Chapter 2043: Can’t Be Defeated

Li Tingshen brought Ye Qingqiu back to the company.

Along the way, she kept wondering who that person was.

She recalled everyone she remembered, but she didn’t think anyone could match those eyes.

“What are you thinking about?” Along the way, Li Tingshen kept looking at her, but she seemed to be deep in thought.

She couldn’t think of anyone and could only shake her head. “Nothing.”

She took a deep breath and let out the frustration in her heart.

“Do I still have a surprise today? Don’t tell me that Liang Xuer’s discharge is your surprise.”

Li Tingshen smirked. “You didn’t know that she was discharged today?”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “My father called me yesterday.”

“You think her discharge can be considered a surprise?”

Ye Qingqiu tried her best to roll her eyes. “If she didn’t spend every day in the hospital with you, I would rather she stay in the hospital forever.”

“Then no.”

Ye Qingqiu knew that it was useless for her to ask, so she thought of another question.

“Actually, our family has prepared lunch because Liang Xuer has been discharged. Why did you bring me there first?”

“Aren’t you satisfied with today’s lunch?”

“We can eat another day.”

The car drove into the company’s underground parking lot. The lights dimmed and the sound of the car wheels rolling over the speed bumps sounded especially empty.

“I’m afraid it’ll affect your appetite. It’s more important to serve your stomach first.”

Ye Qingqiu paused and couldn’t help but smile. “When did your mouth become so eloquent?”

“The truth.”

They took the elevator to the office on the top floor.

Opening the door, Ye Qingqiu stared at Li Tingshen, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the surprise he wanted to give her.

Li Tingshen sat on the chair unhurriedly. Xiao Chu came in and placed the documents in front of Li Tingshen before reporting the progress of the company’s project in a serious manner.

Li Tingshen flipped through the documents calmly. After listening to Xiao Chu’s report, he took out a pen and signed it.

Xiao Chu took the document and Ye Qingqiu hurried over.

Seeing her eagerness, a faint smile appeared in Li Tingshen’s eyes.

This was the first time she had been so lively in front of him since Liang Xuer had been hospitalized.

Although such behavior was rare in the past, she still felt that it had been a long time.

“Where’s the surprise?” Ye Qingqiu asked.

However, someone knocked on the office door again. Li Tingshen raised his eyebrows slightly and answered the door.

Xiao Chu pushed the door open and met Ye Qingqiu’s resentful and angry eyes.

“Special Assistant Xiao, why can’t you come in to report your work? Why do you have to make a trip here? I haven’t seen your CEO Li for a few hours. Do you want to see him a few more times?”

The corners of Xiao Chu’s lips twitched as she looked innocently at Li Tingshen.

It was obvious that Li Tingshen wasn’t going to help him.

“Madam, I don’t dare to delay this sudden job…”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and leaned against Li Tingshen’s desk. She crossed her arms and snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

Xiao Chu glanced at Li Tingshen cautiously, feeling a little uneasy. Had he angered Madam?

Li Tingshen tapped his pen and gestured for him to work.

Xiao Chu placed the document in front of Li Tingshen. This was the market research report that had just been submitted.

Li Tingshen opened the document.

Xiao Chu continued, “CEO Li, there are already software of a similar nature spreading on the Internet and we have gained nearly 300,000 users. Our development is already in the final stages. Before that, before those people understand our development direction completely, I suggest that we pause the market research to avoid revealing too much to them.”

Li Tingshen looked at the report in front of him and seemed satisfied.

“Do you think the program that I spent so much money and time to design will be replaced by those opportunists outside?”

“The patent is in our hands. It’s fine if they want to take advantage of the situation. I’ve seen the research report this time. The familiarity and acceptance of the public have increased. It’s good to let them wade in the water first and publicize it.”

Xiao Chu thought for a moment and nodded.

The room fell into a momentary silence. Ye Qingqiu turned her head and looked at him coldly.

“Special Assistant Xiao, there shouldn’t be any temporary documents coming in in the next half an hour or an hour.”

Xiao Chu chuckled awkwardly and replied, “No, no.” Then, she turned around and left the office quickly.

Ye Qingqiu stood up and looked at him. “Are you lying to me? You actually want me to accompany you to the hospital to fetch Liang Xuer?”

“Are you tired?” Li Tingshen asked instead of answering.

Ye Qingqiu was furious. “I’m going to sleep. The surprise didn’t come. You don’t have to wake me up!”

With that, he entered the office with a dark expression.

Ten seconds…

Fifteen seconds…

An excited scream sounded from the lounge. Then, the door opened and Ye Qingqiu ran out.

Li Tingshen leaned back in his chair with a happy expression. He seemed to have expected Ye Qingqiu’s reaction.

Ye Qingqiu ran to his side and pointed inside excitedly.

“When did you come back?”

“About two hours ago.”

That meant that she had arrived at the company at noon?

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” She ran into the lounge in a hurry. Seeing that her thoughts had long been attracted by the things inside, Li Tingshen raised his eyebrows and threw the pen on the table. He stood up and walked in.

In the middle of the lounge stood a pure white wedding dress. It was almost inlaid with fine diamond particles. Even though the curtains were closed, the faint light could make the wedding dress reflect specks of colorful light.

Not even the gloves.

The design of the wedding gown could be considered conservative. It was a shoulder-length gown with silk sleeves, but it had a unique quality and charm.

The veil could barely spread out in the entire lounge. It flowed down from the top of her head and was so wide that it covered her entire shoulder.

She suspected that Li Tingshen was involved in the design of the wedding gown.

Everything was designed to be conservative.

But she was still beautiful.

She had been to so many bridal shops before, but she had never liked anything so much.

She looked at the wedding gown for a long time and couldn’t bear to part with it.

“Do you think I’ll be the most beautiful bride in the world?”

Ye Qingqiu stuck to the wedding gown and asked Li Tingshen with a burning gaze.

“You should ask the magic mirror.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned unhappily. “Tell me what happened!”

Li Tingshen approached slowly with a faint smile. His well-defined hand held the edge of the veil and caressed it gently.

“Compared to the fact that you’re the most beautiful in my eyes, I prefer everyone to think that you’re the most beautiful. The princess will only get one answer in front of the magic mirror.”

Alright, at least this man knew how to talk.

Ye Qingqiu was elated. She took out her phone and took photos of the wedding gown from various angles.

Li Tingshen retreated to the side. “Aren’t you going to try?”

“No.” Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “I’ll try it in front of you. You won’t feel any surprise on the day of the wedding.”

As she spoke, she smiled at Li Tingshen. “Just wait and see how I look in this wedding gown that day.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. In terms of torture, no one could compare to her.

“I want to send a photo to Grandpa, Daddy… and Brother Ye Ze…”

Li Tingshen’s eyebrows twitched, and his eyes shone with displeasure.

“You have to tell Ye Ze everything?”

Ye Qingqiu lowered her head and replied, “Yes.”

However, she realized that something was wrong with Li Tingshen. She looked up at him with a smile in her eyes.

“Brother Ye Ze has always been by my side to protect me since I was young. I don’t have any friends, so I naturally chat with him the most. The first time I had my period was when Brother Ye Ze bought me toilet paper and safety pants. Ah… I dirtied his clothes. I think he washed them himself…”

She seemed to have suddenly thought of this. Thinking back, she felt a little ashamed.

At that time, all the boys cared about their reputation and felt ashamed at the slightest thing, especially when it came to girls’ periods. They often joked about girls.

However, Ye Ze had never been like this before.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Ze treated her well.

He stayed by her side silently. When she needed him, he would be there without a word of complaint.

Because of his obscurity, she had taken it for granted all these years. She didn’t realize his importance and treated him as a background.

But it felt like her nose, her eyes, her limbs, any part of her body.

She didn’t care, but she was indispensable.

Ye Qingqiu’s expression gradually calmed down. If not for Brother Ye Ze, what kind of Ye Qingqiu would she be now?

Her change in expression made Li Tingshen’s face darken.

“Ye Qingqiu, what are you thinking?”

His deep voice snapped Ye Qingqiu back to reality and the phone in her hand vibrated.

She looked down and saw that it was Ye Ze. He replied immediately.

“Very beautiful. You must be the most beautiful bride in the world.”

Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly.

See, the most satisfactory answer for a girl.

Seeing this, Li Tingshen strode over and snatched the phone from Ye Qingqiu.

She looked down and saw Ye Ze’s reply.

“I didn’t expect him to say something like that. It suits you, doesn’t it?”

It was obvious that this man was jealous.

“Which girl doesn’t like to be praised for her beauty? It’s too obvious that she’s jealous, Mr Li.”

“Jealous?” Li Tingshen snorted coldly and threw the phone to Ye Qingqiu. “I shouldn’t be?”

Ye Qingqiu caught the phone. It was rare for a man to be so calm when he was jealous. She couldn’t help but find it funny.

“I should. Well, I might not be in the office this afternoon. Work hard and do your best.”

After saying that, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on his lips.

Before he left, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

“You didn’t say that you had something on this afternoon. Where are you going and what are you doing?”

Ye Qingqiu thought for a while and said, “Shopping.”

Li Tingshen frowned. “If you need anything, I’ll get someone to buy it for you.”

“No need. It’s more meaningful to shop personally.”

“I’ll get Xiao Chu to follow you.”

“Why did you suddenly ask Xiao Chu to follow me? I have Brother Ye Ze.”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

Seeing the man’s ugly expression, Ye Qingqiu sighed and lowered her head to pinch Li Tingshen’s sleeves.

“Brother Ye Ze and I are childhood sweethearts. He treats me really well. He’s handsome, has a good figure, a good temper, and is capable…”

Li Tingshen suddenly pulled her hand away.

Ye Qingqiu couldn’t help but chuckle as she grabbed her sleeve.

“So, if I had a relationship with Brother Ye Ze, how could I give you the chance to bully me? If we were together, we would have been together long ago.”

Li Tingshen wanted to pull his arm back, but Ye Qingqiu grabbed it.

“I’m married, Mr Li. If you’re jealous again, do you want to take out our marriage certificate to calm your emotions?”

“You should be the one to take a good look at them.”

“Okay, okay. Let’s watch it at home tonight.”

She patted his hand and comforted him. “Be good. I’ll pick you up from work in the afternoon.”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

*

Ye Qingqiu sent a message to Ye Ze the moment she left the office.

“I want to go shopping.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Ye Qingqiu coming out of the office, Xiao Chu hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

“Madam, it hasn’t been an hour.”

Ye Qingqiu replied, “I’ll give it to you. I see that you really want to stay with my husband. I’m afraid you’ll be anxious.”

When the secretaries heard this, they couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Xiao Chu felt awkward. “…Madam, it’s really work.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. Without saying a word, she walked towards the elevator.

Under the strange gazes of the secretaries, Xiao Chu entered Li Tingshen’s office with the newly submitted documents.

Li Tingshen had just walked from the lounge to his desk. When he saw Xiao Chu, he stopped in his tracks. “Go and follow Ye Qingqiu.”

*

When Ye Qingqiu left the company, she saw Ye Ze’s car waiting for her.

When he saw her, he immediately opened the car door for her.

“Miss, which mall do you want to go to?”

Ye Qingqiu stood at the door and asked him, “Where do you usually buy clothes?”

Ye Ze paused and said calmly, “If you’re really lacking, you can buy it from the nearest department store. Missy isn’t suitable to go there.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and her gaze landed on Ye Ze’s shoulder. She had no concept of men’s suits and brands. Every day, she would see him in a suit and leather shoes. He looked clean and meticulous, but she had never expected his clothes to be…

She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Ye Ze’s collar. Ye Ze trembled and instinctively wanted to retreat.

“Don’t move.”

Ye Qingqiu inched closer to take a closer look.

Be it the color, material, or workmanship, it was far inferior to Li Tingshen’s suits.

“It’s indeed not suitable for me.”

Ye Qingqiu let go of his collar and got into the car.

“Let’s go to the most luxurious mall in Ping Cheng City.”

“Okay.”

*

After parking the car in the carpark, Ye Qingqiu released her seatbelt. “Brother Ye Ze, come with me.”

Ye Ze replied, “Okay.”

Warmth suddenly surged in Ye Qingqiu’s heart. The words that Ye Ze said the most in front of her were either ‘good’ or ‘yes’. As long as she suggested something, regardless of right or wrong, it would always be the same.

The two of them walked into the elevator and Ye Qingqiu pressed the button for the male outfit.

Most of them were women, and most of them were couples.

Ye Qingqiu was now the bride-to-be in Ping Cheng City. Everyone would recognize her in such a luxurious place.

Whenever she approached a counter, the shop assistants would congratulate her.

“Miss Ye, are you here to buy clothes for Mr Li?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled faintly and didn’t reply.

She crossed her arms and browsed through the clothes on the wardrobe. Occasionally, she would take out a piece and call Ye Ze, who was guarding the door, over to her.

Ye Ze stood upright and allowed Ye Qingqiu to use him as a temporary model.

After shopping for three to four brands and comparing more than ten suits on him, she finally saw a white suit on another counter. She gestured at it and turned to the salesperson beside her. “Let him try this one.”

Ye Ze glanced at the white suit and pursed his lips. After hesitating for two seconds, he couldn’t help but say, “Mr Li probably doesn’t like white.”

“Who cares?”

She turned around and picked out a shirt and tie before giving them to Ye Ze.

She continued browsing the other styles on the wardrobe.

A few minutes later, the door of the fitting room opened and Ye Ze walked out in a white suit.

He was wearing a black shirt and a blue and gray tie. Under his open suit jacket was a white suit vest. A row of black engraved buttons was neatly revealed. He looked gentlemanly and elegant.

He had always worn a standard black suit and was often ordered around by her. However, his skin was fairer than most men.

Such a color that he had never tried before actually suited him.

Ye Qingqiu was very satisfied. “This is it. I’ll wrap it up later.”

“Miss, I’m about the same size as Mr Li.”

“Who said I bought it for him?”

Ye Ze was stunned for a moment. He tried to recall Old Master Ye and Mr Ye, but they didn’t seem to match.

“Could this be…”

“Okay, hurry up and change out of your clothes. Let’s go buy shoes.”

“Miss.” Ye Ze was not used to it. He looked down at his suit. “I work outside often. This suit doesn’t suit me.”

“Who asked you to wear it at work?” Ye Qingqiu found it funny. “Do I have such a bad taste to wear a white high-end suit to drive?”

“Then this is…”

Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “Are you planning to attend my wedding in a suit bought from a small department store?”

Ye Ze was silent for a few seconds. “I’ll prepare it myself.”

“But I don’t trust your taste.”

“At that time, you’ll be sitting at my family’s banquet. You have to support me, Ye Qingqiu, no matter what. If you don’t want it, then don’t attend my wedding.”

Of course, Ye Ze had to attend Ye Qingqiu’s wedding.

However, after hearing Ye Qingqiu’s words, Ye Ze paused. “Can I buy it myself?”

“No.”

Ye Ze silently turned around and entered the fitting room.

Ye Qingqiu smiled in satisfaction and swiped her card.

After that, he bought some shoes. Ye Ze carried a few bags and followed behind Ye Qingqiu for the first time. The bags in his hands were all his own.

Passing by the cafe, Ye Qingqiu walked in and ordered two cups of coffee.

Ye Ze couldn’t continue to act dumb and could only sit opposite Ye Qingqiu.

The tall and handsome man exuded a sense of uneasiness.

Ye Qingqiu propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. She said calmly, “After seeing that wedding gown today, the feeling that I’m finally getting married and about to enter the next stage of life suddenly became stronger. Thinking about my past, although there are very few people around me, they are all the most important to me.”

“I’ve just thought of a question. If you didn’t appear in my life, I can’t imagine what kind of person Ye Qingqiu is now.”

Ye Qingqiu picked up her coffee and took a sip before turning to look at the pedestrians outside the window.

“Ever since I can remember, you’ve been by my side. You’re my friend and my brother. No matter what I do, no matter if it’s right or wrong, you’ll support me unconditionally. No matter where I am, as long as I need you, you’ll appear in front of me immediately.”

You didn’t say anything and went along with me. Then, I got used to it and naturally ignored you.”

Ye Qingqiu looked back and saw the disappointment in Ye Ze’s eyes.

She pursed her lips and smiled gently.

“But if you’re absent from my wedding, I’ll probably be very disappointed. Other than the groom, your absence makes me more regretful and sad than anyone else’s.”

Ye Ze looked at her in surprise.

Ye Qingqiu straightened her body and stirred the coffee in front of her.

“You won’t miss the most important moment of my life, right?”

Ye Ze nodded. “Yes, I’ll always be here.”

Xiao Chu didn’t understand why CEO Li suddenly asked him to follow Madam.

Once Madam went out, Ye Ze would always be by her side.

Today was obviously the same.

With him, wouldn’t that be a lot?

However, when he saw Madam buying clothes and shoes for Ye Ze personally and the two of them chatting in the cafe, he understood why CEO Li wanted him to follow her.

Madam’s words made one panic.

If he didn’t know that she liked CEO Li, some words would be no different from a confession.

And she was very affectionate.

*

After leaving the cafe, she rushed back to the company. It would take more than an hour for Li Tingshen to get off work, not to mention that he habitually left late every day.

Ye Qingqiu asked Ye Ze to go back first with Li Tingshen.

After returning to the office, Li Tingshen faced the computer and typed on the keyboard. When he heard the commotion, he glanced at her.

“You’re not done yet?”

Ye Qingqiu sat on the sofa.

Li Tingshen looked at the computer screen and said expressionlessly, “Aren’t we shopping? What did you buy?”

Ye Qingqiu secretly stuck out her tongue and thought about the consequences of this man being jealous.

“I was just shopping. I didn’t buy much.”

Li Tingshen’s fingers paused on the keyboard.

“I don’t have a target. I’m just strolling around. Is there a need to rush out?”

Ye Qingqiu asked guiltily, “Why are you so anxious?”

Li Tingshen finished the last bit of data, saved it, and turned off the computer.

“Do you want me to investigate or do you want to tell me yourself?”

Ye Qingqiu was annoyed by his aggressive attitude.

“Do you think I’ll really sell you, or do you really think I’ll cheat on you? What can I do to make you investigate me?”

Li Tingshen’s face darkened. “Since you can’t do anything, what can’t you tell me?”

“Who knows if you’ll be jealous of me too?!”

“So you did something that would make me jealous and you still have such an attitude?”

Ye Qingqiu’s arrogance suddenly vanished.

She couldn’t win against this man.

“Then… can you promise not to be angry if I say it?”

Li Tingshen stood up with a cold smile and walked to her side.

“There’s no guarantee, so you don’t have to say anything. As you can imagine, I’ll really eat you up when I’m jealous.”

“Huh?”

Just as Ye Qingqiu was feeling puzzled, her body suddenly lightened and she was pulled into someone’s embrace.

She suddenly realized something and struggled. “Don’t. I haven’t said anything. Why are you jealous?”

“It’s already obvious.”

He kicked open the door of the lounge and pressed her into the blanket…

“Li Tingshen, I think we should restrain ourselves and give the wedding night a sense of anticipation…”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“But I’m not looking forward to it…”

“Ha.”

Once the man laughed, she had no room to speak.

She had been bullied by the man again.

Ye Qingqiu kicked him angrily.

She didn’t have much strength and it didn’t hurt.

Not long after, Xiao Chu’s call came.

Li Tingshen got up to answer the call, as if there was something he needed to do. He asked her to wait obediently before leaving the office.

Although Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much strength, it would be too spineless of her to wait obediently.

She got out of bed and left the office.

Most of the people in the company were preparing to get off work. She wandered to the engineering department.

Anyway, it was normal for them to stay up late and work overtime. She also knew that they avoided her.

If their boss provoked her, she couldn’t afford to provoke him. It was fine if he came to cause trouble for them.

As expected, the moment Ye Qingqiu appeared, everyone in the office sat up straight and the sound of typing became louder.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and scanned the office. She didn’t see the high-level employee who usually hung around here, so she walked towards his office.

“Madam, the high-level worker didn’t come to work today.”

The programmer beside her kindly reminded her that they were in a miserable state. The high-level workers were even worse. As long as this little ancestor came to the company, they would be harmed every day.

This employee must have been tortured badly. He didn’t even dare to apply for leave.

Ye Qingqiu was puzzled. “Why didn’t I hear that he took leave?”

There are many things that you have never heard of.

“The high-level employee didn’t apply for leave today. He should be punished for absenteeism.”

“Oh, it’s been hard on him. I’ll tell your boss later and ask him to be lenient.”

As she spoke, she pulled a chair and sat beside him. “I’m in a bad mood. Get me a warrior who looks like Li Tingshen. I want to beat him up to vent my anger.”

The programmer was speechless.
