The surrounding servants were stunned by her words and completely forgot what they should do.

However, Li Tingshen’s reaction was as though he had been threatened by Ye Qingqiu. He didn’t do anything.

Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows and retracted her hand. Her slender fingers unscrewed the cap of the ointment.

“To be honest, I don’t want you to be obedient at this time.”

She mumbled, “You don’t listen when you should and when you shouldn’t.”

She squeezed the light yellow ointment on her fingertips and raised her hand to touch the wound on the left side of Li Tingshen’s lips.

The pain made Li Tingshen tilt his head slightly.

Ye Qingqiu looked at him coldly. “What did you do back then? Now you know how to hide?”

She wasn’t as calm as she looked. Compared to the slap she gave him just now, her anger hadn’t dissipated much.

Even so, when she raised her hand to hit him, she deliberately changed her left hand and slapped the right side of his face, avoiding the wound on his left cheek.

“Ye Qingqiu, I said there’s no need to apply medicine. Do you not understand human language or do you want to go against me in everything?”

Li Tingshen turned his face away, not wanting to accept Ye Qingqiu’s kindness.

Ye Qingqiu exerted more strength and the pain became clearer.

However, she did not give up on applying the medicine on him.

Li Tingshen was pressed against the sofa by her and could only look up at her coldly.

“I’m warning you one last time. Stop immediately and get off me. Otherwise, don’t ever think of stepping into the Li family again.”

Ye Qingqiu paused and looked into his eyes thoughtfully.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes. “What do you want now?”

Her brain was too different from others. Every time she rolled her eyes, something extraordinary would pop out.

Ye Qingqiu raised her hand and rubbed the ointment on her fingers. She tilted her head slightly and said slowly,

“I’m thinking, how did you threaten Liang Xuer?”

Li Tingshen pondered for two seconds, as if thinking about Liang Xuer’s actions today. “No one knows better than you what’s not worth it.”

“Now that you’ve said that, I’m even more curious.” Ye Qingqiu reached out and lifted Li Tingshen’s pajamas.

Li Tingshen’s expression changed and he grabbed Ye Qingqiu’s hand almost instantly.

“Ye Qingqiu!”

Ye Qingqiu’s gaze swept across him and she paused. “…I know my name is nice. Don’t always call me by my name. Even if you have to, can you be gentler?”

There were no obvious injuries on her body, but there were a few faint bruises on her chest.

However, she suddenly frowned and looked down at Li Tingshen. “Can you let go first? You’re hurting me.”

Li Tingshen saw that there was a layer of water droplets on the tip of her fair nose, which glistened under the light. He frowned slightly and could tell that she wasn’t lying.

The grip on her wrist suddenly loosened. Looking down, there were obvious marks on her wrist.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He frowned immediately.

Delicate.

She had been raised by the Ye family to be an untouchable porcelain doll.

Ye Qingqiu squeezed out some ointment and applied it on Li Tingshen’s chest.

Her warm and soft hand made Li Tingshen’s body stiffen imperceptibly.

In all these years, no one had ever been so intimate with him.

In reality, Ye Qingqiu had already made too many exceptions.

No matter what he did, it had no effect on her.

After applying the ointment, Ye Qingqiu bent down and blew on the spot where he had applied the ointment. At first, she only planned to let the ointment dry as soon as possible and put down her clothes.

God knew that her ears were almost cooked.

However, just as she exhaled, she seemed to sense Li Tingshen’s body stiffen. Before she could feel it more accurately, she was pulled by a sudden force and fell onto the soft sofa.

Li Tingshen pulled off his shirt with a dark expression and stood up. His handsome face was twitching with anger.

“Ye Qingqiu, you’re 16 years old now, not 6. Do you have any shame?”

Although the sofa was very soft, Ye Qingqiu was still dizzy from the fall. After regaining her senses, she leaned against the sofa and rubbed her wrist. She looked up and her lazy voice carried her unique softness.

“You finally know that I’m 16 years old and not 6 years old?” She paused slightly and changed her posture. “That’s true. Many classmates have already changed their boyfriends several times. How conservative are you? Do you have to wait until you’re 18 before you can fall in love?”

Li Tingshen was impatient and irritable.

“Get out.”

Ye Qingqiu stood up from the sofa and retorted, “I haven’t finished applying the medicine.”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes dangerously and took two steps towards her before stopping at a safe distance.

“Your so-called love is to go against me time and time again? There should be a limit to how much you can do whatever you want. It’s not that everything will be yours if you want it. There aren’t many men who like a disobedient woman like you.”

“So Liang Xuer is an obedient woman?” Ye Qingqiu suddenly asked.

“At the very least, she knows the best choice in the face of threats.”

Ye Qingqiu sneered. “So what kind of threat did she receive? She watched as you were covered in injuries but she endured it and didn’t apply medicine for you?”

Li Tingshen clenched his fists tightly.

He didn’t say anything, but Ye Qingqiu continued with a faint smile, “I’m guessing that she’s been threatened by something? Hmm… don’t tell me you’re threatening her with tutoring? If she insists, will the tutoring end here?”

Li Tingshen’s face darkened.

However, Ye Qingqiu knew the answer from his reaction.

“Looks like I’m right.” After saying that, she sneered softly. “So you men like women like her?”

In order to stay by the man’s side, she allowed him to be injured without any treatment?

“To be honest, I’m quite happy that Liang Xuer was threatened because of this. At least you didn’t let her touch you. However, I have to complain about the vulgar taste of you men.”

Ye Qingqiu knew that Li Tingshen wouldn’t sit down obediently and let her apply the ointment on him. She wasn’t in a good mood to continue wasting time with him. She squeezed the ointment in her hand and walked to his side. She bent down and smeared it on his wounds before standing up and looking up at him coldly.

“I gave up a glass of milk tonight and missed my bedtime to come here to treat your wound. In fact, you promised to tutor Liang Xuer. You even endured the pain and insisted on tutoring her. These two things haven’t passed yet.”

“I think every young man doesn’t want to be tied up by a woman so early. I can give you a chance to make a mistake, but the greatest limit is the distance between you and Liang Xuer now. If you or her have further contact… Li Tingshen, no matter how much I like you, I won’t want you anymore.”

“Speaking of men, I think as long as I, Ye Qingqiu, agree, there shouldn’t be a lack of men around me. It’s just that I prefer quality over quantity.

“But I can’t be sure. I’m quite a casual person. I haven’t fallen for anyone properly, nor have I experienced any love. If there’s really a man who has feelings for me in all aspects… Who knows if I’ll fall for him? After all, I can understand your young age. Naturally, I won’t forget that I’m only 16 years old. Everything is an unknown area full of curiosity to me. Don’t underestimate a woman’s desire to explore.”

“Really?” Li Tingshen frowned as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. “Don’t you think this threat is too childish? Do you think you can threaten me?”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes narrowed. “Do you think this is a threat?”

Li Tingshen’s face tensed up.

It was rare for Ye Qingqiu’s mood to improve. She turned to look at the bag of medicine on the coffee table and said, “Remember to apply the medicine. I bought those. You’re not allowed to use anyone else’s. I’m very tired. I’m going home to sleep. You should rest early too.”

After saying that, she touched her wrist that was still hurting and walked towards the door.

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground and didn’t even turn around.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much hope for him. The car was parked at the entrance and she drove out.

When the driver saw her, he quickly opened the door.

Before Ye Qingqiu got into the car, she paused and turned to look at the two servants who had sent her out. There was a bright light shining from the open door.

Her mood was much better than when she had first arrived. However, there was a hint of doubt on her face as she touched her leg quietly.

Although he had flung her away too quickly, she seemed to have felt something warm and hard touch her.

Even now, there was a feeling that she couldn’t shake off.

“Miss?”

The driver didn’t know what she was thinking and urged her in a low voice. Ye Qingqiu came back to her senses and got into the car without saying anything.

Li Tingshen was once again suppressed by Ye Qingqiu.

It seemed that he had never had the upper hand in front of her.

He lowered his head to look at the sticky ointment on his leg. Her words. The way she squatted on the ground and stubbornly applied the ointment on him. Every word and sentence replayed clearly in his mind, including the slap she gave him the moment she entered.

He was the one who was beaten.

He was the one being scolded.

He was the one who was rendered speechless.

It was clearly him who was at a disadvantage.

It was clearly her. From the beginning to the end, she had been doing whatever she wanted. She was arrogant and stubborn.

But in the end, it seemed like he was the one who benefited the most.

Actually, that wasn’t true. How could she let herself suffer all the time?

Wasn’t her last threat trying to turn the tables?
