Chapter 102: Go Home

Jiang Lai instinctively sensed something was off.

Normally, Xu Ruobing’s every movement and word towards her were gentle and tender, but at this moment, her actions were unprecedentedly firm.

If she had to describe it, Xu Ruobing now seemed like a fierce beast about to feed—leaving no room for resistance.

Jiang Lai blankly watched as Xu Ruobing pried her legs apart. “You don’t have to open them that much!”

Jiang Lai wanted to clamp her legs shut, but once she remembered it was she who had invited Xu Ruobing over, her resolve immediately weakened.

In this regard, Jiang Lai trusted Xu Ruobing completely—certain that she wouldn’t take advantage of her, no matter how forceful her actions might be.

Out of absolute trust, Jiang Lai abandoned the last bit of resistance and fully surrendered herself like a delicacy placed before Xu Ruobing, letting her do whatever she wanted next.

Even after calming her inner unease, she wasn’t worried that Xu Ruobing would be rougher than necessary.

Yet the intense, burning gaze Xu Ruobing gave her made Jiang Lai blush deeply.

Xu Ruobing’s demeanor was full of contrast—her face calm and expressionless, radiating an ethereal, cold beauty like a fairy, pure and flawless.

But in front of Jiang Lai, she was more greedy, more shameless than anyone, coveting her completely.

There was an alluring contradiction in this big star right before her eyes, one that made Jiang Lai unable to look away.

“Be good. I’ll be gentle. It won’t hurt.”

Xu Ruobing sensed a trace of fear in Jiang Lai’s eyes, so she softened her expression and gently stroked Jiang Lai’s soft hair.

“If you don’t relax a little, the cotton tampon will hurt you…”

“Okay.”

Jiang Lai’s experience in this area was certainly less than Xu Ruobing’s, so she decided to just obediently follow along.

At this moment, it felt like they were dancing on the edge of a knife—each second a torment, constantly walking the thin line between calm and flare-up.

For some reason, as Xu Ruobing’s beautiful fingers approached, Jiang Lai’s eyes trembled.

She wanted to watch everything unfold but was also too shy and wanted to close her eyes.

“Close your eyes. Don’t think about anything, forget about me completely.”

This time, Xu Ruobing didn’t give Jiang Lai time to prepare but covered her lovely eyes with her other free hand.

Feeling that warm hand on her face was like a switch being flipped.

Jiang Lai even worried Xu Ruobing’s hand wouldn’t cover her eyes tightly enough, so she raised her own hands to cover over Xu Ruobing’s.

The gesture was so cute it softened the heart.

Jiang Lai was such an adorable existence—how could she allow anyone else to have her? Such a sweet Jiang Jiang should be like a blooming flower, radiating her beauty for all to see.

Xu Ruobing believed that anyone who knew Jiang Lai would fall for this captivating woman.

Without sight, Jiang Lai was experiencing the cotton tampon for the first time.

Everything felt so unfamiliar.

She could tell Xu Ruobing was handling it gently, moving carefully as if afraid she might feel uncomfortable.

Ruobing was truly so gentle…

Throughout the process, Jiang Lai tried to suppress her voice to avoid making strange noises.

Yet, when the unfamiliar sensations overwhelmed her, she couldn’t hold back any longer and let out an embarrassingly shy sound.

She really wanted to find a blanket and bury herself inside…

On the way home, Jiang Lai buried her beautiful face, but even though she managed to hide her expression from Xu Ruobing, she still felt it wasn’t enough.

Since she had become a woman, she thought how great it would be to have an invisibility spell next.

If that were possible, she wouldn’t feel so embarrassed now.

Logically speaking, this was a very normal and loving thing, but her final vocal reaction had somehow colored it with an unwanted pink tint.

At this moment, she couldn’t even look directly at Xu Ruobing in the driver’s seat because the sight of her beautiful face immediately reminded her of everything that had just happened in the restroom.

Xu Ruobing was sitting right beside Jiang Lai now, even closer than before.

If there wasn’t a driver ahead, she would have loved to say some teasing, wolfish words.

But since they weren’t in a private place, no matter how much Xu Ruobing wanted to, she held herself back.

Yet on the way back, a faint smile played at the corners of Xu Ruobing’s mouth—half teasing, half amused.

Her deep, charming peach blossom eyes were full of ambiguous meaning as memories of the restroom flashed through her mind.

“Is your lower abdomen still hurting?”

Looking at the navigation on her phone with only a few hundred meters left to their destination, Xu Ruobing gently tugged Jiang Lai’s sleeve.

“It’s okay… once I get used to the pain, it’s tolerable.”

When Jiang Lai left the hospital, she almost couldn’t walk.

Any large movement caused unbearable pulling pain in her lower abdomen, making it hard to take a step.

She had summarized a simple principle during her period: standing is worse than sitting, sitting worse than lying down.

The less movement, the better—rest was the priority.

If Xu Ruobing hadn’t been by her side the whole time supporting her, it would have been very difficult for Jiang Lai to get from the hospital ward to the parking lot on her own.

“It’s okay. I think I can manage on my own from here…”

But Jiang Lai was overly optimistic about her body.

When they got off the car at the Apartment Building, she couldn’t even stand up by herself.

The menstrual pain had drained all strength from her lower body.

“Jiang Jiang, let me help you!”

Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment but finally reached out her hand, letting Xu Ruobing support her.

After stepping out of the car, Jiang Lai looked around for a long time but never saw her sister-in-law’s figure.

She had already messaged her sister-in-law on the way home.

Jiang Lai felt a sharp pang in her heart—an ache different from menstrual pain.

This time, it seemed her sister-in-law was truly upset with her.
