Chapter 229 Intimate Relationship

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sky was turning pale.

The temperature in the lounge was getting hotter and hotter.

Li Tingshen knew that Gu Mian had not rested enough, so he restrained himself and only asked her once, then carried her to the bathroom to take a shower.

When I returned to bed, it was already bright daylight.

Li Ting took a deep look at the time and said, "I have a meeting in the morning. You continue to sleep. I will go to work first."

"You've only slept for more than three hours."

Li Ting smiled deeply and kissed the corner of her lips, then said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Li has just rewarded me. I am in good spirits now."

Gu Mian blushed slightly, "Then come back and rest when you are done."

"good."

......

After Li Tingshen finished his meeting and returned to the CEO's office, he first went to the lounge to visit Gu Mian.

She was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep hugging her pillow.

Li Tingshen leaned over and kissed her forehead, then walked away lightly.

In the office, Liu Yunxi was already waiting.

"Ting Shen, this is the report for last quarter. It's very nice." Liu Yunxi put the document on the desk. "But this month, due to sleep deprivation, MS Group has suffered a heavy blow. You have to be mentally prepared."

"I've been prepared." Li Tingshen didn't look at the report carefully and said calmly, "Next, stop the work at hand."

"Why?" Liu Yunxi was startled, and suddenly reacted, and said angrily, "Did Gu Mian tell you something? She complained to you and wanted to drive me out of the capital, right?"

Li Tingshen frowned slightly and looked up at her, "Why did Gu Mian drive you out of the capital, huh?"

"Didn't she tell you why?"

"Yes, but I want to hear it from you."

Liu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Last night, when Gu Mian came to see you, you fell asleep and I was wiping your face. She mistakenly thought we were having an intimate relationship..."

Li Tingshen's eyes turned cold, "You wiped my face? How come I didn't know?"

Liu Yunxi explained hurriedly, "Maybe you were too tired these days. When I came in, you were already asleep, so I wiped your face to make you feel more comfortable..."

"If you just wiped my face, how could Gu Mian misunderstand that we were having an intimate relationship?" Li Tingshen's face darkened. "What else did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" Liu Yunxi said hurriedly, "I really was just helping you wipe your face!"

"Did Gu Mian tell you to leave the capital?"

"That's what she said, but I had already apologized and she had forgiven me." Liu Yunxi said aggrievedly, "How could she say one thing and do another?"

"From last night till now, Gu Mian has never mentioned you." Li Ting leaned back in his chair. "Just now I said she told me, but I was lying to you."

Liu Yunxi's face turned pale, "Ting Shen, how could you do this..."

"Who allowed you to enter my office without a reply?" Li Ting's deep and sharp eyes captured her face. "It's basic courtesy not to enter if no one answers after knocking on the door. Besides, I hate it most when someone enters my office without permission. Don't you know that?"

"If you don't come in, Gu Mian won't misunderstand."

"You are my cousin in name only. As long as you don't do anything out of line, Gu Mian will not ask you to leave the capital."

"Ting Shen, what outrageous thing could I have done?" Liu Yunxi said innocently, "It was two o'clock in the morning and I was still at work. I was anxious to report to you about my work, so I came to you. Now it's my fault?"

"As long as they do their job well, I never ask my subordinates to work overtime, let alone ask you to be on duty at two in the morning." Li Tingshen's face became even colder. "The miracle doctor Lu Ming said that my mother's treatment would be very painful. I originally wanted you to stop working for a while and accompany my mother to treat her illness."

"But since Gu Mian said so, you should do as she said and return to work abroad."

Liu Yunxi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Ting Shen, you want me to leave the capital? I just got back!"

"No matter how capable you are at work, you can't make Gu Mian angry." Li Ting said coldly, "You are my cousin in name only, so I transferred you abroad. If you were an ordinary employee, you would have been fired by now."

Liu Yunxi bit her lower lip and tried hard to hold back tears. "I told you, it was Gu Mian who misunderstood."

"You didn't do anything, how could she misunderstand? Gu Mian is not a petty person. On the contrary, she is very tolerant of ordinary people." Li Ting lit a cigarette and smoked it. "From the last incident in the restaurant, I knew that you two would not get along."

"I just gave you a warning at the time. Even though you hit her first, I didn't hold you accountable because Gu Mian also hit you."

"But it's obvious that you didn't stop and continued to provoke her. In that case, you don't have to stay in the capital."

Liu Yunxi was so distressed that he couldn't breathe. "Ting Shen, I have worked diligently for you for many years. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Why do you treat me like this?"

"When have I ever treated you badly?" Li Tingshen asked back, "You know how much money and manpower I have spent on training you over the years, and your salary is at the top of the pyramid of the MS Group."

"You are indeed a very generous boss." Liu Yunxi looked at the dignified and handsome man in front of him and couldn't help but say, "But Ting Shen, I always thought that there was a difference between us. The relationship between us... should be more than just that of boss and employee."

"Of course it's not just that." Li Ting said, "If you were not my cousin, do you think I would spend so much money on you to train you and let you enter the core management of MS Group?"

Liu Yunxi is very smart, but far from being a genius.

Liu Qingyu valued this niece from her mother's side the most and had always asked Li Tingshen to promote her. Since he needed manpower, he did as he was told.

Fortunately, Liu Yunxi worked hard enough and did not let him down.

The two sides complement each other.

Liu Yunxi tried hard to hold back tears, "Ting Shen, in my eyes, you are a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, and you will not let your personal matters interfere with your public affairs. But now you want to send me abroad because of Gu Mian!"

"Have you managed to distinguish between public and private matters?" Li Tingshen exhaled a smoke ring. "If you did, you should have called me President Li when you walked into this building, and you shouldn't have come in and out of my office at will. Go out and ask, even the procedure staff dared not come in and be alone with me when I was asleep, let alone wipe my face."

"Since you haven't done it, don't ask me to do it. And I'm your boss. I don't need a reason to transfer you."

Liu Yunxi's tears fell down, and he was speechless for a moment.

Li Tingshen is indeed a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs, and is even more strict at work, otherwise the MS Group would not have achieved what it has today.

She kept testing him, such as calling him by his name at work. He didn't say anything, so she just assumed it was okay to call him that.

For example, sometimes she entered his office without knocking and he didn't point it out, which made her even more unscrupulous.

But unexpectedly, it wasn't that he didn't care, but he just didn't make trouble for her over these little things.

Just because he didn't make trouble didn't mean he had forgotten. Now that he pointed out her mistakes, she had no way of defending herself.

Liu Yunxi's brain was working rapidly, and he said, "Ting... Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I really didn't notice these details. I will pay attention to them in the future."

"But I really don't want to leave the capital. I have no relatives in a foreign country. I am all alone and I really miss my hometown. I really don't want to go abroad..."
