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 127 Concealment
Su Youling "..."
She asked in a dry voice, "Why would she ask that?"
Has Li Tingxi's identity been exposed?
Probably not.
If he wanted to expose himself, he wouldn't have cooperated with my act in the first place.
That's because her mother was worried about her, so she subtly asked 'Xiao Li' to find out more information.
Li Tingxi, his face grim, questioned, "What do you think? Didn't you tell her—we're divorced?"
“…” Su Youling pursed her lips. “We were going to get a divorce anyway.”
"You still haven't taken my words to heart." Li Tingxi sneered, each word striking hard: "I won't divorce you. Even if you die, you'll be buried next to me."
He bit Su Youling's lip, "Did you understand? Su Su!"
Su Youling flinched, truly afraid that he would bite back and retaliate for her actions outside. The faint smell of blood could still be detected in their mouths.
With her mother and Xiaolin outside, Su Youling didn't dare to take the risk. She placed her hands on his chest and said with a resistant expression, "It's time to eat breakfast."
She tried to get up, but Li Tingxi didn't stop her this time. Instead, he bent down to pick up the medicine from the ground and looked at it thoughtfully.
Su Youling was extremely nervous and quickly snatched the medicine and threw it into the trash can. "It's already dirty, you'd better not touch it. Go wash your hands quickly."
“Your stomach wasn’t this weak before.” Li Tingxi looked at her anxious expression, his eyes growing deeper and more probing. “What exactly is wrong with your stomach? You’ve been taking medicine for so long but it’s not getting better, and you’re still vomiting.”
Although Su Youling had managed to brush it off before, over time, someone as intelligent as Li Tingxi would inevitably become suspicious.
Su Youling felt uneasy thinking about her mother's warning, but she still had to pretend to be strong and calm in front of Li Tingxi. "Have I had a few good days lately? I feel nauseous when the pressure is too great. The doctor said it might be a neurogenic gastrointestinal disease caused by too much mental stress."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, so as not to let Li Tingxi investigate further.
Li Tingxi didn't ask any further questions, but instead dropped a bombshell on her: "I already had Qin He contact a gastroenterologist who is very skilled in this area. Didn't you want to take leave? I'll go to the hospital with you this morning."
Su Youling's fingers clenched tightly. "No need, I haven't finished these medicines yet..."
"Then don't eat it. I don't think it'll do any good. Otherwise, why do you keep throwing up every time I get close to you?" Li Tingxi said coldly. "Are you trying to say that your vomiting is only directed at me?"
Su Youling "..."
That logic!
She swore that if she dared to agree, Li Tingxi might forcibly take her to the hospital right now to find out the truth and prove his innocence.
"It's not directed at you. It's just that you're the only one who often makes me angry, putting a lot of mental pressure on me." Su Youling looked at him and said, word by word, "Have you ever seen me throw up like this in front of anyone else?"
Li Tingxi's handsome face darkened even more upon hearing this, and he suddenly sneered, "If you're sick, go get treatment. You and your husband can't live together like this all the time, can you?"
"Thank you for your concern. Give me the doctor's number, I'll go myself after dinner. I need to take my mom for a checkup anyway..." Su Youling realized she couldn't fool him anymore. This series of strange occurrences had clearly aroused Li Tingxi's suspicion; she couldn't be fooled by a few lies.

“Now that your mother has come to B City, she definitely needs you to keep her company. Otherwise, she’ll start meddling in the pottery culture business whenever she has free time. You don’t need to come with me.”
As long as Li Tingxi isn't allowed to follow her, she naturally has ways to change the test results.
However, Li Tingxi was determined to find out the truth, and the more Su Youling tried to stop him from following, the more it proved that there was something wrong with the medicine.
Could her vomiting really be...?
Li Tingxi clenched his fist and said firmly, "My mother has Zhao Fu with her. She won't make any rash moves in three days. Right now, you're more important."
"..." Su Youling thought to herself, "You've never valued me this much before, why are you causing trouble now?"
They probably suspect she's experiencing morning sickness!
For now, we can only adapt to the situation!
Li Tingxi suddenly lifted her chin, his gaze intense as he questioned, "Or is there some secret about your illness that you can't let me know, which is why you're resisting me going to the hospital with you?"
Su Youling frowned. "What are you thinking about now? If you want to go, then go! I just feel uncomfortable. We've been married for so many years, when have you ever cared about my life or death like this? I don't know what's wrong with you this time."
She calmly threw away the medicine, turned around, and was about to walk out with her phone.
Li Tingxi grabbed her hand, took the phone off her hand, and threw it back onto the cabinet. "We're about to eat, don't play on your phone."
Su Youling: "Why are you meddling so much!"
“What if you want to ask Wei Ning for help again…” Li Tingxi paused intentionally, and seeing a strange look flash in Su Youling’s eyes, he sneered, “Su Su, you’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, you’ll only look more guilty.”
Su Youling paused for a moment, shook off his hand, and smiled with feigned composure. "Are you delusional? If you don't want to play on your phone, then don't. Anyway, I don't have to go to work today, and I don't have to deal with any work. Assistant Li, could you call the company for me and explain that I'm requesting leave?"
After saying that, she really did leave gracefully.
Li Tingxi stood frozen for a moment, thinking about the self-mockery and loneliness in her eyes just now, and his heart suddenly clenched. He regretted that he had been too harsh just now.
He had treated Su Youling badly in the past, so it's normal that she's wary of him.
To warm a cold heart, one needs to be more patient.
He can wait.
The premise is that Su Youling didn't hide anything important from him!
For example, planning an escape.
For example, concealing one's health condition...
Li Tingxi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were ice-cold. He called Qin He and asked him to contact a hospital specialist.
We must find out exactly what's wrong with Su Youling's illness today!
He paused for a moment, then instructed Qin He, "Find someone to keep an eye on the hospital's network to prevent Su Youling from asking Wei Ning for help with cheating."
Qin He was completely bewildered. "President Li, what happened? Why did Madam cheat?"
"Do as I say." Li Tingxi hung up the phone, looked at the phone on the cabinet, and thought that Su Youling's memory was actually very good, so she might remember Wei Ning's phone number.
To get to the bottom of this, we need to keep a close watch on everyone along the way.
During breakfast, the group ate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. In contrast, Su Youling seemed more relaxed.
After the meal, Li Tingxi personally drove the mother and daughter to the hospital.
