Chapter 67 - 69: Believing that Man Can Conquer Nature
"Miss... What’s more, our Xia Family’s current achievements are entirely reliant on the Nangong Family. If you oppose the Nangong Family, there won’t be any good outcome."
"That’s right!" Xia Xiaonuan finally nodded.
"So... the Nangong Family is bullying us with their power. One day, I will make the Xia Family strong!"
Yun shook her head: "No matter what, we have to face reality."
"Reality? I only believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way!"
Yun’s eyes flashed slightly, she said no more and placed the food beside Xia Xiaonuan, patting her shoulder before leaving the room.
...
Xia Xiaonuan slept all day at home.
In the middle of the night, she drowsily heard some noise. Nangong Yaoling was already lying on the bed, his presence enveloping her. Before she fully woke up, she was wrapped in his embrace.
Completely like a human pillow.
Xia Xiaonuan: ...
Feeling uncomfortable, she thought of pushing him away but then suddenly realized something.
Something was off.
She immediately reached out to turn on the bedside lamp and pushed Nangong Yaoling away to sit up.
"What’s wrong with you again?" Nangong Yaoling asked.
Without a word, Xia Xiaonuan rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
Looking at the stain on her pants, as expected... Xia Xiaonuan frowned.
She looked around, but there were no sanitary pads in the bathroom.
She had to clean up with tissues first.
After a while, Nangong Yaoling knocked on the door.
"Xia Xiaonuan, what’s wrong?" Nangong Yaoling called out loudly from outside.
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t respond.
"Xia Xiaonuan?" Nangong Yaoling knocked harder.
Although she had done everything that could or couldn’t be done with Nangong Yaoling, she still wasn’t familiar with him.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to speak up.
"I... I have a stomachache..." Xia Xiaonuan stammered.
"A stomachache? How could you have a stomachache? Did you eat something bad today?" Nangong Yaoling asked curiously.
"Oh... no!"
There was a moment of silence from outside the door. After a while, Nangong Yaoling asked again, "Xia Xiaonuan, do you want me to get a doctor?"
"No need, I’m fine!" Xia Xiaonuan was exasperated: "I just... just... it’s that time..."
Nangong Yaoling paused outside the door. Then, he immediately understood what was going on.
After all, he was an adult and had seen many women in the past.
But he deliberately pretended to be puzzled, "That time? Which one?"
Xia Xiaonuan: ...
"Speak up? Xia Xiaonuan, I’ll really call a doctor if you don’t!"
"No!" Xia Xiaonuan hurriedly said, "My period came..." Damn guy, he knew what it was and still teased her.
Xia Xiaonuan thought for a while and said, "Could you go buy me some sanitary pads?"
Standing outside the bathroom door, Nangong Yaoling’s face went completely dark.
"Don’t you... didn’t you have any before?" The usually domineering and cold Nangong Yaoling actually started to stutter.
"I don’t know, I’m not the old Xia Xiaonuan. Come on, Nangong Yaoling... just go!"
Nangong Yaoling: ...
"I’ll... I’ll ask Yun to go instead..."
"The supermarket is just downstairs, Yun has already gone to bed. What’s the big deal about a man buying sanitary pads for his wife? Nangong Yaoling, are you a man or not?!" Xia Xiaonuan angrily retorted.
Nangong Yaoling: ...
If it were other men, buying sanitary pads for their wives wouldn’t be a big deal.
