Gu Zhendong was so angry he wanted to teach Lu Huan a lesson, but deep down he couldn't bear to. With a dark face, he said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Huan pursed her lips, deciding not to further erode the man's pride.

This time it behaved itself, lying quietly next to Gu Zhendong and falling asleep in no time.

The next day, Lu Huan felt uncomfortable in her stomach, with a slight ache and a soreness in her lower back. She was probably about to have her period and was feeling quite uncomfortable.

Lu Huan felt a sudden jolt in her stomach and jumped out of bed.

Such a big movement naturally woke up Gu Zhendong.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Huan clutched her lower abdomen, "My stomach hurts!"

She threw off the covers, too lazy to even put on slippers, and dashed into the bathroom.

Upon hearing the words "stomach ache," Gu Zhendong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly followed, asking, "Is it very painful? Should I take you to the hospital?"

Before Lu Huan could close the door, Gu Zhendong forcefully walked in, grabbed her wrist, and looked at her lower abdomen with a worried expression, his brows furrowed.

Lu Huan gave a blank look and said, "I just have a bit of a stomachache, it's nothing!"

"How can it be nothing? What if there's bleeding!"

"How did you know?" Lu Huan looked at him in surprise.

Her periods were always irregular, and Lu Huan couldn't even remember when she got her period. How did Gu Zhendong know?

Gu Zhendong frowned even more deeply; she was bleeding, yet she remained so calm.

To prevent her from hurting the child, Gu Zhendong picked Lu Huan up and carried her to the hospital.

Lu Huan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah?"

It's just my period, is it really necessary to go to the hospital?

Lu Huan shook her legs forcefully, "Put me down!"

In her struggle, she accidentally used too much force, causing her lower abdomen to sag even more, and bright red blood flowed out. Gu Zhendong's hand happened to be supporting her buttocks, and Lu Huan's pants were covered in blood, along with Gu Zhendong's hand.

Gu Zhendong's face paled for a moment, then he heard Lu Huan shout, "Gu Zhendong, put me down! I need to go to the restroom!"

Lu Huan was so ashamed and angry that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. This was just too embarrassing!

"What time is it? You're still refusing to go to the hospital!"

Gu Zhendong usually dotes on Lu Huan, and his voice is generally gentle. However, at this moment, considering her and the child, the man's voice suddenly becomes serious, and his face darkens.

Lu Huan was genuinely startled. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "It's just my period, there's no need to go to the hospital!"

"Why wouldn't it be necessary? You... wait, what did you just say!"

Gu Zhendong retorted coldly, but halfway through his sentence he suddenly realized what Lu Huan had said: "Auntie?"

He realized what was happening and looked at Lu Huan's flushed face. "Weren't you pregnant?"

Lu Huan gave a blank "hmm," and asked, "What, pregnant?"

With the bleeding continuing, Lu Huan had no time to listen to Gu Zhendong's explanation.

She patted the man's chest and urged anxiously, "Oh dear, put me down quickly! We can talk about it later!"

Gu Zhendong: ...

Upon learning that Lu Huan had her period and was not pregnant, the man let go of her hand in a daze. He watched as Lu Huan clutched her lower abdomen and scurried into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

There was still a little bit of red blood on his hands.

Gu Zhendong stared blankly. When a woman gets her period, it means she's not pregnant!

Inside the bathroom, Lu Huan sat on the toilet, looking at the blood-stained pants beside her while recalling what Gu Zhendong had just said.

After careful consideration, it became clear what Gu Zhendong meant.

Could it be that he thought she was pregnant and that's why he wanted to take her to the hospital?

Lu Huan took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and came out of the bathroom. Gu Zhendong was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. He didn't even notice Lu Huan walking right in front of him.

Lu Huan called out to him, and Gu Zhendong finally came to his senses, looked up at her, and asked hesitantly, "Are you really not pregnant?"

It took him an entire night to process the news of Lu Huan's pregnancy. Just when he was ready to be a good father, he was told that she had started her period. In an instant, he went from heaven to hell, and Gu Zhendong's mood plummeted to rock bottom.

Lu Huan sat down next to Gu Zhendong and shook her head firmly and confidently, "I've already had my period, how could I possibly be pregnant!"

"But I clearly saw your protruding belly last night..."

My gaze fell on Lu Huan's lower abdomen. It seemed that after just one night, her lower abdomen was noticeably smaller than it had been the night before.

Lu Huan followed his gaze and looked at her lower abdomen. She had to admit that since the school anniversary celebration, she had indeed been indulging herself too much, eating and drinking every day, and had developed a little belly, but it wasn't usually noticeable!

Lu Huan made an excuse, saying, "Maybe it's because I ate a lot last night, so my belly looks a bit big!"

"Did you eat a lot last night?"

"Yeah, we had a 600-yuan-per-person buffet last night! I ate a lot to make sure it was worth it!" Lu Huan was extremely annoyed. "Didn't you see I was practically leaning against the wall when I came out last night?"

Gu Zhendong: ...So he really misunderstood!

Lu Huan suddenly realized something and looked at him in surprise, "You've been acting strange since last night. You don't think I'm pregnant, that's why you want to sleep separately from me, do you? And you were so nervous just now, did you think I was going to miscarry?"

Gu Zhendong pursed his lips and nodded without denying it.

"I'm speechless!" Lu Huan was truly exasperated. "Why didn't you even ask me about something like this?"

"You're so carefree and easygoing, I thought you didn't even know yourself!"

"How could that be!" Lu Huan said without thinking, "If I were pregnant, would I not know? I'm the baby's mother, the person closest to the baby!"

"Besides, we always use protection every time we do it, so how could I possibly be pregnant! Look at you, you didn't even ask clearly before causing such a big misunderstanding. I was so upset last night, I thought you were disgusted by my figure!"

It made her both sad and angry, and her eyes even stung from crying.

Gu Zhendong: ...

He had indeed misunderstood the matter and made a huge blunder.

At the time, he didn't know what was going on. When he saw Lu Huan's protruding belly, he assumed she was pregnant. He was so overjoyed at the prospect of becoming a father that he didn't think about anything else.

Lu Huan said a few words, then felt another sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Gu Zhendong immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"My period cramps!"

"..."

Lu Huan's period pain was severe; her face turned pale, and her once pink lips lost their original color.

Gu Zhendong brought over a cup of brown sugar and ginger water. "Mom said that drinking this will make you feel a little better!"

Just by looking at the color in the cup, Lu Huan knew what it was!

She shook her head, not wanting to drink, but then a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen, and she shakily reached out her hand, "I'll drink!"

Fortunately, Lu Huan had no classes today, so she could stay in bed all day.

My period usually doesn't hurt much, but this time it's so bad, probably because I ate a lot of seafood at a buffet last night in order to get my money's worth.

Gu Zhendong frowned upon hearing this, "Eating so much cold food, who else would suffer if not you!"

Lu Huan gave a distressed look. "You were so worried about me just now, and now you're yelling at me!"

Someone really turned on her quickly after finding out she wasn't pregnant!

"Isn't it true that you ate raw and cold food knowing that your period was coming?"

Lu Huan puffed out her cheeks in grievance, "I never allow this, I just forgot for a moment!"

Last night's buffet was a complete waste of money; not only did I not get my money's worth, but I also suffered terribly.

Lu Huan tugged at Gu Zhendong's hand, "Honey, rub my belly for me!"

Gu Zhendong's hand was caught by Lu Huan, and she put it inside his clothes to touch her soft belly. His palm was very warm, and Lu Huan did not feel cold at all.

Gu Zhendong didn't dare to move, but Lu Huan looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Move a little!"

This was the first time Gu Zhendong had massaged Lu Huan's stomach. He didn't know his own strength and massaged it too lightly, causing Lu Huan to groan in dissatisfaction. When he massaged it too hard, Lu Huan cried out in pain.

After finally finding the right amount of pressure, Lu Huan gently massaged her stomach in circles, squinting her eyes and making comfortable sounds before quickly falling asleep.

Her satisfied expression is quite similar to that of her pet cat.

After Lu Huan fell asleep, Gu Zhendong withdrew his hand and moved his work from the study to the bedroom to handle it.

Lu Huan slept all afternoon and when she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Zhendong sitting on the sofa, working.

It's often said that serious men are the most charming, and that's undeniable.

Because at this moment, Gu Zhendong was indeed extremely charming.

Lu Huan suddenly remembered that she hadn't given the gift she bought yet, so she quickly got out of bed.

Hearing the noise, Gu Zhendong turned around and saw Lu Huan getting out of bed. "Awake?"

After taking a nap, Lu Huan's stomach felt less uncomfortable than before. She regained her energy and became more lively, hiding something behind her back.

Gu Zhendong's attention, however, was drawn to her feet. He frowned and asked, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

Knowing that Lu Huan was afraid of the cold, and with winter fast approaching, Yan Rong had already instructed the maids to lay a thick plush carpet in the bedroom, so that it wasn't cold to walk on barefoot.

"It's not cold!" Lu Huan plopped down on the sofa. "Besides, the heating's on!"

The cold started from the feet, so Gu Zhendong pulled over a blanket and covered Lu Huan's fair feet. "If your period still hurts, don't whine!"

"Who groaned!"

Lu Huan retorted defiantly, but after meeting the man's dark eyes, she pouted unhappily, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, I have something for you! Ta-da!"

Lu Huan happily took out a box from behind her back and handed it to Gu Zhendong, "Guess what's inside?"

"watch!"

"Huh? How did you know?" Lu Huan was extremely shocked; the box hadn't even been opened yet!

"It says on it that this brand specializes in watches."

Lu Huan: ...

Where Gu Zhendong was pointing, there was a very small but long string of English letters, which was the brand of the watch.

Yan Shi also mentioned that this brand of watches is very famous, so she specially took her to buy it.

"Oh well!"

Her lips twitched down; she had just been told the gift was right away, and her joy instantly vanished.

But then, she looked at Gu Zhendong expectantly, "Then hurry up and open it to see if you like the watch?"

Upon opening the box, inside was a classic men's watch.

Gu Zhendong's casual watches are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, so compared to his other watches, the watch that Lu Huan gave him suddenly seemed unremarkable.
