"A packet for each?"

"Ten packs each!"

In the end, at the cashier's counter, Ling Qiao held a basket full of sanitary pads and was lining up to pay the bill. He felt uncomfortable all over and felt the eyes of his aunty and mother-in-law looking at him strangely.

"Two hundred and sixty-five dollars."

"There's no need to look for it." He put down the three hundred and left with the plastic bag. He had never shamed himself to such an extent, but for the sake of his beloved wife, he was willing to do so.

Shushu was stunned to see a large bag of tampons, but then immediately began to giggle. He couldn't stop laughing.

"You're still laughing, is it funny?" Ling Qiao felt like he was going crazy. He had a feeling that he wanted to lose his memories.

"No, no, no, I was just moved. I was still thinking if you would go in for a walk and come back empty-handed. I didn't expect you to buy so much. You've really attracted too much attention." Even if she did buy one, she would put it in her bag immediately after she bought it. She would never carry it around with her.

Seeing the smile on Shu's face, Ling Qiao felt much more at ease. He rubbed his nose and asked, "Is your husband someone who knows when to retreat?!"

"But hubby, I'm afraid this big bag can last for a year."

"One year? "How long will it last?" If he got pregnant this month, then he wouldn't need it from next month. It would be a waste to buy so much.

"Three years."

"Then slowly use it. After you give birth, use it again."

When she got home, it was still warm inside. She didn't feel cold even when wearing only a sweater. Shu Shu took the sanitary pad and went to the toilet. When she came out, Ling Qiao was already in bed. Warmth was also a type of happiness.

The dysmenorrhea was sudden, but this time it seemed more severe, more painful than ever before, and Shu Shu lay flat on her back, or on her side.

Ling Qiao got up and poured a water bag for her to hold on to, but it still could not be relieved. He went to make more brown sugar water and put in a few slices of ginger. She drank it comfortably, but it still hurt and made his pee.

Looking at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Ling Qiao gently caressed it with his large, warm hands. Usually, her relatives would come over to help her suffer, but they were not as amazing as they were today.

"Wife, why don't we go to the hospital?"

"There's no use in going to the hospital with dysmenorrhea."

"I told you not to eat spicy food and not to get cold, but you still didn't listen. Now you've tasted the bitterness, haven't you?!"

"Didn't you also eat?"

"It's not like I have any pain meridians!" After saying this, Ling Qiao felt that this sentence was very awkward.

Shu Shu weakly smiled. "Hubby, are you here for Eldest Uncle?"

"…"

"Hur hur, it's better if you tease me."

Ling Qiao's eyes lit up, thinking that he still had a big present that he hadn't taken out yet, "Wait, I'll go get something for you."

Thus, he put on his coat and went to the garage to get a brocade box. He was shivering with cold as he said, "I'm going to die from the cold. The temperature outside is -7 degrees celsius and the beams are filled with icicles."

"You idiot. I thought I was at home, but it turns out I was in a car. Can't you give it to me tomorrow?"

"I'm a man, what's there to be afraid of with this little bit of coldness …" As he spoke, he unconsciously shivered.

Shu-Shu warmed him up with the hot water bottle, then leaned over and hugged his cold body. Luckily, he had bought an extra length of night sanitary pads, so he didn't have to worry about leaks. It was funny to think about it. A tampon of 410 mm, she was not even as tall as four pieces combined. Ai, what a shame!

"What is it? Do you have to give it to me now?" Seeing that it was a square embroidered box, she was curious to know what was inside. The items Ling Qiao had given her were not far off.

Ling Qiao quickly recovered as she was hugged by his wife. He gently helped Shu Shu to his feet and gave her a cushion to lean on. He then turned on the headlight on the bedside lamp, which shone down on the two of them. He urged, "Open it and take a look."

She slowly opened the box, and the beam of the spotlight fell squarely on the sapphire, blinding her eyes. Surprise and amazement were not enough to describe her current mood, as she held a sapphire in her hand, a real sapphire.

She blinked and stared at the sapphire with rapt attention. "So beautiful …" she said in disbelief. She had always felt that diamonds, gems, crystals, and other rare minerals were no different from glass, but now that she saw a gem, she was surprised to see that it was actually a gem. The gem was condensed with a noble and mysterious power that could not be described with words, causing those who saw it to involuntarily sigh in admiration.

She remembered how, on the day of her wedding, Ling Qiao had put on her high-heeled shoes with a crystal inlaid on the top. She had even said mischievously, "What a big glass marbles." The shoes had been lying quietly in the shoe closet, and every time she went out to retrieve them, she couldn't help but laugh.

Right now, this sapphire was even more precious than that crystal. Its radiance was rich and reserved, giving it the air of a true king.

"I booked it last year, but tonight, oh no, I just got it last night. I wanted to come back and send you off, but when I saw you guys passing by a coffee shop, I forgot about it the moment I got busy."

"Silly husband, this gem can't cure my pain."

"Divide your attention, do you like it?"

"I like it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it if it's too expensive. It's not reliable either. What if it drops and disappears?"

"There are plenty of chances to wear it. If it falls, it's gone, just buy it again." Ling Qiao picked up the necklace and put it on her. That fair skin, that brilliant blue color, was coordinated and matched perfectly with her, making her collarbone even more sexy and enchanting. He foolishly said, "Madam Ling, you can only wear it when you're with me.

Shu Shu had an embarrassed expression. She couldn't see it herself, but she could see her own appearance imprinted into Ling Qiao's lustful eyes. She said, "Thank you, husband. I really like it …" After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then, should I give you something as well?"

Seeing Ling Qiao's doubtful and curious expression, she smiled slightly. Turning around, he dug out an item from the bed's bed. Clenching it tightly in her palm, she said as he sold it, "On the day of our wedding, you asked me for the item I asked for."

"What?" Who would still remember the day of their wedding? He swore that that wedding was definitely not his intention, so he regretted it whenever he wanted to.

He opened his palm, revealing a platinum ring. "Didn't you just curse at me to hand it over? Here, take it."

Ling Qiao picked up the ring, this ring was now completely meaningless to him. Back then, he had also randomly picked one to deal with. He spread out his palm and turned the gold ring on his finger, "The gold ring is still beautiful.

Perhaps this was heaven's will. As soon as Shu Shu put it on him, he would be unable to take it off.

Shu Shu did not hide the ring, but kept it here all the time. After she broke Ling Qiao and Osha's heads, she placed the ring on the bedside, then returned to Chun Mu Yuan and forgot about it. It was only today that she remembered that the ring was still there.

Putting away the jewelry, the two of them snuggled up together again. The pain from the pain from the dysmenorrhoea did not lessen, but Shu Shu's heart had an extra layer of perseverance.

On the eighth day of the new year, the big day of the Ling family gathering, although the weather outside was freezing cold, the weather inside was as warm as spring.

The Ling family's mansion was as good as new. The furniture such as the sofa and tea table in the hall had all been moved to the side corners. On both sides of the long table were a row of western-styled tables filled with wine and desserts.

Ling Wang was dressed in a bright red Tang suit, and seemed to be in high spirits. She and a few other elderly noble madams were sitting in a side hall, chatting about health care. As the host, Ling Zhi Wei and Hu Xin greeted guests in the main hall.

"Director Li, it's good that you came. Why did you return the gesture? "This is such a waste." Hu Xin said with a big smile and pulled her husband forward to welcome him.

"Happy New Year, it's just a small thing for you to give to this old woman as a tonic." Director Li placed the gift box to the side. It was already filled with gifts, and since he had come to visit, he naturally wouldn't come empty-handed.

Director Li held Ling Zhiwei's hand and excitedly said, "Old Ling, you've really enjoyed your early retirement. I really envy you, you know that the wastrel I am."

Hu Xin looked at the noblewoman and handsome young man behind him, smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, I was waiting for you." Hu Xin looked at the noblewoman and handsome young man behind him, smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, I was waiting for you.

"Haven't you changed at all? You're getting younger and younger."

"Oh, this is Changzhi, right? Is he married? I remember being the same age as our Ling Qiao. "

Without waiting for Lee Chang Zai to speak, Mrs. Li immediately interrupted, "Not yet. We don't even have the right to do business at home, how can we get married?"

"We'll get married first before we start a new business."

Mrs. Li's smile was a little stiff. "Haha, you're right, but we don't have the luck to drink tea from our wives …" "Hey, isn't that Ling Qiao? Zhang Zhi, go greet Ling Qiao. Young people should be talking with young people."

Ling Qiao heard someone call his name and looked towards the source of the voice.

Li Changzhi took a cup of wine from the long table and leisurely stepped forward with an unruly smile. "Ling Qiao, long time no see. I heard that you got married last year, I wish you a happy wedding. I hope you can accept the blessings of your late arrival."

Ling Qiao raised his wine cup slightly, raised his head and downed it in one gulp. Then, he indifferently said, "Thank you."

Ling Qiao didn't like Li Changzhi very much. He had once maintained a love rival relationship with him for many years, and this relationship seemed to have already become a habit. Even though his relationship with Tang Thirty-Six was no longer that of Li Changzhi, this love rival was still so detestable to him.

And Li Changzhi, too.

"Ling Qiao, when I first heard the news of your marriage, I thought it was you and Chaoqing. But then I thought, that's not right, he only returned to China at the end of the year, how could you possibly marry her? Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity that you were still unable to marry her in the end. "

Ling Qiao was extremely annoyed that someone was making up some grandiose words in his ear. This Li Changzhi was clearly ridiculing him. However, he wasn't affected by these provocative words. "You're wrong, marrying my current wife is my fortune."

Li Changzhi disdainfully smiled, "Oh? Is that so … Then find a day when you have a chance to let me meet my wife? "

"Is that necessary? I don't think I know you very well. " Ling Qiao saw Chen Jia Qian walk in from the doorway and turned his head over without hesitation. "Jia Qian, how come you're here just now …"

Li Changzhi suddenly felt cold as he glared angrily at Ling Qiao and Chen Jiaxi, who were chatting to the side. His fingers tightly gripped the wine cup, and the wine in the cup was like the anger in his eyes, seemingly about to spill out. Ling Qiao, you bastard, and you sacrificed so much for you, yet you say that marrying Liu Shu is your fortune. Heh, you're only so-so.
