Chapter 181: One hundred and eighty-one Put me down!_1

Lei Guanghui and the widow Li from the neighboring village, everyone actually knew about their affair, but out of consideration for his official position, they still showed him some respect.

But that Lei Bo, he just couldn’t speak kindly. Widow Wu might be a widow, but she was not one to be bullied easily.

Village women, how many of them don’t have sharp tongues?

Especially the widows, with so many men eyeing them, how could they not be tough? Otherwise, they wouldn’t know how many times they would have cried.

Lei Bo almost passed out from anger because of Widow Wu’s words.

His face turned blue with rage, "You have the guts to say that again to me?"

"What are you doing, don’t bully a woman and her orphan child, it was you who insulted her first, and everyone heard it."

Seeing Lei Bo roll up his sleeves, looking like he was about to hit someone, Yang Yongxiang quickly tried to calm him down.

"That’s right, you can say what you want, but if you hit someone, that’s on you."

"Exactly, Widow Wu is not having an easy time either!"

Everyone sensed the situation was turning sour and shielded Widow Wu behind them, mediating with Lei Bo one sentence at a time.

In the end, with so many people against him, Lei Bo took a deep breath to suppress his anger, didn’t say a word, and turned his back to leave.

It was all thanks to his good-for-nothing father; now he couldn’t even lift his head, he had to go back and have a serious talk with Lei Guanghui!

...

Meanwhile, Gu Chen’s car had already stopped at the door. He got out of the car to open the door for Ji Pianran, then went back to the rear seat to bring down the things he had bought.

Gu Chen bought a lot, filling nearly half the car.

Seeing him carrying bags big and small, Ji Pianran walked over to lend a hand and tried to take some bags from Gu Chen.

Gu Chen couldn’t bear having his wife do the work, and retracted his arm.

"Don’t bother helping, I’ve got it. You go inside and rest."

Ji Pianran had just recovered from a serious illness and needed proper rest.

It made no sense to start working before even entering the house.

"No, that’s too much. Let me help you," Ji Pianran insisted.

There was so much stuff that Gu Chen would have to make four or five trips by himself, which was too much trouble.

As Ji Pianran spoke, she reached for the bag in Gu Chen’s hand, but he still didn’t want her to work.

He pulled back, "Really, I can manage."

Ji Pianran, who had initially felt just warm, struggled with Gu Chen over the bag of vegetables. As soon as she exerted herself,

She suddenly felt a rush of warmth in her lower abdomen.

She froze on the spot instantly.

This was terrible!

How could her period come at this time?

Ji Pianran always suffered from a cold uterus, especially after giving birth. She had used cold water during her postnatal care and since then, every period had been extremely painful and delayed.

Normally, it should have been at least a week later.

Why did it come today so suddenly?

She had no time to think further. With a blink, her face filled with panic, "I... I’ll go in first..."

Before she could finish her sentence, another warm flow came.

Ji Pianran was completely thrown into disarray.

Now she dared not move at all, really worried if she moved again, she would soil her pants.

She stood as if petrified, not even daring to retract the arm she had stretched out.

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Chen, noticing something was amiss with Ji Pianran, quickly showed his concern.

"I... I’m going inside," she said and attempted to walk toward the house. But because she was afraid of soiling her pants and having Gu Chen notice, her gait was very restrained, almost like a shuffle, taking small, difficult steps forward.

Seeing her awkward movements, Gu Chen had only one thought, that Ji Pianran’s illness was not yet fully cured.

There must be some problem!

He hurried over in two or three strides, took hold of Ji Pianran, and frowned deeply.

"Let’s go, we’re going back to the hospital!"

Ji Pianran; "????"

Seeing the nervousness in Gu Chen’s eyes, Ji Pianran finally realized that Gu Chen must have thought something was wrong with her health.

She pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with moisture as she looked at Gu Chen, embarrassedly saying, "I, I’m fine."

How could she be fine?

Could she walk like that if she was fine?

She must be uncomfortable somewhere!

"It’s all right, wife, listen to me, if you’re not feeling well we’ll go to the hospital, don’t worry about the money, you’re more important than money!"

Ji Pianran saw the determination on Gu Chen’s face and knew she had to be clear, or she would not be able to get into the house.

If she delayed any longer, her pants would indeed get dirty!

She swallowed, and in a small, embarrassed voice said, "I, I have my period..."

Although she was already a mother, saying the words "menstrual period" in front of Gu Chen was still somewhat embarrassing.

Don’t think it’s affectation—this is the year 2000 after all.

Even the people in the city are not open-minded, let alone those in the village; getting too close or chatting too much could lead to gossip.

This sort of thing is like a man telling his wife that he had a "wet dream."

It’s truly an undescribable embarrassment!

Seeing her face, which had just returned to normal temperature, flush red again, he instantly understood.

His wife was having her period!

Gu Chen patted his head as the realization hit him.

No wonder she was walking so awkwardly; she was embarrassed about staining her pants.

With that thought, he bent down and scooped Ji Pianran up into his arms.

Caught off guard by the sudden lift, Ji Pianran jolted.

She widened her eyes, her beautiful pupils filled with shock and astonishment.

Even her body involuntarily stiffened.

She had wanted to go ahead so that he wouldn’t see, and now he was carrying her. If she stained him too, it would be mortifying!

"You, put me down, you’ll get dirty," Ji Pianran said through gritted teeth.

Her voice trembled with nervousness, like a startled little deer.

Gu Chen’s voice rolled in his throat, firm and resolute.

"You’re overthinking it, you’re my wife!"

Why would he care about these things?

Which wife doesn’t have her period?

His voice carried an inexplicable sense of belonging.

Making Ji Pianran unconsciously calm down, she couldn’t help but reach out and wrap her arms around Gu Chen’s neck. Her head rested tightly against his chest.

Gu Chen’s clothes were not thick, but there were two layers.

No strong heartbeat was heard.

But that boundless sense of security seemed to be infused in his blood, flooding into his chest in an instant.

Ji Pianran nestled in Gu Chen’s embrace, her unique light fragrance emanating from the soft collar of her white sweater and seeping into Gu Chen’s nostrils.

Gu Chen’s lips were parched, and he looked down at her.

His gaze met her beautiful eyes, the light in her eyes fine and pretty, as if holding a handful of crushed stars.

Her face, flushed with shyness.

Because she was looking up at him, her pretty little mouth slightly open.

The scene was so beautiful it almost stopped one’s heartbeat.

Gu Chen moistened his lips, suppressing an urge, "Aren’t you in the middle of your cycle? Is this, early?"

Ji Pianran bit her teeth and nodded reluctantly, "Who knows, let’s go to my room first."

In such a situation, the only option was to go back to her room and discuss further.

Gu Chen nodded, carrying Ji Pianran toward the house.
