Bo Jinchuan didn’t care.
Since the surgery was successful, Li Tingshen couldn’t wait to wake up. The worst was just a matter of time.
He ignored Ye Zhenzhen’s words and stared at Ye Qingqiu.
“One lesson is enough. If this drags on… do you want him to give you another life?”
Ye Qingqiu’s heart skipped a beat.
Bo Jinchuan took in her expression and was satisfied.
Turning to look at Shen Fanxing, he buttoned her windbreaker.
“If you don’t agree to get married, I won’t interfere in his life or death. If you agree to get married…”
Bo Jinchuan buttoned Shen Fanxing’s shirt and tucked her hair behind her ear. His lips curled before he turned to look at Ye Qingqiu.
“Perhaps there will be an absolute surprise for you.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned.
“What do you think is a surprise to me now?”
Bo Jinchuan smirked and said, “If I say there is, there must be. If you’re curious, let’s try getting married first.”
Everyone was speechless.
Brother Bo must have been worried sick about Li Tingshen.
He used threats and promises.
Yin Ruijue and Bo Jinhang exchanged glances.
Their Brother Bo was so concerned about Li Tingshen. He had to let Li Tingshen know and be grateful to him for the rest of his life!

Three days.
Every day felt like a year.
Bo Jinchuan’s words frightened Ye Qingqiu.
Li Tingshen was still in critical condition and something unimaginable could happen at any time.
No one was allowed to visit in the ICU.
Twenty-four hours of close care tortured one’s heart.
Seven days.
Li Tingshen woke up and entered the ordinary ward.
Ye Qingqiu brought Linlin to see him. Her expression was calm and emotionless.
Fourteen days.
Li Tingshen removed the medical aid.
Ye Qingqiu remained expressionless and came at the same time every day. Not long before noon, she brought Linlin along.
She didn’t bring any food. Xiao Chu brought it over and the three of them ate together.
Li Tingshen ate while Ye Qingqiu sat on the sofa to feed Linlin and herself.
Bo Jinghang and Yin Ruijue came here every day and were chased out by Li Tingshen.
Then, the two of them continued the next day.
One month.
Li Tingshen planned to be discharged and the hospital agreed.
In the past month, Ye Qingqiu had barely spoken to him.
She came every day to have lunch with Linlin in his ward before going upstairs to visit Old Master Ye.
On the day of her discharge, Ye Qingqiu arrived early.
Linlin had been thinking about her the entire night. When she woke up early the next morning, she was woken up. She couldn’t flare up at Linlin and her anger accumulated in her chest.
When she reached the hospital at 8:30 pm, Li Tingshen was no longer in bed.
Standing at the window, he had already changed his clothes. Even though he was severely injured, she had never seen him in such a sorry state.
She was standing upright with her phone in her right hand.
Linlin called her father happily the moment she entered.
Li Tingshen turned his head and his gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu. Without blinking, his thin lips suddenly uttered a few words.
“I have something on. I’m hanging up.”
Ye Qingqiu seemed to have heard him say that there was no need to suppress her, but before she could think further, Li Tingshen walked to her side.
He grabbed her wrist. “Why are you so early today?”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him calmly. “Thanks to him.”
She reached out and pushed Linlin to Li Tingshen’s leg.
She felt extremely unbalanced.
Li Tingshen lowered his head. Linlin was looking at him eagerly, sandwiched between him and Ye Qingqiu.
Li Tingshen smiled and patted his head before pushing him aside.
She took two steps forward and hugged Ye Qingqiu.
Linlin was speechless.
She suddenly felt that she was unnecessary.
He pouted unhappily and walked to the room outside.
He had been here every day for the past month and was already familiar with this place. There were still drawings on the coffee table.
Smelling the faint fragrance on her neck, he spoke in a low voice.
“You’ve ignored me for the past month.”
Oh, she seemed to be complaining and aggrieved.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips as her gaze landed on the bed. Her gaze was cold and her voice was cold.
“Does your chest still hurt?”
Li Tingshen hugged her even tighter. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
There was silence in the ward.
After a while, she pushed him away and looked up at the handsome face of the man who was much taller than her.
Then, she smiled and slapped him on the face.
Li Tingshen’s face was slapped to the side, and a clear handprint appeared on his cold and handsome face.
However, there was no other expression on his face. He was so indifferent that it was as if the slap had landed on someone else’s face. His handsome and noble aura was not at all pathetic.
A few seconds later, he turned his head slowly and stared at Ye Qingqiu’s half-smile. He reached out and lifted her hand. His well-defined fingers unfolded her palm and massaged it gently.
“It doesn’t hurt?”
Ye Qingqiu’s fingers trembled.
Li Tingshen brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently.
When he looked up at her again, he was stunned.
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
“Do you feel relaxed now? Do you feel relieved?”
Li Tingshen looked at her. The fear, fear, and anger in her eyes made him suddenly understand that she had been suppressing her emotions.
It was a small outlet for her to vent her emotions. All her emotions seemed to have been released.
Her chest heaved violently as she retracted her hand from his. She clenched her fists and hammered his shoulder. Her low growl was trembling.
“Li Tingshen, you’re f*cking crazy. Bastard, you bastard!”
Ye Qingqiu had never scolded someone like this before.
In the past, no matter how angry she was, she would never spend her energy on being angry, let alone being so hysterical.
Perhaps it wasn’t to that extent.
Li Tingshen allowed her to hit him, but after hearing Ye Qingqiu’s words, he was stunned for a moment. His chest heaved, but he couldn’t hide the ecstasy in his heart. He reached out to grab her hand and hugged her tightly, staring at her with a burning gaze.
His joy made Ye Qingqiu even angrier.
“Is it funny?”
“You’re worried about me.”
Tears rolled down Ye Qingqiu’s face. Every day, every time she closed her eyes, she would see him stabbing himself in the heart.
The silver blade shortened inch by inch in front of her. Every time she thought of it, it was as though the knife was cutting her nerves inch by inch.
Even though she had stabbed his chest, the pain was excruciating.
The scene flashed across her mind again. Her face turned pale again and she was trembling.
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly as his low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears.
“Sorry.”
“I said I don’t want to hear that word again.”
“I’m sorry.”
Ye Qingqiu’s breathing deepened.
Li Tingshen reached out to caress her back. “I said that I’ll be fine. I do everything just to be with you, so I’ll definitely be fine.”
“You’re only saying this now because you’re fine. Li Tingshen, do you think that I was easy to coax in the past and that’s why you’re so careless now? Everyone related to you came that day. Even Bo Jinchuan wasn’t confident that he could save you. You’re unconscious in the emergency room and your life is in someone else’s hands. What makes you so sure?”
“Because I have to live. Because I want to be with you. Because I’ve let you down. I haven’t made it up to you. Because I can’t let you be involved with another man. Because you love me the most, so I can’t let you lose me. Because you’ll be afraid and at a loss. Then you’ll take all the responsibility and blame yourself. I won’t allow you to live in pain alone in this world…”
Ye Qingqiu bit her lips as tears welled up in her eyes.
After a long while, she suddenly sneered as tears streamed down her face.
“You said that you have to be alive, so you will definitely be alive. You’re really amazing. You can even grasp human lives so accurately. It seems like there’s nothing in this world that you can’t grasp, right?”
Li Tingshen reached out to wipe the tears off her face before kissing the tip of her nose and pressing his forehead against hers.
“No.” His voice was low and hoarse as he kissed the tears on her face. “You know very well that it’s you. You’re the only one. From the moment you said that you like me and love me, I’ve been worried that you would say that you don’t want me.”
Ye Qingqiu held her breath.
She looked up at him, her eyelashes glistening with tears.
Li Tingshen kissed her.
“You said that you like me, but I’m not that good. I’ve been worrying if you’ll dump me without hesitation after your novelty wears off.”
“That’s why I’m thinking that as long as I’m outstanding enough, strong enough to be worthy of you and give you something that no one else can, will you love me and stay by my side?”
She had never heard him say so much to her.
He had revealed all his trump cards to her.
Afraid?
He was afraid that she would abandon him on a whim…
So he was afraid of these too.
She thought that she was the only one who was afraid.
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes. She knew that feeling very well.
“So you’ve always thought that my feelings are that superficial.”
“No, I don’t understand.”
He wasn’t born familiar with everything.
“What about now?” Ye Qingqiu asked.
“I still don’t understand.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned and Li Tingshen lifted her chin. His dark eyes seemed to pierce through her eyes. “So you have to teach me well. I’m stupid. I have to teach you for the rest of my life.”
Ye Qingqiu’s heartbeat was a little erratic, but her frown deepened. “I’m not qualified and I don’t understand.”
“Sure, the two of us can learn and discuss together.”
“Li Tingshen, who gave you the illusion that everything has passed…”
“You promised me and I can’t let you go back on your word. Even if you want to…” He frowned and his voice was firm. “See if you can get rid of me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers.
Ye Qingqiu reached out to push him, but she stopped in time when she touched his chest.
Afraid of pressing on his wound, her hands stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
She was forced to the wall not far behind her. Her retreating action made her subconsciously grip the clothes on Li Tingshen’s shoulders.
Her teeth were pried open and he kissed her passionately.
He was determined to make her addicted.
Li Tingshen indeed felt a lot less depressed.
The moment Ye Qingqiu slapped him.
Compared to the surprise and anger, he felt more comfortable.
It was much better for her to throw a tantrum in front of him than before.
The fact that she was still angry at him was already the best outcome.
He became more and more engrossed, and his kiss showed signs of losing control. Ye Qingqiu was dizzy from the kiss, but she still had a trace of rationality.
Many people would definitely come to the hospital. Although they had never thought of doing anything here, it would be awkward if someone saw them.
Fortunately, Li Tingshen was still rational. After a long kiss, he pecked her ear and his deep and hoarse voice entered her ear.
“Shall we move to the bridal chamber?”
With a few words and a few kisses, Ye Qingqiu’s ears itched. A numbing sensation made her turn her head and move her ears slightly.
“We’re divorced.”
Li Tingshen was silent for a while. “…The doctor said that I need three months to recover.”
Ye Qingqiu pushed him away and stroked her hair. She pursed her lips and said, “Aren’t you good at freeloading? It’s not far away. It’s very convenient to freeload.”
Someone knocked on the door and Li Tingshen fell silent.
Li Tingshen was discharged from the hospital and naturally returned to the wedding room.
Ye Qingqiu returned to Qingqiu Manor.
At night, Li Tingshen came over for dinner.
In the end, she slept on half of Ye Qingqiu’s bed.
*
For more than a month, the news about Liang Xuer had never stopped.
Ever since she was taken away from the hospital that day and was photographed by the media, the entire internet had exploded.
All the causes and consequences were dug out by the netizens, including the dirt that they had accumulated over the past few years but didn’t dare to expose or was suppressed by the public relations department. It was like a huge wave that was unstoppable.
Some people disagreed with Li Tingshen’s years of relationship deception and mocked him.
However, Liang Xuer had perjured herself when the little princess of Ping Cheng City was imprisoned.
Even Mother Li had committed suicide to frame Liang Xuer.
Liang Xuer had committed murder on purpose and the evidence had long been released by the legal department.
She was Li Tingshen’s mother.
In comparison, although Li Tingshen had ulterior motives, he had treated her well for the past three years.
Not only was she the top actress in C&P Entertainment, but she was also the top actress in the entire entertainment industry.
All the conveniences were given to her. Everything was smooth sailing, making people envious and jealous.
No matter how popular the news was, it had gradually calmed down after more than a month.
The reason why everyone had mentioned it online was because…
Liang Xuer was diagnosed with mental illness.
According to the law, if the criminal had a mental illness, they would not be held liable.
Ye Qingqiu read the news online and sneered.
She recalled that Li Tingshen was on the phone when she entered the ward yesterday.
There was a high chance that he was referring to Liang Xuer’s mental illness.
She didn’t know if Liang Xuer was really crazy or not.
Just like what those people online had said, she held all kinds of honors in her hands, held the Best Actress Award in her hands, and was domineering in the entertainment industry. Every drama was a masterpiece and a huge joke.
There were so many fans who were infatuated with a lunatic. Every day, they would support a lunatic, fight, and go crazy. Then, they would tear apart all the other artistes who affected their goddess like mad dogs. It couldn’t be more ridiculous.
If it was fake, it was impressive that she could avoid the appraisal.
Li Tingshen came over to ask her what she wanted to eat for lunch. Ye Qingqiu was sitting on the sofa with an empty plate in her arms. It was filled with cut fruits.
She glanced at him and placed the plate on the coffee table.
“Anything. I’m not picky.”
Anyway, the things prepared by the servants were definitely to her liking.
Li Tingshen glanced at her phone and pursed his lips.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t hide anything. Her voice was lazy and mocking.
“Nothing has happened between the two of us yet. She can even escape at this stage. Am I destined to lack her?”
Li Tingshen took the phone from her hand and threw it aside.
“Do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“No, I just lost my appetite. I don’t want to eat anything.”
With that, she stood up and said, “Feed Linlin lunch. I won’t eat.”
Li Tingshen reached out to stop her. “Because she’s mistreating her stomach?”
Ye Qingqiu curled her lips slightly, her slender eyebrows carrying a hint of laziness and arrogance.
“I don’t think it’s necessary either, but Liang Xuer does disgust her to the core. She has a stench. No one would have the appetite to eat after seeing a pile of shit.”
“Then make her disappear.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned.
Li Tingshen smiled and bent down to turn on the television.
“Watch TV first. What you’re worried about won’t happen.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t understand.
Before lunch, she knew the answer.
Liang Xuer was sent to a mental hospital.
She had indeed been disgusted by Liang Xuer, but she had never thought about what would happen to her in the future.
Hence, she was quite surprised by this outcome.
The person who should have been released was sent to the mental hospital in the blink of an eye.
He wondered how she would feel.
Thinking of her hatred and hysteria, she couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Although it was a little immoral to gloat, he was extremely tolerant of Liang Xuer.
Sitting in the dining room, she picked up her chopsticks and looked at Li Tingshen. “Your idea?”
“Not satisfied?”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow indifferently.
“It’s alright. Compared to dying and ending everything, I prefer watching the people I hate suffer.”
Li Tingshen glanced at her. “…I can tell.”
*
Half a month later, Li Tingshen went to bed.
Ye Qingqiu sat by the bed and watched as the man walked out of her bathroom with a hairdryer in his hand. Her eyebrows furrowed.
“Is it interesting to stay here and serve others under the pretense that you’re sick and need someone to take care of you?”
Li Tingshen plugged it in and dried her hair.
A warm breeze blew past his fingertips. Li Tingshen rubbed the soft hair in his hand, his eyes dark.
After drying her hair, he pulled her into his embrace and buried his head in her neck. Smelling her fragrance, his low and hoarse voice gave Ye Qingqiu goosebumps.
It was not because she was shy, but because she was completely shocked.
He said, “Can I give you Ye Ze’s life in advance?”
