Chapter 2007: Getting Angry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Qingqiu frowned and glanced at her arm. “In order to throw a tantrum and hurt myself? What do I want?”
Li Tingshen reached out to hold her hand and looked at the obvious red dots on her wrist.
“Why did you suddenly think of cooking? Don’t you know your own worth?”
Ye Qingqiu retracted her hand. “Is it wrong to want to cook for you?”
Li Tingshen stood up, took the medicine box and sat beside her.
!!
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“I don’t like scars.” Li Tingshen grabbed her hand and carefully applied the medicine on it.
“The medical kit isn’t that full. Think about it, why is that? Hmm?”
Other than some conventional emergency medicine, almost everything else belonged to Ye Qingqiu.
There were wounds of all sizes every few days.
Ye Qingqiu looked at his gentle actions and pursed her lips. “Nothing is certain. It’s probably because I lived too comfortably when I was young, so you have to return it to me slowly.”
“If you were more obedient, so many things wouldn’t have happened.”
“Be obedient?” Ye Qingqiu suddenly chuckled. “What should I do for you to be obedient?”
Her laughter made Li Tingshen realize that something was amiss.
He looked up at her and met Ye Qingqiu’s smiling eyes.
“I feel that I’m much more well-behaved than before. Do you think it’s reasonable or did you not notice it at all?”
For the sake of you, I’ll tolerate and give in to you. I don’t think any woman would be as obedient as me. But who asked me to insist on liking you?
Li Tingshen frowned and lowered his head to treat her last burn before putting the box away.
“Tell me, who made you unhappy today?”
Ye Qingqiu looked at her wound and said calmly, “The others don’t have the ability yet.”
“Then it’s me.”
Ye Qingqiu couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush and asked directly, “What’s the name of the drama you’ve invested in recently?”
Li Tingshen frowned.
“I’ve checked online. There are a few shows that are heavily promoted, but they’re all about to be broadcasted. The remaining one is almost a household name before filming even starts. Is the yours?”
“You’ve never been interested in these things. Why did you suddenly mention this?”
“I’m just suddenly interested. Isn’t it normal for me to be interested in things related to you?” Ye Qingqiu had always been calm. Be it her thoughts or actions, she had never hidden her feelings for Li Tingshen.
“It’s mine.” Li Tingshen didn’t hide it.
“So as the only investor, the C&P Media is yours.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingqiu smiled. It was as she had expected.
“Your company has signed an artist?”
“Not yet.”
“You’re keeping a mistress?”
Li Tingshen looked at her coldly. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be so sarcastic and let me guess.”
The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face gradually disappeared. “I’ve only said a few words and you’re already acting so impatient? You’re so sarcastic… Li Tingshen, there are some things that I don’t want to tell you. I’m the one who’s trying to save you some face. Of course, I don’t want the atmosphere between us to be too tense.”
“Since you can’t guess why I’m being so sarcastic, please discover the reason as soon as possible. Then, give me a reasonable explanation and a satisfactory result. I can’t wait too long… One day, two days, or three days.”
With that, she stood up and glanced at the dishes on the table. She reached for them and poured them into the trash can.
“Since you find it hard to swallow, don’t force yourself. You’re not good at cooking. If you get a stomachache, my heart will ache for you. You can cook the noodles yourself.”
As she spoke, she had already picked up the second dish.
Her wrist was grabbed.
Li Tingshen’s cold voice sounded, like water that had frozen, without any fluctuations.
“Put it down.” He looked up at her. His dark eyes seemed to be covered in a thin layer of ice. “Did I say I wasn’t eating?”
Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu immediately let go of her hand and the half-empty plate landed on the dining table. “Do as you wish.”
Li Tingshen looked at the oil stains on the table and pursed his lips before letting go of her hand.
She picked up her chopsticks and placed the food back into her mouth.
“If you’re not very hungry now, I’ll cook something for you after I’m done eating.”
“I won’t even be hungry tonight.”
Ye Qingqiu rubbed her wrist and walked out of the dining room.
Watching her disappear, Li Tingshen finished all the dishes on the plate and went into the kitchen.
It was a mess.
It was as if they had fought a war.
There were two broken plates and fried vegetables in the trash can. The entire trash can was full.
There were footprints on the ground. Water and oil mixed together. Vegetables and vegetables landed on it. It was even more unbearable than the dishes.
She placed the bowls and chopsticks in the sink and turned around to cut the vegetables and cook the noodles.
In the middle, he called Xiao Chu.
“Find out where Ye Qingqiu went today and what happened.”
Xiao Chu paused and hesitated. “CEO Li, I have something to attend to at home tonight. Can I give you the results tomorrow?”
“Yeah.”
Ye Qingqiu lay on the bed and swiped her phone. She was in a bad mood and needed to divert her attention.
The door opened and a slender man walked in.
“Let’s go eat.”
Ye Qingqiu looked up and said, “I said I’m not hungry.”
Li Tingshen walked to her side and lifted her blanket, as if her words had not reached his ears.
“Let’s go eat.”
Ye Qingqiu felt a chill and put her phone aside. “So my words have no meaning at all?”
“You chose to starve to spite me. Do you think that’s meaningful?”
“It’s not up to me to decide if it’s meaningful or not. It’s probably because I’m too angry and have no appetite now. If you force me to eat, I’ll only feel worse. I don’t have a tendency to torture myself. When I’m hungry, I’ll naturally find a way to fill my stomach.”
Ye Qingqiu knew that her words would only make Li Tingshen more dissatisfied and impatient. In the end, she took a step back.
“So keep it warm first. I’ll go eat later.”
Li Tingshen stared at her for a while before leaving the bedroom silently.
Ye Qingqiu wasn’t in the mood to play with her phone anymore.
After adjusting himself for a long time, he was ruined by Li Tingshen.
Half an hour later, Li Tingshen returned with a bathrobe. When he walked to the bathroom, he stopped in front of her and looked down at her.
“I’m going to take a shower. I hope you can go out and eat the noodles after I go in.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t respond, but after Li Tingshen entered the bathroom, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
The kitchen was almost brand new and the dining room was clean.
A bowl of noodles was steaming on the dining table.
No matter how she heard it, the word “best” sounded like an ultimatum and a threat. Now, she thought that she had misunderstood.
The noodles didn’t look like they had been cooked half an hour ago.
Hence, his “best” should be to pour away the noodles he had cooked in the past and cook a new one for her. It was best to eat it while it was hot.
Ye Qingqiu sat down and picked up a piece with her chopsticks.
It was his handiwork.
She didn’t know if she was that easy to coax or if his methods were too superb.
In short, the resentment she had accumulated previously had dissipated a lot.
She had never finished an entire bowl of noodles.
Li Tingshen knew her appetite, but it was always filled with noodles.
She wouldn’t eat it just because it was made by Li Tingshen.
As usual, she only finished half of the noodles.
When she returned to her room, Li Tingshen had already come out of the bathroom.
“I didn’t wash the dishes.”
Ye Qingqiu went into the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Li Tingshen left the bedroom.
When she returned, Ye Qingqiu was already lying on the bed.
He lifted the blanket and laid down. Ye Qingqiu didn’t burrow into his embrace like before.
It was impossible for Ye Qingqiu to fall asleep like this. She had noticed Li Tingshen’s every move. Perhaps sleeping together for a few nights had become a habit. She was no longer as reserved and agitated as before. Now, she took everything for granted.
Habit was such a scary thing.
Her back was facing him. Just as this thought flashed across her mind, a force landed on her shoulder.
In the next moment, she was pulled into a familiar embrace.
“I don’t think it’s wise to waste time on external factors that have nothing to do with you and me.”
Ye Qingqiu thought about it and agreed.
She was only trying to get an explanation for Luo Luo and for an unknown actress whom Li Tingshen thought highly of.
It was indeed unwise to affect her harmonious relationship with Li Tingshen.
They had argued and eaten. It was just a matter of pride now.
“Yeah.”
She approved and adjusted into a comfortable position, snuggling against him.
She lay on the open collar of his pajamas, her warm and gentle breath on his skin, disturbing him.
There was only one night light in the bedroom. It was quiet.
Li Tingshen’s breathing became heavier and heavier, as if a suppressed voice was making him impatient.
“Ye Qingqiu.”
Finally, Li Tingshen broke the silence.
Ye Qingqiu nodded lazily as a response.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no response. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him.
“What’s the matter?”
“Your breathing is a little annoying.”
Ye Qingqiu paused for a moment before waking up.
“I’m sorry for disturbing you with my breathing…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was completely blocked.
With the help of the night light, Li Tingshen found her lips and kissed them passionately.
Ye Qingqiu’s anger was interrupted. When she was kissed, she realized that her breath had seduced him.
Just as she convinced herself, Li Tingshen suddenly turned around and pinned her down.
Every kiss made her feel like he wanted to swallow her whole.
It was only when her pajamas were removed and her lips became hotter and more precise that Ye Qingqiu realized Li Tingshen’s intentions.
“You…”
“It won’t hurt much this time.”
As if he knew what she wanted to say, Li Tingshen’s low and hoarse voice interrupted her, but his kisses and teasing didn’t stop.
…
As he had said, it was indeed not as painful as the last time.
Although it hurt this time, it was nothing compared to the last time.
After that, she couldn’t even feel the pain and discomfort anymore.
What followed was him forcefully leading her to indulge, as if he wanted to take revenge on her. Each time, he was stronger and more ruthless.
Several times, an extreme feeling of near-collapse surged to the tips of her nerves.
“Li Tingshen…”
She whined and begged for mercy, but it seemed to be useless.
Later on, she seemed to be able to feel Li Tingshen’s gentle kiss and his low and hoarse voice, but she couldn’t resist the fatigue.
When she woke up again, Li Tingshen was gone.
Looking at the glaring light on the curtains, she knew that it was getting late. Li Tingshen must have gone to the company.
She wanted to grab her phone, but the pain from her body made her eyes widen. Everything that happened last night flooded her mind.
She really did it with Li Tingshen.
Completely and thoroughly.
She vaguely remembered that she had rejected Li Tingshen’s suggestion to help her shower last night. Now… she had no choice but to go to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she felt refreshed. She looked at the time and saw that it was past ten.
She could probably make it in time.

On the set of the .
The entertainment industry had connections everywhere. Perhaps ordinary people might not know who Ye Qingqiu was, but it was impossible for some people in the industry not to know her.
Everyone in the production team knew that the only investor for this drama was the media, but they didn’t know about Li Tingshen.
Therefore, when Ye Qingqiu appeared in the production team, the others were not being polite to her because of their only investor.
