Chapter 61 Be a good girl and come back with me

This stab was precise and ruthless, far more effective than the previous deliberate provocation.

Li Tingxi recalled that Chen Yu had coveted Su Youling back in Chenzhou and had used so many underhanded tactics; one could only imagine what would happen after Su Youling was kidnapped…

He dared not let himself think too deeply, otherwise he would lose control and kill those two damned kidnappers!

But Su Youling's words were like sharp knives, especially the look in her eyes at that moment, as if she had recalled the life-or-death ordeal she had suffered that night. He accurately captured the fleeting despair and fear in her eyes, making the knife pierce even deeper, causing his heart to clench and his face to turn slightly pale.

"This will never happen again." Li Tingxi, like a devout believer kneeling in a Buddhist temple, lowered his head and gently kissed her wound, saying in a hoarse voice, "I will protect you from now on."

Su Youling's fingers almost slipped out of control and she wanted to grab the ashtray and smash it, but his kiss on her wound seemed to cast a spell, making her tremble all over.

These past few days, she appeared to be perfectly fine, running around and worrying about her mother's illness. But every time she fell asleep, she dreamed more than once of being pinned down and humiliated by Chen Yu, and being crushed into dust by that rampaging car time and time again.

Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she would unconsciously call out Li Tingxi's name and subconsciously reach out to find his warm body, just as she had prayed and hoped countless times that Li Tingxi would suddenly appear on the night she was kidnapped.

But just like in reality, Li Tingxi never came to her side to redeem her; all she could touch, both in and out of the dream, was a cold, indifferent world.

"There is no future! What future do we have?" Su Youling trembled violently. "Li Tingxi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Li Tingxi's eyes darkened. He didn't continue to explain, but straightened up slightly. His gaze fell on her chest and abdomen. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that Su Youling was always intentionally or unintentionally curling up her waist, protecting her lower abdomen, and her body was always tense.

Could she have been injured somewhere when she was kidnapped?

Li Tingxi didn't even think about it.

He raised his hand and lifted her clothes around her abdomen, wanting to see for himself what injuries she had suffered before he could feel at ease.

Bang!

Without a second thought, Su Youling slammed the ashtray onto his arm and then shoved her knee into it hard. Li Tingxi groaned, clutching his throbbing arm as he slumped onto the bed, staring at her in shock and anger. "You actually dared to do that!"

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Su Youling scrambled to her feet, pulling her clothes around her neck, and glared fiercely at Li Tingxi. "You beast! This is rape!"

That was so close!

He was so close to seeing her lower abdomen; perhaps he would have noticed something.

Although she was thin and malnourished, and her baby was only two months old and there was no sign of anything wrong, she was still guilty and didn't want Li Tingxi to touch her body.

Although Li Tingxi seems to be relentlessly pursuing her now, it's definitely not out of love. Perhaps it's habit, possessiveness, or a desire for challenge...

Once Li Tingxi finds out about the child's existence, she is terrified that he will harm the child.

Li Tingxi's arm was in excruciating pain. Even if it wasn't broken, it was probably quite badly injured. His face was as gloomy as a rainstorm in August, radiating a chilling aura that froze the entire room. Only Su Youling's shallow breathing remained as she silently confronted him.

She was actually afraid that if Li Tingxi really got angry and did something hurtful, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just as Su Youling was wondering whether she should be pragmatic and appease him first, she saw Li Tingxi suddenly get out of bed, expressionlessly take a first-aid kit from the cabinet, and throw it onto the bed.

Su

Youling's eyelids twitched, and she glanced guiltily at his arm.

She really didn't control her strength just now, I hope she didn't break any bones?

"Apply the medicine!" Li Tingxi stood by the bed with a cold face, suppressing his anger as he looked at Su Youling's guilty and pale face, and coldly warned, "You'd better be obedient now, otherwise I don't know what I might do."

Su Youling clenched her fist slightly, her heart trembling slightly.

She knew Li Tingxi's temper and character all too well.

In the past, if anyone dared to lay a finger on him, he would retaliate with two hands!

She slapped him first today, then hit him so hard with an ashtray...

In the past, she didn't know what a terrible and miserable fate awaited her now. Today, Li Tingxi had indeed reached his limit of patience. She could feel the imminent ferocity and chill emanating from Li Tingxi, and she wasn't foolish enough to provoke him further.

Su Youling helped Li Tingxi take off half of his shirt, revealing his injured right arm. Although the bone wasn't broken, it was swollen up high and covered with a large bruise, which looked quite frightening.

Feeling her breathing become slightly erratic on her arm, and her hand still a little unsteady as she applied the medicine, Li Tingxi's anger subsided silently.

This woman wasn't heartless. Whether she was still scared or felt even a little bit of heartache, at least at this moment, Su Youling's heart and eyes were filled with him.

Li Tingxi felt that he had become unrecognizable, and he himself did not understand why he had been so lenient with Su Youling.

In this world, even his parents had never laid a hand on him, let alone outsiders who could even touch a single hair on his head. Only Su Youling was so audacious, striking without hesitation.

How could he have thought that this woman was cut from the same mold as the gentle and graceful Shen Xiyue?

"How about we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Su Youling didn't have much experience in treating wounds, and looking at the swollen, red skin that was almost bursting with blood, she felt a little alarmed.

Li Tingxi moved his arm, his brows furrowing as he struggled to move it due to the pain.

Su Youling felt a chill run down her spine, worried that he would retaliate. She subtly moved a few inches further into the bed, unaware that this only made Li Tingxi angrier. "Afraid I'll hit you? What kind of image do you have of me?"

He recalled Lance's question, and his face instantly darkened. "Why are you spreading rumors about me committing domestic violence?"

Su Youling "..."

She didn't say it was domestic violence.

What can she do if outsiders insist on making that guess?

Before Su Youling could explain, the phone rang.

Lance's phone call.

Li Tingxi glanced at it, his face turning even uglier.

Su Youling ignored what he thought and calmly answered, "Lance, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

“Susu, now I understand why you’re disappointed in men!” Lance sighed with maturity beyond his years, and didn’t press the topic any further. He asked sensibly, “Have you finished talking with…? It’s almost lunchtime. Grandpa invites you to the restaurant for dinner.”

"Okay, I'll be right there." Su Youling hung up the phone, trying to figure out how to persuade Professor Jin to stay in B City so that her mother could have the surgery first.

She didn't know the nature of Professor Jin's relationship with Li Tingxi, but judging from Li Tingxi's confident tone earlier and their familiar attitude just now, Professor Jin was probably more inclined to help Li Tingxi.

Su Youling glanced at Li Tingxi and asked, "What illness does Shen Xiyue have? Can't she even last a day or two?"

“I can ask Professor Jin to stay in B City to perform the surgery on your mother.” Li Tingxi also calmed down and looked at her thin face, saying calmly, “After the surgery, come back with me obediently.”
