Chapter 622 Think Twice Before Acting

Su Youling glanced at Li Tingxi and then gave Xia Zhiying a meaningful look.

Xia Zhiying immediately understood and deliberately raised her voice, "Professor Richard must have been psychologically influenced by Carlos, which is why his temperament changed drastically in a short period of time, becoming manic, bloodthirsty, and filled with hatred..."

This is, in effect, explaining to Li Tingxi the origin of the professor's abnormality.

“He needs professional psychological intervention to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will definitely drive himself crazy if this continues.” Before she could finish speaking, Li Tingxi suddenly stood up and gave Professor Richard a cold look. “You’d better watch yourself.”

Professor Richard stared blankly at the remote control, muttering to himself, refusing to make eye contact with Li Tingxi, as if he were possessed.

Xia Zhiying frowned slightly and asked someone to help take him away. "You two talk, I'll go check on his condition first."

For a moment, only two people remained in the room.

Su Youling had just regained some strength, but her neck was still very sore, and she was still shaken by the near-death experience. She couldn't help but look at Li Tingxi and say, "Thank you."

"Is this all you wanted to tell me?" Li Tingxi's face darkened. He was so angry that he wanted to strangle this unromantic woman, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In the end, he could only sulk.

"Su Youling, why are you always so foolish? So many years have passed, and you're still hopelessly stupid. Do you still think everyone in the world deserves forgiveness?"

He was so angry that he spoke without thinking, "Old Master Yin did help you, but you've been helping him and his family for so many years. You've already paid back what you owed them. He treated you like that before, but you didn't complain at all."

"This time, Professor Richard saved Yangyang, but we also let Ye Qing go again and again out of respect for him, which almost led to a disaster."

"As it turns out, you have to be ruthless to deal with these people once and for all; otherwise, you or the people around you will always be the ones who get hurt. Your kindness is seen as a weakness they can exploit. After all these years in business, can't you understand such a simple game of human nature?"

“Li Tingxi…” Su Youling opened her mouth, but before she could speak, the enraged Li Tingxi cut her off, “Don’t call me! You were almost strangled to death by that old man just now, and you’re still defending him at a time like this. I think you’re getting more and more regressive as you get older!”

He thought of the scene he had just witnessed when he burst through the door—Su Youling, like a dying little animal, fell helplessly into Professor Richard's palm, her eyes rolled back, her face turned purplish-black, and she had no strength left to struggle.

If he had arrived a moment later, this woman might have really died.

Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but shudder and pace irritably around the room, trying to control his violent temper by exhausting his energy.

"You're kind to everyone, but ruthless to me. You're such a shrewd woman!" Li Tingxi suddenly stopped in front of Su Youling, gritting his teeth. "How did you manage to raise a child who's still alive today, given how stupid you are?"

So stupid?

Su Youling was unconvinced and grabbed his collar, sneering, "Am I that stupid? Back then, I still managed to fake my death while pregnant, fooling everyone, including you."

"You!" Li Tingxi's anger was stuck between his brows, so angry that he didn't know what to do with her.

You're just trying to drive me crazy sooner or later.

Her faked death and escape back then was, to some extent, a taboo between the two of them. Every time she thought of Li Tingxi, she couldn't help but feel violent and panicked.

However, this time Su Youling spoke in an almost playful and relaxed tone, with a hint of smug pride, as if she had returned to the time when Su Youling was still by her side—even when she occasionally had her own little temper, it was evidence that they were gradually becoming more in sync.

For some reason, Li Tingxi's anger and lingering fear were soothed by her words and small gesture, and his tense expression relaxed a bit.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" He grabbed Su Youling's hand with lingering fear, wishing he could shrink her down and put her in his pocket so he could take her everywhere.

"I told you not to do anything reckless, but you still dared to risk your life. If I had arrived a moment later, were you deliberately trying to make me a widower and leave your three children without a mother?"

Su Youling was still shaken by what she had just experienced; it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid.

In the past, she would naturally have stood her ground in front of Li Tingxi to maintain her persona, and she would never have shown weakness to him so easily.

only--

"Li Tingxi, I was so scared." This time, Su Youling hugged him, revealing her vulnerable side to Li Tingxi, and said in a hoarse voice, "I was really afraid that I would never see the children again, never see my friends and family again..."

Li Tingxi couldn't help but tighten his grip on her waist, gritting his teeth as he asked, "What else?"

“And…” Su Youling raised her head, staring at his displeased eyes, and said seriously, “I’m actually a little scared that if I die, I won’t be able to see you anymore.”

Li Tingxi breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason, and stiffly tugged at the corner of his lips. "At least you still have some conscience... Since you're afraid, think twice before you act in the future."

He seemed to be saying to someone, "I can't always get there on time, what if next time..."

"I will protect myself." Su Youling grabbed his hand and noticed that it was trembling uncontrollably.

She then realized that the near-death experience had perhaps had a much greater impact on him than it had on her, the person directly involved.

"Li Tingxi, let's go to the hospital first." Su Youling squeezed his fingers tightly, as if to comfort him. "I miss Yangyang. He was so frightened this time, he must want to see his mom and dad as soon as possible."

This is the first time Su Youling has personally acknowledged the identity of 'father'.

Li Tingxi didn't react for a moment, but subconsciously relaxed his body and let Su Youling pull him out the door, heading towards his family.

As the scenery changed along the way, the two sat in the back with their hands clasped together, each looking out the window without making eye contact, but in their minds, scenes of how they met and fell in love flashed through their minds.

Their fingers involuntarily clenched together.

Neither of them loosened their grip even slightly.

In the driver's seat, Qin He saw this scene in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but scream in his heart—after all this trouble, they've finally made up.

If these two don't start dating soon, viewers will be sending them death threats.

"Qin He." Before getting out of the car, Li Tingxi suddenly turned around and asked, "The news from here should have reached back to China. What's Li Qidong's reaction?"

Qin He's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand, "President, you can rest assured. With Actor Yan and my sister around, Li Qidong won't be able to cause any trouble."
