Chapter 484 They Made Up

Su Youling was completely absorbed in her emotions and did not notice his arrival at all. It wasn't until she had cried enough and raised her head that her wet, red eyes met Li Tingxi's unfathomable gaze.

She couldn't decipher the emotions hidden in Li Tingxi's eyes, and with her head spinning, she didn't want to try.

At this moment, all she felt was vulnerability.

She wiped away her tears, trying to appear nonchalant, but her hoarse voice, like grit rubbing against paper, betrayed her vulnerability: "What are you doing here? Trying to make a fool of myself?"

Li Tingxi turned his head away from her and leaned back in his chair. This was the first time he had shown such a calm demeanor in front of her since arriving in City C. "I'm very curious about what it was like when you were pregnant with Yangyang and the others. Tell me about those important days that I shouldn't have missed."

His voice was deep and calm, not gentle at all, yet for some reason Su Youling had the illusion that he was comforting her.

She lowered her eyelids and curled the corners of her lips. "Actually, it wouldn't hurt to tell you."

When she looked up again, she seemed a little lost in thought. "Because I was pregnant with triplets, and I had experienced several accidents, my health was too poor, so several times, I almost lost the babies."

At this point, she choked up, and her voice lowered uncontrollably: "My children and I have almost walked back from the brink of death several times."

Li Tingxi's hand, which had been casually resting on his knee, tightened unconsciously, and a dark undercurrent surged in his seemingly calm eyes, but he quickly suppressed it without making a sound. "And then?"

The three words were almost spoken in a breathy voice.

Su Youling heard this and felt a lump in her throat. The tears she had just stopped rolled down her cheeks again. "I can't even remember how many injections I had to keep the pregnancy going. I felt like a walking corpse back then. Sometimes I really thought about giving up, but in the end I persevered for the sake of the child."

She tilted her head to look at Li Tingxi, her happiness mixed with a bit of bitterness. "I am now extremely grateful for my determination back then. The only thing I feel guilty and regretful about is Yangyang. Perhaps it is God's way of punishing me, leaving my happiness with a flaw."

Li Tingxi's eyelids twitched, and he turned his head to look at her. What came into view was her pitiful appearance, with her eyes red and swollen from crying and the tip of her nose also red.

The invisible hand on my heart seemed to clench even tighter.

Unable to resist the urge to soften, I blurted out an apology: "I'm sorry to you and the children. You don't have to take all the blame for Yangyang's illness. As his father, I also have an inescapable responsibility."

Su Youling was stunned for a moment, somewhat doubting that these words actually came from his mouth.

Is Li Tingxi giving in to her?

Then a glimmer of hope arose in my heart: could the matter of the child be discussed?

She admitted that her sadness and guilt were instinctive, but she also harbored some selfish desire to soften Li Tingxi's heart, so she deliberately showed weakness in front of him.

It now seems to be useful.

Su Youling pursed her lips, hesitantly asking tentatively, "Li Tingxi, is your apology sincere?"

Li Tingxi saw through her thoughts, and his expression returned to its cold indifference. "I apologize because I did make a mistake back then, but that doesn't mean I'll give up on bringing those children back to me."

He stood up, looking down at Su Youling, his eyes devoid of any trace of the pity he had shown moments before. "Su Youling, I'll say it again: if you take the initiative to humble yourself, you might get away with eating less."

No matter how much suffering there is, there's no need to worry about the strange lands anymore.

If Su Youling hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she probably would have thought that his soft-heartedness just now was her imagination.

She understood Li Tingxi and noticed that his attitude had softened.

Therefore, she is not confronting Li Tingxi head-on like she did the previous times.

She avoided the topic: "You go in first, I want to sit alone for a while longer."

Li Tingxi gave her a deep look, and before leaving, he tossed her a pack of tissues. "Su Youling, aren't you a self-proclaimed strong single mother? Then don't cry in front of me. I won't be soft-hearted when it comes to the children."

Su Youling stared at the tissue in her hand for a while, then turned back to look in the direction he left, and fell into deep thought.

When she returned to the ward, Yangyang had already woken up.

Su Hong prepared porridge for Yangyang, and Li Tingxi volunteered to feed Yangyang himself.

Su Hong immediately frowned, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Li Tingxi doesn't seem like someone who knows how to take care of people; he had already experienced this firsthand five years ago.

However, under Li Tingxi's insistence, she did not refuse again.

However, to her surprise, Li Tingxi did much better than she had imagined.

When Su Youling came in, she saw Li Tingxi sitting by Yangyang's hospital bed, holding a thermos in his hand, carefully blowing on each spoonful of porridge to bring it to the right temperature before feeding it to Yangyang's mouth, and gently and patiently asking him if he could still eat it.

She was even a little dazed for a moment.

For a moment, the image of Li Tingxi before her overlapped with the image of a qualified father she had imagined for her children.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could do a very good job.

You could tell from Su Hong's somewhat satisfied expression.

What touched her even more was Yangyang's reaction.

Yangyang is a child who values ​​boundaries, which can be seen from his previous resistance to Li Tingxi.

It's only been less than a day, and Yangyang is already accepting Li Tingxi's feeding, which shows how capable Li Tingxi is.

Su Youling noticed the adoration and cautious excitement in Yangyang's eyes as he glanced at Li Tingxi from time to time.

Yangyang has had a poor appetite lately, so it's rare that he ate so much today.

Therefore, Su Youling was not born to disturb them.

After Yangyang said he was full, Li Tingxi put down the thermos, and only then did the father and son notice Su Youling.

Yangyang's eyes even looked somewhat awkward and evasive when he first saw Su Youling.

Su Youling was shocked to realize her failure as a mother.

It's only natural for children to crave their father's love. No matter what happens between her and Li Tingxi, she shouldn't make things difficult for the children, and Yangyang is clearly being affected.

She didn't do a good enough job.

Thinking of this, Su Youling walked over, smiled and gently patted Yangyang's head, and didn't hold back her praise: "Yangyang was great today, eating such a big bowl of porridge. It seems that Mom should thank Uncle Li properly."

Yangyang paused for a moment, looking at her and then at Li Tingxi, until she was sure that she could not find any discord between the two of them.

So, has Mom forgiven him? Have they made up?
