<strong>Chapter 368: Chapter 368: I Didn’t Protect You Well</strong>
Mrs. Shen’s heart leapt with joy. She asked, “Are you nning to change Jian’s Chinese name?”
“No. Besides, changing names now would seem too deliberate. We can talk about itter,” Shen Yun shook her head. After a moment of silence, she spoke, “Luo Yanqing probably already thinks the worst of me. Before I give Jian a new Chinese name, let’s just call him Jian at home.”
Mrs. Shen naturally had no objection.
“You should rest for a while, I’ll go make us lunch.”
“Mm.”
Shen Yun nodded.
The bedroom door opened and closed, and once Shen Yun was alone, jealousy gradually showed on her face.
Yes, she was jealous of Kang Li, jealous that the person she had yearned for had be another woman’s husband, but she was very clear that aside from jealousy, there was nothing she could do.
Because she didn’t want to be detestable, didn’t want to stand in front of the mirror and not recognize herself.
Approaching evening, Kang Li woke up.
Luo Yanqing, focused on a book in his hand, was sitting in a chair. But at the slightest noise from the bed, he immediately looked up, and seeing Kang Li sit up, he put down the book and approached her, “You’re awake?! How do you feel?”
“Mm.”
Kang Li nodded lightly and asked, “What time is it?” The sky outside the window had darkened, she hadn’t expected to sleep until now.
“Quarter past six.”
Luo Yanqing looked at the time on his wristwatch and answered.
Not seeing the triplets, Kang Li couldn’t help asking, “Where are the kids?”
Luo Yanqing: “They’re ying in their own rooms.”
Kang Li then asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”
Luo Yanqing: “Seeing you sleep so soundly, godfather and godmother brought a lot of cooked dishes over for us at noon. I set aside some for Luo Mingrui and the others to have for lunch with rice; tonight I made porridge and steamed buns, and they’ve already eaten.”
“That’s good.” Kang Li smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help asking, “You didn’t go back to the office this afternoon, did it dy your work?”
Luo Yanqing shook his head: “Work is important, but it can wait. Besides, I wasn’tfortable just leaving when you weren’t feeling well.”
Kang Li felt a warmth in her heart but still couldn’t help but show an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry.”
Touching her head, Luo Yanqing’s lips curled into a slight arc, “No need for apologies with me. Besides, it’s my fault for not protecting you well, for making you have to stand up for yourself. If anyone should be saying sorry, it should be me.”
His gesture of patting her head was so natural and automatic, yet when Luo Yanqing realized what he had done, the tips of his ears couldn’t help but flush with heat, especially when he caught Kang Li’s sharp foxlike gaze. He averted their eyes, clearing his throat casually twice and said, “You sit for a bit, I’ll go serve you dinner.”
With that, he practically flew out the room door.
Seeing this, Kang Li was first stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but “snicker” withughter.
It was just a pat on the head, and she didn’t think much of it. Why did he suddenly be ufortable, hurrying away as if chased by a dog?
A small bowl of jujube and millet porridge, two kid-sized steamed buns, and a te of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
“I’ll just have some porridge.”
Kang Li didn’t touch the buns or the stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
“You didn’t eat at noon.”
Luo Yanqing frowned, pushing the te with the buns and stir-fried bamboo shoots meat a bit closer to Kang Li, “The buns are small. Eat one and have some vegetables.”
Now Kang Li was sitting by the dining table in the living room eating.
Hearing his mother’s voice, Xiao Ming Rui and the two other kids burst out of their room in an instant. Now, they were seated on the sofa with curved eyes and brows, watching television and at the same time, watching their parents’ interactions.
“Mommy should listen to Daddy, okay!”
