Chapter 602 The True Face of the Mastermind

Hearing this, Xingxing chuckled, "Brother is such a tsundere with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He clearly admires how amazing Dad is!"

That word 'dad' sounds so pleasant!

Li Tingxi was so happy he was practically dizzy with joy. "Stars..."

It's really not easy.

He finally gained his son's approval and heard this rare "Dad".

Yangyang's ears turned slightly red, and he immediately said seriously, "Xingxing, Mom hasn't agreed to him yet. You're calling him Dad too early."

Li Tingxi's smile froze on his lips before he could fully open it. He looked at Su Youling with a hint of resentment but didn't say a word.

Su Youling suddenly felt conflicted, but she couldn't deny the indescribable happiness welling up inside her, and she was caught in a dilemma.

Li Tingxi is a man she liked for a long time and still likes very much now!

She never denied her feelings and desires for Li Tingxi, but his expression right now was really irritating, a typical case of getting the better deal and then acting innocent.

Su Youling stood up seriously, and said somewhat awkwardly, "We made a promise beforehand that as long as you agree, you can call us whatever you want, without having to consider the affairs between us adults."

Li Tingxi was overjoyed and asked incredulously, "Su Su, does that mean you accept me? We don't have to hide it from the child anymore?"

"Hide it?" Su Youling looked at them like they were idiots. "Do they need to hide their intelligence? They're just one thin layer of paper away from understanding."

Under the expectant gaze of the starry-eyed girl, she said irritably, "It's your freedom to shout however you want, I won't be angry."

"Really?" Xingxing excitedly adopted Yueyue's tone, raising her fist to signal to Li Tingxi, "Then you're my dad from now on. You have to treat Mom well, or you'll be out of the game. Let's call this the 'Dad Internship'!"

Li Tingxi paused for a moment, then smiled and nudged the little guy with his fist. "Thank you, Xingxing. I'll do my best."

Yangyang muttered under his breath, "Traitor!"

Su Youling smiled and shook her head, then picked up Yangyang and walked out. "Hurry home! I'll find a doctor to give you a thorough check-up right away, so you don't cause any problems."

She got out of bed and saw the pool of blood at the port. Suddenly, she remembered, "Where is Chen Xiyue?"

Li Tingxi led Xingxing off the ship and said calmly, "Let Old Master Yin take him away for now. After all, the country is the territory where the Yin family and the Fei Luo family are rooted. If we want to capture Li Qidong, it is the most efficient way to let them come."

“Li Qidong?” Su Youling was stunned. “You mean—Li Qidong is the person behind Shen Xiyue? How is that possible? When the kidnapping case happened five years ago, Li Qidong was still in prison. Weren’t you keeping a close eye on him? How could he have planned all this?”

If it were Old Master Li providing assistance from outside, Li Tingxi wouldn't have been able to remain unaware for so many years.

When she learned of this enormous mastermind, she never considered Li Qidong, who was in prison, as a factor.

"We'll talk about it in detail when we get back. Let's go pick up Mom and Yueyue first." Li Tingxi changed his address as if they were old friends, completely changing his previous fierce demeanor. He led his son and followed his wife, looking every bit the good father and husband.

Xingxing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad, you're a bit shameless... Mom didn't even agree to be with you."

"It's only a matter of time," Li Tingxi said confidently.

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

He originally had a lot of anger and dissatisfaction and wanted to have a good talk with Su Youling afterward, so that she wouldn't act on her own again in the future.

However, the behavior of the mother and her two children was truly unexpected, which subtly dissolved his anger, making it disappear without a trace.

That night.

After undergoing the examination, Yangyang was so tired that he fell asleep.

Ever since Su Hong heard Li Tingxi suddenly and eagerly call her "Mom," she was so frightened that she couldn't even walk straight. She volunteered to go to the room to watch over Yangyang and avoid this overly enthusiastic future son-in-law.

Only Yueyue, knowing that her brother Xingxing had betrayed her, seemed unhappy. "Mom, have you forgiven Dad... Uncle Li?"

Hearing the words she blurted out, Su Youling smiled slightly and said, "Whether I forgive him or not, you have the right to choose him or not."

"Really?" Yueyue was excited at first, but when she saw Li Tingxi striding over out of the corner of her eye, she immediately said reservedly, "Dad, don't forgive him so quickly. He did so many bad things to you before. Actually, I think that Uncle Feng is also very handsome. Yueyue likes that handsome guy too."

"If Uncle Li doesn't treat you well, Yueyue will help you find more handsome and powerful uncles through blind dates..." The little girl's fist-raising oath made everyone burst into laughter.

Li Tingxi's handsome face darkened. "Don't worry, Dad won't give other men any chance."

"I haven't agreed yet..." Yueyue said awkwardly.

Xingxing realized that her younger sister needed a way out, so she quickly said, "Yueyue, let's give him a 'dad internship period.' Only after passing the internship period and gaining our and Mom's approval can he become a full-fledged dad. He can still call you dad during the internship."

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?" Yueyue jumped up happily, no longer hiding her feelings. "Dad, my brother went out to rescue a damsel in distress without taking Yueyue with him. Tell me about the hero rescue story! I don't know what a hero is. Is he very powerful?"

Li Tingxi "..."

So cute it's almost unbearable.

After putting the children to sleep, Li Tingxi and Su Youling went to the study.

Qin He had been waiting for a long time. "President, we have news from Young Master Li. Yao Ruo's side has also been settled."

Su Youling asked, puzzled, "Yao Ruo? What does that have to do with her?"

"The CEO Ross who has been targeting you is Yan Qinghe's younger brother—Yan Siyue," Li Tingxi said calmly.

Su Youling was shocked. "What? Why is Yan Siyue going against me? I've never even met this person, let alone had any grudge against him."

"Could it be..." She frowned slightly, recalling Li Tingxi's words, "that Yan Siyue has been cooperating with Li Qidong all along?"

Li Tingxi shook his head and pressed Su Youling into a chair. "You're half right—that Yan Siyue is Li Qidong! Back then, under the old man's behind-the-scenes manipulation, he took the opportunity to escape from prison and changed his appearance, hiding as the seriously ill and disappearing Yan Siyue. Because of the Yan family's protection, no one discovered his disguise, which is why this guy has been causing trouble for so long."

"What?" Su Youling's worldview shattered. She never expected such a convoluted and bizarre story to happen around her. "So all of this was done by Li Qidong? He's been hiding for years, stirring up trouble, just to take back the Li family and oppose you?"

“Now, his ambitions must be even greater.” Li Tingxi looked coldly at the information sent by Li Mufeng. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to kidnap Rebecca.”
