reciprocity; if they wrong me, I shall wrong them in return! I am not a pushover to be manipulated or to be shown off against!"

Kang Li's tone was resolute. Hearing her speak with such conviction, Luo Yanqing exclaimed, "That's the spirit!"

The Han Family's secluded villa.

"Is what I just stated the truth?"

Feng Wei had taken a half-day leave from his work that afternoon specifically to confront Feng Lu, relaying the old man's accounts of his troublesome sister. Observing Feng Lu's rapidly shifting complexion at this moment, his own expression hardened.

"You need not respond; it appears the allegations are indeed true. During your marriage to Comrade Luo, you betrayed our family, betrayed Comrade Luo, and caused Comrade Luo to be cuckolded. Feng Lu, you possess a truly astonishing audacity!"

"Elder brother, please refrain from phrasing it so harshly."

Feng Lu's own countenance was far from pleasant. She retorted, "Betrayal or not, Luo Yanqing and I shared no genuine affection. He was perpetually engrossed in his work, and the instances of him returning home annually could be counted on a single hand, sometimes not even once in an entire year. Were you expecting me to subsist as a widow?"

"Are your words not exceedingly shameless?"

Feng Wei emitted an indignant laugh. "Marriage signifies responsibility, it signifies duty; what, in your view, is the purpose of marriage? A mere trifle for you to toy with at your whim?

Furthermore, it was you who actively sought this marriage with Comrade Luo, who relentlessly implored Father to facilitate your union with Comrade Luo. And now you claim that throughout those years of matrimony, no emotion existed between you and him. If that were the case, then why did you initially choose to marry Comrade Luo?"

"Was I not acting foolishly then?"

Feng Lu replied with visible impatience, "Regardless, events have transpired as they have. Luo Yanqing and I have long been strangers. Cease dredging up past grievances to distress me."

"Those two children belong to Han Bin, do they not?"

At this very moment, the two siblings found themselves within Han Bin's study. As for the other residents of the household, Han Bin was occupied with his work, Han Qian was attending school, and Aunt Li was engaged in laundry duties in the courtyard. Consequently, the conversation between Feng Wei and Feng Lu remained entirely private, with no risk of being overheard.

Sensing Feng Lu's prolonged silence, Feng Wei knew he had struck a crucial nerve. Gritting his teeth, he pointed accusingly at Feng Lu's nose and berated her, "You deplorable wretch!"

"Indeed, I am a wretch. What is it that my elder brother desires from me now?"

Tilting her chin upward, Feng Lu displayed not the slightest hint of remorse.

"From where do you get the nerve to appear before Comrade Luo and demand those two children? You never even raised them for a single day..." Feng Wei was about to continue when Feng Lu cut him off:"Alright, big brother, stop talking. I was blinded by greed before, intending to take the two children back. Now, there's no need for that; I won't be seeking those two unfortunate children anymore!"

"Don't fret, I've always believed in reciprocity; if others wrong me, I will wrong them back! I am not a pushover to be manipulated or someone others can flaunt their power over!"

Kang Li's voice was cool, and upon hearing her words, Luo Yanqing immediately declared,"Excellent, exactly like that!"

The Han Family's modest villa.

"Is what I just told you the truth?"

Feng Wei took a half-day off in the afternoon specifically to locate Feng Lu, aiming to convey the old man's sentiments regarding their troublesome sister. Seeing Feng Lu's countenance shift repeatedly at this moment, his own expression turned frigid:

"You needn't bother answering; it appears all of it is true. During your marriage to Comrade Luo, you betrayed the family, betrayed Comrade Luo, and cuckolded Comrade Luo. Feng Lu, you truly possess a remarkable audacity!"

"Big brother, please refrain from phrasing it so unpleasantly."

Feng Lu's own expression was far from pleasant. She countered,"Betrayal or not, there were no feelings between Luo Yanqing and me. He was perpetually engrossed in his work, and the instances of him returning home in a single year could be counted on one hand, sometimes not even once. Are you expecting me to live as a widow?"

"Aren't your words utterly shameless?"

Feng Wei let out an angry laugh:"Marriage entails responsibility, it is a duty; what, in your eyes, is marriage? A mere game for you to toy with at your whim?
