Chapter 273 Almost Collided

Li Tingxi zoomed in on the surveillance video of the elevator on the first floor, then rewound and watched it several times, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Qin He and his group behind him looked at each other in bewilderment.

"President Li, you must have seen it wrong, right?" What Qin He really wanted to say was that he was probably hallucinating.

Over the past five years, similar things have happened countless times. Every time Li Tingxi sees even a silhouette that resembles Su Youling, he goes to great lengths to make such a scene, only to be disappointed in the end.

Upon hearing Qin He's words, Li Tingxi even began to doubt whether he had gone mad with qi.

Su Youling, who had been waiting outside, felt relieved after confirming that Li Tingxi and his group had failed to find anything on the surveillance footage. She didn't dare to go out to buy porridge and immediately went back to the ward via the stairs.

Although Yangyang has already dealt with the surveillance footage, it's still not advisable to stay at the hospital for long; the risk of running into Li Tingxi head-on is too great.

Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, it was determined that Yueyue could be discharged from the hospital at this time, and she only needs to take her medicine on time after returning home.

Su Youling told Yueyue to wait in the ward while she went downstairs to get the medicine.

However, she had only been gone a short while when Yueyue, who had just promised to wait for her to return, suddenly smelled an enticing aroma coming from outside. Her hungry stomach growled even louder, and she couldn't help but run out.

After leaving the monitoring room, Li Tingxi looked dejected and lost all interest in buying breakfast for Lele again. He left the task to Qin He and wandered aimlessly around the first floor.

His gaze kept sweeping across the faces of the people passing by, and he still held onto the hope that he could see that profile again.

Suddenly, a little bundle of joy wearing a bear hoodie came into view, toddling across the corridor with its short legs.

Li Tingxi thought she looked familiar. He took a closer look and was stunned when he saw Yueyue's rosy little face. Then, the next second, he saw her chasing after a nurse pushing a hospital food cart.

The little guy's big, dark eyes seemed to be glued to the food cart, making his mouth water.

The nurse noticed the little girl at her feet, stopped, smiled, and patted her head. She seemed to ask her something, and Yueyue looked a little embarrassed, but her eyes remained fixed on the food cart.

It seems that every time you see this little girl, she's craving food. Her longing and obedient appearance makes it hard not to feel affection for her.

With a slight thought, Li Tingxi walked over.

"Yueyue." Li Tingxi's tone was so familiar and gentle that even he was surprised.

The little girl turned her head in confusion, and when she saw it was him, her eyes widened in surprise and delight: "Handsome uncle!"

But in an instant, her big eyes filled with worry as she looked up at Li Tingxi, "Is handsome uncle sick too?"

Li Tingxi was deeply moved, his heart softening completely. He knelt down, patted her head, and shook his head with a smile: "It's not that Uncle is sick, Uncle is just keeping you company..."

After a pause, recalling the two conflicts between Yueyue and Lele, he gave a vague answer: "I came with a friend."

He looked at the food cart, amused and affectionate, and said, "Has Yueyue not had breakfast? Uncle will buy you some, okay?"

Yueyue's stomach growled loudly again, and she blushed but didn't refuse.

Li Tingxi bought a bunch of her favorite foods, and worried that she might burn herself if she held them herself, so he took her to the small garden, sat down, and fed her the food by hand.

Yueyue was a little embarrassed at first, but later

He ate heartily, swinging his legs with gusto, and told him, "Uncle, I'll have my mom give you the money I used to buy breakfast."

Li Tingxi gently removed the grains of rice from the corner of her mouth, without arguing with her, and raised an eyebrow, "Does your mommy know you snuck out?"

The little girl let out a cute burp, then her eyes darted around guiltily.

Li Tingxi couldn't help but chuckle, pinching her cheek gently. "Your mommy must be so worried. Do you remember her phone number? Let's call her and let her know, then Uncle will stay here with you and wait for her."

Looking at his gentle, smiling face, Yueyue felt that he wasn't as bad as Yangyang and Xingxing had described.

If he really is their daddy, and if mommy can reconcile with him after seeing him, can their family be reunited?

Yueyue became happier and happier as she thought about it, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Tingxi. "Handsome uncle, I'll take you to my mommy right now and ask her to give you money, okay?"

Li Tingxi thought about it and decided that it would be good if he could send the little girl back safely, so he agreed.

Unable to contain her excitement, Yueyue skipped and hopped towards the ward, holding Li Tingxi's hand. Along the way, she tearfully told him about her stomachache and how she had been brought to the hospital the previous night, and also told him never to get sick.

Li Tingxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that this little girl was simply an angel sent from heaven.

Meanwhile, Su Youling was so anxious that she searched the entire floor after returning home from getting the medicine and not seeing Yueyue.

Just as I was about to go downstairs to continue my search, the elevator doors opened at the other end.

Hearing Yueyue's voice from afar, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and was about to turn around when Li Tingxi's voice followed.

Su Youling's expression changed, and she slammed on the brakes, quickly hiding in the emergency exit. She pressed her back against the wall, holding her breath as she listened to Li Tingxi's footsteps getting closer and closer, her heart clenching involuntarily.

Yueyue's ward was right next to the emergency exit. She was on edge, and even after Li Tingxi and Yueyue went in, she still didn't dare to relax. Her mind was like a pot of boiling oil.

She had tried her best to avoid it, so why did Li Tingxi still run into Yueyue?

Inside the ward, Yueyue didn't see Su Youling, and her hopes were dashed, but she refused to give up. She walked over and carefully grabbed Li Tingxi's trouser leg, blinking her eyes twice. "Handsome uncle, my mommy seems to be lost. Can you help me call her?"

Li Tingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and took out his phone to let her dial the number herself.

Su Youling, inside the emergency exit, was so nervous her heart almost stopped. She sighed inwardly at how her daughter had let her down and quickly silenced her phone.

Despite calling repeatedly without getting an answer, she persisted in calling every month.

Li Tingxi seemed determined to stay in the ward until her mother arrived before leaving.

Just as Su Youling was racking her brains and didn't know what to do, Wen Xi arrived at the ward in time.

Yueyue wanted to ask her where Su Youling had gone, but just as she was about to speak, Wenxi walked over and hugged her tightly, covering her mouth with her back to Li Tingxi and blinking at her frantically.

Upon seeing Yueyue's mother return, Li Tingxi glanced at his watch, briefly explained what had happened, and prepared to leave.

Wen Xi turned around and gave Li Tingxi a grateful smile: "Thank you for bringing my daughter back. I'll transfer the breakfast money to you."

"No need, it's just a small amount of money." Li Tingxi walked away without looking back.
