Chapter 2080: Sorry

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Chu didn’t continue.

Seeing that she was in a good mood today, he wanted to help ease the tension between them.

It was considered good even if it played a small role.

The result was obvious.

If he said anything more to her, she might jump out of the car.

After sending her to her apartment, Ye Qingqiu pressed the b.u.t.ton for the sixteenth floor.

Xiao Chu’s head hurt.

“Why? You can’t even drop by?”

Xiao Chu said nothing.

Because she had called Shen Fanxing in the car, she opened the door quickly.

Ye Qingqiu shut Xiao Chu out.

Shen Fanxing was eating fruits with a fruit platter. She was wearing simple home clothes and her long hair was tied into a bun. She looked gentle and elegant.

“Your body is fine?”

Ye Qingqiu sat beside her and nodded. She reached out to pick up a piece of fruit from Shen Fanxing’s arms and placed it in her mouth.

“How are you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

“I don’t know. I’m probably going to Grandma’s place.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and swallowed the fruit in her mouth. Upon hearing that, she sat there and savored the sweetness in her mouth before taking another piece.

Shen Fanxing glanced at her and picked up a piece of fruit.

“It’s okay. Grandma likes crowds. You don’t have to feel troubled.”

Ye Qingqiu stopped chewing her fruit and choked. She looked at Shen Fanxing with reddened eyes.

“Do you know what I want to say?”

Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “How many things in this world can make you hesitate?”

Shen Fanxing lowered her head and fiddled with the remaining fruits on her plate. “I’ll go to the orphanage a day earlier to fetch Linlin. He’ll spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with us. If you can hide it from him, come.”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “Thank you.”

Shen Fanxing saw the tears in the stubborn woman’s eyes. Her choked voice was heartbreaking.

The two of them had never been the type to display their feelings in front of others, making themselves look pitiful and pretentious.

However, the more she endured and pretended not to care, the more sad she felt.

She could also feel that Ye Qingqiu treated her as the only person she could rely on.

To be trusted like this, she naturally had to live up to her trust.

She reached out and lifted Ye Qingqiu’s chin. “Ah Chuan isn’t around these few days. I’m bored. Accompany me.”

Looking at Shen Fanxing’s beautiful and heroic face, Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darted to her stomach.

“Are you a lesbian? Do you like both men and women?”

Shen Fanxing frowned and turned to look at her seriously.

“I think it’s very strange.”

Ye Qingqiu took another piece of fruit from the plate. “What’s strange?”

“What’s wrong with me? Why do most people think that I’m flirting with women?”

“Cough… Cough…”

The elegant Ye Qingqiu choked on the fruit in her mouth when she heard Shen Fanxing’s words.

Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and patted Ye Qingqiu’s back gently.

Ye Qingqiu took a long time to calm down before Shen Fanxing handed her another gla.s.s of water.

Ye Qingqiu said, “Isn’t that the answer?”

Shen Fanxing asked in confusion, “What?”

“Your features are a little heroic and you’re tall. You’re also the CEO of a company. You’re handsome, rich and capable. What do you think girls like nowadays?”

Shen Fanxing rested her chin on her hand and muttered, “That’s true. So they can be indiscriminate?”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Young ladies nowadays are so trendy. It’s not rare for them to be gay.”

…

The two of them chatted for a long time. When they opened the door, Xiao Chu was still standing outside.

Seeing her come out, the dispirited person instantly perked up. “Miss Ye…”

Ye Qingqiu closed the door and walked towards the elevator. “If possible, I really want to put in a good word for you in front of Li Tingshen and ask him to give you more salary.”

“Thank you, Miss Ye.”

Ye Qingqiu remained silent.

She took the elevator to the 18th floor and went downstairs after taking two sets of clothes.

Xiao Chu said, “Miss Ye, this is…”

“Oh, President Shen asked me to have dinner with her. Then, she wanted to watch the stars and the moon with me to talk about philosophy…”

Xiao Chu was speechless.

“If you have something on, you can leave first. I won’t make things difficult for CEO Shen, understand?”

…

Li Tingshen rushed back from the company at eight and went straight to the 16th floor.

The moment Shen Fanxing opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of a tall and slender man in a suit. His handsome face was as cold as ice.

She was still smiling when they met a few days ago. She was elegant and gentlemanly.

She couldn’t even be bothered to pretend anymore.

His face was gloomy and his voice was cold.

“Where is she?” As she spoke, she had already looked into the house.

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and replied, “Inside.”

Seeing a few strands of hair on the sofa, Li Tingshen relaxed a little.

“Are you done chatting?”

“Not yet.”

“It’s getting late.”

“It’s fine. If she’s tired, she can sleep here.”

Li Tingshen’s gaze landed on Shen Fanxing. “Shen Fanxing.”

Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and called his name.

“What can I do to her? You’re Ah Chuan’s good brother. I won’t let him be in the wrong in front of you.”

Li Tingshen looked at her solemnly and said in a cold voice, “He forgets his friends when he sees a woman.”

Even if this woman really did something, that man would definitely stand on her side without thinking.

“…”

Brilliant.

Even though she was speechless, Shen Fanxing was elated.

She didn’t hide her smile. “See what kind of man I’ve found? What about you? Are you a womanizer?”

Li Tingshen suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Fanxing got the answer from his reaction and smiled. “Goodnight.”

She wanted to close the door, but it was stopped halfway.

“You can chat, but she has to go up to sleep tonight.”

Shen Fanxing replied, “It’s Ah Chuan and my birthday.”

Li Tingshen paused for a second. “Shallow.”

10 p.m.

The door of the apartment on the 16th floor opened and the tall man found the guest room with ease. Not long after, he gently carried the sleeping woman out.

In the living room, Shen Fanxing was holding a gla.s.s of milk and her phone. She had recorded the man’s “rape” in the middle of the night.

Li Tingshen’s dark eyes were filled with a layer of ice. His usual elegant and kind face had completely given up in front of Shen Fanxing.

“Meaningful?”

Shen Fanxing smiled and replied, “Of course.”

The woman in his arms moved slightly. Li Tingshen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else. He carried her and walked out of the apartment with steady and careful steps.

Shen Fanxing kept her phone and stared at the closed door for a few seconds before shaking her head with a smile.

Three years ago, the Ye Corporation was in turmoil. In the end, he was the one who turned the tide and stabilized his position.

In just two years, the 18th floor of the Li Corporation had become the 36th floor. In three years, it had gone from being heavily in debt to one of the most famous companies in the country.

C&P Entertainment had dominated the entertainment industry for a few years.

This was something she knew and didn’t know.

These three things were enough to be called miracles.

Such a brilliant and intelligent person. Even if he fell in love, would he continue to fall?

She was quite curious.

She was curious about the outcome between him and Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen gently placed Ye Qingqiu on the bed and tidied her messy hair. He covered her with the blanket and sat by the bed, watching her quietly.

What right did he have to say that Shen Fanxing used her and Bo Jinchuan’s birthday as a pa.s.sword?

02072791227

The pa.s.sword to their apartment back then.

It was also their birthday.

Was she shallow?

His lips twitched imperceptibly as he reached out to caress Ye Qingqiu’s fair and tender face.

‘No.’

No one knew how he felt when he guessed the pa.s.sword correctly.

She was satisfied, proud, and secretly delighted.

How long had it been since he last saw her?

She saw him every day.

He had to visit her every day, even when she was asleep.

Three years…

Now, he couldn’t take it anymore.

He had to see her with his own eyes to feel at ease. She was right there, right under his nose.

Thinking of how she was afraid that she didn’t know that she loved him in the past, how she chose to endure and compromise, and how her eyes were filled with his shadow…

Every time she thought of him, her heart ached.

“Qingqiu…”

He murmured softly and leaned over to press his forehead gently against hers.

His warm breath landed on her face.

There seemed to be a fragrance on her body, which was the same as three years ago.

Li Tingshen’s thin lips touched the tip of her nose.

He paused and s.h.i.+fted his gaze to her pursed lips.

He tightened his grip on her hair and before he collapsed, he kissed the lips that he had been longing for.

He kissed her carefully.

However, the heat emanating from Ye Qingqiu’s body along with her scent was like the most potent drug, numbing all his rationality and restraint.

His light kiss deepened and he opened her lips, ravaging her wantonly.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyelashes fluttered. The familiar yet distant feeling made her feel that everything was fake.

She opened her eyes slowly. When she finally realized that this was reality, she was stunned. She wanted to push her away, but she grabbed the bedsheets tightly.

Sensing that she had woken up, Li Tingshen stopped.

He kissed her pa.s.sionately. Even when he let go of her, he still pecked the tip of her nose gently and pressed his forehead against hers.

His ragged breathing landed on her skin, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e.

“Sorry…”

Ye Qingqiu could feel his forbearance.

She didn’t move and just stared at him quietly.

Li Tingshen’s heart tightened at her calm gaze.

“Sorry…” He wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her even tighter.

Ye Qingqiu allowed him to hug her tightly as she stared at the ceiling quietly. No one knew what she was thinking.

After a long while, Li Tingshen slowly let go of her and looked down at her.

Her expression was normal. “I remember sleeping downstairs.”

“Yes, I carried you up.”

Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes slowly and didn’t say anything else.

At night, Li Tingshen still slept on the same bed as her. She didn’t reject him.

The next day, Ye Qingqiu woke up early, but Li Tingshen was no longer around.

She went downstairs and found him in the dining room.

“Why didn’t you sleep more?”

He glanced at the servant, who quickly took a new set of dishes and placed them opposite him.

Ye Qingqiu frowned and sat down. “I’m hungry.”

Mother w.a.n.g was a little surprised. It was rare to see Miss Ye speaking to Mr Li so calmly.

Li Tingshen looked at her for two seconds before his lips curled into a faint smile. “What do you want to eat?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at the breakfast in front of him. “Someone like you.”

Mother w.a.n.g was overjoyed. “I’ll prepare it immediately.”

Li Tingshen didn’t touch the breakfast on the plate. Instead, he pushed the milk to her.

“Drink this first.”

Ye Qingqiu picked it up and took two sips slowly.

Li Tingshen stared at her with his dark eyes until Mother w.a.n.g brought the breakfast out.

Mother w.a.n.g placed the milk prepared for Ye Qingqiu in front of Li Tingshen with a smile.

The two of them ate breakfast peacefully.

Li Tingshen had clearly sat in the dining room before her, so he should have eaten much faster than her.

However, they finished it almost at the same time.

“I’m going to the company.”

Li Tingshen stood at the door, his gaze locked on Ye Qingqiu’s face.

Ye Qingqiu asked calmly, “So?”

Li Tingshen extended his long arm and pulled her to him.

“Ye Qingqiu…”

‘What are you thinking?’

“Yes?”

Li Tingshen paused. “…Kiss me.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at him quietly. “Do you have to do this?”

“A kiss?”

Her eyes moved slightly. Ye Qingqiu hesitated for a while, but she still tiptoed and kissed the corner of his lips.

His eyes darkened and his arm around her waist tightened. Without any hesitation, he exerted force and pressed her against the wall.

The kiss landed at the same time.

Ye Qingqiu raised her head. Even though she gritted her teeth, he barged in domineeringly.

She tried to chase him out, but he chased after her.

Her back was pressed against the wall, hard and cold.

Li Tingshen let go of her and wiped the corners of her lips with his fingers. His voice was low and gentle.

“What do you want to do today?”

Ye Qingqiu tilted her head and said, “I have nothing to do. I should go downstairs to chat with Shen Fanxing or watch a drama.”

Her hand paused before she retracted it. Her gaze wandered to her flushed face.

“…Yes. Wait for me at home for dinner tonight.”

“Not necessarily… Maybe I’ll eat with Shen Fanxing when I’m hungry.”

“Okay.”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything. He straightened his back and walked out.

Separated by the door, the man’s dark eyes were filled with darkness.

“Miss Ye went to the 16th floor not long after you left. She went for a walk with CEO Shen and waited until lunch. At 2:30 pm, the two of them went to the supermarket and bought a lot of groceries and other daily necessities. She returned to the apartment at 4 pm and is still at CEO Shen’s house.”

Xiao Chu was very puzzled. Although he had to report Miss Ye’s whereabouts to CEO Li every day, it wasn’t as detailed as today.

After Li Tingshen heard that, he fell silent for a moment before nodding.
