Do him?

Su Xiaofei didn’t think she would be able to do it at all. Even though she was previously married, her experience with physical intimacy was lacking, and it had only resurfaced when she was with Lu Qingfeng.

She also didn’t want to think of the time she conceived her child through devious means in her previous life. When she drugged Mo Yuchen, forcing him to consummate their marriage, he had been rough with her, and Su Xiaofei regretted doing it with him for the following days as she had been in pain.

Although she trusted Lu Qingfeng and knew that he wouldn’t force himself on her, a part of her was still afraid of the pain she would feel once the deed was done. If that happened again, she knew that Lu Qingfeng would blame himself for hurting her.

“Is it really painful?” She suddenly asked Xi Qian after a long silence between them.

Su Xiaofei was aware that Xi Qian was more experienced than her when it comes to dating and intimacy. Before meeting Li Xiran, Xi Qian had been in a three-year-long relationship until her boyfriend dumped her six months ago.

It was Xi Qian’s turn to blink and look at her with surprise. Did she hear Su Xiaofei, right? Her best friend who hated being touched by men was now considering furthering her intimacy with that little tyrant? Just what did Lu Qingfeng do to make Feifei change her mind? She wondered.

Xi Qian looked around and pulled her best friend into a vacated fire exit. If she was going to give Feifei a talk about her first time, then she would rather say it without anyone in earshot. Thankfully, Yun Qingrong was being accompanied by Aunty Liu at the waiting area as they waited to be called in.

“Feifei, it shouldn’t be painful. Yes, it might hurt just a little, but it shouldn’t be painful that you would be left in tears. You may feel some discomfort during the penetration, but it shouldn’t hurt at all. Maybe it would hurt for some women, especially if they aren’t wet enough, if you know what I mean.” She started in a hush tone while keeping an eye on the door.

“Everyone’s first time is unique and different. You don’t really need to force yourself if you don’t like to do it. I’m pretty sure Lu Qingfeng would understand. You should be willing to have sex with your partner, and you must explicitly give your consent to the same.”

Heck. Knowing that little tyrant, he would rather hurt himself than make Su Xiaofei cry. Xi Qian thought. If she was right, Lu Qingfeng would think of a way to lessen Feifei’s discomfort.

“I see.” Su Xiaofei’s blush deepened and she didn’t dare to ask Xi Qian more. She didn’t know what came to her to suddenly ask her best friend such a question. It wasn’t like she and Lu Qingfeng would get married anytime soon and consummate their marriage, not when her mother was currently sick.

“Well, thanks for your tips, Qian. I’m pretty sure Lu Qingfeng and I aren’t ready for it.” She replied, intending to leave the fire exit to return to her mother’s side.

“Just don’t force yourself, Feifei. That’s what I want to say. Anyway, it won’t hurt to be prepared, just in case you two can’t keep your hands off yourselves.” Xi Qian laughed. “I know someone who can help you discreetly.” She then winked at Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei could only groan as her best friend dragged her into a different department in the hospital, wondering if she would one day regret telling Xi Qian her worries. An hour later, they returned to the oncology department where her mother was waiting for their return, with her face flushed red.

“Did something happen, Feifei? Your face looks red?” Her mother asked curiously, while Aunty Liu was looking at the two young women with amusement in her eyes.

Su Xiaofei refused to meet her mother’s eyes and shook her head.

“Nothing you should worry about. It must be the heat from outside.” She lied through her teeth. Su Xiaofei didn’t think she was ready to discuss such a private subject with her mother.

As she said this, they suddenly heard rushed footsteps coming their way and found Lu Qingfeng heaving for breath, dressed in his light gray dress shirt and black slacks, with his bag hanging on his right shoulder. Following behind him were Nine and Miss Katarina, who were walking soundly and both dressed professionally.

“I hope I’m not late.” Lu Qingfeng said as he looked at Yun Qingrong as he tried to catch his breath.

Yun Qingrong smiled at him and shook her head. Lu Qingfeng didn’t need to come and show his support today, but he still did. It made her feel warm inside, knowing that her Feifei had managed to find a decent man like him.

“No, Xiao Feng. There’s been a little delay on the doctor’s part since he received an emergency call, but she assured us that she would be back soon.”

Lu Qingfeng sighed in relief before joining Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian at the other side of the hallway. As he conversed with the two women, Yun Qingrong and Aunty Liu followed him with their eyes.

“Sister, do you know, I always wondered why I wasn’t blessed with my own child, but now, as I look at those three, I feel like it didn’t matter anymore. Those three children had given me enough love and the chance to become a mother even if it’s just for a moment.”

Aunty Liu sighed next to Yun Qingrong. She had been accompanying her for several years, so how can she not know Yun Qingrong’s internal struggles?

“Don’t worry. They’ll be fine as long as they have each other..” Aunty Liu answered her, knowing that Yun Qingrong was worrying about these children she came to love as her own.
