Chapter 98 Becoming a Mother

Li Tingshen was wearing a black suit with a windbreaker of the same color on the outside. He exuded a chilling murderous aura.

He stretched out his long legs and walked in step by step.

"Ting Shen, you came at the right time. Grandma was just about to call you."

Li Ting curled his lips deeply, but there was no smile on his face, only a piercing chill, "Grandma, you don't need to ask anymore, the facts are like this, and it will be the same if you continue to ask. It's not worth hurting your body for such a person's anger."

Gu Mian's heart trembled violently.

Madam Li thought for a moment and then looked at Gu Mian. "Mian girl, grandma is in charge of you here. If you have anything to explain or clarify, just tell Ting Shen in person."

Gu Mian sniffed and said, "Grandma, what I just said was what was in my heart. I'm sorry, I let you down..."

Li Ting sneered, "Grandma, did you hear that? Why would you expect anything from such a person?"

The old lady looked at them for a long time before nodding, "I understand, everyone go out, I need to rest... Aunt Zhang, you personally escort Mian to the car, don't let anyone embarrass her or bully her."

Gu Mian closed his eyes in pain, and his tears flowed even more violently.

......

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed and winter came to the imperial capital.

Gu Mian's life returned to normal and he focused on his work every day.

Mrs. Ji publicized the fact that Gu Mian saved her very well, and several wealthy ladies came to Gu Mian and signed her as their family doctor.

The workload of a sleep doctor has increased significantly. In addition to seeing patients every day, he also has to visit patients at their homes to take pulses at agreed times.

She likes this kind of busyness, which not only enriches her but also improves her medical skills.

More importantly, once she was busy, she wouldn't have to think about Li Tingshen.

They never met again, and even that day at Li's house, he didn't even look at Gu Mian.

In the evening, Pei Jianchuan came to the Chinese medicine hall.

As soon as he entered the room, Pei Jinchuan frowned, "There's no heating here?"

Gu Mian turned on the air conditioner to keep warm. "Well, it's a converted warehouse, so there's no heating."

"It's uninhabitable here. You'll catch a cold easily. You're afraid of cold anyway."

"I'm already looking for a house, but I may not be able to find one in a short time." Gu Mian poured him a glass of water, "Drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

"Thank you."

Gu Mian sat down on the sofa. "You said you had something private to tell me alone. What is it?"

"I heard you were divorced?"

Gu Mian did not deny it. "It seems that this matter has been known to everyone."

"I also accidentally heard from my subordinates that Yin Luoxue was preparing for a wedding, so I asked her and found out that the person she was going to marry was Li Tingshen."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Yes, I am divorced. In ten days or so, I can go and get the divorce certificate."

"Why?" Pei Jianchuan looked at her, "Gu Mian, you clearly love him, so much so that you don't care about his physical condition."

"Everyone will weigh the pros and cons, and I am no exception." Gu Mian said calmly, "I just weighed the pros and cons and chose a path that is more beneficial to me."

Pei Jianchuan sighed, "No matter what, I support your decision."

"Thank you." Gu Mian changed the subject, "How is Xiaobao doing recently?"

"It's fine. He can accept the two new nannies. He's been in a much more stable mood recently."

"That's good."

"You just got off work and haven't eaten yet, let's go out for dinner." Pei Jianchuan suggested.

Gu Mian was about to decline, but he interrupted her, "To be exact, you should have been the one to treat me to a meal. Last time you had a fever, I was the one who took you to the hospital."

Gu Mian had no reason to refuse, "Yes, I should treat you to a meal to thank you, then let's go."

......

Pei Jianchuan brought Gu Mian to a Western restaurant.

Gu Mian remembered hearing Li Xingze mention this place, saying it was one of the best high-end Western restaurants in the capital, and that reservations had to be made half a month in advance.

But when Pei Jianchuan arrived, he was taken directly to the window with the best view, which showed that it had been reserved long ago.

Gu Mian did not expose him.

Pei Jinchuan ordered a bottle of red wine and asked Gu Mian, "Would you like some?"

"I have to practice acupuncture when I get home, so I won't drink it anymore."

Pei Jianchuan poured her a glass of wine and said, "Relax once in a while to get twice the result with half the effort. Take a rest today, just treat me to a good meal."

Gu Mian could only agree, "Okay."

She picked up the goblet and said, "Mr. Pei, I toast to you. Thank you for sending me to the hospital that night."

Pei Jianchuan clinked glasses with her, took a sip of red wine, and said, "Since you want to thank me, I have a request. Can you agree to it?"

"You say."

"Don't call me Mr. Pei from now on. Call me by my name."

Gu Mian frowned, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"Why not?" Pei Jianchuan asked back, "We are friends, it's normal to call each other by our names. You see, I don't call you Miss Gu all the time."

Gu Mian said, "You are my employer. I think calling you Mr. Pei shows more respect for you."

"That makes sense, but I hope you will listen to me because I have helped you."

Gu Mian didn't say anything.

She could sense that although Pei Jianchuan appeared gentle and polite on the surface, he was actually a very strong person at heart.

"Okay, if you have anything else you want me to do, just tell me."

Gu Mian didn't want her to have to obey him in everything in the future just because he helped her that night.

"No more." Pei Jianchuan raised his glass, "I wish you a smooth journey ahead and a better life."

"Thank you."

"Gu Mian, you come here to eat too."

A familiar voice came to my ears, and Gu Mian suddenly lost his appetite.

Yin Luoxue quickly maneuvered the wheelchair over, "Candlelight dinner, how romantic. Gu Mian, I'm so happy that you found a new home so quickly."

Gu Mian didn't even look at her and said coldly, "If you've made enough noise, you can leave."

Yin Luoxue laughed and said, "What kind of character do you have? Do you have any manners?"

"My courtesy is to people."

Yin Luoxue's expression changed, "Are you saying that I'm not a human?"

"It seems that your reading comprehension is not bad." Gu Mian took a sip of red wine, "Can we go now?"

Yin Luoxue was about to lose her temper when she suddenly saw a figure walking towards her in the reflection of the glass. She immediately raised the corners of her lips and said, "Gu Mian, you really like children. No wonder you turned around and found Mr. Pei after your divorce..."

"That's right. Xiaobao is so good-looking. It shows how good Mr. Pei's genes are. The child you and Mr. Pei have must be very good-looking too."

Gu Mian was in no mood to clarify the relationship between her and Pei Jianchuan with this kind of person. "Is it your turn to meddle in my affairs?"

"So what I said is true?" Yin Luoxue said with a smile, "That's great, congratulations on your success, I believe you will soon be able to fulfill your wish of becoming a mother."

Gu Mian couldn't bear it any longer and was about to retort when she suddenly saw Li Tingshen standing a few meters away, staring at her intently.
