Ning Xia watched as Li Tingyan held Nianyang with a tender expression and affectionate eyes, and she was so angry she was about to explode.
Just a mont ago when Li Tingyan treated his sailors and her with the sa cold deanor, she thought he was quite cool!
But now seeing the stark contrast in the way Li Tingyan treats her and Nianyang, Ning Xia was burning with jealousy and resentnt.
Why does she have to endure Li Tingyan’s cold gaze, while Nianyang, a re village girl, gets such gentle treatnt from him? It’s just unfair!
Did she go through all this trouble just to watch Li Tingyan and Nianyang show off their love?
No!
She wasn’t willing!
If she hadn’t seen how deeply Li Tingyan cares for Nianyang, it would’ve been fine. But now that she had, it stoked Ning Xia’s competitive spirit, and she had to seize that deep affection from Li Tingyan, which ant she had to drive Gu Nianyang away.
In just a few seconds, Ning Xia had made up her mind. She swiftly dashed in front of Li Tingyan and Nianyang, staring directly at Nianyang, and said,
"Gu Nianyang, you need the right kind of ability to deserve the right kind of man. You were the first to win Li Tingyan’s heart, so I have no standing to tell you to leave!
But the rule of the world is survival of the fittest, so do you dare to compete with ? As long as you can outdo , I won’t fight you for the man, but on the contrary, you must back out!"
Nianyang squinted, "Sorry Ning Xia, I think you’re misunderstanding the use of ’survival of the fittest’. When it cos to strength, it can be argued like that, but love is about mutual willingness, not about who is stronger than whom to gain love. And what is the value of such love if it’s won?"
Ning Xia spat, "After saying all that, it’s still because you know you can’t beat and you don’t dare to compete with . Gu Nianyang, you’re just a coward who doesn’t even dare to face a rival in love. You don’t deserve to stand by Li Tingyan’s side!"
Nianyang smirked, "Provoking won’t work. I’m not competing with you because, first, I find it boring, and these back-and-forth comparisons are childish!
Second, you’re just an outsider with a one-sided crush on my man. That doesn’t count as a rival in love!
Third, my man is my lover, not a bet I’m willing to stake!"
Ning Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Stop babbling. I’m acknowledging you by competing with you. If you don’t compete with , I’ll have my dad find a way to demote Li Tingyan. Don’t tell there’s no way to demote soone if they’ve done nothing wrong. My dad has been in the company for quite so ti, and I refuse to believe Li Tingyan’s work of five years doesn’t have a single oversight. If I really dig, there’s no way Li Tingyan can escape. Think it over and decide!"
Li Tingyan frowned, and Nianyang glanced at him, then said to Ning Xia,
"I can agree to compete with you, but can you keep your promise? If I win, you will leave us and stop bothering us!"
Ning Xia, confident she wouldn’t lose to Nianyang, replied, "Of course no problem, I give my word!"
"Alright, so what do you want to compete in?"
"In three days, it’ll be the annual eting, and thousands of people at the entire dock will attend, with a female group performing on stage at that ti.
The family quarters will also select outstanding ’saozi’ to perform on stage.
That night, the best perforr will receive an excellent banner personally awarded by your CEO. We’ll compete to see who can get the banner, and whoever does wins!"
