Chapter 35 What medicine to take

Gu Mian was so frightened that he trembled and dared not say anything.

Li Tingshen was very satisfied with her reaction. "From now on, you follow me wherever I go, and you are not allowed to see Pei Jianchuan again."

Gu Mian frowned, "They will be returning to Haicheng soon. I can only look after Xiaobao for the next two days."

“I don’t want to repeat it a second time.”

Gu Mian turned away angrily.

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the Li Group parking lot, and Li Tingshen took Gu Mian to the top floor in a special elevator.

"Stay here and tell the program if you need anything."

Cheng Xu is Li Tingshen's assistant, and he is the only one in the group who knows that Li Tingshen is married to Gu Mian.

Li Tingshen's office is very large, with a glass wall separating it from a study room. The books on both walls are spectacular.

I was bored and just picked up a book to read.

Li Tingshen was sitting behind his desk, working. When he raised his eyes, he could see Gu Mian.

She lazily curled up on the sofa, reading a book intently.

The sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows shone on her body, giving her a layer of warm halo, making her look peaceful and beautiful.

Li Ting curled the corners of his lips slightly, retracted his gaze and continued working.

Gu Mian never expected that the book he picked up casually would make her so engrossed in reading. She couldn't help but sigh that for someone who could enter Li Tingshen's office, even reading a book was not easy.

She stretched her neck and turned around to see that Li Tingshen was no longer in the office.

Gu Mian got up, poured a glass of water, took out folic acid from his bag and swallowed it.

The moment Li Ting opened the door, he saw her feeding herself a pill and subconsciously asked, "What medicine are you taking?"

Gu Mian's heart was beating wildly, but he quickly calmed down and said with a faint smile, "Of course it's the birth control pill. I forgot to take it last night."

Li Ting felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He was the one who gave her the medicine after they had sex for the first time.

It's obvious that he doesn't want children.

She was stunned for a moment, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she still took the pill and swallowed it obediently.

From then on, every time they finished, she would take the medicine on her own initiative without him asking, being well-behaved and considerate.

It was clearly something that everyone knew, but Li Tingshen felt inexplicably uncomfortable at the moment.

It seemed that she didn't want to have his child, so she never asked him if she could stop taking the medicine.

Actually, it’s better this way, so he doesn’t have to spend so much time coaxing her.

So even he himself didn't know why he was feeling uncomfortable.

"Oh, right." Gu Mian's voice interrupted Li Tingshen's thoughts, "Grandma just called and asked us to go back to the old house for lunch at noon."

"knew."

......

At lunch time, the two arrived at the Li family's old house on time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Xingze sitting on the sofa playing games.

"Brother." Li Xingze greeted him, and when he saw Gu Mian, he rolled his eyes.

Gu Mian ignored him and went straight upstairs to find the old lady.

"Brother, news of what happened last night has spread. Now everyone knows that the eldest lady of our Li family has been in jail. This morning, several young masters called me and asked about it. In their words, they were all mocking me for having such a sister-in-law. I am so embarrassed!" Li Xingze complained.

Li Tingshen said calmly, "So what do you want?"

Li Xingze suddenly perked up, "Brother, ever since this Gu Mian married into the Li family, she has been causing trouble all the time. Not only did she make Luoxue confined to a wheelchair, but now she has also brought shame to the Li family. She is simply more of a hindrance than a help."

"I think you should divorce her and get her out of the Li family. Luoxue is so nice, she is generous and generous, and we grew up together and know each other well. Only she is worthy of you, unlike Gu Mian, who comes from a poor family and is not presentable at all..."

Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "If the reputation of the Li family can be easily affected by a woman, then it doesn't show how powerful it is."

"That's true, but with Gu Mian here, our Li family will have one more thing to be laughed at."

"Even if she gets divorced, she can't sever her ties with the Li family."

Li Xingze's mouth twitched, "Brother, after all, you just don't want to get a divorce, right?"

Li Ting raised his eyes and looked at him, "I have no reason to divorce. It doesn't matter who sits in Mrs. Li's seat. There's nothing wrong with Gu Mian sitting there."

Li Xingze was surprised, "Why does it matter who sits?"

"For me, it's the same."

"It's rare to see you two brothers chatting so enthusiastically." Madam Li and Gu Mian came down from the upstairs, smiling kindly, "Let's eat."

The old lady was reluctant to let her sleep, so she asked her to stay and have dinner before leaving.

Gu Mian was more than happy to do so. It was better to stay here than to stay in Li Tingshen's office, so he agreed immediately.

After lunch, Gu Mian returned to his room.

She was about to take a nap when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Madam Li what snacks she wanted.

Gu Mian arrived at the second floor outside of Madam Li's room and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard Madam Li's unhappy voice from inside, "I have already asked about everything that happened last night, and I will not wrongly accuse Luo Xue. She deliberately told the story of Miss Mian in public, and her intentions were really vicious."

Li Ting soothed her, "Don't be angry, Grandma. Luo Xue is telling the truth."

At the door, Gu Mian pulled the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly.

"It's true that Miss Mian has been in jail, but I won't allow anyone to use this to poke her in the back!" The old lady's voice trembled, "You'd better persuade Luoxue to keep her tricks to herself. As long as I'm alive, she won't succeed!"

"Grandma, I've already reminded Luoxue, please don't be angry."

"Your wife has been bullied to such an extent, and you are just reminding her?" The old lady sighed, "Forget it, grandma can never be your master."

Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "Grandma, why can't you be my master? Wasn't it you who chose Gu Mian for me?"

"What do you mean by that?" asked the old lady. "Is Miss Mian not good? If it weren't for her..."

"If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many troubles today." Li Tingshen interrupted her, "Grandma, you like Gu Mian, and I've already kept him as Mrs. Li. What else do you want? You want me to protect her and love her? I can tell you directly, it's impossible."

The old lady was so angry that she was shaking. "Okay, then I'll tell you, even if Miss Mian can't be my granddaughter-in-law, I will still love her as my own granddaughter, and I won't allow anyone to hurt her!"

Gu Mian turned around and went upstairs. When he returned to the room, he couldn't control his tears from falling.

When Li Ting went deeper, he saw Gu Mian sitting beside the bed crying.

The man stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Mian slowly raised his head and looked at him.

Li Ting frowned deeply.

He had never seen such a cold look in Gu Mian's eyes. He could even see a hint of despair in her coldness.

Li Tingshen was inexplicably irritated, "What happened?"

Gu Mian didn't answer him and stood up to leave.

"Gu Mian!" Li Tingshen grabbed her hand, "Are you deaf? I'm asking you a question!"
