Chapter 183 A Match Made in Heaven

Thinking of this, Su Youling suppressed the turmoil in her heart, put on a calm and aloof expression, and tried her best to ignore the domineering gaze staring at her from the side.

Li Tingxi naturally noticed Su Youling's sudden coldness and was somewhat puzzled. Was it because his tone was too harsh? Was she upset?

He reflected for a while, opened his mouth as if to coax her, but Qin He pushed the door open and came in.

"President, Madam, the medicine is ready." Qin He took a cup and a box of pale yellow pills, the same potent medicine that Lu Chennuan had previously had put in her juice.

Li Tingxi frowned and gave Qin He a cold look.

Qin He “…”

What did I do wrong again?

Li Tingxi walked to Su Youling's side, casually put his arm around her shoulder, and handed her a cheese stick with one hand. "I bought this on the way here."

Su Youling glanced at him but did not struggle.

She took the cheese stick but didn't tear it open, feeling a mix of emotions.

Li Tingxi is getting better and better at it.

She had to constantly put on her armor, fearing she wouldn't be able to withstand the attack.

Undeniably, she already felt sweet inside even before she took a bite of the cheese stick.

At this moment, Lu Chennuan, belatedly realizing what was happening, changed her expression, snapping out of her reverie and looking at the medicine in Qin He's hand. She was plunged back into her own predicament, her eyes trembling. "I won't take it. Take it away..."

“Take your medicine, and I guarantee the Li family will no longer interfere in anything the Lu family does.” Su Youling put down her water glass, suppressing the bitterness between her lips and teeth, and coldly looked at Lu Chennuan, whose expression had collapsed. “If you’re not too late, I won’t make things difficult for you, but with the Li family and the Yin family joining forces, I think you know how long the Lu family can hold out.”

A struggle flashed in Lu Chennuan's eyes, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip.

When had she ever suffered such humiliation? However, more than her current dignity, she did not want to lose the power and status she had relied on for so long.

"I'll eat it!" he practically squeezed out through his teeth.

They've arrived.

Su Youling was not surprised at all. She beckoned Qin He to give her the medicine. "I hate being taken advantage of. You should know how much you gave me that day. I'm just waiting to see your sincerity, Miss Lu."

Lu Chennuan's hands were trembling when she took the medicine box. She hesitated and put three pills into her mouth. Seeing that Su Youling had no intention of stopping her, she gritted her teeth and put a few more pills into her mouth, then drank half a cup of water.

Finally, she opened her mouth, her face deathly pale, and asked Su Youling, "Mrs. Li, are you satisfied now?"

Su Youling raised an eyebrow noncommittally, then turned to Qin He, "How long does it take for the effects of this medicine to take hold?"

Qin He glanced at Li Tingxi with a slightly embarrassed expression, then cleared his throat as if to say, "It shouldn't take more than half an hour."

Su Youling clicked her tongue, rested her chin on her hand and leaned her elbow against the edge of the bed, and glanced at Lu Chennuan casually, "In that case, let's wait for the drug to take effect before sending her away."

From Li Tingxi's perspective, although she didn't show any expression, her eyes inexplicably revealed a sly and mischievous meaning, making him feel a strange itch in his heart.

Compared to the submissive Su Youling used to put on in front of him, he definitely preferred her real and multifaceted self.

Perhaps due to the large dosage, the medication took effect faster than expected.

When Lu Chennuan went out, her face was already flushed, and her steps were a little unsteady.

At Su Youling's behest, Qin He escorted her away from the hospital, only to be violently pushed away by her, who seemed to want to avoid him at all costs.

Su Youling found the way he looked, as if he was afraid of being tainted by "lower-class people," quite amusing.

This medicine is potent.

She had already witnessed it all. When Lu Chennuan ate it, she should have known what fate awaited her. Her current insistence was only because she valued her status and felt that only men from prominent families were worthy of her.

Unfortunately, once the drug takes full effect in public, does she have a choice?

Just like that night at the Yin family banquet, when Su Youling's drug took effect, if Li Tingxi hadn't appeared in time, what awaited her would undoubtedly have been a painful experience that could have ruined her life.

Su Youling only had to recall it briefly before a chill ran down her spine again, making her feel a wave of fear.

She turned around as if waking from a dream when she felt a burning heat on the back of her hand, only to meet Li Tingxi's unfathomable eyes, where dark currents seemed to be surging.

Her emotions were too complex for her to see clearly.

"Li Tingxi, do you think I'm very vicious?" Su Youling knew exactly what she was testing, and she couldn't hide her secret expectations.

Since she chose to do this, it means that Li Tingxi's position in her heart has become more and more important without her realizing it.

Even if this wasn't necessarily a good thing, she found herself uncontrollably trying to lay herself bare before him, instead of wearing the mask of a substitute as before.

Li Tingxi slowly leaned down, looking intently into her eyes, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you know what you look like right now?"

Su Youling was stunned for a moment. "What?"

“Like a domineering little tiger, baring your fangs and claws at me, telling me you’re not to be trifled with, but I’m not afraid at all,” Li Tingxi said, leaning close to her ear and sighing softly. “I just wish you were a little more ruthless, a little more wicked, so that I would naturally think that we are a match made in heaven.”

Realizing that he was indirectly confessing his feelings, Su Youling's heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Come.

The heat on her cheeks made her lose her composure instantly. Almost frantically, she pushed Li Tingxi away, deliberately misinterpreting his meaning: "Are you indirectly calling me a tigress?"

Li Tingxi glanced at her bright red ears, a barely perceptible smile appearing in his eyes. "What if I said I like tigresses?"

Su Youling now avoided eye contact with him.

She realized that ever since Li Tingxi proposed last time, he seemed to have entered a courtship phase. The more she followed his lead, the more he would lead her by the nose. She simply couldn't outmaneuver him.

...

Lu Chennuan practically forced herself to walk to the hospital entrance.

Her body temperature suddenly rose, making her feel like she was in a furnace, and the water in her body seemed to evaporate. She now desperately craved "water".

This desire surged even more intensely when she sensed the hormonal scent emanating from the passing man; the drug's potency far exceeded her expectations.

Lu Chennuan couldn't help but stop and lean against the wall, curling herself up, but no matter what she did, she couldn't stop the panting that escaped from her lips.

Many strange and suggestive gazes lingered on Lu Chennuan, making her body feel increasingly hot and unbearable.

Her remaining rationality made her instinctively pinch her arm with her nails, trying to stay awake.

No, Lu Chennuan, these lowly people would be disgracing you if they even glanced at you. Only Shi Yan is worthy of you!

Lu Chennuan bit her lower lip tightly until her mind cleared up a bit before continuing to stagger out.

She had barely made it to the hospital entrance and was just about to get into her car when a figure suddenly darted out from the side and grabbed her wrist. "Ms. Lu, I was fired from the hospital for leaking patient information. It was all because of you. You have to help me!"
