Chapter 2996: Always Taking Birth Control Pills

Seeing the pills, her mind buzzed. Could she be that unlucky?

Li Mingxi was very nervous. Those were the birth control pills she hadn’t finished, always kept in her bag, and somehow they had fallen out.

Li Mingxi could only pray that Xiao Lang wouldn’t pay attention, wouldn’t think they were hers.

"Did you drop these?" Xiao Lang asked her, bending down to pick up the pills.

"They’re not mine!" Li Mingxi quickly denied, her whole body tense.

Xiao Lang picked up the pills and saw the name on them — they were birth control pills!

"They’re not mine, throw them away, don’t pick them up randomly!" Li Mingxi said, pretending to be calm, but her heart was pounding with anxiety.

But Xiao Lang didn’t listen to her, his expression changed.

It became very dark, very cold...

Li Mingxi’s blood, following his gaze, was also turning cold.

Xiao Lang lifted his eyes slightly, looking at her: "Have you been taking these all along?"

"I already said, they’re not mine!"

"They fell out of your bag. Don’t deny it, I remember clearly, they did fall out of your bag." But back then, he had only glanced hastily and hadn’t paid much attention.

Luckily, he stepped on the pills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that Li Mingxi had been taking birth control pills all this time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lang found it hard to breathe for a moment.

He stared into Li Mingxi’s eyes: "Tell me, have you been taking these?"

"I..." Li Mingxi didn’t know how to answer.

Since he saw through her, what else could she say?

Say that these aren’t her pills, say that they were birth control pills she took ages ago?

Xiao Lang was so smart, no matter what excuse she made up, he would see the problem.

Li Mingxi lowered her eyes, looking at the ground, implicitly agreeing with his words.

Yet Xiao Lang didn’t want to believe it, didn’t want to believe his wife, knowing he wanted a child, had been taking birth control pills.

He clenched the pills tightly, couldn’t help but growl: "Tell me, have you been taking them?!"

Li Mingxi’s heart trembled slightly.

She hadn’t been taking them all along, it was just recently that she started...

However, saying this would require covering it up with more lies.

Forget it, just admit it, the nature of it is the same anyway.

Li Mingxi nodded, her voice full of guilt: "Yes..."

Xiao Lang’s slight hope was instantly extinguished.

He looked at Li Mingxi in disbelief, his eyes full of hurt and confusion, "Why?"

"..." At this moment, any excuse was groundless.

Say she doesn’t want to have children yet? She’s already at an age, if not now, then when?!

Say she doesn’t like children?

If she didn’t like children, why would she often visit the orphanage?!

Say she doesn’t want his child?

Impossible...

"I’m sorry." Li Mingxi couldn’t explain, could only apologize with guilt.

Xiao Lang’s heart was torn to pieces instantly.

She said sorry to him...

So she really doesn’t want to have his child?

Xiao Lang struggled to suppress the pain in his heart: "Actually, you really didn’t want to marry me, did you?"

Li Mingxi’s lashes fluttered as she looked up at him in shock.

Xiao Lang gave a self-mocking smile: "You married me because I forced you, right?"

"..." It’s not like that...

"You were forced to marry me, but you never intended to give me a child, right?"

"Xiao Lang..." Li Mingxi wanted to explain something but couldn’t explain anything.

Xiao Lang gave a faint smile, his pitch-black eyes revealing no emotion.

"Am I making things difficult for you, giving you a lot of pressure?"
