Chapter 866: Chapter 867: Fooling Around with Other Women
Li Tingyan was utterly helpless. Wasnât his wife the one who wanted to leave just yesterday?
Well, this was what Li Tingyan didnât get. Women, you know, always say the opposite of what they mean. When theyâre mad, they talk without thinking. But a man has to remember this: when your woman says she wants to go, you canât agree, you can only try to keep her.
Clearly, Li â Steel-Straight-Guyâ Tingyan still hadnât grasped this truth at this very moment. He just let Nianyang vent on him and said gently, "Nini, donât overthink it. Iâm sending you away only because itâs not suitable for you to stay here for now."
If he wanted to confirm whether Yin Tang was actually that Phoenix, he had to continue getting in contact with her. He definitely wouldnât do anything that would wrong Nianyang. After all, if Yin Tang was Phoenix, sheâd be old enough to be his mother. At most, theyâd just talk and laugh a little. But if Nianyang were here, he wouldnât be able to act freely at all, and he was also afraid sheâd feel hurt seeing it.
Better to send Nianyang away, wait until this matter was resolved, then explain everything to her properly. Nianyang would definitely understand.
Nianyang let out a cold laugh. "Not suitable for me to stay here? What, are you afraid Iâll get in the way of you and Yin Tang whispering sweet nothings to each other?"
"Nini..."
"Iâm telling you, Li Tingyan, if you want me to go, fine. But you have to come with me. The Escort Agency doesnât have only one leader. No matter what your reason is, someone else can handle this job. I just donât want you doing it. Otherwise I have every right to suspect youâre using this as an excuse to openly carry on an affair with Yin Tang behind my back!"
Li Tingyan didnât speak, but his attitude clearly showed he didnât agree with what Nianyang said. Nianyangâs heart went icy cold. She snorted and said, "Then Iâm not leaving. Iâm staying right here to see what exactly youâre going to do."
Maybe she still felt a bit unwilling, maybe she hadnât completely given up on Li Tingyan yet. So she had to stay and see just how far he would go before sheâd leave.
In this whole thing, the one in the wrong was Li Tingyan. Why should she be the one to leave? If she left, sheâd basically be clearing the field so her own man could flirt with another woman. She couldnât swallow that kind of humiliation.
Li Tingyan stood up and looked down at Nianyang from above. "Whether you leave or not is for me to decide. You canât use your space right now, and an arm canât twist a thigh. Tomorrow morning Iâll personally send you away."
So he meant he was going to force her to leave?
Nianyang was shaking with anger, pointing at Li Tingyan. "Good for you, Li Tingyan, youâve really grown some guts, huh? You actually dare treat me like this now. Iâm breaking up with you."
Li Tingyan said expressionlessly, "Whether we break up or not is not for you to decide. I was the one who gave you the chance to be with me back then, and you agreed yourself. You chose to be with me, so whether we break up will be decided by me. In my life, the only ending is widowhood."
"Youâ!"
Nianyangâs chest hurt from rage. She grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him, cursing, "Bastard, you bastard!"
"Get some rest. Breakfast is on the table, donât forget to eat."
As Li Tingyan spoke, he gave Nianyang a deep look, then turned and left.
Nianyang watched him storm out the door, and tears welled up again.
How did it become like this? How did things between her and Li Tingyan turn into this?
He left in such a hurry; he must be going to see Yin Tang again, right?
From what Li Tingyan said, he had his own difficulties for having contact with Yin Tang. Was this about some Escort Agency project? But Nianyang really couldnât figure it out. What kind of project could possibly force a married woman to carry on some clandestine affair with another man?
