Chapter 1820: Chapter 1337: Luo Yanqing Subtly Flaunts His Son_3

Luo Yanqing called softly, "Xiao Li!"

Kang Li: "Mm?"

"...I miss you!"

After hesitating for a while, Luo Yanqing spoke softly.

Kang Li curved her lips into a smile. "Me too. Alright, hanging up now!"

"Bye!"

Luo Yanqing had pale skin and, at this moment, the smile in his dark eyes rippled outward. Even on his always expressionless, handsome face, there was a gentle, light smile.

Stuffing his phone back into his pocket, Luo Yanqing returned to the lab. "Let’s tidy up and call it a day."

...

Staff Cafeteria.

He Wei and Wen Siyuan walked over with their lunch trays and sat down at Luo Yanqing’s table.

"Leader, you seem to be in a good mood. Did something happy happen at home?"

This was He Wei’s voice. When Luo Yanqing took out his phone to answer a call, He Wei noticed the smile in Luo Yanqing’s eyes and guessed that it was Kang Li calling. Now, sitting at the same table having lunch together, he couldn’t help but ask in a roundabout way.

He thought maybe Kang Li had shared some good news on the phone.

"My eldest scored highest in the college entrance exam this year."

Luo Yanqing did his best to hide his smile, but his good mood was obvious.

"..."

He Wei and Wen Siyuan were both stunned. After a moment, He Wei came to his senses, his face bursting into a smile. He congratulated Luo Yanqing and then asked, "How many points did your Min Rui get?"

"Just eight points short of a perfect score."

Luo Yanqing replied softly.

"Congratulations!"

Wen Siyuan felt a pang of envy. Last year, his daughter Wen Yue took the college entrance exam and only scored a little above the cut-off for a standard university. The university she applied to was pretty average. He was a bit disappointed at the time, but could accept it—after all, he hadn’t really put much effort into his kids,

And before their divorce, Su Man cared even less about the kids. In that kind of family environment, Wen Yue getting into university—a bit better than a junior college—was totally her own achievement.

Given that, he had no reason to blame his daughter for not doing better; he actually felt Wen Yue was a hardworking kid.

But at this moment, he had to admit he was jealous. Their next-door neighbor, Luo Yanqing, worked even harder than he did, and didn’t invest much in his family either. But just because he married a good wife, all his kids turned out outstanding. Now the eldest had won the top spot in the college entrance exam—how could he not be envious? He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t.

He Wei asked, "Which university did your Min Rui apply to?"

Luo Yanqing: "North Foreign Studies."

He Wei looked surprised. "North City Foreign Languages University?"

Luo Yanqing nodded. "Mm."

"Why not apply to Shuimu University? That’s your and Comrade Kang’s alma mater!"

He Wei was curious, "What was Min Rui thinking? Didn’t he discuss his choice with you parents before finalizing it?"

Luo Yanqing: "Our eldest wants to be a diplomat. Both his mom and I fully support him!"

"Ambitious!"

He Wei said enviously, "My eldest took the exam two years ago, and only got into an ordinary university."

"Even getting into college means the kid worked really hard."

Luo Yanqing’s tone was calm; at this point, he’d returned to his usual self.

He Wei: "Your Min Rui isn’t just North City’s top scorer, right?"

Luo Yanqing: "Mm."

"You were the national college entrance exam top scorer back in the day, and so was Comrade Kang. Now your eldest is, too. Your whole family is seriously enviable!"

He Wei praised.

"It’s all the kid’s own hard work."

Luo Yanqing said, lowering his head to continue eating. Seeing this, He Wei didn’t say anything more.

As for Min Rui’s college entrance exam results, Father Xiao called Xiao Jin’s workplace early this morning to ask how Min Rui did, but unfortunately Xiao Jin was at work and had no idea.

With no other option, Father Xiao nagged Xiao Jin over the phone for a while, blaming him for not caring enough about Min Rui.

After being scolded by his father, Xiao Jin felt wronged.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care—it was that he wasn’t in a position to care too much, or to go over and ask Min Rui about his score directly.

And the Kang Family hadn’t shown up at the compound much at all this past year. Even if he went to their house today to ask, it was unlikely he’d see anyone—he wouldn’t even get through the gate.

Even so, justified or not, as Min Rui’s biological father, Xiao Jin really wanted to know how his son did. Unfortunately, he didn’t have Kang Li’s phone number, so he had to ask Wu Yue for help.

After all, they were colleagues, and Wu Yue was friends with Kang Li—surely they kept in touch regularly.

With that in mind, Xiao Jin left work a few minutes early at lunchtime and went to Wu Yue’s office.

"Ah? I don’t know. Wait a moment, I’ll call her and ask."

Wu Yue was a little surprised by Xiao Jin’s request and didn’t quite understand, but without thinking too much about it, she picked up her desk phone and dialed Kang Li’s cell.

Soon, Kang Li answered.

Wu Yue: "Li Bao, it’s me."

Kang Li: "I know—I’d recognize your voice anywhere. So? What made you suddenly think of calling me?"

"Ruirui took the college entrance exam this year, right?"

"Yeah."

"How did the kid do?"

"Not bad."

"Can’t you tell me in detail?"

"Eight points short of a perfect score. He’s the national top scorer."

"That’s amazing! Come on, tell me honestly: how did you manage to raise such an outstanding kid? Not only were you the national top scorer yourself, now you’ve raised your son to be one, too. Are you trying to make me jealous or what?"
