Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1009

Wen Yi’s voice is full of envy.

Wen Yue: "I know what you want to say, Little Yi. We need to understand Dad."

Wen Yi pouted: "I do understand."

"That woman goes to school, so Dad has to pick up and drop off Pengpeng at kindergarten every day. It’s hard for him to find the energy to pick us up. We shouldn’t be upset with Dad because of this."

After listening to her sister Wen Yue, Wen Yi was silent for a while and said, "I’m not."

"It’s best if you’re not. Otherwise, if Dad finds out, he might think we’re being childish."

After saying this, Wen Yue said no more.

After dinner, Kang Li checked Min Rui’s homework, signed it, watched as Min Rui and Brother Ming Han soaked their feet and went to bed. Kang Li then went to Ming Wei’s room and found the little girl lying in bed after soaking her feet. Her expression was gentle as she sat by the bedside and touched the little girl’s forehead: "Sleep now."

Ming Wei blinked and said with her childish voice: "I want to hear a story from Mom."

"Okay."

Kang Li’s eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. She nodded and began telling the story of Jingwei filling up the sea, but before she got halfway through, the little girl was already fast asleep.

Seeing this, Kang Li smiled, got up to pull down the lamp, and quietly left the room.

"Mom, are you lying down?"

Standing outside her mother’s door, Kang Li asked softly.

Cai Xiufen: "I’m lying down. Do you have something you want to say?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kang Li replied: "No."

Cai Xiufen: "Then hurry up and wash and go to sleep!"

Kang Li said "Oh" and went to sit on the bamboo bench near the heater.

"The water temperature is just right."

The slippers and towel were already placed, and Kang Li heard Luo Yanqing’s words, nodded, and thanked him.

"So polite?"

Luo Yanqing raised an eyebrow.

Kang Li tilted her head and asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Luo Yanqing shook his head but still said, "You never need to say thank you to me."

"Got it."

Kang Li replied.

After soaking her feet, as usual, Luo Yanqing poured out the foot bath water.

"You want to know what I’m hiding from Mom? Here, you’ll know after reading this letter." Sitting against the headboard, Kang Li handed Luo Yanqing the letter Old Man Xiao gave her.

Luo Yanqing took out the letter paper: "Small script in flower arrangement style!"

Kang Li’s expression was complicated; she softly said "hmm" before continuing: "The letter was transferred to me by Grandpa Xiao from Grandma Yu."

After hearing this, Luo Yanqing didn’t say anything further. He quietly looked through the contents of the letter.

Approximately two or three minutes later, he folded the letter paper back into the envelope, and before he could speak, Kang Li handed him a photo: "Look."

Luo Yanqing took the photo from her hand, and at a glance, his eyes revealed surprise: "This looks exactly like you."

Kang Li: "Yes, it looks like me, almost as if made from the same mold. But it’s precisely because of this resemblance that I can’t deny what Grandma Yu said in the letter. But... my parents have never mentioned it to me, and in my memory, I’ve never heard anyone else at home or in the village talk about it."

Luo Yanqing: "You don’t know how to bring this up to Mom?"

Kang Li: "Mm. I don’t want Mom to be sad, and I don’t want to create a rift with my family because of what Grandma Yu said in the letter."

Luo Yanqing: "If the matter is true, why didn’t Grandma Yu confirm it through Mom?"

"She said she didn’t want me to be affected; moreover... she could see that my parents and family treated me very well. The letter mentioned this, didn’t you see it?"

Kang Li looked at Luo Yanqing, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Perhaps I read too quickly and didn’t notice." Luo Yanqing casually explained.
