Xiao Chu didn’t continue and glanced at Li Tingshen.

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and walked over.

Lian Lili stood aside with a cold face and watched him open the office door before following him in.

Xiao Chu could vaguely hear Lian Lili asking Li Tingshen, “Do you know why I’m here today?”

This question…

He scratched his forehead and walked to the side.

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly stopped on the first floor. Xiao Chu’s eyebrows twitched and she knew that something was wrong. Before she could do anything, she saw Ye Qingqiu walking out of the elevator with two bags.

He hurried forward and reached out to take the bag from her.

“Miss Ye, you might have to wait a while longer. CEO Li… hasn’t… dismissed the meeting.”

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at him. “Special Assistant Xiao, are you feeling unwell today?”

Xiao Chu smiled awkwardly and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. “…No.”

Ye Qingqiu had never given much thought to others. She didn’t care about Xiao Chu’s strange behavior today and walked towards Li Tingshen’s office.

“It’s okay. I can wait for him in his office. There’s no hurry.”

Xiao Chu wanted to stand in front of Ye Qingqiu several times. She didn’t want her to approach the office, but she didn’t dare to do so.

With such an obvious rejection, no one could not tell that there was a problem.

“Miss Ye…”

“Li Tingshen!”

Ye Qingqiu stopped outside the office.

The first sentence was Xiao Chu’s helpless struggle.

The last sentence came from Lian Lili in the office.

Xiao Chu closed his eyes. Especially when Ye Qingqiu looked at him silently, it made him feel even more awkward.

“What do you want? Do you want to warn Xu’er not to say too much in front of me? Since you don’t want me to worry, why don’t you agree to her request? It’s not that she doesn’t have the right. Many agencies are fighting to get her. Now that she wants to sign with you, you’re despising her like this? How many times has she failed? She can’t even see you? How can this be?!”

“This is my company’s business. I can decide for myself if she has the right or not.”

“What judgment do you have? Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. It’s because of Ye Qingqiu again, right? How much do you want to please her?”

“Since you know that I’m trying to please her, don’t cause trouble for me again and again because of Liang Xuer.”

Standing outside the door, Ye Qingqiu frowned.

Pleasing?

Trying to please her in front of Lian Lili?

She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head, subconsciously wanting to hear more.

“Then how much do you want Xu’er to suffer? If Xu’er isn’t Xu’er, shouldn’t it be natural to sign her? Didn’t they say that Ye Qingqiu is very obedient and sensible? If you explain it to her, she shouldn’t object…”

“Since everyone thinks highly of Liang Xuer, it’s better for her to sign the contract elsewhere than here. Are you sure you want me to mention this to Ye Qingqiu, who has a grudge against her, in order to sign Liang Xuer?”

Lian Lili took a deep breath. “But it’s only a matter of time before Xu’er signs with your company…”

“But definitely not now.”

Li Tingshen’s tone finally broke through his impatience.

Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were lowered and there was a faint haze.

The office was silent for a while. Lian Lili adjusted her emotions and wasn’t as agitated as before.

“What about Xu’er? Li Tingshen, I’m warning you. Xu’er is focused on being an actress now. It’s fine if we weren’t in the same industry in the past, but now that you’re in the same industry, you have to take care of her. Don’t use Ye Qingqiu as a shield. If you really want to, you’ll definitely be able to.”

She refused to give up. “If you sign Xu’er, it’s understandable for you to take care of her. Even if Ye Qingqiu knows, she won’t be able to say anything…”

“If she really encounters any problems, I’ll consider helping. But now, if I say I won’t sign it, I won’t.”

“…Sure, I’ll tell Xu’er. However, at the latest next year, when you hold a wedding with her, as you said, you’ll completely obtain the Ye Corporation’s power and shares. You have to resolve this matter immediately. I think I’m crazy to actually agree to your marriage with her.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows twitched and her legs went weak.

She took two steps back, feeling light-headed.

As Xiao Chu was standing further away from the office, she didn’t hear what was said inside. When she saw Ye Qingqiu’s expression, she asked curiously, “Miss Ye, what’s wrong?”

Ye Qingqiu’s hands trembled slightly as she looked up at Xiao Chu. Her beautiful face was expressionless and her voice was as calm as water.

“I’m going to the washroom.”

Less than two minutes after he left, the office door opened and Lian Lili walked out.

Xiao Chu then entered the office.

She placed the two paper bags on the coffee table.

Li Tingshen was sitting on a chair with a dark expression.

“CEO Li, this is Ru Yixuan’s porridge that Miss Ye brought.”

Li Tingshen looked up slowly. The malice in his eyes had yet to dissipate and his voice was hoarse. “Where is she?”

Xiao Chu was shocked by Li Tingshen’s current appearance and her voice sounded a little uneasy. “I… went to the washroom.”

Li Tingshen then shifted his gaze to the paper bag on the coffee table.

“Have you bought the cake?”

“I just asked someone to buy it. I should be back soon.”

“Okay.” Li Tingshen pinched the space between his eyebrows and stood up to walk over.

Xiao Chu hurried out. “I’ll ask if the cake is back.”

Not long after Xiao Chu left, Ye Qingqiu returned.

Li Tingshen was already sitting on the sofa. He took out the porridge from the two bags, added a few side dishes, and covered half of the coffee table.

Sensing her arrival, Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t eat anything for lunch.”

Ye Qingqiu stared at him for two seconds before walking over.

“I didn’t.”

Li Tingshen frowned. “What did you do? You even delayed lunch?”

“I went to the wedding planning company to take a look and went to the bridal shop.”

As she spoke, she sat beside Li Tingshen. When she walked towards him, her gaze was fixed on his expression.

However, she didn’t know if she was too stupid or if Li Tingshen had hidden it too well, but she couldn’t tell that there was anything wrong with him.

He was still smiling, and she could even hear the laughter in his voice.

“Do you have any wedding dresses in mind?”

“… I only visited three shops. Some are beautiful, but I think there might be better ones.”

“Have you tried it?”

“Shouldn’t you be accompanying me to try on the wedding gown?”

Li Tingshen scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Ye Qingqiu’s mouth.

“Yes, I might have time this weekend.” Seeing that she had eaten it obediently, Li Tingshen finally spoke.

Ye Qingqiu picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the side dish. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

“Sure.”

Li Tingshen fed her again. “Eat it yourself, okay?”

Ye Qingqiu took it and said, “Take a look at your gown then.”

Li Tingshen smiled and picked up another bowl of porridge.

When the porridge was almost finished, there was a knock on the office door. Xiao Chu put down the bowl and walked in with the cake.

“Miss Ye, CEO Li specially instructed me to buy this cake for you. It’s sugarless.”

“Thank you.”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head and smiled at Li Tingshen. “You’re so good. What reward do you want?”

“Any reward is fine?”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “Of course.”

Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her. “Then give me some of your shares?”

“Okay.” Ye Qingqiu reached out to bring the cake box to her without any hesitation.

Li Tingshen took another look at her and the smile on his face faded. “Can a piece of cake be exchanged for a company?”

“Isn’t what’s mine yours? In the end, I earned a piece of cake, right?”

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and leaned against the sofa. He turned his head and watched as she calmly fed the cake into her mouth.

“Do you know what it means to have 1% of the Ye Corporation’s shares?”

Ye Qingqiu tilted her head and thought for a while. “Probably a lot of money?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips and said, “That’s right. A huge base multiplied by 1% is probably equivalent to the profits of a five-star hotel for at least ten years, excluding the possibility of increasing in value in the future.”

“Oh, as expected of the Ye Corporation.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t look too surprised. She had known since she was young that the Ye family was rich.

“But this is my father’s Ye Corporation and your future. If you want to count on me, even a hundred five-star hotels won’t be enough.”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and looked at Li Tingshen. “So I’ll have to trouble you in the future, Hubby?”

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes. “What did you call me?”

“Hubby? Isn’t that so?”

Ye Qingqiu said matter-of-factly.

Li Tingshen looked at the cake in her hand. “Is the cake delicious?”

“Delicious.”

“You ate a lot. Aren’t you tired of it?”

“I won’t eat after this. Since you don’t want me to eat so much, why did you buy so much?”

“I’ve prepared enough for you, not for you to finish everything. There are toiletries in the room inside.”

He pointed to the hidden lounge.

Ye Qingqiu placed the last bite of cake into her mouth and sighed in satisfaction. She patted her stomach lightly.

“Looks like I have to go to the gym later.”

Li Tingshen glanced at her flat stomach and pursed his lips.

Ye Qingqiu opened the door of the lounge. Just as she entered, she felt a wave of warmth behind her.

She was pushed into the room and turned her head in confusion. Her waist was wrapped by a force and she was pressed against the wall.
