Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Rushing Towards Each Other? Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Rushing Towards Each Other? “If you’re feeling unwell, go see a doctor and don’t worry about how much it costs.”
When Luo Yanqing said this, Kang Li’s clear fox-like eyes filled with amusent. “I don’t need to take dicine,” she said bluntly, as she saw no need to regularly contribute money to the hospital.
Luo Yanqing said, “…You handle all the household affairs.”
He had little concept of money, and at the research institute, he generally didn’t need to spend anything. He himself didn’t smoke or drink. Apart from the occasional need to chip in when a colleague got married or had a child’s full-month celebration, he really had no need to spend money.
Kang Li’s lips curved into a smile; she knew what he ant: she was free to make decisions regarding the household’s finances and other sundries as she saw fit.
She felt delighted, not because she held the financial reins, but because she was glad about his trust in her. She felt that with “trust” as a foundation, she could perhaps look forward to their future marital life with a bit more anticipation.
…
Dinner was jujube millet porridge paired with flower rolls, vinegar shredded potatoes, and stir-fried zucchini.
As the sun set, the family of five finished dinner. Just like after lunch, before Kang Li could stand up to clear the dishes, Luo Yanqing had already taken the initiative to do it.
Kang Li didn’t just sit idle; she cleaned the dining table, rearranged it along with the stools, and then took the three kids for a walk in the courtyard to aid digestion…
“There aren’t many people coming over to watch TV tonight.”
“Were there a lot before?”
“Mhm.”
“Don’t you like it?”
“It’s not that; I just prefer calm.”
After two episodes of the TV series were done, Luo Yanqing didn’t ask the neighbor boy, Xue Chong, to help but moved the television and its table back to the living room himself. At that mont, he seed to understand sothing upon hearing what Kang Li said.
——Send the television back to our hotown.
She probably wanted so peace, which made him think…
It seed the thing he had done that afternoon was sowhat presumptuous.
Luo Yanqing thought thus, a trace of discomfort montarily crossing his handso face, but as the living room was dimly lit, and since Kang Li had stepped toward the children’s bedroom, she didn’t notice his change of expression.
About ten minutes later, Kang Li ca out of Xiao Ming Rui’s bedroom, not finding the man in the living room, nor in the study. As sporadic water sounds ca from the courtyard, she paused, and then walked out of the living room.
There he was, washing clothes in the courtyard.
Stopping in her tracks, Kang Li watched quietly under the bright moonlight without making a sound, just standing there observing.
The night breeze was cool, with occasional voices from the neighboring houses.
“Dad, can’t we watch it a little longer?”
“Yueyue, it’s late, if you don’t go to bed now…”
“I was talking to my dad. What does it have to do with you?”
“Wen Yue, is that how you talk to your mom?”
“I want to watch TV, I want to watch TV!”
“If you keep shouting like this, be careful I’ll have soone make a cabinet tomorrow and lock the TV inside so you won’t be able to watch it ever again!”
“I hate you. You’re not my dad!”
The sounds of the little girl’s running feet and her crying were exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
“Siyuan, Yueyue is still young. It’s nothing if she talks back a bit.”
“She’s been spoiled by her mom. If I don’t discipline her now, sooner or later she might not even respect you anymore.”
Kang Li listened to the voices from Wen Family Courtyard next door, yet her emotions remained steady.
“You should go to sleep.”
Luo Yanqing inadvertently saw Kang Li standing at the living room door; he paused for a mont and then said softly.
“It’s cooler in the courtyard.”
Kang Li looked at him, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
Under the moonlight, his face seed a bit veiled, yet it couldn’t hide his graceful form.
Her heart raced “thump, thump” faster as he glanced at her casually.
