Chapter 1939: Did She Understand Wrong?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For the entire summer break, Ye Qingqiu went to the Li family almost every day.

Li Tingshen’s room was similar to hers.

There were traces of her everywhere. There was her pillow on the bed, the plush doll she was used to hugging when she slept, the clothes she had changed into in the wardrobe, and even her daily shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. There was also a bouquet of flowers that she had to change into every day, as well as other ornaments. There were also books that she used to study beside her. They were pressed tightly against his usual books.

He didn’t notice it usually, but every time after she left, his room would be filled with her things.

Even though he could finally calm down and read his book, the sounds of the ornaments on the table made it difficult for him to calm down.

!!

Even after she left, there was still no peace.

Li Tingshen put the book aside and leaned back in his chair to look at the decorations on the table. There was no emotion in his dark eyes.

Logically speaking, it was easy for young ladies of similar age to become good sisters.

However, Ye Qingqiu and Liang Xuer were different. Even though they lived under the same roof, the two of them rarely interacted other than necessary conversations.

After all, she had an additional child. Ye Jianyun naturally had to be careful of her. Liang Xuer would definitely have a share of the things he had prepared for her.

Moreover, Ye Jianyun had chatted with Ye Qingqiu more than once in private, asking her to take care of Liang Xuer. When it was time to be modest, she would be modest, saying that she had just arrived and was unfamiliar with this place. They were the same age and it was easy for them to get together.

Perhaps Ye Qingqiu was born with a rebellious nature. Perhaps she didn’t like her father being overly concerned about other girls other than her. Perhaps it was because Liang Xuer had spent more time with Li Tingshen than her. Perhaps all these reasons were present.

Although she agreed, her actions remained the same.

Liang Xuer only knew that Ye Qingqiu had gone to the Li family to look for Li Tingshen on the first day she returned.

She didn’t take the initiative to ask, but during dinner, Ye Qingqiu suddenly asked her,

“Do you think there’s something wrong with Li Tingshen? There are only chairs and no tables in the room. What’s wrong with him?”

She didn’t know why she asked this question, but she really didn’t know why.

“Maybe you haven’t chosen a table yet?”

Then, Ye Qingqiu gave her a rare smile. “Really?”

Liang Xuer suddenly remembered something and looked up at her. “You went into his room?”

Ye Qingqiu replied vaguely, “I’m looking for him to tutor me.”

Her grip on the chopsticks tightened.

He had never liked anyone entering his room. This was the case overseas. She had entered his room once, but before she could enter, she was blocked by him.

After knowing some of his habits from Auntie Lian, she never entered his room again.

All these years, she had witnessed his taboo, but she didn’t expect Ye Qingqiu to break it so easily.

Not just once, but for an entire summer vacation.

Every time, she would see Ye Qingqiu taking something away from home before returning empty-handed. She didn’t even need to think about where it went.

But what were those things?

Pillows, pillows, plush toys, even clothes, shampoo, shower gel…

Even if Ye Qingqiu stayed at his house one day and didn’t come back, there was nothing wrong with that.

Even he was so indulgent towards Ye Qingqiu?

Everyone doted on her and loved her.

She thought that she was the princess who was born and raised in the Ye family. She was pretty and cute and knew how to say nice things to make them happy. That was why she was doted on by the Ye family.

Unexpectedly, everyone liked her, including Li Tingshen.

School would start the day after tomorrow. After dinner, Old Master Ye, who had stayed at home for more than two months because of the pain of losing his beloved son, suddenly called.

Ye Jianyun put down the phone and told Ye Qingqiu and Liang Xuer that Grandpa was coming over for lunch tomorrow.

Hence, Ye Qingqiu was a little disappointed that she couldn’t look for Li Tingshen tomorrow.

Liang Xuer’s face was pale and her hands were clasped together uneasily. Her eyes were filled with panic.

Ye Jianyun went forward and patted her shoulder gently. She was shocked and shrunk her shoulders.

“Don’t be nervous. You’re the granddaughter of the Ye family like Qingqiu. You’re very obedient. Grandpa will definitely like you.”

Liang Xuer didn’t know if her grandfather would like her. She only knew that her grandfather didn’t like her mother. Even when her mother left this world, he didn’t acknowledge her as the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.

When Auntie Lian said these words, she seemed to be very angry.

Even now, she didn’t understand why she was so angry.

Ye Qingqiu picked two strawberries from the plate and went upstairs.

After returning to her room, she took out her phone and called Li Tingshen.

It took a long time for him to answer the call. Ye Qingqiu could imagine his phone ringing in his room. He had to finish reading the page before answering the call.

Sometimes, she wondered how many people had called him with his personality. Could it be that she was the only one who had neglected him?

After a long time, the call was finally picked up.

A clear voice sounded from the phone. “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qingqiu lay on the bed, pulling the ears of the plush toy unhappily.

“I can’t go to your place tomorrow. Don’t ask Auntie Chen to cook for me…”

Li Tingshen frowned slightly, but no emotions could be seen.

“Got it.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Aren’t you going to ask me why?”

Li Tingshen was silent for two seconds before asking calmly, “Why?”

This perfunctory look was really annoying. Ye Qingqiu pouted and said, “Grandpa is coming over tomorrow.”

Li Tingshen paused for a moment before replying calmly.

The cold response made Ye Qingqiu take a deep breath. She hung up the phone and pinched the furry toy’s ears.

“I can’t do anything with one kick!”

Li Tingshen threw his phone on the bed and fell silent for a few seconds before turning to go downstairs with a glass of water.

Aunt Chen was discussing with the other servants what to cook tomorrow. Lian Lili was watching the news in the living room.

She had to go to the company every day to keep an eye on her. Ye Jianyun had arranged for her to be the acting general manager. Although there was no doubt about her trustworthiness, she had to understand it herself.

In reality, she was just a decoration. She felt dizzy looking at those reports.

At the end of every month, she threw the matter to the general manager and then threw the data to Ye Jianyun to confirm.

Rather than calling it the Ye family’s company, it was more like an affiliate of the Ye family.

But Lian Lili’s attitude towards this matter…

She didn’t like the Ye family, but she trusted Ye Jianyun.

Seeing him coming down, Lian Lili only gave him a glance.

Li Tingshen walked into the dining room and poured himself a glass of water.

“Lunch tomorrow will be simpler. Miss Ye has something on and can’t come.”

Aunt Chen responded.

Li Tingshen walked out of the restaurant and Lian Lili suddenly stopped him.

“I heard that the princess of the Ye family skipped a grade?”

Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks and grunted.

Lian Lili was silent for a while. “She’s not coming tomorrow. Why?”

Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently. “I don’t have to know everything about her.”

Lian Lili leaned against the sofa with her arms crossed, her face expressionless.

“The company has always been taken care of by the Ye family. The entire Ye family revolves around the little princess of the Ye family. It’s best to coax her well. With that little princess’s personality, no one can control her. It’s rare that she likes you.”

“I think I can participate in the company’s matters now.”

“This doesn’t conflict with you coaxing her.”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and went upstairs.

Lian Lili’s voice sounded again. “Tingshen, Xu’er has just arrived at the Ye residence and is emotionally sensitive. Don’t neglect her. She has always listened to you.”

Li Tingshen’s face tensed up, but he didn’t respond.

Old Master Ye arrived at nine the next morning.

Liang Xuer was wearing the dress that Ye Jianyun had asked someone to prepare for her. She stood behind Ye Jianyun nervously.

There was no trace of a smile on the old man’s face. His lips were pursed tightly and his brows were furrowed. He looked dignified and intimidating.

She thought about it all night. I didn’t know how to face this so-called grandfather.

This was her grandfather, but he didn’t like her mother. She should hate him, but she couldn’t lose her respect. If she respected him, she would feel guilty towards her wronged mother.

She couldn’t find a balance and didn’t know how to face this “grandfather”.

Now, the old man’s aura made her feel uneasy and afraid. She couldn’t think of how to hate him.

Ye Jianyun pulled her to the old man. “Dad, this is Xu’er, Jianxiao’s daughter. Xu’er, call me Grandpa.”

The 13-year-old Liang Xuer was at a loss and called Ye Jianyun “Grandpa”.

Her voice was soft, nervous, and distant.

The old man stood there and looked at her for a while before turning his gaze to Ye Jianyun.

“Where’s Qingqiu?”

Liang Xuer pursed her lips.

Ye Jianyun sighed softly. He didn’t know if it was because of Old Master’s cold attitude towards Liang Xuer or because of Ye Qingqiu.

“That girl woke her up long ago…”

The old man glared at Ye Jianyun. “Why are you calling her?! Are you going to be angry when you wake up later? You’ve spoiled her!”

Although he said that, one could still hear the doting tone in his voice.

She walked into the living room and sat down.

The old master then shifted his gaze to Liang Xuer.

“Come here.”

Liang Xuer glanced at Ye Jianyun, who patted her head gently.

She walked over slowly and the old man sized her up for a while. His eyes flashed before he exhaled deeply.

“You don’t have to be nervous and restrained. The Ye family is your home. You’re the daughter of the Ye family like Qingqiu. The shares in your father’s hands will also be yours in the future. You can say whatever you want openly. No one will dare to slight you! Understand?”

The old man’s face was cold as he spoke.

Liang Xuer could only nod.

Ye Qingqiu came downstairs and heard the Old Master’s words.

“Grandpa, I’m jealous.”

Liang Xuer looked at the old man’s stern face. The moment Ye Qingqiu’s voice sounded, she smiled like a child.

“You’re awake?”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head and sat beside the Old Master. She hugged his arm and leaned against him.

“I’ve always remembered that Grandpa is coming over today, but I didn’t sleep well. So Grandpa, every time you come, you have to come secretly. Don’t greet me. That way, I can have a good sleep and see you when I wake up.”

“Qingqiu!” Ye Jianyun was helpless. This child really didn’t know what restraint was.

The old man laughed. “Okay, okay, okay. Grandpa will come quietly next time!”

Ye Jianyun pursed her lips and shook her head.

With Qingqiu’s personality, who else would take credit?

Old Master Ye treated Liang Xuer very well.

No one in the Ye family was surprised. Only Liang Xuer was surprised.

Oh, she wasn’t the only one.

In the morning, Old Master asked Liang Xuer about her past. Liang Xuer answered every question.

In conclusion, she had lived with Lian Lili and Li Tingshen since she was young. Lian Lili had never mistreated her.

After lunch, Old Master said, “Move to the old residence and live with me.”

Liang Xuer was a little stunned and subconsciously glanced at Ye Jianyun.

Ye Jianyun said, “Dad, let Xu’er stay here. She’s about the same age as Qingqiu and she used to go to school. It’s convenient to pick her up and there’s no need to trouble her.”

Old Master sighed deeply. “In that case, shouldn’t you consider moving back to the old residence with Qingqiu?”

Ye Jianyun’s face darkened.

In the end, Liang Xuer stayed.

In the afternoon, everyone sent Old Master Li off and bumped into Li Tingshen at the entrance.

He was wearing a simple shirt and black pants. The sunlight shone on him through the gaps in the dense parasol leaves above his head.

He was quiet and handsome.

Ye Qingqiu was surprised. She ran over and looked up at him. “Why are you here?”

Li Tingshen greeted Old Master Li and Ye Jianyun politely.

Her gaze landed on Liang Xuer, who was standing beside Ye Jianyun. She paused for a moment before retracting her gaze.

The old man sized up Li Tingshen for a long time and something flashed across his eyes.

“This is?”

Ye Jianyun said, “He’s Jingyi’s son.”

Old Master Li pondered for a while. “The Li family.”

“Yes.”

The old man nodded at Li Tingshen. “That’s right.”

Without saying anything, she glanced at Ye Qingqiu, who was standing beside Li Tingshen, and smiled thoughtfully.

Ye Qingqiu tugged at the buttons on Li Tingshen’s shirt unhappily.

“I’m asking you a question. Why did you suddenly come?”

Li Tingshen glanced at her and the chauffeur handed him a bag.

Li Tingshen took it and handed it to her. “Take it.”

Ye Qingqiu was puzzled for a moment before she took it happily. “You specially came here to deliver this to me… What is this?!”

Initially, she thought that it was a tempting gift. However, when she saw what was inside, her beautiful face frowned.

Li Tingshen’s lips twitched imperceptibly.

Her voice was clear and cold.

“Today’s homework.”

“You came all the way here just to give me homework? You’re really awesome, Teacher Li!”

Ye Qingqiu wanted to throw the bag on the ground and stomp on it.

“What else do you think it is?”

Ye Qingqiu hugged her bag and snorted.

Liang Xuer looked at them and her heart tightened.

Was this still the Li Tingshen she knew?

She was cold and indifferent. She didn’t take anyone seriously and didn’t allow anyone to approach her. She couldn’t be bothered to have any meaningless conversations with anyone.

However, he allowed Ye Qingqiu to enter his room and promised to tutor her personally. Now… he was still teasing her?

Ye Qingqiu…

Everyone treated her differently.

Grandpa said that she was the daughter of the Ye family like her.

However, even a blind person could tell how much he doted on Ye Qingqiu.

“Why are you standing here? Aren’t you going in?” Ye Qingqiu asked.

Li Tingshen stuffed his hands into his pockets. “No, if there’s nothing else, I should go back.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Everyone is here!”

Li Tingshen ignored her and walked to the car.

Ye Qingqiu knew his character. Just as she turned around angrily, Liang Xuer’s voice sounded.

“Brother Tingshen.”

Ye Qingqiu paused and turned to look at her.

Liang Xuer had already run to Li Tingshen.

She frowned, but Ye Jianyun blocked her vision and patted her head gently. “Let’s go. Aren’t we going back?”

Seeing that Li Tingshen had stopped, Ye Qingqiu turned around and looked at Liang Xuer.

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Jianyun held Ye Qingqiu’s hand.

Liang Xuer stood there in silence for a long time. She looked up at him cautiously.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. You seem to have been busy all summer.”

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly and was silent for a long time. He raised his eyes and looked ahead. Ye Qingqiu, who was being pulled by Ye Jianyun towards the villa, said slowly, “The Ye family should treat you well.”

Liang Xuer bit her lips. “…Yes.”

However, compared to Ye Qingqiu, she seemed like an outsider.

“That’s good.”

Just as Li Tingshen finished speaking and was about to get into the car, someone grabbed his shirt.

He frowned and lowered his head to look at his waist. A hand grabbed his shirt tightly, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage to not retract it under Li Tingshen’s cold gaze.

“You have something else to say?”

Liang Xuer bit her lips hard. She indeed had a lot to say. She wanted to ask him why he had tutored Ye Qingqiu, why he had let her into his room, and why he treated her differently.

But she didn’t dare.

Because she knew him, she knew that Li Tingshen never liked being questioned.

“You… are you here today to personally deliver homework to Ye Qingqiu?”

Li Tingshen was silent for a few seconds before speaking again, his voice cold and indifferent.

“Let go.”

Ye Qingqiu turned around and saw Liang Xuer holding Li Tingshen tightly. Her face darkened instantly.

She stopped and wanted to turn around, but Ye Jianyun pulled her closer.

“Qingqiu, stop fooling around.”

Ye Qingqiu suddenly looked up at Ye Jianyun. “Nonsense? Who allowed Liang Xuer to touch him?”

Ye Jianyun was helpless. “Qingqiu, they grew up together. In terms of feelings, you can’t compare to them. Why do you think he suddenly came here today?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and took two steps back. She looked up at Ye Jianyun and every word was clear.

“Isn’t it to send me homework? What else could it be?”

Ye Jianyun pursed her lips. “Let’s go back first.”

Ye Qingqiu flung his hand away and turned to stare at Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer. After a long while, she walked towards them with a cold expression.

Holding the bag in her arms, Ye Jianyun seemed very calm.

“Li Tingshen.”

Ye Qingqiu approached them. Li Tingshen and Liangxu were silent.

Li Tingshen looked at her and took two steps back before closing the car door.

Liang Xuer’s grip on his shirt missed.

“Why?” Li Tingshen asked calmly.

Ye Qingqiu looked up at Li Tingshen and took a deep breath before her lips curled into a faint smile.

“Did you suddenly come here today just to deliver my homework?”

Liang Xuer was stunned.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at her faint smile.

The hot wind blew her light skirt and her long hair was curled into a bun on her head. She looked clean and refreshing, and her beautiful and exquisite facial features could be seen clearly. Her skin was fair and tender as if it had been soaked in milk. The light spots that passed through the leaves landed on her body and swayed quietly with the wind. She was quiet and light, as if she would float away at any moment.

Li Tingshen watched silently as the smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face became more obvious. The breeze blew the hair on both sides of her face.

“What’s wrong? Is it that difficult to answer?”

“… In passing.”

There was still a smile in Ye Qingqiu’s eyes, but her eyes were filled with coldness. She was silent for a long time. Looking at the calm man, she raised an eyebrow.

“So what’s your main purpose for coming here today?”

Li Tingshen glanced at her before opening the car door again.

There was a loud bang.

The school bag in Ye Qingqiu’s arms hit the car door and happened to hit Li Tingshen’s hand that opened the door. There were a few exercise books and textbooks inside. The sound of the collision was enough to prove their weight. At this moment, the school bag fell to the ground, and the books inside were scattered all over the ground.

Liang Xuer took a step back in surprise.

When she regained her senses, she hurried forward to grab Li Tingshen’s hand.

“Brother Tingshen, are you alright?”

Ye Qingqiu’s expression froze for a moment. When she saw Liang Xuer’s actions, her face darkened again. She pulled Liang Xuer away and raised her other hand.

However, her wrist was grabbed in mid-air.

The force was very strong and Ye Qingqiu frowned immediately. The pain from her wrist instantly spread to all the nerves in her body and her scalp hurt.

She turned to look at Li Tingshen, her face pale.

Li Tingshen’s face darkened. This was the first time he saw a terrifying sharpness in his eyes. “What do you want?”

Ye Qingqiu suddenly felt as if something had stabbed her heart.

Ever since she met Li Tingshen, she had many unfamiliar feelings.

It was him who was happy. It was also him who didn’t want to eat or drink. The feeling just now was also him.

She didn’t want to attribute that feeling to sadness.

Ye Qingqiu had always been pampered by others.

If she was sad, what would happen to her grandfather and father? What would happen to everyone’s love for her?

So many people tried their best to please her and spoil her.

What did Li Tingshen do to make others’ efforts go to waste?

“What do you want to stop me from doing?”

She moved her hand and the pain became clearer. Her face paled.

“Let go of me.”

She was even holding her breath when she spoke.

Li Tingshen frowned and looked at her pale face before letting go.

Ye Qingqiu covered her wrist with her other hand as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

She glanced at Liang Xuer, who took two steps back and looked at her warily.

“Liang Xuer, if you’ve forgotten what I said on the first day I entered the Ye family, I might as well tell you again. Li Tingshen is my man. He is now and he will be in the future. Don’t play innocent with me. Even an eight or nine-year-old child knows what it means to be in a relationship and what it means to be married.

In the past, the two of you lived together, but now, I, Ye Qingqiu, have reserved his future life. So, it’s best for you to put yourself in your place. Don’t get close to other people’s men. I’ll give you a warning today. Next time, I’ll retaliate with interest.”

Liang Xuer looked at her in disbelief.

He raised his chin and declared his sovereignty over her.

Li Tingshen looked down at Ye Qingqiu’s slender back. How many people could say such things?

Only the spoiled princess of the Ye family, Ye Qingqiu, was so shameless and impudent.

“Who said I’m yours? Who are you to decide my life?”

Ye Qingqiu turned around and looked up at him. Her usual smile was gone.

“Li Tingshen, I’m very angry now. I suggest you stop going against me and making me angry.”

Her words were calm and she looked calm enough. She was so calm that she knew how to grasp her identity as the little princess of the Ye family. Her words were filled with arrogance.

Li Tingshen gave a sarcastic smile. “What are the consequences?”

Ye Qingqiu reached her hand out to him almost at the same time. “You pinched me just now.”

Li Tingshen lowered his eyes.

Her slender arm was fair and dazzling, and the redness on her wrist was obvious.

His brows twitched slightly, and he raised his hand before stuffing it back into his pocket.

Delicate.

“You just hurt me and made me angry. I’m very unhappy now. I’ll give you a chance to coax me.”

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. “You can be happy just because you hit someone?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked and retracted her arm. “So are you seeking justice for her now?”

“Your slap might be enough.”

Liang Xuer’s legs went soft and her arm was pressed against the car beside her.

Li Tingshen’s words sounded cold and emotionless, but what happened to her?

Why did he sound so doting?

Perhaps that slap would be enough?

So he was denying that he was seeking justice for her?

Or could it be that he had stopped her from slapping him because he didn’t want… their relationship to worsen?

He should…

She must have misunderstood.

Under such circumstances, anyone would think that Li Tingshen was protecting her…
