Lu Yichen withdrew his hand and smiled, saying, “Alright then, no more teasing—let’s get down to business.”
He scooped Yue Suxin into his arms and carried her to the bed, where they embraced and kissed passionately.
Suddenly, Lu Yichen shifted, planting kisses along her collarbone. She turned her eyes away, silent.
The skin behind her long hair blushed crimson in an instant.
Just as desire surged and Lu Yichen was about to take things further, Yue Suxin abruptly stopped him, saying, “You should get up first... I think...”
Lu Yichen looked puzzled but complied, moving off her.
Yue Suxin quickly wrapped herself in a towel and dashed into the bathroom.
Lu Yichen followed closely and asked at the door, “What’s wrong? Is your stomach upset?”
“No, it’s... I’ve started my period.”
Her period?!
Is this the “time of the month”?!
That timing couldn’t be worse!
We hadn’t even done anything yet! At least let me have my way first, then it could come!
What is this now???
Am I just unlucky?
Inside the bathroom, Yue Suxin awkwardly spoke, “Yichen, could you help me get a sanitary pad from my bag?”
Lu Yichen sighed and rummaged through her bag, pulling out a pad and placing it by the door. He knocked gently to signal her, then left the bathroom and returned to the bed.
He understood how embarrassed Yue Suxin must feel—after all, this was beyond her control.
After a while, Yue Suxin emerged from the bathroom, still wrapped in the towel. Seeing this, Lu Yichen thoughtfully handed her a set of pajamas.
After changing, the two sat in silence, unsure of what to say.
After an awkward pause, Yue Suxin finally spoke softly, “I’m sorry... I didn’t expect my period to come so suddenly.”
“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have...”
She apologized first, but Lu Yichen smiled and said, “Why apologize? This is perfectly normal; it’s nobody’s fault. If you could control it, that would be miraculous.”
“I just feel it’s a pity. You had me all worked up, and now you can’t take responsibility.”
“Well, if I can’t, there’s always next time.”
“Alright, let’s rest early then.”
They lay down together, doing nothing more. Yue Suxin gently kissed Lu Yichen’s forehead and whispered, “Good night.”
With his eyes closed, Lu Yichen smiled faintly, “Good night.”

The burning desire within him was finally quelled by that tender kiss.
..........
The next day.
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.
Lu Yichen slowly opened his eyes, and as he sat up, he realized his hand was resting on something soft.
Turning his head, he found his hand lying on Yue Suxin’s delicate body, causing him great embarrassment.
Yue Suxin was still asleep. As Lu Yichen moved to withdraw his hand, she clung to him.
In a thin, pale pink nightdress, Yue Suxin looked stunning in her sleep. Lu Yichen studied her face closely—long lashes, full rosy lips, a high nose bridge.
It seemed the goddess had been unfairly partial!
Looking at her beautiful face and recalling last night, Lu Yichen felt a pang of regret.
A cooked duck just flew away—what a shame.
He was certain that his senior genuinely gave herself to him from the heart.
Moreover, Yue Suxin had liked him since college, though their relationship had been confused as mere senior-junior friendship.
Lu Yichen didn’t wake her but gently withdrew his hand and quietly got out of bed.
Stretching and moving his legs, he headed to the presidential suite’s bathroom for a shower. After freshening up, he called the staff to prepare breakfast.
After ordering, Lu Yichen stepped out of the bathroom intending to wake Yue Suxin but unexpectedly caught her changing clothes.
He swallowed hard, not expecting such a visual surprise so early in the morning; it made his heart race.
Yue Suxin quickly finished dressing and said, “You’re up so early.”
“Yeah, I ordered breakfast. Hurry and get ready.”
“Okay.”
Yue Suxin showed no shyness—after all, Lu Yichen had seen everything last night, so she was much more relaxed now.
By the time she finished washing up, breakfast had arrived.
“Wow, such a nice meal first thing in the morning.”
“Yeah, drink this after, and after breakfast I’ll take you home.”
“What’s that?”
“No need to go home now; it’s too late. You’ll have to go straight to work.”
“Brown sugar water.”
“You’re my little lover now, why bother with work?”
Lu Yichen teased.

Yue Suxin bit into a piece of bread and said, “Even if I’m your little lover, I still have to work. It’s not a conflict.”
Better to have a job while being taken care of than just being kept.
If someday I’m discarded, at least I have a fallback.
“You don’t want to miss out on gossip, do you? I heard you can see lots of interesting things at your workplace.”
“Heh, I see but don’t say—that’s my only fun at work!”
Lu Yichen nodded in agreement.
Though he promised to give her tens of thousands in pocket money each month as his lover, he guessed Yue Suxin wouldn’t accept that easily.
Besides, calling her his lover was just playful teasing, like calling her “mistress” or “big sister”—meant to stir an intimate atmosphere.
“When you have a day off, I’ll take you shopping for some clothes.”
“Huh? Why suddenly take me shopping?”
“You complained about wearing work clothes in the photos yesterday.”
Hearing this, Yue Suxin laughed heartily, “Haha, just because of that? I have clothes. Next time I’ll definitely wear my own. Or do you prefer me in a uniform, junior?”
“I like it best when you’re not wearing one,” Lu Yichen flirted.
“You! If I don’t wear it, can you still sleep at night?”
“Then I won’t sleep.”
Yue Suxin had mentally prepared for last night; she wanted to give herself to Lu Yichen but hadn’t anticipated the unforeseen situation.
“Seriously though, what style do you like? I’ll wear it for you.”
Lu Yichen pondered a moment, then whispered near her ear, “Any style is fine—as long as it’s you, I’ll love it.”
That single sentence flushed Yue Suxin’s cheeks bright red.
Lu Yichen truly had a way with words.
“Junior, just wait—next time I’ll give you a surprise.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”
After breakfast, Lu Yichen called a car to take Yue Suxin to her workplace.
It was already nine in the morning, and Lu Yichen hailed a taxi back to his apartment.
