Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Am I Not Allowed to Be Upset?

”No one likes it when their belongings are tampered with, and I mind it just as much as you do. However, that day, I merely wanted to help organize those books for you and had no other intentions. But afterwards, I reflected on it and understood that regardless of my intentions, it was disrespectful to you.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yanqing’s lips pursed slightly, and after a long moment, he finally said, ”Then you...” Yet his following words did not come.

Kang Li smiled, ”Are you asking me why, after realizing that, I didn’t speak to you as proactively as before, and why I haven’t been cooking for you these past few days, right?”

Luo Yanqing: ”...” His silence spoke volumes.

”Am I not allowed to be upset?” Kang Li glared at the man, but she didn’t realize that her look carried no real threat; instead, it just made her appear charming and animated.

Luo Yanqing: ”You’re upset?” If she had come to understand, why was she still upset?

Kang Li pointed at the man’s chest with her right index finger, speaking with a hint of emotion, ”I’m upset about the way you looked at me and the tone you used when speaking to me. Do you realize? Your eyes were indifferent and distant, and your tone was so cold. I felt hurt and didn’t want to deal with you, and I didn’t want to make your meals. Am I wrong?”

”No.”

Gripping Kang Li’s finger that was pressing against his chest repeatedly, he said, ”You’re not wrong, it’s my fault, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I was considering an issue at the time and reacted that way instinctively when I felt someone touching my hand.”

Kang Li went ”Oh.”

After a silence, Luo Yanqing continued, ”Xiao Li, when you said that my gaze towards you was indifferent and remote, I... I didn’t realize...”

”You’re calling me Xiao Li?” From calling her Kang Li to now Xiao Li, it seemed his attitude towards her had indeed progressed!

Luo Yanqing: ”Is that not okay?”

Kang Li shook her head, ”You can call me whatever you like.”

After a brief pause, she went on, ”Your gaze is indeed very detached, but I know it’s not just towards me. This could be related to your past experiences, or maybe you are just innately unable to feel much towards anything, which is why you have such a look.”

”It’s not...”

Luo Yanqing nearly blurted out, but after the words ”it’s not,” he struggled to find what to say next.

Kang Li asked, ”What do you want to say it’s not?”

Luo Yanqing shook his head.

”Do you not know how to say it?”

With her finger still held by the other party, Kang Li saw the man nod and smiled, ”Then don’t say it. The way we interact with each other, all you need to do is follow your own heart.”

Despite having been married once, he still hadn’t become savvy about relationships. As she had previously thought: the man before her was an older but innocent man when it came to love!

At the Song Family.

Director Song suddenly received a phone call, and after the call ended, his expression was grave, and he remained silent for a long while.

”Who was that?”

Seeing Director Song’s mood was off, Mrs. Qi’s brow furrowed slightly, unable to refrain from asking who was on the other end of the call with Director Song.

”It was a call from Director Nie Yun of the Langcheng Welfare Institute.”

”The Langcheng Welfare Institute... a call from Comrade Nie Yun? What did he tell you?” The Langcheng Welfare Institute was where Little Luo had lived for almost ten years; now that Director Nie was calling, could it have something to do with Little Luo?

Mrs. Qi fixed her gaze on Director Song: ”Will you please speak?”

”Comrade Nie Yun said that Little Luo’s birth mother has found the Welfare Institute and is inquiring about Little Luo’s current whereabouts.”
