Chapter 179 Undeterred and Unstoppable

Su Youling was startled and immediately pulled her hand away. "What?"

"Why do you look at me like that when you ask me to marry you? You look like you've seen a ghost." Li Tingxi said unhappily, "Su Su, I'm seriously proposing to you."

My fingers suddenly felt cold.

Su Youling looked down and saw a dazzling pink diamond. It felt cold to the touch, but her heart was burning with excitement—was Li Tingxi serious?

"Why did you suddenly..." Su Youling pursed her lips uncomfortably, her fingers numb and devoid of feeling, but she inexplicably didn't pull them out, "We're not divorced yet!"

"Why do you think I'm being so sudden?" Li Tingxi sighed, squeezing her fingers. "I know you're unhappy. You don't like being a substitute, and I don't want you to continue to compromise like before. This time, I want to be with Su Youling openly and honestly, and I won't let you live under someone else's name."

Su Youling was deeply shaken.

Wasn't Li Tingxi always the one who considered the bigger picture and put the overall situation first?

He saw himself as a substitute, initially hoping to quietly be a substitute for Shen Xiyue, forcing her to learn all of Shen Xiyue's skills.

When did Su Youling begin to appear in his eyes?

All of this felt so real, it seemed like a dream, like a mirage.

"What about Chen Xiyue?" Su Youling asked.

“She’s a thing of the past, and she won’t be in my future.” Li Tingxi frowned. “However, the marriage certificate is in Shen Xiyue’s name, so the divorce process is necessary. There’s bound to be a lot of turmoil outside during this time. I’ll send you away from B City so you can recover properly.”

Su Youling's face showed shock, and she couldn't help but grip Li Tingxi's hand tightly. "What are you going to do? Don't be impulsive, the situation is still unstable..."

If Li Tingxi is too eager to make an official announcement, he will be seized upon by the outside world to launch attacks and even bring him down.

How much effort did Li Tingxi expend to reach his current position of influence?

Only he himself knows how much effort he put in; she didn't want to bear such a heavy price.

"I know what I'm doing." Li Tingxi thought she was worried about being affected, so he sat down on the bed, hugged Su Youling, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get through this period peacefully. When you come back, you'll be Mrs. Li rightfully."

Su Youling couldn't help but curl her fingertips. Her body went from tense to relaxed, and she didn't know how long it took, but with Li Tingxi's scent filling her nostrils, she instinctively didn't doubt the truth of his words.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need for him to make such a joke to deceive himself.

When she was standing on the precipice of love, caught between a rock and a hard place, she suddenly realized that Li Tingxi had also come to the other side of her and reached out his hand to her. Su Youling's anxiety, entanglement and hesitation were not so heavy.

If he can truly overcome difficulties, she will not be timid and complacent.

But before they headed towards each other, she hoped to see Li Tingxi and Shen Xiyue truly sever all ties and cut all ties completely—this was also their biggest inner demon.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Youling pursed her lips, broke free from Li Tingxi's embrace, and said seriously, "But why do we have to leave B City? The Li family's main base is in A City, so far from B City, it shouldn't be affected..."

"Because of your mother." Seeing Su Youling's eyes suddenly tense, Li Tingxi quickly explained Old Master Yin's actions, including his own countermeasures, and finally reassured her, "You don't need to be too nervous now. The information that Old Master Yin sent to Lingshui Town to find out was all arranged in advance by me, and there are no flaws."

Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about how eagerly Old Master Yin sent people to investigate, so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

This incident happened suddenly, and it was thanks to Li Tingxi's skillful methods that it was possible.

“The biggest flaw right now is your mother.” Li Tingxi frowned. “Given Old Master Yin’s temperament, he will definitely send someone to stake out your mother and confirm in person whether she is the old friend he is looking for. Once they meet, all the pretense will fall apart.”

"I understand." Su Youling's face was serious. Thinking of her mother's rejection and discomfort when mentioning the old friend, and the seemingly warm but actually oppressive Xiyuan Villa, she was constantly reminded of the working-class life she had been trapped by Li Tingxi's side for the past three years.

Now that her mother had finally given birth to a new life, she would absolutely not let anyone ruin it.

"I'll follow your arrangements. Once I feel a little better, I'll move out with my mom first." Su Youling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Tingxi with concern and said, "No matter what, you must have a way out for yourself."

"You care about me?" Li Tingxi's mood became very pleasant, and he pinched Su Youling's nose and tapped it affectionately.

Su Youling pursed her lips and said angrily, "I'm afraid... I'll be implicated by you!"

Saying one thing and meaning another!

Li Tingxi snorted in dissatisfaction, lifted her chin, and kissed her lips lightly. He originally wanted to have a deeper conversation, but Su Youling was weak after the surgery and couldn't hold on for long. Her pale face was heartbreaking.

With a stern face, he pressed Su Youling back into bed, saying, "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Su Youling's eyes warmed, sparkling with light.

She vowed in her heart that if Li Tingxi was truly willing to go all out for her, she would not be afraid of the storm, provided that Li Tingxi and Shen Xiyue's divorce could actually be completed.

Li Mufeng said that Shen Xiyue would be returning to China soon, she

She came here to win back Li Tingxi, but will everything really go so smoothly?

...

On the third day after the surgery, Su Youling was transferred to another hospital, and Su Hong also moved to a new place where Xiao Lin took care of her.

The men that Old Master Yin sent to keep watch came up empty-handed. Shi Yan tried to visit Su Youling several times, but couldn't find a trace of her.

Fortunately, the Yin family was busy dealing with the Lu family and couldn't spare any extra attention for the time being. Su Youling had been living peacefully these past few days, unaware that the world outside had been turned upside down.

"With the Yin family leading the attack and Li Tingxi providing behind-the-scenes support, even if the Lu family is a skyscraper, it's on the verge of collapse," Wei Ning exclaimed dramatically. "President Li must have acted impulsively for the sake of a woman! Aren't you moved? Still trying to run away?"

"Shut your mouth." Su Youling stuffed an apple into his mouth, then frowned, as if thinking of something. "Have you found out about the drugging?"

Wei Ning took a bite of her apple. "It's Lu Chennuan, the waiter who ran away. Your husband caught him and brought him before Old Master Yin to apologize. Otherwise, do you think that old fox Old Master Yin would cooperate with your husband so easily?"

She keeps calling him "husband"...

Su Youling glared at him. "Wei Ning, how much money did Li Tingxi give you? Did you betray us?"

"Ahem, don't say that. Besides money, we also have a strong revolutionary friendship." Wei Ning dared not say that Li Tingxi had been eyeing him for a long time. "Don't worry, at least Li Tingxi doesn't know about your cooperation with Li Mufeng."

"Oh right, I heard that Lu Han went in, and the Lu family has no intention of saving him. Now the Lu family is in complete ruin. Lu Chennuan can't find the Yin family, she can't find Li Tingxi, and she was humiliated by Shi Yan. Now she can only frantically look for you."

“This private hospital has strict security; even if she finds it, she won’t be able to get in.” Just as Su Youling finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
