Chapter 405 The Love Novice Gets a Taste of Love
Karina's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded emphatically. "Thank you."
As she turned around, she glanced at Rebecca's silent figure out of the corner of her eye, and a provocative smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Ultimately, Li Tingxi still had some feelings for her.
Whatever those feelings were, they held a certain place in his heart.
She didn't lose completely.
After turning the corner, Karina quietly made a phone call. "Help me find out who that Rebecca is, and whether...is she related to Su Youling?"
She was communicating secretly and didn't notice a furtive figure lurking around the corner, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if scanning her.
...
In the garden.
Su Youling watched Karina's figure disappear, her eyes flashing.
"Su Su?" Seeing her stern face, Li Tingxi unconsciously swallowed nervously. "I was just showing normal concern, I didn't mean anything else."
"I didn't say anything, why are you already feeling guilty?" Su Youling looked at Li Tingxi with a half-smile, then suddenly bent down to look into his eyes. "Li Tingxi, how exactly did you and Karina meet? The way she looks at you can't be described with just a few words like 'tender affection'."
Li Tingxi's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed her hand, looked up, and earnestly told her everything about how he met Karina.
Like a primary school student being punished to copy homework, facing the teacher with a devout and cautious expression, afraid that if he said a word wrong, he would be doomed.
“That’s about it. I haven’t lied a single word.” Li Tingxi carefully observed Su Youling’s expression. “Su Su, I do feel guilty towards Karina… After your accident, for a long time, I was in a daze except for work, which was the only way I could numb myself.”
“Karina was born prematurely, and the baby is weak. It’s all a tragedy caused by my carelessness. I’m not a saint, but I can’t remain indifferent.” He lowered his eyes, concealing the deep, intense light in them. “I don’t believe in fate! In the time since I lost you, I’ve always worried that I did something wrong and that the punishment will fall on your head.”
Especially when he discovered that the real target of the kidnapping was actually himself, he was filled with remorse, thinking only that he had implicated Su Youling, making her a scapegoat of fate, and ending up with no remains...
He undeniably became timid, acting more cautiously, not wanting to leave any 'resentment' for Su Youling because of his mistakes.
"Is that so?" Su Youling hadn't expected the events to be so convoluted. In particular, although Li Tingxi's words were brief, she was able to connect them with his condition to imagine how dangerous the situation must have been.
If Li Tingxi hadn't reacted quickly, it could have been a tragic end with two unborn children and three lives lost.
If Karina was truly an innocent victim from the beginning, then Li Tingxi's tolerance and kindness over the years are indeed understandable.
However, she always felt that something was wrong.
"Have you looked into Karina's background?" Su Youling asked casually. "Such an outstanding returnee with exceptional abilities, and a mysterious single mother, her story must be complicated, right?"
Li Tingxi's heart skipped a beat, and he grasped Su Youling's small hand tightly in his palm. "You suspect that Karina has a problem?"
"Without any evidence..." Su Youling hadn't finished speaking when she said...
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Then Li Tingxi said with a serious expression, "Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, I trust your intuition."
Especially after Su Su returned to China this time, Karina exposed many problems that he had not noticed before, which made people suspicious.
At first, he only thought that Karina was colluding with the old man for personal gain, and gradually their contact faded away.
But thinking back to the strange things that happened at the hospital that day, Su Su couldn't have suspected Karina without a reason; there must be another reason...
“I checked her background back then, and it was very clean.” Li Tingxi pondered for a moment and said coldly, “But if she really has a problem, the cleaner her resume is, the bigger the problem is.”
In fact, if Karina hadn't changed her mind for some reason, she might have been carrying the weight of a four-year-long conspiracy!
"Don't worry, I'll find out before she leaves." Li Tingxi was a man of action, so he immediately called Qin He and asked him to thoroughly investigate Karina's background.
Su Youling was surprised that he had no suspicions at all and was completely on her side. Thinking back to Karina's look just now, she felt a strange mix of emotions.
Li Tingxi has really changed a lot.
This change was entirely due to her alone.
She endured so much hardship and suffering back then to become the Li Tingxi she is today.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few familiar-looking nurses gossiping not far away.
"I still can't quite believe it. This is the legendary 'double strong couple'! Li Tingxi and Rebecca are so loving. They've been inseparable these past few days."
"I heard that Dr. Fang had issued a critical condition notice. If Li Tingxi hadn't woken up within 48 hours, he would probably have become a vegetable. It was Rebecca who somehow managed to create a miracle."
"Li Tingxi is the best man in the world, okay? If someone is willing to risk their life for me, I would be willing to die for him, let alone stay by his bedside to talk to him."
"Rebecca is so lucky to have Li Tingxi's wholehearted love. I heard that he clings to Rebecca even when he's working, which is nothing like the aloof and domineering CEO that people say he is."
"One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade. I used to be a huge fan of Li Tingxi and Su Youling, and I dug up countless stories about them. Li Tingxi was so cold and ruthless at first. Even after marrying Su Youling, he didn't stop having affairs. He even kept a mistress at the company and made things difficult for Su Youling at every turn..."
Listening to the explanation from the C-fan, the others couldn't help but sigh.
"If that's really the case, Su Youling is too pitiful! She risked her life to awaken Li Tingxi's love, but her good husband was taken home and enjoyed by someone who has her face... If I were her, I would be turning in my grave, probably so angry that I would vomit blood."
Hearing this explanation, Su Youling, who was eavesdropping behind a big tree, suddenly froze. The huge rock of estrangement that had been looming over her mind suddenly became clear.
Isn't that right?
It took her several years of marriage and nearly her life to finally open the heart of Li Tingxi, this heartless and clueless romantic idiot.
If she were to simply walk away now, there would be plenty of other women like Karina who would be eager to take her home, enjoy her maturity and affection, and have children with her.
Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?
