“Hmm… why are you only returning my call now? Were you resting earlier?”

“Yes.” Jing Haohao responded curtly, feeling as if something was lodged in her throat. It was incredibly uncomfortable. It took her a while before she said, “I was really tired, so I fell asleep as soon as I got back in bed. I saw your call when I woke up, so I’m returning it. I’m about to take a shower then.”

“Haohao, you’re such a lazy kitten, going to bed without even taking a shower. When we live together in a few days, I might complain about your messiness!”

Through the phone, Jing Haohao could hear Shen Liangnian’s cheerful laughter.

If it were in the past, she would blush, feel shy, and coyly berate Shen Liangnian for not being serious. But now, she doesn’t even know if she can escape from Liang Chen. She can’t muster her usual playful charm, and there’s a sense of sorrow in her heart. Would there be a time when no one would tease her or cheer her up as Shen Liangnian does now?

Jing Haohao desperately wanted to burst into tears over the phone, to tell Shen Liangnian that she’s about to be taken away by his good friend, his business partner, Liang Chen. But she couldn’t.

What difference would it make if she told him?

What could Shen Liangnian do to compete with Liang Chen?

As Liang Chen said, Shen Liangnian might be slowly crushed.

Jing Haohao swallowed hard, pushing back the sorrow lodged in her throat. She softly said into the phone, “Liangnian, let’s stop the jokes. Don’t stay out too late, get some rest. It’s not good for your health to sleep late or smoke so much. And don’t drink so much for your social obligations.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Haohao, we’re not married yet, but you’re already playing the nagging wife.”

As Jin Haohao held the phone, looking outside at the blurry night, she felt she would burst into tears if she kept talking. So she hurriedly uttered softly, “Liangnian, I’m going to hang up now, good night.”

“Good night.”

…

After hanging up, Jing Haohao did not take a shower as she said, instead she stood on the balcony for a while, then picked up her purse, headed downstairs to the underground parking lot, got into her car, and drove straight to a nearby hospital.

The hospital was quiet at night. She registered for an urgent gynecology appointment without having to queue, then saw the doctor.

The moment Jing Haohao saw the doctor, she didn’t wait for the doctor to ask her symptoms. She immediately said, “I haven’t had my period for more than a month, and I’m sure I’m not pregnant. It’s probably some hormonal imbalance that caused the menstrual disorder. Could you prescribe some progesterone for me?”

“Have you taken this before?”

“Yes.”

The doctor didn’t ask further, quickly wrote a prescription. Jing Haohao thanked him, then took the prescription downstairs to pay and pick up the medicine.

Progesterone is a type of hormone. Jing Haohao first came across this medication two years ago due to an unexpected incident. She was filming in a remote location, and due to the change in environment, she missed her periods for two months. Finally, she found time to visit a hospital and got prescribed this medication. After only three days of taking it, her periods came back.

She took note of this and looked up information online. Only then did she realize the drug was a prescription medication used to induce menstrual periods in women. After all these years, she never thought that this drug could still be useful to her at such a critical moment.

She couldn’t sleep with Liang Chen, and her birthday was only four days away… but her period wasn’t due for another ten days. The only solution she could think of was to take the progesterone to induce her period early. This way she could make sure she was safe on the night of her birthday…
