She wanted to bury her head in his arms again, but he held her head and stopped her.

Li Tingshen gathered her hair and wiped it with a towel. Ye Qingqiu allowed him to wipe her hair obediently. She lowered her head unintentionally and her face turned red.

She subconsciously reached out to cover her chest as Li Tingshen chuckled. Isnt it a little too late to realize it now?

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips but didnt let go of her collar.

After taking a shower, she only wore Li Tingshens white s.h.i.+rt. At this moment, it was completely bare inside. However, her hair had been dripping with water just now, causing the white s.h.i.+rt on her chest to be drenched. Now that the s.h.i.+rt was sticking to her skin, it almost exposed all the glory on it.

The shape was completely revealed.

You you saw it long ago?

Li Tingshen threw the towel on the armrest of the sofa and his gaze swept across her chest brazenly. You keep saying that you want to give birth to my child. Youre always so open-minded as if youre experienced, but in reality, you look like you want to find a hole to hide in, let alone

He paused and pursed his lips. An evil look appeared on his face.

Youre trembling in fear after touching me.

Ye Qingqiu wanted to calm herself down, but when she heard this, she couldnt help but blush.

She knew that the touch he mentioned was when she was at the hospital this morning.

Im not used to it.

Li Tingshen didnt say anything and turned on the hairdryer.

Ye Qingqiu stood in front of him and fiddled with the collar of his casual s.h.i.+rt. Youre so sincere today. Do you think youve gone overboard this time?

Li Tingshen ran his fingers through her dry hair without stopping.

How am I overboard? What I said is the truth. If you dont want to see me, I wont appear in front of you easily. Theres probably no man who can satisfy you more than me.

Ye Qingqiu paused and looked at him. I said I dont want to see you. You didnt even give me a call or message?

Will you reply to my call or message?

No, Ye Qingqiu said without hesitation, her tone full of anger.

Li Tingshen pursed his lips.

Not necessarily. Ye Qingqiu continued, You didnt even do it. How do you know that I wont care about you? Whether I care about you or not is different.

After a pause, she frowned again. Did you do anything wrong? Why are you suddenly so nice to me today

Li Tingshen frowned slightly. What do you think I will do to please you like today?

Ye Qingqiu rolled her eyes. Woman? You found another woman behind my back?

The only sound on the balcony was the sound of the hairdryer.

Li Tingshens silence made Ye Qingqiu more worried. Dont tell me you really have another woman?

Turning off the hairdryer, Li Tingshen looked at her and said calmly, So what you mean is that if I really have another woman, I can gain your forgiveness with this level of flattery?

Ye Qingqius face turned cold. You think thats fine?

To me, the limit of tolerance for women is to choose one. If its not you, it must be the other one. Therefore, if I really choose another woman, I wont waste any more time with you. Understand?

Ye Qingqiu nodded and said, Take your words as your guarantee to me. Cheating is a very tasteless thing. Im your current girlfriend, so theres a high chance that there wont be a second woman who can make you choose.

However, Li Tingshen, if you really have another woman, lets end this completely. As you said, if that day really comes, Ill take it that youve chosen her and given up on me. Although I like you a lot, its not endless. The other woman is my bottom line. I hope she will never appear. Understand?

She seemed to be deliberately competing with Li Tingshen.

She removed the hairdryer and said, Go to the wardrobe to find new clothes to change into.

Ye Qingqiu retracted her hand from his collar and gave him a slap on his chest.

Opening the wardrobe, she saw a row of high-end s.h.i.+rts and suits. She casually took out a white s.h.i.+rt and hugged it before turning to look at the man.

This is your bedroom? Where are you sleeping tonight?

Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks. Where do you think I should sleep tonight?

Ye Qingqiu subconsciously glanced at the bed beside her. If you want to sleep here you can since its your house.

She stuttered and almost bit her tongue.

Li Tingshen forced a faint smile. It seems like you dont want me to sleep here.

Ye Qingqiu opened her mouth but didnt say anything.

Go and change. Youd better not let me see you catch a cold tomorrow.

He walked out of the room. Before he closed the door, he paused and said coldly, Goodnight.

This word was as light as a feather that landed on Ye Qingqius heart.

Seeing that he was about to close the door and leave, Ye Qingqiu suddenly stopped him.

Li Tingshen.

The door that was about to close opened again.

Ye Qingqiu walked over and looked up at the mans handsome face. Then, she smiled beautifully.

You cant do things halfway. Good night and kisses are standard.

Li Tingshen looked at her quietly for a few seconds before pus.h.i.+ng the door open and kissing her

*

Li Tingshen accompanied her for three days.

Goodnight and a kiss became the norm before bed.

Ye Qingqiu had planned to stay here for a few more days, but in just three days, he received more and more calls and spent more time in front of the computer.

You dont have to guard me all day. Im much better now. If you have anything to do, go out.

She had been living happily these few days and her complexion had recovered.

Li Tingshen looked at her. Ill send you home tomorrow.

Ye Qingqiu was a little unhappy. Cant I stay here?

You want me to leave you alone at home?

No problem. You just have to come back on time tonight.

I cant, Li Tingshen said indifferently. I cant focus on other things while youre here. I cant take care of three meals a day, and I cant promise to come back at night.

Ye Qingqiu leaned against the sofa with the pillow in her arms. Her beautiful face was full of resistance.

Li Tingshen insisted, I do have a lot of things to do now. I can either return to the Ye family and ensure that youre well taken care of, or I can reject everything and focus on accompanying you at home. Ill give you a choice. You can choose.

*

In the end, Ye Qingqiu chose to return to the Ye family.

Perhaps Li Tingshen knew that she wouldnt make things difficult for him, so he gave her such an extreme choice.

However, this time, he seemed to have really remembered the conversation between the two of them. There were phone calls or text messages every day, but people were indeed rare.

She had once casually asked him about investing in the film industry. Li Tingshen admitted that there was such a thing and didnt say anything else.

Li Tingshen was really busy. They would meet occasionally at around 10pm. Every time they met, Li Tingshen wouldnt even get out of the car. Ye Qingqiu chatted with him in the car for a while before driving away.

She didnt know what he was busy with, but he didnt answer her question.

He probably felt that there was no point in telling her. It was just a waste of breath. Or perhaps, he was proud and conceited and had always been used to solving some matters alone.

Other than that, the two of them didnt meet often and got along well.

Occasionally, he would bring her a gift. After being pestered by her, he would bring her a supper from Ru Yixuan. Before they parted, he would give her a goodnight kiss.

Sometimes, when he wasnt busy, Li Tingshen would bring her to a good restaurant for a meal.

The days pa.s.sed peacefully.

He was cold and indifferent. He never spoke much, but he was also gentle to her.

He had done his job as a boyfriend flawlessly.

At the very least, she couldnt find any fault with it.

It was dull but satisfying.

Everyone said that it was enough to talk about marriage after a period of peaceful interaction.

Ye Qingqiu was looking forward to it.

There was always some other color to life.

For example, Liang Xuer was chosen by a well-known management company in the entertainment industry.

The young master of Galloping Media, Qin Jianjia, had taken a fancy to her.

Men liked women.

Qin Jiao was also a junior at T University.

He didnt have a good reputation, especially with women.

Her family was established in the entertainment industry and she was rich and powerful. There were so many beauties in the entertainment industry. It would be a waste if she didnt want them. There was no reason for her to keep her chast.i.ty.

However, she heard that Qin Hao was serious about wooing Liang Xuer.

She just didnt know how much she liked Liang Xuer and how much she feared the Ye family.

In a persons life, 30% depended on hard work and 70% on luck.

Liang Xuer was lucky. A regular supporting actress had gotten pregnant unexpectedly. The news came suddenly and the drama director found her as a subst.i.tute.

The performance was very good, so she was temporarily booked.

The play was a comprehensive art, and the script was a Western story. It had high requirements for ones voice, temperament, acting skills, and dancing skills.

Liang Xuer, who had lived in the Ye family since she was young, was outstanding in these aspects.

It was also because of this drama that Qin Hao took a fancy to her and pursued her.

After chasing her on campus, she followed her production team for six to seven performances in different cities.

When Ye Jianyun found out about this, he mentioned it to her.

Have you ever considered Young Master Qin pursuing you?

Ye Qingqiu, who was beside her, sneered when she heard Liang Xuer.

Anyone who has heard of the Qin familys young master will know. Do you think I should consider him?

Ye Qingqius face turned cold, and so did Ye Jianyuns.

Whether you should consider it or not is your own business. If you think that his pursuit is troubling you, I will arrange for someone to protect you at all costs.

No need.

Liang Xuer rejected Ye Jianyun coldly.

Since its my business, I know my limits. Its better to keep someone to protect your beloved.

Ye Jianyuns relations.h.i.+p with Liang Xuer was getting stiffer by the day.

Liang Xuer always spoke coldly and arrogantly, and Ye Jianyun couldnt tolerate her sarcasm.

I found an apartment outside. I want to train myself and live independently as soon as possible. Ill go upstairs to pack my things and leave in the afternoon. This is my apartment address. Ill take good care of myself. Please dont worry.

She took out a piece of paper from her bag and placed it on the coffee table. Then, she got up and went upstairs.

Ye Jianyun sat on the armchair. Even though she tried her best to hold it in, her expression was still exceptionally ugly. Her breathing was uneven and her chest was heaving.

Ye Qingqiu frowned and walked to his side. Dad, are you alright?

Ye Jianyun took a deep breath and waved at her. Im fine

Ye Jianyuns tone was filled with unconcealable melancholy and helplessness.

Ye Qingqiu poured him a gla.s.s of water and said, Dad, weve never owed her anything. Theres no need for you to be patient and give her a good att.i.tude. That kind of person is a cla.s.sic example of someone who takes advantage of others. Shes heartless and heartless. Why do you have to treat her coldly?

Ye Jianyun took a deep breath and said, Im an elder Shes your uncles only daughter

She was his younger brothers daughter and the heir of the Ye family. No matter how angry he was, he couldnt completely ignore her.

Ye Qingqiu told him not to think too much and helped him upstairs to rest.

She chatted with Ye Jianyun for a while. When he fell asleep, Ye Qingqiu tiptoed out of the room and closed the door. When she saw the door open in the corridor opposite, her face turned cold.

She strode into Liang Xuers room and slammed the door shut.

Liang Xuer, who was packing her clothes, was shocked. She turned to look at her, and her face darkened.

Did you get my permission to enter my room? Is this how youre raised?

Ye Qingqiu said coldly, Is this your room?

Seeing that Ye Qingqius expression wasnt right, Liang Xuer stood up from the ground. She raised her chin slightly and put on a proud expression.

Get out.

Ye Qingqiu sneered and walked towards her slowly. Before she could stand still, she raised her hand and gave her a tight slap.

The sound of the slap sounded exceptionally crisp in the room where there were only the two of them.

She was caught off guard.

Liang Xuer had never expected Ye Qingqiu to hit her.

Her face was burning and her ears were ringing.

Ye Qingqiu!

Ye Qingqiu raised her chin. Yes.

It was almost the same action as Liang Xuer, but she did it with blatant arrogance.

She wasnt pretentious or arrogant. She was born to be arrogant.

It was a stark contrast to Liang Xuers deliberate behavior.

Liang Xuer covered her face, her lips trembling in anger. She glared at Ye Qingqiu for a long time without saying a word.

Ye Qingqiu looked at her for a while and sneered.

Are you cursing me to death in your heart? Do you want to vent your anger? Liang Xuer, arent you tired of acting like this every day? If you really want to put on an act, you should be more hypocritical. Youre cold, arrogant, knowledgeable, and proficient in talent. Youre an unattainable lady, and your persona is perfect. However, you respect the old and love the young. Do you not know what it means to repay kindness or are there no such words in your dictionary?

Liang Xuer, Ive told you countless times whether its good or bad, but you didnt listen to me. Youre asking for a beating. You deserve this slap. Ive never given my father any face in all these years. Who do you think you are to cause trouble for him?

If it wasnt for my father, would you have the life, ident.i.ty, piano, and dance that youre so proud of? Im not asking you to be grateful to him, but as long as a stranger comes, you have to respect my father. Did I raise you to disgust him?

Do you think you can be independent after joining a lousy production team? Do you believe that I can make your lousy production team disappear from this world?

Liang Xuer glared at her with bloodshot eyes.

Repaying kindness with grat.i.tude? Liang Xuers teeth chattered. Im also of the Ye familys bloodline. Everything I have now is what the Ye family should have given to me. Im no different from you! Youre telling me that youre repaying kindness with kindness? From where do you stand to say these things to me? And where do you put me?

What favors have you given me? As a member of the Ye family, am I receiving the treatment that the Ye family deserves? He forced the man I like on you. Now, hes asking me if Ill consider a second-generation rich kid? What do you want me to repay you with?

Ye Qingqius face turned even colder. Youre always acting like our entire family owes you. Arent you the one whos looking at us coldly as bystanders? Youve drawn a clear line with us from the start, and now youre accusing us of being cold and ostracizing you? Liang Xuer, have you drunk too much tea?

Im asking you if you want to consider Qin Haos att.i.tude. Whoever knows that you definitely dont like Qin Hao. There are many sc.u.mbags in this world. Who says that they cant be sincere? If you like him, its up to you. If you dont like him, send someone to solve the problem for you. Youre crazy. In turn, youre being sarcastic to my father and making him angry. Do you still think that youre reasonable?

Ye Qingqiu really wanted to give Liang Xuer another slap. Her days with Li Tingshen had been too smooth, so it was easy for her to lose her temper.

Also, I chose Li Tingshen and chased him myself! My father forced him on me? Do you think Im not qualified, or are you insulting Li Tingshen for being so easily manipulated?

Hearing this, Liang Xuer, who had been glaring at her, suddenly laughed sarcastically.

Do you really think that Li Tingshen is only with you because he likes you?
