Chapter 497: Chapter 497: It was all a lie. He didn’t want to give it up because of love

It took her a while to swallow the pill without water.

Qn Shu threw the medicine box into the bin after taking the pill.

When Qin Shu was far away, Shi Yan walked over and looked at the trash can. The binw as already emptied by the cleaner this morning. The disposable bag in the trash can was also new. So the bin was relatively clean.

Shi Yan glanced at Qin Shu who had already walked far away and looked at the trash can again. After thinking for a while, he bent down and reached his hand into the trash can. There was nothing inside but a cardboard box. When he took it out. It was the medicine box Qin Shu threw just now.

He glanced at the words on the cardboard box and frowned.

At this moment, his phone rang. He held the cardboard box in one hand and reached into his pocket with the other. It was Lord Fu.

He hesitated and answered the call.

“Where did she go?” The man was already dressed neatly. He stood at the entrance of the apartment intending to go out.

“Lord Fu, Madam Fu... went to the school’s Infirmary.”

“She’s ill?” The man’s expression tensed up when he heard that. He also blamed himself. How could he not see that she was sick?

“... She’s not ill.”

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. “Has she come back yet?”

“Madam Fu is already on her way back. Lord Fu, Madam Fu is...” Shi Yan looked down at the cardboard box in his hand, unable to speak.

It was obvious that Qin Shu did not want Lord Fu’s child by taking birth control pills. To Lord Fu, this was not only deceit, it will also hurt.

If he did not tell him, it was tantamount to lying to Lord Fu. Fourth Master had never known that Qin Shu had been lying to him.

How could he tell him?

Hearing Shi Yan stutter, Fu Tingyu frowned. “What’s wrong with her?”

“Lord Fu, Madam Fu went to the school infirmary to buy...” Shi Yan pursed his lips. “Birth control pills.”

Fu Tingyu suddenly tightened his grip on his phone. He couldn’t believe his ears. “Say it again. What pills did she buy?”

Shi Yan spat out three words with difficulty. “Birth control pills.”

...

When Qin Shu returned to the apartment, she saw the man standing at the entrance of the apartment as if he was waiting for her.

She walked over and stood in front of the man. She raised her head to look at him. Perhaps it was because of Han Xiao’s punch, but his expression didn’t look good.

“When did you wake up? Are You Hungry? Let’s Go Eat...”

Before Qin Shu could finish her sentence, the man interrupted her. “Where did you go?”

Qin Shu paused. “I went to the infirmary.”

“Did you go to buy medicine?”The man continued to ask. His expression was unreadable. It seems like he was just asking a very simple question.

However, it did not sound like that to Qin Shu. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty and thought that the man knew that the medicine she bought at the school’s Infirmary was birth control pills.

“Why aren’t you anwering?” It was apparent that his voice sounded colder this time round.

Qin Shu stunted for a while before replying. “I was planning to buy medicine. I only found out after, that school’s infirmary didn’t carry the medicine I wanted. So I didn’t buy them.”

“There aren’t even birth control pills in the school’s infirmary?”

The man’s voice turned completely cold, as did the surrounding air.

Qin Shu was shocked. How did he know that she wanted birth control pills?

Her heart began to panic.

“Brother, sister-in-law, it’s time for breakfast.”

Fu Tingyan saw his brother standing at the entrance of the apartment with Qin Shu. He thought that they were having a private conversation. After shouting, he walked into the dining room.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fu Tingyu took a few steps forward and closed the distance between them. He had been looking forward to the arrival of their child when she said that she is willing to have his child. In the end, it was all a lie.

Perhaps everything was a lie from the start.

“Since you want to lie to me, why don’t you lie to me more thoroughly? Can’t you hide it from me that you didn’t want my child and is taking birth control pills? I’d rather suspect that i’m having issues than know that you’re taking birth control pills just to not have my child.”

The man’s voice was cold, and the corners of his lips curled up with a self-deprecating smile.

“I’ve been looking forward to the arrival of our child. I’ve been looking forward to grooming him to take over my position. This way, I’ll have plenty of time to accompany you. I’ll accompany you wherever you go. No longer will there be a need for us to be seperated. You will be able to do whatever you liked.”

“It’s all just a joke to you isn’t it. Only I am immersed in working towards that goal.”

The man laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at himself. His laughter was bitter and self-deprecating.

It was the first time Qin Shu saw such an expression on the man’s face. Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe. She stretched out her arms and hugged the man tightly.

“It’s not like that. I really do want a child. I took the birth control pills for a reason. Don’t think too much about it. I didn’t lie to you. I really didn’t lie about what I promised. There will be a child. We will definitely have a child.”

Fu Tingyu looked down at the girl who was hugging him. She said it with deep affection. How could he not take it seriously?

No matter how true it sounded, it was still a lie.

“Babe, do you think I will still believe what you said?” He chuckled. “Of course there will be a child. You wouldn’t be able to escape unless you have the ability to take the pills right under my nose.”

Qin Shu was in a daze and didn’t quite understand the meaning of the man’s words.

“Babe, you are mine. Don’t think of leaving, unless I die.”

Hearing the last sentence, Qin Shu’s heart suddenly hurt. The man’s pale face, the cold touch, and the appearance of losing his heartbeat involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Her limbs turned cold just thinking of that.

“Don’t say the word ‘die’. I don’t allow you to say this word. I have never thought of leaving you. I have really never thought of it.” Her voice became hoarse, as if there was a thorn stuck in it. Even breathing hurts.

“Even if I die, I don’t want to let you go.” The man’s eyes were filled with dark paranoia.

The man pried her hands away. He took a few steps forward but stopped suddenly.

At this time, the sun had already risen. The bright, beautiful sunlight shone down on the man’s body. Even the warm sunlight could not soften him.

“But I can’t bear to bring you into the darkness.”

The man stood against the light and narrowed his eyes. Who knew what the hell it would be like in the underworld? How could he bear to let her go with him.

Qin Shu looked at the man’s tall and straight back and thought of what the man in her previous life had said. Even if he knew that he could not live, he will persevere and hang on; and yet, he coud not bear to bring her along with him.

Her heart aches everytime she is reminded of that incident.

She didn’t want to think about that scene, and she didn’t want to recall it either. It was because she was afraid. She was really afraid.

He retracted his gaze and walked away.

Shi Yan had been waiting not far away. The car door was already open. He watched as Lord Fu walked over with even steps and got into the car. Only then, did he close the car door, got into the driver’s seat, and drove away.
