Ye Qingqiu leaned back slightly and was pressed back by Li Tingshen. His smiling eyes stared at her for a while before landing on her lips.

“I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I just suddenly remembered the feeling of eating you up that night. But I didn’t expect my face to be so useful.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyelids twitched. “Do you have so little self-control over women?”

“It depends on who it is.”

Li Tingshen’s last word entered Ye Qingqiu’s mouth.

Ye Qingqiu tilted her head to dodge and his lips caught up with hers.

“Get lost! I’m still angry…”

“I’m in a hurry, Mrs Li.”

Ye Qingqiu suddenly paused. This form of address stirred up all the nerves in her body and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.

By the time she reacted, she was already pinned down.

She entered the soft bed.

Anger surged within her. The more she struggled, the more convenient it was for Li Tingshen to take off her clothes.

*

“I really suspect that you won’t be able to control your lower body in the future!”

Her soft voice sounded like she was gritting her teeth. She wanted to sound fierce, but the outcome wasn’t ideal.

“You don’t believe me?” Li Tingshen’s fingers pinched the back of her neck gently. His low and lazy voice sounded as if it had been soaked in alcohol, making it even sexier.

“You can control yourself just because I believe you?”

Li Tingshen’s hand moved to her hair and rubbed her scalp. Ye Qingqiu’s eyelashes fluttered and she moved her shoulders comfortably.

“So can we write it off this time?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and looked at him. “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you question me?” Li Tingshen said calmly, “I apologize for my previous doubts about you, so can you let bygones be bygones?”

Ye Qingqiu stared at him for a while and felt weak all over. She forced a faint smile and said, “You can even use a casual sentence from me… If I’m really questioning you seriously, will you choose to let it pass without any investigation?”

Li Tingshen paused. “There’s nothing I can’t do.”

“Li Tingshen,” Ye Qingqiu said, “What I want is not for you to calm down. After the investigation, you realized that it wasn’t me. That’s why you started to trust me. This isn’t trust. This is the truth. In your eyes, I’m no different from others. If you think that it doesn’t matter and don’t care that I treat you like other men, you can do whatever you want. Everything can be easily forgotten.”

After a long while, Li Tingshen said, “Then, how can this matter not be passed so easily?”

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips and remained silent.

She had no idea.

She didn’t want things to pass so easily, but since it had happened, she could only let it pass.

Otherwise, they would be the ones who couldn’t pass.

This was not what she wanted.

The bedroom, which had fallen into silence, dispelled the awkwardness.

After a long while, Li Tingshen gave a light laugh.

“You don’t know how to answer, right? You don’t want to forgive me easily, let alone not forgive me.”

Ye Qingqiu’s face was cold. After being exposed by him so bluntly, she felt that she was really lowly and useless.

“You’re right. I should have chosen to believe you the moment I found out about what happened, instead of following common sense and questioning you. I was wrong, huh?”

Ye Qingqiu couldn’t do anything to this man.

He had expressed his goodwill and apologized.

Wasn’t she being too ungrateful?

Seeing that she was silent, Li Tingshen pressed his forehead against hers and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Li, I’m in the wrong. I’m willing to accept punishment. You can punish me however you want.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and looked at him pitifully.

“I don’t know what you care about at all. If I can’t hit your sore spot, what kind of punishment is that?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “So there’s no punishment?”

Ye Qingqiu glared at him. “Dream on. I’ll remember this debt first. When I find out what you care about, I’ll settle the old and new scores with you.”

Li Tingshen nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait, but I think you might not be able to punish me for the rest of your life.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Why?”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and just smiled. He turned around and covered her again.

Ye Qingqiu held her breath. “You… are you done…”

*

She wouldn’t be punished for the rest of her life?

Li Tingshen was wrong.

He thought that Ye Qingqiu would never discover what he cared about the most.

She also thought that even if she knew, this punishment would never happen.

However, there was only one time where it consumed half of his life and was almost fatal.

*

Ye Qingqiu felt that she had died a few times and was pulled back by the man in his own way.

After exhausting all her energy, Ye Qingqiu didn’t forget to push Li Tingshen downstairs to eat before she fell asleep.

Her arms and shoulders were fair and delicate like white jade. There were a few light red marks scattered on them.

He kissed her almost all over.

What had happened just now? Just looking at the exposed marks was enough to make one’s face blush and heart race.

She refused to even take a shower, but she didn’t forget that he hadn’t had lunch yet.

She had too many comments that a princess of the Ye family shouldn’t have, but in front of him, she was obedient and sensible.

Her thoughts made Li Tingshen’s heart skip a beat. He lowered his head and kissed her flushed and warm face. It was soft and warm.

Ye Qingqiu was exhausted. Her eyelids twitched and her eyes widened. She shrank back and muttered, “Let’s go eat.” She avoided his kiss and buried herself in the pillow, looking exhausted.

Li Tingshen didn’t disturb her and got off the bed.

He had never stayed over at the Ye family, but the Ye family wasn’t surprised.

The servant had been there. When she saw him coming down, she knew that dinner was coming and immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.

The Ye family treated Li Tingshen as their master.

*

Ye Qingqiu didn’t make it in time to have breakfast with Li Tingshen. She stared at the ceiling for a long time before picking up her phone to send a message to Ye Ze. She got up to wash up and arrived at school in time for the second period.

The discussions about yesterday’s trending topic had died down along with the fading popularity online.

But on Ye Qingqiu’s side, although she didn’t bicker with Li Tingshen, she couldn’t let go of the person who had directed the wind to her.

She wanted to see who else was behind this.

The drama was popular, but Li Tingshen kept a low profile. Even his company could only find a small media company with a registered capital of five million yuan.

No one would target him. All he could think of was that the show had gone overboard in the beginning and affected the interests of others.

This was very possible, but the replacement of the actors was an internal matter. Even if she went to cause trouble that day, there were no outsiders.

The internal staff had signed a confidentiality agreement and wouldn’t leak information without permission.

After thinking about it, Ye Qingqiu felt that it wasn’t targeted at Li Tingshen or the drama. Someone might be targeting her.

But who had she offended?

Other than Liang Xuer, she couldn’t think of anyone else.

However, Liang Xuer was the center of public opinion this time, followed by the negative impact on the drama.

Thinking about it, the most unlikely person was her.

So who was it?

She waited for Ye Ze’s news.

In the afternoon, Ye Ze gave her the results of the investigation.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t believe him and asked Ye Ze again, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Ye Qingqiu’s face was terrifyingly cold. She was furious and sneered.

“Miss.” Ye Zecha could feel that Ye Qingqiu was on the verge of exploding. She couldn’t help but say, “Don’t be rash. I’m at home…”

Ye Qingqiu paused. “My dad knows too?”

“He asked, I can’t not answer. Also… he wants you to come back immediately.”

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and wanted to reject, but she heard Ye Jianyun’s low voice.

“Come back, I have something to tell you!”

“Dad…”

“Qingqiu, be good! Cough cough cough…”

A violent cough sounded from the other end of the phone. Ye Qingqiu frowned and the coughing stopped. The call was hung up.

Opening her email to look at the email sent by Ye Ze, Ye Qingqiu suppressed the anger in her heart. She walked out of the school and called Li Tingshen.

“I want to know the results of your investigation regarding the trending topic yesterday. Do you know who did it?”

Li Tingshen paused and said, “I know.”

“Who?”

“Mr. Qin.”
