Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Chapter 612 Did they argue again?
Old Master Yin was somewhat puzzled, wondering to himself if this kid had taken the wrong medicine.
"Li Tingxi, stop talking." Su Youling tugged at Li Tingxi's sleeve without making a sound. "Forget it! Let their family reunite properly."
Su Youling opened the door and let Old Master Yin go in first. When she turned around to say something to Li Tingxi, he had already disappeared.
She bit her lip, feeling a sense of loss.
This guy must be really angry, he just ran away like that...
at the same time.
Feng Anhuai, who was in the hospital, was surprised to see the company's vice president. "Vice president, what brings you here so suddenly? Has something happened at the company?"
The vice president put his hand on Feng Anhuai's shoulder, turned around and closed the door. "You're quite familiar with Su Youling, the former CEO of Strange Kingdom, aren't you? Were you lovers before?"
"Former CEO?" Feng Anhuai's expression changed slightly. "How could that be? What happened to Su Youling? Was she kicked out of the Strange Kingdom? With Old Master Yin around, that's impossible."
"Don't get agitated. There's a reason for everything, and she didn't lose." The vice president briefly explained what happened in the strange country, calmly observing the ever-changing expression on Feng Anhuai's face. "Feng Anhuai, I know you're an ambitious man—beauty and power, you have to have one of them, right? Moreover, a man can only get the beauty he desires when he has absolute power."
Looking at this vice president, whose presence in the company was usually very low, Feng Anhuai felt a slight unease in his heart. "What exactly does the vice president want to say?"
“President Ross is a landmine planted in the company, ready to explode at any moment and destroy it,” the vice president said in a low voice. “With the Ferro family and Li Tingxi around, President Ross is completely finished this time. He won’t be arrogant for long. But the company can’t go down with him. You are a very good candidate to be the next CEO.”
Feng Anhuai rationally retorted, "Doesn't the vice president want the CEO position?"
"I don't have that ambition, nor that ability. The most valuable thing is self-awareness. Only you can save the company from President Ross's disaster." The vice president smiled slightly, patting Feng Anhuai on the shoulder. "You were injured this time because of Su Youling, right? The hero saving the damsel in distress is cliché, but the trick doesn't have to be new, as long as it works..."
“I saved her because I love her, not because of what you’re saying…” Feng Anhuai retorted unhappily, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
"Sorry, I used the wrong word." The vice president didn't mind his attitude and comforted him, "An Huai, I've actually been watching you for a long time. With your abilities and skills, you are fully capable of being the CEO."
He produced a shareholder letter of intent and said, “I have secretly submitted a new proposal to the board of directors—as long as you can persuade Su Youling to give up on dealing with the company, President Ross will naturally be kicked out of the company, and then we will unanimously nominate you to be the CEO.”
Feng Anhuai's expression changed slightly. "Really?"
He opened the letter of intent and read it word by word, a hint of undisguised ambition flashing in his eyes—he really couldn't let the company die in Ross's hands like this.
But how can we get Li Tingxi and his team to give up on targeting President Ross?
As the vice president said, only by winning over Su Youling can we have any chance.
"It seems you've thought it through." The vice president smiled confidently. "The matter is urgent. President Ross's kidnapping plot has been exposed, and the outcome will be made public soon. At that time, the company will also be affected."

A significant impact.
"At that time, I hope you can call Su Youling as soon as possible and ask her to help persuade Li Tingxi not to destroy the company."
“But…” Feng Anhuai hesitated at the last minute, “Are you so sure Su Youling will agree to help me with this?”
In fact, he knew long ago that he could not have Su Youling.
As long as Li Tingxi is by Su Youling's side, she will never see anyone else.
All things considered... I've helped Su Youling so much before, even risking my life to save her, so asking Su Youling to help me this time isn't exactly taking advantage of her kindness!
Thinking of this, Feng Anhuai couldn't hide his excitement—after so many years of hard work, he had finally reached a turning point in his career and could now make his mark.
Faced with real power, obtaining Su Youling as she is now doesn't seem so important anymore.
The vice president is right—throughout history, beautiful women have always been an adornment for power and authority, never the entirety of a man's life.
Li Tingxi likes Su Youling so much, and he's been pursuing her for so many years without giving up... So I'll kindly give Su Youling to him completely and stop competing for her.
...
Rebecca didn't get to see Lu Mingxuan wake up before Mrs. Ferro and Old Master Yin forcibly took her back to Atlanta, where a top international team of experts was waiting to examine her and treat her condition.
Throughout the entire process, Su Youling did not appear in front of Rebecca at the same time as Mrs. Ferro, not wanting to cause her any burden at this moment.
Su Youling originally wanted to rescue Rebecca and fly back immediately to be with the children.
However, considering the ordeal Yangyang had undergone in the past few days, Professor Richard was worried that something might be wrong with the child's health, so he suggested that they bring the child back.
Su Youling thought about the things she still had to deal with, and besides, Li Tingxi had been giving her the cold shoulder for the past two days, and his attitude towards her was lukewarm, as if he was always being awkward...
Bringing the child over can also ease the tension.
Although Li Tingxi's help in rescuing Rebecca was indeed touching, the key reason for their breakdown in their conversation wasn't simply a matter of being moved.
Therefore, she wouldn't impulsively show weakness to Li Tingxi because of his illness, otherwise it would only encourage his unhealthy mentality.
After Su Hong returned with her three children and the two Zhou brothers, she kept rubbing her old bones, saying, "I'm getting old, and I really can't take these repeated flights."
A look of longing crossed her eyes. "Lingling, when can we go back to China? I want to go home and visit. The longer I stay abroad, the more I miss home."
Su Youling knew she had troubled her mother a lot these days, and couldn't help but feel guilty, saying, "Mom, I'm sorry, thank you so much for taking care of the children these days."
“Once we’ve finished dealing with things here and Yangyang’s condition has stabilized, we’ll go back to China immediately…” As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Li Tingxi, who was having dinner with the child. “After all, our roots are there, and our family will have to go back sooner or later.”
Li Tingxi paused, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Su Youling despite the sound of Yueyue chattering in his ears.
Yangyang and Xingxing looked left and right.
"Yangyang, did Mom and Dad fight again?" Xingxing asked softly. "They didn't talk much during the meal, which seemed strange."
