CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: PROMISING A LIFETIME 5

Nianyang hesitated for a moment, puffing her cheeks and said, "Well, I’m a medical student, and as a doctor, I’m supposed to be compassionate. I can’t just watch someone die without helping them, or else I’d feel guilty!"

But that’s not entirely true. If it were someone else today, she would have saved them, but she wouldn’t have used the precious Lingzhi. Although she’s a doctor, she’s not running a charity. If she saved everyone in distress, she’d starve!

Li Tingyan’s work at sea doesn’t require just brute strength. To be promoted from a cargo handler to a General Manager demands extremely high skills.

For example, when going out to sea, he must first determine the sea area, calculate storms, tidal fluctuations, temperature deviations, and also compete with others for the best sea area through strategy and wits, plus defend against pirates!

He’s mastered psychological warfare, diversion tactics, and the 36 stratagems!

Right now, it’s obvious Nianyang wasn’t telling the truth, but he didn’t expose her. Instead, he slowly said, "Nini, the first time we met, you sat on my lap. The second time, you jumped into my arms. Now you’ve unbuttoned my clothes. I once swore my body would only be touched by my future wife, so you know what I mean, right?"

The man’s expression suggested she owed him something, and as Nianyang wiped the sweat from her forehead, she explained, "No, the first two encounters were accidents, and as for unbuttoning your clothes, that was because I needed to operate on you. In front of a doctor, gender doesn’t matter, you know?"

Li Tingyan was determined to stick to Nianyang, "I don’t care, you’re the first woman to touch my body, so you have to be responsible for me!"

"Hey, who forces people to take responsibility like that? You’re just playing dirty and being shameless!" Nianyang said, exasperated. How did she not notice before that Li Tingyan was such a rogue? The previous times he’d been so aloof and cold! The contrast is terrifying!

Li Tingyan pursed his lips and stayed silent, but his dark eyes clearly conveyed, ’Yes, I’m being shameless. What about it?’

Nianyang felt that just going along with this man’s whim was too easy on him, so she intentionally put on a stern face and said, "What if I don’t take responsibility? What can you do to me?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Tingyan seemed to instantly enter a dangerous state, his deep, black eyes suddenly flashing with a cold, dangerous light.

Nianyang couldn’t help but shiver.

Oh my, this man’s expression is terrifying. Guards usually have bad tempers and little patience. Would he hit someone in a fit of rage?

"Nini, if you don’t take responsibility, I’ll just have to use underhanded means to marry you. After all, you must be my wife!"

Li Tingyan made no effort to hide his possessiveness, his eyebrows exuding a rebellious sharpness, like a complete ruffian.

Nianyang...!!

So this guy has had everything planned out all along, leaving no room for rejection!

"Mr. Li, you have a promising future, and there are so many women to choose from. Why are you giving a hard time to someone like me?"

Nianyang really couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. These days, businesspeople were in high demand, especially those in the first wave of entrepreneurs. They are all skilled and are future tycoons.

With such impressive credentials, there must be plenty of women queuing up for him, right?

Could this be the effect of the so-called destined romance between him and her?

"Nini, I don’t care about other women. I only want you." Li Tingyan blurted out instinctively, but once he said it, even he was surprised at how cheesy his tone sounded.

He had never been in a relationship before, so how did these sweet words come so naturally?

It was as if something was guiding him in the right direction!

But thinking about the fact that it was Nianyang he was facing, it didn’t seem so surprising anymore.

After all, there were too many inexplicable things about this little girl, weren’t there?
