Chapter 1043: Watermark
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Qingqiu paused and quietly lowered her hand.
“It’s too troublesome to do that.”
Li Tingshen’s thin lips curled into a cold smile.
She recalled the scar on the back of her hand from her nails.
When Song Zixian said that he went to the washroom with Ye Qingqiu, Liang Xuer’s heart was filled with unease.
But now, he and Ye Qingqiu were clearly in a state where it was better not to meet. From the start, they had not said a word or even exchanged glances.
She had thought too much.
Sensing that the coldness had dissipated, Liang Xuer relaxed slightly.
However, her beautiful eyes landed on his shirt.
She reached out to cover his shirt and patted it gently. “Why are there water marks here?”
After saying that, her expression froze as she looked up at the tall man.
A man like him was noble and clean. Even if he wore a suit for a day, there wouldn’t be any dirt or creases.
There were two obvious water stains on his chest. It couldn’t have been caused by him.
Li Tingshen lowered his head to look at the two water stains on his suit. There was no surprise or disgust in his eyes.
This should have been left behind when Ye Qingqiu grabbed him with her wet hands.
Her lips curled imperceptibly. On closer inspection, there seemed to be the outline of her fingers.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Liang Xuer was shocked.
He shouldn’t be like this. If it was before, he would have changed his clothes completely.
Why was he so abnormal today?
She turned to look at Ye Qingqiu and suddenly thought of the napkin she had thrown away and the way Song Zixian had helped her wipe her hands.
Her eyes flickered fiercely.
Looking at the two water marks on Li Tingshen’s chest, her face paled.
At this moment, the elevator door opened and Li Tingshen walked in first. Liang Xuer stood rooted to the ground and looked at him with a pale face.
Li Tingshen turned around and stood still. He looked at her and said coldly,
“You’re not coming in?”
Liang Xuer opened her mouth to say something, but she didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, Li Tingshen didn’t even have the intention to hold the elevator for her. Her eyes turned slightly red as she felt aggrieved.
“Li Tingshen…”
Ye Qingqiu turned to look at her in surprise.
Her full name?
Was she finally angry?
A few seconds later, she smirked sarcastically and stepped into the elevator with Song Zixian.
Reaching out to close the elevator, Ye Qingqiu looked at her hands that had already been cut off. The mocking smile on her fair and beautiful face did not diminish.
Her reaction made Li Tingshen frown deeply.
“How?”
“You met Ye Qingqiu just now, right?”
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes as he watched the elevator door close slowly.
Liang Xuer bit her lips and looked at Li Tingshen.
Until the elevator door closed, he didn’t leave the door open for her.
How cold and indifferent was this man?
She had been by his side for so many years. Even if she was his dog, he couldn’t just leave her here.
Besides, he hadn’t given her an answer.
Why was he silent just now?
Was it a tacit agreement?
Tears welled up in her eyes the moment the elevator door closed.
When Ye Qingqiu reached the wedding hall downstairs, she turned to look at the elevator.
The elevator didn’t seem to have moved.
Turning her head indifferently, there was no expression on her face.
The luxurious wedding venue in the hall was still brightly lit. The entire wedding venue was like a beautiful, elegant, and pure paradise.
However, a group of drunk guests broke the silence.
Yin Ruijue and the rest wanted to go downstairs to cause trouble for the bride and groom, but Shen Fanxing informed them beforehand and Xu Qingzhi hid with Limo.
She was about to leave in disappointment.
“Looks like we came for nothing.” Ye Qingqiu’s tone was calm, but there seemed to be a smile in her voice.
Song Zixian nodded. “Yes, but it’s alright. If they really fight, I wonder how Limo will react.”
“He deserves his wedding today!” Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly.
Song Zixian sighed softly. “Limo… doesn’t look too good today.”
Ye Qingqiu’s expression darkened slightly. “He seems to have suffered a lot after getting married. He married the mother of his child and still feels aggrieved, right?”
Her sudden coldness stunned Song Zixian.
Before he could say anything, Ye Qingqiu turned her head and looked at him with a smile. “You drank too much. You should go back to your room to rest.”
“… Okay.”
When she returned to the waiting hall, the four elevators were already running.
–
The next day, around ten o’clock, the entire hotel seemed to have come alive.
Without exception, all the guests who stayed over yesterday had drunk too much. There were not many who woke up early.
The hotel had long received orders from the Li family to prepare hangover tea.
Now, they were sent to every room one after another.
Bo Jinchuan had drunk a lot last night, but his biological clock had woken him up early.
However, Shen Fanxing was sleeping soundly in his embrace and he didn’t get up.
She didn’t wake up until her phone rang.
It was a call from Xu Qingzhi.
Her misty eyes widened and she sat up abruptly to answer the call.
“Qingzhi, are you alright?”
Xu Qingzhi paused and smiled lightly. “I’m fine…”
“Oh.” Shen Fanxing exhaled. She thought that Limo had bullied Qingzhi again last night.
“But someone’s matter seems to be more serious this time.”
Shen Fanxing paused and asked, “More serious?”
She sensed that something was amiss and frowned.
In that case, did something unpleasant really happen between her and Limo last night?
Xu Qingzhi covered up her words calmly. “Let me tell you something serious first.”
“What?”
Xu Qingzhi cleared her throat and said, “Last night, Yin Ruijue slept with the Chi family’s precious daughter…”
Shen Fanxing’s mind went blank.
She blinked and took a long time to react.
“Yin Ruijue… Chi Yaoyao…”
Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and said, “Yes, Fanxing. Yaoyao is the precious princess of the Chi family. None of the soldiers in that family are to be trifled with. I think he’ll at least lose a leg this time…”
Shen Fanxing inhaled sharply. The price of being drunk… was a leg.
This wine was really worth it.
“Fanxing, I’m the one attending my wedding. I can’t bear it.”
“Then now they…”
“I bumped into a classmate when I opened the door. Now that the matter has blown up, the Chi family has received news that Chief Chi has sent someone to kidnap Yin Ruijue.”
[Put up my explanation on Weibo. Why did you write a CP? Qingzhi and Li Mo’s wedding is before Fanxing’s engagement party.]
At this wedding, Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen had interacted before.
If a reader wants to see the couple, I’ll have to explain what happened to them at that time. I don’t intend to take up too much space, but it’s impossible for me not to. It can be considered a small surprise for the readers who have been looking forward to their story. It will prove that I haven’t forgotten them and that I like them very much.
If any reader has an opinion, I’m sorry that I can’t satisfy everyone. Let’s forgive each other or say goodbye.
