Chapter 1299: Chapter 1207:
Cai Xiufen immediately denied: "I didn’t say anything."
Captain Kang: "You didn’t say it outright, but you were thinking it, otherwise you wouldn’t have said what you did before."
"How come you just don’t believe me?" Cai Xiufen was a bit anxious. She kicked Captain Kang’s calf in the bed and said, "If you keep wrongly accusing me, be careful, I’ll never let it go."
Captain Kang didn’t take Cai Xiufen’s threat to heart. He said, "You’re afraid our daughter despises poverty and loves wealth, slowly drifting apart from us. But have you ever thought about it? Does our Li Bao lack money?
Back when she was in the country, even if she didn’t really work much, do you know how much she received in manuscript fees each month? Also, every time Li Bao participated in a competition and won a gold medal, the country gave that to Kang Li, have you forgotten?
Aside from all that, not long after we arrived here, Li Bao told us she had made various investments, and some of them have already yielded returns. So you can see, money isn’t really a big deal for Li Bao."
"Put away that bad temper of yours. I admit, I was overthinking, but I’m genuinely afraid of losing our Li Bao."
Cai Xiufen spoke her mind.
"Rest assured. Li Bao isn’t that shallow. She acknowledged her relationship with the Jiang Brothers on one hand because she couldn’t deny the father-daughter relationship, and on the other, the main reason should be related to Aunt Yu. Simply put, Li Bao didn’t want to disappoint Aunt Yu."
Captain Kang said this, reclosing his eyes: "Sleep, Li Bao’s recognition of her biological father won’t affect the bond between us and Li Bao in any way."
"Got it, got it, it’s my fault for overthinking, causing a lecture."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Cai Xiufen pinched Captain Kang’s waist spontaneously: "Don’t assume you’re the only smart one, my brain isn’t that far off either."
"You stubborn wife!"
The pain on his waist made Captain Kang wince in pain, and he gritted his teeth: "Can’t you go easy?"
"Since I’ve already acted, why should I hold back?"
Cai Xiufen snorted coldly, turned over, and lay back-to-back with Captain Kang: "Sleep, no more nagging."
"You women are really unreasonable; clearly, you’re in the wrong, but now it’s somehow my fault."
Shifting his body, Captain Kang moved slightly away from Cai Xiufen.
"If you’re so capable, you can sleep on the floor!"
Noticing Captain Kang’s movements, Cai Xiufen grumbled irritably.
"I’m too lazy to argue with you."
With that, Captain Kang quickly started snoring.
"Playing dumb again!"
Cai Xiufen kicked Captain Kang’s calf again under the covers, trying to counter the tone Captain Kang brought her, but, this time, Captain Kang truly didn’t react.
...
Postpartum recovery is uncomfortable, even in the warm spring weather. Although next to the mild outdoors sun, Kang Li was told by Cai Xiufen not to do this or that; apart from eating, drinking, feeding the child, and a bit of indoor exercise, all her time was spent resting in bed.
To Kang Li, it felt akin to torture.
She wanted to read, go out, and do everything else she desired, but she couldn’t ignore her mom’s words; otherwise, her dear mom would definitely give her an earful.
Luckily, Luo Yanqing would occasionally chat with her, alleviating some of her pent-up frustration.
The days passed by like this until tomorrow, when the Bun triplets would be a full month old. Kang Li was delighted, thinking she could finally finish her recovery, but then Cai Xiufen mentioned she gave birth to triplets, and at least a two-month recovery was needed.
Undoubtedly, Kang Li objected.
"I won’t do it!" And so, Kang Li voiced her opposition, with firm determination: "Mom, look at me, my physique now compared to before having the Bun triplets, is there any difference?"
Not waiting for Cai Xiufen to respond, Kang Li answered herself: "No, I don’t look at all like I’ve had kids, besides, overseas women don’t even have postpartum confinement, and I’ve followed your words for a full month!"
Cai Xiufen frowned: "Who am I doing this for?"
"For me, for me, I know, but there’s really no need."
Wearing comfy home clothes, Kang Li cozied up to Cai Xiufen, acting spoiled: "Mom, my body is in perfect condition now, look at my complexion. If you’re still worried, we could go to the hospital for a checkup and hear what the doctors say."
Perhaps due to the effects of the body strengthening pill, Kang Li’s body recovered quickly over this month, as she said. Currently, she looks exactly like she did before having the Bun triplets—with terrific visible energy, she doesn’t appear at all like a mother about to complete her postpartum recovery.
