Chapter 979: Chapter 1003: Renewed Tensions 3

Nianyang suggested going to see Wen Qingmu’s grave. It was just starting to rain outside, so Li Tingyan went to get her a coat, and then they drove there.

The atmosphere in the cemetery is always heavy, with family members coming to pay their respects at every turn. Nianyang followed Li Tingyan past tombstone after tombstone, eventually arriving at a particularly well-tended one, larger than any other grave.

Flowers and fruits had already been placed on the platform. The black tombstone bore the inscription, "The Grave of Wen Qingmu and His Beloved Wife Chu Lan."

Nianyang slowly crouched down, looking at the only photo of Wen Qingmu and Chu Lan on the tombstone, and tears fell instantly.

Li Tingyan said beside her, "This was Grandfather’s idea. Elder Wen dreamed all his life of marrying Auntie, so after they died, he arranged for them to be given a marriage certificate. Elder Wen got his wish."

Nianyang said nothing, just quietly gazed at the tombstone, thinking of that beauty as gentle as a breeze, unable to accept that he had already passed away...

The rain poured down harder and harder. Li Tingyan helped Nianyang up and gently hugged her, comforting her,

"Nini, I know you’re sad, but you have to take care of yourself. Elder Wen wouldn’t want to see you like this."

Nianyang didn’t respond, like a porcupine suddenly bristling its quills, she pushed him away strongly and decisively, "Don’t touch me."

Li Tingyan obviously didn’t expect Nianyang to suddenly resist him. A wave of unease surged, his dark eyes narrowing as he looked at her, "Nini, what’s wrong?"

Nianyang turned her face away sulkily, "Nothing, I’m just a little tired, not in the mood for your entanglement."

"What do you mean, not in the mood for my entanglement?"

Li Tingyan furrowed his brows, forcefully grabbing Nianyang’s hand, "Nini, have you forgotten? We’re married. If you’re upset about something, you can tell me directly, I’ll share the burden with you."

Nianyang’s tone was icy, "Share the burden? How will you share it? The beautiful master is dead, do you know what death is? It doesn’t mean going far away or retreating into seclusion; he’s no longer in this world at all..."

Li Tingyan felt a sting in his heart, "I know, I’m also heartbroken. But are you taking it out on me because of this? Do you think I caused Elder Wen’s death?"

"Li Tingyan, you don’t understand at all." Nianyang took a deep breath, "The beautiful master was poisoned to death. Such pain, the beautiful master endured it alive!"

"We’re still okay now, but the beautiful master is gone. What did he go through when he died?

Now who will truly grieve for him? Meanwhile, we, the ones who caused his death, still stand here healthy. Li Tingyan, don’t you feel guilty?"

Li Tingyan tightened his lips, "So, what do you mean? Are you going to hold a grudge against me now because of Elder Wen? That’s not fair to me. Maybe if I hadn’t cared about you so much, I could have stopped this tragedy. But Nini, I’m not an Immortal, I couldn’t foresee all this."

"So, I’m not blaming you. I blame myself. The real culprits behind everything are us, and no one can escape it."
