Chapter 613 Optimal Solution
Yangyang nodded slightly but didn't say anything.
Xingxing sighed, "Why do adults always like to argue? Wouldn't it be better if everyone just got along peacefully? They don't consider our little hearts at all."
At this moment, Su Youling suddenly looked up and asked Li Tingxi directly, "Why are you staring at me like that? Just say what you want to say."
After calming down for so many days, doesn't he still intend to have a proper talk with me?
Li Tingxi's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously glanced at the children.
"We're full." Seeing the atmosphere between the two, Yangyang appropriately pulled Xingxing and Yueyue away, letting them have some time alone.
Li Tingxi's eyes were filled with unfathomable light. "What do you plan to do?"
"Me? What are your plans?" Su Youling was bewildered. "What do you mean, 'what to do'? The key to the problem lies with you now. Have you thought about how you want to have a proper talk with me?"
Seeing her solemn expression, Li Tingxi suddenly walked over and leaned forward, staring intently at Su Youling. "Today we'll only talk about one thing—I went to a lot of trouble to help you rescue Rebecca, how are you going to repay me?!"
An ambiguous atmosphere slowly permeated the air between the two as their breaths mingled. Su Youling hadn't expected this shameless guy to suddenly pull such a stunt after their cold war. Her heartstrings seemed to be plucked, and she let out an uncontrollable, high-pitched cheer.
Su Youling blushed deeply at her uncontrollable flutter of the heart, but after realizing what was happening, she didn't push him away. Instead, she calmly pressed against his chest and said, "Li Tingxi, not every conflict can be resolved with this trick."
Li Tingxi paused, stood up somewhat awkwardly, and whispered, "That kid Qin He! Isn't it said that couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed?"
Su Youling, with her sharp ears, half-listened and half-guessed, caught the key point: "We're not husband and wife yet, and you're still in your probationary period, honey. This kind of relationship where you fight in bed and make up in bed is only suitable for real couples who have established trust and security with each other."
Finally, Li Tingxi stared at her for a long time before sighing, "There are still many things to deal with right now, and who knows what kind of trouble Li Qidong will cause. Can we stop this cold war?"
He felt a sense of loss. "I waited five years for you to come back, but we always seem to be arguing. I know I have a problem, but I don't know how to make you happy once and for all, or how to make you want to come closer to me..."
Seeing him analyze his thoughts like this, a hint of pity flashed in Su Youling's eyes, but reason ultimately prevailed over rationality.
“Li Tingxi, the root of our problems has never been just you. I’ve always emphasized that no matter what happens, we can face it together. If you’re not prepared for that, I can’t take the initiative to come to you, because I don’t want to end up like we did five years ago.”
Li Tingxi didn't expect Su Youling to be so resolute this time. It seems that his previous concealment really made her very angry.
Even though from his perspective, all of this had its reasons and couldn't be considered wrong, and he wouldn't even change it in the future...
But seeing Su Youling's resolute attitude, he seemed to foresee that if he didn't seriously consider the essence of the matter, there would only be more and more arguments like the last one that ended badly.
Once both of their patience has been exhausted, the situation will likely be even worse than it was back then.
Thinking of this, Li Tingxi forcefully suppressed the surging agitation within him, and looked thoughtfully at Su Youling, who remained calm and composed.

Her determined little face seemed to be considering something.
Just as the two were at an impasse, Feng Anhuai suddenly called.
When Li Tingxi saw the caller ID, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot—it was that persistent ghost again.
"Don't answer." He was still giving Su Youling the cold shoulder. Wasn't this guy obviously trying to steal her away? Did Feng Anhuai grow a dog's nose?
So good at finding a gap!
Li Tingxi instinctively tried to snatch the phone away, but Su Youling glared at him fiercely. "Li Tingxi, the children and my mother are at home. Qin He and Wen Xi will be home at any time. If you want to go crazy, go outside."
Li Tingxi choked for a moment, his face showing displeasure.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Ignoring Li Tingxi's irritable expression, Su Youling answered the phone, first asking a few questions about his condition, then getting straight to the point, "Calling me so late, is something important? Did something happen at the hospital?"
"It's nothing. Although the injury last time was serious, it has been slowly getting better after resting for so many days." Feng Anhuai knew that she had a straightforward personality, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly explained the company's position and difficulties.
"Youling... I'm sorry, may I call you that? At least we're still friends."
“Of course.” Su Youling pondered for a moment. “Are you trying to plead for the company and President Ross?”
Feng Anhuai immediately explained, "No, I've heard a little about what President Ross has done. He was parachuted into the company, and there has been some dissatisfaction among the staff. I've mentioned this to you before, but his family is powerful and influential, so no one in the company dares to speak out."
"However, since President Ross has made such a huge mess this time, he naturally has to pay the price he deserves. But after all this turmoil, I'm sure you're all severely weakened. Rather than continuing to target our company and causing a lose-lose situation, it's better to seek the optimal solution."
He sighed, trying to make Su Youling empathize with their predicament. "Youling, you've also worked for a large company that supports thousands of people. You should know how difficult it is for the employees. They are all innocent and shouldn't have to pay the price for President Ross's reckless behavior."
Su Youling had already considered the pros and cons. Li Tingxi had already spent too much effort and money dealing with the Ye family and the Fei Luo family. If he were to attack his company again to retaliate against President Ross, the consequences would definitely outweigh the gains.
Feng Anhuai is right—Li Qidong is just a CEO who was parachuted into the company under a false identity, and his actions have nothing to do with his subordinates.
At least initially, her collaboration with the company was quite pleasant.
Their most important goal now is to deal with Li Qidong and uproot his power, rather than wasting energy and time on such trivial matters.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll discuss this with them properly. Those who do evil will be punished, and innocent people shouldn't be implicated." Su Youling's words implied an agreement, leaving Feng Anhuai in disbelief. "You really agreed?"
“What you said makes a lot of sense, why shouldn’t I agree?” Su Youling smiled. “You’ve helped me a lot and even risked your life to save me. I have no reason to refuse this small request.”
Feng Anhuai's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected Su Youling to be so easy to talk to this time, leaving him no chance to utter any of the prepared remarks or even his pitiful plea.
After saying all he could, he only said, "Thanks."
