Chapter 378 The sentiment must be there
So many scars!
Some of them look very dark and new!
How long did he torment himself in the dead of night?
She raised her hand, wanting to slap Li Tingxi's leg, but couldn't bring herself to lower it. Gritting her teeth, she covered Li Tingxi with the blanket.
When I stood up, my legs went weak and I almost fell back down.
As if sensing something, Li Tingxi suddenly turned over and placed his sticky big hand on her arm.
Su Youling's arm was covered in sweat.
She stared at Li Tingxi for a moment, noticing that his brows were still unconsciously furrowed in his sleep, and then let out a long sigh.
Su Youling took off her shoes and lay down on the bed, took his hand and placed it on her waist, then gently patted his back, saying, "Sleep peacefully, I'll watch over you."
As if comforted by her, Li Tingxi's brows relaxed in no time, and his breathing became steady.
I slept soundly for days.
Su Youling was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
She opened her eyes, not knowing where she was, and instinctively groped for her phone to answer. "Wenxi? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Don't you know what time it is! Lunchtime is over, why aren't you back to pack your things?" Wen Xi frowned, sensing something was amiss. "Does Li Tingxi know you're leaving and won't let you go?"
"I haven't told him he's sick yet." Su Youling then remembered where she was, raised her hand to touch her side, and found it was already cold.
It seems that Li Tingxi has been awake for quite some time, while she is sleeping even more soundly than the patient.
Looking at the time, it was too close to the afternoon boarding time.
Unless you rush back now to pack your bags...
It's too rushed.
She hasn't told Li Tingxi yet.
After what happened last night, her mindset has subtly changed—her immediate thought is that she needs to seriously explain the matter of leaving to Li Tingxi.

To be clear, so that he won't overthink it.
"I'll miss my afternoon flight." Su Youling searched for tickets and immediately said, "Help me rebook a flight to Atlanta tonight. Business class is not available, economy class is fine too."
"Tsk tsk, you don't even care about the kids anymore when your man gets sick, huh?" Wen Xi snorted. "The kids are definitely waiting for you to come back, and you just delayed for several hours because of your man, letting them down?"
"Stop joking, I have my own plans." Su Youling thought for a moment and smiled, "This way we'll still have time to buy some local specialties to take back. My mom has been craving the flavors of her hometown for a long time, but she can't come back right now, so I'll bring her more authentic hometown products."
"Anyway, you'll have your reasons, so I'll change my ticket." Wen Xi was stubborn but soft-hearted. "Spend more time with Li Tingxi. I'll help you pack your luggage to save you time."
"Thanks." Su Youling hung up the phone, and a plaintive sigh suddenly sounded behind her, "Are you going back to Atlanta today?"
Turning around, Su Youling was startled to see Li Tingxi's resentful and dissatisfied eyes. She glared at him angrily and said, "Are you trying to scare me to death? Don't you care?"
"When I opened my eyes this morning and saw that you had stayed with me all night, I was actually quite happy. I thought you finally remembered I missed you." Li Tingxi got up and walked to Su Youling's side, hugging her tightly. "I didn't expect you to come and tell me—you're leaving!"
That tone, like a resentful woman confined to her boudoir, probably means he's been playing out some kind of terrifying little movie in his head, simulating the scene of her abandoning him hundreds of times.
"Stop! Li Daiyu, stop your wild imagination." Su Youling knelt on the bed, poked his forehead, and explained earnestly, "Baby..."
The kids miss me so much. Over the years, even though I've been busy with work, I've rarely been separated from them for this long, especially from such a long distance across borders.
"After this project ended, I had planned from the beginning to go back to Atlanta to see the children and my mother. If it weren't for celebrating with the team yesterday, I probably would have flown away earlier."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was going to tell you from the beginning, so I came to see you last night. I never expected that someone who is a domineering CEO and all-powerful outside could be so stupid as to faint in bed when he's alone. I took care of you all night and I'm exhausted."
Hearing her angry and reproachful expression, Li Tingxi's heart stirred. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, gently caressing them as a tender reward.
As their breaths mingled, their doubts and anxieties instantly subsided.
"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Su Youling pushed Li Tingxi away, her expression somewhat disgusted. "Aren't you disgusted?"
“You’re the cleanest.” Li Tingxi carried Su Youling to the bathroom. “I’ve squeezed out the toothpaste. Brush your teeth first, then come down for dinner.”
A look of eager anticipation flickered in his eyes, piquing Su Youling's interest. "You didn't make this yourself, did you?"
Li Tingxi nodded proudly, "I practiced for a long time for you. Try it later and I'll continue to improve if there's anything wrong. From now on, we'll be living together, so we need to pay extra attention to what the children eat. When we're busy, we'll hire a pediatric nutritionist and a chef to prepare meals, and when we're not busy, we'll cook children's meals together."
He had already envisioned his married life, and naturally included Su Youling and the children in his future plans.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Su Youling didn't refute, but shooed Li Tingxi downstairs, her mind still preoccupied with how to talk to him about seeking medical treatment...
For Li Tingxi, this was a major issue involving his dignity and bottom line, and he was likely to be rejected, or even face...

He reacted strongly, so I couldn't rush to speak at this moment.
Let's wait until we get back and then have a serious talk with him.
After making up her mind, Su Youling went downstairs to have breakfast.
Li Tingxi even arranged the food on a plate, making it look delicious and appealing.
Su Youling took a bite of the side dish and looked at him with some surprise. "It's actually pretty good. You've become an apprentice?"
"Self-taught."
“However, these flavors are all very bland, not your kind of thing, right?” Su Youling raised an eyebrow. Neither Li Tingxi nor she had particularly strong tastes, but they definitely didn’t like bland flavors.
“Children shouldn’t eat too much oily food. We need to be extra careful with the ingredients and seasonings. Let’s get used to it first.” Li Tingxi put some other dishes on her plate. “I’ve practiced many times following the steps in the recipe. Once you get used to it, it tastes pretty good.”
Su Youling suddenly put down her chopsticks and grabbed Li Tingxi's hand. "Don't just keep me busy. You just recovered from your fever, so you should eat something light and rest properly. Don't wait until I come back from Atlanta and you're still sickly. Don't turn into a delicate flower like Daiyu."
"I'll listen to you." Li Tingxi's eyes lit up. Feeling her concern made him even happier and more excited than closing a multi-million dollar contract.
"Eat more, and we'll go shopping together later to buy some local specialties for Mom and the kids. Also, what about those figurines that Yueyue mentioned in the video last time..." Li Tingxi hesitated for a moment, as figurines, a term from the world of anime and manga, were somewhat unfamiliar to someone his age.
"Don't listen to her blackmail. She has countless figurines and dolls at home. The little girl is fickle and doesn't tolerate it." Su Youling wanted Li Tingxi to take good care of himself.
But he clearly didn't appreciate it, and his face turned unhappy. "You don't intend to take me back with you, but my feelings must be appreciated."
