Chapter 542 Matching Outfits for Parents and Children
Yueyue also looked longingly at Yangyang.
Faced with the eager gazes of his younger siblings, Yangyang simply couldn't refuse, and he genuinely didn't want to.
Professor Richard told him that his treatment plan had been finalized and that he would soon be undergoing closed treatment, during which time he would only be able to contact doctors and nurses.
He didn't know how long his illness would take to be treated. Grandpa Richard told him that the process would be very hard and painful, but he wasn't afraid of hardship or pain. What he was afraid of was not seeing his mother, younger brother and sister, and grandmother, and... Uncle Li.
Therefore, he also wanted to have time with his family before that, so that he could bravely fight against the disease while carrying this happy experience with him.
Yangyang's eyelashes trembled, but his expression remained calm, not letting Xingxing and Yueyue see the hint of fear deep inside him. "How about Uncle Li and Mom accompany us shopping later?"
Yueyue immediately snuggled up to him and hugged his arm, softly pleading, "Yangyang, you're the best!"
Xingxing hesitated for a moment: "Today? Mom and Uncle Li have been busy with work lately, what if they don't have time?"
Yueyue's face immediately fell when he said that.
“I’ll talk to Mom and Uncle Li about it. They won’t refuse me,” Yangyang pinched Yueyue’s cheek and coaxed her. “Even if they’re not free today, they’ll definitely be able to make time for us later.”
Yueyue's little face quickly brightened again.
Yangyang lived up to expectations. After he and Su Youling suggested to Li Tingxi that they wanted to go shopping together, they immediately agreed.
Li Tingxi was particularly proactive.
While Su Youling was getting the children dressed, he was busy packing a whole large diaper bag full of things.
Su Youling was stunned when she saw the diaper bag. "We're just going out shopping, do you really need to bring so much stuff?"
While she was still wondering, she had already opened the diaper bag and was looking through it. Inside, there were water bottles, sun hats, tissues and other items for the three babies, and even spare medicine for Yangyang in a hidden compartment.
The incomprehension and surprise on her face disappeared instantly, and she looked at Li Tingxi with a complex mix of emotions. "I didn't expect you to have such potential as a stay-at-home dad."
Although many of these things are actually unnecessary, Li Tingxi's thoughtfulness and consideration were already beyond her imagination.
Li Tingxi didn't try to take credit; on the contrary, he was very humble. "Having potential isn't enough. I still need your guidance to correct many of my shortcomings."
Su Youling couldn't help but recall the chaotic time when she was a new mother, and felt a little uncomfortable. In order to avoid stirring up more emotions, she quickly urged him to go upstairs to change his clothes.
When Li Tingxi came down, Xingxing immediately praised him for being handsome.
Yueyue stared at Li Tingxi for a while, then looked at herself, her two older brothers, and Su Youling. She excitedly scribbled on the ground a couple of times and muttered, "Look, look! We look like we're wearing matching outfits!"
Su Youling was deeply moved when she heard this.
Although they weren't matching outfits, it was indeed something Li Tingxi had painstakingly searched through his wardrobe to find for them.
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
The casual suit he wore made him look much softer and more approachable than his usual elite business style.
Su Youling's gaze met his unintentionally, and she immediately looked away uncomfortably, urging the little ones, "Alright, we can set off now."
Yueyue cheered: "Shog!"
Yueyue was overjoyed, which made the atmosphere in the car exceptionally high throughout the journey.
Su Youling and Li Tingxi felt the most relaxed they had been since they came abroad, looking at the smiles on the faces of their three children.
Shopping is not a part of Li Tingxi's life; in his view, it's a complete waste of time. Accompanying his child shopping is a novel experience for him.
However, he showed no impatience whatsoever; in fact, he browsed very attentively. Whenever a few children's eyes lingered on a particular item for even a second longer, he would immediately ask if they wanted to buy it.
All along the way, Su Youling heard the most about "buy, buy, buy". She was already carrying two bags in her hands. She was really afraid of Li Tingxi's sweeping shopping method, which was like wanting to buy the whole mall. She wanted to catch her breath for a while.
Just then, Xingxing wanted to go to the restroom, so she immediately asked Li Tingxi to accompany her.
She slowed down and continued strolling with Yueyue and Yangyang, waiting for the father and son to return.
Yueyue was enjoying her shopping when she spotted a Jellycat doll shop ahead, with the doll she had wanted for a long time displayed in the window.
"Mommy, I want that doll!" She happily pointed to it at Su Youling, jumping up and down excitedly.
Seeing how excited she was, Su Youling couldn't help but chuckle. Since she didn't have a free hand, she asked Yangyang to lead her to buy it.
Before the three of them could even get there, they bumped into Ye Qing at the escalator entrance, someone they hadn't seen since their unpleasant argument that day.
To be precise, Ye Qing wasn't alone; she was accompanied by a woman who was clearly very close to her, holding her hand and chatting and laughing.
Su Youling's smile faded. She didn't want to have any further interaction with Ye Qing and wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anything and leave with her two children.
When Ye Qing saw her, his expression immediately turned ugly.
She subconsciously glanced behind Su Youling to make sure she was out shopping alone with her child. Seeing that Su Youling clearly wanted to ignore her and leave, she immediately sneered, "Rebecca, although the last time was quite ugly, you don't have to be so guilty as to pretend you don't know me, do you?"
Ye Qing's best friend, Tian Xin, immediately understood. She glared at Su Youling with an unfriendly expression, but said to Ye Qing, "Did this woman do something wrong to offend you?"
Su Youling almost laughed when she heard this, so she turned around and looked coldly at Ye Qing, "President Ye, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How can someone who has done something wrong be so self-righteous? What makes you think I'm guilty?"
She finally understood why she felt uncomfortable with Ye Qing's behavior when they first met. How could she possibly like someone who was clearly full of malice towards her?
Whether it was because of Li Tingxi or the competition for the project, this woman had crossed her bottom line. As long as her child was involved, she would never tolerate it!
Ye Qing was momentarily stunned by Su Youling's imposing aura.
