He briefly informed the Old Master and Ye Jianyun.

Both of them were focused on Ye Qingqiu.

The old man couldn’t help but feel pity for Li Tingshen.

“This girl has never been injured since she was young. She caused such a huge commotion just a few days before the new year! Tingshen, you…”

“Grandpa.” Ye Qingqiu suddenly said, “It has nothing to do with him. I was disobedient.”

Old Master glared at her and said, “Can’t I say it?”

Ye Qingqiu sniffled and said, “I’m in so much pain now. If scolding him can stop my pain, I don’t mind scolding him more…”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll stop talking…”

Before he could finish his sentence, she had to stop him.

Couldn’t he tell what she was trying to do?

Li Tingshen looked at Ye Qingqiu calmly. Although her hair was a little messy, her hair was still beautiful. The scene of her suddenly running from behind to shield him at the annual meeting flashed across his eyes.

It was completely unexpected.

Thinking back, she was shocked and furious.

Before his emotions could dissipate, the doctor’s voice sounded.

She disrupted her thoughts and listened carefully to the doctor before walking to Ye Qingqiu.

He bent down to look at her. Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were red and her lips were pursed. She looked even more pitiful and aggrieved. Then, she raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck.

He reached across the bend of her legs and lifted her from the chair.

This tacit understanding calmed the hearts of the two elders.

Xiao Chu drove Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen back to the Ye residence.

Ye Qingqiu needed someone to take care of her, so returning to the Ye family was the best choice.

Moreover, she had never said that she wanted to leave the Ye family.

During the rare break after the annual meeting, Li Tingshen stayed at the Ye residence to accompany Ye Qingqiu.

Whenever Ye Qingqiu needed to do something, Li Tingshen would carry her closely.

Other than the daily care of the servants, Li Tingshen did an impeccable job.

Ye Qingqiu was both happy and worried at the same time…

Li Tingshen carried Ye Qingqiu out of the washroom and placed her on the bed. The doctor was already waiting at the door.

During the process of bandaging, no matter how careful the doctor was, he could not avoid contact. As long as there was a slight deviation in strength, Ye Qingqiu would gasp.

Immediately after, the silent man emitted a dark aura.

It was the simplest bandage, but he felt more nervous and strained than performing a surgery.

Li Tingshen would definitely be implicated if he sat with Ye Jianyun for more than five minutes.

Ye Qingqiu was bored alone in the bedroom and asked Li Tingshen to bring her everywhere.

Even if she had to go to the living room or the study.

Hence, she participated in almost everything they talked about.

Ye Qingqiu had heard them mention the manufacturing problem of the Ye Corporation.

Ye Jianyun pushed this matter that should have been finalized before the new year to after the new year.

She had asked Li Tingshen if the Li Corporation wanted to accept this job.

Li Tingshen’s attitude was the same as hers.

Ye Jianyun’s words were no different from Ye Qingqiu’s.

However, Ye Jianyun didn’t continue the discussion and changed the topic.

Although Ye Qingqiu wasn’t interested in the company, she felt that it was good to be able to see Li Tingshen just by hearing his voice.

Lian Lili rushed to the Ye family before the new year.

After all, Ye Qingqiu was his future daughter-in-law. In order to protect Li Ting, she had suffered serious injuries. She couldn’t put on airs at this time.

However, her expression seemed to be even uglier than before.

The Ye family had prepared a sumptuous dinner for her.

She didn’t refuse.

At the table, she mentioned

The New Year’s Eve dinner.

She wanted Li Tingshen to bring Ye Qingqiu back to the Li family to eat.

Ye Qingqiu was a little surprised. Lian Li’s expression today did not match what she had said.

However, since the two of them had already registered their marriage, it was normal for them to go to the Li family for the new year.

Ye Jianyun paused and glanced at Ye Qingqiu and Li Tingshen before nodding in agreement.

Seeing Ye Jianyun’s reaction, Ye Qingqiu’s heart suddenly ached.

Usually, when she wasn’t at home, the entire Ye residence was empty.

He had just returned to accompany her for a few days. It was such a big holiday, and he was the only one left…

*

Early in the morning, Li Tingshen brought Ye Qingqiu back to the Li family.

Ye Jianyun went out with them to fetch Liang Xuer from the hospital.

Old Master and Ye Jianyun both felt that they couldn’t bear to leave Liang Xuer alone in the hospital during the new year.

After discussing with the doctor and reluctantly obtaining approval, they could bring her out.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t express her opinion on this matter. However, compared to letting the two elders stare at each other at home during the new year, the scene felt cold.

Perhaps it would be more lively when Liang Xuer returned. She could treat it as accompanying the old lady.

However, when she thought of Liang Xuer’s arrogant and aloof face, she felt that it was better to spend the new year alone.

The servants had been busy since yesterday. Although they were not used to Eldest Miss not having dinner at home this year, they heard that with Miss Liang Xuer around, a sumptuous dinner was necessary.

Yet.

Ye Jianyun didn’t pick her up at the hospital.

When Ye Qingqiu arrived at the Li residence, she discovered Liang Xuer, who should have been picked up by Ye Jianyun.

Her face darkened immediately.

Lian Lili was chatting happily with Liang Xuer when she saw Li Tingshen carrying Ye Qingqiu into the house. She paused before smiling again.

Liang Xuer’s face froze when she saw the two of them.

“Brother Tingshen, you’re back.”

Her words sounded as if Ye Qingqiu was air.

“Why are you here?”

Li Tingshen didn’t respond to her. Instead, he placed Ye Qingqiu on the sofa and asked calmly.

Liang Xuer bit her lips and folded her hands silently.

“I’m the one who brought her here. I can’t send her to the hospital alone during the new year.”

Ye Qingqiu’s anger kept surging out of her chest.

She strangled the vent tightly, trying not to maximize her emotions.

“My father was the one who applied to be discharged. If anyone wants to pick her up, they should bring her to the Ye family. When she comes here next year…”

Ye Qingqiu looked up at Liang Xuer coldly and said, “Don’t you think you’re shameless when Auntie Lian is being polite?”

Liang Xuer’s face froze for a moment before it turned even uglier.

The atmosphere became tense.

Anger flashed across Lian Lili’s face.

“The person I invited is the person I should have invited. The reason why Xu’er is so seriously injured this time is to save Tingshen. I can’t repay her kindness for the rest of my life. What’s wrong with me inviting her to my house for a reunion dinner? It’s only right for me to keep her by my side every year.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “In the future, if any woman takes a fancy to Li Tingshen, they will arrange for an accident to happen. Wouldn’t the Ye family’s reunion dinner be even more lively?”

Lian Lili was so angry that her face turned pale. She glared at Li Tingshen.

Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Ye Qingqiu. “…This is the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Do you think that your mother isn’t enough? Why did you have to provoke an ancestor!”

Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Aunt Lian, don’t pressure Li Tingshen just because you’re unhappy. Aren’t you the one making things difficult for him?”

“You…”

“Ye Qingqiu.” Li Tingshen’s deep voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Qingqiu’s smiling eyes landed on the cup on the coffee table as she waited quietly for Li Tingshen to continue.

“I brought you here for the new year, not for you to throw a tantrum and cause trouble for everyone. This matter ends here.”

Lian Lili, who was so angry that she wanted to slap the table, heard Li Tingshen’s words. The anger in her heart was extinguished.

She retracted her hand in satisfaction and sneered. “On account of the fact that you’re young and insensible, there’s indeed no need for me to be angry with you, especially today. You’ve been pampered in the Ye family since you were young, and your temper and personality have indulged you. But you have to marry someone eventually. You have to know that not everyone is from the Ye family. You’re still young, so it’s not too late for you to restrain your temper. Otherwise, how tired will the people around you be in the future? I’m old friends with your parents. Although these words sound harsh, they’re all for your own good…”

Ye Qingqiu was still looking at the coffee table with a faint smile.

It wasn’t until Lian Lili finished speaking that she looked up at the silent Liang Xuer.

“Either you scram back to the hospital now or I’ll get someone to send you back to the Ye family. I’ll give you a choice.”

Lian Lili didn’t get any response. Ye Qingqiu turned to Liang Xuer as if she didn’t hear a word she said.

The feeling of being ignored made her feel awkward and angry.

Moreover, her words to Liang Xuer were a slap to her face.

“I told you! Xu’er is my invited guest.”

Lian Lili raised her voice in anger.

“Liang Xuer is from the Ye family. The Ye family doesn’t agree to her spending the New Year here.”

Compared to Lian Lili’s near hysteria, Ye Qingqiu seemed too calm.

Liang Xuer’s intertwined hands intertwined as her chest heaved violently.

In the end, she glared at Ye Qingqiu.

Ye Qingqiu nodded and took out her phone from her shirt.

“The hospital or the Ye family? I’ll send you there.”

The cold and indifferent voice beside her made Ye Qingqiu pause.

“Tingshen!” Lian Lili was furious.

Liang Xuer raised her head and bit her lips as she looked at Li Tingshen tearfully.

There was humiliation and unwillingness.

Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes to look at the call that was about to be made. She chuckled softly and chose to hold the phone in her hand.

Her laughter made Liang Xuer feel even more humiliated, and tears fell from her eyes.

Li Tingshen didn’t say much, but his attitude didn’t change.

She lowered her head and looked at the tears falling on the back of her cold hands. She said stiffly,

“I’m going back to the hospital.”

Li Tingshen glanced at Ye Qingqiu, who was sitting on the sofa with her phone in her hand, and nodded.

“Okay.”

He walked to Liang Xuer and grabbed the wheelchair behind her. He turned around and looked at Ye Qingqiu.

“I’ll send her back to the hospital first. Wait for me here.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Li Tingshen glanced at Lian Lili again. “Enough is enough.”

Lian Lili’s face was tense as she glared at him. “You’re determined to send Xu’er back to the hospital?”

“Her choice.”

“She still wants to stay here. Have you given her a choice?!”

“It doesn’t make sense.”

Li Tingshen said calmly before pushing Liang Xuer away.

Only Lian Lili and Ye Qingqiu were left in the living room.

They didn’t say a word to each other, and the air was filled with tension and awkwardness.

The large floor-to-ceiling glass window faced the door.

Li Tingshen’s car was parked at a spot that could be seen clearly through the window.

The chauffeur opened the door and Li Tingshen bent down to carry Liang Xuer into the car.

His movements were smooth and natural.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered and her lips twitched as she retracted her gaze.

Lian Lili looked at her coldly and finally spoke.

“To be honest, I’m very surprised that you can be with Tingshen, but everyone makes choices for a reason. I don’t know how much of this is because of his pure feelings for you, but I know that it’s definitely not a large proportion.”

“His father left first and I raised him myself. I’ve spent most of my life on him. I’m undoubtedly the most important person to him in this world. No one can replace me in his heart. No matter who it is, I’ll always be his first choice.”

Ye Qingqiu had always been calm. “I know that you’re his mother. No one will mistakenly think that he doesn’t care about you. But do you care about him?”

Lian Lili frowned. “He’s my son and I’m his mother. You’re saying that I don’t care about him?”

“You care about him…” Ye Qingqiu smiled. “Haven’t you always forced your thoughts and decisions on him? Just because he cares about you, you’re sure that he won’t disobey you easily and let him live the life you arranged for him? Auntie Lian, your son isn’t someone who can be manipulated by others…”

“I won’t harm him.” Lili didn’t seem to intend to deny Ye Qingqiu’s words. “In this world, I’m the only one who wants him to live well. I’m the only one who doesn’t have any ulterior motives towards him. I’m the one he trusts the most. In this world, other than himself and me, no one is worthy of his trust, even if it’s someone who sleeps on the same bed as him.”

Was this referring to her?

Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly as she thought to herself.

But hadn’t Lian Lili never thought that Li Tingshen would really marry her?

If she knew that Li Tingshen had already registered his marriage with her, how would she react?

“Your words seem to be too unfair to Uncle Li.”

Lian Lili’s face suddenly twisted. After about ten seconds, her face returned to normal.

“Everyone makes mistakes, and your Uncle Li is no exception.”

She didn’t seem to want to talk about this topic and said impatiently,

“In short, I want you to know that in this world, I’m the most important person to Tingshen. Also, you’d better not have any designs on the Li Corporation.”

Ye Qingqiu rubbed the phone in her hand and lowered her eyes to look at the lines on the screen.

“That depends on whether Li Tingshen is worth it to me.”

Lian Lili frowned. “What do you mean?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “I don’t mean anything else. We’re family. How can I harm him? What good will it do me?”

The servant came up to change the hot water. Lian Lili sat on the sofa and sipped her water elegantly.

“But you’re quite patient. Based on my understanding of your temper, you won’t choose to stay today.”

“It’s the new year today.” It was a simple answer.
