Watching them leave, Liang Xuer’s stiff hands curled slightly before she clenched them tightly.

If possible, she would rather not rush back because she wanted to give him the birthday present she had meticulously prepared.

Even if he only took the gift coldly, it was better than being taken by Ye Qingqiu.

Seeing Li Tingshen stop in front of the door and Ye Qingqiu enter the password skillfully, Liang Xuer suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Their birthday, late at night, the two of them, and the smell of alcohol on them…

All the factors mixed together could lead in a certain direction.

Was their progress really too fast?

In the beginning, she didn’t expect Li Tingshen to really date Ye Qingqiu. But now, she couldn’t imagine how Li Tingshen would date Ye Qingqiu…

How would such a cold and indifferent person treat a woman gently…

She bit her lips hard and closed her eyes to suppress those emotions. Finally, she walked into the elevator.

After entering the house, Li Tingshen placed Ye Qingqiu on the sofa.

Ye Qingqiu kicked off her shoes and watched as Li Tingshen turned around to take off her coat.

She seemed to be used to such behavior. She raised her arm and tilted her head to look at the box in her hand.

“She came back specially to celebrate your birthday.”

Li Tingshen was unmoved. He pulled down the zipper of her down jacket, lifted her arm, and pulled down one sleeve before looking at her calmly.

She transferred the gift box to her other hand and asked him to take off his clothes.

Then, when he went to put the clothes, she leaned against the sofa and held the box up, scrutinizing it.

“Tell me, she’s so attentive to you and openly designs on you. Do you think I can pretend not to care?”

Liang Xuer couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. Could she?

Li Tingshen walked over and looked down at her. “Nothing will happen between us.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at him with a faint smile. “Are you asking me not to take her seriously?”

She shook the box in her hand and said, “Even if your attitude is very clear now, you still have to accept gifts during every festive season. It’s really quite distracting.”

Li Tingshen’s gaze finally landed on the box in her hand.

Immediately after, the box in Ye Qingqiu’s hand was snatched away and fell into the trash can.

“Are you satisfied?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at the trash can and pursed her lips. Her eyes darted around before she raised her eyebrows and smiled disapprovingly.

“I’m dizzy.”

Li Tingshen looked at her pretentiousness and pursed his lips. “So you’re telling me that the dizziness from being drunk is intermittent?”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t care. She opened her arms and looked at Li Tingshen. “Carry me to the bedroom.”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and his gaze lingered on her fair neck for a few seconds.

Ye Qingqiu’s hands moved as she urged him.

He retracted his gaze and picked her up.

After placing her on the bed, Ye Qingqiu lay on her side, her slender arms supporting her head. She didn’t pay attention to her dark red dress, which was a little messy. Her legs were slender and straight, and the curves were beautiful. They overlapped as she smiled at him.

“Li Tingshen, I’m drunk tonight, so you can plot against me while I’m drunk…”

Li Tingshen stared at her with his long and dark eyes. There was a dark flame in the depths of his eyes.

Although she was just putting on an act, she didn’t know how seductive she was.

She was even more beautiful than usual today, overturning her usual low profile. The dark red retro gown accentuated her fair skin and perfectly outlined her flawless figure.

At the age of 18, she already had a figure that made women envious and men tempted.

From the moment she took off her coat tonight, the gazes of those men had focused on her. Thinking about it now, she felt inexplicably vexed.

Ye Qingqiu was just joking at first, but Li Tingshen’s scorching gaze made her nervous.

“Shower?”

Li Tingshen spoke in a hoarse voice.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “…Yes.”

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground and looked at her.

She didn’t move.

After a while, Li Tingshen suddenly bent down and picked her up.

She went straight into the bathroom.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had never thought of doing anything to her when she had just reached adulthood.

She seemed to have guessed this, which was why she dared to seduce him so brazenly.

He had never had a woman before, and at his age, men couldn’t withstand such temptation.

She seemed to have overestimated his composure.

Perhaps it was just her willpower.

…You’re thinking too much…

After being carried out of the bathroom by Li Tingshen, Ye Qingqiu felt like a cooked prawn.

She had been seen and touched.

Now that her body was limp and she didn’t have much strength left, she heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that her next mission tonight would be to sleep.

In the end, she was wrong.

Li Tingshen pinched her chin. “Are you sober?”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “Yes.”

Li Tingshen’s gaze swept across her exposed skin and his lips curled up slowly.

“Even if you’re not drunk, we’re still in a relationship where I can do whatever I want to you anytime. Do you understand?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and said, “…Got it, so shouldn’t we sleep now?”

Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow. “Do you think you’ve seen enough in the bathroom?”
