Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Tingshen’s eyes were filled with emotions that Ye Qingqiu had never seen before.
It was dark inside, but there seemed to be a ball of fire that could burn her to ashes at any time.
Ye Qingqiu paused for a while before shifting her gaze elsewhere. She was too embarrassed to look at Li Tingshen.
“Does this count as one?”
Ye Qingqiu’s face was red and she was filled with shame. She naturally wouldn’t answer this question.!!
Seeing her like this, Li Tingshen chuckled.
“Weren’t you very good at talking just now? You can’t even speak now?”
Ye Qingqiu wasn’t willing to let him tease her and gain the upper hand. She turned her head. The shyness on her face had yet to dissipate, but the anger she forced out seemed to have no effect.
“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t waste time coaxing others?”
“I didn’t coax you purely because I wanted to. You just happened to give me a chance to succeed.”
Li Tingshen was so straightforward that Ye Qingqiu didn’t know what to say.
Li Tingshen’s long fingers caressed the corners of his lips and his fingertips were stained with water. He lowered his eyes to look at the woman who was staring blankly at him.
Their gazes met and Ye Qingqiu’s face turned even redder. She looked away in fear and even turned her head to the side.
Her small ears were even more eye-catching.
She curled her lips and adjusted her cuffs.
Ye Qingqiu’s heart was pounding wildly. There seemed to be a ball of fire on her waist where Li Tingshen had touched her just now. It was slightly hot, and her mouth felt red and swollen. Her pulse was even racing.
This was the first time she had such intimate contact with him.
He kissed her deeply, pressed her on the bed, and even touched her…
All these factors combined, but he didn’t stop just now. The consequences…
She felt her face burning.
He bit his lower lip lightly and wiped his mouth…
He had an indifferent and refined style and was doing extremely romantic things casually.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a while. Sensing that he had sat back on the chair by the bed, she rolled her eyes and realized that the development of the matter had been completely led astray by him.
She frowned and shifted her gaze to the man.
“Did you really beat up Xu Wenxuan?”
Li Tingshen glanced at her calmly.
Ye Qingqiu’s face was very serious. “It’s your business what you think of Xu Wenxuan, but I can’t be indifferent to him. At the very least, he had good intentions in this matter. It was purely an accident that I was hospitalized, and you even hit him because of this.”
“The outcome of this matter was probably that he apologized to me and I ended it perfectly. But you hit him… Now, I owe him an apology. Li Tingshen, you’ve complicated the simple matter.”
Li Tingshen’s eyes were cold and the sneer on his face was full of mockery. “That’s why you think that it’s right for me to remain indifferent when you’re sent to the hospital.”
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. Her beautiful face was obviously conflicted, but there was unconcealable happiness in her exquisite eyes.
“Li Tingshen,” she called out to him in a coquettish voice.
Li Tingshen looked at her calmly.
She looked at him quietly for two seconds before taking a deep breath and lifting the blanket. It was obvious that she wanted to sit up.
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Ye Qingqiu.”
Ye Qingqiu paused and looked at him with her bright eyes, looking delicate and pitiful.
Li Tingshen’s face was cold, but he still went forward to carry her.
Ye Qingqiu wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and planted a kiss on his face.
Li Tingshen paused and turned to look at her.
“To meet other men to please me?”
Ye Qingqiu asked with a smile, “Do you think this is flattery?”
Li Tingshen answered with a straight face, “What do you want?”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t let go of him and he was forced to sit by her bed.
“Actually, I’m quite happy.” She buried her face in his arms, her muffled voice coming from his neck.
“However, I feel happy because Xu Wenxuan was beaten up by you… but I also feel that it’s too immoral.”
She lifted her head from his embrace and looked at his face. “Do you think so? Let me tell you this secretly. I’m so conflicted.”
Li Tingshen’s lips twitched. “Sorry to put you in a spot.”
Ye Qingqiu nodded. “That’s right. This is the first time I feel that being a human is so difficult.”
“Let go.” This action was uncomfortable.
Ye Qingqiu shook her head and buried herself in his embrace. “Let me see Xu Wenxuan and apologize to him. This matter is almost over. Otherwise, I might see him a second or third time because of this…”
Li Tingshen sneered. “You’re threatening me again after failing to seduce me?”
“Who said I can’t seduce you? When did I seduce you? Who are you looking down on?”
Temptation failed?
If she couldn’t seduce him, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Unable to shake her off, Li Tingshen stood up and carried her out of the ward.
Then, she entered the elevator and went downstairs.
Ye Qingqiu blinked. “What?”
“Home.”
Ye Qingqiu said, “But Xu Wenxuan…”
“Shut up,” Li Tingshen said coldly as he glared at her.
Ye Qingqiu pouted and said, “I think what I said just now makes sense…”
Li Tingshen carried her and took two steps before his cold voice sounded above her head.
“I was the one who hit him. If he wants justice, I’ll be the one to do it. It has nothing to do with you.”
“How can it have nothing to do with me…”
Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to look at her coldly. “It seems like you want to see him no matter what.”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head and leaned her head against his chest again. “I’m still a patient and I need to be taken care of gently. Don’t suddenly put on a cold face.”
Li Tingshen still didn’t move. Ye Qingqiu could sense the unfriendly gazes on her, so she tightened her arms and closed her eyes.
“Ugh… My stomach hurts, I feel terrible…”
It was obviously a show. In the end, Li Tingshen carried her out of the hospital.
*
In fact, her stomach was really uncomfortable. Although she was pretending just now, she had only exaggerated a little.
On the way back to the city center, Ye Qingqiu didn’t look too good. Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed. Her forehead and nose were covered in sweat.
She closed her eyes and lay on Li Tingshen’s lap. At first, she could still chat with him, but later on, she didn’t say a word.
Seeing how obedient and docile she was, Li Tingshen frowned and placed his hand on her forehead. When he felt the cold dampness, his face tensed up.
Lifting her up, Ye Qingqiu saw her frowning and pale face. She wrapped her arms around her waist and buried her head in his chest.
“I’m probably a little carsick. I want to sleep. Also… I don’t want to go to the hospital.”
Li Tingshen placed his hand on her stomach. Upon hearing that, he looked up at the driver and said coldly, “Drive steadily.”
The assistant gripped the steering wheel tightly. “Yes.”
She wanted to cry.
With his years of driving experience and the fact that he had to drive for his leader, nothing was as stable as driving.

When the car stopped, Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes and glanced at the unfamiliar scenery outside. Before she could react, she was carried out by Li Tingshen.
They entered the elevator, exited, and finally stopped.
Ye Qingqiu leaned into his embrace. Her eyes were half-closed as she saw a tightly shut door.
After a series of beeps, there was a soft electronic unlocking sound.
She was carried in by Li Tingshen. She looked up at the simple furnishings in the room and asked weakly, “Where is this?”
Li Tingshen said calmly, “My home.”
Ye Qingqiu paused and seemed to have become more energetic. She stood up and looked around, but Li Tingshen carried her and placed her on the bed.
