Chapter 2027: I Forgot My Instructions

Ye Qingqiu’s gaze landed on the decoration on Li Tingshen’s desk. It was prepared by her. It was a white cat with its eyes narrowed. It was holding a photo frame with a digital clock beside it.

It was completely different from the gray and solemn office.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t respond, but Xiao Xu left anyway.

About ten minutes later, the office door opened again. Li Ting walked in wearing a suit and leather shoes.

Seeing her, his gloomy expression faded slightly.

He placed the doc.u.ment on his desk and walked towards her.

“Have you waited long?”

Ye Qingqiu exited the game and shook her head. “It shouldn’t be long.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the wooden food box on the coffee table. “Because I want to eat with you, the food today is sumptuous.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips lightly. “Thanks to you, I can have a sumptuous lunch.”

Ye Qingqiu snorted and picked up her chopsticks.

She paused and glanced at the door before lowering her head to continue eating. Then, she looked up at Li Tingshen.

He repeated the action a few times.

Ye Qingqiu only spoke after lunch.

“Li Tingshen, why don’t I have dessert today?”

Li Tingshen paused slightly.

Raising her head, Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and accusation. It didn’t seem like she was throwing a tantrum, but more like she was acting coquettishly.

“In the past, there were desserts prepared every time I came. Did you forget to instruct me because you were too busy? Or did I make Xiao Chu feel that it’s fine to neglect me once or twice? Looks like I have to have a good talk with Xiao Chu.”

“Xiao Chu isn’t in the company. I forgot to instruct him.”

Li Tingshen said calmly, “If you want to eat it, I’ll get someone else to buy it now.”

“There’s no need.” Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly. “If you miss the time to eat, you won’t want to eat the rest.”

As she spoke, she smiled. She was heartless and straightforward.

However, Li Tingshen wasn’t stupid.

But since she said that, she knew that he wouldn’t ask her what she meant.

These words sounded narrow-minded and petty. Moreover, she might not be able to get an answer. Even if she did, it would be an unpleasant answer.

Li Tingshen asked his secretary to come in and wash the food.

Then, she walked to her desk and sat down. “I’ll be very busy from now on. Do you want to go home or go out to buy something? Or do you want to visit Luo Luo? I’ll arrange a chauffeur for you.”

Ye Qingqiu stood up and walked to the hanger at the door to take off her coat.

“I’m used to Xiao Chu’s car. If it’s not him, then forget it.”

After putting on her coat and scarf, Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Li Tingshen, waiting for his response.

Li Tingshen’s gaze was fixed on her. When he saw her looking at him with a faint smile, he repeated indifferently, “He’s not in the company.”

Ye Qingqiu nodded calmly.

“Oh, it’s okay. I just called Ye Ze. He’ll pick me up.”

Li Tingshen’s face darkened.

“Remember to bring the food box home after you’re done was.h.i.+ng it. It’s not convenient for me to go out. I’ll get going first. I won’t disturb you from your work.”

As she said this, she had already walked to the door and opened it. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the office.

Li Tingshen stared at the closed door with a dark expression, like the gray weather outside.

When Ye Qingqiu went downstairs, Ye Ze was already waiting at the entrance of the company. When he saw her coming out, he immediately opened the car door for her.

However, Ye Qingqiu didn’t move.

“Give me the car keys. I’ll drive myself today.”

Ye Ze was stunned. “You don’t have a driver’s license.”

“You taught me how to drive and I know the traffic rules. Without a driver’s license, even if I’m found out, I think you’ll help me handle it well.”

Ye Ze frowned. “The weather forecast will snow in the afternoon.”

“Other people can drive on snowy days, but I can’t?”

“Miss, for your safety…”

“Brother Ye Ze, no matter what you say, I still have to drive. If you don’t give me the car keys, I can go to the 4S shop and get a car.”

Ye Ze didn’t doubt the authenticity of Ye Qingqiu’s words at all. Compared to her going to the 4S store to carry a car that he wasn’t familiar with, it was better to give this car to her.

After taking the car keys, Ye Qingqiu got into the car in satisfaction. The door of the pa.s.senger seat opened and Ye Ze wanted to bend down to get in, but Ye Qingqiu stopped him.

“You don’t have to follow me.”

Ye Ze paused. “Miss, if anything happens to you, I don’t know how to report to Master.”

“Are you hoping that something will happen to me?”

Ye Ze was speechless.

“Close the door.”

Watching Ye Qingqiu drive away, Ye Ze turned to look at the entrance of the Li Corporation with a sinister expression.

Actually, Ye Qingqiu’s driving skills were not bad. Of course, it was limited to normal driving.

She wasn’t qualified to race.

Ye Qingqiu cherished her life and was especially afraid of pain. Naturally, she wouldn’t make herself suffer.

It was just that she was really bored. She didn’t lack anything when shopping, and it was boring to stay at home every day.

After thinking about it, she could only visit Luo Luo.

Li Tingshen knew her well enough.

Thinking about it now, it was quite ironic. In the eyes of outsiders, life was really boring.

It was snowing and the temperature was lower than usual. Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to get out of the car, so she ordered a hundred cups of milk tea and cake with her phone and wrote the address of Luo Luo’s production team.

The brand was the same cake that Xiao Chu bought for her every time she went to the company.

Luoluo had already finished filming her previous drama. This time, it was a new drama.

Perhaps Ye Qingqiu’s pillow talk was very successful. Luo Luo’s treatment in C&P was not bad. Although the manager and a.s.sistant Li Tingshen a.s.signed to her were not the best, they were worthy of her current status.

The role given to her by her manager was probably a period drama.

This movie was also a supporting role. He probably wanted her to stabilize her footsteps and win the Best Supporting Actor award first.

Luo Luo was from a poor family. A steady and steady relations.h.i.+p would allow her to go further. With her acting skills, even if she had an opponent in the future, she wouldn’t be criticized easily.

When Ye Qingqiu arrived at the set, the actors’ ears turned red from the cold. When they heard that someone had visited the set to treat everyone to milk tea, everyone cheered.

Ye Qingqiu and Luo Luo sat in the shed. She looked at the people around them who were holding milk tea and stomping their feet. Then, she looked at the calm Luo Luo and asked her in boredom.

“You’re not cold?”

Luoluo smiled and lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her leather pants. She even lifted the hem of her pants to show her. She blinked and said slyly, “It’s velvet.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Are they stupid?”

“It’s all for the sake of appearing prettier on screen. The more I wear, the more bloated I become.”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. It was understandable.

Luo Luo held the milk tea and looked at her. “Are you in a bad mood?”

“What did I do to make you think that I’m in a bad mood?”

Luo Luo smiled at the milk tea in her hand and pointed outside. “It’s snowing.”

Ye Qingqiu took a look. Indeed, it was snowing.

“So I’m in a bad mood because it’s snowing?”

“That’s why you went out and came all the way here despite the bad weather. How much do you love me that you chose to visit me today?”

The princess of Ping Cheng City was delicate and n.o.ble. She couldn’t bear to go out in such weather.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. He was right.

Resting her chin on her hand, she fed him a mouthful of cake. “That’s why it’s snowing. Are you still able to film this afternoon?”

“Is the director a vegetarian? How can he not pay attention to the weather forecast when he’s filming? I’ve already arranged for the scenes in the studio. However, my scenes should take a long time. If you’re unhappy, you can tell me. I can still be a secret listener.”

Ye Qingqiu looked down at the cake in her arms and put down the fork in her hand.

“You don’t know what to say? No one is at fault. I’m probably just not happy.”

Luo Luo took a sip of milk tea and heaved a sigh of relief. “Everyone knows about the car accident not long ago. There are many rumors online. I can guess why you’re unhappy. But it’s been more than a month. Do you only feel unhappy now?”

Ye Qingqiu looked up at Luo Luo and chuckled.

“It sounds like anyone who knows anything will think that I’m unhappy. So, am I really looking for trouble?”

Luoluo thought for a while and nodded. “Since you know that no one is in the wrong, you still feel that you’re the one who’s unhappy. However, it’s normal for you to feel that way. However, you can’t change anything about this. The only thing you can do is to let yourself be more open-minded.”

“He’s in love with you and grateful to her. You’re his and he’s yours. He can treat you badly because you’re the closest to him. Some of the bad things can be slowly digested by this stable relations.h.i.+p or marriage. But he can’t treat her badly because once she loses something in the end, or there are other accidents in between, it will only make him feel like he owes her more. Whether it’s him or any of us, the last thing we want to owe is a favor. The hardest thing to repay is also a favor. Once something goes wrong, this favor might haunt him for the rest of his life.”

Ye Qingqiu thought that she probably thought the same, but she had never concluded it word by word.

So for so long, she had acquiesced to everything.

But—

“Are you sure that grat.i.tude is just grat.i.tude and won’t develop other feelings? He’s in love with me, so he’s mine… Let’s not talk about whether it’s love or not, but it’s not love. Perhaps, to be more specific, for example, won’t they get together because of grat.i.tude?”

Luo Luo paused and shook her head.

“I don’t know, but what are you afraid of? Do you think he will abandon you because of her?”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “Luoluo, if I really put this problem in front of him and let him make a choice, my chances of winning are not high.”

Surprise flashed across Luo Luo’s face.

Ye Qingqiu smiled sarcastically and bitterly.

What were her odds?

A relations.h.i.+p where he wouldn’t love her?

Or the Ye Corporation?

Or was it her personal charm?

And Liang Xuer?

Now, she was willing to sacrifice her life for him.

She had his grat.i.tude and debt to her.

She had Lian Lili’s preference and support.

Even the Ye Corporation had its share.

On the basis that he didn’t love her or Liang Xuer, what chance did she have?

Until now, the only thing that maintained their relations.h.i.+p was her humility and compromise.

If she had any backbone, the two of them would have become enemies and taken revenge on each other.

She could understand him, but it was a fact that she was unhappy.

Luoluo couldn’t comfort him. It would be good if there was a conclusion regarding relations.h.i.+ps.

“I don’t have a chance tonight. The snow probably won’t stop anytime soon. It’s not safe for you to drive in this weather. Do you want to wait for me? We can have dinner together tonight. Hmm… a hotpot is the most suitable for snow. What do you think?”

Luoluo suggested to change the topic and tried her best to make Ye Qingqiu happier.

Looking at the situation outside, Ye Qingqiu nodded.

“Okay.”

Luoluo heaved a sigh of relief.

Coincidentally, there was a scene in the script. The director was very satisfied with the snow today and the filming went smoothly.

After filming the last scene, he was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the main actors.

After all, every main actor had some status. They had to give him some face.

What was left was the background scene of the extras.

Luo Luo entered the shed to look for Ye Qingqiu. “Let’s wrap up today. Everyone wants to eat hotpot together. If you don’t want many people, I won’t sign up.”

Hot pot…

She heard that it tasted better when there were more people.

“It’s alright, let’s eat together.”

*

Luo Luo had a good relations.h.i.+p with the production team. Among the five or six people, Ye Qingqiu looked familiar. She must have seen her on social media and entertainment news.

This drama shouldn’t be a small investment. She could guess from the few actors.

Luoluo gave Ye Qingqiu a brief introduction before saying,

“There’s probably no s.p.a.ce in the nearby hotpot restaurant at this time. Coincidentally, Song Muchen has a property nearby. We’ll eat there tonight. He has already sent his a.s.sistant to the supermarket to buy food.”

Ye Qingqiu looked around, but she didn’t see Song Muchen.

She was familiar with this name. He had been nominated for the Best Actor Award last year. Other than the male lead in the drama, he was the most popular and his popularity had been stable for the past two years.

There were no scandals and no hype. There was no need to mention her looks. She had a gentle temperament and seemed to have a good temper. Her impression of her had always been a faint smile.

“Muchi is removing his makeup. He has a fight scene today and it’s a little difficult to remove his makeup. He should be out soon.”

A woman’s voice sounded from the side. Her voice was calm and composed, and it was hard not to remember her.

Luo Luo had introduced her as the female lead, s.h.i.+ Mo.

Not long after s.h.i.+ Mo finished speaking, a nanny van stopped beside them.

The five of them could sit down.

Song Muqing got down and asked them to get into the car. When she saw Ye Qingqiu, she smiled and said, “I heard from Luoluo that you drove here yourself. It’s a little dangerous for you to drive when there’s snow on the road. Can you wait for the snow to stop before driving? Or give me the key and I’ll arrange for someone to send you back.”

Seeing that it was snowing heavily, Ye Qingqiu was no longer as domineering as when she was talking to Ye Ze. Coincidentally, Ye Ze called her for the nth time. She was a little impatient and took out her phone to hang up. She switched it off and threw it into her bag. She said, “Anything is fine.” Then, she got into the car.
