"She won't be coming with me," Fu Yong said in a low voice. "After all, we are from two different worlds…"
Su Cheng and Yu Chidong were both stunned at the statement.
It was apparent to them that Fu Yong liked Hua Tang. However, the man in question went around with a long face and insisted that 'marriage is just a shell for him to hide in' and that he only had the responsibility of a husband to Hua Tang.
No one but Fu Yong himself believed that.
After a moment of silence, Fu Yong suddenly asked, "Do you know any gynecologists?"
The two of them looked at him with wide eyes.
Yu Chidong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Instead, he said in disbelief, "Fu Yong, you're amazing! Is our sister-in-law already with child?"
Fu Yong's face darkened, and he rolled his eyes.
Su Cheng frowned, "Why don't you just let Fu Yong finish?"
Fu Yong coughed lightly and said in a low tone, "I just want to know what I should get to help nourish and build up a woman's body?"
Yu Chidong couldn't stop himself any longer and laughed his head off.
Su Cheng was also in a daze and had no words for Fu Yong's absurdity. 'So much for 'we are from two different worlds.' That is all bullsh*t, isn't it?'
Meanwhile, Fu Yong's face darkened as he thought about Hua Tang.
During this period of time, Hua Tang's expression was sometimes filled with doubt and loneliness when she looked at him… He didn't understand what was wrong with her.
Just now, he suddenly remembered seeing a few packs of sanitary pads in the bathroom this morning… It was said that it was normal for a woman's moods to be erratic before and after her period.
So Hua Tang was cold to him because she was on her period?
He had seen her during her period before. She had curled up on the bed with a pale face. As a man, he couldn't relate to her pain, but he wanted her to feel better.
He looked at the two of them impassively, saying, "If you don't know, I'll ask someone else."
Yu Chidong patted his chest and chuckled, "Fu Yong, aren't you mocking me by saying this? There's no need to find someone else; I am an expert on the subject! I'll let you in on... my secret recipe!"
"Just give it to Hua Tang. Once she's had it, I guarantee she'll be horsing around… Ah, that's not right, she'll be—she'll be as healthy as a horse!"
Hua Tang was indeed on her period. She had a 'cold womb,' so her stomach hurt badly, and she couldn't go to work today. However, even at home, she didn't have a chance to enjoy her bed rest.
From the moment she woke up in the morning, she could smell the bitter stench of Chinese medicine coming from the kitchen. She struggled her way out of bed and walked to the kitchen door to see Mu Chi busy in the kitchen.
On the table was the breakfast he had prepared for her. There were burnt fried eggs that were bitter, blackened toast, and a bowl of porridge that more closely resembled rice… Cooking was hard for this man who had never been in the kitchen before.
Hua Tang leaned against the kitchen door frame and softly said, "If you can't cook, let me do it."
Fu Yong paused and then turned around and looked at her. "You're not feeling well. Go back and lie down after breakfast. Let me handle the work."
"What are you making?" asked Hua Tang, puzzled.
Fu Yong fumbled around the kitchen as he answered, "Get some rest. I'm making soup. Once it's done, I'll bring it in for you! "
Hua Tang's heart warmed, but a thought suddenly popped into her mind. 'Was he this considerate to his 'first love' in the past? How else did he know how to make soup?'
The smile on Hua Tang's face froze at the thought. In addition to the pain in her lower abdomen from standing for too long, she was even more upset.
Coincidentally, Fu Yong turned around to look at her.
Hua Tang glared at him and headed back to her room.
Fu Yong was confused. She smiled at him a second ago but glared at him the next. Women are scary during their periods!
At that moment, Yu Chidong sent a message asking him to come over; something had happened. Just as Fu Yong was about to inform Hua Tang he would be going out, there was a knock on the door.
It was Chen Jingjing. She heard that Hua Tang wasn't feeling well, so she took advantage of her time doing business outside the company to come and see her.
Chen Jingjing was surprised when the door opened, and she got her first look at Hua Tang's husband.
"You are…Mu Chi?" She had thought a man who served time for fighting would look more or less like a hooligan or even be depressed. However, the Mu Chi before her was tall and had a cold, chiseled face, making it hard to tell his emotions at a glance.
He exuded an air of power that made Chen Jingjing take two steps back.
"Yes. Are you Chen Jingjing?" Fu Yong asked in a low voice.
"Nice to meet you." Chen Jingjing chuckled.
Fu Yong shifted sideways to let her in.
When she entered the room, Chen Jingjing could smell the pungent smell of Chinese medicinal herbs stewing. She couldn't help but frown. "Is her condition severe? She still has to take medicine?"
Fu Yong answered, "She has a stomach ache that won't go away. I asked around for a prescription. They say the soup stewed from it will relieve some pain."
"Oh," Chen Jingjing nodded thoughtfully.
