It felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over her, chilling Zhang Mingyue from head to toe, her face turning ghostly pale in an instant, as she stood like a wooden post.
Just so random people...
Li Tingyan actually called her so random people...
She was clearly a beauty; was this man blind?
Luo Xia looked aggrieved after being yelled at but didn’t dare say anything, suppressing her inner resentnt, she looked at Zhang Mingyue with discontent, "This lady, please leave imdiately..."
"Fine, fine, you think I care about your Tongxin Hall?"
Zhang Mingyue glared hatefully at Nianyang, sneering,
"Your shop is about to close for good anyway, I better stay away to avoid any bad luck!"
Li Tingyan ignored her, holding Nianyang’s hand and walking out, while speaking, "Nini, let’s go, don’t talk to lunatics, or it will affect our mood."
Lunatic Zhang Mingyue, "..."
Furious, she ground her teeth and turned her head to leave.
She ran outside, seeing quite a few custors coming and going at Tongxin Hall, a touch of hatred on her delicate face,
"If they disrespect this much, fine, your Tongxin Hall won’t rise again; just wait and see!"
Li Tingyan stayed with Nianyang at Tongxin Hall for the entire day.
In the evening, they returned to the Li Family.
Due to Nianyang’s illness, the Chu and Li Families had been dining together at night recently.
The usual interaction routine persisted, during dinner, Shang Wan proposed, "Tomorrow, we should visit Holy Light Temple as a family and offer incense for Yangyang’s blessing."
Yunrou’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea, I can’t believe I hadn’t thought about it. Holy Light Temple is the most prestigious temple in Pingjing; perhaps exposure to spiritual light will help Yangyang recover faster."
Li Tingyan, usually a skeptic, thought the miracles of Nianyang might indeed work, so he nodded, "Alright, we will go tomorrow."
To visit the temple for incense offerings, Li Tingyan woke up early at 6 a.m. the next day, first helping Nianyang with washing and clothing, then attending to his own matters.
After getting ready, the two families had breakfast together and then drove to Holy Light Temple.
The temple was deep in the southeastern mountains, and you had to climb a very long and particularly steep staircase to reach it.
Old Master Chu, being elderly, discussed finding a shortcut due to the lengthy journey.
Li Tingyan overheard an elder saying that if you sincerely seek blessings, you must complete all the steps for the deity to see your devotion, and then your wish might co true.
It sounded far-fetched, but Li Tingyan couldn’t miss the chance.
After all, they were here.
Ignoring objections, Li Tingyan directly carried Nianyang on his back, stepping up the stairs, his stubborn and resolute figure causing mixed and bittersweet feelings among both families.
Shang Wan sighed, "Such a sorrowful couple, why is it so hard for them to be together peacefully?"
Liu Yue comforted, "Don’t worry too much, children have their blessings, I believe everything will turn out well."
Old Master Chu said nothing, though his heart had been moved by Li Tingyan. Despite the fact that Nannan’s condition was partly his unquantifiable responsibility, how many n in this world could care for Nannan daily as Li Tingyan did?
If Nannan wakes up and has no issue with him, he wouldn’t say anything further; the couple is already married after all, and any more fussing will lead nowhere.
