Chapter 2029: You’re the Most Reasonable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Even Ye Qingqiu felt that it was ridiculous and sad.
It was indeed something to be thankful for.
Li Tingshen stared at her with his dark eyes. “He does have something important.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows twitched and her heart skipped a beat.
“Is it more important than me going missing or dying outside?”
Li Tingshen frowned and said, “You won’t go missing or die outside. Don’t dwell on such an impossible matter and pick on me. You’re the only one who makes sense.”
Ye Qingqiu smirked sarcastically. “No matter how you look at it, I’m the one being unreasonable. You’re the most reasonable.”
Li Tingshen stared at her for a while before he bent down to sit beside her. His slender fingers hooked her chin and he deliberately softened his voice.
“Whether or not Xiao Chu has something important has nothing to do with you. If you have anything, you can look for me and not him. I’m the one you’re marrying. Mrs Li, are you relying on someone else? Huh?”
His handsome face was very close to hers, his forehead touching her hair. His low and warm voice seemed to be born to bewitch women.
Ye Qingqiu looked at the man in front of her and her heart raced.
These words were really nice.
He had a way of coaxing people.
He lowered his stance. If she continued to be in a deadlock, what would the outcome be?
Suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, she lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes hid the complicated emotions in her eyes.
“You’re right.” Ye Qingqiu said slowly. After a long while, she looked up and a gentle smile appeared on her face. “Alright, I think I’ve really made a mistake. Aren’t you busy recently? Go to the company. My head doesn’t feel well, so I’ll continue sleeping.”
As she spoke, she pushed his shoulder away and yawned before lying down on the soft pillow.
Her long hair was pressed against the pillow and she felt uncomfortable. She reached out to fiddle with it, but Li Tingshen grabbed her wrist and pressed her to the side. He bent down and kissed her.
Simple and deep.
Caught off guard, Ye Qingqiu didn’t even have the chance to struggle.
“Mrs Li, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself? Have you been too cold to me recently?”
His hand reached her neck and supported the back of her head. His fingers rubbed her scalp.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. “Shouldn’t you be reflecting on why I’m so cold to you?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and lowered his head to caress her lips.
“Perhaps… I didn’t work hard enough last time and didn’t let you remember that feeling deeply. Why don’t I give you the feeling of forgetting again now?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled and she opened them slightly. “…If you want to have fun, just say it. If you push the blame to me, will you have more strength to be fierce when you do it?”
Ye Qingqiu’s words were straightforward.
Li Tingshen smirked and looked at her. “Aren’t you the one who enjoys it more? Have you really forgotten how you hugged me back then and made me slow down?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes widened as she looked at the refined and handsome man in front of her. She couldn’t believe that these shameless words came from his mouth.
“You… have the cheek to say that?”
Li Tingshen reached out to remove her pajamas. “We’ve already done it. So what if I say something?”
Seeing that he was serious, Ye Qingqiu suddenly sobered up. “Aren’t you very busy? Are you going out soon?”
“Okay.” Li Tingshen lifted the blanket and hugged a warm and fragrant woman. “No matter how busy I am, I have to make time to serve you.”
Ye Qingqiu struggled. “No need. I don’t want you to serve me now…”
“Alright, I want you. Be good, okay?”
Actually, he had never thought of doing anything to her.
After he got dressed, he knew that they had been in a deadlock for the past few days.
Her intentions and timing were not suitable for such a thing.
It was just that he had the intention to ease the tension and let go of his persistence to get close to her, kiss her and coax her.
With her soft and fragrant body in her arms, she seemed to be bewitched. The closer she got, the more she wanted.
Be good…
Ye Qingqiu felt that it wasn’t a bad thing for a man to use flowery words to please a woman.
He knew what women liked to hear and how to coax them.
It was an accurate shot.
Not only did he not waste time, but he also achieved his goal. His efficiency was top-notch.

In fact, Li Tingshen even felt that he had calculated the time to make love.
After carrying her out of the bathroom and putting on her loungewear, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Auntie Zhao knocked on the door to remind them to have breakfast.
Li Tingshen had instructed Aunt Zhao to wake Ye Qingqiu up for breakfast last night.
Auntie Zhao didn’t know much about her in the past, but after witnessing Ye Qingqiu’s temper when she woke up, she didn’t wake her up again. It wasn’t difficult to tell that Auntie Zhao was being careful and probing.
Li Tingshen opened the door and Aunt Zhao looked anxious.
“Mr Li, you’re here…”
Aunt Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.
Miss Ye had a bad temper, but with Mr Li around, the difference was huge.
Everything had its weakness.
Li Tingshen acknowledged lightly before turning to look at Ye Qingqiu and beckoning her.
“Come and have breakfast.”
Ye Qingqiu lay on the bed and looked at Li Tingshen’s hand. She said lazily, “I have no appetite. I feel uncomfortable and don’t want to eat.”
Li Tingshen walked over and bent down to carry her from the bed. “You have to eat.”
After being placed on the chair, Ye Qingqiu placed her arms on the table weakly.
Her home clothes were loose and the way she bent her arm to support her chin revealed her fair and tender forearm. There were a few faint red marks on it.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips.
She was too delicate.
She could almost pinch water.
No matter what, her reaction was always the biggest.
When it hurt, she would hit him and call him with a sobbing voice.
When she felt comfortable, her entire body curled up. She hugged him and let out the most charming and bold voice.
Even though he had been careful not to hurt her…
She knew too well how to break his restraint.
He pushed the bowl of porridge to her. “Eat quickly. Go to sleep after you’re done.”
“I don’t have the strength,” she said softly as she looked at him. “What should I do?”
She didn’t say it explicitly, but everyone understood what she meant.
Aunt Zhao smiled and hid in the kitchen.
Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently and picked up a spoon. He scooped a mouthful of porridge and brought it to her mouth.
“Open your mouth.”
Ye Qingqiu grinned and popped the porridge into her mouth.
“It’s just a mouthful of porridge. Did you drink the nectar?”
Looking at her expression, Li Tingshen glanced at her. His words were harsh, but there was a faint smile on his lips.
“How can it be as delicious as this bowl of porridge?” Ye Qingqiu smiled and leaned closer to him. There was a lazy and seductive smile in her gentle eyes. “Will I have the chance to drink it in the future?”
Li Tingshen smiled and fed her a spoonful of porridge. “It’s not like I’ll only be with you once.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
After dinner, Li Tingshen carried Ye Qingqiu back to bed.
He bent down to kiss her and tidied her hair. “Go back to sleep. You don’t have to bring me lunch.”
Ye Qingqiu replied, “Just don’t forget to eat.”
Her gentleness and obedience revealed her fondness for him.
Li Tingshen rubbed his forehead affectionately and said in a gentle voice, “Definitely not.”
“Alright, you can leave now. I won’t take up too much of your time.”
“It seems like you know that you’ve wasted a lot of my time.”
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes at him. “Aren’t you shameless?”
Li Tingshen chuckled and got up. “Go to sleep. I’m leaving.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything. She grabbed the blanket and turned around.
Hearing the door close, Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes again.
The room was silent. Through the curtains, one could vaguely see the morning light outside.
Thin dust particles floated in the air.
She suddenly felt a chill and couldn’t help but shiver.
If she played dumb and continued to acquiesce, would this matter end?
If so, when would it be?
However, she felt that even Li Tingshen couldn’t give her a definite answer.
What about the future?
Ye Qingqiu frowned. Perhaps she should trust Li Tingshen and settle this matter.
In the afternoon, Aunt Zhao prepared lunch. Ye Qingqiu ate alone and occasionally stuffed something into her mouth while fiddling with her phone.
Halfway through the meal, his phone rang.
“Hello, is this Miss Ye?”
“Yeah.”
“Hello, Miss Ye. This is Madam Baijue’s bridal shop. I’ve already prepared the photos you asked me to leave behind when you came here to try on the wedding gown. Would you like to come and get it yourself, or would you like to provide the address? We’ll send it to you.”
Ye Qingqiu pondered for a few seconds. “Oh… I’ll get it myself.”
She had slept enough anyway. Since she was bored at home, she might as well go out for a walk.
After hanging up, she put down her chopsticks and looked at the time for lunch. She called Li Tingshen’s office.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
“Hello, who is this?”
Ye Qingqiu, who was about to speak, suddenly paused. “Where’s Li Tingshen?”
“Sorry, CEO Li isn’t in the office.”
He answered politely and stiffly.
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “You’re… Xiao Xu?”
The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment. “…May I know who you are?”
“Ye Qingqiu.” She gave her name directly. “What about him? Did he have lunch on time?”
“CEO Li… just went out. He’s not at the office now. I didn’t touch the food I ordered for him.”
Ye Qingqiu was silent for a few seconds before saying, “So what you mean is that he had something on and went out for lunch?”
“That’s right.”
“Has the company been really busy recently?”
Ye Qingqiu’s question finally made Xiao Xu feel like he was being investigated. He immediately became vigilant.
“It’s almost the end of the year. I’m really busy.”
“Oh. Then you’ve worked hard.”
Ye Qingqiu said calmly before hanging up.
Leaning against the dining table, he found Li Tingshen’s phone number.
Li Tingshen had just arrived at the hospital when Xiao Chu greeted him.
“CEO Li, Miss Liang refused to… relieve herself on the bed. She insisted on going to the washroom and touched her leg… Her leg hurts now and her emotions are unstable. She even dropped the food.”
Li Tingshen walked towards V66’s ward with a dark expression.
The closer she got, the clearer Liang Xuer’s cries became.
“Get lost. I said I have no appetite. I’m not hungry. Can’t you hear me?”
“How many times do I have to repeat myself before you’re willing to leave?!”
His phone suddenly rang. Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks and took out his phone to see the caller ID. He walked to the side and answered the call.
“Yes?”
“Oh, I just had lunch. Did you eat on time? But I heard…”
“Can you stop bothering me!”
In the ward behind her, Liang Xuer’s screams were mixed with the sound of something being thrown to the ground.
Ye Qingqiu stopped speaking. She held her phone and her slender fingers slid across the table.
A faint smile appeared on her face. “Are you very busy now?”
“Yes, I’ve already eaten lunch.”
“Oh, that’s good. I just received a call from the bridal shop. I’m going over to get the photos now. I was thinking of occupying your lunch break, but it seems like there’s no chance.”
“They should have a delivery service.”
“They did, but I was bored alone at home and wanted to go out.”
“Be careful then.”
“Okay.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t intend to say anything, but just as she was about to hang up, the call ended.
Liang Xuer was still making a fuss in the ward, and the voices of others could be heard.
Li Tingshen pushed the door open with a sullen face. The ward was in a mess.
The thermos flask on the cabinet was shattered on the floor, and the base was hanging on the edge of the cabinet. There were food and water stains on the bedding.
Liang Xuer’s hair was messy and her pale face was covered in tears. Her eyes were red and there were new tears in them.
Seeing Li Tingshen, her eyes flashed and she bit her lips before turning her face away.
“Clean up and prepare lunch again.”
Glancing at the unsightly ward, Li Tingshen instructed calmly.
The others in the ward immediately got busy.
Standing where he could barely stand, Li Tingshen looked at Liang Xuer calmly.
“Will it get better immediately?”
Tears fell from Liang Xuer’s eyes. She turned to look at him, her pale face full of grievance and unwillingness.
She shook her head for a long time. “…I can’t do it… Brother Tingshen… Let me eat, drink, and poop in bed… I can’t… I can’t do it…”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears streamed down her face, especially when she faced Li Tingshen and talked about her most embarrassing situation…
Li Tingshen stood silently, his deep eyes like an immovable mountain, shrouded in a thick fog.
There was no disgust or rejection.
No emotion could be detected.
“Nothing is more important than being alive.” Li Tingshen said calmly, “It’s normal for you to be injured. Everyone thinks that this is natural. No one will mock you…”
Liang Xuer shook her head with tears in her eyes. “I know, I know. I understand all of this. They think it’s normal for my legs to be paralyzed and for me to pee and poop on the bed, but… I can’t. I can’t do it…”
She was still young. How could she do such a thing so easily?
