Chapter 404 My gender is female, but my orientation is male.
Karina had installed several hidden cameras when she first entered the house to investigate the old man's plans.
Unexpectedly, she actually heard the key point today.
Karina stared coldly at the scratches on her legs and the burns on her fingers.
That old bastard, he'll get what's coming to him sooner or later!
...
At the hospital.
After several days of rest and a series of complicated examinations, Li Tingxi's condition finally stabilized. Although he still needed to stay in the hospital, he was no longer bedridden and unable to move.
When the weather is nice, you can even go out for a drive in your wheelchair.
To allow Li Tingxi, this workaholic, to worry less about work and rest more, Su Youling took advantage of the sunny weather to push him downstairs to bask in the sun and relax.
Otherwise, he'll get so stale that he'll cling to me all day and won't let me leave, it'll just get so annoying.
"It's been so long since I've seen such beautiful sunshine." Li Tingxi raised his hand, looking at the warm light and shadows streaming through his fingers, and Su Youling's pretty face appearing and disappearing in the sunlight. He sighed, "When I fell off the rooftop that day, I thought I would never see you or the sun tomorrow again."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Youling's expression changed. Although she was not a superstitious person, she still couldn't stand hearing him say such unlucky things. "You're alive and well now, you can still breathe and talk nonsense, so don't think about what happened that night anymore."
"Why are you so nervous?" Li Tingxi grabbed Su Youling's small hand and squeezed it. "Wife, seeing how nervous you are, I really want to kiss you."
Seeing his big dog head leaning in, Su Youling quickly pushed him back, "You're going to die, in broad daylight, aren't you ashamed? I have my pride too."
Seeing her charmingly embarrassed expression, Li Tingxi's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Su Youling's hand and kissed it hard. "Wife, let's get married. I'll buy you a ring right now..."

Su Youling's expression turned indifferent as she looked at her smooth, brand-new fingers. "I gave you a chance back then, but not a single ring you bought was truly for me. So, a ring that doesn't belong to me is one I can't wear in the end."
Back then, he had the chance to personally put the ring on her finger in the wedding hall. She had dreamed of their wedding more than once and imagined their life together after they were actually married.
All of this was shattered by Li Tingxi himself.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Li Tingxi panicked and hurriedly grabbed her small hand, pulling it to his chest. "I'm sorry, I was out of my mind back then. I'll never do it again. I'll spend the rest of my life loving you and making it up to you..."
He was almost incoherent, and his eyes showed a panic and helplessness that was not in Li Tingxi's eyes, like a lost child.
Su Youling sighed, just about to find an excuse to stop the conversation, lest the two of them bring up the past—she would start rambling on the spot, and he would go crazy on the spot…
Just then, an untimely voice rang out again.
"Tingxi?" Karina limped over, her ankles and hands bandaged, looking like she was seriously injured. "You can finally come out for a walk? That's great! When can you be discharged?"
"You?" Li Tingxi was initially displeased that she had appeared at the hospital again, but when he saw Karina's injuries, his gaze paused, and he subconsciously asked with concern, "What happened?"
Having taken care of this mother and daughter for so many years, some of his care had become a natural habit, and he couldn't help it. After he finished speaking, he worried that Su Youling might be angry, so he turned his head to look at her.
Su Youling had no expression, only
He was giving Karina a detached look, his expression inscrutable, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
“I’m sorry, I know you don’t want to see me…” Karina took a step back and said pitifully, “I accidentally burned my hand and cut my foot with a piece of broken porcelain. The wound is a bit deep… I came to the hospital today to change my dressing. I didn’t expect to run into you in the garden, so I couldn’t help but come over and ask.”
Li Tingxi moved his lips, not wanting Su Youling to misunderstand, and simply nodded lightly, "Then go change your dressing, I'm fine..."
Karina felt sad. If it were before, seeing her injured would have calmed Li Tingxi down considerably, and he would have taken the initiative to come and care for her.
Since the car accident, he has shouldered the responsibility for his and Lele's lives.
Now, because he's worried that Rebecca will get jealous and angry, he's even abandoned this principle!
Karina once again subtly observed Rebecca's figure and face, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she resembled that woman, Su Youling.
Besides her, which other woman has Li Tingxi ever had such deep feelings for?
"Rebecca, I'm sorry, please don't get angry with Tingxi again because of my intrusion." Karina walked over sweetly and tried to hold Su Youling's hand. "I will listen to Tingxi and prepare to go back to City A to handle my resignation procedures after I recover from my injury."
She gave a bitter smile. "Once I take Lele abroad, you'll never see me upset again. We've become friends through a misunderstanding, and this might be the last time we see each other. Let's hug."
She looked so pitiful, as if Rebecca had bullied her!
Su Youling gently pushed her hand away. "Excuse me, I am female, but my sexual orientation is male."
Karina's expression darkened. Meeting Li Tingxi's wary gaze, she dared not press further and could only turn away pitifully, "Tingxi, I'll be going now."

Regardless, I hope you can truly move on from the shadows of your past relationship and start a new life.
Su Youling sneered inwardly.
Why is she trying to sow discord by bringing up the 'past'?
Could it be... that Karina overheard something that day and began to doubt her identity?
That's why she deliberately tested him with her words!
"I will live a good life abroad with Lele and will not cause you any more trouble in the future. Thank you for taking care of my daughter and me these past few years." Karina bit her red lips, her eyes reddening, and turned to leave.
Looking at her slender figure, Li Tingxi lowered his eyes, and the scene of accidentally hitting a pregnant woman with a large belly when he was driving years ago involuntarily flashed through his mind...
Blood flowed down her legs, staining the white hem of her skirt red. Her wet, terrified eyes looked at him pleadingly, begging him to save the child in her womb.
Since the child was born prematurely, he has been weak and sickly.
His guilt towards the mother and daughter has never faded over the years.
That car accident could potentially affect a child's entire life!
Originally, if Karina hadn't repeatedly targeted Susu, he wouldn't have been so heartless as to kick her out of the country...
He investigated Karina and learned that she had been ostracized in her workplace abroad, betrayed by her boss and a scumbag boyfriend... In desperation, she returned to China pregnant to start over.
Now, if we let her leave again, a woman with a child adrift in a foreign land, she must feel very lost and confused.
"Karina." Li Tingxi suddenly called out to the lonely, slender figure. Seeing the other person's surprised and expectant eyes, he sighed, "After you leave, if you encounter a desperate situation that you really can't solve, you can call Qin He."
