“I’ll do it.”

He wrapped his arms around her waist as he spoke.

Ye Qingqiu’s body suddenly trembled.

His eyes darkened again.

Sensing that she was avoiding him, Li Tingshen wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

Ye Qingqiu wrapped her arms around his shoulders and looked at his face.

Her anger had yet to dissipate, but she seemed to be gentler than usual.

I didn’t know how a person could reveal two completely extreme emotions in the same situation.

Perhaps she had misunderstood again.

However, she had experienced too much tonight and she felt terrible.

Seeing that Ye Qingqiu didn’t reject him, Ye Ze could only follow silently.

When they reached the parking lot, the hotel staff immediately drove Li Tingshen’s car over and quickly got out to open the door for them.

Ye Qingqiu, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and said calmly, “Brother Ye Ze.”

“Miss.”

“Carry me to the car.”

Li Tingshen paused and looked down at her calmly. Ye Qingqiu’s expression was calm, but she didn’t look at him.

Ye Ze walked to Li Tingshen and reached out to take Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen didn’t let go.

Instead, he carried her and walked towards Ye Ze’s car.

Someone opened the car door and he bent down to put Ye Qingqiu in. Then, he got in.

Ye Qingqiu frowned and her lips moved. In the end, she only moved to the side and leaned her head against the window before closing her eyes.

“Young Master Li, what about your car?”

“Smash it.”

Ye Qingqiu’s closed eyes moved slightly.

Ye Ze was stunned. He looked into the car and saw Ye Qingqiu’s motionless body.

“You should be very good at this,” said Li Tingshen calmly as he pulled the car door shut.

Ye Ze stood rooted to the ground for two seconds before making a call.

The moment he opened his mouth, he instructed someone to smash a Maserati.

There was no hesitation.

Anyway, he wouldn’t be able to keep this car.

After starting the car, Li Tingshen glanced at Ye Qingqiu and pulled her over.

Ye Qingqiu’s frown deepened, but Li Tingshen pulled her head into his embrace.

She moved, but it was a small movement meant to resist.

Li Tingshen held her and said calmly, “Don’t you never make things difficult for yourself? It’s more comfortable than leaning there.”

As expected, Ye Qingqiu didn’t resist.

The entire journey was silent. When Ye Qingqiu smelled the scent of disinfectant, she opened her eyes and saw Li Tingshen carrying her into the hospital.

“Don’t move. You have a fever.” Li Tingshen’s voice was cold.

Ye Qingqiu stood up from Li Tingshen’s embrace. “Brother Ye Ze, I want to go home.”

Ye Ze was in a dilemma. “Miss, you’re sick now.”

“Why? Do you want me to beg you?”

Ye Ze’s expression changed. He pursed his lips and took a few steps forward, blocking Li Tingshen.

“Young Master Li, give Miss to me.”

Li Tingshen stood still and looked down at her. “Are you sure you want to throw a tantrum at this time?”

Ye Qingqiu looked up at him.

“Do you think I’m throwing a tantrum because of something?

Are you the one who keeps saying that you’re busy and neglect me, but you had the time to pick up Liang Xuer personally and leave the Ye family yesterday? Or are you the one who insisted on letting her sit in the passenger seat of your car and bring her away? Or are you the one who brought her out to attend the banquet tonight? Oh, you even want to pick a dress for her personally?”

“Do you think I should pick a suitable day to argue with you about these things? It’s not suitable today. Tomorrow, next month, or next year? Why don’t you tell me? I’ll make an appointment with you and see when is the most suitable time to argue with you?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and stared at her quietly. Her tone was the same from the beginning to the end and her expression was indifferent.

However, there was a smile and sarcasm in her eyes.

Ye Ze stood opposite her. Actually, he knew that Li Tingshen was only prioritizing the young lady’s health.

However, too many things had happened in the past two days. It was reasonable for Miss to throw a tantrum.

If she threw a tantrum and picked the occasion and time, would that still be considered a tantrum?

“You’re not saying anything? Then I’ll argue with you when you’ve decided. Even if you think it’s appropriate now, I don’t have the energy. I hate this place. I want to go home.”

After saying that, seeing that Li Tingshen didn’t move, she let go of his neck and flipped over.

Her balance was unbalanced and her body was suspended in the air. Li Tingshen’s expression changed slightly, but Ye Ze caught her quickly.

Ye Qingqiu wrapped her arms around Ye Ze’s neck and said calmly, “Let’s go home.”

Ye Ze glanced at Li Tingshen and walked past him with him in his arms.

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground for a while before turning around to watch Ye Ze carry Ye Qingqiu out of the hospital.

After carrying Ye Qingqiu into the car, Ye Ze looked at the tall figure standing at the entrance of the hospital.

“Aren’t you worried that this will push him away… or give him a chance to get rid of you?”

Ye Qingqiu’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly before she lifted them. “Get rid of him?”

Her lips twitched. “Seems like everyone knows that I’ve been pestering him shamelessly.”

Ye Ze realized that he had said something wrong and said calmly, “Sorry…”

“No need.” Ye Qingqiu took the pillow from Ye Ze and hugged it. “That’s the truth. I don’t think it’s wrong. If he wants to leave, then leave. If he really wants to leave, even if I kneel and beg him, I won’t be able to make him stay. Besides, I can’t beg him.”

Ye Ze nodded lightly. “It’s good that you understand.”

Before getting into the car, Ye Ze called the doctor.

Ye Qingqiu had never liked seeing doctors. After entering the hospital and returning home, she would probably suffer again.

Thinking of what happened tonight, no one would feel good this time.

Not long after, Ye Ze noticed a taxi that had been following them.

The car followed them all the way to the quiet villa area.

The car stopped at the entrance. Li Tingshen got out of the car with Ye Qingqiu.

The familiar scent made Ye Qingqiu frown. When she saw that familiar face, she closed her eyes again.

Li Tingshen’s low voice sounded, “You’re awake?”

Ye Qingqiu leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes tiredly. Her voice was a little weak as she said, “You don’t appear when you should. When I don’t want to see you, you’re really haunting me.”

Annoying.

Li Tingshen carried her into the living room silently.

Ye Qingqiu forced herself to open her eyes.

The atmosphere in the living room was stifling.

However, when she saw the doctor standing at the side, her face darkened.

“Who asked you to come?”

The family doctor smiled awkwardly.

The family doctor was quite helpless. All these years, Miss had never treated him well.

Every time she saw him, it was as if she had met her enemy.

Fortunately, the Ye family took good care of her. She didn’t fall sick often, but it was enough for him.

“I’ll bring her upstairs first.”

Before he left, he glanced at the doctor. The doctor immediately understood and followed him.

Ye Qingqiu was placed on the bed. Through Li Tingshen’s shoulder, she frowned and glared at the doctor. “Who let you in? Get out!”

The doctor was embarrassed.

“Miss, Mr. Ye is angry and worried about you. Let me take a look at the situation first. I’ll try my best not to inject you…”

Hearing this, Li Tingshen should understand why Ye Qingqiu was in such a bad mood.

So she was afraid of needles.

Her tense expression relaxed slightly.

“Let him take a look at you first. There might be no need for acupuncture now, but if it drags on, it might not be the case.”

“Yes, Miss. Young Master Li is right. You can’t avoid treatment. You can’t delay your illness.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t buy it. “I just want to sleep now. Is there a problem with your understanding, or is my meaning unclear? And you, get out.”

She then shifted her gaze to Li Tingshen.

“Since you don’t want to see me, let the doctor treat you. After that, I’ll disappear from your sight. Or do you actually not want me to leave?”

Ye Qingqiu sneered, “Although I know that you’re trying to provoke me, I’m really annoyed by you now.”

She looked up at the doctor. “See? After you’re done, disappear from my sight immediately.”

With her fever and shock, Ye Qingqiu’s condition couldn’t be considered good.

In the end, the doctor only prescribed medicine. After instructing him to lower the temperature, Li Tingshen asked him to treat the wound on her heel before leaving.

Ye Qingqiu sat by the bed and stared coldly at Li Tingshen.

“Li Tingshen, are you addicted to pestering others?”

“This is not your privilege alone.”

Ye Qingqiu paused for two seconds before getting off the bed expressionlessly.

Li Tingshen pulled her back. “What are you doing?”

“I admit that I’m pestering you, but can I still pester you and not let you shower?”

“You can’t shower now.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at him for a while before looking down at her dirty dress.

“You can’t shower?” She looked up at him with sarcasm in her eyes. “Do you want me to remember the smell of another man on me at all times?”

Li Tingshen lost his grip on her hand and his voice was low and hoarse. “He didn’t touch you.”

“Who said that? I think you know him best other than me, right? Do you think he might not touch me? He touched me…”

Li Tingshen tightened his grip on her arm and stared at her intently. “He didn’t. Shut up…”

Ye Qingqiu felt that today was probably her day of suffering. All the pain had gathered today.

It hurt everywhere.

Her head hurt, her arms hurt, her feet hurt, and her heart hurt…

“I’m in the same room as him. Do you know better than me? Li Tingshen, he touched me. He pressed me onto the bed, pressed my shoulders, and tore my clothes…”

Recalling the situation, Ye Qingqiu’s voice trembled. “He still wants to kiss me…”

It was as if a taut string in the air had been snapped by an invisible force.

Ye Qingqiu felt as though her arm was about to be cut off.

The helplessness and fear from back then surfaced in her mind. What was this pain?

“Do you know how disgusting he is? Or are all men like this? Any woman can get hard…”

“Shut up!”

Li Tingshen’s deep voice suddenly sounded. It sounded like pain and anger.

Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a moment before she felt a sharp pain on her arm. She was almost dragged into the bathroom.

Before she could regain her balance, the showerhead landed on her. She held her breath and before she could react, a crisp tearing sound sounded in the bathroom.

Li Tingshen tore her dress into two and took it off.

“Li Tingshen, what are you doing!”

She covered her chest in fear and screamed.

Li Tingshen stood with her and was almost drenched.

Her hair was stuck to her forehead, and her face was filled with madness and ruthlessness. Her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she wanted to kill Ling Chi.

Ye Qingqiu’s heart turned cold as she recalled the moment he kicked open the bathroom door at the hotel.

At this moment, he was just like before, but he seemed to be restraining the viciousness in his body. He stood in front of her and calmly tore off his suit jacket. Then, he raised his hand and threw it aside, his eyes looking at her deeply.

She retreated in shock, but he suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pressed her against the wall.

God knew how terrifying his aura was, let alone her, who was facing him at such a close distance.

“Where did he kiss you?”

Li Tingshen approached her, his dark eyes bloodshot.

His deep voice carried extreme danger and could tear her apart at any moment.

Ye Qingqiu shook her head in fear. “No, he didn’t…”

Her body suddenly felt heavy as his body pressed against hers, almost pressing her into the wall.
