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 379 You're Forbidden to See Him Again
In the afternoon, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, bringing refreshing and bright sunshine that added a touch of warmth to the cold city.
Although it wasn't a weekend or holiday, the shopping mall was still bustling with people, and the sounds of children laughing and playing filled the entire children's area.
Su Youling sat on the sofa with a look of utter despair, realizing for the first time that shopping with a man was such a terrifying thing.
This is extremely rare in shopping malls.
In other stores, women shop with great interest while men wait impatiently, but here it's the other way around. Especially since the two of them are incredibly good-looking, like big stars, they naturally attract a lot of attention, and there are extra sales assistants to serve them.
Of course, the most important reason is that some people are too generous, almost to the point of buying up the entire children's section of the mall.
When Li Tingxi came to Su Youling for the 108th time with an exquisite doll figurine for her opinion, she couldn't help but retort, "Big brother, why don't you just buy the whole mall?"
Li Tingxi actually gave it a serious thought.
The sales assistant next to him immediately fixed her eyes on Li Tingxi's eyes.
Is it really that extravagant?
“Buying it isn’t necessary.” Li Tingxi thought about it seriously. “It seems that we have shares in this shopping mall. Su Su, these things don’t cost much, so don’t worry about me going bankrupt from buying them.”
Su Youling "..."
This is the largest international shopping mall in City C, with brands that are well-known in the Asian market. The big boss behind it is said to be a major European conglomerate.
Li Tingxi actually invested in it?
Was he still in school when this shopping mall became popular?
And he said it in such a forced and nonchalant tone, just how many terrifying businesses does he actually have?
"You...you're on the board of directors?" The sales assistant was equally dumbfounded.
This isn't just a nouveau riche; this is the second boss traveling incognito!
"I'm here to spend money." Li Tingxi was in an exceptionally pleasant mood today, and a luxurious smile even appeared on his lips as he looked at the stranger.

He smiled.
Every minute he spent with Su Youling, especially now, as they were out picking out gifts for their child like a married couple, filled his heart with a burst of energy, like popcorn exploding everywhere.
The romance of life!
These words flashed through his mind, and his smile deepened, unconsciously captivating the saleswoman, who was practically drooling.
These days, there are bald, greasy, and uncultured bosses everywhere. Where can you find a director who is so rich, handsome, and gentlemanly?
Seeing this is a real bonus!
"Tch, attracting attention!" Su Youling pinched Li Tingxi and glared at him. "Have you bought enough? It's time to go."
Li Tingxi paused for a moment, then his smile vanished instantly when he saw the saleswoman's infatuated look. "Pack everything up and mail it."
His familiar cold indifference returned to his face, instantly transforming him into a ruthless and domineering figure who kept everyone at arm's length, startling the saleswoman so much that she thought she had traveled through time.
"Okay, okay. Sir, Madam, please wait a moment."
It turns out that the icy CEO's tenderness truly only blossoms for that one person.
Oh, he loves me so much.
I'm so envious, their love is like that of immortals.
That's incredible!
Rich people know how to love so well; she believes in love again!
"Madam, are you satisfied now?" Li Tingxi put his arm around Su Youling's waist and gently pecked her forehead. "Seeing you so jealous, I absolutely adore it."
Su Youling rolled her eyes. "Dreaming in broad daylight? I'm annoyed by your dawdling; you're making me late for my flight. Besides, who else..."
"Not even two infatuated suitors left?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxi's handsome face immediately darkened, and he could no longer laugh. "Su Su, is that person still in Atlanta?"
That person?
who?
Su Youling was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
In Li Tingxi's opinion, he was overthinking it again.
Su Su's expression clearly showed that she hadn't completely let go of that person, which was why she didn't answer him immediately.
Feeling guilty?
Are they reminiscing about their past love?
Li Tingxi felt like he was being pricked by needles, and he wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to bring up that bastard all the time?
The murderous intent within me could no longer be suppressed!
"Su Su, you are not allowed to see him again!" In front of everyone, Li Tingxi suddenly grabbed Su Youling like a madman, pressed her against the glass window and kissed her fiercely. "I don't care about the past, but now! In the future! I will not allow any man to get close to you, not even the child's biological father."
Su Youling almost couldn't breathe from the kiss. Her oxygen-deprived little brain took a while to realize what kind of jealousy he was feeling. She was both annoyed and amused. "Even if the child's biological father doesn't have custody, he still has basic visitation rights. How can he not have any contact at all?"
She did it on purpose.
I want to see how Li Tingxi will react.
But I didn't expect this person to react so wildly, "I won't allow it!"
Li Tingxi pushed her directly into the dressing room and kissed her fiercely. His large hands brazenly reached into her clothes, like a ferocious beast hunting its prey. He immediately lost his mind and couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
"If you dare see him, I'll kill him." Li Tingxi's eyes were bloodshot as he left a row of gruesome hickeys on her neck. "Su Su, please don't see him, okay?"
He has tried his best
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Try to stop thinking about how she was once with other men!
But he just couldn't stand the way Su Su looked at him and spoke to him when she mentioned that person, as if she still couldn't forget him.
"Ouch! That hurts... Stop biting me..." Su Youling was startled and couldn't push away the crazed Li Tingxi. Seeing that she was about to lose her clothes, she heard footsteps outside, and even a parent came and knocked on the door, "Is anyone trying on clothes in this room?"
"Get out!" Li Tingxi lifted his head from Su Youling's body, his scarlet eyes already glazed over, filled with irrational lust.
The person outside seemed to freeze for a moment, a mixture of fear and resentment in their voice: "What kind of manners are these? In broad daylight! This is a children's fitting room..."
Judging from the tone of his voice, he probably understood what kind of good thing was going on inside.
"Li Tingxi, wake up!" Su Youling couldn't take it anymore and stomped on his foot, then pinched Li Tingxi's waist hard.
But he still wouldn't let go. "You have to promise me first, or I won't let you go to Atlantis."
He was worried from the start, fearing that Su Su might not return. He originally wanted to shamelessly or secretly go to Atlanta with her.
However, after today's wonderful time together, he was really worried that doing this would anger Su Su and scare her away, just like five years ago.
Such anxieties and uncertainties are something that those who haven't experienced them simply cannot understand.
Hearing the man's heavy, suppressed breathing, Su Youling abandoned her joking thoughts and recalled what the doctor had said. For the first time, she felt so directly the man's emotional instability and psychological trauma.
His mental state was like a rubber band stretched to its limit, and she was the invisible hand controlling the force. If he wasn't careful, the rubber band would definitely snap instantly.
The force of the rebound can injure both the injuring person and the rebounding force.
Neither she nor Li Tingxi could accept the consequences of their breakdown.
