Chapter 412: Scared to Death

"Ah, my Yaya has finally grown up." Knowing that Gu Lingling got her period, Grandma Yao finally put her worried mind to rest.

She was afraid it would affect Gu Lingling’s future children.

Now that she heard it doesn’t hurt, she’s even happier, "Even if it doesn’t hurt, we should still be careful. Here, quickly eat this bowl of brown sugar boiled eggs."

She also used a drip bottle to fill some hot water and wrapped it in a towel, "Keep your belly warm."

Then she urged Gu Chunhai, "Go and take a couple days off for Yaya, let her rest at home these days."

"Grandma, I can go to work." Gu Lingling was a bit exasperated, it’s just her first period, it wasn’t such a big deal.

But her heart felt warm.

In her past life, her first period also came late. That morning, her stomach started to hurt, but she was still called by Old Mrs. Gu to get up and wash vegetables and cook.

She didn’t understand anything at that time, and ended up dirtying her pants and bed sheets, which made Old Mrs. Gu so angry that she gave her a beating.

Those dirty pants and sheets were also taken by her to the river to wash.

But when Gu Juan got her period, Old Mrs. Gu was just like Grandma Yao, giving her brown sugar water and letting her lie on the bed doing nothing.

She didn’t know how much she envied Gu Juan back then and secretly resolved to please Old Mrs. Gu, hoping for such treatment.

But looking back now, Gu Lingling could only smile.

She probably could never win Old Mrs. Gu’s favor in this lifetime.

But having Grandma Yao was enough, she wasn’t greedy at all.

In the end, Grandma Yao couldn’t persuade Gu Lingling otherwise, so she gave her many reminders and brought her some brown sugar to mix with water at work, then finally let her go to work.

"What’s this?" Gu Lingling looked puzzled at Tang Wei.

"Just take it," Tang Wei shoved the box into Gu Lingling’s hand awkwardly, then walked away with his usual cool demeanor.

Gu Lingling opened the box and found that there were actually cookies inside.

What’s this supposed to mean?

Hasn’t he always disliked me? Why the sudden change in attitude?

Puzzled, Gu Lingling placed the cookie box on the table and went to get some water. When she came back, Liu Zhi was there, "Lingling, you brought cookies? I didn’t have breakfast."

Before Gu Lingling could say anything, Liu Zhi had already opened the box and started eating, "Hmm, not bad. Do you have someone in Sea City? You can’t find these kinds of cookies here."

Gu Lingling often brought breakfast before, so Liu Zhi was used to it and didn’t think much about it this time either.

"No... it’s not..." Gu Lingling hadn’t figured out how to explain it when she saw Tang Wei standing at the door with a dark expression, giving Liu Zhi a cold look.

"What’s with him?" Liu Zhi asked in a low voice.

So early in the morning, looking so displeased, with such a scary face.

Gu Lingling naturally felt embarrassed to say it was because he ate someone else’s cookies, so she shook her head and put away the trouble-causing cookies.

"Hey... I wasn’t done... okay." He initially wanted to say he wasn’t full yet, but seeing that those cookies weren’t enough to fill him, he smiled and said, "These cookies taste really good."

Gu Lingling rolled her eyes at him and went on to make her brown sugar water.

"I want some too." Having just eaten some cookies, he was feeling a bit dry.

"Brown sugar water? Get it yourself," Gu Lingling glared at him. Ever since he got familiar with her, he practically didn’t consider himself an outsider.

Tang Wei, at the next table, looked up at Gu Lingling when he heard "brown sugar water," then lowered his head and continued writing.
