Chapter 419: Xiao Qiao Shows Her Stuff (20)
Qiao Lian laughed aloud bitterly, but in her heart she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Her marriage to Shen Liangchuan had been a signed agreement. She had initially thought that her job was just to bear his child.
But who would have thought that so much would happen.
Furthermore, now that Shen Liangchuan had finally come to love her, she realized that she didn’t feel as elated as she thought she would. On the contrary, there was a certain bitterness in her heart.
Because of the damage to her physical health, even if they wanted a child within the next six months, the chances were low.
She cast her gaze downward and sighed yet again.
Just how cold of a person was Shen Liangchuan? When he used to make her take the birth control pill, did he not think that one day he would really fall in love with her?
As she was contemplating this, she suddenly felt his hands around her wrists.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her with a deep frown on his face. “The birth control pill that I gave you was an imperial secret formula birth prevention pill. It wasn’t an extremely effective formula, but it was not supposed to cause you any harm.”
Qiao Lian was stunned when she heard this and looked up immediately. She said in a startled tone, “What?”
Previously, she had been angry at him and not because he didn’t want any children.
What man would be willing to have a child with a woman who was a complete stranger?
What she had been angry at was his lack of care towards her health and well-being.
She felt as though she had only been a tool, purchased with money, and she did not feel the least bit of respect.
But now he was saying that the birth control medicine was not supposed to harm her?
She suddenly recalled the time they had a fight, and he mentioned that he had never intended to cause her any harm.
At that time, she had felt those words were a real joke, but now she realized the true meaning behind them.
So Shen Liangchuan had never really had the intention of hurting her.
If this matter had not been brought to light today, she would have still been carrying that knot in her heart, even if that was the past and water under the bridge.
But now…
Qiao Lian felt completely relieved of this burden, lying on her heart like a huge rock.
As she let out a deep breath, she saw Shen Liangchuan staring at her. “What did you say was wrong with your health?”
Qiao Lian spoke in a hurt tone, “My physical examination report indicated that I had had an overdose. Where on earth did you get this secret formula from? Now it’s harmed the both of us. The doctor said that if I had continued for another month, I could have ended up permanently infertile.”
Right now, she didn’t care much beyond these basic facts.
However upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan felt something was amiss. “Before you were given the drug, I had it tested by specialist companies. I made sure that it wasn’t going to harm your health in any way. This-”
He paused for a moment.
If there was nothing wrong with the drug, then…
“But they wouldn’t have lied in my medical examination report.”
Her company’s health check didn’t take place at a set appointment, the possibility of error wasn’t high.
A chill ran down her spine.
It felt as though a huge and invisible net was closing and tightening around her and it made her shudder in fear.
Shen Liangchuan stood up immediately and put his shirt back on.
Uncertain of the situation, she asked, “Where are you going?”
Shen Liangchuan looked at her and said, “I’m getting someone to investigate this matter.”
After Shen Liangchuan had left, Qiao Lian stood alone in the bedroom. Her expression was complex.
If there wasn’t anything wrong with the drug, what had gone wrong then?
She pursed her lips tightly and walked out of the bedroom.
Xia Yehua had foregone her afternoon nap and sat in the living room watching TV. Qiao Lian made her way downstairs and walked up next to her.
