553 The Secret About the Past 171 (1/2)

”Medicine?” The pharmacy owner was getting a major headache. There was no way he could tell if anything was missing within such a short period of time since the supplies were fully stocked.

However, as soon as he caught sight of the five dollars on the cabinet, he suddenly recalled that there wasn't any money on the countertop when he switched off the lights.

After taking a look at the area below the cash, the owner exclaimed in shock, ”The two pregnancy test kits that were here earlier are now missing. Maybe the perpetrator came for this. He or she has left five dollars here too. Actually, the kits only cost a dollar each.”

”Are pregnancy test kits… used to verify if someone is pregnant?” Tuoba Gucheng asked.

”Yes.”

”How does it work?”

”Pregnancy test kits are urine tests. Two red lines on the indicator would mean positive while a single line would mean negative.”

”Oh, I see. Good that nothing's missing. But don't spread the word about this matter. The person probably did what they did because they're too embarrassed to buy the kit openly,” he said with a straight face.

”I know, thank you so much, Your Highness.”

”You're welcome. You may continue resting.” He then turned around to leave.

Tuoba Gucheng was filled with panic. Could it be that she was pregnant?

Otherwise, why would she have sneaked in to buy this?

The question ran through his mind constantly when he returned to his mansion.

Tuoba Gucheng endured his burning desire to resolve his qualms and waited until the next morning to visit his sister's place after breakfast.

Coincidentally, his sister and both her bodyguards had gone out, giving him the perfect chance to take action.

Tuoba Gucheng proceeded to An Xiaoning's room.

He headed straight to the bathroom and shifted his gaze to the rubbish bin.

This time, he made an exception and did something he had never once done in his life — rummaging through the trash!

As expected, he found two pregnancy test kits that were broken into halves. Tuoba Gucheng fumbled in astonishment when he inched forward to take a closer look.

Both the indicators showed two red, solid lines.

She was pregnant!

The child must be his!

Tuoba Gucheng did not doubt his belief, not a single bit at all!

The reason being, he had also heard that her boyfriend had passed away previously.

Besides, no ordinary man would want to get intimate with such an ugly girl like her so casually.

Well, he was indeed no ordinary man!

Tuoba Gucheng picked up the two broken kits and placed them inside his pocket.

After leaving her room, he kept staring at the test kits over and over again.

The urge to question her directly grew deeper within him the more he stared at the kits.

”Xiao Chi, go to Danxue's mansion and wait for Mu Ning to appear. Bring her to me immediately once you see her. Tell her that I'm looking for her urgently.”

”Yes, Your Highness.” Xiao Chi dared not probe further, although he did not know what Tuoba Gucheng wanted to see his Young Madam for.

Tuoba Gucheng placed the kits back inside his pocket and a grave expression formed on his face.

In this case, there was no way he could allow her to keep the child.

If his mother were to find out about this matter, the consequences would be dire and he would have no means to save her at all.

Tuoba Gucheng was rather infuriated. Why didn't she take the contraceptive pill as soon as possible when I told her to? If she could think of sneaking into the pharmacy to steal the pregnancy test kits, why couldn't she do the same for the contraceptive pills?

Did this woman have other plans in mind?

Was she thinking of making me marry her after giving birth to the child secretly?
