Chapter 504 Don't Go Too Far
Knowing that Su Youling hadn't contacted him for a long time, his first reaction was a little uneasy. He only realized what was happening a second later and got up to go outside to answer the phone.
After he left, Li Mufeng immediately winked at Xia Zhiying, "Zhiying, did your treatment work? I'm starting to have psychological trauma now, I'm afraid the two of them will start arguing again."
Xia Zhiying glanced at the aromatherapy burner and sighed, "The effects vary from person to person, and I can't guarantee it. Generally, one course of treatment will show significant results."
Li Mufeng also felt a headache upon hearing this. Today was only the first step. Getting Xia Zhiying to have long-term contact with Li Tingxi for treatment was not so simple.
While the two hesitated, Li Tingxi, who was outside the door, received Su Youling's invitation to meet, and his gloomy mood, which had arisen from self-reflection, was instantly swept away.
“Li Tingxi, I want to talk to you about our future, putting aside the children and just about you and me,” Su Youling’s voice was soft and gentle on the other end of the phone. “Of course, if you feel that there is no future between us, you don’t have to come to the appointment.”
Li Tingxi tightened his grip on the phone, panicked for a moment, and immediately agreed as if afraid she would change her mind: "Give me the address, I'll be there soon."
My throat felt tight when I opened my mouth.
Su Youling was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "Send me your location," and ended the call, which lasted just over a minute.
After hanging up the phone, Li Tingxi felt as if he were in a dream, his heart pounding wildly because of the reconciliation signal in Su Youling's words.
She said they still had a future, which meant that he was never just wishful thinking; there was definitely an optimal solution between them, if Su Youling and he shared the same idea.
Li Tingxi licked his dry lips, feeling a mix of joy and nervousness. He couldn't help but look down at his outfit and frowned.
His unchanging black suit was too serious and completely unsuitable for his upcoming date with Su Youling.
Fortunately, the location Su Youling sent wasn't too far from here, and she gave him plenty of time, so he could prepare before heading over.
Thinking of this, Li Tingxi immediately returned to the private room, told Li Mufeng and Xia Zhiying that he was going to leave first.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng and Xia Zhiying stood up together. "Perfect timing, we've finished eating. Since you have something to do later, let's reschedule for another day."
When the topic turned to something, he deliberately winked and made faces at Li Tingxi.
When Li Tingxi returned after answering Su Youling's call, he was noticeably in high spirits. His icy demeanor, which could freeze anyone at any moment, had melted away. He was truly happy, a stark contrast to the easygoing person he had initially pretended to be in front of him and Xia Zhiying.
Although it's unclear whether it was Xia Zhiying's essential oil therapy that worked or Su Youling's own efforts, overall, today was a fruitful day.
To his and Xia Zhiying's surprise, there was an unexpected bonus.
Li Tingxi paused when his gaze fell on the aromatherapy diffuser, then looked at Xia Zhiying earnestly and said, "This essential oil smells really nice, could you give it to me?"
Xia Zhiying quickly realized what was going on and nodded hurriedly: "Sure, if you're used to it, you can ask me for more if you run out. It's not difficult to make."
Li Mufeng chimed in, "Why don't you two exchange contact information first?"
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Xia Zhiying naturally added Li Tingxi's contact information, which gave her more confidence in treating his condition.
Li Mufeng and Xia Zhiying left first.
Li Tingxi had called someone to prepare some clothes and send them over while he was outside the door; he wasn't in a hurry to leave yet.
Knowing that Su Youling had been under a lot of pressure lately because of Yangyang's illness and the strange kingdom, and that Wu Qing was clearly showing signs of insomnia, he wanted to ask Xia Zhiying to make another essential oil for Su Youling, so he chased after her.
Li Mufeng and Xia Zhiying have already gone quite far.
Xia Zhiying felt uncomfortable with Li Mufeng's warm hand still wrapped around her waist, and awkwardly gave him a small push, saying, "You can let go now."
Li Mufeng lowered his eyes to admire her blushing and shy appearance, and said to her without changing his expression, "Don't you understand that you have to play the part completely? You have to get used to it slowly, otherwise it will all be for nothing if you are exposed in front of Li Tingxi next time."
Although that's what he said, seeing that Xia Zhiying was already a little angry, he didn't go too far and withdrew his hand from her waist with some regret.
Xia Zhiying quickly quickened her pace and jogged towards where the car was parked.
Li Mufeng clicked his tongue lightly, quite satisfied with today's progress. He didn't mind her deliberate avoidance and followed her with a smile in his eyes.
Li Tingxi, who had chased after them, saw their interaction and frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
Knowing that neither he nor Su Youling were at the hospital with the children, he couldn't help but call Qin He to inquire about the situation at the hospital.
Qin He said that Yangyang fell asleep after receiving his injection and medication today, and Xingxing and Yueyue are being taken care of by Su Hong and Wen Xi, and everything is normal.
Relieved, Li Tingxi discussed the essential oil with Xia Zhiying on WeChat after making the preparations. He changed his clothes and immediately went to meet Su Youling.
...
Meanwhile, at the hospital...
Rebecca arrived at the hospital shortly after Qin He hung up the phone.
Qin He didn't want to stop people, and he didn't know whether he should report to Li Tingxi.
He also knew that Li Tingxi harbored deep hostility towards this "Mr. Bei" and was worried that Li Tingxi would take his anger out on Su Youling, so he ultimately took it upon himself to keep it a secret.
However, he did not forget the important task that Li Tingxi had entrusted to him to take good care of the children, and he was ready to go with them without hesitation.
Wen Xi, following Su Youling's plan, came out to stop him, rolling her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Qin He, as Li Tingxi's lackey, you're really quite dedicated. Just what kind of pervert is Li Tingxi? He even specially left you behind to monitor a few children. Can't you guys be human?"
Qin He hadn't received a kind word from her lately, and now, after being bombarded with such sarcastic remarks, he could only smile bitterly: "Wen Xi, please understand me. I'm just following orders to ensure Yangyang and the others' safety."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xi sneered and, in a fit of anger, couldn't help but shove him: "Qin He, stop talking nonsense. You know perfectly well what Li Tingxi is up to. Don't play dumb with me. I'm warning you to watch your step. The kids call you 'uncle' because of me. Don't go too far and make me turn against you!"
Qin He was inwardly groaning and immediately begged in a low voice, "Grandma, what exactly do you want me to do?"
