Chapter 1951: I’m Not

The first thing she felt when she saw Li Tingshen was anger.

Her dissatisfaction towards Liang Xuer was obvious.

Putting aside whether she knew if Qingqiu would bring her classmate back today and whether Li Tingshen would misunderstand,

The fact that she had asked Tingshen to tutor her had always been a thorn in Qingqiu’s heart.

Even though Qingqiu hadn’t mentioned it for the past few days, it didn’t mean that she didn’t care.

But if she wanted to study, so be it. At the very least, Qingqiu wouldn’t miss her.

Now, she had brought her home.

Wasn’t she deliberately giving Qingqiu a hard time?

“Uncle.”

Liang Xuer greeted Ye Jianyun nonchalantly.

No matter how unhappy Ye Jianyun was, he still responded. However, his expression wasn’t any better.

“Uncle Ye,” Li Tingshen said calmly, his face expressionless.

Ye Jianyun nodded. “Stay for dinner today. I’ll instruct the kitchen to cook a few more dishes.”

Li Tingshen nodded in surprise and agreed.

Liang Xuer didn’t know if she should be happy or sad.

If she hadn’t mentioned to him that Ye Qingqiu had asked Xu Wenxuan to tutor her until late at night, if she hadn’t said that she might bring Xu Wenxuan home to study today…

Would he come back with her today?

“Brother Tingshen, come to my room.”

Liang Xuer collected her thoughts and turned to Li Tingshen. Li Tingshen was silent for two seconds before saying calmly,

“Do what you’re confident of first. Find me later. I’ll be in the living room.”

Liang Xuer opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Li Tingshen leaned over and sat on the sofa.

At Ye Jianyun’s age, she liked to drink tea and play chess.

There was a high-end purple sand tea tray on the coffee table in the living room. Li Tingshen’s gaze lingered on it for a while.

Ye Jianyun was slightly relieved by his action of avoiding danger. He happened to catch Li Tingshen’s gaze. He reached out to push the tea that the servant had served and personally boiled the water. The servant knew that he wanted to make tea and tactfully retreated.

Seeing this, Liang Xuer knew that nothing she said would change anything. She could only bite her lips and go upstairs.

This was the first time Li Tingshen sat like this with Ye Jianyun. His gaze followed Ye Jianyun’s movements and his expression was calm.

It wasn’t until Ye Jianyun placed a cup of tea in front of him that he thanked her.

Ye Jianyun smiled faintly and said, “I should have plenty of time in university. I didn’t hear anything about you coming into contact with the company.”

Lian Lili had always asked him to take care of the Li family’s company. He knew very well whether Li Tingshen had interacted with the company or not.

Li Tingshen nodded. “Not yet.”

“Although theory isn’t indispensable, no matter how much you read, it’s not as good as experiencing it yourself. It’s time to interfere. If you have time, go to the company more often and ask me if you have any questions.”

Li Tingshen picked up his teacup and took a sip.

She nodded.

Ye Jianyun shook her head secretly. With such an indifferent and cold personality, Qingqiu would suffer in the future.

Although he didn’t want to interfere in the children’s problems, he was indeed worried about his precious daughter’s marriage.

After some thought, he said, “Qingqiu has caused you trouble recently. She has been spoiled by us, but she’s still very innocent. You should know that I’ve always protected her well. I didn’t let her experience so many complicated situations. She’s straightforward and doesn’t beat around the bush. She doesn’t play any tricks. Her heartlessness is worrying. She’s my only daughter. When Xu’er came back, I was very happy that she finally had someone to accompany her. I didn’t expect the two of them to be at odds…”

Li Tingshen frowned.

“Uncle Ye has something else to say.”

Ye Jianyun nodded and said, “I can tell that you know very well that Qingqiu likes you very much, so I hope that you can help me take care of Qingqiu in the future. Of course, it’ll be best if you can get together with her. At that time, I’ll naturally entrust the Ye Corporation to you… Everyone in Ping Cheng probably knows that I’ve never thought of forcing Qingqiu to take over the Ye Corporation in the future.”

Ye Jianyun paused for a while before continuing with a smile, “Although she’s my daughter and I believe in her character, I don’t believe in her ability.”

Li Tingshen frowned slightly.

“She’s still young and has a long way to go. Naturally, there will be many uncertainties. She might like me now, but that doesn’t mean she will in the future.”

Ye Jianyun shook her head and said, “You’re right, but you might not know this. The man that a girl likes for the first time will not be replaced no matter what. Even if there will be an even more outstanding man in the future.”

Or do you think that there will really be another man who can threaten you in the future? I’ve never thought of you as someone without confidence.”

Li Tingshen paused for half a second before saying calmly,

“I’m not.”

Ye Jianyun nodded in satisfaction.

“I won’t say anything else about your relationship as children. I’ve never forced anyone.”

In other words, he was just expressing his future wishes.

If the two of them really had their own thoughts, he couldn’t say anything else. He could only take it one step at a time.

Li Tingshen nodded.

She took the second cup of tea from Ye Jianyun and glanced at her watch.

Half an hour had passed.

His gaze lingered on the door for half a second before he pursed his lips.

Seeing this, Ye Jianyun smiled.

“Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence. If you came yesterday or the day before yesterday, you might not have met Qingqiu. Today, she’s bringing her friend home to tutor. We can have dinner together later. She should be very happy.”

Li Tingshen frowned. “She’s at home?”

Ye Jianyun nodded. “Yes, I don’t know what’s going on recently, but she’s suddenly working hard on her studies. She’s studying upstairs with her classmates now.”

Li Tingshen looked up slowly, but there was no change in his gaze.

Ye Jianyun thought to herself that this child’s personality was really indifferent and deep.

How did his Qingqiu adapt to this personality?

She took a sip of tea and looked at Li Tingshen meaningfully.

He slowly put down the teacup and said in a deep voice,

“I heard that you had a conflict with a few classmates at school a few days ago and even got into a fight. I know you’re not someone who takes the initiative to do evil to others, so I’m very curious about the reason.”

Li Tingshen’s pupils constricted.

Although Ye Jianyun’s tone and expression were probing, Li Tingshen could sense the shrewdness in his tone.

Although she had been exposed for no reason, she was very certain.

He frowned slightly and said, “Most people at this age are impulsive. It’s inevitable for them to have verbal or physical conflicts.”

Ye Jianyun stared at him for a while with a meaningful smile on his face.

“Is that so?”

Li Tingshen remained silent.

A few minutes later, Liang Xuer came downstairs with her exercise book.

Ye Jianyun had no intention of leaving, and Li Tingshen had no intention of leaving either. Liang Xuer could only sit beside Li Tingshen and consult him on the remaining problems.

Li Tingshen had never liked doing things. He would never have the chance to get someone to ask him questions again.

Of course, Ye Qingqiu was an exception.

It wasn’t that his explanation wasn’t good enough, but…

Only Ye Qingqiu had the guts to play tricks in front of him.

If she insisted that she didn’t understand, he could only explain it to her again.

“Do you understand?”

Liang Xuer nodded.

Obviously, only Ye Qingqiu dared to do so.

Liang Xuer placed the question on the exercise book and heaved a sigh of relief.

“The exam is the day after tomorrow. I think there should be a good result this time. Thank you, Brother Tingshen. Sorry to trouble you these few days.”

“Yeah.”

Liang Xuer carried her exercise book and said, “I’ll go up and pack my homework first.”

Without expecting any response from Li Tingshen, she turned around and went upstairs.

The servant came to inform Ye Jianyun that dinner was ready.

Ye Jianyun nodded. “Go and see how Qingqiu and Young Master Xu are doing. Let them come down for dinner.”

“Okay.”

The servant went upstairs and knocked on the study door.

“Miss, dinner is ready. Master asked how your studies are going.”

Ye Qingqiu was currently in a dilemma because of a question. Xu Wenxuan had explained it a few times, but she was still having problems.

Hearing this voice, she said irritably, “Nothing much!”

The servant choked and didn’t dare to say anything else. She could only turn around and leave.

She went downstairs and looked at Ye Jianyun awkwardly.

“Sir, Miss should still have some time.”

Ye Jianyun was puzzled. After all, Young Master Xu was a guest. Qingqiu should have considered it.

Unless her mood was affected by something.

“I wonder what happened to her?”

The servant shook her head and glanced at Li Tingshen before saying softly,

“Miss didn’t open the door.”

Li Tingshen’s eyes narrowed slightly and his cold face gradually turned icy.

Ye Jianyun naturally didn’t want Li Tingshen to misunderstand Qingqiu, nor did he believe that his daughter would have any ambiguous relationship with other boys.

Presumably, the servant didn’t have the time to tell her that Tingshen was here.

After some thought, he looked at Li Tingshen and smiled.

“With her temper, not many people in the family dare to provoke her. I’m too lazy to go upstairs. Help me go up and call her.”

Li Tingshen nodded and stood up.

The servant hurriedly said, “Young Master Li, Miss and the rest…”

“Xiao Zhao, hurry up and set the table. It’ll be too late if Miss comes down later.”

Little Zhao could tell that Ye Jianyun was deliberately interrupting her. Although she didn’t know the reason, she still went back tactfully.

Li Tingshen went upstairs and met Liang Xuer, who was about to walk down.

“Brother Tingshen? Why are you here?”

“Where’s Ye Qingqiu’s room?” Li Tingshen asked indifferently.

She had never felt that there was anything wrong with asking about Ye Qingqiu in front of Liang Xuer.

Liang Xuer paused. “Why… are you looking for her?”

Li Tingshen frowned and glanced at her casually.

Liang Xuer pursed her lips and looked at the room at the end of the corridor.

Li Tingshen turned around and walked towards the room.

Liang Xuer didn’t understand, but after some thought, she followed behind Li Tingshen.

After a few steps, she remembered that Ye Qingqiu was with Xu Wenxuan today.

Actually, even she didn’t think that anything would happen between Ye Qingqiu and Xu Wenxuan.

Although she did not like Ye Qingqiu, she had an inexplicable trust in her.

There was no reason. Perhaps it was just an understanding accumulated over the years with Ye Qingqiu.

She hated this kind of understanding.

Even she, who hated her the most, would acknowledge her character at times.

However, she had never thought of anything worse. It was enough as long as Ye Qingqiu was with another man.

Li Tingshen stood outside Ye Qingqiu’s bedroom, his cold gaze fixed on the tightly shut door. His thin lips were pursed into a sharp line.

After a long while, he raised his hand and paused in mid-air. His dark eyes seemed to darken a few degrees before he finally placed his fingers on the door.

Liang Xuer took a deep breath but didn’t exhale. She held her breath and listened quietly.

But three seconds, four seconds, five seconds…

There was no response.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes.

His bent fingers landed on the door again.

Once, twice…

Each knock was heavier and longer than the last…

Liang Xuer frowned in confusion. Could Ye Qingqiu really…

At the thought of this, she suddenly went forward and opened Ye Qingqiu’s door.
