Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: There is something I want your help with

Even though she felt a bit reluctant, Kang Li knew the man in front of her was returning to his unit to work on important matters and wouldn’t cling too much in their conversation.

Time passed quickly. She heard the sound of a car approaching from outside the courtyard, then the gate being knocked on. Luo Yanqing picked up his bag, ”I’m leaving.”

Kang Li nodded, ”Mm.”

The two walked out of the living room, and as they were about to reach the courtyard gate, Kang Li stopped, ”Luo Yanqing.”

”Hmm?”

Luo Yanqing paused, looking towards Kang Li with puzzlement written in his dark, ink-like phoenix eyes.

With lively eyes and brows, Kang Li tiptoed and kissed the man on one side of his cheek. Then, pointing to her own right cheek and wearing a playful smile, she said nothing, only blinking her clear, fox-like eyes mischievously as she tilted her head to look at him.

Snapping out of his daze, Luo Yanqing’s ears turned red, the blush spreading down to his neck and across his handsome face.

”What goes around comes around.”

Seeing the man not moving, Kang Li pointed at her right cheek again.

Bearing the discomfort, Luo Yanqing bent down and lightly pressed a kiss on his beautiful wife’s face. He said, ”Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything.”

Kang Li’s bright fox-like eyes curved like a crescent moon, ”Got it. You also need to take good care of yourself. Don’t fall ill again.”

Watching Luo Yanqing’s jeep drive away, Kang Li turned back and headed home.

”Mom, is dad not at home because he went back to work at his unit?”

Xiao Ming Rui had been picked up that afternoon. Not seeing their father, Milk Bun Ming Han couldn’t help but ask their mother.

Kang Li confirmed, ”Mm.”

Xiao Ming Wei said, ”Dad only stayed home for three days this time.” Finger counting, Xiao Ming Wei did the math again, clearly a bit disappointed.

”Correct, it was three days. But this time he came home to recover, and now that he’s better, he naturally has to return to work. Otherwise, no one will be able to do his job, and a lot of things will be delayed.”

Listening to what Kang Li said, the twins nodded their little heads, ”Hanhan (Vivi) understands! Dad is busy with important things, not that he doesn’t want to stay with us.”

...

The weather turned colder, and like everyone else, Kang Li stored plenty of cabbage, radishes, and hundreds of coal briquettes along with enough coal for heating at home.

”Li Bao, it’s done.”

Since it was the weekend, Guoan had come to see Kang Li, originally to ask his sister for help with a troublesome matter, but happened to arrive while Kang Li was installing a heating stove. Without a second thought, he took on the task.

After more than an hour’s work, the big-bellied heating stove in the middle of the living room ”started working,” and the heat pipes leading to the kids’ rooms and the master bedroom gradually warmed up.

To prevent any gas leakage, Guoan wrapped thick tape around each joint of the heat pipes, checking them over several times carefully. Flashing a big white-toothed grin, he told Kang Li that the job was all done.

The twin twins clapped their hands seal-style, exclaiming, ”Wow! Little Uncle is so capable!”

”You’ve put in hard work, young man, sit down and have some water.”

Kang Li handed Guoan a porcelain jug of malt extract, ”With this heating stove, we four won’t have to fear the cold.”

”There are children at home; it’s necessary to have a heating stove. Otherwise, it’s too cold indoors, and the children can easily get sick,” Guoan replied as he took the jug and drank, ”Actually, I came here today because I need your help with something.”

”Then let’s go to the study.”

Kang Li spoke and looked at Min Rui, ”Ruirui, play in the living room with your brother and sister. Remember not to touch the heating stove; it could burn you.”
