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 145 I almost got cuckolded
The two danced the opening dance with feigned indifference, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, both with controversial identities, while Old Master Yin smiled meaningfully…
Every detail made Su Youling the undisputed controversial and mysterious figure of the night.
Lu Chennuan, watching this scene from the shadows, gritted her teeth in anger.
All this glory and accolade originally belonged to her!
Su Youling is nothing but a used woman who has been with thousands of men. Why should she stand next to Shi Yan and be treated like a hot commodity?
She watched Lu Han in the crowd without making a sound.
This guy never changes his ways. Halfway through the dance, he and his hot and beautiful female partner hid in a corner and started whispering sweet nothings and drinking from the same cup.
What a useless piece of trash who doesn't strive for improvement!
He used to be no match for Shi Yan's talent and methods, and now he's even been left far behind in terms of family background. How dare he still have the nerve to seek pleasure on such an important occasion!
Lu Chennuan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed a waiter, whispering, "Do me a favor..."
Su Youling, today I'm going to ruin your reputation!
On the dance floor, Su Youling became somewhat absent-minded towards the end, feeling as if someone was secretly watching her with focused and intense eyes, making her feel uneasy.
I accidentally stepped on the wrong dance step.
She almost fell.
Shi Yan quickly put his arm around Su Youling's waist and pulled her closer to him without making a sound. "What's wrong? Are you tired from dancing?"
Su Youling shook her head and cooperated by completing the last few dance steps.
Unsurprisingly, it won a standing ovation.
It wasn't that she danced particularly well; it was just that the person she danced with was the young master of the Yin family.
Shi Yan leaned down and whispered affectionately in her ear, "Lingling, do you see? When you're with me, you're still a superior person! More importantly, when you're with me, you only need to be Su Youling forever."
He looked on with anticipation.

After so many years of waiting and several ups and downs in their relationship, Su Youling not only didn't want to give up on the person in front of him, but also developed an even stronger possessive desire.
Winning over Su Youling is the first step to defeating Li Tingxi!
He would never forget the day he was trampled underfoot and humiliated by Li Tingxi.
One day, he will repay him a hundredfold!
"Shi Yan, don't force me to slap you too." Su Youling pushed him away expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "I'll dance with you until the end! I'll wait for Li Zhongling to come to the second-floor reception room."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and left the dance floor, ignoring the probing gazes of the crowd, her back straight, like a proud and lonely swan.
Butler Li was still downstairs greeting guests, and Su Youling knew he wouldn't be up for a while, so she went to the reception room to wait alone.
The Yin family's banquet was meticulously prepared, with well-trained waiters attending to every detail in every public area.
Upon seeing Su Youling enter, the waiter politely inquired about her arrival, brought her a glass of freshly squeezed juice, and then silently closed the door and left.
After all that fuss, Su Youling was exhausted. She sat down and took a sip of half a glass of juice when she heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps behind her.
Su Youling turned around in surprise, "President Li arrived so quickly... um!"
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at the handsome face so close to hers, a sight that seemed both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.
"Did you enjoy the dance?" Li Tingxi held Su Youling in his arms, pouncing on her fiercely like a hungry tiger, pressing her against the table. Looking at her glistening, moist lips still stained with juice, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his head to kiss her fiercely again.
They tossed and turned, showing no tenderness whatsoever.
His mind was filled with images of Su Youling and Shi Yan together: their intimate whispers at the auction, their oblivious ambiguity on the dance floor, and the constant eye contact...
She still dares to say she doesn't feel any latency?
What a scammer!
He tried every means to follow her in, originally not wanting to show his face, only wanting to protect her personal safety, but he never expected to almost be cuckolded!
"Ugh... Li Tingxi!" Su Youling suspected that her lips were swollen. This guy was biting and nibbling like a wolf without any restraint.
This is the Yin family's lounge!
Someone could come in at any time!
The more nervous she became, the more tense her body became. Su Youling trembled slightly in Li Tingxi's arms, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of accusation and rejection.
That cold, icy gaze stung Li Tingxi.
He paused, looked up at the beautiful yet stubborn little face so close to his, and said, "Do you hate me kissing you? Su Su, don't forget that I'm your man."
He stroked Su Youling's cheek, a frenzied possessiveness gradually surging in his eyes. "Only I can treat you like this. If anyone else dares to lay a finger on you, I will tear them to pieces."
The murderous intent in the man's eyes was so palpable that Su Youling turned pale with fright.
This was yet another unfamiliar side of Li Tingxi that she had never seen before, like a demon whose beloved toy had been snatched away, determined to fight to the death.
But she at least understood Li Tingxi's temper, and at this time she could only try to appease him, otherwise it would only result in mutual destruction.
Su Youling closed her eyes and said helplessly, "Li Tingxi, can we resolve our family matters when we get back? I danced with Shi Yan just to win over Li Zhongling."
She was coaxing him like a child.

She explained gently and patiently, "The butler who is hosting today's auction is Mr. Li, whom we are looking for. He is the adopted son of the Yin family and has always been supported by the Yin family, which is why we have been unable to find him."
Li Tingxi stared at her intently, his expression shifting.
Ultimately, the word 'family matters' miraculously calmed his anger and unease.
"I'll trust you one more time." Li Tingxi's slender fingers gently caressed her lips, carrying a suggestive meaning, or perhaps a coquettish plea for pleasure. Against his handsome face, it was simply irresistible.
Su Youling nudged him, "Get up first."
The sound startled me.
Why does her voice sound so strange?
It was just a forced kiss from Li Tingxi. He's done far worse things before. Why is your body going weak and your voice sounding so cloying now?
She must have been poisoned!
Su Youling got up and tried to run away, but Li Tingxi quickly pulled her back, held her in his arms, pressed her against his lap, and held her firmly, not allowing her to move.
"But I'm still angry that you were so intimate with your ex-boyfriend. Su Su, be a good girl and let me kiss you for a while." Li Tingxi slowly leaned down and kissed Su Youling's lips with utmost tenderness this time.
Although the kiss was gentle, a raging fire burned in his eyes, almost making Su Youling dizzy and nearly causing her to succumb.
Just as things were about to escalate out of control, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Someone's coming!" Su Youling tensed up, as if she had been caught in the act of adultery. She hurriedly pushed Li Tingxi away and scrambled to fix her clothes and hair.
Before the person behind him could speak, the door opened.
Su Youling's body stiffened, and she subconsciously tried to block Li Tingxi behind her.
