Chapter 1945: I’m Ye Qingqiu

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Who would care about a piece of scrap paper?

However, she seemed to be so sensitive to everything about Li Tingshen.

The words on the paper under her feet were exceptionally familiar to her.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t know that someone who couldn’t even remember her classmates had such a deep impression of her.

Liang Xuer also saw the paper floating by her feet and her expression changed. She pushed the servant away and ran over to pick it up, but Ye Qingqiu grabbed it in advance.

Seemingly unwilling to give up, Ye Qingqiu took a closer look at the words.

“Give it back!”

Liang Xuer’s voice was sharp. As she shouted, she reached out, trying to snatch the paper back from Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu dodged her hand.

Holding the piece of paper, Momo looked at the obviously nervous Liang Xuer. Li Tingshen’s impatient voice sounded in her mind.

‘Not free?’

She gave a sudden laugh.

Her face, which had been expressionless just now, now looked more radiant.

This glow was like a blooming flower in spring, but it was frozen in the thick ice.

The atmosphere in the living room turned cold.

Used to Ye Qingqiu’s arrogance and temper as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, no one said a word.

Even though they knew how childish relationships were at this age.

“Give it back!”

Liang Xuer was only thinking about the paper. She opened her palm at Ye Qingqiu, her voice filled with anger.

Ye Qingqiu smiled faintly and slowly handed the item to the two of them.

“At first, I was a little puzzled. You’re so arrogant and think that everyone owes you 18 million yuan. Who would be so foolish to ask you to study with them? Later on, I also felt that it’s reasonable for there to be a few stupid people in this world. However, I didn’t expect that the stupid person would be Li Tingshen.”

Liang Xuer was stunned. She was used to being mocked by Ye Qingqiu occasionally, but she didn’t expect her to scold Li Tingshen as well.

She had suppressed too many emotions just now. If not for Uncle Ye, she might have already confronted Ye Qingqiu.

She could tolerate some things, but she would never allow Brother Tingshen to be belittled because of her.

“Ye Qingqiu, don’t overdo it! I’ve lived with Brother Tingshen for so long. Even if you’re the lawless princess of the Ye family, who no one dares to provoke, what are you in front of me and him? It’s your business who you like, and it’s also other people’s business who you like. Everything in this world belongs to you!

At the very least, if you want to be with Brother Tingshen, you have to ask him if he’s willing to be with you.

Don’t you think you’re pathetic for abusing your power?

It was rare for Ye Qingqiu to listen to her patiently. Her words were harsh and the servants didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Even Ye Jianyun looked at Liang Xuer with dissatisfaction.

What was Qingqiu?

The daughter he doted on and cared for had to be pampered in front of everyone.

“Did I tell you to stay away from him?”

Ye Qingqiu still had a sarcastic smile on her face as she spoke unhurriedly. Her simple question seemed to have nothing to do with Liang Xuer’s words.

Liang Xuer paused.

Ye Qingqiu took two steps closer to her. “Whether he likes me or not is his business. Who do you think you are to teach me here? Why did you have to stick to him after I announced my ownership? Why didn’t I see you liking him so much in the past?”

“How do you know I didn’t…”

“Do you?” Ye Qingqiu interrupted her casually. “What kind of person is Li Tingshen? If you like him, do you think the two of you will have this day?”

Liang Xuer was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Ha.” Ye Qingqiu sneered lightly. There was obvious sarcasm in her eyes as she looked at her. “Do you think he will let a girl who has ulterior motives for him wander around in front of him without any emotions?”

Liang Xuer reacted and laughed. “Ye Qingqiu, I’m afraid you don’t know how annoying you are.”

In other words, Li Tingshen hated Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darted around before she recalled Li Tingshen’s impatient voice on the phone. She smiled and nodded.

“He does seem to be quite annoyed with me.”

Liang Xuer snorted coldly, a sarcastic smile on her face.

Ye Qingqiu smiled at her smugness and said lazily, “As you said, he’s sick of me because he knows how I feel about him. What about you? What do you think his indifferent attitude towards you means? He likes you? Ha… If he likes someone like this, I think he might like everyone in the world except me.”

Liang Xuer’s lips stiffened.

Ye Qingqiu held the pillow in her arms and reached out to push her hair, which had just been washed and dried, behind her. Her fair and beautiful face was illuminated by the light.

She was clean and beautiful.

“Liang Xuer, what are you trying to prove? Are you trying to prove that you’re better than me through Li Tingshen’s choice? What are you feeling unfair about? Did the Ye family treat you differently? Why are you secretly competing with me?”

Ye Jianyun frowned slightly.

Liang Xuer retorted as if she had been stabbed by a poisonous needle, “What nonsense are you spouting?!”

“Nonsense? Who knows? Ask yourself if I’m spouting nonsense.”

Liang Xuer bit her lips tightly. “Ye Qingqiu, don’t accuse me of being innocent and noble! No one is a fool! Don’t be too confident. Do you think everyone will like you?”

“Who cares if someone other than Li Tingshen likes me?” Ye Qingqiu replied calmly, but her lazy eyes suddenly turned cold. “If you insist on not listening to my advice and provoking him, Liang Xuer, I have to remind you again. The entire Ping Cheng City knows that I, Ye Qingqiu, have been pampered in the Ye family and have never suffered any grievances.

It didn’t matter if I was arrogant, domineering, and arrogant. It didn’t matter if I was pretentious and arrogant. The Ye family had raised me. No matter what, they didn’t want me to suffer!

If I suffer any grievances, all of you will have to pay the price a thousand times over! So before you do anything to me, you have to consider if you can bear the consequences.”

She sounded extremely arrogant.

Liang Xuer clenched her fists tightly and her body trembled. She suddenly reached out and took the paper back from Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t insist on keeping the paper.

“You also know that you’re arrogant and domineering? Do you think Li Tingshen is crazy or stupid to like someone like you? I really want to see what you’ll look like ten years later if you don’t get together with him!”

After saying that, she glared at Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds. She glanced at Ye Jianyun but didn’t say anything. She pursed her lips and walked to the sofa before throwing the pillow on it.

Everyone was puzzled. In the next moment, they watched as she bent down to pick up the glass filled with milk.

The corners of the servant’s lips twitched imperceptibly.

The timing was just right and it was the temperature that Ye Qingqiu liked the most.

“…”

Liang Xuer frowned as she watched her drink the milk silently.

He stared at her as if she was crazy for a few seconds. In the end, he picked up the book from the ground, carried his bag, and went upstairs after telling Ye Jianyun to rest.

Ye Jianyun sighed and looked at Ye Qingqiu.

After drinking half of the milk, Ye Qingqiu watched as Ye Jianyun walked towards her. Her cheeks puffed up slightly, as if she was angry with Ye Jianyun.

Ye Jianyun smiled bitterly.

“Are you really angry with Daddy?”

Ye Qingqiu was indeed furious. “Can’t I feel anything after being reprimanded?”

With that, she continued drinking.

“You’re sisters. Don’t be cold and fight whenever you meet. Don’t you consider Daddy’s feelings?”

“If I didn’t care about your feelings, I would have attacked her the moment she spoke today.”

Ye Jianyun’s pitiful trick didn’t work. Instead, it made him feel a little guilty.

Given his daughter’s personality, he didn’t doubt that she would really hit someone.

In that case, she was indeed “considerate”.

Ye Qingqiu finished the milk bit by bit.

She placed the glass on the coffee table. “Good night.”

“Qingqiu.”

“Do you think I’ll hold a grudge against you? Goodnight.”

After saying that, Ye Qingqiu ran upstairs.

Lying on the bed, Ye Qingqiu allowed herself to take a few deep breaths before gradually calming down.

She stared at the pink canopy for a long time.

She was Ye Qingqiu, the precious daughter of the Ye family. She had never suffered in the past 16 years, let alone accommodate anyone.

For the sake of Li Tingshen, she had experienced everything.

She endured his tone today and thought that she had really disturbed his studies. She endured it for a day and did not look for him. In the end, he stayed with Liang Xuer for a day to tutor her.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt.

…

Li Tingshen had just thrown his phone on the bed when his phone rang.

He didn’t pause at all. His usual expressionless face was cold and indifferent.

He walked to the bathroom.

However, she stopped in front of the bathroom.

She paused for a second before walking back to the bed and picking up her phone.

“Brother Tingshen, I’m home.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and threw his phone back on the bed.

However, before she left, her phone suddenly rang twice.

He picked up his phone again.

Two messages came from two people.

Ye Qingqiu’s news was suppressed by Liang Xuer’s news.

He tapped on Ye Qingqiu’s message.

“Don’t you have anything to tell me? If you don’t know what to say, then tell me what you did this afternoon.”

Li Tingshen frowned.

“Force me?”

“Then tell me.”

“I have nothing to tell you.”

After waiting for a long time, Ye Qingqiu replied, “Li Tingshen, I’m very angry now. You’re my man. Coaxing me is your first priority!”

Seeing the punctuation at the end, Li Tingshen’s lips twitched as if he had seen a girl with her chin raised and cheeks puffed up.

After tapping on the screen a few times, she threw her phone on the bed.

…

On the other side, Ye Qingqiu stared at her phone screen for a long time.

Li Tingshen replied simply without any punctuation.

—Not really.

‘He’s not your man.’

She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and grievance in her heart. After thinking about it, she finally typed another message and sent it to him.

Then, she stared at her phone and waited for a reply. However, the message was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response for a long time.

The wait for a reply felt like years.

It had been 20 minutes since Li Tingshen came out of the bathroom.

He couldn’t help but frown at the message.

“Li Tingshen, do you think we’ll be together in ten years?”

What an inexplicable question.

He opened the chat and wanted to reply, but his finger did not land for a long time.

Her eyes seemed to darken gradually.

Would they be together in ten years?

Ha.

She was thinking ahead.

His finger landed and tapped on the screen a few times. Then, he locked the screen and placed it on the bedside table. He lifted the blanket, lay down, and turned off the lights.

—

Ye Qingqiu didn’t know when she fell asleep last night, but she was woken up by the alarm the next day. She was in a daze for a few seconds before she reacted and turned on her phone.

Unlocked was Li Tingshen’s chat interface. After staring at it for a long time, her hopeful and nervous eyes gradually dimmed.
