Chapter 73 Contraceptive Pills
Lin Wei sank deep into the large office chair.
Still shaken.
My heart was pounding, and my palms were sticky with sweat.
She closed her eyes, trying to banish the images from her mind.
But the image is actually clearer.
The man's passionate kiss.
It was as if they wanted to crush and devour her...
A strange feeling lingered in her heart.
So this is what it feels like to be cared for by a man?
In her previous life, all her humility and attempts to please were solely focused on Gu Xuan.
She carefully remembered all his preferences.
She could wait for an hour downstairs at his company just to deliver a snack he had casually mentioned.
She stayed up all night taking care of him after he got drunk, only to be met with his disgust and indifference.
She offered up her whole heart.
But I have never seen the same possessiveness in Gu Xuan as I have in Gu Jingcheng.
In their three years of dating, Gu Xuan had never even held her hand.
He seemed extremely impatient with her approach.
Gu Xuan said it himself the night he was stabbed to death.
He felt disgusted every day he spent with her!
At that time, her heart felt as if it had been torn in half, crushed, and trampled into the mud.
In this life, being with Gu Jingcheng gave her experiences she had never had before.
The unfamiliarity was something she found addictive.
Lin Wei's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously brought her legs together.
A sudden feeling of heaviness or pressure came from my lower abdomen.
She suddenly remembered the time she was with Gu Jingcheng.
No contraception!
Both times, there was absolutely no protection!
Lin Wei knew that she could not get pregnant now.
She grabbed the car keys and handbag from the table and hurriedly went to the basement.
I plan to go to the pharmacy to buy birth control pills.
I can't buy it near the company; it would be embarrassing if an employee bumped into me.
Lin Wei navigated to a somewhat deserted street, stepped on the brakes,
I parked the car in front of a chain pharmacy.
She pushed open the car door and instinctively took a white baseball cap from the car and put it on.
The face, no bigger than a palm, was completely covered by a mask, with only the two eyes showing.
There was only one young female clerk in the pharmacy, idly scrolling through her phone.
Lin Wei steeled herself and walked to the counter.
"Please...please give me..."
Lin Wei swallowed, feeling as if a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat.
"That... emergency contraceptive pill."
The female shop assistant put down her phone with an expression of complete indifference.
Seeing that the woman was wrapped up tightly, he considerately didn't give her a second glance.
He simply turned around and took a white medicine box from the shelf behind him.
Is this it?
"This brand works well and has relatively few side effects."
Just follow the instructions.
The shop assistant spoke as she skillfully scanned the QR code.
36. WeChat or Alipay?
Lin Wei pulled her hat down even lower.
He pulled a few bills out of his wallet and slipped them over.
"Thanks"
She grabbed the medicine box and quickly stuffed it into her bag.
Seeing her like this, the shop assistant couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
The girl looked to be in her early twenties, very young and inexperienced.
She had seen many people in this state of panic, coming alone to buy "regret pills."
The shop assistant gently placed the change on the counter, his gaze sweeping over Lin Wei's lowered hat brim.
The voice unconsciously softened a bit.
"Here's the medicine."
"It's okay to be in an emergency once. But next time... protecting yourself is the most important thing."
This medicine shouldn't be used frequently.
Lin Wei's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.
"Thanks."
Then, they fled in a panic.
Lin Wei sat down in the car and then took the rectangular medicine box out of her bag.
The sound of the aluminum foil being torn open was somewhat jarring in the carriage.
The pills were small, white, and gleamed slightly in the dim light.
She put the white pill in her mouth, tilted her head back, and swallowed it with the cold mineral water!
"slight?"
The window of the pink Bentley was knocked.
Her heart skipped a beat. She had driven all this way, how could she possibly run into someone she knew?
Lin Wei hurriedly stuffed the box back into her bag.
Fortunately! The car windows were tinted with one-way vision film, so people outside couldn't see anything inside the car.
"Weiwei, is that you?"
The sound from outside the window carried a hint of uncertainty, and then it knocked twice more lightly.
Lin Wei opened the car door and got out.
Shi Yanzhou?
He was wearing a light blue T-shirt and black mid-length shorts today.
She looked fresh and clean.
Lin Wei forced a faint smile.
"Brother Yanzhou, what a coincidence?"
"It really is you! I saw the license plate was yours and thought I was seeing things. What are you doing here?"
Lin Wei felt a little guilty and didn't know how to explain.
My brain is working at lightning speed.
"I……"
"I came here to meet a client, and I just saw him off. The client's company is in a rather remote area."
"I see."
Shi Yanzhou looked Lin Wei up and down, his brows furrowing slightly.
The woman in front of me had become even thinner, and her small, palm-sized face looked slightly haggard.
The dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible.
My heart involuntarily clenched.
"Weiwei, you look thinner than I have in a few days. You don't look too good either."
"Is it about your uncle? Weiwei, don't put too much pressure on yourself, your health is important."
"I know, Brother Yanzhou, what are you doing here?"
Shi Yanzhou clenched his fist.
It felt a little unnatural.
"I...I'm on vacation today, just taking a walk."
He then squeezed the marriage charm he had obtained in his hand again.
Just a few hours earlier, he overheard several nurses having a quiet, excited discussion in the hospital corridor.
"I heard that Jinshan Temple is incredibly effective for praying for marriage!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Especially that red string, it's been blessed by a master, giving it to your sweetheart will bring you good luck!"
"Really? I really want to try it..."
He drove to Jinshan Temple as if possessed.
Standing before the incense-filled hall, looking at the two thin red strings in his hands, he found it all absurd.
But the thought... he still prayed devoutly.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to give it to Lin Wei, but he didn't expect to run into her as soon as he came down the mountain.
Jinshan Temple...it really is very effective...
"Weiwei, um... the master at Jinshan Temple gave me two red strings."
It's perfect for hanging on your car; it'll keep you safe.
As he spoke, Shi Yanzhou hung the red rope below the rearview mirror of her pink Bentley.
Fingers moved swiftly, weaving a not-so-simple red knot; in the center of the red string...
He wore a gold heart-shaped dress that he had specially chosen.
It shimmered with a subtle light in the sunlight.
Lin Wei paused for a moment, then immediately recognized that the heart-shaped object was made of pure gold.
To refuse outright.
"Brother Yanzhou, this is too much of a waste."
The man, however, was focused on the heart on the red knot, his smile as gentle and refined as jade.
“Weiwei, it matches the color of your car very well.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at her with bright eyes.
His eyes were filled with cautious anticipation.
Lin Wei's heart tightened.
She and Shi Yanzhou grew up together.
When they were little, she and Shi Nuan were always Shi Yanzhou's little shadows.
Following behind him, they kept calling him "brother" repeatedly.
She felt the same way about him as she would towards a family member.
But there was absolutely no romantic relationship between them.
But when she saw the expectation in his eyes, Lin Wei still felt a pang of guilt.
It's as if I did something wrong.
She couldn't give him any expectations; what he wanted, she couldn't provide.
"Brother Yanzhou, actually..."
The ringing of her phone interrupted Lin Wei's words. She looked down at her phone screen, which displayed Gu Jingcheng's number.
Lin Wei felt a little guilty and deliberately kept a distance from Shi Yanzhou.
He then pressed the answer button.
