?Chapter 191: Chapter 191: I’m Here to Take You Home Chapter 191: Chapter 191: I’m Here to Take You Home Kang Li thought about going to the courtyard gate to see if Luo Yanqing had returned, but just as he stepped out of the living room, he faintly heard a familiar female voiceing from the yard of the neighboring Wen Siyuan’s house.
As Luo Yanqing approached themon wall between the two properties, he confirmed and was certain he had not misheard, and as he discerned what his young wife was saying, his expression instantly turned cold.
Without further consideration, he headed towards the gate.
“Alright, I’ll go and have a talk with my sister-inw…” Wen Siyuan, enduring the embarrassment, managed to maintain a polite and gentle smile as he revealed that Su Man had been gossiping idly at home. He then recounted how his daughter Wen Yue had overheard those idle words, quite unexpectedly causing a significant uproar over what had been merely a few passing remarks.
After listening, Kang Li finally turned his gaze towards Su Man, “Comrade Su, we have no grudge against each other, so why do you nder me behind my back? After all, since I arrived at thispound, we hardly exchanged words, right?”
“Comrade Kang, why must you be so serious? I was just idly chatting at home out of boredom, is there a need for you toe and confront me personally over this?
Moreover, my daughter Wen Yue is still young; she’s naive and spread those few words I mentioned, which isn’t something I wanted to happen. But since it’s already out there, isn’t an apology sufficient?”
Su Man showed no remorse, with an air of someone unfazed even by boiling water, locking eyes with Kang Li.
“You were just idly discussing me at home? Comrade Su, then tell me, what gave you the impression that I dislike peopleing to watch TV at my home? And what made you think I get annoyed when I see peoplee over to watch TV?”
Questioned by Kang Li repeatedly, Su Man was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Comrade Su, do you enjoy seeing me judged by others in thepound with prejudice?”
“Comrade Kang, don’t falsely use me, when have I ever said such a thing?”
“You didn’t say it outright, but you know what you think in your heart. Otherwise, why harbor malice toward me? We aren’t close, and we have no dealings with each other, so why target me like this?”
Just as Kang Li finished speaking, Wen Siyuan’s gaze suddenly fell on the courtyard gate, and he stepped down from the living room’s threshold to greet the visitor, “You’re here to pick up your sister-inw, right? I’ve already exined the situation to her. It was my Xiao Su’s fault for carelessly talking nonsense at home, which led to Yueyue overhearing and spreading it…”
The person who had arrived at the Wen Family Courtyard was none other than Luo Yanqing. He seemed as if he hadn’t noticed Wen Siyuan, walking straight up to Kang Li’s side. Then with an exceptionally indifferent look in his Phoenix Eyes, he stared at Su Man for a moment and said without a trace of emotion, “I hope there won’t be a next time.”
Yet his demeanor almost caused Su Man to lose her bnce and fall, and it tightened Wen Siyuan’s chest even more, increasing his dissatisfaction with his wife, Su Man.
Paying no mind to whatever expressions the Wen couple had or what they were thinking, Luo Yanqing’s indifferent Phoenix Eyes softened as he turned to Kang Li and said, “I’vee to take you home.”
Kang Li murmured a word of acknowledgment and walked alongside Luo Yanqing, talking quietly, as they left the Wen Family Courtyard.
“How did you know I was next door?”
“I happened to hear your voice while I was in the yard.”
Blinking her fox-like eyes, Kang Li tilted her head and asked, “You’re not mad at me, are you?”
Luo Yanqing: “…” Why would he be angry with her? She hadn’t done anything wrong.
To take a step back, even if she had made a mistake, it would be his fault for not understanding her enough, for not being there when she needed him, leading her to make a mistake.
