Chapter 1946: If I Want to Lie to You, I Won’t Let You Discover It Easily

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

The chat finally stopped at the message she sent last night.

Li Tingshen didn’t reply.

Although she was disappointed, she was also glad.

It was much better than his direct answer.

Taking a deep breath, she sat up and went straight to the bathroom.

After washing up, Liang Xuer and Ye Jianyun were sitting in the dining room.

The two of them were discussing something. Seeing her come down, Liang Xuer’s face turned cold and she lowered her eyes to eat her breakfast.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t intend to care about what Liang Xuer said to her father.

She didn’t care about Liang Xuer’s attitude, but she couldn’t ignore Ye Jianyun’s gaze.

Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows and sat on the chair. She picked up a white bun and asked Ye Jianyun,

“What are you guys talking about?”

Ye Jianyun sighed in his heart.

Then, he smiled and said,

“Xu’er will be in Year Three with you next semester.”

Before Ye Qingqiu could chew the bun in her mouth, she paused.

His gaze turned to her coldly. “You want to skip grades too?”

Liang Xuer ignored her.

Ye Jianyun deliberated over the current situation and said, “Since you’re confident that you can keep up with the class, you can naturally skip grades.”

Ye Qingqiu threw the bun into the plate.

She leaned back in her chair and looked at Liang Xuer with a faint smile.

“I’ve never heard of your good grades in the grade. Why? Were you discussing hiring a tutor just now?”

With that, Ye Qingqiu shifted her gaze to Ye Jianyun.

Ye Jianyun looked at Liang Xuer. “No matter what your results are, you have to hire a tutor if you want to skip a grade…”

“No need.” Liang Xuer suddenly interrupted Ye Jianyun. “I’ve already found someone to teach me.”

There was a faint smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face, but her hands under the table were clenched into fists.

She only smiled and said nothing.

Liang Xuer put down her chopsticks and stood up. She said to Ye Jianyun calmly,

“I’m full. I’m going to school.”

Ye Jianyun nodded and looked at Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much of an expression. She picked up her chopsticks again and ate her breakfast as if nothing had happened.

Ye Jianyun really couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

Who wanted to teach Ye Qingqiu?

After all, it had only happened yesterday.

Other than Li Tingshen, there was no one else.

Based on Qingqiu’s personality…

However, Ye Jianyun didn’t see any reaction from her.

…

Ye Qingqiu’s car stopped at the east gate of T University.

The south gate entered the high school department while the east gate entered the university department.

Li Tingshen arrived at school twenty minutes early every day. Less than a minute later, Li Tingshen’s figure appeared not far from the school gate.

Ye Qingqiu opened the car door and got out.

It was rush hour now. The 16-year-old Ye Qingqiu was wearing a loose white T-shirt, a pair of pants, and a pair of white shoes.

She was dressed simply, with the liveliness of a student and the beauty of a girl.

However, there was an obvious arrogance and arrogance on her. She was cold and unapproachable, which aroused the curiosity and challenge of others.

The moment she alighted, she attracted everyone’s attention.

There were clearly many female students who had just entered university. After passing the difficult third year of high school, they had all started to tease themselves.

But even so, she paled in comparison to Ye Qingqiu.

Under everyone’s gaze, she walked towards Li Tingshen and stood in front of him.

The girl raised her head and Li Tingshen lowered his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds before Ye Qingqiu spoke.

Li Tingshen thought that she was persistent about yesterday’s question, but when she spoke, it wasn’t.

“I didn’t make it for this semester’s classes. Help me with tuition during the holidays.”

She said with a smile. Her smile was pure and her voice was clear.

Li Tingshen stared at her for a few seconds before spitting out a few words.

“I don’t have time.”

The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face deepened. “Aren’t most university students busy dating nowadays? What’s there to be busy about? If it’s studying, we can study together. I can’t be asking you questions all the time.”

Li Tingshen stared at her quietly, his long and narrow eyes filled with wisdom.

“Why did you choose to look for me today?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. Her loose t-shirt revealed more of her arms when she raised her hand. They were slender and fair, so fair that they dazzled in the morning light.

“Li Tingshen, I, Ye Qingqiu, have never thought of playing tricks with anyone. Besides, you’re the person I’ve taken a fancy to. Do you think I can’t tell that I’m using some lousy methods in front of you?”

“Don’t look down on me. I can’t learn all the twists and turns, and I’m too lazy to learn them. You don’t have to think of me as too complicated and scheming. I’ve grown up. Do you think I have to put in so much effort to get something?”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes.

Yes, what did she want? Would the Ye family not satisfy her?

It was just a sentence from her.

“Li Tingshen, remember that I will never lie to you.”

Li Tingshen stared at her quietly and asked, “You’ll never lie to me?”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “No.”

The smile on Li Tingshen’s face was almost imperceptible, but it was filled with sarcasm.

Ye Qingqiu looked at him and laughed a few seconds later. “Of course, if I really want to lie to you, I won’t let you know easily.”

Li Tingshen’s smile became obvious. “So you know that I have to tutor Xu’er during the holidays, but you’re stopping me here to make up for it?”

Even though she already knew about this, she couldn’t trust Liang Xuer completely. It wasn’t the first time she had thought too highly of herself.

However, after hearing this from Li Tingshen, Ye Qingqiu’s expression turned colder.

“I have a rough idea. So what’s your answer?”

“What do you think? Isn’t this considered scheming?”

Impatience finally appeared on Ye Qingqiu’s face. “If Liang Xuer wants to skip a grade, it’s impossible for me to not hire a tutor for her.

I warned her to stay away from you, but she didn’t listen. Instead, she became worse. What should I say about my so-called ‘intervention’? You’re my man. Shouldn’t it be basic to keep a distance from other women?

It’s Liang Xuer’s fault for making me the evil person who interfered. It’s your fault, but it shouldn’t be my fault. If any of you had any self-awareness, I wouldn’t be standing here now.”

Arrogant, arrogant.

She seemed to have a way of making herself the most innocent victim.

“I’ve never thought of lying to me to prove that you have some brains. However, I remember telling you that I’m not your man. I’m not interested in playing a love game with an underage girl.”

As Li Tingshen spoke, he walked to Ye Qingqiu’s side. “I’ve already agreed to tutor Xu’er. I won’t go back on my word for no reason. Since you can’t keep up with the lessons, why don’t you consider finding a tutor for her?”

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at him, her exquisite and beautiful face looking up at him. “So, you want me to give in to Liang Xuer? To let the man I like spend a holiday with another woman with impure intentions?”

Li Tingshen frowned.

For some reason, he felt her aggression.

She didn’t want to admit it, but she did feel threatened.

He felt irritated by this unfamiliar emotion.

“Don’t presume to use your thoughts to forcefully define everything.”

“Oh?” Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Am I the one who thinks that I like you, or am I the one who thinks that Liang Xuer has impure intentions?”

Li Tingshen’s expression gradually turned sinister.

… Neither.

Neither of them…

This had nothing to do with the feeling of being threatened.

“Think whatever you want.”

Li Tingshen said coldly before walking into the school.

The surrounding people looked at Ye Qingqiu in confusion. From afar, they had no idea what the two of them had said.

However, Li Tingshen’s gloomy face and the fact that he had abandoned a girl in public made them unhappy and curious about what had happened.

Ye Qingqiu stood rooted to the ground for a while. When she turned around, everyone thought that she would be sad and even cry. However, there was nothing.

Her expression was calm. There was no joy, anger, sadness, or sadness.

She was noble and arrogant, confident and beautiful.

Then, the chauffeur opened the car door for her and she got in calmly.

It wasn’t until the car left that everyone stopped their curiosity and walked into the school.

“Who was that girl just now? Her face is amazing.”

“Only her face? How many people can compare to her figure?”

“Shallow! Does she only have a face and figure? Look at her car. It’s a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and she’s a chauffeur. She also has an arrogant and condescending aura. If she wasn’t a rich young lady, she would have let you down.”

“You’re noble, but don’t look at her!”

“Tsk, who doesn’t like beautiful women?”

The few men chatted as they walked towards the school building. When they were a few meters away from Li Tingshen, his face darkened.

She looked up and watched coldly as the men walked away.

…

Because of the long detour, Ye Qingqiu arrived at school ten minutes later than usual.

It wasn’t a big deal. She was just the last to hand in her homework.

When Xu Wenxuan followed behind her to collect her homework, she didn’t look too good.

Ye Qingqiu sat down and placed her heavy bag on the table.

She took out her homework from her bag and handed it to Xu Wenxuan.

Xu Wenxuan took it and glanced at her.

It was rare to see Ye Qingqiu with a temper.

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

Xu Wenxuan hesitated for a while before replying.

“Thank you.”

Ye Qingqiu replied emotionlessly before suddenly looking up at Xu Wenxuan.

She stared at him for a long time and held her chin. After a while, she asked, “Aren’t you tired from studying so hard every day? Even if you get into an ordinary university, won’t the Xu family still be yours?”

Xu Wenxuan was taken aback by the sudden question.

After a long while, she said, “We can’t let others say that the future heir of the Xu family is useless. Although we don’t know which school is good or bad, if we can get into a better school, it will save us from being mocked and questioned. Also…”

Ye Qingqiu nodded in understanding. She thought that this was his only and most convincing reason. She didn’t expect there to be other reasons.

She looked up at him.

Xu Wenxuan’s ears turned red. “In order to be worthy of the person I’ll like in the future and not bring her trouble, I can even help her or give her a sense of security.”

Ye Qingqiu nodded again.

Her beautiful eyes fluttered before she sat up straight and her eyes curved slightly.

“With your status as the young master of the Xu family, there are many women who flock to you.”

“The person I like won’t only value this.”

Xu Wenxuan sounded a little anxious.

Ye Qingqiu was stunned by his sudden excitement.

Realizing that something was amiss, Xu Wenxuan whispered, “Will you like those who have pursued you?”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right. Those flirtatious women naturally can’t enter Young Master Xu’s eyes. I’m looking forward to seeing Young Master Xu’s future girlfriend. When the time comes, I must say these words to your girlfriend. She will probably be touched to death.”

Xu Wenxuan pursed his lips and the light in his eyes dimmed.

“I’ll send the homework to the teacher.”

“Yes, you’ve worked hard.”

Ye Qingqiu seemed to be in a better mood.

However, just as Xu Wenxuan was about to leave, Ye Qingqiu suddenly said,

“By the way, class monitor, I want to get good results this time too. I might have to trouble you for the next few days.”

Xu Wenxuan paused and a smile finally appeared on his face. “It’s no trouble at all. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime.”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Thank you in advance.”

In order to be worthy of the person he liked and not cause trouble for him, she could even help him…

Let’s give it a try.

Compared to relying on Li Tingshen to get good results, she might as well get one herself. It would make her seem impressive.

Otherwise, it would be natural for Li Tingshen to score well. He might even point out the mistakes and criticize him.

But at the thought of Li Tingshen tutoring Liang Xuer during the holidays, her face darkened again.

–

After school in the afternoon, Ye Qingqiu gave Ye Jianyun a call and said that she might be late tonight. Her reason was very honest. The exam was about to start and she was studying with her classmates.

Ye Jianyun’s first reaction to this honest reason was disbelief.

When did his precious daughter become so studious?

The only time she wanted to learn was when she wanted to skip a grade. Her motive was only for Li Tingshen.

Since the gap between them was smaller, she had a reason to stay with him.

At this moment, she already knew that Li Tingshen was going to tutor Xu’er in the morning. Why did it suddenly become a good student in the afternoon?

Could he have been provoked?

Was this considered a good thing?
