The bedside lamp on one side of the bed was still on; by its light, Kang Li stared steadily into Luo Yanqing’s dark eyes.
"Your parents all call you Li Bao, but in my eyes and in my heart, you’re my precious baby."
Hearing this, Kang Li’s cheeks instantly burned hot.
"I’m just me, I am not some precious baby of yours." With a tsundere edge in her tone, Kang Li avoided Luo Yanqing’s gaze and asked, "Do I treat my family like they’re grass or something?"
"Of course not."
Luo Yanqing’s lips curved into a faint arc. "Don’t overthink it."
"Fine, I won’t overthink it."
Kang Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Luo Yanqing, even if everything that Fifth Sister-in-law said is true, what does any of it have to do with her? My family dotes on me, circles around me, treats me like a treasure—that’s my parents’ choice. What is she jealous about?
Besides, she herself told me that as long as she’s at home, her parents and her brothers all surround her, fussing over her and pampering her like a little princess. How is she any different from me, who grew up surrounded by my parents and brothers?"
"She’s not right in the head. She feels it’s perfectly normal for her own family to circle around her and treat her like a treasure, but it’s not okay when it’s someone else. Seeing your parents and older brother pamper you from childhood to now makes her uncomfortable, so she inevitably harbors resentment toward you."
"Your analysis is a bit off, but my gut tells me that’s exactly what Wang Pan is thinking."
She’s got a screw loose!
Yes, her surname is Kang, not Wang. What’s wrong with being doted on by her own family?
Luo Yanqing said, "All right, now that you know what kind of person she is, just cut down on contact with her in the future."
Kang Li said, "I naturally won’t interact much with her from now on, but with such an unreasonable wife by his side, my brother’s days probably aren’t very pleasant."
"Since they’re already married, they should try to be more tolerant of each other. If he really can’t stand it, your brother can choose to get a divorce."
Life is something you live out day by day, but if a couple’s values are fundamentally incompatible, in his view, there’s no need to keep forcing it.
...
The next day was the first day of the lunar year. After Kang Li’s family got up early to wish Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya a happy New Year, they stayed to have breakfast with the two of them, and then Kang Li and Luo Yanqing said their goodbyes to Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya.
"Grandpa, Dad, we’re heading out."
"Be careful on the road."
Jiang Boya reminded them.
"Got it."
Kang Li replied.
"Don’t forget to come over early in the morning on the third day." Seeing Kang Li holding Guoguo and about to get into the car, Jiang Boya reminded her again. Hearing this, Kang Li smiled a bit helplessly, turned her head to look at this "discount" father of hers, and said, "I won’t forget. Our whole family will come early on the morning of the third day."
Jiang Boya nodded in satisfaction.
He watched the car drive out through the gates before finally pulling his gaze back.
"Dad, let’s go sit in the living room."
"Mm."
Jiang Hongfa nodded, and with Jiang Boya supporting him, went back to the living room.
"You have something to say to me?"
Sitting down on the sofa, Jiang Boya found himself being stared at unblinkingly by Jiang Hongfa, which for a moment gave him the feeling he’d done something wrong. But Jiang Boya had good control over his emotions, so nothing showed on his handsome face.
"She came looking for you again yesterday. Even though you didn’t go out to see her, her turning up at the door every few days like this still has a bad impact." The "she" in Jiang Hongfa’s mouth was undoubtedly Fang Su; what he was referring to was Fang Su showing up at their door to look for Jiang Boya.
