Shangxin took the spoon and stirred the medicine and was going to gulp the medicine down.

She held her nose and opened her mouth.

When her lips touched the side of the bowl, a hand hit the medicine she was holding.

BAM!

The bowl of medicine fell onto the floor and shattered.

The black medicine spilled everywhere…

Shangxin looked up in shock. She turned back and realized that Tang Yuansi was pale.

The expression on his face was worse than hers.

“Brother Xiaosi!”

“I didn’t do it on purpose. I will tell the butler to get you another bowl of medicine. I’ve just remembered that I have to work. I am going to the study.” Tang Yuansi stood up from the chair and left the room in a hurry.

He left in such a hurry that Shangxin didn’t even have the time to talk.

She blinked her eyes in confusion as she stared at the medicine on the floor.

She felt that his reaction was weird today.

Tang Yuansi walked to the door; the pain in his chest made it hard for him to walk.

He was worried that Shangxin would be able to see him and he dragged himself up the stairs.

He entered the study room and slammed the door.

He leaned on the door and covered his face as he knelt down.

The previous scene kept replaying in his mind…

She had almost drunk the medicine.

He thought that he would be relieved.

However, when he saw that she was about to drink the medicine, his heart felt as though it had been emptied. The hollowness consumed him and spread throughout his body.

He hit the medicine out of her hand without any hesitation. He didn’t even realize what he had done.

When he saw her shocked look, he could only flee…

Tang Yuansi lifted his hand off his face and his eyes were red.

His handsome face was as pale as a piece of white paper.

It was terrifying.

How much he loved her was how much he loved their baby.

However, if she kept the baby, the baby would only be a burden. He didn’t know how to face her and her trust in him.

Knock, knock!

The study room door sounded.

The assistant said, “President Tang, it’s me.”

Tang Yuansi stood up from behind the door, sat down in front of the table and hid his emotions.

“Come in.”

The assistant pushed the door open and entered.

“The medicine has been cleaned. Miss Shangxin has also left the dining room. When she was leaving she asked me, if you didn’t want the baby…”

The assistant was taken aback completely.

He didn’t know how to answer her.

He felt that Miss Shangxin felt something.

He cleaned up the mess and came to inform Tang Yuansi immediately.

Upon hearing the assistant, Tang Yuansi’s felt confused.

She knew him as well as he knew her.

Xin’er had been very sensitive since she was young.

She did not grow up with her mum, hence she was very cautious about other’s feelings. She would always hide her troubles.

Since she asked, she must have realized that something was wrong. She just didn’t want to ask him directly…

“Where is she?” Tang Yuansi asked in a panic.

The assistant answered, “Miss Shangxin returned to her room after asking me.”
