Chapter 52 You Are Mine

Gu Mian was stunned for a long time before turning around and looking at him, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Li Ting held her shoulders tightly. "Gu Mian, from now on, I will do my best to satisfy you."

Gu Mian's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Including Yin Luoxue's matter?"

"I just said that I will not let you give her a blood transfusion again."

Gu Mian's dusty heart seemed to have been chiseled open by something.

Li Tingshen even gave in on Yin Luoxue's matter.

He's even willing to have a child with her?

She couldn't believe it.

"Ting Shen, what do you want to do?" Gu Mian remained rational. "You said these things because you are afraid that I will take revenge on Yin Luoxue, right?"

She lost her child and was seriously injured and almost died, so she really hated Yin Luoxue to the core.

At one point, I also wanted to die with her.

But Li Tingshen protected Yin Luoxue very well. Zhang Ma said that he even arranged bodyguards to always stay by Yin Luoxue's side to prevent Gu Mian from getting close.

But after Gu Mian calmed down, he actually had no intention of dying together.

Her grandparents worked hard to raise her, not to let her die with the evil people.

It's not worth sacrificing your life for someone like Yin Luoxue.

Yin Luoxue has evil intentions, and it is only a matter of time before something bad happens to her. She just needs to protect herself and wait and see what happens to her.

"It has nothing to do with Luoxue." Li Ting stared deeply into her clear almond eyes, "Gu Mian, let's go back to the past. You continue to love me, okay?"

Gu Mian was stunned.

She didn't have to give Yin Luoxue a blood transfusion, and she could even have a child with him, which was what she had always dreamed of.

She admitted that it was hard not to be moved.

After all, the man in front of her was the man she had loved deeply for ten years.

After ten years, loving him has become a habit, a habit engraved in my bones.

Every moment she decided to give up on him, she felt heartbroken.

Love is painful, and so is not loving.

Now that he's giving in, she should take it.

But the terms of this exchange are still unfair.

"Ting Shen." Through the mist in his eyes, Gu Mian looked at the face in front of him that he had loved for ten years, "Have you ever thought that not giving Yin Luoxue a blood transfusion is my right, not a gift from you. As your wife, it is also my right to give birth to a child, not a reward from you."

"You are taking my rights and exchanging them for what you want. Do you think that is fair?"

Li Ting frowned slightly, "What else do you want? Not having a blood transfusion and having a baby, aren't those what you want? I've given them to you, what else do you want? Tell me."

Gu Mian smiled bitterly, "You can ask such a question, but you don't understand what true marriage is."

"Gu Mian, I really don't understand you." Li Ting closed his eyes and said, "I have already compromised, why are you still digging into a dead end?"

Gu Mian pulled the corner of his lips and said, "You are wrong. The most obsessive thing I have ever done in my life is loving you. Now that I don't love you anymore, I will naturally stop obsessing about it."

"No!" Li Tingshen hugged her tightly, "You will continue to love me, Gu Mian, you are mine, for the rest of your life..."

Gu Mian closed his eyes and tears rolled down his face.

That night, Li Tingshen did nothing but fell asleep holding Gu Mian.

This was the first time he slept with her in his arms since they got married.

......

On the weekend, Gu Mian went to visit Gu Zhiyuan.

Gu Zhiyuan runs a hot pot restaurant. The hot pot base is a secret recipe he developed himself. The taste is good and the business is very stable.

Gu Mian went there in the afternoon. Gu Zhiyuan had just finished his work and was very happy to see Gu Mian. "Mianmian, you're here? Have you eaten? Uncle will make you something to eat."

"Uncle, stop busying yourself. I've already eaten." Gu Mian was helping to pick vegetables. "I'm free today, so I came to see you and your aunt. Here are some skin care products for your aunt, and some supplements. You two can eat together."

"Why are you wasting this money, kid?" Gu Zhiyuan went to make her a cup of tea. "Mianmian, how are you doing recently?"

"It's good. I've just started working. Every day is very fulfilling and I can learn a lot."

"You've been smart since you were young, and you can learn anything quickly. Uncle is not worried about your job." Gu Zhiyuan asked, "I'm asking, how are you and Ting Shen?"

"Not bad."

"You always report good news but not sorrow. Even if you're not doing well, you won't tell your uncle." Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "Two days ago, Ting Shen's assistant came again and gave me the property certificate of the store next door. He also said that he would find someone to turn my hot pot restaurant into a chain brand. In this way, I don't have to work, I can just be responsible for management."

"Uncle, what do you think?"

"I am not that kind of person, your uncle. It is not as practical for me to sit in an office and manage people as it is to prepare the base of the pot." Gu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Your grandfather has long said that I am destined to work but not enjoy life."

Gu Mian said, "Uncle, if you think so, just stay at this store and you won't have any problems with retirement."

"Yes, be content with what you have. You can never make enough money. What's most important is to live a down-to-earth life." Gu Zhiyuan looked at her, "Mianmian, uncle said this to you. Uncle can see that you like Tingshen very much. Listen to uncle. If you really can't bear to leave him, just live a good life. As for some things, let the past be the past. People should look forward."

Gu Mian paused while selecting vegetables. "Did Ting Shen ask you to tell me this?"

"How could Ting Shen come to me?" Gu Zhiyuan said, "Don't think that your uncle is saying these things to you because he is weak. Your uncle is not afraid of your aunt, but he knows that her nature is hard to change. It is rare to argue with her. But in your matter, I have made it clear to her. If one day you decide to divorce, you must return the store to Ting Shen. Our Gu family has backbone. Since we are divorced, we will never take anything from others."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

"Family members don't talk about these things." Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "The reason I told you those words just now is because I was thinking of your grandma. She loves you the most. If she saw you like this, I don't know how worried she would be."

"I think if your grandmother were still alive, she would hope that you could manage your marriage well, have a child of your own, and live a peaceful and stable life."

Thinking of grandma, Gu Mian's nose was sour, "I have always known grandma's expectations, but uncle, Ting Shen is not that person..."

"Mianmian, uncle knows you. You are actually a very stubborn child. Uncle wants to ask you, even if you and Tingshen are divorced, can you still easily fall in love with another man and start a family?"

Gu Mian is silent, but he already represents the answer.

It's too difficult.

She had loved Li Tingshen so passionately before, and it was really difficult for her to fall in love with another man again.

"So, Mianmian, your uncle doesn't want you to spend the rest of your life alone after divorcing Li Tingshen." Gu Zhiyuan looked at her with heartache, "Listen to your uncle. If this marriage can still be saved, don't give up easily. After all, it's rare for a person to meet the person they love in their life, let alone get married. This is already a great fate between you..."

......

In the days that followed, neither Li Tingshen nor Gu Mian took the initiative to bring up what they talked about that night.

Li Tingshen would send Gu Mian to work every morning and pick her up after get off work in the evening, just like a loving newlywed couple.

He also deliberately restrained himself in marital affairs. Every night he just kissed her and did not take any further action, but just hugged her to sleep.

Gu Mian could see that he didn't want to force her.

He really couldn't bear it that night, so he kissed the corner of her lips and asked hoarsely, "Can I sleep with you?"
