?Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Trust   Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Trust                                   Before their nap, Kang Li sat in the children’s room, her gaze tender, a faint smile on her lips, as she asked Xiao Ming Rui and the twins.


    Hearing her, the twins looked simultaneously toward their brother Ming Rui.


    It was their brother who had told them not to tell their mother, saying she was already taking too much care of them, and they shouldn’t bother her with such trifle matters.


    Xiao Ming Rui did not look at his younger siblings; he hung his head, lips tightly pressed, showing no intention of speaking.


    “Is it that you don’t want to say, or you don’t want to trouble mom?”


    When Kang Li said this, especially thetter half, the twins’ eyes lit up. Seeing this, a warmth stirred in Kang Li’s heart, and she softly said, “Mom knows you don’t want to trouble her, but if you don’t speak up, mom will be very worried, won’t eat well, won’t sleep well, and could easily get sick.”


    The twins, anxious, looked again towards their brother Ming Rui.


    Xiao Ming Rui then lifted his head, looking at Kang Li, his eyes filled with hesitation and concern.


    He hesitated whether to speak up, concerned that if he and his siblings kept silent, their new mom might fall ill.


    “Mom, I’ll talk.”


    Xiao Ming Han did not want his mom to get sick; he stopped looking at his brother and with his tender voice said, “My siblings and I went out to y, and nobody would y with us. My sister and I asked why, and they said because mom hates when theye to our house to watch TV, and then they didn’t want to y with us anymore.”


    Xiao Ming Wei said, “Mom, Vivi and big brother and second brother know mom never said such things, so we told them that mom doesn’t mind theming over to watch TV, but they wouldn’t believe it.”


    Kang Li’s gaze turned to Xiao Ming Rui, “Ruirui, is there anything else you want to add to what your siblings have said?”


    With his lips tightly pressed, after a while, Xiao Ming Rui shook his head.


    Kang Li said, “Alright, mom knows what you said, now it’s time for you guys to take a good nap.”


    “Mom, they are bad kids, spreading rumors about mom. My siblings and I don’t even care to y with them.” Xiao Ming Han settled into bed, bbering, “Hanhan’s mom is the best mom in the world; they wronged mom, Hanhan hates them, doesn’t want to be friends with them anymore.”


    Xiao Ming Wei said, “Vivi also doesn’t want to be friends with them anymore.”


    Kang Li’s eyes were gentle: “Alright, there is a saying ‘A clean hand wants no washing.’ Since you know mom never said those things, there’s no need for you to be upset yourself. Also, mom is very pleased that you trust her! Now, close your eyes, mom will read you a story.”


    Opening the children’s bedtime storybook she was holding, Kang Li’s melodic voice slowly filled the room as she read the story engagingly, and Xiao Ming Rui and the twins gradually fell into a deep sleep.


    As she closed the storybook, Kang Li stood up, ced the storybook on the desk by the window, and then quietly exited the room.


    “Ruirui and the others are asleep. I need to go out for a bit now, could you keep a closer eye on them at home?”


    Knocking on the door of the study, Kang Li looked at the man standing before her, thought for a moment, but ultimately decided not to tell him why she needed to go out.


    Yanqing asked, “To godfather and godmother’s ce?”


    Kang Li replied… “Hmm.” Known for his low EQ but certainly not for acking IQ, Yanqing easily noticed the subtleties that most might miss in people or matters, just like now. Even though Kang Li appeared normal, Yanqing clearly saw her moment of hesitation and knew she probably wasn’t heading to the Song Family but had other matters to attend to.
