Chapter 2016: The First Cup of Milk Tea in Autumn

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and hooked Li Tingshen’s tie. She pulled it out and twirled it in her hand.
“Comrade Li Tingshen, you’re only three years older than me. Why are you so conservative in certain matters?”
Li Tingshen lowered his gaze to watch her fair and slender fingers twirling the tie in front of him.
“But you don’t seem to have much willpower. You didn’t think of doing anything with me when you were 18, but in the end, you still slept with me…”
Her words were gentle and soft, and her tone was long. An 18-year-old woman was as charming as a little vixen in front of him.
!!
He reached out to grab her hand and said in a low and warm voice, “Have I made a mistake in my self-control?”
Her natural voice was pleasant to the ears no matter what. Now that there were only the two of them in the study, her low voice made the atmosphere seem as though something could happen at any time.
“Even if it’s my fault, it shouldn’t be entirely my fault. Why do I only have poor self-control towards you? You should reflect on yourself.”
Ye Qingqiu snorted and retracted her hand.
She had seen people push the blame to others, but she couldn’t be better at making the person who took the blame feel better.
She propped her toes on the ground. “Alright, I’ll reflect on it now.” As she spoke, she faced the computer and bent down to sit in Li Tingshen’s arms.
Her so-called “reflection” was to hold the mouse and look at the blueprint again before planning seriously.
“Book two rooms for the babies first. One room needs to be pink, with a pink princess bed and a white veil. This corner is empty for the toys…”
“The other one is blue. Hmm… What do boys like? Do you want to design a theme? Is it a Transformer, a sports car, or something else? What did you boys like when you were young?”
Li Tingshen said, “Tanks, planes, excavators.”
Ye Qingqiu paused and turned to look at him. “Excavator? Are you sure?”
Li Tingshen smirked. “You don’t understand the happiness of a man.”
Ye Qingqiu blinked and said, “I don’t understand.”
She believed him for now.
Facing the computer again, Ye Qingqiu moved to their bedroom. “In our room, the colors are pink and blue. I want four lights by the bed and a full floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains have to be white…”
“The living room has a good gray tone. Then, the balcony…”
“Are you planning to build a playground here? That requires a long slide, a bumper car, and a merry-go-round… Do you want to put two more basketball frames? We can play basketball with them then. Of course, badminton is fine too…”
“Oh right, I want a piano room. I don’t want a studio. The study room has to be big. When you work, I can accompany you in the study room. You can work while I draw you…”
In the afternoon, Ye Qingqiu talked a lot.
She seemed to have a lot of plans for the future. Every plan and every detail had his shadow.
When she said this, she could even feel the scenes in the plan unfolding before her eyes, as if she had really experienced it herself.
Simple, very simple. Everything sounded too normal, just like three meals a day.
However, her expression was not as simple as three meals a day.
It was rare to see her so sincere.
“Who said you don’t know anything? You can be a renovation designer.”
Li Tingshen finally grabbed her waist and placed her on the desk. Then, he stood up and poured her a glass of warm water.
Ye Qingqiu placed her hand on the table and swayed her leg. She took the cup with interest still written all over her face.
“I naturally think that what I want is the best. I can’t serve others…”
Li Tingshen also had a glass of water in his hand. He took a sip and nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, it’s not realistic for you to cater to the preferences of others.”
Ye Qingqiu took two sips of water and held the cup in her hand. Her gaze was still on the computer screen.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and turned off the computer.
“Don’t overdo it, Madam Li. You’ve been staring at it for the entire afternoon.”
Ye Qingqiu was a little disappointed and melancholic. “I feel like there’s something I didn’t consider…”
“It’s just a blueprint now. Those plans of yours can wait until the house is built. Let’s go.”
If she didn’t leave, he felt that she might stay in the study tonight.
Ye Qingqiu was helpless, but she still jumped down from the table and walked out of the study in a good mood.
How could Li Tingshen not tell that she was still thinking of a plan?
*
No one felt that what they had done was wrong. They were responsible for everything.
It was the same for Ye Qingqiu.
She felt that she was too easy to coax.
She could accept whatever Li Tingshen did.
At least so far, that was right.
The anger that she felt back then was gone just like that.
During dinner, Ye Qingqiu asked Li Tingshen what he planned to do.
When he mentioned Qin Hao back then, his answer wasn’t wrong.
Liang Xuer hadn’t spent so much money on the hot search yet.
Moreover, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to use her name to do these things. Once she found out, even if she wasn’t afraid of Li Tingshen, she wouldn’t want to lose his good impression of her again.
Ye Ze’s message was obvious.
Qin Hao was still lying in the hospital. Most people knew what had happened, but they didn’t know the details.
Back then, Qin Jianjia wanted to force herself on Liang Xuer, so Liang Xuer was a normal woman. No matter what happened, she wouldn’t appear in the hospital. Even if she did, she should have personally removed his oxygen tube.
However, Liang Xuer went to the hospital fully armed and entered Qin Hao’s ward. She didn’t remove Qin Hao’s oxygen tube. Qin Hao was alive and well and even had the chance to trip Li Tingshen.
Although Liang Xuer was silly, she had done a good job.
She knew that she had made use of Qin Hao to stand out and become the center of public opinion. She carried a bad reputation and became the victim. Not only did she clear her doubts, but she had also let her, who had slapped her twice in front of so many people and threatened to kick her out of the production team, become the number one suspect in everyone’s heart.
Then, everyone pitied Liang Xuer for being exploited by her, a “capital with power and influence”. Li Tingshen would suspect her and affect his son’s career. He would bully his favorite girl and come out to “fix” her and his son.
Was Liang Xuer stupid?
She was simply too smart.
“The Qin family can’t do anything now.” Li Tingshen was expressionless. His shares had plummeted and the company was in chaos. His hands were empty and he couldn’t produce any decent scripts. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “From the looks of it, Qin Hao didn’t want you to have a good life. Although he didn’t succeed, he did give you a blow.”
“Yes, I shouldn’t have given him any leeway.”
Li Tingshen didn’t intend to say anything. Ye Qingqiu guessed that he had made a decision.
