Chapter 492 Yueyue Doesn't Want to Like Him Anymore
Yueyue tugged at Xingxing's sleeve, pouted, and said in a weak voice, "Xingxing, did you hear that? These nurses said that Dad used to bully Mom a lot, and that Mom only married her because she looks like someone else."
The little guy was visibly upset; his face was all scrunched up.
Xingxing wasn't feeling any better than her, and at this moment she couldn't say anything to comfort her.
He thought more than Yueyue did. No wonder Su Youling said her father was gone when they asked about him; it turned out that her father had done so many hurtful things to her.
He felt more anger than sadness.
"Yueyue, have you noticed that Mom has lost a lot of weight recently? She's not happy at all."
Hearing Xingxing's words, Yueyue suddenly realized and said angrily, "It must be Daddy, no, it must be the bad uncle who bullied her! Daddy is bad, he bullied Mommy, Yueyue doesn't want to like him anymore!"
The little girl was so angry that she couldn't speak coherently. Xingxing patted her head and joined her in the fight, saying, "No one, no matter who it is, can bully our mother."
...
Just as Li Tingxi and Su Youling were at an impasse, the door to the lounge suddenly opened from the outside.
Yueyue, like a little dumpling, rushed towards Su Youling, calling out, "Mommy!"
Su Youling gave Li Tingxi a subtle warning look, and Li Tingxi's eyes darkened. He had no choice but to let her go.
Yueyue rushed into Su Youling's arms, hugged her neck tightly, buried her face in her neck and shoulder and said sweetly, "Mommy, Yueyue missed you so much!"
Su Youling was both amused and exasperated: "Mom and Yueyue are together every day, why would you want to miss Mom?"
Yueyue snuggled into her arms like a little pig and said in a muffled voice, "Yueyue just misses her mom so much. She gets sad if she can't see her for even a second."
A touching and radiant smile bloomed on Su Youling's face. Undeniably, her daughter's sweet words had greatly pleased her.
"Yueyue is indeed her mother's sweet little darling. Let Mom give you a kiss."
Yueyue happily nuzzled her little face in, and the mother and daughter were inseparable.
Li Tingxi watched with envy and couldn't help but cough a few times to emphasize his presence.
Yueyue did look at him when he spoke, but unlike her usual enthusiasm and joy, the little girl was unusually cold. She didn't even call him "handsome uncle" anymore, and turned her head away from him without any emotion.
"?" Li Tingxi was full of question marks, wondering if he had offended her in some way and made her unhappy.
But he clearly didn't do anything!
Su Youling noticed Yueyue's unusual behavior and had some doubts, but she didn't dare to ask at the moment. Besides, she didn't think too much about it, since it's perfectly normal for children to have fluctuating emotions.
She did acknowledge Li Tingxi, but her tone was particularly sarcastic: "If your throat is sore, ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine. Don't keep coughing here. You might have some illness that you could pass on to the child."
As he spoke, he immediately picked up Yueyue and went outside.
"..." Li Tingxi watched the mother and daughter leave, his temples throbbing.
Seeing that Li Tingxi was not there, Su Youling asked Yueyue casually, "Baby, did Uncle Li upset you? Don't you usually like him?"
Yueyue leaned on her shoulder

He shook his head earnestly and confessed to her frantically, "I love Mom the most, the most, the most! Besides Mom, Grandma, my brother, Aunt Wenwen... I don't want to love anyone else!"
Goodness, after counting them all, she included Qin Yaoruo, but not Li Tingxi.
Su Youling couldn't help but feel a little smug. As expected, she was her own daughter whom she had raised herself. No matter how much Li Tingxi tried to please her, it was all in vain. No one could replace her in her daughter's heart.
Feeling much better, she assumed that Yueyue had noticed the subtle way Li Tingxi and she interacted, and that she had temporarily disliked Li Tingxi on her behalf.
That's normal. After all, no matter how much she and Li Tingxi tried to hide it, they couldn't help but reveal some clues. Children are naturally sensitive, so it's understandable that they noticed.
However, Su Youling soon realized that this dislike seemed to be more than just a fleeting whim.
Yueyue was genuinely avoiding Li Tingxi, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Tingxi had a nutritionist prepare nutritious meals for her every day, but the little girl had no appetite for them and kept asking to eat the meals Su Hong made herself.
Not only that, when Li Tingxi tried to ask Yueyue to teach him how to make pottery, just like before, she ruthlessly refused, and wouldn't even taste the desserts she bought for him.
Yueyue's thoughts were simple: Li Tingxi treated Su Youling badly, so she would hate Li Tingxi from now on.
The little girl deeply regretted being too enthusiastic towards Li Tingxi before, which had made Su Youling uncomfortable several times. That's why her current resistance and indifference towards Li Tingxi are even stronger.
Even if Li Tingxi initially told himself that Yueyue might be angry with him because she accidentally saw his bad attitude towards Su Youling, he could no longer fool himself. Yueyue was really trying her best to sever ties with him.
Not only that, the stars also showed indifference towards him.
He had finally managed to soften the children's attitude towards him, but now it seemed like he was back to square one, even more troublesome than he had imagined.
He was anxious and distressed, but he didn't know what to do and couldn't get angry at the children.
He could only find Su Youling and gave her a stern warning: "Su Youling, is this how you deal with me? Making the children distance themselves from me! Do you think this will make me back down?"
Su Youling was unfairly blamed, so her attitude was naturally not good.
She sneered, raised her chin, and looked at Li Tingxi defiantly. Although she was much shorter than him, her aura was just as imposing. "Li Tingxi, do you think I'm like you, imposing my own will on others? The children hate you and stay away from you. You should look for the reasons within yourself, instead of accusing me without even knowing the facts!"
Li Tingxi's brows furrowed, and seeing her composed expression, which didn't seem like she was lying, he began to waver again. "If it wasn't your doing, why did the children's attitude towards me change so suddenly? Besides you, who else could influence them?"
Su Youling couldn't help but roll her eyes and said disdainfully, "Li Tingxi, I wasn't born knowing how to be a mother. I spent five years and I'm not even perfect. How long have you been with the children? Do you really think you can completely eliminate their estrangement from you with a few favors and sweet words? If you really want to be a qualified father, you should at least learn to find the problem yourself."
Seeing Li Tingxi's thoughtful expression, she sighed inwardly and continued, "I never intended to stop you from contacting the children, and you know that better than anyone."
