Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1157

”Are you sure this is the truth?” Kang Li tucked away her smile, her demeanor swiftly shifted from relaxed to graceful and dignified. She approached Luo Yanqing, stopped two steps away from him, her gaze fixed on his indifferent and distant eyes, and said unhurriedly, ”You can think it over before answering.”

Unexpectedly, Luo Yanqing didn’t take a moment to think, directly repeating, ”I’m very busy.” The implication couldn’t be more clear.

Kang Li: ”Do you really not want to see me?”

”You know very well, considering the nature of my work, I can’t be a good husband... These years of marriage have made me feel immense pressure; I often get distracted at work... Kang Li, let’s get divorced! You deserve a better man to accompany you, and I don’t want any matters outside of work to hold me back...”

Uttering these words against his will, Luo Yanqing could almost feel his heart bleeding, yet, he had no other choice.

Kang Li remained calm: ”From what you said, am I the one causing you a lot of pressure?”

Luo Yanqing remained silent, which was tacit approval.

Indeed, the thoughts in his heart were: No! That was merely an excuse I fabricated, wanting you to leave me without any regrets and live your beautiful life.

After waiting a while with no words from Luo Yanqing, Kang Li pursed her lips, eyes cast down as if grieving, making Luo Yanqing feel an intense ache.

He wished he could hold her close, wanted to say everything was a lie, not to believe the nonsense he spewed, yet his hands that hung at his sides remained motionless.

”You’re excellent, I don’t want to hold you back, similarly, I’m passionate about my work and hope no one or nothing will disturb it.” Luo Yanqing’s voice was deep and crisp, still devoid of any warmth.

Kang Li lifted her gaze, she once again stared into the man’s indifferent and distant eyes: ”Luo Yanqing, are you hiding something from me, aren’t you?”

”No.”

The response was too quick, with a hint of suspicion.

”After the spring began, you returned to the office; in April you went home to rest, saying you would do so for two days every month from then on, and you indeed did, but in the past two months, you’ve been completely out of character—not only haven’t you come home, but also haven’t proactively called, and even stopped answering my calls, what does this suggest? It suggests you’re definitely hiding something from me, Luo Yanqing, tell me the truth, okay?”

Fool! Did he think she didn’t know why he proposed a divorce?

Just worried she’d become a widow...

”I said no.” Luo Yanqing took a step forward, bypassing Kang Li, he walked to the desk and looked out the window saying, ”I want to dedicate all my future time to my work, and I ask you not to make wild guesses.” If something malignant were to grow in his brain, the result would inevitably be fatal.

If possible, he surely wouldn’t want a foreign object growing in his brain, but the fact is it exists, and has started to manifest in his work.

Recalling a month ago while immersed in his experiment, unexpectedly the world went black before his eyes, although brief, it’s a fact.

Originally thinking it was due to excessive work stress, hoping some rest would solve it, yet a few days later, the darkness reappeared at work.

Couldn’t see anything!

The duration was similarly brief.

He couldn’t ignore it anymore, harboring anxiety, he went to the hospital for an examination.

Only to be informed... a foreign object appeared in the brain, but to determine if it’s benign or malignant requires further testing... however, with eyes and a mind, it’s not difficult to discern some clues from the doctor’s expression.
