Cai Xiufen felt pained for her daughter, sensing that having a husband or not made no significant difference in Li Bao’s life after marriage.
True, she wasn’t lacking money, and her three kids were sensible and obedient, but with her husband not by her side, if soday she fell ill... she couldn’t bear to think further. Cai Xiufen dreaded that the more she thought about it, the more pained she would feel and thus might grow resentful towards her son-in-law whom she had never t.
"What? Stay there overnight?"
Kang Li hadn’t considered staying over at the research institute, but now, hearing her mother’s words, her eyes, fox-like, widened in surprise.
"What do you an ’what’? It’s settled, you don’t need to co back tonight!"
Silly girl, barely seeing her son-in-law a few tis a year, isn’t she worried their relationship might beco estranged?
Moreover, relationships need nurturing. Don’t tell a country old lady doesn’t know this. Just think, a couple who hardly sees each other all year, how familiar can they get?
Without familiarity, how can there be affection?
Without affection, how can the couple continue their life together?
Does she expect her daughter to rely act as a "nanny"?
If that were the case, Cai Xiufen wouldn’t accept it.
And the reason she initially strongly opposed her daughter marrying far away, only to agree later, though persuaded by her husband’s argunts, was primarily because she believed the heavens wouldn’t be cruel enough to deny her Li Bao any children.
In other words, she hoped her precious daughter could have a child of her own.
Whether a boy or a girl, as long as it was her daughter’s own child, it was enough.
Only then could she rest easy and close her eyes forever when her ti ca.
Of course, Cai Xiufen thought this way not because she found her three step-grandchildren unreliable, but out of a subconscious belief that a blood connection would make the mother-child relationship more secure.
But if the daughter and son-in-law rarely shared a bed, how would they have a child?
Thus, Cai Xiufen was determined to have Kang Li stay overnight at the research institute.
"Why though?"
Kang Li, unaware of her mother’s thoughts, had no idea that in the blink of an eye, her mother had worried a whole basket full of worries.
"Just think it over yourself!"
This shouldn’t be! They’d been married for over a year, could her daughter really still be clueless? Thinking this, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help but scrutinize her precious daughter carefully.
Kang Li, under her mother’s scrutinizing gaze, slowly started to feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, what are you looking at? Is there sothing wrong with ?" Hearing her daughter’s words, Cai Xiufen’s expression changed and she couldn’t help but ask, "You’ve been married for over a year now, have you and Yanqing shared a room?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Li first looked puzzled and then said, "Yes, ever since I ca to North City, whenever Luo Yanqing is on vacation and cos ho, he sleeps in the master bedroom."
"Then have you guys ever..."
Cai Xiufen couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence, even in front of her daughter, how could she ask if they had done what couples do.
"Do you really not understand what I an by ’sharing a room’?"
Frowning, Cai Xiufen worriedly didn’t know what to think.
Her daughter remained silent for a long while, her cheeks visibly reddening. Cai Xiufen found it amusing and tapped her daughter’s forehead, "Just tell , have you or haven’t you?" Cai Xiufen knew her beloved daughter must have understood her aning, otherwise, she wouldn’t be blushing so intensely.
Bearing the embarrassnt, Kang Li lied, "...Yes." Once she told the truth, her mother would surely worry over her excessively.
Cai Xiufen, hearing this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It’s almost eleven now, if you’re going, you’d better hurry!" After a short pause, Cai Xiufen added:
