Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo! Chapter 2101
Ye Qingqiu felt a chill run down her spine.
She stood up from his embrace and her freshly dried hair fell on her shoulders. Her hair, which had not been dyed in any color, made her fair face even fairer.
“What do you mean?”
Li Tingshen looked at him calmly, his dark eyes unreadable.
“I want to be with you. In any form, we have to live under the same roof. We have to sleep in the same bed. Linlin has to call my father and your mother. The three of us have to be on the same household register, so…”
After saying that, he paused. “Can we get married? Can you marry me? Can I marry you?”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered and she didn’t know what to say.
Her mind was filled with the kitchen, knives, blood, and the emergency room…
“I don’t want to wait anymore.” Li Tingshen’s expression was calm. “So will you agree to marry me if Ye Ze’s life is returned?”
Ye Qingqiu stared at him for a long time. She wanted to sneer, but her lips twitched.
“You want me to marry a dead person?”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “…Let’s hold a wedding first.”
“Do you want me to be a widow after the wedding? Let me tell you, Li Tingshen, that’s impossible. If you die, I’ll remarry with Linlin!”
Li Tingshen paused and his eyes turned cold.
“Why don’t you try remarrying?”
“You’re already dead. Why do you care?”
Li Tingshen sneered. “If you dare to remarry, I’ll climb up to look for you even if I have to overturn the netherworld.”
Ye Qingqiu paused and gasped instinctively.
“… Lunatic.”
Her face was ashen and she couldn’t breathe properly.
Li Tingshen pulled her into his embrace and helped her sit on his lap.
“So did you agree to marry me just now?”
Ye Qingqiu frowned and asked, “Are you dreaming?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to remarry?”
Ye Qingqiu asked, “Were you serious just now?”
Li Tingshen kissed her cheek, his voice hoarse.
“Yes, I want to marry you.”
Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes and her beautiful face tensed up. “I’m talking about Brother Ye Ze!”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything. He buried his head in her neck and hummed softly.
Ye Qingqiu grabbed his hand and pushed him away.
“Enough.”
Li Tingshen looked at her cold face quietly and said in a low voice, “Enough?”
“I said, that’s enough!” Ye Qingqiu reiterated with a cold face, “You won, okay? I can’t bear to see you hurt, and I can’t bear to see you die. I’m scared to death outside when you’re sent to the emergency room. Isn’t it just a marriage? Get married, I’ll get married!”
“Bo Jinchuan said that the most important thing in life is to make yourself comfortable. Grandpa said that the dead are never as important as the living. Everyone thinks that I’m too pretentious. I’m only afraid when I almost kill someone. They’re all so open-minded and think that you love me. No one loves me more than you. They beat around the bush and tried to get me to let go…”
“Yes, they’re all right. I’m so unreasonable that I won’t let them off.”
Li Tingshen listened quietly. He placed his hand on her back and stroked it gently.
“Although I don’t like others interfering in our relationship, and I don’t like you being persuaded to be with me, I’m glad that as long as there’s a reason to persuade you to be with me, I’ll accept anyone who says anything.”
Ye Qingqiu clenched her fists.
Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. “I was very happy when you said that you still love me, but that’s all. You loved me three years ago, but you still didn’t want me. I only want you to be with me now. I don’t expect you to love me. It’s enough that I love you. But if loving me is the reason why you can continue to be with me, I can’t ask for more.”
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering.
He had expressed too much.
He had expressed his determination to be with her more than once.
In the past, he didn’t say anything. Now, he was afraid that she didn’t understand.
But some words were so honest that it made her love and hate him.
She said that she loved him. To him, she was just happy…
But she wouldn’t believe him if he said something nice.
Frankly speaking, most of them were unpleasant.
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
“It’s my first time being a human. I can’t compare to them in understanding, right and wrong, stubbornness and bigotry. It’s understandable for them to give me pointers, but it doesn’t mean that I have to think that they’re all right.”
It has nothing to do with whether I forgive you or not. I don’t pity you, and it’s not because you’re pestering me. I can only choose to compromise. I don’t have so many twists and turns. I can’t consider too much. I’m just willing. I want to lead a better life. I still love you. I won’t fall in love with another man, and I can’t even sleep with another man or do that kind of thing. I don’t want to be a widow at a young age. You have money, power, ability, and you love me to death. I won’t lose out by being with you.”
“Get married?” Ye Qingqiu asked and nodded. “If you serve me well and can support me, if I throw a tantrum and you can withstand it, I’ll marry you.”
Li Tingshen’s hand paused.
Ye Qingqiu turned to look at him. “Why? You can’t do it?”
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened. “That’s all?”
“Which ones?”
“If I serve you well, I can support you. If I throw a tantrum, I can withstand your torment.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Less?”
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly and buried his head in her neck again.
“Yes, ask for more. If not, I won’t be at ease.”
“You don’t want to marry me if you don’t feel at ease? Then do whatever you want. Let go of me. I want to sleep.”
Ye Qingqiu reached out to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter. His low and hoarse voice sounded from her neck.
“Marry.”
“Oh, are you still talking about Brother Ye Ze?”
“… Bring it up.”
“Very good, then I won’t marry.”
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly again. “…Let’s not talk about it.”
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes. “Let go. I’m sleepy.”
Li Tingshen paused and didn’t let go of her. He stared into her eyes and said, “You slept this afternoon.”
“So?”
“You’ve been grounded for two months. Do you need me to serve you?”
Ye Qingqiu’s body stiffened and her face turned red. She pushed him away and climbed onto the bed.
“No need!”
“It’s been two months…”
“I’ve been fine for three years! Get lost! You’re still injured. Are you crazy, Li Tingshen?”
Li Tingshen turned around and chased after her. “I can help you in other ways.”
Ye Qingqiu lifted the blanket and covered her head. Her deep and angry voice sounded from under the blanket.
“If you continue, get off the bed!”
This man opened a dye shop with just some paint.
It was pure yellow.
*
The next day, when Ye Qingqiu was still sound asleep, the news of him and Li Tingshen getting married swept across the internet.
Ever since Li Tingshen stayed here, she had rarely woken up personally.
It wasn’t that she was being lazy on purpose, but when she saw her aunt and Li Tingshen fighting to take care of Linlin every day, she decided not to participate.
She felt at ease.
When she woke up, Li Tingshen wasn’t beside her. She stretched and leaned against the head of the bed. She picked up the phone on the bedside table and browsed the news lazily.
Seeing the news of her marriage to Li Tingshen, she frowned.
After washing up, she went downstairs to look for food. Li Tingshen had probably calculated the time she would go downstairs. Just as she appeared at the staircase, Li Tingshen was standing downstairs and looking at her.
“Sit in the dining room for two minutes. Breakfast will be ready soon.”
After sitting down in the dining room, Ye Qingqiu rested her elbows on the table and watched lazily as Li Tingshen served her breakfast.
“There’s a lot of news online about us getting married. Did you do it?”
“Stop coveting you.” Li Tingshen sat beside her and picked up an egg. He cracked it and peeled it for her. “You don’t like it?”
Ye Qingqiu picked up her cutlery and shook her head. “No.”
Li Tingshen brought the peeled egg to her mouth and she took a bite.
She only spoke after Li Tingshen fed her the entire egg.
“Let’s just make up for the marriage certificate. There’s no need for the wedding.”
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and picked up a napkin to wipe his well-defined fingers.
Silence.
It lingered in the dining room for a long time.
After Ye Qingqiu finished her breakfast and put down her bowl and chopsticks, Li Tingshen stood up to clear the dishes.
Ye Qingqiu suddenly said, “Isn’t it good that we’re together? It’s just a formality. It’s not that important.”
Li Tingshen held the plate in his hand and waited quietly for her to finish speaking.
“It’s still the wedding plan you found back then. They didn’t think that the wedding wasn’t important.”
Ye Qingqiu paused for a few seconds. She didn’t expect him to be so fast. He had actually found a wedding planner.
“After all, it was back then. She was young and full of vanity. Her wedding was unprecedentedly grand and exquisite… She wanted to announce to the world that she was married to you. Now that I think about it…”
“Ye Qingqiu.” Li Tingshen suddenly interrupted her. “Which woman doesn’t want a wedding?”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Shen Fanxing didn’t hold it either.”
“Do you think Bo Jinchuan will miss her?”
Ye Qingqiu remained silent.
‘I won’t.’
Bo Jinchuan doted on Shen Fanxing so much that he had rushed back for the engagement. How could he lack a wedding?
“I can’t be bothered. Now that everyone knows we’re getting married, there’s no need for a wedding.”
Ye Qingqiu insisted that everything had changed. Her wedding was destined to be imperfect, so why should she force a smile?
“I’m already preparing.”
“Then cancel it.”
Her attitude was firm and no one could refute her.
Li Tingshen was silent for a long time. “…Okay.”
After saying that, he turned around and entered the dining room. That lonely figure made Ye Qingqiu’s chest ache and she felt even more guilty.
She stood there for a while before turning to walk into the kitchen. She walked behind the man who was washing and hugged his waist from behind.
“Let’s register our marriage later.”
Li Tingshen’s body stiffened and he stared at the water silently.
“I’ll move into the wedding room after I register my marriage.”
She kept retreating, wanting to comfort him.
“Did you break the four-piece set I bought back then?”
Li Tingshen finally found a clean towel. He dried his hands and turned to look at her.
“Buy a new one.”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “I’ll buy it.”
Li Tingshen rarely saw Ye Qingqiu smiling like this in front of him. Her eyes were gentle and filled with smiles.
He couldn’t help but lean over and kiss the tip of her nose.
*
In the afternoon, Li Tingshen brought Ye Qingqiu back.
The entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was surrounded by reporters.
The reporters’ sharp questions came one after another. There were many questions from Liang Xuer.
Xiao Chu had already sent people to protect Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu.
But it was hard to contain the reporters’ excitement.
“CEO Li, congratulations on your wedding!”
“May I know when your wedding with Miss Ye will be held? Where?”
“I wonder if the media will be invited to the wedding?”
Not many media companies would choose to offend Li Tingshen. Since they couldn’t ask about Liang Xuer, they could always ask about some happy news.
However, Li Tingshen’s face darkened. He had clearly gotten his wish to remarry Miss Ye, but there was no joy on his face.
On the contrary, Ye Qingqiu had a faint smile on her beautiful face.
“Thank you for your blessings. It’s just a remarriage. There’s no need to hold a wedding.”
“Huh? But back then, you didn’t have time to hold a wedding.”
Ye Qingqiu continued to smile. “The wedding isn’t important. What’s important is that we’re together.”
The media looked at the silent Li Tingshen and finally realized that he was really unhappy.
The reporters dispersed tactfully.
The internet was flooded with news of the two of them registering their marriage and not holding a wedding.
Most people sighed with regret.
“Back then, I was looking forward to Princess Ye’s wedding. It would definitely be unprecedentedly luxurious. I wanted to broaden my horizons, but it ended up in vain.”
“Who doesn’t think so? The bride is beautiful and the groom is handsome. Just thinking about it makes me ripple. Sigh.”
“I thought that with the two of them together, there would be hope for the grand wedding, but the little princess doesn’t want it anymore…”
“I heard that Princess Ye’s bodyguard died because of saving the wedding gown. He was probably afraid of being sad…”
No one spoke again.
They did not know much about what happened back then. Anyway, it was a huge matter and someone had even died.
*
Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to see Bo Jinchuan anytime soon.
If Linlin wanted to see Shen Fanxing and Li Tingshen went to the company, she had to find Shen Fanxing.
She was unlucky to bump into Bo Jinchuan at home in broad daylight.
She had to admit that Bo Jinchuan’s aura was indeed strong. He had been in a high position for a long time and was used to strategizing. Whenever he spoke, he gave off a strong sense of oppression, especially towards her.
Shen Fanxing had mentioned this to Bo Jinchuan before, but he was straightforward.
“Ye Qingqiu has been arrogant since she was young. When others treat her nicely, she subconsciously feels that others have to obey her. She’s purely used to it.”
Shen Fanxing understood. Instead of persuading her nicely, it was better to give her the only way out. There was no way out. She could either stand there or walk forward.
Seeing Bo Jinchuan, Ye Qingqiu wanted to hide. Even after getting married, she didn’t think that this man would let her off easily.
“Not having a wedding, you mean?”
Indeed…
“Aren’t you embarrassed when you mention someone else’s wedding?” Ye Qingqiu found a rare opportunity to mock him.
“You want to meddle in my business?” asked Bo Jinchuan coldly.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and glanced at him. “So can you not interfere in my matters? What does my wedding have to do with you?”
“How free do you think I am to meddle in your business?”
Ye Qingqiu asked, “So? What does my wedding have to do with you?”
“You’re in a hurry to throw away something that’s about to rot in my hands! You hold a wedding and I’ll give it to you.”
Ye Qingqiu sneered, “So you want to throw that thing that’s about to rot to me?”
“It’s useless to me and means a lot to you. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Ye Qingqiu should have retorted Bo Jinchuan immediately, but she was stunned by his tone.
Few questioned Bo Jinchuan’s words.
Moreover, he even said that it meant something.
She couldn’t think of anything in this world that meant anything to her.
“Continue with the wedding preparations.”
Ye Qingqiu said, “I don’t want to.”
Bo Jinchuan replied, “I don’t care if you want it or not. I want to give it away. You have to think about it.”
Ye Qingqiu sneered again. “I don’t want to attend the wedding. Do you want to tie me up at the wedding?”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her casually and said, “Why don’t you try?”
Ye Qingqiu felt suffocated.
Then, she watched as Bo Jinchuan called Li Tingshen.
“She agreed to hold the wedding. Continue with the arrangements.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
After hanging up, Bo Jinchuan threw something at Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu took a closer look and realized that it was a black pistol.
She was stunned.
“No matter what, I saved Li Tingshen’s life. Don’t you like to exchange lives? I’m really unhappy that he doesn’t want to hold a wedding. If he can’t do it, let him return his life to me. That way, I won’t be upset when I see such a useless brother like him in the future.”
Ye Qingqiu felt dizzy. “Do you have to do that?”
Bo Jinchuan said expressionlessly, “Of course.”
Shen Fanxing was playing the piano with Linlin, so she could see the commotion in the living room clearly. However, she only smiled and didn’t say anything.
Ye Qingqiu left in anger.
The gun was still on the coffee table.
*
At night, Li Tingshen asked her why she suddenly agreed to the wedding.
Ye Qingqiu’s expression remained unchanged as she scrolled through the internet.
“I’m curious about what surprise Bo Jinchuan has for me.”
Every word seemed to be bitten off.
“There’s no need for the wedding to be too grand and luxurious. Don’t go overseas either. Just stay in Ping Cheng. It’s not convenient for Grandpa to travel.”
“Okay.”
*
A month later.
Li Tingshen had fully recovered.
The wedding had finally arrived.
Some of the plans were the style that Ye Qingqiu liked three years ago.
The largest hotel in Ping Cheng City was booked.
All the roads were cleared from eight to twelve.
It was just that no one talked about it.
Ye Qingqiu woke up early and was in a bad mood. She went to the bridal lounge prepared by the hotel early and went to bed.
