Chapter 509 No Haste

"I agree."

When Su Youling heard Li Tingxi say those three words, her first reaction was to doubt her own ears.

However, judging from Li Tingxi's serious expression, she realized that he had really chosen to compromise, which made her even more incredulous.

"You agree to let Yangyang go abroad for treatment?" She stared into Li Tingxi's eyes to confirm again.

A faint, almost imperceptible bitter smile appeared on Li Tingxi's lips. He stepped forward and stopped just an inch away from her, sighing, "Su Su, I was too extreme before. Now I've thought it through. I'll accompany Yangyang abroad for treatment with you. Xingxing and Yueyue can't live without you, so I want to take them with me. What do you think?"

When Su Youling first heard Li Tingxi speak to her in such a consultative tone, she was momentarily dazed.

Li Tingxi's recent irritability and temper have left a shadow on her to some extent, and she can only attribute his ability to change in such a short time to Xia Zhiying's efforts.

The two had only met briefly, yet the results were so significant. It seems we need to find more ways to create opportunities for Xia Zhiying to interact with Li Tingxi.

While feeling relieved, Su Youling readily agreed to Li Tingxi's suggestion without hesitation.

She hesitated for a moment before telling Li Tingxi the truth: "Actually, I originally planned to send Yangyang abroad first, and then find an opportunity... to take the two children and my mother abroad."

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Li Tingxi's reaction.

A flicker of panic crossed Li Tingxi's eyes, his guilt growing stronger, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

If he really forces Su Youling and the three children to stay by his side, will he really lose them forever?

He had never been so clear-headed as he was now, following his heart, carefully pulling Su Youling into his arms, and sincerely apologizing to her: "I'm sorry, Su Su."

Su Youling felt a lump in her throat, but she couldn't completely let down her guard.

She didn't know how long Li Tingxi's "normal" behavior would last, and she couldn't get over her own conscience right now.

Rebecca, who was standing to the side, noticed the tension in Su Youling's body and knew that the knot between her and Li Tingxi could not be untied so easily. She sighed inwardly.

When Qin He and the others arrived later, they were relieved to learn that Li Tingxi had chosen to back down and send Yangyang abroad for treatment.

...

Li Tingxi acted even faster than expected. After handling the company's urgent matters, he and Su Youling took their three children and Su Hong abroad the next day at noon. Rebecca, Wen Xi, and others also accompanied them; it was almost the entire team.

Qin Yaoruo originally wanted to join in the fun, but she was pestered by Yan Qinghe, and she and Yan Qinghe were too popular recently and were always followed by paparazzi, so she had to give up in the end.

Because the group attracted too much attention, Li Tingxi submitted an application to the air traffic control department a day in advance. When the group arrived in the country on a private plane, it was already past midnight, and the three children were already asleep from exhaustion.

Qin He had made all the arrangements in advance, and the group went directly to the detached villa that Li Tingxi had purchased.

The three children were carefully carried back to their room to rest by Su Hong and Rebecca.

The remaining people also made room for Li Tingxi and Su Youling.

A boat along the way

The long journey left Su Youling with aches and pains all over her body. She leaned against the sofa as if she had no bones. The quality of her rest and meals on the plane was not very good, but the main reason was that she was worried about Yangyang's condition. So even though she was very tired, she was not sleepy at all.

Li Tingxi looked much better than her, with only a faint trace of fatigue showing between his brows.

He sat down next to Su Youling and naturally lifted her legs and placed them on his knees.

Su Youling froze, instinctively sitting up and trying to pull her foot out.

Li Tingxi gave her a deep look, then forcefully pressed down on her leg and rolled up her trouser leg. He saw the bruise on the back of her calf and frowned deeply.

Su Youling was stunned for a moment. She had accidentally bumped into it when she came out of the toilet on the plane, and she didn't know how he found out.

She struggled a little more, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, trying to pull her trouser legs down.

Li Tingxi glared at her. "Su Youling, if you're injured, you'd better behave yourself."

Su Youling said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just a minor injury, I'll be fine by tomorrow morning."

Ignoring her words, Li Tingxi bent down and pulled out a first-aid kit from under the coffee table, then focused intently on applying the medicine to her.

Because of the bruising, he glanced at Su Youling and reminded her, "You have to rub it hard to remove the bruising. If it hurts, just say so."

Su Youling pursed her lips and nodded, looking at Li Tingxi's focused profile, feeling a mix of emotions.

Li Tingxi slowly increased the pressure on her hand. He didn't hear her cry out in pain, but he could feel her body suddenly tense up. He sighed slightly, paused in his movements, and finally lightened his pressure.

As she got used to the pain, the burning heat where their skin touched felt like it was reaching her heart. Su Youling stared at him, gradually lost in thought, the sound of his strong heartbeat echoing in her ears.

In the silent stillness, something seemed to be slowly stirring.

"Li Tingxi." She called out his name as if possessed.

Li Tingxi looked up at her, giving her a questioning look.

Su Youling snapped back to reality, awkwardly pulling her leg back quickly, and cleared her throat: "I meant to say it's okay now, let's get down to business."

Li Tingxi's hands suddenly felt empty, still warm from being held, and he felt a sense of loss.

He put the medicine back, suppressed his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "I have already sent people to investigate Professor Richard's current whereabouts, but I'm afraid there won't be any results in the short term."

His anxiety was no less than Su Youling's, and he actually received the news as soon as Yangyang's treatment plan was released. Although he said he disagreed with Su Youling taking Yangyang abroad for treatment, he immediately sent people to investigate Professor Richard's information.

Professor Richard was too low-key and had not shown his face since announcing that he would no longer take on patients. Even if he used all his connections, it would not be easy to find out where Professor Richard was in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Su Youling looked at Li Tingxi, noticing his emotions, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Yangyang's illness is not an emergency, nor is it urgent."

Li Tingxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the darkness in his eyes deepened as he looked at her.

Afraid of getting involved, Su Youling awkwardly turned her face away, lowered her eyelids, and whispered, "Li Tingxi, our starting point is the child, so... let's put aside all the previous conflicts for now."
