Qiao Xi smiled in embarrassment. She did not expect Gu Zheng to raise his eyes in confusion. “Why would I be unhappy?”
“I… I told you to buy that…”
“I was just doing you a small favor. What’s there to be unhappy about?” Gu Zheng said casually, “But there’s something I don’t understand.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “Hmm?”
“You weren’t feeling well. You should have known that your period had arrived when you were going to the bathroom. Why didn’t you tell me immediately?” Gu Zheng asked.
Qiao Xi’s face flushed red as she stammered, “I-I was thinking of another way to deal with it. I didn’t want to trouble you.”
The man turned his face away. “Let me know if something like this happens again in the future.”
His expression was unnatural, and his ears turned red. “We’re husband and wife. You don’t have to be shy. I’ll help you. I won’t be unhappy.”
Qiao Xi muttered to herself, “But I asked you to buy that, and you…”
“We’re both adults. We’re husband and wife. There’s nothing to hide. Besides, menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon in a woman’s body. I don’t think it’s embarrassing to buy sanitary pads for you. As long as you need something, I’ll get it for you.”
Gu Zheng looked at his watch and said indifferently, “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”
Qiao Xi’s lips trembled slightly, and her heart was moved.
Who said that President Gu did not know how to be romantic? Just a few words were enough to make a woman fall for him1 Moreover, he had a handsome face and was so passionate. Which woman could take it?!
Many chauvinistic men hated buying sanitary pads for women. They even thought that women on their period were dirty, but Gu Zheng was different. He thought that everything was normal and even very considerately prepared red date water for her. He gently told her to rest as well.
Qiao Xi returned to her senses from being touched and was about to return to her room when she saw the empty room beside her filled with a few large boxes.
She looked at the words on the boxes and was silent for a moment. Her eyes widened.
“…” Damn! Could it be that Gu Zheng bought all the sanitary napkins from the supermarket?
…
The next day.
Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa and reading some documents. It was about the bid.
Everyone in Li City knew that this plot of land would belong to either Gu Zheng or Lu Yan in the end. According to the estimates of the professionals, the development of this plot of land would bring about huge benefits, so the starting price was as high as two billion.
Song Shiyu handed the documents he had prepared to Gu Zheng and asked curiously, “President, when I came out of Longwan Residential this morning, I saw several boxes in a room. What’s in them?”
Without thinking, Gu Zheng blurted out, “Sanitary pads.”
Song Shiyu: “?”
He asked in horror, “What? The boxes are filled with sanitary pads? President, when did our company start such a business? Are you selling sanitary pads?”
Gu Zheng frowned and said impatiently, “I went to the supermarket to buy them.”
Song Shiyu was dumbfounded.
Did he hear wrongly? Why did the president buy so many sanitary pads?
Since his salary had already been deducted multiple times, Song Shiyu had nothing to worry about. He immediately asked slyly, “President, are you… crazy?”
Actually, the manager of the finance department knew very well that although the president said he would deduct Assistant Song’s salary, he would never really do so. That was why Assistant Song was so arrogant.
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Song Shiyu’s heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but take a step back. “President, that’s not what I mean. I just want to ask why you bought so many sanitary pads. Are they all for Young Madam?”
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and felt annoyed. He suddenly regretted making Song Shiyu his assistant.
He snorted. “You can use them!”
Song Shiyu’s mouth fell open. “…”
“President… let me off this once. I don’t need… sanitary pads!”
After a while, Song Shijing walked in.. Seeing Song Shiyu who was on the verge of tears, he ignored him and reported respectfully, “President, Lu Yan has raised the price to three billion.”
