No, you did well.

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, I think I did well too, but you seem to be very dissatisfied with me.

Only then did the nurse realize that the atmosphere between the two of them wasnt right. She quickly packed her things and rushed out of the ward.

Because you did well. Since you dont like to stay in the hospital, Ill let you continue taking care of me after Im discharged. What makes you think Im dissatisfied with you?

Li Tingshens tone was calm as he explained.

He looked extremely patient, as if the person who needed to be taken care of was not him but Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu stared at him for a while and said, Its normal to be hospitalized when youre sick. There are some things that you dont have to hear from me. No matter what happens in the future, I wont push the responsibility to anyone. You just have to recuperate in peace.

Li Tingshen finally frowned. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Ye Qingqiu. What do you mean by what will happen in the future?

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. Nothing? I was just saying.

Li Tingshen didnt believe that she was joking, but he believed that if he continued asking, she wouldnt give him a real answer.

Xiao Chu has been waiting outside. I dont think youll be resting for a while. He probably brought you a lot of things.

Ye Qingqiu stood up and opened the door to let Xiao Chu in. Then, she placed a gla.s.s of water beside Li Tingshen. I wont disturb you anymore.

Xiao Chu placed the notebook and a stack of doc.u.ments on the coffee table and quickly removed the dishes in front of Li Tingshen.

Ye Qingqiu left the ward and closed the door. Only then did she shake off the cold gaze that had been on her.

Xiao Chu also noticed the stalemate between the two of them, but he had no clue. He could only report the situation to Li Tingshen.

Ye Qingqiu stood in front of Liang Xuer for a long time before pus.h.i.+ng the door open and walking in.

Liang Xuer had just finished her lunch. She sat on the bed and watched her enter coldly.

What are you doing here?

Ye Qingqiu said, Are you dying?

Seemingly used to Ye Qingqius disgusting words, Liang Xuer didnt have much of a reaction. Instead, she smiled.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Ye Qingqiu walked to her side and reached out to lift the blanket on her. Liang Xuer couldnt move and could only express her dissatisfaction and anger.

What are you doing?

Ye Qingqiu looked at her strong and heavy legs and her eyes narrowed.

Then, she retracted her hand and glanced at her bandaged hand.

Im indeed disappointed.

Liang Xuer sneered and said nothing.

If you dont die, dont cause trouble for others. Youre a cripple now. Its good that you can injure others.

Liang Xuer frowned. What do you mean?

Looking at her sitting there, Ye Qingqiu felt as if something had knocked on her head. She suddenly thought of something.

She pursed her lips sarcastically and said calmly, Li Tingshens arm is injured. If I go back with you, the wound will split open again. Those who dont know might think that you fought.

Liang Xuer paused for a moment.

If her arm was injured, why did he hug her just now

Joy suddenly welled up in her heart. Her lips moved slightly, revealing her current emotions. Realizing that Ye Qingqiu was still in the ward, she immediately suppressed her emotions and looked up at her.

Ye Qingqiu opened the door and walked out.

She didnt miss the joy on Liang Xuers face.

This was like a math question with only one answer.

Liang Xuers smile was the answer she had given her.

She had no intention of leaving the hospital, but she didnt want to stay here any longer.

Home, shower, sleep.

Xiao Chu had always been by Li Tingshens side. Their occasional conversation was about work.

Half an hour after Ye Qingqiu left the ward, the door finally opened. Xiao Chu was about to relax when the smile on her face froze.

The woman at the door said respectfully, h.e.l.lo, Sir. Im the nurse hired by Miss Ye to take care of you. Please let me know if you need any help.

Xiao Chu stole a glance at the man sitting on the sofa. His face was still cold, but it was obviously more terrifying than before.

The nurse was shocked and looked at Xiao Chu helplessly.

Li Tingshen didnt say anything and asked Xiao Chu about the doc.u.ments. Then, he closed the doc.u.ments and stood up.

Xiao Chu bent down to pack the doc.u.ments.

Li Tingshen had already left the ward.

Liang Xuer was still sitting on the bed in the afternoon. There was a tablet computer on the small table in front of her. She was watching a movie.

Seeing Li Tingshen coming over again, she smiled at him. Brother Tingshen

Li Tingshen saw her posture and walked to her side. Youve been sitting for the entire afternoon?

Liang Xuer nodded.

Li Tingshen bent down calmly and raised his arms to hug her again, but Liang Xuer rejected him.

I can find someone else to help me.

Li Tingshen glanced at the maid who had been transferred from the Ye family. Who will help you?

Liang Xuer pursed her lips. Actually, you can Be careful of the wound on your arm opening again.

Li Tingshen paused and straightened his back. He looked down at her and asked, How did you know?

Liang Xuer didnt want to mention it, but she still said, Ye Qingqiu came in the afternoon.

His eyes darkened, but he still placed Liang Xuer on the bed.

Your wound

Im fine.

His att.i.tude had always been cold. Liang Xuer didnt know what to say.

Ye Qingqiu didnt come tonight either, but she called the nurse she hired to ask about the situation.

The two of them didnt talk for long. After putting away the phone, Li Tingshen looked at her. What did she say?

Oh, its nothing. Shes quite relieved to know that youre fine. She even specially reminded me to be careful of your arm. Shell come over tomorrow.

*

Ye Qingqiu arrived at noon the next day. It was past midnight and Li Tingshen was in the ward.

She looked much better than yesterday. She felt refreshed and energetic.

The reason why she didnt like the hospital was that she didnt need a reason. No one would like such a place.

You rested well yesterday, Li Tingshen said calmly.

Not bad. She placed the food box in front of him. I brought you chicken soup. It tastes good.

The nurse went forward to lift the table and placed all the food in the box.

It was light and sumptuous.

Li Tingshen looked at the lunch in front of him. Because of the refres.h.i.+ng and energetic Ye Qingqiu, his mood instantly turned cold.

Whats wrong? You dont like it? Ye Qingqiu asked.

Li Tingshen looked at her. Why is there only one?

Ye Qingqiu was a little surprised. Isnt it enough? This is prepared according to your usual appet.i.te. There will only be more.

So, youre not eating with me?

Ye Qingqiu paused and suddenly realized that he was the one throwing a tantrum. Oh, I ate at home.

Li Tingshen pushed the food away with a dark expression.

Then I wont eat either.

Ye Qingqiu was stunned. Are you threatening me?

Li Tingshen turned his face and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqiu laughed and said, Whether you eat or not is your own business. Youre the one whos suffering from hunger. Do you think I care?

Li Tingshen remained silent.

Ye Qingqiu stared at him for a long time, knowing that this man was unmoved.

Gritting her teeth, she walked to his bed, sat down, and picked up her chopsticks.

Eat! Hurry up and eat!

Li Tingshens lips curled as he turned to look at her. How am I supposed to eat if you take my chopsticks away?

Ye Qingqiu tightened her grip on the chopsticks. Just as she was about to compromise and pa.s.s the chopsticks to him, he spoke again.

Coincidentally, my arm is not convenient.

Ye Qingqiu could tell what he meant. Her red lips moved and she almost said something, but she held back in the end.

Did someone feed you yesterday?

No one else has the right.

Ye Qingqiu laughed angrily.

She didnt expect a serious-looking man to be so shameless.

In the next few days, Li Tingshens injuries had been recovering. There were no accidents along the way and he was quickly discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.

Lian Li wanted to take care of him personally, but he was rejected by Li Tingshen. In front of Lian Lili and Ye Qingqiu, he said that this was Ye Qingqius responsibility and that she should be the one to take care of him.

Ye Qingqiu didnt say anything.

In reality, Ye Qingqiu wasnt someone who took care of others.

After Li Tingshen returned home for a few days, not to mention taking care of him, she was more like a little ancestor.

Ye Jianyun suddenly felt unwell.

Ye Qingqiu returned to the Ye family immediately after hearing the news.

Ye Ze said that ever since he found out that Liang Xuer had been hospitalized after a car accident, he had been in low spirits. That was why he was reacting physically.

When she reached home, Ye Jianyun was sunbathing in the garden. There was a tea tray beside him. He leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.

Those who didnt know would think that she was enjoying herself. She didnt look like she was feeling unwell.

However, upon closer inspection, Ye Jianyuns face was obviously sickly and there was a layer of gloominess between his brows. Even the warm and bright sunlight couldnt penetrate it.

Dad, she called softly. Ye Jianyun frowned and slowly opened his eyes. Why are you back?

Youre not feeling well.

Ye Qingqiu bent down and sat on the chair opposite him before pouring herself a gla.s.s of water.

Ye Jianyun couldnt deny that since he was back, he must have received the news.

She sighed. After such a serious car accident Im so scared

Other than this, Ye Qingqiu couldnt think of any other reason for his sudden discomfort.

Shes fine. Its just a matter of recuperation. No matter how serious it is, its all in the past. Theres no need to care too much about this matter. Its meaningless.

Ye Qingqiu comforted her calmly, sounding emotionless.

Ye Jianyun looked at her for a while. Actually, everyone is selfish. So am I.

Ye Qingqiu didnt understand. In that case, you should be more selfish. Dont worry about things that dont concern you. Havent you understood enough all these years? No matter how much you sacrifice, what can you get in return?

Dont tell me that we have a clear conscience. In my opinion, a clear conscience is obviously giving others a chance to push their luck. If you have a clear conscience, the more the other party feels that your sacrifice to him is natural. I have to return the favor. Why should I treat another person well unconditionally?

Ye Jianyun had been in the business world for so long. How could he not understand the most realistic things?

But it was precisely because she had experienced the warmth of the world that she felt that she had to treat her family better.

Because other than family, no one else would treat each other sincerely.

Dont just comfort me. You dont have to be too calculative about some things. Everyone has no choice. As long as Tingshen doesnt have any ulterior motives, dont always argue with him

Ye Qingqius long eyelashes suddenly moved. She rested her arm on the armrest of the chair and squinted at the colorful chrysanthemums blooming under the sun. Her gaze was as distant as her voice.

You make it sound like Im always being unreasonable with him.

Ye Jianyun sighed softly and said, Im asking you to relax your mentality. Everyone knows that you like Tingshen. The more you like him, the more you care about him. Anyway, hes yours. He wont do anything that will make others criticize you. Your happiness is the most important.

Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly and said, Since youre so sure of him, I definitely trust him more than you do. Dont worry, dont worry about me.

Ye Jianyun stared at her for a while before nodding silently.

Ye Qingqiu finally understood Ye Jianyuns concerns.

After all, they were father and daughter. They had the same thoughts.

In reality, Ye Qingqiu was not a fool, and neither was Ye Jianyun.

Ever since Liang Xuers car accident, a thorn had sprouted in their hearts.

Li Tingshen had recovered from his injuries and resumed his usual routine.

Similarly, Ye Qingqiu went to school after paying her debts.

Other than weekends, when the two of them went out together in the morning, there was a 50% chance that Li Tingshen would pick her up for dinner or go home together in the afternoon.

But now, it wasnt even half as likely.

At the end of the year, every company was busy.

Li Tingshen might be even busier.

On the last weekend before the winter break, Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen had discussed going to the company to deliver lunch to Li Tingshen.

There were more people than usual this weekend. They were busy with their work with solemn expressions. Something had probably gone wrong or they had squeezed too much unfinished work.

Especially since the finance department had worked overtime for two weeks.

A few department heads were trapped in the conference room by Li Tingshen. Listening to the whispers of the secretaries, the atmosphere was not good.

Ye Qingqiu went to the office to wait. After sitting for a few minutes, the office door opened and someone strode in hurriedly, heading straight for Li Tingshens desk.

Realizing who was sitting on the sofa, he paused. Miss Ye?

Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Her beautiful eyes darted around and she held her chin with a faint smile. Ive never seen you before.

There werent many people who could enter Li Tingshens office. Even his secretary couldnt enter and leave as she pleased. Other than his special a.s.sistant, Xiao Chu, this man seemed to be very familiar with the layout of Li Tingshens desk

She had no impression of such a person.

Im Xiao Xu, CEO Lis a.s.sistant.

Ye Qingqiu frowned slightly. He fired Xiao Chu?

Xiao Xu took the doc.u.ment in his hand and said hurriedly, Xiao Chu is CEO Lis most capable a.s.sistant. CEO Li has arranged for him to take care of someone in the hospital recently, so I have the chance to work for CEO Li Sorry, Miss Ye, CEO Li is still waiting for the doc.u.ment. Ill get going first.
