Chapter 1529: Chapter 1264:
Luo Yanqing: "Maybe they know each other."
Kang Li: "Did they say how long they would be locked inside?"
Luo Yanqing shook his head.
Kang Li: "So what is their attitude towards the three children?"
"It didn’t matter before, and it won’t matter now or in the future."
Luo Yanqing spoke without much emotion. Upon hearing this, Kang Li thought for a moment, then said, "So Ruirui and the others don’t need to acknowledge the Feng family as relatives?"
"Mm."
Luo Yanqing nodded.
"You..."
Luo Yanqing replied without hesitation: "No."
Kang Li: "Why not?"
"There is no affection between that woman and me, and during the marriage of more than three years, we barely met."
Luo Yanqing’s expression was very calm. Hearing him say this, Kang Li asked again: "You’re a grown man, but the three kids around you aren’t yours, don’t you..."
"It’s just living together, and you’ve been the one raising Luo Mingrui and the others. Aside from giving my salary to the family, I haven’t done much for them. And the three children were taught well by you; they’ve been in my name since birth. Whether they’re biological or not doesn’t really make a difference."
At this point, Luo Yanqing fell silent for a while. He focused on Kang Li: "The most important thing is, I have you!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Li couldn’t help but blush: "I’m asking about you, why bring me into it?"
"I’m talking about myself."
Luo Yanqing looked innocent. After receiving a playful glare from Kang Li, he cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "If you must know what I think, then I won’t hide it from you—I worry you’ll make fun of me."
"Did you hesitate to tell me because you were afraid I’d laugh at you?"
Kang Li’s beautiful eyes widened.
"Mm." Luo Yanqing nodded lightly: "For a normal man, being repeatedly tricked by a woman like a fool is particularly damaging to male dignity."
"Aren’t you a normal man then?"
At this point, Kang Li deliberately misconstrued his words.
"Xiao Li, you understand what I mean."
Luo Yanqing looked helpless. He said: "My marriage with that woman was arranged by the leadership, and there’s no affection involved. Besides, even though Luo Mingrui and the others aren’t related to me by blood,
they’re all good kids, and I’ve seen that for myself. Moreover, the children respect me as their father and see me as their biological father. I really don’t need to dwell on the word ’bloodline.’
From another perspective, the fact that Luo Mingrui and his siblings aren’t related to me by blood proves that nothing substantial happened between that woman and me."
After hearing what Luo Yanqing said, Kang Li knew exactly what he meant, but she pretended not to understand: "You seem quite happy about this?"
"I am indeed happy."
Luo Yanqing didn’t feel embarrassed at all: "Except for those two times I woke up early and saw her lying on the same bed with me, I never touched her. Obviously, she didn’t want me to touch her either."
"I remember you saying once that when she looked at you, it felt like she was looking through you at someone else. Do you still recall that?"
Kang Li suddenly brought this up.
Luo Yanqing: "Mm, I mentioned that to you."
"Why don’t you think about it again? You might come up with something, and it would be best to mentally go through everyone we know, especially the young male comrades."
Kang Li reminded him.
After a while, Luo Yanqing’s eyes reflected confusion.
Kang Li continued to remind him: "Do you know where Ruirui’s biological mother went after faking her death?"
"I don’t believe it either."
Kang Li agreed, then said: "So when she told you that Hanhan and Vivi aren’t your children, she wasn’t lying. The reason she wants to take Hanhan and the others back must be linked to her own interests."
Luo Yanqing said nothing, which counted as agreement.
"Why didn’t you agree?"
Alright, Kang Li knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it directly from him.
"The kids are great. Although they’re not related to me by blood, they’ve been under my name since birth, calling me ’Dad’ for over ten years. I can’t just push them away over so-called bloodline issues, especially pushing them towards such a birth mother."
Luo Yanqing released Kang Li, and their eyes met. He spoke with calm composure: "The two people who came to see me today, one is that woman’s father, and the other is her elder brother. They told me that Luo Mingrui was conceived before that woman and I got married, and Luo Mingrui’s biological father’s surname is Xiao..."
Kang Li: "It’s Xiao Jin, Comrade Shen’s husband."
"You..." How did you know?
Seemingly noticing Luo Yanqing’s thoughts, Kang Li said: "Ruirui and Comrade Xiao Jin share a six or seven-tenths resemblance. Wu Yue once mentioned to me that Ruirui looks like Comrade Xiao. That was when Ruirui was about six years old. I just smiled and didn’t think much of it."
Luo Yanqing: "Because there are many people in this world who resemble each other?"
Kang Li replied, "Yes," adding, "It’s not unusual for unrelated people to look like siblings."
"What you said makes sense."
Luo Yanqing nodded in agreement, then continued: "That woman went to the Xiao family demanding twenty thousand yuan as compensation after exposing Luo Mingrui’s true parentage to Xiao’s father and Xiao himself. Otherwise, she threatened to reveal Luo Mingrui’s lineage."
Kang Li suddenly brought this up.
Luo Yanqing: "Mm, I mentioned that to you."
"Why don’t you think about it again? You might come up with something, and it would be best to mentally go through everyone we know, especially the young male comrades."
Kang Li reminded him.
After a while, Luo Yanqing’s eyes reflected confusion.
Kang Li continued to remind him: "Do you know where Ruirui’s biological mother went after faking her death?"
"From the moment she signed the papers, her matters had nothing to do with me, and I wouldn’t pay attention."
Regarding irrelevant people, he didn’t even have the time to bother with them, let alone the interest.
Kang Li: "Xiao Shen, Xiao En’s biological father, Comrade Xiao, do you recall now?"
"What’s going on with him?"
Luo Yanqing appeared puzzled, with a hint of hesitation: "Are you suggesting there might be a connection between that woman and Comrade Xiao?"
"Oh dear, you really have your mind entirely on work and don’t pay attention to anything else." Kang Li was quite helpless; she shook her head: "Put it this way, Ruirui’s biological mother likely has feelings for Comrade Xiao. When she faked her death and left North City, she actually went to Hu City to chase after Comrade Xiao."
Luo Yanqing: "How do you know?"
"I guessed. Remember when we went to Hu City to visit Xiao En? We encountered a man and a woman on the university campus where Aunt works. The woman seemed to make a cryptic remark to you, and later we heard at Aunt’s place that Comrade Xiao’s reputation was nearly ruined by a woman named ’Mei Lu’..."
Kang Li didn’t continue, as she saw that Luo Yanqing remembered what she was talking about.
"Oh dear, you really have your mind entirely on work and don’t pay attention to anything else." Kang Li was quite helpless; she shook her head: "Put it this way, Ruirui’s biological mother likely has feelings for Comrade Xiao. When she faked her death and left North City, she actually went to Hu City to chase after Comrade Xiao." It’s her...judging by the voice, it should be her."
