Ahem... alright, honestly, even Li Tingyan himself didn't believe what he said.
The hatred Nianyang feels for him is so deep now, it probably won't be easy to completely erase it anytime soon!
But Li Tingyan isn't in a rush. He has all the time in the world to wear down Nianyang. Anyway, he cleverly got their marriage certificate, so she's his wife for life.
A little conflict between husband and wife adds some spice. Compared to the suffering Nianyang endured, the hardships he's facing now are nothing.
After the family left, Li Tingyan pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and started smoking. He asked Chu Zhan, who stayed behind, "Want one?"
"You don't hurry up and explain to my sister, and you still feel like smoking?"
Chu Zhan was impressed by Li Tingyan. Nianyang treats him like a formidable enemy now, yet he's so casual about it.
