Gu Yusheng looked especially peaceful in that moment. The way he looked at Qin Zhiâai was nothing more than usual, but he looked even more gentle.
He quietly watched her for a while before he slowly walked into the dining room to join her. He stopped when he was a couple of feet away from her.
He spoke to her without any emotion, like he was just chatting. He looked nice. âWhy are you taking pills? Do you not feel good?â
Upon hearing Gu Yushengâs questions, Qin Zhiâai was forced to recover from the shock she had received after she had noticed Gu Yusheng standing there.
She grew quiet when she saw him looking so mild. She couldnât help lowering her head.
Wasnât he sleeping? How could he have followed her downstairs? Had he seen her grabbing the pills?
âWhy arenât you talking?â Gu Yusheng asked again. He sounded gentle, so gentle that Qin Zhiâai had never heard him like this before.
The more gently he acted, the more anxious and scared Qin Zhiâai became. She subconsciously gripped the pill bottle even harder.
The subtle movement of her hand immediately captured his attention. He laid his eyes on her hand and casually walked forward to reached his hand out toward the pill bottle.
Qin Zhiâai instinctively hid the pill bottle behind her back so that Gu Yusheng missed it. He frowned, but didnât look very mad. He stubbornly reached his hand out even further, effectively pulling her closer to him by her wrist.
Qin Zhiâaiâs heart suddenly raced. Her hand gripped so hard on the pill bottle that the shape bottle had been bent.
Gu Yusheng hadnât given up yet. He still looked relaxed, but he put more force into his hand. He was so strong that he used his fingers to slowly pry the pill bottle out of her hand.
As he looked down to see the words on the pill bottle, Qin Zhiâai felt like her heart had suddenly stopped working.
Gu Yusheng still had the same look on his face. He stared at the few simple words on the bottle without any reaction.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. It felt like only a few minutes had passed by, but it also felt like it had been as long as a lifetime. Gu Yusheng slowly moved his eyes away from the pill bottle and back up to Qin Zhiâaiâs face.
Qin Zhiâai thought Gu Yusheng would be mad, so she closed her eyes by instinct. After a long time, since the dining room was still quiet, Qin Zhiâai opened her eyes. She saw Gu Yusheng raise the bottle of pills in front of her. She was scared, and her heart seemed to tremble at the action. When she was about to move a step back, Gu Yusheng said in a gentle and calming voice, âWhat kind of medicine is this?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Zhiâai didnât dare to talk to him. She even held her breath.
Gu Yusheng turned the pill bottle so that the side that read âbirth control pillsâ faced Qin Zhiâai. He asked again in a low pitch, âWhat does it say?â
Qin Zhiâai lowered her head even more.
She had tossed her leftover pills in the toilet on the day he had asked her not to take birth control pills, and she had agreed not to take any more birth control pills. She had also agreed to have a baby with him. However, she had merely agreed for Liang Doukouâs sake. She was only Qin Zhiâai. Of course she couldnât promise him these things. She had secretly bought a new bottle of birth control pills on the same day that the old bottle of pills had been destroyed.
