Chapter 19 His Possessiveness

Su Youling quickly recovered and hung up the phone, staring at Li Tingxi in shock. "Why are you here again?"

She was in a daze, thinking she was in a hospital. Then she looked around and realized that she was in the Li Mansion. What was wrong with Li Tingxi going back to his own home?

"Sorry, I was still half asleep." Su Youling apologized honestly, looking at the man's face with the expression of someone who had been cuckolded, afraid that he would go crazy like that night. Right now, she didn't have the energy to deal with him, let alone the strength to run away again.

"Li Tingxi, don't be angry. Getting angry all the time is bad for your health." She spoke slowly, trying to soothe the man's anger with gentle words. "Ever since you brought Miss Lin home to stay overnight last time, I've felt that it's really not appropriate for me to stay here anymore."

Li Tingxi sneered, not believing her nonsense at all. He leaned down, pinched her chin, and said sarcastically, "You think you can shift the blame to me for everything just because you have Lin Lexi as a shield?"

“My mother’s surgery is coming up soon, so I want to move to a place near the nursing home so I can spend more time with her. It’s not convenient to stay at the Li Mansion anymore.” Su Youling’s chin was being pinched so hard it hurt, but she couldn’t resist, otherwise it would only anger Li Tingxi more. “That person just now was my former classmate. He charges for helping me find a place. He’s very stingy. If he said we should live together, he probably just wants to squeeze money out of me for rent. It’s not what you think.”

Looking into her sincere yet helpless eyes felt like a blow to his heart, shattering his composure and pride, and dispelling his inexplicable anger and possessiveness.

"I don't care who you're with at all." Li Tingxi coldly released her, his gaze sweeping over her without any politeness, as if he wanted to strip her naked. "I just want to warn you that the one-month period is not over yet, so don't go around flirting and causing trouble."

After saying that, he walked away expressionlessly.

Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief, but her forehead was covered in cold sweat again.

She figured this place was really no longer safe to live in. Li Tingxi's personality was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and sometimes even she couldn't figure out what he was going to do.

Su Youling called Wei Ning back and gave him a good scolding: "Be a decent human being, Wei Ning! Learn to speak like a human being. Who wants to live with a heartless landlord like you?"

Wei Ning had just heard the man's questioning voice and knew she had probably gotten herself into trouble. She wisely chose not to mention it. "It's just a house in a sanatorium, right? I found a suite with a beautiful view, friendly neighbors, and reliable property management. You can move in anytime, one month's rent as deposit and one month's rent in advance. Oh, and don't forget to pay me one month's rent as a commission."

Su Youling wasn't surprised at all that he could say, "I'm moving tomorrow. I want to get the agency fee. I'll drive over tomorrow to help me move my things."

Wei Ning's calculations were quite clear: "Then you should charge according to the market price. I'm not a casual man."

"Get lost!" Su Youling hung up the phone, feeling much more relaxed. She paused for a moment when she saw the water glass by the bedside and the fever reducers scattered on the blanket and the floor.

Was the person who just fed her water and medicine Li Tingxi?

He should be busy at the company at this time... So did he come back specifically to see her?

She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Li Tingxi's thoughts.

After resting for another day and night, and sweating profusely, Su Youling's fever finally subsided, and she felt much better.

Because of a work injury, Su Youling applied for a week's leave from the company. The HR department readily told her that President Li had already instructed her to rest and recuperate, as a woman's face must not be left with scars.

The implication was that if she were disfigured, she would be even less able to compete with Lin Lexi.

Su Youling listened with a heart full of joy

What's funny to Li Tingxi is that both her face and Lin Lexi's temperament are thanks to Shen Xiyue that she was able to win his favor.

When one stand-in is gone, a new one will appear.

She had long since accepted her place and had nothing to compete with.

While packing her luggage, Su Youling realized that she and Li Tingxi had actually lived and eaten together for three years. The closet was filled with their clothes, and the bathroom contained toiletries for two people. Everywhere there were traces of their past intimacy.

Seeing this, she suddenly understood Li Tingxi's recent strange behavior. It was probably his possessiveness acting up. After all, she was his wife of three years, and he had been raising her in name and in reality for three years. Even a cat or dog would have developed feelings for her, let alone a living person.

Li Tingxi was just not used to it.

As long as she leaves as soon as possible, he will be able to forget about her and get rid of her completely.

After packing her things, Su Youling was about to call Wei Ning, who was slacking off, to urge him on when Qin He and his men arrived first to pack up Li Tingxi's things.

“Madam, President Li is taking Secretary Lin to a European jewelry exhibition for study and observation. He instructed that you stay at home and do your job well.” Qin He pretended not to see the several large suitcases of luggage behind her. “There may be people coming to the old house soon, and we will have to trouble you to entertain them.”

Su Youling couldn't help but grind her teeth.

She naturally kept her true identity a secret from the Li family, but the two elders of the Li family still had many opinions about her and the Shen family. So after their marriage, they lived separately and rarely interacted with the people in the old house except for family banquets during holidays. She never went out of her way to cause trouble, and the people in the old house would not cause them any unpleasantness either.

Why would anyone come to the old house out of the blue?

It must be Li Tingxi who did something.

Su Youling felt that Li Tingxi was doing it on purpose, but Qin He brought up the agreement, so she had no choice but to stay temporarily. However, she felt uncomfortable staying at home in a place where she had been living in a daze for three years without feeling awkward.

After thinking about it, Su Youling decided to move some of her belongings to the newly rented house as planned. The environment was indeed beautiful and quiet, and most importantly, it was only a ten-minute walk from the sanatorium, which was quite convenient.

Wei Ning's car couldn't enter the Li Mansion, and Su Youling had no intention of letting anyone know about her relationship with Li Tingxi, so she only gave them a general address outside the villa area and pushed her luggage out herself.

Seeing the gauze on Su Youling's face, Wei Ning was startled. "You weren't a victim of domestic violence, were you? You live in such a wealthy area, did you marry into a rich family or are you being kept by an older, wealthy man? Your man misunderstood me when I called yesterday?"

Su Youling rolled her eyes at him. "So what if I am? Are you going to pay my medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress?"

"The weather is nice, and the days are good too, perfect for moving to a new house! Come on, let's move the luggage!" Wei Ning, with his chestnut-brown short hair, shook his head like a rattle drum. His handsome face clearly looked human, but he just wouldn't do anything human.

Su Youling firmly grasped this money-grubber, and after giving him the money, she discarded him and drove him away, finally giving her some peace and quiet.

The new house has already been cleaned by a housekeeping service, it's 100% move-in ready, so she doesn't have to worry about anything. At least Wei Ning did something decent.

After a few minutes of peace, Su Youling received another call from the company's production department.

"Director, the new goods delivered by the Chenzhou factory this time contain a lot of inferior jewelry raw materials. However, because the Chenzhou factory is a long-term partner of ours, the purchasing department did not check carefully before signing the order. Now there is a mess, and the factory and the purchasing department are blaming each other, which has escalated."
