Chapter 2097 : I Still Love You “You’re the one who provoked me. You want to be with me. You want me to love you, so you can’t dump me after I love you. You can’t…”
It was as if he had completely destroyed the thick and strong city wall that had restrained him for the past three years. He kissed her unrestrainedly.
His well-defined fingers dug into the gaps between her slender fingers and pressed against the top of her head. His heavy body emitted heat that burned her through his shirt.
There were only two sentences in his muddled mind. At first, he remembered them clearly, but later, only a few words were left—
“You can’t dump me after I love you.”
“No one loves you more than me.”
No one loves you more than me…
These words were like a curse. It was as if an antique tape had slipped and was repeating endlessly in her mind.
No one loves you more than me…
She didn’t understand. She already knew.
Li Tingshen was best at touching her sensitive spot when she was defenseless.
No matter how depressed she was, her body would react instinctively.
The tips of her ears were curled and Ye Qingqiu’s body suddenly trembled. Her strength seemed to have been sucked away by a magnet and her body turned limp.
She bit her lips tightly, her deep breaths warm.
She wanted to resist, but the man tightened his grip.
“Don’t move. Be good, okay? Give it to me. Qingqiu, I want you…”
The fragrance on her body seemed to have seeped out of her fair skin. She was born with a fatal temptation.
Since she dared to provoke him, how could she not have the confidence?
“Do you want to die?”
Ye Qingqiu spoke casually, her voice hoarse and soft.
“Yes,” Li Tingshen replied in a low voice. “I want you.”
The deer was finally “comforted”. The cheetahs began to eat and plunder.
The moment she was completely possessed, Ye Qingqiu arched her body in pain.
She couldn’t help but cry out, “It hurts…”
“It won’t hurt anymore, I’ll…”
Li Tingshen’s low and messy voice was coaxing as he coaxed her to be obedient. He coaxed her to open her body for him so that he could have his way.
Especially when his voice whispered in her ear, bewitching her.
She would never be able to resist him.
Ye Qingqiu curled her hands tightly. Li Tingshen’s fingers were pressed against her ears, and his coaxing voice never stopped.
“No, let go…”
Li Tingshen didn’t like her rejection and turned to kiss her.
What followed was his endless possession and demand.
All the dominance was on him, and all his senses were controlled by him. Time and time again, he was satisfied and satisfied.
…
He looked as though he wanted to swallow her whole, making Ye Qingqiu think that he might pester her the entire night like he did in the past.
However, the injury on his head and the rising fever had consumed most of his energy.
It was already past two in the morning. He was already in a daze, but he still hugged Ye Qingqiu tightly and refused to let go.
Ye Qingqiu’s body, which had been quiet for more than three years, had been exhausted by this torture.
However, the warmth of the prisoner’s embrace made her distraught.
Even his breath on the top of her head was hot.
She lay quietly for a while before finally raising her hand to hold the arm around her waist.
He knew that she wanted to push him away, so he used more strength to pull her into his embrace.
He buried his head in her neck again, his thin lips lingering on her skin.
Ye Qingqiu closed her eyes and didn’t move for a long time.
Soon, her breathing calmed down and became heavier than usual.
She moved, but Li Tingshen didn’t react this time.
Pushing herself off the bed, she found her nightgown and put it on. She glanced at the man who had no reaction on the bed and pursed her lips before walking into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom.
She held a basin of water in her hand and walked to the bed. She stared at Li Tingshen for a while before looking down at the basin of warm water. After a long while, she bent down and placed it on the cabinet.
If she wasn’t afraid of trouble and had to change the bedsheets in the middle of the night, she wouldn’t mind splashing this basin of water on him.
She wet the towel and wrung it dry. Then, she bent down to lift the blanket. With a straight face, she endured the pain in her back and wiped Li Tingshen’s body.
After changing a few basins of water, she waited for his fever to subside before taking a shower. When she came out and saw that his frown had gradually relaxed, she threw the towel she used to wipe his body into the basin.
Unable to take it anymore, she walked to the side, lifted the blanket, and fell asleep.

When Ye Lixun opened the door, there was no one outside.
She was a little surprised. She had thought that he would keep watching. Although there was a high chance that it would be meaningless, guarding was better than giving up.
What a pity.
She closed the door and went to have breakfast. The servant must have seen her opening the door. When she placed the breakfast in front of her, she added,
“Last night, Mr Li came in…”
Ye Lixun’s hand froze.
He looked up at her. “Did you let him in?”
“… Missy, she came down last night…”
The servant was young and blushed. “Yesterday… Mr Li carried Missy upstairs…”
Ye Lixun was speechless.
She picked up a bun and put it to her mouth, but she couldn’t bite it.
It shouldn’t be. That man had a high fever and couldn’t even stand properly. Even if he could carry Qingqiu upstairs, he… wouldn’t have the strength to do anything…
Turning to look at the blushing servant, she raised her eyebrows and took a bite of the bun.
“Why are you blushing?”
The servant blushed even more at the question.
“I… Mr Li… kissed Missy in the living room last night…”
“Cough cough…”
She thought that this young lady had imagined a romantic scene in her mind because Li Tingshen carried Qingqiu upstairs.
Unexpectedly…
How impatient was he to start in the living room?
The servant pushed her aside without another word.
When she heard the commotion last night, she happened to bump into that kind of thing.
Especially the way Mr Li was hugging Missy…
His voice was low and gentle as he kissed her intimately. Every word and action was extremely emotional.
The Li Tingshen in her impression was the same as the Li Tingshen in everyone’s eyes.
He was noble, elegant, and aloof. This kind of romantic relationship didn’t seem to suit him.
However, once such a cold and handsome man was addicted to that kind of thing, the hormones he exuded were simply surprising and fascinating.

Li Tingshen was the first to wake up. When he saw the familiar room, he paused for a few seconds.
He deliberately recalled what happened last night and his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw the woman sleeping in his arms.
Her beautiful and exquisite face was in his arms. Her eyebrows were thin and soft, and she was sleeping soundly.
He held his breath and stared at her face quietly. He looked at her again and again brazenly. He was so meticulous that he could even see the hair at the edge of her hairline clearly.
Unable to resist, he bent down and kissed her forehead.
The sleeping woman frowned and snuggled into his embrace.
His body stiffened. The soft water carried the fragrance of her body. It was a long-lost familiarity.
He tightened his grip on her waist, his warm and broad chest almost enveloping her.
The suffocating feeling made Ye Qingqiu frown. Before she opened her eyes, her thoughts were already active.
Then, she moved and reached out to push the man’s body.
Sensing that she had woken up, Li Tingshen released her slightly and lowered his head to press against her forehead.
A low and hoarse voice sounded on her eyelids.
“You’re awake?”
Her eyebrows twitched and the man’s kiss landed on the tip of her nose again.
Ye Qingqiu tilted her head. Her voice was confused and her tone sounded cold.
“Are you done?”
“I can’t.”
Li Tingshen said stubbornly. Although he was dizzy from the fever last night, he could still remember what he had said.
Even if she was lazy, he had to keep her by his side.
She didn’t do it willingly last night.
If he allowed her to make a decision, she would definitely chase him away and never let him see her again. She wouldn’t even be able to get along with him peacefully like a few days ago.
No way.
That wasn’t what he wanted.
“Are you trying to strangle me?”
Ye Qingqiu spoke coldly again, successfully making Li Tingshen let go of her.
Ye Qingqiu sat up on the bed and crossed her legs as she looked at Li Tingshen.
No matter what the situation was now, Li Tingshen didn’t want to be looked down on in front of Ye Qingqiu.
He then sat up and leaned against the headboard.
In the blink of an eye, she saw the basin and towel on the cabinet.
He fell silent for two seconds and realized that his body seemed to be much more relaxed than a few days ago.
His lips twitched and a smile appeared in his eyes. He turned to look at her.
Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes.
“I’m worried that you’ll die in my bed.”
Even as the words left her mouth, she frowned.
Li Tingshen reached out to grab her wrist and said with a faint smile, “You’ll have to worry every day in the future.”
There was a hidden meaning in his words and Ye Qingqiu could naturally hear it. She tried her best to retract her hand but failed.
“Li Tingshen.”
“I’ve already said it last night. Qingqiu, stop asking me to let you go. I won’t let you go again. You can hit me or scold me. I’ll treat you well. No one will treat you better than me. Don’t think of leaving me…”
As he spoke, he pulled her into his embrace and pressed her head against his forehead.
“Just stay by my side, okay? As long as you don’t leave me, I’ll do whatever you want.”
“If I don’t…”
“You have to be responsible. Ye Qingqiu, you were the one who provoked me back then. You insisted that I love you. You said that you love me, so we have to be together. You said that you don’t love me, so we shouldn’t be together. That’s not fair.”
That was what he had said last night.
It seemed like he was sober last night.
“Li Tingshen, are you sure you have to be so shameless?”
Li Tingshen stroked her messy hair. “I gave you a chance. If you didn’t seize it, you wouldn’t have it.”
“Your decision is too torturous. You can say whatever you want. As long as I can keep you, I’ll accept it even if you torture me and take revenge on me.”
Ye Qingqiu straightened her body and looked at him quietly. “I’ve already asked you to say it. Is it useless no matter what I say?”
Li Tingshen nodded calmly. “Yes, it’s useless.”
“Li Tingshen, aren’t you afraid that I’ll poison you or stab you to death one day?”
“… Sure.”
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “You probably think that I still love you. That’s why you came to my door to freeload and I let you freeload. I can’t bear to see you not living well, so when someone asked me to get you out of the room, I really got you out. You’ve been guarding my door with a high fever for the past few days. My heart ached, so I opened the door to visit you at night. I was worried that your brain would be damaged from the fever, so I endured the pain and fatigue to take care of you. No one is smarter than you. I’ve only loved you in my life. I’ve never loved anyone else, nor have I ever thought of loving anyone else. What you think is right. I do love you.”
Li Tingshen’s relaxed expression gradually darkened.
He didn’t feel happy that she had suddenly admitted that she still loved him.
“I’ve always felt that the opposite of love is hatred. The two don’t exist in parallel. But now, I feel that it’s not. It’s true that I love you, but it’s also true that I hate you.”
“I was the one who committed the original sin back then, but you can’t escape from the relationship. Bo Jinchuan said that my father has heart disease. From what he said, Li Tingshen, my father is half dead and Brother Ye Ze is alive. Even if everything you did back then was because you love me, how do you think we can be together with that one and a half lives between us?”
