?Chapter 140: Chapter 140 I Understand Chapter 140: Chapter 140 I Understand Kang Li’s expression faltered slightly, she never expected that the elderly man before her and the kind Mrs. Qi wanted to recognize her as their goddaughter.
Luo Yanqing’s clear, indifferent voice arose, “Uncle Song and Auntie Qi are very nice people.”
“Xiao Kang, you don’t have to feel troubled. If you’re unwilling, Uncle Song and Auntie Qi won’t me you. After all, it’s we old folks who want to recognize you as our goddaughter. It’s because we like you and want to establish a bond with you, but we will absolutely not force you,” he said.
s, the young girl has a father and a mother, a bunch of brothers, and she is the only female child in the Kang family up to the third generation, deeply cherished at home. Probably… probably she won’t fancy having another godfather and godmother?
Elder Song’s understanding of Kang Li undoubtedly came from Director Wu.
Therefore, how much the Kang family adored Kang Li, how meticulously Elder Song knew, was unclear, but he was aware that for the family, Kang Li had always been a treasured, doted-on daughter.
As Elder Song secretly felt a sense of loss, Kang Li’s clear, pleasant voice broke through, “Uncle Song, could you allow me to consider it? Also, I need to inform my family about this and see what their thoughts are.”
The sense of loss that had welled up in Elder Song’s heart instantly dissipated. His eyes brightened, and he said very straightforwardly, “Of course, of course. You should talk to your family and see what they think.”
At that moment, Elder Song knew that there was at least a fifty-fifty chance of making Kang Li his goddaughter.
Because the person involved clearly hadn’t rejected the idea outright, it seemed she probably wasn’t opposed to having an additional set of elders.
As evening approached, Kang Li made a call to the Team Leader’s office in her hometown, telling Captain Kang about Elder Song and Mrs. Qi’s wish to recognize her as their goddaughter. Cai Xiufen, upon hearing that her precious daughter was calling, went with Captain Kang to the Team Leader’s office to take the call.
Without much discussion, Captain Kang replied to Kang Li that, in North City, recognizing Elder Song and his wife as godparents was like gaining additional support, and as for the responsibilities that a goddaughter should bear in the future, Captain Kang also reminded Kang Li to remember, to care for them both, just as she would respect her own parents at home, to honor Elder Song and Mrs. Qi.
After bathing and freshening up, Kang Li entered the master bedroom and saw Luo Yanqing leaning back on the bed reading a book, and casually spoke, “My parents have no objections to Uncle Song and Auntie Qi wanting to recognize me as their goddaughter. What about you? What do you think?”
Luo Yanqing replied, “I think it’s quite good.”
Kang Li asked, “So you mean to say, you also have no objections?”
Luo Yanqing confirmed, “Mhm.”
Kang Li warned, “Then you’d better listen well. Once I agree, then Uncle Song and Auntie Qi won’t just be my godparents, Kang Li’s godparents. The responsibility and the duties to be borne in the future will also rest on more than just my shoulders.”
It wasn’t a big deal for her to take care of two elderly people and a little one in the future, but she needed to make things clear beforehand with the man before her. After all, they were husband and wife, and naturally, they had to confront issues together to avoid rifts between them, making life difficult to sustain in the long run.
Without hesitation, Luo Yanqing responded, “I understand.” Not to mention other things, just the several years of kindness from Director Song and his wife toward him, if they had any issues in the future, he would not stand by idly.
Now, merely adding the title of godson-inw had no significant impact on him. On the contrary, it would make caring for them in the future more justified, sparing him from usations of harboring ulterior motives.
—Such as coveting the wealth of the two elders.
