Chapter 1338: Chapter 1216:
"What, are you feeling embarrassed now?"
Jiang Boya smiled at Kang Li.
"You are still talking about it?!"
Kang Li glared.
Seeing this, Jiang Boya laughed out loud.
"If you keep laughing, I won’t chat with you here anymore."
Kang Li pretended to get up.
"Alright, alright, Daddy won’t laugh anymore."
Stopping Kang Li from leaving, Jiang Boya’s expression showed a hint of wistfulness. He said, "Not being able to watch you be born, to be with you as you grew up, that’s a lifelong regret for Daddy.
And when we first met, you were always so well-behaved and sensible. To be honest, Daddy felt very comforted, but at the same time, quite lost, feeling quite useless, unable to do anything for you. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Kang Li to speak, Jiang Boya gave the answer himself: "Because you are so outstanding, you don’t need Daddy’s help in any aspect, which makes it feel like there’s something between us. But today, that barrier is gone!"
Tears wetting the corners of his eyes, Jiang Boya’s face was still full of smiles: "Daddy is really happy now."
"You’re overthinking it."
Kang Li spoke: "Although the way I first came over here was my grandfather bringing me with those methods, and in my heart, it was because of my grandmother’s entrustment that I stayed by your side, chatting with you every day, telling you stories, reading to you. But ultimately, you are my biological father. I can’t possibly see you and not feel a single bit of emotion.
Not to mention that all the procedures for my enrollment in prestigious schools here were handled by you, and my living expenses, including food and transportation, have all been your concern...
Daddy, I can’t say you’re the most competent or the best father in the world, but you are my dad, and I recognize that from my heart. Hmm, besides, based on our interactions in recent years, in my heart,"
Pointing to the area of her heart, Kang Li smiled slightly: "You do count as a qualified father."
Jiang Boya was not unhappy at all. He said, "Seems like Daddy needs to keep working hard to strive to be the good father in your heart." Yes, he wasn’t a competent father, wasn’t a good father. Despite having such a reason, leaving a pregnant woman with his child to come abroad for many years.
"I didn’t say you’re not a good father."
Kang Li laughed and shook her head.
"Daddy understands what you mean." Seeing within twenty years, not fulfilling the responsibility of being a father, this is where he fails in his duty, and naturally can’t count as a good father in the child’s heart.
Jiang Boya’s heart was clear as a mirror. He had actually decided from the moment he woke up to use the latter half of his life to make up for the shortcomings to his daughter.
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about the past anymore." Kang Li waved her hand, getting up: "I’ll go back to my room and tidy up my luggage so nothing gets left behind when I leave."
"Go ahead."
Jiang Boya nodded, his gaze warm as he watched Kang Li go up to the second floor.
...
Back home.
The courtyard.
Deep into the night.
"Should we give Li Bao a call?"
Cai Xiufen tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she simply got up and sat on the bed with her cotton jacket wrapped around her. She looked at Captain Kang with a worried expression: "At the end of the year, I suspected Ruiri and the others might be hiding something from us.
But I asked each of them separately, and they all shook their heads at me. Now Vivi suddenly says her biological mother is still alive and that she wants to go live with her biological mother...
We can’t stop it, Yanqing is busy working and only tells us ’don’t worry,’ if Li Bao comes back and finds out, what can we do?"
With a long sigh, Captain Kang also sat up, picked up his cotton jacket and wrapped it around himself, rubbed his forehead, and spoke: "Li Bao will be back in two or three days, if you call over now, isn’t it just going to make Li Bao anxious?! If he rushes back hastily and something goes wrong, we’ll regret it too late."
"Yes, yes, you are Little Baby, what could possibly be your fault?" Kang Li smiled helplessly as she turned her gaze back to Song Xuan: "Every one of them is mischievous, there’s never a moment of ease."
Song Xuan’s eyebrows showed playful news: "Bun and the others are very good, just like Ruiri and them when they were young, both adorable and smart, they just make people like them."
"Stop praising them, or their tails will go up to the sky."
Although speaking in mock disdain, Kang Li’s fair and refined face was fully covered with smiles, and the affection in her beautiful eyes was undisguised.
"Sigh!" Guoguo sighed like a little adult, then raised her small childish voice: "Mama, what should your Little Baby say? You clearly love me, Bun, and Tangyuan very very much, yet you just have to be so contradictory, doesn’t your heart get tired?"
