Gu Yusheng looked especially peaceful in that moment. The way he looked at Qin Zhi’ai 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. “Why are you taking pills? Do you not feel good?”
Upon hearing Gu Yusheng’s questions, Qin Zhi’ai 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 couldn’t help lowering her head.
Wasn’t he sleeping? How could he have followed her downstairs? Had he seen her grabbing the pills?
“Why aren’t you talking?” Gu Yusheng asked again. He sounded gentle, so gentle that Qin Zhi’ai had never heard him like this before.
The more gently he acted, the more anxious and scared Qin Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai instinctively hid the pill bottle behind her back so that Gu Yusheng missed it. He frowned, but didn’t look very mad. He stubbornly reached his hand out even further, effectively pulling her closer to him by her wrist.
Qin Zhi’ai’s heart suddenly raced. Her hand gripped so hard on the pill bottle that the shape bottle had been bent.
Gu Yusheng hadn’t 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 Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai’s face.
Qin Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai 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, “What kind of medicine is this?”
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t dare to talk to him. She even held her breath.
Gu Yusheng turned the pill bottle so that the side that read “birth control pills” faced Qin Zhi’ai. He asked again in a low pitch, “What does it say?”
Qin Zhi’ai 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 Doukou’s sake. She was only Qin Zhi’ai. Of course she couldn’t 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.
