Resting well last night, even President Shi had a hint of a smile on his usually indifferent face when he entered the company today, looking spirited and exuberant between his brows.
Employees greeted him, and he even responded to each one, the corners of his mouth curled with a smile, leaving the female staff dizzy and bewitched, feeling as if today was their lucky day.
Xiao Zhao, seeing his BOSS in a good mood, naturally felt happy as well. He knew that President Shi had been in an exceptionally good mood recently, a drastic change from his usually gloomy deanor. Indeed, a harmonious marriage leads to a harmonious family, which is beneficial to social harmony!
As usual, Xiao Zhao held the docunts for President Shi’s signature. President Shi quickly signed them with swift strokes. After closing the docunts and handing them back to Xiao Zhao, and as Xiao Zhao was about to leave, President Shi tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and suddenly rembered sothing, asking, "Have you found anything about the pill I asked you to check yesterday?"
Xiao Zhao paused, a hint of confusion in his eyes, "President Shi, I sent you a text about it yesterday, didn’t you receive it?"
Shi Che frowned slightly, vaguely recalling that his phone did ring for a while last night, but at that ti, who would pay attention to their phone?
His expression unchanged, he said indifferently, "Just tell directly."
Xiao Zhao nodded and related the findings of yesterday’s investigation honestly, "President Shi, you said that the pill was a birth control pill, but according to my investigation, it’s not a contraceptive at all. It’s just a simple vitamin that happens to look very similar to birth control pills. Could it be that you mixed them up by mistake?"
Xiao Zhao had been quite bewildered when he took it to the doctor yesterday; it was clearly a vitamin, so why was it called a contraceptive pill? But he hadn’t thought much of it and assud it was just a mix-up.
While Shi Che was looking at a report, he wasn’t expecting such a response from Xiao Zhao. His gaze darkened as he narrowed his eyes incredulously, "What did you say?"
"President Shi, what you gave yesterday were vitamins, not contraceptive pills. So under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t cause any significant side effects."
Shi Che stood stunned for a mont, then his black eyes turned completely cloudy. He looked at Xiao Zhao, his voice low and fierce, "That pill, it’s not a birth control pill? It’s a vitamin?"
Xiao Zhao, seeing President Shi’s face undergo a sudden change, felt a chill down his spine. Not knowing why, he still nodded truthfully, replying shakily, "It’s a vitamin, not a Contraceptive Pill."
Hearing Xiao Zhao’s affirmative answer, Shi Che’s handso face beca overcast in an instant, and many small details, which he hadn’t given much thought to before, surged into his mind like a violent storm.
Ling Chuxia’s sudden change, her telling him that she would take her dicine properly, that if he didn’t want children then they wouldn’t have any.
He found a vitamin box in the living room by chance, its pills brimming full yet carelessly scattered on the floor.
Then there was that night, when he ntioned using a condom, so she didn’t need to take her dicine anymore. She was so nervous that she couldn’t hold the pillbox steady, and it fell to the ground, spilling pills everywhere. She hit her head, yet didn’t realize, only nervously trying to pick up those pills.
It turned out, what she was nervous about... was not the pills themselves, but that he would discover, those weren’t birth control pills, but vitamins! She had switched them out long ago.
