Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Qingqiu swayed her legs.
“Li Tingshen, I really want to play here.”
Yin Ruijue scratched his forehead and said, “Bro, the place has been cleared. If the little princess wants to play, she can play more…”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and looked at him. “That’s right. I’m already here. In less than two minutes, what’s the difference between coming here for nothing?”
Li Tingshen remained unmoved.
“One hour, just one hour.” Ye Qingqiu lowered her request again.
Li Tingshen finally stopped and turned to look at the bar that had been cleared. Then, he looked at Ye Qingqiu’s expectant gaze before bending down to put her down.
“Half an hour.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned.
Li Tingshen wanted to hug her again.
“Okay, okay, okay. Half an hour!”
Ye Qingqiu jumped away and walked towards the booth.
Li Tingshen watched as the others made way for her. Ye Qingqiu stood in the middle of the booth and pulled open her coat before retreating to the waiter.
Everyone in Ping Cheng City knew that the little princess of the Ye family was beautiful.
Wearing a slightly thick down jacket, they were all stunned.
However, when she took off her jacket and revealed the dark red retro gown, everyone was still stunned.
The impact of facing her was much stronger than when he saw her from afar.
She was delicate to begin with, and her skin was so fair that it made people envious. Now that she was wearing this dark red velvet dress, her fair skin was even more eye-catching, and her waist was slender.
The design of the collar revealed her exquisite collarbone, which was connected to her beautiful neck. No matter how one looked at it, she was the most beautiful and bright one.
While everyone agreed with her beauty, they also felt that won should be pampered like her. A princess like her should be domineering, arrogant, and arrogant…
It didn’t matter to her how bad a woman everyone hated was.
Because she had the capital.
It was difficult for everyone to look away from her.
Yin Shi’s family background, beautiful face, and good figure…
It was a blessing to have such a woman.
Ye Qingqiu seed to be used to this kind of gaze. She didn’t have any other expression and bent down to sit.
The waiter brought a new glass and helped to pour the wine.
Ye Qingqiu picked up her glass and smiled when she saw Li Tingshen walking over. “Happy birthday.”
With that, she raised her glass.
“I dare you to take a sip.”
Li Tingshen’s cold voice suddenly sounded. Ye Qingqiu paused and looked at Li Tingshen’s cold and threatening gaze.
“I’m wishing you a happy birthday,” she said with an aggrieved expression. Her tone was even more aggrieved. She was clearly pretending, but she looked like she was about to cry.
Everyone looked at Li Tingshen with dissatisfaction.
It was full of accusations.
“I’m not happy anymore,” Li Tingshen said calmly as his gaze landed on her for a few seconds.
Yin Ruijue couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’m not a child anymore. Aren’t you being too strict? Besides, what can happen if I drink a little under your nose? Ye Qingqiu, co, let’s drink first.”
Ye Qingqiu glanced at Li Tingshen. “Okay?”
Her obedient and docile look gave Li Tingshen plenty of face.
“Oh my god…”
Yin Ruijue felt his stomach tighten.
Not only did she have a good family background and was beautiful, but she was also so obedient. Who would be envious of her?
Li Tingshen had benefited too much…
Li Tingshen had never seen her so docile before.
He knew that she was giving him face outside. Was he going to compromise now?
“If you don’t speak, I’ll drink it…”
After Ye Qingqiu finished speaking, she tilted her glass and took a sip.
Li Tingshen watched as she drank the wine and pursed his lips.
This wine was a little spicy…
Ye Qingqiu didn’t like it, but seeing Li Tingshen’s expression, she found it refreshing and swallowed two mouthfuls.
Seeing Li Tingshen’s face darken, Ye Qingqiu finally put down her glass.
She looked a little disgusted. “It doesn’t taste good…”
Yin Ruijue said, “Why don’t I make you a glass of sweet wine?”
Ye Qingqiu nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
He made her look like a minor.
However, looking at Li Tingshen’s expression…
On his birthday, he was the oldest.
Li Tingshen seed to be on ti. After half an hour, he pulled Ye Qingqiu, who had drunk two glasses of sweet wine, and left without a word.
“Sigh…”
Yin Ruijue took a look at the ti and the corners of his lips twitched. He didn’t chase after her.
Li Tingshen found her clothes and helped her put them on. Looking at her dazed expression, his handso face tensed up.
In the parking lot behind the bar, Xiao Chu was already waiting for him.
Seeing Li Tingshen pulling Ye Qingqiu out, she hurriedly opened the car door.

In the end, she had not co into contact with strong alcohol. The mont she was pulled up by Li Tingshen, Ye Qingqiu understood why Li Tingshen was unwilling to let her drink the alcohol.
Dizziness.
He felt dizzy all the way and Li Tingshen walked so quickly.
Now that she was sitting in the car, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Frowning, she leaned into Li Tingshen’s embrace and snorted. “Li Tingshen, I’m dizzy.”
Xiao Chu got into the car and saw Li Tingshen gritting his teeth through the rearview mirror.
She raised an eyebrow and started the car skillfully.
Not getting a response, Ye Qingqiu raised her head and rested her chin on his chest. Her face was flushed and her beautiful eyes were misty.
“Li Tingshen, I’m dizzy. Rub my head.”
Li Tingshen lowered his chin and looked at her coldly.
“You should.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned and kissed his chin.
“I’m going to faint…”
Her voice sounded like she was crying, as though she was trying to please soone.
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened slightly.
“You better rember what kind of person you are now. If you dare to touch again, I can consider soaking you in a wine vat.”
“I’m not drinking anymore. I’m not making any alcohol…”
Ye Qingqiu pressed her face against his chest and mumbled.
A few seconds later, she felt a hand on her temple.
Her lips twitched. She was quiet and obedient.
Not long after, his fingers brushed through her hair and massaged her scalp gently. There was a rustling sound on her head and her heartbeat.
She nearly fell asleep, but she had sothing important to do.
Afraid that sleeping would delay her, she got up from his embrace and reached into her pocket for a long ti before taking out a box.
“It’s a birthday present for you.”
Xiao Chu stole a glance at him through the rearview mirror.
Li Tingshen took it and opened it. It was a watch, not a top brand.
It should be a relatively niche Swiss brand and the price was not high.
Unlike Ye Qingqiu, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Not to ntion giving it to him.
Ye Qingqiu lay in his arms again and waved her fingers.
“Thanks to them…”
Li Tingshen looked over, not knowing what she was talking about.
“But I still have to trouble them for a few days to repay their debts…”
Her words were a little difficult to string together, but the last two words made Li Tingshen narrow his eyes slightly.
“What debt repaynt?”
Who did Ye Qingqiu owe money to?
This might be a joke if word got out.
Ye Qingqiu’s gaze landed on the box in his hand. Her fingers caressed the dial as she said softly, “I wanted to give you a ring, but it’s not that expensive…”
“Since it’s inconvenient to wear it on the finger, it’s fine to wear it on the wrist. The blood vessels of the ring finger are connected to the heart… Then the wrist must be the sa…”
As she spoke, she interlocked her fingers with Li Tingshen’s. “It’s not just my ring finger, I’ve hooked everything, right?”
Li Tingshen looked at her clenched fists with a gentle expression.
“Yes.”
“So you better wear this watch for the rest of your life. You can’t lose it or let it stop…”
She picked up the watch and put it on her wrist.
The design was simple and would never seem outdated.
The silver watch chain was placed on Li Tingshen’s fair wrist. It matched his aura.
She smiled in satisfaction and kissed his wrist gently.
Li Tingshen looked at her and stroked her hair.
“Whose debt do you owe?”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t respond to his question. “I don’t want to go back to the Ye family. Daddy will scold …”
“Yes, let’s go to my place first.”
*
Actually, she was just dizzy, but her mind was clear.
On the way, she felt much better in Li Tingshen’s arms.
After all, she wouldn’t really lose consciousness just because of two mouthfuls of alcohol.
But when she got out of the car, she still took the opportunity to act shalessly.
“Li Tingshen, look at my face. I’m drunk. Carry ho.”
Li Tingshen’s face darkened as he watched her expression improve.
“Are you born in the 10,000-year-old ice family? Your face is hot. Help apply it.”
Li Tingshen couldn’t be bothered to argue with her in such cold weather. He bent down to carry her out of the car, but she rejected him.
“I want to carry it.”
“Ye Qingqiu!”
“I want to carry…”
Li Tingshen was speechless.
The elevator rose from the first floor to the floor where Li Tingshen’s apartnt was. A notification sounded and the elevator door opened.
In the corridor, a slightly curled figure suddenly straightened her back and walked to the elevator excitedly.
When she saw the person in the elevator, the expression on her face froze.
Li Tingshen carried Ye Qingqiu out of the elevator and looked at the tall and slender woman in a brown windbreaker and high heels.
“What’s the matter?”
There were two apartnts on this floor. The other apartnt had been bought by soone else, but no one had stayed there.
It was impossible for Liang Xuer to find an empty house. Moreover, her appearance here could only be related to him.
When Ye Qingqiu heard the voice, she rested her chin on Li Tingshen’s shoulder and looked at him calmly.
There was no expression on her face, but Liang Xuer felt that she was mocking her, especially since they were facing her in this manner.
How far had their relationship progressed? Li Tingshen had actually agreed to let Ye Qingqiu climb onto his shoulders and bend his back. He even wanted to protect her and bring her to his apartnt in the middle of the night.
However, reality wouldn’t give her so much ti to think about these doubts, nor was she in a position to ask them.
She could only bite the bullet and say, “Aunt Lian said that Yin Ruijue got soone to celebrate your birthday. I couldn’t find you, so I could only wait here for you to co back. Happy birthday.”
As she spoke, she didn’t know what to do with the box in her hand.
Li Tingshen was protecting the woman on his back and couldn’t accept her gift.
The only way was to put Ye Qingqiu down.
Ye Qingqiu turned her head slightly, wanting to see Li Tingshen’s reaction. However, she only saw his side profile.
There was no fluctuation.
Only her breath landed on his neck. Light, warm and ticklish.
She had no idea.
“Help take it.”
Li Tingshen naturally saw what she was holding and couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush. He turned his head and said to the woman on his shoulder.
Ye Qingqiu blinked and reacted. She obediently extended her hand.
Liang Xuer tightened her grip on the box.
“You’re overthinking, right? She doesn’t seem to be for you.” Ye Qingqiu turned her head and said to Li Tingshen.
Liang Xuer’s face was tense. In the end, she handed the box to Ye Qingqiu.
“Rest early.”
After all, he had accepted the gift. Li Tingshen said casually as he carried Ye Qingqiu and walked past her.
