...Next door.

"Are the kids asleep?"

Hearing Luo Yanqing’s footsteps, Kang Li looked up towards the bedroom door. Seeing Luo Yanqing nod, she pretended to be jealous: "Whenever you come home, Bun and the others cling to you. They’ve stopped asking me to tell them bedtime stories. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel cold."

"The kids want you to have more rest."

Luo Yanqing’s eyes shimmered as he softly said, "I don’t want you to be too tired either."

"But I feel they’re closer to you," Kang Li retorted with a touch of jealousy. "Obviously, I spend more time with them and much more than you."

"Then I’ll talk to them tomorrow."

Picking up the cheerful lingerie and sleepwear Kang Li had prepared, Luo Yanqing laughed as he strode towards the bathroom with his long legs: "If you’re sleepy, go ahead and sleep. I’m going to take a shower."

Kang Li replied, "I’ll wait for you." He still had things to talk to her about, and if she lay down and fell asleep, wouldn’t it be a waste?

With that thought, Kang Li leaned against the headboard and continued reading a foreign book roughly two fingers thick.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and Luo Yanqing returned to the bedroom after showering. Seeing Kang Li so engrossed in her reading, he remarked, "Reading at night is hard on the eyes."

Hearing his voice, Kang Li’s thoughts were pulled away from the pages. She bookmarked the page and placed the book casually on the bedside table beside her: "I was waiting for you."

Unless there’s something urgent, she usually doesn’t stay up late, whether it’s for reading or anything else.

Luo Yanqing sat down on the bed, sounding somewhat resigned: "I know why you were waiting for me."

"Good that you know."

Taking the towel from Luo Yanqing’s hand, Kang Li helped dry his hair: "It’ll still be a while until your hair’s dry, go ahead."

"Do you remember when I asked if I was really foolish?"

Turning towards Kang Li, Luo Yanqing locked eyes with her and took the towel back from her hand as she replied, "Of course I do, but I told you you’re the big smart one in our family."

"You!"

Luo Yanqing tousled Kang Li’s hair gently, his phoenix eyes full of indulgence and softness. He said, "Actually, I really am foolish about certain things..." His expression returned to normal as he pressed his lips together briefly, fell silent for a moment, then continued: "Luo Mingrui and his siblings aren’t of my bloodline."

Hearing that, Kang Li was momentarily stunned but then showed no other change in expression.

Luo Yanqing noticed and asked, "Do you think I’m foolish now?"

"How could my man be foolish?" Kang Li pinched Luo Yanqing’s handsome face on one side, her eyes and brows gentle: "You’ve just invested all your energy into work so other things are inevitably overlooked."

Embracing Kang Li, Luo Yanqing buried his head in her shoulder: "Actually, I started having doubts a long time ago, especially after being with you. I increasingly felt that nothing happened between that woman and me.

But the reality was, during our marriage, I woke up twice to find myself and that woman in the same bed. It was those two times that led to Luo Mingrui and Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei’s siblings...

Before you returned to the country, she had looked for me, and we met once. At that time, she bluntly said that Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei aren’t my children... I asked her for proof?

She said she alone was the proof, claiming she wanted to take the two kids to meet their biological father, saying that Luo Minghan’s father is her current husband... I found it quite ridiculous but felt no significant emotional stir."

Kang Li: "Because you believe what she said?"

Luo Yanqing nodded and said, "Mm," "She has no reason to lie about that in front of me. Years ago, she could force me to let her go, threatening me with her and the unborn children’s lives to make her family beg me, choosing fake death to abandon them, showing that in her heart, the three kids don’t matter at all.

Therefore, to say she wants them back because she misses them after over a decade, I don’t believe it."

"I don’t believe it either."

Kang Li agreed and then said, "So when she told you Hanhan and Vivi aren’t your children, she indeed wasn’t lying. Her desire to have Hanhan and the others back surely ties with her own interests."

Luo Yanqing remained silent, essentially confirming.

"Why didn’t you agree?"

Alright, Kang Li knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from the man’s mouth.

"The kids are good. Although we’re not biologically related, they’ve been under my care since birth and have called me dad for over a decade. I can’t let bloodline be the reason to push them away, especially to such a mother."
