CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 132: GAINING APPROVAL 1

Who is Li Tingyan? He has reached his current position through meticulous planning. Not only is he incredibly decisive, but he’s also a master of reading people.

With one glance, he could tell what Jiang Aiguo was thinking. Calmly, he began, "Well, Uncle, my parents are from Pingjing and live in the Big Courtyard. I started working early, always traveling all over the place, and had never thought about finding a partner.

This time, it was because of business that I came over and happened to meet Nini. I was immediately captivated by her intelligence and charm. In my heart, Nini is the best, and no other girl can compare."

Li Yama, being exceptionally wise, didn’t directly answer Jiang Aiguo’s question about how many girls admired him. Instead, he subtly expressed that he originally had no intention of finding a partner and it was because of Nianyang he did.

By explaining it this way, it not only highlighted his dedication and integrity, never behaving recklessly, but also reflected his deep feelings for Nianyang.

At the same time, he praised Nianyang as unparalleled, and any parent would be delighted to hear their child being praised, so how could they doubt his seriousness towards Nianyang?

Yes, how masterful!

Nianyang couldn’t help but quietly mutter "cunning dog" to herself.

Sure enough, the expression on Jiang Aiguo’s face softened considerably, but Sun Li, ever sharp, asked,

"Though you might not have thought about finding a partner, surely your family has introduced quite a few to you? You’re at the age where marriage proposals are considered. These days, it’s common for parents to make the decisions. Are you sure there’s no arranged engagement in your life?"

Honestly, this was a question Nianyang had always wanted to ask but was too shy to bring up, so she stayed silent, quietly waiting for Li Tingyan’s answer.

Li Tingyan calmly replied, "To be honest, my family did try to introduce someone to me, but I never showed any interest. I haven’t gone on a single blind date."

This answer greatly satisfied both Nianyang and the Jiang Family, but they weren’t planning to let Li Tingyan off so easily. Jiang Aiguo posed a critical question, "Have you told your parents about your relationship with Yangyang? It’s said that city folks look down on rural people. Will they approve of you dating Yangyang?"

Li Tingyan’s voice was both cool and commanding as he said, "Nini is still young now. I plan to wait until she becomes an adult before introducing her to my parents. As for whether they agree or not, I haven’t even considered it because I’m the one marrying her. As long as Nini is willing, once she reaches the legal age, I’ll marry her. Afterward, she will live with me in the residential area near the docks."

Seeing that Li Tingyan had even considered marriage showed that he truly held Nianyang dear to his heart.

Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li felt much less worried.

"However, like you said, our Yangyang is still young. She’s only in her senior year of high school now and will need to go to college afterward. It might be after four years of college before she considers having children. You’re already 25, and four years later you’ll be nearly 30. Honestly, that age difference is quite significant. Can you wait?"

Jiang Aiguo asked with a hint of heaviness in his voice, worrying that Li Tingyan might grow impatient and have issues with Nianyang, thus affecting their relationship and making their married life difficult.

Li Tingyan turned to look at Nianyang, then suddenly smiled softly, "I’ve waited 25 years to meet someone who moves me. As long as I can be with her, what’s waiting four years? What about a whole lifetime?"
