Bai Yiran looked at the caller ID showing Wu Chengzu’s na, frowned slightly, and thought to herself that Leng Yichen didn’t like her keeping in touch with Wu Chengzu. She muted the call and set the phone aside.
But Wu Chengzu didn’t seem inclined to give up, causing Bai Yiran’s phone screen to stay lit.
Helpless, Bai Yiran had no choice but to answer the call.
"Mr. Wu, what’s the matter?"
"Yiran, Jingjing is acting a bit strange. She’s locked herself in the bathroom and hasn’t co out for almost two hours now." Wu Chengzu’s voice showed a trace of anxiety for the first ti. "I’ve tried talking to her, but she won’t respond to . The kid seems to trust you, so I’m hoping you can help out."
Bai Yiran sensed from Wu Chengzu’s words that Wu Jingjing might be having so kind of issue again.
"Mr. Wu, can you see if Jingjing would take the call? I’ll try asking her what’s wrong."
Wu Chengzu went to the bathroom door, knocked, and said in a low voice, "Jingjing, open the door. It’s your Sister Yi Ran on the phone."
At the bathroom door, Wu Chengzu quietly listened for any noise inside. Upon hearing Bai Yiran’s na, the bathroom door creaked open a tiny bit. Wu Jingjing reached out from inside, took the phone from Wu Chengzu, and promptly shut the door again.
Wu Chengzu stood outside waiting, and after a while, the bathroom door opened again. Wu Jingjing returned the phone to Wu Chengzu. He looked at the screen and saw the call with Bai Yiran was still connected.
"Yiran, what’s going on with Jingjing?"
In the office, Bai Yiran rubbed her forehead with one hand, her mouth twitching slightly, looking a bit embarrassed. "Don’t worry. Jingjing isn’t sick; she’s just having her period."
Upon hearing the word "period," Wu Chengzu’s face turned sowhat unnatural. He coughed lightly and asked, "So what should I do?"
Discussing nstruation over the phone with Wu Chengzu was indeed a bit awkward for Bai Yiran. She cleared her throat and adjusted her tone. "It’s probably Jingjing’s first period. Make sure she doesn’t catch a chill, avoid cold things, and don’t let her eat cold foods or anything with a cooling effect..."
"Okay." Wu Chengzu listened intently despite his awkward expression.
"Also, what you really need to do is go buy so sanitary pads for Jingjing, or else she’ll stay stuck in the bathroom..."
This made Wu Chengzu’s head ache. "Uh... I... how do I buy these things? Like, what brands are best?"
Bai Yiran simply told Wu Chengzu a few brands she usually used. This was seriously an infinitely awkward situation.
After hanging up, Wu Chengzu knocked on the bathroom door. "Uh... just wait a while in there. I’ll go buy that for you."
"No!" Wu Jingjing’s muffled voice ca from the bathroom. "I want Sister Yi Ran to buy it for , not you!"
Wu Chengzu was a very macho man, rarely bothering about won’s things. If it weren’t for the fact that this ti it involved Wu Jingjing, Wu Chengzu wouldn’t have cared at all.
Wu Jingjing insisted on Bai Yiran, but Wu Chengzu knew that Bai Yiran wouldn’t co.
In the office, Bai Qianyu was gloomily staring at her phone repeatedly. Seeing Leng Yichen pick up Bai Yiran the day before had quite an impact on her. She was the one who truly longed for a man to rely on and care for her, yet she didn’t know why her luck with n had been particularly poor recently.
After finally eting Wu Chengzu, this charming uncle often played disappearances and went out of contact, leaving her completely unsure of their current relationship.
Then, suddenly, Bai Qianyu’s phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Wu Chengzu.
Bai Qianyu’s heart felt as if a thousand flowers were blooming, but she didn’t want to seem too eager in answering. After letting it ring four tis, she nonchalantly picked up the call.
"Hello? Who is this?" Bai Qianyu started off with an air of indifference but was shocked, her eyes widening at Wu Chengzu’s words on the other end, "What? Buy sanitary pads?"
