Chapter 352 You are mine, and I am yours

On the hospital bed, Lan Jing was so angry that her face turned pale. "Gu Mian, do you mean to break up with me? I find you are so hypocritical. You say you are grateful to me, but you don't even agree to my small request..."

"According to what you said, I should give you both my husband and MS Group to express my gratitude to you, right?" Gu Mian smiled calmly, "Miss Lan, as the old saying goes, if it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, even if it is given to you, you will not be able to receive it."

"Are you laughing at me?"

"I respect you very much and have been trying to persuade you with kind words, but if you insist, no one can help you."

Lan Jing was so angry that she was speechless. "...Didn't you say you wanted to repay me? Then I want the villa next door to yours, which is where I lived before."

Gu Mian laughed, "If you can't be a servant, you want to be a neighbor?"

"I'm going to settle down in the capital, so I definitely need a house to live in." Lan Jinghao said confidently, "Also, I want a share of MS Group, not much, 10% will do."

Gu Mian: "......"

"Ruyi's plan was a good one. You know you want shares instead of money." Gu Mian sat down on the sofa. "Did Gu Xing teach you that?"

"Do you really think I've never seen the world and need someone to teach me everything?" Lan Jinghao sneered, "Money will run out one day, but shares are different. With shares, I have endless money to spend."

"It seems like the purchase of the phone was not in vain." Gu Mian smiled faintly, "It's just that I can't give you any shares, let alone 10%."

1% of MS Group's shares is enough to last for several lifetimes.

10%, that's a big mouth for the lion.

Lan Jing was furious, "Gu Mian, what do you mean!"

"If you have the right values, I don't mind giving you some shares so that you can have something to rely on for the rest of your life."

"But it's obvious that you didn't listen to me and tried to hold on to Ting Shen. Then I can't let you have anything to do with the Li family."

"If you like that villa, I can give it to you. I can also give you a sum of money. As long as you don't gamble or invest recklessly, it will be enough for you to use for a lifetime. This is definitely enough as a reward for saving Ting Shen."

"After you accept it, Ting Shen will have nothing to do with you anymore. You can't look for him in the future. Can you do that?"

"Gu Mian, you have such a vicious mind!" Lan Jing said angrily, "You actually want to cut off the connection between Xiao Gu and me! Do you think the relationship between him and me can be bought with money?"

"What else?" Gu Mian smiled. "You are not fantasizing about living in the villa I gave you, using the money I gave you, and hooking up with my husband, right?"

"Ms. Lan, this world does not revolve around you."

"Then this world can't revolve around you, Gu Mian!" Lan Jinghao sneered, "You don't even want to give me shares, how much money can you give me? Xiao Gu is a priceless treasure. Aren't you afraid that he will be disappointed if he knows that you are using this little money to get rid of me!"

"I don't know if he will be disappointed or not. I only know that after he knows what kind of person you are, he may not even be willing to give you this little money." Gu Mian said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go and find out how cold and indifferent Li Tingshen is."

After Gu Mian finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

She held her head, thought for a moment, and made a phone call.

"Sister-in-law." Li Xingze picked up the phone quickly.

"Xingze, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"You say."

Gu Mian and Li Xingze had always been at odds with each other in the past, but after Li Tingshen's accident, Li Xingze's attitude towards her became much better.

Gu Mian was immersed in sorrow and had no intention of dwelling on the past with him, so the two of them reconciled tacitly.

Gu Mian said, "It's like this, the villa next door is actually the wedding room that grandma prepared for you, but now I need it, can you give it to me first?"

"Of course you can." Li Xingze said without hesitation, "I'll give it to you. Do you need to transfer the ownership?"

"Probably not. The house should still be under grandma's name, but she prepared it for you, so I still need your consent."

"No problem for me." Li Xingze was very generous. "Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as I have it, you can take it. I won't even frown."

"Thank you Xingze."

"We are all family, why be polite." Li Xingze asked, "By the way, how is my brother? When can he recover his memory?"

"The blood clot has been almost cleared. As for when I can recover my memory, no one can guarantee it. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe I have to wait a long time. There is no certainty."

"Then...what if he can't recover his memory?"

Gu Mian smiled carefreely, "Then let him fall in love with me again after losing his memory."

"My sister-in-law is so domineering!" Li Xingze was inexplicably excited, "This is what my sister-in-law should say!"

"It's getting late. I won't disturb you from resting. Come home and have dinner when you have time."

"Okay, good night, sister-in-law."

"Good night."

......

Gu Mian hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to take a hot bath.

After a tiring night, I am not sleepy at this moment.

She simply put on her coat, took a bottle of red wine to the terrace, half-lying on an outdoor bench and drinking by herself.

After a while, I suddenly heard footsteps.

Gu Mian turned around and saw Li Tingshen walking towards him.

"Why are you here?"

"I saw you here when I closed the terrace door."

Li Tingshen's study and master bedroom are adjacent to each other and share a large terrace.

"Drink?"

Li Ting raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say I don't smoke or drink?"

Gu Mian blinked and said, "It's okay to drink a little occasionally."

Li Tingshen sat down next to her and said, "Since Doctor Gu said so, of course I have to drink it."

Gu Mian went into the room, took out a tall glass, and poured him a glass. "I toast to you."

"Thank you."

The two men clinked their glasses and drank slowly.

Gu Mian leaned back on the bench and looked up at the night sky. "Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar. Look, the moon is big and bright."

"Did we watch the moon together like this before?"

"Yes, after a busy day, now is the most relaxing time. We often sit here like this, drinking and chatting."

"What did we talk about?"

"We can talk about anything, no matter what comes to mind. There is always an endless amount of topics to talk about."

"This is rare." Li Tingshen smiled, "After all, we have been married for so many years."

"Yes, I'm already 30 years old. We've been married for ten years." Gu Mian said with emotion, "In ten years of marriage, we haven't spent many days together."

"I'm sorry..." Li Ting said in a deep voice, "I will make it up to you later."

"You said that before." Gu Mian's nose was sour, "but not long after, something happened and he fell off a cliff."

"You never told me how I fell off the cliff."

Gu Mian briefly introduced Gu Xingzhi to him, "... This is what happened. In order to save Xiaobao, you hid it from me... To be precise, you went to the appointment in my place and died with Gu Xingzhi. Fortunately, you are still alive."

“It’s a blessing indeed.”

Although Li Tingshen couldn't recall what happened, he knew without thinking too much that it was a life-and-death experience.

“So I’m happy.”

After drinking half a bottle of wine, Gu Mian was already a little tipsy.

When he turned to look at her, there was a hint of confusion in his clear eyes.

"Ting Shen, it's a good thing you're back, otherwise, I don't know how I would survive the rest of my life..."

"Ting Shen, thank you for being alive..."

Li Ting stared at her deeply, suddenly put down the goblet in his hand, leaned over and kissed her.

With a loud "clang"!

The goblet in Gu Mian's hand fell to the ground.

But neither of them was in the mood to care about the broken glass on the ground.

Gu Mian slowly closed her eyes, hooked her hands around the man's neck, and responded to his kiss.

In return, the man demands more fiercely.

She was aroused by the man's familiar scent, and with the influence of alcohol, she could no longer remain rational, and her hands could not wait to unbutton the man's shirt.

Li Tingshen immediately grabbed her wrist to stop her, and ended the kiss with great difficulty.

"Sleep." The man left her lips, his eyes like the deepest and darkest night, revealing a dangerous aura, "Calm down."

"Why are you so calm?" Gu Mian raised her head and pecked his thin lips lightly, her breath mixed with the smell of red wine spraying on his nose, "You are mine... I... am also yours."

Li Ting was stunned for a moment, then he could no longer control himself and lowered his head to kiss her again.

This kiss was clearly no longer restrained, but carried a heat and determination that could tear her apart.

The two of them kissed passionately, and Gu Mian felt as if the air around them was burning.

Hot.

Li Tingshen kissed her while picking her up and walking into the master bedroom.

Putting her on the soft big bed, the man leaned over and kissed her again.

With his long, bony hands he stripped off her coat and threw it on the ground.

Just as he was about to tear off her nightgown, the next second, he saw that Gu Mian had fallen asleep.

Li Tingshen was stunned for a moment.

He closed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things, and suddenly burst into laughter out of anger.

"Gu Mian, are you deliberately making trouble for me?"

Li Tingshen pulled up the quilt beside him, covered Gu Mian with it, leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep, good night."

"We have a long way to go."

Li Tingshen turned off the light and the door and returned to the study.

The heat in his body never subsided, and he went straight into the bathroom without much hesitation...

......

When I woke up from a deep sleep, I had the illusion that I didn't know what day it was.

The master bedroom was dimly lit, blocked by blackout curtains.

Gu Mian picked up his phone and found that it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

She woke up and her thoughts gradually came back to her senses.

She was drinking on the terrace last night, and then Li Tingshen came.

They drank and chatted together, and then...it seemed like they kissed each other.

She didn't remember what happened next, and didn't even know how she got back to bed.

Gu Mian felt it carefully and based on his many years of experience as a married woman, he felt that nothing should have happened last night.

Gu Mian got up, threw off the quilt, washed, changed his clothes, and opened the door to go out.

The door of the study next door opened almost at the same time, and Li Tingshen, dressed in a casual suit, walked out of the study.

Their eyes met and they both stopped.

Gu Mian suddenly recalled the scene of them kissing passionately last night, and her face immediately turned red. "I...you...how did I get back to my room last night?"

Li Ting curled his lips deeply, "Have you forgotten everything?"

Gu Mian nodded, "I can't hold my alcohol well, and I drank too much last night, so I lost control of the movie."

"I carried you back to the room."

"Thank you."

"Don't you want to know what happened?"

Gu Mian: "......"

"Carry me back to my room, what could possibly happen?"

"Of course." Li Ting's eyes deepened, "We kissed as we went back to the room."

Gu Mian’s face turned red all the way to his ears!

Li Tingshen's smile widened, "You still..."

Gu Mian rushed to him in a hurry and covered his mouth with his hand, "Stop talking!"

Li Tingshen took her hand away. "I am just stating the facts. What can't I say? And last night...it was you who took the initiative."

"I told you to stop talking!" Gu Mian hurriedly lowered his voice, "If you keep talking, I won't drink with you next time!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Li Tingshen tried hard to suppress his laughter. "It's getting late, let's go downstairs and have dinner."

"Um."

......

After lunch, Gu Mian went to work at MS Group.

As soon as I sat down in the office, Lan Jinghao called.

Gu Mian picked up the phone directly, "Ms. Lan."

"Why didn't Xiao Gu answer my call?" Lan Jinghao asked bluntly, "Did you tell him something?"

Gu Mian curled his lips, "I don't need to do this."

"That may not be the case." Lan Jing could hardly hide her anger. "Gu Mian, I saved Xiao Gu's life. Since you are unwilling to divorce him, you have to remember my kindness for the rest of your life. You have to give me what I want. Do you understand?"

"Miss Lan, I think I have a good temper, but you always hit my sore spots accurately." Gu Mian shook his head helplessly, "It is my duty to repay you, but I have no obligation to let you take whatever you want."

"Now that we've come to this, don't blame me for drawing a clear line between us. I'll give you the villa you asked for. In addition, I'll give you another 100 million. From now on, Ting Shen and you won't owe each other anything."

"One billion?" Lan Jinghao sneered, "Are you sending away beggars?"

She already knew that the MS Group's assets were a mystery, exceeding hundreds of billions.

Gu Mian actually only took out 1 billion to send off his savior. How could she even say that?

"It seems that Miss Lan has been using her phone too much and has become more knowledgeable. She doesn't even care about 1 billion yuan." Gu Mian said with a smile, "You have to know that this amount of money is something you will never earn in your lifetime."

"With this money, you can stop working for the rest of your life, and the interest alone will be enough for you to live on."

"Gu Mian, do you really think I'm stupid?" Lan Jing said with disdain, "You don't even look at how much the MS Group is worth, and you only took out 1 billion."

"Do you think I'm unworthy, or is Xiao Gu just worthless in your eyes?"

"You can think whatever you want. Anyway, this is all I can give you. If you want it, take it. If not, you can continue to waste it." Gu Mian smiled. "I advise you, unless you have absolute confidence that you can make my husband fall in love with you, otherwise, I still advise you to live your own life with the money and the house. It is best for you."

In the ward, Lan Jinghao gritted her teeth secretly and said nothing.

Just as I was hesitating, Li Tingshen suddenly called.

Lan Jing was delighted and quickly hung up Gu Mian's call and answered Li Tingshen's.

"Xiao Gu, you finally paid attention to me. Do you know how much I missed you..."
