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 moment ago when Li Tingyan treated his sailors and her with the same cold demeanor, 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 resentment.
Why does she have to endure Li Tingyan's cold gaze, while Nianyang, a mere village girl, gets such gentle treatment 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 meant she had to drive Gu Nianyang away.
