Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 408 I Have Lost Too Much Blood

Yu Zheng put the lid on the pot and turned off the gas.

The place looked like a battlefield after a chaotic fight, with ingredients scattered everywhere. You Lifen was extremely disheveled, more exhausted than filming a martial arts drama. When she saw her savior, she threw away the spatula and plunged into his arms, "Yu Zheng, you scared me to death, boo hoo... I thought I was going to be burned alive!"

Yu Zheng dragged her out of the living room. He reached out to her: "Hand it over."

You Lifen cried pitifully, "What?"

"The keys."

You Lifen played dumb, "What keys?"

Yu Zheng directly dumped the contents of her bag onto the sofa, revealing two or three identical keys.

Yu Zheng picked up the keys and asked her, "When did you make these? How many more do you have hidden?"

You Lifen refused to say, "Why are you so fierce? Consider that I cooked for you..."

"It’s fine if you don’t tell me; I’ll change the locks tomorrow."

Yu Zheng stuffed her belongings back into her bag, "Alright, you can leave now."

You Lifen clung to the sofa, "I’m not leaving, I have nowhere to go. My brother will beat me if I go home, boo hoo..."

Yu Zheng showed no sign of softening. He lifted You Lifen up, but she wrapped her legs around his waist, "I’m not leaving. I bought a lot of stuff in the fridge. I have to eat it all before I go, otherwise, it’ll be such a waste."

Yu Zheng said, "I haven’t even counted today’s cleaning fee with you yet. We’re even."

You Lifen saw he really was going to be so heartless. "Yu Zheng, you can’t treat me like this. If I get kicked out, it’s definitely going to hit the news." She was crying miserably.

Yu Zheng pulled her down, but You Lifen, not being as strong as him, clung to his leg instead, frowning, "I don’t feel well, my stomach hurts."

Her face turned pale, looking quite genuine.

Yu Zheng wasn’t going to be fooled by her. This woman had been in the entertainment industry with superb acting skills, "Stop acting, just leave, I can’t get entangled with you."

Even though Xiao Yu hadn’t reached that level of feelings for him, he couldn’t let another woman replace her. It wouldn’t be fair to anyone.

You Lifen felt a warm trickle in her lower abdomen. She clutched her stomach, "I’m not lying, I think... my period just started."

Yu Zheng was stunned for a moment, what period?

You Lifen bent over and rushed to the bathroom. She was wearing a white skirt, and Yu Zheng noticed red stains on the back of it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Wiping his face, he thought, what kind of mess is this?

You Lifen sat on the toilet to check. Oh my god, perhaps due to eating too much spicy food, the flow was particularly heavy this time.

She winced in pain, "Yu Zheng, help me find a pad."

Yu Zheng looked incredulous, "You want me to find that stuff?"

"What else can I do? How long do you expect me to sit on this toilet?"

Yu Zheng had no choice. He rummaged through her bag, finding nothing but cosmetics. Standing outside the bathroom door, he said, "There’s no pad...ahem."

You Lifen weakly replied, "Then you go buy it for me."

Yu Zheng punched the door, "What?"

You Lifen nearly fell off the toilet; the shock nearly caused a hemorrhage. She clutched her belly and yelled, "I was supposed to get it the day after tomorrow, but you scared me into getting it early. I don’t care, you’re responsible."

Yu Zheng was enveloped by dark clouds. Scared into getting it early?

This girl’s logic was really something.

Yu Zheng suppressed his volcanic temper. Besides going to buy it, what else could he do?

Damn it, where had he even bought such things before?

He said, "Wait a moment." There was a supermarket downstairs.

You Lifen said, "I need both daily and nighttime pads, ultra-thin ones. Cotton won’t do. My underwear is dirty, you need to buy me new ones. And bras too, the style should be..."

Yu Zheng couldn’t listen anymore. Was he out of his mind when he brought You Lifen back?

He desperately tried to calm down, "You Lifen, no need to buy bras. You’re going back tonight, go wherever you want!"

You Lifen quickly compromised, "Alright, no need for bras, but I must have new underwear. Any style will do, and any pad is fine. Is that good enough? Don’t kick me out, I’m really in pain, boo hoo boo hoo..."

Yu Zheng felt his head was going to explode from her whining. He grabbed his phone and keys and went out, finally, it was peaceful.

You Lifen wasn’t acting; she never took bookings during her periods, needing to lie in bed to recuperate.

Yu Zheng went down to the supermarket, heading straight to the personal care section. Seeing no one around, he quickly grabbed a few packs of pads into the basket.

It felt like he was doing something shady. He grabbed the items and swiftly left that aisle, uncomfortable. After a few steps, he stopped to study the packaging, comparing daily and nighttime pads—what was the difference?

He read through them all, worried about buying the wrong ones, and returned for a few more packs of different brands, hiding them under some towels, and then leisurely went to pay.

Nearing the checkout, he remembered the underwear and cursed under his breath, "Women are so much trouble."

Returning to the clothing section, he found no women’s underwear. Blushing, he asked an employee stocking shelves, and the lady led him to the item with a smile, "Buying for your wife, huh? Oh, what a good man!"

Yu Zheng’s ears burned red; he didn’t bother to explain. Grabbing two sets of women’s underwear, he thanked the lady and headed to check out.

Placing the basket at the counter, the cashier, upon seeing a handsome guy, flirtatiously scanned the towel’s barcode, "Handsome, your towel..." Uncovering a bunch of women’s items, her face turned green.

She looked at Yu Zheng, shifting from admiration to thinking he was a pervert.

The customers in line behind him gasped, "Wow, that’s a lot! Are the pads on discount?"

Yu Zheng felt uneasy. To prove he wasn’t a pervert, he blurted, "They’re for my wife."

The cashier regretted, realizing he belonged to someone else. Oh, good husbands were always someone else’s!

"That will be 714 yuan. Cash or card?"

Yu Zheng scanned the payment code with his phone, took two big bags, and left the supermarket in big strides.

He returned to the apartment with a sullen face. You Lifen was truly his nemesis; he’d never been so embarrassed in his life!

You Lifen was lying in the bathroom, weak as a withered plant. Yu Zheng knocked and tossed the bag inside, "Pick yourself."

You Lifen saw the bag contained daily and nighttime pads, even liners. She felt a bit warmed at heart. He seemed harsh, but actually quite thoughtful.

After taking a hot shower and changing into the new underwear, though unfamiliar with budget brands since she was used to luxury ones, she didn’t mind since he bought them.

Wearing his bathrobe, she came out, fearing Yu Zheng would kick her out, and dramatically lay on the sofa, "I’m really in pain, can’t walk, I’ve lost too much blood."

Yu Zheng’s face was full of confusion. Could women’s periods really hurt that much?
