Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Isn’t It What You Asked for Yourself?

Su Man said indignantly, ”Comrade Luo, you can’t let your spouse bully me just because you’re skilled in your field. No matter what, my husband Wen Siyuan works in your project team. As his family member, if your spouse has bullied me, what do you think he would feel if he found out?”

”Was my spouse in the wrong for slapping you?”

Luo Yanqing’s gaze was indifferent, and his facial expression showed not the slightest change as he said lightly, ”You brought someone to my doorstep just based on someone else’s unilateral claims and your acquaintance with me, hoping to watch the drama at my home and see how my spouse gets bullied. With such behavior, is it not asking for it when my spouse slapped you?”

”You...”

Su Man’s cheeks turned red, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.

”About my spouse hitting you, I will clarify things in front of Comrade Wen later.”

Leaving these words behind, Luo Yanqing turned his head to his young wife, ”Let’s go home.”

Kang Li smiled, ”Okay.” But before she stepped away, Kang Li said to Su Man, ”I never hit anyone for no reason.”

”You are unreasonable!”

Su Man glared furiously at Kang Li.

”Whether I’m unreasonable, or you’re asking for a beating, we both know the truth.”

After tossing this casual remark to Su Man, Kang Li walked alongside Luo Yanqing, and the two entered their courtyard.

”Xiao Su, why do this at all!”

Xu Mei, Wen’s family’s neighbor on the other side, stood at her courtyard door. She had overheard the entire conversation between Su Man, Luo Yanqing, and Kang Li, and seeing that Kang Li and her husband had already entered their courtyard, she couldn’t help but give Su Man some advice:

”We’re all neighbors, seeing each other all the time. You really shouldn’t have brought someone directly into our courtyard yesterday. Not only did you offend Xiao Kang, but you also got slapped by her. Xiao Su, you need to think more before you act, or you’ll be the one at a loss.”

”But I had good intentions.”

Su Man bit her lip, showing a look of grievance, ”That auntie said her son lived in our courtyard and that his name was Luo Yanqing, so naturally I thought to do a good deed by bringing her in...”

”Why didn’t you call Kang Li from the gatehouse first? Everyone in our courtyard has their landline numbers listed there; it’s just a phone call away. You didn’t even make a call and just brought someone into the courtyard. Xiao Su, to be honest, I don’t believe you didn’t have ulterior motives.”

With Xu Mei pointing this out, Su Man felt unable to save face and mumbled defensively, ”What ulterior motives could I have? I’m not talking to you anymore, sister-in-law, my son is hungry, and I need to go make his formula.”

Carrying her son, Su Man quickly entered her courtyard.

Acting like such a good person, accusing me of having ulterior motives, does she think she’s the good one?

With a twist of her mouth, Su Man certainly hadn’t forgotten that Xu Mei was just as eager to spectate the commotion the day before.

The sunlight streamed through the window into the study where Luo Yanqing sat behind his desk, earnestly reading a book that was about two fingers thick.

Opposite him, Kang Li rested her elbow on the desk, hand supporting her cheek, quietly watching the man before her, and did not blink for a long while.

She had been reading as well, but somehow, her gaze had shifted to the man and she began to admire his 360° flawless face.

Such a handsome man, with such inexplicably long eyelashes...

She really wanted to reach out and touch them.

So thought Kang Li.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, because Luo Yanqing couldn’t help but notice. Suddenly, he looked up, meeting Kang Li’s eyes, and asked, ”What are you looking at?”
