Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No. You sleep first.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything else.
Li Tingshen was still staring at her.
A minute of silence lingered in the room.
With such a person standing beside her, how could Ye Qingqiu fall asleep?
“Aren’t you leaving?” she asked calmly, but there was anger in her voice.
“The water isn’t cold yet.” Li Tingshen’s voice was still deep and calm.
“I don’t have the habit of drinking water before going to bed.”
“You need to drink medicine now.”
Ye Qingqiu’s breathing deepened as Li Tingshen continued.
“You don’t have to make yourself feel worse just to be angry with me.”
Those words again.
If she didn’t do anything, she would be angry with him because he had wronged her. Ye Qingqiu indeed didn’t know how to do that, but she wasn’t angry with him even if she didn’t drink the medicine.
But this man was really annoying today.
She turned and sat up in bed. She caught a glimpse of the cup and the medicine in the lid on the bedside table and reached for them.
However, Li Tingshen stopped her halfway. “It’s still hot.”
Ye Qingqiu looked up at him. “Are you deliberately not letting me sleep?”
Li Tingshen stared at the cold and accusing face for a while before shaking the cup.
When the water temperature was about right, he handed the cup to Ye Qingqiu.
“Drink it.”
Ye Qingqiu took the cup. When Li Tingshen handed her the lid, she frowned and stared at the pills, resisting.
Li Tingshen looked at her quietly.
She felt terrible now. She made up her mind and threw the medicine into her mouth.
Her facial features changed after drinking a few pills. In the end, she drank two mouthfuls of water and placed the cup on the bedside table. Then, she turned around and crawled into the blanket.
“Get out!”
After drinking the medicine that she hated the most, Ye Qingqiu lost her patience and her suppressed temper surged.
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything else. Ye Qingqiu heard him leave.
After the door closed, the room fell silent. Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes and looked at the dark sky outside before closing them again.
Downstairs, Ye Jianyun was still sitting in the living room.
Li Tingshen walked over.
“Sorry.”
Ye Jianyun looked up at him coldly.
His cold anger and dignity were completely different from usual.
“I can understand the dignity and pride you want to preserve as a man, but since you can see through the darkness and filth of this society and plot to get what you want by hook or by crook, what’s that dignity and pride worth? On one hand, you want to succeed, but on the other hand, you’re unwilling to bow your head to power. You can clearly resolve everything quietly, but you’ve made a mess of things! Is this the outcome you want?!”
Ye Jianyun had always been kind. At this moment, his tone was filled with anger, making one shudder.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips expressionlessly. “No.”
“You dare to do it without absolute confidence! Have you thought of the consequences if you fail? If your plan is exposed, how will you explain to another woman?”
Xu’er is also a descendant of the Ye family. Do you think I should pretend not to know anything now? After weighing the pros and cons, you should know that instead of using Liang Xuer, you should come to me directly! You don’t want to lower your head to me, but what about now? How should I settle this score with you for Liang Xuer? How should I settle another score with you for Qingqiu?”
Ye Jianyun was so angry that his face turned red and his chest heaved. After a few seconds of silence, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“If you think that I’m threatening and forcing you to be with Qingqiu, since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. If you want to break up, then break up! It’s good to break up as soon as possible! She’s still young and has plenty of time to abandon this relationship!”
Ye Jianyun’s heart ached for Ye Qingqiu. He felt sorry for her.
But if feelings could be forced, Qingqiu would be happy in the future.
Li Tingshen’s hands curled up slightly.
“She won’t agree.” Li Tingshen’s voice was a little stiff, but he was thinking about Ye Qingqiu’s words.
He wasn’t confident.
Perhaps there was.
“She’ll be sad,” he said again.
“She didn’t agree to her mother leaving either. At that time, she was even more upset!”
Ye Jianyun let out a low growl!
Li Tingshen trembled violently.
Her slightly curled fingers instantly clenched into fists.
“She has already experienced life and death. Nothing can defeat her. But she has already experienced the most painful thing. I just… I just don’t want her to experience more, not even a little.”
Ye Jianyun’s voice trembled. Her eyes were red and her lips were trembling. She was on the verge of breaking down.
“She’s the apple of my eye. She’s willful and arrogant, but no child is smarter, more considerate, and more sensible than her.
I’m handing her over to you. Do you think she’s a burden? It’s fine if you don’t want her. It’s fine if she’s not you. I’ll find someone better for her…”
“There will always be someone who treats her well. It’s only a matter of time before she falls in love with the person who treats her well. She’s not stupid. She can still tell who treats her well…”
Li Tingshen’s face was tense and his body was stiff.
“This is between her and me.”
Ye Jianyun looked up at him. “If you don’t like her, don’t give her so much hope. You’ve wasted so much time. You can withdraw at any time, but you’ve made her fall deeper and deeper. Even if you don’t like her, don’t hurt her. On account that she has never been unfaithful to you, let’s break up! Let her go even if you’re free!”
