Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Apart from Envy, There is Only Envy

Looking at Kang Li’s smile, Xiao Jin unconsciously thought of the word ”sweet.”

His cheeks felt warm, and Xiao Jin suddenly snapped back to reality.

While everyone appreciates beauty, Xiao Jin knew very well that his admiration for Kang Li was purely that, devoid of any romantic feelings.

”I see, you’re busy then, I’ll go pick up my dear Professor Luo from work.”

Kang Li’s demeanor was casual as she spoke, preparing to leave.

”Comrade Kang!”

Seeing Kang Li about to go, Xiao Jin hurriedly called her back.

”Do you need something, Comrade Xiao?”

Kang Li looked at him, puzzled.

”I’m apologizing on behalf of my wife, Comrade Kang, I’m really sorry. My wife might have offended you today because she is pregnant and her emotions are unstable; please forgive her.”

With an apologetic expression, Xiao Jin bowed to Kang Li: ”Sorry.”

”Strictly speaking, it shouldn’t be Comrade Xiao apologizing to me, but since spouses are united as one, I’ll accept your apology.”

Kang Li didn’t shy away, her smile fading as she spoke lightly: ”Actually, your wife and I have no real grievances. But I would like you to tell her from me, to live her own life well, not to always look for something better, ignoring what she already has.”

Xiao Jin didn’t quite understand but didn’t ask Kang Li for clarification, nodding instead: ”I will convey your message. However, could you not be so formal with me? Although we’re no longer colleagues, we have known each other and live in the same compound. We will encounter each other often in the future, so there’s no need for formalities, alright?”

”No problem.”

Kang Li nodded with a smile: ”Then you’re busy, Comrade Xiao. I won’t stay here any longer.”

But as Kang Li was about to turn around and leave, she saw Luo Yanqing approaching her from a distance. She stood still, her brows and eyes curving lightly, lips drawing a faint arc as she awaited her dear Professor Luo’s approach.

After taking a few steps, Xiao Jin sensed the sweet and tender atmosphere behind him and turned his head to look. He saw a man with a tall and upright posture, whose usually indifferent and cold eyes were now filled with tenderness and affection.

Before he reached the woman, the man stretched out his hands, and the next moment, the woman stepped lightly, like a butterfly, into the man’s embrace.

Catching the woman, the man’s handsome, cool face bloomed with a smile as he held her tight and asked, ”Why aren’t you resting in the dormitory?”

”I came to pick you up from work, are you happy?”

The woman’s voice was sweet and delightful to the ear.

To avoid mutual embarrassment, well, his own embarrassment, Xiao Jin averted his gaze and continued on his way.

Envious?

Yes, he was envious. He envied the way the two interacted, warm and romantic, yet he could only envy them.

The reason?

Even though he hadn’t seen the look on the woman’s face when she saw her beloved, from the tone of her voice and her laughter, he could easily imagine that the moment he entered her sight, her eyes must have been shining, as if filled with glimmering stars.

And that kind of gaze, he feared he would never see in his wife’s eyes...

Feeling down, Xiao Jin thought about picking up food for Shen Yun before heading back to the compound.

”So Comrade Kang is here, no wonder the group leader got off work on time today, and we all got to enjoy the benefits thanks to Comrade Kang.”

Walking beside Wen Siyuan, He Wei said with a smile, ”The group leader is really lucky to have married such a beautiful wife like Comrade Kang.”

Wen Siyuan gave He Wei a sidelong glace: ”Envious?”

”Aren’t you?”

He Wei rolled his eyes at Wen Siyuan, asking casually:
