Chapter 244 I Really Love You
When Li Tingshen returned to Yunyue Bay, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
The lights in the house were on. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there were people in the restaurant. He looked over subconsciously and saw Gu Mian sitting alone at the dining table.
Li Ting was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over. "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet, huh?"
Gu Mian lowered his eyes, as if staring absentmindedly at some empty spot on the dining table.
"Sleeping?"
Li Tingshen couldn't help but call out.
Gu Mian finally came back to his senses, but he didn't turn around to look at him. He just said softly, "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
For some reason, Li Ting felt inexplicably uneasy.
"We can talk about this another day. You don't look well. Go and have a rest first, okay?"
Gu Mian shook his head gently.
Li Tingshen had no choice but to sit down opposite Gu Mian.
Gu Mian picked up a document from the chair beside him and placed it in front of Li Tingshen.
The five words "divorce agreement" stung Li Tingshen's eyes.
"Gu Mian, you want to divorce me?"
"Yes." Gu Mian said calmly, "I have already signed. After you sign, I will give it to Yan Mu and he will handle it."
"Gu Mian, I know you are very sad, so sad that you can hardly face me, but we don't have to get divorced." Li Ting stared at her deeply.
He actually imagined the situation that would happen to the two of them next.
In the past, Gu Mian would have filed for divorce.
But now, after they had gone through so many ups and downs and finally got together, he believed that she would not divorce easily.
But he didn't expect that the divorce agreement would come so unexpectedly.
"Gu Mian, if you don't want to see me, I can give you some space and time. I will move to the MS Group and won't come back to bother you. When you let go of this matter, I will come back, okay?"
Gu Mian finally raised his eyes and looked at him.
But her clear eyes were filled with indifference and alienation.
"You think it just takes a little while for me to get over my mother's death and move on with my life with you, right?"
Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "Li Tingshen, if this is true, my mother should have let me die in prison."
"If I killed your mother, would you still be able to live with me?"
"We all know in our hearts that the hatred for the murder of our mother is irreconcilable..."
Li Tingshen said anxiously, "Gu Mian, I didn't mean it. If I had known, how could I have touched her!"
"Yeah, it's not all your fault. If I didn't listen to my mother, I should have told you about my relationship with her earlier."
"If only she had refused to treat your mother."
"If only I hadn't gone abroad this time..."
Gu Mian was so sad that he almost suffocated. "Li Tingshen, look, so many things went wrong, leading to this result today. Maybe God has destined us to be unable to continue."
"Do you remember I once told you that I have been losing since I married you?"
"I lost myself because of loving you. I finally found myself again, but then I lost my loved ones..."
"Grandma is gone, Mother Yang died to save me, and now my godmother has also died in your hands, Li Tingshen, I am in so much pain..."
"It was so painful that I couldn't help but wonder if I hadn't married you, I wouldn't have to go through this."
"If I hadn't come to the capital, my grandmother would have passed away, but I could have stayed by her side and mourned her till the end."
"If I hadn't been sent to prison because of Yin Luoxue, I wouldn't have met my godmother, and I wouldn't have to go through the pain of losing her now."
"If I hadn't married you, I would have graduated and worked in Haicheng. Although my medical skills were mediocre and I lived like most ordinary people in this world, I could have lived the most peaceful and stable life."
"Li Tingshen, I admit that I gained a lot from marrying you, but it is far less than what I lost..."
"Gu Mian, I beg you not to think like that." Li Tingshen tried to hold her hand, but she dodged him.
Her subconscious action of withdrawing her hand deeply hurt his heart.
Li Tingshen's fingertips trembled, "Gu Mian, are you really going to give up on me?"
"Don't give up, wait for you to continue to hurt me?" Gu Mian's tears slid down his pale face, "Who will I lose next?"
"My master? Wen Jing? Or my only blood relative, my uncle?"
"Li Tingshen, I have nothing left to lose..."
"But I love you." Li Tingshen closed his eyes in pain, "You love me too, don't you?"
"Yes, I love you." Gu Mian smiled with difficulty, "I really love you. I can give my life for you. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the people around me will die because of me."
"I once thought that our suffering had finally ended. But I was wrong. Our suffering is far from over, and I can't see where the end is..."
"I won't get a divorce." Li Ting's dark and deep eyes were filled with determination. "I won't let you leave me. If you want to leave me, just kill me first."
Gu Mian took out a small box from his hand, opened it, and placed it on the dining table.
Inside are two black pills the size of a fingernail.
"What is this?"
"This is a drug my godmother developed that can make us forget everything."
"Forget everything?"
"Yes, it will act directly on the hippocampus without harming the body, making people forget everything, even who they are."
Li Tingshen's pupils suddenly contracted. "You want us to take this medicine and forget everything?"
"Yes, if I take it, I won't feel any pain anymore." Gu Mian picked up a pill, "If you take it, you will forget me and start your life anew."
"Gu Mian, I beg you not to." Li Tingshen held back his tears and pleaded hoarsely, "Please don't give up on me, I can't live without you..."
"Ting Shen, forget me, you will live a good life, you will build a new family and have your own children."
"And we are destined not to belong to each other..."
"What if I don't agree?" Li Tingshen's eyes showed a hint of determination, "I will not sign the divorce papers, and I will not take this medicine."
"I'm sorry, I have to kidnap you morally." Gu Mian curled his lips and smiled bitterly on his tearful face. "If you want to watch me die of depression in this villa, please let me go."
"Or if you want to see me leave here in a more extreme way, you don't have to agree to it."
Li Tingshen's heart sank gradually.
It was only early autumn, but he felt as if he was in an ice cellar.
He knew that Gu Mian kept his word.
She has always been a person with strong ideas and always keeps her word.
If he doesn't agree, he will push her into a desperate situation.
Li Tingshen was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, "Gu Mian, you can't do this to me..."
Gu Mian placed a pen in front of him, "Ting Shen, I beg you one last time, please let me live, otherwise, I would rather die than live..."
