Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 This is Our Home

”I’ll ask the Director to help hire someone to take care of cooking and picking up Luo Mingrui from kindergarten so that you can relax a bit and have more flexibility with your time.”

Luo Yanqing could naturally tell that Kang Li did not want to bring up the past. His lips were tightly sealed, and after a long silence, he voiced his decision.

”No need,” Kang Li refused, saying, ”Godfather and Godmother are retired senior cadres, and they don’t have domestic help at home. We shouldn’t do anything out of the ordinary.”

Luo Yanqing: ”Godmother doesn’t like having strangers at home.”

Kang Li: ”I feel the same, and I like quiet too. If there’s an additional person at home, it would be so much less free for me to do anything with someone always hovering around!”

This wasn’t entirely the truth, after all, before arriving in this world, her life had never lacked people to look after her.

Well, except for her own solitary living space.

However, here, for the time being, casually hiring people to work in the house didn’t seem like a good idea.

Seeing that Luo Yanqing hadn’t made a sound for a long while, Kang Li asked, ”Why aren’t you speaking?” But Luo Yanqing remained silent, giving Kang Li no choice but to say, ”Actually, I’m concerned about the impression it would make. Also, I can assure you that there will absolutely not be another incident like the last one.”

Finally, Luo Yanqing spoke, ”When I first returned to the country and started at the research institute, the leaders had intended to arrange someone to look after my living needs, but I turned it down at the time. Later... because Luo Mingrui needed care, without a word from me, they hired someone for the house.”

Kang Li: ”Oh, I see. But you should know that those two people were not of good character, otherwise, you wouldn’t have found me in your home.”

Luo Yanqing: ”...This is our home.”

A hint of a smile crossed Kang Li’s eyes; she curved her lips and said, ”Oh.”

”You... you could ask around at the old place to see if there’s anyone who wants to come and keep you company, with board and lodging included. Each month...” Knowing what Luo Yanqing was about to say, Kang Li cut in immediately: ”Listen to me, it’s really not necessary. If you’re truly worried, I can call my mom to see if she’s willing to come and stay at our place for a while.”

Luo Yanqing: ”She can stay long-term.” There’s a spare room at home, and he had no objections to how long his mother-in-law wished to stay.

”Alright, I’ll let my mom know that you, her son-in-law, have invited her to stay in North City for an extended period.”

Kang Li’s words were tinged with laughter. Upon hearing her, Luo Yanqing felt his cheeks heat up.

”Let’s sleep, you’re still ill and need to rest more.”

”Mmm.”

”Good night.”

Luo Yanqing: ”...Good night.”

The next day.

Kang Li took Xiao Mingrui to kindergarten and didn’t let Luo Yanqing accompany her. In the afternoon, when she picked up the kids and went back home, she again didn’t ask Luo Yanqing to come along.

In her words, since he had come home to recuperate, he should stay at home and rest properly, lest the cough, which was not a serious ailment, became prolonged from neglect.

On the third day after Luo Yanqing returned home, which was today, he completely stopped coughing. However, to be safe, Kang Li accompanied him to the hospital near the compound for a thorough checkup at noon.

After being examined by the doctor, it was confirmed that he was cured, and Luo Yanqing didn’t stay home any longer than necessary. After having lunch, he called the institute.

”This is me, Luo Yanqing... Yes, I can resume work this afternoon. Okay, I’ll wait at home, goodbye.”

After finishing the call with Director Song, Luo Yanqing replaced the receiver on the phone and looked towards Kang Li: ”A car will come to pick me up around 1:30 p.m.”

”Got it. I’ve already packed your things; just grab and go when the car arrives.”
