Chapter 329 Love is Restraint

When Gu Mian arrived at the Presidential Suite of MS Hotel, Li Tingshen was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He wasn't smoking, but was holding his cell phone, flipping through something.

The hotel's air circulation system was top-notch, and there was no smell of cigarettes, but Gu Mian saw several cigarette butts in the ashtray at a glance.

Gu Mian walked up to him, sat down beside him, took his hand and took his pulse.

"Did you have a headache today?"

"For a while."

"How long did it last?"

"About five or six minutes."

"The pulse is relatively stable." Gu Mian withdrew his hand, "But I think you still need to be hospitalized for observation. I can use instruments to see if the blood clot is compressed when you have a headache."

"Do you want me to recover my memory?" Li Tingshen asked suddenly.

Gu Mian looked at him calmly, "I hope you will be healthy, no longer have to endure pain, and live a long life."

"You didn't answer my question directly." Li Ting asked, "What I asked is, do you want me to recover my memory?"

"What about you?" Gu Mian asked instead of answering, "Do you hope to recover your memory?"

"Or do you think that the current blank state is also good? You can create countless new possibilities for yourself, or you can live the simplest and most stable life with Lan Jing."

"After all, it's hard to find peace in the imperial capital, around me..."

"You mean, if I am willing, you are willing to help me and Jinghao, right?" Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "Gu Mian, you are so generous."

Gu Mian turned his head and looked at a certain empty spot on the coffee table. "If your heart is already with Lan Jinghao, I can't stop you."

The man's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, "I told you, I didn't sleep with her, and I didn't kiss her!"

Gu Mian twitched his lips and said, "Haven't you heard that love is restraint?"

Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "You mean, I love Lan Jinghao, so I didn't touch her?"

"I didn't say that," Gu Mian said, "but I don't rule out this possibility. After all, when you woke up from your injuries, she was by your side taking good care of you. She has done so much for you. If it were me, I would be moved too."

"So I don't want to force you. I want you to see clearly in your heart whether you are attracted to Lan Jing or not. This is very important."

The man's deep and hoarse voice came, "But why do I feel that this is love?"

Gu Mian turned around and saw the mobile phone that Li Tingshen handed to him.

On the screen was their WeChat chat box.

Li Tingshen has always been very clingy. Every morning when he arrives at the MS Group, he will send her a message to tell her that he has arrived.

He would send messages from time to time during the day, saying some mushy things, and occasionally making dirty jokes and talking about the positions he used last night.

From time to time, he would create little surprises and let the program send her gifts that he had prepared.

The more these daily chat records are, the more they prove how deeply they love each other.

Gu Mian suddenly lost control of herself and quickly turned her head away to prevent him from seeing her tears.

Li Tingshen put down his phone, raised his hand and turned her shoulder, asking, "Tell me, you must push me to Lan Jing, okay?"

“I didn’t push it.”

How could she bear to push him to another woman!

Through the mist in her eyes, Gu Mian looked at the man who was so close to her, "I'm just not sure about your heart."

"What if I tell you that I have never been attracted to Lan Jinghao?" Li Ting stared at her face and said word by word, "I have never touched her, not because I restrain myself, but because I don't love her."

"I agreed to marry her because of the circumstances at the time. I had to appease her emotions. After all, it was because of me that she was almost humiliated."

The man wiped the tears from her face with his thin fingertips. "I'm sorry for forgetting you, but I can assure you that I don't have any love between men and women for her. Believe me, okay?"

Gu Mian's heart ached like a knife.

"I once prayed that I would sacrifice my life if you could come back alive." Gu Mian burst into tears. "Now you are back intact, so I wonder if letting you fall in love with someone else is the price of your return alive."

"If that's the case, I'm willing to accept it, because it's good enough that you're alive..."

Li Tingshen could no longer control himself and hugged her into his arms, wishing he could melt her into his bones and blood.

Gu Mian leaned in his familiar embrace, tears flowing even more fiercely, "Ting Shen, you are finally back..."

"Don't cry." Li Ting hugged her tightly, "Don't cry..."

Gu Mian closed his eyes resignedly.

She couldn't push him away.

No matter what the road ahead was like, or what hardships she would experience, she couldn't bring herself to push him away.

From now on, nothing can separate them, not even death...

"hiss......"

Suddenly, a man's muffled groan came to my ears.

Gu Mian quickly let him go and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Li Ting frowned in pain, "My head hurts..."

"Lie down!"

Gu Mian helped him lie down and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"No, you look pale. I'll go call a doctor!"

Just as Gu Mian was about to get up and leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by him.

"Don't go..."

"I won't leave." Gu Mian held his hand. "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup, okay?"

Li Tingshen nodded lightly.

......

In the room, Lan Jinghao spent a long while browsing on her phone, but her mind was restless.

Xiao Gu is the president of MS Group, and this was originally great news for her.

But then comes the obstacle of sleep.

And it’s not just an ordinary obstacle.

Gu Mian is so beautiful, so dazzling, and she has a good family background and strong abilities.

If she were a man, he would fall in love with Gu Mian.

She could see that the way Xiao Gu looked at Gu Mian was different from the way he looked at her.

A woman's sixth sense told her that even though she had lost her memory, Xiao Gu still liked to sleep with him.

Not to mention that they were originally husband and wife.

It is not easy to get Xiao Gu to promise to marry her.

But she will never give up!

Since God arranged for Xiao Gu to fall off the cliff, and he was rescued by her and lost his memory, then this is their destined fate!

Xiao Gu is destined to be her man, she will never give up!

Lan Jing calmed down, stood up, opened the door and went out.

"Miss Lan," the bodyguard at the door asked, "where are you going?"

"I want to go buy some groceries to make dinner for my client."

"No need." The bodyguard said, "Boss Li is not in the hotel. He just had a severe headache and his wife has taken him to the hospital."

"What!" Lan Jing was shocked, and then she became very angry. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

bodyguard:"......"

"Aren't you feeling dizzy? The doctor told you to get some rest."

"Xiao Gu is more important than myself. How can I rest if he is not feeling well?" Lan Jinghao strode out, "I want to go to the hospital to find him!"

......

In the hospital, Li Tingshen was already wearing a special headgear.

"Madam, this is the latest technology. It can monitor the changes in the blood clots in Mr. Li's brain at any time." The doctor introduced, "Mr. Li now has pain 3-5 times a day, and needs to be monitored 24 hours a day."

"Okay." Gu Mian said, "It's very painful when he's in pain. Is there any way to relieve it?"

Li Tingshen is a tough guy and can endure more than most people.

The pain that could cause him that much must be unbearable for ordinary people.

“We need to study this carefully.”

"Okay." Gu Mian nodded. "Set up a medical team and do their best to treat the patient. Special Assistant Cheng will contact you with corresponding remuneration and rewards."

The doctor nodded, "Don't worry, Madam Li, we will do our best. But we still hope that you and Mr. Lu Lang can participate in the treatment together."

"Of course, I will contact my master."

Gu Mian took out his cell phone and made a call.

Mr. Lu Lang naturally would not refuse and said that he could come over anytime.

Gu Mian hung up the phone and looked at Li Tingshen, "You lie down well, I have to go home."

Li Ting felt a little disappointed.

Gu Mian wanted to laugh for some reason. "I have to go home for dinner every day, otherwise Nian Nian will call me to urge me."

Li Ting thought deeply of the lovely little girl in the photo album on his phone, and his heart suddenly warmed up. "I want to meet her."

"Okay, I'll arrange a meeting for you after you finish the examination."

Li Tingshen looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mian asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"no."

"Then I'll leave first. Aunt Zhang will stay here to take care of you."

Gu Mian gave a few instructions to the bodyguard at the door and left.

After a while, there was a knock on the ward door.

Mother Zhang went to open the door, "Boss Pei, why are you here?"

"I heard that Mr. Li was admitted to the hospital, so I came to see him."

"Our eldest master is in the hospital for examination. Please come in."

Pei Jianchuan walked into the ward, "Mrs. Zhang, I want to talk to Mr. Li alone."

"Of course, I'll go buy some food and prepare dinner for the young master."

Mother Zhang poured Pei Jianchuan a glass of water and left.

Pei Jianchuan walked to the bedside and sat down, "Boss Li, we meet again."

Although he didn't remember, Li Tingshen still nodded in response.

"I think it would be better to explain what happened this morning to President Li in person." Pei Jianchuan said with a smile, "I was about to faint at that time, and Gu Mian supported me. Then you and Aunt Zhang came, so Gu Mian and I were not hugging each other."

"Gu Mian and I are friends, and more importantly, family. I am ill with an incurable disease. After I die, my son Xiaobao will be entrusted to you and your wife to take care of."

Li Ting frowned deeply, "Sorry."

"It's okay. I just don't want to cause any misunderstanding between you and Gu Mian." Pei Jianchuan smiled calmly. "It's a fact that I'm sick. I have accepted it calmly. You don't need to apologize."

"Although Gu Mian and I are good friends, we have always been very sensible, so I hope that even if he loses his memory, Mr. Li will still be able to maintain a sense of propriety."

"You mean..."

"Of course it's the woman who went back to the capital with Mr. Li." Pei Jianchuan smiled, "Based on my understanding of Mr. Li, it's impossible for you to be easily attracted to a woman, let alone... such an ordinary woman."

"Of course, I don't mean to belittle Mr. Li's savior, and judging people by appearance is not my habit. But according to my investigation, Miss Lan doesn't seem to have any shining points that can attract Mr. Li. After all, you are in a high position and have seen countless people. Ordinary people are simply not in your eyes."

"Boss Pei is right." Li Tingshen admitted frankly, "I really don't have any romantic feelings for Jinghao."

"Just because you don't love her doesn't mean she doesn't love you." Pei Jianchuan pointed out directly, "She likes you very much, right?"

Li Tingshen did not answer, but the answer was obvious.

Pei Jianchuan picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of warm water. "With Mr. Li's appearance and temperament, even Gu Mian fell in love with you at first sight, not to mention other women. It is reasonable for her to fall in love with you."

“But what I want to say is that if you don’t stop, you will suffer the consequences.”

"Now that Mr. Li knows who he is, he should cut ties with her as soon as possible and put an end to her fantasies about you."

"Some feelings, the longer they are delayed, the faster they grow. Especially now that she knows you are the president of MS Group, you will naturally be more important to her. Maybe she can't live without you anymore."

"She doesn't seem like that kind of person." Li Ting said, "When she saved me, I had nothing. She used all her wealth to save me."

"I know that the boat she sold was worth 30,000 yuan. In this society, a normal person with all four limbs intact can earn more than 30,000 yuan a year working in a factory."

"Of course, the last penny of a poor person is indeed precious. I would like to believe that her original intention of saving you was selfless."

"It turns out that her selflessness and kindness were rewarded. The Li family gave her a reward that was hundreds or thousands of times more than 30,000 yuan."

"What I want to say is that now that things have come to this, Mr. Li should nip some of her fantasies in the bud as soon as possible, so as not to encourage her desires and cause endless troubles..."

"I understand what you mean." Li Ting looked at him deeply, "You want me to stop fantasizing about me and stop liking me."

"Yes." Pei Jianchuan smiled. "If you get entangled with her, it will not only hurt Gu Mian, but also hurt her, because it is impossible for you to be with her."

"Gu Mian said on the surface that she wanted to give you time to see your heart clearly, but in fact, I know that every time she saw you and Lan Jing together, her heart ached. After all, which woman would want her husband to forget her and get close to another woman? She just endured it silently."

"This is Gu Mian's advantage, she is independent and strong. But at the same time, she has also lost a trump card to deal with men. After all, a woman like Gu Mian, who acts coquettishly, no man can resist her, including you."

"She..." Li Ting was a little uncertain, "Will she really be heartbroken?"

"Of course." Pei Jianchuan said solemnly, "Believe me, she loves you very much, and you love her too."

"I believe what President Pei said." Li Ting said, "Thank you for your reminder, President Pei. I will handle the relationship between me and Jing Hao well."

"As I should, as your mutual friend, I naturally hope that you can get through this difficult time." Pei Jianchuan was slightly relieved, "And I didn't expect that communicating with the amnesiac President Li would be so smooth."

Li Ting smiled deeply, "I just lost my memory, not my mind."

"Too."

"......"

At the door of the ward, Lan Jinghao's fingertips trembled slightly as she gripped the door handle.

Her face turned paler and paler, and she felt like she was in an ice cellar!
