Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1202:

As time went by, it was almost the end of March, but Kang Li’s belly showed no signs of activity. That day, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help but ask, ”Did you miscalculate the date?”

”...” Kang Li didn’t react for a moment until she saw Cai Xiufen pointing at her high belly; then she understood what her mother meant. She smiled and said, ”No.”

”Then why is there still no movement?”

Cai Xiufen was puzzled.

”There’s still more than a week until the due date!” Kang Li said, ”I’m not in a hurry at all.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiufen dotingly remarked to her darling daughter, ”Do you think I’m the one who’s anxious? I’m just worried you might have gotten the date wrong, and if something happens all of a sudden, we’ll be in chaos.”

Pausing for a moment, Cai Xiufen continued, ”Besides, having a baby isn’t something you can rush. I’ve given birth to several of you siblings. What don’t I know?”

Kang Li grinned and said, ”Yes, yes, mom, you’re the best. You know everything, unlike me, just like a frog at the bottom of a well, clueless about giving birth.”

”You’re good at flattery.” Cai Xiufen laughed and chided her lightly, then said, ”Maybe the kids will wait until their dad arrives to be born.”

Kang Li was initially stunned upon hearing this, then gave a gentle smile, ”You know how busy your son-in-law’s work is. I don’t expect him to make it here when I give birth.”

”Yanqing said he would come.”

With this, Cai Xiufen paused and continued, ”Ever since he knew everything was well with you here, Yanqing only took two days off during the Spring Festival, and has been busy with work ever since.

This time, before your dad and I came over, Yanqing said his work was nearing completion. It’s been ten days since he said that, so maybe he’s finished and is packing up to come.”

Kang Li said, ”Your son-in-law’s work nature is unique. I imagine it’s hard for him to come.”

Cai Xiufen replied, ”You never know.”

”I’d be thrilled if he could come. But if he can’t, I won’t be disappointed either.” Kang Li smiled calmly, but Cai Xiufen didn’t believe her, ”You’re pretending. I bet if Yanqing doesn’t come, you’ll secretly grumble.”

”Mom, you shouldn’t talk about your daughter like that. I have the heart of a prime minister, broad and generous!”

Kang Li said with a playful smile.

Unexpectedly, Cai Xiufen didn’t respond, instead switching the topic, ”On New Year’s Eve, Comrade Wen and his wife were talking about divorcing for some reason. Your sister-in-law and I overheard a bit in the yard.”

”Comrade Wen is a nice person.”

Hearing Kang Li say this, Cai Xiufen nodded, ”Like Yanqing, he doesn’t talk much, but he usually has a smile when he sees people, making him seem more approachable than Yanqing.”

”Are you disliking your son-in-law?”

Kang Li raised an eyebrow.

Cai Xiufen glared, ”No way, when did I ever dislike him? I just said that Yanqing doesn’t smile often, which makes him feel a bit cold and unapproachable, making it hard to make friends.”

”With work every day, does your son-in-law need to make friends?” Kang Li dismissively said, ”Besides, with time to make friends, your son-in-law would rather spend it with your darling daughter.”

”Your skin is getting thicker.”

Cai Xiufen looked at her with affection and couldn’t help but laugh.

”No way?! Your daughter is the shyest of all, which shows I have thin skin!” Saying this, Kang Li almost disgusted herself with her sickly sweet talk, hugged herself, shivered, and made a funny face at Cai Xiufen.

”You, how old are you, still like a child!”

Though it sounded like a scolding, the tone was full of tenderness.

”In front of mom, I’m still a child!”

Kang Li boasted proudly, seeing Cai Xiufen at her wit’s end, she couldn’t help but raise her chin, ”Am I not?”

”Yes, yes, yes.” Cai Xiufen said, both helpless and amused. She got up, ”It’s getting late, you should go to bed early.”

It was already close to nine-thirty in the evening.

”Goodnight, mom!”

Kang Li waved her hand.

Cai Xiufen acknowledged with a hum and left Kang Li’s bedroom.

In the country.

Around noon, Luo Yanqing finally completed the project he was working on.

”Are you sure you want to go?”

Director Song asked Luo Yanqing.

”We agreed on this from the start.”

Luo Yanqing replied indifferently, locking eyes with Director Song, ”You won’t approve?”

”Not exactly.” Director Song shook his head, his expression serious, ”Your identity is quite particular, you know that without me having to say it.”
