Chapter 62 Her Heart Was in Turmoil

"Why?" Su Youling really didn't understand. "Aren't you afraid that the fact that you were forced to marry in place of someone else will be exposed?"

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Li Tingxi couldn’t admit to Su Youling that he couldn’t live without her and had to keep her by his side. “If you don’t agree, not only your mother, but also Wei Ning, your assistant Xiao Han… they will all be implicated because of you.”

Even he himself couldn't explain whether it was possessiveness, habit, or some other factor... But until he figured out his own thoughts, Su Youling had to stay by his side at all times to make him feel at ease and comfortable.

Su Youling is too stubborn. He did his homework before coming and made sure he knew who Su Youling cared about so that he could make her obey.

Su Youling couldn't understand what was going on in Li Tingxi's head. The real white moonlight had already returned, and their names were on the marriage certificate. From beginning to end, she had been an outsider who was temporarily in place of Shen Xiyue. Wasn't it normal for things to end now?

His behavior is so abnormal, could it really be...?

impossible!

The person Li Tingxi loves is Shen Xiyue. Over the years, she has personally experienced Li Tingxi's love and hate for Shen Xiyue. When he misses Shen Xiyue, he will hold her in bed and call out the name of his white moonlight. When he hates Shen Xiyue's betrayal, he will try every means to torment and humiliate her.

From beginning to end, she carried the shackles of Shen Xiyue and never once acted as herself in front of Li Tingxi. Even if he truly loved her, he loved the illusion that wore the shell of Shen Xiyue, not her, Su Youling!

Seeing the tenderness and expectation in Li Tingxi's eyes, Su Youling controlled her hardened heart, determined not to foolishly fall into the illusion woven by this scumbag.

"Okay, as long as my mom's surgery is successful, I'll go back with you." Su Youling gave up resisting. She had someone she cared about, which meant she couldn't go head-to-head with Li Tingxi. Right now, nothing was more important than her health.

Since Li Tingxi doesn't care that her return to City A will expose her substitute marriage, why should she go to all this trouble to think so much for him?

“President Li, have you thought this through? From now on, I am just Su Youling. If you want me to go back, what if things come to light or…” Su Youling stared at him indifferently, “You’d better not regret it.”

"I'll wait and see, Su Youling." Li Tingxi smiled, his eyes full of genuine anticipation, and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

Ever since Su Youling filed for divorce, she has lived more and more authentically each day. In his eyes, there is no trace of Shen Xiyue left in her.

But the more novel and daring Su Youling was, the more he was drawn to her. It was a strange impulse and passion that he had never experienced before, not even when he was with Shen Xiyue.

Su Youling froze for a moment, instinctively trying to dodge, but Li Tingxi grabbed her chin and turned her face around, saying unhappily, "Why are you dodging?"

"How could you kiss my face?" Su Youling retorted, staring intently at him, wanting to see him get angry.

"This face doesn't look like Shen Xiyue anymore."

"Shut up." Li Tingxi scoffed, but he wasn't angry. He was just helpless and didn't want the harmonious atmosphere that had just warmed up to plummet back to freezing point. So he didn't force her to admit her mistake or give in. He just pinched her thin cheek hard and said with great disdain, "When you get back, have the servants cook more good food to nourish you. You're so thin that you're just skin and bones. It's uncomfortable to touch."

“Um… Li Tingxi…” Su Youling

His cheeks were torn and deformed, which was not very harmful, but extremely humiliating.

If you find it uncomfortable, then avoid touching it!

She angrily slapped away Li Tingxi's hand, straightened her clothes, and went to the restaurant first, not caring whether Li Tingxi followed or not.

Professor Jin's dining room is also in a Chinese style. Although he is a foreigner, he seems to be very enthusiastic about local culture, probably thanks to his Eastern wife's influence. Even the tableware and teacups are antique styles with white background, blue porcelain and blue and white decorations.

Wei Ning was looking around like a monkey when he saw Su Youling come in from the door. He immediately jumped up and looked her up and down. "Why is your face so red?"

He glanced behind Su Youling and said meaningfully, "Didn't President Li come along?"

Su Youling subconsciously touched her cheek; it was still hot.

Why is her face so red?

They had been married for three years and had been intimate with Li Tingxi quite a bit. Li Tingxi had even more tricks up his sleeve when he thought about how he had tormented her. How come she didn't even recognize herself today after just a few kisses?

It must be that her body is too sensitive during pregnancy, not that her mind is in turmoil!

"Susu..." Lance strode over, looking at her with a hesitant expression, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you Lance." Su Youling didn't want Lance to get involved. Her situation with Li Tingxi was too complicated, and besides, Lance was just a child in her eyes.

Before Lance could say anything more, Professor Jin cheerfully invited the group to sit down and eat.

He glanced at Su Youling's swollen lips without saying a word, but didn't ask any further questions. He kindly invited the younger generation to eat, joke, and discuss pottery together.

After several conversations, he praised Su Youling's knowledge and skills, and felt an urge to immediately take Su Youling to make pottery.

Su Youling couldn't find a way to confirm the surgery with him. Even Lance could tell that his grandfather was deliberately changing the subject, so he couldn't help but get anxious. "Grandpa, if it weren't for Su Su this time, the ceramic vase that Grandma left behind would have been switched by the heartless boss. You can't not let Su Su's mother have the surgery because of that heartless Li Tingxi."

Wei Ning raised an eyebrow at Su Youling and whispered, "You're really something. The market for divorced parents with children is still so hot. It seems like young people are completely smitten with you."

"Shut up." Su Youling shoved a chicken leg into his mouth, then frowned at Professor Jin. "Professor, I..."

"I know what you're going to say. Tingxi has already called me." Professor Jin's smile remained, but it was a little less warm. "Xiao Su, I think you're a very compatible child. Lance's grandmother left behind a few antiques, but they've all developed flaws over time. Could you take a look at them for me?"

Su realized that Professor Jin wanted to talk to her alone, probably because of Lance.

As expected, once the two went upstairs, Professor Jin's smile faded slightly. He looked at Su Youling and sighed, "Little Su, I've spoiled Lance. He's simple-minded and impulsive, and he's probably caused you and Tingxi a lot of trouble, hasn't he?"

Su Youling was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Li Tingxi and Professor Jin's relationship was so good that he could tell her all about their marital relationship.

If Li Tingxi doesn't budge this time, Professor Jin might really not perform the surgery on her mother.

“Professor, I consider Lance my younger brother.” Su Youling tightened her fingers and explained, “My mother’s condition is really not optimistic. If you have any concerns, please feel free to speak up.”
