Chapter 172 Don't Sleep in Separate Beds

Gu Mian raised his eyes and looked at him, "What?"

"I said I went to Gu Xingzhi." Li Tingshen smiled, "I told him that I would give up everything except you."

Gu Mian was slightly startled.

She couldn't deny that his possessiveness made her palpitate.

But more of it is oppression.

"Why do you think there is something going on between me and Xingzhi?" Gu Mian looked at him puzzledly, recalling in his mind, "Did I do anything to make you think this way?"

Although she had known Gu Xingzhi since childhood, she had not forgotten her married status. Even though he was half a family member, she maintained a normal social distance and did not cross the line.

So she really didn't understand why Li Tingshen would mind so much.

Or maybe, what Li Ting cares about most is not the relationship between her and Gu Xingzhi, but the fact that Gu Xingzhi is a member of the Li family?

Gu Mian thinks this is more likely.

"It's all over." Li Tingshen hugged her.

From the moment he burned the diary, everything was over.

Now he just wants to stay with her and the child and live a good life.

......

Gu Mian stayed in bed at home for a few days, but couldn't bear it any longer, so he went to work at a Chinese medicine clinic.

Just after seeing a patient, my cell phone rang.

Gu Mian opened the phone and answered, "Aunt, are you looking for me?"

"Mianmian, your house and ancestral hall have been renovated. Do you want to come back and warm up your home?"

Gu Mian was puzzled, "What? I didn't renovate the house."

"No way? Didn't you ask someone to come back and renovate the Gu family ancestral hall and your old house? It cost a lot of money, and the cousins ​​at home all praised you and praised you for being promising and grateful."

Gu Mianlian thought of something and asked, "Can you take some pictures for me?"

"Okay, wait."

Gu Mian soon received photos and videos sent by his great-aunt.

The Gu family ancestral hall was renovated in a grand manner. The original structure of the old house remained unchanged, but it was renovated inside and out, making it look like a new house.

It looks like this is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.

"Aunt, when did the renovation of this house begin?"

"The day after you left, someone named Xiao Cheng came to me to get the key to your house, saying he was here to help you with the renovation. Xiao Cheng also left a subordinate here who is very responsible and has been keeping an eye on the progress."

You don't need to ask about it, you know it's a procedure.

"I understand, cousin. I will go back when I have time."

"Okay, remember to let me know when you get back."

"Um."

......

In the evening, Li Tingshen came to the Chinese Medicine Hall to pick up Gu Mian after get off work.

As soon as we got in the car, Gu Mian asked, "Have you sent people to renovate our ancestral hall and house?"

Li Tingshen fastened her seat belt and said, "Yes."

Gu Mian said softly, "Actually you don't have to do this for me."

"I didn't do this for you." Li Ting looked at her deeply, "I did it for grandma."

"I want to renovate the house and take you back to live there more often. She will definitely be very happy."

Gu Mian's eyes were sore, "Yeah."

I've been feeling sleepy these days and went to bed early after dinner.

When I woke up, I found it was only a little after ten o'clock in the evening.

She suddenly lost all sleepiness and got up to get some water.

When I walked to the door of the guest room, I suddenly heard some noise coming from inside.

Gu Mian opened the door curiously, and through the crack in the door, he saw Li Tingshen sitting on the floor installing the crib.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice the door was opened.

Gu Mian's heart moved, and he felt that the high wall in his heart that isolated him from the outside was collapsing.

Li Tingshen was studying the drawings when he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked over.

"Why did you get up?" Li Tingshen stood up and walked towards her, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Gu Mian shook his head and said, "Get up and drink some water."

"I'll pour it for you."

Li Tingshen quickly poured a glass of warm water.

Gu Mian asked as he drank, "Isn't it too early to put up a crib now?"

"It will take a while to install it, and I plan to convert my study into a child's room. It faces south and is next to the master bedroom, so it will be convenient for us to take care of him."

Gu Mian curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."

"You go to bed first, I'll pack the rest."

"Um."

Gu Mian returned to the master bedroom, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared in a daze at the inky night outside.

I don't know how much time passed, Li Tingshen opened the door and walked in, "Why aren't you asleep yet, huh?"

Gu Mian paused for a moment and said, "I just slept for a while, and now I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore."

"I have to sleep even if I'm not sleepy. I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Then I'll lie down and let it brew for a while."

"good."

Gu Mian went to lie down on the bed, and Li Tingshen covered her with a blanket, "Go to sleep."

Gu Mian looked at him and said, "I want to go back to my hometown."

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and take you back to live for a while."

"Thank you."

"Go to sleep."

He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Li Tingshen leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows, then turned off the lights and left.

......

Within two days, Li Tingshen took Gu Mian back to his hometown.

This time, in addition to the two of them, Li Tingshen also brought Yang's mother and another servant to take care of him and take care of his sleep.

Gu Mian still lived in his own room and arranged for them to live in the guest room on the first floor and his uncle's room respectively.

The house is well decorated, simple yet classy, ​​very much in line with Gu Meng's aesthetic.

Mother Yang cooked dinner, and after dinner, Li Tingshen took Gu Mian's hand and went out for a walk.

The night in the small town is not as lively as that in the capital, but Gu Mian enjoys the tranquility and peace of this moment.

There were many people sitting on both sides of the river, and when they saw Gu Mian, they greeted him warmly.

"Is Miss Gu back?"

"You've become more beautiful again... Who is this handsome guy next to you?"

Gu Mian introduced, "This is my husband, his last name is Li."

"Is Miss Gu married? They are a perfect match, talented and pretty."

"Thank you, grandma."

Li Tingshen couldn't help but feel excited when he saw her introducing herself.

He originally thought that Gu Mian was unwilling to make their relationship public.

Gu Mian held Li Tingshen's hand and walked forward.

"When I was little, I loved to hold my grandparents' hands and take a walk after dinner, saying hello to the neighbors along the way, and the three of us would walk around chatting and laughing, and then go home to sleep."

"Grandpa said that he hoped he could live longer, so that when I grow up, get married and have children, he and grandma would hold my children's hands and help them grow up."

"It's a pity that neither he nor his grandmother lived to see that day..."

Li Ting held her hand tightly and said, "When our child is born, we will hold his hand and walk this path again. Grandpa and grandma in heaven will be pleased to see us."

Gu Mian nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

......

The two of them walked around and returned home. Gu Mian ate the bird's nest stewed by Yang's mother and then went to take a shower.

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Li Tingshen sitting beside the bed.

Seeing Gu Mian coming out, Li Tingshen stood up and walked over, "Can I help you blow dry your hair?"

"good."

Li Tingshen took out a hair dryer and helped Gu Mian dry his hair.

The sound of the hair dryer stopped, and just as Gu Mian was about to speak, Li Tingshen hugged her from behind.

"Go to sleep." The man's low and hoarse voice rang in her ears, "Let's not sleep in separate beds, okay?"
