Chapter 237: Chapter 238: Honeyed Words
"Brother Li, youâre really good at sweet-talking." Nianyang poked his firm chest, looking disdainful, but feeling very sweet inside.
She knew that Li Tingyan never lied, and whatever he said was always sincere.
"Actually, in the end, itâs because Iâm not strong enough." Nianyang sighed, "If I had a big enough backing and connections, Ni Jia wouldnât have been able to scheme against me, and no one else would think Iâm not worthy of you!"
This incident served as a wake-up call for Nianyang. Her current power was still too insignificant. She had been solely focused on how to promote and expand traditional Chinese medicine, but she neglected her own qualifications, which were not yet sufficient to act at will.
For instance, if someone wanted to take her down, just one statement about her lacking a medical license could easily overthrow her. If she had her own influence, who would dare to make a move against her?
Moreover, Nianyang had had enough of people always looking at her as if she wasnât worthy of Li Tingyan. She didnât care much about status and fame before, only believing that true mutual affection was the real truth.
But she didnât expect it would give a third party a chance to exploit. It seemed that fate was forcing her to strive hard like in a previous life and build a business empire.
Li Tingyan looked at Nianyang and spoke, "Nini, youâre wrong. How can you say you donât have a backing and connections? Your greatest support is me!"
Nianyang was stunned, and Li Tingyan pinched her cheek, "Who do you think Iâm working so hard for? Itâs to quickly become strong and spoil my wife, making sure no one dares to say anything, alright? Nini, just wait for me, in no more than four years, I will become strong and protect you from whatever the world throws at you, hmm?"
Nianyangâs eyes suddenly reddened, "Alright, when you become the chairman, Iâll rely on you to protect me. By then, can I do whatever I want?"
"You can walk however you like, and if you donât like someone, Iâll deal with them for you!"
"But I canât go too far." Nianyang chuckled, "The higher you stand, the less you can act on impulse, to avoid leaving behind any weaknesses!"
She couldnât rely too much on a man. Besides, Tingyanâs career wasnât easy to build either; she had to work hard as well to make his path smoother.
"My Nini will definitely be the best supportive wife in the future." Li Tingyan said with a smile.
Nianyang felt that this kind of feeling was really nice right now. Being unconditionally cherished was the happiest thing. She said softly,
"You know, Ah Yan, just now I really felt helpless. I thought I might die there, but I wasnât scared. What I feared was not seeing you before I died, but thankfully, you came."
Hearing his wifeâs aggrieved voice, Li Yama regretted it. He shouldnât have been so soft-hearted to let Ni Heng and Ni Jia go; he should have finished them off.
Li Tingyan held the girlâs hand tightly in his palm, pressing it against his chest, and whispered, "Nini, Iâm sorry I came late. Iâll never let you feel helpless again."
Nianyang rested in his arms, her nose filled with the unique scent of the man, and she couldnât help but take a deep breath, her voice gradually lowering,
"Itâs not late at all, as long as you come, the time is just right..."
The night was quiet, with the soft sound of breathing in sleep, the two of them embraced and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Nianyang was still asleep. Li Tingyanâs biological clock woke him early, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to call his superior to report Ni Jiaâs evil deeds.
