Chapter 610 Li Tingxi, You Haven't Changed at All
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
When Rebecca woke up, she saw Su Youling sitting by her bedside with red eyes. She didn't ask a single question, but simply reached out her hands and smiled weakly, "Long time no see, let me hug you."
A warm feeling welled up in Su Youling's heart. She leaned down and pulled the person into her arms, choking back tears as she said, "It's alright now."
She offered no apology, no comfort, and no recounting of the guilt, unease, setbacks, and struggles of the past few days… She explained everything in just three words.
Xia Zhiying is right—since they are good sisters, what Rebecca least wants is for her to become estranged from her because of guilt, self-blame, or other factors.
Standing at the door, Li Tingxi saw two women embracing intimately and felt extremely uncomfortable.
That heartless woman is always a million times more enthusiastic towards others than towards him!
If one day she could hug him so proactively, expressing affection and liking, he would do anything for her.
Just as he was feeling a pang of acid, Rebecca suddenly sat up and asked worriedly, "How is Lu Mingxuan? Is he back? Is he hurt?"
Su Youling gave Li Tingxi a wink.
Li Tingxi pretended not to see it and said with a sour face, "That kid was reckless and almost ruined our big plan. If it weren't for Su Su's sake, I wouldn't bother saving such a brainless person!"
"Li Tingxi!" Su Youling glared at him, then quickly turned back to comfort Rebecca, "Don't worry, it's alright! Lu Mingxuan only suffered minor injuries, but our people arrived in time to subdue Jack and his men. His injuries have been treated at the hospital, but he hasn't woken up yet."
“He’s still not awake…” Rebecca said anxiously, “That must be serious! Was he shot? How could he be asleep with only superficial wounds?”
Seeing her so anxious, Su Youling sighed and could only tell the truth, "He was shot in the abdomen to attract the pursuers' attention..."
"What!" Rebecca threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed. "No, I have to go see him."
As soon as I got out of bed, I collapsed to the floor.
Her health was too poor; she was completely unable to support herself to walk independently.
Su Youling quickly supported her and whispered, "Don't worry, Lu Mingxuan is very skilled and lucky. That shot avoided a vital spot. He just lost too much blood and is still under anesthesia and unconscious after the surgery. Even if you go, you won't be able to speak. The two of you can only look after each other and worry about each other."
Hearing her gentle persuasion, Rebecca gave up the idea of rushing to the hospital now. Suddenly, she glared at Li Tingxi with an unfriendly expression and said, "What did you just say? Lu Mingxuan ruined your plans?"
Li Tingxi frowned. "Isn't that right?"
"Mr. Li, stop talking nonsense." Rebecca's voice wasn't loud, but her tone was forceful. "Back then, Jack deliberately acted like he was going to assault me, and Lu Mingxuan only rushed out out of concern. If it had been Su Su who was tackled, would you have hidden in a corner like a coward and kept quiet?"
Li Tingxi had a disgusted look on his face and said coldly, "I won't let my woman get into that kind of situation."
"Wow, it's been a long time since I've heard such a refreshingly unconventional joke," Rebecca retorted. "I wonder who forced our Susu to jump into the sea while pregnant five years ago? The biggest danger to Susu was you!"
"You!" Li Tingxi's face turned ashen, and he subconsciously took a step forward, only to be stopped by Su...

Ling held on tightly, "Alright, arguing is Rebecca's forte. You're in the wrong, don't provoke the patient."
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxi felt even more resentful, as the words seemed to favor Rebecca. "You think so too? Am I really that worthless?"
Look at that resentful look!
Su Youling clicked her tongue, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Su Youling!" Li Tingxi was annoyed. This woman really didn't care about him at all.
Xia Zhiying even said something about 'liking'... What a quack!
Before he could vent his anger, Su Youling suddenly dragged him outside, pinned him against the wall, and kissed him fiercely.
This was the first time in so long since their reunion that she had expressed her feelings and desires so directly, passionately, and proactively, leaving Li Tingxi momentarily overwhelmed with excitement.
If it weren't for the real warmth and heat in her arms, she would have almost thought she was still dreaming.
This kiss was a mixture of many complex emotions—the relief and joy of the child recovering from a serious illness, the satisfaction and gratitude of the successful resolution of the kidnapping case, the bickering yet joyful daily life of the two of them, and the gradually clearing feelings after the gloom of the past doubts and suspicions had faded away...
At that moment, their hearts seemed infinitely close.
"Are you still angry now?" Su Youling wiped the glistening tears from the corner of her lips, stood on tiptoe to look into his eyes, "Li Tingxi, why are you so petty?"
Li Tingxi lowered his head and bit her lip. "Isn't it all because of you tormenting me!"
Another kiss, and Su Youling was panting when it ended.
If it weren't for the fact that Rebecca was still in the ward, she even felt that Li Tingxi would have been unable to resist going into heat right there in the corridor.
"You've worked hard these past few days," Su Youling said sincerely. "You've done a good job and deserve a reward. Let's wipe the slate clean of all the past conflicts."
Cancel it all?
Li Tingxi gripped her waist tightly, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "When did you meet Xia Zhiying? Did she deliberately approach me?"
Su Youling knew she couldn't escape this ordeal, and even her attempts to be affectionate and friendly couldn't save her from being questioned: "Didn't you already guess?"
Li Tingxi's face darkened, a sense of unease creeping through his heart. He himself didn't know where this strange emotion came from. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Then why didn't you tell me about your illness?" Su Youling couldn't help but feel annoyed by his serious tone, which made things seem more serious.
Even when the two were at their worst, and she was prepared to part ways amicably, she never gave up on asking Xia Zhiying to help treat Li Tingxi's mental illness.
Throughout the entire relationship, even during their most intimate moments, he never considered proactively revealing his illness and secrets.
“I will handle these things; you don’t need to worry about them.” What Li Tingxi wanted to convey was that Su Youling had too many things to worry about.
Family, company, friends, business, life...
His illness was the punishment he brought upon himself five years ago. The last person who should worry about him is Su Youling, otherwise it would only aggravate his guilt and unease.
However, to Su Youling, such an arrogant and absolute expression meant that he had not opened his heart to her at all, and was essentially still as domineering as he was five years ago.
“Li Tingxi, you haven’t changed at all in essence.”
