Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor-Chapter 377 - 378: Downcast

So it turned out she was overthinking it.

Li Tingyan was afraid she might dislike him, so he deliberately went to shower.

But she was throwing a little tantrum, and Nianyang suddenly felt she might have been a bit too much...

No, clearly it was this man who flirted around, so as his wife, why couldn’t she have some feelings about it? It’s what he deserved!

She couldn’t just go soft because he said something nice; that would be too spineless!

She leaned against his chest and murmured, "But she already hugged you. No matter how many times you shower, it doesn’t change that fact. If this were two centuries ago, you’d be considered as taking advantage of a girl!"

Hearing his wife’s dejected voice, Li Tingyan felt a deep pain in his heart, and he tightened his arms around Nianyang, saying in a hoarse voice,

"I’m sorry. I’ll definitely work out more in the future and never give any other woman a chance to get close to me again!"

Nianyang looked at him full of grievance, "Ay, Tingyan, Ning Xia is so pretty and comes from a good family. She likes you so much that she chased you all the way here with such deep affection. Are you not moved at all?

Actually, she’s right. I’m just a village girl with no good background. By choosing me, I can’t offer you any help..."

Li Tingyan lowered his head, "Gu Nianyang, do you think I’m the kind of person who chases after wealth and power?"

Nianyang pouted and said nothing. She knew well that Li Tingyan wasn’t like that, but it just frustrated her. Because she cared too much, she was always anxious and insecure.

Lu Chi was right; she was becoming less and less like her previous self!

It was all because of Li Tingyan, the damned culprit who turned her this way!

Seeing Nianyang’s reaction, Li Tingyan thought she was silently admitting it, and he stared fiercely at her, "Gu Nianyang, I like you so much, love you so much, I wish I could give you my heart. When you talk like that, are you trying to kill me?"

"Let me tell you, even if she’s a Princess, in my heart she can’t compare to a single strand of your hair. I only want you in this lifetime!"

Nianyang touched the corner of her lip, which hurt from the bite, tasting the metallic tang of blood. It was clear the man was really angry, to have used so much force.

She knew she’d said something wrong and spoke in defeat, "I’m worried too. You don’t know how terrifying a woman’s jealousy can be. Ning Xia has strong backing and is a spoiled heiress. I can see her possessiveness over you, and I’m afraid she might do something crazy to get you."

Never before had Nianyang felt so small, even though she’d tried very hard to become strong.

But half a year’s time was too short. Against someone like Ning Xia, she had no power at all.

Li Tingyan gently patted Nianyang’s back, his gaze deep as he said,

"Don’t worry. Don’t forget my backing is no smaller than Ning Xia’s. If worst comes to worst, I’ll reveal my background and confront her directly. I doubt she’d cause any major disturbance!"

"Better not. You’ve hidden your identity for so long, how can you let it all go because of a woman?

Her father isn’t easily dealt with. If things get ugly, it might end badly for both sides, and I don’t want you to end up in a difficult situation because of her.

Anyway, I’ve already decided to compete against Ning Xia. After the annual meeting, I hope she’ll keep her promise and leave, without continuing to pester us."

I like how the female lead always acts soft and cute in front of the male lead; I find it very endearing and sweet. Some new readers might not understand this, and that’s because they’re single.
