Chapter 709 Honest Confession

"You know about this ring?" Su Youling suddenly thought of the woman Li Tingxi had mentioned before. Could it be that Mi Cheng is the person Le Songming is looking for?

Is she Yueqing's mother?

Su Youling couldn't help but take a closer look at Mi Cheng. The more she looked, the more she resembled her; there was indeed a resemblance between the mother and son in their features...

"How did this ring end up in your hands? Did Mr. Li give it to you?" Mi Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly shook her head, as the figure and species didn't match up.

The man was of mixed race and was much more muscular than Li Tingxi. His powerful muscles left a lasting impression.

"No, this ring was put on my hand by a little child, but I can't take it off." Su Youling asked tentatively, "I wonder if Dr. Mi has any way to fix it?"

Mi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Kid...maybe I made a mistake."

She carefully examined Su Youling's ring; it was exactly the same as her own. No wonder Li Tingxi gave her a bunch of strange diamonds and copper and iron trinkets to study—it was for this reason.

“I accidentally wore this kind of ring before, and I couldn’t take it off after I put it on. But I have an old friend whose family was in the jewelry business for a long time, which gave me some inspiration.”

"This ring can't be removed because the special material adheres to some people's skin, thus subtly altering the ring's size, making it impossible to remove. I soaked it in a medicinal solution for several days, and then..."

She paused, her expression slightly uneasy as she recalled the unexpected incident at the hotel that night. "Then one day I woke up and it just fell down by itself."

"So that's how it is." Su Youling thought of what Le Songming had said before, and looking at Mi Cheng's hesitant expression just now, it was probably true that the ring had fallen off by itself after the two of them had a passionate night. She just didn't know if it was the effect of the potion, the effect of the lovemaking, or both.

No matter what, we should give it a try.

"I wonder if it would be convenient for me to have a copy of the medicine. To be honest, this ring is too big and it's a burden on my hand. I want to take it off as soon as possible and return it to its rightful owner."

Mi Cheng was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly realized, "Do you know the owner of this ring? Male or female?"

Seeing her sudden urgency, Su Youling coughed and reminded her, "Dr. Mi, didn't I just say that the person who gave me the ring was a six or seven-year-old child?"

"Ah, right... I was confused for a moment, I'm so sorry." Mi Cheng hurriedly stood up. "I'll prepare the medicine. I'll go to the hospital now to get the materials ready, and I'll send it to you once it's ready. I just don't know if the method I used will work for Mrs. Li."

She had originally intended to offer a reminder, but considering that the two were a legitimate, young, and passionate couple, they would naturally engage in marital relations. She figured that there was no need for her to specifically remind them, as it would only make things more awkward.

"Mrs. Li, I'll go back and prepare right away."

Just as Mi Cheng was about to leave, Li Tingxi came downstairs and said calmly, "Dr. Mi, please wait. I noticed that Yangyang has a bit of a cold. I would like to ask that you stay at the Li Mansion for the next few days so that it will be convenient for you to take care of Yangyang."

Su Youling immediately became anxious: "Yangyang has caught a cold?"

“The temperature has dropped sharply these past few days, and Yangyang is in the recovery period, so it’s understandable,” Li Tingxi quickly reassured him. “It’s not serious. With Dr. Mi here, the child will be fine.”

Su Youling was anxious and quickly pulled Mi Cheng aside: "Then I'll leave it to Dr. Mi. I've prepared a guest room at the Li Mansion. Please stay for a few more days."

“But I still work at the hospital…” Mi Cheng

She hesitated, because taking leave casually would result in a deduction in pay, and recently the CEO had been assigning her a lot of inexplicable tasks.

“It’s alright, your new dean, Le Yixun, is a thing of the past. I’ve already asked him for leave, and he won’t deduct my salary as it’s due.” Li Tingxi said without changing his expression, “Le Yixun and my wife used to be colleagues, so asking for leave isn’t difficult.”

Su Youling's eyes flashed.

Le Yixun actually bought the hospital?

spendthrift!

Why would he spend so much money?

"I see." Mi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm relieved. Leave Yangyang to me. I'll go prepare the medicine first."

In this way, I don't have to do strange errands for the dean every day, and I can still get a high salary at the Li Mansion. It's the best of both worlds.

Su Youling personally escorted him to his guest room and returned to find Li Tingxi still looking resentful. She couldn't help but laugh, "Who upset you? Dr. Mi has a way to remove the ring, shouldn't you be happy?"

“I also attended the Yitao Culture press conference today.” Li Tingxi looked at the ring on her finger with a dark expression, clearly displeased.

Su Youling coughed lightly and changed the subject: "I'm hungry, let's eat something first."

"Don't try to change the subject." Li Tingxi said sternly with a sour face, "Those reporters are blind and extremely superficial. They can only see this flashy, shabby ring and have completely ignored our real engagement ring."

“They’re just outsiders who don’t know the ropes, why bother arguing with them?” Su Youling said helplessly. “Besides, today is the press conference for Yitao Culture, and I shouldn’t steal the spotlight. It would be redundant and unnecessary to explain the origin of the ring to those reporters.”

She grabbed Li Tingxi's arm, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. "Alright, stop acting here."

"I'm so resentful now. Once Dr. Mi helps me remove the ring, I'll immediately exchange it for the one you gave me and wear it out every day to show it off."

Li Tingxi reluctantly relaxed his expression, saying, "No need. This is just an engagement ring. It's not big enough or special enough. When we get married, I'll prepare a unique ring that will dazzle everyone. You can show it off then."

Su Youling: "..."

Oh well, let it be!

I don't know when Li Tingxi became so petty!

She glanced in the direction of the guest room and whispered, "Is Mi Cheng the person Le Songming is looking for?"

"Um."

"Did you persuade Yue Songming to return to China?" Su Youling knew what Li Tingxi was up to just by looking at his darting eyes. "You want to see those two brothers fight amongst themselves so you can reap the benefits?"

"Don't make me sound so self-serving. I just don't want Le Yixun to have an easy time. I simply don't like those two brothers." Li Tingxi said in a righteous tone. "Besides, don't you like Le Qing a lot? I'm helping him find his mother and reunite the family."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li is such a kind person." Su Youling was both amused and annoyed. "What about Tianyi? How is she?"

“Today, she took the initiative to go see Le Yixun,” Li Tingxi said with a dark face. “I wonder what the outcome will be.”

"You didn't go with them?" Su Youling asked, disbelieving.

“She won’t allow it.” Li Tingxi said unhappily, “I really don’t know what this girl is thinking. She actually argued with me for Le Yixun’s sake. She’s getting harder to manage as she gets older.”

"She wouldn't allow it, so you didn't do anything?" Su Youling glanced at him. "Tell me honestly, who did you send?"

“…” Li Tingxi coughed lightly, “Xingxing and Yueyue.”
