Chapter 218 Making Li Tingxi Fall in Love with You Again

While the Shen couple were still listing Li Tingxi's "crimes," it was Li Tingxi who immediately noticed Shen Xiyue's discomfort, stepped forward, pressed her shoulders, and helped her lie back down.

Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Shen were still making trouble, his face darkened, and he called his bodyguards to come in immediately and take Mr. and Mrs. Shen away.

Shen Xiyue nervously grabbed Li Tingxi's sleeve, but before she could plead for him, she was caught off guard.

Li Tingxi shut her up with one sentence: "Don't worry, since I promised to let them go, I won't do anything else. I'll just let them calm down first."

Shen Xiyue felt relieved, but also a little ashamed. "I'm sorry, my parents really went too far."

Li Tingxi didn't follow up on her words. Instead, he sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed and handed her the medicine and water glass. "There's no need to make things difficult for your body."

His tone was unusually calm, clearly without any hint of coaxing, but Shen Xiyue's eyes instantly reddened. "Tingxi, I don't want my leg to become a burden for you. If you really can't find the time... there's no need to rush to the hospital. I never intended to force you to take responsibility for the rest of my life; that wouldn't be fair to you."

Li Tingxi sighed almost imperceptibly, his gaze softening considerably as he looked at her earnestly, "Your accident was indeed caused by me, and moreover, you did it to save me. It's only natural for me to take care of you; you don't need to feel guilty."

Shen Xiyue was not as happy as she had imagined. The first thought that popped into her mind was that she was clearly taking the blame for Su Youling, so why was he taking the blame on her?

Upon realizing that she had actually had such a thought, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, and instinctively gripped the bed sheet even tighter.

How could she think that? It was clearly that woman named Zhao Xinning who hit her with her car.

Shen Xiyue's already pale face turned even whiter, as white as wallpaper.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Li Tingxi called out to her.

Shen Xiyue was startled, and when she came to her senses, she subconsciously pinched her palm.

Li Tingxi wasn't curious. He handed the medicine to her, then hesitated, "If it's inconvenient for you, do you want me to feed you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiyue's ears burned slightly. "No need, just help me up."

Li Tingxi stepped forward to help her, moving very gently, and considerately placed a pillow behind her back.

Shen Xiyue's feelings were complicated. These actions were ordinary for her mother, but when it was him, she even found it difficult to breathe.

Because they were so close, she could even faintly feel Li Tingxi's body temperature, which made her face start to heat up.

Li Tingxi's urging brought her back to her senses.

Shen Xiyue obediently finished taking her medicine, lay down, and looked at him expectantly. "You seem very busy today. I've already taken my medicine, and I should go to sleep when it takes effect. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

"It's alright, I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave." Li Tingxi pinched the bridge of his nose and leaned back in his chair.

Shen Xiyue blinked, her heart pounding.

She pulled the blanket up to cover her uncontrollable upturned smile.

She knew very well what all the signs meant; Li Tingxi had an influence on her that she had previously overlooked.

But why did she only realize it now?

The joy that had settled in Chen Xiyue's heart cooled down, replaced by a suffocating unease.

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

She felt surprisingly at ease staying quietly with Li Tingxi, but sleepiness just wouldn't come.

Perhaps a faint thought deep inside was keeping her eyelids open: Li Tingxi should stay with her a little longer.

Thinking this, Shen Xiyue couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Tingxi, only to notice that he had fallen asleep at some point.

She completely abandoned her fear and stared intently at Li Tingxi's face with almost greedy eyes.

This was the first time she had looked at Li Tingxi so closely since returning to China. There was no imperfection on his face, which made the dark circles under his eyes particularly glaring.

Shen Xiyue felt both heartache and sweetness. She had seen Li Tingxi's meticulous care for her these past few days, and even if it was out of guilt and a desire to make amends, she didn't mind.

Importantly, Li Tingxi's attitude towards her was no longer as cold as before, and she sometimes even felt as if she had returned to the time when they were dating.

For example, she remembers that once when she was injured, Li Tingxi carried her to the hospital and then stayed by her bedside just like he is now.

How wonderful it would be if everything could really go back to the way it was before.

Shen Xiyue stared intently at Li Tingxi's face, her mind uncontrollably filled with fantasies.

...

After a few days of rest, the inflammation on Shen Xiyue's leg had almost subsided, but she remained in a bad mood and her emotions were very unstable.

The doctor put a brace on her to prevent her from accidentally bumping into the wound.

Under the care of Shen Cong and his wife, as well as Li Tingxi, she recovered much faster than expected and was basically able to get out of bed, although she still needed assistance with her daily activities.

During this period, Li Tingxi had Qin He do a lot of work and finally contacted a well-known orthopedic expert abroad. After that, he immediately told Shen Xiyue about his idea.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiyue was not as happy as expected. Instead, her face was filled with complex emotions. "You want to send me abroad to treat my leg? Is there really any hope for my leg?"

She actually lacked confidence, after all, during this time, Shen Cong constantly used harsh words like "disabled" and "useless".

The reason why a father would go to such lengths to belittle his sick daughter is simply because she failed to win over Li Tingxi's heart and get him to agree to remarry her.

Shen Xiyue felt that compared to her physical disability, the harm Shen Cong had done to her was actually more cruel.

However, there's no need for Li Tingxi to know these things.

Seeing Shen Xiyue's negativity, Li Tingxi tried his best to persuade her, "Trust me, this expert has many successful cases, and you may become the next lucky one. Your injury cannot be delayed, and I will send you abroad for treatment as soon as possible."

Shen Xiyue lowered her face and subconsciously closed her eyes, unconsciously recalling the scene last night when Shen Cong and Shen's mother blamed her.

"You're hopelessly stupid. This is your only chance to hold onto Li Tingxi. Don't think I can't see that you can't let him go. Have you thought this through? If you don't use this opportunity to tie him down, he'll have no more worries and will soon be able to be openly with Su Youling."

“Yueyue, listen to your mother’s advice. If you continue like this, you may never find a man who truly cares for you again. Li Tingxi is the best choice. Even if he only feels guilty towards you now, as long as you spend more time together, he will eventually realize how good you are and fall in love with you again.”
