The servant replied respectfully: "This is the contraceptive pill Mr. ordered us to prepare for you. Traditional Chinese medicine has little side effects on the body. Please drink it while it's hot." Hearing this, the expression on Mi Ruo's face froze instantly.
I was speechless for a moment.
It stands to reason that Li Yan didn't take any safety measures last night, so it would be both beneficial and harmful to her, but for some reason, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
After taking the bowl of soup, the strong smell of the medicine jumped into her nose and into her throat, as if there was a foreign object stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to swallow for a long time.
She never felt that preparing contraceptive pills for the other person was the greatest harm a man could do to a woman. But now, she felt the pain in her heart that could not go away for a long time. Mi Ruo couldn't help but touch her breast gently.
Unexpectedly, there was another throbbing pain, which made her take a breath of air.
Seeing that she was still frozen in place, the servant urged again, "Madam, please drink it while it's hot. Sir, I have told you to drink it with your own eyes..."
Probably feeling the slight change in Mi Ruo's face, the servant's voice couldn't help but weaken. He bent down and glanced at her secretly, then retracted his head again and remained silent.
Mi Ruo smiled bitterly, raised her neck and drank all the soup in the bowl in one breath, then handed the bowl to the servant, waved her hand and said, "Is this okay?"
"Yes, ma'am." After saying this, the servant was about to leave with the bowl in hand.
"Wait a minute!" Mi Ruo suddenly called out to the servant, who was a middle-aged woman around fifty years old, surnamed Shi. Cindy often called her Granny Shi. She was obviously much older than Mi Ruo, but she wanted to treat her badly.
The bending of the head and waist was really too much for Mi Ruo.
Of course, the thing that made Mi Ruo feel most awkward was the name Granny Shi called her.
She frowned and said, "Don't call me wife from now on. Your husband and I have been divorced for several years. Just call me by my first name. My last name is Mi, and my last name is "Ruo"."
"This..." Granny Shi frowned and was about to refuse, but when she saw the displeasure on Mi Ruo's face, she had to compromise, "Okay, Miss Mi..."
Mi Ruo nodded slightly, and then there was a smile on her face. She asked tactfully, "By the way, did your husband tell you where he went?"
Granny Shi shook her head, "Sir, he left in a hurry, and besides, this is not something we servants should ask, and we don't dare to ask."
Mi Ruo couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on her face.
Seeing this, Granny Shi also felt compassion.
Even her, a servant, could see that the husband felt very sorry for Miss Mi and even asked her to boil a bowl of nourishing soup for Miss Mi to drink. But what she didn't understand was why the husband insisted on her telling her so many times.
In front of Ms. Mi, you said that the bowl of soup was a contraceptive pill?!
Thinking of this, she said comfortingly, "Miss..., sir, if you feel lonely, you can take the little lady to play in the back garden."
Mi Ruo couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, "Then can I take Cindy out to play?"
Granny Shi said with a troubled expression, "I'm afraid not."
Mi Ruo lowered her long eyelashes, bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I understand, you can go and do your work."

All day long, Mi Ruo had been speculating on whether Li Yan had seen through her plan. If not, why did he leave suddenly? Not even a message.
After the intimate behavior last night, she subconsciously felt that if she really found a way to escape, she might arouse his temper again.
To this day, she has to admit that she is a little afraid of him, or to be precise, at this moment, she feels as if she is planning something that she knows is wrong, and on the one hand, she longs for a good ending as she planned.
, on the other hand, he couldn't imagine his reaction after the plan was successful, and he was trapped in the torment of contradictions.
Why does she have such thoughts? As if she feels she owes him something...
The unsolvable confusion lingered around her all day long. She wanted to know if he had seen through her inner thoughts. However, from that day on, there was no news from him for a week. He never called or even sent a text message.
Can't see it.
She couldn't control the slight feeling of loss that passed through her heart. Even when she was with Cindy, she always felt as if she was holding someone or something in her heart.
But her reason told her that this was actually better.
Without contact, I just spent a lot of time clarifying my thoughts.
If she doesn't contact him, she won't have a lot of baggage, and will be able to let go of his constraints more freely.
Isn't this the freedom she has always longed for? So what is she hesitating about now?
Sometimes when she couldn't sleep in bed, she would put herself in someone else's shoes and think about it. Just imagine, if she were Li Yan, even if he had really been nostalgic for a woman, no one could guarantee that he would be interested in this woman three years later.
A woman's feelings will not change, not to mention that she couldn't guarantee whether his feelings for her were true three years ago, or now?
The reason why he didn't reject her deal and conditions was just because of his children's relationship. His feelings for her were definitely not love. He was just retaliating against her and toying with her. Once she let down her guard, she would lose everything.
She will be her daughter, the most important thing to her.
Therefore, she must not be soft-hearted and never allow this to happen!
After thinking about this, her mood calmed down. For the sake of her daughter, it didn't matter to her.
Thinking of this, she was more content with the status quo. No matter whether he saw through her plan or not, she just did what she had to do, eat with him, drink with him, and of course sleep with him. Since they met because of a
One transaction, then there’s nothing wrong with making another transaction!

When Li Yan saw Mi Ruo a week later, he felt that something had changed about her.
The day after he returned to China to take care of business, he invited her to watch a tennis match. He didn't have high hopes at first, so he just called her casually to ask her out. Based on his understanding of her, he expected that she would refuse, but he didn't expect that she would refuse.
She actually agreed happily and sent someone to pick her up to the arena.
The tennis hall, which can accommodate 15,000 people, is packed with seats. Mi Ruo's seat is in the sub-VIP box, which may belong to some accompanying sponsors. The leather soft chairs are very comfortable. There are newspapers, magazines and drinks next to the armrests. Most of the seats next to it are
They are all blond or blue-eyed foreigners.
However, there was no trace of Li Yan...
There are three rows in front of her, especially the box in the middle, which includes rows one to three with six central seats in each row. It is an excellent viewing point. You can clearly see every minute movement of the players on both sides. This is something you can do if you have money.
Platinum top seats that cannot be bought are also equipped with dedicated waiters at the entrance of the box.
Mi Ruo didn't know anything about tennis, let alone watching the ball. As he was looking around, he heard someone behind him muttering, "Who is he? He booked the best seat but didn't watch it. It's a waste."
