Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1059: Have You Ever Heard This Saying?

She glanced at the room where her mother-in-law lived, and seeing no light through the crack at the bottom of the door, Kang Li knew her mother-in-law had already gone to bed. So, she stepped back into the master bedroom.

”Were you waiting for me?”

Seeing the man leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book, Kang Li’s brows and eyes were full of smiles.

”Yes.”

Luo Yanqing knew his little girl was asking with full knowledge, yet he chose not to expose her. He closed the book and placed it casually on the bedside table, his eyes gentle, ”Thank you for your hard work.”

”It’s just telling the kids a bedtime story, no big deal.”

Climbing into bed, Kang Li snuggled under the covers and heard Luo Yanqing say, ”They don’t like listening to my stories, saying I can’t tell them as well as you do.”

Luo Yanqing had long wanted to take over the job of telling bedtime stories to the children from Kang Li. However, he couldn’t even make up a story himself, and even reading from a storybook, he was too rigid. There was no emotion put in, and he didn’t change his voice for different characters. In short, Min Rui and the others didn’t really like hearing stories from their father when they were young.

”Children listen to stories not just to learn various morals from them. They listen for fun, and when you tell a story, it’s just like reading aloud ordinarily, with no emotion and no change of voice, so it doesn’t interest them. Naturally, they resist you telling them bedtime stories.”

Luo Yanqing: ”They’re so spoiled!”

Settling down next to Kang Li, Luo Yanqing drew her into his arms and kissed her full forehead gently, saying, ”Not to mention other kids, just those in our compound. Who is like Luo Mingrui and the others, spoiled by you with bedtime stories, crafts during holidays, painting... teaching to play erhu, and piano? You spend so much time and energy on them, it’s hard for me to watch.”

”You pity me.”

It wasn’t a question; Kang Li made it a statement.

”Of course, I care for my wife. You must remember, don’t tire yourself out.”

Luo Yanqing spoke softly, and hearing this, Kang Li smiled, ”Don’t worry, I know my limits. Besides, spending time with the kids makes me really happy. Children need adult companionship when they’re young so that they can feel secure.”

After pausing for a moment, Kang Li asked, ”Have you ever heard this saying?”

Luo Yanqing: ”What?”

Kang Li: ”A happy childhood can heal a lifetime, while an unhappy childhood requires a lifetime to heal.” Hearing this, Luo Yanqing was silent for a while, only tightening the arm around Kang Li’s waist.

”As parents, we must give our children a happy childhood, so no matter what difficulties they face in the future, recalling that we are there to support them will give them infinite strength to bravely confront those difficulties.”

As Kang Li spoke, she wrapped her arms around the man, ”I know your childhood wasn’t very happy. If time could turn back, I would want to be by your side the first moment you needed someone, so you wouldn’t feel lonely and uneasy, just...”

Before she could finish, Luo Yanqing silenced her with a kiss...

She didn’t know how long had passed by the time their kiss ended, and Luo Yanqing’s cool, deep voice was a bit hoarse, ”If I really could go back, and meet you at that time, I would hold your hand tightly and never let go for life.”

”Then, since we’ve only been together for the past few years, does that mean one day you’ll let go of my hand?”

Kang Li asked with a laugh.

”Never! I’ll never let go!”

Luo Yanqing answered, seriousness filling his brows and eyes.

Kang Li kissed the man’s smooth, flowing jawline, her voice soft:
