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 668 The Method to Remove the Ring
After the two opened up to each other, Su Youling began to truly enjoy family travel, taking the children and Li Tingxi to try parent-child activities they had never wanted to do before.
The children's enthusiasm visibly increased, and the true meaning of the holiday was revealed.
This happiness lasted until Yue Songming brought his child to apologize. Everything happened so suddenly, just like the grand scale of his apology!
The entire bodyguard team consisted of burly men dressed in white vests and floral shorts, carrying or shouldering a large pile of exquisitely wrapped gifts.
There were local delicacies and specialties, as well as antiques and artworks. There were even ten boxes full of jewelry, all of which were the latest trendy styles.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there to propose marriage.
Li Tingxi, his face dark, was about to kick them out, "Get out! You're not welcome here."
"What? Mr. Li wants to fight me?" Le Songming looked around. "The one who's the best fighter around you isn't discharged from the hospital yet, is he? Even if all the rest of you come at me together, you can't hurt a single finger of mine."
“If you’re going to use knives or guns, I won’t fight back. But my bodyguards might not be so forgiving.” Le Songming pointed to his head. “You know, bodyguards are generally not very bright. I don’t know what they might do when their employer’s life is threatened.”
"You're threatening me?" Li Tingxi sneered and suddenly ordered the butler, "Call the police! Someone has broken into our home and is maliciously threatening the safety of my family. The security cameras have captured what they just said. The evidence is irrefutable."
After saying that, he picked up the child and was about to go upstairs, completely ignoring the arrogant Le Songming, and remained remarkably calm.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly become so intelligent?" Le Songming keenly noticed that Li Tingxi seemed much calmer and more resourceful this time, and his emotions were more stable and composed than before.
I feel like I've been completely transformed.
Seeing that Li Tingxi didn't stop walking and wasn't buying his words at all, Le Songming helplessly spread his hands, "President Li, don't be so cold-blooded and heartless, I have no ill intentions."
He had the gifts put down, then sat on the sofa as if they were old friends, picked up an apple and was about to take a bite, saying, "After all, my family heirloom is still on your child's mother's finger. If I don't come to visit often, how can I guarantee the safety of the ring?"
Le Qing couldn't even bear to look at her biological father; he was simply too unreliable.
Embarrassing.
cheeky.
Li Tingxi paused, his brow furrowed in displeasure: Does this mean that if the ring can't be taken off in a day, this person will shamelessly keep sticking to him and acting like a jerk?
“Name your price,” Li Tingxi suddenly said. “How much? I’ll buy that ring.”
Before Yue Songming could speak, Yue Qing refused, "No, that's a magic tool for men of our Yue Zheng family to find wives, it can't be sold."
“Listen to me, it’s not that I don’t want to sell it, it’s just that the family rules don’t allow it,” Le Songming said helplessly. “I’m even afraid that if I sell the ring, the ancestors will crawl out of the ground and come looking for me.”
At this moment, Yangyang suddenly sneered condescendingly, "A healthy person who is neither disabled nor terminally ill actually needs a ring to find a wife. No wonder one of you is without a wife and the other has no mother to love you..."
"What did you say?" This time, the father and son were united in their hatred, wishing they could shut the boy's mouth shut; he was just too irritating.
Li Tingxi gave Yangyang a thumbs up, "My son really gets straight to the point."
Yueyue and Xingxing gave their brother a thumbs-up, saying, "Brother is the best!"

"Yangyang, guests are guests, you can't be so rude." At this moment, Su Youling came out of the study and walked to Li Tingxi's side, saying, "Alright, soldier! Take the children back to rest. They've been running around all day, if they don't get some sleep, they won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Li Tingxi frowned: "You're going to entertain them all by yourself?"
"They're not monsters, they're not going to eat me, are they?" Su Youling shrugged. "If this person really wants to make a move, would you rather feed yourself to his fists or feed him to his bullets?"
"I--"
“We’re on a family trip, Mr. Li, you should set a good example for the kids.” Su Youling kissed him on the ear. “Go ahead! His son is all grown up, he can’t really be interested in me. I’ll go see what he’s up to.”
Li Tingxi was taken aback... Su Su seemed to have become much gentler, and no longer got angry with him so easily!
The more this happened, the less he could refuse.
After thinking for a while, he turned his head and gave Le Songming a warning look, then wrapped his arms around Su Youling's waist and gave her a passionate kiss, full of defiance.
Le Qing puffed out her cheeks in anger: "That's a woman from our Le Zheng family."
Le Songming didn't care. He pulled his raging son back, saying, "Even if she is, she's not your woman. Little one, behave yourself."
Le Qing was furious and glared fiercely at her useless father.
Xingxing suddenly ran down: "Hey, do you dare to have another match with me? We kids don't get involved in adult matters. You should focus on the war between us men."
Le Qing was about to refuse.
Who wants to compete with a martial arts madman like him?
He has important business to attend to.
Yueyue immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I want to see it too!"
"..." Yue Qing immediately straightened her back. "Fine, let's compete. Don't cry if you lose!"
"I won't."
Le Qing's gaze shifted, "If I win, I'll be staying here for the next couple of days."
Before Yangyang could refuse, Xingxing confidently agreed: "No problem, you definitely can't win anyway. I've practiced many times."
Several children went to the competition venue noisily.
Li Tingxi originally wanted to stay and intimidate Le Songming, but Su Youling sent him away to take care of Yangyang—the child was tired after a long day and needed to take his medicine and go to sleep; he couldn't go out and have fun with Xingxing and the others.
...
There were only two people left in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Su Youling, on the other hand, seemed quite content, and poured herself a cup of tea, handing it to him: "Mr. Le, are you really unable to take this ring off?"
“If I had a way, why would I resort to violence?” Yue Songming took a sip of tea and said sincerely, “This ring has a spirit. Although it cannot be explained by science, it is a fact.”
Su Youling still didn't believe it: "Has no one ever managed to take it off after wearing it?"
"..." Yue Songming paused, as if recalling some complicated experiences, and his expression turned strange.
Seeing this, Su Youling felt a glimmer of hope: "Really? What's the method? I can try it."
This ring is like a time bomb; it drives Li Tingxi crazy every time he sees it, especially in bed…
Li Tingxi finally agreed to treatment, and she wanted to eliminate all the factors that shouldn't be affecting her.
