Chapter 479 Wait for me to grow up

A shadow fell over Li Tingxi's eyes. He suddenly grabbed Su Youling's wrist and pulled hard.

Su Youling's chin bumped into his chest, causing a dull pain, and she was forced to press herself close to him.

With a slight tilt of their heads, their postures resembled that of someone about to kiss.

However, their expressions were indifferent to each other, like two icebergs colliding, creating a kind of beauty of separation.

Li Tingxi leaned down, almost gritting his teeth: "Su Youling, you kept me in the dark for five whole years, preventing me from fulfilling my duties as a father, and making my children afraid to even call me 'Dad.' This is what you owe me!"

His warm breath sprayed onto Su Youling's face, but instead made her feel cold all over.

"Li Tingxi, have you ever thought that you deserve all of this?" Su Youling tried to break free from Li Tingxi's grasp, but after struggling in vain, she gave up and could only glare at him angrily. "Back then, it was your mother who framed me and smeared me. What did you do? You not only believed that I was carrying a bastard child, but you also forced me to have an abortion. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died with the child in my womb long ago!"

When she mentioned the word "death," a vein throbbed on Li Tingxi's forehead, and he gripped Su Youling's wrist even tighter. "So I spent five years repenting and torturing myself, only to be deceived by you again? Su Youling, that's not how it works. You've achieved your goal of punishing me, so you can only accept my revenge!"

Su Youling's wrists were red from his pinching, burning with a fiery pain, but it was nothing compared to the dull ache in her heart, as if she had been punched.

She looked at the indifferent man in front of her, her voice turning cold: "Li Tingxi, do you really want to push things to the point of mutual destruction?"

"A lose-lose situation?" Li Tingxi scoffed, finally letting go of her hand, his expression extremely sarcastic. "Su Youling, you underestimate my abilities far too much. Do you think you can fight me just because you control a strange kingdom? I only used a little trick, and you're already starting to have a headache."

Su Youling closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "What will it take for you to stop?"

Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes, speaking in a condescending tone, "I only want my son and daughter to come to my side. Of course, whether you cooperate or not, this outcome cannot be changed. So Su Youling, your days ahead will only be more difficult than they are now."

After saying that, he ignored Su Youling's suddenly pale face and left the lounge.

Su Youling's straight back suddenly slumped, and she squatted down, supporting herself on the sofa. The tears she had been holding back for so long finally rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Li Tingxi arrived outside Yangyang's ward; the door was ajar.

Having learned from his previous experience, he didn't go in directly, but knocked on the door instead.

Meeting Yangyang's gaze, he smiled gently, with a hint of caution, "May I come in?"

Yangyang, with a serious expression, glanced behind him.

Seeing that none of the bodyguards Su Youling had arranged were there, he guessed that Su Youling had given permission, and his feelings were mixed for a moment.

Just then, Yueyue was happily eating a cupcake when she saw Li Tingxi. She ran over excitedly, grabbed his clothes, and smiled at Yangyang, saying, "Brother, the cake was bought for us by the handsome uncle! It's super delicious, isn't it?"

Li Tingxi bent down and gently wiped the cream off Yueyue's lips. "Didn't Mom say that even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much?"

"Yueyue listened to her mother and didn't eat too much," Yueyue raised her chin and quickly asked Yangyang to vouch for her, "If you don't believe me, Uncle Shuai, you can ask my brother."

Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Yangyang.

Yangyang doesn't really like sweets, but Yueyue forced him to try a bite. Now, meeting Li Tingxi's gaze, he could only politely thank him: "Thank you, Uncle Li, but I don't like these things, and Yueyue and Xingxing can't eat this much either."

“It’s alright,” Li Tingxi said, not disappointed. He led Yueyue to the bedside and instinctively wanted to please him. “Then tell your uncle what you like, and your uncle will buy it for you next time.”

He didn't forget Xingxing either, "Xingxing, you've been practicing martial arts since you were little. How about I give you a pair of boxing gloves for your birthday?"

Xingxing glanced at Yangyang and changed the subject, "Uncle Li, where's my mom?"

Li Tingxi remained expressionless: "She has some work-related matters to attend to."

Upon hearing this, Yangyang glanced at him again, her gaze turning colder as she lowered her eyelids, lost in thought.

Li Tingxi noticed his sudden drop in mood. Because his son hadn't grown up by his side since he was little, he didn't understand Yangyang, so he felt a sense of frustration that he couldn't express himself.

Su Youling returned after composing herself.

Because she had vented her emotions so much, her eyes were a little swollen from crying. She even went to the bathroom to apply cold water to her face for a while before coming out.

Upon seeing her, Yueyue immediately pulled her little hand away from Li Tingxi's and ran over to Su Youling, throwing herself into her arms and whining, "Mommy, hug me!"

"You little clingy thing," Su Youling obediently picked her up, pressed her face against her nose and rubbed it against her little nose, "You're always asking Mommy to hold you, but when you get a little older, Mommy won't be able to hold you anymore."

Yueyue wrapped her arms around her neck and said in a clear voice, "Don't be afraid, when I grow up I'll hug Mommy!"

Su Youling was so charmed that she smiled broadly, and her heart melted completely.

Yangyang and Xingxing couldn't help but laugh and tease Yueyue.

Seeing the harmonious interaction between the mother and her three children, Li Tingxi's eyes darkened, and he felt a pang of unease.

Su Youling put Yueyue down and went to the bedside to check Yangyang's temperature.

Looking closer at Su Youling, Yangyang quickly frowned. "Mom, why are your eyes so red?"

Su Youling's expression was slightly unnatural for a moment, and she casually explained, "I was standing outside in the wind for a while, and I guess the wind was too strong, so I probably got some dust in my eyes."

From Li Tingxi's perspective, he could only see half of her porcelain-white face, but he couldn't help but recall Su Youling's restrained expression and her slightly reddened eyes in the lounge.

So she cried after he left?

Li Tingxi was a little irritated for a moment, but the next second he told himself that Su Youhuo was the one to blame, and he returned to his expressionless state.

Yangyang didn't believe the explanation, so she subconsciously glanced at Li Tingxi. Seeing his indifferent expression, she became even more convinced that something unpleasant had happened between him and Su Youling.

He pursed his lips, looking somewhat distressed.

Yueyue took Su Youling's words to heart and quickly told Su Youling to lower her head, "Mom, let Yueyue help you rub it, it will make you feel better."

Su Youling cooperated and let her blow on it a few times. Judging from Yangyang's expression, she knew he must have guessed something.
