Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1188:

His slender, jade-like fingers gently caressed the photo. He traced her eyebrows and eyes, slowly placing his fingertip on her swollen abdomen, murmuring, "Li Bao, I’m sorry, you’ve worked so hard!"

After a while, he carefully set the photo aside and unfolded the letter, reading each word and line with care.

"...I know you must feel guilty, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so agitated and kept vomiting blood. Silly, how could I ever hold a grudge against you?

Besides, we’ve been married for quite some time now; don’t I understand you? If it weren’t for something really serious, how could you have brought up the idea of divorce?

Moreover, I’m a person of flesh and blood, not a cold-blooded creature. How could I not know your feelings for me? With this in mind, I thought of one possibility: you must have encountered something but didn’t want to drag me down, so you painfully suggested a divorce, hoping I could live my own life.

Big fool, we are one as husband and wife. Since I’m married to you, how could I leave you at your most vulnerable moment?! You are my husband, the love of my life. I care about you. No matter what happens to you, I would never leave you behind. Do you understand now? I don’t need your so-called consideration for my sake at all..."

Kang Li wrote Luo Yanqing a letter spanning five full pages. The vigorous yet elegant handwriting looked beautiful no matter how you looked at it.

"...I’m doing well over here. Old Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang have taken good care of me... At school, the professors and classmates are all exceptionally kind. Rest assured at work, I will take good care of myself and the baby inside me..."

In the letter, Kang Li shared many amusing anecdotes from her life and studies, casually mentioning Xu Chunxia and inquiring about Min Rui and Xiao Loh En’s wellbeing.

Of course, Kang Li knew Luo Yanqing was busy with work and probably not very aware of Min Rui’s situation. She was just asking, as she had specifically inquired about the kids’ status in letters to her own family and parents.

"...Alright, I’ve rambled on so much. Do you feel annoyed? But there’s no use even if you are! Haha~ I’m being capricious, aren’t I?"

Luo Yanqing’s gaze fell on the letter. Although he couldn’t see Kang Li, he could almost picture her playful expression while writing, thanks to every word on the paper, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"I like your capriciousness, Li Bao; I truly like you... Whether you’re being capricious or playful, I like every bit of it..."

Laboratory.

When Luo Yanqing walked into the laboratory with his long legs, He Wei happened to glance over and saw a faint smile on Luo Yanqing’s face, suggesting he was in a pretty good mood.

He nudged Wen Siyuan with his elbow and whispered, "Looks like the team leader is in a really great mood."

"Mind your own business."

Wen Siyuan replied expressionlessly.

Perhaps because the team members who had previously worked with the group were quite good, when Luo Yanqing returned to work after his extended leave, almost all the researchers who had followed him on projects returned to his project team.

And to be honest, everyone, especially Wen Siyuan, breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason?

It was nothing more than the conflict between Su Man and Kang Li.

Wen Siyuan feared Luo Yanqing would refuse to let him continue working on projects with him due to issues between women.

"Work hasn’t officially resumed yet; why don’t we go out and chat for a bit?"

He Wei suggested.

"No time."

Wen Siyuan was blunt.

"Can’t you be a little more interesting? I just wanted to say that our Group Leader Luo’s wife, Comrade Kang Li, is really impressive, going abroad to further her studies, just like our Group Leader Luo back then. How can someone be so capable?"

It’s not easy to study abroad these days.

The whole set of procedures is complicated, and the expenses of studying abroad aren’t small.

Even with scholarships, when you get abroad, to live comfortably, or even enjoy the experience, you definitely can’t rely just on the stipend; in other words, you have to pay out of your own pocket.

Well, then again, those who qualify to study abroad mostly go for the pursuit of knowledge. How could they focus on anything outside of studying?

Like whether daily life is comfortable...

"You have perfectly good eyes."

Wen Siyuan suddenly said.

"...Old Wen, what do you mean by that?"

He Wei was puzzled.

Wen Siyuan: "Figure it out yourself."

He Wei: "You don’t think I’m envious, do you?"

Upon hearing no response from Wen Siyuan, He Wei thought he guessed right and couldn’t help but mutter, "But I’m not; I just sincerely think Comrade Kang Li is amazing."

Indeed, we’re all the same human beings, all married women; how can Comrade Kang Li be so capable? In contrast, his own wife... she can’t even attend classes properly and always thinks about setting up a stall to make money. Is the allowance I give her every month not enough?

Wen Siyuan busied himself with work, a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

He only found out during a recent vacation that his wife, Su Man, was attending university classes haphazardly, prompting the school to call home. He just happened to take the call.

At that moment, he felt a surge of anger.

But his beloved wife wasn’t even home, leaving the kids entirely to the nanny’s care.

His thoughts drifted back, and Wen Siyuan inadvertently recalled another thing: when he was in a bad mood because of Su Man’s actions, he took the four children to his parents’.

He discovered an odd atmosphere at home, especially with his parents, who seemed like they wanted to talk but refrained. He asked if there was anything they wanted to say, but both shook their heads.

When he was preparing to take the kids back to the courtyard, his mother suddenly asked: You already have Yueyue and her two sisters, plus Pengpeng. If you want more children later, there’ll be chances, so don’t quarrel with Su Man over that issue.

That issue?

What issue could it be?

Wen Siyuan couldn’t figure it out.

What did they mean by having more chances to want children?

He already had four children, and although only one of them was a son, that was enough. He hadn’t considered having more, though if it happened, he’d naturally be happy.

But he felt there was something hidden in his mother’s words, something lurking underneath. It seemed like he needed to visit his parents again during the next vacation.

When holding something in mind, it’s easy to occasionally get distracted at work.

It’s not that Wen Siyuan was suspicious of anything, but Su Man’s recent behavior was unacceptable. She wasn’t learning from Comrade Kang Li to complete her education properly, but instead poured all her efforts into setting up a stall. On top of that, his son Pengpeng said, "Dad, mom isn’t home on weekends, and she doesn’t come back at night."

And his parent’s reluctance to speak up.

To put it bluntly, deep down, Wen Siyuan felt a bit suspicious about the situation.
