Chapter 172: 165: Indulgent and incredibly sweet daily love life (second update) Chapter 172: 165: Indulgent and incredibly sweet daily love life (second update) 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.

Wen Changling turned toward him: “It’s not your fault, it’s mine.” She didn’t want to talk about it, grabbing the clothes at both sides of Xie Shang’s waist, “It’s a bit bitter.”

“I’ll go get you some sugar.”

She didn’t let go of Xie Shang, her voice coquettish, “Xingxing.”

She tilted her head back, gave a little hum, and asked for a kiss from Xie Shang.

She was very good at being adorable.

Hearing her, Xie Shang’s heart softened, and worried lest she hurt herself on the washstand’s edge, he protected her lower back with one hand, braced himself on the countertop, and leaned down to kiss her. With the tip of his tongue bringing a trace of moisture, he didn’t taste any bitterness.

They kissed for a long time, then embraced.

Xie Shang might have an aggressive personality, but the pace of their relationship had always been dictated by Wen Changling. They had been together for five months, and prior to this, they hadn’t kissed much—countable on both hands and still not as much as tonight. Love was like this, longing for closeness, to possess and to be possessed.

Resting in Xie Shang’s arms, Wen Changling caught her breath, “Xingxing.”

“Hmm.”

“Xingxing.”
