Chapter 89: Always Cheating

"Madam!" Mother Yang rushed to support him and saw that Gu Mian's face had turned red and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"What are you doing!" Li Tingshen got out of bed immediately, but pulled the wound and frowned in pain.

"I should be the one asking you this!" Li Hongxuan was furious. "Ting Shen, do you know what you are doing? She has hurt you like this, even if I beat her to death, it would be a light punishment!"

"Really?" Li Tingshen's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness, "Try to touch her again!"

"You still dare to protect her?" Li Hongxuan couldn't believe his eyes. "Ting Shen, when did you become so uncalm? You actually dared to rush out to protect a woman? How are you going to deal with this situation now!"

"What's going on?" Li Tingshen said coldly, "It's my body that was injured, why are you angry?"

"Your body? Doesn't your body belong to the Li family?" Li Hongxuan questioned, "Do you know how great the responsibility is as the heir of the Li family? If you don't pass on the family line, how can the Li family be passed on? Now, you will never be able to continue the next generation! And it's all for such an insignificant woman!"

Gu Mian sat on the ground in a daze, listening to Li Hongxuan's hurtful words, the feeling of humiliation sweeping over all her nerves.

She knew that Li Hongxuan had never looked at her, his daughter-in-law, in the eye. He had maintained superficial peace with her before, firstly for the sake of old lady Li, and secondly because she had been abiding by the rules in the Li family for the past few years and had done nothing wrong.

And now, Li Tingshen was hurt like this because of her, he would not tolerate it.

Gu Mian was in a daze when he suddenly heard Li Tingshen's voice in his ears.

"She is not an insignificant woman, she is my wife."

Gu Mian slowly raised his head and looked at Li Tingshen.

He sat on the hospital bed, his eyes facing Li Hongxuan in the air, his handsome face tense, and he spoke word by word, "I know that in Mr. Li's dictionary, let alone an ordinary woman, even a wife is just a tool for your marriage, and she doesn't even deserve your respect, but I am different from you."

"Okay, that's great..." Li Hongxuan smiled instead of getting angry, "So I, Li Hongxuan, actually gave birth to a love-sick person! Listen to me, since you were born into the Li family, you have your own mission when you were born! If you don't want to be the heir, I have plenty of backup candidates!"

"Of course." Li Tingshen sneered, "Boss Li has countless illegitimate children outside. It's not difficult to pick any one of them and train him as an heir."

"You..." Li Hongxuan was so angry that his face turned blue, "Okay, I'll do as you wish!"

Gu Mian saw Li Hongxuan leaving in a rage, and stood up to chase him, but was stopped by Li Tingshen, "Don't go!"

Gu Mian said anxiously, "Ting Shen, Dad was also angry and anxious because you were injured. He just scolded me a few times and let him vent his anger. Why did you have to argue with him like this?"

"You did nothing wrong. You don't need to be scolded." Li Tingshen turned his head and looked at her. "Come here."

Gu Mian walked over.

Li Tingshen looked at her slightly swollen face with cold eyes, "He really has the heart to do this!"

"I'm fine, don't be angry."

Mother Yang called a doctor and gave Gu Mian some medicine.

After the doctor left, Gu Mian spoke up, "Ting Shen, don't make things so awkward with Dad because of me."

"It has nothing to do with you. My relationship with him has never been good to begin with." Li Tingshen didn't care. "If it weren't for grandma maintaining peace in the Li family, this family would have broken up long ago."

Gu Mian hesitated for a moment and asked, "You just said that Dad has an illegitimate child outside. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true, and there are a lot of them. The oldest is older than me, and the youngest is only two or three years old. They are all born to different women."

Gu Mian was shocked. She had been married into the Li family for more than three years and had never known such things.

"So not only did he have a child with another woman before marriage, but he also cheated on her after marriage." Gu Mian was furious. "How could he hurt my mother like this?"

Li Ting sneered, "Their marriage is nothing but a joke."

Gu Mian seemed to understand something all of a sudden. Li Tingshen grew up in such a family that seemed to be harmonious but was actually at odds with each other, which did affect his views on marriage and love.

Li Tingshen saw her lowering her eyes and thought she was sad, so he raised his hand and stroked her face gently, "I will get back the slap I gave you today."

Gu Mian shook his head. "No matter what, he is your father. Grandma cares most about family harmony. Don't let me cause trouble for your family."

Li Tingshen's eyes gradually softened, "Gu Mian, thank you... It's just that this matter is not as simple as you think, and it's not something you can just let go of..."

......

Li Tingshen stayed in the hospital for a week and was discharged back to Yunyue Bay.

Gu Mian accidentally learned from Xuzhu that Li Hongxuan took advantage of Li Tingshen's hospitalization to gradually take back the real power.

Although Li Hongxuan has been in charge of overseas markets in recent years, he has taken over the Li Group for more than 20 years, so it is not difficult for him to take back the real power.

Gu Mian couldn't help but worry, but Li Tingshen was leisurely and comfortable every day.

At night, Gu Mian sat in front of the dressing table, applying skin care products while saying, "Ting Shen, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Ting responded, "Work hard."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "I will."

Gu Mian wiped his face and lay down on the bed.

Li Tingshen turned off the light, turned over and kissed her.

Gu Mian closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

After a while, Gu Mian felt that something was wrong with Li Ting.

His breathing became heavier, and his body temperature clearly reminded her that he wanted it.

"Stop making trouble." Gu Mian pushed him away at the right time, panting, "Otherwise it will be uncomfortable."

Li Tingshen's hand gently stroked her face, "Are you feeling uncomfortable, huh?"

Gu Mian naturally knew what he was referring to.

It would be a lie to say it wasn't painful.

In the past, she would have said those two words in a crying voice, and Li Tingshen would have stopped teasing her and satisfied her immediately.

But now, the word "want" is a fatal injury to him.

Gu Mian calmed his breathing and said softly, "Stop making trouble, I'm sleepy..."

Li Tingshen laughed softly, "Wife, it's normal to want it. You're not a nun."

Gu Mian's heart trembled.

This was the first time Li Tingshen called her "wife."

His voice was as deep and pleasant as a cello, and when he uttered these two words, it awakened her deepest soul.

Gu Mian has never felt so happy.

"Ting Shen..."

Li Ting curled his lips deeply, "Be good, I'm here..."
