Chapter 630 The Blood-Red Thorny Road

Li Mufeng shook his head firmly, "Impossible! We've been brothers for so many years, I know Li Tingxi too well. He's been invincible in his life, his only weakness is Su Youling, and his biggest inner demon also comes from Su Youling."

“That guy is really awkward. You guys think he's mentally ill, but he probably doesn't think so. He just sees this inner demon as punishment for his mistakes back then, and constantly reminds himself to cherish Su Youling. Only in this way can he get out of the shadow of losing Su Youling five years ago.”

Xia Zhiying raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

How can this kind of morbid cognition be considered a true breakthrough?

...

The Li Mansion.

After hanging up the phone, Su Youling looked at Li Tingxi for a moment and asked, "Not angry?"

"As long as you're not angry." Li Tingxi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath while holding Su Youling's hand, as if he had made a difficult and important decision. "Su Su, let's not fight anymore, okay? I cherish this feeling of home. From childhood to adulthood, I've never truly had a home of my own."

In Li's mother's heart, he was merely a tool to marry into a wealthy family and tie down the old man. In Li's grandfather's heart, he was just a pawn to manage the company, fight for him in the business world, and pave the way for Li Qidong.

Every time he saw the three children, he was incredibly grateful that Su Youling hadn't held a grudge against his foolishness and cold-heartedness back then, and had still chosen to give birth to the children.

The more grateful one is, the deeper one's guilt and love become.

He couldn't wait to keep people at home completely.

This time, he wanted to do it openly and honestly, rather than resorting to harsh methods to hurt her out of fear of losing her.

He used to be afraid and assertive, but that was just to cover up his inner unease and fear. Yangyang's words today have awakened him.

His self-righteous toughness and love, which those around him always felt, only deepened misunderstandings and created distance. Coupled with Su Youling's sudden change to gentleness, and Xia Zhiying's subtle hints and encouragement, all of these gave him new...

Confidence and hope.

Perhaps... taking this step, things won't be as bad as he thinks?

Thinking of this, Li Tingxi looked at Su Youling, who was so close to him, with even more nervousness, as if he was afraid that she would run away. Although he tried his best to hide his unease and fear, Su Youling still saw something different in his uneasy eyes.

Li Tingxi has really changed a lot.

In the past, he was always tough and invulnerable, and no one could make him reveal his weaknesses or the vulnerability deep in his heart.

Even after she returned to China and was resurrected, he deliberately acted weak several times, all in an attempt to gain her affection.

This time, she could feel Li Tingxi's sincerity—he was trying to change himself and carefully opening his heart.

Su Youling sighed, "Li Tingxi, I've already moved to the Li Mansion with the child. Do you think I did this so that I could argue with you every day?"

Li Tingxi's palm tightened, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I will control my emotions and won't hurt you and the child..."

“Li Tingxi, you know the root of the problem isn’t here.” Su Youling didn’t forcefully push him to confront his inner turmoil and illness as she had before. Instead, she gently and patiently guided him, “I moved here to stay close to you and accompany you to overcome everything you dare not face.”

"I don't……"

“Everyone has a side they don’t want to reveal, I have mine, and you’re no exception. If it weren’t affecting your health and the future of our family, I wouldn’t force you.” Su Youling grabbed him.

The hand that had been trying to escape now encouraged, "Li Tingxi, don't let my efforts go to waste. You have no idea how much courage it took for me to convince myself to come back to you."

These words were like a heavy hammer blow, instantly shattering the high defenses that Li Tingxi had built up in his heart, making him both nervous and worried, while also giving him a sense of courage to go all out.

"Give me some time." He closed his eyes briefly. "Once we've resolved things with Li Qidong and the old man, would you be willing to come with me to see Dr. Xia?"

"I've been waiting for that day." Su Youling was so happy she almost cried, and couldn't help but pinch him. "Li Tingxi, you idiot, I thought you were going to make me wait a lifetime before you'd take this step..."

She didn't cry like this when she gave birth to triplets.

Ultimately, it's because Li Tingxi is such a difficult person to deal with. Even a top psychological expert like Xia Zhiying struggles to break down his psychological defenses when faced with a patient like him.

For her to receive such a promise is already a major breakthrough.

Seeing her tears, Li Tingxi was momentarily stunned. He hurriedly wiped away her tears, wanting to apologize but not knowing where to begin.

"Don't cry, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?" Su Youling glared at him. "You men are always willing to admit your mistakes and dare to repeat them. Don't think I don't know that."

Li Tingxi "..."

What makes you say that?

Su Youling: "Idiot!"

Only when he saw her burst out laughing did Li Tingxi breathe a sigh of relief, his expression complex as he said, "You rarely cry like this, so you can imagine how much of a jerk I am."

"No, you're more handsome and charming than ever now, and your courage makes my heart flutter." Su

Youling took the initiative to pounce on him and gave him a kiss, then stopped abruptly before things escalated, saying, "Aren't you supposed to be at a meeting? If you don't leave now, you'll make people wait."

Li Tingxi gritted his teeth, sat up with a dark face, and said, "You did this on purpose."

"You could also learn from the brainless CEOs in those domineering novels, who would abandon a whole conference room of executives and board members for the sake of a beautiful woman, and whose love is so fleeting that no one can compare to his wife..." Su Youling teased, making Li Tingxi frown. "How could someone like that become a CEO? The company will go bankrupt sooner or later!"

Su Youling was overjoyed.

So much has happened in the past few months; she hasn't felt this happy and relaxed in a long time.

"By the way, since returning to China, Li Qidong's matter hasn't been brought to the forefront," Su Youling asked. "Are you going to deal with his issue first when you go to the company this time?"

"It's not my turn to deal with him yet. Because Li Qidong used Yan Siyue's identity and crossed Yan Qinghe's bottom line, he has already been locked up." Li Tingxi said calmly, "He has been living freely for so many years, he should have been punished long ago. As long as Yan Qinghe doesn't kill him, I don't care."

Su Youling was surprised: "I thought you would prefer to do it yourself."

"..." Li Tingxi bent down and kissed her. "If it were before, I would have personally tortured Li Qidong to the point of wishing I were dead, and then let the old man watch as a friend, torturing them both until they regretted being born..."

Just thinking about that bloody and cruel scene made Su Youling frown. However, she was not some saintly white lotus. She knew that the business world was like a battlefield, and that the means used by wealthy families to fight for power and profit were far more cruel and bloody than that.

It's impossible for Li Tingxi to have gotten to where he is today without some tricks up his sleeve.

However, she didn't want Li Tingxi to continue walking a blood-stained, thorny path.
