Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Ning Xia Takes the Stage (1)
Lu Chi added fuel to the fire, "Nianyang, I knew you still have feelings for me. You canât bear to see Li Tingyan act against me, right? After all, weâve risked our lives together so many times, you couldnât possibly be indifferent toward me..."
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camelâs back, driving Li Tingyan completely mad!
Li Tingyanâs eyes were bloodshot, an overwhelming murderous aura erupting from them.
Times like these werenât as open as in later eras; for a woman and a man to risk their lives together, it must mean a deep bond indeed!
These words were bound to be misunderstood!
Nianyang felt that this was not good and hurriedly hugged Li Tingyanâs arm, bulging with veins and ready to strike,
"Ayan, calm down, this is the Escort Agency, assaulting someone without reason is illegal, donât act recklessly!"
Li Tingyanâs eyes seemed ready to shoot flames, "My rival has stomped all over me, declaring dominance, and you damn well want me to calm down?
Gu Nianyang, get out of my way, Iâll settle scores with you later!"
"No way, I wonât let you act so rashly!"
Nianyang was thinking of Li Tingyanâs best interest. He was so young, and many were envious of him. If he really got into trouble with Lu Chi, it would be bad for him.
But in Li Tingyanâs eyes, it seemed that Nianyang was defending Lu Chi!
"Iâll say it again, move away right now, or Iâll deal with you along with him!"
Li Tingyanâs face was as cold as ice, clearly at the brink of an emotional explosion.
"Then you might as well take care of him along with me, I wonât let you go wild!"
"You!"
Li Tingyan was momentarily furious, wanting nothing more than to kill Nianyang on the spot. That damned woman was definitely doing it on purpose, clearly knowing he said those words just to scare her; he could never really hurt her!
This troublesome little wife was precisely taking advantage of his affection for her to act so brazenly!
Li Tingyan glared at Nianyang, who stubbornly refused to speak. Just then, Lu Chi suddenly collapsed behind them, likely overwhelmed by the effect of the alcohol...
Nianyang instinctively turned around, only for her wrist to be grabbed firmly by Li Tingyan, who dragged her away regardless.
When Nianyang came to her senses, she was already pinned beneath the furious man against a sycamore tree in the family compoundâs vegetable garden,
"Thereâs no one around now. Gu Nianyang, you better make a clean confession. Have you talked with Lu Chi before, and why did you lie to me initially saying you werenât familiar with him?"
Nianyang was out of breath from the earlier running. She looked up at him, seeing under the moonlight the terrifying redness in his eyes, and swallowed lightly.
"No, I havenât talked with Lu Chi. Heâs just an ordinary friend to me. The reason I lied to you..."
"Ordinary friend?" Li Tingyan chuckled coldly, his voice icy as if penetrating skin and seeping into the body, sending chills down the spine, "An ordinary friend would know you so well, even your sleeping habits? You two have risked your lives together? Pretty rich emotional world huh?
Didnât you say I was your only man? You were playing me all along!"
"I wasnât playing you. Yes, I admit, I lied to conceal it initially, that was my mistake, I apologize!
Lu Chi and I have known each other for many years as good friends. The reason I didnât tell you the truth is because thereâs a reason I canât disclose!"
