Chapter 515 Long Time No See
After visiting the seafood market, the two went to the supermarket, and by the time they finished shopping, it was almost dusk.
Su Youling looked out the car window at the sunset on the horizon and felt a sense of comfort for the first time since she had been abroad.
Seeing this, Li Tingxi silently opened the music player on the central control screen.
The gentle classical music seemed to slow down time. Su Youling had a sudden thought and resisted the urge to turn around and look at Li Tingxi. She leaned against the car window and stared at Li Tingxi's profile reflected in it, lost in thought for a moment.
If time could be turned back to when she and Li Tingxi had just reconciled, and all the conflicts and mutual torment had not happened, how happy would she feel now?
...
After agreeing to treat Yangyang, Professor Richard immediately had Li Tingxi and Su Youling send him Yangyang's previous diagnostic reports.
The very next day, he replied to Li Tingxi and Su Youling: “The condition is not particularly difficult, but because the child is so young, and because he has not stopped treatment over the years and has developed some resistance to the medication, even though I have handled several similar cases before, I have to be cautious.”
Out of professional ethics to be responsible for patients, he suggested that Yangyang stay with him first, so that he could observe the patient closely and finalize his treatment plan as soon as possible.
Li Tingxi and Su Youling naturally had no objections, so with Professor Richard's consent, they moved into his villa on a remote island with their three children.
Professor Richard is a quiet man, and his three children are not only well-behaved but also exceptionally sensible and adorable. Now that he has reached the age of enjoying his grandchildren, even though he is usually stern, he can't help but become kind in front of his three children.
Xingxing and Yueyue knew he was the doctor treating Yangyang, so they tried their best to please him, calling him "Grandpa" all day long, which made Professor Richard very happy.
To ease Professor Richard's burden, Li Tingxi had the expert team he brought from China at his beck and call.
Professor Richard, who had initially been critical of him, had his opinions diminished considerably after his actions. In addition, the expert team members were all highly skilled, and after several discussions, everyone pooled their wisdom and drew on the best practices from similar cases both domestically and internationally. As a result, Yangyang's treatment plan gradually began to take shape.
After Yangyang completed the allergy test that day, it was confirmed that there was no rejection reaction, which meant that there was another possibility for treating Yangyang's illness with medication, and everyone was very happy.
Su Youling made the unprecedented decision to cook herself, partly to reward Li Tingxi for taking care of the children these past few days.
After making breakfast for the children for a while, Li Tingxi had gained some experience and quickly assisted her.
Seeing the natural understanding and warmth between the two, the maid, Afang, who had originally wanted to help, wisely stepped back with a smile to make room for them.
Ah Fang went upstairs to tidy up Professor Richard's room and couldn't help but feel happy for him, saying that the house suddenly felt more human.
Professor Richard paused for a moment, and a sense of melancholy arose in his heart as he thought of his ex-wife and daughter.
How long has it been since his daughter last visited him?
Professor Richard couldn't help but show a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
Just then, as if heaven had heard his heart's desire, a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar came from downstairs: "Dad, I've come to see you!"
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
"
For a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating. Only after being reminded by Afang did he excitedly rush out, nearly falling because he was in such a hurry that he stumbled.
He waved to Afang, who had helped him steady, and looked up at his daughter who was standing downstairs looking up at him, his eyes welling up with tears.
Seeing this, Ye Qing quickly went up the stairs, took his arm, and said with a smile, "I'm relieved to see that you're still so energetic."
Professor Richard glared at her, annoyed. "You heartless girl, you actually come to see this old geezer?"
There was little reproach in her tone; every word revealed her concern for her daughter.
"You're just like your mother, obsessed with money. You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you. You've been too busy working to eat properly, haven't you? I've told you so many times, you can never earn enough money..."
Ye Qing was tired of hearing these words, but because she had something on her mind, she didn't show any impatience and just responded casually.
Professor Richard noticed her perfunctory attitude and felt a pang of discomfort. He sighed almost imperceptibly and changed the subject: "You've come at just the right time. The house is quite lively lately, and I'd like to introduce you to two young people around your age."
Ye Qing's eyes flickered slightly, revealing an interested expression. "Dad, you stay in this villa all day, yet you still manage to meet young people."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Li Tingxi and Su Youling, who had heard the commotion and learned that Professor Richard's daughter had come to visit, came out carrying dishes one after the other.
The moment Li Tingxi saw Ye Qing's face clearly, he narrowed his eyes. He never expected that Professor Richard's daughter was someone he knew.
"President Ye." He suppressed his surprise and mixed feelings, and nodded slightly to Ye Qing.
Compared to his composure, Ye Qing seemed pleasantly surprised, and the smile in her eyes instantly softened the sharp look of his smart suit and heavy makeup. "Long time no see, President Li."
As she spoke, she walked directly up to Li Tingxi, extended one hand, and as she tilted her head slightly, her soft, curly hair exuded a touch of allure.
Su Youling pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
Professor Richard had already voiced her question: "You two know each other?"
“We’re all in the same circle, and we’ve dealt with each other a few times in business,” Li Tingxi explained casually. He didn’t shake hands with Ye Qing, but instead raised the still steaming soup bowl in his hand and went straight to the dining room.
A fleeting moment of embarrassment crossed Ye Qing's face, which vanished as she smiled again, her eyes following Li Tingxi's figure. She playfully scolded him, "Li Tingxi, how long have we known each other? How come you say we've only interacted a few times?"
Su Youling was right behind Li Tingxi, but she was completely ignored by him.
A strong sixth sense told her that President Ye's feelings for Li Tingxi were definitely not simple.
After putting down the soup bowl, Li Tingxi turned around and saw Su Youling moving slowly as if she was lost in thought. He frowned slightly, took the plate from her hand and put it down. Sure enough, he saw that her palms were red. He was immediately a little angry: "What are you daydreaming about? Your hands are all red from being burned. Don't you feel anything?"
Su Youling snapped out of her daze and saw the undisguised worry in his eyes. The discomfort she felt because of Ye Qing was also suppressed.
Ye Qing's smile froze as she watched Li Tingxi's natural concern for Su Youling.
