Chapter 209: Shen Liangchuan, Do You Like Me? (9)

Auntie Li was put in a rather difficult spot after she said that. Her gaze followed Qiao Lian's and fell on the man in the dining room.

Shen Liangchuan was elegantly eating his breakfast at the table. When he heard Qiao Lian's question, he turned his head.

His gaze remained impenetrable, but his brows were slightly raised.

That look caused Qiao Lian's heart to sink.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still said, ”No.”

No…

Qiao Lian's heart sank to a bottomless pit all of a sudden along with those words.

Her gaze turned dull as she looked down. She found herself really ridiculous.

After hearing their conversation yesterday, she had actually still held onto some hope—hope of this man having some feelings for her, at least at that moment.

However, reality gave her a sharp slap.

She loosened and clenched her fists, loosened and clenched them again. At last, her dark eyes narrowed as she turned to look at the glass of milk in the caretaker's hands.

A gloomy glint flashed across her eyes.

Without uttering anything else, she picked up the glass of milk and downed it, as though she was taking an alcohol shot.

After she finished drinking the milk, she said, ”I'm full. I'll go upstairs to get ready for work.”

Downstairs, the caretaker made sure to see that Qiao Lian had entered the bedroom before looking at the milk and heaving a deep sigh. ”Sir, although this medicine has almost no side-effects on the body, it would still not be good if Madam found out in the future.”

Mr. Shen had specially chosen and acquired the birth control pills he put in the milk.

They were traditional chinese medicine (TCM), frequently used among several high-ranking officials and noble families in the ancient times. After generations of research by TCM practitioners, it was found that they had almost no side-effects on the body.

Of course, the efficacy of the medicine was weak, so its probability of preventing pregnancy was only 70%.
