Chapter 1371 - 1224:
Chapter 1371: Chapter 1224:
Bun looked at Min Rui and said in a childish voice, "Big brother, did you hear that? In mom and dad’s hearts, we’re all still babies!"
Luo Yanqing: "..." He’s already a fifteen-year-old young man, really connected to babies?
Kang Li: "..." Well, her good son is still a minor, so calling him a baby isn’t really wrong.
Picking up the travel bag on the ground, Luo Yanqing held Kang Li’s hand, and the two walked into the living room.
Half an hour later.
"Luo Mingwei is not home?"
It’s been about thirty minutes since they entered, and Luo Yanqing still hasn’t seen Ming Wei’s presence, so he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Well, he vaguely knows where Ming Wei went, but he doesn’t want to accept that fact, as in Luo Yanqing’s view, no matter what, Ming Wei would never leave this home, the family who truly cares for and loves her.
"We’ll register in a bit."
Kang Li said this to Min Rui and Brother Ming Han, then she got up from the sofa, glanced lightly at Luo Yanqing, and said, "Go to your study, I have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Luo Yanqing’s heart tightened, but he still got up and followed.
"Close the door."
Kang Li said casually as soon as she entered the study.
Luo Yanqing complied.
"Will you tell me willingly, or do you want me to ask and you answer?" The two stood face to face in the center of the study, Kang Li looking at Luo Yanqing with a gaze as calm as a lake, without a ripple, yet this demeanor only made Luo Yanqing feel more uncertain.
Tightly pursing his lips, Luo Yanqing was silent for a while before asking, "About what?"
"Don’t play dumb with me."
Kang Li’s face was stern.
Luo Yanqing stepped forward and grabbed her hand, but unexpectedly, Kang Li withdrew her hand from his grasp: "Don’t try to bluff your way through." Seeing Luo Yanqing’s eyes show some grievance, Kang Li snorted, "I won’t be soft-hearted."
Luo Yanqing hesitated, "Do you really need to know?"
Kang Li raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"
Luo Yanqing hesitated, "I..."
Kang Li calmly said, "Actually, you don’t have to say it." Hearing this, Luo Yanqing knew that if he didn’t say anything, he could expect his girl to be cold with him!
"...I’ll speak."
Luo Yanqing’s demeanor returned to normal, and he began, "I told you before how Luo Mingrui’s birth mother and I got married, do you remember that?"
Seeing Kang Li nod, Luo Yanqing continued, "I thought she and I were just two separate individuals living together, because I could tell she had no feelings for me,
and I also had no feelings for her, but when I found out she had an eight-month pregnant belly and fell accidentally, was rushed to the hospital,
as a husband, I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could...she was carrying twins, regardless of how little affection there was between us, she...she was giving birth to my children,
but before I got to the hospital, she refused to be taken to the surgery room, insisting on waiting for me, and then, with only me, her, and her father and brothers present, she forced me to agree to something,
otherwise she preferred to have three lives end. I suspected what she wanted me to agree to wasn’t anything good, but her father and brothers were pleading, so I had no choice but to nod.
But after years had passed, she contacted me last year, wanting my father Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei to go to her, and I didn’t agree..." After not hearing Luo Yanqing continue, Kang Li spoke, "Continue."
"That’s it, I was busy at that time, and finding a moment to meet her was already difficult, and after expressing my stance, I returned to the institute." Actually, Feng Lu told him one thing, something shameful to any man, yet how could he mention such shame to his girl?
It’s not that he wanted to hide it, he just really didn’t know how to bring it up, at least...at least he couldn’t manage it now.
Perhaps it was for personal dignity, or perhaps for other reasons, but at this moment, he didn’t want his girl to know of his embarrassment.
Thinking of this, Luo Yanqing inwardly whispered "Sorry" to Kang Li.
"Why didn’t you write a letter to tell me?"
Staring directly into the man’s eyes, Kang Li wore a solemn expression: "Am I an outsider? For you and Rui Rui to unanimously hide this from me, if I hadn’t suddenly returned to the country and just happened to run into your ex-wife trying to take Ming Wei at the door of the courtyard, how much longer were you planning to keep this from me?"
"Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t intentionally hide it from you, I didn’t want to add unnecessary trouble to your plate. As for Luo Mingrui, they were probably worried you’d overthink it, so they didn’t bring it up with you in their minds."
Kang Li scoffed, "According to Professor Luo, you were all doing it for my good?"
"Yes." Luo Yanqing nodded, he said, "You have to study and take care of Bun, and keep busy with other things, that’s already tiring enough, how could I bear to let you be stressed out by Luo Mingrui’s mother’s matters?"
Staring at Luo Yanqing, Kang Li asked, "What are you thinking now?"
"..."
Luo Yanqing didn’t understand.
"Ming Wei has already moved in with your ex-wife, do you have any plans?" Kang Li directly clarified, and upon hearing, Luo Yanqing stayed silent for a moment, then his gaze turned indifferent and cold: "Don’t worry about it."
"Say that again?" Kang Li’s temper flared, "Ming Wei is your daughter, also my child, and your ’don’t worry about it’ means letting Ming Wei stay with her biological mother?"
Luo Yanqing: "I’m not a good father, I know that, because my mind is mostly focused on my work, but you’re a good mother,
all these years of your contributions to Luo Mingrui, I’ve seen them all, and I think Luo Mingrui knows it in his heart too, and initially, in my eyes, given your dedication to their siblings,
no matter what their birth mother said to them, they would resolutely choose to stand with you and me, but I received a call from my mother at the institute, saying Luo Mingwei wouldn’t listen and insisted on living with her birth mother, to live with her birth mother, and since her heart is no longer in this home, why bother with her affairs?"
At the gate.
"Mom and Dad, you should come back soon, Tangyuan will miss you!"
Seeing Luo Yanqing sit in the driver’s seat, Kang Li in the passenger seat, Ming Rui and Ming Han opened the back door and sat inside, Xiao Tangyuan followed behind Brother Bun and sister Guoguo, waving his little hands, his big eyes full of "Baby wants to go too."
"Got it."
Kang Li smiled through the half-open car window, waving at Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, she said, "Dad, Mom, it’s cold outside, take Bun and them back inside quickly, we’ll be back after taking care of things."
The car started, slowly pulling away from the older couple and three little ones.
"Mom, is this car ours?"
Ming Han liked the little black car very much, not just because it looked grand but also because its interior was spacious and particularly comfortable to ride in.
"It’s ours, Mom bought it for getting around, and from now on, when we go anywhere, having a car will make it a lot more convenient." Kang Li said with a smile, "I’ll buy you a car for getting around too." This was clearly addressed to Luo Yanqing.
"No need."
Luo Yanqing shook his head, "The institute provides me with a car." He had special transportation arranged, no need for his girl to waste money buying a car to sit idle.
Kang Li didn’t respond, she turned to look at Ming Rui and Ming Han: "Once you graduate from university and start work, Mom will set you both up with cars for getting around."
