“So you agree?” Li Tingshen didn’t want to talk too much about this matter and concluded.
Ye Qingqiu’s voice was firm and clear. “Yes, I agree to marry you.”
Li Tingshen nodded and stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her chin. “Do you remember my phone number?”
“Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Although she looked like a spoiled young lady, her memory was impeccable.
!!
But that was only limited to what she wanted to remember.
She naturally remembered Li Tingshen’s phone number.
“Forget about everyone and everything that shouldn’t be in your mind.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “I don’t remember much.”
Li Tingshen’s fingers caressed her chin gently for a while. “I’ll accompany you for the next ten days to half a month, but it’s only this time. I won’t accept you hurting yourself in any sense. If you really do, go to the hospital yourself.”
“Anything? Can I really become a porcelain doll?”
“Yes, a porcelain doll.”
Stroking her smooth cheek, he responded casually.
The atmosphere was much better than before.
Even though her legs were almost crippled, Ye Qingqiu felt happier than ever.
Getting married…
What she had imagined in the past was about to become reality.
She had never imagined that he would be the first to speak. Even if he wanted to get married, she would be the one pestering him.
“You’re not feeling unwell? You’re not sleeping?”
Ye Qingqiu paused and shook her head.
“When are we getting married?”
“You’re still young. You can’t register for marriage.”
“Then let’s do it irregularly. Do you want to do it or do I have to get my father to do it?”
“I’ll do it,” Li Tingshen said calmly.
He was the one who proposed, so he naturally had to arrange the marriage.
“When can I?”
“After you recover.”
Ye Qingqiu paused for a while before taking out a notebook from the drawer and leaning against the headboard.
“In order to prevent you from denying it in the future, you’d better sign a guarantee.”
She flipped open the book as she spoke.
Not long after, she handed the notebook to Li Tingshen.
“X year, X month, X day, Mr. Li Tingshen proposed to Ms. Ye Qingqiu. With Ms. Ye Qingqiu’s agreement, the two of them decided to get married immediately after their injuries healed. This evidence is irrefutable.”
Then, he signed his name in the bottom right corner.
Li Tingshen glanced at the words and pursed his lips. “It’s only a few days. Since I’ve agreed, I won’t go back on my word.”
Ye Qingqiu stuffed the pen into his hand and said, “No, who knows what will happen in the future? Since you won’t go back on your word, signing your name isn’t a big deal to you, but it can reassure me.”
Li Tingshen seemed to be indulging her as he waved his hand and left his name behind Ye Qingqiu.
It was elegant and powerful.
Satisfied, Ye Qingqiu closed the notebook and placed it back into the drawer.

After Ye Qingqiu fell asleep, Li Tingshen went to look for Ye Jianyun.
“What did you say?” Ye Jianyun felt that he had heard wrongly.
“She has already agreed.”
Ye Jianyun took a deep breath.
“You’re still young and haven’t experienced much. Aren’t you afraid of regret?”
Li Ting’s deep eyes darkened as dusk fell outside the window. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
“I’m afraid. That’s why I want to get married immediately.”
Ye Jianyun stared at him silently for a long time. “I’m asking you what you’re afraid of?”
Li Tingshen lowered his gaze and his hands moved slightly.
“Do you love her?”
“She said that if they broke up, she would find another man to date, get married, and have children.”
Ye Jianyun’s lips twitched. “Yes, no matter how capable a woman is and how independent she is, she needs a man to accompany her and a family to rely on. Moreover, Qingqiu has never portrayed herself as a capable and independent person. If it’s not you, it must be someone else. Even if she doesn’t look for someone herself, I’ll help her find someone. She seems to do whatever she wants, but she’s still very obedient towards me.”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips tightly.
“So, did she step on your sore spot?”
“I don’t know. But she can’t be with other men no matter what.”
Ye Jianyun suddenly smiled.
He didn’t answer either question, but this unclear answer made him feel much better.
Li Tingshen roughly understood what he was laughing about.

Ye Qingqiu’s feet had been dislocated for more than 20 days, but ten days ago, she and Li Tingshen had already registered their marriage.
The wedding would be held two years later when she reached the legal age.
After all, the wedding was for the public. They couldn’t let the public gossip.
But even after marriage, her life had not changed.
Li Tingshen needed to prepare a wedding room, so he couldn’t be too stingy.
He had no intention of using the original apartment.
Ye Jianyun suggested that the two of them stay in the Qingqiu Villa that he had given Ye Qingqiu. Unsurprisingly, Li Tingshen rejected her.
He would pick her up and send her to school, and he would usually be the one to pick her up after school. If there were any special circumstances, he would get Xiao Chu to pick her up.
Xiao Chu had been the one picking her up for the past few days. When she saw him sitting in the driver’s seat after school today, she was surprised.
“Are you done with your work?”
“No, but it doesn’t mean that I have to finish my work today.” Li Tingshen wore a pair of silver-framed glasses and held the steering wheel with one hand. He watched as she fastened her seatbelt and his voice was as indifferent as usual.
He started the car and left.
“Li Tingshen, we’ve been married for three months. How long are we going to stay apart?”
Ye Qingqiu had endured for three months, but she couldn’t continue.
Li Tingshen’s eyes flickered and he turned to look at her. “…You want to live with me just like that? You’re only 18 years old. I don’t like to give up halfway.”
There was nothing wrong with his words, but she knew what he meant after some thought.
Ye Qingqiu’s face turned red.
When Li Tingshen saw her rosy cheeks, a low chuckle escaped his lips.
“What are you laughing at!”
When she wanted to see him smile, she felt that it was possible.
He could always make her feel even more ashamed when she shouldn’t be laughing.
Bad.
As the car drove, Ye Qingqiu realized that something was amiss.
“Isn’t this the way back to the Ye family? Where are we going?”
“We’ll know when we get there.”
Ye Qingqiu thought that he was bringing her out for dinner, but the further she walked, the more familiar she felt.
In the end, when she saw the entrance of the Qingqiu Villa that her father had given her, she asked again.
“Why are you here?”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything, but the car didn’t stop outside Qingqiu Villa. Instead, it passed by and stopped at an empty space.
