Chapter 1112: Chapter 1139: Reaping Without Sowing
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Li Tingyan’s heart suddenly trembled, and he hugged Nianyang’s waist from behind.
Nianyang pushed his hand away, turned back with a cool gaze searching into the man’s anxious dark pupils, her tone was very bland, "Aren’t you leaving? I’m packing your luggage for you, so you won’t have to sneak away while I’m not here and leave the wardrobe a mess."
Li Tingyan’s Adam’s apple moved, he opened his mouth somewhat laboriously, "You, you already know?"
Nianyang’s heart had always been tense, always hypnotizing herself into believing he wouldn’t leave, there might be a turning point, but now he admitted it himself, all her persistence collapsed instantly, and her eyes suddenly welled up with misty tears.
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier, do you even care about me?"
"Nini..."
Li Tingyan reached out to hug her, but she angrily avoided him, leaving him to sheepishly stand in place, "Honey, you’re just pregnant, and I promised to take care of you until the baby is born. This transfer was arranged by my superior, I feared you’d be upset, so I never dared to tell you."
Nianyang gritted her teeth, "Oh, so you do remember you promised to take care of me for a year, and now you’re pulling the ’I have no choice’ card on me? I don’t agree."
Li Tingyan remained silent, just stared at her intently with those deep black eyes.
Nianyang felt extremely wronged, sat on the edge of the bed, her legs tapping the ground, and asked with her head down, "Do you really have to go? Why must it be you? Why do you have to go so far, can’t someone else go instead?"
Li Tingyan stepped forward, crouched cautiously in front of Nianyang, looked up at her, and said in a low voice, "Nini, it has to be me. I’ve risen too fast in the past two years, many colleagues are skeptical of me, so I must go protect our company’s most precarious Beijiang Cold Island. This Cold Island returns high profits to the company every year, and the sailors under my management rely on the benefits from this island for their livelihood. It can’t be destroyed by anyone else, it’s my duty as their superior."
If I can’t protect this island, I won’t be CEO for much longer. Don’t worry, after this I’ll never have to leave you again."
Nianyang said coldly, "Beijiang is so remote, the resources are scarce, and there’s always unrest. Do you, a CEO, really need to go there to prove your abilities? What’s the point of this promotion then?"
"Precisely because of these circumstances, it’s all the more necessary for me to go, Nini. Only then can I silence all doubts about me. I have to support all my crew, otherwise how would they risk their lives for me?"
The reasoning does make sense.
But Nianyang really struggled to accept why it always had to be him.
Nianyang pouted and said, "But Beijiang is so far away from here, it takes more than ten hours by plane, the signal is weak there, we can’t make phone calls, and even if I write to you, it will take a month."
Li Tingyan said, "I don’t want to go either, but my position doesn’t allow it. Nini, you’ve always been working hard for the future, and so must I, for us, for our child’s future, so they can enjoy the best conditions when they’re born, and don’t have to suffer like we did."
"How long will you be gone?" Nianyang asked with a hint of hope, maybe he would return soon.
Li Tingyan’s voice gradually faded, "A year and a half..."
"A year and a half?" Nianyang suddenly stood up, reached down, angrily grabbed Li Tingyan’s collar, shaking with anger, "In a year and a half the child will be half a year old and calling out, what’s this, what kind of father are you, just coming back to reap the rewards?"
