“I…” Gu Qingcheng felt a sense of frustration, unable to hold back tears, “How can I explain it to you?”
Huo Sicheng was quite puzzled; he really didn’t know the difference between sanitary pads and tampons.
“You can simply tell me,” he said.
“You…” Gu Qingcheng felt torn, “I don’t want to talk to you about it.”
“So, these are not usable, right?” Huo Sicheng was at a loss.
“It’s not that they’re not usable, but…” Gu Qingcheng blushed to the point of bleeding, “It’s just that I can’t use them. You… drive me crazy!”
“Don’t be upset,” Huo Sicheng quickly comforted her, then asked softly, “Why can’t you use them?”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng’s puzzled expression and realized that asking him to buy these things was indeed putting him in an awkward situation. After all, as a prestigious man, it was probably his first time buying sanitary products.
“Sanitary pads are worn outside,” she embarrassedly tried to explain, “but tampons need to be inserted. I… I can’t use them that way. It would harm my physical structure. Of course, I can use them, but I should try to avoid it. If I don’t insert them properly, it could cause damage. How can you expect me to use them like this? You, you ignorant man, do I really have to spell it out for you to understand?”
Huo Sicheng’s pupils contracted, suddenly grasping the meaning behind Gu Qingcheng’s words.
“I thought you… you and Qin… or…”
He stumbled, feeling his heart pounding and his body heating up as he looked into her radiant eyes.
“You…” Gu Qingcheng was both angry and embarrassed. She grabbed the sanitary tampon in front of her and threw it at Huo Sicheng’s chest, “Do I look like someone who would have anything with Qin Jun? I’ve told you before, that trash Qin Jun never even held my hand. Is he worthy of touching me? You…”
Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, she covered her face and rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
“Get out!” she yelled, kicking the door in frustration, “Just get out of my house!”
Huo Sicheng was overwhelmed with warmth amidst the discomfort. However, he couldn’t express his joy to Gu Qingcheng right now, so he tried to comfort her, “Wait for me, I’ll buy it for you again.”
Knowing her personality, she would probably contact someone to buy it for her. He absolutely couldn’t allow Qi Shaoze to appear at her home! Never!
Soon, Huo Sicheng bought all the sanitary products available in the supermarket.
“I definitely didn’t buy the wrong ones this time,” he assured her, understanding her embarrassment, “I’ll wait for you downstairs. Come out and pick what you need.”
Initially, Gu Qingcheng had intended to ask Li Jing to buy it for her, but it was too far and inconvenient for him to come from the Di Yi Entertainment Group. Besides, there was no delivery service in this scenic area, so she had no choice but to wait for Huo Sicheng.
After she changed, she found a set of clothes selected by Huo Sicheng on the bed. They were clothes she liked, so she changed into them.
In the dining room, she saw Huo Sicheng sitting by the window, gazing absentmindedly at a white magnolia outside. The weather was nice today, and the sunlight gave him a radiant aura, making him appear like a celestial being who had just descended from heaven. Seeing him like this made her heart race like a startled deer.
Seeing him, her face immediately turned hot, and she felt both embarrassed and awkward, to the point where her toes could probably dig out a three-bedroom apartment.
“The breakfast is quite sumptuous,” she pretended to be calm as she sat down, “Is the view outside so captivating, or are you just not hungry? If you don’t want to eat, then don’t bother coming over.”
“I haven’t eaten yet,” Huo Sicheng turned his gaze from the view to Gu Qingcheng. Amazement and tenderness flashed in his eyes as he approached her and said softly, “You’ve been weak these past few days, so eat some bird’s nest. ”
Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips, ignoring Huo Sicheng, and started eating. She was famished, likely due to the consumption during her period.
As she enjoyed the delicious and sweet glutinous rice cakes, she asked Huo Sicheng, “The taste is excellent. It’s the first time I’ve eaten something this delicious. Where did you buy it?”
“I’ll make it for you if you like it,” Huo Sicheng replied softly. Then, he seemed to recall something and added, “Ah Qing bought it. You can ask her later, and I’ll get it for you next time.”
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow at the first half of Huo Sicheng’s response but nodded at the second half. After all, he couldn’t cook, so having Ah Qing buy it was the right decision.
Huo Sicheng elegantly finished his breakfast, delighted to see Gu Qingcheng finishing all the dishes. He took a napkin and gently wiped the corners of her lips, his eyes full of indulgence. His voice was gentle as he said, “In the future, try to stay away from Qi Shaoze.”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyebrows furrowed, and she turned her head to avoid Huo Sicheng’s touch, wearing a half-smile on her face.
“I can’t be a lover with Qi Shaoze, but we’re friends. Why should I keep my distance from him? Besides, I didn’t inquire about your affairs with Ji Sisi. What gives you the right to meddle in my circle of friends?”
“We are legally married as husband and wife. No matter how much we argue, we are still married!” Huo Sicheng locked his eyes with Gu Qingcheng’s and emphasized, “As your husband, I have the right to be concerned about your affairs. ”
“Moreover, when it comes to Ji Sisi, I entrusted the matter to you, and you chose to keep her in the Huo family. I didn’t blame you for what happened with her at the company yesterday; you can’t vent your anger on me.”
“And, when I said to stay away from Qi Shaoze, listen carefully, I said ‘try to,’ those two words. I didn’t say you couldn’t be friends with him. We are husband and wife, after all. Every time you make it to the hot search, it just becomes fodder for gossip for Gu Tianhao and Chu He. They will look at us and laugh.”
“Of course, you can say that you don’t care about their laughter. But let me remind you, Gu Tianhao and Chu He sees you as a thorn in their side. Your actions provide them with extra material to mock you during tea time. Rather than that, why not try to minimize contact with Qi Shaoze to prevent another hot search in the future?”
Gu Qingcheng understood every word of Huo Sicheng’s speech, realizing that he was telling the truth in every sentence. She didn’t want her private life to become a subject of ridicule for Gu Tianhao and Chu He.
But still, she couldn’t help but feel displeased by his interference in her private life. What surprised her the most was the fact that Huo Sicheng, who was usually quiet and reserved, was now speaking so much. In the past, she could say ten sentences, and he would only respond with a few words. Even when she scolded him or hit him, he would remain silent and let her vent her anger. This would always infuriate her to no end.
So today’s Huo Sicheng felt somewhat unfamiliar to her, but she also felt comfortable with the fact that he was finally able to talk to her properly rather than staying silent whenever something happened.
“I don’t mind letting Gu Tianhao and Chu He laugh at us. What’s wrong with that?” She half-heartedly accused Huo Sicheng, “Besides, I’ve told you that my meeting with Qi Shaoze was just a simple dinner. Cleanliness begets cleanliness.”
“Of course, you can assume that something happened between us, and I can’t control what you think. In any case, I’m not new to being in the hot search with him, and you know it too. You know I won’t be angry or care about it, so why bother concerning yourself with who I’m having a meal with?”
As Gu Qingcheng maintained an indifferent attitude, a trace of bitterness flashed in Huo Sicheng’s eyes. He gazed deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and spoke each word clearly.
“How do you know I’m not angry? And how do you know I don’t care?”
His eyes were deep and intense as he stared at Gu Qingcheng, speaking with absolute clarity.
“Yes, I don’t care if Gu Tianhao and Chu He mock us. But what I do care about is you, Gu Qingcheng.. Every time you meet Qi Shaoze, every time you make it to the hot search with him, it makes me feel sour, jealous, and crazy with jealousy! Do you know that?”
