"No, don't overthink it," Ye Wan said, gently tapping her younger brother's straight nose.
"You should find a boyfriend. I heard the nurses say that if you wait too long, all the good ones will be taken. So, you need to act fast, Sister!"
Ye Wan was exasperated. "What's going on in that little head of yours! Stop thinking about these useless things and rest well to recover for your surgery."
"I know," Ye Cheng immediately nodded obediently.
Ye Wan glanced at the time. Eight minutes had already passed. She had only exchanged a few words with her brother. She hurriedly instructed him a few more times and then left.
Ye Cheng couldn't even get her to tell him a story, and Ye Wan felt a little unhappy.
On the way back, a light rain began to fall, and the weather turned noticeably cooler. Passing by a convenience store, Ye Wan asked the driver to stop. She needed to buy something.
Gu Yun Ting grabbed her arm and asked, "What do you need to buy?"
"Just something I need. I'll be back quickly." Ye Wan wanted to buy a pack of adult diapers, fearing that sanitary pads wouldn't be enough for the next couple of days.
Gu Yun Ting pulled her back again. "Let the bodyguard buy it."
It was too cold outside, and her body wasn't suited for the chill. The doctor had warned her not to catch a cold.
Ye Wan looked at him awkwardly. "No, I have to buy it myself."
How could she let a bodyguard buy something as private as adult diapers?
Gu Yun Ting frowned. Ye Wan had no choice but to lean in and whisper what she wanted to buy.
"Buy what pants?" Gu Yun Ting looked at her, puzzled.
The bodyguard, hearing that he was needed to help buy something, was already listening for instructions.
"Pull-up pants for adults!" Ye Wan repeated, her face flushing.
Gu Yun Ting, "?"
What was that?
"Oh, it's what girls wear during their period! An upgraded version of sanitary pads! I'll be back in a flash." Ye Wan felt this man was truly unbearable. He insisted she say out loud something so private, and then she had to explain it to him. She was so embarrassed she could dig a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.
She was pulled back by Gu Yun Ting again. Ye Wan, "..."
"You stay put. I'll go buy it!"
Ye Wan looked at him in shock, thinking she had misheard. What did he say? He was going to buy it for her? To buy female sanitary products?
Gu Yun Ting had already demonstrated with his actions that she hadn't misheard. He pushed open the car door and got out. The bodyguard also got out and asked, "Young Master, what do you need? I can go buy it."
"You're not needed. Get back in," Gu Yun Ting said, then strode towards the convenience store. How could he let another man buy something so personal for her?
The bodyguard scratched his head. What exactly did the young master need to buy? He had bought everything before. Why did he need himself now?
As Gu Yun Ting walked into the convenience store, the cashier, at the moment she looked up, was stunned. She suspected she was seeing a god descend...
"Wel... welcome," the cashier stammered, her face blushing.
"Where are the items for menstrual periods?" Gu Yun Ting asked, his voice even deeper and more pleasant, capable of making ears pregnant.
"In... in the corner at the very back," the cashier pointed, stuttering. As he turned to walk away, the cashier couldn't help but cover her rapidly beating heart. Heavens, she felt like there wasn't enough oxygen around her!
Gu Yun Ting's tall figure navigated through the shelves to the innermost one. The entire shelf was stocked with female sanitary products. Gu Yun Ting's gaze swept across them but he couldn't find the pull-up pants Ye Wan mentioned. He did find something called "safety pants." The other shoppers in the store also looked over. Gu Yun Ting randomly grabbed two packs and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a figure blocked his path. Gu Yun Ting looked down. It was a short... middle-aged woman!
"Excuse me, please move aside." Gu Yun Ting spoke, suppressing his embarrassment.
