Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Tingshen stood behind her and looked at her back calmly.
Her head moved slowly from side to side. She was still looking at everything in front of her in disbelief. She couldn’t accept it.
After some time, she suddenly turned around, her eyes bloodshot.
“Brother Ye Ze is dead?”
There was no trance, no taboo.!!
She went straight to the point and faced the cruel reality that she didn’t want to face.
Li Tingshen’s dark eyes flickered and he said coldly, “I don’t know.”
Ye Qingqiu suddenly walked towards him. When she saw the obvious hatred in his eyes, she raised her hands and pushed his chest forcefully.
The woman didn’t have much strength.
Li Tingshen thought that she would slap him in anger like yesterday, but she pushed him instead. Hence, he was caught off guard and his body swayed imperceptibly.
Ye Qingqiu asked persistently, “Brother Ye Ze is dead?”
Li Tingshen looked into her eyes. “…No.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes widened and she looked at him with restraint.
“Why didn’t you let me out last night?”
“Because you have to eat, shower, and sleep…”
“Because Brother Ye Ze is dead.”
She slowly cut off Li Tingshen’s words as tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Tingshen’s face darkened and his voice suddenly turned cold. “No!”
Ye Qingqiu looked at Li Tingshen’s cold face silently for a long time.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something. She took out her phone and dialed Uncle Ye’s number. She pressed the phone to her ear.
The moment the phone rang, it was cut off automatically.
She called again, but the result was the same.
After five or six times, she finally gave up and walked away.
The director’s office was turned upside down.
But the director kept telling her to calm down and beg.
“Where is she? Why would she disappear for no reason?”
“Miss Ye, the patient was taken away by his father. We can’t stop him.”
“Then what can you do? You can’t save her and you can’t stop her from leaving? What’s the use of this hospital being here?”
The dean could only let her vent her anger.
Li Tingshen let her be.
In the end, she was exhausted and didn’t get the result she wanted.
In a daze, she walked out of the director’s office like a mindless zombie.
Holding onto the wall, she took out her phone mechanically and called Uncle Ye again and again.
The result was the same. The call was hung up as soon as it rang.
She put away her phone and pressed the back of her hand against her eyes. Her slender shoulders curled into a ball.
She seemed to be crying. There was no sound.
However, it painted helplessness and sadness to the extreme.
Li Tingshen walked to her side and pulled her gently into his embrace. His palm held the back of her head as his deep and gentle voice sounded above her head.
“Let’s go for lunch.”
Ye Qingqiu allowed him to hold her. She didn’t struggle or resist.
She didn’t respond to him immediately, but after a minute of silence, she spoke softly.
“I want to drink plum juice and winter soup. I don’t want to eat meat or the food from the restaurants outside.”
Li Tingshen paused, surprised.
Her current calmness and obedience were too abnormal compared to her earlier hysteria.
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes. “I’m tired.”
Li Tingshen bent down and picked her up.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t reject him. She seemed to be exhausted. She leaned into the man’s embrace and closed her eyes without any reaction.
Li Tingshen instructed Xiao Chu to prepare lunch.
Ye Qingqiu was placed on the bed. Li Tingshen handed her another glass of water and she accepted it obediently.
After drinking, she lay down under the blanket.
More than an hour later, Xiao Chu brought dinner.
Ye Qingqiu had always eaten slowly and elegantly.
Then, she slowly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She looked at Li Tingshen calmly.
“Do you not want to divorce me?”
Li Tingshen’s hand paused.
She looked up at Ye Qingqiu, who was leaning against the sofa. Her face and voice were cold and calm.
“So you think that if you take Brother Ye Ze away and I can’t see him again, I’ll definitely feel that he’s only leaving and not dead. And I won’t choose to divorce you because of him?”
Li Tingshen remained silent.
She put down the glass of water. “That sounds right.”
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “Why? What else do you want? Isn’t it good to have the shares of the Ye Corporation in my hands? Or is it because I was the one who spoke first and made you feel like you’ve been dumped? Do you feel that I’ve trampled on your supreme and priceless dignity? Is that why you refuse to get a divorce?”
Li Tingshen’s jaw tightened and his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
He was restraining himself. After a while—
He smiled and piled the leftovers together.
“So no matter what, this marriage… might not happen for the time being.”
Ye Qingqiu also smiled. “Can’t I take it that you dumped me?”
“How is that so? In fact, you wanted to dump me. Why would I dump you for no reason?”
Ye Qingqiu’s cold eyes gradually turned cold. Her slightly red lips parted after a while and she muttered thoughtfully,
“For no reason?”
Someone knocked on the door of the ward. Li Tingshen turned around and opened the door personally.
Xiao Chu walked in. “CEO Li, the company’s matters can’t be suppressed anymore. Everyone is waiting for you to step in. We can’t delay any longer.”
After what happened yesterday, the entire Li Corporation was gone. Who could sit still?
His work phone had long been bombarded with calls, including the work phone that CEO Li had thrown at him.
However, CEO Li still went to the Ye Corporation first. After he was done, he rushed to the hospital and stayed by Madam’s side. He was so calm that it was as if nothing had happened.
But he didn’t believe that CEO Li couldn’t guess how messy the situation was.
“Got it.”
Ye Qingqiu retracted her gaze and slowly closed her eyes.
Li Tingshen turned around and picked up his coat from the sofa. “I still have something to do. It’s very chaotic outside now. You won’t gain anything if you go out. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you’d better stay in the hospital.”
Ye Qingqiu remained silent.
Then, Li Tingshen’s footsteps gradually faded away and his calm and cold voice sounded at the door.
“Follow her well. Don’t go anywhere other than the hospital.”
“Yes!”

Someone came in to clean up the house.
Ye Qingqiu stood up slowly and left the ward.
Two tall and muscular men followed behind her.
Ye Qingqiu took the elevator and arrived at Ye Jianyun’s ICU. The medical staff inside was busy. She waited for more than ten minutes before entering.
The doctor’s report was still not very optimistic, but after surviving for 48 hours and stabilizing herself, she was finally out of danger.
Ye Qingqiu nodded and thanked the doctor.
Then, she sat by the bed and carefully held Ye Jianyun’s hand. She lowered her head and pressed her face against the back of his hand.
“Dad…”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and suppressed the sadness and fear in her heart.
“… Don’t mind the words in the recording. I did say it, but it was really just to deceive Qin Hao. That USB flash drive was given to me by Xu Wenxuan. He participated in the programming club in school. That USB flash drive is a little different… It can destroy a computer, but the data on the computer will be transferred to that USB flash drive and it will be automatically hidden. As long as someone can crack it, there will be no problem. Now, Xu Wenxuan and the rest are working hard to crack the program. As long as the program is cracked and the file is retrieved, I will be innocent…”
“You don’t have to worry. I’m your daughter. How can I let myself be wronged? I agreed to go to the Judicial Department because I have the absolute right to prove my innocence. If they dare to bring me to the Judicial Department to investigate me, I’ll tear down the department immediately after I prove my innocence.”
“I’ve caused so much trouble in my life, but I’ve never demolished the Judicial Department. Just thinking about it makes my hands itch. However, I’m afraid this matter won’t be easy to handle in the future. I’ll definitely need your support.”
“But since you don’t want me to go in, I won’t… But I’ll still smash the Judicial Department. Dad, you have to recover quickly and be my strong shield…”
Ye Qingqiu stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She reached out to stroke Ye Jianyun’s white hair.
Her eyes were filled with pain.
She actually had a lot to say to others…
Regarding Brother Ye Ze, her intention to divorce Li Tingshen, and the possibility of her getting pregnant…
Everyone knew what they should know, but they were all indifferent bystanders. Even if someone died, it would only enrich their happiness mentally.
It was annoying to think about someone’s misery and happiness.
However, those who truly cared for her would definitely have the biggest reaction and give her the most extreme love.
That was why she couldn’t mention these things to him.
He knew how important Ye Ze was to her. He knew how sad and reluctant she would be to divorce Li Tingshen. He knew how inappropriate it was for her to be pregnant.
He must be disappointed in Li Tingshen, so she couldn’t tell him anything.
Ye Qingqiu said some dispensable words to Ye Jianyun. She didn’t mention anything about the Li Corporation after the explosion.
But even so, half an hour passed just like that. The ICU doctor came in to get her.
After leaving the ICU, Ye Qingqiu went to the hospital’s park and sat on a bench near the fence.
This was the back of the hospital. Beyond the fence was the parking lot.
Ye Qingqiu’s mind was in a mess.
Other than hoping that Ye Jianyun would wake up, she couldn’t think of anything else.
She didn’t even know what to do in the future.
She looked blankly at the parking lot in the distance. There were people with big and small bags leaving with smiles on their faces. There were also people with solemn expressions as they hurried away.
However, when Ye Qingqiu saw a familiar figure getting out of the car and walking towards the hospital, her phone rang.
It was Grandpa.
He asked about her father and Liang Xuer.
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes.
Liang Xuer…
