Chapter 981: Chapter 1005: Conflict Reborn 5

Li Tingyan’s gaze fiercely cracked open a deep water stain, his hand that originally clutched tightly onto Nianyang’s slowly loosened.

He seemed to have been dealt a huge blow, despondently dropping his head, that bewildered and lonely look pierced Nianyang’s eyes with bitterness.

She lowered her head and said, "Ultimately, it’s actually us who harmed Master Meiren; we didn’t realize sooner that if we had just cared a bit more for him, he might have lived for a long, long time.

He didn’t even truly experience happiness; what right do we have to be happy? Li Tingyan, do you still think, up until now, that we shouldn’t take responsibility for this?"

Li Tingyan was silent for a long time, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. We’ll together atone to Elder Wen, I’ll do whatever you say, as long as it’s not breaking up, as long as it’s not wanting to cut ties with me, whatever you want, I’ll give you."

Nianyang’s eyes fiercely turned sour, tears welled up, but she bit her lip tightly, suppressing the urge.

She said nothing, stood in silence for a while, turned her head, and walked out like a lifeless corpse.

The man quickly followed, wanting to hold her hand, but pulled back, restrained, and said,

"Nini, it’s still raining, let me give you a ride back, that shouldn’t be a problem."

His tone revealed caution.

Nianyang responded with a hum, got into Li Tingyan’s car, who by now had become the CEO, and the car had been upgraded to another level, looking very prestigious.

Nianyang sat in the passenger seat, involuntarily recalling how excited she was to hug his leg just recently when he got promoted and changed cars; but now, she was completely downcast.

Li Tingyan said, "Nini, don’t tell our families about this; I don’t want them to worry about us."

Nianyang replied okay, her gaze remained fixed on the window outside.

Then, they went home without speaking a word throughout the trip. Li Tingyan, feeling troubled, went to the balcony to smoke a few cigarettes. When he returned to the room, he saw Nianyang packing her luggage.

His heart tightened, "What are you doing?"

Nianyang said faintly, "Since we don’t have to meet for now, I want to stay at school for a while; it’s just as well because very soon, I will join the elite training group."

Li Tingyan’s breath came out somewhat gloomy, without a word, he pulled Nianyang to the side, and then started taking the items she had packed into the suitcase, one by one, and put them back.

"Li Tingyan, what are you doing, did you forget what I said?"

Li Tingyan looked over, expressionless, "Can’t let the family see there’s a problem; if you pack your things, mom will notice. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll go out to sea later; you can tell me when you want me to return, and I’ll come back then, is that alright?"

Nianyang raised her eyes slightly, "Going out to sea again, is it dangerous?"

Li Tingyan shook his head, "I only direct now, there won’t be any danger; just that I will be a bit far from you and might miss you a lot. If I miss you, can I call you?"

Nianyang said nothing.

He laughed softly, "Forget it, I’ll write you letters instead, you don’t have to read them, then I won’t be bothering you. You stay here well; I’ll talk to mom and dad myself, won’t make things difficult for you."

Nianyang watched as Li Tingyan went to pack his things, her mouth opened and closed, but ultimately, she said nothing.

But when she heard the car exhaust note ring out, she silently shed a few tears, then summoned the strength to clean the house inside and out, and then left as well.
