Chapter 125 Love Without Knowing Itself
Li Tingshen did not deny it, "I do know."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was thinking of helping you build bridges and pull connections!" Gu Mian said in surprise, "It's great that we know each other. You don't have to worry about being suppressed by Li Hongxuan anymore!"
"Li Hongxuan?" Li Tingshen sneered, "I have never taken him seriously."
Li Tingshen raised his hand and pinched her face, "But I am very happy to see that Mrs. Li is so concerned about my affairs."
Gu Mian leaned in his arms, "I didn't want to interfere with your affairs, but I didn't expect Li Hongxuan to suppress you. You obviously have such strong abilities. If you don't get the opportunity to display your talents because of being suppressed, it would be such a pity. So we should also think of ways to get out of the current predicament."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"Um."
As he was speaking, Gu Mian’s stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
"Hungry?"
Gu Mian was a little embarrassed. "How can I not be hungry after being tormented by you for so long?"
"Get up, I'll take you to dinner."
"No, I need to clean up here first."
"No, someone will pick it up."
Gu Mian was taken away from the skyscraper by Li Tingshen and brought to a private restaurant.
Gu Mian was already starving, and the two of them ate and chatted until around eight o'clock before leaving.
Li Ting asked, "There's a meeting soon, will you come with me?"
Gu Mian shook his head and said, "I'm not going. You go by yourself. I can just take a taxi home."
"I'll take you home first."
"No, it's not good to keep others waiting. It's very convenient for me to take a taxi."
"He's not an important person. I'll take you there first."
Gu Mian couldn't persuade him and had to agree.
Gu Mian wanted to take a walk, so Li Tingshen parked the car at the entrance of the community.
He watched Gu Mian enter the residential complex and was about to turn around and leave when, as if he suddenly realized something out of the corner of his eye, he abruptly turned his head to look across the street.
A figure staring at the community gate quickly turned around and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Li Tingshen's eyes darkened slightly, and he drove away after a moment.
......
Half an hour later, Li Tingshen arrived at Shengshi Dynasty.
"Why are you here so late?" Yan Mu joked, "Are you being pestered by your wife?"
"She's tired, take her home."
Yan Mu was a little surprised. "Yuhua Mansion and here are two different directions. You wasted at least an hour to send her off and then come here. Ting Shen, have you ever calculated how much money you can make in an hour? You actually wasted an hour on something like sending someone off?"
Li Tingshen picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, "Not everything can be measured by money."
Yan Mu was even more shocked, "You fell in love with her?"
"What I can be sure of is that I like her very much." Li Tingshen tapped the wine glass with his fingertips. "As long as she wants, I am willing to give it to her."
"Just like you did to Yin Luoxue?"
"How can Yin Luoxue compare to her." Li Tingshen took out a cigarette and lit it, "Yin Luoxue is not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
"Then it's not as simple as just taking care of the kidneys." Yan Mu smiled, "You've always been generous to women. Yin Luoxue saved your life, and you've never treated her badly in terms of material things. But this Miss Gu, what you gave her was not just money."
After all, he had taken a knife for someone else, so how could it be possible that only his kidneys were affected?
Li Tingshen has never fallen in love with a woman, and perhaps he doesn't even know what falling in love is.
So I love without knowing it.
Li Tingshen did not deny what he said.
Money means nothing in his eyes. The luxury goods that Yin Luoxue likes are not even a drop in the bucket to him, so naturally he can get whatever he wants.
But for sleep.
He really seemed to be unable to leave her.
Li Tingshen couldn't help but wonder if for a man, the first woman in his life is always different.
Otherwise, how could he be inseparable from a woman...
......
Protect Washington.
Gu Mian took off her makeup and took a shower. Just as she was about to go to bed, Gu Zhiyuan suddenly called.
"Uncle." Gu Mian picked up the phone immediately.
"Mianmian, did I disturb your rest?"
"I haven't slept yet, is there anything wrong, uncle?"
Gu Zhiyuan was a little sad. "In a few days it will be your grandmother's birthday. According to the custom in our hometown, we, the younger generation, should go back and inform relatives and neighbors of your grandmother's passing."
Gu Mian immediately agreed, "No problem for me. I can ask my master for leave."
"That would be the best, but my uncle is very busy in the store recently and I really can't spare the time. I'm afraid I can only trouble you to go back."
"Uncle, just take care of your own business and leave the things back home to me."
"Okay, remember to call me if you have any questions."
"Um."
Gu Mian hung up the phone and found the key to his hometown in the drawer in front of the dressing table.
Along with the key was the jade pendant her grandmother left for her, but she had no habit of wearing jewelry and was afraid of bumping into it, so she kept it carefully in a drawer and even put it in an exquisite box.
Gu Mian stroked the jade pendant and thought of his grandmother again. His eyes couldn't help but become moist.
She put away the jade pendant, took out the key to her hometown, and went to the cloakroom to pack her luggage.
Li Tingshen came back early, and as soon as he walked into the master bedroom, he saw a suitcase at the end of the bed.
He took a shower, lay down on the bed and kissed Gu Mian awake.
"Hmm..." Gu Mian opened his eyes drowsily, "Stop making trouble, I'm so sleepy..."
"Package for what, huh?"
"My uncle wants me to go back to my hometown. I have already asked my master for leave and will leave tomorrow."
"I'll go back with you."
"No, you are in the early stages of starting a business, don't be distracted by these things."
"I'm not busy. It's important for me to accompany you."
Gu Mian touched his face and asked, "Is it really okay?"
"No delay."
"Okay then." Gu Mian kissed the corner of his lips, "Go to sleep."
"good."
......
The next morning, the two set off for Haicheng.
After the plane landed in Haicheng, the car arranged by Li Tingshen came to the airport to pick them up and took them directly to their destination.
Gu's hometown is in a town under Haicheng. The small county town is not rich, but it is a beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was evening when we arrived in town.
As the sun sets, the slow-paced town becomes exceptionally beautiful and peaceful.
Gu Mian took Li Tingshen on a tour. "This road was the only way for me to go to school when I was a child. I walked back and forth for six years. Later, in order to give me a better educational environment, my grandparents took me to Haicheng to settle down and go to school. They only came back during the Spring Festival."
Li Ting smiled deeply and said, "This place is beautiful. No wonder Mrs. Li is so gentle and affectionate. It turns out that she grew up in such an environment."
Gu Mian blushed, "You are making fun of me!"
"I was complimenting you."
"Are you hungry?" Gu Mian raised his hand and pointed forward, "There's a noodle shop over there that serves really good food. I'll treat you to dinner."
"good."
The two of them came to the noodle shop, and the boss recognized Gu Mian at a glance, "Isn't this the girl from the Gu family?"
"Grandpa, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you still recognize me?"
"How could I not know our town beauty?"
"Thank you, Grandpa." Gu Mian responded sweetly, "Give me two bowls of beef noodles."
"Okay!"
Li Tingshen's cell phone rang. He stood up and went to the door to answer it, but his eyes were always on Gu Mian.
The boss quickly brought the beef noodles to the table, and Li Tingshen heard him say, "By the way, Gu girl, you're back just in time. Your boyfriend came back to see you a while ago!"
