Chapter 96 Misunderstanding Escalates
The car sped along, and even though it was on a suburban highway with few other vehicles or pedestrians at night, the howling wind still filled our ears.
"Li Tingxi, slow down!" The almost weightless speed made Su Youling feel extremely uncomfortable, and this time she couldn't even vomit.
Her shouts were broken and incoherent in the wind. Li Tingxi, with a cold face, suddenly slammed on the brakes, startling Su Youling, who lurched forward.
If the seatbelt hadn't been fastened tightly, I would have definitely hit my head on the windshield.
The car drove off the national highway and stopped in a dense forest, completely plunging the vehicle into darkness. Only the dim light inside the car allowed the two people to clearly see each other's expressions.
"Are you crazy?!" Su Youling, still shaken, clutched her lower abdomen and glared at Li Tingxi's ugly face. "Li Tingxi, what are you so angry about? What did I do to make you look like you caught me in the act?"
Li Tingxi slammed his fist on the steering wheel, opened his phone, and threw it in front of Su Youling. "Isn't this enough? How much more do you want me to be cuckolded? Do you want to see you two in bed with your own eyes?"
The phone showed a short video of Shi Yan kissing her cheek, amidst cheers and applause. A group of handsome men and beautiful women surrounded the couple, as if they were blessing the newlyweds.
The person who filmed the video was clearly trying to sow discord by filming everyone from such ambiguous angles.
Lu Han's posture was almost as if he was about to hug her from the side, as if he were trying to steal her away from Shi Yan.
“I understand you’ve had a hard day, so I didn’t want to bother you or annoy you. I went back to the hotel alone and racked my brains trying to figure out what kind of nutritious menu to make for you tomorrow to help with your digestion. I wanted you to get some rest…” Li Tingxi said through gritted teeth, “But what about you?”
"I……"
"You ran out alone in the middle of the night to meet a group of men! Old flame! Young hunks! Passionate racing! Cheek kisses!" Li Tingxi said, the veins on his forehead throbbing more and more terrifyingly, as if he was on the verge of exploding. "Seeing is believing, what else do you have to explain?"
"This video is clearly malicious!" The man's expression was terrifying; his cold, angry eyes seemed to want to tear her apart. Su Youling couldn't help but break out in a fine layer of cold sweat.
She would never forget how ruthless and heartless this man was just because Li Tingxi had been inexplicably nicer to her lately.
He absolutely cannot tolerate betrayal from those around him!
Especially since he should still be someone Li Tingxi finds acceptable, he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch him—this was Li Tingxi's domineering possessiveness!
If she can't explain herself clearly now, she'll likely have a hard time getting away unscathed tonight.
Su Youling instinctively protected her lower abdomen, pushing away the phone video with one hand. Upon seeing the sender's number, her powerful memory quickly began to work.
Although the sender was an unfamiliar number that Li Tingxi had not saved in his contacts, Zhao Xinning's phone number was saved in the information Li Tingxi had given her at the time.
It's this string of numbers!
"Li Tingxi, calm down." Su Youling closed her eyes, trying her best to remain calm. "Tonight, Manager Liu asked me to come and talk about Zhao Fu. Zhao Xinning followed us to the club and secretly instigated those young masters in the video to make things difficult for me!"
Li Tingxi remained expressionless and did not utter a single word.
Su Youling sighed, "I really didn't know the time delay would cause this."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
"Right now, that kiss on the cheek was... an accident. This video was recorded by Zhao Xinning; the angle and timing were carefully calculated to sow discord between us. She probably already knew our identities from Zhao Fu, which is why she came to cause trouble for me!"
It's unclear how much of what Li Tingxi heard, but he suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt, rolled over, and pressed down on Su Youling.
"Li Tingxi!" Su Youling was startled and instinctively dodged away, but this evasive action angered Li Tingxi, who was already suppressing his anger.
"You just saw your old flame and you're already keeping your chastity for him?" Li Tingxi grabbed her chin, his cold eyes flashing with terrifying jealousy. "Su Youling, when I was staying up all night preparing a nutritious menu for you, I received a video of you and your ex being all lovey-dovey. You want me to calm down?"
"Where did this 'lovey-dovey' talk come from! He only kissed me on the cheek because he ambushed me, and I pushed him away immediately." Su Youling was anxious, somewhat afraid of Li Tingxi's irrational behavior. "Shi Yan and I have a long-standing feud from eight hundred years ago; we broke up and lost contact a long time ago! Li Tingxi, don't fall for Zhao Xinning's scheme to sow discord!"
With a click.
Li Tingxi unbuckled Su Youling's seatbelt, suddenly lowered the seat, flipped over and pressed down on Su Youling, coldly saying, "If you really have forgotten your ex completely, why did you save him time and time again tonight? If I had been driving any faster just now, the way you pulled him wouldn't have saved him, and you would have died with him!"
This was the real trigger for Li Tingxi's anger!
Receiving a video of your wife being intimate with another man in the middle of the night is something no man could tolerate.
He was absolutely furious and sped all the way here.
But he wasn't stupid. The other party sent such a cryptic video in the middle of the night, and the meaning was obvious. After his initial jealousy and anger, he calmed down considerably on the way.
More than catching him in the act of adultery, he was worried about Su Youling's safety.
It's too dangerous for a woman to be alone in such a chaotic club in the middle of the night!
He was both angry at Su Youling's willfulness and audacity and worried about her safety. These emotions gradually overshadowed his jealousy and anger.
On the way, he even took a screenshot of the time delay and sent it to Qin He, asking him to check the person's background.
To my surprise, the result of the investigation was—my ex-boyfriend!
Just then, he saw Su Youling and Shi Yan pulling and tugging at each other in an ambiguous manner, but Su Youling was not as decisive and cold as she was with other men who harassed her.
She wasn't this obedient when Chen Yu was harassing her!
At that moment, overwhelming anger and jealousy burned in his eyes, the roar of the car engine overwhelmed his reason, and he only wanted that damned man to disappear!
What angered him even more was that, in that life-or-death moment, Su Youling actually rushed out and pulled Shi Yan back without fear of death.
It is in life-or-death moments that you can see a person's true feelings and intentions—she clearly cared a lot about the time delay!
This realization turned into a raging fire, burning through his entire body!
Li Tingxi pressed down on Su Youling's trembling body, looking into her fearful, tearful eyes. This time, however, he showed no mercy, his gaze growing even colder. "Does touching you make you this disgusted?"
His fingers, like a cold snake, traced inch by inch from her lips across her throat, his voice full of threat and mockery, "Now, still want to throw up?"
