Chapter 512 Overjoyed
Everyone was overjoyed by the good news.
To speed things up, Su Youling followed her plan and found several of Professor Richard's students, who were much easier to talk to than Professor Richard.
Su Youling brought the expert medical team arranged by Li Tingxi with her, and she often ran between the laboratory and the villa, quickly becoming one of them.
While spending a lot of time interacting with these graduate students, Su Youling also entrusted Li Tingxi with an important task: to take good care of the three children's daily lives while she was away.
Of course, considering that Li Tingxi was a new father who had just taken office, she still gave Li Tingxi a special privilege, which was that he could ask Su Hong to provide off-site assistance.
However, she had already made arrangements with Su Hong beforehand, and there were conditions attached: Su Hong would not help unless it was an emergency.
She also promised Li Tingxi a big reward: "Remember, I will be evaluating your performance. If you can reach a passing grade that satisfies the children, I will give you a surprise as a reward."
Although Li Tingxi was full of expectations for his family life with his three children, he still felt a lot of pressure.
His concerns proved to be justified.
Adhering to the principle that a new father must take care of his children in every little detail, he took over the task of preparing breakfast for the three children every day from Su Hong.
As a result, it completely failed on the first day of practice.
The three children stared at the fried eggs on their plates, which looked like they'd been bombed, and were filled with deep suspicion, unable to bring themselves to eat.
The three of them looked at Li Tingxi together. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning in their three pairs of big eyes was exactly the same: they were questioning Li Tingxi, "He doesn't even know how to fry an egg?"
Li Tingxi was a little embarrassed and tried his best to defend himself: "Uncle Li is only using this kind of small cooking pot for the first time. Tomorrow, I promise I will fry a perfect and beautiful heart-shaped fried egg for you."
The children couldn't bear to discourage his confidence, so they ate the fried egg and said it actually tasted pretty good.
Then, when Su Youling got home that evening, even though it was past dinner time, she could still hear a lot of noise coming from the kitchen. When she went in, she was immediately stunned by the mountain of fried eggs piled up on the plate on the counter.
"Li Tingxi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Tingxi turned around, coughed awkwardly twice, revealing a rare hint of clumsiness.
Upon learning that he was practicing his breakfast recipes for the next few days, Su Youling was at a loss for words, finding it both amusing and touching.
Finally, adhering to the idea of not wasting food, the two finished off a large plate of fried eggs as a late-night snack.
Such humorous moments were endless, but it was also clear that Li Tingxi's culinary skills had steadily improved. He prepared a variety of breakfasts every day, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables that was well-received by Su Hong.
Another noteworthy incident was when Li Tingxi volunteered to bathe Yangyang.
The children are all capable of bathing independently, but Li Tingxi insists that Yangyang is still sick and he doesn't feel comfortable not bathing him himself.
Yangyang hesitated for a moment but then agreed.
The unprecedented close contact between father and son has also reduced the invisible barrier between them.

There was a little mishap when I finished taking a shower.
Su Youling was extremely curious about the interaction between the father and son during the bath. She sat in the living room watching TV with Xingxing and Yueyue, but kept her ears open to the sounds coming from the bathroom.
When Li Tingxi came out holding Yangyang's hand, she immediately looked over, but the next second she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The reason is simple: their trip abroad was quite rushed, so they hadn't packed their luggage properly.
In addition, Li Tingxi was completely clueless about children's clothes, and as a result, he mistakenly gave Yangyang Yueyue's pajamas.
When Yangyang came out wearing Yueyue's lace-trimmed dress, not only Su Youling, but also Xingxing and Yueyue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Yangyang's little face was so red it was almost bleeding, whether from being in the bathroom for too long or from shyness. Coupled with his awkward little expression, he really looked like a shy little girl.
Su Youling couldn't resist and pounced over to pinch his little face, teasingly saying, "I didn't expect our Yangyang to have such a girlish heart! Aww, so cute!"
Yangyang immediately wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and wanted to go upstairs to change her pajamas, but Su Youling ruthlessly stopped her.
Yueyue couldn't resist joining in the fun either. She circled around Yangyang, patted her little chest with a smile, and said in a very generous manner, "Yangyang, you look so pretty in my dress. I'll give it to you."
Seeing his son's embarrassed state after being teased, Li Tingxi felt a pang of conscience and stopped laughing. He quickly took his son upstairs to change his clothes.
While Li Tingxi's life taking care of the child brought endless joy to everyone, Su Youling's situation was also progressing well.
Although Professor Richard's students didn't know much about his private life, they at least knew some of his habits and preferences, so Su Youling's gains were considerable.
After consulting with the expert medical team, she discovered that the project that Professor Richard's students were preparing was quite promising. After discussing it with Li Tingxi, they both agreed that investing some money in it would be beneficial.
Their financial injection also opened up the students, who eventually revealed that Professor Richard's decision to retire seemed to be influenced by his family.
According to one of the students, he once accidentally stumbled upon Professor Richard seemingly talking on the phone with his ex-wife, and the two got into an argument. He then became very depressed for a while.
Moreover, when Professor Richard took over his last patient two years ago, there was a problem, but because of Professor Richard's status in the industry and the negative impact on the outside world, it was kept from him at the time.
Professor Richard's students heard some rumors, but they weren't gossipy people, and out of respect for their teacher, they didn't inquire further.
In addition, the insiders are all high-ranking figures in the industry, and ordinary people can't get them to talk.
The information she had gathered had already delighted Su Youling.
The background check that Li Tingxi had Qin He conduct on Professor Richard has also come back. There isn't much information, but the main point is that Professor Richard is divorced and has a daughter with his ex-wife, who lives with her.
Further information about his ex-wife and daughter is unavailable, as Professor Richard has never made it public.
After discussing it, Li Tingxi and Su Youling decided that the best course of action was to start their investigation with the unexpected circumstances surrounding Professor Richard's last patient two years ago.
