When Shen Xingchen said that, Shen Li immediately understood.
Her period had arrived.
He hadn't taken care of her for two years, and he nearly forgot—she suffered from menstrual cramps, enduring several painful days every month.
Years ago, he had taken her to see many doctors.
The doctors said it was due to her constitution and that it might improve after she got married and had children.
Seeing the water cup in Shen Xingchen's hand, Shen Li took the cup from her and said, "I'll get you some water. You should go lie down on the bed."
"There's no need, Uncle. I can do it myself."
But Shen Li didn't listen to her. He reached out and took the cup away regardless.
Seeing this, Shen Xingchen looked at his retreating back for a long while before pressing her stomach and heading back to her room to sit down.
She usually watched her diet strictly, never eating anything cold, not even when her period wasn't due. Why did her stomach still hurt so much?
