The dishes were Li Tingshen’s.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to accompany him. The moment she walked out, she was stared at by the father and son in the living room.

“Finished eating?”

“I’m eating.”

Ye Jianyun asked, “Are you two really fine?”

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “I came out to get my cup.”

She walked to the coffee table, bent down to pick up her gla.s.s of water, and walked back to the dining room.

Li Tingshen seemed to have guessed that she would come back to eat with him obediently. He only looked up at her when she sat opposite him.

“If you really want to mess with me, the Ye family is better off in the apartment.”

Ye Qingqiu held the cup with a calm expression.

“No, I’ll be staying here for the time being.”

Li Tingshen frowned and slowly chewed the food in his mouth before putting down his chopsticks.

“Haven’t I explained enough today?”

“Even if you don’t explain, I’m very clear. If you explain, I’ll understand even more.” Ye Qingqiu raised her gla.s.s and took a sip. “I said I’m not fooling around with you. There’s no need to waste time on the same person or the same thing.”

Li Tingshen picked up a napkin and wiped it. “So you’re telling me that you suddenly want to move back for no reason?”

“If you want a reason, it’s not that I don’t have one. I’m on vacation, you’re busy, and I need someone to accompany me. What you lack the most is time. In fact, I didn’t intend to stay here on the way back today. When I saw my father, I changed my mind at the last minute. You don’t have time to accompany me, and he happens to need someone to accompany him. Are these reasons enough to prove that I’m really not fooling around with you?”

Her face was calm and her lips curled into a faint smile.

In the end, coupled with her expression, it seemed to have given her an answer.

‘Do you believe me?’

‘I’ll prove it to you if you don’t believe me.’

Li Tingshen’s lips twitched.

And she said she wasn’t fooling around.

“If you want to stay, then stay. It’s just a little inconvenient here.”

“It’s my own home. There’s nothing inconvenient about it.”

Li Tingshen picked up the gla.s.s and drank quietly.

“Up to you.”

Ye Qingqiu was a little surprised that he would relent so easily, but it was only for a moment.

Because even if he didn’t agree today, it was useless.

It was only later that Ye Qingqiu realized why he said it was inconvenient and why he compromised so easily.

After dinner, he followed the father and son to the study.

Needless to say, other than the company’s matters, there was nothing else they could talk about.

Ye Qingqiu was looking at the small items on the shopping app.

A mug, thermos, castle Legos, and a pen and notebook.

It wasn’t that she liked to study. She just liked to sit there and scribble.

There was a knock on the door and the servant opened it. It was Xiao Chu.

“Good evening, Miss Ye.”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at him. “You’re so inhumane. It’s so cold, yet you’re still running in the middle of the night.”

Xiao Chu laughed dryly.

“He’s upstairs discussing something. You can sit down and wait for him.”

“Oh, there’s no need. I’m fine. Master asked me to bring him some clothes. I’ll leave now.”

Ye Qingqiu finally looked up and saw a gray suitcase beside Xiao Chu.

“…”

Seeing this, Uncle Ye quickly got the servants to carry the luggage upstairs.

Xiao Chu didn’t stay any longer and bade farewell.

At this moment, a servant served the milk. Ye Qingqiu waited to finish the milk before going upstairs.

The few men huddled together, not knowing what to talk about. They didn’t seem to have any intention of coming out.

The servants went in to refill the water several times.

She went into the house to find her clothes and went to the bathroom. The servants had already prepared the water.

It had probably been a while since she had a good bath. After adapting to the water temperature, she slowly slid into the bathtub and sighed comfortably.

Outside the window beside the bathtub were flowerbeds and a fountain. There were floor lights spinning around the fountain.

She must have opened it on purpose because she was back.

In the past, when she took a bath, she asked her father to get her a fountain and lights because she was bored.

After all these years, it had become a habit for her to take a look there whenever she took a bath.

She leaned against the edge of the bathtub and stared at it for a while before leaning against it. She wrung a hot towel and placed it over her eyes.

There was Jasmine essential oil in the bathtub that could relieve fatigue. After putting on the towel, she didn’t move again.

In a daze, she felt a sudden chill.

Feeling the coldness, she subconsciously slid down.

At the same time, she raised her hand to remove the towel from her eyes. However, she was grabbed by a hand halfway and her body was lifted.

The towel slipped and she looked up to see the man frowning at her.

“You want to be the first person to drown in the bathtub?”

She was indeed shocked, but it was because of this man who had appeared silently in the bathroom.

The warmth in the bathroom dissipated when he opened the door. That was why she felt cold.

“Even so, who do you think is responsible?”

Ye Qingqiu wanted to shake his hand off, but he let go first.

Then, he stood beside her and undressed.

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “What are you doing?”

Li Tingshen didn’t stop at all. He took off his clothes and threw them into the basket. “Do I have to swim in the bathroom?”

Ye Qingqiu paused and grabbed the towel beside the bathtub. She stood up and stepped out of the bathtub. Before she could leave, she was pulled into someone’s embrace.

She clutched the towel around her chest and glared at the man.

“Li Tingshen! What do you want?”

Li Tingshen looked at the woman in his arms. It was unknown if she was angry or because she had taken a bath for too long, but her red face was even more charming than usual.

His lips twitched and he lowered his head to give her a light peck. His low and lazy voice was bewitching.

“Come out with me.”

The anger in Ye Qingqiu’s chest dissipated. “You shouldn’t drown after taking a shower.”

Li Tingshen gave a low laugh. Compared to her quiet and docile appearance, which was covered in thorns all the time, he preferred her current flamboyant look.

Ignoring her sarcastic words, Li Tingshen reached out and twirled her wet hair. “I’ll wash your hair.”

“No…”

Warm water poured down from above, interrupting Ye Qingqiu’s rejection.

Li Tingshen didn’t even think of asking for her permission before turning on the shower.

Anger burned in Ye Qingqiu’s heart, but Li Tingshen’s hand blocked her eyes.

“Close your eyes.”

It wasn’t that Ye Qingqiu had no bottom line, but this man had a hundred ways to disperse her anger.

She stood rooted to the ground and the towel was pulled away by him.

Ye Qingqiu was at a loss of what to do with her hands. She could only place them in front of her to cover some of the l.u.s.t.

He applied the shampoo and rubbed her hair patiently for a long time. Finally, he pressed her head into his embrace and took the showerhead to wash her.

Ye Qingqiu lowered her head and closed her eyes, thinking that her taste was indeed not useless. There were more than one or two reasons why she liked this man.

After applying conditioner, he pushed her to the wall and stood there. While waiting, he took a simple shower.

Ye Qingqiu looked at him calmly. “Xiao Chu brought you clothes. Do you want to stay here?”

“Is there anything you shouldn’t do?”

“Compared to the apartment, it will take a long time to get to the company.”

“Yes. Since you insist on staying here, I can’t forcefully tie you back.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were filled with anger.

Li Tingshen smiled and inched closer to her.

“It’s okay. It’s just a matter of getting up half an hour early. It’s much better than letting me sleep all night.”

“You can’t sleep alone?”

“Why should I?” Li Tingshen’s gaze wandered slowly from her face to her beautiful body.

His eyes darkened imperceptibly as he pulled her into his embrace. The warm water from the shower landed on her head.

Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes to prevent the water from flowing into her eyes. All she could think of was his concise answer.

When she realized that something was pressing against her stubbornly, Li Tingshen had already hung the showerhead far away and placed his hand on her waist.

“I have to dry my hair now…”

Ye Qingqiu’s voice was a little tense. “Let go. I’ll go out and blow myself.”

“So I won’t go out first.”

Ye Qingqiu stopped breathing. Before she could react, her lips were suddenly pressed against Li Tingshen’s.

His long legs pushed hers away and he barged in with ease.

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips, afraid that she would scream.

She punched his shoulder twice in anger.

“This is the Ye family!”

“I said it wasn’t convenient. I thought you didn’t mind. But you might need to lower your voice later.”

Ye Qingqiu’s leg hung on his waist and the scene in front of her gradually faded…

Ye Qingqiu was already drowsy.

He turned off the hairdryer and put on her pajamas. Just as he placed her on the bed, she grabbed the blanket and turned her back to him. Her soft hair almost covered the entire pillow.

Li Tingshen went around the bed and Ye Qingqiu happened to be facing him.

Realizing something, she was about to turn around when Li Tingshen pulled her into his embrace.

She didn’t have much strength left. If she avoided him, he would definitely pester her again.

He looked as though he couldn’t sleep without hugging her, as though he couldn’t leave her.

She was too tired to argue with him.

*

The next day.

When Ye Qingqiu woke up, Li Tingshen was no longer around.

Before the mottled marks on her body dissipated, another layer had been added last night.

She said that Li Tingshen was meticulous, gentle and protective.

Even if her wrist hurt, he would treat it for her. Now that there were marks all over her body, he looked delighted.

In comparison, they seemed to be worthy of the word ‘sc.u.m’.

She washed up and put on her loose home clothes before going downstairs.

She looked lazy and listless when she went downstairs.

Ye Jianyun had already played two rounds of chess with Old Master Ye after returning from his morning exercise. When he saw Ye Qingqiu, he shook his head dotingly and helplessly.

“You have to change your habit of skipping breakfast.”

Ye Qingqiu took the milk from the servant and drank half of it before sitting on the sofa.

“Of course, it’s more important to sleep during the holidays.”

“Nonsense! Not eating breakfast is harmful to the body and sleeping too much is not good for the body. Of course, breakfast is the most important. Why are you still at home? Why didn’t you leave with Tingshen?!”

The old man was so angry that Ye Qingqiu didn’t dare to speak for a long time.

“… Why did he leave with him?”

“To the company! After you’re done, you can go to the company to learn something. Don’t become blind. Why? Didn’t Tingshen tell you?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and resisted.

“No, I don’t think he agreed. That’s why he didn’t tell me.”

Ye Jianyun laughed. “You sure know how to s.h.i.+ft the blame to him.”

And he didn’t agree.

“But he didn’t tell me.”

Ye Jianyun could tell that she really didn’t know, so he didn’t mention it again.

“I’ll go to the hospital with your grandfather to visit Xu’er later. Do you want to go?”

“No.” Ye Qingqiu placed her legs on the sofa and rested her elbows on the armrest. She sat elegantly, but her laziness was evident.

“Then you can have lunch alone at home.”

“…”

She had just returned and she had to eat alone.

Last night, the father and son had mentioned Liang Xuer several times.

It made it seem like they were having a meal together at home and Liang Xuer was left alone in the hospital. It was inappropriate and cold-blooded.

After the “guiltful” meal, they had to go to the hospital the next day.

Ye Qingqiu sneered silently.

Who said that the Ye family was mean to Liang Xuer? She would tear their mouths apart.

Li Tingshen rushed back for dinner.

The timing was right on time.

After eating, he went upstairs first. Ye Qingqiu sat in the living room with Ye Jianyun and Grandpa for a while before going upstairs to the bedroom. Li Tingshen was busy at her desk.

She didn’t say anything and went to the bathroom. After entering, she turned around and locked the bathroom door.

After taking a simple shower today, Li Tingshen was still busy when she came out. She went to bed to play with her phone.

Not long after, Li Tingshen seemed to have finished his work. He stood up and saw her sitting on the bed. He walked over, caressed her forehead, and bent down to peck her lips.

“I’m going to take a shower. Don’t sleep yet. Wait for me, okay?”

Ye Qingqiu looked at him lazily. “How unsatisfied are you? You haven’t stopped for the past few days…”

Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow with a hint of mockery on his handsome face.

“What did I say that made you think I wouldn’t let you rest tonight?”

Ye Qingqiu’s mouth twitched. “…Then why did you ask me to wait for you?”

Li Tingshen chuckled. “Mrs. Li, there are still many things we can talk about.”

Ye Qingqiu’s face was a little red as she pushed him away. “Hurry up and shower then.”

Li Tingshen wasn’t pushed away by her. Instead, he pressed his body against hers and kissed her pa.s.sionately.

Ye Qingqiu almost couldn’t breathe.

She raised her hand to hit his shoulder and whimpered before Li Tingshen let go of her.

“Are you trying to kiss me to death?”

These words were so adorable that Li Tingshen chuckled softly.

“You can’t bear to kiss me to death, but you misunderstood me just now. Mrs Li, this is your punishment.”
