Suddenly Mu Mingchengâs mood dropped below freezing point. Was he that difficult to accept?
He reluctantly retreated a little and no longer pinned her down with his weight. The man asked with a frown, âWhat happened to you?â
How did this womanâs physical condition suddenly become so poor when he had yet to exact his revenge! Just a while a few days ago within that dim room, the girlâs strike against him was swift and skillful, without a trace of weakness.
Before Gu Jin could slip in unconsciousness, the sound of a manâs voice gradually pulled her back to her senses. She woke up to a sharp aching pain in her lower abdomen.
Gu Jin resisted to urge to groan in pain, then faintly stared at the firm arms that held her steady before shifting her gaze to the handsome man.
Such a face was truly alluring, but a beautiful appearance could not arouse her interest if whoever owned it was a devil.
âMaybe sheâs in pain,â Mu Mingcheng thought.
Meanwhile, when Gu Ji heard his earlier question, she knew that he was confused with her situation. Even in her original world, most men werenât good at surmising the difficulties of women. She sneered and reprimanded him sharply, âMy relatives are here. Would you mind letting go of me first?â
âYour relatives?â Mu Mingcheng didnât bother to budge, and instead, his meaningful smile deepened. âIs Miss Gu treating me as a fool?â
âOh.â
Gu Jin rolled her eyes at him when suddenly, she felt pressure in her lower abdomen.
Gu Jin froze.
This familiar sensationâ¦
The situation didnât allow her any time to throw a tantrum. Instead, she could only close her eyes, swallow her embarrassment, and say through gritted teeth, âBelieve it or not, Iâm on my holiday (ä¾å).â**

(T/N: these chinese characters ä¾å both mean a girlâs âmenstruationâ AND a âholiday/vacationâ so the man has to interpret which one sheâs talking about)
Mu Mingcheng wasnât familiar with the phrase ârelatives came to visitâ but when it comes to a girlâs âholiday,â any normal man would know what it means.
Mu Mingcheng didnât expect the word ârelativeâ to refer to this. His body turned stiff and his face darkened. âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â
Although he used a scolding tone, there was a tinge of warmth beneath his words and his mood had improved.
Gu Jin looked up at him as if he had lost his mind.
Did he not understand me and actually believed that her menstruation = an actual legal holiday?
Mu Mingcheng avoided her disbelieving eyes as he loosened his embrace and rubbed his nose

Gu Jin struggled walking with her high heels, but she could only endure her pain as she supported herself on her way to the dressing room.

She vowed to never again wear any heels higher than six centimeters in her life!
The small backpack she left in the locker room carried a spare feminine pad that she habitually carried with her just in case.
After tidying up her clothes and calming down her sour mood, Gu Jin finally walked out of the dressing room.
Sure enough, Mu Mingcheng still hadnât left the place.
Just when she had stepped out of the building, the man turned around and their eyes met. The atmosphere felt embarrassing for a moment.
âMr. Mu, letâs be frank.â Gu Jin slung her backpack on her shoulder and suddenly looked up at him with a smile. Her pale face was as attractive as a fresh spring blossom, as she continued on to say, âA man as outstanding as Mr. Mu must have met countless wealthy people along with many kinds of riches; Iâm afraid that my cheap jade bracelet isnât worthy of your eyes.â
Mu Mingcheng was surprised once again at how calmly she composed herself, but this only provoked his interest even further. A smart woman could trigger a stronger sense of conquest for a man. His eyes flashed underneath his golden spectacles as he waited to see what else she had to say.
