My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 609 - 016: Are you buying it for your girlfriend? _3

"I have nothing to do once I’m free in the afternoon!" Yun Xi thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. She gently pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Uh... Are you free right now?"

"Yeah, I am!"

"You’re not working today?"

"No, it’s Saturday, no appointments with patients."

"So what are you doing now?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"At home, just woke up, haven’t had lunch yet!"

"What a coincidence, I haven’t had lunch either. How about we have BBQ now?" Yun Xi’s eyes lit up and she said with a smile.

"It’s so late, and you haven’t eaten yet?"

"Yeah! I’ve been busy and thought I’d eat after finishing work."

"Alright then! Shall we meet at the restaurant? Send me the address!"

"No, come to my office! Pick me up here! I can’t really step out right now." Actually, thinking about it, Yun Xi still felt a bit embarrassed.

"Can’t leave? Haven’t you finished your work already?"

"No, why are you asking so many pointless questions? Just get over here! You’re being so annoying!"

Seeing Yun Xi a bit upset, Lu Xize scratched his nose with a hint of jealousy, "Alright! I was just curious, that’s why I asked. Why are you getting so worked up?"

Yun Xi was at a loss, thinking of how to phrase it: "Well... can you bring me something on your way here?"

"Hmm? What is it?"

Yun Xi held her forehead, knowing that such a moment was absolutely the most awkward situation, no doubt.

"Say something!" Seeing Yun Xi hadn’t spoken for a while, Lu Xize urged.

"Bring me a pack of sanitary pads." Yun Xi said this as fast as she could, so quickly that even she wasn’t sure what she had said.

So, naturally, Lu Xize didn’t catch it either, only hearing a fleeting sound: "Where did you learn that language? What was that? I didn’t catch a single word."

"Bring me a pack of sanitary pads." Yun Xi took a deep breath and said it again softly.

This time, her voice was as small as a mosquito’s, and Lu Xize still didn’t hear it clearly, furrowing his brows: "Bring you what? Can you speak properly? I couldn’t hear what you just said, and now I can’t hear anything at all."

Yun Xi was speechless; his comment gave her a bit of anger, and she said through clenched teeth, each word distinctly: "I said... bring me... a pack of... sanitary pads, the daytime use kind. Did you hear it clearly now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xize on the other end of the line fell silent, utterly silent, making Yun Xi think he had hung up the phone or there was no signal.

"Are you still listening? Lu Xize?"

"Yes, I’m listening."

"Then why aren’t you saying anything?"

"Uh, it’s just... a bit at a loss for what to do, just a bit... surprised, that’s all."

Yun Xi was speechless again. Actually, she felt quite embarrassed and awkward too. If Jiang Xinrui and the others hadn’t finished work yet, she wouldn’t have had to be so awkward. But since it’s Saturday, apart from their design department doing overtime, everyone else had a day off. She couldn’t find anyone suitable to buy it for her, and as luck would have it, Lu Xize called, so she had no choice but to ask.

"Forget it then, you don’t have to bring it." Yun Xi pursed her lips, feeling a bit humiliated, and said with pride before planning to hang up the call.

"Hey, wait, I’ll bring it. I’m heading out now. Do you have a specific brand in mind? Send me a picture."

Yun Xi awkwardly touched her nose: "I’ll send it to you on WeChat later, hurry up!"

"Okay."

After finishing the call with Lu Xize, Yun Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. After finding a picture of the brand she often uses online and sending it to Lu Xize, she couldn’t help but urge him again.

Upon seeing the picture she sent, Lu Xize rushed to the supermarket. When he saw the wide array of brands on the shelf, he was instantly dumbfounded, standing there blinking until two girls walking by seemed to be stifling laughter, which snapped him back to reality. He then awkwardly raised his hand to cover his mouth and cleared his throat before beginning to look for the same brand as the one in Yun Xi’s picture.

But after searching half the shelf, he still couldn’t find that brand, and knowing Yun Xi was still waiting for him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

"Excuse me, handsome, do you need any help?" A middle-aged lady approached, sizing him up and noticing the picture on his phone, seeming to understand what he was up to, but still politely asked.

"Uh... no, thank you." Being looked at with a smile by the lady, Lu Xize felt even more embarrassed, trying his best to make his smile look natural, he politely declined.

"Is it to buy sanitary pads for your girlfriend?" But the lady didn’t seem to want to leave and straightforwardly asked.
