Li Tingshen felt like he was in the hospital again.

She easily found Ye Qingqiu’s ward and Qianqian opened the door.

Mother Wang stood behind him. She had always been respectful to him. Now that she saw him, she opened her mouth and sighed.

She whispered, “Miss Ye is sleeping. Master, don’t wake her up.”

Li Tingshen approached the bed.

The woman was asleep.

She had a needle in her arm.

There were two pieces of medical tape on the back of his hand.

Mother Wang said softly, “The blood vessels on the back of her hand are too thin. The nurse tried a few times but couldn’t get the needle done. She had no choice but to move it to her arm. It took her two tries to get it done.”

“Miss Ye… looks like she’s in a lot of pain. She’s breaking out in cold sweat…”

Li Tingshen stood there quietly, his lips pursed tightly and even his breathing was shallow.

She did feel pain. She was most afraid of pain.

“Mr Li.” Mother Wang watched from the side for a long time before finally asking, “Is Miss Liang your girlfriend?”

Qianqian glanced at Mother Wang in fear and retreated a few steps.

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly.

Mother Wang crossed her hands and looked at Ye Qingqiu, who was lying on the bed, feeling sorry for her. “Not to mention others… Even the people we serve by Miss Ye’s side don’t fancy her identity. But it’s not right to say that she’s one of those indecent women outside… This morning, Miss Ye saw the news of you coming to the hospital late at night to accompany Miss Liang. She said that she wasn’t angry and… she has no right to be angry.”

Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened.

“News?”

Mother Wang nodded. “Yes, it’s news. Mr Li, don’t you know? The hottest news now is probably about you and Miss Liang.”

Li Tingshen took out his phone and browsed the web.

Indeed.

She gripped her phone tightly and walked out of the ward with a cold face.

Xiao Chu rushed over when she received the call. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Tingshen’s dark expression.

“CEO Li…”

“What’s with the news online?”

“News about you and Miss Liang? It’s…” Xiao Chu was in a dilemma. “You said before that you don’t need to care about such news.”

Li Tingshen’s cold face darkened. “Go and remove all the news.”

Xiao Chu glanced at the door of the ward behind Li Tingshen. It wasn’t Miss Liang’s ward. In that case, the only person he could think of who was injured and hospitalized, and who made Master care about his scandal, was probably Miss Ye.

“Okay! I’ll get it done immediately.”

“Also, make an official statement…”

Xiao Chu stopped in his tracks. “The content of the statement is…”

“Liang Xuer and I are not in a relationship as they think.”

Xiao Chu froze for a moment and didn’t move.

Seeing this, Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes coldly.

“I can’t use you anymore?”

“CEO Li, do you have to do it now?” Xiao Chu braced herself and reminded him, “You said last night that the Mid-Autumn Festival is in half a month…”

Li Tingshen’s expression changed, but his heart sank.

Xiao Chu had been watching his expression from the side, but in the few seconds of silence, she was even more certain…

Be it three years or thirty years, no one would surpass Miss Ye’s position in CEO Li’s heart.

Irreplaceable.

No one could.

They had given each other the purest and most innocent feelings in their youth.

However, what mattered was youth and innocence. What was wrong was youth and innocence.

In the most carefree era of others, these two had endured hardships that others could not imagine.

He had survived the most difficult time. If it were him, he wouldn’t have shouted for them to stop.

Even so, CEO Li’s words still shocked him.

The problem that they had discussed last night and had persisted for so many years was about to be overturned because of Miss Ye.

But… that wouldn’t do.

Li Tingshen seemed to have thought of something and pinched his temples.

After a long while, he said slowly, “Kick out the assistant who was interviewed at the entrance of the hospital last night.”

Xiao Chu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. “Okay, I’ll do it now.”

Sitting by the bed, Li Tingshen looked at Ye Qingqiu’s pale face quietly.

Reaching out to caress her cheek, his fingers trembled slightly, as though he was afraid of waking her up.

It turned out that when she said “disgusting” last night, she wasn’t deliberately hurting him. She was really feeling uncomfortable.

It was him, full of himself.

When the needles were removed, Ye Qingqiu woke up.

When she opened her eyes, her vision turned from blurry to clear. The man’s blurry and handsome face gradually became clear.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. When the nurse removed the needles, she could still feel the pain.

When Li Tingshen saw her subtle expression, his gentle face turned cold.

“Were you the one who pricked her just now?”

The nurse’s heart shrank and she fell silent.

“Yes…”

“Get out and tell the person who arranged for you to get out of this hospital.”

The nurse was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. “I…”

At this moment, Ye Qingqiu said expressionlessly, “I feel much better now. I don’t need an IV drip anymore, right?”

The nurse shook her head with tears in her eyes. “The doctor prescribed medicine for three days.”

“But I feel much better now.”

“Qingqiu, you have to stay in the hospital for further observation. You can be discharged after you recover…”

Li Tingshen pressed her down, his voice gentle.

“I don’t like hospitals.”

Looking at her stubborn expression, Li Tingshen fell silent for a while. “…Okay, I’ll bring you home.”

Ye Qingqiu paused.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Mother Wang, who was outside, went to open the door and heard Xiao Chu’s voice.

“Where’s CEO Li?”

Mother Wang said, “He’s inside.”

Xiao Chu walked in and saw that Ye Qingqiu had woken up. She smiled and said, “Miss Ye, you’re awake.”

Ye Qingqiu ignored him.

Xiao Chu didn’t mind and looked at Li Tingshen. “President Li…”

He wanted to say something but stopped himself. His eyes drifted to Ye Qingqiu a few times, obviously wanting to avoid her.

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Let go of me. I want to go to the washroom.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

“Li Tingshen.”

She only called his name in a calm voice before Li Tingshen’s body froze on the spot. His hand froze in mid-air. After a while, he retracted it and stood up, his voice low and hoarse.

“Alright, go yourself.”

Xiao Chu was shocked. He had never seen CEO Li being so humble.

Ye Qingqiu was still a little dizzy, but compared to the morning, she felt much better.

Li Tingshen’s gaze was fixed on Ye Qingqiu’s back, afraid that something would happen to her. It was only when the bathroom door closed that he retracted his gaze. When he looked at Xiao Chu, his face was already cold.

“What is it?”

“Miss Liang is asking you. I didn’t tell her that you’re… here.”

Li Tingshen closed his eyes and grunted before looking at the closed bathroom door.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Chu couldn’t help but speak again.

“CEO Li, if Miss Liang finds out that you’re accompanying Miss Ye here, she’ll definitely cause trouble again, so…”

Therefore, she could either transfer Miss Ye to another hospital, or he could not visit her, or…

“I’ll bring her home later.”

Ye Qingqiu, who was leaning against the bathroom door, smiled when she heard that.

So in order not to let Liang Xuer discover her, he still wanted to bring her home and hide her?

“CEO Li, I’ll get someone to bring Miss Ye back. You’re too ambitious and it’s inevitable that Miss Liang will discover you.”

Ye Qingqiu decided not to listen and went straight to the washroom.

When she came out again, Li Tingshen was no longer in the room.

Only Xiao Chu was left. When he saw her, he smiled respectfully.

“Miss Ye, CEO Li has something on and left first. He asked me to arrange for me to send you home.”

Ye Qingqiu’s lips twitched imperceptibly as she lifted the blanket and got onto the bed.

“Oh, I suddenly felt that I was still feeling unwell, so I don’t intend to be discharged.”

Xiao Chu was stunned. She didn’t expect Ye Qingqiu to suddenly change her mind.

“Miss Ye, it’s not convenient for Master to visit if you’re at the hospital…”

Xiao Chu’s words stopped abruptly.

She suddenly realized something.

It was precisely because it was inconvenient to visit her that she chose to stay in the hospital.
