Spring Branches

Chapter 121

After discovering the contraceptive pill, Tang Asi inexplicably began to feel a little repulsed by Lu Yichuan.

The video phone kept ringing.

Tang Asi just watched him vibrate quietly, feeling strange in his heart.

After thinking for a while, the video was disconnected. Then a text message popped up on the screen.

Lu Yichuan: [Tang Asi, why don’t you answer the phone? Just watch it ring quietly, and don’t answer it?]

After seeing the continuous question marks, Tang Asi became even more annoyed.

She didn't know how to face Lu Yichuan and his idle face.

He knew that she wanted a child very much, and she had told him many times. Her eyes were so sincere, didn't he believe that he couldn't feel it? He was still deceiving himself.

Tang Asi typed a line of words on the keyboard, then deleted it when he felt it was inappropriate. He typed and deleted again, over and over again.

Another message popped up in the chat box with Lu Yichuang.

Lu Yichuan: [What do you want to say? Keep typing.]

Tang Asi exhaled: [I want a child.]

[Then what?]

Tang Asi did not reply.

Lu Yichuan's message popped up again: [Is this the reason why you don't accept the video?]

Lu Yichuan: [Tang Asi, tell me where you are? I'm coming to find you now, let's talk it out.]

Lu Yichuan: [I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but I’m really worried about you now, and I want to see you right away.]

He is always so domineering.

Every time he encountered something, he would use his domineering approach to solve it.

Tang Asi wanted to talk about his discovery of the contraceptive pill on the table, but he was afraid that the contraceptive pill was not Lu Yichuang's, and she had already doubted him, which would create a gap between them.

But if he didn't say it, Tang Asi would feel very uncomfortable.

Tang Asi replied slowly: [I'm at home.]

Lu Yichuan replied immediately: [I will be back right away.]

Tang Asi replied: [Nothing happened, you don’t have to come back now.]

Lu Yichuan replied immediately: [Tang Asi, you are not in the right mood. I can feel it. Please tell me about it when I come back.]

Seeing that text messages didn't work, Tang Asi directly made a video call to Lu Yichuang.

It was picked up almost instantly.

Lu Yichuan's handsome face appeared in the video, and he was hurriedly putting on his clothes.

Tang Asi frowned, then quickly relaxed and said, "You don't have to come back, I'm fine, I'm at home."

Lu Yichuan stopped what he was doing and asked, "Then why didn't you answer my call just now?"

Tang Asi said: "I was in the bathroom at that time, so it was inconvenient for me to answer."

"Really? Xiao Si." Lu Yichuan obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Asi nodded heavily: "Really, I was just in the bathroom. I will never lie to you, you have to believe me. I believe you will not lie to me either."

Lu Yichuan exhaled and slowly sat back in his chair.

He was a little anxious at the moment.

He took out a cigarette from the drawer, shook out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth.

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily as if to vent his anger.

This was the first time that Tang Asi saw Lu Yichuan smoking.

She had always known that he smoked, but she had never seen him actually smoke in front of her.

Smoking today...I guess my mood must have been affected by what she said just now.

"Puff slowly." Tang Asi gently reminded, "It will hurt your body."

Lu Yichuan laughed bitterly and said, "Do you care?"

Tang Asi frowned in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Yichuan sneered again, "If you care about me, you will definitely tell me everything in your heart, instead of hesitating and treating me like a fool like you are now, and being on guard."

The veins on Lu Yichuan's index and ring fingers, which held the cigarette butt, were throbbing. His lips had turned pale.

He must be very sad.

But she was also very sad... Who could she tell? Who would care if she showed her emotions now?

"Lu Yichuang, can you please not be so harsh when you speak?" Tang Asi was also angry, and his attitude was particularly cold.

She wanted to hang up the phone immediately.

Lu Yichuan rubbed his brows, stared closely at Tang Asi's dark eyes on the screen, and said, "Tang Asi, what happened?"

Tang Asi didn't say anything.

Lu Yichuan continued, "I know, something must have happened. Tell me quickly. If this matter has something to do with me, you must tell me so that the two of us can solve it. If you keep it in your heart, you will be the only one who suffers."

Tang Asi took a long breath and said, "I feel so tired."

Lu Yichuan frowned.

Tang Asi said slowly, "It's been a year, and we still don't have a child. The contract said two years. One year is almost up..."

Tang Asi gave a bitter smile, "Are we going to be tied together forever? This is unfair to both you and me."

Lu Yichuan was silent for 2 seconds, then said coldly: "Xiao Si, do you want to leave me?"

Tang Asi said: "We were originally just in a contractual relationship. We will leave automatically after we have a child... There is no such thing as one of us being inseparable from the other."

Lu Yichuan smiled bitterly: "I know, you still want to leave me."

Tang Asi nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, I'm going to leave after the child is born. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey."

"..."

Lu Yichuan on the phone slowly lowered his head.

Tang Asi didn't say any more cruel words.

She knew that now that things had come to this, and Lu Yichuan was so smart, it was impossible for him not to guess what he meant.

From the very beginning, their relationship was destined not to last. They could only accompany each other for a period of time, and the rest of the journey had to be walked by themselves.

Both of them were silent, and no one spoke.

In the end, the silence was broken by Lu Yichuang's secretary.

"Boss Lu, Boss Wang is here."

Lu Yichuan's expression was very cold, and he said indifferently: "Well, I'll come out right away."

Then he looked at Tang Asi in front of the screen and said, "Xiao Si, I have to get busy."

Tang Asi said: "Yeah."

Lu Yichuan said: "Xiao Si, even if we have a child, can't we be together?"

Tang Asi nodded: "Yeah."

Lu Yichuan said: "Do you want to end this relationship now, or after the contract ends?"

"..."

Tang Asi didn't understand.

What does Lu Yichuan mean?

Could it be that he could leave now even without the child?

How did he suddenly transform so quickly?

Lu Yichuan added: "Xiao Si, you don't have to consider my feelings. The money I paid for Aunt's medical treatment was considered a meal for you."
