Jealousy and hatred had clouded Kang Jian’s eyes. He was ten years older than Li Tingyan, yet he was suppressed by him in every way. His wife, Yang i, also constantly said he was not as capable as Li Tingyan, which only made him more gloomy.
After sending off the pregnant woman, the boss unceremoniously said,
"Kang Jian, for speaking nonsense and contradicting your superiors, you are to be punished. There will be no promotions for you within two years."
Kang Jian’s face was full of defeat. He was already thirty-six years old, his health was failing, and he could no longer go to sea. It was already difficult to get a chance for promotion, and now with this punishnt, there’s even less room for advancent?
He was finished.

The eting ended quickly. Yang i was dragged ho by Kang Jian, whose face was ashen, anticipating yet another bout of dostic violence.
After seeing off the bosses, several of Li Tingyan’s subordinates surrounded Nianyang with starry eyes.
Little Wu said, "Saozi, you were so cool just now!"
Dong Hu said, "I always thought n protected their wives. I never expected a wife could protect her man too!"
Li Tingyan pushed his head, "Go, go, what wife, call her Saozi, she’s my wife!"
Monkey chuckled, "In my eyes, Saozi was 3.8 ters tall just now!"
Nianyang laughed, "Wouldn’t that make a giant?"
Sheng Feng animatedly said, "Boss Li, we all got promoted today. You’re the biggest, so shouldn’t you treat us to dinner?"
It was Saturday, and the company had given them the day off. Li Tingyan pondered for a few seconds, "Sure, I’ll treat!"
"Yay!"
A cheer erupted.
Nianyang said, "It just so happens I’m here. The food outside isn’t as tasty as mine. Why don’t you all co to our place, and I’ll cook!"
With Saozi cooking, how could they refuse? Everyone eagerly nodded, looking forward to tasting Saozi’s culinary skills.
Li Tingyan quietly asked Nianyang, "With so many people, won’t you get tired?"
Nianyang blinked her eyes, "Nope, I have lots of ingredients I previously bought in my space that I haven’t had the chance to use. Perfect for cooking for everyone, not wasting them!"
Li Tingyan smiled, "Looks like my wife is quite the planner. You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already saving for ."
Nianyang snorted softly.
The dinner was set for the evening. Nianyang and Li Tingyan spent the afternoon cooking together at ho, spending four or five hours preparing a variety of exquisite dishes.
Everything was seasoned with the specially flavored Spiritual Spring water, making the food exceptionally fragrant. Everyone ate with relish, licking their plates clean, and helped Nianyang wash the pots and dishes before reluctantly leaving.
Nianyang was busy all afternoon, and during the al, she was also plied with quite a bit of alcohol, leaving her tipsy and dazed on the sofa.
Li Tingyan fetched a basin of warm water to wash Nianyang’s feet, noticing she was muttering sothing, nodding her head.
Li Tingyan knew Nianyang couldn’t handle her alcohol well and tended to recognize no one when drunk. He deliberately leaned in and said,
"Honey, what are you saying?"
Nianyang, with an innocent face, said, "I’m saying that I like Ayan a lot, really really like, especially like!"
Li Tingyan’s heart lted and he mischievously said, "Do you like that much? Then give a kiss."
When she was sober, his wife rarely took the initiative to kiss him.
Nianyang stared at Li Tingyan for a long ti, then asked in a daze, "Are you Ayan?"
"I am."
"Smooch."
The girl’s alcohol-scented lips landed on his face, making Li Tingyan exceedingly happy. He carried her back to the bed in the room. They hadn’t slept in the sa room for quite so ti...
