Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan, who intended to start driving, stopped moving.

Separated sooner or later?

He looked down to hide the panic her words had suddenly triggered.

Then, he furrowed his brows and looked ahead calmly. His face looked cold all of a sudden. In an instant, the entire car got filled with tension.

Qiao Lian turned to look at the scenery outside the window, as she did not dare to say anything anymore.

After driving up the 3rd Ring Road, the car entered the expressway. A few moments later, she heard Shen Liangchuan say, “You have not even given birth to a child and you are already thinking of leaving?”

His words caused her to clench her fists tightly.

She barely managed to suppress the urge to confront him by saying, “Then why are you giving me birth control pills!” This was something that had been hidden deep in her heart for a long time.

However, she could not say it…

If she said it, they would have a completely acrimonious falling-out.

Lowering her head, Qiao Lian took a deep breath to contain the rage in her heart.

On the journey back to the villa with him, she did not say anything else.

It could be because of the unhappiness caused by the subject of their conversation before, but both of them remained silent.

After entering the villa, she changed her shoes in the living room and went to sit at the dining room area.

On the other hand, he headed upstairs immediately.

Shen Liangchuan had always been a clean-freak, so he had to be going to the room to take a shower right now.

Qiao Lian scanned around living room to make sure none of the servants had noticed her. Thereafter, she tiptoed upstairs very quietly.

She opened the master bedroom’s door first and peered inside. After checking that the water was indeed running in the bathroom, she closed the door stealthily and turned to enter the study beside it.

The study’s door was not closed.

She lightly pushed the door open and entered quickly.

The interior of Shen Liangchuan’s study was very large.

The simple yet refined black and white furniture manifested the owner’s cold aura.

However, she was not in the mood to appreciate all the furniture. Instead, she walked to the office desk, opened the drawer and began searching.

She had come to a decision.

She wanted to leave him.

If she was to initiate the divorce and he agreed to it, that would be a win-win situation.

But if he was to disagree, it would instead make him be on his guard and create inadvertent alarms.

So what she had said in the car just now had actually partially been to probe him.

His attitude was enough to explain everything.

He would not let her go easily, hence he tried to use the contents of the contract to control her.

He had given her two million dollars and in return, she would give birth to his child.

But if she continued taking the birth control pills, she would not be able to bear a child for the rest of her life!

Leaving aside the other matters she had to take care of, the fact that Shen Liangchuan was harassing her so much was enough to make her want to leave. She had to leave!

Thus, she had to find that contract and destroy it first.

However… it wasn’t in the drawer.

Frowning, she looked around. Just then, she saw a painting on the wall and it had obvious traces of it having been moved.

She hurriedly walked over and lightly pushed the painting, where she discovered that there actually was a safe behind the painting!

Her eyes lit up. It was indeed here!

In the past, there had been such a mechanism in her dad’s study.

It seemed like every family actually did not differ much.

But… what was the password for the safe?

Shen Liangchuan’s birthday?

She gave it a try, but it did not work.

His birth year and month?

It still did not work.

While she was racking her brains, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door. Next, before she could do anything, the door flew open. Shen Liangchuan stood there and narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here?”
