CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 118: RETURNING TO THE VILLAGE TOGETHER 2

As someone who’s been a husband and father for over a decade, how could Ruan Weidong not understand Li Yama’s little thoughts?

Heh, men!

★

After settling the partnership and securing the base’s working capital, debt-free Nianyang felt elated as she left the Phoenix Restaurant with Li Tingyan.

But on the way back, the man beside her seemed off, as if he’d encountered something unpleasant, making Nianyang feel uneasy. She couldn’t help but ask, "Ayan, are you in a bad mood?"

Li Tingyan didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he pulled the car to the side of the road, and with deep eyes, he stared at Nianyang. After a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "Nini, I’m currently just a General Manager, with a monthly salary of only a few hundred bucks. Although I often get bonuses from going out to sea, it’s not a lot. Will you despise me for that?"

He had just seen his little wife make a quick buck of ten thousand with just a few words, which really shook him. His salary was among the top in the company, but compared to his little wife, it was practically insignificant!

Li Yama, the undefeated conqueror of the sea, tasted the sting of defeat for the first time.

He felt uneasy. His little wife was not only brilliant but also made money effortlessly. Would she think he was worthless in the future?

Nianyang was taken aback and then couldn’t help but laugh, "Ayan, you’re silly. Even though you’re not making much now, you’ll definitely become the mightiest tycoon at sea in the future. Then, I’ll rely on you to show off. How could I possibly despise you?"

What’s the most promising business venture now?

Of course, it’s maritime commerce, a path full of endless possibilities for entrepreneurship. With Li Tingyan’s intellect, he’s bound to be extremely successful. In the future, the first wave of those who succeed in going to sea will have statuses comparable to the richest individuals, and Li Tingyan will undoubtedly become the wealthiest, most domineering CEO!

Li Tingyan was stunned.

Nianyang touched his face, revealing a playful smile,

"Besides, you handle the outside world, and I clear the obstacles for you. That’s what I call a win-win!"

Li Tingyan grasped the girl’s hand, his Adam’s apple bobbing, "Nini, I’ll work hard to get promoted to a higher position and eventually take over the entire company so I can provide you with a better life. You’ll never be wronged with me by your side."

Nianyang’s eyebrows curved, her bright eyes twinkling, "Ayan, you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. Safety is the most important thing to focus on. I don’t care about the level of your position. I just wish you could return safely every time you go to sea."

"Wifey, you’re so good."

Li Tingyan’s eyes were fervent, and he couldn’t resist kissing Nianyang hard on the lips.

Feeling it wasn’t enough, he wanted to go even deeper.

Just then, a beeping sound interrupted, and Li Tingyan had to reluctantly let go of Nianyang to answer the phone.

Nianyang watched, puzzled, as Li Tingyan pulled out a phone the size of a brick from his pocket.

Could this be what people of this era colloquially call a "brick phone," known later as the "big brother" phone?

Seeing Li Tingyan speak seriously into the brick phone nearly made Nianyang burst into laughter.

After hanging up, Li Tingyan said to Nianyang,

"Nini, I need to take you to the security office to make a statement."

Nianyang was taken aback and thought about her actions yesterday, guessing they must have piqued the security’s interest.

Noticing Nianyang’s concern, Li Tingyan lightly patted his little wife’s head, "Don’t worry, I’m here. If they ask something you can’t answer, just toss it to me. I’ll handle it for you!"
