[Write down Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu from the beginning. Try your best to simplify it. The last couple is the two characters that I like very much. Theres no guarantee of updates, only quality.]

In the circle of the older generation, there was an obscure rumor that everyone knew but kept silent

Ye Jianyun had truly loved a woman in his life. That woman was called Mi Rao.

As her name suggested, she was an enchanting beauty.

It was rumored that Mi Rao was an active socialite in the upper-cla.s.s society. She was smooth, beautiful, and charming. She specialized in dealing with the rich and handsome.

Everyone knew that she seduced men everywhere. It was rumored that she had countless guests. The men knew that they should stay away and despise this woman, but in the end, they all fell under her skirt.

The ladies in the upper-cla.s.s circle all gritted their teeth and called her a vixen. With so many men, she would definitely die a horrible death.

However, this woman suddenly disappeared.

Ten months later, good news came from the wealthy Ye family. They received a precious daughter named Ye Qingqiu.

It was only later that everyone found out that the woman who gave birth to the Ye familys daughter was Mi Rao, who used to be famous in Ping City.

Ye Jianyun really loved her and even doted on his daughter.

Unfortunately, the beauty died on the eighth day of her daughters birth.

The news was sudden. It was said that her health had always been poor, but someone had privately said that she had suffered retribution.

Some pitied their eight-year-old daughter.

However, Ye Jianyuns love for her gradually made people retract their pity for her.

She was the daughter of the Ye family. Other than the fact that she didnt have a mother, she had more than anyone else.

Ye Qingqiu had been famous for her beauty since she was young. Her small face was exquisitely carved, like a dew-covered flower bud. She looked lifelike and was an absolute beauty.

No one was surprised.

After all, her mothers name was Mi Rao, a vixen who made women grit their teeth.

The Ye family had warned him not to gossip about the Ye family behind their backs. Everyone knew that he was protecting Mi Rao.

However, when she thought about it, she couldnt help but gossip. However, after Mi Rao died, the matter regarding Mi Rao naturally faded.

The daughter of the Ye family had just grown up.

She was beautiful, willful, domineering, smart and lazy.

She seemed to think that she would live a smooth life in this lifetime. She was heartless and didnt care about anything.

But that depended on the situation.

It depended on her mood.

He wanted to see if she was willing or not.

She was very unpredictable.

She might be in a good mood one second and be unhappy the next.

She liked this dress the day before, but she didnt like it the next day.

Seeing that she was eating lightly today, she might want to eat a plate of fat and tender braised pork tomorrow.

However, the people from the Ye family were already used to this and couldnt be more familiar with it.

Anyone who knew her would subconsciously think that nothing in this world could last longer than Ye Qingqiu.

Yet, she had her persistence.

When Ye Qingqiu was twelve, she met the fifteen-year-old Li Tingshen.

The days when they met were not so beautiful.

Because her uncle, her fathers younger brother, had died in an accident.

The Ye familys funeral lasted for three days.

The first time she met Li Tingshen was at her uncles funeral.

At that time, he stood quietly beside a beautiful woman. He was tall and thin, beautiful and quiet. He had a faint aura that she didnt know how to describe.

She sneaked out of the backyard and bowed to her uncle like someone else. After all

He heard that she had peed on him before.

Perhaps her gaze was too unrestrained, but Li Tingshen easily caught her gaze.

The first thing she saw was an overly beautiful girl.

She didnt look fl.u.s.tered or uncomfortable at all. Instead, she smiled at him.

That smile made him slightly unhappy. It was the illusion of being trapped in a cage.

His gaze landed on her for two seconds before he frowned and retracted his gaze coldly.

Ye Qingqiu put the flowers down and prayed silently.

When she turned around again, that place was already empty.

Her eyes darted around and she saw the woman disappearing with her father.

She chased him all the way to her living room.

Because she was in a hurry, her beautiful white dress fluttered in the air. When she stopped, her dress swayed in front of her like a mischievous wave.

Her beautiful face was slightly red. Through her fair and tender skin, she looked like a peach.

Ye Qingqiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Li Tingshen sitting obediently on the sofa.

Qingqiu, are you running around again?

Although Ye Jianyun was reprimanding her, she still doted on her.

This is your daughter?

The young and beautiful woman sitting beside him spoke. Ye Qingqiu turned her head. That woman should be a guest, but she was the young master of the Ye family after all. Not to mention outside, since they were in her house, wasnt it standard to give her a polite and distant smile?

This woman was indeed arrogant.

Daddy, who is she?

Ye Jianyun touched her beautiful braids and smiled. Shes Daddy and Mommys friend. Call her Auntie Lian.

Ye Qingqiu s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the boy beside her. Who is he?

Lian Li, who had been ignored by Ye Qingqiu, paused for a moment before smiling.

Ye Jianyun was used to Ye Qingqiu having no bottom line, but he didnt condone the most basic etiquette.

Qingqiu

Ye Jianyun looked at her helplessly, only to see that her gaze seemed to be fixed on the boy opposite her.

Sighing, he said, Hes Auntie Lians son. Tingshen, Li Tingshen, hes two years older than you. Remember to call him brother in the future.

Ye Qingqiu successfully obtained Ye Jianyuns compromise again and smiled beautifully at Li Tingshen.

h.e.l.lo, Li Tingshen. My name is Ye Qingqiu. Im Ye Qingqiu. Do you remember Ye Qingqiu?

Ye Jianyun sighed helplessly. This girl was really spoiled.

Her childish voice was filled with arrogance.

She asked him if he remembered it.

In reality, it sounded like she wanted him to remember that he had no right to say no.

Li Tingshen looked at her coldly without a word.

Ye Qingqiu didnt seem to want to wait for his answer. She turned to look at Lian Lili and smiled. h.e.l.lo, Auntie Lian.

Lian Lili found her change in att.i.tude funny and said bluntly, You didnt seem to like me just now.

Ye Qingqiu nodded. Youre Li Tingshens mother. I like him, so I should like you too.

Lian Lili was stunned by Ye Qingqius bluntness.

Ye Jianyun didnt know whether to laugh or cry. He stroked her hair and said, You child

Lian Lili came back to her senses after a few seconds. She looked at Ye Qingqiu and said calmly, Your personality is exactly the same as Mi Raos.

Ye Qingqiu knew that Mi Rao was her mother and she had bragged until her mother died.

Upon hearing this name, the smile on her face disappeared. At the age of twelve, she couldnt hide her emotions well.

Li Tingshen looked at her quietly.

Not long after, the longing and sadness on Ye Qingqius face disappeared. She glanced at Lian Lilis left side. There was a girl about her age sitting there. She looked quiet and obedient, the kind of girl that many adults liked.

This time, it was Lian Lili who spoke. Her name is Liang Xuer. Shes the daughter of your uncle and my friend.

Why isnt my uncles daughter surnamed Ye?

Lian Lili smiled sarcastically and turned to look at Ye Jianyun.

Her surname can only be Liang. This is Liang Nuans last wish.

Ye Jianyun pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

Leave her in the Ye family. The Ye family has the responsibility to take care of her.

Lian Lili pursed her lips and asked, Can you keep her surname Liang?

Ye Jianyun frowned. Let her decide when she grows up.

Lian Lili nodded. Alright.

Liang Xuer seemed to be terrified of this outcome. When Lili left with Li Tingshen, Liang Xuer ran to the door and grabbed Li Tingshens arm, crying sadly.

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. That was the first time Ye Qingqiu had heard Li Tingshens voice.

Dont cry.

Ye Qingqiu wanted to laugh. Was this considered comforting?

She was pale and emotionless.

Liang Xuers tears didnt seem to be obedient.

Ye Qingqiu saw Li Tingshens fingers twitch.

Then, he suddenly looked in the direction of the living room. His gaze happened to catch the mischievous smile on Ye Qingqius face.

She frowned slightly.

Ye Qingqiu didnt hide anything. She turned around and took two tissues before walking to Li Tingshen.

She handed the tissue to him and smiled. Did you want this just now?

Li Tingshen didnt say anything and raised his hand to take it, but Ye Qingqiu dodged it.

Li Tingshen missed.

In the next second, Ye Qingqiu wiped Liang Xuers face with the two pieces of paper in her hand. That technique didnt seem like a girls, nor was it sincere.

Liang Xuer reacted and dodged.

Ye Qingqiu couldnt be bothered to pretend to be a good person and stuffed the two pieces of paper into Liang Xuers hands.

Then, she turned to Li Tingshen and smiled softly.

Youre the person I like, so no matter if its now or in the future, dont wipe other girls tears or give them a handkerchief. Otherwise, Ill be unhappy. If Im unhappy, I naturally dont want you to have a good time. In the end, you might have to spend time and effort to coax me. So its better not to do such things in the future. What do you think?

Ye Qingqiu was very beautiful. She had been beautiful since she was young and had been pampered since she was young.

It was as if she was born to be pampered like this.

Even if a beautiful persons personality wasnt likable, she couldnt help but admit that she was really beautiful when she smiled.
