Chapter 351 Behave Yourself, Don't Act Up

Su Youling yawned, and fearing that Wen Xi would worry, she prepared to go outside to make a phone call.

I happened to overhear the nurses chatting late at night.

"The trending topic seems to have been removed? It must have been CEO Li who did it, to protect his woman and child!"

"Li Tingxi really has the aura of a domineering CEO, I like him so much."

"Stop being a fangirl, it's like you've actually met him in person. Back in the day, I genuinely shipped him and his late wife, but I didn't expect him to be so low-key these past few years. I almost forgot how handsome he was."

"His looks and physique are truly out of this world. Even with such a blurry photo, you can still feel his stunning good looks and powerful aura. It's incredible."

"Am I the only one concerned about that woman and her three children? Where did she come from? Haven't there been rumors circulating that Li Tingxi and that Kana are secretly married and have a daughter?"

"Li Tingxi is a typical scumbag and playboy. He's juggling multiple women and writing 'stand-in literature' while simultaneously cultivating a devoted and affectionate persona in front of the public. It's disgusting. It's just a pity for Karina, who's been used as a backup option for so long without even a proper title."

"Who told her she doesn't look like Su Youling? I still remember that woman in the photo, even though it was just a profile, she looked a bit like the deceased Su Youling. And those children..."

"Come on, that photo is so blurry it looks like an abstract painting. Even adults can't see it clearly, so how could anyone see a child who's just three little squares? The trending topic has been taken down, so stop gossiping about other rich people's scandalous affairs. What does it have to do with us?"

Just then, the round-faced nurse who had been listening to everyone gossip suddenly looked thoughtfully at the ward she was caring for. "Why do I feel like the couple I just treated looks a bit like the ones in the photo?"

She doesn't gossip about the romantic affairs of the wealthy, but she was forced to look at the photos trending on social media along with her colleagues.

I didn't think they looked familiar at the time, until I saw this impressive young couple again.

The nurse couldn't help but recall seeing their two children earlier.

Everything seems to make sense?

"Stop kidding! Aren't you and your husband having a pretty tragic life?"

Someone immediately retorted, "This divorced mother married such a handsome and loving man with two children, and she's still not satisfied, abusing and bullying him all the time. Don't you think this woman is crazy? What a waste of such a beautiful face!"

Su Youling, who was eavesdropping, was speechless.

What exactly did the nurse say about her behind her back?

Can this rumor be any more reliable?

"That makes sense. Li Tingxi is a business tycoon. Even if he finds a substitute to have a child, he wouldn't be a sucker! The woman and child would have to obey him. Why would they live such a humble life?" The round-faced nurse dismissed her wild speculation, but she was still a little uncertain.

Unfortunately, the trending topic was removed, and the photo is gone.

Otherwise, we could compare them more carefully.

After the gossipy nurses dispersed, Su Youling walked out with a dark expression, feeling an urge to grab Li Tingxi and beat him up again.

Just then, Wenxi's worried voice came through the phone, "Baby, are you still listening to me? What happened? I feel like your breathing is murderous."

Su Youling choked for a moment, "When did you become so knowledgeable about my breathing?"

"Hehe, I just love you so much." Wen Xi became serious for a moment, "What's the situation between you and Li Tingxi now?"

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

"Have you made up?"

"No, it's just..." Su Youling took a deep breath, and cold sweat broke out on her back as she thought of how crazy the two of them had been before. "I just didn't want to make things difficult for myself, so I wanted to see what other tricks he could come up with."

Wen Xi remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "I knew this day would come sooner or later. So, are we still sending the babies away tomorrow?"

“Of course,” Su Youling said without hesitation. “I’m just giving Li Tingxi a chance. We absolutely cannot reveal our hand now. It’s too risky for the children to have too much contact with him. I’m not at ease with that.”

"I understand. Can you make it back to see me off at the airport?" Wenxi asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Su Youling put away her phone and had just reached the door of the ward when she saw Li Tingxi struggling to get out of bed, looking very unwell.

"What are you doing?" Su Youling rushed in, opening the door and supporting the staggering Li Tingxi. "Can't you press the call button? Don't you think your concussion isn't serious enough?"

Li Tingxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hugged her tightly. "Thank goodness, you're still here! I thought... I thought you were gone! Thank goodness, it wasn't a dream."

His voice was filled with undisguised panic and helplessness, as aggrieved as a child who had lost his beloved toy and was now overjoyed to have it back.

"Did you hit your head and make it stupid?" Su Youling was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously put her arm around his shoulder and patted him. In a daze, she thought she was comforting her little one at home, and she no longer had the rejection and disgust she had shown before.

“If being stupid makes you stay this gentle to me, then it’s not impossible.” Li Tingxi hugged her waist, his dark pupils staring at her. “Su Su, lie down with me for a while. I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares again.”

Su Youling looked at the cold sweat on his forehead; it didn't seem like he was lying.

But she wisely refrained from asking about the nightmare, instead pressing the person down to lie down, and then turned to lie down on the accompanying bed to the side.

“Sleep next to me.” Li Tingxi lay on his side, holding Su Youling’s hand, looking at her intently without letting go, but he didn’t forcefully order her around.

That kind of vulnerable, soft look shouldn't be on his face.

It's just too irresistible.

After a while, Su Youling couldn't resist him and was really sleepy, so she simply got into bed and lay down next to him. "Behave yourself and stop causing trouble."

Li Tingxi held her in his arms with satisfaction, "I'll listen to you."

Although sleeping on my side isn't very comfortable, with this person in my arms, everything feels just right.

Suddenly remembering something, he opened his eyes. "Do you really have to send the children abroad? Yueyue and the others will miss you terribly."

Su Youling closed her eyes and said, "My mother hasn't been feeling well lately, and she misses the children very much. I'm busy with work and can't be with her, so I'm asking the children to go back and keep her company."

Realizing that Li Tingxi's question was a trap, she didn't mention that she would return to Atlanta after finishing her work, so as not to provoke unnecessary conflict.

Hearing her say that, and finding the reason irresistible, Li Tingxi lost all desire to continue probing and unconsciously tightened his embrace. "Then let's go to the airport together to see her off. Otherwise, we won't see Yueyue for a long time, and we'll definitely miss her a lot."

Su Youling paused for a moment, then said, "We'll see if the doctor will let you leave the hospital."

"Okay." Li Tingxi's eyes lit up when he saw that she didn't refuse.

"If you have time, I'll go with you to see your mother."

Su Youling neither nodded nor refused; it seemed she had fallen asleep.
