Li Tingshen watched Ye Qingqiu enter the villa next door before entering.

Standing in the empty living room, Li Tingshen scanned every corner indifferently before walking into the dining room silently.

She cleared the table and went into the kitchen.

Li Tingshen felt that he might be sick.

He didn’t even want to wash the dishes that Ye Qingqiu had used.

There were her fingerprints on it, which had once left her warmth.

Now, he wanted to keep everything she had.

*

Yin Ruijue liked to watch the commotion, especially Li Tingshen.

When Xiao Chu saw him at the door, she felt a little helpless.

“Young Master Yin, isn’t your company busy?”

Yin Ruijue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiao Chu before clicking his tongue.

“Are you underestimating the relationship between us brothers? Compared to the company, my brother’s matter is more important.”

Xiao Chu chuckled. It wasn’t like he didn’t know after all these years.

The two of them had fought countless times. It wasn’t easy for them to see CEO Li in such a sorry state. Was he here to catch them red-handed?

At the very least, she didn’t apply for leave not long ago and even called him “Daddy”.

“CEO Li is in the bedroom.”

Yin Ruijue frowned and asked, “Where’s Ye Qingqiu?”

“I’m going back.”

“That idiot locked himself in the bedroom again?” Yin Ruijue’s thick eyebrows almost stood up. “So what did Ye Qingqiu do when she came over?”

Xiao Chu said calmly, “CEO Li made lunch for her. The two of them had lunch together.”

“Li Tingshen looks like a ghost. Why is he making lunch for her?!”

“Yes.”

Yin Ruijue blinked and his heart raced.

It was true that everything had its weakness.

Ye Qingqiu was really amazing.

Seeing that he looked as if he had been struck by lightning, Xiao Chu said, “CEO Li’s condition is much better than before. He has eaten and washed the dishes. He’s also handling the documents I sent up.”

Yin Ruijue raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you know how the two of them are doing? Do they have that… huh?”

Xiao Chu looked at Yin Ruijue’s thumbs and immediately retracted her gaze. “I don’t know. I don’t understand.”

Yin Ruijue retracted the ambiguous look in his eyes and glanced at him disinterestedly.

Pretending to be a pure old virgin.

*

He entered the villa and went upstairs. The bedroom door was closed without exception. He knocked on the door.

“Brother, are you full?”

What fucking magical conversation opening?

“Get lost.”

Not long after, Li Tingshen’s deep voice sounded.

‘Yes?’

Yin Ruijue raised his eyebrows immediately. Not bad, Ye Qingqiu was indeed Ye Qingqiu. Even when she came over for a meal, she could bring back the image of a human.

This time, she even made a sound.

“You have to be more friendly and be closer to your brother. If not for us, do you think Ye Qingqiu would have come?”

Li Tingshen remained silent.

Yin Ruijue leaned against the corridor wall and let out a long sigh. “Did you not have dinner? Why don’t I set up a meeting and go out?”

“Why would a man want to die for a woman? It’s so simple for Brother Bo to talk about it… Brother Bo brainwashed Ye Qingqiu for you today…”

The door was suddenly pulled open and Li Tingshen appeared at the door with a sinister aura.

“F*ck…”

Yin Ruijue was shocked and jumped to the side, looking at him warily.

“It’s… not brainwashing. I’m just telling the truth…”

Li Tingshen stared at him darkly.

Yin Ruijue pursed his lips and asked tentatively, “Shall we have a drink?”

*

“Chasing and intercepting, stealing and kidnapping, any move is fine as long as she is mine in the end and stays by my side as I wish.

What’s right? It’s right to get what I want. Why should I let you off and torture yourself? When did he start wanting to be a great man? Even the person in front of Tiananmen Square can’t be his.”

Yin Ruijue coughed and said, “My memory is too good. These are Brother Bo’s exact words.”

“There’s still a lot, but I think it’s enough to remember Brother Bo’s words. Aren’t women meant to be wooed? If you really like them, you should be thick-skinned. Who doesn’t go through the same process of wooing someone? Was it Ye Qingqiu who wooed you back then? She’s the daughter of the Ye family, a princess of Ping Cheng City. Why is it so difficult for you?”

“Tsk, at the end of the day, you haven’t taken the initiative to woo anyone!”

Li Tingshen sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. After a moment of silence, he picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and took a sip before turning to look at Yin Ruijue.

“Are you done drinking?”

Yin Ruijue paused and glanced at the wine glass in his hand. “I’ve been talking to you for a long time, but you haven’t even taken a sip.”

Li Tingshen nodded. “That’s good. Aren’t you still driving? Get lost.”

Yin Ruijue was speechless.

Wasn’t this too f*cking vicious?

“I’ve chatted with you for a long time and my mouth is dry. I don’t even have a plate of peanuts to drink with you. Can’t I drink some wine to moisten my throat?!”

The afterglow of the evening shone into the living room. Li Tingshen tilted his head slightly and the glasses on his nose reflected the light. Coupled with his long and narrow eyes, he looked even colder and scheming.

The cunning fox had an indifferent and refined look. When she smiled, she could make people dizzy. When she was cold, she could make their bones hurt.

However, no matter what posture she was in, her face, figure, and wealth were all what women favored.

However, thinking about it, there were so many women who were in love with him. Which one of them didn’t covet him? Even Liang Xuer had made a name for herself because of him.

Thinking about it, Ye Qingqiu was the only one who wanted him.

There were many documents that had accumulated. It was his habit to wear his glasses after working for a long time.

Now, he looked like a refined scum.

But no matter what, Yin Ruijue was still furious.

This was simply inhumane!

“There are no vegetables or peanuts at home.”

Yin Ruijue sneered and said, “I’ve just sent a message to Ye Qingqiu. She hasn’t eaten tonight. Do you think I should invite her over for dinner?”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and looked at him. His calmness was replaced by nervousness.

“F*ck…”

Yin Ruijue cursed under his breath.

Was this still the man he knew?

Although he was cursing in his heart, he still took out his phone from his pocket.

He called Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen straightened his body on the sofa and stared at Yin Ruijue’s phone.

Yin Ruijue glanced at him and rolled his eyes. He turned around to carry him, not letting him listen.

It took a long time for the call to be picked up. Just as Li Tingshen was about to give up in disappointment, Yin Ruijue suddenly said,

“Your call is really difficult to answer.”

Li Tingshen retracted his gaze and looked at him again.

Yin Ruijue glanced back before standing up and walking to the side.

“What are you doing… That’s good. I’m next door to your house. He doesn’t have any food here. He doesn’t even have a plate of peanuts to drink… What do I mean? Tsk, do I have to make myself so clear? Let’s go to your house for a meal? Alright, alright, ten bottles of white horse! You’ve earned a lot!”

After hanging up, Yin Ruijue gritted his teeth and said, “You must have set your sights on her!”

He put away his phone and turned around. A tall figure was standing behind him. If he took another step forward, they would really be brothers.

She gasped and took two steps back, glaring at Li Tingshen.

“You, you… Do you have to do this?!”

She had to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Li Tingshen ignored his reaction and looked at the phone in his hand. He asked calmly, “What did she say?”

Yin Ruijue raised his eyebrows and instantly felt that he was really impressive. He raised his chin and said, “Who am I? How can there be a meal that I can’t get?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “Wait for me.”

“What?”

Li Tingshen went upstairs.

Yin Ruijue pursed his lips and shifted towards the wine on the coffee table.

How could Li Tingshen’s wine be bad?

Even if he didn’t have peanuts, he had to drink two glasses!

She turned on the television and watched as she savored the food.

Not long after, Li Tingshen’s voice sounded from behind.

“Let’s go.”

Yin Ruijue hurriedly finished the wine in the crystal glass and stood up. When he turned back to take a look, he felt a lump in his throat and almost spat out the wine he had just swallowed.

But in the end, she choked.

The spiciness rushed to her head and her face turned red.

Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Li Tingshen. She wanted to laugh, but she ended up coughing and crying.

Ye Qingqiu hung up and instructed the kitchen to add a few more dishes.

There were ten bottles of white horses. What did Yin Ruijue want to eat?

Sima Zhao’s intentions were obvious.

She accompanied Linlin to sit on the cushion in the corner of the living room to draw.

Looking at the house drawn on the paper, although it was still young, one could easily tell that it was Qingqiu Manor.

He remembered all the details of the design.

The location of the chimney, the shape of the roof, the few windows, the arrangement, and so on all matched.

Linlin was painting seriously. Ye Qingqiu watched quietly from the side, occasionally looking up at Linlin.

That serious look on his face…

There was no escape from that man.

After some time, the doorbell rang.

Ye Qingqiu retracted her gaze and touched Linlin’s head. “It’s fine. Continue drawing. Mommy will open the door.”

Linlin nodded.

Opening the door, Yin Ruijue was still coughing.

Li Tingshen stood there. The moment the door opened, his gaze landed on her face.

He was dressed in a well-ironed suit with a wine-red pocket towel stuffed into his left chest. His hair was obviously meticulously styled.

His cold aura carried a faint but distinct scent of shower gel.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows twitched.

Yin Ruijue covered his mouth and coughed as he tried to hold back his laughter. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Qingqiu turned her gaze to Yin Ruijue and said, “You didn’t say that the two of us are here to freeload.”

Yin Ruijue could only roll his eyes in his current state.

What was he pretending for?

Ye Qingqiu frowned and said, “If it’s two people, ten bottles of white horses are not enough. Let’s go somewhere else.”

As she spoke, she took a step back to close the door. However, someone grabbed the door frame.

She paused and her gaze shifted from the well-defined hand on the door to Li Tingshen’s face.

“How?”

Li Tingshen’s eyes were locked on her face and his voice was low and careful. “I’ll buy 20 bottles.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and fell silent for a few seconds before letting go of the door and entering the house.

“Close the door.”

The nervousness in Li Tingshen’s eyes dissipated instantly. The joy in his eyes was like the surface of the sea under a strong wind, surging out wave by wave.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Linlin might have heard the voice and was standing in front of the sofa, looking up at him.

Ye Qingqiu walked over and stroked his head.

“Linlin, be good and greet them.”

Li Tingshen tensed up again.

Linlin greeted him obediently, “Hello, Uncle.”

Disappointment flashed across Li Tingshen’s face. In the next second, Linlin said, “Didn’t Daddy bring a gift for Linlin?”

Li Tingshen’s emotions were replaced by surprise, followed by helplessness.

His son was asking him for a gift.

He turned to look at Ye Qingqiu, feeling even more helpless.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much of an expression on her face. She didn’t feel any dissatisfaction or other emotions when Linlin called her father.

However, his distress signal was completely ignored.

Yin Ruijue was dumbfounded. So she was calling him Uncle?

Wasn’t it rude of him not to respond?

The door closed.

The two men stood at the door and took out their phones almost at the same time.

Yin Ruijue looked at Linlin and said, “My dear nephew, I didn’t hear you just now. Call me that again and I’ll give you two red packets.”

Linlin was very obedient. “Why two?”

Yin Ruijue said generously, “10,000 yuan!”

Linlin exclaimed, her dark eyes shining brightly.

“Uncle is so awesome and handsome. Thank you for your big red packet. Linlin is so blissful to have such a great uncle. Mommy, don’t you think Linlin is right?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Yes.” Then, she looked at Yin Ruijue and said, “50,000 yuan. I’ll thank you on Linlin’s behalf.”

Yin Ruijue was speechless.

His gaze landed on the little girl on his knee. Was this a three-year-old child?

Fine!

This kid not only looked like Li Tingshen, but he also looked like him.

Yin Ruijue gritted his teeth and transferred 50,000 yuan to Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen was texting Xiao Chu. “Go and buy me all the toys in the mall.”

Xiao Chu naturally knew that CEO Li was there to freeload. When she saw the message, she was speechless.

“CEO Li, that’s not sincere. Young Master will definitely like the gift that you personally chose. Why don’t you save it this time and give it to him next time? It’s a good opportunity… to freeload.”

After reading the message, Li Tingshen ignored the fact that Xiao Chu had called him a freeloader and kept his phone.

Then, he looked at Linlin and said hoarsely, “Daddy forgot. I’ll make it up to you next time.”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at him.

Linlin pondered for a moment before disappointment appeared on her face.

Li Tingshen’s heart tightened. Just as he was about to say, “I’ll buy it now,” Linlin’s childish voice sounded.

“Alright then.”

He paused and tightened his grip on the phone.

A thought flashed across her mind.

After all these years, it was time for him to increase Xiao Chu’s salary.

[Two in one.]
