Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Kang Li, You Can Talk to Me Directly

”I made that mother and son apologize to me and Ruirui and his siblings! But after lunch, the kids were still tearfully feeling wronged...”

Before Kang Li could continue, Luo Yanqing interjected, ”Because of me.” It was not a question, but a statement.

”At least you care a bit about the kids.”

It seemed that this person, though indifferent to everything other than his work, was not completely detached. The fact that he immediately connected the kids’ continued grievances in the afternoon to himself upon her starting the conversation showed that he was aware, or else he wouldn’t have thought of himself right after she began.

However, could he not always speak to her with such a cold, indifferent expression?!

Frowning, Kang Li’s mouth twitched as she wanted to say something more to the man, but seeing his handsome, cold face and his ever-indifferent eyes, along with his reluctance to speak more, she lost the desire to continue the conversation.

Turning over, she lay on her side with her back to him, presenting a beautiful view of the back of her head to him.

Seeing this, a hint of confusion tainted Luo Yanqing’s usually indifferent dark pupils.

Was she angry with him again?

Why?

Luo Yanqing felt increasingly bewildered.

”...Kang Li.”

His voice, low and clear, drifted from behind her. Kang Li heard him but remained motionless and unresponsive.

Luo Yanqing pursed his lips, climbed into bed into his spot, and looked hesitant. He finally spoke again, ”Kang Li, you can talk to me directly.” Don’t just ignore him.

But, Kang Li remained silent, even letting out soft, steady breathing sounds, signaling to someone that she had fallen asleep, requesting not to be disturbed.

”I don’t know why you’re angry with me again, but as long as you speak up, as long as it’s my fault, I’ll change,” Luo Yanqing said, his heart actually filled with bitterness.

He didn’t understand women, even though he had been married before, he still felt alien to the demographic and thus couldn’t comprehend.

Thinking back to that previous marriage, Luo Yanqing almost had no recollection of it, as if it were an experience of someone else’s life.

Completely unrelated to him.

Thinking this way, it wasn’t that Luo Yanqing lacked responsibility or was scum, but that first marriage seemed somewhat absurd.

Officially, it was arranged to settle his lifelong matters, but the woman he married, he had never met before the marriage. The day after their wedding, he returned to his institute to resume work, and on the wedding night... due to being forced to drink a few toasts by colleagues, he only remembered lying in bed at home and then falling into a deep sleep.

And just that night, his wife got pregnant and prematurely gave birth to Luo Mingrui a month early.

He felt nothing about this.

This might be related to his own nature or perhaps his childhood experiences, but in his heart, nothing was more important than work.

He rarely went home throughout the year, stemming from his tendency to completely forget about time when busy, forgetting matters unrelated to work, only wanting to achieve breakthroughs in research, to produce results sooner, and to contribute more to the country, living up to the nation’s cultivation of him.

Even though he seldom went home during that first marriage, his wife got pregnant again after giving birth to Luo Mingrui... According to her, he did take a vacation and returned home during the conception of the second child, but...
