Chapter 517 You're Not Qualified to Steal My Man

Su Youling looked at Ye Qing's smile and felt a strange sense of unease.

Ye Qing had been deliberately ignoring her from the beginning, but she could still sense the underlying concern Ye Qing had for her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Tingxi, who was smiling as he added food to the children's bowls, feeling somewhat displeased.

Shen Xiyue was already troublesome enough, and now Ye Qing, who is clearly not a good person, has appeared. Just how many women has he provoked?

Li Tingxi seemed to sense something and looked up, catching the hidden resentment in her eyes. He paused for a moment, then realized what was going on, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

Is she jealous of Ye Qing?

Seeing that he still had the nerve to smile at her, Su Youling glared at him speechlessly and asked Xingxing to help her get the plate of food in front of Li Tingxi.

This dish was specially made by Su Youling according to Li Tingxi's taste. He hadn't stopped eating it since it was served. Now that Xingxing had taken it away, he could only frown and look at Su Youling.

Ignoring his questioning gaze, Su Youling poured all the remaining food from the plate into her own bowl and finished it off in a few bites.

"..." Faced with the curious gazes of the three children, Li Tingxi felt a little embarrassed and silently got up to serve Su Youling soup.

Ye Qing, who had been observing the subtle interaction between the two without making a sound, lost her smile. Her eyes darted around and suddenly focused on Yangyang, who looked sickly. "Your name is Yangyang, right?"

Yangyang blinked twice and gave a faint "hmm".

He and Xingxingyue had just come downstairs and learned that this was Professor Richard's daughter. They were unaware of everything that had happened before, so they regarded Ye Qing as a pretty aunt they had just met.

Unexpectedly, the pretty aunt suddenly asked him, "Where's your father? Your treatment is so important, even if he's busy with work, he should make time for you, right?"

Li Tingxi and Su Youling both looked at Ye Qing at the same time, their expressions instantly turning cold.

Yangyang, being intelligent, naturally sensed the ill intent beneath Ye Qing's seemingly gentle exterior and immediately felt displeasure.

He put down his spoon and looked at Ye Qing with a serious expression. "Aunt Ye, my younger brother and sister and I have never met our father since we were born. In our hearts, our mother is the most important person. Even without our father... we can accept it."

Li Tingxi was deeply hurt by Yangyang's words, and a sudden, dull pain shot through his heart.

He let out a heavy sigh and couldn't help but warn Ye Qing in a cold voice, "Ye Qing, what good does it do you to reopen old wounds in front of the children?"

This is not only a scar on the children, but also a wound between him and Su Youling that has yet to heal.

Ye Qing was startled by his cold gaze and realized that she had been too impatient and lost her composure. So she quickly calmed down and apologized to the children and Su Youling: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

Professor Richard also stepped in to ease the tension: "I'm really sorry, my daughter is just a straightforward person. She doesn't speak tactfully, but she doesn't mean any harm."

Su Youling almost laughed when she heard this.

What kind of simple character could a woman who could dominate the business world and manage the vast Ye Group be? Would she be without malice? Probably not. Ye Qing had subtly revealed this from the very beginning.

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

Aside from his hostility towards her, it was Professor Richard's excessive love for his daughter that led him to have an overly biased view of her.

However, she wasn't that petty. Yangyang would need to stay with Professor Richard for at least two months to get treatment, and she didn't want to fall out with Ye Qing for the sake of her child. Besides, Ye Qing hadn't done anything excessive.

Of course, this is all contingent on Ye Qing behaving himself from now on and not provoking her.

Su Youling concealed the fleeting coldness in her eyes, put down her chopsticks, gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, and looked at Ye Qing with composure: "Miss Ye, it was just an unintentional mistake, I can understand."

Ye Qing was surprised that she could be so patient. Her heart sank, but she pretended to be relieved and said, "It's good that you didn't take it to heart."

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Tingxi again: "Unlike some people, who act as if they want to eat me alive just because I accidentally said the wrong thing."

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxi's expression changed instantly, and Su Youling felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Just then, Wen Xi called to tell her that an important client she was currently negotiating with was on a business trip to the country and happened to be in the city where Su Youling was staying. "Lingling, I can't get there in time, so I'll have to ask you to go there yourself."

Because it was a work-related matter, Su Youling went to the terrace next to the kitchen to answer the phone.

Su Youling knew the importance of this project. After the plagiarism scandal, Strange Kingdom had been affected to some extent. If they could win this project, they would be able to make a great comeback and allow Strange Kingdom to seize market share.

Su Youling and Wen Xi have been working on this project recently, so she readily agreed, "Send me the specific address, and I'll contact the brand first."

This project is highly sought after, and many companies are vying for it with Strange Kingdom. Although the brand has expressed great satisfaction with their proposal, she is still worried about unforeseen changes before everything is finalized.

While looking at the location sent by Wen Xi on WeChat, Su Youling called the brand manager.

After a brief conversation, the brand representative said they could spare half an hour to meet with her in person.

Time was of the essence, and Su Youling was about to leave after hanging up the phone when she saw Ye Qing outside as soon as she stepped out from the terrace.

Her unease intensified.

Ye Qing smiled at her as she held up the soup bowl in her hand: "I heard from Tingxi that you made this soup. It is indeed very delicious. Everyone on the table has finished it, so I couldn't help but go to the kitchen to get some more."

Tingxi? Was he deliberately calling her that so intimately in front of her, with the intention of provoking her?

Su Youling found her petty thoughts extremely boring, and she couldn't find fault with her explanation for appearing on the terrace, so she replied perfunctorily, "Since you like it, then drink more."

After saying that, she walked past Ye Qing and went straight to the dining room.

Ye Qing watched her figure disappear, his eyes gradually turning cold. He went to the kitchen expressionlessly and poured the soup from the bowl into the sink without hesitation.

Thinking of the phone call she had just overheard from Su Youling, a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes. She picked up her phone, sent a text message, and then quickly deleted the record.

Looking at the steaming soup in the sink, she turned on the tap to rinse away the filth, and scoffed, "Strange Kingdom, what right do you have to compete with the Ye family? As for you, Rebecca, you have no right to steal my man!"
