Chapter 50 Continue to Love Me

Li Tingshen smiled faintly, "Is it Pei Jianchuan who called?"

"You could have just returned the check to him, but why did you touch my phone and block his number?"

"You're angry just because I blocked him?" Li Ting frowned, "Do you care about him that much?"

"I don't care about him, but I care about my privacy." Gu Mian said seriously, "Ting Shen, I have never touched your phone, and I don't like others touching mine."

"I didn't look at any of your privacy. I just blocked Pei Jianchuan's number." Li Ting looked at her deeply. "I've told you many times that I don't like you contacting him, but you always turned a deaf ear to me. Of course I have to take tough measures."

"Why do you take strong measures against me?" Gu Mian's beautiful face was as cold as water. "Did I ask you not to contact Yin Luoxue? Can I also take strong measures against you?"

“These are two different things.”

"How can they be two different things? I ask you to do what you ask of me. Isn't that fair?"

Li Ting sighed silently, "Gu Mian, don't get involved in what's going on between Luo Xue and me."

"Yeah, I don't even have the qualifications to get involved in what's going on between you guys..." Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "Then please don't interfere in my affairs."

"You are my wife. How can I not interfere when you are in contact with a man with ulterior motives?" Li Ting held her shoulders tightly. "Gu Mian, I know you have been unhappy for a while. Forget about the unhappiness and let's go back to the past."

"What is the past you're talking about?" Gu Mian stared at the handsome and flawless face in front of him. "I was the one who turned a deaf ear to the matter between you and Yin Luoxue, taking care of you wholeheartedly while serving as a mobile blood bank for Yin Luoxue, right?"

Li Tingshen was noncommittal. "Grandma said that you loved me sincerely in the past, is that right?"

"Ting Shen, I don't like you." Gu Mian's eyes were filled with tears, "I love you."

Li Ting was startled.

Their marriage was not based on love. He did not love Gu Mian, nor did he feel that Gu Mian loved him. She just needed to use her marriage in exchange for her grandmother's treatment.

So the word "love" has never come into contact between them.

This was the first time they had talked about this word, and what he didn't expect was that Gu Mian actually admitted that she loved him.

Li Tingshen couldn't describe how he felt, he just felt like his chest was filled with something.

Although it was unfamiliar, he knew that it was a joyful feeling.

It's like the joy and satisfaction I felt when I first possessed her.

The difference is that at this moment it is his heart that is excited.

"Gu Mian, let's go back to the past and you continue to love me."

Li Tingshen heard his own voice with a hint of excitement.

Gu Mian smiled bitterly, tears flowing uncontrollably, and slowly pushed his hand away, "Since you will never fall in love with me in this life, why do you ask me to continue loving you? Ting Shen, you are too selfish..."

Li Ting was stunned, and then he realized something, "Did you hear me?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Grandma asked me to bring you food and I overheard it." Gu Mian wiped the tears from his face in a panic.

She didn't want to be so vicious, never.

Li Tingshen spoke anxiously, "Gu Mian, listen to me..."

"What else can you say?" Gu Mian took a step back and distanced himself from him. "Ting Shen, there has never been any fairness between us... I loved you, but now, I don't love you anymore."

Li Tingshen's heart was deeply hurt.

He thought he was invincible, but he never knew that language could actually hurt him.

"Why?" Li Tingshen heard his own voice, "Why can't I keep loving you?"

"Because it hurts too much." Gu Mian wanted to hold back her tears, but she couldn't control them at all and kept falling. "Ting Shen, I'm actually not that philanthropic. I don't like Yin Luoxue and I don't want to give her a blood transfusion. But because I love you, I love you too and give her blood transfusions again and again."

"But what did I get? I was framed by Yin Luoxue and sent to prison, leaving a stain that can't be washed away. I have a husband who can never love me, and because of his white moonlight, I can't even have a child. I have a body that has become anemic from blood draws, and a heart that has been hurt by the man I love the most. I couldn't even see my beloved grandmother to the end of her life."

"Ting Shen, do you know? Ever since I fell in love with you, I seem to have been losing..."

Her tears seemed to turn into sharp knives, stabbing directly into Li Tingshen's chest, causing him to almost suffocate from the pain.

"Gu Mian, you hate me, right?"

"I don't hate you, but I can't continue to love you." Gu Mian tried to smile and maintain his dignity. "Ting Shen, for the sake of my deep love for you, please let me go... I will also... let myself go."

Li Tingshen looked at her back as she turned and left, and suddenly he seemed to understand why Mrs. Li, who was originally so gentle, suddenly became angry.

It turned out that she had always been hot-tempered, but because she loved him, she obeyed him unconditionally and accommodated him.

Now that I’m no longer in love and no longer willing to compromise, my edges and corners are naturally becoming clearer.

My face suddenly felt cold and it started raining without any warning.

Li Tingshen stood in the rain, staring in a daze in the direction where Gu Mian left.

"Sir!" The driver came over with a black umbrella, "It's raining, hurry up and get in the car, or you'll get wet."

Li Ting came back to his senses with great difficulty, "Where's my wife?"

"My wife just went there to take a taxi."

Li Ting closed his eyes and said, "Go home."

......

Li family.

Madam Li was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Li Xingze, watching a variety show. When she saw Li Tingshen coming in, she stood up and asked, "Why did you get caught in the rain?"

"Gu Mian?"

"Mian just called me and said she's moving back to Yunyue Bay, which is closer to the Chinese Medicine Hall and convenient for commuting." Madam Li guessed something, "Did you guys have a fight again?"

"No." Li Tingshen turned around and walked out, "I'm going back too."

"Stop." The old lady called him, "Ting Shen, Miss Mian is hiding from you, maybe she wants to be alone, you should give her some private space."

Li Tingshen stopped and asked, "Grandma, Gu Mian said that he once loved me. Is that true?"

The old lady was startled for a moment, then smiled with relief, "You finally talked it out..."

Li Tingshen turned around and looked at her, "You've always known this, right?"

"Grandma is very clear-sighted, and Mian is a clean and sincere child. There is nothing that you can't see." Old Madam Li sighed, "Perhaps you have never noticed that when she was a part-time nurse in the Li family, the look in her eyes when she looked at you was filled with the love of a young girl."

Li Ting was completely stunned...
