Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!-Chapter 2085
Chapter 2085: I’m Not Bargaining
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Chu stepped forward. “Miss Ye.”
He felt a lingering fear.
Other than seeing Ye Qingqiu’s hysterical breakdown in court three years ago, he had never seen her lose control like this.
In the past, she would do whatever she wanted even if it was just a slap. She was nonchalant and didn’t panic at all. Even when she was angry, she was arrogant and elegant.
But now, she was like an enraged leopard, completely dominated by anger. She wanted to bite and tear everyone who angered her.
!!Although Liang Xuer was in a sorry state, she smiled happily when she saw Ye Qingqiu’s enraged expression.
“I’ve said it before, don’t be smug in front of me… Ye Qingqiu, don’t even think about having what I can’t have with a clear conscience… Are you very angry? Do you want to kill me? That’s right, because I thought so back then. I hate you to the core because you’re from the Ye family. Because you’re doted on by the Ye family. Because of the Ye family, I lost my closest parents. Because of you, you stole the man I love the most… How can you not make me hate you?”
Because of Li Tingshen’s appearance, Ye Qingqiu’s emotions had stabilized. After hearing Liang Xuer’s words, her eyes were filled with coldness.
“Liang Xuer, you’re a lunatic.”
“That’s because you forced me!”
Liang Xuer was furious. Her red eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Ye Qingqiu.
“Why is it always you? You’re the one who’s favored and loved. What’s good about you?! What’s good about you?! Why didn’t I let you die in that explosion back then…”
“Slap—”
The air was dead silent.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
Liang Xuer fell to the ground and covered her face with her hand. Her messy hair covered her face, and no one could see her expression.
Li Tingshen pulled Ye Qingqiu behind him, his handsome face filled with coldness and anger. He looked down at Liang Xuer coldly.
“Bring her in.”
In the end, he didn’t say anything to Liang Xuer. As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant and two nurses, who were leaning against the door, hurried forward to help Liang Xuer up.
Li Tingshen turned around and his gaze landed on the stunned Ye Qingqiu.
They were speechless.
Finally, she retracted her gaze and said, “Bring her back to rest.”
Ye Qingqiu snapped out of her trance and looked at Li Tingshen. “I’ll transfuse blood to Grandpa tomorrow.”
“There’s no need.”
“Li Tingshen…”
“Didn’t you hear me asking you to bring her back?”
Li Tingshen’s cold gaze landed on Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu didn’t dare to delay and went forward. Looking at the stubborn and motionless Ye Qingqiu, she didn’t know what to do.
In the end, Li Tingshen walked over with a dark expression and carried her before walking out.
“… Li Tingshen, I can’t let anything happen to Grandpa…”
“Neither can I.”
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flickered as she looked at the man’s handsome side profile. She pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.
“If she doesn’t want to…”
“You can’t.”
He hadn’t kept it a secret until now because he didn’t want her to fight to be his blood.
He placed Ye Qingqiu in the car and personally buckled her seatbelt. Then, he looked into her eyes that were filled with resistance and anger in the dim car and said calmly,
“Just pretend that you don’t know anything. Go back and sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up.”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him coldly and asked, “Is your sleep a miracle drug?”
“It’s fine if I don’t know, but since I know, there’s no reason for me not to be there tomorrow… If anything happens, Li Tingshen, will you bear the consequences?”
Li Tingshen paused.
Her calm heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was a deep silence in her eyes and her voice was hoarse.
“Other than getting rid of me and not wanting me, I can accept anything else.”
Ye Qingqiu’s fingertips curled slightly.
After a long while, she said slowly, “That’s indeed a consequence that you can’t bear. So, are you sure you want to send me away?”
Li Tingshen’s dark eyes flickered slightly. After a long while, he said hoarsely, “What if I ask you to stay?”
Ye Qingqiu looked at him indifferently and said, “Li Tingshen, I’m not bargaining with you.”
The expression on Li Tingshen’s face darkened instantly. He paused for a while before carrying her out of the car.
“Go find a resting room.”
Xiao Chu responded and quickly entered the hospital.
There was a top-notch ward in the hospital and it was usually empty. Xiao Chu quickly booked a room and Li Tingshen carried Ye Qingqiu in.
“Rest here tonight.”
“I’m going for a checkup. If Liang Xuer escapes tomorrow, I’ll do it…”
Li Tingshen’s face darkened. “There’s no need to check.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned at him. “Are you going to stop me from doing anything?”
Li Tingshen remained silent.
Xiao Chu watched anxiously from the side and hurriedly said, “It’s not like that, Miss Ye. There’s information about you in the bone marrow fitting library. Your bone marrow and blood type are compatible with Old Master Ye. You don’t have to go through another physical examination.”
Ye Qingqiu glanced at Li Tingshen. His taciturn personality made her sulk for no reason.
“Get out. I don’t want to see you.”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips and stood up to look at her.
Xiao Chu inexplicably felt the awkwardness and pity of being despised and chased away.
She had seen him being aloof and aloof in the past. Only he would despise and hate others. She had never seen him being treated the opposite.
The difference was too great, making one feel even more sympathetic.
He didn’t move for a long time. Ye Qingqiu raised her head and frowned at him. “Why don’t I go out?”
She was about to get up when Li Tingshen pressed her shoulder.
“I’ll go out.”
With that, he turned around.
Xiao Chu hurriedly followed, but Li Tingshen instructed him to stay and take care of her.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. What care?
Was he worried that she would run away?
But where was his brain?
She was the one who insisted on staying just now. Grandpa had an operation tomorrow, so how could she leave?
Xiao Chu didn’t walk in. He might be at the door.
Ye Qingqiu felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Liang Xuer’s crazy words were being filtered in her mind.
Even now, she couldn’t believe that everything back then was done by Liang Xuer.
She used Qin Hao’s feelings for her to turn the Ye and Li families upside down.
Just thinking about what had happened three years ago made her feel depressed. She couldn’t let go no matter what.
Xiao Chu came in with dinner and sighed when she saw the slender figure standing by the window.
“Miss Ye, CEO Li asked me to prepare dinner for you.”
When Ye Qingqiu turned around, Xiao Chu had already served dinner.
Recently, the three meals arranged by Li Tingshen were all bland.
Although her taste wasn’t strong, she could eat some occasionally.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know.
It was obvious that Ye Qingqiu was not satisfied with the food in front of her. Xiao Chu remained silent for a while before passing the chopsticks to Ye Qingqiu.
“Because of the food, Miss Liang had a huge fight with CEO Li today.”
Ye Qingqiu was expressionless. “Could it be that Li Tingshen has wronged her in terms of food?”
“Pork liver, beef, chicken soup…”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “Isn’t it good?”
“These are the best food for replenishing blood.”
When Ye Qingqiu heard that, her hand that was holding the chopsticks paused.
“But these things are hair products… People with injuries have to avoid eating these things because it will delay the healing of the wound and even leave scars.”
Her gaze landed on the light dinner in front of her and she found it difficult to move her chopsticks.
“Three years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Old Master Ye was critically ill. At that time, Miss Liang had just finished her skin transplant when she was forcefully brought to the ward by CEO Li… In the past three years, no matter how well CEO Li treated Miss Liang, it was all because he didn’t want you to hate him even more.”
“Because no one knows if you will blame CEO Li if Grandpa leaves one after another while you’re in prison.”
“He has been slowly recuperating your body. If you give Old Master a blood transfusion, your body won’t be able to take it.”
Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes and ate without saying anything.
Xiao Chu couldn’t understand what she meant. In this atmosphere, it would be too insensible if he continued.

Downstairs, after the doctor did a physical cooling, there was a series of tests to eliminate the virus infection and plug in the fever bolt.
“Didn’t the child cry? It’s 38.8 degrees Celsius. Her body temperature didn’t rise all of a sudden.”
Shen Fanxing shook her head in confusion. “He’s very obedient.”
The doctor shook his head helplessly. “The child’s illness will definitely give us an omen. He’s feeling unwell himself. He’s so young, how can he endure it?”
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and listened to the doctor quietly, like a mother who was being criticized.
She was supposed to be gentle and humble, but when she saw Bo Jinchuan, she felt as though she had been bullied.
He frowned and his face turned cold. His voice deepened.
“He will always endure it. Do you have a problem with that?”
The doctor was so frightened that his body stiffened. The corners of his lips twitched as he shook his head and hid.
“No… no objections.”
“Ah Chuan…”
Bo Jinchuan’s eyes were still cold.
“He bullied you.”
“We have to remember what the doctor said.”
Bo Jinchuan refused to listen and asked, “Are you tired? I’ll bring you home to rest.”
Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “Linlin is still asleep. Let’s wait a while more. We’ll go back after his fever subsides.”
“Call Ye Qingqiu!”
“The call hasn’t gone through. Linlin doesn’t have anything else to do. If her fever can go down, don’t inform her. Old Master Ye is having an operation tomorrow. Ask her to come to the hospital and hear something… Isn’t Li Tingshen going to hide it from her?”
Bo Jinchuan couldn’t win against Shen Fanxing.
“Then I’ll get someone to prepare a ward. You can rest with him.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Okay.”
Not long after, Bo Jinchuan took out his phone and dialed a number. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure standing less than ten meters away from him.
His dark eyes narrowed slowly.
A response came from the phone. He said calmly, “Yes, prepare a ward.”

At the end of the corridor leading to the hospital park, Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks. He slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist.
“Sorry, can I have one?”
He spoke slowly, his voice tense.
Hearing this, the man who was smoking secretly looked up at him.
Under the dim light, she couldn’t see the man’s features clearly, but the forbearance and oppression he exuded made her feel suffocated.
The man took out a cigarette and passed it to him before lighting it himself.
“Thank you.” His voice was low and hoarse.
“Brother, be more open-minded. Everyone has a journey from life to death. There’s no need to be too sad. We just have a clear conscience.”
Li Tingshen took the cigarette from his lips and held it between his fingers. His fingers trembled slightly.
“What does it mean to have a clear conscience? What if someone died because of you?”
“Everyone’s life and death are arranged. How they die at a young age is not up to us. After being sad, life still has to go on track. We still have our own lives to lead. We have to be filial to the old, be filial to our children, be loyal to our wives, and do our best to our friends… We have to do our best and not force ourselves. Our conscience is clear.”
Li Tingshen listened quietly and took a deep puff.
To be filial to the elderly, to the children, to his wife, to his friends…
He gave a sudden chuckle. “You seem to be in a good mood.”
The man stubbed out the remaining cigarette in his mouth and threw it into the trash can.
“My father passed away last month. Today, my wife has given birth to a second child and she gave birth to a son for me! I’ll be happy first before I earn milk powder and money for my wife. We have to look forward. We don’t have so much time to grieve over the past. It’s meaningless.”
Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “…Indeed.”
Before the man left, he left him another cigarette.
Li Tingshen leaned against the wall and finished his cigarette silently. Half an hour had passed.
*
After arranging for Linlin to stay in the ward, Shen Fanxing stayed by his side and touched his forehead from time to time.
Bo Jinchuan stood at the side, looking jealous.
“Shen Fanxing.”
“Yes?”
“You didn’t have dinner today.”
Shen Fanxing paused and pursed her lips in silence.
“Suffering your own child for someone else’s child, huh?”
“Let’s go out for dinner.”
“But Linlin…”
“I’ll get someone to take care of him.”
Shen Fanxing didn’t dare to go against Bo Jinchuan over dinner.
However, just as the two of them opened the door and went out, they saw the man leaning against the wall.
He was tall and handsome.
Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing stopped in their tracks.
Li Tingshen straightened his body slowly and turned to look at them. His expression was calm and he looked cold and indifferent.
Shen Fanxing’s expression changed, but Bo Jinchuan remained calm.
“Why are you here?”
Li Tingshen looked at the door behind them and said in a low voice.
“Look at that child.”
