Chapter 810: Chapter 811: Steady and Secure
"Silly wife, what are you imagining?"
Li Tingyan felt bad seeing her like this and gently explained, "Nini, you know, Iâve been promoted too quickly this year and have caused some resentment. Thatâs why I must achieve even greater results to silence those people and secure my current position. Do you understand, hmm?"
Nianyang pouted and snorted, speaking awkwardly,
"I didnât say anything, just donât come back to me half-dead again. I donât want to have to save you anymore!"
"My life belongs to you; I wouldnât dare let it get hurt even a little."
The man lowered his head, his thin lips touched hers, his voice hoarse, "Wife, wait for me to work hard for a few more months. If nothing goes wrong, Iâll be able to stabilize completely."
Nianyang softly hummed, thinking that Li Tingyan still had a crisis awaiting, but thankfully it wouldnât happen soon, so she could relax a bit for now.
She turned her head away to avoid his kiss, "Every time you say this, I no longer want to believe a single word you say."
"No, you have to believe me. In this world, you donât have to believe anyone, but you must believe me."
Li Tingyanâs thin lips were close to her entire earlobe, speaking very dominantly, while kissing her neck, "Nini, when I return, shall we get married? Iâve given you enough time; this time, regardless of anyoneâs opinion, Iâm going to marry you!"
Get married?
That sounds great.
She had been his fiancĂ©e for too long; itâs time to make it official, isnât it?

Li Tingyan left again, for a whole month, all the way to Jiangcheng, which takes two hours by train. So they started a long-distance relationship once more.
For the first few days, they called each other frequently, but later, Li Tingyan stopped answering the phone.
Nianyang thought he was busy, so she didnât care and refrained from disturbing him.
To avoid thinking about him all the time, Nianyang threw herself into her Chinese medicine career. With their orderly management, Tongxin Hallâs business was booming.
Meanwhile, the Li Family encountered an unexpected issue, as Li Dongnan and Sister-in-law Zhang Yunâs cosmetics shop was about to close down.
The reason was that the current cosmetics prices were quite high for ordinary people, unlike the next decade where people were willing to spend money on skincare. Additionally, in the 90s, the range of cosmetics brands was really limited, with only two or three types of facial cleansers.
And the price was very high; most people were content with just applying some snow cream.
Of course, not everyone was frugal; some people were willing to spend money, mainly the wealthy ladies. But in a large city like Pingjing, there couldnât be just one cosmetics shop, and there were high-end options too. Li Dongnan and Zhang Yunâs cosmetics store wasnât high-end, just ordinary, yet their prices were similar to those of higher-end shops.
If you were a customer, on the same price basis, would you choose a high-end, well-known store, or a common, ordinary small shop? The answer is obvious.
So, the business at Brother and Sister-in-lawâs cosmetics shop was gradually declining, with only one or two people visiting each day, mostly introduced by acquaintances.
