Feng Lu flushed red upon hearing this, embarrassed to her ears. After a moment, she said, "I was young back then, and it wasn’t really intentional. You should know, when people are young, anyone can make mistakes. As for me... It just so happened that my mistake was in romantic matters. Now after all these years, I already know what I did was wrong. Also, I believe with Luo Yanqing’s character, he wouldn’t keep holding on to that slip."
"Lady Feng, you’re being a bit too full of yourself!"
Kang Li’s bright, clear eyes were penetrating. She stared directly into Feng Lu’s gaze, as if able to see through to the depths of her heart. With such a look upon her, Feng Lu felt a tightening inside, then she heard Kang Li say:
"There’s something you might not know. Let me tell you now: A few years ago, you met my partner at a famous university in Hu City. When you greeted him, he had no idea who you even were.
It’s clear that you never mattered to him at all. Since that’s the case, why would he ever care what you did?"
"You think I’d believe what you’re saying?"
Feng Lu felt her face growing hotter. She understood Kang Li’s meaning; it was telling her that she never cared about Luo Yanqing, never saw him as her husband, and Luo Yanqing thought the same—she wasn’t his wife in his heart, so obviously he never cared about her either.
Although this sounded reasonable—after all, feelings go both ways. If she didn’t invest herself, what right did she have to expect him to invest?
But the thought still made her deeply uncomfortable.
Thinking thus, Feng Lu couldn’t help arguing back, raising the issue of Luo Yanqing raising Min Rui and her siblings: "If Luo Yanqing really didn’t care about me, how could he willingly raise Luo Mingrui and the others?"
At that, Kang Li laughed: "Does my partner need a reason to raise his own children?"
Feng Lu: "Luo Mingrui and the others aren’t his!"
"My partner believes they are, so they are. Before he knew about Ruirui and the others’ background, he raised them as his own children; and after learning the truth, do you think he cares much about so-called blood ties?
The three kids grew up beside him, started calling him Dad as soon as they could talk. Setting aside the bonds of blood, my partner values family, values all those years of affection built living together with the children."
