Chapter 373: How Many Girlfriends Do You Have?
Before Gu Zheng could speak, Qiao Xi said with a trembling and shy voice, “Do you understand now? I’m asking you for a favor because I want to ask if you can help me get… sanitary pads?”
Gu Zheng: “…”
The corners of the man’s mouth twitched. “Where?”
Qiao Xi replied anxiously, “There’s a pink box under the cabinet in my room. Just take one.”
Gu Zheng did not hesitate at all and went to her room. A few minutes later, he returned to the study. “There’s none left.”
“Huh?” Qiao Xi was instantly stunned! It couldn’t be so coincidental, right?!
“Really? I usually put them in that box? Not a single one is left? Why are they all gone? What a coincidence, haha…”
She laughed dryly, looking very awkward. Gu Zheng also realized that things were troublesome now.
However, before he could speak, Qiao Xi begged. “Gu Zheng…”
The corners of the man’s mouth twitched slightly. He felt the veins on his forehead jump. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Immediately after, Qiao Xi suddenly said in a flirtatious tone, “Dear Senior~ Cutie Ah Zheng, can you help me buy some? There’s a supermarket nearby. You can drive there and come back. It’ll be quick!”
Gu Zheng thought for a moment. “Why don’t we get Song—”
“No! We can’t get Song Shiyu to go!” Qiao Xi interrupted in horror.
“It won’t be good for him to do this kind of thing! Besides, Song Shiyu is too talkative. If news of this gets out, I won’t be able to live in Longwan Residential anymore! I’ll be very embarrassed as Mrs. Gu!”
Qiao Xi retorted righteously, “If you get Song Shiyu to buy it, I’ll ignore you! I want you to buy it! Are you going or not?!”
Gu Zheng was stunned for a few seconds before sighing helplessly. “…”
He knocked on the bathroom door, then pushed the door open a crack. He closed his eyes and walked in, then placed a box on the sink beside him.
The man turned his face away to hide his red cheeks. His voice was hoarse. “Wait, I’ll be back soon.”
Qiao Xi’s face was red as she hummed softly. After he left, Qiao Xi reached out to take the box. She opened it to see that it was her phone and some wet tissues.
He was probably afraid that she would be afraid alone. She would feel more at ease with her phone.
Qiao Xi was slightly touched.
…
Longwan Residential was surrounded by high-end supermarkets. They needed membership cards, and the prices were high, so there were not many customers.
After Gu Zheng entered, he walked straight to the sanitary pad section and encountered difficulties.
President Gu, who could guide the way in business wars, was now stumped by the issue of choosing sanitary napkins.
W-Which one should he buy?
At this moment, the shop assistant walked over. “Hello, Sir. May I help you? This is for night use and also for day use. What’s the length you’re looking for? If you’re not too sure, why don’t you buy one of all kinds? Using them up shouldn’t be a problem.”
Gu Zheng nodded and looked at the shelves in front of him. He then said a shocking statement, “Then get them all for me.”
The shop assistant was stunned for a few seconds before her eyes widened. Buy them all?
She looked terrified and asked in confusion, “How many girlfriends do you have?”
He was living in Longwan Residential and was so handsome. He was really a domineering president in real life. He must have many women by his side!
…
Ten minutes later, Qiao Xi tidied herself up and walked out of the bathroom.
Gu Zheng had already instructed the butler to boil chicken soup and prepare red date ginger water. She felt warm after drinking a cup.
When Qiao Xi saw Gu Zheng, her face instantly flushed red as she said with embarrassment, “Gu Zheng, when you went to buy that, no one laughed at you, right?”
Gu Zheng suddenly recalled the shop assistant’s words and was stunned for a few seconds. He replied indifferently, “No.”
Qiao Xi observed his expression and asked probingly, “You won’t be unhappy, right? I didn’t have a choice either! I can’t let others buy it for me!”
Actually, she was a little pleased when she ordered Gu Zheng to buy sanitary pads. She had always thought that it was very amusing to have a guy do that, but after thinking about it, this matter might be unprecedented for Gu Zheng.. It was more troublesome than any business war.
Chapter 374: Who Said That President Gu Doesn’t Know How To Be Romantic?
Qiao Xi smiled in embarrassment. She did not expect Gu Zheng to raise his eyes in confusion. “Why would I be unhappy?”
“I… I told you to buy that…”
“I was just doing you a small favor. What’s there to be unhappy about?” Gu Zheng said casually, “But there’s something I don’t understand.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “Hmm?”
“You weren’t feeling well. You should have known that your period had arrived when you were going to the bathroom. Why didn’t you tell me immediately?” Gu Zheng asked.
Qiao Xi’s face flushed red as she stammered, “I-I was thinking of another way to deal with it. I didn’t want to trouble you.”
The man turned his face away. “Let me know if something like this happens again in the future.”
His expression was unnatural, and his ears turned red. “We’re husband and wife. You don’t have to be shy. I’ll help you. I won’t be unhappy.”
Qiao Xi muttered to herself, “But I asked you to buy that, and you…”
“We’re both adults. We’re husband and wife. There’s nothing to hide. Besides, menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon in a woman’s body. I don’t think it’s embarrassing to buy sanitary pads for you. As long as you need something, I’ll get it for you.”
Gu Zheng looked at his watch and said indifferently, “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”
Qiao Xi’s lips trembled slightly, and her heart was moved.
Who said that President Gu did not know how to be romantic? Just a few words were enough to make a woman fall for him1 Moreover, he had a handsome face and was so passionate. Which woman could take it?!
Many chauvinistic men hated buying sanitary pads for women. They even thought that women on their period were dirty, but Gu Zheng was different. He thought that everything was normal and even very considerately prepared red date water for her. He gently told her to rest as well.
Qiao Xi returned to her senses from being touched and was about to return to her room when she saw the empty room beside her filled with a few large boxes.
She looked at the words on the boxes and was silent for a moment. Her eyes widened.
“…” Damn! Could it be that Gu Zheng bought all the sanitary napkins from the supermarket?
…
The next day.
Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa and reading some documents. It was about the bid.
Everyone in Li City knew that this plot of land would belong to either Gu Zheng or Lu Yan in the end. According to the estimates of the professionals, the development of this plot of land would bring about huge benefits, so the starting price was as high as two billion.
Song Shiyu handed the documents he had prepared to Gu Zheng and asked curiously, “President, when I came out of Longwan Residential this morning, I saw several boxes in a room. What’s in them?”
Without thinking, Gu Zheng blurted out, “Sanitary pads.”
Song Shiyu: “?”
He asked in horror, “What? The boxes are filled with sanitary pads? President, when did our company start such a business? Are you selling sanitary pads?”
Gu Zheng frowned and said impatiently, “I went to the supermarket to buy them.”
Song Shiyu was dumbfounded.
Did he hear wrongly? Why did the president buy so many sanitary pads?
Since his salary had already been deducted multiple times, Song Shiyu had nothing to worry about. He immediately asked slyly, “President, are you… crazy?”
Actually, the manager of the finance department knew very well that although the president said he would deduct Assistant Song’s salary, he would never really do so. That was why Assistant Song was so arrogant.
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Song Shiyu’s heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but take a step back. “President, that’s not what I mean. I just want to ask why you bought so many sanitary pads. Are they all for Young Madam?”
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and felt annoyed. He suddenly regretted making Song Shiyu his assistant.
He snorted. “You can use them!”
Song Shiyu’s mouth fell open. “…”
“President… let me off this once. I don’t need… sanitary pads!”
After a while, Song Shijing walked in.. Seeing Song Shiyu who was on the verge of tears, he ignored him and reported respectfully, “President, Lu Yan has raised the price to three billion.”
