Chapter 98 As Long As You Be Good

Li Tingxi glanced into the room. Su Youling was still fast asleep, her brow furrowed with unease. She groped with one arm, searching for something on the other side, until she hugged her pillow tightly before falling asleep again.

He had never realized before that Su Youling was so insecure; she even needed to hug someone to feel at ease while sleeping.

After the two of them had been intimate, he was always indifferent and impatient. For the first two years, he would make Su Youling sleep in the guest room after they finished, and would not let her stay overnight in the master bedroom.

At that time, she was always docile and obedient, coming and going as she was told, whether it was early morning or midnight, no matter how tired or uncomfortable she was, she always put his orders first.

Li Tingxi clenched his fists and said coldly, "I'm not a doctor, what could I do if I went! With you and Professor Jin here, I'm very relieved."

“She’s your ex-lover, and you’re just being too easygoing,” Li Mufeng said with dissatisfaction. “Chen Xiyue is probably not going to die this time. How long are you going to keep entangled between these two sisters? Li Tingxi, you weren’t this scumbag before.”

Li Tingxi, unable to bear it any longer, shouted, "Li Mufeng, the project investment for the next quarter is gone!"

Li Mufeng: "..."

After graduation, he insisted on not taking over the family business and went out to work on his own. So, in order to make him give in, his family did not give him any support in his career. From the time he started doing research, he only had Li Tingxi as his client!

"Li Tingxi, tell me honestly, you're so angry and embarrassed, did you not even manage to coax Su Youling back? You didn't force her, did you!" Li Mufeng didn't hear the rebuttal from the other side, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock. "No way, no way? The wise and sagacious President Li would actually do something as despicable as forcing a woman?"

Li Tingxi clenched his fist, slammed down the phone, and immediately froze Li Mufeng's project investment account. The pent-up anger in his chest still wouldn't dissipate.

Was tonight considered coercion?

Su Youling was naturally unwilling!

She has always yielded to him for the sake of others. First it was his mother, then his friends like Wei Ning and Lance, and now there's another eyesore, Shi Yan!

So many people have come and gone in her life, but they are all far more important than him!

From this perspective, it was indeed he who unilaterally forced Su Youling tonight, leaving her no choice but to submit to him...

Thinking of this, Li Tingxi's face turned extremely ugly, anger and embarrassment piled up in his eyes, and a hint of hurt was hidden deep in his pupils.

He was never short of outstanding and beautiful women, some even throwing themselves at him and trying every means to seduce him and get into his bed... But Li Tingxi was not a promiscuous person.

The terrible romantic experiences of the previous generation and the shameful past of being an illegitimate child made Li Tingxi extremely disgusted with messy relationships between men and women.

So even though he and Su Youling had a contract marriage, he still stipulated that both parties must be loyal to the marriage. This was not only a constraint on Su Youling, but also on himself!

He saw Shen Xiyue's talent and temperament in Lin Lexi, and only brought her to the company to settle her in. His original intention was to wait until the contract ended, and he didn't mind keeping her by his side as the next substitute.

However, he never had any physical relationship with Lin Lexi that crossed the line, even though Lin Lexi had hinted at it more than once and even took the initiative to pounce on him.

But when did someone as proud as Li Tingxi fall to this level?

But when it comes to Su Youling, all his principles and bottom lines are always easily broken!

Li Tingxi threw the phone to

On the sofa, he silently watched Su Youling by the bed for a long time, then suddenly sighed, turned over and got into bed, carefully pulled the pillow out of her arms, and then hugged her tightly.

"Let's be loyal to each other and live happily together, just like before! I'll give you respect and love, as long as you behave well..."

Su Youling twitched her nose, as if she had caught a reassuring scent. She nestled obediently in Li Tingxi's arms, placing her hands on his waist. Only then did she feel safe and drift off to sleep.

Li Tingxi stared intently, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing.

...

When Su Youling woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. The curtains in the hotel room were not drawn, and only a sliver of warm sunlight shone through the gaps.

As soon as she got up, she felt like her whole body was falling apart. Although Li Tingxi had tried his best to restrain himself last night, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought. He had been holding back for so long that he inevitably lost his mind and tormented her until she was like a broken rag doll, completely numb.

Su moved her body slightly and found that although her body was covered with dense hickeys, she felt quite refreshed.

Li Tingxi actually cleaned her up.

In the past, he would leave as soon as he finished, never caring whether she lived or died. Many times, she was exhausted to the extreme, and Li Tingxi would send her back to the guest room, where she would numbly soak in the bathtub to relieve her fatigue.

Once, she was so tired that she almost drowned in the bathtub.

From then on, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she only dared to take a shower.

Su Youling didn't know whether to feel gratified or to force a smile; the belated concern made her feel awkward, whether she accepted it or not.

Especially since the two of them were fooling around too much last night, although her belly hasn't gotten much bigger yet.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

She reported that she was still worried about the child.

Su Youling struggled to get up, wrapped herself in the blanket, and called out a few times, but received no response from Li Tingxi.

He should have already opened two accounts.

Su Youling breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to look for her clothes, but she couldn't find them. There was only Li Tingxi's men's bathrobe hanging on the clothes rack.

She belatedly recalled the scene of the two fooling around in the car; her clothes had been ruined by Li Tingxi last night!

"..." Su Youling had no choice but to hastily put on a bathrobe. The length covered her ankles and the sleeves were too long, so she had to roll up the cuffs. She got up, poured a glass of warm water, took out two pills of her pregnancy-preserving medicine from her bag, and only then did her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, settle down a little.

She should go to the hospital for a check-up in the next couple of days; otherwise, she won't feel at ease about the child's safety.

Su Youling was about to call a delivery service to buy some clothes when she turned around and saw Li Tingxi standing silently behind her, watching her for who knows how long.

"!!" Su Youling was startled and subconsciously took two steps back, subtly hiding her small hand behind her back and pushing the bag containing the medicine further inside.

Although she had gastrointestinal medicine to cover it up, the timing was sensitive, and she was worried that Li Tingxi would become suspicious.

"Why didn't you say anything when you came in?"

"This is my room." Li Tingxi was dressed in silver-gray casual clothes, his hair was not specially styled and fell lazily over his forehead. He was carrying two bags in his hands. One bag contained a certain brand of women's clothing, and the other bag contained a thermal lunch box from a five-star hotel. It seemed that he had gone out to buy things for her.

Seeing Su Youling's tense expression, Li Tingxi put down his things and leaned down to press against her without making a sound. "Why are you so guilty? What bad thing have you done behind my back this time?"
