“Are you shy? ” After teasing her for a while, he finally stopped talking after realizing that she was ignoring him. However, his gaze never left her face.

“You’re not driving? ”

Seeing that he was sitting in the back, Gu Ruochu did not know what he meant.

After struggling for a while, she realized that she could not get down. She lifted her leg and kicked his calf, “If you don’t want to leave, then let me down. I’ll take a taxi back myself. ”

“What’s the rush? ”

His voice was mute as he stared at her, thinking about something.

Soon, someone got into the driver’s seat. It turned out that he had called the driver over.

“Let’s go to the plum villa. ”

The Plum Villa was Gu Zexi’s villa.

Gu Ruochu spoke first, but Huo Nanchen was not in a hurry to retort. The driver looked at Huo Nanchen’s reaction from the rearview mirror before starting the engine.

The entire journey was silent. Gu Ruochu had no intention of paying attention to him, but Huo Nanchen did not seem to notice the awkward atmosphere. Instead, he kept teasing her.

The drivers felt a little awkward for Huo Nanchen, but they could only keep their eyes on him.

Halfway through the journey, Gu Ruochu suddenly remembered something, “chauffeur, please stop the car. ”

Upon hearing the word ‘troublesome’ , the chauffeur’s hand, which had been gripping the steering wheel, trembled and the car came to a steady halt.

“Put me down. ”

Huo Nanchen looked out of the window and his gaze fell on her calmly, “why did you ask someone to stop the car halfway? ”

Gu Ruochu moved and reached out to take off her coat.

“where are you going? ”

“Let me go. ”

“Are you going to buy birth control pills? ” A cold laugh rang in his ears. He moved closer, “you don’t need to take any pills. Today is your safe period. ”

“Don’t you have a doctor friend? Don’t you know that a woman’s safe period isn’t of much use? ” Gu Ruochu rolled her eyes at him, “when the time comes, will you be in charge of getting pregnant? ”

“Do you have the ability to get me pregnant? ”

How could he not know? He just wanted to try his luck.

Seeing that she was about to get out of the car, he finally said, “sit here, I’ll go buy you one. ”

“I don’t believe that you’ll buy one for me. ”

Huo Nanchen’s initially calm expression changed. He glared at her in anger and amusement, “are you afraid that I’ll swap your pills? ”

Gu Ruochu could not be bothered to argue with him. She got out of the car and closed the door before walking towards the nearby pharmacy.

The sound of the car door closing suddenly came from behind her. Gu Ruochu ignored him and walked straight into the pharmacy. The medical staff in the pharmacy looked at the people who had entered one after another in astonishment.

“Miss, May I help you? ”

“I need emergency contraception. ”

The medical staff’s gaze fell on the handsome man behind her. He still had the same features but there was a hint of gloom and coldness in his eyes.

“Alright, please wait a moment. ”

Gu Ruochu asked the medical staff for a glass of water as soon as the medicine was served.

She gulped down a large glass of water.

“Are you satisfied now? ”

Huo Nanchen looked at her and the corners of his lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. He also felt a little lonely. Gu Ruochu put down the glass of water and thanked the medical staff before she turned around and left.

She did not see Huo Nanchen and the medical staff exchanging glances as soon as she turned around. She did not notice anything amiss either.

The medical staff’s heart pounded violently the moment a stack of banknotes was stuffed into his hands.

When the two of them left, the people who had been watching from the side came forward and began to discuss the couple. “What’s going on? Why did that handsome man give you the money? ”

Seeing the thick stack of banknotes, their eyes were wide open.

“What could have happened? He just wanted me to change the girl’s birth control pills. ”
