Chapter 85: How Strange She Is

Chapter 85

Rong Dai sat on the toilet with her legs already numb, Huo Shao Ting hadn’t answered her for such a long time that she felt extremely conflicted and anxious inside, the physical pain made her very uncomfortable.

She was about to use some toilet paper to deal with it first, take her phone to look it up, and this matter would be easy to handle.

"Rong Dai?"

Just as she started to move, she heard Huo Shao Ting knocking on the door. She immediately tensed up again, her gaze fixed steadily on the door handle, and said in a panicked, stuttering voice, "I...I'm here."

"Can I come in?" He stood outside the door and asked, holding one of her panties in his hand, the sanitary pad on it looked a little crooked.

As soon as Rong Dai heard this, her mind went blank immediately.

Let him in?

But...what other choice did she have now? It was her own carelessness that she didn't calculate the timing of this matter well.

"Y-yes."

She reluctantly agreed through gritted teeth, subconsciously wrapping the bath towel tightly around herself, but the bath towel wasn't very big, and she was sitting on the toilet, her two long, straight, flawless legs exposed, very eye-catching.

Huo Shao Ting was also very nervous outside the door. Hearing her reply, his heart inexplicably started pounding rapidly.

He was very clear that after passing through this door, he would see what was happening.

That inexplicable tension made him break out into a hot sweat on his back and palms. He had to twist the door handle several times before opening it.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Rong Dai quickly turned her head to withdraw her gaze, lowering her half-wet hair to stare at the floor, this was so embarrassing!

Rong Dai only felt like half of her body was soaking in icy water while the other half was immersed in magma. What was meant by fire and ice, she was experiencing it firsthand now.

This feeling was practically soul-crushing!

"Put these on first."

Huo Shao Ting's ears were also blushing badly, and the things in his hands felt scalding hot.

"Th-thank you."

Rong Dai's whole face was bright red, seeing the panties he handed over, she practically snatched them!

Thinking that he had gone to get a bathrobe, she hurriedly wrapped the bath towel tightly around herself. She had absentmindedly not even brought a change of clothes into the bathroom!

Vexed as she was, she still quickly flushed the toilet and let out the water from the bathtub.

When Huo Shao Ting came in with the bathrobe, the two looked at each other awkwardly. Still, he was the first to come over and put the bathrobe around her. "Go change first, I'll clean up the bathroom."

Rong Dai's face was burning red, not even daring to meet his eyes. She hurriedly nodded and escaped as if for her life.

After coming out, Rong Dai took a deep breath, seeing the several packages brought over by Huo Mei Shu from Huo Shao Ting. Going over for a look, she discovered one package was opened, with two failed experimental pads in the trash can, and two pairs of her panties on the sofa.

These panties were newly bought. Although she and the original owner had the same body, Rong Dai still didn't like sharing intimate articles with others. And when Huo Shao Ting had bought her clothes in the beginning, it was from the inside out, from head to toe.

Her face immediately turned crimson. She grabbed the panties on the sofa and the packs of pads, and went into the walk-in closet, not forgetting to bring her phone along.

Inside the walk-in closet, she hurriedly changed into loungewear, and frantically looked up information on her phone. Her heart finally relaxed quite a bit.

Looking at those exquisitely packaged pads, Rong Dai couldn't help but sigh inwardly that girls of this modern era were much more fortunate than ancient women like her, especially regarding feminine matters. Such convenient, sanitary and healthy products simply couldn't exist in her past life.

After all, cotton was an extremely important agricultural product in her past life. How could it possibly have been used for such things for women?

She had basically crammed all the knowledge about menstruation and pads, but the embarrassment in the bathroom was still fresh in her mind.

Just now...surely he didn't see everything clearly, right?

Thinking of this, Rong Dai's heart was in chaos. Worried yet vexed.

But the physical discomfort in her lower abdomen soon defeated her. The stabbing pains forced her to have to lie back down in bed.

Huo Shao Ting stood frozen in the bathroom, his whole being seemingly detached from his body. It wasn't until the water in the bathtub overflowed that he reacted, hurriedly cleaning everything up spotless.

The old Huo manor was very big, each person's room had an independent bathroom and study. The bathrooms were divided into wet and dry areas, the layout spacious.

As he passed by the sink, his footsteps paused for a moment as he looked towards the cabinet next to it. This cabinet usually stored some new bathroom supplies, and of course could also hold other things. He hadn't found what was needed in the bedroom just now, perhaps it was here.

Huo Shao Ting wasn't so far gone as to lose his reason because of the earlier scene. He was happy about his wife's changes, but some of her subtle oddities also made him feel doubtful.

He reached out and pulled open the drawer, seeing several packs of sanitary pads inside, as well as disposable panties for periods.

His gaze deepened. It seemed his wife had many things she was hiding from him.
