Chapter 1142: Chapter 1169:

Nianyang didn’t return to the Li Family; instead, she went to the courtyard house. As soon as she entered the room, she asked Li Tingyan to come out. He had already soaked in the hot spring and changed clothes, looking clean and tidy. However, having not groomed himself for a few days, his chin was scruffy, and the frostbite cracks and highland red were particularly noticeable on his face.

At first glance, he looked like a country farmer who spent all day planting rice.

He saw Nianyang sitting on the bed and didn’t dare to get close. The big man sat pitifully on a small stool and asked, "Wife, are you hungry? Do you want some spicy and sour noodles? I planted some chili peppers in the backyard."

Nianyang said without looking at him directly, "Do you not look in the mirror? You made yourself look so ugly; it really affects my appetite."

For some reason, when she first met Li Tingyan, he was quite particular about his appearance. How did he become so rough after being with her?

Li Tingyan touched his chin, "Wife, I just got back and haven’t had time to groom myself. I’ll meet your needs first and take care of it afterward."

"I don’t want to eat anything now," Nianyang said with a slight sigh, retrieving shaving tools from her space and gesturing for Li Tingyan to come closer.

Li Tingyan, eager to be close to Nianyang, immediately moved his stool next to her, slightly raising his chin like a playful puppy, "Wife, are you going to shave me? Maybe I should do it myself."

He was polite in his words, but if he could decisively take the razor, Nianyang might believe his words more.

"Stop the chatter," Nianyang glanced at him and started to carefully shave him. This was her first time shaving him.

Li Tingyan’s skin was never cared for, but it was naturally good, with almost invisible pores, just a bit agitated after a few days.

After shaving him clean, she exchanged frostbite ointment from her space, applying it to his face and hands while muttering, "You really don’t know how to take care of yourself; without me, your face would be ruined."

The girl’s voice was soft and close, her breath gently hitting his face, seeming more to fall into his heart.

Li Tingyan’s heart felt tender, holding her fingers,

"Wife, you’re so good. Thankfully, I have you to care for me. When I go to Beijiang later, no one will apply medicine for me; I need to enjoy this moment more."

"..."

"Wife, please don’t be mad, okay?" he suddenly said.

Nianyang paused for a few seconds, then gently said, "Let go."

"..." Li Tingyan looked at her almost pleadingly for a while and quietly released his grip, "You’ve already applied medicine for me, so you shouldn’t be angry."

"I applied medicine because I don’t want my child to have a father with a ruined face."

Nianyang said calmly, "But that’s different from you being deceitful and planning to leave us alone and go to Beijiang."

Alone and helpless.

Is it so serious?

Li Tingyan said apprehensively, "Nini, don’t you understand me?"

"I have never not understood you," Nianyang raised her voice in frustration, "You failed to understand what I’m upset about. The decision was made a month ago; you should’ve told me earlier so I could prepare myself mentally. This sudden move, who could handle it?"...
