Chapter 441 My Feelings for You Are Not Pure
Su Youling knew this was not someone to be trifled with, so she showed her patience and nodded good-naturedly: "It was my oversight, but I came here today not just to talk to you about tigers. In fact, I'm quite curious about you as well."
"Oh? Is it because of Brother Tingxi?" Qin Yaoruo said with a knowing look and a half-smile, "You feel threatened because of me?"
The ambiguous tone was not without a provocative element.
You should know that she has never lacked boys who like her since kindergarten. She is used to being proud and arrogant, and she believes that no man can resist being captivated by her charm.
However, Li Tingxi slapped her in the face hard.
It wouldn't be too much to stir up trouble in front of Su Youling now, would it?
Su Youling didn't deny it, but looked at her seriously and said in a serious tone, "I wasn't worried before I came. I was just curious. But after seeing you in person, it's hard not to suspect that Li Tingxi is lying to me. After all, even I, a woman, can't help but be moved by a beautiful woman as vibrant as you."
The confident expression on her face was undeniable, and Qin Yaoruo felt a sudden flush of heat, almost losing her composure.
She straightened her crooked body slightly, letting out a soft snort: "That's why I said Li Tingxi is blind, otherwise how could he have refused me?"
"But let's be honest, don't think I'll be easily swayed by a few nice words and let you do whatever you want to me," Qin Yaoruo said, her expression turning serious, her eyes full of doubt as she looked at Su Youling. "Why should I believe you really have the ability to catch a tiger?"
The assassination attempt had become a recurring nightmare for her over the years. Not a day went by that she didn't want to find the damned culprit, and she never stopped investigating, but all her efforts came to nothing.
So when she first heard from Qin He that they had found out the tiger's whereabouts, she was overjoyed.
However, given Su Youling's seemingly helpless appearance, how could she possibly convince her?
"I don't trust you. Even Li Tingxi couldn't do it, so how can you guarantee me anything?" Qin Yaoruo closed her eyes, recalling the harrowing scene of her assassination attempt years ago, and that chilling feeling returned.
She couldn't help but shiver, and when she opened her eyes again, they were as cold as if they were covered in frost.
Su Youling noticed that she unconsciously clenched her arms, a subconscious expression of fear. However, compared to fear, the hatred buried deep in her eyes was also hard to quell.
Thinking of Qin He's words, she knew that what Qin Yaoruo probably needed was a guarantee of her personal safety.
Having made up her mind, Su Youling stepped forward, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her. As she tilted her head, her aura was fully unleashed. "You know Li Tingxi's abilities better than anyone. Do you think I could have pulled off a clever escape right under his nose five years ago and now establish myself in City A as Rebecca? Would I not have had this kind of skill?"
Qin Yaoruo was stunned for a moment, staring at Su Youling who suddenly seemed like a different person. In a daze, she even thought she was seeing another Li Tingxi.
Yes, someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Tingxi is certainly not a simple woman who can't even kill a chicken.
She pursed her lips, took the water glass, and remained silent for a moment.
Su Youling stared intently at her, then slowly placed a hand on her shoulder, promising, "I know you want this tiger to be caught even more than I do. You're the only one who's ever seen the tiger's true face. Our plan is just one step away from completion. Qin He won't let you risk your life, especially..."

Moreover, Li Tingxi is there to back them up.
“Even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Li Tingxi’s abilities,” she said, tightening her grip on Qin Yaoruo’s shoulder as if to instill confidence in her. “I will never let anything happen to you, Qin Yaoruo. I will definitely help you capture the tiger alive, avenge your great grudge, and end this long-standing nightmare.”
Qin Yaoruo's eyes unexpectedly met hers, and for a moment she felt a strange sense of security. She nodded as if possessed: "I promise to help you."
Seeing the smile on Su Youling's face, and realizing that she had already spoken, she coughed twice and quickly added, "However, I have a condition."
"Um?"
Qin Yaoruo rolled her eyes: "I can't stand you and Li Tingxi showing affection in front of me, so you two should keep a low profile when I'm around."
Su Youling couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She knew in her heart that Qin Yao's ability to say it so frankly was enough to prove her honesty and integrity.
Qin He felt particularly troubled when she mentioned her younger sister. In her opinion, Qin Yaoruo was clearly too cute, and her bold and passionate personality was especially to her liking.
The two reached an agreement, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Qin Yaoruo, now completely different from her haughty demeanor when she first met Su Youling, poured out her grievances to her: "So, how exactly did you melt Li Tingxi, this iceberg that never melts?"
It's worth noting that Qin Yaoruo's first romantic setback was because of Li Tingxi. She vividly remembers how Li Tingxi said some harsh words, which made her lose face. She immediately retaliated, mocking Li Tingxi for not being a normal man and deserving to be alone for the rest of his life.
It's unclear whether these words provoked him, but they led him to turn around and seek out the woman named Shen Xiyue.
She didn't know much about what happened between Li Tingxi and Shen Xiyue, but she disliked Shen Xiyue very much.
So when she learned that Su Youling had taken her place, she secretly felt relieved.
Because she couldn't get Qin He, this loyal and stubborn man, to open his mouth, she had been dying of curiosity about Li Tingxi's love life over the years. Now that she had the chance to ask him, she couldn't resist satisfying her gossip cravings.
The conversation gradually veered off course, and the two women became increasingly animated in their conversation.
Su Youling, unable to contain her gossip-loving nature any longer, tentatively asked Qin Yaoruo and Yan Qinghe about their relationship: "You and that Actor Yan are quite unusual. You two were together when the camera malfunctioned..."
Qin Yaoruo never expected that she would shoot herself in the foot. Recalling everything that had happened with Yan Qinghe in the room, her face flushed. She cleared her throat awkwardly and glanced at Su Youling guiltily: "Was it that obvious?"
"Don't forget I've been there. You two are practically exchanging flirtatious glances, aren't you?" Su Youling, who rarely gets into fangirling, was naturally not going to let her off easily and was determined to get to the bottom of things.
Adhering to the principle of reciprocity, Qin Yaoruo told Yan Qing about her previous entanglement.
Su Youling's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this, unable to suppress the excitement in her voice: "Then isn't he chasing after you to appear on this dating reality show?"
Qin Yaoruo pouted: "You're overthinking it..."
"Outsiders see things more clearly. I can guarantee that Actor Yan has ulterior motives towards you..."
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't realize how much time had passed before Xia Zhiying knocked on the door to remind them.
