Chapter 535 The Rival's Visit
When Su Youling learned from the maid that he was waiting outside the door, her first reaction was that she absolutely could not let Li Tingxi see him.
Last time at the club, she and Feng Anhuai were just having normal work-related interactions, but Li Tingxi still misunderstood them. If Li Tingxi sees someone else in her home again, she won't be able to explain herself.
Su Youling had a headache just thinking about how her relationship with Li Tingxi had plummeted to rock bottom recently. She couldn't care less about her work and immediately went downstairs to see him.
Feng Anhuai was taken aback when he saw that she had actually come out to see him.
Shortly after Su Youling left, Yueyue, realizing she was missing, panicked and immediately dragged Xingxing along to look for her.
Su Youling was finally home today, and the rest of them had already discussed how to keep her here and create an opportunity for Li Tingxi to spend time alone with her.
So right now they are naturally very afraid of letting someone escape.
Fortunately, the maid told us that Su Youling hadn't gone out; someone had come to her claiming to have work-related matters to discuss.
Xingxing and Yueyue quickly greeted Yangyang and then ran downstairs to check the situation.
The two even took a detour and went out through the back door, where they saw Su Youling talking to a tall man at the gate from afar.
Because they were afraid of being discovered by Su Youling, they didn't dare to get too close. From this angle, they could only see that the man was quite tall, and they could vaguely see the outline of his profile and that he was wearing glasses.
Although she couldn't hear what he and Su Youling were saying, Yueyue could clearly sense one thing: this unfamiliar uncle was staring intently at her mother, and he must be interested in her!
The little girl suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and then she heard Xingxing make an ambiguous comment from the side that the man was very tall and seemed to be very familiar with Su Youling and had a good relationship with her.
She immediately frowned and retorted in a low voice, "This uncle is definitely not as tall, strong, or handsome as Uncle Li!"
Xingxing nodded unconsciously, secretly agreeing. However, he quickly realized that Yueyue was staring angrily at the man in front of Su Youling. He couldn't help but tease her, "I remember you said not long ago that you hated Uncle Li the most. How come you're saying all the good things about Uncle Li now? Do you like Uncle Li or hate him?"
When Yueyue was asked that question, an awkward and embarrassed expression quickly crept onto her little face. When she looked up and met his teasing gaze, her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish in anger. "I hate you the most right now, you silly star!"
As she spoke, she clenched her little fist and punched Xingxing's arm, her little face scrunching up again. "Aren't you worried at all that Mommy will be taken away by someone else? If... I have to choose, I'd rather it be Uncle Li."
Although she hasn't forgiven Uncle Li yet, she doesn't want her mother to be with another uncle. Although Uncle Li sometimes makes her mother sad, he is still their biological father no matter what.
Thinking of this, Yueyue's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and her little face flushed slightly.
Xingxing saw it all, but didn't point it out to accommodate her little bit of pride.
His thoughts coincided with Yueyue's. Rebecca's godmother had said that only a biological father would truly love their child; other uncles, no matter how much they liked them...

Even a mother can't be completely devoted to them.
He then smiled and gently pinched Yueyue's nose, "Silly Yueyue, you said Uncle Li is even better, do you think our mother would be so blind as to let someone else steal her away?"
"Who's trying to kidnap Mommy?" Yangyang's voice rang out from behind him.
Both Yueyue and Xingxing were startled.
Yueyue quickly pulled Yangyang down to squat down, nervously covered his mouth, and then pointed towards the front door, lowering her voice like a thief: "Look, that's the uncle who's talking to Mommy. He's come to the door, so he must like Mommy!"
The little girl nodded firmly, her expression turning serious as she looked at him with a troubled expression. "Yangyang, you're the smartest, can you think of a way? I don't want him to take Mom away!"
Just then, Feng Anhuai at the front door turned slightly, and Yangyang was able to see his face clearly when she looked over. The next second, she unconsciously frowned.
He originally wanted to tell Yueyue that this was just her own guess, that not every uncle who approached Su Youling was interested in her, and that it was even less likely that he would try to take Su Youling away.
However, even he could see through Feng Anhuai's affectionate gaze, and the words he intended to use to comfort Yueyue stuck in his throat.
Li Tingxi has been too good to them lately, so good that he sometimes can't help but think that having a father is actually much better than he imagined.
In particular, he had heard Xingxing and Yueyue vividly describe how Li Tingxi protected them and Su Youling that day, and how Li Tingxi even severely reprimanded and warned Ye Qing for using his illness as a threat.
He was deeply moved after hearing this, and afterwards he could no longer act as indifferent as he had at the beginning when he saw Li Tingxi.
In fact, it wasn't just him; Xingxing and Yueyue had also gradually lowered their guard around Li Tingxi without realizing it... It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, after all, Grandma had said that Mom couldn't belong to the three of them forever; she also needed protection and care, which was clearly not something they could do yet.
"You're right, we can't let him take Mom away," Yangyang murmured.
"Huh?" Yueyue thought she had misheard. After confirming that he agreed with her, she happily took his arm and looked at him with bright eyes. "So Yangyang, what should we do now to get rid of that uncle?"
...
At this moment, Feng Anhuai felt a chill run down his spine as he stood in the wind, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Rebecca, why don't you invite me in for a cup of hot tea? We can sit down and chat." Seeing that Su Youling was hesitant to let him in and even led him to stand on the other side of the door, he couldn't resist and shamelessly took the initiative to ask.
Upon hearing this, Su Youling refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, it's probably inconvenient. I don't have the habit of discussing business at home. Actually, you didn't need to come all the way here today."
Just kidding. Even though Li Tingxi isn't home right now, if she really dares to bring Feng Anhuai home, Li Tingxi might think she's deliberately provoking him.
The misunderstanding from last time hasn't been cleared up yet, and coupled with her recent busy work schedule, her relationship with Li Tingxi has been strained for a while. She's not foolish enough to add fuel to the fire and dig a hole for herself at this time.
