Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Washing Clothes for Ningxing_1

After washing his face, he also washed his feet; then, Lu Tingli washed all the dirty clothes that Xia Ningxing had changed out of earlier.

Especially when washing her undergarments, his ears grew hot, something seemed to cross his mind, and a strange glimmer flashed across his usually icy black pupils, his heart rippling like water.

Realizing how filthy his thoughts were, Lu Tingli immediately slapped himself across the face, and after calming down, he continued to scrub the clothes.

In the cold moonlight,

a tall man sat on a small stool, with a washbasin in front of him, seriously scrubbing the clothes with his distinctly jointed, large hands.

Jiang Rou also lived nearby. She had intended to come over and see how Lu Tingli and Xia Ningxing were getting along but didn’t expect to find Lu Tingli washing clothes alone in the yard in the middle of the night.

Moreover, he was washing women’s clothes. Jealousy flared in her eyes in an instant, and she felt like tearing Ningxing’s heart out.

Indeed, the young lady of a wealthy family!

Even making a man wash clothes for her!

Simply so lacking in manners!

Jiang Rou trembled with anger, deeming Lu Tingli undeserving of such treatment.

If she were his partner, she would certainly take care of all his daily needs; he wouldn’t have to do such menial tasks himself.

Fuming, Jiang Rou used some excuse to gather a few fellow officers’ wives from the family compound for a walk. In reality, she led them to Ningxing’s place, so everyone could see for themselves Ningxing ordering Lu Tingli to wash clothes.

Now the wives who already had issues with Ningxing looked down on her even more, and by the next day, they had made a big fuss about it in the family compound.

"Oh, you don’t know how delicate that rich young lady is, having her own husband wash her clothes."

"Exactly, if it were my man, he’d curse me to death."

"I guess Captain Lu must be after her family’s money; otherwise, why would he lower himself to such an extent?"

"Sigh, I really thought Dr. Jiang and Captain Lu made a perfect match!"

"Right, they are so well-suited, with Dr. Jiang being kind and generous."

Seeing Ningxing’s reputation taking a hit made Jiang Rou all the more elated.

But that’s a story for later.

At the moment.

After hanging the clothes on the line, Lu Tingli turned and went back inside.

Xia Ningxing was already asleep. Lu Tingli tucked her in and turned to leave, but then he paused, thought for a moment, and finally crept over to her side as if a thief.

With a wife by his side, who would want to spend the night alone on a cold pillow!

Ningxing was sleeping in a daze when she felt her side sinking in and a warm presence snuggle up. Immediately, she wrapped her arms and legs around him without hesitation.

Such initiative by a soft and fragrant beauty was something Lu Tingli had been longing for.

Ah, this...

Wouldn’t it be better to sleep in his own cold bed!

In the middle of the night, sudden severe pain struck Ningxing’s abdomen. She couldn’t help but gasp for air, a pained moan escaping her throat.

Lu Tingli was instantly awakened. He rubbed his eyes, quickly made himself alert, and was extremely nervous, "Baby Xing, what’s wrong?"

"My stomach really hurts," Ningxing said, her face pale as she experienced the despair of menstrual pain for the first time.

Possibly because there was no air conditioning or heating here, she couldn’t withstand it, which had caused the dysmenorrhea.

"Wait here, I have painkillers. I’ll go get them for you," Lu Tingli said, immediately climbing out of the warm bed to look for medicine.

He was only wearing a thin undershirt, and in the sub-zero temperatures, just looking at him made one shiver.
