With an additional marriage certificate, nothing seemed to have changed, but Ye Qingqiu could clearly feel the difference in Li Tingshen.

He had always been cold, but he was obviously gentler to her.

He would give her a gentle and considerate hug and the deepest kiss.

He rarely refused her requests.

Ye Qingqiu was still the same Ye Qingqiu, the arrogant and domineering young lady of the Ye family, and the dazzling and n.o.ble princess of Ping Cheng City.

It was a big drama with a strong momentum, and the publicity was not inferior either. The famous producer and director worked together. After more than three months of casting, they finally decided on the actors and held the opening ceremony a few days ago.

A few days later, Li Tingshen seemed to focus on his studies and went to school every day.

Initially, he thought that Ye Qingqiu would stick to him, but she got busy instead.

Other than picking her up in the morning, she rarely went back with him after school.

However, Ye Qingqiu would often visit his apartment.

Every time she came, she would bring some scattered items.

There were small ornaments, flowers and plants, exquisite cutlery, beautiful bedsheets, pairs of towels, bath towels, toothbrushes, slippers, cosmetics, clothes

Every time, she would do it step by step. Unknowingly, there were traces of her in every corner of the apartment.

In the blink of an eye, another month pa.s.sed.

Yin Ruijue was a little excited because he finally had a chance to have fun.

December 27th.

It was Li Tingshens birthday.

A few days ago, Yin Ruijue had gone to the Li residence to greet Lian Lili.

On Li Tingshens birthday, he reserved Li Tingshen.

Lian Lili knew very well that young people had their own social circles. Yin Ruijue knew how to make people happy. With a few words, he coaxed Lian Lili to leave with Li Tingshen.

Li Tingshen wasnt interested in these. Yin Ruijue was the only one having fun the entire time.

He was in charge of setting up the venue and finding friends.

As for the effect?

In the beginning, she didnt know why Yin Ruijue didnt find a safe and well-hidden private room. Instead, he chose the center of the dance floor.

When a group of s.e.xy women appeared on the stage opposite them, twisting their bodies as they took off their clothes, even a fool would know what was going on.

Men.

The others cheered and gave Yin Ruijue a thumbs up. They were very satisfied with his arrangements.

Yin Ruijue stuffed his hands into his pockets, indicating that these compliments were appropriate.

Li Tingshen sat in the center of the booth. When he saw the group of women, he frowned slightly.

However, she didnt say anything in the end. There were two good cigarettes on the coffee table, and a pile of alcohol occupied two-thirds of the coffee table.

The heavy metal music in the bar, the cheers of the crowd, and the visual impact in front of them showed the most realistic side of society.

It looked bright on the surface, but it was actually dirty.

Li Tingshen did not interrupt his unguarded arrangement. He took off his jacket and placed it on the sofa. The b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt were unb.u.t.toned, and his collarbone could be seen vaguely. He leaned lazily on the sofa with a box of cigarettes in his hand. He took out a cigarette and threw it aside. He turned on the lighter, and the lit cigarette lit up in the dark bar.

Yin Ruijue chatted with the others for a while. When he turned around, he saw Li Tingshen sitting there with a cigarette in his mouth. He was leaning lazily and looking at the group of people who were having fun.

Yin Ruijue was a little surprised. He bent down to sit on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He crossed his legs and laughed.

I was worried that you wouldnt like such occasions. I didnt expect you to integrate so quickly.

The corners of Li Tingshens lips twitched as his dark eyes darted to Yin Ruijue.

You know I wont like it, yet you still made such arrangements?

In the future, its inevitable that well have to attend such events. We have to interact and adapt in advance.

The smile on Li Tingshens lips seemed to have become more obvious. A low sneer escaped his throat and disappeared into the noise.

Thank you for your good intentions.

Yin Ruijue took a puff of his cigarette and looked ahead. Theres no need for that. In five years at the latest, Ping Cheng will be ours. h.e.l.lo, everyone.

Li Tingshen didnt speak and the smoke gradually blurred his indifferent face.

After putting out the cigarette in the crystal ashtray on the coffee table, Li Tingshen picked up his phone.

Seeing his actions, Yin Ruijue rolled his eyes. Youre the main character today. You cant leave halfway.

Li Tingshen put down his phone. Ill definitely leave halfway. I can only stay until nine at the latest.

F*ck! Yin Ruijue couldnt help himself. We havent even started playing at nine!

It cant be any later. Someone is waiting for me.

Yin Ruijues raised eyebrows paused, followed by a gossipy expression.

Who is it? Princess Ye?

Li Tingshen didnt say anything, but the smile on his lips made Yin Ruijue consider it a tacit agreement.

He leaned closer to Li Tingshen with interest.

Your relations.h.i.+p with Princess Ye has been very stable recently Speaking of which, youre really lucky with women. Shes the most beautiful princess in Ping Cheng City, but shes devoted to you How is it? Such a delicate beauty?

Li Tingshen glanced at him. Dont ask what you shouldnt know. What does the answer mean to you?

Yin Ruijue pursed his lips. Cant I be curious?

But wheres the other lady from the Ye family? Ive heard a lot about her recently. Shes been in the limelight recently. Shes almost as popular as the main lead. Many boys and girls in school treat her as a G.o.ddess Doesnt she like you too? She should be back for your birthday, right?

Li Tingshen took a gla.s.s of wine from the coffee table and said calmly, Im not sure.

Hey, if she really comes back to celebrate your birthday, will you reject her?

He should be busy. Li Tingshen took a sip of wine.

Are you really not going to reconsider? Are you sure you want to choose Ye Qingqiu?

Li Tingshen smiled and glanced at the woman who was taking off her shawl. He retracted his gaze and turned to Yin Ruijue.

She smiled and finished the wine in her gla.s.s.

Then, he said slowly,

Youre only asking this question now?

Yin Ruijue blinked in confusion. Huh? Just now? When should I ask you?

Li Tingshen was silent for a while. He leaned on the sofa and touched the necklace on his neck.

This question probably shouldnt exist because its never a multiple choice question.

Yin Ruijue paused and stared at him for a few seconds. In the end, he coughed lightly and straightened his body.

She had always felt that she was an arrogant and beautiful young lady.

She didnt expect his methods to be so powerful that he could control such a cold and heartless man like Li Tingshen.

Well, you dont have to leave early. Call her and ask her to come over to play.

Li Tingshen frowned. She doesnt like this place.

You didnt even ask why she didnt like it.

Li Tingshen turned to look at her coldly.

Yin Ruijue immediately stood up from the sofa. Im going to the washroom.

Half an hour later, at nine oclock, Li Tingshen stood up with his phone.

Yin Ruijue hurriedly stopped him. Brother, youve only drunk a little. Its rare for us to meet on your birthday. Stay for a while more

Li Tingshen slapped his hand off his shoulder coldly.

Continue playing.

Hey, dont go. I just called Princess Ye. Shell be here soon.

Hearing this, Li Tingshens face darkened.

When she looked up again, she saw a figure in a down jacket walking towards her. His face was blocked by his collar.

Even though she was covered tightly, Li Tingshen knew who she was.

As Ye Qingqiu walked, she removed her hat and pulled down her collar. Her fair and beautiful face was too eye-catching.

He strode over with a straight face and grabbed her wrist.

What are you doing here?

Ye Qingqiu said calmly, Of course its your birthday.

As she spoke, she craned her neck to look at the stage.

Li Tingshen tightened his grip on her wrist. Lets go back.

Ye Qingqiu retracted her gaze and looked at Li Tingshen with a faint smile.

Watching a striptease?

Yin Ruijue went up to her and said, Little Princess, dont misunderstand. This is all my arrangement. Tingshen really didnt take a good look tonight. Besides, he didnt really take off his clothes.

Ye Qingqiu glanced sideways at him and said, It seems like youre busy observing him tonight. You even know how he looks.

Yin Ruijues face froze and he took a step back with his arms crossed. Ye Qingqiu, arent your words a little strange?

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. Since youve made an appointment with your friend, why didnt you inform me? Are you worried that I wont be able to go on stage and embarra.s.s you?

No.

Ye Qingqiu nodded thoughtfully and said, Its your birthday today. I wont argue with you about these details. Since youre here, lets sit for a while. Ive even seen a real striptease.

As she spoke, she retracted her hand and walked in.

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground, his face terrifyingly dark.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Yin Ruijue hurriedly followed behind Ye Qingqiu.

The dance on stage also lasted for a while, and the people had changed. A few womens coats were scattered on the stage, and their clothes were also blocking their positions.

She was dressed normally on the beach, but when she moved here, she felt like she was flirting.

Ye Qingqiu stood below the stage and watched as the women swayed their hips. She said, Your figure is indeed not bad.

Li Tingshen walked over with a dark expression and said to Yin Ruijue,

Theyre all gone.

Why, the little princess likes it very much Hey, all of you can leave now

Li Tingshens cold gaze was like a knife, instantly changing Yin Ruijues tone.

The women on stage stopped and clutched their chests. They bent down to pick up their coats and hurried off the stage.

Why did you chase her away?

Although Ye Qingqiu said that, she didnt feel disappointed at all. She turned around and walked to the booth before sitting down.

Li Tingshen stood rooted to the ground for a while before turning around. He saw Ye Qingqiu sitting on the sofa with a bottle of wine in her hand.

Her expression changed again. She strode over and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bottle from her hand.

Stop fooling around.

Ye Qingqiu frowned. Who said Im fooling around? I dont know which gla.s.s is yours. I cant just use it

As she spoke, her lips curled into a beautiful smile.

Dont worry, its your birthday today. Youre the boss. Even if Im unhappy, I wont argue with you today.

Li Tingshen frowned at her.

In the end, he really couldnt see anything from her face.

In that case, be good and follow me home.

Ye Qingqiu was a little disappointed. Cant you stay longer? This is my first time here

Li Tingshens att.i.tude was firm. No.

Ye Qingqiu was resisting.

Li Tingshens att.i.tude was firm. Without any explanation, he bent down and picked her up.
