Luo Yanqing hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe away Kang Liâs tears, his dark eyes filled with anxiety and unease, his mouth kept calling out Kang Liâs nickname.
"I donât want you to care, stay away from me!"
Kang Li raised her hand to push the man away, turning her head aside to prevent him from wiping her tears, and said, "Fool, why do I have to visit a fool? Why do I have to feel sorry for a fool? Work is important, but isnât health important too? I regret it, I shouldnât have come this time..."
No matter what, the tears wouldnât stop. Kang Li didnât want to cry, but the tears fell like broken beads.
"What do I mean to you? Am I nothing to you?"
Luo Yanqing listened to Kang Liâs words, a dull pain spreading through his heart. Ignoring her struggle, he tightly embraced her, "Who said that? Youâre my wife, the person I like, more important to me than my own life! Believe me, Li Bao, between you and me, you mean far more than my life..."
"You say nice things, but then why donât you take a break? Why do you insist on staying when everyone else in the team is on vacation? Why do you sabotage your own health?
Do you want me to become a widow? Raise Ruirui and the others by myself? Am I your hired caretaker, rather than your lifelong partner?"
These words might sound melodramatic, but Kang Li couldnât care less, she just wanted to vent her emotions, otherwise, she would truly feel heartbroken for this silly man!
"Caretaker? Li Bao, you canât say that, you shouldnât demean yourself. Youâre the woman I love, the partner I want to spend my life with... Iâm not taking a break because I want to finish the project quickly, so that I can spend more time with you..."
"Thatâs not true, you want to achieve results quickly because the country needs it, itâs not because you want to spend more time with me... But have you thought about it? If you really work yourself into exhaustion, what will I do?
What about Ruirui and the others? Iâve told you more than once about balancing work and rest, about taking care of yourself, about eating on time. Why wonât you listen to me?"
"I am resting, Li Bao. I have listened to you, Iâm not skipping meals, Iâm not working day and night. Believe me, I want to grow old with you, how could I fall halfway and leave you alone?"
Kissing away the tears on Kang Liâs face, Luo Yanqingâs phoenix eyes were full of deep affection.
"What are you doing?"
Kang Li pushed the man away again.
To her surprise, Luo Yanqing directly kissed her lips.
He wrapped one arm around her while the other pressed against the back of her head, kissing her until she almost became limp in his arms.
When the kiss ended, as Kang Li looked at him deeply, she casually smacked his left arm, then complained angrily, "Kissing me without warning, youâre asking for a punch."
She put some force behind it, and although there was no visible change on Luo Yanqingâs face, the Kang Family felt a sting on her hand, suggesting she had hit quite hard.
For a moment, she was both annoyed and heartbroken, but her expression remained puffed up with anger.
"Does it hurt?"
But her actions betrayed her, as she moved closer to him, rubbed the spot sheâd hit, then stood on her tiptoes to plant a light kiss on his handsome face, asking again, "Does it hurt?"
Luo Yanqing curved his lips into a smile and shook his head, "It doesnât. If my wife is still upset, you can continue, even if itâs hitting my face, it doesnât matter."
"Fool!"
