Li Ji was actually just teasing Hua Manman. Seeing how resistant she was to consummating their marriage, he didn't expose her lie about having her period.
It was Hua Manman, however, who felt guilty.
To make her lie more convincing, Hua Manman deliberately pretended to have a stomachache, acting very uncomfortable.
Li Ji watched her with a half-smile. "Are you really not feeling well? Your complexion still looks quite rosy."
Hua Manman hurriedly covered her face and forced an explanation.
"That's because I'm wearing makeup. I put on rouge."
As the saying goes, one lie must be covered by a hundred more.
To make herself look even weaker, Hua Manman secretly touched up her makeup, deliberately powdering her face deathly pale.
She didn't even dare to remove her makeup before going to bed.
Li Ji looked at her ghastly white cheek, so close to him, and raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure you want to sleep like that?"
Hua Manman clutched her lower abdomen and said weakly.
