Chapter 397 Wife, I Was Wrong
Su Youling laughed so hard she almost dropped her spoon. She felt no sympathy for Li Mufeng's plight. Who told him to be so cheeky and go up to Li Tingxi looking for a beating?
"I want more." Li Tingxi was displeased that she was looking in the direction Li Mufeng had left. He grabbed Su Youling's small hand and opened his mouth, waiting to be fed.
Like a big, hungry puppy.
Su Youling couldn't bear to watch. She glanced at Qin He and said, "Assistant Qin, while your boss is still lucid, you should report it now. He might lose his mind later."
She glared at Li Tingxi, then, with a stern face, fed him a mouthful of porridge. "I don't think he's very clear-headed right now; he keeps doing embarrassing things."
Qin He touched his nose, met the president's meaningful and threatening gaze, and turned around awkwardly. "It's okay, President. Eat something first to conserve your energy. I'll call Han Li and the others over now. They'll be waiting to report on their work."
After saying that, he ran away as if fleeing.
Even if the CEO is like a big dog, he can only be seen by his wife.
To others, his lethality is doubled.
Who dares to stay and invite torture?
Seeing Qin He flee in panic, Su Youling raised an eyebrow. "How do you usually mistreat these employees? Qin He has been with you for so many years, and he's still so afraid of you with just a glance?"
“He’s not afraid, he’s just being sensible and not wanting to be a third wheel.” Li Tingxi had just woken up and couldn’t eat much before losing his appetite. He just wanted to find an excuse to be closer to Su Youling. “Wife, you’ve lost so much weight. You’ve had a hard time these past few days.”
"Who's your wife? Speak properly. We haven't reached that point yet, so don't push your luck." Su Youling's expression changed instantly, deliberately using his words, "What kind of good man would put a tracking device in his wife's necklace? Li Tingxi, here you go again, huh?"
Li Tingxi's eyes did indeed look a little guilty. He hadn't expected her to notice so quickly. Feeling a little flustered, he grabbed her hand and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to monitor or control you. It's just that we just made up, and you're going to Atlanta, and you won't let me go with you..."
Seeing Su Youling's increasingly stern gaze, he almost felt guilty and couldn't continue speaking. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to control your whereabouts. I was just afraid that you would go and not come back, and I was also afraid that you would meet that wild man, so I couldn't control myself."
"Wife, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, considering that the tracker did serve a purpose. I promise I will never do such a thing again." Li Tingxi stared intently at Su Youling's expression, afraid of missing even the slightest change in her eyes.
He was using so much force in his hands that he didn't even realize it; the syringe was even drawing blood back out because of the excessive force.
"Li Tingxi, calm down!" Su Youling was startled when she noticed blood returning to the syringe. She quickly pried his fingers apart, not caring about the red marks on her wrist, and frowned as she called for a doctor.
Because Li Tingxi wouldn't let her leave, she could only obediently wait by the bedside, frowning as she scolded, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? If I really blamed you, I wouldn't have waited for you to wake up before calmly communicating with you face to face like this..."
Su Youling leaned down, looking into his deep black eyes. "Li Tingxi, I've said time and again that I would come back. Since I promised to try again with you, I won't go back on my word. Can't you even give me this much trust?"
Li Tingxi lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong. "I promise I won't do it again."
Seeing the lingering red marks on Su Youling's wrist, he suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes filled with regret and self-reproach. "Yes..."

"I'm sorry, Susu! I didn't mean to... Let the doctor take a look at your arm..."
"I'm fine. This arm is just a superficial injury, and it doesn't hurt anymore. Luckily, you didn't pinch this arm that's in a cast."
Seeing his excessive nervousness, Su Youling didn't dare to press him too hard. She took the opportunity to soften her voice, "Security is mutual, Li Tingxi. I promise I won't hide anything from you in the future. As long as you're willing, I'll have a proper discussion with you about our relationship."
If that day ever comes and she and Li Tingxi can definitely stay together, she will tell him the truth about the child's parentage.
But before that, Li Tingxi's illness must be cured.
This is the first step for the two of them to be honest and trust each other. Once this door is opened, she should have more confidence in their future and not be as anxious as she is now.
Without hesitation, Li Tingxi said, "I promise. I'll do anything as long as you don't leave."
"Don't you have any secrets you're hiding from me?" Su Youling looked at him meaningfully, "No matter what happens, I'll face it with you."
She held Li Tingxi's hand in her palm, letting him feel her warmth. "Li Tingxi, although I did agree to be with you because of your coercion, from the moment you rushed to the edge of the rooftop to save me, even if I had many concerns and worries, I don't think we would easily separate again."
Li Tingxi frowned. His first reaction wasn't happiness, nor was it anger; he was just very conflicted. "You're with me because of gratitude?"
Su Youling was amused by his focus, "You used threats and inducements to get me back before, why didn't you care about the purity of our feelings then?"
Feeling guilty, Li Tingxi turned his head away and remained silent for a moment.
Dr. Fang rushed over at this moment, saw that the needle was backflowing blood, scolded both of them, changed the IV drip again, and gave them a long list of precautions.
If Su Youling hadn't stopped him, Li Tingxi would have turned sour again.
"Alright, the doctors are gone, stop staring." Su Youling said irritably, "Dr. Fang is doing this for your own good, why are you being so fierce?"
"He yelled at you first," Li Tingxi said sternly. "It's my own fault for the blood coming back out of the syringe. Why did he yell at you?"
"You know you deserve it, yet you still have the nerve to be so self-righteous?" Su Youling poked his head, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qin He and Han Li standing at the door.
One was used to it, the other was dumbfounded.
In front of outsiders, Su Youling still gave Li Tingxi enough face, and consciously stepped aside, saying, "You guys talk about work first, I..."
She wanted to go back and see her mother and babies, but she had been too busy these past few days to do so, and Yueyue had several emotional outbursts.
If it weren't for sending her short videos of Li Tingxi sleeping every day and video chatting with her, the little girl would have run away from home to visit him in the hospital long ago.
Remembering that the two of them hadn't reached an agreement yet, Li Tingxi immediately grabbed Su Youling's hand, "Su..."
He glanced at Han Li and the other person, then changed his words, "Wife, why don't you stay and keep me company?"
Worried that Su Youling would refuse, Li Tingxi shamelessly said, "Once I start working, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the schedule. The doctor said I can't overwork myself."
Su Youling "..."
Is this even human language?
If you know you shouldn't overwork yourself, can't you be a little more self-aware?
