Chapter 963: Chapter 964: I Want a Divorce 17
Nianyang sneered, "When did you ever leave the Cold Palace?"
Li Tingyanâs dark pupils contracted, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly picked up Nianyang and headed to the second floor.
Nianyang was momentarily startled by the sudden lift-off, and then began to struggle, "Li Tingyan, what are you doing? Put me down!"
Li Tingyan had a stern face and clenched his jaw, ignoring Nianyangâs struggles, striding into the room and locking the door with a click.
"Li Tingyan, you bastard!" Nianyang was thrown onto the bed, her eyes red with anger, "People like you arenât suited to me showing you any kindness. Let me tell you, the previous matter isnât over yet, youâd better be well-behaved!"
Li Tingyan sat at the edge of the bed, speaking heavily, "Nini, I just want to have a good talk with you. Things havenât been clearly explained, and youâre not going anywhere."
Nianyang snorted coldly, "Explain what? Iâve already known everything for a long time."
Li Tingyan was taken aback, "Since you already know..."
"You mean to say, I know you deliberately got close to Yin Tang to protect me, so why should I be angry, right?"
Nianyang tugged at her lips, her tone a bit chilly,
"Li Tingyan, I knew youâd think that way. You think youâve done something extraordinary, that everything is for me, enduring humiliation, swallowing grievances alone, and I should be very moved to forgive you, right?"
Li Tingyan silently pressed his lips without speaking.
"See? Youâre always so self-righteous."
Nianyang crossed her arms, "What makes you think that because you do all this for me, I should be moved?
If my safety depends on you risking yourself, do you think I would be happy?"
"Nini, I have no other choice," Li Tingyan slowly said, "The enemy is in the open, Iâm in the dark, I need to lure them out, I hate the dangers surrounding you, I hate that I canât protect you well enough."
"But in the end, you failed," Nianyangâs gaze was lightly mocking,
"Li Tingyan, youâre too arrogant, too selfish. You never consider othersâ feelings, always deciding whatâs best for others from your own standpoint. You think itâs good, but itâs different for others. Such a marriage, I canât accept."
"What do you mean?" Li Tingyanâs throat tightened abruptly.
"Itâs simple, I want a divorce!"
Nianyang declared crisply and decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
"Impossible." Li Tingyanâs eyes turned red, his hands pressing on Nianyangâs shoulders, "Chu Nianyang, have you lost your mind? Do you know what youâre saying? Weâve finally come this far, finally got married, how can you easily say the word divorce? I want you to take back that statement immediately!"
Nianyang looked at his urgent face, smiled vaguely, "Yes, you know too, weâve finally come this far. But why are you never willing to take a step back for me? Why is it always me accommodating you? People say couples act in unison, yet you always exclude me. Do you think youâre fit to be a husband?"
Li Tingyanâs voice tightened, "Nini, youâre wronging me. I didnât exclude you. If it wasnât for you, I wouldnât fight so hard. I want to build you a fortress where you can be fearless, but you know, the process isnât smooth. Iâm not a perfect man, I wonât always succeed, I will also fail, I just failed once, almost lost you, and this is already a lifelong regret for me."
