Chapter 153 Possessiveness at Work
Shen Xiyue remained silent for a long time, as if she finally understood what he meant. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
After a long while, she seemed to find her voice again, and the smile on her lips was very forced. "Tingxi, Su Youling and I are twin sisters who are connected by blood. I have wronged her all these years. Now that you have fallen in love with her, then it's perfect that everyone is happy."
Li Tingxi was stunned.
Do you like it?
Does Shen Xiyue think that his behavior towards Su Youling means he likes her?
Although he had thought about it, Li Tingxi always felt that something was missing. He didn't understand what it should feel like to like someone.
Was he like that when he was with Shen Xiyue?
At that time, he was just following the steps of how others dated to advance a relationship, like managing a difficult project. He put his heart and soul into it, but in the end, he still failed.
He doesn't know how to truly like someone anymore...
However, Li Tingxi did not refute Shen Xiyue's words, but simply comforted her and told her to take good care of herself before hanging up the phone.
The food will get cold if we wait any longer.
He has to go and wake up the little lazy pig for breakfast.
At this moment, Shen Xiyue suddenly said, "I will return to China as soon as I recover from my illness."
"You're going back to China?" Li Tingxi was taken aback, then frowned. "For your parents?"
He won't let that couple get away with it.
They're definitely going to jail!
Shen Xiyue sensed the murderous intent in his tone, pursed her lips, and avoided continuing the topic. Instead, she shifted the focus to Su Youling, saying, "More importantly, it's about the relationship between the three of us. Even if you and my sister have feelings for each other now, my sister can never have her own name. No woman can bear to spend the rest of her life with you while taking someone else's name."
"What do you want to do?" Li Tingxi frowned.

"Since the marriage was with Shen Xiyue, then let it end with me. If you want to be with my sister openly, you must divorce Shen Xiyue. So it's best if I face Shen Xiyue's past myself, otherwise all the pressure from public opinion will fall on my sister."
As Shen Xiyue spoke, she fell into a brief silence, then her tone changed to one of sorrow and guilt, "It is I and the Shen family who have wronged her. Even if we are overwhelmed by public opinion this time, I will protect her."
Li Tingxi did not immediately refute.
He didn't want to involve Shen Xiyue, but Li Qidong had a lot of influence outside. Even if he could successfully get Li Qidong involved this time, he wouldn't be able to completely eliminate the external threat.
The more he cared about Su Youling and the more he didn't want her to be hurt by public opinion, the more careful and thorough he had to be.
The victim in this matter was originally Su Youling. In fact, Shen Xiyue's solution was not bad, but he did not want Shen Xiyue to interfere between him and Su Youling.
That would make things more complicated.
“It was me and Su Youling who were the ones who got married in place of each other. Don’t come back and risk your life.” Li Tingxi interrupted her plan of repentance. “This has nothing to do with you. I will find a way to put you back in your rightful place.”
Shen Xiyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she unconsciously gripped the blanket tighter, her throat filling with a warm, choked sob, "Tingxi..."
He still cares about her, so he doesn't want her to take any risks.
The reason he spoke so coldly, and didn't even come to visit her after her surgery, was probably because, besides the dire situation, Li Tingxi still resented her betrayal back then.
What she did wrong
He should go back and make up for it himself.
"I understand, Tingxi." Shen Xiyue replied with a smile, her voice so soft it could melt your heart. Li Tingxi frowned uncomfortably, feeling that something was amiss.
At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Su Youling leaned against the cold wall, her muddled mind finally clearing up completely.
Don't come back and risk your life...
Everyone back to your places...
It turns out that everything Li Tingxi did in front of her was fake. Was he afraid that she would expose the body double in a fit of anger?
If you want her and Shen Xiyue to go their separate ways, then why bother trying to keep them together and pretending to be deeply in love?
fraud!
Scumbag!
Thinking of how the two of them had been so passionately entwined last night, Su Youling felt a violent, nauseous urge deep in her throat.
Not wanting to look at Li Tingxi again, she turned around, went back to her room, found her bag, took out the medicine, and quickly swallowed it, barely suppressing the nausea and vomiting.
Fortunately...
She remained rational and did not succumb to Li Tingxi's various ambiguous behaviors, which is why her pain is not so profound now.
She still felt a little sad, after all, she had once been delusional.
During the moments when Li Tingxi was almost jealous and went crazy because of her.
Looking back now, it was probably just a man's possessiveness at play.
In a moment of distraction, the medicine spilled all over the floor.
Su Youling became inexplicably irritable, kicked the bed hard, and bent over in pain, her eyes reddening.
What is she doing?
Why has Li Tingxi become so emotionally unstable?
It's absolutely not worth it!

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
"Su Su..." Li Tingxi's expression changed when he saw Su Youling clutching her foot in pain. He quickly bent down to pick her up. "What happened? Where did you hurt yourself?"
"Don't touch me!" Su Youling suddenly reacted strongly, pushing the person away and backing away in disgust, but accidentally sat down on the bed.
The moment she touched the bed, she was reminded of the traces of their lovemaking here the night before, and a deep sense of embarrassment welled up in her eyes.
She disgustedly threw off the blanket, turned around, grabbed her bag, and walked out, forgetting to pick up her medicine.
"Su Su!" Li Tingxi chased after her, confused. He thought she was angry about what happened last night, and grabbed Su Youling's arm with some displeasure. "What are you angry about? Last night you were drugged with a strong drug and wouldn't leave me alone. I didn't have time to take you to the hospital..."
Su Youling turned around abruptly, glaring at him fiercely. "Stop talking! It was me who shamelessly seduced you, okay? How much more do you want to humiliate me to make you happy?"
Li Tingxi was stunned.
I never expected Su Youling to react so strongly!
She was so well-behaved and obedient last night when we were giving her Chinese medicine, clinging to him the whole time!
She calls the lovemaking between two people an insult?
Li Tingxi's face suddenly turned ashen. He grabbed Su Youling's hand and slammed it against the wall. The anger he had been suppressing burned with a terrifying flame in his eyes. "Su Youling, we are husband and wife. Doing these things is our duty and it's normal. Are you now trying to take advantage of us and then deny everything?"
Upon closer listening, one could detect a subtle hint of grievance and embarrassment in his voice, in addition to indignation and shame.
Su Youling betrayed him in this matter, making him look like a rapist, turning all his love and joy into a joke!
Is Su Youling really that unwilling to let me touch her?
