Chapter 208: Love Sleeping Too Much

Gu Mian listened quietly and asked, "Are you done?"

"In the past, I might have really been PUA'd by you and felt ashamed, but now..."

"What's going on now?" Liu Yunxi said righteously, "Aren't you still being a parasite and enjoying the noble life he brings you? ...Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that even your wedding room, Yunyue Bay, is named after me."

"Yun Yue Wan means that I, Liu Yunxi, hope to be happy."

Gu Mian was startled.

She really didn't know about this.

Liu Yunxi looked at her reaction and was very satisfied. "Gu Mian, don't think you are the most special one. In fact, you are nothing. You are just an empty shell."

Gu Mian paused for a moment and smiled faintly, "Yes, I am nothing. I am just the wife that Li Ting married in a formal ceremony."

Liu Yunxi: "......"

Gu Mian raised an eyebrow, "As Mrs. Li, it is only natural for me to enjoy the treatment that comes with this position. There is no need to act noble and eat coarse food every day."

"Although you are Ting Shen's cousin in name, you are also his employee. It is your duty to work for Ting Shen."

"But what you said just now, if you don't know, you would think you are supporting me."

"Also, Ting Shen's success today is due to his own efforts, not yours alone."

"You..." Liu Yunxi's face turned pale with anger. He suddenly stood up and slapped Gu Mian hard.

“Bang!”

Gu Mian had never expected her to suddenly attack him. He was caught off guard and got slapped hard in the face.

After a slap, Liu Yunxi felt relieved. "You bastard, I have to beat you up..."

Gu Mian slowly turned his head, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he curled his lips and said, "You're right... Snap!"

Just as Liu Yunxi was about to speak, he was slapped twice in the face.

Liu Yunxi was stunned, "How dare you hit me?"

Gu Mian didn't say anything, but raised his foot and kicked Liu Yunxi on the knee.

"ah!"

Liu Yunxi screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

She raised her head and glared at Gu Mian angrily, "Gu Mian, how dare you hit me..."

"Didn't you say that?" Gu Mian tilted his head, "You bastard, you have to be beaten..."

Liu Yunxi was just about to stand up and call back when there was a knock on the door.

"Gu Mian?" Li Tingshen's voice came from outside the door, "Are you in there? Why did you take so long?"

Liu Yunxi stood up hurriedly, limped to the door, opened it, and looked at Li Tingshen with tears in his eyes, "Tingshen..."

"What happened?" Li Ting frowned deeply, "Where's Gu Mian?"

Only then did Gu Mian walk over.

Li Tingshen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her, "Are you okay?"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Something happened."

"What happened?"

Before Gu Mian could even open his mouth, Liu Yunxi burst into tears and complained, "Ting Shen, Miss Gu heard this rumor from somewhere, saying that I was going to have a baby for you, so she hit me..."

Li Ting frowned slightly.

Gu Mian looked at Liu Yunxi leisurely and watched her performance quietly.

Liu Yunxi cried, "Tingshen, I have worked diligently for you in a foreign country for so many years. I have worked hard even if I have not made any contributions. I never thought that when I returned to China, not only would I be slandered, but I would also be beaten. Is there any justice?"

Li Tingshen noticed that Gu Mian's left cheek was slightly red, and frowned, "Did she hit you?"

Liu Yunxi clenched his fists tightly.

Even though she was in such a miserable state, Li Tingshen chose to ignore it and put all his attention on Gu Mian!

"It's okay." Gu Mian smiled calmly, "I paid it back double."

Li Tingshen took her hand and said, "Let's go back first."

The three of them returned to the private room. Yan Mu saw them and almost spit out his drink. "What happened? Were you two robbed?"

Liu Yunxi wiped away his tears with a tissue and sat there without saying a word.

Li Ting looked at her deeply, "If someone spread rumors about you, just explain it to her face. It's not decent to have a fight in the bathroom."

Liu Yunxi said aggrievedly, "Ting Shen, I am the victim, are you blaming me?"

Li Ting said, "I understand Gu Mian. She won't offend anyone unless they offend her. She won't hit you first, so the first person to hit you can only be you."

Liu Yunxi's fingertips trembled.

Li Tingshen said calmly, "I will find out where the rumor came from and give you justice, but if you dare to hit her again next time, you know the consequences."

"This meal ends here, that's all."

After saying that, Li Tingshen took Gu Mian's hand and left.

Liu Yunxi sat there in a daze, watching their backs disappear at the door of the private room in disbelief.

Yan Mu looked at her, "Yun Xi, are you okay?"

Liu Yunxi looked away in shock, "Yan Mu, why did Ting Shen become like this..."

"You mean, Ting Shen has always been cold, why does he treat Gu Mian differently, or even prefer him?" Yan Mu took a sip of wine and said, "Aren't you the one who should understand him the most? After all, you are the same as him, both of you are in love with someone else."

Liu Yunxi was slightly startled, "What do you mean by that?"

Yan Mu said directly, "You like Ting Shen, but because of your relationship as cousins, you have never been able to express your feelings openly."

"Plus, Yin Luoxue has always been by Ting Shen's side over the years. She saved Ting Shen's life, and Ting Shen's attitude towards her...even though he didn't respond, was still a little different. So you didn't dare to express your love. You could only work hard behind him silently, to help his career, and to prove that you could be his right-hand man."

"But you didn't expect that after a car accident, Ting Shen would marry such an ordinary woman, and you didn't expect that Ting Shen would fall in love with her, right?"

Liu Yunxi lowered his eyes and did not comment.

Ever since she could remember, she knew that she was adopted by the Liu family.

She also knew that the reason why the Liu family adopted Liu Qingyu from the orphanage after she gave birth to Li Tingshen was to train her to become Li Tingshen's wife.

Although Li Tingshen didn't know about this, she had always regarded herself as Li Tingshen's future wife since she was a child.

She set strict standards for herself, not only to have good academic performance, but also to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She has always regarded Yin Luoxue as her biggest competitor.

In terms of appearance, she is no worse than Yin Luoxue.

But in terms of ability, Yin Luoxue cannot compare with her.

Therefore, she had to prove herself before she would secretly manage the business for Li Tingshen abroad all year round.

Even Liu Qingyu didn't know that she was working for Li Tingshen abroad, let alone that Li Tingshen privately owned a huge consortium.

She originally thought that as long as Li Tingshen could see her shining points, she would be able to naturally get rid of the identity of cousin and stand by his side as a woman.

But unexpectedly, he got married suddenly.

After he got into a car accident, she wanted to return home, but she was too busy with work abroad to spare the time.

But a few days later, she received the news that Li Tingshen married a caregiver.

She was struck by lightning and could not accept this fact at all.

Liu Qingyu comforted her, saying that she was just a nurse and would not be able to stay in Mrs. Li's position for long.

If Li Tingshen doesn't wake up, he will kick her out immediately.

But a month later, Li Tingshen miraculously woke up, and it was even more impossible for Madam Li to let that woman leave.

She could only sit back and do nothing, continuing to work hard for Li Tingshen abroad, waiting for Yin Luoxue to fight with the woman named Gu Mian.

After all, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits.

Two years ago, Li Tingshen finally divorced, and Yin Luoxue has disappeared.

Her opportunity finally came. She returned to China more often and applied to work in the capital.

She originally thought that it was finally her time to reap the benefits, but unexpectedly, Gu Mian also returned to China.

What was even more unexpected was that Li Tingshen had already fallen deeply in love with Gu Mian.

How could such a cold-hearted man fall so passionately in love with a woman!

What about her admiration for more than 20 years?

She regretted not expressing her feelings to him earlier. If she had expressed her love earlier, everything would have been different...

"Yunxi," Yan Mu continued, "We have known each other for many years. I still want to remind you that Gu Mian is not as ordinary as you think. She is so young, but her medical skills can surpass Mr. Lu Lang. Do you really think she is an ordinary person?"

"I don't need to tell you how high Ting Shen's standards are. The fact that he loves Gu Mian so deeply shows that Gu Mian has a personality charm that other women don't have."

"In the past two years, Ting Shen has never looked for Gu Mian. It's because he loves Gu Mian too much. The more he loves her, the more he avoids her."

"When Gu Mian is not around, he becomes a monk again, living a pure and simple life, which is enough to prove that he is different from Li Hongxuan. Ting Shen is a dedicated person, and Gu Mian is his only one."

"So Yunxi, as a friend, I don't want you to waste your time and energy on a married man. After all, this is not moral."

Liu Yunxi's face froze.

She calmed down her wandering thoughts and put on an impeccable smile, "Yan Mu, I never said that I had any improper thoughts about Ting Shen. I am just his cousin and work partner, that's all."

Yan Mu nodded, "This is best."

......

On the way home, Gu Mian didn't say much and just stared absent-mindedly at the night outside the car window.

The two returned to Washington.

As soon as she entered the house, Gu Mian was hugged by the man from behind, and her neck was covered with dense kisses.

"What..." Gu Mian struggled hurriedly, "I didn't take a shower..."

"You said this afternoon that we could continue in the evening."

Gu Mian’s face turned red.

We were in the lounge at that time, and he was adamant, so I had to coax him.

Gu Mian was a little speechless, "Li Tingshen, is this the only thing on your mind?"

"Who said that?" Li Tingshen turned her shoulders, lowered his head to kiss her, and confessed, "You are the only one in my mind..."

The two kissed all the way to the master bedroom, where their clothes were already scattered all over the floor.

Li Tingshen couldn't wait to get a condom from the drawer of the bedside table.
