Chapter 466 Verification
Su Youling leaned against the wall of the hospital corridor, rubbing her temples with a headache. The dual torment of body and mind made her breathing heavy.
Yangyang's condition this time was more serious than anyone had expected.
Last night, we had managed to get everyone to sleep, but unexpectedly, Yangyang developed a fever again in the middle of the night. Physical cooling methods and medication were ineffective, so the family rushed him to the hospital. After examination, they discovered that he had developed pneumonia.
Even Yangyang, who is usually calm and composed, couldn't help but cry out in pain, and Su Youling also shed tears all night long.
It wasn't until around 5 a.m. that Yangyang's condition was finally brought under control, and he was finally able to fall asleep.
Su Youling, who hadn't slept all night, was still wide awake. Listening to Wen Xi's curses at Li Tingxi, she felt increasingly distressed.
She knew perfectly well that Wenxi's words as an observer were quite pertinent.
Whether it was five years ago or five years after returning to China, Wenxi had reminded herself of these words countless times.
However, matters of the heart are like drinking water; only the person experiencing it knows whether it's hot or cold. If she could truly be so carefree, she wouldn't have been entangled with Li Tingxi for so long.
Seeing Su Youling's gloomy expression, Wen Xi felt even worse.
She couldn't help but cup Su Youling's face in her hands and rub it vigorously a few times, saying with exasperation, "You're not like the Su Youling I know at all. You're just a stinky man. Instead of suffering for him, let him and that venomous woman Shen Xiyue get together and live their lives, let them torture each other."
Su Youling's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and her expression immediately turned cold as she retorted unwillingly, "Why should I hand it over? Who does Shen Xiyue think she is?"
She had finally mustered the mental strength to accept Li Tingxi again and was determined to work hard with him to build a future. How could she possibly give up so easily?
She was simply disappointed by Li Tingxi's attitude. Even though she felt guilty, his actions in protecting Shen Xiyue had indeed hurt her.
In the past four years, Shen Xiyue has only changed her identity, yet she still manages to have a place by his side, which makes her resentful.
Wen Xi was quite annoyed by Su Youling's stubbornness. She couldn't help but pinch her cheek and complained in a high-pitched voice, "Fine, I guess I was just being nosy. You're just asking for trouble. I'll see what happens to you later."
“I know you’re doing this for my own good,” Su Youling grabbed her hand and shook it, her expression somewhat bitter. “Don’t worry, I’ve suffered enough with Li Tingxi. If he’s still indecisive in the end… I won’t hold any more hope.”
Wen Xi sighed softly, about to say something to comfort her.
Lu Mingxuan suddenly appeared at this moment, looking hurried as if he had come specifically to find him.
Su Youling gave Wen Xi a look, and the two stopped talking and didn't continue.
Lu Mingxuan looked worried. "Rebecca, I heard Yangyang is hospitalized. How is he? Should I contact a reputable doctor to help transfer him to another hospital?"
Seeing how much he cared, Wenxi, taking advantage of his unseen angle, frantically winked at Su Youling, clearly implying to her: Isn't this excellent backup option being delivered to your door?
Su Youling rolled her eyes at her, but she knew exactly what was going on.
Lu Mingxuan doesn't actually like her; he's clearly interested in Rebecca as a person.

Tao Di declined Lu Mingxuan's offer: "It's not that serious, and you don't need to trouble yourself. The doctor said that Yangyang will recover in about one or two weeks in the hospital."
Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Youling with a hesitant expression.
Su Youling guessed that he had something to ask her. She glanced at the time and realized it was almost lunchtime, so she asked Wen Xi to prepare lunch for Su Hong and the children while she took Lu Mingxuan to a restaurant near the hospital.
The two ordered some food casually, and Su Youling went straight to the point and asked him what he wanted to see her about.
Lu Mingxuan looked at her with a complex expression, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny as he tried to compare her with another figure in his mind.
Years ago, he went abroad to attend a famous art exhibition. There, he saw one of Rebecca's paintings being exhibited for the first time and fell in love with it at first sight. He then stood in front of the painting for a long time, unable to move away.
During his last trip abroad, he happened to see that painting again at an art exhibition.
Just as he was lost in thought, a man wearing a gray knitted hat suddenly stopped beside him and asked for his opinion on the painting.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out his thoughts, which unexpectedly made the man laugh and cry at the same time.
He said he saw a clear, pure soul yearning for beauty in the painting, and then he lavished praise on Rebecca, calling her the embodiment of the goddess of beauty and wisdom.
Lu Mingxuan still clearly remembers how the man refuted him at the time, "How do you know that Rebecca is beautiful and intelligent? People always yearn for what they don't have, and artists are even more so. They tend to construct an ideal world. Maybe Rebecca is actually a pitiful person tormented by illness?"
Lu Mingxuan was startled and realized that even though the person was deliberately lowering their voice, it was still so soft that it didn't sound like a man's. Upon closer inspection, he saw a pale, delicate face under the gray knitted hat, with features that were both delicate and well-defined.
It really was a woman!
Even men's clothing of a certain size couldn't hide her slender figure, making her look quite frail.
Most importantly, he saw in her eyes the romance and melancholy he had been searching for!
Recalling her words just now, Lu Mingxuan's heart nearly leaped out of his throat, and he blurted out, almost without thinking, "You are... Rebecca?"
The woman panicked for a moment, pulling her beanie down to half-cover her face and saying, "You've mistaken me for someone else."
After that, they fled in panic.
When Lu Mingxuan chased after him, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
No matter how much he inquired with the art exhibition organizers, he couldn't get any useful information. The woman's face was always imprinted in his mind. He even stayed abroad for a long time to look for that woman, but unfortunately, he found nothing. That's why he was in such a hurry to return to China to verify it.
Looking at Su Youling directly in front of him now, the sense of separation in his heart became even stronger.
With a tentative mindset, Lu Mingxuan casually mentioned to Su Youling, "I went abroad to attend an art exhibition a while ago and happened to see one of your paintings. The exhibition organizers told me it was one of your recent works."
He paused deliberately, and seeing Su Youling's calm expression, his eyes became meaningful. "Rebecca, I really like this piece, but the organizer told me it's not for sale, so I came here specifically to ask you if you could sell it to me, even if it's a bit expensive."
