Chapter 1333: Did You Hear or Not Understand?
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and his voice seemed to freeze the moment it came into contact with the air.
“Where are we going?”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t act dumb. She turned around and looked at Li Tingshen. “Naturally, I’m making space for the guests…”
She paused and a surprised smile appeared on her face. “Mr Li, I don’t… have the obligation to entertain you, right?”
Just a faint smile made her face look really bright and beautiful.
However, that smile looked as fake as it could be.
“I have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
The moment she turned her head, her smile disappeared. Shen Fanxing watched as the man, who was sitting steadily like a mountain, stood up. With a cold aura, he raised his eyes and exuded a domineering aura. Then, he disappeared.
Bo Jinchuan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and caressed it gently.
Shen Fanxing shifted her gaze to his face and the shock in her heart gradually subsided.
Ye Qingqiu had just put on her shoes and was about to leave when someone grabbed her arm.
She turned her head and saw the man’s dark and handsome face.
She raised an eyebrow, but the smile had long disappeared from her eyes.
“How?”
“Dinner.”
Ye Qingqiu found it funny. “I have no reason to starve myself.”
“Then let’s eat!”
The man’s voice sounded calm, but everyone present could tell that his words seemed to carry a weight.
If his calmness was a cover for Ye Qingqiu,
The force of his grip on her arm made Ye Qingqiu lose her patience completely.
“I said I have something on. Are you sure you want to interfere in this unnecessary matter? Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh at you?”
Li Tingshen looked at her quietly. His eyes were deep and unreadable, and his expression was dark.
“Are you sure you want to continue arguing with me?”
Ye Qingqiu looked up at the man who was much taller than her. “Did you not hear or not understand me?”
The servants in the living room gasped, followed by a cold atmosphere.
Although they had not worked in this apartment for long, there were not many opportunities for these two owners to meet.
Most of the time, they felt that work was easy, but when the two of them met, the energy they had accumulated could be counted… No, it was doubled.
Were the two of them hard to please?
Personally, he was not. In fact, he was very easy to serve.
But once the two of them appeared in this house, it would be a disaster for the servants.
Sometimes, they really couldn’t understand how these two people interacted.
This young woman lived in the house bought by Mr Li without any status. In anyone’s eyes, she was just a mistress who could not be exposed.
However, since she had become a mistress, her sugar daddy had provided her with good food and accommodation. It was just a simple matter of pleasing her sugar daddy. Why did everything change when it came to her?
The moment the two of them met, the atmosphere froze.
A mistress didn’t look like a mistress. A sugar daddy didn’t look like a sugar daddy.
Did you not hear or not understand?
In other words, or her underlying meaning was—
‘Are you deaf or stupid?’
Look, did this sound like something a mistress should say?
If the servants could understand, there was no reason why the others in the living room couldn’t.
The atmosphere fell into a deadlock. Ye Qingqiu moved her arm, but Li Tingshen increased his strength.
It was excruciating.
Ye Qingqiu’s face darkened and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. It was obvious under the light.
Li Ting’s narrowed eyes widened and he loosened his grip.
Sensing that Ye Qingqiu was about to retract her hand, he tightened his grip.
“Go out after dinner. There’s not enough time. I’ll get someone to send you there.”
He took the initiative to stop Ye Qingqiu from speaking. His voice sounded very good-tempered.
Only then did the servants in the living room dare to wipe the cold sweat off their faces.
They had never understood Mr Li’s temper.
He was the one who flew into a rage because of a small matter. It was something that he couldn’t get over no matter what, but it might become nothing to him.
Like now.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything. She was considering how to say the vicious words in her heart in a different way to save some face for the few guests she was familiar with today.
Shen Fanxing watched the competition quietly. In the end, she stood up from Bo Jinchuan’s embrace.
“It’s rare for us to be together. Let’s have dinner.”
She approached the two of them and her gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu’s face. She suddenly pursed her lips and said, “It seems like you’ve been working too hard recently. You’re so prejudiced against me that you won’t even eat with me?”
Ye Qingqiu turned to look at her.
Believe her nonsense?
“Since I’m going to be on set next week, why don’t I give you a day off tomorrow? After I’m done, I’ll accompany my mother to the orphanage tomorrow. Do you want to go out to relax in the suburbs?”
Ye Qingqiu’s heart tightened and her eyes trembled uncontrollably.
“Welfare institute… for what?”
As she spoke, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Li Tingshen grabbed her wrist. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she could feel his pulse.
Ye Qingqiu wriggled twice. It was obvious that this woman wanted to give Shen Fanxing face, so she let go.
There was an obvious red mark on her fair wrist. Li Tingshen’s gaze followed her, but Ye Qingqiu covered it with her other hand and rubbed it gently.
Shen Fanxing knew that the deadlock had been resolved. She smiled and continued,
“My mother grew up there. And…”
She patted her stomach and smiled gently. “Perhaps because I’m pregnant, I can’t wait to see the children…”
Shen Fanxing was wary of Li Tingshen.
It was obvious that Ye Qingqiu was nervous. Hence, she threw out two important reasons in an attempt to completely eliminate Li Tingshen’s attention on the orphanage.
He had to dispel it because there were secrets there that he must not know.
Surprise flashed across Ye Qingqiu’s rarely-seen face.
His gaze was fixed on her stomach. “You…”
Even Li Tingshen was stunned when he heard the news.
