Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Heartache Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Heartache Kang Guoan had just wiped the clean dishes and casually washed the dishcloth again before drying his hands and saying to Big Brother Kang, “Big Brother, I promise to protect Li Bao for the family. You really don’t need to worry too much.”
“How can I not worry? You and Li Bao are the sa age, you are still a child yourself, but despite that, Big Brother still hopes you can take good care of Li Bao. However, you are calm and composed. With you around, Big Brother, dad, mom, and your third brother can indeed feel a bit more at ease.”
Petting Kang Guoan on the shoulder, Big Brother Kang continued, then seemingly thought of sothing and sighed lightly, adding, “Your second brother must have already received the family’s letter by now. With his temper, who knows how stubborn he’s being!”
Surprised by the remark, Kang Guoan then chuckled and said, “Even if Second Brother is stubborn, knowing that the marriage was Li Bao’s own choice, he would have to accept it, I suppose.”
“Stubborn as a mule, how could he easily accept it? You know how much he adores Li Bao.”
Big Brother Kang gave a wry smile and shook his head. Seeing this, Kang Guoan’s lips tightened briefly, then he said, “What else can my second brother do? He surely can’t co running back to stop it, right?
Besides, Li Bao has already registered her marriage with Comrade Luo, and even if Second Brother ca to the Imperial Capital, he surely couldn’t ask Li Bao to divorce and send her back ho, could he?”
“If he really gets stubborn, who knows, he might take Li Bao to his place.”
As Big Brother Kang said this, Kang Guoan felt that it was very possible.
Kang Guoan asked, “So what should we do?”
After a mont of silence, Big Brother Kang shook his head and said, “Forget it, seeing the changes in Li Bao now, perhaps your second brother might just be making a wasted trip.”
Reflecting on the recent changes in Kang Li, Big Brother Kang felt that it was necessary to look at his beloved little sister with an eye towards her developnt. That is, he noticed that, after the Zhou Family broke off her engagent, Li Bao had clearly beco less naive and more aware.
About this change, Big Brother Kang undoubtedly felt relieved, but at the sa ti, it pained his heart.
In his mind, his little sister Li Bao ought to be soone who didn’t have to worry about everything and just needed to be happy every day.
However, since the Zhou Family’s breakup, though she still seed lively, she clearly started to hide her concerns, which was noticeable to everyone at ho.
Otherwise, the young girl wouldn’t have thought of buying gifts for the family before setting off for North City and wouldn’t have spoken those tear-inducing words in front of everyone.
The growth from being innocently happy to being thoughtful and considerate, aware of others’ needs, had indeed co at a cost for Li Bao!
Though it’s the cost of growing up, it’s indeed very heartbreaking!
At the sa ti, in a military family compound in the Northeast.
“Get up, get up, just tell what exactly is going on with you?”
He Hui was about to fall asleep when, unexpectedly, the person lying next to her kept tossing and turning like a pancake, preventing her from sleeping soundly. Irritated, she sat up and patted her partner’s shoulder, “Co on, you’ve been busy all day, and so have I; you can’t keep up just because you can’t sleep.”
Kang Guosheng, yes, Kang Guosheng, Kang Li’s second brother, felt his wife’s annoyance but didn’t get angry. He sat up against the headboard of the bed and blurted out, “I need to visit my hotown tomorrow, no, I’ll call ho directly. If it’s really as the letter said, I’ll just go straight to North City.”
He Hui frowned, “What are you talking about? All of this is so abrupt. I don’t understand.”
