The Road to a Divine Harem Starting with a Stepmom Companion

Chapter 36: Boss, Please Hand Me a Pack of Minting

The custom-made Cheongsam on Liu Xiaofei barely stayed intact before it was torn at the seams and discarded like an old rag.

Their escapades moved from the sofa to the dining room, and then from the dining table to the balcony.

After a brief rest,
Cao Shaoyang helped Liu Xiaofei to the bathroom to clean up. Their traces were left in every corner of the room.

Until…
“Out? How could we run out?”
“Didn’t you go to the supermarket when you came back?”
“Sorry, Xiao Ma, I think I forgot about it!”

Liu Xiaofei’s body stiffened abruptly. Trembling, she asked, “When did we run out?”

Cao Shaoyang wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist and, with a tone of nonchalance, said something devilish, “There’s only one left in the house.”

Liu Xiaofei collapsed onto the yoga mat, her first thought being, “This is a disaster!”

The relatives who had come to visit right before Shaoyang’s college entrance exams had only just left!

But after some reflection, she relaxed, realizing that his behavior made sense in hindsight—he always insisted on certain things, and now she understood why!

Though the situation wasn’t ideal, she couldn’t afford to be careless. After realizing the truth, Liu Xiaofei decided to call an end to this battle.

“You! How could you forget something so important? What if…”

Cao Shaoyang grinned cheekily. “Don’t worry, Xiao Ma! Don’t you trust me?”

The Next Morning

Cao Shaoyang woke up abruptly, startled by a sharp pain shooting through his tailbone.

Opening his eyes, he met Liu Xiaofei’s furious gaze while feeling the throbbing ache on his waist.

Still not satisfied, Liu Xiaofei twisted his waist harshly, making him yelp. Before he could even complain, she kicked him again.

Her voice dripped with fury, “This is what you call making me trust you? Making me believe in you?”

“Last night, you nearly turned me into a cream puff! Get up now and buy me medicine!”

The resentment in her voice was almost tangible.

Cao Shaoyang gave an embarrassed, guilty smile. He didn’t dare to talk back or delay. After all, he was undeniably at fault.

Grabbing the school uniform Liu Xiaofei had first taken off last night—also the only garment still intact—he skipped washing his face, brushing his teeth, and tidying his messy hair. After a quick adjustment to look somewhat presentable, he hurriedly escaped from her bedroom.

Only after the elevator doors closed did Cao Shaoyang drop his frantic act. With his hands in his pockets, he hummed a little tune.

Yes, his earlier panicked behavior was entirely an act. Last night’s “cream puff operation” had been carefully planned.

So, despite being sent out to buy medicine in a hurry, Cao Shaoyang felt no guilt. In fact, he was rather pleased with himself.

Because of what happened last night, even though it involved injecting something into Xiaoma, the essence wasn’t fundamentally different from his own vitality. However, it worked as a specialized system-grade medication on a different level altogether.

He couldn’t possibly comprehend the exact mechanism in this lifetime. But the functional injections he purchased from the system, designed specifically for women, required his body as a medium. The effects could only be activated through injection, ingestion, or natural absorption—with natural absorption yielding the best results.

Of course, there was a price to pay. Whatever was given could only function as medication. Forget about using it for reproduction—it was fully absorbed by the recipient’s body. Pregnancy? Completely out of the question.

Upon realizing Xiao Ma was in her risky period last night, Cao Shaoyang went all out for the sake of fleeting pleasure, paying a hefty price.

Beauty-enhancing injections, breast enhancement shots, hip augmentation doses, waist-slimming injections, and fat-burning shots—each cost him 500,000 yuan. Even the second most expensive injection, the body-strengthening dose at 1,000,000 yuan each, was used twice.

If not for the system’s perks of “Boundless Energy” and “Titanium Alloy Dual Kidneys,” anyone else attempting this would’ve been carried away in an ambulance.

Though he knew Xiao Ma wouldn’t get pregnant because of the injections during her dangerous days, Xiao Ma didn’t know that!

So, buying the medication was still necessary—whether or not she actually needed to take it. After all, medicine is inherently harmful to some extent, especially one like this, which could have negative effects on women’s health.

Therefore…

“What did you say you needed?”

The 40-something pharmacist at the drugstore, a stern-looking woman, widened her eyes in shock as she looked at Cao Shaoyang, dressed in a student uniform.

Cao Shaoyang awkwardly rubbed his nose, regretting his decision to wear the uniform out. Great—now he’d probably left this pharmacist stunned for the entire year.

Indeed, the pharmacist behind the counter was utterly taken aback.

Though she’d heard stories of precocious teens, and even gossiped with colleagues about youngsters buying contraceptives, those customers were usually bundled up in inconspicuous clothing. Besides, it was mostly girls who came in, not boys—let alone someone striding in boldly in a school uniform to buy contraception. This was a first for her.

Seeing the pharmacist frozen in shock, Cao Shaoyang had no choice but to repeat his request with more emphasis.

“Boss! Please get me a box of *Minting, thank you!” he said loudly, emphasizing each word to ensure she understood and snapped out of her daze.

Fortunately, there were no other customers in the store besides him and the pharmacist, so he didn’t worry about being overheard.

[“敏婷” (Minting) likely refers to a brand or type of contraceptive product, such as emergency contraception pills or birth control.]
