Chapter 2101
Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

Ye Qingqiu felt a chill run down her spine.
She stood up from his embrace and her freshly dried hair fell on her shoulders. Her hair, which had not been dyed in any color, made her fair face even fairer.
âWhat do you mean?â
Li Tingshen looked at him calmly, his dark eyes unreadable.
âI want to be with you. In any form, we have to live under the same roof. We have to sleep in the same bed. Linlin has to call my father and your mother. The three of us have to be on the same household register, soâ¦â
After saying that, he paused. âCan we get married? Can you marry me? Can I marry you?â
Ye Qingqiuâs eyes flickered and she didnât know what to say.
Her mind was filled with the kitchen, knives, blood, and the emergency roomâ¦
âI donât want to wait anymore.â Li Tingshenâs expression was calm. âSo will you agree to marry me if Ye Zeâs life is returned?â
Ye Qingqiu stared at him for a long time. She wanted to sneer, but her lips twitched.
âYou want me to marry a dead person?â
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. ââ¦Letâs hold a wedding first.â
âDo you want me to be a widow after the wedding? Let me tell you, Li Tingshen, thatâs impossible. If you die, Iâll remarry with Linlin!â
Li Tingshen paused and his eyes turned cold.
âWhy donât you try remarrying?â
âYouâre already dead. Why do you care?â
Li Tingshen sneered. âIf you dare to remarry, Iâll climb up to look for you even if I have to overturn the netherworld.â
Ye Qingqiu paused and gasped instinctively.
â⦠Lunatic.â
Her face was ashen and she couldnât breathe properly.
Li Tingshen pulled her into his embrace and helped her sit on his lap.
âSo did you agree to marry me just now?â
Ye Qingqiu frowned and asked, âAre you dreaming?â
âDidnât you say you wanted to remarry?â
Ye Qingqiu asked, âWere you serious just now?â
Li Tingshen kissed her cheek, his voice hoarse.
âYes, I want to marry you.â
Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes and her beautiful face tensed up. âIâm talking about Brother Ye Ze!â
Li Tingshen didnât say anything. He buried his head in her neck and hummed softly.
Ye Qingqiu grabbed his hand and pushed him away.
âEnough.â
Li Tingshen looked at her cold face quietly and said in a low voice, âEnough?â
âI said, thatâs enough!â Ye Qingqiu reiterated with a cold face, âYou won, okay? I canât bear to see you hurt, and I canât bear to see you die. Iâm scared to death outside when youâre sent to the emergency room. Isnât it just a marriage? Get married, Iâll get married!â
âBo Jinchuan said that the most important thing in life is to make yourself comfortable. Grandpa said that the dead are never as important as the living. Everyone thinks that Iâm too pretentious. Iâm only afraid when I almost kill someone. Theyâre all so open-minded and think that you love me. No one loves me more than you. They beat around the bush and tried to get me to let goâ¦â
âYes, theyâre all right. Iâm so unreasonable that I wonât let them off.â
Li Tingshen listened quietly. He placed his hand on her back and stroked it gently.
âAlthough I donât like others interfering in our relationship, and I donât like you being persuaded to be with me, Iâm glad that as long as thereâs a reason to persuade you to be with me, Iâll accept anyone who says anything.â
Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists.
Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. âI was very happy when you said that you still love me, but thatâs all. You loved me three years ago, but you still didnât want me. I only want you to be with me now. I donât expect you to love me. Itâs enough that I love you. But if loving me is the reason why you can continue to be with me, I canât ask for more.â
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.
He had expressed too much.
He had expressed his determination to be with her more than once.
In the past, he didnât say anything. Now, he was afraid that she didnât understand.
But some words were so honest that it made her love and hate him.
She said that she loved him. To him, she was just happyâ¦
But she wouldnât believe him if he said something nice.
Frankly speaking, most of them were unpleasant.
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
âItâs my first time being a human. I canât compare to them in understanding, right and wrong, stubbornness and bigotry. Itâs understandable for them to give me pointers, but it doesnât mean that I have to think that theyâre all right.â
It has nothing to do with whether I forgive you or not. I donât pity you, and itâs not because youâre pestering me. I can only choose to compromise. I donât have so many twists and turns. I canât consider too much. Iâm just willing. I want to lead a better life. I still love you. I wonât fall in love with another man, and I canât even sleep with another man or do that kind of thing. I donât want to be a widow at a young age. You have money, power, ability, and you love me to death. I wonât lose out by being with you.â
âGet married?â Ye Qingqiu asked and nodded. âIf you serve me well and can support me, if I throw a tantrum and you can withstand it, Iâll marry you.â
Li Tingshenâs hand paused.
Ye Qingqiu turned to look at him. âWhy? You canât do it?â
Li Tingshenâs eyes darkened. âThatâs all?â
âWhich ones?â
âIf I serve you well, I can support you. If I throw a tantrum, I can withstand your torment.â
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. âLess?â
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly and buried his head in her neck again.
âYes, ask for more. If not, I wonât be at ease.â
âYou donât want to marry me if you donât feel at ease? Then do whatever you want. Let go of me. I want to sleep.â
Ye Qingqiu reached out to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter. His low and hoarse voice sounded from her neck.
âMarry.â
âOh, are you still talking about Brother Ye Ze?â
â⦠Bring it up.â
âVery good, then I wonât marry.â
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly again. ââ¦Letâs not talk about it.â
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes. âLet go. Iâm sleepy.â
Li Tingshen paused and didnât let go of her. He stared into her eyes and said, âYou slept this afternoon.â
âSo?â
âYouâve been grounded for two months. Do you need me to serve you?â
Ye Qingqiuâs body stiffened and her face turned red. She pushed him away and climbed onto the bed.
âNo need!â
âItâs been two monthsâ¦â
âIâve been fine for three years! Get lost! Youâre still injured. Are you crazy, Li Tingshen?â
Li Tingshen turned around and chased after her. âI can help you in other ways.â
Ye Qingqiu lifted the blanket and covered her head. Her deep and angry voice sounded from under the blanket.
âIf you continue, get off the bed!â
This man opened a dye shop with just some paint.
It was pure yellow.
*
The next day, when Ye Qingqiu was still sound asleep, the news of him and Li Tingshen getting married swept across the internet.
Ever since Li Tingshen stayed here, she had rarely woken up personally.
It wasnât that she was being lazy on purpose, but when she saw her aunt and Li Tingshen fighting to take care of Linlin every day, she decided not to participate.
She felt at ease.
When she woke up, Li Tingshen wasnât beside her. She stretched and leaned against the head of the bed. She picked up the phone on the bedside table and browsed the news lazily.
Seeing the news of her marriage to Li Tingshen, she frowned.
After washing up, she went downstairs to look for food. Li Tingshen had probably calculated the time she would go downstairs. Just as she appeared at the staircase, Li Tingshen was standing downstairs and looking at her.
âSit in the dining room for two minutes. Breakfast will be ready soon.â
After sitting down in the dining room, Ye Qingqiu rested her elbows on the table and watched lazily as Li Tingshen served her breakfast.
âThereâs a lot of news online about us getting married. Did you do it?â
âStop coveting you.â Li Tingshen sat beside her and picked up an egg. He cracked it and peeled it for her. âYou donât like it?â
Ye Qingqiu picked up her cutlery and shook her head. âNo.â
Li Tingshen brought the peeled egg to her mouth and she took a bite.
She only spoke after Li Tingshen fed her the entire egg.
âLetâs just make up for the marriage certificate. Thereâs no need for the wedding.â
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and picked up a napkin to wipe his well-defined fingers.
Silence.
It lingered in the dining room for a long time.
After Ye Qingqiu finished her breakfast and put down her bowl and chopsticks, Li Tingshen stood up to clear the dishes.
Ye Qingqiu suddenly said, âIsnât it good that weâre together? Itâs just a formality. Itâs not that important.â
Li Tingshen held the plate in his hand and waited quietly for her to finish speaking.
âItâs still the wedding plan you found back then. They didnât think that the wedding wasnât important.â
Ye Qingqiu paused for a few seconds. She didnât expect him to be so fast. He had actually found a wedding planner.
âAfter all, it was back then. She was young and full of vanity. Her wedding was unprecedentedly grand and exquisite⦠She wanted to announce to the world that she was married to you. Now that I think about itâ¦â
âYe Qingqiu.â Li Tingshen suddenly interrupted her. âWhich woman doesnât want a wedding?â
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, âShen Fanxing didnât hold it either.â
âDo you think Bo Jinchuan will miss her?â
Ye Qingqiu remained silent.
âI wonât.â
Bo Jinchuan doted on Shen Fanxing so much that he had rushed back for the engagement. How could he lack a wedding?
âI canât be bothered. Now that everyone knows weâre getting married, thereâs no need for a wedding.â
Ye Qingqiu insisted that everything had changed. Her wedding was destined to be imperfect, so why should she force a smile?
âIâm already preparing.â
âThen cancel it.â
Her attitude was firm and no one could refute her.
Li Tingshen was silent for a long time. ââ¦Okay.â
After saying that, he turned around and entered the dining room. That lonely figure made Ye Qingqiuâs chest ache and she felt even more guilty.
She stood there for a while before turning to walk into the kitchen. She walked behind the man who was washing and hugged his waist from behind.
âLetâs register our marriage later.â
Li Tingshenâs body stiffened and he stared at the water silently.
âIâll move into the wedding room after I register my marriage.â
She kept retreating, wanting to comfort him.
âDid you break the four-piece set I bought back then?â
Li Tingshen finally found a clean towel. He dried his hands and turned to look at her.
âBuy a new one.â
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, âIâll buy it.â
Li Tingshen rarely saw Ye Qingqiu smiling like this in front of him. Her eyes were gentle and filled with smiles.
He couldnât help but lean over and kiss the tip of her nose.
*
In the afternoon, Li Tingshen brought Ye Qingqiu back.
The entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was surrounded by reporters.
The reportersâ sharp questions came one after another. There were many questions from Liang Xuer.
Xiao Chu had already sent people to protect Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu.
But it was hard to contain the reportersâ excitement.
âCEO Li, congratulations on your wedding!â
âMay I know when your wedding with Miss Ye will be held? Where?â
âI wonder if the media will be invited to the wedding?â
Not many media companies would choose to offend Li Tingshen. Since they couldnât ask about Liang Xuer, they could always ask about some happy news.
However, Li Tingshenâs face darkened. He had clearly gotten his wish to remarry Miss Ye, but there was no joy on his face.
On the contrary, Ye Qingqiu had a faint smile on her beautiful face.
âThank you for your blessings. Itâs just a remarriage. Thereâs no need to hold a wedding.â
âHuh? But back then, you didnât have time to hold a wedding.â
Ye Qingqiu continued to smile. âThe wedding isnât important. Whatâs important is that weâre together.â
The media looked at the silent Li Tingshen and finally realized that he was really unhappy.
The reporters dispersed tactfully.
The internet was flooded with news of the two of them registering their marriage and not holding a wedding.
Most people sighed with regret.
âBack then, I was looking forward to Princess Yeâs wedding. It would definitely be unprecedentedly luxurious. I wanted to broaden my horizons, but it ended up in vain.â
âWho doesnât think so? The bride is beautiful and the groom is handsome. Just thinking about it makes me ripple. Sigh.â
âI thought that with the two of them together, there would be hope for the grand wedding, but the little princess doesnât want it anymoreâ¦â
âI heard that Princess Yeâs bodyguard died because of saving the wedding gown. He was probably afraid of being sadâ¦â
No one spoke again.
They did not know much about what happened back then. Anyway, it was a huge matter and someone had even died.
*
Ye Qingqiu didnât want to see Bo Jinchuan anytime soon.
If Linlin wanted to see Shen Fanxing and Li Tingshen went to the company, she had to find Shen Fanxing.
She was unlucky to bump into Bo Jinchuan at home in broad daylight.
She had to admit that Bo Jinchuanâs aura was indeed strong. He had been in a high position for a long time and was used to strategizing. Whenever he spoke, he gave off a strong sense of oppression, especially towards her.
Shen Fanxing had mentioned this to Bo Jinchuan before, but he was straightforward.
âYe Qingqiu has been arrogant since she was young. When others treat her nicely, she subconsciously feels that others have to obey her. Sheâs purely used to it.â
Shen Fanxing understood. Instead of persuading her nicely, it was better to give her the only way out. There was no way out. She could either stand there or walk forward.
Seeing Bo Jinchuan, Ye Qingqiu wanted to hide. Even after getting married, she didnât think that this man would let her off easily.
âNot having a wedding, you mean?â
Indeedâ¦
âArenât you embarrassed when you mention someone elseâs wedding?â Ye Qingqiu found a rare opportunity to mock him.
âYou want to meddle in my business?â asked Bo Jinchuan coldly.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and glanced at him. âSo can you not interfere in my matters? What does my wedding have to do with you?â
âHow free do you think I am to meddle in your business?â
Ye Qingqiu asked, âSo? What does my wedding have to do with you?â
âYouâre in a hurry to throw away something thatâs about to rot in my hands! You hold a wedding and Iâll give it to you.â
Ye Qingqiu sneered, âSo you want to throw that thing thatâs about to rot to me?â
âItâs useless to me and means a lot to you. Are you sure you donât want it?â
Ye Qingqiu should have retorted Bo Jinchuan immediately, but she was stunned by his tone.
Few questioned Bo Jinchuanâs words.
Moreover, he even said that it meant something.
She couldnât think of anything in this world that meant anything to her.
âContinue with the wedding preparations.â
Ye Qingqiu said, âI donât want to.â
Bo Jinchuan replied, âI donât care if you want it or not. I want to give it away. You have to think about it.â
Ye Qingqiu sneered again. âI donât want to attend the wedding. Do you want to tie me up at the wedding?â
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her casually and said, âWhy donât you try?â
Ye Qingqiu felt suffocated.
Then, she watched as Bo Jinchuan called Li Tingshen.
âShe agreed to hold the wedding. Continue with the arrangements.â
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
After hanging up, Bo Jinchuan threw something at Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu took a closer look and realized that it was a black pistol.
She was stunned.
âNo matter what, I saved Li Tingshenâs life. Donât you like to exchange lives? Iâm really unhappy that he doesnât want to hold a wedding. If he canât do it, let him return his life to me. That way, I wonât be upset when I see such a useless brother like him in the future.â
Ye Qingqiu felt dizzy. âDo you have to do that?â
Bo Jinchuan said expressionlessly, âOf course.â
Shen Fanxing was playing the piano with Linlin, so she could see the commotion in the living room clearly. However, she only smiled and didnât say anything.
Ye Qingqiu left in anger.
The gun was still on the coffee table.
*
At night, Li Tingshen asked her why she suddenly agreed to the wedding.
Ye Qingqiuâs expression remained unchanged as she scrolled through the internet.
âIâm curious about what surprise Bo Jinchuan has for me.â
Every word seemed to be bitten off.
âThereâs no need for the wedding to be too grand and luxurious. Donât go overseas either. Just stay in Ping Cheng. Itâs not convenient for Grandpa to travel.â
âOkay.â
*
A month later.
Li Tingshen had fully recovered.
The wedding had finally arrived.
Some of the plans were the style that Ye Qingqiu liked three years ago.
The largest hotel in Ping Cheng City was booked.
All the roads were cleared from eight to twelve.
It was just that no one talked about it.
Ye Qingqiu woke up early and was in a bad mood. She went to the bridal lounge prepared by the hotel early and went to bed.
She didnât look like she was getting married at all.
The makeup artist didnât dare to make a sound outside the room.
At ten oâclock, Ye Qingqiu woke up and took a shower. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and sat in front of the mirror, yawning.
The makeup artists shuffled forward to apply makeup on her.
After the makeup was done, the makeup artists stood still again.
The few of them winked, not knowing what to say.
Ye Qingqiu frowned and stood up. She tightened her bathrobe and said, âThatâs it?â
âThe wedding gown⦠hasnât arrived yet.â
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
She didnât interfere with the wedding at all. She didnât expect that even though the wedding was held everywhere, her wedding gown wasnât prepared.
Wedding dressâ¦
Another wedding gown.
Perhaps she should not have a wedding.
Closing her eyes, she had been mentally prepared for a long time. Today, she had deliberately suppressed all her thoughts, including the regrets that she had already promised.
In the end, she couldnât escape being seduced.
âLetâs wait a little longer. CEO Li has prepared such a grand wedding. Thereâs no reason for something to happen to the wedding gown. Mrs. Li, donât worry.â
As noon approached, Ye Qingqiu became more and more frustrated.
The atmosphere was getting worse. It was suffocating.
Just as Ye Qingqiuâs patience was running out, someone knocked on the door.
The makeup artistâs nervous face lit up instantly. âThe wedding gown must be here.â
After saying that, she hurried to the door and opened it.
âSorry, Iâm late. May I askâ¦â
âItâs Miss Yeâs wedding dress! Thereâs only Miss Ye and CEO Liâs wedding in this hotel today. You wonât be wrong!â
The makeup artist sounded anxious. Time was running out.
âAlright, sorry to trouble you.â
The makeup artist was a little puzzled by the manâs politeness, but she didnât mind.
When Ye Qingqiu stood up and walked into the room, she could vaguely hear voices outside.
She felt that the manâs voice sounded familiar, likeâ¦
Her heart skipped a beat.
Back then, that man had risked his life to protect her. Even though he was seriously injured, he still wanted to find a wedding gown for her. Moreover, he was covered in blood and was afraid that he would scare her and apologize to her. The scene of him regretting not being able to attend her wedding surfaced in her mind again.
He had promised her.
Liarâ¦
She closed her eyes forcefully and suppressed all those memories.
Impossible.
They must be very similar.
He could never appear at her wedding.
He had broken his promise long ago.
The makeup artist carried the bag with the wedding gown and entered happily as though she was the bride today.
âMrs Li, the wedding gown is here. Letâs go in and change.â
Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes and replied calmly before walking into the room.
A few makeup artists followed. After all, it was not easy to wear a wedding gown.
The few of them carefully carried the wedding gown out. Even though they knew that the wedding gown was definitely extraordinary, they couldnât help but gasp when they saw it.
So beautiful!
She was covered in diamonds, silk sleeves, silver embroidery, and long silkâ¦
âI can guarantee that Mrs Li will be the most beautiful bride in the world.â
âThis wedding gown is simply too beautiful.â
âIt will definitely stun everyone.â
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. She had heard of such words back then.
But now that she was listening, she didnât feel as happy.
It wasnât that she was unhappy. Every woman liked to be praised.
The regret he felt was like a tiny hole that would occasionally be filled with a bone-chilling cold wind that would blow away all the warmth.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath and smiled sweetly.
Everyone had regrets about Ye Qingqiu.
Compared to everyone, if you married the man you loved and had a man who loved you more than his life, you would be happy now and in the future.
The past is the past. Leave your regrets in the past.
Those who love you wish you well.
So you must be happy.
Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at the makeup artist.
âSureâ¦â
The voice stopped abruptly.
Her gaze landed on the wedding gown held by two makeup artists.
Her eyes couldnât help but tremble as she stared at the wedding dress. The emotions in her eyes changed from surprise to anger, to sadness, to vulnerability, and then to despair.
Every expression on his face was terrifying.
Why this wedding gown?
Did he think that everything was the best according to the standards back then, or did he think that she liked this wedding gown so much that he simply wanted her to be happy?
But he should have known that this wedding gown only made her sadder.
He would have considered that.
âMadamâ¦â
The makeup artist was shocked by her expression and didnât dare to speak for a long time.
Ye Qingqiu snapped back to reality. She didnât believe that Li Tingshen would make such an arrangement. He cared more about the past than her.
But this was clearlyâ¦
Her thoughts suddenly stopped somewhere. A string in her mind seemed to have been pulled taut.
After a long while, she suddenly rushed out of the room and opened the hotel room door in her bathrobe.
The corridor was empty. The brideâs room was arranged on an absolutely quiet floor.
The makeup artist chased after her. âMadamâ¦â
Ye Qingqiuâs face was full of disappointment. After hearing the makeup artistâs voice, she turned to look at him with hope and excitement.
âJust nowâ¦â
She couldnât help but choke as her eyes burned. âDo you know who sent the wedding gown?â
The makeup artist shook her head. âI⦠I donât know that manâ¦â
Ye Qingqiuâs eyes trembled as she walked towards her. She grabbed her shoulder and asked timidly and nervously,
âWhat does he look like?â
Her beautiful eyes were nervous, timid, and filled with boundless hope and excitement.
Seeing her like this, the makeup artist was afraid that her words would disappoint her. She hesitated and recalled.
âHeâs handsome and expressionless. He doesnât talk much usually. Heâs tall and straight. Heâs wearing a white suitâ¦â
Ye Qingqiuâs heart skipped a beat and her head buzzed. Her legs lost some strength and she almost lost her balance.
White suitâ¦
âA white suitâ¦â
She muttered with a look of disbelief and agitation.
She raised her trembling hand and slowly covered her mouth.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Was it him?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Could it be him?
Brother Ye Ze was still alive?
âQingqiuâ¦â
A puzzled voice sounded from behind. Ye Qingqiu turned around slowly and saw a beautiful woman in a light green dress.
Her makeup was light and exquisite, and her figure was slender and graceful. Her hair was slightly curled, and she exuded a calm and elegant aura.
Seeing Ye Qingqiu turn to look at her, the womanâs eyes reddened and tears fell from her eyes. She pouted and ran to her to hug her. She buried her head in her arms and cried.
âI hate you, sob⦠Are you a fool? What did you say you wanted? There are so many people who are worried about you, but you abandoned them just like that!â
Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a long time. Feeling the woman jumping around in her arms, she didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âIâll put on makeup if you continue.â
âWuwuwuâ¦â
âLuoluo,â Ye Qingqiu called her name softly.
Luo Luo straightened her body and looked at her accusingly with reddened eyes. âYou havenât forgotten me.â
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, âCongratulations, impressive Chinese international Best Actress.â
In three years, everyone had grown.
Just seven days ago, at the International Pinewood Film Festival, Luo Luo won the award for Best Female Lead while Lin Muqing won the award for Best Male Lead.
Luo Luo blushed and said, âIf you donât marry CEO Li, I wonât be able to face you.â
After all, Li Tingshen was the one who helped her today.
Back then, when the resources in the country were tilted towards Liang Xuer, Li Tingshen simply recommended her overseas. He helped her with her studies and film resources.
Although she was biased against Li Ting, this was a rare opportunity and she didnât want to miss it.
Until now, she had achieved such achievements in the shortest time possible.
Even if Liang Xuer was still around, she couldnât be compared to her.
Everyone said that Li Tingshen favored Liang Xuer, but in the past three years, Luo Luo knew that Li Tingshen had given her much more opportunities than Liang Xuer.
Ye Qingqiu roughly knew what she was talking about, but even if he wasnât with Li Tingshen, she wouldnât hold it against Luo Luo.
âMadam, itâs really time for us to change. We donât have time!â
The makeup artist urged. Although they were happy to see this international Best Actress, time was too tight.
Ye Qingqiu blinked.
Luo Luo pulled her in. âIâll touch up my makeup too.â
But when Luoluo entered the room and saw the wedding gown, she was stunned.
âThisâ¦â
Ye Qingqiu looked uneasy and nervous. Her fingers trembled as she took off her bathrobe, her voice trembling.
âI wonder who sent this wedding dress⦠Heâs very handsome, tall and straight, and heâs not good with words. Heâs wearing a white suitâ¦â
Ye Qingqiu allowed the makeup artist to put on the wedding gown for her. As she spoke, she suppressed the bitterness in her throat and smiled tearfully.
âBack then, I made an agreement with Brother Ye Ze. He wanted to wear the white suit I gave him to attend my wedding. I said that if he was absent, I would be very disappointed, second only to the disappointment of the groom running away⦠He promised me that he wouldnât miss my wedding⦠Luoluo, do you think⦠heâ¦â
Luo Luo covered her mouth in disbelief.
âYou said heâs still alive?â
Ye Qingqiu bit her lips hard. âIf itâs not him, who is it?â
Everything flashed across her mind.
Back then, when Ye Ze disappeared, no one told her that he must have died.
As the wedding approached, Li Tingshen did not mention the wedding gown. Was he prepared?
Bo Jinchuan had said a few times that he had successfully snatched back a life. Was he saying that besides Li Tingshen, he had also saved Brother Ye Ze?
He even said that there would be a surprise for her when she married Li Tingshen.
It meant nothing to him, but it meant a lot to her.
She originally thought that there wouldnât be anyone or anything in this world that she found meaningful. But if it was Brother Ye Ze, that made sense.
So all of this wasnât a coincidenceâ¦
If that was the case, she had to thank Bo Jinchuan for his ancestors.
*
Beautiful.
She was undeniably beautiful.
Her beauty was beyond imagination.
The door of the wedding hall opened slowly. The bride beside Old Master Ye was so beautiful that everyone held their breaths.
Dressed in a dazzling wedding gown, she didnât look flashy at all.
The little princess of the Ye family was born arrogant and noble. Her beautiful face and temperament could easily suppress everything.
She had a slender figure and a long veil. Her features were charming and dazzling.
Wanwan pulled Linlin in front.
Each of them had a small flower basket with petals scattered on the ground.
Li Tingshen stood on stage in a black suit. He was tall and slender, exuding a noble aura.
After opening the door, he stared intently at Ye Qingqiu.
Not a second later.
Even though he had already registered his marriage and was only a few steps away, his heart was still in his throat.
Especially after Ye Qingqiu entered the venue, her eyes had not been on him. She looked around anxiously as if she was looking for something.
She only shifted her gaze to Li Tingshen after Old Master reminded her in a low voice.
Even though she knew from the start that this man was handsome and everything about him was based on her taste.
Of course, others also thought that he was handsome.
But after seeing her today, she couldnât help but feel tempted.
She felt that she was indeed quite useless. She already had a child, yet she was still bewitched by him.
This man was a monster.
After all, she had taken a fancy to it. How bad could the quality be?
The closer she got, the clearer she could see the man. The thick emotions in his eyes made her nervous.
Before she went up the stairs, the man strode down and grabbed her hand.
Li Tingshen only felt more at ease when he held her hand tightly.
Ye Qingqiuâs heart tightened. She glanced at him and was about to walk up the stairs when Li Tingshen bent down to carry her.
There was applause from the audience and a few cheers from Yin Ruijue.
Although it was normal for her to be hugged, she was still a little shy today.
Li Tingshen put her down, but his hand didnât leave her waist.
He leaned close to her and said as if there was no one around, âYou look beautiful today.â
Ye Qingqiuâs eyes darted around. âAm I not beautiful usually?â
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. âSheâs beautiful every moment.â
Sensing his desire to live, Ye Qingqiu couldnât help but purse her lips.
She looked at the two rows of people below the stage. The person she was looking forward to wasnât there.
Was she wrong?
Was it really not?
She clenched her fists slightly as disappointment filled her heart.
She had been distracted throughout the process.
The emcee had already started reminding them to exchange rings.
Luo Luo walked up with the ring. There was a manâs ring on it.
Ye Qingqiu had never been married and didnât understand the process. She picked up the ring and slowly put it on Li Tingshenâs ring finger.
She stared at the ring on his hand with a dazed expression, her eyes subconsciously looking at his neck.
âYou can only wear it on your hand in the future,â said Li Tingshen softly after reading her thoughts.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to kiss the side of her face.
There was applause below the stage. Ye Qingqiu held Li Tingshenâs hand as her gaze landed on the ring on his ring finger.
Everything she wanted in the past was being realized bit by bit.
The groom put on the ring for the bride.
At this moment, a person slowly walked out from backstage.
With a handsome face, tall figure, and a smile, he walked up elegantly in a white suit.
Not many people would recognize this man who had always kept a low profile. His appearance only resulted in a few low gasps.
âQingqiu,â Li Tingshen called her softly. She slowly raised her head and looked at him.
Li Tingshen smiled at her and took out a ring from the tray. He lifted her left hand and slowly put the ring on.
Ye Qingqiu was in a daze. Seeing him kiss the ring on her finger, her fingertips trembled slightly.
But later, Li Tingshen picked up a watch and handed it to her.
It was familiar.
Ye Qingqiu was puzzled.
âIâve mediated it.â
âIt didnât move when you werenât around. Itâs been motionless for three years. I hope you can restart it today. In the future, it will only record our days together. I wonât allow it to stop again.â
Ye Qingqiu blinked and the sudden warmth almost made her cry.
Luoluo reminded her softly, âDonât cry on happy days. Your makeup will be smudged.â
Ye Qingqiu held it in. With trembling hands, she helped Li Tingshen put on his watch and bent slightly to adjust the time.
âWhat time is it now?â
A gentle voice sounded from the side. â13:14.â
âOh, thank you.â
Ye Qingqiu adjusted the time and pressed the button.
An inaudible click sounded from the second hand.
Luo Luo laughed softly and sobbed.
âSilly, how nervous are you?â
Ye Qingqiu secretly pinched the cold sweat on her palms and turned to look at her, denying arrogantly.
âWhoâs nervous? Isnât it just a marriage?â
âThen you didnât realize that such a living person was standing beside you?â
Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Li Tingshen with a faint smile.
âTo be honest, Iâm very happy.â
Ye Qingqiu frowned.
âSilly, look to the side!â Luo Luo couldnât help but remind her.
Ye Qingqiu subconsciously turned her head and her gaze landed on the man in a white suit.
Stunned, she stared at the manâs face for a long time before blinking gently.
The man in front of her was still there. He had a familiar face and a gentle smile.
âMiss, happy marriage.â
Ye Qingqiu bit her lips tightly, her eyes turning misty.
Stunned, surprised, and finally aggrieved.
âI knew it. It must be youâ¦â
âIâm sorry. Although it was close, now that Iâm here, the groom wonât run away. Everything is good now, and it can only be better in the future. You will always be happy.â
Ye Qingqiu nodded. Luo Luo reminded her not to cry, so she endured it. She turned around and opened her arms, wanting to give him a hug.
However, the man beside her suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Ye Qingqiu looked up at him with teary eyes. âWhat are you doing?â
Li Tingshenâs expression did not look too good. Seeing her expression, he could not bear to speak harshly. He could only suppress his temper and coax her softly.
âItâs time to kiss.â
Ye Qingqiu blinked. There should be such a process.
She raised her head and tiptoed to kiss him before turning to look at Ye Ze.
In the end, Li Tingshen pinched her chin and pulled her back to kiss herâ¦
Countless fresh petals fell from the sky above the banquet hall. The rain of flowers filled the entire hall and did not stop for a long time.
Wanwan and Linlin happily played with the petals around them. Everyone stood up, and the applause and cheers floated into the blue skyâ¦
âI love you.â
âI love you.â
