“Teacher said that if there’s anything you don’t understand, you have to watch and learn.”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t realize what was wrong with her answer.

However, Li Tingshen gave her a deep look before standing up and picking up his book.

“The office forbids reading these.”

Ye Qingqiu tidied her dress and hair. Her mouth was still a little hot. She reached out to touch it and suddenly realized an infuriating question.

She stood up and glared at Li Tingshen. “You kissed me just now to trick me into hiding the book, right?”

Li Tingshen closed the drawer and looked up at her angry face. His lips twitched. “I’m coaxing you.”

“You tricked me!”

Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow, neither denying nor admitting it.

He buttoned his coat and walked towards the door. Ye Qingqiu watched as he opened the office door.

Then he stopped and looked back at her. “Are you hungry?”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered but she didn’t move. “If you’re asking for forgiveness, you should be more sincere. I’m angry. Which girl would answer such a question that she’s hungry? Instead of starving, pride is more important.”

Li Tingshen looked at her. “Continue.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and said, “I’m not dating myself. If you continue, I’ll repeat what I read to you word for word.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and walked to her side. The tall and slender man looked down at her for two seconds before reaching out to hold her wrist.

He was a little strong, as if he was afraid that she would break free.

Ye Qingqiu only reacted when she was dragged to the door. “What are you doing?”

Li Tingshen opened the door. “You’re right. The question just now was inappropriate and unnecessary.”

Ye Qingqiu felt that she might fall for Li Tingshen’s overbearingness. But indeed, if she really had to answer his question, she would be lying.

She didn’t really want to reject him.

But since he had already gone so far, she couldn’t push her luck anymore.

She was still very happy, but…

“You’re hurting me.”

When Li Tingshen heard that, he loosened his grip and Ye Qingqiu immediately retracted her arm.

He didn’t say anything. Just as he turned to leave, he felt a warm touch on his palm and his fingers pressed against his knuckles.

He looked down and saw Ye Qingqiu’s hand. It was soft and tender.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Let’s go.”

Ye Qingqiu took two more steps towards him.

She held his hand tightly. Li Tingshen stared at their hands for a long time, his fingers curling slightly.

It was noon and they met many employees.

Seeing the two of them walking hand in hand, everyone’s eyes were filled with envy and excitement.

No matter what, one of them was handsome and the other was beautiful and delicate. Their temperament, aura, and looks were compatible.

It was true that she was envious and eye-catching.

Ye Qingqiu sat in the passenger seat of Li Tingshen’s car and watched as he fastened his seatbelt. She asked curiously,

“Didn’t you say you wanted to eat?”

“Doesn’t look like it?”

“I’m prepared to have lunch with you at the company restaurant. Isn’t that right?”

Li Tingshen started the car and skillfully controlled the steering wheel. He looked ahead and his voice was calm.

“Your foot is injured. You’re aggrieved, sad, and angry. I wanted to coax you, but the restaurant was almost sincere.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “You don’t have to be so straightforward in the future. Very few people will be happy if you’re so straightforward when coaxing others.”

“So you’re unhappy now?”

“You’re not familiar with the business yet. If you’re unhappy, you’re looking for trouble for yourself. I can barely understand you. This won’t happen again.”

“Thank you for being so understanding.”

“You’re welcome.”

Li Tingshen brought her to Ru Yixuan.

This was a restaurant that Ye Qingqiu rarely liked.

The porridge was to her liking.

In the past, she had come here twice alone. Later on, she got someone to buy food for her.

This was the first time she had come here with someone.

Actually, she rarely ate food from restaurants outside. In her impression, she had only mentioned this place to Li Tingshen once.

Hence, she was unexpectedly happy today.

The seafood porridge here was their signature dish.

However, Ye Qingqiu ordered lotus seed porridge and a few other dishes.

Li Tingshen sat opposite her and allowed her to order without saying a word.

Based on Ye Qingqiu’s appetite in the past, she had eaten two bowls of porridge today. It was considered a lot.

Ye Qingqiu pushed the remaining porridge to Li Tingshen.

“Not bad. You can drink all of this.”

As she spoke, she stood up and filled Li Tingshen’s bowl.

The porridge on the stove was still emitting steam. The fragrance of the porridge filled the room and Li Tingshen didn’t reject it.

However, he didn’t finish the remaining half of the porridge according to Ye Qingqiu’s wishes.

“Why do you eat so little every time? Do you have the strength? I think other men have a few packs. You…”

Li Tingshen threw the napkin on the table and looked at her coldly.

“Looks like you’re quite experienced.”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She smiled at him. “Are you jealous?”

“It’s a good thing to be knowledgeable.” Li Tingshen’s voice was cold. He stood up and pulled the chair away. “I’ll be attending the meeting in the afternoon. I don’t have time to accompany you. I suggest you go home.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned, unhappiness written all over her face. “Another meeting? And an entire afternoon? How many meetings do you have every day?”

After a pause, she said, “I want to participate too. I have shares in the company anyway.”

Li Tingshen’s face was cold. “Ye Qingqiu, it’s fine if you’re in a relationship. Do you think it doesn’t matter if you’re in a meeting room?”

Ye Qingqiu could tell that Li Tingshen was really angry this time.

However, he seemed to be right. If she really went to the meeting room, it didn’t matter what others said about her. However, at that time, Li Tingshen would definitely be criticized.

That wouldn’t do.

But…

“Do you think I can accompany you in the company in the future?”

“The Ye Corporation won’t be mine in the future.”

With that, he left the private room.

Ye Qingqiu chased after him.

Fortunately, Li Tingshen didn’t abandon her. He started the car and waited for her.

Ye Qingqiu got into the car and fastened her seatbelt. Looking at his cold and tense side profile, she smiled heartlessly.

“Is he that jealous? I’m just saying. I can’t even watch television, right? Besides, isn’t it normal for a man to have a few abs…”

The car suddenly rushed out.

There was no response from Ye Qingqiu.

The car finally stopped at the Ye residence.

Ye Qingqiu couldn’t help but feel angry when she saw the familiar house.

“Did I say I was going home?”

Li Tingshen unbuckled his seatbelt. “There are enough drivers here for you to order around. You can go wherever you want.”

As he spoke, he opened the door and went to the passenger seat.

His cold gaze and actions reminded her to get out of the car.

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips and unbuckled her seatbelt angrily. She stepped out of the car and glared at him.

“Li Tingshen, are you sure that I like you? Is that why you’re treating me so unscrupulously? I’m dating you now. I want to turn my feelings into love, not for you to consume my feelings. Aren’t you afraid that my feelings for you will fade? Or rather, you really can’t stand how much I love you?”

Li Tingshen lowered his gaze and looked at Ye Qingqiu coldly. With his back facing the light, his slender body shrouded Ye Qingqiu in a shadow. The dark light could barely see the emotions swirling in his eyes.

After a long while, his low voice sounded coldly.

“These are all your own matters. But if you feel aggrieved now, you should let go as soon as possible. Because in the future, I won’t have much time to think about how to avoid making you unhappy and how to coax you. I’ll probably never satisfy your expectations of me.”
