Chapter 112 Su Su, Trust Me This Once
"It wasn't a dream after all!" Su Youling pinched Li Tingxi's handsome face, looking surprised under his dark expression, and said, "Have you taken the wrong medicine? You want me to love you? Why?"
Li Tingxi was stunned for a moment, "..."
Su Youling is getting more and more eloquent!
He kept asking questions that he couldn't answer immediately.
Judging from his astonished expression, it was clear that he had never considered the reasons behind it and was acting entirely out of his domineering nature. This was truly Li Tingxi's style.
Su Youling pulled down Li Tingxi's feigned affectionate hand, looking at him with even more disdain than she would a scumbag, and calmly said, "Feelings are mutual! Mr. Li, with your extensive experience in the business world, don't you understand the principle of mutual benefit? If you want something, you have to pay the necessary price, otherwise what's the difference between you and someone who gets something for nothing?"
Li Tingxi gripped her hand and brought it to his lips, then suddenly asked in a deep voice, "How do you know I definitely won't like you? If I can offer you the bargaining chip you want, will you fall in love with me?"
Su Youling was stunned, never expecting him to say such a thing.
He had sworn not long ago that he would never fall in love with her!
But now they've put forward such an absurd "what if." To put it bluntly, isn't this just another example of leaders making empty promises?
Li Tingxi really isn't willing to suffer even the slightest loss!
Even though she knew he was playing a trick on her, she couldn't deny that when she heard those words, her heart still raced wildly.
"There are no 'ifs'." Su Youling lowered her eyes, concealing the obvious disappointment in them. "If you cared for me, how could I not feel it?"
"That's because you're heartless, woman!" Li Tingxi didn't expect that even after lowering himself and using such sweet and mushy words, Su Youling would still be so unmoved.
Between them, who is the one who weighs the pros and cons and calculates the gains and losses?
Enraged, Li Tingxi lowered his head and bit her collarbone, this time without holding back any strength, leaving a bright red tooth mark on her collarbone.
The skin was broken and bleeding; it looked quite frightening.
"Li Tingxi, are you a dog?" Su Youling gasped in pain, wishing she could kick him away. She raised her hand to cover her collarbone, her fingertips trembling with pain.
This mother and son must have had a bad day with her!
Li Tingxi pressed his thin lips together, looking at her swollen cheeks and trembling lips, and finally softened. "Can't you just give in a little?"
Their last parting ended badly, and he finally managed to convince himself to back down, only to be met with a devastating shock from her.
For a moment, he really wanted to take Su Youling back, lock her up, and tame her!
But when he calmed down, he knew that if he did that, all his efforts and tolerance during this period would be in vain.
Su Youling should be free and radiant!
He loved seeing her radiant and glowing, as captivating as the sun itself!
"..." Su Youling couldn't help but roll her eyes. Why was it that he was the one who went crazy, the one who lost his temper, the one who got beaten up, and the one who suffered grievances, yet she was the one who had to back down?
Does having the surname Li mean you can be unreasonable?
Seeing her arrogant expression, Li Tingxi looked down at the bloodstains on her collarbone, sighed, and bent down to carry Su Youling back to the lounge.
The medicine he bought last time was still there. Li Tingxi skillfully took out the sterilizer to remove Su Youling's teeth marks, and suddenly said with a whimsical thought, "This teeth mark is very pretty. If it were a tattoo..."
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
"Don't even think about it." Su Youling immediately covered her collarbone, thinking warily, "I've already planned my escape, how could I have ended up leaving behind the marks Li Tingxi left on my body?"
"I'm afraid of pain! If you want a tattoo, go get one yourself."
Li Tingxi's face darkened. "A ruthless person who doesn't even use anesthesia for stitches, and you're telling me you're afraid of pain?"
Su Youling: "...These are two different things."
Thinking that she might have been concerned about Chen Xiyue at that time, Li Tingxi didn't say anything. He had someone buy an ice pack and put it on her face. He was also dissatisfied with his mother's rash behavior today.
"President Li, Zhao Fu instigated your mother to interfere, and Yitao Culture is likely to face another storm." Su Youling didn't want Yitao Culture, which had just started to stabilize, to be thrown into turmoil again. In the end, it would only be the employees who would suffer from the power struggle among the higher-ups.
“You should take over Yitao Culture yourself. Your mother’s sudden visit to B City is clearly aimed at me. Even without Zhao Fu, she wouldn’t have let me off the hook.”
Seeing her calmly analyze the situation, clearly showing that she had no hope for the Li family or any individual within them, Li Tingxi's mood worsened. "Since Yi Tao has been entrusted to you, I will protect you to the end. You don't need to be afraid of anyone, just go for it."
"Even if it means going against your mother?" Su Youling raised her cheek, gently touched the swollen area, and gasped. "If there's a next time, I'll fight back."
Li Tingxi lowered his head and kissed her forehead, as if to assure her, "There won't be a next time!"
Su Youling sighed inwardly. How could Li Tingxi not understand?
She owes her current success to him.
If she had retired early, the powerful figures in the Li family wouldn't have taken a mere Su Youling seriously.
She wanted to say something, but Li Tingxi suddenly cupped her face and gently pressed her down onto the bed, saying earnestly, "Su Su, trust me this once!"
Su Youling stared into his dark eyes, lost in thought.
They've been on the verge of conflict lately, and this brief period of harmony is hard-won.
The two of them embraced quietly like this, without a trace of lust or emotional conflict, as if it were something from a past life.
She didn't want to ruin everything, so she didn't say anything in the end, obediently nodded, buried her head in his arms, and belatedly felt a little wronged.
As if sensing her unusual emotions, Li Tingxi turned over, letting Su Youling lie on his chest like a child, and gently patted her back.
Su Youling pursed her lips, reluctant to get up.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, accompanied by a soft cough.
Su Youling jumped up as if she had been caught in an affair, and in a moment of carelessness, she almost ruined Li Tingxi's manhood...
"Hiss!" Li Tingxi got up and bit her earlobe, saying fiercely, "Are you trying to live the rest of your life as a widow by biting so hard?"
"You're really... shameless!" Su Youling glanced down and quickly covered Li Tingxi with the blanket, her cheeks flushed red.
There was a knock on the door.
Qin He coughed lightly, "President Li, President Su."
"We're not having an affair, why are you so nervous?" Li Tingxi got up unhappily, grabbed Su Youling's hand and squeezed it, while asking Qin He outside the door, "What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this tone, Qin He knew he had probably ruined his boss's plans, so he whispered, "Zhao Xinning has woken up, and the old lady wants you to go to the hospital together."
