Chapter 2051: You’re Not Allowed to Step Out of the Door
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She tried her best to restrain herself from speaking in a complete and orderly manner. Every word she said was as if she was using a knife to cut the cord between them bit by bit. The cord that she had poured her blood and sweat into was cut and dripping with blood. Li Tingshen’s grip on her wrist was so tight that he almost crushed her wrist. She frowned in pain.
He looked at her expression and suddenly sneered.
Did that hurt her?
He really wanted to experience how much pain she was in now.
Compared to him now, how much was the difference?
But in the end, looking at her pale face that was covered in cold sweat, he loosened his grip. However, he still held her tightly and looked at her deeply. In the end, he said slowly,
“Okay.”
Ye Qingqiu’s heart suddenly felt like it was on fire.
A painful spasm.
Li Tingshen had always been unfathomable. Xiao Chu couldn’t tell if he liked Ye Qingqiu or not.
She felt that if CEO Li was willing, he could do the same to another woman.
However, which woman would make CEO Li willing?
Xiao Chu didn’t understand, but at this moment, he felt that the confrontation between the two of them would lead to a huge regret.
“CEO Li…” Xiao Chu wanted to remind Li Tingshen to calm down. At this time, the worst thing to do was to make a decision at the worst time.
Ye Qingqiu endured the pain in her heart and nodded slowly. “I’ll prepare the divorce agreement. I’m indeed responsible for the destruction of the Li Corporation’s procedures. As compensation, I’ll transfer all my shares to you.”
Xiao Chu was shocked.
All of Madam’s shares?
It was enough to take down a few Li Corporation.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “Looks like I’ve gained a huge advantage in the end. But Ye Ze isn’t dead yet. I can only think about such a good thing now.”
Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “I’ll prepare the divorce agreement in advance.”
Li Tingshen looked at her quietly for a while before letting go.
“But before that, Ye Qingqiu, don’t forget that you’re my wife. I have the right to care about your body. Ye Ze will die the day after tomorrow at the latest. Before that, even if you want to swallow him alive, you have to swallow the water and rice. Even if I have to tie you up, I have to tie you to the bed to sleep. So you’d better be obedient and not provoke me again.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyelashes fluttered.
“Xiao Chu!”
Xiao Chu shivered and hurriedly replied, “CEO Li.”
“Bring her to see Ye Ze. After half an hour, place the supper in front of her and watch her finish it.”
Xiao Chu glanced at Ye Qingqiu and felt a little troubled, but she could only agree.
“… Yes.”
With that, Li Tingshen turned and left.
Ye Qingqiu stared at his strong and determined back as he left. She clenched and unclenched her fists.
In the end, she lowered her eyes and suppressed the emotions in them before turning to leave.
Ye Ze was sent to the ICU.
Uncle Ye stood at the side and looked at Ye Ze, who had yet to regain consciousness. Tears streamed down his face.
When Ye Qingqiu entered, she tripped and held onto the door frame in time. Xiao Chu also helped her.
Ye Qingqiu stared at the person on the bed as tears streamed down her face.
All the tears in her life could not wait to be shed today.
Xiao Chu helped Ye Qingqiu in. Ye Qingqiu took a closer look at the lifeless Ye Ze and suddenly bent down to kneel in front of Uncle Ye.
“Miss!” Uncle Ye’s lips trembled as he bent down to hold her arm.
Ye Qingqiu grabbed Uncle Ye’s hand.
She lowered her head and bit her lips tightly to suppress the sadness in her body, preventing her voice from trembling.
“Uncle Ye… I’m sorry…”
“Miss, this isn’t your fault…”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head, her tense voice filled with endless regret and sorrow.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault, Uncle Ye, it’s all my fault…”
Uncle Ye looked up and closed his eyes.
Xiao Chu saw everything clearly from the side. Uncle Ye was actually feeling regretful and blamed Ye Qingqiu.
No matter the reason, the reason why Ye Ze had become like this… had something to do with her.
Even if it was his responsibility and mission, his only son was going to die.
Some people might not believe that Ye Qingqiu was obedient and sensible.
But no one would believe that she was willful and spoiled.
Uncle Ye had witnessed how Ye Qingqiu grew up being doted on.
It was true that she was obedient and sensible.
But it was true that she was willful and spoiled.
But he couldn’t really blame Ye Qingqiu.
Everyone was pitiful.
“I’m sorry… Uncle Ye… I’m sorry…”
Ye Qingqiu’s shoulders trembled as though she could only say one sentence.
Uncle Ye sighed and knelt on the ground.
“Miss, Ye Ze didn’t do anything wrong… This is fate, fate…”
Ye Qingqiu paused and struggled to get up. She helped Uncle Ye up while Xiao Chu helped him to sit down.
A busy nurse reminded them, “You can only stay here for 30 minutes at most tonight.”

Li Tingshen went straight to the hospital park.
They stood in front of the row of cypresses.
Everything that happened today flashed across her mind again and again.
What was left was Ye Qingqiu’s every expression and every word.
It was as if she had hundreds of ways to stab someone.
It was thin and sharp, cold and sharp.
If Ye Ze died, she wouldn’t want him anymore.
She was the one who was afraid that he would leave. In the end, she was also the one who said that she didn’t want him.
Ha.
Ye Qingqiu.
A low and cold laugh escaped his throat. He took out his phone and his knuckles turned white.
He took out a phone and made a call. He pressed the phone to his ear and waited quietly for the other party to answer.
The summer night brought with it a warm breeze. There were still people strolling and chatting in the park, but there seemed to be only the sound of waiting in this world.
“Hello?” A low and calm voice sounded.
Li Tingshen said slowly, “Brother Bo, I have a request.”
“Beg?” The other party was silent for half a second, as if he was unfamiliar with this word, especially when it came from Li Tingshen.
“I’ve seen the news. If you want me to help you rebuild the Li Corporation, there’s no problem.”
“I’ll settle the Li Corporation myself.”
Bo Jinchuan smirked. This was the proud and conceited Li Tingshen he knew.
But in that case, what could make him put down his dignity to beg him?
It was rare for him to be interested in this matter. “Tell me what happened.”
“Help me save someone.”
“Since you’re begging me, this person… shouldn’t be easy to save.”
“… Yes.”
“What if it fails?”
Li Tingshen’s face was cold. “…I can’t fail.”
No matter what.
At any cost.
Ye Ze couldn’t die.
Half an hour later, Li Tingshen found the VIP ward.
Xiao Chu’s reaction was much more relaxed than expected.
Ye Qingqiu was sitting on the sofa outside the ward, eating a plate of cut fruits.
That was Ye Qingqiu’s request. Xiao Chu had personally skinned and cut it.
“CEO Li.”
Li Tingshen retracted his gaze from Ye Qingqiu, his expression and voice calm.
“You prepared this for her when I asked you to prepare dinner?”
Xiao Chu hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, CEO Li. Dinner will have to wait for a while. Madam said that she wants to eat Auntie Zhao’s cooking. I’ve already informed Auntie Zhao to prepare it.”
Li Tingshen was surprised that she would ask to eat.
It wasn’t her style today, but she was the same person who would never let herself suffer.
Li Tingshen’s expression softened. He took off his jacket, walked to the sofa, and threw it on the backrest.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t look at him as she scrolled through her phone. Occasionally, she would pick up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth.
He leaned over and sat down. Seeing that her plate of fruits was about to be emptied, but she had no intention of stopping, he spoke slowly.
“I still have to eat later.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t stop. “I want to eat food and fruits. I want to eat whatever I want to eat. Why didn’t I realize before that you still care about what I want to eat? Or do you feel that there are only two days left? If you don’t make me unhappy now, won’t you feel indignant?”
Her words were full of sarcasm.
In terms of who she wanted to upset, other than Ye Qingqiu, who else was better than her?
Xiao Chu carefully observed Li Tingshen’s expression.
Xiao Chu thought that he was probably someone like Li Tingshen.
If he were CEO Li, he would probably be angry.
However, Li Tingshen didn’t show any expression. He sat there and massaged his temples.
“It’s better to eat less tonight. If you eat too much, you’ll feel uncomfortable and it’ll affect my rest.”
Ye Qingqiu paused for a moment before saying, “Since you know, stay away from me. The bed at home should be very comfortable, or anywhere else. Don’t worry, even if I suffer and die, I won’t trouble you.”
Li Tingshen lowered his hand and looked up at Xiao Chu. He asked calmly, “How many servings did Aunt Zhao make?”
Xiao Chu paused. “It should be enough for two people.”
“Yes, let her pretend more. I’m very hungry.”
“Okay.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darkened.
Not long after, Aunt Zhao got someone to send supper over.
Xiao Chu helped to spread it open. Ye Qingqiu put away her phone and wanted to leave.
Li Tingshen picked up a bowl of rice and said calmly, “If you don’t want me to talk nonsense with you or force-feed you, just sit there and eat. In terms of energy, you have no right to waste it on me today.”
Xiao Chu hurriedly handed her the chopsticks. “Madam, you specially ordered these. No matter how angry you are, don’t let your stomach suffer.”
Impatience flashed across Ye Qingqiu’s face, but she still took the chopsticks.
Li Tingshen and Xiao Chu were right.
The two of them ate their own food the entire time. Neither of them picked up food for the other. They didn’t even bump into each other in the air.
Li Tingshen was the first to finish eating. He stood up and glanced at the time before glancing at Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu hurriedly left the ward.
“Go take a shower after eating.”
He lowered his head to look at Ye Qingqiu, who was still eating slowly. He said calmly before leaving the ward with his coat.
When Xiao Chu went out, there were two tall and unfamiliar men at the door. They had cold expressions and stood upright outside the ward, one on the left and one on the right. They were obviously guarding Madam’s ward.
He was shocked and turned around to see Li Tingshen walking out from behind.
“Sir, this is…”
Li Tingshen closed the door and glanced at him indifferently.
“Keep a close eye on her and don’t step out of this ward.”
Xiao Chu was puzzled. She would definitely look at Madam, but she couldn’t take a step out of the ward. She even called two bodyguards…
Was he going to imprison Madam?
“If you can’t do it, you can consider digging out your heart and lungs for Ye Ze.”
Xiao Chu shuddered.
Looking at Li Tingshen’s face carefully, he didn’t seem to be joking at all.
“… Yes.”
*
Ye Qingqiu didn’t plan to shower after eating. She wanted to visit her father and Ye Ze.
However, just as she opened the door, she saw two arms blocking her.
She snapped back to reality and looked at the two men in black suits standing there expressionlessly.
Frowning, she looked at Xiao Chu, who was standing not far away.
“What do you mean?”
Xiao Chu’s scalp went numb. “… Madam, for your safety…”
“Oh?” Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows lightly. “Could it be that Liang Xuer and her mother want to kill me after taking revenge?”
Xiao Chu didn’t know how to deal with this little princess, let alone now.
“Madam, don’t say that…”
“Isn’t that so? Other than the two of them, I really can’t think of anyone else who has such a deep opinion of me.”
Xiao Chu didn’t know what to say.
Thinking about it carefully, although it was said that the little princess of Ping Cheng City was arrogant and domineering, no one had ever offended her.
Perhaps she was afraid of her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, but he really couldn’t think of anyone who would threaten her.
Miss Liang and CEO Li seemed to hate her the most.
But after all, the two of them were rescued by Madam. No matter what, they couldn’t cause trouble for Madam at this time.
Hence, he didn’t understand what CEO Li meant.
“To be safe, Madam should go back and rest.”
“What if I don’t?”
Xiao Chu sighed. “I can only apologize, Madam.”
Ye Qingqiu wanted to go out again, but the two of them turned around and stood in front of her. They were like two solid walls, determined not to let her take a step out of the ward.
Ye Qingqiu knew that there was no outcome if she forced her way in. She picked up her phone and called Li Tingshen.
It took a long time for the call to go through. Li Tingshen’s low and indifferent voice sounded calmly.
“Yes?”
“I want to go out.”
“Have you showered? If you have, go to bed.”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Li Tingshen, what do you mean?”
“Take a shower and rest.”
“Li Tingshen!”
“Since you called me now, it proves that my arrangements are right. Don’t waste time with me. Aren’t you the last person you want to talk to? If you change your mind, I can go back and chat with you now.”
Ye Qingqiu hung up.
Li Tingshen put away his phone and walked out of the emergency exit.
On the ground not far away were flashing neon lights and a few red lines of traffic.
The entire Ping Cheng City was still filled with vitality. Everything that happened today was buried in this city. It was as if nothing had happened.
*
Back in the ward, Ye Qingqiu had taken a shower and her hair was wet.
Li Tingshen entered with a jacket on his wrist. He threw the jacket on the sofa and walked towards her.
Ye Qingqiu was standing by the window drinking water and looking at the night view of Ping Cheng City. No one knew what she was thinking.
She knew that Li Tingshen had entered and walked towards her.
His slender figure was reflected on the mirror.
He raised his hand and pinched her hair between his fingers. “Do you want me to dry it for you?”
Ye Qingqiu slapped his hand away.
“What do you mean?” Ye Qingqiu said calmly, “Are you afraid that I’ll ruin your program and escape? Or do you think I won’t divorce you and choose to hide?”
“You can rest assured. My father and Brother Ye Ze are both here. Even if I’m really guilty, I won’t leave them. If it’s the latter… Since I was the one who suggested it, there’s no need for me to go back on my words.”
Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently before walking into the washroom. In the end, he took the hairdryer and walked towards her.
“Sit on the bed.”
Ye Qingqiu suddenly tightened her grip on the cup.
This lukewarm attitude was really infuriating.
She couldn’t control her temper and splashed the warm water on Li Tingshen’s face.
“Who are you trying to show your good temper to? Are you afraid that I won’t write the shares for you on the divorce agreement? I’ll give them to you. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. The Ye Corporation will be finished in my hands sooner or later. Instead of being schemed against by others, I might as well give it to you. This way, there’s at least some hope for the Li Corporation. Even if you don’t have any designs on it, I’ll give it to you sooner or later. Otherwise, why would I let you help me manage the Ye Corporation willingly? I’ve given you a chance to make me covet it from the beginning. After suffering for so long, I should let you get what you want.”
His expensive light-colored shirt was drenched and droplets of water were still dripping down his cold face.
Li Tingshen didn’t even react when she splashed water on his face. However, after hearing Ye Qingqiu’s words, his eyes narrowed.
“Let us get what we want?”
Ye Qingqiu laughed sarcastically. “Your mother. Because my father loves my mother, and because your father loves my mother, she hates me to death? If there wasn’t a worthy reason, why would she agree to her son marrying me?”
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened again. “Did you hear something?”
“It’s indeed rare for me to hear about your conspiracy.”
“So, why? Oh, Xiao Chu said that you did it for my safety. Did your mother fall ill again? Who knows when she will rush in and stab me?”
Li Tingshen finally had an angry expression on his face. “Ye Qingqiu, even if you anger me on purpose, I won’t let you out tonight. You’ll have to wait for Ye Ze to die the day after tomorrow.”
The water on his face stopped dripping. Li Tingshen grabbed her hand and walked to the bed.
He didn’t seem to have completely controlled his temper. He was very strong and she almost staggered to the bed.
“You’re talking too much tonight. If you want to continue, I’ll accompany you for as long as you want.”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and allowed him to dry her hair.
“I didn’t know I was so annoying before. You’re quite patient.”
Li Tingshen paused for a moment before continuing to stroke her scalp. His fingers held her soft hair as he brushed past the hairdryer.
Then, he went into the bathroom.
Ye Qingqiu opened the door. The two of them were still guarding the door.
Xiao Chu leaned against the wall and looked down at her phone.
Ye Qingqiu suddenly stood up.
“Madam…”
Ye Qingqiu said expressionlessly, “I want to drink milk.”
Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly replied, “I’m going to prepare now.”
Ye Qingqiu closed the door again.
When Li Tingshen came out of the shower, Xiao Chu had just knocked on the door.
She was holding a glass of milk.
“Madam wants milk.”
Li Tingshen retracted his gaze and remained silent.
Ye Qingqiu leaned against the headboard and looked at her phone. The news online was everything that had happened today.
How was the Li Corporation?
How was the Ye Corporation?
How was Director Ye?
How was Liang Xuer?
Following the trending topics, they investigated the Li Corporation further.
Because Li Tingshen had already taken over the Ye Corporation for some time, the situation was still stable.
Her father’s surgery was very successful.
Liang Xuer…
Liang Xuer was disfigured. Her body was covered in glass shards and her entire body was burned.
However, she was lucky. When she was near the window, the explosion sent her out of the window. She fell outside and was burned by the fire downstairs for a long time.
But at least she was still alive and her internal organs were not injured.
Why was this woman so lucky?
Good people didn’t live long, but scourges lived for a thousand years.
Ye Qingqiu exited the interface and stood up to take the glass of milk.
Xiao Chu was very meticulous. The milk was at a suitable temperature. She raised her head and drank it. Then, she walked to the bed and lay down.
Li Tingshen received a call outside. It seemed to be about the Ye Corporation.
He came back, got into bed, and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t fall asleep and didn’t open her eyes in his embrace. “You’re about to get a divorce. Do you think this is interesting?”
“It’s boring, so should I press you down a few times to make it interesting?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled and she placed her arm on her waist. She placed her palm on her stomach and stopped talking.
She was really too tired today, so even though nothing had happened, Ye Qingqiu fell asleep quickly.
Her light breath landed on his chest. The softness and fragrance in his arms remained unchanged, but something seemed to have changed.
She had actually proposed a divorce.
He lowered his gaze and stared at her smooth forehead and curly eyelashes. His arms tightened around her body. After a while, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
*
The next day.
Under Li Tingshen’s supervision, Ye Qingqiu had breakfast and changed into clean clothes.
“I want to visit my father.”
“You can only watch it for 30 minutes in the afternoon.”
“I’ll go see Brother Ye Ze first.”
Li Tingshen remained silent.
Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly and looked up at Li Tingshen coldly. “Are you planning to lock me up for two days?”
Li Tingshen was silent for a while before putting on the clean clothes that Xiao Chu had prepared for him. He said calmly, “I’ll go with you.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything in vain.
When she opened the door, there were still two men in black. Xiao Chu was still there.
However, Li Tingshen didn’t stop her.
However, there was no one in the ICU.
Ye Ze wasn’t lying on the bed, and Uncle Ye wasn’t by his side either.
The entire ICU had been cleaned up. There was nothing left.
When Ye Qingqiu saw this scene, she froze on the spot. Her mind went blank.
