On the way back, Tang Yuchen’s expression was still gloomy. An Ruo leaned against the car door, looking out the window, silent.
Spotting a convenience store along the road, she hurriedly said, "Stop here for a moment, I want to buy something."
The driver, knowing she was the Young Lady, subconsciously stopped the car upon her request.
Tang Yuchen frowned impatiently, "What do you want to buy? We have everything at home; whatever you need, the servant will buy it for you."
An Ruo’s eyes flickered as she said, "I want to buy it myself."
The man looked at her suspiciously, "What exactly do you want to buy?"
Tang Yuchen glanced at her, his tone still cold, "We have them at home; if you run out, find a servant..."
"With this kind of thing, I want to buy it myself, I don’t want others to buy it for me. Besides, I’m not comfortable with some brands. I’m just going to go down and buy some, and if you’re not at ease, you can come with me," An Ruo interrupted him.
Tang Yuchen thought women were troublesome, but there was no way he was going to accompany her to buy such things.
Accompanying a woman to buy such things was truly embarrassing.
"If you’re going, then hurry up." He had no choice but to compromise, and An Ruo, delighted, hurriedly pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The man’s voice suddenly rang out again, "Remember, don’t try any tricks on me."
An Ruo ignored his words and walked toward the convenience store.
She bought several packs of sanitary pads, as well as a box of pregnancy tests, and even asked the clerk for instructions on how to use the pregnancy tests and how to confirm a pregnancy, among other knowledge.
Then, she crumpled the receipt into a ball and threw it in the trash can. She tore open the box of pregnancy tests, pocketed only two strips close to her body inside her pants pocket, and discarded the rest before walking back to the car.
Once in the car, Tang Yuchen indeed took the shopping bag to look through what she bought. Seeing that it was only sanitary pads, his gaze fell upon her and he also patted down her pockets.
After confirming that she did not have anything else on her, he ordered the driver to take them home.
An Ruo let out a sigh of relief in her heart, she just knew he wouldn’t trust her. Thankfully, she had made thorough preparations, and, fortunately, the two strips were so close to her body in her pocket that they were undetectable.
Back at the villa, An Ruo couldn’t wait to go upstairs, close the door, lock it, and then hide the pregnancy tests.
The clerk had said that the best time to test was in the morning, for more accurate results.
She only had two test strips and didn’t want to waste them, so she would have to wait until the next morning to test.
An Ruo spent that day guessing and feeling anxious, uncertain about what the test results would be the next day.
That night, Tang Yuchen naturally sought her affections. Worried that she really was pregnant and that frequent intimacy could be bad for her health, An Ruo lied to him, claiming she was on her period.
As she had bought sanitary pads that day, Tang Yuchen believed her.
However, he still slept next to her, still holding her as they slept. He discovered that holding her while sleeping allowed him to sleep exceptionally well, waking up feeling refreshed the next day.
That night, Tang Yuchen slept soundly, while An Ruo lay awake for a long time before finally falling asleep.
The next morning, An Ruo, with her concerns in mind, woke up very early. But when she opened her eyes, she found that Tang Yuchen was still in bed and hadn’t left.
The man sat beside her, and seeing that she was awake, he took her hand and placed the blue diamond bracelet on her wrist.
