Chapter 827 - 828: Grinning Shamelessly
Listen, listen to this man’s tone, totally has no intention of admitting his mistake!
Gone for so long with no news, and he still has the nerve to act all cheeky!
Nianyang scoffed and responded with a sarcastic tone,
"I think this is exactly what someone should hear. Gone for so long without a word, I really suspect someone has already forgotten he has a wife at home!"
On the beach in Jiangcheng, under the fierce night wind, the man in a coat stood with a face full of tender affection, "Nini, don’t get all sarcastic with me. You’re my precious wife. Even if I forget the whole world, I could never forget you."
"Li brother, your words are as sweet as ever!"
Nianyang, unavoidably delighted, couldn’t help but let her rosy lips curve up like rose petals, then feeling it was too unreserved, she reluctantly restrained it a bit and huffed lightly.
"Ha~" The man’s rich, deep voice, laced with laughter, charming and soul-stirring, with deep affection, "Don’t you know best how sweet your man’s words are? You always nibble for so long every time..."
Nianyang’s face was easily flushed red, and she angrily said, "Li Tingyan, why are you being a rogue over the phone with me? Do you think just a few nonsense words will make me forgive you for ignoring me for half a month?"
Li Tingyan sighed, with a good attitude of admitting fault, "Sorry, my wife, I’ve been really busy lately, no time to call you. Now I’m using my sleeping time to call. I miss you a lot, don’t be mad, okay?"
A single "I miss you" deflated Nianyang’s anger instantly. Having finally connected, she didn’t want to argue anymore, after all, she did miss him a lot.
Her attitude softened quickly, her fair fingers gripping the phone, she asked in a low voice, "So busy? Aren’t you an engineer? You’re not even out to sea, just directing others and having meetings, how do you not even have enough time to sleep?"
Li Tingyan’s dark eyes flashed with a bit of guilt in the night, and he finally cleared his throat, "You girl, asking so much at once, how do I answer?"
So familiar with each other, Nianyang knew this man like the back of her hand, and sensing something off in his tone, she squinted, "Tingyan, why do I feel like you’re hiding something from me? What exactly are you up to?"
What Li Tingyan said next sounded natural, but upon closer listening, there was an almost imperceptible tension.
"What nonsense are you thinking? The things you’re asking are all secrets. If I answered you, we’d both be done for."
Nianyang snorted lightly, "I think you’re just up to something. If you really loved me, how could you bear not sending a message for so long? Even if you’re too busy to call, you could write a letter, couldn’t you? Do you know how much I think of you, don’t you have any awareness that you have a partner?"
The night was cold and dewy, her soft complaints pierced Li Tingyan’s heart. He felt truly miserable, and cautiously said, "Sorry, my wife, for making you uncomfortable. When I get back, you can scold or hit me as you like, and I won’t complain, okay?"
Nianyang, though pretending not to care about Li Tingyan, still asked one by one about his daily routines during this time, like whether he’s been eating well, etc...
