Chapter 165 Crossing His Bottom Line
"You've angered Madam Li so much, shouldn't you go back and appease her properly? Besides, now that you've exposed the CEO's identity, you're attracting a lot of attention whenever you go to Yitao. Do you think my reputation as your mistress isn't widespread enough?" Su Youling pushed her away irritably.
Neither Li's mother nor Li Tingxi had deliberately revealed her identity to the board members and employees, so everyone assumed she was Li Tingxi's beloved mistress.
Even if they dare not say it openly, the gossip behind the scenes will only become more and more outrageous.
Moreover, with Li Tingxi staying here, she had absolutely no room to move.
"Are you afraid of becoming famous, or do you want to drive me away and then escape?" Li Tingxi saw through her little scheme at a glance. The smile on his face disappeared completely, and he coldly grabbed Su Youling's arm and threatened, "You can run away, but you can't hide. Don't forget what I said before."
They threatened her again, using her mother and friends as leverage!
"Don't worry, who would dare to mess with a powerful and influential figure like you?" Su Youling gritted her teeth, shook off Li Tingxi's hand, picked up her bag, and walked out.
"Where are we going?" Li Tingxi frowned and stopped him.
Su Youling raised her wrist and glanced at the time. "It's time to get off work! Am I, a mere employee, supposed to work 996 every day and exhaust myself for you until I die?"
Watching Su Youling stride away, Li Tingxi pursed his lips unhappily.
It seems she didn't care about those shares at all.
She was still thinking about running away and had absolutely no attachment to this place.
This woman's heart is now as hard as stone.
He took off to chase after him, but then he saw Qin He running over in a hurry.
"President, you need to go back to City A now..." Qin He said breathlessly in a low voice, "Something's happened!"
Li Tingxi's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with fury.
An hour later, Su Youling reluctantly took Li Tingxi to the airport, muttering under her breath, "You're not a three-year-old child, do you need someone to show you the way?"

"
Li Tingxi was much more familiar with B City Airport than she was.
Li Tingxi pinched her nose, both amused and annoyed, and said, "You heartless woman, I came to B City to help you get revenge!"
He paused for a moment, then threatened, "If you make me angry again, believe me, I'll pack you up and take you back with me."
"Yi Tao has just settled down, what are you up to now?" Su Youling took a step back warily. She had been looking forward to Li Tingxi leaving for a long time, and she had to seize the opportunity to prepare for her departure. She couldn't afford to be caught and brought back at this time.
Originally, Li Tingxi only wanted to scare her, but when he saw Su Youling looking like she was facing a formidable enemy, he narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Su Su, don't even think about running away." Li Tingxi pinched her chin and whispered in her ear, "I'm not in B City, but I have plenty of people there. If I find out you're not behaving yourself, you know what the consequences will be."
He was also feeling bad when he said that.
When did he have to resort to such forceful means to keep Su Youling by his side?
He used to look down on such things.
Su Youling really crossed his bottom line inch by inch.
But he actually enjoyed it.
"I know." Su Youling lowered her eyes silently, brushed his hand away, and looked very obedient. "I'm eating well, drinking well, and my career is going well. Why would I need to run around? Don't worry about nothing, unless..."
She looked up at Li Tingxi and said, "What would you do to betray me?"
"I won't." Li Tingxi said firmly, then lowered his head and bit her nose.
With a bite, he said, "Be a good boy. Soon, I'll give you a surprise."
When he returns to City A this time, he will work with the public relations department to prepare a contingency plan and find an opportunity to officially reveal Su Youling's identity, so that neither of them will be left feeling anxious and uncertain.
"Be careful of the Lu family, especially Lu Han." Li Tingxi felt a surge of murderous intent when he thought of the way Lu Han looked at Su Youling. He wished he could tie her up and take her away right now.
That was the look in a man's eyes when he was desperately lusting after a woman.
After Lu Han was beaten, it seemed to have fueled Su Youling's wicked intentions even more.
"Don't worry, didn't you leave bodyguards to protect me?" Su Youling had witnessed the skills of those two bodyguards; they were exceptionally capable.
Although the two men were suspected of spying on her, protecting her safety was their top priority.
"Good to know. Take them with you wherever you go." Li Tingxi hugged Su Youling tightly, somewhat reluctant to part with her.
For some reason, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart after this separation, as if something bad was about to happen.
In the past, he would have taken Su Youling away regardless of her wishes.
Now, he wants to learn to respect Su Youling's wishes and doesn't want to upset her.
"I'm leaving."
Watching Li Tingxi's figure disappear at the boarding gate, Su Youling touched her wet nose with a sense of loss, and remained in a daze for a long time.
Surprised?
That's the kind of romance that belongs between lovers.
How could she possibly have such a pleasant surprise from Li Tingxi?
...
Another week has passed since Li Tingxi left.
While promoting the work of promoting ceramic art, Su Youling secretly seized the time to contact Li Mufeng.
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
In addition to checking on Shen Xiyue's recovery progress, I also told him about the fake death plan.
Mother was right. With Li Tingxi's skills and power, the only way to completely disappear from his world was for her to disappear first.
Only by taking risks can one be reborn.
During this period, Li Mufeng got in touch with Wei Ning through Su Youling's introduction.
The two tech geniuses, like sparks flying, seemed to want to battle each other online every day. Thanks to Wei Ning's prior preparations and Li Mufeng's influence overseas, their collaboration helped Su Youling overcome many obstacles in her escape plan and accelerated its progress.
“Chen Xiyue has been cooperating with the treatment and is recovering well. She was discharged from the hospital today,” Li Mufeng said specifically on the phone. “From what I can tell, she wants to return to China as soon as possible.”
“Li Tingxi has already filed a lawsuit against Shen Cong and his wife and Li Qidong. The trial is imminent. She’s in a hurry to come back because she wants to save her parents.” Su Youling had always disagreed with Shen Cong and his wife. Once her heart turned cold, there was no need to see them again.
She could never forget the absurd reason the couple had abandoned her that night in the underground research lab, and she would never forgive their ridiculous act of wanting to donate their own kidneys to save Shen Xiyue.
But Shen Xiyue would not abandon her parents. She knew very well that she would definitely return to China.
"The best time for me to leave will be when she returns to China." Su Youling said this with some sadness and heartache.
With Li Tingxi keeping such a close eye on her, only Shen Xiyue's personal return can divert his attention.
"It seems you're still somewhat lucid. Don't worry, Wei Ning and I will expedite the plan and try to get you out of their clutches as soon as possible." Li Mufeng had recently exchanged a lot of information with Wei Ning and was fully aware of the drugging of Su Youling at the Yin family's residence. "I've also distributed your portrait and had people help find it. Recently, traces of his activities have been discovered in the country..."
