Rebirth: Inheriting Millions In The Eighties
Chapter 284: Provocation Fails_1

Mrs. Lu didn’t respond, not until Jiang Rou was far away did she sniff, "Who wants to see you again."

"Nanny Wu!" Then, she called out for the housekeeper.

Nanny Wu quickly put down her work and came over, "Madam, what can I do for you?"

"From now on, keep your eyes peeled and don’t just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry into our house, especially not vixens like the one just now. They really make me sick!" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, I won’t let her in again," Nanny Wu quickly complied and let out a sigh, "I always thought they were just colleagues looking out for each other, never did I realize she had those kinds of intentions."

"All right, I’ll forgive you this time. Let’s go, we shouldn’t disturb the young couple any longer!" Mrs. Lu winked at Xia Ningxing and then dragged Nanny Wu away.

Xia Ningxing’s face instantly turned as red as a tomato.

What young couple, we’ve only just started talking, it’s so embarrassing!

"Feeling shy?" Seeing this, Lu Tingli’s narrow eyes narrowed even further, the corners of his lips teasing her.

"Not at all!" Xia Ningxing wouldn’t admit it, she glared at him before opening the medicine kit in her hands, "Stretch out your leg, it’s time to change your dressing."

"Baby Xing has had a hard day being a bridesmaid, I can change the dressing myself," said Lu Tingli as he touched her hair with his warm, dry palm before taking the medicine kit.

Xia Ningxing, however, held on tight, looking up at him, "I’m not tired."

With that, she pushed his hand away from the medicine kit.

He was wearing loose white casual pants. Xia Ningxing rolled them up, revealing his lower leg wrapped in a bandage.

His legs were straight and well-shaped, muscular when clothed and slender when undressed, exuding an unmatched masculine charm.

Xia Ningxing didn’t know why, but her face heated up again. She quickly removed the old bandage, and upon seeing that the wound was slightly inflamed, frowned, "What happened, how did it get infected? Have you not been taking the anti-inflammatory pills I made for you on schedule?"

Her knowledge of plants and mastery of pharmacology made making pills an easy task for her.

And they were several times more effective than the common anti-inflammatory drugs available on the market.

Logically speaking, the situation should not have gotten worse.

Guilty flashed in the depths of Lu Tingli’s eyes, but it soon disappeared as he uttered three words, "I did."

"Then how could it still be inflamed? It shouldn’t be. Could it be because I haven’t made pills for a long time and they are no longer effective?" Xia Ningxing muttered in confusion, yet her little hands swiftly applied ointment to the wound before wrapping it with fresh bandage.

Finally, she secured it with medical adhesive tape.

After a few days’ practice, both her technique and speed in changing dressings had improved significantly.

"All done!" Xia Ningxing clapped her small hands and then gathered all the scattered medical supplies on the bed back into the medicine box.

Lu Tingli joined in to help as well.

Once everything was cleaned up, Lu Tingli took the young girl’s hand and had her sit beside him, "Baby Xing, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Xia Ningxing’s eyes, misty with uncertainty, gazed at him.

Lu Tingli met her gaze, "I’ll be returning to the research institute to work tomorrow."

"But your injury hasn’t healed yet!" Xia Ningxing widened her eyes, "This research institute, how can they exploit the sick!"

Lu Tingli spoke with resignation, "My leg is injured but my brain isn’t. For research, having a brain is all that matters."
