Chapter 33: Pretending To Be On Her Period

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In order to avoid certain marital obligations and not to arouse Lu Wanggui’s suspicion, Xiang Xiaoyuan could only pretend to be on her period. In this way, no matter how exciting the new marriage was, Lu Wanggui would not be a beast that would go through bloody battles..

In Xiang Xiaoyuan’s heart, Lu Wanggui was the most difficult boss to deal with. She might not be able to convince Lu Wanggui with just her pads, so she put a layer of foundation on her lips to make her complexion look paler.

After Lu Wanggui came out of the bathroom, he went to the cloakroom to change into a set of black and gray pajamas and walked straight to the rocking chair not far away.

He sat in the rocking chair and looked at his phone with his head lowered. He had no intention of getting into bed, nor did he have any intention of talking to her. Xiang Xiaoyuan scratched her head, and her gaze drifted to him from time to time.

The position of her sanitary pad was so obvious that Lu Wanggui should be able to see it, right? But he didn’t seem to have raised his head!

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it and suddenly thought of something very important… well… she heard that after a man turned 30, his abilities would decline in certain areas. Lu Wanggui was already 39 years old, so his abilities would decline even more, right?

So… Lu Wanggui couldn’t do it?

If that was really the case, that would be great.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, who thought that she had discovered the truth, relaxed her brows. Even her breathing became much lighter.

On the other side, Lu Wanggui came out of the bathroom and found that there was an additional person in the room. Xiang Xiaoyuan was nestled under the blanket. Her big eyes were rolling around, and she was on guard. She even glanced at him from time to time. She thought that her movements were concealed, but in fact, he could see everything clearly.

So… what was this woman trying to do?

After making sure that Lu Wanggui was not a threat to her, Xiang Xiaoyuan stretched comfortably and was ready to sleep. However, when she raised her head, her eyes met Lu Wanggui’s.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

She was not sure if Lu Wanggui had seen her smug face.

But it did not matter, she could pretend!

Thus, under Lu Wanggui’s gaze, Xiang Xiaoyuan slowly put her arm on her stomach, bent her back, frowned, and groaned softly as if she was in unbearable pain.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Wanggui stared at her for a while, his gaze sweeping across her hand that was clutching her stomach and her pale lips.

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled weakly at him, and didn’t immediately say that she was on her period. In fact, she wasn’t sure how close Lu Wanggui and the original owner were, and she wasn’t sure if Lu Wanggui knew about the original owner’s menstrual cycle. In order to ensure that she did not step on a mine, she tried her best to be ambiguous when she answered, “My stomach is a little uncomfortable. It might be my period. I don’t know why, but recently, it hasn’t been very regular.”

In this way, when this body’s period really came, she would not be caught.

To Xiang Xiaoyuan, it was quite shameful to discuss menstrual issues with a strange man. So much so that after she said this, she lowered her head. She did not see the shocked expression on Lu Wanggui’s face when she finished speaking.

Lu Wanggui had experienced all kinds of experience in his current position. No matter what he faced, he could guarantee that he wouldn’t change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed. However, today, his expression seemed to have gone out of control, and he couldn’t help but reveal a “surprised” expression.

He was really curious about what Xiang Xiaoyuan was trying to do.

He had clearly reached an agreement with her before, declaring that they were husband and wife to the outside world, and treating both of them as guests and not disturbing each other. He took care of her out of a promise, and the two of them knew this very well.

But who could explain to him why she seemed to have changed after he came back from a business trip?

Thinking of this, Lu Wanggui fixed his gaze on Xiang Xiaoyuan, as if he wanted to see through her.

He was silent for too long, and the gaze above his head was too intense and oppressive. Xiang Xiaoyuan had no choice but to raise her head. The moment she moved, Lu Wanggui had already sorted out his emotions and regained his usual calm expression. He asked, “Does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Do you need a doctor to come over?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

Wouldn’t she be exposed if the doctor came over? !

“No, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I just need to rest for a while,” she softly refused.

Fortunately, Lu Wanggui did not continue to pester her. He hummed and then returned to his original chair.

Xiang Xiaoyuan relaxed her body for a second and allowed herself to sink into the soft bed. The silk felt warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It was smooth to the touch, so comfortable that it made people drowsy.

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyelids gradually sank.. The next second, the phone that she placed by the bedside buzzed and shook away her sleepiness.
