Chapter 57 Jealousy or Possessiveness

"So that's how it is, you scared me to death." Lance patted his chest and stared at Su Youling's lower abdomen, saying softly, "I thought your dead ex-husband had crawled out of his grave again."

Su Youling felt a cold sweat trickle down her forehead as she listened, wishing she could cover Lance's mouth with her own.

If this kid keeps talking, he'll really get her killed.

Moreover, the existence of the child cannot be revealed in front of Li Tingxi!

Su Youling's palms were sweating with nervousness. Just as Lance was about to continue his enthusiastic discussion, she quickly said, "Lance, Wei Ning needs to talk to you about something. Why don't you two go outside and talk?"

"Huh?" Lance was completely bewildered, looking blankly at Wei Ning, who was equally caught off guard. "What do you want with me?"

“It’s… about the teapot.” Wei Ning received Su Youling’s distress signal, glanced guiltily at the powerful Li Tingxi, and eagerly pulled the clueless Qing Lansi out. “Come, come, let me tell you about that Boss Hong.”

Li Tingxi looked at Lance, who kept turning back to look at him with reluctance, and couldn't stand the sight of him.

This restless woman really needs to be kept under close watch, otherwise she might go out and flirt with other men and not take him seriously at all!

"What are you so nervous about?" Li Tingxi slammed down his teacup, looked coldly at Su Youling, and said sarcastically in a low voice, "Afraid I'll deal with your little lover?"

Su Youling glanced nervously at the old man in the head seat, gripped her teacup tightly, and brought it to her lips, trying to cover her voice as she said, "Li Tingxi, whatever you want to do, don't disturb my business."

Her gaze was intense, conveying both nervousness and a pleading warning, which made the atmosphere between the two increasingly tense.

Li Tingxi looked into her clear and bright eyes. Although there were complex emotions hidden beneath her pupils, her overall spirit was much better than when she was in City A. It was as if her soul had been set free, and her free and unrestrained demeanor was radiant.

She left abruptly, and he was restless day and night, searching for her with all his might.

They searched for her whereabouts without delay and found Professor Jin, afraid of missing her.

Meanwhile, Su Youling was carefree and had a chance encounter with her lover in B City, completely forgetting about her husband. She even dared to flirt with him in front of him!

"Come with me—" Li Tingxi suddenly stood up, grabbed Su Youling's hand and tried to pull her out, but Su Youling seemed like a startled little rabbit, hurriedly stopping him and whispering, "Li Tingxi, my mother's health is deteriorating, she won't last much longer. She needs surgery as soon as possible."

She bit her lip and finally gave in, "I finally got to see Professor Jin, please don't ruin my plans, okay?"

Looking at her pleading eyes, Li Tingxi pursed his thin lips tightly. After a long while, he finally released her and coldly snorted, "If it weren't for your meddlesome actions, your mother's surgery would have been completed long ago."

Su Youling lowered her eyes, concealing the bitterness well.

If she asked Li Tingxi to help her find Professor Jin to perform the surgery, it would be simple and convenient, but she would owe Li Tingxi a huge favor, and how would she repay it in the future? What would Shen Xiyue think?

At this moment, Professor Jin, who had been thoughtfully watching the interaction between the two, finally coughed and asked, "Tingxi, are you and Miss Su... alright?"

"It's nothing. There was a small conflict before I left. It was my fault for upsetting President Li." Su Youling quickly explained and poured Professor Jin a cup of tea. "Professor, please go and see my mother. I'm willing to help you with any conditions."

Professor Jin looked at her kindly. "Young lady, your filial piety is commendable. You've helped Lance and me so much; how could I possibly object? Your mother is also in City A, right? That's perfect, I also..."

I need to go to City A to get medical treatment for Tingxi's wife.

Tingxi's...wife!

Shen Xiyue is sick. No wonder Li Tingxi traveled all the way to B City to seek medical treatment.

She had foolishly assumed that Li Tingxi's presence here was for her sake, but now she was so humiliated that she didn't even have the strength to look up at him.

Now that this bastard has reconciled with Shen Xiyue, was his jealous outburst just now meant to be funny?

Su Youling smiled coldly, warning herself not to have any more illusions about this scumbag. The best course of action was to take her child and stay far away from him.

“I’m sorry, Professor Jin. The environment in City A is too poor, and my mother cannot take good care of herself. I have brought her to City B to recuperate. I hope you can go and see her first.” Su Youling felt the burning gaze behind her, and her body tensed up even more.

Professor Jin hesitated and looked at Li Tingxi. "If I keep running back and forth like this, I might not have enough time. I only came to China this time to repair the painted pottery teapot. I have some important things to take care of at home in a few days. How about we discuss whether we can schedule our schedules together?"

Li Tingxi's eyes never left Su Youling's stubborn figure, wanting to see her reaction and whether she wanted to ask more questions about Shen Xiyue.

If he had even the slightest concern for his affairs, he wouldn't be this angry!

Su Youling gritted her teeth, glanced back at Li Tingxi, and asked without a trace of emotion, "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li's illness shouldn't be as serious as a life-or-death situation, right? Could you give me Professor Jin's schedule first?"

That mouth of hers only knows how to make him angry!

Li Tingxi's eyes darkened instantly. He grabbed Su Youling's hand and said to the astonished Professor Jin, "I'm sorry, Professor, we..."

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

I have some personal matters to attend to.

Professor Jin stood up. "You..."

But Li Tingxi didn't give her a chance to speak at all. He roughly dragged Su Youling out, ignoring her struggles, and took her back to his room, slamming her against the wall.

"Su Youling, have you made enough of a scene?" Li Tingxi's breath was almost touching her lips, his hot, angry breath landing on her face, making Su Youling immediately alert.

She stopped struggling, partly because she was afraid of angering Li Tingxi, and partly because she was afraid of hurting the child.

"Li Tingxi, you're the one being unreasonable." Su Youling looked at him calmly, enduring her physical discomfort. "Chen Xiyue is back by your side, and even the Shen family has stopped contacting me. Shouldn't you also be hoping that I'll wisely disappear?"

Before she changed her phone number, the Shen family kept harassing her with calls and emails because of Li Tingxi's big moves. Su Youling had no feelings for the two elders of the Shen family, so she simply blocked their contact information. However, she still received occasional angry questions and curses from Shen's father in her work emails.

Although she has changed her phone number now, it's normal that people from before can't contact her, but there's also no activity in her work emails.

The Shen family, the company, the Chenzhou factory, Li Mufeng...

Logically, even if word of her disappearance and kidnapping hadn't leaked out, Li Mufeng and Xiao Han, the two parties involved, would have known immediately and contacted her through various means.

The fact that even they are unmoved now can only mean that they have seen a 'Chen Xiyue' who is safe and sound after being kidnapped, and that this imposter Mrs. Li should quietly make her exit.

"Is President Li being so aggressive now because he's genuinely jealous, or is it just his possessiveness?" Su Youling said sarcastically. "If Shen Xiyue saw you like this, wouldn't her condition worsen?"
