It was the weekend, and Kang Li did not go out.
The afternoon sunshine stread into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Kang Li was lying on the rocking chair reading a book when she heard a knock on the door. She moved her gaze away from the book and looked towards the door: "Co in."
With a "click," the door was twisted open from the outside.
"Lili."
Jiang Boya walked in and closed the door casually behind him. He walked slowly towards Kang Li and sat down on the comfortable, soft, uniquely styled single-seater sofa near her.
Well, this single-seater sofa was a DIY project of Kang Li’s, though she only drew the design, and Jiang Boya found soone to actually make it.
"Is there sothing Mr. Jiang needs to discuss with ?"
Kang Li wore a polite smile on her face as she looked at Jiang Boya.
"Nothing urgent, I just wanted to have a casual chat with you."
Since he woke up, the little girl hadn’t read him essays anymore, let alone accompanied him for chats as she used to. Every ti, it was him initiating the conversations, chatting about topics she was interested in.
"You ntioned wanting to invest, have you got any ideas?"
"Yes."
"If you need to help, just say the word."
"Okay."
"Lili... Dad won’t demand anything from you, but Dad hopes you won’t be distant from , okay?"
"I’m not."
If she really was distant from him, she would’ve moved out of the manor imdiately after he woke up.
"Then maybe Dad is overthinking."
Jiang Boya tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smile a bit awkward, and then said, "I heard from your grandfather that you got married, and the man you married was previously married, is that true?"
"If I weren’t married, then what’s up with my belly?"
Pointing to her noticeably swollen abdon, Kang Li raised her eyebrows at Jiang Boya,
She felt that her biological father, although seeming shrewd and wise, sohow appeared a bit foolish in front of her?
"I..."
Jiang Boya rubbed his nose, feeling rather uncomfortable, secretly thinking: My daughter must think I’m a fool again, right?
"To be honest, Mr. Jiang, my husband was indeed married before, but he is a good person and treats very well. So far, I’m very satisfied with my marriage."
Kang Li’s eyes were full of smiles, and she spoke casually and naturally: "My husband has three children. The eldest is a son nad Ming Han, and the second and third are twins with mixed sex. The brother is nad Min Rui, and the sister is nad Ming Wei. They are all good kids and really like as their mom. Of course, I also like these three children very much."
"What you like, Dad will also like."
Jiang Boya said warmly: "When the children have their winter vacation, Dad can arrange for soone to bring them here from China to keep you company. Additionally, Dad can also bring your adoptive parents here."
Upon hearing this, Kang Li was briefly stunned, then imdiately beca serious: "Regarding my origin, my parents have never ntioned it to , nor have I asked them. Why? I won’t hide it from you—I don’t want to upset them, and I hope you know that I will always be my parents’ daughter, always retaining the surna ’Kang’."
Implying, she would never change her surna.
"Dad said he wouldn’t demand anything from you, naturally he wouldn’t make you change your surna."
Jiang Boya undoubtedly felt a bit lost inside, but didn’t show it outwardly. He said, "I am very grateful to your adoptive parents; if there is an appropriate opportunity, Dad will repay them well."
"No need." Kang Li shook her head: "My parents truly love , care for , and raised as their own daughter. You don’t need to repay them for anything." As she said this, Kang Li pointed to herself and continued:
