Chapter 353 Wishful Thinking
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." Annie handed over a document. "It's from headquarters and needs your signature immediately."
Su Youling took it, glanced at it, and signed it neatly. "Ask whatever you want. Don't keep it bottled up."
"Boss," Annie scratched her head sheepishly, "you and President Li really..."
"Ex-husband," Su Youling handed her the documents, saying casually, "I'm getting to know him again, nothing to be surprised about."
She patted Annie on the shoulder, "The trending topics have all been taken down, so stop gossiping, understand?"
"Don't worry, boss, I'll keep it a secret and tell everyone not to talk about it." Annie nodded blankly, until Su Youling had walked quite a distance before she suddenly realized, "Ex-husband?"
Although she had just returned to the country with her boss, she had already heard a lot of gossip about Li Tingxi, a bigwig in the business world, in a short period of time.
Wasn't Li Tingxi's ex-wife dead?
How did Rebecca become an ex-wife?
How many ex-wives does a scumbag have?
...
When Su Youling arrived at the ward, she ran into the nurses making rounds again, and inevitably received another long lecture, which made the carefree Li Tingxi watch the show for a long time.
After finally seeing off the nurse who resembled a neighborhood committee member, Su Youling walked over and playfully punched Li Tingxi, saying, "Have you laughed enough?"
Li Tingxi grabbed her small hand, pulled it close, and kissed it. "I missed you."
That's so cheesy.
Su Youling abruptly pulled her hand away. "You're too old for that. Don't be so greasy. Only teenage girls fall for that. I'm immune to it now."
Li Tingxi's eyes darkened. "Immune?"
He suddenly grabbed Su Youling's arm and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to seal her lips with a passionate, whirlwind kiss.
In her excitement, she almost zipped the skirt all the way down.
"The patient needs to go for a check-up..." The nurse happened to push the door open and come in.

Seeing this unexpected turn of events, her round face flushed red with embarrassment, and she quickly covered her eyes and closed the door.
"Li Tingxi, are you out of your mind?" Su Youling shoved Li Tingxi away, glared at him fiercely, and her ears turned as red as boiled shrimp.
"This is a hospital, have you no shame?"
"With my wife in my arms, what do I need to be ashamed of?" Li Tingxi smiled contentedly, his face full of shameless pride. "A person who cares about his reputation is destined to be single for life. I don't want to be a lonely bachelor for the next few decades."
"Who's your wife? It's not even close to being a relationship yet, you shameless person!" Su Youling spat, her lips burning slightly as she touched them.
How can this guy be considered family?
It's like a dog gnawing on a bone.
Has he never kissed a woman in his eight lifetimes?
Just then, the nurse outside thought for a moment and realized something was wrong, so she quickly knocked on the door. "Family member, the patient has a concussion. It's not certain that he's completely out of danger yet. You can't get too emotional right now."
This blatant implication reignited Su Youling's embarrassment and anger. Looking at Li Tingxi, who was laughing carefree, she felt a surge of malice and grabbed his face, giving it a good squeeze. "Suddenly, I think it wouldn't be so bad if you became an idiot."
At least it's easy to handle.
Li Tingxi stared at her messy, unkempt hair and looked at her innocently. "You're not angry anymore?"
"Get out." Su Youling glared at him, straightened her clothes, and went to open the door, pretending to be calm. "He's mentally ill. Please give him a thorough check-up."
"Are you all in such a hurry? This is a hospital, don't you have any sense of public space?" the nurse muttered, blushing.
He made two noises, and upon entering and seeing Li Tingxi's messy hair, his face immediately darkened.
"Family member, what did you do? Didn't I say concussion! Concussion! You have to protect his head! How could you... rip him like this?"
Su Youling was speechless for a moment. "Nurse, you can't let him be so handsome that you're biased towards Mars, can you? My hair was on his head, why does it have to be me who pulled it? Couldn't it be that he just had a bad habit of touching me?"
The nurse said, "...Who would be so bored?"
Su Youling glared threateningly at Li Tingxi.
"Ahem." Li Tingxi clenched his fist to his lips apologetically, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Sorry, I just felt an itch on my scalp and scratched it casually. Nurse, you've misunderstood my wife."
Mrs?
They're really giving themselves a hard time.
Su Youling rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to struggle.
The round-faced nurse looked left and right, scratched her head sheepishly, and said with a hint of doubt, "That was just my assumption, I'm sorry, family member. But..."
She said enviously, "Your husband is handsome and so gentle and considerate to you. It's obvious that he loves you to the core. You can't find such a rare good man these days. You should cherish him."
Li Tingxi nodded in agreement.
"Young lady, people's hearts are treacherous, and the road ahead is long and arduous. You still have a lot to learn." Su Youling patted the nurse's shoulder earnestly. "Don't be fooled by the appearance of some people; they're all just bubbles."
The nurse was speechless.
They are blessed but don't know it.
This woman doesn't know how to cherish what she has.
With that handsome face, who's lying to whom?
After the nurse left, the two were finally able to calm down and have a meal. Afterwards, they went downstairs to digest their food, and before they knew it, Li Tingxi had pinned them against the wall and kissed them passionately.
Su Youling
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
I've gotten angry a few times, so I'm immune to it now.
Lie down and enjoy yourself, without fear.
At least Li Tingxi truly understood her body and sensitive spots to the extreme, and she was equally receptive to harmless teasing.
This time, it was Li Tingxi's phone call that interrupted their intimacy.
Qin He called.
Li Tingxi didn't try to avoid her, but Su Youling wisely turned and walked away.
After all, we are competitors now, not like when we were fighting side by side. We should avoid suspicion as much as possible.
"What's wrong?" As Li Tingxi was about to take charge of the Yitao branch in City C, the headquarters began to stir restlessly.
In the past few days, he sent Qin He back to headquarters and arranged a series of small actions, which can be regarded as making an example of him and also to keep those who should not have ambitions in check.
“President Li, a few junior directors couldn’t withstand the turmoil and spoke the truth,” Qin He said. “It is true that the old man secretly won people’s hearts, and wanted to achieve a situation where he could compete with you again by distributing shares and persuading a few major shareholders who hold shares.”
In recent years, the Li family's rise to its peak has all been thanks to Li Tingxi.
His shares give him absolute control over the Li family's decision-making.
Although Old Master Li was forced to relinquish power under the pretext of recuperating from illness, he actually did a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, always thinking about regaining control of his overly powerful son.
This time, the action was particularly significant.
"Wishful thinking." Li Tingxi sneered. "Since the old man values those sensible people so much, then let's organize the information we've collected and send it to the Supervisory Bureau. Let's invite those directors over for tea and have them honestly vacate the positions they should."
Qin He's spirits lifted. "Yes."
It seems the boss is about to cut off the old man's last remaining ties.
This major move is bound to stir up quite a storm.
