“I was drunk yesterday…” She stammered as she explained. Although her explanation seemed unnecessary and unreasonable, still she gave her side of the story.

“I know.” Indeed, he gained some benefits when she was drunk.

“That… that…” She did not know what else to explain.

“Do you want to sleep some more or do you want to play for a while?” Pei Xiuyuan asked suddenly.

“Huh?” Lu Man was stunned.

What did it mean? 

Pei Xiuyuan smirked when he saw her innocence clearly. “We could sleep for a while if you want. Or, we could continue the game we were playing yesterday. I liked it very much.”

Lu Man’s face reddened like an explosion.

She seemed like a cooked prawn.

“I want… I want to sleep for a while.”

“It’s too late!”

Pei Xiuyuan felt that it was not enough.

He finally understood why there were emperors who skipped the imperial court session in the morning and chose to enjoy the moment with their beautiful lovers. How could those tedious government affairs be compared with these sweet moments?

Lu Man wanted to change the bedsheets when Pei Xiuyuan went to deal with his work. She nearly fell down on the floor when she got out of bed. Her legs were shaky.

Her lips twitched. Why would Pei Xiuyuan act savagely given that he was such a gentle person?

She endured her backache and changed the bedsheet. She pulled the bedsheet out.

She was stunned when she saw that the bedsheet was not stained with blood.

It was her first time. How could it be clean like that? Why was it unstained?

They did sleep together these past two days!

What was wrong?

She stared at the bed sheet. She did not even notice Pei Xiuyuan when he entered the room.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Man recovered her senses. “It’s nothing.”

She could not voice out her doubt.

“Do you want to eat out or call for food delivery service?” They did not have proper meals these past two days.

“Call for food delivery service then.” Lu Man did not want to head out. She did not have any energy left to cook either.

“Fine.”

Pei Xiuyuan called for food delivery service.

Lu Man continued changing the bed sheet. When she was done, she bent down and picked up the used bed sheet. She wanted to wash them.

“Just leave it there. Wait till the cleaning lady is here tomorrow. She’ll wash it.”

“I’ll wash it now.” She was shy and she did not want anyone else to see her bed sheet.

Pei Xiuyuan knew that she was shy. So, he did not force her. “Then, let me do it. Just look at you. You look like you can’t even walk. How could you wash the bed sheet?”

Lu Man soon looked at Pei Xiuyuan, pouting. “Whose fault is that?”

Pei Xiuyuan laughed out loud. He was quite satisfied!

Lu Man’s lips twitched. ‘Why does he think that I’m praising him?’

“Do you know how to do the laundry?”

“I do.” He was obsessed with cleanliness. Therefore, he had always washed his own personal clothes.

Although he claimed that he knew how to do the laundry, Lu Man was still worried. She went to take a look.

She wanted to say something when she saw him putting the bed sheet into the washing machine. But, she did not know how to bring it up.

It was her first time. It was indeed her first time sleeping with a man! But, she did not know why there was not even a single stain on the bed sheet.

She was his wife. She felt that she needed to explain herself. But…

He seemed not to care a bit about the unstained bed sheet. She felt that she had thought too much. She did not have to explain herself.

The people now were quite open. It seemed that men did not care about women’s virginity anymore.

So, she decided to keep quiet about that.

But, what she did not know was that Pei Xiuyuan was jealous of one thing. People nowadays were indeed quite open about that affair. He truly did not care whether she was a virgin or not. He would not treat her unkindly even if it was not her first time. But, he was jealous that Mu Yunhai was the one who had taken away her virginity. 

If men were jealous, they would surely want to keep the woman all to himself even if the woman had had sexual experience before in the past. 

One day, Lu Man met with Hou Qingqing. 

“How did you become so much prettier when I’ve not met you for only a few days? You’re so dazzling!” Hou Qingqing was exaggerating. 

Lu Man was amused by her. “Stop exaggerating!”

“I’m not exaggerating! What I said is true!” She did feel that Lu Man had become much prettier.

Suddenly, Hou Qingqing approached her mysteriously. “Did you gobble Big Boss Pei up?”

Lu Man had always blushed easily. Her face soon became as red as a tomato when her bestie asked her that.

Hou Qingqing soon understood when she saw Lu Man reacting like that. “It’s true then. It’s quite nourishing, isn’t it? You just take a look at yourself! You’re just as captivating as a flower!”

Lu Man was sweating.

“By the way, did you have protection on? Did you take the pills or…? You better ask him to use the condom. I heard that the pills have quite a lot of side effects!” Hou Qingqing voiced her concerns.

Lu Man was stunned. She had forgotten about that!

She had always laughed at the silly female protagonists when she read novels in the past. They always got pregnant from one-night-stand. They were unaware of the existence of the pills. They always became single mothers in the end.

She never thought that she would be as silly as them. She did not even think about that!

“Don’t tell me you didn’t use protection! Do you want to have kids? Isn’t it a little too early?” Hou Qingqing soon understood when she saw that Lu Man was stunned.

Lu Man sighed. “Now, let’s just leave it to God’s will.”

It was too late even if she were to take the pills now. 

Hou Qingqing consoled her. “It’s fine. It’s better if you have kids now. If you have them now, you’ll be able to recover quicker given how young you are. When you’re much older, you’ll become plumper and it’s not easy to recover your body shape.”

“Yes.” Lu Man thought about it for a moment. If she really did have kids, she would want them surely.

“How was it? Was it painful? Was it just like what they said in the books?” Hou Qingqing was rather curious about that kind of thing.

“I was drunk and I did not feel much pain,” Lu Man replied honestly.

“It’s a good idea. I’ll try that too when it’s my first time!”

“It’s just that I don’t know why I didn’t have that…” They were besties. They always shared everything with each other. So, Lu Man voiced out her doubts openly.

“No?”

“Yes.”

“I heard that sports would destroy that… Have you done any kind of vigorous exercise before?”

“I haven’t. But, I was in a car accident when I was nineteen years old. It might be related to that.” Lu Man remembered about the car accident when she talked about it. Her doubts seemed to clear somehow.

“That’s possible.” Hou Qingqing felt that it was possible. Then, she asked Lu Man, “Did you tell Pei Xiuyuan about that?”

“No.”

“Why didn’t you tell him? Men care about that deeply!”

“I don’t know how to voice it out. I have been living in the Mu family for so many years now. I nearly became Mu Yunhai’s wife. It’s complicated. If I was a virgin, the truth will soon be revealed. But, it was not like that. Maybe the others might laugh at me if I claim that I’m a virgin. You need to get to the hospital to do something about it even if you want to pretend that you’re a virgin. If you’re unwilling to do that, why on earth would you want to pretend that you’re a virgin?”

Hou Qingqing grew solemn. “It’s just like what you said.”
