Chapter 43 Your husband stayed by your side all night
Li Tingxi wanted to see how this woman was doing after betraying him. He wanted to hear why she abandoned him, and he wanted to find a reason for his resentment and lingering feelings over the past three years...
But undeniably, what he most wanted to hear was her tearful apology, to see her tears of regret, to soothe the blow and resentment he felt at being betrayed in this relationship to which he had invested so much.
Li Tingxi ignored the broken phone and started the car to leave.
The maid chased after him, saying expectantly, "Sir, when you go to see Madam, please bring her a serving of crispy fried dough sticks. Madam loves to eat this snack when she's unhappy. I heard it's a local specialty from a small city in the south."
Li Tingxi hesitated for a moment before pressing the accelerator.
I almost forgot about Su Youling!
Li Tingxi was caught in an inexplicable internal struggle, unsure of who to approach first.
Otherwise, let's first make sure Su Youling is safe.
Regardless, she made a great contribution to the Chenzhou factory this time, and he shouldn't go back on his word.
Li Tingxi, who was desperately trying to convince himself, hadn't yet realized that if Su Youling was just a substitute, and the real person had already returned, why should he lower himself to the level of trying to win over a mere substitute?
Just as he made up his mind, the maid's phone rang.
The call came from Li's mother at the hospital. Since she couldn't get through to Li Tingxi's cell phone, she could only call the Li mansion.
"Li Tingxi, the surgery is over!" Li's mother cried, trembling. "Your father's condition is very bad. You need to go back to the hospital immediately."
Li Tingxi frowned, "Mom..."
"Li Tingxi, you'd better not mention that woman again, or I'll make her disappear forever, so you won't be bewitched by this vixen and lose your sense of priorities," Li's mother warned coldly.
Li Tingxi knew his mother's methods; she was no ordinary person, having managed to oust the powerful former mistress of the Li family.
"It's none of her business." Li Tingxi changed direction and drove towards the hospital. "I'll be right back."
After hanging up with his mother, Li Tingxi temporarily borrowed the maid's phone to call Qin He, waking his drowsy assistant from bed. "Find out where Su Youling is immediately. I need to confirm she's safe. My phone is broken. Call this number if anything happens."
"Understood." Although Qin He was a little confused, it was about Su Youling, and this wasn't the first time the president had lost control like this; he was used to it.
Meanwhile, Chenzhou was in complete chaos.
Li Mufeng sped towards City A, unable to get through to Li Tingxi on the phone. Furious, he cursed, "Li Tingxi, you better not be dead, or I'll be driven mad by you! It's so urgent, why aren't you answering the phone?"
Xiao Han was so anxious that his eyes were red. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let the boss leave alone. If I had taken her back first, she wouldn't have been so easily targeted by those two heartless people."
Originally, it was thought that staying in Chenzhou was just to do the cleanup work, but unexpectedly, the police informed that Chen Yu and Sister Feng had both escaped and their whereabouts were unknown. After professional analysis and investigation, it was discovered that Sister Feng had followed Su Youling to City A, and Chen Yu had also been seen near Su Youling's new residence.
Through a joint investigation by police from both locations, Su Youling's phone and bag were found, and there were signs of a struggle at the door, which most likely confirmed the kidnapping.
When the news reached Chenzhou, Li Mufeng and Xiao Han rushed back overnight, but they couldn't get in touch with Li Tingxi no matter what they did. The two of them were almost going crazy with worry.

"Xiao Han, do you have Li Tingxi's assistant's phone number?" Li Mufeng was more composed. "City A is Li Tingxi's territory. If we want to rescue your boss as soon as possible, we must contact him."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Mufeng received a call from the police—Shen Xiyue had been rescued.
...
When Su Youling woke up, she was in an unfamiliar private hospital. Her injuries had been treated, and she had an IV drip in the back of her hand.
The nurse next to her saw that she had woken up and said with delight, "You're finally awake! Your husband stayed up all night and just went out to find a doctor."
husband?
Su Youling subconsciously thought of Li Tingxi, recalling the violent impact before she lost consciousness, and her head throbbed with pain.
At that moment, Chen Yu drove recklessly and crashed into her. If a car hadn't suddenly rushed over to stop her, she would probably have become a victim of car accident, dying under the tires along with her unborn child.
Did Li Tingxi come to save her?
But that car wasn't his!
Su Youling touched her lower abdomen, her expression suddenly changing. She grabbed the nurse's hand and asked, "What medicine did you give me? My baby..."
Did the baby survive?
Does Li Tingxi know she's pregnant?
What was his reaction?
Will he force himself to have an abortion?
Then, the door opened.
A tall, handsome, and dashing figure walked in, glanced at her, and said, "You're alright, the child... is alright for now."
Su Youling was extremely surprised. "Mr. Ding? It's you!"
"I saved you!" Ding Muyan's expression was as casual as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today." "The doctor said your health wasn't good, and this time you were frightened repeatedly and injured again, almost losing the baby. But luckily I got you to the hospital in time, and the doctors here are very capable."
His gaze fell on Su Youling's lower abdomen. "You seem disappointed to see me? The person who saved you isn't the father of your child, are you heartbroken?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ding." Su Youling composed herself, showing no embarrassment or awkwardness at having her thoughts exposed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can you keep this a secret?"
Ding Muyan laughed. "Doesn't Li Tingxi know you're pregnant?"
“We’re getting a divorce soon.” This time, Su Youling didn’t hide anything. “Mr. Ding, Li Tingxi has a new lover by his side and wouldn’t want to know about this child.”
Ding Muyan looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly reached out and touched her cheek, startling Su Youling. "You..."
"You're disfigured, and you're still afraid I'll have ulterior motives?" Ding Muyan's hand touched the gauze on her cheek, his eyes deepening. "I heard you didn't even have anesthesia when you got your stitches last time, was it for the sake of the child? You're about to get a divorce and you still want to have his child. Do you like Li Tingxi that much?"
Su Youling frowned, sensing that something seemed off about his mood.
But the next moment, he casually withdrew his hand and sneered, "How can there be such a stupid woman as you in this world? You are clearly very capable, yet you willingly let a man trap you in a cage like a canary."
Su Youling saw no need to explain to him. Even though Ding Muyan had saved her, the two weren't close enough to confide in each other.
She revealed the news of the divorce only in the hope that Ding Muyan could help her conceal her pregnancy.
Ding Muyan suddenly leaned in close, his breath falling on her nose, so close that it was easy to mistake him for someone about to kiss her. "Don't stare at me like that. Any man would think you're trying to seduce me."
