Chapter 2035: You can punish me however you want
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Of course you can’t bear to kiss me to death, but you misunderstood me just now. Mrs Li, this is your punishment.”
“Misunderstanding?” Ye Qingqiu’s blurry vision suddenly became clear. Looking at the man’s handsome face that was inches away from her, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. “You have to punish yourself for this misunderstanding. When you misunderstand me, shouldn’t I consider how to punish you?”
Li Tingshen’s handsome face was still smiling, but it seemed colder.
“Sure. You can punish me however you want.”
Ye Qingqiu tilted her head slightly and looked at him calmly and seriously.
!!
“Are you fearless? Do you think that since I like you so much, even if I punish you, it will be an insignificant punishment?”
Li Tingshen pinched her beautiful chin. “Then ask yourself, are you willing to give me a heavy punishment?”
Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows and reached out to caress his face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with desire.
“I can’t bear to.”
Li Tingshen saw the emotions in her eyes and his heart skipped a beat. His fingers caressed her smooth chin. “Do you like me that much?”
Ye Qingqiu replied calmly, “Yes.” Her hand on his face moved to his collar and fiddled with it. “But have you heard that love and hate are two extremes? The more someone loves you before, the more they hate you after that?”
There was an obvious coldness in Li Tingshen’s gentle smile, but Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darted around. Her eyes were filled with a charming and gentle smile. “But don’t worry, that day won’t come. If there really is… I won’t choose to hate you.”
Her nerves seemed to have been stung by a poisonous bee. Her dark eyes stared at Ye Qingqiu for a long time before she smiled faintly.
He let go of Ye Qingqiu’s chin and straightened his body. Ye Qingqiu had already unbuttoned two buttons on his collar and he took the opportunity to unbutton the rest.
“I’ll let you off tonight, so it’s still early. Wait for me obediently.”
He turned, then paused. “If you don’t listen, I’ll wake you up my way.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to know how he woke him up.
Hence, when Li Tingshen came out of the shower, Ye Qingqiu was playing games.
She glanced at him before returning her gaze to the game that had yet to end.
Li Tingshen got into bed and snatched her phone away.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much of a reaction. “What do you want to tell me?”
“Yes, come to the company with me tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, he tapped on her phone.
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “I don’t know anything. Why would I go to the company?”
“If you knew anything, you wouldn’t have to follow me to the company so early in the morning.”
“You have to go?”
“Aren’t you filial? Do you think your father is looking for trouble by asking you to learn more?”
Ye Qingqiu frowned, still resisting.
“Whether it’s your current life or your future, you can only rely on the Ye Corporation. Your father won’t always manage the Ye Corporation. If one day, those shareholders take advantage of the situation and swallow you step by step, emptying the entire Ye Corporation, you won’t even be able to cry. Don’t be so naive and think that everyone around you is a kind and harmless person.”
“You too?”
“Including me.”
Ye Qingqiu fell silent.
“The Ye Corporation is mine and isn’t it yours too? What’s there to fight for?”
“I can only feel at ease when I have everything in my hands.”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him quietly. “What are you worried about? Do you think that I will leave you one day? Or do you want to dump me one day without any scruples?”
Li Tingshen’s fingers suddenly paused.
Turning his head, his dark eyes were bottomless.
His voice was deep and cold.
“It sounds like you’re very sure that the man you like seems to be a man who has abandoned you.”
“I’m just saying. But other than these two reasons, are there other factors?”
Li Tingshen’s expression did not improve and he did not speak.
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darted around and the darkness in her eyes turned into a faint smile.
“So be it. I’m not insisting that you are. Actually, compared to your unhappiness, you should reflect on why I have such uncomfortable suspicions.”
Li Tingshen handed her his phone. “I’ve downloaded the documents in your email. Read as much as you can before you sleep. If you don’t understand anything, ask me tomorrow.”
Ye Qingqiu took the phone. He had downloaded the document for her just now. The dense documents dazzled her.
“What are you doing?”
Li Tingshen glanced at her before getting off the bed.
“I’m not happy now and I need to reflect on myself. Naturally, I can’t affect your mood by staying by your side.”
Ye Qingqiu watched quietly as he got up and walked out with a jacket.
He didn’t look good.
Ye Qingqiu knew very well that this man was throwing a tantrum at her.
*
Li Tingshen stayed in the study for two hours.
At nearly eleven o’clock at night, he got up. His expression was even uglier than before.
When she returned to the bedroom, the lights had already dimmed, leaving only the night light by the bed. When she saw that the woman on the bed had fallen asleep with her phone, the anger in her chest increased.
What a heartless woman.
He walked over and lifted the blanket to lie down. He took the phone out of her hand and glanced at the documents that she had yet to return.
It was the same letter he had opened for her before he left.
Looking at her sleeping face, he sneered.
No wonder Ye Jianyun was in a hurry to find a man she could rely on.
If she was sold, she might really help others count the money.
She threw her phone aside and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly. With a cold face, she reached out and pulled her into her embrace.
Ye Qingqiu was used to the man’s embrace and scent. She adjusted her posture in his embrace and climbed onto his waist in a daze.
“Are you done throwing a tantrum?”
For a moment, Li Tingshen wanted to wake her up. It would be best if she didn’t sleep tonight.
However, the woman didn’t say anything after that. It would be too pretentious of him to pursue the matter.
*
He was not pretentious. The next morning, he kissed Ye Qingqiu awake.
Even when she was in school, Ye Qingqiu had never woken up so early. She already had a bad temper when she woke up. Now that her breath had been taken away, she was even more furious.
She pushed Li Tingshen away and kicked him twice.
“He’s crazy!”
Li Tingshen got up from the bed with an annoying smile. “Get up and wash up. We’re going to the office.”
“No! Whoever wants to go can go!”
Ye Qingqiu pulled the blanket over her head.
“Show your head.”
Li Tingshen’s voice sounded serious.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t move.
“Do you want me to do it myself?”
After a while, Ye Qingqiu lifted the blanket and sat up. She picked up his pillow and threw it at him.
However, she had just woken up and couldn’t throw a pillow.
Li Tingshen stood so close that the pillow landed on his body.
“So annoying, I’m not going to the company!”
Li Tingshen bent down to pick up the pillow and placed it on the bed. “I’m going to wash up. Since I didn’t see you wake up, I’ll carry you to the washroom. If you don’t want to be woken up by me again, go back to sleep.”
Ye Qingqiu gritted her teeth in anger.
When Li Tingshen turned around, his lips curled into a smile.
If she was woken up again, she was afraid that she would kill Li Tingshen.
She lifted the blanket with a cold face and went straight to the washroom. Li Tingshen was squeezing toothpaste and looking at the gloomy woman in the mirror.
His slender eyebrows moved slightly and he moved to the side.
Ye Qingqiu walked over and took out her toothbrush. Li Tingshen squeezed the toothpaste onto it.
She looked into the mirror and Li Tingshen placed the toothpaste aside naturally.
She retracted her gaze and stuffed the toothbrush into her mouth.
It wasn’t like she had no hands. It was as if she needed him to squeeze her.
The white foam blocked the curve of her lips.
After breakfast, she went to the Ye Corporation with Li Tingshen.
“How many documents did you read last night?” Li Tingshen pretended not to know anything.
“Two pages.”
“…”
“So why did I come to the company?”
Li Tingshen smiled but didn’t answer.
When they arrived at the company, Ye Qingqiu looked at the new set of tables and chairs in the corner of his office and suddenly understood why he didn’t mention to her about coming to the company yesterday.
It turned out that he had made preparations in advance and was waiting for her to carry her gun today.
“…”
“There’s a document in the computer. You can sit there and continue reading.”
Ye Qingqiu turned her face away. “The computer has radiation.”
Li Tingshen seemed to have guessed that she would use such a reason to reject him. He said calmly, “There’s a printout over there.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
She felt that even if she found another reason, Li Tingshen would be able to resolve it easily.
In the end, she walked over reluctantly. There was indeed a pile of folders in the corner of the table.
“If you don’t understand, mark it and ask me.”
“What are you doing?”
“To a meeting at C&P.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “You’re leaving me here alone?”
“A wolf wants to eat you?”
“…”
“Be good and watch. I’ll be back before noon.”
Ye Qingqiu wanted to say something, but she held back.
“Go ahead.”
Li Tingshen glanced at her before leaving the office.
Her eyes were sparkling just now and she looked smart and cunning. It was obvious that she would be restless.
What else could she do in the office?
After Li Tingshen left, Ye Qingqiu read the document seriously.
The pen in her hand didn’t stop marking.
In less than half an hour, Ye Qingqiu threw the pen aside and took out her phone.
About forty minutes later, she got up and left the office.
After about half an hour, she walked to Li Tingshen’s desk and sat down. She opened the drawer and took a look before fiddling with the ornaments on the table.
Then, she picked up the pen on the table and took out a black leather notebook from the drawer.
Then, she took out her phone and started playing.
After taking one last look at the time, she returned to her seat and picked up the document again.
As expected, Li Tingshen returned before noon.
Ye Qingqiu sat on the spot like a good student.
Li Tingshen walked over. “How much did you see?”
“Because it’s the first contact, it’s more difficult to understand and the progress is slower. It’s the third document.”
“You’re feeling quite proud after reading three documents in the morning?”
This was blatant sarcasm.
Ye Qingqiu was triggered. “CEO Li, it’s already good enough that I can sit here.”
Li Tingshen walked to the desk and looked at the black leather book she had taken out. He flipped it open casually and saw her graffiti.
She hadn’t learned painting for nothing. The cartoon portraits were indeed like that.
And his name. His name.
Her handwriting was different from that of a bad student. Her beautiful handwriting was self-contained, and every stroke showed confidence and flamboyance.
Ye Qingqiu also saw the traces of her crime. Her face froze for a moment before she regained her composure.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and took a deep breath. “Is there anything you don’t understand?”
“Yes.”
“Bring it over for me to see.”
Ye Qingqiu put the document aside.
Li Tingshen looked at her.
She said matter-of-factly, “I’m hungry.”
Li Tingshen frowned and sat on the chair.
“I’m preparing. Come here first.”
Already preparing?
There was nothing else to say.
However, she reluctantly took the document and went over.
Before she could reach him, she was pulled into Li Tingshen’s embrace.
“What are you doing? We’re in the office.” Ye Qingqiu leaned back and looked at him warily.
“Ye Qingqiu.” He gripped her waist tightly and said in a low voice, “Who is the one who is fearless, huh?”
“What?”
Li Tingshen snorted lightly. “Back then, you tried all sorts of ways to get me to tutor you. You were obedient and respectful. Now, you can’t even be bothered to hide your impatience and your perfunctory attitude. Aren’t you fearless?”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Respectful? I have ulterior motives.”
Li Tingshen didn’t have any other reaction. “So you can’t be bothered with me now?”
“With our current relationship, it’s time for us to cheat on you, CEO Li.”
Li Tingshen was speechless.
Ye Qingqiu smiled. “What’s for lunch?”
“Don’t worry, it will definitely suit your taste.”
Li Tingshen pushed her away and leaned back in his chair. He turned around to face the computer and grabbed the mouse.
There was no warmth in her voice and her face.
Ye Qingqiu stood at the side and looked at him—
This man was angry again.
Xiao Chu went to the restaurant to buy lunch. It was indeed Ye Qingqiu’s taste.
However, Li Tingshen didn’t seem to have any intention of eating with her.
“You’re not eating?”
The rhythmic tapping of the keyboard was mixed with the words “I have no appetite”.
Her attitude was extremely cold.
The entire office was filled with the feeling that he was unhappy.
“You’re letting me eat alone?” She pointed at the dishes on the table and frowned at the man who didn’t even look at her.
“If you can’t finish it, leave it. No one says that you have to finish it.”
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes and snorted. “Then sleep alone tonight.”
Li Tingshen looked up at her coldly.
She bent down and sat on the sofa. She picked up the exquisitely wrapped wooden chopsticks and said calmly, “No one stipulated that we have to sleep together every night. If we can’t sleep, we’ll sleep later.”
Li Tingshen’s handsome face darkened. “When are you going to stop throwing a tantrum?”
Ye Qingqiu asked innocently, “Aren’t you the one throwing a tantrum?”
“… Are you sure you want to go against me?”
Ye Qingqiu tightened her grip on her chopsticks.
“Then you eat.”
Li Tingshen stared at her.
“If you eat with me, I’ll sleep with you.”
Li Tingshen was speechless.
*
In the afternoon, Li Tingshen stayed in the office after two meetings.
It wasn’t convenient for Ye Qingqiu to slack off under Li Tingshen’s watch.
Moreover, he took turns to call the heads of the various departments to the office to summarize and report their progress. The atmosphere in the office had always been tense and tense. She was the daughter of the Ye family, known by the entire Ye Corporation. Even if she was just trying to gain some face for her father, she couldn’t be fooled.
As it was almost time to get off work, most of Ye Qingqiu’s attention was attracted by the words of the department heads. Her mind was filled with their trembling and respectful attitude and every word.
She didn’t read much of the document, but Li Tingshen didn’t say anything.
“Go downstairs and sit for a while. Mom is shopping nearby. We’ll send her home later.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Then I’ll tell my father…”
“No need. I’ve already said it.”
Ye Qingqiu nodded and sat at the door to put on her coat.
The two of them went downstairs together.
