Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused slightly, but she didn't care that the housekeeper had misunderstood her meaning. Instead, a hint of excitement appeared on her face.
Auntie is right!
As long as she tries, she will eventually be able to persuade Wen Huaiyan!
She endured so much hardship in her past life, so what can't she do in this one?
But then another thought struck her, and she looked down at her lower abdomen, frowning slightly.
Wen Huaiyan took her so many times last night, and now he hasn't given her any birth control pills, will she...?
Thinking of this, Li Ruo quickly and silently calculated her menstrual cycle and found that this period was exactly during her ovulation period, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
She murmured something to herself and then began to pray silently.
Please don't be so unlucky!
After all, she genuinely wanted to leave Wen Huaiyan, not to engage in some melodramatic plot involving a pregnant woman running away.
Seeing Li Ruo standing there in a daze, changing her expression more than a dozen times in five seconds, the housekeeper couldn't help but worry: "Miss Li, are you alright?"
She simply told the other person that there was no birth control pill in today's milk; there's no need for such a strong reaction, is there?
Startled from her thoughts by her voice, Li Ruo quickly pretended to be nonchalant and waved her hand, saying, "I'm fine."
But the housekeeper was somewhat skeptical. She carefully observed Li Ruo's expression, and an unbelievable guess arose in her mind: "Miss Li, do you not want to get pregnant?"
It wasn't that she was perceptive; it was just that Li Ruo's behavior during this period didn't seem like she cared about Wen Huaiyan.
In the past, she would have been pleased with Li Ruo's clarity of mind, after all, Wen Huaiyan was no ordinary person.
Over the years, she has witnessed countless women who wanted to rise above their station and marry into wealthy families, but all of them met with extremely tragic ends.
If Li Ruo can stay true to her original aspirations, that would be wonderful!
But things are different now, and Wen Huaiyan seems to be showing signs of being interested...
And he has never failed to get what he wants...
Noticing her aunt's strange look, Li Ruo was startled and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Where is he now?"
Whether she wants to get pregnant or not is her own private matter, and there's no need to explain it to others.
But right now, reminding Wen Huaiyan not to forget to take her out is the more important thing.
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper did not pursue the previous topic further, but respectfully said, "Mr. Wen is currently working in his study upstairs. He said that if you wake up, you should come down for a meal first."
As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Li Ruo up.
You see, the commotion last night was so loud that even she, downstairs, could hear it all clearly, so she naturally knew that Li Ruo's condition was probably not very good at the moment.
However, as soon as she reached out her hand, Li Ruo refused it with a smile.
"No need, Auntie, I can do it myself."
Seeing this, the housekeeper did not insist; she only wanted to do things according to Li Ruo's wishes.
After Li Ruo put on her shoes, the housekeeper said, "Let's go downstairs then. I'll go get you breakfast."
But she had just taken a step when Li Ruo called out to her.
The girl shook her head and said softly, "Auntie, there's no need to prepare anything. Please take me to the study first."
"study?"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper frowned subconsciously, then said with some difficulty in a soft voice, "Mr. Wen has never liked to be disturbed while working. I think Miss Li should not go, lest she anger Mr. Wen again."
The relationship between the two had finally begun to improve, and she didn't want to see them tormented by a cold war again.
Knowing that the housekeeper meant well, Li Ruo smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I'm doing and won't make him angry again."
"this……"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper hesitated slightly.
Although she knew that Li Ruo held a different place in Wen Huaiyan's heart, the other party's temper was always hard to fathom. If their relationship were to revert to its previous state because of such a small matter, wouldn't that be a loss?
However, Li Ruo was determined, especially the matter of birth control pills, which made her even more terrified.
At this moment, all she wanted was to leave as soon as possible, so she spoke again: "Auntie, please believe me. Since I've already decided to give in to him, how could I possibly anger him again? I just want to spend more time with him. You know, yesterday's meal alone isn't enough to completely appease him."
Her expression was earnest, and as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but reveal a pitiful look.
"I want to try harder, at least to let him see my feelings."
Now, even if the housekeeper had many difficulties, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
She pursed her lips, and finally sighed, "Alright, then I'll take you there."
"Um!"
Li Ruo's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
Wen Huaiyan's study was at the end of the second floor. The housekeeper led Li Ruo to the door and refused to take another step forward.
Li Ruo did not insist on this.
As the housekeeper said, Wen Huaiyan never liked being disturbed when she was working.
But she really didn't want to wait passively any longer...
Having made up her mind, Li Ruo took a deep breath and carefully opened the door.
