Chapter 159 Wake Her Up

Gu Mian's face immediately turned red as if blood could drip out, "Grandma..."

"Don't worry, this house is well soundproofed, grandma didn't hear anything." The old lady covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Grandma just saw that you didn't get up all morning, so she guessed, and I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

Gu Mian's face suddenly turned redder.

On the other hand, the man next to him remained calm.

Li Ting hugged Gu Mian's waist tightly, "Grandma, we just want you to hold your great-grandson as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, this is the most important thing for our family." The old lady said, "I asked Mother Yang to make some nourishing soup for you. Go and eat quickly, and remember to drink two more bowls of soup."

Li Tingshen held Gu Mian's hand and walked into the restaurant.

Mother Yang brought the hot dishes over.

Li Tingshen poured a bowl of soup for Gu Mian and said, "Eat more."

Gu Mian was indeed very hungry, but he couldn't get angry with him in front of the old lady, so he could only pick up the spoon and drink the soup.

......

After dinner, Li Tingshen went to the study to work.

Gu Mian went back to his room and took a bath. Standing under the shower, he thought of the ridiculous scene here last night and his legs couldn't stop shaking.

Just as Gu Mian put on his clothes and went out, Aunt Zhang came and nodded respectfully, reporting, "Madam, I just received news that the master broke up with Yin Luoxue."

Madam Li calmly drank her tea and asked, "When did it happen?"

"That morning, Yin Luoxue learned that her husband was looking for a woman in Shengshi Huangchao. She was so angry that she ran directly from the hospital and started to tear it up. In the end, she left crying. It was obvious that she didn't get what she wanted."

"Then the gentleman instructed his assistant to revoke the black card privileges that he had given to Yin Luoxue and not allow her to set foot in the Li Group or his villa."

"Yin Luoxue is so capable, it's not surprising that she has come to this." The old lady patted Gu Mian's hand, "Mian girl, Yin Luoxue must be full of hatred and has nowhere to vent it, and the person she hates the most must be you, you must be extra careful."

"Don't worry, grandma. I will be careful."

......

A day goes by in a flash.

At night, Gu Mian went to bed early.

When Li Ting came in deeply, she didn't pretend to be asleep.

Anyway, even if she was asleep, he had plenty of ways to wake her up.

Maybe because he had a very comfortable night last night, he was in a good mood today. After washing up, he lay down and hugged her directly, "Go to sleep if you are sleepy."

"Ting Shen, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"You say."

"The branch of the Chinese Medicine Hall in Haicheng has just opened, and there is a serious shortage of staff. In addition, there is no master to take charge, so the locals and people in the surrounding areas are still used to going to the Chinese Medicine Hall in the imperial capital."

"So Master wants me to stay there for a while. I am Master's disciple. If I stay in Haicheng, I should be able to handle it."

Li Tingshen frowned slightly, "So you want to go to Haicheng?"

"yes."

"Okay." Li Ting thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

Gu Mian was stunned. "Isn't the MS Group very busy? And I'm not only gone for a day or two."

"I know I can work remotely without any delays."

Gu Mian: "......"

She went to Haicheng to avoid him. If he went with her, why would she go through this journey?

"Why did you go with me?" Gu Mian looked at him, "To monitor me?"

Li Ting frowned, "Gu Mian, do you know what you are saying?"

"Isn't it?" Gu Mian smiled bitterly. "With your morbid possessiveness, you would torture me to death if Xingzhi even touched my clothes. How could you let me go to Haicheng alone?"

Li Tingshen's eyes turned cold in an instant, and his chest felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Gu Mian, do you have a heart?"

MS Group is indeed very busy. Li Hongxuan and Gu Xingzhi are watching closely, so he cannot relax for even a single day.

But he still decided to accompany her to Haicheng, because she almost died the last time she went to Haicheng alone.

He didn't want her to experience such an accident again, so he wanted to go with her to protect her.

But she felt he was spying on her.

In her eyes, is he so unbearable?

Or is it because the real person who disappeared for five years has come back, and everything his substitute does is wrong?

"I'm asking you a question!" Li Tingshen's face became increasingly gloomy, and he asked, "Gu Mian, do you have a heart, huh?"

Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "I also hope that I don't have a heart."

If I didn't have a heart, I wouldn't be tortured so much by him.

She now has no idea how to get along with him.

Loving, yet wanting to escape.

She is really tired.

But she couldn't even escape.

"So what do you want to do now?" Li Ting asked, "Still going to Haicheng?"

"No."

Li Ting sneered, "You just said you were going to Haicheng, and I said I would go with you, but you didn't want to go, so Gu Mian, you actually want to avoid me, right?"

"Yes." Gu Mian did not deny, "I don't know how to get along with you now."

Li Tingshen was not angry but laughed, "Now that Gu Xingzhi is back, you don't know how to get along with me? Gu Mian, you really are too lazy to even pretend..."

"What happened between us has nothing to do with Xingzhi."

"How can it have nothing to do with him!" Li Ting said angrily, "Everything happened because of him, and you tell me it has nothing to do with him?"

Gu Mian was puzzled, "What did he do to make you hate him so much?"

Li Ting stared at her seriously, "Shouldn't I be asking you this?"

Gu Mian was puzzled and the only possibility was that Gu Xingzhi returned to Li's home.

"Xingzhi just took what you didn't want, didn't he?"

Li Ting was startled.

What Gu Xingzhi took away was her heart, so what she meant was that he didn't want her heart, so that's why Gu Xingzhi took it away?

"Who told you I don't want it!" Li Tingshen said word by word, "Even if I don't want it, he has no right to take it!"

Gu Mian looked at him calmly.

She had long been accustomed to Li Tingshen's dominance, and was extremely exhausted.

"Whatever you want." Gu Mian turned over and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first."

Li Ting looked at her deeply for a long time before he lifted the quilt, stood up, and went to the terrace to smoke.

......

After this day, the relationship between the two came to a complete deadlock.

In front of the old lady, they seemed to be normal, but when the door was closed, Gu Mian couldn't pretend at all.

Fortunately, Li Tingshen seemed to be very busy and had to work overtime almost every day. Many times when he came back, Gu Mian had already fallen asleep.

Although the two people were lying on the same bed, they were far apart, and the space in between was large enough for another person to lie down.

Old Madam Li found nothing unusual and returned home after staying there for ten days or so.

Gu Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, the two of them lay down on their own as usual.

Just as Gu Mian was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir." Mother Yang's voice came from outside the door, "Miss Yin is here, and she said she has something urgent to discuss with you."

Li Tingshen was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, he said coldly, "Tell her to get out!"

Mother Yang said awkwardly, "I did, but she said it was about saving you that year..."
