Sinсе it wаs hеr safe реriоd, Wu Маngmang spent thrее consеcutive dауs in а whirlwind оf раssion, with spring nights undеr warm bed curtains and no еаrly mоrnings to аttеnd tо.
Lu Sui wаs definitеlу nоt thе tуpе to be cаsuаl, but when hе did let loosе, he was trulу inhuman.
Finallу, Wu Маngmаng соuldn’t tаke it anуmоre. With grеаt еffort, shе turned hеr hеad and shоutеd, "Just how lоng have yоu been holding bасk? Аre уou unloading уеаrs’ worth оf stосkрilеs оn me?"
In rеsрonsе, Lu Sui onlу intensified his еfforts, his swеаt driрping еvеn mоrе diligently.
Fortunаtely, the reasоn the safe рeriod wаs safе wаs beсause her period was already at the door. On the fourth morning, when Wu Mangmang got up and saw the telltale signs, she nearly cheered. Never before had she so eagerly awaited its arrival.
Wu Mangmang poked her head out of the bathroom and directed Lu Sui, "Um, my relative has arrived. Could you go get me a little winged angel?"
However, Lu Sui was truly a very pragmatic person. Since Wu Mangmang’s relative had come, he unceremoniously took her back to the Lu residence to handle business matters.
Wu Mangmang was utterly bored. Her job had been put on hold without pay due to Lu Sui’s intervention, and since her postgraduate exam scores had already passed, she didn’t bother arguing with him over it—it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.
Meanwhile, Cathy was reporting her recent schedule in her ear—some events were mandatory, others optional, awaiting her decision.
Wu Mangmang let the words go in one ear and out the other. Seeing that she couldn’t brush it off, she simply clutched her stomach in feigned pain and gave Cathy a strained smile. "Menstrual cramps. Clear this week’s schedule."
Cathy looked helplessly at Wu Mangmang’s performance and sighed.
Wu Mangmang would rather lie in bed hatching eggs than go out socializing.
She took the ginger brown sugar water from Annie, pinched her nose, and drank it down, then started scrolling through her phone. The group chat with her close girlfriends was heatedly discussing the topic of "getting too loose like a sack after too much action."
After reading for a while, Wu Mangmang thought, Oh no. If she ever left Lu Sui, would her next boyfriend feel like he was rowing a boat in the ocean?
But fortunately, someone soon chimed in to refute, saying that more activity actually made things more elastic—it was a case of "use it or lose it."
In short, everyone had their own argument.
As a seasoned practitioner with many ex-boyfriends, Wu Mangmang was called upon to weigh in.
Long Xiujuan even added bluntly, "Mangmang is the most qualified to speak on this. It should be tighter the more you do it, right? Otherwise, why would Mr. Lu like our Mangmang so much, huh?"
Women often thought this way: when they saw an ill-matched couple, they’d assume the woman must be good in bed—like Camilla with Charles.
As for Long Xiujuan’s question, Wu Mangmang thought that probably all women felt tight to Lu Sui.
But Long Xiujuan’s way of asking clearly carried deep malice. She then went on to boast about how she was still a virgin when she was with her fiancé, and how her fiancé cherished and delighted in it, so Long Xiujuan always pretended to be pure, claiming she knew nothing.
Actually, Lu Qingqing had once gossiped about Long Xiujuan, saying she’d undergone a hymen restoration surgery.Of course, all of this was just speculation. Stabbing each other in the back in private group chats was a common occurrence among girlfriends.
Since Mr. Lu was the only person she had ever been with, Wu Mangmang truly didn’t know how tight or loose she was. Besides, Lu Sui wasn’t the type to say things like, “You little temptress, you’re squeezing me to death.”
Wu Mangmang couldn’t answer Long Xiujuan, so she simply pretended not to see the message.
But ever since Long Xiujuan brought it up, everyone in the group had taken an extra interest in Wu Mangmang and Lu Sui’s intimate history. These women had fantasized about Lu Sui so much that they couldn’t imagine him as a man with desires.
It wasn’t their fault, really. Even Wu Mangmang had been deceived by Lu Sui’s aloof facade.
Wu Mangmang had no intention of sharing such things with them. She decisively turned off her phone screen—one of the perks of online socializing was that when you didn’t want to engage, you didn’t even have to apologize or say goodbye.
When Lu Sui knocked on her door that night, Wu Mangmang was already asleep. Seeing him come in, she thought he was there to say goodnight and kiss her forehead. To her surprise, he picked her up and carried her to his room.
“I can’t tonight,” Wu Mangmang said anxiously. She didn’t want to risk crossing the red line.
“Don’t overthink it. We’re just sleeping,” Lu Sui said as he gently placed her on the bed.
Wu Mangmang was a restless sleeper, often experiencing embarrassing leaks, but it didn’t matter when she slept alone. However, if Lu Sui discovered she had “drawn a map” the next morning, she would feel inferior.
“I don’t like sleeping with others when I’m not feeling well,” Wu Mangmang said.
“Then you can start getting used to it,” Lu Sui replied, lying down beside her.
“Didn’t you complain about me farting in my sleep?” Wu Mangmang hated how Lu Sui disregarded her feelings.
“I’ve even tasted where you pee. Do you think I’d care about you farting?” Lu Sui reached out and turned off the light.
Wu Mangmang’s flushed face was safely hidden in the darkness. Mr. Lu really dared to say anything, leaving no room for secrets.
This made Wu Mangmang feel she could no longer pretend to be an ethereal goddess untouched by worldly matters.
Wu Mangmang was a night owl. Unable to sleep, she decided to bother Lu Sui. She was in a phase where, having recently broken her “taboos,” she was particularly curious about matters between men and women.
“So, why did you break up with Wang Yuan back then?” In Wu Mangmang’s eyes, Wang Yuan was almost a flawless woman. Lu Lin’s guess was that Wang Yuan must have violated one of Lu Sui’s taboos in bed, and Wu Mangmang didn’t want to repeat the same mistake.
“We weren’t compatible.”
Wu Mangmang knew Lu Sui would answer like that.
“What taboo of yours did she actually violate?” Wu Mangmang pressed.
“I don’t have any taboos,” Lu Sui said. He once thought he did, but it was simply a matter of the wrong person.
Wu Mangmang had an intuition that Wang Yuan couldn’t tolerate Lu Sui. But thinking this way only made her seem like a “big sack” in comparison.
Wu Mangmang felt a bit displeased. This was too disheartening.
However, Lu Sui wasn’t the type to speak ill of his ex-girlfriends. So, despite Wu Mangmang using all her coquettish and pestering tactics, she still couldn’t get him to talk.
But wouldn’t any woman be curious about this?
Wu Mangmang was almost dying of curiosity. Finally, she leaned close to Lu Sui’s ear and whispered something.
“Are you sure?” Lu Sui’s voice carried a hint of delight.
“Yes,” Wu Mangmang nodded with a sense of resignation.
“Alright, you go first,” Lu Sui said.
Wu Mangmang refused. “Why should I go first? What if you back out?”Lu Sui said, "I never go back on my promises, but you already have a record."
The so-called record was probably the affair of infidelity, which Wu Mangmang had long forgotten. "But if you go back on your word, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
"I won't, because I don't want this to be just a one-time transaction," Lu Sui replied.
Wu Mangmang was convinced by Lu Sui.
After a long while, Wu Mangmang sprang up from the bed like a cannonball and rushed into the bathroom.
When she weakly crawled back to bed, Lu Sui pinched her chin and criticized, "Don’t use your teeth next time." Wu Mangmang pushed Lu Sui away, no longer in the mood to speak.
"Still want to hear more?" Lu Sui asked the drowsy Wu Mangmang, a businessman of great integrity.
Too lazy to speak, Wu Mangmang only let out a tired "Mm."
Actually, Wang Yuan didn’t have any major flaws—she was just a bit delicate and more sensitive to pain.
Wu Mangmang disagreed. "Isn’t it said that when a woman cries out in pain, it stimulates a man’s desire to conquer?"
It was an indirect way of praising them for being impressive.
Lu Sui gently ruffled Wu Mangmang’s hair. "Only abnormal men find stimulation in their partner’s pain."
Most men probably prefer women to have pleasurable reactions.
But nowadays, public opinion tends to push women toward pretending to be innocent.
As if not crying out in pain isn’t enough to show one’s restraint.
But Wu Mangmang was a fellow woman, firmly on the side of women. She muttered, "It might not be Wang Yuan’s fault. If the preparation isn’t sufficient, of course it’ll hurt."
Lu Sui ruffled her hair again.
Did she really think all men were invincible? Unless they took medication.
In reality, if the preparation takes too long, most men will lose their drive.
Wu Mangmang perked up at this, her eyes gleaming in the dark. Although she had never timed it, Lu Sui was undoubtedly extremely patient with her.
She pressed Lu Sui for answers until he grew impatient and finally retorted, "You’re just that capable, okay?"
Wu Mangmang wanted to ask more, but Lu Sui cut her off with a "Go to sleep."
This time, even acting cute wouldn’t work.
It took Wu Mangmang a while to figure out what Lu Sui meant by "capable."
Was he praising her for being tough, tolerant, and understanding?
If so, Wu Mangmang would rather he didn’t praise her at all.
Just after breakfast, Lu Jianan called.
"Mangmang, are you feeling better?" Lu Jianan asked.
Even over the phone, Wu Mangmang quickly straightened up. "Much better, Auntie."
"I know an experienced traditional Chinese doctor, a master in gynecology. I’ve already booked an appointment for you—Wednesday morning at ten," Lu Jianan said.
Lu Jianan never made anyone feel embarrassed; she only made you reflect on yourself.
"Thank you, Auntie," Wu Mangmang replied. After all, most women have minor issues one way or another, so seeing a gynecology master for some conditioning wasn’t a bad idea.
After being admonished by Lu Jianan, Wu Mangmang no longer dared to pretend she had menstrual cramps. She listened respectfully to Lu Jianan’s words on the other end of the line, almost bowing and scraping.
By the time Lu Sui finished getting ready and came downstairs, Wu Mangmang was still on the phone. Seeing him, she grimaced and mimed a fainting gesture.Finally ending the call, Wu Mangmang was just about to seek some comfort from Lu Sui when she heard him say, "It seems Auntie really likes you. She’s never been one to talk much, so the fact that she’s willing to spend so much time teaching you shows you truly have potential."
"Or maybe I’m just a hopeless case, so she has no choice but to invest extra time and effort," Wu Mangmang pouted.
Wu Mangmang had managed to squeeze out a little time to visit Wu Yong.
"From what you’ve said, your symptoms have eased considerably, Mangmang," Wu Yong’s pen tapped lightly on the notes.
Indeed, Wu Mangmang’s intermittent episodes had not occurred for quite some time.
"Have you thought about the reason yourself?" Wu Yong asked.
Wu Mangmang nodded.
