I won't lie to you anymore after Chapter 228.
Especially with Shen Xiyue leaning against him, the scene was glaringly obvious.
Su Youling lost all hope in him, gave a self-deprecating smile, and silently turned and left.
"Su Su!" Li Tingxi was startled to see the despair in her eyes. He handed Shen Xiyue over to her mother and was about to chase after her immediately.
Seeing his intention, Chen's mother grabbed him to stop him from leaving, gritting her teeth and saying, "Li Tingxi, my daughter has been harmed like this by Su Youling, and you still want to go to that woman? Do you have any conscience at all?"
Li Tingxi stared at her with a deep look in his eyes, "I haven't even settled accounts with you for bringing Su Su here on your own initiative. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Startled by the sinister look in his eyes, Chen's mother unconsciously released his hand, still unwilling to give up, "What will happen to my daughter if you leave?"
"You just need to look after her and wait for the doctor to arrive. You'd better not interfere in anything that's not your business." After giving this warning, Li Tingxi didn't linger and ran after Su Youling.
Fortunately, Su Youling hadn't gone far, and Li Tingxi intercepted her outside the hospital gate.
Su Youling looked at him expressionlessly and said sarcastically, "Why aren't you taking care of your weak and pitiful ex-wife? What are you doing here looking for me? Or are you just eager to seek justice for her?"
"I pushed her down and was so vicious that I scared her into fainting, so how are you going to stand up for her?"
Li Tingxi frowned more and more, unable to listen any longer. He stepped forward, pressed down on her shoulder, and looked intently into her eyes. "I believe you didn't push her."
Su Youling was stunned for a moment, and realizing that she had almost wavered because of his words, she gritted her teeth and pushed him away, "You believe me, but I don't believe you."
She stared intently into Li Tingxi's eyes, her face filled with accusation and grievance. "Li Tingxi, which of your words are true and which are false? I really can't tell anymore, and I don't want to keep guessing like this. It's really tiring, you understand?"
Seeing her eyes gradually redden, Li Tingxi felt his heart breaking.
He held Su Youling's hand, refusing to let go even as she struggled. "Su Su, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. I promise I won't lie to you again."
“I can’t accept your repeated lies to me,” Su Youling shook her head, forcefully pried his hand away, took two steps back to distance herself from him, “I think we need to cool down. Since you can’t let go of Shen Xiyue, then you should go back and take care of Shen Xiyue. There’s no need to keep entangled with me here.”
Li Tingxi became anxious and said, "There's no rekindling of old feelings. I have no romantic feelings for Shen Xiyue whatsoever. The only one I love is you."
"If you are truly innocent, why did you deceive me?" Su Youling stared at him coldly.
Li Tingxi dared not tell the truth.
If Su Youling knew that it was because Zhao Xinning mistook Shen Xiyue for her that Shen Xiyue lost her right leg and was likely to become partially paralyzed, she would definitely feel psychologically burdened by it.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Su Youling felt a chill and then questioned him, "You orchestrated the release of Shen Cong and his wife, didn't you? Wasn't you doing this because of Shen Xiyue?"
Li Tingxi hesitated for a moment, because the answer to both questions was yes, but the reason was not what Su Youling thought.
However, he wasn't given any opportunity to organize his thoughts.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Su Youling was completely disappointed in him and immediately hailed a taxi and left.
Li Tingxi didn't have time to react and could only watch helplessly as the car drove away.
As Su Youling sat in the car, she leaned her head against the window, her mind filled with images of Li Tingxi's tender care for Shen Xiyue, and Li Tingxi's hesitant expression before getting in the car.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Coupled with a dull ache in her lower abdomen, she took a few deep breaths, took out her phone, and called Li Mufeng.
She is in a condition where she cannot go to a major hospital. She kept it from Li Tingxi because the child's arrival was too unexpected, and she was prepared to leave.
Now that she knows that Li Tingxi has kept so many things from her, she will probably have to re-evaluate their relationship. She must not let Li Tingxi know about the existence of this child.
Fortunately, Li Mufeng didn't ask her why she hadn't told Li Tingxi about the child's existence yet. Instead, he kindly gave her the address of a private hospital he knew.
"The hospital's director is an elder I know, and the obstetricians and gynecologists are quite well-known in the industry, so you can rest assured about safety."
Su Youling had already received the address he sent, and after thanking him, she immediately rushed over.
Fortunately, the hospital wasn't far away, and Su Youling arrived in less than half an hour.
Because she had Li Mufeng's contact information, she was worried that something might happen to the baby in her womb, so she contacted the hospital director directly.
Soon a nurse came and found Su Youling, who was sitting in the waiting area, and led her directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Su Youling, protecting her belly with one hand, walked to the corner and suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd—it was Li Tingxi's mother!
As Li's mother walked towards her in the direction of the crowd, Su Youling's pupils contracted slightly. She instinctively turned to the side, pretending to be uncomfortable and raising one hand to cover her face.
The nurse, puzzled, noticed that she had stopped and considerately asked, "Are you experiencing contractions in your lower abdomen?"
Su Youling was determined to avoid Li's mother. With the obstetrics and gynecology department not far ahead, if Li's mother saw her enter the department, the truth about the child would be impossible to hide.
She gritted her teeth, shook her head dismissively at the nurse, and said in a low, somewhat urgent voice, "I need to go to the restroom first. Could you come with me?"
The toilet was in another direction, opposite to the direction Li's mother was going. They would briefly intersect and then pass each other, but there was no time to worry about that now.
The nurse believed Su Youling and followed her to the restroom.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she saw that Li's mother was already close at hand. Su Youling's heart was pounding, and she quickly grabbed the nurse's arm, trying to use her to block Li's mother's view.
However, because she was too anxious, she didn't notice a child running under her feet, and she tripped over him, losing her footing and about to fall.
Her face turned pale, and her first reaction was to protect her stomach.
Fortunately, a pair of strong arms pulled her back just in time. At that moment, Li's mother passed by and looked over curiously. Su Youling's face was mostly blocked, and only half of her chin could be vaguely seen.
It was a false alarm. Su Youling looked up and saw Shi Yan's face magnified in front of her.
Before Li's mother had gone far, Su Youling didn't dare to speak at all, and could only desperately wink at him to signal.
