Chapter 1985: Clear

He pressed himself tightly against her, his large palms holding her hands and one leg pressing against her to lift her up.

The desire on her lips gradually deviated.

The fiery kiss brushed against her skin before landing heavily on a certain spot to bite. Every movement was directed in a certain direction.

He pressed against her tightly and she couldn’t move. All her resistance was devoured by him.

The tearing and biting on her neck, the trembling as her body slid against her skin, all these factors had exhausted almost all of Ye Qingqiu’s energy.

!!

The fear she had experienced that night had completely crushed all her forbearance and pretended to be strong.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Li Tingshen… don’t be like this… I’m afraid…”

Li Tingshen’s body suddenly trembled and his lips pressed against her neck, but he didn’t move.

Ye Qingqiu’s trembling voice sounded aggrieved.

“Qin Hao almost bullied me tonight… Are you going to bully me like him?”

Li Tingshen retreated slowly and looked down at her.

Her eyes were still bloodshot, but the viciousness and ruthlessness in them seemed to have darkened.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Li Tingshen’s gaze followed her tears and landed on her chin.

It landed on the protruding hill in front of her.

Her fair skin glowed under the light.

His eyes darkened gradually.

She seemed to be afraid and aggrieved. Her collarbone contracted and expanded, opening and closing irregularly. Her sobs sounded like she had suffered a huge grievance in this world.

Li Tingshen thought so.

She couldn’t be more aggrieved.

The viciousness in her body was suppressed by her soft appearance.

He reached out to wipe the tears off her face and saw her eyelashes tremble in fear the moment he touched her.

It was clearly a damp hand, but the feeling of tears between her fingers was unusually strong.

He bent his head and pressed his forehead against hers.

His voice was hoarse and low. “Sorry.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled and her eyelashes were still wet.

The viciousness of the previous moment and the gentleness of this moment.

What day was it tonight? Even Li Tingshen looked like he had never seen him before.

“Get out. I want to shower.”

After a long time, she sensed that Li Tingshen didn’t have a dangerous aura, so she spoke softly. After saying a few words, she even sobbed.

Li Tingshen looked at her and whispered, “I’ll help you shower.”

“I can do it myself.”

Ye Qingqiu was full of resistance. Li Tingshen didn’t insist and his gaze swept past her feet.

“I’ll give you fifteen minutes.”

With that, he let go of her.

He was drenched. He grabbed a towel and dried his hair before walking out.

Seeing that he had really left the bathroom, Ye Qingqiu finally relaxed. She adjusted the temperature of the water and took off her clothes.

Fifteen minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom. Li Tingshen was standing by the window. He had already changed into a clean set of clothes.

When he heard the bathroom door open, he turned around. His handsome face had completely changed.

Calm and mature, refined and cold.

Seeing him, he strode towards her and bent down to carry her to the bed.

“Are you addicted to hugging people today?”

The discomfort in her body and the pain in her feet woke Ye Qingqiu up.

At this moment, the two of them had returned to their original selves.

Li Tingshen squatted on the ground and silently placed her foot on his knee. He removed the wet band-aid and cleaned it for her before replacing it with a new one.

Ye Qingqiu watched silently as he handled his feet.

“Where’s Liang Xuer? You left her there.”

The silence in the room was broken by Ye Qingqiu’s clear voice.

Li Tingshen placed her feet on the slippers expressionlessly.

“You can vent your anger with two slaps?”

Ye Qingqiu sneered. “Do you think that’s possible? I want to settle scores with her for the rest of my life.”

“Then why do you care about her?”

Li Tingshen stood up and picked up the hairdryer from the bedside table.

Ye Qingqiu stared at him. “I only care about myself.”

Li Tingshen turned on the hairdryer. It was silent, but there was a warm breeze.

Ye Qingqiu allowed him to blow her hair.

“Although my appearance was an accident and I almost ruined your plans, I can still say that I’m sorry. But in the end, it was only Liang Xuer who had planned it. Your plan still succeeded, so there’s no need for me to apologize.”

Li Tingshen’s grip on her hair suddenly paused.

“It’s probably because I like you too much, so I’m used to finding excuses for you and convincing myself on your behalf.”

“Ever since I hid in the washroom tonight, I’ve been wondering why it was like this today. You know that Qin ** is pursuing Liang Xuer. I brought her here today to protect her, but you pushed her to Qin **.”

“…You drugged him, didn’t you? He doesn’t look like he drank too much tonight. That waiter was arranged by you. You brought Liang Xuer here tonight not only to use her to attend the banquet, but also to push her out to achieve your final goal, right?”

Ye Qingqiu looked calm on the surface, but her heart was trembling.

This thought popped up in her mind in the hotel bathroom, but she refuted it several times.

Then, she thought about the possibilities in the bathroom.

In the end, there was only one possibility.

She didn’t want to believe it.

Li Tingshen could be so ruthless and unscrupulous.

Although she hated Liang Xuer, she wondered what she would be like after knowing the truth after being used by the man she liked.

“Are you sympathizing with her?” Li Tingshen looked at her soft side profile and continued with his actions.

Ye Qingqiu laughed. “Am I crazy? Sympathy for her? I just feel…”

“You think I’m scary. Who knows, I might do something similar to you one day.”

Li Tingshen interrupted her and explained calmly.

Ye Qingqiu was silent for a while before saying, “I’m still worried that if Liang Xuer is really succeeded by Qin, you will be responsible for her for the rest of your life because of guilt.”

“He won’t succeed.”

Ye Qingqiu smiled. “That’s why.”

Hence, if anything happened to Liang Xuer, Li Tingshen would never abandon her.

He had agreed to his father’s request to be with her because of some “kindness”, so he couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened.

Li Tingshen ran his fingers through her hair and pulled her to him.

He bent down to look at her closely. His eyes were as dark as an abyss.

“Are you afraid? I’m ruthless and my methods are dirty. That’s why you’re afraid.”

Do you think that I’m sanctimonious and a beast in human clothing? I’m completely different from the man you’ve always liked? Do you want to break up with me?”

His tone was low and gentle, but there seemed to be an inexplicable danger.

It was as if as long as she nodded and said that she wanted to break up, he might crush her head immediately.

Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes, unable to hide her fatigue. “My fear has passed. I’m tired and I want to rest now. After all, I’ve used her. It’s not good to leave her there. Go and fetch her home.”

She slapped his hand away and got into bed.

Li Tingshen was looking at her coldly by the bed.

She was pushing him away.

Before tonight, or even two hours ago, she was especially against him being too close to Liang Xuer.

Now, she actually took the initiative to ask him to pick her up.

“Are you breaking up with me?” he asked again.

Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and said, “I’m not sure. Do you want me to give you an answer now? If so, I can think about it now.”

Li Tingshen stared at her back for a long time before saying slowly,

“No. You sleep first.”
