Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1239 - 1241: So Embarrassing

Pei Yining, immersed in romance, exudes the bashfulness of a young woman, a world apart from the little girl she was seven or eight years ago.

How wonderful, the young girl has finally found her own happiness.

Cheng Hao didn’t rush to leave; instead, he ordered another drink, sipping as he reminisced.

In those days, when he was with Zou Yaru, he vaguely understood Pei Yining’s feelings. Later, fearing she would fall deeper, he proactively avoided Pei Yining until he finally parted with Zou Yaru.

Cheng Hao’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the outside, where, high on a building, was a jewelry advertisement. Zou Yaru, dressed in a pure white gown, raised her hand slightly, her fingertips graced with a sparkling diamond ring, beautifully radiant.

If she were to wear a white wedding dress, she’d surely look even more stunning.

Cheng Hao silently bowed his head; the joy of a successful business deal had completely dissipated by this moment.

...

"This fish is delicious."

"Next time, let’s bring my sister-in-law along. She’ll definitely love these spicy and numbing fish slices."

Pei Yining’s forehead perspired from the spiciness. Though she wasn’t particularly good at eating spicy food, she loved spicy dishes because they tasted so good.

"Sure."

Shuyuan replied with a smile, quietly leaving all the fish slices for Pei Yining, keeping the fish heads and tails with bones for himself.

Having had a hearty meal, Pei Yining felt extremely comfortable. A sip of chilled fruit juice made it even more...

Suddenly, Pei Yining found herself struggling to swallow the juice.

Her stomach seemed to ache a bit, and Pei Yining belatedly asked, "Shuyuan, what’s today’s date?"

"The twenty-fifth," Shuyuan replied, then added, "August twenty-fifth."

When was it last month?

Pei Yining felt restless. Today she wore a bright yellow short-sleeve matched with a white skirt, thinking the colors looked vibrant, completely forgetting the date was not right!

If she stood up, wouldn’t it be horribly embarrassing?

"What’s the matter?" Shuyuan noticed her complexion seemed off and asked with concern, "Is something wrong?"

"No," Pei Yining replied awkwardly, looking at Shuyuan. Normally, Shuyuan was busy, and she had her commitments. Their first formal date together was today.

Originally, she thought today’s date was perfect. Though Shuyuan was a man of few words, they both enjoyed themselves, and during the meal, Shuyuan was particularly attentive to her taste.

Who knew she’d unexpectedly start her period.

What to do?

Pei Yining internally panicked, faced with Shuyuan’s concerned inquiry. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.

"Um..."

Pei Yining awkwardly began to speak; she thought of calling her sister-in-law, but since the meal was nearly finished, distant water couldn’t tackle the immediate fire.

"Hmm?" Shuyuan looked at her in confusion, now worried, "Where are you uncomfortable?"

"My stomach doesn’t feel good," Pei Yining cleared her throat, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shuyuan, saying, "Can you move a little closer? I have something to tell you."

Shuyuan leaned in closer.

Pei Yining felt it wasn’t close enough.

Shuyuan simply sat next to Pei Yining. The seating here was a long bench made of leather sofa.

"What’s wrong?" Shuyuan turned his ear to listen, Pei Yining covered her mouth, whispering to him, and soon Shuyuan’s ears turned red. He looked towards the women’s clothing store outside and said, "Wait for me a moment."

With that, Shuyuan ran out. Within minutes, Shuyuan came back with a long black coat, draping it over Pei Yining as he said, "The weather’s chilly outside, don’t catch a cold."

Pei Yining remained seated, not daring to move.
