Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 307 The three little brats are all too amazing
Su Youling was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She pinched the little guy's cheek; the soft, rosy skin made her heart flutter. "You like Li Tingxi that much?"
Hmm~
The little guy smacked his lips, making indistinct and cute little syllables, and nibbled on her arm, smearing Su Youling's arm with saliva, as if responding to her question.
"You!" Su Youling kissed her daughter's nose, smiling helplessly and with heartache.
Is this what bloodline nature is all about?
Yueyue always listened to her, but this time after returning to the country, even though she repeatedly told her not to continue seeing Li Tingxi...
Although the little guy compromised, he still couldn't help but like him!
Feeling troubled, Su Youling held her daughter and slept for a while before getting up to leave, her mind buzzing.
One moment it was Ding Muyan's meaningful smile, the next it was Li Tingxi's burning, following gaze.
It seems like this trip back to China has brought more and more trouble.
After Su Youling carefully closed the door and left, Yangyang, who was fast asleep on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and silently turned over.
He looked at the doorway, then at his younger sister.
The little guy frowned.
Mommy looks very sad tonight. Is it because of that wicked Li Tingxi?
Or is it because the work meeting tonight didn't go well?
Faint voices could be heard coming from the living room. Yangyang hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed quietly toward the door...
In the living room.
Wen Xi yawned, glancing at Su Youling while drinking water. "Your mood is really off tonight. Didn't you go to a banquet? Did the cruise ship bring back your old trauma? Or did you run into someone you don't like?"
Having spent so much time together, Wen Xi is someone who seems carefree but is actually very meticulous and sensitive to Su Youling's emotional changes.

Lingdu was surprised.
"You're so good at spotting me, how come you have such bad taste in men?" Su Youling teased.
She witnessed firsthand the fascinating spectacle of Wenxi constantly changing boyfriends.
Unfortunately, she was always sincere, but every time she fell for a jerk. Her relationships were passionate, but the breakups were always heartbreaking.
It's both laughable and frustrating.
"Don't rub salt in my wounds like that." Wen Xi pouted. "Those wild men outside are all unreliable, so I shamelessly came back with you to heal my heartbreak and also to see if there are any better boyfriends in China."
"All crows are black, so don't try to find a peacock among pheasants, or your love life will be very smooth." Su Youling smiled, but then suddenly thought of herself and couldn't smile anymore.
"Li Tingxi isn't just a peacock, he's a phoenix. I heard he's been looking for you for the past five years. In a way, he's quite devoted..."
Wen Xi paused, then, noticing Su Youling's unusual expression, asked in shock, "Did you see him tonight?"
“Smart.” Su Youling pinched the bridge of her nose. “He… seems to have changed, but his domineering and stubborn nature is still the same.”
Although Li Tingxi didn't insist on bothering her today, he still felt that things had gotten to this point and wouldn't end so easily.
"He...didn't he go back to City A?" Wen Xi asked in shock. "He abandoned the company and went to attend some cruise ship banquet? Was he just bored?"
"It's Ding Muyan." Su Youling realized that Amy's appearance was definitely not a coincidence.
Connection between before and after
Perhaps Ding Muyan invited him in the first place so that Li Tingxi would appear here.
But what is his purpose?
Is it aimed at Li Tingxi, or at her? Or something else?
“When I first met Ding Muyan, I felt that he wasn’t as easy to get along with as he seemed on the surface, but at least back then I could glean some insight into his inner thoughts from his words and actions. This time, after returning to China and meeting him again, he has become much more unfathomable.” Su Youling frowned.
He always exuded an unsettling aura of 'annihilating enemy ships with a laugh,' making people want to keep their distance.
"I never expected that Ding Muyan would turn out to be a bad guy. I misjudged him again. I was even thinking that he would have a chance to become the stepfather of the three kids!" Wen Xi said indignantly.
“Wenxi!” Su Youling suddenly turned around and stared at her intently. “I want to send the children abroad first! And stay here…”
"Afraid of being discovered by Li Tingxi, they'll become even more entangled?" Wen Xi understood. Although she looked reluctant, they had important business to attend to when they returned, and they couldn't keep the kids tied to their belts all the time.
Especially given Yueyue's feelings for Li Tingxi, it's bound to come to light sooner or later.
"I'll take care of everything, don't worry." She breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just that the three little ones are too clever, so you need to be careful to keep them calm and don't let them see anything."
Su Youling pinched the bridge of her nose, forcibly suppressing the reluctance in her heart. "Don't worry, I'll find a way. I'll spend more time with them these next few days when I have more free time."
I had just settled into the kindergarten when this unexpected incident occurred.
She couldn't let the children stay without a clear conscience if Li Tingxi didn't leave City C.
But even when she was busy before, she would always kiss her three children when she got home at night, and the mother and children were rarely separated for long periods. This time, for a project in China, she will probably have to endure the pain of separation.

Alright.
Just a door away, Yangyang leaned against the wall, blinking her cold eyes.
It seems that Li Tingxi really is their father!
However, Mom's attitude was still clearly one of rejection, and she was even worried that Li Tingxi would recognize the truth about his background after seeing them, so she couldn't wait to send them away!
When the Li family was in such big trouble before, he didn't leave. Was it because of his mother?
Yangyang touched his little face and frowned.
Xingxing and Yueyue had both directly interacted with Li Tingxi, but only he...
This face looks too much like Li Tingxi's, so Mommy doesn't want him to face Li Tingxi.
We need to find a way to get Li Tingxi out of City C as soon as possible, so that Mommy won't send them away.
otherwise--
Yangyang walked to Yueyue's bedside and sighed silently.
My sister will be very sad.
...
The next day.
Li Tingxi had a rare good night's sleep, and when he woke up, he was in a great mood, thinking about how to create a chance encounter or find an excuse to meet Su Su.
His good mood lasted less than three seconds when he received a call from the old house in City A, saying that his father had fallen ill again and had been rushed to the hospital overnight, and that he should go back and check on him.
Li Tingxi said expressionlessly, "I'm not a doctor. Going back might only make the old man angry. You all take good care of him."
I had just hung up the phone at the old house when the call from headquarters came in again.
"President Li, the situation is bad. Although the hacker let our technical department go, several overseas cooperation projects suddenly ran into trouble this morning. It's obvious that it's targeting Li's Group. You'd better come back and deal with it as soon as possible." The vice president's voice was almost crying, and you could hear the frequency of his balding hair in his voice.
