Luosang frowned. “This is the most popular period application among girls. Why would you know more about these applications than us? I am the one with the period anyway, not you. I am the one keying in the data. We’ve been broken up for a while now. How would you know when I had my last period?”
Nian Junting pondered what she said. She made a fair point. “I’ll record your data again. Tell me, when was the last time your period came?”
“It hasn’t come at all.” Luosang was dejected when she mentioned it.
“All this while?” Nian Junting was shocked.
“Your period is seriously delayed. You should run a check at the hospital.” If her period wasn’t regular, it would affect the effectiveness of their baby making.
“It’s probably because I stayed up too late for a while.” Luosang frowned. “It happened before when I worked too hard and didn’t get enough sleep.”
Nian Junting agreed with her. She slept an average of five hours every day when she was working. It must have been hard on her body. “Are you going to be staying up every night in Beijing? I don’t mean to nag you, but your job is too taxing. If your period doesn’t come regularly, it’ll be difficult to get pregnant. I’ll get Doctor Han to feel your pulse and prescribe you some Chinese medicine to help your body recuperate when we get back.” He had to get her pregnant within three months. If not, she might not adhere to their agreement afterward.
“What’s the hurry?” Luosang was baffled.
“I have to treat it seriously. You know, at the rate you’re abusing your body, you might end up infertile,” Nian Junting said unceremoniously. “You should look after your body while you’re young.”
Luosang pouted. She wasn’t someone who wasted her body because she was young. She did want to have children in the future. “Fine, but it has to be done secretly. I don’t want people to find out that I’m trying to get pregnant.”
“Don’t worry.” Nian Junting put on his cardigan begrudgingly. “I’ll get going since we can’t do it today.”
He was only there to make babies with her? He didn’t miss her at all? Luosang was miffed.
“What? You can’t bear to see me go?” Nian Junting looked back at her.
Luosang said harshly, “Scram.”
“I won’t go, then.” He sat on her bed.
Luosang bent down and looked at him. “Mr. Nian, I’m afraid you will have to sit somewhere else. I’m not fertile right now. I can’t make babies for you.”
Nian Junting grinned. “Fine then, I’ll leave now. I have to climb the Great Wall with An Lan.”
Luosang’s smile disappeared instantly. I hope you fall off the Great Wall and break your legs, she thought to herself.
“Goodbye.” Nian Junting waved and walked to the door before he added, “Oh right, how long are you staying in Beijing for?”
“One week.”
“Alright, I’ll ask Doctor Han to come over in the next few days.”
Luosang was speechless. “There’s no rush.”
“Your period has been delayed for over 20 days. Don’t try to argue with me.” Nian Junting wanted to nag her more, but he didn’t want to show too much concern, so he held it in. “I’m only doing this for my baby.” He shut the door and left after saying his piece.
Luosang laid in bed again after he left. She felt like she was in a dream. She couldn’t believe that she just signed a contract to have Nian Junting’s babies. She didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.
