Chapter 829: Chapter 830: Actions Speak Louder Than Words
"Always good at saying nice things, but Iâve never seen you take actual action!"
Nianyang huffed, not wanting to make things difficult for the man, and reluctantly relented, "Alright, alright, I know youâre busy. Iâm just complaining a bit, who asked me to pick someone like you as my partner? I should bear it, but if you canât come to me, can I come see you?"
Li Tingyan replied hoarsely, "Honey, itâs hot right now, better not come. Besides, thereâs so much going on at your store, you canât get away. Wait until I come back and marry you."
Nianyangâs little face instantly fell; something was amiss, her man was definitely acting strange!
If it were before, sheâd say she wanted to see him, and heâd be thrilled. He never refused or considered anything else.
No, thatâs wrong. Even if she didnât say she wanted to see him, with his Charming Skill, heâd find any excuse to persuade her to visit him.
What has changed about Li Tingyan?
Could it be possible that thereâs really a little vixen by his side?
No way!
Li Tingyan loves her so much, he wouldnât betray her.
Nianyang was very sure of Li Tingyanâs feelings for her, without room for doubt. So where is the problem?
She couldnât describe how she felt, her heart was in chaos, like dozens of tangled balls of yarn, and her mind was blank. She knew asking him wouldnât lead to anything, so she hastily said, "Itâs not so easy to marry me, letâs see how you perform. Go on with your work if youâre busy, remember not to smoke behind my back, I can find out."
"..."
Li Tingyanâs lips twitched, he was holding the phone with his right hand, while his left hand had a flickering cigarette between the fingers. Hearing Nianyangâs words, his hand softened, dropping the burning ash onto his hand, making him quickly toss it away.
"Mm, I know, Iâll listen to you, wonât dare to smoke."
The great devil king Li expressed his feigned compliance perfectly.
Nianyang hung up the phone, pressing her heart heavily with worries.
She had a hunch that her man must be facing something.
They once promised each other not to hide anything from each other.
He wouldnât lie to her, so whatâs really happening to him?
Perhaps only a trip to Jiangcheng could give Nianyang the answers.
Yes, just a secret visit to see what her man is really up to.
Unbeknownst to her, on the other side of the phone, the man was holding his phone, his expression turning cold and somber. The warmth from a moment ago disappeared. Most of the time had already passed, he couldnât waste any more time, he must hurry to resolve the matters at hand to reunite with his wife.
Returning to the dormitory hall with a heavy face, the few brothers he brought along were sprawled casually on the floor, gathered around the table, buzzing with excitement while cooking a hotpot.
Seeing Li Tingyan come in, Xiao Wu held up a spicy tripe and said, "Boss Li, we saved this for you, come and eat."
A group of rugged men didnât care about the mess, everywhere was covered in gutter oil, the pot was in absolute chaos.
If it were before, Li Tingyan wouldnât have been picky, he could eat a bun dropped in the mud without changing his expression. But ever since having a wife, the fierce demon king became a refined little fairy, and under the premise of having standards, he wouldnât wrong himself a bit.
So Li Tingyan sneered disdainfully, took off his cap brim, "No need, you guys eat."
Monkey, with lips reddened and swollen from the spice, mumbled, "Boss Li is becoming more and more like a woman now. Back when we didnât have options, we ate whatever. After having Saozi, the whole person became delicate."
