It was just that the lychee ice wine at the banquet today was too delicious, so she drank a few more glasses of it. Unexpectedly, her stomach started aching and her entire body was trembling from the pain. Her stomach was also uncomfortable, and she vomited everything she had just eaten.

Most importantly, this was Gu Zheng’s study. Usually, only Gu Zheng went in and out of the bathroom here. There were no sanitary towels here at all!!!

Qiao Xi sat on the toilet bowl with a dispirited expression and thought about what to do.

Her period this time was very heavy. If she did not have a sanitary pad, she would not be able to walk out of this door. However, there were no sanitary pads here…

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and called out tentatively, “Gu Zheng~”

“…” When Gu Zheng heard her voice, his heart skipped a beat. He could sense that Qiao Xi was slightly nervous and her voice was trembling a little, which made her sound slightly weak.

Qiao Xi cleared her throat and said gently, “Senior, can you do me a favor?”

The man was a little puzzled.

He was supposed to attend an important meeting today, but for the sake of attending the birthday banquet, he temporarily canceled it. However, he still had to do what he had to do. Hence, Gu Zheng had been working since he came back. He had just written down the last line when he heard Qiao Xi’s strange voice.

He thought about it for a few seconds, but the person in the bathroom could not wait anymore. A shy and trembling voice sounded.

“Gu Zheng~”

“…” The corners of the man’s mouth twitched slightly. “Mrs. Gu, you don’t have to be so… polite with me.”

Qiao Xi whimpered. “Ah Zheng, I’m your junior and also your wife. If I beg you for help, you won’t refuse, right?”

Gu Zheng was worried. What was wrong with her? Was she really sick? Or did she encounter some trouble in her job at the university?

Even if she encountered something, there was no need to say it through the bathroom door. As long as she said it, he could help her solve it.

He was just about to ask when he heard Qiao Xi say in a hesitant voice, “My… My relative is here.”

Gu Zheng asked in confusion, “Which relative?”

Qiao Xi said shyly, “Ah! It’s… Aunt Flo.”

Gu Zheng was puzzled. What was there to be embarrassed about when her aunt came?

That was not right! Where did she get an aunt? Her mother had already passed away many years ago, and she did not have any other siblings. Could it be that someone from Xue Liang’s family had come? It was possible for that person to be her aunt.

Gu Zheng said, “Alright, I understand.”

Qiao Xi instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Zheng had indeed figured it out with just a few words. There was no need to say anything else, so she asked happily, “Gu Zheng, have you really agreed to help me? Do you know what to do?”

Gu Zheng smiled.

What kind of favor was this? There was no need to beg him for such a small matter considering they were husband and wife. As long as she said a word, he could go and pick up her aunt himself.

The man nodded. “No problem.”

Senior was really good!

Qiao Xi was extremely excited and said anxiously, “Then, go quickly!”

Gu Zheng asked casually, “Where is she?”

…

Qiao Xi instantly choked, and the smile on her face instantly vanished. Her doubts carried a trace of confusion as she asked in disbelief, “What are you talking about? Who are you referring to?”

Gu Zheng’s expression did not change as he replied indifferently, “Didn’t you say that your aunt is here? Where is she now? I’ll go get her.”

Qiao Xi: “…”

Damn! She had forgotten that Gu Zheng never came into contact with women. How could he know what Aunt Flo referred to?

Could it be that Gu Zheng did not understand her at all and thought that her aunt was here?

She just wanted a sanitary pad. Why was it so difficult?!

Gu Zheng put on his jacket swiftly. “You’re not feeling well, so just wait at home. Since she’s your aunt, it’ll be better if I pick her up myself. It won’t look good if the chauffeur goes. You—”

“Gu Zheng!” Qiao Xi hurriedly interrupted him as waves of helplessness arose in her heart. “My aunt isn’t here. Argh! You don’t understand what I mean.”

The man’s face was filled with confusion, then he heard Qiao Xi say shyly, “The aunt I’m talking about isn’t a real person… It’s the Aunt Flo that visits women once every month…”

Gu Zheng stood on the spot and was instantly petrified.
