Chapter 537 Lethal Dosage

Su Youling found her expression quite amusing, so she teased her, "Can bodyguard uncles protect us too?"

Yueyue's eyes widened immediately, and she blurted out, "How can they be the same?"

"What's the difference? Just because he's a little more handsome? Hmm?" Su Youling raised an eyebrow.

"Hmph," Yueyue hummed softly in agreement, "And also, I don't want Mom to work too hard. I can ask Uncle Li to carry me and take lots of nice pictures so I can show them off to my friends when I go back to kindergarten!"

Su Youling continued to tease him: "The bodyguard uncle can also hold you for a photo."

Under her relentless glare, Yueyue finally came up with an outrageous reason: "I have my germaphobia, I don't want the bodyguard uncle to hug me!"

After saying that, her face turned as red as a ripe cherry tomato.

Su Youling was inwardly laughing hysterically, but she had to suppress it on the surface, feigning surprise and drawing out her words: "Oh? Mom only found out now that my delicate little princess Yueyue actually has a cleanliness obsession~"

Xingxing and Yangyang couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

Yueyue, embarrassed and angry, stomped her feet and shouted, "Mommy's mean! Xingxing and Yangyang, you're not allowed to laugh anymore!"

Her response was met with even more unrestrained laughter from the three of them.

...

At 6:30 the next morning, Li Tingxi, who had been working all night without sleep and had only managed to get some sleep in the office, rushed back to the villa.

The maid, who heard the door open, went to greet him, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise: "Mr. Li, the young master and young lady are still not up at this hour. Would you like me to prepare breakfast separately for you?"

"No need, just prepare me a cup of coffee first. I'll wait for them to get up so we can have breakfast together," Li Tingxi said casually.

After a while, he took the coffee prepared by the maid, took a sip, and asked casually, "What are the plans for today?"

The maid assumed he was referring to the three children and shook her head.

Li Tingxi nodded, "I happen to have time today, so I can stay home with them."

After saying that, he casually asked, "Where's Rebecca?"

The maid suddenly realized and reported to him in detail: "Madam has already gotten up. You weren't home yesterday, and Madam spent the whole day at home with the young masters and misses. But today, after breakfast, Madam will be going out."

However, since Su Youling had already given her instructions, she didn't mention that Feng Anhuai had come to her door.

Li Tingxi unconsciously frowned, feeling somewhat stifled.

Even though he and Su Youling live under the same roof, it has become difficult for them to even see each other lately. If he hadn't rushed back this morning, he probably wouldn't have seen her all day.

Seeing that he looked unwell, the maid asked a question and then left.

Li Tingxi sat for a while, not expecting that Yangyang would be the first to come downstairs.

He glanced discreetly towards Su Youling's bedroom, feeling a surge of irritation: The maids said she was already up, why wasn't she coming downstairs? Was she deliberately avoiding him because she heard him was there?

Yangyang, having caught his gaze, had an idea. As she sat down opposite him, she suddenly asked, "Uncle Li, do you know an uncle surnamed Feng?"

Li Tingxi instantly became alert: "What?"

“Yesterday, an uncle surnamed Feng came to see Mom. Mom even went out to meet him, and they talked about work for quite a while,” Yangyang said, observing his reaction.

"But I've never met this Uncle Feng before, so I wanted to ask if you know him, and whether he and Mom are close?"

Feng Anhuai actually came to our door? Su Youling said they were just friends. If she wasn't guilty, why wouldn't she let him in?

No, if she really lets Feng Anhuai set foot on her territory, what's the difference between that and cheating on him?

Yangyang's every word hit Li Tingxi's sore spots precisely, making him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and couldn't help but think of the time when Qin He suggested investigating this Feng Anhuai, which he had flatly refused.

He originally wanted Su Youling to explain to him personally, but in reality, his relationship with Su Youling became increasingly strained, while this Feng Anhuai actually went too far and came knocking on his door.

Li Tingxi felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, but he had to restrain himself for fear of frightening Yangyang in front of him.

He downed the now-cold coffee in one gulp, barely managing to suppress his anger.

He looked up and met Yangyang's slightly probing gaze. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what Yangyang meant by telling him this.

"Yangyang, do you not like that Uncle Feng?" he asked cautiously after careful consideration.

Yangyang pursed her lips, neither saying yes nor no.

Xingxing and Yueyue, who happened to be coming downstairs, overheard Li Tingxi's words.

Yueyue answered for Yangyang without hesitation: "Of course! We absolutely hate the bad guys who try to take Mom away!"

Xingxing and Yangyang didn't speak, but their expressions conveyed a silent agreement.

When Li Tingxi realized that the three children were surprisingly united in their resistance to Feng Anhuai, his previously depressed mood instantly brightened, and his furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed.

Even if Feng Anhuai really liked Su Youling and wanted to pursue her, so what? The children didn't like him, so he had absolutely no chance.

After figuring this out, Li Tingxi felt that the headache caused by poor sleep had been relieved a lot.

After Su Youling came downstairs, she only glanced at Li Tingxi indifferently.

Li Tingxi felt uncomfortable again.

It was rare for the whole family to sit together at the table for breakfast, but there was only occasional interaction between the children, and the atmosphere was strangely awkward.

Until Li Tingxi suddenly pointed to the blueberry jam next to Su Youling, "You asked Xingxing, Yueyue, and Yangyang, why didn't you ask me if I wanted some?"

Su Youling frowned at him upon hearing this, somewhat speechless: "Didn't you never like to eat this?"

“People’s tastes change. I really want to eat this right now,” Li Tingxi said matter-of-factly, pushing his plate over and gesturing for Su Youling to spread blueberry jam on his toast. “Thank you for your hard work.”

Su Youling knew perfectly well that he was deliberately picking a fight, but she tolerated it in front of the children.

However, harboring a retaliatory mentality, she meticulously spread a thick layer of blueberry jam on every crevice of Li Tingxi's toast slice before handing it back to him, saying with a forced smile, "Since you like it, then eat to your heart's content."

Even someone as sweet-toothed as Yueyue felt a surge of sweetness in her throat upon seeing the "blueberry bomb toast" on Li Ting's plate.

Li Tingxi, however, ate it all without changing his expression.

Su Youling watched as he ingested a lethal dose of blueberry jam, her eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had gone too far.
