Shen Ping asked calmly, but before she could answer, he grabbed her wrist and stuffed her into the car.

“What are you doing?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and asked him. Li Tingshen started the car and left.

Ye Qingqiu panicked. “Where are you taking me?”

“Get even.”

As usual, it was simple. Ye Qingqiu understood very well. She lowered her eyes and said, “Stop the car.”

Li Tingshen pretended not to hear.

“I’m not going.”

“Suffer yourself, sulk, and then remember me? I’m not biased towards Liang Xuer. Even if I’m covering for her, it’s not for her. I have a clear conscience, but I don’t want you to think that there’s anything between us. Settle the score and don’t malign me.”

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “I know, so stop the car. I’m not going.”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything, but he didn’t stop the car either.

“Li Tingshen, I don’t know anything. I can’t help you with your work. All I can do is try my best not to drag you down.”

I did feel angry and aggrieved, but I’ve already endured it. You probably don’t understand how much effort it took me to do that. So don’t waste my energy. Just because I’m not going now doesn’t mean that this matter will pass.

I didn’t wrong you, but the reason why I endured it was because of you. If you have a conscience, take it that you owe me. Think about how to please me and make me happy.”

In the end, Li Tingshen stopped the car.

There was silence in the car as the hand on the steering wheel tightened.

Endure.

Didn’t he understand?

“No one understands it better than me.”

Ye Qingqiu heaved a sigh of relief when he stopped the car, but his incoherent words made Ye Qingqiu instinctively turn to look at Li Tingshen.

“What?”

There were clear fingerprints on the leather cover on the steering wheel.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Qingqiu. His handsome face looked distorted.

“Alright, then I won’t settle the score.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at him and felt that his words did not match his current expression.

“What are you trying to say?”

Li Tingshen turned the steering wheel and the car continued to move forward.

“I’ll warn Liang Xuer again. Now, focus on your studies. Even if you don’t plan to manage the Ye Corporation in the future, you have to understand. Don’t be sold by others and still count the money.”

Pleased by his first sentence, Ye Qingqiu frowned slightly.

“Don’t I still have you?”

Li Tingshen deliberately changed the topic. Ye Qingqiu looked at his side profile and noticed a faint smile on his lips.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and smiled. “My dad said that you’re born to do business. You’re smart and resourceful.”

Li Tingshen glanced at her. “Don’t you think it’s awkward to say such things to the person involved?”

Ye Qingqiu was amused. He still knew how to be embarrassed?

Was she ashamed of being praised?

“You have talent in business and started early. Now, you’re even more capable of taking charge. I’m not cut out for this. Even if I learn now, I won’t be able to catch up to you. Without talent, I’ll start later than you. Even if you really want to sell me, so what if I learn more? Will the thing you’ve decided to do fail?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and said, “My main point is for you to participate. You have to understand the documents and understand the company’s overall situation. If anything happens, you have to know what’s going on…”

“How can anything happen with you around? If anything happens, it can only be because you want it to… If I know too much and that day comes, I’ll have to watch you do something to me… Don’t you think that’s sadder?”

The expression on Li Tingshen’s face seemed to have changed.

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “I’m just saying. Anyway, the Ye Corporation will be mine in the future. What’s mine will be yours. It’s ours. How can anything ridiculous happen?”

“We,” said Li Tingshen calmly, as if he was pondering over the meaning of this word.

“Yes, it’s ours,” replied Ye Qingqiu casually. Seeing the car driving smoothly, she asked, “Where are you taking me?”

“Let’s go home. I want to show you something.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and remained silent.

The car sped up and sped along the wide asphalt road.

When she returned to the apartment, nothing seemed to have changed.

However, Ye Qingqiu stared at the room a few times. Li Tingshen changed his shoes and turned to look at her. He asked, “What are you looking at?”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head and said, “I just find it strange. I haven’t slept here all night, but I feel a little unfamiliar.”

As she spoke, she turned to look at Li Tingshen with a smile. “Am I a heartless person like you? This house has many special meanings, but I can forget it just like that. At least this time, I didn’t think of this place at all.”

Li Tingshen bent down to take out her fluffy slippers and placed them under her feet.

Ye Qingqiu kicked off her shoes and inserted them into her slippers. She asked casually, “Did you think that I wouldn’t come here, so you put away your slippers?”

“She’s probably worried that it’s dusty.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and glanced at the spare pair of slippers in the corner.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Who was here?” She took off her down jacket and hung it on the rack by the door.

Seeing her gaze, Li Tingshen replied calmly, “Mom was here.”

Ye Qingqiu paused.

Her beautiful eyes darted around and she sneered.

“You’re here for me, right?”

She suddenly stood still and turned to look at the man. “Because I hit Liang Xuer on set, she came to denounce me or… teach me a lesson on behalf of Liang Xuer?”

Li Tingshen replied indifferently, “No.”

Ye Qingqiu stared at him and smiled. “I’d rather hear you say yes.”

“No.”

“It’s not the first time I know that your mother likes Liang Xuer more. It’s easier for me to accept her coming to settle scores with me because of Liang Xuer than for you to chase me home because of Liang Xuer. What do you think?”

Li Tingshen looked down at her beautiful face that was full of smiles. “Will you be happy just like that?”

“Shouldn’t I?”

He only wanted her to go home to avoid Lian Lili. Not only did he want to resolve the misunderstanding, but he also wanted her to know that he was protecting her.

She couldn’t be happier.

“Then think of it that way.”

“Is it difficult for you to be honest?”

Although she said that, she knew Li Tingshen too well.

She could do it, but it was really difficult to say it out loud.

“With your personality, no woman can stand you if not for me.”

Li Tingshen walked past her. “Naive. As long as I have enough attractive assets, there will be plenty of women.”

Did she think that women nowadays were still innocent and had no desires?

Not living in reality yet?

Ye Qingqiu didn’t like what he said and followed behind him.

“You really know how to make a woman unhappy.”

Li Tingshen opened the study room door. “Are you unhappy?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. Her meaning was obvious.

Li Tingshen smirked. “Just nice, I have something to make you happy.”

With that, he walked into the study.

Ye Qingqiu followed curiously.

Sitting on the chair, Li Tingshen turned on the computer and skillfully operated it. The screen on the table made Ye Qingqiu walk closer.

“What?”

“Construction floor plan.”

“Why are you showing me this?”

Seeing her bending her back, Li Tingshen retreated and pulled her into his embrace.

Ye Qingqiu snapped back to her senses. Li Tingshen had already dragged the chair back to the computer. His well-defined fingers were holding the mouse as he scrolled down.

“This is the courtyard of the main entrance, a fountain, and a garden. This is an artificial lake. We can consider building a playground here…”

“This is the backyard, orchard, greenhouse, vegetable garden…”

“There are two courtyards on the left and right…”

“This is an interior design… You can ask me if you don’t understand anything or if you’re dissatisfied with something…”

“Wait, wait, wait…”

Ye Qingqiu interrupted him and blinked repeatedly.

“So what is this? What design?”

“Can’t you tell? It should be obvious. It’s a wedding house design.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled uncontrollably. “The design is out?”

This speed.

He could see the excitement and excitement on her face.

“Are you happy?”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything, but her hand that was holding the mouse was pushed to the side. Her body leaned closer to the computer, and Li Tingshen knew that she seemed to be too happy.

However, these were not much better than the manor that Ye Jianyun had prepared for her.

“This is the basement… Home theater. Yes, we have to have this…”

“The elevator can reach the rooftop? With a smart convertible, there’s no need to worry about rain…”

“The swimming pool and multi-purpose room. Very good…”

“Our room… Let me see, study, guest room, guest room… Toy room, children’s room…”

Ye Qingqiu’s happy voice gradually slowed down as she stared at the last two rooms. Then, she turned the mouse and zoomed in. The details of the rooms became clearer.

Ye Qingqiu took a closer look at the designs of the toy room and the children’s room.

After a long while, she turned to look at him, her eyes shining brightly.

“Can I supervise the renovation personally?”

Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow. “It’s not impossible, but I don’t recommend it.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and puffed up her cheeks. She twisted her butt on his lap and glared at him accusingly.

“Why?”

Li Tingshen’s expression changed slightly. He grabbed her waist with both hands and shifted her body towards his knees.

“… Others are unwilling to do dirty and tiring things even if they’re paid, yet you’re rushing them?”

“How can I leave my wedding room to someone else!”

“Be good. Leave it to someone more professional than you. You can rest assured.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything. If she insisted on going, he wouldn’t be able to control her.

She turned her head and glanced at the screen again. Her expression changed subtly with a hint of shyness.

“The children’s room… is one… enough?”

Hearing this, Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

“How many do you think are enough?”

Ye Qingqiu hooked Li Tingshen and her clothes with her fingers, trying to tie a knot.

She lowered her head slightly, her ears turning red.

“Aren’t we encouraging a second child now? As law-abiding and patriotic outstanding citizens, we should actively respond to the country’s policies…”

How could Li Tingshen not understand her thoughts?

There was a hint of mockery in his dark eyes as he smiled lightly. He hooked her long hair on her shoulder and naturally pinched her earlobe. It was extremely soft.

His voice was low and husky as he caressed her.

“Since she’s so outstanding, doesn’t it mean that she has to over-react?”

Ye Qingqiu felt an itch and rubbed her head.

“How many? I can’t give birth to too many. Giving birth hurts a woman’s vitality. I still have to be beautiful for a few more years.”

Li Tingshen chuckled and said, “An 18-year-old girl is still far from giving birth. Your mission now is to study hard…”

[There was supposed to be a turn of events, but I realized that I remembered the time wrongly. I’m 21 years old… I still have to wait for three years, so I asked for something sweet. Someone mentioned Li Tingshen’s assistant, Xiao Chu’s bug. This question was mentioned in the group chat a long time ago. Let’s just assume that this Xiao Chu has the same surname as the Xiao Chu a few years later. There might be some discrepancies now, but it won’t be too big. As long as everyone can understand it…]
