Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Tingshen’s expression wasn’t good.
She was injured and had not slept for the entire night. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
“Qingqiu?”
There was a flurry of footsteps outside the door. Ye Jianyun’s familiar voice called Ye Qingqiu’s name in confusion. “Why aren’t you going in?”
Li Tingshen looked up. Ye Qingqiu was standing at the door and looking behind her.!!
Her pupils constricted slightly.
When Ye Qingqiu turned her head again, there was a faint smile on her face.
Li Tingshen didn’t know how many times he hated her ubiquitous smile.
“It’s useless to be anxious. It’s not life-threatening. You just have to suffer a little.”
She went forward to hold Old Master Ye and comforted him.
The few of them walked into the ward. Lian Lili stood to the side and looked at Ye Qingqiu with an unnatural expression.
He didn’t know when she had stood at the door. What she had just said…
Li Tingshen had been staring at Ye Qingqiu. When Liang Xuer’s attending doctor heard that the Ye family had arrived, he rushed over.
“Is this child alright?” Old Master Ye was really worried.
“The index and middle fingers of his right hand are fractured, both his legs are seriously fractured, and one of his ribs is broken. We are 100% confident of the relevant surgery. As long as we cooperate with the treatment and recuperate well, he will recover in half a year.”
“Huh? It’s… so serious…”
This injury was indeed serious. Old Master Ye’s heart trembled.
She was usually angry, but she was still a junior who was connected by blood. At this moment, her heart ached.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips tightly and the smile on her face dissipated.
With such injuries, one could imagine how serious the car accident was. If anything happened, Liang Xuer would really lose her life.
Her gaze landed on the unconscious Liang Xuer, and a hint of mockery flashed across her calm face.
How impressive.
“Are there any side effects?” Ye Qingqiu, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
The doctor paused for a moment before saying, “… It won’t affect your normal life. However, the more difficult dance moves will definitely affect you in the future. Also, your fingers. If you’re playing the piano… I can only say that it’s a pity.”
The doctor was being vague and tactful. Crushed fractures had many inevitable aftereffects. Saying that she couldn’t perform difficult dance moves was just a form of comfort.
If a dancer couldn’t even complete a “higher” dance, how would she have the courage and confidence to touch the dance again?
“How can that do?!”
Lian Lili’s sharp voice suddenly sounded. “Xu’er has been learning dance and piano since she was young. She used to be a stage actress and she will be taking the piano test next spring…”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything and only glanced at Li Tingshen.
His brows finally furrowed clearly.
The atmosphere in the ward instantly became tense.
Ye Qingqiu looked at the oblivious Liang Xuer, who was lying quietly.
She suddenly felt very tired.
She had probably slept too late last night and woke up too early today.
She raised her head and looked at Li Tingshen. “I brought you breakfast and placed it in your ward. Are you going back now?”
Li Tingshen looked at her for a few seconds before walking towards her.
Ye Qingqiu turned to Old Master Ye and Ye Jianyun and said, “The important thing is that she’s fine. She has just finished her surgery. There’s no point in having so many people guarding her. It will affect her rest. Shall we disperse?”
What Ye Qingqiu said made sense.
The group of them left the ward, leaving only the personal nurse behind.
After sending the elders off, Ye Qingqiu followed Li Tingshen back to the ward.
She sorted out the breakfast and placed it in front of the man.
Then she sat on the sofa and took out her phone.
Li Tingshen picked up the spoon and started eating.
The ward was quiet for two.
The traffic seemed to have become exclusive to celebrities.
The popularity of Li Tingshen disappeared from the list.
However, there were many topics related to Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer.
“Do you know? Back then, I witnessed the car accident. The car that caused the accident was aimed at CEO Li’s car. Xu’er’s car suddenly darted out from behind and wanted to help CEO Li. Later on, CEO Li probably discovered it and rushed in front of her. However, Xu’er beat her to it and the new car that she had just bought was badly damaged…”
“Wow, the two of them are risking their lives to protect each other? Is this the legendary love?”
“I also know that the two of them came from the same clubhouse and drove their own cars. They didn’t even touch a drop of alcohol when they came out of the clubhouse. Aren’t the two of them too tacit? Or what’s wrong with them? [lidded smile]”
“Huh? Really? Upstairs, the two of them were actually together from the start, right?”
Ye Qingqiu exited the interface and opened the game.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Li Tingshen suddenly asked when he heard her opening the game.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t even raise her head. “Ask what? Did something happen between you and Liang Xuer?”
Li Tingshen frowned. “No.”
“Yes, I believe you.” Ye Qingqiu’s voice was calm and her attitude was casual. “Even if you don’t tell me, I don’t think anything will happen between you and her. I’ll feel more at ease if you tell me frankly. But why do you have to make me ask first? Li Tingshen, we haven’t been together for long. If I have to ask you everything, you’ll definitely find me annoying and dump me early. It wasn’t easy for me to get you. Don’t lead me to make a mistake. Then, you can use this reason to dump me one day.”
Li Tingshen said calmly,
“If you really want to shake her off, is the reason important?”
Ye Qingqiu raised her head slowly and smiled at him.
“So you’ve considered getting rid of me?”
Li Tingshen finished the last mouthful of porridge and put down the spoon.
“I’m just dispelling your concerns.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and nodded with a faint smile.
When the two of you meet occasionally, I won’t be so petty as to let my imagination run wild and chase after you to ask you questions.
No matter why the two of you got into the same car accident at the same time, I’ll believe that there’s nothing between you and her…
However, Li Tingshen, I don’t think you should help me dispel this worry now. Perhaps one day, I might really look forward to this worry coming true.”
Li Tingshen glanced sideways at her, his eyes dark and unreadable.
“Expect what? Expect me to dump you?”
Ye Qingqiu stood up with a smile and walked to him. “Perhaps we’re looking forward to it.”
She reached out and placed the boxes into the food box in order. She glanced at his green eyes and said softly, “You didn’t sleep last night. Shouldn’t you be resting now? Xiao Chu called to tell me that you haven’t received the IV drip.”
“Aren’t you going to make yourself clear?”
Ye Qingqiu placed the food box on the cabinet and smiled. “What are you worried about? Aren’t you the one who has the final say now?”
Li Tingshen watched as she put away the dining table and stood by his bed. “Lie down properly. I’ll get the nurse to inject you.”
Ye Qingqiu played down this topic and didn’t intend to spend time on it. Li Tingshen didn’t probe further and asked,
“What about you?”
“As your wife, isn’t it illegal for me not to protect you?”
“I don’t know. To be on the safe side, there’s definitely no problem guarding it.”
Li Tingshen lay down as he spoke.
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
Without saying anything, Ye Qingqiu stayed in the ward.
The nurse gave Li Tingshen an injection. The man didn’t sleep the entire night, and Ye Qingqiu didn’t intend to talk to him. The ward slowly quietened down, and their breathing was steady and rhythmic.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Qingqiu put her phone aside and raised her head. Her gaze landed on the man’s face.
Her expression was calm and her gaze was distant. No one knew what she was thinking.
After hanging up the two bottles, Li Tingshen did not wake up.
Ye Qingqiu sent a message to the servant asking for lunch for two and asked Ye Ze to bring it over.
When it was almost noon, Ye Qingqiu asked the nurse to look after her. She went downstairs to get lunch and take a breather.
In less than ten minutes, the man who was lying on the bed was gone.
Ye Qingqiu placed the food container on the cabinet and looked down at the food container in her palm. Her lips twitched slightly.
Since she didn’t say anything, the nurse could only say, “The patient in Ward V66 has woken up. That gentleman has probably gone over.”
Probably?
Probably not.

Li Tingshen’s head was wrapped in gauze and Liang Xuer could see him clearly even though she was lying on the bed.
His low voice was weak and hoarse. “Brother Tingshen… are you… badly injured?”
Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. “It’s obvious. It’s not serious.”
Liang Xuer relaxed a little and her tone became more relaxed.
“That’s good…”
“Your uncle and grandfather came to visit you. They are indeed worried about you. What you have to do next is to recuperate well and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.”
Liang Xuer was slightly stunned. When she spoke again, her expression and tone became cautious.
“… I’ll cooperate… but… are my injuries serious? How… how long do I have to recuperate?”
Li Tingshen frowned slightly.
“It’s very serious. If you listen to the doctor obediently, you should be able to recover in half a year.”
“Half a year?” Liang Xuer’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She looked at him and shook her head helplessly. There was a pleading look in her eyes.
“No… I have to start filming soon. This drama is very important…”
“No matter how important it is, you can’t complete the filming. There’s no room for discussion.”
Liang Xuer bit her lips and closed her eyes to hide the despair in them.
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and looked at her calmly.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Get well and I’ll arrange another drama for you.”
Liang Xuer’s eyes suddenly trembled as if she suspected that she had heard wrongly. She looked at Li Tingshen tentatively.
“Brother Tingshen…”
“If there’s anything wrong with my body, I won’t consider you either.”
Liang Xuer burst into tears of joy. She was obviously agitated.
“I’ll recuperate well.”
Li Tingshen’s eyes were calm as he looked at the servant sent by the Ye family.
“Let’s eat first.”
Liang Xuer was naturally very obedient. The servant went forward to shake the head of the bed. Her actions were too careful, afraid that she would hurt Liang Xuer.
Li Tingshen walked over without a word and bent down to carry Liang Xuer. The servant quickly placed a pillow behind her back and gently placed her down.
Liang Xuer’s face was red and her heart was pounding.
This was the closest contact between Li Tingshen and her.
Liang Xuer had no appetite. Although the lunch she had brought from the Ye family was light due to her injuries, she frowned the moment she opened it. Just as she was about to reject him, she looked up and saw Li Tingshen’s cold and dangerous expression.
*
After Liang Xuer finished her lunch, Li Tingshen returned to the ward. There was only the nurse he saw when he woke up.
There was a brownish-red wooden food box beside the bed. It was something from home.
“Master, Young Madam said that this is food made at home and asked you to remember to eat it when you’re back. She said that she doesn’t like the smell in the hospital and should still be downstairs taking a breather.”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and opened the box. The food had been touched and it was obvious that half of it was missing.
Seeing this, the nurse said, “Young Madam just ate alone in the ward.”
Li Tingshen frowned slightly. He glanced at the chopsticks beside him and bent down to sit on the bed.
When Ye Qingqiu returned to the ward, she had yet to finish her lunch.
The young nurse tidied up the tray with a flushed face. The white bandage on Li Tingshen’s arm looked like it had just been changed.
“What happened?” she asked.
“The wound has split open,” said the nurse. Out of professional habit, she reminded, “You have to protect your arms now. Don’t carry any weight…”
Ye Qingqiu had already walked to Li Tingshen’s side. She frowned and wanted to take a closer look at Li Tingshen’s arm. When she heard the nurse’s words, she retracted her arm calmly.
She looked down at the man who was tidying his sleeves with a faint smile.
“Did you fight with Liang Xuer and end up like this?”
Li Tingshen tidied his sleeves. “She’s crippled now.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. So what did this mean?
Was he the one who disdained to fight a cripple?
Or was she crippled and he had to take care of her personally?
She walked to the sofa and sat down. She propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. “Li Tingshen, I don’t want this to happen again. You’re injured. Before you take care of yourself, you have no right to care about others. Moreover, you’re injured. I’ll be sad and heartbroken. Most importantly, I have to stay by your side to take care of you. I want to see your condition improve and get discharged as soon as possible. I don’t want your condition to worsen every time you’re in the hospital.”
Li Tingshen didn’t seem to be affected by Ye Qingqiu’s sadness and heartache. Instead, he chewed his food slowly and said calmly,
“If you don’t like staying in the hospital, I can apply to be discharged anytime.”
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes at Li Tingshen before chuckling softly.
“You’re sick and you still want to decide if I like the hospital or not? It sounds like I’m usually so mean to you.”
