Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1154:

”Alright! Mom is waiting for your good news.”

Cai Xiufen looked indulgent yet helpless: ”Did you come to my room just to tell me this?”

”Yes, yes, yes.” Kang Li beamed, nodding repeatedly: ”Ruirui and the others saw how happy I was this afternoon, did you notice, Mom?”

”I saw you were so happy you seemed ready to fly up to the sky.”

Being teased by her mother like this, Kang Li smiled warmly, saying in a soft voice: ”I feel so light and airy!”

Cai Xiufen looked at Kang Li with loving eyes: ”Mom loves seeing you happy.”

”I love seeing you happy too, always cheerful.”

”Your mouth is getting sweeter!”

”I didn’t eat any candy.”

”Well, who knows?”

”Mom, I really didn’t eat any candy.”

”Alright, alright, you didn’t eat candy.”

After joking with Kang Li, Cai Xiufen said: ”Go back to sleep, you’ll be busy early tomorrow.”

”I’m leaving then.”

She was planning to bring some dried meat and oil tea for Luo Yanqing, all of which needed to be prepared early tomorrow. Thinking of this, Kang Li said ”Goodnight” to Cai Xiufen and returned to the master bedroom.

Little did she know, at this time point, Luo Yanqing had just walked out of the laboratory.

”Director...”

”Come to my office.”

”It’s this late, aren’t you resting?”

”Quit the nonsense.”

Director Song glared at Luo Yanqing and stepped towards the office.

Truth be told, he was deliberately blocking the laboratory door because not only Kang Li felt Luo Yanqing has been acting strangely for the past month, but Director Song also noticed it.

Luo Yanqing stood silently outside the laboratory. Maybe not hearing footsteps behind him, Director Song paused and turned back to look at Luo Yanqing: ”What are you standing there for? Follow along!”

”...” Luo Yanqing’s mouth twitched, but he eventually said nothing, stepping towards Director Song.

The two entered the office one after the other.

Director Song: ”Shut the door.”

Luo Yanqing tightened his lips and casually closed the door, asking: ”What does the Director want to say to me?” With a blank expression, Luo Yanqing stood in the center of the office.

”Sit down and talk.”

Director Song pointed at the sofa.

”No, please speak directly.”

Luo Yanqing shook his head.

”What on earth is wrong with you? You’re the one who requires your project group members to rest for two days a month, so why the sudden noncompliance on your part?

And you haven’t been going home to rest, shouldn’t you at least call home to let them know? But you haven’t, and even when Li Bao called, you uncharacteristically didn’t answer, making excuses that you were too busy.

You cheeky kid, I know you’re busy, but surely you can spare a minute to take Li Bao’s call, can’t you? Especially since Li Bao calls during non-working hours...”

Before Director Song could continue, Luo Yanqing lowered his eyelids, making it hard to read his emotions, he said: ”I’m indeed very busy, you know, the project I’m handling now is very important.”

”Which project you’ve managed over the years wasn’t important?” Director Song felt Luo Yanqing’s words were just an excuse—a convenient excuse of being busy to avoid going home and avoiding Kang Li’s calls.

But he just couldn’t guess the reason.

”If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the dorm to rest.”

Luo Yanqing spoke as he tried to leave.

Seeing him turn away, Director Song suddenly slapped the desk, saying sternly: ”Hold on! Call your home immediately!”

”Everyone at home is asleep by now.”

Implying that it was inappropriate to call at this time.

Director Song: ”It’s not even half-past nine, if you call, Li Bao will definitely pick up.”
