Huo Shao Ting looked at the computer screen for seven or eight minutes. He had studied this jade pendant before. It was just a high-quality ink jade without anything special.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant Zhang. What he couldn't see, experts could always see.
Then he dealt with some work and went back to bed, gently hugging Rong Dai who was fast asleep, and the couple fell into deep sleep.
Rong Dai slept very soundly. When she got up early in the morning, she felt refreshed. The pain that came with her period last night was gone.
She turned over and reached out to touch the already cool bed beside her. Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, her cheeks couldn't help turning red again.
She still remembered what happened last night. She sat up and felt the surging sensation down there, which seemed to want to spurt out. She immediately crawled out of bed.
Seeing that the sheets were still clean, she breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
Huo Shao Ting came out of the bathroom and saw her standing by the bed tidying up. He told her, "Drink the brown sugar water in the thermos first. Mrs. Wang will take care of the rest."
But Rong Dai had already tidied up the bed. Although she still felt a little embarrassed, since he didn't mention it, she certainly wouldn't mention it either. She unscrewed the thermos and drank.
The brown sugar water boiled last night was no longer scalding hot. Rong Dai didn't dare to waste his thoughtfulness. She also knew it was good to drink brown sugar water during the first two days of her period. The feeling last night was really too painful.
"I've finished drinking... I'll go wash up first."
She put down the thermos, still not daring to look at Huo Shao Ting, quickly went to the cloakroom to take a sanitary napkin, and then went into the bathroom, not forgetting to lock the door this time.
Hearing her lock the door, Huo Shao Ting was a little helpless. Thinking that it was probably last night's events that made her feel embarrassed, he changed his clothes and went downstairs first by himself.
Rong Dai didn't wash up immediately after entering the bathroom. She first changed her sanitary napkin, but as she sat down, she froze.
She saw a patch of dried dark red blood on her butt. Did Huo Shao Ting see it just now?
Her cheeks instantly became scalding hot. Rong Dai really wished she could find a crack in the ground and drill into it!
As she was annoyed, her eyes caught sight of the laundry basket placed far away. Half of Huo Shao Ting's home clothes were still exposed outside, with a few spots of blood on them.
Could it be that she had rubbed it all over Huo Shao Ting's body?!
Rong Dai was so shocked that her eyes widened. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. She really hoped a thunderbolt could strike her with amnesia right now!
This kind of thing was simply... All the face she had accumulated in her two lifetimes had vanished overnight.
Rong Dai felt desperate sitting on the toilet and sighing. What's done cannot be undone. What else could she do?
Should she tell Huo Shao Ting not to overthink? Wouldn't that make things more awkward for herself?
She could only pretend to have amnesia and bury her head in the sand.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Rong Dai thought her face had been lost thoroughly. Her whole being felt a little sickly.
"Sister-in-law, you don't look well. I'll have Mrs. Wang cook red dates and bird's nest soup for you. We women are most vulnerable at this time, so you need to take care of yourself."
Seeing her looking unwell, Huo Mei Shu advised her. Mrs. Wang also brought out the cooked red dates and bird's nest soup.
Seeing her pale complexion, Lu Zheng was also a little worried. She glanced at Huo Shao Ting, "Let her rest at home today. Work can be done anytime, a woman's health is most important."
Although knowing they were only concerned about her because of Huo Shao Ting, Rong Dai still felt very warm and content.
"Thank you, mom and Mei Shu, and thank you Mrs. Wang for your hard work. But I'm fine, just a little weak. I'll be better after breakfast."
She tried her best to smile nicely. She really didn't want to make a big fuss over this little thing, that would be too affected.
"Sister-in-law, I have to call you out on this. When a woman should be affected, she should be affected. This body is yours. With your complexion like this, how can you work? If you're in pain, can you endure it?"
Huo Mei Shu immediately put down her chopsticks and looked at her very seriously and solemnly. Then she glanced at Huo Shao Ting.
"I've already talked to Uncle Jiang. You can go after you get better. He also needs to visit some old friends."
Huo Shao Ting had the final say. He wanted her to succeed, but not at the cost of her health.
Seeing her in so much pain last night, besides feeling distressed, there was little he could do.
He was even considering whether they should have children in the future. If a period already caused her so much pain, wouldn't giving birth take half her life?
Rong Dai felt warm inside. Thinking that Uncle Jiang said he was going to the crew today, looking like this she probably couldn't go. So she nodded and agreed, thinking she would call Uncle Jiang later too.
After breakfast, Huo Shao Ting went to work as usual, mother-in-law had signed up for self-cultivation classes, so she went out every day too.
Huo Mei Shu had basically finalized going abroad, she just had to go next year. So she still had half a year of vacation time left.
"Sister-in-law, I got you sanitary pads from my room last night, you're not allergic to this brand right? I only use this brand, I don't know if it suits you."
With just the two of them left in the house, Mrs. Wang and Li Shu had their own things to take care of, so Huo Mei Shu came over and asked.
Rong Dai's whole body immediately stiffened, as if glued in place by cement.
"What...what did you say?"
Last night, did Huo Shao Ting go to his little sister to get sanitary pads for her?
For a moment, Rong Dai really wanted to faint. It seemed she didn't hear what the little sister said.
"Sanitary pads, you're not allergic right? If you are, I'll go with you to buy another brand." Huo Mei Shu didn't think it was shameful at all for a man to help a woman with these things. It was the same as a man needing to buy condoms.
Rong Dai's cheeks were scalding hot. She couldn't imagine what kind of embarrassment it was for Huo Shao Ting, a CEO of a big company, to ask his little sister for sanitary pads for her sake.
She didn't want to continue talking about this. Last night was an unforgettable embarrassment.
"I'm not allergic. If you have time, can you go shopping with me?"
She quickly changed the subject.
"You're right. All my girlfriends have flown away with their boyfriends, leaving only me alone. It's rare you have time, sister-in-law. Let's splurge today!"
Huo Mei Shu immediately became excited. Who made her big brother give her 200,000 in just over half a month? She would be letting him down if she didn't spend it!
"I want to buy silk threads, embroidery backing, and since it's a thin quilt, there's also silk, preferably a sewing machine too."
A sewing machine, she had looked it up online, the modern magic device for making fabrics.
Some silk fabrics still required pure handwork, but she also needed to adapt to this world, not all silk fabrics had to be purely handmade.
Since she had come to this world, she should learn to enjoy its convenience. These were things she needed to learn, and it was also to avoid revealing flaws in the future.
