Chapter 220 Falling in Love

Although Li Tingxi's curiosity was piqued, he was able to remain patient and did not intend to pry. "I'm worried about you living alone in the villa. I've already notified Wei Ning to move in and protect you. He should be here soon. If you're bored, you can ask him to go out with you anytime. After all, I paid for it, so just tell him what to do."

Su Youling couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Wei Ning is a top-notch hacker, isn't it a waste of his talent to use him as a bodyguard and playmate?"

“It’s precisely because he’s capable that I feel comfortable letting him stay by your side to protect you,” Li Tingxi paused, his tone turning cold. “If he couldn’t even handle this simple matter, then he wouldn’t need to be in the hacker world.”

Su Youling chuckled twice and changed the subject, asking about the Li family.

Li Tingxi only reported good news and concealed the fact that Li Fengmin and Li Qidong had caused trouble again, telling her that the public relations efforts were working and public opinion had improved.

While Su Youling was happy, she looked forward to the wedding of the two of them even more, so she subtly inquired about Li Tingxi's plans for the wedding.

To her even greater surprise, Li Tingxi did not act on his own initiative in this matter, but chose to respect her opinion. "I will listen to you. You can tell Qin He what you think first."

Su Youling was so moved that she could hardly bear it. But when she heard that Li Tingxi seemed to be busy, she could only reluctantly hang up the phone.

However, she could no longer contain her excitement and couldn't wait to share her happiness with others.

As luck would have it, the doorbell rang at that moment.

Su Youling raised an eyebrow, went downstairs to open the door, and Wei Ning swaggered in with his suitcase.

Here comes the sharing partner.

However, before that, she had a question she wanted to confirm the answer to.

Su Youling reached out to stop him, looking disgusted, and said, "You really don't consider yourself an outsider, do you? Change your shoes."

Wei Ning "..."

Thinking of the large commission Li Tingxi offered, he held back.

After changing his shoes, he picked up his suitcase and prepared to go upstairs, but was stopped by Su Youling again.

Su Youling stood on the stairs with her arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at him from above. "The master bedroom is upstairs. As for you, as a bodyguard and playmate, you can sleep on the first floor."

Wei Ning's forehead veins throbbed, and he forced a fake smile. "Isn't that unnecessary? Aren't there guest rooms? I can better ensure your safety by staying closer."

Su Youling looked completely smug, pointed at herself, then at him, and said, "I am the master, and you are the servant. You have no right to say no."

She had been taken advantage of by this guy countless times before in order to get his help, so now that she finally had a chance to step on his head, she was determined to get her revenge!

Wei Ning's face darkened, and he glared at her through gritted teeth, "Su Youling, that's enough. Don't force me to abandon my previous plan to escape..."

Su Youling immediately chickened out and quickly went over to cover his mouth. "Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. There's no need to make our relationship so awkward."

Wei Ning glanced at her sideways, went upstairs to put away her suitcase, and couldn't help but complain as she came down, "Li Tingxi is going too far, making me protect you personally. Isn't that a waste of his talents?"

Su Youling glanced at him sideways, "Then why don't you just reject him?"

"Don't even think about giving back the money that's in my pocket," Wei Ning said with a reluctant expression. "Considering how generous Li Tingxi is, I'll just have to swallow this and consider it a form of self-cultivation."

Su Youling

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, got up from the sofa, walked over and grabbed his sleeve. "Stop pretending. If you've taken the money, you have to follow professional ethics. Now come with me to buy some things."

Of course, it's not just about buying some things.

The Li family was embroiled in a media storm because of Li Tingxi's divorce. Now that things have calmed down a bit, Li Tingxi's remarriage will inevitably bring up a lot of negative news again.

Their happiness doesn't need to be announced to irrelevant people; the witness of those who care about each other is enough.

So Su Youling already had an idea for this wedding; she planned to hold a wedding attended only by relatives and friends from both sides.

After hearing Su Youling's explanation, Wei Ning wore a sickeningly sweet expression and looked at her with disdain. "Su Youling, do you even know what you're doing right now? Purely love-struck!"

Su Youling punched him irritably. "Stop talking nonsense. You're here to carry my bags. Do your job properly, or I'll tell Li Tingxi."

Wei Ning dared not speak out against her anger and could only follow behind her dutifully.

The two arrived at the department store, and Su Youling went straight to the baby care section.

Wei Ning showed no interest whatsoever, listlessly touching and looking at the items, then occasionally picking up small pieces and exclaiming in surprise, "This piece of clothing isn't even as big as my palm!"

"Such a small piece of fabric is so expensive? To be honest, kids these days are really precious."

"..."

Su Youling ignored his grumbling and looked at the little bottles and bibs on the shelf, her heart almost melting with cuteness.

In just a short while, she had already selected a large number of items.

Wei Ning was already speechless enough with her arms stuffed full, but then she held onto a few small clothes and looked at them with obvious delight. He couldn't resist and went over to snatch the things from her hands.

"Please, be a rational consumer, okay? I only have two hands. Let's do what we can afford. Even if you really empty this whole mall, you still have to consider whether the baby in your belly can use it."

Su Youling caught the sales assistant's kind smile, and somewhat awkwardly put the items back, muttering under her breath, "This is my first time being a mother, of course I want to give the baby the best of everything."

Wei Ning heard everything clearly and, fearing that she might do something rash and continue shopping, quickly pulled her away from the nursery area.

"So, when exactly are you planning to tell Li Tingxi about your pregnancy?" Wei Ning glanced at her slightly protruding belly out of the corner of his eye, feeling a bit of a headache. "If Li Tingxi finds out that I'm helping you hide it, won't I be in trouble as a result?"

Su Youling gently touched her lower abdomen, a sweet smile unconsciously appearing on her face. "Li Tingxi has been busy with company matters lately. I'll tell him this good news when he's resting and we have a date alone."

After saying that, she couldn't help but look forward to Li Tingxi's reaction.

Imagining the ecstatic expression on Li Tingxi's usually calm face, the corners of her mouth turned up even higher.

Upon seeing her expression, Wei Ning could roughly guess what she was thinking, and he immediately felt incredibly nauseous, his teeth aching from the sweetness.

He rubbed his arms. "I can't stand you being so infatuated. It's like your IQ has dropped to zero."

Su Youling rolled her eyes at him. "It's normal that a single dog like you can't understand. Anyway, you'll understand when you find someone you truly like."
