Chapter 682 Proposal
Su Youling smiled and said, "Perhaps. Isn't that good?"
She stood up and looked at her new design. "You always said that my work lacked a soul and was always pessimistic, unable to give people positive energy. I'm trying to correct that. Nobody likes darkness; everyone always chases the light."
Le Yixun's emotions plummeted, and she couldn't help but snort, "You're just bewitched. Who would insist on hanging themselves on one tree... a crooked one at that!"
Su Youling hadn't spoken yet.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Li Tingxi knocked on the door and saw the two of them standing very close together; his pupils contracted for a moment.
Su Youling subconsciously took a step back, afraid of provoking him, but little did she know that this subconscious caution only provoked Li Tingxi more.
"Lingling, what are you afraid of him for? We're discussing design openly and honestly, why is he interfering so much? There's a difference between being domineering and being autocratic. Are you sure you can be happy with a man like that?" Le Yixun seized the opportunity to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.
Su Youling glared at him: "Shut up, no one's going to think you're mute."
She had originally intended to walk towards Li Tingxi, but then remembered that she was still angry, so she said indifferently, "What are you doing here? You didn't win the argument earlier, do you want to continue arguing now?"
"Su Su, I've come to pick you up from get off work." Li Tingxi's expression shifted, and he walked over, completely ignoring Le Yixun who was on the way.
“I’ve booked your favorite family-friendly restaurant. I’m planning to take the kids out for a nice meal. We’ve been having seafood every day lately, so I want to give them a change.” He glanced at the children outside. “I just told them, and they were very happy.”
Su Youling was stunned for a moment: "That's it?"
Unexpectedly, Li Tingxi had learned to take a roundabout approach. He didn't say a word of apology, but every word he uttered was full of remorse and was quite sincere.
This is unlike his decisive and domineering style.
"Don't keep the children waiting. They said you barely ate anything." Li Tingxi took her hand, his eyes gentle. "Shall we go?"
Su Youling sighed. Under his gaze, all her anger vanished instantly: "Let's go."
“I want to go too,” Le Yixun immediately retorted, “I wasn’t full either.”
Li Tingxi was prepared and handed him a reservation card for a high-end restaurant: "Young Master Le, we've booked a family-friendly restaurant. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to be my son or grandson. However, you've put in a lot of effort to guide Su Su's design, so this Western restaurant should be perfect for you."
"You!" Yue Yixun almost lost her temper.
"Alright, Yue Qing is home alone. You're the uncle, so be a little more reliable." Su Youling dismissed him directly.
Watching his family get into the car in a flurry, Le Yixun sulked alone outside the door—a crushing defeat in the first battle, the situation was unfavorable.
Just as I was thinking about how to cause trouble, my secretary called, saying anxiously, "Young Master, things are bad! The young master said his stomach hurt and he wasn't feeling well, so I took him to the nearest hospital, and by sheer coincidence, we ran into Miss Mi..."
"What?" Yue Yixun's face darkened. "Isn't she from the administration department? How did she end up in the medical department?"
"Young Master, did you not read the information I gave you carefully? Miss Mi is Professor Richard's last student, comes from a family of doctors, and has exceptional medical talent. She was originally going to help out at the emergency center today, but she unexpectedly ran into Yue Qing..."

The child looks so much like Miss Miwei…
"Alright, enough nonsense!" Le Yixun immediately drove over. "Keep an eye on Le Qing and don't give him a chance to contact Le Songming. I'll be right back."
The grand plan is not yet complete, and we cannot reveal our bargaining chip, Mi Orange.
...
When Su Youling arrived at the restaurant, she discovered that it was booked out entirely, with only her family inside and out. The environment was quiet and loving.
As soon as Xingxing and Yueyue came in, they went straight to the amusement area and had a blast. They didn't sit down until the food was served, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Despite being described as a family-friendly restaurant, the tables are adorned with fresh roses and romantic candles, and each dish has a beautiful and evocative name.
It looks exactly like a couple's set meal.
"The way you're acting..." Su Youling put down her fork and looked at Li Tingxi, "Are you going to propose?"
Before Li Tingxi could react, Yangyang was caught off guard and choked, looking at Su Youling with a reproachful expression: "Mom, can't you be a little more romantic?"
Su Youling was speechless and said innocently, "You guys are being too obvious. I can't even pretend to be blind. It's an insult to my intelligence."
"..." Yangyang was completely speechless and suddenly felt a little sorry for Li Tingxi.
At this moment, Li Tingxi suddenly waved to the children: "Yangyang, take your younger siblings to play for a while. I want to talk to Mom alone."
"Okay." Without saying another word, Yangyang took the two little ones away.
Seeing his serious expression, Su Youling inexplicably sat up straight, took a sip of red wine with some nervousness, and looked around, unsure of where to look.
"Su Su, I'm sorry." Li Tingxi apologized sincerely. "I didn't mean it that way at the hospital... Even if I were a gambler, I would never gamble with you."
"you……"
“But I understand what you mean.” Li Tingxi was faster than her. “I’ve contacted Dr. Xia. She’ll be back in China in half a month, and she’s already sent me the preliminary treatment plan.”
"You contacted her as soon as you got back? Did we have a fight?" Su Youling was surprised, only then realizing why he had sent the children away.
“No, because you and the children are very worried about me.” Li Tingxi finally opened up to Su Youling. “I admit that I used to treat my illness as self-punishment. Even though you have returned to me with the children, I still have a shackle in my heart and can never forgive myself for what I did back then.”
"Now, Shen Xiyue is reaping what she sowed, Li Qidong deserves what he got, and the Li family has been cleaned up. Everything that stood between us back then has disappeared, but I still haven't let myself go. Before, I once told myself—you will leave again without looking back because of this cowardly and morbid self I hide in my heart."
Su Youling moved her lips slightly, "Why would you think that?"
“Yes, why? I’ve asked myself that question many times, during countless sleepless nights, when I couldn’t control my emotions.” Li Tingxi gave a bitter smile. “On the island, I saw how worried you were, and you were indeed determined to get treatment out of fear, but taking the first step was too difficult.”
"At one point, I didn't even want to come back. I just wanted to stay on the island and live happily with my family. I never wanted to be a top CEO. From childhood to adulthood, no one cared about what I truly wanted. All I got was what they wanted to give me."
