Cheng Susu’s menstrual cycle has always been very regular.

Not only is it punctual, but it’s also intense.

Every time it comes, it feels like it’s going to take her life.

She can only grit her teeth, pitying and helpless, curled up in bed, enduring the agonizing cramps in her abdomen.

This is a lingering illness from before she returned to the Cheng family.

Her father and mother treated Zhu Linyun like a princess, but Zhu Hui wasn’t so kind. She didn’t care about Cheng Susu, as she wasn’t her biological granddaughter, and made her do all the dirty and tiring work.

But reflecting on it now, it no longer matters.

Cheng Susu’s longing for family had been worn down almost entirely by Zhu Hui.

And that small flicker of hope was completely extinguished by her father and mother.

Considering the pain Zhong Ce might have to endure, Cheng Susu, being an experienced person, kindly suppressed her schadenfreude and listed all the tricks she thought could alleviate the pain, in case they were needed.

At the supermarket.

In addition to buying the essential sanitary pads, Cheng Susu also took Zhong Ce to find brown sugar ginger tea, warming patches for the abdomen, and other things.

She kept talking non-stop, going over everything he needed to be aware of.

Zhong Ce, on the other hand, walked beside her with an expression that said he had no interest in anything.

At this moment, neither of them realized that they were being followed by a sneaky figure.

It was a fan of the beauty blogger “Zhong Family’s Second Young Madam.”

Usually, the fan would follow the blogger’s beauty tips, and the blogger had also recommended the tall, handsome, and wealthy “national husband” Zhong Ce.

She never expected to run into Zhong Ce in a supermarket one day.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the CEO is here to shop too?!

And she’s meeting the real Zhong Family’s Second Young Madam?!

She was so excited she nearly fainted, secretly lifting her phone to take a picture of Zhong Ce and Cheng Susu from behind, licking the screen like a treasure, and after savoring it, quietly followed them, hiding behind a shelf, eavesdropping.

Cheng Susu: “You need to remember, no cold drinks or cold water.”

Cheng Susu frowned: “I know the ginger tea doesn’t taste good, but drinking it will ease the pain. If you don’t drink it, don’t come crying to me when the pain is unbearable.”

“Spicy food is also off-limits.”

Cheng Susu felt a sense of satisfaction. The dietary restrictions she used to follow no longer applied to her, “I’ll have Aunt Zhao cook some light dishes.”

“Don’t buy watermelon or bananas, they’re not suitable during your period.”

“Once you’re better, we can buy them. Eat as much as you want.”

Zhong Ce: “…”

Being a woman is really hard! So hard!

The fan behind them nearly screamed.

She was so thankful to the blogger for leading her into this world. Look at this, look at this, look at the perfect, home-loving man she’s a fan of!

She really wanted to rush over to see what Zhong Susu was like.

What kind of goddess could have tamed such a divine young man?

The fan quickly pulled out her phone and posted on Weibo.

Then, she shared it with the blogger “Zhong Family’s Second Young Madam.”

“I’m really jealous,” she said.

After seeing this message, “Zhong Family’s Second Young Madam Zhong Ce” turned into a lemon, feeling sour.

She asked the fan’s permission, took a screenshot, and then, with a shameless grin, posted it on Weibo.

【My husband really cares about me!!!】

The fan: “…”

Blogger, please face reality.

However, what no one expected was…

In a situation where everything seemed set, the wind suddenly stopped.

Cheng Susu’s period was always very regular, never early, never late, with a cycle of about 27 or 28 days.

But now, the five days when her period should have come had passed, and the big “Aunt” in Cheng Susu’s body still hadn’t arrived, and there wasn’t even a hint of it.

This was a bit strange.

Zhong Ce was also a newbie in this regard. Every day, he was living in fear, haunted by Cheng Susu’s past menstrual pain.

If it came, he would be less anxious.

But waiting beyond expectations without it arriving made him feel like it would strike him when he least expected it.

Cheng Susu got off the treadmill, took the towel Zhong Ce handed her, wiped the sweat off, and said, “Don’t worry, maybe our bodies switched and it disrupted the original rhythm.”

After a pause, she glanced sideways at him and asked, “Have you been feeling any chest pain recently?”

Zhong Ce, with a blank expression: “…”

He wanted to refuse to answer such a vulgar question.

He furrowed his brows but ultimately relented, “I don’t feel anything.”

The lights illuminated every corner of the gym, making it very bright.

Outside the villa, the evening breeze rustled the leaves.

At this moment, something flashed in Cheng Susu’s mind.

She squinted her eyes, and the calm expression she had disappeared in an instant. Her brows furrowed, she swallowed, and then took a sharp breath. Her voice trembled as she unconsciously said, “Do you think… could it be… could I be pregnant?”

Zhong Ce suddenly looked up: “!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“We switched bodies, didn’t we? We were… together all night.”

The more Cheng Susu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She was no longer calm, her face pale as she stared at Zhong Ce, her eyes wide. After a long pause, she pointed out the key, “At that time, you were disoriented, and we didn’t take any precautions.”

She had planned to take the morning-after pill the next day.

But the next day was such a mess, she completely forgot about it.

What if she really was pregnant? What should they do?

Not just her, but Zhong Ce definitely wasn’t prepared either.

Cheng Susu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and not scare herself.

She glanced down, and Zhong Ce’s face was even paler than hers.

Seeing the comparison, she felt a bit better.

Zhong Ce reached down and touched his stomach, “Are you saying…”

He paused, unsure if it was the suddenness of the news or something else.

He instinctively asked, “Am I going to be a mom?”

Cheng Susu: “…”

“Watch your words,” she gritted her teeth.

Zhong Ce: “Huh?”

Cheng Susu suspected his brain was malfunctioning: “You’re the dad.”

Zhong Ce: “…”
