Although it sounds a bit awkward for a grown man to buy such things, for Lan Baobao, he wasn't completely unable to do this.
A little embarrassment is just a little embarrassment; it won't cost him anything.
"I thought about asking you to bring it for me, but when I came here, I realized something was off. I wanted to resolve it quickly before the floodgates opened. I saw you didn't come at noon, so I thought you would arrive very late in the afternoon." Lan Baobao said with a look of disdain and helplessness, "I was worried that by the time you arrived, my aunt would have ruined this place, so I went down to buy it myself! If I ever go out again, I will definitely bring my phone! I promise!"
"Is there going to be a next time?"
Mu Jiangfeng raised an eyebrow. This time, he was almost scared half to death; if there were to be a next time, he didn't know if he would end up killing someone.
Lan Baobao shook her head repeatedly and laughed, "No, no, there won't be a next time!"
"Forget it." Mu Jiangfeng found it impossible to be angry with Lan Baobao. His mood shifted as he said, "I did arrive a bit late today, but I got here not long after you went out. If you hadn't called me, I could have brought it for you anyway. Besides, that waiter is specifically there to serve you; if you need anything, just call the front desk and they will get it for you. You don't need to risk going out yourself!"
"Huh? In an apartment-style hotel, there's a front desk that can help?" Lan Baobao showed an expression of sudden realization.
Having stayed in hotels before, she knew that the front desk could assist guests with such private matters, but she had never stayed in this kind of apartment.
She thought the front desk staff were only responsible for reception; she didn't realize they could handle these kinds of tasks!
"Mu Jiangfeng, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me sooner, we wouldn't be in this situation! Do you think I wanted to go out? It was so painful; I almost passed out. The worst part was that I ran into..."
Lan Baobao had been complaining, but suddenly her spirit lifted when she realized that Mu Jiangfeng had reacted this way just from her outing. If he knew she had run into Mu Jiao'er at the supermarket, she might as well shoot herself in despair. So she quickly stopped talking and didn't continue.
However, the usually meticulous Mu Jiangfeng seemed to sense something was off and pressed on, "Who else did you run into?"
He certainly didn't want Lan Baobao encountering any acquaintances.
"Nothing! Don't be so nervous; it's scary." Fortunately, Lan Baobao reacted quickly and pretended to be helpless as she waved her hand. "I ran into a really annoying supermarket lady who insisted I buy another brand. I didn't like it at all; my stomach hurt so much that I wanted to get back quickly. But she was so annoying and kept pulling me along because the other brand was cheaper. I almost argued with her."
Was this excuse a bit unbelievable? At first glance, it did seem somewhat implausible! Would Mu Jiangfeng, being clever as he was, see through it? Would he doubt her words and continue questioning?
Lan Baobao was never good at lying; if Mu Jiangfeng kept pressing her for answers, she truly wouldn't have any more lies to come up with.
Lan Baobao was worried, but then she recalled that Mu Jiangfeng didn't seem to suspect anything, because Lan Baobao was inherently an unreliable person, so it was understandable that she would do something unreliable.
Suddenly, the pain in her abdomen intensified again. Lan Baobao, who had been enduring it, now had a pale face, and her expression twisted in agony.
"Baby, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Seeing Lan Baobao clutching her abdomen in extreme pain, with beads of sweat falling from her forehead, Mu Jiangfeng couldn't help but feel a pang of worry.
Lan Baobao looked unwell from the pain, while Mu Jiangfeng turned pale from fear.
He followed Lan Baobao, his face also looking quite poor like hers.
"I'm... I'm fine. You know how it is for women during that time; it can be a bit strange. I'm used to it; it's nothing serious!"
Lan Baobao forced herself to hold on. Although her face was already ashen, she still managed a slight smile and said, "Mu Jiangfeng, just sit here for a moment. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't be entertaining you."
After saying that, she hurriedly slipped into the bathroom without another word and quickly took off her dirty clothes and took a shower.
Strangely enough, Lan Baobao didn't see any signs of her period. She tilted her head and thought for a moment.
Maybe it was because she had eaten too many cold things; perhaps her period hadn't come yet and was just stimulated by the ice cream, causing this pain.
"Oh, if I had known it wasn't really my period, I wouldn't have rushed to buy things and ended up running into that pest!"
Lan Baobao complained softly. After changing into clean clothes and taking care of everything, the pain in her abdomen seemed to lessen significantly, making Lan Baobao feel refreshed.
Just as Lan Baobao stepped out of the bathroom, she caught a whiff of a strong aroma coming from the kitchen, which instantly made her appetite surge. She moved toward the kitchen and saw Mu Jiangfeng busy cooking in an apron, looking like a good homemaker.
It was the first time she had seen Mu Jiangfeng in an apron, and she felt a bit surprised.
The apron was a fresh and elegant white color adorned with floral patterns, giving off a rustic vibe. It suited women well, but seeing a man wear it...
It really did look somewhat mismatched!
“Mu Jiangfeng, what are you doing?” Lan Baobao asked, curiously peeking out while warming her abdomen with her hands, glancing at the steaming pot.
“I’m making you some Job's tears and lotus seed porridge,” Mu Jiangfeng replied carefully while busy with the final steps.
Cooking porridge?
For Lan Baobao, this kitchen task was already quite a challenge. Every time she attempted to make porridge, it ended in failure.
Whenever brother Mu and Ruo Ruo saw her creations, they would sigh, wondering how she managed to survive her mother’s cruel culinary trials when it was time to wean off milk and eat solid food!
“My goodness! You can actually cook porridge? I never would have guessed.”
Lan Baobao nodded in satisfaction, truly surprised. She had always thought that men like Mu Jiangfeng and Ye Zixun, who were career-oriented, would focus solely on important matters outside and wouldn’t bother with kitchen tasks.
But it seemed that Mu Jiangfeng not only could cook but did it quite well.
Before long, Mu Jiangfeng served a bowl of freshly made lotus seed porridge in front of Lan Baobao, who was lying on the sofa with her eyes closed.
“Give it a try; eat a little to warm your stomach.”
She really didn’t expect that Mu Jiangfeng had such skills in charming girls; he was quite adept at it.
People often say that a man who knows how to please women has been trained exceptionally well by them, which also suggests that he has not just had one or two girlfriends.
Mu Jiangfeng even knew how to warm her stomach and care for a woman during her period; he must be a very experienced and thoughtful man!
“It smells so good, Mu Jiangfeng, thank you.” Lan Baobao took the lotus seed porridge from his hands without hesitation. Even though her abdomen was in turmoil with pain, it couldn’t stop her longing for delicious food, especially something made by Mu Jiangfeng, which was a rare treat.
Sure enough, the taste matched its appearance. Unable to help herself, Lan Baobao gave Mu Jiangfeng a thumbs up and said, “Impressive! I never would have guessed you had this talent. Truly a must-have skill for home and travel. In the future, whoever marries you will definitely be very fortunate!”
Mu Jiangfeng smiled shyly; although receiving praise from Lan Baobao wasn’t particularly difficult, he was still very pleased.
Hearing the last sentence from Lan Baobao, Mu Jiangfeng's heart was almost bursting with happiness.
Lan Baobao's words seemed to be a roundabout way of praising him. From now on, as long as Lan Baobao married him, Mu Jiangfeng promised he would treat her well and would never let her suffer even a little bit!
While eating, Lan Baobao suddenly put down her chopsticks.
"Ah! I forgot about this!" Lan Baobao seemed to suddenly remember something, slapping her thigh and saying, "It's already three in the afternoon. You must have a lot of things left to handle, right? Is there any problem with work? Why don't you hurry up and go to work?"
Mu Jiangfeng looked at her silly expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Did she forget that Mu Jiangfeng's boss was himself?
Then, with a doting expression, Mu Jiangfeng said, "It's okay. I've arranged everything at the company; someone is taking care of it. Since you're not feeling well today, I'll stay here to take care of you."
Although it was just a simple sentence, it was still full of emotion. A man who would give up work because of your sadness and stay with you would make any woman feel very happy!
Vanity always hopes that a man will make some choices, giving up important things to take care of oneself.
If it were Ye Zixun, what would he do? Thinking of this, Lan Baobao couldn't help but feel sad again. Ye Zixun was a workaholic; he probably wouldn't drop important work just because of something like menstrual pain to take care of her.
However, human hearts are always difficult to predict. The man who is attentive to every detail one second may do something that hurts you the next. The more attentive someone is, the easier it is for them to find others' weaknesses, making them more likely to hurt others than those who are careless.
