Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 575: Chapter 575: How Can It Be Called a Joke?

”Hanhan, mom is going to check the kitchen to see if the porridge is done. I’ll coddle you when I come back.”

As she spoke, Kang Li put Xiao Ming Wei on the sofa and asked the little girl to sit properly before getting up and saying to Wu Yue, ”Stay for dinner, I’m going to start cooking now.”

”No need, no need, Lin Dan and I must go. Otherwise, it’ll soon be dark, and people at home will start to worry.” Wu Yue waved her hand, stood up, and politely declined Kang Li’s invitation for them to stay for dinner.

Lin Dan also stood up following Wu Yue but didn’t speak. She merely pretended to glance inadvertently at Kang Yiyang.

While Cai Xiufen tried to persuade her beloved daughter to let them stay, Wu Yue and Lin Dan ultimately took their leave.

”They left?”

After seeing Wu Yue and her companion out to the main gate, Kang Li returned home and was greeted by her mother’s inquiry.

”Yeah.”

Kang Li nodded.

After dinner and tidying up the kitchen, the whole extended family had their baths. They then sat in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening air while chatting leisurely.

To prevent the three little ones from being bitten by mosquitoes, Kang Li had specifically lit some mosquito coils nearby.

”When Lin Dan left, she called me ’Grandma Kang.’ That doesn’t seem right, does it?” Cai Xiufen held a handheld fan, casually fanning herself. She said, ”Wu Yue is her cousin, so she calls me ’auntie.’ How come Lin Dan demoted herself a generation when it comes to addressing me?”

Upon hearing this, Kang Li glanced at her nephew and then asked with a smile, ”Is mom really confused or just pretending?”

”Pretending to be confused?” Cai Xiufen was puzzled. When she noticed Kang Li’s gaze toward her grandson, she was taken aback and, after a moment, she realized, ”Are you suggesting that girl Lin Dan has taken a fancy to Yangyang?” Although it was a question, from Cai Xiufen’s tone, it was clear she already knew the answer.

Kang Yiyang wasn’t sure what expression he should have on his face. He frowned and said, ”Auntie, please don’t joke about me to grandma.”

”Why would it be a joke?” Kang Li smiled, ”In the brief time at our house, Lin Dan couldn’t stop looking at you.”

Cai Xiufen: ”I think that girl is quite good. If you two could become a match, grandma would phone your parents to let them know to get ready. We could arrange the match before the end of the year.”

”What ’you two’?” Kang Yiyang was bewildered, rubbing his forehead as he said, ”There is absolutely nothing between Comrade Lin Dan and me. Besides, didn’t I say last year that I wouldn’t be in a relationship for ten years, and it’s only been one year. I can’t go back on my words, right? Moreover, I have no feelings for Comrade Lin Dan, so grandma and auntie, please don’t force this match.”

Cai Xiufen observed her grandson’s expressions and asked, ”You really don’t like that girl Lin Dan?”

”Grandma, it isn’t about liking or not liking; I simply haven’t considered dating anyone.” Kang Yiyang was earnest in his expression, and said, ”I’m only nineteen this year. In the city, that’s still quite young. There’s no need to hurriedly look for a partner. Moreover, I don’t think much of the girls from the big city.”

Cai Xiufen looked at her grandson, remaining silent for a long moment.

Kang Li, in deep thought, said, ”You’re not actually spooked by what happened to your young uncle, are you?” Without waiting for Kang Yiyang to answer, Kang Li continued, ”The forest is big and houses all sorts of birds. You can’t simply think all the city girls are like Comrade Yang, who harassed your uncle and then develop a prejudice against city girls.”

”...”

Kang Yiyang was silent for a long while.

”Could it be that your aunt was right?” Cai Xiufen tapped on her grandson’s arm:
