Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Promising a Lifetime 8
Li Tingyan burst into a hearty laugh, "Nini, what youâre saying isnât right. Dating without the intention of marriage is just fooling around. Weâre good citizens; we canât be disorderly!"
"Nini, once I finish the contract Iâm working on, Iâll sort out the marriage agreement between you and Zhang Zhiqiang, then propose to your family. Youâre not at marriageable age yet, so we can get engaged first. Once youâre old enough, weâll get our marriage certificate!"
Li Tingyan laid out the future with Nianyang clearly. The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it. He wished Nianyang would grow up a few years immediately so he could marry her right away. Thinking that he had to wait a few more years to officially wed her, Li Tingyan couldnât help but feel anxious.
Ah, the little wife is too young, the big gray wolf wants to eat but canât!
"..."
Nianyang was speechless. She had agreed to him less than a minute ago, right? This man is too eager!
Is he so sure that his feelings will remain unchanged in a few years?
Nianyang smiled and said, "Li Tingyan, thereâs no need to rush the proposal. Since youâve investigated me, you naturally know that thereâs some complexity between my family and me. Honestly, Iâm already planning to split from them. Even if we do get married in the future, it wonât concern them."
"As for the arranged marriage with Zhang Zhiqiang, since Iâve agreed to date you, I certainly wonât maintain the engagement with him. Iâll find a way to break it off, but you donât need to get involved in that, okay?"
Li Tingyan couldnât help but furrow his brow and said, "So youâre saying that, for now, the relationship between us canât be made public?"
Nianyang nodded, "Yes, itâs for your own good. After all, my parents are quite troublesome. If they know youâre my boyfriend, theyâre bound to target you. Youâre a Sea Merchant, and I donât want you to get a bad reputation because of my family, delaying your future. So letâs wait until Iâve sorted out everything Iâm worried about, then weâll talk about the engagement."
Li Tingyan originally thought Nianyang didnât want to be with him, so he felt a bit gloomy.
After hearing her explanation, he smiled happily, sweetly thinking.
Having a girlfriend is really different from being single. With this thoughtful young lady by his side, itâs so heartwarming!
"But Li Tingyan, some ugly words must be said upfront." Nianyang cleared her throat, "Since you know that Iâm different now compared to the past, you need to understand I have a naturally bad temper. To become my man, you must not betray me. In simple terms, you must be loyal to me and not be attracted to other women. Otherwise, I definitely wonât let you off. Although I canât beat you up, Iâm skilled in medicine. I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead. Do you still want to be my man?"
Li Tingyan is very outstanding. His looks and promising future will surely attract countless admirers. Nianyang has no doubt that being with him means facing innumerable competitors.
Nianyang canât control those admirers, but the prerequisite is he must restrain himself, not be tempted by other women, and ensure both his mind and body belong to her.
Our Nianyang is quite domineering, isnât sheïœ
Li Tingyan sensed a kindred spirit in Nianyangâs gaze.
This gave him a slight shock. Initially, he only felt the young lady had a secret. Now it seems there might be more to it?
But since she doesnât tell him, he wonât delve into it!
No matter what mystery she holds, she can only be his wife!
Li Tingyan said in a serious tone, "Comrade Gu Nianyang, please trust me. Since I like you, I will like you for a lifetime, never looking at another woman!"
"Alright, since everythingâs out in the open, let me treat the chill in your leg now. Otherwise, you wonât even be able to walk tonight."
