Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Lu Chi Leaves (Part 1)
Li Tingyan originally had a ten-day leave, but because he successfully reported Ning Kun, his superiors gave him an additional five days.
days later is coincidentally the first day of classes at Nianyang University.
He can accompany Nianyang until he sees her off to university. Moreover, the superiors generously provided Li Tingyan with an unexpected benefit.
This benefit is related to Nianyang, but the situation is still unclear. Once itâs approved, Li Tingyan will give Nianyang a surprise.
The Big Courtyard is located in the prime, heavily-protected Golden Triangle area of Pingjing, which is home to prominent figures of the city.
Nianyang and Li Tingyan still need to take a bus to the train station, then travel three hours by train to reach there.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Those who have taken leave have returned home, while those who havenât are watching movies with their families.
Only Xu Zhiyi and Liang Baoguo didnât go home for the New Year.
Knowing that Nianyang and Li Tingyan were leaving, they specially came to see them off.
"Nian girl, are you going with your man to meet his parents today?"
Xu Zhiyi pulled Nianyang aside and asked quietly.
Nianyang, embarrassed, nodded in response to Xu Zhiyiâs teasing gaze. She thought, she hadnât mentioned it, so how did Saozi figure it out?
Ah, this Nianyang is just being silly.
Think about it, itâs New Yearâs; if youâre going with Li Tingyan, where else could you be heading but his house?
Xu Zhiyi laughed, "Donât be shy; as women, we all go through this. Nian girl, I truly see you as a sister, so I have some advice for you!"
"Saozi, just say what you need to say."
"I know your manâs family is influential. His dad runs a private business, an investment firm, and theyâre all intellectuals.
The whole family is capable, and they might be tough to deal with. Remember, speak sweetly; not that you need to curry favor.
After all, your in-laws are the family youâll spend a lifetime with; get along with them.
Especially Li Tingyanâs mom, your future mother-in-law â try to handle her well, so you can establish your place in their family. If things donât work out, just move out with your man. Donât stay there and be mistreated, okay?"
Nianyang nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Saozi."
In-law relationships are delicate; although she hasnât had personal experience, sheâs seen enough Korean dramas to know the routine.
Xu Zhiyi patted Nianyangâs head, "Iâve been through this myself. Itâs all based on my life experience. I know youâre smart and will handle it better."
"Oh, Nian girl, when you get to Beijing District Center, make sure to buy a gift for meeting them, okay?"
"I know that!"
"Alright then, I wonât take up any more of your time. Do come back and see us when you have the chance!"
Nianyang bid farewell to Xu Zhiyi and followed Li Tingyan to the bus stop, only to be blocked by Lu Chi again!
"Nianyang, are you leaving?"
Seeing Lu Chi instantly alerted Li Tingyan. Although he knew there was nothing between his wife and Lu Chi,
thinking about the time theyâve spent together, coming from the same world, made him a bit jealous.
Since no one was around, he assertively put his arm around Nianyangâs shoulder, boasting as he spoke,
"Iâm taking my wife home for New Yearâs, Doctor Lu, do you need something?"
