Chapter 153: Chapter 153 My Man? Chapter 153: Chapter 153 My Man? The man’s pen scratched rapidly across the paper, finishing one sheet and grabbing another blank one to continue his calculations.
Indeed, intuition told Kang Li that the man was most likely working out sothing.
For a long while, there was no reaction from the man, not even a glance downward.
Kang Li wanted to call out to him, to vent the anger in her heart, but after hesitating repeatedly, she turned and left the study.
Inspiration sotis bursts forth in an instant, and she knew what mattered. She understood and greatly admired those who could imrse themselves fully in their work, forgetting everything around them, caught in the focus of their minds. She also felt that n who concentrated on their work had a certain charm.
However, although she understood and appreciated him, and was nearly srized by his unintentional charm, it couldn’t dissipate the anger towards the man that had arisen from the miserable state of the three little ones earlier that day.
Hmph!
She decided that until he showed so remorse, she would refuse to speak a word to him.
The delicious tomato and egg noodles were ready, and the three little ones ate unhappily. And yet, at this ti, soone was still busy in the study.
Sighing silently to herself, Kang Li was instantly full of regret, wondering how she ended up owing the man anything. Look at her, serving him his al right before his eyes.
She tapped her fingers on the desk a few tis. With no response, Kang Li tapped again with more force until she finally saw the man look up from his busy work with a detached gaze.
Pointing to the bowl of rice, Kang Li remained silent.
Seeing this, Luo Yanqing paused, but did not move to eat for a long while.
Kang Li frowned, tapping the desk as a reminder.
This ti, Luo Yanqing finally took action. He first tidied the sheets of paper covered in dense data to the side of the desk, then moved the bowl of rice closer to himself.
Seeing the man begin to eat, Kang Li turned sharply and disappeared from the study’s doorway in an instant.
Luo Yanqing’s detached eyes flickered, feeling that Kang Li was behaving oddly—as if he had upset her?
He frowned in recollection but found nothing amiss.
All had been well during their visit to the departnt store, so why was she now acting like she didn’t want to deal with him?
Unable to figure it out, Luo Yanqing did not dwell on it any further.
After eating, he left the study to wash his own used dishes. Then, he returned to the study to continue his work.
“Weren’t things fine during dinner? What’s the matter now?”
In the room of the three little ones, Kang Li tilted her head, looking at the listless children, especially when her gaze fell on the little girl, who suddenly started shedding tears like golden beans.
“Vivi, girls who cry aren’t endearing, you know!”
People say that children’s faces can change as quickly as the weather in June.
She had now seen this firsthand.
“I hate Daddy! I don’t want to see Daddy ever again!” Xiao Ming Wei sobbed softly, while Xiao Ming Rui and Xiao Ming Han next to her, although not crying like their sister, had faces full of gloom, clearly showing that they were in a bad mood.
Kang Li, having a good guess at the reason, crossed her arms and asked with raised eyebrows, “Why?”
However, not one of the little cubs answered.
Dwen Dwen: “Miss, these three cubs are in a bad mood, they need you to patiently guide them.”
Kang Li: “Weren’t they all okay during dinner?”
Dwen Dwen: “That was just a montary distraction. Now that they’ve quieted down, they’re involuntarily rembering how aggrieved they felt when they got punished to stand by your man at noon.”
Kang Li: “My man?” She twitched her lips; she would indeed like to, but the man was as indifferent as water left to cool—if she didn’t take the initiative, he truly would not entertain even the slightest flirtation.
