Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 998: Chapter 989

Kang Li blinked her beautiful, clear fox eyes and whispered, "Luo Yanqing is so jealous. If he hears Auntie mentioning other men to me and hears what I just said, he’ll definitely get upset with me later."

"..."

After a moment of surprise, Old Lady Li burst into laughter, "Why don’t I believe that?"

Kang Li’s eyes were cunning, "Then you must have been fooled by his appearance!" Hearing this, Old Lady Li immediately laughed out loud, "Aren’t you afraid that Little Luo will be angry if he hears you say that?"

Kang Li replied without hesitation, "It’s fine."

"Why? Is Little Luo afraid to lose his temper with you?" Old Lady Li teased.

"It’s not that he doesn’t dare, it’s that he won’t."

Kang Li’s fox-like eyes were full of amusement as she said, "Luo Yanqing has never even argued with me."

Old Lady Li said, "Little Luo is really good to you!"

"Uncle Loh is also very good to Auntie, I can see that!" Kang Li’s voice was sweet and soft, with a touch of playfulness. Looking at her, Old Lady Li felt a deep envy for Captain Kang’s old couple and said, "Your parents are very fortunate to have such a wonderful daughter like you."

Kang Li said, "It’s me who is fortunate to be their daughter."

Over here, Old Lady Li chatted merrily with Kang Li, while over there, Xiao Shen, the pride mentioned in front of Kang Li, was both agitated and angry.

"I told you not to show up in front of me again!"

"What you want to say is your freedom; whether or not I listen is mine. Now you should answer me, why didn’t you take me with you to North City for New Year?"

"Take you with me? What is our relationship that I have to take you?"

"I’m your fiancée!"

"If you’re sick, go see a doctor."

"I’m not sick!"

The woman stood opposite Xiao Shen, looking somewhat neurotic, she said, "I worked hard to prepare a feast for New Year’s Eve, yet you left me alone in Hu City while you went back to North City for New Year by yourself. Do you know how upset I was then?"

"No one stopped you from going to North City for New Year. Besides, it’s my own home I’m returning to, do I need to notify you?"

Xiao Shen’s brows were nearly knotted in frustration. He had originally planned to stay in Hu City for New Year like every other year, but his elder brother called and said their father had declared,

if he didn’t come home, he would no longer consider him a son. Helplessly, he had to rush back before New Year’s Eve, but what did that have to do with anyone else?

"Not taking me back is your fault!" The woman held back her heartache and suddenly asked, "Did you find it surprising to see me today?"

Xiao Shen remained silent.

The woman continued uninterrupted, "I told you, you can’t get rid of me. Now I’m also an employee at this university, and the house assigned to me is not far from yours."

Indeed, Xiao Shen had moved to Hu City after the New Year and was living in the faculty housing of the university where he was to work.

However, the apartment he was assigned was exactly thirty-five square meters. Though small, it was spacious enough for one person.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"

Having grown up as childhood sweethearts, although he didn’t like her, he always treated her like a sister. After all, the relationship between their families was evident, but because of this, he was always considerate when entangled with such a person.

Perhaps precisely because of this, she never gave up over the years, always hoping he would acknowledge their so-called engagement.
