Li Tingshen tensed up and his handsome face turned cold.

“Li Tingshen, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you withdrawing the lawsuit or not?”

“You think I waited until now to withdraw the lawsuit?”

Ye Lixun slammed her palm on the table and snapped.

“But you’ve waited until now for Qingqiu to compromise with you! It’s the detention center now! Are you really going to throw her into prison?!”

Li Tingshen clenched his fists tightly on the desk. The sleeves of his suit were so tight that they were about to crack.

“The choice is with her. She doesn’t have to choose to enter.”

Ye Lixun closed her eyes.

“You’re driving her further and further away. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll never forgive you?”

“She won’t.”

She wasn’t stupid. She should know that he just wanted her to stay.

“Where did you get your confidence from?”

“Because she loves me. She’s just angry at me now. She said that she wanted to leave because she was angry. She said that she wanted to leave. If I let her go so easily without doing anything, she will definitely be disappointed and sad…”

Ye Lixun was stunned for a moment before shaking her head.

“What nonsense… Why are you still unwilling to admit that you actually love her to death? You even want to find an excuse from her?”

Li Tingshen ignored her. “I’ve waited for her for three days. This afternoon is my last chance. If you really can’t bear to see her go to jail, tell her that you won’t take her away.”

Ye Lixun narrowed her eyes. “Li Tingshen, I don’t believe you want to imprison her forever!”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and picked up his coat to leave.

Ye Lixun followed behind him. “I’ve already hired the best team to fight this lawsuit. Li Tingshen, you can’t trap her!”

Ye Lixun still didn’t receive a response.

The three dishes and soup were all requested by Ye Qingqiu. In the end, she ordered sour plum juice.

After lunch, someone walked over with an unnatural expression.

“Miss Ye, we have to go to the court.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flashed as though she had expected this moment. She finished the remaining plum juice and stood up slowly.

She didn’t know if it was the same pair, but the handcuffs that looked exactly the same were placed on her hands again.

Although she had worn it once, the sound of the handcuffs snapping sounded as though it had pierced through her heart. She gasped in pain.

Then, she was brought straight to the court.

Reporters had gathered outside the courthouse.

The moment Ye Qingqiu alighted, they swarmed towards her.

She slapped Ye Qingqiu repeatedly before focusing on her cuffed hands.

Ye Qingqiu’s face was a little pale as she was escorted into the court by the police officer beside her.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t look back until she reached the wide and long steps.

“Why are the reporters here?”

“I don’t know.”

Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists slowly. “Is this lawsuit public?”

“No.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything else. She didn’t have the chance to say anything else before she was brought in.

She was brought to a separate room and sat under the supervision of two people for a while. Then, someone came to prepare for the court session.

She was brought into the court numbly and Li Tingshen’s figure blocked the entrance.

“This is the last time I’m asking you…”

“Yes. Move aside.”

She would leave, so she stepped aside.

She could guess what he wanted to ask without even thinking.

Ye Qingqiu interrupted him calmly as she looked at the jury behind Li Tingshen.

The seats in the back were all empty.

Then, he walked over and grabbed her wrist.

The sound of the handcuffs sounded exceptionally clear.

“Mr Li, the court shouldn’t allow private grudges to be resolved, right? My handcuffs hurt.”
