Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1307:

From Xu Chunxia’s attitude, it’s clear she doesn’t care for honest people at all.

If Kang Li found out, she’d definitely say: Honest people thank you very much!

At the same time, Kang Li might even tease Xu Wei: Honest folks owe you something, so now you’re keeping tabs on them?

Research Institute.

"Take care of yourself, don’t make me worry."

After washing the bedsheets, quilt cover, and the clothes together, Kang Li checked the time. It was about right, so she helped Luo Yanqing tidy up the clothes in the closet and then said goodbye gently.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yanqing’s eyes were full of reluctance: "You’re leaving already?"

"There’s just ten minutes left before work starts. If you don’t get to the lab soon, you might be late!" Kang Li’s bright and gentle eyes sparkled with laughter as she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips: "Okay, be good. I’ll miss you!"

Luo Yanqing stared in a daze. When he came to, he wrapped his long arms around her, pulling her into his embrace: "I don’t want you to go."

"Be good, I’d love to stay with you too, but you have to work. I’m your family, so I shouldn’t drag you down." Kang Li patted his back and laughed: "You’ve got my photos anyway, if you miss me, just take them out and look."

"I’d much rather see you in front of me."

Luo Yanqing lowered his eyes, meeting Kang Li’s gaze. His eyes were exceptionally gentle.

Slowly, he kissed her lips.

The kiss lasted quite a while.

"I almost couldn’t breathe." When the kiss was over, Kang Li threw him a playful glare: "You’re such a rascal!"

Luo Yanqing curved his lips into a smile: "Yeah, it’s totally my fault, but I couldn’t help it. You’re just too sweet."

"Smooth talker."

Kang Li playfully glared at him again, then said: "Goodbye."

"I’ll walk you out."

Carrying Kang Li’s empty travel bag, Luo Yanqing held her hand as they walked out of the dormitory...

Downstairs.

"I’ll call you when I get back from my hometown."

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Kang Li glanced through the open car window, smiling at the man full of tenderness and reluctance, and heard him say: "I’ll be waiting for you at the institute."

Kang Li blinked and smiled: "Okay then." Looks like he wants her to visit him! Who knew her Mr. Luo could be so secretly clingy.

"Drive safe."

Luo Yanqing reminded her.

"Alright."

Kang Li nodded and waved: "I’m off!"

"Bye."

Luo Yanqing also waved, watching Kang Li’s car drive off before he slowly retracted his gaze.

...

Once the date to return home was set, Kang Li didn’t make any changes.

So on the day of departure, three black sedans and a matching medium-sized business van headed out of North City, around 9 a.m., calm and steady, keeping a constant speed.

Worth mentioning, one of the black cars was Old Master Xi’s personal vehicle, but he wasn’t riding in it this time. He and Jiang Hongfa were together in one.

The two chatted and laughed, recalling past stories.

Meanwhile, Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu were surely keeping Old Lady Xi company, seated in Old Master Xi’s car.

Also, to help look after Old Lady Xi, the family arranged to bring a caregiver along.

This time, Jiang Boya stayed behind in North City due to work.

In other words, he wasn’t able to join the trip to Kang Li’s hometown in Aoli Village.

Thinking about why he stayed, Jiang Boya felt a bit resentful, plotting to find a good excuse to hand the family business over to Kang Li so he could finally live freely.

...

Cai Xiufen: "Why are we driving slower this time?"

Kang Li: "If we go too fast, I worry you and Dad won’t feel well. Besides, Grandpa, Old Master Xi, and Old Lady Xi are all quite elderly, and Old Lady Xi isn’t in great health, so I figured as long as we get home safely, spending an extra couple of days on the road doesn’t matter."

Cai Xiufen nodded: "You’re right, getting home safely matters more than anything."

Looking ahead, Kang Li gripped the steering wheel and smiled: "Safety is more important than anything when you’re outside—both you and Dad have told me that a million times."

"And was there anything wrong with us reminding you?"

Cai Xiufen glanced at Kang Li.

"Of course not."

Kang Li smiled: "In my heart, whatever you and Dad say is right—it’s all for my own good."

"As long as you understand." Cai Xiufen looked at the sleeping Xiao Guoguo in her arms, then said: "Ruirui is starting senior year soon; you really need to make time to focus on his studies."

"Grandma, Mom is already so hardworking, she doesn’t need to worry about my schoolwork. Plus, the study plan my Mom made for me before was awesome, and I’ve been following it for more than half a year now. My grades have really improved."
