Chapter 152 She is superfluous between them
Li Mufeng: "..."
After a long silence, he sighed, "What kind of nemesis are you two? You clearly don't want to continue this entanglement with him, so why don't you contact my people to leave as soon as possible? Your belly should be showing by now."
Su Youling subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. In fact, compared with her slender limbs, the curve of her lower abdomen was already somewhat unusual.
She's very thin and usually dresses casually, so she can probably keep it hidden for up to six months.
The premise was that no one could take off her clothes to check her back then, but it was different when Li Tingxi was around.
Despite her best efforts to avoid it, the two of them have still had quite a few encounters lately...
It's out of control!
She really needs to speed up her departure process.
"Thank you for what happened last time. I understand, so don't worry about it." Su Youling sat up, and as soon as she moved, she felt as if her body had undergone a major demolition. While cursing Li Tingxi in her heart, she also carefully felt for any unusual movements in her lower abdomen.
I wonder if such an intense affair has harmed the child?
You should find some time to get it checked out as soon as possible!
"What's the matter that you're calling me at this hour?" Su Youling brought the conversation back to the main topic, her tone somewhat absent-minded.
Li Mufeng paused for a moment, then said, "Chen Xiyue's surgery was a success! She had been insisting that she wouldn't have the surgery unless she saw Tingxi, but given the current situation at the Li family, Tingxi absolutely could not leave at will. So Tingxi only made one phone call, but she miraculously cooperated with the treatment."
Su Youling gripped her fingers tightly, thinking of the time she overheard Li Tingxi making a phone call behind someone's back. He must have been contacting Shen Xiyue at that time, right?
Because her identity has been questioned, the Li family is making unusual moves, and Li Qidong is still under investigation and has not been completely brought down, so the hidden dangers remain. Now, even if he wants to personally accompany Shen Xiyue through her difficult time, he cannot go abroad and give others a handle to use against him.
He clearly cared deeply for Shen Xiyue, yet he concealed it in front of her.

If you're willing to admit it, why bother?
She had no right to be jealous or angry.
But how is Li Tingxi's behavior any different from that of a scumbag?
Li Mufeng continued to marvel, "She's been very obedient since the surgery. She takes her medicine when told to, gets her injections when she needs them, and can endure any pain. I even suspect that Li Tingxi cast a spell on her remotely through electromagnetic waves!"
"You called specifically to report on Shen Xiyue's condition?" Su Youling interrupted him abruptly, her tone somewhat impatient. "Go ahead and report to Li Tingxi. I'm not interested in her affairs. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
"Wait a minute." Li Mufeng snapped out of his daze, quickly stopped, and said with a hidden agenda, "Of course I called you because it's related to you."
"explain."
"You're suddenly so cold, did something upset you?" Li Mufeng muttered, then quickly got back to the point, as if afraid Su Youling would be upset if she heard him. "A friend of Shen Xiyue came to visit today and brought up her and her husband's situation."
He paused deliberately, and Su Youling frowned. "That's it?"
"Isn't this just teasing you?" Li Mufeng chuckled dryly. Since his lame jokes weren't working, he could only awkwardly continue, "To be precise, her ex-husband! When Shen Xiyue was seriously ill, she had already divorced that man, so she's single now, and it seems she's determined to return to China after surviving her near-death experience."
Unconsciously, Su Youling tightened her grip on the handrail, but her tone was extremely cold: "What does that have to do with me?"
“Not only do you two share the same face, but more importantly, you share a troublesome identity. If Shen Xiyue really comes back, have you thought about your fate?” Li Mufeng raised his voice.
"It's not like this is her first time coming back..."
“This time is different.” Li Mufeng interrupted her impatiently, “Before, she was seriously ill, and Shen Xiyue returned to the country with the thought of dying. She didn’t even tell anyone about the divorce. Given Tingxi’s personality, even if he can’t let go of Shen Xiyue, he won’t put down his pride and get entangled with a married woman, let alone his first love who betrayed him!”
Su Youling bit her lip, her eyes filled with coldness.
“Things are different now. Shen Xiyue has escaped death and will be like a healthy person from now on. With Tingxi around, the Shen family is now falling apart, and your cheapskate parents are most likely not going to get out. So Shen Xiyue can only rely on Tingxi, and you are superfluous.” Li Mufeng paused, seemingly giving Su Youling time to calm down. After a long silence, he hesitated and asked, “Are you still listening?”
"Okay." Su Youling came back to her senses.
Just now, her mind was buzzing. It was as if she hadn't thought of anything, yet it was also as if she had thought of everything, including the ending between her and Li Tingxi.
It was destined from the beginning.
If she wants to be herself again, she needs to shed the title of Shen Xiyue.
There was no need to linger in the first place.
"Li Mufeng, please do me a favor." After a long silence, Su Youling suddenly spoke, her low, hoarse voice filled with confusion and helplessness.
...
In the living room on the first floor, Li Tingxi dismissed the servants, leaving behind the exquisite breakfast sent by Mr. Yin.
I was just about to go upstairs to wake up my lazybones for dinner when I received a call from overseas.
Counting the days, Shen Xiyue's surgery ended several days ago, and she should be coming out of the ICU now.
Li Tingxi paused, turned around, and walked to the window to answer the call.
"Tingxi, I made it through." After the surgery, Shen Xiyue was initially unable to speak and was still wearing an oxygen mask in the ICU.

Now that she had finally been transferred to a regular ward and taken off her oxygen mask, the first thing she did was call Li Tingxi. Her voice was choked with a pitiful sob as she spoke, "I almost thought I would never see you again."
Li Tingxi was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Congratulations on your rebirth."
"Thanks to the courage you gave me, I thought I was going to die. Luckily you came..." Shen Xiyue had to gasp for breath after saying a few words, sounding very weak.
Even though Li Tingxi was as hard as a rock, he couldn't be too indifferent in the face of a weak and choking patient. "Don't talk anymore, rest well and get better soon."
His tone softened slightly, "Xi Yue, this is all I can do to help you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Whether it's physical health, the Shen family, or something else.
He believed he had done everything he could for Shen Xiyue.
Ever since he returned to City A from the airport last time and personally handed the seriously ill Shen Xiyue over to Li Mufeng, when faced with Li Mufeng's questioning, he vaguely realized that between Shen Xiyue and Su Youling, he had unknowingly chosen the one he initially thought was impossible.
His feelings for Shen Xiyue had long since changed without him realizing it.
She was no longer as important as Su Youling. In fact, after seeing her again, apart from the initial shock and resentment, and the subsequent pity and help, he could no longer find the mindset he had when he was betrayed by Shen Xiyue.
Because I don't care, I don't blame them.
During this period, Su Youling occupied his entire emotional life. Apart from the occasional phone call from overseas and Li Mufeng's report on his condition, he almost never thought of Shen Xiyue.
Even at this moment, hearing Shen Xiyue's return to health, and hearing her weak and pitiful voice echoing in his ears, his heart remained completely undisturbed...
Li Tingxi finally realized that Shen Xiyue was a thing of the past.
