Chapter 2045 He Is Not Free
Ye Qingqiu never knew how to write the word stingy.
Although Yin Ruijue was unreliable, but for the sake of those ten bottles of white horses, a large table of dishes was prepared with full sincerity.
Um.
Just for the sake of ten bottles of White Horse.
Pulling Lin Lin to sit on a chair, the servant put a bib around Lin Lin, and prepared non-slip chopsticks and spoons in front of him.
Ye Qingqiu was at the side at most helping tidy up and rolling up Linlin's sleeves.
Compared with the tense and bewildered look on his face where he wanted to hold Linlin all the time and never let go, he was much calmer and calmer.
Grandpa recovered from illness, Linlin's eyes recovered, and she was free. Living here, her living conditions improved.
Everything settled down.
She also gradually had her own appearance, the appearance of three years ago.
Arrogant, indifferent and calm, heartless, no one can catch her eyes.
It was like this to everyone except Li Tingshen, and now it's like this to everyone.
What hasn't changed has changed.
A bright face is two points mature and gentle after three years of precipitation.
The arrogance between the eyebrows is still there, but there is a little charm that has already formed.
Li Tingshen's eyes never moved away from Ye Qingqiu's body.
Ye Qingqiu picked up the chopsticks and picked up some dishes for Linlin, "Mom help you cook?"
Linlin shook his head, "Linlin come by himself. Mom eats."
Ye Qingqiu smiled softly, and touched his little face.
"good."
Even Yin Ruijue couldn't adapt to Ye Qingqiu at this time.
This woman is really different from before.
He thought, in the past three years, Ye Qingqiu has grown much faster than any of them.
Back then, the arrogant woman who needed someone to take care of her when she entered and left the house, who couldn't lift her hands or shoulders, could actually take care of others now.
Li Tingshen wanted to sit next to Ye Qingqiu, but in the end he sat opposite her.
The safe distance that will least offend her, and the best position where you can "peep" wantonly.
Yin Ruijue shook his head as he looked at the rare cowardly expression of his brother beside him.
Emotions are so fucking amazing.
He saw that after this meal tonight, this man returned to the next door, and he would definitely suffer from insomnia again.
He sighed helplessly, as if an elder wanted to speak.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at him lightly, "Do you want peanuts?"
Yin Ruijue saw a few rose thorns in her smiling eyes, and opened his mouth with a dazed expression.
"...I want some wine."
Ye Qingqiu frowned, "We don't serve alcohol."
"It's convenient, it's rare to get together. Besides..."
Yin Ruijue winked and glanced at Li Tingshen, "...drink something to help you sleep at night."
Ye Qingqiu put down his chopsticks, and Yin Ruijue hurriedly said: "Two bottles of Lafite, just exchange for a bottle of wine, OK?"
Ye Qingqiu looked up at the servant beside him, "Is there an Erguotou at home?"
The servant nodded, "There are two boxes in the warehouse."
"Well, let's get a box first."
Yin Ruijue: "..."
*
He wanted to help Li Tingshen sleep, but in the end, he collapsed on the sofa with the bottle in his arms.
After Lin Lin finished his meal, Ye Qingqiu asked his servants to take him upstairs.
Glancing at the man on the sofa who was staring and talking nonsense, Ye Qingqiu's brows and eyes were somewhat gloomy.
"Take people away quickly, don't stain my carpet."
After she finished speaking, the person turned around and wanted to go upstairs.
"Qingqiu."
Ye Qingqiu stepped up the steps, put his slender and fair hands on the handrail beside him, and paused.
Li Ting pulled his lips deeply, "Good night."
From the living room came the sound of the restaurant servants clearing the table, as well as Yin Ruijue's whimpering.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingqiu's voice sounded softly.
"Good night."
Li Ting's heart skipped a beat suddenly.
He has never noticed before that there are two words, so beautiful.
"Ye Qingqiu, I've never... never seen him with... such a badass side... I really fucking made me laugh..."
It wasn't until Ye Qingqiu's figure completely disappeared at the stairs that Li Tingshen looked away, looked at someone paralyzed on the sofa, pulled his collar with a cold face, and almost dragged him out of the villa.
"Uh...I'm going to be strangled...so uncomfortable..."
Yin Ruijue was finally stuffed into the car, and Li Tingshen didn't even let him in the house.
Xiao Chu was ordered to send him back.
"Boss Li, is there a high chance of having a meal next time?"
Turning the car around, Xiao Chu couldn't help but stop the car and ask one more question.
It's not that he's such a big man, it's because he's really afraid of what President Li looked like three years ago and before today.
President Li's relationship is smooth, and all employees of the company will have a better future.
One person's happiness affects the happiness of tens of thousands of people.
Although it was Mr. Li's personal problem, it was no longer in the real sense.
Li Ting glanced at him deeply, and said slowly: "Do you want to raise your salary?"
Xiao Chu froze for a moment, "...of course I thought about it."
Li Ting nodded deeply, and said lightly: "Then behave well."
Xiao Chu: "..." What do you mean?
*
At noon the next day, there was another knock on the door of Qingqiu Manor.
Ye Qingqiu opened the door.
Li Tingshen stood in front of the door in a suit and leather shoes.
With two toy boxes in hand, "Good afternoon."
Ye Qingqiu leaned against the door, tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "What are you doing?"
"I'm here to give Lin Linbu a gift."
Ye Qingqiu looked at him and said nothing.
"...There is no food at home, by the way... Cengfan."
"Twenty bottles of Lafite."
Ye Qingqiu closed his eyes, was silent for a while, turned around and walked back to the living room, the door was left open.
*
third day.
fourth day.
fifth day...
Li Tingshen would come to Qingqiu Manor for at least one meal every day.
Gifts for Linlin filled the storage room.
However, people are greedy.
Ye Qingqiu let him have a meal, let him meet Linlin, and get along with him calmly and calmly.
Putting these before, it was enough to satisfy him.
Can……
She never once mentioned the past, nor told him what she wanted to do in the future, nor did she say whether she would leave.
A heart hangs in the air, neither up nor down.
But he didn't dare to mention it.
Because anything in the past is definitely a death spot for her.
He felt that it was better to maintain the status quo than to tear open the scars of the past again.
But all the sensitivity and forbearance collapsed on the day Ye Lixun went to Qingqiu Manor for dinner a week later.
That day, it was Ye Lixun who opened the villa door for him.
Seeing him, Ye Lixun frowned, "I didn't expect that you could do such a cheeky thing."
The moment he saw Ye Lixun, Li Tingshen also tensed up all over.
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Lixun raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Tingshen with a half-smile.
"Get ready to go, come and clean up."
Li Ting's hand holding the gift box tightened suddenly.
Ye Lixun turned sideways and made way for him.
When going in, Ye Qingqiu came out with a fruit plate in the shape of animals in his hand, apparently for Lin Lin, and he didn't have any special expression when he saw him, and walked to the cushioned place .
Linlin was lying there reading a storybook.
His eyes used to be unable to see, but now he can see. He spends a long time every day reading with his hands in his hands.
Ye Qingqiu put the fruit plate beside him, inserted a piece of pear and handed it to Lin Lin's mouth.
Lin Lin opened his mouth to catch it, then sat up, "It's so sweet, thank you mom."
Ye Qingqiu smiled, with a gentle voice, "You're welcome."
Seeing Li Tingshen in a blink of an eye, Lin Lin smiled and greeted him as usual.
Dad has already shouted smoothly.
Li Ting's tensed face showed a forced arc.
Linlin looked at Ye Qingqiu with some doubts.
Ye Qingqiu didn't speak.
Because she also felt baffled.
He had the cheek to come to her house to grab a meal, and even made a face to his son when he entered the door, what was he thinking.
Is it because she has given him too much good looks recently?
Although there was anger in her heart, she didn't show it even when her aunt was present.
Until after dinner, the subject of Ye Yuxun's leaving was never mentioned.
Ye Yuxun will stay here at night.
Li Tingshen procrastinated until half a cup of tea, and Lin Lin yawned.
Ye Yuxun looked at him sideways, stretched out his hand to touch his soft and tender face, and said softly:
"Sleepy?"
Linlin raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then nodded with a "hmm".
Ye Yuxun smiled, "Then aunt will take you to take a bath, shall we go to bed early? We have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Tingshen, who had been sitting silently by the side, tightened his palms suddenly.
Linlin nodded obediently, got off the sofa and put on slippers, and was dragged upstairs by Ye Yuxun.
Ye Qingqiu was leaning on the corner of the sofa, leaning his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, looking dazed and lazy.
"Any thing else?"
Li Ting stared deeply at her sleepy face, Cen Bo's lips moved, and she yawned again.
Her thin lips were tightly pressed together, staring at her with a hoarse voice.
"are you sleepy?"
When he said he was sleepy, Ye Qingqiu yawned again, his eyelashes stained a little.
She nodded frankly, her voice was warm and soft, all defenseless and lazy.
"Um."
She looked really sleepy.
Li Ting stared at her quietly for two seconds, then stood up and walked in front of her.
Ye Qingqiu raised his eyelids, before he could see the person clearly, he was hugged up.
She clasped his shoulders, still drowsy, and spoke softly in Wu Nong's voice.
"Li Tingshen."
She called his name, trying to bring out a little danger, but it was soft and not threatening.
Li Tingshen seemed to hear clearly.
"I'll carry you upstairs to rest."
"..." Ye Qingqiu leaned on his shoulder and said nothing.
Li Tingshen found her bedroom with ease and put her on the bed.
Taking off his shoes and loosening the hair tie, Ye Qingqiu hugged the pillow at the head of the bed and fell asleep sideways on the soft bedding and pillow.
Li Tingshen stood by the bed and looked at her, with a hoarse and low voice:
"Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Ye Qingqiu let out a "hmm".
"It's uncomfortable not to take a bath."
Ye Qingqiu frowned, "Can you leave me alone?"
She is angry.
She has always been very angry when she gets up, and she is even more demanding when it comes to sleeping.
Li Tingshen didn't speak, just stared at her delicate side face for a while, then bent to turn off the light in the bedroom, leaving only a night light by the bed.
In a daze, Ye Qingqiu felt a familiar aura gradually approaching from behind.
The breath was like a fire that was approaching gradually, and her skin was scorching hot from the heat wave.
Her fingers curled up slightly under the quilt, she probably guessed what Li Tingshen wanted to do.
Li Tingshen really couldn't help but want to get close to her and kiss her.
Want it so so much.
However, he was close at hand, at a distance that could be kissed an inch forward, but he stopped. He had obviously kissed hundreds of times with his breath, but he couldn't fall down for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ting took a deep breath and retreated, and then there was a soft closing sound of the door.
In the darkness, Ye Qingqiu slowly opened his eyes, looking at the curtains that Li Tingshen had just closed, his calm and indifferent pupils were thinking of something, and then closed them again.
Li Tingshen stood outside the villa door, turned around and looked at the closed door in front of him, Ye Qingqiu's soft fragrance seemed to linger in his nose, but what Ye Xunxun wanted to take Ye Qingqiu to leave in his mind.
He wanted to ask just now, hundreds of times.
But he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't dare to listen to the answer.
If she really said she was going to leave, what was he going to do?
*
Ye Qingqiu went to bed early last night, vaguely remembering to take a bath but fell asleep until dawn.
She frowned in disgust, lifted the quilt and walked into the bathroom with a cold face.
After washing and coming out, it looked like it was just after eight o'clock.
She went downstairs, and the servants were cleaning the living room silently.
Seeing her come down, I was a little surprised that she was so early today.
"Morning Miss."
"Morning. Help me replace the bed in the room with a new one."
"good."
The servant responded, paused, and Ye Qingqiu went to the restaurant by himself.
She pursed her lips and went upstairs.
Since living with Lin Lin, she would try her best to get up a little earlier than Lin Lin, and make breakfast for him herself.
She got up early today, so Linlin's breakfast was naturally made by her.
Speaking of which, Li Tingshen went to learn cooking for Li Tingshen back then, but she was obviously not good at cooking, not to mention that Li Tingshen didn't allow her to cook at that time.
Now, she can still do simple cooking porridge, throwing bread into the toaster, and putting some vegetable omelette salad dressing.
Although the success rate of fried eggs is not 100%.
Ye Lixun kept Linlin in her room last night, and when she came down half an hour later, the two of them were already dressed.
Lin Lin was wearing a dark gray casual suit, with a pair of small black sneakers on his feet, a small white baseball cap on his head, and a pair of small sunglasses on his small face.
Clean and neat, it looks like some contemporary cool men.
Seeing Lin Lin's appearance, Ye Qingqiu couldn't help laughing.
Emotional aunt likes children to play with.
"Come and have breakfast first."
"Okay~" Linlin stretched out his little hand to take off his sunglasses, and the little man happily ran towards Ye Qingqiu.
A little after nine o'clock, the three of them went out, and Ye Qingqiu walked in front holding Linlin in his arms.
As soon as he stepped out of the villa, Ye Qingqiu frowned instantly.
Linlin blinked and looked at the man leaning on the pillar at the entrance.
Li Ting turned his head to look over and confirmed that it was Ye Qingqiu. He moved his feet slightly, and finally raised his hand to prop up the pillar behind him, and stood up slowly.
The expensive suits that always fit perfectly, the slender and tall figure, and the handsome facial features seem to have a high-end aura.
However, Ye Qingqiu felt that his body seemed to be covered with a layer of icy frost, his indifferent handsome face seemed to be a little stiff, and his eye sockets were slightly red.
He turned to face her with obvious stiffness in his movements.
His original intention seemed to be to get close to her, but in the end it seemed that he stopped where he was for some reason.
Ye Qingqiu's eyes glanced at his long, straight legs wrapped in suit pants, his face sank slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
She clearly remembered that the clothes on his body were still the same as last night.
"Is there something wrong?"
Ye Lixun came out from behind holding Linlin in his arms, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Li Tingshen.
A servant came out with a travel bag.
Seeing this, Li Ting's hands hanging deeply on both sides tightly turned into blue-white fists, and his hoarse voice seemed to have a thick layer of ice in his throat. There was no temperature, and the main reason was the stiffness of the ice.
"Where are you going?"
"Don't tell me, you stayed here all night yesterday." After saying that, the expression on Ye Qingqiu's face became uncontrollably gloomy.
What she said surprised Ye Lixun behind her.
Stayed here all night yesterday?
Could it be because of what she said when she opened the door for him?
She frowned, she didn't know how to feel for a moment.
This man not only blocked domestic news from her, but also restricted her from traveling. These two points alone were enough to kill all his good feelings in her heart. She was generous enough not to treat him as an enemy and fight to the death.
Yesterday was just a whim, I just said a word, I didn't expect him to care so much.
He even noticed that he guarded the door all night.
The weather at the end of September, late at night is enough to be called cold...
In fact, she knew very well that whether it was three years ago that he tried his best to prevent her from taking Qingqiu away, or that he had prevented her from returning to the country in the past three years, it was all because of one reason.
If it weren't for extreme worry and anxiety, no one would do such extreme things.
"So, wherever I go in the future, I have to ask you for instructions first?"
Li Ting rolled his Adam's apple twice, "No need..."
He paused for a moment, his gaze firmly fixed on her delicate face, and after a while, he slowly said, "Do you want to go?"
Ye Qingqiu frowned, "Otherwise, do you think we all came to the door for a walk when we got up so early?"
Li Ting's deep eyes flickered.
"Mom." Linlin looked at Li Tingshen from behind for a long time, and suddenly said: "Father seems to be sad, why don't you let him go to the playground with us, everyone in the playground will be very happy."
Li Ting's eyes paused deeply, "...you...are going to the playground?"
"Well, my aunt is going to take my mother and I to the playground. Linlin hasn't been to the playground yet."
"He's not free." Without giving Li Tingshen a chance to speak, Ye Qingqiu directly made the decision for him.
She didn't think Li Tingshen was a man willing to enter the amusement park.
I don't even think that people who stand overnight in the late autumn night will have the energy to go to places like amusement parks.
Linlin didn't dare to refute Ye Qingqiu's words, it was very obvious that she was angry.
Li Tingshen instantly felt relieved, but the hope that Lin Lin had raised just now was shattered and disappointed.
After Ye Qingqiu finished speaking, he walked outside with a cold face.
When passing Li Tingshen's side, someone gently grabbed his wrist.
"Can you let me go too?"
Ye Qingqiu easily withdrew his hand, his voice indifferent.
"Don't ask me, what you want has nothing to do with me."
Ye Lixun pursed his lips.
Who was the one who just said "he's not available"?
Three people got into the car.
Lin Lin was silent beside him.
There was silence in the carriage, Ye Qingqiu hadn't spoken since getting in the carriage.
Especially when the driver in front said that Li Tingshen's car was following behind, Ye Qingqiu's face seemed to be even colder.
The current atmosphere made Ye Lixun feel a little guilty, who would have thought that he would do such a thing if he caused trouble with just one sentence.
Sighing, she spoke softly:
"Qingqiu, he thought I was going to take you away."
