Half a month later.
An Nuan got her period.
When she woke up in the morning and saw that spot of blood on her underwear, she was totally devastated.
After so many days of Uncle Zhong's attentive care, delivering meals to her every day without fail.
What a waste, after she drank so much pure milk these days.
But in the end,
she got her period.
When she thought of Ye Jinghuai...
She guessed, would Ye Jinghuai be too disappointed?
An Nuan changed her underwear, washed her bottom, put on a sanitary pad, then washed up.
She thought not only would Ye Jinghuai be devastated.
She was devastated too.
She changed her clothes, put on makeup and went downstairs.
She almost didn't dare to face Uncle Zhong.
She sat at the dining table. Uncle Zhong was still making all kinds of nutritious breakfasts for her.
"Uncle Zhong." An Nuan picked up her bowl and chopsticks, finding it hard to speak.
"Is it not to Madam's taste?" Uncle Zhong asked.
"No, it's me..." An Nuan gritted her teeth. "I got my period."
Uncle Zhong was stunned for two seconds before reacting.
His face was visibly disappointed, but he said, "It's alright. You and the young master are still young. It's not difficult to plan again slowly."
She suddenly felt it was so difficult.
Although this was the first failure, there was still a lot of pressure.
"Madam, eat more. Although you're not pregnant, nourishing the body for pregnancy is equally important. When the body is well nourished, it will be easier to get pregnant." Uncle Zhong advised.
"Okay." An Nuan smiled slightly.
Then she slowly ate her breakfast.
She felt her mood was very low today.
She heaved a deep sigh. After breakfast, she got into Hu Feng's car, and still called Ye Jinghuai, "Ye Jinghuai."
"You sound like you're in a bad mood?" Ye Jinghuai raised his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid it'll disappoint you if I say it." An Nuan really found it hard to say.
"You got your period." Ye Jinghuai stated directly.
"Did Uncle Zhong tell you?" An Nuan was surprised.
"I guessed it." Ye Jinghuai said, "Counting the days, if you were to get your period, it would be around these two days. "
"Are you unhappy?"
"No, not at all. I was actually wondering these two days, so I feel relieved now that you got it." Ye Jinghuai spoke casually.
Clearly not.
"I've thought it through." Ye Jinghuai suddenly said.
"Thought what through?"
"I'll come back once every month during your ovulation days."
"..." Wasn't that too exaggerated.
"On one hand to try for a baby, on the other hand, also to meet the physical needs between husband and wife. Being apart for too long can cause hormonal imbalances." Ye Jinghuai reasoned.
"You're just making up excuses to sleep with me, aren't you?"
"My wife is so smart, you know everything I'm thinking." Ye Jinghuai pretended.
Please.
An Nuan was disdainful.
But she had to admit, hearing Ye Jinghuai's lighthearted tone, her mood felt much better.
The pressure had been great originally.
"Wait for me to come back on time next month." Ye Jinghuai said.
"Whatever you say." An Nuan acted nonchalant.
But the smile at the corner of her mouth was obvious.
After chatting for a while more, they hung up.
An Nuan put down her phone and leaned back in the seat. The smile at the corner of her mouth didn't seem to have faded.
Just thinking that Ye Jinghuai could come back once every month, she truly felt full of anticipation.
Hu Feng looked at An Nuan's smile through the rearview mirror.
Hu Feng, who usually had no facial expression changes, also seemed to have a barely noticeable smile at that moment.
Mr. Ye had been lonely for too long.
He finally found the other half who could warm him.
They arrived at An Corporation.
An Nuan walked into the office. Luo Si brought her a glass of pure milk.
Seeing the milk, An Nuan's eyelid started twitching.
What was the point of her drinking it for half a month.
She was irritated and wanted to change it to coffee, but on second thought, she accepted it.
Uncle Zhong was right, nourishing the body pre-pregnancy was good.
She focused her attention and said to Luo Si, "The tasks I assigned yesterday, have they all been delegated?"
"Yes, I'll give you feedback within the designated timeframe."
"Good." An Nuan nodded. "Are there any schedules for today?"
"Nothing for today so far. But the Chairman's secretary office just told me that New Trends Magazine wants to do an exclusive interview with you. They wanted to know if you have time. The secretary office's opinion is that they hope you'll accept it. Positive exposure is beneficial for the company." Luo Si reported.
An Nuan smiled.
What secretary office's opinion, it was clearly her dad's idea.
She said, "Okay, let me know when the time is confirmed."
"Yes."
"You can go now."
Luo Si turned to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. She turned back to An Nuan, "Boss An, Gu Group seems to be making moves recently."
An Nuan's expression darkened.
"I heard they're working on building an international e-commerce platform. That is, they'll be partnering strategically with an international e-commerce company to open up international channels. I heard Gu Group is willing to invest heavily into this project."
An Nuan's eyes narrowed.
Last time, Gu Group invested 9.9 billion into Nanyuan New City. That project could barely break even, or may even make a small loss. The main point was, that project's returns would be very slow, given it's an official collaboration, the procedures are too long. And now Gu Group wants to invest in international e-commerce again, with such a huge sum, where are they getting the money from?!
What is Gu Yansheng up to again?!
"Boss An?" Luo Si called her softly when she saw An Nuan spacing out.
"Oh, okay, I got it. You go busy yourself."
"Yes."
After Luo Si left, An Nuan immediately called Qin Jiang.
His first sentence after picking up was, "I'm pretty useful huh?"
"Quite useful." An Nuan stated directly.
Qin Jiang was speechless.
If not for Ye Jinghuai's sake, he wouldn't even bother with An Nuan.
"What's the matter? Speak directly." Qin Jiang sounded rather impatient.
"I heard Gu Group is making trouble again. Help me look into it, what exactly is this international e-commerce about, how much are they investing, what's the estimated impact? Most importantly, who is the one that exclusively introduced this international e-commerce business to Gu Group. Also very important, where did Gu Yansheng get the money to invest in this project."
"Okay, noted it down." Qin Jiang lazily said, "I'll message you when I find out."
"Thanks."
"Thank Ye Jinghuai." Qin Jiang stated directly.
Then he hung up.
An Nuan pursed her lips.
Qin Jiang's attitude really needed someone to educate him properly.
An Nuan focused her attention on work.
The phone rang again.
An Nuan glanced at the caller ID, "Qiqi."
"I'm going to divorce Xiao Nanchun tomorrow."
"Qiqi, I said..."
"Just telling you, don't nag. The divorce is set." Xia Qiqi stated directly. "Anyway the marriage is over."
An Nuan didn't continue. "It's your own business if you regret it later. I swear I won't sympathize."
"Hmph." Xia Qiqi didn't care at all.
