Chapter 220: In A Hurry
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the washroom, she saw red dots on her pants. When she saw them, her face flushed red in embarrassment. Her face was as scalding hot as the boiling kettle. Could Zhai Muchen have seen it? What was she even thinking about? He must have seen it. But...but maybe he did not know what it was?
Han Ruochen tried many means and ways to console herself. But as soon as she saw the stuff that Zhai Muchen had passed her through the space under the door, all of her thoughts disappeared at once. When Han Ruochen saw this, her face flushed bright red once again. It turned so red that blood could be seen dripping down from it. She looked at the clean underwear and the winged sanitary napkin and covered her face with her hands in shame.
Heavens... Why don’t you just kill her? It would have been better if the ground had split up and swallowed her whole! Han Ruochen closed her eyes, wishing that everything was just a dream. But she knew that it was not possible. She could only grit her teeth and put those things on. However, after changing her undergarments, she realised that her pants were still stained.
What about them?
"Xiao Ruochen, are you alright?" There was a knock on the door, and Han Ruochen jumped in the air. She realised that even if she stayed inside the restroom for the entire day, nothing good would happen. She could only suck in a breath and step out of the restroom.
Her face was burning red with embarrassment when she stepped out; however, Zhai Muchen did not say anything. He handed her his jacket and said to her, "Tie it around your waist... as for the rest of the things, don’t worry about anything else. Today, you’d better go back... and rest earlier, make sure to drink warm water and try to stay away from cold water. If possible, don’t go to the shore to collect seafood."
Han Ruochen’s head went lower and lower. She could feel steam coming out of her ears. The more she listened to Zhai Muchen’s remarks, the more ashamed she felt. The man was treating her as if she were some little teen girl who had just had her first period. She was so embarrassed that she could not say a word.
"Well, well... Brother Muchen, I will... I will head back home now." Even if there was something that Zhai Muchen wanted to say to her, Han Ruochen was not going to listen to him. She turned around on her feet and sprinted out of the house like a startled rabbit.
Han Ruochen was filled with regret. Why did she not pay attention to her dates? Even if her monthly cycle was not regular, she should have kept an eye on it. What an embarrassing situation! Sure enough. She was right, Zhai Muchen was truly her nemesis. Every time the two of them ran into one another, she would end up being embarrassed.
When Second Uncle Han saw her running out anxiously, he turned worried. What was going on? Why did his niece come running out of the mansion like she was being chased by a hound? He looked at Han Ruochen, whose face was pale, and could not help but hurriedly ask, "Ruochen, what’s the matter? Were you bullied by someone? Why did you come out of the mansion in such a hurry? Were you bullied?"
Even though he knew that the people of the Zhai mansion would never do such a disgusting thing, how could he not be suspicious when he saw his niece running out like she was being bullied?
"No, No... it’s nothing like that, second uncle." Han Ruochen shook her head and refused. She immediately said, "It’s nothing; I am just in a hurry."
"What do you mean by ’you are in a hurry’?" Second Uncle Han asked with a frown on his face. "Just look at you. You — and where did you get this jacket from?" He had nothing against Han Ruochen dating, but at the same time, he was worried that his niece would be abandoned. After all, who was Zhai Muchen, and who was Han Ruochen? Even if his niece was really good, Zhai Muchen was from the Zhai family. They had a lot of differences.
There was no way Han Ruochen would be allowed to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhai family.
After all, they had some criteria. The people from the Zhai family would never allow his niece to cross their threshold. How could he allow his niece to make this kind of mistake? What if Zhai Muchen used her and then left her? After all, he did hear that Zhai Muchen had a fiancée, who was supposed to marry him.
How could his niece even become a part of the Zhai family?
"Uncle, it’s not like what you think!" Han Ruochen was worried that her second uncle would misunderstand. She said in a low voice, "It’s my monthly cycle. It’s here."
Han Ruochen’s voice was so small that she sounded like she was mimicking a mosquito.
When Second Uncle Han heard her voice, he was also embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked everywhere but at Han Ruochen and said to her, "I..I see."
"Uncle, let’s go home quickly." Han Ruochen had some things that she could use at home; since she had dirtied her pants, she did not want to go anywhere.
"Yes, yes!" Second Uncle Han immediately turned on his feet and jumped into the van, just as Han Ruochen followed him inside the van as well. The two of them soon drove over to the village, and upon arriving at her house, Han Ruochen ran into her father, who seemed to be waiting for her.
"Ruochen—"
"Dad, just give me a few minutes," as she spoke, Han Ruochen hurried to the bathing room where she took off her pants and picked up the freshly laundered pants from the basket and pulled it on.
