Li Tingshen did not stay for dinner.

When she reached home, Ye Qingqiu had yet to return.

Xiao Chu informed him of Ye Qingqiu’s whereabouts. After washing up, he called her at 9:30 pm.

This was the first time Ye Qingqiu had accepted an invitation to attend such a gathering.

Luoluo looked really happy. In the past, she didn’t even want to delay her work at the restaurant. She wanted to save some money to support her parents who lived in a remote area. The rest was her pocket money.

As the allowance given to the family every month was fixed, if she relaxed a little, she might not even have enough for her living expenses.

She must have gritted her teeth before making the decision to treat everyone to dinner tonight.

The restaurant was not a high-end restaurant. It was just a local specialty restaurant. The prices were good and the environment was clean. They had specially chosen it.

The expenses in such a place were not worth mentioning to Ye Qingqiu. There were enough dishes, but the alcohol was a huge expense.

Ye Qingqiu saw that Luo Luo had secretly looked at her wallet a few times when she was adding alcohol. There was a hint of uneasiness and worry on her face.

Ye Qingqiu put down her glass and walked out.

When someone asked her where she was going, she replied calmly, “Toilet.”

Then, she walked to the counter and handed her card to the waiter.

“The bill for Room 206 will be deducted from here. They can have whatever they want to eat and drink.”

Looking at the black card in front of her, the waiter couldn’t help but glance at her.

“Okay.”

“Little Ye…”

A low shout came from behind. It was Luo Luo, who was worried about her going to the washroom alone.

In the end, she saw Ye Qingqiu wanting to settle the bill for her.

“Actually, there’s no need. I have enough money on me. You’ve helped me too many times. Tonight, I mainly want to thank you…”

“Thank you?” Ye Qingqiu’s expression was calm. “Then don’t say anymore. I have a lot of money. Spending money is my pleasure. I’m happy to spend money.”

Luo Luo was a little stunned. Of course, she wouldn’t really think that spending money was fun. She was just giving herself a way out.

But…

“You work hard every day to earn money…”

Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “To be honest, I don’t lack money, but I lack a sum of money that I earned myself. The meaning is different.”

Luoluo was enlightened. “You… are buying a gift for the person you like, right?”

Ye Qingqiu paused. “How did you know?”

Luoluo smiled lightly and said, “That’s because many people think that it’s most meaningful to give a gift that you’ve personally made or bought for someone you love.”

“Many people think that way?”

Ye Qingqiu asked again. Seeing Luo Luo nod, she looked a little vexed.

It turned out that many people thought so.

“Only those who truly like each other would think of such a method. If I receive such a gift, I will definitely treasure it for the rest of my life.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu’s furrowed brows relaxed.

“This is probably the only time I’ll work in my life. He naturally has to keep it for the rest of his life.”

She had told him not to take it off.

Luo Luo looked at the happiness and smugness on her face and was a little lost.

She was really pretty.

She usually looked cold and aloof, but now, it was obvious how much she liked him.

The two of them went to the washroom together. When they came out to wash their hands, Luo Luo looked at her beautiful fingers and said casually,

“Wearing a ring on your ring finger means that you’re married. It seems like he’s very domineering and has already secured you.”

Ye Qingqiu looked at the ring on her finger and smiled. “Isn’t it normal to wear a wedding ring?”

Luo Luo paused. “Married? You… are already married?”

Ye Qingqiu dried her hands and gestured for her to keep quiet.

Luo Luo couldn’t hide her surprise.

But no matter what, she was still at the edge of the entertainment industry. What she knew best was to speak less.

When she came back from the washroom, she received a call from Li Tingshen.

Ye Qingqiu stood up and walked to the side to answer the call.

“Aren’t you coming back?”

“You’re home? I’ll go back now.”

“Send me the address. I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Ye Qingqiu had left early and Li Tingshen’s car was parked outside the restaurant.

Seeing that she had fastened her seatbelt, Li Tingshen glanced at the cheap restaurant.

“I thought I was in the wrong place.”

Ye Qingqiu understood what he meant. “It’s not bad to be able to come to such a place. The young lady doesn’t have much money.”

Li Tingshen turned and drove into the traffic. “It seems like you like her a lot. You’ve received many invitations over the years, but I’ve never seen you attend them.”

“Yes, he’s not bad. He looks quite pleasing to the eye.”

“It’s rare.” Li Tingshen’s voice was calm. “Just looking at her makes you feel uncomfortable. If you really like her, how far would you go?”

“This question… so far, you’re probably the only one in the world who knows.”

Li Tingshen fell silent.

He didn’t comment.

Ye Qingqiu seemed to be thinking about this as well. After thinking for a few seconds, she said,

“I’m not sure how far I can go for you. I’ll only know after I meet you.”

“Mrs Li, do you think something might happen in the future?”

“Nothing is certain. You’d better let me be Mrs. Li for life.”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “Is this considered hope?”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head to look at his hand that was holding the steering wheel. The watch on his wrist shone under the light, changing color along with the lights on both sides of the road.

The watch was still on his wrist, but the lights outside the car were changing colors.

There were too many changes. Other than subjective factors, most of them were influenced by objective factors.

Therefore, even if it was an ordinary thing, it might become an extravagant hope.

“Yes.”

There was nothing else he wanted.

The smile on Li Tingshen’s face faded.

“If this is considered hope, what do you think will happen if you marry me? Will you lack clothes and food, or will you be homeless?”

“I’ve never thought about this.” Ye Qingqiu’s tone was bright and she deliberately disrupted the gloomy atmosphere in the car. “I like you and I want you to be mine alone. I want to live with you and do many things with you. My imagined life is the best and I’ve never thought of the worst. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to marry you without hesitation.”
