Chapter 88 Confess to Him
Gu Mian slowly raised his head and looked at him again.
Her face was red, and she could hardly hide her shyness, but her voice was extremely firm. "I married you, and the more important reason was that I liked you. Even though you were a vegetable at the time and might never wake up, I was still willing to marry you. Even if you never wake up, I am willing to stay with you for the rest of my life."
Li Tingshen's heart was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
He seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat accelerating.
Although he already knew that Gu Mian loved him, this was the first time that Gu Mian confessed to him.
There were countless women in this world who admired him, and it wasn't the first time he had been confessed to, but no one had ever caused such a stir in his heart as this one.
Gu Mian's face turned even redder. "So Li Tingshen, as long as I love you, even if we don't have sex, I am willing to be a good wife."
Li Tingshen couldn't help but chuckle, "Little fool, you are more innocent than I thought..."
Gu Mian pouted, "Originally, I was determined to divorce you. Who asked you to rush out to protect me last night? You overturned the decision I had made with great difficulty..."
"Don't be ungrateful." Li Tingshen said with a smile, "It hurts a lot to be in the knife. You won't be able to bear it."
Gu Mian felt distressed for a moment.
Of course she could imagine how much pain he would be in.
"Gu Mian, I'm sorry." Li Tingshen raised his hand and stroked her fair and bright face with his fingertips. "I was wrong about what happened in the past. I shouldn't have obeyed Luoxue unconditionally in order to repay her kindness and ignored your feelings. I was not a good husband who fulfilled his duties. I even caused you and grandma's regrets because of her."
Gu Mian lowered his eyes, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Gu Mian, I know it's too late to say anything now, but I still hope that you can give me one more chance, just one last time. I don't want to be separated from you."
Gu Mian's nose was sour, "Ting Shen, even if I still love you, it doesn't mean that our marriage is normal. Yin Luoxue will always stand between us."
"I don't love Luoxue." Li Ting said solemnly, "Gu Mian, I have never loved Luoxue."
Gu Mian was stunned. "How is it possible?"
"Why not? When did I admit that I loved Luoxue?" Li Ting smiled faintly, "To be honest, I don't think I can fall in love with any woman. Luoxue was just an agreement made by my grandfather's generation for us to be married. I didn't even take this verbal agreement seriously. But later she saved me and was kind to me, so I will repay her."
"I admit that if you had not married me because of the car accident, I might have married her, but this if no longer exists because you are already a rich lady."
Gu Mian stared at him blankly, "So you don't love me, nor do you love Yin Luoxue..."
"I'm sorry for not giving you love in return." Li Tingshen said frankly, "I've watched the drama between my parents since I was a child, and I see clearly that marriage can have nothing to do with love. My mother was hurt because she loved my father, so I will not let myself fall in love with any woman and become my weak spot."
Gu Mian's heart ached, not because he didn't love her, but because she felt sorry for him.
"Then why do you still want to be with me?"
"I like being with you." Li Tingshen held her face with his hands. "Gu Mian, give me another chance. Maybe you can teach me how to love someone."
Gu Mian's heart trembled violently.
She couldn't resist the impact of these words. At this moment, her brain was unable to think and she just wanted to hug him tightly.
Gu Mian followed her heart and leaned into his arms.
Li Tingshen immediately hugged her tightly.
At that moment, the joy of regaining what he had lost swept his heart.
He hugged her tightly as if she were a treasure.
"Ting Shen, please don't hurt me anymore." Gu Mian's tears flowed into his chest, "I'm actually not that strong. Every time you hurt me, I feel so painful that I want to die..."
"I promise you, from now on, I will take care of things between Luoxue and I won't let you get hurt because of her again." Li Ting kissed her forehead deeply, "Teacher Gu, thank you for giving me another chance."
Gu Mian looked up at him, "What did you call me?"
"Teacher Gu." Li Ting raised his eyebrows deeply, "Didn't we just agree that you would teach me how to love someone?"
Gu Mian burst into laughter, "What time is it now? You still have the heart to joke?"
Li Ting hugged her tightly.
He even began to look forward to the day when he would fall in love with Gu Mian.
......
In the evening, Li's Group sent some documents that needed to be signed. Li Tingshen processed them, and Gu Mian brought hot water and a towel to help him wipe his body.
After wiping, Gu Mian saw that he was in a good mood and said, "Ting Shen, let me take your pulse."
"No need." Li Tingshen's face turned cold. "It's already useless. There's nothing to talk about. Don't mention this matter in the future, and don't ask Mr. Lu Lang to treat me."
Gu Mian knew that he couldn't get over it, "Okay, I won't mention it anymore, don't be sad."
Li Tingshen's expression finally eased a little, "Go to sleep."
"You go to sleep first. I'll sleep in the lounge next door after you fall asleep."
Li Tingshen patted the seat beside him and said, "Just sleep here."
"No, you're injured. If I accidentally touch your wound, it will hurt."
"Just sleep here." Li Tingshen insisted.
Unable to sleep, he could only lie down on the hospital bed.
The bed in the VIP ward is 1.5 meters wide, large enough for two people to lie down.
Li Tingshen hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.
But as they kissed, Li Tingshen started to become dishonest and put his hand into her clothes.
Gu Mian's eyes widened and he quickly pulled his hand away, "You're crazy!"
Li Ting chuckled, his thin lips pressed against her ear, his hoarse voice was full of temptation, "I miss you so much..."
Gu Mian felt as if electric current was flowing through his body, making him feel tingling.
But her heart ached terribly.
Li Tingshen had a very strong sexual desire. During the two years after their marriage, he would want it every night unless she was physically inconvenienced.
But now his body is in poor condition and his desires cannot be relieved, so he must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Gu Mian couldn't imagine how difficult the rest of his life would be.
Gu Mian held his hand tightly and said, "Go to sleep."
"good."
......
The next morning.
When Yang's mother brought breakfast, Gu had just woken up.
She took care of Li Tingshen's washing and brought him breakfast.
Li Tingshen really enjoyed her care, so even though he could eat by himself, he let her feed him.
Just after finishing breakfast, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Li Hongxuan walked in with great momentum. He asked Li Ting who was lying on the bed, "Xingze said that you injured your kidney and it will affect that aspect. Is it true?"
Li Tingshen's face darkened slightly, "Yes."
Li Hongxuan could not hide his anger, "Xingze said that you were injured because you blocked the knife for Gu Mian, is that right?"
Li Tingshen said nothing.
Gu Mian stepped forward, "Dad, I'm sorry..."
“Bang!”
As soon as Gu Mian opened her mouth, a slap hit her hard on the face.
Li Hongxuan used such great force that Gu Mian lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the slap.
