Chapter 1989: Don’t Worry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An hour later, peace returned to the office.
Li Tingshen found a private doctor to sedate Lian Lili.
Lian Lili was resting in the lounge.
“Madam has rarely fallen ill in recent years. You’ve always been careful in this aspect. Why today…”
Li Tingshen’s expression was cold.
!!
Seeing that he didn’t speak and didn’t look too good, the doctor reminded him carefully.
“Try not to agitate her again. Try not to go against her wishes. Haven’t you been doing well all these years…”
Li Tingshen stood by the bed in the lounge and stared silently at Lian Lili’s pale face.
The doctor called out to him in confusion, “Young Master Li…”
Li Tingshen slowly retracted his gaze and fell silent for a few seconds before saying calmly, “…Got it.”
Walking out of the lounge, Li Tingshen walked to his desk and opened a drawer. He picked up a cigarette and lit it. Then, he picked up his phone and walked to the window.
The office was silent. The figure by the window stood upright as if it had taken root. Occasionally, faint smoke would rise from that direction before disappearing silently.
He spun the phone in his hand for a long time before continuing.
When the cigarette was finished, he turned around and pressed the butt into the crystal ashtray on his desk.
She looked at her phone again and finally unlocked it.
Ye Qingqiu’s fever had subsided and she seemed to be in good spirits after waking up and having breakfast.
Old Master and Ye Jianyun had breakfast with her. Seeing her like this, they felt much more relieved.
“School is starting soon. Do you have anything to prepare? If you don’t want to move, I’ll get someone to prepare it for you,” said Ye Jianyun.
“Oh…” Ye Qingqiu thought for a while. “Oh… clothes and shoes? Why don’t I go to the stationery shop later and pick a few beautiful pens and books?”
All these years, she didn’t remember going to a stationery store.
“Okay, I’ll accompany you later.”
Ye Qingqiu placed the porridge in her mouth. When she heard Ye Jianyun’s words, she paused slightly. Her beautiful eyes darted around before she nodded.
“Okay.”
After breakfast, Ye Qingqiu went upstairs to change. Halfway through, her phone rang.
It was Li Tingshen.
Without hesitation, she picked it up.
“Hey.”
Li Tingshen didn’t expect her to pick up so quickly and there was a long silence.
“Did you call the wrong number?” Ye Qingqiu glanced at the screen. It was indeed him.
Li Tingshen spoke slowly in a low voice, “I thought you were still sleeping.”
Ye Qingqiu laughed angrily. “So you deliberately picked the time when I was sleeping to harass me?”
“… If you don’t answer, I won’t call again.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “What are you talking about?”
“Has your fever subsided? You sound fine.”
“Yes, do I have to burn for a few days?”
The other party was silent for a few more seconds. “…Where’s your leg? Is it healed?”
This time, Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything.
Li Tingshen was also silent.
After a long while, Ye Qingqiu spoke first, “Li Tingshen, what are you trying to say? When did you become so long-winded? Am I born with the ability to heal quickly? It hasn’t even been 12 hours and the wound has completely healed?”
Now that she had something to say, she could be so aggressive.
“Since you don’t have it, rest well. We’ll talk about it after you recover.”
Ye Qingqiu suddenly paused and tightened her grip on her phone. After about ten seconds, she hung up.
She was only wearing a pair of jeans. Other than her bra, there was nothing else. Her T-shirt was on the bed beside her. She put it on numbly and sat down.
She seemed to understand some things, but she wasn’t sure.
She wanted to ask, but she was rejected nervously.
She was afraid that she would hear the last thing she wanted to hear.
After sitting on the bed for more than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.
“Miss, there’s a guest at home. Master wants you to leave.”
There was no response from the servant. “… Miss? Are you there?”
After a while, the door opened and Ye Qingqiu walked out.
“What does that have to do with me?”
The servant shook her head.
Ye Qingqiu went downstairs.
A young and handsome man sat in the living room. Just from his appearance and temperament, one could tell that he was not an ordinary young master.
When he saw her, he stood up. His lips were thin and he should be a cold person, but there was a smile on his lips.
There was a hint of gentleness in the distance.
However, that gentleness was as hypocritical as it could be.
“Hello, Miss Ye. I’m the person in charge of the Pei family’s hotel. I’m sorry for what happened last night.”
Ye Qingqiu understood that someone from the hotel had come to apologize.
She pursed her lips and walked to his side. She looked up at the handsome young man opposite her with undisguised impudence.
“You’re the person-in-charge of the Pei family’s hotel? You’re not much older than me, right? How did you become the famous person-in-charge of the Pei family’s hotel?”
The man quietly distanced himself from her and smiled calmly. “I relied on my father’s husband.”
Ye Qingqiu rolled her eyes and came to a realization. “So it’s the young master of the Pei family. No wonder.”
Pei Yunze agreed tacitly. “Although the matter has already happened and the harm you suffered can’t be salvaged, I think it’s still necessary for me to apologize to you in person. I don’t know what we need to do to make it up to Princess Ye.”
The words ‘Little Princess Ye’ symbolized wealth.
She didn’t lack anything, so she was the most troublesome.
“What should I do?” Ye Qingqiu tilted her head and thought for a while. In the end, she smiled at Pei Yunze. “Do you have a girlfriend?”
Pei Yunze smiled faintly. “No.”
“Alright then.” Ye Qingqiu raised her chin and smiled. “School will start in three days. Accompany me for the next three days.”
Pei Yunze paused. “Aren’t you afraid that your boyfriend will be jealous?”
“Are you not going to accompany me because you’re jealous? Are you apologizing to him or me?”
Pei Yunze smiled coldly. “I don’t think I have to apologize.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Do you agree or not?”
“Okay. Then accompany me to shop now.”
Ye Jianyun said, “Qingqiu, enough is enough.”
“Got it. Who would dare to offend Young Master Pei?”
After leaving the house, Pei Yunze personally opened the door for Ye Qingqiu. The chauffeur was angered by him and got into the driver’s seat.
“This car smells like disinfectant,” Ye Qingqiu complained.
“I’m sorry.” Without saying anything, Pei Yunze started the car.
The two of them didn’t have much to say on the way. When the car drove out of the Ye residence, Pei Yunze broke the awkwardness.
“You didn’t look well when you came downstairs. I heard from your father that your fever has subsided.”
Ye Qingqiu leaned lazily against the back of the chair and looked at the parasol leaves on both sides of the road.
“Yes… I just received a call that I shouldn’t have answered.”
This sounded like a story, but Pei Yunze didn’t ask further.
“I don’t know much about Ping Cheng City, so do you have a destination today?”
“Let’s go to the stationery store.”
Pei Yunze turned to look at her. “Which grade are you in?”
“University? Is there a problem?”
“No problem.”
After driving for a while, Ye Qingqiu suddenly said, “Let’s go to the phone shop first.”
“Okay.”
Ye Qingqiu took the latest phone and changed her number.
Then, he took out her original phone. “Are you going to recycle it?”
The salesperson glanced at the new phone and said, “Yes.”
“Oh.”
Pei Yunze watched Ye Qingqiu’s actions quietly without commenting.
Pei Yunze thought that shopping with a woman was the most exhausting thing.
However, it seemed that the woman beside him was even more impatient than him.
In less than ten minutes, she picked a few pens and notebooks before walking out.
“I’m tired. Let’s find a place to sit for a while.”
Pei Yunze was speechless.
After leaving the cafe, she entered the restaurant.
It took thirty minutes to drive to the city, ten minutes to buy a phone, and ten minutes to buy stationery. The rest of the time was spent in the cafe and the restaurant.
After estimating Ye Qingqiu’s combat power, Pei Yunze thought that it wouldn’t be difficult to meet the requirements for this mission. However, after lunch, Ye Qingqiu seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and spent three hours shopping.
Pei Yunze’s face darkened.
Ye Qingqiu’s expression wasn’t any better.

The Qin family’s business was in the entertainment industry. Now that something had happened, its popularity soared and there were waves.
Now, it wasn’t just the artistes under them who were getting restless. Everyone had left before the calamity.
Even the script that they held in their hands had other shareholders who were afraid that it would rot in their hands and wanted to throw it out as soon as possible. The directors and producers kept an eye on it and used public opinion and the momentum of resisting the Qin Corporation to exert pressure.
In just three days, Qin Shi finally threw out the most important scripts she had.
Everyone was watching the scripts closely, but no one was a fool. If he abandoned them, they had to buy them immediately.
After a few days, the Qin Corporation would definitely lower the price.
However, before they could buy it at a low price, a few high-quality scripts were bought by others.
As for who it was, he wasn’t sure. He only knew that it was bought by an unknown media company.
When the news came out, everyone was puzzled. Who was the company that suddenly appeared? Ye Qingqiu stared at the unfamiliar word on the Internet and pursed her lips.
Who was it?
He had planned all of this. How could he give anyone else a chance?
However, he was really capable. She knew that he had a motive and had heard that he was in the film industry. However, she did not expect him to really create a company and get a few high-quality scripts.
Although she didn’t know what was going on, she knew that the film industry was definitely profitable.
With high quality, a stable team, and sufficient publicity, success was inevitable.
Seeing how generous Li Tingshen was and his understanding of him, the script in his hands could not be underestimated.
After planning for so long, he was determined to gain a foothold in the film industry.
This boldness was still the man she liked.
Pei Yunze arrived at the Ye residence at ten in the morning.
The first day, at the stationery store.
The next day, at the supermarket.
On the third day, Pei Yunze asked directly, “Which mall are we going to today?”
“Yes… Let’s not go to the mall today. I’m tired of looking at those clothes and shoes… Let’s go to the amusement park. I’ve never been to an amusement park before.”
Pei Yunze frowned and looked down at her feet. “Are you sure you want to go?”
“Of course.”
At four in the afternoon, Pei Yunze carried Ye Qingqiu back to the Ye residence.
Ye Qingqiu’s pale face shocked the servant who opened the door.
“Miss, what’s wrong?”
The few people in the living room stood up when they heard that.
Pei Yunze carried Ye Qingqiu in and their gazes met.
Although it was just a quick glance, the man’s sharp and deep eyes left a deep impression.
Ye Jianyun took a few steps forward. “What’s wrong… What’s wrong?”
Why were there so many things recently?
Pei Yunze’s face was cold and his tone was tense. “She injured her leg at the amusement park and refused to go to the hospital.”
“This…” Ye Jianyun was at a loss for words. When he reacted, he hurriedly asked Uncle Ye to contact the doctor.
“The second room on the right on the second floor. If you think you can hold on, I don’t mind you hugging me for a while.”
Ye Qingqiu, who had been frowning, suddenly spoke.
Li Tingshen, who had just walked over, stopped in his tracks.
Pei Yunze glanced at her before carrying her upstairs.
Ye Jianyun hurriedly followed.
After placing Ye Qingqiu on the bed, Pei Yunze’s face darkened and he brushed his clothes, causing Ye Qingqiu to roll her eyes.
“Alright, I’ll accept your apology. Let’s go.”
Pei Yunze looked at her for a while before he suddenly went forward and lifted her pants.
Ye Qingqiu hurriedly shrank back. “What are you doing?”
Pei Yunze saw blood seeping out of the edge of her sock. He looked up at her and asked, “Are you masochistic again?”
Ye Jianyun walked in and Ye Qingqiu caught a glimpse of the figure behind him.
She retracted her foot.
Pei Yunze retracted his hand and took a wet tissue from Ye Qingqiu’s bedside table.
As she wiped her hands, she said, “I was the one who brought you to the amusement park. I’m also responsible for your injuries. It’s not appropriate for you to leave now.”
“Your mission is completed.”
Pei Yunze paused and stared at her with a faint smile. “Who said I’m completing a mission now? I just want to see you, okay?”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him in surprise.
Pei Yunze raised an eyebrow and glanced at her feet. He took a step forward and threw the wet tissue aside.
“Let me help you take off your shoes first.”
As she spoke, she reached for Ye Qingqiu’s hand.
Halfway there, another hand reached out.
Looking up, she saw Li Tingshen’s cold face.
“There’s no need for Young Master Pei to worry.”
