Chapter 193 Misunderstanding

"Forget it?" Li Tingshen smiled bitterly, "Gu Mian, how did you manage to say these three words so casually?"

"So what was last night, huh?"

"Your body clearly likes me, can you fool yourself?"

"Yes." Gu Mian admitted frankly, "In terms of sex, you do make me feel comfortable, but that's not all there is to marriage. Just think of last night as my final farewell to you."

Li Tingshen shuddered violently!

"No wonder you were so proactive last night, you were saying goodbye to me?" Li Tingshen's eyebrows suddenly turned cold, "Gu Mian, you are really good..."

Gu Mian curled his lips and said calmly, "I am very grateful for everything you have done for me in my hometown, but... I'm sorry."

Li Tingshen slowly let go of her hand and stood up.

He looked down at her, his handsome face full of coldness.

He thought he should say something, but at this moment, saying one more word would be a slap in the face.

Li Ting sneered and turned away.

Gu Mian closed his eyes and tears rolled down his face.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and pulled the corners of her lips.

That's it.

If you don't love, you won't feel pain anymore.

......

At that time, Yan Mu's flight had just landed at the Imperial Capital Airport.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he received a call from Li Tingshen.

"Come to the Great Dynasty."

Yan Mulian didn't even bother to go back home and asked the driver to go directly to Shengshi Huangchao.

In the private room on the top floor, Li Tingshen was drinking alone.

"I say, is there anyone who oppresses others as much as you?" Yan Mu walked forward and leaned back on the sofa tiredly. "I work like a slave for you, and I just got off the plane and came to drink with you. Do you think I'm a hostess?"

"Don't flatter yourself." Li Ting bit down on his cigarette, feeling anxious and angry.

Yan Mu asked the waiter to bring him some food. After the waiter left, he drank a glass of red wine to moisten his throat, and then he spoke, "Didn't you say that you were still with her at Gumian's home two days ago? What, are you not reconciled?"

Li Ting drank wine in annoyance. "She obviously knows the truth and has not refused to have close contact with me, but she still doesn't want me... Didn't you say that there is nothing going on between her and Gu Xingzhi?"

"As far as I know, although Gu Xingzhi has been visiting Gu Mian every one or two months in the past two years, he has never had any intimate behavior with her, nor has he confirmed his relationship with her." Yan Mu analyzed, "But Gu Mian has always been a very traditional woman. Or maybe because you haven't officially divorced yet, they haven't confirmed their relationship and haven't broken through the last line of defense?"

Li Tingshen gave a bitter smile, "She loves Gu Xingzhi so much that she can act with a sense of affection and courtesy? And I, her substitute, have already been kicked out by her, right?"

Yan Mu took a sip of wine and said, "Since you're out, why force it?"

In the past two years, Li Tingshen has not taken the initiative to ask about her sleeping situation.

His temper became increasingly cold, and he worked like crazy.

The development of MS Group was even faster than they had planned, and the Li Group was almost suffocated by him.

But Yan Mu knew very well that the more he ignored Gu Mian, the more he couldn't let it go.

So as soon as Gu Mian came back, he lost control.

These two years of escape have been like a joke.

Yan Mu looked at him, "Ting Shen, I know you haven't been happy for a single day in the past two years because Gu Mian was not here."

"But Gu Mian is a very opinionated person. She knows clearly what she wants and what she doesn't want. Since she has made up her mind, don't force her. Let her go, and let yourself go..."

Li Tingshen didn't say anything, but just drank one glass after another.

......

Yan Mu didn't expect to meet Gu Mian so soon.

The next afternoon, Gu Mian called him and arranged to meet him in a cafe.

Yan Mu had work to do, so he made the appointment after get off work.

When we arrived at the café, Gu Mian was sitting by the window drinking coffee.

The girl has grown her hair longer and the ends are slightly curled, making her look more charming than two years ago.

Two years later, she not only did not become a resentful woman because of the loss of her marriage and children, but became even more beautiful and charming.

She sat there, quiet and beautiful, like a peerless oil painting.

Yan Mu suddenly understood why Li Tingshen was still obsessed with her.

Gu Mian's face is indeed unforgettable.

"Gu Mian." Yan Mu sat down opposite her, "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, I arrived a little early." Gu Mian smiled, "What would you like to drink?"

"Same as you."

Gu Mian called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee, then said, "I called your studio before and they said you were on a business trip and would be back yesterday."

"Yeah, I just came back last night." Yan Mu asked, "You're in a hurry to find me, is there something wrong?"

"Yes." Gu Mian got straight to the point. "Ting Shen and I have been separated for two years. I would like you to help me go through the process and get the divorce certificate."

Yan Mu frowned, "Are you looking for me to divorce Ting Shen?"

Gu Mian used a small spoon in his slender and beautiful hands to stir the coffee. "Well, I don't want to delay any longer."

The waiter came to deliver the food.

Yan Mudao thanked him, picked up the exquisite cup and took a sip of warm coffee, then said, "Gu Mian, why do I feel that the more anxious you are to divorce him, the more afraid you are of falling into it again?"

Gu Mian was startled, then said firmly, "I can't."

"The most successful thing I have done in the past two years is to learn to let go and avoid getting hurt."

Yan Mu sighed, "I can understand the pain you felt when Ting Shen sent you to the operating table to have your child aborted, but Gu Mian, Ting Shen has his own helplessness."

"I know." Gu Mian smiled faintly, "The pain of losing a child will fade away with time, but what will never fade away is the chill of that day."

"I don't understand. Even if he wanted to protect me, why couldn't he have a proper discussion with me? Why did he use such a fierce and cruel way to destroy all my fantasies and aspirations about marriage and love?"

"You really don't know why?" Yan Mu frowned, "In fact, Ting Shen really loves you. If his love for you is not that deep, he will not give up the child for you."

"He loves me?" Gu Mian chuckled as if he heard a joke, "He has a possessiveness towards me... You could even say he likes me a little, but he can't possibly love me."

Yan Mu looked at her, "Ting Shen is indeed a very possessive person. He cares about your past with Gu Xingzhi, but he still convinces himself to let it go again and again."

"He has such a strong sense of self-esteem, but you treat him as a substitute for Gu Xingzhi. Do you know how painful and tormented he is?"

"But he loves you so much that he doesn't even dare to confront you, fearing that once the veil is broken, you will abandon him and return to Gu Xingzhi."

"When you got pregnant, you couldn't imagine how happy he was. He was so looking forward to the birth of your and his child that he was even willing to allow you to meet Gu Xingzhi."

"But Gu Mian, because of your past with Gu Xingzhi, it has affected your and Ting Shen's child. How can you expect Ting Shen to forgive and let it go?"

Yan Mu's face darkened slightly. "The Ting Shen I know will make you give birth to the child regardless of your life or death, and then torture you and Gu Xingzhi to the point where you would rather die than live."

"He had thought about it. I heard that he had already arranged a medical team to take you to a private island abroad to wait for your birth."

"But after one night, he regretted it. He hated you, but he loved you more. He couldn't bear to see your body damaged, so he pushed you onto the operating table with his own hands."

"Gu Mian, even I didn't expect that Ting Shen would love you so much..."
