Chapter 1827: Chapter 1339: Dissatisfaction (Part 2)

Xiao Jin looked gentle, but Ming Rui didn’t reach out to take it. Seeing this, before Kang Li and Luo Yanqing could say anything, Xiao Shen spoke up: "Ruirui!"

Ming Rui looked at Xiao Shen, and the latter said: "Take it!"

Ming Rui said nothing and turned his gaze to Kang Li and Luo Yanqing.

Both Kang Li and Luo Yanqing nodded.

"Thank you!"

Retracting his gaze, Ming Rui accepted the red envelope that Xiao Jin handed over to him, and at the same time, he directed his gaze towards Father and Mrs. Xiao: "Thank you!"

Father Xiao smiled: "Good child, no need to be so formal with Grandpa Xiao."

"Dad, Mom, shall we go?"

After bidding farewell to Kang Li and Luo Yanqing and saying a few words to Xiao Shen, Xiao Jin gathered their children and bade Father and Mrs. Xiao to head home.

"Okay."

Father and Mrs. Xiao responded, and the group got into Father Xiao’s special car. A moment later, the car drove off.

After the parents, elder brothers, nephews, and nieces left, Xiao Shen, along with his son Loh En and Elder Loh, also said goodbye to Kang Li’s family.

...

Luo Yanqing didn’t return to the courtyard home. After seeing off all the guests, he took a car back to the research institute with Director Song. After all, his project was at a critical development stage. Being able to take time off to attend his son’s celebration party was no small feat. If he let the entire afternoon slip away, it would be hard for Luo Yanqing to justify.

"Is Mom unhappy?"

Ming Wei entered Kang Li’s room, blinking as she carefully observed Kang Li’s facial expression.

"Why do you ask?"

Kang Li slightly raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Dad didn’t even come home but went straight back to work..."

Ming Wei’s voice grew smaller, trailing off by the end. Hearing this, Kang Li laughed and said: "Since you already know why your dad didn’t come home, do you think Mom is unreasonable?"

Ming Wei shook her head without hesitation: "No, Mom is the most understanding!"

"In that case, why should I be angry?"

Kang Li shook her head gently, her gaze soft and doting: "Alright, you’re not very big, but you sure worry a lot. Mom truly isn’t upset. After all, your dad is working for the country’s benefit. If I got upset over that, not only would it seem irrational to others, but I would even despise myself."

"As long as Mom isn’t upset."

Ming Wei wrapped her arm around Kang Li’s and asked with a sweet smile: "There’s still some time before school starts, Mom. Are we just going to stay home the whole time?"

"Do you want to go out and play?"

Kang Li smiled at Ming Wei.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Ming Wei nodded enthusiastically.

"Then have you figured out where you want to go?"

Kang Li asked. In response, Ming Wei shook her head: "I’ll listen to Mom. Wherever you say to go, we’ll go."

Kang Li pinched Ming Wei’s nose and said: "You’re smart!"

After a brief pause, Kang Li said: "Then let’s go to Kunming."

Ming Wei’s eyes lit up: "Kunming? Mom, is it fun there?"

"You’ll find out whether it’s fun or not once you go. Kunming is warm all year round, with summer temperatures generally not exceeding 30°, earning it the nickname ’Spring City.’ It’s a great place for a summer getaway."

Kang Li smiled, her eyes twinkling: "Let’s set off in a couple of days, the day after tomorrow we’ll leave. I’ll give your great-grandfather a call later to see if he wants to join us."

"How about you call him now?"

Ming Wei said as she stood up and took the phone off the nightstand for Kang Li. Seeing this, Kang Li took the phone and dialed. A moment later, the call connected, and hearing Jiang Hongfa’s voice, she directly mentioned the plan to visit Kunming.

Jiang Hongfa had no objections and insisted on accompanying them, saying he would make the arrangements.

"Won’t that be too tiring for you?"

Kang Li didn’t want Jiang Hongfa to go to any trouble.

"No, don’t worry. Grandfather just needs to give a command, and everything for our Kunming trip will be arranged perfectly."

Hearing Jiang Hongfa say this, Kang Li could only say: "Alright then, I’ll follow Grandfather’s plan."

This time, Kang Li and Ming Wei didn’t mention inviting Jiang Boya to Kunming, as Jiang Boya was currently abroad.

In fact, according to Jiang Boya’s schedule, she was supposed to return to the country two days ago to attend the celebration party that Kang Li organized for Ming Rui. But just before she set off, a major project collaboration required her personal involvement, forcing Jiang Boya to continue staying abroad.

"Mom..."

After ending the call with Jiang Hongfa, Kang Li heard Ming Wei’s voice and couldn’t help but ask: "What’s wrong?"

"Ms. Feng didn’t show up at the hotel today. It might have something to do with the Feng family, right?"

There was no doubt that the ’Ms. Feng’ Ming Wei mentioned referred to Feng Lu, her biological mother.

"..."

Kang Li remained silent. After a moment, she said: "Regarding that, Mom really doesn’t know. But why did you suddenly think of bringing up Ms. Feng?"

"She loves to stir up trouble. I thought on a day like today, she’d surely make an appearance and cause some discomfort for everyone."
