There was a box of medicine on the washstand, and Wen Changling was unwrapping it.
The medicine had been purchased in advance by her.
Xie Shang did not make any moves to prevent her, only tightening his arms around her waist and pleading softly, "Can you not take the medicine?"
"No," Wen Changling said without hesitation, removing the packaging and taking out the pill, "I won't have children."
Once her revenge was complete, she planned to go see Ah Na and her mother, and the Hooked Cymbidium she had been nurturing for so long in the courtyard. She picked up the cup from the washstand and swallowed the medicine.
Xie Shang apologized softly in her ear, "I'm sorry."
He had foolishly hoped that if they had a child, it might be for the better, thinking that she might soften her heart with a child. Had he known she would take the medicine, he would not have let her go without contraception.
