Chapter 255 He Can't Bear to Forget to Sleep
The temperature in the air climbed higher and higher, and the air was filled with an ambiguous and charming scent.
While Li Tingshen was kissing her, he couldn't wait to take off her clothes.
Just as we were about to capture the city, the cell phone suddenly rang.
Gu Mian Teng pushed him away, "Phone...phone..."
Li Tingshen couldn't stop, "No!"
"No..." Gu Mian dodged his kiss, "What if there is something urgent? Let me take care of it first..."
Li Ting was helpless and could only stop what he was doing, fetch his phone and hand it to her.
Gu Mian answered the call, "How's the procedure?"
"Madam, I checked it. The video is not synthetic and has not been edited. It is a real picture."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, ma'am."
Gu Mian hung up the phone, and before she could react, the man picked her up and walked straight into the bedroom.
Tears are about to well up in my eyes.
"Why are you so useless, huh?" Li Tingshen chuckled and kissed the corner of her lips.
Gu Mian glared at him, "Who made you so anxious?"
"My bad."
Li Ting kissed her deeply, and once she got used to him, he didn't waste even a second before starting an unrelenting indulgence.
Gu Mian felt his mind go blank, he couldn't think at all, he could only obey his body's instincts and sink into his hot embrace...
......
After everything calmed down, Gu Mian leaned in the man's arms to calm her breathing.
Li Tingshen hugged her, his voice hoarse and sexy, "Wife."
"Um?"
"Are you worried?" Li Ting asked in a deep voice, "Ever since we reconciled, I always felt that you were worried... It's because of mom, right?"
Gu Mian didn't say anything.
"You can't control your feelings for me, and you can't let go of your mother's death, so you are worried." Li Ting held her face in his hands and stared deeply into her clear eyes. "You are still blaming me, right?"
Gu Mian shook his head gently. "From the day I reconciled with you, I knew I couldn't blame you, so it's none of your business."
"It's my fault for not adjusting my mindset. Please give me some more time."
Li Tingshen hugged her tightly and said, "I will accompany you to adjust. As long as you don't leave me, I will listen to you in everything."
"Um."
Li Ting turned over and kissed her again.
"That's enough..." Gu Mian quickly pushed open his chest, "We still have to go to the Ye family tomorrow."
The man looked at him with pity on his face, "Wife, I haven't seen you for three years..."
Gu Mian: "......"
She suppressed her laughter and said, "Mr. Li, I don't believe you haven't done it once in the past three years."
"You suspect me of cheating on you?"
"Who said you have to cheat?" Gu Mian held his hand and raised his eyebrows, "Is this not okay?"
Li Tingshen laughed softly and hoarsely.
Gu Mian imitated his tone, "Have you ever had that? Huh?"
"Rarely." Li Tingshen admitted frankly, "Unless I miss you so much that I can't stand it anymore."
He lives in Yunyue Bay, and her shadow is everywhere in his house. It is difficult for him not to think about her.
He could have clearly escaped from this environment, but he chose to do so, like a self-torturer, returning home every night and lying on their marriage bed, enduring the heart-wrenching pain of missing his wife.
He never knew that loving someone could be so painful.
He even wondered whether he should have taken the pill.
He did not throw away the pill that could make him forget everything.
Several times he took it out of the refrigerator and tried to take it.
But I gave up again and again.
He couldn't bear to do it.
Can't bear to forget to sleep.
As Gu Mian listened to him talk about his longings, her heart felt as if it was grabbed by a big cold hand, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
She held his face in her hands, tears rolling down her eyes.
Li Tingshen wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips, "Honey, don't cry...Aren't we all fine now?"
"Yeah." Gu Mian sobbed, "We have to be fine forever."
"Of course."
Gu Mian could no longer restrain herself, raised her head and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips.
The two kissed again.
After his initial ferocity, he began to become gentle.
Time seems to be stretched endlessly...
Although he restrained himself, Li Tingshen still tormented himself until the early morning.
Gu Mian was so tired that she had no strength left, so she let him carry her to take a shower.
After returning to the bed, she leaned into the man's arms and soon fell into a deep sleep...
Li Tingshen walked out of the room and stood in front of the French window in the living room to smoke a cigarette.
He took out his cell phone and made a call. "After three years of investigation, there is still no progress?"
I don't know what the other party said. Li Ting's eyes were cold, "Waste!... Keep investigating. Even if Gu Mian comes back to me, what happened back then must be investigated thoroughly..."
......
The next morning, the two got into the car sent by Ye Junlin to pick them up.
The black luxury car drove towards the remote suburbs and arrived at a manor.
The place cannot be described as luxurious anymore; it is simply like a paradise on earth.
The car stopped in front of a castle-like building, and the driver opened the door. "You two, please."
Although they settled abroad, Gu Mian found that the domestic workers in the manor were basically Chinese.
Ye Junlin came out to greet them, "Boss Li, Miss Gu, please come in."
"No hurry." Gu Mian took out a pill from his pocket, "Mr. Ye, do you mind taking it?"
"What is this?"
"Poison."
Ye Junlin smiled calmly, "Miss Gu is angry and wants to poison me to death?"
"That's not the case." Gu Mian chuckled. "My husband and I are both here. If you kill us both and something happens to us, my daughter will become an orphan. So I have to be on guard."
"This poison is fatal, but it won't kill you immediately, and it won't affect your health in the short term. When our deal is over, stay safe and I'll give you the antidote."
"Of course, it's not difficult to poison you secretly, but I like to be aboveboard. If you really have no intention of killing us, then take it without worry. If you don't harm me, I won't kill you either."
"Ms. Gu is indeed a quick-witted person. I like dealing with people like you the most." Ye Junlin picked up the medicine in Gu Mian's palm.
"Young Master!" A butler-like man at the side hurriedly stopped him, "Absolutely not!"
"It's okay." Ye Junlin said calmly, "I believe Miss Gu is a person who keeps her word... Uncle Zhong, give the order, I have been poisoned by Miss Gu, whoever dares to touch her will be killed."
Uncle Zhong could only nod, "Yes, Master."
Ye Junlin swallowed the medicine without hesitation.
Gu Mian followed him to the second floor, where Old Master Ye was lying on the bed resting.
Gu Mian went to take his pulse and give him acupuncture.
As soon as the meeting was over, Ye Junlin knocked on the door and came in, "Miss Gu, in order to cure my grandfather as soon as possible, I'm afraid you two will have to stay here."
Gu Mian turned to look at Li Tingshen, "What do you mean?"
"I'll listen to you."
"Then stay here," Gu Mian thought for two seconds and made a decision, "I will seize the time for treatment and return to the capital as soon as possible."
"good."
Ye Junlin led them through a garden and came to another villa. "This is where I live. I heard that Mr. Li likes quietness. Usually, there are not many people coming here. It is the most suitable place. However... Miss Gu, I have something else I want to ask you for help."
"Tell me about it."
"Please follow me."
Ye Junlin took them to the third floor by elevator.
Inside a whole wall of glass, there was a woman in a white dress sitting on the ground, holding a doll in her arms.
"Her name is Lin Jinshu, she's my mother." Ye Junlin looked at the woman behind the glass. "When my sister went missing, she and my father went crazy looking for her. Three months later, a car accident ended my father's life."
"It was raining heavily that day. My parents heard about my sister and went there in the rain. As a result, they had a car accident on the way."
"My father risked his life to save my mother, but he himself did not survive. From that day on, my mother went crazy."
For some reason, Gu Mian's heart suddenly ached for no apparent reason.
She thought, maybe it was because she was also a mother and could understand the pain of losing a child, so she could empathize with them.
"Ms. Gu, actually my grandfather wanted to stay in the imperial capital. I asked him to come back and invite you here." Ye Junlin turned his head and looked at Gu Mian, "I want you to heal my mother."
"So I poisoned your tea that day. One reason was to get rid of the untrustworthy people around you, and the other was to test your sincerity."
"I believe Miss Gu's medical skills can definitely help my mother."
Gu Mian paused for a moment and asked, "How is she now? Can she take care of herself?"
"She can eat and go to the toilet by herself, but she is unconscious. She holds the doll all day and thinks it is my sister. She needs close care."
"Mr. Ye, your mother's condition is caused by a shock that has led to mental disorder. It is a psychological illness, and I am not good at it."
"Don't worry, I don't have high hopes. I just want to give it a try."
"Do you think this is necessary?" Gu Mian turned her head and met his gaze. "Even if she is cured, do you think she can accept the truth that her husband and daughter have passed away?"
"Have you ever thought that maybe living in a world with dementia would be easier for her?"
"Do we really want to let her go crazy like this for the rest of her life?" Ye Junlin was slightly stunned. "Maybe we should make her sober up and tell her that the daughter she has been thinking about has been found? After all, this is a knot in her heart."
"Even though Luoxue is dead, knowing that she is dead is better than not knowing whether she is alive or dead, right?"
"If that's your decision, I'm willing to give it a try," Gu Mian said, "but you have to understand that curing her is not part of the deal between us."
"I understand. This is an extra favor. I am grateful that you are willing to help me."
“好。”顧眠看着一旁的電子門鎖，“開門吧，我進去看看。”
“多謝。”
葉君臨邊開門邊開口道，“我母親害怕生人，平時這裏除了我和照顧她的傭人，不會有人來，以免刺激她，一會兒你接近她的時候，請稍微顧及她的情緒。”
“好。”
顧眠跟着葉君臨走進偌大奢華的房間。
這裏的原貌是個嬰兒房，玻璃牆應該是後續為了看顧林錦書才改建的。
林錦書身穿一件白色居家長裙，長發披肩，臉色雖然蒼白，但難掩她的美貌。
雖然已經人到中年，但除了眼角的細紋，并看不出一絲滄桑衰老。
她抱着洋娃娃，沉浸在自己的世界裏自言自語，“寶寶乖......媽媽抱你睡覺覺......寶寶乖......媽媽永遠陪着你......”
“媽。”葉君臨先走上前，蹲在林錦書面前，“我是君臨。”
林錦書看着他，但眼神沒有絲毫變化，還是呆呆愣愣的。
她很快察覺到旁邊還有人，轉頭望去，看見厲霆深的時候，整個人狠狠一顫，吓得往後退去。
“媽！”葉君臨急忙抱住她安撫，“這是我們家的客人，你不用害怕，他不會傷害你的。”
林錦書縮在葉君臨的懷裏瑟瑟發抖。
顧眠走上前，試探着開口道，“葉夫人你好，我叫顧眠，我可以坐下來陪你嗎？”
林錦書緩緩擡起頭，在看見顧眠的一瞬間，整個人忽的一愣。
“寶寶......”林錦書怔怔地開口，下一秒，一把推開了葉君臨，扔掉手裏的洋娃娃，爬起身一把抱住了顧眠，“寶寶！別怕！媽媽在這裏！媽媽保護你！”
顧眠愣住。
葉君臨不敢置信地看着被扔在地上的洋娃娃，也徹底怔住。
顧眠回過神來，輕輕拍着林錦書的後背安撫，“沒事了，我們去那邊坐下，好嗎？”
林錦書抱着她不肯放手，“寶寶，媽媽不會放開你的！媽媽再也不會把你弄丢了！”
“好，乖，我們去那邊。”
顧眠扶着林錦書去沙發上坐下，拉着她的手把脈。
葉君臨撿起地上的洋娃娃，看着沙發上的兩個人，“顧小姐，我母親很寶貝她的娃娃，24小時都要抱着。”
“這只娃娃早就停産了，我買下了那個品牌繼續生産，舊了之後，趁着她睡覺再換一個新的放進她的懷裏。”
“今天，是她第一次扔下這個洋娃娃......”
顧眠專注把脈，沒回應他的話。
“從脈象上看，葉夫人的身體還算是健康，只是有點營養不良。”
“她胃口向來不好，自己吃飯吃不了幾口，傭人喂不進去，只有我喂的時候才會多吃幾口。”葉君臨心疼地看着母親，“我工作忙，分身乏術，的确沒有辦法随時照顧她。”
“先調理一陣子，至于治療，我需要時間斟酌。”
“好，有勞你了。”
顧眠起身，剛要離開，就被林錦書緊緊抓住了手臂。
她一臉驚恐地看着顧眠，“寶寶！不要走！不要離開媽媽！”
顧眠的心驀地一疼，柔聲道，“葉夫人，我不走，我只是下樓。”
林錦書拽得更緊，“不行，外面有壞人！不要出去！媽媽保護你！我們不出去！”
顧眠重新坐了下來，開口道，“可是我現在肚子餓了，要去吃東西，寶寶不吃東西是長不大的，對不對？”
林錦書像是在認真思考，最後點了點頭。
“那我下樓吃東西，晚一點再來陪你，好嗎？”
“不行！”林錦書急忙道，“媽媽陪你去！媽媽要保護你！”
顧眠望向葉君臨，“她可以下樓的吧？”
“當然可以！”葉君臨立刻道，“但是這幾十年來，她從未走出這個房間一步！”
顧眠扶着林錦書起身，“我們走吧。”
“好！”林錦書摟着顧眠，将她護在懷裏，小心翼翼地往前走去，嘴裏在自言自語，“要小心點......外面有壞人......不能讓他們傷害我的寶寶......”
走到門口時，林錦書突然停住腳步，着急地抱緊顧眠，“不能去！外面危險！寶寶不能去！”
“沒事的。”顧眠輕輕拍着她的背，“我也會保護你，你不要害怕，好嗎？”
林錦書猶豫片刻，還是邁出了腳。
葉君臨徹底驚呆，急忙先下了樓，讓傭人都離開，免得吓着她。
顧眠帶着林錦書來到一樓客廳，手被她牢牢牽在手裏。
她感受到林錦書掌心的溫度，心裏漫出一股異樣的感覺。
說不清道不明，但是很溫暖，也很微妙。
“厲總，顧小姐，我叫了廚師來做午餐，不知道兩位有沒有什麽忌口？”
“不必了。”厲霆深難得開口，“看樣子，我們在這裏也不是住一兩天的事情，我自己帶廚師，葉總應該不會介意吧？”
“當然不會，我原本還擔心自己招待不周，兩位自便就好，需要什麽随時跟我說。”
“那就好。”
厲霆深臨時安排的人沒有這麽快到，顧眠索性親自下廚做午飯。
顧眠走到哪裏，林錦書便跟到哪裏，一直在廚房圍着她轉。
顧眠簡單做了三菜一湯，見葉君臨還在，不好意思不叫他，“葉先生，要不一起吃點吧。”
“謝謝。”葉君臨道，“我先喂我媽媽吃。”
葉君臨盛了一碗飯，夾了些菜，用勺子喂到林錦書嘴裏。
林錦書吃了兩口，便再也不肯張嘴了。
顧眠放下碗筷，“要不我來試試吧。”
“也好。”
顧眠接過碗，喂給林錦書，沒想到她朝着顧眠燦爛一笑，直接張嘴了。
沒一會兒，林錦書就把一碗飯吃得精光。
葉君臨看着在給母親擦嘴的顧眠，眸光漸深。
......
午飯過後，顧眠送林錦書回房，坐在床邊哄她睡午覺。
林錦書拉着她的手，“寶寶，你躺下睡覺。”
“我不困，你先睡，我在這陪你。”
“寶寶，媽媽睡覺了，你可千萬不能出去！”
顧眠笑着答應，“好，我不出去，我就在這裏陪着你。”
林錦書這才安心地閉上了眼睛，但手還是緊緊握着顧眠的手。
顧眠等她睡熟了，才輕輕抽回自己的手，起身離開。
外面是一個小客廳，兩個男人坐在沙發上在說話。
見顧眠出來，葉君臨立刻起身，“我媽睡着了？”
“嗯。”顧眠問道，“需要叫人看着嗎？”
“房間裏有監控，她睡着的時候會自動打開，醒來的話我和照顧她的傭人都會收到提醒。”
顧眠點點頭，“那就好。”
“顧小姐，我媽非常喜歡你。”葉君臨陳訴道，“這二十多年來，她就像坐牢一樣，困在這個房間裏，我曾經試圖把她帶出去，甚至在她睡着之後把她帶走。”
“可是她醒來，發現自己是在陌生的環境，立刻尖叫不止，然後暈厥過去，從那之後，我就再也沒有嘗試過。”
“正常人關在房間裏二十多年，不瘋也得瘋，她願意出門是好事。”顧眠道，“你放心，我在這裏一天，就會好好照顧她的。”
“她跟你很投緣。”葉君臨看着她，“落雪回來後，也來見過我媽，但她非常抗拒落雪。”
“所以我一直以為，她是完全抗拒陌生人，但是沒想到她第一次見到你，就這麽喜歡你依賴你，我想她是把你當成我妹妹了。”
顧眠淡笑一聲，“這種話還是別說了，我并不想成為尹落雪那種人。”
葉君臨歉然道，“抱歉，我失言了。”
顧眠牽起厲霆深的手，“我們先回房休息，葉夫人醒了再叫我。”
“好。”
......
手底下的人已經把兩個人的行李送到了葉家莊園。
厲霆深從行李箱裏拿出一個黑色的儀器打開。
“霆深，這是什麽啊？”
“檢查是否有監聽監控設備。”厲霆深把儀器放在床頭，“沒有警報，這個房間就是安全的。”
“葉君臨肯定知道我們會有所防備，不會蠢到用監控監聽設備的。”
“我知道。”厲霆深笑笑，“我檢查，只是不想讓人看到不該看的，畢竟厲太太也不想自己的房事視頻流傳出去，不是嗎？”
顧眠：“......”
“厲先生，你腦子裏除了黃色廢料，還有別的嗎？”
“當然有。”厲霆深一把撈起她的腰，兩個人雙雙倒在柔軟的大床上。
男人親吻她的唇角，暗啞的嗓音裏帶着蠱惑，“我腦子裏全是你，不信我做給你看......”
