Chapter 65 Just Taking a Sleep

Su Youling withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, but her fingers clenched silently at her side.

The baby is still very young, and her pregnancy is unstable, so intercourse is absolutely out of the question. I have to find a way tonight to get some from Li Tingxi.

He'd be better off just getting some sleep.

Unexpectedly, Su Youling's nervousness was somewhat unnecessary.

Li Tingxi was truly exhausted, it was obvious to the naked eye. He fell asleep on the way to the hotel, leaning against her shoulder, his brows furrowed in his sleep.

He was unconscious when he arrived at the hotel entrance.

Qin He glanced at Li Tingxi and whispered to Su Youling, "Chairman Li is seriously ill and hospitalized, his life hanging in the balance. Mrs. Li's old illness has relapsed, and Li Qidong is still stirring up trouble even while in the police station. The Shen couple, thinking they have something to hide because of Shen Xiyue's return, have started harassing President Li again, and the entire Li Group is restless... President Li shouldn't have left City A these days."

Su Youling was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Li Tingxi's father was really seriously ill. Perhaps his life or death was related to the stability of the Li family, so there was no news from the outside world.

So, was it really because Chairman Li was sick that Li Tingxi couldn't go to the airport that night?

But no matter what, it's a fact that Shen Xiyue has returned to China, and Li Tingxi can't possibly ignore his white moonlight.

“He came to B City to seek medical treatment for Shen Xiyue. What’s the use of you complaining to me?” Su Youling looked out the window. “I can’t persuade him anyway.”

“Madam,” Qin He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Li Tingxi, “Professor Jin has lived a secluded life for many years and originally refused to come to the country.”

Su Youling's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously retorted, "He did it to repair the antiques left by his deceased wife. Don't try to fool me."

"What kind of person is Professor Jin? Would someone his age really need to personally travel thousands of miles to the country to restore an antique? Even if he could have his descendants do it for him, hiring an expert to restore it at his home through high prices or connections would be the normal procedure," Qin He whispered. "President Li helped Professor Jin in his younger days..."

"I've gained a huge favor. If it weren't for President Li's personal invitation, how could Professor Jin have possibly agreed to come?"

Su Youling's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but glare at Qin He. "Qin Assistant, what do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that Li Tingxi went to such great lengths to bring this person here for my mother's sake?"

"All I know is that when President Li invited Professor Jin, Shen Xiyue hadn't returned yet." Qin He noticed Su Youling's reluctance and wisely refrained from saying anything more, lest he make things worse.

As soon as he calmed down, those words replayed in Su Youling's mind like a replay, constantly challenging her preconceived notions.

What does Li Tingxi mean by this?

Is his sudden kindness towards her a result of a pang of conscience wanting to make amends? Or is it because he's gotten used to her presence and wants to keep her?

But no matter which one it is, it definitely won't be the one Qin He was implying.

"We've arrived?" Just as Su Youling was feeling flustered, Li Tingxi opened his eyes. He was still a little dazed because he had been sleeping too soundly. His hair was messy and disheveled, and his bangs fell down, covering part of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look young and lazy, lacking the sharpness of someone who had fought on the battlefield.

Su Youling's heart skipped a beat. She was almost blinded by the sight of the beautiful woman before her. Somewhat embarrassed, she turned her head and got out of the car first.

"We've arrived at the hotel. If you're tired, go check into your room and get some sleep."

Li Tingxi frowned, sensing that Su Youling was acting strangely, but his mind wasn't quite clear yet after just waking up. He rubbed his temples, got out of the car, and without saying a word, took her hand and led her inside. "I'll sleep in your room."

Su You

Ling opened her mouth, glanced back at Qin He who was staring intently at her, and ultimately did not refuse.

She had only been in B City for a few days and had been busy taking care of her mother and searching for Professor Jin, so the new house that Wei Ning had found for her hadn't been furnished yet, and she planned to stay in a hotel for the next two days.

Qin He drove the car over directly, which suggests that Li Tingxi had investigated her before coming.

Su Youling felt somewhat powerless. Faced with Li Tingxi's power and strength, she couldn't possibly escape completely without thorough preparation.

Once her mother's surgery is over, she needs to make plans as soon as possible.

Su Youling lives in a hotel-style apartment. It's not very big, let alone luxurious. It has a small kitchen where she can cook nutritious meals for her mother and deliver them to the hospital.

Li Tingxi, accustomed to the luxurious presidential suite, was clearly somewhat disgusted when he entered.

Su Youling glanced at him and said, "The space is limited. If you can't stretch your legs out, Mr. Li, you can go to the seven-star hotel on the street."

"It is indeed too small, but it is cozy." Li Tingxi changed his shoes and, as if his personality had changed, took her hand and spun her around inside and out, just like a male protagonist inspecting his territory. Su Youling looked quite helpless and pointed to the bathroom, saying, "Aren't you tired? Take a shower and go to sleep."

Li Tingxi nodded, took two steps, and suddenly turned back, "I haven't eaten anything for almost a day."

Su Youling thought to herself, "You deserve it. Why did you have to come here and annoy people instead of staying in City A?"

But when she heard the sound of water running in the bathroom, she regretted not being able to control herself and inexplicably ending up in the kitchen, making sour soup wontons, which Li Tingxi loved.

Su Youling "..."

Well, let's just consider it repayment for his kindness in inviting Professor Jin!

After taking a shower, Li Tingxi smelled the fragrance

The tantalizing aroma reached the small dining table, and my eyes lit up. "It's been so long since I've had wontons made by you!"

In the past, Su Youling would personally cook for him whenever she had free time. She learned to cook all kinds of fancy dishes with ease, and her virtuousness left even a five-star private chef with no need to use his skills.

Unfortunately, he was used to Su Youling feeding him, but he never realized how lucky he was and didn't feel anything special about it.

It wasn't until the two had a falling out and he returned to the Li Mansion that he could no longer enjoy a warm and comforting meal. Even when he asked the chef to cook according to Su Youling's recipe, he couldn't replicate her flavor. Only then did he realize what made Su Youling special.

No matter how hungry Li Tingxi was, his inherent elegance and manners never went out of style. His dining etiquette was a pleasure to watch. Su Youling snapped out of her daze, quickly stood up and said hastily, "I'm going to take a shower. You can go to sleep after you finish eating. Don't worry about me."

She didn't want to share a bed with Li Tingxi while he was awake, worried that things might get out of hand. She figured it wouldn't hurt for her to spend the night on the sofa after Li Tingxi fell asleep.

Li Tingxi glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and the wontons in his mouth suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.

Su Youling's bath lasted for more than an hour. The pampered CEO Li finished washing the dishes and waited impatiently on the bed for a long time, wearing a bathrobe.

Li Tingxi got up and knocked on the door. His figure standing at the bathroom doorway looked aggressive. "Su Youling, are you trying to soak yourself until you're all bloated?"

Su Youling had already showered and was sitting in the bathroom, dressed warmly, to pass the time. She didn't expect Li Tingxi to stay awake, and she herself almost fell asleep while waiting.

Startled by what was happening outside the door, I almost fell asleep and landed on the floor.

Su Youling jumped up and said, "Right away."

"If you don't come out, I'm coming in." Li Tingxi turned the doorknob, and sure enough, it was locked. He immediately questioned in annoyance, "Are you trying to hide from me?"
