Chapter 538 He pursued me before.

However, Li Tingxi's actions quickly dispelled her idea.

When Yueyue's milk was empty, she obediently held the milk cup with both hands and looked at Su Youling expectantly, "Mom, can you please refill my cup?"

Su Youling poured her half a cup, saying, "Don't eat too much for breakfast."

Yueyue was completely satisfied, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes with happiness.

Li Tingxi suddenly got up, went to the kitchen, took out a clean glass, and handed it to Su Youling, saying, "Mom, could you please pour me a glass too? The toast I just ate was so sweet it made my throat feel a little sore."

The three children all looked over at once, then pretended to be engrossed in eating their breakfast, but in reality, they kept glancing at the two of them out of the corner of their eyes.

"..." Su Youling looked up and saw the serious expression on Li Tingxi's face, and her temples throbbed.

What's wrong with him this morning?

Glancing at the untouched coffee beside Li Tingxi, she said coolly, "If I remember correctly, you had already finished a cup of coffee when I came downstairs. This was a refill. The children were watching. If you don't finish it, are you trying to teach them to develop a wasteful habit?"

Despite being accused of this, Li Tingxi remained unfazed. "I just took a sip, and it's sour. I guess the coffee beans went bad."

Without giving Su Youling a chance to question him further, he picked up the coffee and walked to the sink at the open island counter, poured the coffee out, then sat back down with an air of nonchalance. He tapped the glass twice with his fingertips, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Mom, can you pour me some now?"

In front of the children, Su Youling couldn't get angry, so she simply pushed the glass milk jug towards him, saying, "Pour it yourself."

Li Tingxi looked completely unfazed, "But what can I do if I really want to drink the milk that my mother poured for me?"

Li Tingxi could even make up nonsense like coffee beans going bad, so Su Youling wasn't too surprised that he would say something so shameful.

However, feeling the subtle glances from the children beside her, she couldn't help but feel a flush rise to her face.

Li Tingxi noticed the faint blush on the tips of her ears and gave a meaningful smile.

Su Youling was afraid that he would say something shocking in front of the children again, so she quickly filled his milk glass. "Mr. Li, are you satisfied now?"

Li Tingxi's brows relaxed as he slowly watched her drink the entire glass of milk, his contented expression making Su Youling grit her teeth inwardly.

Why is this guy suddenly so annoying?

Yangyang noticed that Li Tingxi's behavior in front of Su Youling was noticeably different from usual. After careful analysis, she quickly identified the boy as someone who liked to bully girls in kindergarten in order to get attention. She realized that she had figured it out.

So, no matter how old a guy is, he can still be this childish in front of the person he likes?

Yangyang blinked thoughtfully.

After breakfast, compared to the refreshed Li Tingxi, Su Youling felt as if she had survived a major ordeal.

But the culprit had no intention of letting her go. He walked with her to the entrance and said casually, "Where are you going? I'll drive you."

Su Youling refused decisively this time: "I'm here to discuss work. You also have your own things to do, there's no need to bother me."

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

I'm annoyed by you.

Li Tingxi's expression remained unchanged. "I happen to be free today, so I don't mind the trouble."

Su Youling couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Xingxing, who had come to see her off, winked at Yueyue. Yueyue immediately understood and ran over to hug Su Youling's leg, pleading softly, "Mommy, can Uncle Li take you? If you run into bad people like last time, Uncle Li will protect you."

Seeing the little girl take the initiative to help, Li Tingxi was pleased and happy, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yueyue is right."

Su Youling wanted to say that having bodyguards would be enough, but Yangyang and Xingxing also joined in the persuasion.

Knowing that the previous kidnapping incident had left an indelible shadow on the children, Su Youling had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let Li Tingxi drive her.

After waving goodbye to their three children, the two fell silent as they got into the car.

Su Youling turned her face away, thinking that after driving for a while, she could get some sleep to avoid the awkward silence between her and Li Tingxi.

Just as she closed her eyes, Li Tingxi's slightly sour voice came from the side: "You don't need to dress up specially to meet clients, do you? There are plenty of men with ulterior motives in the business world. Their common problem is that they are delusional. Once you get entangled with them, it will only bring endless trouble."

Su Youling sensed a hidden meaning in his words, instantly opened her eyes, and turned her head to look at him.

“Li Tingxi,” she sighed softly, sat up straight, and looked intently into Li Tingxi’s eyes through the endoscope, “We still have some time, let’s talk.”

Li Tingxi tensed his facial muscles and remained silent.

Su Youling then continued, "As I said, Feng Anhuai and I worked together for a period of time in the Strange Kingdom."

She paused, then glanced at Li Tingxi. "I admit, he did pursue me before."

When Li Tingxi heard this, his eyelids twitched violently. He finally turned to look at her. He was too lazy to pretend anymore, and his eyes revealed a hint of mockery. "So you knew he liked you, yet you still allowed him to get close to you and flatter you?"

Su Youling frowned and retorted, "We've always just been normal friends. Even when we met at the club last time, I clearly rejected him. When you came in, he was just sharing some work secrets with me out of friendship. It wasn't anything like the mess you're imagining."

She hesitated for a moment before deciding to keep the fact that Ye Qing was her rival from Li Tingxi's eyes.

Li Tingxi's attention, however, clearly fell on something she hadn't expected.

He suddenly grabbed Su Youling's wrist, his strong and imposing body slowly pushing her into the already cramped seating area. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. "So, that day at the club, he confessed his love to you?"

Su Youling was almost laughing in exasperation. She couldn't help but punch his arm with her other hand and said irritably, "Didn't you hear what I said? Didn't I already reject him? How else do you expect me to explain to you? Do you want me to drag him to your side and confront you, making him tell you every detail of how I rejected him?"

“I—” Li Tingxi paused for a moment, speechless.

"You're a complete idiot, a lunatic!" Su Youling's cheeks flushed red with anger. She poked his chest hard, her eyes blazing with fury. Her hair was also messy from being squeezed. In Li Tingxi's eyes, she was much more lively and adorable than her coldness towards him during this period.
