Chapter 350 Sleeping Together

"I had a stomachache just now, but it's gone now."

"It hurts again?" Li Ting was surprised. "Although it hurt every time before, it was only limited to the first two days, and it was continuous, not this kind of pain from time to time."

"I'll ask my godmother and the doctor to come and check you out, okay?"

"Isn't this too much of a fuss?"

It's just dysmenorrhea, which is normal.

"Gu Mian, be careful." Li Tingshen insisted, "You don't have to worry about it. You are the one that your mother loves the most. As for doctors, they are paid well to serve us."

Gu Mian did not refuse, "Okay then."

......

Lu Yueming has been busy making an antidote for Gu Mian recently.

Because there were a few kinds of medicine in short supply, we went into the mountains and searched for several days before we found them.

When Lu Yueming received Li Tingshen's call, he had just come down from the mountain and immediately rushed to the hotel.

"Fuck." Li Tingshen greeted her at the elevator entrance. "You've worked hard."

"Going into the mountains to look for medicine is a common thing for me. Besides, you arranged so many people to protect and take care of me. It's not hard at all." Lu Yueming asked, "Is Mianmian in severe pain?"

"She didn't say anything, but she did look unhappy. I was worried, so I called you anyway."

"Go in and take a look."

The first time Gu Mian saw Lu Yueming, he felt close to him.

"Gu Mian, this is my godmother." Li Ting introduced in detail.

Gu Mian nodded as a greeting.

Lu Yueming tried hard to suppress her excitement, "Mianmian, let me take your pulse, okay?"

"Thank you."

Lu Yueming sat beside Gu Mian, took her hand and felt her pulse, but soon, his brows began to furrow...

Li Ting thought deeply, "Fuck, what happened to Gu Mian?"

"Don't be nervous." Lu Yueming said, "My pulse is normal, nothing unusual, but I don't know why it's beating faster than usual. Has your family doctor checked it? What does he say?"

"Nothing to say. I had a blood test two days ago and everything was normal. They just told me to observe and drink more water and have a good rest."

Lu Yueming nodded, "That's what I said, too. Rest more, work less, and don't drink cold drinks."

After hearing what Lu Yueming said, Li Tingshen felt more at ease, "I'm glad everything is fine."

"Ting Shen, don't be too nervous. You two are both blessed children."

"Thank you, Mom."

Lu Yueming wanted to go back to make the antidote and had no plans to stay long.

Li Tingshen sent her out, "Fuck, what do you think of Mr. Lu Lang?"

Lu Yueming was curious, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"You are his fellow student, and I want to know more about you."

Lu Yueming knew everything and said, "Although he and I are from the same school, we haven't been together for so many years, so I don't know him very well."

"What about when you were younger?"

"When he was young, he was a very good person." Lu Yueming looked distressed. "My junior brother has no parents since he was a child. He was adopted by our master. He is not particularly smart, but he has a good personality and is able to endure hardships. The master likes him very much."

"Any other information?"

Lu Yueming stopped in front of the elevator, thought carefully, and said, "After he graduated at the age of 20, he followed his master to practice as a traveling doctor for half a year. When he came back, he became strange."

"What's so strange?"

"He doesn't like to talk, his personality is not as cheerful as before, and he often locks himself in his room." Lu Yueming said, "At that time, my fellow disciples and I were very worried, so we went to ask our master, but he didn't tell us anything."

"Later, my master was drunk and accidentally told me something. He seemed to say that he fell in love with a girl while traveling as a doctor, but the relationship ended without any result. I then realized that the reason for his drastic change in personality was that he was emotionally hurt."

"But after a while, he recovered. Then my master passed away unexpectedly, and I left the sect and went out to wander around. I never had any contact with him again."

"Later, when I met him at your house, I learned that he had never married and was still single in his middle age."

"so it is......"

Lu Yueming looked at him, "Ting Shen, you never say useless things or do useless things. There must be a reason why you asked about Lu Lang today, right?"

Li Tingshen did not hide the truth, "The two pills were in the hands of Mr. Lu Lang. Given his cautious character and the fact that they were such rare medicines, he would never lose them. How could they fall into Gu Xingzhi's hands so easily?"

"So you suspect there's something wrong with Lu Lang?"

"It's just a guess." Li Ting said, "Gu Xingzhi has a backup plan. If Mr. Lu Lang is really his man, it would be easy for him to harm our family with his identity, so I have to be on guard."

"After all, human minds are unpredictable. Even Gu Zhiyuan could drug Gu Mian."

"I heard about Gu Zhiyuan's matter from the bodyguard on the way to the hotel. It was really disappointing." Lu Yueming sighed, "People always weigh the pros and cons."

"Mianmian is just not favored by him. If that's the case, it's not worth getting angry at such a person."

"But I don't want to make Gu Mian sad." Li Tingshen said coldly, "The condition for me to let him go is that he can continue to play the role of Gu Mian's uncle and preserve the last connection between Gu Mian and the Gu family. But he can never think of returning to the imperial capital again."

"Tingshen, I'm sorry for that." Lu Yueming looked at him with relief, "I know you've changed a lot for Mianmian. This wasn't your style."

"Now it seems that you and Gu Xingzhi are completely opposite. You appear cold on the outside, but gentle on the inside. And Gu Xingzhi..." Lu Yueming shook his head helplessly, "appears gentle on the outside, but is crueler than anyone else on the inside."

"I'm just lucky to marry Gu Mian." Li Tingshen's lips curled up into a gentle smile, "I'm luckier than Gu Xingzhi."

......

When Li Tingshen returned to the living room, Nian Nian had already woken up and Gu Mian was having afternoon tea with her.

"You bad boy, come and eat something." Nian Nian called out enthusiastically, "Here's a cookie for you!"

Li Tingshen walked forward and sat down next to them.

Nian Nian immediately fed the biscuit into Li Ting's mouth.

"Thank you, Nian Nian."

Li Tingshen doesn't like sweets, but he never refuses anything his daughter feeds him.

Gu Mian took a sip of coffee and asked, "Why did you take so long? Is there something wrong with my health? I'll talk to you in private, right?"

"Nothing." Li Ting smiled deeply and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Also, drink less coffee these days."

"oh."

I didn’t have a coffee addiction when I was sleeping, but I felt a bland taste in my mouth when I woke up, so I chose coffee.

Li Tingshen poured her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and said, "Drink this."

"good."

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Aunt Zhang to prepare it."

"All right."

"You haven't eaten Western food for a long time. Can we have Western food tonight?"

"Can."

......

The dinner was very sumptuous.

Li Tingshen brought the cut steak to Nian Nian and said, "Eat it."

"Thanks, bad guy."

Nian Nian is not picky about food. She basically eats whatever you give her and eats it with great relish.

Li Ting looked at Gu Mian who was sitting opposite him and said, "Let's eat."

"good."

Gu Mian asked while eating, "Why didn't my brother come?"

"He called me an hour ago and said he had something to do today and couldn't come have dinner with you."

“That’s right.”

"Grandpa also called me today and was very happy. He said your brother stayed in the master bedroom last night."

Gu Mian took a sip of his drink and said, "Isn't it normal for him to stay in the master bedroom?"

"His relationship with Xu Yihan is very complicated, and they usually sleep in separate rooms."

"Is that so?" Gu Mian pouted. "We usually have separate rooms, but it doesn't stop him from staying in the main bedroom occasionally. Men... "

Li Tingshen: "......"

"So, Gu Mian, you stayed in the master bedroom because you thought your brother had needs in that aspect?"

"What else?"

Li Tingshen laughed softly, "Who said that only men have needs? Don't you women have any?"

"We women..."

Gu Mian was about to open her mouth to defend herself when she suddenly realized that she and Li Tingshen were actually talking about such a topic that is not suitable for children.

The key point is that Nian Nian was still happily eating.

"Ahem..." Gu Mian coughed awkwardly, "I don't know, and I don't want to talk about it."

Li Tingshen tried hard to suppress his laughter, "Okay, if you want to know the truth, you can go ask your brother yourself."

Gu Mian: "......"

"You keep talking!"

Nian Nian smiled with her eyebrows curved, "You bad boy made mommy angry!"

"Niannian, Mommy is not angry." Li Ting smiled deeply and said, "Mommy is very generous and will not get angry easily."

"Nian Nian is as generous as Mommy!"

"Yes, our Nian Nian is the most open-minded little baby."

After dinner, Gu Mian took Nian Nian to the sky garden for a walk and play, and they didn’t return to the room until nine o’clock.

The nanny who takes care of Nian Nian has packed some of Nian Nian's things and brought them over.

The nanny gave Nian Nian a bath and said, "Nian Nian, say good night to Mommy. It's time for us to go to bed."

"No!" Nian Nian lingered, "I want to sleep with Mommy!"

The nanny was a little embarrassed, "Madam, this..."

"It's okay, sleep with me." Gu Mian agreed happily, "If there's anything you need to pay attention to, just tell me."

"No, she's very well behaved and easy to take care of. She basically sleeps all the way through the night and doesn't wake up during the night."

"That's good." Gu Mian put a set of cute cartoon pajamas on Nian Nian, "Let's go to bed."

Gu Mian carried Nian Nian back to her room and asked the nanny to stay with her while she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When we came out, the nanny left and said, "Madam, if anything happens at night, please call me anytime."

"Okay, go and rest."

"yes."

Gu Mian turned off the ceiling light, leaving only the sleep light on, "Niannian, Mommy will tell you a story, and then we can go to sleep, okay?"

"No!" Nian Nian sat up, "I want the bad guy to accompany me!"

"Didn't you say that mommy would sleep with you?"

"But the bad guy has to come and keep me company. We used to sleep together."

Gu Mian: "......"

Before she could figure out how to persuade him, she heard Nian Nian raising her voice and shouting, "You bad bastard... You bad bastard!"

Gu Mian was wearing a lotus pink suspender nightgown. She quickly got up and took the matching nightgown to put on, wrapping herself tightly.

She went to open the door and saw Li Tingshen striding towards her.

"I seemed to hear Nian Nian calling me." Li Tingshen looked a little nervous, "What's wrong?"

"She is looking for you and wants you to accompany her."

"So that's how it is." Li Tingshen smiled, "I'll coax her to sleep and then leave, okay?"

Gu Mian nodded, "Come in."

Nian Nian was very happy to see Li Tingshen, "You bad boy, lie down and sleep with me and mommy."

"Okay." Li Tingshen lifted the quilt and lay down, "Nian Nian, lie down."

"Mommy, you lie down too."

Gu Mian had no choice but to do as he was told.

Only then did Nian Nian lie down with peace of mind.

Li Tingshen covered her with a blanket.

After a while, Nian Nian felt something was wrong again, so she took Gu Mian's hand and placed it on herself, then pulled Li Tingshen's hand and covered it with Gu Mian's hand.

Gu Mian was startled and looked at Li Tingshen subconsciously.

He was also gazing at her, a smile spreading across his handsome brows.

Gu Mian's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

"Okay, now I can go to sleep." Nian Nian was satisfied. "You bad boy, you can start telling stories now."

"What story do you want to hear today?"

Nian Nian thought about it carefully, "Snow White."

"Okay, Daddy will tell you..."

Gu Mian discovered that Li Tingshen could tell stories to Nian Nian without a mobile phone or storybook.

It seems that he is not unfamiliar with this matter.

He would also change any plot that was illogical or did not conform to his values.

For example, although Snow White was awakened by the prince's kiss, she did not need to rely on the prince to live.

She was smart and capable. After returning to the palace, she used her wit to save the prince.

They are equal.

Gu Mian agrees with this very much.

Hearing the deep and gentle voice of Li Tingshen, Nian Nian slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Li Tingshen stopped talking at this point.

But his hand always held Gu Mian's hand and did not take it away.

In the quiet bedroom, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Gu Mian looked away awkwardly and said softly, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest."

"Okay." Li Tingshen let go of her hand, stood up and said, "You should go to bed early too. Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

Li Tingshen closed the door and left.

I turned off the lights, but I didn't feel sleepy.

I don’t know why, but after Nian Nian came today, her impression of Li Tingshen changed a lot.

He is very family-oriented and takes great care of her and Nian Nian.

She was not sure yet whether Li Tingshen was a good husband.

But she could see that he must be a good father.

Sleep drives away the chaotic thoughts in your mind, close your eyes and fall asleep.

In the study, Li Tingshen was sitting in front of the computer, checking the security of Yunyue Bay and the hotel.

"Boss Li."

The programmer knocked on the door and came in. "The computers that were at the fire site were severely burned, but our people still brought them back and tried to repair them."

"We were lucky that one of the machines was repaired and the data inside was extracted."

Li Tingshen raised his eyelids and asked, "What is it?"

"Gu Xingzhi installed surveillance cameras around the house with no blind spots. All the surveillance footage is inside. I guess because I left in a hurry, I didn't have time to delete it."

Li Ting looked back and asked, "Are these surveillance devices useful to me?"

"It didn't have much effect, but the surveillance camera captured the face of Gu Xingzhi." The programmer reported, "Don't you suspect that Mr. Lu Lang and Gu Xingzhi have some private connection?"

"So I specifically looked into this aspect and found that Gu Xingzhi's younger brother had visited Mr. Lu Lang three times at different times..."
