Li Tingshen’s cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his knuckles were pale.

Li Tingshen was in no mood to pick up his phone.

The black car sped along the road, passing through the city before stopping outside a luxurious manor.

The black and gold door opened slowly. Not far away, the luxurious villa lit up from the darkness as if it had sensed something.

The car drove into the manor and stopped outside the villa. There were already people waiting respectfully at the entrance.

“Mr Li.”

Li Tingshen walked into the villa silently.

The entire villa was brightly lit and every spot was spotless. The windows were bright and clean, and everything was exactly the same as when she left back then.

She supervised and designed the furniture personally.

She had already completed everything and could move in openly in less than a month. In the end, she had not been here for three years.

Back then, he was still unfamiliar with this place. Now, he was already familiar with it.

He went upstairs and the servants closed the door carefully.

She had boiled water, but she didn’t dare to go upstairs to deliver it.

She had even ordered the four-piece set on the bed in the bedroom. It was pure blue.

He took off his jacket and wanted to lie down as usual, but the wound on his arm was bleeding. He paused and bent down to sit on the ground. He leaned his back against the bed and rested his left hand on his bent leg. He looked at the moonlight outside the window and tried his best to calm his restless heart.

This was their home.

No matter how busy he was in the past three years, as long as he was still in this city, he had to return here.

He imagined a woman who was his wife waiting for him at home. As a husband, the most basic thing he should do was not stay out all night.

Then, she came back and slept alone in the room that should have been theirs.

But even so, he had something to look forward to.

He would wait three years.

She had to come out eventually.

However, when she appeared in front of him, he felt that he had to wait for a long time.

If he brought her here, would she smash everything in the house or even set the entire manor on fire?

Given her personality and temper, she probably would.

That wouldn’t do.

No way.

After some time, there was a knock on the door.

Li Tingshen’s unfocused eyes gradually focused.

“Who?”

“CEO Li, it’s me.”

Xiao Chu’s voice sounded softly outside. Li Tingshen frowned. It was already ten o’clock. He sat in the room for two hours.

“Speak.”

A single word came from the closed room, hoarse and dull.

Xiao Chu paused. “It’s Miss Liang. She’s filming with injuries and her wound is infected. She’s hospitalized and refuses to cooperate with treatment…”

Xiao Chu didn’t receive a response. Just as he was about to say something, the door suddenly opened.

“CEO Li…”

Li Tingshen’s face darkened as he walked out. “To the hospital.”

He put on his jacket as he walked. When Xiao Chu saw the blood seeping out of his arm, her expression changed drastically.

“Your arm…”

“Let’s talk at the hospital.”

Xiao Chu reacted and hurriedly went downstairs to drive.

In the passenger seat, Li Tingshen’s phone was still lying there. Xiao Chu charged his phone.

“Your phone is out of battery. Miss Liang’s assistant couldn’t contact you and found me…”

“Yeah.”

Li Tingshen replied calmly. Along the way, he heard his phone ringing. Seeing that it was Liang Xuer, he didn’t answer.

The phone that was about to run out of battery was probably turned off by them.

When they reached the hospital, Liang Xuer refused to let the doctor treat her wound. Her face was burning and her lips were pale. She insisted on showering first.

Naturally, the doctor disagreed.

Li Tingshen pushed the door open and entered. The moment Liang Xuer saw him, tears fell from her eyes.

“What are you doing here?”

Li Tingshen looked at her with a deep frown. “Do you have to create a commotion every time you’re sick?”

Liang Xuer was in a daze because of the fever. She had endured until now, but he had still come.

The assistant was exhausted from Liang Xuer’s torture. When he saw Li Tingshen, he hurriedly said, “Mr Li, Xu’er’s wound is infected, but she wants to take a shower before bandaging it…”

Li Tingshen’s face turned cold and his voice was low. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Liang Xuer wiped her tears and said, “Is this called fooling around? How many times have I fallen into the water during filming? No one has asked me about the bacteria in the wild water in the mountains. I’m smelly all over now. Is wanting to take a clean shower considered fooling around?”

Li Tingshen frowned and said, “Wrap it up first and wipe your body later.”

“I don’t want it.”

Liang Xuer rejected him directly and Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened. “Xu’er, don’t test my patience.”

Liang Xuer’s heart skipped a beat and the tears in her eyes flowed even more fiercely. “You’ve only been in here for less than two minutes and you think I’m testing your patience?”

She suddenly laughed and looked at Li Tingshen with obvious mockery in her teary eyes.

“Or could it be that someone has already worn out your patience, so you’re venting it on me now?”

There was no name, but it was obvious who she was referring to.

Li Tingshen’s brows were slightly swollen, and his handsome and cold face darkened.

Xiao Chu’s heart tightened. She deliberated and chose to speak.

“Miss Liang, CEO Li’s arm is injured. He came to see you before the wound was treated…”

Liang Xuer was slightly stunned. Her gaze landed on his arm and she finally sat on the bed as though she was exhausted.

Was he injured?

Why was she injured when she had just returned from overseas?

It was none other than the injury she had suffered while saving Ye Qingqiu.

Now, her heart ached for a man who was injured while saving another woman…

Ha.

The doctor went forward to treat Liang Xuer’s wound.

Liang Xuer didn’t say anything this time. She only looked at Li Tingshen calmly.

“Where is she now?”

Xiao Chu’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t this question… a little too late?

Since when had she moved into the Imperial Group’s apartment?

If she were to find out now, things would turn upside down.

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and looked at her silently.

“She can’t be in this hospital, right? After all, when you knew that she was injured, you carried her away in a hurry. You must have come to the hospital, right?”

“You were the one who knocked her down.”

Li Tingshen’s voice was deep and his eyes were dark as he looked at Liang Xuer.

Was he saying that he was just cleaning up the mess Liang Xuer had caused?

He still wanted to settle scores with her because she had knocked her down the cliff.
