Chapter 1958  : Eighteen Years Old When Ye Jianyun heard from the servant that Ye Qingqiu had gone to the company with Li Tingshen, she sighed and shook her head in amusement.

It was obvious that his precious daughter insisted on going.

Although he had always been reluctant to let his daughter suffer, he had thought that the person his daughter would entrust her life to would be outstanding enough to love her.

But she didn’t expect her daughter to be the one chasing after him.

To be honest, he felt a little aggrieved. However, his daughter liked him.

On second thought, if other boys took the initiative to pursue her… she wouldn’t be able to accept them.

With Qingqiu’s personality, she would probably fall in love with him first before taking the initiative.

However, she had fallen for the cold-tempered Li Tingshen.

Since the young mistress had arrived, Ye Ming did not dare to neglect her.

Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen were in the same office.

That was the office that Ye Jianyun had specially instructed Ye Ming to reserve for Li Tingshen.

Ye Qingqiu leaned against the leather sofa and ate the fruit platter that Ye Ming had ordered.

Leaning against the French windows, one could see the blue sea and clear sky.

Li Tingshen sat on the chair at his desk and talked to Ye Ming about work.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t pay much attention to their conversation. She only felt a sense of accomplishment when she heard Li Tingshen’s deep and calm voice.

She was happier than getting full marks herself.

That was strange.

After stuffing a mouthful of cantaloupe into her mouth, Ye Qingqiu knelt on the sofa and looked at Li Tingshen.

Compared to Ye Ming, he was simply too young.

However, he didn’t panic at all. His calm attitude looked calm and reliable.

He was already like this at the beginning. If he really got familiar with him in the future, he would be much more handsome than now.

Her gaze was too intense and Li Tingshen finally looked up at her.

“There are words on my face?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and suddenly laughed.

“Your words are exactly the same as our form teacher.”

Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened.

Ye Ming seemed to have the same experience as Ye Qingqiu and couldn’t help but smile.

“If you don’t want to do your homework, go out.”

Seeing that Li Tingshen seemed to be in a bad mood, Ye Qingqiu pouted and returned to the sofa. She took out a book and pen from her bag.

The back of the sofa blocked Li Tingshen’s line of sight. He only retracted his gaze when he heard her flipping the book.

After Ye Ming left, the office returned to silence.

Ye Qingqiu was studying on the sofa while Li Tingshen was working at his desk.

After some time, Li Tingshen got up to get some water, but his gaze landed on a quiet spot.

The so-called student was lying on the sofa with a book on his chest and a pen in his hand.

She had already gone to meet Duke Zhou.

His lips twitched mockingly.

However, he walked towards her.

She really didn’t look like much, but her sleeping posture was normal. She was wearing a pure-colored dress, but it wasn’t messy at all.

The hem of her dress was well-behaved. Her slender and straight legs were slightly pressed together, revealing only her beautiful legs. Her head was slightly tilted, and her long black hair was scattered on the armrest of the sofa. Her body…

Her face was beautiful and exquisite, and her facial features seemed to have been meticulously carved by a famous craftsman. There were no flaws.

He actually understood why Liang Xuer kept mentioning her.

She was probably not the only one. If other women saw her, they would probably feel unbalanced.

She was impeccably beautiful and was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was born in the Ye family and was doted on by the Ye family. She was the publicly acknowledged princess of the Ye family in Ping Cheng City…

It was understandable for Liang Xuer to become sensitive after living with her all day.

Ye Qingqiu…

He retracted his gaze from her face, but his gaze stopped on the hand on her stomach.

She frowned slightly.

After a long while, he stepped forward and bent down to remove the pen from her hand.

She pinched it and twirled it between her fingers thoughtfully. Finally, she used her thumb.

With a crack, it broke into two.

Her voice made Ye Qingqiu frown and move her body.

Li Tingshen glanced at her before walking to his desk and throwing the pen into the bin.

There was the sound of a book falling to the ground and a rustling sound from the sofa.

Then, Ye Qingqiu’s messy hair was revealed. She raised her arms and yawned.

Was this studying?

She was clearly sleeping comfortably.

After placing the book on the coffee table, a head popped out from the side of the sofa and looked in Li Tingshen’s direction.

“Li Tingshen, aren’t you hungry?”

She had just woken up and her voice was lazy and seductive.

She was almost leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

“Are you a pig?”

When she woke up, she would eat.

Ye Qingqiu sighed and stood up from the sofa. She walked to his side and placed her hand on the desk. She leaned lazily on the edge of the desk and brought the phone in her other hand to him.

“Look, it’s almost midnight.”

“…”

“What are we eating for lunch? Oh… I forgot to tell my family to send us food. Mommy Sun’s dishes are the best. The dishes in the restaurants outside are all good-looking but useless. They don’t taste good.”

Li Tingshen’s face was cold. “I’m going to the company canteen to eat.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu frowned and a look of disdain appeared on her face.

“How can that be delicious?”

Li Tingshen closed the document and stood up. He walked past her and walked towards the door.

“You can continue to invite others to eat outside.”

“Why are you asking someone else? I’m asking you. Are you going?”

Li Tingshen opened the door and looked down at the girl who had caught up with him. He said coldly, “I’m not going.”

After saying that, he let go of the door and walked out. Ye Qingqiu followed behind him.

“Then I’ll go to the canteen with you.”

Although she sounded aggrieved, she was mostly accommodating and compromising.

When the princess of the Ye family arrived, the atmosphere in the canteen changed.

Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen ordered heavy dishes.

Li Tingshen wanted light dishes and she wanted meat dishes.

The two of them sat down and Ye Qingqiu gave Li Tingshen a piece of pork rib.

“It’s not like you don’t eat meat. You’re cold and indifferent. It’s fine if you’re like a monk with a pure heart and few desires, but if you’re like this when it comes to eating, you better not be a monk.”

Li Tingshen glanced at the food on her plate.

Ye Qingqiu seemed to understand him and said with a smile, “They’re all for you.”

“I want to eat it myself.”

“My father doesn’t like health supplements. Everyone knows that those expensive things are good, but he probably won’t want to eat them one day.”

Ye Qingqiu picked up another piece of braised pork for him.

“So, don’t think that you’re very capable. Sometimes, someone needs to supervise you on certain matters. You’re busy with work and I’m in charge of your meals. Isn’t the division of labor clear?”

Li Tingshen looked down calmly. “I can’t eat that much.”

“It’s okay, I can help you eat some.”

The people around them took in their actions.

Ye Qingqiu liked Li Tingshen.

Ye Qingqiu had never concealed it, and everyone could tell.

There were many gazes and whispers around.

Ye Qingqiu took a sip of the soup and her eyebrows twitched.

The taste was barely satisfactory.

Li Tingshen had already finished a few mouthfuls of food and there was no change in his expression.

She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of vegetables from his plate.

The simplest stir-fried vegetables was… the taste of vegetables.

That’s right. No matter how much she stir-fried, she couldn’t cook anything else.

Unlike meat dishes, which required a lot of ingredients and taste.

She finally understood why Li Tingshen ordered all the vegetables.

However, seeing that he had eaten the braised pork and steak she had given him and his expression was normal, it meant that he could accept the taste.

She gave him another piece of meat and took away a vegetable.

Li Tingshen looked up. “Ye Qingqiu.”

There was something in Ye Qingqiu’s mouth. “Huh?”

“There are so many people around. Can you restrain yourself?”

She stopped chewing and looked around.

Although those people retracted their gazes quickly, Ye Qingqiu still caught a few.

Raising an eyebrow, she swallowed the vegetable in her mouth and turned to stare at Li Tingshen.

“Then do you know that I like you?”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

Ye Qingqiu leaned back against the chair.

“It seems like I don’t know. It seems like I have to be more obvious in the future.”

“Ye Qingqiu.”

“Do what?”

Li Tingshen looked at her and his thin lips moved slightly, but he didn’t say a word.

Ye Qingqiu picked up a few grains of rice with a carefree smile on her face.

She had never felt that Li Tingshen could react slower than others.

How could he not know what others could understand at a glance?

Besides, how many times had she told him bluntly?

She had said it and done it.

Rather than calling him a fool, it was more like he was unwilling to face this problem.

If she wasn’t willing, she would wait until he was willing.

Anyway, she had plenty of time.

Anyway, she wouldn’t allow him to like another woman.

Anyway, he would be hers sooner or later.

“What if I say I know?”

Just as she was feeling smug, Li Tingshen’s voice sounded.

Her hand that was fiddling with the rice paused and she looked up at Li Tingshen in surprise. She was even more surprised to see a trace of mockery in his eyes.

She raised her delicate eyebrows and sat up straight. She rested her chin on her hands and smiled at him. “Since you know, do you want to consider being my boyfriend?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. He didn’t expect her to be at a loss.

“I won’t consider it.”

Ye Qingqiu wasn’t angry. “Alright, I’ll continue to work hard.”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

“You’re not done?”

“We’ll talk about it when you agree to marry my child’s father.”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything else. If he continued, he wouldn’t be able to finish the food.

In the end, Ye Qingqiu didn’t finish her meal.

After the two of them left the restaurant, the others heaved a sigh of relief.

“Who is being pursued by our princess?”

“I’m not sure. She seems like a difficult person.”

“That’s right. Miss Ye has a good figure, a good face, and most importantly, her family background! If you marry her, not only will you lose decades of hard work, but you will also be someone who has saved generations of hard work.”

“Do you think the little princess likes anyone? Look at his looks and temperament. However, I’ve already seen him in the company for two days. Which department is he from?”

“What department? The chairman personally brought him into the company to learn. It seems like he wants to nurture him as his future son-in-law.”

“Oh, no wonder. Judging from his personality, he shouldn’t be easy to get along with. But he’s so close to the little princess. So he’s… a live-in son-in-law?”

“Shh, you’re courting death! Be careful not to die before you know it.”

—

Although that was the case, being a live-in son-in-law and living off a woman had become a well-known gossip in the company.

—

After being injured by Li Tingshen in the car, Liang Xuer rarely appeared in front of him.

Ye Qingqiu was still the same. She had a reason but no reason.

Li Tingshen was either studying in school or in the company.

Ye Jianyun brought him to attend various meetings in the company.

In a year, Li Tingshen could completely take over the Li family’s company. It was not until the fourth year of university that Ye Jianyun handed the company to him.

It had been more than two years.

Many things changed with time.

Because Liang Xuer skipped a grade, her results were lacking. In the end, she relied on her art to get into T University.

Ye Qingqiu naturally pestered Li Tingshen to tutor her. In the end, she scored more than 30 points and successfully entered T University.

Ye Jianyun was shocked.

His daughter couldn’t be so outstanding in her studies.

The reason why Ye Qingqiu was so outstanding was because she had asked Li Tingshen for a condition before the exam.

If she successfully entered T University, Li Tingshen would need to fulfill her wish.

At that time, she didn’t have much hope that Li Tingshen would agree.

In the end, when he nodded in agreement, she was stunned for a long time.

When she was facing the college entrance examination, she was indeed very frustrated.

But she didn’t think that Li Tingshen would agree just to appease her.

She had double-checked with him—

“Are you sure? No matter what your wish is, you will agree.”

At that time, he was sitting at his desk reading documents. He didn’t even look up. His voice was stiff and cold—

“It seems that my answer just now wasn’t what you wanted.”

These words gave her enough threat.

She immediately raised her hand to stop him.

“Alright, you can shut up now. Your answer just now is what I want.”

She was obviously afraid that he would go back on his word.

It was rare for him to earn such a huge benefit. Of course, she couldn’t let it go just because of her words.

Because of that promise, Ye Qingqiu performed exceptionally for the second time in her life and finally got into university.

This year, Ye Qingqiu was 18 years old.
