CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 66: PROMISING A LIFETIME 7

Including the secrets she carries...

Nianyang’s eyes flashed with vigilance, "What secrets are you talking about? I don’t have any secrets!"

Damn it, this man’s thinking is so meticulous, has he already figured something out?

Li Tingyan adjusted his sitting position, looking steadily at Nianyang, his deep eyes seemed to hide a dim light, "Nini, from what I understand, for the past seventeen years, you were timid, fearful of things, but the day we first met, your personality changed drastically, completely unlike your previous self. Also, your medical skills are very professional, which couldn’t be achieved without special training, but in your personal records, you have never been involved in medicine. Isn’t all this too strange?"

"Li Tingyan! You’re investigating me!?" Nianyang’s expression turned colder!

"No, I just want to understand you!" Li Tingyan spoke softly, "Nini, don’t be afraid. I’m not going to harm you, I just want to say that the secrets you carry, others can find out too. If someone wants to scheme against you in the future, how will you be able to resolve it?"

Nianyang was stunned.

Indeed, Li Tingyan was right. Although she tried her best to behave in a rational way to avoid suspicion, she still couldn’t be foolproof.

Right now, she’s in the town village; most people here are simple and generally don’t notice any issues, but she’s planning to develop herself in the big city later on, facing savvy and strategic individuals. If someone detects something amiss then, how will she explain it?

Her rebirth, her space, these are secrets she needs to guard till death. She isn’t even sure if she’ll tell Li Tingyan in the future!

Sensing Nianyang’s thoughts, Li Tingyan’s voice became enticing, "Nini, be with me. When I’m around, no one will dare to plot against you. Any problems you can’t solve can be pushed onto me, I will pave a smooth road full of sunshine for you, so you have no worries. Also, I won’t question the secrets you carry; you say what you want, and you won’t be forced if you don’t want to. Is this acceptable to you?"

Facing Li Tingyan’s sincere gaze, Nianyang found it hard to refuse. Moreover, she realized she had a special feeling deep in her heart for Li Tingyan. Although it hadn’t reached the point of liking him, he was the first man to stir her heart in both her past and present life. She believed that with time, she would truly fall for him.

Putting everything aside, they are destined to be together. Since the outcome is the same, whether it’s sooner or later, what’s the difference?

Nianyang, who understood the reasoning, replied in a low voice with "Okay."

"Really, you agreed?" Li Tingyan asked in surprise, the happiness coming so quickly made him a little dazed.

He used to watch his colleagues talk fondly of their wives and thought disdainfully, isn’t it just a woman?

What’s there to be proud of, instead of getting a wife, why not make more shipments instead?

Only now did he understand how wonderful having a wife feels!

Even though Nianyang has lived for two lifetimes, she still hasn’t experienced romance; she’s quite shy. Saying "Okay" almost took all her courage, yet this unromantic man, Li Tingyan, asked again, as if he was killing her.

Nianyang didn’t want to pay attention to him, but when she saw the man looking at her pitifully, waiting for confirmation, she could only nod helplessly.

"Yes, I agreed."

"Nini, I am so happy." Li Tingyan excitedly held Nianyang’s hand, "From now on, you are my wife, Nini."

Wife...

These are two words that should be exceedingly normal.

Why do they sound so tender and captivating coming from this man’s mouth?

Nianyang only felt her heart was numbing, and she spoke with slight annoyance, "Stop calling me that. I just agreed to be your girlfriend, not married to you yet!"

This man really knows how to climb up the pole with his cunning!
