Chapter 102 We'll probably never see each other again in this lifetime.

The car stopped on a street in front of the Yitao Culture Building. There were warning lines in the middle of the road, as if there had been a car accident, and neither cars nor pedestrians could pass.

The driver kindly pointed her to a side street, leading her through the alley behind the building and into the west gate of the Yitao Culture Building.

Su Youling got out of the car and planned to take another route. Unexpectedly, in front of the Yitao Culture gate was the Malong Avenue, which was the site of a car accident. Behind it were many narrow alleys. She got lost as she walked, and the further she went, the quieter it became.

Let's send someone to pick her up.

Su Youling took out her phone to call Yi Tao's people, but just as she dialed the number, a dog barked behind her, and then a bright shadow suddenly pounced on her.

What a huge golden retriever!

Su Youling's expression changed, and she subconsciously dodged, but the phone was still thrown to the ground by the overjoyed golden retriever. The screen shattered, flashed once, and then went black.

That's so unlucky!

Although Su Youling was brave, this golden retriever, which was almost as tall as a person when standing, was staring at her menacingly with its tongue lolling out. It seemed to be mentally unstable and full of terrifying aggression.

If that dog were to rush up and bite her, even someone with bones of copper and iron wouldn't be able to withstand it!

Su Youling cursed her bad luck inwardly, frowned and glanced around silently to see if there was any way out. Just then, the dog went berserk and lunged back, heading straight for her.

Su Youling: "!!"

Why is this dog staring at her so intently?

She glanced at the lunchbox in her hand, gritted her teeth, and threw it away.

She had intended to attract the golden retriever's attention with food, but the dog ignored her completely and continued barking as it charged toward her.

"What the hell!" Su Youling took off running, but the road was narrow and long, and there wasn't a single ghost in sight. She couldn't find anyone to call for help, and she was sweating profusely and her legs were weak.

"Woof!" That golden retriever was indeed a bit...

Chang, the more he chased, the closer he became, lunging at Su Youling with the ferocity of someone on drugs.

Su Youling couldn't outrun him, so she instinctively clenched her fist.

If all else fails, we'll fight them to the death!

Just as the golden retriever pounced, before Su Youling could even throw a punch, the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air rang out.

Immediately afterward, the golden retriever that had been pouncing in mid-air fell to the ground in front of Su Youling like a kite with a broken string, baring its teeth fiercely, a dagger stuck in its buttocks, and a trail of blood flowing beneath it.

Not far away, Li Tingxi came running over, panting. He grabbed Su Youling's shoulder, looked her up and down, and angrily scolded, "Why are you running around like that? This area is a restricted zone under construction. Can't you see the big warning sign outside?"

Su Youling was stunned for a moment; she hadn't seen it when she walked over!

She wanted to defend herself, but her legs suddenly went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Tingxi quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, his pounding heart showing how anxious and worried he had been.

Xiaolin called him an hour ago, saying that Su Youling had already left by taxi. She should have appeared in front of him within half an hour, but there was still no news.

He waited and waited but nothing happened. Just then, some employees were talking about how a rabid dog had suddenly run out of a nearby pet hospital, ran around wildly, and disappeared into the commercial building. They said it would be terrible if it bit someone!

His heart tightened at that moment, and without thinking of anything else, he grabbed the fruit knife used to peel fruit in the break room and rushed downstairs, while calling the surveillance department to check on Su Youling's whereabouts.

short

A few minutes felt like an eternity to him. On his way to find Su Youling, the bloody image of her being attacked by vicious dogs kept flashing through his mind. He barely knew how he had gotten here.

The more worried he became, the more uncontrollably fierce Li Tingxi's tone grew: "If I hadn't come today, were you planning to die together with this mad dog?"

Su Youling was startled by his stern expression, and at the same time felt indescribably wronged.

If it weren't for dealing with a bunch of troubles for Yitao Culture and helping Li Tingxi solve his problems, she should be with her baby and her mother right now. Why would she come here to torment herself?

"It's my fault for being useless and causing trouble for President Li again!" Su Youling shook off his hand and stubbornly tried to walk out, her resentment and grievances palpable.

Because I was walking too fast, I didn't see the broken bricks under my feet. When I stepped on them, I lost my balance and felt a sharp pain in my ankle.

Su Youling almost fell to the ground, instinctively protecting her lower abdomen.

At that moment, a strong arm reached out, firmly gripped her waist, and pulled her into its embrace, its strength so great it seemed to want to strangle her!

"pain!"

"You still feel pain?" Li Tingxi said with a dark face. He squatted down, held her ankle, and examined it. It had swelled up in just a short while, and her ankle was seriously injured.

"You're such a big person, yet you're still so clumsy. All you're good for is your mouth! All you do is make me angry!" Although Li Tingxi's tone was stern, he got up and, without saying a word, put his arm around Su Youling's waist and picked her up in his arms.

Su Youling instinctively grabbed his neck and struggled for a moment. "What are you doing?"

"I'll take you back, tie you to the bed, and lock you up!" Li Tingxi glared at her, and Su Youling pursed her lips and obediently shut her mouth.

Although I know this

Those words were just said in anger, but Su Youling knew that if she ever really angered Li Tingxi, he was capable of doing something like that.

A sharp pain shot through her ankle, and Su Youling felt a lingering fear.

She would never be able to forgive herself if she hurt the child.

This time, it's all thanks to Li Tingxi!

She leaned against Li Tingxi's chest, looking at the man's smooth jawline, the steady, powerful pounding of his heart filling her ears, a sound that made her unconsciously want to lean on him more.

The tension in the hotel hadn't completely dissipated, but she didn't want to think about anything else. Instinctively, she wanted to savor this peaceful and warm moment a little longer.

Before long, she and her child will disappear from Li Tingxi's sight forever, and he will probably never see her again in this lifetime!

Noticing her sudden obedience and dependence, Li Tingxi's mood, which had been gloomy all day, improved slightly, although he was still bothered by what she had said earlier...

But he knew that this was because their previous way of getting along had indeed caused Su Youling a lot of harm. Li Tingxi tried to understand Su Youling's thoughts from her perspective, and his anger subsided a bit.

Time will prove everything, allowing Su Youling to gradually let go of her wariness and prejudice towards him, and start over with him.

Li Tingxi carried Su Youling from the elevator directly to the president's office, which should have been Zhao Fu's office, but when Su Youling pushed the door open, the furnishings inside felt somewhat familiar.

The books on the bookshelf were the ones she used to read at home, the photo frame on the desk was her picture, the color scheme of the entire office was similar to her previous director's office at Li's Jewelry, and even the little habits of arranging documents were hers.

“Here…” Su Youling looked at Li Tingxi in surprise, “Where is Zhao Fu?”
