Xiao Chu and the doctor fell silent.

Wasn’t this… a little… shameless?

How could she admit that?

Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a moment before she sneered.

“Have you lost your mind? Liang Xuer isn’t a woman?”

Li Tingshen hummed again.

Xiao Chu was speechless.

The doctor was speechless.

Ye Qingqiu frowned and looked at Li Tingshen as if he was a monster.

Lunatic.

She ignored him and was about to leave when Li Tingshen stopped her.

“You’re injured. Let me carry you.”

“Are you done?”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything. He looked at her for two seconds before bending down to carry her.

“Li Tingshen!”

“Don’t move, your arm will hurt.”

Li Tingshen’s hoarse voice was low and deep. A word that would never appear on him naturally flowed out—pitiful.

Ye Qingqiu paused and said, “It has nothing to do with me even if you’re crippled!”

Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened and he glanced at her.

“You’ll fall to the ground.”

Ye Qingqiu instinctively tightened her grip on his shoulder.

Li Tingshen’s lips curled imperceptibly as he glanced at Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu hurried forward to open the door.

Ye Qingqiu reacted. “Put me down. I can let Xiao Chu carry me.”

Xiao Chu almost knelt on the ground.

Great-aunt.

My… entire family is counting on me to support them.

“Impossible.” Li Tingshen immediately rejected this suggestion.

“Li Tingshen!”

“If you speak again, I’ll fire Xiao Chu.”

Xiao Chu was speechless.

Xiao Chu pressed her palms together and pleaded. She wanted to kneel down.

Ye Qingqiu was speechless.

Where did he learn to be so shameless!

At this moment, in the high-class conference room on the top floor of the Ming Corporation building in a faraway country, a few CEOs sneezed one after another.

Bo Jinchuan glanced at them before picking up his phone.

His face was expressionless and indifferent. Everyone thought that he had an astronomical project waiting for him to discover with a poker face. However, only Yu Song knew how many people his boss had deceived with his appearance!

Because he watched as his boss opened the information software and typed a message—

[I think I caught a cold.] There was also a pitiful emoticon.

Yu Song was speechless.

Dogs… Humans were fickle-minded.

Shen Fanxing, who received the message, stared at the emoticon for a long time and couldn’t help but laugh. She replied with a cute emoticon of a hug and a kiss and typed, “I’ve prepared medicine for you. Go back and brew two bags of it to prevent any accidents.”

Bo Jinchuan stared at the emoticon for a long time before replying with a smile.

Shen Fanxing replied with an obedient emoji.

Bo Jinchuan put down his phone in satisfaction.

When she looked up again, her face was as cold as ice.

Yu Song was speechless.

Sooner or later, he would be schizophrenic.

From the hospital to the car, from the car to the apartment.

In the end, Ye Qingqiu was gently placed on the bed. Li Tingshen took off her shoes and placed them aside.

He had done such things before.

However, things were different now. Li Tingshen was one of the most influential people in Ping Cheng City. He was a figure who could control the entire entertainment industry. He was refined, handsome, cold, and noble. He stood at the top of everyone’s admiration.

Now that she had been imprisoned, she was nothing. Doing such a thing would seem too lowly and she was not worthy.

“Rest for a while. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

It was unknown what Ye Qingqiu was thinking. She looked at him calmly for a long time before saying slowly,

“I want to wipe my body before I rest…”

Li Tingshen nodded. “I’ll help you…”

“I’m not crippled.” Ye Qingqiu interrupted him coldly. “I’m alone and I’ve survived until now. There’s nothing I can’t endure.”

She was afraid of pain. She was really too afraid of pain.

But she had even given birth to a child.

Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened and his voice became hoarse.

“You don’t have to suffer now.”

“No,” Ye Qingqiu said clearly. She stared at the man who was half-squatting in front of her, her fingers gripping the blanket behind her.

“I think there’s nothing more unbearable than staying by your side. Every day feels like a year. Otherwise, why do you think I chose to go to jail back then?”

Li Tingshen’s dark pupils constricted.

The entire room suddenly fell silent. It was as if someone had deliberately expelled poisonous gas into the air. With every breath, Li Tingshen felt his heart gradually being corroded by dense pain.

She was using the same trick again.

She didn’t have to do anything. All she had to do was move her mouth and she could stab him in the heart.

“I’ll get someone to help you.”

He stood up, not wanting to continue this topic with her.

“Li Tingshen, you don’t have to feel sorry for me. To be honest, your apology isn’t important to me. No matter how sorry you are, everything I lost back then won’t return to me. No matter how much I hate you, I can’t avenge anyone.

I don’t agree with sacrificing one’s life, and my father won’t agree with me doing such a thing. In fact, on the legal level, you didn’t do anything wrong, so I can’t pursue the matter. Even if I do, it will be a waste of my time.

“The best way for the two of us to get along is to become strangers. There’s no better solution. Li Tingshen, let me go and we’ll let each other off.”

Ye Qingqiu had never spoken to Li Tingshen calmly before.

She even said so much in one go.

She was grateful to him for saving her today.

Ever since she met Li Tingshen, she had said that she was an easy person to coax. Hence, as long as he put down his pride and said something nice or did something that didn’t anger her, she would write everything off.

So now, it was only because he had saved her and because he was worried about her injuries that he had lowered himself.

She couldn’t stand it anymore and her heart wavered. She decided…

She retracted the spikes on her body and talked to him calmly.

The last ray of orange light reflected on the carpet in the room gradually disappeared. As the sun moved, the curtains of the night gradually opened.

Silence.

It was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing.

“I can’t.”

After a long while, Li Tingshen said slowly.

Then, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingqiu quietly. His eyes seemed to be filled with complicated and contradictory emotions.

“Letting you go doesn’t mean letting me go. No one will let me go.”
