Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 11 She sleeps in your bed and wears your clothes
"Shut up! You dare to gossip about her?" Li Tingxi snapped out of his daze and irritably tugged at his tie. "Lin Lexi, don't do anything out of line again, or you'll have to leave immediately."
After saying that, she turned around and went into the bathroom without hesitation, took off her perfume-scented shirt, and threw it into the trash can with disgust, without even glancing at it.
Su Youling never uses perfume, but she always has a faint herbal fragrance on her body. The fragrance becomes stronger when she is aroused, and it always makes people feel an irresistible urge to get rid of her.
If she didn't have a new love interest, would she not act this way?
Thinking that he had once again considered trying to keep her, and that he was still reminiscing about his time in bed with Su Youling, recalling her alluring soft sobs beneath him, Li Tingxi angrily punched the wall.
These are just her tricks to seduce men; what is there for him to miss?
He wants women, all kinds of them, none of them know any seductive tricks.
But Su Youling is an oblivious substitute, so what's the point of pursuing her?
Lin Lexi was insignificant. Although her temperament was very similar to Shen Xiyue's, she always liked to use some underhanded tricks, so he didn't value her that much.
He just wanted to tell Su Youling that he was only after her face, which looked exactly like Shen Xiyue's, and that he was definitely not reluctant to part with her!
...
Su Youling stumbled out of the Li Mansion, looking around blankly, not knowing where to go.
She thought Li Tingxi meant what he said and wouldn't be coming back for a while, so she temporarily gave up on renting a place outside and didn't pack her bags.
She was wearing thin loungewear, and the evening breeze outside was a bit chilly. When the wind blew, Su Youling couldn't help but shiver.
Just then, the familiar Bentley pulled up in front of us.
Su Youling instinctively wanted to run, but then she remembered that Li Tingxi was still in the room and couldn't possibly be driving over so quickly.
"Madam." Sure enough, Qin He stepped out of the car.
Seeing her shivering body, pale face, messy hair, and swollen lips, Qin He quickly took a suit jacket from the trunk and handed it to her. "Madam, please put this on quickly, don't catch a cold."
The size and style clearly belonged to Li Tingxi. Su Youling shook her head. "Don't call me Madam, Assistant Qin. Li Tingxi and I have already agreed to divorce, and we'll be completely estranged soon."
Qin He had no choice but to invite her into the car, turn on the air conditioning, and look at her disheveled appearance, hesitating to speak, "Husband...Director Shen, President Li actually went to see President Ding tonight specifically because he wanted to help you..."
"I'm in this terrible state because of Li Tingxi." Su Youling interrupted him coldly. "If you keep talking, I'm going to report him to the police."
Qin He stared at her in shock, never expecting that Li Tingxi would actually force himself on her!
He was an extremely proud man. Back then, Shen Xiyue was so in love with him, but she betrayed him and left. He didn't even put down his pride and self-esteem to go back to his white moonlight.
Su Youling was just a substitute that the Shen family found to get rid of him, yet he actually... personally shattered his bottom line, just to possess the woman in front of him!
"Director Shen, let me take you to a hotel to settle in." Qin He coughed lightly. "Li... you have to go to work tomorrow, it's quite dangerous for you to wander around like this."
Su Youling borrowed Qin He's wallet but didn't ask him to return it.
She called a car to go to the hotel and settled in. Then she called her home phone and asked the maid to send her clothes, phone and wallet to the hotel the next day.
At least I can't be late for work tomorrow.

Thinking of Li Tingxi's frenzied state tonight, and knowing she couldn't satisfy his desires, Lin Lexi would probably lie on the bed where they had once been intimate, and serve Li Tingxi well.
"Ugh~" Su Youling suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom to vomit. Without giving herself time to calm down, she quickly ran to the shower and scrubbed herself all over a dozen times.
It's so dirty!
"Baby, I'm sorry." After struggling for a while, Su Youling finally calmed down and lay on the bed, stroking her lower abdomen. Thinking about the danger of tonight, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "Mommy will stay away from that person from now on and won't let you get hurt. Just one more month, and we can take Grandma back to our hometown to settle down."
She has saved a lot of money over the years.
She wouldn't accept the extra money Li Tingxi offered, but the company's salary and benefits were substantial enough to ensure that the three of them could live comfortably for a while.
Just then, the phone rang.
It was a call from a friend who works as a private investigator: "I've sent you the recovered communication records and financial transaction records for your private account. As usual, transfer the payment to my account, and I'll check the account when I wake up tomorrow morning."
Su Youling opened the email and glanced at it, then murmured in shock, "How could it be him?"
The next day, the city was bustling and hurried in the morning, with cars flowing endlessly on the streets. A luxury Bentley was parked across from the hotel for a long time without moving.
"Mr. Li, the maid has already delivered Director Shen's things." Qin He looked at the president's cold, expressionless face, unable to fathom his feelings for Su Youling. "Would you like a ride with Director Shen to the company?"
He also thoughtfully provided a plausible excuse for his boss: "Director Shen single-handedly secured Yaosheng's order this time, making a great contribution... Hey, Director Shen is out!"
Li Tingxi suddenly rolled down the car window, his sharp eyes fixed on the hotel entrance.
A flashy sports car pulled up beside Su Youling, and who else could it be but the flamboyant and debonair Li Qidong who got out of the car?
Qin He looked at his boss in horror. "How could it be Li Qidong? Did he send someone to follow Director Shen?"
How come he's everywhere!
Even if the CEO doesn't want to be angry, he's going to explode now!
"What she does from now on, as long as it doesn't affect the company's interests, is none of my business." Unexpectedly, Li Tingxi rolled up the car window expressionlessly, as if he hadn't seen Su Youling get into Li Qidong's car, and calmly said, "To the company."
After tossing and turning all night, he finally understood.
No matter how much Su Youling disguises and changes, she is not the Shen Xiyue in his heart!
Three years of living together had given him the illusion that he was attached to a substitute, and he could no longer let that illusion continue.
Shen Xiyue is the bright moon in the sky, whom no one can compare to. He shouldn't waste his extra feelings on Su Youling.
They are not alone!
The Bentley slowly merged into the traffic, and no one knew that it had passed through here and made a brief stop.
Su Youling seemed to sense something and glanced across the street, where only one busy car after another passed by.
How could she believe that such a proud man as Li Tingxi could put aside his resentment and appear here after being rejected by her like that last night?
I'm completely obsessed!
Su Youling pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling utterly exhausted.
Li Qidong feigned concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Did Li Tingxi kick you out? He wouldn't have brought his new lover home, letting her sleep in your bed and wear your clothes, would he?"
