Chapter 602: Chapter 603: Her Origins 5
Li Tingyan called for Nianyang several times outside the door, but there was no response. He left dejectedly and was stopped by Shang Wan before he returned to his room, asking what was going on between him and Nianyang.
"You brat, did you do something to upset Yangyang? Yangyang has such a good temper, and youâve pushed her to this point. Iâm telling you, you better not lose such a good daughter-in-law, or thereâll be consequences for you."
Li Tingyan felt helpless dealing with both his wife and his mother. As an injured person, he felt he had no status at all, and he sighed before explaining the whole situation to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan was stunned, and then she knocked Li Tingyan on the head with her finger, "You idiot, getting married is such a big deal, and you dared to make decisions without consulting her first. See what youâve done now?"
Li Tingyan looked at his mom, "Mom, what do you think Nini is angry about? Itâs not like we werenât getting married eventually."
"Youâre such a fool; itâs clear you donât understand women!"
Shang Wan lectured him, "Women are very emotional, especially when it comes to marriage. They take it very seriously, and you went behind her back to submit the marriage application without saying a wordâthatâs disrespecting her, how could she not be angry?"
Was it really that serious?
Li Tingyan got scared and immediately grabbed Shang Wanâs hand like it was a lifeline, "Mom, what should I do? Nini wonât talk to me and says she wonât marry me. Iâm really worried, you have to give me some advice, or youâll lose your daughter-in-law!"
"Look at you being all anxious. Iâm your mom; of course, Iâll help you." Shang Wan glared at Li Tingyan, although inwardly she felt amused. It seemed that Nianyang was truly a blessing to the Li Family, not only making Li Tingyan more lively but also bringing her closer to her son.

Nianyang was sulking in her room, and when Li Tingyan called out a few times and then left, she became even more upset.
See how easily he stopped trying to comfort me; once a man gets what he wants, he stops cherishing it.
Nianyang was so angry she fell asleep, and when she woke up and opened the door, she was startled to see a man lying by the door.
"Li Tingyan, what are you doing here?"
Li Tingyan rubbed his eyes, sounding a bit dazed, "Wife, I was waiting for you."
Nianyang rubbed her forehead and helped him up to sit in the room.
"Donât tell me youâve been waiting here all night?"
Li Tingyanâs eyes flashed as he nodded guiltily.
"Are you crazy? Your injury isnât healed and youâre just wandering aroundâwho gave you the nerve?"
"You wouldnât talk to me, and I wanted to be close to you, so I had no choice but to wait outside."
Li Tingyan looked pitiful, and Nianyangâs anger vanished instantly.
With a stern face, she took out the medical kit and changed the dressing on Li Tingyanâs leg. Luckily, it hadnât worsened, or sheâd have gone crazy.
Li Tingyan held Nianyangâs hand, and she didnât pull away. Cautiously, he asked, "Wife, are you not angry anymore?"
Nianyang was naturally soft-hearted, and he hadnât committed a huge mistake, combined with his sincerityâher anger had completely dissipated.
But she couldnât show it too easily; otherwise, he might not take her seriously. So she maintained a stern face and nodded, "Just a little bit."
Li Tingyan held her hand, placing it on his face, "Wife, Iâm sorry. It wasnât right to keep it from you, very disrespectful of me. I promise I wonât do it again."
Nianyang was completely softened, gently saying, "Once you have your sutures removed tomorrow, weâll go get the marriage certificate."
Li Tingyan was so excited he almost jumped up, hugging his wife tightly. He truly loved her dearly.
She appeared tough on the outside but was incredibly soft-hearted and easy to appease. His momâs strategy of feigning distress was truly ingenious.
Outside the door, Shang Wan smiled with satisfactionâthe older, indeed, the wiser.
