Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1738: Chapter 1318: You Want to Say It Wasn’t Intentional, Right?

Feng Lu flushed red upon hearing this, embarrassed to her ears. After a moment, she said, "I was young back then, and it wasn’t really intentional. You should know, when people are young, anyone can make mistakes. As for me... It just so happened that my mistake was in romantic matters. Now after all these years, I already know what I did was wrong. Also, I believe with Luo Yanqing’s character, he wouldn’t keep holding on to that slip."

"Lady Feng, you’re being a bit too full of yourself!"

Kang Li’s bright, clear eyes were penetrating. She stared directly into Feng Lu’s gaze, as if able to see through to the depths of her heart. With such a look upon her, Feng Lu felt a tightening inside, then she heard Kang Li say:

"There’s something you might not know. Let me tell you now: A few years ago, you met my partner at a famous university in Hu City. When you greeted him, he had no idea who you even were.

It’s clear that you never mattered to him at all. Since that’s the case, why would he ever care what you did?"

"You think I’d believe what you’re saying?"

Feng Lu felt her face growing hotter. She understood Kang Li’s meaning; it was telling her that she never cared about Luo Yanqing, never saw him as her husband, and Luo Yanqing thought the same—she wasn’t his wife in his heart, so obviously he never cared about her either.

Although this sounded reasonable—after all, feelings go both ways. If she didn’t invest herself, what right did she have to expect him to invest?

But the thought still made her deeply uncomfortable.

Thinking thus, Feng Lu couldn’t help arguing back, raising the issue of Luo Yanqing raising Min Rui and her siblings: "If Luo Yanqing really didn’t care about me, how could he willingly raise Luo Mingrui and the others?"

At that, Kang Li laughed: "Does my partner need a reason to raise his own children?"

Feng Lu: "Luo Mingrui and the others aren’t his!"

"My partner believes they are, so they are. Before he knew about Ruirui and the others’ background, he raised them as his own children; and after learning the truth, do you think he cares much about so-called blood ties?

The three kids grew up beside him, started calling him Dad as soon as they could talk. Setting aside the bonds of blood, my partner values family, values all those years of affection built living together with the children."

After a slight pause, Kang Li ignored the change in Feng Lu’s expression, continuing: "Ruirui and the others, too—after finding out the truth about their background, their feelings for my partner haven’t changed at all."

Feng Lu was momentarily stunned by Kang Li’s words, then her eyes grew wide: "Luo Mingrui and the others all know?"

"That’s all thanks to you."

Kang Li’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "Clearly you, as their mother, made mistakes, gave the kids a background others look down on, yet you have no sense of guilt whatsoever. You don’t know how to be a mother, a mother who actually considers her children, and you just had to expose their background, causing one wave of trouble after another."

"I..."

For once, a trace of shame showed on Feng Lu’s face.

"You want to say you didn’t mean to, right?"

Kang Li scoffed lightly, saying, "You married Luo Yanqing and made him a father by surprise, then had an affair within your marriage, making him a father by surprise again. You say it wasn’t intentional. Now I bring up you revealing Ruirui and the others’ background, and you also want to insist it wasn’t intentional. Lady Feng, you really are very selfish—will you admit that?"

"People look out for themselves, or heaven and earth will destroy them. Haven’t you heard that saying?"

Feng Lu’s expression returned to normal: "I did treat Luo Yanqing as a substitute, it’s true I never cared about him, never saw myself as his wife. But he could’ve chosen not to marry me, yet the fact is he did, so whatever I’ve done, he naturally has to put up with it.

As for you claiming I exposed Luo Mingrui and the others’ background, that’s really unjust. I never made it public that they weren’t Luo Yanqing’s kids, I just mentioned it to a few members of the Han Family and the Xiao Family.

But my original intention was for their own good. Who could’ve guessed that my stepdaughter Han Qian, after noticing Luo Minghan looked like her father, would start suspecting Luo Minghan was the child of me and my current husband. Then she kept bringing up the background of Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei at school, which ended up negatively affecting them and their siblings."

"For their own good? In what way good?"

Kang Li fixed her gaze on Feng Lu: "Don’t use any more lofty excuses—you were entirely acting for your own interests."
