Chapter 2127: A Gilded Marriage Certificate
It was the umpteenth time she had awakened from her dreams, startled.
Shen Manting stared blankly at the ceiling above her.
Instinctively, she reached out to pat the area beside it; it had long been empty, and now, only a slight warmth remained.
She arose and found her surroundings blindingly bright.
At that very moment, the door to the bathroom opened.
Shen Manting looked over. Shen Luo’an was dressed crisply as he emerged from the bathroom.
When Shen Luo’an saw her, he strode over.
Shen Manting reacted as though she was facing a huge foe and immediately shrank back in fear. Partly surprised and partly alarmed, she exclaimed, “Shen Luo’an!”
Shen Luo’an froze in his tracks. At the same time, his back stiffened.
Shen Luo’an suddenly panicked and stared at Shen Manting in disbelief.
But very soon, Shen Manting looked extremely confused.
She gazed at Shen Luo’an with a frown and said, “Hubby…”
Shen Manting’s confusion was evident in her voice. Placing a hand on her chest, she looked up at Shen Luo’an who was standing still.
Shen Luo’an felt like his heart was being tugged as he watched Shen Manting while he walked over to her step by step.
Shen Manting’s eyes betrayed her and showcased her fear clearly as she returned his gaze, but she resisted it nonetheless.
Shrinking back, she lay down again and covered herself with a blanket.
Shen Luo’an stopped in his tracks and stood still with his lips pursed.
No one made a sound and the room was very quiet.
After some time passed, Shen Luo’an opened his mouth to ask, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Shen Manting did not say a word and continued on with her back facing him under the blanket.
Shen Luo’an walked over. “It is an uncomfortable time for women during their menstruation. Just bear with it for a few days and it’ll be over. Would you like to get up and change the pad? Using one for too long isn’t good for your body.”
Shen Manting closed her eyes tightly and instinctively squeezed her legs together.
Her bum was a little damp and it felt… like it was soiled again.
A little embarrassed, Shen Manting whispered with her back still to him, “Hubby, could you help me get one? I’ll change it on my own.”
When Shen Luo’an heard this, he calmed down, his tensed facial expression immediately relaxed.
Feeling his spirits rise, he replied, “Sure.”
Mrs. Shen had prepared some pads a while back. Shen Luo’an retrieved one from the cabinet and passed it to Shen Manting.
With her head sticking out of the blanket, it was evident that her face was flushed.
She immediately reached her hand out to grab it and withdrew it just as quickly. “You can leave. I’ll handle this on my own.”
There was a huge possibility that her pants were stained. This was so embarrassing…
Shen Manting abashedly covered herself with the blanket, not daring to show her face.
Suddenly, she heard Shen Luo’an’s laughter, followed by the sound of his footsteps gradually softening as he walked away.
It wasn’t until she heard the door open and shut that she finally got up.
Still blushing furiously, Shen Manting squeezed the object in her hand and flipped the blanket open.
On the dark-colored bedspread was a very conspicuous stain of an even darker color.
It was as she had expected…
Shen Manting clutched the pink packet which was the size of a slice of bread and hobbled her way to the bathroom.
Only then did she realize that her pants were completely stained.
She slinked into the cloakroom to retrieve a clean set of clothes, and when she opened the drawer, she saw the two red booklets that had been placed there not too long ago.
The two words gilded in gold were especially eye-catching.
For some reason, seeing those words made Shen Manting feel extremely uneasy.
She opened them, and the photos of both of them stood out to her.
Her breathing eventually turned to heavy pants and she felt as if she had just been hit hard on the head.
Shen Manting’s vision turned to black and her legs turned to jelly as she fell to the ground.
Her heart felt crushed and her surrounding began to spin.
