Chapter 510 Playing the Opposite
"We'll talk about everything after Yangyang is cured." Su Youling looked at the man's unpredictable expression. "Right now, nothing is more important to me than my child's health."
Li Tingxi swallowed back all the words he wanted to say, and finally only let out a soft sigh: "Okay."
Both of them knew in their hearts that they were only temporarily putting aside their inner conflicts for Yangyang's sake, and the real problem was far from being solved.
Su Youling got off the sofa, slipped on her slippers, and prepared to go upstairs.
Li Tingxi suddenly called out to her, walked over and handed her the essential oil he had gotten from Xia Zhiying, saying casually, "You seem to have been suffering from insomnia lately. This essential oil was given to me by Li Mufeng's fiancée, Xia Zhiying. It should work for you."
Su Youling was surprised that he actually accepted what Xia Zhiying gave him, but she knew that it must have been made by Xia Zhiying specifically for his condition.
Knowing this was a good opportunity to create a chance for him and Xia Zhiying to get close, she took it and smelled it. The next second, she frowned and refused, saying, "I don't think I can stand this smell."
Li Tingxi immediately said, "Then I'll ask Li Mufeng for help. I'll have his fiancée customize one that you like. Just tell me what your requirements are."
He made no mention of having Xia Zhiying's contact information.
Su Youling nodded, but didn't say that she could ask Li Mufeng for Xia Zhiying's contact information to chat with her privately.
Their thoughts, though initially separate, coincided at this moment.
...
The way Li Tingxi and Su Youling got along became more harmonious, and Yangyang keenly noticed this and her attitude towards Li Tingxi also changed.
The most obvious change is that he no longer rejects Li Tingxi's attempts to get close. Although his occasional awkward gestures show that he hasn't fully accepted Li Tingxi yet, Li Tingxi sees this as a positive development.
He became increasingly motivated, tirelessly inquiring about the hobbies and habits of the three children, Su Hong and Su Youling, and going to great lengths to please them.
He even humbled himself to ask Rebecca, the children's godmother, for advice. Even though Rebecca didn't give him a warm welcome, he still asked her for advice, citing her experience of watching the children grow up.
Yangyang and Xingxing were gradually won over by him. Even when they were alone with him, there was no longer any awkward silence. Their conversations were always engaging and back-and-forth. Yangyang and Xingxing would also occasionally express their curiosity about him and ask him questions.
Li Tingxi was overjoyed and showed them unprecedented patience, answering every question they asked.
Only Yueyue, who initially adored Li Tingxi and constantly called him "handsome uncle," showed unusual resistance towards him.
Li Tingxi never expected that the little girl he thought was the easiest to win over would be so hard to coax when she turned cold. He tried all sorts of ways to tempt her with food, but nothing worked. He was at a loss.
Su Youling also realized that something was wrong with her daughter. Even if she was just sulking, it had lasted for too long. She was not the type to hold grudges.
So Su Youling naturally shifted the blame to Li Tingxi: "You must have done something outrageous to make Yueyue hate you so much. You have to take care of your own daughter; I can't help you."
"..." Li Tingxi originally wanted her to help him, but now that she had shut him down with one sentence, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.
Because Professor Richard couldn't be contacted for the time being,

Before formal treatment begins, Yangyang's basic treatment cannot be stopped, so they brought the entire expert team with them on this trip.
On this day, Yangyang had a rare lack of severe reaction after his treatment. Perhaps due to the influence of his emotions, his appetite had been quite good recently.
Li Tingxi then took the opportunity to suggest taking the children out camping to relax.
Su Youling had no objections, and Yangyang and Xingxing also seemed interested, so everyone looked at Yueyue, who was pursing her lips and not saying a word.
Yueyue glanced quickly at Li Tingxi, then shook her head against her will, refusing, "Yueyue won't go."
After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Su Youling with her big, dark eyes. Her meaning was clear: she was encouraging Su Youling to join her in opposing Li Tingxi.
Su Youling ignored the little girl's frantic hints and sighed with regret: "That's such a pity. It seems that Uncle Li has prepared a huge surprise. But since Yueyue doesn't want to go, you can stay at home and wait for us to come back. Mom will bring you some delicious food."
Yueyue was incredulous, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, and she looked at Su Hong and Rebecca with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Unfortunately, no one cooperated with her.
Seeing everyone getting dressed and packing their things, and everyone ignoring her loneliness, the little girl couldn't hold back any longer.
However, out of consideration for her pride, she remained silent.
When everyone left, the little girl followed Su Youling silently, and after Su Youling got into the car, she jumped into her arms.
Everyone tried to suppress their laughter at the sight, and even Li Tingxi couldn't help but lose control of his expression.
But Yueyue paid special attention to his reaction. Seeing the undisguised smile in his eyes, she awkwardly buried her blushing face in Su Youling's arms.
Seeing this, Li Tingxi immediately came to the girl's rescue: "It's a good thing that Yueyue was willing to give Uncle Li face, otherwise the surprise that Uncle specially prepared for you would not have been able to be delivered."
Although Yueyue tried to avoid looking at him, when she heard that the surprise was for her, she couldn't help but smile as she nestled in Su Youling's arms.
However, she still remembered that she was currently in a "cold war" with Li Tingxi, so she deliberately snorted and muttered, "Yueyue doesn't care."
She was actually dying of curiosity.
Su Youling was too lazy to expose her daughter's hypocrisy, and she was very much looking forward to how Li Tingxi would coax the little girl to be happy.
The group arrived at a seaside park in St. Petersburg in a stretched Bentley. After spreading out a picnic blanket on the lawn, they divided the tasks and got everything ready.
There's a place to rent barbecue grills right here. With more people, the work gets done faster. By the time Li Tingxi came back, everyone had already skewered all the vegetables and meats they had prepared before setting off.
When the barbecue started sizzling and dripping with oil, Yueyue, who was sitting next to me, was already drooling with envy.
Li Tingxi placed the first skewer of grilled meat onto her plate, his ingratiating tone quite obvious: "Yueyue, quickly help your uncle taste it and see how it tastes? It's your uncle's first time grilling meat, can you tell me if there's anything you can improve?"
Yueyue couldn't help but swallow hard because of the aroma, but she still forced herself to return the skewers to Li Tingxi, refusing in a very haughty manner: "No, I want to eat the ones I grilled myself!"
Li Tingxi wasn't disappointed. He shamelessly ran up behind her and said with a smile, "How about Uncle teaches you?"
