His voice was low and hoarse, but it carried a seductive sexiness. The last syllable made Ye Qingqiu’s eyes tremble imperceptibly.

This reminded her of the many times he had pestered her a long time ago. His thin lips had pressed against her ear.

It was either evil, gentle, or embarrassing.

Ye Qingqiu raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes flickered. She smiled and said, “Oh… I think I said that.”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes.

“That’s the truth! Everyone thinks I’m right.”

“Everyone?”

Li Tingshen’s face, eyes, and voice were all dark and threatening.

He looked at her, wondering what he should say to stir up the emotions in her beautiful eyes.

However, after racking his brains, he felt that she couldn’t care too much about everything between them.

He leaned closer to her, his muscular chest pressing against her body.

His grip on her chin loosened and a few red marks appeared on her fair chin.

“You’re so delicate.” He lowered his gaze and looked at the red mark on her chin. His warm fingers caressed it gently. He seemed to have thought of something and his eyes narrowed.

“What brand of clothes are you wearing?”

“Chanel.”

“What brand of perfume is she wearing?”

“Firebird.”

“Do you like the earrings?”

“Not bad.”

“Or am I starving you?”

“Not really.”

Li Tingshen sneered in a low voice, “You like food and clothes, right? Huh?”

Ye Qingqiu hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “I seem to like all of them.”

“I don’t lack you to eat, nor do I lack you to wear. I’ve prepared everything according to your preferences. Ye Qingqiu, even a Bodhisattva is not as precious as you. How am I inferior to you? What right do you have to cry about being poor in front of those people?”

“Because I’m unwilling.”

Ye Qingqiu raised her head slightly with her usual smile. She subconsciously retracted her hand that was grabbing Li Tingshen’s shirt and placed it on the wall behind her.

“I like everything, but it doesn’t mean that it’s what I want. Why should I show off what you gave me? If I really show off and make your darling Xu’er cry, you’ll have to go through so much trouble to coax her.”

However, I really don’t have the face to say that. Not only am I a kept woman, but I’m also a kept woman by my ex-husband. If others knew about this, they would say that I’m despicable. It’s not like all the men in the world are dead.”

Li Tingshen looked at her bright and charming face, and his eyes darkened. The smile on his lips was chilling.

“You should know that there’s no good ending for angering me.”

“I don’t think my ending is any better.”

The washroom fell silent.

Ye Qingqiu’s tensed body relaxed as she leaned against the wall. She looked at the man’s handsome face and smiled seductively.

“If there’s nothing else, I think I have to go back. Don’t you think it’s beneath your status to chat in such a place, CEO Li?”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes. “Are you afraid of embarrassing me, or are you afraid that the class monitor will come looking for you if you don’t return?”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t deny it. “Both… It doesn’t seem right to let him see us like this.”

“Not too good?” Li Tingshen sneered. “Are you afraid that you won’t be Mrs. Song?”

Ye Qingqiu pushed Li Tingshen’s chest away. “I’m also worried that if your beloved finds out, I won’t have a good time. I don’t even have anyone to support me now. If she has her eyes on me, I can only be bullied.”

She leaned against the wall to avoid Li Tingshen’s embrace.

Li Tingshen retracted his arm from the wall.

He stood up straight and looked at her.

“Thank you for taking care of me these few days. I’ll avoid unnecessary trouble in the future. Why don’t I go back to that house this time?”

Li Tingshen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.

This man exuded a damned elegance even as a smoker.

A few seconds later, he suddenly sneered. “Are you discussing with me?”

“It’s obvious.”

“That won’t do.” He looked up at her and repeated, “I don’t agree.”

Ye Qingqiu smirked. “That’s really a headache.”

She seemed to mutter as she turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Her body was stained with the smell of smoke from the washroom. She frowned and turned to return to the female washroom.

When she returned, Song Zixian was already drunk. Only Song Zixian seemed to be waiting for her.

Seeing her return, his tense expression relaxed slightly. “Are you okay?”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “I’m just going to the washroom. What can happen?”

At the same time, the door of the private room beside them opened and Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer walked out side by side.

Song Zixian didn’t notice them and said, “I just… saw Li Tingshen… coming back from the washroom.”

Ye Qingqiu shook her wet hand and found it funny. “Really? I’m not sure. Facts have proven that I didn’t enter the washroom by mistake. Otherwise, we might have met and greeted each other.”

Song Zixian looked down at her damp hands and reached for a few napkins. “Why aren’t you wiping your hands?”

Ye Qingqiu reached out to take it and wiped it casually.

Her fingers were as fair as jade, slender and fair under the light.

“It’s fun.”

Song Zixian smiled gently. “You haven’t changed at all.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Li Tingshen was stunned for a moment.

Nothing had changed?

Was Song Zixian blind?

“Tingshen?” A soft voice sounded beside him. It wasn’t loud, but it was loud enough for the two people beside him to hear.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

Liang Xuer pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Ye Qingqiu and Song Zixian. She nodded and left.

Song Zixian whispered to Xu Qingzhi, “Do you want to go downstairs to take a look? There’s a program downstairs.”

“Sure.”

Ye Qingqiu replied without hesitation.

The two of them walked towards the lift.

Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer pressed the elevator button.

Clearly, their event today had come to an end.

Song Zixian and Xu Qingzhi followed behind and pressed the down button on the other elevator.

Ye Qingqiu threw the napkin into the trash can beside the elevator.

Song Zixian looked at her clean hands and smiled. “I remember that you liked those beautiful nails since high school. Are you not doing them now?”

Ye Qingqiu paused and quietly lowered her hand.
