Chapter 121 The pursuit begins

Gu Mian’s eyes widened. So this was the tuition fee he was talking about!

While she was distracted, Gu Mian had already been pressed deep into the quilt by Li Ting, their lips intertwined and their breathing became rapid.

Gu Mian slowly closed his eyes and responded to him carefully...

After a long while, the two of them stopped, panting.

Gu Mian's face was flushed, and it was unclear whether it was because he was holding it in or because he was embarrassed.

She didn't dare look directly into Li Ting's lustful eyes. Her heart ached when she thought that he couldn't continue.

"I should go take a shower."

Gu Mian didn't dare let him see her heartache at the moment, because her heartache would also hurt his self-esteem as a man.

"good."

......

The next day was Saturday, and Gu Mian went to Pei's house to see Xiaobao as usual.

She played with Xiaobao for the whole afternoon, and when she heard from the servant that Pei Jianchuan had returned, she went to his study.

"Gu Mian, sit down." Pei Jianchuan greeted, "I went to the company to work overtime today, and I came back late. How is Xiaobao?"

"Xiaobao is in good health and in a good mood. He likes the two new nannies and has adapted to the new kindergarten. I believe he will get better and better."

Pei Jianchuan poured her a glass of water and said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do." Gu Mian took a sip of water and said, "Actually, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you."

"You say."

Gu Mian got straight to the point, "Ting Shen and I have talked it out and made peace. You know he is very possessive, and he had some misunderstandings about us, so he shot you last time."

"His physical condition is different now, and he is more sensitive psychologically. He doesn't like me to have too much contact with the opposite sex, so I think we should try to avoid meeting each other in the future to avoid him misunderstanding."

"I will still take half a day every week to accompany Xiaobao until he no longer needs me, but I want to change the meeting place to my home. I will ask the driver to pick him up every week, and then send him back after dinner. Do you think this is feasible?"

Pei Jianchuan listened to her quietly, smiled faintly, and said, "Gu Mian, did you hear something?"

"What?"

Pei Jianchuan asked directly, "Did Mrs. Ji tell you something?"

Gu Mian was stunned for a moment, but did not deny it. "So is what she said true?"

"Yes." Pei Jianchuan looked at her calmly with a warm smile on his face. "It's not shameful for a single man to like a woman and to wait for her to become single again before pursuing her... The only miscalculation is that she didn't become single again smoothly."

Gu Mian didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and his mind was a little confused for a moment.

She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mr. Pei, I appreciate your kindness, but it's impossible for us to be together."

When Pei Jianchuan heard her changed the name, he already knew her attitude.

"Gu Mian, I'm sorry for being so abrupt." Pei Jianchuan stared at her seriously, "But I still want to know why I lost. Is it because I'm married and have children?"

Gu Mian shook his head, "You are very good, and Xiaobao is very cute. I believe there will be many girls in this world who want to start a family with you."

"That means I'm late." Pei Jianchuan smiled faintly, "If I could have known you earlier..."

"Mr. Pei!" Gu Mian interrupted him, looking serious, "How can you say such a thing? Get to know me earlier? How early? Before marriage? Where do you put Mrs. Pei? After marriage? Do you want to cheat?"

Pei Jianchuan then realized what he had said, "Sorry, I didn't mean that."

"There are many things that go wrong in this world, but many things are God's will, just like the car accident that Ting Shen got into, which tied him and me together. Just like there is no possibility between you and me, we should all accept the arrangement of fate calmly."

"I understand." Pei Jianchuan sighed, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble in the future. As for Xiaobao, I will follow your arrangements. Just tell me where to send him in advance, and I will arrange for someone to send him there."

"Thank you."

Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

She liked simple and transparent relationships, so she made things clear to Pei Jianchuan as soon as possible.

......

Gu Mian was going to the supermarket to buy groceries, so she didn't let Li Tingshen come to Pei's house to pick her up.

When she went home with two bags of vegetables, Li Tingshen was busy in the study.

"You don't have a job, do you?" Gu Mian asked curiously, "Why do you still sit in front of the computer every day?"

"I can't let Mrs. Li support me all my life." Li Tingshen explained, "Let's see if there are any projects that can be invested in."

"Then you take your time and watch. I'll go cook."

Gu Mian had just walked into the kitchen to wash vegetables when the man's hands circled her waist from behind.

Her back was pressed against the man's chest, feeling warm.

"Aren't you looking at investments?"

"I haven't seen you for the whole afternoon. I want to keep you company." The man's thin lips were pressed against her ear, and the hot breath he exhaled made her itch. "I'm cooking, don't bother me..."

"Did you see Pei Jianchuan this afternoon?"

"Um."

"What did you talk about?"

There was a sly glint in Gu Mian's eyes. "We've talked so much, I don't even know where to start."

Li Tingshen's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Mrs. Li, I'll give you one more chance to speak properly."

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "You are really angry, you are so petty!"

Li Tingshen couldn't help but pinch her waist, "Who is petty, huh?"

Gu Mian was afraid of itching, so he begged for mercy, "I, I, I! I am so petty!"

She turned around and looked at him seriously, "I have already made an agreement with Mr. Pei that Xiaobao and I will meet outside in the future. I don't need to go to Pei's house anymore."

"Why did you suddenly decide this?"

"I'm married, so I should keep my distance from the opposite sex."

Li Tingshen lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows.

He had never paid much attention to her before.

It turns out that grandma has a sharp eye and she is indeed a very good wife.

He owed her too much, and he would slowly make it up to her in the future.

For a lifetime.

......

At night, Gu Mian began to learn self-defense.

Li Tingshen took her to the gym and pointed at the punching bag, "You girls are not very strong, start training with this."

"Mr. Li, you seem to be really professional."

"I won't be soft on you even if you flatter me. Let's get started."

Li Tingshen is very patient and has very strict requirements. After more than an hour, I feel more tired when I go to sleep than after a day of work.

I took a hot bath to relax, and then got ready for bed.

Li Tingshen came back from taking a shower in the second bedroom and pushed her shoulder, "Don't go to sleep yet, you still have other things to practice."

"No way?" Gu Mian was puzzled. "I have already taken a shower."

"You can practice other things after taking a shower."

"What."

"Close combat."

After Li Tingshen finished speaking, he approached her and pressed her down, "Try to escape from my arms."

Gu Mian: "......"

"Are you sure this is self-defense practice?"

Rather than some other intention?

Li Ting raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you hope for?"

"Nothing." Gu Mian swallowed and said, "Mr. Li, your teaching method is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"If a bad guy was pressuring me like this, I would definitely choose to attack him at his most vulnerable spot, and only by hitting him with one strike would I have a chance of escaping. That's what I did last time in Haicheng."

That's where a man's most vulnerable spot is.

But how could she do that to him?

"Mrs. Li is right, my teaching method is wrong." Li Ting curled his lips deeply, "Today's teaching is over. Now is not the teaching time, but..."

Just as Gu Mian was about to ask what it was, the man bent down and kissed her lips.

Gu Mian: "......"

She said he had other intentions!
