Chapter 834: These Are Sleeping Pills (2)

How many?

Recalling the way that she had downed those pills, he jumped up in fright and ran towards her, demanding anxiously, “How many did you take? Spit them all out!”

Qiao Lian shrank back and replied, “Why? It’s just vitamins. Taking a few won’t hurt!”

“How are you feeling now? Spit them out quickly! These are sleeping pills, an overdose can kill you.”

In his panic, he said these words aloud.

But the moment these words came out, the study fell silent.

Qiao Lian looked at him with a shocked expression and said, “So these are sleeping pills?”

Seeing her reaction, Shen Liangchuan suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

Actually, she had taken none.

Indeed, she hadn’t taken any.

In the last few days, although Shen Liangchuan had gotten back into the normal swing of his daily life…

She felt that it was all forced.

He had forced himself to be good towards her, forced himself to not lose his temper, and even forced himself to sleep.

Nothing had changed in their daily lives.

Yet she felt that something was awfully different.

No matter what, it was different.

Even when he smiled, it was so superficial.

When she came looking for him just now and saw him taking the pills, she felt that something was wrong. That was why she had set him up.

And so…

These were sleeping pills.Read more chapter at vipnovel

These days, before bedtime every night, he had to take sleeping pills.

What was wrong with him exactly that he had to take sleeping pills to help him sleep?!

Qiao Lian stood up and stared at him. “Shen Liangchuan, tell me. Why are you taking sleeping pills?”

The effect of the sleeping pill was starting to set in.

Shen Liangchuan felt the heaviness in his eyes and tiredness was descending upon him quickly. His mind was shutting down.

He looked at Qiao Lian and said, “Xiao Qiao, stop the nonsense.”

Qiao Lian shook her head and said, “I’m not being nonsensical. You can’t be taking this sort of drugs.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

“Tell me then, why are you taking this?”

Shen Liangchuan massaged his temple and said, “I haven’t been able to sleep lately, perhaps it’s the pressure I’m facing.”

Hearing the lame excuse, she finally closed her eyes with resignation.

She squeezed the vial in her hand tightly and said after a pause, “Let’s go to sleep.”

“Ok.”

Following Shen Liangchuan, they walked back into their bedroom.

After lying on the bed for some time, she finally heard Shen Liangchuan’s light and shallow breathing. He must have fallen asleep.

She, however, could not get to sleep. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling.

Finally, she shut her eyes.

All night long, she drifted in and out of a restless sleep. And in the middle of the night, she suddenly heard the man next to her sit up in bed with a snap.

She opened her eyes again and saw Shen Liangchuan sitting up. He appeared to have a headache as he pressed down on his skull. Then he stood up and walked out of the room quietly.

Qiao Lian sat up and got out of bed, silently following behind him.

She saw him enter the study and open the desk drawer, like he was looking for something.

Qiao Lian walked in and looked at him. Holding up the vial of sleeping pills in her hand, she asked, “Are you looking for this?”

Shen Liangchuan turned around and saw the vial of medicine. He pursed his lips and hesitated before he nodded.

With a serious expression on her face, she walked towards him. Without saying a word, she handed the sleeping pills over to the man.

He took the vial from her, opened the lid and took out two pills. He popped them into his mouth.

Then, a bottle of water appeared before him.

He turned around and saw that Qiao Lian had brought the water for him.

He hesitated again for a moment, then reached out and took the glass from her. “The doctor said this medicine is safe…”
