Chapter 2095 : She Was Too Easy to Coax Back Then “You have nothing to be sorry for. Even if you die, it has nothing to do with me.”
Ye Qingqiu’s driver couldn’t stand it anymore. “Miss…”
That was too much.
She had just escaped from the gates of hell and was still feeling a lingering fear. It was really ominous to hear this.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and fell silent for a while. He raised his hand to wipe his face. The redness on his hand made him pause for a moment. He placed his hand in front of him and turned to look at the driver.
“Send them back first. I’ll stay behind and wait for the traffic police to arrive…”
“What you should do now is go to the hospital immediately and not wait for the traffic police.”
Ye Zhenzhen’s voice sounded. She frowned and her face was cold.
“She has a high fever and got into a car accident. If this drags on, she will either become a fool or be knocked down. Otherwise, she will become a fool. It’s good that she doesn’t have the ability to behave normally. That way, she can save on child support.”
Li Tingshen’s body stiffened.
The chauffeur replied, “Yes, CEO Li, hurry to the hospital. Your health is more important.”
*
Because the car was almost scrapped and she had to go to the hospital, she had to take Ye Qingqiu’s car.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything and got into the car to hug Linlin.
Linlin’s face was pale as well. She stayed obediently in Ye Qingqiu’s embrace and grabbed her clothes tightly.
“Mommy, I just saw Daddy… bleeding a lot…”
Ye Qingqiu felt Linlin’s body trembling slightly.
She hugged him even tighter.
“Yes… but it doesn’t matter. Daddy is smart. He must know how to minimize the danger in an emergency.”
The driver got into the car first. When he heard her words, he sighed.
“Missy, in terms of minimizing the danger, under the premise that the car accident is inevitable, President Li doesn’t turn the steering wheel. Maintaining a straight path and stepping on the brakes is the least dangerous.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Is there something wrong with his brain?”
The driver shook his head and said, “Because the car in front will definitely hit our car…”
Ye Qingqiu’s heart skipped a beat.
The driver looked up and saw Ye Shaoxun pushing Li Tingshen out of the front passenger seat with a cold face.
“We’re fine now. Even if we’re not injured, you, Young Madam, and Young Master will definitely be shocked.”
The door of the passenger seat opened and Li Tingshen was almost stuffed in by Ye Shaoxun.
Ye Qingqiu hugged Linlin’s struggling body tightly and looked at the rearview mirror. Her gaze met Li Tingshen’s.
“Mommy, I want to see Daddy…”
Ye Qingqiu retracted her gaze.
“Daddy is fine. Linlin, be good. We have to send him to Daddy’s hospital first.”
She didn’t want Linlin to see his head full of blood.
*
After a series of examinations, the doctor didn’t look too good.
“What’s going on? He’s running a high fever and he’s still driving? Even if he drives home safely, he’ll probably become a fool.”
Doctors hated such non-principled patients the most, especially those who gambled with their lives.
After being reprimanded, Ye Qingqiu asked coldly, “How is he now?”
“She has a concussion and her head injury needs stitches. She’s hospitalized today. Her fever has subsided!”
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. Stitches, concussion…
None of them sounded reassuring.
At that moment, the nurse ran over, her face full of tears.
The doctor asked her, “What happened?”
The young nurse was holding a pair of scissors.
“Director, that patient with the high fever refused to let me shave his head… He’s so scary.”
Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
The doctor closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Is your life more important or your hair?”
The nurse sobbed. “Director, you should tell this to that patient. I know…”
The director was speechless.
“Why did you shave your head?” Ye Qingqiu asked.
“His wound needs stitches. The hair near the wound needs to be shaved.”
The doctor’s answer made Ye Qingqiu fall silent for a while. She pursed her lips and asked, “Can’t I not shave?”
“No way.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
The doctor looked at Ye Qingqiu and asked, “Do you have a solution?”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “No.”
“Then… let him hold on?”
Ye Qingqiu frowned.
*
When Ye Qingqiu arrived, Li Tingshen’s face was still dark.
“If you’re the nurse’s reinforcement…”
“I am.” Ye Qingqiu interrupted Li Tingshen and walked in front of him. She raised her hand and fiddled with his head twice before finding the wound. It was slightly behind his left diaphragm.
“Even if you shave a strand of hair, it will be covered by the hair above. I can’t tell, but new hair will grow in the future. Are you sure you’re doing this for a strand of hair?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “You’ll despise me.”
Ye Qingqiu paused for a moment. “…I don’t think I like you that much now, especially when you can’t tell the difference between right and wrong. You’re even more annoying.”
Compared to not liking her, it was more annoying and unacceptable.
It was just a handful of hair. He couldn’t accept it. The nurse had to shave as little as possible.
After that, she pressed her hair and it was not difficult to notice.
However, when she saw Li Tingshen’s sinister and ugly face, Ye Qingqiu couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Although she had only shaved a portion of her hair… she felt that she was incomplete.
Because she had shaved her head for a long time, she had already fallen asleep.
Linlin lay by his bed and watched him fall asleep. Then, she turned to look at Ye Qingqiu and whispered,
“Mommy, Daddy seems to be asleep.”
Ye Qingqiu glanced at Li Tingshen and pursed her lips. She walked to the bed and carried Linlin.
“Alright, we should go back.”
Linlin pouted in disappointment. “Are you leaving Daddy here alone?”
“Someone will take care of him.”
Linlin didn’t say anything else. She looked past Ye Qingqiu’s shoulder at Li Tingshen, who was lying on the bed, with a worried expression.
Opening the door, Ye Lixun stood there.
When he saw her, he was surprised.
“Go back?”
“Yeah.”
Just as she reached the entrance of the hospital, Xiao Chu rushed over.
“Miss Ye.”
“He’s in Room V2010.”
Xiao Chu wanted to say something, but she didn’t. Ye Qingqiu didn’t give him the chance either.
On the way back, the sky had already darkened. Linlin fell asleep in Ye Qingqiu’s arms because she was too tired.
Ye Qingqiu also closed her eyes.
Ye Lixun was silent all the way. When they approached the Qingqiu Villa, she suddenly said,
“I’ll ask you again. Do you want to leave with me?”
Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes and turned to look at her. “Why did you ask again?”
The car stopped at the entrance of Qingqiu Villa and Ye Qingqiu alighted with Linlin in her arms.
Ye Lixun opened the car door herself. “Are the two of you going to waste time like this? Qingqiu, if you don’t want to be involved with him in the future, if three years isn’t enough, then go on for another three, five, or ten years. Otherwise, don’t waste time and just continue to be together. You clearly have feelings for each other, but you still want to torture each other. The people around you feel tired to death. If you can’t get over the hurdle in your heart, then…”
Ye Lixun glanced at Linlin, who was in Ye Qingqiu’s arms, and said in a hopeless tone, “Then it’s for Linlin.”
“Why do we have to be together?” Ye Qingqiu carried Linlin and walked upstairs. “I can get along with him peacefully now. If he wants to see Linlin, I won’t stop him. All developments are good. The most ideal outcome is that we won’t be together.”
“What about in the future? You’re still young. If you’re not with him, will you find another man?”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “…If I meet someone I like or someone suitable, I’ll naturally consider it.”
“Oh, so you’ll consider finding a stepfather for Linlin.”
She opened Linlin’s room and bent down to place him on the bed. “That’s for the future. Do you think I’ll find a sadist?”
Ye Lixun pursed her lips. “Do you think you’ll find a man who loves you more than him?”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I won’t love him anyway. As long as that person loves me a little, I’ll earn.”
Ye Lixun’s face darkened.
“You’re really thorough.”
Ye Qingqiu turned around nonchalantly and said, “I’m going down to see what’s for dinner. I’m a little hungry.”
*
Dinner had long been prepared. When Ye Qingqiu came down to ask, the servants immediately served the dishes.
She sat on a chair and instructed the servants, “Prepare some porridge and side dishes for Young Master. Wait for him to wake up.”
“Okay.”
Ye Qingqiu picked up her chopsticks and added some dishes for Ye Lixun.
“Linlin is still young. I don’t have the time or energy to date now. Auntie is thinking too far ahead.”
Ye Lixun picked up her chopsticks with a cold expression.
“Ye Qingqiu, don’t mess around.”
Ye Qingqiu chuckled. “What can I do? No matter what, I have to consider Linlin.”
Ye Lixun didn’t say anything else.
Ye Qingqiu woke him up at eight in the evening. She fed him and took a shower.
It was already past eleven o’clock at night.
*
After the drip, Li Tingshen was woken up by the sound of the nurse’s footsteps.
She scanned the ward. Other than the nurse, there was only Xiao Chu.
“CEO Li, you’re awake!”
Li Tingshen’s eyes were bloodshot.
His dark gaze swept across the ward again before he spoke weakly.
“What about them?”
Xiao Chu paused and said slowly, “Miss Ye and Young Master have already gone back.”
Li Tingshen stared at the ceiling and waited for the nurse to remove the syringe. His eyes flickered before he got off the bed.
Feeling dizzy, Li Tingshen paused for a moment before picking up his coat and walking out.
“CEO Li, what are you doing?”
Li Tingshen waved him away and asked Xiao Chu for his car keys.
Xiao Chu walked up and said, “Let me drive. Your fever hasn’t subsided.”
As Xiao Chu spoke, she strode out.
*
The car finally stopped at Qingqiu Manor.
Li Tingshen got out of the car and said hoarsely, “Go back and rest first.”
“… Okay.”
Xiao Chu had no choice but to agree.
He turned the car around and left.
Li Tingshen looked up. Ye Qingqiu’s room was still lit.
a.m.
Relieved, he walked to the porch and leaned against the pillar he’d leaned against all night.
That was good.
That was good.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Qingqiu came out of the bathroom. Her hair was half dry and the shoulders of her pajamas were wet.
But she still lifted the blanket and lay down.
She went to the amusement park today. Although she didn’t do anything, she was still tired after wandering for a day. Especially after witnessing a car accident, she rushed to the hospital and returned home.
The day had indeed been torturous.
The fatigue from her body was clear, but when she lay on the bed and was about to sleep, the scenes that happened during the day replayed in her mind like a movie.
From meeting Li Tingshen in the morning to his car accident and hospitalization.
The last thing that lingered in his mind was Li Tingshen’s bloody face and the driver’s words.
“Because the company hit the car in front. The car in front will definitely hit our car.”
“Even if we might not be injured, you, Young Madam, and Young Master will definitely be shocked.”
Her grip on the edge of the blanket tightened and she closed her eyes tightly.
After another two minutes, the bedroom light dimmed.
Li Tingshen’s thoughts were in a mess. He didn’t think of anything and there was only one thought in his mind. His motionless body had almost become an instinct.
She would stay here and not let Ye Qingqiu leave.
Because she didn’t sleep with Ye Lixun at night, she woke up according to her usual routine. At seven in the morning, she habitually went for a walk to stretch her back.
After breakfast, she went out and saw a familiar figure leaning against a pillar.
If she wasn’t overly clear-headed and if Li Tingshen didn’t have a white bandage wrapped around his head, she would have suspected that she was still thinking about yesterday.
When Li Tingshen saw her, he moved and his body became slower than yesterday.
He raised his hand to support himself against the pillar and stood up. He didn’t retract his hand like yesterday. Instead, he maintained his posture of supporting the pillar and looked at Ye Lixun.
“Good morning.”
That hoarse voice made Ye Lixun’s scalp tingle, afraid that he would bleed.
“You…” For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. “Aren’t you in the hospital?”
Li Tingshen didn’t answer but asked, “Are you leaving today?”
Ye Lixun pursed her lips and walked out.
“Do you think her heart will ache after doing this to yourself?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips lightly. “She won’t fall for that.”
So he wasn’t deliberately trying to gain sympathy.
Ye Lixun took a deep breath and looked at him. “Then what do you want? What do you want between you and her?”
“Since you know her so well, you should know what she’s thinking. She doesn’t want to be with you, or you should know how to get her to be with you…”
Li Tingshen remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, his hoarse voice sounded—
“She said she loved me and I made her angry. As long as I coaxed her, she would forgive me.”
“She doesn’t love me now. I’ve made her angry, but I can’t coax her anymore…”
Ye Lixun’s heart skipped a beat and she was caught off guard.
“Back then, she always said that she was the one who maintained our relationship. She loved me openly. Everyone knew that she was afraid of losing me and that I wouldn’t want her. But I’ve always known that if she insisted on leaving, I was the one who had no choice.”
How could he admit that he loved her?
“Is it useful for me to say that I love her?”
Ye Lixun bit her lips as a sense of helplessness overwhelmed her.
It was useless.
That was why he was so stubborn back then and refused to let Qingqiu leave.
His love could not restrain Qingqiu.
