"Should I get a woman to help you buy it?" Beichen Rui patiently coaxed, showing an unusual amount of patience towards this little woman.
"No, I don’t want that." Ye Xinluo refused without a second thought.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Beichen Rui gave in, sighed, released her, and picked up the coat on the seat, draping it over her shoulders.
It just happened to cover the bloodstain on her skirt. After doing all this, he held her and walked outside, "Let’s go, I’ll help you buy it."
Hearing this, Ye Xinluo was stunned and her slightly pale face remained still as she looked at him, "What did you say? You’re really going to help me buy it?"
"Yes. Let’s go back first."
...
In the car, Ye Xinluo sat on the seat uneasily. This was a luxury car she couldn’t afford even with a lifetime of her salary, what if she dirtied it?
Just as she was about to say something, she saw Beichen Rui glance around the road; there was a supermarket not far away.
"Wait for me here, I’ll be right back."
After speaking, he walked toward the supermarket.
Ye Xinluo sat in the car, dumbfounded, watching him cross the road and walk towards his destination.
Inside the supermarket.
Beichen Rui stood alone in the women’s product section, staring at the shelves full of a dazzling array of items, and for a moment he was at a loss.
The shelves had all sorts of brands, and he didn’t know which one to pick... he had left in such a hurry he hadn’t asked for details.
He stood there, dumbfounded. Many passing customers gave him strange looks, which he treated as if they were viruses to be quarantined.
The store clerk, seeing him standing in front of the shelves without picking anything, thought he was embarrassed, and chuckled quietly. She took a few steps forward and said, "Sir, what brand did your wife use before?"
Beichen Rui replied coldly, "I don’t know, it’s my first time buying."
Upon hearing this, the clerk smiled, "We have many brands here, both for day and night use. Which one do you need?"
Beichen Rui: "..."
Could he say he didn’t know? Wasn’t it just something women used? Why was it so particular?
He cleared his throat and spoke in a cold voice, "Which one... is better?"
"The better ones are these ultra-thin breathable ones... and this one with extended absorption." She handed him a few brands, and Beichen Rui accepted them with a dark expression, intending to leave.
"Sir, those were all for day use, won’t you get some for night use?"
His footsteps paused, and he turned his head, his face frighteningly dark, regretting his momentary soft-heartedness in agreeing to the little woman’s request.
His face cold as if someone owed him millions, he asked, "Which ones?"
Startled by his grim expression, the clerk pointed dazedly at a few on the shelf.
By the time Beichen Rui reached the checkout counter with the items, his face had darkened to the point it seemed water might drip from it.
Although many were curious about what he was buying, upon seeing his expression, they couldn’t help but look away.
Returning to the car with a stormy demeanor, he handed the bag to her.
Ye Xinluo took it, glanced inside, and her eye twitched fiercely... This one, two, three... so many, it could last several months!
Noticing his darkened face, she ultimately said nothing. Upon returning to the villa, Ye Xinluo ran straight to her room without looking back.
She found a change of clothes in the dressing room and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, half an hour had passed. Her lower abdomen still ached slightly, and after drying her hair, she lay down on the bed to rest.
